ELECTION 2010
Commish candidate bows out Cole: Concerns about Coats town manager position led to decision taking in Harnett County, the Sanford Democrat withdrew his name for election in Lee early Tuesday, said county Board of Elections Director Nancy Kimble. Cole was set to challenge GOP candidate Jim Womack for the District 4 seat of outgoing Commissioner Jamie Kelly this fall.

SANFORD — Kenny Cole is out of the race for the Lee County Board of Commissioners. Following weeks of speculation over possible conflicts with a town manager position he is
But he said Tuesday that lingering concerns about the legality of his bid for office pushed him to his decision. “I just felt like it would be unfair to the voters for me to actually go out and get them to campaign for me knowing that there might be a chance that I’d
have to step down,” Cole said. The former assistant county manager said he spoke with election law experts from the UNC Institute of Government regarding a statute that cast some doubts on whether he could run for county commissioner while

State passes ban on sweetened drinks at day care Rep. Love votes against final draft of new law, criticizes AFP By CHELSEA KELLNER kellner@sanfordherald.com

before its approval — it now limits the distribution of sugarsweetened drinks instead of banning them altogether — but opponents say that’s still too much governmental meddling. The bill now limits or prohibits flavored milk at child care centers, as well as serving any sweetened beverages other
than 100 percent fruit juice. Serving whole milk to children two years of age or older is included, as well as serving juice from a bottle. There is an exception for children with medical needs, special diets or food allergies.

Almanac Today is Wednesday, June 30, the 181st day of 2010. There are 184 days left in the year. This day in history: On June 30, 1860, the famous Oxford University Museum debate on Darwin’s theory of evolution took place as Anglican Bishop Samuel Wilberforce led his side in denouncing the concept, while biologist T.H. Huxley rose to defend it. (Although exact details of the debate, which was not transcribed, are in dispute, it is generally believed that Huxley’s side prevailed.) In 1859, French acrobat Charles Blondin walked back and forth on a tightrope above the gorge of Niagara Falls as thousands of spectators watched. In 1908, the Tunguska Event took place in Russia as an asteroid exploded above Siberia, leaving 800 square miles of scorched or blown-down trees. In 1934, Adolf Hitler carried out his “blood purge” of political and military rivals in Germany in what came to be known as “The Night of the Long Knives.” In 1958, the U.S. Senate passed the Alaska statehood bill by a vote of 64-20. In 1963, Pope Paul VI was installed as 262nd head of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1971, a Soviet space mission ended in tragedy when three cosmonauts aboard Soyuz 11 were found dead inside their spacecraft after it had returned to Earth. In 1985, 39 American hostages from a hijacked TWA jetliner were freed in Beirut after being held 17 days.

SANFORD — In the mood for some food, contests and outdoor fun? Look no further than the annual Family 4th Festival, which kicks off Saturday in Depot Park. The festival begins at 4 p.m. with the Pets and Pedals Parade for kids and their furry friends, sponsored by Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption. “The kids decorate their bicycles, tricycles and wagons and wear patriotic clothes,” said Jennifer St. Clair, marketing director at the Sanford Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a fun way of kicking it off.” The afternoon will also include a kids fun zone courtesy of the Lee County YMCA, Yarborough’s ice cream and the third annual pie eating contest. Contestants will scarf down blueberry pies without the use of their hands as they vie for the first-place ribbon. “It’s probably become the most popular part of the day,” St. Clair said. “It’s really more of a bragging rights event.” The Family 4th festivities will wind down with a performance from Heart of Carolina Jazz featuring the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Choir. This year’s festival will also feature a sidewalk chalk art contest at noon, a new activity sponsored by the Lee County Arts Council. “We hope we’re providing something our local families can really enjoy,” St. Clair said. The celebration continues Sunday night with a fireworks display at Sanford Health and Rehabilitation. Sanford

resident Cindy Ammons said her husband’s family has been organizing the event for the past 12 or 13 years. “They did it starting out as a family and it’s grown over the last eight or nine years to where we’ll have a couple hundred people,” Ammons said. Though the event doesn’t start until 9 p.m., Ammons said the field usually starts filling up anywhere from 7-8:30 p.m. She said she looks forward to helping out every year, but her in-laws, Jimmy and Christine Ammons, are the primary organizers. “They’re really into the community and having something for people to do and enjoy for the holiday,” Ammons said.

Enrichment Center taking requests for fans for local senior citizens
SANFORD — A local program is seeking to help area senior citizens get relief from the summer heat. The Lee County Enrichment Center is taking requests for fans for senior citizens aged 60 or older living in Lee County who have an existing home situation which presents a threat to their health. “There are so many of the most vulnerable and most needy in Lee County who cannot afford to run their air conditioner due to utility costs, if they even have one,” social work supervisor Tami Carter said. Fans will be given on a first-come, first-served basis, and will be avail-
able next week, Carter said. Contact 776-0501 ext. 201 or stop by the Enrichment Center at 1615 S. Third Street for further details or to request a fan. About 40 fans will be available. Financial donations to the program are appreciated, Carter said. Donations of new fans are also accepted, but the facility has limited storage space, Carter said. — by Chelsea Kellner
By KATERINE McDONALD Special to The Herald
PITTSBORO — Bricks and mortar are growing greener at Central Carolina Community College in Chatham County as construction moves forward on three new buildings. All are expected to be awarded the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Level certification — or higher. LEED is the national standard for the construction of green buildings, which are designed and constructed to conserve both energy and resources while creating inviting environments for those who use them. The Sustainable Technologies Center and a joint county-college Chatham Community Library are nearing completion on the Chatham County Campus, in Pittsboro. The new Siler City Center in the Central Carolina Business Campus, in Siler City, is expected to open in January. Green construction, also called sustainable or eco-friendly, uses natural and/or recycled materials and incorporates sunlight and terrain into the design and siting of buildings. It utilizes resourceconserving systems, such as water recycling and solar power. “We are excited and pleased that Chatham County and Central Carolina Community College are among the leaders in the greening of America,” said CCCC President Bud Marchant. “The college is committed to minimizing its carbon footprint on the Earth. These new buildings embody the environmentally sustainable principles the college teaches in its green programs.” The classroom and library on the Chatham Campus share a wastewater reclamation and recycling system that is one of the most advanced in the country. Hal House, president of Integrated Water Strategies, in Chatham, designed the innovative system, which uses a series of sand filters and plants to clean the water. The recycled water will be used for toilet flushing, irrigation and other non-potable water uses. Using recycled water significantly reduces the amount of potable water drawn from the county water supply. Both buildings will be connected to a highly efficient central heating and cooling plant that uses evaporative cooling and recycled water. All the landscaping around the two buildings will be low-maintenance native plants that require minimal water. Roof solar
CHATHAM COMMUNITY LIBRARY The 25,000-square-foot Chatham Community Library (pictured above) is costing about $5.5 million to build, with about another $2.1 million for design and engineering, furnishings, equipment, road improvements, and contingency. It will be a joint facility, serving as Chatham County’s main library but also used by the college. Large areas of glass on an exterior wall maximize the use of natural daylighting, while the over-hanging convex roof design diffuses the sunlight entering the building. The floor tiles can be removed, providing flexibility in the location of heating/air conditioning vents and electrical outlets. There are no air ducts; a computer controls the flow of air through the open space beneath the floor. The Friends of the Library have raised more than $750,000 for furniture, collections and other enhancements to the facility. Artwork by community members will add important aesthetics, including two ethanol-fueled fireplaces and a wrought-iron gate for the entrance to the children’s section. Louis Cherry, of Cherry Huffman Architects, in Raleigh, designed both the Sustainable Technologies Center and the Chatham Community Library. He is a LEED Accredited Professional and a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. The contractor is Barnhill Contracting Company, of Tarboro.
SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES CENTER The 18,000-square-foot, Sustainable Technologies Center will allow for the expansion of the campus’ sustainability programs, housing the classrooms and laboratories for the biofuels, green building/renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, ecotourism, and culinary arts programs. The construction cost is about $4.5 million, with an additional $600,000 for design/engineering and contingency. The building itself will offer students a real-time example of sustainable building design and operations. Among its features will be a low-maintenance vegetative roof of sedum, a drought-resistant succulent. This will reduce heat radiation, provide insulation, decrease the flow of water run-off, and create a habitat for birds and insects.
SILER CITY CENTER The college plans a major expansion of its workforce and adult education programs in western Chatham County with the new 23,322-square-foot Siler City Center located on a 41-acre site in the industrial park on Highway 64 West. The college has been holding its classes in the former Henry B. Siler Elementary School since 1984. The Center is costing $4.2 million to build, with another $1.4 million for equipment, design and engineering, and contingency. It will house classroom, offices, student center, computer and class labs, vocational/industrial training shops, bookstore, and other services. The Siler City Center will be one of the few college centers in North Carolina located in an industrial park. G. Taylor Hobbs III, of Hobbs Architects, in Pittsboro, designed the Siler City Center. He is a LEED Accredited Professional. The contractor is Monteith Corp., of Montrose.
energy collectors will heat the water for the buildings. Back in 2005, the college requested and the Chatham County Board of Commissioners agreed to construct additional facilities to serve the college’s ever-growing enrollment and the county’s increasing need for workforce training. The decision to use green construction fit in with their concern for the environment and the desire to showcase what the county and college are doing in sustainability. County officials say Chatham is committed to preserving its scenic environment and open spaces, while encouraging local, sustainable industry and agriculture. CCCC is nicknamed “Green Central” for its leadership in the promotion and development of green workforce training. “CCCC is an educational leader in sustainable building practices,” said Sally Kost, chair of the Chatham County Board of Commissioners.

“The new facilities themselves will be valuable teaching tools. We are proud of CCCC and their reputation as a leader in sustainability and we understand the college’s important role in economic development and its high value to this community.” The construction of the Chatham-Central Carolina green facilities also reflects the growing state and national commitment to construction of green buildings as a critical factor in a healthy, sustainable environment. According to the American Institute of Architects, buildings are the largest consumers of energy in the United
States, producing an estimated 43 percent of all greenhouse gases. “The new buildings will further solidify Chatham County’s competitive edge in attracting and supporting new green industries through enhanced workforce development opportunities,” said Karen Allen, the college’s Chatham County provost. “Our sustainable agriculture programs have demonstrated the ability of the college to serve as a catalyst for economic development. These buildings will further enhance our ability to provide quality workforce training.”

Time for a fresh change atop school board
W
ith two new members coming aboard in three weeks and a new school year on the nottoo-distant horizon, chances are that some changes are afoot for the Lee County Board of Education. Included in that is the likelihood that the school board will have a new chairman — meaning that the leadership tenure of current chairman Bill Tatum will end. Tatum’s reign has been marked by action and movement. Much of it has been positive. Still, a broad sense of distrust the public has with
the Lee County School System hasn’t diminished under his watch. The nature of the distrust is partly a function of past boards’ struggles to find and keep good superintendents, some betrayals (not worth rehashing here) and other nagging issues related to the persistent split the board seems to have, as well as the sense that good teachers are leaving the system in droves. But Tatum’s reign — despite some real accomplishments in the schools — has only seemed to generate more distrust. His bullying tactics and gamesmanship won’t be missed. During this spring’s school
board races, there was a broad public outcry for more transparency on the board. Sitting board members indicated they were being plenty transparent (often pointing to new superintendent Jeff Moss’s “podcasts” as proof ), but parents and concerned citizens begged to differ. (The fact that Moss is a “numbers guy” and decidedly not a personable sort has also contributed, although Moss’s supposed talents with the financials have, according to board members and school personnel, been a significant asset in these lean fiscal times.) During the race, every
candidate — incumbents and challengers alike — promised more transparency and more communication. Perhaps the new chairman will deliver it. Only two new board members were elected in May, and one of them — John Bonardi — is returning to the board after not seeking re-election two years ago. But times have changed in those two years. On the upside, the renovation of Lee County High School is officially under way and Moss has had more than a year to implement changes to improve the system. On the downside, fiscal pressures on
school systems have increased almost exponentially. So the timing is perfect for a change in style. It stands to reason the board will likely see more than minor shifts in character and personality with a new chairman and the addition of the principled Mark Akinosho (whom some sitting board members vigorously campaigned against) to the mix. We hope so. Like this summer’s early heat, it’s time for the oppression to end and some fresh, cool air to give us all some relief.

Practicing independence
A
s we prepare to celebrate the July Fourth holiday, we think back to our country’s beginnings when our early leaders crafted that important document known as the Declaration of Independence. That document declared our independence from Great Britain. We were to be a free country, with the various freedoms (religion, speech, etc.) that would help to make the United States the envy of many. America was where people wanted to be, a grand nation where the possibilities seemed endless. It’s a shame that independence has wafted so far from our beliefs. One cannot help but to wonder how much our legislators, on a federal and state level, really believe in independence. After all, they seem so intent on following their party lines that one wonders if they are even aware of the meaning of the word bipartisan. I love my country, but I’m disappointed that we seem so divided on most issues and so unwilling to work together for the common good of all people. I realize we have a political system that is ruled by the Democratic and Republican parties, which have their own general beliefs. I, too, realize that our freedoms include our ability to express differing viewpoints. We’ll not always agree, but it’s through those various viewpoints that we can craft together the best of ideas. Our government was once well respected. There were disagreements, yes, but there also was bipartisan cooperation. That once regular occurrence seems as if it is nothing more than a memory of the past. I’m convinced that no one person and no political party has all of the answers. I do not know what our future holds as a country, as a state and as a county. But, I do believe that unless we are willing to put our pride aside and focus on what’s best for our country instead of what’s best for the Democratic … or Republican … or Libertarian parties, then we’re going to continue to have a great divide that can keep us heading down a slippery slope that leaves us vulnerable from the greatness that we have known in the past. What will it take to wake up our political parties and our politicians? Why can’t they see that we’re stronger working together than to be in constant division? Personally, I admire a politician who is willing to take a stand, voting his or her real conviction rather than doing everything along party lines. Our leaders need to be independent thinkers and doers. This Independence Day, I hope that our lawmakers on all levels will think about the real meaning of independence — and about doing the right thing for our citizens, by working together and doing what’s best for all. There’s nothing wrong with independent thinking and actions. It’s about finding compromises that best serve all people.
Confusing days in N.C. I
admit it. I’m confused. North Carolina politicians are confusing me. Which state politicians are confusing me? The leaders of the North Carolina General Assembly, for starters. Their position appears to be that allowing private citizens to set up and play video-gambling machines at legal establishments would be morally abominable, even if the resulting business would throw off tens if not hundreds of millions of tax dollars John Hood into state and local treasuries. Columnist North Carolina governments shouldn’t be John Hood is president of paying their bills from ill-gotten gambling the John Locke Foundation revenues, they say.

Re: Recent letter to the editor against actions and non-actions taken by the Lee County Animal Control and Lee County Health Department. I know how you feel, Mr. Laws, about the plight of the pet population falling on deaf ears. Oh and this gas chamber debate is something that needs to be addressed again and put to its own death once and for all. How inhumane have we become to be able to put a helpless unwanted dog or cat into one of these chambers and know that this has to be one of the most horrific ways to put an animal down? We all know now that an injection is so much more humane and also not as expensive. I think that there are always going to be people out there who do not think of dogs and cats as pets but as livestock and easily discarded. Many will always feel that these furry creatures do not feel pain and sadness the same way as we humans do. No, they can’t tell us when they have pain, but the caring pet owner knows this just by watching their behavior. I do not know what the easy answers are, but first and foremost, we as adults in this country need to educate the young children. That is the only way to make it known about how important it is to take care of the pets they have. It’s important they learn the little things, like making sure pets have fresh, clean water and that they are fed and properly cared for. Start young to teach ... and maybe there would be hope. Unless we do this, there will always be stray animals roaming the countryside looking for someone to care about them. They become the road kill and they starve to death or die at the hands of someone that sees them as a threat. JOAN AXNER Sanford
Uh, oh. Criminals now in danger after ruling To the Editor: The recent Supreme Court decision overturning the city of Chicago’s ban upon law-abiding citizen’s right to keep and bear arms is a terrible ruling. This ruling endangers criminals both inside and outside the Chicago political machine who now will be vulnerable to this newly unleashed armed citizenry. The potential threat to the criminal culture that is part of the Chicago political machine will undermine our Dear Leader and his cluster of crony corrupt friends. This ruling cannot stand as our government should be the only entity allowed to have firearms and the right to use deadly force. May I suggest that our Congressman Bob Etheridge, in order to save face, immediately submit articles of impeachment directed at those five justices who support this “charter of negative rights!” Let me make myself perfectly clear. It is time to protect the rights of criminals to work in a threat free environment and to overturn this judicial abuse demonstrated by these rouge justices! As always, I shall remain looking forward to the workers’ paradise. KIRK D. SMITH Sanford

Raven Rock visitors get big welcome
LILLINGTON (MCT) — Raven Rock State Park finally has a way of giving visitors a glimpse of its natural beauty before they hike to it. Tucked at the end of Raven Rock Road about nine miles northwest of Lillington, the park has a gleaming 7,190-squarefoot visitor center that represents the first capital improvement there since the park opened in 1969. With high, wood-beam ceilings and rustic stone facades, the new building nestles naturally into its surroundings. It includes
a modern exhibit hall with interactive displays that touch on the geology, biology and history of the park and its distinctive jutting rock overhang. The park encompasses almost 4,700 acres on both sides of the Cape Fear River and attracts more than 120,000 visitors a year. “To me, the coolest thing about it is they can establish some kind of idea of what the park is about, what we have to offer and why the park is here,� said Kristen Brigner, the park superin-
tendent. The center was part of a $4.3 million improvement project that includes a large picnic shelter and paving of the entrance road and parking area. It was paid for out of the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, which is funded though state taxes on real estate deed transfers. It gets an official launch at a dedication ceremony set for 10 a.m. July 17, but visitors are already seeing the benefits. — Fayetteville Observer

Drinks Continued from Page 1A
Rep. Jimmy Love (DLee) voted against the final version of the bill. He said the last minute weakened wording was still “overbearing.” “That section of the bill is already covered under present rules and regulations, and the child care facilities I talked to were comfortable with what we have right now,” Love said. Love said he voted for the bill in its original form last Thursday in order to preserve the second portion of the bill, which increases the amount of time mandated for physical activity at child care centers. Sponsored by Reps. Jennifer Weiss (DWake), Bob England (D-Cleveland), Marian McLawhorn (D-Pitt) and Douglas Yongue (DHoke), the bill is intended to improve child nutrition standards and help fight childhood obesity. The Florida State Board of Education considered a similar measure earlier this year, but backed off until new federal nutrition guidelines are released. Dallas Woodhouse, North Carolina director for conservative political group Americans for Prosperity, said he didn’t mind the House passing recommendations, but that such legislation is ultimately unnecessary. “Parents and professional child care givers are perfectly capable of figuring out what to feed kids,” Woodhouse said. The organization placed automated calls to thousands of Lee County
residents last weekend, urging them to contact Love and ask that he vote against the bill. Woodhouse credits the calls with changing Love’s mind. “All we have to do is inform people when these nanny-state big government bills come up, and people will speak out,” Woodhouse said. Love said that he had already planned to vote against the bill if the wording was not changed to his satisfaction. He called the group’s automated message “misleading.” “There was no attempt to try to tell parents what their children should eat or drink — that goes without saying that that’s their responsibility,” Love said. Blandonia Child Development Center currently serves both chocolate- and strawberry-flavored milk, administrative director Beady Waddell said, but the center will gladly follow government guidelines. “I feel like usually, when the government comes out with something like this, somebody has come out with research and they have a good reason for doing it,” Waddell said. “I don’t argue with research, I just hope they did good research.” The bill was sent to the N.C. Senate on Tuesday and referred to the committee on health care. It will not become law until it passes in the Senate. Next on the agenda for House representatives is the state budget, expected to be passed sometime today.

four runners-up will win $100,000 and 195 others will receive $20,000. As of Tuesday, Carolina Tiger Rescue held the 189th spot on the leaderboard with 356 votes. Pam Fulk, executive director at Carolina Tiger Rescue, said if the organization wins $20,000 the money will go toward the care of the animals. “We’d buy water tubs for the summer and similar things that go into their everyday care,” Fulk said. “There’s always a lot to do here — gravel for the roads, lawn tractors we use to mow with, things we use every day that wear down over time.” Formerly Carnivore

holding a town manager position elsewhere. Cole will begin full-time duties as manager in the small, Harnett County town of Coats Thursday. State statutes read that a city manager position “may be held concurrently with other appointive (but not elective) offices” like a seat on the Board of Commissioners. Additional stipulations in the law indicated that an individual may hold a manager job and elected office with some conditions, including the provision that the manager position is in a municipality with a population of less than 3,000. A 2008 U.S. Census estimated tagged Coats’ population at 2,134, but Cole said the murky
Preservation Trust, Carolina Tiger Rescue is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection of wildcats. The sanctuary currently houses 75 animals, including tigers, ocelots and bobcats, that have been mistreated, abandoned or confiscated. Part of Carolina Tiger Rescue’s mission is working toward wildcats no longer being owned as pets or used for entertainment purposes.
“It’s a public safety issue,” Fulk said. “The animals should not be in private hands. It’s dangerous, and it’s an animal welfare issue. Very few people understand how to adequately care for animals like this.” Carolina Tiger Rescue also offers tours and field trips to educate people about wildcats and why they are in need of protection. “People begin to meet these animals and see them as someone else rather than something,” Fulk said. “If they learn to treat them with respect, that carries over into other areas.” People can vote for Carolina Tiger Rescue in the Chase giveaway until July 13, but Byrne said people can help year-round by volunteer-
ing, donating or keeping up with the sanctuary’s Facebook fan page for any specific needs. She said the Internet has opened up new possibilities for how people can help. “Voting is probably the easiest thing you can do to help us out, but people can also list our charity on iGive. com, so when you shop online we receive a percentage of that,” Byrne said. Even if it seems like a small gesture, Byrne said voting on Facebook and encouraging others to vote will play an important role in determining whether Carolina Tiger Rescue will receive a $20,000 donation. “Because this is viral, a vote really makes a difference,” Byrne said. “It seems like such a small thing, but it’s really a huge thing. We’re really excited about it.”
nature of the law made his campaign something of a gamble. “I regret it and I hate it,” he said. “It was something I had really looked forward to.” Lee County Democratic Party Chairman Ty Stumpf said he supports Cole’s decision, adding that the conflict in the statute left Cole choosing what was best for residents in Lee and Coats. “When he looked at it, he felt like that conflict would not be something to work through,” Stumpf said. Cole heard calls of late to bow out of the race from opposition and Womack, who argued this week that Cole would be mired in an “inherent conflict of interest” when it came to economic recruitment drives in competing Lee and Harnett counties. Womack said Tuesday that Cole’s decision to withdraw will make the November election “an interesting race to follow.”
“I think that was the right decision,” Womack said. “I wish him well in his new job over in Coats.” Because Cole pulled out of the race at least 120 days before the Nov. 2 election, Lee County Democrats are allowed to tap a replacement candidate. That candidate must be certified by local Democrats at least 75 days before Election Day. Stumpf said no decisions have been made on a fill-in, although the party’s Executive Committee was holding session to discuss the issue Tuesday night. Stumpf said the party will accept applications to run and the Executive Committee will make recommendations to the county party before members vote on a new opponent for Womack. He said Democrats should have another candidate in place within a matter of weeks. Cole said his unexpected exit should not dampen Democrats’ chances of
winning the county seat. “I think it depends on the individual and not the circumstances that I’m leaving behind,” he said. “I hope that I’m not leaving behind bad circumstances for anybody.” Cole dismissed any implications that his departure was the result of any additional involvement in Lee affairs, such as his contracted work advising county health officials on its handling of animal control issues. Cole, a Sanford resident, is also a commissioner-appointed member of the Lee County Board of Health, a county advisory board on health-related issues. Womack said Cole’s decision will have little impact on his campaign to replace Kelly on the Board of Commissioners. “I’m going to run an issues-based campaign into the fall and hope to win a majority of the votes,” he said.

Clerk, wife shot during armed robbery
CARTHAGE (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Moore County store clerk and her husband were shot during a robbery Monday night, according to the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. Two men have been charged with robbing the store and exchanging gunfire with someone in the parking lot. A third suspected robber is in a hospital with a gunshot wound, according to the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. Someone called 911 at 10:36 p.m. to report three men with guns robbing the Short Stop on U.S. 1 in the Lakeview community, investigators say.
The men traded gunshots with a person in the parking lot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear who the person was, and officials with the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be reached immediately this morning. Deputies arrived and found the store clerk, Grace Kelly, and her husband, Angus G. Kelly, with gunshot wounds. Grace Kelly was treated at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital and released, the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said. Angus Kelly was flown to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill where he underwent surgery and is in stable condition,
according to the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. Their ages arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately available. After a two-hour search involving multiple agencies, deputies found two of the men hiding in woods about a half-mile from the store. They were identified as Randy Joel Williams, 17, of the 300 block of Shaw Avenue in Southern Pines, and Demarcus James Dennison, 18, of Polkton, the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said in a news release. Williams, who was shot in his face, was taken to FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital where he underwent surgery
and is in critical condition, the release said. Dennison and the third man, identified as 20-year-old Leroy Richard Medley of the 1100 block of West Indiana Avenue in Southern Pines, have been charged with two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and one count of first-degree kidnapping, the release said.

House, Senate tentatively OK $19B budget
RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The General Assembly gave tentative approval Tuesday to a final budget that Democrats contend would preserve more teachers and university faculty jobs this fall but also likely would end help with cooking and bathing for thousands of Medicaid patients living at home. In largely party-line votes, the Senate gave initial approval 31-14 to the nearly $19 billion spending plan followed by the House with a 66-49 margin. The two chambers must approve the bill again on Wednesday before it heads to Gov. Beverly Perdue. She said Tuesday she intends to sign the bill into law before the new fiscal year begins Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on time for the first time since 2003. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took big cuts
cash, checks, debit or credit cards
and made hard choices, but by tomorrow we will have balanced the budget with our priorities intact,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said in a news release calling the budget a â&#x20AC;&#x153;clear winâ&#x20AC;? for North Carolina residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most importantly, North Carolina will be positioned to fully recover from this global economic recession.â&#x20AC;? The measure includes no broad tax increases but provides a tax credit to small businesses for a portion of their unemployment insurance tax. It also includes more money for Perdue to try to recruit companies to the state with economic incentives. The Democrats said they closed an estimated $800 million budget gap by reducing spending by more than 3 percent compared to what was slated for use in the second year of the twoyear budget that was approved last summer. Lawmakers also had to narrow a $519 million gap created because Congress hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approved additional Medicaid funds as expected, in part by reducing spending an additional 1 percentage point. Republicans attacked the final proposal as an unbalanced budget because it still relied on the extra Medicaid money and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepare for an estimated $3 billion shortfall next year when
temporary tax increases expire and stimulus money runs out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend wishes and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appropriate hope. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have money,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Johnathan Rhyne, R-Lincoln. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This bill is legislative malpractice. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a part of it.â&#x20AC;? House members asked several questions about a provision that would replace two Medicaid programs that pay for aides to help about 38,000 people living at home with bathing, cooking and other personal care needs. About 20,000 patients ultimately would continue to receive Medicaid assistance under the new programs, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services. Lawmakers tried to get costs in the home care industry under control last year but regulators struggled for most of the year to do so. The department said inpatient visits by nurses beginning a few months ago found most patients were either ineligible for the services or required less assistance. Tim Rogers, chief executive officer of the Association for Home and Hospice Care of North Carolina, said the patients losing services will only cause higher Medicaid costs elsewhere through emergen-

Campus denies more applications than in past FAYETTEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Officials at a historically black university in North Carolina have denied more applications this year than any time in its 143-year history because of higher standards. Vice Chancellor Thomas Conway Jr. says Fayetteville State University received about 1,900 applications this year. He expects about 725 freshmen will be on campus when the fall semester starts Aug. 20. Admissions officers have raised the threshold for grade-point averages and standardized test scores after more stringent admission standards were put in place last fall for all University of North Carolina campuses.
Congressman opposes new international terminal
WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A North Carolina congressman has voiced opposition to a proposed massive cargo terminal along North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coast. Congressman Mike McIntyre said in a statement issued Tuesday that he is opposed to the planned North Carolina International Terminal in Brunswick County because of concerns over the environment, national security and its several billion dollar price tag. McIntyreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement comes a day after North Carolina lawmakers declined to include money in the state budget for a federal feasibility study, the next step in the port development process.

BEAUFORT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Coast Guard rescued three men off the North Carolina coast after their boat overturned. A 24-foot Coast Guard shallow water rescue boat and a crew from a boat-towing service called TowBoatU. S. pulled the three people from Beaufort Inlet on Tuesday. The crew of another boat had contacted Coast Guard Station Fort Macon and reported that a boat had overturned. TowBoatU.S. arrived first and recovered two people, and the Coast Guard recovered the third person. All three were evaluated by paramedics on the Coast Guard boat, then released with no injuries.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Erin Brockovich, an environmental activist made famous by a movie of the same name, is lending her support to a bill that would create a public trust responsible for managing the Yadkin River and its dams, as the battle for control of the waterway continued Tuesday. Brockovich was the guest at a luncheon and news conference in Raleigh, where she spoke about the environmental impact of an aluminum smelter plant once operated by Alcoa Inc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this for 20 years and in my line of work I have just seen repeatedly, unfortunately, the fallout of companies and toxic pollution and the damage that it has caused not only to the environment but occasionally public health and safety,â&#x20AC;? Brockovich said. Brockovich said companies like Alcoa need to be held accountable for pollution. A study by a Clemson University researcher shows there are environmental problems involving Badin Lake, a 5,300-acre reservoir that empties into the Yadkin. Brockovich gained international fame after the 2000 release of a movie that portrayed her discovery that a utility company was

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Elizabeth Edwards says it was not easy to leave former senator and presidential contender John Edwards in the wake of his affair. Edwards says in a new chapter of her memoir released Tuesday that she tried for two years to â&#x20AC;&#x153;reinventâ&#x20AC;? her role as wife before deciding at the end of 2009 that she did not want to try anymore. The Edwardses have since separated and he has acknowledged fathering a child with his mistress during his 2008 campaign for the White House. Elizabeth Edwards says in her book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Resilienceâ&#x20AC;? that it was not easy to leave the marriage because she saw 30 years of memories in him. She is battling cancer and says she hopes to live long enough to see her youngest child graduate high school.

SPY ARRESTS
NATION BRIEFS Chicago gun ban on way out, but mayor vows fight
CHICAGO (AP) — A Supreme Court ruling finding that Americans have the right to bear arms anywhere they live almost certainly means the end of Chicago’s decades-old handgun ban, but it may not make handgun ownership there much easier if the city’s powerful mayor has his way. Shortly after the high court voted 5-4 Monday along familiar ideological lines — with five conservativemoderate justices in favor of gun rights and four liberals opposed — Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley said officials were already at work rewriting the city ordinance to adhere to the court ruling while protecting Chicago residents from gun violence. “We will never give in to those who use guns to harm others,” Daley said in comments aimed at his constituents. “Your fight is my fight and we’re in this together.” And in other cities and states, officials said they were confident their gun control laws would withstand legal challenges. “We do think it’ll probably give us some bigger legal bills, but I suspect that we will be able to continue to do exactly what we’ve been doing — have reasonable regulations as to who can buy and where you can carry,” New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an ardent gun control advocate, said of Monday’s ruling.
Petraeus leaves room for changes in Afghan pullout
WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen. David Petraeus left open the possibility of recommending that President Barack Obama delay his plans to start withdrawing troops from Afghanistan next summer if the new commander can’t turn around the stalemated war. “There will be an assessment at the end of this year after which undoubtedly we’ll make certain tweaks, refinements, perhaps some significant changes,” Petraeus told a Senate panel Tuesday of the battle plan and the timeline Obama has laid out. The Senate Armed Services Committee quickly approved Petraeus for the job of running the Afghan war, and the full Senate could act as early as Tuesday evening. Obama
nominated Petraeus to take over from the disgraced Gen. Stanley McChrystal, fired last week for disparaging remarks about his civilian bosses. Petraeus also told senators that he may change the war’s battlefield rules, designed to limit civilian casualties and improve support for the foreign forces fighting the Taliban-led insurgency. Some troops and congressional Republicans complain they handicap U.S. forces. Obama has said troops will begin to leave in July 2011, but that the pace and size of the withdrawal will depend upon conditions.
Kagan insists she didn’t block military while at Harvard WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan clashed Tuesday with a Republican senator over the limits she ordered on military recruiters while dean of Harvard Law School, repeatedly denying she blocked them as she sought to deflect foes’ efforts to slow her apparently smooth road to confirmation. Despite a testy exchange with the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, President Barack Obama’s nominee soldiered through her second day of public testimony on Capitol Hill apparently in good shape to win Senate approval — barring a major gaffe — in time to take her seat before the court opens a new term in October. If confirmed, Kagan, 50, would succeed retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. Republican foes weren’t giving up quietly. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said he emerged from the long day of questioning more “troubled” about Kagan’s nomination than he had been previously. During his sometimes heated back-and-forth with Kagan, Sessions said her decision to bar recruiters from the law school’s career services office over the Pentagon’s prohibition on openly gay soldiers was “punishing” the military at Harvard, treating them in a “second-class way” and creating a hostile environment for the military on campus. Kagan said she was trying to balance Harvard’s nondiscrimination policy, which she believed “don’t ask, don’t tell” violated, with a federal law that required schools to give military recruiters equal access as a condition of eligibility for federal funds.
Russia rips arrests, now at 11 NEW YORK (AP) — A shadowy money man for a Russian spy ring whose members were assigned a decade or more ago to infiltrate American society was captured overseas, authorities said Tuesday, becoming the last of 11 arrests made over three days in one of the largest such busts in recent years. Russian officials angrily denounced the arrests as “Cold War-era spy stories,” but officials there and at the White House insisted they would do little or nothing to tear recently mending relations between the two nations. The FBI moved on the bust because one of the suspects was scheduled to leave the country, the Justice Department said. The last suspect, using the name Christopher Metsos and purporting to be a Canadian citizen, was arrested at the Larnaca airport in Cyprus while trying to fly to Budapest, Hungary, police in the Mediterranean island nation said. He was later released on bail. Metsos, 54, was among those named in complaints unsealed Monday in federal court in Manhattan. Authorities in Cyprus said he will remain there for one month until extradition proceedings begin. Most of the suspects were accused of using fake names and claims of U.S. citizenship while re-
ally being Russian. It was unclear how and where they were recruited, but court papers say the operation goes back as far as the 1990s. Intelligence on President Barack Obama’s foreign policy, particularly toward Russia, appears to have been their top priority, according to prosecutors, who charged each of the 10 arrested in the U.S. with conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government without notifying the U.S. attorney general. The 38-year-old son of one of the arrested couples, Vicky Pelaez and Juan Lazaro, said Tuesday outside their home in Yonkers that he didn’t believe the allegations. “This looks like an Alfred Hitchcock movie with all this stuff from the 1960s. This is preposterous,” Waldomar Mariscal said. Of the charges, he said, “They’re all inflated little pieces in the mosaic of unbelievable things.” Russia’s foreign ministry acknowledged Tuesday that those arrested included Russian citizens but insisted they did nothing to hurt U.S. interests. The ministry earlier angrily denounced the arrests as an unjustified throwback to the Cold War, and senior lawmakers said some in the U.S. government may be trying to undercut President Barack Obama’s warming relations with Moscow.
“These actions are unfounded and pursue unseemly goals,” the ministry said in a statement. “We don’t understand the reasons which prompted the U.S. Department of Justice to make a public statement in the spirit of Cold Warera spy stories.” The timing of the arrests was notable, given the efforts by Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to reset U.S.Russia relations. The two leaders met last week at the White House after Medvedev visited hightech firms in California’s Silicon Valley, and both attended the G-8 and G-20 meetings over the weekend in Canada. A member of the Russian Parliament had suggested that elements of the U.S. government opposed to the recent thaw in relations were responsible for the timing of the arrests. But Justice spokesman Dean Boyd noted several critical law enforcement and operational reasons for the timing of the arrests, including one suspect’s plans to leave the country. Court documents indicate that the FBI believed defendant Anna Chapman, arrested Sunday in Manhattan, was about to go to Moscow, but it was not clear that her impending departure was the one that triggered the arrests. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin mentioned the
arrests during a meeting at his home with former President Bill Clinton, who was in Moscow to speak at a conference. “I understand that back home police are putting people in prison,” Putin said. “That’s their job. I’m counting on the fact that the positive trend seen in the relationship will not be harmed by these events.” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs sounded a similar note, saying relations wouldn’t take a hit. Obama, who wouldn’t comment earlier when questioned by reporters, was “fully and appropriately” informed, Gibbs said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Farbiarz on Monday called the allegations against the 10 suspects arrested in the U.S. “the tip of the iceberg” of a conspiracy of Russia’s intelligence service, the SVR, to collect inside U.S. information. Their charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison upon conviction. Two criminal complaints outlining the charges were filed in U.S. District Court in New York.

Can ‘Office’ function without Carell?
NEW YORK (AP) — Can Dunder Mifflin keep the lights on if actor Steve Carell leaves “The Office” after next season? Carell, who plays dunder-headed regional manager Michael Scott on NBC’s popular workplace comedy, has been voicing plans to resign his starring role and clean out his desk a year from now. “When I first signed on, I had a contract for seven seasons, and this coming year is my seventh,” he told E! News last weekend. “I just thought it was time for my character to go.” Of course, if this were actually the first move in a game to wangle a sweet new deal, Carell wouldn’t be the first actor to try it. (Paging Charlie Sheen!) On the other hand, Carell has juggled an active if uneven film career with his regular duties on “The Office” since its premiere. He recently starred with Tina Fey in the comedy feature “Date Night,” and many of his comments on his TV future were voiced while publicizing his latest release, the animated comedy “Despicable Me.” Now maybe he’s truly ready to concentrate on movies. And maybe he’s got the box-office juice to pull it off. Also, as he told Entertainment Weekly, “I just want to spend more time with my family.” (In Febru-

Steve Carell, star of “The Office,” arrives at the world premiere of his latest film, “Despicable Me,” on Sunday at The Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. ary, he told The Associated Press, “I would like for my kids to at least have some familiarity with who I am: ’It’s the man from TV!”’) That may all be hunky-dory for Carell. But whither “The Office” and the viewers who love it? Adapted from the original, British “mockumentary” series starring and cocreated by Ricky Gervais, NBC’s “The Office” was transplanted to U.S. soil in the city of Scranton, Pa., site of a regional office of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. Carell’s foolishly approval-seeking character, Michael Scott, was a suitably Yank variation on Gervais’ Brit office boss, David Brent. Then it was stocked with a supporting troupe of gifted cast members including Rainn Wilson,
John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, B.J. Novak and so many more. It debuted in March 2005, receiving critical praise if initially lackluster ratings. But NBC stuck with the series, which blossomed as the centerpiece of a two-hour block of Thursday comedies that, at their best, recall the network’s legendary “Must-See TV” days of yore. Of those shows — which last season also included “Community,” “Parks and Recreation” and the much-celebrated “30 Rock” — “The Office” was the biggest draw, claiming an average viewership of about 8.9 million, according to the Nielsen Co. In the meantime, it has been a regular Emmy
nominee for best comedy series, winning in 2006, the same year it was honored with a prestigious Peabody Award. Would Carell’s departure undermine “The Office” and, with it, NBC’s Thursday comedy stronghold? Carell says he doesn’t think so. “They’ve incorporated so many new characters and so many new, great story lines that I have no doubt it’ll continue as strong if not stronger than ever,” he told E! He may not just be modest, but also be right. Although enjoying a boost in its audience to 9.3 million viewers during 2008-09, the just-ended season attracted nearly 700,000 viewers more than during the 2007-08 season. In short, “The Office” is demonstrating little if any of the audience drop-off that typically plagues an aging series. The eventual departure of Michael Scott from the Dunder Mifflin fold, if it really happens, could offer all sorts of creature possibilities — and enhanced viewer interest — in the season ahead. After that, potentially, “The Office” could draw even more effectively on its deep bench of supporting players to help fill the gap Carell would leave behind.

Bullock, James divorce finalized LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are divorced. A court clerk in Austin, Texas, confirmed that the divorce between the Oscar-winning actress and celebrity biker was finalized Monday. Bullock filed to end the marriage in April after reports surfaced Bullock that James had been unfaithful. Details of the settlement were sealed by the court, but Bullock’s initial filing cited “discord or conflict of personalities” as grounds for the divorce. An attorney for Bullock did not immediately return calls to The Associated Press on Tuesday, but her publicist, Cheryl Maisel, confirmed the couple’s split was complete. James’ publicist, Monique Huey-Jones, declined to comment Tuesday. The actress and “Monster Garage” star met in 2003 and married in 2005. It seemed like an odd pairing — the movie star often called “America’s Sweetheart” marrying the tattooed biker who had been wed twice before. It was the first marriage for Bullock, who became a devoted stepmom to James’ children: Sunny, 6; Jesse Jr., 12; and Chandler, 15. The couple stayed out of the public eye as they continued their individual successes. She racked up film and production credits,

Czechs oppose plans for Michael Jackson statue PRAGUE (AP) — Thousands of Czechs are protesting plans to place a Michael Jackson statue in Prague. A group of fans plans to erect a two-meter (six-foot) column with a bronze bust of the King of Pop in Letna Park, where Jackson held a concert in 1996. They want to unveil it Aug. 29 to mark Jackson’s 52nd birthday. City authorities have approved the project. By Tuesday, more than 2,000 people had joined a Facebook protest claiming it makes no sense to put the statue in the park because Jackson had no connection with the Czech Republic. “Michael Jackson — rest in peace, and leave our Letna alone!” one Facebook message said. A Prague art gallery has proposed putting statue by a Czech contemporary artist there instead.

while he expanded his reality-TV presence, starring in his own series, “Jesse James is a Dead Man,” and appearing on “The Celebrity Apprentice.” Their problems surfaced in March, just days after Bullock won the best-actress Oscar for her role in “The Blind Side.” She had been on a career high — her romantic comedy, “The Proposal,” was a box-office smash, then she swept Hollywood’s awards season for her “Blind Side” performance. The couple was a fixture at the glittery awards shows this year. She called James “sexy” as she accepted her Screen Actor’s Guild award. Backstage, he held her purse as she spoke to reporters.

Ringo Starr gold drum to be displayed at N.Y. museum NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art will display Ringo Starr’s gold-plated snare drum in a special exhibition honoring his 70th birthday. The museum said Tuesday the drum will be shown from July 7 — Starr’s birthday — through December. The instrument was presented to the drummer by the Ludwig Drum Company in Chicago during the Beatles’ 1964 U.S. tour. It was given to him in appreciation for popularizing the Ludwig name. Starr played on a Ludwig oyster black pearl drum set during the Fab Fours’ 1964 appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Starr also will start the second season of the PBS series “Live From the Artists Den” with a performance taped at the Met. It will be shown the week of his birthday.

Rough seas from Alex halt skimming
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP and the Coast Guard sent oil-scooping skimming ships in the Gulf of Mexico back to shore Tuesday because nasty weather from Tropical Storm Alex churned up rough seas and powerful winds. U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Dave French said all efforts had been halted for now off the Louisiana coast. Efforts also had been halted off the coasts of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. French said workers were using the time off the water to replenish supplies and perform maintenance work on equipment. “We’re ready to go as soon as conditions allow us to get those people back out and fighting this oil spill,” French said. The loss of skimming work combined with 25 mph gusts driving water into the coast has left beaches especially vulnerable. In Alabama, the normally white beaches were streaked with long lines of oil, and tar balls collected on the sand. One swath of beach 40 feet wide was stained brown and mottled with globs of oil matted together. Tropical Storm Alex was projected to stay well away from the spill zone before possibly making landfall as a hurricane as early as Wednesday just south of the U.S.-Mexico border. But its outer edges were causing problems out in the Gulf. Wayne Hebert, who helps manage skimming operations for BP, said all nearshore skimmers were idled off the coasts of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. “Everyone is in because

of weather, whether it’s thunderstorms or (high) seas,” Hebert said. Waves were as high as 12 feet Tuesday in some parts of the Gulf. The surging waves and nasty weather make skimming work unsafe and ineffective, and also can mangle oil-soaking boom. The Coast Guard had to evacuate workers and equipment from coastal areas in Terrebonne Parish because of tidal surges that could cause flooding, French said.

The only vessels left in the water are being used to capture or burn oil and gas leaking from the well and to drill two relief wells that officials say are the best hope for stopping the leak for good. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the federal government’s point man for the spill response, said this round of rough weather wasn’t expected to affect the drilling operation. Nor is it expected to halt the tanker sucking up large quantities of oil through the cap on the well, or a second vessel that is burning off hundreds of thousands of gallons at the surface. Ten boats that had been removing oil from the coast of Alabama sought shelter in the protected waters of Mobile Bay or Perdido Bay, and a flotilla of vessels that had been trying to prevent oil from entering the pass

into Perdido Bay were gone. In Mississippi, four skimmers were riding out the storm beside Petit Bois Island, Hebert said. Cleanup crews fought the winds and showers with empty bags blowing across the sand occasionally and the tops of canvas shelters flapping in the breeze. Hebert said it was impossible to say when the work might resume. “I don’t control the weather,” he said. Pulling boats and crews off the water could cost precious time, said Nancy Kinner, co-director of the Coastal Response Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. Equipment has to be stripped down, packed and protected from the force of the storm, and then has to be reassembled and deployed again, she said.
New coverage for uninsured people in poor health WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is launching a special coverage program for uninsured Americans with medical problems this week, the most ambitious early investment of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. But here’s the catch: Premiums will be a stretch for many, even after government subsidies to bring rates close to what healthier groups of people are charged. And $5 billion that Congress allocated to the program through 2013 could run out well before that. The Pre-Existing Condition
Study clears road reconstruction in Smokies GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) — A finding of no significant effect on the environment has cleared the way to rebuild the Tennessee portion of the major road over the Smoky Mountains. Newfound Gap Road, which is also U.S. 441, runs through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park from Gatlinburg in Tennessee to Cherokee in North Carolina. “This action is needed to address the deterioration of the pavement, safety concerns, and rehabilitation of the historic cut stone guardwalls, most of which were constructed about 70 years ago by the Civilian Conservation Corps,” said Dale Ditmanson, superintendent of the 500,000-acre park on the Tennessee-North Carolina state line. The National Park Service said Tuesday that its final environmental impact report shows the project has no significant effect on natural or cultural resources of the park.

NEW YORK (AP) — No matter where they look, investors are seeing economic trouble. Stocks and interest rates plunged Tuesday after signs of slowing economies from China to the U.S. spooked traders who were already uneasy about a global recovery. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 268 points, or 2.7 percent, and dropped below 10,000. The benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 3.1 percent to close at its lowest level since October. Interest rates fell in the Treasury market after demand for the safety of government debt grew. The yield on the 10-year note dropped to 2.95 percent, the first time it has fallen below 3 percent since April 2009, when the markets were in the early stages of their recovery from the financial crisis. The yield is used as a benchmark for many consumer loans and mortgages.
Insurance Plan will begin accepting applications in many states on Thursday, with coverage available as early as Aug. 1, an administration official said Tuesday. Consumers can check availability in their states on a new website, healthcare.gov, starting Thursday. The goal is for all states to be enrolling people by the end of the summer. “I would enroll as soon as you can,” said Stephen Finan, policy director for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. “These rates are going to be as affordable as consumers can get these days, particularly for a high-risk individual.”

CBS TO TELEVISE DUKEUNC IN PRIME TIME CHAPEL HILL (AP) — The second Duke-North Carolina men’s basketball game of the upcoming season is headed to prime time. Officials with the Atlantic Coast Conference and Duke said Tuesday that the Blue Devils’ visit to Chapel Hill will be televised by CBS, marking the first time that the fierce rivalry will air in prime time on one of the over-the-air networks. The game will start at 8 p.m. on March 5, 2011. Duke won both meetings last season and went on to claim its fourth national championship. Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski calls it an honor for the Duke-North Carolina game to be placed on that stage and says “hopefully the game will live up to that level of expectation.”
MLB ZUMAYA OUT FOR SEASON FOR 1ST-PLACE TIGERS
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Detroit Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya is gone for the rest of the season with a fractured right elbow. Team doctors, however, remain optimistic he could return to the mound next year. Zumaya says he thought his career was over immediately after throwing his final pitch Monday night. He says it felt like his elbow exploded. The Tigers say the diagnosis is “the best bad news you can get.” The fracture will take about four months to heal, but there is no ligament damage in the elbow.

More success for Jackets By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com
SANFORD — After seven games of Central Carolina Scholastic Summer League play, the Lee County Yellow Jackets have found themselves in a pretty good spot. The Yellow Jackets, fresh off a spring where they qualified for the 4-A East playoffs on the very last day of the season and
had a magical run all the way to the regional final, are currently 6-1 so far this summer and are in a tie for first place in the Central division with FuquayVarina. “We’ve been hitting the ball very well,” said Lee County assistant coach Neil Rosser. “The one game we’ve lost, we just didn’t play fundamentally sound like we’ve been doing.
We’ve been getting the timely hits that we need and we’ve been getting good, quality pitching. Everything has been going pretty well for us.” Lee County, which was just two innings away from going to the state championship in the spring, was scheduled to battle Triton on Tuesday night,

SOCCER
NEW YORK (AP) — Soccer either needs more referees or instant replay, Landon Donovan told David Letterman on Tuesday night. The U.S. soccer star appeared on the “Late Show” on CBS after returning from the World Cup, where the Americans won their group for the first time in 80 years. The United States was twice the victim of the disputed calls that have plagued the tournament, as the team had goals disallowed. “It’s difficult because we know how fast the game is, and as a referee, you can’t see everything,” Donovan said. “So you either need more eyes on the field or you need some sort of instant replay.” Donovan said it’s frustrating “to put that much into something you’re doing, and then all of a sudden, it’s taken away from you.”

Then, thud. O’Neal was traded in February 2008, Miami was the NBA’s worst team and Riley quickly realized the bloated contracts the Heat had to accept in exchange for shipping Shaq elsewhere would keep his team from having real money to spend until 2010.
RALEIGH — Sidney Lowe knows that North Carolina State fans are already eager to see the Wolfpack return to the court with a mix of veterans and fresh talent. The coach also knows those same fans won’t be very patient if things go wrong. “I like the fact our fans are excited,” Lowe said Tuesday during Lowe his annual summer news conference. “I’ve been wanting them to be excited and I know they’re saying, ’We’ve been wanting to be excited as well.’ I think it’s a good marriage right there. ... This is the way it’s supposed to be.” Preseason practices are four months away in what could be the decisive months of Lowe’s tenure with the program he helped lead to a national championship as a player. Fans have sat through four seasons of a few ups and many more downs while Lowe wrestled with getting the program back to the NCAA tournament — a place it had been five straight years before Lowe’s arrival.

Instead, that’s when Riley got Shaquille O’Neal to sign a $100 million, fiveyear contract. A championship followed the very next season. Riley believed another NBA dynasty was on the way.

What has happened to Ford? GOLF
A
s most of you loyal readers have known for a while, I am happily employed with a local Ford dealer. I can’t name the exact location due to advertising fees, but let’s just say it is in Chatham County and not in Pittsboro. How was that? We are thrilled with the product that Ford is producing. The new Taurus, the utility van called TransConnect, and how about the latest vehicle, the new Ford Fiesta? All of these are follow-ups to the Fusion and the Edge. Ford has a lot to be proud of and it shows in their craftsmanship and design. Now if they could just get something stirred up in NASCAR. What has happened to Ford? They have not won a race this year, and with the exception of Kasey Kahne having a few nice runs lately, they haven’t been competitive. The bad part about that is that Kahne is even switching makes next year. Is it the COT? Is it the spoiler? Is it the power or handling? I don’t think it is either of the first two because all of the cars are basically alike. So I guess it is the engine and the handling. I used to read stories about Jack Roush and how he would have hot lines with his engine shops so in case he had a brainstorm or a question during the middle of the night he could pick up a phone and make a direct call to the shop. If that was the case then he probably has had some
Lynn Gaines In The Draft E-mail Gaines at lynnsue@ embarqmail.com
sleepless nights this year. Or the costs of him calling constantly have risen so much he backed off. Ford has been nothing short of a huge disappointment this year. It seems like 10 years ago that a Roush driver won a title. Now don’t get smart with me because I know that because of Jimmie Johnson, no one else has won either, but that is not what I’m saying. Be competitive and we the Ford fans will be happier. Every week Carl Edwards appears to be just riding around. Matt Kenseth can’t find his way into the top 10 on a consistent basis and poor Greg Biffle finds trouble in every race. Forget David Ragan. He gets the leftovers at Roush, and believe me, there ain’t much left over. And it isn’t just the Roush cars. They just are suppose to be the best. Why can’t Roush Yates engines perform like the others? They have started trying to run a new engine, which is supposed to help get them back into contention. But thus far I haven’t seen any change. Things were looking up in New Hampshire until
Kahne dropped a cylinder, which ultimately led to his car blowing up. It appeared that he had the dominant car until then. That was a first for Ford this year. I don’t recall saying that too much. I have wondered if it is the setups they are using or maybe they just don’t have the personnel that the other teams have. Whatever the reason, they need to get something going. There are some Fords in the Chase as of right now, but if they stay there and make the Chase then you can go ahead and count them out. I guess all of this makes NASCAR happy. I don’t think they ever really liked Jack Roush anyway, and as long as he doesn’t win, all is well. They changed rules when his car has won a title and then when he had five teams, they changed that rule, too. I really think that when NASCAR did away with testing, they did away with Roush’s advantage. He was able to spend a lot of money other teams didn’t have in order to do a lot of tests. And with five teams he tested more than others. That is probably where the downfall of the Ford started. Now one thing I haven’t mentioned is that we sell Dodge as well. Now they aren’t doing quite as much in the way of redesign yet but, Kurt Busch sure has helped get them back into the picture. Wow! He has been awfully strong at every track this year. He has been very consistent and he has done Dodge proud. He is also making Fiat proud, too! I wonder if anyone in Fiat
as ever heard of NASCAR? All they probably know is the French word for caution: debris. Back to Kurt — didn’t he win a championship in a Ford? A quick note before I close this week. A few weeks ago I addressed the inductees into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Surprisingly I didn’t get any hate mail or e-mails, so I guess everyone was OK with my opinion. Well, this week I got a good e-mail from Jon Woolard and he has a wonderful idea. Local great Herb Thomas needs to go in next. Here is his reasoning and I think he is right. Thomas stands 13th on the career victory list with 48 wins. Richard Petty, Junior Johnson and Dale Earnhardt are already in. Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson aren’t eligible and Rusty Wallace and Darrell Waltrip, well, it’s just too soon. That leaves David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Cale Yarborough, Lee Petty, Ned Jarrett and Thomas as stock racing’s winningest drivers. The fact that stands out in Thomas’ favor is that he accomplished his record in only six years. It took Johnson 12 years to get to 50 and Ned Jarrett eight years. I know my writing doesn’t carry a lot of clout, but maybe if enough people from the Sanford and surrounding area could start a “Put Herb in the HOF” campaign going. I think that would be a great way for me to retire this year. I know a lot of people are ready to aid in this deserving cause.
Grennsboro preparing for U.S. Amateur Publinx
GREENSBORO (AP) — The players at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship will face quite a test of their driving skills. Tournament officials said Tuesday that at 7,218 yards, the Champions Course at Bryan Park in Greensboro will be the second-longest course in the event’s 85-year history. “It’s a long, strong, big golf course, and when we first started having conversations with them, the very first thing that struck me was the strength of the golf course,” USGA spokesman Bill McCarthy said. He added that the evaluation process included “how the course would play pretty much as-is, and how it would challenge the elite amateur player. Bryan Park right away did that.” Sanford’s Jonathan McCurry recently qualified on the third playoff hole to play in the Public Links Championship. The Publinx begins July 12 with 156 golfers competing in two days of stroke play to cut the field to 64. Then comes four days of match play, capped by a 36-hole final on July 17.

some feathers and make some mistakes,” Gordon said. The four-time champion insisted that when he does err, he’ll admit it and apologize. Gordon had said he was sorry after spinning Martin Truex Jr. at Sonoma on June 20. Truex was running inside the top 10 before Gordon caused him to drop back into traffic, where he was caught in a multi-car accident. Gordon hasn’t been as contrite after some other dustups he clearly views differently. He also angered Elliott Sadler, Kurt Busch and Greg Biffle at Sonoma. Last weekend at New Hampshire, he got caught up with Juan Pablo Montoya, who fell back and was plowed by Reed Sorenson. Montoya accused Gordon of not giving him any room. “I’ve never been buddies or friends with everyone on the track,” Gordon said. “But I also don’t create enemies.” Gordon said that from double-file restarts to the competition to make the Chase, cars are racing closer and drivers are pushing limits. He suggested he’ll vary his aggressiveness depend-
ing on other drivers’ styles, saying “some guys push it further than other guys.” And he’ll drive differently early in a race than late. “When the race is winding down, there’s less chance to be the nice guy,” he said. Gordon was fully in nice-guy mode Tuesday at an event sponsored by the March of Dimes and vaccine-maker Sanofi Pasteur, encouraging adults to be vaccinated against whooping cough to prevent the spread of the disease to infants.
NASCAR suspends RPM crewman for failing drug test CHARLOTTE (AP) — NASCAR has suspended the gasman for AJ Allmendinger’s Sprint Cup team for violating the sport’s substance abuse policy. Richard Petty Motorsports says it in turn released Chris Moore from the organization. Moore was suspended indefinitely Tuesday by NASCAR. Moore failed a random drug test given two weeks ago at Infineon Raceway.
Sports Venus stunned at Wimbledon
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Venus Williams would shank a shot — and she shanked many on this day — then turn toward the Court 1 player guest box where her parents were seated and put her palms up or shrug her shoulders, as if to indicate, “I don’t know what’s happening here.” The five-time Wimbledon champion was out of sorts, out of answers and out of the tournament in the quarterfinals, stunned 6-2, 63 Tuesday by the lowestranked woman left, No. 82 Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria, meaning there won’t be an all-Williams title match this year. Williams doublefaulted five times and totaled 29 unforced errors, 23 more than her solid-if-not-spectacular opponent. “Didn’t do myself any favors,” said the No. 2seeded Williams, whose younger sister, No. 1 Serena, won Tuesday to reach the semifinals. “I missed all shots today: forehand, volley, backhand. You know, if there was a shot to miss, I think I missed it.” It was the older Williams’ 77th career singles match at the All England Club — she participated in eight of the past 10 finals, losing to her sister three times, including in 2009 — and never had she won so few games. The only time she’s been beaten at Wimbledon by someone ranked lower than Pironkova was all the way back on June 28, 1997, when the American lost her tournament debut to No. 91 Magdalena Grzybowska. Really, the only factor preventing this result from truly being considered one of the biggest upsets in tennis history is that Pironkova actually managed to do this before: She defeated Williams at the 2006 Australian Open.

AP source: Cavs have not offered job to Brian Shaw
AP photo
In this May 13 file photo, Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James walks to the bench during a timeout late in the fourth quarter against the Boston Celtics in Game 6 in a second-round NBA basketball playoff series in Boston.
LeBron must decide if it’s time to leave home CLEVELAND (AP) — As he dressed in his spacious corner locker, LeBron James glanced over at the news scrolling across the flat-screen TV on the far wall. The ticker read: “NBA: Kobe Bryant signs three-year contract extension with Los Angeles Lakers.” Buttoning his shirt following the game in April, roughly one month before his quest for a championship would end awkwardly and two months before becoming The Free Agent Of All Free Agents, James wasn’t a bit surprised. “Did anyone really think he was leaving?” he asked incredulously. “Kobe’s been there since he was like 17. That’s his home. He wasn’t going anywhere.”
Depending on whom you believe, the soon-tobe No. 6 is either headed to New York to resurrect the sorry Knicks; or to New Jersey to plot global domination with rap mogul pal Jay-Z and Russian billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov; or to Chicago to follow Michael Jordan’s magnificence; or to Miami to join Olympic teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in a terrifying trifecta; or to Dallas where he could play with buddy Jason Kidd and watch his beloved Cowboys all the time. Or, he’ll stay in Ohio, kick back in the 40,000square-foot palace he built not far from the Akron streets where he was raised and continue to play for the Cavaliers.
Hmm. Sound like someone you know, ’Bron? The league’s MVP grinned and bit his top lip. Not saying. Soon enough, we’ll have his answer. At the heart of James’ impending free agency, a moment of controlled chaos hyped beyond anything in recent sports memory, is one underlying question: Can he move away from the only place he has ever known? James hits the market at 12:01 a.m. Thursday as the valedictorian of this historic 2010 free-agent class. He might have already decided where he’ll dribble, drive and dunk next. Even if he has, he’s still going to listen to offers and can’t sign with anyone until July 8.
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers are closing in on a coach. Los Angeles Lakers assistant Brian Shaw completed two days of meetings with the Cavs, who have not yet offered him — or anyone else — a contract to replace Mike Brown as their coach, a person familiar with Cleveland’s search told The Associated Press. The team is “not negotiating” but has narrowed its field of candidates to “two or three,” said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the club is not publicly discussing its coaching situation. The person said the team is “excited” to be nearing a decision on a coach but will not be making any announcements on Tuesday — two days before it attempts to re-sign free agent superstar LeBron James. Shaw appears to be the front-runner.
C Yao Ming coming back to Rockets, foot healed HOUSTON (AP) — Yao Ming is returning to the Houston Rockets — a giant selling point for general manager Daryl Morey as he begins courting big-name free agents this week. The 7-foot-6 All-Star center said Tuesday that he has picked up his player option for next season, the last year of his five-year contract. Yao sat out last season following reconstructive foot surgery and said he wanted to see how the injury healed before making his decision. Yao said he’s resumed basketball activities and should be 100 percent when training camp begins. “To miss one year is a long time,” Yao said. “I’ve never been in this situation before, and I’m getting as much information as I can about my foot, to see
what’s the best for me and best for the Rockets. I decided a couple of days ago, and there’s no one better than the Rockets now.”
Source: Mavs’ star Nowitzki to test free agency
DALLAS (AP) — Add Dirk Nowitzki to the bumper crop of talented free agents. A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press that Nowitzki has notified the Dallas Mavericks he is opting out of the final year and $21.5 million on his existing contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team wasn’t planning to announce Nowitzki’s decision. Mavericks president Donnie Nelson already has booked a flight that will have him overseas at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday — or, 6:01 a.m. in Germany. He wants to be there when the free agency signing window opens to show how sincere the team is about keeping its all-time leading scorer and rebounder.
Nets trade Yi to Wizards, clearing more cap room EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The New Jersey Nets traded forward Yi Jianlian to the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, creating even more room under the salary cap as they head into free agency. The Wizards dealt forward Quinton Ross to the Nets, who also sent an undisclosed amount of cash to Washington. The Nets freed up another $3 million with the deal, leaving them about $30 million to spend once free agency opens on July 1. It was the second time in less than a week the Wizards helped a team in the LeBron James chase. The Chicago Bulls added to their cap space on draft night when they traded guard Kirk Hinrich to Washington.

South American sweep at World Cup possible
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A final four fiesta at the World Cup. Why not? The first South American semifinal sweep could unfold if Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay all win their quarterfinals. European powers Spain, Germany and Netherlands and lone African survivor Ghana are out to make sure that doesn’t happen. Four multiple World Cup winners and four who have never captured the title made it to the quarterfinals, with two matchups — Argentina-Germany and Netherlands-Brazil — worthy of the final itself. In the other quarterfinals, two-time World Cup winner Uruguay faces Ghana and Paraguay takes on European champion Spain. Argentina and Germany met in back-to-back finals in 1986 and ’90, and the common denominator is Diego Maradona, who played in each final and now coaches the South American team. “I feel like pulling on the jersey and playing myself, it is beautiful to be involved with this group of players. I feel proud to share these moments with them,” said Maradona, whose ability as a coach was put into doubt by some poor performances in qualifying. “They said I had no idea about how to coach, but

suddenly I am winning matches and I am still the same guy,” Maradona said. Germany ousted Argentina in the quarterfinals at the last World Cup, winning a penalty kicks shootout after a 1-1 draw in Berlin. A three-time champion, Germany got to the last eight by outplaying England 4-1 and also put four past Australia in a group game. A win over Argentina could set up a rematch with Spain, which beat the Germans in the Euro 2008 final. Spain defeated neighbor Portugal 1-0 on Tuesday to set up a quarterfinal meeting with Paraguay at Johannesburg’s Ellis Park on Saturday.

Woods seeking momentum
NEWTON SQUARE, Pa. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The most obvious change at the AT&T National is moving to Aronimink Golf Club, a tree-lined classic in the Philadelphia suburbs that will host the tournament the next two years as Congressional prepares for a U.S. Open. Not so obvious is the role Tiger Woods is playing this week. He is still the defending champion. He is no longer the host. AT&T was the second corporate sponsor to end its endorsement deal with the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 player, although not entirely. It agreed to remain as title sponsor of the tournament, which Woods has hosted since it began in 2007. And the net proceeds continue to benefit the Tiger Woods Foundation, which is building a second learning center in the United States. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awkward relationship. Woods no longer carries the AT&T logo on his golf bag, and he is not likely to return to AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. But he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at this event any differently than when he was handing out the trophy.
LeBron Continued from Page 1B
At long last, that time has arrived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So here we are,â&#x20AC;? Riley said. Yes, and that dynasty Riley envisioned four years ago might still be born. Dwyane Wade wants to stay in Miami. He wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind having LeBron James join him. Or Chris Bosh. Or both, for that matter. And if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one team in the NBA that has the financial ability to get three of the top five picks in the 2003 draft together for the next few years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely going to be Miami. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a heck of a fantasy basketball lineup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wade, James and Bosh. Yet in the summer of 2010, fantasy could actually become reality.

but the rain forced the game to be postponed. It has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday in Erwin. In a recent game against Middle Creek, the Yellow Jackets trailed 5-4 in the bottom of the seventh before tying the game up and eventually winning it thanks to an RBI double from Tyler Castleberry. The Yellow Jackets won 6-5 and improved to 3-0 in CCSSL play. Coming from behind has been a consistent theme for the Yellow Jackets this summer. Against Northwest Guilford in the CCSSL season opener, the Yellow Jackets rallied from an early deficit to win the game 3-2 in extra innings. They also rallied from five runs down to beat Knightdale 10-6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the games weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played have been pretty close,â&#x20AC;? said Rosser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it shows the kind of fight and will that this team has. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the determination to battle
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still be part of the event and working hard behind the scenes as always,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great event for our foundation. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very lucky and very excited that AT&T wanted to still be a part of this event.â&#x20AC;? The tournament stays. His endorsement ends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have one over the other, you choose it this way,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. He also dismissed any notion that Woods and his caddie, Steve Williams, are at odds. There was speculation in some corners after the U.S. Open that Woods was unhappy with his caddie when he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made three mental mistakes. The only thing it cost us was a chance to win the U.S. Open.â&#x20AC;? Woods and Williams have worked together since 1999, with the most famous blowup coming in the final round of the 2003 Masters when Williams recommended a driver off the par-4 third hole. Woods hit into the trees, had to play a left-handed shot to the fairway and the two rarely spoke the rest of the day.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will be equivalent to a space shuttle launch,â&#x20AC;? Riley said back in May, shortly after the season ended and the Heat summer of 2010 began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s covering the day itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get launched, you never know it is until they hit the button. When they hit the button, a lot of things explode down underneath to lift the rocket up.â&#x20AC;? Get ready for some explosions, the first wave of which has already arrived. Henry Thomas, Wadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent, said Tuesday the 2006 finals MVP has talked with both James and Bosh (whom Thomas also represents) in recent days, though denied an ESPN report that the trio met this past weekend in Miami, noting that Wade was in Chicago for meetings and taking his sons to a White Sox-Cubs game, while

The Yellow Jackets have been playing this summer without eight seniors, who recently graduated. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also been playing without ace Dillon Frye, who was a big piece behind the Yellow Jacketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; run through the playoffs, getting wins against Millbrook, Richmond County, Apex and Laney. Frye is playing American Legion baseball this summer. Also missing are Julio Paredes and Carson Wilson, who both had homers in the East Regional Final series against Laney. Paredes is spending the summer in New York visiting family and playing baseball. Wilson, like Frye, is also playing Legion ball. Filling those voids for the summer team have been veterans like Castleberry and Alex Furl, who both also had big parts in

Getting there could be the first sign that Lowe really does have some staying power in Raleigh. Falling short could leave Lowe without a job. Yet Lowe sounds like he feels more excitement than pressure when asked about the coming season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly excited about the possibilities,â&#x20AC;? Lowe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pressure, we put on ourselves anyway. I think certainly the expectations are higher here, but we still just have to go out and approach it the same way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;OK, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to work harder now.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lowe is at least well-positioned for a possible make-or-break season. He has his most talented roster by far during his time at N.C. State, starting with a returning All-Atlantic Coast Conference performer in Tracy Smith. He has experienced upperclassmen in Javi Gonzalez and C.J. Williams, talented returning sophomores in Scott Wood and Richard Howell, and a recruiting class ranked
Bosh vacationed in South Florida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My guys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said in a telephone interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think LeBron does either. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all speculation. Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just speculating.â&#x20AC;? Wade plans to listen to suitors, a list expected to include New York, New Jersey, Chicago and possibly Dallas, although none of those teams could make the same offer as Miami. With a league-high $43.3 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not counting what Wade would make next season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in salary cap room, the Heat are in a stronger position than anyone when the free agency shopping window finally opens at 12:01 a.m. Thursday. Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first priority is keeping Wade, who wants to stay and even though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to meet with several teams, it
guiding the Yellow Jackets through the playoffs. Furl, who had 27 RBI, is currently 11-for-21 at the plate in six games this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those two can hit the ball,â&#x20AC;? said Rosser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever we need timely hits or whenever we need to get something going offensively, it always seems like one of them sparks us.â&#x20AC;? Also back from injury is Neal Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Quinn, who before a back injury in the middle of the spring, hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t committed an error all season. The injury forced Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Quinn to see limited action in the final games of the regular season and in the playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad to have Neal back,â&#x20AC;? said Rosser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing an excellent job at second base for us, too. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not getting the hits heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking for, but he is getting his swing back. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a matter of time before he has a breakout game for us at the plate.â&#x20AC;? Also emerging are newcomers Alex Mercer and Jacob Pedley. Mercer,
fifth nationally by Scout.com. That class includes three five-star prospects led by big man C.J. Leslie, who spurned a late pursuit by Kentucky, among others. Point guard Ryan Harrow and wing guard Lorenzo Brown, who played in prep school last year due to academics, will give the Wolfpack some perimeter scoring punch and depth N.C. State hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had under Lowe. Lowe says the Wolfpack will be able to play different combinations together and be two-deep at nearly every spot. He says he expects the freshmen to contribute immediately â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to give them all they can handle,â&#x20AC;? he said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but that they will have the luxury of filling supporting roles as opposed to trying to be leaders on a group that showed promise in its late-season push that reached the ACC tournament semifinals followed by the NIT. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be a problem as far as chemistry is concerned,â&#x20AC;? Lowe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These (freshmen), Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a chance to recruit these guys and watch these guys and get to know them when they were younger. I know their character. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come in and fit right in with the guys we have.â&#x20AC;?
would be a shocker if he left South Florida. If Wade re-signs, Miami would still have about $27 million left to court others. And Wade has been letting certain guys know that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like them as teammates. Let the games begin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at it as recruiting,â&#x20AC;? Wade told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at it as gauging, conversation between guys to see what they like. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting together saying â&#x20AC;&#x2122;You go here, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go here and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet in the conference finals.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like that. You do conversations to see what a guy is thinking. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a free agent and want to know what Miami can do for them, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gauge them in conversation.â&#x20AC;? What Miami will start doing Thursday is a rarity. When that clock hits 12:01, the
who saw some time as a pinch runner during the spring, is replacing departing senior Zach Bradfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as the leadoff man. Pedley has also made some pivotal plays in right field. On the mound, the Yellow Jackets have welcomed back rising junior Nick Durazo, who also had a significant role in getting Lee County to the East Regional Final with a third-round win over Broughton. Durazo was gone for much of the summer playing in the Amateur Sports State Games of North Carolina. In his first significant action of the summer, Durazo threw a complete game against Harnett Central, pacing the Yellow Jackets to a 3-1 victory. In the season opener against Northwest Guilford, Durazo threw just one inning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a good group of guys that know how to win and want to win,â&#x20AC;? said Rosser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys have been hitting the
Heat could have only two players under contract. Every deal Riley has struck for the last few years has been with this day in mind, not wanting to take on any contract that would keep him from digging as deeply as possible in owner Micky Arisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pockets this summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been in this for two years,â&#x20AC;? Riley said. Unlike other teams with cap space, Miami can offer the likes of James and Bosh the chance to play with a former NBA finals MVP, assuming Wade wants to stick around. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no state income tax in Florida, so millions more would stay in a free agentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bank account. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lure of Riley, who even though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retired from coaching still has an exalted reputation among many players.

The Yellow Jackets will battle Triton tonight and will play their third straight road game on Thursday at Northwest Guilford. Lee County will not return home until
Monday when it battles Fuquay-Varina in a game that could determine sole possession of first place in the division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to keep hitting the ball and keep playing well,â&#x20AC;? said Rosser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team believes in itself and they believe in each other.

Some patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; malocclusions develop on only one side as a result of asymmetry of the teeth and/or jaws. This uneven effect may be due to lost or undeveloped teeth on one side of the dental arch. More rarely, the problem results from uneven growth of the facial bones. Asymmetry is often accompanied by a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lateral crossbite,â&#x20AC;? in which some of the teeth of the lower jaw close outside (or across) the upper teeth. This malocclusion occurs as the lower jaw shifts from side to side, trying to accommodate the mismatch of the upper jaw. If your child suffers from dental asymmetry, an orthodontist can advise you of the best course of action to correct the condition. At SANDHILLS ORTHODONTICS, we recognize that every patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs are different and pride ourselves on the courteous service we deliver to each patient who walks through our doors. We invite you to call us today at (919)718-9188 to schedule a free consultation. Our ofďŹ ce is located at 1129 Carthage Street. Committed to helping you achieve the smile you deserve - a healthy, beautiful one! P.S. When â&#x20AC;&#x153;babyâ&#x20AC;? teeth are retained so long that permanent teeth come in behind them in the upper jaw, the permanent top front teeth may take their places behind the lower front teeth upon biting.

Happy Birthday: You need a new direction to help you bring order back into your life. Don’t shy away from the unknown. Responsibilities may mount this year but they will also teach you a valuable lesson that will help you for years to come. Follow your heart. Your numbers are 2, 12, 16, 22, 28, 33, 49 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Problems with institutions will prevail if you haven’t done everything according to the rules. Don’t let changes you cannot prevent unravel you. Just figure out how to make the alterations and challenges in your life work to your advantage. 4 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t give in to anyone giving you an ultimatum. Stick to the people you know best and the places that bring you the most enjoyment. A job that you take responsibility for will be challenging. 2 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take everything you have experienced and learned in the past and utilize it to generate added income. A hobby, skill or talent may be worth more than you realize. Don’t take a pass on something that may seem trivial at the time. 5 stars CANCER (June 21-July 22): The more you can do on your own, the better control you will have over your situation. Added responsibilities are apparent and should be dealt with consistently or you may be accused of favoritism. Don’t let love cost you your reputation. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let your emotions cost you. As soon as you are deceptive or refuse to see things the way they really are, you can expect to lose. Open communication is the only way to get what you want. Love is in the stars and can conquer all if handled right. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you have a talent or skill, put a price tag on it. An unusual sideline can be the determining factor between just making your monthly

expenses and having a little left over for entertainment. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Find out what you can about a procedure that will add to your confidence or help you change something about which you are selfconscious. The funds to pay for what you are planning may not be readily available but, with a tight budget and extra jobs, you can move forward. 5 stars SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Deception is apparent when it comes to dealing with partners or with creative work that you share with someone. If you haven’t laid down some ground rules, do so before it’s too late. Don’t lose someone or something because you didn’t speak up. 2 stars SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Don’t send the wrong signal. Love and romance appear to be muddling your train of thought. Be responsible if you want to avoid having to live up to a promise that is costly emotionally and financially. 4 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Joint ventures may be enticing but, before you venture down that path, find out what everyone has to offer and don’t exceed that amount. A partnership is likely to turn into a burden you can do without. 3 stars AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may be scared and emotionally up and down about your current situation. Embrace what you are heading into with a positive attitude and you will get something out of the experience. 3 stars PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Secrets must be kept that way. If you share with someone you work with, eventually what you are hiding will surface.

You are responsible and caring and use whatever means you have to get your way.
DEAR ABBY: I know some people are obsessed with hoarding things. Is it possible to have an obsession about throwing things away? My mother seems bent on removing every item from our home. Every time I went away as a kid, boxes of books and toys would disappear from my room. I resorted to hiding things I wanted to keep. Since I have left for college, 90 percent of my belongings have been thrown out or given to Goodwill. She even gave away two dolls I have had since I was a baby and which were of great sentimental value to me. Mother was well aware of it. She recently became adamant that I get rid of some dresses and a pair of winter boots to “prepare for the change in seasons.” Abby, the boots were less than six months old, and the dress was brand-new! Could she have a serious problem? — EMILY IN ATLANTA DEAR EMILY: Yes, but it’s not what you think. It appears your mother regards you not as an individual, but as an extension of herself. Therefore, in her mind what is yours is really hers to do with as she wishes. She should not be giving away your possessions unless it’s by mutual consent. And yes, it is a serious problem because it will negatively affect your relationship in the future, if it hasn’t already.

I’m not wild about cats, but I knew she’d be pleased. Big mistake! Susan is constantly doting on her “babies” (as she calls them). Her time is spent brushing them, talking to them, playing with them and photographing them. When we do have a little feline-free time, it’s spent talking about them.

Cedar Rapids Police Chief Greg Graham says six officers have been issued letters of discipline because they didn’t have their patrol car’s lights and sirens operating when they were speeding to a call. He says five were not violations and that the remaining 15 instances are under review. Cedar Rapids police also have notified Marion police and the Linn County sheriff’s office of possible violations by their personnel, and are investigating infractions by city buses and a garbage truck.

Cast your worries upon Christ Q: My husband retired a couple of years ago, and now all he does is worry about his health. He only has a few minor problems (like anyone his age) but all he can think about is how he might become disabled some day, and things like that. How can I change this? — Mrs. Q.R. A: It’s not wrong to take care of ourselves and live a healthy lifestyle -- not at all. God gave our bodies to us, and He wants us to take care of them -- not just so we’ll enjoy a longer life, but so we can serve Him more effectively. But it’s wrong to be so concerned about our health that it becomes an obsession and is all we think about. And this can happen to people of any age, not just older people. Why is it wrong? One reason is because constant worry can actually make our health worse. Stress and constant anxiety eventually take a toll on our bodies -- as modern science has confirmed. Job declared, “Fear and trembling seized me and made all my bones shake” (Job 4:14). It’s wrong too because it means we aren’t trusting God for the future. It may even be an indication that we’re worried about what will happen to us after we die, because we don’t have any assurance of our salvation. Urge your husband to put his life into Christ’s hands, and to trust Him for the future. The Bible says, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). When we realize how much God loves us, our worries will begin to fade. In addition, encourage your husband to develop some new interests, such as volunteering to help others through your church.

29 times a bridesmaid, finally a bride
DALLAS (AP) — After walking down the aisle 29 times as a bridesmaid, it wasn’t until Julie Caldwell was moments away from the church that it sank in that she was finally the bride. “I didn’t get nervous till the ride to the church. It was like, ’Whoa, this is me,”’ said Caldwell, 39. A delayed reaction at her December wedding could be forgiven for the woman much more versed in playing the supportive role in the wedding party. Caldwell did “27 Dresses” a couple better, and her story ended up on the WE television reality show “Girl Meets Gown.” The Dallas pharmacist who lives in nearby Ennis calls being a bridemaid “my other career.” Most women end up being a bridesmaid about five times, said Rebecca Dolgin, executive editor of TheKnot.com, who adds that women in the South tend to do a few more stints since wedding parties there are usually bigger. Caldwell said her vast experience as a bridesmaid led her to be sure to not be too demanding as a bride with her three bridesmaids — no requests for matching shoes and jewelry. “When somebody is a bridesmaid many times — four or five or six times — it really does affect their decisions when they’re a bride,” Dolgin said. After being in that many weddings, she also didn’t shy away from creating the exact dress she wanted. “I don’t know which is stronger, the fact that they’ve seen that many wedding gowns, or seen mistakes,” said Jenny Cline,

Julie Caldwell, 39, holds her former bridesmaid dresses as her wedding dress is shown in the foreground at her home in Ennis, Texas. Caldwell, had been a bridesmaid 29 times before she got married in December of 2009. co-owner of Plano’s Stardust Celebrations, where Caldwell bought her gown. It was at Cline’s salon that “Girl Meets Gown” was filmed, and an episode featured Caldwell’s mission to make her strapless gown more unique with beading and a flourish of feathers on the skirt. Even brides without a record close to Caldwell’s said they thought a lot about their times as bridesmaids when they planned their own weddings. When Lisa Pratt, a seven-times bridesmaid from Westminster, Md., got married in the fall, the 39year-old business analyst’s thoughts went to the
money she’d spent on travel and hotels as a bridesmaid. So she decided to pay for her bridesmaids to stay at the wedding’s venue the night before and after. She was also inspired to get small bouquets after struggling to hold both her own large bouquet and the bride’s during one ceremony. Sara Ross, of Nashville, Tenn., said that her seven times as a bridesmaid led her to first think of the bridesmaid dresses for her own wedding, choosing strapless knee-length dresses in purple for her six girls even before figuring out her own gown for her upcoming wedding. First on the
priority list for bridesmaids dresses: Eliminate anything shiny. After figuring out that the cost of being in two weddings and attending a third constituted a down payment on a car, she’s also vowed to let her bridesmaids know that she won’t be upset if they can’t travel to every pre-wedding event. To that end, she’ll probably have a bachelorette party and shower on the same weekend in a town close for a majority of the girls. “I’m not going to make anyone do something they can’t afford,” said Ross, 28, who works for a graphics company. Many women can
relate to Caldwell’s manytimes-a-bridesmaid story, though “maybe not to that extreme,” says Annabelle McDonald, executive producer at WE. Caldwell’s entry into the world of weddings had an inauspicious start when she learned at the age of about 3 that she wouldn’t be in her aunt’s wedding. “The day before, they broke it to me and I was just destroyed — that was the last time that there was a wedding that I wasn’t in,” she said. As a young girl she went on to perform various wedding roles. Then, she said, came the “waves” of bridesmaid stints — high school
friends, college friends, then those she met as she pursued her career. As a redhead, she said, the worst was when she was asked to wear clashing pink. She has never added up the cost of being a bridesmaid 29 times, and said that while the role can be demanding, she enjoyed each time. Hilary LiDestri, Caldwell’s friend for 15 years, said she wasn’t shocked that Caldwell ended up in so many weddings. LiDestri chose her as her only bridemaid. “I tell her all the time that’s a measure of how good a friend she is,” LiDestri said. Caldwell said there came a point after being in wedding after wedding that she began to wonder when she would meet the right man. It didn’t help when people started commenting on her string of bridesmaid stints. “I always had to hear the adage over and over again, ’always a bridesmaid,”’ Caldwell said. When she did begin her courtship with her future husband, it all came together quickly: They dated for four weeks before getting engaged the last week of June last year. Caldwell ended up dressing LiDestri, her matron of honor, in burnt orange and her other two bridesmaids in chocolate brown. “I wanted them to have a dress they’d wear again,” Caldwell said, quickly adding, “All brides say that.” And as Caldwell knows well, it rarely happens. “I’ve never, never put them on again,” she said.

The idea turned out to be the easy part. Finding the right formula was a little more challenging. Foster and Scotti MacDonald, another partner, said the current formula took 48 tries, and some of the first 47 attempts were downright disgusting. “Definitely the first few times we had our heave bucket close by,” MacDonald said. “It was pretty bad, and you know, greasy.” “But once we got it down and honed in on where the real secret was in making this, it was fun and games after that,” she said.

selling spirits category in the country, and in the last five or six years, flavored vodkas have been taking off, said Danielle Eddy, spokeswoman for the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. Fruit flavors were first, followed by vegetables and herbs — even a Russian garlic vodka. “In the past few months, Bakon Vodka came out on the market. However, smoked salmon vodka is the most unique that we’ve heard of,” Eddy said by cell phone from Scotland, where she was attending an industry event. “Bacon does lend a nice umami flavor, it’s that richness,” she said. “Smoked salmon is going to add that same type of richness, but from a lighter perspective.” The five-year-old Alaska Distillery uses all Alaska products when it can: grain from Delta Junction, potatoes from the Matanuska-Susitna valley, glacier ice from Prince William Sound, and now salmon caught in the Gulf of Alaska. The key to the newest vodka’s flavor is how they smoke the salmon, and that’s a trade secret. Once the fish is smoked, the skin is removed and employees masticate the fillets. The chunks are placed into a large vat, where highly concentrated ethanol is mixed in. From that stew is pulled the flavor, rich color and essence of the salmon. “From there, we strain it out, and we take the fluid, which now is very concentrated smoked salmon essence, and we add that to our vodka. We do a cold infusion process, we filter it a couple more times, and out the door it goes,” Foster said.

andra Lee from the Food Network calls them Round Two Recipes. I call it cleaning out the pantry. Either way, it is fun to get creative and see what you can make with leftover food or leftover ingredients.

And some- INSIDE times, I See our just like to weekly Dining challenge Guide for myself to local menu see what I options can come Pages 4-5C up with.

Edy’s ice cream is on sale this week at Lowe’s Foods so therefore, there is a big old container of double vanilla in the freezer. I love vanilla ice cream not only because it is delicious, but because the possibilities are endless — it is just asking to be topped, swirled or blended. Well, with leftover butterscotch chips in the pantry and vanilla ice cream (excuse me, double vanilla) in the freezer, it seemed clear that an ice cream creation was in order. Butterscotch sauce is one of my favorites, and it is not always easy to come by. However, it is easy to prepare. Once I had a warm, creamy topping for my ice cream, it seemed as though some texture was necessary. Ta-da!

At this workshop Mrs. Cox learned about the outreach and service that the community garden had afforded another congregation in the Burlington District of the United Methodist Church and she immediately had the same vision for Center Church.

veryone loves tomatoes during the summer! Almost everyone who grows some vegetables for home consumption has a plant or two (or more!) of tomatoes. Tomatoes are relatively easy to grow, but there can be many problems in the hot and humid Southeast. Isn’t it disappointing when your tomatoes flower, but you don’t get fruit? Often, this is a result of extreme day and night heat in N.C. Flower production and pollination are decreased when night temperatures are above 70F. Heirloom varieties are often more finicky when it comes to heat. Humans hate humidity, but diseases love it. Conditions this year have favored a number of tomato diseases. Many diseases survive the winter on plant debris or in the soil. At the end of the season, remove all plant debris (even roots), especially from plants that were diseased or appeared unhealthy during the growing season. Healthy tissue can be incorporated into the soil. A number of diseases live in the soil. Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt are two such diseases that are easy to control if you pick the right cultivar. When selecting a tomato cultivar to grow, look for the letter “F” and/or “V” on the label. These letters indicate that the plant is resistant to one or more races of the fungi. The plant may still get the disease, but to a lesser extent than a

arming is a risky business. Each day farm families gamble on a loan to come through from the bank, equipment to keep running and not breakdown, and most importantly they gamble on a chance of rain. Their livelihood requires them to put thousands of dollars worth of seed and fertilizer in the ground in hopes that their crop will get off to a descent start. For farming, gambling is the name of the game. As crops become more diverse with genetic “advancements,” gambling becomes less of a risk. Until the past 2 to 3 years glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup, Gly4, and Gly-Star) tolerant crops such as soybeans, cotton and corn have offered farmers the opportunity to control weeds at a more cost effective rate. Glyphosate tolerant crops possess genes that allow the crop to be resistant to the herbicidal effects of glyphosate. By planting these glyphosate tolerant crops, farmers were able to spray less for weed control, and were also able to control more weeds with a single herbicide (Roundup) as opposed to using many

BOOK REVIEW
Paying homage to Doig digs up another story in Wild West Katharine Cornell in ‘Grand Manner’ By JENNIFER FARRAR Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — It helps in any autobiography to spice up your story, which is exactly what A. R. Gurney does in his new play, “The Grand Manner.” This warm homage to a bygone theater era is now premiering in a beautifully acted production at Lincoln Center’s Mitzi Newhouse Theatre. Expanding on a minor incident from his own youth, Gurney humorously embellishes an evening in the life of Peter, an enthusiastic young theater fan. Bobby Steggert plays Gurney’s youthful alter-ego with poise and enthusiastic charm. A high-school senior, Peter travels to New York City from his boarding school in Connecticut in February 1948, determined to meet the great actress Katharine Cornell (Kate Burton), performing on Broadway as Cleopatra in Shakespeare’s “Antony and Cleopatra.” Known in her day as The First Lady of the Theater, Cornell agrees to meet Peter backstage after the play to cheer herself up, as they share the home town of Buffalo, N.Y. Burton conveys Cornell’s powerful personality, as well as her private self-doubts, with rueful, melodramatic flair. In Gurney’s witty, sometimes brittle dialogue, Cornell dramatically criticizes her own performance as Cleopatra, while Peter gamely tries to reassure and praise her. Undeterred, she sweeps about the room, mourning the necessary passing of the torch to a new generation of young actors and the looming incursion

of television, which she calls “that fuzzy little box.” Until now, big performances such as hers were what theater audiences expected, hence the “grand manner” of the title. Boyd Gaines provides a gust of energy in a lively portrayal of Cornell’s husband, the distinguished producer and director Guthrie McClintic. Brenda Wehle is crisply wry as Gert, Cornell’s protective, snappish manager and “great and good friend.” Events take a slightly darker turn when McClintic assays a casual seduction of Peter, in a tense scene during which Gaines becomes suavely predatory. However, Gurney has slyly written Peter as such a sophisticated teenager that he remains unfazed by this and other sexual revelations, and he is also confident enough to ignore both Gert’s and McClintic’s repeated attempts to get him to leave. Theater lovers will relish the name dropping of famous friends and casual insider references, as when Cornell mentions that an extra in her current play, one Charlton Heston, has definite possibilities, “once he learns to stop waving that spear around.” Subtle direction by Mark Lamos, along with elegant period costumes and and a gorgeously furnished set, contribute to the cozy, insular feel of the play. While “The Grand Manner” makes for a slight play, it’s a nostalgic look back at a turning point for American popular culture, and an empathetic portrayal of a now-forgotten but genuine first lady of the stage.
“Work Song” (Riverhead Books, $25.95), by Ivan Doig
Readers who fell in love with Morrie Morris in “The Whistling Season” will welcome him back to Montana in Ivan Doig’s latest adventure. “Work Song” finds our hero — now a first-person narrator — taking on the name Morris Morgan and arriving in Butte during its post-World War I heyday and 10 years after the events in “The Whistling Season.” He’s drawn there by the copper mines that give the city its nickname — “the Richest Hill on Earth.” “Downtown Butte, set into the slope of the Hill like the till in a cash register, was as busy as the streets could hold,” writes Doig. But Morgan’s get-rich
quick schemes are soon put on hold when he finds room and board in the home of a young widow with a meaningful name — Grace Faraday. It’s there he meets two veteran miners from Wales named Wynford Griffith and Maynard Hooper. Griff and Hoop, as they insist on being called, soon plug Morgan into the unionized world of mining. The pages turn quickly
after that, filled with characters Doig vividly describes. Like Samuel Sandison, the local librarian with a secret past who hires Morgan to take inventory and keep the books: “ ... the man frowning down at me had considerable girth at the waist and narrowed at the chest and shoulders; like the terrain around us, he sloped.” Or fleet-of-foot schoolboy Wladislaw, who is referred to — even by his teacher — by his nickname “Russian Famine”: “Gaunt as an unfed greyhound, the hollow-cheeked boy did resemble a living ghost from starvation times on some distant steppe.” Doig’s love of language — more specifically, storytelling — is apparent throughout the book. Morgan’s job in the library surrounds him with masters of the craft,
from Kipling to Shakespeare to Stevenson. And the book’s plot centers on the “Work Song” of the title. Morgan volunteers to teach the miners’ union enough about rhythm and meter so they can create one to foster solidarity as they square off with the Anaconda Copper Mining Co. In the end, of course, “Work Song” — like “The Whistling Season” before it — is a love story. It’s richly imagined and beautifully paced. And it’s not hard to imagine it as a movie someday. Johnny Depp would make a fine Morgan and Nicole Kidman could wear Faraday’s apron. But even if that never happens, readers could do much worse than losing themselves in Doig’s words, none more poignant than these: “A goodbye to a good woman costs a piece of the soul.”

Fascinating tale of deaths on a mountain By MALCOLM RITTER Associated Press Writer
“No Way Down: Life and Death on K2” (Harper, $25.99), by Graham Bowley It’s like a horror movie. You meet a group of likable people bent on a noble quest. But then a sinister force starts picking them off. As the news spreads among the survivors, some brave souls risk their lives in rescue attempts. But in the end, 11 die. This is no horror movie. It’s the fascinating tour de force of a book, “No Way Down: Life and Death on K2,” the story of how a lethal disaster unfolded among climbers in 2008 on the secondhighest mountain in the world. Following a huge cast of characters from the United States, Norway, Italy, South Korea and
elsewhere, Graham Bowley reconstructs the triumph and terror that climbers encountered on the mountain. Almost all the deaths struck on the way down. The mountain did its worst, with

avalanches, extreme cold, oxygen deprivation and treacherous slopes where exhausted climbers were one misstep away from death. Some of the scenes Bowley paints could, in fact, fit in a horror movie: the young woman who calls in vain for her husband, who has just been swept away by falling ice. The climbers who catch fleeting glimpses of others hurtling to their deaths. The leader of an Italian expedition who escapes an avalanche, only to see that the tumbling snow included the boot of an Irish friend — and a single, blue human eye.
Yet, there are cheerier moments, describing the elation of reaching the top and the camaraderie of climbers from different nations as they cooperated in their quest. Readers get a glimpse of an outsized human endeavor that most will never know. Bowley wove his tale together after hundreds of interviews with dozens of people, and the result is a triumph of storytelling. A Norwegian climber, after strolling for three hours with Bowley, turned to him and said, “We think you are the one to tell our story.” The reader can only agree.

Assistance for Medicare D beneficiaries
DEAR SAVVY SENIOR: In one of your recent columns (What Healthcare Reform Means for Seniors) you wrote that seniors with a Medicare prescription drug plan could get a $250 rebate check when they hit the donut hole. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just hit it! What do I need to do to get my check and how long will I have to wait? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NEED HELP
DEAR NEED: One of the key benefits for seniors in the new healthcare reform law is improved coverage for Medicare Part D beneficiaries. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should know.
Donut hole rebate
This year, seniors who have a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan are automatically eligible to receive a onetime $250 rebate check if they hit the â&#x20AC;&#x153;donut-holeâ&#x20AC;? coverage gap and are not already receiving Medicare â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extra Help.â&#x20AC;? Medicare expects around 4 million Part D beneficiaries will actually hit the donut hole in 2010. The donut hole begins after you reach $2,830 in total prescription-drug spending and extends until your total drug costs for the year reach $6,440. Within that gap, you generally have to pay the bills out-ofpocket. After that, your Part D plan usually covers 95 percent of your remaining drug costs for the year. Again, you just need to reach the donut hole to qualify for the rebate.
Just hang up the phone, and call 1-800-MEDICARE to report it.
Coming next year
Jim Miller Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit www.savvysenior.org.
You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to spend $250 within the coverage gap first. And you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to fill out any forms to get your check. Medicare will automatically send it when you reach the donut hole â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you should receive it within 45 days. To make sure there are no delays, you may want to call your drug plan once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hit the donut hole, to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve notified Medicare of your eligibility. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get your rebate check, call Medicare at 800-633-4227.
Scam alert The government also wants to warn seniors about possible con artists who may try to take advantage of the government rebate. If someone calls you claiming to need your personal information, like your Medicare or Social Security number, or bank account so they can process your Medicare rebate check, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give it to them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scam!
You also need to know that starting in 2011, Medicare Part D beneficiaries that hit the donut hole will receive a 50 percent discount on brand-name drugs and a seven percent discount on generic prescriptions. After that, beneficiaries will pay a smaller portion of their drug costs in the donut hole each year until 2020, when they have to pay just 25 percent of those costs. Also starting next year, individuals who earn more than $85,000 (or $170,000 if married filing jointly) will have to pay a high-income surcharge for Part D Premiums, as they do for Part B.
Extra help changes Another change to be aware of is Medicareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expanded prescription drug benefit to low income seniors (this is not part of healthcare reform). Changes in the law have now made it easier for about 1 million more seniors to qualify for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extra Helpâ&#x20AC;? in paying their Medicare
drug coverage. To be eligible, your annual income must be less than $16,245 for an individual and $21,855 for a married couple living together. And your assets such as stocks, bonds and bank accounts must be limited to $12,510 for singles and $25,010 for married couples. The value of your home and automobiles are excluded. Under the old law, applicants had to include the value of life insurance policies in calculating their assets. They also had to include as part of their income money received on a regular basis from relatives and friends to help pay household expenses. Under the new law, life insurance policies are no longer counted as assets and money received to help pay household expenses is not counted as income. To find out if you qualify call Social Security at 800-772-1213 or see ssa.gov/prescriptionhelp.

Restaurant serves lion burgers despite protests
Real salads sport bacon, beans and BBQ sauce
By MICHELLE PRICE Associated Press Writer
PHOENIX — A restaurant owner who put lion burgers on the menu in honor of the World Cup has felt a roar of anger from outraged animal rights activists. Cameron Selogie, owner of the Il Vinaio restaurant in Mesa, served burgers made with African lion this week as a nod to the tournament in South Africa. Reservations sold out, with a waiting list 100 long. But the burgers also attracted international attention and the scorn of animal rights activists, who picketed outside the restaurant. Selogie has even received some death threats. And now Selogie himself is questioning whether the meat was fair game. “I was led to believe they were not hunted, they were not shot, they were not abused,” Selogie said. “I feel I was misled by this.” Serving African lion meat is perfectly legal, said Michael Herndon, a spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration.

No time for potato or pasta salad? Or just looking to mix it up at the July Fourth cookout? This is your salad. Just 20 minutes will get you an intensely flavored white bean salad studded with savory bacon, crunchy fennel and fresh corn, all tossed with tangy barbecue sauce. The result is a rich, but not heavy salad that is the perfect partner for ribs, burgers, dogs, cobs or whatever you got on the grill. It’s also a versatile dish that can be dressed up multiple ways. Use it as a filling in flour tortillas for barbecue-flavored burritos. Spoon it over tortilla chips, sprinkle with cheese, then bake until heated through for hearty nachos. To save even more time, you can prepare the salad ahead and refrigerate for a day. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
BARBECUE BACON AND BEAN SALAD Start to finish: 20 minutes Servings: 6 1/2 pound bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 large yellow onion, diced 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Add the onion and continue cooking until the bacon is crispy and the onion tender. Remove the pan from the heat. If there is more than about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan, drain most of it, leaving the bacon and onions in the pan. Stir in the smoked paprika and barbecue sauce. Transfer to a bowl and place in the freezer for 10 minutes to cool quickly. In a large bowl, mix together the corn, beans and fennel. Mix in the cooled bacon mixture, tossing well.

AT THE FARMER’S MARKETS
States ease food safety rules for homemade goods By DINESH RAMDE Associated Press Writer
MILWAUKEE — At Wisconsin farmers markets, vendors no longer need licenses to sell pickles, jams and other canned foods, while small farmers in Maine can sell slaughtered chickens without worrying about inspections. Federal and state laws require that most food sold to the public be made in licensed facilities open to government inspectors. But as more people become interested in buying local food, a few states have created exemptions for amateur chefs who sell homemade goods at farmers markets and on small farms. The exemptions have touched off a debate about how to balance the need for food safety with a dose of regulatory common sense. Supporters say they recognize food safety regulations designed for big commercial food handlers can be a burden for small-time cooks who just want to make a few extra bucks selling canned goods or other specialty products. Opponents say that without regulation, the public is at risk for food-borne illnesses. Wisconsin lawmakers enacted the so-called Pickle Bill in February. Among other things, it allows small vendors to sell high-acid canned foods, such as pickled fruits, salsas and sauerkraut, without a license. It does not apply to low-acid canned goods, such as pickled eggs, which typically carry a higher risk of contamination. To get a license, food processors must have approved refrig-

sistant weeds that are causing farmers to revert back to old weed control methods. Palmer Amaranth, commonly known as pigweed, and Marestail, also known as Horsetail, have thrown a stick in the wheel when it comes to chemical weed control with glyphosate. These weeds grow at an extraordinarily fast pace, with Palmer Amaranth growing a full inch per day every day during hot, moist conditions. On top of a fast growth rate, each plant is capable of producing hundreds of thousands of seed that have the ability to remain viable in the ground up to four years. These two weeds are not only resistant to glyphosate, but also several other herbicides that are used

If they don’t own appropriate facilities, they can sometimes rent commercial kitchens. But even that can cost too much for people who just want to make a few extra dollars, said Joan Arnold, a retiree in Rudolph, Wis. She made a few hundred dollars last year selling jams from berries she grows in her garden before she learned of the regulations. “I don’t make that much. I’m just doing this as a hobby, to make a little bit of money,” Arnold said. “I don’t want to just throw the berries in the compost
for weed suppression in soybeans, cotton and corn. In short, glyphosate resistant Palmer Amaranth and Marestail are our farmer’s worst nightmare. Even though this glyphosate resistance poses a great disadvantage to the farmers, glyphosate is still a good herbicide for other weed control. The farmers in Lee County especially have been fighting the war on herbicide resistance by reverting to old cultivation practices, and altering different herbicide attacks on these glyphosate resistant weeds. The farmers are winning the war against these herbicide resistant weeds, however, it is coming at a painstakingly high cost in extra tillage, and extra herbicide applications. But as most farmers would say; “it comes at the hard cost of farming.”
heap.” She’s now exempt from the rules under the Pickle Bill, which applies to people who earn less than $5,000 a year from food sales. Their products, however, must be labeled as made in a facility not subject to state inspection. Many food safety officials, however, say that label doesn’t do enough to protect the public. They worry that without inspections, food made in unsanitary conditions could make people sick or expose them to unlabeled allergens. “The two major failures in food production are temperature control and personal hygiene,” said Robert Harrington, director of the Casper-Natrona

non-resistant cultivar. Also, rotation of crops is extremely important for disease control. Do not plant members of the tomato family (this includes tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants and peppers) in the same space for at least four years. Instead, plant corn or beans in that area. What if you don’t have space to rotate? Do your best, but realize that diseases and insects will buildup and, in the future, you may have to abandon your garden plot. Other common dis-
County Health Department in Casper, Wyo. “If someone says they shouldn’t have to follow regulations because they’re making food in their home, I’d say, ‘Why is your home so safe that it doesn’t need that level of oversight and control?” Those concerns haven’t stopped one Western lawmaker from trying to ease regulations. Wyoming doesn’t require licenses for people making “nonhazardous” foods such as jams, jellies and baked goods, but Rep. Sue Wallis, R-Recluse, wants to eliminate all restrictions when cooks sell products directly to informed consumers. Her legislation, which wouldn’t apply to foods sold in stores or served to schoolchildren, was tabled during the last legislative session but she plans to reintroduce it. “How (opponents) can possibly claim what I decide what I put in my mouth is something the government should be regulating is ridiculous,” she said. “Then you’re imposing on my rights as a consumer to eat the food I choose.” Lawmakers in Maine approved legislation last year exempting small chicken farmers from stringent processing rules that apply to larger poultry producers. Those with fewer than 1,000 birds don’t need to use the same kind of elaborate — and costly — slaughtering facilities, but their products also must be labeled accordingly. Rep. Jeff McCabe, D-Skowhegan, said he introduced the bill because of interest in locally produced foods. By freeing small farms from onerous rules, he said, more customers can buy
food from down the street instead of from a giant poultry processor thousands of miles away. “Now farmers have a little more freedom to develop that relationship with their customers,” he said. Variations of the Maine law have been considered in states such as Texas and Virginia but haven’t passed. Tennessee passed a law last year that exempts charities and nonprofits from foodsafety rules. However, one critic pointed out those groups might be far from small-time, perhaps feeding hundreds or thousands of people. “If there’s a problem with food safety there a lot of people might be affected,” said Doug Farquhar, the program director for agriculture for the National Conference of State Legislatures. Some small food processors aren’t happy about the new laws either. Ken Ruegsegger of New Glarus, Wis., bottles about 20 kinds of pickled fruits and vegetables such as peppers and carrots. He already invested in a commercial kitchen that meets licensing requirements and is charging $4 to $7 for his products to try to make back the money. Unlicensed competitors can now make the same product in uninspected kitchens and sell it for half the price, he said. “That could cost me thousands of dollars per year,” he said. “And I’m inspected four times a year. These people could be making it in their kitchens with cats walking around. It’s not fair.”
establish a rapport with them. Over the last several years, the community has grown substantially, and we felt this garden would allow us to reach out to our neighbors by providing them with fresh produce and fellowship. We’ve also been excited that the garden provides greater accessibility to fresh produce and outdoor activities to help improve the overall health of our children. Last year, Center UMC adopted a Healthy Eating Policy that encour-
ages better nutrition so church members can successfully take care of the “Temples of the Holy Spirit” that God has given us. This project has also been helpful in teaching the kids about planting, watering, fertilizing and harvesting since fewer families are gardening on their own these days. The kids are able to see firsthand God’s Creation at work in nature through the beauty and wonder of growing and harvesting this garden.
The church has wholeheartedly accepted this mission project. All of the youth, counselors, leaders, and adults have helped plant, weed, water and harvest the produce. Members of the church even had the opportunity to submit suggestions for naming the garden. The name selected was “God’s Little Acre,” and we feel it aptly reflects our goal of demonstrating the good works of God in our community!
eases of tomatoes in Lee County include Septoria leaf spot and Early blight. Both of these diseases affect the foliage. Septoria leaf spot causes small, circular lesions with a light center. These lesions first appear on lower leaves and then progress upward with time. Early blight is characterized by targetlike lesions; these also appear first on the lower leaves. To control these diseases, avoid crowding plants, avoid overhead irrigation, water in the early morning, and avoid working when the foliage is wet. There are fungicide treatments available, but these are preventative and will
not cure the damage the plant has already sustained. The last disease I want to mention is Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV ). This virus is carried by tiny insects called thrips. Symptoms are varied, but include stunting, yellowblotches on the leaves, and yellow ringspots on the fruit or leaves. Like viruses in humans, there are no cures once your plant is infected. Control of the insect has not been highly effective in controlling the disease. Also, once you’ve noticed an unhealthy plant, the insects have likely moved on and the damage is done. If you
spot a plant with TSWV in your garden, remove it. I hope this is not too discouraging for all you home tomato growers. Knowing the enemy helps you build a plan. One of the most important weapons is to choose the right cultivars for the region. If you suspect a tomato disease, bring a sample (larger is better) to our Center. I have touched briefly on a few of the more common diseases in our area, for more information on tomato diseases, reference HGIC 2217: Tomato Diseases or call our Center at 7755624.

than those who drank the sports drink, and for about the same time as those who drank the Gatorade. The American College of Sports Medicine presented another chocolate milk study just last year at its annual meeting in Seattle. That study, conducted at James Madison University, compared chocolate milk to a high-carbohydrate recovery beverage with the same number of calories. In this study, 13 male college soccer players trained for one week, then drank either low-fat chocolate milk or the high-carbohydrate recovery beverage after intense training for the next four days. They took a two-week break, then repeated the cycle, and the researchers compared the degree of muscle recovery between the two groups. According to this study, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the athletes increased their daily training times during the intensified training, regardless of postexercise beverage, yet after two and four days of intensified training, chocolate milk drinkers had significantly lower levels of creatine kinase â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an indicator of muscle damage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; compared to when they drank the carbohydrate beverage. There were no differences between the two beverages in effects on soccer-specific performance tests, subjective ratings of muscle soreness, mental and physical fatigue and other measures of muscle strength.â&#x20AC;? And yet another study, recently released at the American College of Sports Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 57th annual meeting in Baltimore, showed that chocolate milk might be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;worthwhile post-exercise recovery beverage.â&#x20AC;? According to Kristine Clark, Ph.D., R.D., director of Sports Nutrition at Pennsylvania State University, the milk industry has gone to extreme efforts to convince the public, especially athletes, that chocolate milk is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;one and doneâ&#x20AC;? product for athletes to drink for muscle recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not,â&#x20AC;? says Clark. There are several
important issues to understand about muscle recovery: â&#x20AC;&#x153;First and foremost, active individuals must ensure they are meeting their total energy intake needs in order to promote muscle recovery. Next, they need to appropriately time consumption of adequate amounts of fluids and electrolytes, carbohydrate for replenishing glycogen storage, and high-quality protein for repairing and rebuilding muscle protein,â&#x20AC;? says Jackie Maurer Abbot, Ph.D., a registered dietitian and board-certified specialist in sports dietetics. She suggests drinking water for fluids, some Gatorade for the electrolytes such as potassium and sodium (find out how much you need) and looking for carbohydrates that are high on the glycemic index such as a baked potato or brown rice, because they help move glucose into the cells. You also need protein, but not all protein sources are good choices. Choose good quality lean proteins (egg whites, fish, lean meats with no visible fat, white meat chicken and turkey without skin). Research from the University of Texas that was published in Medical Science and Sports Exercise and the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism has demonstrated that carbohydrates alone are not enough. Amino acids are also critical for muscle recovery. Amino acids serve as the building blocks our muscles use to repair the damage that occurs with exercise as well as to support muscle growth (aka muscle hypertrophy). In fact, consuming as little as 6 grams of essential amino acids (from animal proteins and soy protein, which contain all nine of the essential amino acids) can aid the recovery process, says Abbot. And one specific amino acid, leucine, has been identified by researchers as potentially mediating greater maintenance of muscle mass. Leucine plays a key role in building new muscle protein, and 1 cup of chocolate milk has 778 milligrams of leucine. The problem is that many people, includ-
ing athletes, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the extra calories. In fact, many are trying to reduce body fat, not increase it. According to Clark, an athlete â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or anyone for that matter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can simply have a meal with whole foods that includes lean protein and whole-grain carbohydrates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no rush. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about muscle recovery; you have time. The idea is to get ready for the next event.â&#x20AC;? Also, when you come to think about it, chocolate milk requires refrigeration â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which means it is not so convenient after all. Finally, Clark says that 8 to 12 ounces of chocolate milk will not be enough for recovery. An athlete working out for two to three hours would need more carbs and protein. In terms of protein, athletes engaging in endurance exercise typically need around 0.55 to 0.64 grams of protein per pound of body weight, while strengthtraining athletes may need 0.73 to 0.77 grams of protein per pound of body weight. Those doing recreational or moderate endurance and strength training only need 0.36 to 0.54 grams per pound of body weight. Clark also says that a college athletes training for two to three hours would need approximately 3 to 5 grams of carbohydrates per pound of body weight to completely restore glycogen. While chocolate milk can contribute, it contains only 8 grams of protein and 36 grams of carbohydrates per 8 ounces. The bottom line: The unique combination of carbohydrates and protein, and the fact that fat-free chocolate milk is also a liquid (as opposed to something like yogurt), make it a contender as a musclerecovery drink. However, a real meal containing protein and whole-grain carbs would be better. And from a weight-loss perspective, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a real option. Skip the fat-free chocolate milk and have a plain Greek yogurt (80 calories; 0 g fat; 6 g carbs; 15 g protein for more than 5.3 ounces) with a cut-up banana (1 medium = 105 calories; 0.39 g fat; 27 g carbs; 3 g fiber; 1.29 g protein).

Divorce lawyers: Facebook tops in online evidence By LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press Writer
Forgot to de-friend your wife on Facebook while posting vacation shots of your mistress? Her divorce lawyer will be thrilled. Oversharing on social networks has led to an overabundance of evidence in divorce cases. The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers says 81 percent of its members have used or faced evidence plucked from Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other social networking sites, including YouTube and LinkedIn, over the last five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some fun ones,â&#x20AC;? said Linda Lea Viken, president-elect of the 1,600-member group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very, very common in my new cases.â&#x20AC;? Facebook is the unrivaled leader for turning virtual reality into real-life divorce drama, Viken said. Sixty-six percent of the lawyers surveyed cited Facebook foibles as the source of online evidence, she said. MySpace followed with 15 percent, followed by Twitter at 5 percent. About one in five adults uses Facebook for flirting, according to a 2008 report by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just kissy pix with the manstress or mistress that show up as evidence. Think of Dad forcing son to de-friend mom, bolstering her alienation of affection claim against him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This sort of evidence has gone from nothing to a large percentage of my cases coming in, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty darn easy,â&#x20AC;? Viken said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Are you kidding me?â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Neither Viken, in Rapid City, S.D., nor other divorce attorneys would besmirch the attorney-client privilege by revealing the identities of clients, but they spoke in broad terms about some of the goofs theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve encountered: n Husband goes on Match.com and declares his single, childless status while seeking primary custody of said nonexistent children. n Husband denies anger management issues but posts on Facebook in his â&#x20AC;&#x153;write something about yourselfâ&#x20AC;? section: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have the balls to get in my face, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll kick your ass into submission.â&#x20AC;? n Father seeks custody of the kids, claiming (among other things) that his ex-wife never attends the events of their young ones.

Divorce attorneys Leslie, left, and Ken Matthews are shown in the offices of their firm in Denver. evidence from the gaming site World of Warcraft tracks her there with her boyfriend at the precise time she was supposed to be out with the children. Mom loves Facebookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farmville, too, at all the wrong times. n Mom denies in court that she smokes marijuana but posts partying, potsmoking photos of herself on Facebook. The disconnect between real life and online is hardly unique to partners de-coupling in the United States. A DIY divorce site in the United Kingdom, Divorce-Online, reported the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Facebookâ&#x20AC;? appeared late last year in about one in five of the petitions it was handling. (The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caseload now amounts to about 7,000.) Divorce attorneys Ken and Leslie Matthews, a husband and wife team in Denver, Colo., donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see quite as many online gems. They estimated 1 in 10 of their cases involves such evidence, compared to a rare case or no cases at all in each of the last three years. Regardless, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful evidence to plunk down before a judge, they said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finding information that you just never get in the normal discovery process â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ever,â&#x20AC;? Leslie Matthews said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are just blabbing things all over Facebook. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet quite connect what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying in their divorce cases is completely different from what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying on Facebook. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even occur to them that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be found out.â&#x20AC;? Social networks are also ripe for divorce-related hate and smear campaigns among battling spousal camps, sometimes spawning legal cases of their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all pretty good evidence,â&#x20AC;? Viken said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really fake a page off of Facebook. The judges donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have any problems letting it in.â&#x20AC;? The attorneys offer these tips for making sure
your out-loud personal life online doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wind up in divorce court:
WHAT YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE HELD AGAINST YOU If you plan on lying under oath, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t load up social networks with evidence to the contrary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tell our clients when they come in, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want to see your Facebook page. I want you to remember that the judge can read that stuff so never write anything you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the judge to hear,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Viken said.
BEWARE YOUR FRENEMIES Going through a divorce is about as emotional as it gets for many couples. The desire to talk trash is great, but so is the pull for friends to take sides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They think these people can help get them through it,â&#x20AC;? said Marlene Eskind Moses, a family law expert in Nashville, Tenn., and current president of the elite academy of divorce attorneys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the worst possible time to share your feelings online.â&#x20AC;? A PICTURE MAY BE WORTH ... BIG BUCKS Grown-ups on a good day should know better than to post boozy, carousing or sexually explicit photos of themselves online, but in the middle of a contentious divorce? Ken Matthews recalls photos of a clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partially naked estranged wife alongside pictures of their kids on Facebook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was hearing bizarre stories from his kids. Guys around the house all the time. Men running in and out. And there were these pictures,â&#x20AC;? Matthews said. PRIVACY, PRIVACY, PRIVACY Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called privacy settings for a reason. Find them. Get to know them. Use them. Keep up when Facebook decides to change them.
