A good time for all Fair organizers are expecting a much bigger turnout this year

SANFORD — With a new bear show, high-wire trapeze act and enlarged midway, the Lee Regional Fair may draw its largest crowd to date in 2010. The fair, which runs from Sept. 14 through 19, is now in its 73rd year. Organizers are promising another award-winning party, which routinely attracts residents from a four-county radius and beyond. Fair steering committee member George Harvey expects this year’s attendance to top 2009, when turnout lagged due to inclement weather and poor economic conditions.
WHAT: Lee Regional Fair WHEN: Sept. 14-19 WHERE: Lee County Fairgrounds, located at the corner of Weatherspoon and 7th streets. ADMISSION: $6, ride armbands $17; armbands available in advance at area schools and local Piggly Wiggly stores for $14
Emma Carter, then 9 months (left), takes a look back at her competition, Anthony Emmert, then 10 months, during last year’s Diaper Derby at the Lee Regional Fair. “Based on what we’re hearing through the fair network, up and down the East Coast,
fairs are having greater attendance this year than last,” Harvey said, projecting a
turnout of 30,000 to 35,000. “I think because of the economy, people are staying closer to home.” As usual, he added, “Weather is a huge factor for us.”

Curiosity the drive behind plan
Admins to get raises
By ALEXA MILAN
amilan@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — Dennis Wicker and Carol Chappell have always had a thirst for curiosity. At five years old, they climbed into the front seat of the car while their mothers were in a bakery and took off, rolling backward down a hill and barreling toward an intersection until a stranger intervened and saved the day. That was long before Wicker became North Carolina’s lieutenant governor and the founding chairman of the Lee County Education Foundation, and long before Chappell stepped into her role as Lee County Schools director of K-5 instruction. But their curiosity hasn’t faded, nor has the connection these first cousins share. It’s taken them a long way from their

One dead, one injured in Lillington home invasion
Volunteers needed for Big Sweep of Jordan Lake
LILLINGTON (MCT) — One person was killed and another injured during what authorities are calling a home invasion in rural Harnett County on Friday afternoon. Sheriff Larry Rollins said one person was found shot dead in a residence on Windsong Drive. He said that person lived at the residence. Another person was shot and found in a wooded area along Windsong Drive, a dirt road that abuts the Woodbridge subdivision, which is located on N.C. 24/27 near Johnsonville. That person was transported to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center with nonlife-threatening injuries, Rollins said. He did not say whether that person was a resident of the house. Rollins said shots were reported at the residence at 2:15 p.m. It is located off the road within a wooded area. Rollins would not say whether the shooting victims were male or female. He also would not say what kind of weapon was used or how many times the people were shot. Rollins said several witnesses who were at the residence at the time of the incident were being interviewed on scene. He said lawmen were trying to determine whether multiple suspects were involved in the shooting. Lawmen spent several hours searching a wooded area along Windsong Drive. Harnett County sheriff’s deputies were assisted by the state Highway Patrol, including a Highway Patrol helicopter that flew overhead. Deputies occasionally would fire their weapons in an effort to flush out anyone hiding in the woods. At one point in the afternoon, Highway Patrol troopers and Harnett County sheriff’s deputies were lined along N.C. 24 with automatic rifles and shotguns. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office at (910) 893-9111.
JORDAN LAKE — Clean Jordan Lake seeks volunteers to help with the Jordan Lake “Big Sweep� on Oct. 9, either to donate the use of their boat for the day or to hike through the woods to bag and move trash to boats. “This is one of the harder locations we’ve attempted, and the density of the litter is like nothing we have seen in past events,� Dr. Tom Colson, co-founder of Clean Jordan Lake, said. “We will depend on a large number of people and an equal number of boats to get the debris out of lake before water quality is seriously impaired or before wildlife are entangled in it.� The Oct. 9 event to Clean Jordan Lake will involve the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission, the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources, and Chatham County government. The cleanup will focus on the shoreline downstream of where the Haw River enters the lake. Interested volunteers for Clean Jordan Lake’s Big Sweep event on Oct. 9 are encouraged to visit www. cleanjordanlake.org for details.

Fair Continued from Page 1A
Each day of the fair will be filled with agricultural exhibits, animals, entertainment, rides, games and food. According to fair chairman Ronnie Turner, the midway will be the biggest and best yet. “We’ll be bringing in more rides than we ever have,� Turner said. Fair organizers are upping the entertainment ante with some fresh acts — including a live bear show every night on the midway. This is also the first year for a high-wire “circus� featuring trapeze artists, the Carolina Dock Dogs, and roaming entertainers Washboard Willie and Wanda. The demolition derby, motorcycle endurance races, chainsaw artists, professional wrestling, the Lee Regional Fair talent show and karaoke round out the entertainment offerings. In addition, each night of the fair, local talent will take the amphitheater stage. For vehicle enthusiasts, the fair offers an antique tractor and farm machinery display and an antique car, truck and motorcycle cruise-in. With the return of the cheerleading competition, said Harvey, “this should be one of the biggest Sundays we’ve ever had.� He is also counting on a large audience at the Miss Lee

Brandon Fox, then 9, (left) and Nina Stapleton, then 8, go for a spin on the “Sizzler� at last year’s Lee Regional Fair. Regional Fair pageants. “We’ve had more participation in these pageants this year than we have in the past — period,� Harvey said. Cooking contests will start with the mayor’s choice bakeoff for youth on Tuesday, followed by the cake cook-off on Wednesday, the chili cook-off on Thursday, and the homemade ice cream contest on Saturday. Hungry fairgoers can take advantage of the newly renovated Lions Club kitchen or buy roasted corn on the cob from the Leo Club. Fair exhibitors will be displaying in the livestock barn, the ball field and the exhibit hall. Entries will be
excepted on Saturday from 1 to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. Judging will take place on Monday, Sept. 13, and there will be a drawing of $500 each for one youth and one adult who enter. “As in the past, the fair will continue to showcase agriculture and youth events ...,� Lee County Extension Director Susan Condlin said in a written statement. Events kick off Tuesday with the truck and tractor driving competitions on the ball field and the youth broiler competition in the barn. The meat goat show will follow on Wednesday night, and the livestock show and champion poul-
try and livestock auction will be held Thursday. Admission to the fair is $6, and ride armbands are $17. Piggly Wiggly and local schools will be selling armbands in advance for $14. Additional parking will be available this year on Weatherspoon and Fifth Streets, and Sanford police will be on hand for traffic control. Harvey said he was thankful to all of the businesses, organizations and individuals who support the fair, without whom the tradition would not be possible. “For the size we are, to put on an event like this with strictly volunteers; it’s unbelievable,� he said. “It’s just a fun, fun time.�

faculty and staff at the county’s best-performing elementary school, Wicker knew his cousin was the perfect person to assist him. “My vision was what can we directly impact in the classroom that can help kids learn,� Wicker said. Together, he and Chappell developed a formula to determine the best-performing school that incorporates Adequate Yearly Progress, ABC scores and free/reduced lunch percentage, plus bonus points for making expecting growth, high growth and School of Distinction or School of Excellence status. Always complimentary of each other, Chappell said Wicker set up the formula while she just flushed it out, and Wicker insists he couldn’t have done it without Chappell’s data and hard work. “She literally spent hours at my kitchen table on Saturdays working with this formula and came up with a model that is fair and objective,� Wicker said. One of the reasons he and Chappell work so well together, Wicker said, is their mutual respect for one another. Even when they disagree, they never raise their voices or exchange harsh words. Wicker said they’ve never had a real fight. They were born just two months apart, and they can’t remember a time when they weren’t in each other’s lives. “There was a special bond between Carol and me because we literally were together from the cradle through graduating from UNC,� Wicker
said. Many of Chappell’s and Wicker’s qualities that the community knows best can be traced back to their childhood in Sanford. Wicker said Chappell was always a creative and innovative thinker who served as his “moral compass,� and he isn’t surprised she went on to have a successful career in education. “I think it goes back to having a vested interest in the community,� Chappell said. “Part of the joy of my work is that I still know a lot of the teachers and parents. I’m interested in how these children learn.� In a community as tight-knit as the Sanford of their childhood, Chappell said there wasn’t a person in town who didn’t know Wicker. He displayed his leadership skills early on, including at a memorable family trip to Tweetsie Railroad during a show that involved a group of Indians attacking the train. Not wanting anything to come between him and his family, Chappell said, four-year-old Wicker took the initiative to climb into the overhead compartment and jump down on top of the offending Indian. “If he thought something wasn’t just, he’d say, ‘Something’s not right here. We have to go investigate,’� Chappell said. Wicker’s and Chappell’s passion for fairness and helping the community’s children led to one of the most original components of the Head of Class formula — the free/reduced lunch percentage. Wicker calls it “the great equalizer,� the key to making the formula fair and balanced. They thought it was important to include established state mea-
sures, such as AYP and ABCs, but when combing through the data, Chappell and Wicker found it was much harder for schools with a high free/reduced lunch population to reach certain achievements. It was noticeably more difficult for schools with more than 60 percent of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch to achieve a high performance designation. In 2009-2010, all of the area elementary schools except for Tramway had free/reduced lunch rates of more than 60 percent. Tramway was the only one to achieve School of Distinction status. “(Free/reduced lunch) was just critical because that’s how you level the playing field,� Chappell said. “That goes back to poverty’s impact on the home. Free/reduced lunch is based on economic disadvantages.� The cousins said their dedication to Lee County, and particularly the community’s schools, stems from the positive influence of their parents and teachers. In addition to their longlasting bond, Chappell and Wicker brought to the Head of Class Project their shared commitment to education. Their families have been a staple in Lee County for generations. Wicker’s father was in the general assembly for 14 years, and his grand-
father was an active member of the civic community. Chappell’s and Wicker’s Lee and Moore County roots stretch back 200 years. Wicker said they wanted to leave their own mark on the community, one he hopes will influence the family’s future generations. “We always talk about what we can do to add to that legacy, what we can do to help,� Wicker said. “It’s just in our DNA.� The Lee County Education Foundation had given out smaller grants before the introduction of the Head of Class Project, but Wicker said he thinks all the pieces have fallen into place with the initiative. Corporate donors are attracted to the healthy competition aspect, Wicker said, and educators are excited by the scholastic benefits the program could provide their students. Chappell and Wicker both feel the formula is a flexible model that can be tweaked if necessary, especially as state testing programs change. If it succeeds here, they hope other districts throughout the state and the country will find the formula is also applicable to their schools, an accomplishment that will only add to their ever-growing family legacy. “Every school is a team,� Chappell said. “The students are all winners here.�

Raises Continued from Page 1A
transportation and the director of exceptional education will go home with bigger paychecks this year. A few of them will receive raises without additional responsibilities because of the experience they have gained since they were hired. “When I evaluated the employees, some had come in at a low level until they became more experienced in those positions,� Moss said. The other administrators who will receive raises this year will take on new responsibilities in addition to their old ones, so Moss said he made minor adjustments to their pay. In addition to their state salaries, Lee County Schools administrators receive annual local supplements, and some have travel budgets rather than being reimbursed for mileage. Finances were uncer-
tain earlier this year when state budget cuts for the new fiscal year raised the possibility of cutting teaching positions. Moss said Lee County ultimately did not lose any positions, and the central office raises were unaffected. “The state did cut our budget, but with the reprioritization of expenditures here locally, we did not have to cut any positions in Lee County,� Moss said. Moss said he is grateful for the service of the administrators receiving pay increases, and he expects they will continue to excel at their work in the new school year. “Some of the individuals are in charge of multi-million dollar budgets,� Moss said. “It’s a huge responsibility. All of these individuals have similar responsibilities where each day they have to make decisions for the well-being of the students of Lee County and keep us in line with federal regulations.�

SUNDAY THUMBS THUMBS UP: CCCC gets national nod Another day, another “best of” list with Central Carolina Community College on it. This time, CCCC was named on of the Top 50 community colleges in the nation by Washington Monthly magazine, which surveyed CCCC students on their educational experiences and took into account CCCC’s graduation rate. We continue to be proud of Sanford’s “little college,” and
we’re certain the accolades won’t stop here. Keep up the good work, CCCC.
THUMBS DOWN: HAVEN’s ironic day The day began so wonderfully for HAVEN, a local nonprofit that helps victims of sexual and domestic abuse. On Wednesday, the organization broke ground on a $1.85 million facility that will not only serve as a new office, but a new shelter for abused women and their families. That night, however, it was a different story. Workers returned to their current Carthage Street offices to find a brick through a
window, two computers and a printer stolen and other miscellaneous items taken from desks. It wasn’t enough to totally kill the joy of the new facility, but it certainly didn’t add to the excitement. That we have people who resort to burglary is unfortunate. That they chose an organization that helps so many others with limited resources is very unfortunate. We hope the person or persons responsible are brought to justice. And we hope it’s only a minor hiccup in a great
year for HAVEN.
THUMBS UP The road to recovery Many know Jerry Pedley because of his community involvement and role as a local business leader. Many like Jerry Pedley because he’s just a heck of a nice guy. And many prayed for Jerry Pedley nearly a month back when he fell through the roof of a local church he was helping do work on and suffered life-threatening head injuries and a broken shoulder blade. Early reports of the accident weren’t optimistic when it came to Pedley’s recovery, but less than a month later, he’s back at work and doesn’t look any worse for wear.
Pedley took the time to sit down with The Herald this week to tell his story and talk of the support the community offered him and his family and how that helped him get back on his feet. “Everyone’s kindness and thoughts and prayers that went out to him helped him a lot, not just while he was in the hospital but after he got home too,” his wife, Donna Pedley said. “It made a big difference to know that people cared.” Welcome back, Jerry. As always, it’s great to see you out and about in our community.

Republicans are a divisive bunch heading into November election
RE: ‘HEAD OF CLASS’ FORMULA A YEAR IN THE MAKING
Local politics was a key issue on Sunday’s editorial page. As a longtime Republican volunteer, a candidate in the primary for commissioner in District 4 and a civic activist, I want to share my thoughts. The dynamics within the local Republican party are not healthy for our county or for the long tern success of the party. Within our county, Republicans (9,237) are only 29 percent of registered voters. Republicans need to start with a united base, attract a large portion of the one-out-of-four voters who are registered as unaffiliated, and pull in some Democrats to win. Instead of focusing on attracting non-affiliated voters, the small band of party leaders persist in attacks on Republicans who do not share exactly all their views. They succeeded over the years in driving away attractive candidates and effective leaders who would be good for our county and community. Now they are turning their efforts to discredit Sheriff Tracy Carter because, as a person who will not set character aside and is totally guided by what he thinks is best for Lee County, Tracy flatly and openly refuses to support Mike Stone for the District 51 House Seat. Sheriff Carter is a good man and a good sheriff, and we as Republicans should be proud of him. He does not deserve to be, and should not be attacked by his own political party because he has made a choice contrary to some in local party leadership. Just like Sheriff Carter, we all have the freedom to decide who should be our leaders in ourcommunity. His decision does not make him any less Republican — it just means he can make up his own mind. In this current Republican climate in Lee County, Republicans may be tempted to stay home or just throw in the towel and re-register as Unaffiliated. My message is that Republicans need to stay in the party even if they find themselves casting votes for the Democrat opponent of those who follow the current party leadership line. I am proud to be a Republican and will not give up my affiliation because of one slate of officers. Fortunately, the approach taken by local GOP leaders is not embraced by such candidates as Sen. Burr and or Renee Elmers who are seeking to send Obama a message by defeating Bobby Etheridge. Be proud to be a Republican and show your support for Sheriff Tracy Carter.
The initiative by the Lee County Education Foundation and the private dollars raised is to be commended. Any real change in public education will not happen, however, unless it can happen from the bottom up. North Carolina has a very centralized education bureaucracy which is driven from the top down. Until governors start appointing members to the State Board of Education with diversity of opinion and solid experience in education reform, not much improvement will take place. The ABC testing program is deeply flawed and is not a good measure. -- CitizenZane Within the walls of many, if not all, schools here in Lee County are community volunteers and tutors. Their impact on our students is important. The personal attention and relationship building promotes feelings of self-worth and confidence within the child. Volunteers and tutors make a difference, too. -- analytical
RE: WILD LETTER ASKS WHERE ALL THE CENTRISTS HAVE GONE Joe, you’ve asked some important questions. Our current economic difficulty is a replay of 1937/38 when during the height of the Great Depression, the economy went into a recession. The Fed chairman, Bernake has admitted this. Keep in mind that you, as an independent, are the centrist, the fence sitter here. Both parties have their hardcore whose votes are already calculated. As bad as things were under Bush, can you say you are satisfied with the way the Dems (in total control of both houses and the presidency) have played the cards they were dealt? Are 100 years of progressive policies (pushed primarily by Dems, but also Repubs) on the whole a net good or a net bad? Your vote counts even if your candidate loses because you have helped clarify for yourself where you stand. With study you may be able to stop being a wishy-washy centrist. Take a stand and vote. -- alan06017
RE: JOINT MEETING BETWEEN GOVERNMENT ENTITIES AND EDC One can only hope this long-needed joint meeting will open the door for some fresh new ideas. Despite millions of dollars in giveaways over the past decade, Lee County firms are employing only a marginally higher number of people. Contrary to the rhetorical comments from Commissioner Hayes in this article, it was highly unlikely Caterpillar wanted to move to South Carolina. Plans to expand here had already been made; we just made it easier for them to stay by giving them our hard earned tax dollars. -- imjustsayinfsa

‘Restoring honor’

T
hat was the headline on Thursday’s Drudge Report. And it is as good a summary as any of what happened Wednesday night when incumbent California Sen. Barbara Boxer met her challenger, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, in their first debate. By all measures, Boxer should be vulnerable. She is a liberal. No denying it. She wouldn’t think of it. She is an incumbent, a strong supporter of an increasingly unpopular president, a vigorous opponent of the Iraq war, a very capital “D” Democrat in a year when Democrats are in trouble, even in California. Even optimistic tried-and-true Democrats are worried about the California governor’s race — notwithstanding former Gov. (and now candidate) Jerry Brown’s legendary skills and genius as a political wizard, the big registration advantage, the problematic poll numbers of the current Republican governor and the vulnerabilities of former eBay CEO and current gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman. When I talk to Washington insiders, they scoff when I say I think Boxer is in better shape than Brown. That shouldn’t be, not in an anti-Washington, anti-incumbent election. But if you think I’m wrong, catch a few minutes of Wednesday night’s debate. Boxer repeatedly attacked Fiorina for cutting jobs at HP and shipping them to China and India. She punched hard at Fiorina’s putting “Made in China” and “Made in India” labels on her products and touting that as success. Not fair, retorted Fiorina; Boxer shouldn’t be attacking HP. “She’s running on her record as the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, so what she did there counts,” Boxer said. “And I’m going to keep on telling the truth about it.” ... Despite the climate, Boxer has certain advantages over Fiorina that Brown does not have over Whitman. The first is money. Fiorina and Whitman are both former CEOs, but only one is a billionaire. That would be Whitman. She built eBay. Fiorina got ousted from HP. Whitman left with a bundle. Fiorina is wealthy — but not wealthy enough to fund a campaign in California. Right now, Boxer holds a definite edge in fundraising. Then there are the issues. Fiorina had a tougher primary fight, which means she had to move further to the right before she could try to find her way back to the center. Only one-third of the registered voters in California are Republicans. Among them, the most conservative vote in primaries. The reason “moderate” Republicans such as Dick Riordan (the former Los Angeles mayor who could have won a general election for governor of California but couldn’t win the Republican primary) and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (who only won election because it was an “open” recall) have successfully pushed for open primaries is because the primary effect on Republicans is to make them unelectable in November. Fiorina, after a tough primary, finds herself running as an anti-abortion, overrule Roe v. Wade, drill-baby-drill Republican. ... But what may count for most in the end is what I call the human factor. I never judge people by how they treat people with power: Everybody treats people with power well, unless they have even more power. No, it’s how they treat the people beneath them, e.g., the gals who do their makeup before they go charm the anchors interviewing them on live television. No one sees more of candidates this time of year than makeup artists, and while the male candidates often race in and out, no woman over 50 goes on television without a serious session with foundation and powder. So I’ve been doing my own poll. In a year in which an unprecedented number of women are running for office, you get a very good sample size. And after 20 years in television, I know a lot of makeup artists, including the freelancers at the satellite studios where we all end up. The issue is not ideology; it’s niceness. Meg Whitman does just fine. So, by the way, do both Barbara Boxer and Sarah Palin. But Carly Fiorina? Not so much.

Something for nothing
P
erhaps the most difficult economic lesson is that we live in a world of scarcity and everything has a cost. Scarcity exists whenever human wants exceed the means to satisfy those wants. For example, Rolls-Royce produces less than 4,000 cars a year but it’s a safe bet that more than 4,000 of the Earth’s 6.5 billion people want a Rolls-Royce. That means Rolls-Royces are scarce. But it’s not just Rolls-Royces that are scarce. It’s clothing, food, land and most anything a human would want. There’s not enough to meet every single want. Scarcity means there’s no free lunch. Having more of one thing requires having less of another. You might say, “Williams, that’s where you’re wrong. Someone gave me this newspaper and I’m reading your column for free!” Not true. If you weren’t spending time reading my column, you might have spent the time reading something else, chatting with your wife or children, or going out for a jog. You’re reading my column for a zero price but you’re not doing so at zero cost. You have to sacrifice something. There are zeroprice services such as “free libraries,” “free public schools,” “free transportation” and free whatever. It doesn’t mean that costs are not being borne by somebody. The vision of getting something for nothing, or getting something that someone else has to pay for, explains why so many Americans are duped by politicians. A congressional hoax that’s flourished for seven decades is the Social Security hoax that half of the Social Security tax (6.2 percent) is paid by employers, the other half (6.2 percent) paid by employees. The law says that if you are self-employed, you get to pay both halves. The fact of the matter is whether you’re self-employed or not, you pay both halves of the Social Security tax that totals 12.4 percent. Let’s look at it. Suppose you hire me and our agreedupon weekly salary is $500. From that $500, you’re going to deduct $31 as my share of the Social Security tax and you’re going to add $31 as the so-called employer’s share, sending a total of $62 to the IRS. Here’s the question: What is the weekly cost for you to hire me? I hope you answered $531.
Walter Williams Syndicated Columnist Williams is a professor of economics at George Mason University.
The next question is: In order to make hiring me profitable, what must be the minimum dollar value of my contribution to your total output? If you said $531, go to the head of the class because if the value of my contribution to total output is only our agreed-upon salary of $500, you’re making losses hiring me and you’re going to be out of business soon. Therefore, if I am producing $531 worth of value per week, it is I who’s paying the so-called employer as well as the employee share. The reason why Congress created the fiction of the employer share was to deceive us into thinking that we’re paying fewer taxes than we in fact are. By the way, all those other nonwage benefits that a worker receives are in fact paid for by the worker such as health insurance, retirement benefits and childcare services. Without these nonwage benefits, money wages would be higher. During WWII, Congress imposed wage and price controls making it illegal for companies to compete for employees by offering higher wages. That’s when we saw many companies start to offer nonwage benefits, such as health insurance, as a means of competing for employees. Nonwage benefits turn out to be good for the employee because, for the most part, he pays no taxes on them. In other words, if the employer paid the worker the cash value of, say, health insurance as wages, the worker would have to pay income taxes on it and then go out and buy health insurance. The bottom line lesson is that if you think you’re getting something for nothing, or somebody else is paying for something you receive, you’d better give it another look.

espite all the words spilled in evaluating Glenn Beck’s tentless revival last weekend, the real meaning may have been hiding in plain sight. Beck’s “Restoring Honor” gathering on the National Mall was right out of the Alcoholics Anonymous playbook. It was a 12-step program distilled to a few key words, all lifted from a prayer delivered from the Lincoln Memorial: healing, recovery and restoration. Beckapalooza was yet another step in Beck’s own personal journey of recovery. He may as well have greeted the crowd of his fellow disaffected with: “Hi. My name is Glenn, and I’m messed up.” Beck’s history of alcoholism and addiction is familiar to any who follow him. He has made no secret of his past and is quick to make fun of himself. As he once said: “You can get rich making fun of me. I know. I’ve made a lot of money making fun of me.” Self-mockery — and cash — seems to come easily to him. Any cursory search of Beck quotes also reveals the language of the addict: n “It is still morning in America. It just happens to be kind of a headpounding, hung-over, vomiting-forfour-hours kind of morning in America.” n “I have not heard people in the Republican Party yet admit that they have a problem.” n “You know, we all have our inner demons. I, for one — I can’t speak for you, but I’m on the verge of moral collapse at any time. It can happen by the end of the show.” Indeed. After the hangover comes admission of the addiction, followed by surrender to a higher power and acknowledgment that one is always fallen. These may be random quotes, but they can’t be considered isolated or out of context. For Beck, addiction has been a defining part of his life, and recovery is a process inseparable from The Glenn Beck Show. His emotional, public breakdowns are replicated in AA meetings in towns and cities every day. Taking others along for the ride, aka evangelism, is also part of the cure. The healed often cannot remain healed without helping others find their way. Beck, who vaulted from radio host to political-televangelist, now has taken another step in his ascendancy — to national crusader for faith, hope and charity. It’s an easy sell. Meanwhile, Beck has built a movement framed by two ideas that are unassailable: God and country. Throw in some Mom and apple pie, and you’ve got a picnic of patriotism and worship. Wait, did somebody say ... Mom??? Sister Sarah, come on down! Yes, Mother Superior made an appearance. Sarah Palin, whom Beck sainted a few months ago during an interview in which he declared her one of the only people who can save America, came to the Mall not to praise politics, but to honor our troops. Palin is the mother of a soldier, after all, and God bless her, and him, and all those who have served. Unassailable. As Palin said, whatever else you might say about her, she did raise a combat soldier. “You can’t take that away from me.” Who you? Oh, that’s right, The Media. Never mind that Beck is one of the richest members of the media. Or that Palin has banked millions primarily because The Media can’t get enough of her. ... Covering all his bases, Beck invoked the ghost of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who stood in the same spot 47 years ago to deliver his most famous speech. Where King had a dream, Beck has a nightmare: “It seems as darkness begins to grow again, faith is in short supply.” Really? When did that happen? Because it seems that people talk about God all the time these days. Even during the heyday of Billy Graham, most Americans could get through 16 or so waking hours without feeling compelled to declare where they stood on the deity. ... Like other successful revivalists — and giving the devil his due — Beck is right about many things. Tens of thousands joined him in Washington and watch him each night on television for a reason. But he also is messianic and betrays the grandiosity of the addict. Let’s hope Glenn gets well soon.

In death, Durham doctor will set an example DURHAM (AP) — Soon after Dr. Clark Wang found out he might be dying, he decided to give the Earth a parting gift: a casket made of untreated wood salvaged from an old chicken coop. A former psychiatrist at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh, Wang was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2003. At first, his prognosis was hopeful, but after treatment and a year’s remission, his cancer returned in a far more virulent and incurable form, and his thoughts turned to his own mortality. He didn’t want his remains to contribute to the Earth’s blight. For nearly two years, Wang has been an advocate for green burials, a growing alternative to common American burial practices with their hermetically sealed metal caskets, concrete vaults and bodies pumped with embalming fluids. At his urging, the Triangle’s first green burial ground has been established — at Wake Forest’s Pine Forest Memorial Gardens.
There, bodies are buried in biodegradable containers beneath the trees. Pine Forest is one of 24 cemeteries nationwide - including ones in Asheville and Wilmington — certified by the Green Burial Council for their ecological practices. Increasingly, funeral directors are coming around; 400 providers are certified by the council. With baby boomers entering their retirement years, the popularity of green burials could soon take off. In the time he has left, Wang, 48, wants to spread the word that people can use their deaths to leave Earth a better place. “I wanted to use my death as an example to others that we can get back to the reality human beings have practiced for a million years,� he said, “natural burial.� Wang’s mother died when he was 2. She was buried in a conventional cemetery in Ann Arbor, Mich., and he always imagined that he would

eventually lie next to her. He arrived in Durham as a Duke University freshman in 1980 and never left. He held three jobs as a Duke-trained psychiatrist. Then he was diagnosed with cancer. His dawning environmental awareness began with a search for wholesome nutrition for his weakened body. He learned that the products he and his wife Jane Ezzard bought at the grocery store were highly processed and full of chemicals. The meat they ate was stuffed with antibiotics; the animals were fed byproducts from other animals. Then Ezzard brought home a documentary that explored the intersection of coal burning and global warming. The couple became committed environmentalists, looking to lessen their footprint on the planet and help heal Earth from the ravages of over-industrialization. Wang began to question his long-held plan to be buried near his mother. He worried about fertilizers
and other chemicals used to keep cemeteries lush leaching into the ground. Then he worried about the expense of shipping his body back to Michigan. “It made no sense to indulge that desire when I had a powerful opportunity to do something better,� he said. Until the Civil War, all Americans were buried using green practices. When a loved one died, typically, the women would wash and dress the body and lay it out in the parlor. Meanwhile, the men built the coffin and dug the grave. Burial often took place in the backyard or church cemetery within a day or two of the death. The thousands of bodies that piled up during the Civil War made that impossible. Soldiers’ bodies sent home by rail often arrived in an advanced state of decomposition. Battlefield surgeons then hit on embalming - draining the blood and replacing it with formaldehyde - as a way of preserving the bodies until they could be buried. By

war’s end, the practice had become commonplace, and the modern funeral industry was born. Wang wants to see a return to a simpler past. Health officials say embalming is not needed. Jewish law forbids it. Many European countries have banned it.
As a doctor, Wang knew formaldehyde can cause cancer, and he didn’t want it leaching from his grave into the ground and eventually the water supply. But even without embalming, the more he learned about conventional cemeteries, the less he wanted to be buried there.

Attorney attacks crime lab in trial
GRAHAM (AP) — A defense attorney became the first what’s excpected to be a long line of lawyers attacking the credibility of the state’s crime lab in a trial. The News and Observer of Raleigh reported that Durham lawyer Scott Holmes tried unsuccessfully Friday to get his client’s murder trial postponed so evidence processed by the State Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab could be independently tested. Judge J.B. Allen refused
to postpone the Sept. 27 trial, but he ordered money be provided for Holmes to have new tests done quickly and he ordered the SBI to cooperate with those tests. More court challenges are expected after an investigation by two former Federal Bureau of Investigation officials found that SBI agents helped prosecutors obtain convictions over a 16-year period, mostly by misrepresenting blood evidence and keeping critical notes

from defense attorneys. In the case Holmes is arguing, the attorney claims an SBI computer analyst going through his client’s computers used key words and searched e-mails only for a certain period of time, based on investigators’ theory of the crime. “That’s the problem of police in lab coats,” Holmes said. “The only thing he looked for was what would help the district attorney. ... He didn’t look for stuff that helps us.”

Tarbor native honored as national DAV commander
FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — April 13, 1984, was the day that Wally Tyson was given a wheelchair and told he would probably never walk again. But with the support of the Disabled American Veterans, Tyson did walk again - and he does so today despite neurological disorders linked to his time in the military. More than 25 years after the veterans group first helped Tyson, the Tarboro native and current Fayetteville resident is now the nonprofit organization’s top elected officer. Tyson, who is 58 and a member of DAV Chapter 46 in Cumberland County, was elected as the group’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. Tyson will help promote the organization of 1.2 million disabled veterans and try to push the
group’s legislative goals. “I never had any idea that I’d do something like this,” said Tyson. “But I’m not one to turn down a challenge.” Barry Blevins, who serves as adjutant and treasurer of the Cumberland County chapter, said having Tyson at the helm is a blessing to the more than 3,000 disabled veterans in the county. “He knows our needs and our wants,” Blevins said. “And he’ll sit down with leaders in Washington and help set the agenda.” Tyson is the first North Carolina native to lead the Disabled American Veterans, which dates to 1920.

For Muslims, an anniversary like no other NEW YORK (AP) — American Muslims are boosting security at mosques, seeking help from leaders of other faiths and airing ads underscoring their loyalty to the United States — all ahead of a 9/11 anniversary they fear could bring more trouble for their communities. Their goal is not only to protect Muslims, but also to prevent them from retaliating if provoked. One Sept. 11 protest in New York against the proposed mosque near ground zero is expected to feature Geert Wilders, the aggressively anti-Islam Dutch lawmaker. The same day in Gainesville, Fla., the Dove World Outreach Center plans to burn copies of the Quran. “We can expect crazy people out there will do things, but we don’t want to create a hysteria,” among Muslims, said Victor Begg of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan. “Americans, in general, they support pluralism. It’s just that there’s a lot of misinformation out there that has created confusion.” On Tuesday, the Islamic Society of North America will hold a summit of Christian, Muslim and Jewish leaders in Washington “to address the growing tide of fear and intolerance” in the furor over the planned New York mosque. Islamic centers in many cities are intensifying surveillance and keeping closer contact with law enforcement. Adding to Muslim concern is a fluke of the lunar calendar: Eid al-Fitr, a joyous holiday marking the end of Ramadan, will fall around Sept. 11 this year. Muslim leaders fear festivities could be misinterpreted as celebrating the 2001

Muslim men pray at the Darul Uloom Institute in Pembroke Pines, Fla., on the first day of Ramadan. Muslims across the world refrain from eating, drinking and smoking from dawn to dusk during Ramadan. terror strikes. “We’re telling everyone to keep their eyes open and report anything suspicious to authorities and call us,” said Ramzy Kilic of the Tampa, Fla., chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations. Other efforts around 9/11 aim to fight bigotry. Muslims will clean parks, feed the homeless, and give toys to sick children as part of Muslim Serve, a national campaign to demonstrate Islamic commitment to serving humanity. Separately, groups are distributing ads to combat persistent suspicions about Islam. One spot, called “My Faith, My Voice,” features American Muslims saying, “I don’t want to take over this country.” Sept. 11 anniversaries have always been challenging for U.S. Muslims, who have been under scrutiny since the attacks. This year, the commemoration follows a stunning summer in which opposition to a planned Islamic community center near the World
Trade Center site escalated into a national uproar over Islam, extremism and religious freedom. Islamic centers as far away as Tennessee and California faced protests and vandalism. In western New York, police said a group of teenagers recently yelled obscenities, set off a car alarm and fired a shotgun during two nights of drive-by harassment at a small-town mosque near Lake Ontario. Usama Shami, board chairman for the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix, said a new mosque the congregation has been building for years drew little attention until recently, when some resistance emerged in the neighborhood and from some in city government. Recently, vandals broke into the new building, spilled paint on the floor and broke expensive windows. Shami believes the ground zero dispute is partly to blame for the trouble, along with passions unleashed by Arizona’s
strict new law that would require police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are in the country illegally. “All of these issues came at the same time,” Shami said. “When things like that happen, I think they bring out the worst in some people.” On Sept. 11 in Chicago, Zeenat Rahman, a 34-yearold native of the city, will visit a local nursing home with Muslim and non-Muslim friends to spend time with residents and help serve a meal. “This is when people are going to look at our community, and when they do, what are they going to see?” said Rahman, a policy director for the Interfaith Youth Core, which promotes pluralism. “Sometimes, saying ‘Islam means peace,’ feels a little defensive and apologetic, whereas service is really core to our faith.”
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Paul Conrad, the political cartoonist who won three Pulitzer Prizes and used his pencil to poke at politicians for more than 50 years, has died. He was 86. David Conrad says his father died Saturday of natural causes at his home in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. Conrad took on U.S. presidents from Harry S. Truman to George W. Bush with his stark, aggressive visual style. His favorite target was President Richard Nixon. At the time of the president’s resignation, Conrad drew Nixon’s helicopter leaving the White House with the caption: “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest.” David Conrad said his father considered appearing on Nixon’s enemies list to be his proudest achievement. Conrad worked at the Los Angeles Times for 30 years and helped the newspaper raise its national profile.
Craigslist removes adult services section HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Craigslist has apparently closed the adult services section of its website, two weeks after 17 state attorneys general demanded it shut down the section. The section had been replaced Saturday by a black and while “censored” logo. Craigslist did not immediately return an e-mail seeking comment. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, one of the AGs who pressed for the change, said in a written
statement that he welcomed the change and was trying to verify Craigslist’s official policy going forward. He said if it was doing the right thing voluntarily in response to the AGs, it could set a good example for others. In an Aug. 24 letter, the state attorneys general said Craigslist should remove the section because it couldn’t adequately block potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution and child trafficking.
Shoes, eggs hurled at ex-Brit PM Blair in Dublin DUBLIN (AP) — Protesters hurled shoes and eggs Saturday at Tony Blair who held the first public signing of his memoir amid high security in Ireland’s capital. Hundreds more people lined up to have their books autographed — evidence that the divisions left by Blair’s decade as British leader have yet to heal. Blair’s new book, “A Journey,” is a best-seller, but it has angered opponents of his policies, especially the 2003 invasion of Iraq. About 200 demonstrators chanted that Blair had “blood on his hands” as the former prime minister arrived at a Dublin bookstore. Shoes, eggs and other projectiles were thrown toward Blair as he emerged from a car, but did not hit him. A flip-flop could be seen lying on the roof of a BMW in Blair’s motorcade. Security was tight, with book buyers — who appeared to outnumber the protesters by about two to one — told to hand over bags and mobile phones before entering Eason’s bookstore on O’Connell Street, Dublin’s main shopping thoroughfare.

Farms being prosecuted for importing workers HONOLULU (AP) — Two prominent, popular brothers who operate the secondlargest vegetable farm in Hawaii will be sentenced in federal court this week on human trafficking charges — they pleaded guilty — but two former state governors, community groups, fellow farmers and other supporters are trying to keep them out of prison. The brothers were convicted of shipping 44 laborers from Thailand and forcing them to work on their farm, part of a pipeline to the United States that allegedly cornered foreign field hands into low-paying jobs with few rights. Aloun Farms may be too important to fail in an island state that once relied on pineapples and sugar cane but grows less than 15 percent of the food it consumes, according to supporters of defendants Alec and Mike Sou. “The incarceration of Alec and Mike Sou would threaten our food security and could endanger our future sustainability on Oahu,” wrote Kioni Dudley, president of the community group Friends of Makakilo, in a letter asking U.S. District Judge Susan Oki Mollway for leniency. “Find some method of punishment which allows them to stay in their positions at Aloun Farms.” The Sou brothers are asking for a light sentence with little or no jail time based in part on the idea that their farm is too valuable to the islands’ food supply to let it go untended. The plea deal they agreed to in January called for up to five years imprisonment.
Fired, rehired teachers back at troubled RI school CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. (AP) — Teachers who were fired and ultimately rehired in a dispute that focused national debate over education reform have returned to their Rhode Island classrooms amid hopes that changes they agreed to will help improve student performance at their persistently troubled high school. The changes at Central Falls High School — where just 7 percent of 11th graders tested last year were proficient in math — include a longer school day, more rigorous teacher evaluations and flexible schedules to provide more classes for struggling students. Teachers were also required to participate in more days of professional development. Education Commissioner Deborah Gist acknowledged the obstacles facing students in Rhode Island’s smallest and poorest city.
Body of boxing promoter’s son found on peak SEATTLE (AP) — A five-day search for the missing son of top boxing promoter Bob Arum ended when a helicopter located John Arum’s body on a rugged Washington state mountain in North Cascades National Park, authorities say. The body of the younger Arum, an experienced mountain climber, was spotted Friday afternoon from a National Park Service helicopter at about the 7,700-foot level on the north face of 8,500foot Storm King Mountain, park spokeswoman Kerry Olson said. Previous flights had been made in this area, but recent snow melt made it possible to locate the 49-yearold Seattle environmental attorney’s body, she said. It wasn’t possible to retrieve the body, but Olson said it was clear to searchers that Arum was dead.
ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) — Icelike crystals had formed Saturday on the 300-ton blowout preventer that failed to stop oil from spewing into the Gulf of Mexico, forcing BP crews to wait before they could safely hoist the device to the surface. The hydrates — which caused the oil giant problems when the company was trying to contain the oil spilling into the Gulf — need to melt because they are combustible. Crews must take care not to damage the device, which is considered a key piece of evidence in the spill investigation. “We don’t want to lift it and risk an uncontrolled release of gas because that’s inherently dangerous,” Darin Hilton, the captain of the Helix Q4000 vessel that’s raising the device with a giant crane, told The Associated Press. The AP was the only news outlet with a print reporter and photographer on board the ship. The device would be lifted the final 500 feet to the surface once it was assured the hydrates had dissipated. It was not an unexpected delay, Hilton said. Before the stop, it had been painstakingly raised at a rate of about 450 feet to 500 feet per hour. Marvin Morrison, BP’s wellsite leader aboard

The Deepwater Horizon oil rig is seen burning. Now that BP appears to have vanquished its ruptured well, authorities are turning their attention to gathering evidence from what resembles a crime scene at the bottom of the sea. the Q4000, said workers aren’t just waiting for the hydrates to melt normally. Men in red jumpsuits and white hardhats could be seen on the deck using enormous wrench-like tools to turn dials on pipes that were dousing the blowout preventer with warm seawater to speed up the melting. Hydrates form when gases such as methane mix with water under high pressure and cold temperatures. The crystals caused BP PLC problems in May, when the company tried to place a 100-ton, four-
story dome over the leak to contain it. One man on the deck in a white cage with glass windows is using a joystick to guide the crane holding the blowout preventer upward. It will ultimately be raised through a large hatch in the underbelly of the Q4000 up to the top deck, where it will then be placed on what is essentially a huge, metal holding device called a shipping skid. The device likely wouldn’t be hoisted onto the vessel until sometime Saturday evening.
There are 137 people aboard the ship, including FBI agents who are waiting to take possession of the device after its mile-long journey. It will eventually be taken to a NASA facility in Michoud, La., to be analyzed. The 50-foot device was detached from the wellhead Friday afternoon. Another blowout preventer had successfully been placed on the blownout well. Officials wanted a new blowout preventer to deal with any pressure that is caused when a relief well BP has been drilling
intersects the blown-out well. Once that intersection occurs sometime after Labor Day, BP is expected to use mud and cement to plug the blown-out well for good from the bottom. The April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon killed 11 workers and led to 206 million gallons of oil spewing from BP’s undersea well. Investigators know the explosion was triggered by a bubble of methane gas that escaped from the well and shot up the drill column, expanding quickly as it burst through several seals and barriers before igniting. But they don’t know exactly how or why the gas escaped. And they don’t know why the blowout preventer didn’t seal the well pipe at the sea bottom after the eruption, as it was supposed to. While the device didn’t close — or may have closed partially — hearings have produced no clear picture of why it didn’t plug the well. Lawyers will be watching closely, as hundreds of lawsuits have been filed over the oil spill. Future liabilities faced by a number of corporations could be riding on what the analysis of the blowout preventer shows.

Cuban film promises zombie revolution
Fox: Kara DioGuardi departs ‘Idol’
By PAUL HAVEN
Associated Press Writer
HAVANA — What would you do if your entire city was taken over by flesh-eating zombies and communist leaders insisted it was nothing but a plot by U.S-backed dissidents to destabilize the government? If you were the protagonist of Juan de los Muertos — “Juan of the Dead” — the first zombie flick ever shot in post-revolutionary Cuba, you’d figure out how to make some cash out of the carnage. Part horror show, part social satire, the soonto-be-shot movie has the backing of a Spanish production company, a green light from Cuban authorities and a budget that dwarfs most bigscreen offerings from the island. And its irreverent humor — one blurb for the film proclaims: “Fifty years later, a new Revolution has begun” — could make Juan of the Dead the next big thing in Cuban cinema, and give it a real chance at global success. It is the second film by 34-year-old writer-director Alejandro Brugues, who says his idea was to tell a story that was authentically Cuban — but within the logic of a camp zombie flick. Clos-

Mexican makeup artist Cristian Jauregui, left, teaches make up techniques to his collaborators, right, during a training make up session in preparation for the filming of Cuban movie ‘Juan de los Muertos’, or ‘Juan of the Dead’ in Havana, Cuba. est to his heart, he said, is a quintessential island knack for making ends meet, whether by keeping a rusty ’57 Chevy on the road for half a century, or finding a way to feed a family on a salary of $20 a month. Locals even have a saying for how they will overcome the constant hurdles that are part of daily life on this cash-strapped, crumbling island: “I’ll invent something.” “We Cubans have had to deal with a whole series of problems in the last 50 years,” Brugues told The Associated Press, an allusion to the decades of economic hardship and isolation that have followed Fidel Castro’s 1959 revolution, particularly
since the collapse of the Soviet Union. “We have become accustomed to resolving problems on our own and finding a way to survive. So I was thinking, ’How would a Cuban survive a zombie epidemic.” As Brugues spoke, makeup artists in another room were transforming actors into blood-soaked zombies, a process that can take up to five hours. A gruesome zombie head lay on a table alongside multiple cups of coffee and cigarette butts, and a producer was testing out the believability of a detached, latex hand by sneaking up on unsuspecting production assistants and tapping them on the shoulder with it.
Preproduction got under way this week, with shooting slated to start in late October. the filmmakers hope to release the movie in the spring or summer of next year, and plan to role it out at several film festivals before showing it to a wider audience. The movie’s plot is simple: A 40-year old layabout named Juan finds a zombie floating in the water while fishing off the coast of Havana. The zombie attacks but Juan makes a narrow escape, only to find that the undead are all over the city. State-run media blames the whole thing on government opponents backed by Cuba’s archenemies in Washington, but Juan knows better — and comes up with a plan. Together with his sidekick, Lazaro — described by the filmmakers as “just as lazy, but twice as stupid” — Juan puts out the word that he is open for business. Has your grandmother been turned into a zombie? Is your uncle stumbling about with blood coming out of his mouth? Juan and Lazaro promise to get rid of your undead loved ones for just 15 Cuban convertible pesos ($16) a pop, and to clean up the mess for an extra 20 ($21).

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kara DioGuardi is following Ellen DeGeneres and Simon Cowell out the door at “American Idol.” Her departure leaves Randy Jackson, who’s been with the singing contest from the start, the last judge standing, DioGuardi for now. Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez are the reported frontrunners for the panel. Entertainment mogul Simon Fuller, creator of the British show “Pop Idol” that was the template for the U.S. series he produces, called DioGuardi a standout songwriter whom he planned to work with in music “for many years to come.” DioGuardi, whose exit had been rumored, is a hit machine whose songs have been recorded by Gwen Stefani, Faith Hill, Marc Anthony and others, including past “Idol” winners. “I felt like I won the lottery when I joined ‘American Idol’ two years ago, but I feel like now is the best time to leave ‘Idol,”’ DioGuardi said

in a statement Friday, calling her experience as a judge on the show “amazing.” Her statement, issued by Fox, didn’t elaborate on her reasons for leaving. Her contract reportedly had a one-year option remaining that the network could have exercised. Although she offered informed critiques on “Idol,” observers faulted her for lacking the pizazz — and unpredictability — that ex-judge Paula Abdul had provided. DioGuardi’s departure comes as the top-rated show continues auditions for its 10th season, which starts airing in January. Tryouts have been held in six cities, with a seventh announced this week for Los Angeles on Sept. 22. The final decision on which would-be pop stars make it on the show rests with the judges, who are likely to begin filming their audition segments this month. Cowell started the exodus from “American Idol” earlier this year, when he announced he was leaving to launch another talent show for Fox, “The X Factor,” based on the hit British program he created. In July, DeGeneres, who was brought in to replace Abdul, said she was leaving after a single season. The talk show host said she felt uncomfortable criticizing young talent. Some critics had complained DeGeneres was more of a cheerleader than an incisive critic in the fashion of Cowell, who was consistently blunt in his remarks. The judges’ turnover gives “American Idol” a chance to recapture the Cowell-Abdul chemistry that helped make the show a hit, along with, crucially, its ability to launch such top-selling artists as Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. While the show has long been No. 1 in the ratings, it has to stem a slide in viewership to remain there. A total of 24.2 million viewers watched the ninth season’s final duel between Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox, compared to the nearly 29 million viewers who saw Kris Allen win over Adam Lambert last year.

Earl’s biggest damage in Northeast was to business
YARMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — Earl’s worst damage in New England was to seasonal businesses hoping to end their summer on a high note. The tropical storm, far less intense than feared, brushed past the Northeast and dumped heavy, wind-driven rain on Cape Cod cottages and fishing villages, but caused little damage. It left clear, blue skies in its wake. It was the perfect start to a Labor
Day weekend that Cape Cod’s restaurants and hotels hoped to salvage after business was decimated ahead of the storm. “This traditionally for us is a sellout weekend,” said Voula Nikolakopoulos, one of the owners of Tidewater Inn in West Yarmouth, where business was down 80 percent. “I understand that we have to be careful, but I think all this hype was premature.”

Massachusetts suffered a few hundred power outages, a handful of downed power lines and isolated flooding. Maine saw rain and churning surf, but no gusts strong enough to produce damage. After skimming past both North Carolina and Massachusetts, Earl finally made landfall Saturday morning near Western Head, Nova Scotia. The storm brought heavy sheets of rain and
swift gusts, toppling some trees and knocking out power to more than 200,000 customers in Nova Scotia. There were numerous flight and ferry cancellations. Police said the road to the popular Peggy’s Cove tourist site near Halifax was closed to keep curious stormwatchers away from the dangerous, pounding surf. As of 2 p.m. EDT, Earl’s center was crossing the Northhumberland Strait,
north of mainland Nova Scotia and was moving northeast at 45 mph. The Canadian Hurricane Center issued a hurricane watch for parts of Nova Scotia. Earl had swooped into New England waters Friday night as a tropical storm with winds of 70 mph after sideswiping North Carolina’s Outer Banks, where it caused flooding but no injuries and little damage. The rain it brought to Cape

CARDINALS RELEASE QB MATT LEINART
PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have released Matt Leinart, parting ways with the former Heisman Trophy winner who was supposed to be the team’s franchise quarterback but couldn’t escape the backup role. The team made the announcement on Saturday, shortly before the Cardinals had to reach their 53-man roster limit. Arizona thought it had a steal when Leinart fell to the Cardinals at the No. 10 overall pick in 2006. He started 10 games as a rookie under then-coach Dennis Green then the first five the following season under new coach Ken Whisenhunt. But the big left-hander then went down with a broken collar bone five games into the 2007 season and Kurt Warner took over. Wesley Beeson/ The Sanford Herald
nascar hamlin wins pole for atlanta cup race HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Denny Hamlin started chasing the championship during qualifying Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Mired in a bit of a midseason slump, Hamlin showed signs of turning things around by claiming the pole for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race with a speed of 187.380 mph. He edged traditionally strong qualifier Ryan Newman, who’ll start from the outside of the front row after a lap of 187.070. The rest of the top five for the Emory Healthcare 500 was Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart. “I’m a very bad qualifier,” Hamlin said, “so I’ll take it.”
NFL rams name bradford as starting qb ST. LOUIS (AP) — No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford will start at quarterback in the regular-season opener at home against Arizona next weekend. Coach Steve Spagnuolo announced the decision Saturday, saying Bradford had earned the job. “We’re confident. The staff’s confident. The team’s confident,” Spagnuolo said. “It’s well deserved.” The game is Sept. 12. A.J. Feeley, whose injury gave Bradford the chance to take plenty of snaps in the preseason, and Thad Lewis are the backups. Bradford won the 2008 Heisman Trophy when he was at Oklahoma. He signed a six-year, $78 million contract with $50 million in guaranteed money — the most ever in the NFL — and then went out and played well in the preseason against the likes of New England and Baltimore.

One endzone of the field in Cavaliers Stadium on the campus of Southern Lee High School was marked with a “9” in honor of former Lee County player Josh Britt, who died in May from injuries he sustained in a car accident.
From youth teams to the Brick City Bowl players, area football players paid their respect to a fallen teammate this weekend By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com SANFORD — Josh Britt’s memory and the legacy he left behind is being carried on by many in the local football scene. Britt, who would’ve been a rising senior at Lee County High School, was killed in an automotive accident on US-1 back in May. The Sanford Sting Pop Warner football association, where Britt and many other current Lee County and Southern Lee players got started in the game of football, held Josh Britt Day on Saturday morning at Paul Gay Stadium. At halftime of one of the Sting’s games, the entire Lee County Yellow Jacket football team came out to the field to honor their teammate. The Britt family was given a framed package of Josh’s No. 45 jersey and a photo of him in a Sting uniform. “Words cannot describe how much it means to our family

We are so honored that people want to carry on his memory.” When the Britt family was first told of the news, Jeff just
thought that it was just going to be announced that the Sanford Sting was making a donation to Josh Britt’s scholarship. “We had no idea that anything like this was going to happen,” said Jeff Britt. “How can you put a moment like this into words? I’m speechless.
We’re very honored that they would think of Josh’s memory like that.” John Quiggle, the assistant commissioner of the Sanford Sting, said he has wanted to do something to honor Britt since the tragic accident that took Britt’s life at the age of 17. “We’ve talked about doing something to honor him for a while,” said Quiggle. “I found his jersey in storage and we had a copy of that photo. We thought that this would be the best time to honor one of our own.” The Sanford Sting also made a $250 donation to a scholarship that’s been created in honor of Britt. “We’re all a big family,” said Quiggle. “The guys playing in high school started here in Pop Warner and so did Josh. The kids playing now are part of the family, too. When you’re in this family, you never leave. We wanted to honor one of our own

Plenty of familiarity for McNeill and Pirates across the field today
Atlanta ready to be a one-race town
By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer GREENVILLE — While Ruffin McNeill is looking forward to making his coaching debut at East Carolina, his title is just about the only thing new for the first-year Pirates coach. The surroundings certainly won’t be; he is back in at his alma mater, in his home state coaching in the same stadium where he played. Even Sunday’s opponent in the Conference USA opener is a familiar face — Tulsa’s Todd Graham. The two met years ago during McNeill’s 10-year stint as assistant on Mike Leach’s staff at Texas Tech. A few years ago McNeill was recruiting a punter from Allen High School in suburban Dallas. That high school’s coach at the time: Graham, who coached preps before he

Snedeker is leading in Boston, Woods shoots 65 NORTON, Mass. (AP) — About the only thing fun for Jason Day was being atop the leaderboard in the Deutsche Bank Championship. One day after he opened with a 63 in conditions so calm he might as well have been playing indoors, Day found out quickly what he was up against Saturday in treeshaking wind on the TPC at Boston. He hit a tee shot down the middle and found it in the right rough. He aimed his 9-iron 10 yards left of his target and saw it fly over the green. Day got away with it by chipping in for birdie on his way to a 4-under 67 to share the lead with Brandt Snedeker, the second straight week the 22-yearold Australian has been a 36-hole leader in the FedEx Cup playoffs. “It was a little tougher

in his second round and had a 7-under 64. The wind got stronger throughout the afternoon for Day, who birdied his last two holes to catch Snedeker. For all the fretting over weather giving half the field a good break, it turned out to be a push. Of the top 18 on the leaderboard, it was evenly split with players who had to cope with rain and who got the worst of the wind. “I wasn’t liking my odds in the draw when I teed of yesterday,� Snedeker said. “That being said, I think it’s going to end up working out exactly the same. I think these guys in the afternoon are going to have the tough conditions we had yesterday afternoon.� Tiger Woods turned his game around at the right time. In jeopardy of missing the cut and missing out on the rest of the FedEx Cup playoffs, Woods didn’t hit a bad shot through six holes and played bogey-free for the first time in more than a year for a 6-under 65 that left him in the middle of the pack.

Bears hold off Vikings to earn win
BEAR CREEK — Finally. The Chatham Central Bears overcame a late rally by Union Pines to win their first football game of the season on Friday night, holding off the Vikings 29-27. The Bears led by as much as 23-7 before allowing Union Pines (1-2) to score 20 unanswered points, which gave them a 2723 lead late in the fourth quarter. Chatham Central (1-2) took the lead for good on an 8-yard run from Wesley De’Graffenreid with 46 seconds remaining. Union Pines quarterback Taylor O’Neil had three straight completions in the final seconds, which helped lead the Vikings into Chatham Central territory. O’Neil’s last throw was incomplete as time expired. However, the official penalized a Chatham Central player for pass interference, giving the Vikings one last play with no time remaining. On the ensuing play, O’Neil was stopped about two yards short of the end zone to give the Bears the win.

Central Carolina falls to Johnston CC SANFORD — Central Carolina Community College dropped its season opening volleyball match in straight sets to Johnston Community College on Thursday night. The scores were 25-14, 25-15 and 25-21. Despite the loss, Central Carolina head coach Bill Carter is still optimistic about the upcoming season for the Cougars. “I’m very excited about the team,� said Carter. “We changed some things after the first two games and I think it helped some. I’m expecting only good things from this team.� The Cougars will travel to Rockingham Community College on Tuesday night.

No. 4 Gators struggle to beat Miami (OH) in opener

Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher exhorts his defensive unit during the fourth quarter against Samford in an NCAA football game on Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla.
Jimbo Fisher wins debut over Samford TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For the first time in 34 years, a Florida State football season started without Bobby Bowden on the sideline. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jimbo Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team now, though against Samford it hardly mattered who was coaching the Seminoles. Fisher began his career as Florida State coach with the easiest of victories as Christian Ponder threw four touchdown passes and the 20th-ranked Seminoles celebrated the start of a new era with a 59-6 victory Saturday against Bowdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alma mater. Florida State scored 35 points during an 11-minute span of the second quarter, including Greg Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 74-yard punt return touchdown, to build a 42-
0 lead on a sweltering day in north Florida.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jeff Demps had a long scoring run, John Brantley added a fluky touchdown pass late and No. 4 Florida overcame an error-filled game to beat Miami (Ohio) 34-12 Saturday. The Gators (1-0) used four interceptions, several red-zone stops and two late touchdowns to avoid a meltdown. The bigger story was Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anemic offense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the one quarterback John Brantley had hoped to â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep rollingâ&#x20AC;? after waiting three years behind Tim Tebow. There were fumbles, bad snaps, poor throws, several penalties and possibly more frustration in The Swamp than ever before.

Coach Joe Paterno got his 395th career victory by starting a true freshman at quarterback in a season opener for the first time in his 45 years as coach. Brett Brackett caught two touchdowns for the Nittany Lions (1-0). Youngstown State (0-1) took a 7-6 lead in the first half on Dominique Barnesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 80-yard TD reception, but the Nittany Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense stiffened from there while Bolden took control on offense.

Kelly came to South Bend after a successful run at Cincinnati where he led the Bearcats to 12-0 regular season a year ago. His goal was to win immediately and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he did in his first game on a windy, sunny day at Notre Dame Stadium.

Texas (1-0) was stopped on fourth down at the 1-yard line on its first drive and settled for a 51-yard field goal on the second after another stalled drive.

Without necessary orthodontic treatment, people with crowded teeth are at risk for gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss due to the fact that improper teeth positioning makes it more difficult to brush and floss correctly. As a result, the bacteria-laden film known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;plaqueâ&#x20AC;? is far more likely to accumulate on teeth. In fact, this sticky, invisible film continuously forms on teeth, as bacteria thrive on sugars and carbohydrates left on and between teeth after incomplete brushing and flossing. The more plaque that is left behind, which eventually hardens into â&#x20AC;&#x153;tartar,â&#x20AC;? the greater is the likelihood that damage will occur. Orthodontic treatment paves the way for healthier gums and teeth. There are a variety of orthodontic options available for correcting crowding problems and restoring teeth to their healthy and attractive positions. Healthy teeth can be moved with braces at any age. In adults, orthodontics is particularly successful for correcting crowded teeth. For more information on how you or your child can benefit from orthodontic treatment, please contact SANDHILLS ORTHODONTICS today at (919) 718-9188 to make an appointment for a free consultation.

because he was a member of this family.” Before the presentation, Lee County quarterback Carson Wilson shared some words with those in attendance and remembered his favorite football memory of Josh Britt. Wilson, who was playing quarterback for the Sanford Sting on a team with Britt and current Yellow Jacket Cedric Gray, was scrambling in a game against the Durham Screaming Eagles. On the run, one of the Eagles tackled Wilson and then shoved him back to the ground. Then, a young Josh Britt came and supported his quarterback. “He came running all the way from the other side of the field and pushed the guy down,” said an emotional Wilson. “It’s kind of funny, but it’s something I’ll always remember and is one of my favorite football memories with Josh.” Britt’s memory was also honored at Friday night’s Brick City Bowl V between county rivals Southern Lee and Lee County. At Cavalier Stadium, both teams paused for a moment of silence to

played together during their days in Sanford Sting. “This is where it all started,” said Jeff Britt. “Even though both teams are rivals on the field, the kids grew up together and know each other personally. Friendships were formed from both teams. Everything started right here at Sanford Sting. We’re very honored that Southern Lee wanted to honor Josh’s memory.” During the game, Southern Lee quarterback Ashton Gaines wore No. 9 instead of his usual No. 11 as a way for him to honor Josh Britt. Gaines and Britt both played middle linebacker together during their days with the Sanford Sting. “Ashton will never know just how it means to our family that he did that,” said Jeff Britt. “It speaks volumes of him as a person to do something like that.” With the Sanford Sting and Southern Lee High School honoring a beloved fallen student-athlete, the Britt family is so grateful to the entire community for their commitment to honoring Britt. “It just says a lot about this community,” said Jeff Britt. “This entire community is filled with such kind and caring people. I love them all. We’re so blessed to live in a place where people truly care.”
SMI owner Bruton Smith had to make a hard business decision: If he wanted a Cup race at Kentucky, it would have to come at the expense of another of his tracks. Atlanta was the most logical candidate, despite its long, proud Cup history. “There’s no way you’re going to convince me this

everywhere — all the kids and all the parents, like I do now,” McNeill said. “I’ve had a chance to practice the headcoaching deal quite a bit, because I went around to every home, offensively, defensively, special teams-wise, meeting parents and those type of things.” At least partly because of those experiences, he was prepared to take a dream job at his alma mater — the two-time defending conference champions. Hired in January after Skip Holtz left for South Florida, the East Carolina defensive back from the 1970s isn’t worried about any nervousness that might arise in the moments before kickoff because “I’ve been in just about all situations you can be in as a football coach.” But, McNeill added, “I’m sure it’ll be emotional, and I’m looking forward to it, and I’m looking forward to the execution of the game operation. That’s the exciting part of it to me — let’s see who can beat who. I love that

part of the game. But I’ll be excited, I’m sure.” The Pirates will debut their new coach, a newly expanded stadium and a new quarterback against what may have blossomed into a new rivalry. East Carolina has beaten Tulsa twice in the past two years, including a win in the 2008 C-USA championship game, the first of the Pirates’ two straight league titles under Holtz. “We felt like they came in here in ’08 and took it,” Graham said. “I think there’s definitely a healthy respect, and our players know that East Carolina represents the best in our league for the last two years. Our guys are very excited and very motivated, and it has developed into being somewhat of a rivalry for us because they are the team to beat.” Neither team has the luxury of opening with an outmanned opponent from a lower division, and that has given the league opener an added sense of urgency for both sides. “It’s your first game, but it’s also a conference game. It’s a conference game that has a lot of implications,” Graham said.
Labor Day weekend event that Atlanta will be keeping in 2011, isn’t expected to be a sellout. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s necessary,” Kyle Busch said. “When you can’t sell seats, you don’t deserve to go to that race track twice. It’s all about getting butts in the seats.”

VIKINGS WAIVE WALKER, 4 OTHER RECIEVERS MINNEAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Minnesota Vikings are apparently still looking for wide receivers. The Vikings cut 20 players Saturday, including five wide receivers to leave them with just four players at that position for the time being. Recently signed Javon Walker and training camp standout Logan Payne were waived, with Taye Biddle, Freddie Brown and Marquis Hamilton also let go. With Sidney Rice already on the physically unable to perform list for at least the first six weeks of the regular season and Percy Harvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s migraine headaches proving to be an unpredictable problem, the Vikings are in flux with their passing game. Harvin, Bernard Berrian, Greg Camarillo and Greg Lewis were the only wide receivers on the active 53-man roster released by the team Saturday.
PANTHERS CUT TYLER, MOORE AND CANTWELL CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Carolina Panthers have cut defensive tackle Tank Tyler, receiver Kenny Moore and quarterback Hunter Cantwell in a series of moves to get to 53 players for the regular season. Receiver Trent Guy and seventh-round pick R.J. Stanford were also let go on Saturday. The Panthers placed guard Duke Robinson, special-teamer Aaron Francisco and offensive linemen C.J. Davis on injured reserve. Tyler was perhaps the biggest surprise. Acquired last year from Kansas City for a fifth-round pick, Tyler came into training camp expected to be a starter after Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offseason overhaul of the defensive line. But he was outplayed by Derek Landri and others in the preseason. Cantwell was let go after Carolina decided on Tony Pike as their No. 3 quarterback.
FEDERER TALKS about NADAL and history NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roger Federer remembers how it felt when he was trying to complete the career Grand Slam, when every trip to Roland Garros was more than merely big, but a chance to make history. In other words, he remembers what it felt like to go through what his rival, Rafael Nadal, is going through for a second straight year in New York. After Federerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s windblown-but-routine 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Paul-Henri Mathieu at the U.S. Open on Saturday, attention turned to the bigger picture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federer, Nadal and their places in tennis history. Federer finally won the French Open in 2009, making him the sixth man to win all four major titles. Before that, he lost in the final at Roland Garros in 2006, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;07 and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;08. Nadal, who has never been to the final at the U.S. Open, won his first Australian Open title in 2009. Now, he needs to win it all at the U.S. Open to cap his career Grand Slam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somewhat similar,â&#x20AC;? Federer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I won the other three Grand Slams rather quickly, as well, like he did.â&#x20AC;?

Your numbers are 9, 12, 23, 27, 29, 33, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need a physical challenge that will open your mind to greater possibilities. A passionate relationship that has been kept a secret will be revealed. Your openness will prove enlightening for someone struggling with his or her own identity.

Good things will come to you if you volunteer your services. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll feel the need to bring memories to the surface and address issues from the past that still haunt you. Now is the time to make amends, fix what needs fixing and move on without regret. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let love get you down or take you on a rollercoaster ride. Be upfront. Once you establish your position, it will be easier to maintain a good relationship, allowing you to be passionate without worrying about where things are heading. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take responsibility
WORD JUMBLE

Completion will be your ticket to success and procrastination your downfall. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t waste time on people who don’t get you or what you are all about. You have to be true to yourself. Let go of who and what no longer works for you so that you can establish new, workable relationships and goals. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A connection to someone who has as much to win or lose as you do will help you realize what’s important. Learn from others’ mistakes. Your ability to bring your talent to the attention of those who can utilize what you have to offer will count. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Listen for a change and you will realize something that you’ve missed in the past. Compassion, understanding and offering your services to others will be your way in the door. Stop taking; start sharing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Look at financial possibilities to discover ways you can get rid of debt. Don’t sell yourself short by giving away what you know for free.

There is money to be made and opportunities that will help you stabilize your life personally and professionally. Don’t be afraid to express your feelings with a partner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A partnership that will enable you to further your interests is in the picture. Don’t walk away from an opportunity because you want more than your fair share. Money spent to enhance what you have to offer will be worth it and will show your devotion to the project.
DEAR ABBY: My fiance and I are preparing for our wedding next spring. This is the first marriage for both of us. We are wellestablished in our careers and have a nice house with everything we need in it. Abby, my fiance and I lost our fathers to cancer within the last few years. One of our biggest regrets is that we never got to meet each other’s father, and they won’t be at our wedding with everyone else we love. Is there a polite way to ask our guests to donate to the American Cancer Society, their local hospice or a charity of their choice, instead of buying us things we don’t need? It would mean far more to us knowing that some other dad who might have been lost to cancer will be able to walk his daughter down the aisle on her special day. — SPRING 2011 BRIDE DEAR SPRING 2011 BRIDE: While I commend you for wanting to help others whose lives have been touched by cancer, what you have in mind must be done “delicately” so no rules of etiquette are broken. No mention of gifts (or money) should be made on (or accompany) your wedding invitations. However, it is customary for those who plan to attend to inquire
Abigail Van Buren Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
about where the couple is registered or what they might need. At that point, it’s permissible to say (verbally) that a donation to the American Cancer Society or to hospice, etc., would be appreciated for the reasons you stated in your letter. And one more thought: Although your fathers-in-law died before you could meet them, please don’t think they won’t be at your celebration. Because they are in your hearts, they will not only be present at your wedding, they’ll be with you always. o DEAR ABBY: About a year ago I was in the process of separating from my husband. I started looking for a place of my own, but after
I found one, my husband said he wanted to “work things out.” While we were separated we slept in different rooms. During this time I met another man, “Craig.” He knew I was married and I told him about the situation with my husband. Craig and I have not been intimate or even kissed. We have carried on inappropriate conversations via phone, e-mail and texting, and we have sent each other pictures through e-mail. My husband and I have now reconciled, but I have been stringing Craig along on the chance that, if my marriage doesn’t work out, he’ll be there. I feel guilty about this. Is what Craig and I have done considered a form of cheating? What should I do? — HEDGING MY BETS IN CALIFORNIA DEAR HEDGING: Of course it’s a form of cheating! You know that on some level or you wouldn’t be feeling guilty. If you really want your marriage to work, you’ll stop hedging your bets and devote yourself fully to it. You’ll also level with Craig, tell him you and your husband have reconciled, ask him not to call you again and delete his texts and e-mails. If you don’t, your husband could find them and your marriage WILL be over.

Montana teen accidentally texts sheriff to buy pot
Mich. man gathering corn confronted by alligator
HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- General rule of thumb: when looking to buy marijuana, don’t text the sheriff. Authorities said a Helena teen hit a wrong number and inadvertently sent a message to Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton, saying “Hey Dawg, do you have a $20 I can buy right now?” A detective pretending to be the dealer organized a meeting at a time when the boy knew he and another teen would be at a particular store. The detective spotted two teenage boys and one of the boy’s fathers — who was unaware of what was going on — at the store. He called the phone number three times to make sure he had the right person. Dutton said when the detective showed the teens his badge, one of the boys fainted. No citations were issued after the parents of the boys, who were 15 and 16, got involved.
BURR OAK, Mich. (AP) -- A man gathering sweet corn in southern Michigan is the latest to have an unexpected encounter with an alligator. The animals have been showing up far north of their traditional habitats this summer. Jeff Adamski of Burr Oak said he was picking corn near the Michigan-Indiana border when two women who were a few rows over came running and screaming, saying they had seen an alligator. Adamski told the Sturgis Journal that the alligator darted toward him and kept coming as he backed away. Adamski moved faster, but then he began to worry about a child being attacked by the nearly 3-foot reptile. He grabbed a 4-foot bar from his truck and killed it. Alligators also have been seen in recent weeks in the Chicago River, a Boston suburb and New York City.
Police: Pa. woman zaps self, brother with stun gun NORTH EAST, Pa. (AP) -- Police said an Eriearea woman somehow managed to zap both herself and her brother with a stun gun during a drunken dispute. Darlene Newara, 45, will have a hearing Oct. 18 on charges including driving under the influence, disorderly conduct for fighting, and public drunkenness in the Aug. 8 incident. State police said they responded to a disturbance outside an Erie-area store about 6 p.m. to find that Newara had been arguing with her brother and stunned him with the device, then accidentally shocked herself with it. Police said she was intoxicated and had several unopened bottles of liquor in the vehicle with her three sons, who were not hurt. The Associated Press could not immediately locate a listed phone for Newara.

Nevada candidate touts speedy fix to budget crisis CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- One Nevada gubernatorial hopeful sees a speedy fix to Nevada’s budget crisis. Nonpartisan candidate Eugene “Gino” DiSimone believes people would pay for the privilege to drive up to 90 mph on designated highways - and fill the state’s depleted coffers. DiSimone calls his idea the “free limit plan.” He estimates the plan would bring in $1 billion a year. First, vehicles would have to pass a safety inspection. Then vehicle information would be loaded into a database, and motorists would purchase a transponder. After setting up an account, anyone in a hurry could dial in, and for $25 charged to a credit card, be free to speed for 24 hours. The Nevada Highway Patrol isn’t keen on the idea, saying it would lead to increased injuries and traffic deaths. See answer, page 2A

Only Christ can meet our needs Q: Do you think it’s harder to be a young person today than it used to be, maybe a generation or two ago? My grandchildren seem to have so many problems and temptations that I never had to face, and I worry about what’s going to happen to them. -- Mrs. M.H. A: Yes, in some ways I believe it is harder for young people today than it was a generation or so ago. For example, every day they’re bombarded with messages from the media that mock traditional moral values and urge them to live only for themselves. They also face temptations we seldom knew, such as illicit drugs. All of this is having a devastating effect on many young people, and on our future. When we cast off the moral values that have guided our society for centuries, what are we left with? We’re left with a world in which everyone lives only for the moment, and only for themselves. I’m reminded of the prophet Hosea’s words concerning his own generation: “They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind” (Hosea 8:7). Only a spiritual awakening can save us. But in other ways the world has not changed, and neither has the hunger of the human heart for God. In fact, many young people today -- dissatisfied with the emptiness of so much of what they see around them -- are coming to Christ through our ministry. This summer, my son Franklin has been holding a special series of meetings (called “Rock the River”) focused on young people -- with an amazing response. Pray for your grandchildren, and pray too for their parents. Only Christ can meet the deepest needs of our hearts, no matter how young or old we are.

Do we need some incentives?
O
ver the past few years, the debate has raged about corporate incentives and whether they are good or not and whether local and state governments should be involved or not. Do they help communities or are we merely helping big corporations? Are we, as taxpayers, the biggest losers? Or are they and can they be beneficial to Lee County? When you buy a home, a car, a TV, do you buy it at the first store you walk into? Probably not. On big ticket items, you compare prices, shop the internet, and ask for discounts. Life would be much simpler for me if every one of you would simply make a full price offer for every home, and ask for nothing. Why don’t you? You don’t because you want the best value for your money. Large corporations want the same thing. In fact, employees of a corporation owned by stockholders are obligated to get them value for their investment. If you own stocks, or a 401(K) or IRA or 529 college savings plan, you want that, because when the company makes money, you should make money. So, large corporations shop everything. They want the best value in equipment, employees, and loan rates from banks. If they need water, they look for a town with a lot of water and great rates. A corporation looks at location for distribution, because shipping can be expensive. A company needs to know which utility company is supplying electricity and how much it is going to cost. And in today’s climate, they want the best short term and long term tax rates they can get. Those who are against giving incentives would argue that lowering the tax rate is a better and fairer solution. But tax incentives have occurred for a long time. If you have a “working” farm, you get a property tax break for being a farmer. Some people are truly farmers and generate the bulk of their income from farming. Some farm enough to qualify for the tax incentive, but derive their primary incomes from something else. Some people have timber farms. They all qualify for a property tax break from the county. I’m not saying that we should do away with these, I’m merely pointing out that tax breaks and incentives are a tricky and slippery slope. The person that

Sandra Reynolds and co-workers exercise at Trio Clinical Research in Raleigh with Ben Roberts of Foundation Fitness
Personal fitness trainer issues a challenge to NC workplaces By MARY CORNATZER An AP Member Exchange
RALEIGH — We’re fat and lazy in North Carolina - at least that’s what two new studies claim. The Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently ranked the state 10th in the nation in obesity, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just reported that one in four North Carolinians had not exercised in the past month. That translates into a ranking of fourth in the nation for inactivity. Blame the heat, blame air conditioning, blame our move away from agriculture and factory work to cushy sit-onour-butts office jobs. Blame the office bakers and Southern cooking. You can spend all day blaming and complaining, or you could do something about it. Ben Roberts, owner of Foundation Fitness in Greensboro, decided to do something. He teamed up with Strategic Employee Benefit Services, which provides employee benefits, to issue a workplace fitness challenge, and he offered to bring his fitness regime to 1,000 Tar Heels in the Triad and the Triangle in one week. “I hear ‘I don’t have time in the morning’ and ‘I don’t have time in the evening,’ “ Roberts said. “Or they’ll get frustrated because they’ll go to the gym and don’t know what to do.

Ben Roberts teamed up with Strategic Employee Benefit Services, which provides employee benefits, to issue a workplace fitness challenge, and he offered to bring his fitness regime to 1,000 Tar Heels in the Triad and the Triangle in one week. Just because you go to the gym doesn’t mean you’re going to get a workout in.” Roberts spent most of last week on the road between Greensboro and Raleigh. By the end of Wednesday, he had met and exercised with 300 workers.
His goal was to show people that in just 15 minutes it’s possible to get your heart pumping and start on a path toward a lifestyle change. And that’s what he’s after: a permanent change toward exercise and healthy eating.
The benefits for workers: better health, better sleep, less stress. The benefits for companies: lower absenteeism, higher productivity, less turnover. Larger companies in the Triangle rather famously offer a variety of such health and wellness benefits. Cisco, for example, has a state-of-the art gym for employees. SAS has the gym and a company cafeteria that offers healthy lunches. Others such as IBM offer cash incentives for employees to lose weight or stop smoking. Some smaller and midsize companies may think they don’t have the space or money to offer fitness programs for their workers, but Leah Taylor, wellness coordinator for Strategic Employee Benefit Services, said that there are many things smaller employers can do. She works with companies in the Triangle and the Triad and said many of them don’t have a budget for fitness but still manage to make it a priority. “We can have nurses come on site and do cholesterol and blood sugar checks,” she said. “We have health and wellness newsletters with healthy recipes and fitness tips they can use. A lot of small groups have started walking programs. “My role is to educate and make clients aware of what a wellness program can be,” she

Chamber Chat
Celebrating our workforce on Labor Day
O Bob Joyce Bob Joyce is President of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce.
n Monday, most businesses including the Chamber, will celebrate the Labor Day holiday. Since 1894, our country has set aside this day to honor hardworking Americans who perform every job from fixing your car to managing your money to teaching your children to caring for you when you’re sick. On June 28, 1894, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.
By our toil and effort, the United States has achieved the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy.
It is appropriate that our nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the source of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom, and leadership — the American worker. Here are a few facts about our nation’s workforce: Over 154.4 million people, 16 and older, are employed in the nation’s labor force as of May of this year. (The Lee County labor force is 26,695.)

64 are covered by health insurance by their employer. Over three quarters of workers in private industry receive a paid vacation as one of their employment benefits. Many people hold down more than one job. So-called moonlighters comprise 5 percent of the working population — about 7 million workers. Of these, 4 million work full time at their primary job and part time at their other job. About 10 million people are self-employed workers. Our workforce today
ees were even joined by family members for 15 minutes of jumping jacks, squats, lunges and the like. Now the company is planning to keep the momentum going. “The rest of the week it’s been the topic of conversation,” Flynn said. “People are walking through the hallway, and they’ll stop and do a squat. Other are saying, ‘My muscles still hurt.’ “
Flynn said company leaders are still discussing what kind of exercise program to offer. It may be as simple as encouraging workers to take a 10-minute break for some warm-ups and jumping jacks or a more formal exercise time at the end of the day. “They taught us exercises that anyone can do anywhere, and that’s what was nice about it,” he said. “You don’t need a gym; you can stand at
your desk.” Flynn said there was no doubt that the exercising would continue. He pointed out that many of their workers are doing strenuous work, unloading trucks, setting up tables, standing on their feet for hours at a time while carrying large trays. Helping those workers stay fit and healthy should be part of the company’s benefits, he said.
is much more likely to change jobs than any previous generation. Workers today average only 4.1 years of service with their current employer. About 10 percent of those employed have been with their current employer for 20 or more years. Almost 6 million people work at home. Our median household income level is the second highest in the world behind Switzerland. In 2008, the real median annual earnings for male workers is $46,367 and $35,745 for female full-time, yearround workers. Computer software and technical jobs have grown faster than any other occupation in the past ten years.
The occupation expected to add more positions over the next ten years is registered nurses (587,000 new jobs). Over three quarters of workers drive alone to work. Another 11 percent carpool and only 5 percent take public transportation (excluding taxicabs). Nationwide, the average commute (one way) is 25.5 minutes. New York and Maryland had the most time-consuming commutes, averaging 31.5 minutes. Three and one half million Americans commute over 90 minutes to work each day. What about people who don’t work? Of the estimated 227 million people 15 years and older who live in the United States, nearly 79 million (35 percent) had not worked at a paid job for at least the prior 4 consecutive months. Their main reasons for
not working are: retirement (38 percent) and school attendance (19 percent). Chronic illness or disability was the main reason for about 15 percent of non-workers. Taking care of children or others accounted for 13 percent. Around 6 percent cited an economic reason for not working – layoff, unable to find work, temporary illness or injury. The remaining 7 percent either were not interested in working or reported an “other” reason. (The last time this study was completed was in 2005…the percentages would be somewhat different in today’s economy.) Business owners and managers (who are laborers, too) should be especially proud on Labor Day of what they have created for the rest of us. Having a fulfilling job is a daily blessing.

Celebrate Grandparents Day by Investing in Your Grandchildren’s Future National Grandparents Day is Sept. 12. If you’re a grandparent, this day is meant to honor you, but you can also celebrate by investing in your grandchildren’s future. Of course, much of their future success may depend on their ability to receive a college education, but college is expensive. In fact, according to the College Board, for the 2009-2010 school year, the average cost (tuition, fees, room and board) for an in-state student for one year at a public, four-year school was more than $15,000, while a student at a private, four-year school paid, on average, more than $35,000. Furthermore, in recent years, college costs have risen considerably faster than the general inflation rate, so if your grandchildren are still quite young, their college bills may easily eclipse the numbers shown above. Fortunately, if you want to help your grandchildren pay for college, you have some good savings vehicles to choose from, including the following: s 529 savings plan - A 529 savings plan allows you to put money in specific investments, managed by an investment professional. You can gift $13,000 per year to each grandchild without incurring gift taxes. All withdrawals from a 529
savings plan will be free from federal income taxes, as long as the money is used for the beneficiary’s qualified college or graduate school expenses. (Withdrawals for expenses other than qualified education expenditures may be subject to federal and state taxes, plus a 10% penalty.) Also, if you participate in your own state’s 529 savings plan, your contributions may be eligible for a state tax deduction or credit. s Coverdell Education Savings Account - Depending on your income level, you can contribute up to $2,000 annually to a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA). (Unless extended by new legislation, however, this contribution limit will fall to $500 per year, beginning in 2011.) Coverdell earnings and withdrawals are tax-free, provided the beneficiary uses the money for qualified education expenses. Any nonqualified withdrawals from a Coverdell ESA may be subject to federal and state taxes, plus a 10% penalty.
s Zero coupon bonds - When you purchase a zero coupon bond, it is priced at a discount to its principal, or face, value. You receive the principal value when the bond matures. You could purchase a zero coupon bond that matures when your grandchild is ready to go to college and you’ll know exactly how much you’ll be getting. Although you won’t be receiving regular interest payments throughout the life of the zero coupon bond, as you would for a typical bond, you’ll still be liable for the taxes on this interest. But by putting the bond in your grandchild’s name, the interest will be taxable at his or her tax rate, which will likely be much lower than yours. Before purchasing or titling a zero coupon bond, though, consult with your tax advisor. By making any of these gifts to your grandchildren, you will remind them, once again, of how lucky they are to have grandparents, which is, after all, the true meaning of Grandparents Day.

it benefits wants them and wants to keep them. We give farmers a break to encourage farming to occur in our county. As a county, we perceive that it is a benefit to have farming. If it isn’t, then we should do away with the tax break. Is it that different with large corporations??? When the federal government sent a rebate of about $800 to almost every family a few years ago, did any of you send it back? Was the federal government already running a huge deficit? Did it create any jobs or lower unemployment? Could any of those statistics be measured quantitatively? Now that was a bad incentive, yet very few people complained about it when the check arrived. It was suggested in a meeting a few weeks ago that the county should not have given Caterpillar $900,000 as a tax incentive, and based on a population of 50,000 that the incentive cost each resident of Lee County $18 to create 300 jobs. The question I pose: Is that a good investment? Is that too much to pay? Do we have recourse if it doesn’t happen? Is Caterpillar accountable if it does not meet its obligations? How much new tax will be generated by Caterpillar building an additional facility? Does the payback exceed the value spent?? That is how we should look at incentives and what our government employees and elected officials should be accountable to oversee. Lee County has a workforce of about 25,000 people. So if unemployment is 12%, that would mean that about 3,000 people who need a job don’t have one. Many of those people are drawing unemployment. So, if we create jobs, we lower unemployment payouts. If you are one of the 3,000 people without a job, would you pay $18 one time to have a job? If we can reduce the unemployment by 1.2% for $18 per county resident, if we could do that 10 more times, would it be worth $180 per resident to eliminate unemployment totally? Of course this
can’t happen, but I use it to again ask the question of worth. Large companies have medical plans, so maybe we lower the county’s cost to provide health care; $180 to lower poverty levels, and fewer food stamps and free school lunches. What is the value of that? Lower unemployment ought to mean we could have fewer people work for the employment security office, right? If people are employed, the cost of maintaining social programs should diminish. The problem with government incentives may not be the incentive at all. The problem is that by doing so we should be able to reduce the other costs of government, and we fail to do so. Not every incentive is good for a community, and our local governments should only make an offer that is in the best interest of the citizens. A county and state CAN pay too much and the payback can be too long. If the county, however, can spend $18 per resident to assure 300 jobs, that’s 6 PENNIES per job per resident. That’s not annually; for those jobs it’s a one time thing. In the current economic climate, I think that’s a pretty good deal for those of us in Lee County. The reality is that a tax incentive is a rebate to a corporation, it is a discount to the company in exchange for jobs and adding property tax base to the county; and the payback is in the building of a structure, the installation of equipment and the hiring of employees. It’s putting money back in the hands of people (and companies) that create jobs and taking it out of the hands of government. Sounds like a pretty efficient, conservative principal to me. I just hope someone with a new job needs a new home, too.

Losing life to give life “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. John 12:25

was speaking to a young man on the college campus I attended and was asking him why he was enrolled in the university. He said “to get a good education.” I asked him why he wanted a good education and he said “to get a good job.” I then asked him several more “why” questions and he finally admitted that the purpose of his enrollment was to be happy. Happiness was his goal in life. Most of us, if we were totally honest, would admit to a similar goal. Although happiness or contentment can be selfishly motivated it is not an unbiblical goal. Jesus Himself said that He came that we “might have life and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

Garden program grows Extension center’s community garden sprouts 9 others By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — The goal of gardening is to grow a bounty of fresh produce, and if fellowship takes root, too — all the better. According to Mike Stone, agent with North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Lee County Center, both are growing in Sanford’s community gardens. In addition to a garden at the Lee Center, nine satellite gardens are flourishing around the city. The gardens are a project of the Extension, and most have been cultivated since the spring. “We wanted to let people know there are so many more facets of gardening than putting a seed in the ground and watching it grow,” Stone said.
Stephanie Romelczyk (left) and Bill Stone (right) of the N.C. Cooperative Extension Lee County Center, pose in front of The Satellite Garden Project, with funding from the local Lee County 4-H program earlier this week. “It’s a way to meet with neighbors, a way to eat healthier.” Stone said the gardens originated from another program called Eat Smart, Move More
— an outreach emphasizing healthier eating habits and increased physical activity. As part of that program, local fifth graders grew their own “con-

Youngsters get international dose of education FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — At Cumberland County’s newest elementary school, the classroom rugs are adorned with world maps. A first-grade teacher from New Zealand is decorating her room with koala and kangaroo pictures. Another teacher plans to use tai chi to blend math lessons with Asian culture. And all 650 children at the west Fayetteville school will learn Mandarin Chinese. New Century International Elementary is the latest example of Cumberland County’s push toward a more global education. Whereas their parents may have taken a couple of years of Spanish in high school, some children

eep down in nearly every life there are disappointments of one kind or another. If you have not ever had a huge disappointment, the time will come when it will happen. No one is immune to disappointments — literally no one. Even the most successful among us have dreams that are never realized, and things for which we hope that never come true. What do you do when you are confronted with rejection or failure, when a door you wanted to enter is closed in your face? Will you let it totally defeat you? Or will you find the strength to keep on going? Handling disappointments is not easy. Even so, if we do not learn how to do that, eventually every single day will become
tainer veggie gardens” and the community garden was established at the Lee Center. The satellite gardens were made possible through grant funding, provided by the United Way of Lee County, Environmental Impact Resource Conservation and Development, and the USDA/Natural Resource Conservation Service. Horticulture agent Stephanie Romelczyk said the Extension held workshops for those who’d shown interest in starting a community garden, “and from those workshops, we were able to get most of our satellite sites.” “Community gardens are a hot topic right now anyway,” Romelczyk said, “and I think word of mouth really helped get this project going.”

Brainwashing our child to root for the LSU Tigers
Who should have won best drama series at Emmys
(Published Thursday) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big weekend for the Liggett household, and not just because it marks the beginning of football season for us. Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partially because of that. Saturday, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading to the Georgia Dome to watch the LSU Tigers in their Liggett season
(Published on Emmy Day) The past few years I just havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to get into the Emmys. They frequently award the same people or shows year after year, leading to an overly long and unintersting ceremony. But for the first time in a long time, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nominees actually piqued my interest, Milan with a few familiar faces and lots of new ones. The 2010 ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Fallon, is just a few days away, so who will walk home a winner and who will leave empty handed?
opener. What will make it special for us is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be taking on our adopted team in the east â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the UNC Tar Heels. Yes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Tar Heel fans, but that allegiance comes nowhere near the LSU allegiance in our family (I became an LSU fan after meeting Jennifer since I had no real â&#x20AC;&#x153;allegiancesâ&#x20AC;? on the college level). And in preparing Hayley (whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be 11 months old on Game Day), weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sort of brainwashed her. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have an LSU Tigers dress on. We burned a CD full of LSU fight songs and school songs. Jenniferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even taught her the sound a Tiger makes. Yes, UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slightly favored, and yes, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance (tiny chance) LSU could lose it. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really all secondary (to me, anyway). Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be taking in college football and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing so with Jenniferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be driving to the Peach State from south Louisiana.

Will win: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad Men.â&#x20AC;? The AMC drama is an Emmy favorite, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely to change this year. Should win: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lost.â&#x20AC;? Sure, the sci-fi dramaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final season had its weak spots, but overall it was a stellar end to what is possibly televisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most original show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? was such an intelligent, mind-bending and emotional show, and try as they might with shows like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flash Forwardâ&#x20AC;? and the upcoming â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Event,â&#x20AC;? the networks will never be able to replicate it. An Emmy for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? this year would be just as much about awarding the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall excellence as recognizing its finale. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; alexafilm.blogspot.com/

Apple unveils box for streaming movies, TV SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Apple Inc. announced a smaller, cheaper version of its Apple TV device for streaming movies and television shows over the Internet and into the living room. It also unveiled a new line of iPods, including a touch-screen Nano model. The tiny new Apple TV system announced Wednesday will only let people rent, not buy, content. For first-run high-definition movies the day they come out on DVD, people will have to pay $4.99. High-definition TV show rentals will be 99 cents. The price of the box is also being cut to $99, from $229. Cheaper options for streaming video had been available, including Rokuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set-top boxes that start at $60. Apple TV has been around since 2007, but it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t caught on with the mainstream. For one thing, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t record shows the way TiVo and other digital video recorders do. And the need to sync the box with a computer was too complicated for most consumers, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sold a lot of them, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been a huge hit,â&#x20AC;? Jobs said. The new Apple TV, which will be available within a month, will give people access to the high-definition version of top movies, though Jobs didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say which movie studios have agreed to include their titles for streaming. Television episodes also be avail-
able, including such hits as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Simpsonsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glee.â&#x20AC;? People who watch content from Netflix Inc. streamed over the Internet can also access their â&#x20AC;&#x153;instantâ&#x20AC;? queue through Apple TV. Apple is offering rentals from News Corp.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fox, The Walt Disney Co.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ABC, ABC Family and Disney Channel and BBC America. Jobs said he hoped other television companies would join once the service gains popularity. Some media companies have raised concerns that the 99-cent television rentals would undercut higher-priced offerings for permanent download, which sell for $1.99 and $2.99. Earlier, Jobs unveiled a buttonless touch-screen iPod Nano that people control with swipes across the screen instead of with buttons. It will cost $149 for the 8 gigabyte version and $179 for 16 gigabytes. Like previous versions, the Nano has a built-in FM tuner and can display photos. Apple also updated the iPod Touch, adding videochat features similar to the newest iPhone. It has a front-facing camera for conducting video calls with other iPod Touch and iPhone users over WiFi using Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FaceTime program. A camera on the back can be used for taking snapshots and recording video. Prices range from $229 to $399. Jobs hosted the event for hundreds of journalists, bloggers and analysts

Wednesday in a black crew neck top rather than his trademark mock turtleneck. There, Jobs also showed off a new iPod Shuffle, the smallest, least expensive music player in Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line. Like the most recent Shuffle, the new one can speak the names of playlists and songs. But Apple backtracked from its last design, which did away with physical buttons on the music player. The new $49 device brings back the square shape and buttons of Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-generation Shuffle. Apple gave its iTunes software a minor makeover, too, and added some social features to help people discover new music and tap into what friends are listening to. The feature, called Ping, is likely based on the technology Apple acquired with the purchase of Lala. com last year. The Ping section in iTunes 10 lets people â&#x20AC;&#x153;followâ&#x20AC;? friends, musicians and others, and see such details as what music theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying and what concerts theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attending. The information will come in a long stream of updates, similar to the way Facebook and Twitter work. Apple announced additional updates to the software that runs iPhones, the iPod Touch and the iPad. Next week, iPhone and iPod Touch users can download a free new version, iOS 4.1, that offers the ability to upload high-definition video over Wi-Fi. And when people take photos, the new software will save three slightly different copies that, when combined, make for a sharper image.
News app lets you choose your editor
NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Most of the articles that show up in your newspaper or magazine are chosen by professional editors. What if they are picked out by a friend from college instead? Or a colleague from work? Or your mom? Anyone you know, really? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the concept behind Flipboard, a new application for Apple Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mega-selling iPad. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a marriage of the new media ethos that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all become news editors for our online contacts and the traditional mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent for packaging the news in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inviting and cohesive. Flipboard takes the random links that accumulate on your Facebook or Twitter account â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plus your friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; personal status updates and tweets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and makes something like a digital magazine out of them. Blurbs of text and photos recommended by friends become fodder for a continuously updated collage of content. You can also add sections to your magazine compiled from the tweets of just one contact or a specific publication â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Spin magazine, say, or The Huffington Post.
India BlackBerry ban averted for 60 more days MUMBAI, India (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; India said it withdrew a threat this week to ban BlackBerry services for at least two more months after the deviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maker, Research In Motion Ltd., agreed to give security officials â&#x20AC;&#x153;lawful accessâ&#x20AC;? to encrypted data. The Ministry of Home Affairs, which wants real time access to encrypted corporate e-mails and instant messaging, said in a statement it would review RIMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security proposals over the next 60 days after the Department of Telecommunications studies the feasibility of routing BlackBerry services through a server in India.

Impossible to sit, stand, walk... It was all I could do to get in my car to get to the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce. During my ďŹ rst exam, my range of motion was VERY limited! It was almost impossible to sit, stand, walk or even breathe! After examining my x-rays, we started treatment. After a mild adjustment on my neck, by that afternoon, I could see improvement. The next few days, my pain decreased drastically! As each visit passed, my pain was less and less. I truly believe in chiropractic care and would recommend it to anyone suffering from back pain as I did. Thanks Dr. Ammons & Dr. Silvester! April Rosser

a hill almost too high to climb. You have had some disappointments, haven’t you? Of course you have. We all have. Dr. Charles L. Allen, in “All Things Are Possible through Prayer,” said, “The best thing I have heard about disappointment is this: ‘I have learned to turn disappointments into His (God’s) appointments.’” That doesn’t mean that in the face of tragedy we should piously fold our hands and say, “It is the will of God, so I must grin and bear it.” It is possible that your disappointment is the will of God. If so, God could be trying to get your attention. The apostle Paul had numerous disappointments. There were times he might have thrown up his hands in total defeat. Instead, he said, “... having done all to stand,” (Ephesians 6:13). Notice that he did not say, “And having done all, I decided to throw my hands up and quit.” He decided to “stand! God will never lead those who trust Him to a dead end. He may change our direction, and He often does, but there will always be an open road before us. That newly opened road will always be in the center of His will for our lives. For example, a boy who
Bible Continued from Page 1C
Contentment, personal peace, joy, fulfillment, are all goals that God has for you; the question is, how do you go about obtaining them? When Jesus spoke the words of today’s passage He was speaking about His soon coming ordeal on the cross. In v.27 He says that He came into the world for the very purpose of suffering and dying, even though He was troubled about the trial ahead. The Lord was fully aware of the anguish of heart and soul that awaited Him yet He would suffer and die for us because it was His Father’s will and His own desire that we live forever with Him. Jesus told His disciples that “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and lay down His life a ransom for many.” For Christ Jesus, living was dying. His purpose was
lived in Decatur, Ill. several years ago was deeply interested in photography. He carefully saved his money to buy a certain book and happily he ordered it. The publisher, however, made a mistake in his order and sent him a book on ventriloquism. The boy was not interested in ventriloquism. In fact, he did not even know what it was. He had no idea he could send the book back. Besides, he probably did not have the money for the postage. He could have put the book aside and nursed his disappointment. Instead, he began reading it and he became interested. He learned to throw his voice and eventually got a wooden dummy which he named Charlie McCarthy. Out of a huge disappointment Edgar Bergen built a successful career. Paul dreamed of one day going to Spain. Instead, he landed in a Roman prison. He might have cried out against God or folded his hands in despair. Instead, while in prison, he wrote some of his very finest epistles to the early churches. Through the centuries that have followed, these epistles have spoken God’s Word to Christians. Are there disappointments in your life? You don’t have to let them defeat you. Why not let God turn your disappointment into His appointment?
not to gain happiness and peace but to obtain it for us. He lived for everyone else and not for Himself. And, He asks everyone who follows Him to do the same (see v.26). The Bible is replete with such paradoxes. Read through its teachings and you will find that you must die to live; give to receive; serve to be free and lose your life to gain it. The richest person is the one who gives it all away. The most successful person is the one who makes the most people succeed. The happiest man is the one who seeks not his own happiness but only the happiness of others. The Bible speaks of losing your life to gain it. Are you giving away your life or holding onto it? Are you hoarding your possessions or helping others with them? Are you following Christ’s example of sacrifice or the world’s model of selfishness? If you want to really live…GIVE.

Kiwanis Club of Lee County
President Matt Jackson presided over the monthly business meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Lee County held at Davison’s Steaks on Aug. 25. The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was led by Gwyn Maples and the invocation was given by Jackson. The project
fund tickets were sold by John Payne and Jan Brooks was the winner. Happy Dollars came from Brooks, Gwyn Maples, Linda Moore, Ron Minter and Sally Porter. President Jackson told the membership that the Terrific Kids supplies had been ordered for the upcoming school year. Susan Campbell reminded everyone that Head Start reading would start again now that school was back in session. David Caplan reminded everyone of the Character Counts Project training at the Ag Center on Sept. 7, and that he would be looking for volunteers to help. Duties were also assigned and additional tickets were distributed for the Kiwanis Pancake Supper that will be Friday night, Sept. 3, at Southern Lee High prior to the game that night between Southern Lee and Lee County. The tickets are $5 and the supper will run from 5 to 7:30 p.m. A called meeting of the board of directors for the club concluded the meeting.

Lee County Genealogical and Historical Society The Lee County Genealogical and Historical Society met Aug. 24 at the Common Threads Studio on Carthage Street. Chris Altenburger led the group on a tour and described the work being done on each loom. Six people weave there regularly and the placemats, baby blankets, tote bags, handbags, scarves, etc. that they weave are on sale there. In 2003, Carol Carlson and one weaver started the studio as a means of raising money to distribute to worthy causes in Lee County. It is under the non-profit group “Willing Hands,” which also sponsors the No-Scare Fair for children at Halloween. A very popular item is the recyclable tote bag to carry groceries, etc., home in from the store. They are woven from plastic bags from stores and no two are alike. The donated bags are cut up in strips by two volunteers from Center for Independent Living. There is a need for used bags and people to sew them up. Common Threads also receives donated yarn, fabric and strong carpet thread, which they take off of cardboard spools before the spools are given to the Horner Boulevard recycling facility. The Society’s next meeting will be at 3 p.m. Sept. 25 at Edwin Patterson’s Tar Kiln Village, off U.S. 421, south of Broadway. At Ken’s Lamp Shop in Seminole look for a gravel drive on the left and a “History Tour” sign. Cool water and drinks provided but no bathroom facilities. See www. pattersonhistoryproject. com.

The Sanford Women’s League had a Luau theme for its August meeting. At the meeting returning members welcomed prospective new members. Pictured are members and prospective new members (front row, from left) Becky Podlogar, Karen Walker, Marsha Brockney, Katrina Newnum and Kristi Miller; (back row, from left) Angie Raley, Rebecca Wyhof, Bianka Stumpf, Erin Schamel, Crissy Miller, Krystle Walton and Melanie Schmitz. for the BreadBasket on Sept. 10th. Ralph Upton wanted teams for the CCCC golf tournament Sept. 22, and Larry Aiken asked for support for the J. Glenn Edwards School character program, with the time switching to Tuesday mornings. Aiken began the brags with one on his 49th wedding anniversary; Bullard bragged on her son’s making it through the first day of school even though his transportation didn’t cooperate — an expensive parking space going empty due to a recalcitrant truck. President David then inducted our newest member, Kevin Umstead of Fidelity Bank, a prior Rotarian in Cary, married with two sons (UNC grad and junior) and one daughter (in high school). Howard Bokhoven gave the stock report. Ed Terry won the raffle, and donated his winnings toward fees for reinstating our Rotaract chapter. Bill Stone of N.C. Cooperative Extension brought our program for the day. Born in Alabama, he graduated from UNC-G with a B. A. in history, then received his Masters in Youth Education from NCSU, and is now pursuing a Ph.D. He
has been working with 4-H in Lee County for 10 years, and gave us an update on their many activities locally. The mission of 4-H is to bring research information to all the counties of North Carolina through local offices; he mentioned other staff in Lee County and their areas of work, and then gave us details of his area which is youth development. There are 12 4-H clubs locally, open to kids from 5 to 18 years of age. Each has a special focus, is volunteer driven with trained leaders, and meets 1-2 times monthly. Other programs include public speaking, with the district competition held in Lee County this year, and with us having the largest number of presenters of any county in the district with 33. Of these, 14 advanced to state finals, with two gold, four silver and four bronze winners. A Summer Fun program had day camps for three to four days on various topics such a CPR, self defense, cooking classes, etc. The Community Garden program was a big success, with 10 sites supported by grants received (including church sponsored, neighborhood, and
others); included were monthly educational and technical workshops. Bill mentioned an upcoming statewide 4-H Hungry to Help program that will aim to fight hunger in local communities. Finally, he talked about the character education programs, coordinating with civic clubs in schools.
Sanford Rotary Club President Tony Lett opened the Aug. 31, meeting and called on David Foushee to lead the Rotary Prayer. Tom Spence directed the group singing of “The Get Together Song”, as well as “Happy Birthday” directed to Ted Lanier, who was celebrating his birthday. Alan Dossenbach announced that David Nestor was credited with a make-up for attending the San-Lee Sunrise meeting last Monday. Cliff Peak and Rupert Ainsley were recognized as visiting Rotarians from the Jonesboro Club. Ted Lanier introduced his daughter Patricia as his guest for the day. Alan Dossenbach won $14 in the 50/50 Raffle. Under “Braggin’ Bucks” Ted Lanier
bragged on his daughter being his lovely guest for lunch. Tom Spence bragged that Tom Ross, former head of Davidson College was recently elected to be the President of the University of North Carolina. Phill Richmond bragged on Ted Lanier for helping to sponsor a hole at the Wounded Warriors Golf Tournament. Wilson Cox bragged that his 8-yearold grandson entered and finished his first mini triathlon. President Tony Lett bragged on Jeff Moss for the recent announcement that the best performing elementary school in Lee County will be awarded $50,000 to split equally with all employees of the winning school. Phil Richmond announced again that he has tickets to share with Rotary members for the “Get Motivated” program at the RBC Center in Raleigh on Sept. 8. President Lett reminded the membership of the Sept. 7 meeting at which Neal Jensen will discuss last year’s Rotary International Convention held in Montreal. Lett also told the club of the next Rotaryto-Rotary Friendship Exchanges, including one next spring to Australia and one being arranged to Taiwan. Members were reminded and asked to make a special effort to attend the Sept. 21 visit of District Gov. Wes Patterson. Alan Dossenbach introduced Jan Hayes, Executive Director of the United Way of Lee County, for an update on this year’s annual campaign. Hayes first thanked the Sanford Rotary Club for sharing the time, talents and treasures of our late member, Bill Lawrence. She said that he was most

instrumental in helping start the United Fund 50 years ago and was always willing to help, whatever the need. Today that organization is known as the United Way.

Garden Continued from Page 1C
Some sites are primarily youth gardens, a few are operated by churches, and others are neighborhood gardens. Although the Extension was available for advice, the groups had free reign in what they planted. “The coolest thing about all our sites was that each one was different,” Stone said. Some popular crops were tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and zucchini. As the satellite sites got established, they weren’t left on their own. The extension held regular workshops on topics
ranging from pest control to harvesting — which were appropriately timed. “They come monthly to these workshops and find out basically what’s going on in their gardens at that time,” Romelczyk said. “It’s an opportunity for them to learn while they’re doing.” According to site coordinator Susan Brooks, “everybody’s doing their share” at the garden operated by the Brick Capital Community Development Corporation. Youth ages 3 to 18 have been enthusiastic about the new experience, she said, while the adults have enjoyed saving money and working together. “That’s the gathering place for the commu-
nity,” Brooks said. “The community has really come closer with that garden.” Everything grown in another satellite garden, operated by St. Luke United Methodist Church, is donated to the Christian United Outreach Center. Site coordinator Nancy Tew said in the past year, the church has contributed 972.5 pounds of cucumbers, 86 pounds of zucchini and 401.5 pounds of tomatoes to the CUOC. “I think people have been surprised how a small area of land can feed so many people,” Tew said. The church is getting ready to plant broccoli, collard greens and cabbage in its fall
garden. A wrap-up event is scheduled for Sept. 21, which begins at the Extension at 6:30 p.m. Those in attendance will bring covered dishes, made with items from their gardens, and swap recipes. “We’ll kind of review the experience with everybody,” Stone said, “and they’ll share what they learned.” Stone added that the element of collaboration has made the project successful and will carry it into the future. “I’d like to see expansion next year; I’d like to see more people get involved,” Stone said. “There’s plenty of room for growth.”
Classroom Continued from Page 1C
in Cumberland County today are fully immersed in foreign language by kindergarten. The innovations put the school system at the forefront of such efforts nationwide, said Superintendent Frank Till Jr., who has made international education one of his top priorities. The idea is to prepare children for the types of jobs they’ll get as adults. It’s particularly crucial in the hometown of Fort Bragg, whose soldiers are at the forefront of international affairs, Till said. “Our kids, our children, when they graduate from here have to know there’s a bigger world out there than Cumberland County or the United States,” Till said. “And that they’re going to have to interact with kids from all over the world or compete with kids from all over the world.” As a new school year begins Wednesday, children across the county are already learning lessons with a worldwide perspective. Some examples: Three elementary schools immerse their students in Spanish. It’s the only language allowed in their math, science and some other classes. In place since 2007, the goal is to have the children fluent by fifth grade. At Cross Creek Early College High School, which has operated on Fayetteville State University’s campus since 2005, students graduate with college credits. Some already have a year of college courses behind them before they get their diploma. Next year, another early college high school may open. This one will focus on foreign languages and diplomacy - skills important to the Army Special Forces units based at Fort Bragg. The Army operates a language school and has discussed collaborating with the public schools on this project. Cumberland County isn’t alone in its efforts. There are eight internationally focused schools and an early college high school in the Raleigh area, for example. Charlotte’s school system has several language immersion schools. So far, much of Cumberland County’s efforts have been confined to about 10 of its 85 public schools. But Till - now in his second year as head of North Carolina’s fourth-largest school system - wants to make such programs available to all of the system’s 53,000 students. “We have pieces of things, and the real thing is we’re trying to pull them together so we just don’t have ... random acts of excellence, but that we have excellence everywhere,” he said.
For example, Till hopes to have seven more language immersion schools in the near future and to offer languages in addition to Spanish. The changes in part are driven by Fort Bragg. The military base is home to about 10 percent of the Army’s active-duty troops who deploy throughout the world. And Fort Bragg is growing with BRAC. By September 2011, about 3,000 new, high-ranking military and civilian jobs will be on post. Some expect Fayetteville to become a hub for defense and homeland security companies that do business across the globe. Till wants his students to graduate with skills needed to get those jobs. Fayetteville already has international flavor, which surprised Till when he moved here last year. Cumberland County schools educate children from 36 foreign countries, Till said. Last year, a survey found that 48 foreign languages are spoken in homes of school-age children. The most common were Spanish, Korean, German, Vietnamese, Chinese and Arabic. “It shows you how multicultural we are here,” Till said. At New Century International Elementary School, teachers from China and Taiwan will teach Mandarin Chinese from kindergarten through fifth grade. Yanling Ye used to teach high school English in China. Now she is preparing to teach Chinese nursery rhymes, children’s songs and simple phrases to kindergartners and firstgraders at New Century. “Learning Chinese is kind of a trend in the world,” Ye said. China is North Carolina’s fastest-growing export market, according to the state Department of Commerce. It’s the world’s largest country in population and has the second-largest economy in value. “I think it is a really good chance for them to learn more about China,” Ye said “And if they are really good at it, I think ... they will have more chances than others who don’t speak Chinese” to find work and business opportunities in China. New Century is the county’s second international school after Gray’s Creek Elementary. While New Century teaches Chinese, Gray’s Creek teaches Spanish. At both schools, each grade level studies a different region of the world: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. The schools have at least one teacher who has lived or taught in each region, said New Century Principal Felix Keyes. New Zealand native Amy Wesley has decorated her first-grade classroom with pictures from her part of the world. She has stocked the cupboards with Australian crackers and Vegemite spread.
