CHATHAM COUNTY
Offi cials seek vintage videos of courthouse
PITTSBORO — Chatham County is in the very early stages of developing plans for a short documentary about the Historic County Courthouse, which would in-clude a focus on the history of the building, its rebuilding and a few key events that happened at the courthouse.
As part of this effort, the county asks residents for help in locating any exist-ing video footage of events that might have happened, such as major trials, rallies, marches, parades, speeches by famous leaders or other signifi cant events.
“We hope to capture the important role the courthouse has played in our history,” said Commis-sioner Chair Sally Kost. “It is a beautiful building at the heart of the county, but it also has been a place where key events have impacted a diverse spectrum of our population.”
Kost said that the county needs both exterior and interior footage, including architectural elements. “We also can use photographs that are in very good condi-tion, but we especially need any video that’s out there.”
Please contact Debra Henzey at 542-8258 or Lisa West at 545-8483 if you have access to any relevant footage or photographs that could be loaned and duplicated.

SANFORD
Workshop planned on gas exploration
SANFORD — Gas explo-ration companies have stirred up excitement in the community with promises of easy money. However, before you sign a lease, you need to learn more about natural gas, its extraction, and pro-tecting your interests.
Did you know that a lease presented by a company can be a starting point for ne-
gotiations? By successfully negotiating a lease, you can create a winning agreement for you and your land.
The N.C. Cooperative Extension will be hosting the workshop “Natural Gas Exploration: What You Need to Know”, with guest speakers Jim Simon, Dr. Jeff Reid, and Dr. Kenneth Taylor with the NC Geological Survey, NCDENR, and Ted Feitshans, NCSU Extension Specialist in the Agricultural and Resource Economics Department.
The program will be held from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, June 16, at the McSwain Center.
This is the only workshop on natural gas that will be hosted by Cooperative Extension in June. Learn how natural gas is formed, the methods of extraction, and how to protect your interests when signing a lease with an exploration company.
The class is free, however pre-registration is required. Call 775-5624 to register.

Progress Energy requests rate decrease for 2011
RALEIGH — For the second straight year, Progress En-ergy Carolinas fi led a request Friday to lower the rates paid by its N.C. customers.
If approved by the N.C. Utilities Commission, the change will save a typical household nearly $50 next year, the company said.
The rate request has three main parts: a decrease in the monthly amount custom-ers are charged for fuels used to generate electricity ($5.60 reduction on a resi-dential 1,000-kilowatt-hour bill); an increase of $1.53 in the monthly charge used to pay for energy effi ciency and demand-side management programs; and a decrease of 5 cents a month in the charge for renewable energy.
The net impact of the three fi lings is a monthly reduction of $4.12 on a 1,000-kWh residential bill.

way with me that some-one would ask for my vote, and he was very knowledgeable about what’s going on with banking,” Lee County Commissioner and Fairview Dairy Bar patron Jamie Kelly said. “I think he’s got a good shot.”
Cunningham said the primary focus of his cam-paign is on the economy and how to create jobs.
“I want to revise and re-form trade deals that cost places like Lee County a lot of manufacturing jobs,” Cunningham said.
As an Iraq War veteran, Cunningham said it is also important to him to take care of veterans and military families. Cunning-ham served as a captain in the U.S. Army Reserves and was a lead military
prosecutor.“Not only does he have
a good sense of national security, but he’s been there,” said Randall Stag-ner, director of Veterans and Family Members for Cal Cunningham. “He knows what it’s like to be on a battlefi eld. He knows what it’s like to be shot at. He knows what it’s like to lose friends.”
Other key points of Cunningham’s campaign include protecting teach-ing jobs and strengthening North Carolina schools.
At the Dairy Bar, Cun-ningham talked to voters about everything from how he would ensure the care of special needs chil-dren to how he plans to address the needs of small businesses.
“I’ve heard a lot of stories from people who have lost their jobs and are looking for answers about how we’ll address that,” Cunningham said. “It speaks volumes about how this economy takes people who were just getting by and knocks them fl at on the ground.”
Cunningham said it’s important to meet voters because in addition to spreading his message to them, listening to voters’ stories and feedback indi-cates what issues matter most to them.
“This is what cam-paigning is all about,” Cunningham said. “This is what democracy is all about. The public expects to get to know its candi-dates.”
Early voting in runoff surprisingly heavy
Early voting for the runoff senatorial election between Cal Cunningham and Elaine Marshall began Thursday, and more voters went to the polls than expected.
“I think it’s going to be low numbers,” Nancy Kimble of the Lee County Board of Elections said. “The 30 voters (Thursday) was very surprising.”
Early voting is open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday at the Lee County Board of Elections Offi ce at 225 S. Steele St. The offi ce will also be open for early voting Saturday, June 19, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m.
MOORE COUNTY
Plea entered in 2007 slayingCARTHAGE (MCT)
— One of the men accused of killing 11-year-old Emily Haddock in 2007 agreed to a plea bargain Thursday afternoon in Moore County Superior Court while an-other decided to go to trial.
Sherrod Nicholas Har-rison, 22, was facing a pos-sible death penalty.
He pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact of fi rst-degree murder. As part of the plea deal, Harrison agreed to testify against his four co-defen-dants if called by the state.
Judge James Webb sen-tenced Harrison to a mini-mum term of seven years, nine months and 10 years, one month maximum. Harrison already has served two years, eight months.
In a bizarre courtroom twist, co-defendant Michael Graham Currie, 21, had been expected to enter a plea to a fi rst-degree-mur-der charge. But Currie ap-
peared to change his mind during the proceeding.
“Do you understand that you are pleading guilty to fi rst-degree murder,” Webb asked Currie, “and that the maximum punishment for that is death? Do you now personally plead guilty to the charge I just described?”
“No,” Currie said softly.“You are not pleading
guilty?” Webb asked.“No.”“Do you consider it to
be in your best interest to plead guilty to the charge I just described?” the judge added. “Do you want to consult with your lawyers?”
Currie could then be seen shaking his head as he conferred with his defense lawyers, Tony Buzzard and Tim Morris.
Buzzard said Currie rejected the plea deal, choosing instead to take his case to trial.
“You may return him to the county jail,” Webb
said to the Moore County sheriff’s deputies who had escorted him in.
Webb set Currie’s capital trial for Aug. 10.
Friends and family of Emily Haddock, a group of about two dozen, sat sol-emn-faced, off to one side of the courtroom.
Investigators have cited Currie as the ringleader in a botched break-in on Sept. 21, 2007, at Emily’s home near Cameron. The men kicked in the door, intending to burglarize the double-wide mobile home. Instead, they were surprised to fi nd the girl, who was home with strep throat.
When the intruders found Emily in the house, deputies have said, one of them shot her once in the mouth and once in the head.
Her grandfather found her body later that day.
While outlining what would have been evidence in the case to support the
plea, District Attorney Mau-reen Krueger cited Currie as the ringleader. “Mr. Currie, by all accounts, was the shooter,” she told the judge.
Afterward, Haddock’s family declined to com-ment. One member of the group could be seen hug-ging a law offi cer as she left the courtroom.
Michael Harrison, Sherrod’s father, was angry about the sentence his son received.
“He had to take a plea bargain just to save his life when they have no damn evidence,” he said. “No physical evidence tying him to (the murder).”
Buzzard and Morris could not be reached for comment. Jon Silverman, lead lawyer for Harrison, also declined to comment. following the court hearing.
“What happened in the courtroom is what hap-pened,” Silverman said.

The recent high profi le political scan-dals in North Carolina get under our skin, don’t they?
One reason they disturb us so much is that we are proud of our state’s good government tradition. We have never been perfect. But, generally speaking, we are blessed at both the local and state level with a core of civil servants who serve with professionalism and unselfi shness.
It could be different, as it is in some other states where corruption and unprofessional-ism are the rule rather than the exception, as it is in our state.
Some people give credit to North Caroli-na’s good traditions in local government ad-ministration to Donald Hayman, who died a few days ago not long after his 91st birthday.
Maybe you remember some things I wrote about Dr. Hayman a year or two ago when I was celebrating some good people that Kan-sas had shared with North Carolina.
Back then I wrote, “Sixty years ago, a young Kansan moved to North Carolina to teach public law and government at the Institute of Government in Chapel Hill. His specialty was personnel administration, but his colleagues called on him for many other important tasks. Shortly after his arrival, his study of the fi nancial soundness of the state and local governments’ pen-sion systems prompted revisions that still guide retirement plans for gov-ernment employees.
“Within a few years, he was deeply involved in the Institute’s programs to educate, train and serve the professional managers of North Carolina’s coun-ties and municipalities. The modest Hayman became the godfather of thousands of North Carolina’s public servants. He quietly encour-aged them to follow his example of profes-sionalism and service.
“As a result, North Carolina’s citizens are the benefi ciaries of a corps of high-level pub-lic servants who can trace their professional standards to Donald Hayman’s inspiration. Although many of the men and women that Hayman trained are now retired, they have passed on his legacy to their successors.”
About the time I wrote about Dr. Hayman, UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Government (successor to the Institute) honored him with the MPA (Master of Public Administration) Alumni Distinguished Public Service Award and named the award for him. At the cere-mony, former students called him the “father of sound public personnel administration” and the “father of professional local govern-ment” in North Carolina.
For many years Dr. Hayman also led a state government internship program for North Carolina college students. Forty-fi ve
years ago, as one of those interns I got a dose of his quiet enthusiasm for public service and his demand for unselfi sh professional-ism.
Since his death I have tried to put in a few words about how this quiet modest man left such a strong and positive impression on his students.
His example was critical. Always well pre-pared, he was still careful to listen with real respect to what others brought to the table. I learned that he “exhorted” his MPA students to be “clear, concise, and free of ambiguity” in all their communications.
His students learned the skills of public administra-tion as well as the impor-tance of competence, tact, and non-partisanship.
There is something more that is harder to describe. Dr. Hayman’s students (including those summer interns) came to understand it was a privi-lege to serve the public and that such service was both a heavy responsibility and
its own reward.Underneath it all was the recognition
that dishonesty, private gain, or betrayals of public trust were unpardonable, unspeak-able sins.
Dr. Hayman’s death is a good time to remember that the civic virtues his students brought to public life in North Carolina are treasures to celebrate, to renew, and to protect.

Gov. Bev Perdue’s admin-istration keeps working on new ideas to meet
state transportation needs.Some are better than others.The latest proposal calls for
creating a Mobility Fund, a pool of money to pay for big mainte-nance projects — such as replac-ing the Yadkin River bridges on I-85 — and even city road work. It would tap some of the revenue currently diverted from the state’s Highway Trust Fund to the Gen-eral Fund and raise some taxes, including the motor vehicle registration fee.
This is a poor economic environment for raising taxes, although even fi scal conserva-tives must acknowledge the long-term problem with relying so heavily on the motor-fuels tax for transportation needs. People keep driving more fuel-effi cient vehicles and paying less tax, while highway construction and maintenance costs are not decreasing.
The bigger question, though, is why create a Mobility Fund when the state already has a Highway Trust Fund? The easy answer is that the Highway Trust Fund isn’t adequately meeting the state’s transportation needs, but that should be addressed by correcting its problems, not com-ing up with a new entity that sup-posedly would exist within the Highway Trust Fund but operate separately.
The state can’t deal with its top maintenance priority, the Yadkin River bridges, because of the politically motivated Equity For-mula that governs the spending of Highway Trust Fund dollars. Money has to be doled out evenly
across the state, no matter where it’s needed most. That doesn’t allow for an allocation of $300 million in one location, even on a major artery like I-85. Perdue has had to think creatively to get started on the Yadkin River project, borrowing against future federal appropriations for the fi rst phase.
It would be better to use the Highway Trust Fund as the state’s major transportation funding mechanism but give the Board of Transportation authority to target funds to the most urgent proj-ects, regardless of location. The legislature should put politics aside to make that happen — an idea travelers could support.

Tea Party’s bluffI’m done trying to hack through
the tea party thicket of self-con-tradiction, self-delusion and
self-serving positions. My last straw is Rand Paul, a tea party favorite and now Republican nominee for senator from Kentucky.
What damns Paul wasn’t the fl ap over his views on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Presumably, Paul isn’t a racist. He’s just a privileged white guy — a doctor and son of 11-term congress-man Ron Paul — who lacks feeling for America’s tragic history of racism.
What makes Rand Paul so exas-perating is his crashing hypocrisy on Medicare. The hero to the cause of smaller government and balanced budgets also vows not to touch Medi-care — the biggest and fastest-grow-ing expense on the federal balance sheet. Rand’s compromised stance refl ects the political necessity of keep-ing the tea party people happy. The group is heavy with older folk, who have carefully drawn a line of self-in-terest around the king of government entitlements, Medicare.
Here’s a sample view from a leader of the Rhode Island tea party: “We understand that the federal govern-ment cannot take $500 billion out of Medicare and provide the same medi-cal services to our elderly, all the while offering health care to 30 million new people, without a vast increase in the number of providers, the imposi-tion of massive new taxes and/or the rationing of care.”
Where does one start? First off, the new health care legislation does not cut a single guaranteed Medicare benefi t. It actually expands the offer-ings to include screening services and closing the drug-benefi t doughnut hole. The savings come largely from ending overpayments to the private Medicare Advantage plans.
As for “the massive new taxes,” would the tea party folk please tell us where they are? While they’re looking, the public should note that money for the new health care legislation is honestly allocated. That can’t be said of the Republicans’ 2003 Medicare drug benefi t — a corporate bonanza for which not a penny was funded.
Our tea party spokeswoman goes on to claim that, in any case, “we paid” for Medicare. Oh, really?
It happens that Medicare pay-roll taxes provide 40 percent of the program’s funding and premiums another 12 percent. The remaining 39 percent comes from general revenues (mostly income taxes). Much of the payroll and income taxes are born by people who won’t live long enough to collect benefi ts themselves. And given the spiraling costs of the program, today’s young taxpayers will never see the level of benefi ts that they are now subsidizing. ...
My question to the tea party’s lovers of liberty: If you really think you’ve paid for Medicare and hate big government, why don’t you demand that this expensive program be ended?

Commmisioners must be held accountable
To the Editor:On the contrary, it is not time
to sing “Kum-ba-ya” in regards to LCHS renovations. It is time to hold the commissioners’ feet to the fi re. What started out as a $19 million renovation is now much higher. It’s time to tell them you made the com-mitment, you signed the contract at a certain price, and you better stick with it. Don’t come back asking for more money because you’re not going to get it. Unfortunately, we’ve seen time and time again they don’t respect our opinions; they don’t care if we are barely making it out here, and they will take from us if they want to.
Now let me repeat this again like I have so many times: If you don’t keep quality teachers in the classroom, and you believe a build-ing makes all the difference in test scores and graduation rates, you are setting our school system up for failure.
A good analogy for this is build-ing a 5,000 sq. ft home, but not having the refrigerator. The home is nice. But a necessity is the refrig-erator. I can live there but if I have no food or nowhere to safely store it, I won’t survive. Sure you might get people to move here, but can you keep them here?
A building is not what makes our kids successful. The laptop initiative for middle school kids doesn’t makethem successful. It helps. But if they don’t know how to read, write, and add/subtract, no building, no techie gadget, etc., will propel them in life.
Citizens, I heard it straight from a BOE member last week that he doesn’t mind taking money from the state level because it didn’t come from the local budget. When our own elected offi cials are so blind to the fact that government doesn’t have money unless they take it from me and you, we’re in trouble. This type of thinking is “progressive” and dangerous. And makes me furious! Especially when the board member is a mem-ber of the GOP.
So, Mr. Editor, I say to you, as well, we don’t need to show up at a groundbreaking ceremony to show our students we love and support them. We need to show the parents in this community we care about them. We care that they are strug-gling. We care by not hitting them with higher taxes. We care that they live in safe neighborhoods and that the kids have a safe place to go when the school’s doors are locked. We care that parents can take care of their families. And that it is not government’s responsibility to do everything for us.
What a concept: Empowering individuals! That’s something we could sing about.

with us at the feasibility of this venture. Collec-tively, we have talked with many local residents who are enthusiasti-cally supportive of the idea. We have visited other used bookstores in Moore, Wake, and Orange counties to learn from their experiences – what has contributed to their successes and what have been their challenges, identifying key issues in advance to map out our priorities and concerns. Specifi cally here in San-ford, we hope to fulfi ll a need for a retail outlet for affordable book purchas-ing and generate dollars to supplement current funding for our non-prof-it organizations, which provide vital services for children and families of our community.
Q: How would the Co-alition for Families
and the Lee County PFC benefi t from its creation?
A: Our organizations have similar mis-
sions, that is, supporting children and families to reach their full potential – thus enriching their
quality of life and that of our community.
In our society literacy is an absolute! Being able to read, comprehend and interpret the written word, and problem solve, are essential to success in school and later life. The earlier we address literacy as a community, the more successful our children will be in school, the high school drop-out rate will decrease, and citizens will be better prepared for the future workforce. Because of our similar missions and our history of working together on other projects, this joint endeavor seemed to be a good fi t for LCPFC and the Coalition for Families.
Promoting literacy is key to both of our non-profi t organizations and this bookstore will serve as one avenue of provid-ing books in print at an affordable cost for all families. In addition, we envision other offerings to include on-site events focused on a theme or book with appeal to varying ages, especially children, preschool to adulthood. Other items may be added later if the community indi-cates a desire, i.e., CDs, DVDs, audio books. We hope the chosen loca-tion will have adequate space for small reading areas in a comfy set-ting or hosting of local book clubs or gatherings centered on literature. Our ultimate goal: to sell books affordably to sup-port the development of literacy and the mission of two non-profi ts whose services are focused on needs of children and their families. With budget cuts to grants and the negative economic impact on traditional fundraising strategies, we have found our budgets getting tighter each year and our boards struggling with the de-mand for more services with fewer dollars. We, like other non-profi ts, recognize the need to embrace entrepreneur-
ship as a means of supplementing tradi-tional funding streams to sustain services.
Q: How do you envi-sion the store’s
operation? For example, how would the books be gathered? How would the store be staffed?
A: As stated earlier, we envision the book-
store to be located in the downtown area of San-ford with hours of opera-tion similar to downtown businesses, but fl exible if community feedback indicates other needs. We will rely on the gen-erosity of local citizens to donate books from their overfl owing home libraries or boxes stored in the garage or attic. As a non-profi t, receipts will be provided for book donations for donor tax reporting, if requested. Drop-off hours will be advertised and posted for donors’ convenience. The bookstore will also rely heavily on volun-teers who offer their time and/or talents to per-form various tasks, i.e., building bookshelves, receiving and sorting books, serving as store clerk, pricing books, shelving, etc. We hope the volunteers will keep the need for employees to a minimum, thus keeping overhead costs down.
Our most challeng-ing need currently is to secure start-up dollars needed to purchase or build shelving, pay utility deposits, storage signage, and operational expenses for the fi rst few months. An opening date will be announced, hopefully to be set for early fall.
Q: The LCPFC is already involved in
Dolly Parton’s “Imagina-tion Library.” How would this program and the used bookstore comple-ment each other?
A: As community sponsor of the Dolly
Parton Imagination Li-brary, LCPFC continues to register young chil-dren (birth to age 5) who receive a free book monthly by mail from the Dollywood Foundation. The goal is to get quality literature in the hands of children and parents at an early age, to encour-age parents to read and interact through lan-
guage with their children, and to develop positive attitudes toward reading at an early age when the foundation for learning is established.
To date, nearly 1,100 children have been served with 850 currently receiving their monthly free book at no cost to the families. To sustain this program, LCPFC depends on local support through fundraising and generous donors. Currently, the annual cost to serve the program participants is approximately $25,000. As a partner in the used bookstore venture, LCPFC plans to use dol-lars generated through book sales to supple-ment the funding for this literacy program. Again, both activities support development of early literacy — an essential to success and quality of life for our young and future citizens.
Q: How can people get involved?
A: As stated earlier, we will rely heav-
ily on volunteers to ensure the success of this venture. Interested persons can complete an interest survey by going to www.surveymonkey.com/s/p7z8vhl or drop by the LCPFC offi ce at 143 Chatham St. to respond via hard copy. There are multiple tasks for which volunteers will be needed, i.e., dona-tion of books, funds or materials for start-up, professional services; preparation for opening/building/installing shelv-ing, organizing books by category, publicizing through distribution of printed materials, speaking to a group, and word-of-mouth. After opening, volunteers will be needed to serve as sales persons in the store, coordinate volun-teer schedules, organize and shelve books, and tasks related to operat-ing a storefront business. The more volunteers we have, the lower the overhead costs will be, which will generate more dollars to support the services provided by LCPFC and Coalition for Families.

Teacher gets prison for sex with student
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A North Carolina high school teacher has been sentenced to at least two years in prison after admitting she had sex with a student last year.
Multiple media outlets reported that 32-year-old Amy Elizabeth Yarbrough of Winston-Salem pleaded guilty to seven counts of sexual activity with a student and three counts of indecent liberties with a student.
Yarbrough had been suspended from Atkins High School since her arrest in December. The Winston-Sa-lem/Forsyth County school board is to vote later this month on whether to fi re her.
Yarbrough apologized for the relationship with the 16-year-old male student.
Judge Patrice Hinnant sentenced Yarbrough to 24 to 30 months in prison, one year of probation and ordered her to register as a sex offender for 30 years. She is also barred from teaching in North Carolina.
Airport to build new luggage screening system
CHARLOTTE (AP) — A North Carolina airport plans to build a $50 million automated system to screen checked luggage for explo-sives.
The Charlotte Observer reported Friday that construc-tion will begin later this year at Charlotte/Douglas Inter-national Airport and likely will take two years to fi nish.
The Transportation Security Administration says the new system will save taxpayers money and get bags onto airplanes faster.
The Charlotte airport now uses a stand-alone explosive detection machine, which handles about 160 bags per hour. The TSA says a ma-chine with the new system can handle 500 bags per
hour.About 50 airports nation-
wide have the inline baggage screening system.
Couple killed as they try to sell car
SALISBURY (AP) — A North Carolina couple has been shot to death at a business where they had gone to sell a car.
Multiple media outlets reported the Catawba County couple was killed in Salisbury late Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators say the vic-tims were 72-year-old Jerry Bullin and his 70-year-old wife, Jo Anne, of Conover.
Twenty-fi ve-year-old Freder-ick Hedgepeth of Charlotte has been charged with mur-der, armed robbery, larceny of a vehicle and conspiracy.
The Rowan County Sheriff’s Offi ce says Hedgepeth worked at the car-custom-izing business where the couple was killed.
ECU med school offers guaranteed admission
GREENSBORO (AP) — A North Carolina medical school is offering guaran-teed admission to students from two other state univer-sities in hopes of increas-ing the number of doctors working in underserved areas.
Multiple media outlets reported that East Carolina University in Greenville will guarantee admission to two students each from North Carolina A&T in Greensboro and the University of North Carolina-Pembroke.
East Carolina has used the program to offer its top undergraduates admission to medical school with-out competing with other students or take the Medical College Admission Test.
Students at A&T and UNC-Pembroke will have to maintain at least a 3.5 grade point average and be North Carolina residents.
STATE BRIEFS
Oil may be headed for Outer BanksRALEIGH (AP) —
Though oil from the Gulf of Mexico spill will even-tually slide up the East Coast, scientists say the impact along the Atlantic seaboard will be minimal compared to the disas-trous scene playing out in Louisiana.
Because the weathering journey from the site where the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded is so long, the crude reaching eastern beaches at the peak of tourist season will likely come in nothing more than a smattering of tar balls. Environmental damage will be minimal, with only
the slimmest chance of oil-blanketed beaches and struggling wildlife.
“It will be more a matter of curiosity than anything else,” said Larry Cahoon, a professor of bi-ology and marine biology at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
For vacationers eyeing their summer plans, it’s been much more than a curiosity so far, especially after a National Center for Atmospheric Research model projected this week that parts of the oil spill could reach North Caroli-na within the next month. Although the model deter-
mined that East Coast oil would be heavily diluted, the graphics showed an ominous color spreading along the coast.
On Tybee Island, Ga., Stacye Jarrell has been fi elding phone calls from worried customers who’ve booked rental homes and condos through her busi-ness. Jarrell said several have cited the center’s projection, which shows a possibility of oil creeping perilously close to Geor-gia’s 100-mile coastline.
“We’ve had a lot of calls from people who are very concerned,” said Jarrell, owner of Oceanfront Cot-
tage Rentals on the tourist-dependent island 18 miles east of Savannah. “I think everyone is suffi ciently terrifi ed.”
She’s been trying to calm concerned custom-ers with details about Georgia’s unique geog-raphy. The Georgia coast makes up the westernmost part of the eastern sea-board, and the Gulf Stream threatening to carry oil up the Atlantic coast is about 70 miles from Georgia’s beaches.
“We believe truly that the Gulf Stream is going to be our biggest defense,” Jarrell said.

pool of money, and for making its resources avail-able to all regardless of citizenship.
The group was one of a handful of nonprofi ts to ask for some emergency county funding at a time when charitable organiza-tions are being wracked by shrinking grant pools and pennypinching donors.
HAVEN, which makes ends meet through federal and state grants as well as donations and a local thrift store, has seen its grants cut by approximately 15 percent over the last two years, according to agency Executive Director Kay Ring.
County commissioners agreed during a budget workshop Thursday to include $10,000 in fund-ing for the agency, with the contingency that the board can always add or subtract dollars later during the planning process.
Board of Commission-ers Chairman Richard Hayes said Friday that he doesn’t share Shook’s concerns.
“My attitude is one of a sense of humanity fi rst, serving the well-being of people who are in great dis-tress and worrying about those questions of nation-ality later,” Hayes said.
He added that any assis-tance provided by commis-sioners won’t be made into a yearly cash-injection for nonprofi ts.
County offi cials are spending the money to
help the best organizations in a diffi cult year, Hayes said.
The cash straits come at a time when locals are asking for more help.
Ring said her orga-nization, which mainly works with Sanford and Lee County residents, has already served as many people in 2010 as it did in all of 2009, purely through increased demand.
“As a community, we need to step up and take care of our own,” she said.
The agency’s services include counseling for victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence, as well as a 24-hour crisis phone line, court and hospital advocacy, professional training and emergency transportation and shelter.
HAVEN isn’t the only agency struggling with shrinking cashfl ow and growing needs.
The board is also bud-geting $20,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sanford/Lee County, $10,000 for Lee County Industries, $12,000 for Sanford’s Temple Theatre and $5,000 for The Helping Hand Clinic.
Lee County Industries helps connect individuals with disabilities to work, and the Helping Hand Clinic provides medical assistance for low-income locals.
Shook, who serves as commissioners’ liasion to the Social Services board, echoed her comments Friday, arguing that the agency failed to spend almost $7,000 in available federal Temporary Assis-tance to Needy Families, or TANF, money and has
referred at least one illegal immigrant to receive TANF assistance.
TANF money is used to provide cash assistance for low-income families.
Shook said the individ-ual failed to qualify for the TANF funding, but their re-ferral by HAVEN indicates the agency is spending its resources to help people who are not in the country legally.
“As somebody with taxing authority and the ability to hand out taxpayer dollars, I feel very strong and I know a lot of people here feel this way too that if you are not here legally, you are not eligible for tax-payer benefi ts,” she said.
Shook said local faith-based communities and churches could step up to help immigrants, but the money should not be pulled from taxpayer revenues.
Ring defended her group’s practices Friday, arguing that HAVEN is pro-hibited through its grant funding to inquire about an individual’s citizenship status.
HAVEN’s grants would be revoked if it was re-ported for doing so, she said, adding that citizen-ship shouldn’t be a factor anyway.
“If you were sitting in your home and someone came pounding at your door saying they had a car accident and they’re bat-tered and bloody, would you ask them for ID or their green card before you dialed 911?” Ring said. “No, you wouldn’t do that, and it’s the same way with us.”
Meanwhile, Ring
attributed the leftover TANF money to the time demands of helping locals apply for the funding.
She said applications for TANF must be submit-ted by a certain deadline, and that’s not always easy to coordinate that process for scores of low-income locals.
The discussion is likely to come up in future Board of Commissioners meet-ings as members steer a $60.6 million spending package toward a June 21 approval date.
Shook agreed to include the HAVEN funding in the budget Thursday with the understanding that it could be removed during later conversations.
According to Hayes, that money should stay.
“The HAVEN has done a magnifi cent job in help-ing so many women who have no place else to go,” he said. “I am very sup-portive of what they do and I hope we will not change our good will toward them.”
Board of Commission-ers Vice Chairman Larry “Doc” Oldham said illegal immigrants shouldn’t have access to taxpayer funds, but agencies like HAVEN are limited in how they choose who to serve.
“If somebody’s standing at your door hungry, most of the time you hand them something to eat,” Oldham said. “You don’t ask them where they’re from.”
Commissioners’ next scheduled meeting is set for 3 p.m. Monday, although no offi cial action will likely be taken on the budget until June 21.

Obama to choose Clapper as next intelligence chief
WASHINGTON (AP) — A person familiar with the situ-ation says President Barack Obama plans to nominate Pentagon offi cial James Clapper to be his next intel-ligence chief despite objec-tions from Capitol Hill.
Clapper, a retired Air Force general, is the Pentagon’s top intelligence offi cial. He’s expected to be nominated in a Rose Garden ceremony Saturday morning.
If confi rmed, Clapper would replace retired Adm. Dennis Blair, who resigned after frequent clashes with the White House. But Clapper’s combative sparring during hearings has made him an unpopu-lar choice with some in Congress. His critics also question whether he will be able to counter Obama’s intelligence inner circle at the NSC and CIA.
Stocks plunge to 4-month low onemployment report
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell to their lowest level in four months Friday after the government said hiring remains weak and another European country warned its economy was in trouble.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 323 points to close below 10,000. It was the lowest fi nish since February and the third-worst slide of the year.
Major indexes all lost more than 3 percent. The drop pushed the market back into “correction” mode, meaning a decline of at least 10 percent from a recent high.
Interest rates slid after traders shoveled money into the safety of Treasurys.
Retailers were among the hardest-hit stocks after in-vestors bet that a weak job market would discourage consumers from spending. Macy’s fell 6.5 percent. Financial stocks also fell sharply on concerns that borrowers would continue having problems paying their bills.
School ends ‘Beat the Jew’ game; 7 face discipline
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Seven seniors at a Southern California high school were facing disciplin-ary action for participating in a game called “Beat the Jew” in which losers were subjected to “incineration” or “enslavement,” a school administrator said Friday.
The game involved some students playing the role of Nazis who blindfolded and dropped off other students playing Jews who must fi nd their way back to the cam-pus, said Sherry Johnstone, assistant superintendent of personnel for Desert Sands Unifi ed School District.
It was not immediately clear what either punish-ment comprised for losing players, she said.
Seven seniors at La Quinta High School could be suspended or barred from graduation, among other measures, Johnstone said.
Kagan on abortion, assisted suicide in fi les
WASHINGTON (AP) — As an aide to former President Bill Clinton, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan helped defend her boss’ veto of a measure that would have banned late-term abortions with few ex-ceptions, according to fi les handed over to Congress Friday.
Kagan’s memos and notes — part of a 46,500-page batch of records released by the William J. Clinton Presi-dential Library — reveal her role as the administration was playing defense against a Republican Congress that was trying to impose new limits on abortion rights.
On the late-term abortion bill, “I support an exception that takes effect only when a woman faces real, serious health consequences,” Kagan handwrote on the draft of a letter Clinton was penning to a Catholic bishop dismayed by the veto.
Millionaire’s test rocket reaches orbit on 1st try
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A multimillionaire’s test rocket blasted off on its maiden voyage Friday and successfully reached orbit in a dry run for NASA’s push to go commercial.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket achieved Earth orbit nine minutes into the fl ight as planned, drawing praise from NASA, the White House and others eager for the company to start resupplying the International Space Station.
“This has really been a fantastic day,” said an exu-berant Elon Musk, SpaceX’s founder. He said Friday’s launch helps vindicate Presi-dent Barack Obama’s plan to give private companies the job of ferrying cargo and ultimately people to the space station, freeing up NASA to aim for true outer space.
WORLD BRIEFS
Obama asks cut in oil tax breaksPITTSBURGH (AP)
— President Barack Obama pressed Congress to scrap billions in oil company tax breaks and pass legislation to help the nation kick a danger-ous “fossil fuel addiction” Wednesday, trying to channel disgust over the worsening oil disaster into a force for clean energy.
Seeking opportunity in a crisis, Obama argued for action in Congress as crews struggled into a sev-enth week to contain BP’s mangled oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. He urged lawmakers to shift the tax-break money toward clean-energy research and approve a major energy bill, now stalled in the Senate, that would slap a price on carbon emis-sions.
“Our continued depen-dence on fossil fuels will jeopardize our national security,” he declared. “It will smother our planet. And it will continue to put our economy and our environment at risk.”
Among the costs, Obama said in a speech at Carnegie Mellon Univer-sity, is the risk that comes with drilling deep below offshore waters to fi nd oil. He received sustained ap-plause when he said, “We have to acknowledge that an America that runs sole-ly on fossil fuels should not be the vision that we have for our children and grandchildren.”
Obama’s tough words
about Big Oil came as he and oil giant BP face growing unhappiness from a public watching the disaster unfold day by day. What started with an oil rig explosion on April 20 has become the worst spill in U.S. history, with oil reaching shorelines and still gushing with no permanent fi x in sight.
The Justice Depart-ment is investigating, and Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday of BP: “My guess is that there are all kinds of discussions about whether or not they pushed the envelope with the rig operator beyond what it should be pushed to safely pursue.” Biden, in a pretaped interview for Charlie Rose’s PBS talk show, said that if any civil or criminal violations are found “they will be pursued to the extent of the law.”
The president tried to tap into the discontent and use it as an urgent call for legislative action.
“If we refuse to take into account the full cost of our fossil fuel addiction — if we don’t factor in the environmental costs and national security costs and true economic costs — we will have missed our best chance to seize a clean energy future,” he said.
Obama faces seri-ous diffi culties in push-ing for the bill he wants — a shrinking legislative window in a divisive elec-tion year, the distracting nature of the oil spill crisis itself and the contentious idea of putting a price on carbon pollution.
The House last year narrowly passed legisla-tion creating a system, known as “cap and trade,” to limit global warming emissions and auction
allowances to polluters. A bipartisan effort on a dif-ferent version of climate and energy legislation in the Senate has been in the works for months but has no clear path ahead.
The president offered his most determined promise to date.
“The votes may not be there right now, but I intend to fi nd them in the coming months,” Obama declared.
He added, “The next generation will not be held hostage to energy sources from the last cen-tury.”
Tucked in there was a reminder from the president that he does support more offshore drilling at home. Indeed, Obama was viewed by environmentalists as proposing giveaways to the oil industry when he announced a limited expansion of offshore drilling in March.
Since the Gulf explo-sion, Obama has pulled back on some of those plans and ordered an in-vestigation into the spill. In his speech, he made sure to say that any new drilling would be just one part of an energy strategy, and only as a short-term bridge toward a clean energy economy.
Obama has consistent-ly championed alterna-tive energy sources and adopted energy effi ciency programs and standards for cars and homes.

Anger grows as disaster reaches PanhandlePENSACOLA BEACH,
Fla. (AP) — The smell of oil hangs heavy in the sea air. Children with plastic shovels scoop up clumps of goo in the waves. Beachcombers collect tarballs as if they were seashells.
The BP catastrophe arrived with the tide on the Florida Panhandle’s white sands Friday as the company worked to adjust a cap over the
gusher in a desperate and untested bid to arrest what is already the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. The widening scope of the slow-motion disaster deepened the anger and despair just as President Barack Obama arrived for his third visit to the stricken Gulf Coast.
The oil has now reached the shores of four Gulf states — Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama
and Florida — turn-ing its marshlands into death zones for wildlife and staining its beaches rust and crimson in an affl iction that some said brought to mind the plagues and punishments of the Bible.
“In Revelations it says the water will turn to blood,” said P.J. Hahn, director of coastal zone management for Louisi-ana’s Plaquemines Parish. “That’s what it looks like out here — like the Gulf is bleeding. This is going to choke the life out of everything.”
He added: “It makes me want to cry.”
Six weeks after the April 20 oil rig explosion that killed 11 workers, the well has leaked some-where between 22 million and 47 million gallons of oil, according to govern-
ment estimates.A device resembling
an upside-down fun-nel was lowered over the blown-out well a mile beneath the sea late Thursday to try to capture most of the oil and direct it to a ship on the surface. But crude continued to escape into the Gulf through vents designed to prevent ice crystals from clogging the cap. Engineers hoped to close several vents throughout the day.
“Progress is being made, but we need to caution against overopti-mism,” said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the government’s point man for the crisis. Early in the day, he guessed that the cap was collecting 42,000 gallons a day — less than one-tenth of the amount leaking from the well.

The Sanford Herald / Saturday, June 5, 2010 / 9AEntertainmentCADMIUM SCARE
Bret Michaels back on the road
LOS ANGELES (AP) — No groupies. No after-parties. No stage diving.
These aren’t typical doc-tor’s orders, but bandana-clad Poison frontman Bret Michaels is no average patient. Despite suffering several medical maladies over the past two months, the “Celebrity Apprentice” champion is moving forward with his tour, album and a new VH1 reality series that promises to show the rocker in a new light.
“I think this is good for my soul,” Michaels said in a phone interview Thursday from his latest concert stop in Minneapolis. “Honestly, I’m taking every precau-tion. I’m not doing anything stupid. I’m going on stage and telling the fans that I’m going to give 100 percent of everything I’ve got, but if it’s only 75 or 80 percent, I think they will understand.”
Michaels underwent an emergency appendectomy in April and was expected to make a full recovery. Days later, he was rushed to the hospital after com-plaining of a headache and was found to have had a brain hemorrhage. While recovering from the hemor-rhage in May, he suffered a warning stroke and was diagnosed with a hole in the heart.
“I don’t want my legacy to be that I had a brain hemor-rhage,” said Michaels. “I
want it to be that I rocked, I treated people with respect and I made a lot of good friends along the way. I think that came back to me when I got sick. I truly believe if you’re a good per-son, and you spread love, then that love will come back to you.”
After winning the third season of Donald Trump’s NBC reality competition “The Celebrity Apprentice” in May, Michaels surprised “American Idol” viewers when he joined fi nalist Casey James on “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” on the Fox singing contest’s ninth season fi nale. A week later, he resumed his “Custom Built” tour in Biloxi, Miss.
Heather Mills’ ex-nanny loses employment claim
LONDON (AP) — A judge on Friday rejected claims by a nanny that she was mis-treated by Paul McCartney’s ex-wife, Heather Mills.
Sara Trumble told an employment tribunal in southern England that she was hired to look after Mills and McCartney’s daughter Beatrice, now 6, but was relegated to domes-tic chores after return-ing from maternity leave in 2008. She also claimed that Mills forced her to work long hours without extra pay.
Tribunal judge Steven Vowles dismissed Trumble’sclaims for sexual discrimi-nation and unfair dismissal, saying he “did not fi nd the claimant to be a persuasive witness.”
“The claimant’s account of the respondent’s alleged animosity towards her pregnancy, maternity and childcare responsibility was not supported by the surrounding facts proved by the tribunal,” the ruling said.
Mills had denied the claims, saying she had treated 26-year-old Trumble like a daughter. She said the relationship turned sour when she refused to give the nanny money to pay for breast enlargement surgery.
Sheryl Crow adopts a second baby boy, Levi James
NEW YORK (AP) — Sh-eryl Crow is the mother of another baby boy.
The singer-songwriter announced Friday that she has adopted another son, Levi James, who was born April 30.
The 47-year-old shared the news on her website, and her publicist confi rmed the adoption.
LOS ANGELES — Cad-mium has been discovered in the painted design on “Shrek”-themed drinking glasses being sold na-tionwide at McDonald’s, forcing the burger giant to recall 12 million of the cheap U.S.-made collect-ibles while dramatically expanding contamination concerns about the toxic metal beyond imported children’s jewelry.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commis-sion, which announced the voluntary recall early Friday, warned consumers to immediately stop using the glasses; McDonald’s said it would post instruc-tions on its website next week regarding refunds.
The 16-ounce glasses, being sold for about $2 each as part of a promo-tional campaign for the movie “Shrek Forever After,” were available in four designs depicting the characters Shrek, Princess Fiona, Puss in Boots and Donkey.
In the animated com-edy, which debuted May 21 as the latest installment of the successful Dream-Works Animation fran-chise, the voice of Shrek is performed by Mike Myers of “Austin Powers” fame, Cameron Diaz performs as Princess Fiona, Antonio
Banderas as Puss in Boots and Eddie Murphy voices Donkey. The movie has been No. 1 at the box offi ce since its release.
The CPSC noted in its recall notice that “long-term exposure to cad-mium can cause adverse health effects.” Cadmium is a known carcinogen that research shows also can cause bone softening and severe kidney problems.
In the case of the Shrek-themed glassware, the potential danger would be long-term exposure to low levels of cadmium, which could leach from the paint onto a child’s hand, then enter the body if the child puts that unwashed hand to his or her mouth.
Cadmium can be used to create reds and yellows in paint. McDonald’s USA spokesman Bill Whitman said a pigment in paint
on the glasses contained cadmium.
“A very small amount of cadmium can come to the surface of the glass, and in order to be as protective as possible of children, CPSC and McDonald’s worked together on this recall,” said CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson. He would not specify the amounts of cadmium that leached from the paint in tests, but said the amounts were “slightly above the protec-tive level currently being developed by the agency.”
Wolfson said the glasses have “far less cadmium than the children’s metal jewelry that CPSC has previously recalled.”
Concerns about cad-mium exposure emerged in January, when The Asso-ciated Press reported that some items of children’s jewelry sold at major na-
tional chains contained up to 91 percent of the metal. Federal regulators worry that kids could ingest cadmium by biting, suck-ing or even swallowing contaminated pendants and bracelets.
The consumer protec-tion agency has issued three recalls this spring for jewelry highlighted in the AP stories, including products sold at Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer; at Claire’s, a major jewelry and accessories chain in North America and Eu-rope; and at discount and dollar stores.
Those recalls all involved children’s metal jewelry — and all of that jewelry was made in China.
Manufactured by ARC International of Millville, N.J., the glasses were to be sold from May 21 into June. Roughly seven million of the glasses had been sold; another ap-proximately fi ve million are in stores or have not yet been shipped, said Whitman.
Associated Press reporters tried unsuccess-fully to buy the glasses late Thursday at McDonald’s in New York, Los Angeles and northern New Jersey but were alternately told the merchandise was sold out, no longer available or “there’ll be more tomor-row.”

Israel vows to stop Irish aid ship as it nears Gaza
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel vowed Friday to keep an Irish aid ship from breaching its blockade of the impover-ished Gaza Strip, appealing to pro-Palestinian activists to dock at an Israeli port and avoid another show-down at sea.
The new effort to break the blockade will test Israel’s resolve as it faces a wave of international out-rage over its deadly naval raid of another aid ship earlier this week.
Activists on board the Irish boat, including a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, insist-ed they would not resist if Israeli soldiers tried to take over their vessel. They said they expected the 1,200-ton Rachel Corrie to reach Gaza by late Saturday morning.
Diplomatic fallout and protests across Europe and the Muslim world have increased pressure to end the embargo Israel imposed after the Islamic militant Hamas group seized power in Gaza three years ago. The blockade has plunged the territory’s 1.5 million residents deeper into poverty and sharply raised Mideast tensions as the U.S. makes a new push for regional peace.
S. Korea refers N. Korea to UN Security Council
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — South Korea offi cially referred North Korea to the U.N. Security Council Friday over the sinking of a navy ship that killed 46 sailors, taking its strongest step ever toward making the commu-nist North face international punishment.
South Korea’s U.N. Ambas-sador Park In-kook handed over a letter to Mexico’s U.N. Ambassador Claude Heller, the current Security Council president, asking for a re-sponse from the U.N.’s most powerful body to deter “any further provocations.”
North Korea has steadfast-ly denied responsibility for the sinking of the Cheonan and naval spokesman Col. Pak In Ho warned last month in comments to broadcaster AP Television News that any move to retaliate or punish Pyongyang would mean war.
Heller said he will circu-late the letter to the 14 other council members and then initiate consultations “to give an appropriate answer to this request.” He will talk to council membersbefore setting a date for the fi rst closed-door council discussion, Mexico’s U.N. spokesman Marco Morales said.
WORLD BRIEFS
Private employers hold back on hiringBy JEANNINE AVERSAAP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON — A swell in temporary gov-ernment hiring for the census drove almost all the job market’s gains last month — a huge disap-pointment to Wall Street and a sign that private employers aren’t yet confi dent enough in the recovery to start adding workers with gusto.
Daunted by the Eu-ropean debt crisis and a falling U.S. stock market at home, American busi-nesses added just 41,000 jobs in May, the fewest since January. The gov-ernment hired 10 times as many for the national census, but those posi-tions will begin to disap-pear as summer arrives.
At least on paper, the 431,000 total new jobs was the biggest gain in a decade. The unemploy-ment rate dipped to 9.7 percent from 9.9 percent, mainly because hundreds of thousands of people
gave up searching for work and were no longer counted.
“On the surface, they look great,” Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Eco-nomic Advisors, said of the numbers. “But that beauty was only skin-deep. The private sector is not out there hiring like crazy.”
Wall Street interpreted the numbers as a big letdown, a sign that the
recovery, if not derailed, is at least stalling. The Dow Jones industrial average sank from the opening bell and tumbled 323.31 points, its second worst slide of the year. The index closed below 10,000 for the second time in two weeks. All the major indexes were down more than 3 percent.
The new employment snapshot, released Friday by the Labor Department, indicated that many private employers are still wary of bulking up their work forces. And it suggested the economic recovery may not bring
help fast enough for mil-lions of Americans still unemployed.
The slowdown isn’t unusual for an economic recovery. Hiring can slow in one month, then accelerate the next, as was the case after the 2001 recession. But that recession was relatively brief and mild. The Great Recession wiped out so many jobs that it will take unusually strong hiring to bring substantial relief. And neither the Federal Reserve nor the Obama administration expects that to happen soon.
Nor are Americans spending as lavishly as they typically do when recessions end. Wages are barely increasing. And the stock market has taken a beating. If shoppers stay frugal, businesses could become even less confi dent about adding new workers.
The European debt crisis hurts, too.
“We had all this bad news coming out of Europe, which made em-ployers more cautious,” said Tig Gilliam, CEO of Adecco Group North America, an employment services company.

SANFORD — There’s an-other head coaching opening at Southern Lee.
And this time, it is one of the school’s most successful and veteran coaches.
Cavaliers baseball coach Matt Burnett revealed on Friday
night that he has submitted his resignation to Lee County Schools and will be mov-ing on from Southern Lee this summer.
Burnett said that a series of changes at the
school and for his family precipi-tated the move.
“With all the changes going on in terms of myself, my family and everything else, we felt like it would be best for me to step back and look and see if there are other options out there.”
Burnett did not specifi cally address what many of those changes were, but did say South-
ern Lee’s administration had something to do with his leaving.
“There’s been a lot of change in terms of the administration, and in terms of our program with a class that’s about to graduate after four great years,” Burnett said. “It was the right time.”

WILKES SAYS WOODEN IS LUCID BUT FRAIL
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former UCLA basketball coach and Hall of Famer John Wooden remains hospitalized with little informa-tion being released about his condition, although a recent visitor describes him as lucid but frail.
Former UCLA and Los Angeles Lakers star Jamaal Wilkes told The Associated Press on Friday that he visited Wooden in his hospital room twice this week and they chatted briefl y.
Wilkes says Wooden recog-nized him and that the coach’s mind remains “sharp as a tack,” although he says the 99-year-old Wooden’s body is “very, very frail.”
In addition to his grown son and daughter and other family members, Wilkes says Wooden has had several visitors, includ-ing former UCLA star Bill Walton.

SANFORD’S STURDIVANT WINS AMATEUR EVENT
SEVEN LAKES — Sanford’s Craig Sturdivant used a back-side 34, highlighted by birdies on three consecutive holes to help him fashion a 2-under 70 at Seven Lakes Country Club on Thursday.
Sturdivant fi nished three strokes clear of Pinehurst’s Rick Luzar to take top honors in the Championship Flight of the Senior Amateur Golf Tour.
After missing the fi rst eight events of the season, Sturdi-vant has steadily moved up the leaderboard in Tour Points Standings and stands alone in sixth place. His 1.4 Tour Handi-cap is the 3rd lowest among Pinehurst Tour Championship Flight members of the Senior Tour.

Brown back at work, mum on futureBy MIKE CRANSTONAP Sports Writer
CHARLOTTE — Larry Brown was energetic, shouting instructions and stopping play continuously to correct mistakes.
Everything appeared to be normal at the Charlotte Bobcats practice facility on Friday morning — until the pre-draft workout ended and the usually talkative Brown went silent.
Given a chance to clear up whether he’ll return for a third season coach-ing the Bobcats, Brown declined to talk to reporters.
“I don’t have anything to say,” a smiling Brown said before disappearing down a stairway toward the locker room.
And with that, owner Michael Jordan’s uncertain offseason continued.
There are numerous signs that the 69-year-old Brown, who has lamented the time spent away from his family in suburban Philadelphia, will be back in Charlotte after leading the Bobcats to their fi rst playoff berth.
A person with knowledge of the situation told The As-sociated Press on Thursday that Brown, who has two years left on his contract, is leaning toward returning. Assistant coach Dave Han-ners said Friday that Brown was energized and drawing up plays this week at the team offi ces.
Brown has said he won’t coach for anyone other than Jordan, and on April 30 said he didn’t want this “to drag on” too deep into the offseason.
Five weeks later, it still is.Brown, a Hall of Famer
and the only coach to NBA and NCAA titles, has a track record of quick exits.

Gasol’s toughness grows in 3rd FinalsBy GREG BEACHAMAP Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES — Pau Gasol used to spend this week in Paris each year, sitting in the shade at Roland Garros and watching Rafael Nadal torment his op-ponents on the clay courts.
Gasol’s gracious summers
ended when the Los Angeles Lakers acquired Gasol just over two years ago from the woebe-gone Memphis Grizzlies, put-ting him in the thick of the NBA fi nals for the past three seasons.
His good friend Rafa is on his own these days — and judg-ing by Gasol’s performance in Game 1 against the Boston
Celtics, the 7-foot Spaniard is growing into a world-beater himself.
“I love tennis, but this is re-ally the way I’d prefer to spend the early part of the summer,” Gasol said.

DUBLIN, Ohio — Rickie Fowler, the new kid in golf, gave himself a chance Friday to be the next kid to win on the PGA Tour.
The 21-year-old Fowler ran off three straight birdies late in his round for a 6-under 66 to tie the 36-hole record at the Memorial Tournament and take a three-shot lead over Justin Rose into the weekend at soggy Muirfi eld
Village.Fowler was at 13-under 131.
That tied the tournament record set by Scott Hoch in 1987.

FERRY RESIGNS AS GM OF THE CAVALIERS
CLEVELAND (AP) — Danny Ferry resigned as general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers, a sur-prise decision that complicates the most important offseason in team history.
Ferry’s departure Friday after fi ve seasons occurred two weeks after the club fi red coach Mike Brown following the team’s second-round loss to the Boston Celtics in the NBA playoffs. It also comes as the team is making plans to try to re-sign two-time MVP LeBron James, who will be a free agent next month.
Ferry was in the fi nal month of his contract. He said the decision not to renew his contract was a mutual one with owner Dan Gilbert.
“I thought it was important that there was as much clarity as pos-sible in the organization at this time, so things could start moving forward,” Ferry told The AP “It’s important then whomever is hired as the head coach knows, feels and understands the people he is going to work with.”

No hard feelings between Burton and Busch
UPCOMING
LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Jeff Burton jokes he gets all the drama in his life he needs from his 14-year-old daughter, he doesn’t need a feud with Kyle Busch to add to the heartburn.
So forgive the veteran driver if he’s not exactly in the mood to add his name to the growing list of driv-ers who fi nd themselves at odds with the NASCAR’s resident bad boy.
Is Burton still a little an-noyed at Busch for knock-ing him out of contention at the end of last week’s race at Charlotte? Sure. Just don’t expect Burton to go looking for retribution on Sunday at Pocono.
“I’m not interested in a weekly confrontation,” Burton said Friday. “I don’t like yearly confrontations much less weekly. I’m here to race Pocono and go out and win this race and I
know he is too.”It’s what they were
doing following the fi nal restart Charlotte Motor Speedway last Sunday. Both cars were running in the top 10 when Busch ran out of room trying to squeeze underneath Bur-ton and ended up slicing Burton’s left front tire.
Burton immediately checked up and tumbled through the fi eld to a 25th-place fi nish. He angrily chased down Busch on pit road immediately follow-ing the race, a rare public display of anger by one of NASCAR’s most respected and levelheaded drivers.
Looking back, Bur-ton admits he may have stepped over the line. He’s not exactly sorry about it.
“I felt better,” he said.So much so Burton was
over it by Monday morn-ing. That might not have
happened a decade ago, when every perceived slight would be chronicled and stored away for later use. These days Burton has more pressing needs to worry about: namely trying to keep his No. 31 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet inside the top 12 in points.
Burton is eighth in the standings halfway through the 26-race regular season and can’t become preoc-cupied with trying to fi nd Busch’s No. 18 Toyota dur-ing a race to exact a little payback. There’s too much at stake.
“I like racing with Kyle and I don’t have any problems with Kyle,” said Burton, who will start 13th on Sunday. “He knows exactly how I feel and we can talk about it.”
Not that the two are go-ing to hug it out anytime
soon. Both say there’s no need.
Besides, if Busch had to spend time trying to patch things up with every driver he’s ticked off, he’d never make it out of the hauler and onto the track.
Last week it was Burton. The week before it was Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin, who Busch said he was going to “kill” after Hamlin knocked Busch out of the way during the All-Star race.
The circumstances of these run-ins hardly seem to matter. Busch has no illusions about where the blame will fall whenever he mixes it up with an op-posing driver.
“You know I don’t get the benefi t of the doubt, ever,” Busch said while let-ting out a little laugh. “So it’s all my fault.”
Kyle Busch wins pole for his 200th Cup start
LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Kyle Busch will start his 200th career Sprint Cup race at the front of the fi eld.
Winner of two of the last four races, Busch turned a lap at 169.485 mph Friday to win the pole for Sunday’s NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway and extend a midsea-son hot streak that has lifted him to second in the points standings.
Now the driver that fans love to hate hopes to parlay his fi rst pole at the 2.5 mile-long Tricky Triangle into a respect-able fi nish. His best fi nish at Pocono was fourth in 2005, and he hasn’t fi nished higher than 16th over the last two years.
“It would mean a lot,”
Busch said when asked about getting a win in his milestone start. “This is a place I’ve struggled at ... You can come around here and it can be really, really frustrating at this place because it is so long, you can beat your head against the headrest.”
Busch won his second pole of the season, claim-ing victory at Richmond last month after starting up front.
Clint Bowyer was qualifi ed second, while Dale Earnhardt, Jr., was third.
Jeff Burton qualifi ed 13th. Busch and Burton had a run-in during last week’s race at Charlotte after Busch’s late error sent Burton tumbling to a 25th-place fi nish.

Attempts to reach Lee County Schools and South-ern Lee Principal Bonnie Almond were unsuccessful Friday night.
Burnett said he is actively looking for a posi-tion that will enable him to keep teaching and coach-ing varsity high school baseball.
“I love teaching, and I love teaching the game of baseball,” he said. “I’m looking for another op-portunity to continue with that.”
Internet rumors had been circulating for about a month that Burnett was going to be let go by the school system. Burnett had little to say about those rumors.
“Anytime somebody steps away from a job there’s always going to be rumors,” Burnett said. “I don’t think I want to ad-dress them one by one and I don’t feel like I need to ad-dress them. If I address one of them, I’d have to address them all.”
When contacted in May seeking comment about the rumors of Burnett’s contract not be-ing renewed, Lee County Schools Superintendent
Jeff Moss released a state-ment.
“The Board of Educa-tion is the fi nal authority on all personnel decisions with regards to hiring, terminations, and contract nonrenewal. Those deci-sions will not be made un-til the June board meeting.”
The Board meets on Tuesday.
Burnett was Southern Lee’s second baseball coach, taking over after the program’s fi rst coach Carl Boykin resigned for health reasons. After a successful run as the pitching coach at perennial powerhouse Western Guilford, Burnett
built the Cavaliers into one of the top-echelon teams in the Cape Fear Valley Conference.
He guided the Cavaliers to a 62-39 record in his four seasons at the helm, good for a .614 winning percent-age. Southern Lee has won at least 15 games in each of the last three seasons under Burnett and went to the state playoffs in her of his four seasons. The Cava-liers won the conference championship in Burnett’s second year in 2008, lead-ing to his receiving the league’s Coach of the Year award. Southern Lee never fi nished lower than fourth
in the conference stand-ings with Burnett.
Burnett said he will have fond memories of his time at Southern Lee.
“I’ll always be thankful to Southern Lee, to (former principal) Hans Lassiter and to (former principal) Rob Dietrich for all of their support,” Burnett said. “I’m thankful to all the parents and to the players for tak-ing the program where we did.
“I just felt like it was time to step away.”
Burnett said he will miss his players the most.
“I love those kids,” he said. “There’s a lot for them
to be proud of; they are all an integral part of a South-ern Lee baseball tradition that hopefully will contin-ue forever and ever. Those guys did everything right and did everything that was ever asked of them for four years.
“They’ve got a friend for all of their lives in me. I’ll always be just a phone call away if there’s ever anything they need.”
Burnett is the second
high-profi le coach to re-sign from Southern Lee in the last two months.
On May 18, football coach Eric Puryear stepped down after months of rumors swirling about his job status. Puryear lasted just a year at Southern Lee, a winless season that came on the heels of another former football coach, Bill Maczko, was forced out of the program after a single season in 2008.
Last-place Orioles fi re manager
BALTIMORE (AP) — Dave Trembley was fi red Friday as manager of the Baltimore Orioles, who have the worst record in the major leagues and are staggering toward a franchise-record 13th con-secutive losing season.
Third base coach Juan Samuel was appointed interim manager by presi-dent of baseball operations Andy MacPhail, who hired Trembley to take over on an interim basis for Sam Per-lozzo on June 18, 2007.
The Orioles opened with 16 losses in 18 games, are 15-39 and coming off an 0-6 road trip in which they were outscored 34-8 in Toronto and at Yankee Stadium.
“The results on the fi eld were not what any of us would have hoped for, and I understand that the organization felt the time was right to move in a dif-ferent direction,” Trembley said in a statement. “While I am disappointed at the outcome, I feel it was a privilege to wear the Orioles uniform each day.”
E-mail hints at Texas in Big Ten ad-dition talks
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An e-mail sent by the president of Ohio State to the commissioner of the Big Ten hints that the confer-ence is pursuing Texas as part of its expansion plans.
Ohio State President Gordon Gee told Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany in an April 20 e-mail that Gee had spoken with University of Texas president Bill Pow-ers.
In the e-mail obtained by The Associated Press, Gee writes that Powers would welcome a call to say they have a “Tech” problem.
It’s not clear what that means, but Texas Tech is one of Texas’ rivals in the Big 12 conference.
In another e-mail, Gee told the Big Ten commissioner that the conference controls its own destiny, but must move swiftly.
The e-mails were fi rst reported by The Columbus Dispatch.
Indians Sizemore has knee surgery, out for year
CLEVELAND (AP) — In-dians center fi elder Grady Sizemore will miss the re-mainder of the season after undergoing microfracture
surgery on his left knee.Sizemore underwent a 90-
minute operation on Friday in Vail, Colo. The team says the procedure performed by Dr. Richard Steadman in-cluded microfracture, which involves the drilling of small holes into the kneecap to stimulate the growth of cartilage.
The Indians said Size-more, a three-time All-Star, will need six to nine months to recover. He is expected to participate in exhibition games next March when the Indians open training camp in Goodyear, Ariz.
The loss of Sizemore is another major blow to the Indians, who are in last place in the AL Central and struggling to sell tickets.
Tebow gets extra reps for Broncos
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Tim Tebow received a sizable share of the snaps in passing camp Friday.
Just don’t read too much into it. The Denver Broncos rookie quarterback isn’t be-ing handed the keys to the offense.
Not yet.With starting quarterback
Kyle Orton getting the day off and third-stringer Tom Brandstater being released Friday morning, Tebow and Brady Quinn were the only signal callers on the fi eld.
Tebow defi nitely appreci-ated the extra work, looking sharp on out routes and a little shaky with throws across the middle.
That inconsistency comes with being a rookie, he insisted.
“Got to continue to play faster,” the former Florida Gators standout said. “Faster in my head, faster with my feet. When you do that, you’re up to the speed of the defense and you can play at that level.”
SEC distributes record $209 million in revenue
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Southeastern Confer-ence schools will divvy up a league-record $209 million in revenue, a nearly 58 percent increase from the previous year.
SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said Friday that the 12 member schools will receive an average of $17.3 million under the revenue sharing plan for the 2009-10 fi scal year, ending Aug. 31.
It’s the most ever paid out by the league, which distributed $132.5 million in 2008-09.
SPORTS BRIEFS
Williams sisters win doubles title
PARIS (AP) — Venus and Serena Williams have won their fourth consecutive Grand Slam doubles title and 12th overall, beating Katarina Srebotnik and Kveta Peschke 6-2, 6-3 at the French Open.
The victory by the top-seeded sisters Friday makes them only the third women’s doubles pair to win four major titles in a row. Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver did it in 1983-84, and Gigi Fernan-dez and Natasha Zvereva did it in 1992-93.
It’s the siblings’ second French Open doubles championship, but fi rst since 1999.
Soderling beats Berdych in French semis
PARIS (AP) — Robin Soderling (SOH-der-ling) has advanced to the French Open fi nal for the second year in a row by ral-lying past Tomas Berdych (TOH-mas BER-ditch) 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3.
The No. 5-seeded Soder-ling hit 18 aces Friday, overcame 63 unforced errors and swept the fi nal four games of the 3 1/2-hour match. It was only the fi fth fi ve-set win in the Swede’s career.
Soderling has a knack for upsets at Roland Garros, with victories over Rafael Nadal last year and Roger Federer this year. On Sunday, Soderling will play the winner of the second semifi nal between four-time champion Nadal and Jurgen (YUR-gen) Melzer.
Improbable pairing in Open women’s fi nal
PARIS (AP) — Francesca Schiavone has provided the better photo op, her beaming face caked with clay after she kissed the court to celebrate her semifi nal victory at the French Open.
Samantha Stosur has made the bigger head-lines, with three consecu-tive wins over players who have been ranked No. 1.
The headlines now come with a question mark, as in: Schiavone and Stosur? For the title at Roland Garros?

AP photo
In this fi le photo, MLB umpires, from left, Tim McClelland , Ted Barrett, Andy Fletcher, and Greg Gibson, confer before viewing video of fan interference in the outfi eld after a hit. Spurred by a blown call that cost Detroit Tigers’ Armando Galarraga a perfect game on Wednesday, June 2, 2010, commissioner Bud Selig said he would look at the big picture: the possibility of expanded the use of video reviews.
(AP) — A bouncing ball to the right side of the infi eld, a fl ip to the bag, a surprising safe call by the umpire, and a furious manager.
Nah, not the play in Detroit. We’ve seen that enough. This one came a few hours later in Seattle, far from the eye of a sports media storm.
“The replays showed he’s out, bottom line,” Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire fumed after the winning run on that disputed play Wednesday night. “It’s all out there for you, just go watch the replays.”
Which is exactly what Major League Baseball in-tends to do. Stung by the blown call that cost Ar-mando Galarraga a perfect game, commissioner Bud Selig said he would look at the big picture — the pos-sibility of expanding the use of video reviews.
The subject is certain to get addressed when
Selig’s blue-ribbon panel holds its next meeting on Thursday.
“I guarantee it,” said Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre, part of the specially picked committee. “I’m sure it’s going to be added to the agenda.”
And so starts another great debate in baseball.
“There are so many close calls in a game, so where do you draw the line?” Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle wondered. “Stolen bases, guys tagged out at home, so many plays at fi rst base that are bang-bang plays, where do you draw the line?”
Added New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter: “When does it stop, when does it start? Do you have a fl ag that you throw from the bench for chal-lenges?”
Heck, how about hav-ing a computer-simulated box call balls-and-strikes,
like they do on TV?“I don’t know about
that instant replay stuff. We might as well just build robots and put ’em out there,” Washington slugger Adam Dunn said.
Remember, it was a rash of missed calls in the middle of the 2008 season that prompted baseball to join the electronic-eye age within a few months — the NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA, NASCAR and Grand Slam tennis already used replay in some form by then.
For now, only question-able home run calls get a second look. But after a postseason fi lled with umpiring mistakes, the admission by Jim Joyce that he botched what should’ve been the fi nal out in Galarraga’s gem might spur more action.
“I think that’s going to be the play that brings instant replay into base-ball,” fan Jeff Corr said at Fenway Park.
Your call, Bud: Time for more replay in baseball?

ng toughness with every rebound and big defensive play in the Lakers’ 102-89 victory in Thursday’s open-er. He had 23 points and 14 rebounds while leading the Lakers’ physical game with a stifling, aggressive performance against Kevin Garnett, who dominated their matchup in the clubs’ 2008 finals meeting.
“I had to get myself mentally and physically ready for those types of challenges,” Gasol said Friday after the Lakers’ workout at Staples Cen-ter. “Just to be able to deliver and play the way I can perform, I had to work throughout these two years to be the kind of player that I am today.”
The Celtics don’t have Gasol to kick around any
more, and it’s giving the Lakers an early advantage. Game 2 is Sunday night at Staples Center.
Although the current Gasol, who turns 30 next month, is a sharp-elbowed low-post player who rarely backs away from a physical confrontation, he realizes he was marked as a marsh-mallow from the moment he joined the NBA in 2001.
“Most Europeans, we get that label no matter what,” Gasol said. “It’s just a given. It’s like you’ve got to prove every single game that you’re a tough player. It’s pretty interesting, but it’s more interesting that I keep (hearing about) it, which feels like there’s nothing better to talk about, which is a little sad.”
Indeed, Gasol’s 28 months with the Lakers have given him a graduate diploma in the intensity necessary to win an NBA ti-tle. Gasol’s teammates don’t
believe he fully understood it in 2008, when his arrival spurred them out of the Western Conference into the finals.
“He’s deeply a part of us now, whereas in ’08, he had been with us a few months,” Derek Fisher said. “So the expectations and what this all meant was probably still foreign for him. Having been together two-plus, three years, the connective tissues and the core of our team is just stronger.”
Gasol averaged 16.9 points and 9.3 rebounds in the 2008 playoffs, but the numbers don’t reflect the intimidation unleashed in the finals by Garnett, then a frustrated veteran in search of his first championship ring. Garnett hounded Gasol on both ends of the court, culminating in Gas-ol’s 11-point, five-turnover performance in Boston’s title-clinching victory.
years ago. Fowler didn’t turn pro until last sum-mer, yet he already has lost in a playoff last fall and finished one shot behind in the Phoenix Open in February.
“Just being in con-tention the few times I
have over the last eight months, this is by far the best I’ve felt,” Fowler said.
Defending champion Tiger Woods is starting to feel a little better, too.
Woods was just inside the projected cut line when he started, and with his lackluster play on a course that can penalize errant shots, there was some question whether
he would be around for all four rounds in his final event before the U.S. Open.
Those questions didn’t last long. He birdied three of the opening five holes, then ran off three straight birdies on his front nine to offset the few mistakes for a 69. He was at 3-un-der 141, 10 shots behind, but still playing.

DEAR ABBY: I’m working on a school project with several other girls, but I have an issue with one of them. “Sara” wanted to write the paper for our project, which is a huge part of our grade. Once she started writing it, we all realized she wasn’t very good at it. I felt I could do a better job, and asked if I could do it instead -- or help critique and edit it. Sara refuses.
I don’t want to start a fi ght or anything, but this is a large part of my grade, and the project is being entered in a contest that I really want to win. Is there a way I can get her to let me help, or should I just let it go?
— REALLY WANTS TO WIN IN OHIO
DEAR REALLY WANTS TO WIN: I’m sure your desire to win the con-test is no less strong than that of your teammates. Who submits the paper should be a decision that the majority of you agree on. Discuss your concerns with them and take a vote.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I recently had dinner with two other couples. As soon as the meal was fi nished, the woman on my left turned her back to me and leaned forward so I could neither see nor converse with the person sitting to her left. She remained like that for the duration of the dinner party.
Our friends say she wasn’t an-
gry or upset with me. She has done the same thing in other group gatherings, always with the same friend over whom she “hovers.” She will whisper to this friend and exclude everyone else.
I honestly don’t think she is aware of how rude she is being. Any idea how I might approach her without hurting her feelings?
— BLOCKED AT THE PARTY
DEAR BLOCKED: The next time it happens, speak up and say, “Excuse me, but I’m isolated over here! Would you mind if I change places with your friend, so I can participate in a conversation while you two talk?” And in the future, because this happens regularly, their preference for talking only to each other should be taken into consideration when the seating is arranged.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 27-year-old woman. Three weeks ago, I found out that my boyfriend of fi ve months, “Louie,” and I are going to have a baby. This was not planned, and not a happy revelation.
Louie and I are beginning to cope, and friends are really help-ing. My parents, however, are not. They are pushing me to marry Louie before the baby comes. I explained that I don’t want that stigma and that I would like to have a big wedding later, perhaps in 2012.
My parents disagree and want nothing to do with a big wedding down the road since I won’t marry Louie now. This will be their fi rst grandchild, and they are ruining the experience by stressing me out. By the way, because of fi nan-cial hardship, I currently live at home with them. What should I do?
— MAMA-TO-BE IN NEW JERSEY
DEAR MAMA-TO-BE: At 27 you are an adult, and presumably able to make important decisions for yourself. Do not allow yourself to be rushed into a loveless marriage that could lead to more children and a subsequent divorce. If you and Louie are still together in 2012, you can have the wedding of your dreams then. But please be aware that your parents are under no obligation to pay for it.

Happy Birthday: Pay your dues before moving on. Once you have taken care of business, the year will unfold to your liking, bringing with it new possibilities to excel. Make your environment comforting and comfort-able. What you do now will enable you to move forward without regret or worry. Your numbers are 2, 12, 14, 17, 24, 38, 42
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Taking on too much or overdoing it will cause personal problems. Instead, listen and con-sider all your options. Someone you care about may try to persuade you to engage in something that doesn’t interest you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can accomplish a lot if you are open about the way you feel. Love is highlighted. Set up special plans to meet new people if you are single or engage in a fun-filled day with your current partner. Travel or visit romantic destinations.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Offering help may seem like a noble thing to do but don’t cross a line that you will regret or begrudge. Only do what you are comfortable doing. Added burdens will cause you to miss out on something that could change your life.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Accept the inevitable. You have to compromise and adapt to the situation around you if you want to advance. You can make anything work to your advantage if you adjust your way of thinking and your attitude.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have to be forward-thinking. You can expect to be confronted with some negative responses but, if you know what you are doing and you have a set goal, it will be difficult for anyone to stand in your way.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do everything in your power to enhance an important partnership.
Taking time to address complaints or suggestions will show your dedication and sincere concern for others. Plan a fun-filled evening for the people or person you love most.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Develop a skill or tal-ent you have not used to its full potential. You can even find a way to turn something you enjoy into a moneymaking endeavor. Don’t let a personal mat-ter drag you down.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will have a much broader view of something you’ve been trying to pur-sue if you discuss your concerns with an experi-enced person. You’ll be surprised how simple it will be to make a couple of adjustments so that you can carry on. Love is highlighted.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll have a fight on your hands if you try to push someone to do things your way. Emotional upset will lead to a rebellious response. It’s best to let things cool down. Giving someone an ultimatum will not bode well.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can make amends with someone you care about if you are honest and are willing to compromise. Follow advice a close friend or relative offers. A day trip or visiting a place you have never been will make you realize you have much to be grateful for.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keeping secrets or not telling someone the truth will cause more problems. Offer a straight answer to any questions asked. Uncertainty regard-ing your money, health or a legal matter should be addressed.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Put your heart on the line and let your feel-ings be known. If you are straight up about what you are doing and what you want to see happen, you can reach your goals. Love is looking very good, so make plans for a night out.

We are all of great value in God’s eyes
Q: Those psychologists I watch on TV say we need to have a healthy self-image but they never say how to get one -- at least not in a way that helps me. I admit I get down on myself and blame myself for everything, but what good would it do for me to just tell myself I’m not so bad after all? -- Mrs. J.D.
A: It probably wouldn’t do you any good -- not if you were deceiving yourself into thinking you didn’t need to face your problems and do something about them. Self-deception isn’t the founda-tion for a healthy self-image.
I’m not a psychologist, of course -- but it’s true that someone who’s constantly down on himself or herself is likely to feel unhappy and unfulfi lled. And often our childhood experiences infl u-ence this. If our parents (for example) told us we were stupid and doomed to fail-ure, then we’d probably grow up thinking it was true. This is one reason why parents need to watch what they say to their children, and constantly let them know they are loved.
It’s not always easy to overcome these feelings; a wise counselor may be helpful. But the real key, I’m convinced, is to begin seeing ourselves not through our own eyes or the eyes of oth-ers -- but through God’s eyes. God made you -- and you are valuable in His sight. You are so valuable that His Son was willing to give His life for you, so you could become part of God’s family forever.
Open your heart and life to Jesus Christ, and thank Him for His love for you. Then ask Him to help you meet your problems with His wisdom and strength.
MY ANSWERODDS AND ENDS
Shaq issues a one-on-one challenge — in spelling
WASHINGTON (AP) — Basketball great and reality TV star Shaquille O’Neal tried to add another championship title to his resume: spelling champion.
The hoops star challenged last year’s cham-pion speller, 14-year-old Kavya Shivashankar, to a spell-off on Friday during a break at Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Reporters weren’t allowed to watch. The showdown was taped for O’Neal’s “Shaq Vs.” reality show.
Beforehand, O’Neal and Kavya exchanged some scripted trash talk. She said she would accept his challenge, warning him she beat Jimmy Kimmel in a similar challenge last year.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” she asked O’Neal. “I did win the National Spelling Bee last year.”
“Keep in mind I have my bachelor’s and master’s, and I’m ready to go,” he said.
Man mauled after smoking pot can get workers’ comp
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A Montana judge says it’s not a worker’s fault he got mauled by a grizzly bear at a tourist attraction, even if he smoked marijuana before trying to feed the animal.
Brock Hopkins acknowledged smoking pot before arriving to work at Great Bear Adven-tures on Nov. 2, 2007. When he entered the bear’s pen, he was attacked and had to be hospitalized.
The owner of the attraction near Glacier Na-tional Park says Hopkins was a volunteer and that his use of marijuana caused the accident.
But Judge James Jeremiah Shea of the state Workers’ Compensation Court ruled last month that Hopkins is eligible for benefi ts.
Naturalist pines for vanity plate nixed by Michigan
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A tree lover who wanted to honor Michigan’s state tree with license plates bearing its Latin name has had his plans nixed for fear the tags could cause offense.
Sierra Club forestry expert Marvin Roberson had hoped for PINUS vanity plates, represent-ing the white pine whose Latin name is pinus strobus.
The Department of State panel that vets van-ity plate requests has voiced concern that the name could be confused with a word for the male sexual organ.
State spokeswoman Kelly Chesney says the Michigan Vehicle Code bans “letter combina-tions which might carry a connotation offen-sive to good taste and decency.”
Roberson says he loves pines and hopes Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land overturns the decision.
Ladies and gentleman, Elvis is on the Minn. ballot
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — An Elvis imperson-ator wearing a red jump suit has fi led for offi ce as the running mate of a gubernatorial candidate seeking Minnesota’s GOP nomina-tion.
A spokesman for Minnesota’s secretary of state says Todd “Elvis” Anderson hopes to be certifi ed on the primary ballot, running for the position of lieutenant governor alongside Ole Savior, a perennial offi ce seeker.
Minnesota law forbids improper names and requires candidates to sign a statement vouching for their ballot name as the one by which they are “commonly and generally known in the community.”

the return of the de-posit. Reasons of
such inability to con-vey include, but are
not limited to, the fil-ing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the
sale and reinstate-ment of the loan
with-out the knowledge of
the trustee. If theval-
idity of the sale is challenged by any
party, the trustee, in their sole discretion,
if they believe the challenge to have
merit, may request the court to declare
the sale to be void and return the depos-
it. The purchaser will have no further
remedy.
