This day in history: On May 30, 1922, the Lincoln Memorial was dedicated in Washington in a ceremony attended by President Warren G. Harding, Chief Justice William Howard Taft and Robert Todd Lincoln. In 1431, Joan of Arc, condemned as a heretic, was burned at the stake in France. In 1883, 12 people were trampled to death when a rumor that the recently opened Brooklyn Bridge was in imminent danger of collapsing triggered a stampede. In 1911, Indianapolis saw its first longdistance auto race; Ray Harroun was the winner. In 1937, ten people were killed when police fired on steelworkers demonstrating near the Republic Steel plant in South Chicago. In 1943, American forces secured the Aleutian island of Attu from the Japanese during World War II. In 1958, unidentified American service members killed in World War II and the Korean War were interred in the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery.

PITTSBORO MEN SAVE JOGGER

Two arrested for theft of more than $6,000 in goods
SANFORD — Two men were arrested after a law enforcement search of a Shelley Fore Lane residence turned up approximately $6,000 in stolen goods Friday, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said. Officers arrested 20-yearold Charles Creel, of the 63 Shelley Fore Lane residence, and 17-year-old Brandon Stone of Lot 25, Upper Gate Lane in Sanford. The arrests were made during a joint operation by narcotics teams of the Sheriff’s Office and the Sanford Police Department. Law enforcement raided the home Friday after obtaining a search warrant. According to a Lee County Sheriff’s Office release, investigators discovered numerous items reported stolen from Lee, Harnett and Wake counties. Creel is charged with breaking and entering, larceny and possession of stolen goods. Stone is charged with one count of possession of stolen goods. Additional charges are expected from investigators in Harnett and Wake counties as well as Broadway. Both men have prior convictions on larceny charges in Lee County.

It will be hosted by the Town of Cary, Chatham County, North Carolina Department of Transportation, Wake County, North Carolina Horse Council and Triangle Rails-to-Trails Conservancy and will include refreshments, bike decorating and educational booths with information on all elements of the trail. “Based on feedback from the public, trails are a top recreation priority here in our county,” said Tracy Burnett, director of Chatham County Parks and Recreation. “The new segment of the American Tobacco Trail offers an additional recreational amenity that meets a popular need, and we encourage those attending the ceremony to bike or hike to the event in honor of National Trails Day.” The $2.2 million project, funded by a DOT grant, is a 4.67-mile asphalt trail with an adjacent compacted granite screenings trail. Construction for this trail segment began in 2008 with the Town of Cary overseeing construction administration of the project. Cary also will maintain the opened segment for the next five years and plans to develop a future trailhead park with financial assistance from Chatham County. — from staff reports

Hospital will pick up tab for heroes CHAPEL HILL (MTC) — UNC Hospitals expects to pick up the bills for Joey Shelton, the Pittsboro man hit by a car trying to stop a kidnapping in Chapel Hill this month, a spokeswoman said. Meanwhile, a fund at RBC Bank continues to receive donations daily from Boston, Atlanta, Washington, all over North Carolina and even the homeless shelter in Chapel Hill.
“The support has been unbelievable,” said banking center manager Roger Badrock. Shelton, a part-time barber and chauffeur, does not have health insurance. If UNC Health Care pays his tab, the fund could help Shelton with home care, medical supplies and missed work. Last fiscal year UNC provided $266 million in uncompensated care, said

Lee County Schools will face anywhere between a $3.6 and $4.4 million budget shortfall — nearly 10 percent of the district’s total operating costs — in the coming fiscal year, and to offset the decrease in funding, the district will likely cut more teaching positions. Superintendent Jeff Moss explained this, an upcoming hiring freeze and more in a podcast posted to the district’s website this week. The cuts, which are nearly $2 million more than the district expected when the budget process began, are the equivalent of anywhere between 70 and 85 teaching positions, Moss said, or between 4.5 and 5.5 positions per school. While some of those cuts have already
been made and others will be lost through attrition, Moss said the new figures will mean the loss of currently employed teachers. “Think about what that would mean to class size ... or the other things you need to effectively teach the curriculum,” Moss said. “To say that it’s an urgent issue would probably be an understatement.”
WEDNESDAY
State Rep. declines to introduce new occupancy tax State House Rep. Jimmy Love Sr. (D-Lee) declined to introduce a bill Wednesday that would’ve allowed Sanford to enact a 3 percent occupancy tax to pay for a tourism authority in the area after the Sanford City Council failed to offer unanimous support for it. The council voted 4-1 to endorse the bill that may be introduced in the N.C. House giving the city the ability to enact a 3 percent tax on hotel receipts to pay for tourism promotion. Councilman Charles Taylor voted against, while Linwood Mann and Mike Stone were absent from the special called meeting, which took place before the council’s regular law and finance meeting at city hall. Taylor said he voted against the endorsement because it unfairly impacted large companies such as Pfizer, who often bring consultants in to stay at local hotels.
FRIDAY
Lee County jobless rate falls again Lee County’s unemployment continued a dramatic downward trend in April,
falling by a full percentage point for the second-straight month. The N.C. Employment Security Commission reported Friday that 12.3 percent of Lee County’s workforce were unemployed in April, down from 13.3 in March. The report stated that 22,468 of Lee’s 26,000 workers held jobs in April, which saw the lowest unemployment rate since December 2008. Lee County Economic Development Director Bob Heuts said the increase in jobs in Lee County has been steady across all industries. “People are hiring five or 10 people at a time, which is how we went downhill as well,” he said, “Companies are seeing incremental improvement, and (rehiring) won’t be en masse. It’s going to be little-by-little, but we are starting to see our talented workforce going back to work.”

Supporters of local tourism need to regroup, try again
T
he development of a tourism authority for Lee County hit a snag this week, but it doesn’t mean the idea is dead. A bill that would have levied an additional 3 percent occupancy tax on visitors to hotels and motels within the Sanford city limits was designed to be the funding mechanism for a tourism authority. But operating cash for such an entity, which would be charged with promoting and marketing our area to potential visitors, may have to wait or come from elsewhere. Rep. Jimmy Love Sr. who was asked by Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive to file the bill, chose not to this week. You can’t fault Love for his decision. His understanding that
the bill was “controversial” (one reason it wasn’t filed) in the eyes of some in the business community may have been created partially by miscommunication, but a looming House deadline rushing the bill’s drafting and filing didn’t help. The city council didn’t unanimously support it. A special called meeting on Wednesday to formally endorse the occupancy tax resulted in a 4-1 vote in favor of it. Love hoped for unanimous support. By House rules, bills introduced in the short session have to be clear-cut, requiring neither a public hearing by the sponsoring body nor questions about that body’s support of it. Although not a hard and fast rule, Love’s preference is to introduce only bills that are supported unanimously back
home. The one “nay” vote — from Councilman Charles Taylor — was the final blow for it, at least for now. Supporters of tourism need to regroup and ask for the bill to be filed again. The next opportunity to do so comes when the General Assembly convenes its long session in January. The coming months give everyone involved the time and opportunity to draw up the play again in a way that guarantees a touchdown. Increasing the occupancy tax is — to change sports analogies here — a slam dunk. The county’s rate is 3 percent; most cities and counties charge 6 percent, 7 percent or even more. Revenues from occupancy taxes are the mechanism by which tourism authorities are
normally funded. Done right, the financial return on investment of a tourism authority could be substantial for everyone. The need is plainly evident. Sanford has an embarrassment of riches of attractions for a market of this size, but without a coordinated effort to promote them, we lose out to the better-coordinated efforts of other markets. Consider: the Temple Theatre has been languishing near death by starvation (of both operating cash and patrons) for more than two years, using taxpayer-funded bailouts as life support. The Sanford Pottery Festival has prospered, but done so without any goodwill from the City of Sanford, which stubbornly refuses to offer logistics-related help that most cities

To the Editor:
RE: CITY RECONSIDERS TEMPLE, ARTS IN ANNUAL BUDGET Boys and Girls Clubs and LCI are more deserving than the Temple. Run the Temple like a business, not a nonprofit. Besides, here we go again. Why can’t the Temple make it on its own? Nobody has ever answered that. How many stories will we see on the Temple in The Herald portraying them as Sanford’s face and that we must give them money? Let me start counting... while kids are thrown out into the streets instead of being somewhere safe. Seems like a no-brainer to me. But then again, I use common sense. — Sheila Barber Why do city residents pay twice to these groups? I’m all for the Temple, Boys and Girls Clubs and more. My question is why does the county contribute money from the tax base that every citizen who owns property pays? Then the city contributes, and if you live in the city you pay city taxes. Is it not true that city residents are contributing more? Why should city residents pay more? Cutting the tax rate? They propose to lower the tax rate but cut out street repair, the next phase of the street lighting program, freeze all positions, split cost-of-living raises between the salary and hourly employees ... the list goes on and on. How about you keep the penny and continue to make our city a little better as we go. The city was moving in the right direction ... for some reason, Mike Stone wants to cut services and give every household the average amount of $8. That’s if you live in East Sanford. I say that because that is all Mike ever seems to be concerned with. — positivethinker
RE: AREA LEADERS FOCUS ON SANFORD TOURISM Don’t you first have to be a tourist destination, like a Pinehust or an Asheville? While we do have pottery, historic and fine arts attractions, aren’t they more appealing to the day traveler rather than the overnight traveler? Have we considered piggybacking our marketing efforts with Pinehurst or with Chatham County’s wine industry, rather than trying to establish a tourism authority for a non-tourist destination? With many travelers booking through online travel agencies, are we currently collecting all the local hotel taxes? Has anyone checked with the state Department of Revenue? Is it possible they are not being collected, thus shortchanging the local coffers? Mr. Cohen, what do you consider a cheap hotel? Have you priced a room at the Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express or Comfort Suites? Hardly cheap. I dare say travelers would not want to stay at the “really cheap” Sanford hotels. Love assumes he will be re-elected for the long session. Is Love being duplicitous when he says he must first have unanimous consent before introducing a local bill? Who besides Keith Clark requested him to get a local bill passed determining how vacancies on the Board of Commissioners are filled? — TruthSeeker2010

would happily provide. Deep River Sporting Clays’ uniqueness and the quality of its competitions makes it one of the nation’s premier shooting events, but most folks here don’t know where it’s located. And the recent Ole Mill Crank-Up has lasted 30 years only because of the liberal generosity of a few historyminded souls and timely contributions from the state. The momentum generated from what we have to offer, and from entities working on the tourism question (including a “tourism and retiree” recruitment group and a grassroots effort under way at the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce), is too significant to ignore. The timing wasn’t perfect this past week, but before long it’ll be too late.
Jobs, oil and crawling
A
legendary sports columnist, the late Blackie Sherrod, was famous in the Dallas area for “scattershooting” ... or chopping up his weekly column into a bunch of random thoughts. Some weeks, I feel like scattershooting. There’s a lot on my mind this week, but none of it is enough to fill up an entire column of space. Believe me, it’s not as easy as it seems to do so on a weekly basis. So in honor of Blackie, I present my scattershots ... I’ll have a more one-tracked mind next week, I promise.
GRADUATION TIME It was two years ago at this time when I wrote a column offering advice to both college and high school graduates who were about to enter the workforce. At the time, The Herald was in the process of hiring a new reporter, and I remember being completely frustrated with some of the resumes I was receiving. Misspellings (I’m not saying I’m not immune, but I triple check when job hunting), generic cover letters, yawn-inducing resumes ... and some were relying on “snail mail” to apply, putting them far behind those who e-mailed their resumes a good four or five days before the mail got here. Well, we’ve just wrapped up another round of hiring (we’ll have two new reporters in the next two weeks and a new photographer ... a happy occasion for us considering some newspapers are still cutting), and while those who’ll be joining us in June are quality, I was once again mesmerized by some of the applicants I looked over. I won’t name names. I’m not here to embarrass anybody. But Tip No. 1 for any potential applicant should be this — spell your potential future boss’ name correctly. “Liggett” isn’t the most common name in the world, but it’s not tricky either. Yet, I saw about seven different versions of my last name sent to me in cover letters. It’s bad enough these folks were looking to become reporters ... a job where getting the name correct is vital. Maybe I should update my tips for recent grads and include this important information. It’s a shame I’m even considering it. THE OIL SPILL A few weeks back, I interviewed a local oil man who suggested the spill in the Gulf of Mexico shouldn’t discourage drilling off the North Carolina coast. I kept my opinion out of the piece, even though some suggested I interviewed the guy because I personally feel we should “drill, baby, drill.” Well, I really didn’t have an opinion — at least a strong one — on what North Carolina should do until I began seeing the images from Louisiana this week.
Billy Liggett Sanford Herald Editor Contact Billy Liggett by e-mail at bliggett@sanfordherald.com As many of you know, I lived in Louisiana for three years, and my wife is from there. I was there for Katrina and Rita, and I witnessed first hand the beating the state took from those storms. Without a doubt, this oil spill is worse, and I feel for my former home. And I’m angry — angry at BP, angry at our government, angry at Obama and angry at the words “top kill,” which turn out, mean nothing now. So should we drill off the coast of North Carolina? I know these spills are rare, and I know the benefits of domestic oil. But I say leave this coast alone. The rigs are ugly, and the risk — as we can now see — is too much. Label me a “bleeding heart liberal” on this one if you will ... but there’s my opinion. I like my seagulls with white feathers.
NOW IT GETS INTERESTING And finally, I know a lot of people who read this column still refer to me as the “new father” because of the columns I wrote leading up to and just after the birth of my daughter. Hayley is, believe it or not, going to be 8 months old this week, and the milestones are flooding in. One of the biggest milestones happened Thursday. She crawled. It was something she’d hinted at doing for weeks, but for whatever reason, couldn’t quite get the back legs in sync with the arms. But Thursday, she figured it out, and after watching her parents freak out with joy, there was no stopping her. So now it gets interesting. We’re stabilizing shelves and softening hard corners in our living room this weekend, and we’re putting the locks on the kitchen cabinets. Babies were so much fun when they just sat there. Something tells me it’s going to get scary from here on out.
As a 1977 graduate of the radio/ television curriculum, now known as Broadcast Production Technology, it was good to see in The Herald that Central Carolina Community College has raised the radio tower height to almost 200 feet. That was a long time coming, but it has arrived. I remember the days when the FCC had a stranglehold on stations located between 88.1 and 92.1 on the FM band. This was called the “educational section” of FM. You were 10 watts, and tower height was low. This was the case for WDCC, founded by CCCC and Jerry Farmer in 1970. Between 1970 and 1982, WDCC was located at 89.5 FM, and power was 10 watts going in and 35.2 watts coming out. I remember in order to pick up this station, I had to turn my radio upside down in the kitchen window at home in Harnett County. In 1982, power was raised to 3,000 watts, and the frequency changed to 90.5 FM. The FCC had deregulated under President Reagan, and this enabled most if not all FM educational stations to raise power and tower height. The power was raised, but the tower remained at 60 feet for over 28 years. Today, WDCC, as it stood tall in the Jerry Farmer days, still stands tall and now taller in the Billy Freeman days. Keep up the great broadcasting on WDCC, because We are the Department of Community Colleges, which is what WDCC stands for. DR. ANTHONY HARRINGTON CCCC history instructor
City should reconsider budget funds for nonprofits To the Editor:
Regarding the city and county budget items for non-profit organizations, the following is a letter being sent to all members of the Sanford City Council and the Lee County Commissioners. I was very pleased to first read that the city council had decided to eliminate nonprofits from the annual budget. Then, I read that the nonprofits have been reinserted. Why? Do the city council and the county commissioners truly not realize the Pandora’s Box that they will be opening? There are a plethora of deserving nonprofits in Sanford and Lee County. Who is to say which is more deserving? The budget dollars, collected from taxpayers, should be for essential items that support the infrastructure for those taxpayers, not for nonprofit organizations. The United Way was organized decades ago to serve the very purpose of collecting donations from the general population to be dispersed equitably to all qualified organizations. I donate my time and my money to several organizations that hold a special interest for me. Many, many more people do the same thing. If a nonprofit organization is facing a financial shortfall, then that just means the organization needs to get out and work harder to promote the reasons private individuals should contribute time and money to that organization. They should not look to the local, state or federal governments for a bail-out. Before the final vote on this budget, I implore the members of city council to please rethink the position on non-profits one more time. I also implore all people who think that non-profits should not be eligible for tax dollars to please contact the members of the city council and the county commissioners. FAYE CRESS Lee County

hat do you say when your best friend lies dying? That she was brilliant and beautiful and loving and sweet. That she was way too young. That we had this deal, this deal we made years ago, that if anything happened, we would take care of each other. That I didn’t. Oh, I tried. I bought the wig that she would never wear. I chipped in for the nurses that she didn’t live long enough to need my share of. I went every day. I brought soup. I stood in the hallways, dressed in my hospital clothes, black suit and pearls, doing my best to cajole the nurses to come faster. They tried. I tried. So what? Something went very wrong. They diagnosed it too late. It was operable, and then it wasn’t. She hated my anxiety. She didn’t want my magic Rolodex. You can tell no one, she said to me on that day six or seven weeks ago — can you believe that, just weeks ago? — when she was diagnosed. Why? Was it the cruel rules of Hollywood, where her career would be ruined if people thought she was “sick”? Was it the desire to hold on to who she was and not be another cancer case? Does it matter? Two best friends I have lost. Judy and Kath. I love my friends. Over the years, living far from family, my friends have become my family. We did the holidays. Her brisket was better than mine. One year, for breakfast, I invited Katie Couric’s agent, my neighbor. He brought Katie. She judged the bake-off: Kath’s noodle kugel against mine. She won hands down. I’ll make the brisket for Seder next year, she told me, the day after the diagnosis. There will be no next year. No next year in Jerusalem. I know what matters. I know that bad things happen to good people. And, yes, good things happen to bad people. I just don’t know what to do about it. Enjoy life, I tell my daughter. My daughter was the maid of honor at her wedding. Squeeze that lemon for every ounce of juice. But the lemon tastes sour to me. The sadness overwhelms. She deserved better. She deserved an Academy Award. She deserved to live happily ever after. She did not deserve five weeks in the hospital with tubes and ports and drains and, yes, pain. I want to believe. I want to believe that she is finding peace, that God is good, that there is justice. But why does a good person who only loved, who wanted nothing but the best, who celebrated life, why does she end up with tubes everywhere? Why does she have to decide that it is time for the tubes to come out, time to face death? Is she scared? Is she angry? Is there any peace in such a moment? I am on a plane. I went to Washington to celebrate my old boss’s 90th birthday, his retirement from the Supreme Court. A great man. Ninety. Kath is lucid, the text message says, as I get on the plane. She has decided to remove the tubes. She will die now. She will never see 60. Yesterday, I took my son to my most cherished place in Washington — not the Supreme Court or the White House, but the Holocaust Memorial Museum. There they are — the “there but for the grace of God” cousins and aunts and uncles who did not get out, who went to their deaths, young, too, reciting their faith in God, affirming their belief, staring hate and horror straight on. Shema Yisrael. What is the lesson? I do not know. I know that a wonderful woman is dying, a woman who loved and cared and laughed and shared. A woman who did not deserve this. Where is God, Elie Wiesel so famously asked when he arrived at the camps. Katherine Reback King has died. May God bless her and keep her.
Minimum wage cruelty
“M
inimum Wage Cruelty” (4/14/10) was my column about the unemployment effects of Congress’ 2007 minimum wage increase on the canning industry in American Samoa, a U.S. territory in the far Pacific Ocean. The 2007 legislation mandated 50 cents annual increases in Samoan minimum wages until it reached the U.S. mainland’s hourly minimum of $7.25. In response, Chicken of the Sea International moved its operation from Samoa to a highly automated cannery plant in Lyons, Ga. That resulted in roughly 2,000 jobs lost in Samoa and a gain of 200 jobs in Georgia. Prior to minimum wage increases, Samoan wages were about $3.25 an hour. With the legislated increases, Samoa’s minimum wage is $5.25. So the question is: Which is preferable for the Samoan worker — being employed at $3.25 an hour or being unemployed at $5.25? Which buys more of life’s essentials? The Samoa News (April 10, 2010) reported that American Samoa’s Gov. Togiola Tulafono warned Congress more than once that American Samoa is “destined for very serious economic difficulties” if nothing is done to change provisions of federal law which mandate annual minimum wage increases. On May 14th, the governor’s warnings bore distasteful fruit. StarKist, the island’s remaining cannery, announced that between 600 and 800 people will be laid off over the next six months, reducing the company’s Samoan workforce from a high of more than 3,000 in 2008 to less than 1,200 workers. StarKist CEO Don Binotto said it’s difficult to compete when Samoan workers’ wages are nearly 10 times those of its competitors in Thailand and other countries. Labor unions are the major supporters of increases in the minimum wage. Even though the overwhelming majority of their members earn multiples of the minimum wage, they spend millions upon millions lobbying for minimum wage increases. They do it because higher minimum wages protect their members from competition with low-skill, low-wage workers. Most other minimum wage supporters are decent people with a concern for low-wage workers, but their actions suffer from a misguided vision of how the world operates. If it is one’s vision that an employer must have a fixed number of workers to

do a particular job, it makes sense to help workers by mandating higher wages. The same number of workers will be hired earning higher wages and the only difference is that employers will earn lower profits. Other people with the same desire to help low-wage workers will argue against minimum wage increases because they have a more realistic vision of how the world operates. They recognize that there is not a fixed number of workers necessary to get a particular job done. The employer can substitute capital for labor — automate. If employers do hire the same number of workers with higher wages and try to shift the higher cost on to the product price, consumers can purchase substitute goods, including goods from foreign producers. Finally, employers can relocate to cheaper-wage countries. These and other responses to higher wages reduce employment. Poor people are not poor because of low wages. For the most part, they’re poor because of low productivity, and wages are connected to productivity. Congress can easily mandate higher wages, but they cannot mandate higher worker productivity or that employers hire a particular worker in the first place. The late Sen. Ted Kennedy, echoing the vision of many, said in his support of higher minimum wages, “I believe that anyone who works 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, should not live in poverty in the richest country in the world.” It’s breathtakingly stupid to think of minimum wages as an anti-poverty tool. If it were, poverty in places such as Haiti, Ethiopia and Bangladesh could be instantly eliminated simply by proposing that these country’s legislators mandate a higher minimum wage. I’m wondering whether the Obama administration has proposed a $7.25 minimum wage as part of the cure to Haiti’s poverty.

n closing the deal on health care reform, Democratic leaders assured wavering legislators that the plan would grow more popular with time as its benefits became clear. “We have to pass the bill,” argued House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, so that the public “can find out what is in it.” Presidential adviser David Axelrod predicted that Republicans would pay a political price for their opposition. “Let’s have that fight,” he said. “Make my day.” Consistent with this belief, the administration recently has been rolling out attractive elements of the law, including coverage for dependents up to age 26. But after a brief bump, support for Democratic health reform has declined. According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 63 percent of voters support repeal of the law, the highest level since passage. A Kaiser Family Foundation health tracking poll shows erosion in the intensity of support. Last month, 23 percent of Americans held “very favorable” views of the law. This month, that figure is 14 percent, with most of the falloff coming among Democrats (Republicans and independents already being skeptical). On the theory that the distribution of lollipops usually doesn’t provoke riots of resentment, opposition to the health entitlement requires explanation. One cause is simply economic. At a time when Americans are focused on recovery and job creation — and how deficits and debt may eventually undermine both — the economic case for Democratic health reform has been weak, contrived, even deceptive. Recent events in Congress make the point. Two months after passing a law that supporters claimed would reduce federal deficits, largely through Medicare cuts, the House is moving toward a temporary “doctor fix” that would add tens of billions in Medicare costs. Even more expensive fixes are likely in the future. Congressional leaders knew this spending would be necessary when they passed health reform in March. Yet they didn’t include this liability in the law, in order to hide the overall cost of the entitlement. ... The economic arguments for reform — that it would reduce the deficit and health inflation — were questionable from the beginning. Now they have been revealed as absurd. There is a social justice case for expanding health coverage. But Americans have not found it credible that the creation of a massive new entitlement will somehow help the economy. There is, however, a deeper explanation for public skepticism about health reform. Since the New Deal, Democrats have viewed times of economic crisis as opportunities for government expansion. In the current case, government itself was implicated in the crisis. According to a poll by the Pew Research Center, public satisfaction with government plunged just as the financial collapse took place. Twenty-two percent of Americans report that they trust government all or most of the time — among the lowest levels in 50 years. One and a half years after a financial meltdown that some supposed would be a crisis for capitalism itself, 58 percent of Americans agree that “the government has gone too far in regulating business and interfering with the free enterprise system.” ... In this ideological environment, the administration’s emphasis on publicizing the desirable details of the health law is beside the point. Americans are troubled with health reform, not because they lack knowledge of its provisions, but because they are uncomfortable with social democracy. When entitlements began in America, they were mainly focused on the elderly ... and the poor and disabled ... Benefits for the middle class were largely given through tax deductions for mortgage interest and the purchase of health coverage by businesses. America eventually retreated from some entitlement commitments to the poor because they involved a moral hazard — discouraging work and responsibility. Entitlements for the elderly have remained a strong, national consensus. But the idea of a middle-class entitlement to health care, achieved through an individual mandate, subsidies and aggressive insurance regulation, seems to change the nature of American society. Entitlements in the Obama era are no longer a decent provision for the vulnerable; they are intended for citizens at every stage of life.

ticket home. The e-mail was enough to encourage at least two of Brookshire’s friends to wire a few thousand dollars. Only ... Brookshire wasn’t in London last week. She was never held at gunpoint, and she certainly wasn’t in need of a few thousand dollars. She was robbed, however — but as a victim of e-mail abuse. Somebody hacked into her Yahoo account, changed her password and e-mailed everybody in her contacts list — more than 200 people — with the story of her London nightmare. E-mail theft is nothing new as hackers have been learning ways to steal identities online ever since e-mail became mainstream. But these days, they’re getting better at it, attacking social networking sites and finding more believable scams like the one Brookshire’s friends were introduced to. According to the FBI and U.S. Secret Service, millions of dollars are lost annually through various kinds of e-mail scams and online fraud. The most common are the Nigerian bank scams, e-mails claiming false lottery winnings and pyramid schemes. Brookshire first learned of her “trip to London” Wednesday night when she received a phone call from a cousin whom she said “had never called me before in his entire life.” “He told me about the e-mail, and at first I wasn’t too alarmed, because I’d
E-MAIL PROTECTION TIPS ❏ Change your password often. The quick act of changing your password can ensure your e-mail remains private. In addition, passwords that use both letters and numbers are harder to break. ❏ Don’t share your password. Most e-mail administrators will not ask for your password. Do not be duped by malicious e-mails asking you for your password. This is a well-known, although not-too-common trick designed to fool you into sharing your password. As a rule, never share it with anyone. ❏ Never open attachments from unknown sources. They may contain what are known as “letterbombs” or “viruses,” which can damage your PC. ❏ Always remember to sign out when you are done. It’s quick, easy and may save your account from unwanted trespassers. If you are using a public terminal, at an internet cafe for example, it is advised that you close the browser you were using when you are ready to end your Internet session. ❏ Don’t reply to unsolicited messages (“spam”) mail, or other harassing or offensive mail. By responding, you only confirm that you are a person with an active e-mail address who can be plagued with constant unwanted e-mail solicitations. Instead, forward the unsolicited message to the customer service department of the source’s e-mail (usually of a form similar to abuse@[implicateddomain].com). To help control spam, BelizeMail provides members with “filters” for incoming mail. ❏ Make sure that you are using the most up-to-date Internet software (e.g. browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator). More recent versions often offer enhanced security protection. ❏ Always use a secure network. Most corporate networks and Internet service providers are protected by administrators who watch for potential security problems and act to protect users from “hackers” (malicious users) who may try to steal personal information that is transferred through the network. ❏ Use common sense when you’re on the Internet and maintain a healthy dose of skepticism. Use caution when revealing personal information, such as your physical address, to anyone you meet in cyberspace; even if they claim to be someone of authority. — Source: emailsafety.net
received a similar e-mail from other friends in the past,” Brookshire said. “One friend was able to get into her Hotmail account and change her password, but when I tried, I found out my password was changed, and I was locked out.” Soon, the calls started flooding in, she said. Brookshire soon changed her voicemail message to inform people the e-mail
was a scam, she began e-mailing those whose addresses she could remember, and she used her Facebook page to inform friends she was safe and sound in Sanford. Four days after the initial e-mail was sent, she’s still working to get things straight. “Well, I’ve got a terrible headache, and I’ve received two calls about this (in the last

10 minutes),” she said Friday. “I’ve spent the day handing these out to local businesses today,” she added, showing a white flyer that read “I’m not in London,” plus additional information about the scam. “It’s been a tough few days.” The FBI website, fbi. gov/cyberinvest/escams. htm runs an updated list of online scams it comes across. While the “I’m stuck in London” scam hasn’t appeared on the site yet, others have written about it on various blogs, which can be accessed by searching for “I’m stuck in London scam” on search sites like Google or Yahoo. Brookshire said at several friends discovered the scam before trying to help, but at least two sent money thinking they were helping. Both did it by wiring the money, and once the scam was revealed to them, both were able to get their money back, Brookshire said. “I think (the scammers) pick people who travel a lot to make their story more believable,” Brookshire said. “The friend of mine who had this happen to her before me had traveled to China and had children who live in D.C. and Florida. And this year has been busy for me, as I’ve traveled a lot, and I’m ready to go on a trip to Egypt.” Brookshire is hopeful the worst is behind her, and she’s already begun rebuilding her contacts list with a new e-mail address on Windstream. She may never discover who hijacked her e-mail or how they got her password, but she said she will be more careful with her Internet usage in the future. According to a report on consumerfraudreporting.org, 66 percent of email scams occur in the United States. Adults beteween the agest of 30 and 49 make up more than half of those who fall victim to the scams.

would eventually earn him the Silver Star medal, one of the military’s most prestigious awards for heroism in the line of duty. “That day was a little out of the ordinary,” Woolley said. It was November 2009. Woolley, an army chief warrant officer, had been in volatile Afghanistan for more than six months on his latest stint. He was piloting a Chinook in northwest Afghanistan in a remote province called Badghis. Special forces units were searching for a pair of missing Americans believed to have drowned in an area river when the special forces troops began taking heavy fire. The units suffered five casualties and needed to be airlifted to safety. “My boss got on the radio and said, ‘If you can help them, help them. Use your best judgment,’” Woolley said. Woolley was the only pilot in range to help the five wounded soldiers, and it was unorthodox to conduct such a rescue mission in broad daylight. Still, Woolley guided his craft to their location and settled down near the shelter the units had holed up in. His aircraft avoided major fire until shortly after he touched down and soldiers formed a permiter around his troops. That’s when a rocketpropelled grenade, commonly called a RPG, plowed through the nose of the Chinook between Woolley and his copilot, struck the roof of the chopper and landed unexploded in the cargo area of the craft. Heavy fire sounded all around Woolley’s helicopter, and that’s when he earned his medal. “They said, ‘Let’s get out of here,’” Woolley said. “And I told them, ‘No, we’re going to stay and get

the guys.’” Stay they did, and after the five wounded soldiers were loaded onboard, Woolley made a hasty escape back to a nearby Army camp. All five wounded soldiers would survive the attack. The RPG shell was found undetonated near the Chinook’s gas tank. Remarkably, it never exploded thanks to a built-in safety device on the rocket that prevents it from exploding when fired from close range. The safety device is meant to protect the shooter, but it likely saved Woolley’s life and the lives of his crew. “It would have been ugly,” Woolley said. Believe it or not, Woolley wasn’t done. He learned later that evening that Afghani special forces troops working with the Americans had been ambushed and 19 soldiers had been killed. Woolley, along with another pilot, flew their choppers back into harm’s way and retrieved the bodies. Like he said, it wasn’t an ordinary day. Woolley is back in Sanford now. He returned in March after nearly a year in Afghanistan. Woolley is stationed at nearby Fort Bragg in the Army’s 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade. For his actions, Woolley was presented the Silver Star two months ago by U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. A career soldier, Woolley expects to be transferred from Fort Bragg in the coming year. But Woolley can’t forget those tumultuous days overseas, his lost friends and his numerous brushes with death. He admits he gets a little “shakey” when he thinks about the close calls and that RPG that never went off, but he always manages to collect himself. “I’ve kind of come to terms with it not being my time,” he said.

Health insurance company tests outsourcing
RALEIGH (AP) — A plan by a North Carolina health insurance company to test outsourcing some of its data management work is drawing criticism from people who say the company shouldn’t be sending jobs overseas, a newspaper reported Saturday. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, looking for ways to cut costs, has started a pilot project with Bostonbased information tech-
nology company Keane to analyze data from the insurer’s electronic repository. The analysis would be used to upgrade the company’s 10-year-old information system, which could save money. Blue Cross spokesman Lew Borman said some of the work likely will be handled at a Keane facility in India. “It does not affect any current jobs,” Borman said. “But I can’t speak to down the road.” Sending work previously done in the U.S. to
other countries to save money is nothing new. But one business expert says there is a backlash from consumers and others when it happens for the first time. “The whole notion of sending jobs offshore is a political hot potato,” said Jim Johnson, a professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. “Most companies try to keep it under the radar.” The savings can be marked.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — North Carolina’s secretary of transportation apparently supports Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell’s proposal to put tolls on Interstate 95. McDonnell says he would like to put a toll at the Virginia-North Carolina border. He says it would be a way of raising between $30 million to $60 million a year for repairs on the major northsouth highway. The Richmond Times Dispatch reported Saturday that North Carolina Transportation Secretary Eugene A. Conti Jr. supports the effort. In a letter to the Federal Highway Administration, Conti says the Virginia tolls would be a help toward coordinating plans for I-95 in his state. Conti says North Carolina could impose tolls on I-95 by 2012. McDonnell’s proposal has to be approved by the Federal Highway Administration.

annual salary for an information technology worker in India is about $20,000 compared with an average of $80,000 in the U.S. But such a move doesn’t sit well with local workers’ organizations. “It’s shocking they would export jobs when the Research Triangle area has all the manpower and expertise to accomplish the task,” said Dana Cope, executive director of the State Employees Association of North Carolina. “Blue Cross is sitting on
billions in reserves and paying millions to its top executives. I would prefer that they use some of that money to hire some IT workers in North Carolina.” Cope has criticized the company for how much it makes administering the health plan for North Carolina state workers. He said since the company is supported partly by taxpayer dollars, it should not be allowed to send jobs elsewhere. Blue Cross employs about 4,600 people, mostly in the Research
Triangle area around Raleigh. Borman said the company will review the Keane project this summer before deciding whether to extend it. For now, he said the outsourcing will allow the current information technology work force to concentrate on other issues. “It’s a department that has a lot of work to do,” Borman said. “This piece of data work wasn’t being attended to.”

And it would be an unprecedented change for a university system that has long prided itself on its accessibility. “Limiting access goes against everything we try to do within our university,” said Hannah Gage, chairwoman of the UNC system’s Board of Governors. “It looks like a big step backwards.” — Raleigh News & Observer

RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina trooper is trying to get his job back after he says he was fired for killing a neighborhood cat. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Saturday that 39-year-old Shawn Houston of Granite Falls was charged in October with cruelty to animals and injury to real property. He was fired in January and appealed earlier this month saying he was treated unfairly. Houston says in a court filing that he had noticed something climbing on vehicles parked at his home and was concerned about the safety of his three young sons. He baited a trap and caught a small domestic cat. In court documents, Houston said he shot the animal when it scratched him. The 5-month-old kitten named Rowdy belonged to Houston’s neighbor who pressed charges.

BP’s ‘top kill’ effort fails to plug leak
ROBERT, La. (AP) — BP admitted defeat Saturday in its attempt to plug the Gulf of Mexico oil leak by pumping mud into a busted well, but said it’s readying yet another approach to fight the spill after a series of failures. BP PLC Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said the company determined the “top kill” had failed after it spent three days pumping heavy drilling mud into the crippled well 5,000 feet underwater. More than 1.2 million gallons of mud was used, but most of it escaped out of the damaged riser. In the six weeks since the spill began, the company has failed in each attempt to stop the gusher, as estimates of how much is leaking grow more dire. It’s the worst spill in U.S. history — exceeding even the Exxon Valdez disaster in 1989 off the Alaska coast
Analysis: Obama’s priority? More than an oil mess By BEN FELLER Associated Press Writer

Workers clean up oil residue along the beach in Port Fourchon, La., Saturday. — dumping between 18 million and 40 million gallons into the Gulf, according to government estimates. “This scares everybody, the fact that we can’t make this well stop flowing, the
fact that we haven’t succeeded so far,” Suttles said. “Many of the things we’re trying have been done on the surface before, but have never been tried at 5,000 feet.” The company failed in
the days after the spill to use robot submarines to close valves on the massive blowout preventer atop the damaged well, then two weeks later ice-like crystals clogged a 100-ton box the company tried placing over the leak. Earlier this week, engineers removed a milelong siphon tube after it sucked up a disappointing 900,000 gallons of oil from the gusher. Suttles said BP is already preparing for the next attempt to stop the leak that began after the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in April, killing 11 people. The company plans to use robot submarines to cut off the damaged riser from which the oil is leaking, and then try to cap it with a containment valve. The effort is expected to take between four and seven days.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama keeps reassuring the nation that stopping the Gulf oil spill and limiting the fallout on the region are his top priority. Yet so is protecting the country against attack. And getting people back to work. Presidencies usually don’t allow for a dominant priority — just a list of priorities. During another hectic week, Obama made this promise: “This entire White House and this entire federal government has been singularly focused on how do we stop the leak and how do we prevent and mitigate the damage to our coastlines.” From the Gulf Coast on Friday, he said making the people and the ecosystems whole again “is our highest priority.” It was not just a policy statement but a communications imperative. Obama had to show that he’s in charge of making it end. BP bears responsibility for the crisis. Obama now owns it. BP’s latest effort to stop the flow by plugging the well with mud and cement was determined Saturday to have failed. Yet what’s next for the president will not be a single focus on the Gulf. His agenda ahead will be what it was: a juggle of priorities. Others will not wait while oil washes ashore in Louisiana. “Clearly, people around here would like this crisis to recalculate his agenda,” said Brian Brox, a political science professor at Tulane University in New Orleans. “They see this as nearly an existential crisis, the way the aftermath of Katrina was. I think on the national level, however, this will probably one of those multiple balls that (Obama) has up in the air.” Just as Obama finished his Gulf tour Friday, the White House found itself off balance because of an embarrassing admission: It had proposed a political deal, in the form of unpaid job offer, to Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., to get him to back off from his primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa. Sestak said no, stayed in the race and beat Specter. Like presidents before him, Obama is having to work through unforeseen problems: offshore drilling and an environmental disaster, mine safety, the earthquake in Haiti, piracy off the Somali coast. “One of the things you learn as president is because you’ve got this title, and you know, there’s the plane and the helicopter and all that stuff, that people expect you to solve problems,” Obama said Tuesday at a political fundraiser, yet another part of his job.

AP SPOTLIGHT
Deadly, ultra-pure heroin arrives in U.S.
WINFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Mexican drug smugglers are increasingly peddling a form of ultra-potent heroin that sells for as little as $10 a bag and is so pure it can kill unsuspecting users instantly, sometimes before they even remove the syringe from their veins. An Associated Press review of drug overdose data shows that so-called “black tar” heroin — named for its dark, gooey consistency — and other forms of the drug are contributing to a spike in overdose deaths across the nation and attracting a new generation of users who are caught off guard by its potency. “We found people who snorted it lying face-down with the straw lying next to them,” said Patrick O’Neil, coroner in suburban Chicago’s Will County, where annual heroin deaths have nearly tripled — from 10 to 29 — since 2006. “It’s so potent that we occasionally find the needle in the arm at the death scene.” Authorities are concerned that the potency and price of the heroin from Mexico and Colombia could widen the drug’s appeal, just as crack did for cocaine decades ago. The Latin American heroin comes in the form of black tar or brown powder, and it has proven especially popular in rural and suburban areas. Originally associated with rock stars, hippies and inner-city junkies, heroin in the 1970s was usually smuggled from Asia and the Middle East and was around 5 percent pure. The rest was “filler” such as sugar, starch, powdered milk, even brick dust. The low potency meant that many users injected the drug to maximize the effect. But in recent years, Mexican drug dealers have improved the way they process poppies, the brightly colored flowers supplied by drug farmers that provide the raw ingredients for heroin, opium and painkillers such as morphine. Purity levels have increased, and prices have fallen. The greater potency allows more heroin users to snort the drug or smoke it and still achieve a sustained high — an attractive alternative for teenagers and suburbanites who don’t want the HIV risk or the track marks on their arms that come with repeated injections. “That has opened up heroin to a whole different group of users,” said Harry Sommers, the agent in charge of the DEA office in St. Louis. Among the drug’s casualties was William

Henderson, a 29-year-old welder from rural Missouri who died in his sleep in 2009, hours after snorting heroin. A bear of a man at 6-foot-1 and 300 pounds, he had tried the drug only a few times. His wife recalled waking up to find the alarm buzzing. Her husband’s body had turned blue, and his stomach was cold to the touch. “I kept telling him, ‘Will, you’re late — get up!” said Amanda Henderson of Winfield, Mo., northwest of St. Louis. “But he wasn’t moving, wasn’t breathing. I called 911, but I knew it was too late.” She and her three small boys were left destitute. An increasing amount of the deadliest heroin appears to be coming from Mexico. Although the vast majority still arrives from overseas, Mexican dealers appear to be chipping away at the U.S. market. As recently as two years ago, state and federal drug agents saw heroin arriving from Colombia, Asia and Mexico. But as the availability and quality of cocaine and methamphetamine have declined, Mexican smugglers have stepped up heroin shipments to the U.S. Independent Mexican smugglers have the market largely to themselves be-

cause the major drug cartels only dabble in heroin, preferring to focus on locally grown marijuana and Colombian cocaine, according to a DEA official in El Paso, Texas. The agent spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing security concerns and his ongoing role in active drug investigations. Heroin metabolizes in the body so quickly that medical examiners often cannot pinpoint the drug as a cause of death unless there is other evidence to back it up — say, a needle or a syringe found near the body. Also, many victims use multiple drugs and alcohol, so citing a specific substance is often impossible. At the start of the decade, roughly 2,000 people a year died from heroin overdoses nationwide, according to records kept by the Centers for Disease Control. By 2008, the drug was blamed for at least
3,000 deaths in the 36 states that responded to records requests from the AP. Deaths from 2009 have not yet been compiled. In the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, more than 20 deaths were blamed on heroin in 2009. DEA analysis of heroin purchased undercover found the drug was nearly 60 percent pure — the highest average purity in the U.S. At the same time, the price was among the lowest. To hook new users, dealers are selling heroin cheap — often around $10 a bag. The new users included Billy Roberts, the 19-year-old son of a retired Chicago police officer. Last September, he slumped over dead of a heroin overdose at a friend’s house. John Roberts had moved his family to Will County when Billy was just entering high school. “I thought I was moving away from problems like that,” Roberts said. “These kids out here are being introduced to real serious drugs, dirt cheap, and they don’t know how pure and dangerous they are.” Independent Mexican smugglers like Jose Antonio Medina Arreguin pay the cartels for access to lucrative trade routes used to sneak drugs across the border and along U.S. highways. Medina, also known as “Don Pepe,” was arrested earlier this year in Mexico on suspicion of running a $10 million-a-month

deaths last year — 42 more than three years earlier. The dead simply didn’t know the risks of the heroin they used, she said. That’s what happened to Nikki Tayon. A decade ago, she helped lead the high school softball team from Winfield to second place in the state. But it wasn’t long after high school that she began using drugs such as marijuana and meth. A couple of years ago, she turned to heroin. Last April, her mother, Sue Tayon, got a call from a ranger at Cuivre River State Park. Nikki’s purse and cell phone had been found, and rangers were looking for her. Hours later came the gruesome news: Nikki’s body was discovered in a ditch. She was 28. She had overdosed on heroin that was 90 percent pure, her mother said. Police said her boyfriend panicked and dumped Nikki from the car. No charges were filed. “I know she was doing it,” Sue Tayon said. “But she didn’t deserve to die this way.”

Thousands of law opponents march in Phoenix
WH had Clinton try to ease Sestak out of Pa. race
PHOENIX (AP) — Thousands of people from around the country marched to the Arizona state Capitol on Saturday to protest the state’s tough new crackdown on illegal immigration. Marchers carrying signs, banners and flags from the United States and Mexico filled a fivemile stretch of central Phoenix. Dozens of police officers lined the route, and helicopters hovered overhead. Police declined to estimate the size of the crowd, but it appeared at least 10,000 to 20,000 protesters braved temperatures that were forecast to reach 95 degrees by midafternoon. Organizers had said they expected the demonstration to bring as many as 50,000 people. Opponents of the law suspended their boycott against Arizona and bused in protesters from around the country.

year-old college student from Flagstaff. “I’m offended by it because this is a nation founded by immigrants.” Some marchers chanted “si se puede,” a phrase coined by Hispanic civil rights leader Cesar Chavez that roughly means “yes we can.” Others took aim at President Barack Obama, demanding that he prioritize comprehensive immigration reform that would create a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants now in the country. “Obama, listen, we are in the fight,” they chanted in Spanish. A handful of protesters also carried a massive banner that read: “Where’s the change? Mr. President how can we trust you for re-election?” Alfonso Martinez, a 38-year-old Phoenix carpenter and father of three children who are American citizens, said he’s been living illegally in the United States for 21 years while trying to get legal status. “If they stop me and they find my status, who’s going to feed my kids? Who’s going to keep working hard for them?” he said, keeping a careful eye on his 6-year-old daughter as his wife pushed their 4-year-old girl in a stroller. Their 13-yearold son walked ahead of them.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Forced to disclose backstage political bargaining, President Barack Obama’s embarrassed White House acknowledged on Friday that it enlisted Bill Clinton to try to ease Rep. Joe Sestak out of Pennsylvania’s Senate primary with a job offer. The admission left many questions unanswered, however, and Republicans aren’t likely to let the issue rest. For Obama, the revelations called into question his repeated promises to run an open government that was above back room deals.

1,000th GI killed in Afghan war was on second tour
KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — The 1,000th American serviceman killed in Afghanistan had already fallen once to a hidden explosive, driving his Humvee over a bomb in Iraq in 2007. The blast punched the dashboard radio into his face and broke his leg in two places. Marine Cpl. Jacob C. Leicht didn’t survive his second encounter with a bomb this week. The death of the 24year-old Texan born on the Fourth of July marks a grim milestone in the Afghanistan war. Leicht, who spent two painful years recovering from the Iraq blast, was killed Thursday when he stepped on a land mine in Helmand province that ripped off his right arm. He had written letters from his hospital bed begging to be put back on the front lines, and died less than a month into that desperately sought second tour. An Associated Press tally shows Leicht is the 1,000th U.S. serviceman killed in the Afghan conflict. The first death — nearly nine years ago — was also a soldier from the San Antonio area. “He said he always wanted to die for his country and be remembered,” said Jesse Leicht, his younger brother. “He didn’t want to die having a heart attack or just being an old man. He wanted to die for something.” The AP bases its tally on Defense Department reports of deaths suffered as a direct result of the Afghan conflict, including personnel assigned to units in Afghanistan, Pakistan or Uzbekistan. Other news organizations count deaths suffered by service members assigned elsewhere as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, which includes operations in the Philippines, the Horn of Africa and at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

DENNIS HOPPER DIES AT 74
Hollywood’s ‘wild man’ hit it big with ‘Easy Rider’
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dennis Hopper, the high-flying Hollywood wild man whose memorable and erratic career included an early turn in “Rebel Without a Cause,� an improbable smash with “Easy Rider� and a classic character role in “Blue Velvet,� has died. He was 74. Hopper died Saturday at his home in the Los Angeles beach community of Venice, surrounded by family and friends, family friend Alex Hitz said. Hopper’s manager announced in October 2009 that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The success of “Easy Rider,� and the spectacular failure of his next film, “The Last Movie,� fit the pattern for the talented but sometimes uncontrollable actor-director, who also had parts in such favorites as “Apocalypse Now� and “Hoosiers.� He was a two-time Academy Award nominee, and in March 2010, was honored with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. After a promising start that included roles in two James Dean films, Hopper’s acting career had languished as he developed a reputation for throwing tantrums and abusing alcohol and drugs. On the set of “True Grit,� Hopper so angered John Wayne that the star reportedly chased

Actor and director Dennis Hopper looks on during a 2008 press conference at the Cinematheque Francaise in Paris. Hopper, the Hollywood actor-director whose memorable career included the 1969 smash “Easy Rider,� died Saturday at his Venice, Calif. home. Hopper with a loaded gun. Tributes were posted Saturday on celebrities’ websites and Twitter feeds. Actress Marlee Matlin called Hopper a “maverick, a wonderful actor. You always got something unexpected from him.� Guitarist Slash tweeted, “You take the great ones for granted until they’re gone. RIP Dennis Hopper.� He married five times and led a dramatic life right to the end. In January, Hopper filed to end his 14year marriage to Victoria Hopper, who stated in court filings that the actor was seeking to cut her out of her inheritance, a claim Hopper denied. “Much of Hollywood,� wrote critic-historian
David Thomson, “found Hopper a pain in the neck.� All was forgiven, at least for a moment, when he collaborated with another struggling actor, Peter Fonda, on a script about two pot-smoking, drug-dealing hippies on a motorcycle trip through the Southwest and South to take in the New Orleans Mardi Gras. On the way, Hopper and Fonda befriend a drunken young lawyer (Jack Nicholson, whom Hopper had resisted casting, in a breakout role), but arouse the enmity of Southern rednecks and are murdered before they can return home. “’Easy Rider’ was never a motorcycle movie to me,� Hopper said in 2009. “A lot of it was about politically
what was going on in the country.� Fonda produced “Easy Rider� and Hopper directed it for a meager $380,000. It went on to gross $40 million worldwide, a substantial sum for its time. The film was a hit at Cannes, netted a bestscreenplay Oscar nomination for Hopper, Fonda and Terry Southern, and has since been listed on the American Film Institute’s ranking of the top 100 American films. Its success prompted studio heads to schedule a new kind of movie: low cost, with inventive photography and themes about a young, restive baby boom generation. With Hopper hailed as a brilliant
filmmaker, Universal Pictures lavished $850,000 on his next project, “The Last Movie.� The title was prescient. Hopper took a large cast and crew to a village in Peru to film the tale of a Peruvian tribe corrupted by a movie company. Trouble on the set developed almost immediately, as Peruvian authorities pestered the company, drug-induced orgies were reported and Hopper seemed out of control. When he finally completed filming, he retired to his home in Taos, N.M., to piece together the film, a process that took almost a year, in part because he was using psychedelic drugs for editing inspiration. When it was released, “The Last Movie� was such a crashing failure that it made Hopper unwanted in Hollywood for a decade. At the same time, his drug and alcohol use was increasing to the point where he was said to be consuming as much as a gallon of rum a day. Shunned by the Hollywood studios, he found work in European films that were rarely seen in the United States. But, again, he made a remarkable comeback, starting with a memorable performance as a drugged-out journalist in Francis Ford Coppola’s

1979 Vietnam War epic, “Apocalypse Now,� a spectacularly long and troubled film to shoot. Hopper was drugged-out off camera, too, and his rambling chatter was worked into the final cut. He went on to appear in several films in the early 1980s, including the well regarded “Rumblefish� and “The Osterman Weekend,� as well as the campy “My Science Project� and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.� But alcohol and drugs continued to interfere with his work. Treatment at a detox clinic helped him stop drinking but he still used cocaine, and at one point he became so hallucinatory that he was committed to the psychiatric ward of a Los Angeles hospital. Upon his release, Hopper joined Alcoholics Anonymous, quit drugs and launched yet another comeback. It began in 1986 when he played an alcoholic ex-basketball star in “Hoosiers,� which brought him an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. His role as a wild druggie in “Blue Velvet,� also in 1986, won him more acclaim, and years later the character wound up No. 36 on the AFI’s list of top 50 movie villains. He returned to directing, with “Colors,� “The Hot Spot� and “Chasers.�

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s a wrap for “Tonight Show� bandleader Kevin Eubanks after 18 years backing up host Jay Leno. “I don’t think we’ve ever had an argument,� Leno said, bidding Eubanks farewell on Friday’s show. “We’ve had a lot of fun.� Eubanks, whose duties included comic sidekick to Leno as well as guitarist, had been aboard since Leno took over NBC’s “Tonight� in 1992. Eubanks became musical director when Branford Marsalis left in 1995. The 52-year-old Eubanks joined Leno last fall for the short-lived “The Jay Leno Show� in prime time, then came back to “Tonight� when Leno reclaimed the show from Conan O’Brien in March. O’Brien left NBC rather than move “Tonight� to a later slot to make room for Leno in late night. In April, Eubanks announced his plans to depart, but he insisted the recent turmoil had played no part in his decision. He said he was seeking a career change of pace.

Q
: How the economy has impacted CUOC?
The economy has had a major impact on the CUOC. In 2009 we distributed more than 11,000 boxes of food into the community which fed over 37,000 individuals, totaling 495,000 pounds of food. As you can see the 15,000-pound Postal Food Drive helped but does not come close to meeting our annual needs. With an average of 850 boxes of food distributed each month (totaling 45,000 pounds of food) the current unemployment rates are definitely having an impact on our local agency. On a statewide level we are seeing the available food from the North Carolina

November/December and January. It has taken some new thinking to reach more volunteers, more donors and most of all more food donations. We are very thankful for a community which continues to reach out to others through donations such as local food drives through the holidays and more recently the Postal Food Drive, which netted about 15,000 pounds of food for our agency. In addition we have seen an increase in financial donations which has allowed us to continue our Emergency Financial Aid assistance to our clients with light bills, gas bills and eviction notices. With the additional financial support and some close CUOC friends we have been able to purchase the building that houses CUOC in December 2009. This has allowed us to look at the future and how our

Food Bank also diminishing. There are times we cannot get meats in large quantities and very little perishable cooler items are available such as salads, eggs, etc. Limits are often placed on items of distribution to allow all agencies to receive some product.
Q
: How does CUOC work with other entities to serve people in Lee County? CUOC partners with the Bread Basket and Bread of Life Ministries to reach people in our community. When an excess of donations are available we all share with each other to make sure perishable food is used timely. With our current facilities we have ample room for storage of large donations for freezer and cooler space along with warehouse space until it can be distributed. When you receive a phone call that a donation needs to be made within the day it doesn’t leave a lot of room for coordinating the effort. It’s nice to have a facility that can meet these demands.
Q
: What lies ahead for CUOC?
I wish I could say that we are working ourselves out of a job ... no more families lined up two hours prior to food distribution, no more families needing to use our agency to eat during any given month, no more families needing additional financial assistance just to keep the lights on or the landlord from evicting them from their home.

It appears that our food distribution has continued to increase by 3,000, up to 5,000 pounds per month, and that the average of 100 new families per month requesting assistance is not diminishing either. We are looking for more volunteers and donations to meet this increase along with expanding the hours of our Thrift Store and perhaps extending hours of food distribution. At the present time families can only come once every 15 days and we are also looking into whether that is still feasible to meet the growing demand for assistance.
Q
: What can people do to help?
Volunteer your time to help us reach this community need. Whether you can give two hours a day or two hours a week or two hours per month, it would be a huge impact on meeting these demands. There are other ways. Coordinate a food drive in your neighborhood, church or civic club. Volunteer to work a day in our Thrift Store on a regular basis so that we can expand the store hours. Make a financial contribution to help a family avoid losing their power or gas service or to keep a family from losing their home. Everyone working together will help our neighbors to get through this tough economic time and give hope in an otherwise hopeless situation. We can make a difference, one box of food at the time. For more information, contact CUOC at (919) 774-8485.
Crash Continued from Page 1A
Fermin Patrocinio Perez, police said. All three men lived in the same residence on Burns Drive in Sanford. Sanford Police Department Capt. David Smith said police are searching for another man, believed to be another cousin, who was apparently driving the 2004 Nissan truck when it crashed. Witnesses said a man crawled out of the vehicle after the accident and staggered away toward Spring Lane, Smith said. “We don’t know how badly he was hurt,� he said. Smith said police are using dogs to search for the man in surrounding neighborhoods or the nearby woods. Smith said speed was likely a factor in the crash. The speed limit is 65 mph on that portion of Jefferson Davis Highway, although the authorized speed is 35 mph on the exit ramp. According to a crash report, the men were estimated to be moving 70 mph as they were traveling south on the highway at the time of the accident. Two of the three men found at the crash site were dead when police arrived, although another man died later at Central Carolina Hospital in Sanford, the report said.

Yellow Jackets never quit on themselves
I
t wasn’t like they were trying to get out of their running. No, that wasn’t it. Sure, they maybe had to be told more than once — and in some cases twice — to get the equipment put away after a workout, but practice was practice. Put the time in, do the work, do it right, and then you can be done. But a little fun could be had, too. So when it came time to get their post-practice running in, the Yellow Jackets were going to do it, no questions asked. Well, one question was asked. This time, anyway. Instead of the monotony of running foul pole to foul pole in the outfield, the interrogative was posed, could the guys, you know, maybe, um, well, toss the football around, too? Kind of a makeshift, free-for-all pick-up game of touch-football in the outfield. Whaddya think, Coach? What was the old quarterback gonna say? Off they went, bouncing off each other in the spring sun, doing more sprinting and long-distance running playing a goofy backyard game of football than they ever would have done had they just run the poles. But that was the thing about this Lee County baseball team. They didn’t know when to stop playing. • At the time of their quick gridiron excursion, the Jackets were in a hole in the Tri-9 Conference standings. Lee County was coming out of a stretch of five road games in less than three weeks, a gauntlet perhaps no team in the vaunted Tri-9 Conference could have cleared unscathed. And the Jackets hadn’t, either, losing five of six games to fall to 8-10 on the season. Talk of a berth in the state playoffs wasn’t out of reach though, it was said. Win out, and the Jackets would probably still get in. Win out. Yeah, right. How many under-.500 teams go on a late-season tear to make the playoffs? But coach Charlie Spivey saw something in this club. It was possibly the best practice club he had been around, and with two state championship rings at home, that’s saying something. And then the Jackets started preaching what they had been practicing. A convincing win over rival Southern Lee. Down five runs to Cary, only to storm back and win in the late innings. Later, another rally, this one past Fuquay-Varina in the regular season finale, put the Jackets in the postseason. And they were off. “From the Southern Lee game on, we really gained a sense of confidence,” says ace Dillon Frye, who may have been the most valuable player

WILMINGTON — It’s over. The magical run that the Lee County Yellow Jackets built over the last month came to an end in Game 3 of the best-of-three East Regional Final series of the NCHSAA 4-A state baseball tournament. The Yellow Jackets, who forced the all-or-nothing third game with a 4-0 Game 2 win earlier in the day, fell to Laney 6-1 in the decisive meeting on Saturday afternoon at Laney High School in Wilmington. But the Yellow Jackets refused to go down without a fight. Lee County built a 1-0 lead through five innings and was

With its core returning, Lee County’s future is bright By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — Eight seniors might be gone, but the main nucleus of the Lee County Yellow Jackets will be back in 2011. After a magical season ended in a 6-1 loss in decisive Game 3 to Laney in the 4-A East Regional Final on Saturday afternoon, the relatively young Yellow Jackets could have the pieces in place to be even better next season. They’re still going to have to replace a lot of leadership from their eight seniors, which
include players like Zach Bradford, Trent Clark, Cody Palmer, Garrett Verrilli and Patrick Oldham. “I told our seniors after the game that they have done so much for us this season,” said Lee County head coach Charlie Spivey. “Their fingerprints are all over this program forever. Everyone will remember what those eight guys did and what they meant to this program.” The Yellow Jackets, after a 9-0 loss to Holly Springs, were once 8-10 and were on the outside

2B / Sunday, May 30, 2010 / The Sanford Herald INDY 500 Penske, Ganassi look to extend Indy dominance INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Roger Penske and Chip Ganassi stood in front of the cameras at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Friday morning and placed their hands on BorgWarner Trophy given annually to the Indy 500 winner. After the flashes stopped, Penske relaxed and took a step back. Ganassi didn’t miss a beat, playfully taking a firmer grip of the coveted prize. Forgive the rest of the IndyCar Series if they hope both men are out of the picture on Sunday afternoon. “People are tired of seeing the Penske/Ganassi show,” said Ryan Hunter-Reay, who will start 17th for Andretti Autosport. “It’s like if the Patriots went to the Super Bowl and won and won and won. Everybody gets tired of that, and it’s bad for the sport.” You won’t hear Penske or Ganassi complaining. Their drivers have turned the series into their own personal playground over the last four years, combining to win 52 of the last 70 races since the start of the 2006 season. That period includes two 500 wins and a points title for Team Penske and a pair of season championships and a 500 victory for Target/Chip Ganassi Racing. Another team breaking up the party at the Brickyard on Sunday looks like a long shot.

Ginepri last U.S. man at French
MLB ROUNDUP
SPORTS BRIEFS UK says Bledsoe cleared by NCAA
PARIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Saturday did not get off to a particularly auspicious start for Americans in Paris. Playing simultaneously across the Roland Garros grounds in the morning, Andy Roddick lost in straight sets, the top-seeded Bryan twins did the same in doubles, and Serena Williams felt so dizzy and weak while dropping five consecutive games that she sought a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention before eventually turning things around to win. And then, as daylight gave way to dusk amid an intermittent drizzle, Robby Ginepri of Kennesaw, Ga., pulled off quite a victory, upsetting 2003 French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero of Spain 7-5, 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 6-4 to give the United States one man in the fourth round. Ginepri doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a coach, is ranked 98th, and hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a main-draw match on clay this year before arriving at the French Open. Indeed, before his 3-0 streak over the past week, Ginepri boasted a record of 1-7 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; yes, 1-7! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in all tour-level matches this season.

Cleveland Indians pitcher David Huff lies on the mound after being hit by a line drive by New York Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Alex Rodriguez during the third inning of a baseball game Saturday at Yankee Stadium in New York.
Tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Huff struck in head, Indians rally by Yankees NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cleveland pitcher David Huff was hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of Alex Rodriguez, and was recovering in a hospital when the Indians rallied from a big deficit to beat the New York Yankees 13-11 Saturday. Huff was down on the mound for 6 minutes, carted off the field and taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital, where a CT scan was negative. He was to remain at the hospital for several hours as a precaution. The Indians said Huff never lost consciousness, nor did he have memory loss. The ball caromed off his head into right field for an RBI double. Down 10-4 in the sixth inning to CC Sabathia, the Indians came back to win. Lou
Marson hit three doubles and Russell Branyan homered. Twins 8, Rangers 3 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Minnesota Twins finally got a big hit with the bases loaded to key a six-run seventh inning in their 8-3 victory over the Texas Rangers. Delmon Young hit a two-run double and J.J. Hardy followed with a two-run single for the Twins, who entered the game hitting just .167 with the bases loaded this season. Angels 5, Mariners 1, 10 innings ANAHEIM, Calif.

Cubs 5, Cardinals 0 CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carlos Silva won again, striking out a career-high 11 during seven dominant innings and pitching the Chicago Cubs past the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 Saturday. Silva (7-0) allowed just two hits and walked none. Matt Holliday was the only Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; batter to reach base against Silva with a single in the second and a double in the seventh.

SANDHILLS ORTHODONTICS
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; University of Kentucky spokesman DeWayne Peevy says former basketball star Eric Bledsoe passed an extensive review process by the NCAA before joining the Wildcats. The statement comes after a report in The New York Times that the NCAA is looking into questions about Bledsoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic history and recruitment. In an e-mailed statement, Peevy said Bledsoe participated in the normal academic review process and also an extensive prospective student athlete review by the NCAA Eligibility Center and was cleared academically. Bledsoe helped the Wildcats go 35-3 last season, averaging 11.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists. He declared for the NBA draft after one season and most projections have him going late in the first round or early in the second in the June draft.
Altidore, Dempsey give U.S. 2-1 win over Turkey PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey scored second-half goals, giving the United States a 2-1 exhibition win over Turkey on Saturday in the Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last game before leaving for the World Cup. Arda Turan put the Turks ahead in the 27th minute on a counterattack after right back Jonathan Spector was dispossessed upfield. Altidore tied the score in the 58th minute and Dempsey put the U.S. ahead in the 75th, exciting a redwhite-and-blue clad crowd of 55,407 at Lincoln Financial Field. The Americans leave Sunday for South Africa and meet Australia in a final exhibition on June 5, one week before their World Cup opener against England.
Georgia Tech routs N.C. State 17-5 at ACC tourney GREENSBORO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tony Plagman and Matt Skole drove in three runs apiece to lead Georgia Tech past North Carolina State 17-5 on Saturday in the completion of a suspended Atlantic Coast Conference tournament game. Plagman went 3 for 4 for the Yellow Jackets (45-12). They scored seven runs in the seventh inning to invoke the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-run rule, and improved to 1-1 in pool play entering their game against Clemson later Saturday. Harold Riggins and Pratt Maynard each homered for the Wolfpack (37-21). They had their five-game winning streak snapped and fell to 11 entering their game against pool leader Virginia Tech on Saturday night. The game originally was suspended in the first inning Friday night because of rain with Tech leading 2-0.
Davis, Molder take lead into Colonial final round FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brian Davis and Bryce Molder will share entering the final round at the Colonial. Davis shot his second consecutive bogey-free 65 on Saturday to get to 16-under 194. That got him even with Molder, who overcame an early double bogey and finished with eight straight pars in a round of 67. Both are searching for their first PGA Tour victory Sunday. Zach Johnson is a stroke back after a third-round 64, while Ben Crane, Jeff Overton and Jason Bohn are tied for fourth. Davis lost in a playoff last month to Jim Furyk when he called a two-stroke penalty on himself on the extra hole at Hilton Head. The 35-year-old Englishman had missed the cut in his last three tournaments, but is now in position to win.

Game 3 Continued from Page 1B
just six outs away from making its first state championship appearance since 2001. In the sixth inning, however, Laney responded with six unanswered runs to take the lead for good. The Yellow Jackets lost Game 1 of the series 11-2 on Friday night and then turned around to shut out the Buccaneers 4-0 in 91 minutes in Game 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this entire series says a lot about our kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; character, determination and desire,â&#x20AC;? said Lee County head coach Charlie Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lose the first game 11-2 and we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to stop the bleeding in that game. We bounce back and win the first game and were just six outs away from getting to the state championship. These kids just kept battling and fighting, just like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done all season long. It tells a lot about these guys for them to come back like that.â&#x20AC;? That will to keep fighting showed even in the seventh inning when the Yellow
Jackets (17-12) had one last shot to keep their season alive. Dillon Frye reached base on a single, Nick Durazo got on due to a fielding error and first baseman Patrick Oldham also got on because of an error to load the bases with one out. Garrett Verrilli, unfortunately, grounded into a double play to end the game. But the fact that the Yellow Jackets loaded the bases five runs down in the final inning of the season with everything at stake showed Spivey exactly what he has been preaching all year long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Apex win (in the fourth round) was very, very emotional and this series with Laney was extremely emotional,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just kept staying in the moment and stayed the course. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get caught up in the emotion and just kept playing our game. These guys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get emotional during the game. They keep fighting, no matter what. Trailing 6-1 in the seventh and we load the bases just shows the toughness and fight that our guys have.â&#x20AC;? The Yellow Jackets
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I think this entire series says a lot about our kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; character, determination and desire.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Charlie Spivey Lee County coach
scored first on Carson Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice fly that scored Julio Paredes from third in the fourth inning. Paredes hit a blooper to short and his speed was able to beat out the play at first. After that, though, Lee County was only able to muster three additional hits off Laney pitcher Mike Hilla for the remainder of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we just ran out of gas,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got timely hits in that sixth inning with a lot of RBI with two outs. That couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve easily been us. Laneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good club and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very deserving of everything theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished. They just got the hits and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? Laney (17-9) got its runs from UNC-Wilmington

signee Ryan LaGrange, North Carolina A&T signee Luke Tendler, Dallas Perdue, Jeremy Bland, Corbin Bednarczyk and Raleigh Stoughton in that sixth inning. Four of those runs were scored off Durazo, who came in during the fifth inning to relieve starter Trent Clark. The other two runs were scored off Carson Wilson, who made his first appearance on the mound in the postseason. Durazo, who is just a sophomore and was a key factor behind Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magical ride through the playoffs, allowed five hits in 1 2/3 innings and struck out two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen better days as a pitcher,â&#x20AC;? said Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told him after the game that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a huge part of this team in the future. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a lot this season to be proud of and for him to do it while being so young says a lot about his future. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been tremendous. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hurting right now, though. All of our kids are.â&#x20AC;? It took 12 innings before Laney was able to get any runs on the board. But once it rained, it poured for the Buccaneers, who will advance to play the winner of the 4-A Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Forsyth
or T.C. Roberson in the state championship series next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything that could possibly go right for us went right,â&#x20AC;? said Laney skipper Vern Barker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we got the lead, everything finally started to click. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy for every single one of my guys. They are all deserving of this. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re elated, yes. But we still know that the job isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two or three more games to play before weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done.â&#x20AC;? When his team was down 1-0 after five, Barker walked into the dugout and told his team how proud he was of the season the Buccaneers had put together. Laney, a four seed from the Mideastern Conference, had won eight straight games headed into Game 2 on Saturday morning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them that if this is indeed the end of the season, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud of all of them,â&#x20AC;? said Barker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them that if this was the last game of our season, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have nothing to hang our heads about. I guess I was ready to accept our fate, but our guys werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. They went out there and showed it. â&#x20AC;? The fight and determination of a relatively young Lee County program didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
go unnoticed by Barker or his Buccaneers after the game either. After the postgame handshake, some Laney players went so far as to talk to a few Yellow Jacket players before celebrating their trip to the state title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to tip your cap to Charlie Spivey, his staff and their players,â&#x20AC;? said Barker about the Yellow Jackets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all deserve a ton of credit for getting this far and bouncing back the way they did. They are all a group of fine people as well as fine baseball players. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot to be proud of. â&#x20AC;? Spivey, who won the state championship in 1996 and 2001 as the coach of the Yellow Jackets, says that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still too early to reflect on everything his team did this season. He says that once they do look back, he hopes his players see how magical this ride was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a wonderful ride and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame that it has to end,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe, after a while, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look back and reflect and see just how special this season was. Right now, though, our guys are hurting and rightfully so. Hopefully, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all look back on it and realize how special this team really was.â&#x20AC;?

Also returning will be ace Dillon Frye, who won all four of his postseason starts, including Game 2 on Saturday morning, where he allowed only one hit in five innings on just three days of rest. Sophomore lefty Nick Durazo gained valuable experience this postseason, which could be vital to his success on the mound next year.

to his team than any other still alive this deep in the playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we needed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just confidence. Southern Lee was a good team and was our rival. So winning that game really helped us gain that extra sense of confidence that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been missing. Once we got confident, everything started coming together.â&#x20AC;? They blasted a conference champion in Millbrook in the first round, wasting the Wildcats in five innings, the first of four postseason wins for Frye. Lee County knocked off Richmond in the second round, beat Broughton in the third and then watched Apex tie the game in the sixth inning of the fourth. The Jackets werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done though. Frye blasted a two-out, 2-1 pitch high and deep over the center field wall, and the message was sent. Not until the final out is recorded are these Jackets going to stop playing.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This group of kids came together and everything clicked at the right time,â&#x20AC;? says Spivey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were 8-10 following a 9-0 loss to Holly Springs and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop fighting. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit. We kept preparing and everything came together for us at just the right time. And we went on to win eight in a row.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ Nothing seemed to go right in Wilmington. Not at first. Laney put it to the Jackets in Game 1 of the East Region final series, clubbing Lee County 11-2. The Jackets had to sleep on that loss, their worst â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and first â&#x20AC;&#x201D; since mid-April. Was Laney a juggernaut? Would Frye be ready to go on three-days rest for the first time in his life? Is this the end? Not without a fight. Frye was dominant again in the playoffs, recording 10 strikeouts by the time he had reached the fifth inning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his 12th in less than a week, the maximum he was allowed to pitch under state rules. Frye left with a 2-0 lead, Carson Wilson made it 4-0 with a bomb, and Trent Clark hurled
two scoreless innings for the save. The Jackets were alive, forcing a decisive Game 3. Clark turned around an hour later and started the game. He gave the Jackets everything he had, and left the mound with a 1-0 lead in the fifth. This time, Laney made the comeback, delivering the final blow to a remarkable Jacketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season. This would be the end. But not before Lee County loaded the bases in its last at-bat of the season. Of course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That team had more fight and will in it than I had anticipated,â&#x20AC;? said Laney coach Vern Baker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to give the Lee County players and coaching staff a ton of credit for coming back the way they did and putting us on the ropes like that. The people in Sanford have a lot to be proud of with that club.â&#x20AC;? Alex Podlogar is The Heraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports editor. Reach him at alexp@sanfordherald.com and at (919) 718-1222.

Lee County starting pitcher Dillon Frye checks his runner on first during Game 2 of East Regional Finals against Laney High School in Wilmington on Saturday.
Frye dominant again to give Jackets a shot By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com
WILMINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After only three days off, Lee County pitcher Dillon Frye sure looked well rested. Frye, who pitched a complete game in Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Tri-9 Conference foe Apex, threw five innings and struck out 10, allowing just one hit to pace the Yellow Jackets to a 4-0 victory over Laney in Game 2 of the 4-A East Regional Finalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bestof-three series on Saturday afternoon in Wilmington. It was Fryeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth win of the postseason. He was not available to pitch at all in Game 3 after working 12 innings this week. Trent Clark, who earned the save in Game 2, started Game 3. The win forced a decisive Game 3, which was also played on Saturday afternoon. The stakes? The winner would advance to the state championship game of the NCHSAA 4-A state baseball tournament. Lee County (17-11), which was the home team in Game 2, rebounded from its 11-2 loss in Game 1 of the series. Lee County head coach Charlie Spivey blamed the loss on poor pitching. In the Game 2 victory, the Yellow Jackets limited Laney (16-9) to just two hits for the entire game. The scoring got started in the third inning when designated hitter Garrett
Verrilli hit an RBI single to score Nick Durazo, who reached base on a single. In the fourth inning, Frye was hit by a pitch and was replaced on base by Chris Thompson. Tyler Castleberry belted a single to send Chris Thompson home to make it 2-0. In the fourth, Laneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designated hitter Dallas Perdue reached base on a fielding error from Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zach Bradford. Perdue eventually stole second to put him in scoring position before Frye struck out the side to keep the runner at bay. In the sixth, Laney threatened again when Ryan LaGrange reached on a single. Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balk allowed LaGrange to move to second. LaGrange eventually got all the way to third. The Yellow Jacket defense retired the rest of the side to keep another runner from scoring. In the bottom of the sixth, Lee County put things out of reach when Carson Wilson belted a two-run home run over the left field wall. Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homer, which was his first of the postseason, also scored Alex Furl and put Lee County up 4-0. Clark allowed just one hit in two innings of work after relieving Frye. LaGrange, a UNC-Wilmington signee, had the only two hits of the game for the Buccaneers.

Dianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daring black dress goes on the block
LONDON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It was black and strapless, with a sassy sequined flounce at the bodice and a gloriously full, swishy skirt. The dress was, Lady Diana Spencer thought, so grown-up, just right for her first official engagement after the
announcement she was to marry Prince Charles. But when photographs emerged of the then 19year-old Diana emerging from a limousine at a March, 1981 charity event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all creamy shoulders and ample decolletage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there was a minor scandal over the reveal-
ing cut. According to Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed the ball gown with her husband David, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize the furor the dress would cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just looked fantastic. At that time, she was curvy. Not fat in any way, but she had cleavage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we love cleavage. And she looked great in this dress,â&#x20AC;? Emanuel said in an interview Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We in no way expected there to be
such a reaction. And I think from that moment on, Diana became a fashion icon.â&#x20AC;? The dress had been missing for years until David Emanuel recently discovered it in a plastic bag at his home. Along with other garments worn by Diana and designed by the Emanuels, it is to be auctioned off June 8 in a sale that includes the silk chiffon blouse chosen for the Princess of Walesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
Alignments - Autos, Pickups, Large Trucks, Motorhomes We offer Motorhome repairs Towing - Light, Medium, and Heavy Duty
official engagement portrait by Lord Snowdon, and the calico prototype used to fit her famous ivory wedding gown. Prince Charles reportedly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the ballgown she wore to the charity event, because he thought black was for people in mourning. Diana thought it was tres chic, and anyway, she had nothing else to wear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was unsophisticated at that point, and when I look at the wedding dress and the black ballgown I can see a young girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream of the ultimate party dress or romantic dress,â&#x20AC;? said auctioneer Kerry Taylor, whose eponymous firm is handling the sale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an innocence about these early pieces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Later on she became very svelte, very sophisticated, very elegant,â&#x20AC;? Taylor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But here we see just a very beautiful, innocent young girl, and the clothes reflect that.â&#x20AC;? For the editors of Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voracious press, the dress â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the snaps of Diana in it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would kick off a long love affair with the princess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up until that point, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen her as a floppy-haired puppy,â&#x20AC;? said Christopher Wilson, a
seasoned observer who has written extensively on the royals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the moment Fleet Street fell in love with her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all stretches back to that one picture.â&#x20AC;? Taylor and Elizabeth Emanuel are hopeful the collection will go to a museum â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the black dress is expected to fetch between 30,000 and 50,000 pounds ($44,000 to $73,000) and the prototype of the wedding dress between 8,000 and 12,000 pounds ($12,000 to $17,000) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but understand that Dianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy means thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong chance a private collector may snap up the garments. Despite the reaction to her ballgown, Diana liked it enough to ask the Emanuels to take it in when it became too large for her, as she was constantly losing weight. In the months leading up to her wedding, Dianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waist dropped from 26 to 24 inches, and the Emanuels decided it would be easier to just make her a new, smaller version of the dress. Elizabeth Emanuel said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what happened to the second version.

DEAR ABBY: As a nation, we Americans are at our best when we come together bonded by a noble purpose. It is my privilege to invite our citizens to unite for the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. (local time) tomorrow on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31. Our hope is that your readers will pause at that moment whether at a ballgame or barbecue, in the swimming pool or at the shopping mall, in respectful silence to honor America’s fallen. To unite the country in remembrance, Congress officially established the National Moment of Remembrance in 2000. And as has been done in the past, in observance of this National Moment, Major League Baseball games will stop, Amtrak trains will blow their whistles and the National Grocers Association and Food Marketing Institute will have customers and staff pause in more than 30,000 stores throughout our country. Abby, your patriotism and compassion, united with that of your millions of readers, have helped us — and continue to help us — unite our country in remembrance of our fallen on Memorial Day. We must ensure that their lives, their deaths and the memory of their sacrifice will never be forgotten. So let us stop for a moment at 3:00 (local time) tomorrow and commit to live honoring America’s

I accept your kind invitation on behalf of myself and Dear Abby readers everywhere.

DEAR ABBY: I am 14 and will attend a private high school in the fall. Both of my sisters were star athletes at the same school. I am gifted in both academics and athletics, and I’ll be taking two honors classes. My dad recently pointed out that I am required to play a sport. I believe if I do, I will be too stressed out and my grades will slip. He wants me to be this “super child” that I am not and go to Harvard. Everyone who knows me overestimates me. How should I approach him to tell him how I really feel? — PUSHED TO MY LIMITS IN ALBUQUERQUE DEAR PUSHED: If you’re unsure about your ability to carry the load, approach your father as you have approached me. However, before you do, I wish you would take into consideration that participating in a sport can be an effective way of releasing stress -- including academic pressure. If sports are a requirement at your school, there is a good reason for it. So please, at least give it a try. If it’s too much for you, talk to your parents, as well as your counselor at school. P.S. As to “everyone who knows you overestimating you,” has it occurred to you that you may be UNDERestimating yourself?

Special delivery! Chicago zoo gets 3 stork chicks
Wash. inmate kills entangled deer at work farm
CHICAGO (AP) — Someone’s been bringing the storks babies at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo. The 142-year-old zoo suddenly has the making of a new flock of European white storks after three stork eggs hatched there in the last week. A mated pair hatched the eggs Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Lincoln Park’s bird curator, Colleen Lynch, said Friday that it is the first time in the zoo’s history that the species has hatched young there. Lynch said the storks have built their nest in a viewable outdoor habitat next to the bird house. A more ominous chick also arrived at the zoo Monday, when two rare Cinerous vultures hatched an egg. Lynch said the stork and vulture parents both appear to be doing an excellent job of tending their chicks.
WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) — The Washington State Penitentiary says an inmate on a work crew killed and butchered a deer that was entangled in netting at the prison’s pheasant farm near Walla Walla. Spokeswoman Shari Hall says the minimum-security prisoner killed the deer last Saturday using a box cutter that the crew is allowed to use. Investigators acting on a tip Tuesday found about 15 pounds of venison in garbage bags in the farm’s break room. Hall says she didn’t know what the inmate intended to do with the meat. The break room has no cooking equipment, and no campfires are allowed on the farm. The inmate, who is a former butcher, lost work crew privileges and could face other punishment. He is incarcerated on a drug conviction and is scheduled to be released in December 2012.
Robbers distract victims with feces in Toronto TORONTO (AP) — Toronto police say robbers are squirting people with feces at cash machines to distract them before stealing their money. Constable Tony Vella said Friday that the robbers use squeeze bottles to squirt the victims who are making cash withdrawals. The offenders then help them clean the feces off their clothing, and in the process, they steal their money. Vella says the robberies have happened four times in downtown Toronto in the last week. He says groups of at least four suspects are usually involved. One person squirts the victim’s clothing with feces, another points out the offending spot, a third person tries to remove it and the fourth person grabs their cash.

Get back in touch with estranged father Q: My father called the other day for the first time in over 10 years. He says he feels bad over the way he treated us and wants to reconnect, but how do I know he’s telling the truth? He’s always been a very manipulative person. It’s hard to forget how he walked out on Mom and left us on our own. — Mrs. A.K. A: In a few weeks, our nation will be celebrating Father’s Day — and I hope many readers will see it as an opportunity to draw closer to their fathers. It may not be easy when the relationship has been rocky — but we each have only one father, and once he’s gone, it’s too late to try to heal the past. Your suspicion is understandable and it probably won’t vanish all at once. But don’t let it keep you from doing what’s right and trying to bridge the gap between you and your father. Remember, broken relationships take time to heal; it’s usually a slow, step-by-step process. But your father has taken a first step, and now you also have an opportunity to take a first step. Don’t live with regret; don’t look back 10 or 20 years from now and wonder what might have happened if you’d only responded. God may be giving you this opportunity; don’t turn it down. Will it be easy? No, probably not. But don’t focus only on the hurts of the past and all the things that went wrong. Instead, think of the future, and thank God for giving you life through your father. And may all of us remember the Bible’s command: “Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you” (Deuteronomy 5:16).

The White House hopes Congress can finish it by July. n The president needs GOP support of two big initiatives, energy and immigration, but has little to show so far. n Senators begin hearings in late June on his nominee for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan. n Fall elections are nearing, with Democrats facing losses and in need of campaign help from Obama. Politics never stop, of course. Just as Obama finished his Gulf tour Friday, the White House found itself off balance because of an embarrassing admission: It had proposed a political deal, in the form of unpaid job offer, to Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., to get him to back off from his primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa. Sestak said no, stayed in the race and beat Specter. Like presidents before him, Obama is having to work through unforeseen problems: offshore drilling and an environmental disaster, mine safety, the earthquake in Haiti, piracy off the Somali coast. “One of the things you learn as president is because you’ve got this title, and you know, there’s the plane and the helicopter and all that stuff, that people expect you to solve problems,” Obama said Tuesday at a political fundraiser, yet

Have you made a New Year’s resolution without making a plan? I bet you failed to achieve your goal. I sure don’t want to build a house without a plan!!! And you’re probably glad not to buy that home as well. Unfortunately, we live much of our lives flying by the seat of our pants, with no plans and no goals. I was impressed by the recent news that our neighbor, Chatham County has a goal and hopefully a plan to create about 3500 new jobs by 2014. I called the Lee County Economic Development to see if we had a plan or goal. The answer is that it has been discussed. There have been several meetings recently on the effectiveness of the EDC, how to promote tourism, how to take advantage of the opportunity presented by BRAC, as well as the opportunities presented by the Second Century initiative. Sadly, there is often more talk than action, and the action has little accountability. I do know everyone in a leadership position needs to forget about protecting their turf, building their budget or staff, and worrying about who gets the credit. Everyone needs to be involved in supporting wholeheartedly the efforts of all involved in building a better community. I believe a rising tide lifts all boats and all business people, employees, retailers, motels, restaurants, the City, the County, Schools and the Chamber benefit from a

President Barack Obama picks up a “tar ball” during a tour of areas impacted by the Gulf Coast oil spill on Friday in Port Fourchon, La.
Obama’s priority? More than just an oil mess By BEN FELLER An AP News Analysis
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama keeps reassuring the nation that stopping the Gulf oil spill and limiting the fallout on the region are his top priority. Yet so is protecting the country against attack. And getting people back to work. Presidencies usually don’t allow for a dominant priority — just a list of priorities. During another hectic week, Obama made this promise: “This entire White House and this entire federal government has been singularly focused on how do we stop the leak and how do we prevent and mitigate the damage to our coastlines.” From the Gulf Coast on Friday, he said making the people and the ecosystems whole again “is our highest priority.” It was not just a policy statement but a communications imperative. Obama had to show that he’s in charge of making it end. BP bears responsibility for the crisis. Obama now owns it. Yet what’s next for the president will not be a single focus on the Gulf. His agenda ahead will be what it was: a juggle of priorities. Others will not wait while oil washes ashore in Louisiana. “Clearly, people around here would like this crisis to recalculate his agenda,” said Brian Brox, a political science professor at Tulane University in New Orleans. “They see this as nearly an existential crisis, the
way the aftermath of Katrina was. I think on the national level, however, this will probably one of those multiple balls that (Obama) has up in the air.” And what’s he juggling? n The Koreas could be edging to war. The South accuses the North of sinking one of its warships. n Israel’s prime minister visits the White House on Tuesday as Obama presses peace talks with the Palestinians. n The terror threat isn’t going away, as seen by the failed car bombing in New York City this month. n A international standoff with Iran over its nuclear program is hardening. n The economic recovery

Bob Joyce Bob Joyce is President of the Sanford Area Chamber of Commerce.
n Friday, the Employment Security Commission announced that Lee County’s unemployment rate for the month of April dropped one percent from 13.3 to 12.3. That’s great news for our local economy and for families and businesses. The human perspective behind the statistic is that about 300 people in our community have gone back to work. Gradually, our economy is improving, particularly our industrial and manufacturing sector. Small
businesses in Lee County are still feeling the pinch of this downturn; however, more paychecks will mean more money circulating in our local economy and more money being deposited in our banks. Our local banks are lending
money to small business although new businesses will have some hurdles especially when compared to the “easy money” times of two years ago. This past week, the U.S. Small Business Administration recognized a couple of local financial institutions for their lending activity to small business. The good news is that credit is available for business expansions and investment. The Federal Reserve’s Beige

PE teacher produces exercise DVD
ROCKY MOUNT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Henry Bunn loves seeing children being active. For the past 13 years, the physical education teacher at Spring Hope Elementary School has done his best to keep about 700 children a week moving in his classes. But with the exception of that weekly P.E. class, many children are not getting enough exercise, Bunn said. The resulting combination of sedentary lifestyles and bad eating habits has led to an alarming increase in childhood obesity. Bunn became fed up with the situation and decided to do something about it. His answer was to create â&#x20AC;&#x153;P.E. at Home,â&#x20AC;? an exercise DVD aimed at kindergarteners through sixth-graders at all fitness levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In class, sometimes if you have a kid who is not athletic or fit and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the moves perfectly like some of the more athletic kids, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they give their best. With this DVD, if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it perfectly,

vibrant economy. Success truly breeds success. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been invited to too many meetings where the goals were too vague, the decisions too unclear, and the accountability nonexistent. People tend to think that going to a meeting is work. Going to a meeting is preparation to work. The next meeting should be about what got accomplished and where you need to go next. In physics, work is defined as force exerted over a distance. This is expressed as Work = Force x Distance. The key is that if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel a distance (if the distance is 0), no work has been performed. So, if we get nowhere, has any work been done??? Now, in this economic climate a lot of people would disagree. Treading water in business or riding a stationary bike, they would say, requires work. Again I disagree. Treading water gets us nowhere, as does riding that bike with no wheels. What they both do is to require a lot of energy. Energy wasted on going nowhere. In business and in government, that
it is OK. There is no one there to judge them or make fun of them,â&#x20AC;? Bunn said. Teresa Lowe of Spring Hope appreciated that encouragement when she bought the DVD for her daughter, Alexys Lowe, 8, one of Bunnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students. Lowe was worried Alexys was spending too much time playing video games and not enough time being active. Since she bought it, Lowe has been doing the exercises with her daughter and has been surprised at how good of a workout it is for both of them. Bunn encourages children to exercise at their own pace, so if Alexys has to stop and rest for a minute, she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel bad about herself, her mom said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He says in the video not to push yourself further than you can, which is good. Most of the videos like that, even with the adult videos, they pressure you,â&#x20AC;? Lowe said. Bunn filmed the DVD in Febru-
ary at the Lions Club in Pilot. For roughly 45 minutes, Bunn instructs children while six of his students skip, hop, jump, gallop, leap, dance and do push-ups. Filming the DVD was hard but fun, said Allie Farmer, 11, a fifthgrader at Spring Hope. She was excited when Bunn, who also is her jump rope coach, asked her to be in the DVD. Bunn taught the students the exercises before shooting, but she already was familiar with most of them from class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty fun for me,â&#x20AC;? Allie said. For his DVD, Bunn focused on motor skills and doing short, explosive movements so the children would be challenged but not have time to become bored. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you watch children on a playground, they are not going to stay in one spot but so long. ... That is the way the video is set up. Every 30 seconds is a new move,â&#x20AC;? Bunn said.
Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to calmly handle many competing issues simultaneously is viewed as one of his strengths. He has tried to let everyone know that whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfolding in the Gulf is more than a momentary crisis. The spill, he said Friday from Grand Isle, La., is noth-
ing less than â&#x20AC;&#x153;an assault on our shores, on our people, on the regional economy, and on communities like this one.â&#x20AC;? The president is also fond of saying he will not rest until the problem at hand gets fixed. The trouble is that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always more trouble.
energy is generally costing a lot of money. We have many examples of groups and businesses actually doing something rather than meeting and talking. Several of our Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employers are local business families. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read where Frontier Spinning is expanding. Static Control has indicated that it plans to grow in the future. We recently have had conversations with a family wanting to relocate. The husband has a newly created job at the Raleigh Executive Jet Port. It has to do with installing something on planes and helicopters. Aircraft fly here just to do business with this company. So, the airport has become a place of business. The airport not only has made businesses in the region more accessible, it has become a place of private business unto itself. Can we develop more locally owned businesses? This past week was Small Business Week. I can tell you that this is not a great climate for small business because most need capital and banks are reticent to lend. Small businesses do not have the ability to sell stock and raise capital, and most arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t big enough to warrant venture
capital. So right now, if a bank canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lend it, you have to have some deep pockets to start a new business. The Pottery Festival is an unbelievable private sector civic success. If a few people can get others involved and pull that off, just think what else can be done with decisions and work, as opposed to talk. No visioning sessions, no search committee, no requests from government, just the vision and hard work of people who believed in it, and those peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to share that vision. And its proceeds actually benefit local government run schools. Amazing!! I want to remind people to support the Temple Theater in downtown Sanford. I recently attended â&#x20AC;&#x153;South Pacificâ&#x20AC;? at the Temple and a few days later saw â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wickedâ&#x20AC;? in Durham at the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC). The Temple production was as well done as Wicked and the cost much less. Sanford is truly fortunate. For over 40 years the staff at The Groce Companies has helped consumers in central North Carolina design, build and secure financing to build or buy their homes.
Boost Your Savings and Investments during â&#x20AC;&#x153;Empty Nestâ&#x20AC;? Years Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ďŹ nished paying your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college bills. Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even paid off your mortgage. So now that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in your â&#x20AC;&#x153;empty nestâ&#x20AC;? years, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about where the money is going, right? In reality, you may be caring for aging parents and possibly even dealing with â&#x20AC;&#x153;boomerangâ&#x20AC;? kids returning home. Nonetheless, at this stage of your life, you need to focus your efforts on saving and investing for the retirement lifestyle youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve envisioned. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned about whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to afford retirement, you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone. Consider the following ďŹ gures from the 2009 Retirement ConďŹ dence Survey, published by the Employee BeneďŹ t Research Institute: s *UST OF THE WORKERS SURVEYED said they are very conďŹ dent about having enough money for a comfortable retirement. This represents the lowest level since the Retirement ConďŹ dence 3URVEY BEGAN IN s 3EVENTY TWO PERCENT OF WORKERS Â&#x2C6; UP FROM IN Â&#x2C6; ARE PLANNING TO supplement their income in retirement by working for pay. These ďŹ gures are probably driven, in part, by the recent recession, but they also reďŹ&#x201A;ect a general uneasiness among workers about how well theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve saved and
invested for retirement. As you know, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to save for retirement and pay for your kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; college and make your mortgage payments. Like many people, you might have just done the best you could for all these years. But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ďŹ nished paying off some major expenses, you might have more chances to boost your retirement savings. Here are a few suggestions: s )NCREASE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO YOUR EMPLOYER SPONSORED RETIREMENT PLAN )N YOU CAN PUT UP TO INTO YOUR K B OR B PLAN OR IF YOU RE OR OLDER 9OUR CONTRIBUTIONS are typically made with pretax dollars, so the more you contribute, the lower your taxable income.

On one hand, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to own a reasonable percentage of GROWTH ORIENTED VEHICLES TO POTENTIALLY boost your retirement savings. On the other hand, if you are within, say, ďŹ ve years of retirement, you may also want to reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio, which means youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need some INCOME PRODUCING INVESTMENTS THAT CARRY a relatively lower level of investment risk.

What a terrible day
I know, not a very juicy column this week, huh? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry, but I have an excuse. I usually write these columns on Fridays, but this past Thursday I had one of the worst days of my life. Read all about it on my blog at jonbowens.wordpress.com, but hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a teaser: It involves a root canal, an near stroke, a missing dog, an allergic reaction to grass, my first ambulance ride and a trip to Central Carolina Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emergency Room. It was such a bad day that I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get mad. On Friday, the meds the doctor gave me had me knocked out most of the day, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get anything done on business in Sanford on Saturdays, since most owners are off. But I do want to say that I think things are finally starting to pick up again around Sanford, economically speaking. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news of the jobless rate drop was welcome news, and I am having less and less trouble with this column each week. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about time, I say. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m off to the Vince Gill concert in Pinehurst. Did you know he was in Pure Prairie League in the 1970s? You know, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amieâ&#x20AC;?? Blew my mind when I heard that. ing to a report released Tuesday. The company defines its economic impact as the profits receive by businesses for the search results and ads less the cost of advertising. About 39,600 companies, nonprofit groups and Web site publishers in North Carolina advertised with Google last year. The company said it had generated a total of $54 billion in economic activity in the US during 2009. Signs are pointing to other good news just over the horizon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more jobs, new investment. Forbes and Site Selection magazines both named North Carolina as the number one state for business. Our business friendly environment continues to pay off as the economy rebounds.

What’s an alligator moment?
Living in trying times
M
ark Buchanan, in Hidden in Plain Sight, tells of an interesting experience in the life of Gracie Allen, wife of George Burns. She was a comic of the first magnitude. She was also famous for her pranks and practical jokes. Sometimes people returned in kind. For example, one day a parcel arrived from a friend by special delivery. She opened the package expecting it to contain perhaps a nice gift that had been purchased on Park Avenue. Inside, however, was a baby alligator, wriggling and snapping, but still too small to do much harm. Gracie was heading out the door at the moment. As you can imagine, she was flustered about what to do with the little carnivore. So she put it in the bathtub, walked out the door, and forgot about it completely. When she arrived back home, she found a note on the counter. It was from her maid. It read: “Dear Mrs. Allen: I quit. I don’t work in no house with an alligator. I should have told you this when I started. I just never thought it would come up.” I certainly would not have anticipated such a thing happening either, and I doubt that you would have. It is not every day an alligator shows up in your bathtub. Even so, alligator moments, sooner or later, will happen in everybody’s life. We never plan for them to happen, or want them to happen, but they do happen. The important thing when you stand toe to toe with an alligator is how you respond. The easiest thing to do is what the maid did, quit. She did not even wait to ask why
imes are bad. Immorality and hatred for God seems to be in the news every day. Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham was the honorary chairman of the National Day of Prayer and in that capacity had been invited to speak at the prayer observance in the Pentagon. He was uninvited because he spoke the truth about Islam which, the last time I checked, was the justification for suicide bombers and honor killings and terrorist organizations. A large cross in a veterans war memorial in La Jolla, Calif., was ruled an offense and ordered to be taken down. The cross is where Christ died so that those soldiers could have eternal life. It’s a symbol of hope and comfort to those who visit the site. Every day we read of murders of children by parents and our own Supreme Court rules it’s constitutional to take the life of unborn babies. Husbands and wives leave each other for their own selfish reasons and half of all births in Sanford are to unwed mothers. Can it get any worse? Yes, it can, and it will. The Bible makes it clear that in the last days things will get worse. I personally believe that, barring a Great Awakening in our country, we will see sin and selfishness increase as never before. 2nd Timothy 3 tells us that in the last days men will be lov-
See Pulpit, Page 8C
See Bible, Page 4C
“…in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self…” “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.” 2 Timothy 3:1-2; Revelation 19:6

Two ring-tailed lemurs relax at Lemur Island in Asheboro.
Zoo’s most recent additions a link to ancient primates By MARTHA QUILLIN The News & Observer
ASHEBORO (AP) — The N.C. Zoo’s newest animals are a link to the most ancient primates. Lemur Island, featuring eight of the playful prosimians, opens to the public today. Six ring-tailed and two red-ruffed lemurs occupy a space that last housed Patas monkeys and, before that, baboons. At a time when legislators are struggling to come up with a budget and the zoo itself has had to return funds because of the financial crisis, finding the $100,000 needed to renovate the space and bring in new animals required some outside help. “We try to do a little something new each year,” said David Jones, director of the park, in part because so many of the 750,000 people who come to the zoo each year are repeat visitors. Some of the money for Lemur Island came from zoo revenues; the rest, from the N.C. Zoo Society and private donors. More major efforts at the zoo, such as the renovation of the polar bear exhibit planned in North America, take years and millions of dollars. But by using its seasoned and resourceful design staff, rather than hiring out work such as the construction of concrete trees, “We can do a lot with relatively little,” Jones said.

Curiosity gets the better of a ring tailed lemur as it approaches the camera in the new Lemur Island exhibit at the N.C. Zoological Park in Asheboro. The animals appear to have adapted well to their new home. “King Julian!” children shouted when one of the gray ring-tails bounced across a rock formation and climbed a tree. King Julian is a cartoon lemur from the popular movie “Madagascar” and the only lemur some people have ever seen. All lemurs originate from the island nation, where deforestation is rapidly destroying their natural habitat. The animals are considered critically endangered. North Carolina already has a lemur connection, thanks to the Duke Lemur Center in Durham. Two of the zoo’s lemurs came from the Lemur Center,

he basic R’s — reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic — in education are no longer sufficient to surviving and succeeding in today’s complex society. All of us must know more to compete and thrive. Progress in many forms, including technology, has demanded additional academic ability and specialized training and continues to ask for more. Problems with the economy, and particularly in regard to income losses and economic transitions, is forcing ongoing reassessment, realignment, and
resiliency in our personal and professional lives. Coping with challenges in this very complicated world requires an expanding skill set, including intuitive knowledge, emotional development, and spiritual understanding as well as intellectual growth. These soft skills are now tremendous attributes at work as well as at home and in the community. Today’s ever changing marketplace is a challenging turbulent field for seasoned workers as well as recent graduates. To graduates entering the em-
ployment arena here are some points to ponder: n Appreciate the basics Remember that reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic will always be important for functioning in society. Reading opens doors to vast worlds and increases knowledge while writing helps us articulate our knowledge in whatever subjects or fields we pursue. These two skills are crucial to all educational and professional endeavors. Basic ’rithmetic is necessary to balance our checkbooks, calculate

which does research, conservation and education work with the animals. The center has a breeding program, which it has used to return some animals to the wild. “They’re miraculous creatures,” Dr. Anne Yoder, director of the center, told those gathered for the dedication Friday. As she spoke, lemurs cavorted behind her, swinging delicately between branches. Yoder said lemurs are thought to have lived on Madagascar for 60 million years.

community. Learning to communicate well with others is just as important as any subject mastery or business course. n Consider the importance of passion Remember that passion and purpose are crucial components of long-term success. While there is ample advice on every aspect of getting an education and securing a job the most important suggestion I can offer to graduate is to be true to yourself. In your pursuit of health and happiness figure out what excites you and then explore opportunities to incorporate passion and purpose in your personal and professional life. n Be prepared to reinvent yourself Reinvention is the new reality show. In the past having a stable position with a reputable company was viewed as desirable, but today the norm includes multiple jobs and career changes. For veterans in the marketplace and newcomers to the working world, two important attributes are productivity and flexibility.

Will it ever get better? Thank the Lord the answer is also yes. There is coming a time when man will not rule on this earth but the Lord Jesus Christ will come to rule and reign over His people. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and He will not wait forever to return and administer justice on the earth. The last book of the
Bible tells us that the last days of this earth will end in the glorious return of her King. When Jesus rules, righteousness will shine like the sun and all men will behave as they should. Until that day the only hope for a better world is to let Jesus rule in our hearts and be Lord of our lives. The world will get worse but each person in it can choose to live for Christ and not themselves. The Bible speaks and says that the only hope for a better world is better people who love God more than themselves. Even though things may get worse, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to.

6C / Sunday, May 30, 2010 / The Sanford Herald Past clubs events Sanford Lions Club
Members of the Sanford Lions Club enjoyed two entertaining photographic exhibits presented by Jimmy Haire at their weekly meeting on May 20 at the Lions Club Fairgrounds. Local attorney Woody Seymour was program chairman and introduced the wellknown photographer and local historian. The first slide program featured outstanding photos taken at the 2008 Lee Regional Fair set to a medley of popular tunes. The second presentation consisted of a large number of old images of Sanford and Jonesboro, some as early as 1908. There were scores of past businesses and landmarks that today live only on the pages of books, files of photographs, and in the minds of those old enough to conjure up memories of the thirties, forties and fifties. And for those newcomers and too young to remember, Haire accompanied the presentation with rapidfire descriptions of each scene. Particularly of interest were major streets and intersections where narrow two-lane roads have given way to busy four-lane thoroughfares and large structures razed years ago. The changing face — as well as name — of Endor Street that is now Horner Boulevard was among the favorites. Haire was assisted in the program by daughter Allison Haire-Burris. Seymour presented Haire a Lions paperweight in appreciation for his program. Next weekend will bring the 5th Annual Sanford Lions Club Golf Tournament at Quail Ridge Golf Club and it is expected there will be some spots left for golfers interested in taking part in the fun event. There will also be a truckload of outstanding prizes including new golf clubs and all accessories. And there will be not one, but two new cars as hole-in-one prizes this year thanks to Wilkinson GM dealership here and Crossroads Ford of Cary. Anyone interested in participating can contact chairman Jim Romine at 774-1173 or any Sanford Lion. President Richard Hendley presided over the meeting. Bucky Phillips delivered the invocation and Charles Martin led the Pledge of Allegiance.
San-Lee Sunrise Rotary
President Jensen opened the meeting with the Quote of the Week: “A countryman between two lawyers is like a fish between two cats.” — Benjamin Franklin. Terry Mullen led the Rotary invocation, and Martin Davis led the Pledge of Allegiance. Club guest Atul Patel was recognized. In Good News‚ Ashley Hinman gave a bad news/good news report on Dave Merriman. Dave cut his foot while helping Hinman with a home improvement project. The good news is that Merriman is recovering, and Hinman is closely monitoring Merriman’s progress. Larry Mintz’s team did well in the Temple Theatre fundraiser golf tournament. Mike Thomas proudly described his daughter’s dance recital, and Martin Davis described with pride his daughter‚s science project. Terry Mullen announced his grandson, Hunter, performed several solo trumpet parts with a youth brass band in Mey-
mandi Hall in Raleigh. And lastly, Leslie Cox announced the San-Lee Sunrise raffle ticket made it to the last ten tickets in the Siler City Rotary raffle. In Club News‚ there will be no San-Lee Sunrise meeting on Monday, May 31st, Memorial Day. Wes Patterson will be installed as the new District 7690 District Governor on June 10th at the Colonial Country Club in Thomasville. The social hour will start at 6 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m. Charles Oldham introduced Vic Czar, Public Works Director for the City of Sanford, for a program explaining the opportunity Sanford citizens have to expand their waste water treatment plant on an existing site, with today’s regulations, lower construction cost and lower financing cost. The need for waste water improvements runs on about a 20-year cycle. The years 1973-1992 represented an upgrade cycle and the city is planning for a 1992-2012 cycle with the newly expanded plant coming on line in 2015. The area population is expected to grow at a 3.2 percent rate in the future with population pressure from both north and south. If the city plan can be carried forward both construction costs and financing costs are expected to be lower than normal. Sanford has an opportunity in that the plant can be expanded at an existing site with an established set of regulations. The project will be financed with revenue bonds, which means the users will pay for the plant. Triangle J has established the fact that Sanford water and sewer rates are mid-range for the Triangle J region. President Jensen led the Four Way Test.
Kiwanis Club of Lee County President Matt Jackson presided over the weekly meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Lee County held at Davison’s Steaks on May 19.

Happy dollars came from Battle, John Payne and Jeff Smith. Anna Lucas was the guest of Drew Lucas and Mary Sulvet returned as the guest of Abby Cameron. Susan Campbell thanked John Payne for reading at Head Start and Drew Lucas volunteered for the next week. Jimmy Tucker reported on the Kiwanis AKtion Club’s May 18th fishing outing at San-Lee Park. John Payne introduced Dr. Parker McConville. McConville reported on the recent Second Annual Downtown Sanford 5K Run/Walk that was on April 25. Proceeds from the 5K went to North Carolina Children’s Hospital, Kiwanis Family Park and Kiwanis Childrens Park.
