County wants a stronger EDC

SANFORD — It was last May, and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office was searching for a pair of robbers.

A Broadway man had reported a break-in at his mobile home. Someone had shattered the man’s windows and looted his home.

Investigators discovered two sets of fingerprints on broken glass at the home. A computer scan courtesy of the Automated Fingerprint Identification System pointed to two Sanford men with previous run-ins with the law — Stewart James Tyner and Christopher Shane Brown.

— Capt. Jeff Johnson — Lee County Sheriff’s Office

Within days, Tyner and Brown, both of whom would eventually plead guilty, were in custody. A few weeks earlier, this process might have taken months of waiting for State Bureau of Investigation lab results.

The AFIS, brought online

in February 2009, is just one of a handful of new crime scene investigation, or CSI, tools employed by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, which has been the beneficiary of more than $65,000 in federal grants for just this purpose.

The point? Bringing Lee County investigators better tools and, oh well, at least some of the nifty gadgets employed on CBS’ popular “CSI” franchise.

People “want to see what they see on TV and they expect that,” said Capt. Jeff Johnson, chief detective at the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

SANFORD — The Lee County Board of Commissioners is looking to revamp the Lee County Economic Development Corporation’s business plan and see the LCEDC take a more aggressive approach to attracting businesses in today’s economy.

The board discussed ways to make the LCEDC more effective at Monday’s meeting.

The issue stemmed from the commissioners’ retreat held March 15, when board members talked about improving the economic development outlook in the county.

LCEDC Executive Director Bob Heuts said they’re in “waitand-see mode” but said he’s open to any possible changes the county would like the see.

SANFORD — No one was hurt in a commercial truck fire in northwest Sanford Wednesday morning, but the blaze did more than $40,000 in damage to a tractor trailer, according to the Sanford Fire Department.

The truck, which was carrying plants and flowers for Huntersville-based Metrolina Greenhouses, sparked when the brakes on its back wheels locked, generating enough heat to spark a fire, said Capt. Tommy Holder

In 1913, the 17th Amendment to the Constitution, providing for direct popular election of United States senators (as opposed to appointment by state legislatures), was ratified.

In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Emergency Relief Appropriations Act, which provided money for programs such as the Works Progress Administration.

In 1946, the League of Nations assembled in Geneva for its final session.

In 1952, President Harry S. Truman seized the steel industry to avert a nationwide strike. (The U.S. Supreme Court later ruled that Truman had overstepped his authority.)

Partnership to hold free dental health presentation

CENTRAL N.C.

Pollen levels reach record highs locally

RALEIGH — Pollen levels in North Carolina this week have reached some of their highest concentrations since air quality agencies started measuring pollen in the late 1990s.

The pollen count reached 3,524 grains per cubic meter on Wednesday and 3,099 grains per cubic meter on Tuesday at the Division of Air Quality’s central office in Raleigh, the highest levels since at least 2003. The count was even higher in Winston-Salem, reaching 9,632 grains per cubic meter.

What it means is people who are bothered by allergies may want to limit their time outdoors until pollen levels subside, particularly during early morning hours and when it is windy outside. Keeping doors and windows shut with air conditioners running will help reduce pollen levels indoors.

Pollen levels typically reach their peak in central North Carolina during late March and early April when trees such as oaks and pines are flowering.

In most years, the highest daily pollen levels generally fall between 1,000 and 1,500 grains per cubic meter, with the peak levels usually occurring within a one or two-week span. The highest previous pollen count in Raleigh was 2,925 on March 27, 2007.

The high pollen levels are probably due to several factors. The weather turned suddenly warm last week after a cold winter and cool early spring, with little rainfall since March 29. In addition to the dry weather, winds have been blowing the pollen around.

The cold winter also could have delayed some trees that normally flower earlier in the spring, so that more different tree species are flowering at the same time.

SANFORD — The Lee County Partnership for Children will hold a free children’s dental health presentation from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on April 14, at the Lee Arts and Community Center in the Child Care Resource and Referral training room, located at 507 North Steele St. in Sanford.

The event will feature presentations by Antonio Braithwaite of Sanford Pediatric Dentistry and Wendy Seymore. They will address the overall importance of dental health for young children and provide parents with essential preventative oral health tips to help establish healthy oral hygiene habits early on in a child’s life. Following the presentation will be time for questions and discussion.

It is recommended that parents reserve a spot to attend the children’s dental health presentation. For more information about the educational presentation or to reserve a spot, contact Celeste Hurtig at (919) 774-9496.

CHATHAM COUNTY

Pittsboro shuffles for courthouse PITTSBORO — Because of the fire that severely damaged the Chatham County Courthouse, superior court is being moved to the county’s Agriculture Building Auditorium just south of the courthouse.

The Agriculture Building is located at 7 South St., a small road behind the Courthouse Annex building where district court is held and where a number of county offices are located. The Chatham County District Attorney’s Office, which was located on the first floor of the Chatham County Courthouse and then moved temporarily to a small room behind the district courtroom, will move to 60 West St., which formerly was the office for the Andrews Law Group.

The landlord, Jennifer Andrews, agreed to leave all the office furniture in the building so that the district attorney’s staff could move in quickly and easily, Paschal said.

Holder said the driver, Randy Gobbler of Salisbury, was traveling on U.S. 421 South near Frontier Spinning Mills in northwest Sanford when the fire started. The truck was on its way to Southern Pines.

Holder said the fire was reported to firefighters at 11:22 a.m.

Wednesday, although it only took firefighters 15 minutes to quell the flames once they arrived on scene.

The fire destroyed the back tires of the truck and scorched the rear trailer. Holder said the damage was estimated at $35,000 for the trailer and $9,000 to its contents.

No other vehicles were involved, Holder said.

When the weather warms, the trees sprout new growth, owers bloom and bugs begin their annual assault on humans and animals. Fleas and ticks thrive on warm weather, and these pests are most prevalent during times of rising temperatures. In North America, they can be a plague from March through October, depending upon how long temperatures stay moderate.

Fleas Fleas are not picky about their meals and they’ll nip at anything warm-blooded in their paths — including people. Bites typically cause minor itching, but those with sensitive skin may have more irritation. Some eas can carry disease, but contracting something from a ea is very rare. However, cat eas can serve as intermediate hosts for canine tapeworms, putting dogs at risk.

Ticks Ticks are another parasite that rarely show discrimination in their meal hosts. Unlike eas, ticks are not insects but arachnids, like their cousins the spider and scorpion. Ticks will hop onto people and animals that cross their paths.

There are a variety of ticks as well (more than 200), most relatively innocuous except for the fact that they’re unsightly bloodsuckers. However, the Deer tick and the Lone Star tick are two ticks that can cause serious illness. The Deer tick is a carrier for Lyme disease, an inammatory disease that causes rash, muscle aches, and arthritis-type pain. The Lone Star tick carries Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, a rickettsial disease. A tick has barbed mouthparts that attach securely to a host. If you ďŹ nd a tick on yourself or a pet, remove the tick by pulling it out with tweezers. Attempt to get as close to the mouthparts as possible. Do not squeeze the tick while removing, as it could expel regurgitated blood and secretions into the wound. Remove the entire tick and then disinfect the bite area.

Safeguarding the Family from Fleas and Ticks Treating pets alone against eas is a relatively futile effort. Effective control requires eradication of eas from the pet, the home, the yard, and control of the ea life cycle. There are a number of chemical products available that do a good job of ridding the home and yard of eas. But there are also natural ways to simply make the environment less habitable for eas. s 4REAT YOUR PET WITH MONTHLY mEA TICK CONTROL Frontline Plus is a great product because it is safe, KILLS mEAS THEIR EGGS TICKS )F YOU RE HAVING A heavy tick problem we recommend using Preventic Collar, this is the best product for killing ticks that we have found. s 6ACUUM FREQUENTLY AND THOROUGHLY 6ACUUMING removes eggs and eas from carpeting and upholstery. Discard the vacuum bag immediately, however, as eas can hatch inside of the bag. We recommend treating your home with knock out area treatment, to kill the ea population. s 4REAT YOUR PROPERTY ! GREAT PRODUCT IS CALLED "AYER Advanced and can found locally at home and garden stores such as Lowes.

Double-digit unemployment across the state could affect prices by hampering demand, Byrnes said, with history showing that drivers take notice when they see a big “3� at the gas station. “That is certainly something of a watermark at which people start to change their behavior,� he said.

Although prices are universally expected to climb, the situation isn’t expected to mimic the summer of 2008, when Hurricane Ike shut down Gulf Coast refineries and sent prices soaring to $4 per gallon across the Southeast.

The cost of gasoline rising along with the temperatures is nothing unusual. Vacation season drives demand, and the blend of gasoline sold during the summer to reduce pollution is expensive.

Neil Gamson, an analyst with the U.S. Energy Information Administration, said urban areas could see $3 gasoline “sooner rather than later.� If this year’s increase follows the 2009 pattern, drivers could see $3 by Memorial Day, when demand hits a peak. “That is absolutely the start of the summer travel season,� said Brendan Byrnes, a spokesman for AAA Carolinas.

FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — It’s as much a part of spring as the pollen sticking to windshields: The rise in gasoline prices.

Drivers in North Carolina can expect to pay more than $3 per gallon as the travel season kicks into gear.

Regular gasoline already costs 87cents more per gallon than a year ago. Prices in North Carolina climbed to a summer peak of $2.65 in June. The current average price is already $2.77, which is the highest since October 2008.

Fayetteville drivers are paying 2cents more per gallon than the state average, too, according to AAA. The U.S. Department of Energy’s short-term energy outlook report also is predicting that U.S. pump prices will probably exceed $3 per

Sanford area lost a great man in Bob Blue Our View Issue: The recent death of longtime Lee County High School drama teacher Bob Blue

Our stance: The outpouring of response from the community shows that Blue was loved

Every person has a story, and every person has touched somebody’s life during their own life time.

The Herald receives approximately eight to 10 obituaries a day from our community, and as a newspaper that loves to tell stories of people’s interesting lives, we find it unfortunate that we can’t tell everybody’s story.

No newspaper can ... and because of this, as readers, you’re missing out on getting to know more about your friends or strangers in your community.

We certainly don’t recognize a majority of the names that come to us each day. And last week,

it’s safe to say the two or three people who handled obituaries didn’t recognize the name “Bob Blue” when it appeared in an obituary e-mail.

But it didn’t take long for that name to appear again in another e-mail.

And another e-mail.

And another e-mail.

This isn’t typical, and what these e-mails told us was that Bob Blue had a big impact on Sanford.

“Bob taught us many of life’s lessons at a time when we needed guidance,” an online commenter wrote.

“We will remember his boom-

ing laughter, his generosity and his loving and caring heart,” one e-mail read.

So upon learning more about Bob Blue, we discovered a former Lee County High School drama teacher and community theater director who not only wowed people with his talent and intelligence, but equally amazed them with his generosity and love for teaching.

The former Lee County High School drama teacher and community theater director will be remembered for his talent and generosity in the community.

The Herald featured the late Bob Blue, who died on March 28

and the young age of 53, on the front page of Wednesday’s paper, and the story has already become our most “recommended” story at sanfordherald.com. We felt his was a story that needed to be told ... words that would not only bring a smile to the people who loved him, but a smile to those who never knew him.

Many of us didn’t know Bob Blue, but his story, we feel, is but a part of what makes our community special.

Our condolences go out to his family, friends and former students.

Our community lost a great leader and a great man.

Chartered territory

R

ALEIGH — Perhaps Bill Harrison, the chairman of the state Board of Education, was on vacation last summer when U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan uttered the words.

“States that do not have public charter laws or put artificial caps on the growth of charter schools will jeopardize their applications under the Race to the Top Fund,” Duncan said at the time.

North Carolina recently missed out on the first chance at the federal grants.

Instead, Delaware won $100 million; Tennessee was awarded $500 million.

In the aftermath, charter school supporters pointed to North Carolina’s longstanding cap that limits the number of charter schools to 100 as a key reason why the state failed to beat out Tennessee and Delaware.

Harrison’s response: “It wasn’t about charter schools” and “That doesn’t hold water.”

Sure, it wasn’t all about charter schools. Not even close. But North Carolina did lose points in its grant application because of its charter school cap.

The Obama administration has made clear from its beginning that it supports educational innovation that can be fostered by the creation of charter schools. ...

North Carolina’s “experiment” with charter schools is now 13 years old. The schools are typically organized by local volunteers, operate without some of regulation of public schools but receive state dollars on the same per-pupil basis as public schools.

Charter schools that don’t perform well can be closed. Thirty-eight of the schools in North Carolina have eventually shut their doors.

Critics of the schools say those that fail can leave children in the lurch and can put them so far behind academically that they’ll never catch up.

Harrison had another complaint the other day: cronyism. He said some charter schools seem to care more about doling out jobs to friends and relatives than educating kids.

The critics ignore some fairly significant public support for the schools across socio-economic and racial boundaries. ...

If North Carolina’s educational leaders believe that these folks are wrong-headed, that charter schools cause more harm than good, then they should make they case, very loudly and very publicly.

Or, if the state needs tougher rules to shut down failing charter schools, make that case.

Instead, the state has for more than a decade operated in some sort of twilight, where it neither rejects nor embraces charter schools.

That twilight isn’t good enough for federal education officials. Harrison can deny it all he wants. It won’t change it.

With another $3.4 billion in competitive education grants yet to be awarded, he may find that he’s in for another round of denial, two different sorts.

The invisible Ward 8 W

ASHINGTON — After President Obama and his family attended Easter services in the poorest, blackest, most crime-ridden quadrant of Washington, his 22-car motorcade sped back across the Anacostia River to the picturepostcard, cherry-blossomy part of town. Left behind was a heartbreaking crime scene — along with tens of thousands of people who have become as invisible as ghosts.

It is rare these days when two high-profile events, within a single week, train the spotlight even briefly on the too-large segment of the African-American population that remains mired in desperate poverty and selfsustaining dysfunction. The second event was the first family’s visit to Allen Chapel AME Church for a joyous, high-spirited Easter celebration. The pastor, Rev. Michael Bell, described it as “a monumental moment for us as a community.”

The first event took place at twilight on March 30. Gunmen in a minivan driven by a 14-year-old boy pulled up in front of a decrepit little apartment building, a popular hang-out spot for neighborhood teenagers, and fired indiscriminately into the crowd with handguns and an AK-47-style assault rifle. Four young people were killed and five others wounded. It was the most stunning outburst of senseless violence Washington had seen in years.

Police say the apparent motive involves a complicated back story. I’ll note just two details: Many in the targeted crowd had just returned from the funeral of a 20-year-old man who had been gunned down a week earlier. And both incidents — five deaths in all — seem to have been triggered by the apparent theft of a single cheap, gold-tone men’s bracelet.

The carnage has been front-page, top-ofthe-newscast fare. It is as if a veil has been lifted and the city can now see the devastation that should have been evident all along.

Ward 8, the jurisdiction that includes both the church Obama attended and the site of the mass shooting, has an unemployment rate of 28.5 percent and a poverty rate of 40 percent. It has the highest percentage of single-parent households in the city, its public schools are perennially troubled and its streets are host to frequent turf battles among violent gangs.

But soon, all that will be forgotten — just as the same kind of despair goes unremembered in similar neighborhoods in Atlanta, Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia and every major American city. Entrenched black poverty, with all its causes and implications, barely makes a ripple in the public debate these days.

One major reason, perhaps the major reason, is that crime rates have fallen sharply over the past two decades throughout the country. In 1990 there were 472 homicides in Washington; last year there were just 143, and this year’s murder rate is even lower. The sight of a group of black teenagers downtown

Eugene Robinson Columnist Eugene Robinson is a columnist with the Washington Post Writers Group

doesn’t automatically provoke fear in others the way it once did, which is a good thing.

But it’s not good that people who live in more affluent neighborhoods, or in the suburbs, now seem to believe they don’t have to notice those teenagers at all. People look right through them.

The violent crime that remains has largely been corralled into the impoverished neighborhoods where both perpetrators and victims live. Governments, nonprofits, churches and other institutions do what they can, but their efforts do not begin to approach the scale of the problem. What’s needed is massive intervention on every front. It would be a great accomplishment, for example, to really fix the schools. But what good are state-ofthe-art facilities and qualified, motivated teachers when the students arrive having been damaged by dysfunctional families and a toxic peer-group culture — and when there are no jobs waiting for them when they leave?

One of the shooting victims, 16-year-old Brishell Jones, wanted to become a chef. She just happened to go out Tuesday night, and never made it home.

Before he entered politics, Obama worked in equally desperate communities in Chicago. He has the understanding, and the power, to begin the process of healing places like Ward 8. But he is going to need the political will — and the clout — to implement policies that specifically target the African-American underclass. I hate that word, underclass, and almost never use it. But the ultimate defeat that it implies seems alarmingly near.

On Monday, at the corner where nine people were shot, there were teddy bears, flowers, condolence notes, a collection of liquor bottles beneath a “no loitering” sign.

Soon, the impromptu memorial will fade away. The neighborhood and its people will be invisible once more.

Today’s Prayer Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me.”

(John 14:1 KJV) PRAYER: Dear God, in the name of Jesus, give us faith and love to be able to always feel Your presence, in our good hours and bad. Amen.

The country that I loved so much and was not ashamed to say where I was from has now changed.

The younger generation born in the 50s, 60s, 70s and on up has a second-class look at life — such as, “I’ll draw unemployment before I’ll work for $8 per hour,” or, “I’m not going to work on the second shift.”

Comments such as those and the “don’t care” attitude has hurt the country. I do not think that these individuals know where the unemployment, welfare, WIC and other handouts are coming from.

The county, city, state and federal government does not operate, own or manufacture anything. They collect taxes and make the laws on how to get the taxes that the working class is paying.

In my lifetime, I have never received any of those handouts, because they were not available in the 20s, 30s and 40s. I can not accept the rules where these young girls and boys are fathering children — not one but two to four in some cases — and the kids have different fathers, none of whom are supporting the children.

This is what I call a welfare state.

There was once an education system that worked. That was when we had community schools, local school board members and a PTA at each school. When the state, federal government and politics got into our education system, on a scale of one to 10, it is now about a three.

It should be at least a nine.

On TV recently, a second-year college student was asked what the name of the capital of the state of Washington was, and the answer was “D.C.” When I was in the seventh grade, students had to know the 48 states, and the capital to pass the seventh grade. And I know some well-educated reader is going to say, “This idiot does not know there are 50 states.”

Edna Earle Jones Brogden SANFORD — Edna Jones Brogden, age 89, of Sanford, passed away peacefully Monday, April 5, 2010, at Liberty Commons Nursing Home.

Born on October 17, 1920 in Mt. Olive, NC to the late William Harvey and Katie Godwin Jones. Mrs. Brogden was a long term member of First Presbyterian Church where she sang in the choir for many years. She worked part-time at local ladies dress shops in Sanford which she thoroughly enjoyed, and from where she will be remembered by many visitors and customers. She was a member of the Pilot Club and the Jolly 8’s Bridge Club.

Generations of Sanford teenagers from the 1950s will recall with great pleasure their introduction to bridge playing by the patient and expert members of the Jolly 8s, and especially Edna Brogden. She enjoyed drawing and painting, playing the piano and gardening. With her favored band of antiques collectors she scoured every shop and second-hand store in the counties around Sanford.

She much enjoyed spending time with her family and especially enjoyed watching her grandsons grow up and spending time with her great-grand daughters. She was attentive to her large family, and faithfully attended many Godwin and Sloan family reunions; she nursed her parents in law in their last days, her mother Katie Godwin Jones and her father Willie Harvey Jones also. And she nursed her husband, Alvis, through his final years at home closely monitored his last days in a nursing home.

She enjoyed a long happy and giving life, and it was only towards the very end that she expressed any weariness at age and confinement.

She died very quietly watched over by her son Richard.

She is survived by her sons Dr. W. A. Brogden of Aberdeen, Scotland and Richard G. Brogden and wife Janice of Sanford. Grandsons Timothy T. Brogden and wife Dallas of Cary and Bryan R. Brogden and wife Mary Beth of Fairmont, W.Va. Great-granddaughters Bronwyn Hunter Brogden (daughter of Timothy and Dallas), Kaylee Marie Brogden and Abbigail Kate Brogden (daughters of Bryan and Mary Beth). Her sister Joyce Jones Reaves of Mt. Olive, niece Kathryn Barton of New Bern, nephew Clyde Roland Reaves Jr. of Sleep Creek and great-niece Heather Barton of Long Beach, Calif. and great-nephew T.A. (TAB) Barton of Atlantic Beach.

She leaves niece, Beth Capillary of Greenville, and nephews Troy Mullis of Mint Hill, Charlotte and Professor Tom Mullis of Radford, Va. Special friend and honorary family member Betty Womble.

The family will receive friends Saturday, April 10th, at Miller Boles Funeral Home from 6 to 8 p.m.

The funeral will be held at First Presbyterian church on Hawkins Avenue Sunday, April 11th, at 3 p.m. conducted by the Rev. Stuart Wilson. The family will be at home and other times at the home of Richard Brogden, 528 Nixon Drive, Sanford. Dr. W.A. Brogden will be at the 311 W. Weatherspoon St. address beginning Saturday, April 10th, for approximately 1-2 weeks.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to First Presbyterian music and choir, 203 Hawkins Ave., Sanford, N.C. 27330 or to Good News Baptist Church building fund, P.O. Box 3414 Sanford, N.C. 27331.

“We’ve come a long way.�

Until 2007, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office didn’t have an expert trained for CSI work. That year, the office hired Sgt. Matt Rosser to helm the intricate work. They have since added a backup for Rosser in Detective Sgt. Clint Babb. Both Babb and Rosser are certified in CSI by forensic leaders International Association for Identification.

Along with the AFIS, which ranks likely matches from a local fingerprint database, Lee County investigators now use several devices designed to pull and identify prints from many surfaces, including weapons, as well as a quick test to identify various drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana and MDMA. The machine, called the “NarTest,� works by dissolving drugs in water or ethanol, then using a speedy spectral analysis to identify the measurements unique to various narcotics.

Law enforcement personnel need to be able to identify narcotics to prove their case in court, Rosser said.

Then there’s what Lee investigators call the “fuming chamber,� a contraption that heats Superglue to spot latent fingerprints. When heated, Superglue becomes a gas that adheres to fingerprints, although the gas is toxic.

The enclosed chamber allows investigators to heat the glue and stay safe, Rosser said.

Lee County also owns a down draft table that pulls dust off of items like paper that detectives are scoping for fingerprints.

All of the instruments, which are housed in a small room at the Sheriff’s Office, offer a clean, safe and efficient environment for investigators to perform their tests. “We can sit here now and within 20 minutes have a suspect,� Babb said.

Long waits in the past clogged courts and slowed detectives’ investigations.

Not so anymore, Babb said. “It’s helped out a great deal,� he said.

also will employ local companies for mechanical and electric services within the project. “We’re very happy to have local,� said Bill Tatum, chairman of the Lee County Board of Education.

The almost $20.5 million amount covers the renovation of all buildings, mechanical power grid, boiler and chiller, new construction and site work.

Alternate projects — which the contractor could include in the base bid price or could require separate cost — include the renovation of McLeod Audi-

Dalrymple said the county faces tough competition in the surrounding area, in terms of bringing in business. In comparing Lee County’s economic policy to others, “we need to come current with a lot of things,� she said.

The commissioners suggested LCEDC officials aren’t keeping them informed as much as they’d like. “We would like to be engaged, we would like to be communicated with more frequently,� said Chairman Richard Hayes. “Are we getting our money’s worth for what we’re doing?�

Lee County has long been blessed with a vibrant business community, he said. “Looking again at this model, we’re talking about positive, constructive change,� Hayes said. “The model needs to change. Twenty years later, we need to be doing it better.�

Hayes said he’d like to see better marketing of Lee County; periodic reports from John Daniel, the chairman of the LCEDC, in addition to those from Heuts; and more detailed reports from the LCEDC. The two three-year term limits for those serving on county boards and committees also should help, Hayes said, to bring in fresh perspec-

torium, the demolition of the football locker room and construction of a concession and entrance building and the installation of concrete sidewalk along Nash Street.

Because the Lee County Board of Commissioners approved $19.6 million as the project’s price, the board of education will have to work with the county to make cuts to the project plan or allocate lottery funding, Tatum said. “We’re a million dollars over,� he said. “Ideally, the base bid would have come in at $18 million and change, and then we’d start adding select alternates.�

And having to cut some of the alternate

projects like renovations to the auditorium, “that’ll be disappointing to a lot of people,�

Tatum said. American South wants an additional $1,369,000 to renovate the auditorium.

Tatum said he wished the lowest bid had been $1 million less, at $19,479,000. “I’m mildly disappointed,� he said.

Superintendent Jeff Moss also said he expected lower bids but noticed that the six different bids seemed fairly accurate. “Renovations most likely caused the numbers to be higher,� he said. “With new, you know exactly what you’re dealing with — new materials. With renovations, you’re not.�

From here, administrators and board members will meet with the contractor and go over the bid’s structure, Moss said, to see if they can possibly value engineer any items from the bid.

Then they’ll find out what the county’s willing to work with.

Working with the county board will be key, Tatum said. “If the lottery funds flow, some of these alternates could be incorporated outside of the general contractor,� he said. “I’m disappointed but I’m not pessimistic.�

Tatum said he believes the base bid amounts, which peaked at $21,720,000, are a good sign in terms of the economic climate. “Business for con-

tractors has begun to pick up again,� he said.

Thirteen general contractors took packets for a bid, but only six showed up with a quote for the project.

The companies can afford to be slightly more selective now, Tatum said. “It’s an indication the economy is turning,� he said.

Hite said the project is an extensive one, and believes many contractors chose not to turn in bids after realizing its complexity.

When a price for the project originally was determined around 2003, it was estimated to be about $29 million, Tatum said, so the cost has dropped considerably over time.

tive and people who will work aggressively to bring business to the area.

Hayes said Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive and Broadway Mayor Donald Andrews also are interested in creating a fresh plan for the LCEDC. He said he hopes a resoulution with a new plan could be approved by all three entities by June 30. “I think that’s the way to go, to help the LCEDC help itself,� Hayes said. “All due respect to the executive director and the board, we recommend that they follow these new guidelines.�

Commissioner Linda Shook pointed out that small business owners should have a say in the matter, too. “We’re missing the small business owner. I don’t have confidence that any of the elected boards have the right answer,� she said.

Vice Chair Larry “Doc�

Oldham pointed out that the LCEDC could respond to this suggestion by saying more money is needed to do more with economic development.

Heuts agree that there can be certain constraints. “Obviously, there’s a very limited amount of money available for marketing,� Heuts said.

The Internet, brochures and advertisements are all ways to promote the county, but “all those things cost money. If that’s what they’re looking for, there may need to be more money than that.�

Plus, the LCEDC operation is small, he said. “We try to run today with two people in place,� Heuts said. “There’s a limit to what can be done.�

From what he’s heard, things aren’t quite clear yet to Heuts. But he added that he’s willing to work with the board to

make changes. “We’ll see what position they’d like to take with economic development long term. We’re here today. I hope we’ll be here tomorrow,� he said, laughing.

Hayes said he’s talked to Heuts and has made it clear that the push for change isn’t an attack on him or any of the LCEDC staff. “We think he’s a fine individual and he’s done very well with what he’s had to work with,�

Hayes said. “We’re saying, Bob, don’t take this personally. This is systemic. The LCEDC needs to evolve.�

The county can’t afford to do business as usual in the current economic climate, he said. Counties and cities

in the surrounding area are creatively attracting new business and he’d like to see Lee County do the same. “We’re quick to criticize, but let’s have something come out of that criticism,� he said. “He understands certainly from my point of view that this is a reasonable approach and a timely approach.�

Focusing on the product is what’s important to Heuts. The county can spend millions of dollars in promotion, but if the product isn’t there, it won’t bring businesses here, he said. “We need to put our resources into product development and that will market itself,� he said.

FORT BRAGG COLD CASE

US expert says fungus threatens 9 SE bat species

ASHEVILLE (AP) — A federal wildlife researcher says nine bat species in the Southeast are most threatened by a deadly bat fungus wiping out the flying mammals that play a key role in controlling insects.

The U.S. Forest Service’s Southern Research Station in Asheville on Wednesday identified the bat species most imperiled by white-nose syndrome, a fungus rapidly spreading from the Northeast toward North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky.

The federal agency says Susan Loeb, a leading bat expert based in Clemson, S.C., warns that little-brown bats, Indiana bats and Virginia bigeared bats could become extinct if they become infected by the fungus, which affects bats that hibernate in caves and mines.

More than a million bats have died as the result of the fungus.

Court: Official who assumed death can’t be sued

RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina appeals court has ruled that the family of a man mistakenly declared dead five years ago cannot sue a county medical examiner.

The state Court of Appeals overturned a lower court decision, saying former Franklin County medical examiner J.B. Perdue’s actions didn’t involve malicious or corrupt conduct, even if they were arguably negligent.

The three-judge court panel said Tuesday that while a medical examiner should confirm at the scene whether an accident victim is alive or dead, he’s not required by state law to do his own examination.

The family and guardian of Larry D. Green sued officials to recoup money for the 24hour care he needs after he was hit by a vehicle in 2005, zipped into a body bag, and taken to a morgue.

North Carolina auto body shop.

District Attorney John Snyder told The Charlotte Observer on Tuesday that he will announce whether he intends to seek the death penalty against 32-year-old Bogdan Rudenko in a few weeks.

Authorities say Rudenko knew the victim, 32-year-old Yuriy Anatolevich Kharitonov, but haven’t given a motive for the killings. Both men were from Kazakhstan.

Officers responding to a break-in call at Alexis Automotive in Stallings on Dec. 20 found the victim in woods behind the shop.

Rudenko’s lawyer declined to comment to the newspaper.

Rudenko played for the Charlotte Checkers and several other minor league hockey teams.

Delay in trial of man facing murder charge TARBORO (AP) — A trial has been delayed indefinitely for the North Carolina man accused of killing one of the seven women whose bodies have been found in similar circumstances around Rocky Mount.

Superior Court Judge Walter Godwin on Wednesday postponed a trial scheduled to start next month for 31-yearold Antwan Maurice Pittman.

He is charged with first-degree murder in last year’s strangling death of 29-yearold Taraha Nicholson.

District Attorney Robert Evans requested the delay, and defense attorney Thomas Moore agreed.

Authorities say Pittman is a suspect in four similar slayings but have not charged him in any other death.

DNA key in closing arguments FORT BRAGG (AP) — Prosecutors contended Wednesday that science finally caught up to a soldier accused of killing a mother and her two daughters 25 years ago in their North Carolina home.

But a defense attorney countered that new DNA evidence may really only show that 52-year-old Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis was having an affair with the woman and had nothing to do with the slayings. “Does the evidence take you beyond adultery to murder?� lawyer Frank Spinner asked the 14member military panel deciding Hennis’ fate. “You should follow that evidence wherever it leads you, no matter how un-

comfortable it may make you.�

Jurors started deliberations Wednesday afternoon following three weeks of testimony in the trial, which is the third Hennis has faced since the slayings. He is charged with three counts of premeditated murder and could face the death penalty if the jury is unanimous with a conviction and sentence.

Hennis was first convicted in state court but won an appeal and was acquitted in a second trial.

He couldn’t be tried in state court again, so prosecutors brought the case to the Army after more advanced scientific testing determined Hennis’ DNA was inside 31-year-old

Kathryn Eastburn. Hennis had retired but was forced back into service to face the charges.

Hennis has been calm throughout the proceedings, quietly taking notes and meeting the gaze of prosecutors. He did not testify.

He had adopted the Eastburns’ dog several days before the killings and was arrested four days after the bodies of Eastburn and her 5year-old and 3-year-old daughters were found in their Fayetteville home in 1985. Eastburn’s husband, Air Force Capt.

Gary Eastburn, was in Alabama at squadron officers training school at the time.

Prosecutor Capt. Mat-

thew Scott said Hennis might have been able to clean up the crime scene back then, but he couldn’t clean up his DNA. “The person that slaughtered her, raped her — the person that raped her left his sperm,� Scott said.

But Spinner stressed that no other physical evidence, including hair, fingerprints and a bloody towel found in the home, has been linked to Hennis.

A defense expert testified during the trial that Hennis and the victim could have been intimate days before the killings. “Their lives intersected with evil that night, but Sergeant Timothy Hennis was not the man that did these things,� Spinner said.

CHARLOTTE

Hospital probes care of murder-suicide suspect CHARLOTTE (AP) — A Mecklenburg County psychiatric hospital will review how it handled the treatment of a man who reported having homicidal thoughts, then killed his wife and two daughters hours later, a county official said.

County Commission Chairwoman Jennifer Roberts announced the review after commissioners met privately to discuss how Carolinas Medical Center handles patients who show up threatening to hurt themselves or others, The Charlotte Observer reported

Wednesday. The county has a $16 million contract with the hospital to provide mental health services.

A hospital spokesman did not return a call seeking comment Wednesday.

Hospital officials had said earlier that confidentiality laws prohibited them from confirming whether Kenneth Jermaine Chapman had been a patient or discussing any treatment he may have received.

Chapman received medication for anxiety and depression on March 16 after stating on a questionnaire he was thinking

of harming his wife, The Observer reported Sunday based on records of the case it had obtained.

Chapman killed his wife and daughters later that day, police said, then ordered his two other children to tell no one about the killings. Chapman committed suicide as police checked on them two weeks later. “He was aware that he was unstable and that was a cry for help, which nobody recognized — not even the

professionals,� said James Cosby, Chapman’s stepfather.

The early-morning visit to the county’s mental health center on March 16 was Chapman’s second visit in two weeks. Chapman, 33, reported having hallucinations, feeling inadequate, thinking about killing his wife, and owning guns. He had earlier lived in West Virginia, where he sought treatment for depression, the newspaper reported.

WEST VIRGINIA MINE COLLAPSE

Lethal gas stops rescuersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efforts

MONTCOAL, W.Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two full days after the worst U.S. mining disaster in a generation, dangerous gases underground prevented rescuers Wednesday from venturing into the Upper Big Branch coal mine to search for any survivors of the explosion that killed at least 25 workers.

Crews drilled holes deep into the ground to release the gases, but by late afternoon the levels of lethal carbon monoxide and highly explosive hydrogen and methane remained far too high for searchers to look for the last four people missing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any chancesâ&#x20AC;? with the lives of rescuers, said Kevin Stricklin of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to send a rescue team, we have to say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe for them to go in there.â&#x20AC;?

Officials could not say when rescuers might be able to go in.

Stricklin said relatives of the miners backed the decision to hold off for now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked the families to be patient,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Gov. Joe Manchin and others saw only a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sliver of hopeâ&#x20AC;? that the miners survived by reaching one of the shaftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rescue chambers, which are stocked with food, water and enough oxygen to last four days. Workers planned to drill another hole so they could lower a camera into one of the airtight chambers to see if anyone managed to get inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working against long odds from day one,â&#x20AC;? Manchin warned.

A large drill and fan, left, work above Massey Energyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Upper Big Branch Coal Mine Wednesday in Montcoal, W.Va. The 560ft rotary drill which is 6 iches in diameter is the second hole drilled in an effort to release gas from the area where miners are believed to be trapped.

The federal mine agency appointed a team of investigators to look into the blast, which officials said may have been caused by a buildup of methane.

The mineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Massey Energy Co., has been repeatedly cited for problems with the system that vents methane and for allowing combustible dust to build up. On the very day of the blast, MSHA cited the mine with two safety violations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one involving inadequate maps of escape routes, the other concerning an improper splice of electrical cable.

Massey CEO Don Blankenship has strongly defended the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record and disputed accusations from miners that he puts coal profits ahead of safety.

As of late Wednesday, there had been no signs of life deep underground since the explosion.

During the drilling of the ventilation holes, rescuers banged on a pipe for

about 15 minutes but got no response. Miners are trained to bang on drilling equipment and ceiling bolts if trapped.

Family members could do little but wait.

Alice Peters said she was told her 47-year-old son-in-law, Dean Jones, was among the missing, though Massey said it does not know which four miners might be alive.

Peters said Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wife, Gina, has been at the mine site since the explosion and would not leave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not doing too good,â&#x20AC;?

Peters said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They told them to go home because they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to let the mine rescuers back in.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still drilling.â&#x20AC;?

Seven bodies were pulled out after the explosion, and two miners were hospitalized. Manchin said Wednesday that one was doing well and the other was in intensive care.

Eighteen bodies remained in the mine, but emergency workers were able to identify only four before

methane forced them out Monday.

During the drilling of the ventilation holes, the amount of methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide coming out of the mine was so high â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the carbon monoxide was 280 times above safe levels â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that ventilation had to be set up at the surface to protect the rescue workers, Stricklin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was to the point that it was affecting the drillers,â&#x20AC;? Stricklin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were standing right next to where noxious gas was coming out.â&#x20AC;?

Miner William â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;?

Griffithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family was preparing for the worst.

Griffith went to work Monday and never came home, said his brother, James Griffith, who also works at the mine. William Griffithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother-in-law, Carl Acord, died in the explosion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my honest opinion, if anyone else survives it, I will be surprised,â&#x20AC;? James Griffith said.

Doug Griffith, another of William Griffithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brothers and also a miner, sat down with his family after getting a briefing on the rescue effort, said his wife, Cindi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just said we really need to prepare for the worst,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any hope.â&#x20AC;?

Once rescuers can get into the mine, it could take less than two hours to get far enough inside to check for survivors, depending on conditions, Stricklin said. They would be about 1,000 feet below the surface, and at least 1 1/2 miles from the entrance.

FBI arrests SF man for allegedly threatening Pelosi SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The FBI says the suspect accused of making threatening phone calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a 48-year-old San Francisco man.

FBI spokesman Joseph Schadler identified the man as Gregory Lee Giusti.

He was arrested at his home shortly after noon Wednesday.

Schadler did not disclose the charges against Giusti, but said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due in court Thursday.

Law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that the suspect made dozens of calls to Pelosiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes in California and Washington, as well as to her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business office. They say he recited her home address and said if she wanted to see it again, she would not support the health care overhaul bill that since has been enacted.

Nearly half of U.S. homes paying no federal income tax WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tax Day is a dreaded deadline for millions, but for nearly half of U.S. households itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply somebody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problem.

About 47 percent will pay no federal income taxes at all for 2009. Either their incomes were too low, or they qualified for enough credits, deductions and exemptions to eliminate their liability. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s according to projections by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington research organization.

Most people still are required to file returns by the April 15 deadline. The

penalty for skipping it is limited to the amount of taxes owed, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still almost always better to file: Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way to get a refund of all the income taxes withheld by employers.

In recent years, credits for low- and middle-income families have grown so much that a family of four making as much as $50,000 will owe no federal income tax for 2009, as long as there are two children younger than 17, according to a separate analysis by the consulting firm Deloitte Tax.

GM posts $4.3B loss but sees chance of profit DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; General Motors Co., steadily returning to health after its near-collapse in 2009, said Tuesday it plans to pay off its government loans by June â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five years ahead of schedule â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and could report a profit as early as this year.

GM said it lost $3.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009 on revenues of $32.3 billion. But things are on the upswing. Sales and production have increased and GM has gained U.S. market share since the start of the year.

The automaker will try to maintain that momentum while facing a stiff challenge from a revitalized Ford Motor Co. For the period from July 10, when GM emerged from bankruptcy protection after shedding billions in debt, through Dec. 31, GM lost $4.3 billion on revenues of $57.5 billion.

But much of that loss was for one-time items, including a $2.6 billion payment to the United Auto Workers union for retiree health care.

VH1 trying black reality shows

By DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On her new VH1 reality dating show, Rozonda Thomas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; better known as Chilli from the groundbreaking hip-hop group TLC â&#x20AC;&#x201D; doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lounge in bubble baths or hand out fake bling to her suitors.

Instead, the 39-year-old singer and mother meets bachelors at black-tie affairs and confers with a dating expert, as well as her 12-year-old son.

The cable network synonymous with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flavor of Loveâ&#x20AC;? and its sleazy spinoffs is trading trampiness for fabulousness with a new slate of series starring seemingly well-adjusted rich and famous black Americans. VH1 executive vice president Jeff Olde admits that the shift from oh-no-they-didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fare to more mature material is totally intentional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We constantly have to evolve and tell our audience different stories,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to get more diverse with our audience by â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in large part â&#x20AC;&#x201D; attracting African-American women to the network. We got them in the door with some shows, and now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling them different kinds of stories.â&#x20AC;?

With an April 11 debut,

In this publicity image released by VH1, singers Brandy Norwood, left, and her brother Ray J Norwood pose together to promote their new reality series, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;?Brandy & â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Chilli Wantsâ&#x20AC;? will be partnered on Sundays with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business,â&#x20AC;? focusing on sibling R&B singers Ray J and Brandy Norwood as they attempt to relaunch their music careers, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basketball Wives,â&#x20AC;? starring Shaquille Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-wife, Shaunie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal, and five other women with romantic links to basketball players.

For the notoriously trashy VH1, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not reality as usual. While cat fights will flare up with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basketball Wivesâ&#x20AC;? and Chilli promises a tiff with her sassy matchmaker on â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Chilli Wants,â&#x20AC;? these new shows certainly arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t selling buzzworthy moments akin to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flavor of Loveâ&#x20AC;? contestants spiting on each other or suddenly

defecating on the floor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I watched â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Flavor of Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; myself,â&#x20AC;? attests Chilli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely one of the shows I thought was interesting, but it made sense for Flav to do it just that way. For me, I wanted to do my show in a way that I would be comfortable with, and I was very happy that VH1 was on the same page with me.

They did have a formula that has been working for them.â&#x20AC;?

Olde dismisses any past criticisms of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flavor of Loveâ&#x20AC;? and its offspring, mostly produced by 51 Minds Entertainment, by calling the franchise ignited by black rapper Flavor Flav and his multiracial harem â&#x20AC;&#x153;big fun romantic comedies.â&#x20AC;? (Olde confirms that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Love Money 3,â&#x20AC;? featuring

murder suspect and suicide victim Ryan Jenkins, as well as the Jenkins-free â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Love Money 4â&#x20AC;? wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t air.)

Instead of lewd antics from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flavor of Loveâ&#x20AC;? standout Tiffany â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Yorkâ&#x20AC;? Pollard or that toxic spill of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charm Schoolâ&#x20AC;? women, the network is now interested in transformative experiences from celebrities, such as third season â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? winner Fantasia Barrino or rapper Sandy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pepaâ&#x20AC;?

Denton from Salt-N-Pepa.

The evolution is already proving successful.

Premieres earlier this year of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fantasia for Realâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talk About Pepâ&#x20AC;? topped that same weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third season debut of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrity Rehabâ&#x20AC;? and episodes of the seedy dating shows â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the Love of Ray Jâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair,â&#x20AC;? which starred â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Love New Yorkâ&#x20AC;? reject Frank Maresca searching for love from his parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new VH1 shows offer a different take on the black reality TV star,â&#x20AC;? says Imani Perry, a professor at Princeton Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for African American Studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are images of wealthy black families. These shows may potentially be less stereotypic because they present a different, higher status black image.â&#x20AC;?

AG says Haim obtained 550 pills before death

Bristol Palin speaks out about being a teen mom

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Actor Corey Haim employed â&#x20AC;&#x153;doctor shoppingâ&#x20AC;? to obtain 553 prescription pills in the two months before his death, California Attorney General Jerry Brown Haim said Tuesday.

Haim obtained the meds, which included Valium, Vicodin, Xanax and Soma, through seven different doctors and seven pharmacies, Brown said, and he used an alias on at least one occasion.

Brown said it did not appear the doctors knew Haim was obtaining prescriptions through multiple sources. He said investigators verified Haim filled the prescriptions this year, but have also found that thousands of pills were obtained in Haimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name before then.

He called Haim â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the star of 1980s films such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lost Boysâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;License to Driveâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a â&#x20AC;&#x153;poster childâ&#x20AC;? for prescription drug abuse. He said that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just celebrities who were obtaining massive quantities of prescription drugs through doctor-shopping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think it illustrates a problem that is more widespread,â&#x20AC;? Brown said.

His office has pursued more than 200 cases statewide involving prescription abuse by both doctors and patients.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bristol Palin says that if girls knew how tough it was to be a mom, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think twice about having sex.

The 19year-old daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she has Palin chosen to practice abstinence herself, until marriage.

Bristol Palin, who once said it was unrealistic to ask young people to abstain from sex, said in an interview with The Associated Press that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s realistic for her personally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s realistic to ask myself that, because I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to until Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m married,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Palin gave birth to a son, Tripp, in December 2008 and says she â&#x20AC;&#x153;wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepared at allâ&#x20AC;? for the dramatic changes in her life since then.

Tires cited in crash involving Blink 182 drummer WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Under-inflated tires â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a problem that may be widespread on business jets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; caused a Learjet crash 18 months ago that killed four people and seriously injured Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and the celebrity disc jockey DJ AM, federal safety investigators said Tuesday.

The National Transportation Safety Board also said that a design Barker flaw in the Learjet 60 and a decision by the flightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captain to abort takeoff in Columbia, S.C., were also at fault in the accident.

Investigators told the board they found that operators of air charters often arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware how rapidly the tires of some business jets can lose pressure and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t checking tire pressure frequently enough.

The board also said the Federal Aviation Administration and Learjet Inc., a subsidiary of Bombardier Aerospace of Canada, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take aggressive enough action to correct a design flaw involving the Learjet 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrust reversers despite knowing that the flaw played a role in a similar 2001 accident in Alabama in which two people were seriously injured.

Official: ‘We need to come clean’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Five days before Toyota announced a massive recall, a U.S. executive at the company wrote in an internal e-mail: “We need to come clean” about accelerator problems, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

“We are not protecting our customers by keeping this quiet,” wrote Irv

Miller, group vice president for environment and public affairs. “The time to hide on this one is over.”

The recently retired Miller wrote the Jan. 16, 2010, e-mail as Toyota officials were on their way to Washington to discuss the problems with federal regulators. On Jan. 21, Toyota announced it would recall 2.3 million vehicles to address sticking pedals in six

vehicle models.

“We better just hope that they can get NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to work with us in coming (up) with a workable solution that does not put us out of business,” Miller wrote.

The e-mail was addressed to Katsuhiko Koganei, executive coordinator for corporate communications for Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc. “I hate to break this to you but WE HAVE A tendency for MECHANICAL failure in accelerator pedals of a certain manufacturer on certain models,” Miller’s e-mail began with several words in capital letters.

In a memo earlier that day, Koganei wrote Mike Michels, vice president of external communications, “Now I talked with you on the phone, we should not mention about the mechanical failures of acc. pedal because we have not clarified the real cause of the sticking acc pedal for-

mally, and the remedy for the matter has not been confirmed.”

Koganei further wrote that Toyota executives were concerned that news of the mechanical failures “might raise another uneasiness of customers.”

The subject line said the e-mail was in regard to a draft statement to respond to an ABC News story.

A Toyota official did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday on the e-mails.

Miller declined comment. His retirement was announced by Toyota on Dec. 16 and his retirement was effective Feb. 1.

The Transportation Department has assessed a record $16.4 million fine on Toyota for failing to alert the U.S. government to the safety problems about the sticking accelerator pedals quickly enough. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Tuesday that Toyota made a “huge mistake” by not disclosing the safety problems sooner.

7.7 quake strikes off Indonesia’s Sumatra island JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A magnitude 7.7 earthquake shook Indonesia’s northwest island of Sumatra early Wednesday, prompting a brief tsunami warning and sending panicked residents rushing for higher ground.

There were scattered reports of injuries, but only minor damage in most areas.

The quake struck at 5:15 a.m. (2215 GMT) and was centered 125 miles (205 kilometers) northwest of the coastal town of Sibolga in Sumatra at a depth of 19 miles (31 kilometers), the U.S. Geological Survey said. It had earlier said the quake measured 7.8.

Indonesia’s Meteorology and Geophysics Agency and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu issued tsunami warnings following the quake, but lifted them two hours later.

A hospital on Simeulue island off the coast of Sumatra admitted 17 people for treatment of injuries sustained in the quake, including four in critical

Scientists confirm that huge lizard is a new species MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Researchers have concluded that a giant, golden-spotted monitor lizard discovered in the forested mountains of the Philippines six years ago is a new species, according to a study released Wednesday.

The 6.5-foot (2-meter) long lizard was first spotted in 2004 in the Sierra Madre mountains on the main island of Luzon when local researchers saw local Agta tribesmen carrying one of the dead reptiles.

But it took until last year to determine it was a new species. After capturing an adult, researchers from the University of Kansas and the National Museum of the Philippines obtained DNA samples that helped confirm the lizard was new to science.

At least 119 killed, 60 missing in Rio mudslides RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Flooding and mudslides from the heaviest deluge ever recorded in Rio killed at least 119 people and left many more homeless, officials said Wednesday as the rains finally began to ease.

A minimum 2,000 people were forced from their homes by punishing rain that filled streets with raging torrents and ground Brazils’ second-biggest city to a halt the previous day. All told, about 11 inches (28 centimeters) fell in the space of 36 hours.

“When the man upstairs sends us this much rain, there isn’t a thing that anyone can do,” Pedro Souza said as he tried to unclog a sewer drain with a broom outside an apartment building in Copacabana.

NCAA WALL AMONG 5 WILDCATS HEADED TO THE NBA

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Freshman All-Americans John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins are among five Kentucky players who have declared for the NBA draft.

Junior forward Patrick Patterson, freshman guard Eric Bledsoe and freshman center Daniel Orton are also entering the draft.

Wall and CousinS are expected to be among the first few players selected.

The five player comprised the core of a team that went 35-3 this season and won the Southeastern Conference regular season and conference tournament titles before falling to West Virginia in the regional finals of the NCAA Tournament.

Coach John Calipari said he met with each player individually and encouraged them to gauge their draft prospects.

TENNIS NAVRATILOVA HAS BREAST CANCER NEW YORK (AP) — Tennis great Martina Navratilova has been diagnosed with a noninvasive form of breast cancer and her prognosis is considered excellent.

Navratilova said in a phone interview Wednesday that a routine mammogram in January found a lump, and a biopsy the following month determined it was ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS. The nine-time Wimbledon women’s singles champion had a lumpectomy in March and will start six weeks of radiation therapy next month.

Lee County pitcher Tyler Lett delivers to the plate for the Yellow Jackets during their softball game against Fuquay-Varina on Wednesday night.

Jackets hope for better showing against Cavs

By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Lee County softball coach Miles McCaskill hopes that tonight’s battle with cross-town foe Southern Lee goes a lot smoother than Wednesday’s game against Fuquay-Varina.

The Yellow Jackets lost 23-0 in four innings of play to the Bengals on Wednesday in Sanford. McCaskill, the third-year coach of the Jackets, hopes that his girls come ready to play against the fundamentally sound Cavaliers.

“Southern Lee’s program is always well-prepared,” said McCaskill. “They’re fundamentally sound and always play well between the lines. If we can take the same approach, I feel that we can be successful.

Southern Lee isn’t going to make it easy for us, though.”

The Cavaliers will travel to Lee County for a 6:30 p.m. opening pitch. Junior varsity action begins at 4:30 p.m. In the chance of rain, the times could possibly be flipped to get the varsity game played.

Yellow Jackets second baseman Tiffany Cox fields a ground ball during Wednesday’s game in Sanford.

WINSTON-SALEM — Dino Gaudio went from coach of the No. 1 team in the nation to out of a job in 15 months.

Wake Forest fired Gaudio on Wednesday after three seasons for failing to win enough games in the postseason.

During a hastily drawn news conference, athletic director Ron Wellman said “the basis for the decision was our late-season and postseason performances.”

In three seasons at the helm at Wake Forest, Gaudio was a combined 1-5 in Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA tournaments.

His only victory came last month in the first round of NCAA tournament against Texas, when Ishmael Smith hit a last-second jumper in overtime. Kentucky then beat the Demon Deacons by 30 points in Round 2.

“This was not a snap decision. It was not a snap judgment,” said Wellman, who served on the NCAA Division I men’s basketball committee this season and was in Indianapolis earlier this week for the Final Four.

“This was not a decision based upon a one-year performance,” he added. “We can put up with a disappointment. We have disappointments all the time. But there is a pattern here that needed to be addressed, a 3-year pattern that needed to be addressed.”

Wellman said the search for Gaudio’s replacement would begin immediately, and that he has kept a wish list of candidates because “you don’t want to be caught unaware or off-guard or

Woods scolded by Masters chairman

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

AUGUSTA, Ga. — On the day Tiger Woods arrived at the Masters, he changed out of his spikes after playing nine holes, walked across the parking lot and went upstairs to the office of Augusta National chairman Billy Payne.

Payne would not discuss details of their Sunday afternoon

■ Tiger Woods’ new Nike TV ad is sure to create a stir. See it and comment on it here: designatedhitter.wordpress.com meeting.

Based on his blunt criticism of Woods during his annual press conference Wednesday, they probably weren’t talking about how Woods was hitting the ball or his chances of winning a fifth green jacket.

“It is simply not the degree of

his conduct that is so egregious here,” Payne said. “It is the fact that he disappointed all of us, and more importantly, our kids and our grandkids. Our hero did not live up to the expectations of the role model we saw for our children.”

They were the strongest words

from a Masters chairman since Hootie Johnson’s famous “point of a bayonet” reply to Martha Burk in the summer of 2002 when he defended the club’s right to an all-male membership.

DUKE BLUE DEVILS

Duke seniors: from 1-and-done to No. 1

By JOEDY McCREARY AP Sports Writer

Jon Scheyer lost his first NCAA tournament game at Duke, and won his last one.

In between, both he and the Blue Devils got better every year.

He came to Durham during one of the proud programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s few lulls under coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Scheyer will leave as a national champion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think many people can say they went

out winning a national championship,â&#x20AC;? Scheyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot to us. ...

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any of us could have predicted the four years we had here. To finish it like this means a lot.â&#x20AC;?

Especially given the journey seniors Lance Thomas, Brian Zoubek and Scheyer took to earn the right to cut down the nets in Indianapolis after holding off Butler 61-59 on Monday night for Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth national title since 1991.

They were the freshmen on the 2006-07 team that had to follow record-setting guard J.J. Redick and had no upper-class leadership â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because, by and large, there WERE no upperclassmen on the roster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on a disappointing team that slipped out of the national rankings for the only time since 1996. That team also had endured a pair of panic-inducing four-game losing streaks and went one-and-done in both the Atlantic Coast Conference

and NCAA tournaments.

They made steady progress during their time at Duke, both in terms of their victory total and their advancement through the bracket. They went from 22 wins during their freshmen season, to 28, then 30 and, finally, finishing with their 35th win of their season in the most important game of their college careers.

They won one tournament game as sophomores, two as juniors and, in their final trip to the NCAAs,

won it all to become the kings of college basketball again.

And they did it in the pressure-cooker that is Duke, which â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fairly or not â&#x20AC;&#x201D; always is held to the high standards of its past (the ghosts of Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley and Shane Battier), and its geography (neighbor North Carolina last year claimed its fifth NCAA tournament title â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one more than the Blue Devils have). â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means the world to us, especially our senior

class,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To come in and get knocked out of this tournament in our first game, and to have to, you know, live with that for the rest of our lives ... (to) just not getting as much success as we want, to leave champions, have our last game, leaving a national championship. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to put words to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We maxed out our season. We maxed out all our practices,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To seal the deal at the end, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really lost for words on it.â&#x20AC;?

Canes to get All-Star Game

Hoffman earns 593rd save

MILWAUKEE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jim Edmondsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leadoff single set up a two-run rally in the sixth inning that put Milwaukee ahead and Trevor Hoffman earned his 593rd career save as the Brewers held off the Colorado Rockies 5-4 on Wednesday.

Edmonds, a 39-year-old former All-Star who spent last season out of baseball, made his second start in right field for Milwaukee. He went 2 for 4 with a double and scored twice.

After losing the season opener, the Brewers took two of three from the Rockies.

Reliever Todd Coffey (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings after a rough start by Doug Davis.

Renteria gets five hits as Giants sweep Astros

nearly twice as much as any other team in baseball, according to the annual estimates by Forbes magazine.

The Yankees were valued at $1.6 billion, Forbes said Wednesday, up 7 percent from a $1.5 billion value last year.

Boston was next, going up 4 percent to $870 million and was followed by the New York Mets, who dropped 6 percent to $858 million. The Los Angeles Dodgers, caught in divorce proceedings of its owners, were fourth with a 1 percent increase to $727 million.

Minnesota had a 14 percent rise to $405 million following its move to Target Field.

Pittsburgh was last at $289 million, just below Oakland, which dropped 8 percent to $295 million.

Ortiz still in lineup after losing cool

HOUSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Edgar Renteria tied a career high with five hits and the San Francisco Giants broke away from the Houston Astros 104 Wednesday to complete a season-opening three-game sweep.

The Giants are 3-0 for the first time since 2003, when they began with a sweep at San Diego and won seven straight. Houston last started 0-3 in 2007.

It was 4-all when Juan Uribe doubled in the eighth inning and scored the goahead run when Sammy Gervacio (0-1) threw away a bunt. The Giants added another run in the inning, then scored four times in the ninth.

Aaron Rowand had four of the Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 19 hits.

Yankees worth $1.6 billion

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The New York Yankees are worth

BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; David Ortiz remains in the Red Sox lineup after losing his cool just two hitless games into the season.

The designated hitter was in the fifth spot against the New York Yankees on Wednesday night after going 0 for 7 and leaving three runners in scoring position.

After Boston lost 6-4 Tuesday night, Ortiz he initially declined to talk with reporters. He then reacted to a question about his poor start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up with that, man?â&#x20AC;? he said. In an expletive-filled tirade, the slugger said there were still 160 games left.

Before Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, manager Terry Francona reacted calmly to his starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes guys get touchy after a game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally pay much attention to it.â&#x20AC;?

From left, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player walk down the first fairway during the par-3 tournament at the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga., Wednesday.

Old-timers a thing of the past at Masters AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Scenes of 70somethings trudging up and down the hills of Augusta National, sometimes using their clubs as canes and struggling to break 90, is a Masters tradition no more.

Most of the old-timers have faded away, relegated to the par-3 tournament or ceremonial duties. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been done in by a supersized course thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just no fun to play for a senior citizen.

When the Masters begins Thursday, there will be four teenagers in the field â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and only one golfer as old as 60. He happens to be the turn-back-the-clock player who almost won the British Open last year, Tom Watson.

Turns out, the guys in the green jackets came up with a gentle shove out the door that worked even better than a letter: 7,435 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This a young manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf course, by golly, since they added all the length to it,â&#x20AC;? said 58-year-old Fuzzy Zoeller, who called it quits after last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I retired because I got to the point to where I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like I was competitive.

competitive, what the hell are you doing out there?â&#x20AC;?

Sixty-seven-year-old Raymond Floyd was the latest to step aside, announcing this week heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had enough after 45 straight appearances. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bother with a couple of farewell rounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; calling it quits right then and there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was something that I toyed with pretty much all year as to whether I would play or not,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go out and embarrass myself, or play the best I could and make a whole lot of putts so I could shoot in the 70s.â&#x20AC;?

This Masters will start with ceremonial tee shots by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, who combined for 10 green jackets and 95 Augusta appearances during their long, brilliant careers.

Nicklaus stopped playing five years ago at age 65, the age former Augusta National chairman Hootie Johnson proposed as the cutoff for past champions to give up cherished exemptions that were supposed to last a lifetime.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Carolina Hurricanes will soon host an NHL AllStar game.

Commissioner Gary Bettman is scheduled to attend a news conference in Raleigh on Thursday afternoon for what the team called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;majorâ&#x20AC;? announcement.

Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford said the team will host an All-Star game at the RBC Center in one of the next three seasons, though he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confirm which year.

The franchise hosted the 2004 NHL draft, and the area has since added more high-end hotel rooms and opened a new convention center that the league had said were needed to attract the all-star game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a big announcement for us,â&#x20AC;? Rutherford said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a very successful draft in Raleigh. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some good runs in the playoffs.

People that come to our market are excited about being here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that we have a new convention center and more hotels and all the things the league told us weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d need, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in position to get it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting for us and our fans and the market.â&#x20AC;?

Rutherford said the franchise told the league when it applied for the game that â&#x20AC;&#x153;our preference was sooner than later.â&#x20AC;?

National members who stood among the Georgia pines to the right of the first fairway on Monday, the first time Woods played before a gallery since being caught cheating on his wife five months ago.

No other golf official has been so outspoken about Woods’ behavior.

No other major is like the Masters.

Even though Woods is a four-time champion and the No. 1 player in the world, he is at Augusta National by invitation, just like the other 95 players who will tee it up on Thursday.

played his final practice round — nine holes with Mark O’Meara — and left the course when Payne held his news conference.

The chairman saved his thoughts on Woods for the end of his opening statement.

“Is there a way forward? I hope yes. I think yes,” Payne said. “But certainly, his future will never again be measured only by his performance against par; but measured by the sincerity of his efforts to change.

“I hope he now realizes that every kid he passes on the course wants his swing, but would settle for his smile.”

It was the final press conference before the Masters begins with more scrutiny — more curiosity

— than ever of Woods. No one knows what to expect from his game because Woods has not competed since winning the Australian Masters on Nov. 15.

“He should do pretty good — he’s coming off a win,” Robert Allenby cracked.

Woods has appeared to be as interested in his behavior as his performance during the practice rounds. He is smiling more, making eye contact, even signing more autographs.

Payne declined to discuss what type of security was in place, nor was he overly concerned that the return of Woods might overshadow a tournament that attracts the largest golf audience of the year.

“I want to thank Wake Forest for the opportunity it gave me and my staff three years ago,” Gaudio said in a statement issued Wednesday night by the school. “I’m proud of what we accomplished on the court, in the classroom and in the community. We worked hard, did the very best we could and I wish the basketball program the very best in the future.”

End Tee Times

The Bengals scored 15 runs in the first inning and some impressive Lee County defense kept them off the board until the top of the fourth.

“Hats off to Fuquay,” said McCaskill. “From my viewpoint, I just don’t think we had a good practice on Tuesday. We weren’t focused and just not prepared. Fuquay-Varina hit the ball very well and they deserve a lot of credit.”

The Cavaliers played

Richmond County on Wednesday. Results of the game were not available at presstime. McCaskill says that there are three main things that the Cavaliers do well.

“Southern Lee can put the ball in play,” said McCaskill, “they move runners over and they always limit defensive mistakes. If we can bring our A-game, I think we have a chance of being successful.”

of the decision Wednesday afternoon and the coach was surprised but “handled it as professionally as anyone could ever handle it.”

Gaudio was 61-31 at Wake Forest since he was promoted in 2007 to replace his longtime friend, Skip Prosser, who died of a heart attack that summer. The school gave Gaudio a contract extension in October through the 2013-14 season, adding an extra two years onto the five-year deal he signed upon taking over.

Wake Forest did not disclose Gaudio’s salary or any other details of the contract, as is customary at the small, private school. But Wellman acknowledged that “there is a buyout clause in the contract and that will be honored, most definitely.”

“Six months ago, I was convinced that we were going to perform better at the

end of the season,” Wellman said. “That did not happen.”

Wake Forest opened the 2008-09 season 16-0 and spent a week at No. 1 — the second time the Demon Deacons had ever claimed the top ranking. But they tailed off after that, finishing 24-7 and going one-anddone in both the ACC and NCAA tournaments.

They were the highest seed to lose in the first round that year when they lost to No. 13 seed Cleveland State.

“We started off 16-0, No. 1 in the country, then lay an egg in the NCAA tournament — it tore us to pieces when we knew we weren’t going to finish our dream,” guard L.D. Williams said before the season. “All season long, coach Gaudio talked about ’Final Four, Final Four, Final Four,’ and we don’t even make the final 32. It kills us every day.”

All ABout Ladybugs!

The ladybug is a type of beetle that is known for its round shape, red wings, and black spots. In some parts of the world it is referred to as a ladybird beetle, a ladyclock, a lady cow, or as the lady fly. Most of the species of ladybugs are actually black, gray, or brown in color, though some can be orange and yellow as well. Because of their colors and markings, ladybugs do not have many natural enemies. The bright color signals to other insects and small animals that they may be distasteful or even poisonous. They are widely used to protect crops against a type of insect called an aphid, or plant lice. Ladybugs eat the aphids without harming the crops as the lice do. Ladybugs can be found on almost any surface; they can produce a sticky substance that allows them to walk on smooth surfaces, as well as tiny claws that allow them to climb up grass and other rougher surfaces. They have wings and can fly. In the winter, they go into hibernation. Sometimes they choose to hibernate in groups in houses, which creates a pest problem for homeowners. Ladybugs are very popular. They are often used as symbols or logos for companies, as well as in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dĂŠcor.

BRIDGE HAND

When it comes to adopting a pet, old is often better

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: If you aren’t organized and precise in the way you do things, you will face complaints. Work and money should take priority, regardless of the pressures being put on you in your personal life.

Uncertainty will arise regarding some of the people you deal with professionally. Protect your assets and your future.

Your numbers are 7, 10, 18, 25, 29, 33, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your generosity may have taxed you physically and financially but, in the end, what you have accomplished should be worth your while. The trust you build with each and every person you deal with will help you resolve issues.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Assess your situation and refuse to let anyone pressure you into making a decision before you are good and ready. If something isn’t on your terms, chances are you will not be happy with the result.

Don’t compensate for someone’s inexperience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Dig deep and you’ll find the information you need to avoid making a poor decision. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Exaggeration is the enemy and doing flawless research is your guiding light.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can make some professional changes that will allow you to raise your income, but counting on money before it’s actually in your hand is not a good idea. An old friend may ask for a loan or donation.

Offer time, not money.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your ability to act fast and counter any deals that may affect your status quo will be your saving grace. Someone from your past who has expertise and the experience you need, will be able to help you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22): Don’t believe every-

WORD JUMBLE

thing you are told. Do your homework. Travel and getting involved in activities that promote love will be life-changing.

Don’t give in to anyone pestering you for money or possessions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may try to get the most for the least but, in the end, it will cost you personally. Concentrate on getting to know people with something to offer that motivates you. Fix up your home — the pleasure derived will outweigh any distaste at the work you experienced.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t let anyone’s negative attitude slow you down or stand in your way. You have to do what’s best for you.

Follow your heart and you will achieve your goals and meet people who want to share your success with you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Trying to avoid emotional problems will only make matters worse.

Honesty will be a must if you don’t want to face criticism. A dispute over money can ruin a relationship. Have a workable solution in mind.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Set the ground rules and stick to them.

Entertaining the people you enjoy most will also enhance your relationships. Your knowledge and expertise will lead to deals requiring your skills.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t be too quick to share your deepest thoughts or you will end up in a vulnerable position. Face facts when dealing with people who are too complimentary.

Not everyone has your best interest at heart.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): By not sharing your secrets, you will avoid worrying about what others think and how they will react. Diplomacy will help you through the day and enable you to bypass any difficulty. Less can be more if you are smart, precise and stick to a budget.

DEAR ABBY: We are seniors like “Thinking About Adopting in Las Vegas” (Feb. 2), who wants to adopt a dog. He may find it difficult to adopt one, especially since big hearts and lots of love and patience many times aren’t considered “enough” today. We were denied every dog we wanted to adopt until a volunteer at Petfinder.com advised us that considering our ages, we should adopt a senior dog. We took their advice and have been blessed with 9-year-old Benji for almost a year.

Puppies are like grandchildren — full of love, but they can leave us seniors exhausted. Senior dogs nap, are more mellow than puppies and are usually housebroken.

If that man outlives his dog, he’ll know he gave his precious little one a good home and lots of love.

If Petfinder is in his area, they will make sure your little one is adopted into the perfect home — not just “any” home.

— BENJI’S PARENTS IN WASHINGTON STATE DEAR BENJI’S PARENTS: Thank you for supporting the adoption of older dogs. Readers provided some doggone good resources for adopting — or acting as a foster parent — for an abandoned or abused dog. Read on: DEAR ABBY: In most states

passed up at the pound will get a new leash on life.

people can now create a trust for their pet. They can put funds into it and, in this way, benefit their pet by naming a trustee and caretaker to assure it will be taken care of until it passes away. In the trust they can state all their wishes, as singer Dusty Springfield did in stating she wanted her dog fed only imported baby food, its bed lined with her nightgowns and her records played when it went to sleep.

— MARC S. IN CLEVELAND DEAR ABBY: Most Humane Societies now offer a “senior for senior” discount where a qualified senior citizen can adopt a senior companion animal, usually 7 years old or older, with all the fees waived.

Please tell “Thinking” that he can find what he’s looking for in companionship, and a middle-aged or older dog that would usually be

DEAR ABBY: Many dog rescues need kind, loving foster homes for abused and abandoned animals who are awaiting adoption. It is hard to give up a dog after you have fostered and taken care of it for a while, and you do have the option of adopting it yourself, but believe me, this is definitely a worthwhile cause. When you take in a foster, their eyes are dull. But after receiving love and attention from a caregiver, those eyes sparkle and you know you have done something wonderful.

— JILLIE IN HUMBLE, TEXAS DEAR ABBY: After practicing as a vet for 35 years, may I offer a suggestion to your readers? Wonderful older pets are put to sleep every day at shelters across the country. These pets are usually housetrained, leash-trained, calm and eager for love and attention.

Puppies (and kittens), on the other hand, need constant attention, training and activity.

Visit a pet shelter, and you may find your “perfect” companion patiently waiting for your love.

Spotted: Philadelphia eagles of the feathered kind

Ohio boy, 8, takes family van for gas, crashes

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A pair of Philadelphia eagles are causing some excitement, but it has nothing to do with football.

These bald eagles have beaten high odds and are raising two eaglets in the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum, near Philadelphia International Airport. Officials say they’re the first bald eagles ever to do so on the refuge.

Refuge manager Gary Stolz says eagles are normally sensitive to city noise and have been known to abandon nests in urban environments, but this pair seem to not be bothered by the planes overhead.

Stolz says the eagles are looking good, stretching their wings and helping out the refuge by eating invasive carp. The eaglets could be flying in about a month.

BETHEL, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man says his 8-year-old son was just trying to do him a favor and get gasoline when the boy drove the family’s minivan and crashed it.

James Crouch says he didn’t even realize his son, Jordan, was out of the house Friday morning until a Clermont County sheriff’s deputy came to the family’s home in Bethel and woke him up to let him know what happened.

The boy says he used keys that he found in his mother’s purse and backed the car out of the driveway. He started going down the road at about 5 mph but could barely reach the pedals and lost control, crashing into a telephone pole.

He wasn’t hurt.

Crouch says Jordan was still in his pajamas and just wanted to do something nice. He says he’s going to watch his son more closely now.

Man allegedly steals vacuum with his kids with him

Officer nabs alleged thief who asks for directions

FRAMINGTON, N.Y. (AP) — An upstate New York man was accused of stealing a vacuum cleaner from a department store on Friday — with his children there.

State police said Richard Dekenipp was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and robbery. After the 42year-old man allegedly stole the vacuum cleaner, police said he struck a security guard with his car in the parking lot.

The guard wrote down his license plate and Dekenipp was later arrested at his home. His car was found abandoned at the Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack parking lot.

OREM, Utah (AP) — Utah police say a man accused of stealing two phones from a convenience store was arrested when he flagged down the investigating officer and asked for directions.

Police say the officer noticed that John White matched the description a store clerk gave of the thief, and the address White wanted turned out to be the same one the officer was checking.

The address had been left on a slip of paper the thief left at a gas station.

White was arrested Tuesday after the officer found he had both phones, along with a small amount of marijuana.

Resist the devil, walk with Christ Q: Does the devil ever give up on us and let us alone because he knows we won’t listen to him? With God’s help, I’ve been able to deal with some really bad problems in my life, but sometimes I wonder if the temptation to fall back into my old ways will ever go away. -- Z.K. A: I’m thankful for the difference Christ has made in your life -- and I pray you will continue to rely on Him for the strength you need to resist temptation. We get in trouble when we rely on ourselves for strength -- but when we rely on God, He helps us overcome even Satan’s strongest assaults.

No, Satan never gives up and decides to let us alone, because his goal is to draw us away from God -- and he always hopes he’ll be able to do this. And let’s face it: Sometimes he’s successful.

This is why the Apostle Paul warned, “If you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!” (1 Corinthians 10:12).

Never forget: Satan is our enemy in the spiritual battles we face -- and like any enemy, he constantly seeks to find a weak point in our lives where he may attack. Sometimes his attacks are very obvious -- but sometimes he’s very subtle, attacking us when we don’t even realize it. He may no longer attack you where he has before, for example - but he may try to fill you with pride, or impatience, or fears about the future.

The key is to walk with Christ every day, through prayer, obeying His Word, and fellowship with other believers. The Bible says, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you” (James 4:7-8).
