CRAWLING TO GLORY Diaper Derby, 4-H Dog Show big draws on penultimate day By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

LILLINGTON WOMAN STILL A TEACHER, EVEN AT AGE 93

SANFORD — With the number 40 on his back, he moved swiftly through the race’s short course and flew across the finish line, effortlessly besting his competition. Not bad for his first race, especially given that he can’t walk yet. Ten-month-old Oakley Poteet took the top prize at Saturday’s Diaper Derby, an annual event at the Lee County Fair. When asked how it felt to win, Oakley just stared and smiled, but luckily his parents were around to translate. “He’s hungry and wants a bottle, but I think he had a good time,” dad Alan Poteet said.

Now 93, May Marshbanks has devoted her life to teaching the young and improving the quality of life for the elderly. After 31 years as an educator, she went on to direct Harnett County’s Department on Aging. Full Story, page 1C

BP WELL IS NEARLY DEAD, BUT THE DISASTER ISN’T

55 years later, UNC celebrates integration

The impending death of BP’s blown-out oil will bring one piece of the catastrophe that began five months ago to an anticlimactic end — after all, the gusher was capped in July. This, though, is an important milestone for the still-weary residents of the Gulf Coast: an assurance that not so much as a trickle of oil will ever seep from the well that already has ruined so much since the catastrophe first started. The disaster began April 20, when an explosion killed 11 workers, sank a drilling rig and led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history. Full Story, Page 12A

AROUND OUR AREA CHATHAM COUNTY

Grand opening Monday for new CCCC facilities

PITTSBORO — Central Carolina Community College in Pittsboro and Chatham County jointly invite residents to attend a ribbon-cutting and open house to celebrate the opening of two major facilities on the Central Carolina campus. The event is slated from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday at 764 West St. in Pittsboro. The Chatham Community Library, which serves both as a county and community college student library, officially opened its doors on Sept. 13. The Sustainable Technologies Center houses Central Carolina’s nationally renowned programs in green education, biofuels production, green building/ renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, ecotourism and organic culinary arts. The ribbon-cutting and open house will include a ceremony at 5:30 p.m., preceded by light refreshments. “We will feature an array of local food products prepared by our culinary arts students and faculty, but we also will have local foods catered by local busi-

nesses,� said Karen Allen, provost for Central Carolina’s Pittsboro campus.

LEE COUNTY

Commissioners to discuss ethics SANFORD — Lee County commissioners will meet at 3 p.m. Monday to settle a much-discussed policy outlining how the board vets members accused of ethical lapses. County officials have been prepping the ethics policy for months since state lawmakers called for updated guidelines last year, wading through procedural issues that might arise in the case of a complaint and striking a clause that some members said unfairly targeted one commissioner. Commissioner Linda Shook, one of a minority of Republicans on the panel and chairman of the county GOP, took issue with a passage that would have banned any member from being in a position of leadership with a local political party. Supporters said that without the provision, members would be conflicted between serving their political party’s interests and those of the county residents.

SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR PLANT

Progress: Second reactor unlikely RALEIGH (MCT) — After years of talking up the nuclear renaissance, Progress Energy concedes it may never build new nuclear reactors in North Carolina. The Raleigh electric utility told state regulators this week that it is considering nuclear payment alternatives that include joint financing and co-ownership with other power companies. Progress is reassessing its nuclear options as consumer energy demand remains slack in the wake of the recession while construction costs remain high. In one possible scenario, Progress could own a stake in a nuclear plant built by another regional utility. Such an option would not require building the reactors that Progress proposed two years ago at its Shearon Harris nuclear complex northeast of Sanford. As part of its annual review of its energy needs, Progress is scaling back its nuclear ambitions for the Carolinas to one-fourth of its previous estimate in terms of power generation. Progress had previously

Thank you for your time and consideration. Thank you to the RIF Sponsors and Wal-Mart for their continued support.

Nuclear opponents hope it’s just a matter of time until the power industry reduces its nuclear options to zero. “They have clearly ditched their original plan,� said Jim Warren, director of the Durham-based N.C. Waste Awareness and Reduction Network. “The nuclear revival is flagging badly.� In the 1970s and 1980s, during the nation’s first wave of nuclear plant building, about 60 projects were cancelled or abandoned amid delays and cost-overruns.

CAUTION IN INDUSTRY Nuclear industry officials said they can’t afford to repeat that fiasco, and current expansion plans have proceeded much more cautiously. Earlier this year, for example, Progress signaled it would delay building two reactors in Florida. Meanwhile, two power companies that had proposed building a

total of three reactors have cancelled their plans. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is still reviewing 16 applications for a total of 25 reactors, including four reactors by Progress and two by Charlotte-based Duke Energy. Duke is also reviewing financing alternatives but has not scaled back its nuclear projections in the regulatory filing it made this month. The estimated price for a single reactor has risen to as much as $10 billion. “You’re essentially pledging your entire company to raise capital to build two nuclear units,� said James McLawhorn, director of the electric division at the Public Staff, the state’s consumer advocacy agency in utility rate cases. “All the utilities are interested in some type of regional ownership to spread the cost and risk of building these units.� — Raleigh News & Observer

projected a need for more than 2,100 megawatts of nuclear power — requiring a new pair of reactors at Shearon Harris by 2020. Now the company expects to use just 550 megawatts of nuclear energy by 2021 — half the power output of a single reactor. Progress spokesman Mike Hughes said it’s too early to tell whether new reactors will be built at the Shearon Harris site or elsewhere. But he said the company projects an 18 percent increase in energy demand over 15 years and remains committed to boosting its reliance on nuclear power. “It is no means an about-face on our nuclear strategy,� Hughes said. “Based on what we know right now, this is our best estimate on what nuclear will be added and when.� Progress files 15-year energy forecasts and strategies every year with the N.C. Utilities Commission. Two years ago Progress suggested a co-ownership option in which the company owned 80 percent of two nuclear reactors. This time, the co-ownership stake is down to 25 percent.

Top dogs steal the show in 4-H event By ALEXA MILAN

WESLEY BEESON / The Sanford Herald

Arlene Jackson and her pug “Winston� show their wrinkles in the look-a-like contest during the dog show competition at the Lee Regional Fair Saturday afternoon.

SANFORD — His ultimate goal is to appear on “The Late Show with David Letterman,� but until then, Winston is strengthening his athletic and artistic skills at the Lee County Fair. The multi-talented pug was one of six dogs competing at this year’s 4-H dog show, sponsored by the Lee County Cooperative Extension and hosted by the Homegrown Kids of the 4-H Club. The arena barn at the Lions Club Fairgrounds housed the event. “It’s not a real serious dog show,� said Bill Stone, extension agent for 4-H and Youth Development. “It’s something we can really have fun

with.� The 4-H kids judged the dog show, telling jokes to the crowd while the judges deliberated and awarding brightlycolored ribbons to the dogs. The show has the standard best in show prize, but other areas of competition include best trick, biggest paws, longest tail and best costume. “There’s something for every dog,� Stone said. “It’s just a stressfree event where we can kick back and enjoy it.� Arlene Jackson, Winston’s owner, said Winston’s favorite event is best trick. The pintsized UNC-Chapel Hill fan can dunk a small basketball into a low hoop, and he can play a song on a toy piano. “They’ll learn just about anything you want them to do,� Jackson said. “He was scared to death of (the piano) at first. It’s a gradual process.� Winston took the top prize in the best trick category for his rendition

of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,� as well as first place in the look alike contest. A little dachshund named Mimi stole the show during the best costume competition with her hot dog ensemble, beating out dogs dressed as a cow and a pumpkin. Mimi’s costume earned the firsttime competitor her first ribbon. “She’s got a hot dog costume and she’s a hot dog, so we’re hoping she’ll win that one,� Mimi’s owner, Emily Jordan, said before the show. A giant great dane named Chloe, a 4-H dog show veteran, took home the most ribbons, including the coveted best in show prize. Her other victories included biggest paws, longest ears, biggest dog and longest tail. Chloe’s owners, Jeff and Danita Russell said they didn’t expect her to win the competition because, unlike Winston, tricks are not her forte. “She just eats and takes up space,� Jeff Russell said. In years past, Chloe was a little skittish because all of the noise in the barn scared her. But Danita Russell said Chloe has always been a loving dog and enjoys competing at the fair. “I think she’s happy,� Danita Russell said of Chloe’s best in show win. “I think people like big dogs, and she’s getting better with the kids.�

research institution. “Those days were probably the most stressful of my life,” said Ralph Frasier, 72, during a visit Friday to campus. “I can’t say that I have many happy memories.” For some of those joining the celebration, the anniversary isn’t only a chance to commemorate the bravery of three Durham teenagers who stood up to Jim Crow laws just a year after the landmark Brown vs. Board of Education decision that outlawed segregation. The Rev. William Barber, president of the state’s NAACP chapter, was the speaker at a dinner praising the three as heroes Friday night. Barber sees their situation as a lesson in a time when issues of racial diversity in public schools have turned into a fiery public debate in Wake County. “We need to remember history, but not to become angry or bitter,” Barber told The Associated Press. “But by plumbing the depths of

Derby winner Oakley Poteet, 10 months.

Diaper Continued from Page 1A

Hosted by Lee County High School’s early childhood development class, the Diaper Derby featured babies from across Lee County crawling to the finish line. Some of the competition’s eight crawlers were energetic, while others quickly grew disinterested. “It’s a tradition,” said Bebe Mitchell, who teaches the early childhood development class at Lee County High School. “It’s a rich coming together of the community.” Parents positioned themselves at the finish line and eagerly encouraged their children to crawl toward them. Lisa Poteet, Oakley’s mother, used a blue balloon to pique her son’s interest, while Jennifer Jones, whose daughter Brianna finished second, opted for a stuffed dog. For Jones, the Diaper Derby has been a family tradition that she said will end with Brianna’s secondplace prize. “My son did it two years ago” Jones said. “I’m just glad (Brianna) finished.” Mitchell and her class have organized the Diaper Derby for the past five years. She said her students are always excited about it, and she is proud of the hard work they do in partnership with the

Sanford Lions Club and Lee County Cooperative Extension. Mitchell’s husband, Dick O’Donnell, also serves as the event’s emcee. O’Donnell said while researching other Diaper Derbies, he and Mitchell discovered the race for pint-sized participants reaches far beyond Sanford. “In the Midwest, they have first prizes of $10,000,” O’Donnell said. “It’s a big national thing.” The Poteets may not have received a $10,000 grand prize, but Oakley and his family were thrilled with his win nonetheless. “I’m excited and very proud,” Lisa Poteet said. “I thought it was something cute, and he’ll only be little once.”

history, we can recognize the obstructions that try to stop the flow of justice.” The Wake County Board of Education voted this year to scrap the school’s longstanding plan that aimed to achieve socio-economic balance in student populations through busing. The legacy of the civil rights movement has been contested ground in the debate, with advocates of ending the policy invoking the example of Martin Luther King Jr., a comparison that has outraged Barber and other critics of the new policy. For the Frasiers and Brandon, though, that momentous day in 1955 can seem very distant from the present day. As important as it was, none of the three have any distinct memories from it. “We were kids,” said LeRoy Frasier, 73. “I was probably thinking about when we were going to eat.” All three were students at Durham’s Hillside High School when they applied to UNC-Chapel Hill in 1955. Their applications were denied, and the Board of Trustees swiftly passed a resolution barring the

admission of blacks as undergraduates. The law school had been integrated four years earlier after a federal lawsuit. A federal court in Greensboro then struck down the racist policy for undergraduates, and the three young men — two were 18, while Ralph turned 17 on the day of the court decision — registered for classes. “It’s one of three or four critical events in the eventual unraveling of segregation in North Carolina,” said Archie Ervin, the university’s chief diversity officer. “It signaled a change that now African-Americans could enroll at the flagship institution.” On that distant September day, the three didn’t encounter the angry mobs or politicians standing in the doorways of college buildings that greeted other blacks integrating colleges in the South, but they

quickly learned there were places they couldn’t go, and people who wouldn’t be seen with them. “There were some people who were friendly, but there was reluctance on the part of some who didn’t feel comfortable having their friends see them being friendly to us,” Ralph Frasier said. All three eventually moved away from North Carolina. Ralph Frasier splits his time between Jacksonville, Fla. and Columbus, Ohio; his brother, LeRoy, lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.; and Brandon lives in Houston. The men are touched by the weekend of tributes, but accolades were far from their minds in 1955. “I didn’t think of myself as a hero or anything like that,” Brandon said. “I’m understanding more about what it meant now than when it was occurring.”

6A / Sunday, September 19, 2010 / The Sanford Herald

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

SUNDAY THUMBS THUMBS UP: BIG ARRESTS THIS WEEK A few kudos go out to the Sanford Police Department this week for a few headline-grabbing arrests the past few weeks. Monday, the department arrested two men being held in Cumberland County on drug charges for allegedly using an AK47 assault rifle while robbing a Sanford bank and two convenience stores in August. The week prior, SPD arrested three for their alleged involvement in a rash of breakins in the Rosemount-McIver Historic District near down-

town Sanford. Law enforcement doesn’t always get the respect it deserves. Unfortunately, most police officers or sheriff’s deputies don’t appear in the news — television, newspaper, Internet, etc. — unless they’re wounded in the line of duty or worse. The police can’t always stop crime from happening, but it’s good to know we can come to count on arrests when they happen.

THUMBS DOWN: CHALK PRANK FALLS FLAT OK, so “CSI”-quality it wasn’t, but the chalked outline of a (presumably dead) body in front of the headquarters of the

Lee County Republican Party on Moore Street over the weekend definitely was a reminder that election time is near. GOP officials viewed the drawing as a prank and didn’t report it to police, although word is suspects have been identified. The drawing was done on the eve of the revelation of new “old” news — as some have called it — about City Councilman Mike Stone, a Republican who’s seeking to unseat Democrat Jimmy Love Sr. in the N. C. House race in our district. (Stone was a defendant in a 2003 illegal pirating lawsuit brought on by DirecTV, and may – or may not – have paid

a $10,000 fine in the case. He claims not to remember if he paid the fine, but court records say it was “satisfied.”) As far as the drawing, we hope it’ll be laughed off and not repeated, and both sides will keep their noses clean between now and Election Day on Nov. 2. The chalk outline wasn’t really that funny. Now, had the body been drawn holding a satellite dish (as one local Republican suggested to us), THAT would have been funny. Still ... let he who is without sin cast the first Stone. Wait. That doesn’t work either ...

THUMBS DOWN: PARKING AT THE FAIR

RE: BILLY LIGGETT’S SEPT. 12 COLUMN ON BLOGGER’S POSTED PHOTO OF REPORTER Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me get this straight. If The Herald doesn’t get its way, it’s going to take its ball and go home? What’s next? If someone takes too many pictures of a reporter at a sporting event that you don’t care for, are you then going to whine about that as well and stop going to those? You preach about freedom of the press and free speech but apparently if it only applies to you. It’s ok to write a non-story and plaster it on the front page to let us all know that Mike Stone owes DirecTV no money and has been convicted of absolutely nothing, but it’s not OK for a blogger to find fault with something or someone at The Herald who attended a public meeting? Gotcha. So when someone looks up a Wiki definition of hypocrisy, the phrase “see The Sanford Herald” needs to be added to it. — terryt Mr Liggett, this is perhaps the best written opinion piece I’ve seen in months. Your points are precisely on target and very well defended. I especially appreciate how you expose both professional and personal impacts of (the blogger’s) boorish behavior. This kind of journalism will keep me coming back to The Herald for my local news and opinions. Keep it up. — We_the_People

RE: SUIT SURFACES SHOWING FINE AGAINST HOUSE CANDIDATE What do you do when you are a desperate incumbent politician who is trailing in the polls? You send your “pee-ons” out to find something you hope will reverse your steep slide with the voters. The pee-ons then send “news” tips to the media. Mr. Stone, keep doing what you are doing — campaigning on the issues. Lee County voters know North Carolina is headed in the wrong direction, that there has been a culture of corruption and pay-to-play in Raleigh, and Mr. Love is part of the problem. — ProudConservativeRepublican

have been put to the test in recent years, including recent deployments to Iraq. That includes the Sanford-based Delta Company. Area citizens should be offering up their grateful thanks to these brave soldiers who have so valiantly served their country. Today, they’re inviting their homefront heroes to a gathering at O.T. Sloan Park. As Sgt. Michael Lytton told The Herald: “We’re going to try to make it into a family day.” The Herald reported earlier this week the guardsmen will present plaques, certificates and other awards to their supporters. That’s a very nice thing, but shouldn’t be unexpected. After all, these guardsmen — who are willing to give back to their country — no doubt are just as giving to those who have supported their efforts.

Always playin’ favorites

T

he best column I’ve read in a while will never be seen in print if I have anything to say about it. And, well, I do ... being the editor and all. The Herald’s new sports editor, Jonathan Owens, penned a column this week in response to criticism against the sports department over the years for “playing favorites” to Southern Lee High School over its cross-town rivals, Lee County High School. That criticism did see print in a letter to the editor this week by Sandy Whitehead of Broadway, who was upset because a recent Lee County High School win made “second billing” on our Sept. 11 sports page to a Southern Lee loss on the gridiron. “What do the kids at Lee County High School have to do in this town to get some recognition?” Whitehead wrote. “I understand that we should support all the kids, no matter the extent of their success. But let’s not slight the kids when they work hard and achieve it.” Owens’ column, which he decided to pull before I even read it, answers that question quite well. And I’ll get to that answer in a minute. Owens’ column also points out that this is a criticism we’ve received (from both schools, mind you) ever since Lee County became a two-school town. And it’s not just football. And it’s not just sports. And it’s not just schools. If I had a nickel for every time Republicans and Democrats claim favoritism on our part, I’d have a lot of nickels. That criticism usually comes when an article — whether it be flattering or unflattering — appears about one particular party. As long as the criticism comes out evenly from both sides over time, then I feel like we’re doing our jobs. And it’s not just politics, either. A gentleman asked me this week if I published the photo of the Junior Miss Lee Regional Fair Pageant winner on Page 6A because she was black. The photo of the Miss Lee Regional Fair winner was on the front page, and she was white. I explained that the bigger pageant got the “better” photo placement. I explained that there were several “smaller” pageants that didn’t make the paper at all. But before you criticism the critic, this gentleman explained to me that decades ago, he delivered The Herald and often saw, he said, instances where The Herald slighted black people. Understand the “way things were” back then, I don’t doubt that he’s right. But I assured him that in this instance, he was wrong. We weren’t playing favorites. And it’s not just pageants, either. You get the point. You have to have a thick skin to be in the

Perhaps it should be viewed as a compliment. It seems our little regional fair has gotten too big for its britches. Parking Friday night at the Lions Club Fairgrounds was near impossible ... many waited in a line stretching from the fairgrounds to Hawkins Avenue and beyond, and when they reached the fair, the open spots were sparse. Again, this is a “good problem” ... but one we hope is fixed as our award-winning fair continues to grow.

Letters to the Editor What makes a great man? To the Editor:

Billy Liggett Sanford Herald Editor Contact Billy Liggett by e-mail at bliggett@sanfordherald.com media for a number of reasons. People love to point out your mistakes — I have one subscriber (God bless him or her) — who mails us clippings of typos and other errors when they happen. I know what you’re thinking ... “How can he afford it?” Har har. That thick skin helps me take the criticism ... allows me to read the comments posted after each column without a bottle of cyanide in a martini glass sitting next to me. As long as I know our intentions are well-meaning, I can live with the criticism. And in the case of Southern Lee favoritism ... I know it’s absolutely not true. So why did we publish a bunch of losers instead of the winners (to paraphrase the critiques)? Because Lee County High School and Southern Lee High School alternate home games for the most part, and when one team is home, we staff that game with a reporter and photographer, and when the other team is away, we staff that game with just a writer. Page design usually works to where the game with the photo gets bigger “play.” We’re proud of Lee County’s success this year, and even though Southern Lee’s football program has fallen on hard times, we’re proud of them as well. When Lee County is in the playoffs this year, I promise you ... we’ll blow it out of the water. The coverage will be fantastic. I understand Ms. Whitehead’s anger. I played high school football in Texas, and we were always the “second school” in my local newspaper’s coverage because they were Class 4A and we were Class 2A. We NEVER got top billing ... didn’t help, of course, that the 4A school went on to the state finals that year. I appreciated the letter, too, because it got it all out in the open. Owens’ answer to it was more effective than mine, but also a lot more tongue-incheek and much funnier. So he scrapped it and went with a UNC column. By the way, did you know he’s a Tar Heel grad? (pssst ... I think he hates Duke, too)

On Sept. 15, I attended a memorial celebration for a friend. The church in Goldston was packed with friends and family. Sam Cope was a good man and well thought of by many. But was he a great man? Well, that depends on your measurement. For many, he fit that assessment quite well. His life was not measured by fortune and fame. It was measured by what he did. He did not entertain the masses, sing great songs or represent anyone in political office. He did make a swing out of scrap lumber and wire in El Salvador for children in a small town. Sam served our country in the military in Vietnam and continued in the National Guard until he retired. He served the students of Central Carolina Community College for years in many roles including V.A. representative and admissions counselor. He helped rebuild churches that were wiped out in Mississippi by Hurricane Katrina. Sam and his wife Nancy served their neighbors. They soon figured out that their neighbors were not those who lived in Sanford, North Carolina or the United States. They were those who were in need anywhere. He did not seek government aid; he worked with what he had and went from there. He helped rebuild a church in Tarboro that was destroyed by Hurricane Floyd long after the recovery effort had ended. Sam and others like him do not need to need to be told what they are responsible to do. They know because they can see the need. They have the desire to make things better. In this era of national finger pointing following natural and man-made disasters, there are those who just do what is needed. They do not worry about who gets credit or fame. They do not just count on the government to use their tax dollars in some manner. They know they can fill the need and make the difference. Sam made a difference in Sanford, in Mississippi and in El Salvador. We have a lot to learn from a life such as his. Faith, hope and charity are not just words when they become a way of life. We cannot sit back and wait for “someone” to do something. We need to be the ones to do it. Sam was a good man. Was he a great man? He was a man who lived his mission and made a difference. I would say that makes a great man. He will be missed. Godspeed, Sam!

Boys, girls are different

Letter to the Muslim world

D

W

hen I was in seventh grade, I was the only girl on the junior high math team. I wasn’t the best, and I wasn’t the worst. But the experience of standing out in such an obvious way — the loneliness, the geekiness, the sitting alone on the bus, all of it combined — left the math team, after just a few meets, all boys. So it was with some concern that, many years later, I stood behind the one-way glass looking into my son’s kindergarten class and watched as the girls and boys neatly divided themselves for free play: boys with blocks and computers; girls with paint and clay and art supplies. My daughter went to an all-girls high school, and while she’s majoring in English in college, she (unlike me) did take calculus in high school. My son attends a coed high school, where, 12 years after that kindergarten class, he is taking advanced calculus in a class with exactly one girl in it — a transfer from my daughter’s all-girls school. I don’t know whether it’s nature or nurture, and frankly, I’m not sure it matters. Sloppy talk about genetics — and that’s what most of it is — doesn’t help anyone. It ignores the fact that there are many girls (even if not an equal number) who are just as drawn to math as boys, and it discourages the ones who are from pursuing it, from doing and being their best. Even now, decades later, I remember some of the boys explaining to me that the reason I was the only girl on the math team was because girls’ brains just weren’t as good at math and science as theirs. The idea that people keep saying those things is, to me, pretty horrifying. My brain was fine for math. My environment stank. We can’t change nature, but we can change nurture. If there’s anything I’ve learned in the past decades, it’s that leaving everything alone — letting the kids choose their free play, as it were — changes nothing. No one actively discouraged the girls in my son’s school from taking math. I know these mothers and fathers. They understand, as do I, that while we want to encourage our kids to find their passions and pursue work they love, there are more opportunities in engineering than in studio art, more jobs to be had down the road with technical knowledge than with musical talent. I love the John Adams quote about how he studied war so his children could study law and medicine so that their children could study art and music. I’m in the middle there, making my living as a lawyer, and I’m proud that my daughter is a published novelist and loves English. But I know that the road ahead is easier for engineers than it is for novelists. Not encouraging girls to get to the top in math and science means not encouraging them to pursue careers whose doors remain wide open even in this recession. The question is: How? I’m still a firm believer in the value of an all-girls education. In high school, instead of advanced math or science, I focused on becoming a rather skilled baton twirler, which impressed my daughter when she was about 5, but has never come in handy otherwise in the past few decades. What “saved” me from pursuing a career on a college cheer squad (nothing against cheer squads) was a scholarship from Wellesley College, the only women’s college I applied to, which didn’t have cheer squads. Financial need left me no choice but to accept their generous offer, and while I was miserable at the time, it changed my life. Of course, all-girls schools and women’s colleges are not for everyone. Even so, my own anecdotal experience and the research I’ve seen suggest they continue to have a vital role to play. And as more and more big public high schools are split up into smaller “academies,” girls academies should play a vital role. So should experiments with all-girls classes and girls teams — the math and science version of girls athletics. Doing nothing won’t do. Even I can tell that the numbers don’t add up.

Liberal crackup C

harles Krauthammer, in his Washington Post column (8/27/10), said, “Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed,” pointing out that overwhelming majorities of Americans have repudiated liberal agenda items such as: Obamacare, Obama’s stimulus, building an Islamic center and mosque near ground zero, redefinition of marriage to include same-sex marriage, lax immigration law enforcement and vast expansion of federal power that includes unprecedented debt and deficits. The nation’s elite and the news media see being against the Obama-led agenda as being racist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, mean-spirited and insensitive. Paul Krugman, columnist for The New York Times, has a different twist expressed in “It’s Witch-Hunt Season” (8/29/10). Krugman says that the last time a Democrat sat in the White House, Bill Clinton, he faced a witch-hunt by his political opponents. “Now,” Krugman says, “it’s happening again -- except that this time it’s even worse,” asking, “So where is this rage coming from? Why is it flourishing? What will it do to America?” Professor Krugman and others among America’s elite blame some of the rage on talk-show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. They are only partially correct. What talk shows have accomplished is they’ve ended the isolation of many ordinary Americans. When the liberal mainstream media dominated the airwaves, Americans who were against race and sex quotas were made to feel as though they were racists and sexists. Americans who were against big government were portrayed as mean-spirited and uncaring. What talk radio and the massive expansion in non-traditional media have done is not only end the isolation, but more important, the silence amongst ordinary Americans. Krugman says that what we’re witnessing is “political craziness.” Therefore, the overwhelming majority of Americans who think our borders ought to be secure and think we should have the right to determine who enters our country are politically crazy. Americans who can find nothing in the U.S. Constitution granting Congress the power to take over our health care system are politically crazy. Americans who think a mosque should not be built in the shad-

ows of the Muslim-destroyed World Trade Center are simply religious bigots. By the way, those who oppose the building are not saying there’s no legal or constitutional right to do so any more than they would say a person has no legal or constitutional right to curse his parents, but neither is a good idea. In Thomas Sowell’s column on the topic (8/31/10), he reminds us that “If we all did everything that we have a legal right to do, we could not even survive as individuals, much less as a society.” Krugman predicts that political craziness, and by inference crazy Americans, will result in a Republican takeover of the House of Representatives and play chicken with the federal budget. Chicken with the budget is precisely what Defundit.org has called for. Already they’ve obtained the pledges of 165 congressional candidates not to fund any part of Obamacare. While America’s liberal elite have not reached the depths of tyrants such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler, they share a common vision and, as such, differ only in degree but not kind. Both denounce free markets and voluntary exchange. They are for control and coercion by the state. They believe they have superior wisdom to the masses and they have been ordained to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us. They, like any other tyrant, have what they see as good reasons for restricting the freedom of others. Their agenda calls for the elimination or attenuation of the market. Why? Free markets imply voluntary exchange. Tyrants do not trust that people behaving voluntarily will do what the tyrants think they should do. Therefore, they seek to replace the market with economic planning control and regulation.

ear Muslim World, I am writing you today as an American citizen who is deeply embarrassed by current events in my country. First, let me say that I am not representing anyone. I can’t claim to speak for anyone but myself, though I am certain that many others feel as I do. I want to address the current controversy over the proposed Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero and the so-called “pastor” in Florida who had been threatening to burn a Quran. I’ll begin with the easier of the two: Please ignore Pastor Terry Jones. I wish we had. He may live in the U.S. He may have a building with a cross on it and call it a church. And he may know 50 or so people who care what he says, but he’s nobody. His threat to burn a Quran was a desperate attempt to get attention and nothing more. Anyone can call himself a pastor, but there’s a reason Jones leads such a tiny congregation. We have a long tradition in this country of letting people speak their thoughts in public, but we don’t take many of them very seriously. We laugh at characters like Jones but figure it’s better to let fools reveal themselves in the light of day than to let them fester in the dark. I know this is hard to understand. We have trouble with it sometimes, too. Freedom is a messy affair and sometimes people get their feelings hurt, but we think the trade-off is worth the aggravation. What we hope you understand is that most Americans were appalled by Jones’ proposal, too. Many of us would like for him to crawl back under his rock and stay there, never to be heard from again. Alas, our laws do not forbid stupidity. A few decades ago, Jones would be standing on a fruit crate on a street corner, where children would point at him and be scolded by their parents: “It’s not nice to make fun of crazy people.” Today, thanks to the miracle of mass communication, he can command a broad, if undeserved, audience. What our laws do not require, of course, is that we give him our attention, and that’s where we have failed each other and ourselves. As a member of the news media, I am sorry we handed him a megaphone, and I apologize. Please be patient. In a few days, he will be forgotten. Of more pressing concern, and less easily resolved, is the controversy in this country about the proposed Islamic cultural center. I understand the sensitivity, as I’m sure many of you do. When we were attacked by terrorists nine years ago, our hearts were broken. They still are. Nevertheless, we don’t hold all Muslims responsible for what happened any more than all Christians should be held responsible for what Pastor Jones has been saying. Muslims also died when the World Trade Center towers collapsed. To say that an Islamic center can’t be built near Ground Zero is to say that all Muslims are to blame. I don’t think most Americans believe this even though a majority now say they would prefer the center be built elsewhere. This can’t be explained rationally because this is purely an emotional response. Obviously, Muslims have the same right to worship when and where they please, just as any other group in America. The same rules of tolerance that allow a Florida pastor to preach his message also allow Muslims to preach theirs. We may never be able to agree on some things. That is life. But let us all agree to some terms. Let’s agree not to tolerate hatred -- toward Muslims, Jews, Christians, atheists or any others. Let’s agree not to use inflammatory language. Let’s agree to call out and condemn those who would incite riot, whether it’s an imam who orders the death of a cartoonist or the preacher who wants to burn another man’s holy book. Let’s agree that sometimes we will disagree but that none of this makes any sense if worshiping the creator means we must destroy each other in the process. Anyone who believes in God can’t also believe that his divine plan included his creation’s mutual destruction. Peace be upon us all. Or as we say around here, God bless.

Fayetteville police say 2 people killed in crash

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Two people have died after the car they were riding in near Fayetteville hit another car. Fayetteville police said in a news release that the crash happened early Saturday morning when the driver of a Toyota pickup truck was speeding and tried to pass another car. The truck rear-ended the other car and crashed into a bridge. The two people in the Toyota were killed. The two people riding in the other car were uninjured. The identities of those killed was withheld until family members could be notified.

Police looking for motive in Asheville murder-suicide

ASHEVILLE (AP) — Investigators say an East Asheville man shot and killed his wife before killing himself. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that the bodies of 50-year-old Diana McGovern and her 51-year-old husband, Bill, were found in their home Thursday night. Police Capt. Wade Wood said investigators are trying to determine how long the two had been dead. Diana McGovern’s co-workers called police after she failed to show up for work for several days. Police say there was no history of domestic violence calls to home. Neighbor Melissa Chapman told the newspaper that the couple did not get along very well and that Diana McGovern would call her after Bill McGovern went to sleep. Chapman said the couple

Weekend for apes scheduled for North Carolina Zoo ASHEBORO (AP) — Gorillas and chimpanzees at the North Carolina Zoo are getting their annual weekend to bask in the spotlight. The zoo’s third annual “Great Ape Weekend� began Saturday and will continue through today. Adults and children can participate in a variety of activities, including making a gorilla nest, “foraging� for food and talking one-on-one with chimpanzee and gorilla keepers. Visitors to the zoo also can learn about endangered apes and ways to help their wild cousins during presentations from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at overlooks or on pathways near the gorilla, chimpanzee and lemur exhibits. Other staff presentations will focus on apes in literature, comparing human strength to that of apes and the latest information on Nori, a new baby chimp born at the zoo in August.

District reviews student restraint FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — The Cumberland County school system says it will review its policy on how students are physically restrained after a teacher has been accused of breaking the arm of a 5-year-old. School superintendent Frank Till told The Fayetteville Observer that the first investigation will be to determine whether the 57-yearold teacher whose class has children with emotional disabilities followed the district’s policies.

Till said Jackie Bennett has been reassigned to a job that doesn’t involve working with students until the school system’s investigation is complete. Bennett also faces assault and child abuse charges after last week’s incident. He was released on bail and has not commented on the case.

Police investigating death of Greenville business owner GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Police are investigating the death of a Greenville business owner whose body was found outside his office. Multiple media outlets reported that 59-year-old Walter Clay Malloy was found dead Saturday morning. Investigators would not say how Malloy died. His body was found inside a fenced area behind Clay’s Wrecker Service. Malloy’s son, Clay Jr., told WCTI-TV in New Bern that his father was a helpful man who cared about his customers.

Police: New Hill teen murder suspects lacked emotion RALEIGH (MCT) — Two of the four teens accused of having a hand in the death of Matthew Silliman were emotionally flat as they revealed details of the bizarre circumstances to police officers. Law enforcement officers testified on the fifth day of the first-degree murder trial of Ryan Patrick Hare, the 19-year-old who prosecutors contend masterminded a plot to kill Silliman, a troubled Eagle Scout and Apex High School student. The investigators’ testimony covered what they did from Nov. 26, the day Silliman was reported missing by his parents, to Dec. 2, when the teen was found dead in a vacant home on a New Hill horse farm in southwestern Wake County. Though Hare is on trial, the officers testified about their encounters with Al-

legra Dahlquist, Aadil Khan and Drew Shaw, three other teens accused in the case. They said Dahlquist and Khan were amazingly composed when they recounted what happened. The investigators’ testimony, at times, bolstered the prosecution’s case that Hare was the planner of the sinister scheme to kill Silliman, an 18-year-old who had grown close to Dahlquist, Hare’s girlfriend at the time. At other times, the investigators recalled conversations with codefendants that propped up arguments by Robert Padavano, the defense attorney representing Hare. Padavano contends that Hare was not the orchestrator of an evil plot. Hare, Padavano argued, was manipulated by his girlfriend Dahlquist and good friend Khan to go along with a plan that re-

sulted in assisted suicide. The body of Silliman, who struggled with bipolar disorder, was found Dec. 2 inside a sleeping bag in the bathroom of a home on a New Hill horse farm owned by the Dahlquist family. Prosecutors believe he died Nov. 30 after several hours with the teens accused of having a hand in his death. On the day police found Silliman’s body and pulled Khan into the police station to recount what happened, investigators said the teen was remarkably unfazed. “He was very nonchalant about it,� Brown, the Apex investigator, testified. “It all struck us as very odd about how calm and collected he was, just standing there, rocking back and forth, talking about it.� — Raleigh News & Observer

Circus performer finds bliss in the ’burbs By JOSH SHAFFER The News & Observer of Raleigh

RALEIGH (AP) — Zay Weaver feels a powerful tingle when she’s chained, gagged, wrapped in a straitjacket and stuffed inside a piano — an act that makes her Harry Houdini’s twin but for the streaky blond hair. At 26, Weaver she so enjoys fire-eating that she keeps a can of Coleman camp fuel and a funnel in the back of her Saturn, and if no one is looking, she’ll

light a Kevlar torch and swallow the flame like a marshmallow. But these are recession-strangled days, and stuntwoman gigs don’t always drop from the sky. So Weaver started a side job: dangling upsidedown by her feet while suspended 16 feet in the air, spinning like a kid’s gyroscope. Come see her at Aradia Fitness in Raleigh or Cary, and she’ll teach you yoga for daredevils. “I love what I do,” she said, having just moved to North Raleigh from Kalamazoo, Mich., following a mechanical engineer boyfriend. “To me, it’s really my way of being able to give back.” As a theater student in Michigan, she imagined herself landing in Hollywood, sweating the auditions, savoring the bit parts, living in one-room squalor on a well-trod path leading either to stardom or waitressing. But instead, she met Allison Williams, cofounder of the Kalamazoo-based Aerial Angels, and on a lark one day

Zay Weaver demonstrates a move for students Nick Fields and Julie Moore at Aradia Fitness in Raleigh. Weaver climbed up a 24foot trapeze and learned to swing. “By my toes,” she explained. “I took to it.” Once she became a full-fledged Angel, performing mostly at Renaissance fairs, fireeating seemed a natural follow-up. So one day, she lowered a lit torch to her face and ... Poof!

“I lost my nose hair,” she recalls. “You never know how much facial hair a woman has until you smell it cooking.” Ingesting fire fumes exacts the damage of a daylong drinking binge on your liver, but to Weaver, the important thing is to avoid the fuel that tastes of paint thinner and aim for the soapy variety. This preference has gotten her thrown out of more than one

Wal-Mart for unscrewing the cap and sniffing before purchase. But this is insignificant penance considering the pageantry afforded by life with a traveling circus. In between straitjacket escapes, flame feats and hoop tricks, Weaver has gazed on the skyline of Dubai and the alpine peaks of Switzerland — both so spectacular that even a circus performer doubts they

are real. It didn’t take much to get more grounded after six years spent with a team of fire-eating aerobats, with many hours spent crammed inside a 1999 Toyota Camry. But now Zay Weaver — “Zay” is short for Lindsay — feels rooted, and she likes it. During Raleigh Wide Open, the Oak City’s annual block party, she could see Fayetteville Street end-to-end from her 22-foot perch. It looked like home from up there. I met her in the parking lot of a Panera Bread, but when she lit a torch and swallowed it, she might as well have been performing from a Persian bazaar, flanked by cobras in baskets instead of shoppers in Plymouth Voyagers. “I have a prehensile uvula,” she boasted, showing off her onstage patter and her knowledge of throat anatomy, “and when I stick this in my mouth, it’s going to wrap itself around and extinguish the flame.” It doesn’t matter if Weaver performs in a North Carolina fitness club rather than a thieves’ market or a gypsy party, especially not considering that Aradia Fitness specializes in pole dancing and other brands of sensual fitness. She still feels a tingle in suburbia, hears the applause in a parking lot and delights in a gasp from a world unaccustomed to everyday thrills.

NEW YORK CITY

Muslim summit planned over Islamic center NEW YORK (AP) — A proposed Islamic center near ground zero is slowly being embraced by some Muslims who initially were indifferent about the plan, partly in response to a sense that their faith is under attack. A summit of U.S. Muslim organizations is scheduled to begin Sunday in New York City to address both the project and a rise in anti-Muslim AP photo sentiments and rhetoric Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, executive director of the Cordothat has accompanied ba Initiative, addresses the Council on Foreign Relations, the nationwide debate Monday in New York. over the project.

hailing from opposite ends of the globe. They rarely speak with one voice. Yet after a pastor in Florida injected himself into the debate by threatening to burn copies of the Quran, U.S. Muslims stirred. “I think most Muslims outside New York City are more concerned about the backlash than the actual center, which most of them will never directly benefit from,� said Shahed Amanullah, the editor-in-chief of the website altmuslim. com and a group of other Islam-themed sites. “Grass-roots support is indeed building,� he said, “but that is probably more due to the pushback against the general hostile climate.� The center’s proposed location two blocks from the World Trade Center site has upset some relatives of Sept. 11 victims and led to angry demands that it be moved. Critics say the site of mass murder by Islamic extremists is no place for

an Islamic institution. Rauf has called for the 13-story Islamic center to be open to people of all faiths, while his co-leader of the project, Manhattan real estate developer Sharif El-Gamal, has stressed its non-religious aspects, which include a health club and culinary school. The summit comes as some supporters of the center have encouraged its organizers to include prayer space for Jews, Christians and other religious groups as a way of countering critics who say it will be a monument to Islamic supremacy. Julie Menin, the chairwoman of the Manhattan community board that endorsed the project months ago, said she will meet with Rauf to discuss the interfaith possibility in the coming weeks. “They had always

talked about giving the center an interfaith concept,� she said, “like having classes in Buddhism.� “It’s one thing to have panel discussions, but if you really want to bring these factions together ... have a nondenominational interfaith space, like the chapel at the Pentagon, where local rabbis and priests could hold services on different days of the week.� There has always been some interfaith support for the center. Its backers modeled their concept for the center after the city’s two popular Jewish community centers and consulted at length with the managers to learn how to make their model work downtown, and reached out to some neighborhood politicians for support.

BP’s well near death; disaster not over

Los Angeles activists protest police shooting

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) — The impending death of BP’s blown-out oil will bring one piece of the catastrophe that began five months ago to an anticlimactic end — after all, the gusher was capped in July. This, though, is an important milestone for the still-weary residents of the Gulf Coast: an assurance that not so much as a trickle of oil will ever seep from the well that already has ruined so much since the catastrophe first started. The disaster began April 20, when an explosion killed 11 workers, sank a drilling rig and led to the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history. Crews had already pumped in cement to seal the well from the bottom, and officials said Saturday it had set. Once a pressure and weight test was finished, officials expected to confirm that the well is permanently plugged. That was expected to occur late Saturday, but an announcement may not come until Sunday. People who rely on the Gulf of Mexico and its coastline for their livelihoods, though, know the disaster is far from over. They are left to rebuild amid the businesses

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Protesters gathered Saturday near the spot where a Los Angeles Police officer shot a Guatemalan day laborer who was carrying a knife. Less than a hundred people assembled in the Rampart district, a largely Latino shopping area just west of downtown. Many carried flags from Central American countries and placards decrying the Sept. 5 shooting death of Manuel Jaminez. Jaminez, 37, was shot in the head after a brief confrontation with three bicycleriding officers on a street corner. Police said Jaminez was drunk and had attempted to stab passers-by, including a pregnant woman, and ignored commands to drop a knife. Some residents said the fatal shooting seemed a disproportionate use of force and officers should have been able to disarm Jaminez without killing him. His death sparked several nights of vigils and protests that at times turned violent. Police officials were taken aback that the shooting, which appeared to them to be easily justifiable, could cause so much anger and they blamed outside activists for stirring up resentment.

Child deaths test Florida’s beach driving tradition

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Two 4-year-olds have been killed by vehicles legally driving on Florida beaches this summer, touching off a debate among locals torn over whether to ban the deep-rooted tradition. The first death involved a British girl who was holding a relative’s hand when she stepped in front of him and was hit. Then in July, Aiden Patrick was playing on the beach when he ran into an oncoming truck. Aiden was from the area, and his tragedy hit close to home. Most local elected officials want to keep the custom, in part because it has long been part of this area’s identity. Black-and-white photographs of early Ford models racing on the shore decorate restaurant walls around town, and NASCAR even held parts of races on the sand until 1959, when Daytona International Speedway opened.

Obama rallies black supporters at lawmakers’ gala

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is hoping that black voters don’t stand on the sidelines when Democrats need all the election help they can get this year. With polls showing his party facing a wide “enthusiasm gap” with the GOP, Obama sought to rally an important constituency in a speech at the annual awards banquet of the Congressional Black Caucus on Saturday night. It’s a group reeling from ethics charges against two leading members, Democratic Reps. Charles Rangel of New York and Maxine Waters of California. Republicans are preparing TV ads spotlighting the cases, even though House trials are now not expected until after the November election. The cases complicate an already difficulty electoral landscape for Obama’s party, with polls showing Republicans energized and Democrats unenthusiastic about the vote. A recent AP-GfK poll found that 84 percent of Republicans believe their party will seize control of Congress in November. Just 51 percent of Democrats thought their party would keep it.

A worker on the drilling floor is seen on from the window of the drilling cage as the drilling pipe is removed on the Development Driller III, which drilled the relief well and pumped the cement to seal the Macondo well, the source of the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and oil spill, in the Gulf Of Mexico, Saturday. destroyed by once-oilcoated shorelines and fishing grounds that were tainted by crude. Even where the seafood is safe, fishermen struggle to sell it to consumers fearful that it’s toxic. News that the blown out well would soon be dead brought little comfort to people like Sheryl Lindsay, who owns Orange Beach Weddings, which provides beach ceremonies on Alabama’s coast. She said she lost about $240,000 in business because of the spill as nervous brides-to-be canceled their weddings

all summer long and even into the remainder of the year. So far, she has only received about $29,000 in BP compensation. “I’m scared that BP is going to pull out and leave us hanging with nothing,” Lindsay said. The Gulf well spewed 206 million gallons of oil until the gusher was first stopped in midJuly with a temporary cap. Mud and cement were later pushed down through the top of the well, allowing the cap to be removed. But officials will not declare it dead until it is killed from the bottom.

In Louisiana’s coastal Plaquemines Parish, Guy Laigast was among three deputies setting up New Orleans Saints football garb Saturday along a fence at the sheriff’s office training center, preparing for an annual employees’ picnic. For him, news that the plug was nearly done meant little. “They’ve still got tons of oil out there, so ...” he said, his voice trailing off. “I don’t think it’s going to solve all the problems. They’ve got a lot to go.” Librarian Donna Pobrica was working Saturday in an otherwise

empty library in Belle Chasse serving as a polling place Saturday for a local election. “I know a lot of people who have been waiting for that,” she said of the well’s plugging. “We’ve waited a long time.” Pobrica said the spill “really killed the people down the road. Oysters were the main thing down here, and now it’s gone.” Many of the area’s oyster beds were wiped out when officials flooded the marshes with fresh water, hoping it would help keep oil out of the delicate wetlands. Oysters thrive in salt water. For Tom Becker, a charter fishing boat captain in Biloxi, Miss., news that the well was nearly dead is too little, too late. His business has tanked, down more than 60 percent with $36,000 in lost revenue, not to mention the business he’ll lose in the future. “The phones just aren’t ringing,” Becker said. “The damage is done. I’m glad to hear the well is sealed because now we won’t have to speculate about it happening again. Now let’s worry about the future. How can we recover from this, and what do we have to do to bring people back?”

TV: DANCING WITH THE STARS

E-BRIEFS

Mirrorball, mistakes part of Brandy’s dream

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s the night of the “Dancing With the Stars” premiere, 20 minutes until Brandy and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy dance live in front of millions, and the singeractress can’t find her performance costume. Scrambling, she finally locates the dress, but now one of her dance shoes is missing. With time running out, she decides to perform barefoot, but she misses her cue and can’t catch up for the duration of the dance. Then she wakes up. Brandy has spent several nights dreaming about “Dancing With the Stars,” and she confesses her anxious nocturnal sojourn during a rehearsal just days before the season premiere. “A couple of nights before, I’d been dreaming about the mirrorball,” she says, referring to the show’s glittery trademark trophy. “So that’s good.” But with the 11th season about to begin, her nerves are rising. “I have a hard time trusting the process and trusting the moment,” she says. “It’s always coming from a place of wanting to do great.” Chmerkovskiy reassures her. A veteran of eight “Dancing” seasons, he says that if she makes a mistake, he’s ready “with plans C, D and F to cam-

Singer Brandy, right, and her dance partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, rehearse for “Dancing with the Stars. The upcoming season premieres on Monday. ouflage it, so you’ve got nothing to worry about.” The 31-year-old star is set to make her dancing debut Monday alongside her fellow celebrity contestants: Actors David Hasselhoff, Jennifer Grey, Florence Henderson and Kyle Massey; athletes Rick Fox and Kurt Warner; reality performers Audrina Patridge and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino; singer Michael Bolton; comedian Margaret Cho; and political daughter Bristol Palin. After two weeks of working together daily, Brandy and Chmerkovskiy’s playful chemistry is clear. He purposely pokes at her sore muscles; she warns that he better not drop her during one of their tricky turns. “That’s like telling Michael Jordan you better

make that basket,” the pro dancer says. Their banter continues as they practice the jive at a public dance studio inside a suburban mall. Chmerkovskiy tells the slender singer to extend her foot a little further, and she responds with, “Dude, if I go any further, I’m going to go outside that window.” They run through the moves again and again, and when Brandy finally gets the steps right, she lets out an excited little scream. “Stop squealing and go,” Chmerkovskiy says. “That was awesome,” she tells him. “I landed on the right thigh.” “And I’m moving on,” he says. “Do it again.” They continue, and Chmerkovskiy chides his student for overstepping

her mark. She blames slippery dance shoes. He scoffs, takes off his Nikes and dances in his socks to show her that she could still control her footwork. Then he slips, his feet sliding out from under him. “Exactly! Exactly!” she shouts victoriously. “Thank you universe, because this is the first time I’ve ever been right in rehearsal. ... This is what you did in the dream, when I only had one shoe!” “Please use that footage,” Brandy says to the camera operator capturing their rehearsal. Chmerkovskiy sighs as they continue. “Take 743,” he says, clapping his hands together like a director’s clapboard. Brandy’s appearance on the hit dance show represents a reunion with ABC, where she had her only other televised ballroom-dance experience in the network’s updated version of “Cinderella,” in 1997. Brandy played the title character, and one of her scenes included a whirl around the ballroom. But that was 15 years ago, she says, and more focused on the facial expressions of her and her prince than the precise movements and proper posture required on “Dancing With the Stars.” “This is brand new to me,” she says.

Lohan tweets she failed court-ordered drug test LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lindsay Lohan has confirmed on her Twitter page that she failed a court-ordered drug and alcohol screening, and she said that if asked, she is ready to appear before the judge in her case and Lohan face the consequences for her actions. In a series of messages posted late Friday, the actress said “Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test.” She also said, “Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it.” Lohan often posts updates with the account that’s verified by Twitter as belonging to the actress. A person familiar with the case, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter, confirmed the positive test results for The Associated Press earlier Friday. The person declined to specify what substance triggered the positive result, which the source said occurred within the last month. The failed drug test was first reported by TMZ.com. The test result could mean a probation violation and more jail time for the 24-year-old actress. In July, Lohan was sentenced to three months in jail followed by three months in

Hilton to avoid felony in Las Vegas arrest LAS VEGAS (AP) — Paris Hilton will serve a year of probation and avoid a felony conviction under the terms of a plea deal worked out with prosecutors following her arrest on drug charges in Las Vegas, Clark County District Attorney David Roger said Friday. Hilton has agreed to plead guilty Monday to two misdemeanors stemming from the Aug. 27 arrest, Roger said. She was arrested inside the Wynn resort, after police say a small plastic bag containing 0.8 grams of cocaine fell out of her Chanel purse as she reached for a tub of lip balm in front of a police lieutenant. A plea agreement obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal shows Hilton will plead guilty to drug possession and obstructing an officer to avoid two consecutive six month-sentences in the Clark County Detention Center. Instead, Hilton will serve a year of probation, the newspaper reported. She also must complete a drug abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and serve 200 hours of community service.

Whitfield leaves ’Spartacus’ for 2nd cancer battle

NEW YORK (AP) — Starz network says “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” star Andy Whitfield is leaving the show to battle a recurrence of cancer. Production of the “Spartacus” series’ second season was postponed this spring when Whitfield was diagnosed with nonHodgkin lymphoma. The cable television network Whitfield said Whitfield was responding well to treatment, but the cancer has returned. The British-born Whitfield played the gladiator hero in the show’s breakout first season. The network said co-stars Lucy Lawless and John Hannah would take center stage for a six-episode prequel leading up to Spartacus’ arrival. It will air beginning in January. In a statement, Whitfield expressed regret at leaving the series while describing his cancer battle “as another extraordinary journey.”

POPE IN LONDON

Benedict meets with abuse victims; thousands protest

LONDON (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI apologized Saturday to five people who were molested by priests as children in his latest effort to defuse the sex abuse crisis shaking his church, as thousands of people angered at the Vatican’s response marched in central London in the biggest protest of his 5-year papacy. Benedict met for about 30-40 minutes with the victims — four women and a man from Scotland,

England and Wales — at the Vatican’s ambassador’s residence in Wimbledon and expressed “his deep sorrow and shame over what the victims and their families suffered,� according to the Vatican. “He prayed with them and assured them that the Catholic Church is continuing to implement effective measures designed to safeguard young people, and that it is doing all in its power to investigate allegations, to collaborate

with civil authorities and to bring to justice clergy and religious accused of these egregious crimes,� it said. Across town, abuse victims and demonstrators opposed to the pope’s stance against homosexuality, abortion and using condoms to fight AIDS marched peacefully from Hyde Park to Downing Street, the major protest of Benedict’s controversial four-day state visit. They carried banners

reading: “The pope is wrong — put a condom on� and “Pope protects pedophile priests.� Later Saturday, though, an estimated 80,000 people massed in Hyde Park cheering the pope as he celebrated an evening vigil. The Vatican statement was similar to ones it issued after Benedict met with abuse victims over the past two years while visiting the United States, Australia and Malta. But

continued revelations of abuse — the latest in Belgium — have failed to placate critics demanding that the pope and other Vatican officials take personal responsibility and crack down on bishops who covered up abuses by their clerics. For the first time, Benedict also met with a group of professionals and volunteers who work to safeguard children and young people in church environments, Vatican spokesman

the Rev. Federico Lombardi told reporters. Bill Kilgallon, chairman of Britain’s National Catholic Safeguarding Commission who helped organize the meeting, told the BBC that the victims got “something between 30 and 40 minutes.� Asked if the victims were angry, he said: “No, I wouldn’t say they were angry. I think there is anger in them ... But anger can be very constructive if they work for change.�

Sports QUICKREAD ncaa football MELLETTE SETS SCHOOL RECORD FOR RECEPTIONS

RICHMOND, Va. — Former Southern Lee star Aaron Mellette set a new Elon University record with 18 receptions in the school’s 27-21 overtime loss to Richmond on Saturday. Mellette surpassed the mark of 16 catches set by Terrell Hudgins on three separate occasions. With the game tied at 14, the Richmond Spiders went 76 yards in 18 plays to take a 21-14 lead with just 1:41 left to play in the fourth quarter, but saw the Elon Phoenix march right back down the field and tie the game on an athletic grab by Mellette as time expired in regulation. The Phoenix (1-2) got the ball to start the overtime period and lined up for a 37-yard field goal attempt by Adam Shreiner. The kick came out low and was blocked by Richmond’s Casey Cooley. Richmond (1-1) took its overtime possession and gained nine yards on a Tyler Kirchoff run to move the ball to the Elon 16 on its first play. Kirchoff found the end zone on the next play, driving 16 yards for the rushing score to give the Spiders the victory.

Tar Heels just need closure T

son said. “People who take winning for granted aren’t very smart, because it’s hard. I don’t know in my three years if we’ve had any easy wins. They’re all hard.” Johnny White ran for a career-high 113 yards and a touchdown for the Tar Heels (02, 0-1), who again tried to play through the distraction of an NCAA probe into agent-related benefits and possible academic misconduct. Twelve players sat out, including NFL prospects Marvin Austin, Robert Quinn, Deunta Williams and Kendric Burney on defense. The Yellow Jackets took advantage with their triple-option attack, running for 372 yards

wo games. Same outcome. Heck, same score even. Two very different reactions from the Tar Heel faithful. In the first game of the season, North Carolina fought heroically back from a 30-10 deficit to come within a Zack Pianalto fingertip of upsetting LSU, losing 30-24 and all the while missing 13 players to an ongoing NCAA two-pronged investigation. While there was disappointment that the Heels lost, there was also a strong sense of pride that the team had fought so valiantly. The fans took comfort in the “what-ifs,” and rested easy in the assumption that at least most of the team would be back within two weeks when Georgia Tech came to town. There was even small talk of quarterback T.J. Yates as a Heisman contender. Fast-forward to Saturday, when Paul Johnson’s Ramblin’ Wreck of Georgia Tech (honestly, has a nickname ever matched a team better?) took a 30-24 win from Kenan Stadium with a triple-option offense featuring cut blocks that had the young Tar Heel defense on their, well, heels and backs

Soccer FALCONS TOP EAGLES TO EARN THIRD WIN OF YEAR SANFORD — James Mlynczak’s scored two goals to lead the Lee Christian soccer team to a 3-1 victor over Faith Christian on Friday afternoon. The win improves the Falcons to 3-7 overall and 2-5 in the NCCSA 3-A West Conference with both conference victories coming against Faith Christian. Mlynczak scored first off an assist from Jarrod Thomas in the 12th minute to put the Falcons up 1-0. The score remained the same until the 43rd minute when Kane Kaufman put Lee Christian up 2-0 thanks to another assist from Thomas. 22 minutes later, Mlynczak scored his second goal off an assist from Kaufman to put the Falcons up 3-0. In the 68th minute, Faith finally got on the board for the only time. The Falcons will return home when they host Cape Fear Christian at 4 p.m. Monday.

nhl STAAL A LEADER FOR YOUNG HURRICANES

RALEIGH (AP) — Eric Staal has seen a lot of veteran players come and go since he first joined the Carolina Hurricanes in 2003. He’s only 25 years old, but he certainly wasn’t one of the younger guys in the dressing room when preseason camp opened Saturday. The team captain will be a big part of the team’s leadership — especially now that veterans Rod Brind’Amour and Ray Whitney have moved on. Staal says the team has some fresh faces that are real excited to be competing for roster spots. There are only four players who are in their 30s. Coach Paul Maurice says he was impressed by his players’ fitness heading into camp.

Tar Heels come up short against Yellow Jackets By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer CHAPEL HILL — Georgia Tech didn’t dwell on the mistakes that nearly put a depleted North Carolina team in control of the game. Instead, the Yellow Jackets focused on what they do best: running the ball, fighting for every yard and wearing down the defense. Joshua Nesbitt ran for a touchdown and threw for another to help them beat the Tar Heels 30-24 on Saturday, extending Georgia Tech’s recent dominance in the series against a team left short-handed again by an ongoing NCAA investigation. Nesbitt ran for a tying touchdown late in the third

quarter, then directed the drive that ended with Scott Blair’s go-ahead field goal early in the fourth. Orwin Smith and Roddy Jones also scored touchdowns for Georgia Tech (2-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), which overcame some secondhalf miscues after a mistakefree opening half to hang on for its 11th win in 13 meetings. The defending ACC champions lost at Kansas to fall out of the rankings last week, prompting coach Paul Johnson to say he wanted this players to “show me, don’t tell me” that they had learned from their mistakes. This time, at least, they proved they could overcome them. “Any time you win, I’m happy. It’s hard to win,” John-

Davidson sneaks by Campbell in PFL opener

Blue Devils rolled by No. 1 Crimson Tide

BUIES CREEK (AP) — Kenny Mantuo scored on a 3-yard run with 13 seconds left to give Davidson a 28-27 victory over Campbell in the Pioneer League opener on Saturday. Trailing 27-21 with 7:30 left, the Wildcats (2-1, 1-0) offense took over possession at their own 12-yard line looking for the goahead score. The Wildcats went on a 14 play, 88-yard drive in 7:17 for the game-winning score. Mantuo was a workhorse for Davidson as he had a game-high 34 carries for 181 yards to go along with the game’s final touchdown. Campbell (1-2, 0-1) led 27-14 going into the fourth quarter, but a 3-yard touchdown pass from Davidson’s Jonathan Carkhuff to tight end Michael Blanchard early in the final frame pulled the Wildcats to within one score. Running back Justin Williams added two touchdowns on the ground for Davidson.

By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer DURHAM — Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns in his season debut, and No. 1 Alabama routed Duke 62-13 on Saturday in its highestscoring game in 19 years. Greg McElroy matched a career high with three scoring passes for the Crimson Tide (3-0). They led 28-0 roughly 10 minutes in and looked completely at ease inside a crimson-coated stadium named for a former Alabama coach.

LILLINGTON — The Western Harnett Eagles made the mistakes on offense, turning the ball over three times. The Pinecrest defense took advantage of those miscues as the Patriots cruised to a 31-0 victory over the Eagles on Friday night, marking the second time this season that Western Harnett has been shut out. Pinecrest’s D.J. Simpson recovered a Western

Harnett fumble and took it 28 yards for the first touchdown of the game, which put the Patriots (5-0) ahead 10-0. Trailing 17-0 in the third quarter, Western Harnett quarterback Randy McNeil threw one of his two interceptions, which was taken all the way back by Kris Robinson for the score to increase Pinecrest’s lead to 24. The Eagles (0-5) finished the game with 140 total yards of offense with 67 coming from tailback Caleb

Chalmers on eight carries. Jordan Trapp had 11 carries for 17 yards. Pinecrest’sDamion Pride had 14 carries for 105 yards and a 12-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter for the final score of the game. After going winless in its nonconference schedule, Western Harnett will take a much-needed week off next week before opening Cape Fear Valley Conference play with Southern Lee on Oct. 1 in Lillington.

Momentum shift helps Chargers rally past Patriots

Thursday, Sept. 23 n Tennis Lee County at Athens Drive, 4 p.m. n Volleyball Lee County at Holly Springs, 5:30 p.m.

From staff reports PITTSBORO – It was the best of times and the worst of times for Northwood Friday night. Luckily, the Chargers had the best of times at the end of their game against Providence Grove, scoring 22 points in a hurry to gain a 34-17 win. The Chargers led at the

half, 12-3, with a rushing touchdown from Kevin Williams and a scoring punt return from Tre Chandler. But the Patriots put up two quick back-to-back touchdowns to start to the third quarter to take a 17-12 lead, then regained possession on an onside kick. The momentum was definitely on the Patriots’ side. But in a blink of an eye, all that can change on the football field. And it did. On the ensuing drive, Northwood’s Seth Spach scooped up a fumble and ran 61 yards for a score to put the Chargers up for good.

Then Northwood went crazy, scoring two more times for good measure from Williams and Chandler. Northwood head coach Bill Hall said he’d never seen anything quite like the momentum shift. “That was the weirdest game I ever remember being a part of,� Hall said Friday night. “But we’ve lost two already that same way.

A CLEAR FAVORITE! Technology can sometimes be very mystifying. For instance, the creator behind a well-known brand of uniquely designed vacuum cleaners recently announced the development of an air fan that does not use blades. This leads most people to ask how wind can be created without any visibly moving parts. While we are not in the business of answering this baffling question, we can tell patients how the orthodontist can move teeth into their desired positions without using any metal bands, wires, or rubber rings. In fact, the InvisalignÂŽ system can correct overly crowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, crossbites, overbites, and underbites without any outwardly visible apparatus. How? A technically advanced system of computer-designed clear plastic, removable retainers makes it all possible. InvisalignÂŽ patients wear each set of custom-made aligners for about two weeks, moving the teeth gradually into a perfect smile. Average treatment time is about a year. To see if you are a good candidate for InvisalignÂŽ, please call SANDHILLS ORTHODONTICS today at (919) 718-9188 to schedule a free consultation. Our office is located at 1129 Carthage St. Committed to helping you achieve the smile you deserve - a healthy, beautiful one! P.S. InvisalignÂŽ aligners are custom fabricated to progressively correct tooth alignment without visually disrupting the look of a white smile, a benefit highly valued by professional people and self-conscious patients.

Pryor throws 16 completions to lead No. 2 Buckeyes to win

East Carolina wide receiver Dwayne Harris (17) tries to get past the tackle of Virginia Tech corner back Kyle Fuller (17) in Saturday’s game in Blacksburg, Va. Virginia Tech won 49-27 to earn its first victory of the season.

Hokies beat Pirates for first victory of season BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — David Wilson ran for two touchdowns and Darren Evans added a rushing score to lead Virginia Tech to a 49-27 win over East Carolina on Saturday. Virginia Tech (1-2) rallied from a 10-0 deficit, scoring 28 unanswered points in the second half. The Hokies, who came into this season ranked No. 10 in the preseason Associated Press poll, had lost to Boise State and to Division I-AA James Madison last week. “This was a great win

because it came after a very difficult week for our coaches and players� Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer said. “It came after we had to battle out there and didn’t look so hot at times. Our guys and coaches kept battling, and I’m proud of winning and how it took place. We had to hang in there, but we took some strides.� The Hokies won despite losing standout tailback Ryan Williams, a redshirt sophomore who broke Tech’s single-season rush-

ing record last season (1,655 yards). Williams injured his right hamstring with 7:24 left in the first half and did not return. Virginia Tech trailed 27-21 in the third quarter, but the Hokies took the lead when Wilson scored on a 3-yard run with 4:34 left in the quarter. The Hokies’ defense then held the Pirates (2-1) on the ensuing possession. Wilson, a sophomore, scored on an 8-yard run with 29 seconds remaining in the quarter to give Tech a 35-27 lead.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Terrelle Pryor picked apart Ohio University’s defense with a school-record 16 consecutive completions Ohio State ran away from the Bobcats. The victory over the turnover-prone Bobcats (1-2) improved Ohio State (3-0) to 41-0-1 since it last lost to another Ohio college, a 7-6 setback against Oberlin in 1921. Pryor, who also ran for a touchdown, completed 22 of 29 passes for 235 yards and two scores with two interceptions. Dan Herron ran for two touchdowns and Ohio State’s defense had five takeaways. No. 4 TCU 45, Baylor 10 FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Ed Wesley ran 19 times for 165 yards and two touchdowns, Andy Dalton completed 21 of 23 passes for 267 yards with two scores as TCU stretched its home winning streak to 16 games. The Horned Frogs (3-0)

scored touchdowns on their first five drives to build a 35-3 lead and had 335 of their 558 total yards by halftime. No. 7 Oklahoma 27, Air Force 24 NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — DeMarco Murray gained a total of 148 yards and scored three touchdowns to help Oklahoma hold off a late charge from Air Force’s overpowering run game. Murray ran for a 5-yard touchdown and scored on a 17-yard screen pass in the third quarter as the Sooners (3-0) reeled off 17 straight points to pull away after Air Force (2-1) had tied it early in the second half.

That ended up being just enough to stave off the Falcons’ comeback bid. No. 10 Florida 31 Tennessee 17 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Mike Gillislee ran for two touchdowns and Florida beat the Volunteers for the sixth straight time. The Gators (3-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) grabbed a third straight win in Knoxville for the first time in the 40-game series after failing to pull of the feat in 1990, 1998 and 2004. For a second straight week, Florida played sluggishly early in the game and had only 94 yards of offense at halftime.

Early goal helps unbeaten Vikings defeat Crusaders By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com SANFORD — The Grace Christian Crusaders faced a hefty challenge on Friday afternoon against the unbeaten Vandalia Vikings. Having made several defensive changes including adding a new goalkeeper, the Crusaders battled the Vikings pretty evenly despite falling 1-0 in the NCCSA 3-A West Conference match. The Vikings got on the board very early in the

game, thanks to a goal from Will Saunders from about 25 yards out in the first 37 seconds which turned out to be the difference maker. Andrew Holder, the new goalkeeper for the Crusaders, had three saves in his first time ever playing soccer. Holder played 55 minutes in goal before cramps in his legs forced him to come out. He was replaced by Isaac Kruger, who had four saves in the final 25 minutes of the match. To make up for injuries,

Grace Christian head coach Chris Pratt and assistant coach Caleb Dickens made the joint decision to move Aaron Norris, who is the leading goal scorer in the state, to the defensive side of the ball while Evan Kanarr played up front. Norris had to miss the first two minutes of the match due to a funeral and the Vikings took advantage of his absence. The Vikings (12-0, 6-0) were unable to score anymore after Norris entered the game.

all game. That was a young, inexperienced defense because the Heels got back just one player out

of the baker’s dozen who missed the LSU game back for Saturday – and Shaun Draughn is a running back. To be fair, Georgia Tech is probably a tougher test than LSU. Yes, I know, the Yellow Jackets

lost to Kansas, who lost to both North Dakota and Southern Miss. But they did win the ACC Championship last year, and their brand of offense is far too complicated for an inexperienced defense to contain. Couple that with

the fact that Al Groh, who owned UNC while the head coach at Virginia, is now the Jackets’ defensive coordinator. And Carolina really didn’t play that badly. Running back Johnny White shook off his

Yates performed admirably, completing 18 of 24 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown – and more importantly, zero interceptions. Even the defense stiffened in the second half and relegated the Jackets to field goals on two-straight drives down the stretch. The game really came down to two costly fumbles from Yates and Pianalto. Otherwise, the Heels played just as good against Georgia Tech as it did against LSU. But the mood leaving Kenan Stadium was much different than the one following the LSU game. Somber and solemn, you would’ve thought that Harrison Barnes had torn his ACL in a pick-up game. There were more than a couple “wait ‘till basketball season” yells as well, a threat that rings a little hollow after last season. It’s not a good time to be a Tar Heel. I know. I am one. And I apologize wholeheartedly for even mentioning Barnes and “torn ACL” in the same sentence. In truth, the fans, the players and everyone else involved are restless – with the team, with the coaches and administration, and mostly with the NCAA. Tar Heels need closure. Any kind of closure. Every other team involved in this huge agents scandal has had judgements. A.J. Green is out for games for Georgia. Weslye Saunders is off the team at South Carolina. Alabama Marcell Darius served the last of his two-game suspension Saturday as well. But you know, at some

point this season, the investigation is no excuse. Yes, North Carolina is missing a dozen players, and most of them are on defense. But the guys that are out there come from some of the best recruiting classes the school has had, well, possibly ever. At some point, they have to man-up and win these games, because it doesn’t seem that the NCAA is in any hurry. As an aside, I just wanted to mention how hypocritical both the school and the NCAA are through one anecdote. The merchandise tables are still selling Marvin Austin and Greg Little jerseys. In fact, that’s the only ones you can buy at the stadium. And they are still full price. Now both the school and the NCAA get a cut of each sale of a jersey. Austin and Little get squat. That doesn’t justify breaking the rules of agent involvement, but it isn’t right either. I digress. Anyway, there’s only two outcomes to this mess that would prove to me that there is any justice in the world. Either 1) the NCAA finds that most of the players didn’t do anything wrong, they come back and lead their team to a bowl game, preferably a rematch with LSU somewhere (or the Orange Bowl, of course, or 2) the NCAA rules that none of them are eligible, the Heels take their lumps, lower their expectations and the fans are happy with whatever we get on Saturday. We’re used to disappointment on the football field. We can take it. Either way, I think Tar Heels would just like to know.

Bucs-Panthers might as well be the Baby Bowl CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It didn’t take Tampa Bay and Carolina long to become fierce rivals when they were thrown together in the NFC South. The Buccaneers won the Super Bowl in the division’s debut season of 2002. The Panthers lost in the Super Bowl a year later. They’ve played odd games with close finishes and entertaining player feuds. As recently as 2008 they entered a Monday night game with identical 9-3 records. All that’s changed after both clubs overhauled their rosters. Now there seems to be a new competition between the clubs predicted to bring up the rear in the division: The race to be the NFL’s youngest team. “I think we tipped the scale when we took Keydrick Vincent away

from them,� Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris said of their 32-yearold starting left guard Carolina didn’t re-sign in the offseason. “He put us over the edge a little bit.� Indeed, based on the opening day rosters, the Panthers have the NFL’s youngest club and the Buccaneers are second. It would probably be a good idea to expect a few mistakes and some ugly stretches when the teams meet Sunday. “It’s fun for me,� insisted Morris, just 33 himself. “I have a bunch of young guys and it’s like a college football team here.� Tampa Bay (1-0) is a year ahead of Carolina (0-1) in its youth movement. The December 2008 game, won by the Panthers 38-23, started a late-season free-fall that cost coach Jon Gruden his job and set off Tampa

Bay’s change of direction. Morris went 3-13 last year, switching to rookie quarterback Josh Freeman, whose up and down season included five interceptions in a December loss in Charlotte. The Panthers, who let their veterans depart last offseason after going 8-8, could have rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen starting before the year is over. But despite suffering a concussion and throwing three interceptions in the end zone in Carolina’s season-opening loss to the New York Giants, Matt Moore is expected to start again Sunday. “You wish you hadn’t thrown them,� Moore said. “It’s decisions you don’t want to make, but you learn from those things.�

8B / Sunday, September 19, 2010 / The Sanford Herald DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Woman who loses her bra now finds herself in a bind DEAR ABBY: The most embarrassing thing happened to me at the chiropractor’s office. I typically see him before going to the gym, and change into my gym clothes in the waiting area bathroom. It’s easier for my doctor to treat me when I’m not in my office attire. After completing my workout, I realized that my bra hadn’t made it into my gym bag and must still be on the doctor’s bathroom floor. I am embarrassed for two reasons: (1) He is single and handsome, and I don’t want him to think I’m trying to send him a “signal” of some kind, and (2) it was my favorite bra! How do I begin to address this? — “DEBBIE” IN DALLAS

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Don’t let the little things get to you when there is so much more to concentrate on this year. Take pride in knowing that you have what it takes to handle difficult situations. You are ready for the unknown and willing to undergo whatever changes are necessary to turn a wrong into a right. Your numbers are 3, 8, 17, 21, 23, 32, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Bypass any negative influences, put on a happy face and make an inviting presentation both personally and professionally. Relying on others to take care of your business or to sell what you have to offer will not bring results. 4 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Trust in what you know is true, not what someone tells you. Someone will play on your emotions, trying to get you to contribute to a questionable cause. Have a little one-on-one time with someone you enjoy being with. 2 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The better prepared you are, the easier it will be to advance. Looking for a new position or presenting what you have to offer will bring good results. Your persistence and discipline will pay off. 5 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Love is on the rise and plans made will influence your lifestyle. Trying to buy something that doesn’t have a price tag is futile. You cannot buy love or respect; that’s something you must earn. Honesty is your ticket to freedom. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be pulled in several directions. Don’t let love drag you down or cost you emotionally or financially. Someone else’s uncertainty will end up being your responsibility if you aren’t upfront about the way you feel. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Clear your head before you indulge in something that has the

WORD JUMBLE

potential to cost you financially. An emotional connection you have to a friend or colleague must be recognized as a threat, leading to a poor choice. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Give and take will be required to get along with the people you deal with daily. Keep your personal thoughts to yourself for now. Someone from your past will cause trouble for you if you let him or her meddle in your affairs. 5 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep everything out in the open and you will avoid being blamed for things you didn’t do. Don’t be afraid to put a little pressure on someone you have known a long time. Once you make it clear what you expect, you will find out where you stand. 2 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You may feel like going on an adventure but uncertainty regarding family and the changes taking place personally should be enough to keep you close to home. Flirting with danger or taking a risk isn’t likely to turn out the way you hoped. 4 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): There are definite changes to be made that will enable you to take advantage of a moneymaking investment. Talk to someone in the know about a deal you’ve been considering. Spend time with someone you love. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s vital that you look at every situation you face with clarity, honesty and the discipline to walk away if you must. Be responsible for yourself and those depending on you. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Impulsive action will be your downfall. Think matters through to the end and don’t allow anyone to confuse you with emotional innuendoes. Keep deals straight and be practical, especially if money is involved. 3 stars

DEAR “DEBBIE”: Your bra may be gone but I’m here to support you. Please stop feeling embarrassed. It’s entirely possible that your chiropractor never saw the bra. Call the person who schedules your doctor’s appointments, explain what happened, and ask if the item has been turned in. If it was, collect it when you go in for your next appointment or ask that it be sent to you. ❏ ❏ ❏ DEAR ABBY: I reconnected with “Andy,” a former high school classmate, and we started a relationship.

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

Currently it’s on the right track. Andy is a great guy who fulfills almost everything I am looking for. He accepts me for who I am and doesn’t judge me. He’s polite and cares about me. My problem is, I’m not physically attracted to him. Abby, if he’s “almost” everything I’m looking for, why am I not attracted to him? Am I blowing it with the one guy I’m supposed to be with, or is there someone else out there for me? — CONFUSED IN CONNECTICUT DEAR CONFUSED: I wish you had mentioned what caused your breakup last year. If the reason you’re not physically attracted to Andy is something he can change, you should talk to him about it. If it’s nothing you can put your finger on, then talk with a counselor to see if the problem could be a fear of commitment on your part. But if it is neither, then face it — you need

DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing a guy, “Bill,” who I believe is my soul mate. We have discussed our future and decided that after college we will have four kids. We love each other, and we’re trying to wait until we’re married to have sex. I talked to my parents about it, and Mom offered to put me on the pill. I don’t see any reason not to make love — other than I always thought I’d wait until my honeymoon. Bill isn’t pressuring me, either. I’m afraid that if we do it will complicate our relationship. I guess right now I’m looking for reasons not to because I don’t have any. Is it wrong for me to want this? — IN LOVE IN WASHINGTON DEAR IN LOVE: I don’t think so. You’re an idealistic young woman who would like to give her husband a gift on her wedding night that can be given only once. It takes self-control, discipline and determination to accomplish that — particularly with the emphasis on sex in popular culture. If you wait to have sex until you are married, you will never regret it. If you don’t, you might. So hang in there until you’re sure you’re ready or you have said “I do.”

ODDS AND ENDS Illinois woman charged in dog poop-infused meltdown NAPERVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Dog owners, beware: If you live in suburban Chicago and don’t pick up after your pet, you might get tossed an unpleasant reminder. Police in Naperville say a woman who stepped in dog feces outside her apartment appears to have retaliated by heaving it at the door of her neighbor who owns a dog. Susan Miller was charged with disorderly conduct after her bizarre protest Wednesday. The Naperville Sun reports that police say Miller also uprooted a sign telling residents to pick up dog waste and placed it on the neighbor’s patio. Miller was arrested after the neighbor called police. An unapologetic Miller says if she can pick up the poop from her 80-pound dog, her neighbor can pick up after a 20pound dog. Naperville is about 30 miles west of Chicago.

Mass. woman bags 1,025-pound alligator in South Carolina lake COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman has a remarkable souvenir from South Carolina. Maryellen Mara-Christian bagged a 13 1/2-foot ,1,025-pound alligator in Lake Moultrie. Mara-Christian said Friday that she is an experienced hunter, but this was her first gator.

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER The 48-year-old former bank marketing officer from Fitchburg, Mass., was hunting Wednesday with her husband, who is a firefighter and a part-time hunting guide. It took about two hours to secure the gator before they could shoot it. The .22-caliber gun they used wasn’t powerful enough to put the animal down, so Mara-Christian used a knife to sever the alligator’s spinal cord. Meat processor Steve Drummond said the gator had so much fat that only about 40 pounds was usable meat. He will stuff the animal for Mara-Christian to display.

Bailiffs to seize puppies to recover debt MOSCOW (AP) — Russian bailiffs have threatened to take what is most precious from a Russian pensioner who has failed to pay a debt — her three Shar Pei pedigree puppies, they said Friday. The pensioner, who bailiffs did not name, owes 350,000 rubles ($11,330) to an individual in her home town in Russia’s volcanic Kamchatka region in the Far East. “If she does not fulfill her obligations (to pay back the debt) within 10 days, the puppies will be sold by the Federal Agency for State Property Management,” bailiffs said in a statement on their site fssprus.ru. In Kamchatka, Shar Pei puppies fetch 15,000 rubles ($482.6) each, media reported. But bailiffs said they will try sell them for 5,000 rubles to attract more potential buyers.

Not meant to be solitary individuals Q: My uncle (who’s just retired from a job that brought him into contact with lots of people) says he’s tired of dealing with people and he’s going to spend the rest of his life breeding dogs because they don’t cheat you or criticize you. I understand what he’s saying, but doesn’t he have things a bit out of balance? — M. McF. A: If your uncle actually follows through on his plans, then yes — he could end up with his life out of balance. Completely avoiding people may seem like a perfect way to deal with stress — but in reality it creates its own problems. Why is this? One reason is because God put within each of us a need for companionship. We aren’t meant to be solitary individuals, isolated from everyone else and interested only in ourselves. We need each other! Shortly after God created Adam He declared, “It is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18). The writer of Ecclesiastes echoed the same thought: “Two are better than one. ... pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). Does this mean it’s wrong for your uncle to step back and enjoy some peace and quiet for a change? No, not necessarily. But I hope you’ll encourage him not to isolate himself, but to seek ways to help others and pass along the wisdom he’s gained over the years. But the most important thing you can do is urge your uncle to discover the greatest relationship anyone can ever know — and that is a relationship with God.

keep wondering if consumers will learn their lesson from this recession — to rely less on credit cards and more on the cash they have. If you look at recent reports, it does appear that people are pulling back from plastic and becoming more frugal. Just last month, TransUnion, one of the three big credit bureaus, said the average debt on all bank-issued credit cards continued to drift downward for the fifth consecutive quarter. During the second quarter of this year, the debt dropped more than 13 percent compared to the second quarter of 2009 — to an average $4,951 from $5,719. This marked the first time credit card debt was below the $5,000 average since early 2002. CardHub’s analysis found that credit card debt for the second quarter of this year decreased by about $12 billion compared to the previous quarter. But banks charged off $21.8 billion during the same period. Given that the drop in outstanding debt is smaller than the dollar amount that was charged off, the difference of $9.8 billion is the amount of debt consumers accumulated, Cardhub founder Odysseas Papadimitriou said. His findings give a more realistic view of how seriously the recession has crippled consumers. The charge-offs also indicate that many banks are continuing to experience deep losses, and this is one of the reasons why credit is still tight. It’s why many lenders have been cutting people’s credit limits, he said. “We need to keep remembering throughout this recovery that reverting back to where we were is the wrong thing to do because we were in a bubble,” Papadimitriou said. “Holding the bar to where things used to be and expecting and wanting to get back there means just prolonging the same pattern of getting into another big recession a few years from now.”

rake University hoped a bold, blue “D+” on a direct-mail piece and its admissions website would grab the attention of high school kids inundated with same-old, same-old college recruitment material. What looked like a pretty bad grade was supposed to entice teenagers to take a closer look at the pluses of attending the school in Des Moines, Iowa. Drake officials didn’t anticipate their daring idea getting ridiculed on advertising blogs, angering alumni who complained on Facebook that their degrees had been devalued, or inspiring a local store to market “D+ student” T-shirts to amused Drake students and underachievers alike. Consider it a cautionary tale for colleges embarking on marketing and branding campaigns designed to set themselves apart in the cutthroat competition to gain prestige and grab their share of a shrinking student pool. Fifteen years ago, the term “branding” was virtually unheard of in higher education. The idea of selling college like a luxury vehicle or an expensive cup of coffee was viewed as antithetical to the academic mission. Although pockets of resistance remain, it’d be difficult these days to find a four-year school that hasn’t gone through

Colleges are embarking on marketing and branding campaigns designed to set themselves apart in the cutthroat competition to gain prestige and grab their share of a shrinking student pool. the institutional soul-searching and subsequent marketing blitz that typically goes with being a “Brand U.” The new challenge may be this, as Drake has learned: When everyone is trying to stand out, colleges can no longer expect to meet enrollment targets by playing it safe. And pushing the marketing envelope carries risks and rewards. “Historically, folks really have taken a fairly conservative approach,” said Robert Moore, president and CEO of Chicago- and Washington-based marketing firm Lipman Hearne and author of a book on higher education branding. “We are seeing a bit more out-of-thebox stuff, and I think the jury is

still out.” Drake officials asked for edgy and out-of-the-box when they hired Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based Stamats Communications, which specializes in higher education marketing, to help craft a new marketing campaign to high school students. The D+ was intended to introduce a more conventional campaign touting “The Drake Advantage.” As Drake officials saw it, their recruits are smart enough to recognize Drake’s reputation is better than a D+ grade. “The idea was to catch prospective students’ attention with a symbol that was mildly

CHAPEL HILL (AP) — Bill Renn compares the constant grief hanging over his family to the putrid smell of smoke from the fire set three years ago to cover up the slayings of Renn’s sister-in-law and two nieces in Connecticut. The continual stress led Renn to make some life changes. In the spring, he quit his job as director of the alcohol and substance abuse program at UNC-Chapel Hill to consult for a company trying to sell anklemonitoring bracelets to state law enforcement officials. The bracelets, with global positioning systems and alcohol detectors, would be used to track habitual DWI and domestic violence offenders. Renn said he wanted to use his grief in a positive way, to help save other women’s lives because he couldn’t save those of his wife’s family. “Nothing is easy about this,” he said. About 3 a.m. on July 23, 2007, police say, two men broke into the Cheshire, Conn., home of Jennifer Hawke-Petit, the sister of Renn’s wife, Cindy. The men, police say, beat Hawke-Petit’s husband, Billy Petit, then raped Hawke-Petit and her daughter, Michaela, 11, and tied the Petits’ eldest daughter, Hayley, 17, to her bed. Police say Hawke-Petit was taken to a bank and forced to withdraw $15,000. Then, she was brought back to the home and strangled, officers say. The house was set on fire, and the girls, tied to their beds, died of smoke inhalation. Billy Petit, a prominent doctor in the area, escaped. The intruders tried to flee, but police had surrounded the house and arrested them. Steven Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky have been charged with the murders. The men, according to reports, had met in a halfway house after serving prison sentences. Weeks before the slayings, their house-arrest monitoring bracelets had been removed. Renn gave notice to quit his UNC job this spring while his wife went to Connecticut to attend the jury selection for Hayes, a process that started well in advance of a murder trial that is expected to begin this week. But since leaving his old job, the Chapel Hill-based bracelet company Renn works for, Incarceration Alternatives, has not been able to sell its product. “The stress from the case has caused me to make unwise decisions, and now it’s affecting my family financially,” Renn said.

he schedule at the Chamber hits a fast pace this week and will accelerate from now until Christmas. It’s hard to believe that the last quarter of 2010 is almost here. Local retail businesses have planned their holiday season and are busy receiving and unpacking goods. In the business and professional services sector, owners and managers turn their attention to tax planning and goals for next year. Here are a few of our activities in the next 60 days: ❏ Leadership Sanford: Our annual leadership class held its first meeting this past week. This

year’s class of 13 industrial sector. students will learn Be on the lookout the history of our for the Induscommunity, meet trial Edition of The government and Herald, which will business leaders, be distributed in prepare a class a few days.

We are lining up a good list of participating Chamber members who accept Chamber gift certificates. This program helps money stays in our local economy. ❏ State of the Schools: Next Thursday, the Chamber and Lee County Schools will host our sec-

ond State of the Schools presentation at B. T. Bullock Elementary School. This year’s presentation is sponsored by Pfizer. The purpose of this event, which is free to the public, is to provide information about our schools to our community “sales force” so they can best do their jobs. ❏ Back to Atlanta: We’re making plans to head back to Atlanta to continue recruiting FORSOM and USARC employees to live in Lee County. Already, newcomers from the Atlanta area are telling us how much they like our city and the surrounding area. We’ve made some good friends who are telling their good friends about our area.

ironic, that would create a little bit of cognitive dissonance, and inspire them to go further with it,� said Fritz McDonald, vice president of creative strategy at Stamats. In July, the material was mailed to tens of thousands of high school students, officials said. The D+ went up on the admissions website, as well. The school said it had reason to be optimistic: Surveys of more than 900 high school students found the campaign both captured their attention and got across the concept that Drake would give them a leg up. Also, campus visits in July and August surpassed 720, a 23 percent increase from the previous year, officials said. The school reported 4,856 inquiries from prospective students in those months, a 66 percent increase. “Everyone is trying to do something different,� said Debra Lukehart, Drake’s executive director of marketing and communications. “It isn’t just a gimmick. It’s a very strategic, well thoughtout program — and it has

worked with our target audience.� But six weeks after its uneventful introduction, the D+ caught the notice of a different audience: unsympathetic bloggers on the website The Awl and Adweek, as well as some students and alumni who turned to social networks and blogs to complain that it sent the wrong message about the university. “I love that the school is getting attention,� said ’97 graduate Jennifer Jahde Bedell of Leawood, Kan. “But is it the right kind of attention? I’m going to pay a lot of money for a college education, and I’m going to be known for a D+?� The furor prompted school officials to send an e-mail to faculty and staff apologizing for catching them off guard and explaining the thinking behind the campaign. Across higher education, some faculty and administrators cringe at precious financial resources going to marketing, especially in down times. Earlier this year in the trade publication Inside Higher Ed, a Northeastern University official warned colleagues against seeking a quick fix from higher education’s “Mad Men� — recession-battered re-

tail branding consultants eyeing colleges and universities as an untapped market. Others voice similar concerns. “The creative-driven branding is all about just grabbing attention, that any publicity is good publicity,� said Bob Brock, president of Parker, Colo.-based Educational Marketing Inc. “That really doesn’t work with higher education because of the serious mission. It’s not like the selling of a reality show.� Those who work in college marketing say branding is not a logo or a gimmick, but an identity — a distinctive personality based on core values and promises that can be delivered. When American University in Washington approved a strategic plan in 2008, branding was part of it. Not well known outside the Beltway or some academic circles, the school was hoping to boost recruiting, get alumni more involved and build a stronger research reputation, among other things, said Teresa Flannery, executive director of university communications and marketing. The team at American came up with the catch phrase “American Wonk�

to communicate what it identified as its distinguishing traits, including politically and socially wired students and location in the nation’s capital. Being a wonk — “know spelled backward� — no longer means just being an insider working behind closed doors, but has broadened to mean someone who is smart, focused, and passionate, said Flannery, citing the school’s research of the term. Students arriving back on campus this fall snatched up free T-shirts with 18 versions of the wonk motif, including Green Wonk and Global Wonk. Others used felt pens to write in their own wonky labels on the shirts — like their residence hall floors. But not everyone was charmed. Complaints under an online article last month in the campus paper said “wonk� called to mind a goose being hit over the head with a shovel or a sexual act. Flannery said the university expected a range of reactions. She said most have been positive, and American has worked to explain the campaign before taking it off campus, including involving students and holding campus luncheons.

“Now, I don’t know what we’re going to do in terms of financing.� The Incarceration Alternatives bracelet not only monitors alcohol use in real time, but also has a global positioning device to track a convicted abuser. If the abuser enters a protected zone, the victim is notified by a cell phone text, and monitors can alert authorities. Carroll Kennedy, a retired Chapel Hill dentist, said he started Incarceration Alternatives after Gov. Bev Perdue was elected and discussed solutions for overcrowded prisons. “The answer has to be electronic monitoring,� Kennedy said. Older models monitored alcohol use, but had a reporting delay. Kennedy found a manufacturer making bracelets that not only monitored alcohol use in real time, but also had a GPS. The company charges $10 a day for using the bracelet, but only a handful are in use. “We’re having a hard time getting through to people who can use it, and we don’t exactly know why,� Kennedy said. “That’s a device that should be used.� Superior Court Judge Joe Buckner, who sits on the crime victims services committee of the Governor’s Crime Com-

mission, has ordered one convicted abuser to wear Incarceration Alternatives’ bracelet because, he said, the company offered it for free on a trial basis. Since 2007, Chatham County has had a pilot program using monitoring bracelets on convicted spousal abusers. Chatham uses Pro Tech, a Floridabased company, because it allows law enforcement officers to do their own monitoring, whereas Incarceration Alternatives does the monitoring for clients, said Lt. Brad Johnson of the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office. “We monitor our own people,� Johnson said. “We get the alarms, and we find out why.� This month is going to be especially tough for the Renn family. Incarceration Alternatives can’t pay him anymore, Renn said, and now he’s trying to build a private therapy practice. In addition, his son, whom he called his best friend, moved away for his first year of college. And in a few days, Cindy Renn will be off to Hayes’ trial, leaving Renn and their daughter for possibly 10 weeks. They can’t afford for both to go, nor do they want to take their daughter out of high school. “I’ll be sitting here by myself with little or no support,� Renn said, teary eyed. “Both my mother and my father are deceased, but it never hit me like this.�

Consolidating Retirement Accounts Can Pay Off — in Many Ways Now that fall is ofďŹ cially here, change is everywhere. The days are shorter and cooler and, in many places, the trees are bursting with color. In preparation for the long winter, squirrels gather nuts and put many of them together in one place. If you’re nearing retirement, you might be able to learn something from our furry friends, as you, too, may want to consolidate some of your assets — in particular, your retirement accounts — as you prepare for a new season in your life. You might be surprised at the number of retirement accounts you’ve accumulated over time. For example, you may have 401(k) plans with a few employers, along with IRAs that you’ve established with different ďŹ nancial services companies. If you were to consolidate all these accounts with just one provider, you might ďŹ nd several key advantages. Possibly the biggest beneďŹ t of consolidating your accounts is that it may make it easier for you to track and manage your retirement assets. Once you retire, you could choose to do any number of things: travel the world, pursue your hobbies, volunteer or even open a small business or do some consulting. But whichever retirement lifestyle you choose to follow, you will need to know how much you can afford to withdraw each year, how you can stay ahead of ination

and how best to control your investmentrelated taxes. You may ďŹ nd it easier to accomplish these things if you have a single, uniďŹ ed investment strategy — and it may be easier to develop such a strategy if you have all your retirement accounts at one place, possibly under the guidance of a single ďŹ nancial advisor. You’ll also ďŹ nd some other beneďŹ ts to consolidating your retirement accounts: s ,ESS FEES n You may be paying fees to several different providers for maintaining your retirement accounts. You might be able to reduce these fees by consolidating your accounts with one provider. s ,ESS TROUBLE CALCULATING DISTRIBUTIONS n Once you reach 70½, you’ll need to take withdrawals, or distributions, from your 401(k) and your traditional IRA. (This requirement does not apply to a Roth IRA.) It’s not that hard to calculate these required minimum distributions from a single IRA or a single 401(k), but if you have a mix of these accounts at different places, you might have to do a lot of

number crunching. If all your accounts were held at the same place, you may have an easier time. s ,ESS CHANCE OF FORGETTING ASSETS n You may ďŹ nd it hard to believe, but plenty of people lose track of their 401(k)s, IRAs and other retirement accounts. In fact, the National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement BeneďŹ ts lists more than 50,000 individuals who are owed beneďŹ ts from 401(k)s, proďŹ t-sharing plans or IRAs and either can’t be reached or don’t respond to inquiries. But if you hold all your retirement accounts in one place, you may be less likely to “misplaceâ€? them than if you kept them in several different ďŹ nancial institutions. Just as summer turns to autumn and autumn turns to winter, the seasons of your life follow one another in seemingly rapid succession. So when you enter your retirement season, make sure you’re prepared — and one way to help that preparation is to consider consolidating your retirement accounts.

Center yourself on Christ

S

everal years ago in “The New Yorker,” there was a cartoon in which a smiling woman was jabbering nonstop to a glum-faced companion. The smiling woman finally says, “Well, that’s enough about me. Now I would like to talk about you. What do you think about me?” We have often met such people, haven’t we? They are inflicted with a disease called egotism. Every time two of them meet it is a case of an “I” for an “I”. Cemeteries are full of people who thought the world could not get along without them. To be self-centered is to be off-centered. No person can be both self-centered and Christcentered. The apostle Paul knew this, for he said, “Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, in order that I might win as many as possible” (I Corinthians 9:19). This is an astonishing statement, especially when you consider that Paul was BMOC (big man on campus) at the seminary headed by the great rabbi Gamaliel. Though Paul faced many enemies, he was often treated with great respect and adulation. In Lystra he was even worshiped as a god (Acts

JENNIFER GENTILE/The Sanford Herald

May Marshbanks, 93, holds her proclamation from the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. Marshbanks has devoted her life to teaching the young and improving the quality of life for the old.

At 93, former teacher still dedicates her time teaching By JENNIFER GENTILE jgentile@sanfordherald.com

LILLINGTON — Although May Marshbanks never had children of her own, she is used to being called “momma.” “I have a lot of youngins,” said the former school teacher and administrator, whom students called “Momma Marshbanks.” “I look back and think about them, some of them have been to see me.” Now 93, Marshbanks has devoted her life to teaching the young and improving the quality of life for the elderly. After 31 years as an educator, she went on to direct Harnett County’s Department on Aging. A native of Buies Creek, Marshbanks studied biology, Latin and music at Meredith

College. At the time, she was considering a career as a doctor. “I realized that I wasn’t emotionally geared for that,” Marshbanks said. “You get too involved.” After graduation, she said, “I sort of foundered around — not knowing what I was gonna do.” One Sunday at church, where she had played the organ in a wedding, the principal of Boone Trail School asked if she had a teaching certificate. After procuring a conditional certificate, she began an $89-per-month job teaching fifth grade at Boone Trail. Three years later, she took a job with Canton City Schools. Administrators were looking for someone to oversee the music program, Marshbanks said,

but at the onset of World War II, she found herself temporarily teaching English, math, band and glee club. “The war came along, and men were being drafted,” she said. “They didn’t need supervisors, they needed teachers in the classroom.” After earning her master’s degree, Marshbanks began a 21-year stint year stint at Chapel Hill High School — where she taught and was a guidance counselor before moving up to assistant principal and principal. In 1955, she earned the distinction of being the state’s first and only female principal in a public senior high school. “Since I was the first one, that was a little different for the young people,” Marshbanks

s I awake on these cool mornings Mother Nature and Father Sky beckon me. Following the call I go outside where I feel closest to God and in harmony with the Universe. While walking around my yard and the neighborhood I feel a kinship with the grass, trees, flowers, bushes, butterflies, and birds. One morning while checking e-mail and reviewing Facebook on the computer I came across a quote: “What if our religion was each other, If our practice was life, If prayer, our words? What if the temple was the earth, If forests were our church, If holy water – the rivers, lakes and ocean? What if meditation was our relationship, If the teacher was life, If wisdom was self-knowl-

Special to The Herald Except for skin cancer, the most common cancer in American men is prostate cancer. At age 45, men have a 1 in 2,500 risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer. This risk increases with age, eventually leading to a 1 in 6 chance of a man being diagnosed with the disease throughout his lifetime. Fortunately, Dr. Purvis the relative five-year survival rate for the disease is very high at nearly 100 percent and the relative 10-year survival rate is 91 percent. So how can men stay ahead of prostate cancer? They can start by talking to their doctor about being screened for the disease. The prostate is a gland

about the size of a walnut that is located in front of the rectum just below the bladder. It wraps around the urethra, which carries urine out of the body. The prostate is part of a man’s reproductive organs and is responsible for producing fluid. William Purvis, MD, a urologist on staff at Central Carolina Hospital, says the prostate specific antigen screening, or PSA, is the easiest method for detecting prostate problems, including cancer. “PSA is a protein made in the prostate,” he said. “An elevation in the level of PSA means something is abnormal with the prostate.” A PSA test requires drawing a small amount of blood and checking the PSA level. Men with prostate problems often have higher PSA test results, but other factors, including age, race, some medical

said, “but we worked together and we made it.” Marshbanks liked the face-to-face interaction with students and preferred teaching over administrating. She described a good teacher as someone who is versed in the subject they teach and cares for her students. “Being a teacher, you teach more than a subject, “she said. “You teach character.” During one memorable math class, one of Marshbanks’s students overcomplicated a geometry problem. She told him he could still solve the equation, but she showed him how it could be done more simply. “I said, ‘that’s life,’” she

Healing without hospitals an option

I

n 2009, the Journal of the American Medical Association described restorative medicine as “the science of care.” And now, “restorative medicine”, emerging as a strong choice for those preferring health without hospitals or minimal medication, has come to North Carolina. Similar to naturopathic medicine, restorative medicine focuses on supporting and strengthening the body through the use of healthy lifestyle practices and naturally occurring substances such as plant-based whole food, healthy influence and environment, and quality formulas of vitamins, minerals, and botanicals when helpful. Restorative medicine is particularly aimed at restoring health such that people will remain improved even after conventional treatments and medical supplements have been stopped. This is true health restoration, or a “graduation” back into optimal health, as I call it. Becoming a Certified Restorative Medicine physician requires attending an international certification conference, and passing the course exam. In North Carolina, there are only two of us certified in Restorative Medicine. The other certified practitioner is a medical doctor in Ashville. This is a specialty outside the coverage of medical insurance, as restoring health is not

procedures, an enlarged prostate and an infection in the prostate, also may affect PSA levels. “If we detect a higher level of PSA, that’s when we have to look further to find out why it’s elevated,” Purvis said, explaining that a biopsy or ultrasound is usually the next step in looking into prostate problems. Purvis said an increase of 7/10ths in the PSA level within a year is usually

treating the diagnosis with medication, as does conventional medical practices, but instead assists the body to repair itself while training the person how to maintain health without drugs or frequent trips to the doctor. It begins with the obvious, common sense changes that will make the biggest impact on the overall health of the person, and then expands into finer and finer details from there as the foundational pieces begin to take root and health begins to improve. Often restoring health begins by correcting the misinformation that has been leading the person down the wrong path. This requires great trust in the knowledge and experience of the practitioner and the ability to turn lose of ‘old ways’ and possibly ill-informed advisors. Conditions and symptoms that are helped most by restorative medicine involve those where nutritional deficiencies are a factor, hormone imbalances have become a problem, a misdiagnosis has been made, or side cause for further tests. And while an increase in the level does not necessarily mean cancer, it is something that should be followed up with by a physician. The PSA screening is only part of the test. The physician will likely also perform a digital rectal exam, or DRE. With this exam, the physician feels the size of the prostate for any abnormal lumps or areas. If prostate cancer is found, men have numerous treatment options depending on their age, overall health, if the cancer

effects from medications have taken its toll on health. Usually, these affect the endocrine system (such as thyroid and adrenals) and will eventually appear as symptoms of extreme fatigue, brain ‘fog’, insomnia, or abnormal and unexpected lab findings. Sometimes the lab ordering doctor will not comment of the high or low values found on the lab work, yet these are often the first indications that something is developing and not quite right. Restorative medicine professionals are trained to identify these subtle changes in lab work and address them before they manifest into hard-to-reverse symptoms. (Always ask for copies of your own lab work and keep them in a notebook.) We work together with the primary care physicians to develop a plan that may include both conventional and natural science medicine options. The first step to restoring optimal health is to discover the obstacles standing in the way of health and remove or alter them. This involves a trusting partnership between guide (the doctor) and the follower (the patient) and willingness to make some minor, but common sense, changes. Depending on the length of the health depletion and the dedication of the patient, restoring optimal health can take anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Having arrived at the ‘graduation’, how-

ever, both a wealth of personal health knowledge has been attained and the habits of health and happiness have been learned. It is now up to self-reliance and self-discipline to maintain success as we are not made of steel, but instead, organic cells that if given the opportunity can return to ill health. Fortunately, we now have a choice of health restoration. No more do we need to accept the medical excuse for aging as, “You are just getting old,” or “At your age, you are supposed to feel that way.” We now know, that accelerated aging is not normal, but an effect of something missing or out of balance. Once restored, a person can often regain energy, happiness, and longevity. It requires, however, much more than sitting in a doctor’s office like a robot; it requires personal interest, a trusted partnership, and action. For those genuinely wanting to restore their health and who understand the financial investment and what its rewards can be, restorative medicine may hold the answers for a symptom-free life and health without hospitals.

has spread, and presence of any other medical conditions. Prostate cancer can be managed through watchful waiting, surgery, external radiation therapy, internal radiation therapy, hormone therapy or cryotherapy. “Treatment is varied depending on a number of factors,” Purvis explained. “If the patient has a life expectancy of more than 10 years, our recommendation is usually definitive treatment to cure the cancer. If the patient has a life expectancy of less than that, we usually recommend symptomatic treatment.” Purvis said early detection is a huge factor in the successful treatment of prostate cancer. “If it’s detected early, it’s very treatable,” he said. “And the PSA is the modality we use to detect prostate cancer.” The American Cancer Society recommends that men with no symptoms of

prostate cancer who are in relatively good health should start talking with their doctor about being screened for the disease at age 50. Men at high risk for developing prostate cancer, which includes African-Americans and those who have a father, brother or son diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 65, should start these conversations earlier, at age 45. Men who have multiple family members diagnosed with the disease before age 65 should start at age 40. Men who do not have symptoms of prostate cancer but are not expected to live more than 10 years due to poor health or advanced age are generally not advised to have a prostate cancer screening. For a referral to a physician who can address prostate health, please call Central Carolina Hospital’s physician referral line at 800-483-6385.

mainstream America. White’s words touched my heart deeply. I thought about the concept of religion being connected closely with our relationship with each other, how we treat the people we love and the ones we do not like or even know. I could see that spirituality relates to who we are in terms of our feelings, our thoughts, our beliefs, our behaviors, our actions, our deeds, our endeavors, etc. I resonate with White’s idea that prayers are the words we use while connecting with a Higher Power so we need to also make positive statements to others and to ourselves. If we talk negatively we are creating energy that does not serve anyone. With gossip we are spreading ugliness to our listener and sending destructive energy to the victim of our disapproving judgment. If we pray for someone’s healing but then tell others this person is sick and even dying, then we are perpetuating pessimism and not believing the restoration of the person’s health. When we don’t believe our own prayers can be answered

recalled. “If you mess up your life, you get to a point where it can be cleaned up, but it can be a real problem to do it.” Reflecting on her career in education, Marshbanks said, “I’m just proud of the opportunity I had to help these young people develop their lives.” In 1970, Marshbanks retired and returned to Harnett County with no plans to work again. A year later, following the

then we are creating negative energy around their healing. The concept of the earth as a temple resonates for me because when I connect with nature I am in a sacred place. I relish working in the yard and walking in the woods. For me, being around water is holy, and I especially enjoy my personal pond next to my house as well as the river nearby, lakes, and the ocean. When I am watering my flowers, I feel I am giving back to nature a small token of my appreciation. Meditation is a ritual practiced in some churches whereas people sit silently while soothing music is playing or a minister is talking softly. For me meditation is broader…it is emptying the mind of thoughts and worries as a way of promoting spiritual peace, mental relaxation, and physical rest. Quiet contemplation enhances our connection to ourselves, to a higher power, and to life itself. White says life is our teacher, and it is through soulful and gut-wrenching experiences and our faith in God that we learn to live abundantly. Through understanding who we really can we become wiser and therefore can offer more gifts freely to others.

The fundamental principle in most world religions is love — demonstrated through loving our Lord, loving life, loving ourselves, loving others, and loving the earth and the universe. If love is the center of our being then everything else flows…we live in harmony with people and the planet. While being with nature I feel in tune with myself, family, friends, the environment…with everyone and everything in the universe. I vow to take time each day to walk and talk with God, to express gratitude for every flower, even every weed, in my yard and in my life. Yes, Life is our teacher and through experiences on this planet we gain the insights to serve God and others.

White House Conference on Aging, county leaders wanted to start a program for the elderly and asked her to write a grant application. The non-profit Harnett County Council for Senior Citizens was born of her efforts, and it later became the Harnett County Department on Aging. As of last year, it became a division of the Harnett County Health Department. The division assists older adults with referrals for services, transportation, nutrition, family caregiver support and other needs. The RSVP, Program, which provides volunteer opportunities for seniors, is among those Marshbanks helped implement. “Her influence is still here in the people she served and the programs that she started,” said Nancy Wright, the division’s volunteer services director. One of Marshbanks’s outstanding attributes is her memory, and according to Wright, she never

forgets a face. “I always told her she’d probably forgotten more than I would ever know,” Wright said. “She has an incredible mind.” These days, Marshbanks applies that mind in more leisurely pursuits. Working the crosswords and other word puzzles in the daily newspaper is among her favorite pastimes. “I stay busy,” she said, “I try to keep my mind doing something.” Marshbanks has received dozens of plaques, certificates and awards over the years, which she has stored in boxes or tucked away in drawers. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine — one of the most prestigious awards presented by the North Carolina governor — is among her commendations. As those who know her can attest, the former teacher is not one to boast about her accomplishments. “I’m not a person to be proud,” Marshbanks said. “I’m grateful.”

back over his shoulder and see Israel marching into the New Jerusalem. Where did Paul get this selflessness? How could he be so others-oriented, so willing to take on the role of a servant? Obviously it was because he found the words of Christ to be true, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). He could say to all Christians, many of whom he had severely persecuted, “I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you” (Romans 1:8; I Corinthians 1:4). In Beyond Personality, C.S. Lewis wrote: “Give up yourself, and you’ll find your real self. Lose your life and you’ll save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes, every day and you will find eternal life . . . . Keep nothing back. Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died (including egotism) will ever be raised from the dead.” In other words, be Christ-centered and others-centered, not selfcentered. That is what it means to live the Christian life.

14:8-13). Prior to his Damascus Road conversion experience he daily prayed the traditional prayer that every Jewish man prayed: “Thank You, God, for not making me a Gentile, a slave, or a woman.” He spent every day of his life thanking God that he was not a slave — now he was turned into one. This was true, not because Christ had exercised any undue authority over him, but because he had chosen to become a slave. Everything that he was, and everything that he owned, belonged to the One who had redeemed him and had commissioned him to carry the gospel to the Gentiles throughout the Mediterranean world. In his letter to the Romans Paul even said he was willing to cut himself off from salvation, if by doing so he might save Israel (Romans 9:3). He was fully willing to suffer the horrors of hell — which involved eternal separation from a loving God — if he could look

Kiwanis Club of Sanford

Melanie Schmitz, the school counselor at Deep River Elementary School, spoke briefly on the char-

acter-building program in which members of the Kiwanis Club of Sanford will be participating. Each month will emphasize a specific character trait. A speaker will present a short program on that month’s trait with the six grade classes and a Kiwanian will be available to lead a discussion on that trait. Dr. Jeff Moss, Superintendent of the Lee County Schools, has spent 26 years in education with 12 of those as a superintendent of schools. He and his wife have three daughters, two of whom have graduated from East Carolina University and the third is currently a student there. Dr. Moss described to the members of the Kiwanis Club of Sanford the preparations that have been made to equip the students of the 21st century. Most people in Lee County have been made aware of the STEM program that emphasizes Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The United States has seen a decline in numbers for scientists and engineers and needs to improve in these areas. Last year Lee County focused on these areas for all three middle schools and both high schools. The newspaper reported on the opportunities now available for students to work “hands-on” for designing rockets and race cars and learning about engines and lathes and how they work. Inside the schools themselves, new technologies are present in the form of smart boards and projectors. Students are equipped with “response clickers” to answer questions and provide instant feedback to the teachers. A 1:1 laptop program was introduced to the three middle schools last year and into several elementary schools this year. Laptops are provided to the students during the term and returned to the school at the end of the school year. The laptops are equipped with LoJack, a GPS locator system and are insured against accidental damage. An i3D program has been introduced at the high schools for students to design and develop the type of 3D images now seen in such movies as Avatar and the new Alice in Wonderland. The latest headliner item has been the Head of the Class Project that brought many distinguished leaders to Sanford including Gov. Beverly Perdue; Former Gov. Jim Holshouser; former Gov. Jim Hunt; former U.S. Education Secretary Richard Riley; State Superintendent June Atkinson; and Bill Harrison, chairman of the State Board of Education. Gordon Bailey, Seth Cox, Dan Jones and Joe Lawrence visited the Kiwanis Club of Pinehurst on Sept. 2. Gordon Bailey, Bob Brickhouse, Ed Garrison and Dan Jones had an Interclub visit with the Kiwanis Club of Raeford on Sept. 3.

Association Education for educators. She is based in the Fayetteville office and will be available if needed. The program consisted of the kick off for the “Our State” magazine. Amy Jo Wood, marketing director, and Hank Godwin, associate director, met with the educators. Wood related that she has met with Lee County for 13 years.

The speakers for the evening were member George Noel and his wife Virginia. They presented an interesting program on their recent trip to six European countries. Their trip began in Amsterdam where they visited the Anne Frank house, toured along the many canals and visited a diamond processing company. The tour continued into Germany where they visited Rothenburg, a town founded in the Middle Ages completely surrounded by high walls and a moat (now dry), then onto Mannheim and Cologne. The next stop was the trips highlight — to see the Passion play presented in Oberammer-

Pictured (from left) are Lee County Retired School Personnel President Eugenia Thompson; Hank Godwin of Our State magazine, Ruth Gurtis; the organization’s Our State chairman; and Amy Wood of Our State magazine. gau by all local residents. This play has been presented continuously every 10 years since around 1640. Next, on into Austria to Innsbruck where the Winter Olympics have been held and its famous shopping district. After Austria it was through the Italian Alps via the Brenner Pass onto Venice also famous for its canals. After two days here the tour continued on into Switzerland through more of the scenic Alps with stops in Lucerne and Montreaux. Up to this point the tour was by bus. In Montreux they boarded one of the famous “bullet” trains to Paris where they spent two days visiting such famous sights as the Louvre, Notre Dame and the West Bank. They said that the food was good and that English was widely spoken. However, prices were on the high side. For example, a bottled soft drink could range from about $2 to over $9 depending on the purchase location. The concessions committee reported that the baseball season is over and wishes to thank all that participated in helping at the concession stands and that only a few pieces of equipment are left to get at the Tramway stand to wrap up the project completely. There were no motions presented for action. The next scheduled meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 23 at the clubhouse.
