SANFORD — With a $67 million expansion on tap for Sanford’s Big Buffalo wastewater treatment plant, some city officials are questioning the timing of the long-planned move. The questions came up as the Sanford City Council voted this week to bump up sewer and water rates as part of a multiyear plan to pay for work at the sewer plant. The expansion, set to be completed in 2013, will up Big

AGAINST EXPANSION

“I’m in favor of sticking with the gameplan. If we don’t stick with the gameplan, then next year if we get a big water user in here, it could come to a point where we’d have to double the (rate) increase.” City Councilman James Williams

“You go fish when the fish are biting. When the economy returns, go up on the rates and people won’t feel it because they have jobs. People will feel it now, they’re just trying to pay the bills.” City Councilman Mike Stone

According to Sanford Mayor Pro Tem Mike Stone, the city could back off, at least for a time, on the project and the rising utility rates. “You go fish when the fish are biting,” Stone said. “When the economy returns, go up on the rates and people won’t feel it because they have jobs. People will feel it now, they’re just trying to pay the bills.” Despite Stone’s calls to wait a year, which were shared by Councilman Charles Taylor, a majority of council members voted to increase the utility rate anywhere from 9 cents to $1.04 per 100 cubic feet, or 748 gallons, of water or sewer consumption, pointing to the expansion as a

Pinewild now a part of Pinehurst

PINEHURST (MCT) — After more than five years of fighting forced annexation, the gated community of Pinewild has become part of the village of Pinehurst. The annexation of Pinewild, a 2,000-acre residential golf community, took place March 31. “It’s over. Been over for 45 days,” said Andy Wilkison, the village manager for Pinehurst. Fred Zimmerman, who has lived in Pinewild for eight years, said Wednesday that he has already received his first tax bill from the village. “It was probably $1,600. For nothing,” he said. “That $1,600 is for what I used to pay $300 for.” Zimmerman, 66, a former National Football League player and retired salesman, said what troubles him most about the merger is that Pinewild homeowners never received the opportunity in court to explain their situation. The group Stop the Taking of Pinewild was formed around 2004 to coordinate community opposition to annexation and provide access to legal assistance. “We asked for a honest shake, and we never got it,” Zimmerman said. “I think if we had been heard in court, it would have been fair. The cases were turned down.” — Fayetteville Observer

Zombie film seeks more undead extras

SANFORD — The locally produced zombie flick, “A Few Brains More: Summer of Blood” 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 “early 70s style” 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 film’s Facebook page at facebook.com, search “A Few Brains More.” — from staff reports

Task force picked to oversee county courthouse work

PITTSBORO — The Chatham County Board of Commissioners appointed 21 residents to a task force to study and make recommendations to the commissioners about the use of the historic Chatham County Courthouse when it is time for rebuilding. “So many people care about the historic courthouse, and this was certainly demonstrated by the fact that we had more than 40 applicants and nominees, representing a wide array of interests, expertise and areas of the county,” said Commissioner Chairwoman Sally Kost. “This also presented a challenge in making the appointments for a limited number of positions” Kost said. “The talent and experience of all the applicants is outstanding.” County Commissioner Carl Thompson, who will serve as a non-voting liaison to the task force, said that “the county received more interest in this task force than any other the board has appointed in recent

history. It was most heartwarming to see so many people express their willingness to give their time to this important effort.” The task force will identify the potential functions for the courthouse and make recommendations to the Board of Commissioners on the most appropriate functions to be housed in the rebuilt facility. Warren Miller from Fountainworks will work with the task force over the next few months to help them review options and develop recommendations by August. The process will include various opportunities for additional public input, including community forums. The first community forum is slated for June 14, and the first meeting of the task force is slated for June 29. Task force members appointed by the commissioners are: o Courts: Superior Court Judge Allen Baddour, District Court Judge Page Vernon and Clerk of Court Sam Cooper. o Town of Siler City: Richard Szary. o Town of Pittsboro: Michael Fiocco. o Town of Goldston: To be designated by Goldston Mayor Tim Cunnup. o Historical Associations: Barbara Pugh and Geraldine Degraffenreidt or her designee. o Economic Development Corporation: Jeffrey Starkweather. o Arts: Lesley Landis. o Architecture: Taylor Hobbs. o Public Safety Fire: Capt.

Fund to benefit heroic brothers who foiled kidnapping of UNC student By GREGORY CHILDRESS The Durham Herald-Sun

CHAPEL HILL — A fund has been established at RBC Bank on Rosemary Street to raise money to help pay the medical bills of Joey Shelton, the Pittsboro man who last week, along with his brother, Freddie Shelton, thwarted the kidnapping of a UNC student. Joey Shelton, 51, was injured when hit by a car driven by alleged kidnapper Theodore James Walker, 26, of 108 Timber Hollow Court, after he and Freddie, also of Pittsboro, pulled into the RBC Bank parking lot near the intersection of North Columbia and Rosemary streets, to help the student who was

now prepared to put that training to use. Members of the team will go door-to-door in the community searching for victims and assessing injuries. "Victims" will be given first aid, triaged and staged for transport by helicopter if needed. Though fake for Saturday, the scenario is entirely possible, according to Roger Milliken with Lee County Emergency Services, which is why it is imperative that the team know what the are doing. He said projections show that even a Category 2 hurricane could knock down trees every 25 feet on the roads and cut off a neighborhood like Trace from services. All Trace residents have been notified of the drill, so the training efforts shouldn't create mass hysteria, MIlliken said. "This drill gives us a chance to practice what they have learned and see what they are doing right and wrong, so they can correct things need to work on," Milliken said. "We could have something like this happen here. It's not likely, but it could occur, and it may take days get emergency services out there." Born out of the California wildfires, the CERT program aims to teach people how to help themselves and their neighbors with light fire suppression, search and rescue and medical triage during a major disaster. Milliken said Carolina Trace's team is the largest in the county so far, but officials hope it extends all over the county. "We'd like to see 60 to 70 percent of the population trained," he said.

struggling to break free of the suspect. When the suspect saw the brothers approaching, he jumped in his vehicle and tried to leave the parking lot, hitting Joey Shelton in the process. The impact caused Joey Shelton to roll up onto the hood of the car and break the windshield. He was transported to the UNC Hospitals for treatment. Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt, who praised the brothers’ heroism, announced the creation of the fund Monday before a meeting during which the council held several public hearings to discuss land use matters and development proposals. “I encourage all citizens and residents to

thank the Shelton brothers and to help offset the medical costs that unfortunately are not covered by insurance,” Kleinschmidt said. He said the brothers will be invited to a council meeting in the near future to receive an official thanks from the town. Kristin Hicks, a teller at the RBC Bank from which a 911 call was made to report the kidnapping attempt, said the “Joey and Freddie Shelton Appreciation Fund” was set up by an unidentified “good Samaritan” on Friday. “It was basically opened so people can make donations to Joey Shelton’s hospital bill or for any other need the brothers might have,” Hicks said.

She said the donations can be made at any Triangle RBC branch. “They all have the account number,” Hicks said. “Just let them know you want to make the donation for that and they’ll handle the transaction for you.” Donations can all so be mailed to the Rosemary Street Branch at 101 E. Rosemary St., Chapel Hill, N.C. Make checks payable to the “Joey and Freddie Shelton Appreciation Fund.” Walker is jailed on a $5 million bond. He is charged with assault on a female and assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, because Joey Shelton was hit with the car.

Education cuts will hurt down the road Our View Issue: The state’s ongoing budget negotiations, and the possibility of deep cuts to public education

Our stance: While budget cuts are necessary in these difficult times, our kids shouldn’t have to shoulder all of them

As negotiations start between the two houses of the N.C. General Assembly on the state’s budget, the clear losers no matter the outcome will be the state’s public education system — and perhaps local governments. The Senate’s $19 billion budget proposal, approved Thursday by a 30-26 vote, already cut $159 million from education spending over the current budget. But House budget writers have already started singling out some differences and announcing they would aim to cut an additional $200 million from public education. Cutting the waste from the state’s education budget is a laudable goal, but one that will likely

only cause increases in the amount local governments contribute. At a time when both property values and sales tax receipts are in the toilet, local governments are just as strapped as the state. Why is it OK for state legislators to pass the buck? It’s not. So when the local district has to cut even more teachers or spending on supplies next year, don’t be so quick to place all the blame on commissioners or the school board. Keep in mind that their allowance from the state has likely gone down dramatically. And when dropout rates rise again, keep in mind that the Senate’s budget proposal cuts $13 million in dropout prevention

grants. Meanwhile, the state’s health budget was to remain steady with the Senate at around $3.9 billion. In one of the toughest budget years in the state’s record, shouldn’t every facet of state services be considered for cuts? The state is not like the federal government. It cannot run a budget deficit. So it is understandable that some things will have to be cut, especially when revenues are in the tank. But our children shouldn’t have to shoulder the entire weight of the cuts. Hopefully both sides will figure out creative solutions that keep our schools competitive while cutting spending as well.

Sheriff with conviction?

ne lesson learned from the recent election primaries: In a lot of places, voters have pretty good sense after all. In six separate counties in North Carolina, people with previous criminal convictions decided that seeking the job of county sheriff was a good idea; in all six counties, voters didn’t agree. The best known of the defeated candidates is former Davidson County Sheriff Gerald Hege. A few years back, Hege became a national sensation and media darling because of his striking approach to crime fighting. ... Then, in 2004, after allegations that he misused public property, Hege pleaded guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice. His plea deal kept him out of prison, but the charismatic Hege lost his job. Six years later, Hege hoped voters were ready to forgive and forget. They weren’t. He got pasted at the ballot box. Hege received just 24 percent of the vote in losing to incumbent Davidson County Sheriff David Grice. The story was pretty much the same around the state. Other losing sheriff candidates with criminal convictions were Robert “Nub” Taylor in Avery County, David Morrow in Cleveland County, one-time sheriff Stanley James in Washington County, Willie Tharpe in Wilkes County and Mark Stewart in McDowell County. Only one of the six, James, received more than 30 percent of the vote. Despite the sound defeats, the unwillingness of those with criminal pasts to exhibit a little shame and discretion has other sheriffs and some state legislators worried. The North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association and some legislators would like to see passage of legislation intended to prohibit convicted felons from holding the office of county sheriff. A bill sponsored by Republican Sen. Stan Bingham of Davidson County would put the issue before state voters. The worry is that voters, in every case, may not show such good judgment. If not, if a convicted felon won a sheriff’s race, some odd circumstances would arise. Convicted felons can’t carry firearms. Hege, prior to the primary, argued that sheriffs don’t need to carry guns. Maybe, but they would still be making decision about guns ... Eddie Caldwell of the N.C. Sheriffs Association also points out that state regulations bar felons from being hired as deputy sheriffs or other sworn law enforcement officers. ... Some people have argued that the regulations do apply to both deputies and their sheriff bosses. Those arguments, though, are just one more indication of the legal wrangling and general havoc that might ensue if a convicted felon won a sheriff’s election. Allowing the state’s voters, as a whole, to put the issue to rest would be a better alternative.

Don’t kill off papers just yet By MARGARET SULLIVAN Editor, The Buffalo (N.Y.) News

The death watch began in March 2009. That was when — in the midst of some extraordinarily difficult times for newspapers — Time Magazine published its scary-sounding list: The 10 Most Endangered Newspapers in America. Of the top 50 papers in the U.S., the magazine speculated, at least eight would go out of business in the next 18 months. Big names were on the list: The Boston Globe, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Miami Herald and others. As the 18month mark approaches, Time is not exactly Sullivan batting 1,000. More like zero. The apparently well-accepted belief that newspapers are closing their doors en masse is simply not true. Of the roughly 1,400 American dailies, 11 have gone out of business in the past two years. That’s well under one percent. And among those that did fold, a number were in cities with more than one major paper. The Rocky Mountain News and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, for example, stopped print publication — but, significantly, both of them were in markets with daily newspaper competition. What’s more, newspaper profit margins, after falling for many years, may actually improve this year, according to a new J.P. Morgan analysis, as revenue declines moderate and newspaper companies reap the results of their cost-cutting. That’s not to say that all is rosy in newspaper land. Advertising revenue continues to be down. Print circulation is, too. In an e-mail exchange last year, New Yorker magazine editor David Remnick offered me his take: “My sons, who are in their teens, look at the Sunday paper outside the door as if a mattress had inexplicably landed there from heaven. To them, it’s a strange and gigantic thing, but they also have a hunger for news online. In that hunger is the hope that we’re not in the midst of a death of newspapers so much as a transformation.” Meanwhile, though, that change in reading habits by young and old alike drives down circulation revenue. And newspapers remain expensive to operate. Newsprint is costly; printing presses require production crews; delivery trucks need drivers; news gathering requires professional reporters and editors. However — and this is a big “however” — newspapers still have a lot going for them. As sources of news and information, especially in the role of government watchdogs, they continue to outshine web and broadcast outlets. They also still have considerable strengths as businesses. Newspapers remain a strong way to deliver an advertising message, especially now that they have an online presence to augment print. Last year alone, according to the Newspaper Association of America, newspapers took in $27 billion in advertising revenue — down significantly, of course, from previous years but still enough to make most of them solidly profitable despite their high costs. What does this all mean for the newspaper you are holding in your hands? No one is certain. What we are certain about is our mission, which must be defended at all costs. Newspapers continue to be the best source for news and enterprise journalism in our region. We remain committed to investigative journalism and rigorous reporting.

vital step for ensuring the city’s future. In 2009, Big Buffalo had an average daily flow of about 4 million gallons per day, a little less than 60 percent of its total capacity, said city engineer Paul Weeks. The year before, the plant pumped about 3.9 million gallons per day. Those numbers dropped from a high somewhere above 70 percent before industries exited and the economy tanked in recent years. Meanwhile, locals, immersed in conservationist dogma during drought years, began to cut back. The evidence, according to Stone, indicates the city could wait to speed expensive improvements at Big Buffalo. “We don’t have a crystal ball, but at 60 percent water capacity and it took us 30 years to get here, what makes you think we’re going to be at 90 (percent) in five years?” Stone said. The 90-percent mark is the point at which utility systems are required by state officials to begin turning dirt on expansion, Sanford Public Works

Director Victor Czar said this week. At 80 percent capacity, plans have to be in the works for that expansion, Czar said. City leaders expected those boundaries would be tested as the region experienced booming growth in years past. Still, while Sanford might not be in immediate danger of overworking Big Buffalo, all it takes is one new water-hungry manufacturer to settle in the city and the picture changes, according to Councilman L.I. “Poly” Cohen. “If somebody hadn’t of done this for us 20 years ago, where would we be today?” Cohen said. “We’d of run out of water yesterday.” Councilman James Williams echoed Cohen’s thoughts, arguing that waiting to expand Big Buffalo is tantamount to gambling with the city’s economic future. “The gameplan when we started was to increase water and sewer rates incrementally each year,” Williams said. “That was the gameplan. I’m in favor of sticking with the gameplan. If we don’t stick with the gameplan, than next year if we get a big water user in here, it could come to a point where we’d

State requirements are often changing and permits expire, Weeks said, meaning the city could be forced to redo much of its grueling planning process with the state if it waits to take action. Taylor said he backed Stone’s calls to freeze utility rates for 12 months because he believes the decision to expand Big Buffalo was made in a then-”robust” economy. Times have changed, industries have left or downsized, and cashstarved locals don’t have as much of a stomach for big expenditures, he said. “It’s OK to not act in haste,” Taylor said. “A lot of times in the past, we’ve made quick decisions and ended up with decisions that, good or bad, might not have been in the best interest of the residents of Sanford.” Stone said Sanford lead-

ers didn’t respond to the economic downturn. “That pendulum swung and government didn’t react quick enough,” he said. Taylor said local economic leaders need to decide what kind of companies they are recruiting for Sanford and Lee County. Some companies, like biotech powers and food processing plants, need massive amounts of water to work, he said. Others, like distribution companies, don’t need as much. Whichever comes to Sanford will make a big difference when it comes to the city’s capacity, he said. Still, Cohen said he expects a change in the works for Sanford industry. The economy is on a slow uptick, he said, and manufacturers are beginning to increase their operations and search for attractive locales to ramp up operations. That locale could be Sanford, he said. “Our water will jump back up considerably,” Cohen said. “If we get anybody that is a big user or consumer, we’re not going to have water for them.”

The work begins three weeks after the Lee County Board of Education approved its final contract with American South Contractors of Sanford to completely renovate the campus. At that meeting in April, the board added several amendements to the contract, including adding $2.6 million to the project to compensate

the winning bid. The contract was approved by the Local Governments Commissioner on May 4. According to Superintendent Jeff Moss, the project will be completed in phases, with parts of the renovated areas hosting classes as early as August of this year. Construction of new buildings on the campus will start in fall 2011, Moss said, and the entire project will likely be completed by summer 2012.

Alpacas lose winter coats as weather warms

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Spring came quick to Kipling Pines Alpacas, bringing with it the sting of Harnett Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balmy heat. The warmer weather signaled it was time for Bill and Cathy Knight to shear their flock of more than a dozen alpacas. By the end of April, all but two of the docile animals had been freed of their thick winter coats. One sunny May morning, it was time to shear the fur of the remaining two alpacas, Zebedee and Ankana. Compared to their crewcut brethren, 2-year-old Zebedee, a caramel-colored Huacaya, and 8-year-old Ankana, a white Suri, resembled longnecked muppets. Alpacas, which are smaller and more subdued than their llama relatives, hail from the cool tops of the Andes Mountains. In North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moist heat, the animals couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive a summer without being shorn. For Zebedee and Ankana, that meant enduring 30 minutes of discomfort for a season of staying cool. But shedding the fur does more than help the animals chill out. The best of the lush fibers can be spun into valuable yarn, which is crafted into clothing items such as scarves, sweaters, hats and fine knit dresses Alpacas have roamed South America for thousands of years. The ancient Incas called their fur â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiber of gods,â&#x20AC;? and alpaca fleece is a major export for Peru. The animals are relatively new in the United States,

Today in the United States, there are more than 100,000 registered alpacas nationwide and more than 4,000 breeders. Leonard Bates, vice president of the Carolina Alpacas Breeders and Owners, hopes those numbers increase as more people learn about the benefits of alpaca fur. Next weekend, the group will share that information at North Carolina Fiber Fest at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the luxury that the Inca kings relished. They made their clothes out of it, and it was reserved for royalty,â&#x20AC;? Bates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here in the United States, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having a hard time trying to compete with the cashmere and angoras because we have a small market.â&#x20AC;? Bates hopes Americans

will embrace alpaca fur the way it has been embraced in South America and Europe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Italians are doing wonders with it in creating suits and clothes,â&#x20AC;? Bates said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish we could say that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going gangbusters here in the United States, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not. So we still have a long way to go because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a couple of million alpacas that we shear every year.â&#x20AC;? In North Carolina, there are 135 alpaca farms and 1,663 alpacas, according to a 2007 census from the N.C. Department of Agriculture. The Knights started their alpaca farm in the Kipling community of northern Harnett County in 2003. At one time, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kept as many as 22 alpacas on their 11-acre farm. Now they have 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part has actually been all the people weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met and all the things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to

do,â&#x20AC;? Cathy Knight said. Cathy served for three years on the board of the Carolina Alpaca Breeders and Owners, including as the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president. On their farm, they sell alpaca fiber and socks made of alpaca fur. The fineness of the fiber determines its cost. Finer fiber is the more valuable. Prime adult fine fiber goes for $2 to $3 an ounce. Baby fiber, which is softer, goes for $3 to $4 an ounce, according to the New England Alpaca Owners Association. The fleece comes in 22 colors, including black, white, gray and various shades and tints of brown. The wool is also hypoallergenic. Once the fur has been shorn, Cathy sorts through the fibers. She will spin some of the fiber into yarn so she can crochet hats and scarves. Together, Zebedee and Ankana lost roughly 5 pounds of fleece.

Kevin Schilling, who started his alpaca farm in Eastover more than a year ago, said the more alpacas are cultivated in the United States, the more likely clothing designers will be to select it as a textile for their fashions. Alpaca fleece is so sought after, he said, because it is seven times as insulating as other wools, such as those that come from sheep and goats. But alpaca fleece is not as popular in the United States because the number of alpacas in the country is low compared to the herds of South America. Growing the herds in the United States has taken time because alpacas generally have single births, and the gestation period is 11 months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long time before you can get numbers built up,â&#x20AC;? he said. Schilling and his wife, Anna, have seven alpacas that live on their 17-acre Cumberland County farm. Schilling researched alpacas for years before acquiring some for the family farm. He liked that alpacas are self-sufficient. But you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get just one, because they need the companionship of other alpacas. Schilling is converting his farm into an agri-tourism destination. The plan is to have a flock of alpacas and a pumpkin patch and invite school groups to visit the farm. Ultimately, the goal is to get to know each of his alpacas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to breed some quality animals, but I also want to have a number of animals that I can spend time with,â&#x20AC;? Schil-

ling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want them to recognize me.â&#x20AC;? The alpaca clothing trend is slowly catching on. Vicente Alva, a native of Peru, opened In Alpaca Style, a boutique in Southern Pines that sells handcrafted dresses, sweaters, gloves, coats and other clothes made of alpaca fleece. Alva, a 30-year-old former toy designer, graduated from the Otis College Of Art And Design in Los Angeles, one of the top art schools in the nation. He worked as a toy designer for two and a half years before giving it up to run the boutique in Moore County. Artisans in Peru make all of the items in his shop at 205 W. Pennsylvania Ave. The items are made from 100-percent alpaca fur. You can tell, he said, because the clothing items donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t itch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alpaca should never itch,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it itches, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mixed with something else.â&#x20AC;? Alpaca garments are harder to take care of. They need to be dry cleaned, or the fabric will shrink. But on the plus side, Alva said, alpaca fibers breathe. Different weaves determine the thickness of the fabric. So while most people think of alpaca fleece as being used just for sweaters and mittens, Alva sells dresses made of a thin knit that can be worn in the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dresses are as thin as cotton,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more rigorous process. For one summer dress to be done by hand, it takes the weaver about three weeks.â&#x20AC;?

STATE BRIEFS State weighs early coverage addition for young adults

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina legislators aren’t likely to make state employees happy, but they’re willing to keep about 6,800 young adults from losing their health insurance coverage for several months. A state House committee on Thursday approved a plan to let the children of North Carolina employees, teachers and retirees stay on their parents’ insurance from the State Health Plan until they turn 26. The dependents are required by the federal health insurance overhaul law to be covered starting later this year. House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman said allowing the dependent coverage under the state plan beginning in June will prevent some from dropping out of coverage for a few months, or maybe for good. The extension is expected to cost the state-backed insurance plan up to $3.6 million next year.

Agency examining mental health privatization

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s top health official is considering whether to outsource care of dozens of institutionalized mental patients to a private contractor. Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler says he’s looking at privatizing oversight of about 80 mental patients at Dorothea Dix Hospital. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday the patients are accused of crimes and are either awaiting trial or have been found not guilty by reason of insanity. Cansler says he doesn’t favor privatizing all mental health care but says the agency must keep looking for ways to save money during tight budget times. A spokeswoman for Gov. Beverly Perdue says the governor is open to the idea.

County appeals order against sectarian prayers

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A North Carolina county has filed its appeal of a federal judge’s order blocking the local commission from opening meetings with sectarian prayers. The Winston-Salem Journal reported Thursday that lawyers for the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners have filed with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals saying the judge was wrong. U.S. District Judge James A Beatty ruled in January that Forsyth County’s prayers violated the U.S. Constitution. The ruling said such prayers must not advance a particular faith. The American Civil Liber-

ties Union of North Carolina sued in 2007 for two county residents who said many of the commission’s meetings opened with Christian-themed payers.

State offers incentives for jobs paying under $20k RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina officials have promised to give $127,000 to a textile company that plans to pay workers about $2 above the minimum wage on average. Multiple media outlets reported that Gov. Beverly Perdue’s office announced Advanced Textile Solutions was awarded the state incentives for its plans to invest $500,000 in a new Caldwell County plant the company expects will create 127 jobs. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday that the award marks the first time the state has offered money from the One North Carolina Fund for jobs paying an average of less than $20,000 a year. The jobs will pay an average of $19,000 per year, more than $10,000 below the county’s average annual wage in 2008.

Gulf oil spill doubted as source of N.C. tar balls OAK ISLAND (AP) — Coast Guard investigators are searching for the source of tar clumps that washed ashore on a North Carolina beach. Multiple media organizations reported Thursday that the head of the Wilmington Coast Guard unit which investigates spills at sea says it’s unlikely the black balls came from the massive oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Coast Guard Commander John Nadeau says it’s not unusual to find tar balls that wash up on beaches. He says oil in the water from any source turns into a putty-like substance after the oil collects particles.

Officials vote to speed construction at RDU airport MORRISVILLE (AP) — Officials at a North Carolina airport have voted to accelerate construction at one of its terminals so it can be open in time for the NHL All-Star Game. The Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority voted on Thursday to speed up construction of the second phase of Terminal 2 so it can be in operation for the all-star festivities, including the game on Jan. 30, 2011. The authority for Raleigh-Durham International Airport is working with Archer Western Contractors, Ltd. to open Terminal 2 on Jan. 23, 2011. The authority will incur some costs which will be reflected in a change to the construction contract.

House moving ahead as Senate gives budget OK By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH — House budget writers on Thursday started considering the Senate’s $19 billion budget plan, singling out some differences and announcing they would aim to cut an additional $200 million from public education. The Senate earlier in the day voted 30-16 to approve its version of the spending plan to run state government for the year starting July 1. House budget subcommittees got their marching orders from their superiors on the full appropriations panel on how much to cut and complete their work by the end of next week. The House wants to approve its full budget plan by June 4 — giving the two chambers about three weeks to work out a compromise to present to Gov. Beverly Perdue before July 1. Rep. Phil Haire, DJackson, a co-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said he believed the final negotiations will be easier based on what he’s seen in the Senate plan and what the House intends to roll out. “It’s much better than what we saw last year, so I

House eyes federal money with school changes RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina lawmakers aim to change how low-performing schools are transformed after missing out on a big pot of federal money. The House Education Committee on Thursday approved legislation that adopts federal guidelines on reforming poorly performing schools by giving local districts four options on how to revamp them, one of which allows a restart with a structure similar to a charter school. Charters are public schools allowed to operate with fewer rules. The cap on the number of traditional charter schools — those not controlled by local districts — would remain at 100 under the bill. The committee rejected a Republican amendment to raise the cap to 106. Gov. Beverly Perdue sought the changes to improve the state’s chances after missing out on federal Race to the Top grants in March.

think there’ll be less areas of discussion,” Haire said. “I think our priorities are really jobs and education.” But the House’s education subcommittee was told to make spending reductions that are twice as deep than those in the Senate plan — $360 million in net cuts, or 3.3 percent, versus $159 million in the Senate’s budget plan. Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, an education subcommittee co-chairman, said he believes the top budget writers are seeking more balance in proposed cuts across state government. Budget writers in the House health and human

services subcommittee were told they didn’t have to cut any deeper, keeping to the steep 9 percent reduction that the Senate budget took in that department. “My sense is the House leadership may feel those cuts are a little deeper than they would have liked,” Glazier said. It wasn’t immediately clear where the additional education cuts would originate, but House Democrats already have made plain they’ll restore dropout prevention grants, setting up a clear difference during negotiations. The Senate budget took away $13 million and discontinued the

program — a favorite of Speaker Joe Hackney and other House members. “This is the Senate’s bargaining chip,” said Rep. Ray Rapp, D-Madison, co-chairman of education subcommittee. Hackney spokesman Bill Holmes said spending targets for prisons, probation and the courts were slightly less than the Senate budget approved. “It’s early on in the process,” Holmes said. House tax-law writers are likely to examine carefully a Senate provision that would reduce the highest marginal income tax rate for small and family owned businesses from 7.75 percent to 6.9 percent. Senate leaders said the effort, which would reduce tax revenues by almost $40 million next year, was a small step in leveling the tax burden between mom-and-pop business and corporations. The House is considering proposals that reward small businesses that create jobs. “We’re concerned about job creation for small businesses,” said Rep. Paul Luebke, D-Durham, senior co-chairman of the House Finance Committee. “The Senate’s proposal is not linked to job creation.”

GULF OIL SPILL

Little chance of oil reaching Carolinas CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Chances are remote that oil from a leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico could make it to the beaches of the Carolinas and it would likely be weeks from now if it did, emergency officials said Thursday. “We think there will be a minimal impact, if any,” said Ricky Platt, director of the South Carolina Emergency Management Division. “But having said that, we’re still in the unknown.” The worry is that the loop current in Gulf of Mexico will pull the leaking oil around the Florida peninsula and then north toward the Carolinas. “What we’re hearing from the Coast Guard is that there is less than a 1 percent chance it could get this far,” said Eddie Seneca, the spokesman for the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. On Wednesday, Clinch Heyward and Ben Gregg,

chairman and executive director respectively of the South Carolina Wildlife Federation, wrote the Coast Guard and the state Department of Health and Environmental Control asking about contingency plans if oil does tar the shoreline. “No one can say with any certainty if this will happen or what the potential impacts on our region might be,” the letter said. “But since as of this date the oil continues to flow into the Gulf, and we are told it may be several months before it

is shut off, the possibility of its getting to our shores is becoming more and more likely.” Both states have plans in place to deal with oil spills and officials in each state are in daily contact with their counterparts in the Gulf. “If it does come here they think it will have a minor impact on our beaches,” said Joe Farmer, a spokesman for the South Carolina Emergency Management Division. “Minor impact as we have heard it explained is there could

be an occasional 6-inch tar ball that one could clean off one’s feet with soap.” “Is it a possibility? Yes. Is it likely? No. That’s what we’re hearing,” said Thom Berry, a spokesman for the state Department of Health and Environmental Control. There are a couple of things working in favor of the Carolinas. Much of the oil would be diluted in the weeks it could take to be pushed out of the Gulf. And the Gulf Stream would keep most of it off shore, 60 to 100 miles at sea, Berry said.

Oil arrives on Louisiana’s shore, on to Keys

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP conceded Thursday that more oil than it estimated is gushing into the Gulf of Mexico as heavy crude washed into Louisiana’s wetlands for the first time, feeding worries and uncertainty about the massive monthlong spill. Mark Proegler, a spokesman for oil giant BP PLC, said a mile-long tube inserted into a leaking pipe over the weekend is capturing 210,000 gallons a day — the total amount the company and the Coast Guard have estimated is gushing into the sea — but some is still escaping. He would not say how much. Several professors who have watched video of the leak have said they believe the amount spewing out is much higher than official estimates. Proegler said the 210,000 gallons — 5,000 barrels — has always been just an estimate because there is no way to measure how much is spilling from the seafloor. “I would encourage people to take a look at the changing amount of

weeks, but nothing like the brown ooze from the spill that started coating marsh grasses and hanging in the shallow water of a wetland Wednesday. “This is the heavy oil that everyone’s been fearing that is here now,” Gov. Bobby Jindal said during a boat tour Wednesday in southeastern Louisiana. The wetlands at the mouth of the Mississippi River are home to rare birds, mammals and a wide variety of marine life. Much of southeast Louisiana’s coastal waters have been closed to fishing and oyster harvesting AP photo because of the oil.

During a news conference, David Halstead, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, showed off a picture of a Coppertone bottle on a beach. “What’s the only oil on the beaches? Suntan oil,” he said. Tracking the unpredictable spill and the complex loop current is a challenge for scientists, said Charlie Henry, a NOAA environmental scientist. The loop moves based on shifting winds and other environmental factors, so even though oil is leaking continuously it may be in the current one day, and out the next. The slick itself has defied scientists’ efforts to track it and predict its path. Instead, it has repeatedly advanced and retreated, an ominous, shape-shifting mass in the Gulf, with vast underwater lobes extending outward. Florida’s state meteorologist said it will be at least another seven days before the oil reaches waters west of the Florida Keys.

Mayor: Detroit doesn’t know ‘how to stop’ killings

Labâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move begins to lift Plum Island mystery

Feds: Mass. man had Times Square suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hannibal Lecter, the fictional villain in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silence of the Lambs,â&#x20AC;? said it sounded â&#x20AC;&#x153;charming.â&#x20AC;? Author Nelson DeMille made it the centerpiece of his 1997 thriller about deadly viruses and hidden treasure. Since the infancy of the Cold War, Plum Island has been the site of an animal disease laboratory; access is limited to scientists, support personnel and, on rare occasions, invited guests. Because of its remote location a mile and half off the eastern tip of Long Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north fork, it frequently has been the target of rife speculation about what really goes on there. The general public could someday get access to the 840-acre pork chop-shaped oasis now that the federal government is moving its animal disease research functions to a new lab in Manhattan, Kan. With a â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Saleâ&#x20AC;? sign about to go up at Plum Island, the General Services Administration is seeking community input on what should be done with the property. A hearing was held Wednesday in Connecticut and another is scheduled for Thursday on Long Island. Besides the laboratory, the island is home to a defunct U.S. Army base and a charming little lighthouse that looks out onto Long Island Sound. And, as Agent Clarice Starling told Lecter: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very, very nice beach. Terns nest there.â&#x20AC;? DeMille, whose 1997 book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plum Island,â&#x20AC;? about a fictional detective investigating the murders of two biologists who worked at the lab, said in an interview with The Associated Press this week that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like the government to retain ownership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most obvious thing to do would be to make it into a federal park and

BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Pakistani man arrested in Massachusetts during the investigation into the failed Times Square bombing had the primary suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone number and first name in his cell phone and written on an envelope, a government attorney said Thursday. Aftab Khan, a gas station attendant, had the items in his belongings in his Watertown, Mass., apartment, said Richard Neville, deputy chief counsel for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Boston. Neville revealed the information in court Thursday as he tried to persuade a U.S. immigration judge to keep Khan in the United States. Khan was one of three Pakistani men arrested on immigration violations last week as federal agents followed the money trail in their investigation into Faisal Shahzad, who is accused of trying â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and failing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to set off a car bomb in Times Square on May 1.

Leading indicators slip 0.1 percent

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A private research groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gauge of future U.S. economic activity unexpectedly slipped in April, the first decline in more than a year and a sign that growth could slow this summer, weighing on hiring. The Conference Board said Thursday its index of leading economic indicators edged down 0.1 percent last month, the first drop since March 2009. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a gain of 0.2 percent. The index is designed to forecast economic activity in the next three to six months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slower growth is likely in store for the second half of the year as the boost from inventories fades away,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Quinlan, economist at Wells Fargo Securities, in a research note.

DeMille is hardly nostalgic about the lab moving to Kansas, calling Plum Island â&#x20AC;&#x153;a terrorist target waiting to happen.â&#x20AC;? His concerns were shared by federal officials. The U.S. Government Accountability Office told Congress in a 2007 security report that Plum Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vulnerability was apparent after the 9/11 terror attacks. The GAO said new laws and rules were enacted, tightening access to the facility to help protect animal health and reduce the possibility of bioterrorism. Plum Island was transferred from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to the Department of Homeland Security and plans were begun to replace it with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;higher-level biosecurity facility.â&#x20AC;? The GAO said Plum

Island scientists research such pathogens as footand-mouth disease, which is highly contagious to livestock and could cause â&#x20AC;&#x153;catastrophic economic lossesâ&#x20AC;? and imperil the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food supply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other pathogens known to have been maintained at Plum Island could also cause illness and death in humans,â&#x20AC;? the GAO said. Amy Kudwa, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, which operates the island,

declined to provide specific details of security, but said it includes security patrols, checkpoints, cameras, radar, locks and fences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The closer you get to the items you want to protect, the more intense the security becomes,â&#x20AC;? she said. Before any discussions about development at Plum Island can proceed, officials must first determine the extent of any damage to the soil and water, environmentalist Adrienne Esposito said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time a government facility is cloaked in secrecy, you have to wonder about what went on,â&#x20AC;? said Esposito, executive director of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more you look, the more you find. This would be the first time a comprehensive examination of the island would be pursued.â&#x20AC;? U.S. Rep. Timothy Bishop, whose district includes Plum Island, is not convinced the move to Kansas is a good idea. He said in a letter to a House homeland security subcommittee this week that the sale of Plum Island could fetch $50 million to $80 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not counting cleanup costs. Bishop said that would hardly cover the costs of building a new $650 million lab in Kansas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before we cross a point of no return, I want everyone to open their eyes and look at what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing here,â&#x20AC;? Bishop said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather

than pour hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars down a sinkhole in Kansas and open the Pandoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Box of decommissioning Plum Island, we should ... make use of existing facilities that continue to serve this nation well.â&#x20AC;? Last year, Congress appropriated $32 million for a new 520,000-square-foot National Bio and AgroDefense Facility in Kansas, most of it for planning and design, though it did order a safety study. The new lab will allow research on diseases that can be passed from animals to humans, something currently not done at Plum Island. The safety study was prompted by some who questioned the wisdom of opening an animal disease lab in the so-called Beef Belt because hoof and mouth and other contagious diseases are researched by Agriculture Department scientists. But for now, the move to Kansas appears on track, which leaves the future of Plum Island an open question.

2 officers killed in traffic stop

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two Arkansas police officers were fatally shot Thursday during a traffic stop, and a short time later, the suspects were killed in a separate shootout with the local sheriff and a deputy, authorities said. The sheriff and chief deputy were wounded in the shootout and were taken to a hospital, authorities said.

The two West Memphis police officers were killed after pulling over a white van on Interstate 40 Thursday afternoon, authorities said. It was not immediately clear why they pulled over the van that had Ohio license plates and what led to the police being shot. The suspects fled the scene, and were later stopped at a nearby WalMart parking lot. They

then got into a shootout with the Crittenden County sheriff and his deputy, and the suspects were fatally shot, authorities said. One witness described the scene on Interstate 40 as â&#x20AC;&#x153;chaos.â&#x20AC;? Stacy Gilchrist said she saw a police officer lying in the road when she pulled up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a disaster, cars were just going everywhere,â&#x20AC;? Gilchrist told

Memphis television station WMC. Sheriff Richard Busby, who was shot in the arm, and Deputy W.A. Wren, who was shot in the abdomen, were taken to a local hospital, Memphis, Tenn., Safety Director Larry Godwin said. Busbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition was not immediately known while Wren was in critical condition, a spokesman at the Regional Medical Center said.

SCIENCE

New manmade DNA powers cells

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Scientists announced a bold step Thursday in the enduring quest to create artificial life. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve produced a living cell powered by manmade DNA. While such work can invoke images of Frankenstein-like scientific tinkering, it also is exciting hopes that it could eventually lead to new fuels, better ways to clean polluted water, faster vaccine production and more. Is it really an artificial life form? The inventors call it the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first synthetic cell, although this initial step is more a re-creation of existing life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; changing one simple type of bacterium into another â&#x20AC;&#x201D; than a built-fromscratch kind. But Maryland genome-mapping pioneer J. Craig Venter said his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project paves the way for the ultimate, much harder goal: designing organisms that work differently from the way nature intended for a wide range of uses. Already heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working with ExxonMobil in hopes of turning algae into fuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first selfreplicating species weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had on the planet whose parent is a computer,â&#x20AC;? Venter told reporters. And the report, being published Friday in the

journal Science, is triggering excitement in this growing field of synthetic biology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time coming, and it was worth the wait,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. George Church, a Harvard Medical School genetics professor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a milestone that has potential practical applications.â&#x20AC;? Scientists for years have moved single genes and even large chunks of DNA from one species to another. At his J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Md., and San Diego, Venterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team aimed to go further. A few years ago, the researchers transplanted an entire natural genome â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the genetic code â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of one bacterium into another and watched it take over, turning a goat germ into a cattle germ. Next, the researchers built from scratch another, smaller bacteriumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s genome, using off-theshelf laboratory-made DNA fragments. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report combines those two achievements to test a big question: Could synthetic DNA really take over and drive a living cell? Somehow, it did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is transforming life totally from one species into another by changing the software,â&#x20AC;? said Venter, using a computer analogy to explain the DNAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role.

The researchers picked two species of a simple germ named Mycoplasma. First, they chemically synthesized the genome of M. mycoides, that goat germ, which with 1.1 million â&#x20AC;&#x153;lettersâ&#x20AC;? of DNA was twice as large as the germ genome theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d previously built. Then they transplanted it into a living cell from a different Mycoplasma species, albeit a fairly close cousin. At first, nothing happened. The team scrambled to find out why, creating a genetic version of a computer proofreading program to spell-check the DNA fragments theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d pieced together. They found that a typo in the genetic code was rendering the manmade DNA inactive, delaying the project three months to find and restore that bit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows you how accurate it has to be, one letter out of a million,â&#x20AC;? Venter said. That fixed, the transplant worked. The recipient cell started out with synthetic DNA and its original cytoplasm, but the new genome â&#x20AC;&#x153;booted upâ&#x20AC;? that cell to start producing only proteins that normally would be found in the copied goat germ. The researchers had tagged the synthetic DNA to be able to tell it apart, and checked as the modified cell reproduced to confirm that new cells really looked and behaved like M. mycoides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All elements in the

cells after some amount of time can be traced to this initial artificial DNA. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great accomplishment,â&#x20AC;? said biological engineer Ron Weiss of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Even while praising the accomplishment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;biomolecular engineering of the highest order,â&#x20AC;? declared David Deamer of the University of California, Santa Cruz â&#x20AC;&#x201D; many specialists say the work hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet crossed the line of truly creating new life from scratch. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partially synthetic, some said, because Venterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team had to stick the manmade genetic code inside a living cell from a related species. That cell was more than just a container; it also contained its own cytoplasm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the liquid part. In other words, the synthetic part was â&#x20AC;&#x153;running on the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;hardwareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the modern cell,â&#x20AC;? University of Southern Denmark physics professor Steen Rasmussen wrote in the journal Nature, which on Thursday released essays of both praise and caution from eight leaders in the field. The environmental group Friends of the Earth said the new work took â&#x20AC;&#x153;genetic engineering to an extreme new levelâ&#x20AC;? and urged that Venter stop until government regulations are put in place to protect against these kind of engineered microbes escaping into the environment.

Senate breaks impasse on finance regulation bill WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Barely breaking a logjam, the Senate ended debate on a massive financial regulation bill, clearing the way for final passage of a top Obama administration priority. The vote was 60-40, the minimum needed to succeed. Three Republicans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Maine Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; voted for the bill. Two Democrats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sens. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin and Maria Cantwell of Washington â&#x20AC;&#x201D; voted with Republicans against the measure. At least two contentious amendments remained before the Senate could vote to approve the sweeping bill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., expressed hope of completing the legislation later Thursday. The bill, the most ambitious effort to write rules for Wall Street since the Great Depression, calls for new ways to watch for risks in the financial system and makes it easier to liquidate large failing financial firms. It also writes new rules for complex securities blamed for helping precipitate the 2008 economic crisis, and it creates a new consumer protection agency. Democrats succeeded by winning Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backing. The Massachusetts Republican voted against ending debate on Wednesday after indicating he planned to vote in its favor. Without his vote, and with Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter absent, the bill temporarily stalled.

Maine Sen. Snowe lauds high court nominee Kagan WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan criticized a campaign finance ruling in a case she argued for the Obama administration and considers abortion rights to be settled law, according to a GOP senator who met with her Thursday. Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, asked whether Republicans could support Kagan, said the nominee â&#x20AC;&#x153;certainly has the qualifications, and certainly has, I think, the balance in her approach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least so far â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to wait and see.â&#x20AC;?

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; They just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay away. Michaele and Tareq Salahi, the party crashers from the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first state dinner, managed to get themselves a cameo on the fringes of the second. The publicity-hungry couple were in a limousine that was stopped by a Secret Service officer just blocks from the White House on Wednesday night as the Obamasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second state dinner was under way inside. Their driver was ticketed about 8 p.m. EDT after running a red light and signaling an intent to turn into a restricted area near the Ellipse, located behind the White House, according to Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan. The incident didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to put a damper on the Salahisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spirits. The northern Virginia couple and a group of friends next popped up at a restaurant a few blocks from the White House â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with photographers and cameras in tow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a great time with their friends,â&#x20AC;? said Athina Balda, marketing manager for Kellari Taverna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of cameras and photographers.â&#x20AC;?

In their private meeting, Kagan stressed the importance of judicial restraint and deference to Congress by the high court, and discussed abortion rights, Snowe said. The senator was one of seven Republicans who joined Democrats last year in voting to confirm Kagan as solicitor general, the top government lawyer who argues the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cases before the Supreme Court. Abortion rights supporters are concerned about a memo Kagan wrote as a White House aide in 1997 urging President Bill Clinton to back a ban on late-term abortions. Kagan, President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice to succeed the retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, visited senators in both parties ahead of hearings on her nomination that are set to begin June 28. The meetings included Democrats and two Republicans seen as potential supporters, Snowe and Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, who also voted for Kagan last time.

n â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrek Forever After,â&#x20AC;? Shrek, Donkey, Fiona, and the rest of DreamWorks Animationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flagship franchise get together for one last (?) misadventure designed to save the land of Far, Far Away and sell Happy Meals (not necessarily in that order). In other words, what was once a worthy rival to Pixar for the hearts and minds of kids and parents alike has fully gone the route of a transparent money grab. One year into parenthood and Ăźber-celebrity, the titular jolly green ogre (voiced by Mike Myers) is having a midlife crisis, weary of the domestic everyday and nostalgic over those halcyon days spent scaring villagers and relaxing in mud bathes.

everything he did in the first film â&#x20AC;&#x201D; befriend Donkey (Eddie Murphy), fall in love with Fiona (Cameron Diaz), and be the hero. The changes are cosmetic: Alt-Fiona is the Joan of Arc leader of a band of ogre freedom fighter rebelling against Rumpelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evil empire; Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) is now a fat feline unable to lick himself and unwilling to chase mice away from its milk bowl; and, director Mike Mitchell presents the one-dimensional storyline in now-ubiquitous 3-D, a medium weakly shoehorned into what was already one of the trendsetters in lifelike CGI animated filmmaking. Frankly, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrekâ&#x20AC;? films havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been good since Adam Adamson

stopped directing them. While not as noxious as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrek the Third,â&#x20AC;? this installment is innocuous kiddie entertainment. Unfortunately, anyone who remembers the first two movies would and should expect more. In the end, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrek Forever Afterâ&#x20AC;? is a lot like the portly Puss â&#x20AC;&#x201D; still able to amuse but a largely a lazy shadow of its former self.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A judge issued a warrant Thursday for Lindsay Lohanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest after the actress missed a mandatory hearing, and authorities say she could be arLohan rested at the airport when she returns from the Cannes Film Festival. Bail was set at $100,000. The 23-year-old actress was due in court for a progress report on her probation stemming from two arrests in 2007. Her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, said Lohanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passport was stolen while she was at the Cannes Film Festival and was unable to return to Los Angeles in time for Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She did, in fact, have airline tickets,â&#x20AC;? Holley told the judge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From our standpoint, there is a valid reason for her not being here today.â&#x20AC;? Holley said Lohan would be back in the United States by Friday evening. Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t satisfied, saying the star has a history of missing scheduled appointments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If she wanted to be here, it looks to the court that she could have been here,â&#x20AC;?

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Emmy rules exemption will give the talent behind Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extended-length â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? finale the chance to compete for awards. The TV academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of governors voted Wednesday night to make the upcoming â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? finale eligible for acting, directing and other individual honors despite the episodeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-and-a-halfhour length. The academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice president for awards, John Leverence, says the ABC dramaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producers had notified the academy that the show would exceed the running time allowed under Emmy rules. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lostâ&#x20AC;? finale airs 9 p.m. Sunday on ABC.

Parent group angry as title of CBS show

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A parents group is threatening CBS affiliates with challenges to their broadcast licenses if they air the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new comedy with a title that alludes to an obscenity. The Parents Television Council, which monitors decency issues, criticized CBS for picking up a comedy series called â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Bleep) My Dad Saysâ&#x20AC;? that is based on a popular Twitter feed. Instead of the word, the CBS title uses a series of symbols. The group says it will challenge the broadcast license of any CBS affiliate that airs the series or promotions for it before 10 p.m. CBS has scheduled the comedy for Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. It stars William Shatner as the father whose politically incorrect musings are put out on Twitter by his son. Tim Winter, president of the Los Angeles-based organization, said he was aware that CBS was developing a series based on the Twitter sensation, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine that a network would actually name a program either with an expletive or with the expletive ostensibly bleeped out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking here not about a Twitter feed, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about broadcast television that requires a license to use the airwaves,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said he was concerned about parents confronted by promotions for the series when they are watching television with their children. CBS pointed out that the Twitter feed, which uses the obscenity, has more than 1.5 million followers and has spawned a book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will in no way be indecent and will adhere to all CBS standards,â&#x20AC;? spokesman Phil Gonzales said.

Mexico’s Calderon criticizes Arizona immigration law By JIM ABRAMS Associated Press Writer

AP Photo

Mexican president Felipe Calderon addresses a joint meeting of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington Thursday. Behind him is Vice President Joe Biden, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif. “core values we all care about are breached.” Arizona’s senior Republican senator, John McCain was not present at the joint meeting, while the office of Jon Kyl, the other Arizona senator, did not respond immediately to inquiries about whether Kyl was present. McCain attended a lunch with Calderon at the State Department Wednesday. McCain issued a statement that it was “unfortunate and disappointing the president of Mexico chose to criticize the state of Arizona by weighing in on a U.S. domestic policy issue during a trip that was meant to reaffirm the unique relationship between our two countries.” And broaching another highly sensitive issue, Calderon urged Congress to restore a ban on assault weapons, saying easy access to high-powered

AT JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS

WASHINGTON — Mexican President Felipe Calderon took his opposition to a new Arizona immigration law to Congress Thursday, saying it “ignores a reality that cannot be erased by decree.” Calderon’s comments on the Arizona law and his request that Congress do something about the availability of high-powered weapons along the border drew criticism from several lawmakers saying he was interfering in U.S. internal matters. The Mexican leader also told lawmakers reluctant to take up the immigration issue this year that comprehensive immigration reform is crucial to securing the two countries’ common border. Calderon, the first foreign national leader to address Congress this year, said he strongly disagrees with the Arizona law that requires police to question people about their immigration status if there’s reason to suspect they are in the country illegally. “It is a law that not only ignores a reality that cannot be erased by decree but also introduces a terrible idea using racial profiling as a basis for law enforcement,” he said to cheers, mainly from the Democratic side of the chamber. Speaking in English, he warned of the risk when

weapons is contributing to drug-related violence along the border. Calderon also took up the Arizona law in a meeting Wednesday with President Barack Obama, who referred to the law as a “misdirected expression of frustration.” The Mexican leader said his country was doing its best, by promoting more jobs and opportunities at home, to reduce the flow of immigrants to the United States. But he stressed the “need to fix a broken and inefficient system ... the time has come to reduce the causes of migration and to turn this phenomenon into a legal, ordered and secure flow of workers and visitors.” Obama is pressing lawmakers to take up legislation that would deal with border security, employment and citizenship. It

is questionable whether Congress, in an election year, has an inclination to tackle such a highly sensitive issue. Calderon also got a standing ovation from Democrats when he asked the United States to stop the flow of assualt weapons and other arms across the border and reinstate the ban on many assault weapons that was enacted in 1994 but allowed to expire during the George W. Bush presidency. He said there are more than 7,000 gun shops along the border where almost anyone can purchase weapons. Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn said it was inappropriate for Calderon to lecture Americans on state and local law. He defended the Arizona law and added: “moreover, the Second Amendment is not a subject open for diplomatic negotiation, with Mexico or any other nation.” Calderon led off his 40minute speech by emphasizing Mexico’s war against narcotics traffickers that has left roughly 23,000 dead since the end of 2006. But he added that “we cannot ignore the fact that the challenge to our security has roots on both sides of the border.” He cited a statement from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton that, At the end of the day, it is high demand for drugs in the United States and elsewhere that drives much of the illicit trade.

Picasso nabbed in $123 million Paris museum heist PARIS (AP) — A broken alarm system made it as easy as 1-2-3: A masked intruder clipped a padlock, smashed a window and stole a Picasso, a Matisse and three other masterpieces from a Paris museum Thursday — a $123 million haul that is one of the world’s biggest art heists. Offloading the artwork may prove a tougher task, however, with Interpol and collectors worldwide now on high alert. In what seemed like an art thief’s fantasy, the alarm system had been broken since March in parts of the Paris Museum of Modern Art, according to the city’s mayor, Bertrand Delanoe. The museum, in a tony neighborhood across the Seine River from the Eiffel Tower, reopened in 2006 after spending $18 million (euro15 million) and two years upgrading its security system. Spare parts had been ordered to fix the alarm but had not yet arrived, the mayor said in a statement. The stolen works included Picasso’s “Le pigeon aux petits-pois” (The Pigeon with the Peas), an ochre-toned Cubist oil painting worth an estimated $28 million, and La Pastorale” (Pastoral), a pastel-hued oil painting of nudes on a hillside by Henri Matisse worth about $17.5 million, Girard said.

N. Korea warns of war if punished for ship sinking SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea, accused of waging the deadliest attack on the South Korean military since the Korean War,

flatly denied sinking a warship Thursday and warned that retaliation would mean “all-out war.” Evidence presented Thursday to prove North Korea fired a torpedo that sank a South Korean ship was fabricated by Seoul, North Korean naval spokesman Col. Pak In Ho told broadcaster APTN in an exclusive interview in Pyongyang. He warned that any move to sanction or strike North Korea would be met with force. “If (South Korea) tries to deal any retaliation or punishment, or if they try sanctions or a strike on us .... we will answer to this with all-out war,” he told APTN.

3 Americans jailed in Iran reunite with their moms TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Three Americans jailed in Iran for 10 months embraced their mothers and spoke of their life in Tehran’s most dreaded prison Thursday in an emotional reunion that Iranian authorities broadcast on a main international channel. The women hope their weeklong visit will secure the release of Sarah Shourd, 31; her boyfriend, Shane Bauer, 27; and their friend Josh Fattal, 27. The mothers threw their arms in the air and rushed to embrace their children as they entered a room at a high-rise hotel that overlooks the Evin Prison where the three have been held. They cried, laughed and kissed. The conservative Islamic head scarves worn by the mothers slipped back and bouquets of flowers were set aside as they sat together and began to reconstruct their lives since last summer.

NCHSAA STATE TOURNAMENT: LEE COUNT Y Y ELLOW JACKETS

ARMSTRONG DENIES LANDIS ALLEGATIONS (AP) — Disgraced U.S. cyclist Floyd Landis revealed new cheating allegations in a series of messages to sponsors and officials, alleging that former teammate Lance Armstrong not only joined him in doping but taught others how to beat the system and paid an official to keep a failed test quiet. With international cycling season in full swing, Landis admitted for the first time what had long been suspected — that he was guilty of doping for several years before being stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title. His fresh accusations, contained in e-mails sent last month, prompted Armstrong to hold an impromptu press conference Thursday at the Tour of California. “If you said, ’Give me one word to sum this all up,’ credibility,” the seven-time Tour de France winner said. “Floyd lost his credibility a long time ago.” “We have nothing to hide. We have nothing to run from,” said Armstrong, who later quit the race to go to a hospital for X-rays after crashing just outside of Visalia, Calif. Team spokesman Philippe Maertens told The Associated Press that Armstrong got stitches in the left elbow and under the left eye. Though Landis lost his title, he denied cheating until now, and his recent e-mails detail his blood doping. “I want to clear my conscience,” Landis told ESPN.com. “I don’t want to be part of the problem any more.” He claims that Armstrong and longtime coach Johan Bruyneel paid an International Cycling Union official to cover-up a test in 2002 after Armstrong purportedly tested positive for the blood-boosting drug EPO. The UCI, however, denied changing or concealing a positive test result.

NFL FAVRE: HE’LL RETURN TO NFL IS SOUTHERN MISS REACHES CWS

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — Brett Favre says he still isn’t sure what he’s doing next season, but he may have given some indication after visiting with the Southern Miss baseball team. The Minnesota Vikings quarterback told the Golden Eagles on Thursday morning that if they can make it back to the College World Series for the second straight year, he will return for one more season in the NFL. Favre has left fans hanging since the Vikings lost to New Orleans in the NFC Championship game. He signed a twoyear contract with the Vikings before last season. Coach Brad Childress hasn’t talked with Favre recently except by text message. Southern Miss players have a lot of work to do if they want to force Favre into action. They are 30-20 and need wins to earn a postseason invitation.

Conrad’s slam caps Braves’ 7-run rally By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — Brooks Conrad slowed up as he rounded first base, unsure if his drive had cleared the left field wall to give the Atlanta Braves an improbable victory. Then he saw Laynce Nix swat at his empty glove in

frustration. The ball went over. Game over. Conrad hit a pinch-hit grand slam Thursday to finish off a seven-run ninth inning that gave the Atlanta Braves a 10-9 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, who fell out of first in the NL Central and can only

hope the stunning loss doesn’t leave a hangover on their surprisingly strong start. “It was a horrible ending,” said Reds manager Dusty Baker, who appeared close to breaking down after the game. “Boy, that was a tough one.” The Braves put together the biggest ninth-inning comeback

since Cleveland rallied from six runs down against Tampa Bay on May 25, 2009, according to STATS LLC. “I hit it and I was kind of talking to it to get out of there and I saw (Nix) jump up,” Conrad said. “From my angle ... it

POP WARNER Football and cheerleading sign-ups scheduled

NBA DRAFT

Wall, Turner already in tight competition CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Already, John Wall is thinking about the possibilities. He can envision looking toward the home crowd and seeing President Barack Obama in the stands, cheering him on as he tries to resurrect the Washington Wizards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would be big time,â&#x20AC;? he said. That would also describe the task at hand if he winds up in Washington, where the Wizards are coming off a brutal 26-56 season that included the death of longtime owner Abe Pollin and Gilbert Arenasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suspension for bringing guns into the Verizon Center locker room. They finally got some good news on Tuesday when they won the draft lottery, and now, they have a decision to make. Do they take Wall, the dynamic freshman point guard from Kentucky or Evan Turner, the national player of the year for Ohio State? Or

someone else? The NBA draft is June 24, and while Wall appears to be the frontrunner, Turner isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t conceding. Whoever doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get picked by Washington, could wind up with Philadelphia at No. 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a goal for everybody growing up as a kid,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to be the one picked. If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen that way, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be cool with it. As long as I get to play in the NBA, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my dream come true.â&#x20AC;? The same goes for Wall. The two figure to have some explosive matchups when they meet in the NBA, though the competition playing out at the moment is pretty intense, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they could choose between two really good players,â&#x20AC;? Turner said Thursday at the NBA draft combine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great player, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smart, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice

guy.â&#x20AC;? Wall was a highlight reel staple last season while leading Kentucky to a 35-3 record, the SEC regularseason and conference tournament titles and the NCAA regional finals in its first season under coach John Calipari. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 16.6 points and 6.5 assists per game and was SEC player of the year. Now, he has a chance to be taken with the No.1 pick after one year in college, just like another spectacular point guard who played for Calipari â&#x20AC;&#x201D; All-Star Derrick Rose, who went to the Bulls in 2008 after a year at Memphis. If Wall doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to Washington? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really be too surprised,â&#x20AC;? Wall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people say I should be the pick. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I feel for myself. I work hard all year, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to keep working hard. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatever the organization needs for their team at that time.â&#x20AC;?

SANFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Lee County Pop Warner Association will be conducting sign-ups from 9 a.m.-to-noon on Saturday at the Central Carolina Community College gym. Parents need to bring a copy of their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth certificate. The cost of participation for tackle football and cheerleading is $65 and flag football is $15.00.

Lakers rolling over Suns

SPORTS BRIEFS Canseco to appear before Clemens grand jury June 3

PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A week ago, the Phoenix Suns were talking about how they no longer were marshmallows on defense, that this team had a toughness its predecessors sorely lacked. That idea was buried by a scoring avalanche in Los Angeles, where the Lakers amassed a total of 252 points to go up 2-0 in the Western Conference finals, shooting 58 percent in each game. Now the Suns have three days before Game 3 in Phoenix to try to figure out how to slow a team that seems primed for another title. Neither team practiced on Thursday. Both will resume workouts on Friday in preparation for Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest. The Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pau Gasol acknowledged that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it must be frustratingâ&#x20AC;? for the Suns to essentially be beaten at their own highscoring, hot-shooting game. He expects a stiffer challenge as the series shifts to Phoenix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take a much bigger mindset or focus to go there and be successful and put the type of games and wins that we put in here,â&#x20AC;? Gasol said. History certainly is against the Suns. The Lakers are 41-1 when they are up 2-0 in a bestof-seven series. Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson is 46-0 when his teams have won the first two games of a series. And no team has come back from 0-2 to win the West finals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not about to give up,â&#x20AC;? Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;... You know when we won our two home games against San Antonio (in the conference semifinals), everybody just said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, the only thing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done is what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So the only thing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done is what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to do. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go with that.â&#x20AC;?

SEATTLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ken Griffey Jr. awakened with a game-winning, pinch-hit single to cap Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-run rally off AL saves leader Kevin Gregg in the ninth, and the Mariners ended a five-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. Griffeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammates mobbed him between first and second base nine days after coming to his defense following a report that he was unavailable to pinch-hit in an earlier loss because he was sleeping in the clubhouse. Ichiro Suzuki and Mike Sweeney gave him big, extended hugs in the dugout. It was the 10th game-ending hit of the 40-year-old Griffeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career. And it was the first game-ending hit of Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointing season. Tigers 5, Athletics 2 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Miguel Cabrera and Magglio Ordonez both drove in two runs for Detroit, and Jeremy Bonderman won for the first time in over a month.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jose Cansecoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance before the grand jury investigating Roger Clemens is now scheduled for June 3. Canseco will testify before the panel that will decide whether to indict Clemens for lying under oath to Congress. Canseco was originally scheduled to testify in April, then it was pushed back to May. His lawyer, Andrew Kirsh, said scheduling issues forced another postponement to June. The grand jury is reviewing Clemensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; testimony before a congressional committee in 2008, when the seventime Cy Young Award winner denied using steroids or human growth hormone. Canseco has previously claimed he introduced several players to performanceenhancing drugs, but the retired slugger has said he has no knowledge of Clemens using them.

The person said the official announcement was likely to come Friday. Terms were not immediately available. Team president Ed Stefanski interviewed Collins on May 1, and he emerged as the leading candidate to replace the fired Eddie Jordan. The pool of candidates included former Dallas coach Avery Johnson and Toronto coach Sam Mitchell.

Thomas retires as a Dolphin MIAMI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Zach Thomas got the idea Wednesday, thinking maybe he could sign a one-day contract with the Miami Dolphins and retire as part of the franchise. His agent asked the Dolphins. Thomas got his answer within minutes. So on Thursday, Thomas signed a one-day contract, officially worth $1 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but in actuality, worth so much more to Thomas, who long lamented not getting the chance to say a proper farewell when the Dolphins released him two years ago. With that, he finally said good-bye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little bit nervous right now,â&#x20AC;?

around and held off fourth-seeded Hoke County 2-1 in the second round to win their third straight game on Tuesday night. Sound familiar? That’s because it’s similar to the run that the Lee County Yellow Jackets have made in the postseason. The Yellow Jackets cruised past Millbrook 14-4 in the first round and then held off Richmond County 2-0 in the second round on Tuesday night to win their sixth straight game. The two programs, both sporting identical 14-10 records, will meet in the third round of high school baseball’s Sweet 16 tonight for a spot in the sectional round. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. in Raleigh. “Broughton is just like us,” said Lee County head coach Charlie Spivey. “They had a 12-10 record headed into the playoffs and then won two games that a lot of people probably didn’t expect them to win. They’re a lot like us and are in a similar situation as we are.” In Broughton’s 2-1 victory over Hoke County, the Capitals were paced by starting pitcher Will Watkins, who threw a complete game to earn his second straight win of the postseason. Sound familiar? Lee County’s Dillon

Frye also pitched a gem on Tuesday night. Frye threw a complete game three-hit shutout in Tuesday’s victory over Richmond County. He struck out seven of the final nine batters he faced, including three straight in the bottom of the seventh. He finished with 13 strikeouts on the night. On the mound tonight for the Yellow Jackets will be the well-rested sophomore Nick Durazo, who is making his first start of the postseason. The lefty is pitching in his first game in over two weeks. “Nick’s going to have plenty of rest and that should be an advantage for us,” said Spivey. “He should be just fine. He’s thrown off the mound for us but just hasn’t gotten into the game. His arm should be loose and he should be ready to go.” Durazo’s had his share of big wins for the Yellow Jackets this season. In a 9-3 victory over crosstown rival Southern Lee, Durazo threw five innings while striking out 10. In a 6-2 win over Tri-9 Conference rival Panther Creek, Durazo struck out eight in 4 2/3 innings of work. “Nick’s certainly got the ability on the mound to do huge things for us,” said Spivey. “He’s shown that to us on many occasions this season. We’re hoping he can give us one more big outing.” Due to the funeral of Lee County student Josh Britt on Wednesday, Spivey gave his boys the day off from practice. Headed into tonight’s game,

the Yellow Jackets have had just one full day of practice to prepare for the Capitals, the fourth seed from the Cap-7 Conference who have qualified for the postseason in each of the last five years. “We’ve been practicing all year and this group is really good at preparation,” said Spivey. “At this point of the season, practice is useful. It’s a time for us to keep our focus. We just worked on some situational stuff as we try and stay sharp.” In the opening round, Lee County made quick work of Millbrook, which was the No. 1 seed from Broughton’s Cap-7 Conference. Spivey says that despite beating Broughton’s conference foe, everything is different at this stage. “There are no advantages right now,” said Spivey. “Everyone is in the same boat at this point of the season. There’s a reason we’ve all made it this far. Everyone’s playing for one last shot and one more opportunity to play.” And that’s what Spivey and his boys are going to do. They’re just going to play, just like they always do. “Anything can happen in one game,” said Spivey. “Our kids know that. We’re approaching this game no different than we’ve approached any of our other games. We’re just going to go out there and play.” The Jackets can expect the same from Broughton.

helmet and said, ’No way he caught that.”’ He didn’t. “I thought I had it,” Nix said. “It just bounced out.” Atlanta fell behind 8-0 against rookie sensation Mike Leake and was still down 9-3 heading to the ninth. Four straight hits, including Nate McLouth’s tworun single, gave the Braves hope. A walk to David Ross loaded the bases with no outs, bringing the potential tying run to the plate. Martin Prado hit a grounder to third that looked like a sure double play, but Miguel Cairo couldn’t get the ball out of his glove — Cincinnati’s fourth error of the game.

outs. Instead, Conrad hit a drive that deflected off Nix’s glove as he reached over the top of the wall at the 380foot sign. Standing near the mound, Cordero ripped out his jersey and looked toward the dugout in disbelief. The Braves won their third straight game in the final at-bat, beating the Reds 5-4 with Heyward’s ninthinning double Wednesday. Atlanta has won eight of 10 to climb above .500 (21-20) for the first time since April 22. The remarkable rally overshadowed Joey Votto’s first career grand slam, the highlight of Cincinnati’s eight-run second inning, and Leake’s attempt to improve to 5-0. Craig Kimbrel (1-0) quietly picked up his first major league win with a scoreless ninth. Leake certainly did his part, allowing only one earned run on five hits in six innings. He gave up three runs in all, but the

others could be blamed on a leaky defense that eventually caught up with the Reds. Right-fielder Jay Bruce fumbled away a fly ball at the warning track, and shortstop Orlando Cabrera dropped a throw on a potential double-play grounder. Cabrera also mishandled a hard-hit grounder in the ninth, a play that was generously ruled a hit. “We gave them their first three runs, and in the ninth we got two double-play balls,” Baker said. “It was shocking, all right.” Leake, one of the few players to jump directly to the majors without any major league experience, was matched against Tommy Hanson in a showdown between two of baseball’s best young pitchers. The Atlanta right-hander didn’t hold up his end of the expected duel, giving up eight hits and eight runs in 1 2-3 innings — easily the worst start of his big league career.

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Mom mistaken for cougar resents the growls she gets

HOROSCOPES Universal Press Syndicate

Happy Birthday: You can make money but only if you take a conservative approach. Younger and older friends or family members will cause some worries. Take over if it will relieve some of the responsibilities of others, as well as, your own stress. Accepting a position of authority for a cause you believe in will bring you clout. Your numbers are 6, 15, 27, 34, 35, 39, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may not feel like working but, once you get started, you will accomplish a lot and ease the stress you’ve been feeling. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or to discuss a matter of importance to you and the way you do things in the future.

Don’t be tempted to copy or to become a follower. You will get what you want in the end. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

Travel, learn and experiment with different lifestyles. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may have to deal with an unsavory issue at home, requiring you to be responsible for someone else’s chores. It will make you look good. A networking group will introduce you to someone who interests you personally and professionally. SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): You can make changes successfully.

Don’t be afraid to make a move if it allows you to try something you’ve wanted to do for some time. Make plans to do something special socially.

DEAR ABBY: I’m an athletic, youthful-looking 58, and my son, “Barry,” is 24. We go out alone for dinner quite often because my husband (Barry’s father) doesn’t enjoy eating in restaurants. My problem is the angry stares my son and I get from younger — and older — women who mistake me for a “cougar” out on a date with my “cub.” The other night when I left our table to use the restroom, a woman approached Barry, told him he was “disgusting,” and asked, “Why don’t you date girls your own age?” He informed her that I was his mother, but even if I wasn’t, it was none of her business. Another time, a girl Barry’s age asked him why he was out with “an old hag” and said, “How can you want her over me?” This happens every time we go out. I dress well and look like I could be in my 40s, but I have to wonder about the rudeness and ignorance of someone insulting my son without knowing the circumstances of the situation. Some of them refused to believe the truth even after Barry told them. Interestingly, young men who have commented thought it was “awesome” that Barry could be out with a cougar. It’s only the females who have a problem with us. Can you comment on this? — HAPPILY MARRIED MOM IN OHIO

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

don’t approach strangers with snide remarks like those you have repeated. The women were rude, presumptuous, probably envious — and I’ll bet they were also alone, because it’s hard to imagine a woman with a date doing something so outrageous. I’m not surprised that younger men might think it was “awesome” that your son could be out with a cougar. When the subject was raised in my column, the men who commented said what attracted them to older women was that they are confident, relaxed, comfortable with themselves and fun to be around — while younger women didn’t bother to be subtle about their preference for men with money. And one more thing: You must be quite a knockout to attract the kind of attention you’re getting.

DEAR MOM: Some thoughts do come to mind: Women who are happy in their personal lives

o DEAR ABBY: I am a 19-year-old

guy who doesn’t know what I want to do with my life. I know I’m still young and shouldn’t stress out about what my career in life will be, but nothing seems to interest me. I don’t want to be a doctor or an astronomer like some do. I can’t cook or play any instruments, and I’m not very good with numbers. I have thought of hundreds of careers — and I hate them all. I don’t want to do something I will hate for the rest of my life, but I’m afraid that’s what will happen. I have been to three different counselors and none was able to help me. I’m hoping you can offer me some advice. — HOPELESS IN CHANDLER, ARIZ. DEAR HOPELESS: You aren’t the first person to panic because he (or she) is afraid of being stuck in a career slot that doesn’t fit. The good news is one of the realities of today’s workplace is that in many cases, jobs no longer last a lifetime. Workers can expect to change jobs and be retrained several times -- or more -- during their working years. I hope this relieves some of your anxiety. Although you have decided what jobs do not interest you, nowhere have you mentioned any areas in which you excel. For that reason I’m advising you to go to your nearest community college career counseling center and ask to take some aptitude tests. People usually enjoy doing something they’re good at.

ODDS AND ENDS Police: Man cut across outfield to get concessions

MY ANSWER country’s Licensing Bureau said Thursday. Test anxiety is not linked to poor performance in real life. “It will remain safe on the roads,” she said.

ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a homeless man who said he was looking for the fastest route to a concession stand was arrested after walking onto the outfield during a minor league baseball game in Pennsylvania. Logan Township police say they’ll file criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness charges against 24-year-old Tyrone Squires over Tuesday night’s incident. Police say Squires is from Massachusetts but has no permanent address. Police say Squires lowered himself over a fence and onto the field during the bottom of the ninth inning during an Altoona Curve game against the Akron Aeros. Ballpark security allowed him to walk slowly along the outfield warning track and grabbed him as he exited near the Curve bullpen along the right field line.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — An inmate at Wisconsin’s maximum security prison will soon have four reasons to smile. An appeals court on Thursday ordered prison officials to give inmate Johnny Lacy four photographs of women in bikinis that he ordered through the mail. The court said the photographs were improperly withheld from Lacy under a prison policy banning pornography. Two of the photos show women sitting on the beach in bikinis and two others show the same woman standing in a pink bikini in front of a wall.

Dutch start driving exam for those who fear test

2 lambs found at Ohio school in apparent prank

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Some people flunk their driving tests because they can’t parallel park. Others flunk for not entering traffic safely. And an unlucky few flunk for fear of flunking itself. In response, the Netherlands has launched a special driving exam for people who suffer from acute test anxiety. Examiners try to put test-takers at ease. The exam pace is leisurely, and drivers are allowed to take a “time out” if the pressure becomes too much for them. But won’t this put people behind the wheel who are liable to freeze in the face of a stressful traffic situation? No, spokeswoman Irene Heldens of the

GREEN, Ohio (AP) — Two lambs that disappeared from an Ohio farm were left on the lawn of a high school with “2010” painted on their sides in an apparent prank. Schools Superintendent Michael Nutter says the 3-day-old lambs were not harmed by their visit Tuesday morning to Green High School, about 40 miles south of Cleveland. But he warns that the culprits won’t pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. School administrators are reviewing images captured from cameras inside and outside the school in hopes of identifying the pranksters. Nutter isn’t saying how they might be disciplined.

You can’t hide dishonesty from God Q: Last year, I earned some extra money working on the side and I didn’t see any reason for paying income tax on it this year. Several friends did the same, but my wife says this was wrong in God’s eyes. What does God have to do with taxes? That’s not a spiritual issue. -- R.McD. A: Paying taxes might not seem like a spiritual issue to you but in reality it is, because God is concerned about every area of our lives. In other words, don’t put God in a box (so to speak) that you only bring out once a week when you go to church. God is concerned about what we do the rest of the week also! In fact, He wants to rule every part of our lives, because He knows that if He doesn’t, we’ll only go astray and hurt ourselves. And remember: God knows all about us, including the things we think no one else knows. The Bible says, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account” (Hebrews 4:13). He knows our failures and the things we’ve done wrong. The Bible is clear: “Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue” (Romans 13:7). Even Jesus’ band of disciples paid taxes to the authorities (see Matthew 17:27). Our society is hurt when we fail to support our government’s services with our taxes. Do what is right and file an amended tax form.
