SANFORD — One Lee County elementary school could soon be $5,000 richer with a little help from the local community. J.R. Ingram Elementary is one of 30 finalists still in the running for a $5,000 grant from the Windstream Classroom Connections Spirit Awards. The 10 schools that receive the most votes will each receive a grant. “Our goal in applying for the grant was to increase the 1:1 program so other classes could use it,” said Kim Collazo, whose fourth grade class at J.R. Ingram participated in the 1:1 program last year. Voting was initially set to end Aug. 17 but has been extended to Sept. 7. Beginning Aug. 30, the number of votes will be visible on each school’s page so voters can track the school’s progress. Supporters can vote for their school once per day. Collazo said her class has received tremendous sup-

SANFORD — For a local business owner, getting 763 miles per gallon out of a Toyota Prius was falling short of its capability. “I knew if our system worked as planned, we could probably have gotten better mileage than that,” said David Taylor, owner and founder of Taylor Automotive in Sanford. Taylor’s 2008 Prius, outfitted with a plug-in electric conversion kit, easily took a gas mileage competition in July in Madison, Wis. The challenge was part of the 2010 Green Drive Expo, which drew thousands of

Taylor’s Re-Involt Technologies competed against nearly 30 others in the Wisconsin challenge in July. clean energy enthusiasts to the Midwest. Taylor and his wife, Rita, entered the miles-per-gallon challenge as Re-InVolt Technologies — a division of Taylor Automotive. Their specially-equipped

Prius was one of 25 to 30 competitors in the challenge. The vehicles were subjected to a 25-mile course, which combined interstate, rural and city driving conditions. Last year’s winning mileage, according to Taylor, was 195 miles per gallon. “I felt pretty good going into it that we’d do well,” he said. Taylor’s conversion kit consists of a large additional battery, which is installed in the rear of the Prius. The kit will allow the car to go 52 mph for one hour on electric power. While Taylor and his wife have attended several trade shows, this was their first time

MOORE COUNTY

SANFORD — The scorching summer heat has brought on a nationwide blood shortage, according to the American Red Cross. The organization issued an urgent call for blood donors Monday, with the Carolinas Blood Services Region bringing in 13 percent fewer donors this summer than expected. “The Red Cross provides 100 percent of the blood for all local hospitals,” said Abby Cameron, Lee County coordinator for the American Red Cross. “It’s crucial. If anyone needs blood for an emergency or cancer treatments or anything, that blood comes from donors who donate to the Red Cross.” About 25 percent of the Carolinas Region’s blood supply comes from blood drives at high schools and colleges, so it’s typical for donations to decrease in the summer, said Sherry Mitchell, director of biomedical services for the Red Cross Triangle Area Chapter. “With more people traveling this time of year, the need for blood usually increases while the number of donors decreases,” Mitchell said. Cameron said the intense heat this summer has also kept more people indoors and away from blood drives.

Settlement reached in charter suit By ALEXA MILAN amilan@sanfordherald.com

VASS — The parties involved in the lawsuit against members of the Sandhills Theatre Arts and Renaissance School board of directors reached a settlement Thursday in Superior Court after a failed attempt at mediation last week.

HAPPENING TODAY The Festival Singers of Lee County will rehearse at 7 p.m. in the choir room of First Presbyterian Church, located at 203 Hawkins Avenue in Sanford. This community group welcomes new and returning members to join and sing in its upcoming Dec. 5 holiday concert. For more information, call 776-3624. CALENDAR, PAGE 2A

The Moore County charter school, its parent teacher organization and three members of its board of directors have been embroiled in the lawsuit against the other five board members since Aug. 6. A judge ordered Aug. 10 that the two sides resolve their issues through mediation, which was ultimately unsuccessful. The plaintiffs accused John

Langley, Al Haltiwanger, Bonnie McPeake, O’Linda Gillis and Larry Graham of remaining on the board beyond the maximum permitted term, holding illegal meetings in violation of the North Carolina Open Meetings Law and ignoring directives from the N.C. Office of Charter Schools.

This day in history: On Aug. 24, A.D. 410, Rome was overrun by the Visigoths, a major event in the fall of the Western Roman Empire. In A.D. 79, long-dormant Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in volcanic ash; an estimated 20,000 people died. In 1814, during the War of 1812, British forces invaded Washington D.C., setting fire to the Capitol and the White House, as well as other buildings. In 1932, Amelia Earhart embarked on a 19-hour flight from Los Angeles to Newark, N.J., making her the first woman to fly solo, non-stop, from coast to coast. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act, outlawing the Communist Party in the United States. In 1989, Baseball Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti banned Pete Rose from the game for betting on his own team, the Cincinnati Reds. The Voyager 2 space probe flew by Neptune, sending back striking photographs.

Commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home destroyed by fire

CARTHAGE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A lightning strike may have caused a fire that destroyed the home of two North Carolina commissioners. Firefighters were called to the home of Larry and Lisa Caddell of Carthage early Friday morning. Fire Chief Brian Tyner says when firefighters arrived, most of the house had burned to the ground. Investigators say a tree near the house had been struck by lightning sending an electrical surge into the house. Larry Caddell is a Moore County commissioner. His wife, Lisa, is a Carthage town commissioner. The Caddells were away on vacation at the time and no one was injured.

felt about establishing a new water authority. Supporters say a water authority could unify the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complex patchwork of suppliers and consumers. It could be a single body that would undertake infrastructure upgrades and plan for the long-term -- 20 or 50 years. But Moore County has tried this before and it failed. County commissioners disbanded the Moore Water and Sewer Authority in 1999 after it became tainted by politics. Southern Pines, Aberdeen, Carthage and Robbins own water systems. The county supplies water to Pinehurst, the Seven Lakes community and the residents of eastern Moore County and handles wastewater at its plant in Addor. It buys water from Southern Pines, Aberdeen and Harnett County. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fayetteville Observer

Board considers regional water authority in towns

CARTHAGE (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Members of a Moore County water task force think a new water authority could solve the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term water problems. But as support for the initiative builds, so, too, do challenges. The town boards in Southern Pines and Carthage have passed nonbinding resolutions calling on the task force to study a regional authority that would manage the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water and wastewater. Aberdeen, Pinehurst, Robbins and Whispering Pines are scheduled to take up the issue, said Patrick Coughlin, president of the Moore County Chamber of Commerce and a task force organizer. County commissioners plan to consider a similar resolution at their Sept. 7 meeting, Chairman Tim Lea said. Lea would not say how he planned to vote, or how he

PITTSBORO (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A consultant has identified 14 potential landfill sites in Chatham County if the commissioners decide to keep trash inside the county. A final recommendation is not expected until January. The consultant identified the preliminary sites based on parcel size and state rules that require landfills to be a certain distance from airports, watersheds and other protected areas. Chatham County generates about 180 tons of waste a day and trucks it more than 80 miles to be buried outside the county, said solid waste director Dan LaMontagne. A 2009 study estimated that a new county landfill would save Chatham taxpayers $190 million over 45 years. If the county built a larger 500-ton a day regional landfill that took waste from surrounding localities, the county would save even more money. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Cary News

Ex-Marine convicted of killing pregnant colleague By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press Writer

GOLDSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A former Marine was convicted Monday of murder in the death of a pregnant colleague who accused him of rape, an allegation that threatened to derail a military career that had earned him promotions and praise. Cesar Laurean, 23, of Las Vegas, was found guilty of killing Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, 20, of Vandalia, Ohio, in December 2007. The two were assigned to the same logistics unit at Camp Lejeune, the base in Jacksonville that is home to about 50,000 Marines. The trial was moved because of extensive pretrial publicity. The former Marine corporal was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder. The victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Mary Lauterbach, read a tearful statement before the judge imposed the sentence. She told Laurean to remember the pain in his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face, and to think of the daughter who will have to live with the shame of a father who is a killer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now you will have time to think about your shame, time to think about your failures,â&#x20AC;? Mary Lauterbach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many people out there who will die today, people who would love to have the time that God has given you.â&#x20AC;? One juror said the panel didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the theory presented by defense lawyer Dick McNeil that someone else, perhaps Laureanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enraged wife, could have killed Lauterbach with a single swing of a crowbar that

The jury of seven women and five men deliberated for three hours Monday before convicting Laurean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thought entered out minds, but everything pointed to the fact that he is the one who did this crime,â&#x20AC;? juror Brenda Peters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went back over every speck of evidence that there was, piece by piece. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we reached our verdict.â&#x20AC;? Neither Laurean nor his wife testified during the trial. Laureanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Salvador, and sister Blanca said they wished more of the testimony would have explained the problems the ex-Marine had with Lauterbach, whom the higher-ranking Laurean was ordered by superiors to help shape up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice, nice guy,â&#x20AC;? Blanca Laurean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He

doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve everyone thinking heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the worst man in the world. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not.â&#x20AC;? McNeil told the court Laurean would appeal his conviction. Laurean also faced three other charges of robbing Lauterbach of her bank ATM card, and of theft and attempted fraud for allegedly trying to use it to withdraw cash. He was found not guilty of the robbery charge, but Laurean was convicted on the fraud and theft charges. Lauterbachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rape accusation never was corroborated, but a Marine buddy testified Laurean told him the sex was consensual. A DNA test would prove later that Laurean was not the father of Lauterbachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s child. She was seven months pregnant when she died. Even if the rape accusa-

tion was false, the married father of a young child faced having his career derailed for committing adultery with a subordinate, District Attorney Dewey Hudson said. Laurean had already faced an order to stay away from Lauterbach, and his Marine superiors said a hearing on the rape allegation was approaching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a married man. He was her boss. He had sex with her,â&#x20AC;? Hudson told jurors in his closing argument. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s damned if he does or damned if he donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;? Laurean, who was born in Mexico, fled his home and was on the run until police arrested him in April 2009 in the Mexican municipality of Tacambaro. Prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty so Mexican authorities would return Laurean, who was born in Guadalajara, to the U.S. Laurean was kicked out of the Marines after fleeing as investigators closed in. Testimony showed that hours before Lauterbach was last seen alive, she withdrew $700, left a note for her roommate saying she was quitting the Marines, and bought a bus ticket to El Paso, Texas, on the Mexican border. Lauterbach told the ticket agent that her child was fathered by a fellow Marine she was barred from seeing, but that she expected him to join her soon. The same Marine buddy, Lance Cpl. Blake Costa, testified that Laurean told him he wanted to tell Lauterbach she could stay with his relatives in Mexico, where he would send her money and join her later.

HEADACHES Within a matter of several weeks, the treatment my son received at Ammons Chiropractic ended his severe headaches. All through childhood, my son experienced occasional headaches, usually occurring suddenly, and sometimes severe enough that sleep provided the only relief. At age 15, he began to have headaches more frequently, sometimes several times in a day, and three to four times a week. Conventional medical blood tests revealed no clues, an eye exam and an MRI showed nothing abnormal, but the headaches continued. My son could feel a difference seconds after the ďŹ rst treatment, and within two weeks experienced no more of the debilitating head pain.

Senior Expo a valuable resource in Sanford

ne of the more popular yearly events in Central Carolina will take place this Wednesday at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. That’s when the eighth annual Boomer Senior & Caregiver Expo will be held — with free admission and parking. The schedule includes the Lee County Idol competition, with the final performance at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $3 in advance, $5 the day of the Expo, with limited seats available. The Expo itself is a grand event that is packed full of exhibitors. In addition, there are a variety of free health screening opportunities. Those include

screenings for cholesterol, blood sugar, pulmonary function, hearing, height and weight, blood pressure, spinal and posture screening, feet discussions, balance, body mass, body mass, body fat, bone density, memory and more. There even is the opportunity to sign up for flu shots. And there are a variety of interesting presentations throughout the day, including “Tinnitus,” “Chest Pain — When to call 911,” “Easing Caregiver Burden with TeleHealth Medical Monitoring,” “Healthy Feet are Happy Feet,” “Positive Aging: Fitness for the Brain,” “Hearing Aids — Latest and Greatest,”

“Listening Therapy,” “Sandwich Generation — The Family Squeeze,” “Income Generation & Wealth Preservation Beyond Retirement,” “Avoid Caregiver Burnout,” and “Advances in Arthritis and Joint Replacement.” So what makes the Expo so special? It’s an opportunity for boomers, seniors and caregivers to get needed information in one location — and, in some cases, to learn more about certain issues or to have certain health screenings that they might otherwise not have convenient access. As Judi Womack, Expo coordinator, noted in this year’s Expo special edition that appeared in

The Herald, “We continue our Expo mission to bring boomers, seniors and family caregivers together with the products, services and information that are invaluable to maintaining their quality of life. And, we desire for you to have a lot of fun, too, all free of charge!” There are many people who help to make such an Expo the success that it has become over the years, including the Steering Committee comprised of Judi Womack, Tami Carter, Laurie Draughn, Janice Holmes, Melanie Rodgers, Dellena Nicholson, Sandra Bridges, Katrina Johnson, Johanne Estes, Barbara Clayton, Helen

Hincks, Margaret Minuth, Karen Hall, Shane Seagroves, Diane Foushee, Shannon Butner and Dana Smith. There are many volunteers who also are critical to the success of the event. And, the Expo would not be possible without the many sponsors. While this Expo targets boomers, seniors and family caregivers, there may be others who want to learn more about what is available to assist this segment of our population. The Herald is proud to be one of the platinum sponsors of this most worthy event that serves as a tremendous resource event for our community.

Letters to the Editor Love hasn’t been responsive to his district To the Editor:

Froma Harrop Columnist Froma Harrop is a columnist with The Providence Journal

Saving our economic hide

larence the angel has a tough job in “It’s a Wonderful Life.” He must show the suicidal George Bailey what terrible things would have happened had he not been born. Two prominent economists are playing Clarence to the multitudes who believe that forceful government intervention during the financial meltdown should never have been. Using econometric models, Alan Blinder and Mark Zandi argue that the bailouts, the stimulus and other extraordinary actions saved America from nothing less than another Great Depression. Blinder was vice chairman of the Federal Reserve. Zandi is chief economist at Moody’s Analytics and advised Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Had Washington not taken any aggressive steps starting in 2008, the results would have been horrific, their study says. Real gross domestic product would have fallen a “stunning” 12 percent, rather than the actual decline of 4 percent. Nearly 17 million jobs would have vanished, twice as many as the real count. And the unemployment rate would have peaked at 16.5 percent. The campaign trail is not a welcoming place for careful analysis. Tea party favorites routinely bash their opponents (often fellow Republicans) for having supported the stimulus and various government rescues. In Arizona, Republican Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth pounds incumbent McCain for having supported the $700 billion bank bailout, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program. In Texas, Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison lost a primary race for governor, many say, because she voted for TARP. ... Such contenders often cite Barack Obama’s projection (they use the word “promise”) that unemployment would level off at 8.5 percent once Congress passed his stimulus plan. With joblessness now at 9.5 percent, Obama clearly underestimated the challenge, but that’s still a whole lot better than 16.5 percent. Ignoring what might have happened had the government not launched a vigorous response may be irresponsible, but it can be good politics. That’s because many Americans — seeing the weak job picture and forgetting their own terror during the early days of the economic freefall — can be convinced that such polices were ineffective and possibly counterproductive. ... One number the public does see and understandably dislikes is the federal budget deficit. Most assume that TARP and the various recessionfighting programs helped raise the deficit to $1.4 trillion in fiscal 2010. But how many have considered what that number might have been with no policy response? Blinder and Zandi have. Recessions themselves fuel deficits by raising social spending and lowering tax revenues. Thus, government programs that make economic downturns shallower and end them sooner can pay for themselves. If Washington had not reacted as quickly and as forcefully as it did, the two economists write, “the costs to U.S. taxpayers would have been vastly greater.”

Helping unemployed T here are almost 15 million unemployed workers in the country, double the number since the recession began in late 2007. There are over 450,000 unemployed workers in North Carolina, also twice the number since the start of the recession. A big question is, how should these unemployed workers be helped? Many economists say the answer not only impacts the unemployed but may also help determine how fast unemployment falls and the competitiveness of our future economy. Wow! When I was a youngster in the 1950s, my father — who worked as a carpenter in the construction industry — would be periodically unemployed. His stretches of joblessness would generally last a week or two — normally no more than a month — and his unemployment was often related to bad weather. In the Midwest, where I grew up, snow storms in the winter and heavy rain in the spring would bring construction to a halt for short periods of time. During his weeks of idleness, my father would collect unemployment benefits. The money wasn’t lavish, but it was enough to get my father’s family through the lean times until the weather cleared and he could go back to work. Unemployment benefits — also called unemployment compensation — is still the main way we help the unemployed today. Begun in the 1930s, the system was established as a type of insurance program where employers (but implicitly, employees) contributed money to a central fund. The fund was then used to make payments to those unlucky enough to become unemployed. This system works well as long as two conditions are present — the periods of unemployment are short and temporary and there’s relative stability in the economy in terms of the types of skills and occupations needed from the workforce. Actually, the two conditions are related. If there are big shifts in the types of available jobs, then there’s likely to be longer periods of unemployment until workers get retrained. But this is exactly why some economists say the current unemployment compensation system isn’t working today. Several factors — among them technological advances and international outsourcing — have combined to reshape businesses’ labor needs during the last three decades. Many office, administrative and sales jobs have been replaced by technology (mainly computers), and factory jobs and even skilled crafts occupations have seen their numbers decline as a result of foreign competitors and modern machinery and equipment. Consequently, unemployment is becoming chronic rather than temporary for an increasing number of workers. Today, almost half of the unemployed workers have been without a job for six months or more. This has strained the unemployment compensation systems of many states and caused the

Dr. Mike Walden You Decide Dr. Mike Walden is an economist with N.C. Cooperative Extension

federal government to kick in money to extend the number of weeks that unemployed workers can collect benefits. Critics say this is just putting a bandage on the situation, and what is needed is real surgery. They say now is the time to dramatically change how unemployed workers are helped while at the same time improving the match between the skills of the unemployed and the skills needed by employers. How could this be accomplished? It could be done by converting the system of weekly unemployment checks to one large up-front check provided to a worker when he first becomes unemployed. This lump sum amount could be in the thousands, or perhaps, tens of thousands of dollars. The unemployed worker would be required to use the funds for living expenses, but in addition, for skill retraining or relocation to regions where jobs are more plentiful. In this way the unemployment compensation system would motivate jobless workers to arm themselves with the training needed by today’s businesses and also to move to where the jobs are located, thereby — one hopes — reducing the unemployment rate faster than under the current system. Of course, this won’t work for everyone, raising the question of what to do for people who spend their lump-sum unemployment check and still can’t find a job. There’s also the practical fact of the government needing to come up with a large amount of money at a single point in time rather than spreading those payments over several weeks. But the current system appears to be out of date given the new realities of the labor market. Maybe it is time to go to plan B. You decide if the lump sum system, or something else, could move our unemployment problem off square one!

Today’s Prayer Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. (Philippians 4:14) PRAYER: Father, help me to be aware of others in distress, so that I might be of service to them. Amen.

Re: Randall Yow’s letter about Mike Stone event featuring Pat McCrory. It truly amazes me how the left will spend time calling those of us who are for freedom, tax cuts for all, etc., names instead of debating issues. To the contrary, Jimmy Love is not responsive to our issues. We have one of the highest unemployment rates in the state. Yet, Mr. Love, and his friends in Raleigh continue to employ legislation that hurts us or makes no sense at all. They look everywhere and anywhere to raise taxes and to penalize those of us who work and want to work to provide for our families. Let’s recount a few of Love’s achievements: ■ Got to give him this one: He did introduce a bill that eliminated high school seniors from having to do a project to graduate. ■ HB 2: Prohibit smoking in public places. Ha. Our government can’t afford for smokers to quit. ■ HB 88: Healthy Youth Act — Keep our children from drinking chocolate milk in day care. What a hero. ■ HB 121: Regulation of golf carts by local governments. Huh? ■ HB 80: Ban internet sweepstakes. And who will take it over? N.C. government. Brilliant! Take jobs from the citizens so the government can get their hands on another industry. And screw it up as they usually do. ■ HB 291: Hair Braider Licensure/Cosmetic Act — Is Mr. Love coming after all the moms who braid their daughters’ hair? I’m guilty! ■ HB 401: Boone Occupancy tax — well, that hits me because I love a trip to the mountains. Wait, I don’t live in Boone. So that will hit the hotel industry in a part of the state that is suffering from the economic downturn. ■ HB 531: I think this is my favorite — Affordable Housing for Teachers/Edgecombe County/ “Edgecombe Co. School System can use local funds, including its Edgecombe Learning Fund, to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire real property on which such housing would be located ...” As for the last one, we continue to allow millions upon millions of dollars to be thrown at education, do not see significant increases in SAT scores, and yet allow the funds to be used for housing for teachers? If Jimmy really cared, he would get out of our back pockets, reduce our taxes and allow access to affordable housing and living for all. And Mr. Yow also states, “After all, our local voters are not stupid enough to believe something just because a big city snake oil salesman tells them so.” Really? Seems they believed that one from Chicago who promised “hope and change,” a better America and transparency “pass the stimulus” so unemployment will not go above 8 percent (12.3 in Lee County according to June records). We expect the left to call us names because that’s the only defense they have. And they do it to distract from all of the other atrocities Nancy, Harry and Obamalites are doing to this country. The Creator who gave me unalienable rights that are being trampled on daily by Mr. Yow’s party, such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness also said, “Laughter is good medicine.” Thanks for the dose.

Prius Continued from Page 1A

participating in the Drive Expo. Green technology devotees gather at the event, now in its fifth year, to share information and celebrate eco-friendly vehicles. In the beginning, “It really was a bunch of enthusiasts who wanted to get together,” said expo organizer Eric Powers. “A lot of it is education and letting people know what alternatives are out there.” This year’s event featured several speakers, displays of Toyota and Ford’s latest green technology and a questionand-answer session with the University of Wisconsin Hybrid Team. In the future, judges in the miles-per-gallon challenge will be able to measure electricity use as well as fuel economy. “It’s definitely a category that’s expanding,” Powers said. Referring to Taylor, Powers said, “He even took it easy. He could have done even better.” Re-InVolt started in 2008 when Taylor built a conversion for a Dodge truck. Before founding the new division of his company in 2008, Taylor had wanted to partner with an existing firm that produced conversion kits. “I didn’t really feel good about any of the company’s products on their own,” he said. Instead, he developed a unique kit using components of those products. Taylor Automotive specializes in hybrid and electric vehicles, and Re-InVolt Technologies is a division for the rebuild and repair of hybrid batteries.

Given the success of the Prius project, Taylor said he plans to set up a small, local production line of the plug-in conversion kits. The winning car is now in Chicago, he said, undergoing further tweaks. Taylor said the system will be “totally our own” when it is finished, and everything will be done locally. For Prius owners who want to match or beat Taylor’s 763 miles-per-gallon, his estimate for the parts and labor is $13,900. “So it’s rather expensive,” Taylor said. “By building our own components, we’re trying to get the price down.” He expects to start production on the Prius kit before the end of the year. In addition, the company is striving to be the first to market a conversion for a Ford Fusion, which could happen as soon as next year. “The Fusion really has a lot more potential for improving the gas mileage than Prius,” Taylor said, citing the Ford’s “more powerful” electric motor and greater amount of space. The auto industry is already evolving, Taylor noted, and is moving away from mechanical parts in favor of electronic components. For instance, the 2010 Prius has no belts, an electric air compressor and electric brakes. In the next five to ten years, the business owner expects cars that get 100 miles per gallon or better to be “very common.” The growing popularity of eco-friendly cars is evidenced by a second Green Drive Expo — this time on the West Coast. The next expo will be held in the San Francisco Bay area in October.

According to the terms of the agreement, Walden, Haltiwanger and Langley are off the board effective immediately, though Walden and Langley will serve on a new advisory board. Graham will replace Walden as president, Buchan and George will be reinstated through June 2011 and Gillis and McPeake will remain on the board until March 15, 2011. Four new members — Peter Brownback, Caroline Eddy, Rose Highland-Sharpe and Linda Tableman — were also appointed to the board. The plaintiffs initially requested that the court remove the board members who have overstayed their term limits, reinstate George

The Office of Charter Schools had already placed the board on Governance Probationary Status on July 16 after learning it violated open meetings laws and hasn’t been compliant with its own bylaws. The office also instructed the non-compliant board members to rotate off the board by October. According to the complaint, the plaintiffs were afraid the board’s non-compliance would result in the termination of the school’s charter.

Cameron expects the number of donations will increase in the fall, but she said that won’t help the shortage that the Red Cross is experiencing right now. “Our need is now,” Cameron said. “In the next couple of weeks, we have got to get caught up.”

STATE BRIEFS Gov. names Thigpen to appeals court

Police recover body from Fayetteville pond

RALEIGH (AP) — Judge Cressie Thigpen, the first African-American elected president of the North Carolina State Bar, has been appointed to fill a vacancy on the state Court of Appeals. Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office announced the appointment on Monday. Thigpen will serve the remaining four months on the term of Judge Jim Wynn, who now sits on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Wynn’s old term expires at the end of this year. Thigpen plans to file next week to run for a full eight-year term on the Court of Appeals that would begin in January. Thigpen, a graduate of North Carolina Central University, has been a special Superior Court judge since 2008. In 1999, he became the first black attorney elected to president of the state bar.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Police in North Carolina are working to retrieve a body from a pond in Fayetteville. Fayetteville Police were putting a boat in Mintz Pond on Monday afternoon to recover a body floating well off shore. The body was discovered Monday by a Public Works Commission worker who spotted it from the road. The pond is owned by the commission. A dive team also has been called in to help with the investigation. Police did not release any information about the person’s name or if they suspected foul play.

NAACP wants new probes into state crime lab RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina civil rights leaders are calling for new probes into the state’s crime laboratory following revelations of workers misrepresenting blood evidence in dozens of cases. Multiple media outlets reported that the state chapter of the NAACP, along with other groups, called Monday for reviews of the work done by the six other units in the State Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab. Pat McCoy, the brother of murder victim Kathy McCoy, says sloppy work and misconduct hurt families by calling into question the validity of verdicts. Along with new investigations, the NAACP wants an immediate moratorium on any new death penalty sentences. The group is also calling on Gov. Beverly Perdue to commute all current death sentences until those cases can be reviewed.

App company raises $15 million from investors

DURHAM (AP) — A North Carolina software business that makes apps for smart phones has raised more than $15 million to hire more staff and improve technology. PocketGear raised the money in part from an investment firms tied to Google and BlackBerry. Both companies are major developers of smart phones that use the apps. The Durham company was founded by Jud Bowman a decade ago when he was a teenager. It maintains mobile content such as games played on the phones for some of the leading wireless companies, including AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. The money will be used to expand the PocketGear’s sales force and improve technology.

State elections board ready to discuss governor’s campaign flights By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — With more than 40 flights disclosed late and a few still unaccounted for, Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue should learn Tuesday whether her campaign has done enough to satisfy the State Board of Elections as it reviews aviation expenses that were left off of campaign reports. Board members meeting in Asheville have in hand a review of private air travel by 17 gubernatorial candidates since 2004. The review has uncovered shortcomings in how several candidates reported flights, but the examination has focused largely on Perdue. The board initially investigated only former Gov. Mike Easley’s campaign. The review began in earnest in February, but the issue of whether candidates are reporting flights donated to them by political allies has been in the panel’s sights for more than a year. Before the broader exam began, the Perdue campaign already had amended expense reports going back much of the last decade to add flights it says were uncovered during a self-audit of its finances. The Bev Perdue Committee also then paid tens of thousands of dollars in campaign funds to people who flew them around. The board, comprised of three Democrats and two Republicans, must decide whether that’s enough. It could expand the

review to include a public investigatory hearing, issue civil fines against campaigns or take no further action. There have been partisan volleys since the original report was issued in June. Republicans say board chairman Larry Leake and director Gary Bartlett obstructed work by the board’s chief investigator, Kim Strach. Perdue’s campaign has cried foul because Strach’s husband was, until recently, the state GOP’s general counsel. Whatever the board decides, it almost certainly will lead to accusations of political bias. Any decision will make it easier “to doubt the validity, with all the stories that are surrounding the board right now,” North Carolina State University political science professor Andy Taylor said. “It sort of obfuscates the matters.” Bartlett attached a memo to Strach’s initial report in June saying there was no evidence the campaigns intentionally tried to break the law. Strach filed a supplemental report over the weekend with more information on Perdue’s flights. Republican Party leaders have said Perdue should be treated just like Easley, a Democrat whose campaign was fined $100,000 last October for failing to report dozens of flights he took. The board also referred the case to a local prosecutor to consider criminal charges. The Perdue campaign has said that unlike Easley, Perdue campaign leaders told board officials

in early 2008 about potential problems after they shifted to new campaign reporting software, agreed to perform a review in early 2009 and fixed problems voluntarily. No additional action is needed, said campaign spokesman Marc Farinella, calling the problems the result of an inadequate process for collecting, monitoring and reporting flight information. “If the board decides a fine is appropriate, that wouldn’t be an unreasonable resolution,” he said. He added, “there is no evidence anywhere that anything occurred other than sloppiness. It would seem hard to understand ... what the arguments for continuing this investigation would be at this point.” Board member Chuck Winfree, a Republican, said a public hearing, complete with subpoenas and witness testimony, may be needed if the campaign appeared indifferent to accurate flight reporting. That would be “something the state board needs to deal seriously with,” he said. Strach’s supplemental report said the Perdue campaign’s process for documenting and disclosing flights had reached “a sophisticated level” by mid-2007. Strach also said

campaign documents show there were three more campaign flights from 2004 to 2007 that have never been reported. Perdue campaign attorney John Wallace asked in April that Strach recuse herself from the investigation because her husband, Phil Strach, was GOP general counsel until recently. State Republican Party Chairman Tom Fetzer filed an initial complaint against Perdue last fall. “I believe that you need to recognize that you are not in a position to conduct an unbiased inquiry into issues raised by the Republican Party or on its behalf,” Wallace wrote Strach. Strach defended her work, pointing out she has investigated both Democrats and Republicans in her job. She said her husband’s position had nothing to do with it. “That in no way affected the way I made the review,” Strach said Monday. “I stand behind my work.” Fetzer said last week Phil Strach had no involvement in the GOP complaint. He’s called on Leake, a Democrat, to recuse himself from Tuesday’s discussion because Fetzer alleges Leake and Bartlett tried to limit the reach of Strach’s probe of Perdue’s campaign.

Passions rise at dueling mosque rallies

NEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds of impassioned demonstrators — all waving American flags, but separated into two groups by police — descended on the site of the proposed mosque near ground zero, with opponents chanting, “No mosque, no way!” and supporters shouting, “We say no to racist fear!” The two leaders of the construction project, meanwhile, defended their plans on Sunday, though one suggested that organizers might eventually be willing to discuss an alternative site. The other, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, said during a Middle East trip that the attention generated by the project is actually positive and that he hopes it will bring greater understanding. The rallies took place around the corner from the cordoned-off old building that is to become a 13-story Islamic community center and mosque. There were no reports of physical clashes but there were some nose-to-nose confrontations, including a man and a woman screaming at each other across a barricade under a steady rain. Opponents of the $100 million project two blocks from the World Trade Center site appeared to outnumber supporters. Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” blared over loudspeakers as mosque opponents chanted, “No mosque, no way!” Signs hoisted by dozens of protesters standing behind police

People participate in a rally against a proposed mosque and community center near ground zero in New York, Sunday. barricades read “SHARIA” — using dripping, blood-red letters to describe Islam’s Shariah law, which governs Muslims’ behavior. Steve Ayling, a 40-year-old Brooklyn plumber, said the people behind the mosque project are “the same people who took down the twin towers.” Opponents demand that the mosque be moved farther from the site where more than 2,700 people were killed on Sept. 11, 2001. “They should put it in the Middle East,” Ayling said. On a nearby sidewalk, police chased away a group that unfurled a banner with images of beating, stoning and other torture they said was committed by those who followed Islamic law.

A mannequin wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress, was mounted on one of two mock missiles that were part of an anti-mosque installation. One missile was inscribed with the words: “Again? Freedom Targeted by Religion”; the other with “Obama: With a middle name Hussein. We understand. Bloomberg: What is your excuse?” New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has fiercely defended plans for the proposed mosque, saying that the right “to practice your religion was one of the real reasons America was founded.” The mosque project is being led by Rauf and his wife, Daisy Khan, who insist the center will promote moderate Islam. The dispute has sparked

a national debate on religious freedom and American values and is becoming an issue on the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections. Republicans have been critical of President Barack Obama’s stance: He has said the Muslims have the right to build the center at the site but has not commented on whether he thinks they should. Rauf is in the middle of a Mideast trip funded by the U.S. State Department that is intended to promote religious tolerance. He told a gathering Sunday at the U.S. ambassador’s residence in the Persian Gulf state of Bahrain that he took heart from the dispute over the mosque, saying “the fact we are getting this kind of attention is a sign of success.” “It is my hope that people will understand

more,” Rauf said without elaborating. Democratic New York Gov. David Paterson has suggested that state land farther from ground zero be used for the center. Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, expressed some openness to that idea on ABC’s “This Week with Christiane Amanpour,” but said she would have to meet with the center’s other “stakeholders” first. “We want to build bridges,” Khan said. “We don’t want to create conflict, this is not where we were coming from.” But Khan also said the angry reaction to the project “is like a metastasized anti-Semitism.” At the pro-mosque rally, staged a block away from opponents’ demonstration, several hundred people chanted, “Muslims are welcome here! We say no to racist fear!” Dr. Ali Akram, a 39year-old Brooklyn physician, came with his three sons and an 11-yearold nephew waving an American flag. He noted that scores of Muslims were among those who died in the towers, and he called those who oppose the mosque “unAmerican.” “They teach their children about the freedom of religion in America — but they don’t practice what they preach,” Akram said. Rauf, in an interview with Bahrain’s Al Wasat newspaper, said America’s sweeping constitutional rights are more in line with Islamic principles than the limits imposed by some Muslim nations. “American Muslims have the right to practice their religion in accordance with the Constitution of the United States,” Rauf said. “I see the article of independence as more compliant with the principles of Islam than what is available in many of the current Muslim countries.”

Spill investigators focus more on communication HOUSTON (AP) — Federal investigators seeking the cause of the rig explosion that led to BP’s massive Gulf oil spill focused Monday on communication and chain of command, wondering at times whether the key players knew enough to handle an emergency. Neil Cramond, who oversees BP’s marine operations in the Gulf, acknowledged he rarely had contact with Paul Johnson, who managed the Deepwater Horizon rig for owner Transocean Ltd., which leased it to BP. The rig exploded April 20, killing 11 workers and spewing 206 million gallons of oil into the sea before a temporary cap stopped the flow in midJuly. Cramond also testified that captains of rigs like the Deepwater Horizon are ultimately responsible for crew safety and environmental matters, but are not always involved in decisions about how to deal with drilling operations and potential risks. Members of the joint U.S. Coast Guard-Bureau of Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement investigative panel are trying to figure out what caused the explosion and how regulation, safety and oversight can be improved to prevent another such catastrophe.

Ammonia leak at Alabama plant sickens at least 120

THEODORE, Ala. (AP) — An ammonia leak at a coastal Alabama chicken distribution plant sent more than 120 people to the hospital on Monday, including four patients in intensive care, and forced residents to hide in their homes while warning sirens blared. At least 29 people were admitted to Mobile-area hospitals, including the four in intensive care. Injuries to most of those admitted were not believed to be life-threatening, and others were treated and released, mostly for breathing difficulties. “It was scary not knowing what the chemical was,” said Teri Anderson, who lives near the plant and was first alerted by one of the sirens. She was told by emergency officials to seal her windows and doors, and shut off her air conditioner.

‘Avatar’ returns to theaters in 3-D By SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Before he takes moviegoers deep beneath the Pandoran sea, James Cameron hopes they’ll go for an extended tour of the fictional planet he introduced in “Avatar.” “Avatar: Special Edition,” which includes nine minutes of new footage, opens in 3-D theaters worldwide Friday. “I’m trying to use the technology to keep people interested and enthused about the ‘Avatar’ universe, because it’s going to be a long time before we get another ‘Avatar’ movie done,” the filmmaker said in a recent interview. Cameron, 56, already has plans for the “Avatar” sequels. He’s also got a submarine to build, cameras for the Mars rover to design, an underwater 3-D camera to upgrade and maybe even an ocean-related feature to make. But first, he had to select and perfect new “Avatar” footage and persuade distributor 20th Century Fox to rerelease the film theatrically in 3-D. Cameron said there are “hundreds of thousands, if not millions” of people who wanted to see the movie in 3-D but didn’t get the chance because

“Avatar,” which brought in the world’s biggest box office numbers, collecting $2.7 billion, returns to theaters in 3D this Friday. “Avatar” sequels are already in the works. “Avatar” was edged out of 3-D theaters by other scheduled 3-D releases. Since then, the number of available 3-D screens has doubled internationally, he said. Fox executives said in a statement that they have been “inundated with requests to rerelease the film in theaters in 3-D” since it wrapped its original run in March. “Avatar” boasts the biggest box-office take in history, collecting $2.7 billion worldwide. Bringing the movie back to the big screen is an experiment inspired by initial fan response to the movie, Cameron said. “It was the most pirated film in history at the same time it was the most attended film in movie

theaters,” he said, adding that some who saw the movie on DVD or on their computer screens may want to enjoy it in all its big-screen, 3-D glory. The new footage is sprinkled throughout the movie. One bit focuses on the death of one of the planet’s native humanoids, the tailed, blue Na’vi. His death is hinted at in the original film, but in the extended version, “We actually see him die,” Cameron said. “Not like he splats to the ground, but how they gather around him afterwards,” he said. “It’s this big emotional scene and it’s actually the best CG we did in the whole movie.” Another scene follows a hunt for one of Pandora’s bizarre creatures in a

“rousing action-adventure, pulse-pounding kind of scene,” he said. The extended version will appear on a specialedition DVD to be released in November. It will also include a more expanded, “alternate reality version” of the film that is 16 minutes longer than the original, Cameron said. He has already begun technical development on an “Avatar” sequel that will focus on the planet’s ocean environment. “I love diving,” he said, “and if I’m making this movie, I’m not going to be diving as much as I’d like, so I’m going to give myself a kind of methadone fix by doing fantasy ocean.” He will also get a dose of underwater fun in the submarine he’s building in Australia. Cameron plans to explore the Pacific’s Mariana Trench in a two-seater sub that can go 36,000 feet below the surface. He’s working on upgrading his 3-D underwater camera and is helping build a space-age 3-D camera for the new Mars rover, Curiosity. “You’ll be able to see Mars going by, in 3-D,” he said. He’s also working on a 3-D conversion of “Titanic,” which he hopes to release in April 2012, the 100-year anniversary of its sailing and sinking.

Aniston to guest on ‘Cougar Town’ NEW YORK (AP) — Jennifer Aniston will pay a visit to old “friend” Courteney Cox on the season debut of ABC’s “Cougar Town” next month. ABC said Monday that Aniston will portray a therapist who is being seen by Cox’s character. It’s a one-episode visit, scheduled for Sept. 22. The two actresses starred for many years on NBC’s “Friends.” Cox is in her second season of “Cougar Town,” where she plays a character hungry for younger men. Aniston is promoting her new movie, “The Switch.”

Chesney tackles football with ‘Boys of Fall’ NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Everything Kenny Chesney needed to know about dominating country music he learned from football. Whether he’s firing up the tour bus or heading into the studio, he uses the principles he learned while playing at Gibbs High School outside Knoxville. This epiphany came to Chesney while he was recording for his latest album, “Hemingway’s Whiskey,” and eventually grew into the documentary film “Boys of Fall,” which airs on ESPN this Sunday. “It’s no different if you’re playing football, if you’re on the road like I am, if you’re running a company,” Chesney said. “Everybody’s got to work together if they want to achieve something that’s special.” Chesney’s documentary started out as a simple video shoot for the single, “The Boys of Fall.” He followed friend and New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton to the coach’s hometown in Napierville, Ill., where Payton gave the season-opening pregame speech last year to his old high school team.

CHILE MINE COLLAPSE

EGG RECALL

Miners alive; now, the wait

Egg farms share suppliers, other ties

COPIAPO, Chile (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Trapped nearly half a mile inside the earth and facing perhaps four months before rescue, 33 Chilean miners began accepting food, water and oxygen from above ground Monday as rescue teams worked to gauge their state of mind and brace them for the long wait ahead. Through a newly installed communications system, each of the men spoke and reported feeling hungry but well, except for one with a stomach problem, a Chilean official said. They requested toothbrushes. It was a positive sign, and Chileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president said the nation was â&#x20AC;&#x153;crying with excitement and joyâ&#x20AC;? after engineers broke through Sunday to the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refuge. It had been 17 days since a landslide at the gold and copper mine caused a tunnel to collapse and entombed them more than 2,200 feet below ground. Still, doctors and psychological experts were trying to safeguard the very sanity of the miners in the months to come, and said they were implementing a plan that included keeping them informed and busy. The miners reported that a shift foreman named Luis Urzua had assumed leadership of the trapped

Health Minister Jaime Manalich explained. Engineers worked to reinforce the 6-inch-wide bore hole that broke through to the refuge, using a long hose to coat its walls with a metallic gel to decrease the risk of rock falling and blocking the hard-won passage through the unstable mine. The lubricant makes it easier to pass supplies through in capsules nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;palomas,â&#x20AC;? Spanish for dove.

from the surface, held rehydration tablets and a high-energy glucose gel to help the miners begin to recover their digestive systems. Rescue teams also sent oxygen down after the miners suggested there was not enough air in the stretches of the mine that run below where the main shaft collapsed. The shelter, a livingroom-sized chamber off one of the mineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lower passages that is easily big enough for all 33 men, is far enough from the landslide to remain intact, and the men can also walk around below where the rocks fell. Actual food will be sent down in several days, after the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stomachs have had time to adjust, said Paola

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two Iowa farms that recalled more than a half-billion eggs linked to as many as 1,300 cases of salmonella poisoning share suppliers of chickens and feed as well as ties to an Iowa business routinely cited for violating state and federal law, an egg industry spokeswoman said. Food and Drug Administration investigators have yet to determine the cause of the salmonella outbreaks at Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms. The FDA investigation could take months, and sources of contamination are often difficult to find. The number of illnesses, which can be life-threatening, especially to those with weakened immune systems, is expected to increase. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever eight to 72 hours of eating a contaminated product. Jewanna Porter, a spokeswoman for the egg industry, said Saturday the company Quality Egg supplies young chickens and feed to both Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms. The two share other suppliers, she said, but she did not name them. The egg industry has consolidated over recent

years, placing fewer, larger businesses in control over much of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s egg supply to consumers. The salmonella outbreak has raised questions about federal inspections of egg farms. The FDA oversees inspections of shell eggs, while the Agriculture Department is in charge of inspecting other egg products. William D. Marler, a Seattle attorney for a person who filed suit alleging illness from tainted eggs in a salad at a restaurant in Kenosha, Wis., said Sunday his firm has been retained by two dozen families and was representing a woman who was hospitalized in California. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The history of ignoring the law makes the sickening of 1,300 and the forced recall of 550 million eggs shockingly understandable,â&#x20AC;? Marler said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to wonder where the USDA and FDA inspectors were.â&#x20AC;? Businessman Austin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jackâ&#x20AC;? DeCoster owns Wright County Egg and Quality Egg. Wright County Egg recalled 380 million eggs Aug. 13 after it was linked to more than 1,000 cases of salmonella poisoning. A week later, Hillandale Farms recalled 170 million eggs.

Neuman of the medical rescue service. Rescuers also sent down questionnaires to determine each manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition, along with medicine and small microphones to enable them to speak with their families during their long wait. Rescue leader Andre Sougarret said they were organizing the families into small groups to make their talks as orderly as possible. Meanwhile, an enormous machine with diamond-tipped drills capable of carving a 26inch-wide tunnel through solid rock and boring at about 65 feet a day was on its way from central Chile to the San Jose gold and copper mine, outside Copiapo in north-central Chile. The machine was donated by the state-owned Codelco copper company and carried on a truck festooned with Chilean flags. Just setting it up will take at least three more days. Engineers were also boring two more narrow shafts to the trapped men, but stopped Monday just above their refuge while they made sure that the lifeline was fully secure. Only when these three shafts are complete will they begin carving out the tunnel large enough to fit a man, Mining Minister Laurence Golborne said.

TIGER WOODS, WIFE OFFICIALLY DIVORCED

Tiger Woods and his Swedish-born wife officially divorced Monday, nine months after his middle-of-the night car crash outside their home set off shocking revelations that the world’s most famous athlete had been cheating on her through multiple affairs. “We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future,” Woods and Elin Nordegren said in a joint statement released by their lawyers. The divorce was granted in Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Fla., about 375 miles away from their Isleworth home outside Orlando. The couple had married in October 2004 in Barbados and have a 3-year-old daughter, Sam, and a 19-month-old son, Charlie. The marriage was described in court documents as “irretrievably broken” with no point in trying to reconcile. Terms of the divorce were not disclosed, except that they will “share parenting” of their two children. The divorce was finalized by Bay County Circuit Judge Judy Pittman Biebel during a brief hearing in a conference room in her chambers, according to Biebel’s judicial assistant Kim Gibson. The hearing lasted no more than 10 minutes. Woods and Nordegren were present, along with their lawyers, Gibson said. “I don’t comment on active cases,” Thomas J. Sasser, Woods’ divorce attorney, said. When asked why they chose to file in Panama City, Sasser said it was a joint decision by the lawyers. Nordegren’s attorneys -- which included her twin sister, London-based Josefin Lonnborg -- referred all questions to the statement.

SANFORD — Tennis is making a comeback in Lee County. Both girls squads at Lee County and Southern Lee experienced huge turnouts by their coaches’ standards this year, and both brought 16 player to the teams’ opening match against each other Monday. Experience won out in the end, as Lee County’s cast of veterans led by sophomore Elizabeth Gay toppled crosstown rivals Southern 9-0 to open the season.

CAMELS FOOTBALL BASEBALL SAMMY SOSA SAYS CUBS DON’T CARE ABOUT HIM

CHICAGO (AP) — Retired slugger Sammy Sosa is upset with the Chicago Cubs for not retiring his No. 21 jersey, telling a magazine that the organization doesn’t care about him. Sosa hit 545 homers over 13 seasons with the Cubs while becoming one of baseball’s biggest stars. But he was traded to the Baltimore Orioles in 2005 after a sour end to his time in Chicago. Sosa tells Chicago Magazine for a story in its September issue that his “number should be untouchable because of the things that I did for that organization.” Rookie outfielder Tyler Colvin is wearing No. 21 for the Cubs this season. Sosa finished with 609 homers in 18 years in the majors.

Campbell looks to turn corner on the gridiron By DAN WIEDERER The Fayetteville Observer

BUIES CREEK (MCT) — If Campbell football coach Dale Steele needs a motto for future generations of Camels to subscribe to during the summer, he might want to consult offensive lineman Troy Horan, who offers a concise explanation for why he spent much of the past four months on campus dedicated to strength training and conditioning. “Winning,” Horan says, “is more important than a vacation.” That isn’t a philosophy the former Pine Forest High School standout necessarily believed in 2009 when he took things somewhat easy over the summer and returned for camp in August carrying about 20 pounds too many. Horan saw the struggle it took simply to maintain focus throughout entire practices. His legs would become Jell-O far quicker than he wanted. He was humbled. But now, Horan has no such worries, in the best shape of his football career and eager to play a major role in what everyone at Campbell figures will be a breakthrough season.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — Kyle Busch was booed unmercifully by the crowd at every turn, and called a name over the public address system by Brad Keselowski. Rival drivers were only half-joking when they said they’d avoid him on the race track, for fear of getting caught up in his mess. In the end, it was Busch who had the last laugh, from Victory Lane at Bristol Motor Speedway, where he made an unprecedented

DURHAM (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Several hundred fans attended Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meet the Devils Fan Day football practice at Wallace Wade Stadium on Saturday. When the 90-minute workout was done, cheers rained down on the players and coaches, who acknowledged the applause by waving and tipping their caps. In just two weeks, thousands more will be in the stands, the preseason work will be done and the season will be underway against Elon. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fan Day activities were a gentle reminder of how close the season is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evidence that the season is coming up,â&#x20AC;? Duke senior center Bryan Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we expect. The cheering, we thrive off of that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun for people to watch you.â&#x20AC;?

know the season-opener against Elon, ranked No. 7 in the lower-level Football Championship Subdivision, is the start of a most challenging slate. When the Associated Press released its preseason top 25 poll Saturday, five of Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponents this season were included. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come at a better time for us,â&#x20AC;? Duke coach David Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our third year at Duke. We really get to measure ourselves.â&#x20AC;? The Devils play No. 1 Alabama (Sept. 18), No. 13 Miami (Oct. 16) and No. 18 North Carolina (Nov. 27) at home while traveling to No. 10 Virginia Tech (Oct. 23) and No. 16 Georgia Tech (Nov. 20). In addition, Duke foes Navy (Oct. 30) and Boston College (Nov. 13) were among teams that received votes but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crack the top 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked at that very closely and sometimes preseason rankings are just hollow,â&#x20AC;?

So what better way to measure your program?â&#x20AC;? For a Duke program that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t posted a winning record or played in a bowl game since 1994, it may seem to some like too much, too soon.

Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only chance weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get the kind of program we want is to play really good football teams. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to teach that, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get our guys to embrace.

Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got Elon. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to take care of Elon. Then its Wake Forest. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our focus.

NFL PRESEASON

Damon claimed by Young Panthers defense playing well Red Sox, deciding whether to go back By MIKE CRANSTON

NOTES FROM CAMP

AP Sports Writer

DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all up to Johnny Damon now: Play out the season in Detroit, or rejoin the Boston Red Sox for another playoff chase. The Red Sox have claimed the 36-year-old outfielder on waivers from the Tigers, and Damon was deciding Monday whether to go. Once a fan favorite at Fenway Park, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been booed there ever since he defected to the rival Yankees. Damon had a little time to make up his mind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; teams have 48 hours to work out a deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot to think about,â&#x20AC;? he said before Detroit played Kansas City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On top of everything else, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be ready to hit a baseball tonight.â&#x20AC;? Damon has hit .270 with seven home runs and 40 RBIs during his first season in Detroit. His contract includes a clause that gives him veto power over trades to all but eight teams. Because the Red Sox arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of those clubs, he can block any move. Damon was a hero in Boston in 2004 when he helped the Red Sox win their first World Series championship. But he was no longer so popular two years later when he became a free agent and went to New York. Boston began the day 6Â˝ games behind the Yankees in the AL East and 5Â˝ games behind Tampa Bay for the wildcard lead. Detroit was 11 games behind Minnesota in the AL Central and far from wild-card consideration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a great time playing there, and I did everything I could to go back,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told the team what it would take, in terms of dollars and years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it got ugly when it became apparent that re-signing me wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a priority.â&#x20AC;? Damon said that the broken relationship with the Boston fans has â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutelyâ&#x20AC;? left a scar on his psyche, and he knows accepting a move back to the Red Sox could fix that, especially if he could help them make a late playoff run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I do this, and we pulled everything together and I could help them get into the postseason, it would change everything again,â&#x20AC;? he said. Damonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old teammates in Boston seemed eager to have him back. Red Sox slugger David Ortiz asked whether Damon got to choose his team. Told yes, Ortiz brightened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really. Let me call him right now,â&#x20AC;? he kidded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

Strasburg likely going on DL with forearm strain WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rookie ace Stephen Strasburg of the Washington Nationals is probably headed back to the disabled list. Strasburg strained a tendon in his right forearm over the weekend, and Nationals manager Jim Riggleman said Monday the team would â&#x20AC;&#x153;proceed with cautionâ&#x20AC;? with the prized pitcher. Riggleman said Strasburg would definitely miss his next scheduled start Thursday and likely be put on the DL. The 22-year-old Strasburg was sidelined in late July because of inflammation in the back of his right shoulder. He was making his third start since returning from the DL when he was hurt Saturday night in Philadelphia.

can say one thing and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be back. I guarantee you just one thing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be great. You know Johnny Damonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been a great person to be around,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to wait to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen.â&#x20AC;? Normally fairly stoic, Red Sox captain Jason Varitek smiled when talking about Damon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnny knows how I fell about him today and always have. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishful thinking right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pushing Hall of Fame type numbers and you add what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done in the clubhouse and on the field. I never wanted to see him leave here. It would be a nice opportunity,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bedsides being a great player, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an example with how he plays hurt and he plays the game right. He pushes energy. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting player.â&#x20AC;?

CHARLOTTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Carolina Panthers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move the ball and it seems nobody can cleanly field a punt. Thank goodness for the defense. No, really. The unit that lost five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Julius Peppers in free agency, saw both starting defensive tackles released, the strongside linebacker cut, the strong safety traded and the weakside linebacker blow out his knee has been the lone bright spot in two preseason games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has gone out there and played well and done their jobs,â&#x20AC;? linebacker Jon Beason said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just playing fast and guys arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making mistakes.â&#x20AC;? Despite being handicapped by two interceptions, two fumbled punts and another special teams turnover that had the New York Jets starting four drives in Carolina territory Saturday night, the defense allowed only three field goals and 112 yards in the Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 9-3 win. The Panthers gave up just 225 yards and had six sacks in a 17-12 loss to Baltimore a week earlier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how good you are until you put yourself against an opponent in a game,â&#x20AC;? said defensive end Everette Brown, who had two of Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five sacks against New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know we have to prove ourselves. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be one of those things where teams lay down just because we show up.â&#x20AC;? While the defense added team speed, it lost experience and added guys only die-hard fans would know. When asked if he was surprised at

Beason is adjusting to a new position, too. He was shifted to weakside linebacker from the middle after Thomas Davis tore a knee ligament in a June workout. Beason, who said he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed an assignment there in two games, had two tackles against the Jets. The inexperienced Dan Connor, who replaced Beason in the middle, had a team-high six tackles, including one for a loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing great,â&#x20AC;? Beason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there having fun and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flying around making plays. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making calls. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speaking more than he ever has, so I feel real comfortable about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on right now.â&#x20AC;? The biggest surprise is the defensive line. When Peppers and his franchise-record 81 career sacks left for Chicago, the Panthers entered training camp with a roster of 13

defensive linemen with a combined 36Â˝ career sacks. But that youthful, speedy group has produced 11 sacks in two exhibition games. Tyler Brayton, the only returning starter, had two sacks against the Ravens before sitting out the Jets game with a sprained left ankle. Brown, who started in Braytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place Saturday, rookie Greg Hardy, Nick Hayden and Eric Moore all have two sacks. The depth left Beason wondering aloud Monday â&#x20AC;&#x153;whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be here?â&#x20AC;? after final cuts. There are still a number of defensive tackles rotating in with the first team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scary, man. Good teams, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deep at the D-line position,â&#x20AC;? Beason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys rotate, just like running backs and receivers. Get a hot dog, chips and stuff. But I think if we can have a rotation where guys can stay fresh itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to show. And I think it has so far.â&#x20AC;? The secondary, with veteran cornerbacks Chris Gamble and Richard Marshall returning, is the most stable spot. Sherrod Martin replaced the traded Chris Harris, but rookie Jordan Pugh played

n WR Steve Smith practiced in full pads Monday for the first time in his recovery from a broken left hand. It remains uncertain if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play in a preseason game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a prediction based on the first day,â&#x20AC;? Smith said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gassed today so I just have to try to get out and hopefully feel better tomorrow.â&#x20AC;? n QB Jimmy Clausen sat out with a sore toe. LT Jordan Gross (ankle) also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. n Former NC State coach and Florida State assistant Chuck Amato attended practice, looking thinner but healthy following cancer treatments.

well Saturday when Martin was sidelined with a groin injury. Four Jets quarterbacks combined for 46 yards passing. And while neither the Ravens or Jets did much game-planning, the performances provided a needed confidence boost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of new people there and I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen some success,â&#x20AC;? coach John Fox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, we can continue that and stay healthy.â&#x20AC;? Injuries were a concern Monday. Brayton, Martin, Marshall (knee), cornerback Captain Munnerlyn (calf) and safety C.J. Wilson (hip), who had a 31-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Baltimore, sat out practice. But none are believed to be serious injuries. So while the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense is still seeking its first touchdown of the preseason and special teams gaffes keeping the coaches busy, the mostly anonymous young guys on defense are carrying the team.

ELI MANNING TO PLAY AGAINST RAVENS

BASEBALL

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is back and ready to go. Manning returned to practice Monday and left no doubt that he intends to play Saturday’s next-to-last preseason game against the Ravens in Baltimore. “I’m feeling great,” Manning said. “Ready, excited about getting out to practice today and getting back into the action.” Manning was held out of the Giants’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday because the team was concerned that a gash on the left side of his forehead would reopen if he was hit or that it would be irritated or infected by wearing his helmet. The 12 stitches that were needed to close the wound were removed Friday, four days after the quarterback was cut in a game against the Jets.

JUDGE IN CLEMENS CASE ISSUES GAG ORDER WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge assigned to Roger Clemens’ perjury case issued a gag order Monday prohibiting public comments by the principles in the case that could affect the jury pool for a possible trial. Clemens was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday for allegedly lying to Congress. The six-count indictment accuses the seven-time Cy Young Award winner of obstructing a congressional inquiry with 15 different statements made under oath, including denials that he had ever used steroids or human growth hormone. Clemens has denied any wrongdoing. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said in the gag order that interested participants will refrain from making public comments that could have a material effect on the case. “Further action in violation of this admonition will be confronted of the full authority of the Court,” Walton wrote in the order that covers “the parties, any potential witnesses, and counsel for those parties and witnesses.”

SHANAHAN MEETS WITH HAYNESWORTH ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan met with Albert Haynesworth on Monday and kept the conversation to himself, saying it’s “completely ridiculous” to keep talking about it publicly. “If you guys want to talk about football, we’ll talk about football,” Shanahan said. “But to keep on talking about things outside of football to me is completely ridiculous. I did have a conversation with him. If you want to talk about football, we’ll talk about football.” So Shanahan gave no response to the strong words uttered by the disgruntled nose tackle following Saturday’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Haynesworth accused the coach of mischaracterizing the reason he missed practice last week and said he will stay away from the Redskins’ offseason workout program again next year. Reports say Haynesworth was suffering from a muscle condition called rhabdomyolysis, but Shanahan told AOL Fanhouse on Sunday that he was “not aware of that.” Shanahan had given various reasons for Haynesworth’s inability to practice, eventually attributing it to a headache.

Camels Continued from Page 1B

“Last summer, as a team we didn’t have the same urgency we do this time around,” Horan says. “The excitement level is definitely up. And the desire to work hard has been contagious.” Despite two seasons filled with losing — 18 defeats in 22 games — the optimism in Buies Creek has been widespread with players dreaming big, then putting in extra work to make their visions a reality. If losing, as Doc Dizzy suggests in the 1984 classic “The Natural”, is a disease as contagious as polio or bubonic plague, then the players in Campbell’s locker room have seemingly discovered a tonic to fight the discouragement. Heightened effort throughout the offseason has been one part of the equation. Equally important has been Steele’s insistence that his players keep tabs on the program’s progress as much as they track its success. The Camels talk often about climbing the mountain. And while they are still a long way from the peak -- their biggest goal being a Pioneer League championship -- the Camels also realize they’ve ascended a long way since the program’s rebirth in 2006. “We live in a society today that is so instant gratification,” Steele said. “You get in the drivethru at McDonald’s and it’s, ‘Give me my food now.’ But with a football program, that just doesn’t happen. Changing or creating a culture in a program is a process. And I think we finally con-

vinced our kids that the process is important. We need to take certain steps. And if you miss steps, you’re never going to be what you set out to be.” After a 1-10 struggle in 2008, Campbell tripled its win total last fall. No team celebrates a 3-8 season. But in context, the Camels’ 3-8 run proved encouraging. Of all the lessons learned, Steele believes his players began understanding the investment required at the Division I level. “Our kids found out how much of a grind college football was,” he says. “It takes a different commitment. College football can be fun. And it should be. But it’s a grind between Saturdays when you play. Our kids realized that and started to figure out how you walk through that.” The Camels also figured out how to stay competitive late into games. And perhaps, more important than anything else, with defeats of Methodist, Morehead State and Valparaiso, they sampled the taste of winning. That, Horan acknowledges, is what drove him and so many teammates to root down in Buies Creek for the summer. “We all want that feeling again,” the Fayetteville native said. Added Steele: “When I was a little boy, my daddy told me I could buy a bicycle. But he started by taking me to the bank and opening up an account. And I put $1 in here, $2 in there. Then that day when I could finally go in and pull out that money to get that bicycle, there was a feeling of euphoria. It was something you worked for. This is the same way.”

three visits in four days. “Love him or hate him, but the little turd did pretty good,” Clint Bowyer said after Saturday night’s Sprint Cup race at Bristol. “Three in a row here is quite a feat.” A NASCAR record feat. Busch became the first driver in the 15 years that NASCAR has been running three national series to win all of them in the same week. He began his run with a win in the Trucks race on Wednesday night, had a controversial victory in the Nationwide race Friday night, then completed the sweep with a drama-free win in Saturday night’s premiere Cup Series. But for all the celebrating of the record-breaking moment — someone from his crew radioed the Joe Gibbs Racing team was “in the presence of greatness” as he crossed the finish line in the last race — his escalating feud with Keselowski managed to steal some of the spotlight. The two tangled in the Nationwide race when, after racing hard for the lead for at least a dozen laps, Keselowski wouldn’t lift when Busch slid in

It’s great to see.” Newsom added that both teams may see even more girls join up as school starts and more freshman become interested in playing. “I was shocked that we had that many,” said Newsom, who also coaches the Cavaliers’ boys team. “Tennis is really growing here, and I look forward to being a part of that.”

who have played competitive tennis, according to Southern Lee coach Rob Newsom, who took Monday’s opener as a learning experience. “We’re so young, and I saw some things we need to improve on,” Newsom said. “But I also saw a lot of good things out of our team.” Tatum was quick to point out the sports’ newfound popularity at both schools after the game, and said that can only make both programs stronger in the future. “Tennis is becoming very popular in Lee County,” Tatum said. “We had 16 girls come out for the first time since I’ve been coach, and they had

front of his car. They made contact, and Busch scraped the wall and slid down the track to lose position. He immediately drove to the back of Keselowski’s bumper and intentionally wrecked him. Keselowski vowed revenge after the race, and an unrepentant Busch fanned the flames with harsh words for his nemesis and taunting actions toward a disapproving crowd. Keselowski turned it up a notch during driver introductions before Saturday night’s race. Walking into the track moments after Busch was announced, Keselowski took the microphone and to a thunderous applause introduced himself before insulting Busch. It heightened the anticipation for another altercation, but it never happened. Busch’s No. 18 Toyota was so strong the only time the two really raced near each other was late in the race when Busch lapped Keselowski. As expected, Keselowski made it extremely difficult for Busch to pass him, but Busch completed the move cleanly and sailed away to his third win this season and third in his last four Cup races at Bristol. Asked after what he

thought of Keselowski playing to the crowd, Busch replied: “Who? I don’t know who you’re talking about.” Told the driver of the No. 12 car, Busch still didn’t bite. “I saw it, but I passed it,” he stated in a matter of fact tone. And everything else in Bristol. Busch led 514 of 956 laps run at the track since it opened on Wednesday to the Trucks. It gave him the accomplishment he’d been seeking since 2005, when he first started competing in all three national series at the same time. In 2008, he made an ill-fated attempt at the record by traveling in between Pocono, Texas and Nashville over three days, and he stopped putting such a public focus on the feat. Still, he almost pulled it off four previous times by winning the first two legs, most recently in May at Charlotte Motor Speedway. After winning Trucks and Nationwide, Busch fell just short of the sweep by finishing third in Cup. He also could have pulled it off here last year, when he opened Bristol by winning in his truck. But he was wrecked in a fluke accident while leading the Nationwide race, only

to bounce back the next night to get the Cup win. So, on his return this week, he openly discussed his pursuit of the record. Upon completion, he said it was bigger than his 2009 victory at home track Las Vegas, which had previously been the high point of his NASCAR career. “It’s pretty cool because when you come so close and then don’t get it, it’s pretty frustrating,” he said. “This is probably a year delayed. It’s cool to be able to put it all together in a complete weekend.” The win moved Busch up five spots in the standings to third, enough to get him away from the bubble of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. The top 12 drivers in the standings two races from now move on to compete for the title, and Busch currently would go into the Chase seeded fourth. He’s not thinking championship just yet. After all, he won Bristol last August and still missed making the Chase. “This win will be over, and we go back to work getting our stuff prepared for Atlanta,” he said. “Yeah, it’s a confidence booster. We still know how to win, we know how to do this.”

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Daughter wants to spend time, not money, with gambling mom

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Don’t be fooled by what others tell you, especially when it comes to work, money and getting ahead. Rely on things you have learned in the past. A change in the way you live and the responsibilities you must take care of can be expected. Facing every day with optimism and an open mind will help you conquer what others cannot. Your numbers are 1, 10, 16, 26, 33, 41, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You aren’t being told everything you need to know. Find out exactly what’s expected of you or you will waste time doing things that aren’t necessary. A romantic relationship can go either way. 3 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make contact with people you have something in common with. You will accomplish a lot more if you work within a group. Travel if it will help you take care of something that’s important to you. 4 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Set your sights on progress and accomplishment and you will reach your goals. Emotional issues can be dealt with if you are honest about the way you feel. Children and seniors are likely to play an important decisionmaking role. 5 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep it simple, especially when dealing with friends and family. The less said, the better. Don’t count on getting along with everybody you encounter. It will be best to keep an open mind but a practical outlook. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let money matters or contracts confuse you. Nothing is too difficult to figure out if you apply your experience and knowledge. Stop running from someone only interested in making your life better. An Aries or Libra will make a difference to your personal life. 3 stars

WORD JUMBLE

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Look for any help you can get that will allow you to be more creative and productive in a job that needs your attention. Paying more attention to detail will pay off and allow you more time to spend at home or with someone you love. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t limit what you can do because someone is trying to put restrictions on you. Rise above the criticism or demands and follow your intuition. Love should be high on your todo list. 5 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Find out all you need to know about someone you must deal with to get ahead. Changes at home will turn out well if you are honest about what you want and what you are willing to give. Expect to hear news about an old friend. 5 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Problems will surface at home if you aren’t careful what you say to friends, relatives or neighbors. Expect to face some backlash regarding a story you share about a friend or past associate. It’s best to say little and do a lot for best results. 2 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Rely on your past experience to help you make the right choices now. If you act impulsively, you will make a costly personal mistake that will deplete your bank account as well. Stick to what and who you know. 4 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ve got lots to think about, especially with regard to where you live and how you cover your expenses. Help will be offered from a reliable source but, before you accept, find out what’s expected in return. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Emotional matters will escalate if you don’t take care of them immediately. Partnerships will be plentiful but choosing the right one will not be easy. Complete whatever needs to be done. 3 stars

DEAR ABBY: My widowed father-in-law is 77 and my mom is 71. I try to spend time with them so they won’t be lonely. The problem is they now have only one interest -- gambling. They are only happy if someone will take them to a casino. A simple dinner or movie is no longer wanted. I don’t mind going once in a while. The closest casino is 90 miles away. But it ends up being an all-day affair, with me gambling money I would prefer not to let go of that way. I have brought books and spent time reading in the car or in restaurants, but that’s not quality time, either. They think that because my husband is successful, I should have no problem with money. Abby, I am careful how I spend money. You can’t be in a casino for four hours and not lose a lot of money. Now they’re mad at me because I don’t want to take them anymore. Mom even wanted to stretch out the trip to an overnighter. Help! — BETTING I’M RIGHT IN OHIO DEAR BETTING: You are a caring wife and daughter. But it appears your mother and father-in-law are less interested in spending time with you than in spending time in the casino. If they can afford it, that should be their privilege, but you are all adults -- and if your concept of a social get-together involves more than sitting in front of a slot machine or repeating, “Deal me

a wealth of shared history. And that can be the basis of a strong relationship. ❏❏❏

in!” then you’re right to refuse to be used as transportation. Many seniors visit casinos in groups, using buses to get there and back, and so can your relatives. Don’t feel guilty about it. ❏❏❏ DEAR ABBY: My darling wife passed away after 38 years of marriage. After she died, her sister and I began talking on the phone as a way to get me through a very difficult time. A year later, I finally asked her to dinner. We have discovered we have feelings for each other. Do you think there is anything wrong with this, and are we wrong for spending time together? — CONSOLED IN ALABAMA DEAR CONSOLED: Not only is there nothing wrong with it, there is a lot right with it. After being in-laws for nearly four decades, you have

DEAR ABBY: On April 6, you printed my letter about having been sent a photocopy of a high school graduation announcement. No picture was included, nor a card -- just the photocopy folded into a cheap envelope. (The “real” ones had been sent to more “important” people!) You called me to discuss my letter, and your call made my day. My mom happened to call me right after I got off the phone, and when I told her my letter was being printed in your column, she informed me that she had actually received a photocopy of a thank-you card that day, from the same person I was talking about in my letter. These people continue to floor me. Anyway, I hope this is the last “photocopy” story you’ll be getting about them. But who knows? There could still be photocopies of wedding invitations and birth announcements in the future. — EVEN MORE FLABBERGASTED IN THE SOUTH DEAR EVEN MORE FLABBERGASTED: Indeed there could. Obviously the folks you described in your letter aren’t Dear Abby readers. It’s lucky you have a sense of humor. With friends like those you need one.

ODDS AND ENDS Oregon boy takes family pickup on 100-mile joyride DAMASCUS, Ore. (AP) — A 12year-old Oregon boy had permission to drive the family pickup truck to the end of the driveway to unload trash, but he kept going until he was stopped nearly 100 miles away in Lewis County, Wash. The Clackamas County sheriff’s office says it received a call from the boy’s mother reporting the boy and the pickup missing from their home in Damascus, Ore., near Portland. An alert went out, and the eager young driver was safely stopped by a Lewis County sheriff’s deputy. Detective Jim Strovink says the case will be referred to juvenile authorities for possible prosecution of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and driving without a license. Strovink says the mother didn’t do anything wrong in letting the boy drive in the driveway because that’s private property.

Bill would give OK to ‘Ne-VAH-da’ pronunciation CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — The misuse of one little vowel frustrates a lot of Nevadans who get irritated by the mispronunciation of the state’s name — using an “ah” instead of “a.” Outgoing Assemblyman Harry Mortenson is proposing more tolerance. The Las Vegas Democrat is

SUDOKU

MY ANSWER working on a resolution for the 2011 legislative session to make the “NeVAH-da” pronunciation equally acceptable to the one with the short “a.” Mortenson says he’s not asking Nevadans to change. He just wants the Spanish pronunciation recognized. Nevadans have long bristled over the issue. In 1944, Reno newspapers even scolded former heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey for his “East Coast” pronunciation during an appearance.

Pig wrestling canceled after porkers elude capture GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — A pig wrestling competition at a county fair in northern Montana has been canceled after the porkers eluded fair officials trying to round them up for the event. Fair office manager Shirley Embleton says the wild pigs spend the year on a 10-mile free-range property along the Marias River and about 30 are captured the Friday of the scheduled event. But this year, fair officials were only able to locate one boar, despite flying the river. The event was postponed until Saturday, but neither the landowner nor fair officials could locate the absent pigs. Embleton says next year, organizers will devise a new plan to locate and capture the animals earlier in the week. See answer, page 2A

Those rules are still valid today Q: I’ve heard of the Ten Commandments all my life and been told I ought to obey them but aren’t they out of date? After all, they were written thousands of years ago, and the world has changed a lot since then. - K.W. A: Yes, the world has changed greatly since God gave the Ten Commandments to His people almost 3,500 years ago, but if anything, that makes them even more important to us today, not less so. Why do I say this? One reason is because we live in a time of great moral confusion - and all around us we see the results of that chaos. To put it another way, we’ve lost the meaning of right and wrong, and we make up our own rules for how we’ll live. But those “rules” will never bring us lasting happiness because they only lead to instability and conflict. Isn’t it time for us to turn back to the solid and unshakable laws that God has given us? Since He made us, doesn’t He also know what is best for us? Of course. But there is a deeper reason why the Ten Commandments are still valid for us today. Yes, times change - but God doesn’t change, and neither does our basic human nature. We need His guidance just as much today as people did thousands of years ago. The Bible says, “Keep his decrees and commands... so that it may go well with you and your children after you” (Deuteronomy 4:40). Don’t be misled by those who say we don’t need to bother with God or His rules for living. Instead, open your heart and life to Jesus Christ, and then make it your goal to follow God’s will every day.
