Residents near Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant to get KI pills

CLUB BUMBLEBEE SHOOTING

Year later, mother still grievesSuspects awaiting trial for 22-year-old’s murder at nightclubBy BILLY BALLbball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — All’s quiet at the Club Bumblebee today, or what’s left of the old Sanford hotspot. A year ago Monday, that was far from the case.

A 22-year-old Sanford woman had just been shot and killed in the parking lot of the then-bustling nightclub at 3002 Industrial Drive in the

early morning hours of April 26, 2009.

By all accounts, LaToyia Shantae McIntyre, out for a “ladies’ night” with her younger sister LaTishia, was just a bystander who hap-pened to get in between a shooter and their intended target.

The shooting started sometime around 2:15 a.m. that Sunday morning. LaToyia

McIntyre fell to the ground without making a sound.

According to LaTishia Mc-Intyre, it seemed LaToyia was just having another one of her periodic asthma attacks.

LaTishia tried to roust her, shouting that they needed to run because somebody had a gun.

No blood was visible, but

Man injured after stabbing with a screwdriver By BILLY BALLbball@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — A Sanford man suf-fered minor injuries when he was stabbed by a screwdriver-wielding attacker early Monday morning, police say.

The man, Roberto Cordova Presas, said he was walking near his home on the 300 block of McIver Street sometime around 1 a.m. Monday when another man jumped out of a white, four-door car and stabbed him with a screwdriver, according to Sgt. Harold Layton with the Sanford Police Department.

Presas was treated and released with only minor wounds from Central Caro-lina Hospital in Sanford, Layton said.

He said Presas did not know his at-tacker. Presas was not robbed.

Presas described his alleged assail-ant as a Hispanic male wearing a blue shirt and blue shorts, Layton said. No other information was given.

From staff reports

PITTSBORO — Chatham County will distribute potassium iodide (KI) tablets to residents located within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone of the Harris Nuclear Power Plant

Offi cials will offer drive-through distribution to people living within a 10-mile EPZ of the Shearon Harris plant between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Moncure School, located at 600 Moncure School Road.

The distribution will occur from 9 a.m. to 2 pm on Saturday, May 15, and is part of a joint preparedness plan-ning effort by Chatham, Harnett, Lee and Wake counties. The doses are being distributed to replace pills residents may currently have on hand that may expire soon or those who did not receive pills in the last distribution.

KI is an over-the-counter medica-tion that can protect the thyroid gland if a person is exposed to radioactive iodine released during an emergency at a nuclear power plant. If taken within the appropriate time and at the recom-

mended dose, KI blocks the thyroid from absorbing radioactive iodine and reduces the risk of thyroid cancer.

Offi cials warn that residents should not take the pills unless they are directed to do so in an emergency.

“We believe it is better to be prepared for an emergency ahead of time. Doing what we can to make sure residents who live within 10 miles of the plant have KI pills on hand if they ever need them is the best course of action,” said Chatham County Health Director Holly Coleman.

She added that “people should put their potassium iodide in a safe place once they get home, and NOT take these pills unless they are directed to do so by

Individuals who are allergic to iodine or with rare disorders, such as dermatitis herpetiformis and hypocomplement-emic vasculitis, that cause sensitivity to KI should not the pills.

Children are more vulnerable to the effects of radioactive iodine than adults and are more likely to develop thyroid cancer if exposed to radioactive iodine. Parents should

consult their health care provider if they have any questions about their children taking KI.

Taking KI as instructed in the event of a nuclear disaster is just one pre-cautionary measure. Offi -cials said the best course of action in a nuclear power plant emergency is to evacuate the area in a

safe and orderly way. “KI is not a substitute

for evacuation,” said Coleman.

The KI doses are provided to the State of North Carolina by the federal Nuclear Regula-tory Commission and distributed by counties to people living within the 10-mile EPZ at no cost.

LCHS student a semifi nalist for presidential award

SANFORD — A Lee Coun-ty High School senior has made it to the semifi nal round of one of the nation’s most coveted scholars programs.

John Grossfuss, a Lee County senior, is one of 560 semifi nalists nation-wide in the Presidential Scholars Program, a pro-gram press release said.

Winners of the academic honor, which is given based on schoolwork, leadership, character and community involvement, will be an-nounced in May by a panel of presidential appointees.

The panel will select one young man and one young woman from each state to be recognized and honored at a ceremony in Washing-ton, D.C.

While in the nation’s capital, scholars will meet with dignitaries, artists and scientists and visit national museums and monuments, the release said.

Those high school students competing for the program were initially selected based on their performance on standard-ized testing like the SAT.

Semifi nalists were chosen following an assessment of students’ essays, activi-ties, recommendations and school transcripts.

Siegner began his public health career with the Chatham County Public Health Department in 1993 as an Environmental Health Specialist; served as a Program Coordinator from 2001-2007 and was named Environmental Health Direc-tor in 2007.

A Lee County native, Sieg-ner is the son of Andrew Siegner II of Sanford. He graduated from Embry Rid-dle Aeronautical University, Daytona, Fla.

Habitat issues challenge to women volunteers

PITTSBORO — In the days leading up to Mother’s Day, construction crews of women volunteers will be pounding nails and raising walls at Habitat for Humani-ty construction sites across the country in recognition of National Women Build Week next week.

Lowe’s and Chatham Hab-itat for Humanity are seek-ing local women volunteers to work May 4 through May 7 at the Pittsboro con-struction site in Chatham County. No construction or home improvement experi-ence is necessary.

Volunteers can register for a work day and preview work day tasks by visiting http://chathamhabitat.volunteerhub.com. Work days are 8:30 a.m. - 3:30p.m, May 4 through May 7. Strong Women Organizing Outrageous Projects, Inc. (SWOOP) is signed on to work May 8. This organiza-tion of women supports local non-profi ts in realizing their missions.

The Mother’s Day time-frame was selected for its signifi cance to many volunteers, as families with children make up a stag-gering number of those in need of adequate housing: more than 12 million chil-dren — one in six — live in poverty housing in the United States alone.

To volunteer or donate to this project, please visit http://chathamhabitat.volunteerhub.com, call 919-542-0794 x 223, email gabyfornari@chatham-habitat.org, or visit www.chathamhabitat.org.

Police Beat

WASHINGTON — The politics of fi nancial regulatory reform are simple. After the meltdown and

the bailout, many Americans — perhaps most Americans — are inclined to see Wall Street as predatory and all-devouring. Strid-ing into the lion’s den and calling the beast to heel, as President Obama did Thursday, was a move without a downside.

Perhaps Obama could have scored more popularity points if he had ordered a few fi nanciers to be led out of the Cooper Union auditorium in handcuffs. Then again, in terms of candidates for a perp walk, there were pretty slim pickings: Many of Wall Street’s leading luminaries stayed away, perhaps out of pique at the notion that mere elected offi cials would have the gall to tell Masters of the Universe how to run their affairs.

“Unless your business model depends on bilking people, there’s little to fear from these new rules,” Obama said. Yet there is so much fear abroad in the land, or at least up and down Wall Street, that the big fi nancial institutions are shelling out millions to try to torpedo the reforms. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, JPMorgan Chase spent $1.5 million on lobbying during the fi rst quarter of the year, Citigroup spent $1.4 million and Goldman Sachs spent $1.15 million — for Goldman, a 70 percent in-crease over what the fi rm spent on lobbying during the fi rst quarter of 2009. Reasonable people might ask: Why all the worry?

Obama’s tone was not that of a sword-wielding avenger — he doesn’t do fi re and brimstone — but of a stern parent explain-ing to party-hearty teenagers why their driv-ing privileges are being curtailed.

The president obviously doesn’t want to take the keys away for good, however. While he correctly described the gigantic, largely opaque derivatives market as “highly lever-aged, loosely monitored gambling,” he went out of his way to say that he believes deriva-tives are useful instruments and that what he wants is to make the market transparent and accountable — not shut it down.

An effort in the Senate, spearheaded by Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., would put a much tighter straitjacket on derivatives trading than the president or Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner would like. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and other absent Wall Street titans should have done Obama the courtesy of attending his address. The president’s moderation may be all that stands between them and the righteous anger of a most ungrateful nation.

Obama didn’t really need to make a hard sell. It’s already apparent that despite the usual party-of-no bluster from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republi-cans realize that opposing tougher regula-tion of the fi nance industry is an untenable position. Sen. Charles Grassley has already

defected, and there is no enthusiasm among the GOP rank and fi le for taking the side of Wall Street against, basically, the rest of the country.

In terms of demagoguery, the best the Republicans have been able to come up with is a weak complaint that the Demo-crats’ proposals will not eliminate, for all eternity, the possibility of new bailouts of failing fi rms. “That makes for a good sound bite, but it’s not factually accurate. It is not true,” Obama said. “A vote for reform is a vote to put a stop to taxpayer-funded bailouts.”

The truth is that the Republicans’ no-bailouts pledge is absurd and that Obama’s no-bailouts pledge is less absurd but hardly ironclad. No one should believe anyone who says the U.S. government will never, ever, spend a dollar of the taxpayers’ money to rescue another fi nancial institution from its own greed and stupidity. Democrats want the fi nancial industry to put its own money into a $50 billion “resolution fund” to wind down failing fi rms. But if another November 2008 moment should arrive, heaven forbid, and it looks as if a wave of imminent failures will crash markets around the world, the White House and Congress will surely do whatever it takes to avert catastrophe.

After regulatory reform passes, Wall Street is still going to be a gambling den — less highly leveraged, more closely monitored, but still essentially a betting house. Anyone expecting truly fundamental change is going to be disappointed.

What has defi nitely changed, though, is the political atmosphere. The president is on the offensive now; his opponents are scrambling to decide how to react. Obama should thank the misbehaving lords of Wall Street, because they have given him a way to get his mojo back.

Last Thursday’s public hearing, held by the Lee County Board of Commissioners on the issue

of an additional $2.7 million in fund-ing for renovations at Lee County High School, was well-attended. Save for the one “against” speaker, those testifying “for” the additional funds — particularly the students from the school — provided emotional arguments for the much-need-ed renovations.

The arguments, though, didn’t always specifi cally address the borrowing piece of the equation. Unfortunately, neither did our commissioners.

The discussions after the hearing left a number of unanswered questions, particularly about how the additional bor-rowing will impact the county’s debt load and ability to service that debt with future

revenues. Commissioner Robert Reives’ question — essentially asking how the commissioners would pay for the borrow-ing — got a stammering reply from Com-mission Chairman Richard Hayes and some explanation from County Manager John Crumpton, who briefl y summarized and outlined the borrowing scenario in remarks at the start of the meeting. But as Reives said, it wasn’t “even close” to a real answer.

Commissioner Linda Shook, who ultimately cast the lone vote against the additional borrowing, then asked another legitimate question — this one about the county’s next fi scal budget and the renovation project’s impact on it. Before her question could be fully addressed, Commissioner Larry “Doc” Oldham inter-rupted, chastising Shook that the ques-

tion wasn’t about budgets, but schools.“That’s not a part of this discussion!”

he intoned.Really? Oldham may just as well have

said, “It doesn’t matter how we’ll pay for it! Don’t worry about it!”

As Crumpton, the county manager, tried to answer Shook, Oldham interrupt-ed again, incredibly calling the question and asking for a vote. Chairman Hayes, who presided, took the bait and in fact called the question — leaving Shook’s query, and Lee County taxpayers, dan-gling in the breeze.

It was a startling and egregious mistake by Hayes and a breach of etiquette, and good representative practice, by Oldham. For two men who campaigned on the need for open discussion and debate on the issues, the actions were a signifi cant

violation of trust. After the meeting, some commissioners were still asking — how are we going to pay for this?

Considering that a full 91 percent of Lee County’s debt load is tied up in K-12 projects, and that the county’s ability to borrow is diminished already, and that commissioners had already decided once on the scope of funding the project...and that there are lingering doubts about the economy’s prospects for improvement...well, the questions still deserved answers.

The community supports the renova-tion project. There’s little doubt about that. And Lee County has enough schools strained because of shortcuts during construction projects. But along the path to solve one problem, those who are foot-ing the bill deserve a little clarity from the board before another problem gets worse.

Titan over Wall Street

What about good answers to good questions?Editorial Board: Bill Horner III, Publisher • Billy Liggett, Editor • R.V. Hight, Special Projects Editor

Cowardly campaigning

To the Editor:On Thursday, April 15th, some county reg-

istered voters received letters accusing Lee County commissioner candidate James K. Womack of planning to eliminate funding for important recreational activities and middle school athletic programs. These letters were signed “AN INTERESTED CITIZEN” with no return address.

Since I am a member of the county’s Parks and Recreation board, I contacted Mr. Womack about his views on these issues. He told me he supports all ongoing recreational programs that contribute measurably to the county’s quality of life, including Parks and Recreation activi-ties. Mr. Womack also told me he is a strong supporter of athletic programs in the public schools and that he never made claims about cutting those programs. I found his responses to be refreshingly fair and entirely appropriate. He indicated that, when elected into the board of commissioners, he will energetically review all county programs and planned expenditures in the budget to identify priorities and budget shortfalls to reduce waste and ineffi ciency while supporting programs (like sports and school athletics) that directly benefi t Lee County citizens.

I am disappointed that some Lee County citizens spread malicious false information like the letter being circulated about Mr. Womack’s candidacy for county commissioner. It is this kind of “dirty politics” that diminishes the qual-ity of political campaigns and that disgusts the local population. I pray that cowardly, dishonest campaigning like this will cease in the ongo-ing races for county commissioner and school board (and all races). I recommend citizens ig-nore anonymous, undocumented letters as they contemplate the candidates they will vote for.

ED & MARTHA UNDERWOODSanford

Negative rhetoric

To the Editor:After attending The Sanford Herald sponsored

school board Candidate Forum, April 12, and listening to how negative most of the new candidates for the school board were, I have to respond. I would guess about 30 to 40 percent of the debate by the new prospective members was devoted to the dropout and graduation rate. This is a problem all over America and is being addressed in every school system and is aggressively addressed in the Lee County School system, as it should be. The discussion, in my opinion, was just a ploy to get a vote.

Let the programs that address the drop-out problem focus on the drop-outs and let the students who want to learn receive the full at-tention of the school system.

The Herald’s Bill Horner III followed by asking the candidates to grade our school system. Three of the new candidates responded with a grade of: Mark Akinosho a C; Shannon Gur-witch a D; and Kim Lilley a D. I would hate for them to try to recruit personnel to our D-rated school system, a D-rated administration with D-rated teachers. What a blow to our county.

As a former teacher and coach in this fi ne school system for 26 years, I have had three sons and three grandsons graduate from this school system and six other grandchildren en-rolled and on schedule to graduate. I resent all this negative rhetoric about our school system just to GET A VOTE!

With my knowledge of these three candidates, it is easy for me to support the following: Ellen Mangum, a member of St. Luke Church since 1984 and Director of St. Luke Pre-school for 26 years (seven of my grandchildren have attended) and she is a current member of Lee County Board of Education. John Bonardi is a graduate of Lee Senior (1983). I’ve known John for 30 years. His experience as a project manager with S.T. Wooten Corp. would be price-less with the new construction at Lee Senior. As a former Lee County Board member, he is knowledgeable of the rules and laws of the school board. Linda Smith has been employed in education for 48 years. Her last eight years for Lee County Schools, four years as a princi-pal and four years as personnel director. She is also a current member for Lee County Board of Education. These candidates are as genuine as we can get.

PAUL GAYSanford

Guilty plea

RALEIGH – On the day that his one-time aide pleaded guilty

to a single count of tax eva-sion, former Gov. Mike Easley issued a statement saying that he remained confi dent in Ruffi n Poole’s integrity.

Easley once expressed that kind of faith in another political confi dante. Then pilot McQueen Campbell began cooperating with federal investigators and testifi ed before the state Board of Elections that Easley failed to pay for airplane fl ights and disguised house repairs as cam-paign expenses.

Easley responded by es-sentially calling Campbell an impressionable sycophant.

A similar description may await Poole.

Like Campbell, the former Easley lawyer and patronage chief is now cooperating with federal investigators as they continue looking into the formergovernor’s activities.

Poole appeared in a federal courtroom the other day to en-ter his plea. He had been facing 57 criminal charges, many of them related to profi ting from the same Carteret County de-velopment where Easley and his wife, Mary, received a sweet-heart deal on a lot. Prosecutors also outlined how Poole had become a conduit for Easley do-nor/developers to get environ-mental permits approved.

His deal doesn’t mean that he’ll be walking away unscathed. Poole still probably faces a sig-nifi cant prison sentence.

After telling a federal judge that he was indeed guilty of tax evasion, Poole left the court-room only after an FBI agent shook his hand and told him, “We’ll see you tomorrow.” ...

Instead, prosecutors now have the cooperation of the person who stood at an intersec-tion of money and power within Easley administration.

Poole’s offi cial job for Easley was vetting appointees to policymaking boards and com-missions. Big-money campaign donors often coveted those board seats. Their telephone calls didn’t go ignored.

There’s nothing unusual about any of that in politics.

But few people outside of Easley’s inner circle were aware that Poole had also begun to run interference with state regula-tors whenever one of those donors ran into roadblocks. It was a bad mix destined to create confl icts of interest.

Those donors called Poole “the little governor.” Obviously, the implication was that when he picked up the phone, he was doing the bidding of his boss.

Easley, though, in eight years in offi ce, had a knack for pass-ing the buck, allowing blame to roll downhill. With Poole now cooperating with the feds, that tumbling blame could turn into an avalanche.

LaTishia soon realized that LaToyia, her older sister by 18 months, was dying from a gunshot wound to the chest.

Within minutes, LaToyia was dead and police were searching for a gunman.

A year has passed. In the 12 months since then, two local men have been arrested for murder, and the club’s owners have entered into an agreement with city officials to close the violence-plaqued establishment.

But Carla McIntyre, LaToyia’s mother, re-members the turmoil of late April 2009 vividly.

“Today is really a year,” Carla McIntyre says Monday. “I know it’s true, but it’s still just new to me. I went in her room. Her clothes are still there, but I’m like, ‘my baby is gone.’”

Now the McIntyres are coping with the effects of LaToyia’s murder, the second for this bereaved family in a decade.

Carla McIntyre’s brother, Ronnie, was shot to death in No-vember 2003 following an argument at Perry Brothers Tire Services on East Main Street.

Naturally, Carla Mc-Intyre is no fan of guns.

“I hate them,” she says. “If I could just take them away from everybody, I would.”

The family planned to mark Monday’s solemn occasion with a dinner. There is little solace though for LaTishia, Carla Mc-Intyre says.

LaToyia’s room exists as something of a time-piece today, frozen just as it was one year ago.

Aside from a few changes - a new sheet

here and a missing pair of shoes there - LaToyia’s room hasn’t changed.

“I haven’t really touched nothing,” Carla McIntyre says. “I go in there and lay on the bed and look at her clothes.”

She calls it a “comfort zone” for LaTishia as she grieves the loss of her big sister. LaToyia’s father, who lives outside the home, was likewise shaken by the tragedy.

At the time, LaToyia was working as a nurse’s assistant and training to become a mortician. It was an unusual job, Carla McIntyre admits, but it was one that LaToyia pursued with zeal.

The family remem-bers LaToyia as a “lov-able” person.

“You could be the meanest person and you could be griping and she’s just walk up and change you,” Carla McIntyre says. “Just like that.”

Capt. David Smith of the Sanford Police De-partment still remem-bers that fatal day.

Within hours of LaToyia’s shooting, lo-cal police had arrested 24-year-old Sanford resident Timotheus Dunbar and charged him with first-degree murder.

Days later, police arrested a second lo-cal man, 23-year-old Jaquell Maurice Tysor, and charged him with murder too.

Both Dunbar and Tysor are due for a May 24 trial date in Sanford, said Lee County Assis-tant District Attorney

Timothy Shrader. Smith said there’s

not much he can say about the still-pending case, but he said times are better today for the residents around the former Club Bumble-bee, who often com-plained of loud noises, gunfire and rowdy pa-trons in the days before LaToyia’s death.

Club Bumblebee had an Industrial Drive ad-dress, but its entrance faced Frazier Drive.

Nightclub owners Walter and Mary Spinks voluntarily entered into a consent agreement with Sanford leaders last September bar-ring any entertainment establishment, loud noises or alcohol sales on the grounds.

“We’ve had no more problems out there since that shooting,” Smith said.

Law enforcement has been able to quell similar scenarios in Sanford, later applaud-ing when the Sanford Lions Club agreed to nix sometimes-troublesome private parties at its fair grounds on the corner of Weatherspoon and Seventh streets, he said.

Agreements like that won’t bring back LaToyia, but Carla McIntyre says she has forgiven her daughter’s alleged killers.

“I’m a forgiving per-son,” she says. “I don’t hate them.”

What’s left now is for the family to honor LaToyia’s memory, Carla McIntyre says.

“It’s hurtful,” she says. “But I know she’s in a better place.”

Limestone dumped for fi sh habitatHATTERAS (AP)

— Limestone marl, unremarkable concrete like lumps, has been dumped by the tons into Pamlico Sound. And many people are very happy about it.

But the happiest of all may be the oysters, shellfi sh and fi nfi sh that scientists hope will be attracted to the oyster sanctuary reef about fi ve miles off Hatteras, serving as a sort of underwater nursery, aquatic gather-ing spot and oyster brood stock preserve.

“You’re restoring a habitat,” said David Egg-leston, professor of ma-rine ecology and conser-vation at North Carolina State University. “It cleans the water. It’s culturally important to the area. It helps other fi sh.

“So you really get a lot of bang for your buck.”

Eggleston was aboard the Miss Hatteras last week for an Earth Day celebration tour of the Clam Shell reef site, paid for with a $5 million

federal economic stimu-lus grant to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Service held for dead, missingN.C. women

ROCKY MOUNT (AP) — Family members and friends of dead and missing women in Rocky Mount whom police fear are victims of a serial killer joined with law enforce-ment leaders to remember the victims at a memorial service.

Multiple media outlets reported that about 150 people attended the ser-vice, held Sunday at Church of Deliverance. It was spon-sored by a group called Parents and Relatives of the Missing and Murdered, which is made up of the vic-tims’ families and friends and led by Jackie Wiggins, whose daughter is among the dead.

Antwan Pittman, 31, is charged with murder in the death of one woman, and the State Bureau of Investigation has named him as a suspect in four other deaths. Manley says Pittman is a suspect in two other deaths. Pittman has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge.

The tribute featured Wil-liam Barber, president of the state chapter of the NAACP. Barber gathered representatives from law enforcement, victims’ fami-lies and the City Council together on stage to let “the whole world know we are united.”

I-40 in NC reopens to limited traffi c

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina offi cials say a stretch of Interstate 40 in western North Carolina that has been closed for six months because of a rockslide will reopen with some traffi c limitations.

Offi cials said both east-bound lanes will be open and one westbound lane would reopen at 6 p.m. Sunday. One westbound lane will remain closed for three miles while workers continue putting in rock bolts and anchor mesh to stabilize the mountainside.

Truck traffi c will be

restricted to loads less than 12 feet wide in the westbound lane.

The stretch near the Ten-nessee state line has been closed in both directions since the rockslide Oct. 25.

Police seek suspect after fi nd body of man

MAIDEN (AP) — Police say the body of a North Carolina man was found in a fi eld the day after offi cers had investigated a report of shots fi red in the area.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department told multiple media outlets that 24-year-old Zachery David Young was found shot to death in a fi eld just south of Maiden on Saturday. Young lived in the area about 40 miles northwest of Charlotte.

Sheriff’s Lt. Hal Kluttz said offi cers responding to a call of shots fi red on Friday night did not see anyone in the fi eld. Kluttz would not say where Young was shot or how many times he was shot.

Kluttz said a stolen SUV found less than a mile from the crime scene may be connected to the case.

Trade mission recruits in Germany, Sweden

RALEIGH (AP) — Gov. Beverly Perdue, business recruiters and education and tourism leaders are heading to Germany to urge companies there to visit and invest in North Carolina.

Perdue’s offi ce said she was leaving Sunday and will stay in Munich until Wednesday. She’ll meet with executives of compa-nies already with a pres-ence in North Carolina or are considering setting up shop in the state.

Perdue will take a brief va-cation in Europe after leav-ing Munich with husband, Bob Eaves, before coming home. Other delegation members will visit other German cities the rest of the week. Some will head later to Sweden.

STATE BRIEFS

Friends suggest armed man no threatASHEVILLE (AP) — An

Ohio man who authorities say was carrying a gun and driving a car loaded with law enforcement equip-ment when he said he wanted to see the president is a “public-service-mind-ed” ham-radio, weather and police buff, acquain-tances said Monday.

Joseph Sean McVey, who was spotted by police in an Asheville Regional Airport parking lot Sunday just af-ter Air Force One departed, had a note in his car with formulas used for fi ring a rifl e with a scope, authori-ties said.

McVey did not have a rifl e with him, but the arrest was merited to ensure McVey was not a threat, said Jeff Augram, the airport’s public safety chief. Knowing McVey’s interests as a radio buff, weather enthusiast and sheriff’s volunteer helped explain many of the items found in his car, Augram said.

“In a post-9/11 culture, we have to take a pro-ac-tive posture,” Augram said.

Acquaintances from his hometown of Coshocton, Ohio, suggested the whole episode may just be a mis-understanding involving a sometimes overly enthusi-astic 23-year-old.

McVey, whose mother lives in Asheville, was be-ing held under a $100,000 secured bond for the misdemeanor charge of going armed in terror of the public. If he posts bail, McVey would be released. The investigation was con-tinuing, but Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said he did not believe there was a federal agency that wanted him held.

On Monday, he wore a white jail jumpsuit, ap-peared calm and spoke in a steady voice for a court hearing via video confer-ence. McVey faces up to 120 days in jail if convicted of the misdemeanor, District Judge Patricia Young said. She told him an attorney had agreed to represent him.

“I’d like to take advan-tage of the gentleman that you were notifying me about,” he responded.

Randy Fisher, presi-dent of the Coshocton County Amateur Radio Association, said that he was shocked to hear of the arrest. He said McVey had come to several of the group’s monthly meet-ings over the last two years and that he last talked to McVey about a week ago via radio. He said he always found McVey friendly and interesting.

“I was impressed that he was a public-service-minded type of individual. He really enjoyed using his

ham radio for emergency services and that sort of thing,” Fisher said.

For about two years, McVey has been a member of a volunteer organization that assists the sheriff’s de-partment with traffi c con-trol at emergency scenes, said Tim Wise, president of Coshocton County Radio Emergency Association Citizen Team.

Wise said he was in-clined to believe McVey’s arrest resulted from a misunderstanding. He was unaware McVey had a gun, but said he did not believe McVey would ever want to harm the president.

Security was heightened at the Asheville airport Sunday because President Barack Obama was leaving after a weekend vacation.

At about 2 p.m. Sunday, airport police saw McVey get out of a car and saw that he had a sidearm, airport police Capt. Kevan Smith said. He was using a handheld scanner and radio to monitor local

agencies and told an offi cer in the Asheville airport parking lot that he wanted to see the president, Smith said.

McVey was nowhere near the president’s plane, and was in a rental car re-turn lot that is open to the public, Smith said.

McVey’s car was equipped with police gear, including a siren box, a mounted digital camera and LED law enforcement-style strobe lights in the front and rear dash, Smith said.

A note in his car’s cup holder had rifl e scope formulas, which help a shooter adjust for distance from a target. Such formu-las estimate how much a bullet drops after it is fi red and are generally included with a scope purchased for hunting or recreation, said Greg A. Danas, a fi rearms expert based in Massachu-setts.

McVey gave authorities an Ohio driver’s license, but a computer check failed to show the number was valid, police said.

“Everything they found on him, with the exception of a gun, he basically had all that when he was in Coshocton,” said Wise, of the volunteer emergency group. “He just basically liked to monitor police frequencies and listen to what’s going on.”

Massey: W.Va.mine clear of gases before explosion

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Air samples did not show high levels of explosive gases just before an explo-sion in a West Virginia coal mine that killed 29 workers, and what caused the disas-ter remains unknown, the mine’s owner said Monday.

Massey Energy Co. board director Stanley Subo-leski said the samples were taken by foremen as part of a shift change exam at the Upper Big Branch mine, just “tens of minutes” before the blast. The examination also showed that air fl ow in the underground mine was fi ne.

“All the indicators are that at the start of the shift, everything was OK,” said Suboleski, a mining engineer.

Suboleski, two other Massey board directors and Chief Executive Don Blan-kenship held a news confer-ence Monday to address several issues related to the explosion, the nation’s worst coal mining disaster in 40 years.

eBay de-lists Kevorkian death van, citing policy

DETROIT (AP) — Online auction site eBay pulled a listing Monday for a van used by Dr. Jack Kevorkian to perform several assisted suicides, saying the sale of the van would violate the company’s policy against the sale of “murderabilia.”

Jack Finn, a retired used auto parts dealer, put the 1968 Volkswagon van once owned by Kevorkian up for auction on eBay last week. With three days left in the auction, the top bid placed for it was $3,400 at 12:30 p.m. EDT Monday, but the ad had been pulled an hour later.

In an e-mail message, eBay told The Associated Press it “does not allow the sale of items closely associated with notorious murderers within the last 100 years.”

“We carefully consider all the details before decid-ing to remove such listings when they’re brought to our attention, looking at the entire posting to determine if eBay policy has been violated,” eBay said.

Remains in Pa. ID’d as woman last seen at NYC club

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Remains found two weeks ago in Pennsylvania have been identifi ed as those of an aspiring dancer from Texas who disappeared after leaving a New York City night club in 2008 with a registered sex offender, state police said Monday.

A DNA analysis confi rmed the identity of 25-year-old Laura Garza of Brooklyn. She had moved to New York from McAllen, Texas, fi ve months before she disap-peared.

A group of ATV riders found the remains April 11 in Mount Cobb, Pa., several miles outside of Scranton, said Capt. Wayne Olson.

Oil leak from sunken rig could foul coastBy CAIN BURDEAUAssociated Press Writer

NEW ORLEANS — Coast Guard crews raced to protect the Gulf of Mexico coastline Monday as a remote sub tried to shut off an underwater oil well that’s gushing 42,000 gallons a day from the site of a wrecked drilling platform.

If crews cannot stop the leak quickly, they might need to drill another well to redirect the oil, a laborious process that could take weeks while oil washes up along a broad stretch of shore, from the white-sand beaches of Florida’s Panhandle to the swamps of Louisiana.

The oil is escaping from two leaks in a drilling pipe about 5,000 feet below the surface. The leaks threaten hundreds of miles of coastline in four states, with waters that are home to dolphins, sea birds, and prime fi shing and tourism areas.

The oil is not expected to reach the shoreline for at least another three days, offi cials said. The winds and currents can change rapidly and drastically, so offi cials were hesitant to give any longer forecasts for where the spill will head.

The oil began gushing out of the sea fl oor after the rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20 and sank two days later about 40 miles off the Mississippi

River delta. Eleven of the 126 workers aboard at the time are missing and presumed dead; the rest escaped. The cause of the explosion has not been determined.

As of Monday after-noon, an area 48 miles long and 39 miles wide was covered by oil that leaked from the site of the rig, which was owned by Transocean Ltd. and oper-ated by BP PLC.

Crews used robot sub-marines to activate valves in hopes of stopping the leaks, but they may not know until Tuesday if that strategy will work. BP also mobilized two rigs to drill a relief well if needed. Such a well could help

redirect the oil, though it could also take weeks to complete, especially at that depth.

Kenneth E. Arnold, an offshore production facil-ity expert, said relief wells pose serious engineering challenges.

“Sometimes you have to drill through the steel, and that’s what happened in Australia,” he said, referring to a blowout last August on a rig called the West Atlas in the Timor Sea. “It took them three times before they were successful.”

Not until November could mud be pumped through a relief well to shut off the deepwater spigot. The spill has result-

ed in major environmental damage along the coast of East Timor and Indonesia.

BP plans to collect leaking oil on the ocean bottom by lowering a large dome to capture the oil and using pipes and hoses to pump it into a vessel on the surface, said Doug Suttles, chief operating of-fi cer of BP Exploration and Production. It could take up to a month to get the equipment in place.

“That system has been deployed in shallower water,” he said, “but it has never been deployed at 5,000 feet of water, so we have to be careful.”

The U.S. spill, moving slowly north and spread-ing east and west, was about 30 miles from the Chandeleur Islands off the Louisiana coast Tuesday. The Coast Guard said kinks in the pipe were helping stem the fl ow of oil.

George Crozier, ocean-ographer and executive director at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama, said he was studying wind and ocean currents driving the oil.

He said Pensacola, Fla., is probably the eastern edge of the threatened area, though no one really knows what the effects will be.

“We’ve never seen any-thing like this magnitude,” he said. “The problems are going to be on the beaches themselves, that’s where it will be really visible.”

Goldman CEO says fi rm didn’t bet against clients

WASHINGTON (AP) — Goldman Sachs’ chief executive says in prepared remarks to Congress that the fi rm didn’t bet against its clients and can’t survive without their trust.

CEO Lloyd Blankfein and several other executives will testify Tuesday to the Senate Permanent Subcom-mittee on Investigations. Earlier this month, the Securities and Exchange Commission fi led a civil fraud case against Gold-man, saying it misled inves-tors about securities tied to home loans.

Goldman is fi ghting back. At the hearing, Blankfein will repeat the company’s argument that it lost $1.2 billion in the residential mortgage market during 2007 and 2008. He also will argue that Goldman wasn’t making an aggres-sive negative bet — or short — on the mortgage market’s meltdown.

“We didn’t have a mas-sive short against the housing market, and we certainly did not bet against our clients,” Blankfein says in prepared remarks released by the company. “Rather, we believe that we managed our risk as our shareholders and our regu-lators would expect.”

The SEC has alleged that Goldman concocted mort-gage investments without telling buyers that the investments had been put together with help from a hedge fund that was betting on them to fail. Goldman disputes the charges.

“If our clients believe that we don’t deserve their trust, we cannot survive,” Blankfein says in the pre-pared remarks.

Free speech versus kids and violent video games

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court will decide whether free speech rights are more important than helping parents keep violent material away from children.

The justices agreed Mon-day to consider reinstating

California’s ban on the sale or rental of violent video games to minors, a law the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Fran-cisco threw out last year on grounds that it violated mi-nors’ constitutional rights.

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who signed the law in 2005, said he was pleased the high court would review the appeals court deci-sion. He said, “We have a responsibility to our kids and our communities to protect against the effects of games that depict ultra-violent actions, just as we already do with movies.”

However, the judge who wrote the decision overturn-ing the law said at the time that there was no research showing a connection be-tween violent video games and psychological harm to young people.

Fed poised to keep record-low rates to aid rebound

WASHINGTON (AP) — Confi dence is growing that the economic rebound will strengthen. And to make sure it does, the Fed-eral Reserve is considered certain to hold interest rates at record lows when it meets this week.

Fed Chairman Ben Ber-nanke and his colleagues open a two-day meeting Tuesday at a time when the economic outlook has been brightening. Employ-ers are creating jobs, Americans are spending more, and manufacturers are boosting production.

Other signs point to a still-bumpy recovery. Unemploy-ment remains near double digits and is expected to stay high all this year. Banks aren’t lending at normal lev-els, and demand for loans is still low.

Despite a burst in home sales last month as buyers scrambled to take advan-tage of a soon-to-expire home buyers tax credit, the housing market is still frag-ile. So is the commercial real estate industry.

For all these reasons, the Fed is all but certain to leave its key bank lending rate between zero and 0.25 percent, where it’s remained since December 2008.

Furor grows over Arizona lawPHOENIX (AP) — The

furor over Arizona’s new law cracking down on illegal immigrants grew Monday as opponents used refried beans to smear swastikas on the state Capitol, civil rights leaders demanded a boy-cott of the state, and the Obama administration weighed a possible legal challenge.

Activists are planning a challenge of their own, hoping to block the law from taking effect by argu-ing that it encroaches on the federal government’s authority to regulate im-migration and violates people’s constitutional rights by giving police too much power.

The measure — set to take effect in late July or early August — would make it a crime under state law to be in the U.S. illegally. It directs state and local police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal.

“If you look or sound foreign, you are going to be subjected to never-ending requests for police

to confi rm your identity and to confi rm your citi-zenship,” said Alessandra Soler Meetze, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, which is explor-ing legal action.

Employees at the Capi-tol came to work Monday to fi nd that vandals had smeared swastikas on the windows. And protest-ers gathered for a second straight day to speak out against a law they say will lead to rampant racial profi ling of anyone who looks Hispanic.

The White House would not rule out the possibility that the

administration would take legal action against Arizona. President Barack Obama, who warned last week that the mea-sure could lead to police abuses, asked the Justice Department to complete a review of the law’s im-plications before deciding how to proceed.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon said the law is discriminatory and warned that trade and political ties with Arizona will be seriously strained by the crackdown.

Currently, many U.S. police departments do not ask about people’s immi-gration status unless they have run afoul of the law in some other way. Many departments say stopping and questioning people will only discourage im-migrants from cooperating

to solve crimes.Under the new Arizona

law, immigrants unable to produce documents showing they are allowed to be in the U.S. could be arrested, jailed for up to six months and fi ned $2,500. That is a signifi -cant escalation of the typ-ical federal punishment for being here illegally — deportation.

People arrested by Arizona police would be turned over to federal immigration offi cers. Op-ponents said the federal government could thwart the law by refusing to ac-cept them.

Supporters of the law said it is necessary to protect Arizonans from crimes committed by il-legal immigrants. Arizona is home to an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants and is the nation’s busiest gateway for people slip-ping into the country.

Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the bill on Friday, said Arizona must act because Washington has failed to stop the fl ow of illegal immigrants and drugs from Mexico. Brewer has ordered state offi cials to develop a training course for offi cers to learn what constitutes reasonable suspicion that someone is in the U.S. illegally.

More medical tests are planned for Bret Michaels

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Doctors plan further testing to help pinpoint the source of the brain hemorrhage that is keeping Bret Mi-chaels in intensive care, according to the rocker’s website.

A report from doctors is expected this week. The website doesn’t say where Michaels, 47, is hospitalized.

“Please remember Bret is, and always has been, a fi ghter and survivor and is under the best medical care possible,” the post added.

His New York-based pub-licist, Joann Mignano, con-fi rmed on Friday a report on People magazine’s website that said the former Poison frontman was rushed to in-tensive care late Thursday after a severe headache. Doctors discovered bleed-ing at the base of his brain stem, the report said.

Michaels is a contestant on Donald Trump’s com-petitive reality show, “The Celebrity Apprentice.” He has served as one of the season’s most outspoken celebrities and has so far avoided being fi red in the boardroom. At the end of Sunday’s episode, an announcer acknowledged his condition and said everyone at NBC “wishes Bret Michaels a speedy recovery.”

Michaels had an emer-

gency appendectomy April 12 after complaining of stomach pains before he was scheduled to perform at Sea World in San Anto-nio. Michaels later wrote on his website that although the surgery “has taken its toll,” doctors expected him to make a full recovery.

Before joining the third season of “The Celeb-rity Apprentice,” Michaels starred as the lothario on VH1’s lusty reality dat-ing series “Rock of Love” from 2007 to 2009. For three seasons, Michaels searched for the women of his dreams amid a sea of implants, tattoos and thongs. He also served as a judge on the fi fth season of the USA singing compe-tition “Nashville Star” in 2007.

British author Alan Sillitoe dies aged 82

LONDON (AP) — Brit-ish writer Alan Sillitoe, whose “Saturday Night And Sunday Morning,” and “The Loneliness Of The Long Dis-tance Runner” chronicled the bleak postwar realities of the country’s poor, died Sunday. He was 82.

Sillitoe, a leading member of the 1950s group of so-called angry young men of British fi ction, was acclaimed for his uncom-promising social criticism and depiction of domestic tensions — often dubbed kitchen sink dramas.

The writer’s son David said his father had died at London’s Charing Cross hospital, but gave no other details.

Albert Finney starred in the adaptation of “Saturday Night And Sunday Morning,” as a disillusioned young factory worker. In the “The Loneliness Of The Long Dis-tance Runner,” Tom Cour-tenay portrayed a young delinquent whose athletic prowess is seized upon by authorities as proof of their ability to rehabilitate troubled youths.

“He put somehow forgot-ten places at center-stage,” British poet Ian MacMillan told the BBC. “He made theordinary life into a kind of poetry.”

Recalling his own modest upbringing in Nottingham, central England, Sillitoe once recalled the smells of “leaking gas, stale fat, and layers of moldering wallpaper.”

In 2008, the author was bestowed with the freedom of Nottingham — an an-cient ceremonial honor that allows recipients to drove sheep through the center of the city. He had been due to join other recipients at an event to celebrate the city earlier this month, but was forced to withdraw because of illness.

Sillitoe lived briefl y over-seas with Ruth Fainlight, the American poet he married in 1959, but later returned to Britain.

NEW YORK — The Huff-ington Post will soon turn fi ve-years-old — veritable old-age in Internet years.

As the site, co-founded by Arianna Huffi ngton and launched on May 9, 2005, marks the anniversary, its proclaimed mission to be an “Internet newspaper” gains more credence every time its traffi c surpasses the websites of its print brethren.

It recently made the top 10 current events and global news sites, with 13 million unique users in March, an increase of more than 94 percent over the year before, according to Nielsen Online. If the trend continues, The Huffi ngton Post could soon pass The New York Times’ website (16.6 million uniques in March) in traffi c this year.

The growth is a remark-able feat for a site launched as little more than a collec-tion of celebrity bloggers, a liberal rival to the Drudge Report.

Since then, HuffPo, as it is known, has developed 20 sections ranging from food to books, launched four city-specifi c pages and integrated itself with social networks, partnering with Facebook and Twitter.

Ken Lerer, chairman and co-founder, says he recently looked up the

Huffi ngton Post from 2005 on Archive.org.

“I was fl oored,” he says. “It seemed really boring, very clean. It was great, but there wasn’t a lot there compared to where we are now.”

Now, the breadth of the Huffi ngton Post — com-bining work from a paid staff of 70 reporters and editors, some 6,000 blog-gers writing for free, and content from The Associ-ated Press (they’re a paying customer) and other media companies — is consider-

ably greater.It’s a low cost, high con-

tent formula that has prov-en exceptionally effi cient at attracting readers, though it hasn’t yet achieved profi t-ability through advertising, which Lerer says is robust this year. (Greg Coleman, formerly an ad executive at AOL and Yahoo, was recently hired as chief revenue offi cer to increase advertising revenue.)

“I’m completely sure the site will be profi table by the end of the year,” Huffi ngton says. “It would

have been profi table a lot sooner if we hadn’t kept growing.”

Maturing from primar-ily a political news site to a general interest destination is an interesting proposi-tion in an online world where success has often meant focusing on niche markets. In some ways, HuffPo is beginning to resemble an old-fashioned newspaper.

“Huffi ngton Post is still saying, ‘What people still like is everything — or a lot — in one place,”’ says Ken Doctor, author of “Newson-omics: Twelve New Trends That Will Shape the News You Get.”

“It’s the same principle (of a newspaper). It’s just some different content and it’s organized different. The irony is just too rich.”

Becoming all things to all people, though, could be diffi cult for a site typi-cally seen as left-leaning. Huffi ngton, who is also editor-in-chief, disputes that image, citing the site’s reporting on the war in Afghanistan and on the public option in the health care debates.

“We don’t have any ideological alignment with either political party,” she says. “We have been very critical of both political parties at different times. Our alignment is with what we consider to be in the interests of the public.”

FINANCIAL REGULATION

Democrats push bank controls; GOP delays actionBy JIM KUHNHENNAssociated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Un-daunted by a Senate set-back, Democrats appeared increasingly confi dent Monday they will be able to take advantage of Americans’ anger at Wall Street and push through the most sweeping new controls on fi nancial in-stitutions since the Great Depression.

The Senate, in a 57-41 vote, failed to get the 60 supporters needed to proceed on the regulatory overhaul. One Demo-crat, Sen. Ben Nelson of

Nebraska, joined with the Republicans.

But the evening vote was just part of a legislative ballet keeping bipartisan talks alive. At the end, Sen-ate Majority Leader Harry Reid switched his vote to “no,” too, but that was just a maneuver that will en-able him to call for a new tally as early as Tuesday.

Democrats believe that public pressure and the scent of a Wall Street scan-dal have given them the upper hand. Republicans themselves have taken up the Democrats Wall Street-bashing rhetoric and

have voiced hope that a bill will ultimately pass. In that light, the path to fi nal approval seems clearer than it ever did during the contentious debate over health care.

The fi nancial overhaul bill is a priority of President Barack Obama and, after health care, its passage would build on his legisla-tive successes — an impor-tant political consideration in an election year. The House has already passed its version of new bank regulations.

Less than an hour before the scheduled vote, the White House issued its offi cial endorsement of the bill, saying Obama would oppose adding any loopholes.

Both the House and Senate bills, aimed at heading off any recurrence of the near collapse of the fi nancial system in 2008, would create a mechanism for liquidating large fi rms

that get into trouble, set up a council to detect sys-temwide fi nancial threats and establish a consumer protection agency to police lending. The legislation also would require invest-ment derivatives, blamed for helping precipitate the near-meltdown, to be traded in open exchanges.

Senate Republicans have been solidly opposed to the legislation so far, but Democrats are determined to force them to block the bill time and again until their unity cracks.

“I don’t think it’s a ten-able political position for the Republicans to be in,” White House spokesman

Robert Gibbs said.And Reid mocked the

Republicans’ cohesion.“As far as I can tell, the

only thing Republicans stand for is standing to-gether,” he said.

Richard Shelby, the top Republican on the Banking Committee, said Monday before the vote, “Most Republicans want a bill, but they want a substantive bill.”

The Alabama senator has been negotiating with committee chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn.

Shelby aides said he wants to tighten language that he believes would give the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. too much fl exibility to assist large banks and their credi-tors. Shelby also wants to restrict the rule-writing powers that Dodd would give a consumer fi nancial protection bureau within the Federal Reserve.

HORSE RACING

LOOKING AT LUCKY NOW THE DERBY FAVORITE

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Bob Baffert has suddenly gone from having a solid contender to training the new favorite for the Kentucky Derby.

Last year’s 2-year-old cham-pion, Lookin At Lucky, assumed the role after Eskendereya was forced out of the fi eld by a leg injury.

But the Hall of Fame trainer says he doesn’t want to be tabbed the favorite for Saturday’s race. Baffert suggests that posi-tion belongs to Sidney’s Candy, who beat Lookin At Lucky by six lengths in the Santa Anita Derby.

Without Eskendereya, who won his last two starts by a combined 18 1/4 lengths, Baffert says there’s no longer a standout colt, leaving the fi eld wide open.

NFL

DRAFT VIEWERSHIP SETS NEW RECORD

NEW YORK (AP) — More than 45 million viewers watched a portion of the NFL draft on three television channels, eas-ily a record.

A total viewership of 45.4 mil-lion tuned in to the 75th draft on NFL Network, ESPN and ESPN2. That’s up 16 percent from last years record of 39 million, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Draft viewership has nearly doubled during the last decade, from 23.5 million in 2001.

HOWARD SIGNS 5-YEAR, $125M EXTENSION

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Ryan Howard has agreed to a $125 million, fi ve-year contract extension through 2016 with the Philadelphia Phillies that in-cludes a club option for 2017.

The 30-year-old will make $20 million each in 2012 and 2013 and $25 million annu-ally from 2014-16. The Phillies have a $23 million club option for 2017 with a $10 million buyout.

The $25 million guaranteed average salary in the extension will be baseball’s second-high-est behind Alex Rodriguez’s $27.5 million average under a 10-year contract with the Yan-kees running through 2017.

Howard, the 2006 NL MVP, is earning $19 million this season as part of a $54 million, three-year deal that pays him $20 million in 2011.

The deal was announced Monday before the Phillies play the San Francisco Giants.

Brower gets All-Star invite

By RYAN SARDAsarda@sanfordherald.com

SANFORD — Jake Brower was just enjoying another typical school day at Southern Lee High School before his former soccer coach Jason Burman inter-rupted his journalism class to tell him some big news last week.

Burman told Brower in front of the entire class that he had been invited to play in the 2010 East-West All-Star soccer game in July in Greensboro.

When Burman told Brower of the news, the senior was taken aback and was at a loss for words. Some of his classmates were, too.

“We’re like a big family in that class,” said Brower, a graduating senior forward and striker for the Cavaliers. “So when Coach told me, they were just as excited as I was. A few of them looked

Four Pack players face drug chargesBy AARON BEARDAP Sports Writer

RALEIGH — Four North Caro-lina State football players face drug charges after police found marijuana in an off-campus apartment.

Raleigh police say offensive tackle Jake Vermiglio, and defen-sive tackles Markus Kuhn and J.R.

Sweezy each were charged with possession of marijuana, posses-sion of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a dwelling for use of controlled substances.

All-Atlantic Coast Confer-ence tight end George Bryan was charged with maintaining a dwelling for use of controlled substances.

A fi fth person, Allison Elaine

Davis, faces the same charges as Vermiglio, Kuhn and Sweezy. Da-vis listed the same home address as Vermiglio on a police incident report.

All charges are misdemeanors.N.C. State coach Tom O’Brien

didn’t immediately announce disciplinary action for the players.

“I have been made aware of the situation and appropriate

action will be taken,” O’Brien said in a statement released by the school.

According to a search warrant, an off-duty Raleigh police offi cer working a secondary job as se-curity at the apartment complex early Saturday smelled the odor of marijuana coming from an

Johnson apologizes to GordonBy JENNA FRYERAP Auto Racing Writer

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Four-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson took the blame for making a mistake that ultimately led to teammate Jeff Gordon’s wreck at Talladega Super-speedway.

Johnson said he was trying to slide in front of Gordon

late in Sunday’s race so the two Hendrick Motorsports drivers could draft together toward the front. But, he said Gordon was coming too fast. Johnson’s move instead had the effect of a block, and Gor-don was forced off the apron in a defensive move.

His momentum gone, Gordon slide back in traffi c and was caught moments

later in a multi-car crash.“I misjudged the closing

rate,” Johnson told The As-sociated Press. “We all make mistakes, I am no different.

“Certainly, that was my fault. I made the mistake there.”

Gordon, who drove his damaged car to a 22nd-place

DUKE BASKETBALL

Adams commits to Devils

UPCOMING

By BRYAN STRICKLANDbstrickland@heraldsun.com

DURHAM — Coming off a national champion-ship run in which bigger was better for Duke, the Blue Devils have secured the services of another big man for the future.

Tyler Adams, a 6-9, 255-pound post player out of Mississippi, has made a verbal commit-ment to play for the Duke beginning in 2011.

Adams, who aver-aged 17 points and 11 rebounds as a junior at

Brandon High School, picked Duke over Mem-phis, Mississippi State and Alabama among others.

Scout.com recruiting analyst Dave Telep ranks Adams as the 14th-best center prospect in the class of 2011 and a top-100 prospect regardless of position.

Adams is somewhat of a traditional, back-to-the-basket type of post player, but his high school coach said he is more polished than many similar post players his age.

“He’s 6-9 and he’s 255, but he’s very mobile. A kid that size is usu-ally a little bit clumsy,” Brandon coach Fredrick

Barnes said. “He’s just a competitor and a smart kid. He loves basketball, and he wants to get bet-ter.

“I think he has all the things that Coach K is looking for. Coach K loves the way that he can move on the court.”

Duke’s recent run to the NCAA title featured a trio of high-scoring pe-rimeter players who ben-efi ted from the presence of 7-footer Brian Zoubek, who made a living late in his college career grab-bing offensive rebounds and spotting shooters.

Zoubek was a senior, so the Blue Devils are ex-pected to feature brothers Miles and Mason Plumlee — more face-the-basket

type of big men — in the 2010-11 season, along with already signed fresh-man Josh Hairston.

Adams can’t offi cially sign until November. The same goes for Duke’s other verbal commitment to date for the class, 6-6 forward Michael Gbinije out of Richmond. In addi-tion, the Blue Devils still are considering several other top prospects for the class.

Adams represented the United States in inter-national competition as a middle-schooler, and obviously Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski also has a bit of international ex-perience, having coached Team USA to a gold medal in 2008.

Patriots release LB Adalius Thomas

BOSTON (AP) — The New England Patriots on Monday released former Pro Bowl linebacker Adalius Thomas, who joined the team as a high-profi le free agent in 2007, but fell into disfavor with coach Bill Belichick last season.

The decision, announced by the team on Monday, leaves Thomas, 32, free to sign with any other NFL team. His agent, Bus Cook, did not immediately return a phone message.

The linebacker signed a fi ve-year, $35 million deal with the Patriots after seven seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, where he played alongside Ray Lewis. He was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2003 and again in 2006.

Thomas had 14 1/2 sacks in his three seasons in New England.

Jags release Pro Bowler Henderson

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars released two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle John Hen-derson on Monday, opening up a starting spot for fi rst-round draft pick Tyson Alualu.

The team also released defensive tackle Montavious Stanley and linebackers Brian Iwuw and Tank Daniels, and withdrew its qualifying offer to linebacker Clint Ingram.

The moves continue an overhaul of a defensive front that fi nished with a fran-chise-low 14 sacks in 2009. Jacksonville drafted four defensive linemen, traded

underachieving end Quentin Groves, released defensive tackle Rob Meier and traded for veteran linebacker Kirk Morrison.

Bucs release DT Hovan, 5 others

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — De-fensive tackle Chris Hovan, offensive lineman Arron Sears and reserve fullback B.J. Askew are among six vet-erans released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Hovan’s future with the team was already in doubt before the Bucs selected defensive tackles Gerald McCoy and Brian Price in the fi rst two rounds of the NFL draft. Tampa Bay fi nished last in the league in run defense in 2009.

Sears was a second-round draft pick in 2007. He start-ed 31 games in his fi rst two seasons with the team, but sat out all of last season on the non-football illness list. The Bucs have not publicly discussed the reason.

Titans agree with Oregon RB Blount

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — LeGarrette Blount, the Oregon running back sus-pended for punching a player last season, agreed to terms Monday with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent.

Blount missed eight games in 2009 for punching Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the season opener Sept. 3. Blount returned late in the season and played in the Rose Bowl loss to Ohio State.

NFL BRIEFS

Rested Bryant predicts better things for LakersEL SEGUNDO, Calif.

(AP) — Although the Los Angeles Lakers still aren’t certain what ailed Kobe Bryant during two dismal games in Oklahoma City, they’re certainly hoping two days of pure rest can cure it.

Wearing street clothes and a confi dent smile, Bryant watched intently while the Lakers fi nished up practice Monday in the midst of a fi rst-round playoff series that’s been a whole lot less relaxing than the defending champions had hoped.

It’s the rest Bryant took in Game 4 in Oklahoma City — where he didn’t take a shot until the second

quarter and scored just 12 points — that has left Los Angeles worrying about an extra-long summer.

Is Kobe hurt more than he’s letting on? Was his pas-siveness meant to send a message to his teammates, as he’s apparently done in the past? Or was he simply not feeling it against the eighth-seeded Thunder’s aggressive defense and youthful enthusiasm?

“I feel good right now,” Bryant said Monday. “I’ve battled some injuries, but I feel good today.”

Bryant wasn’t in the mood for many complete sentences, saying he feels “100 percent” even though

“some nights it’s been tough.”

When asked if he’s at the top of his game, Bryant said: “I will be.”

Nobody will know for sure until Game 5 on Tuesday night, when the Lakers will have the back-ing of a home crowd that has paled in comparison to the volume and intensity of Oklahoma City’s eager fans, according to both teams.

To prevent Kevin Durant from starting his NBA play-off career with a historic fi rst-round upset, Bryant and his fans might need to shake off their Hollywood cool.

“We don’t get angry,”

Bryant said. “There are cer-tain things that we have to do to execute to win. Angry doesn’t get it done. Emotion doesn’t get it done. You’ve got to execute.”

The Lakers were thor-oughly trounced 110-89 in Game 4, and their superstar’s curious perfor-mance seemed to be about more than just his injured ankle, knee, hamstring and fi nger. A Lakers spokesman confi rmed Monday that Bryant’s broken index fi nger on his shooting hand has healed, but he’s now both-ered by unrelated arthritis in the same digit.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Cleveland Cava-liers’ Antawn Jamison, left, drives to the basket against Chicago Bulls’ Luol Deng dur-ing the third quarter of Game 4 in the fi rst round of the NBA bas-ketball playoffs Sunday, April 25, 2010, in Chicago.

AP photo

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — While breaking down game tape during a serious fi lm session, the Cleveland Cavaliers sometimes will break into laughter.

Seeing Antawn Jamison toss in one of his unortho-dox shots can be pretty funny.

“I hear the giggles,” Jamison said Monday. “I’m used to it.”

Floaters. Runners. Underhanded scoops. From odd, almost impossible angles, Jamison can make just about any shot.

Currently, he’s shooting for something else: an NBA title.

Acquired in a February trade from Washington to take pressure off LeBron James and serve in a sup-porting role to the super-star, Jamison scored 24 points in Sunday’s 121-98 win over the Chicago Bulls that gave Cleveland a 3-1 lead in their best-of-seven series.

The Cavs can advance to the second round with a win in Game 5 on Tuesday, and Jamison believes they better put away their young, stubborn opponent.

“If you want to be a championship-caliber team and you’ve got a team on the brink, you’ve got to fi nd a way to get it done,”

Jamison said. “We realize this is a great opportunity and we have to take advan-tage.”

Jamison would know.The 12-year veteran,

who played with Golden State, Dallas and Washing-ton before joining the Cavs, was once part of a young, talent-rich Wizards team that was on the verge of being a perennial title con-tender when it all fell apart.

In his second season with Washington, the Wizards beat Chicago in the fi rst round before be-ing eliminated by Miami. Jamison fi gured they’d go further the next time, but James and the Cavaliers

eliminated Washington in the fi rst round the next three years.

Then injuries and Gilbert Arenas’ legal woes fractured the Wizards, who were eventually split up and may need years to recover.

At one point, Jamison feared he had missed his title shot.

“It was very frustrating,” he said. “You start asking questions like: Why is this happening? You were part of a franchise that was so promising a few years ago and all of a sudden you don’t know what’s going to happen. You go from that to there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Beckham’s recovery lags; out until November

LONDON (AP) — David Beckham’s recovery is tak-ing longer than expected, and he does not expect to be ready to play until November.

The update by the England midfi elder on Monday means he will be gone from Major League Soccer this season unless the Los Angeles Gal-axy reach the playoffs. The next time he could play for England probably would be a 2012 European Champion-ship qualifi er against Wales on March 26, 2011.

Beckham underwent sur-gery in March after rupturing his Achilles’ tendon while on loan at AC Milan. He initially had been told he would be back by September.

“I won’t be running for an-other three months, so I will be playing again in, probably, November,” Beckham said in a video posted Monday on ABC’s website.

Memoir coming from ’The Blind Side’ inspiration

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL star whose life in-spired the book and movie “The Blind Side” is now telling his own story.

Gotham Books an-nounced Monday that Michael Oher’s “I Beat the Odds” will be published in February 2011.

Oher rose from poverty in Memphis, Tenn., to fame as an offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens. His story became a best-selling book by Michael Lewis and a popular movie starring Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Tuohy, Oher’s foster mother.

Tuohy and her husband, Sean, also are working on a memoir, due this sum-mer.

AP Source: Altman new Oregon basketball coach

Longtime Creighton coach Dana Altman is expected to be announced as Oregon’s new head basketball coach at a news conference on Monday afternoon.

A source with knowledge of the hiring confi rmed to The Associated Press ear-lier in the day that Altman had accepted the job. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity be-cause a formal announce-ment had not been made.

Altman, 51, spent 16 seasons at Creighton, fi nishing with a 327-176 record. He led the Bluejays to 11 consecutive 20-win seasons before they went 18-16 this year.

Former champion John Ruiz retires from boxing

LAS VEGAS (AP) — For-mer heavyweight champion John Ruiz is retiring.

The 38-year-old boxer said in a statement Monday he’s leaving after an 18-year career. He was the WBA champ two times and fi nished with a record of 44-9-1, including 30 knockouts.

Ruiz was knocked down four times in a loss to David Haye this month. He hit the canvas twice in the fi rst round, and his trainer ended the fi ght in the ninth.

Ruiz defeated three world champions — Evander Holyfi eld, Hasim Rahman and Tony Tucker. He fought in 12 championship bouts and became the fi rst Latino heavyweight champion.

He plans to move his family from Las Vegas to his home in the Boston area and open a boxing gym in the city.

BOSTON (AP) — David Krejci had two goals and one assist to lead Boston to a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres in Game 6 of their fi rst-round playoff series on Monday night and put the Bruins in the Eastern Conference semifi nals.

Tuukka Rask stopped 27 shots for Boston, which will play either Philadelphia or Pittsburgh in the second round.

It’s Boston’s second playoff series victory — and fi rst at home — since 1999.

Buffalo, which missed the playoffs in each of the past two seasons, has not advanced since reaching the conference semifi nals in 2006 and ’07.

Mark Recchi had a goal and an assist, and Miroslav Satan also scored for the Bruins.

Olympic MVP Ryan Miller made 28 saves for Buffalo. Patrick Kaleta and Nathan Gerbe scored for the Sabres, and Thomas Vanek made it 4-3 with 1:13 left after the goalie was pulled for an extra skater.

Canadiens beat Capitals 4-1, force Game 7

MONTREAL (AP) — Jaroslav Halak made 53 saves, and Michael Cammalleri scored twice in the fi rst period for the eighth-seeded Montreal Cana-diens, who stayed alive with a 4-1 victory over the Washing-ton Capitals on Monday night and forced a Game 7 in the fi rst-round series.

Halak made 18 saves in the fi rst, 15 in the second, and 19 in the third. He came

within 4:50 of his fi rst playoff shutout. Halak, who stopped 37 shots in Friday’s 2-1 vic-tory in Washington, won his second straight start despite the top-seeded Capitals’ 54-22 advantage in shots.

Cammalleri, who opened the scoring in Game 5, put the Canadiens up 1-0 with a power-play goal 7:30 in. He added his second of the game — fi fth of the series — at 9:09 to increase the lead to 2-0.

Game 7 is Wednesday night at Washington.

like they were tearing up. It was a very special moment and I’ll never forget that moment or that class.”

Brower scored 34 goals and had 11 assists this past season for the Cavaliers, who fi nished the regular season undefeated (23-0) and suffered their fi rst and only loss of the season in the third round of the 3-A state playoffs. He fi nished his career as the program’s all-time leading scorer with 63 goals and 37 career as-sists. He was also named the Cape Fear Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Year and was fi rst team All-Region and All-State. And he earned an academic All-Conference honor this season.

Brower will be the fi rst South-ern Lee representative in school history playing in the All-Star game. Burman, who coached Brower for three years at South-ern Lee, couldn’t be happier for

his now former player. “He’s a great kid,” said Bur-

man. “I love seeing good things happen to good kids. He’s defi -nitely deserving of this opportu-nity. He’s one of those kids that you believe in. He works hard. He plays hard and he does every-thing the right way. I’m so proud of him for this. He’s earned it.”

Brower’s selection into the East-West All-Star game is a his-torical one for not only Southern Lee High School, but for the Cape Fear Valley Conference.

Never in the history of the conference, has a player been se-lected to participate in the game.

“That’s a real honor,” said Brower. “That’s pretty crazy because it’s a conference that’s stacked with talent. I know that if I do my best, then the bar will be set. I hope to see more represen-tatives from Southern Lee and the Cape Fear Valley Conference in this game in the future because there are some great players in this league.”

Brower is just the sixth player from Lee County to be named to

the All-Star game and is the fi rst since 2003. The game is sched-uled for July 20th at N.C. Greens-boro’s Soccer Complex.

Burman expects some col-lege recruiters and scouts to be on hand for the game as a last chance for the unsigned players to showcase their talents.

“There should be some local scouts there and Jake will be able to get some exposure and show what he can do,” said Burman. “There’s a good chance someone could make a spot on one of their teams for Jake. He’s earned every bit of this.”

Brower is currently evaluating his college options. Right now, he is looking at Elon University as a possibility or North Carolina.

“That’s the tough thing,” said Brower. “The game isn’t until July and I’ve got until May to decide where I want to go. It’ll be good to get some exposure and see what other scouts think of me. I’m just honored to have the opportunity to play in this game.”

The soccer game will be one of three All-Star games that week.

The N.C. East-West All-Star basketball game will take place on July 19 in the Greensboro Coliseum. The All-Star football game will take place on July 21 at Jamieson Stadium.

Burman says that Brower posed such a threat to other teams that other coaches would focus their game plans primarily on him.

“The night we played Williams, their coach told me that he told his goalie to hold the ball for as long as possible,” said Burman. “He did that to make Jake try and guard him and ultimately try and wear him down. Jake was in tremendous shape, though, and it didn’t work. There was another game where we played 110 minutes and Jake played every second. He still had enough in the tank to make some crucial penalty kicks.”

Brower credits Burman for helping him develop into an All-Star soccer player.

“Coach Burman was an as-sistant coach for one of the teams I played for when I was little,” said

Brower. “So when he was hired at Southern Lee, I was excited because it was someone I was fa-miliar with and someone I had a bond with. He would always give me little things to change about my game and I’d go home and practice them. He knew what he was talking about and everything that he told me, I wanted to make happen. He was real encouraging and I’m thankful for him for help-ing me get this far. I couldn’t have done it without him.”

As great as being an All-Star sounds to Brower, he would trade it all in to share the fi eld with his Cavalier teammates one more time.

“Going to the All-Star game was kind of like icing on the cake,” said Brower. “I couldn’t ask for a better senior season. I had a great coach, great teammates and we had a great season. I’d give anything to be able to play with that group for one more season. As great as it feels, I wish this was a team honor because I defi nitely could not have done it without the help of my teammates.”

apartment. After meeting with the tenants, a search uncovered three sandwich bags contain-ing approximately six grams of

marijuana, a cigar containing the drug, two homemade bongs and other paraphernalia, according to a police inventory of seized property.

The four players’ home ad-dresses are listed on the incident report as the same apartment

where the search warrant was executed, though they each specifi ed different units within the same apartment that a police spokesman said also contained a common area.

Bryan, a rising junior, had 40 catches for 422 yards and six

touchdowns last year. Vermiglio started nine games at left tackle as a junior last season, while Sweezy played in all 12 games last year and tallied 17 tackles as a sopho-more reserve. Kuhn redshirted last season as a junior.

O’Brien had suspended

Sweezy for an unrelated incident last month. Sweezy was charged with misdemeanor assault and larceny following an altercation on a bus with its driver in his hometown of Mooresville, ac-cording to the Mooresville Police Department.

accountable for the consequences of my actions. Though I have committed no crime, I regret that I have fallen short of the values instilled in me by my family,” Roethlisbearger said in the statement.

Roethlisberger was cleared of charges, but commissioner Roger Goodell cracked down on one of his biggest stars because “you are held to a higher standard as an NFL player, and there is nothing about your conduct in Milledgeville (Ga.) that can remotely be described as admirable, responsible, or consistent with either the values of the league of the expectations of our fans.”

The two-time Super Bowl winner said

that while it will be “devastating” to miss games, “I will not appeal the suspension and will comply with what is asked of me — and more,” he said.

“I am sorry to let down my teammates and the entire Steelers fan base. I am dis-appointed that I have reached this point and will not put myself in this situation again,” Roethlisberger said. “I appreciate the opportunities that I have been given in my life and will make the necessary improvements.”

Roethlisberger is the fi rst player suspended by Goodell under the con-duct policy who hasn’t been arrested or charged with a crime. Goodell said the league’s conduct policy gave him the right to impose discipline regardless of whether Roethlisberger broke the law.

fi nish, was furious with his teammate after the race.

“The 48 is testing my patience, I can tell you that,” Gordon said Sunday at Talladega Superspeed-way. “It takes a lot to make me mad.”

Johnson was involved in his own accident later and fi nished 31st. Johnson had already left the track when Gordon, also a four-time series champion,

talked of his frustration with his teammate.

“I would have stuck around if I knew what was waiting for me,” Johnson said in a phone interview with the AP.

But Johnson again dismissed any notion of a rift with the driver who helped him get his break with Hendrick Motors-ports. The two tangled a week ago at Texas Motor Speedway, but down-played any potential tensions.

“There’s no doubt after the fact that frustrations

are high, the wreck just compounded it,” John-son said. “I think he was speaking out of frustra-tion.”

Johnson approached Gordon in 2001 asking for advice, and Gordon con-vinced Rick Hendrick to start a team for Johnson.

Since his 2002 rookie season, Johnson steadily challenged Gordon until fi nally surpassing him as the star of the team. John-son has won 50 races and the last four champion-ships, while Gordon has won 24 races but no titles.

DEAR ABBY: Regarding “Ru-minating in Rio Rancho” (Feb. 19), whose wife has an issue with his eating style, I too am a “se-rial eater,” and I have taken a fair amount of kidding and abuse over it. However, the tactic of claiming it is poor etiquette to shame the eater is a new one to me.

In my experience, people react to serial eating because it is unusual. I can’t explain why I do it, just as I can’t understand why other people feel they must rotate their bites. I just know it works for me, and their method seems as odd to me as mine does to them.

I recall this subject was men-tioned years ago in your mother’s column. The writer said as a boy he was teased for eating this way, but an uncle of his had a different take. The uncle said that he had the capacity to become a great success because he did one thing at a time, and fi nished what he started before moving on.

So, to “Ruminating,” what I ad-vise is: Use your silverware, chew with your mouth closed, and com-pliment the chef. Tell her/him that each dish is so good that you don’t want to dilute the taste, which would hamper your enjoyment.

— FINISHING WHAT I START IN RALEIGH

DEAR FINISHING: My readers agree unanimously that a person’s eating habits are a matter of per-sonal choice and “Ruminating’s” wife should resist the urge to be such a control freak. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: Eating one portion

at a time is not uncommon. During a home-cooked meal in Thailand, I made the mistake of taking a little from each platter and eating a bit of each one in rotation. My host informed me that in his country one takes a serving from one plat-ter, eats it, and then takes another serving from another, etc.

There is no universal standard for proper etiquette. Customs vary from family to family and country to country. To establish their fam-ily “standards,” the couple should discuss and do what they decide. At any meal, I follow my host’s lead and then I am always correct.

— POLITE IN ANY COMPANY, DWAYNE OZEWALLA, PH.D.

DEAR ABBY: It is actually proper to rotate selections of food on your dinner plate. A good chef plans meals so that the taste of each selection complements the other, and the polite diner acknowledges each one. It’s the second-best “gratuity” a chef can receive. Those who formed the habit of eating one item at a time were introduced to

this style of eating by their moth-ers -- who opened one jar of baby food, fed their infant from that, then closed the jar and fed them from the next jar.

— KEITH FROM HOUSTON

DEAR ABBY: “Ruminating” eats the way some dietitians recom-mend: protein fi rst, vegetables second, starch last. That’s the healthiest way to eat, especially if you are trying to watch what you eat.

— DANA FROM KATY, TEXAS

DEAR ABBY: Do as I do, and take your eating to the next level. Instead of just consuming every item completely before moving to the next, try eating alphabetically ... mashed potatoes, meatloaf, then your peas.

— ORGANIZED IN UTAH

DEAR ABBY: My husband eats his least-favorite thing fi rst and ends with his favorite. This was incorporated as a young boy to make sure he cleaned his plate. I suggested as an option that he eat his favorite fi rst and then, when he gets full, he will stop eating, in-stead of always cleaning his plate. He has lost a few pounds in the process.

— WIFE OF HUSBAND FROM THE CLEAN PLATE CLUB

DEAR ABBY: Does “Ruminat-ing” know he shares the same style of eating as Albert Einstein? This natural habit is a sign of genius.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Drum up a little excitement and get oth-ers to participate in one of your plans. The more hype you create, the more pressure will be put on you to obtain positive results. Don’t promise anything you cannot deliver. 3 stars

God forgives if we repent for our sins

Q: My cousin has gone off the deep end and is living like the devil right now. He says it doesn’t matter, because before he dies he’s going to ask God to forgive him, and God will, because (according to him) that’s what God has promised to do. Is he right? — B.N.

A: No, your cousin is not right. God has only promised to forgive us when we repent of our sinful ways. But repen-tance means to be sincerely sorry for our sins and to turn away from them — and from what you say, this isn’t what he wants to do, either now or later.

Does this mean God can’t forgive someone who turns in faith to Christ at the last minute? No, not at all. One of the criminals who was crucifi ed with Jesus turned to Him in faith, and as a result received His promise of sal-vation: “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). But this man knew he was a sinner, and he was sincerely sorry for his sins (as the pre-vious verses demonstrate).

Your cousin is in a very dangerous position spiritu-ally. Not only is he deceiv-ing himself about God’s mercy and grace but he is deceiving himself about his future. How does he know he won’t die suddenly, with no opportunity to turn to God? How does he know his heart won’t grow colder and colder toward God as the years go by — which often happens?

Pray for your cousin, and urge him to face the empti-ness and hopelessness of his life.

Conn. cops: Woman tried to use 911 as taxi service

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Police in one Connecticut city have a warning for nightclub patrons: Don’t call 911 for a ride home.

New Haven police say that’s what 28-year-old Quandria (KWAN’-dree-ah) Bailey did, calling the emergency line six times to request a ride from a night-club back to her Meriden home.

Bailey was charged with six counts of misuse of the 911 system early Sun-day. She was released on a $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court May 5.

A telephone number for Bailey could not immediately be located Sunday and it was unclear whether she had an attorney.

Ill. firefighters rescue dog from recliner chair

NAPERVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Three suburban Chicago firefighters rescued a small dog that became trapped inside a mechanized recliner chair by sawing the piece of furniture apart.

Eighty-seven-year-old owner Ken Makris says his terrier, Ebonyser, has nerve damage following his Thursday night ordeal but that he is “coming along fine.”

Firefighters who responded to an emergency call from the Sunrise of Na-perville assisted living center Thursday

arrived to find a nurse’s aide hanging onto the chair to relieve the pressure on the dog and allow it to breathe. Fire-fighter and paramedic Scott Bolda says the chair’s electrical controls stopped working when Ebonyser become wedged inside.

Makris says the 5-year-old pooch is on painkillers but that he was able to go out for a walk Monday.

Fake mop top finds cops at San Diego TV appearance

SAN DIEGO (AP) — It’s going to be a hard day’s night in jail for a Beatles im-personator after police arrested him on an old warrant outside an appearance on a San Diego morning news show.

Carlsbad police Lt. Marc Reno says Theodore “Ted” Felicetti was arrested Friday on an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on a drunken driv-ing charge in December, 2008. Felicetti plays Paul McCartney in the Beatles tribute band “Help!”.

Investigators received tips that Feli-cetti played in the band, then learned on the group’s Facebook page that they would be appearing on the morning news show.

Station’s news director Rich Goldner says two officers let Felicetti finish the performance of “I Am the Walrus,” then arrested him outside the studio.

Felicetti is being held on $130,000 bail.
