DISTRICT’S SAT SCORES CLIMB

Program bumps pay for early educators

Lee Early College, Lee County High School see jumps; Southern Lee falls By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Lee County Schools’ average SAT score jumped 10 points in 2010 from 2009, according to the North Carolina 2010 SAT report released Monday. On the combined math and critical reading sections, students in Lee County Schools scored an average of 1,000. The state average for public school students is 1,008. Both are below the national average of

1,017. “I attribute every bit of (the 10-point increase) to the hard work and dedication of the teachers in our high schools,” Superintendent of Lee County Schools Jeff Moss said. Critical reading scores improved by seven points and math scores improved by three points in Lee County. Statewide, critical reading scores increased by two points and math scores increased by one point. Writing

Average Pre-K teacher, child care provider makes just $22,530 a year

SANFORD — With an average salary of $22,530, many North Carolina child care providers and pre-K teachers outside the public school system are struggling to make ends meet. But a statewide salary incentive program aims to change that, and improve early education in the process. The Child Care WAGE$ Project provides salary supplements to early educators who further their own education through college-level early education classes. Low wages contribute to a high turnover rate among North Carolina child care providers. Through its salary supplements, the WAGE$ Project aims to keep early educators on the job for a longer period of time. “The less frequently young children change teachers, the better their environment is,” said Lyn Hankins, executive director of Lee County Partnership for Children. Last year, the project contributed funding to educating and retaining more than 7,000 child care providers and early educators, which consequently benefited the 90,000 children in their care. The more education pre-K child care providers have, Hankins said, the stronger the children’s learning environment in a critical time for their education. “The pre-K level is the

Almanac Today is Tuesday, Sept. 14, the 257th day of 2010. There are 108 days left in the year. This day in history: On Sept. 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key wrote a poem after witnessing how Fort McHenry in Maryland had endured a night of British bombardment during the War of 1812; that poem, “Defence of Fort McHenry,” later became the lyrics to “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the American national anthem. In 1836, former Vice President Aaron Burr died in Staten Island, N.Y. at age 80. In 1847, during the Mexican-American War, U.S. forces under Gen. Winfield Scott took control of Mexico City. In 1901, President William McKinley died in Buffalo, N.Y., of gunshot wounds inflicted by an assassin. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him. In 1927, modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan died in Nice (nees), France, when her scarf became entangled in a wheel of the sports car she was riding in. In 1948, a groundbreaking ceremony took place in New York at the site of the United Nations’ world headquarters. In 1960, representatives of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela concluded a conference in Baghdad where they had created the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC.

School committee approves survey for communication

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Lee County Board of Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ad hoc committee met again Monday to finalize a survey it hopes will shed some light on the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view of communication among the board, the school system, parents and the public. The survey sparked a twohour debate last week about the best questions to ask, the best way to word them and the best order in which to ask them. Committee Chairman Cameron Sharpe recessed that meeting until Monday to give the committee members time to reflect on the survey and make any last-minute adjustments. After 15 minutes of discussion, the committee unanimously voted to submit the survey to the Board of Education for approval at tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting. The proposed surveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions include how satisfied people are with the way the Board of Education and Lee County Schools communicate, how people prefer to receive information about the schools, how informative the Lee County Schools Web site is and how the district can improve the way it communicates with the community. Once the survey is approved, a paper copy will be sent home to parents. An online version will also be available to members of the community regardless of whether or not they have children at Lee County Schools once the paper copy is distributed. If the board approves the survey at tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, Sharpe said it should be ready for distribution within a couple of days. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Alexa Milan

Two arrested for robberies on Wicker

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sanford police say they arrested a local man and woman last week for allegedly breaking into a Wicker Street residence and later using a stolen bank card from the home. Investigators arrested

Nehemiah Perez Cameron, 30, of 3406 Renee Drive in Sanford, and Sonya Lee Ramsey, 28, of 1111 Crest St. in Sanford, following the robbery Thursday. Cameron and Ramsey are accused of breaking into a Wicker Street home Thursday and stealing an assortment of jewelry and a purse, police said. Later that day, the couple are also alleged to have used a bank card stolen from the residence. Both Cameron and Ramsey are charged with felony breaking and entering, felony larceny, felony possession of stolen goods, financial card theft, misdemeanor financial card fraud and felony identity theft. Cameron, who has an extensive criminal history with convictions for felony breaking and entering, larceny of a motor vehicle and assault, was held in Lee County Jail under a $10,000 secured bond. Ramsey was jailed under a $5,000 secured bond. Ramsey has no prior convictions listen by the Department of Corrections. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Billy Ball

edâ&#x20AC;? the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allegations, Huber said. Rogers is being charged with first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and communicating threats. Huber said he did not know the nature of Rogersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reported assault or the alleged weapon used in the incident. No information was available on whether the woman suffered major injuries in the altercation. First-degree rape in North Carolina law indicates instances where the accused might have used a weapon or harmed the victim during the assault. An official with Sanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Guard office said Rogers is not a member of the local unit. An arrest report for Rogers denotes him as a member of the National Guard special forces, specifically as a weapons expert. Records do not indicate Rogers has a criminal history in the state of North Carolina; nor is he a registered sex offender. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Billy Ball

HARNETT COUNTY

Local guardsman charged with rape, kidnapping SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A reported National Guardsman from Sanford was arrested by Harnett County investigators this weekend on a handful of charges, including allegations of rape and kidnapping. Deputies with the Harnett County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office say they arrested 33-year-old Timothy Michael Rogers, of 99 Trail Rider Lane in Sanford, Saturday, adding additional charges a day later. Rogers, who listed his occupation for deputies as a special forces member of the U.S. National Guard, was initially charged Saturday when a woman accused him of making threats, said Maj. Jeff Huber of the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. After deputies arrested Rogers, the woman accused him of several more crimes, investigators said. Deputies obtained a search warrant and found evidence that â&#x20AC;&#x153;corroborat-

With a project like WAGE$, you can maintain teachers. Great teachers are something this field continually needs.â&#x20AC;? McLean has participated in the WAGE$ Project for several years. As her education and experience level has increased, so has her salary supplement. McLean said she and her students have felt the benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to supplement income since (early educators) normally donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive much above minimum wage,â&#x20AC;?

Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SAT scores static, more students seek college RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The average SAT score for collegebound North Carolina students was almost unchanged this year even though more took the most common entrance test, according to a report released Monday. North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average total score on the SAT was 1485, just one point off the total for the three-part exam of 1486 last year and four points below the 2008 mark of 1489. The national average for students was 1509 on the test that combines separate scores for critical reading, mathematics and writing. A writing section added to the test five years ago made the maximum total score 2400. Officials with the College Board, which administers the test, warned against reading too much into slight year-to-year movement. While there remains areas for improvement, more students are preparing to continue their education after high school, state schools superintendent June Atkinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hovering for the past couple of years in the same place, even with an increase in the number of people taking the SAT,â&#x20AC;? Atkinson said. The report showed 57,841 graduating seniors in North Carolina public and private schools took the SAT this year, more than any other class in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and an increase of 1,399 over two years ago. Almost two out of three North Carolina students took the SAT this year, compared to almost half nationally. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Associated Press

According to the North Carolina Partnership for Children, 97 percent of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participants said the salary supplements from WAGE$ helped ease their financial stress, and 79 percent said the funding was essential in paying their bills. Smart Start (led by Partnership for Children), the North Carolina Office of Early Learning and the North Carolina Division of Child Development contribute funding to the project. McLean said applying to the project is easy, so she encourages everyone she knows in the early education field to participate. She said as long as the funding is available, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to start receiving compensation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just fill out an application and send in your educational requirements, and they let you know what level you qualify for,â&#x20AC;?

Students at Lee Early College scored an average of 1,121 on the combined reading and math sections. Lee County High School scored an average of 1,038, a 37-point jump from 2009.

Last year was the first year all students were required to take the PSAT, which Moss said he thinks contributed to the 10point increase in addition to the hard work of the students and teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gave them a sense of the formatting of the questions and the test,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. In the future, Moss said he hopes the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SAT scores will continue to increase. In addition to students being required to take the PSAT, Moss said he thinks over time, the recent initiative to increase the number of eighth graders taking Algebra I and English I will boost scores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to continue the practices we have in place with the PSAT and SAT prep,â&#x20AC;?

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

There’s no shortage of fun this fall

ho says there’s nothing to do in the Central Carolina area? While we’re still a few days from the fall season — Sept. 23, to be exact — it’s that refreshing time of the year when summer temperatures give way to autumn breezes ... and lots of activities to accompany the season. Of course, of immediate attention is the wondrous Lee Regional Fair, which has been wonderfully organized by the Sanford Lions Club for so many years. And, the Lions have received tremendous assistance from the staff of the Lee County

Center of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service. The fair will continue throughout this week, with plenty of things to see and do for people of all ages. The fair begins today and runs through Sunday. Stay with The Herald for complete coverage throughout the week (and check out the second edition of our fair blog by clicking the blue ribbon at our site, sanfordherald.com). As has been the case, the local fair will soon be followed by the glamorous North Carolina State Fair, which will be held Oct. 14-24, in nearby Raleigh. And, if those two fairs are

not enough, you can look forward to the Chatham County Fair to be held Sept. 29-Oct. 2. The festive occasions do not end with those fairs. There’s the annual Lillington Fall Festival that is set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday in Harnett County. In Chatham County, there’s the annual Pumpkin Festival to be held Sept. 25-26 on Meronies Church Road in Bear Creek. The event is sponsored by the South Chatham Ruritan Club. Nearby in Goldston, on Oct. 9, will be the Goldston Old Fashion Day — an annual fall festival. That same day, on Oct. 9,

The Raleigh Executive Jetport at Sanford-Lee County will host the “Family Day @ the Jetport.” Cameron will host its annual Fall Antiques Fair on Oct. 2, an event that draws many people to this small Moore County town. Another fall festival that will take place in the area will be held Oct. 23 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Enrichment Center in Sanford. So don’t complain that there’s “nothing to do” here, because if you think that, you’re just not looking hard enough. And realize that by sticking around, you’re supporting the local economy.

The wrong lawsuit

ALEIGH — The North Carolina Supreme Court is probably considering the wrong lawsuit. Then again, the justices can’t consider one that hasn’t been brought. A lawsuit that it is considering delves into gubernatorial and legislative power as it relates to state budgeting. ... The suit, brought by former state Sen. Bill Goldston and former state Transportation Secretary Jim Harrington, is now eight years old. It challenged former Gov. Mike Easley’s decision to use highway money to help balance the budget when the state was facing a $1.6 billion shortfall. A hearing for lawyers to argue the case attracted plenty of attention. Two former governors and three former chief justices attended. House Speaker Joe Hackney was there too. All attention focused on a single, long, meandering sentence in the state constitution that gives governors the authority to balance the budget when tax collections come up short, or entitlement expenses run too high. The sentence reads, in part, “To insure that the State does not incur a deficit for any fiscal period, the Governor shall continually survey the collection of the revenue and shall effect the necessary economies in State expenditures …” Budget shortfalls have unfortunately occurred all too often lately. They happened in 2001 and 2002 during Easley’s terms, and again in 2009 and this year for Perdue. One part of Easley’s response in 2002 was to move $100 million from a dedicated highway fund. That prompted the lawsuit from Goldston and Harrington. Last year, a three-judge panel from the state’s lower appeals court ruled in favor of the two men. The state promptly appealed the split decision, putting the matter on the Supreme Court’s plate. Another former Supreme Court justice, Bob Orr, arguing on behalf of Goldston and Harrington, told the robed ones that this business about “necessary economies” meant that a governor could only cut expenses, not move money from one fund to the other. Chris Browning, the state’s solicitor general, argued the governor’s budget powers during times of deficit are broad. He’s right. The language in the constitution is broad, and has traditionally been interpreted that way. Orr, meanwhile, failed to note some illogic to his argument. Easley’s move did cut expenses — to road building. ... But while the lawyers and their clients have focused on the first 33 words of that ponderous sentence, no one seems worried about the last 59 words. Those words pretty clearly require that a shortfall actually exist before governors go moving around money or cutting budget line items approved by legislators. Both Easley and Perdue could be accused of ignoring those words in years when a budget shortfall wasn’t immediately imminent. Maybe someone filed the wrong lawsuit.

Bent ‘framework’ W

ASHINGTON — Just how corrupt is the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan? It should be clear by now that President Hamid Karzai doesn’t want us to know. He’d prefer that we just keep sending our troops and our dollars, and not ask too many questions. Karzai’s government announced last week that American and allied advisers, dispatched to Kabul to help investigate massive and endemic graft, will no longer be allowed to do any actual investigating. Karzai’s chief of staff told The Washington Post that the government is still determined to eliminate corruption, but intends to do so “within an Afghan framework.” And what a framework it is. Karzai is evidently upset that foreign advisers helped build a case against one of his high-ranking aides, Mohammad Zia Salehi, who is charged with soliciting a bribe — $10,000 plus a new car — from a money-exchange firm. In return, according to the charges, Salehi was supposed to derail an investigation into allegations that the company, called New Ansari, had illegally shipped $3 billion in cash out of the country. Most of the funds ended up in Dubai, where many of the wealthy Afghan elite have settled. Salehi was arrested, but Karzai intervened to have him released from jail just seven hours later. Karzai has said that the use of wiretaps to build the case against Salehi was a violation of “human rights principles.” I wonder what other standard investigative techniques don’t fit within the “Afghan framework.” A serious, sustained probe of high-level Afghan corruption might hit even closer to home for Karzai and his family. His brother, Mahmoud Karzai, is one of the biggest shareholders in Kabul Bank, the nation’s largest financial institution, which almost collapsed last week amid allegations that it was essentially being looted by politically connected insiders. Mahmoud Karzai lives in what the Financial Times describes as a “beachside villa” in Dubai. President Karzai’s half-brother, Ahmed Wali Karzai, is the most powerful political figure in the Kandahar region — and also, according to persistent allegations, a major player in Afghanistan’s illegal drug trade. He denies any involvement in the opium business, and Hamid Karzai vouches for him, so that’s that. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who was in Washington last week to consult with President Obama, told The Washington Post that he has repeatedly urged Afghan officials to crack down on corruption. “All these stories about irregularities and corruption are damaging for public support for our presence in Afghanistan,” he said, displaying his mastery of understatement. At this point, it’s impossible to avoid the

Eugene Robinson Columnist Eugene Robinson is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

conclusion that U.S. soldiers are fighting and dying to prop up a government willing to tolerate — and, allegedly, eager to profit from — corruption on an epic scale, including vast commerce in illegal drugs. It’s also hard not to conclude that billions of dollars sent to Afghanistan by U.S. taxpayers — intended for worthy projects such as roads and schools — have been stolen by wealthy, well-connected power brokers who spend much of their time luxuriating on the beaches of Dubai. I’m not naive. Anyone familiar with the history of American foreign policy knows that this isn’t the first time the United States has lavished guns and butter on a corrupt regime. We did it all the time when policymakers believed we needed allies, however unsavory, who would serve as bulwarks against communism. But the way we supported, say, the old Duvalier kleptocracy in Haiti is different from what we’re doing in Afghanistan, where our generosity is not just in dollars but in young American lives. This is more like our embrace of the corrupt government in South Vietnam — and we all know how that turned out. The Afghan government will never be able to win the nation’s allegiance if officials are seen, with justification, as being more intent on stealing than leading. U.S. and allied officials say that Karzai understands how important it is to end the corruption. The Afghan president’s actions, however, suggest otherwise. As for Rasmussen’s warning, he’s a little late; public opinion has already turned against the war. But now that we understand how things work, we could make our Afghanistan mission vastly more efficient: Bring the troops home and just send duffel bags full of cash to Kabul, Kandahar and Dubai.

Today’s Prayer Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. (Luke 10:31) PRAYER: Father, help me as I go about my daily life, that I may see others in need and help them. Amen.

Letters to the Editor Holy books of Mulsims, Christians couldn’t be more different To the Editor: RE: Recent letters about the Muslims and Christians Whether it is for a war of words or otherwise, those who know Kirk Smith count on him to be well-prepared and heavily armed. I attend church with Kirk and believe that he has read the Old Testament far more often that Mark Coggins has read the Quran. If Mr. Coggins truly believes that the “Allah” worshiped by Muslims is the same “God” worshiped by Christians, perhaps he should set aside the Quran and become more familiar with the New Testament. While it is true that many stories appearing in the Old and New Testaments show up in the Quran, the factual narratives given differ so significantly that one must be a lie. The Quran was written by one man, hundreds and even thousands of years after the stories he claims to report occurred. All of the stories familiar to observant Jews and faithful Christians were radically rewritten in the Quran. Jesus is recognized in the Quran as the second greatest prophet, but it is emphatically denied that he is the “one and only Son of God.” From beginning to end, the New Testament asserts that Jesus was, is and will always be God made flesh to dwell among us in order to consummate all prophecies that were written concerning him throughout the Old Testament. Mohammad dismisses all of this as a blasphemous gloss added by the low-life and idolatrous disciples and apostles that Jesus gathered about him and taught during his life. A Christian cannot accept “Allah” as the same “God” without rejecting Jesus Christ as his son. Some might prefer to cling to their savior instead of to Islam’s Allah. Throughout the Old Testament, there were those who wanted to say that “Baal” and “Molech” meant the same thing as “Yaweh.” Joshua challenged the Israelites at Shechem and Elijah again called upon them on Mount Carmel to “choose you this day whom you will serve.” In the process, Elijah demonstrated that lethal violence by believers is an appropriate response to violence and persecution against them. Where Islam holds power, freedom of speech and religion are usually non-existent. Christians, especially, are persecuted and, all too often, killed. Instead of lecturing us so often, our president would do well to inform the Muslim world that Americans are still a mite perturbed that Islamic radicals recently murdered 3,000 people on our own soil, that toleration is a two-way street and that Americans will not accept that Muslims can nurture a radical fringe that will dictate what we can draw in cartoons or do in our own country. Instead of being hateful, it seems to me that Kirk Smith is simply being realistic. I, for one, am glad that there are some who believe in First Amendment rights enough to advocate Second Amendment precautions to defend them. When they come in peace, I’m all for openness and mutual respect. When they come to kill us or convert us by force, that is another matter. DON HUDSON Sanford

CAPE HATTERAS

STATE BRIEFS Woman found dead behind home

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A North Carolina man has been arrested after the body of a woman was found in the back yard of a home. Multiple media outlets reported that 42-year-old James Michael Watson of WinstonSalem was arrested Sunday in Morganton and charged with first-degree murder. Winston-Salem Police Capt. David Clayton says the body was found Sunday afternoon in a shallow grave in some trees behind a house. Clayton says the body appears to have been buried several days ago. An autopsy was planned Monday at the Medical Examiner’s Office in Chapel Hill to confirm the victim’s identity and how she died. Police say they received a report there was a body behind the house. Clayton says the victim’s apartment was near Watson’s home.

Suspect arrested in sheriff’s deputy wounding in Waco

WACO (AP) — A suspect has been arrested in the wounding of a North Carolina sheriff’s deputy. Multiple media outlets reported Cleveland County Deputy Tim Elmore was shot Sunday night after he and another deputy responded to a report of a suspicious person behind a convenience store in Waco, about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte. Sheriff’s Capt. Alan Norman says Elmore was shot in the

arm and shoulder and has been released from Cleveland Regional Medical Center in Shelby. Sheriff Raymond Hamrick says 51-year-old Otis Lynn Short was picked up Monday morning in Bessemer City. Store clerk Jason Brown says he called deputies after a neighbor told him a suspicious person was hiding in woods nearby. Norman says one deputy went in the store and Elmore went behind the store. Witnesses heard several shots.

No bond for man charged in abortion clinic plot GREENSBORO (AP) — A North Carolina man accused of describing how to make explosives to bomb an abortion clinic is being held without bond. U.S. Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Lynne Klauer says the detention of Justin Carl Moose of Concord was ordered by a Greensboro federal court on Monday. The next step will be the presentation of evidence to a federal grand jury. An FBI agent said in court documents last week that Moose was arrested after he collaborated with a confidential informant to help plan the bombing of a North Carolina abortion clinic. The FBI affidavit says the 26-year-old posted instructions on his Facebook page about how to make an explosive. An attorney for Moose did not return a call seeking comment.

Shore has record number of turtles HATTERAS (AP) — They stood around an empty nest, little more than a hole in the sand where the miracle of life had already come and gone. They watched as a man in a green uniform lay flat on the beach and thrust his entire arm deep into the sandy ground. Another man in a green uniform cautioned the crowd not to expect much. “If we find a live hatchling, that’s a bonus,” said Eric Frey, a biology technician at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Moments later, a loggerhead turtle the size of a potato chip emerged from the hole. It wiggled in Frey’s hand. The crowd responded with a barrage of clicking cameras usually reserved for celebrities on red carpets. Children stood on their tiptoes to come eye-to-eye with the tiny creature. A woman wept tears not quite hidden by sunglasses. “This little guy, or girl — I don’t know what the sex is ...” Frey said as he held a tiny, sand-covered turtle struggling to swim through the air. “This little hatchling will, hopefully, grow to adulthood.” Turtles typically lay 80 to 90 eggs per nest; in this particular nest, technicians found 110

hatched eggs. Frey spoke to a group of about three dozen people gathered Thursday evening on a beach between Frisco and Hatteras Village on the Outer Banks. They came to watch park technicians excavate a turtle nest that had hatched 72 hours earlier. It’s a routine that park officials do to learn what they can about the rare turtles that lay nests on Cape Hatteras National Seashore. But they don’t always invite the public. By the demonstration’s end, the crowd witnessed four baby turtles take their first steps on wet sand and into the ocean. Their chances of making it to adulthood are slim, but loggerhead turtles can reach 350 pounds. “It’s amazing to me how this all works,” said Theresa Schwinghammer, 43, of Indiana. With 153 nests, this is a record year for turtles at Cape Hatteras National Seashore — 68 miles of federally owned, public ocean shoreline managed by the National Park Service. Three species of sea turtles — the loggerhead, green and leatherback — nest within the park, but only two are common. Leatherback turtles are considered federally endangered and rarely

nest on the Outer Banks, the northernmost tip of their range. “When we get (leatherback) nests up here, it’s just kind of an anomaly,” Frey said. Loggerhead turtles are by far the most common. Of this year’s 153 nests, only six are green turtles. Turtles in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina are also “all having better-than-average, if not record, years,” Frey said. Regionally, the most likely explanation is an abundance of food, he said. Loggerhead turtles eat mostly horseshoe crabs and blue crabs, while green turtles are vegetarians that eat algae and sea grass. On Cape Hatteras, there’s another factor that might be contributing to the turtles’ success, but it’s too early to say for sure. Endangered turtles and shorebirds are at the center of a heated debate between environmental groups and beach-access preservationists, with the National Park Service caught somewhere in the middle. Efforts to protect endangered animals often clash with the seashore’s traditional role as a recreation resource. The National Park Service banned summertime beach night driving

in 2008, and nests have been flourishing on Hatteras ever since, Frey said. Before the rule was implemented, the record number of nests was 99, he added. The ban on night driving protects turtles because it decreases the amount of artificial lights — from headlights, for example — and the number of people on the beaches. Beach access is being further regulated by a court-sanctioned consent decree that is serving as an interim management plan until the Park Service implements a new one next year. But John Couch, president of a local access advocacy group, the Outer Banks Preservation Association, said he is skeptical that the record number of turtle nests has anything to do with the regulations. “We’re happy that numbers are up,” Couch said. “(But) to say and single out that either the ban on night driving or the consent decree had anything to do with it is misleading and disingenuous.” Couch pointed to turtles’ success all over the Southeast and cautioned people not to correlate record numbers with access regulations until the matter is studied in depth.

Imam: Mosque not sacred ground

NEW YORK (AP) — It is two blocks from ground zero, but the site of a proposed mosque and Islamic center shouldn’t be seen as “hallowed ground” in a neighborhood that also contains a strip club and a betting parlor, the cleric leading the effort said Monday. Making an ardent case for the compatibility of Islam and American values, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf reiterated that he is searching for a solution to the furor the project has created. But he left unanswered exactly what he had in mind. If anything, Rauf only deepened the questions around the project’s future, telling an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations think tank that he was “exploring all options” — but declining to specify them — while also arguing that a highprofile site is necessary to get across his message of moderate Islam. While opponents of the project see it as insulting the memories of the thousands killed by Muslim extremists in the 2001 terrorist attacks, Rauf said he doesn’t see the spot as sacred memorial space. “It’s absolutely disingenuous, as many have said, that that block is hallowed ground,” Rauf said, noting the nearby exotic dance and betting businesses. “So let’s clarify that misperception.” Some Sept. 11 victims’ families and others view the proposed mosque site — in a building damaged by debris from the attacks — as very much part of

The controversy has colored the fall campaign season and cast a shadow on this past weekend’s commemoration of the attacks, with supporters and opponents of the mosque project holding rallies nearby. Rauf said a project meant to foster understanding has become

unduly mired in conflict and what he described as misconceptions of a fundamental clash between Islamic and American values. The Kuwait-born Rauf said his own faith had been shaped by the sense of choosing one’s identity that American society provided, compared with the Muslim milieu from which he emigrated in 1965. “I’m a devout Muslim ... and I’m also a proud American citizen,” said Rauf, noting that he was naturalized in 1979 and has a niece serving in the U.S. Army. “I vote in elections. I pay taxes. I pledge allegiance to the flag. And I’m a Giants fan.” He said the Islamic center’s organizers were surprised and saddened by the uproar and might not have pursued it had they known what was coming. But he declined

to detail any strategy for quieting the clamor — or say whether that might include moving the project. “We are exploring all options as we speak right now, and we are working through what will be a solution, God willing, that will resolve this crisis,” Rauf said during a question-and-answer session following his speech. “Everything is on the table.” After months of growing tensions over the plan, some observers say it is time to move past deliberation to a decision. Public receptiveness toward Rauf’s idea of creating a hub of moderate Islam “is being undermined by his inability to take a quick decision,” said Muqtedar Khan, a University of Delaware political scientist and author of “American Muslims, Bridging Faith and Freedom.” “It’s time for him to be very specific: Is it staying, or is it moving?”

Airline attack suspect suggests he wants to plead DETROIT (AP) — A Nigerian man charged with trying to blow up an international flight near Detroit on Christmas fired his lawyers Monday and suggested he wants to plead guilty to some of six charges against him. U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds advised Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab not to get rid of his attorneys, but he insisted. Edmunds then granted his request and asked if he had anything further to say. “If I want to plead guilty to some counts ... basically, how would that go?” Abdulmutallab responded during his first court appearance since being arraigned in January on charges that include attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. Edmunds told him she couldn’t advise on such matters and ordered that a stand-by attorney be named to assist Abdulmutallab with his defense. Stand-by attorneys, common in cases in which defendants represent themselves, are permitted to listen and give advice, but don’t negotiate with the government or take an active role in a trial.

Powerful Hurricane Igor churning across Atlantic MIAMI (AP) — Powerful Hurricane Igor was lumbering westward Monday far out over the Atlantic Ocean. Igor was at Category 4 strength with maximum sustained winds near 150 mph (240 kph). Earlier in the day, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Igor could reach Category 5 strength, but later said fluctuations in intensity were possible over the next two days. It was too early to tell if the

hurricane would pose a threat to land. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect Monday that were tied to Igor. Igor was located about 880 miles (1,420 kilometers) east of the Northern Leeward Islands and was moving west near 10 mph (17 kph). A turn toward the west-northwest was expected Monday night or Tuesday, the hurricane center said.

Melting sea ice forces walruses ashore in Alaska WASHINGTON (AP) — Tens of thousands of walruses have come ashore in northwest Alaska because the sea ice they normally rest on has melted. Federal scientists say this massive move to shore by walruses is unusual in the United States. But it has happened at least twice before, in 2007 and 2009. In those years Arctic sea ice also was at or near record low levels. Scientists are most concerned about the one-ton walruses stampeding and crushing each other and their smaller calves.

Bikers make noise on attempt to quiet motorcycles CALABASAS, Calif. (AP) — Bikers who like to hear their engines roar are making noise — while they still can — about a proposed California law to muffle their motorcycles. The state Senate passed a bill this month that would make it a motor vehicle violation to ride a roaring motorcycle. The bill targets bikers who remove factory-installed emission control devices mandated by the U.S. government and replace them with custom, after-market parts that often make their bikes louder — and dirtier.

Swift, Kanye steal the show at VMAs By NEKESA M. MOODY AP Music Writer

e derided himself as a jerk; she told him he wasn’t as bad as his misdeeds. He gave a sarcastic ode to his boorish behavior; she sang of an opportunity to grow from a very public stumble. Both Kanye West and Taylor Swift took the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday and addressed a matter from last year’s VMAs that had refused to die. Their separate but equally emotional performances seemed to provide resolution to the incident, while overshadowing the show’s other moments, including Lady Gaga’s eight VMA wins. This year’s Swift-West drama was a sequel to 2009’s unscripted debacle in which West interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech to proclaim that her trophy should have gone to Beyonce. The incident left Swift with hurt feelings, but West was the one who was seriously damaged from an intense backlash that took both a personal and professional toll. As this year’s VMAs drew closer, the buzz of a possible Swift-West showdown grew daily. Both were nominated for awards (which they lost), both were expected to perform and each has an album

West increased the potential of fireworks with a recent rant on Twitter in which he again apologized to Swift and talked about how he had suffered emotionally and economically. Then on Saturday, The Associated Press learned that Swift would be singing a song about last year’s most talked-about moment. But instead of skewering West in song as Swift has done to others, she offered an olive branch with her song “Innocent,” written earlier this year and due to appear on her new album: “Everyone of us has messed up, too ... I hope you remember today is never too late to be brand new.” The 20-year-old’s poignant and powerful ode — which was introduced with a video montage that referenced last year’s

ceremony — sympathized with West’s difficult time in the spotlight and his own admissions that his ego has often gotten in his way. “Thirty-two and still growing up now; who you are is not what you did,” she sang seriously and softly, adding: “You’re still an innocent.” West’s song, which was preceded by scattered boos from the audience, didn’t seem to address last year’s incident, but talked about the obnoxious behavior that has too often overshadowed his musical talent. “I always find something wrong; you’ve been putting up with my (expletive) for too long,” he sang, before launching into an unprintable chorus, which included the line: “Let’s have a toast to scumbags.” With all that pathos, no other celebrities could

really compete. Still, Lady Gaga tried — as the most outrageously dressed — and that’s saying something, given Katy Perry’s barely there outfit and Ke$ha’s garbage bag-dress. Gaga accepted her video of the year award with an outfit sure to anger PETA: a dress and chapeau made of what seemed to be cuts of raw beef, including a meat purse. It was one of her three zany outfits of the evening. She arrived in a spectacular outfit by the late Alexander McQueen: a Victorian-inspired gown and a Mohawk feather headdress atop a long white wig, with monstrous stilettos that made her look like she was on stilts. Later, she changed into a black dress so overflowing she needed help to get onstage to accept one of her trophies. Cher — an over-the-top diva from a different era — gave Gaga her bestvideo award and noted she had been raising eyebrows when Lady Gaga “was still Baby Gaga.” Gaga was teary-eyed during her victories, and sang the title of her new album, “Born This Way,” as she accepted the last award. There were few other highlights, despite performances by Usher, Eminem and Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Linkin Park, and appearances by Nicki Minaj and the cast of MTV’s “Jersey Shore.”

Oprah begins final season by sending audience to Australia

Former president to appear on ‘Daily Show’

CHICAGO (AP) — They shrieked, they gasped, they cried, they hugged — and that was before Oprah Winfrey’s studio audience got a trip to Australia. Winfrey kicked off her 25th and final season of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Monday with Winfrey promised surprises. After teasing the 300 audience members with a suggestion she might take them on a trip to New York, Philadelphia or Los Angeles, she said her last season merited something “bigger.” “So I started to think about where would I most want to go,” she said over the din of an audience that suddenly understood they were going somewhere far away. “Maybe I should take you all with me to the other side of the world. We’re going to Australia,” Winfrey shouted. With that, a mock-up of a Quantas Air Lines jet rolled onto stage, its door opened and actor John Travolta, who also flies airplanes, stepped out dressed as a Quantas pilot. Winfrey, who opened her 19th season six years ago by giving out cars to everyone in her studio audience, will take this group in December on an 8-day, 7-night trip.

NEW YORK (AP) — Comedy Central says former President Bill Clinton will visit “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” on Thursday.

’Body Snatchers’ actor McCarthy dies in Mass.

HYANNIS, Mass. (AP) — The actor who played the frantic doctor trying to save his friends and neighbors in the science-fiction movie classic “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” has died in Massachusetts. Kevin McCarthy was 96. Cape Cod Hospital spokesman Dave Riley says McCarthy died Saturday morning. He won’t reveal the cause of death. McCarthy was a prolific actor. His career took off in 1938 with his Broadway debut in “Abe Lincoln in Illinois.” His most lasting fame would came from “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” In the 1956 film he vainly tried to warn residents in his small town of the evil pod people from outer space who were quietly taking over the personalities of everyone on Earth. His frantic shouting of “You’re next” to those in approaching cars became so well known among science fiction fans he was often asked to spoof the role.

Mayer closes his Twitter account NEW YORK (AP) — John Mayer is losing friends — on the Internet at least. A spokeswoman for the pop singer says he has discontinued his Twitter account with his Battle Studies Tour “now at a close and a return to the studio planned.” Mayer had more than 3.7 million followers on the social networking website. He used the account to invite University of South Carolina fans to see a free show in February before the start of the tour to promote his album “Battle Studies.” An e-mailed statement says Mayer continues to communicate with fans through his blog. Mayer’s hits include “Your Body is a Wonderland” and “Waiting on the World to Change.

New ‘superbugs’ found in 3 states

BOSTON (AP) — An infectious-disease nightmare is unfolding: Bacteria that have been made resistant to nearly all antibiotics by an alarming new gene have sickened people in three states and are popping up all over the world, health officials reported Monday. The U.S. cases and two others in Canada all involve people who had recently received medical care in India, where the problem is widespread. A British medical journal revealed the risk last month in an article describing dozens of cases in Britain in people who had gone to India for medical procedures. How many deaths the gene may have caused

is unknown; there is no central tracking of such cases. So far, the gene has mostly been found in bacteria that cause gut or urinary infections. Scientists have long feared this — a very adaptable gene that hitches onto many types of common germs and confers broad drug resistance, creating dangerous “superbugs.” “It’s a great concern,” because drug resistance has been rising and few new antibiotics are in development, said Dr. M. Lindsay Grayson, director of infectious diseases at the University of Melbourne in Australia. “It’s just a matter of time” until the gene spreads more widely person-toperson, he said.

Grayson heads an American Society for Microbiology conference in Boston, which was buzzing with reports of the gene, called NDM-1 and named for New Delhi. The U.S. cases occurred this year in people from California, Massachusetts and Illinois, said Brandi Limbago, a lab chief at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Three types of bacteria were involved, and three different mechanisms let the gene become part of them. “We want physicians to look for it,” especially in patients who have traveled recently to India or Pakistan, she said. What can people do? Don’t add to the drug

resistance problem, experts say. Don’t pressure your doctors for antibiotics if they say they aren’t needed, use the ones you are given properly, and try to avoid infections by washing your hands. The gene is carried by bacteria that can spread hand-to-mouth, which makes good hygiene very important. It’s also why health officials are so concerned about where the threat is coming from, said Dr. Patrice Nordmann, a microbiology professor at South-Paris Medical School. India is an overpopulated country that overuses antibiotics and has widespread diarrheal disease and many people without clean water.

SOUTH CAROLINA

Prison attack renews phone jam debate

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina authorities who have helped push for permission to block cell phone signals inside prisons say an officer in charge of keeping out contraband was nearly killed at his home — in an attack planned with a smuggled phone. Corrections Department Capt. Robert Johnson was getting ready to

go to work at Lee Correctional Institution about 50 miles east of Columbia one day last March. Around 5:30 a.m., a man broke down the front door of Johnson’s mobile home, shooting the 15year prison veteran six times in the chest and stomach. “I heard a yell, ’Police!”’ said Johnson, 57, who believes the intruder may have been imper-

sonating an officer. “I came out the bathroom door, and there was this person there. I really don’t remember the rest. From the trauma, my mind just went blank.” Six months into his recovery, Johnson and his bosses want Congress to change a 1934 law that says the Federal Communications Commission can grant permission to jam the public airwaves

only to federal agencies, not state or local ones. The cell phone industry says the jamming methods some states want can interfere with emergency communications and legitimate cell phone use in the area. They advocate other, potentially more expensive technology that they say can be more precise but has seen only limited use.

Plane crashes with 51 aboard in Venezuela

Jailed American’s family asks Iran to drop bail

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A plane carrying 51 people crashed Monday in eastern Venezuela, and officials said 33 survived while at least 14 were killed. The French-built ATR 42 from the state airline Conviasa slammed into a lot used by the state-run Sidor steel foundry, leaving its smashed and partly scorched fuselage among barrels and shipping containers. At least 14 people were killed and four others were missing after the crash about six miles (10 kilometers) from the eastern city of Puerto Ordaz, Bolivar state Gov. Francisco Rangel Gomez told reporters. Steel plant worker Oscar Crespo said he heard the thunderous noise of the impact and found the plane in flames. “I was one of the first who got there to help,” Crespo told state television. “We brought some of the injured into an office to treat them. While I was taking people out, Sidor’s firefighters arrived to help us.” While he was helping some of the survivors from the wreckage in thick smoke, Crespo said, he heard some children among the passengers telling how they had looked out the windows and had seen they were “flying very low” before the crash. It was unclear what caused the crash.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A day after Iran offered a detained American woman a chance for release on $500,000 bail, her family countered with a request Monday to drop or lower the sum because they are struggling to raise the cash. The appeal — delivered by Swiss diplomats, who handle U.S. affairs in Iran — was another potential snag in a process already complicated by political feuds among Iran’s leadership and questions over how a payment could be made for Sarah Shourd’s freedom without violating international sanctions. There’s been no immediate word from Iranian authorities on the bid by Shourd’s family to drop or reduce her bail, said her attorney, Masoud Shafiei. But it comes as powerful voices within Iran challenge the decision to grant bail to the reportedly ailing Shourd, who was detained along the Iraq border in July 2009 with two American friends who are also jailed and face spy charges. The Revolutionary Guard used its allies in the Fars news agency to issue a sharply worded commentary decrying the move as a slap against Iran’s security and intelligence services. A lawmaker, Ahmad Tavakkoli, called the possible release a “bonus for Quran burners” in a clear reference to anti-Muslim factions in the United States.

Sports QUICKREAD Soccer Grace tops Cape Fear SANFORD — The Grace Christian Crusaders defeated Cape Fear Christian 4-1 on Monday night with Aaron Norris leading the way. Norris, who leads the state in scoring with 16 goals this season, scored two goals to help the Crusaders improve to 8-4 overall. The first Crusader goal came off an assist from Norris to Fernando Depaz in the 13th minute. With the game tied at 1, Norris scored his first goal of the game in the 50th minute to make it 2-1, with the assist coming from Sam Holt. He scored again 10 minutes later to make it 3-1 off another Holt assist. In the 77th minute, Sawyer Williams scored his first goal of his varsity career off an assist from Jonathan Wimberly. Grace will battle NCCSA 3-A Conference foe Faith Christian today at 5 p.m.

Cavs open conference with ease Goals all around as Southern Lee cruises to 9-0 victory over Westover By JONATHAN OWENS owens@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Southern Lee’s Santos Piedra split the defense and found Alex Palme near the goal, who promptly sent the ball into the back of the net as the clock counted down the final minute of Monday night’s

game. It was the ninth goal of the game for the Cavaliers, who made a statement that they intend to contend for the Cape Fear Valley Conference title again this year by opening league play with a resounding 9-0 win over Westover. The Cavs are now 1-0

in conference play and 7-2 overall. Burman said while he expects several teams to be strong in the conference, he may have one his strongest teams this year and expects a great season. “We start keeping score now,” Burman said of the open of conference play. “I think

Three interceptions not enough to cost Moore his job

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Wake Forest has suspended junior center Tony Woods indefinitely following a recent arrest. Coach Jeff Bzdelik said Monday that Woods was suspended “in order to allow him to devote his time and effort to address the allegations that he is facing.” Woods was arrested last week and faces misdemeanor charges of assault inflicting serious injury, assault on a female and assault inflicting injury in the presence of a child. According to a report filed by Winston-Salem police, Woods is accused of kicking and pushing down the mother of his 1-yearold son, causing her to fracture her spine. Woods averaged about five points and three rebounds in 31 games last season. He faces a Sept. 30 court date.

GREENVILLE (AP) — East Carolina has beaten two Conference USA opponents and put up 100 points in doing so. Now comes an even bigger test for the Pirates (2-0): Their first road trip under Ruffin McNeill takes them to face a reeling Virginia Tech team that’s coming off one of the most humiliating losses in school history. McNeill said Monday that he’s trying to keep his unbeaten team level-headed as it prepares to face the winless Hokies (0-2). He doesn’t want them to be too timid or too overconfident. Virginia Tech’s national championship aspirations seemingly went up in smoke with losses to No. 3 Boise State and FCS member James Madison in a six-day span. The Pirates expect Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va., to be even more inhospitable with the Hokies having lost consecutive games. “The momentum is there,” McNeill said Monday. “I think the biggest thing is you like to have an even keel if at all possible, where each play you’re competing at the highest level, playing the best you possibly can on that particular play.”

North Carolina’s Shaun Draughn (20) running the football as Citadel defenders try to tackle him in Chapel Hill last season.

UNC’s Draughn cleared to play against Georgia Tech By BRIANA GORMAN Durham Herald-Sun

CHAPEL HILL — The North Carolina football team added one more player to its depth chart on Monday when senior tailback Shaun Draughn was cleared to play. Draughn, one of the 13 players held out of the season opener against LSU because of the ongoing two-pronged investigation into agents and academics, will be available for the Tar Heels’ ACC opener against Georgia Tech on Satur-

day (noon, WRAL). “It’s going to be a big help,” UNC quarterback T.J. Yates said. In making the announcement, UNC did not specify why Draughn was held out of the LSU game. Coach Butch Davis said there was no update on the other 12 players who missed the opener, although everyone except defensive tackle Marvin Austin is expected to practice this week. Austin was suspended indefinately by Davis for violating team unspecified rules.

“We’ve kind of taken the mindset: The guys that played against LSU, that’s who we’re going to play with,” Davis said. “And if we’re fortunate to get guys back at any particular time, that’s good for us. “But right now, we’re practicing and preparing to play our game with the exact same football team. We got one player back today, and that’s a positive.” Draughn, who will not be

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Carolina Panthers coach John Fox has no plans to turn to rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen just yet. Three end zone interceptions and a lost fumble won’t be enough for Matt Moore to lose his starting job — as long as he’s recovered from a concussion in time for Sunday’s Moore home opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fox said Moore was “feeling way better” on Monday, a day after he was knocked out of the game and sent to the hospital for evaluation following a hard, blind-side hit by Osi Umenyiora in the final minutes of the New York Giants’ 31-18 win. But Fox said he may have suffered the concussion on the previous drive, when he lost a fumble after a hard hit by Mathias Kiwanuka, one of four times Moore was sacked. “I think he landed on the back of his head on a fumble play,” Fox said. “But I don’t know that for a fact.” It marked the second straight year of poor quarterback play in Week 1 for the Panthers. And just like last year, when Fox stuck with Jake Delhomme after five turnovers against Philadelphia, Fox provided no hesitation when asked if Moore would start against the Buccaneers if healthy.

Johnson somewhat overlooked as Chase begins By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE (AP) — This is the time of season when Jimmie Johnson thrives, and his Hendrick Motorsports team smooths out any chinks in its seemingly indestructible armor. And with five wins this season and the second seed in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, it’s not as though there have been too many bumps in the road. Then why is the four-time de-

fending champion an afterthought as NASCAR prepares for Sunday’s Chase opener at New Hampshire? Any talk that should be centered on Johnson’s bid for a fifth consecutive title seems to be secondary to the speculation as to who will be the driver to finally end his reign. Even his fellow competitors are wondering if this is the year Johnson will be beaten. “Superman has not lost his cape, but it’s shorter than it was in years

SAS Championship adds Crenshaw, Trevino and Zoeller CARY — The field of competitors for the 10th anniversary of the SAS Championship presented Bloomberg Businessweek continues to get stronger. Recognized as one of the premier events on the Champions Tour, the tournament has added World Golf Hall of Famers Ben Crenshaw and Lee Trevino and two-time major champion Fuzzy Zoeller. The SAS Championship returns to Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, September 24 – 26. “We have built a solid field for our 10th anniversary over the past month with commitments from Fred Couples, eight World Golf Hall of Famers, our past champions and other newcomers, and we couldn’t be happier,” said

Tournament Director Jeff Kleiber. “The additions of Crenshaw, Trevino and Fuzzy add to our field’s accomplishments and fun factor.” Crenshaw is a twotime Masters Tournament champion and a 19-time PGA TOUR winner. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2002. “Gentle Ben” won the 1972 NCAA individual championship at the University of Texas. Crenshaw is also a renowned golf course designer, whose recent work includes a redesign of the famous Pinehurst Resort No. 2 course. Trevino, a 1981 Hall of Fame inductee, is a familiar face to most golf fans and always a crowd pleaser. Throughout his illustrious career, Trevino has

amassed 29 PGA TOUR victories and 29 Champions Tour victories. Nicknamed “Merry Mex,” Trevino captured two U.S. Opens, two PGA Championships and two British Open titles during his career. The 5-foot-7 ball of fire is best known for his quick wit that makes players and galleries laugh, while commanding their respect at the same time. Zoeller is well known for having one of golf’s most engaging personalities but he is also a two-time major winner. Always a gallery favorite because of his humor and relaxed approach to the game, Zoeller has won 10 PGA TOUR titles and two Champions Tour tournaments in his career. His major titles came at the 1979 Masters and 1984 U.S. Open.

Sanchez scored a goal and had an assist. Bonardi scored the first goal of the game just eight minutes in on an assist from Arturo Aguirre, then a minute later Christian Navarro scored on an assist from Adolfo Torres. Following Sanchez’s

goal and the second from Bonardo, Ben Holt scored just before the half on an assist from Sanchez to give Southern a 5-0 lead at the break. Derrick Cannady and Rogelio Vivas each scored early in the second half as well on assists. Burman said he was most pleased with his team’s passing in the game. “It we keep passing, we’re going to be competitive,” he said.

past,â&#x20AC;? said Clint Bowyer, who just earned his Chase berth Saturday night at Richmond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all be able to give him a run for his money this year.â&#x20AC;? The overruling thought has always been that the championship is Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to lose, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done very little to give any indication that he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a realistic run at becoming the only active driver with five titles. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crossed winning at Bristol and winning on a road-course off his todo list this season, and despite an uncharacteristic four DNFs this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two of them came in a three-race span â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he still knocked down 14 top-10 finishes through 26 races. He went bumperto-bumper with Kevin Harvick, who built an impressive points lead during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;regular season,â&#x20AC;? and was tied with Denny Hamlin for the top seed in the Chase until Hamlin surged ahead with his series-best sixth win of the year Saturday night at Richmond. What did Johnson do? He grabbed his second straight third-place finish to roll into New Hampshire running very well. Yet he still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shake the perception that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vulnerable this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can draw conclusions however they want, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been one to play into any of that stuff,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. He learned that lesson in 2005, when he went battled Tony Stewart for the championship. He was mathematically in contention to win in the season finale at Homestead, but a blown tire knocked him out of the race, ending his title hopes with a thud after a tense 10 weeks that nearly destroyed his working relationship with crew chief Chad Knaus. In the years since, Johnson has focused only on his program and doing what he needs to do on the track. By letting it play out that way, Johnson has collected the last four titles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If guys think we are vulnerable, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my job to show up at Loudon, qualify on the pole and win the race,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not concerned about what people think of my race team and where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at and what kind of threat we are for the championship. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just more concerned about going out and getting the damn job done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With two good runs going into the Chase, my guys are ready, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready. We have got our mojo back.â&#x20AC;? That confidence should send shivers through the garage, but it so far has not. Instead, the challengers are headed into the

Chase with their own game plans, and knocking off Johnson is the top priority. For the first time in a long time, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slew of drivers that could potentially dethrone him. First up is Hamlin, who notoriously wrecked while leading at California last season when he saw Johnson in his rearview mirror. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made strides since then to toughen up, and if reliability doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become an issue, Hamlin has shown he can compete with Johnson. Harvick has given Johnson pause this season, as well. With all of Richard Childress Racing running much improved, Harvick grabbed three wins and showed the consistency and confidence needed to take command of the points standings. The re-seed following Richmond dropped him to third in the standings, 30 points behind Hamlin and 20 behind Johnson, but he likes his chances and has adopted Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude of a singular focus on only his race team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guy thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been on the top of my mind this year is (Harvick), doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter the track, they have been quick,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harvick has been the surprise this year, and maybe I took for granted how well Denny ran last year and (assumed) he would just be there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the reality to me, that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be one of the guys to race for it.â&#x20AC;? Johnson should be challenged from within Hendrick Motorsports by teammate Jeff Gordon, who although winless this year, was consistent enough to hold down the second spot in the standings for most of the season. He dropped 60 points behind Hamlin at the re-seed.

Turnovers key to Wolfpackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-0 start RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina State isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only taking care of the ball. The Wolfpack are taking it away, too. The Atlantic Coast Conference leaders in turnover margin have recovered three fumbles, intercepted three passes and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turned the ball over. Through two games, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost halfway to the 14 takeaways last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group had in all of 2009. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big reason why the Wolfpack (2-0) are unbeaten heading into this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Cincinnati (1-1), and are off to their best start since 2002. N.C. State forced five turnovers, recovering a key fumble deep inside Wolfpack territory with less than a minute left, to preserve last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 28-21 victory at Central Florida.

C.J. Wilson took one interception back 43 yards for a touchdown, and breakout linebacker Audie Cole also picked off a pass as part of his 12-tackle performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we had to find out exactly who and what we were on defense,â&#x20AC;? coach Tom Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly, winning the football game on defense, the way that it was won, was a great confidence-builder for the defense. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing that they needed on defense, to play with some confidence, especially the young kids.â&#x20AC;? That improvement on defense â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, of course, a navigable early schedule with games against Western Carolina and Central Florida â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is a big reason why the Wolfpack are off to a strong start. N.C. State leads the

ACC in total defense, allowing an average of 248 1/2 yards. Only Boston College (eight) has more takeaways than the Wolfpackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s led to a minor role reversal for N.C. State, which at times last year relied on dual-threat quarterback Russell Wilson and his set of big-play receivers to outscore and outgain teams. Wilson was just 10 for 30 for 105 yards while the offense gained just 65 of its 239 total yards in the second half against UCF. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything clicked, and everybody did their job and got it done,â&#x20AC;? defensive end Jeff Rieskamp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The defense this week played really good. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say the offense isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to have to pick us up at some point during the year.â&#x20AC;? But it does make for

welcome news for a defensive unit that last year was beleaguered by injuries and inexperience. With linebacker Nate Irving out for all of 2009 following a near-fatal car crash, the Wolfpack ranked in the bottom half of the league, allowing more than 361 total yards per game. The newest face â&#x20AC;&#x201D; blitz-happy linebackers coach Jon Tenuta â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has had plenty to do with their improvement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little different, and I think the hiring of (Tenuta) and the wealth of knowledge that he brings, his backgroundâ&#x20AC;? explains the change, Cincinnati coach Butch Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to challenge us, not only scheme-wise, but from a mentality and a physicality as well.â&#x20AC;?

UNC

possible starters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try to get him back into the flow of things,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a period of time over the last couple of weeks where because of the question of whether or not, if and when he would be available, some of his roles during practice had been significantly minimized.â&#x20AC;? UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running game struggled against LSU without its top two tailbacks, Draughn and senior Ryan Houston, as the Tar Heels gained just 24 yards on the ground. White got the starting nod but fumbled on the second play of the game and finished with eight carries for 29 yards. Elzy had 14 carries for 46 yards â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got banged up a little bit at running back last week and stretched our depth chart out pretty much as much as

possible,â&#x20AC;? said Yates, who only found out Draughn had been cleared after being told by reporters Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to have him back. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more depth, more explosiveness, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shown the past couple of years [that] heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extremely good runner.â&#x20AC;? Houston is one of the players whose eligibility remains uncertain, and Chancellor Holden Thorp said last week that no player would return to the field unless both the NCAA and the UNC Honor System have cleared him. Yates said the return

of Draughn is a morale boost for the Tar Heels, but he can understand if the running back is a bit annoyed he had to miss the season opener. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously a little frustrating for [the players held out who get cleared] and the whole situation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they kind of get the bad end of that,â&#x20AC;? Yates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be eager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know Shaun is going to be running like a madman out there. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doing it in practice the past couple of days, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to see him just absolutely go crazy in this game.â&#x20AC;?

available to the media until after Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, was the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starter for the first eight games of 2009 before a shoulder injury ended his season. He still finished as the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-leading rusher with 567 yards and one touchdown and was expected to start against LSU before he was held out while the school worked with the NCAA to determine his eligibility status. And while Draughn will be UNCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most experienced running back on the roster, Davis said the coaching staff has to decide what Draughnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role will be this week. He was listed third on the depth chart behind Johnny White and Anthony Elzy, who both were listed as

NFL talks to female reporter about Jets

BASEBALL

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After a summer in the spotlight, the Jets are under scrutiny again. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hard Knocksâ&#x20AC;? stars are being investigated by the NFL for the way Jets players and coaches carried on when they were visited by a female reporter from a Mexican TV network during the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice Saturday. Ines Sainz, of Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TV Azteca, said on her Twitter account Saturday that she felt â&#x20AC;&#x153;very uncomfortable!â&#x20AC;? in the Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; locker room, where a few players let loose with some â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whooo-weee!â&#x20AC;? catcalls as she waited with two male coworkers to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez, who is of Mexican descent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course you feel it when you are being stared at and when you are being spoken of in a certain way,â&#x20AC;? Sainz told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I opted to ignore it ... I tried to not even pay attention.â&#x20AC;? She tweeted in Spanish on Saturday night that she tried â&#x20AC;&#x153;not to look anywhere!!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an uncomfortable moment because you are in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dressing room and they are obviously changing clothes, showering â&#x20AC;&#x201D; doing what they do every day in the locker room,â&#x20AC;? Sainz said to the AP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So being a woman, obviously it was a bit uncomfortable.â&#x20AC;? Sainz also thanked supporters Monday on Twitter for their concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I already spoke to the NFL and it will be up to them to decide whether or not there will be consequences!!â&#x20AC;? she tweeted.

Sanders, Martin eligible for Hall CANTON, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Deion Sanders, Curtis Martin, Marshall Faulk and Jerome Bettis are among the first-year eligible candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class of 2011. In all, there are 113 modern-era nominees, the Hall announced Monday. From that list, Hall of Fame selectors will choose 25 as semifinalists; that group will be announced in November. The semifinalists will be reduced to 15 finalists and will be announced in early January. Election for the Hall takes place the day before the Super Bowl in February. Selected in August as senior nominees are former Redskins linebacker Chris Hanburger and former Rams linebacker Les Richter. Also on the modern era list as first-time nominees are Jimmy Smith, Willie Roaf and former coach Dick Vermeil.

Metsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Santana to have surgery Tuesday NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Johan Santana is set to have shoulder surgery Tuesday. The Mets say a second opinion given by noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews confirms that the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner has a torn anterior capsule on the front and bottom of his left shoulder and that surgery was the best course of action. Team doctor David Altchek will perform the operation in New York. The Mets had said Santana should be able to resume throwing next spring but there is no timetable for his return. This will be the third straight year that Santana will spend the offseason recovering from surgery. The 31year-old left-hander has three seasons remaining on his $137.5 million, six-year contract.

Panthers Continued from Page 1B

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? Fox said, defusing talk the Panthers might quickly turn to Clausen. But Moore, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak to reporters Monday, will have to pass numerous mandated tests under stricter concussion rules to be allowed back on the field, making it possible Clausen could

make his first NFL start in Week 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to go,â&#x20AC;? Clausen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, Matt is day to day right now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to prepare just like I prepared last week.â&#x20AC;? The former Notre Dame star, who fell to the Panthers in the second round of the draft, threw two incomplete passes from his own end zone with Carolina trailing by two scores in the final moments of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss after Moore was sidelined.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough situation, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we get paid to do,â&#x20AC;? Clausen said. Fox said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be confident if Clausen had to play against Tampa Bay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would be my expectation at any position with any backup,â&#x20AC;? Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the football team and whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury or whatever, we expect them to step him and do a good job.â&#x20AC;? Moore, who finished 4-1 as a starter last season

when Delhomme was sidelined with a broken finger, got off to a poor start in his first to open a season. He tossed an illadvised, floating pass into a sea of Giants players in the end zone on Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second possession for an interception. His best work came on a 2-minute drive at the end of the first half, when he completed 4 of 5 passes for 50 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith

to give Carolina a 16-14 halftime lead. But the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only points in the second half came on a safety, and Moore threw two more picks in the end zone. He finished 14 of 33 for 182 yards and a passer rating of 32.6 while facing constant pressure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t execute well enough in the pass game,â&#x20AC;? Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought there were opportunities, but there are a lot of moving parts to the pass game. We

Features Dear Abby

BRIDGE HAND

Widowed spouses rightfully find comfort in each other

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Discipline is what’s required to get through the upcoming year unscathed. Be honest with yourself and everyone around you. Don’t be afraid to show your emotions and to discuss what really matters to you. Open communication, kindness, understanding and compassion will lead you to success. Your numbers are 4, 11, 19, 24, 31, 38, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): A partnership can help you expand your interests and take on tasks you have not done in the past. Uncertainty regarding a job or career choice can be dealt with if you take control and make the necessary changes before someone makes a decision for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take care of any differences and move toward a better working relationship with colleagues and personal partners. Express your plans and intentions openly. You will learn a lot about the people around you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may find it hard to do what you say or live up to a promise made. Expect to be questioned about your whereabouts and intentions. Problems will surface with regard to partnerships. Concentrate on your domestic scene. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A power play at work will turn in your favor if you speak honestly about how you intend to proceed. A love relationship will flourish if you use a little charm and make special plans. A burden at home may cause worry. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotional situations due to something or someone from your past can ruin your day. Keep busy and make the most of your time. Serious consideration should be given to expanding an idea or a skill you haven’t developed fully. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

WORD JUMBLE

The Sanford Herald / Tuesday, September 14, 2010 / 5b

22): Don’t stop believing in yourself. Know in your heart that you are doing the best you can and that you will make the changes necessary when you are ready. Love is in the stars, so love the one you’re with. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stop limiting what you do or say when it’s vital that you are a participant. Lean toward creative ideas and plans that will set you apart from any competition. Take action and make things happen. SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): A passionate approach to whatever you do will be the direct link to your success. Don’t be afraid to take a different route if you feel it will enrich what you think or do about a situation you face. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep your thoughts a secret for now. Someone is looking for an excuse to criticize you. Expect alterations at home that will leave you in an awkward situation. Pushing back is likely to lead to an ultimatum. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Put pressure on anyone owing you money or favors. Don’t donate or lend possessions to anyone giving you a sob story. Run a tight ship and you will reap the rewards. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look for a new position or a way to subsidize your income. There is money to be made if you put one of your inventions or ideas to the test. A partner may question you regarding your intentions or whereabouts. Be honest but don’t incriminate yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stick to the truth and avoid conflict with anyone who could make your life difficult. Emotional problems will crop up if you exaggerate or lead someone on. A passionate encounter is apparent but make sure you are both free before you get involved.

DEAR ABBY: “Just Wondering in the Bay Area” (July 26) asked about proper protocol regarding dating after a spouse’s death. A recently widowed man was dating a widow from his wife’s circle of friends. The women were appalled and now shun the couple. Many men and women who lose a spouse have finished grieving by the time their loved one dies, especially those who suffered through a long illness like cancer. Everyone grieves differently, some in private and some by sharing time with others. It is only natural that two people who have both lost a spouse would find comfort in each other’s company; each knows the other understands what they’ve been through. Those who shared friendship before the deaths of their spouses have even more in common — enjoying the fond memories without feeling threatened. TRUE friends would be delighted in knowing that friends who suffered such catastrophic losses had found comfort and happiness with each other. If this is the kind of friendship these women have to offer, I’d say John and Peggy are better off without them. — SUSAN IN MINNESOTA DEAR SUSAN: Thank you for sharing your thoughtful viewpoint. Most of the responses I received suggested that these women should have put themselves in their friends’ shoes before shunning them. Read on:

happy. — HAPPY FOR MOM IN NORTH CAROLINA

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

DEAR ABBY: My husband’s first wife died about a month after my first husband, and after each of us had been married for more than 40 years. As members of the same church, we shared our experiences and began dating about two months after his wife’s death. We didn’t stop grieving; we grieved together. We were married 11 months later. No one realizes how devastating the loss of a spouse is until they have experienced it. — MARION IN MCHENRY, ILL. DEAR ABBY: My parents had been married more than 55 years when my father died this past May. Less than a month later, my mother was invited to lunch by a widower from her church. They are now an “item,” and I couldn’t be happier. My father was an emotionally and verbally abusive man who refused to change or get help for his obvious issues. My sibs and I are thrilled that Mom, at the age of 75, has finally found someone who will love and respect her and make her

DEAR ABBY: My grandfather remarried at the age of 94, three months after his wife died. The woman he married was a former neighbor. The relatives were in shock, but Grandpa was ecstatic! At his age, a month is valuable time, and he had the good fortune to “start again.” I would consider it a compliment if my husband were to marry a mutual friend. After watching my grandfather celebrate life anew, I realized that his second marriage was a testament to his love for my grandmother. — GRATEFUL IN OAKLAND, CALIF. DEAR ABBY: There is a saying in grief recovery which is appropriate: Women cry, men replace. In my experience, the happier the marriage, the more quickly men remarry. John and Peggy need support and understanding from their friends. They do not deserve to be shunned. — BEEN THERE IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: I believe that after one’s mate has passed, the “contract” is null and void. It’s HOW you lived your marriage that is significant. The speed at which you find someone to bring some joy into your life does not diminish the love of your late spouse. Life is too short for sackcloth and ashes. — BARBARA IN PITTSFIELD, MASS.

Odds and Ends Fla. deputies handcuff 7-foot gator near school OLDSMAR, Fla. (AP) — Deputies in Florida had to handcuff a rather unusual suspect — a 7-foot-long alligator. A crossing guard at a Tampa-area school spotted the gator lounging near an elementary school Monday morning around the time children would be walking to school. As she and three deputies waited for a trapper to arrive, the alligator started walking toward the children. Three deputies roped the gator’s neck and tail as the animal rolled and thrashed. Its tail broke off chunks of stucco from a nearby wall. Deputies later secured the gator’s mouth with electrical tape and handcuffed its hind legs. Florida Fish and Wildlife officials took custody of the animal until the trapper arrived.

Wis. police: Street musician hit man with guitar MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin police say a street musician apparently upset by criticism of his music bashed a man over the head with his guitar, slammed another person into a wall and wrestled with an officer before being arrested. Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain tells The Capital Times that 31-year-old Brandin Hochstrasser, known as “Bongo Jesus,” was performing Thursday when a 54-year-old man knocked his music. DeSpain says the two argued and police were called when Hochstrasser began hitting his critic with his guitar. DeSpain says Hochstrasser then charged

Armenia produces world’s biggest chocolate bar YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) — Anyone looking for huge amounts of free chocolate should book a flight to Armenia’s capital next month. That’s when the world’s largest chocolate bar will be up for grabs in Yerevan’s main square. The Guinness Book of World Records certified the 9,702-pound (4,410kilogram) chocolate bar at a ceremony Saturday. It was made by Grand Candy factory and contains all natural ingredients, including 70 percent cocoa mass. The chocolate bar is 224 inches (560 centimeters) long, 110 inches (275 centimeters) wide and 10 inches (25 centimeters) thick.

Norwegian newsreader quits in live radio broadcast OSLO, Norway (AP) — A Norwegian radio journalist quit on the air after complaining about her job and saying she wouldn’t read the day’s news because “nothing important has happened” anyway. Pia Beathe Pedersen accused her employers at the regional radio station of public broadcaster NRK of putting too much pressure on the staff. Pedersen said in the live Saturday broadcast that she was “quitting and walking away” because she “wanted to be able to eat properly again and be able to breathe.” See answer, page 2A

Try to see yourself the way God does Q: All my life I’ve felt like I’m not worth anything. Some counseling has helped me understand why I feel this way (because my parents constantly told me I’d never amount to anything). But just knowing this doesn’t make me feel any better. Do you have any suggestions? -- C.A. A: The most important thing I can urge you to do is to see yourself the way God sees you. So far in life, you’ve looked at yourself through the eyes of your parents. Now begin seeing yourself the way God sees you. How does God see you? He sees you as someone who is very valuable to Him. You were valuable enough for Him to give you life -- but most of all, you were valuable enough for Him to send His only Son into the world to bring you into His family. You are so valuable, in fact, that Jesus Christ willingly gave His life for you. If you had been the only person on earth who needed to be saved, Christ still would have given His life for you. God loves you that much! God doesn’t love us because we’re perfect, or because we have it all together (as the expression goes). We aren’t perfect, and we don’t have it all together! But God loves us anyway -- just as we are. The Bible says, “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Confess your sins and your doubts to God. Then ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and begin making you into a new person -- and He will.
