Music legend Maurice Williams honored at small business banquet

SANFORD – There was a skip in Janice Campbell’s step and a giddiness about her as she waited in line for the chance to meet a music legend.

“I feel like I’m 16 again,” said Campbell, next in line for an autograph from Maurice Williams and one of his Zodiacs.

Williams was the guest of honor for Thursday night’s 25th annual Small Business Banquet, hosted by the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce and Central Carolina Community College Small Business Center at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center.

Known for hits like “Stay” and “Little Darlin’,” Williams has been a big name in rock ‘n roll for more than 50 years.

Campbell said she remem-

“I remember in high school, we’d play his records all the time,” she said.

SANFORD — Investigators have arrested a second man in connection with a harrowing home invasion and robbery last fall.

Deputies from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office arrested Joseph Nathaniel Jones, 36, of 551 King Farm Road in Sanford, Wednesday.

Jones is the second man charged following a September burglary in which a pair of masked Jones robbers tied up a Sanford couple, one of them handicapped, and robbed them at gunpoint inside their Lower MonMcGregory cure Road home.

Investigators arrested the first man, 40-year-old Sanford resident Delanta McGregory of 1708 Winslow Drive, several days after the home invasion.

Both men, who are being held in Lee County Jail, are charged with kidnapping, burglary and robbery with a

FAYETTEVILLE

AROUND OUR AREA

DURHAM (MCT) — Planners have changed their mind and now recommend that Durham County rezone land near Jordan Lake for up to 1,300 homes.

In addition to the new homes, Southern Durham Development Inc.’s 751 South would include up to 300,000 square feet of offices and up to 300,000 square feet of commercial space.

A new report from the City/ County Planning Department reverses its recommendation for denial made last month before the rezoning request’s hearing by the Durham Planning Commission.

The commission voted 11-1 to recommend denial when the county Board of Commissioners considers the request May 24.

Most of the objections related to a sensitive natural area partly in the 167-acre site, north of the DurhamChatham county line and between N.C. 751 and New Hope Creek.

Planning Director Steve Medlin said the new recommendation follows proposed changes to protect the state-designated Significant Natural Heritage Area. That area, the New Hope Creek Floodplain Forest and Slopes, contains a swamp forest of hardwood trees more than 100 years old.

The developer’s new commitments include: o Leaving certain portions of the natural area undisturbed. o Replanting part of a proposed school site with native plants, according to state guidelines. o A minimum tree-coverage area of 25.6 percent over the entire site. o Wildlife underpasses where streets cross natural drainage corridors.

Legislative breakfast addresses impact of early education

SANFORD — Sen. Bob Atwater and Rep. Jimmy Love Sr. attended a legislative breakfast hosted by Lee County Partnership for Children Wednesday.

The breakfast, titled “Children Today, Leaders Tomorrow: Early Learning for Future Success,” addressed the importance of investing in early care and education Love and the impact early education has in Lee County.

“As a supporter of early childhood educaAtwater tion, it was inspiring to see the impact early childhood education has on this community; as well as the commitment and dedication Sanford has for its young children,” Love said, joining Atwater and more than 30 community members and LCPFC staff and board members.

The agenda highlighted the More at Four Prekindergarten program, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library literacy project, early care and education programs and family support programs. Board members and parents spoke about the significance and impact these programs have on young children and the Sanford community.

Comments and questions

by Representative Love and Senator Atwater concluded the breakfast.

“Before More at Four, my child was smart but didn’t have the confidence and resources to explore and grow. Now, he loves learning and sharing his knowledge with others.

His favorite subject is math, and he will count in Spanish and English all day long,” said Edith Spinoza, mother of a child currently enrolled in the More at Four program.

Sharpe store to host an afternoon of great music PITTSBORO — About two dozen possible stars of tomorrow will take the stage Saturday in their concert debut at Sharpe Store Music Spring Festival.

Back in February, when Sharpe Store Music began its traditional music program, many of the students had never played an instrument before. This concert will be a showcase of 12 weeks of classes and a lot of practice and patience.

The students will take the recently completed performance stage located behind the store at noon to perform the songs they have learned in class and to receive recognition for their achievement of completing the first session. Following the brief program, the students will share the stage with the band Sourwood Mountain and be able to interact with other bands that will perform.

The Spring Festival is the first for the store which in recent years has only been open on the first and third Saturdays of the month. The first Saturday musicians play gospel music performing many of the old traditional country classical hymns. The third Saturday is a combination of bluegrass and old time country songs where the musicians take turns picking songs from their song list.

The music at Sharpe’s Store begins about 9 a.m.

County to distribute potassium iodide preparedness pills SANFORD — Lee County will distribute potassium iodide tablets to residents located within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone of the Harris Nuclear Power Plant from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

The distribution is part of joint preparedness planning

by Chatham, Harnett, Lee and Wake counties. People should not take “KI pills” unless they are directed to do so. The doses are being distributed to replace those doses residents may currently have on hand that recently expired.

Lee County will offer drive through distribution to people living within the EPZ from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the following locations: o Cape Fear Rural Fire Department: 5713 Buckhorn Road o Deep River Rural Department: 5107 Deep River Road KI is an over-the-counter medication that can protect the thyroid gland if a person is exposed to radioactive iodine released during an emergency at a nuclear power plant. If taken within the appropriate time and at the appropriate dose, KI blocks the thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine and reduces the risk of thyroid cancer.

Individuals who are allergic to iodine should not take KI.

FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — The city of Fayetteville has filed a lawsuit against four prominent lawyers, seeking more than $300,000 owed from a downtown lease.

The complaint, filed Monday, pits the city against the law firm of Mitchell, Brewer, Richardson, Adams, Burge & Boughman PLLC and individual lawyers Ronnie Mitchell, Coy Brewer, Billy Richardson and Chuck Brittain.

Brewer is a former senior resident Superior Court judge. Richardson served two terms in the state House from 1992 to 1996, and Mitchell is a candidate for a Superior Court seat this year. Mitchell has also defended the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office in lawsuits since 1994 and has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Mitchell declined com-

ment because he said he had not yet been served with a copy of the lawsuit.

But he did say that he found the timing of the lawsuit, which was filed the day before primary elections, “extraordinarily suspect.”

Mitchell said the dispute is between the firm and the landlord, The Lundy Group of Raleigh, and not him personally.

The law firm itself no longer exists except on paper, following several exoduses of partners. The city alleges that the four lawyers should be held responsible for the firm’s debt because they were the primary partners at the time the sublease was signed.

The city is seeking $195,768.52 from the lawyers, plus an additional $105,389.62 from Brewer, who guaranteed payment of prior debt the firm owed

the city, according to court documents.

The lawsuit stems from unpaid rent and other fees associated with the sublease of office space in the Festival Park Plaza in downtown Fayetteville.

Under terms of a lease the city has on the building, taxpayers subsidize the building’s cost if rent income falls short.

According to the complaint, the city leased the entire three-story building, which was developed as part of a downtown revitalization plan, and subleased the space to tenants.

In July 2006, the city and the law firm agreed to terms for the entire second floor of the building. The sublease spanned from November 2006 until June 2012 and included monthly rent payments of roughly $20,000 plus a onetime security deposit of the same amount.

Working together on EDC reform a good start Our View Issue: A joint meeting of representatives from the city, county and Bradway boards on the direction of economic development in Lee County

Our stance: The EDC Study committee is a strong attempt at helping our attempts be more productive

Collaboration guided by synergy is always a good thing.

The governments of the City of Sanford, the Town of Broadway and Lee County by necessity collaborate in innumerable ways. This week, elected officials from each of the entities gathered in a new way to address a topic that’s been the subject of each of their respective meetings in recent months: the Lee County Economic Development Corporation.

The EDC Study Committee, formed in part at the urging of County Commission Chairman Richard Hayes after discussions at the county’s board retreat, be-

gan its work Wednesday. Its mission, in part: to study the EDC’s policies and procedures. Among the items on Wednesday’s agenda: to determine a good measurement of effectiveness and accountability and to look at the core values and guiding principles of the EDC. Watching the meeting provided a compelling argument for the respect the elected officials have for each other and for the process. There was no territorialism – no need for it, because better industrial and business recruitment benefits all of us.

There was no finger-pointing, no accusatory remarks. No one

played the blame game. Instead, it was brainstorming with a side of encouragement and optimism.

In fact, one got the sense that the more the group — and others who will become involved — addresses the issue, the better the results will be.

Part of the reason for that is the ad hoc group focused on accountability and creativity. Anyone in business knows both are necessary for growth and success. Accountability is a legitimate matter for discussion because the governing bodies, which represent the funding mechanism for the EDC, want

results. There need to be standards for activity and productivity. And creativity is critical because the situation — a struggling economy, high unemployment, low fiscal confidence and fear — calls for it.

It goes without saying – even though it was stated a few times during the session – that a united effort is required. Although the entities want to know more about how the EDC operates and how it markets the area as a destination for business, there was recognition the EDC can’t do it all alone.

Rolling up their collective sleeves was a good start.

Making a call on a port

R

ALEIGH — North Carolina officials are weighing whether to commit as much as $5 million over the next few years to study whether to move forward with plans to build a new cargo port near Southport.

In these tough budget times, that figure itself seems a pretty huge commitment, one that ought to cause more preliminary review and even some soul searching.

The ball sits in the court of the Perdue administration after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently completed its own “reconnaissance” study. The corps recommended moving forward with the new port after determining that economic benefits could outweigh the costs.

The decision didn’t sit too well with an opposition group called No Port/ Southport. It filed an administrative challenge to the corps’ findings, saying the federal agency failed to follow its own rules in determining an economic benefit.

But it’s unlikely that the ultimate fate of this proposal will be decided by the feds.

State port officials have been pushing the idea of a mega-port for a while, saying it could create thousands of new jobs in the state.

The logic behind the project is that shipping companies are responding to planned improvements in the Panama Canal by building yet bigger cargo container ships. If North Carolina can build a new, modern port capable of handling the ships, it could capture a portion of the new traffic.

The reality — which state transportation and environmental officials need to consider — is that North Carolina is way behind other East Coast ports when it comes to infrastructure.

Catching up won’t involve just gouging out the Cape Fear to even greater depths or bringing in the latest, greatest cargo container cranes. It will mean building new stretches of interstatequality highway and new railroad, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars.

State leaders also need to think long and hard about what this project is really about.

In the 1990s, when state legislators began investing millions in tax dollars in the Global Transpark in Kinston, they did so expecting that manufacturers would arrive to create jobs while taking advantage of the cargo-only airport.

Nearly two decades later, the first significant hiring is finally taking place.

This mega cargo port mainly would be about capturing a larger piece of the import business, most of it from China, not helping to create manufacturing jobs here.

State officials also should carefully consider the effects of the project on existing businesses and facilities.

To date, Progress Energy has been pretty quiet about the plans. Its Brunswick Nuclear Plant would be the new port’s northern neighbor, and an intake channel that draws water to cool the plant is just above the planned location of the port. ...

Clueless on immigration

S

AN DIEGO — Just in time for Cinco de Mayo — or as President Obama mistakenly referred to it at a White House reception last year marking the Mexican holiday, “Cinco de Cuatro” — the chief executive is delivering a clear message to the nation’s embattled Latino community: “You’re on your own, amigos.”

The nicest thing you can say is that Obama is failing to deal with one of the great moral issues of our time: immigration reform. The not-so-nice version is that Obama is subverting the immigration reform cause to get congressional Democrats off the hook in an election year when their prospects are shaky.

Latino Democrats have been telling themselves that the reason Obama broke his campaign promise to work for immigration reform in his first year is because he had a full plate of other issues. They swallowed every disappointment — when the administration kept up the policy of raiding workplaces, when Obama dedicated just 37 words to immigration in his State of the Union address, when it was revealed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses quotas to ratchet up the number of deportations.

In the latest setback, activists are quietly fuming that Obama couldn’t summon a stronger word than “misguided” to describe Arizona’s racial profiling law — something for which The New York Times editorial page also took Obama to task.

Why would this surprise anyone? Obama has a poor record on immigration. As a senator, he joined Democratic leader Harry Reid in trying to kill an immigration reform bill with poison pill amendments — all to please organized labor, which preferred no bill to one with guest workers.

Obama has also been more than willing to play politics with the immigration issue for short-term gain. My theory is that Obama falls into the part of the liberal spectrum that is leery of immigration reform because of concerns that immigrant labor hurts blue-collar workers, especially African-Americans.

Now, a line has been crossed. On Air Force One a few days ago, Obama went from not helping the cause of comprehensive immigration reform to actually hurting it. In a rare visit to the press section of the plane, Obama threw cold water on the prospect of Congress overhauling immigration laws this year — and in doing so, cut the legs out from underneath immigration reform proponents.

Submitting that “there may not be an appetite” to repair the broken immigration system this year, Obama tried to portray Republicans as the problem. Forget that Democrats run the show at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. Obama claimed that he needs Republican votes to pass immigration reform, and, rather than go it alone

Ruben Navarrette Jr. Columnist Ruben Navarrette Jr. is a columnist with The San Diego Union-Tribune

with only Democratic support, he’s willing to wait for GOP lawmakers.

Good luck. Obama knows full well that the Republicans won’t help him cross the street until after November. Besides, where was this insistence on waiting for Republican support when the cause was health care reform? There, the president forged ahead without the GOP. Mr. President, you picked a fine time to go AWOL. The enactment of the Arizona racial profiling law, which subjects Latinos to second-class treatment and harassment, makes it vital that the White House and Congress take on the immigration issue in order to provide illegal immigrants with a federal cloak of protection against abuses in Arizona.

This looks familiar. Numerous historians have noted that John F. Kennedy was no friend to the civil rights movement early in his presidency because he worried it would torpedo his legislative agenda. He even ordered Attorney General Robert Kennedy to try to convince activists to forgo the freedom rides that challenged Jim Crow laws in the South. It wasn’t until May 1963, when television brought into American homes the disturbing images of police dogs and fire hoses being turned on demonstrators in Birmingham, Ala., that Kennedy finally started coming around. On June 11, 1963, the president — in a national address broadcast on radio and television — described civil rights as “a moral issue ... as old as the Scriptures and ... as clear as the American Constitution.”

Better late than never. For a time, Kennedy was, by virtue of his life experience, clueless when it came to the issue of civil rights. Now Obama is making similar mistakes because he is just as clueless about immigration.

Today’s Prayer It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows. (Psalm 127:2) PRAYER: Help us, Father, not to worry about what happens to us, knowing that You are with us in all things. Amen.

I just read an article regarding Governor Perdue’s concern about the growing cost and the increase in the number young people ending up in our prison system.

We don’t need more studies and we don’t need to lighten up on criminal sentences. All we need is to go back 45 years and put God back in our schools and in our homes. Parents need to take their children to church and teach them the Word of God and get them involved in local Youth Groups. What we need is to “Train up a child in the way he should go.”

As parents, we all want the very best for our children and we want them to have it better than we did.

If all parents would take their children to church every time the door is open and get them involved in their church and lead their children by example, I promise you, we will see a change in our young people.

Will it make them perfect? Probably not, after all they’ll still be human but it certainly won’t hurt them.

Try church people. You’ll meet new people, make lasting friendships, have a moral based network of support and you’ll certainly leave the place better than when you went in. There’s a church in almost every community and they have no cover charge to get in.

RE: LETTER: ‘Dairy Bar’ column wasn’t fit for biz news “Do you plan to publish all possible business foreclosures?”

This is not just any business!

This business is part of Sanford History! Fairview Dairy Bar is a staple in the community in Sanford, and I appreciate the article!

I hate that it was bad news, but none the less many Sanford residents will be impacted, and it is most certainly news worth reporting.

I hope this is just a small hiccup on the way to a great revival of the Fairview Dairy Bar! — Thinking-Man

RE: Manager proposes no new taxes, no cuts As far as making any donations to local non-profits, I would support the County matching the donations of the Commissioners dollar-for-dollar, up to a maximum of $50,000.

CHATHAM COUNTY

OBITUARIES

DOT scuttles plan to raise U.S. 64 PITTSBORO (MCT) — Residents in Apex and southern Cary last year railed against a proposal to turn U.S. 64 into an elevated expressway, and the state Department of Transportation dropped that idea Wednesday.

“I believe the public felt that an elevated expressway through their community would be too intrusive and would move the traffic way too fast,” said Dan Thomas, a DOT planning engineer.

DOT planners also backed away from other unpopular ideas as they released a new plan for handling growth and easing traffic jams over the next 30 years on U.S. 64 between Cary and Pittsboro.

The state wants to keep the busy part of U.S. 64 in western Wake from growing into a truly dreadful drive like the clogged Capital Boulevard in northern Wake County.

Much of the worst congestion is around traffic-signal intersections on U.S. 64. Drivers frequently are backed up waiting for others to make left turns,

and cars on side roads face long waits for short green lights.

Part of the state’s plan involves steps to block side-street drivers from crossing or turning left onto U.S. 64. Last year’s version proposed newfangled “superstreet” loops at seven intersections between U.S. 1 in Cary and N.C. 751 in Chatham County, and a few more between N.C. 751 and Pittsboro.

Under that scheme, all side-street drivers would have to turn right onto U.S. 64. To go back the other way, they would make U-turns across the median. Cars traveling in all directions would get more green-light time than they do now, and traffic engineers say even the side-street traffic would move more smoothly.

The new plan drops the superstreet idea at the clogged Laura Duncan Road intersection in Apex.

Parents warned in a noisy public hearing in July that students from nearby Apex High School would be run over by cars when

they tried to walk across the new road.

‘Modern roundabout’ So DOT came up with a new approach for Laura Duncan Road, something not seen before in North Carolina: a “modern roundabout interchange.”

The intersection would be converted to an interchange, with Laura Duncan passing over U.S. 64. Instead of a simple overpass road, Laura Duncan would become a flattened circle -- stretching across the bridge and connecting to the U.S. 64 ramps on both sides.

Drivers exiting from U.S. 64 would make a right turn onto the roundabout as it circled across the bridge. A sidewalk would take pedestrians around the outside of the loop.

Rhonda Riley, an Apex High School PTA vice president, welcomed the proposed changes for Laura Duncan Road.

“There’s only room for improvement for the folks in the cars and the students walking there,” Riley said.

Awards Continued from Page 1A

Central Carolina Community College.

Jim Felton — the director and face of the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center, where Thursday’s even was held — was named Small Business Advocate of the Year, while Chatlee Boat & Marine owners Jeff and Robbie Yow were named Small Business Owners of the Year. The winners were awarded before standing ovations from the crowd of 200-plus.

A teary-eyed Felton accepted his award after an introduction by Central Electric marketing director Nancy Gust, who called him a “champion of small business” as director of the Civic Center.

“I can say with utmost certainty he treated (his job) like it was more than just his job,” Gust said. “He championed with passion, loyalty and determination.”

Gust noted Felton’s achievements over the years – from 22-year

ing his music.

“I’m about as old as he is, and I know all of his songs,” Peakes said. “My aunt owned a juke joint, and we’d dance and drink Pepsi-Cola while listening to Maurice on the jukebox. … I didn’t ever get to see him perform, so this is exciting.”

Both women got their autographs and briefly spoke with Williams, who stuck around for about a half hour after receiving his award Tuesday. In addition to the guest of honor, the chamber honored business entrepreneurs and advocates at the annual event, which

career as an electrical engineer for Carolina Power and Light to his service on the Chamber, Committee of 100, BB&T, United Way, Rotary Club boards and as deacon at First Baptist Church.

“Everything I’ve said really doesn’t paint a clear picture of the dedication with which (Felton) has served our small business community,” Gust said. “He tirelessly works to promote the civic center, the college, our business community … and passionately fosters the entrepreneurial spirit of each and every dreamer who makes an appointment to meet with him.”

Felton will retire at year’s end, which contributed to his emotion during his short acceptance speech.

“I’m without words,” he said. “I thank my staff, and I thank my college. … And congratulations to small business.”

Brothers Jeff and Robbie Yow were introduced by last year’s Small Business winner Sam Sillaman, owner of All Digital Printing in Sanford.

Sillaman said the Yows have managed to succeed – and avoid layoffs – despite the tough economy because of their keen business sense.

“If you want to see an example of real homegrown, up-by-your-bootstraps-success, look no further,” he said. “If you want to see an example of a vibrant local business with a nationwide reputation, look no further than tonight’s winner. If you want to see a company not only hold their head above water in today’s tough economic climate, but actually expand, look no further than our honoree.”

Robbie Yow spoke after the two received their awards, and said the duo owed a lot of their success to God. “In the last couple of years, the business climate has been challenging,” said Yow, also fighting off tears. “The only way I know to find your way in anything is on your knees (praying) … that’s the best place.”

Yow thanked his staff and the chamber for their contributions, and ended

drew more than 230 people this year.

Many of them were there to see Williams.

“No one in my generation — in the 50s or 60s — could have grown up in the South without listening to his music,” Chamber President Bob Joyce said as he introduced Williams. “I had an old transistor radio, and I remember that if I did the antenna just right, I could pick up WABC in New York. And well all loved that R&B, that doowop and what most of us these days call Carolina beach music.”

Before accepting his award, Williams was treated to a video tribute containing recent performances of three of his biggest hits, “Stay,” “May

I” and “Little Darlin.”

After two standing ovations, Williams took the podium. His speech was short but full of “thank you’s.”

“It’s been a great ride,” he said. “And I want to thank all of you so very much. And thank you to (WWGP director Richard Feindel), because without radio, I wouldn’t be standing up here today. Take a look at my royalty checks, and you’ll see it’s radio.”

“Thank you for this wonderful honor,” he ended. “I’ll cherish it.”

8A / Friday, May 7, 2010 / The Sanford Herald U.S. SENATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY RUNOFF

DURHAM

Big blitz brewing for few voters Merck adding

RALEIGH (MCT) — Elaine Marshall and Cal Cunningham on Wednesday began a 48-day dash for the Democratic Senate nomination, amid indications that the runoff will turn into something rougher than the polite debating society that marked the first primary.

Marshall, the secretary of the state, made one last effort to persuade Cunningham to forgo a runoff, saying she thought pressure was building among Democrats for him to leave the field.

“I hope he will put the best interests of the party and the best interests of the people front and foremost rather than his own personal ambitions,” Marshall said in an interview at her campaign headquarters in the warehouse district of downtown Raleigh.

She was too late.

Cunningham filed the papers calling for a runoff early Wednesday morning with the State Board of Elections in Raleigh.

Cunningham, a Lexington lawyer and Iraq war veteran, said that his campaign had gained momentum in recent weeks, and that he could catch Marshall by the June 22 runoff.

“She has been cam-

paigning across North Carolina for over 14 years,” Cunningham said at a campaign appearance in front of the Busy Bee Cafe, where he touted his efforts on behalf of small businesses.

“She was the known quantity in this campaign,” Cunningham said.

“Over two-thirds of voters could not choose her yesterday.”

Cunningham dismissed Marshall’s call for unity, throwing back her own comments she made when she unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for the Senate in 2002.

His campaign provided an article from Congressional Quarterly quoting Marshall saying, “from the party standpoint, to have a candidate where more people have voted against them than for them does not bode for success.”

Marshall led Tuesday’s primary with 36 percent of the vote, short of the 40 percent she needed to clinch the nomination.

Cunningham finished second in the six-person field with 27 percent.

Both candidates and their supporters have contacted Chapel Hill’s Ken Lewis, the third-place finisher. But Lewis said he was not ready to endorse.

“I’ve become very popular,” Lewis quipped.

Marshall, the four-term secretary of the state, benefited from an extensive grass-roots organization and her previous statewide runs. Cunningham, recruited to run by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, was better financed and was the only candidate to have a significant TV presence.

Tuesday’s Democratic primary turnout was 15 percent, the lowest in recent years. It played to Marshall’s grassroots support. Many of those voters were among the most loyal Democratic voters, including older white women. Judging by past runoffs, the turnout for the June 22 runoff was likely to drop as low as 5 percent.

There were 425,709 people who voted in the Democratic Senate primary on Tuesday.

Democratic strategists were guessing the number could drop to 150,000 for the runoff.

Such low turnouts

could help Marshall, who has spent years on the chicken dinner circuit.

“Of the 155,000 people who voted for her, she probably knew every one of those people by name and most of them are likely to vote again,” said Gary Pearce, a veteran Democratic strategist in Raleigh, who is not involved in either campaign.

Pearce said he would have advised Cunningham not to seek a runoff if he had been asked.

“I think it’s a very difficult path to victory,” Pearce said of Cunningham.

Marshall carried 74 counties. Cunningham carried 21, Lewis carried four and Marcus Williams carried one.

Cunningham said he had more room to grow than Marshall, who is already known among Democratic voters. Cunningham said he still believes he would be the stronger candidate against Republican Sen. Richard Burr in the fall.

“The reason we chose this location was the availability of a highly qualified work force, and that’s what we’re finding,” Wagner said.

Merck also stands to receive state and local incentives worth up to $45 million if it meets hiring milestones. The New Jersey company announced plans for the campus on 262 acres in northern Durham in 2004.

Merck’s expanding local operation adds to the Triangle’s reputation as a hub for vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Novartis is building a vaccine plant in Holly Springs, and Pfizer gained a factory in Sanford when it bought Wyeth.

DURHAM (MCT) — Merck & Co. continues to expand its vaccine manufacturing operations in Durham.

In August, the company plans to begin building a 40,000-square-foot testing lab at its massive campus under construction in Treyburn Corporate Park. The lab is expected to open in 2012 and employ 50 to 60 people, plant manager John Wagner said.

That’s in addition to the 275 people now employed at the main vaccine operations, a total that will reach about 400 by the end of the year.

Merck is awaiting approval from the Food and Drug Administration to begin selling vaccines made at its Durham facility and expects to receive word in July. Two more phases of expan-

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Seven people have been hurt in a collision between a North Carolina school bus and a car in Charlotte.

Multiple media outlets report the car and a bus heading to Cochrane Middle School collided around 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

Authorities say the injuries don’t appear to be serious. A Medic spokeswoman says five people on the bus and a mother and baby from the car were taken to Presbyterian Hospital for treatment.

A school district spokeswoman says the bus was carrying 46 students. The students who were not hurt were put on another bus and taken to school.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Veterans Affairs Department is limiting the types of surgeries performed at some of its hospitals following a systemwide review prompted by surgical deaths at its southern Illinois hospital.

Under a new system, the VA has given each hospital a “surgical complexity” level. Because of that, hospitals in at least five states will now only

Former kennel dogs available for adoption GREENSBORO (AP) — The attorney for a North Carolina county says the owner of a kennel being investigated for animal cruelty has given up ownership of her dogs because she hasn’t paid a court-ordered bond.

The News & Record of Greensboro reported dogs that used to live at Rush Kennel now are available at the Guilford County Animal Shelter.

On April 26, a judge ordered Rush Kennel owner Sheila Savage to pay a $50,000 bond to cover the care of dogs held at the shelter since April 7. County attorney Mark Payne says Savage didn’t pay, so the county now owns the animals.

The newspaper says Savage’s attorney didn’t return a call Wednesday.

Savage and Robert Landreth, a caretaker at the kennel, have been charged with 12 counts of animal cruelty, five of which are felonies.

Legislator: Felons shouldn’t run for sheriff

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Four felons who ran for sheriff in North Carolina all lost this week, but a legislator says he’ll still push for a bill to prevent felons from running.

The Winston-Salem Journal reported Thursday that Sen. Stan Bingham said he’ll continue pushing the bill even though the men lost. The Republican proposed his bill in anticipation that Gerald Hege would run for his old job as Davidson County sheriff.

Hege lost to Sheriff David Grice in Tuesday’s GOP primary. Hege had pleaded

guilty to two felony counts that resulted from a sweeping investigation of the sheriff’s office.

Bingham says he’ll push the bill as long as the North Carolina Sheriff’s Association supports it.

The association voted unanimously in March to back the bill.

Former Washington County Sheriff Stanley James also lost.

perform less-complicated surgeries. The hospitals are in Alexandria, La.; Beckley, W.Va.; Fayetteville, N.C.; Danville, Ill.; and Spokane, Wash.

The VA will pick up the tab for patients who have surgeries performed elsewhere.

In a statement Thursday, Dr. Robert Petzel, the VA’s undersecretary of health, said the review was part of VA’s effort to

“meet uncompromising standards of inpatient surgery.”

Inpatient surgeries remain suspended in Marion, Ill., which serves veterans in parts of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky.

They were suspended in 2007, when a surgeon resigned after a patient bled to death following gallbladder surgery.

Investigators found at

least nine deaths between October 2006 and March 2007 resulted from substandard care and another 10 patients died after receiving questionable care that complicated their health.

Last year, the VA performed more than 357,000 inpatient surgeries. Under the new system, about 250 of those surgeries would have been performed outside the VA.

OFFSHORE DRILLING

STATE HEALTH PLAN

Interior canceling East Coast offshore hearings

Insurance nixes spot-checks of smokers

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The U.S. Interior Department said Thursday it is indefinitely suspending the remaining public hearings on the proposed sale of oil and gas leases of Virginia while it focuses on the Gulf oil spill.

Some environmentalists hailed the decision as the death knell for East Coast drilling because of the deadly and destructive spill in the Gulf, but the government said that is not the case.

“This announcement is just concerning the meetings,” said Caryl Fagot, a spokeswoman for the Interior’s Minerals Management Service, which oversees offshore energy leasing.

The announcement sparked a flood of statements from environmental groups pronouncing the Virginia lease sale off. Some

later withdrew their statements and toned them down.

Gov. Bob McDonnell’s energy adviser, Maureen Matsen, said she was hopeful the delay in hearings would not mean a push back in the expected 2012 gas and oil sale 50 miles off the Virginia coast.

“I think it’s a prudent step,” Matsen said of the delayed hearings.

McDonnell has promoted offshore drilling as a possible economic bonanza for Virginia, although he has acknowledged the Gulf spill should be thoroughly investigated to avoid a similar accident off the state’s coast.

Sen. Mark R. Warner, D-Va., said any drilling off Virginia’s coast is seven to 10 years away so a delay in the hearings is not critical to the overall lease sale.

RALEIGH (AP) — Thousands of North Carolina state employees admitted they were smokers and signed up for a higher-priced health coverage under the threat of random testing to see if they were sneaking a butt.

But so many workers opted to admit their vice and stay in the higherpriced plan that administrators doubt they’ll find many cheaters.

Legislators and plan administrators this week dropped plans to test for smokers trying to beat the system.

The State Health Plan covers nearly 670,000 public employees, retirees and their family members.

Starting in July, smokers will receive less generous coverage. Workers could opt for the more-generous coverage if they signed a statement that they don’t smoke or entered a program to help them quit.

Graham prays at Pentagon, says ‘Islam got a pass’

Climate change panel completes 4 years of work

WASHINGTON (AP) — Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted Muslims.

“It looks like Islam has gotten a pass,” he told reporters. “They are able to have their services, but just because I disagree ... I’m excluded.”

In 2001, Graham, the son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, described Islam as evil. More recently, he said he finds Islam offensive and wants Muslims to know that Jesus Christ died for their sins. The Pentagon’s chaplain office called those comments inappropriate and, at the request of the Army, withdrew Graham’s invitation to attend a multi-denominational “National Day of Prayer” service that was held in the Defense Department auditorium.

He came anyway, arriving in the Pentagon parking lot just before 8 a.m. EDT — his party of a half dozen people forming a circle on the sidewalk

Rev. Franklin Graham speaks with reporters after praying in the Pentagon parking lot, Thursday. and praying.

They stood there for about five minutes, heads bowed, as people arriving for work passed by — a man with a briefcase, one on a bike, a woman carrying breakfast pastry in a bag and another man carrying a skateboard.

Then the group walked to the Pentagon’s Sept. 11 memorial roughly a couple of hundred feet away, where media had gathered because it’s one of the few places were cameras are

allowed on the Pentagon property. There, Graham held a news conference that lasted nearly twice as long as the prayer.

Asked why he had come, Graham said it was to pray for the men and women serving at the warfront, including his son, who he said had already been wounded in Iraq and now serves in Afghanistan.

He said he doesn’t believe “all religions are equal” and that there is only “one way to God” — and that is through Jesus.

Asked if he still believes Islam is evil, he said: “I believe the way they treat women is evil, yes I do.”

And, can he understand how some of his comments would be offensive to Muslims? “Oh, I’m sure,” he said. “But I find what they teach and what they preach and what’s on the Internet — I find that to be offensive, too.”

Another moment in the news conference, he said people shouldn’t be offended because it’s simply a disagreement in what people believe.

Graham said many American Christians “feel we are losing our freedoms while people of other faiths are gaining their freedom. It’s a perception, whether it’s right or wrong.”

While Graham spoke outside, some 80 people attended a service inside the Pentagon that included Roman Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Protestant chaplains.

RALEIGH (AP) — A legislative panel wrapping up four years of work says North Carolina state government should create a strategy on how it will adapt to changing weather patterns and climate in response to global warming.

A majority of members attending Thursday’s Legislative Commission on Global Climate Change approved its final report to the full General Assembly that contained the adaptation strategy recommendation.

The report offered seven ideas to the Legislature, including urging agencies to consider how to reduce carbon-based emissions.

The panel also wants shoreline maps drawn so climate-related changes can be monitored.

The panel also agreed climate changes are under way and projected to grow.

It earlier agreed that human activity is a factor in these changes. It also recommended creating two permanent global climate panels.

Groups file lawsuit over school board meeting RALEIGH (AP) — A new lawsuit aims to overturn the decision by North Carolina’s largest school system to end its busing for diversity program, claiming the policy was scrapped at an illegal meeting.

A group of residents filed suit in Wake County Superior Court on Thursday. They’re represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina and other groups.

The lawsuit concerns the March 23 meeting at which Wake’s school board opted for a new assignment policy placing students in schools near their homes.

Plaintiffs say they were unlawfully barred from the packed meeting because it was held in a room too small for the crowd that turned out.

Wake schools spokesman Michael Evans says the lawsuit will be reviewed by the system’s attorneys.

Fetzer critical of Dems on illegal donations RALEIGH (AP) — The head of North Carolina’s Republican Party says Democratic candidates who received contributions connected to a Wilmington businessman should have made sure they weren’t illegal.

GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer said Thursday that Gov. Beverly Perdue and Senate leader Marc Basnight should have kept better tabs sooner on donations linked to Atlantic Packaging and its owner, Rusty Carter.

A judge this week fined Carter and put him on probation for misdemeanor counts of giving $176,000 in illegal campaign contributions to Perdue, Basnight and another senator.

Prosecutors say there’s no evidence Perdue and Basnight were aware the donations were illegal when they were received. But Fetzer says it’s their obligation to ensure donations they take were given lawfully.

Dow has record drop, recovers

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market had one of its most turbulent days in history as the Dow Jones industrials fell to a loss of almost 1,000 points in less than half an hour on fears that Greece’s debt problems could halt the global economic recovery.

The market’s plunge came less than 90 minutes before the end of trading. The Dow’s drop was its largest loss ever during the course of a trading day, but it recovered to a loss of 347 at the close. All the major indexes lost more than 3 percent.

There were reports that the sudden drop was caused by a trader who mistyped an order to sell a large block of stock. The drop in that stock’s price was enough to trigger “sell” orders

Still, the Dow was already down more than 200 points as traders watched protests in the streets of Athens on TV. Protestors raged against austerity measures passed by the Greek parliament. But traders were not comforted by the fact that Greece seemed to be working

towards a resolution of its debt problems.

Instead, they focused on the possibility that other European countries would also run into trouble, and that the damage to their economies could spread to the U.S. The Dow has lost 631 points, or 5.7 percent, in three days amid wor-

ries about Greece. That is its largest three-day percentage drop since March 2009, when the stock market was nearing its bottom following the financial crisis.

“The market is now realizing that Greece is going to go through a depression over the next couple of years,” said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. “Europe is a major trading partner of ours, and this threatens the entire global growth story.”

The stock market has had periodic bouts of anxiety about the European economies during the past few months.

They have intensified over the past week even as Greece appeared to be moving closer to getting a bailout package from some of its neighbors.

ECONOMY

Productivity gains slow, signal job growth WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. companies are running out of ways to increase productivity from leaner workforces, a sign that they may need to step up hiring in the months ahead.

That was the takeaway from reports released Thursday by the Labor Department.

Productivity grew at an annual rate of 3.6 percent in the first quarter, better than economists had expected. But it still declined sharply from growth that exceeded 6 percent for each of the previous

three quarters.

The job market is improving, according to a second Labor report. Applications for unemployment benefits dropped for a third straight week, decreasing by 7,000 to 444,000.

Still, economists predict the April jobless number, which is to be released Friday, will show unemployment stuck at 9.7 percent for a fourth straight month.

The economy has been growing since last summer, though firms have been slow to hire back workers. Many

have opted instead to push their slimmeddown workforces to produce more.

That has translated into a surge in productivity. It grew at annual rates of 7.6 percent, 7.8 percent and 6.3 percent in the second, third and fourth quarters of last year.

Now, economists think companies are nearing the limits of how much they can expand output without hiring more workers.

“Companies ad-

dressed the post-Lehman collapse in the economy with a massive wave of layoffs. With demand now picking up ... they need to hire again,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.

Adding to the picture of an improving economy were reports that major retail chains were busy in April. That confirms previously reports that consumers have been spending more freely, aiding the recovery.

Official: NYC suspect did a dry run day before NEW YORK (AP) — A day before driving an SUV with a rigged homemade bomb into Times Square, a PakistaniAmerican made a test drive into the heart of the city, dropped off a getaway car blocks from his target and took a train home to Connecticut, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

The official’s account of Faisal Shahzad, who took no visitors in the shabby apartment where he hoarded a gun and low-grade fireworks for months, bolsters a growing theory that he prepared a terrorist attack in the United States on his own once he moved back to the U.S. from five months in his native Pakistan, law enforcement officials say.

But while no other suspects have been identified in the U.S., federal authorities are seriously investigating whether foreign groups in Pakistan or elsewhere financed the 30-year-old ex-budget analyst’s failed terrorist plot against New York, two law enforcement officials have told the AP.

Holder: Times suspect is cooperating WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday rejected the notion that reading Times Square bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad his Miranda rights hindered investigators, telling Congress that Shahzad’s cooperation is ongoing and that he has provided useful information.

Holder’s testimony before a Senate appropriations subcommittee marked a sharp change in tone from

the attorney general’s recent appearances on Capitol Hill, where he has faced tough questions about his performance.

With what appears to be a success in the Shahzad case, Holder said that “we will continue to pursue a number of leads as we gather intelligence relating to this attempted attack.”

“Mr. Shahzad is in fact continuing to cooperate with us,” has provided useful information and if convicted, faces a potential life sentence in prison, Holder said.

New look at genome suggests ancient interbreeding

WASHINGTON (AP) — We have met Neanderthal and he is us — at least a little.

The most detailed look yet at the Neanderthal genome helps answer one of the most debated questions in anthropology: Did Neanderthals and modern humans mate?

The answer is yes, there is at least some cave man biology in most of us. Between 1 percent and 4 percent of genes in people from Europe and Asia trace back to Neanderthals.

“They live on, a little bit,” says Svante Paabo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.

Researchers led by Paabo, Richard E. Green of the University of California, Santa Cruz, and David Reich of Harvard Medical School compared the genetic material collected from the bones of three Neanderthals with that from five modern humans.

Their findings, reported in Friday’s edition of the journal Science, show a relationship between Neanderthals and modern people outside Africa, Paabo said.

‘CASH FOR CAULKERS’

BP brings in the ‘big box’ House passes bill

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) — Workers gathered to begin lowering a giant concrete-andsteel box over the blownout oil well at the bottom of the sea Thursday in a risky and untested bid to capture most of the gushing crude and avert a wider environmental disaster.

“We haven’t done this before. It’s very complex and we can’t guarantee it,” BP spokesman David Nicholas warned.

The 100-ton containment vessel is designed to collect as much as 85 percent of the oil spewing into the Gulf and funnel it up to a tanker. It could take several hours to lower it into place by crane, after which a steel pipe will be installed between the top of the box and the tanker. The whole structure could be operating by Sunday.

The technology has been used a few times in shallow waters, but never at such extreme depths — 5,000 feet down, where the water pressure is enough to crush a submarine.

The box — which looks a lot like a peaked, 40-foot-high outhouse, especially on the inside, with

An aerial vew of the northern Chandeleur barrier islands shows sheens of oil reaching land, Thursday in the Gulf of Mexico. its rough timber framing — must be accurately positioned over the well, or it could damage the leaking pipe and make the problem worse.

Other risks include ice clogs in the pipes — a problem that crews will try to prevent by continuously pumping in warm water and methanol — and the danger of explosion when separating the mix of oil, gas and water that is brought to the surface.

“I’m worried about every part, as you can imagine,” said David Clarkson, BP vice president of engineering projects.

If the box works, a second one now being built may be used to deal with a

second, smaller leak from the sea floor.

“Hopefully, it will work better than they expect,” first mate Douglas Peake told The Associated Press aboard the ship that brought the box to the site.

The AP is the only news organization on board the vessel.

The well blew open on April 20 when the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform exploded 50 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers.

The well has been spewing an estimated 200,000 gallons a day in the nation’s biggest oil spill since the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska in 1989.

Oil slicks stretched for

miles off the Louisiana coast, where desperate efforts were under way to skim, corral and set the petroleum ablaze. People in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida watched in despair.

The dropping of the box is just one of many strategies being pursued to stave off a widespread environmental disaster. BP is drilling sideways into the blown-out well in hopes of plugging it from the bottom. Also, oil company engineers are examining whether the leak could be shut off by sealing it from the top instead.

The technique, called a “top kill,” would use a tube to shoot mud and concrete directly into the well’s blowout preventer, BP spokesman Bill Salvin said. The process would take two to three weeks, compared with the two to three months needed to drill a relief well.

On Thursday, oil reached several barrier islands off the Louisiana coast, many of them fragile animal habitats. Several birds were spotted diving into the oily, pinkishbrown water, and dead jellyfish washed up on the uninhabited islands.

aimed at home improvements

WASHINGTON (AP) — Homeowners could collect thousands of dollars in Cash for Caulkers rebates for renovating their homes with better insulation and energy-saving windows and doors under a new economic stimulus bill the House passed Thursday.

The Home Star bill, passed 246-161, would authorize $5.7 billion over two years for a program that supporters — mostly Democrats — said would have the added benefits of invigorating the slumping construction industry and making the earth a little cleaner.

“Home Star is that solid investment that’s going to achieve that hat trick of energy savings for the homeowner, of moving toward a cleaner environment and of creating jobs here at home,” said bill sponsor Peter Welch, D-Vt. Republicans overwhelmingly opposed the bill, and they were able to attach a condition that it would be terminated if Democrats do not come up with a way to pay for it.

The measure has come to be dubbed Cash for Caulkers, a takeoff on the popular 2009 Cash for Clunkers initiative that rewarded people for replacing gas-guzzling vehicles with more fuel-efficient models.

President Barack Obama praised the House action, saying the bill “will help jump-start job growth and demand for new products created right here in America” as well as saving consumers money on energy bills.

The initiative is separate from an energy tax credit of up to $1,500 that was included in last year’s economic stimulus act.

That credit for energy efficiency improvements runs through the end of this year.

Supporters estimate that 3 million households would make use of the new program, saving $9.2 billion in energy costs over a 10-year period.

They said it would create 168,000 jobs, mainly in the recession-hit construction industry.

Film Reviews

Betty White makes a splash, over and over again

By LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer

LOS ANGELES — In 1951, a newspaper hailed Betty White as “TV’s Busiest Gal” in a headline that merits recycling.

Consider her latest itinerary: The actress flew from Los Angeles to Washington to attend the White House Correspondents Association dinner last Saturday; traveled to New York to host this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live,” and will return home to tape the new sitcom “Hot in Cleveland” starting Monday.

Her age — she turned 88 in January — seems as irrelevant to her as it does to the fans and colleagues she continues to beguile, although White modestly downplays her appeal.

“I’ve been around so long — everyone grew up with me. I’m sort of a fixture. I’m not somebody they have to get to know; it’s just old Betty,” she says, interviewed at her home before heading to the East Coast.

It takes all of a moment to be charmed by White. When a visitor says it’s a pleasure to meet her, White’s reply comes with precision timing.

“We’ll soon fix that,” she warns, her bright blue eyes and dimpled

In this publicity image released by NBC, cast member Kristen Wiig, left, and Betty White are shown on the set of “Saturday Night Live,” in New York as they film promotional videos for White’s upcoming appearance on the late night comedy show on Saturday. smile an impish counterpoint.

What’s not to love?

“You can tell that Betty has always had a giggle in her heart,” says Wendie Malick, a star of TV Land’s “Hot in Cleveland,” which debuts June 16 with White as a sassy housekeeper. “You can just tell she’s approached her life with gratitude and joy.”

“She’s so incredibly charming and, no matter what, she just shows up and you like her,” says “SNL” star Bill Hader.

“There’s something very kind of amiable and charming, which can afford her to be very edgy in a way.”

White relishes pushing the limits, whether playing the lustful Sue Ann Nivens on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” or an uber-cougar in a “SNL” promo, in which she denies preying on young men — while a stud obediently dusts furniture in the background.

In lesser hands, the scene would be nothing more than hackneyed mockery of an oldster who is the object of ridicule for daring to be sexual. But White’s adroit bravado goes beyond sex; this woman knows how to live.

Her appearance on the NBC comedy show

resulted from a campaign on Facebook that drew more than a half-million pleas for her to get the gig. That followed her killer Super Bowl ad with Abe Vigoda for Snickers, which followed her lively appearance with Sandra Bullock at the Screen Actors Guild awards at which White received a lifetime achievement honor.

It’s obvious White just can’t stop and smell the residuals.

She teasingly refers to herself as a “roundheeled woman” after giving in to entreaties to appear in nine episodes of “Hot in Cleveland” af-

ter she intended to make only the pilot.

She also is guest-starring on the May 19 finale of ABC’s “The Middle” as a mad librarian and is a welcome visitor on latenight TV shows, especially that of CBS’ Craig Ferguson. (“We don’t dare make eye contact.

The minute we make eye contact, we’re gone,” she says, happily.)

“I’ll retire when they stop asking me,” White says. “I love what I do. I’m grateful for what I do.”

Acting wasn’t the dream of the Illinois native who grew up in Los Angeles.

White aspired to sing opera, changing course only when she realized her voice, while good, wasn’t up to the task.

Instead, she became a TV pioneer in 1949 as cohost of a Los Angeles talk show, learning on the job.

In 1953, White wielded power both in front of and behind the camera as producer and star of the comedy “Life With Elizabeth,” which brought the first of four prime-time Emmy Awards, including trophies for her naive Rose in “The Golden Girls” and for “Happy Homemaker” Sue Ann. “We never thought of gender in those days. If the job was to be done, you did it, whether you were female or male,” White said.

A clear line will be drawn in the sand — or the sandbox, if you will — when it comes to the way people respond to “Babies.” If you’ve never had one or you’re not into them — if the sound of cooing sends chills down your spine and the idea of changing a diaper turns your stomach — then you’re unlikely to be moved by this documentary that follows four babies from around the world, starting with birth and ending with their first steps.

Be warned, the cute factor is high. But if you’re already a mom or dad — or especially a new mother — you’ll be moved nearly to tears by the beauty of the film’s universality, by moments that are so artful and intimate, they’ll make you wonder how it’s possible that any family would let a filmmaker in so close to shoot them. French director Thomas Balmes brings us the daily ins and outs, from mundane moments to milestones, of four infants living disparate lives in Namibia, Tokyo, San Francisco and Mongolia. He does this without narration, without marking the passage of time or even subtitles to clarify what’s being said. It’s a bold storytelling approach: Balmes runs the risk of alienating his audience members, the vast majority of whom won’t be able to understand what’s being said. “Babies” also frequently lacks momentum because there’s no strong narrative drive, just an easy, casual stroll from baby to baby. PG for cultural and maternal nudity throughout. 82 min. Three stars out of four.

The latest from Academy Award-winning documentary director Alex Gibney exposes the clutching, clawing venality of lobbyist-turned-prisonlodger Jack Abramoff and his cronies. It’s infuriating stuff, Abramoff’s arrogance symbolic of the I’m-getting-mineand-then-some recklessness of our times. Through archival footage and interviews with former Abramoff associates, the film presents a detailed account of the man’s rise to supreme Washington influence peddler, living the high life off the millions he charged Indian gaming interests and corporations looking to buy favor with the nation’s leaders. Like any good story, the film has surprises and thrills, laughs and absurdities, heroes and loads of villains.

The story will leave you disturbed and disgusted, though, and a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information Gibney packs in, his exhaustive portrait of Abramoff eventually becoming exhausting. You’ll come away feeling a little smarter but glad that it’s over.

SOLID SEQUEL

Robert Downey Jr. stars as weapons manufacturer Tony Stark/Iron Man in the much anticipated sequel “Iron Man 2”, opening today in theaters.

There are flaws to the follow-up of the surprise mega-hit, but ‘Iron Man 2’ ultimately delivers

By NEIL MORRIS • REEL REVIEWS

I

f “Iron Man” was an embodiment of America’s single-minded crusade to impose worldwide peace at the point of a spear, then Saul-to-Paul, bajillionaire protectorate Tony Stark in “Iron Man 2” is most aptly viewed as a metaphor for the sense of arrogance and entitlement many contend Uncle Sam exudes as remuneration for serving as the globe’s self-anointed post-WWII, post-Cold War, post-New World Order, post-Sept. 11th police.

To wit, like an E!-era Howard Hughes, Stark dons sunglasses and blows dismissive kisses at a Congressional committee bent on bullying him into relinquishing his ferrous-plated super suit.

Their concerns are multi-fold. They worry about so much power resting in the purportedly malevolent hands of one person.

The U.S. wants to exploit the weaponry potential for Stark’s device before its enemies do. Finally, there is the palpable jealously of a government and military industrial complex driven into near-irrelevancy by a single supreme caretaker.

These are heady, provocative issues, even if the notion of escalation in the face of an omnipotent superhero was explored to much greater effect in Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” films.

Problem is they are all brought to bear inside the first 15 minutes of “Iron Man 2.” The remainder of its clunky, 2 hour-plus running time is spent sidewinding through a series bullets, bombs, babes, and disjointed plot points that never coalesce into a cohesive whole.

Escalation begins before the opening credits in the form of tattooed, vodka-swilling Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), a Russian archetype who speaks in 3-word sentences and whose indecipherable axe to grind against the Stark family leads him to construct a literal plasmatic lash he intends to lay to Iron Man. Vanko’s two battle scenes bookend a performance that mostly features him furiously tapping on computer keyboards. More significantly, he is one of two barely realized baddies whose narrative impotence emphasizes “Iron Man 2’s” violation of Rule One for all successful action films: a presence of a compelling, imposing villain.

After being consigned to the clink following his first encounter with Iron Man, Vanko gets sprung by Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell), a rival weapons contractor with aims on developing and outfitting the military with its own high-tech wardrobe.

Rockwell — normally a durable actor — misplays Hammer with an exaggerated cartoonish affect that wears out its welcome after about two scenes.

Add to that mix Stark’s encroaching mortality due to the

slowly increasing radiation poisoning caused by his power-core heart; daddy issues that crop up after Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents deliver a footlocker belonging to Tony’s late father (John Slatterly in flashbacks); and Stark’s growing erratic behavior and heavy drinking that prompts his military buddy, Rhodey (Dan Cheadle, replacing Terrance Howard without the audience batting an eye) to commandeer one of Iron Man’s suits, a precursor to Rhodes’ eventual transformation into the sidekick War Machine. Oh, and don’t forget Scarlett Johansson’s role as shapely eye-candy operating under the guise of Stark’s newest personal assistant, Natalie Rushman.

The worst moment in “Iron Man 2” finds a drunken, costumed Stark romping and rampaging through his own birthday party. It’s a scene worthy of a bad comic book move parody, and it underscores the film’s fundamental problem — its excessive jokiness. “Iron Man” is a popcorn movie that dared to succeed during an era of brooding movie heroism.

Its follow-up suffers not only by comparison but also due to an audience now hip to its hipness.

Make no mistake: the series’ backbone remains Downey’s wiseacre high wire act, particularly the banter between Stark and his Girl Friday, Pepper Potts (an underrated Gwyneth Paltrow). However, “Iron Man’s” levity rested with Downey’s bravura performance and director Jon Favreau’s fanboy sensibilities.

Whereas that screenplay was written by “Children of Men” scribes Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, its sequel is penned by Justin Theroux, a character actor whose lone screenwriting credit is “Tropic Thunder,” an otherwise hilarious film not noted for its complexity or eloquent prose.

As a consequence, rusty puns and witticisms oversaturate plot development and some admittedly stimulating — if ultimately sparse and mindless — CG action sequences.

RAIDERS CUT TIES WITH NO. 1 PICK RUSSELL ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders have released former No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell after three unproductive and highly paid seasons.

Senior executive John Herrera told The Associated Press the move was made Thursday and that “we wish him well.”

The decision comes less than two weeks after Oakland acquired Jason Campbell from Washington to take over at quarterback.

Russell will now likely be considered the biggest draft bust in NFL history. He will have been paid more than $39 million by the Raiders, while producing only seven wins as a starter.

NBA JAMES’ ELBOW PASSES PRACTICE TEST

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Cavaliers star LeBron James says a few day’s rest and treatment has helped his injured right elbow.

James, who has been bothered by a sprain and bone bruise, made it through practice Thursday without feeling any pain. He participated in all contact drills.

James said doctors have told him the injury will likely bother him throughout the postseason and it will only fully heal with rest in the off-season. James said he has only had one MRI on his elbow and that a second planned one is not needed — right now.

MLB HALL OF FAMER PITCHER ROBERTS DIES AT 83 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Robin Roberts, the tireless Hall of Fame pitcher who led the Philadelphia Phillies to the 1950 National League pennant as part of the famed “Whiz Kids,” died Thursday. He was 83.

The right-hander was the most productive pitcher in the National League in the first half of the 1950s, topping the league in wins from 1952 to 1955, innings pitched from ’51 to ’55 and complete games from ’52 to ’56.

He won 286 games and put together six consecutive 20-win seasons.

NBA CELTICS’ AINGE FINED $25K FOR TOWEL TOSS NEW YORK (AP) — Celtics general manager Danny Ainge was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Thursday for tossing a towel to try and distract Cavaliers forward J.J. Hickson as he shot a free throw.

Ainge, who was sitting courtside under the Cavs’ basket, flipped a white towel over his head during the third quarter of Monday night’s playoff game between Boston and Cleveland.

Yellow Jackets JVs in pursuit of perfection

By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — With its junior varsity program looking to wrap up an undefeated season, the future of the Lee County softball program looks very bright.

The JV Yellow Jackets will travel to Fuquay-Varina in the season finale at 4 p.m. today. With a win, the Yellow Jackets will conclude a perfect 16-0 season.

“It’s been amazing coaching this group of girls,” said Yellow Jacket

JV coach Kelly Fields. “It’s been stressful at times because people have been asking me all season long if we’re going to finish unbeaten. A lot of people are behind this team. I wouldn’t trade this group of girls for anything in the world.”

Fields, who is in her third year as coach of the Yellow Jackets, has gone 32-2 in the last two seasons. In 2009, the only school that kept Lee

SANFORD — What’s past will be present again on the hardwood at Grace Christian.

In a series of changes necessitated by the departure of athletic director and boys’ basketball coach Steve Murr on Steve Murr Thursday, Tim Murr will return to the bench from which he guided the Crusaders Tim Murr to four NCCSA state championships and two NACA national titles.

Pratt Chris Pratt, the boys’ head soccer coach, will take over as the school’s athletic director.

Tim Murr stepped down as the basketball coach in 2007 as his younger brother Steve took the job. Tim has never strayed far from the program, however, and says he feels like he will return refreshed and ready to go.

“I am looking forward to being involved more closely on a day-to-day basis with studentathletes,” Tim said. “I have missed that and I know that we have some outstanding young men returning next year. I feel a renewed level of energy and I know that the two seasons away have been a positive thing for me.”

Steve Murr is leaving to pursue opportunities in education administration.

He recently completed his master’s degree and is interviewing for jobs in several areas.

Steve says he enjoyed his three years at Grace Christian.

NORTH CAROLINA BASKETBALL

Wear twins transferring from UNC CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina’s front line just got a little thinner for next season.

Twins Travis and David Wear have decided to transfer after one season, leaving the Tar Heels with only a pair of big men for next year in Tyler Zeller and John Henson.

In a statement from the school, coach Roy Williams said the players’ father called him Wednesday night and

asked for their release — a request he said “came as a complete surprise.”

“I met with both kids in mid-April for our typical endof-year meetings and together we worked on their development plans for next season,” Williams said. “Both David and Travis seemed to be excited about their futures at North Carolina.”

The 6-foot-10 forwards

were key reserves as freshmen. Travis Wear averaged 3.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 32 games. David Wear averaged 2.9 points and 2.2 rebounds in 27 games and missed the final nine games with a torn labrum in his left hip.

They came to North Carolina from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif.

The Wears were part of a deep front line that included

Zeller, Henson, Deon Thompson and Ed Davis. But Thompson is graduating and Davis is entering the NBA draft as a sophomore.

North Carolina will be significantly deeper on the perimeter next season with touted freshmen Harrison Barnes, Reggie Bullock and Kendall Marshall joining returnees Will Graves, Larry Drew II and Dexter Strickland.

in the past, paid the girl $300 for sex in a Holiday Inn, where he was arrested early Thursday, said Christopher St. Lawrence, supervisor of the town of Ramapo.

Ramapo Chief of Police Peter Brower said Taylor was cooperative when police woke him up around 4 a.m. Taylor was arraigned Thursday on charges of third-degree rape and patronizing a prostitute.

“I’m not that important,” Taylor told a scrum of media after being released on $75,000 bail.

His attorney, Arthur Aidala, said Taylor is a

“loving family man” who did not have sex with the teenager.

“My client did not have sex with anybody,” Aidala said. “Lawrence Taylor did not rape anybody.”

Brower would not comment on whether Taylor knew the girl’s age; third-degree rape is a charge levied when the victim is under the age of consent, which is 17 in New York.

“Ignorance is not an excuse to an individual’s age,” Brower said.

Police said the girl was reported missing by her family in March and had been staying with a 36-

year-old parolee, Rasheed Davis, in the Bronx. The two met a few weeks ago at a Bronx bus stop, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said.

“He chats her up. She explains she doesn’t have a place to stay. He provides one,” Browne said.

Davis then forced her to perform sexual favors for others, authorities said.

Early Thursday morning, Davis punched and kicked her, drove her to the hotel against her will and told her she had to have sex with Taylor, police said. When she refused, Davis handed her over to Taylor, who sexually assaulted her, they said. Taylor paid her $300, which she gave to Davis, police said.

THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP

SPORTS BRIEFS Butler’s Hayward staying in draft

Tiger Woods reacts at his shot from the ninth fairway during the first round of The Players Championship golf tournament on Thursday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. AP photo

Low scores abound — even for Woods

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The Players Championship was such a pushover Thursday that more than half the field broke par.

Even Tiger Woods.

With scrutiny higher than after the worst tournament of his career, Woods settled down after a shaky start and didn’t make a bogey until his final hole for a 2-under 70 to join the assault on the TPC Sawgrass.

J.B. Holmes and Robert Allenby led the way at 6-under 66, a stroke ahead of eight players, including Lee Westwood of England and 49-yearold Kenny Perry. In muggy conditions with only a swirling breeze late in the day, 36 players broke 70, the

most for the opening round of this tournament since 1994.

“It was a fun day, one of those rounds where everything was going pretty good,” said Holmes, who played bogey-free and only once came close to making a bogey. “It’s kind of one of those rounds where it’s not easy, but it felt pretty easy.”

Allenby played in the afternoon, when the breeze kicked up, and only had one lapse with a three-putt on the par-3 eighth.

Conditions were perfect for low scoring, and the Stadium Course allows for that with reachable par 5s and a few hole locations in areas that could be attacked.

“Greens were a bit slow out there, definitely quite soft after the rain that we’ve had the last couple of days,” Allenby said. “It definitely made it very accessible, some of those flags. I’m happy with the start, just happy to be amongst it.”

It was a big crowd.

Francesco Molinari of Italy had a chance to join the leaders until he chopped up the par-5 ninth hole for a bogey and joined the large group at 68. Those at 69 included Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh, along with Davis Love III, who showed that even a benign Sawgrass still has some bite.

He was tied for the lead until making bogeys on the last three holes.

FLORENCE, S.C. (AP) — Joey Logano has even bigger plans for Darlington Raceway this year.

The 19-year-old Sprint Cup star didn’t know what to expect at the track called “Too Tough to Tame,” and one known for beating up rookie racers.

Instead, Logano left NASCAR’s oldest superspeedway after leading 19 laps, matching his best-ever Sprint Cup finish and gaining a boost of confidence that carried him to a rookie of the year season.

“I think it did a ton” for the rest of his year, Logano said Thursday. “This was a place we didn’t think we’d do go and we had a shot at winning.”

At the time, the young racer known on the circuit as “Sliced Bread,” was running more like milquetoast.

His No. 20 JGR Toyota had struggled to stay among the top 35 in points as the NASCAR nation wondered if Logano was too young to fill the seat of two-time Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart.

“It was bad,” he said with a smile.

And if there was a place any teenager should struggle to drive, it was Darlington, a 1.366-mile mon-

strosity with misshapen corners, tight straightaways and a history of pummeling even the sport’s most skilled drivers.

“You can’t really pass there,” said Kyle Busch, Logano’s JGR teammate and the 2008 Darlington winner. “It’s so difficult. So, you run your laps until you get to a pit stop and try to get your guys to have a good stop for you so you can

jump a couple of guys.”

Logano prepped for the chaos as best he could, touring the raceway last spring with one of its all-time masters in Cale Yarborough — a five-time winner of the Southern 500.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Butler forward Gordon Hayward tells The Associated Press that he will stay in this year’s NBA draft.

He will make the announcement at a news conference Friday afternoon.

On Thursday, after working out in Indianapolis, Hayward said that he only would have withdrawn if something had gone wrong between his announcement to enter the draft April 14 and Saturday’s deadline to pull out.

Most analysts project the 6-foot-9 forward with pointguard skills to be selected in the top 10 to 20 picks of the draft. If he is, Hayward would become the highest draft pick in school history.

Hayward, the Horizon League player of the year, led the Bulldogs with 15.5 points per game. He led Butler to the national championship game where his half-court shot nearly gave the Bulldogs the win over Duke.

Bengals agree to deal with Jones

LeBron, Howard unanimous All-NBA picks NEW YORK (AP) — LeBron James and Dwight Howard are unanimous choices for the All-NBA Team.

Joining Cleveland’s superstar and Orlando center Howard on the team was Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, who got 199 out of a possible 122 votes from writers and broadcasters throughout North America.

Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City and Dwyane Wade of Miami also were first-team picks.

Carmelo Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash and Deron Williams made up the second team. Tim Duncan, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bogut, Joe Johnson and Brandon Roy were third-team picks.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Adam “Pacman” Jones has agreed to a two-year deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, putting the troubled cornerback on a team with a history of giving players second chances.

Tom Hunter, Jones’ agent, tells The Associated Press the deal will be signed Monday or Tuesday.

Jones worked out for the Bengals for a second time on Tuesday.

Cincinnati was among a handful of teams that showed an interest in Jones, who was released by the Cowboys after the 2008 season and didn’t play last year. Only 26 years old, Jones has seen his career bottom out because of his repeated arrests.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — The top golfer at the University of St. Francis in Illinois says he intentionally botched a shot at a recent tournament to let his friend join him in the NAIA nationals.

Grant Whybark hit his tee shot out of bounds on the first playoff hole at the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference championship last month. He finished with a double bogey while Seth Doran of Olivet Nazarene made par.

The win meant Doran could go to the NAIA tournament along with Whybark, who had qualified earlier along with the rest of his team.

Whybark said Thursday the decision wasn’t a big deal because Doran is a friend who deserved to go. Doran says he’s amused some critics have said they’d be embarrassed to go to the national championship courtesy of a buddy’s gift.

County from finishing unbeaten was Apex, which beat the Yellow Jackets twice.

The last time the Yellow Jackets and Bengals battled one another in Sanford, Lee County got the 7-4 victory. The Yellow Jackets led 7-1 but allowed three runs in the final inning.

“We just work well as a team,” said Fields. “I don’t have to coach much with these girls and that says a lot about them. They do a lot of work outside of the program to be better players, whether it’s through summer ball or fall ball.

They do everything they can to be better players so they can be ready for the varsity level.”

Fields credits players like freshman Nikki Hoover, sophomore Katie Kremer and freshman Heather Clark for their efforts all season long.

“Katie is more of a line drive hitter for us,” said Fields. “She figures out a way to get on base. With Heather, it seems like whenever we need a big hit in a crucial stage of the game, she’s always the one that provides that for us.

She produces some key RBI for us. Nikki has hit two balls out of the park this season and has come through a lot for us.”

scored 20 or more runs this season against three opponents, beating Pinecrest (21-0), Green Hope (23-0) and Holly Springs (21-4).

“All of those programs have pretty good varsity programs,” said Fields.

“So, we feel pretty confident about the future of both the varsity and junior varsity programs here at Lee County with those victories.”

Fields says that all of the success from this year’s squad, however, falls solely on each player on the team.

“The entire team has done its part for us this season,” said Fields. “This entire season has been because of every single player on this team. I don’t think we have a hitter that bats below .200 in our lineup. They’ve all made my job easier. It’s a good group to coach. It’s been a complete team effort all season long.”

Varsity softball coach Miles McCaskill feels optimistic about the future of his program because of the JV team’s success.

“Congratulations to Coach Fields and her group of girls,” said McCaskill. “They’ve got some good, young talent and our future definitely looks bright. If we continue to take the right approach and keep working hard as a unit, the program is going to get better.”

A lack of consistency has hurt the varsity Yellow Jackets all season long while the JV team has hit its stride from the very beginning. McCaskill is

hopeful that with another year of experience with some of his current players and some JV players moving to varsity next season, his program is only going to improve.

“They’ve just come together quicker as a unit,” said McCaskill. “When adversity hits them, they figure out ways to bounce back and keep it from ruining the rest of the game. There’s just one day left and they’ve got to finish, which is something they’ve been able to do all season. They are capable of playing seven complete innings of softball every game. They’ve been very consistent while we’re still trying to find some consistency.”

Fields, who also is an assistant coach on the varsity squad under McCaskill, agrees. As long as she’s at Lee County, she plans on producing quality talent on the JV level that can eventually grow into varsity players.

“Both programs are definitely going to grow from here on out,” said Fields.

“The future here is going to be great for the next three years and I’m excited to be a part of it.”

Right now, though, everything is riding on the Fuquay-Varina game.

“I’m going to leave it all in their hands,” said Fields.

“They know how to win and they know what to do.

We’re just going to leave it all on the field. It’s up to us to do what we’ve been stressing all season long and that’s finish.”

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Salary and benefits are prime topics for interview DEAR ABBY: My co-workers and I would like your opinion on the following question: Is it appropriate to ask about the salary during a job interview? Half of us say, “Yes. When better to ask what the pay will be?” Others say, “No, it’s in poor taste.” What do you think?

— ALL BETS ARE IN DEAR ALL: Of course the subject of salary should be discussed during a job interview. Usually, when an interview is nearing its end, the interviewer will ask, “Do you have any questions?” If the topics of salary and benefits haven’t come up before then, it’s perfectly acceptable to inquire about them.

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Let your heart and sympathetic nature lead the way. This is a great year to pull together ideas and plans with your knowledge and experience in order to get things off the ground. Your hard work this year will lead to bigger and better opportunities. Your success will motivate others to follow suit. Your numbers are 3, 11, 13, 26, 33, 44, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t keep your feelings locked up inside.

Extend your warmth, compassion and affection to someone who can offer you as much in return.

Activities that challenge you physically will build your confidence. Love is on the rise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Mingle, participate and join in and you will discover things about yourself and others that will help you make vital decisions for your future. You do have options, so start making the changes that contribute to a positive, more productive lifestyle.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will face criticism if you aren’t totally honest, upfront and to the point.

Trying to skirt issues or avoid telling someone how you really feel will backfire.

Romance will be enticing but make sure you end one relationship before starting another.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Taking on more than usual may cause apprehension but, in the end, the experience you get and the friendships you begin will be worth your while. The changes heading your way should be embraced with enthusiasm.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be careful how you spend your money. Being overly generous or getting involved in a risky financial scheme will lead to disaster. A solid longterm investment will bring you peace of mind and a safety net for the future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

WORD JUMBLE

o 22): You have far more control over your situation than you realize. It’s important to put your own needs first. A love interest will lead you astray. Get your work out of the way first.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Expect the unexpected, especially when dealing with colleagues and peers. Be the quiet observer and sounding board -- nothing more.

Focus on what you can do to brighten up your surroundings or raise the value of your home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stop worrying about everyone else and do the things you enjoy doing.

Your discipline and determination to make the changes that will improve your life will pay off. You will gain greater insight into an emotional matter.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): The less time spent dealing with personal matters, the better.

Not everyone will like your choices right now but, if you engage in activities that offer a challenge and interaction with new friends, you will get a better perspective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Good fortune is heading your way and opportunities will surface that you will want to be prepared to take advantage of. You can close a deal but do so for the right reason, not because someone else wants you to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be honest about your personal situation. Getting angry will not solve problems. Keep in mind what has happened in the past when you have gotten involved in a joint venture.

Keep your money and your possessions in a safe place to avoid temptation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): So much can happen in a day if you share your ideas and plans. An unusual twist to an old idea will finally get things underway. Love is in the stars and taking part in a new interest will lead to a romantic encounter.

DEAR ABBY: My husband of more than 20 years decided that the grass was greener on the other side, and now I find myself on the dating scene again. I had breast reduction surgery, thinking I would be with my husband for the rest of my life. Now I don’t know how to bring up the subject if I find a man with whom I want to be intimate.

I know a man should love me for who I am on the inside, but I can’t help but feel that the scars I carry on the outside will make him turn and walk away. Not a day goes by that I don’t regret having had the surgery, but there is nothing I can do about that now.

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

When do I tell the guy about my scars? I don’t want this to get in the way of sharing my life with someone.

— SCARRED IN ARIZONA DEAR SCARRED: Many women have had breast reductions -- some for aesthetic reasons, but others because nature blessed them with such an overabundance of tissue that it was creating painful back and shoulder problems. The surgery is neither shocking nor particularly unusual.

The time to discuss it is when you have gotten to know someone well enough that you can talk frankly with him and explain that you feel self-conscious. No gentleman who cares about you will ever walk away. And any man who does, you are well rid of before investing your heart — or anything else — in him. o

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Rick,” and I have been married 20 years. He’s a veteran who is completely disabled. We live in a very secluded area. The nearest town is 60 miles away, and I can’t be gone long because of Rick’s needs.

Abby, I’m lonely. My family lives in another state. Rick said years ago that we would move to where my family members are.

But now he refuses because he doesn’t want to leave his comfort zone.

Some days I am more down than others. Our home is on the market, but we won’t be going far -- just a bit closer to the town where Rick’s family is. When I bring up the subject of missing my relatives, Rick gets angry so I don’t say anything anymore. I long for my family -- and for many other things as well. Could you share your feelings on this, please?

— NOWHERE IN MONTANA DEAR NOWHERE: Gladly.

Because your husband refuses to move to where your family members are, keep your fingers crossed that it won’t be too long before you find a buyer for your current home. Do move closer to his family. At least then you won’t be so isolated. And once you’re closer to his family, THEY can look out for him while you schedule some visits to your family. If you go a couple of times a year, it could make a big difference in your outlook.

South Korean driver earns license on 960th try

Ohio police warn of mysterious pair of peacocks

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean woman who earned a driver’s license after 960 tries is ready to buy a car and get behind the wheel.

Yonhap news agency reported Thursday that 69-year-old Cha Sa-soon passed the driving part of the test last month on her 10th try. South Korea requires a written test first, and Cha took it nearly daily since April 2005 before passing last year.

Yonhap quoted her as saying she wanted to buy a small secondhand car to visit her son and daughter and for her business selling vegetables.

Repeated calls seeking comment from her went unanswered.

FAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Two peacocks strutting their stuff have motorists on alert in one Ohio community. Police in Fairfield Township north of Cincinnati said more than a dozen people have called 911 in the last month to report they spotted the flamboyant birds. Police Chief Richard St. John isn’t sure where they came from, and he’s concerned the unusual sights could startle motorists and pose a traffic hazard.

Peacocks are not native to southwest Ohio. St. John said Wednesday that a local family owns some of the birds but said the prowling peacocks are not theirs.

Attempts at catching them have been unsuccessful.

Candles offer a whiff of White Castle’s burgers COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Fans of White Castle’s oniony hamburgers have a new way to indulge without any calorie guilt: a scented candle infused with the burgers’ aroma.

The Columbus, Ohio-based fast-food chain this week introduced candles that smell like its Slider burgers in a promotion with Autism Speaks. Proceeds from the sale of the $10 candles will benefit the New York-based charity.

The candles resemble a packaged White Castle burger and are being sold at the company’s restaurants and on its website. The wax is encased in a ceramic holder that looks like a Slider’s cardboard sleeve.

SUDOKU

Man accused of smashing van into mobile homes LAFAYETTE, Colo. (AP) — Colorado authorities said they have no idea what led a man to drive his pickup truck into three mobile homes and said a 30-yearold man was acting like a human “pinball machine.” The 30-year-old had two girls in his 1990 Chevy Astro Sunday when police said he rammed the car into units at the Banecks Mobile Home Park in Lafayette, in Denver’s northern suburbs.

The man also hit a chain link fence, a concrete culvert and a parked pickup truck. Police said he appeared to be hitting things deliberately.

The suspect fled police and his wrecked van on foot and attempted to elude police by jumping in a Dumpster.

Your prayers don’t have to be perfect Q: I grew up in a church that always used printed or memorized prayers in its services, and I’m having a hard time learning to pray on my own. I even worry if it’s wrong to try praying in our own words, because we might say something wrong and offend God. Is this a danger? -- Mrs. S.L. A: No, you shouldn’t worry about saying something wrong in your prayers, because God wants us to come to Him in prayer, and He delights in the prayers of His people.

After all, if you are a parent, did you get angry with your children when they first tried to talk? Did you turn your back on them if their words weren’t perfect, or their sentences were childish? No, of course you didn’t. Instead, you encouraged them, and you were thrilled at their first words.

The same is true with God. God loves us, and He yearns for us to come to Him in prayer — even if our prayers aren’t perfect! The Bible says, “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear (or respect) him” (Psalm 103:13). And when we pray, we know that Jesus Christ — who is at the Father’s right hand — is also praying for us, and His prayers are perfect.

How can you learn to pray?

Pray just as if you were talking to a close friend of yours — because you are! Praise Him in your prayers ... confess your sins to Him in prayer ... seek His will in prayer ... and intercede for others in your prayers. The Bible says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (Philippians 4:6).

and ambition on his mind; right now, letting him go is unthinkable. As a mom, you are making a difference each day. You are teaching your young child to be courageous, yet cautious…to smile and have dreams for the future. You encourage him with faith and support…you strengthen him with your presence.

Have you taught your child about his Heavenly Father? One day you and your young one will be apart, but if he knows God, he will never be alone.

Make a difference in a spiritual way…worship as a family. It will give your child the courage he will need to make a difference in the world. One day he will say, “Thanks, Mom!”

TRAVEL BRIEFS

Americans head to world’s fair style event hoping to be wowed

Airlines required to check no-fly list more often

By BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor

SHANGHAI — Stephen Brown has “always been fascinated with the idea of a world’s fair.” Mary Schnack is a businesswoman hoping to make connections in Shanghai.

Brian Greenberg has long dreamed of visiting China.

They’re among thousands of Americans heading to the Shanghai Expo, which opened last weekend for a six-month run. Nearly 200 countries and dozens of corporations are participating, with pavilions and exhibits showcasing culture, tourism, technology and a theme of environmentally sustainable cities.

The Expo has not received a lot of publicity in the U.S. Seventy million visitors are expected to attend in all, but only 3 million to 5 million will be foreigners. Still, Americans who do plan to attend have great expectations and often very personal reasons for going.

Wan Wu, 63, was born in Shanghai and owns a Chinese grocery store in Quincy, Mass. He plans to attend the Expo later this month.

“I am always proud to be a Chinese-American who was born and who grew up in Shanghai,” he said. “This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience I do not want to miss.”

Sam Roth, 17, a high school student from Oakland, Calif., will be attending the Expo in July with a summer camp to “learn about business in China.”

She said she expects the most impressive aspect to be “the scale on which the Chinese do anything. ... That is the wow factor.”

Greenberg, 53, a CPA from Cherry Hill, N.J., said he’s long wanted to go to China, and “what adds to the trip is that the Expo will be there.”

He added that “traditionally a world’s fair is where new technology has been introduced, and that’s my expectation, to see something I’ve never seen before.”

World’s fair snapshot PARIS INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1889 More than 30 million visitors over six months. Produced the Eiffel Tower, perhaps the most famous world’s fair structure ever, according to historian John E. Findling, who wrote the “Encyclopedia of World’s Fairs and Expositions.” One of the few fairs to make a profit.

BUFFALO, N.Y., PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION, 1901 On Sept. 6, during a visit to the fair, President William McKinley was shaking hands in a receiving line at the Temple of Music when a self-avowed “anarchist,” Leon Czolgosz, made his way through security. Standing before the president with a handkerchief hiding a gun, he shot the president twice in the stomach, Findling wrote.

McKinley died eight days later.

NEW YORK WORLD’S FAIR, 1939-40 Gershwin brothers wrote “Dawn of a New Day” in keeping with the theme “Building the World of Tomorrow with the Tools of Today.” Along with GM’s Futurama, a ride through dioramas set in 1960, and AT&T’s groundbreaking voice-synthesizing computer, there was a popular parachute jump from a 262-foot steel structure that was moved in 1941 to Coney Island’s boardwalk. It remains a landmark there today.

Jim Little, 66, a professor of economics at the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis, is one of several faculty members planning to attend the Expo. The school has a joint MBA program with a university in Shanghai.

He said that while this Expo would have fewer “technological marvels” than past world’s fairs, “it will be the biggest and best Expo in history,” with countries participating not just to sell products, but to sell themselves as destinations. “Chinese tourism already has become an important aspect of tourism for many countries,” he said.

Brown, 36, works in marketing in Atlanta for MS&L, a New York-based firm. He said his condo is “laced with old world’s fairs posters and memorabilia.” Although his trip to Shanghai is “completely recreational,” he’s also got a professional interest. “I do consumer marketing and it will be fascinating to see what these different companies and countries put into these installations,” he said.

Schnack, 53, has her own public relations firm in Sedona, Ariz. She wants “to see who’s there at the Expo, who’s exhibiting, what the possibilities are of making connections.”

Spirit CEO says carry-on fees will be disclosed WASHINGTON (AP) — The CEO of the airline that wants to charge passengers as much as $45 for certain carry-on bags says he agrees with federal regulators that the fee needs to be disclosed plainly to consumers when they buy their tickets.

Ben Baldanza of Spirit Airlines says he met Thursday with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, who was critical of the fee when it was announced last month.

Baldanza says he explained that even with the carry-on fee, Spirit’s ticket prices are still lower than most other airlines.

Baldanza described the meeting with LaHood as very cordial.

In remarks to an aviation luncheon, Baldanza said he has also spoken to Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York about the lawmaker’s proposal to impose an excise tax on the fees.

Despite floods, Grand Ole Opry held across town NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The venue is different, the tickets are handwritten and

First bag free on Delta with airline’s AmEx card NEW YORK (AP) — Delta says it will waive the fee on the first checked bag for most customers with Delta SkyMiles credit cards.

The move on Wednesday

by Delta and the card issuer, American Express, could pressure other airlines to waive bag fees for their credit card users, too. The cards are popular with travelers and lucrative for creditcard issuers.

Starting June 1, Delta Air Lines Inc. will waive the fee for up to nine people on the same reservation. The fee to check the first piece of luggage on Delta flights is $25 each way.

The change applies to people who hold business or consumer versions of American Express Gold, Platinum, and Reserve SkyMiles cards.

Ski industry group reports more visits in ’09-’10 LAKEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — A ski industry group’s preliminary report says visits to U.S. ski resorts rose 4.2 percent to 59.7 million last season.

The National Ski Areas Association said Tuesday that preliminary figures show the 2009-10 season was the second-best on record, after 60.5 million visits in the 2007-08 season.

A visit is one person skiing or snowboarding one day.

The figures are based on the Kottke National End of Season Survey and will be updated in July.

Resorts in the northeast had a 2.7 percent decrease.

Visits in all other regions increased by 3.2 to 7.2 percent.

Chinese products abroad, and would also like to help market tourist destinations to Chinese travelers. And she’s curious about the fair’s theme of “Better City, Better Life.”

“How seriously is this being taken by countries around the world? How are they going to present that?” she said.

Irene Natividad, 61, president of a Washington, D.C.-based organization called the Global Summit of Women, is taking an international delegation of 120 women to the Expo in late May, following a meeting in Beijing.

“China is the 21st-century global leader in the world’s economy. I know they will put on a show that will exceed that of others in the same way that they did in the Olympics,” she said.

Natividad added that while “it’s important to see what products are being produced and touted,” the business aspect “doesn’t take away the dream of a world’s fair.”

Michael Berkowitz, 30, and his wife Debbie, 28, of San Francisco, decided to stop in Shanghai to see the Expo as part of a trip around the world. They spent Sunday at the fair, had fun and enjoyed the spectacular architecture of many of the pavilions.

But they said the technology on display — like interactive touchscreens and 3D and 4D movies — didn’t seem all that cutting-edge and was mainly a device for countries to tell stories about their achievements and cultures to the Chinese public.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is requiring airlines to check no-fly lists within two hours of being notified of list updates — a move aimed at preventing known terror suspects from boarding airplanes as the man accused in the Times Square bombing attempt did.

Faisal Shahzad, who prosecutors say tried to blow up an SUV in Times Square on Saturday, was added to the no-fly list Monday only hours before he boarded an Emirates flight bound to Dubai.

When updates are made to the no-fly list, notifications are sent to airlines instructing them to check the updated list. Until now, airlines have been required to check for updated lists every 24 hours. Effective immediately, airlines will have to check the updated list within two hours of being notified of changes, according to a U.S. homeland security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the policy change. The official says airlines could be fined if they don’t comply.

the gear is cobbled together.

But the floodwaters that deluged Nashville couldn’t stop The Grand Ole Opry.

Marty Stuart kicked off Tuesday night’s show, which was moved to the city’s War Memorial Auditorium after 4 to 6 feet of water from weekend storms flooded the Grand Ole Opry House east of downtown.

Stuart, an Opry veteran, says it’s not surprising the show went on: “That’s what we do at the Opry.”

Hundreds of fans waited patiently outside for the show to start, then clapped along as Stuart played an acoustic set.

The historic stage and dressing rooms were flooded at the Opry House. Officials say it’s not clear if the Opry’s archives, museum or collection of instruments survived.
