Today is Sunday, May 2, the 122nd day of 2010. There are 243 days left in the year. This day in history: On May 2, 1960, Caryl Chessman, who’d become a best-selling author and cause celebre while on death row for kidnapping, rape and robbery, was executed at San Quentin Prison in California. In 1863, Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was accidentally wounded by his own men at Chancellorsville, Va.; he died eight days later. In 1885, Good Housekeeping magazine was first published in Holyoke, Mass. In 1908, the original version of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” with music by Albert Von Tilzer and lyrics by Jack Norworth, was copyrighted by Von Tilzer’s York Music Co. In 1957, Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, the controversial Republican senator from Wisconsin, died at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. In 1970, jockey Diane Crump became the first woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby; she finished in 15th place aboard Fathom. (The winning horse was Dust Commander.) One year ago: The Dallas Cowboys’ tentlike practice structure collapsed during a severe storm in Irving, Texas; a dozen people were hurt, including scouting assistant Rich Behm, who was left paralyzed from the waist down. Mine That Bird, a 50-1 shot, stunned the field by capturing the Kentucky Derby. Jack Kemp, former quarterback, congressman and vice presidential nominee, died in Bethesda, Md. at 73.

Woman injured when picnic table tips

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A High Point woman was injured Saturday when the picnic table she and friends were sitting at flipped outside of the wine-tasting tent at the Sanford Pottery Festival. According to a witness who asked not to be named, the woman, described as in her 60s or 70s, hit the pavement with the back of her head after she and a few others sat down on a bench connected to a picnic table and umbrella around 2 p.m. Saturday. On-site emergency personnel assisted the woman within minutes until an ambulance arrived. The woman was fitted with a temporary neck brace before the ambulance arrived. The witness said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the woman was seriously injured and that the neck brace and ambulance were â&#x20AC;&#x153;precautionary.â&#x20AC;? The injured womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was not released, nor was her condition as of press time Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Billy Liggett

Pottery Continued from Page 1A

the ninth annual Sanford Pottery Festival at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center Saturday. Day 2 begins at 10 a.m. today and runs through 4 p.m. While pottery and the artists have always been the star of the show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as was the case Saturday as organizers estimated nearrecord crowds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the wine tent and the debut of a handful of chocolatiers are stealing some of the thunder, which is nothing but good news to David Nestor, a co-organizer of the wine tasting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hit the total number of visitors in the wine tent from both days last year at 12:30 (p.m.) today,â&#x20AC;? Nestor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 700 people already ... weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very pleased.â&#x20AC;? Cost to enter the tent is $10 (in addition to the Pottery Festival ticket), and for that price, visitors get a logo wine glass and free samples of all the wine they can drink (or handle). The crowd was a welcome sight to Farrar, who started making win as a hobby 15 years ago but began selling it less than two years ago in local stores and supermarkets. Like the other businesses, Hammerstone was selling bottles and boxes of wine in addition to the free tastings, and by 2 p.m. Sat-

urday, Farrar said he was close to running out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a very successful day,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping we last to the end of the day.â&#x20AC;? Hammerstone specializes in sweeter wines, such as its award-winning blueberry wine and its variety of muscadine, white scuppernong, strawberry and peach wines. The sweet wines were a hit, as were the reds being sold by Uwharrie Vineyards from Albemarle. Co-owner Ray Bombardieri said the first half of Saturday was â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-stopâ&#x20AC;? for his business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love these festivals, because of the exposure ... more people become

aware of whom we are,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very happy to bring them a quality North Carolina product.â&#x20AC;? Marsha Durynck of Pittsboro bought a case of reds from Uwharrie Saturday, calling it the â&#x20AC;&#x153;best cabs and merlotsâ&#x20AC;? at the festival. A self-described â&#x20AC;&#x153;gourmand, not gourmetâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to wine, she said North Carolina is becoming a strong challenger when it comes to wines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done tastings at Napa (Valley), and I think (North Carolina) is coming up,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting better.â&#x20AC;? The newbies to the festival Saturday were the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;dessert artistsâ&#x20AC;? like Steven Vagasky of Vagasky Truffles in Apex. The chocolatier offered truffles, chocolatecovered strawberries and other goodies throughout the day and rarely had time to step aside, much less talk about the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going very well today,â&#x20AC;? Vagasky said as he was interrupted by new customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The festival is good exposure for us ... weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a passion for doing this since 1985, and all this time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been blessed.â&#x20AC;? Behind Vagaskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strawberries was a wall of blue ribbons he and his wife

Mebane. Owners Greg and Debbie Argetsinger also couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk much as they were barraged by customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Non stop,â&#x20AC;? Greg said as he chopped up peanut butter fudge for samples. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our sixth festival in the past six months, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re extremely happy with it so far.â&#x20AC;?

Brick Continued from Page 1A

is going to be changing the scene of things. ... I just know that the world changes and you got to change with it.â&#x20AC;? Brickhouse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; imagine a man of that name landing at Sanford Brick â&#x20AC;&#x201D; recounted watching the â&#x20AC;&#x153;beehiveâ&#x20AC;? kilns go down recently. The kilns, rather obviously named for their appearance, were the furnaces workers used to heat mud and clay to make bricks. They are one of many artifacts going under as crews clear the Colon Road property. General Shale, the Tennessee-based company that bought the factory in January 2000, has opted to wipe away the dormant structure, which sat in northern Sanford for more than a half-century. Bob Propes, director of promotions and national accounts for General Shale, said the factory has been vacated for at least two years as the company moved operations to a more efficient structure in Moncure. Clearing the property should take no more than 30 to 45 days, the company says.

It seems this aging edifice is just another victim of the battered economy, according to Propes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the housing market turned down, that combined with a newer automated plant in Moncure, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need it any longer,â&#x20AC;? Propes said. Like Brickhouse said, times change. But at one time, it was a symbol of Sanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle of prosperity, the dream of local man Lewis C. Isenhour, once the owner of Isenhour Brick Company. Brickhouse came to work for Isenhour in 1947, putting his engineering degree to work planning and placing machinery in the then-high tech operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything about it,â&#x20AC;? he admits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I caught on quickly.â&#x20AC;? Isenhourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company, which had changed its name to the Sanford Brick and Tile Company in the mid-1940s, was utilizing what was called a continuous tunnel kiln, the replacement for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;beehive,â&#x20AC;? to make a better product. The company had already outlasted or absorbed several local competitors, once selling 25 million bricks to one buyer in August 1941, Brickhouse

said. At the time, it was the single largest order of bricks in the American South, he said. Brickhouse stayed with the company, which soon came under the authority of Isenhourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Lewis D. Isenhour, until 1988, only leaving for a stint in the 1950s military conflict in Korea. He remembers local football players from what was then called Sanford Central High School clamoring for jobs in the summer months to increase their strength before the season kicked off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You pick up several thousand pounds of bricks a day and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get some muscles,â&#x20AC;? Brickhouse said. He remembers the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brick Cityâ&#x20AC;? branding by economic leaders sometime in the mid-1900s. The name was something of a misnomer, according to Brickhouse. Hundreds of brick manufacturers were already in business in the Connecticut and Hudson river valleys at the time, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neither here nor there,â&#x20AC;? he said. Ask a local and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you most everyone knew somebody who worked in that brick plant. Why? According to Brickhouse, the Isenhours had a

good reputation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People did not mind some of the hard labor that went on,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt they were very decent with the pay scales that they offered people.â&#x20AC;? And it was labor intensive. The process involves heating mud and clay to 1,900 degrees Fahrenheit in kilns to make the slush harden. Most of that will be just memories when crews finish here on Colon Road. After all, General Shale, like most companies with an edge, is looking to the future, not the past. Only an office building will remain here when workers complete their task, Propes said. And Brickhouse isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to shed a tear. Still, he wants locals to remember something about this â&#x20AC;&#x153;down-to-earthâ&#x20AC;? enterprise, one that he points out went into the construction of many of the homes, schools, hospitals, banks and libraries we take for granted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at a brick building of some sort, it represents somebody digging it out of the ground and making it into a usable article,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When done properly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a product that can last a very long time, hundreds of years.â&#x20AC;? Longer even than this factory.

CHATHAM COUNTY

Eight arrested, 31 cited at Shakori fest SILK HOPE (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Chatham County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said today that it made eight drug arrests and cited 31 people on alcohol and drug charges during the Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance last week, near Silk Hope. The event, which featured banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck and bluesman Lightinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wells, was the target of a saturated patrol operation that occurred between April 21 through April 25, both in and around the festival, Chatham Sheriff Richard Webster announced in a press statement this morning. The crackdown led to 102 drug and alco-

hol charges, including 16 felony drug charges and four alcohol-related charges. Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies also seized a little over a pound of marijuana, 50 units of LSD, four grams of crack and illegally-obtained prescription drugs, according to the press statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our experience, the Shakori Hills Festival is a great event that thousands of people come and have a good time. But unfortunately, the festival brings many people who use and deal illegal drugs and that is why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hereâ&#x20AC;?, Webster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the people we encounter with illegal drugs are not from Chatham County.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Raleigh News & Observer

SUNDAY THUMBS THUMBS UP: SMOOTH ON HAWKINS If you commute to downtown Sanford on Hawkins each day, if you live on the busy highway or if you simply like it as your shortcut to U.S. 1, then you’ve by now noticed that it lacks many of the “bumbum-bumbumps” you’ve been accustomed to over the years. Work on Hawkins Avenue over the past month has left a smooth blacktop surface worthy of kings, and it’s made travelling the road a pleasure. And it’s a good thing ...

Hawkins has been the road most often brought up by readers when the subject of poor roads comes up. Maybe this will quiet those critics ... at least until the next freeze.

THUMBS UP: THE GREAT GAME Thumbs up to Lee County and Southern Lee’s athletic departments for making the 10th Annual Priscilla Edwards Scholarship Endowment softball game a big success. The Lee County Yellow Jackets ended up getting the 6-2 victory over county rival Southern Lee on Saturday at Tramway Athletic Park in a game that honored a beloved student-athlete. Edwards was a Lee County

volleyball and softball player, who was killed in a car accident prior to her senior year in 2000. In 2001, the Edwards Scholarship Endowment was established by friends and family. About $600 worth of tickets were sold and over $3,000 was raised for the endowment. The money was received through donations, admission and concessions.

THUMBS UP: POTTERY FEST VISITORS The Sanford Pottery Festival, in its ninth year, always draws a crowd. Good weather this year — unseasonably warm Saturday,

and hot today with just a slight chance of rain — helped the draw, as did the addition of “chocolatiers” to the usual lineup of nearly a hundred potters and other artisans. The festival is a homegrown event, but its success has been buoyed by the high percentage of out-of-market visitors to the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. It would be a success without them, but the fact that so many flock to Lee County year after year is a testament to the drawing power of the event and of our little corner of the world. As the festival continues to evolve and as we all work to make things

We should all dig deep and help Boys & Girls Clubs

RE: VACUUM SALESMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULT

I’m not shocked about this. I have two “NO SOLICITING” signs at my house but those Kirby salespeople just ignore them. They come to the door and tell me I’m going to get some special gift (usually a roll of paper towels) if they get to demonstrate their vacuum cleaner and then get (upset) when I close the door in their face. — BryM

RE: LEE’S ROADS AMONG DEADLIEST IN STATE

Very sad statistics. Lee County as a whole needs more traffic enforcement. The Sheriff’s and Sanford Police departments have traffic teams. That could help greatly. I’m not sure how the state is doing on grants right now, but many departments across the state have had great success using the Highway Safety grants to start traffic teams. I will say it appears to me that since Carter has become Sheriff, the department is a lot more visible and enforce traffic laws more than the previous administration did. — Thinking-Man

COMMENTS

I would hope the fine citizens of Lee County give your opinion of who would best lead the school system all the respect it deserves, by wrapping fish with it! I believe your opinion is most highly thought of by your editorial board, rather than the voters, as you sit and pretend to have the best interest of the school system at heart. Get over yourselves already. — kaiser_soze

better for the home folks, the message to the visitors is simple: keep coming back.

A music legend O ne of the “perks” of being a journalist — yes, despite the low pay, there are fun parts of the job — is getting to interview interesting people. Often, the stories are about “ordinary” people with extraordinary stories. A few times, however, we’re introduced to people who’ve escaped the realm of “ordinary” and have reached “celebrity” status. In my 10 years, I’ve talked to countless politicians who’re nationally known — Tom DeLay, David Vitter, Bobby Jindal are but a few — but they don’t really “count,” because they’re politicans. Yes, I said it. A former sports writer, I’ve also had the thrill of asking my hero growing up, Emmitt Smith, a question in a locker room following a Cowboys game. I’ve interviewed lesser-known pros as well, and I’ve been told by Joe Torre, when he was the Yankees manager, to quit taking pictures in his dugout. This past week, though, I had the pleasure to interview a man who, honestly, I had never heard of the week prior. It’s been three days since, and I still can’t quit talking about it (obviously). And I’m willing to bet that many of you have never heard of Maurice Williams either. Even if I threw out the words, “Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs” or “Maurice Williams and the Gladiolas,” you’re probably still scratching your heads. But if I played you the music, you’d know. It’s times like these I wish newspapers came equipped with music capabilities ... so instead, I’ll describe the scene ... You’ve probably seen the movie “Dirty Dancing” ... You probably remember Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey ... and all the tension that only “forbidden love” can conjure up ... And you definitely remember the music ... Stay! Ahhhhhh, Just. A little bit longer Please, please, please Tell me you’re going to ... Now, your daddy don’t mind And your mommy don’t mind If we have another dance, together, Just one more One more time (falsetto) Oh, won’t you stayyyy! Just a little bit longer!

You get the idea. It’s a classic, written by Williams in 1960 about his girlfriend at the time whom he couldn’t stand being away from. And if that doesn’t ring a bell, Williams also wrote “Little Darlin,” which goes ... Oh little darlin oh-a-where-a are-a you? My love-a ... I was wrong-a To-oo try ... to love-a two! Ahoop ahoop ahoop ahoop

OK, so I’m getting carried away. And you’re probably still not impressed. But Williams penned these two hits ... “Stay” being the shortest No. 1 single in music history at just a little

Billy Liggett Sanford Herald Editor Contact Billy Liggett by e-mail at bliggett@sanfordherald.com more than a minute and 30 seconds; and “Little Darlin,” which was made even more famous by the 60s group The Diamonds, has been covered by the likes of Elvis Presley, the Monkees, Frankie Valli, the Four Seasons and countless others. Google the songs. YouTube them. You’ll recognize them from commercials and movies. Nearly 50 years later, they’re still being used, and the man who created the music is still very much alive and well (and performing). So why did I interview him? Williams will be the guest of honor at Thursday’s Small Business Banquet at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center, where he’ll receive the Lifetime Achievement Award, which was given to Carolina legends Richard Petty and Charlie Daniels over the past two years. Williams may not have the marquee name the other two have, but he’s very much a music legend, and those aren’t words I like to just toss out there on a whim. The Herald will have Williams’ story in Tuesday’s edition, barring breaking news that would push it to Wednesday, and in the story, you’ll hear from a man not only humbled by the accolades he still receives, but a man truly grateful to his fans. A native of South Carolina who currently lives in Charlotte, Williams, now in his 70s, still performs, and while he’s not scheduled to perform Thursday, he hinted to me that he wouldn’t mind doing so if it were set up for him. I have no power there, mind you, but I’m tossing it out there. The audio version of my interview will be online the day the story appears, and we’ll play it on the radio show I host with Jonathan Owens and Gordon Anderson Wednesday at 8 a.m. on WDCC 90.5 FM (shameless plug, I know). I’m not the only convert. Owens has since bought a few Zodiac songs online and added them to his mp3 player, and my 7-month-old daughter loves “Stay” when it comes up on our iPod (my wife bought the “Dirty Dancing” soundtrack years ago). I rank Williams up there with Emmitt and the others when it comes to “cool interviews” in my lifetime. It was a thrill, and I hope my enthusiasm for it comes out in this week’s story.

To the Editor: After reading about the financial woes of the Boys & Girls Clubs and the City Council’s reluctance to help, I’ve been pondering what my response should be. While I feel that the Temple Theatre drama should not be resurrected, I can’t help but wonder, isn’t the Temple Theatre a non-profit organization? And if so, is the Council really wanting to say that they support the arts ahead of the well-being of our children? It appears that the Temple must be doing better financially these days, and for that I am truly glad. I would hope that the City Council could see a way to help out the Boys & Girls Clubs at least on a limited basis. But even more, I’d like to see the citizens of Lee County get behind them. Perhaps individuals could sponsor a student for a month, a semester, or even a year. A year’s sponsorship for after-school care is only $32. That’s less than a tank of gas for most economical cars. Would volunteers be helpful with the day-to-day operation? Is there a need for financial counseling? Are there services that the Boys & Girls Clubs currently pays for that someone in the community would be willing to donate or offer at a reduced cost? If you aren’t part of the solution, you are part of the problem. MARY BRIDGES Sanford

Questions unanswered by Lee County’s Board of Commissioners To the Editor: I read with great interest this week’s general editorial in The Herald — an account of the “discussions” held by the county commissioners subsequent to the end of the public hearing. If this editorial is factual, I have the following comments for the board: ❏ If you will recall (as contained in my address to you), I had asked many questions both to you and the Board of Education relative to the initial funding, an accounting of the previous funds for maintenance efforts, the costs of financing, etc., and had received either no answers from you or only vague answers from the BOE. ❏ If you will also recall, after Mr. John Crumpton explained the funding costs and sources, I raised my hand and stated I have questions. I was promptly told by Chairman Richard Hayes that I would have my chance later. Due to the five-minute to three-minute reduction imposed by Chairman Hayes, I had no time to ask questions; but only present my prepared statements. My two (2) questions were going to be: What happens if the Lottery Funds are not received from the State? What happens if the Federal promised dollars are not received? I don’t feel so “picked on” any more for not receiving answers to my other numerous questions from you on various subjects, since some of you have now demonstrated that you won’t even answer each others’ questions.

Senator Meek?

Abortion’s route to rare

f you’d told me a year ago that Democrats would find themselves within striking distance of picking up a Senate seat in Florida, running an African-American congressman no one outside his district had ever heard of, I’d probably have asked you what you were smoking. But that was before Florida’s still-popular Republican governor effectively got booted out of his own party in a conservative takeover that could end with Republicans grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. My conservative friends have spent much of the past year dumping on poor Gov. Charlie Crist, the once-unbeatable future senator, and heaping praise and attention on his fiery conservative opponent, former state House Speaker Marco Rubio. Rubio has been the darling of conservative chatterers and tea party activists everywhere, amassing a commanding lead over the more moderately conservative Crist. Thursday’s decision by the governor to ditch the party label and run as an independent is probably his only shot of making it to the general election and, ultimately, to the Senate. But it is hardly a sure thing. With only 22 percent of its electorate not registered as either Democrat or Republican, and with Democrats substantially outnumbering Republicans, Crist’s move makes Democratic candidate Kendrick Meek’s job a whole lot easier than Rubio’s. It takes 33 percent of the electorate — plus one vote — to win a three-way election. Meek needs the Democratic base. That’s all he needs. In what should be a Republican-leaning year, he doesn’t need a single Republican or independent vote. That’s a much easier task for a Democrat this year than winning 50 percent plus one. As for Rubio, he has to walk a pretty tricky line. There just aren’t enough tea partiers in the state for him to win from the hard right. If he sticks with the fiery rhetoric that gave him the lead in the Republican primary, he risks pushing everyone to the left of him into Crist’s column. If he tones it down, he loses his base and his credibility. Watching Rubio wiggle around on the immigration issue is a case in point. Arizona’s passage of its controversial (and almost certainly unconstitutional) state law making it a crime to be an illegal immigrant and authorizing police to detain individuals for that reason alone (even if they have committed no other crime) is splitting the Republican Party pretty much in half. Popular former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has come out and criticized the law, which tells you something about how at least one smart politician from that state sees it. As for Rubio, he’s dancing right now — not exactly saying he’s for it, not exactly saying he’s against it and, most strikingly for a guy who claims to be against big government, calling on the federal government to do more. His statement this week reads like classic waffle politics: “States certainly have the right to enact policies to protect their citizens, but Arizona’s policy shows the difficulty and limitations of states trying to act piecemeal to solve what is a serious federal problem. From what I have read in news reports, I do have concerns about this legislation.” So much for federalism. Your only source is news reports? How about reading the law itself? Are you for it or against it? Do you think it’s constitutional or not? Rubio’s most ardent supporters have opinions on those issues. Many of the swing voters who decide elections also have opinions, and they aren’t necessarily the same ones. Giving people three candidates to choose from means they don’t have to compromise. Rubio’s path to Washington got a lot more complicated this week, and Meek’s got a lot more straightforward. As for Crist, he’s taking his best shot. If ever there were a year to belong to no party, this might be it.

Salt tyrants H

ere’s how my June 14, 2006 column started: “Down through the years, I’ve attempted to warn my fellow Americans about the tyrannical precedent and template for further tyranny set by anti-tobacco zealots. ... In the early stages of the anti-tobacco campaign, there were calls for “reasonable” measures such as non-smoking sections on airplanes and health warnings on cigarette packs. In the 1970s, no one would have ever believed such measures would have evolved into today’s level of attack on smokers, which includes confiscatory cigarette taxes and bans on outdoor smoking. The door was opened, and the zealots took over.” What the anti-tobacco zealots established is that government had the right to forcibly control our lives if it was done in the name of protecting our health. In the Foundation for Economic Education’s Freeman publication, I wrote a column titled “Nazi Tactics” (January 2003): “These people who want to control our lives are almost finished with smokers; but never in history has a tyrant arisen one day and decided to tyrannize no more. The nation’s tyrants have now turned their attention to the vilification of fast food chains such as McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken, charging them with having created an addiction to fatty foods. ... In their campaign against fast food chains, restaurants and soda and candy manufacturers the nation’s food Nazis always refer to the anti-tobacco campaign as the model for their agenda.” America’s tyrants have now turned their attention to salt, as reported in the Washington Post’s article “FDA plans to limit amount of salt allowed in processed foods for health reasons” (April 19, 2010). Why do food processors put a certain quantity of salt in their products? The answer is the people who buy their product like it and they earn profits by pleasing customers. The FDA has taken the position that what the American buying public wants is irrelevant. They know what’s best and if you disagree, they will fine, jail or put you out of business. Tyranny knows no bounds. Let’s say that the FDA orders Stouffer’s to no lon-

Suppose Stouffer’s customers, assuming they continue buying the product, add more salt — what will the FDA do? The answer is easy. They will copy the successful anti-tobacco zealot template. They might start out with warning labels on salt. Congress will levy confiscatory taxes on salt. Maybe lawsuits will be brought against salt companies. State and local agencies might deny child adoption rights to couples found using too much salt. Before a couple can adopt a baby, they would have to take a blood test to determine their dietary habits. Teachers might ask schoolchildren to report their parents for adding salt to their meals. You might say, “Williams, they’d never go that far in the name of health.” In 1960, you might have said the same thing about tobacco zealots but yet they’ve done the same and more. The late H.L. Mencken’s description of health care professionals in his day is just as appropriate for many of today’s: “A certain section of medical opinion, in late years, has succumbed to the messianic delusion. Its spokesmen are not content to deal with the patients who come to them for advice; they conceive it to be their duty to force their advice upon everyone, including especially those who don’t want it. That duty is purely imaginary. It is born of vanity, not of public spirit. The impulse behind it is not altruism, but a mere yearning to run things.” Thomas Jefferson put it simpler in his Notes on Religion in 1776, “Laws provide against injury from others, but not from ourselves.”

hen Bill Clinton said in 1992 that he wanted to make abortion safe, legal and rare, many Americans applauded. Even if one dismisses this as rhetoric, it is a sentiment shared by the large middle and provides nearly everyone a thread of hope. But how does one get to “rare” in a sexualized world where choice is a sacrament? The only plausible answer is through education, but of what should that education consist? Most everybody over the age of 10 knows how to apply a condom these days. And moral education — the kind that might suggest remorse over the ending of a life — is frowned upon. My own view, both pro-life and prochoice, has been that abortion truthfully presented would eliminate itself, or vastly reduce its numbers. Once a pregnancy is viewed as a human life in formation, rather than a “blob of cells,” it is less easy to terminate the contents of one’s vessel. An unwanted pregnancy isn’t any less inconvenient, but humanizing a fetus confounds the simplicity of choice. Alternatively, dehumanizing as a means of justifying an action from which we prefer to avert our eyes is a well-traveled road that history does not view charitably. Such considerations recently have taken the form of legislation in several states where lawmakers want women considering an abortion first to view an ultrasound. Oklahoma passed a law a few days ago that would require women to have an ultrasound, though, contrary to early reports, she is not required to view the images. ... Reaction to the Oklahoma law has been predictable. Pro-lifers think it’s too weak; pro-choicers think it’s untenably intrusive. Were women required to view the image of their fetus, I would have to side with the pro-choicers on this point. It is still vexing that a woman must deliberately look away from the image, which adds some heft to the intrusive argument and could be viewed as intimidation. That said, I can’t muster outrage over what can be viewed as both medically pragmatic and morally defensible. A well-informed patient should always be our route to safe and legal. Is it unacceptable that a life-preserving decision might result from greater knowledge? Anyone considering, say, gall bladder removal will be told each and every detail of what will happen, what is likely to be the result, what consequences might be expected, and so on. Doesn’t it make as much sense to provide women with a view of what’s going on inside their bodies before they take the leap that can’t be undone? Obviously, pro-lifers are trying to curb abortions through this legislation. The pro-life Bioethics Defense Fund drafted Louisiana’s S.B. 528 at the request of its sponsor, state Sen. Sharon Broome, and the Louisiana Right to Life Federation. Call it a tactic, if you will. But is a woman’s changed heart such a terrible result? ... In testimony before the Louisiana Senate Health and Welfare Committee, post-abortive women recounted being told they were ridding themselves of “tissue,” only to learn later, often during an ultrasound with a subsequent pregnancy, that they had destroyed a fully formed fetus. Based on my own conversations with post-abortive women, this is a common event and is often the point at which formerly pro-choice women switch sides. ... ... We all know what abortion is and, thanks to some of the sign-toting anti-abortion protesters — who do their cause no good — we know what abortion looks like. Shouldn’t pregnant women also know what their healthy fetus looks like before they hit delete? This is a question lacking in sinister intent. What is sinister is the proposition that ignorance is better — and the implied hope that women won’t choose to reconsider. I can’t speak to the efficacy of these bills. Let the doctors and lawyers hash that out. But as an advocate for informed choice, I can’t rationalize ignorance or denial as preferable options for women in need of sound counseling. Or for a nation that wants to make abortion rare.

Primaries buck candidate trends

RALEIGH (AP) — Disenchanted Republicans and bickering Democrats are contributing to a soaring number of primary races for North Carolina’s General Assembly, putting a dozen or so incumbents on edge and bucking the state’s normal trend of uncontested campaigns. There are 81 contested House and Senate primaries Tuesday, a nearly 60 percent jump compared to the 51 recorded in both 2006 and 2008. The GOP has contributed the most to the increase with 27 contested House races and 20 in the Senate. Two years ago, there were only 22 contested Republican primaries. “I think I’ve got just a good a chance as any,” said first-time candidate Lauren Raper of Spencer, a 27-year-old high school teacher competing with Harry Warren in a Republican primary for the right to challenge Democratic Rep. Lorene Coates in November. “Sometimes you need to stretch your

neck and get out of your comfort zone.” The increase in contested GOP candidates appears to be an outgrowth in voter unhappiness about Washington that has brought a record number of primary candidates to congressional races this year and forged the tea party movement. What’s even more striking, longtime state political researcher John Davis said, is that historically the number of contested races often decline at the close of each 10-year cycle before the next round of redistricting as voting habits become more predictable. The next redistricting begins in 2011. “You’re seeing candidates that were not recruited by anybody. They’re part of this parade of angry voters that don’t like what they see,” Davis said. “For the number of challengers to be up, that is a sign of the times.” The number of contested Democratic legislative primaries rose slight-

ly, to 34 from 29 in 2008. The increase is the likely result of eight Democratic senators either deciding not to run for re-election or resigning late last year. For example, five Democrats are seeking the seat held by Sen. Larry Shaw, D-Cumberland, who isn’t running. House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said the May 4 election doesn’t seem all that different from previous years when it comes to issues (mostly local) and the number of competitive races (a dozen or so). History shows one or two challengers defeat incumbents. “There’s no pattern there, I’d say,” said Hackney, who made no predictions on who could lose. Some Democratic primaries appear to be caused by party infighting. In Mecklenburg County, Reps. Beverly Earle and Becky Carney and Sen. Malcolm Graham have challengers who have personal or professional connections to fellow

Democratic Rep. Nick Mackey. Mackey, who has his own primary opponent, has said he didn’t urge anyone to run. House Majority Whip Bruce Goforth, D-Buncombe, is facing a tough challenge from Patsy Keever, the Democrats’ congressional candidate in the 11th District in 2004. The race’s key issue has been how to regulate development on steep mountain slopes. Third-term Rep. Winkie Wilkins, D-Person, faces two Durham County challengers, including retired DMV employee Fred Foster Jr. Rep. Rosa Gill, D-Wake, appointed last year to fill the seat of former House Speaker Dan Blue, also has two challengers and first-term Rep. Darren Jackson, D-Wake, has gotten a tough fight from former Knightdale Mayor Jeanne Bonds. Former Rep. Mary McAllister is trying to get back in the chamber by challenging Rep. Elmer Floyd, D-Cumberland, who beat McAllister two years ago. Rep. Edith Warren, D-Pitt, is being challenged by former Greenville city council member Mildred Council and Rep. Earl Jones, DGuilford, is competing against political consultant Marcus Brandon.

STATE BRIEFS Activist sues animal shelter, alleging abuse LUMBERTON (AP) — An animal welfare advocate is accusing the Robeson County animal shelter of euthanizing dogs even after people express interest in adopting them. Multiple media outlets reported Saturday that advocate Susan Barrett won a temporary restraining order that prevents the shelter from killing animals after steps toward an adoption start. Barrett told The Fayetteville Observer that dogs have been put down after groups told the shelter they were interested in adoption. Health Director Bill Smith tells The Robesonian of Lumberton he worries rescue groups will call and ask for adoptions to begin on all dogs, even if they won’t follow through. The shelter has been criticized for its euthanasia policies. A court hearing is scheduled for Friday.

Testimony ends in tax case against Charlotte pastor CHARLOTTE (AP) — A North Carolina pastor says mistakes made on his tax returns were not intended to wrongly bilk the government out of money. But federal prosecutors say Anthony Jinwright did not make honest mistakes. Both sides are expected to sum up their arguments Monday in the tax evasion case against Jinwright. The Charlotte Observer reports Jinwright has denied tax evasion allegations but acknowledged taking “too much” compensation from his Charlotte congregation. Prosecutors accuse him

Voters choosing in two state Court of Appeals primaries RALEIGH (AP) — Seven candidates for two North Carolina Court of Appeals seats will be whittled to four after Tuesday’s primary elections that feature two incumbents seeking additional terms. In one race for the state’s second-highest court, incumbent Judge Rick Elmore is competing with attorneys Al Bain, Leto Copeley and state Supreme Court law clerk Steven Walker, while the other has Court of Appeals Judge Ann Marie Calabria facing two challengers: Wake District Court Judge Jane Gray and Superior Judge Mark Klass for Davidson and Davie counties. The top two vote-getters in each nonpartisan race will advance to face each other in the November general election. All the candidates agreed to voluntary fundraising limits to attempt to qualify for public funds if they survive the primary. Elmore and Calabria each won eight-year terms in 2002 to the court, which is comprised of 15 judges. The court meets in three-judge panels and hears appeals of lower court cases, except for death penalty cases. Their rulings may be appealed to the Supreme Court. Elmore, of Greensboro, was a local lawyer for 20 years before joining the court.

STATE BRIEFS Marchers protest Durham district’s school budget

Wake school board condemned in rally against racism

DURHAM (MCT) — Alex Christman was doing it for the young teachers. Beth Bruch did it because she cares. Tevin Armstrong marched for those like him. Those three, and at least 200 others, marched from Hillside High School to the county administration building Friday to protest the proposed 2010-11 Durham Public Schools budget. Organized by the Durham Umbrella Coalition, the march is part of a continuing effort by the group -- students, teachers and community members -- to get more dollars into the schools budget. The $383.4 million budget reflects $20 million of reductions in county and state support, which means that 323 employees, including 263 teachers, are slated to lose their jobs. Those layoffs will mean that class sizes at every grade level will increase by almost four students and that resources will be cut across the district. Young teachers are concerned that they’ll be the first to go, said Alex Christman, a social studies teacher at Hillside. Bigger classes, along with limited supplies, will only make things worse for the teachers who are left. “It doesn’t seem like much to raise class sizes to 30, 35,” he said. “You have to sit in these classes. On a fourth period in the spring, when you’re trying to keep 35 minds on what you’re doing and have them understand what you’re doing, that can be difficult.”

RALEIGH (MCT) — An antiracism rally in downtown’s Moore Square on Friday brought out hundreds of students, veteran activists and others who heard ringing endorsements of civil rights and a stinging condemnation of the Wake County school board. Organized by the YWCA of the Greater Triangle, the rally featured songs, skits and slogans from about 170 students who came from nearby Moore Square Middle School, where they have been involved in a study project on the subject for weeks. A featured speaker, the Rev. David Forbes, talked about his childhood in segregated Raleigh, where everything from water fountains to libraries was divided by race. Forbes criticized the current school board for its efforts to end Wake County’s diversity-based school assignment policy. “Shame on the board of education of Wake County,” said Forbes, 69, a civil rights veteran who helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in Raleigh half a century ago, to loud applause. “How dare they try, through chicanery and fancy wording, to reverse what made Wake County the leading school system in the United States -- diversity?” Board member Chris Malone, a member of the majority, said later Friday that attempts to defend the county’s previous approach to diversity don’t take into account the achievement gap between low-income, minority students and more affluent, white students.

Fixing soil first pays off Couple’s patience leads to beautiful garden landscape WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — The best gardeners understand time. They know that they must work hard and expect the reward to be painfully slow in arriving. Bill and Sherry Beasley understand the slow processes that change clay to soil. The first lesson came when Bill Beasley took a tiller to the front bed of the house. “The rototiller bounced across the soil. What I thought would take a few hours took four days,” he said. But it is months and years — not hours and days — that define garden time, a slow and gradual change that patience and persistence work on the landscape. The Beasleys were wise enough to recognize this, and spent an entire year working on the soil before they planted anything. They added WinstonSalem’s city leaf compost and turned in thick layers of straw with the rototiller. They also grew buckwheat as a green manure crop. Buckwheat was seeded into the bed and turned into the soil with the rototiller. “We turned it when it began to flower, but before it went to seed,” Sherry Beasley said. “We were able to get about four crops in per year.” The Beasleys live in Ardmore on a curving, picturesque little street with many gardens and rolling hills. The buckwheatfertility program at-

tracted the curiosity of the neighbors. It was a brave step for the suburbs, where front-yard projects are typically planted, mulched and completed in one weekend. The buckwheat days are now behind them. The Beasley’s little cottage garden is overflowing with flowering perennials. Columbines and wallflowers wave above mats of creeping moss phlox and golden creeping jenny. The flowers of coneflowers, iris and globe thistle are still to come. New shoots of clematis ensnare the low fence that Bill built to surround the front yard. A wandering drift of Sheffield Pink chrysanthemum lines one sidewalk while ajuga and lambs ears complete the pattern on the opposite side. “We’ve been working on a cottage garden here, but we have to be careful of the roots,” Sherry said, referring to the cherry tree planted in the center of the bed. The couple decided they needed the tree to block the sun that blazes into the front porch in the summer. The sunny front does not prepare you for the subtleties of the back yard. After one enters through a vine-covered arbor, the garden opens on a stone-and-pebble patio that has an intimate seating area. Kwanzan cherry trees in full bloom line the tall, enclosing fence. The branches billow with powder-puff, baby-pink flowers. Off to one corner a fountain trills from a cobalt urn. Dry-stacked stone

lines beds of hostas, wild ginger, solomon’s seal and Japanese-painted ferns. Everywhere little details await discovery, a whimsical insect sculpture here, a wall hanging there, little pots spilling over with flowers and birdhouses of all shapes and sizes, many of which are already occupied. An imposing Chinese Warrior sculpture stands cross armed at the entrance to the greater garden, sword dangling by his side. The Beasleys call him Gus. Beyond, the garden widens into an oval surrounding a large bed that Bill said is in transition. “It used to be a sun bed, but as we get older we are going more toward shade gardening and cutting down a little on the maintenance with ground covers.” Bill, 62, is a letter carrier with the postal service. He has worked there for 32 years. Sherry, 56, recently retired as postmaster in Walnut Cove. The two have crafted a partnership in the garden that seems to work perfectly. “I’ve gardened most of my life,” Sherry said. “I followed my grandmother around the garden when I was little. I’m the dig-ahole-and-plant-it person and he’s the figure-outhow-it-will-look-and-design-it person.” Beyond, the trail leads through an akebia-covered arbor, giving the impression that the garden continues. “This is one of our favorite parts of the garden,” Bill said. “We call it our path to nowhere.” Moss-lined stone

defines the center of the garden. Everything done in the garden was done by hand, from sculpting the beds out of the sloping hillsides, to laying drainage and carrying in massive stones to build paths and patios. The soil from the dirt basement was dug out and also contributed to the flower beds. The Beasleys also built the screened-in porch that overlooks it all. Beneath the porch’s canopy a system of eight connected rain barrels funnel water from the roof to be used in the garden. The rain barrel drums are recycled pharmaceutical containers. Both Beasleys are advocates of taking the time to build good soil. They maintain several compost drums, a worm bin and a system known as bokashi. It involves wheat bran, molasses and microbes in a fast-acting, kitchen scrap composting scheme. “The soil was completely dead when we started here,” Bill said. “Now every shovel has an earthworm in it.” Sherry said she counts spending time with a group of gardening friends — who regularly get together to enjoy each other’s gardens, learn from each other’s trials and trade plants — as among her favorite times in the garden. Bill said he enjoys relaxing with a glass of wine and surveying all that the garden has become. Like that wine, gardens get better over time.

Expert: Surface area of spill has tripled

VENICE, La. (AP) — The surface area of a catastrophic Gulf of Mexico oil spill quickly tripled in size amid growing fears among experts that the slick could become vastly more devastating than it seemed just two days ago. The newly named federal point man for the oil spill said it was impossible to pinpoint how much oil is leaking from a ruptured underwater well. Commandant Adm. Thad Allen, head of the U.S. Coast Guard, told a conference call Saturday that “any exact estimation of what’s flowing out of those pipes down there is impossible” because the site is about a mile underwater. Frustrated fishermen eager to help contain the spill had to keep their boats idle as another day of rough seas kept crews away from the slick, and President Barack Obama planned a Sunday trip to the Gulf Coast. Documents also emerged showing BP PLC downplayed the possibility of a catastrophic accident at the offshore rig that exploded. BP operated the rig, which was owned by Transocean Ltd. How far the spill will reach is unknown, but the sheen already has reached into precious shoreline habitat and remains unstopped, raising fears that the ruptured well could be pouring more oil into the gulf than estimated. The Coast Guard has estimated that about 200,000 gallons of oil are spewing out each day — which would mean 1.6 million gallons of oil have

The environmental mess could eclipse the Exxon Valdez disaster, when an oil tanker spilled 11 million gallons off Alaska’s shores in 1989. The slick nearly tripled in just a day or so, growing from a spill the size of Rhode Island to something closer to the size of Puerto Rico, according to images collected from mostly European satellites and analyzed by the University of Miami. On Thursday, the size of the slick was about 1,150 square miles, but by Friday’s end it was in the range of 3,850 square miles, said Hans Graber, executive director of the university’s Center for Southeastern Tropical Advanced Remote Sensing. That suggests the oil has started spilling from the

well more quickly, Graber said. “The spill and the spreading is getting so much faster and expanding much quicker than they estimated,” Graber told The Associated Press on Saturday. Louisiana State University professor Ed Overton, who heads a federal chemical hazard assessment team for oil spills, cautioned that the satellite imagery could be deceiving. He said satellites can’t measure the thickness of the sheen and makes it difficult to judge how much oil is on the water. Another issue is that the oil slicks are not one giant uniform spill the size of an island. Instead, they are “little globs of oil in an area of big water,” Overton said. Experts also cautioned

that if the spill continues growing unchecked, sea currents could suck the sheen down past the Florida Keys and then up the Eastern Seaboard. The Florida Keys are home to the only living coral barrier reef in North America, and the third largest coral barrier reef in the world. About 84 percent of the nation’s coral reefs are located in Florida, where hundreds of marine species live, breed and spawn. “If it gets into the Keys, that would be devastating,” said Duke University biologist Larry Crowder. Ian R. MacDonald, an oceanography professor at Florida State University, said his examination of Coast Guard charts and satellite images indicated that 8 million to 9 million gallons had already spilled by April 28.

Alabama’s governor said his state was preparing for a worst-case scenario of 150,000 barrels, or more than 6 million gallons per day. At that rate the spill would amount to a Valdez-sized spill every two days, and the situation could last for months. “I hope they can cap this and we talk about ’remember back when,”’ Gov. Bob Riley said late Friday, “but we are taking that worst-case and building barriers against it.” However, officials with the Coast Guard brushed off such fears and said the estimates were imprecise. BP suggested in a 2009 exploration plan and environmental impact analysis for the well that an accident leading to a giant crude oil spill — and serious damage to beaches, fish and mammals — was unlikely, or virtually impossible. The plan for the Deepwater Horizon well, filed with the federal Minerals Management Service, said repeatedly that it was “unlikely that an accidental surface or subsurface oil spill would occur from the proposed activities.”

The company conceded a spill would impact beaches, wildlife refuges and wilderness areas, but argued that “due to the distance to shore (48 miles) and the response capabilities that would be implemented, no significant adverse impacts are expected.” The spill — a slick more than 130 miles long and 70 miles wide — threatens hundreds of species of wildlife, including birds, dolphins, and the fish, shrimp, oysters and crabs that make the Gulf Coast one of the nation’s most abundant sources of seafood. Although the cause of the explosion was under investigation, many of the more than two dozen lawsuits filed in the wake of the explosion claim it was caused when workers for oil services contractor Halliburton Inc. improperly capped the well — a process known as cementing. Halliburton denied it. The Coast Guard said Saturday it had shut down two offshore platforms and evacuated one of them near the spill as a safety precaution.

tude of the spill became clear late Wednesday. Aides report he’s been getting regular updates. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano scheduled appearances on four Sunday morning talk shows

to detail the administration’s efforts in dealing with the environmental disaster. Deputy press secretary Bill Burton said Obama got another update early Saturday before flying to Ann Arbor. On Friday, Obama ordered Salazar

to conduct an immediate review of rig safety in the Gulf and report back within 30 days if any new technologies are needed. He promised that no new offshore oil drilling leases will be issued unless rigs have new safeguards to prevent a repeat of the explosion that unleashed the massive spill. “We are going to make sure that any leases going forward have those safeguards,” Obama said. The step, however, was largely symbolic. No such leases are likely to come up for approval for several months, and the review was not expected to interrupt current drilling operations. The spill came just weeks after Obama announced plans to open up large areas of the Eastern Seaboard and a part of the Gulf for possible future oil drilling. And it’s led to increasing calls to reconsider that initiative by environmentalists and coastal state lawmakers.

MOTIVATION FOR RUNNING

FIVE MOST CRITICAL ISSUES FACING DISTRICT

Education: Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree in divinity and counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological seminary, Wake Forest. Occupation: Pastor of Truebread Fellowship Church (13 years); owner/operator of M&C Cleaners and Laundromat Family: Wife Caroline, medical lab scientist; children (oldest to youngest): Matthew, financial advisor; Mark Jr., project engineer; Kitan (daughter), student at Princeton University; Joseph (son), Lee County High School

When my kids were coming up through the Lee County Schools System, we were always very involved with their education. Some of their teachers would say to us, sort of jokingly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish you could take some of these other kids home and help them too.â&#x20AC;? I am just a parent who believes all kids, when given the right environment, can learn, and my kids are examples of this. I am seeking this office because I want to give back to the community that has supported my family and me in our successes. The BOE is a place where I could have an impact based on my educational background and my life experiences. I have a strong commitment to the education of our young people. President John F. Kennedy once said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A child miseducated is a child lost.â&#x20AC;? I felt that in order for our students to be competitive, we must change our educational philosophy.

â?? Growth: Peter F. Drucker said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.â&#x20AC;? The BOE needs to devise a solid short term and long term plan to address the issue of growth. That will include year-round schools ... and find a way to maximize the use of our present facilities without going into too much debt. â?? Funding: Funds will be an issue this time for the board because of the current economic state. The board will need to tighten its belt and enforce fiscal responsibility and transparency in its operation. â?? Retention of Staff: The board will need to encourage an incentive pay for performance plan in order to recognize continuous excellence in the classroom for teachers. â?? Drop-out rate reduction: As a board member, I will encourage a system to identify at risk-students, who are likely to drop-out of school. I will encourage the board to give the administrators the necessary tools to tackle this ugly trend that is affecting our community adversely. â?? Test score Improvement: Board members need to ask the right questions in order for our students to be competitive. The Board cannot be satisfied with mediocre performance at any level, if elected I will work hard for our students, voters and all tax-payers.

I feel that morale amongst our teachers and parents is at an all-time low. We currently have a board that is not very accessible to the public or the teachers. Teachers feel that they may lose their jobs if they confront the board with policy changes that they disagree with. Our Board of Education needs to figure out how to better support our teachers and therefore serve our students. The Board of Education should listen to our teachers, parents and students and set forth policies that benefit our children first and our educators a very close second.

Manager, Estimator/ Project Manager 14 years Family: Susan Truelove Bonardi age 45, (son) Joshua Bonardi age 20, (son) Caleb Bonardi age 17

As a parent of a Lee County school student, I want the best possible education for my son as well as all the students in Lee County. Secondly, I graduated from Lee County High School. I married my high school sweetheart. We have raised our family here in Lee County. This is my home. I want to see Lee County be the kind of community that people want to live in. Having a school system that provides a learning experience that is rigorous, relevant and safe is vital to the success of our children and Lee County as a whole.

I decided to run after a one-on-one phone conversation with a member of our school administration. During the course of the conversation, I expressed concern over our countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismal graduation rate of roughly 70 percent (a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dâ&#x20AC;? based upon our systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grading scale), and the fact that about 30 percent of our students are not graduating. He replied that we are on par with the rest of the state and that he believes we are doing a fine job. I disagree. My response was that we should be striving every day to set the standard for education in this state and that we should NEVER settle for mediocrity in Lee County education.

My motivation for seeking this office is to continue to develop a quality educational system for our countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children. During their time in the Lee County School system I would hope that our children would become prepared to be a contributing member of our society. My promise is that I will study the issues and make decisions that will positively affect our countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children.

My No. 1 priority for seeking re-election to the Lee County School Board remains the same as presented in 2006 when I ran for this office.

My motivation in seeking a second term is to continue to be fully immersed in future improvements in the system, i.e., improved facilities, new curriculum initiatives, additional innovative programs, new teaching/learning tools, improved test scores, lowering the dropout rate and continuing the hiring of highly qualified personnel.

I promise to not accept the status quo as the standard for Lee County Schools but make a difference in the lives of our students, teachers and parents. I promise to be fiscally responsible with taxpayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dollars. I promise to listen to information provided by teachers, parents and students.

â?? The current â&#x20AC;&#x153;closed-doorâ&#x20AC;? policy of the current Board of Education must be changed. I look at our school system the same way that I do any business. The children, parents and educators serve as our stockholders. As such, the performance of the company, or our school system, is a reflection on the job that our board and Superintendent perform. If a policy is to be changed or introduced, the community should be made aware and allowed a chance to vote. â?? Classrooms currently have limited support options. Certain classrooms have assistants, volunteers, and/or tutors, while others rely on one lead teacher to perform all of the duties that would be spread amongst a larger number or teaching staff. â?? The removal of enrichment entirely in K-3 and the reduction of the program in our 4-5 grade classrooms is appalling. In our State Board of Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines on enrichment programs, it states that without enrichment, gifted children show reduced performance and sometimes become disruptive to the classrooms due to boredom from the lack of a challenging environment. We may lose children who may have presented as gifted in the K-3 yearst. â?? Lee County Senior High School. â?? We currently allow our high school students the option of not taking exams if their GPA is at a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? or greater. I find this troubling. We are not preparing our children for university if they enroll in college having taken less than a handful of exams. â?? The current economic condition and the impact it has on the operating budget and capital outlay: The Board must prioritize the use of available funds. This takes planning and maintaining a good working relationship with the Board of Commissioners. â?? Training current teachers and recruiting new teachers that are trained in using technology as teaching tools: The Board needs to have policies in place to provide training in utilizing technology as a teaching tool and should hold the superintendent accountable for making sure these tools are being used. Some examples of using technology are smart boards, one-to-one laptop, and the E-Lee Academy. â?? To make learning relevant and challenge students to understand the impact that their education will have on their lives: The Board must continue to support initiatives like the S.T.E.M. program which emphasizes science, technology, engineering, and math with a hands on approach, the AVID program which helps prepare students for college eligibility by teaching study and organizational skills and Lee Early College. â?? Uncertain growth potential with regards to BRAC: The Board must stay informed from area leaders on the potential population growth as a result of the base realignment at Fort Bragg. The board must plan for future needs that could arise. Also, the Board should direct the superintendent to investigate the availability of federal funding associated with BRAC. â?? Academically, I believe that it is critical that we begin to more aggressively address the problems of low academic achievement, low graduation rate and drop-out rate. To treat any problem, it is important to identify the specific causes of that problem. â?? We need to ensure that our teachers have adequate support in the classroom and that they are not being overburdened with additional responsibilities that infringe on instructional time. The BOE should maintain regular communication with teachers and should regularly seek feedback from teachers so as to always understand the impact that BOE polices have on teachers in the classroom. â?? Our leadership needs to develop a relationship with parents, students, and teachers, whereby the concerns and desires of those three groups are given much greater consideration. Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational leadership must develop more effective means to communicate with and solicit input from students, parents and teachers. â?? We must provide transparency for fiscal and academic affairs. I believe that the present method of making decisions by committee with â&#x20AC;&#x153;the board collectively [supporting] the committee,â&#x20AC;? does not provide for transparency in all fiscal and academic affairs. â?? We must protect taxpayer investments in educational facilities. The recent debate over the funding the reconstruction and repair of LCHS served to highlight the need for the creation of a preventative maintenance program that will allow for the identification of problems with LCS facilities before those problems become costly expenditures that place an additional tax burden on the people.

â?? Fiscal responsibility: We need to provide fiscal responsibility and transparency for taxpayers dollars. Constraints should be in place to ensure every dollar spent in the classroom is tied to a specific goal or objective set by the BOE. Line item budgets should be made available to eliminate any question from the public eye (excluding personnel). â?? Improve student achievement and graduation rate: The board should identify problem areas and establish strategies to eliminate problem areas; allow teacher flexibility in curriculum instruction instead of teaching to pass the EOG; and engage business owners to volunteer in their respective subject matter expertise. â?? Ensure teachers have adequate support in the classroom: Teachers assistants need to be reinstated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; budget money needs to be reallocated â?? Preventative maintenance for buildings: A preventative maintenance schedule needs to be established to ensure proper care for all facilities. â?? Maximize taxpayer dollars for classroom instruction: The board should re-evaluate budgets to determine if every dollar being spent is for classroom instruction.

â?? Smart financial planning is imperative to navigate these difficult times. Dr. Moss, the senior staff and Tammy Howington have shown excellent discernment in determining prioritization of capital projects and programming. I am very grateful that this administration has planned diligently. â?? Due to the stress of testing and learning new ways of teaching through technology, how can we keep our teachers fresh and avoid burn-out? Teachers are our systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest resource. Currently we are requiring so much of them, with less help from assistants. â?? Given the current age of technology, how do we keep our children interested in learning? The STEM program is an example of active learning. The laptop initiative in our middle schools has been a positive move in promoting engagement of learning. â?? Behavioral issues create difficulties in our classroom. How can we have classrooms where children can learn, and yet meet the intense needs of some of our children? Our schools have a program, Positive Behavioral Support, that accentuates the positive behavior in children. In the elementary schools, efforts are underway to create an alternative learning situation for children that would benefit from this experience. â?? We need to improve the drop-out rate, and our high schools scores. This coming year in our high schools, the format for labeling a student will change. Instead of having freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years, the high schools will have Year 1, 2, 3 and 4. By this organization, Lee County Schools will offer students the ability to have more flexibility in taking classes. â?? Making sure no stones are left unturned to prepare students for the EOG testing â?? Implementing 21st program initiatives to lower the dropout rate â?? Furthering the construction steps needed for the upcoming renovation of LCHS â?? Maintaining high standards for school safety â?? Keeping a watchful eye on increased class size our with a critical eye on potential growth with regards to BRAC â?? Working to improve test scores at the middle and high schools â?? Narrowing the achievement gap between whites and non-whites â?? Ensuring that programs are in place to reduce behavioral problems that take away from classroom instruction What is key for board members is to realize that the public school landscape is changing rapidly, and we must be vigilant, responsive and committed to support program initiatives and work actions that will improve test scores, lower the dropout rate, maximize time-on-task in the classroom, narrow the achievement gap, improve safety standards at every level and oversee the projected plan to get LCHS renovated.

The Sanford Herald / Sunday, May 2, 2010 / 13A

ASSESS CURRENT BOARD

WHY A BETTER CANDIDATE?

TAXES/TEST SCORES/DROPOUT RATE

The current board has seen a little bit of improvement in student achievement and demonstrated fiscal responsibility. I do not feel though, that the current BOE has adequately addressed the issue currently plaguing our school system. Low academic performances on standardized test, low funding on AIG, Resource and honor programs, increased drop-out rate, and pregnancy rate are a few of the issues I feel the BOE has not fully addressed. I will give the current board a grade of B- to C+. There is room for improvement. I think most of the members on this current board are good people who have the best interest of the kids in mind but we need more people who currently have students in the school system or have students who recently graduated from the Lee county system.

We need a paradigm shift and a philosophy of education that will serve all of our kids and move us in a positive direction. I feel that my presence on the board will greatly enrich the community that we serve. I will bring a fresh and unique perspective that no one presently in the race will have and my leadership skills will be a benefit to the board. My ability to collaborate across racial and socioeconomic lines will bring a true diversity on the board. I will speak for all of our people and those who have no representation at the table. I have served at various non-profit board in the county this had exposed me to the real need our citizens. I have graduate degrees in education and counseling. All of our four children were educated in the lee county school system. Our youngest son is a current student at lee senior high. I am an accountable leader, who believes in the quality education for all of our children.

â?? Taxes, finance of lee county and funding of lee county schools: Lee County Board of Education is a policy making entity by the law. The board of education does not have taxing ability. The Lee County Board of Commissioners is responsible for taxing and funding of the local school system, the rest of the funding comes from the federal and state government. â?? LCS test scores: Our schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; test scores are mediocre at best. There are many variables that the public has no understanding of. There is plenty of room for improvement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; my goal as a board member will be to push for better performance on those state exams. To achieve this goal, we must offer better tutoring and volunteering services at our schools. We need to keep in mind that we are not only preparing kids to do well in school but to become positive contributors in the future. â?? The dropout rate: As I have said earlier, our countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drop-out rate is of great concern to me. We have to find a way to stop this trend. Seventy percent graduation rate is not acceptable. Our goal should be to graduate all of our students.

I do feel that the current board is very cohesive in its decision making. I think there have been a lot of positive action made by the current board, but I also believe that the community does not feel connected to the board or that they have allies for their concerns. I believe that the BOE should tour the schools on the first day of school, engaging the students and showing them that they care. The board can attend every football, tennis or soccer match that we host, but the students may not know that they are present and it is just a different way of reaching out.

I hope to be an advocate for our teachers, parents and students. I am not tied to a political party or movement like some of my opponents. The reason why I decided to run for this position was not to boost my political career, because if elected, this will be it. I do not think that any one person on the board is 100 percent right or 100 percent wrong. I think that each member brings something that is beneficial, but I think that we currently have two â&#x20AC;&#x153;packsâ&#x20AC;? of rule. I believe in being an individual in thought, but someone who listens to everyone before making a decision. If my community is crying out for a situation to change, although I have not felt the need for change, I would vote for change. I feel that strongly that a person should make a decision based on facts and needs of a group, without determining how much it will help your family or friends.

â?? Taxes, finances of Lee County and funding of Lee County Schools: To be honest, this is probably where I lack the most information. I have looked over our budget and have spoken with different educators about where our money comes from and where it is going, and even they are having a hard time explaining it to me. Taxes are high in Lee County and it is especially difficult during such hard economic times, but I do feel that with our current tax we will see the re-birth of Lee Senior which is a much-needed improvement. â?? LCS test scores: Our test scores have shown improvement over the past year, which is a good sign. Our elementary program has ranked high in the state, which was very exciting, but we chose to change our elementary program last year, the one program that had remained our constant â&#x20AC;&#x153;good.â&#x20AC;? I do feel that we have a very long way to go to make things great here in Lee County. â?? LCS dropout rate: Our drop out rate has improved, but I think it is due to the school system choosing to not enforce exams, which is allowing more students to get through the system. This is not necessarily a better drop out rate, but in a way, working the system, which I do not agree with.

The current board offers unique individual characteristics that compliment one another with varied backgrounds. I would bring an additional asset from my construction background at a time that will be important with the construction project at Lee County High School. I feel that Lee County stacks up well compared to surrounding counties like Chatham, Harnett, Moore and even Wake. Lee County out performed each of these counties on the state ABC report card and the federal AYP goals and these results were achieved with a lower per pupil expenditure than all of these except Harnett. In fact, Lee County ranks 82nd out of the 115 school systems in per pupil expenditure. We are getting better results while keeping spending low. I call that value!

I believe my experience as a former Board member and my ability to work with others in a positive way will enable the Board to function with cohesiveness and allows for continuity. My more than 20 years of construction experience will be an asset with the facility needs that the district is facing.

â?? Taxes, finances of Lee County and funding of Lee County Schools: The Board of Education does not have taxing authority. Only the State Legislature and the County Commissioners have that authority. Funding for Lee County Schools comes from federal, state and county allocations. State funds make up the largest portion followed by county funding and then federal funds. The boards role is to prioritize the use of available funds. This takes planning and a good relationship with Board of Commissioners. â?? LCS test scores: 92.8 percent of Lee County Schools met expected growth set by the State and 73.3 percent met AYP goals set by the Federal Government. Lee County out performed our neighboring counties and the state average. â?? LCS dropout rate: Lee County Schools experienced a slight up-tick of less than 1 percent in the drop out rate. This is disappointing because the rate had fallen over the last three years to a ten year low of 4.97 percent. I believe that through programs like STEM, AVID and Lee Early College we can make the necessary connection with each student that will keep them in school.

While I believe that each and every board member must be commended for his/her service to our schools and our community, I feel that several of them have lost touch with the groups they serve. I feel that some have not been aggressive in seeking input from students, parents, and teachers and they have failed to develop a rapport with these groups. I have heard several members of the school board speak only of their contributions and perceived successes without acknowledging that we face many problems in Lee County education and we have a long way to go. In contrast, most of the people I have spoken with have stressed a marked need for change in Lee County education and none have expressed satisfaction with the present leadership.

My experiences as a military child, military member, and military spouse have shaped me into a service minded individual. I work hard to contribute all I can to my community and to be involved at every level. Through my academic experience, I have learned to appreciate the value of opposing points of view and am able to appreciate and consider the arguments of others in seeking solutions to problems. I am energetic and enthusiastic and am willing to dedicate myself wholly to the betterment of Lee County education. I will make myself accessible to students, parents and teachers and will always listen to their comments and concerns.

â?? Taxes, finances of Lee County and funding of Lee County Schools: Lee County Schools, just like any other government entity, must be able work to identify areas where streamlining of processes would help to reduce costs and thus allow for a greater percentage of our systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational dollars to be spend in the classroom. â?? LCS test scores: The number of Lee County students performing at grade level has increased, which is certainly a positive. However, the test scores presented on the State Board of Education Web site include retests, which indicates that a number of our students are not learning necessary information the first time around. â?? LCS dropout rate: The LCS drop out rate increased last year, which is not a good sign. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;slightâ&#x20AC;? increase actually translates to an additional 21 students who will not graduate from a Lee County High School. While there are some who argue that the statistics are misleading and that some go to CCCC to earn a diploma and others earn a G.E.D. the fact remains that they have had to choose an alternative approach only after we have failed them first.

We need better communication to the general public regarding changes that occur which affect the students learning capacity. We also need to provide clarity and transparency.

My investment in this board will be for my children, for parents and their children who do not have a voice, and our teachers. I will not accept mediocrity as standard practice but strive to exceed the benchmark. If elected to the LCBOE, I would be actively engaged with teachers, parents, and students and promoting continuity without in our community. The board should ensure policies are established for the betterment of classroom instruction and support for our teachers.

â?? Taxes, finances of Lee County and funding of Lee County Schools: Lee County is overtaxed Additional funding needs to be acquired through grant dollars Processes need to be streamlined to maximize tax dollars for classroom instruction

Kim Lilley

I am proud to be a member of the current Lee County Board of Education. This board works well together, listening to each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion with respect, and then coming to a consensus on a decision. The current board helped to pass a much needed tax increase to renovate Lee County High School. This board supports a progressive and fiscally responsible administration.

Without question, I have the most experience for this position. I favor a positive, progressive platform centered on the needs of children. Lee County Schools has many positive attributes. Geographically small, this county has an ability to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;well-centered.â&#x20AC;? This year a cross visitation between schools has been a wonderful way to share good teaching methods and provide positive relationship building between county schools. Our test scores show that despite lower per pupil funding, our educators meet the needs of economically disadvantaged students much better than counties that surround us. We are a community that has racial diversity, and our schools embrace that difference as shown in our Annual Yearly Progress scores.

â?? Taxes, finances of Lee County and funding of Lee County Schools: Lee County Schools receives funding from three sources:, state, federal and local governments. Our budget is divided into two sections, continuation and capital. Capital projects have seen significant help in funding from the lottery. Last year the systemsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; state dollars were cut forcing our board to cut some assistant positions. We did receive Federal Stimulus dollars that we have used primarily in technology (laptop, STEM). The school board has asked for a relatively small increase in our local funding. â?? LCS test scores: The 2008-2009 school year showed improvements in many areas for Lee County Schools. They are as follows: 1. 11 of 15 schools made Adequate Yearly Progress (73.3%) 2. 13 of 14 schools made expected or high growth (92.8%) 3. In grades 3-8, reading scores increased from 55.1% to 66.9%. 4. In grades 3-8 math scores increased from 72.6% to 82.4%. â?? LCS dropout rate: This past year the dropout rate rose slightly. Over a three year period our dropout rate have fallen (7.8 to 4.97 in 2009 ) Graduation rates have increased in general from 63.4 to 70.7 percent. Improving the dropout rate is an issue that begins in late elementary school.

It has been a pleasure being one member of a team whose primary goal is excellence in education. When faced with a controversial issue, team members respectfully discuss, debate and ask questions to arrive at a conclusion. Members may not always agree, but they are not disagreeable. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found the current board members to be a consensus building team. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the county needs. The diversity in the professional backgrounds of the current board members is a real plus in decision making. The diversity has served us well.

I bring a great deal of educational training and experiences to the board. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a teacher in public, military, and private schools; a school administrator in public and military schools, central office personnel, and currently a board member. I understand the challenges that school personnel face. I know where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been, where we are and where we need to go. I will bring strengths in the areas of curriculum and instruction and personnel. My training and background give me a small candidate advantage.

â?? Taxes, finances of Lee County and funding of Lee County Schools: The Lee County Commissioners have been very generous in the allocation of funds requested in the school budget the last several years. The economic situation in this county mirrors what is taking place in our nation, but our commissioners are to be commended for their support to our school system. The passage of the quarter-cent sales tax with the money ear-marked for LCHS renovation is a convincing indicator of the pride and interest our citizens have for public education. â?? LCS test scores: It is my sincere hope and expectation to see our test scores continue to rise. I believe we have in place excellent curriculum programs with best practices that will continue to enhance student learning which will translate into better test scores. â?? LCS drop out rate: It is my desire that beginning with the 2010â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2011 school year there will be a research-based program in place that will recognize early behavioral signs that students demonstrate, especially those in the ninth grade, who might drop out.

Protests expect boost from Arizona law

17 caught in search for Arizona deputy’s attackers

CHICAGO (AP) — Activists said outrage over Arizona’s controversial immigration law “awakened a sleeping giant” Saturday as rallies demanding federal immigration reform kicked off in cities across the country. In New York, labor organizer John Delgado said anger over the law — which requires local law enforcement to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they’re in the country illegally — drew more than 5,000 people to a rally at Manhattan’s Foley Square. “She’s awakened a sleeping giant,” Delgado said, referring to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the law. In Los Angeles, singer Gloria Estefan kicked off a massive downtown march to demand immigration reform and protest the Arizona law. Estefan spoke in Spanish and English atop a flatbed truck, proclaiming the United States is a nation of immigrants. She said immigrants are good, hardworking people, not criminals. Cardinal Roger Mahony stood on the truck chanting in Spanish, “Si, se puede,” or “Yes we can.” Organizers believe opposition to the law could be the catalyst to draw tens of thousands to rallies in dozens of cities.

PHOENIX (AP) — Authorities have captured 17 suspected illegal immigrants in southern Arizona as they continued their manhunt Saturday for smugglers who they say shot and wounded a sheriff’s deputy in a remote desert area 50 miles south of Phoenix. Three of those captured overnight Friday matched descriptions from the wounded Pinal County deputy and were being questioned Saturday, sheriff’s Lt. Tamatha Villar said. The deputy was released from the hospital, and was recovering at home. The shooting came amid a growing national debate over the state’s new law cracking down on illegal immigration. A backlash over the law has erupted, with civil rights activists, concerned it will lead to racial profiling, calling for protests and boycotts.

U.S.: Consensus unlikely at nuclear treaty meeting

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States already is acknowledging that delegates from 189 countries gathering next week to review a treaty designed to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons are unlikely to reach consensus. The Obama administration, nevertheless, is hoping to use the conference to build support for strengthening the treaty and to isolate Iran. U.S. officials have been tempering expectations for the U.N. conference on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty because all the treaty’s signatories must agree to any action. Those include Iran, which is flouting U.N. Security Council resolutions designed to force the country to curb nuclear energy programs that could lead to a bomb. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, hoping to thwart U.S. progress on strengthening the treaty, is expected to address the delegates ahead of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday, the opening day of the conference at the United Nations.

Obama takes aim at anti-government rhetoric

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — In a blunt caution to political friend and foe, President Barack Obama said Saturday that partisan rants and name-calling under the guise of legitimate discourse pose a serious danger to America’s democracy, and may incite “extreme elements” to violence. The comments, in a graduation speech at the University of Michigan’s huge football stadium, were Obama’s most direct take about the angry politics that have engulfed his young presidency after long clashes over health care, taxes and the role of government. Not 50 miles from where Obama spoke, the GOP’s 2008 vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, denounced his policies as “big government” strategies being imposed on average Americans. “The fundamental transformation of America is not what we all bargained for,” she told 2,000 activists at a forum in Clarkston, sponsored by the anti-tax Americans for Prosperity Foundation. In his 31-minute speech, Obama didn’t mention either Palin or the tea party movement that’s captured headlines with its fierce attacks on his policies. But he took direct aim at the anti-government language so prevalent today. “What troubles me is when I hear people say that all of government is inherently bad,” Obama said after receiving an honorary doctor of laws degree. “When our government is spoken of as some menacing, threatening foreign entity, it ignores the fact that in our democracy, government is us.”

Pro immigrant protestors gather in front Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe church before marching in downtown Dallas, Saturday. Four years ago, more than a million people across the country united to protest ultimately unsuccessful federal legislation that would have made being an illegal immigrant a felony. The movement fractured and annual May 1 rally attendance dropped sharply as attempts to reform federal immigration policy fizzled. In 2006, nearly half a million people took to Chicago’s streets. Last year, fewer than 15,000 participated in the rallies, held May 1 because it’s a traditional day of protest and International Workers Day. But immigration

reform advocates have seen a flurry of activity since Brewer signed the Arizona measure into law last week. “What happened in Arizona proves that racism and anti-immigrant hysteria across the country still exists. We need to continue to fight,” said Lee Siu Hin, a coordinator with the Washington, D.C.-based National Immigrant Solidarity Network. Activists are mobilizing through online social networking, churches and ethnic media. They have called for a boycott of Arizona businesses and protested outside Arizona

Diamondbacks baseball games. Supporters say the law is necessary because of the federal government’s failure to secure the border, and they pointed to an attack Friday on a sheriff’s deputy in southern Arizona as proof something had to be done. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office said Deputy Louie Puroll was shot and wounded after coming across suspected drug smugglers about 50 miles south of Phoenix. Brewer and others immediately chimed in, saying the attack shows a growing problem with a porous border.

“The horrendous violence we see by narcoterrorists is uncontrolled, and our own federal government refuses to fulfill its responsibility to secure our border,” Brewer said in a statement. Critics of the law say it’s unconstitutional and encourages racial profiling and discrimination against immigrants or anyone thought to be an immigrant. But they say that without federal legislation to address the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S., other states may follow Arizona’s lead. “If Republicans and Democrats do not take care of this albatross around our necks, this will in fact be the undoing of many, many years of civil rights struggle in this country,” said Jorge-Mario Cabrera, a spokesman for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, where organizers expect 100,000 to march downtown Saturday. President Barack Obama once promised to tackle immigration reform in his first 100 days, but has pushed back that timetable several times. He said this week that Congress may lack the “appetite” to take on immigration after going through a tough legislative year.

BRET MICHAELS ILLNESS

E-BRIEFS

Doctor: Rockerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will to live â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;undeniableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bret Michaelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is expected to make a full recovery, according to his doctor. The 47-year-old former Poison frontmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will to live is â&#x20AC;&#x153;undeniable,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Joseph Zabramski, chief of cerebrovascular surgery at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, who has been leading the team treating â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Celebrity Apprenticeâ&#x20AC;? contestant since he suffered a brain hemorrhage last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Michaels will continue to undergo testing considering we have hit a few roadblocks, including hyponatremia, severe cranial and back pain suffered from blood drainage, an emergency appendectomy performed a week earlier and a lifelong history of Type 1 diabetes,â&#x20AC;? Zabramski said in a statement released Friday by Michaelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; publicist, Joann Mignano. Michaels, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 6 and underwent an emergency appendectomy April 12, was rushed to St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital last week with a severe headache. He was later diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which causes bleeding in the fluid-filled spaces around the base of the brain. The cause

Zabramski added. He said Michaels, who has two daughters, 9-year-old Raine Elizabeth and 4-year-old Jorja Bleu, â&#x20AC;&#x153;did not want his family to wake up and see him lying unconscious in the middle of the floor.â&#x20AC;? He also said immediate medical attention and Michaelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;fight to stay conscious during the hemorrhageâ&#x20AC;? enabled doctors to stabilize his condition. Other doctors said it is possible that Michaels

could be healthy enough to appear on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Celebrity Apprenticeâ&#x20AC;? live finale May 23. He is currently one of seven contestants remaining on Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitive reality series, including pop singer Cyndi Lauper, reality TV diva Sharon Osbourne, celebrity chef Curtis Stone and actress Holly Robinson Peete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If all the studies he had done show no evidence of an aneurysm being found, it would really just depend on his energy level,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Ronald Benitez, director of cerebrovascular surgery at Overlook Hospital in Summit, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If all the

tests were negative, and I was watching the show at the end of May, I personally wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if he was on it.â&#x20AC;? Michaels already filmed most of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Celebrity Apprenticeâ&#x20AC;? last fall. However, the finale requires the last two contestants to debate against each other live in front of Trump. If Michaels ascends to the final showdown, it would be unprecedented in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Apprenticeâ&#x20AC;? franchise history if he is not present to defend himself in the boardroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been confronted with anything like this,â&#x20AC;? Trump told Matt Lauer on NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;? show Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is still in the show. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing really, really well, and all of sudden ... I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be live for two hours, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be in four weeks. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be on the finale, but he very well might be.â&#x20AC;? Whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fired or hired by Trump during the May 23 finale or in an earlier installment, Michaelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; representatives are still giving his music fans something to believe in. While his appearances scheduled through May 21 have already been postponed, Michaelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other concert dates, including his summer tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd, are going ahead as scheduled.

O.J.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acquittal suit arrives at Newseum in Washington, D.C. LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The suit O.J. Simpson wore on the day he was acquitted of murder has been delivered to the Newseum in Washington, D.C., where it will be part of a display Simpson focusing on the trial that was viewed by millions.

ARKANSAS

Tornadoes kill woman; drowning also reported

SCOTLAND, Ark. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Leveled homes, overturned vehicles and uprooted trees were scattered across central Arkansas on Saturday after several tornadoes ripped through the state, killing a woman and injuring two dozen others, authorities said. At least one person drowned after heavy rain fell in western Arkansas, said Renee Preslar, spokeswoman for the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management. The woman killed by a tornado was among three people in one of many homes destroyed by the Friday night storms in the small community of Scot-

land, about 75 miles north of Little Rock, said Van Buren County Sheriff Scott Bradley. The two others were hurt, but Bradley did not believe their injuries were life-threatening. A large pig rooted through debris of a fallen home and demolished hog pen in Scotland on Saturday morning, while chain saws buzzed nearby as fallen trees were cleared from roadways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will never look the same here again, but our people help each other out,â&#x20AC;? Bradley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get through this.â&#x20AC;? Ronnie Lindsey, 44, sifted through the rubble of the trailer that he shared with his brother. Lindsey was in Mayflower when the storm hit, and he said his brother, a paraplegic, sought safety in a nearby storm shelter. The storm

Bacon, wandered through the wreckage Saturday morning. Lindsey said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the brothers

would do next. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t insurance here, and who can afford it?â&#x20AC;? he said. Severe damage was

reported in broad swaths from near the Missouri border to the north to Saline County about 20 miles south of Little Rock, said Brian Smith, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Little Rock. But officials were working Saturday to determine exactly how many twisters hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There appear to be at least a half-dozen tracks, but in some cases there may have been one long track,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there trying to determine exactly what happened.â&#x20AC;? High water swept a car off a low-water bridge about 9 p.m. Friday in Scott County, south of Fort Smith on the Oklahoma line, and the driver drowned after getting out of the vehicle and being swept away, Preslar said.

Mayfair leads at Quail Hollow

itting in what was then my future mother-inlaw’s living room, I heard the venom first hand. A group of future family members and friends huddled around the television watching the NASCAR race unfold in front of us, still a couple of years before the sport really took off and became so popular two separate networks paid for the rights to broadcast just half a season. These, I have to say, were the real NASCAR fans. You know who I’m talking about, whether you fall into the category or not. These were the kinds of people who not only understood the sport, they could tell you why the car would act the way it would, and why it wouldn’t. When it came to NASCAR, they were way ahead of the curve, leaving the casual fan deep on the backstretch in danger of falling a lap down. And most of them hated two drivers. Hated them. The first one, I’m sure you know, is easy to figure. This was a time when a young Jeff Gordon was at the top of not just his game, but all of the sport. And many die-hard fans who had been along for NASCAR’s ride for decades didn’t like it. Actually, that’s not a strong enough way to put it. Because when a group of people cheers a wreck before anyone on the broadcast crew even knows the condition of the driver, that’s a different level of dislike. And it was perfectly OK. Accepted. Nobody seemed bent out of shape about it, least of all Gordon, who went about his business piling up wins, championships and wealth. But the other despised driver? Dale Earnhardt. What was interesting about the period was that while the entire room respected Earnhardt for his ability — how could you not? — at least half the learned fans there took that respect and happily threw it out the window netting. And they weren’t alone. Not by a long shot. To so many NASCAR fans at the time, Dale Earnhardt was arrogant. Dale Earnhardt was a jerk. Dale Earnhardt was a showboat. Dale Earnhardt was only out for himself. Dale Earnhardt was a lot of things that can’t be printed here. Even as his trials in the Daytona 500 left the greatest driver of his generation without the sport’s grandest prize for

Yellow Jackets win special game over county rivals By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — This was more than just a game. This was more than just a rivalry. This was about more than bragging rights within the community. This was about honoring the memory of a loved student athlete in the community. Although the Lee County Yellow Jackets won the 10th Annual Priscilla Anne Edwards Scholarship Endowment softball game 6-2 against county rival Southern Lee on Saturday afternoon at Tramway Athletic Park, this was one of those times where the final score wasn’t the most important part of the game. “The competition we were playing was all part of the bigger picture,” said Lee County head coach Miles McCaskill. “This game wasn’t about the two teams on the field, it was about honoring the memory of Priscilla. With a great turnout like we had today, it shows Southern Lee’s Ashley Poe swings to hit the ball on Saturday that the community still cares. The as the Cavaliers face the Yellow Jackets.

CHARLOTTE — Billy Mayfair has a two-shot lead going into the final round of the Quail Hollow Championship, a position that seemed so unlikely when he was racing to the golf course to make his tee time for a Monday qualifier. Finishing off an amazing week with his first victory in 12 years might be just as difficult. Mayfair never lost the lead during a made scramble to catch him Saturday, finishing with two strong pars for a 1-under 71 that gave him the lead over Masters champion Phil Mickelson and Carolina favorite Davis Love III. “Today was a real test for me,” Mayfair said. “I kept it going for 18 holes and still have the lead going into tomorrow.” Mickelson, in his first start since winning a third green jacket, overcame food poisoning at the start of the week and few errant shots to put himself in a great position to join a strong list of champions at Quail Hollow. He birdied the par 5s on the back nine, and escaped with par on the final hole with a two-putt from 60 feet. Mickelson purposely left the flag in the cup on his first putt because he wasn’t aiming at the hole, wanting to avoid any chance of the ball running down a slope. He knocked in a 6-footer for par and a 71. Love birdied three of his last five holes for a 4-under 68 and will play in the final group with Mayfair.

KENTUCKY DERBY

Super Saver wins Kentucky Derby with Borel aboard By BETH HARRIS AP Racing Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — They don’t call him Bo-rail for nothing. Calvin Borel grabbed the rail and didn’t let go Saturday, sloshing through the slop on another flawless ride to win his third Kentucky Derby in four years. The most wide-open Derby in years ended with a sure thing — Borel crossing the finish line and punching the air with this right fist, raising it toward the gray sky. The jockey’s magic touch on his home track gave trainer Todd Pletcher his first Derby victory after 24 failures. “Calvin Borel is a great rider anywhere he goes, but at Churchill Downs he’s even five lengths better,” Pletcher

said. “He knows how to ride this track and gets along with his colt beautifully.” Borel’s ride nearly duplicated the one he turned in last year aboard 50-1 shot Mine That Bird, except he and Super Saver went off at lower odds and were never in last place. He was confident enough in his colt and his knowledge of the track to take him off the lead in the early going of the 1 1/4-mile race. In all but one of his six previous races, Super Saver had never been farther back than second in the early stages. Borel knew that strategy wouldn’t work in a 20-horse Derby field on a tirAP photo ing, sloppy track that had been pelted Calvin Borel rides Super Saver to victory during the by heavy rain early in the day.

SPORTS SCENE

Armanti Edwards learning on the job with Panthers By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE— Armanti Edwards finished running a route Saturday morning and Carolina offensive coordinator Jeff Davidson hustled over for a critique. Seconds later, Panthers coach John Fox chimed in before clapping with encouragement. After Edwards caught a pass over the middle, receivers coach Tyke Tolbert shouted, “That’s it, Armanti!” Before the workout was over, Edwards was praised for quickly learning the proper technique of fielding a punt. Nobody on Carolina’s roster is getting more attention at this weekend’s minicamp, and for a good reason. The former Appalachian State quarterback is the Panthers’ biggest draft gamble. “I’ve got a lot to learn,” Edwards said. Indeed, the wiry, speedy, elusive QB who engineered the Mountaineers’ stunning upset of Michigan in 2007 and delivered two FCS national championships, is not behind center anymore. The 5-foot-11, 182pound Edwards is running routes as a receiver, something he hasn’t done since his junior year of high

school. He’s also fielding punts for the first time in his life. “It was expected,” Edwards said of his position change. “I’m undersized so I basically knew I was making the transition to receiver right away.” Few expected Edwards to go so high in the draft, or have a team go to such lengths to take the only player in NCAA Division I history to pass for 10,000 yards and rush for 4,000 more. Panthers general manager Marty Hurney was so determined to get Edwards that he traded next year’s second-round pick to New England for the Patriots third-round choice, where they snagged the Greenwood, S.C., native. “We think he has the talent to warrant that,” Hurney said. “You’re talking about him having a year to develop and a year to train at the wide receiver position and returns or however we decide to use him. “Hopefully in a year we’ll see that it was the right thing to do. He has a lot of qualities that make you think he is going to be a very good football player.” The Panthers hope Edwards can became another Josh Cribbs or Antwaan Randle-El, converted col-

BASEBALL Yellow Jackets control own destiny By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — After a huge 6-5 extra inning victory over Cary on Friday night, Charlie Spivey and the Lee County Yellow Jackets control their own destiny. Tied with Fuquay-Varina and Apex for the fifth and final 4-A State Baseball Tournament spot from the Tri-9 Conference, the Yellow Jackets can qualify for the postseason by winning their final two games of the season at Panther Creek on Wednesday and against Fuquay on Friday. So, Spivey is approaching every game from here on out like the Yellow Jackets are already in the playoffs. “We know that if we lose AP photo to Panther Creek, it’ll make Carolina Panthers’ draft pick Armanti Edwards (10) our chances of getting in a from Appalachian State catches a pass during rookie little more difficult.

so long, the rhetoric from much of the NASCAR masses bordered on what St. Louis Cardinals fans say to Chicago Cubs fans inside Busch Stadium. Actually, it was much worse. That kind of missed opportunity for one so great tends to soften the hatersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vision of the man, but even as the drivers lined up along pit road in 1998 to congratulate the Intimidator when he finally took the checkered flag, many NASCAR fans werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so easily swayed. And they made their feelings known. Certainly, when Earnhardt was killed in the crash at Daytona in 2001, everything changed. Not just in NASCAR, which finally began its long process of taking real safety measures to the track and inside the car, but to the fans. But something else

The Sanford Herald / Sunday, May 2, 2010 / 3B three in five years from 1960-64. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Calvin Borel is amazing.

Baffert should know. He thought he had his fourth Derby victory in the bag last year until front-running Pioneerof the Nile was overtaken in the stretch by Borel and Mine That Bird. Baffertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lookin At Lucky wound up sixth, clearly compromised by starting on the rail.

Pletcher let out a whoop and slapped his hands together after his colt crossed the finish line, snapping a skid that the Eclipse Awardwinning trainer was eager to end. He seemed to have a lock on his first Derby win until expected favorite Eskendereya was withdrawn last weekend with a swollen leg. That left Pletcher with four horses in the race, but none as highly regarded. His other finishers were: Mission Impazible, ninth; filly Devil May Care, 10th; and Discreetly Mine, 13th.

happened, and it moved the masses. Earnhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shocking death seemed to change everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion about him. Almost in an instant, he became beloved by everyone who followed the sport, and over the last decade, it has been truly difficult to find anyone who will admit he so much as even once rooted against Dale Earnhardt. Is that a good thing? Probably. It proves even the most hardened of souls has a heart. Of course, nobody ever wanted the man to die. (Although it should be noted that some most certainly wished for something like that in the heat of battle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you know they did.) But it still seems that something else has been lost. Something bigger. Reality. Why is it taboo to admit that Earnhardt was perhaps the most polarizing figure in the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history? Why should anyone be afraid to risk scorn

for admitting he despised Earnhardt when he was in his prime? Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Earnhardt be discussed in anything less than a fawning manner? No one can deny that the definition of a NASCAR fan has changed since the sport went through its meteoric rise in the early 2000s. So have the drivers. But as ticket prices skyrocketed and cookie-cutter tracks in megamarkets closed the milers-andunders tucked away in the hills that were once the backbones of the sport, a kind of sterility has permeated the scene as a whole. NASCAR just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as tough as it used to be. Who knew that Dale Earnhardt, of all people, would reveal such a thing? Alex Podlogar is The Heraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports editor.

support and love to the Edwards family. It sends a great message.â&#x20AC;? Southern Lee head coach Tammy Batten agrees and was amazed at the size of the crowd that turned out to the game. About 120 tickets were sold and over $3,000 was raised for the Edwards Scholarship Fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to have such a good crowd on hand for a game like this,â&#x20AC;? said Southern Lee head coach Tammy Batten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With as much going on in the community this weekend, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see a big crowd come out for a great cause like this.â&#x20AC;? Edwards was a former Lee County volleyball and softball player who was killed in a car accident in August of 2000. In 2001, the Edwards Scholarship Endowment was established by friends and family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a day every year that we are always going to remember,â&#x20AC;? said McCaskill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a pleasure to be a part of a community that shows so much support for the Edwards family.â&#x20AC;? The Yellow Jackets (4-12, 5-10) were led by pitcher Oaklie Hibbardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complete game. Hibbard allowed just five hits and struck out four and walked two in seven innings of work. She had a shut out going on until allowing two runs in the final inning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oaklieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a consistent piece for us all season long,â&#x20AC;? said McCaskill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She did a great job making the right throws and keeping her batters behind. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a good

job all year but we just havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done a good job defensively to help her out. We did that today.â&#x20AC;? Offensively, the Lady Jackets were led by Caleigh Thomas, who was 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a single with two runs. Paige Hammonds was 1-for-3 with an RBI double in the sixth inning. Hibbard was also 1-for-3 with an RBI single in the sixth. Ashley Paulin, Tiffany Cox and Tyler Lett all had hits for Lee County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been struggling this year and one of the medicines for struggling is momentum,â&#x20AC;? said McCaskill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got the momentum early on and we kept it going throughout the ballgame. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased with our effort and I hope we can build from it to close out the season.â&#x20AC;? The Cavaliers were limited to just five hits in the entire game and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get on the scoreboard until the bottom of the seventh when Heather Hudson, who reached based on an RBI single, scored Katie Gay. The following batter, Ashley Poe, reached base on a walk and scored Caroline Bunnell. Despite what the two teams were playing for, Batten says that her team had to look at Saturday as just another game on the schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lee County hung in there and got a big victory,â&#x20AC;? said Batten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They played well and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. This was another softball game for us and we had to approach it that way. We got a big win on Friday night and we wanted to keep that going. We now have to bounce back on Tuesday against Douglas Byrd.â&#x20AC;?

The Cavaliers got a 5-2 victory over Union Pines on Friday night. Batten says that her team, which just wrapped up playing four games in a week, will be well rested for Douglas Byrd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a day off on Monday and with us not having school on Tuesday, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get together a little early and do some stretching and some warm-ups,â&#x20AC;? said Batten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just tired. Playing four games in a week will do that to a team. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get our rest.â&#x20AC;? The Yellow Jackets will close out their season this week with games against Panther Creek and Fuquay-Varina. McCaskill hopes that Lee County can build from sweeping the county rivals and turn it into two Tri-9 Conference victories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to take what we did today and build,â&#x20AC;? said McCaskill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can play like we did here and make no mistakes, I think we can compete and have a good chance at winning. This was the first time in a while that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played seven complete innings. We finished a game and did what we had to do to win.â&#x20AC;? Former Lee County softball coach Lou Layton, who coached Edwards during her three seasons on the team, says that Edwards was a hard worker that would do everything it took to win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a special, special player,â&#x20AC;? said Layton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was quite the competitor and worked extremely hard to help us win. She did her best at everything, no matter what it was. She was a special player and a special person.â&#x20AC;?

Jones homers twice as ChiSox beat Yankees

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Andruw Jones hit two more homers off a shaky Javier Vazquez, A.J. Pierzynski boomed a go-ahead double and the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees 7-6 Saturday. The Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three-game winning streak ended, and they also lost center fielder Curtis Granderson. He strained his left groin while dashing on a hit-and-run single, badly hobbled into third and went to a hospital for an MRI exam. The White Sox rallied in the seventh. Paul Konerko doubled with one out and Carlos Quentin drew an intentional walk from David Robertson (0-2) with two outs. Damaso Marte relieved and Pierzynski met him with a double to deep left-center. Scott Linebrink (1-0) won despite allowing Swisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-run homer. Bobby Jenks pitched the ninth for his fifth save.

Rangers 6, Mariners 3 SEATTLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mariners ace Felix Hernandez saw his string of 18 consecutive

quality starts snapped in his shortest outing in nearly a calendar year as Matt Harrison dazzled for Texas. Hernandez (1-1) lasted just 4 1-3 innings, and was tagged for five runs and eight hits by the Rangers. It was the first time since May 9 of last season that Hernandez failed to go at least five innings and ended a string of quality starts dating to Aug. 1. Harrison (2-2) worked extra to pick up his first victory of the season. The young lefthander threw 127 pitches, making it through six innings against the light-hitting Mariners. Elvis Andrus added a tworun double and Josh Hamilton hit a solo homer for the Rangers. Tigers 3, Angels 2 DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Johnny Damonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first homer in a Detroit uniform came in the ninth inning and gave the Tigers a 3-2 win over the Angels. Damonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-out shot came on a 2-0 pitch from Scot Shields (0-1), who came in to start the ninth inning. Shields

retired Austin Jackson before Damon homered to right field, making a winner of Ryan Perry (1-1), who retired the final two batters in the top of the ninth. Athletics 4, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rookie catcher Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer, Gio Gonzalez won his second straight start and the Athletics snapped a four-game skid. The homer was the first major league hit for Donaldson, who was called up from Triple-A on Friday when Kurt Suzuki went on the 15-day disabled list. Eric Pattersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBI single gave the Athletics a 1-0 lead in the second and Oakland made it 4-0 with a three-run fourth against former teammate Dana Eveland (2-1). Jake Fox led off with a double and scored on Donaldsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-out homer into the leftfield bullpen. One out later, Cliff Pennington singled, stole second and scored on a base hit by Rajai Davis. Gonzalez (3-1) was perfect through the first three innings for Oakland.

The Braves have won two straight after ending a nine-game skid that was their worst in nearly four years. Houston lost its fifth straight.

BRIDGE HAND

Husband’s e-mail flirt lacks wife’s stamp of approval

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: You can make headway this year if you put your time, effort and know-how into contracts, deals and investment opportunities. This can be a lucrative year if you take a different approach to an old goal or reunite with someone from your past. Your intuition will not lead you astray but someone who doesn’t have your best interests at heart may. Your numbers are 1, 8, 16, 24, 29, 31, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t isolate yourself because you are so intent on being first. Spending more time on looking your best and flirting and socializing will be a much better way to spend your day and improve your life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Experience is the spice of life and, right now, you need something inspirational to happen. Different cultures, lifestyles and traditions will help you revisit your own beliefs and decide what and whom you want to keep in your life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t be afraid to make some financial changes. You will have insight and can make a decision that brings you profits in the future. A property investment will bring you a sense of security and stability. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Prepare your work for the upcoming week -- it can make all the difference. An interesting proposal can be yours if you are willing to diversify. Adapting to change will put you in the lead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t take a chance or say something that might offend another. Watch and observe instead of being the center of attention. A friendship with someone who needs your help will be uplifting and will help spin you in a practical direction. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A new friendship will develop from an activity

WORD JUMBLE

or event that brings you in touch with like-minded people. Enlightening talks will make you question what you want to do with the rest of your life. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): An acquaintance will realize your potential. Present your ideas, along with a budget, and you will entice someone to take part in your plans. Don’t allow someone who is close to you to stand in your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Networking with people striving to reach similar goals will reveal valuable information, helping you jumpstart your plans. Invest in your talent. You have lots to offer and often sell yourself short. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Make your move but not at the expense of a friendship or partnership. Change is required if you want to make things better. Be aboveboard and honest about your intentions. A concern about your financial situation will be raised. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Emotional matters must be dealt with immediately. Deception about someone from your past will lead you in the wrong direction. Find out firsthand before you make a decision that will be difficult to reverse. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Don’t get involved in something you don’t want to participate in because someone else wants you to. You can make extra money if you offer a service you feel comfortable doing. Avoid taking part in a joint financial venture -- it will lead to a tight and uncompromising spot. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t take too long to dwell over the ins and outs of something that needs to be done. Give whatever is required of you. Your sincerity and compassionate nature will help you help others. The potential to meet someone important to you through an organization you join is likely.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband, “Ted,” for many years. He is a people person with close friends of both sexes. I have never had a problem with his having female friends because I trust him, and because these women are my friends, too. Recently, however, a woman I’ll call “Ellie” has become infatuated with my husband. At least I think she has, and I need an unbiased perspective. Ted has a separate e-mail account and he has shown me some of her messages. She calls him “Dearest” and says things like, “You are amazing; you are inspirational; you are my special friend; and you rascal, you.” He either doesn’t reply or is very careful how he does. Abby, I sense that Ellie is trying to establish a separate relationship with Ted. He and I have discussed it. He thinks it’s funny and we have joked about it, but we’re both becoming uncomfortable around her. We have mutual friends we see once a month for dinner. We’d have to explain to them why we want to cut off contact with Ellie. They may understand because Ellie’s flirting has been escalating at these dinners. Am I being paranoid? — WONDERING IN WASHINGTON DEAR WONDERING: If you and Ted have both become uncomfortable because of Ellie’s advances, you’re not paranoid. Yes, you can

we have never been anywhere by ourselves, he seemed to really consider it. The next day he said, “OK, let’s take a cruise.” Then he said, “I’ll call my brother and see if he and his wife want to come with us!” Am I wrong in feeling upset that my husband doesn’t care enough to go anywhere with just me or to a place that I want to visit? — NEEDS A VACATION

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

withdraw from the dinners so you have less exposure to Ellie. But there is another way to handle it. Your husband can inform the woman that her attentions are making him uncomfortable and, if she wants to communicate via e-mail, she do it using your joint account — and block her from his private one. o DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Gerald,” and I have been married since the ‘70s, and in all that time we have never taken a trip or shared a vacation by ourselves. He makes the plans (even asking me where I’d like to go), but we always end up visiting one of his relatives or friends instead. And I end up doing the same things there I do at home — cooking meals, cleaning, doing dishes and laundry — while Gerald sits and enjoys himself. The last time I mentioned that

DEAR NEEDS: Not in my book. It appears that your husband doesn’t consider one-on-one time with you to be special, and that IS upsetting. When he suggested inviting his brother and sister-inlaw along on the cruise, I hope you responded with a resounding “No!” But if you didn’t, I’m recommending that for your next vacation, YOU make the reservations and plan the destination. After 40 years, you deserve a holiday you can enjoy. o DEAR ABBY: I have a short question I need an answer to. How do we know when it’s time to end a relationship and move on? — KIKI IN TEXAS DEAR KIKI: The short answer is when it brings you more pain than pleasure. The longer answer is, when you make a list of the pros and cons in the relationship, and the cons outnumber the pros.

Domestic tabby in SC adopts abandoned bobcats

Mom turns in son for stealing drugs from her bra

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — In just a few months, three baby bobcats found in South Carolina could be a danger to a gray tabby named Zoe. But these days, the fuzzy felines are just members of the family for the nursing mother. The bobcats, orphaned after the abandoned house they were living under in Newberry County was demolished, are being nursed by Zoe at Carolina Wildlife Care near the Saluda River a few miles northwest of downtown Columbia. The nursing is expected to last about four weeks and is intended to give the bobcats a feline on which to imprint, said Joanna Weitzel, executive director of the wildlife rescue group. “It’s important they get that nurturing and care from a species similar to their own.” After five weeks, though, their razor-sharp teeth and claws could hurt Zoe and Zoe’s kittens - an orange tabby and a calico that now dwarf the three bobcats in their kennel. The bobcats are expected to grow over the coming months to the size of large dogs — about 22 inches tall and up to 70 pounds — while their adoptive siblings will likely max out around 10 pounds. Once the bobcats are weaned, they will be put in a specially built habitat. The goal is to minimize their contact with humans. “If they lose their natural fear of humans, it’s almost like a death sentence,” Weitzel said. The habitat alone will cost about $2,000, not including the year’s supply of live rodents the three will need to learn how to hunt and kill. Carolina Wildlife is hoping to raise enough money to provide the care the bobcats will need for up to 18 months when they should be ready to return to the wild. The animals are being checked out by a veterinarian at nearby Riverbanks Zoo.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A Memphis woman called police after she found her son stealing her prescription sedatives from her bra. The Commercial Appeal reported that police found a 28-year-old man hiding under a neighbor’s sport utility vehicle Wednesday morning. The mother, whose name police didn’t release, told officer she awakened before dawn to find her son filching Xanax from her bra, where she kept it to prevent him from stealing it. Police said the man had 22 Xanax pills, 15 of them wrapped in toilet paper and hidden in his sock. Officer said a search of the man’s room turned up more pills and various drug paraphernalia. He was in jail Thursday with bond set at $40,000.

SUDOKU

Buzz off! Thousands of bees cling to Michigan SUV HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) — A beekeeper came to the rescue after a sport utility vehicle was swarmed by thousands of bees. Tanya Young of Hudsonville told The Grand Rapids Press her husband called Thursday to let her know that the bees had made the front bumper of her Honda their new home. She said she thought it was a joke. The bees rattled the nerves of some neighborhood residents, who kept children indoors and shut windows. The bees had been living in a nearby tree, but it’s unclear why they decided to swarm the SUV. Beekeeper Jim Zoerner was called to help collect them. He and a colleague worked for about an hour and collected the bees in a wooden box hive.

Jesus promises eternal life to believers Q: Is there any way I can know -- really know -- that I am going to go to heaven when I die? I believe in Jesus and have given my life to Him, but I still can’t say that I know beyond doubt that I’ll go to heaven. -- L.F. A: Imagine for a moment that you owed the bank an enormous amount of money -- far beyond your ability to repay, even in the best of times. Even if you worked hard the rest of your life, you knew you’d never be able to earn enough to pay this debt -- and yet it had to be repaid or you’d lose everything. Seemingly, your situation was hopeless. But then suppose the banker’s son came along and befriended you -- and not only that, but he offered to pay the debt for you. Would you accept his offer? Of course you would -- and if you did, the debt would be canceled forever, and you’d be free from your fears of ever losing your possessions. This is somewhat similar to what Jesus Christ did for you. You owed God a debt far greater than you could ever repay -- a debt caused by sin. And no matter how good you were or how hard you tried, you could never be good enough to erase that debt. But Jesus Christ, the Son of God, did it for you! By His death on the cross He paid the price for our redemption, and now our sins are forgiven -- completely! The Bible says, “God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins” (Colossians 2:13). Remember: If you have trusted Christ, He has made you a member of His family forever -- and nothing can ever change that.

Prom in the hospital: For one night, just kids By MONICA RHOR For The Associated Press

HOUSTON — On the eighth floor of Texas Children’s Hospital, behind double doors leading to the renal dialysis unit, Jasmine Davis floated through the hallway in a frothy cocktail dress of black lace and teal satin. A rhinestone tiara glittered against her soft halo of dark curls. A few feet away, Carlos Mata shifted nervously from one foot to another, clasping a bow tie and glancing shyly at the cluster of pretty girls. On most days, Jasmine and Carlos arrive on this floor of the Houston hospital prepared to spend several hours tethered to a dialysis machine, a process that keeps them alive but can also keep them from experiencing regular childhood rituals. This night would be different. On this Sunday in late April, they would brush aside the necessary routine of doctors’ visits, needle pricks and dialysis machines and, for a few magical hours, get the chance to be normal, silly, giggling, dancing kids. Jasmine, Carlos and about two dozen other young patients from the hospital’s renal services unit were going to the prom. The event organized by a small army of hospital employees, volunteers and community supporters would be a first for the hospital, and for nearly all the patients, many of whom have missed out on school dances, classmates’ parties and other commonplace social rites because of illness. For weeks, the teenagers had imagined a night of glitter and magic. But now, just an hour before the prom, the young people primping in hospital corridors and treatment rooms were get-

“All the time they spend in the hospital might be in conflict with regular activities like the prom,” said Helen Currier, director of the hospital’s renal services unit. “And the kids they go to school with might not be their peers. Their peers are other children with chronic illnesses. They are different and they get treated as different.” Melanie Duncan considered herself in a small handheld mirror. It had taken a hair stylist more than an hour to curl and comb the 19-year-old’s thick mane of strawberry blonde hair.

ter bus that carried the young prom-goers from the hospital to the House of Dereon. She wore a strapless, chocolate-tinted evening gown, the color a perfect complement to her peaches-and-cream complexion. Behind her, a stream of young girls in dresses of emerald, lilac, silver, ruby red and sea-foam blue and a line of young men in black suits and white shirts stepped out from the bus and onto the red carpet. The storm-saturated clouds of that morning had dispersed to unveil a gloriously sunny afternoon. Behind the double doors leading into the House of Dereon, strobe lights cast multicolored shadows on the walls. Silver and gold balloons bobbled above tables decorated with silver top hats and party bags filled with perfume, T-shirts, tiny Academy Award statues and other prom mementoes. As each teenager opened the door and slipped inside the club, they were greeted with a burst of pulsating party music. Jay-Z and Alicia Keys were singing: “Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, There’s nothing you can’t do.” And in that moment, everything else — the doctors and dialysis, kidney transplant waiting lists and school days missed from sickness — seemed to fall away. Jasmine took her place on the dance floor, swiveling her hips and cha-chacha-ing next to her dialysis nurse. Melanie quickly bonded with another teenage transplant recipient and eagerly explored every inch of the party. “This is the most fun I’ve had in a long while,” gushed Melanie. “It’s awesome.”

E-mail, text and instant messaging have become the go-to technology for parents on family outings or at the end of a long day, when momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chilling on the couch in front of the TV and dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reading in the bed-

room more than a whisper away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a time when I would get really upset if I was IMed from another room in the house. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complete parental survival tool,â&#x20AC;? says KellyAnn Bonnell, whose kids are 10 and 15. Tammy Gold, a parenting coach in Short Hills, N.J., says phones and online tools are particularly important in tight spaces like apartments, where there are fewer secluded spots, and

especially with older kids who stay up as late or later than the grown-ups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had parents who say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weeks before they can speak,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents these days put â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; into each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phones or else it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.â&#x20AC;? Parents in two-BlackBerry households are using the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free text service and relying on the messaging features on Facebook since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re logging on frequently anyway. Others have come up with languages all their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Should we partake in a visit to the place with aluminum obstacles or cages containing mammals?â&#x20AC;? Greg Abel and his wife value their synonyms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the playground and the zoo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when their kids are listening, especially when more open discussion would likely lead to a sibling spat or major disappointment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a bright 5year-old who can spell, so we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spell out words in front of him,â&#x20AC;? said Abel, from Baltimore, Md. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to decide if we should give him ice cream, but only after his younger brother has gone to bed, we might say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Should we give the elder a frozen confection?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; With a 2-year-old, Melissa Kaupke in Nashville, Tenn., can still spell that and lots of other things, but she wishes her husband was on board with her own parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; secret language of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ob.â&#x20AC;?

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out and about or stuck at home with no date night in sight, parents are constantly on the hunt for kid-proof ways to communicate with each other about things that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until bedtime. Ob,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents did the same thing when he was little. Unfortunately, my husband thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too silly to do, because it works really well.â&#x20AC;? Mom-of-three Amy Wilson, who wrote the off-Broadway hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mother Loadâ&#x20AC;? and has a new book out about mothering called â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Did I Get Like This?â&#x20AC;? relies on e-mail in tight spots, especially when her pack â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ages 2,5 and 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was younger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have used it while my husband is driving,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the passenger seat, and the baby is asleep in back. All of my kids were so attuned to my voice that if I talked at all, they would wake up. So I would sit and look out the window, and as the married couple to-dos occurred to me I would email them to my husband, sitting not even an armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length away.â&#x20AC;? Foreign languages, made

up or the regular kind, are not only handy but can whip up interest in kids who want in on the secret. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife and I were both French instructors, so we spoke French around our two children,â&#x20AC;? says Robert Magnan of Madison, Wis., of his now grown kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand French, the system worked well. It also motivated them both to learn French and become fluent in it.â&#x20AC;? Jessica Gottleib, the mother of an 11-year-old daughter and an 8-yearold son in Los Angeles, grew up with elders who spoke German when they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the kids to hear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as we heard â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;der kinderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d start listening,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak it, but I know when my dad is talking about me, and I know exactly what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying. I wish we spoke

another language.â&#x20AC;? Instead, she and her husband text at home for ears-only chats and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t above a little incentive to keep their confabs confidential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We usually just send them out of the room and then whisper, though weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been known to give them a dollar if they scat faster.â&#x20AC;? Not everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on board the technology train in excluding kids. Sharon Hirsch, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at the University of Chicago Medical Center, thinks parents lose a lot when they rely too much on instant technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Texting or e-mailing is fine for brief informational exchanges like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m picking up Jimmy at 7,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the best way to communicate complex ideas, issues and concepts is directly, face to face. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that in an IM.â&#x20AC;?

More on the Dairy Bar

A Sunday hodgepodge to ponder

ast week’s column dealt with the changes at the Fairview Dairy Bar, and I have heard a lot of response in the week following. The column was this week’s most viewed story on our website, for starters, and had several comments from readers. I’ve also had phone calls from readers on both sides. I didn’t like writing about the foreclosure proceedings between Rick Quinn, the current owner of the restaurant, and the former owners Kathy and Paul Freedle without speaking to at least one of the parties. I had calls in to both sides last week, but didn’t get a chance to speak with them. But I had the court documents, and I figured since everyone in town was talking about it, I had to report something. I finally caught up with Quinn on Saturday. He explained in further detail his side of the story. Basically, he said, “we have struggled to succeed in what is the worst economies we have ever seen.” He said receipts were down 17 percent the month prior to his taking over. In his first month, they were still down 14 percent. But the next month, he was up 4 percent and thought he was on the right track. But then the “Great Recession” sank its teeth into the local economy, and things went south in a hurry. The recovery Quinn had expected in March and April hasn’t come either, forcing his hand. He wanted to make clear that the rumor he had raised prices too high for the restaurant to be competitive simply isn’t true. “We refused to and in fact did not raise prices because of the economy and how it would impact our customers,” he said. “We believed that volume would make up for the increased price of incoming food from our vendors. This worked on paper assuming the typical increase in volume in March and April, but this annual cycle did not occur for us as it did not for so many others.” And you know, I agree with him. I’ve heard the same complaints from some that he had raised prices, but I didn’t really see it when I ate there. Sure, he added many new items that may have been more costly, but the basic menu pretty much stayed the same, as did the specials. This left him with three options as he sees

CCCC instructor brings China to Sanford, thanks to BRAC By KATHERINE McDONALD Special to The Herald

SANFORD — Southern Lee High School sophomore Colton Moretz had a question for Central Carolina Community College Professor Shuya Che: Does China have a middle class? Che assured him that China does. The question and answer would have been a common classroom exchange except that Moretz was seated in a classroom at Southern Lee, while Che, the college’s Confucius Classroom instructor, was several miles away at the college, interacting with the student via videoconferencing. Moretz and the approximately 30 other Southern Lee students in the classroom weren’t the only students in central North Carolina videoconferencing with Che about Chinese culture and language. Students from five other high schools also questioned the professor about her homeland, The People’s Republic of China, on topics from pollution to religion. All were connected to each other through the Distributed Learning Network established by the BRAC Regional Task Force. The hub of the network is located at the All American Center for Workforce Innovation at Fayetteville Technical Community College. The Center was set up using $800,000 from a state JobsNOW grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The network is a tool to interconnect area educational institutions and economic de-

Chinese is second only to English as the language of international commerce. As the world grows smaller, knowledge of China and the Mandarin Chinese language is an invaluable asset in education, politics, and business globally. That is why, in 2009, Central Carolina C.C. decided to partner with N.C. State University’s Confucius Institute, to establish the Confucius Classroom at the college’s Lee County Campus, in Sanford. N.C. State and CCCC are the first in the United States to develop a partnership for a Confucius Classroom at a community college. NCSU’s Institute

The growing importance of China in international commerce is also the reason that the BRAC RTF was interested in having Che address high school students in the 11-county region around Fort Bragg included in the RTF.

s you may have known, the opportunity to take advantage of the tax credits offered by the U.S. government ended this past Friday. If you did not have a signed and accepted offer to purchase a home, you are not eligible for the homebuyer tax credits. We have seen an increase in activity, but not really an increase in contracts due to this. At this time the only exception to this deadline is for deployed military personnel. Those who are serving in the military overseas have additional time to take advantage of the tax credit. So, if you have a friend or family member who is serving in the military, let them know. They deserve our thanks and some consideration when it comes to taking advantage of the tax credits. While I appreciate the furor surrounded by the tax credit, and the opportunities it has created for the real estate and building industries, I am somewhat glad for it to be ending. Why, you may ask? Well, I think that you should buy a house because of its merits, and its value to you, not because the government gives you money to do so. The reality is that this credit is really money our government doesn’t have, so the U.S. is, in essence, borrowing money to pay to those who qualify for this program. In addition, homeowners get to deduct mortgage interest and financing costs, so buying a home has had great tax incentives for most of my life. I do not want to see the real estate industry do what the car industry did, which is to become so tied to discounting that it becomes commonplace. Over the last decade, car sales have ebbed and flowed on the basis of rebate programs. The car companies had to move cars, because they

CHAMBER CHAT

Join us in celebrating small business

Bob Joyce Bob Joyce is President of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce.

n Thursday, the Chamber and the CCCC Small Business Center will co-host the 25th Small Business Banquet at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. Since 1985, we have gathered annually as a business community to honor the small businesses that make Broadway, Sanford and Lee County such a unique place to live and work. The public is invited to this celebration and tickets are still available by

calling the Chamber (775-7341) or the Small Business Center (774-6442). Small businesses are part of the character of our community. Many towns are not as fortunate as we are in Lee County. There are hundreds of communities

in the US that do not have a local grocery store, bank or auto repair shop. Imagine what a different place we’d be if items and services like tires, dry cleaning, picture framing, building supplies or a good ham biscuit were 30 minutes away. Think how fortunate we are to be able to order wedding invitations locally and get advice face to face from the business owner?

it. One, he could raise prices and cut expenses. He cut expenses but was reluctant to raise prices, he said, because he figured that would only compound the problem. Two, he could try to negotiate an amortization plan for repayment on the loan. But the two sides couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree on an acceptable plan, he said, leading to the third option â&#x20AC;&#x201D; allowing the restaurant to be returned to the Freedles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a sad business situation, but it is exactly that, business,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(His wife) Frankie and I were very happy at the Dairy Bar. We have a 99.5 percent health grade, we were voted Best Restaurant in Lee County and have built relationships with our team and clientele which is the more important value of our

lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; relationships.â&#x20AC;? Quinn said the Freedles would be taking over â&#x20AC;&#x153;very soon,â&#x20AC;? although he would not say a specific date. And he is already looking into his next venture, something he said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about at this time but would keep me informed about it in coming months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not ashamed of anything,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were honored to take a swing at it, but the timing was wrong. We did our best. Why do we fall down? So we can learn to get up.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still holding out hope that I will get to talk to the Freedles soon. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve called all the numbers I have for them and even had a couple mutual friends ask them to call me. Now I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say for sure if those friends have done that. But if you know them, tell them to give me a call.

Natural Balance closes its doors I have another big story as well this week. The owners of Natural Balance Medical Spa announced this week that, after five years, the spa closed for good on Saturday. All monthly memberships will be frozen as of April 15. Any prepaid memberships that were not concluded will receive a refund for the unused portion. Others who will require refunds for unused services are asked to speak with Susan Miller at (919) 776-3750 and provide a proof of purchase for any cash refund. If no proof of purchase is available, the staff will need approximately 30 days to validate unsubstantiated refund claims. All remaining retail will be sold for 50 percent off (including Obagi and Glo Minerals products) and avail-

able for purchase at the front desk of The Family Doc. The spa will work diligently to fulfill packages already purchased either at our location or work within the community to transfer services. The only massage Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had was at Natural Balance. I consider owners Holly and Jay Riley (daughter and son-in-law of Dr. Robert Patterson of The Family Doc) very close friends, even thought Jay is the biggest Duke fan I know. I hate that the spa has to close, but I also know that the Rileys have bigger fish to fry. Holly is expecting to give birth to a baby girl any day now. No, really, any day now. She was due Saturday, and as of 3 p.m. she had not made her debut. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure their little boy, Cooper, and the new baby will keep both of them busy for a while. And once Holly gets back to work, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure her next endeavor will be a successful one as well.

How about buying a car here, knowing that you can get it serviced easily by someone you know and trust? Think about buying furniture and having it delivered when you want it. What about talking personally with your insurance agent, not just someone at a toll free number? Small businesses make our community what it is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a hometown familiarity and a sense of place. Lee County has grown to be the 25th largest community in North Carolina (according to the Census Bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest es-

The Sanford Herald / Sunday, May 2, 2010 / 11B timate) because we have a strong base of small businesses as well as a good mix of industrial and manufacturing operations. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re small geographically but because of our central location, we benefit from being an employment and shopping magnet for our region. According to the Census Bureau, over 11,000 people a day come to Lee County to work while just over 6500 drive out of Lee County to their jobs. This positive in-migration each day boosts our per person retail sales to over $13,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nearly 30 percent above the state average. In the past year, de-

spite the fact that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been impacted negatively by the economic downturn and despite the fact that we all are guilty of shopping in other communities once in a while, our local small businesses have hung on to provide their products and services. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten creative in order to preserve jobs and paychecks. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked hard to win our business. Please come out on Thursday evening to celebrate how much small business means to us. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to shop in Lee County first â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see what you want, ask for it. I bet some smart business owner can get it for you.

had to produce and sell a certain number of cars to survive. Some of these decisions are linked to poor management, aggressive unions, and excessive retiree packages that the companies simply could not afford. While the housing industry may be one of the least unionized industries in the country, national builders and their bosses built a model of 15 percent annual growth that was, and is, unsustainable over the long term. That growth was only able to be accomplished by the easing of credit to more people, and the purchasing of smaller

companies, which put more debt on the balance sheet of the bigger companies. So when you see one of our houses priced, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to discount much, if at all. Our house is a good value as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priced, and we can show you what we have done, and what features we have included that distinguishes it from other houses. If you value what we value in a house, you will buy our house. If you value other things more, you should buy that other house. In case some of you have forgotten, Tuesday is an Election Day. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to try to persuade you to my political philosophies, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to tell you for whom you should vote. How-

ever, I hope that you have participated in the process and that you culminate that by voting. If you are not satisfied with an area of government, the best protest is to vote against candidates. If you are satisfied, your vote should reflect that. If you do not vote, it shows that you are indifferent, and that apathy is really why things donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work in government. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in the greatness of the United States and then choose not to participate in the process. For over 40 years, the staff at The Groce Companies has helped consumers in central North Carolina design, build and secure financing to build or buy their homes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The BRAC RTF is working to engage students in the region in ways that will better educate them to successfully compete in a global economy,â&#x20AC;? said Jane Smith, BRAC RTFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program manager for education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Utilizing a Distributed Learning Network throughout the region will connect students with resources that can equip them to do so. Dr. Che brings a knowledge of Chinese culture and language that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students and tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision makers need to understand.â&#x20AC;? Six of the 12 high schools in the network took part in the April 15 videoconference: Southern Lee, Union Pines, Richmond, Lakewood, Scotland and West Bladen. In addition, BRAC RTFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff observed the interactive learning. About 30 students from Honors Civ-

ics, Economics, and World History classes at Southern Lee gathered in Room 309, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Enhanced Technology Classroom, which is equipped to link directly to the network hub for multi-location videoconferencing. The students could not only see and hear Che, but also see and hear students at the other schools as they asked questions ranging from how long the school year is in China to martial arts in Chinese schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great,â&#x20AC;? Moretz said after the videoconference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like she was here. Today, we learned a lot about a new culture.â&#x20AC;? Che was pleasantly surprised when Southern Lee sophomore Daniel Chang began conversing with her in Mandarin Chinese. After chatting for a few minutes, Chang asked what the Chinese government and people are doing about pollution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot,â&#x20AC;? Che responded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(For example), we

are encouraged not to use plastic bags and the supermarkets or grocery stores are not allowed to provide plastic bags for free.â&#x20AC;? Chang, the Americanborn son of Chinese immigrants, said afterward that he has been studying Chinese at a school in Raleigh since he was in kindergarten. He was excited to see that, through the BRAC RTF Distributed Learning Network, students at his school and other schools had the opportunity to learn from a Chinese professor at CCCC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think her presentation was really good,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to know how to speak Chinese and learn about China. More Chinese are coming to America and more Americans are going to China. They can communicate and when Americans go to China, they will know how things work and know their way around.â&#x20AC;? They will also be better prepared to succeed in the global economy.

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY ANNUAL MEETING

Buffett defends Sachs stake OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett said Saturday he has no plans to sell his companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stake in Goldman Sachs Group Inc. as the investment bank fights civil fraud charges. Buffett and Berkshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice chairman Charlie Munger both praised Goldman Saturday before a crowd of about 40,000 at Berkshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shareholder meeting at Omahaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Qwest Center. Both executives said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy with Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfeinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership. And they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t view the Securities and Exchange Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charges against Goldman as a strike against him. Buffett previewed his companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-quarter earnings report at the meeting He said Berkshire rebounded from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-quarter loss and earned $3.6 billion as the

economic recovery began and Berkshire absorbed Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad. The full report will be released Friday. In the first quarter of 2009, Berkshire lost $1.5 billion. The addition of Burlington Northern more than doubled Berkshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regulated businesses unit income to $555 million in the January-March period. The unit also includes utilities, which, along with railroads, operate under government regulations. Buffett said Berkshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterly results show the economy is improving because manufacturing and retail income grew 85 percent to $477 million. Berkshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assortment of businesses, including clothing, insurance, furniture, utility, jewelry and corporate jet companies, gives Buffett insight into the health of the overall economy. Berkshire also has big investments in companies including Coca-Cola Co. and Wells Fargo & Co.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss included $241 million on the sale of investments. Berkshire also took a $1.9 billion charge from writing down a ConocoPhillips investment. Buffett has been one of Goldmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest supporters before and since the SEC filed its civil lawsuit against the bank on April 16. The government charged that the investment bank misled investors about a deal involving complex mortgage-related investments that later plunged in value. During questioning by shareholders, Munger noted that the SEC vote to file the charges was 3 to 2. He said that if he had been a member of the SEC, he would have voted against the suit. Buffett and Munger both expressed confidence in Blankfein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are plenty of CEOs Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see gone in America, and Lloyd Blankfein is not one of them,â&#x20AC;? Munger said.

Invest in Your Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Future Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is almost upon us. This year, in addition to giving Mom some ďŹ&#x201A;owers and a card, why not brighten her day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and her future â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by making a ďŹ nancial gift? Your ďŹ rst thought might be that giving your mother a check may seem â&#x20AC;&#x153;tacky.â&#x20AC;? But these days, everyone can use a little extra cash. However, you can ďŹ nd other types of ďŹ nancial gifts that can have a longer-lasting impact. Here are a few ideas to consider: s (ELP -OM FUND HER )2!

Yet most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully fund their IRAs each year. In 2010, your mother can put in $5,000 to her IRA, or $6,000 if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50 or older. While you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t directly contribute to her IRA, you can write a check for that purpose. s 0URCHASE AN INVESTMENT FOR -OM If you can afford it, consider giving a few shares of stock, possibly issued by companies that make products or services your mother uses.

Yes, Christ is coming again!

Are Christ’s words your commission? “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” Matthew 28:18

ack in the early days of 1988 a young lady called our church with a question she wanted answered. She had read the book titled, “Eightyeight Reasons Christ Will Return in 1988.” Her concern after having read the book was obvious. I told her that the Bible clearly states that no human will ever know — even the angels in heaven do not know — the date of Christ’s return. I explained how this has not kept countless people throughout Christian history from setting a specific date, only to have the day arrive and pass, and it does not happen. I then said to her, “Your real problem is that you aren’t saved, or that you are not certain you are saved, isn’t it?” She answered in the affirmative. I made an appointment for her to come by our church so we could discuss the subject further. After sharing what God’s Word says about how a person can become a Christian, she accepted Christ as her personal Savior. Dr. Charles Swindoll, in “Growing Deep in the Christian Life,” gives some facts on the subject of Christ’s Second Coming that will surprise lots of people:

Vietnamese sister city a hard sell in Fayetteville By KEVIN MAURER Associated Press Writer

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — The mayor of one of America’s most renowned Army cities wants to establish cultural ties to a rural Vietnamese town, a plan that has angered some veterans who served in Southeast Asia generations ago. Some Vietnam vets who still live in the Fort Bragg area are embracing the idea as a chance to lay to rest the ill will that has lingered for more than four decades, though it’s clear animosity toward the war remains. “It is just not over with them and it never was cleanly over,” said retired Col. Bill Richardson, an 80-year-old who said he served 14 months in Vietnam with the Special Forces. “I don’t think we ought to be dealing with them on a city-to-city thing. It just dredges up a lot of bad feelings.” The offer from officials in Soc Trang, in southern Vietnam, to become sister cities with Fayetteville already seems to have

It really is this city and the people who live here willing to put something behind them that in some ways we’ve had trouble shaking,” Fayetteville Mayor Tony Chavonne said. “I don’t think there is a city in America that has a closer bond,

good or bad, with that period of time in our history and that conflict.” Chavonne was born in Fayetteville, a city considered synonymous with Fort Bragg. His family members served in Vietnam and his best friend’s father was killed there. Between 1966 and 1970, more

New diet concept helps both weight loss and detox

uring my childhood days when I visited Grandpa (Puzie Lett) at the country store across the road he would often comment: “Sandy Lynn, you can’t help from being ugly but you could stay at home.” When I talked about becoming a singer, an actress, a writer, an English teacher, and going to college and traveling all over the world, Mama (Ruby Lett) would say: “Sandy Lynn, you are getting above your raisin’!” When I crawled too slowly down tobacco rows pulling weeds and suckers, didn’t pick string beans fast enough, and couldn’t focus long on shelling peas, Daddy (Bud Lett) would shout, “Sandy Lynn, you’ll never amount to anything.” Casual comments from adults brought tears to my eyes but also motivated

s there a way to combine the benefits of detoxification and see the results of weight loss, too? Both programs are usually difficult and often require medical supervision. But as we come into the months of ripened homegrown fruits and vegetables, the solutions may be literally right in front of us. Most detox diets suggest working our way up to the strictest and most important dietary days. They begin by guiding us to eliminate dairy, then reduce grains, then animal meat sources, to eventually reach a fruits and vegetable diet. I say why not just go directly there? Now, before you stop reading this article, saying, “I have to have my steak and potatoes,” read on. This day of whole (not processes or dead) fruit and vegetable selection is a one day a week diet program. Isn’t it better to do one day of high

oday’s verse is commonly called the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. He gave this command to His disciples and to all who would become His followers and He has never rescinded it. His words tell us that we are to GO: this means we cannot stay where we are and expect people to come to us, MAKE DISCIPLES: meaning an effort must be made to share the gospel of Christ and teach and train those who become believers, TO ALL NATIONS: tells us that Christianity is not Western or Eastern but global and that His mandate is not fulfilled until every person on earth has had the chance to accept Christ and receive teaching to help them become disciples of their Lord and Savior. The Great Commission is the primary task of the church but it has been relegated to the back of the line among the priorities of most churches in America. Christ’s command could better be called the Great OMISSION, as Robertson McQuilkin so fitfully put it in his book of the same

name. Most churches take care of their members fairly well and often will look to serve their community, but, if their budget is any indication, they do not see world evangelization as a top priority. Excess money usually goes to building projects, increased salaries and material upgrades. Using it to support missions is simply not seen as an option. Every day before I begin to pray I read a request from missionaries and churches around the world that have great needs and few resources. Schools that have trained men and women to go out and share the gospel with unreached people but they have no funds to support themselves and their families. Evangelists and church planters need

Pulpit Continued from Page 1C

n One out of every 30 verses in the Bible mentions the subject of Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return or the end of time. n Of the 216 chapters in the New Testament, there are well over 300 references to the return of Jesus Christ. n Only 4 of the 27 New Testament books fail to mention Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return. n That means onetwentieth of the entire New Testament is dedicated to the subject of our Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return. n In the Old Testament, such well-known and reliable men of God as Job, Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, and most of the Minor Prophets, fixed at least part of their attention on the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return. n Christ spoke of His return often, especially after He revealed to them that He would die. And He never did so in vague or uncertain terms. n Those who lived on following His teaching, who established the

transportation and Bibles to do their work, but those who are giving enough to help them are few and give little. Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s command rings out in their ears and they are willing to go wherever He leads but they lack the support of their fellow Christians who can pray and have the resources to give. Ask yourself: do I really believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven? That the gospel is able to turn someone from sin to righteousness? Do I really believe that people who die without Christ will spend eternity in torment in hell? If you really believe these things, does your praying and your giving reflect those beliefs? The Bible speaks of the Great Commission; Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last words to His disciples, and the world is waiting for US to obey His command. Are Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words your commission or your omission? churches and wrote the Scriptures in the first century, frequently mentioned His return in their preaching and in their writings. The Second Coming of Christ is taught in the Apostlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England, the Augsburg Confession, and in all the ecumenical creeds of the church. Yes, Christ is coming again. The Lord Himself promised it (John 14:16). The Bible teaches it (Matthew 24:42-44; Matthew 25:31; Mark 8:3538; and I Thessalonians 4:16-17). Christians throughout history have affirmed it. He is coming to judge â&#x20AC;&#x153;the quick (those who will be living on that date) and the dead.â&#x20AC;? If it were today, would you be ready? If not, all you have to do is to bow at Calvaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross, lay your sins down, ask the Savior to forgive you, accept the gift of life He offers, make a right turn and keep straight ahead.

fast, and ending with a snack in the evening, always eating the fruit by itself, and always eating melons separate from other fruits. Herbs such a garlic, cayenne pepper, parsley, and ginger are also helpful in detoxification diets and can add flavor and improve digestion as well. Benefits that this one day of optimal dietary health produces is good food combining (for more efficient digestion), less mucous formation from the dairy and wheat, less pain producing reaction from the animal meat, and better bowel movements from the high fiber food choices. Dietary sugars, additives, and artificial dyes are eliminated, allowing your detoxification system to operate more efficiently. Eating fresh whole foods provides the abundance of vitamins and minerals that a

than 200,000 soldiers went through basic training at the massive Army base, Fort Bragg historian Donna Tabor said. The city became a focal point of the anti-war movement and earned the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fayettenam,â&#x20AC;? though the origin of the moniker â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether it was the high crime rate that coincided with the influx of draftees, or simply the number of troops themselves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; remains in dispute. Either way, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It did become a very simple term that reflected a sense of where our country was at that time,â&#x20AC;? Chavonne said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not that place anymore.â&#x20AC;? Maybe not, but local chapters of the American Legion, 82nd Airborne Division Association and Veterans of Foreign Wars remain opposed to a relationship with a nation where, according to

store-bought supplement product does not. Give that inexpensive vitamin product a rest on this day of this dietary change, since each fruit or vegetable is on its own, a medicine cabinet of health. By eliminating any resource of toxicity, whether it is one day or forever, your deter organ (the liver) immediately begins to improve its efficiency. This one day liver rest is safe and quick. Liver or gallbladder cleanses that promote consuming large amounts of olive oil to help move stones from the gallbladder risk getting them stuck in the ducts; this can be a medical emergency. Detox diets should be gentle and focus on the elimination of dietary toxins as its foundational approach. Chronic conditions that can be helped with this habit includes diabetes, cancer, pain, weight gain, skin eruptions, fatigue, bad breath, constipation, heart disease, and depression.

Many people are choosing to expand their one day of detox to several days. The same whole food, meat and dairy-free selections remain. For those doing this, however, I strongly advise to begin a source of protein in the way of legumes (beans) or protein shakes starting on the second day. Protein shakes can be made with soy milk or almond milk and a fruit can be added. Adding a plant-based essential fatty acid oil, such as flaxseed oil, can benefit weight loss, cholesterol management, and hormone balance. Continuing to build a healthy protein shake, vitamin-enhanced with vitamin D drops or liquid calcium, can replace a heavy hard-to-digest meal with a satisfying alternative. Returning to a diet complete with whole grains, chicken and fish, and dairy-rich foods is important on those days when a more complete choice of food is needed. An example of who

has supported this plan is Marilu Henner, of TV show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taxiâ&#x20AC;? fame. She has designed a Total Health MakeoverÂŠ, in which she supports proper food combining and little to no animal foods such as meat and dairy, a diet ultimately choosing only toxin-free foods and products. The benefits found in returning to the healing power of nature are not hard to attain. Unless we assign a specific Health Day, at least one day a week, in which we focus on what we need to be doing for our long-term health and longevity, that which is right before us may soon be gone again.

the Defense Department, some 58,000 U.S. service members died and more than 1,720 remain missing. Don Talbot, a veterans activist and Vietnam veteran, said the mayor proposed the idea to him during a breakfast meeting a year ago, and Talbot told him he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a communist country. Why do you want to go back to 40 years and say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thank youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to a bygone era in the middle of a current war?â&#x20AC;? Talbot said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a forgotten era and now he wants to bring it all back to heal us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sir, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be healed.â&#x20AC;? Partnerships between cities in the U.S. and Vietnam are common. San Francisco, Seattle, New Haven, Conn., and Newport Beach, Calif., officially have sister cities, according to Sister Cities International. Oakland, Calif., Madison, Wisc., Pittsburgh and Honolulu also have such

relationships, which typically include visits from exchange students and dignitaries. While Newport Beach is just north of the Marinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Camp Pendleton and Honolulu and Seattle boast a strong Navy presence, no city on that list is as closely tied to the armed forces as Fayetteville, which Time magazine dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most pro-military townâ&#x20AC;? in 2008. Since 1993, Fayetteville has been a sister city with Saint-Avold, France, home to a military cemetery with Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest number of American graves from World War II. Chavonne is to visit there next month. Like Saint-Avold, Soc Trang has direct ties to Fayettevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military history. It was the site of an airfield where Fort Bragg units were based. Vietnam vet Chris North remembers visiting the airfield for a few days in 1966 as part of a team that scouted locations for

communications towers. He understands why many veterans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the partnership, saying he struggled with his own hatred of the Viet Cong guerillas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You reach a point where you see peace instead of animosity. But it is difficult to tell someone who has carried all that hate in them that this is going to work and this is going to help,â&#x20AC;? said North, an 80-year-old Fayetteville resident. He also noted that Soc Trangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location in what was then South Vietnam makes a difference today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look upon the people approaching us as a conquered people,â&#x20AC;? North said of the Soc Trang residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They fought on our side.â&#x20AC;? Chavonne said it might be a year before the city council in Fayetteville, which is also considering sister cities relationships in South Korea and India, decides whether to link up with Soc Trang.

won awards. Eventually I received a journalism scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina and focused on a career in writing, marketing, speaking, and publishing. Gradually I proved to my Daddy that I could be good at something beyond the family farm. Sure enough I got too big for my britches! As children we learn scripts about who we are and what we have to offer and if others do not positively support us we develop low self-esteem. Throughout our lives we continue to deal with beliefs that cause us to strive for outer success but may not nurture our inner self. Most of us figure out that we must eat nutritious foods to sustain a healthy body, and likewise we need positive thoughts to maintain a harmonious mind. Through various personal growth strategies and holistic healing modalities like self-awareness, education, creativity, and counseling we can recognize limiting patterns that influence our lives and learn to let them go. As we release distracting dramas that do not serve us we can create empowering thoughts, speak uplifting words, and transform our beliefs so that we can live more peacefully and purposefully. Through the years we sometimes struggle to rewrite our scripts, redefine our relationships, reexamine our careers, and reinvent ourselves. Occasionally the journey feels more like a prison sentence than an exciting adventure. Often life is hard but often life is easy. Life is always interesting. Suffering is not pleasurable, but if acknowledged as a necessary aspect of lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voyage, it can carve out a place in us for allowing more sensitivity and

compassion. Honoring the seasons of growth, cultivating a sense of humor, and adopting an attitude of gratitude can keep us focused on laughing and appreciating the roller coaster ride. Even though my tendency is to wonder why is this happening to me, I have learned to use my current challenges to grow. I must believe that every experience is part of a powerful pilgrimage to help me become a wiser person, a better writer, an inspirational speaker, a loving wife, a caring friend, and considerate family member. Recent changes in my work and my life have brought me to a clear realization about what is really important now and in the coming years. As I rewrite my script and create a different plot I am surrounding myself with loyal family and friends who accept and encourage me. I want to star in my own production, but not as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sandy Lynnâ&#x20AC;? the Misunderstood Child, and not as AlexSandra the Great Promoter, but as my authentic self. Today I choose to be the leading lady in a compelling story about a phoenix emerging from the ashes and living in harmony with people, passion, and purpose.

AlexSandra Lett will autograph copies of her four nostalgia books from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the Sanford Pottery Festival on the stage at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. She is a professional speaker and the author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Timeless Place, Lettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Set a Spell at the Country Store;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Timeless Moons, Seasons of the Fields and Matters of the Heart;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Timeless Recipes and Remedies, Country Cooking, Customs, and Cures;â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming Home to my Country Heart, Timeless Reflections about Work, Family, Health, and Spirit.â&#x20AC;?
