The Norfolk, Va.-based health care system original proposal stated its annual lease payment to Pasquotank County and any monetary support for the Pasquotank-Camden Emergency Medical Services would be “contingent upon Albemarle Hospital achieving positive free cash flow.” But an addendum to its proposal, received by a task force of hospital and Pasquotank County officials on Monday, states there will be no hospital performance contingency in order for the county to receive the lease payment or help with EMS. The new proposal also includes $600,000 a year for EMS. Sentara’s original proposal stated that it would support EMS in the county, but did not provide a specific dollar amount. Sentara, one of three health care systems proposing to lease Albemarle Hospital, is also now offering a 40-year lease term for the hospital, with six 10-year extensions. Sentara originally proposed a 10-year initial lease with nine extensions of 10 years each.

The board, after meeting for six-plus hours, agreed for the most part with Pasquotank resident Pete Gilbert, who previously had challenged 60 voters’ right to cast ballots in the Nov. 6 election, claiming they either did not live at ECSU during the election, or did not establish permanent residence there.

Department of Transportation has awarded a contract totalling $5.7 million to a Maryland company to replace six bridges in Perquimans County and two more in Pasquotank County. The contract was awarded to McLean Contracting Co. of Glenburnie, Md. Replacement work can begin as early as April 29, with completion scheduled for no later than Oct. 15, 2016, according to DOT Division 1 Engineer Jerry Jennings. The bridges scheduled for replacement in Perquimans and the bodies of water they cross include: • Muddy Creek Road bridge over Muddy Creek in Hertford; • Foreman Bundy Road bridge over Mill Creek in Hertford; • Burnt Mill Road bridge over Bethel Creek in Hertford; • Great Hope Church Road bridge over Goodwin Mill Creek west of Hertford; • Shady Croft Road bridge over a tributary of the Perquimans River in Belvidere; and • Perry’s Bridge Road bridge over the Perquimans River in Belvidere. The bridges scheduled to be replaced in Pasquotank are one on Nixonton Road crossing Symonds Creek, and another on Dances Bay Road crossing a canal to the Little River. “Replacing these outdated bridges will modernize our transportation system and ensure they stay safe and reliable for drivers,” Jennings said in a press release issued Thursday. Dates for each bridge closure will be released once they are determined, he said. The contract is one of 27 totaling $106.9 million awarded by DOT in March for highway and bridge projects across the state.

THE DAILY ADVANCE, FrIDAY, AprIL 19, 2013 Region/State Powells Point Gates A raleiGh Greenville Coast Guard finds overdue fisherman Man one of two $130K Cash 5 winners Voter ID bill clears 2nd House committee A 70-year-old Currituck County man reported overdue from a Wednesday fishing trip was located by the U.S. Coast Guard earlier today near Powells Point. The man’s wife notified Coast Guard officials at Oregon Inlet Wednesday night that he had not returned from a fishing trip near the Wright Memorial Bridge. The Coast Guard was unable to reach the man on his cell phone or marine band radio. The man’s cellular phone company was able to provide information that led a Coast Guard boat crew to the North River, where they found the man today shortly before 7:30 a.m. The man said he had beached and slept in his 14-foot camouflaged jon boat Wednesday night. A Gates County man is the first to claim one of two winning Cash 5 tickets worth more than $130,000 in Tuesday’s drawing of the North Carolina Education Lottery game. Larry Weikert of Corapeake received a check for $93,340 — his winnings after taxes were withheld — for the winning ticket, which he purchased at the Family Foods of Corapeake store on N.C. Highway 32 North in Corapeake. The second winning ticket holder has yet to come forward, lottery officials said. That ticket, also worth $137,263, was sold at the Ingles on Greenwood Road in Spruce Pine. Winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes. A voter ID bill has passed its second committee test in the North Carolina House and is expected to reach the full floor next week. The House Finance Committee endorsed the bill Thursday on a party-line vote after Democrats again proposed amendments to ease restrictions. The one amendment passed would allow a voter who isn’t yet registered to obtain free identification with the Division of Motor Vehicles. The bill requires voters to show one of many forms of identification at the polls starting in 2016. Republicans say it is necessary to prevent possible fraud. Democrats say fraud rarely happens and there is no need for new burdens to vote.

From AP reports Chamber City filling in sidewalk McCrory unveils new drops gap on Roanoke Avenue transportation plan Harbor Nights By CHRIS KARDISH From staff reports Thorsby: Concerts not part of mission From staff reports Harbor Nights — the once-a-month summertime music festivals on Elizabeth City’s waterfront — is no more. Elizabeth City A r e a Chamber of Comm e r c e President K e l l y Thorsby Thorsby confirmed Wednesday that the festival series, coordinated by the Chamber and held the first Friday of the month between June and September, has been discontinued. Thorsby said the Chamber’s leadership decided that hosting music concerts was not part of the business-boosting group’s mission. Chamber leaders also viewed the monthly waterfront festivals as more of a downtown event, she said. Thorsby said the Chamber’s board of directors reached the decision a few months ago, following a recommendation by the board’s executive committee. The Chamber is putting resources into a variety of other programs, such as “Chamber 101” and nonprofit roundtable meetings, both of which provide Chamber members with networking opportunities, Thorsby said. The idea for Harbor Nights dates back to 2002, when local officials were looking for a way to use the city’s scenic waterfront to attract tourists. Pedestrians making the trek to shopping areas at the western end of Roanoke Avenue will soon have a complete sidewalk to use. City Manager Rich Olson said Tuesday crews are adding about 200 feet of sidewalk to a high-traffic section of Roanoke Avenue, extending the sidewalk in front of the Walkers Landing apartment complex to the small shopping plaza at the corner of Roanoke and Halstead Boulevard. Olson said the city hopes to have the stretch completed this week, but noted in a report to city councilors that a temporary section of sidewalk may be placed around the nearby railroad tracks. Olson said the project has been discussed for several years, following concerns about residents walking in the roadway Associated Press STAff phoTo by bReTT A. clARk city work crews are completing 200 feet of sidewalk along Roanoke Avenue from the Walkers landing apartment complex to a small shopping plaza at the corner of Roanoke and halstead boulevard. once the sidewalk along Roanoke Avenue ends. While no pedestrian accidents have been reported, the work should make the stretch near Halstead safer and more convenient for pedestrians, Olson said. The city had hoped to wrap the project into a sidewalk project for U.S. Highway 17 South, but delays and other issues with the project prompted the city to separate the two, Olson said. RALEIGH — Gov. Pat McCrory wants a new transportation funding model that directs more money to projects that he says will grow North Carolina’s economy. McCrory’s plan introduced Thursday would give more state money to projects that can prove their potential worth. Supporters say the state can use this new funding model despite weak revenues because the plan reprioritizes spending. Secretary of Transportation Tony Tata says his department would redirect about $120 million a year from secondary road maintenance to capital projects of greater impact. Currently, North Carolina has a model that awards funding equally among the state’s 14 divisions. Tata says the new method could let the state work on 85 more projects and create 66,000 more jobs over the next 10 years. Shay Leslie Boutique is celebrating its “19th birthday”!

Pat McCrory’s proposal to overhaul North Carolina’s Medicaid system by shifting patient management to a few managedcare organizations is facing scrutiny from state health budget-writers. Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos and the state’s Medicaid director presented more details Thursday to a legislative committee about McCrory’s proposal designed to eliminate perpetual cost overruns. Wos’ agency would hire up to four companies that would assemble provider networks and come online starting in The Currituck Home, Flower & Garden Show April 19th & 20th April 19th times 1pm - 6pm April 20th times 9am - 4pm Location: NC Cooperative Extension 120 Community Way, Barco, NC 27917 Admission: FREE This ad is sponsored by Currituck County Travel and Tourism. July 2015. The companies will receive a set amount of money per month for each Medicaid patient. Former hospital president Rep. Donny Lambeth told Wos he’s worried the plan will crowd out the current successful Medicaid nonprofit network called Community Care of North Carolina. $BSTPO +FSFNZ1BHF "QSJM 1BSFOUT #SBOEPO5BCJUIB1BHF Now until april 30, 2013 You will receive 19% off your entire purchase With a donation for SPCA! 613 East Main St. Elizabeth City 252-331-2550 Store Hours: Mon-Fri 10am-5:30pm, Sat 10am-5pm MAY BIRTHDAYS Place a Birthday Ad & You Could is May 12th WIN A FREE MOVIE 252-338-3937 Drawing Held Monthly Winner Notified by Phone Eligibility: Ages 12 yrs & Under Ad Cost: $10.00 Publishes: Friday, May 3rd Deadline: Tuesday, April 30th by 4:00 PM Here’s All You Need To do: 1.

That policy is agency budget flexibility. On paper and in political speeches, the notion that the government workers who spend tax dollars know best how to use them sounds good. Actually, it sounds more than good. To an extent, it is probably accurate. In practice, though, the middle managers in state government who have the best ideas about making the best use of tax dollars typically do not have sufficient power to drive a lot of decisionmaking. They carry out the wishes of their upper-level bosses.

For instance, based on pending legislation in the General Assembly, state Republican lawmakers want to know the criminal histories of those citizens who receive federal assistance. But are they equally curious about the criminal history of someone who might teach your son or daughter in a charter school? Apparently not. A Republican-backed bill that would set up a separate oversight board for charter schools includes a provision that removes any requirement that these schools conduct background checks of job applicants. Meanwhile, another bill would ramp up scrutiny of the welfare rolls by requiring local social services departments to conduct background checks of anyone who receives Food and Nutrition Assistance (food stamps) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, which involves cash payments to some needy families. An outstanding warrant for a felony charge or a probation or parole violation disqualifies a person from such programs. As it is now, county social service departments ask applicants about their criminal records and, thus, depend on those applicants’ honesty for an accurate answer. This bill would make certain by mandating a formal caps. Those caps currently fund local school systems at a student-teacher ratio of 17:1 in grades 1-3 and higher for other grades, with actual classroom averages for the lower grades set at no more than 21 students. Proponents argue that it will give local school administrators the flexibility to use their allotted tax dollars, which are provided on a per-pupil basis, to address needs as they see fit. With student performance-based school measures coming, those administrators will be driven to adjust class sizes and move resources in the ways that will best improve the schools, the logic goes. Maybe. Or, maybe future budget pressures cause lawmakers to shrink funding based on higher student-teacher ratios, performance measures are watereddown and, as if by magic, administrative jobs nonetheless grow. Capitol Press Association Letters/Other Views NEWS & RECORD OF GREENSBORO background check for each applicant. And it would compel these agencies to let law enforcement know of anyone who has an outstanding warrant. But how much would the screening cost social service agencies? And who would pay those bills? No one had the answer in that meeting. But the costs could range from $25 to nearly $40 per client and could total hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then there’s the question of collateral damage. Would such a law wind up affecting innocent and hungry children whose parents happen to have run afoul of the law? Probably. So the choice ultimately facing lawmakers is whether this measure would be worth the time and expense. And whether the small amount of good it might do would be outweighed by the unintended consequences. The answer seems obvious. That said, may we offer a pair of constructive alternatives? 1) Restore the background checks for employees in the charter schools bill. No one wants to have to explain someday why somebody should have known a job applicant posed a threat to the safety of children. And 2), given the spate of tainted campaign dona- Good Samaritan drug law makes sense N ow here’s a sensible law that will enable friends and family to respond to a drug crisis without getting hauled off to jail. North Carolina has a very low tolerance for drug users. That’s good. But heretofore, if somebody was suffering from an overdose, they and anyone trying to help them could face arrest and prosecution if illegal drugs were discovered. Medical providers and emergency responders must report the finding of drugs to authorities. Now a Good Samaritan Law pushed by Republican Sens. Stan HICKORY DAILY RECORD Bingham of Davidson and Austin Allran of Catawba gives a pass — within limits — to the person suffering the overdose and someone trying to help by seeking medical attention. It’s not a huge pass, but it could make a difference. Using a controlled substance is against the law. Having a controlled substance is against the law. If an overdose is suspected, however, it’s a good idea to know what drug is involved. So, if a small amount is discovered by medical personnel or presented to them in good faith, misdemeanor or felony charges can be avoided. The law, signed by Gov. Pat McCrory, aims to save lives and forestall serious injury. The law also facilitates getting a stoned drug user to a safe place where he or she can’t do something stupid, risky or violent. The proposal sailed through the General Assembly. It should have. The new law does not permit or encourage wanton drug activity. It allows people to seek help. Going back on alert: Complacency terrorist’s chief ally W ASHINGTON — FBI agents were at Logan Airport in Boston this week reminding people who had traveled to the city for the Marathon, and were now returning home, to empty their cell phones and video cameras of any pictures, and turn them over to the FBI. The message from the agents: What happened at the finish line of the storied Marathon is everybody’s problem, and now it is everybody’s duty to step up and do their part to help find out who was responsible. A terrorist’s ally is complacency, and in the dozen years since the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, we’ve let down our guard. The Boston Marathon, the oldest U.S. race of its kind, commenced without incident 118 times until this year. The security around the race must be examined for us to understand why it ended in such tragedy. Our main defense as a people is our collective alertness, summed up in the phrase that is posted in many public places: “If you see something, say something.” We are veterans of 9/11, having lived through that horrific event and the nervous aftermath when people feared more attacks would follow just as people who remember life before surely as night follows day.

We are asking anyone who may have heard someone speak about the marathon, or the date of April 15, in any way that indicated that he or she may have targeted this event to call us.” Even as we determine what went wrong in Boston, we should commend our police and all our law enforcement personnel for the vigilance they have exhibited, and the threats they have deterred. The Boston bombing was the first major use of IEDs on the homefront since 9/11, and we should acknowledge that other societies, notably in Iraq and Afghanistan, live with these kinds of explosions on a daily basis. Collectively, we can ensure that it does not become routine here. U.S. News Syndicate, Inc. write Us Letters by maiL Letters in Person the daily advance P.O.

ChallengeS Continued from Page 1A undeliverable. ECSU Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Anthony Brown, who was subpoenaed to Thursday’s hearing, vouched for the validity of the housing rosters Gilbert used to issue his challenges. The only other two witnesses subpoenaed, Mark Scheid and Angela Burke, were not required to testify. They had been called solely for Gilbert’s challenge of voter Illiana Thomas, who, in writing, requested the elections board remove her from the county’s voter rolls. Only three of the voters Gilbert challenged appeared at Thursday’s hearing. Two of them, Matthew Henderson and Joshua McFadden, are live-in staff members at ECSU. Both provided billing and other information showing they have lived on campus for years. Their omission from the housing roster was an oversight, the elections board concluded. Gilbert voluntarily withdrew his challenge of Henderson, while the board split, by a 2-1 vote, on dismissing McFadden’s challenge. Gilbert argued McFadden’s failure to obtain a North Carolina driver’s license despite living at ECSU for several years Sentara Continued from Page 1A of the lease. After 10 years, there would be a 2 percent increase — tied to the consumer price index — every year for the remainder of the lease term.

THE DAILY ADVANCE, FrIDAY, AprIL 19, 2013 A — in apparent violation of Board member Jimmy state law — suggested he Ownley sided with Gilbert, wasn’t establishing perma- but board chairwoman nent residence at ECSU. Michele Aydlett and board member William Skinner voted to keep him on the rolls. The other voter who attended Thursday’s hearing, Shanay Thomas, asked that her name be removed from the county’s voter rolls, admitting she falsely claimed ECSU as her residence in last year’s election. Gilbert accused Thomas of committing perjury, but asked the board not pursue criminal action against her. He instead asked the board to inquire how she was able to register to vote. But following Cox’s advice, the elections board decided not to question Thomas since she had voluntarily asked to be removed from the voter rolls. The board also dismissed Gilbert’s challenge of Tasia Larri Foote, but only after a 2-1 vote. Foote’s name appeared on ECSU’s housing roster for the winter semester but not on the roster for the fall semester when the election was held. Skinner persuaded Aydlett that there was reasonable doubt that Foote wasn’t living on campus in November; Ownley voted against dismissing her challenge. The board unanimously sustained most other challenges, which often appeared to be cases of students graduating and not updating their residence with the county. Skinner opposed a few challenges, arguing it wasn’t clear voters had abandoned their current residences, there were contradictions between fall and winter housing rosters, or other factors. Skinner opposed removing voters Ashley Robbins, Igwurube Nnani, Lynette Long and James Webb Jr., from the rolls. After Thursday’s hearings, Gilbert, chairman of the Pasquotank Republican Party, thanked the elections board for sustaining most of his challenges, and denied pursuing a partisan agenda. He said the challenged voters included Republicans and independents, not just Democrats, and said he wanted all young people to vote — legally. “We had 57 acts of voter fraud uncovered today,” Gilbert told the board. He criticized ECSU for not doing a better job of informing students of election laws. ECSU officials there are “putting young folks in danger by giving bad advice,” he said. With the hearings concluded, Gilbert said he hopes to meet with Chancellor Willie Gilchrist to discuss improving voter registration on campus. Also attending the hearings was Clare Barnett, an attorney with the Southern Coalition for Social Justice. Barnett said she was attending the hearings at the request of the Pasquotank chapter of the NAACP. She said both organizations are investigating Gilbert’s challenges, but aren’t planning to contest any yet. Barnett and Gilbert exchanged a few words during the hearings, outlining different legal views on student voting. Gilbert argued that election law “has been misapplied for years” and that college dormitories, by their nature temporary residences, generally shouldn’t be used as a voting address. He said he thinks college students should vote in their hometowns, by absentee ballots if necessary. Barnett disagreed, saying the U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed college students don’t have to demonstrate they’ll stay in their college towns indefinitely to vote there. same week task force members were scheduled to visit Sentara Obici Hospital, a hospital Sentara operates in Suffolk, Va. The task force also met with top representatives of the other two health care systems that have submitted lease proposals — Greenvillebased Vidant Health and Brentwood, Tenn.-based Duke LifePoint — and plans site visits to hospitals they operate as well. David Twiddy, chairman of the Albemarle Hospital Authority Board of Commissioners and a member of the task force, praised Sentara’s new offer Thursday as a positive response to task force concerns. He said the new offer shows “they did exactly what they said they would do” during the closed-door meeting several weeks ago. He said the task force urged Sentara to guarantee the county would receive a lease payment, as Duke LifePoint and Vidant did in their proposals. A number of county commissioners had complained about the contingent nature of the lease payments in Sentara’s original proposal. “That was a huge concern,” Twiddy said. Although Sentara’s new terms make its proposal much more competitive, “there’s still no front-runner” for the hospital lease, Twiddy said. Task force members say they’re still early in a long, thorough review of each proposal. Vidant apparently has no plans at the moment to submit a modified lease proposal. “We at Vidant Health believe that we submitted a high-quality, fair and competitive initial proposal responsive to the RFP,” said Dr. David Herman, president and chief executive officer of Vidant Health. Vidant has proposed an annual lease payment of $1.29 million, rising to $1.6 million by 2039. Vidant proposed a 30-year initial lease term with two renewal options of 10 years each. Vidant proposed contributing $450,000 a year for EMS. Herman said there is nothing unusual about a proposal being updated. “It is not unusual for an organization to update its proposal throughout the RFP process if the organization feels as if it is needed to be consistent and competitive with other proposals, or to better meet the needs of the process,” Herman said. A Duke LifePoint spokeswoman Thursday had no immediate reaction to Sentara’s modified proposal. Duke LifePoint proposed a 40-year lease term with annual lease payments of $2.5 million. Its proposal stated that EMS support was “to be determined.” Police said they obtained a warrant to search Baker’s residence after receiving numerous complaints about alleged illegal drug activity and illegal fire- arms sales taking place there. During the search, officers encountered a bedroom on the second floor where 16 animals — 11 dogs, two wild squirrels, two snakes and a guinea pig — were being housed. The floor of the room was covered in animal feces, police said. The Pasquotank County Department of Social Services was contacted about the child, and Pasquotank County animal control officers took possession of the animals, police said. Baker’s first appearance in Pasquotank County District Court was Thursday. He was released after posting a $16,000 secured bond.

They look a little like Lenten roses. Plants are found throughout the eastern half of North America from Canada to Florida. One of my students brought me a sample recently for identification, so I thought I’d write about it. Deer, rabbits, birds and other wildlife never eat these leaves, so plants can form a solid carpet on the forest floor. If you look closely you’ll notice some have white flowers, which are mostly hidden by dense foliage. Plants have either one or two leaves. If comprised of two leaves, these herbs will have a flower. Single leaved plants will not. This plant is the mayapple, also known as devil’s apple, hog apple, Indian apple, umbrella plant, wild lemon, and American mandrake. It is in the barberry family. There is good reason why animals avoid mayapple leaves and don’t dig out roots. In almost all stages this non-woody plant is poisonous, in fact deadly poisonous. Underground parts of the plant are the most toxic, but they have anticancer properties and are used in chemotherapy. The compound in question is podophyllotoxin, an alkaloid that is highly poisonous in even moderate quantity. Some Native American tribes even fashioned preparations rich in this chemical as a suicide drug. In my native Maine, Penobscot Indians prepared mayapple roots and rhizomes in poultice form to control skin warts. Podophyllotoxin is used to synthesize etoposide, teniposide and etopophos. These compounds have been used for the treatment of lung and testicular cancers as well as certain leukemias. These chemicals work, because they stop cell division and also restrain tumor production. Podophyllotoxin is also being modified and tested for rheumatoid arthritis treatment in Europe. Several podophyllotoxin preparations also can be purchased to treat genital warts. Another medicinal use for this plant is as a laxative. If you are my age or older you might recall ‘Carter’s little liver pills.’ Mayapple comprised the active ingredient of these powerful laxatives. It’s probably good that the pills were little. Too much could have been a major problem. The only part of the mayapple that is edible is the fruit, and that is only when it is fully ripe. Contrary to its name, fruits ripen in July or August, not May. When they ripen, deer will aggressively consume them. A patch of ripe mayapples is also a good place to find box turtles. Egg-shaped fruits with multiple seeds are ripe when soft and emit a lemon-like aroma. Flavor of these berries is like a cross between a lemon and a fig. Fully ripe fruits can be eaten fresh, fashioned into preserves or used in baking. Discard seeds if possible, as they contain toxic compounds. This likely wouldn’t be a problem if you don’t chew any seeds. Some people might be confused how a plant can be so toxic and yet other parts are edible. Don’t be.

Contemporarily, there are fewer and fewer quilters willing to spend hours with needle in hand. Today and Saturday you’ll get the opportunity to view both new works and historic, vintage examples of the craft. The Colonial Quilt Lovers 2013 Quilt Show happens in Elizabeth City and the Vintage show happens in Edenton as a part of the historic town’s Biennial Pilgrimage. In Elizabeth City, the Quilt Lovers will hold their show at the Knobbs Creek Recreation Center today and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. This is a juried show, according to organization member Carol Cooper. Judging took place Wednesday. Cooper says the quilts are submitted into a variety of categories, including bed quilts, or art quilts. Each of them will be displayed inside the gym, but only seven will be for sale, says Cooper. Included in the show are a handful of quilts will stories to tell. Cooper points to two particular quilts. An art quilt, which is a wall hanging, was done by a member of the military living in Virginia Beach, Va., Constance Spotts. Spotts, according to Cooper, was stationed in Afghanistan when she made the quilt. She used a small sewing machine operated on batteries. The quilt is titled, “Postcards from Jack,” based upon the fairytale, “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Another unique quilt is unique not for the quilt itself, but rather for the quilter. Twelve-year-old David Thompson learned to quilt from his grandmother. He made his quilt for his baby sister, says Cooper. The show will include 121 quilts. There will be vendors, primarily offering quilting supplies. Cooper says the Colonial Quilt Lovers participate in Quilts of Valor, The Linus Project and ,Comfort Quilts.

Vintage quilts lovers will have the opportunity to see some of the country’s finest examples of these historic textiles, including those from the 1800s, during the Biennial Pilgrimage, today and Saturday. That exhibit, along with a fi- ber arts show and sale, will be held from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the 1767 Chowan Courthouse both days of the tour. An exhibit showcasing vintage clothing and antiques will be located at Pembroke Hall. It will take place during regular tour hours. At the Barker House tour-goers can enjoy an exhibit in the second floor gallery honoring the life and work of renowned Edenton novelist Inglis Fletcher from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. both days. The exhibit includes a portrait of Fletcher that hangs on the East Carolina University campus in the dorm that bears her name. Marcel Miller of Edenton, who is a certified quilt judge and quilter, is organizing the vintage quilt exhibit downstairs at the historic courthouse. She said she thought the exhibit was a good fit for the tour. “I think it will be appropriate to have period quilts as part of the Pilgrimage weekend events,” Miller said. See quilts, 8a Pilgrimage opens historic home doors today By ReBecca Bunch Chowan Herald EDENTON —When people come to Edenton for the Biennial Pilgrimage, they are not coming just to see old houses, organizers say. While each house on the tour must be at least 100 years old to qualify for inclusion, they are also home to someone’s family. Those families, in a show of community spirit, have agreed to open their doors and share their homes with visitors. That tradition will continue today and Saturday when the Pilgrimage takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nineteen homes will be featured on the tour. Sally Francis Kehayes, who led the effort on behalf of the Edenton Woman’s Club to recruit homeowners to participate, said she thinks that is what makes this particular tour so appealing to visitors. “When people go on the Pilgrimage tour they are visiting a group of wonderful old houses that are not museums, silent and empty,” Kehayes said. “They are the homes of living, breathing families who keep these houses alive.” Club president Nancy Schroeder said that for this tour that is taking place during Edenton’s 300th anniversary celebration, the club has gone all out to create a memorable experience for visitors. In addition to a tour that features a larger number of open homes — usually a dozen or so are included — special events including a vintage quilt show as well as a fiber arts show and sale are planned, courtesy of the Chowan Arts Council. Those events will take place inside the 1767 Chowan Courthouse both days of the tour.

Included in the exhibit will be an 1895 wedding gown and two ball gowns. Also at Pembroke Hall will be a collection of antiques owned by a member of the Edenton Woman’s Club and an exhibit from the North Carolina Museum of History. Michael Ausbon, an associate curator at the museum, will be bringing items that originated in Chowan County that are part of the museum’s collection. Those stopping by the Barker House will have the opportunity to enjoy an exhibit created by the Edenton Woman’s Club honoring the life and work of noted local author Inglis Fletcher. Hours for those exhibits will be 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Tickets for the Pilgrimage are $25 if purchased in advance or $30 if purchased during the tour. A ticket is good for both days of the tour. Tickets for the vintage quilts exhibit will be $6 if purchased along with a Pilgrimage tour ticket; otherwise, quilt tickets will be $7 per person. Admission for the fiber arts show is free. Anyone wishing to reserve tickets may contact Nancy Schroeder, club president and tour chairwoman, at (252) 482-7825 or the Barker House at (252) 482-7800. Tickets will also be available at tour headquarters — the town council chambers on South Broad Street — either day of the tour. A THE DAILY ADVANCE, FrIDAY, AprIL 19, 2013 AlbemArle life Restore dry, red skin Man’s wife still cheats D ear Doctor K: Winter has wreaked havoc on my skin. It’s dry, itchy and cracked. What can I do to restore it, now that spring is here? Dear Reader: When the air is dry, it sucks moisture away from our skin. Our skin is built to retain moisture, but as we grow older it doesn’t do as good a job. Wintertime poses a special problem because humidity is low both outdoors and indoors. The combination of unusually dry air and aging leads to dry skin. I was raised in Southern California, and the air was not particularly dry even in winter. As a result, I virtually never had a problem with dry skin — except after I stayed out in the sun too much. When I came to Boston in my 20s, my young skin was exposed for the first time to long periods of really dry air in winter. Still, my skin never got dry until I entered my late 40s. I began to notice roughness, flaking, itching and cracking. That’s when I started to do a few simple and inexpensive things. Skin moisturizers, which rehydrate the outermost layer of your skin and seal in moisture, are a good first step. Moisturizers contain three main types of ingredients. Humectants help attract moisture. Other chemicals — petrolatum, silicone, lanolin and mineral oil — help seal that moisture within the skin. Emollients, such as linoleic, linolenic and lauric acids, smooth skin by filling in the spaces between skin cells. In general, the thicker and greasier a moisturizer, the more effective it will be. Some of the most effective are petroleum jelly and moisturizing oils, which prevent water loss without clogging pores. Because they contain no water, they’re best used while the skin is still damp from bathing, to seal in the moisture. Other moisturizers contain water as well as oil. These are less greasy. Here are some additional ways to combat dry skin: • Use a humidifier. • Limit yourself to one fiveto 10-minute bath or shower daily. • Use lukewarm water rather than hot water. When hot water evaporates from your skin, it takes away more moisture. • Minimize your use of soaps. If necessary, choose moisturizing preparations, or consider soap-free cleansers. • Steer clear of deodorant soaps, perfumed soaps and alcohol products. • Avoid bath sponges, scrub brushes and washcloths. • Pat or blot (don’t rub) the skin when toweling dry. • Apply moisturizer immediately after bathing or after washing your hands. • Don’t scratch dry spots. Most of the time, a moisturizer or cold pack can control the itch. • Use fragrance-free laundry detergents and avoid fabric softeners. • Avoid wearing wool and other fabrics that can irritate the skin. Chronically dry skin is chronically irritated skin. It is more likely to develop blotchy colors and chapped areas. Keeping your skin moist will improve its appearance. Anthony KomAroff, m.D. Quilts Continued from Page 7A The quilts, dating from 1880 to 1930, have been created over many years by quilters from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, Miller said. Some have been handed down Universal Uclick by family members; others have been purchased by those who simply love quilts, she said. “Most of what people will be seeing will be piece work quilts,” Miller said. “I believe we’ll have about 50 quilts on exhibit.” Miller said featured patterns would include basket quilts, star quilts cadillac and Irish chain quilts. The known history of each quilt will be provided as part of the exhibit, Miller said. No quilts will be available for purchase. Murielle Harmon, Chowan Arts Council executive director, said that the work would reflect a tradition of quilt making that is indigenous to the D ear Abby: I am a 47-yearold male, married for 26 years. I am hopelessly in love with my wife and still see her as the most beautiful woman in the world. I have always been self-employed and have sometimes been at the extremes of feast or famine. During the bad times, I often worked 110-plus-hour weeks to save the ship. Each time things have gotten really bad, my wife has had an affair to make up for the time, money and attention I can’t provide her. I found out about her latest affair (her third) when I found a secret cellphone in her purse. I feel responsible for failing to meet her needs. She doesn’t want a divorce, but admits she doubts she will ever fully stop dating, and says the effort she puts into deceiving me is proof she loves me and doesn’t want to hurt my feelings. My heart is broken, and I feel like a failure. Am I a fool to keep fighting for her? — Hopelessly in Love Dear Hopelessly in Love: I hope you realize that as “beautiful” as your wife may be, your relationship with her isn’t a healthy one. Please go online and look up the definition of the word “codependency.” If your wife loved you, she would prove it by doing everything in her power to HELP you through the rough periods, including finding a job to help with the bills, not sneaking around with other men. That she would claim her deceit is “proof of her love,” and that you would believe her, is amazing. This woman has shown no remorse; she has told you she doesn’t plan to be faithful in the future. Do not let her hoodwink you into believing her infidelity is your fault because you worked yourself nearly into a physical collapse trying to save your business and provide for her. If you accept that, it WOULD be foolish. Dear Abby: What is proper etiquette for someone who takes pictures at a funeral? I am a recent widow who received a package from an out-of-town relative. In it were several envelopes for my family. One of them was for my sister. Inside were photos taken at my husband’s funeral — pictures of the funeral home, inside the church, the casket, and some of me and my daughter sitting at the gravesite. Abby, it was like going to the funeral all over again! Why would someone take pictures of such a sad event? — Grieving Widow in Indiana Dear Grieving: I can only imagine the shock you experienced when you saw the photos. No one should take pictures at funerals without first having received permission from the immediate survivors such as the widow, widower or children. That said, the practice is not as uncommon as you might think. After a period of time, family members have been known to find comfort in having them. Short of asking your permission, your trauma could have been avoided had the relative who sent the pictures thought to label the envelopes or include a note explaining what was inside them. That way, you wouldn’t have had to view them until you were ready — if ever. AbigAil VAn buren area. It will also reflect the thriftiness of homemakers of the time, she said. “They had to be good stewards that took very good care of these quilts so that they could be passed down for future generations,” Harmon said. Harmon said that the fiber art show and sale that Universal Uclick will take place upstairs at the old courthouse would include a variety of creative art pieces such as hand-knitted animals created by Sandy Hendee of Edenton. There will also be more recent quilts created during the 1970s and 1980s, Harmon said, that will be for sale.

NBA coaching carousel begins The NBA’s coaching carousel is already spinning in three cities, with more likely to come. Doug Collins resigned as coach of the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, a move that was clearly expected after the posturing of the last few days. Collins got to choose his own path, while Byron Scott and Lawrence Frank didn’t have that option. Scott was fired after three seasons leading the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Frank is out after two years with the Detroit Pistons. Scott and Frank were probably the two coaches most likely to face firings in this offseason, though others likely remain on the proverbial hot seat. Wolfpack add JUCO transfer RALEIGH — North Carolina State has added junior college transfer Desmond Lee to its backcourt. Coach Mark Gottfried announced Thursday that Lee has signed with the Wolfpack. The 6-foot-4, 194-pound guard averaged 20.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists last season at New Mexico Junior College. He will be counted upon to bolster a backcourt that had Lorenzo Brown enter the NBA draft early and Rodney Purvis transfer to Connecticut.

Then there was 10th grade and the transformation into ‘J-Nasty.’ “I knew I wanted to take it further around my sophomore year, when I actually enjoyed it and stepped up,” said the Pasquotank outside hitter. “When I was considered a star, that’s when I knew I could make it bigger, so I took Coming SatUrday NHS’ Taylor Jernigan commits to play basketball at Barton that step.” That growth in ability never really stopped — earning an intimidating nickname to boot — and it led last fall’s co-Northeastern Coastal Conference Player of the Year to move forward into college ball, signing a letter of intent to play at Chowan. A four-year varsity player and three-time all-conference standout for the Lady Panthers, Miller almost single handedly shaped the program into an NCC contender, using an effective blend of hard-hitting offense, gritty defense and quick passing. Now she’s excited about making an impact on the next level for the Lady Hawks, opting for a rival of Elizabeth City State’s in the Division II ranks of the CIAA rather than stay in her hometown. “I kind of wanted to get away and get the college experience, which Chowan can provide,” Miller said. “I know it’s pretty quiet there and not much to do, but you can make the best out of it and stay busy. And come home if I get bored.” The origin of ‘J-Nasty’ actually took shape when Pasquotank coach Josh Mallory noticed her budding abilities as a freshman. file Photo Pasquotank’s Jordan Miller (right), one of the program’s most prolific players, signed to play college volleyball at chowan. Former teammate Tracie Twine, now a defensive specialist at ECSU, did the rest. “I started playing, and she (Twine) thought I was pretty good, and she said, ‘You’re nasty. J-Nasty.’ Nothing bad of course,” said Miller, who finished with more than 700 kills at Pasquotank. “It was nice being on varsity with older girls and have them notice.” Mallory still marvels at his big-time pupil, the first col- lege-level player to play alongside him in each of his first four years with the Lady Panthers. To him, she’s always been ‘J-Nasty.’ “I love it (the nickname) because that’s the type of player I look for,” Mallory said. “A girl that has that nasty mentality on the court.

B THE DAILY ADVANCE, FrIDAY, AprIL 19, 2013 SportS two To locate fish, pay attention to details W hen I am fishing the first thing I try to do is try to find the fish. I know what you’re thinking is that we are always trying to find the fish. What I mean is find the pattern that the fish are following in order to increase my chances for a strike. Let’s say that we are fishing a river for the day and we are looking for a largemouth. We first look at the time of year like now in the spring the bass tend to be up in the creeks so we look at the creeks in the area and pick one out. It could be one you fished before or one you had luck in the past in the spring. Look back on the past trips and try to remember what creek looked good even if you did not catch any fish the last time. What we are looking for in a good creek in relatively deep water with wood or stumps on points and close to the channel. This allows the fish to have ambush spots in order to chase bait fish. Now we picked out a creek and have to narrow the pattern down to something we can work with. What I like to do is work a fast bait like a spinner bait or pitching a worm or other bait crank bait and hit every piece of ishing on the structure. structure and creek bend I pass This is the way we find fish while moving up the creek. and there can be more than one I am looking for a reaction pattern in one day so while we bite from the fish and this alare fishing between our favorlows me to slow down and look ite stumps fish fast and try to closer in those areas. locate other patterns that could Let’s say we are working our pay off.

Rizzo hit a two-run homer in the third inning and Soriano followed with a shot that gave the Cubs a 50 lead against Alexi Ogando (2-1). Soriano’s homer accounted for his first RBI of the season. Welington Castillo added a career-high four hits as Chicago ended its threegame losing streak.

That’s a challenge the 5-foot-11 player embraces, and one Mallory is certain she will take on with likely starting time as a freshman. “Chowan is a great fit for her, just because of the immediate impact she will make as a player,” Mallory said. “She may not be the biggest girl or the most dynamic, but what college coaches look at is how well can she pass and how well can she play defense. “Just the way she can read a defense and make plays on balls, she can take over a court with her defense.” SOFTBALL CORNER MARKET AUCTIONS Saturday, april 20th preview: Friday 4/19 NooN-6pM puBliC auCtioN: 9:30aM CoNSigNMeNt auCtioN 1314 S hwy 17, elizaBeth City (Right before Brady Outdoor and Stateline Builders on 17 SOUTH) Snap-On Tools, Compressors, Pro Cut ON CAR Brake Lathes, PFN-92 DRUM CUTTER, 1966 Ford Fairlane Windows, 1960’s Chevy/Corvette Service Tools, Tires & Rims, Coins, Morgan Silvers, 1966 $100 RED SEAL Note, Gold Certificate, Old Currency Notes, Jewelery (Sterling, Gold & Diamonds), Carnival Glass, Depression Glass,Old Soda Crates & Bottles, Vtg Chicken Feeder, Antique Sausage Stuffer & Cast Iron Cookware, Hurricane Lanterns, Bicycles, Kundo & Ingram Clocks, Vintage Fishing Tackle Box & Lures, 1950’s Texaco Fire Chief Pedal Car, Vintage Toys, Marx Tin, Lionel Trains, Signed Sports Memorabilia (Tyson, Hulk Hogan, Earnhardt, Allison Much More) Large Collection of Old Comic Books, Vintage Advertisement Signs, Budweiser NASCAR Dale Earnhardt Jr Hood, New & Antique Furniture, 410 Shotgun Western Saddle, Quilts 8&8*--4501'03$0*/4BOE0-%$633&/$:BU Good Food available Bake Sale to benefit SPCA Silent Auction items for SPCA CorNer Market auCtioNS www.auctionzip.com ID:33135 facebook.com/ cornermarketauctions .FMZTTB%VSSFO /$"- 252-489-7919 4QFODFS"OESVT /$"- 252-216-9377 Corner Market Auctions Firm License # 9547 SportS three THE DAILY ADVANCE, FrIDAY, AprIL 19, 2013 B StatS & StandingS Area 5PEBZT(BNFT )*()4$)00#BTFCBMM $VSSJUVDLBU&EFOUPOQN 1BTRVPUBOLBU#FSUJFQN /PSUITJEFBU$BNEFOQN )FSUGPSEBU/PSUIFBTUFSOQN 1FSRVJNBOTBU3JWFSTJEFQN 4PGUCBMM $VSSJUVDLBU&EFOUPOQN 1BTRVPUBOLBU#FSUJFQN /PSUITJEFBU$BNEFOQN )FSUGPSEBU/PSUIFBTUFSOQN 1FSRVJNBOTBU3JWFSTJEFQN 5SBDL $BNEFO 1BTRVPUBOL BU /PSUIFBTUFSO QN Baseball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ootball /'-5FBN4DIFEVMFT 8BTIJOHUPO .PO4FQUWT1IJMBEFMQIJBQN 4VO4FQUBU(SFFO#BZQN 4VO4FQUWT%FUSPJUQN 4VO4FQUBU0BLMBOEQN 0DU#ZF 4VO0DUBU%BMMBTQN 4VO0DUWT$IJDBHPQN 4VO0DUBU%FOWFSQN 4VO/PWWT4BO%JFHPQN 5IV/PWBU.JOOFTPUBQN 4VO/PWBU1IJMBEFMQIJBQN .PO /PW WT 4BO 'SBODJTDP QN 4VO %FD WT /FX :PSL (JBOUT QN 4VO%FDWT,BOTBT$JUZQN 4VO%FDBU"UMBOUBQN 4VO%FDWT%BMMBTQN 4VO%FDBU/FX:PSL(JBOUTQN $BSPMJOB 4VO4FQUWT4FBUUMFQN 4VO4FQUBU#VGGBMPQN 4VO 4FQU WT /FX :PSL (JBOUT QN 4VO4FQU#ZF 4VO0DUBU"SJ[POBQN 4VO0DUBU.JOOFTPUBQN Friday TV AUTO RACING 7 a.m. NBCSN — Formula One, practice for Bahrain Grand Prix, at Sakhir, Bahrain 2:30 p.m. SPEED — NASCAR, Sprint Cup, practice for STP 400, at Kansas City, Kan.

Peyton vs. younger brother Eli in another Manning Bowl. Andy Reid returning to Philadelphia: Let the booing begin now? The NFL schedule is filled with return visits and intriguing matchups, beginning with a road game for the defending Super Bowl champions. And Peyton Manning will be part of that too, as the Baltimore Ravens travel to Denver for the now-traditional Thursday night opener on Sept. 5. The Orioles are home that night and Major League Baseball could not move their game. So $121 million quarterback Joe Flacco and his fellow champs were sent to Denver — to face Manning and the team they beat in double overtime on their way to the Super Bowl. The next week, Peyton visits Eli’s house. Both Manning brothers often Hardy Continued from Page 1B his staff. “I’m catching the ball a lot better now, my route-running is a lot better, I got faster and I’ve gained a lot more weight, like 25 or 30 pounds since I’ve been here. Those are things you notice.” If the first two years of his ECU career were representative of Hardy figuring things out, the next two could be off the charts, especially with fellow junior Shane Carden returning to throw him the ball the next two seasons. Last year, Hardy also chalked up the third-best single season in Pirate history in terms of yards with 1,105. In 2010, both Harris (1,123) and Lance Lewis (1,116) accumulated slightly more. If spring practice is telling, Hardy hasn’t skipped a beat. He snared touch- have said it’s uncomfortable yet memorable playing against each other; it’s only happened twice, with Peyton and the Colts winning. Even though Peyton now is a Bronco, the dynamic is unchanged for the star quarterbacks. “We haven’t talked about it a whole lot,” Eli said. “More kind of joking and jabs at each other, but obviously anytime you play your brother it is special. It is unique and I cherish those moments whether before the game or looking across during the national anthem and seeing my big brother and seeing him at the coin flip; those are great moments that we’ll cherish.” The folks in Indy cherished having Peyton Manning as their record-setting quarterback for 13 seasons; he sat out 2011 after several neck surgeries, then was released by the Colts and signed with Denver. The reception he almost certainly will receive at Lucas Oil Stadium will be warm and loud. Reid jokingly acted surprised about the Chiefs’ Week 3 trip to the City of Brotherly Love — and, at times, venom for the coach of the Eagles, which Reid was for 14 seasons. Reid and the rest of the Chiefs knew about it long ago, and they got the Thursday night down passes in each of the Pirates’ first two scrimmages, and he said the entire offense is getting better just as quickly as he is. “I can see, I can feel it,” Hardy said of the rapid growth of the unit. “We’ve gotten bigger, stronger, faster and it’s going to carry over to this season.” On a similar pace all spring has been fellow junior inside receiver Danny Webster, who could be poised for his breakout campaign. He too has scored touchdowns in each of the Pirates’ two scrimmages to date. Last season, Webster emerged as the team’s third leading receiver with 34 catches for 332 yards and five TDs. So much returning talent on offense would seem to create a good deal of pressure, but Webster said he and his teammates are only feeling the heat from one source — themselves. “This team is taking ap file photo Super Bowl champion Baltimore will open the 2013 season on the road at Denver on Sept. 5. spotlight. “We’re playing Philly?” said Reid, hired by Kansas City days after being fired in Philly. “Nah, it’ll be an exciting atmosphere. It always is at Lincoln Financial Field there. But right now, I’m a Chief, so we’re going to get ourselves ready to play, whenever and wherever we have to play this season.” strides I didn’t actually think were possible from one year to the next,” Webster said, saying the growth of the team in the last two years is unlike anything else he’s experienced in sports. “There is definitely no outside pressure or anything we’re worried about or nervous Other high-profile games: —The Sunday night season opener is the Giants at the Cowboys, and the Monday night doubleheader has Philadelphia at Washington — with or without Offensive Rookie of the Year Robert Griffin III, who is rehabilitating a major knee injury — then Houston at San Diego. “I will say this: Here comes the about. The pressure might be there with your teammates, because if you’ve got a job to get done, you’re going to get it done. “If one position group messes up, the coach might not even have to say anything because we’ve got guys on this team that will get on you.” NORTHEAST DRAGWAY Lake ROaD, HeRTFORD www.northeastdragway.net FRiDay, aPRiL 19 TH TEST & TuNE GATES OPEN 6PM TEST 7PM - 10PM AdMiSSiON $10 SaTuRDay, aPRiL 20 TH BRAckET RAcE & 5.90-6.90 INDEx HEADS up RAcING GATES OPEN AT 11AM i TEST 1PM - 3PM EliMiNATiONS 3PM | AdMiSSiON $10 For more info, call 264-2066, 264-9902 or 333-8442 challenge again,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “We didn’t play as well last year on the road as we had in previous years and so that’s a great challenge for our team.” —Thanksgiving Day has Detroit hosting Green Bay — once an every-year occurrence — and Dallas at home for Oakland.

By dENISE LAVOIE and AdAM GELLER Associated Press BOSTON — Plucking a couple of blurry faces in baseball caps out of a swarming crowd, the FBI zeroed in on two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing and shared surveillance-camera images of them with the world Thursday in hopes the public will help hunt them down. The photos and video depict one young man in a dark cap and another in a white cap worn backward, both carrying backpacks and one walking behind the other on the sidewalk near the finish line as marathoners run by. The man in the white hat was seen setting down a backpack at the site of the second explosion, said Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston. “Somebody out there knows these individuals as friends, neighbors, coworkers or family members of the suspects,” he said. “Though it may be difficult, the nation is counting on those with information to come forward and provide it to us.” They looked much like typical college students, but DesLauriers described them as armed and extremely dangerous, and urged anyone who sees or knows them to tell law enforcement and “do not take any action on your own.” The break in the investigation came just three days after the attack that killed three people, tore off limbs and raised the specter of another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. FBI photo-analysis specialists have been analyzing a mountain of surveillance footage and amateur pictures and video for clues to who carried out the attack and why. The volume of information is likely to grow, joined now by a torrent of tips from people who think they might know the suspects. In releasing the images, the FBI gambled that useful clues will emerge, not just time-wasting leads. Authorities are selective in putting out images of suspects because doing so risks tipping off the hunted and losing the element of surprise. But it can be a last resort when authorities hit a wall trying to identify or capture someone. Within moments of the announcement, the FBI website crashed, perhaps because of a crush of visi- tors. The images were released hours after President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attended an interfaith service at a Roman Catholic cathedral in Boston to remember the dead and the more than 180 wounded in the twin blasts Monday at the finish line of the 26.2mile race. The FBI video is a compilation of segments, altogether about 30 seconds long. The planting of the backpack, as described by authorities, was not part of the footage made public. The man in the dark hat was dubbed Suspect 1 and appeared to be wearing sunglasses. The other, in the white hat, was labeled Suspect 2. Both appeared to be wearing dark jackets. The FBI did not comment on the men’s height, weight or age range and would not discuss their ethnicity. Rescuers search plant’s ruins for blast survivors Cause of blast that killed 15 unknown By NOMAAN MERCHANT ANd JOHN L. MONE Associated Press WEST, Texas —Rescuers searched the smoking remnants of a Texas farm town Thursday for survivors of a thunderous fertilizer plant explosion, gingerly checking smashed houses and apartments for anyone still trapped in debris or bodies of the dead. The accident killed as many as 15 people and injured more than 160 others. Daylight revealed a breathtaking band of destruction extending for a four- or five-block radius around the West Fertilizer Co. in the small community of West, about 20 miles north of Waco. The blast shook the ground with the strength of a small earthquake and leveled homes, apartments, a school and a nursing home. Its dull boom could be heard dozens of miles away. Waco police Sgt. William Patrick Swanton described ongoing search-and-rescue efforts as “tedious and time-consuming,” noting crews had to shore up much of the wreckage before going in. Searchers “have not gotten to the point of no return where they don’t think that there’s anybody still alive,” Swanton said. He did not know how many people had been rescued. There was no indication the blast, which sent up a mushroom-shaped plume of smoke and left behind a crater, was anything other than an industrial accident, he said. The Wednesday night explosion rained burning embers and debris down on terrified residents. Morning exposed a landscape wrapped in acrid smoke and strewn with the shattered remains of buildings, furniture and personal belongings. Dogs with collars but no owners trotted nervously through deserted streets in cordoned-off neighborhoods around the decimated plant. The entire second floor of a nearby apartment complex was destroyed, leaving bricks and mattresses among the rubble. One rescue crew going from apartment to apartment gave special attention to a room where only a child’s red and blue bunk bed remained. While the community tended to its deep wounds, investigators awaited clearance to enter the blast zone for clues to what set off the plant’s huge stockpile of volatile chemicals. “It’s still too hot to get in there,” said Franceska Perot, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The death toll was uncertain. Three to five volunteer firefighters were believed to be among the dead, which authorities said could number as many as 15.

Celebrating world cinema from countries with limited freedom of expression is clearly one of this year’s stories, with works from Chad, China and Iran among the 19 films competing for the Palme d’Or, one of cinema’s most coveted prizes. Old favorite filmmakers of the festival also fared well. Joel and Ethan Coen, who won the Palme d’Or in 1991 for “Barton Fink,” will show their latest film “Inside Llewyn Davis,” set in New York’s 1960s folk music scene, starring Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake and John Goodman. Soderbergh, who caused controversy with 1989’s Palme d’Or winner “Sex, Lies and Videotape,” is back with “Behind the Candelabra,” based on the book by Scott Thorson recounts his relationship with the flamboyant pianist Liberace. Roman Polanski’s “Venus In Fur” could give the Oscar-winning Polish director his second Cannes accolade. He won in 2002 with “The Pianist.” “Only God Forgives,” Ryan Gosling’s second film with “Drive” director Nicolas Winding Refn, is also in the running. Gosling, paired with Kristin Scott Thomas, stars as a criminal in the Bangkok underworld. Organizers sifted through 1,858 submissions over recent months. Some were submitted as late as Wednesday night, 12 hours before the official selection would be announced. Last year, Cannes was accused of sexism for a shortlist that included no women. This year, there is one female Palme d’Or contender, Valeria BruniTedeschi with her first feature, “A Chateau in Italy.” BruniTedeschi is the sister of former French first lady Carla Bruni. “The Great Gatsby,” with Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role and directed by Australian Baz Luhrmann, will open Francois Mori/ap photo president of the cannes Film Festival Gilles Jacob (right) and artistic Director thierry Fremaux, attend a news conference to announce this 2013 festival line up in paris, thursday. this year’s Cannes festival — in 3-D, no less. The film will be making its premiere but is not entered in the competition. Hollywood giant Steven Spielberg heads the jury at the festival at the French Riviera this year, which runs May 15-26. ! &</2@6<D "3D@ ! !# ! ! ! # ! ! ! ! ! $ ! !" Tuning in: Twitter launches music feature ABC’s Robin Roberts hospitalized again NEW YORK — Robin Roberts spent two days in the hospital fighting off an infection as part of her recuperation from a rare blood disease, and is off “Good Morning America” this week to rest. The ABC News morning show host said she felt ill last week while on vacation and was told to return to New York and go to the hospital. She’s home now, and posted on Facebook on Thursday that she’s feeling much better. Roberts underwent a bone marrow transplant in September to treat MDS, a blood and bone marrow disease. She was off work for five months before returning to the top-rated network morning show on a parttime basis in February. She’s generally worked three days a week, occasionally four. At the beginning of her return, ABC kept a potential fill-in on call at the studio in case she was feeling too ill to continue, the network said. Roberts said doctors told her that her setback did not occur because she was working or doing too much. “It’s extremely common, " ! 3@A 3A@ post-bone marrow transplant, to have complications,” she wrote. “I’m blessed that mine have not been severe.” She said she planned to be back on the top-rated network morning show next week. '=<?A@ !<C73@ NEW YORK — Twitter has launched a service for people to find music they like and tweet songs from iTunes, Spotify and Rdio. Twitter said in a blog post that an app will be available for download from Apple’s online store Thursday. A Web version is also expected Thursday. Twitter said the service will eventually be available on Android devices as well. The service uses information from Twitter chatter to find popular tracks as well as new artists. Users who follow musicians can see what artists those musicians follow and listen to songs by them. Thursday’s announcement about a music service had been expected. “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest tweeted about it last week. It’s called (hash)music, following Twitter’s practice of using hashtags to organize tweets around topics. The music service’s debut comes less than three months after the release of a Twitter video app called Vine that distributes six-second clips that can be played in a continuous loop. 72@ LOS ANGELES — Reality television in China will help cast the next “Transformers” flick. Backers of the fourth installment in the blockbuster franchise say four people will win roles through the “’Transformers 4’ Chinese Actors Talent Search Reality Show.” The televised series will begin airing in June and will be open to professionals and amateurs. Two of the “Transformers” roles will go to professional Chinese actors and two will go to people with no acting experience. The judges include “Transformers” producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura and Sid Ganis, former Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences president. He now heads Jiaflix Enterprises, which helped broker a production-assistance deal for the film between Paramount Pictures and China Movie Channel. Starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Michael Bay, “Transformers 4” is due in theaters in June 2014. Author Caro wins $10,000 history prize NEW YORK — Historian and author Robert Caro has won yet another award.
