PFIZER ANNOUNCES FUTURE REDUCTIONS IN SANFORD

SOUTHERN LEE

Puryear out as Cavs’ coach By ALEX PODLOGAR alexp@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — It’s official now. When a job posting for a head football coach at Southern Lee appeared on the state jobs board online in March, it came as a surprise, because the school still had Eric Puryear Puryear on staff. Now, there’s an opening. Puryear said on Tuesday night that he feels it is better that he steps aside, leaving Southern Lee only 10 months after he was hired to replace Bill Maczko. Puryear will also leave his teaching position. “I did appreciate my time spent in Sanford and I know that I was appreciated by the kids,” Puryear said. “The upside for the program is tremendous with the right coach and the right people

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

Lee County’s largest non-government employer will cut nearly half of its work force — 400 jobs — over the next five years. According to officials, “the plant will remain a critical part of Pfizer’s global supply network.”

BUSINESS RESPONSE

“Pfizer is keenly aware of the impact the proposed changes will have on ... the community and the state. Colleagues who lose their jobs ... will receive severance benefits and other assistance.” — Spokesman Rick Chambers —

“This is definitely not news we wanted to hear, but the good news is they are not closing entirely. The decreases will occur over five years, so hopefully ... workers can transition into other jobs here and stay here.” — LCEDC Director Bob Heuts —

NEW YORK — Pfizer Inc. said Tuesday it will cut 400 jobs from its plant in Sanford — and 6,000 jobs worldwide — as it continues to trim its manufacturing capacity after acquiring smaller rival Wyeth last year. A press release sent by Pfizer spokesman Rick Chambers

Tuesday morning said staffing at the pharmaceutical plant in Sanford will be reduced by 400 positions by the end of 2015. That is roughly 47 percent of the workforce. The company announced that despite the reduction in staffing, “the plant will continue to remain a critical part of Pfizer’s global supply network,

When the light is just right, her luxurious coat has silver and gold highlights. Diamond must have been well loved in her previous life, as she is very friendly and approaches visitors to the cat room seeking affection. She is purr-fectly litter box trained and looking for a lap on which to nap. Diamond is happy to play with you as long as it doesn’t interfere with her eating or napping schedule. Please stop by and let Diamond satisfy your need to hear a kitty purr and to feel a very soft fur coat.

Businessman arrested for tax embezzlement

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Goldston businessman was arrested last week on felony tax charges filed by the North Carolina Department of Revenue. Therl Raynard Matthews, 47, of Goldston was charged on May 12 with one count of embezzlement of state property and three counts of obtaining property by false pretense. Arrest warrants allege that Therl Raynard Matthews aided and abetted Matthews Family Home Care, LLC, also of Goldston, to embezzle and misapply and convert to its own use $34,954 in North Carolina withholding taxes between Jan. 1, 2006, and Dec. 31, 2009. Additional warrants allege that Matthews filed his 2006, 2007 and 2008 state income tax returns claiming North Carolina income tax withheld that he knew, as president and responsible corporate officer, had not been remitted to the Department of Revenue. Matthews appeared before a Lee County magistrate and was released after posting a $10,000 secured bond. The charges against Matthews resulted from an investigation by an auditor in the Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raleigh Field Audit Office and a special agent with the Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Criminal Investigations Section. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from staff reports

Zombie film seeks more undead extras

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The locally produced zombie flick, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Few Brains More: Summer of Bloodâ&#x20AC;? is once again calling all zombies to be extras for filming this weekend. Those interested are asked to show up at 9 a.m. Saturday at Old Gilliam Mill in Sanford for a day of shooting zombie scenes for the movie, directed by

Sanford resident Christine Parker. The only requirement, according to Parker, is that those who wish to be extras come dressed in â&#x20AC;&#x153;early 70s styleâ&#x20AC;? clothing. Those who were extras during filming in April are asked to bring what they wore the last time they participated. Food will be provided, and extras will be able to set up a tent or camper and camp out at Old Gilliam Mill Saturday night. Filming will resume Sunday morning and will end at 5 p.m. For more information, find the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page at facebook.com, search â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Few Brains More.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from staff reports

CHATHAM COUNTY

County budget will mean tax increase PITTSBORO (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Chatham County manager has proposed a nearly $84.6 million budget that raises the tax rate 4.15 percent, almost all of it to fund schools, including the opening of Margaret B. Pollard Middle School. Under Manager Charlie Horneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending plan, which the commissioners must approve by the end of June, the county tax rate would rise 2.5 cents to 62.72 cents per $100 of assessed property value. The owner of a house valued at $200,000 would pay $1,254.40 in county taxes. The budget increases overall school funding 6 percent, while reducing non-school spending by 4 percent, according to county officials. The funding needed to open the middle school and to cover other increases in school funding is almost 2 cents of the proposed 2.5-cent tax increase, Horne said. To curb costs, the proposed budget suspends for a second year the pay-forperformance (merit) salary increases for county employees and does not include any other pay increases or lump sum payments to employees. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Raleigh News & Observer

City approves water, sewer hikes By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Sanford City Council approved rate hikes for city water and sewer customers Tuesday, despite stiff opposition from two council members who worried the time isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right to up bills for locals. The council voted 4 to 2, with Mike Stone and Charles Taylor opposing, to bump up rates anywhere from 9 cents to $1.04 per 100 cubic feet, or 748 gallons, of water or sewer consumption. The measure is part of a multi-year plan to pay for $67 million in improvements to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big Buffalo sewer plant to meet expected growth through the year 2030. Under that plan, water rates would go up 4 percent this year, 3 percent in 2012, 2 percent in 2013 and 2 percent in 2014. Sewer rates would rise 6 percent in 2010-2011, 5 percent in 2012, 2 percent in 2013 and 2 percent in 2014.

But Stone and Taylor called for a 12-month freeze on the rates, arguing water consumption is down and localsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pocketbooks are already strained by the recession. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not ready to throw down and do five years of increases in a row,â&#x20AC;? Stone said, adding that delaying increases by a year isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to affect the 30-year financing schedule for improvements at Big Buffalo. Stone also complained that questions persist about the pressing nature of work at the sewer plant, which would expand capacity from 6.8 million gallons of capacity per day to 12 million gallons per day, considering declining utility usage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building it and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what tomorrow brings,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost rolling the dice.â&#x20AC;? Other council members said the project is too important to sidestep now, pointing out the plant has run in the past at nearly 80 percent capacity.

Board: Public interest in budget light By BILLY BALL bball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lee County residents had little to say about the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed $60.6 million budget in a public hearing Monday. Board of Commissioners Chairman Richard Hayes cited â&#x20AC;&#x153;ho-humâ&#x20AC;? public interest in a spending plan that includes no tax increases or layoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had hoped there would have been some people to tell us â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go aheadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Hayes said Tuesday. Commissioners heard from only two speakers at Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing, one

of which was Boys and Girls Clubs of Sanford/Lee County Executive Director Bo Hedrick. Hedrick has been stumping for dollars from local government officials as his nonprofit reels from slashed grant funding. Lee County Manager John Crumptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommended budget maintains the 75 cents per $100 valuation property tax rate and a 345-person workforce, one year after the revenue-wracked county was forced to lay off 26 workers to make ends meet. Among its highlights, the plan comes with a 23 percent cut to spending reserves, down from

The approved increases include a hike of $12.98 to $13.50 water rate if customers use anywhere from zero to 300 cubic feet per month. For most residential and non-residential customers who use more than 300 cubic feet, the rate would increase to $4.08, the exception being non-residential buyers using more than 800 cubic feet per month. Those customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rates would jump from $2.44 to $2.53. District customers will see rates rise from $25.95 to $26.99 if they use from zero to 300 cubic feet of water per month. Sewer rates will go up from $13.47 to $14.28 for those using less than 300 cubic feet, and from $4.49 to $4.76 for those using more than 300 cubic feet. City officials say they hope to phase out the â&#x20AC;&#x153;districtâ&#x20AC;? rates in the coming years, billing customers based only on whether they are inside city limits or not.

State officials mandate that utility providers prep plans for expansion once a facility is running at 80 percent capacity and begin work on expansion at 90 percent capacity, said Sanford Public Works Director Victor Czar. Czar added that planning began in earnest years ago on moving forward with expansion at Big Buffalo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something that you can just pick up and set down,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Terrible incident has sparked sense of unity Our View Issue: The aftermath of the tragic death of Lee County High School junior Josh Britt

Our stance: Tragedies have a way of pulling people together, and hopefully this unity leaves its mark on Sanford in a positive way

he father of Josh Britt, the 17-year-old Lee County High School student killed in a horrific crash on U.S. 1 Friday night, couldn’t find the words Monday when describing the way our community has come together in the wake of his son’s death. “It’s all very humbling,” Jeff Britt told The Herald. “From the students, his coaches, the faculty and staff, friends and family ... we’re just in awe.” The outpouring of support has been impressive, and it has been a beautiful representation of the kind of community Sanford can be ... and often is.

Black and white, young and old, men and women, friends and strangers ... they’ve all come together in support of Josh Britt’s family — two parents, three siblings and a host of other family members — who are still trying to come to grips with the high school junior’s death. Josh died Friday night when his car hit another car traveling in the wrong direction. As police continue to investigate the accident and whether or not the other driver — a 48year-old man who also leaves behind a loving family — was impaired, our community is not

only seeking answers as to why a young man was taken away from us before his prime, but they’re also realizing how fragile life is. How quickly and randomly it can all end. Josh Britt’s funeral is today, and because of the expected crowd, it has been moved to the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. Hundreds of of his classmates wore white shirts with the No. 9 — his football jersey number — written or painted on them. Many of them gathered on the football field to drop flowers off at a makeshift memorial. A few thousand people have joined Facebook groups dedi-

cated to him, and the story of his death has been the most read (and most recommended) article in our website’s history. This is what community is all about. This is why many decide against the amenities larger cities provide. It’s why so many have lived their entire lives here. It’s why many more have chosen to stay. Tragedies have a way of bringing people together. We hope this unity leaves its mark on our city in a positive way. If anything positive can come from such a terrible accident, we would be grateful.

Learning from pros

t’s difficult to believe that I recently began my 31st year at The Herald. I feel blessed, as I’ve had the opportunity to get to know so many wonderful people through my work. As I look back over the years, I also recall the many lessons I’ve learned, especially from those who were leaders in my early years at The Herald. I still recall the words from W.E. “Bill” Horner, the long-time publisher of this newspaper, who once told me, “Local names sell papers.” He’s right. People love to read about their friends and neighbors. I miss my good friend Lois Byrd, who was a star reporter. She taught me about hard work — and to be fair and factual in all that we report. William C. “Bill” Hodges, who was editor when I came to The Herald, was my buddy with whom I enjoyed swapping sports stories. He was a mentor who stressed the importance of spelling and grammar. Norman Branch, advertising director, and Roger Lee, circulation director, taught me the importance of good customer service. Charles Fields and Russell Causey, of our composing room, were friends who nurtured my appreciation for the newspaper business. I miss them all, but I remember them and thank them for the time they spent with this ol’ rookie.

Miss USA Those who watched the Miss USA pageant on national television Sunday night had the opportunity to see the beautiful Miss USA, Kristen Dalton from Wilmington. Miss Dalton has ties to Sanford, as her mother, Jeannie, was the daughter of the late Guy and Jeannine Boger of Sanford. Jeannie was a pageant winner herself, having won the title Miss North Carolina USA in 1982.

Our State photo Our State magazine is a wonderful publication detailing each month various facets of life in North Carolina. The May 2010 edition features a photograph taken by Sanfordian Sharon Mercer. The photograph, which appears on the tar heel images page, features a photo of a fence with seashells and was taken at Oriental, a town located on the North Carolina coast. It’s a beautiful photograph.

Political signs Well, the election season is over — for now. Yet, some political signs remain posted around Lee County. Obviously, we’re a lot more enthusiastic about putting up political signs than we are with taking them down when the election is over. So, candidates, please check around and make sure your signs are down. It would be much appreciated by your fellow citizens.

Definition of words L

iberal politicians speak a different language from most of us — which may help to explain why the “liberal” label, unlike the “conservative” one, is eschewed by most politicians seeking election or reelection. For example, when liberal politicians say the government needs a “balanced” package of “revenue enhancements,” what they really mean is that you have too much money in your pocket — and that they plan to pick it in the most-surreptitious manner they can come up with. Fiscal problems tend to expand the liberal lexicon. Smaller-than-desired increases in government spending become “cuts.” The special interests who pocket most tax dollars — either as salaries, subsidies, or vendor payments— become “the people.” The general interest of average taxpayers who don’t derive their income or status from the government, on the other hand, turns into a “special interest.” Every now and then, however, liberal politicians drift away from their carefully constructed terminology of obfuscation and say what they think. Check out how North Carolina House Speaker Joe Hackney defined his terms in press interviews leading up to the opening day of the 2010 legislative session in Raleigh. Asked about his fiscal priorities in fashioning a 2010-11 state budget that is several hundred millions dollars in the red, Hackney first indicated that education would be a top priority. But later he defined the priority as protecting teachers, a phrase that had the virtue of explaining precisely what he really meant — though not really what most people think of as the top education priority, namely protecting students. Hackney apparently believes that protecting the economic interests of teachers is the same thing as protecting educational opportunity. It is no coincidence that the North Carolina Association of Educators, the state’s largest teacher union, sees the issue the same way. Its president told the Associated Press just before the legislative session began that its top priority would be to protect the jobs of its members. The next priority, it seems, is to push for a pay raise for teachers, a policy that Gov. Beverly Perdue and some House leaders favor but Senate leaders do not, at least at the moment. But in few other areas of our political debate is it so blithely assumed that the interests of the producers and consumers of a good or service are precisely aligned. Political liberals castigate the financial-services industry for working against the interests of their borrowers and investors. During recent local referenda across North Carolina seeking voter approval for proposed new taxes on home sales, liberals complained that the real-estate lobby’s claims of protecting homeowners against tax increases were fallacious

and self-serving. Liberals rarely equate the interests of drug companies and the elderly, hospitals and patients, oil companies and motorists, or police officers and crime victims. Yet they routinely equate the interests of teacher unions with the delivery of high-quality educational services to North Carolina families. It is certainly true that there are many education policies that have the potential to help specific groups of educators and students at the same time. Differentiating teacher pay according to evident performance in the classroom would serve to reward the best teachers, which would create an incentive for them to stay in the profession and for other current or would-be teachers to improve their performance to make more money. These incentives would help students be more successful, too. And eliminating the statewide cap on charter schools would give both parents and teachers more choices, more opportunities to find the educational setting that best meets their preferences and expectations. But simply protecting the jobs of current teachers — the good, the bad, and the (professionally) ugly — is hardly in the interests of the students subjected to the supervision of the latter two groups. It doesn’t take a cynic to recognize that liberals who advocate such a policy are more likely to be responding to pressure-group politics than to the prospect of educational progress. Just to be clear: I’m defining “educational progress” as demonstrable increases in student learning and parental satisfaction, not as a teacher-union endorsement for the next election. John Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

Today’s Prayer The grass withers, the flower fades, bacause the breath of the Lord blows upon it. (Isaiah 40:7) PRAYER: Father, teach us to trust in You, knowing that You will help us in time of need. Amen.

To the Editor: Ah yes, the big bad Gulf oil spill. How many mistakes were made? Let me count the ways. First was there a “back up” plan? Nope ... if the so-called “emergency shut-off” some miles below the surface didn’t work, these geniuses didn’t have a clue. Second, now they “scrambled” to come up with a solution. Let’s put a 100-ton cement box over it and suck out the escaping oil to a waiting tanker above. Did it work? No. They never did an experiment before to see if it would. Instead, ice crystals formed in the cold murky depths blocked the oil flow. Third, try using a “straw” to suck out the offending liquid muck. Put a 6-inch tube in a 21-inch pipe. Hearken ... something is “amiss” here. In school if the question was subtract 6 from 21, that still is 15. So, you stick 15 inches of some kind of muck around that straw to stop the flow. It doesn’t work too well, does it? This is something akin to the old saying that someone was “dumber” than a “bag of hammers.” Fourth, drill another well to plug the well spilling toxic ocean-killing sludge. Anyone got a calendar handy, folks? Yep, seems like “months” for that solution. The Gulf fishing and recreational coast may be lost for decades because of this Gulf oil spill. I would ask — do we in the Carolinas want our fishing, recreation and tourist industry to be flushed down the proverbial toilet. I personally don’t think so. The solution is simple. Raise the CAFÉ fuel mileage rating of vehicles to European levels. All alternative energy sources such as hydro, solar, geo-thermal and ethanol should be utilized. Improve energy efficiency for all appliances and buildings. Any oil drilling off the coast of North Carolina should get the past thumbs down. That “past” was in the Roman arena when a gladiator did not present a good showing. In this case, the “gladiator” is big oil. That needs to be put in its right place. Add my “thumbs down!” GEORGE WILBERG Sanford

she said. “It just feels like home.” The Freedles relaunched the Dairy Bar Tuesday after foreclosing on a $200,000 loan to its last owner, Rick Quinn, in mid-April. For Kathy Freedle, the return to ownership — she took over for her late father in 1995 — is getting back to basics. “It’s still true to its roots,” she said Tuesday. Kathy Freedle’s father, Sanford mainstay Pokey Fulton, opened the longtime restaurant in 1954 as a full-service soda shop and the customers followed. Kathy Freedle grew up in the Dairy Bar, and recounts times where she worked 100-hour weeks to keep it afloat. Over the years, some things changed. The Dairy Bar moved a short distance to its current location on Carbonton

Road and adopted an “old-timey” setting, complete with hamburgers, french fries, milkshakes and black-and-white photos of Marilyn Monroe. The menu also expanded to include more upscale dining aside from the typical diner fare. But Kathy Freedle said the “new” Dairy Bar will simplify its menu, focusing on the basics that made it so beloved by customers over the years. “We’ll just do what we do best,” she said. Business was booming for the diner’s first day back Tuesday, and excited customers took the initiative to bring ballons and flowers for Dairy Bar employees. “That’s the first time anybody’s ever given me flowers,” Paul Freedle said. Sanford resident Willie Bryant said he used to come to the Dairy Bar every day until its recent closing. Bryant’s wife told

A witness who was travelling behind Britt Friday told police at the scene of the accident that he believed Boswell’s car was parked on U.S. 1, facing south with its lights out. His description led some in the community to suggest Boswell might have purposely parked his vehicle, and some spread word he possessed a “suicide note” at the time of the accident.

And that could be weeks.” Smith said investigators believe Boswell was travelling the speed limit (65 mph), as was Britt when the two collided. “That’s a 130 mph impact, which is much different than had Boswell been parked,” Smith said. “It’s still a mystery about the headlights.” Both men were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which is still under investigation, according to Smith. Because of the expected large crowds, Britt’s funeral has been moved to the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center. The ceremony begins at 4 p.m. today.

with several hundred highly skilled employees and a clearly defined role in the production of vaccines.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pfizer is keenly aware of the impact the proposed changes will have on its colleagues, the community and the state,â&#x20AC;? Chamber said in the press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colleagues who lose their jobs as a result of these changes will receive severance benefits and other assistance to help with their transitions.â&#x20AC;? The Sanford plant, located on 230 acres, began operations in 1987. It currently employs approximately 850 manufacturing and support colleagues. The plant became part of Pfizer in 2009 following Pfizerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acquisition of Wyeth. For Lee County Economic Development Corporation Director Bob Heuts, the announcement was tough to take. Lee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate was 13.2 percent for March, down more than a point from February but still among the highest in the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is definitely not news we wanted to hear,â&#x20AC;? Heuts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the good news is they are not closing entirely. The decreases will occur over five years, so hopefully in that time we can get used to the idea and help those workers transition into other jobs here and stay here.â&#x20AC;? Heuts said laid-off Pfizer workers could also find jobs at similar biotech plants in the Triangle, including Novartis, Biogen and Merck. Also, Pfizerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poultry health operations in Durham and Laurinburg, which together employ about 235, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be affected by Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement. Heuts added by the time the cuts are fully realized, the local economy should be much stronger than it is now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are seeing an uptick in activity already,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Companies are starting to hire again and business is picking back up. We continue to see improvement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as fast as the deterioration occurred, but it is happening.â&#x20AC;? The Sanford biotechnology facility houses vaccine manufacturing. The site produces key drug substance components for Prevnar, the newly FDA-approved Prevnar 13 and Men-

ingitec (approved for use outside the United States). In November, Pfizer announced it would end its research and development operations at locations including Sanford and Research Triangle Park. Up to 70 research jobs in Sanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plant were expected at that time to be affected.

RALEIGH

WORLDWIDE IMPACT The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest drugmaker says it will cease operations at eight plants in Ireland, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. by the end of 2015, and reduce operations at six other plants (including Sanford) over the next several years. The plants make a range of pharmaceutical and consumer health products. Overall, the company operates 78 plants internationally and employs about 116,000 workers. In April, Pfizer, based in New York, said it would cut 20,000 jobs as part of the Wyeth integration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The restructuring of our global plant network is critical to our efforts to remain competitive so that we can continue to meet patient needs and expand the access and affordability of our medicines,â&#x20AC;? said Pfizer global manufacturing president Nat Ricciardi, in a statement. Under the plan, Pfizer will cut operations at pharmaceutical plants in Caguas, Puerto Rico; Loughbeg, Ireland, and Rouses Point, N.Y. The company plans to shut down injectible medicines plants in Carolina, Puerto Rico and Dublin, Ireland. Other shutdowns include biotechnology plants in Shanbally, Ireland along with consumer health care plants in Richmond, Va. and Pearl River, N.Y. Pfizer said the timing of specific exits will depend upon the complexity of operations, the amount of time required for product transfers, and other business requirements. The company has also recommended reductions in several other plants, including Guayama, Puerto Rico; Newbridge, Ireland; Andover, Mass.; Havant, U.K.; and Illertissen, Germany.

Brothers claim abuse by monk, sue order Associated Press Writer

ST. PAUL, Minn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two brothers who say they were sexually abused by a priest affiliated with a Minnesota abbey filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the religious order that runs the abbey and its preparatory school, as well as their alleged abuser. The anonymous plaintiffs, now 40 and 37, grew up and still live in North Carolina and were altar boys who served with the Rev. Francisco Schulte when he worked at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Raleigh in the mid-1980s. The older of the two says Schulte began molesting him in 1984, when he was 14 and traveled with the older man as the priest ministered to Hispanics Catholics in the Raleigh diocese. The suit

says Schulte recruited the boy to enroll at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Preparatory School in Collegeville, where the abuse continued. His brother says he was molested by Schulte beginning in 1986, when he was 12. Schulte, 57, belongs to the Order of St. Benedict, which operates the prep school and St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abbey at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University in Collegeville. The lawsuit claims the abuse happened while Schulte was under the orderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supervision, and the brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney, Jeff Anderson, said the orderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders have known about various allegations against Schulte for some time. A statement posted on the abbeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website said Abbot Jerome Theisen received an allegation in 1992 that Schulte engaged in inappropriate sexual

behavior with a minor in 1984. From then until June 2002, Schulte lived at the abbey with â&#x20AC;&#x153;prudent, nonriskâ&#x20AC;? limitations on his ministry, it said. Schulte began a threeyear leave in 2003 and spent time in Italy and Mexico, where superiors were apprised of his situation, the abbey said. He spent much of 2007 and 2008 with family in North Carolina, then returned to Italy again under supervision, it said. When abbey officials learned in April that Schulte might be sued, Abbot John Klassen asked him to return to St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abbey, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which he chose to do,â&#x20AC;? the statement said. Abbey spokesman Brother Paul Richards said Schulte has returned to the abbey but neither he nor abbey officials would comment on the lawsuit.

STATE BRIEFS

Senate OKs personal care cuts

RALEIGH (AP) — Senate budget writers agreed Tuesday to implode the programs that give athome Medicaid patients help with their cooking and bathing, arguing providers aren’t serious about eliminating fraud in an industry that employs tens of thousands of people. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a nearly $19 billion spending plan that backs Gov. Beverly Perdue’s proposal to eliminate two programs that serve 38,000 residents. They would be replaced with two programs that would serve only a small fraction of those patients — probably less than 5,000, according to officials. The full committee spent about two hours reviewing the bill and recommended it after only two amendments were considered. The budget was scheduled for debate Wednesday afternoon by the full Senate before the first of two required votes. The plan also would seek another $60 million in state spending reductions on in-home personal care services. It is the latest skirmish in a fight over the services between health regulators and lawmakers on one side and providers and their patients on

the other. Patients are worried they’ll be forced to enter a nursing home if they lose their assistance. “I’d have to beg for help if I didn’t have any help,” said Vera Watts, 89, of Hillsborough, who can’t get around without a walker in her home. An aide comes to her house two to three hours a day, five days a week. “There’s plenty of people out there who (would be) suffering if they didn’t have the help.” Lawmakers and state health officials have argued that thousands of patients are getting more help than their conditions require, and service providers have no incentives to reduce hours, thus reducing their Medicaid payments. “We know that there is extensive fraud in this program but we can’t get any meaningful help from the industry,” said Sen. Doug Berger, D-Franklin, co-chairman of the Senate’s health budget subcommittee. Tim Rogers, chief executive officer of the Association for Home and Hospice Care of North Carolina, wrote Tuesday to lawmakers that the proposal goes overboard. “If there is provider fraud in the system, then it is the offending

providers that should be targeted,” Rogers wrote. “The secretary’s proposal does not attack what he considers to be the problem. Instead, the proposal punishes the elderly and disabled.” A Medicaid patient currently qualifies for help if they have trouble performing at least two of six “activities of daily living,” such as dressing, eating, going to the bathroom and getting out of a chair. With a doctor’s OK, a registered nurse fills out a form to assess the patient and determine how much help is needed, usually no more than 60 hours a month. The proposal recommended by Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler’s office and inserted in the Senate budget would give the services only to children and those with the most extensive problems with daily living activities. Only 5 percent of the total number of patients receiving personal care services have the highest levels of need, Cansler wrote to lawmakers last week. “Our attention must be concentrated on those individuals who have a high level of functional disability, those who lack family or community support and those who are

truly at risk of institutionalization,” Cansler wrote. The Legislature directed Cansler’s office last year to come up with $40 million in spending reductions for personal care services, but it had already exceeded its budgeted amount for the entire year within the first six months. A judge blocked in February state Medicaid officials from using a new scoring system to determine how many hours of in-home care current patients can receive after the association argued state officials hadn’t taken other corrective measures first. Association lobbyist Tracy Colvard said lawmakers haven’t given enough time for other reforms approved last year to take effect. The state last month started sending an outside nurse to a home and assess whether a patient needs services. The Senate proposal ultimately will go to the House, where one health budget-writer said the chamber may be willing to consider milder changes if the industry agrees to make more changes. “I haven’t seen any proposal from the industry that indicates they would do a better job monitoring their providers,” said Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange.

ecutors said Miller was killed by Hayden in an ambush triggered by a love triangle involving Miller’s ex-wife Vickie Babbitt. Chief Assistant District Ernie Lee said in his opening statement that Hayden talked about how he had an M-16, the type of gun used in the crime. Prosecutors have said they think Babbitt faked car trouble to lure Miller to a secluded stretch of rural road in Jacksonville. They said Hayden was waiting in a ditch with an M-16 rifle and shot Miller in the temple and back. Lee said Tuesday passing motorists found Miller’s body September 16, 1972, near Camp Lejeune less than an hour after he left home. When police found the car, its engine was running, the headlights were on and Miller’s pistol remained in the front seat, unfired. Hayden’s defense attorney, William J. Morgan, said that the state didn’t have enough evidence 37 years ago to convict Hayden and still doesn’t.

NC-based Marine corporal killed in Afghanistan CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) — Military officials say a 29-year-old Marine corporal based in North Carolina has been killed in Afghanistan. The Department of Defense announced on Tuesday that Cpl. Nicholas D. Paradarodriguez of Stafford, Va., died on May 16 in Helmand province. A statement from Camp Lejeune says Paradarodriguez was a team leader assigned to 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 7, I Marine Expeditionary Force Forward. Paradarodriguez joined the Marine Corps in January 2007 and was promoted to corporal in April 2009. Paradarodriguez deployed to Afghanistan in 2008 and again last December.

University conducts full-scale emergency drill GREENVILLE (AP) — Officials at a North Carolina university have completed a full-scale emergency planning drill at a campus residence hall. Tuesday’s drill at East Carolina University centered on an active shooter who took hostages. The exercise was staged on the first day of summer classes, and was designed to prepare staff and law enforcement to respond to a shooter on campus. Emergency response began when simulated shots were heard at a residence hall. From there, the campus community was notified through multiple measures that the drill had begun. Announcements were made over an outdoor speaker system and electronic alerts via e-mail, phone, computer and campus televisions. ECU Chancellor Steve Ballard deemed the drill a success, calling it part of an effort to make the school as safe as possible.

Billy Graham looking to preach one more sermon CHARLOTTE (AP) — Aging evangelist Billy Graham has a desire to preach one more sermon. Graham spokesman Larry Ross said Tuesday that it’s not yet clear whether the vision will become a reality. Ross said Graham and his son, Franklin, have considered doing a video sermon but no specific plans have been made regarding time, location or format. Graham’s last crusade was in New York in 2005. He has spent most of his recent years confined to his home in western North

Carolina and continues to battle a range of ailments. Ross said Graham reiterated his hope of delivering another sermon when he visited Charlotte last month for the reopening of his namesake library.

PRACS cuts 23 jobs in Fargo FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A North Carolina drug-research firm that said earlier it was closing its facility in East Grand Forks, Minn., also is making cuts in North Dakota’s largest city. Cetero Research spokeswoman April Johnson says closure of a laboratory at PRACS Institute in Fargo has resulted in the elimination of 23 jobs. Twenty-one employees worked their last day Friday and two others are relocating to a Cetero lab in Houston. PRACS was founded in Fargo in 1983. Cetero Research bought it in 2007. Johnson says the 600-bed Fargo PRACS site continues to be the largest facility in the Cetero organization.

MI soldier charged with murder in death at NC base

FORT BRAGG (AP) — A soldier from Michigan in the 82nd Airborne Division has been charged with killing his brother-in-law at a North Carolina Army base. Officials at Fort Bragg said Tuesday that 26-year-old Detroit native Spc. Eric A. Mead is being charged with murder, attempted murder and violating an order. The charges stem from a May 9 confrontation on the base in which Mead’s brother-in-law, Stephen Harris, was killed. Mead’s wife was also hurt. A day earlier, Mead’s unit commander had ordered him to have no contact with his wife because of previous arguments between the two.

Local school board voting on diversity policy

RALEIGH (AP) — A local school board in North Carolina is expected to overturn a busing policy designed to increase classroom diversity, just a day after the anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation decision. The Wake County school board was scheduled to take its final vote Tuesday on whether to move away from its policy of assigning students to schools based on their socio-economic backgrounds. The decade-old policy sometimes required busing students from distant communities to improve diversity.

Gambling debate hampers tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recognition bid By TOM BREEN Associated Press Writer

PEMBROKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Lumbee Indians of North Carolina, tired of being not quite a tribe in the eyes of the federal government, are watching their bestever chance at recognition slip away because of a dispute over the role gambling should play in their future. Failure would mean the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi would continue missing out on millions in funding for housing, education and health care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the ball and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running toward the end zone, and suddenly weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being stopped,â&#x20AC;? said Beth Jacobs, a Lumbee who has emerged as a leader among members who say recent decisions by tribal leaders are jeopardizing the recognition bid. The dispute centers on a contract, ratified in March by the Lumbee Tribal Council, that makes Lewin International, a Nevada-based gambling industry consulting firm, the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sole representative in the recognition effort. The contract took many Lumbees by surprise, because their bill for recognition in Congress forbids the tribe from making money off gambling, and the contract makes gambling the most attractive option for Lewin. The contract, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make gambling the sole focus of lobbying efforts. However, it specifies that Lewin will try to win passage of a bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;prefera-

If Congress passes a bill that allows the Lumbees to open a casino, Lewin would have dibs on developing the property. In that scenario, if the Lumbees opted not to open a casino, Lewin would walk away with a $35 million payout. Other scenarios in the contract include giving Lewin a shot at developing tribal property for tourism if the current bill passes without gambling. But the region where most Lumbees live isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t near the resorts in the mountainous west or the eastern seacoast, and the prospects of leisure development there are dicier without an attraction like a casino. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes us look like liars,â&#x20AC;? Jacobs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said all along we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want gaming, we want recognition.â&#x20AC;? Congress will not sup-

port a Lumbee recognition bill that includes gambling, said Washington, D.C.-based lawyer Arlinda Locklear, who had been the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney and lobbyist for 20 years. Blocking newly recognized tribes from making money off gambling has become common over the last 20 years. North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senators, Republican Richard Burr and Democrat Kay Hagan, say they remain committed to the bill. Privately, some of the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislative allies say the contract and the dispute over it make a full Senate vote hard to pull off. They say the bill may have to be tacked onto other legislation to give it a chance at passing this year. Tribal leaders blame critics of the contract for making an internal tribal matter public â&#x20AC;&#x201D; potentially giving opponents ammunition to shoot down recognition efforts. In a letter circulated at

the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring powwow this month, three members of the council wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tribal division has been a successful method to defeat American Indians since the first Europeans came to our shores. We are Lumbee people. We settle our differences within the family.â&#x20AC;? Leaders insist the dustup over gambling is overblown and say the contract offers a range of scenarios and compensation options for Lewin, a firm they argue has leverage in the Senate the tribe didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get with Locklear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bill in the Senate does not contain gaming,â&#x20AC;? said Lumbee Chairman Purnell Swett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our effort for federal recognition is not about gaming.â&#x20AC;? Calls to Larry Lewin, president of Lewin International, were not returned. Federal status has eluded the Lumbee since the 1880s, when North Carolina recognized the tribe, whose members live

mostly in Robeson, Hoke, Scotland and Cumberland countries. After at least 12 congressional studies and countless bills over the last 120 years, the Lumbee have never been closer than they are now. The bill has passed the House of Representatives and a key Senate committee, and for the first time ever the president, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and both North Carolina senators all support recognition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get a favorable vote on the Senate floor, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk,â&#x20AC;? Swett said. In 1956, Congress stranded the Lumbee in their current legal limbo by recognizing them as Indians but denying them the full tribal status needed to receive benefits. The law also blocks the BIA from recognizing the Lumbee, which is why the tribe has to petition Congress. The action was in line with assimilation-minded federal policy at the time. Since then, other tribes stuck in the same limbo have won full recognition. But the Lumbeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sheer size â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with about 55,000 members â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has made other tribes wary about losing federal resources to them. Going unrecognized has not been all bad. The Lumbee avoided confinement to reservations and the patronizing treatment of the federal government that afflicted recognized tribes in the early 20th century. Instead, Lumbees ran their own education system for nearly 100 years before desegregation opened the schools to

non-Indians. The presentday University of North Carolina at Pembroke was previously the sole publicly funded four-year college for Indians in the country. Lumbees founded a bank, utility cooperative and Southern Baptist association, all of which still flourish. And over the last decade, the tribe has thrown itself into new building projects and services, aided by federal Housing and Urban Development funding. Ten years ago, the tribe had $2 million in assets and fewer than 10 full-time employees. Today, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth more than $50 million and has 80 permanent workers, most of them located in a giant, turtle-shaped complex in Pembroke that opened in December as the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters. The success has been uneven, though. Robeson County, where most Lumbees live, is one of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorest. A drive on the back roads around Pembroke, where nearly nine in 10 residents are Lumbee, reveals wellkept farms with contentedly grazing cows, but also dilapidated homes and junked cars. Statistics show Lumbees are far likelier than non-Native Americans to suffer heart disease or be murdered. Half the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teenage boys drop out of high school. And 40 percent of the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members live in mobile homes. The current bill would send at least $108 million a year in federal dollars to the tribe, mostly in health care funding, according to a Congressional Budget Office estimate.

IMMIGRATION

Car bomb suspect appears in court

Immigrant crossings into Arizona rising

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The suspect in a botched car bombing in Times Square appeared in court Tuesday on terrorism and weapons charges for the first time since his arrest two weeks ago, muttering one word about an affidavit on his finances. Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistan-born U.S. citizen, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? when asked to confirm the affidavit. Shahzad, 30, appeared in court wearing a gray sweat suit and looked calm. He was led out of court Tuesday after a 10minute appearance and entered no plea to five felony charges against him. Assistant public defender Julia Gatto identified herself as his attorney. She asked during the hearing if Shahzad could be provided with halal meals in custody. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment afterward. Shahzad has been held at an undisclosed location since his May 3 arrest on charges he abandoned a bomb-lad-

Authorities say the ex-budget analyst from Bridgeport, Conn., had voluntarily waived his rights to an initial court appearance while he was cooperating. Shahzad, of Bridgeport, Conn., was arrested May 3 on a Dubai-bound plane at John F. Kennedy International Airport on charges he drove an SUV rigged with a homemade

car bomb into Times Square two nights earlier, sending thousands of tourists into a panic on a busy Saturday night. The bomb didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explode, and no one was hurt. The U.S. attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said Tuesday Shahzad is charged with attempted use of weapons of mass destruction and attempting acts of terrorism transcending national boundaries, each carrying a maximum life term. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charged with us-

ing a destructive device in an attempted violent crime, punishable by up to 30 years in prison; transporting and receiving explosives, punishable by up to 10 years; and attempting to damage and destroy property with fire and explosives, punishable by up to five years. Since his arrest, Shahzad â&#x20AC;&#x153;has provided valuable intelligence from which further investigative action has been taken,â&#x20AC;? the U.S. attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in Manhattan said in a statement Tuesday. Authorities said shortly after Shahzadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest that the ex-budget analyst had admitted driving the SUV bomb into Times Square and told authorities he had received terror training during a recent fivemonth trip to Pakistan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The investigation into the attempted Times Square bombing continues,â&#x20AC;? the U.S. attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said.

NEW YORK

Piracy suspect pleads guilty in court to hijack

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Somali suspect who became the boyish face of 21st century piracy by staging a brazen highseas attack on a U.S.flagged ship off the coast of Africa pleaded guilty on Tuesday to charges he hijacked the ship and kidnapped its captain. Abdiwali Abdiqadir Muse has been jailed in Manhattan since he was captured last year and faced what was called the first U.S. piracy prosecution in decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very, very sorry about what we did,â&#x20AC;? he said through an interpreter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of this was about the problems in Somalia.â&#x20AC;? He also pleaded guilty

to hostage-taking and conspiracy. He faces a minimum 27 years in prison. Sentencing was set for Oct. 19. Prosecutors branded Muse the ringleader of a band of four pirates who provoked a deadly drama by targeting the Maersk Alabama on April 8, 2009, as it transported humanitarian supplies about 280 miles off the coast of Somalia. The case could be the first of several piracy prosecutions in U.S. courts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of a larger U.S. policy debate over how best to deal with the insurgents and criminal activities that contribute to the persistent instability in Somalia, making

it a haven for al-Qaidalinked terrorists. In the Maersk Alabama case, a criminal complaint said Muse was the first to board the ship, firing his AK47 assault rifle at the captain, Richard Phillips. He entered the bridge, told the captain to stop the ship and â&#x20AC;&#x153;conducted himself as the leader of the pirates,â&#x20AC;? the complaint said. The four pirates held Phillips, of Underhill, Vt., hostage for several days on a sweltering, enclosed lifeboat that was soon shadowed by three U.S. warships and a helicopter. The standoff ended when Navy snipers fatally shot three of the pirates.

Museâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age has been in dispute since the start of the case. Last April, his lawyers insisted he was 15 and should be tried as a juvenile. Prosecutors convinced a judge he was at least 18. Earlier this year, prosecutors alleged that Muse and others tried to seize the two ships in the Indian Ocean in the weeks leading up to their capture of the Maersk Alabama. Court papers, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t name the other ships, alleged Muse threatened to kill the crew of the first vessel with â&#x20AC;&#x153;what appeared to an improvised explosive deviceâ&#x20AC;? after its capture in March 2009.

NOGALES, Mexico (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The migrants walk for days through miles of mesquite scrub, running low on food and sometimes water, paying armed drug thug â&#x20AC;&#x153;guidesâ&#x20AC;? and dodging U.S. law enforcement officers along the way. And still they keep coming. The latest figures show that Arizona, which is about to put into effect the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest immigration law, also is the only border state where illegal crossings are on the rise. While tightened security and daunting fences in Texas and California have made Arizona a busy crossing corridor for years, migrant smugglers now are finding new ways through the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treacherous deserts. Carmen Gonzalez, 27, recalled seven days and six nights of walking with her husband in the desert and being accosted by Mexican thugs with AK-47s, who demanded $100 bribes before abandoning them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so hard and so ugly,â&#x20AC;? Gonzalez said at a shelter in this Mexican border town, where she, her husband and her brother were staying after being deported from Arizona. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try again because we went through too much suffering in the desert.â&#x20AC;? New U.S. Border Patrol statistics show arrests on the Arizona border were up 6 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by about 10,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from October to April, even as apprehension of illegals dropped 9 percent overall. The agency uses arrests to gauge the flow of migrants; there are no precise figures on the number of illegal crossings.

Statistics from the Mexican side also show a rise in illegal crossings through Arizona. Grupo Beta, a Mexican government-sponsored group that aids migrants, helped 5,279 people from January to April in the area across the border from Douglas, Ariz., compared to 3,767 in the same period last year, said agent Carlos Oasaya. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same area where Arizona rancher Robert Krentz was fatally shot in March as he surveyed his property in an all-terrain vehicle. Authorities suspect an illegal immigrant who was headed back to Mexico and worked as a scout for drug smugglers. The killing helped fuel the emotion around the Arizona law, which will empower police to question and arrest anyone they suspect is in the country illegally. It takes effect in July. Immigration is likely to be at the top of the agenda Wednesday when Mexican President Felipe Calderon visits Washington and attends a state dinner at the White House. Calderon has condemned Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law; President Barack Obama has called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;misguidedâ&#x20AC;? and promised to begin tackling an immigration overhaul. Supporters of the Arizona law said Tuesday that the growth in arrests at the border didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spur its passing. Instead, it was a series of factors, including the discovery of a growing numbers of immigrant safe houses and a rise in crime by illegal immigrants who have injured and killed police officers, said state Rep. John Kavanagh.

GULF OIL SPILL

NATION BRIEFS Dem incumbents in Pa. and Ark. face challenges

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Democrats Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas struggled uncertainly for nomination to new Senate terms Tuesday and tea party activists clashed with the Republican hierarchy in Kentucky in primaries testing anti-establishment anger in both political parties. In a fourth race with national implications, Republican Tim Burns and Democrat Mark Critz vied to fill out the final few months in the term of the late Rep. John Murtha in southwestern Pennsylvania. Each political party invested some $1 million to prevail for that House seat and said the race to succeed the longtime Democratic lawmaker was something of a bellwether for the fall.

Blumenthal calls Vietnam mistake â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unintentionalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal on Tuesday said he had â&#x20AC;&#x153;misspokenâ&#x20AC;? in claiming more than once that he served in Vietnam, dismissing the furor that threatened to endanger a seemingly safe Democratic seat as a matter of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a few misplaced words.â&#x20AC;? At a news conference backed by veterans, the popular Connecticut attorney general and front-runner to replace the retiring Sen. Christopher Dodd, said he meant to say he served â&#x20AC;&#x153;during Vietnamâ&#x20AC;? instead of â&#x20AC;&#x153;in Vietnam.â&#x20AC;? He said the statements were â&#x20AC;&#x153;totally unintentionalâ&#x20AC;? errors that occurred only a few times out of hundreds of public appearances. The campaign crisis erupted after The New York Times reported Monday that Blumenthal had distorted his military service. The story included quotes and a video of Blumenthal saying at a 2008 event that he had â&#x20AC;&#x153;served in Vietnam.â&#x20AC;? It also cited several instances of media reports â&#x20AC;&#x201D; apparently uncorrected by Blumenthal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that described him as a Vietnam veteran. Blumenthal underwent six months in Marine boot camp at Parris Island, S.C., and served six years in the Marine Reserve, beginning in 1970, none of it overseas. Before that, Blumenthal got five deferments to avoid going to war between 1965 and 1970.

Christmas Day bombing attempt was unlike 9/11 because it represented a failure to understand intelligence, not a failure to collect and understand it. The congressional review is more stark than the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report. It lays much of the blame at the feet of the National Counterterrorism Center, which Congress created to be the primary agency in charge of analyzing terrorism intelligence.

GOP Rep. Souder to resign over affair with staffer INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Indiana Rep. Mark Souder, an eight-term Republican who promoted abstinence education, said Tuesday heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll resign from Congress after admitting an extramarital affair with a part-time staff member. Souder won a bruising primary just two weeks ago, and the resignation effective Friday could hurt the GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of holding onto the Republican-leaning district in November in a year that many expect will favor the party. Souder, an evangelical Christian who has championed family values and traditional marriage, apologized for his actions but provided no details during an emotional news conference at his Fort Wayne office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so ashamed to have hurt the ones I love,â&#x20AC;? he said as he battled tears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am sorry to have let so many friends down, people who have worked so hard for me.â&#x20AC;?

Missionary freed in Haiti after court convicts her BOISE, Idaho (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The leader of an American group detained while trying to take 33 children out of Haiti after the January earthquake returned Tuesday to Idaho, sidestepping questions about her conviction for arranging illegal travel. Laura Silsby was freed Monday after she was convicted by a judge and sentenced to time already served in jail. She was welcomed at the Boise airport by her sister, mother and members of her Idaho church. Silsby cried while hugging family members and sang a hymn with members of her church congregation.

Salazar acknowledges lax regulation WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grilled by skeptical lawmakers, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Tuesday acknowledged his agency had been lax in overseeing offshore drilling activities and that may have contributed to the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be tremendous lessons to be learned here,â&#x20AC;? Salazar told a Senate panel in his first appearance before Congress since the April 20 blowout and explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig. His appearances before two of the three Senate panels holding hearings Tuesday on the giant oil spill came as federal officials kept a wary eye on the expanding dimensions of the problem. The government increased the area of the Gulf where fishing is shut down to 46,000 square miles, or about 19 percent of federal waters. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up from about 7 percent before. Government scientists were anxiously surveying the Gulf to determine if the oil had entered a powerful current that could take it to Florida and eventually up the East Coast. Tar balls that washed up on Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Key West were shipped to a Coast Guard laboratory in Connecticut to determine if they came from the Gulf spill. Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen told the Senate Commerce Committee the growing size and scattershot nature of the oil spill was creating â&#x20AC;&#x153;several challengesâ&#x20AC;? in containing it and cleaning it up. He called it more complicated than any spill heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever seen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re basically trying to do is protect the whole coast at one time,â&#x20AC;? Allen said. New underwater video released by BP PLC, the oil giant that owns a majority interest in the blown well, showed oil and gas erupting under pressure in large, dark clouds from its crippled blowout preventer safety device on the ocean floor. The leaks resembled a geyser on land. The five-minute clip apparently was recorded late Saturday and Sunday afternoon from aboard a

Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee member Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., shows a map of location of the Gulf oil spill, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday during the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing on response efforts to the Gulf Coast oil spill. remotely operated submarine. Salazar, testifying before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, promised an overhaul of federal regulations and said blame for the BP spill rests with both industry and the government, particularly his agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Minerals Management Service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to clean up that house,â&#x20AC;? Salazar said of the service. While most of the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,700 employees are reliable and trustworthy, he said, there were â&#x20AC;&#x153;a few bad apples.â&#x20AC;? President Barack Obama, who has decried the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cozy relationshipâ&#x20AC;? between government regulators and the energy industry, has proposed splitting the agency into two parts to separate regulatory duties from those who collect royalty fees from oil and gas companies.

Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., the committee chairman, said the panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission was to decipher â&#x20AC;&#x153;the cascade of failures that caused the catastrophic blowout.â&#x20AC;? In addition, he said, Congress needs to figure what must be done to make sure it never happens again. While the cause of the accident at the well has yet to be pinpointed, information uncovered so far raises the question of where the Minerals Management Service was, Bingaman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is long past time to drain the safety and environmental swamp that is MMS,â&#x20AC;? declared Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This agency has been in denial about safety problems for years.â&#x20AC;? Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., pointed to an AP investigation that found that rig that exploded was

allowed to operate â&#x20AC;&#x153;without safety documentation required by government regulationsâ&#x20AC;? and that the government conducted fewer oil rig inspections than it initially claimed and less than its policy requires. BP said Tuesday it was collecting about 84,000 gallons a day from a mile-long tube drawing oil from the blown-out well to a ship on the surface. But it cautioned that increasing the flow through the tube would be difficult. Jane Lubchenco, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told the Senate Commerce Committee it is still unclear whether any of the oil from the spill has reached the powerful Gulf current that would take it to the Florida Keys and possibly beyond.

Report says 9/11 failures repeated in Christmas plot

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Despite a top-to-bottom overhaul of the intelligence community after the 2001 terrorist attacks, the security system showed some of the same failures nearly a decade later and allowed a would-be bomber to slip aboard an airliner, congressional investigators said Tuesday. The Senate intelligence Committee report at times contradicted the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assertion that the nearly catastrophic

New home construction rises

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Construction of homes surged in April to the highest level in 18 months, fueled by buyers capitalizing on an expiring tax credit. Permits for new construction sank, signaling the rebound could fade. Low mortgage rates and two tax credits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; up to $8,000 for new buyers and $6,500 for current owners who buy and move into another home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have boosted home sales this year. To receive a tax credit, borrowers had to have a signed offer by April 30 and must close the deal by the end of June. The rate of home building has now risen more than 40 percent from the bottom in April 2009, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still down 70 percent from the decadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peak in January 2006. Without the tax credit, analysts say home sales will slow in the second half of this year. High unemployment and tight lending standards will likely help keep many buyers away. The report Tuesday from the Commerce Department said the rate of construction of single-family homes and apartment buildings rose 5.8 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 672,000. That was up from

Construction a crew works on a new home in Omaha, Neb. Construction spending rose in March for the first time in five months. an upwardly revised March level of 635,000. The rate, the highest since October 2008, was driven by a 10 percent increase in singlefamily home building. A separate report Tuesday showed wholesale inflation remains tame. Prices fell 0.1 percent in April, the second drop in three months. Core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, rose 0.2 percent, the Labor Department said. But over the past year, core prices are up just 1 percent. The absence of inflation pressures means the Federal Reserve can keep interest rates at record lows to bolster the economic recovery.

Encouraging signals on the economy had minimal impact on the stock market. The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 16 points in midday trading. Analysts say investors are balancing signs of a strengthening U.S. recovery with concerns that the European debt crisis will spread and undermine the global economic rebound. In the Commerce report, the government said building permits, a gauge of future activity, sank 11.5 percent to an annual rate of 606,000. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lowest point since October 2009. Still, a survey Monday showed homebuilders are feeling more optimistic. The National Association

of Home Builders said its housing market index, which tracks industry confidence, rose three points this month to 22, the highest reading since August 2007. Readings below 50 indicate negative sentiment. In March, sales of new homes rose 27 percent in March. That was the biggest monthly increase in 47 years. A four-decade low stockpile of new singlefamily homes, combined with low interest rates and prices, has made home buying affordable, said Sal Guatieri, an economist with BMO Capital Markets. That means that even without the tax credits, housing starts should rise modestly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until the foreclosure wave ebbs and the overhang of unsold existing homes abates, the recovery in homebuilding will be subdued, Guatieri said. For April, food costs dipped by 0.2 percent. It was the first decline in nine months. And it came after a 2.4 percent surge during the previous month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the largest gain in 26 years. The March increase reflected the impact of a winter freeze in Florida that damaged citrus and vegetable crops.

Obama: GOP â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;just-say-no crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on economy

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lumping Republicans together as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;just say noâ&#x20AC;? crowd, President Barack Obama challenged his critics on Tuesday to explain why they oppose his steps to fix the economy. Said Obama: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell us why doing nothing would be better for America.â&#x20AC;? In the latest campaign stop for his economic agenda, this one in struggling Ohio, Obama took concerted swipes at what he called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;unified, determined opposition of one party.â&#x20AC;? He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too late for bipartisanship, even as he criticized those he said were badmouthing his efforts.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the just-say-no crowd had won out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if we had done things the way they wanted to go â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be in a deeper world of hurt,â&#x20AC;? Obama said, in the swing state of Ohio. Unemployment there is close to 11 percent, above the alreadyhigh nationwide average of nearly 10 percent. The president came to explain and defend economic stimulus spending, and measures like tax credits and extended unemployment benefits heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d championed with mostly Democratic support in Congress. Without those measures, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the steady progress we are beginning to see across

America just wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist.â&#x20AC;? Republicans have opposed the steep cost of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans and criticized the pace of the promised recovery, particularly on the key measure of jobs. His comments came on a day of closely watched primary elections in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Arkansas, which are shaping up as a referendum on incumbent Democrats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to a degree the president. Two Democratic senators â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; faced stiff challenges from fellow Democrats, who say the senators were not sufficiently loyal to

party priorities. And in a special House race in southwestern Pennsylvania thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attracted high spending from the national political parties, a Republican and Democrat faced off to see who would serve out the final few months in the term of the late Democratic Rep. John Murtha. The president is on a drive to show people that the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy is getting better, even as their individual situations may not be yet. He got out of Washington and donned a hard hat, goggles and a fire-retardant jacket while touring a hot, noisy plant where metal piping was being manufactured.

Feds: Virginia Tech violated law in 2007 massacre RICHMOND, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S. Department of Education found that Virginia Tech broke federal campus security laws by waiting too long to notify students during the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history, a report released Tuesday said. Tech disputed the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings, saying university officials met standards in effect at the time of the shootings three years ago and that the report is colored by â&#x20AC;&#x153;hindsight bias.â&#x20AC;? The report is the latest to criticize the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the killings of 33 people, including the student gunman, on April 16, 2007. The school could be fined up to $55,000 for two violations alleged in the preliminary report, but no one will face criminal charges, according to the Tech official who drafted the response. Federal officials will consider a response from the school before they finalize their conclusion. The Department of Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report said Tech violated the Clery Actâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirement that universities offer a timely warning when possible danger arises. About two hours elapsed between the shootings of two students at a dormitory and an e-mail alert to the campus.

Nuke plant near NYC likely to survive state ruling BUCHANAN, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Concerns for Hudson River fish and other creatures have raised the prospect that the biggest power producer in the New York metropolitan area could be shut down. But closing the Indian Point nuclear plant would slash as much as 38 percent of the energy available to a power-hungry region and deprive plant owner Entergy Nuclear of hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. That leads many experts to believe there are realworld solutions well short of a shutdown. A New York agency refused last month to grant a water quality permit needed for federal relicensing to keep the Indian Point nuclear power plant operating into the 2030s. At issue is how Indian Point uses the river water. Thousands of fish and fish

eggs are now sucked in and killed or injured, including the shortnose sturgeon, which is an endangered species in New York.

Stocks slide after euro falls to new 4-year low

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Investors uneasy about the news coming out of Europe Tuesday went back to selling stocks sharply lower. The falling euro and news that German regulators plan to limit some kinds of short selling fed the drop. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down almost 115 points after giving up an early gain of 93. The Dow and broader indexes lost more than 1 percent. The euro gave stocks a boost early in the day when European Union countries sent bailout money to Greece. The move raised confidence about Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to prevent its debt crisis from spreading to other economies including the U.S. By afternoon, though, the upbeat mood faded and the euro fell. That sapped the stock marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength. Treasury prices rose after demand for safer investments increased. The euro, the currency shared by 16 European nations, has been driving stock trading for weeks as investors interpreted its slide as a sign of continuing economic problems in Europe. It hit a new four-year low of $1.2160 on Tuesday.

Wal-Mart profit rises, but US sales in squeeze NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The recovering U.S. economy may be a mixed blessing for Wal-Mart. Wealthier customers who turned to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest retailer during the Great Recession appear to be trading back up, and stubbornly high unemployment and gas prices are still squeezing its main customers, who are having more trouble stretching their dollars to the next payday. The squeeze hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt its profits. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. posted a 10 percent increase in first-quarter net income Tuesday, but that was driven by cost-cutting and growth overseas. Wal-Mart also offered a muted outlook for the second quarter. Still, its shares rose more than 2 percent, or $1.29, to $53.99 after its results beat Wall Street expectations.

SNL MOVIE FAILURES

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MacGruberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tries to overcome stigma Family of Detroit girl slain in police raid files lawsuits

By JAKE COYLE

AP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday Night Liveâ&#x20AC;? characters journey from sketch to screen, they often appear lost away from their live studio habitat. The first â&#x20AC;&#x153;SNLâ&#x20AC;? movie, 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blues Brothers,â&#x20AC;? was also the best, as anyone who recalls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;two honkies dressed like Hasidic diamond merchantsâ&#x20AC;? can attest. Since then, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World,â&#x20AC;? but most of the adaptations have resulted in films like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coneheadsâ&#x20AC;? (1993) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Patâ&#x20AC;? (1994). Others like Molly Shannonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Superstarâ&#x20AC;? (1999) and Chris Kattan and Will Ferrellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Night at the Roxburyâ&#x20AC;? (1998) have their cult defenders, but the big-screen â&#x20AC;&#x153;SNLâ&#x20AC;? output has been checkered at best. Sometimes, a character hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seemed quite deserving of movie-length attention (see Stuart Smalley, played by Al Franken, in 1995â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stuart Saves His Familyâ&#x20AC;?). Other times, the adaptations have struggled to go beyond the original one-joke premise (see Tim Meadowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2000 film â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Manâ&#x20AC;?). Enter â&#x20AC;&#x153;MacGruber.â&#x20AC;? Little about Will Forteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parody of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s adventure series â&#x20AC;&#x153;MacGyverâ&#x20AC;? would seem befitting bigscreen adaptation. Since

In this film publicity image released by Rogue Pictures/ Universal Pictures, Will Forte, left, and Kristen Wiig are shown in a scene from â&#x20AC;&#x153;MacGruber.â&#x20AC;? the sketches began airing in January 2007, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been remarkably similar: MacGruber gets distracted while assembling household items to try to deactivate a ticking time bomb. He and his assistants explode in a perfectly timed finale. Forte, himself, never thought the sketches had any cinematic viability. Yet when he was approached about making â&#x20AC;&#x153;MacGruberâ&#x20AC;? into a film, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn it down. The resulting movie, which opens Friday, is very much an â&#x20AC;&#x153;SNLâ&#x20AC;? creation: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s produced by Lorne Michaels, directed by â&#x20AC;&#x153;SNLâ&#x20AC;? writer Jorma Taccone, and written by Forte, Taccone and John Solomon, another writer on the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people have already developed opin-

ions one way or another about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SNLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movies,â&#x20AC;? Forte said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope they give it a chance.â&#x20AC;? One thing going for it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;MacGruber,â&#x20AC;? the film, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like a 90minute sketch. Forte and company expanded the story into an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s action film parody. MacGruber never leaves his red Miata without his car stereo, on which he blasts Toto and Mr. Mister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People seem to want to throw this into this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SNLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bag, which is great if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Blues Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but might not be great if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about other movies,â&#x20AC;? says Forte. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We never were looking at this as an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;SNLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; movie, we were just looking at this as a movie.â&#x20AC;? They kept â&#x20AC;&#x153;the charac-

ter and the clothes and the attitude and nothing else,â&#x20AC;? Forte says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a very early point in the writing process, we realized that if we just went for 90 minutes doing the sketch over and over again, people would get sick of it after about 90 seconds,â&#x20AC;? he says. Though Forte, a former writer for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late Show with David Lettermanâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;3rd Rock from the Sun,â&#x20AC;? temporarily succeeded Will Ferrell in playing former President George W. Bush, his contributions since joining the show in 2002 have generally leaned away from the topical and toward the absurd. One of his early characters was Tim Calhoun, an exceedingly soft-spoken and wooden politician. In one memorable sketch, he played the ponytailed lead singer of a morning talk show house band, leading them from soothing sounds to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after downing a bottle of whiskey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a primal jam, screaming, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go Thunderbird Spirit!â&#x20AC;? That odd sense of humor transfers to the R-rated â&#x20AC;&#x153;MacGruber.â&#x20AC;? But the â&#x20AC;&#x153;SNLâ&#x20AC;? process, which goes from a pitch meeting to a table-read to dress rehearsal before airing live, is constantly formed through feedback and audience reception.

DETROIT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The family of a 7-year-old girl slain by a police bullet during a raid on their home filed state and federal lawsuits Tuesday against the department, claiming police knew there were children in the home but conducted the raid with guns drawn anyway. Geoffrey Fieger, the attorney for the family of Aiyana Jones, said Detroit police had no legitimate reason to throw a flash grenade into the home of Aiyana Jones early Sunday. He said police, who were looking for a murder suspect, had the home under surveillance for hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly, they were aware children were living the home,â&#x20AC;? Fieger said at a news conference at his offices in the Detroit suburb of Southfield. He said the other children were ages 3 months, 2 and 4 years. There were childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toys strewn about the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front yard on Monday. Aiyanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin, Mark Robinson, told reporters that he was walking the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dogs when police grabbed him and threw him to the ground.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told them, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;There are children in the house. There are children in the house,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Robinson said. The federal lawsuit claims police violated Aiyana Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; constitutional rights and seeks an unspecified cash award of more than $75,000. A four-count lawsuit filed in state court seeks damages of more than $25,000. The amounts the family is seeking in both lawsuits are likely much higher. Police said officers threw a flash grenade through the first-floor window of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home early Sunday, and that an officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gun discharged, killing the girl, during a confrontation or collision inside the home with her grandmother. They later found the target of the raid, a 34-year-old man, in the apartment upstairs. Fieger said he viewed three or four minutes of video footage of the raid, and that it shows an officer firing into the home from the porch after the flash grenade was tossed through the window. The footage shows a group of black-hooded officers approaching the house before the flash bang was thrown through the window and the shot being fired, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one shot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vividly depicted in the videotape ... right after the throw and the explosion of the bomb. At that point the officers rush into the home,â&#x20AC;? said Fieger, who also represented assisted suicide advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Fieger declined to say what footage he viewed and said he did not retain a copy. But a camera crew for the A&E reality series â&#x20AC;&#x153;The First 48â&#x20AC;? captured footage of the raid, network spokesman Dan Silberman said. The spokesman declined to comment about the case and denied a request by The Associated Press to view the footage. Michigan State Police are investigating the raid. Police Chief Warren Evans was expected to hold a news conference later Tuesday. He cut short a vacation and returned to Detroit on Tuesday.

Powers agree on new Iran sanctions

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The United States won agreement from China, Russia and other major powers on tough new sanctions against Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear program Tuesday, a day after Tehran sought to stave off penalties through a deal to swap nuclear materials. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told a Senate committee that the five veto-wielding members of the U.N. Security Council â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Britain, China, France, Russia and the U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with Germany would present the full council with a draft resolution later Tuesday, capping months of diplomatic maneuvering and painstaking negotiations. Clinton said she spent Tuesday morning on the phone with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov â&#x20AC;&#x153;finalizing the resolution.â&#x20AC;? Details were not immediately released, but the sanctions are expected to broaden economic penalties on Iranian officials and institutions. The agreement appeared to be a significant victory for the Obama administration, which doggedly pursued sanctions since Iran rebuffed U.S. overtures last year. The pursuit was complicated by initial resistance from Russia and China, either of which could have vetoed the deal. But in recent weeks, Russia and China have been persuaded to support increased pressure on Iran. Perhaps more significantly, Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement came just one day after Iran, Brazil and Turkey said they had agreed on a plan for Iran to swap nucle-

Many believed the lastminute agreement would blunt the U.S.-led drive for a fourth round of U.N penalties on Iran. Clinton said the sanctions deal was a rejection of Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to forestall penalties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This announcement is as convincing an answer to the efforts undertaken by Tehran over the last few days as any we could provide,â&#x20AC;? she told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it was any accident that Iran agreed to this declaration as we were preparing to move forward in New York.â&#x20AC;? In Tehran, the Iranian foreign ministry said before Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement it expected the U.S. and its allies to accept a nuclear fuel swap deal despite their initial skepticism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the Western countries continue seeking excuses, it will be clear that they are not after a solution to the issue and have no logical option on the table,â&#x20AC;?

ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said. U.S. and European officials had warned the Brazilian-Turkish-brokered proposal allows Iran to keep enriching uranium, keeping the door open to pursuit of a nuclear weapon. The swap was concluded during a visit to Tehran by Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva who has fought against a new round of sanctions. Both Silva and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was also in Tehran for the announcement, urged the international community to support the deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iran has taken a leap forward,â&#x20AC;? Erdogan told on Tuesday. But in her testimony in Washington, Clinton repeated the U.S. skepticism about the agreement, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are a number of unanswered questions regarding the announcement coming from Tehran.â&#x20AC;? Clinton telephoned other foreign ministers working on the sanc-

tions resolution over the weekend, contending that in the U.S. view the Iran fuel swap proposal did not go far enough, one State Department official said, speaking anonymously because of the sensitivity of the issue. U.N. diplomats said the sanctions would be presented to the entire 15-member Security Council at a 4 p.m. meeting Tuesday. Ahead of that meeting, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Iran has failed to meet its international obligations on its nuclear program and called on Tehran to comply with the International Atomic Energy Agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demands, said U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky. The secretary-general said Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal with Turkey and Brazil â&#x20AC;&#x153;could be a positive step in building confidence about Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear program, if followed by broader engagement with the International Atomic Energy Agency and the international community,â&#x20AC;? Nesirky said.

Deadliest day this year for US in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A suicide bomber detonated his vehicle near a U.S. convoy Tuesday, killing 18 people, including six troops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; five Americans and a Canadian â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the deadliest attack on NATO in the Afghan capital in eight months. Two other American service members were killed in separate attacks in the south, making Tuesday the deadliest day of the year for U.S. forces in Afghanistan. The Canadian, Col. Geoff Parker, 42, was the highest-ranking member of the Canadian Forces to die in Afghanistan since the Canadian mission began in 2002, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military said. Twelve Afghan civilians also died â&#x20AC;&#x201D; many of them on a public bus in rushhour traffic along a major thoroughfare that runs by the ruins of a one-time royal palace and government ministries. At least 47 people were wounded, the Interior Ministry said.

Detained militant in Iraq details World Cup plot BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An alleged al-Qaida militant detained in Iraq said Tuesday he was plotting to attack Danish and Dutch teams at the World Cup in South Africa next month to avenge insults against the Prophet Muhammad. Iraqi security forces holding a Saudi citizen identified as Abdullah Azam Saleh al-Qahtani arranged for The Associated Press to interview him at an unidentified government building in Baghdad. He said he initially came to Iraq in 2004 to fight Americans and was

recruited by al-Qaida. An Iraqi security official with knowledge of the investigation said al-Qahtani was arrested after a joint U.S.Iraqi operation in April that killed the two top al-Qaida in Iraq figures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar alBaghdadi. The official asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to discuss details of the case. Documents found in the house where they were killed, including a note written by al-Qahtani detailing the World Cup plot, led to his arrest on May 3. Iraqi authorities announced the arrest on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We discussed the possibility of taking revenge for the insults of the prophet by attacking Denmark and Holland,â&#x20AC;? al-Qahtani told The AP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal was to attack the Danish and the Dutch teams and their fans,â&#x20AC;? he added.

France frees man who killed Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last premier PARIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The killer of a former Iranian prime minister who opposed the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clerical regime was released from a life sentence and sent home Tuesday in what critics called an apparent trade for a young French academic just freed by Iran. A French government spokesman said he had no knowledge that Ali Vakili Rad was being exchanged for Clotile Reiss, 24, who was arrested in Iran on July 1 during postelection unrest, accused of spying and sentenced to 10 years in prison. She returned to France on Sunday after her sentence was commuted. Minister for European Affairs Pierre Lellouche and Vakili Radâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer both denied there had been a trade.

NCHSAA STATE TOURNAMENT: LEE COUNTY VS. RICHMOND

SINGLER, SMITH NAMED DUKE CAPTAINS DURHAM (AP) — Duke has named seniors Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith as its captains for next season. Coach Mike Krzyzewski on Tuesday called the decision to name them this early “obvious” because “Nolan and Kyle are our leaders.” Singler was the Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four, and averaged nearly 18 points and seven rebounds in leading the Blue Devils to their fourth national championship. Smith averaged 17.4 points and was the most outstanding player in the South Regional after scoring a career-high 29 points in a win over Baylor that sent Duke to its first Final Four since 2004. The Blue Devils are 93-18 since Singler and Smith joined the program in 2007-08, and are 52-8 with both in the starting lineup.

PEDS GALEA CHARGED WITH UNLAWFUL TREATMENT

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — U.S. authorities have charged a Canadian doctor with unlawfully treating professional football players with unapproved drugs, including human growth hormone. Dr. Anthony Galea, of Toronto, is named in a federal criminal complaint filed Tuesday in Buffalo. The complaint charges the doctor with lying to federal officials, smuggling, unlawful distribution of HGH, introducing the unapproved drug actovegin into interstate commerce and conspiracy to defraud the United States. According to court documents, Galea’s clients include at least three National Football League players. One allegedly had two HGH kits delivered to his home while another received actovegin injections.

Frye, Jackets silence Raiders By RYAN SARDA sarda@sanfordherald.com

ROCKINGHAM — This one was for Josh. Playing in their first game since the tragic death of Lee county student Josh Britt, Lee County clipped Richmond County 2-0 in the second round of the

state 4-A playoffs on Tuesday night. Dillon Frye, in his second start in the playoffs, struck out 11 in the complete game three-hit shutout. The Jackets (14-10), who huddled and prayed before and after the game in honor of Britt, will play the winner of Tuesday’s game between Hoke County and Broughton in the third round on Friday night.

After walking Josh Hilton to lead off the bottom of the seventh, Frye fanned the side in order to end the game and the season for the Raiders (18-11). The Jackets scored their first run in the first inning and then struck again in the fifth inning. It was more than enough for Frye.

MLB HAMILTON BACK IN RANGERS’ LINEUP

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Slumping slugger Josh Hamilton is back in the Texas Rangers lineup, batting fifth for the first time this season. Ian Kinsler was in the No. 3 spot again Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels, as he was the night before when manager Ron Washington held Hamilton out of the lineup to give him a break. Hamilton went 1 for 13 with nine strikeouts in a three-game weekend series at Toronto, including seven strikeouts in eight at-bats the last two games. He went into Tuesday night’s game hitting .268 with seven home runs and 23 RBIs.

Wizards win Wall sweepstakes SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) — With a lucky charm from the franchise’s best days, the Washington Wizards won the NBA’s draft lottery Tuesday night. Washington moved up from the No. 5 spot to earn the top pick in next month’s draft, when it will likely choose between Kentucky freshman John Wall and national player of the year Evan Turner of Ohio State. The Wizards were represented by Irene Pollin, who wore the 1978 Bullets championship ring of her late husband, longtime owner Abe Pollin. When the Wizards pulled off the surprising win, Irene Pollin’s jaw dropped and appeared to mouth ’Oh my God!!’ with wide eyes. Abe Pollin died at age 85 in November. “My husband wanted another (championship) so badly,” she said. “He really did. So maybe this will be the beginning of another one.” The lottery victory is one of the rare things that has gone right in a disastrous year for the Wizards, marred by the suspension of Gilbert

Cleveland: Please stay LeBron By THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press Writer

CLEVELAND — They’re saying it on billboards, in song, in letters, in petitions and more. Whatever the format, the message from Clevelanders is the same: Dear LeBron James, please don’t go. Please please please don’t go.

This hard-luck city on the shores of Lake Erie is desperately trying to show its NBA superstar that, with free agency looming July 1, the best spot for him is right up the road from his hometown of Akron, Ohio, the place where he’s played for seven seasons as a Cleveland Cavalier and won two MVP awards.

And in the wake of a baffling early exit from the playoffs — a six-game series loss to the Boston Celtics — the grass roots campaign has taken on not just a new urgency but the sense of a last chance. Without James, after all, the chances of Cleveland breaking its 46-year

Alabama panel denies Knox’s appeal TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — A University of Alabama panel has denied basketball player Justin Knox’s appeal of restrictions placed on his transfer options, but he could still land at a highprofile destination. Athletic department spokesman Doug Walker confirmed Tuesday that the university committee decided Monday not to free the junior forward to transfer to UAB, another Southeastern Conference

school or a school that’s on the Crimson Tide’s schedule for next season. “I think he was leaning toward UAB, because (Blazers coach) Mike Davis recruited him out of high school and knows his game,” Knox’s uncle, Darien Knox, told The Birmingham News in a story Tuesday. “It would’ve been a good fit.” The university placed those restrictions on Knox when he decided to play his final season else-

where. He’s not allowed to transfer to a school within the University of Alabama System, meaning UAB or Division II Alabama-Huntsville. The 6-foot-9, 245pounder can play immediately after he graduates this summer and enrolls in graduate school. He would have to sit out a year if he transferred to UAB or one of the other schools on the restricted list. Knox and his uncle

New markets, new TV money driving Big Ten talks

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If the Big Ten decides to expand, commissioner Jim Delany said the league hopes to get some southern exposure. A few more eyes on the TV would be nice, too. Delany said gaining a foothold in the South and extending the reach of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lucrative television network are the two biggest factors as it decides whether to grow. He also said the Big Ten is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;looking to achieve a championship gameâ&#x20AC;? in football even though it could mean millions more for a conference that already pays each member about $22 million. A title game like those held in the Big 12 and Southeastern Conference would also shorten the lengthy bowl-game layoff for some teams, which has been a point of contention for at least a few of the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the motivation,â&#x20AC;? Delany said Tuesday at league meetings in Chicago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it was, we could have done that many times over the past 20 years.â&#x20AC;? The conference grabbed the attention of everyone in college sports when it announced that it was considering whether to add to its current 11 members, a move that could lead to a domino effect in other leagues. Delany said the Big Ten is basically sticking with the timeframe he laid out in December, when he said the league would explore its options over the next 12 to 18 months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could it be 19? I hope not,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could it be 11? It may.â&#x20AC;? But Delany insisted this is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not as much about conferences as it is about institutions finding the right fit for themselves.â&#x20AC;? He said the league wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expand â&#x20AC;&#x153;unless it was fiscally sound, unless thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great academic fit and unless thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a competitive fit.â&#x20AC;? He would not identify any front-runners or say how many teams the conference would add if it expanded. He did say there would be no vote when school presidents meet June 6, though the issue will be discussed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exploring, trying to do it the right way,â&#x20AC;? Delany said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll either decide to act or not decide to act. The only thing I can tell you is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re months away from that decision.â&#x20AC;? Delany said the league would have been looking at expansion even without the Big Ten Network, although it is a major element in the decision. Demographics, however, will play a bigger role. Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Rutgers have been reported as possible targets, along with Texas, Syracuse, Connecticut, Pittsburgh and Maryland. The only Southern school in that group is Texas, although the others would bring strong traditions, rabid alumni, exposure to large TV markets or combinations of all three.

Mayfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suit vs. NASCAR dismissed by judge

Cardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dockett apologizes for shower video

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A U.S. District Judge has dismissed suspended driver Jeremy Mayfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawsuit against NASCAR. Mayfield was suspended indefinitely last year for failing a random drug test. NASCAR has said he tested positive for methamphetamines. Mayfield sued in an attempt to be reinstated. Judge Graham Mullen threw out the case Tuesday in Charlotte, saying that Mayfield had waived his right to pursue claims as part of becoming a NASCAR driver.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett has apologized for posting an online streaming video of him taking a shower. Dockett, a second-team AllPro selection and Pro Bowl starter last season, took a shower live on the Ustream site to win a $1,000 bet. He said after the Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; voluntary workout on Tuesday that at first he thought it was a joke but added â&#x20AC;&#x153;obviously itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not.â&#x20AC;? He said he put his team in the news for â&#x20AC;&#x153;things that are not appropriate.â&#x20AC;? The 6-foot-4, 285-pound lineman says no one will ever see him in such a situation again, unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video of, as he put it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;me trying to take somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head offâ&#x20AC;? in a game.

Florida Marlinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Brian Barden hits an RBI single during the sixth inning of a baseball game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday in Miami.

Filling in for Ramirez, Barden sparks Marlins MIAMI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brian Barden drove in two runs while replacing benched star Hanley Ramirez, helping ace Josh Johnson and the Florida Marlins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-0 Tuesday. Ramirez, a two-time All-Star shortstop and the reigning NL batting champion, sat a day after being pulled by manager Fredi Gonzalez for failing to hustle. Ramirez, who said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t loafing, sniped at his manager and teammates in pregame remarks. Minus their highest-paid player, the Marlins did fine for a day. Johnson (4-1) pitched two-hit ball for seven innings, Cameron Maybin and Dan Uggla had back-toback home runs and Barden neatly filled in. Johnson improved to 3-1 with a 1.00 ERA lifetime against Arizona. He struck out nine and walked two. Reds 5, Brewers 4 CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Scott Rolen hit a tying, two-run homer in the ninth inning off fading closer Trevor Hoffman and Joey Votto delivered an RBI single off the wall, rallying the Cincinnati Reds over the Milwaukee Brewers. The first-place Reds pulled off their 10th win in their final at-bat, this one against a closer who has lost his touch. Milwaukee lost its eighth in a row, its worst slump since 2006. Hoffman (1-3) came on

with a 4-2 lead and failed to retire any of the five batters he faced, walking off the field with a blank expression after Vottoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single. Hoffman has converted only five of 10 save chances. He is the career saves leader with 596. He has given up 19 earned runs and 21 hits in only 13 innings this year. Winner Carlos Fisher (1-1) gave up a run in the eighth on a wild pitch. Rays 6, Indians 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Evan Longoria drove in three runs and David Price pitched six strong innings to become the ALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first sixgame winner as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Cleveland Indians 6-2. The AL East leaders improved baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top record to 28-11 heading into a two-game series at Yankee Stadium. New York began the day with the second-best mark in the majors. Longoria, who has 21 RBIs in his past 19 games, had a run-scoring double off David Huff (1-6) in the third and a two-run triple off Hector Ambriz that was the biggest blow in a four-run sixth. Blue Jays 11, Twins 2 TORONTO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Edwin Encarnacion came off the disabled list and hit one of Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four home runs, and the Blue Jays backed Shaun Marcum in a romp over the Minnesota Twins.

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Chicago Cubs are reversing the move that put Carlos Zambrano in the bullpen. Cubs manager Lou Piniella says Zambrano will return to the rotation. Zambranoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shift to the bullpen earlier this season didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighthinning relief woes or improve his own performance. Piniella said before Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game that Zambrano would start again.

Dodgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ethier goes on DL LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Los Angeles Dodgers put star right fielder Andre Ethier on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday because of a broken right pinkie. The Dodgers made the move before their game against Houston, which happened to be Andre Either Bobblehead Night. Either is leading the majors with a .392 batting average and is tops with 38 RBIs. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also tied for the NL lead with 11 home runs.

Life without Ben: Steelers search for temporary QB

PITTSBURGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; These might be the most-scrutinized May practices in Pittsburgh Steelers history. The team resumed its voluntary offseason workouts on Tuesday without suspended quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He remains banned from attending, and there is no indication when the NFL will allow him to participate. For now, Roethlisberger can only join his teammates on the golf course and played a charity event with them on Monday. The Steelers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t certain if the league will allow Roethlisberger to attend any of the remaining 11 spring practices, which run each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday through June 10.

ON THE FRINGE

The standard for measuring young stars By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Adam Scott again is part of the conversation when it comes to great young players, although that probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last much longer. He turns 30 in two months. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make him old, nor does it make him irrelevant. If anything, it should make all those kids behind him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there are more of them every year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; take stock of what the Scott has done before turning 30, and realize that great play is measured by more than one year, much less one tournament. Neither should great play be measured against Tiger Woods, who set the bar unreasonably high. Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 36-hole sprint in San Antonio on Sunday was his 17th victory worldwide, with seven of those on the PGA Tour (that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include a

We definitely want to put that on his conscience,â&#x20AC;? said 23-year-old Austin Briggs, of Cleveland Heights, co-founder of the Web site pleasedontleave23.com. Want to join the band wagon? You can sign a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay LeBronâ&#x20AC;? petition right on the hood of Briggâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s souped-up 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, dubbed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Witness Mobile.â&#x20AC;? Even before the playoffs, fans had helped fund a banner near the home of the Cavs, showing James through his life with the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Born Here. Raised Here. Plays Here. Stays Here.â&#x20AC;? But if Clevelanders think showing a little civic pride will be enough to romance LeBron, they better think again. Other cities are trying to woo him, too. In New York City, The Daily News has launched www.getlebron.com and even Mayor Michael Bloomberg has made a case for James to move â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the Knicks or the Nets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love living in New York, my kids love living in New York,â&#x20AC;? Bloomberg said last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think LeBron James would love living

Howard. Asked before the lottery about potentially changing the system to keep teams from losing on purpose to improve their probability of winning, commissioner David Stern said he thinks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the results of the lottery, if anything, are causing teams with the worst record to feel as though a paucity of wins is not being adequately recognized and compensated.â&#x20AC;?

Represented by new owner Mikhail Prokhorov, the Nets had a 25 percent chance of winning after going 12-70. Instead, the team with the worst record still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won since 2004, when the Orlando Magic selected Dwight

Bulls fans, meanwhile, have www.sendlebrontochicago.com while long-suffering Los Angeles Clipper fans are planning a parade aimed at showing the MVP some love. So far, James hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tipped his hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about winning for me and I think the Cavs are committed to doing that, but at the same time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given myself options to this point,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Cavaliers can offer him around $30 million more than any team, but several other clubs can make pitches beginning July 1.

pulled himself out of it on his own, however, winning the Australian Open and Texas Open over the last six months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely questioned myself at times last year whether I was a great player or not, and I still feel I am,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to maintain that for 20 years. I did a good job of it for a long time. I mean, everyone has fairly short memories in this game. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be out there all the time to be talked about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can keep going with this form and they can talk about me as one of the great players in the game.â&#x20AC;? Scott still has much to achieve before that, although he is off to a good start. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still not as good as Sergio Garcia, who left his 20s in January and is trying to find his game. Garcia and Scott have set a standard that young players like Rory McIlroy, Ryo Ishikawa, Anthony

The Cleveland campaign to keep James comes with the backdrop of a shrinking city that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a major sports championship since the NFL Browns in 1964. A witness to the title drought, 74-year-old Ruth Wine, part of the 212member LeBron James Grandmothers Fan Club, wrote to him after Thursday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deciding playoff loss to make a pitch for his hometown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That little town truly and deeply loves you, win or lose, for the fine person you are and the kindness you have shown to Akron,â&#x20AC;? wrote Wine, who herself is from Akron.

Kim, Dustin Johnson, Martin Kaymer, Charl Schwartzel and perhaps even Rickie Fowler should try to match. Garcia has won 19 times around the world and reached No. 2 in the world ranking only 14 months ago. He starred on the first of five Ryder Cup teams when he was 19, the same year he made Woods sweat down the stretch in the PGA Championship at Medinah. And while he also lacks confirmation that only a major can bring, Garcia at least has been a runner-up three times and has nine finishes in the top five. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt I could have done better,â&#x20AC;? Garcia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that it is a pretty good career.â&#x20AC;? Garcia and Scott donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough credit in small part because they have yet to win a major. And in large part because of Woods. Even as Garcia was

found a replacement for him at point guard in Wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just going to come in and work hard ... just try to win games for the organization this year,â&#x20AC;? Wall said. But the Wizards will have to do better than they did last time they had the No. 1 pick. That was in 2001, when Hall of Famer and former Washington executive Michael Jordan selected Kwame Brown, considered one of the biggest busts ever at No. 1. The losers this time were

steadily improving and usually producing, his feats were dwarfed by a player from his own generation. Woods continues to chase the 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus and the 82 PGA Tour victories of Sam Snead. Even more out of reach are the records that Woods established before turning 30. He won 56 times on the PGA Tour (64 titles worldwide), 10 major championship and the career Grand Slam â&#x20AC;&#x201D; twice. He was No. 1 in the world for all but 101 weeks from when he turned pro until he celebrated his 30th birthday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what you do,â&#x20AC;? Garcia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody is going to be compared with Tiger because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best. People look at Tiger, and he makes it look â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at times â&#x20AC;&#x201D; easy. So everybody thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not unhappy with what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done throughout these 11 years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of realizing that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compare with him.â&#x20AC;?

the Minnesota Timberwolves, who fell from second to fourth. Sacramento (No. 5) and Golden State (No. 6) also tumbled â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the second straight year the Kings went the wrong way in the lottery. The Kings went from first to fourth last year, but did end up with Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who represented them Tuesday. So maybe the Nets shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose hope. The NBA draft is June 24 in New York.

BRIDGE HAND

Affair with stripper exposed by paper trail from jewelry DEAR ABBY: My husband had an affair with a stripper. I found out about it because he bought her some jewelry and was stupid enough to have the bill sent to our home. We have been married more than 20 years and I love him, but this haunts me every day. I am heartbroken, but I’m trying to make our marriage work. He never admitted to any of it and says nothing happened between them. I don’t know whether to keep on trying or leave him and hope to get on with my life. What’s your advice? — WOUNDED HEART IN OKLAHOMA

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: Remove yourself from any emotional situation you face this year before making a decision or taking action. It’s in your best interest to view what’s going on around you with discernment, especially when it comes to home, family or your community. Know what you want and work slowly toward your goals. Being productive will win in the end. Your numbers are 7, 12, 20, 28, 35, 37, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Try new activities and hobbies and attend events that will introduce you to new people. You will discover a hidden skill or talent. The chance to make extra cash is apparent. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Problems at home or dealing with personal issues could end in an argument if you aren’t diplomatic. A mistake that disrupts your home and family will be costly. Deal with it quickly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Added responsibilities may get you down but, in the long run, taking on a little more will bring you more. Use your energy wisely to accommodate what is asked of you. Love is apparent but can also cost you emotionally. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You need a change. Look at your options and what’s available professionally. Someone you meet will have something to offer that will come in handy. You can surprise people and move ahead with your plans. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t miss out because of an emotional tie to someone who is jealous or threatened by your interests. Stop second-guessing your next move. Look out for yourself and don’t worry about what everyone else is doing. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep your plans a secret. You should catch everyone off guard in order to make the biggest

WORD JUMBLE

impact. Travel, learning and altering your philosophy or lifestyle will help you open doors, bringing you greater freedom. Don’t leave anything to chance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Focus on others. Trying to deal with personal issues will only cause more problems. You can make some changes to your home that will provide you with more comfort. It’s time to meet new people and visit new places. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone may try to set you up for a fall. An emotional matter is likely to cause upset at home. Make sure everyone is being honest about how they feel, including you. Finish what you start and no one will be able to complain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your past achievements will help you grab the attention of someone who can help. You must not take on responsibilities that will cut into your time or stand in the way of your own success. Love is on the rise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Don’t leave anything undone if you want to control matters. There is money to be made if you are strict about how you handle your cash. Changes at home will add to your assets. Love is on the rise and a romantic evening should be your intent. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take a long hard look at what’s behind you and what’s ahead. You may have to make some tough choices. Love is apparent -- if you are single, get out and socialize. Or, make plans with that special someone in your life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t make promises you cannot keep. A change in your living arrangements may take you by surprise but, in the end, will be better for you. Reconnecting with someone from your past may be difficult but will be worth your while.

DEAR WOUNDED HEART: You have my sympathy, but one person can’t save a marriage alone. It takes effort on the part of both husband and wife, plus honest communication and often professional counseling to heal a relationship when there has been infidelity. Your husband may say “nothing” happened with the stripper, but the only man I can think of who bought jewelry for a woman he wasn’t related to or romantically involved with was Michael Jackson when he gave some to Elizabeth Taylor. Even though you love your husband, it’s time to start taking care of yourself. And the place to start is by insisting on professional counseling. If he won’t go, go without him.

Abigail Van Buren Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

o DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have a 24-year-old developmentally disabled son who lives with us. Three months ago, he met a nice girl at the mental health program he attends. They hold hands, go to the movies and occasionally smooch. Recently, “Jasper” had a mark on his neck. We were over at a friend’s house for dinner when my best friend noticed the mark. She then proceeded to tell me I should consider getting Jasper “fixed.” At first, I wasn’t sure I’d heard her correctly, so I asked her to repeat it. I am shocked that she thinks I should have my son sterilized. Jasper is diagnosed with ADD and Asperger’s syndrome. According to his mental health counselor, he could someday be married, have children and lead a productive, independent life. It just may

take him longer to get to that point in comparison with his peers. How should I respond to my friend about her suggestion?

But first, if you haven’t already, make sure Jasper clearly understands everything he needs to know to protect himself and his nice girlfriend from premature parenthood. o DEAR ABBY: Please answer a question for me. Why do we fall in love with people who we absolutely, positively cannot have? — HEARTBROKEN IN INDIANAPOLIS DEAR HEARTBROKEN: You have asked a question for which there is more than one answer. Some people do it because they don’t recognize the warning signs quickly enough to back off before becoming enmeshed. Others can’t resist a challenge. And still others do it because — believe it or not — it’s less threatening than falling in love with someone we absolutely, positively CAN have.

ODDS AND ENDS Man accused of duping Harvard pleads not guilty BOSTON (AP) — On paper, Adam Wheeler had undeniably strong credentials to get into Harvard: a perfect SAT score, straight A’s at a prestigious prep school and glowing recommendations from four professors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While at Harvard, Wheeler seemed a shoo-in for a Rhodes or Fulbright scholarship. His applications included his Harvard transcript, which also featured all A’s, as well as a list of books he had co-written, courses he had taught and lectures he had given. But authorities say it was all a big con. In fact, Wheeler had never attended the exclusive Phillips Academy prep school in Andover or MIT. And his academic record at Harvard was far less dazzling than he claimed. Instead of straight A’s, Wheeler had received some A’s, a few B’s and a D. His SAT scores were also much less impressive: 1160 and 1220, not the perfect 1600 he had claimed, according to court documents. Wheeler, 23, of Milton, Del., was ordered held on $5,000 bail Tuesday after pleading not guilty to 20 counts of larceny, identity fraud and other charges. If he posts bail, he must stay away from Harvard and the other academic institutions involved in his alleged scheme, surrender his passport and remain in Massachusetts, a Middlesex Superior Court judge said. Wheeler was tossed from Harvard last fall after he tried to get the school’s endorsement for Rhodes and Fulbright scholarships, and a professor reviewing his applications found evidence he had plagiarized from another professor, prosecutors say. Wheeler’s parents gave him up to a Yale official who called to ask about their son’s transfer application. Prosecutor John Verner said in court Tuesday that Wheeler essentially stole $45,000 in

Neb. GOP sheriff’s race decided by playing cards BRIDGEPORT, Neb. (AP) — A deck of cards and a bit of luck helped decide who will likely be the next sheriff of Morrill County. The nine of hearts Milo Cardenas drew Monday beat Travis Petersen’s six of spades, giving Cardenas the Republican nomination for sheriff. Since no Democrats ran for sheriff, Cardenas, the police chief in Bridgeport, is likely to win in November’s election. “I knew it was going to be close, but I didn’t expect to be this close,” Cardenas said. The two men agreed to cut a deck of cards after Monday’s re-count confirmed that both finished at the top of a four-man race with 379 votes after balloting ended last Tuesday. State law requires tied elections to be settled by a game of chance. Cardenas said deciding the race with a card game seemed a little crazy but also seemed like the best option. “I felt more comfortable with the deck of cards. That way you pick your own destiny,” Cardenas said. Brandt shuffled the cards seven times and spread them out on a table before the candidates drew cards simultaneously. “People wanted to revote and do a lot of things, but unfortunately, Nebraska law is very clear,” Morrill County Clerk Kathy Brandt said. Brandt said none of the candidates who lost in the primary are allowed to run in the general election.

God’s truth is real and will endure Q: Over the centuries, we’ve changed our ideas about every other area of knowledge, so why shouldn’t we change our ideas about God? Why should I believe in a religion that’s almost 2,000 years old? -- D.R. A: If God was hidden from us and we could only discover little-by-little what He was like, then you might be right. But God isn’t like that. H has already revealed Himself to us -- totally and completely. Let me explain. Have you ever asked yourself how we can know anything at all about God? The answer is clear: We can only know about God if He has revealed something about Himself to us. And He has done this -- deliberately and openly. God hasn’t hidden Himself from us; He wants us to know Him! How has He done this? One way is through the universe He created. The world is God’s handiwork; it didn’t just happen -- He made it. And just as an artist reveals something of himself through his paintings, so God has revealed something of Himself through His creation. The Bible puts it this way: “Since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities -- his eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made” (Romans 1:20). But God has revealed Himself finally and completely in a way that staggers our imagination: He became a man! That man was Jesus Christ, who was God in human form. Do you want to know what God is like? Look at Christ -- and when you do, you’ll see not only that God is real, but He loves you and wants to come into your life to save you.

New Panera Bread location says pay what you want By CHRISTOPHER LEONARD AP Business Writer

CLAYTON, Mo. — Panera Bread Co. is asking customers at a new restaurant to pay what they want. The national bakery and restaurant chain launched a new nonprofit store here this week that has the same menu as its other 1,400 locations. But the prices are a little different — there aren’t any. Customers are told to donate what they want for a meal, whether it’s the full suggested price, a penny or $100. The new store in the upscale St. Louis suburb of Clayton is the first of what will Panera hopes will be many around the country. Ronald Shaich, Panera’s CEO until last week, was on hand at the new bakery Monday to explain the system to customers. The pilot restaurant is run by a nonprofit foundation. If it can sustain itself financially, Panera will expand the model around the country within months. It all depends on whether customers will abide by the motto that hangs above the deli counter: “Take what you need, leave your fair share.” Panera hopes to open a similar location in ev-

ery community where it operates. Other nonprofits have opened community kitchens, where customers set the price, and the idea has spread among food enthusiasts and philanthropists. But Panera brings new scale to the idea — its community restaurants will use the company’s distribution system and have access to its national food suppliers. The first location bears the name St. Louis Bread Co. Cares — the chain’s former name and one it still uses in its hometown. Customers seemed alternately puzzled and pleased by the concept. Dawn Frierdich, 52, came in to buy three loaves of bread an iced tea. She asked how much the drink would cost. “About $1.85,” said the 21-year-old cashier, Michael Miller. And the whole order? “It would be, like, $12,” Miller told her, reminding her she didn’t have to pay if she didn’t want to. Frierdich tried to hand him $12 in cash, but he directed her to put it in the donation jar. “This is a little hard. I just can’t wrap my head around this,” Frierdich said. A young man spoke on his cell phone nearby. “Seriously,” he said. “They don’t charge tax or

anything.” The clientele at the Clayton location is a mix of well-to-do attorneys and bankers from Clayton, as well as lower-income customers who work nearby or are visiting the sprawling St. Louis County offices and courthouse nearby. Miller, the cashier, said most customers paid full price for their meals Monday, but some took a discount of a few dollars, or paid half-price. Panera is using its nonprofit foundation to support the restaurant and any future locations. The foundation will pay the new restaurant’s bills, including staff salaries, rent and food costs. At the end of each month, the foundation will tally donations to see if they cover food costs. The Panera parent company won’t bear losses if the experiment fails. Saich was CEO of Panera until he stepped down Thursday, taking the post of executive chairman. He will run the nonprofit along with other projects for Panera. Other similar experiements have worked. The One World Salt Lake City restaurant has operated as a nonprofit with pay-what-you-want prices since 2003, said founder Denise Cerreta.

Heart group backs video games in obesity campaign By JOEL SCHECTMAN AP Business Writer

Heart group backs video games

NEW YORK — Talk about strange bedfellows. The American Heart Association and Nintendo Co. are teaming up to promote the popular Wii video game console, as the health advocacy group concedes that its campaign for traditional exercise isn’t working. The surprising partnership, announced Monday, comes amid growing concern about obesity among kids who spend much of their time watching television and playing video games. Nintendo will be able to brand its Wii products with the AHA’s iconic heart logo to let consumers know that the organization considers the items a healthy choice. Nintendo will donate $1.5 million to the AHA as part of the partnership. “We can keep beating the drum on traditional exercise and make small changes to the obesity epidemic, or we can try something that is really provocative and new,” Clyde Yancy, the AHA’s president, said in an interview. Numerous studies show a correlation between obesity and the amount of time children spend with television and video games. Jeffrey Levi, executive director of Trust for America’s Health, said the best solution is simply to cut the cord and encourage youths to spend less time in front of screens. But the AHA said it is endorsing the Wii because it will encourage

THE PARTNERSHIP: The American Heart Association and Nintendo Co. have forged an unlikely alliance. The health advocacy group is endorsing Nintendo’s popular Wii products. CONCESSION: The AHA would like to see more traditional exercise but concedes its campaign to promote it hasn’t been working. BETTER THAN NOTHING: The group believes the Wii will encourage sedentary Americans to take the first step toward fitness. By The Associated Press

sedentary Americans to take the first step toward fitness. With 70 percent of Americans doing no regular physical activity at all, the AHA wants to find a way to reach out to people turned off by gyms and traditional sports. The organization said its studies show that 40 percent of those who don’t exercise say that it’s not entertaining enough. The AHA says the Wii addresses the fun factor. The Wii, which has sold more than 30 million consoles across the Americas, comes with a controller that encourages people to physically move as they play. Sports-style games such as baseball and boxing let players move their arms to simulate the pitching of a ball or the throwing of a punch. Nintendo also makes a foot pad accessory, the Wii Fit, that allows players to try dance steps or yoga. The heart icon covers the Wii console itself along with two of its more active games, Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports Resort. Many of the Wii games are less physically demanding. Some puzzle titles, for instance, let players adjust shapes

through small twists of the wrist. Wii players say that the level of physical exertion varies greatly by player. Maria Lambiris, an 18-year-old illustrations student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, said the game system recently helped her lose five pounds. “You really get into it sometimes and you can use your whole body,” Lambiris said. But her classmate Maki Yang, 19, was quick to point out that sometimes it’s easier and more fun to cheat. “You can just do this with your wrist,” Yang said while flicking her wrist slightly, “and you do even better in the game.” But while many of the games may not offer the same level of physical activity as traditional sports, they may help get some people started on a healthier lifestyle. “It is a first step for someone who is entirely sedentary,” Yancy said. Yancy said that once that person becomes motivated, he or she can access a website Nintendo and the AHA are developing to help monitor exercise and diet plans.

LIP DISSERVICE Parents of children who bite their lips should be aware that this habit has as much potential to push teeth out of their proper positions as thumb- and finger-sucking. When the lower lip is persistently bitten or sucked, it may cause the upper front teeth to jut out over the lowers. Conversely, biting or sucking the top lip can cause the top front teeth to be pushed in. In either case, orthodontic treatment may be necessary to coax teeth back to their proper positions. The best approach is preventing the habit before it causes damage. Parents who notice their children engaging in any lip-biting habit after their permanent teeth begin to come in should see the orthodontist for an evaluation. In addition to its many health benefits, orthodontic treatment produces benefits such as increased self-esteem, social and career success, and a better outlook on life. At SANDHILLS ORTHODONTICS, we utilize the latest technological advances in the industry, such as invisible ceramic braces and Invisalign®, to ensure that our patients receive the most effective care possible. We invite you to contact us today at (919) 718-9188 to make an appointment for a free consultation. Our office is located at 1129 Carthage St. Committed to helping you achieve the smile you deserve – a healthy, beautiful one! P.S. The tipoff that a child is engaged in a lip-biting/sucking habit is a red ring around the mouth. The bitten lip will also likely be swollen.

Parents of tween Gleeks keep hands on pause button By JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK,â&#x20AC;? went the e-mail that circulated among parents recently at a New York City elementary school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is â&#x20AC;&#x2122;everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the fifth grade REALLY watching â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Gleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;?â&#x20AC;? A discussion ensued: To Glee or not to Glee? At issue wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the quality of the hugely popular Fox series about a high school glee club, which in just its first season has won a Golden Globe, seen its cast perform at the White House, launched a national concert tour, and is, to hear many tell it, approaching the status of a mini-pop culture phenomenon. The question, rather: Is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gleeâ&#x20AC;? just too racy for the tweens who love it? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dilemma, and not just because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to fight with oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offspring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glee,â&#x20AC;? which kids love for its infectious musical numbers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a few critics call them overproduced or sloppily lip-synched, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not be grumpy about it, because â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gleeâ&#x20AC;? is the very antithesis of grump â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has an upbeat, inclusive message that recalls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;High School Musicalâ&#x20AC;? films.

For where those rosy-cheeked Disney Channel films barely contained a kiss on the lips, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gleeâ&#x20AC;? has sex. And teen pregnancy. It tackles issues of homosexuality and losing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virginity, and one scene showed a character, well, ejaculating in a hot tub.

Falchuk says he came into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gleeâ&#x20AC;? wanting to create something that his sister-in-law in Syracuse, N.Y., could watch with her 14-year-old daughter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;and not feel uncool.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe draws in art lovers

GHOST RANCH, N.M. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sandstone cliffs rise from the desert floor in layers of orange, pink and yellow, limited only by the expansive blue sky that pushes down on the sprawling northern New Mexico ranch from above. Save for a few birds chirping and a breeze whistling through cedar trees, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quiet here. This is Georgia Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe Country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; remote, solitary and breathtaking. It was Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe, the American modernist painter, who found a way to transport the light, colors and shapes of the cliffs and clay hills around Ghost Ranch and nearby Abiquiu to canvas for the rest of the world to see. Thousands of people flock to Santa Fe every year to visit the Georgia Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe Museum, where an exhibition of her work called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Georgia Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe: Abstractionâ&#x20AC;? opens May 28. But those who want to see the actual landscapes that inspired Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work can make the pilgrimage here, to Ghost Ranch. Ghost Ranch is in the heart of Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe Country, up the Chama River Valley, passing Espanola and several small communities along a sleepy two-lane highway. The late artist called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best place in the world.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get a lot of people who are really intrigued by her. They want to understand what really motivated her so they come here to see all of this,â&#x20AC;? said Ghost Ranch tour guide Karen Butts. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe spent hours â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes days â&#x20AC;&#x201D; exploring this land by foot and automobile, looking for her next subject: red and purple hills, white and yellow cliffs, and the cedars that dot many of her landscapes. Even the ladder Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe used to climb to her roof for a better van-

As Butts led a group of visitors on a recent day, she stopped to point out certain vistas, like Cerro Pedernal, a blue silhouetted hill on the southern horizon that Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe painted and sketched dozens of times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She loved this part of the ranch.

Koloseike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun to finally see it and stand where she stood.â&#x20AC;? Northern New Mexico first captured the painterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention nearly a century

ago. Far from the galleries frequented by New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social elite and its art critics, the area so inspired her that she gave up New York and made New Mexico her permanent home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I think of death I only regret that I will not be able to see this beautiful country anymore, unless the Indians are right and my spirit will walk here after Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gone,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe said in a 1967 interview. She died in 1986 at age 98. Her ashes were scattered from atop Pedernal. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe owned only a small parcel of land at Ghost Ranch but she considered the colored cliffs her backyard and the valley and Pedernal her front yard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most fascinating thing for people is to realize that she was painting what she saw, especially in New Mexico. Those pictures, those colors are real and she really captured the area,â&#x20AC;? said Barbara Buhler Lynes, a leading Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe scholar and curator of the Georgia Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. The ranch began offer-

ing tours a few years ago using a catalog created to accompany â&#x20AC;&#x153;Georgia Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffe and New Mexico: A Sense of Place,â&#x20AC;? a museum exhibition organized by Lynes that highlighted many of the paintings the artist made at Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, Alcalde, the Taos area and along the Chama River. Lynes pinpointed more than 60 sites in New Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high desert that inspired Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscape paintings. Outside of Abiquiu on the south side of the road, travelers can see the hills that inspired â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Mexico Landscape,â&#x20AC;? painted in 1930. Up the road is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chama River, Ghost Ranch,â&#x20AC;? painted around 1935. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;From The White Place,â&#x20AC;? a 1940 painting of natural formations near Abiquiu. At Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keeffeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Abiquiu home, situated on a hill overlooking the valley, visitors can step into her spacious studio, take in the incredible view she had from her bedroom windows and see the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rock collections scattered around the property.

World Cup stadium owning tribe offers homestays

JetBlue to launch Boston-Phoenix nonstop service

JOHANNESBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cynthia and Philomen Rakgoale hope to teach World Cup visitors a little bit about the Tswana language, starting with â&#x20AC;&#x153;dumelaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so much more welcoming than a simple â&#x20AC;&#x153;hello.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greetings are very important in South Africa,â&#x20AC;? said Cynthia Rakgoale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in our culture. We smile at people. Even if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know you, we talk to you.â&#x20AC;? The Rakgoales are part of a network of hosts who will be welcoming tourists into their homes in a program organized by the Bafokeng tribe, which owns a stadium in the World Cup host city Rustenberg. The Bafokeng homestay program is just one of a number of unusual attractions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from jumping off Table Mountain to historic sites in Soweto â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that World Cup visitors might consider adding to their itineraries. Those who take part in a Bafokeng homestay will learn a little about the history of the tribe. In the late 19th century, the Bafokeng king, Kgosi Mokgatle Mokgatle, sent his men to the nearby Kimberly diamond mines to earn cash to secure title to traditional Bafokeng land. The kgosiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foresight helped the Bafokeng maintain a sense of identity and a measure of independence during the apartheid years. The title to the land was held in trust by sympathetic German missionaries at a time when blacks were not allowed to own land. An old mission church stands near the Rakgoalesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home in Phokeng, the main Bafokeng village, which is a short drive from the Rustenberg stadium.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; JetBlue will offer nonstop service from Boston to Phoenix beginning in September, the airline said Tuesday. JetBlue, based in New York, has been ramping up service at Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Logan International Airport as it attempts to become more entrenched in the Northeast. JetBlue Airways Corp. is offering introductory fares starting at $99 one-way for travel on the new nonstop route.

Yellowstoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dunraven Pass opens Friday YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dunraven Pass in Yellowstone National Park is scheduled to open for the season on Friday. The pass is on the road that connects Tower/Rossevelt and Canyon. At nearly 8,900 feet, it is the highest elevation roadway in Yellowstone. Once the pass opens, all park entrances and interior roads will be open for the season. Park officials warn that visitors should still be prepared for winter and spring weather conditions and say that snow tires may still be required on some roadways.

NM Hispanic art museum temporarily closes ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The art museum at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque is closing for a month. The 11,000-square-foot art museum will be shut down from Monday through June 17 for a thorough cleaning of exhibition space and art work due to a fire in the adjacent forested area along the Rio Grande in central New Mexico in April. Cultural center officials say the museum and art work were not damaged but the center is being cleaned to remove any smoke residue. The National Hispanic Cultural Center is part of the state Department of Cultural Affairs.

Milwaukee museum features quilt exhibition MILWAUKEE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A new exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Museum will feature one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest collections of early American quilts. Featuring rare textiles of the late 1700s and early 1800s, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Quilts: Selections from the Winterthur Collectionâ&#x20AC;? and it runs Saturday through September 6. Quilts make political statements, celebrate marriages, and document the textile trade. Many of the 40 quilts were collected Henry Francis du Pont, one of the 20th centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most avid antique collectors and horticulturists. They were featured in the Winterthur Museum & Country Estate in Delaware. The museum will also present the quilt designed in 1987 by AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin honoring Milwaukee residents who died from AIDS. The NAMES Project Foundation AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on view June 8 through June 20.

What to do with fresh vegetables

AP Food Editor

Just how maxed out can we take that simple icon of summer food — the hot dog — while still keeping it not just edible, but totally appealing? Turns out, pretty well maxed. It all starts with the bun, and I went with a basic buttertoasted split-top roll. It’s a New England thing and it just works. Next, the cushion — the layer that goes between the bun and the dog. Sauerkraut is so been-there-done-that. I wanted something that would stand out on its own, but also work with the meaty saltiness of the hot dog without masking it. An uber-rich mac and

s I wrote my column last week about not being a huge fruit fan, I realized that I am pretty lazy. Most of the reasons I gave for not liking fruits were not at all because of the taste, but because of the work that went into eating them. Which is why I love vegetables. They are not only tasty and healthy, but so easy to prepare. Last summer when I still wrote on my blog every now and then, I posted an entry INSIDE about my See our favorite weekly Dining ways to Guide for cook my local menu favorite options vegetables. Pages 4-5C As the fresh veggie time of year has fallen upon us, I revisited this entry over the weekend. While some of my preparations have remained the same, I’ve added and edited some over the past year. n Asparagus: One of my favorite foods ever is asparagus. My Mom always boiled asparagus, and I don’t remember not liking it, but I much prefer it sauteed. I just melt about a tablespoon of butter and a splash of olive oil in a skillet, toss in the asparagus (usually cut into thirds or so, but however you like it is fine), sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss until tender. I like it slightly blackened, but that’s just me. It is also great if sprinkled with balsamic vinegar while sauteeing. n Broccoli: I like to steam broccoli and toss it with some butter and a little lemon juice, but my favorite way is to roast it. Just cut the broccoli into long stalks, stem and all. Place them on a baking sheet and sprinkle with olive oil. At times when we have been out of olive oil, we’ve sprayed it with canola oil baking spray, and it works great as well! Mince fresh garlic over the broccoli (or use garlic powder to make it even

can’t think of anyone I know who would object to being happier. I would categorize myself as a pretty “happy” person, but I tend to have the mindset that true happiness and contentment will come at some point down the road — after I have my own home, have landed the perfect job, have changed the things about myself that I think need to be changed and have experienced more love and more life in general. It’s easy to see happiness as a goal instead of a lifestyle, and at times I definitely fall into the group of people who think that this elusive thing called happiness is something to work towards, rather than something to possess right now. The trouble with that theory, however, is that life is happening now; time is flying by — seemingly faster every

Karen returns to neighboring Thailand. Authorities there tolerate refugees and insurgents along the border fighting the Burmese generalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forces. Karen falls heavily for Maung, handsome leader of an insurgent group. She is hardly fazed by credible stories of his continued connections with Burmese women and his alleged ordering of executions without trial of suspected traitors among rival dissidents. He wants to marry her and have children, but she breaks off after an inner struggle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a little miffed at his reticence about his work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To keep my own future safe for my work as a writer,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to leave both Maung and the border ...

cising better, organizing her home, and acting more energetic. Rubin took a very systematic approach to being happier; by breaking her life into eleven categories, and those categories into manageable goals, she was able to gradually live more decisively and improve her relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Happiness Projectâ&#x20AC;? is the chronicle of Rubinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey. The book is divided into chapters that encompass her experiences in working on the various elements of her resolution to be happier. My favorite part of the book is the chapter on September, the month she set aside to pursue her passion for books. She describes her love of books and writing and how she found ways to incorporate that love into other areas of her life through projects and gifts for her family and friends. I also really enjoyed the section on parenthood, in which she gives anecdotes about her children and examples of things she

tried in order to create a better atmosphere within her home. Rubin was very detailed and methodical in pursing her happiness project, and, while the book reflects that, it also portrays a fun, energetic approach to making the most out of life as it happens. At the beginning of the book, Rubin relates that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embark on the project because she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy, but because she knew she could be happier and wanted to get the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most bang for her happiness buck.â&#x20AC;? After reading this book I have already begun to notice areas I can work on in my own life, and have even incorporated a few of Rubinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tips into my daily routine. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take a step back and evaluate how we are living and interacting with other people; instead of waiting for my happiness to begin I want to find ways to be happier now, and fully appreciate my present circumstances.

day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m focusing too much on my circumstances changing and being happy in the future, I will miss my chances to be happy, in the present. Gretchen Rubin recognized these tendencies in her life and, after an epiphany during an afternoon bus ride, launched a yearlong project that forced reflection and fostered happiness. She identified eleven areas of her lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Vitality, Marriage, Work, Parenthood, Leisure, Friendship, Money, Eternity, Books, Mindfulness, and Attitudeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and devoted a month to working on each area (December was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfect month,â&#x20AC;? in which she demonstrated mastery of all eleven areas). She set individual goals for each month and tackled them one by one; for example, in January (Vitality month), she resolved to boost energy by going to bed earlier, exer-

DEAR GRAY: When it comes to specialized areas of law, most people are more familiar with corporate, criminal or even divorce law than they are elder law, but elder law has become one of the fastest growing fields in the legal profession. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should know.

If you do decide to go with an elder law attorney, keep in mind that most donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t specialize in all areas of elder law, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to choose someone who has the expertise that matches your parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs.

THE HEALTHY PLATE

Books to give you a reason to Thinking thin? crank up the oven this summer Think breakfast By MICHELE KAYAL For The Associated Press

Summer doesn’t often inspire us to crank up the oven. But some dishes can make it worth enduring the heat. Berries and peaches light up with just a touch of heat, and tomatoes become even sweeter. And what picnic would be complete without a juicy pie or some big, chunky cookies? To help you along, a few new cookbooks show you how to make the most of summer’s bounty. “The Sono Baking Company Cookbook,” for example, folds plump summer blueberries into tender, sour cream muffins. And chunky, chocolate-stuffed kitchen sink cookies practically scream “picnic.” But it’s really the book’s savories that set it apart. Baker John Barricelli nestles sweet kernels of corn against luscious crabmeat in a decadent French tart, and creates a Jarlsberg-topped cobbler of red, yellow and orange cherry tomatoes. If you live in a place where leeks and asparagus are still popping, show them off in his custardy leek, asparagus and corn tart. Vegetarian cooking guru Deborah Madison also has worked as a pastry chef. And she has put her knowledge to good use in “Seasonal Fruit Desserts,” a book stocked with no-fuss desserts that exploit summer’s just-from-thefarm sweetness. “Fruit lends itself to improvisation,” she says. “If it’s really delicious to start with it gives you so many possibilities.” Some of her simplest desserts require no baking at all: plums are gently sauteed with

While avoiding heat in the kitchen tends to be the rule in the summer it will be worth cranking up the oven for this Right-side-up cake recipe from Deborah Madison’s “Seasonal Fruit Desserts.” a touch of cardamom, while the hollows of fat summer melons are filled with berries, wine and herbs. If you do turn on the oven, a berry and peach cobbler gets crunch from corn flour, and easy folded pies are filled with grapes or mulberries, blackberries and other summer treats. A right-side-up cake piled with fresh fruit and just a touch of butter offers a lighter take on the traditional buttery-sweet upside down cake. David Lebovitz’s “Ready for Dessert” promises visceral satisfaction starting with the cover, which invites you to drag a greedy finger through a cake’s thick chocolate icing. Inside, almond cookies become cobbler crusts and Guinness-spiked gingerbread gets topped with lime frosting. Even classics get just a little extra kick, like a nectarine-raspberry upside-down cake with a gingerbread base. For those days when peaches practically ooze their juice at the farm stand, Lebovitz proposes peach mascarpone semifreddo, a frozen peaches-andcream given a subtle

crunch by crushed amaretti cookies. n “The Sono Baking Company Cookbook” by John Barricelli (Clarkson Potter, 2010) n “Seasonal Fruit Desserts” by Deborah Madison (Broadway Books, 2010) n “Ready For Dessert” by David Lebovitz (Ten Speed Press, 2010)

RIGHT-SIDE-UP CAKE This simple, seasonal cake (consider it an upsidedown upside-down cake) from Deborah Madison’s “Seasonal Fruit Desserts” is made entirely in the food processor. She says it is sturdy enough to support a layer of fresh berries, pitted cherries, huckleberries, sliced peaches, quartered apricots or cut-up pineapple. Start to finish: 2 hours (1 hour active) Servings: 8 Butter, for coating the pan All-purpose flour, for dusting the pan For the topping: 1 1/2 cups fruit (chopped if large) 2 tablespoons granulated sugar For the cake: 3 1/2 ounces almond paste 2/3 cup granulated sugar 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room tem-

perature 3 eggs, room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt 2/3 cup corn flour 2/3 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Powdered sugar, for dusting Heat the oven to 375 F. Coat a 5-by-8-inch springform pan with butter and flour. Line the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment paper, then butter that, as well. In a medium bowl, toss the fruit with the sugar, then set aside. In a food processor, combine the almond paste and sugar. Pulse until evenly combined. Add the butter and pulse until well combined. With the machine running, add the eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the vanilla and almond extracts, and the sour cream. Blend until smooth. In a medium bowl, mix the corn flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Add half of the dry ingredient to the processor and pulse 3 times. Add the second half and pulse 3 times again. Scrape the bowl to make sure everything is well combined, then give it 3 or 4 more pulses. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Pile the fruit over the top. Bake in the center of the oven until lightly browned and springy when pressed with a fingertip, about 1 hour or slightly longer. Let stand for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar. Let cool to room temperature before slicing. (Recipe from Deborah Madison’s “Seasonal Fruit Desserts,” Broadway Books, 2010)

By JIM ROMANOFF For The Associated Press

It seems like a paradox, but eating actually can help you maintain a healthy weight and even lose a few pounds, especially when comes to breakfast. Many of us skimp on this important first meal of the day, either because we’re in a rush or it seems like a good place to cut a few calories. Unfortunately, this usually leads to feeling starved by mid-morning. That’s when the temptation is greatest to grab a doughnut or other carbdense food for a quick (and counterproductive) energy fix. Studies have shown that people who eat a healthy breakfast have an easier time dieting (because they’re not hungry all the time) and are better at keeping off the weight they lose. Of course, this isn’t license to start the day with a stack of syrupdrenched pancakes. Instead, choose foods that are low-calorie and filling, such as fresh fruits and vegetables or low-fat dairy products, such as yogurt or skim milk. Like fruits and vegetables, whole-grain cereals are filled with plenty of nutrients and dietary fiber, which makes you feel full longer. For more energydense choices, especially if you’re going to work out or go for a hike, consider an egg, some peanut butter or even a few nuts, such as almonds or walnuts. This mango-blueberry breakfast couscous is a convenient hot meal that fits the nutritional bill by combining whole-grains

Hungry Prosciutto, however, gives you the flavor of bacon with a bonus (beyond letting you put away the extinguisher). As the prosciuttowrapped hot dogs grill, the prosciutto crisps, creating a crunchy bacony exterior. It also helps hold in moisture, so your hot dogs stay plump. You could leave it at that. Or you could go for the gusto and top the whole thing with avocado slices, an excellent match for the salty prosciutto and peppery hot dog. Trust me. It’s delicious. And you know you want one. What would you do to push it even further? Let me know at jhirsch@ap.org.

Hot Dogs Continued from Page 1C

cheese was a no-brainer. Creamy and starchy, it’s the perfect foil for the dog. That’s right. We’re going to make a batch of mac and cheese, spoon it right into the bun, then nestle the hot dog into it. If we weren’t still in a recession, I’d say toss some lobster chunks into the mac and cheese first, but in this economy that’s just bad form. For the hot dog itself, I say go with what you like. Every region and ballpark seems to have a favorite. Go with it. But before you go too far, wrap that sucker in some prosciutto. It sounds crazy, and you might ask, “Why not just wrap the hot dogs in bacon and get it over with?” Because grilling bacon is fun for no one, especially the grill. We’re talking serious fat flames.

MAXED MAC AND CHEESE HOT DOG Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 2 tablespoons butter 4 split-top hot dog buns

8 ounces elbow pasta 1/2 cup sour cream 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder Splash of hot sauce 4 slices prosciutto 4 hot dogs 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced Smoked paprika In a large skillet over medium, melt the butter. Place the buns in the skillet, turned on their sides. Toast until lightly crisped and brown, about 2 minutes. Turn to toast the other side, then remove from the pan and set aside. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and return it to the saucepan. Add the sour cream, cheddar cheese, mustard powder, garlic powder and hot sauce. Stir well to mix and melt the cheese. If the

sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved cooking water. Cover and set aside. Tightly wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each hot dog, pressing it to keep the edges in place. Heat a grill to medium. Lightly oil the grates or coat them with cooking spray. Grill the hot dogs, turning them periodically, until the prosciutto is evenly crisped and lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. To assemble the hot dogs, spoon a generous amount of mac and cheese into each bun. Nestle a hot dog into the macaroni, then top with slices of avocado. Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika over each assembled hot dog.

easier) and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Bake it in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes or so, until golden brown on the edges. Love it. n Carrots: Fresh carrots are best and easiest when steamed. Just peel, slice, and toss them in the steaming basket over a pot of water and bring the water to a boil. Stir the carrots around every now and then until forktender, or to your desired consistency. Warning: this part kind of takes the nutrition out of it, but… put the carrots in a bowl, add a pat of butter, a sprinkle of brown sugar and a dash of ground ginger. Stir and serve. Very, very tasty. n Corn: My sister introduced me to grilling corn. Just wrap each ear of corn in aluminum foil with a pat of butter and a little salt and pepper and cook until done — which

with non-fat dairy, dried fruit and nuts. Because the recipe calls for dry non-fat milk powder, you can mix this cereal up ahead of time and store it in airtight containers or plastic bags. Add water, bring the mixture to a boil, and you have a healthy breakfast in under 10 minutes. Keep some of this mix in your cupboard for those mornings when you’re short on time, or even throw a bag of it in your backpack for a lightweight, almost instant camping breakfast.

MANGO-BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST COUSCOUS Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 4 1 cup whole-wheat couscous 1/3 cup dry nonfat milk 2 tablespoons brown sugar 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 cup slivered almonds 1/4 cup dried blueberries 1/4 cup chopped dried mango In a medium bowl, combine the couscous, dry milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, almonds, dried blueberries and dried mango. Mix thoroughly. Store dry mix in a zip-close plastic bag or other airtight container until ready to use. To prepare, in a medium saucepan, combine the dry mix with 1 1/2 cups water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until boiling. Cover, remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Mix well before serving.

depends on the amount of fire and what kind of grill you are using — you will have to poke it and experiment. The corn kind of caramelizes and pretty much just falls off of the cob into your mouth. When I cook it inside, I fill a pot with water and add about a ½ cup of sugar. Add the corn and bring all to a boil, boiling for about 8 minutes. Sweet, tender and delicious. n Mushrooms: Oooooh, my favorite. I guess they aren’t even a vegetable so much as a fungus, but they are still so super good. Slice and saute the mushrooms in some olive oil and butter, add salt and pepper and Worcestershire sauce, and serve alongside a nice, grilled steak. Aaaaahhh. So there they are — my favorite veggies and my favorite ways to prepare them. With quick, easy and tasty ways to prepare veggies, it is a treat — not a challenge — to get in your recommended three to five servings daily.

Cedar apple rust

Did you have an orange octopus on your juniper this spring? Confused? These orange structures may indicate that you have an interesting landscape disease called cedar-apple rust. Cedar-apple rust is a fungal disease with a complex life cycle. In order to complete its life cycle, the disease organism needs two different, unrelated hosts: a juniper and a rosaceous plant. Juniper hosts include eastern red cedar and Southern red cedar. In the winter to early spring, tan to brownish golf ball sized galls can be observed on the stems of the juniper host. During moist weather in the spring, the galls produce bright orange, gelatinous â&#x20AC;&#x153;horns,â&#x20AC;? which produce spores. The gall has an appearance of an orange octopus at this point. Spores are distributed by wind and can travel over two miles to infect a rosaceous host. These spores will not reinfect the juniper. Although galls are unsightly on the juniper host, they rarely cause major damage to this host. Rosaceous hosts are plants in the rose family including apple, hawthorn and crabapple. In late spring, distinctive yellow or orange lesions are visible on the upper surface of the leaf. Later, cup-shaped structures will form on the lower surface of the leaf. These structures will produce spores that will infect junipers. Cedar-apple rust can cause leaves to drop prematurely from the rosaceous host and in a severe infection, could cause death of the tree. Fruit may also be infected, resulting in smaller, deformed, unmarketable apples. The best way to control this disease is to use plants with genetic resistance to cedar-apple rust. Contact our Center for recommendations on resistant apples, junipers, and crabapples. Although eradication of host plants (either juniper or apple) seems like a logical solution, it often

fails to work since spores can travel miles in the wind. Also, do not plant susceptible hosts next to each other. If the juniper host is small and galls are easy to reach, hand removal of the galls in late winter or early spring can be an effective control. Be sure to remove the galls before the orange horns are produced to avoid spore dispersal. Fungicides can be used to prevent infection of the rosaceous host. Treating the juniper host is often not practical unless all trees in a two-mile radius can be treated! Be careful using pesticides, since some fungicides may not be able to be used on both food crops (apples) and ornamentals (crabapples). Whenever using pesticides, always read and follow the label. Cedar-apple rust is a complicated, but interesting disease. Keep in mind that once you see symptoms on the rosaceous host, it is too late to spray this year.

If delayed gratification sometimes seems to be too much a part of gardening, it does teach us to appreciate the means to an end as much as the end itself. Especially with planting trees. Your vision might call for a towering maple or spreading beech in a corner of your front yard, but you usually can do no more than plant a smaller one, care for it and wait. Not that full-size trees cannot be â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and sometimes are â&#x20AC;&#x201D; moved for instant effect. Take along enough earth, keep it intact around the roots, and even a large tree

juice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are packed with nutritious goodness. Although we know that fresh fruits and vegetable are always a tasty treat, it may be difficult to convince your children of this. Here are a few tips to get your children, and even you, to try something new.

INTRODUCE FRUITS AND VEGGIES EARLY AND OFTEN Since eating habits are established early, serve a wide variety of fruits and vegetables during the first years of life. However, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect your child to like new items the first time you serve them. It actually takes from 7-15 exposures of a new food before your child may want to eat it. BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL Children take food cues from the adults around them. They will try â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and eat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more

hardly knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been relocated. But such moves demand heavy, specialized equipment and plenty of money. Even then, a number of these trees die within a year of their move, or just sulk for many years. We mortals are better off planting smaller trees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much, much smaller ones. In fact, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about trees that you ordinarily buy from a nursery, smaller is usually better than larger. Financial considerations aside, research has shown that if a large and small tree of the same species are planted under similar conditions, growth of the smaller tree often outstrips that

of the larger one after a few years. One reason why smaller trees grow better is they suffer proportionately less root loss in transplanting. A larger tree needs a lot more water to recover from its move, and because it takes longer to reestablish itself, watering must be continued longer, often for a few years. Nursery trees are commonly sold balled-andburlapped (B&B), in pots or bare root. A balled-and-burlapped tree is typically dug from the field in spring, after which its roots and attached ball of soil are swathed in burlap. Although such trees typically lose well over 50

percent of their roots during digging, they survive transplanting well as long their root balls remain intact, they are planted soon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; preferably before growth begins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and their tops are not too large in proportion to the size of the roots. Potted trees spend their whole youth in pots â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least they should. Advantages of potted trees are that they can be transplanted almost any time of year and with no loss of roots. Potting soils are porous and watered frequently at the nursery so, once transplanted, potted trees need diligent and regular watering until roots establish themselves in surrounding soil.

fruits and vegetables when their parents, grandparents, babysitters and teachers seem to be enjoying them. Pressuring or forcing kids to eat fruits and vegetables will have the opposite effect and they will actually eat less.

Explore fruit and veggie options for everyone. Variety is the key to enjoying fresh fruits and vegetables. Throughout the year a large variety of fruits and vegetables are available locally from farm stands found throughout the county. For a statewide directory of pick-your-own farms, roadside farm markets, and farmers markets, check out North Carolina Farm Fresh (http://www.ncfarmfresh.com/).

Just plan ahead and â&#x20AC;&#x153;bag it up.â&#x20AC;? ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO CHOOSE FRUITS AND VEGGIES Children like to have a choice, especially when it comes to food. They love to pick out their own fruit and vegetables at farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets or in the produce section at the grocery store. Giving them that opportunity will encourage them to try new items.

Teens Continued from Page 1C

10-19. With numbers like this, teen pregnancy must become a bigger concern for our citizens. Why do teens get pregnant? This question seems simple since we all know how babies are made. But, significant research and common sense tell us that the answer to that question is much more complicated. Education, socio-economic status, future opportunities, how a teen relates to parents or peers, and self-esteem only scratches the surface of the many risk factors for teen pregnancy. Preventing teen pregnancy requires a multi-pronged approach. Schools, community groups, parents, doctors, educators, legislators, and teens themselves must all be involved to give teens a chance for a healthy future. Education is regularly hindered by pregnancy for a teenage mother. Studies have shown that parenthood is the leading cause of high school dropout rates in teenage females. It is recorded that only 40 percent of teen mothers before the age of 18 ever graduate from high school. In N.C., taxpayers spend approximately $312 million annually toward teen childbearing. In Lee County, 44.9 percent of teen mothers are on welfare compared to 38.9 percent for N.C. teen mothers. However, in North Carolina only $2.5 million is spent each year to prevent teen pregnancies. It is clear that an increase in prevention dollars would benefit everyone overall. However, on June 30, 2009, House Bill 88, The Healthy Youth Act was approved in the N.C. General Assembly. This act requires direct local school administrative units to provide reproductive health and safety education in grades seven through nine. The Healthy Youth Act requires that students learn

that abstinence is the safest choice and the expected standard for all schoolchildren, while also learning about contraception, STD risk and prevention, and sexual assault and sexual abuse. The material will still follow the guidelines of North Carolina’s Standard Course of Study. All the information presented must be accurate, reviewed and accepted by professionals and experts in the field of sexual health education. As parents you may be wandering what you can do to help your teenager make proud choices. The most powerful tool in any situation is communication. Talking with your teenager and actively listening to their opinions and concerns is a parent’s best way of building a strong relationship with their teenager. There are plenty of websites just for young people such as: Stayteen.org, APPCNC.org, Teenpregnancy.org, and AdvocatesforYouth.org. The Lee County Health Department also has as MySpace and Facebook page with information directed toward teenagers. All of these websites will provide parents and teenagers with a wealth of information and knowledge encouraging and promoting proud choices and ensuring that all of our young people have an opportunity to a promising future!

Summer fruit and veggie picks: Peppers, raspberries and apricots

ere are a couple of summer fruits and a vegetable for you to enjoy.

Sweet bell peppers Why: They’re crisp, delicious, low in calories, go with almost any food, and add great color on the plate. In addition, red bell peppers have three to four times more vitamin C than citrus fruits, and green, yellow, and orange bell peppers are also higher in vitamin C than citrus. Red bell peppers are fully ripened green bell peppers. Green bell peppers are unripe and immature. Orange, yellow, and purple peppers are different varieties of the bell pepper and reach their appropriate color upon ripeness. All peppers become sweeter as they ripen. Also, as an interesting side note, bell peppers contain a recessive gene that inhibits the concentration of capsaicin, which is what makes chili peppers hot and spicy. Nutritional Information: Red bell peppers (1 cup): 46 calories; 0.45 g fat; 9 g carbs; 3 g fiber; 1.5 g protein; Green bell peppers (1 cup): 30 calories; 0.25 g fat; 7 g carbs; 2.5 g fiber; 1.3 g protein Health Perks: Red bell peppers are one of the best sources of beta carotene, the form of vitamin A found in plants. And red bell peppers also contain approximately 11 times the beta carotene of green bell peppers. In addition, they are an excellent source of the phytochemicals lutein and zeaxanthin, which are known to protect against macular

degeneration. Bell peppers of all colors are also good sources of vitamin B6, fiber, folate, potassium, and many other vitamins and minerals. And they contain the phytochemical lycopene, which has been shown to reduce the risk for certain cancers. A 2007 study published in the Journal of Food Science compared the antioxidant activity in all four colors and found that the quantity of antioxidant phenolic compounds was greatest in red bell peppers, followed by orange, yellow, and green. Purchase Tips: Research indicates that bell peppers of all colors are among the top 10 vegetables for containing pesticide residue when grown conventionally. Therefore, it is recommended that you look for organically grown varieties.

Red Raspberries Why: Have you eaten a sweet-tasting raspberry? It rivals any candy you can think of — and it’s only 1 calorie per raspberry. Raspberries are much lower in calories than you would

think — only 64 calories for 1 cup. And just 1 cup provides 32.2 mg, or 54 percent of the recommended daily value, of vitamin C; 32 percent of your day’s supply of fiber; and 41 percent of the daily recommended value for manganese, which is a trace mineral that helps to catalyze enzymes required for various body functions. Nutritional Information (1 cup): 64 calories; 14.7 g carbs; 8 g fiber; 0.8 g fat; 1.5 g protein. Health Perks: According to a study conducted by researchers A. Venketeshwer Rao and Dawn M. Snyder from the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto, Canada, and reported in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, red raspberries contain “a wide range of polyphenolic phytochemicals (flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, and tannins), “some of which may function as anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic and protect against LDL oxidation, thus reducing cardiovascular diseases. Anthocyanins and ellagitannins are the major antioxidant phytochemicals present in raspberries. Ellagitannins are tannins, not commonly found in foods, which react with water to become ellagic acid, and may slow the growth of some cancer cells. Recent research has shown that the ellagic acid in raspberries is highly bioavailable. Anthocyanin, the pigment responsible for the red color in raspberries, helps reduce the risk of blood coagulation, preventing the development of blood clots involved in stroke, pulmonary embolism, and heart attack. Other research reported in the journal BioFactors found that raspberries have more antioxidants than strawberries, kiwi, broccoli, leeks, apples, and tomatoes. Additionally, the fructose combined with their high dietary fiber content, helps to regulate blood sugar by slowing digestion so that you don’t get those awful sugar spikes and subsequent letdowns. And even the little fat that raspberries do contain is almost entirely unsaturated fat. Purchase Tips: Raspberries are highly perishable. Look for plump, even colored, bright berries that are not bruised. Oh, and those hairs on the raspberries — called “styles” — are normal and part of the fruit’s defense mechanism.

RASPBERRY SALSA Makes about 6 cups, or 8 to 10 servings A little sweet, a little sour, a little spicy, and a little crunchy — this salsa is a perfect accompaniment to pork, chicken, fish, or beef. It’s also great over sliced fresh fruit or as an accompaniment to a cheese tray. If you prepare and refrigerate the salsa in advance, the jicama and apple will turn a pretty pink from the raspberries. Ingredients 2 cups diced peeled jicama 1 Pink Lady or other tart-sweet apple, cored and diced 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped 3 green onions, sliced 1/3 cup raspberry vinegar 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 1 (12-ounce) bag frozen Washington raspberries

In large bowl toss jicama and apple with vinegar. Add all remaining ingredients and toss to blend. Serve at once or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Nutritional Information per serving: Calories 40; fat 0.1 g; saturated fat 0.01 g; % calories from fat 2%; protein 0.8 g; carbohydrates 9.7 g; cholesterol 0 mg; sodium 2.5 mg; fiber 2.76 g. Healthy Recipe Courtesy of Washington Red Raspberry Commission

Apricots Why: Fresh apricots are tasty, low in calories and can be used to sweeten a variety of dishes. Nutritional Information (1 cup sliced, about 4 apricots): 79 calories; 1 g fat; 19 g carbs; 3 g fiber; 2 g protein. Health Perks: Apricots are loaded with vitamin A — 1 cup has about 3,178 IU, or 64 percent of your daily recommended value. The vitamin A in apricots converts to the antioxidant beta carotene, which is involved in the growth and repair of skin tissue and may protect against sun damage. Additionally, it is said to have anti-cancer effects and to enhance immune system function. Apricots are also packed with vitamin C (27 percent of the daily recommended value), plus potassium, iron, copper, and the antioxidant lycopene. Purchase Tips: Look for apricots that are firm and plump with an orange-yellow to orange color. You know they’re ripe when they’re soft to the touch. Putting ripe apricots in the fridge will prevent them from going bad. Avoid apricots that are yellow or green, or if they’re bruised or dried up.
