OBAMA ON IRAQ: ‘TURN THE PAGE’

SANFORD — If Lee County Schools has its way, high school honors and AP classrooms are about to get a lot fuller. The county’s three middle schools have implemented a new initiative for the 2010-2011 year that Superintendent of Lee County Schools Jeff Moss describes as “a game-changer.” Rather than relying on teacher judgment to determine which

eighth-grade students should be placed in Algebra I, the schools will use a formula for determining the probability of student success. The same approach will

also be used to place eighth graders in high school level English I. “When I looked at the data this spring and compared it to the probability of students that

would have been successful in those classes, there was a huge disconnect,” Moss said. Lee County Schools uses the Education Value-Added Assessment System from the SAS Institute to examine the effectiveness of students’ schooling experiences. The software details performance patterns and predicts the probability of student success.

SANFORD — Lee County economic recruiters presented a sobering but brightening outlook on the county’s economic situation to local government leaders Tuesday. Lee Economic Development Corporation Director Bob Heuts told officials from Sanford, Broadway and Lee County governments that 2010 business activity remained in a lull compared to two years ago, but recent events indicate the tide may be turning. “It seems to be picking up at the state and the regional level,” Heuts said. Heuts’ comments came during the first of four yearly meetings between the county’s economic recruiter and its government stakeholders. The meetings emerged from months of deliberation on how to reform the EDC and improve communication. Heuts and members of the EDC’s steering board pointing out that two years ago the nonprofit agency would have counted as many as 70 meetand-greet visits or exchanges with corporate entities seeking to expand or settle locally, but that number dwindled to 55 in 2009 and is on track for a similar finish in 2010. But Heuts touted recent successes, including construction giant Caterpillar’s move to expand its Sanford plant and add 325 new jobs, as evidence that the agency’s often-controversial tax incentives for companies are working. “Learn forward on every proj-

IN THE CLEANING BUSINESS Healthier skin big reason for family-owned soap business By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com

BROADWAY — In her development as an artisan, Gini Farnham’s best teacher has been trial and error. “I’m self-taught; I had to do a lot of research,” the Broadway resident said. “I’ve had a lot of failures. When I find something that works, I stick with it.” Farnham, the proprietor of Farnham Soaps, runs her family-owned business out of her home. When she began her soap-making enterprise six years ago, she was looking for a remedy to a common problem. “I had just turned 40, and needless to say, that’s getting close to the change of life,” said the mother of two daughters. “Your skin isn’t what it used to be.” As she started making and using her own soaps, she said, “I found people noticed my skin being healthier and I was not needing to wear makeup to cover blemishes. They started asking me how I did it.” The secret, according to the artisan, is in the ingredients. Farnham crafts all of her products by hand, and each is made with all-natural materials. For example, lye is the main ingredi-

Gini Farnham of Broadway is owner of Farnham Soaps, a family-run business from her home. ent in her soaps — which contain other natural additives like goatsmilk or plant-based oils. “I buy the bases pre-made, then I adjust them,” Farnham said. She routinely uses emu oil in her products, which has moisturizing properties. Over time, Farnham has added solid lotions, scrubs and other products and to her line. When store-bought products failed to cure “a bad fever blister,” she created her own lip balms that are not petroleum based. “Everything I use is food grade,” she said.

“You could take one of my bars of soap and brush your teeth with it and it wouldn’t hurt you.” Farnham takes an allnatural approach to all of her passions. Because she prefers the feel of natural fibers, she spins her own yarn from the hair of three alpacas her family owns. “With alpacas, as soon as you shear, you can start spinning it,” she said. “It’s warmer than wool and hypoallergenic.” She has been known to use unconventional means to dye the yarn — including Kool Aid.

The Farnham’s recycle everything they can around their own home, and Gini has also helped her children’s schools reduce waste. Her initiative to reuse broken crayons, which she calls Re-Crayon, arose from economic necessity. “Money is tight for everyone, and I saw we needed to send items to school for the ‘prize bucket,’” Farnham said. “I have medical bills to pay, and I thought ‘You’re an artist — think of something.” Using molds she already owned for soap making, Farnham melted and reformed the crayon wax into shapes like cherubs, puzzle pieces and leaves. She offers ReCrayon to local schools in exchange for a donation of discarded crayons and ziploc baggies to package the new creations. Farnham makes the crayons outside on what she calls a “solar oven” — which consists of a cooler topped with a pane of glass. “I don’t use one stitch of electricity to make these,” she said. Farnham’s commitment to being environmentally friendly even extends to her soap packaging, which is made from biodegradable coffee filters. According to her friend Donna Bray, “There’s nothing that she won’t try.” “She’ll research something,” Bray said, “and 99 percent of the time, it’ll turn out OK.” One exception was Farnham’s foray

into glasswork, which ended because of the threat of fires and burns. As a person, according to Bray, “(Farnham) is outgoing, full of compassion. She would give you the clothes off of her back if you needed them.” Farnham gives away much of what she makes — including one large donation she makes to a nursing home at the end of each year. As a business, she said, “sometimes it pays bills, and sometimes it doesn’t.” Because she doesn’t have a dedicated store, Farnham makes sales via the Internet, including on etsy.com and artfire.com, and also through events like the Broadway Our Way Festival. Going forward, she would like her operation to stay small enough that she can still handle it on her own. “It’s always evolving,” Farnham said, “but I don’t think it’ll ever get out of being a hobby because I like it so much.”

N.C. should have pursued jobs program Winston-Salem Journal

n an economy like this, even a temporary job can help a family. That’s why North Carolina’s failure to aggressively pursue a short-term federal-jobs program is so disappointing. The jobs that North Carolina government agencies did not try to secure certainly would have helped many families pay bills and rebuild reserves. As part of the stimulus package, the federal government was willing to directly cover the wages of people who worked either for small businesses or local governments. Across the country, about 130,000 low-

income adults got jobs. The program will expire at the end of September, and it is not clear if the Congress will renew it. In North Carolina, only about 1,000 people got jobs. Local government officials told McClatchy Newspapers that they were reluctant to run the program because it did not come with money to pay administrators. The program demanded considerable oversight and planning. It appears almost certain that new county employees would have had to be hired for, or that existing employees reassigned to, this task. If the local officials are right,

then it appears that the Congress established a program that was sure to fail. Local governments got only a short time to get their programs operating, and there were considerable restrictions on eligibility. As one county manager said in news reports, it was a case of “false economics” for the government agencies. Nineteen states generated a sizable number of jobs this way, however, and they dealt with what North Carolina officials considered bad terms from the federal government. In those states, it appears that local governments were more willing to spend their money and time to

get jobs, albeit temporary ones, for some of their most difficult to employ residents. There is some speculation that the national economy will enter a second dip of recession. If the recovery stalls completely and we head back into recession, then there will be considerable political pressure to renew jobs programs such as this one. If Congress does so, it must reduce some of the bureaucracy demanded of local governments. Their budgets are strained right now. But North Carolina’s local governments must also be more enthusiastic about participating.

Look back at 1940

’ve always enjoyed newspapers — and that includes looking at editions of years past. As I began looking back at some Sanford Herald’s from the first few months of the year 1940, there were some interesting findings. There was a list of Sanford business and civic leaders, including W.R. Hartness, Frank Hamilton, H.I. Ogburn, C.H. Fleming, W.L. Simmons, K.E. Seymour, J.R. Dalrymple, Phil C. Yarborough, Melvin S. Harris, W.M. Holt, Max McLeod, W.F. Olmsted, S.B. Jones, Frank L. Baber, Dela F. Harris Jr., Neill A. Cole, R.H. Mann, Johnny & Herbert Goldston, W.F. Chears, C.H. Wicker, A.H. McIver, A. Glenn Buchanan and Fred H. McBryde. A&P Food Stores offered three bars of Octagon soap for 10 cents, an 8-oz. package of macaroni or spaghetti for 5 cents and a dozen fancy apples for 20 cents. Efird’s Department Store had women’s dress coats for $16.50 and $18.50. There was a report of financial transactions of the town of Sanford, with a budget estimate of $129,170.30. The Progressive Super Market had T-bone steak for 25 cents per pound, pork chops for 19 cents per pound and three large cans of milk for 20 cents. There was a Frasier Motor Company ad that talked about the Hudson Eight prices starting at $860. “Gone With The Wind” was the movie playing at the Temple Theatre. Some other Sanford area merchants of the era included Seaboard Mills, Fleming’s Produce House, Mann’s Hardware House, Gaines Shoe Shop, Moses and Gaddy Barber Shop and National Bank of Sanford.

Upcoming events This Friday will be the continuation of the Lee County-Southern Lee football rivalry, with this year’s game being played at Southern Lee.

Speaking of support, make sure to attend the annual Kiwanis Pancake Supper that will be held before the game from 5 to 7:30 p.m. in the Southern Lee cafeteria. Tickets are $5 — with tickets available at the door. And, don’t forget about the upcoming J.

s Israeli and Palestinian peace talks are scheduled to resume in Washington in a few days, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that Palestinian recognition of Israel as the Jewish homeland is an essential condition for peace. Completely reasonable, yet don’t keep your fingers crossed, especially with the Obama administration’s attitude toward Israel. In my new book, “Crimes Against Liberty,” I dedicate an entire chapter to detailing the Obama administration’s horrendous and unprecedented mistreatment of Israel. Can you believe we’re even having a discussion about Israel’s right to the land six-plus decades and numerous wars after the modern Israeli state was restored to the Jews? It’s bad enough when misfit countries oppose Israel’s right to existence and always demonize Israel while downplaying the Palestinians’ misdeeds, but it’s shocking and disturbing when the president of the United States abuses our greatest ally in the Mideast. It’s mystifying to me that so many Jewish people in America have been so tolerant of Obama’s behavior toward Israel, almost as if in denial, but what more evidence do we need? During the campaign, it was widely suspected that Obama had strong ties with pro-Palestinian groups, not to mention his membership in the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church — one that is known for its sympathy for the causes of certain terrorist organizations and the Palestinian position. The Los Angeles Times reportedly possessed and protected a damning video of Obama toasting Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative and an outspoken Israel critic who, after the 9/11 attacks, referred to the media’s “hysteria about suicide bombers.” Obama’s official campaign website, Organizing for America, permitted the posting of a blog entry titled “How the Jewish Lobby Works.” Though the post was eventually removed, it’s suspicious that someone with posting privileges had these virulently anti-Semitic views. The post said: “No lobby is feared more or catered to by politicians than the Jewish Lobby. If a politician does not play ball with the Jewish Lobby, he will not get elected, or re-elected, and he will either be smeared or ignored by the Jewish-owned major media.” NewsBusters cited numerous other links to similar anti-Jewish posts on the website, showing this was not an isolated event. How does one explain away that kind of climate in the bowels of the administration? Once elected, Obama appointed James Jones as his national security adviser, a man The Lid said is “not known as a friend of the Jewish State.” Jones assembled a team that reportedly intended to be tougher and “impose a solution on” Israel. Early in his term, Obama pledged more than $900 million to rebuild Gaza and to shore up the Palestinian Authority. The rationale was to strengthen Palestinian moderates, but many experts warned that much of this money could get into the hands of Hamas and other terrorist organizations.

David Limbaugh Columnist David Limbaugh is a columnist with Creators Syndicate

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gratuitously denounced Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in Gaza while ignoring the many Palestinian sins against Israel. The administration also demanded that Israel negotiate with Syria — a primary sponsor of Hezbollah — just two days after Syrian foreign minister Walid Mueller praised a speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling Israel “the most cruel and repressive racist regime.” The administration has also applied fierce pressure on Israel to acquiesce on the matter of the creation of a Palestinian state, even to the point of conditioning our efforts to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions on that Israeli concession. Obama directed our return to the U.N. Human Rights Council, which the Bush administration had left nine months before because the council had incessantly condemned Israel while ignoring the abuses of Mideast dictatorships. Obama snubbed Netanyahu and announced he would discontinue the established practice of hosting Israeli prime ministers when they are in Washington. Obama’s Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, adopted the controversial 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, which called for Israel to withdraw from east Jerusalem, the entire West Bank and Golan Heights and also for Israel to accept the influx of millions of foreign Arabs as Israeli citizens as part of the “right of return.” Mideast expert Caroline Glick says this would mean “Israel would effectively cease to be a Jewish state.” Vice President Biden engaged in a public temper tantrum and harshly “condemned” Israel for not bowing to the administration’s demands that it discontinue its settlements in east Jerusalem. Rarely does the United States publicly condemn an ally, especially in such harsh terms. We’re just scratching the surface, but surely you get the picture. There is, however, one gratifying development in this ongoing saga. Finally, some Jewish Americans have had enough and are speaking up. As I chronicle in the book, former New York Mayor Ed Koch wrote two scathing editorials against Obama’s appalling policies and called out his fellow Jews to speak up against them. Amazingly, Obama’s stalwart supporter Sen. Chuck Schumer finally joined Koch in pushing back. Others, not just American Jews, need to wake up.

Letters to the Editor They already tax us from cradle to grave; we don’t need inheritance tax To the Editor: In response to Mr. Neal’s letter on July 23 ... We receive our pay check or what is left of it after all the taxes, Social Security, etc. have been deducted, but this is only the beginning. We pay taxes for the privilege of eating (sales tax on food), drinking (sales tax on beverages, even bottled water), the privilege of driving a car (sales tax on purchase, tax on gas to run it, fluids and lubricants) and a tax for driving on the highways, (through license plates, inspections, etc.). We pay taxes for the clothes on our backs and shoes on our feet. We pay property taxes on our homes and land, the bed we sleep in and the chair we sit on while we watch the TV we paid taxes on. We pay taxes on the programing coming through that TV and taxes on the telephone to stay in touch with the kids ... and the electricity to run it all. If you’re blessed to be able to go on a vacation, there is tax on the airfare, tax on the hotel you stay in, the entertainment you enjoy and the food you eat. There are taxes on medication to keep you healthy and the soap, deodorant, toothpaste and detergent to keep you clean. There are taxes on your glasses so you can see, your hearing aid so you can hear and your dentures so you can eat. And then after all that, when it come time to die, they tax your coffin, the suit you wear, the flowers on your casket, the ground they plant you in and the tombstone they place over you. To add insult to injury, they sock your heirs with an inheritance tax on what you have left and what you intended to leave to those you love. Often this turns out to be a headache for them instead of a blessing. I’m sure somewhere, there is a politician trying to figure out how to tax us for the streets of gold, the gates of pearl and our flight to heaven. Inheritance tax is an unfair and unjust double dipping on people who have been taxed from the cradle to the grave and then some. We are being taxed for dying since they will no longer have us around to tax on all the above. I agree with Mr. Neal, but for those people who have worked, planned, saved, invested and put back into the economy, our unemployment rate would be a lot higher and our economy would come to a screeching halt.

Thanks for not shying away from religion To the Editor: I would like to echo the feelings of the author of the recent letter to the editor about publishing religious material in The Herald. I am very proud and very grateful that my hometown newspaper does not leave God out of things, is not afraid to publish “Today’s Prayer” or shy away from giving the Christian view. I am sure that is why your paper has been blessed all these years and continues to grow. It is a wonderful newspaper and gets better and better. CAROL THOMAS Sanford

CHATHAM COUNTY

Treatment facility plan on agenda PITTSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chatham County invites residents to a community meeting at 7 p.m. Sept. 8 at the Moncure Fire Station to learn more about a plan proposed by a partnership of four towns in western Wake County to construct a regional wastewater treatment facility. The plan involves a discharge line that would cut through a section of southeastern Chatham County. The meeting will include an overview of the project, exhibits and time for attendees to ask questions. Chatham County Commissioner Chairwoman Sally Kost will introduce the meeting. A representative of the Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management

Partnership will provide the project details. The towns involved in the partnership are Cary, Apex, Morrisville and Holly Springs. All would be served by the proposed facility. Although Chatham County would not receive wastewater services through the facility, the project would require construction of a discharge line to carry treated water from the wastewater system to the Cape Fear River. Several miles of this line would cut through areas of Chatham County near New Hill and Merry Oaks, continuing southward near Christian Chapel Road and Buckhorn Road to the Buckhorn Dam on the Cape Fear River. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main purpose of this meeting is to listen to what residents have to say about the project, especially the proposed discharge line,â&#x20AC;? said Kost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is particularly important because the commissioners will have to vote at some point on providing access for the discharge line in our county.â&#x20AC;? Vice Chairman George Lucier said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Western Wake Partners have requested approval by Chatham County for the discharge line through 8.1 miles of Chatham County. We have not acted on this request because we want to hear from our residents before we respond to that requestâ&#x20AC;? The partnership was initiated in 2002 with a regional study that also involved Wake County and FuquayVarina. The study results led the four partner towns to move forward with plans to construct the treatment facilities to serve their communities until 2030. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Durham Herald-Sun

MOORE COUNTY

Jail opponents call for referendum CARTHAGE (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Resistance to a proposed jail has resurfaced in recent weeks, stirring opponents who say the public should be allowed to vote on whether to take on up to $40 million in debt. The proposal would borrow $50 million to pay for a jail, sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department, dispatch center and several water projects. Because of the type of bonds being used, the debt does not require voter approval. The issue has started a fractious debate among county commissioners, who are split 3-2. Chairman Tim Lea and Vice Chairwoman Cindy Morgan support a referendum. Commissioners Larry Caddell, Jimmy Melton and Nick Picerno have voted against putting the issue before voters. On Thursday, Lea blasted his three opponents on the board, likening their positions to the toxic political environment in Washington and Raleigh. He asked all commissioners to justify their positions. Given the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget hurdles, he said, $50 million is such a large debt that residents deserve to get a vote. Leaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments came during a meeting with Seven Lakes residents concerning water and zoning issues. Picerno said Monday he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate Lea taking over the Seven Lakes meeting but held firm to his vote

to move forward with the project. On June 21, commissioners voted 3-2 to approve up to $50 million in limited obligation bonds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $40 million of which is for the 192-bed jail, sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and emergency dispatch center. Several dozen people, mostly from Carthage, attended that meeting to oppose the proposed jail. They criticized its location in town, its size and its cost. Morgan offered an amendment that would send the bond issue to voters. Lea joined her, but the move was voted down 3-2. Morgan offered the same amendment again at an Aug. 16 meeting. The result was the same 3-2 vote against a referendum. Picerno said that he would not have opposed a referendum if it had been brought up before the June 21 meeting. However, he said, the project has been in the works for years and the jail is in desperate need of expansion. In July, he said, the jail had a maximum of 141 inmates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 30 more than capacity. Regardless of whether voters approve borrowing the money for a new jail, the county still needs one, Picerno said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is not going away,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be fixed or the state will come in and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You do it anyway.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153; John Marcum, a Pinehurst resident and tea party member who organized a forum late Tuesday night, said $50 million is too much debt to take on without the approval of voters. However, one thing that each of the commissioners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Marcum â&#x20AC;&#x201D; agree on is that in the end, Moore County needs a new jail.

Honors Continued from Page 1A

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We told the middle school teachers in June that every child in the 70 percent probability group should be enrolled in Algebra I and English I,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. Last year, 162 eighth graders took Algebra I and none took English I. This year, 394 eighth graders are taking Algebra I, and 327 eighth graders are taking English I. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The increase in the number of middle school students taking Algebra I and English I is our commitment to raising expectations to prepare all students for high school and beyond,â&#x20AC;? said Andy Bryan, associate superintendent of curriculum and instruction. By opening up Algebra I and English I to more students in middle school, the program aims to increase minority participation in upper-level classes in high school. Moss said Lee County high schools have seen a decrease in minority enrollment in honors and AP classes. The schools hope to remedy that with the EVAAS success probability formula and the work of educator Ruby Payne,

which focuses on breaking through negative perceptions and biases about minority and low-income students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some of the students, the conditions that they live in can affect their schooling, both in how they perform and how teachers approach their education,â&#x20AC;? Bryan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to set up an atmosphere that is conducive to helping all kids be successful.â&#x20AC;? Middle school math teachers are used to teaching Algebra I on a smaller scale, but the English teachers reviewed the curriculum with Southern Lee High School English teacher Chris Dossenbach to prepare for English I. Tina Poltrock, director of secondary education, said she expects that collaboration to continue, and she hopes more students participating in advanced middle school classes will also affect education in other grades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it could also impact elementary schools, because those students will need to be ready to take the advanced middle school classes,â&#x20AC;? Poltrock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once they get to be juniors and seniors in high school, they can take more rigorous courses.â&#x20AC;?

EDC Continued from Page 1A

ect that comes up,â&#x20AC;? urged Donny Hunter, chairman of the EDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piloting Economic Development Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of looking at it as a cost, look at it as a value.â&#x20AC;? Heuts added that manufacturers like Dutchbased Axxor, Parkdale Mills, Frontier Spinning and Challenge Printing could be adding another 80-plus jobs if they opt to settle or expand in Sanford. Of the other projects in the air for EDC talks now, Heuts said companies could bring between 20 to 450 new jobs and invest from $20 million to $200 million in the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of momentum going on right now,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said. Heuts also pointed to a recent report from the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina that tracked nearly a full percentage

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My chin hit the floor when I saw it in person for the first time,â&#x20AC;? Bullis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it.â&#x20AC;? Bullis is a huge movie enthusiast who keeps the pool hall decorated with posters from Paul Newman films and pictures of classic Hollywood stars shooting pool. In the back room with his cars, he has a framed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public Enemiesâ&#x20AC;? movie poster alongside the original wanted poster for John Dillinger, which he purchased on Ebay. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been a car collector for about 20 years, and a car enthusiast for

even longer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was a kid, my mother worked at a beauty shop, and one day I was waiting outside when a big trailer came up with Bonnie and Clydeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death car in it,â&#x20AC;? Bullis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of like a carnival thing on tour, and you could pay a dollar to see it.â&#x20AC;? Bullis hopes other â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godfatherâ&#x20AC;? fans will visit Speakeazy Billiards to see the car. He has encountered fans of all ages, and he said he is thrilled to be able to share one of the most famous props from his all-time favorite movie

point drop in the unemployment rate from June to July for economically ailing Lee County, even before Caterpillar has begun hiring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I could tell you that the EDC was responsible, but I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go that far,â&#x20AC;? Heuts said. Much of Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting focused on the EDC outlook, but government leaders asked a handful of questions, including pointed calls to audit the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial transactions from outspoken incentives critic and Lee Commissioner Linda Shook. Lee County Manager John Crumpton said he would back a yearly audit for the nonprofit or certified financial reports to keep track of EDC activities. The EDC is considered a separate agency from Broadway, Sanford and Lee County governments, but it is funded with government money. Lee Board of Commissioners Chairman Richard Hayes said the audit talks

were not an indication that officials suspected dirty dealings within the corporation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of accountability,â&#x20AC;? Shook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about millions of dollars.â&#x20AC;? Heuts said EDC officials would discuss the possibility of an audit at a later session. Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting also included questioning about the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard practices in meeting with corporations, as well as the EDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities as it relates to recruitment of manufacturing or small businesses. Heuts said the EDC could launch a committee to look into small business or retail work, although the group primarily looks to manufacturing because industrial jobs typically fetch higher wages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to keep our eyes on the prize,â&#x20AC;? he said. EDC officials are expected to provide monthly and annual reports to government leaders.

with the Sanford community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I honestly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I could ever give it up,â&#x20AC;? Bullis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a new toy right now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the crown jewel.â&#x20AC;?

Shootout Continued from Page 1A

Gillis, over a woman the two men had both dated, Capt. Jeff Johnson said. Investigators said the woman, 30-year-old Amber Denise Garner of 1382 Buckhorn Road in Sanford, was traveling with Gillis in a vehicle when Swann followed them back to Gillisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home. Johnson said Garner got into Swannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Volvo once they arrived at the Broadway Road residence and then the shooting began. Swann and Gillis are both alleged to have fired guns during the shooting, deputies said. No one was injured in the altercation, but Swann was later tracked down about two miles from the home in Sanford. Deputies said they found a pistol and narcotics in Swannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle, and Garner was a passenger in the car.

STATE BRIEFS A baker’s dozen file for open appeals court job

RALEIGH (AP) — Voters will have a lot of names to consider when they look at the ballot for the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Thirteen candidates filed to run for one judgeship vacated recently by Judge Jim Wynn before a one-week filing period ended late Tuesday afternoon. Five signed up on the final day alone. The candidates include Cressie Thigpen, whom Gov. Beverly Perdue chose to replace Wynn through December, former Court of Appeals Judge Doug McCullough and former state Labor Commissioner Harry Payne. The number of candidates means voters must use instant runoff voting to choose a winner on Nov. 2. The voters rank their top three candidates in order of preference. Second-place votes are counted if no one gets a majority of first-place votes.

Man dies after lawn mower pins him in pond

CLEVELAND (AP) — A North Carolina man has died after a riding lawn mower pinned him underwater for almost half an hour. The Salisbury Post reported 53-year-old Genovevo Garcia of Cleveland drowned Monday at a farm where he was mowing grass along the edge of a pond. Farm owner Bill Russell says the mower tipped over and rolled into the water on top of Garcia. Russell says he saw Garcia fall into the pond and drove his four-wheeler over to the water to help. But he couldn’t move the mower. Firefighters used a pulley system made of Russell’s fourwheeler, a rope and a nearby tree to remove the mower. Garcia was pronounced dead at Davis Regional Medical Center in Statesville.

No new judge for Florida man in killing of N.C. trooper

NEWTON (AP) — The Florida man accused of killing a North Carolina state trooper more than two years ago won’t get a new judge for his trial. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported a Superior Court judge ruled Monday that Edwardo Wong of Ormond Beach, Fla., failed to prove that Superior Court Judge Nathaniel Poovey would be unable to rule impartially. Wong asked for a new judge last week, saying Poovey violated Wong’s right to the attorney-client relationship by giving legal advice in a private meeting with the judge and an outside attorney. Wong is charged with firstdegree murder in the 2008 shooting death of Trooper David Shawn Blanton Jr. during a traffic stop on Interstate 40 near Canton. Twelve jurors have been selected and attorneys are selecting three alternates for the trial, which is being held in Newton.

Auditors to review police officer’s cases

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Auditors are investigating after a detective with the police department in North Carolina’s largest city has admitted throwing away notes in the case of a suspect accused of killing two police officers. The Charlotte Observer reported that auditors will examine most cases involving Arvin Fant, a 12-year veteran with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. Fant said in court last week that he threw away notes in Demeatrius Montgomery’s case and copied others to pass off as his own. Montgomery is on trial, charged with killing two officers in 2007 when Fant was a detective. Montgomery’s

defense attorneys say those notes could contain evidence of a possible second suspect. Police Capt. Brian Cunningham said Monday the auditors will review every case on which Fant was the lead detective.

Former top general is software firm’s new chairman RALEIGH (AP) — A former chairman of the U.S. military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff is taking over as chairman of North Carolina software company Red Hat Inc. The Raleigh company says its board of directors elected retired Army Gen. Hugh Shelton as its chairman to succeed former CEO Matthew Szulik. Shelton has been a member of Red Hat’s board of directors since 2003. The North Carolina native served in the Special Forces in Vietnam and commanded the 82nd Airborne Division and the 18th Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg before becoming joint chiefs chairman in 1997. Shelton retired from the Army in 2001. Red Hat makes open-source software primarily for business customers.

Film festival returns to original college home DURHAM (AP) — A documentary film festival that will show nearly 100 films is returning to its original home in North Carolina. The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival is once again part of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University in Durham. The CDS will provide an institutional home for the festival, and will continue to operate out of its off-campus offices with the same staff and budget. Full Frame began in 1998 as the DoubleTake Documentary Film Festival, which was a project of the center. It became Full Frame five years later and operated as an independent nonprofit. The four-day festival will be held April 14-17, 2011.

Fire department saving rainwater to wash trucks RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina fire department is saving rainwater to wash its trucks. The News & Observer reported Tuesday that the Raleigh Fire Department has installed cisterns to catch rainfall at nine of its fire stations, plus one county station and an ambulance facility. The cisterns will collect water that runs off the rooftops of the station. The water will be used to wash fire trucks as well as for irrigation and other jobs where clean drinking water isn’t needed. Officials hope to save more than 100,000 gallons of drinking water annually by using the rain. Much of the money for the project comes from federal stimulus funds.

N.C. Republicans kick off fall legislative races RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Republican candidates gearing up for legislative elections say they’ll reduce both taxes and spending if they take control of both chambers of the General Assembly. State GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer stood surrounded by candidates for the House and Senate as part of a campaign kickoff event Tuesday at party headquarters in Raleigh. The House hasn’t been solely in Republican hands since 1998. Democrats have controlled the Senate since 1898. House Minority Leader Paul Stam told supporters legislative Democrats have spent too many tax dollars during the recession and banked a recovery on creating government jobs.

Officials probe 10 infant deaths By TOM BREEN Associated Press Writer

FORT BRAGG (AP) — The mysterious deaths of two infants at the same home within three months of each other has prompted a probe into eight other unexplained infant deaths at the Fort Bragg Army base since January 2007, the military said Tuesday. At a news conference at the base, military leaders say they don’t suspect foul play in any of the deaths, and are conducting tests of the air, building materials and other elements at the onbase housing where the deaths occurred. So far, though, investigators have not found any link between the deaths since the probe was ordered earlier this summer, according to Christopher Grey, spokesman for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command. “There are no commonalities that we’ve found thus far,” he said. The vast base, adjacent to Fayetteville is home to the U.S. Army Airborne and Special Forces. About 45,000 people live on the base, including about 6,200

families, according to Col. Stephen Sicinski, the garrison commander. The probe began after investigators noted the deaths of two infants from different families in 2009 at the same address. The first child died in April of last year. Another family moved into the home after the death, and their infant died in July. A third infant who lived at that address died in 2007, but the death is believed to have occurred at a baby-sitting service off the base. Neither the identities of the children nor the addresses where they died were disclosed by the Army. Grey said that information will remain confidential during the investigation. The house where the two deaths occurred is vacant, and will remain unoccupied until the causes are determined, according to Brig. Gen. Michael Garrett, chief of staff of the 18th Airborne Corps. “We cannot explain two deaths of children at one address, and that’s really the problem we’re trying to solve,” Garrett said. That anomaly, though,

prompted officials at the base to order a review of unexplained infant deaths since January 2007. The 10 deaths being examined are among infants ranging in age from two weeks to eight months. One was attributed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, seven were ruled “undetermined” by medical examiners with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and two remain under investigation. All of the deaths may ultimately be attributable to SIDS, a rare but well-established diagnosis in cases where children younger than a year old die without any apparent cause. But that determination can only be made after an autopsy, examination of the death scene and thorough review of the child’s medical history. Even something as common as a persistent cold can be enough to cause medical examiners to rule a death “unexplained” rather than attribute it to SIDS, said Col. Jeffrey Kingsbury, a physician and chief of preventive medicine at Womack Army Medical Center, located on the

base. “If you find anything, a runny nose, then you can’t call it SIDS,” he said. Part of the investigation aims to determine whether 10 deaths in just under four years is itself an alarming departure from the norm. That’s complicated by the fact that it’s hard to establish how many infants are living on the base at any one time. There are about 3,000 babies born every year at Womack, Sicinski said, which makes it the busiest maternity hospital in the U.S. military. But an unknown number of babies are born elsewhere and move to Bragg with their families. Nationally, the rate is about .5 SIDS deaths per 1,000 live births, according to the American SIDS Institute. Investigators, meanwhile, are looking to determine whether environmental factors could have played a role in the infants’ deaths. Grey said the investigation has considered everything from the presence of Chinese drywall in the homes to black mold, but has found evidence of neither.

RALEIGH

DA: 4 death row cases should be reviewed By MARTHA WAGGONER Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — The four death row cases included in a review of the staterun crime lab should get further scrutiny, the president of the N.C. Conference of District Attorneys said Tuesday. Seth Edwards, who also is a district attorney in eastern North Carolina, said he doesn’t believe a review needs to go any further than those four cases. They were among 190 cases that an independent review of

the blood unit at the State Bureau of Investigation crime lab found should be examined. “If there’s a person on death row whose case did not even appear on this list of 190 cases, as far as I’m concerned there is no issue in that case,” Edwards said. The government-ordered review of the crime lab by two former Federal Bureau of Investigation officials found that SBI agents helped prosecutors obtain convictions over a 16-year period, mostly by misrepresent-

ing blood evidence and keeping critical notes from defense attorneys. The review arose from testimony by an SBI agent at an innocence hearing that resulted in the exoneration and release of Greg Taylor, who had served almost 17 years in prison for the death of a Raleigh woman. One of the four death row prisoners is Terry Lee Ball, who was convicted of the 1993 murder of a minister’s wife and whose case came out of Edwards’ district. Based

on eyewitness testimony and other evidence, “there is no question he perpetrated that crime,” Edwards said. Edwards’ comments followed a news conference Monday at which innocence advocates said the state should consider abolishing the death penalty and, at a minimum, should put a moratorium on the punishment. They cited concerns about the work of SBI lab analysts and the role race plays in capital punishment.

8A / Wednesday, September 1, 2010 / The Sanford Herald HURRICANE EARL POINTS TO NORTH CAROLINA

COLORADO

Outer Banks brace for Earl’s impact By MIKE BAKER Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — A powerful Hurricane Earl threatened to sideswipe much of the East Coast just ahead of Labor Day, worrying countless vacationers who planned to spend the traditional last week of summer at the beach. The Federal Emergency Management Agency warned people along the Eastern Seaboard to prepare for possible evacuations and islanders in the Turks and Caicos hunkered down in their homes Tuesday as the Category 4 hurricane steamed across the Caribbean with winds of 135 mph. Earl was expected to remain over the open ocean before turning north and running parallel to the East Coast, bringing high winds and heavy rain to North Carolina’s Outer Banks by late Thursday or early Friday. From there, forecasters said, it could curve away from the coast somewhat as it makes it way north, perhaps hitting Massachusetts’ Cape Cod and the Maine shoreline on Friday night and Saturday. “My guests are calling and they don’t know what to do and I don’t know what to tell them,” said Dave Dawson, owner of the oceanfront Cape Hatteras Motel in Buxton, N.C. Forecasters cautioned that it was still too early to tell how close Earl might come to land. But not since Hurricane Bob in 1991 has such a powerful storm had such a large swath of the East Coast in its sights, said Dennis Feltgen, spokesman for the National Hurricane Center. “A slight shift of that track to the west is going to impact a great deal of real estate with potential hurricane-force winds,” Feltgen said. Even if Earl stays well offshore, it will kick up rough surf and danger-

ous rip currents up and down the coast through the Labor Day weekend, a prime time for beach vacations, forecasters said. The approaching storm troubled many East Coast beach towns that had hoped to capitalize on the BP oil spill and draw visitors who normally vacation on the Gulf Coast. On Monday, Earl delivered a glancing blow to several small Caribbean islands, tearing roofs off homes and knocking out electricity to people in Anguilla, Antigua and St. Maarten. In Puerto Rico, nearly 187,000 people were without power and 60,000 without water, Gov. Luis Fortuno said. Cruise ships were diverted and flights canceled across the region. But there were no reports of deaths or serious injuries. On Tuesday, gusty winds from Earl’s outer

fringes whipped palm fronds and whistled through doors in the Turks and Caicos Islands as tied-down boats seesawed on white-crested surf. Islanders gathered to watch big waves pound a Grand Turk shore as the wind sent sand and salt spray flying. “We can hear the waves crashing against the reef really seriously,” Kirk Graff, owner of the Captain Kirks Flamingo Cove Marina, said by telephone as he watched the darkening skies. “Anybody who hasn’t secured their boats by now is going to regret it.” In the U.S., FEMA administrator Craig Fugate said state and local authorities may need to order evacuations along the Eastern Seaboard later this week if the storm does not veer away as expected. “Today is the day to make sure you have your plan completed and your

supplies in place,” he said. As of late Tuesday afternoon, Earl was centered about 150 miles east of Grand Turk island — and 1,000 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C. — as it headed northwest at 14 mph. Close on its heels was Tropical Storm Fiona, which was not expected to reach hurricane strength for at least several days. Carl Hanes of Newport News, Va., kept an eye on the weather report as he headed for the beach near his rented vacation home in Avon, N.C. He, his wife and their two teenage children were anticipating Earl might force them to leave on Thursday, a day ahead of schedule. “We’re trying not to let it bother us,” Hanes said before enjoying the calm surf. In Rehoboth Beach, Del., Judy Rice said she has no plans to leave the

vacation home where she has spent most of the summer. In fact, the Oak Hill, Va., resident plans to walk around town in the rain if it comes. “I kind of enjoy it actually. You know, it’s battling the elements,” Rice said. “I have seen the rain go sideways, and, yeah, it can be scary, but I have an old house here in Rehoboth, so it’s probably more important that I am here during a storm than anywhere.” In the Florida Panhandle, which has struggled all summer to lure back tourists scared away by the Gulf oil spill, bookings were up 12 percent over last year at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The resort is nowhere near Earl’s projected path, and spokeswoman Laurie Hobbs said she suspects the increase in reservations was partly because of a discount the hotel is offering and partly because of the hurricane. “Weather drives business,” she said. “They go to where the weather is best.” If Earl brings rain farther inland, it could affect the U.S. Open tennis tournament, being played now through Sept. 12 in New York City. “We’re keeping our eye on it very closely,” said United States Tennis Association spokesman Chris Widmaier. “It’s still a little early to tell how it will track and we’re hoping it will stay off the coast.” On the coast of southern Maine, about 15 people have already canceled Labor Day reservations at Burnette’s Campground in York because of concerns about Earl, said owner David Woods. But a Labor Day weekend washout won’t have the impact it would have had a decade ago. “Labor Days have changed in the past 10 years,” he said. “It used to be the big bang end to summer, but now from the 15th of August until the first of September, it sort of dwindles off.”

Proposed pot farm angers residents LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) — The investor saw potential in the scrubby 67 acres tucked away amid multimillion dollar homes: He would turn the land into a vast pot farm and capitalize on the booming medical marijuana industry. But Scott Mullner, a city councilman from Laramie, Wyo., infuriated his Colorado neighbors with his plan to place a marijuana farm in the midst of their idyllic Colorado countryside. They say the project will damage property values and attract more unwanted attention than the previous business at the location — an organic egg farm. “Nobody is going to come out and steal a chicken,” said Lance Messinger, 56, who lives less than a mile from the proposed marijuana site. “So it was pretty benign to the neighborhood, is what I’m saying.” Despite a flurry of e-mails and calls from residents opposed to the idea, Boulder County commissioners decided against holding a public hearing on the issue on Tuesday, allowing Mullner’s application to proceed. The county banned medical marijuana growing operations in agricultural areas in June but Mullner was able to get his application in before that. Commissioners said they had to abide by the rules at the time. Mullner still must proceed through the rest of the regulatory process and opponents say they’ll continue the fight. “We’re going to keep working on it, we’re going to make it difficult for them and we’re going to grow our numbers. It’s unconscionable, I cannot believe that they did that,” said resident Nancy Peters, 62.

Anguiano, who was talking as he was carried out, was hospitalized in stable condition, Dallas County sheriff’s spokeswoman Kim Leach said. The blade cut into muscle but did not strike an artery. Anguiano took the stand Tuesday and said he hoped to be sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to aggravated assault for cutting his niece with a butcher knife. But the judge, influenced by the defendant’s five previous prison stints, instead sentenced him to 40 years. “He looked up at me kind of quizzically and said, ‘40 years?’” Mitchell told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “And I said, ‘Yes, 40 years.’” Anguiano immediately pulled out the razor blade and “put it to his throat hard, and blood started gushing out,” Mitchell said.

THE WAR IN IRAQ

TIME TO ‘TURN THE PAGE’ Obama says it’s time for country to focus on economy; says Afghanistan conflict will continue

WASHINGTON (AP) — Declaring no victory after seven years of bloodshed, President Barack Obama on Tuesday ended the U.S. combat mission in Iraq, telling millions who were divided over the war in his country and around the world: “It is time to turn the page.” From the Oval Office, where President George W. Bush first announced the invasion that would come to define his time in office, Obama said bluntly: “Our most urgent task is to restore our economy.” It was a telling sign of the domestic troubles weighing on Obama’s nation and his own presidency that he would put such emphasis on the dire state of U.S. joblessness in a major war address. Even in turning control of the war over to Iraqis — and trying to cap one of the most divisive chapters in recent American history — Obama is escalating the conflict in Afghanistan. He pledged anew that the United States would keep up the fight in that war, the longest one since Vietnam. And in Iraq, for all the finality, the war is not over. More Americans are likely to die. The country is plagued by violence and political instability, and Iraqis struggle with constant shortages of electricity and water. Obama is keeping up to 50,000 troops in Iraq for support and counterterrorism training, and the

disparaging the sacrifice and courage of those who fought. On Tuesday he was intent on assuring the nation and the stretched military that all the work and bloodshed in Iraq was not in vain, declaring that because of it “America is more secure.” Though the U.S. commitment in Iraq is winding down, Obama is sending more troops to Afghanistan, the home base of the Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaida terrorists, where Americans have been fighting for nearly nine years. “It is going to be a tough slog,” Obama said of Afghanistan in remarks earlier Tuesday to soldiers at Fort Bliss, Texas. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said success in Afghanistan was possible but “is not inevitable.” Tuesday night, the president’s speech was never intended to be celebratory. “It’s not going to be a victory lap,” Obama said at Fort Bliss, a post that has lost 51 soldiers in the Iraq war. “It’s not going to be self-congratulatory. There’s still a lot of work that we’ve got to do to make sure that Iraq is an effective partner with us.” In fact, Iraq is in political turmoil, its leaders unable to form a new government long after March elections that left no clear winner. In Baghdad on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden pressed Iraqi leaders anew to break the impasse.

In this image from video, President Barack Obama speaks from the Oval Office at the White House on Tuesday, about the end of the U.S. combat role in Iraq. last forces are not due to leave until the end of 2011 at the latest. Still, he sought to mark Aug. 31, 2010, as a milestone in one of the defining chapters in recent American history. In a telling sign of the domestic troubles weighing on the U.S., Obama reserved part of his war address to campaign for his efforts to revitalize the economy. On a night focused on his role as commander in chief, he said his “central

responsibility as president” was to get people back to work. The ending of the combat mission on this date had been known for 18 months. Given the stakes, the toll in American lives and dollars and the long consuming debate, Obama sought to explain it to the country. “Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country,”

Obama said. He made sure to remind the nation that he had promised to meet this goal and shrink U.S. involvement by now, “and that is what we have done.” Obama’s rise to the presidency was built in part on his fierce opposition to the war, an American-led endeavor that lost public support as it rolled on and American casualties rose. Obama has long held that the war inflamed anti-American sentiments abroad and stole resources

from the fight in Afghanistan. In a defense of his foreign policy, Obama said capping the combat mission in Iraq would send a message to the world that the U.S. “intends to sustain and strengthen our leadership.” Obama sought to close a divisive chapter without declaring victory. His opposition to the war presented him with a tricky moment — standing firm in his position without

Iraq says it’s independent as combat ends

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said the end of American combat operations Tuesday leaves his country independent and an equal to the United States and he assured his people their own security forces will protect them. But the extent of U.S. influence in Iraq was still palpable. Vice President Joe Biden, presiding over the transition of the American role in Iraq, held a round of meetings with po-

litical leaders and pushed them to break a half-year impasse that has held up formation of a new government after inconclusive elections in March. He said Iraq was much safer than before. Al-Maliki spoke ahead of President Barack Obama’s address Tuesday night from the Oval Office to outline the withdrawal of combat forces. “Through implementing the troop withdrawal agreement, our relations

with the United States of America have entered into a new phase between two equal, sovereign states,” he said. “Iraq today is sovereign and independent,” al-Maliki added, calling Aug. 31 an “immortal day.” The U.S. has deemed Tuesday the formal end of American combat missions in Iraq. Just under 50,000 U.S. troops remain in Iraq — down from a peak of nearly 170,000 at the height of the military surge in

2007. Those troops will be focused on training and assisting the Iraqi military, and will no longer be allowed to go on combat missions unless requested and accompanied by Iraqi forces. Biden began his day at al-Maliki’s office in the fortified Green Zone. It was the first of five meetings with political leaders, pressing them to come to a power-sharing agreement that would allow formation of a new government.

‘Bed Intruder’ songster takes in fame

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Antoine Dodson’s angry, head-shaking TV interview about an attempted rape against his younger sister in her bed has turned into a chart-topping iTunes song and YouTube hit and made the 24-year-old Alabama college student an Internet sensation. “So y’all need to hide your kids, hide your wife and hide your husband, ‘cause they raping everybody out here,” the song’s catchy refrain goes. Dodson plans to use the money from the “Bed Intruder Song” selling for $1.29 a download and T-shirt sales to move his family out of the Lincoln Park housing project where they say the attack happened. But in an era when a viral video clip can rocket anyone to stardom, some suggest that Dodson and his family are being used and that his online rant plays to racial stereotypes. To think so is to sell Dodson short. He said he is determined to be empowered, not exploited. “Blessings come in disguise,” Dodson said. “This is a golden opportunity for us. I’m gonna take it and run with it.” A typical day for Dodson now includes checking in on his thousands of Facebook fans, photo shoots, pondering a small movie role and

Antoine Dodson, 24, and his sister, Kelly Dodson, 22, pose in the stairwell of the apartment complex where Kelly was attacked in Huntsville, Ala. juggling media interviews. And while he enjoys the limelight, he is still seeking justice for his sister and a better life for his family. “We’re still struggling,” Dodson said. “We have a hit on iTunes, but we’re still in the projects.” Two months ago, Dodson was a student at Virginia College in Huntsville, majoring in business management and hoping to one day own a hotel or a hair salon. He’d worked since he was 16 as a housekeeper and janitor. He was thinking of

moving back to Chicago, his hometown, to start a new life with his 22-yearold sister Kelly and her 2-year-old daughter. That plan was interrupted one night in late July when Dodson heard a muffled scream from his sister’s bedroom. He said he burst in to find a man on top of Kelly Dodson, choking her. He said he fought off the intruder, who escaped through the kitchen window. The next day, the family called the authorities and the media. A local TV reporter asked a furious Dodson, “Is there anything you’d like to say to the camera?” Emotions raw, Dodson let his words fly. The interview was immediately posted to YouTube. “Well, obviously, we have a rapist in Lincoln Park. He’s climbing in your windows, he’s snatching your people up.” Later to the attacker: “We’re lookin’ for you. We gonna find you. I’m lettin’ you know now.” By the next day, the clip had a million hits. Reactions were mixed. To many, it was a punchline forwarded to e-mail inboxes across the globe. Some were outraged that its popularity seemed to reinforce demeaning stereotypes of AfricanAmericans. Still others saw

someone standing up for himself and his community. Blogger Danielle Belton, owner of the website The Black Snob, said she was initially put off because the attention on Dodson’s interview seemed to overshadow the crime at the root of the story. “What I saw were two people who were very angry and frustrated because crime is so commonplace in poor communities,” Belton said. “People got stuck on the humorous aspect of it. What happened to Kelly got pushed to the background.” Later, when she discovered the Dodsons were using the attention to help their family, Belton said she was impressed. “So many people who have become Internet memes didn’t get anything out of it other than grief,” she said. “They’re spreading awareness, raising money ... taking advantage of this moment.” After the fans came phone calls and offers. About 1,000 miles away in Brooklyn, N.Y., musicians Evan and Michael Gregory saw the clip and were sold. The brothers made Dodson the next project in their “Auto-Tune the News” series, which digitally converts the voices of newsmakers into music.

Electronic Arts brings ‘Madden’ to Facebook

Lohan talks trial, talent, drug use in Vanity Fair

NEW YORK (AP) — Electronic Arts is bringing its popular “Madden” football game to Facebook. “Madden NFL Superstars” launches as a free application Tuesday. The game lets players create fantasy teams featuring more than 1,500 current NFL players from this year’s team rosters. The fantasy teams compete with one another on Facebook. Or, they can play against fantasy versions of the season’s actual NFL teams. Electronic Arts Inc. plans to make money from the game by letting players pay nominal amounts of money for better players and other game content. Those microtransactions are expected to add up, though the majority of players are expected to play the game without paying a dime. “NFL Superstars,” which comes a week before the football season kicks off, follows EA’s “FIFA Superstars” soccer game for Facebook. That game has about 4 million players. EA Sports President Peter Moore said the idea is to bring “Madden” to a broader audience beyond the fans of the console version, which sells about 5 million to 6 million units each year and can be complicated to play. “NFL Superstars” was created by EA Sports and Playfish, the social game company EA bought last year for $275 million.

NEW YORK (AP) — Lindsay Lohan wants your respect. In the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, the 24-year-old actress acknowledges making mistakes in the past and “dabbling in certain things.” But in a July interview with the magazine before she served 14 days in jail followed by 23 days of inpatient rehab, she defended her actions, saying she was young and curious and was associating with the wrong people. “So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons,” Lohan said. “A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving. I had a lot of people that were there for me for, you know, the party.” Lohan says she used to get her news from tabloids, which she now calls “scary and sad.” “I would look up to those girls ... the Britneys and whatever,” she said. “And I would be like, I want to be like that.” Despite everything, Lohan is confident in her acting abilities and future: “I don’t care what anyone says. I know that I’m a damn good actress.” She says she’ll do whatever it takes to fix her partygirl image. “I want my career back,” she said. “I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it. It’s not fun anyway.”

Rowling donates 10 million pounds for MS center

LONDON (AP) — Author J.K. Rowling has given 10 million pounds ($15.4 million) to set up a center to research multiple sclerosis, the disease that killed her mother. The creator of boy wizard Harry Potter said Tuesday that the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic, named after her mother, will be based at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. It will also study other degenerative neurological conditions, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Rowling said she hopes the clinic will become “a world center for excellence in the field of regenerative neurology.” The university said Rowling’s gift is the largest single donation it has received. Rowling is a longtime resident of the Scottish capital, and began writing the Harry Potter books when she was a cash-strapped single mother in the city.\

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The FBI probe of two men arrested in Amsterdam after suspicious items turned up in one of the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luggage is finding they were probably not on a test run for a future terror attack, a U.S. official said Tuesday, casting doubt on earlier suggestions even as Dutch authorities held the pair on suspicion of conspiring to commit a terrorist act. The U.S. does not expect to charge the men, a law enforcement official said. The two men arrested in Amsterdam â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both traveling to Yemen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; did not know each other and were not traveling together, a U.S. government official said. The Amsterdam arrests came at a time of heightened alert less than two weeks before the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. U.S. officials have also been concerned about Americans traveling to Yemen to join al-Qaida. Before officials began casting doubt on the test run theory, FBI agents were chasing down leads in Detroit, Birmingham, Ala., and Memphis, Tenn., a law enforcement official said.

Stocks end a brutal August with meager gains

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The stock market ended its worst August since 2001 with meager gains Tuesday after minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting showed officialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; increasing concern about the economy. Stock indexes gave up most of their gains in mid-afternoon after the release of minutes from the Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aug. 10 meeting. Fed officials said during their discussions that they recognized that the economy might need further stimulus beyond the purchases of government debt the central bank announced that day. Some of the officials acknowledged that economy had softened more than they had anticipated. The Dow Jones industrial average ended with a gain of 5 points, having been up 64 following a reading on consumer confidence in August that came in stronger than expected. Stocks fell sharply for

much of August after a series of reports suggested that the recovery has weakened.

Benefits seen for high-risk women in ovary removal CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Surgery to remove healthy ovaries gives a triple benefit to high-risk women: It lowers their threat of breast and ovarian cancer, and boosts their chances of living longer, new research suggests. The study is the largest to date to find advantages for preventive surgery for women who carry BRCA gene mutations. Women with the faulty genes have a dramatically higher cancer risk than other women â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five times greater for breast cancer and at least 10 times greater for ovarian cancer. The study, appearing in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Journal of the American Medical Association, found benefits for women with two different BRCA gene variants whether they had previously had breast cancer or not. The results offer more tailored evidence for women considering ovary removal, a surgery that ends fertility, fast-forwards them into early menopause and may contribute to osteoporosis or heart problems later in life.

Home prices rise in 17 cities in June WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Home prices rose in June for a third straight month as now-expired tax credits inspired a burst of home-buying. But prices are expected to fall through the rest of the year now that demand has faded. The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s/CaseShiller 20-city home price index released Tuesday posted a 1 percent increase in June from May and was up 4.2 percent from a year ago. Seventeen cities showed monthly price gains. Still, the gains were weaker from the previous month in several markets, including San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles. Home prices nationally were up 4.4 percent in the April-toJune quarter. That followed a decline of 2.8 percent in the January-to-March quarter. The jump was largely because buyers could take advantage of government tax credits of up to $8,000.

Data: Fewer U.S. kids in foster care NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The number of U.S. children in foster care has dropped 8 percent in just one year, and more than 20 percent in the past decade, according to new federal figures underscoring the impact of widespread reforms. The drop, hailed by child-welfare advocates, is due largely to a shift in the policies and practices of state and county child welfare agencies. Many have been shortening stays in foster care, speeding up adoptions and expanding preventive support for troubled families so more children avoid being removed from their homes in the first place. The new figures, released Tuesday by the Department of Health and Human Services, show there were 423,773 children in foster care as of Sept. 30. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down from 460,416 a year earlier and from more than 540,000 a decade ago.

California had the biggest one-year drop â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from 67,703 to 60,198. Just eight years ago, the state had more than 90,000 children in foster care. Florida, Illinois, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania are among other major states that have lowered their numbers sharply over the decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extraordinary,â&#x20AC;? said Terri Braxton, a vice president of the Child Welfare League of America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a major focus on fostercare awareness, on new legislative policies, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartening to see that these efforts are finally paying off.â&#x20AC;? Though many of the initiatives are at the state level, Braxton said the trend had been aided by a federal law, the 2008 Fostering Connections Act. It allows use of federal funds to assist children who leave foster care to live with relatives other than their par-

ents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an arrangement which in the past was generally not eligible for federal aid. Braxton said many challenges remain, including dealing with the increasing number of foster youths aging out of the system without a permanent family. The number of such youths rose from 19,000 in 1999 to a record high of nearly 30,000 in 2008. Kathi Crowe, executive director of the National Foster Care Coalition, said a key factor behind the lower foster care numbers was the greater emphasis on preventive services, so fewer children needed to be removed from their homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And in cases where they are removed, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now a real priority to provide the kids with permanent homes so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t languish in the system any longer than they need to,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All those things

combined â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all good news for kids.â&#x20AC;? Richard Wexler of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, which seeks to reduce the number of children unnecessarily placed in foster care, said he was encouraged by the lower number of children taken from their parents in the first place. Overall, entries into the system were down 6.5 percent for one year, and down 17 percent since they peaked in 2005, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one more indication that, at long last, the politics of child welfare is catching up with reality,â&#x20AC;? Wexler said in an e-mail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The proportion of children deemed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;substantiatedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; victims of child abuse in this country peaked in 1993 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been as high since. Yet for more than a decade afterward, states kept taking away more and more children.â&#x20AC;?

WISCONSIN

Candidate runs ad aimed at attack victim MADISON, Wis. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Republican candidate for Wisconsin governor has begun running ads in which he dons boxing gloves and vows to â&#x20AC;&#x153;go the distanceâ&#x20AC;? against the likely Democratic nominee, who was viciously beaten outside a fairground last year and left with serious injuries. Scott Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign said Tuesday that it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to make reference to the August 2009 attack outside the Wisconsin State Fair that left Tom Barrett, Milwaukeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor, with injuries to his head, mouth, face and hand. Barrett tried to help a screaming woman struggling to protect her 1-year-old granddaughter from being taken by her drunk, belligerent father.

The attacker, who was sentenced in July to 12 years in prison, beat Barrett with a metal object. The mayor has had three surgeries on his hand, which doctors say may never fully recover. In the ad, which began running statewide on Sunday and which the campaign doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to pull, Walker faces the camera, refers to negative campaign ads Barrett has run in the past month and accuses Barrett of â&#x20AC;&#x153;throwing punches at me.â&#x20AC;? At the end, Walker dons red boxing gloves and says he took on the political machine as Milwaukee County executive and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;ready to go the distance as your next governor.â&#x20AC;? Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign sent the ad around in a fundraising e-mail Mon-

day under the subject line â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fighter.â&#x20AC;? The text of the e-mail says Walker is using his latest ad to â&#x20AC;&#x153;fight backâ&#x20AC;? against Barrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accusations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he looks ridiculous and I think it really is tasteless,â&#x20AC;? said Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walker does seem to be mocking the fact that the mayor, frankly, almost gave his life to intervene in a domestic violence situation.â&#x20AC;? Walker spokeswoman Jill Bader defended the approach, saying the ad was in response to three negative spots Barrett has run in recent weeks against Walker. When asked if Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ad was in bad taste given Barrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real-life attack, Bader said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was not at all what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about.â&#x20AC;?

She declined to say how much the ad buy was. Barrett, asked about the ad in Milwaukee, said people can judge for themselves whether it is in bad taste or not. The fighting metaphor is a common one in politics, but the Walker campaign should have thought twice before using it against Barrett, said University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor Charles Franklin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Walker campaign doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any strategic or tactical reason to want to remind voters of Barrett getting into a fight,â&#x20AC;? Franklin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think maybe their ad agency wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as sensitive to that possibility as they could have been.â&#x20AC;?

Feudin’ and a shootin’

The Class of ’11 takes the field Friday night for bragging rights By RYAN SARDA

hat would this column be without a annual reference to “The Andy Griffith Show”? During the 2010 Sprint Cup season most of the talk has centered around feuds and who is feuding with whom. So today we are going to discuss and attempt to understand what constitutes a feud and what the requirements are to make something a feud. On Dec. 5, 1960, one of my favorite episodes of the show, titled “A Feud is A Feud,” aired. The episode was about two young people from feuding families who wanted to marry but their fathers were not going to allow it to happen because the families hated each other. A wonderful downhome version of “Romeo and Juliet,” it was up to Friar Andy to see why they were “feuding.” Andy questions the old men of both families about how the feud started. One of them said the two families — the Wakefields and the Carters — were feuding because they were shooting at each other. Andy asks why are you shooting at each other and the man responds an emphatic “Oh! Because we’re a feuding.” So Andy asks why are you a feuding? Again the man says “Oh! Because we’re a shooting at each other.” You see how it goes. Well, Andy gets the idea. This is where I will tie the episode in with this year in NASCAR. All of this talk in 2010 is not about feuding or shooting at each other. It’s all about some young men who don’t like each other and don’t know why. Just like the Wakefields and the Carters,

Lee County’s Taylor Seagroves (right) hits the ball over the net as Athens Drive High School’s Caroline Campbell (left) defends on Tuesday evening during prep volleyball action at Lee County High School.

Athens Drive tops Lee in conference match From staff reports SANFORD — The Lee County Yellow Jackets lost to Athens Drive in straight sets Tuesday night. The Bengals won the three sets 25-10, 25-6 and 25-10. “We’re doing a very poor job of communicating out there,” Lee County head coach Cindy Kelly said. “We have to learn to play as a team.” She said she hoped to use the team’s game tonight against Pinecrest as a time to improve. “We looked good in spurts tonight,” she said. “Hopefully we can iron out some of the bad stuff we did tonight.”

SANFORD — Ashton Gaines, Robert Richard and Billy Tienken were just sophomores when the Southern Lee Cavaliers won their last football game. That win came against crosstown rival Lee County in Brick City Bowl III on Sept. 19, 2008, at Cavalier Stadium. Two years and two head coaches later, Gaines, Richard and Tienken are seniors looking to help the Cavaliers reclaim the coveted brick and earn bragging rights in the county again. More importantly, though, they’re looking for their first victory since that 24-6 win over the Yellow Jackets two years ago when the two county rivals meet again for Brick City Bowl V on Friday night at Southern Lee High School. “We work hard every week trying to get a win,” said Tienken. “This week is no different. We want a win

After long wait, Charlotte gets PGA Championship BASEBALL NATS’ STRASBURG TO HAVE TOMMY JOHN SURGERY FRIDAY

MIAMI (AP) — Washington Nationals rookie ace Stephen Strasburg will have Tommy John surgery on Friday to rebuild his injured right elbow. The recuperation period is expected to be 12 to 18 months. The surgery will be in Los Angeles and performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum, with Nationals team doctor Dr. Wiemi Douoguih assisting. Strasburg tore a ligament while pitching Aug. 21 in Philadelphia. The right-hander who created such a buzz all through baseball was 5-3 with a 2.91 ERA.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue remembers sitting with Johnny Harris in 1993 as the Quail Hollow Club president gushed about his ambitious plans. “He said, ‘Bev, we’re going to make us a prize. We’re bringing in a great golf designer and we’re going to change this course,’” Perdue recalled. “He said, ‘We’re going to have us an international tournament here.’” Two redesigns and 17 years later, Perdue sat next to Harris on the same stage Tuesday with PGA of America CEO Joe Steranka, who announced the 2017 PGA Championship will be played at the old-style, private course. “Charlotte deserves this,” Steranka said. “Quail Hollow deserves it.” It will mark the third time the PGA will be in North Carolina, and the first for the state’s largest city. The event will draw

No wonder Harris was smiling at an event that included numerous state dignitaries, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson and Charlotte Bobcats president Fred Whitfield. “We wanted to have a golf

course that could host a major championship,” said Harris, a real estate developer and member of Augusta National. “Everything we’ve done has been done to improve the experience of players and patrons.” The PGA of America was drawn to Quail Hollow after watching its success as one of

the top non-majors since its return to the PGA Tour in 2003. It came after famed designer Tom Fazio made major renovations to the course starting in the late 1990s which added length and new greens, but kept much of the natural landscape. “Their commitment to the two renovations that Tom did and their support of doing additional things that would improve Quail Hollow as a championship venue is what we looked for,” said Steranka, who first discussed bringing the tournament here two years ago. “We’ve had the benefit of seeing Quail Hollow prove itself as a test of players of every ability.” There could be several changes, however, by the time the first ball is struck in August 2017. Harris hinted the PGA Tour event could end once the sponsorship deal with Wells Fargo & Co. expires after the 2014 tournament.

NFL PRESEASON

Manny joins White Sox, Panthers WR Wright lost for season; Davis on PUP not in starting lineup

CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Behind trendy, whiteframed sunglasses with rose-colored lenses, his dreadlocks pulled neatly together with a rubber band, Manny Ramirez walked to the front of the interview room wearing Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silver and black for the first time. As he approached the dais, Ramirez adjusted the Velcro straps on his batting gloves. Make no mistake. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here to hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to play baseball,â&#x20AC;? he said through White Sox bench coach Joey Cora, who served as Ramirezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s translator during a brief news conference bordering on bizarre. Already, Mannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being himself. Ramirez, whose previous stops in Boston and Los Angeles ended poorly and amid controversy, began the next phase of his colorful career Tuesday when he officially joined the White Sox, who claimed the 12-time AllStar off waivers for the final month of the playoff chase. Ramirez was not in manager Ozzie Guillenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting lineup for Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Cleveland. Ramirez was weary from an early wakeup call and crosscountry flight, so Guillen will only use him if needed and give him his first start on Wednesday when the teams conclude their series with a day game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was up at 4:30 in the morning,â&#x20AC;? Guillen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reason right there not to play him. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been on the disabled list this year. Why take the risk? Now if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win last night, we got 20 some hits, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to use him (tonight), but if we need him, we will use him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Whatever you need, whatever you want.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Ending a media boycott that began in spring training with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Ramirez spoke only in Spanish to reporters, who wondered if he would conform to Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal-appearance policy and cut the flowing dreadlocks he has worn for the past several years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stupid question,â&#x20AC;? Ramirez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to play baseball and that has nothing to do with playing baseball.â&#x20AC;? But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the problem for too long with Ramirez, who remains one of baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying I have a contract that runs through 2014,â&#x20AC;? Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been contacted by anyone that suggested anything different than that.â&#x20AC;? Harris added there certainly wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a PGA Tour event in 2016-17 as the course transitions from playing in overseeded rye for a May event to Bermuda grass for the heat of the midsummer. They also expect to rebuild all 18 greens with a new type of bent grass more resistant to the intense heat Charlotte is accustomed to. Harris wants a new entrance for fans to get onto the course, and may ask for state aid in getting the road outside the club widened. But Steranka stressed

Chicago White Sox Manny Ramirez, left, talks to his new teammates, including shortstop Alexei Ramirez, right, before a baseball game against the Cleveland Indians Tuesday in Cleveland. popular and perhaps most misunderstood players. After helping carry the Dodgers to the playoffs in 2008, Ramirezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past two seasons have included a 50-game suspension for failing a drug test and a contentious final few months in Hollywood, which he transformed into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mannywoodâ&#x20AC;? with his big swing and big smile before things soured. Ramirez arrived at Progressive Field at 3:15 p.m., entering the familiar ballpark through the Cleveland playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking lot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a route he took for seven seasons with the Indians. He pulled a wheeled travel bag and was followed by two clubhouse attendants lugging overstuffed Dodgers equipment bags. Soon, he slid into his chair under the RAMIREZ 99 nameplate hung in Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clubhouse. As Guillen held court across the room, Ramirez spoke to a few of his new teammates, including pitcher Mark Buehrle, who must feel relieved that he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to face one of the most feared right-handed hitters in baseball history this season. Ramirez is thrilled to be joining the White Sox, who began the day trailing the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins by four games. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be used primarily as Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designated hitter and could see some time in left field. Ramirez had three stints on the disabled list

this season with leg injuries. He missed 58 games, and because the Dodgers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the luxury of a DH, they decided to waive him rather than trade the superstar and get something in return. Ramirez said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begrudge the Dodgers for letting him go, but wonders why manager Joe Torre didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have him in the lineup more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just feel blessed that I played for them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only played 60 games for them this year, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially at the end.â&#x20AC;? Ramirez was asked how he feels physically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like a 25-year-old,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said only God knows how long he can keep playing, but Ramirez said he remains driven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still have that fire to compete,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as I have that fire to compete, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to keep playing. As soon as that fire leaves, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to go.â&#x20AC;? Ramirez has long had a reputation for being lackadaisical. His casual stride and style make it look that way. Guillen is sure he will get the most the 38-yearold Ramirez can give. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will hustle. He will. You treat Manny with respect and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine,â&#x20AC;? Guillen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I want him to do is drive in runs. He will run. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to run like Juan Pierre. But he will run like Manny. I wish he can play every day, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not 15 anymore.

he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want a lot of changes for a 7,469-yard, par-72 layout that has received mostly positive reviews by the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top players. The closing three-hole stretch, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Green Mile,â&#x20AC;? is one of the most difficult on the PGA Tour and could provide drama with the Wanamaker Trophy on the line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quail Hollow could host the PGA Championship next year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that good,â&#x20AC;? Steranka said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would give it three years of new greens to do it

because more than likely youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to transition to a new type of turf. The Green Mile is famous in golf for a reason. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got everything that it needs to test the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest players.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as Harris envisioned three decades ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to build what the TPC (Sawgrass) built,â&#x20AC;? Harris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we did was take our natural characteristics and Tom Fazio enhanced that.â&#x20AC;?

12 Years Parts & Labor! Strongest Warranty On The Market!

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Panthers have placed Wallace Wright on season-ending injured reserve with a shoulder injury that requires, surgery, a blow for Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shaky receiver unit and special teams. The Panthers on Tuesday also placed linebacker Thomas Davis on the reserve-physically unable to perform list, waived receivers Dexter Jackson and Oliver Young and placed defensive end Hilee Taylor on injured reserve with a knee injury to get to the NFL limit of 75 players. Wright was signed in the offseason from the New York Jets mainly in hopes of boosting Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggling special teams. But Wright had spent some time working with the starters at receiver. He was injured in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Tennessee, further complicating the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efforts to find a No. 2 receiver.

Vick to start final preseason game PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michael Vick will start Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final preseason game because the Eagles are resting their starters. Coach Andy Reid says Vick will play the first half against the New York Jets on Thursday night. Rookie Mike Kafka is slated to play the second half. Kevin Kolb will be on the sideline.

care No S

Vick, a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback with Atlanta, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t started since Dec. 31, 2006. He signed with the Eagles last summer after missing two seasons due to his imprisonment. Vick has 133 yards passing, no touchdowns, three interceptions and a 33.7 quarterback rating this preseason.

Romo not playing preseason finale; McGee to start IRVING, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tony Romoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason is done. Although Romo has led the Dallas Cowboys to only one touchdown in four games, coach Wade Phillips said Tuesday that his starting quarterback will not try working out the kinks in the final preseason game Thursday night. Third-stringer Stephen McGee will be the starting quarterback instead against the Miami Dolphins. Phillips said â&#x20AC;&#x153;selected startersâ&#x20AC;? will play. That likely means guys who play positions where the Cowboys have injuries will be pressed into action. Rookie receiver Dez Bryantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status also remains in doubt. Phillips said he would have a better idea after Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only workout between a loss to Houston on Saturday and the Miami game.

Dolphins players search field for earring

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Several Miami Dolphins crawled across the field after practice Tuesday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not due to exhaustion, but because they were looking for a diamond earring. Defensive end Kendall Langford said he forgot to take his earrings out before practice and lost one of them during drills. He said the diamond was nearly 2.5 carats, which is why he was still on the field an hour after practice scanning the grass. At least nine teammates helped. Some were on hands and knees, and a couple used rakes to comb through the turf. They had a lot of ground to cover, because the Dolphins practice on two fields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a great group of guys out here helping me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; family-type guys,â&#x20AC;? Langford said. He declined to say how much the earring cost. One jewelry distributor said it could be worth more than $50,000. Several fellow defensive linemen were among those assisting Langford in his search. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a teammate. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you do,â&#x20AC;? defensive end Ryan Baker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fat diamond. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame.â&#x20AC;? Langford finally abandoned the search â&#x20AC;&#x201D; temporarily, at least â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because he was due at a team meeting.

SPORTS IN BRIEF

NY TURNS DOWN BURRESS’ REQUEST FOR WORK RELEASE NEW YORK (AP) — Former New York Giants Super Bowl star Plaxico Burress has come up short in his bid for work release during his two-year prison sentence in a gun case, a denial that could keep him behind bars until at least next spring, prison officials said Tuesday. The state Department of Correctional Services said the nature of his November 2008 crime merited turning down his request for a work furlough, which would have let him spend some portion of his time free and working. Burress can appeal the decision but otherwise can’t reapply for a work furlough until June 6, 2011, the date he comes up for potential full release if he gets time off for good behavior. Burress’ lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, didn’t immediately return a telephone call seeking comment Tuesday. For now, the wide receiver remains in protective custody, because of his notoriety, at a prison in the central New York community of Oneida. The work release request was Burress’ second since he started serving his sentence last September. Burress, 33, pleaded guilty last year to attempted criminal possession of a weapon.

BROWNS’ ROGERS FINED BY NFL BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland Browns nose tackle Shaun Rogers will not be suspended by the NFL for carrying a loaded gun into an airport. The league said Rogers will be fined a one-game check — roughly $400,000 — for violating its personal conduct policy. The former Pro Bowler, who has not practiced this summer because of a leg injury that ended his season after 11 games in 2009, is appealing the decision. Police said Rogers carried a semiautomatic handgun in a carry-on bag into Hopkins International Airport in April. He reached a deal with prosecutors last month and was ordered to enter diversion program to avoid trial on the weapons charge.

CRICKET CHIEF CALL FIXING ‘SAD AND DISAPPOINTING’ CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The head of cricket’s governing body Tuesday called match-fixing “sad and disappointing,” but denied that his organization has allowed the sport to be corrupted and said players must help protect the game. International Cricket Council chief executive Haroon Lorgat added he would be “at a loss for words” if the undercover sting by a British newspaper accusing some Pakistan players of manipulating matches proves true. With cricket reeling from another fixing scandal, Lorgat said the ICC has “strong measures in place to ensure the integrity of the game is maintained.” “We have identified corrupt individuals and advised players to stay away from them,” Lorgat said at Cape Town International Airport. “We need cooperation from the players. They must listen to us and also have discipline.”

the young drivers don’t have an answer. Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards wouldn’t know a feud if it bit them on the back of their leg. If they want to know what feuding is then all they need to do is go back to the racing archives and visit some races from the late 60s and the 70s. The difference is that those guys didn’t like each other — at all. In those days, the guys took a little rubbing and racing as a punch in the face. They didn’t like someone pushing them around and would ultimately push back and the outcome could possibly be a fight or the entire crews going at it. The reason they felt that way was most of the time the drivers were more involved in how the cars were built at the shop. The drivers spent time with the crews and were right there as they sweated and labored. They were hands on with the details of getting the car ready for the next race. If somebody wanted to push and shove they were doing so to something that they had a part of and, thus, they took it more personal then these softies do today. Today, these guys are so involved with sponsorship details and television time and making commercials that they don’t spend time with the crew until Friday. And then the pit crew flies in the morning of the race and there are three different groups of workers getting their cars

ready. The shop, the team and the pit crew. Then, when they get touched on the track and get spun out, NASCAR wants them to call it a feud hoping it will bring attention to the sport. Attention that is greatly lacking at this point in the season. Let’s face it, if it wasn’t for the few little skirmishes that have happened thus far then this would be the most boring race season ever. There is no excitement. The Chase field has all but been decided, and the only thing left to be determined is how they will change the Chase next season to make it more interesting. The NASCAR officials are not satisfied because there are several drivers in the top twelve who haven’t won a race. They ain’t gonna stand for that. So are the arguments between Edwards, Keselowski and Busch really “feuds” or are they just shooting at each other? Someone recently called me and said the only difference between racing and wrestling were the first letters. The drivers probably go to dinner together after the race. So I guess they are shooting. In the end of episode of Andy, the young couple were allowed to marry because Andy made the two old man realize they were wrong and decided the time was now to stop the fighting. I am not saying stop the fighting, I just want to find out what they are fighting or feuding about. Last week I said see you after Atlanta (silly me, the race is this week) so now I will say...see you after Atlanta!

this week and we’re doing everything we can to be as prepared as possible to get it.” Richard agrees with Tienken saying that Lee County is just another 4-A opponent on the Cavaliers’ tough schedule. “The next game is the most important game,” said Richard, who had six catches for 52 yards in last week’s 54-13 loss at E.E. Smith. “They just happen to be on our schedule. We obviously want to win it and it’s more emotional because we know a lot of their guys personally.” Gaines, who was the backup quarterback in 2008 when Southern Lee reclaimed the brick, said he is worrying about this season and is not dwelling on last year’s 55-7 loss to the Yellow Jackets in Brick City Bowl IV. “As a team, we’re focusing on this season,” said Gaines. “The next game and the next practice is all we can focus on at this point. We’re working on getting better as a program and turning everything around. We can’t really reflect on last year or the year before.

It’d be nice to get a win, though. Gaines really had no problem moving the ball through the air against South Johnston and E.E. Smith. In the season opener against South Johnston, Gaines was 28-of-47 passing for 260 yards and three touchdowns. Against Smith, he completed 17 of 32 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns. Against the Yellow Jackets, Gaines says that the Cavaliers are going to have to play mistake-free football in order to win. “I’ve just got to make my reads and make smart decisions,” said Gaines. “I’ve got to throw the ball when I need to throw and run the ball when I need to run. We can’t make any mistakes out there. We cannot afford any mistakes.” Meanwhile, the Yellow Jackets are looking to do something that’s yet to be done in the four prior Brick City Bowls. They’re looking to hold the brick for the secondstraight year. Seniors Carson Wilson and Danny Dillon are going to everything they can to make that happen for the Yellow Jackets, who suffered a 38-21 loss to Richmond County last

week. “We want to win it two years in a row,” said Wilson, the quarterback for the Yellow Jackets who is 1-1 in the last two Brick City Bowls. “That’s very important to us. It’s never been done and it’s something we really want to do. We want to keep it here for another year.” The Yellow Jackets are also looking at this year’s Brick City Bowl as a must-win game as far as playoffs are concerned. At season’s end, the Yellow Jackets can drop one of their three nonconference games to boost their postseason resume. They beat Western Harnett and a win over Southern Lee could help the Yellow Jackets earn a decent seed if they can qualify for the 4-A state playoffs. “They’ll take two of our three nonconference games,” said Wilson. “So, we really want to win for playoff purposes. We’re trying to make the playoffs this year and we want to do everything we can to get there.” Dillon says that he would really like to close out his senior year with one more victory over the county rival. “I want to it just like I want every other game,”

said Dillon, the Yellow Jackets’ tight end and long snapper. “I really like to win. This game, I’d love to win not just for the Brick but also for the bragging rights in this county. This is my last game against Southern Lee and I’d like to end it with a win against them.” Israel Williams, one of the multiple threats at running back for the Yellow Jackets expects Southern Lee to play its best game of the season. “We expect them to come out fired up and focused,” Williams. “We know they’re working hard. We’re expecting them to play a really good game against us.” Gaines knows how tough the Yellow Jackets are going to be and knows that the Cavaliers are going to have to be ready. “They’re working hard just like we are,” said Gaines. “They almost went the distance with Richmond County and that pretty much says it all right there. We’re really going to have to execute in all phases of the game.” This is a game Gaines really wants to win. “We want that brick bad,” said Gaines. “We want it real bad.”

Ingram to miss opener after surgery By JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer

Mark Ingramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run for a second Heisman Trophy has been put on hold, and possibly even derailed, before the Alabama tailback had a chance to gain a single yard. Ingram will miss No. 1 Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener against San Jose State after injuring his left knee late in practice Monday, coach Nick Saban said Tuesday. Saban said in a statement the star tailback had an arthroscopic procedure and should make a full recovery in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;relatively short time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mark will definitely be out for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against San Jose State and we will manage this on a week to week basis beyond this week,â&#x20AC;? Saban said. If the absence proves short-lived, it figures to have more of an impact on Ingramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid to join Ohio State running back Archie Griffin as the only two-time Heisman winners than it does on Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopes for a repeat national title. San Jose State went 2-10 last season, but the Crimson Tide face a much stiffer test in the second week of the season. No. 19 Penn State visits Tuscaloosa on Sept. 11, then Alabama travels to Duke. Alabama does have a talented backup in sophomore Trent Richardson, who ran for 751

Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram of Alabama will miss the season opener after injuring his left knee during practice. He was hurt Monday and coach Nick Saban said in a statement the star tailback had an arthroscopic procedure Tuesday. The coach says Ingram should make a full recovery in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;relatively short time. yards and scored eight touchdowns last season, including 109 yards and a 49-yard touchdown against Texas in the national title game. He and Ingram were picked as the preseason first-team all-Southeastern Conference tailbacks. Ingram became Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Heisman winner as a sophomore after rushing for a school-record 1,658 yards and catching 32 passes. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first running back since

Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tony Dorsett in 1976 to win both a Heisman and a national title in the same season. He was the third consecutive sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, joining quarterbacks Tim Tebow of Florida and Oklahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sam Bradford. An early injury sidelined Bradford, while Tebow was a finalist as a junior and a senior though he never got to hoist the bronze statue again. If Ingram misses more than one game, it could

allow players such as Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor, Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore or Virginia Tech tailback Ryan Williams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or someone else â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to get a head start on him in the Heisman race. Then again, the emergence of Richardson and a diverse offense that also includes standout receiver Julio Jones might have hindered Ingramâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances to repeat anyway. Asked Monday if he thought Alabama could have two 1,000-yard rushers, Ingram said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, definitely. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a definite possibility, but our main goal is to do whatever we can to help this team win. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not really focused on stats. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focused on executing our assignments, playing the best football weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of playing week in and week out and help this team win games. Stats really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an issue or something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focused on.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much experience behind Richardson while Ingram is out. Redshirt freshman Eddie Lacy is listed as the third-teamer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit taller than all the other running backs,â&#x20AC;? Ingram said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a physical runner. He can make you miss. He can catch good out of the backfield. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another great back. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be real special here as well.â&#x20AC;?

Redshirt freshmen Frank Souza, Nikita Whitlock and Daniel Mack were listed first team for Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Presbyterian, Souza at defensive tackle, Whitlock at nose tackle and Mack at safety. Additionally, seven other redshirt freshmen and three first-year freshmen are listed second team, with redshirt freshman Josh Mack running third team in a three-player rotation at tailback.

A lot of time young guys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focus on what the call is, and right before the snap they realize â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the call is.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing a lot of guys without a lot of experience.

them calm and coach them. I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play hard. Hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play hard and play smart.â&#x20AC;? The seven redshirt freshmen listed as second team are flanker Michael Campanaro, left tackle Steven Chase, right tackle Devin Bolling, nose tackle Kris Redding, defensive end Zach Thompson, linebacker Justin Jackson and safety Duran Lowe. Campanaro is behind junior Devon Brown, with Chase behind junior Dennis Godfrey, Bolling behind junior Doug Weaver, Redding behind Whitlock, Thompson behind junior Kyle Wilber, Jackson behind sophomore Riley Haynes and Lowe behind Mack. The three first-year freshmen on the second team are quarterback Tanner Price and cornerbacks A.J. Marshall and Kevin Johnson. Grobe said that all are in the game plan, but none are certain to play. He has said repeated-

ly that for a freshman to play his first season, the coaches need to know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fill a significant role on the team. But he has also said repeatedly that the best players play. Ted Stachitas, a sophomore listed as the starting quarterback, holds the key to whether Price will play against Presbyterian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to play a freshman unless he can get 20 or 30 snaps a game,â&#x20AC;? Grobe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if we put Tanner out there weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make a commitment that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get a bunch of snaps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll kind of play it by ear. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of where we are. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you any more than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how Ted plays. If Ted stays healthy and plays really, really good, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to decide do we give the rookie any reps Thursday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It probably depends more than anything on how well the offense plays.â&#x20AC;?

The season starts Thursday, so what better time to jump ahead five months and predict what teams will play in the Bowl Championship Series and who wins it all. Remember, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no fun to pick the obvious. n Rose Bowl: TCU (atlarge) vs. Oregon (Pac-10 champion). The Pac-10 might be the toughest conference in the country to forecast. The Ducks wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss quarterback Jeremiah Masoli all that much and they make it two straight Rose Bowl appearances. The Horned Frogs become the first team from a non-automatic qualifying conference to play in the Rose Bowl. n Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma (Big 12 champion) vs. Connecticut (Big East). The Sooners bounce back from a messy 8-5 season to reclaim the Big 12 and earn a chance to snap their BCS losing streak at three games. The second-toughest conference to predict is the Big East. The experienced and well-coached Huskies earn their first BCS bid. n Orange Bowl: Miami (ACC champion) vs. Nebraska (at-large). The rebirth of Miami and Nebraska as elite programs leads to an Orange Bowl matchup that has decided national cham-

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Winston-Salem Journal

pionships in the past. Soon we might see the Hurricanes and Cornhuskers playing each other for national titles again. n Sugar Bowl: Alabama (at-large) vs. Ohio State (at-large). The preseason favorites to reach the BCS title game will both be relegated to second-best in their conferences. The Buckeyes get yet another postseason opportunity to show they can keep pace with the SEC. n BCS championship in Glendale, Ariz. Florida (SEC champion) vs. Wisconsin (Big Ten champion): The Gators have more than enough talent to make another run at the national championship. The only thing they lack is experience. And even if they lose to Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Oct. 2, they will get another shot at the Tide in Atlanta for the SEC title in December. The Badgers clear the only major hurdles on a manageable schedule by beating Ohio State at home and Iowa on the road in consecutive October weekends and play for their first national title. n BCS champion: Make it five straight for the SEC and three championships in five seasons for Urban Meyer and the Gators.

Bradley aware of mixed record of repeat coaches

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bob Bradley led the U.S. men to an upset of World Cup champion Spain, their first appearance in a final at a major FIFA tournament and the top spot in their group in South Africa. Now he has to find a way to improve on that. Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success and experience convinced U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati that he already had the right coach, outweighing any concerns about the team going stale or taking a step backward in a second four-year cycle with the same manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re familiar with the statistics of first- and second-cycle coaches,â&#x20AC;? Gulati said Tuesday, a day after Bradley agreed to an extension that runs through the end of 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the end, we came to the conclusion that his experience and record, his work over the last four years, overcame any issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think we put ourselves in the best possible position to continue the growth weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had by reappointing Bob.â&#x20AC;? Still, Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extension came as something of a surprise. He has made no secret of his desire to coach overseas someday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he was linked to the openings at Fulham and Aston Villa in the English Premier League, though had no direct discussions with either team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and many thought U.S. Soccer might want

U.S. soccer coach Bob Bradley will remain coach of the U.S. menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team through the 2014 World Cup. a fresh start in the leadup to the 2014 World Cup. National team coaches tend to have short shelf lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with good reason. West Germany coach Franz Beckenbauer may have followed a trip to the 1986 finals with the World Cup title four years later, but most struggle to replicate their initial success. Defending champion Italy and 2006 runner-up France were dismal in South Africa, despite having the same coaches as four years earlier. Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predecessor was Bruce Arena, who led the Americans on a surprising run to the quarterfinals in 2002 only to have them crash out in the first round four years later. Gulati refused to say

whether he had talked with any other candidates, including Juergen Klinsmann, who was offered the job four years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the positives greatly outweigh the other concerns,â&#x20AC;? Gulati said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think on balance weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made the best possible decision.â&#x20AC;? Unlike teams in Europe and Africa that already have begun playing qualifiers for their continental championships, the United States doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have significant games until next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gold Cup. The Americans do have exhibitions against Poland (Oct. 9) and Colombia (Oct. 12), however, and Bradley will use the games to begin looking at younger players who could help over the next four years.

Sharapova comes back to avoid first-round upset By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Maria Sharapova overcame a deficit and a big-hitting opponent to avoid a significant upset in the first round of the U.S. Open. Sharapova, the 2006 champion at Flushing Meadows, played solidly and often safely while putting together a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory over 60thranked Jarmila Groth of Australia on Tuesday. Groth hit 14 doublefaults, including on the final point of the second set. She was by far the more aggressive of the pair, taking risks that sometimes paid off and sometimes did not. She hit 24 winners to 19 for Sharapova, and made 48 unforced errors to 17 for Sharapova. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She came out firing; didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give me many opportunities,â&#x20AC;? said Sharapova, who is seeded 14th. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just want to hang in there, get

through it.â&#x20AC;? There was a lot of hanging in there on a steamy Day 2 at the U.S. Open, when the temperature rose into the mid90s. More than a dozen womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matches went three sets, and a halfdozen menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matches lasted the full five sets, including 2007 runner-up Novak Djokovicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory over his friend and Davis Cup teammate Viktor Troicki. They played for more than 3Â˝ hours, and the on-court temperature approached 110 degrees. Djokovic was down a break in the fourth set while already down, before righting himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You kind of start panicking a little bit when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel great physically,â&#x20AC;? the third-seeded Djokovic said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and your opponent takes advantage.â&#x20AC;? Mardy Fish, an American seeded 19th, also won in five sets, but

fan favorite James Blake needed only three to reach the second round. Sharapova never has lost earlier than the second round in seven U.S. Opens. But she also hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made it past the third round since taking the championship. She lost at that stage in 2007 and 2009, and missed the tournament in 2008 shortly before having right shoulder surgery. Sharapova made adjustments to her service motion after that operation, then missed nearly two months this season with a right elbow injury. But she has seemed lately to be on her way back to being a contender at the biggest tournaments, reaching the finals at two hard-court tournaments this summer. She only double-faulted twice Tuesday, and it was Groth who donated points with shaky serving, including on the last point of the second set.

conference announced the moves in simultaneous releases late Tuesday afternoon, saying further details would be given at a news conference Wednesday at BYUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LaVell Edwards Stadium. BYU said its resignation from the Mountain West takes effect June 30, 2011, allowing the Cougars to start West Coast Conference play next fall. The announcement ended nearly two weeks of speculation since BYUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original plan to go independent surfaced, then unraveled within hours when the Mountain West Conference made a protective move and invited Nevada and Fresno State to leave the WAC for the MWC. BYU had an agreement worked out with the WAC to join in all sports except football, which would play as a Bowl Subdivision independent. The Mountain Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catch of Nevada and Fresno State foiled the plan and left BYU with little time to come up with something else

before Sept. 1, the deadline to notify the Mountain West of any plans to leave before the 2011 school year. WCC commissioner Jamie Zaninovich began talks with BYU after the WAC plan fell through and was able to put together the deal in just a couple of weeks. The WCC had looked into possible expansion in the past year but decided to stick with eight teams. However, the chance to get a school the caliber of BYU was too good to pass up. The conference has just started talks to negotiate a new television deal and the new addition should only make any deal more lucrative. With perennial power Gonzaga, an emerging program at Saint Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that won two games in the NCAA tournament last year and programs like Portland and San Diego that have had success in recent years, the WCC is in position to be a regular multiple-bid league for the NCAA menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball tournament. BYU has been to 25 NCAA tournaments, including the past four seasons. Shortly after the BYU and WCC releases, Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson released his own, saying the league would continue to explore options for the future. It did not mention BYU by name or the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision to leave.

BRIDGE HAND

Open-minded wife draws the line at lap dances DEAR ABBY: My husband and I generally agree on most major issues. We agree to disagree on the minor ones. But there is one issue I think is major and he thinks is minor — strip clubs. He sees nothing wrong with having women give him lap dances. He compares it to seeing a movie — it’s “entertainment.” Abby, I’m not a prude. I wouldn’t care if he went to a strip club for a bachelor party, and I don’t object about his extensive porn collection. But it makes me feel he isn’t getting what he needs from me when he goes to a strip club by himself. I expect my husband to understand and respect my feelings. Is that too much to ask, or am I being unreasonable? — THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT? IN SALT LAKE CITY

Happy Birthday: Success is within reach but only if you take care of old business first. Financial and professional opportunities are present if you address the situations that you may have been trying to ignore.

Don’t get caught up in the moment. Do what you want to do for the right reasons. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your ideas will surprise some and captivate others. Whether at work or while volunteering your services, you will be able to develop good relationships with those able to further your current position. Love is on the rise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A new concept or idea will take off if presented properly. Don’t let someone else get involved or you may be convinced to do things in a manner that doesn’t reflect what you want to portray. Relax in the evening hours with someone special. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your emotions will take you in many different directions. Find a way to fit everything that needs to be done into your tight schedule or you will face criticism or opposition. Now is not the time to take on someone else’s burden. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be introduced to people, places and ideas that captivate your imagination and change your life forever. A fresh start will set you apart from the people and situations that have been weighing you down and holding you back. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): You may get trapped in an emotional situation that boggles the mind. Sort through whatever problems you face as quickly as possible so you don’t miss out on a fantastic professional opportunity. Stabilize your future by taking care of business first. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You need a break. Now is the time to discuss future plans. Love and passion will play a prominent role in your life. The more time spent with someone who inspires you, the better you will do. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There are deals to be made if you share your idea and propose your plans.

Follow your heart and you will realize someone you have been following is truly trying to do some good. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be faced with opposition.

It’s a new day and, with a different approach, you can get back some of the things you have lost in the past.

DEAR “?”: You don’t mind your husband going to strip clubs as long as he’s with others, and you don’t mind him looking at his “extensive porn collection”? It seems as wives go, you’re extremely liberal. It’s not unreasonable to feel uncomfortable knowing one’s spouse is being touched by a scantily clad person of the opposite sex. Because you prefer he not be there alone and he refuses to quit, consider going with him. o DEAR ABBY: I have a good friend who is extremely handsome and

Frankenstein cited over monstrous behavior in Ohio

Atlanta zoo to be inspected after snake escape

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio police say a Toby Keith fan named Forrest Frankenstein threatened them and beat his head against a partition in their cruiser after his arrest. The 39-year-old Frankenstein appeared Monday before a judge who asked why he “went crazy” at the Aug. 27 concert in Cincinnati. Frankenstein replied that he had been drinking and didn’t really remember anything. Frankenstein, of Hamilton, is being held on $80,000 bond on counts of menacing, disorderly conduct and vandalism. Keith’s hits include a song that states: “You ain’t much fun since I quit drinkin’.”

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia wildlife officials will inspect an Atlanta zoo after a venomous rattlesnake was able to escape and slither around a city neighborhood. Zoo staff noticed the female tiger rattlesnake was missing during a routine check late Friday. The snake was found dead Monday after a nearby property owner killed it. Georgia Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman Lauren Curry said Tuesday that an inspection team will be sent to Zoo Atlanta to investigate. Zoo officials have said a staff member did not properly secure a cage door. Wildlife officials have not decided whether the zoo will face any penalties for the escape.

Nigerian government locks out snoozing employees ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Snoozing Nigerian federal employees who reported late to work have gotten a rude awakening. As part of a push to end tardiness, a number of federal offices in the nation’s capital Abuja locked out hundreds of tardy workers Tuesday. The move is part of an ongoing government effort to end chronic late arrivals among employees in Africa’s most populous nation. The offices opened their doors an hour later to let the late employees in. However, so-called “Africa time” still plagues government offices in the oilrich nation of 150 million people. While ministries should be open at 8 a.m., many find operations still sluggish two hours later.

Golfer’s swing snags rock, sparks fire in S. Calif IRVINE, Calif. (AP) — Forget “Fore!” “Fire!” was the cry of the day for a golfer whose off-target swing sparked a 12-acre blaze in Southern California. The golfer at the Shady Canyon Golf Course in Irvine landed a shot in the rough Saturday. On his next swing, his club snagged a rock, causing a spark that lit the rough ablaze and eventually attracted 150 firefighters to the scene. Fire officials say the fire burned through the rough, into vegetation next to the course and over two dry, brushy hillsides. No charges were filed against the golfer, whose name was withheld.

Those who know Christ will see him Q: Do we go to heaven when we die, or do we have to wait until Jesus returns to enter heaven? My husband died a few months ago, and it would bring me great comfort to know he’s with Jesus. But a friend of mine says she thinks this can’t happen until Jesus returns. -- Mrs. P. McC. A: I don’t doubt your friend’s sincerity, but my own study of the Bible has convinced me that when we die, we enter immediately into God’s presence if we know Christ. This certainly seemed to be the Apostle Paul’s conviction. On one occasion, he was in jail awaiting trial for his faith, and he knew that his life might soon come to an end. But he didn’t face this possibility with fear. In fact, he welcomed it, because he was convinced that at death he would go immediately to be with the Lord. He wrote, “I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far” (Philippians 1:23). It’s true that at the end of this present age our souls and our bodies will be reunited, and we will be given new bodies -- bodies like that of Christ after His resurrection which will never age or perish. The Bible says, “The body that is sown (in the grave) is perishable, it is raised imperishable.... a spiritual body” (1 Corinthians 15:42,44). Thank God for the hope we have of heaven -- a hope that is secure because of what Jesus Christ did for us. Thank Him, too, that your husband is now safely in His presence forever, and that some day you will see him again. Until that day, make it your goal to live for Christ and point others to the hope we have of heaven because of Him.

Farm produces massive emerald By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — An emerald so large it’s being compared with the crown jewels of Russian empress Catherine the Great was pulled from a pit near corn rows at a North Carolina farm. The nearly 65-carat emerald its finders are marketing by the name Carolina Emperor was pulled from a farm once so well known among treasure hunters that the owners charged $3 a day to shovel for small

samples of the green stones. After the gem was cut and re-cut, the finished product was about onefifth the weight of the original find, making it slightly larger than a U.S. quarter and about as heavy as a AA battery. The emerald compares in size and quality to one surrounded by diamonds in a brooch once owned by Catherine the Great, who was empress in the 18th century, that Christie’s auction house in New York sold in April for $1.65 million, said C.R. “Cap” Beesley, a New

York gemologist who examined the stone. While big, uncut crystals and even notable gem-quality emeralds have come from the community 50 miles northwest of Charlotte called Hiddenite, there has never been one so big it’s worthy of an imperial treasury, Beesley said. “It is the largest cut emerald ever to be found in North America,” Beesley said in a telephone interview from Myanmar, an Asian

The biggest party in Sanford is about to begin

ender roles are all too rigid in our society. It amazes me that in the year 2010, so many jobs are seen as “male jobs” and many others are clearly thought of for women. Gender stereotypes are very clearly noticed in the marketing of toys for children — dolls are most clearly advertised with little girls and trucks most frequently with little boys. In a movie released not too long ago, the main INSIDE character See our worked weekly Dining as a male Guide for nurse. His local menu name was options Gaylord. Pages 4-5C That sure sends a message about what Hollywood thinks about gender roles. Many people naturally, and without intention, teach girls to be more nurturing and boys to be tough – teaching them to hold emotions in as men are “supposed” to do. Then, when the boys grow up to be men, the women complain that they aren’t nurturing enough. They complain that they keep their emotions in and don’t talk about how they feel. It’s all a little crazy. As a teacher and as a mom, I try to keep all of this in mind. I think it is important to expose all children to all different kinds of toys. I think it is good for little girls to get messy and play with trucks and for little boys to cuddle a baby doll and cry if they feel sad. I think some men look really nice in pink and a woman can look beautiful in a baseball cap. If we all could just be comfortable in our own skin, and accept others who were able to do so, the world would be a whole lot happier. That being said, I am going to go against my own ethics for just a moment. My sister is getting married in a week and a

Eggs in the raw? Experts say no way Recent salmonella scare has put a damper on a sunny side up breakfast By STEPHANIE REITZ Associated Press Writer

HARTFORD, Conn. — Experts have some simple advice when it comes to eating runny eggs these days: Run away. With salmonella concerns triggering the recall of more than a half-billion eggs in more than a dozen states, warnings are becoming more dire every day against eating undercooked yolks and translucent egg whites. But what’s a home cook to do, especially when hit by cravings for eggs Benedict, pasta carbonara, homemade Caesar dressing or other dishes that call for raw or only slightly cooked eggs? There’s no one answer for every recipe, but cooking and food safety experts agree on a

For safety sake, an egg cooked on both sides to 160 degrees, foreground, is a better choice than sunny side up, where the yolk is runny. few basics to help keep foodies in the kitchen and out of the hospital. Don’t eat any questionable

eggs — cooked or otherwise — especially if they’re part of the recall, but even if they’re not on that list but are cracked

or have been sitting in the refrigerator for a while (eggs remain fresh for about a month after purchase). “Eggs are cheap. Throw them away. It’s that simple,” said Brad Barnes, an associate dean at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. When frying or scrambling eggs, they must be cooked to a temperature of 160 F. This means about 2 to 3 minutes per side for a fried egg, or until solid for scrambled. A digital instant thermometer is the best way of knowing when you’ve hit the proper temperature. For fried eggs, take a break from sunny-side up and try eggs over hard: fried on one side, then flipped and fried well on the other.

Obamas dish on daughters’ doings By DARLENE SUPERVILLE

By ANNE WALLACE ALLEN

Associated Press Writer

For The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Twelve-year-old Malia Obama wears braces, toots a flute and is after her father to save the tigers. Younger sister Sasha, who is 9, shoots hoops like her basketball-loving dad and dances hip-hop. Both girls get up at 6 a.m. to get ready for school. Barack and Michelle Obama put their girls off-limits to the news media after they moved to the White House, saying they wanted to keep their daughters’ lives as normal as possible. But tidbits about the private doings of the youngest children to live in the White House since the Kennedy family do dribble out. Often they come from a surprising source: Mom and Dad. It was President Barack Obama who revealed, perhaps to his daughter’s utter embarrassment, that Malia had been fitted with braces. He also spilled her plans to spend most of August at camp. “She’s my baby,” he said of Malia, straying from his script at a political fundraiser of all places. “Even though she’s 5-(foot)-9 now, she’s still my baby. And she just got braces, which is good, because she looks like a kid and she was getting ... she’s starting to look too old for me.” The prospect of spending even part of the summer without his first born around also had Obama waxing sentimental. Asked about summer vacation plans, Obama told an interviewer that “a month of it’s going to be taken up with Malia going away for camp, which she’s never done before. And I may shed a tear when she’s on the way out.” In a separate interview, Obama said his daughters have savings accounts and they get an allowance, though he didn’t say how much they get or how often they get it. He also said

t some point during my first pregnancy 12 years ago, I was swept up by the idea that I needed to be the world’s perfect mother. I left a demanding job that I loved to take 14 months of maternity leave for two kids, and then spent the next decade working part-time or not at all. That demanding job nourished me, and it pained me to stay home. But I didn’t want to leave my daughter’s side and I got used to the novelty of not being at the office at 10 a.m. And I eventually stopped asking myself, “Who are all these people in the coffee shop — don’t they have jobs?” Recently, it became clear it was time to go back, but I wondered: Would I leave the Perfect Mom title behind? Working part-time had been stressful. My schedule-juggling wrought havoc on my colleagues, and I felt guilty for working less than they did. But I loved being home with my daughter, and later my son, who arrived 20 months later. I liked carting them around to the grocery store. I liked taking them for runs in the jogger and singing them to sleep for their naps. I wasn’t crazy about story hour at the library, but the joys of being home still far outweighed the pains of being a part-timer at work. Things went on much this way for a decade. But this past May I decided to take a full-time job. My daughter was 11; my son, 10. I was tired of the marginal life of the part-timer. My husband wanted to go back to school. And we had to get

Christine Beinhacker gets a hug from her daughter Helena, 6, as she picks her up from day camp Friday in Alexandria, Va. “It’s not smooth and easy,” said Beinhacker, an IT worker in Washington, D.C., who returned to work in June when her daughter was six. “It was rough at first.” better health insurance. But I worried, of course. What effect would this have on the kids? Stephanie Coontz, an oft-quoted academic who monitors the torrent of national news and commentary on working and parenting, says kids are happiest when parents are leading balanced and satisfying lives, whether that means working outside the home or not. “The worst thing you can do as a parent, mother or father, is beat yourself up about the decisions you’re making,” said Coontz, who teaches history and family studies at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. “That’s a really important thing to remember,” said Coontz. “We actually make it worse when we feel guilty. The kids just want us to relax and have fun with the time we do have.” So, what has happened? In three months, little has changed. I dropped my role as a Girl Scout

co-leader, but my daughter was ready to move on anyway. I stopped putting away the laundry and started piling it on the air hockey table. The kids put it away themselves. I’m not home in the morning to help the kids find their clothes, homework, and lunches; my husband gets them to school. No one seems to mind. A few things have made this transition easier. I like the job and have an easy commute, plus I can work 7 am to 4 pm, enabling me to arrive home when the kids do. Recently I asked my daughter what she made of my transition from part-time to fulltime. The conversation surprised both of us. She knew I’d gotten a new job, but she hadn’t realized, until I asked her, that I was working full-time. In fact, she hadn’t noticed a difference. As far as the kids are concerned, as long as I’m home when they get home from school,

or shortly thereafter, nothing’s changed. The lesson in all this for the working mother? Find a job you enjoy that allows you to work reasonable hours. That’s not simple, of course. It comes through good planning and good luck. I asked some newly working mothers what it was like to make the transition. “It’s not smooth and easy,” said Christine Beinhacker, an IT worker in Washington, D.C., who returned to work in June when her daughter was six. “It was rough at first.” “I wanted to be home with my girl, and I didn’t know if I liked the job or the people or the commute,” she said. But after a few weeks, “I realized the people are nice and the job is good.” If it hadn’t been, “I probably wouldn’t have stood for it, because I didn’t have a financial crunch that has forced me back to work,” said Beinhacker, whose husband owns a small business in northern Virginia. “I’m feeling pretty lucky right now,” she said. So am I.

country rich in precious gems. The discovery is a rarity for emeralds found not in the rich veins of South America and Asia but in North America, said Robert Simon, owner of Windsor Jewelers in Winston-Salem. “Most of the stones that have come out have not been gem-quality that I would mount in jewelry,” said Simon, who was part owner of a 7.85-carat, dime-sized emerald found in the same community in 1998 that has since been set in jewelry and sold to a private owner. Terry Ledford, 53, found the roughly 2-inchsquare chunk rimmed with spots of iron a year ago on a 200-acre farm owned by business partner Renn Adams, 90, and his siblings. The rural community of Hiddenite is named for a paler stone that resembles emerald. “It was so dark in color that holding it up to the sun you couldn’t even get the light to come through it,” a quality that ensured an intense green hue once the stone was cut with facets that allowed light into the gem’s core,

Ledford said. The North Carolina stone was cut to imitate the royal emerald, Ledford said. A museum and some private collectors interested in buying the emerald have been in contact, Ledford said. Modeling an empress’s emerald is likely to have less influence on the North Carolina stone’s sale price than its clarity, color and cut, said Douglas Hucker, CEO of the American Gem Trade Association, a Dallas, Texas-based trade association for dealers in colored gems. “A 65-carat cut emerald from North Carolina is a big, big stone,” he said. But “once an emerald is cut, it’s subject to the same type of market conditions that any emerald would be.” Emeralds are part of North Carolina’s mineral claim to fame, though other places in the U.S. also are rich in gems. Maine mines have yielded aquamarine and amethyst, Montana bears sapphires, Idaho is known for star garnets, and Arkansas has diamonds. It’s not fully known why small, subterranean cavities containing emeralds formed in central North Carolina, said geologist Michael

the girls are getting old enough where they may be able to start earning money by baby-sitting. The first lady is also guilty of breaching the privacy wall she and her husband put up around the girls. “Malia’s one issue for her father is saving the tigers,” Mrs. Obama told an audience of young children visiting the White House. “So we talk about the tigers at least once a week and what he’s doing to save the tigers.” Tigers apparently are Malia’s favorite creature. Mrs. Obama also has revealed that: ❏ Both girls play the piano; Malia also plays the flute. ❏ Sasha likes to dance hip-hop. The girls also are working on their tennis game. ❏ They are not allowed to watch TV during the week, and weekend viewing is limited. ❏ The girls can only use the computer during the week if they need to for school assignments. The White House says the Obamas are just behaving like, well, parents when they talk about Malia and Sasha. “I think they’re proud of their daughters and, you know, they do not try to go out of their way. There’s no strategic decision to talk about them,” press secretary Robert Gibbs said in an interview. “I think a lot of it comes from ... pride.” Even their grandmother, Marian Robinson, has dished a detail or two; she said the girls have separate bedrooms. The Obamas aren’t the first presidential parents to want to shield children from life in the fishbowl known as Washington. First lady Jacqueline Kennedy sought to keep her children, Caroline and John Jr., out of the glare as much as possible. After she left the White House, she advised other first families with young children, such as Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton, to do the same.

Wise of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, who has studied the underground world around Hiddenite for years. Emeralds are produced where a superheated fluid carrying the element beryllium migrated through rocks that contain chromium, Wise said. “This doesn’t happen frequently,” Wise said. “The conditions have to be just right to make an emerald. ... It happens to be the case at this particular place.” Adams said decades ago when his parents owned the farm, they allowed anyone with a shovel to dig for emeralds on the property for $3 a day. Virtually all of it was too full of flaws to be cut into precious stones and was mostly sold to mineral collectors, Adams said. Ledford said they don’t plan to quit after pocketing the profits from their big find, Ledford said. “We’ll definitely keep on mining,” he said. “It would be good to know you don’t have to go and could do it for pleasure. You feel like you’ve got to find something to survive but since we found this emerald, once we get it sold, there will be less stress.”

be a great county fair. Admission to the fair is $6 and an armband can be purchased for $17, allowing you to ride as many rides as you can handle. Or you can purchase individual ride tickets. Armbands can be purchased in advance for $14 starting Sept. 1, and can be purchased at area schools and at Piggly Wiggly. The admission fee paid at the gate will allow fairgoers to attend all special events and exhibits. Senior citizens (65 years and older) and students will be admitted free on Tuesday, children under 36 inches will be admitted free all week. As in the past the Fair will continue to showcase agriculture and youth events through its many entries in the exhibit hall, livestock barn and on the ball field. Opening events on Tuesday will be the youth and adult truck and tractor driving competition on the ball field and the youth broiler competition in the Barn. Our fourth annual Meat Goat Show sponsored by Lee County Farm Bureau will be held on Wednesday night in the Arena Barn. The Livestock Show will be held on Thursday night followed by the Champion Poultry and Livestock Auction. C-CAPE club members will demonstrate various antique farm equipment, including a wheat threshing demonstration, throughout the week. All during the week elementary students can participate in the “Goodness Grows” competition by identifying agricultural terms posted around the fairgrounds. The Diaper Derby and 4-H Dog Show will be held on Saturday. I encourage you to participate in the Fair by entering exhibits. Entries will be accepted on Saturday from 1 to 8 p.m. and then again on Sunday, from 1 to 5 p.m.. Bring your prize-winning exhibits to the Agricultural Exhibit hall. Since this is a regional fair, entries can come from counties adjoining Lee County and beyond. Again this year there will a drawing for $500 for one youth and $500 for one adult who enter exhibits. Judging will take place on Monday, Sept. 13. Watch for the Fair catalog that will come out in The Herald on Sept. 4. This will give you a couple of weeks to prepare your entries. Additional copies can be picked up at the Extension Center on Tramway Road, at area schools or at businesses around town that support the Fair. Again this year we will have the cook-off contests. Starting with the Mayor’s Choice Cookie Bake-Off for youth. This year the cookie of choice is oatmeal cookie and the contest will follow the Lee Regional Fair Parade showcasing Lee County and Southern Lee High School Marching Bands and the ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday. The mayors of Sanford and Broadway along with other dignitaries will judge the cookies and hopefully samples will be left for those watching to try. Additional food contest will include homemade ice cream, chili and cakes. The Cake Cook-off will be held on Wednesday evening at 5:30 p.m.; the Chili Cook-off on Thursday evening at 5:30 p.m. and the Ice Cream contest on Saturday

afternoon at 2:30 p.m. To register for these events or to obtain the competition guidelines call the Extension Center.

Childcare and preschool visits are planned for Thursday morning and Wash Board Willie and Wand a will be entertaining folks as they wander the fairgrounds. There will be nonstop entertainment at the Lions Pavilion, located near their new renovated kitchen. In additional to all the great food from the Lions and the midway vendors, the Leo Club will be selling fresh roasted corn-on-the-cob. Playworld Unlimited returns for the sixth year with more rides that promise to be bigger and better. The fair chair, Ronnie Turner, says this will be the biggest and best midway ever. To accommodate fairgoers, additional parking space is planned on Weatherspoon and 5th Street. Sanford police officers will be on hand to assist patrons with crossing the road. As you can see, the fair has much to offer to both young and young at heart. There will be plenty of food, rides, music, commercial exhibits, games and prizes for all. The Lions are working hard to get the fairgrounds in tiptop shape and as always this year’s fair promises to be another exciting event. Watch The Herald for the fair catalog and daily updates, listen to the local radio stations and watch the cable channels or check out the Sanford Lions Club web site at http://sanfordlionsclub. com/ for a complete listing of Fair events and information. With all the new events and improvements, the Lee Regional Fair will definitely be another “Award Winning Fair.” Susan C.

GARDEN GUIDE

Crops to cover the backyard

ver think about planting a cover crop in your vegetable garden? Cover crops are plants grown to protect the soil from winter erosion and prevent winter weed growth, as well as add organic matter back to the soil. In addition, cover crops catch and use soil nutrients that would otherwise leach away. A cover crop can be a grass, a legume, or a plant that is neither. In addition, a cover crop can be a mixture of plant species, usually a grass species and a legume species. Legumes are plants in the bean or pea family, such as crimson clover, hairy vetch, and Austrian winter peas. These plants are unique in that they have the ability to fix nitrogen. Bacteria that live in a symbiotic relationship with plant roots change atmospheric nitrogen into plant-usable nitrogen. Cover crops can be planted at any time of the year; however the season you choose to plant a cover crop will determine which plant species can be used. Often, cover crops are planted during the winter, since there is less growing in the garden. Cover crops can be planted in the summer as well. If you choose to use a cover crop for the winter months, seed

should be planted in September or October. The plant should have time to become established before cold weather begins. For a winter cover crop you could use crimson clover, hairy vetch or Austrian winter peas as legumes and rye, oats or wheat as grasses. In the summer, buckwheat is a great cover crop. To prepare your soil for a cover crop, till the garden. Old plant residue should be composted, but any remaining debris can be tilled under. Level the soil, and then sow the seed. Larger seeds can be planted in shallow, closely spaced rows while small seed can be evenly broadcasted across the

soil. Be sure to water the area to get a healthy stand established. In the spring, about one month before you plan to plant your garden, till the cover crop into the soil. If the cover crop is tall, you may need to mow it first. By incorporating the cover crop into the soil, you will add organic matter and nutrients (especially if you used a legume) back into the soil. Cover crops are beneficial to a home vegetable garden in many ways. Plus, using grass and legume plants help to rotate crops through the garden, preventing disease and insect buildup.

IN THE YARD

Best bug control? Invite in the birds By DEAN FOSDICK For The Associated Press

Growers are beginning to understand that common birds can be of uncommon value to fields, lawns and gardens. Many avian species earn their keep by eating insects and small mammals, and destroying weed seeds. “Commercial growers are turning to birds as an alternative or supplement to pesticides,” said Marion Murray, an Integrated Pest Management project leader with Utah State University Cooperative Extension. “But you have to have the environment or habitat before inviting them in.” That means mimicking nature by providing plenty of food, water and cover. Put up some bluebird boxes or nest boxes for raptors, said Marne Titchenell, a wildlife specialist with Ohio State University Extension. “Monitor the bluebird boxes so sparrows don’t take over,” she said. “Brushier habitat provides protection for insect-eating songbirds. Allow the edges of your woodlot to grow up a bit. Berry-producing shrubs are excellent things to

An Eastern bluebird photographed near McLeansville. Eastern bluebirds are voracious insect feeders, especially during nesting and rearing periods. Their primary diet includes flies, katydids, beetles, worms and spiders. They’re aerialists, catching insects on the fly or pouncing on them on the ground. have around for all kinds of wildlife.” Birds occupy a unique place in nature, according to the authors of a timeless 1912 study, “Red Bird, Green Bird: How Birds Help Us Grow Healthy Gardens,” by Harry A. Gossard and Scott G. Harry (Ohio State University Extension, revised edition 2009). “Each species performs a service which no other can so well accomplish,” the authors said. Raptors such as hawks and owls chase down field mice, moles and grasshoppers. Insectivores like bluebirds, chickadees

and woodpeckers stalk beetles, worms and grubs. Meadowlarks are ground feeders, favoring meadows and farm fields where they gorge on grasshoppers and weevils. Robins focus on lawns and gardens, where they pull up cutworms, wireworms and other larvae injurious to crops. Chickadees are birds of the forest, eating tent caterpillars, bark beetles and plant lice. Goldfinches prefer open country where they can pursue

caterpillars and flies. “No other bird destroys so many thistle seeds,” the authors say. “An individual tree swallow, barn swallow, purple martin or chimney swift can eat up to a thousand flying insects a day,” said David Bonter, assistant director of Citizen Science with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. “They can have a big impact.” While it’s great to have these specialized bug hunters around if you’re a grain farmer, small commercial farmer or orchard grower, recruiting should be directed toward a variety of species, said Margaret Brittingham, a professor of wildlife resources at Penn State University. “All insect eaters feed at different heights, on different plants and prefer different insects,” she said. “Having some (bird) diversity is important in maintaining insect populations. What we don’t want to wind up with is having a monoculture with birds as we frequently do with plants, inviting problems.”

6C / Wednesday, September 1, 2010 / The Sanford Herald COOKING ON DEADLINE

Rotisserie chicken is a blank slate By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor

Once again, the rotisserie chicken rescues the weeknight cook. And I’m fairly confident I’ve never actually eaten a rotisserie chicken as one would a traditional roasted chicken — as in, slabs or chunks of meat hacked from the bird. In my cooking, these chickens are a not-soraw (thankfully!) ingredient on which to build the rest of the meal without adding any cooking time. As in this recipe, which tosses the meat with grated Parmesan cheese, blanched asparagus and some pasta.

Best yet, the recipe is totally versatile. Substitute (and cook the same way) any firm veggie for the asparagus. Broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, whatever.Same for the cheese and pasta. Use what you have or what you like. And while fresh pastas cook quickly, any pasta — including whole-grain — works well.

FETTUCCINI WITH PARMESAN, CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS Start to finish: 25 minutes Servings: 4 1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces 12-ounce package fresh fettuccini 3 cups shredded cooked

chicken 1/2 cup chicken broth Pinch red pepper flakes 1 cup grated Parmesan 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces Salt and ground black pepper, to taste Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2 minutes, or until bright green and just barely tender. Use a slotted spoon and remove to a plate. Return the water to a boil. Add the pasta to the water and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over mediumlow, combine the cooked chicken, broth and red pepper flakes. Heat until warmed through.

In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, pasta and chicken with broth. Add the butter and Parmesan, then toss well until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

THE HEALTHY PLATE

Cooked or raw, tomatoes pack nutritional punch By JIM ROMANOFF For The Associated Press

Conventional wisdom says that cooking vegetables tends to diminish their nutritional prowess. And while there is some truth to this, it isn’t always the case. Cooking tomatoes does diminish their stores of vitamin C, but it also concentrates other nutrients, such as lycopene (found in red tomatoes), a powerful antioxidant. Cooking tomatoes also is great from a culinary standpoint. Heat intensifies their flavor and brings out their rich sweetness by caramelizing the natural sugars. This is an especially good technique when working with out-of-season tomatoes. With this recipe for

gazpacho, you can have it either way. Traditionally, gazpacho is a fresh, pureed tomato soup of Spanish origin. It typically is made with lots of garlic, onions, bell peppers and cucumbers. This Italian-style take on the refreshing soup is seasoned with fresh basil and oregano along with a liberal shot of balsamic vinegar. The addition of some fresh mozzarella cheese adds the protein and substance to turn the soup into a satisfying lunch or light supper. Serve with grilled slabs of crusty whole-grain bread to complete the meal. For a cooked version of this recipe, spread the diced tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and roast at 400 F until they start to brown. Let them cool, then pro-

ceed with the recipe.

TOMATO AND ITALIAN HERB GAZPACHO Start to finish: 1 hour 35 minutes (20 minutes active) Servings: 6 to 8 5 cups cored and diced tomatoes (about 4 large) 1 large English cucumber, peeled and diced (about 2 cups) 1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded and coarsely chopped 1 medium red onion, chopped 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste Ground black pepper, to taste 6 ounces very small fresh mozzarella balls

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, vinegar, oil, basil, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Let the mixture rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Using a food processor or blender and working in batches, process the tomato mixture until it is chunky smooth, about 10 to 15 pulses in a processor. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. To serve, divide gazpacho among bowls and top with mozzarella. Nutrition information per serving (values are rounded to the nearest whole number): 169 calories; 110 calories from fat; 12 g fat (4 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 17 mg cholesterol; 10 g carbohydrate; 5 g protein; 2 g fiber; 141 mg sodium.

Eggs Continued from Page 1C

Mopping up oozing yolks with toast? Bad idea. Consider making hard-boiled eggs rather than soft by gently simmering them for about 15 minutes. Hard-boiled eggs last about a week in the refrigerator. As for poached eggs, a little longer is a little better. Though most recipes suggest short cooking times in barely simmering water, for safety it’s best to let the egg go for about 5 minutes at a gentle boil. Drinking raw eggs for a protein boost? Even worse idea, given the risk of salmonella and its violent nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and temporary residency in the bathroom. “We’ve got enough issues. Who needs to be barfing because of raw eggs?” asked Douglas Powell, an associate professor of food safety at Kansas State University and author of BarfBlog. com, which highlights food-handling problems in the news and in popular culture. He advises cooks to use a food thermometer in their frittatas, quiches and other egg dishes — and, in fact, when preparing meat or anything that poses dangers when undercooked. But what’s a foodie to do when raw egg is essential to a recipe, as in mayonnaise and carbonara? Take a tip from Paul Stern, who cooks for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, an Ashford, Conn., camp for seriously ill children, many with compromised immune systems. Last year, they cracked about 300 shell eggs every morning. This year, the camp switched (before the recall) to pasteurized liquid egg product. “I wouldn’t be consuming or serving raw

half. We had a conversation this past weekend about things that she is looking forward to about being married. It’s funny, because one of her answers was the same as mine was two years ago. She replied (among other things), “I am thrilled that I will never have to take out the trash again”. Even in 2010, there are some jobs that it is just nice to have a man around to do. Allowing herself to fit into a gender stereotype as well, she made a promise to her fiancé that if he always takes out the trash, she’ll always do the laundry. I think he makes out pretty well on that one. Along with taking out the trash, it seems that men are usually the ones to take charge of the grill. It is that way in my family and it works fine for us. I am sure if we were without electricity and Ross was out of town, I could figure out how to

eggs any more than I’d be eating or serving raw chicken,” said Stern. As the name implies, pasteurized egg product — usually sold in cartons near the milk — has been gently heated to kill off pathogens, meaning it should be safe to consume even when not fully cooked. It’s not a perfect substitution, but for most home cooks it should do the job just fine. “It’s not exactly the same as a fresh egg, of course, but certainly in this instance — and I’m sure they’ll have this situation cleaned up pretty rapidly — I think everybody should be able to make do for a few days,” said Barnes. The salmonella concerns, which center on eggs from two Iowa farms, prompted a recall of about 550 million eggs. The federal Centers for Disease Control has said there could be as many as 1,300 salmonella illnesses linked to the eggs, and that for every reported case there could be 30 or more that go unreported. San Francisco-based food scientist Harold McGee, author of the upcoming “Keys to Good Cooking,” isn’t all that worried. Though he gets his eggs from local producers, he said he wouldn’t hesitate to consume uncooked supermarket eggs in a recipe. He would draw the line at serving them to a pregnant woman, child or elderly person or someone with an illness that might weaken their immunity. But overall, he thinks the odds of getting sick favor the home cook. “For home cooks, it’s less of a problem than for institutions that are going to be cracking lots and lots of eggs and then pooling them to make a particular dish,” he said. “The moment you start to add more than one egg to what you’re making, mathematically your odds of having a problem go up.”

cook up a meal outside. But, as long as he is here and he enjoys it, I’m fine with preparing the side dishes inside and letting him take charge of the outdoor cooking. Courtesy of my soonto-be-married sister, this recipe for Asian marinade is delicious. It works well for any sort of veggie, chicken, steak, seafood – anything that you slap on the grill will taste even more delicious after soaking in here for a bit, no matter who in the family is the one standing behind the grill.

ASIAN MARINADE 1 tablespoon honey ½ cup sesame oil (important ingredient – flavor will not be the same if another oil is substituted!) ½ cup soy sauce ½ cup rice wine vinegar 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes ½ teaspoon ginger Black pepper to taste Mix all ingredients. Let food sit in marinade for at least one hour, or up to overnight.

Recommended tests One of the problems with our health care system is that many Americans, and their doctors, seem to think that better health means more medical care, including as many screenings and tests as possible. But that’s not necessarily true. According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) — an independent panel of medical experts that reviews the effectiveness of screenings — many screening tests are unproven and can not only waste your time and money but also cause more harm than good. Here’s what the task force recommends (see www. ahrq.gov/ppip/50plus) as essential tests for you and your husband, and when you should start getting them.

Other screenings

Some additional screenings to consider are skin examinations by a dermatologist to check for skin cancers; depression screening if you’ve been feeling down; dental checkups at least once a year; HIV screening if you’ve had unprotected sex with multiple partners; annual eye exams starting at age 60 to check of age-related eye diseases; hearing tests by an audiologist every five years starting at 65; and for women 50 and older, a thyroid-simulating hormone test every five years to check for thyroid disease.

Vaccinations In addition to health screenings, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all seniors, 65 and older get a one-time pneumonia (pneumococcal) shot, and those over 60 should be vaccinated for shingles. It’s also recommended that everyone over 50 get a yearly flu shot, along with a tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap) booster which is recommended every 10 years (if you’re over 65, you only need a tetanusdiphtheria booster).

Private colleges ‘act local’ with financial aid By ERIC GORSKI AP Education Writer

oping to portray themselves as more affordable and all-around better neighbors, private colleges from Appalachia to Boston are sweetening financial aid packages for students from their own backyards. The latest and most prestigious example is Northwestern University. By targeting local students in financial need, Northwestern is seeking to boost minority enrollment, strengthen local ties and stay competitive in the college admissions race at a time when many private schools are increasing aid based on student merit instead of financial circumstances. “You may be thinking globally about your education curriculum,” David Warren, president of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, said of such efforts. “But you’re increasingly acting locally with respect to students.” Northwestern’s “Good Neighbor, Great University” scholarships will be awarded starting in fall 2011 to about 100 incoming freshman who graduated from high schools in Evanston, Ill., home to Northwestern’s main campus, and Chicago, site of its medical school. About 2,000 first-year students enroll at Northwestern annually. Students whose families show financial need — there is no income cut-off — will be eligible for scholarships replacing loans and payments from work-study. The majority of students who qualify will receive enough aid to fully cover the cost of Northwestern’s $40,223 annual tuition and fees, said Michael Mills, associate provost for university enrollment. The program was rec-

A debater and poet who was raised by his grandmother, Williams settled on Northwestern as a high-school sophomore, attended a summer debate camp there and won financial aid to cover tuition. ommended by a university task force on diversity and inclusion, which was formed following racial tensions on campus, including a controversy last fall over two students who dressed up in blackface for Halloween. After its black student enrollment peaked at nearly 10 percent during the Carter administration, Northwestern experienced a slow and steady decline, Mills said. This year’s incoming freshman class is about 7.2 percent black, up from 4.5 percent three years ago, which Mills attributed in part to better outreach to Chicago Public Schools and waiving the $65 application fee for its students. The university expects to enroll 60 CPS graduates in this fall’s freshman class, up from 28 in fall 2008. Turning again to Chicago for the new scholarship program seemed a logical step considering the city’s racial diversity and the strong Chicago

connections of faculty and board members, he said. Joshua Williams, 22, a 2010 Northwestern graduate who graduated from high school on Chicago’s South Side, sought Northwestern out rather than being courted. A debater and poet who was raised by his grandmother, Williams settled on Northwestern as a high-school sophomore, attended a summer debate camp there and won financial aid to cover tuition. “Now we see a Northwestern that has a new face, that is more proactive, reaching out to public schools,” said Williams, who is AfricanAmerican and served on the diversity task force. In developing the new scholarship program, Mills said Northwestern also was searching for answers after watching too many accepted students take merit-based scholarships at comparable and lesser schools. “You’ve got all the

evidence in the world to show kids you’ve recruited are smart enough to get admitted and predisposed to attend Northwestern, then you watch them sort of get plucked away,” he said. The program should help local families that traditionally have earned too much to get a free ride and too little to afford Northwestern, said Patrick Tassoni, college coordinator at Chicago’s Northside Preparatory High School. “Many colleges are saying, ’You’re accepted, please send your $20,000 check to ...”’ Tassoni said of the plight of middleincome families. “That’s when families really start to compare the different financial aid packages at schools. Maybe now, more moderate-income families will be less apprehensive to apply to Northwestern.” Among other private colleges that are going local with new or expanded financial aid, some

directly tied to students’ financial need and others not: ❏ Last fall, Davis & Elkins College in rural West Virginia started offering discounted tuition to freshmen from seven nearby counties to make its cost comparable to that of West Virginia University. The small Presbyterian college says it was seeking to both reach enrollment targets and deepen ties to the area, which has low median household incomes and college attendance rates. The freshmen class from those counties grew from 16 in 2009-09 to 87 in 2009-10, and this fall is projected at 122, officials say. ❏ Also last fall, the University of Evansville began offering up to $18,000 a year, for up to four years, to all high school graduates or permanent residents of Vanderburgh County, Ind., its home county. School officials say their main motivation is to get

more students living on campus and fully experiencing college life. Living in campus housing is required. ❏ Boston University in 2008 announced expanded aid to Boston Public School students, replacing loans with grants to eligible students who meet academic targets and do 25 hours of community service per semester. The average family income of recipients is $68,000, said Laurie Pohl, vice president for enrollment and student affairs. Along with keeping up local relations, Pohl said BU is seeking a competitive edge for the best students in its primary markets — more important because the number of high school graduates nationally is projected to dip in the next five years. ❏ In Worcester, Mass., the red brick buildings of the College of Holy Cross literally loom over the city, seemingly out of reach of many working-class residents. So in 2008, the 2,700-student college began offering free tuition to city residents whose families earn less than $50,000 a year — also roughly what it costs to attend Holy Cross each year. “Our local kids felt, ’Holy Cross, ooh, that sticker price,”’ said Lynne Myers, director of financial aid. “We wanted a clear understanding that we are your neighbor, we’re sitting right here on the hill, and we want to be accessible to you.” Annie Le, raised by a single mother on disability and welfare, is one of 23 students who have taken the offer. “I’m the first girl in my family to go to college. My mom didn’t want me to go away, and now she’s just a few minutes away,” said Le, who was also able to keep her job waitressing at a pancake restaurant. “It just made it a lot easier.”

EMMY AWARDS: FASHION

TV/film stars do sunset shades on Emmys red carpet By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP Fashion Writer

late-summer sunset with vibrant purple, red and blue gowns dominated the horizon at the 62nd Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. One-shoulder silhouettes, updos and bold jewelry also were big trends. Lea Michele, a fairly new player to the red-carpet frenzy, nailed it in a very grown-up navy Oscar de la Renta gown with a strapless neckline and

ruffled mermaid bottom. “I wanted to do blue — I’ve done black and green,” Michele said. “I was ready for blue to be the color, and I love Oscar de la Renta so when I saw this, it was like he read my mind.” This could have been a too-mature look for Michele, but her youthful energy was her best accessory, said Lawrence Zarian, of TV Guide Network’s Fashion Team. Michele is petite, noted Karla Martinez, fashion market director for W magazine, but the silhouette of

her gown accentuated her shape just right. “Glee” co-star Jane Lynch was one of the biggest — and surprising — hits of the night. The purple one-shoulder by Ali Rahimi “suited her spectacularly,” Zarian said. January Jones and Christina Hendricks, both from the heavily stylized “Mad Men,” lived up to their on-screen fashionista counterparts in colorful look-at-me gowns. Jones wore a bright, electricblue corset gown with an uneven hem and stiff

A-line skirt by Versace, and Hendricks wore a pale lilac Zac Posen with feathers on the sleeves and hemline and the very low neckline audiences have grown accustomed to seeing her — and her hourglass figure — in. But Zarian said that while he appreciated the risks both actresses took, they ended up with dresses that would get more attention than they would for wearing them. “January’s dress was very architectural, a beautiful blue, but the dress wore

her. January has a such a passion for fashion herself, so she tends to dress the other end of the spectrum and not do a conservative Betty Draper,” he said. As for Hendricks, Zarian said the soft color was right for her, but the detailed gown, which was lovely on its own, had too much going on for such a voluptuous figure. Sofia Vergara went with the statuette look in a gold, ombre beaded Carolina Herrera that Martinez loved, but she thought the matchy-matchy, oversized

gold earrings were too much. She did like the diamond Stephen Russell pins that new mom Amy Poehler used to jazz up her tank-strap slate-blue Max Azria gown and the floral Lorraine Schwartz earrings on Jane Krakowski. Krakowski also touched on the blue, one-shoulder and updo trends in her custom Escada gown and soft, wavy locks. Elisabeth Moss wore a chic, dove-gray Donna Karan one-shoulder, and Julie Benz had one a white one by Pamella Roland. Emily Blunt’s goddesslike, lilac gown had cream-colored beads on the straps. Edie Falco went very sleek in a one-shoulder, black Bottega Veneta. Julia Louis-Dreyfus found a way to stand out in black: She tapped longtime friend Narciso Rodriguez to make her black, squareneck gown with a sheer panel on the bodice that should send everyone to the gym. Her Irene Neuwirth turquoise earrings and bracelets captured the right seasonal, boho vibe. Tina Fey, in an Art Deco-style Oscar de la Renta, and Eva Longoria, in a tight-bodice, ruffledbottom Robert Rodriguez, also were in the black-dress club that’s always in force at awards shows.
