CRANKED UP

More than 1,000 expected at next weekend’s festival at Old Gilliam Park to see history up close By R.V. HIGHT hight@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — When Stephen Henley built a mill in 1850, at the site of the present Gilliam Mill just west of Sanford, he might never have imagined that the site would one day host a festival. The 30th annual Ole Mill Crank-Up is set for May 15-16 at the Ole Gilliam Mill Park, of which the centerpiece is a reproduction of the Gilliam Mill built by Worth Pickard with the help of Eddie Paschal, Bill Freeman, Bill Nielsen and George Pickard. The original mill, owned by Henley, was sold to Alexander McIver. It was later leased to Howell and John and Jessie Gilliam, who eventually bought the mill in 1890. But, in 1928, it was washed away by a flood. Pickard, whose grandfather moved to the area in

WANT TO GO? Old Gilliam Mill will be the site of the 30th annual Old Mill Crank-Up, a festival honoring the history of Lee County and the spirit of those who relied on the mill for their way of life more than 100 years ago, is set for May 15 and 16 at the park, located on Carbonton Road toward the Chatham County line.

1878, decided to rebuild the mill, which opened in the late 1970s. “I would say if you want to see how North Carolina was at the turn of the century, around the 1900s, you can come out and see a lot of it,”

Worth Pickard said of the mill. “You’ll see a lot of the kind of work that made this country.” He remembers the first Crank-Up included the mill, along with two tractors and five engines. It drew about 100 spectators. Now, there’s much to see and do at the Crank-Up, which draws from 800 to 1,500 people each year. The mill grinds cornmeal and grits, which is available for purchase. There’s also a real whiskey still, a sawmill, and hit and miss engines. There’s soapmaking. Wood turning. Weaving and spinning wool. Arts and crafts. Music and entertainment. Tractor rides. There’s also a 140-foot covered bridge. And on Sunday, there will be an 8 a.m. church service.

SANFORD — You may want to put more than just your paid bills in the mailbox for your carrier to collect this morning. The nation’s largest singleday food drive returns to Sanford today, when United States Postal Service letter carriers collect non-perishable donations from homes as they deliver mail along their routes. Every second Saturday in May letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America collect nonperishable food items through the NALC Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive — the largest one-day food drive in the nation and probably the world. Residents served by the Sanford post office may place non-perishable food in a bag and place the bag in their mailboxes or hanging from the box. Led by letter carriers represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers (AFL-CIO), with the help of rural letter carriers, other postal employees and numerous other volunteers, the drive has resulted in delivery of nearly one billion pounds of donations to community food banks and pantries over the past 17 years. Food received from the local drive will be delivered to Christians United Outreach Center to feed hungry families in Lee County. To protect the contributions and make collections easier for mail carriers, officials ask resi-

Almanac Today is Saturday, May 8, the 128th day of 2010. There are 237 days left in the year. This day in history: On May 8, 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced in a radio address that Nazi Germany’s forces had surrendered in World War II, and that “the flags of freedom fly all over Europe.” In 1794, Antoine Lavoisier (lah-vwahzYAY’), the father of modern chemistry, was executed on the guillotine during France’s Reign of Terror. In 1846, the first major battle of the Mexican-American War was fought at Palo Alto, Texas; U.S. forces led by Gen. Zachary Taylor were able to beat back the Mexican forces. In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon was shoved, stoned, booed and spat upon by anti-American protesters in Lima, Peru. In 1962, the musical comedy “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” opened on Broadway. In 1970, antiwar protests took place across the United States and around the world; in New York, construction workers broke up a demonstration on Wall Street. In 1973, militant American Indians who’d held the South Dakota hamlet of Wounded Knee for ten weeks surrendered. In 1978, David R. Berkowitz pleaded guilty in a Brooklyn courtroom to murder, attempted murder and assault in connection with the “Son of Sam” shootings that had terrified New Yorkers. In 1984, the Soviet Union announced it would boycott the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

Arrest made in Spring Lake murder investigation

LILLINGTON (MCT) —Investigators made an arrest early Friday in the death of a man found inside a burning home off N.C. 210 Thursday. Pressley Parks, 26, of Spring Lake, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of William Frank Smith Jr., 49, of 30 Appaloosa Drive in Spring Lake, according to a release from the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office. The fire at Smith’s home near the Cumberland County line was reported about 8 a.m., the release said. Firefighters from the Anderson Creek Fire Department found Smith when they went inside the house, the release said. Lawmen were called and found that Smith’s vehicle was missing. It was found abandoned a few miles from the house, the release said. Investigators say the fire was deliberately set in an effort to destroy evidence in Smith’s death, the release said. The fire was limited to one room and caused minor damage, the release said. Parks is being held in the Harnett County Detention Center without bail. — Fayetteville Observer

CHATHAM COUNTY

Residents urged to complete survey to promote Internet

PITTSBORO — County officials have urged residents, businesses, farmers and other groups to take advantage of a chance to speak out on their access to the internet through a new online survey launched by the e-NC Authority. The survey seeks direct public input about broadband access and use across the state. The survey is available through May 19. According to the e-NC Authority, “this survey is part of a rigorous broadband mapping and planning project for North Carolina that will surpass all previous work in broadband mapping and planning. The design and size of this survey will provide businesses, organizations, decision-makers and citizens with the most comprehensive and accurate information on the status, uses and challenges of highspeed broadband in North

Carolina.â€? “This is a vital opportunity for our county to have a voice on the lack of high-speed internet access in many areas of Chatham County,â€? said Commissioner Tom Vanderbeck, who serves on the e-NC Authority’s Board of Directors. “The survey is one of the best ways to document that we have many county areas either without access at all‌or access that is slow, costly or unreliableâ€? Some residents may receive an email from Strategic Networks Group requesting them to participate, but anyone can participate through the e-NC Authority’s Web site at: www.e-nc.org.

Region warned of heightened fire risk this weekend FAYETTEVILLE (MCT) — An approaching cold front has prompted the National Weather Service to warn about the risk of fires for part of the Cape Fear region. Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Moore, Sampson and Scotland counties are under the advisory through Saturday. Friday’s hot and humid conditions have given way to the cold front that will bring in drier, cooler air today, the advisory said. The counties included in the advisory are already under a drought advisory because of abnormally high conditions. “The lack of rainfall and the conditions being so dry are right for fires,� said Richard Bradshaw, a Fayetteville Fire Department battalion commander. “The cold front will drop the humidity,� he said. “With the lack of rainfall and the low humidity, fires thrive on that and can escalate quickly.� Winds are expect to increase to between 10 mph and 15 mph this morning with gusts between 30 mph and 35 mph in the afternoon, the advisory said. — Fayetteville Observer

The governor’s budget and what’s ahead The View Issue: Gov. Bev Perdue’s budget was recently presented to the General Assembly, and there’s little chance it will be approved as is

The stance: The economic improvements are not coming fast enough to shore up the state budget.

Winston-Salem Journal

T

here’s little chance that the 2010-11 budget revisions Gov. Bev Perdue presented recently will make it into law as is. The General Assembly reconvenes in a couple of weeks and, as is custom, legislators will make many changes to the executive branch’s proposal. Legislators want to pass their own spending plan by July 1. Perdue’s budget, nonetheless, tells North Carolinians something very important about the condition of their state government: It’s not good. Perdue does not propose any tax increases, although she does

propose some fee increases. On the bottom line for the General Fund, she is proposing to spend $410 million less in state money next fiscal year than she and legislators had planned when they passed the two-year state budget last summer. Across the state and nation there are some signs that the economy is reawakening from the recession. The federal government reported a very healthy increase in total employment in March, consumer confidence is up a bit and consumers are spending more. Unfortunately, the improvements are not coming fast enough to shore up the state

budget. Perdue does not propose a raise for state employees this year and she cuts as much as 7 percent in some departments. Perdue found it possible to provide money for increased enrollments at both the community colleges and UNC campuses. But that money is offset, to a degree, by cuts to those two systems, also. The public schools suffer more cuts, although they are not as deep as in the other departments. ... North Carolina revenues will not improve until the state’s unemployment rate, now hovering around 11 percent, drops significantly. If people aren’t working,

they aren’t paying income taxes and they probably aren’t buying items and paying sales taxes, either. And if people aren’t buying, then business profits, and thus business income taxes, aren’t rising. To her credit, Perdue found some efficiencies that she plans to implement. She wants to cut spending by relatively small amounts in a number of areas. And she’s proposed several initiatives to help create new jobs. Happy days may arrive again sometime, but it doesn’t appear we’ll be singing that tune in the near future.

Giant among the Latinos

S

AN ANTONIO — It was over frozen lattes three blocks from the Alamo that Lydia Camarillo and I discussed the wave of Latino voters expected to change politics in Texas — and America. Camarillo is vice president of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project, a group that signs up new Hispanic voters and spurs them to the polls. Some Texans predict that the “Latino giant” won’t fully flex its political might until 2012. Some say 2014. Others see the tough immigration law in Arizona moving the impact to this year. All agree that when Latinos arrive at the polls in huge numbers, the results won’t please Republicans. “I think they know that the day is coming,” Camarillo said. “That’s why they are coming up with obstructions, such as voter ID laws.” And there’s not much Republicans can do about a surging Latino electorate in the short term. Even if they appeal to more Latino voters and Hispanic turnout stays weak, the raw numbers may overwhelm them. As Rice University political analyst Bob Stein explains, over the past three decades, Latino support for Democrats in Texas has actually fallen from 75 percent to 60 percent. But as Democrats lost 15 percentage points, they almost doubled in the number of votes received because of the explosive growth in the Latino population. “The Democrats can afford to lose a significant percentage of the vote and still gain on the base,” Stein said. “Elections are determined by how many votes you get.” And the expansion of that base is extraordinary. Steve Murdock, former director of the U.S. Census and now a professor at Rice University, has the numbers. In 1980, there were 3 million Hispanics in Texas. In 2008, the total nearly reached 9 million, and projections put it at almost 10 million this year. “One national figure that sticks out is the change in the under-20 population,” Murdock told me. Between 2000 and 2008, the number of 20-and-under non-Hispanic whites fell by 2.6 million, while Latinos increased by 3.8 million. “In many ways, the Texas of today is the U.S. of tomorrow,” he added. Will events in Arizona raise Latino turnout this year? While many Hispanics oppose illegal immigration, this law is being perceived as singling out their kind, and Texas Republicans know it. Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who is running for re-election, quickly distanced himself from the Arizona law. Democrats are sitting back and hoping this will help their candidate, former Houston Mayor Bill White. Texas will probably gain three or four U.S. House seats in the new census. The state legislature, working with the governor, will help draw the new district lines. Suppose White wins and Republicans lose their majority in the Texas House, which now stands at only three seats. Another messy redistricting process is guaranteed, but this time to the Democrats’ advantage.

Lumbees, Lewin & Lowery

A

re you trying to make sense out of the latest news from the Lumbee Tribe? According to news reports, the Lumbee Tribal Council has approved a contract with a Nevada-based lobbying firm that will attempt to persuade Congress to grant the tribe full recognition without any restrictions on gambling ventures. A bill granting recognition but restricting gambling has passed the House of Representatives and has been waiting on action by the Senate. The shocker in the new contract with Lewin International is a provision that would require the Lumbees to pay Lewin $35 million if Congress grants recognition and permits gambling, unless the tribe votes to set up a gambling operation run by Lewin. The contract with Lewin has some of the 50,000 or more Lumbees who live in and around Robeson County worried and angry. Just when a compromise recognition bill was finally about to become law, they say that the tribal leadership changed directions, put the recognition effort in jeopardy, and risks the loss of $35 million, a substantial part of the tribe’s assets. Just when we are trying to make sense of the Lumbee actions and as people start asking questions about the tribe’s history, a new book comes to the rescue. The book is “Lumbee Indians in the Jim Crow South: Race, Identity, and the Making of a Nation.” Its author, a Lumbee Indian, is UNC-Chapel Hill Assistant Professor of History Malinda Maynor Lowery. Although the Lumbees are the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi River, they have had to struggle for appropriate recognition and acceptance. Some North Carolinians question whether or not they are “real Indians.” So have agencies of the federal and state government. But, although there may be disagreements about issues that affect them, the Lumbees have no doubt that they, their families, and the groups of their neighbors and kinsfolk who have lived for hundreds of years in and around the swampy lands that border the Lumbee River are Indian people. Professor Lowery supports their claim. Her new book lays out in detail how these peoples have worked, plotted, fought, and compromised in order to preserve and enhance their Indian heritage. To accommodate the white establishment’s notions of Indian governance, the Lumbees tried a series of tribal names — Croatan, Siouan, Cherokee, and Tuscarora. To gain and retain recognition and support from the state, they accommodated themselves to the Jim Crow racial culture of the South. They submitted to studies that evaluated their “Indianess” based on dubious scientific measurements of physical

D.G. Martin One on One D.G. Martin is host of UNC-TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch

features that supposedly defined race. And in 1956, they had to accept a form of Federal recognition that denied them every benefit given to other Native Americans. Lowery believes that the identity of the Lumbee is defined primarily, not by the percentage of Indian blood, but by kinship, mutual recognition, and strong and longstanding connections to the land. With this background, she says, lack of government recognition “did not prevent the Indians in Robeson County from becoming a nation.” She quotes Lumbee Attorney Arlinda Locklear, the first Native American lawyer to appear before the U.S. Supreme Court, “We have always been independent and self-determining communities . . . [Sovereignty is] not bestowed by government . . .” Nevertheless, the goal of full Federal recognition is one of those things that holds Lumbees together. But, decisions about the strategy and tactics of securing recognition can divide them. According to Lowery, Arlinda Locklear has been working on behalf of the Lumbee Tribe since 1983 in the effort to secure Congressional action to recognize the tribe. Reportedly, she worked mostly for free. Ironically, the Tribal Council’s new contract replaces Locklear with Lewin International. It is a result that not even Lowery’s wonderful book can make me understand. o

Today’s Prayer ... he did not remember to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy. (Psalm 109:16) PRAYER: Help us, Father, when we are hurting, comfort and sustain us is our prayer. Amen.

To the Editor: This letter to the editor is to ask very simple questions about the Lee County Board of Commissioners. Note: Prior to submission of this letter to The Sanford Herald, I have sent it to the entire BOC. This letter is now being put forth for you, the readers, to think about. Do their loyalties lie with large corporations, basically owned by non local individuals/corporations, or to local small business entrepreneurs who struggle each day to keep their local businesses alive and hire local people when they can afford to? It appears to me they don’t lie with the locals. Rather, they continue to funnel your and my hard earned tax dollars to those corporations who basically threaten to forsake Lee County/Sanford if we don’t “ante up” to keep them here. For some reason, this sounds like bribery or extortion to this old simple country boy! Of course, what do I know? I am not as learned or scholarly as the BOC must be? One final question-What real productive accomplishments can be attributed directly to the EDC? Maybe their elimination could cut unnecessary costs. I will conclude with the following. I urge every small business owner to apply for an incentive or tax break and see how much you receive. After all, I will bet that 8 or 10 of you would create as many jobs and cost a lot less.

The Sanford Herald / Saturday, May 8, 2010 / 7A

‘Crank-Up’ just part of what old mill offers

T

his week, we Take 5 with Worth Pickard, the president of the board of directors of Ole Gilliam Mill Park on the eve of the 30th annual “Ole Mill Crank-Up.� The event is scheduled for next weekend — May 15 and 16 — at the park, located off Hwy. 42 West four miles from Sanford. Pickard — recognized earlier this year as a “Lifetime Achievement Award� winner by The Herald — and his wife, Nancy, donated the mill, existing buildings and 15 acres of land to the non-profit park in 2000.

Q

: How has the Ole Gilliam Mill site evolved over the years?

A: The original mill was built in 1850. It changed hands a couple of times and was owned by the Gilliam family until it was washed away by a flood in 1928. We completed the present mill just up the creek from the original site in 1979 — it’s a faithful recreation of the original mill, and we keeping adding things and making improvements all the time.

Q

: This year’s annual “crank-up� is the 30th. What’s new, and what can people who attend the event expect to see? A: We might have one or two extra things this year. We’ll have our own ice cream machine in one of the cabins. They could come and see steam engines running, a sawmill that “made� Sanford in operation, a grist mill running... They can have a good meal served by a church group. They can go to Bill Freeman Sr.’s frontier cabin. They can see women making homemade soap. There’ll be a man there carving with a chainsaw, a blacksmith working, women quilting... We hope to have a few old cars there and even a real whiskey still operating.

Take with

5

Worth Pickard

Old Gilliam Mill they wouldn’t be interested in seeing the mill and attending the event? A: I would say if you want to see how North Carolina was at the turn of the century, around the 1900s, you can come out and see a lot of it. You’ll see a lot of the kind of work that made this country.

Q

: Does it frustrate you than younger generations don’t have as much interest in history? A: A lot of young people don’t necessarily care about history, but other people certainly do. A lot of people do appreciate it. You just have to go there to see it. It’s a right pretty place. During the Crank-Up, the Creek Laurel will be in bloom. The good Lord planted that there for us, and it’s something you just have to see.

Q

: The Ole Gilliam Mill has been a project you’ve been devoted to for many years. How much work is left to do there? A: I keep telling people that when they see me going to Buffalo Cemetery, they’ll know I’m through!

lem pets. Broadway received her lay-off notice in November 2008, but by that time she was already making plans. “I thought I could get another job in biotechnology or pharmaceuticals, but everybody was laying off,� she said. “So, I asked myself, ‘If I were truly doing what would make me happy, what would I do?’ The answer was, ‘Duh — you’re already doing it: training dogs.’� Starting her own dog training business was an appealing idea, but she knew she needed help in making the transition from a sideline of training dogs to becoming a small business owner and all that entails. She also knew where to find that help — at the Small Business Center at Central Carolina C.C.’s Chatham County Campus, in Pittsboro. Gary Kibler, SBCChatham director, calls on his 17 years of experience in marketing for major corporations, as well as operating his own businesses, to counsel fledgling small business people like Broadway. “An economic downturn is traumatic for those losing their jobs or seeing their small business decline,� Kibler said. “On the positive side, it can provide the impetus for a person to finally pursue his or her dream of owning a small business or an opportunity to make changes to the business model in order to survive and thrive. Either way, the

college’s Small Business Center is here to help.� Kibler and Broadway discussed her goals and decided a sole proprietorship was the best fit. They talked about identifying a target audience and how to reach them, keeping financial records, getting a business checking account, business insurance, paying herself, and visiting the tax office and county Registrar of Deeds to legally set up her business. “Gary gave me the feeling that I could have a thriving business,� Broadway said. “He explained the process and kept in touch to see how things were going. He also gave me information on classes at the college that would help me as a small business owner, such as QuickBooks, accounting, and small business management.� The date March 28, 2009, was an exciting day for this fledging entrepreneur — she officially opened her Canine Coaching Services at her Pleasant Hill Road home, between Siler City and Pittsboro. “The Small Business Center has been invaluable,� Broadway said. “You get to talk with people who are experts and know what resources are available. I feel like I’ve gotten a 20-year jump on what I like to

do. I have the potential to grow three-fold — that’s my goal.� Broadway loves what she does, helping dogs and their owners establish a relationship that is rewarding for both of them. The root of most problems, she said, is that the dog doesn’t recognize the owner as its leader. That leaves the dog feeling insecure and it can become fearful or aggressive. For most pets and owners, it doesn’t take long to get the relationship established under Broadway’s expertise. Her clients are impressed with the changes she can make in their problem pets. “My Great Dane, Belle, was very nervous in new situations and around people,� said Christine Jackson, of Orange County. “A veterinary recommended Valerie to me and she helped my dog become more confident, more settled. Valerie is very dedicated and loves animals. “She’s committed to doing everything she can to help dogs.� Broadway is just one of many entrepreneurs and small business people who have been helped to succeed by the college’s Small Business Center network, which includes Chatham County SBC, Lee County SBC, and the Harnett

County SBC at Triangle South Enterprises. Central Carolina is the only North Carolina community college to have separate business centers located in each of the multiple counties it serves.

STATE BRIEFS

Pardon delayed for innocent man Chrissy Pearson said the governor also doesn’t want any doubt cast when she grants a pardon of innocence. Taylor is eligible for $750,000 in compensation if Perdue grants a pardon based on innocence. “The governor feels from what she has seen from the innocence commission this should be an easy decision with the pardon application,� Pearson said. “But she does not want to make that call with that question remaining from the Raleigh Police Department to draw any doubt on her decision. She would rather give it a couple of weeks and find the DNA evidence exonerates him without any question.� Taylor, who could have demanded the return of his clothing after the innocence verdict,

By MARTHA WAGGONER Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — The North Carolina man declared innocent of murder in the first case of its kind in the country is still awaiting a pardon because the governor won’t grant it until she gets more evidence, a decision that a leader of the state’s innocence movement called outrageous. A spokeswoman for Gov. Beverly Perdue said Friday that Perdue is waiting for the results of tests on the clothing worn by Greg Taylor the night that Jacquetta Thomas was killed in September 1991. Taylor agreed in March to let Raleigh police test that clothing, saying he wanted no doubt about his innocence. Perdue spokeswoman

said he would have done so had he known that the testing would delay his pardon. “With the police and courts already declaring I’m innocent, I would like to know why the governor feels any further need to speculate on that,� Taylor said Friday. In February, a threejudge panel found Taylor innocent of Thomas’ murder, for which he served almost 17 years in prison. The panel heard the case as a result of the work of the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission, the only panel of its kind in the country set up to investigate claims of innocent. Taylor was the first person found innocent through the panel’s work. Then in March, Raleigh police asked to test Taylor’s clothing. Even then, police Chief Harry

Dolan said the testing was a part of reopening the case of Thomas’ beating death and not meant to cast doubt on Taylor’s innocence. A Raleigh police spokesman said he didn’t know when the department would get the test results. Former state Supreme Court Chief Justice I. Beverly Lake, whose work led to the establishment of the innocence commission, said he thinks the law should be changed so an innocent person doesn’t have to jump through the hoops of seeking a pardon. The delay by the governor is “outrageous,� Lake said. “People just can’t get used to this new procedure, apparently — some people can’t. I just can’t see any reason for it (the delay).�

Dispute over election results in scuffle

Feds investigate deaths of 2 red wolves

LEXINGTON (AP) — North Carolina’s primary elections are over, but passions in one race are still running high enough to cause a scuffle. The Dispatch of Lexington reports there was an altercation Friday between members of a public advocacy group and supporters of failed Republican sheriff candidate Gerald Hege. The groups were at a meeting of the Davidson County Board of Elections, which dismissed challenges to Hege’s candidacy. The board ruled that since Hege lost, the complaints are moot. Hege resigned as sheriff in 2004 after pleading guilty to two felony counts. Melisia Prout, leader of the group Salvation’s Way, says members of her organization were pushed around by Hege supporters after the meeting.

ENGELHARD (AP) — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating the deaths of two red wolves found in different parts of a North Carolina county. The wildlife service says one wolf was found April 23 near Engelhard in eastern Hyde County, and the second one was found four days later near Scranton, in the west. Both wolves were wearing radio collars. The wildlife service didn’t say how the wolves died. The special agent investigating the case said she couldn’t comment beyond what was in the news release. The service is offering a reward of up to $2,500 to anyone who provides information leading to an arrest or other penalties. More than 100 red wolves live in five North Carolina counties. The wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act.

CHARLOTTE

Diocese settles abuse lawsuit for $1 million

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte has agreed to pay $1 million to a man who had sued, saying a priest sexually abused him when he was an altar boy in 1999. The Charlotte Observer reported that the diocese also agreed to pay for counseling for the man, who is now 25. The man, who was an altar boy at Charlotte’s St. Matthew Catholic Church when he was molested, had filed a civil lawsuit alleging that church officials covered

up the sex crimes of the Rev. Robert Yurgel. Yurgel was sentenced last year to nearly eight years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree sex offense. Officials with the diocese have said they didn’t learn of any sexual misconduct allegations until Yurgel’s arrest in 2008. Seth Langson, an attorney for the plaintiff, said his client “was unable to even speak of the abuse to his parents for many years. At the end of 2007, he courageously came

forward and began telling others what happened to him. He wanted then to make sure that Father Yurgel never hurt another child.� The diocese said its insurance company will pay the settlement, adding that an additional $47,500 will pay for counseling and medicine for the victim. The Charlotte bishop, the Rev. Peter Jurgis, said his “prayers continue to go out to the plaintiff in this case and to all victims of sexual abuse in the

hope that they may find the healing they seek.� The attorneys for the young man said they believe the $1 million payment is one of the largest settlements paid in North Carolina by a religious organization for the sexual abuse of a child. During Yurgel’s sentencing last year, the prosecutor told the judge that the victim was 14 when Yurgel began molesting him. The victim was 15, the prosecutor said, when Yurgel molested him in a church rectory.

CONCORD (AP) — Three Republican candidates who lost in North Carolina’s primary election are endorsing one of their former rivals in a runoff. Hal Jordan, Lou Huddleston, and Darrell Day said in statements released on Friday that they are supporting U.S. House candidate Harold Johnson. The campaign for the 8th District nomination has resulted in a runoff between Johnson and Tim D’Annunzio. The eventual winner of the June 22 primary will face Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell in November. The district covers southern North Carolina from Charlotte to Fayetteville.

Marines say man posed as officer in ceremony WILMINGTON (AP) — Marine investigators have seized a dress uniform and more than a dozen medals after they say a North Carolina man used them to pose as a colonel during a Vietnam Recognition Day ceremony. Marine officials said this week that 67-year-old Michael Hamilton of Richlands appeared in uniform at Jacksonville’s Vietnam Memorial in April. Hamilton pleaded guilty last year to altering an identification card after he was seen wearing the uniform of a three-star general.

TENNESSEE FLOODING

Volunteers help clean while residents still drying out By TERESA M. WALKER

NATIONAL HEADLINES

Associated Press Writer

n The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is already taking its toll on the “Redneck Riviera�

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Dumpsters dot the Cottonwood subdivision with ductwork, insulation, mattresses and kitchen sinks piled in front of houses. The sound of hammers ripping up sodden floors and fans set at high hum through the air. Yet the fetid smell filling the neighborhood hits the hardest. Nashville, where the Grand Ole Opry flooded along with parts of the downtown, has been the focus since weekend storms killed at least 31 people in three states, 20 of them in Tennessee. But the record-shattering torrential rains that pushed the Cumberland River out of its banks to flood the tourist spots also pushed the rivers and creeks throughout Middle and West Tennessee to levels not seen in decades, if ever. Adam Johnston has bags of lime stacked up to use to dull the smell once he cleans out the 4 inches of sewage and sludge under his house, where volunteers wore masks as they worked to clean up the devastation left when the Harpeth River rushed out of its banks and through this neighborhood. “Whatever gets rid of the smell,� Johnston said. Transportation has

Friends and family remove the flood ravaged belongings from Robert J. Woods’ home Thursday in north Nashville, Tenn. Woods, 74, was swept away by flood waters from White’s Creek as it raced through the neighborhood during last weekends storms and did not survive. also taken a hit. The main railroad line between Nashville and Memphis is out for at least four weeks because two bridges washed away. Gary Sease, a CSX Transportation spokesman, said officials should be able to reroute most shipments until repairs are made. Of Tennessee’s 95 counties, 52 have been declared disaster areas, and getting help to people outside of Nashville, where Mayor Karl Dean estimates there is at least $1.5 billion in damage, has proven to be a much bigger challenge. “The stream flow was

above the level of what some people call ‘the 500-year flood,’� Rodney Knight, a surface water specialist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said of the Harpeth River. Gov. Phil Bredesen has heard from frustrated county officials wanting to know why help hasn’t arrived in some of Tennessee’s more rural areas. “The level of ability of counties to respond to these things is very, very different. We’re sitting here in Nashville in an operations center, which would be suitable for any city in the United States ... In a

smaller county, you just don’t have the staff and the people there,� the governor said. That is why Tennesseans, such as those in Franklin, are helping themselves. So many volunteers have turned out that they don’t feel ignored. “The amount of support and love and help, people coming around saying they’ll do the dirtiest job you can imagine, ‘Yeah, I’ll go under the house and lay in sewage, sludge and pull out your insulation,’� said Maggie Coyle, 57, whose new Honda Fit was destroyed.

“It’s pretty overwhelming.� Kristin Griffith saw 10 people she didn’t know ripping waterlogged boards off her floor at one point. Her husband, Scott, said they know other areas were hit much harder. Even with most of their kitchen now sitting at the edge of the front yard, the couple worried about people in Nashville. “We’ve seen some of the aerial coverage on the news. Yeah, we got hit pretty hard here, but I feel a lot of Bellevue got hurt worse than we did,� said Scott Griffith, a 40-yearold who works in information technology. Johnston’s two daughters, 5 and 3, are staying with his in-laws. His forearms and legs are nearly raw from climbing through the sludge, and he said his tetanus shot was a must. Still, he has an optimistic look at fixing a home he moved his family into only nine months ago. “We’re looking at it as

just a forced renovation,� Johnston said. Soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, about an hour northwest of Nashville on the Kentucky border, were given Friday off to clean up their own homes and help others, with encouragement to those who had no damage to volunteer in recovery efforts. Flash floods were blamed in the deaths of at least 19 people in Tennessee alone, including nine in Nashville. An additional 11 deaths from the weekend storms were reported in Kentucky and Mississippi, and one person was killed over the weekend by a tornado in Tennessee. On Friday, authorities found one person who had been feared killed by the storms, a kayaker missing since Monday in Kentucky. The water also has devastated spring planting in about two-thirds of Tennessee.

Schlockey films gain cult status via Net By CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Writer

SAN FRANCISCO — It’s late Friday night outside the arthouse Roxie Theater, and a line is forming down the block. Twentysomethings — mostly men — stand around joking and waiting to file in. The smell of pot permeates the cold, damp air. Underneath the theater’s marquee, a fasttalking Vietnamese man in a suit and tie dashes around with a camera crew in tow, hastily laying a makeshift red carpet on the sidewalk and directing people to stand, pose, smile. He is James Nguyen, a writer and director, and his movie, “Birdemic: Shock and Terror,� is about to make its San Francisco premiere. A former Silicon Valley software salesman with no film-school education, Nguyen made this homage to his idol, Alfred Hitchcock, for about $10,000. He set and shot his killer-bird saga in nearby Half Moon Bay and Santa Clara, and after showing it to sold-out crowds across the country, this is his homecoming. Lots of people make bad horror movies. Yet “Birdemic� has become

In this film publicity image released by Severin Films, wild birds attack in a scene from, “Birdemic: Shock and Terror.� an instant cult classic, one of several such movies that have gained popularity online and through social networking sites. It’s got the kind of beloved status that used to take years or even decades to achieve through video rentals and late-night cable. The schlockery of “Birdemic� is evident from its trailer, which has hundreds of thousands of YouTube views: uncomfortable dialogue, stiff acting, shoddy lighting, jumpy edits. And then there are the eagles and vultures that terrorize a quiet town before bursting into flames. To describe them as cheesy would be charitable. Characters swat at them with wire hangers, which have become the film’s trademark. First in line in San Francisco, Korrena Bailey

said she heard about it from a friend back home in Ireland who’s a B-movie aficionado. “The birds explode! There’s no better reason (to see it),� she said, smiling. “The special effects are obviously top-notch.� Still, Nguyen insists fans are drawn to its sincerity, and not just coming to cackle. His film has screened for executives on the Paramount Pictures lot, and he’s working on a sequel, “Birdemic: The Resurrection.� “It’s a good story, there’s some humor to it, and people like that,� he said. “Despite all of its imperfections — from the visual effects, the animation, you name it — the audience will acknowledge that and see through that.� Laughing at the earnestness and ineptitude of such movies is only

part of the allure; doing it in a theater packed with people is the bigger draw, said Michael Paul Stephenson, star of the 1990 cult favorite “Troll 2.� “These films celebrate the communal experience of watching a film together. That’s something that’s passing away,� Stephenson said. When Evan Husney of Severin Films saw “Birdemic� at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009 — where it had been rejected, but Nguyen brought it anyway — he had no idea what to make of the movie. “A lot of things were just astonishingly wrong with the film in terms of the audio. I think the cut of the movie we saw was even worse,� Husney said. “The first 20 minutes of this thing, I wasn’t convinced it was real until it started to sink in: There is no way that a film like this could be faked.� Still, Severin picked it up, and sites like Twitter — with help from celebrity fans — have propelled it. “Rainn Wilson has 1.9 million followers,� Husney said. “That’s an instantaneous blast email to 1.9 million people who are into this guy and are going to want to see what he recommends.�

Springsteen, Pinsky team up at NJ festival MADISON, N.J. (AP) — Robert Pinsky and Bruce Springsteen apparently have more in common than just a way with words — they can trace the beginnings of their glory days all Springsteen the way back to the same hospital at the New Jersey shore. The former U.S. Pinsky poet laureate and the unofficial poet laureate of rock ’n’ roll appeared on stage Thursday at Fairleigh Dickinson University, where they discussed their work, influences and careers and joked about the fact both were born at Monmouth Memorial Hospital, albeit nine years apart (Pinsky is older). The occasion was the university’s WAMFEST Words and Music Festival, an event sponsored by its creative writing department. Recording artist John Wesley Harding, nee Wesley Stace, an artist in residence at the school, moderated the two-hour performance and discussion in front of a packed auditorium of 400 students, faculty and whoever else could wangle a way in the door.

had met for the first time on Thursday, Harding said, but their affinity for each other’s work was obvious. “What I’ve been trying to write about for 40 years, Robert gets into a single poem,� Springsteen said. Both spoke fondly of their home state, though in different ways. Pinsky, who grew up in “not the greatest part of Long Branch� and now lives in western Massachusetts, realized after he moved to California that he missed the Garden State’s speech patterns and sarcasm; Springsteen dreamed of getting out of New Jersey as a youth but later came to find meaning in “a certain plot of ground, a certain place� after his work became more introspective. Springsteen recalled being influenced by, of all people, Frank Sinatra for the way his songs resonated with everyday people. “He sang colloquially, the way people speak,� he said. “The minute the needle goes down on the record, a world is summoned up. I wanted to catalog my times in that way.�

B.o.B’s brings more than just rap with debut

ATLANTA (AP) — A year ago, B.o.B was frustrated over his music career. He was anxious because his album hadn’t materialized yet, and also worried that he wouldn’t be able to Simmons combine all of his talents — rapping, singing, and playing multiple instruments — into one niche. But a hit changes things. And after his first single soared up the charts — the song “Nothin’ On You,� featuring Bruno Mars — it impressed his record label enough that his debut album was released a month ahead of time, an unusual occurrence in the music industry. “I went through my transition phase for a reason to get to this point. So if you think about it, everything is falling into place. Perfect timing, actually,� said B.o.B, who was born Bobby Ray Simmons. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. His debut album, “B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray, claimed the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s album chart this week, a week after “Nothin’ On You� hit the No. 1 spot on the pop charts. “I felt like someone put in the cheat code to get the high score,� he said of his single nabbing the top spot. “It was like, ’Wow, how did this happen so fast?�’

WORLD BRIEFS Europe tries to douse debt crisis

to preserve financial stability in Europe.�

BRUSSELS (AP) — European leaders have agreed on a series of strong steps to stamp out the spiralling debt crisis, including consolidating public finances, bringing in the European Central Bank to ensure eurozone stability and possibly set up a European mechanism to preserve financial stability and prevent future crises like the one that has engulfed Greece. The draft document still must receive final approval at an emergency summit that ran into early Saturday and came amid signs the contagion was spreading across Europe and beyond. However, there is little political will for more direct money for other indebted countries. “Consolidation of public finances is a priority for all of us, and we will take all measures needed to meet our fiscal targets this year and the years ahead in line with excessive deficit procedures,� the draft said, adding that all member states “fully support the ECB in its actions to ensure the stability of the euro area.� The draft also said that the EU would “propose a European stabilization mechanism

Big parties woo kingmaker in Britain’s election LONDON (AP) — Britain’s inconclusive election turned into high political drama Friday, with the Conservatives and Labour Party wooing a potential ally as the markets pressed for results and a public accustomed to clearer outcomes watched transfixed. Conservative leader David Cameron, ahead but shy of a majority, seized the initiative with a “comprehensive offer� to the ideologically dissimilar but possibly willing Liberal Democrats. Labour incumbent Gordon Brown, beaten but still battling, dangled before the Liberal Democrats their dream of major electoral reform. A weekend of frantic negotiations loomed — but momentum seemed to be with the youthful Cameron. Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg did not immediately respond in public to his opponents’ overtures, but said earlier that the party that had gained the most seats and the most votes — the Conservatives — should have the first right to try to govern.

Burst of hiring aids recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — The economy got what it needed in April: A burst of hiring that added a net 290,000 jobs, the biggest monthly total in four years. It showed employers are gaining confidence as the recovery takes deeper root. But people who had given up on finding jobs are gaining confidence, too, and are now looking for work. That’s why the unemployment rate rose from 9.7 percent to 9.9 percent and will likely go higher. The new jobs, generated by sectors across the economy, are the first sign that the recovery is adding significant num-

bers of new jobs — even if not enough to absorb the influx of jobseekers. “Companies feel more comfortable that growth in the economy and in their own sales is here to stay and that they can start preparing for the future and add to their payrolls,� said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. The unemployment rate rose because 805,000 people without jobs entered the labor force in April to search for work. “Individuals are gaining confidence in their ability to find a job and are now throwing their hats into the ring,� said

But she started looking for work again in March. “I was starting to get to the point where I felt like I needed to get a job,� she said. “I was living off unemployment and just feeling guilty.� Not for long. She soon was hired as a restaurant manager in suburban St. Louis. Demand has picked up enough that she’s looking to switch jobs again and is interviewing at hotels.

“It’s a competitive field, but there are plenty of jobs,� she said. Many economists predict the unemployment rate will rise as people who had given up on finding a job feel better about their prospects. The labor force includes employed people and people actively seeking work — not those who have stopped looking. The unemployment rate in October hit 10.1 percent, a 26-year high. Some economists now think the rate could go a bit higher and peak at 10.2 percent by June. Still, that’s far lower than some forecasts earlier this year of 11 percent.

CHILDRESS: NEW DEAL WITH HARVICK IS CLOSE DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Owner Richard Childress says he’s close to an agreement that will keep Kevin Harvick with RCR beyond this season. Childress said he hoped to have negotiations with the Sprint Cup points leader wrapped up before the series heads to Charlotte, N.C., later this month for the Coca-Cola 600. “We’ve been talking and hopefully we’ll have something,” Childress said Friday after qualifying for the Southern 500. Locking up Harvick looked like a longshot last season as Childress’ Chevrolet teams struggled to keep up with those of powerful Hendrick Motorsports. However, Childress said the improved performance of his teams — RCR drivers Harvick, Jeff Burton and Clint Boywer are all inside the top 12 this year — has smoothed over issues Harvick may have had. “It’s good for RCR, Kevin and all of us if we can put this thing back together,” Childress said.

SOCCER POLICE HOPING TO AVOID OBAMA CUP APPEARANCE

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — South Africa’s police commissioner said Friday his job will be made easier if the United States is knocked out of the World Cup in the first round, avoiding the massive security challenge of a visit by President Barack Obama. General Bheki Cele told a parliamentary police committee meeting in Cape Town it was “50-50” whether Obama would visit Africa’s first World Cup, but they had been told that if the Americans make the knockout stage of the tournament then Obama might jet in. “One challenge is the American president, who is coming, not coming, coming, not coming,” Cele said. “It’s 50-50 as we stand. “Our famous prayer is that the Americans don’t make the second round. (That) they get eliminated and they go home.”

NASCAR MCMURRAY SETS QUALIFYING RECORD

DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Jamie McMurray set a track record at Darlington Raceway to lead qualifying for the Southern 500 on Friday. McMurray made it around the 1.366-mile egg-shaped superspeedway at 180.370 mph to surpass Matt Kenseth’s record run from a year ago. Jeff Gordon was second fastest and Brian Vickers was third for Saturday night’s Sprint Cup event.

to count on anyone else to do it. The Yellow Jackets trailed 1-0 after 4 1/2 innings of play. In the bottom of the fifth, Furl’s two-RBI triple put Lee County ahead 2-1. Furl scored Zach Bradford and Julio Parades. Following Furl’s big hit, Wilson drove him home with a sacrifice fly to

NBA PLAYOFFS: CLEVELAND AT BOSTON

By BARRY WILNER AP Football Writer

NEW YORK — Thanks to Lawrence Taylor, such phrases as the blind side and strip-sacks became part of football’s vernacular. Offensive coordinators built game plans around slowing him down. Rarely did those tactics work. He was one of the greatest players in NFL history — arguably the best defender the sport has seen — and became Taylor a first-ballot member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999. The only point of contention at the time: his off-field behavior. While Taylor’s arrest Thursday for third-degree rape and patronizing a prostitute stands as the most shocking of his run-ins with the law, it is only the latest. The list of charges he’s faced, from drug cases to tax evasion, dates back more than two decades to his playing career and includes several recent entries. Taylor has been cited three times in Florida over the last six months alone for infractions on the road. Online records show he was accused of going 95 mph in a 70 mph

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (23) drives past Boston Celtics center Kendrick Perkins (43) to score during the first quarter of Game 3 in the second round of an NBA basketball series in Boston, Friday.

LeBron, Cavaliers romp past Celtics, lead series 2-1 By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — LeBron James scored 21 of his 38 points in the first quarter to help the Cleveland Cavaliers beat Boston 124-95 on Friday night, handing the Celtics their worst home playoff loss ever and taking a 2-1 lead in

the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals. Showing no ill-effects of an elbow problem that was the talk of Cleveland during the long layoff, James finished with eight rebounds and seven assists. The 21 points in a quarter was a franchise postseason record. Antawn Jamison had 20

points and 12 rebounds for Cleveland. Rajon Rondo, who had 19 assists in Boston’s Game 2 victory on Monday, had 18 points and eight assists. The Celtics missed 10 of their first 13 shots, hitting just 27 percent in the first quarter to spot Cleveland a 21-point lead.

Crew members examine Dale Earnhardt, Jr.’s car after a crash during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup series Showtime Southern 500 auto race at the Darlington Raceway in Darlington, S.C., Thursday.

Junior wrecks primary car DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. has disliked Darlington Raceway since his 2000 rookie season debut. A good car quickly went bad, Earnhardt crashed, then worried he’d never make a career as a driver if he couldn’t handle NASCAR’s oldest superspeedway. “He’s like all but ready to quit, it’s that bad, it’s like ‘There’s no way I can race here a million times,’ “ crew chief Lance McGrew said Earnhardt told him Friday about that 40th-place debut. When the problem was eventually traced to the car, not the driver, Earnhardt’s spirits lifted. “He was all excited. Here is ready to quit, go get a desk job at a dealership,� McGrew said. Problem is, Earnhardt’s comfort level at the 1.366mile egg-shaped super-

speedway has never been very good and it didn’t change after a rocky pair of practice sessions Friday. NASCAR’s most popular driver wrecked his primary car on the second lap of practice, moved into his backup, then scraped the wall with that Chevrolet. “I’ll probably hit it a bunch more before the weekend is over with,� he grinned. “I don’t know man, this place is probably the catalyst for my retirement one day. I’ll probably come

here when I’m 45 and run a race and say, ’The hell with it.�’ In reality, Darlington isn’t that bad of a track for Earnhardt. He’s got seven top-10 finishes in 15 career starts, and a 15.1 average finish. From 2004 through 2008, his lowest finish was 11th. “He’s got a lot of good finishes here,� McGrew said. “If you really look at it, almost every finish he has is

in the top 13. It’s just a place he’s never been comfortable. Some people deal with it, some people don’t.� Earnhardt has to deal with it this weekend, his first race since an awful 32nd-place finish at Richmond last Saturday. It dropped him to 13th in the standings and temporarily out of contention for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Woods keeps grinding

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The perception of Tiger Woods on the golf course has changed so much in a week, evident by the first question he faced Friday after scratching out a 1-under 71 at The Players Championship. “It looks like you did make the cut, so you’re playing on the weekend. Feel good?� Woods once went seven years without missing the cut. Last week at Quail Hollow was only the sixth missed cut of his career. Yet there were so many questions whether his personal turmoil was a distraction in his golf game that even Woods playing on the weekend at the TPC Sawgrass was not such a sure thing until he settled into fairways and greens and pars over the final hour. He wound up at 3under 141, and was safe. He wasn’t celebrating, not when he was nine shots behind Lee Westwood, the 36-hole leader among early starters. “I wasn’t quite as sharp today I was yesterday,� Woods said. It was an ordinary score given the easiest conditions on the Stadium Course in 16 years. What made it extraordinary were some of the shots that he did, memorable for other reasons.

SPORTS BRIEFS Arenas out of halfway house for gun count

Tiger Woods blasts out of a sand trap on the 9th hole during the second round of The Players Championship golf tournament Friday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

Westwood takes lead at Players Championship PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Lee Westwood tries to peak for the biggest tournaments. And while he doesn’t put The Players Championship in his top five, it’s big enough that he is playing some of his best golf going into the weekend. Westwood ran off three straight birdies to start his back nine Friday on his way to a 7-under 65 to build a one-shot lead over Heath Slocum, Francesco Molinari of Italy and Ryuji Imada. “As you get older, it gets harder to peak all the time when you want to,� said Westwood, a 37-year-old Englishman. “You have to pick and choose your ones,

and you want to play well in the biggest tournaments. And this is one of the biggest tournaments.� There’s a chance it might finally start playing like one. Westwood was at 12under 132, the lowest score to lead after 36 holes at The Players Championship since 1994, when Greg Norman was at 14 under on his way to setting the 72-hole record. But as the wind picked up and the temperatures rose late in the afternoon, there were signs that the TPC Sawgrass was starting to get firm after two days of relatively soft conditions. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson will be around for the weekend, which is

about all that could be said for golf’s two biggest stars. Woods overcame one tee shot that flew off to the right at a 45-degree angle and gave him double bogey for a 1-under 71. Mickelson flirted with the cut line late in the day until making a tough chip look easy for birdie on the 16th. He shot a 71. They were at 3-under 141, nine shots behind. That might be too far back on a course where there already have been 73 rounds in the 60s, the most after two days on the Stadium Course since 1993. But with more heat and more wind, the final two days could be as unpredictable as ever.

GREAT FALLS, Va. (AP) — Gilbert Arenas has arrived home from the halfway house where he lived for nearly a month as part of his sentence for bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room. Arenas left the work-release facility in the Maryland suburbs of Washington and arrived at his house in Great Falls, Va., on Friday morning. His sentence also includes two years of probation, a $5,000 fine and 400 hours of community service that can’t be performed at basketball clinics. Arenas pleaded guilty to felony gun possession in January and was sentenced to 30 days in a halfway house in March.

Owner, NFL, union donate $400,000 to flood victims NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The owner of the Tennessee Titans has joined with the NFL and the NFL Players Association in giving $400,000 to the American Red Cross and a Tennessee group to help the state recover from floods that killed at least 31 people in three states. The Titans announced the donations Friday. Owner Bud Adams decided to donate $200,000 from his Titans Foundation and encouraged the league and the players union to match his gift. He

thanked NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith for matching the donation.

Cubs call up top prospect Castro

CINCINNATI (AP) — The struggling Chicago Cubs called up their top minor league prospect, 20year-old shortstop Starlin Castro, for the start of a weekend series against the Cincinnati Reds. Castro makes the jump from Double-A Tennessee. He’ll be the youngest Cub to make his big-league debut since Oscar Gamble did it at the age of 19 in 1969. He’ll also be the youngest shortstop to make his debut with the Cubs. Castro batted .376 with eight doubles, five triples and one homer in 26 games with Tennessee. Chicago optioned infielder Chad Tracy to Triple-A Iowa to make room on the roster.

Indians activate Wood from DL CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians have activated closer Kerry Wood from the disabled list. Wood has not pitched this season. The 32-year-old has been sidelined since straining a muscle in his upper back during spring training, sending him to the DL for the 13th time in his career. Wood made two rehab appearances in Double-A.

center. “Alex had that big hit in the fifth and it really gave us what we were looking for,” said Spivey. “But Carson’s sac fly that drove Alex home was even bigger because instead of playing for just one run, Fuquay had to play for two. Alex and Carson hitting back-to-back like that has been huge for us all season long. They’ve both gotten big hits for us at crucial stages of the ballgame and they did it again.” The win extends Lee County’s winning streak to four straight. The Yellow Jackets, since losing five straight, have defeated county rival Southern Lee and conference foes Cary, Panther Creek and now Fuquay-Varina. Spivey says that practicing hard and not quitting has been the team’s strong suit all season long. “This is one of the

best practice teams I’ve ever coached,” said Spivey. “They never got down on themselves and never lost focus. We lost five in a row at one point but we kept on battling and then it turned into a four-game winning streak. Anything can happen in this game and with us staying focused in practice, I think it’s helped.” The Yellow Jackets were led on the mound by Frye, who threw a complete game and allowed just five hits while striking out six. “Dillon on the mound was huge for us,” said Spivey. “He’s been huge for us all season long. He keeps us in every game and he did a good job out there for us. He’s a big part of why we are where we are.” Furl led the Yellow Jackets at the plate with a 2-for-2 performance with a run and two RBI. He was also hit by a pitch in the first inning. Parades was also 2-for-2 with a double and a run. Tyler Castleberry was

1-for-2 with a single and was hit by a pitch in the sixth. Prior to the game, eight Yellow Jacket seniors were honored with their families and friends as they celebrated the final home game of their careers. Spivey says that this win is more for his team than it is about himself. “I’ve been here 30-something years, I know what it’s like being in the playoffs,” said Spivey. “I’m very proud of them, though. They deserve this for not giving up. I’m very happy for them, especially our senior class. Our seniors have been very patient all season and it feels good to get them in the postseason. We’re real excited about this.” The Yellow Jackets will know for sure who they will be playing once playoff seedings and brackets are released on Saturday. Right now, it’s looking like Lee County will travel to the top seed in the Cap-7 Conference, which is Millbrook.

zone in Miami-Dade County on Feb. 25, a case that’s scheduled for trial in Miami on May 14. He also was charged Feb. 3 with unknowingly driving with a suspended license, and in November for leaving the scene of an accident and careless driving. In February 2009, he was cited for possessing an open container of an alcoholic beverage by the Florida Highway Patrol. That case was dismissed. Back when he was storming around the outside of the offensive line and terrorizing quarterbacks, Taylor’s lifestyle already was an issue. In 1988, he tested positive for cocaine and was suspended for 30 days by the NFL. Even before then, there were whispers throughout the league that Taylor had a drug problem, and that Giants coach Bill Parcells weeded out any such players — except for LT — after the 1983 season.

Taylor did not shy away from discussing his wild times. Two autobiographies were published and he told CBS’ “60 Minutes” in a 2004 interview that he often called six prostitutes a day, would spend $1,000 on escort services, and once showed up at a Giants team meeting with handcuffs he brought from a night spent with several women. Less than a year after the cocaine test, Taylor was arrested for DUI when he was found sleeping behind the wheel of his car, which was on the shoulder of a parkway. He was acquitted based greatly on testimony from two doctors who said he suffered from food poisoning. Taylor also was charged with criminal property damage in 1991 for allegedly damaging a taxi in Honolulu. Five years later, he was cited for leaving the scene of an accident, which came just two weeks after being arrested for buying crack cocaine from an undercover officer in South Carolina. Two years after that, Taylor was charged with the same

crime in Florida. Twice in 1995, he entered drug rehab. He has been arrested for failure to pay child support and for tax evasion, and also has filed for bankruptcy. “Drugs have kept me from being the Christian I want to be,” Taylor once said. “It’s something you’ve got to fight. It’s been a lifetime battle and you’ve got to give yourself a life to do it.” LT often has said he’s used the golf course as his sanctuary, a place where he can escape his problems and find solutions. He often played golf on a course a few miles from the hotel where the alleged rape occurred in the latest case. Taylor’s troubles occasionally are mentioned in the same breath with O.J. Simpson, whose presence in the Hall of Fame is considered an embarrassment by some. Should Taylor be proven guilty on the rape charge, he almost certainly will be lumped together with Simpson in any movement to throw them out of the Canton shrine.

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Love child grows up feeling sting of her mother’s regret

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: This can be a fantastic year if you strive for perfection in everything you pursue. Money will come to you and the opportunity to meet and work with people you admire will lead to your success. Build a solid base and you will enjoy many years of growth and rewards. Your numbers are 2, 12, 17, 22, 25, 38, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s difficult for you to see what’s right in front of you today. Emotion will cloud your vision, causing you to misunderstand what others want. Do things that stimulate you mentally and physically. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As long as you do as you say, you will not face complaints. Once you have your chores out of the way, you can spend the day with the people you enjoy most. Love relationships may be emotional if you aren’t attentive. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be saddled with someone else’s responsibilities if you are too nice and easygoing. A problem with a relationship will develop if you are too flirtatious or give the impression you aren’t as interested as you let on previously. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Surprise someone you love with a treat or an evening out on the town. Your plans will ensure that you keep the person you hold dearest, happy and content. A financial gain is apparent if you are quick to respond to an opportunity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Think before you offer to pick up the bill for someone else. Entertainment may be on your mind but it doesn’t have to be expensive. Be imaginative and you will come up with a plan that will please the people you want to entertain and make yourself look good at the same time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

WORD JUMBLE

22): Get everything that’s bothering you out in the open. A relationship with someone from your past may still be an issue that needs closure. Do something that will help you feel good about the way you look. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Go over personal papers and your financial strategy for the future and you will feel much better. A relationship with someone who offers intellectual challenges will help you come up with a workable agreement, leading to extra cash. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Set your own standards and stick to them, no matter what others do or say. Don’t let love cost you emotionally or financially. If someone you are with doesn’t meet you halfway, take a pass. Creative people will contribute to your ideas. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you slip up, you will have a situation on your hands that will be hard to reverse. Emotional problems with someone will leave you at a loss. Uncertainty or inconsistency have probably brought about the change of heart and decision to make a move. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Get together with old friends and you will enjoy reminiscing about the old days. Making changes to your budget or an investment will lead to financial and personal gains. Visit someone who can offer insight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your busy schedule will be difficult to juggle. Try not to let your professional goals interfere with your personal promises. Be honest but firm about what you can and cannot do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be ready to take on the world. There is no challenge you can’t handle. Being direct about what you want and how you see things developing will be all it takes to excel.

DEAR ABBY: My mother became pregnant with me in 1965 when she was 20 and divorced from her husband. My father was a married man who knew about me, but made no effort to see me. I know my mother believed he would leave his wife for her, and because I closely resemble him — according to family members — she must have felt terrible when I was growing up. I always felt she didn’t love me as much as she loved my brothers. I have grown up with a hole inside me where a dad was supposed to be. I have never felt worthy or deserving of anything in my life, and now my mother has cut me off from the family. Should I try to see if my father wants to know me now? Maybe time has mellowed him. I feel like he is a great big unfinished spot in my life. What should I do? — ALONE AND UNLOVED, MONROE, LA. DEAR ALONE AND UNLOVED: Life has dealt you a difficult hand through no fault of your own. You are hurting right now, and that is why I’m urging you to talk to a counselor about what you have been through and how you feel about yourself BEFORE reaching out to your father. You deserve love and nurturing, but before you try to make contact it’s important that you have more inner resources than you

have now -- just in case he doesn’t turn out to be the man you would like him to be. Contacting him through a third party might also be wise. o DEAR ABBY: Before my husband died, we used to enjoy visiting with “Frank” and his wife, “Julie.” They were happy get-togethers between couples. After my husband’s death, Frank said he wanted to stay in touch. As time went on, we’d meet for holidays and home visits, which were as pleasant as before. But as time passed, Julie became bored and the visits became awkward. Frank and I had a lot in common. I enjoyed his company more and more. Anyone who has lost the love of his/her life knows it’s a gift to take a break from the heartache

once in a while. Frank and I have done nothing wrong. If he were a woman there would be no question of impropriety. I haven’t heard from Frank in a while, and I suspect it’s because Julie has requested he not spend so much time with me. I don’t blame her. I’d feel the same if it were my husband. But would it be OK for me to call him? Until recently we talked regularly. I know he’d be happy to hear my voice. Our visits were full of life and innocent conversation, and I miss them. Should I leave well enough alone, or enjoy the only peace I have had after such a great loss? — ANONYMOUS IN COLORADO DEAR ANONYMOUS: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband. My advice is to leave well enough alone and look for “peace” with someone who is available and will be able to provide more than good conversation. While your intentions may be innocent, your growing friendship with Frank may have begun to make his wife uncomfortable. It appears she picked up on the fact that you have grown emotionally dependent on her husband and viewed it as a threat. Alternatively, when you were all together she may have felt like a third wheel, and that’s why she became bored. So please take what I have said to heart and back off.

Lord Jesus Christ (his real name) hit by Mass. car

South Korean driver earns license on 960th try

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — The victim might have forgiven the woman who ran him down in a Massachusetts crosswalk, but police haven’t. Police say a Pittsfield woman has been cited for running down a man named Lord Jesus Christ as he crossed a street in Northampton on Tuesday. The 50-year-old man is from Belchertown. Officers checked his ID and discovered that, indeed, his legal name is Lord Jesus Christ. He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor facial injuries. Police say 20-year-old Brittany Cantarella was cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean woman who earned a driver’s license after 960 tries is ready to buy a car and get behind the wheel. Yonhap news agency reported Thursday that 69-yearold Cha Sa-soon passed the driving part of the test last month on her 10th try. South Korea requires a written test first, and Cha took it nearly daily since April 2005 before passing last year. Yonhap quoted her as saying she wanted to buy a small secondhand car to visit her son and daughter and for her business selling vegetables. Repeated calls seeking comment from her went unanswered.

Police: Woman attempts robbery, tries to eat note

Runaway emu captured in SC after 10 block chase

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in Ohio said a woman tried to rob a bank with a note and then attempted to eat it once she saw a uniformed officer in line behind her. FBI Special Agent Harry Trombitas said the woman wearing sunglasses handed the teller the note at a Columbus Chase bank branch Wednesday morning. Trombitas said in a statement that the off-duty officer wasn’t aware of what was going on, but when the woman noticed him, she grabbed the note and fled. Outside, the officer arrested the 40year-old Columbus woman, Lois Harvey. Trombitas said she tried to swallow the note as she was nabbed, then coughed it up onto the sidewalk. Harvey remained jailed Thursday after a judge set bond at $250,085. Court records do not list her attorney.

ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — Why did the emu cross the street? To get away from the South Carolina police officers, animal control officers and people chasing it in Rock Hill. The Herald of Rock Hill reported the 6-foot bird ran 10 blocks through the city Tuesday, chased by as many as 50 people. Seventy-year-old Bobby Mangrum managed to capture the bird with a fishing net and managed to tie the animal’s sharp feet. Mangrum owns two emus along with llamas and goats and took the big bird home with him while police try to figure out where the bird came from. Police Lt. Joe Johnson said he wasn’t sure how he would phrase his report, saying the animal didn’t appear to break any laws, except perhaps running from police.

Reach out to mend relationships Q: I’ve had a rocky relationship with my mother most of my life, and in fact we’ve hardly spoken in the last year. But recently, the mother of a close friend of mine died, and it’s started me thinking if I ought to try to change this. But how do I go about it? Or is it even possible? -- Mrs. B.F. A: Tomorrow, people throughout our nation will be celebrating Mother’s Day -- and I can’t think of a better time for you to try to mend your relationship with your mother. Let the Bible’s words guide you: “Try to live in peace with all people, and try to live free from sin” (Hebrews 12:14, NCV). It may not happen all at once; broken relationships (like broken bones) usually take time to heal. But now is the time to take that first step. Even if it eventually turns out to be impossible, you need to make the effort, because -- as you’ve seen from your friend’s experience -- some day your mother may not be here, and then it’ll be too late. Don’t spend the rest of your days filled with guilt and regret, constantly wondering what might have happened if you’d only tried. Reach out, therefore, to your mother, even if it’s only a card or note or phone call saying that you are thinking about her this Mother’s Day. Don’t get into the “blame game,” rehashing the past or blaming her for whatever went wrong (even if she is mostly at fault). The Bible says, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1). Most of all, commit this problem -- and your whole life -- to Jesus Christ. God can do what we can’t do, and He can bring healing and love even to the most difficult relationship.

CLEANUP EFFORTS

THE IMPACT

Spill ruining vibe on ‘redneck Riviera’ Box to contain

oil leak touches down on floor

By JAY REEVES Associated Press Writer

GULF SHORES, Ala. — Confederate-flag bikinis. An entire festival focused on a fish-tossing contest. Countless nights ended at bars on beaches of pure white sand, the strains of local boy Jimmy Buffett’s odes to drinking and sailing mixing with the surf. It’s easy to see why generations of Southerners have flocked to the stretch of northern Gulf Coast affectionately called the “redneck Riviera” — and why they’re worried about whether a massive oil spill is about to ruin their downhome playground. For more than two weeks, millions of gallons of crude have been spewing from the ocean floor south of Louisiana, ever since an oil rig explosion there killed 11. Oil reached more of that state’s shoreline this week, and furthering fears that it’s only a matter of time before it arrives at points east. Matt Dagen can’t help but look at the emerald green waters and spotless Alabama beach and worry that a lifestyle, not just wildlife and dollars, is in peril. “I remember the Exxon Valdez,” said Dagen, standing on the porch of The Hangout, a beach restaurant and entertainment complex he helps manage. “I just walked out here a few minutes ago and saw the gulls and tried to imagine what all this would be like with oil all over it.” The stretch of sugarwhite beaches from Gulf Shores to Panama City,

Dana Cooper, left, talks friend Holly Taylor as Luke Elliott sits on the beach in Gulf Shores, Ala., Wednesday. Fla., once was a laid-back regional draw, with families from Atlanta and Birmingham vacationing in beachfront homes on stilts with screened porches near pines and scrub brush. The rest of the world discovered the area in recent decades, and one-time fishing villages like Destin, Fla., now feature upscale condominium towers and designer shops that draw tourists from all points. In Alabama’s Baldwin County, home to the state’s prime beach resorts, more than 4.5 million people visited the coast last year, according to the Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau, spending some $2.3 billion on everything from hotel rooms to Budweiser to seafood platters and temporary tattoos. In the Florida Panhandle, a new airport at Panama City with a 10,000-foot runway is expected to bring in even more tourists. Even with jets and pastel high-rises and communities of sprawling second homes, much of the old character remains

on the “redneck Riviera,” a lighthearted tag that many locals revere even if tourism promoters cringe when they hear it. Visitors can still get a room in a nice beachfront hotel for $90 this time of year. The Flora-Bama Lounge on the state line drew thousands on the last weekend in April with its 26th Interstate Mullet Toss at Perdido Key, Fla., which is exactly what it sounds like: a competition, complete with age and gender brackets, to sling dead fish through the air, discus-style. Late at night, and sometimes earlier in the day, women take off their bras and toss them into the bar’s rafters, where hundreds hang on clotheslines. To the east in Panama City, kids love getting on small cruise boats to watch dolphins swim alongside looking for handouts, an old attraction that ticks off biologists and environmentalists. Teenagers still cruise the main beach road hooting and holler-

ing and dodging the cops, just like their parents used to do. But out on the water, orange and yellow booms bob up and down. They’re a mild comfort in that they’re meant to block any oil from reaching the beaches, bays and marshes. They’re a cause for concern for the very same reason. Dominic Specchio has what many consider the dream life in these parts — he runs a company that rents pontoon boats, kayaks and WaveRunners to tourists. He wonders what that life will be like later this summer and beyond. Business is slow right now ahead of the summer tourist seasons, so the spill hasn’t had a big effect on the bottom line. “If this doesn’t get corrected by Memorial Day we’ll be hurting,” he said. The booms will be gone some day, and the state already is planning to lure visitors back with a TV commercial that at least tacitly acknowledges the region’s, uh, flavor.

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO — A BP-chartered vessel lowered a 100-ton concrete-andsteel vault onto a ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico on Friday, an important step in a delicate and unprecedented attempt to stop most of the gushing crude fouling the sea. Underwater robots guided the 40-foot-tall box into place. Now that the contraption is on the seafloor, workers will need at least 12 hours to let it settle and make sure it’s stable before the robots can hook up a pipe and hose that will funnel the oil up to a tanker. “It appears to be going exactly as we hoped,” BP spokesman Bill Salvin told The Associated Press on Friday afternoon, shortly after the four-story device hit the seafloor. “Still lots of challenges ahead, but this is very good progress.” By Sunday, the box the size of a house could be capturing up to 85 percent of the oil. So far about 3 million gallons have leaked in an environmental crisis that has been unfolding since a deepwater drilling platform exploded April 20, sending toxic oil toward a shoreline

of marshes, shipping channels, fishing grounds and beaches. Eleven workers were killed in the accident. The lowering of the containment device was a slow-moving drama playing out 50 miles from Louisiana’s coast, requiring great precision and attention to detail. It took about two weeks to build the 40foot box, and the effort to lower it by crane and cable to the seafloor began late Thursday night. After it hit bottom Friday afternoon, the crane gradually eased off to allow it to settle. “We are essentially taking a four-story building and lowering it 5,000 feet and setting it on the head of a pin,” Salvin said. The task became increasingly urgent as toxic oil crept deeper into the bays and marshes of the Mississippi Delta. A sheen of oil began arriving on land last week, and crews have been putting out floating barriers, spraying chemical dispersants and setting fire to the slick to try to keep it from coming ashore. But now the thicker, stickier goo — arrayed in vivid, brick-colored ribbons — is drawing ever closer to Louisiana’s coastal communities.

Another day, another scare in NYC

NEW YORK (AP) — Police cleared the streets around Times Square on Friday and called in the bomb squad to dismantle what turned out to be a cooler full of water bottles. Earlier in the day, police were called in to check a suspicious package that turned out to be someone’s lunch. Since a Pakistani-American tried unsuccessfully to set off a car bomb in the heart of the city last weekend, false-alarm calls are up dramatically, nerves are jangled, and media and law enforcement are rushing to the scenes to make sure the reports aren’t something bigger. More than 600 calls came in since Saturday’s attempted car bombing of a busy street near Times Square — about 30 percent higher than normal, police said. “This is something that happens fairly regularly,� Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Friday. “I think to a certain extent, people are becoming more suspicious, more vigilant. ... We understand that’s what happens, and we’re prepared to respond.� Bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad remained in custody and did not appear in court Friday. Kelly said he continued to cooperate, while Gen. David Petraeus debunked theories that Shahzad had help, saying he apparently worked alone and did not have

On Friday, cable news channels went live with images of the false alarm on Times Square, focusing in on the light green cooler as police officials hauled it away from the area. Police don’t know who left the cooler behind. The streets opened within an hour, and workers weren’t told to evacuate. “It was exciting, but it seemed a little silly, after all — a cooler that somebody left there,� said psychiatrist Thor Bergersen, of Newton, Mass., who watched the drama from the eighth floor of the Marriott Marquis hotel. But Times Square vendor Walter “Candyman� Wells said the constant scares aroused more sus-

picion. “I think they’re testing us, whoever is doing this,� Wells said Friday, sitting on a stool near his table of T-shirts. “They’re playing chess with us right now, but they ain’t gonna win.� A day earlier, authorities pulled an Emirates airlines plane back from the runway after spotting a passenger’s name they mistakenly thought to be on the “no-fly� list. Two passengers were released within an hour. On Wednesday, the bomb squad looked at an empty truck reeking of gasoline on the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge; nothing dangerous was found inside. The city also has ramped up security on its sprawling subway system, checking bags and station-

ing more officers there. The subway remains one of the biggest security worries after a plot to bomb it was foiled last year. The jumpiness has even spread to events only tangentially connected to New York, such as a false-alarm bomb scare in Portsmouth, N.H., on a Maine-to-New York bus. Authorities responded by blocking off streets, evacuating homes and businesses, surrounding the bus with police, and calling in sharpshooters and an armored vehicle. “We have a bus that’s en route to New York City. We have an incident that occurred in New York City not too long ago. I think it was an appropriate, measured response,� Portsmouth Police Chief David Ferland said. Shahzad, who was pulled off a Dubai-bound plane at Kennedy Airport on Monday and hasn’t appeared in court, continues to cooperate with investigators, Kelly said Friday. Police have surveillance images of Shahzad around Times Square and video that shows his car traveling to the spot where they say he left the smoking SUV rigged with a gasoline-andpropane bomb. Kelly declined to discuss what Shahzad is telling investigators. “This individual is cooperating. In these types of situations, you let the information flow, so to speak,� he said.

homes evacuated, sharpshooters and an armored vehicle rolling in. The parked, New York City-bound Greyhound was surrounded for nine hours Thursday, until the man who took the call, an immigrant from the African nation of Burundi, finally emerged. Police now say their “appropriate� show of force so frightened the passenger that he refused to leave the bus until a family member helped talk him out. Authorities did not release the name of the passenger, who Ferland said will not face charges. Police say he was a native Swahili speaker who understood limited English.

Congress wants review of market plunge WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers are trying to learn the causes of the drastic stock market sell-off to ensure that high-tech trading is monitored and average investors are protected in the wilds of Wall Street. Sens. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., and Mark Warner, D-Va., have asked Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd to use the pending overhaul of financial regulations to address the Dow Jones industrial average’s sudden, brief drop of almost 1,000 points Thursday. The House has scheduled a hearing on the market plunge for Tuesday. President Barack Obama said Friday that regulatory authorities are evaluating the “unusual market activity� with an eye toward protecting investors and preventing a recurrence. He said regulators would make their findings and recommendations public. Warner and Kaufman, in a letter to Dodd Friday, want to use the financial overhaul bill moving through the Senate to require the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to undertake a thorough study of high-frequency trading and other tools that move markets in fractions of a second.

Chicken quip grounds high-flying Senate candidate CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Right wing, left wing, chicken wing. Suddenly Nevada politics is all about chickens — bad news for the Republican Senate front-runner but a ray of hope for struggling Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid. Sue Lowden recently suggested bartering with doctors for medical care — “our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor.� The line from the millionaire casino executive and former beauty queen immediately became a late-night joke and YouTube sensation, and upended a GOP race that had been hers to lose. Democrats set up a website, “Chickens for Checkups,� and dispatched a volunteer in a chicken suit to one of her fundraisers. GOP rival Danny Tarkanian circulated a video of her comments and asked if she were the best candidate to take on Reid.

Winners show ‘Sprint’is a verb

...less feud

Team owner Hendrick cools Johnson and Gordon rivalry What could have been a very interesting NASCAR rivalry has been nipped in the bud, at least for now. After his two four-time Sprint Cup champions Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson had run-ins on the track and pointed comments afterward at both Texas and Talladega, team owner Rick Hendrick called the two together in an effort to keep the building feud from tearing his race team apart. “It’s amazing what happens when you get Mr. H. [Rick Hendrick, team owner] involved,” Gordon said. “The three of us had a good conversation. I think we all recognize what contributes to everything that happened at Texas as well as Talladega. “We laughed about a lot of stuff, and I feel like the most important thing is that all the communication that we have during the week and at the race track, what that contributes to our success as a group, is too important to let a rivalry escalate out of control. “It’s OK to have rivalries, we understand that, to be competitive, we’re very competitive. All that is good and healthy. That is what we talked about.” Johnson has a similar description of the three-way conference call. “We just all hopped on a phone call and talked about what had gone on, and I think when Jeff jumped out of the car [at the conclusion of the Talladega race] he didn’t realize that it was just a bad decision on my part to come down and try to get in front in that lane,” he said. “So our conversation was pretty good to be honest with you. In a lot of ways from Rick’s standpoint, my standpoint, and Jeff’s it was just a mistake that I made. And unfortunately coming off the heels of Texas and the fact that Jeff crashed after that and the emotions were high and he got out of the car and said some things that he probably didn’t want to.” Interestingly, Gordon had a little different take on his postrace comments. “I said what I said, and I wouldn’t take it back,” he said. “But I understand why we had our conversation with Rick and Jimmie and myself this week to make sure it doesn’t go any further.” Even though many in the sport agree that NASCAR could use a good rivalry, Gordon and Johnson aren’t really the best two candidates, or at least that’s what Gordon said in an interview several weeks back. He said that for a real rivalry, one that fans could get really excited about, the two combatants need to be very different from each other. “You have to have the black and white,” he said, holding his hands outstretched to illustrate. “One is over here and repre-

Above, Johnson, driving the No. 48, leads Jeff Gordon in the No. 24 during last month’s Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. (NASCAR photos) sents something more conservative or younger, whatever it may be. Then this one over there represents the core fan, the good ol’ boys and people who have been following the sport for years.” And he said back then that he and Johnson won’t make much of a rivalry. “Never,” he said. “We won’t. Jimmie will have a rival -- whoever beats him on a consistent basis and keeps him from winning the championship. “That will be good for the sport. Somebody’s waiting for that and looking for that. That person is going to be a hero.” But to many in the sport, the suddenly more vocal Gordon is becoming that hero himself.

Burton looking to do his part; Earnhardt homage ASK RICK!

“Who is the NASCAR driver most likely to go into politics or some other public position once his racing days are over?” A: Jeff Burton. The Virginia driver discussed just that last week during a media session at his home-state track, Richmond International Raceway. “I see myself serving my community in some form or fashion,” he said. “I don’t know what that is. I never served in the military, I’ve lived my life to be the best race car driver and a good husband and a good father. That’s been my mission.” But he said he has other things in mind on down the road. “I had not served my country and that’s something that I think we all need to

do, and I haven’t done that,” he said. “When I step back from this, then that’s what I’m going to go set out to do. I don’t know if that’s going to be in a political arena. I don’t know if that’s going to be volunteering. “I don’t know what that means other than to say that I haven’t done my part and it would be my time to do my part.” Q: What is Dale Earnhardt Jr. saying about his decision to drive a replica of his father’s No. 3 Wrangler-sponsored car in July’s Nationwide Series race at Daytona in honor of his father’s induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame? A: “Some will like it, some won’t like it,” he said. “I feel like it is appropriate, and I think everybody knows that I am pretty careful about all that kind of stuff. Shoot, man, if we really had wanted to wear it out, we could have run the No. 3 all over the place. It just seems like a reasonable opportunity and it seemed like that if there is a time to ever do it, this is one of the times.” “I was uncomfortable about it initially but the more I kind of see everybody together and the car itself and stuff like that, the more I get excited about it and the more I am happy about doing it. I wouldn’t want to do anything to upset anybody, the fans or anything like that. I feel like I do a good job of staying within the guidelines of respect and taste regarding my father and what he accomplished and his fans and all that stuff. I feel like it will be OK.” Got a question about NASCAR? Ask Rick! Email your question to rminter@racintoday.com

NASCAR’s elite series gets its name from a sponsoring cell phone company, but the title seems to describe the nature of races lately as 400- and 500-mile, or 400- and 500-lap races, are being decided by short sprints at the end. Saturday’s 400-lapper at Richmond was yet another Sprint Cup event in which the leader in the closing stages wound up losing the race to a driver who surged out of the pack at the finish to claim the win. Once again, the late-race loser was Jeff Gordon, who for about the fourth time this season appeared to have the race in his control until a late-race restart – and NASCAR’s double-file restart rules – put Kyle Busch in position to bolt past him and get his first Cup win since last summer at Bristol and his first since Dave Rogers became his crew chief. Gordon said the new rules – and the trend toward short dashes at the end of races – require a different approach to racing strategy. “Our cars that we’ve been leading those laps with are not the kind of cars that you want a green-white-checkered or a late caution,” he said. “That’s something you have to think about. You have to try to figure out how to make an air pressure adjustment or do certain things to make your car really good on those short runs, because we’re seeing them every weekend, and that’s how you’re going to have to win races.”

RCR excelling over ‘09 season Richard Childress Racing continues to show strength this season after a disappointing 2009 campaign. A week after winning with Kevin Harvick at Talladega, RCR had three drivers in the top 12 in both finishing positions and the championship standings after Saturday night’s race at Richmond International Raceway. Harvick, with his third-place run at Richmond, took over the points lead from Jimmie Johnson. Jeff Burton was fourth in the race and is ninth in the standings, while Clint Bowyer was 12th in the race and is 12th in the points standings. Harvick said a change in the management structure at the team last fall is playing a big role in the on-track success this year. Scott Miller, who was Burton’s crew chief, moved up to Director of Competition, and Kent Day is the team’s technical director of competition and focuses on race car development. “Scott [Miller] in specific takes a lot of stress off of [team owner Richard Childress] of having to listen to opinions from each different person,” Harvick said. “Scott gathers all those opinions and makes his best recommendation to Richard. So it’s a much different structure and process than the way it used to work … “Then you have Kent Day who has done a good job with the engineering group, placing the right people in the right spots.”

‘Treacherous’track tamed? The Cup drivers will make their second straight nighttime appearance this weekend with the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on Saturday night. The “Track Too Tough To Tame” isn’t quite as tough now that it sports a new, smooth coat of asphalt, or at least that’s the way Jeff Gordon sees it. Gordon has seven Darlington wins, tops among active drivers. “Now it’s smoother and has more grip, but it’s still pretty treacherous because you do run right up next to the wall,” he said. “It can still bite you, but not quite as much as it used to be although it’s faster now and that is a factor.”
