ATV festival seen as boon

“Heads in beds” is the name
of the game in the world of
tourism development, and the
Tourism Development Authority
is attempting to run up the score
by throwing its support behind
established and upcoming events
in Scotland County.
“We have two or three pieces
that we are working on,” said
TDA Director Cory Hughes on
Thursday. “We are doing what we

ments in the area and we are continuing to support the folks that
we have in the past.”
On the list of established events
that the TDA is planning to continue to offer support for are the
Highland Games, the Storytelling
Festival, local baseball and softball
tournaments and alumni events at
St. Andrews University.
“All of those mean heads in
beds, gas in cars, Subway sandwiches in bellies,” Hughes said.
Because Scotland County lacks
a natural resource, Hughes says
that special events are the life-

blood of local tourism.
“It’s critical that we create reasons for people to come here. For
instance, the Storytelling Festival,
they gather a few thousand people
a year, and the crowd tends to
stay overnight. That’s good from
a tourism standpoint because you
tap into a lot of repeat customers.
“From an arts standpoint it’s
a very unique event because
there just aren’t many others that
involve storytelling as their main
theme.”
Supporting unique events and
identifying new ones to cultivate
is part of the TDA’s strategy,
Hughes said.
The TDA announced during its
monthly meeting on Monday that
it would be giving nearly $30,000
in support of the Storytelling
Festival and an upcoming
Optimist baseball tournament in
the form of grants.
In agreeing to provide the
Storytelling Festival with $17,500
and the Optimist baseball tournament with $9,500 the TDA is
seeking to increase the exposure
of the events through advertising,
expecting a return on the investment in the form of visitors to the
community.

A judge has delayed the
case of a Scotland County
man fighting a simple assault
conviction related to his work
for the nonprofit Four-County
Community Services.
The case was continued
this week in Scotland County
Superior Court.
Eric Pender, who preforms
home inspections for the agency that offers programs for the
poor, was given until Oct. 28 to
provide lawyers more time to
collect evidence. Motions will
be heard Sept. 23.
A separate civil lawsuit
filed in September levied
accusations by three women
against Pender and another
Four-County employee, John
Wesley. The suit was amended
in March to include five more
women.
Pender and Wesley are
accused of touching seven
women without their consent,
exposing themselves and making sexually suggestive references during phone calls and
home visits, according to the
lawsuit.
One of the women filed
criminal charges of sexual
harassment and simple assault
against Pender in March 2012,
court records show. The harassment charge was dropped,
but Pender was convicted of
simple assault Nov. 14. He
immediately filed an appeal.
Under state law, the conviction
is stayed until the case is heard
in Superior Court.
The woman who filed the
charges has said that Pender
went to the Section 8 home
where she was about to
move and suggested that she
could get her rent reduced in
exchange for sexual favors.
Neither Pender nor Kim
Clark, Four-County’s executive
director, could be reached for
comment.
According to court documents, Pender and FourCounty have until August to
respond to a request for evidence in the civil suit.
Shelter on hunt for hound homes
Johnny Woodard
Staff Reporter
When five adult fox hounds
were discovered after being
dropped off outside the J.D &
Fran Asher Humane Society
Shelter in Laurinburg, shelter
workers knew they had their
hands full.
Notoriously difficult to find
homes for, the five hounds
were left under cover of night
in a small cage outside the
shelter.
Called into action, the shelter’s staff and network of volunteers and friends came to
the rescue, an ongoing effort
which has led to the longestdistance adoption success in
the shelter’s history.
Named Foster, Rascal,
Dublin, Seamus and Billy Bob
by Humane Society workers,
the five hounds are described
as friendly and well tempered.
Upon their arrival three
of the dogs underwent heart
worm treatment – a process
that can cost as much as $300
per animal.
“We were taking a risk by
giving them heart worm treatment being that they are difficult to adopt,” said Melinda
McMillan, Humane Society
Director. “It’s kind of a sad
story. These were probably
hunting dogs … and it’s pretty
obvious to us that someone
just didn’t want them any-
more.”
Because of cultural differences, McMillan speculated,
hounds are not very popular as pets in the south, and
therefore difficult to place in
homes.
“Hounds are a wonderful
breed but people just see them
mostly as hunting dogs here,”
McMillan said.
Thanks to the “Last Chance
Animal Shelter” in New York,
two of the dogs have been
rescued and will be adopted
out of that facility in a region
where the breed is more popular
“They say that they can’t
find enough of them up there,”

Authorities
continue
to search for suspects in a
Laurinburg shooting this weekend that injured a woman as
she relaxed in her home.
Just before 2 p.m. on Saturday,
a shooting was reported on
Tara Drive when the passenger
of a black Honda traveling in
the area exited the vehicle in
pursuit of Phillip Graham, was
was walking along the road.
According to police, Graham
ran between two houses to
avoid the shooter, and bullets
hit and penetrated one of the
homes.
Eller Pegues, 51, the homeowner, was sitting on her couch
at the time that bullets struck
her in the arm, chest, and neck
area, according to Lt. Cliff
Sessoms of the Laurinburg
Police Department. Pegues
was transported to Scotland
Memorial Hospital where she
was treated and later released.
“The person was shooting
at Mr. Graham and as he ran
around the corner of the house
and continued shooting at him
the projectiles entered Ms.
Pegues’ residence and injured
her,” Sessoms said. “I do not
think she was the target.”
The vehicle’s alleged driver,
Danny Bostic, Jr., 18, of Beta
Street was arrested on Monday
and charged with assault with
a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, assault with a deadly weapon, shooting into an
occupied dwelling, and accessory to assault. He was placed
in the Scotland County Jail
under a $50,000 secured bond.
The incident, and the identity of the shooter, remain under
investigation.

NC auto dealers say they
will keep fighting Tesla
RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina auto
dealers say they’re moving ahead with
a bill updating franchise laws without a
provision that effectively bans the business
model of electric car manufacturer Tesla.
But Bob Glaser of the NC Automobile
Dealers Association said Thursday that
the group hasn’t given up on a separate
bill targeting the automaker that already
passed the Senate last month. The noncontroversial provisions of that bill updating franchise dealer laws were tacked to
an unrelated bill that passed the House
Thursday. The Senate is also expected
to approve the new bill without the Tesla
provisions.
The separate Senate bill included a provision preventing manufacturers from direct
online or phone communication with customers, which is how the California automaker sells its cars. Tesla has run into
legislative barriers and lawsuits in other
states as it attempts to bypass the franchise
dealers who tightly control the retail market by selling directly to customers.
Tesla maintains its own showrooms but
directs customers online to purchase one
of its electric cars, which have earned nearperfect ratings from Consumer Reports.
The company just recently turned its first
quarterly profit and hasn’t sold more than
100 cars yet in North Carolina.
Dealers in North Carolina and other
states have argued the franchise system
is more accountable to customers and the
communities where they reside because
dealers make more substantial local investments. Research into their lobbying efforts
shows franchise dealers are extremely influential in large part because their businesses
contribute greatly to the tax base of local
and state governments.
The bill outlawing Tesla sailed through
the Senate but hasn’t moved in the House.
Tesla has lobbied House members and
taken Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg,
for a test drive to curry favor. Tillis said
after the test drive that auto dealers would
have to make a “strong case” to prevent
Tesla from operating in the state, because
public policy should be working to encourage innovative domestic automakers.
Glaser said he doesn’t expect the House
to take up the Senate-passed bill outlawing
Tesla’s model before the General Assembly
adjourns its regular yearly session this summer. But that bill will remain alive through
2014, Glaser said, and in the meantime
he’ll be encouraging the 700 members in
his group to press their local lawmakers.
“It’s not how many cars they’ve sold (so
far),” he said. “It’s the fact that it creates
a different system outside the retail automobile distribution network that’s been in
place for 100 years.”
Glaser said he’ll continue talking with
Tesla about changing the Senate bill in a
way that would allow the company to operate in some form, but he couldn’t say what
that compromise will look like and Tesla
couldn’t, either.
“Given the issue is whether Tesla can
transact online, it seems pretty straightforward, and we’re not sure what a compromise would look like,” said Shanna
Hendriks, a company spokeswoman, in an
e-mail. “We are pleased with the outcome
of the legislative session this week and are
grateful to the North Carolina legislature
and governor for not precluding our ability
to serve the consumers of North Carolina.”
NC House defeats 75 mph speed limit study
RALEIGH (AP) — An effort
to raise the maximum speed
limit on North Carolina highways to 75 mph reached a stop
sign Thursday as the House
voted down a proposal to direct
a state agency to study the idea
and offer roads on which to
experiment.
The bill failed 44-64, one week
after House members halted
an earlier version of a Senate
bill that would have authorized the state Department of
Transportation to set a 75 mph
on roads where safety and engineering allowed.
A House committee later
endorsed an amended version
directing the state Department
of Transportation to study raising the 70 mph speed limit
on some interstates and other
roads. DOT would then report
to a legislative oversight panel
by next January and propose
to four roads for a pilot project. The full General Assembly
would still have had to approve
the pilot, perhaps next spring.
Several legislators — many
of whom opposed the original bill last week — railed
against the scaled-down version Thursday. They said the
study proposal was rushed and
lacked details. They remained
worried about safety and didn’t
see a good reason to consider
raising the limit.
“I can’t find one good thing
out of raising the speed limit
to 75,” said Rep. Josh Dobson,
R-McDowell.
“I keep asking myself what
is the point? What is the point
of going 5 mph faster?” added
Rep. Harry Warren, R-Rowan.
Sixteen mostly Western
states currently have maximum
speed limits of 75 mph or higher, according to the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety.
In Maine, the only East Coast
state with a 75 mph limit, one
isolated interstate approaching
the Canadian border now carries that posted speed.
The sponsor of the original
bill, Sen. Neal Hunt, R-Wake,
said previously he wanted
allow motorists to drive a little
faster on uncongested roads
without having to worry about
getting a ticket. Others argued
drivers already travel at speeds
between 75 and 80 mph on
roads with posted limits of 70.

Bill
Brawley,
R-Mecklenburg, who was shep-
Shelter
From page 1A
McMillan said. “We knew
locally that we would just
never be able to adopt
them.”
According to shelter volunteer and former director Karla Jo
Milholland, they “knew
they would have to get
creative” to find new
homes for the hounds.
“Had a spaniel or a
poodle been dropped
off there, we would not
have had a problem,”
Milholland said.
In a turn of good fortune that Milholland said
indicates the power of
social media, fox hound
Billy Bob was adopted
to a family in Paolo Alto,
CA – the longest distance
adoption in the shelter’s
history.
“Trish Dooling takes
these wonderful photos of our animals and
we have the photos on
Facebook… and a friend
of mine and his family in
California had had their
eye on Billy Bob for quite
a while. They don’t see a
lot of hounds out there,”
Milholland said.
When her friend,
Eric Smith, was visiting Chapel Hill from his
home in Paolo Alto earlier this month, Milholland
arranged to meet him in
Southern Pines so that he
could see Billy Bob first
hand.
“He fell in love with
him immediately and he
went home and started
researching how to get
him back to California.”
After learning that
there is a commercial
air service available for
dogs, Smith arranged
for Billy Bob to travel in
a five hour direct flight
from Raleigh Durham
International Airport to
San Francisco, where the
dog was retrieved by his
new family.
“I left Laurinburg at 3
a.m. to take Billy Bob to
the airport … and they
said he was perfectly
happy when he arrived
in RDU,” Milholland said.
Prior to that the
Scotland County Humane
Society had never put
an animal on a plane for
transport and the farthest
away they had sent an
animal was to Canada via
transport van.
Unfortunately
for
Rascal and Foster (the
two hounds that remain
in the shelter), a place
has not yet been found
for them.
McMillan and other
shelter workers are in
the process of searching for
either an animal rescue or
a permanent home for the
pair.
“They really are wonderful dogs,” McMillan said of
the two unadopted adult
male hounds.
Those interested in
adopting either Rascal or
Foster or any other sheltered animal are invited to
call 276-9271 for more infor-
mation.
The Scotland County
Humane Society’s adoptable cats will be on display
at Pet Smart in Aberdeen
throughout the month of
July and its other animals
will be available for adoption there on July 27 and 28.
The shelter also invites
locals interested in looking
at the sheltered animals to
visit every Saturday from
1-3 p.m.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)
— A bill requiring North
Carolina schools to teach
that abortions and other
activities put women at
risk of later premature
births passed the state
House on Thursday.
Lawmakers approved
the bill mostly along party
lines after Republicans
agreed to an amendment
calling abortion and other
dangers "risks" rather
than "causes" of premature birth. The two parties dispute the scientific
basis for linking abortion
to later preterm birth,
which can lead to developmental complications
and even the death of the
infant.
The bill already passed
the Senate, which will
have to approve the
House's changes. The bill
won some Democratic
support in the Senate
after Republicans agreed
to broaden the list of
risk factors from induced
abortion to include smoking, alcohol consumption,
drug use and inadequate
prenatal care.
Schools would have to
add the risk factors to
their mandatory health
curriculum
starting
with the seventh grade.
Lawmakers
narrowly
approved an additional
comprehensive sex education program in 2009 that
is optional for students.
Republican lawmakers
base their support of the
bill on a study from the
state's Child Fatality Task
Force, which found more
than 120 reports linking
abortion to preterm birth.
The group recommended
teaching that abortion
puts women at risk of
later premature births,
though some members
noted that many health
organizations don't recognize any link between the
two and premature birth
is often better explained
as a phenomenon of poverty and other factors.

Weekend getaways
Thom Goolsby
There are 149 convicted criminals
who are supposed to be serving their
time in North Carolina prisons, but get
to go home for weekend visits. These
defendants have been convicted of every
crime imaginable.
They include murderers given life sentences, at least one cop killer, kidnappers, drug traffickers, habitual felons,
robbers and various violent criminals.
These convicted felons can sleep in
their own beds or stay in a hotel, play
golf, go to movies and eat out. Their
ranks include a number of notable criminals, including: Raymond Cook, the
former doctor who killed a ballerina in
Raleigh while driving drunk; Lee Hatch
and Chad Lee, two former lawyers who
obstructed justice and altered numerous
DWI court records in Johnston County;
Cassie Johnson, confessed killer of
Raleigh police Officer D.D. “Jimmy”
Adams; Robert Pollard who executed a
17 year-old girl and a 23 year-old man,
shooting each in the head and then dismembering and burning their bodies;
Scott Quillen, convicted of murder and
first-degree burglary, just to name a few.
Kimberly Overton, Chief Resource
Prosecutor for the NC Conference of
District Attorneys, discovered the existence of this program. After numerous
record requests, the Conference of DAs
was able to get the list of prisoners
receiving home leaves.
As strange as it may sound, the
Department of Corrections’ Division
of Prisons has a long-standing policy
regarding home leaves. The Division’s
policy and procedure manual states the
reasoning behind the program: “The
purpose of home leaves is for inmates
who are nearing release to re-establish
family relationships and community
socialization in preparation for their
transition back into the community.”
When the policy is further explored,
the extent of eligibility for home leaves
dwarfs understanding – anyone within
12 months of release or who are “parole
eligible” can qualify. Under the old
Fair Sentencing law, inmates can meet
the criteria if they are simply within
12 months of having a parole hearing,
even if the inmate is never likely to be
released or has been denied parole.
How long can home leave go on?
According to his own website,
BringScottHome.com, convicted murderer Scott Quillen claims he has been
leaving prison on home passes for nearly two years (note: it is unknown how
long ago Quillen posted this statement).
Incidentally, Quillen, who has been in
jail since 1991, was married in 2011 and
has three children. For the record, the
innocent murder victim Derold Ledford
remains dead, maintains no website and
his family has no chance to spend time
with him.
Who in their right mind created this
program? When juries convict criminals
and judges hand down verdicts, no one
ever considers that the criminals would
rate home leave, possibly years before a
sentence is complete.
It is true that in the past, when
inmates were released, they were simply
and unceremoniously dumped on the
streets. Perhaps this old and unwise
release method gave rise to the home
leave policy. It may have made some
sense for a few nonviolent offenders,
but never with violent criminals and
murderers serving life sentences.
With changes made two years ago in
the Justice Reinvestment Act, inmates
now have nine months of post release
supervision. The new requirement
assigns a probation officer to oversee
an inmate’s transition back into society. With this oversight, the offender
is monitored and provided with all of
the current support services available.
Post release supervision offers a strong
argument that, even if home leave made
sense for some inmates in the past, it is
NOT needed now.
The North Carolina Conference of
District Attorneys recently sent a letter
to the Governor asking him to stop the
home leave program. Hopefully, now
that this dirty little secret is out in the
open, home leave will end and the criminals will be kept behind bars where they
belong.

Rush to judge
Mona Charen
Defending the “Gang of Eight”
immigration-reform bill Sunday on Fox
News, Sen. Lindsay Graham sounded
the bleat of panic: “If it fails, and we
are blamed for its failure, our party is
in trouble with Hispanics, not because
we are conservative but because of the
rhetoric and the way we handled this
issue. I want to get reattached to the
Hispanic community, to sell conservativism, pass comprehensive immigration reform and grow this party. The
party has got to be bigger than Utah
and South Carolina. The Hispanic
community is close to our values, but
we have driven them away over this
issue.”
As someone who approves some
provisions of the proposed legislation,
it’s still unsettling to see such selfdelusion on the part of proponents.
The laudable impulse to improve the
Republican Party’s standing among
Hispanics should not lead to embracing a bad bill. Nor should Republicans
imagine that immigration reform is a
magic bullet that will initiate a flood of
Hispanic voters into Republican ranks.
I agree with Graham that the tone of
the Republican Party on immigration
probably hurt it with Hispanics and
other ethnic groups. Romney lost the
Asian vote 73 percent to 26 percent.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
It’s just a guess that talk of “self deportation” is what drove Hispanics and
other groups away. Polls suggest that
Hispanics are a reliably liberal voting
group on all issues and just a bit more
liberal on offering illegals a path to
legal status (77 percent favor) than
the general population (65 percent
favor). The Pew Survey found that 30
percent of Hispanics call themselves
liberal, versus 21 percent of the general
population.
It’s also possible that Romney did
poorly with minorities at least in part
because he didn’t court them very energetically. Obama, for example, spent
$12.4 million for 15,000 Spanish language radio ads, while Romney spent
$9.7 million for 8,500 ads. Paul Ryan’s
suggestion that the ticket campaign in
poor and minority neighborhoods was
reportedly rebuffed.
Still, while the Hispanic community
is more liberal than the general population, it remains persuadable. (If it
isn’t, Republicans aren’t going to win
any more elections anyway, as the
Hispanic share of the population continues to grow.) Sixty-three percent
of Hispanics call themselves conservative or moderate. Arthur Brooks of
the American Enterprise Institute has
found an intriguing difference between
voting and non-voting Hispanics. The
non-voters lean more to the right.
So Republicans do need to heed the
results of the past few elections and
improve their approach to Hispanics.
But the bill now emerging from the
Senate is a dead end.
The bill does include some sensible
reforms, such as increasing the slots
for high-skilled immigrants, eliminating the “diversity visa lottery” for
green cards and offering visas to entrepreneurs who wish to start businesses
in the U.S. The bill would tighten up
some aspects of chain migration (siblings of citizens would no longer be eligible for entry visas), but would loosen
others (more spouses and children of
legal permanent residents would be
eligible than under current law).
It should be axiomatic that if a
bill is 1,190 pages long, it is full
of mischief, and this one is. Just
as Obamacare hands lots of discretion about everything from medical
school admissions to antibiotic ointments to the Secretary of Health and
Human Services, the immigration law
hands many crucial decisions to the
Department of Homeland Security and
the Department of Labor. Labor would
be empowered to question the personnel decisions of any firm that hired
even one high skilled immigrant. The
law further requires that immigrants
be paid significantly more than nativeborn hires — supposedly to prevent
companies from replacing Americans
with foreigners. But as Shikha Dalmia
notes in Reason magazine, the more
likely result will be that firms will
choose to locate abroad.
Byron York reports that the bill
sets pay scales for “Animal Breeders;
Graders and Sorters; Farmworkers
and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and
Greenhouse; and Farmworkers, Farm,
Ranch and Aquacultural Animals.”
There are probably more wage controls
in this bill than we’ve seen since the
Nixon administration.
Finally,
according
to
the
Congressional Budget Office, the Gang
of Eight bill will reduce illegal immigration during the coming decade by
only 25 percent.
Immigration needs reform, but contra Graham, there is no rush. This
bill is a tangle of controls, mandates,
bureaucratic empowerment and internal contradictions. It’s no wonder
Democrats are fans. Reason enough
for Republicans to take a hard second
look.

Good nation
Proverbs 14: 34 – “Righteousness
exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach
to any people.”
Next Thursday is the 237th birthday of our nation. French writer
Alexis de Tocqueville, after visiting
America in 1831, said, “I sought for
the greatness of the United States
in her commodious harbors, her
ample rivers, her fertile fields, and
boundless forests — and it was not
there. I sought for
it in her rich mines,
New Hope
her vast world commerce, her public For Today
school system, and Dr. Thomas
in her institutions
Marshall
of higher learning—and it was not
there. I looked for it in her democratic Congress and her matchless
Constitution—and it was not there.
Not until I went into the churches of
America and heard her pulpits flame
with righteousness did I understand
the secret of her genius and power.
America is great because America
is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease
to be great!” This year, seek to
keep America great — by keeping
America good. When we do, we will
have a New Hope for Today.
Marshall is pastor of New Hope Baptist Church.

Years later, his children
remember him rubbing his
leg at night. It was scarred
and still had shrapnel.
He wouldn’t talk about
the war. He’d leave the
room when the 1960s TV
show “Combat” aired.
“He seemed to think he
didn’t need the Hollywood
version,” David said.
On April 7, 1976, Linda
and her mother, Cozette
Reid Lashley, were in a
store in Longleaf Mall when
Clifton Lashley came by.
Something seemed a little
off. Linda worried about
her father as he left the
store.
“Something told me to
look at him, that I’d never
see him again,” she said.
Driving home, he suffered a heart attack and hit
a utility pole on Carolina
Beach Road.
It was a year later that
Lashley’s long-lost New
Testament came into Ward
Dossche’s possession.
Dossche, now 62, has a
deep respect for veterans.
He is the son of a World
War II veteran and grandson of two World War I
veterans.
Those wars are an
ever-present memory in

Bible finally returned to NC
man’s children after 70 years
WILMINGTON (AP) —
Linda and David Lashley
held a tattered copy of the
New Testament open to the
dedication page, carefully
sheltering it from the rain.
Their father, Howard
Clifton
Lashley,
had
received the holy book in
1943 at Camp Blanding,
Fla., before going off to fight
in World War II. He carried
it onto Omaha Beach two
months after D-Day. It was
with him through the Battle
of the Bulge, and he probably had it with him when he
was wounded in Belgium.
Now, 70 years later, his
two children were standing
by his grave in Greenlawn
Cemetery, holding the little
book they’d received two
days earlier so the StarNews
could photograph it.
The book had been
mailed to them by Ward
Dossche of Belgium, who
had been trying since 1977
to return it.
The story of that Bible’s
seven-decade journey is one
of courage and sadness,
determination and love.
Clifton Lashley was born
in 1924 in an eastern North
Carolina town so small
it doesn’t exist anymore.
He moved to Wilmington,
where he worked with his
brother and his father for
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad.
He was drafted in 1943
and was sent to Camp
Blanding, where he was
given a pocket-sized copy
of the New Testament
with a note of gratitude
from President Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Lashley landed on Omaha
Beach in August 1944 and
fought across France and
Belgium.
On Jan. 5, 1945, he was
standing behind a Sherman
tank in Manhay, Belgium,
when a German tank fired
at the Sherman. The shell
missed the turret and landed about 10 feet from him,
he said in a letter to his
family.
He called it the “Lord’s
blessing” that he could tell
about it.
He described the wound
as “a scratch on the right
leg,” but it kept him in a
hospital in Liege, Belgium,
for two weeks, and it hurt
for the rest of his life.
After leaving the hospital, Lashley spent a month
living with civilians in
Belgium as his unit was
being rested.
Maybe he lost the Bible
when he was wounded or
at the hospital, his children
speculate. Or maybe he left
it with that kind family who
sheltered a stranger from
overseas.
In any case, Lashley
returned to the States without it. He went back to his
job at the railroad.

Gregory Bull | Associated Press
US Border Patrol agent Jerry Conlin looks out over Tijuana, Mexico, along the old border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border Thursday,
where it ends at the base of a hill in San Diego.
Immigration overhaul:
Senate passes historic bill
WASHINGTON (AP) —
With a solemnity reserved
for momentous occasions,
the Senate passed historic
legislation Thursday offering the priceless hope of
citizenship to millions of
immigrants living illegally
in America’s shadows. The
bill also promises a militarystyle effort to secure the
long-porous border with
Mexico.
The bipartisan vote was
68-32 on a measure that
sits atop President Barack
Obama’s
second-term
domestic agenda. But the
bill’s prospects are highly
uncertain in the Republicancontrolled House, where
party leaders are jockeying
for position in advance of
expected action next month.
Spectators in galleries that
overlook the Senate floor
watched expectantly as senators voted one by one from
their desks. Some onlookers
erupted in chants of “Yes, we
can” after Vice President Joe
Biden announced the vote
result.
After three weeks of
debate, there was no
doubt about the outcome.
Fourteen Republicans joined
all 52 Democrats and two
independents to support the
bill.
In a written statement,
Obama coupled praise for
the Senate’s action with
a plea for resolve by supporters as the House works
on the issue. “Now is the
time when opponents will
try their hardest to pull
this bipartisan effort apart
so they can stop commonsense reform from becoming
a reality. We cannot let that
happen,” said the president,
who was traveling in Africa.
In the final hours of
debate, members of the socalled Gang of 8, the group
that drafted the measure,
frequently spoke in personal
terms while extolling the
bill’s virtues, rebutting its
critics — and appealing to
the House members who
turn comes next.
“Do the right thing for
America and for your party,”
said Sen. Bob Menendez,
D-N.J., who said his mother
emigrated to the United
States from Cuba. “Find
common ground. Lean away
from the extremes. Opt for
reason and govern with us.”
Arizona Republican Sen.
Jeff Flake said those seeking
legal status after living in the
United States illegally must
“pass a background check,
make good on any tax liability and pay a fee and a fine.”
There are other requirements before citizenship can
be obtained, he noted.
He, too, spoke from personal experience, recalling
time he spent as a youth
working alongside family
members and “undocumented migrant labor, largely
from Mexico, who worked
harder than we did under
conditions much more difficult than we endured.”
Since then, he said, “I
have harbored a feeling of
admiration and respect for
those who have come to risk
life and limb and sacrifice
so much to provide a better
life for themselves and their
families.”
The bill’s opponents were
unrelenting, if outnumbered.
“We will admit dramatically more people than we
ever have in our country’s
history at a time when
unemployment is high and
the Congressional Budget
Office has told us that average wages will go down for
12 years, that gross national product per capita will
decline for 25-plus years,
that unemployment will go
up,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions,
R-Ala.
“The amnesty will occur,
but the enforcement is not
going to occur, and the policies for future immigration
are not serving the national
interest.”
But with a weeklong
July 4 congressional vacation looming, the bill’s foes
agreed to permit the final
vote one day before Senate
rules mandated it.
In the Senate, at least,
the developments marked
an end to years of gridlock
on immigration. The shift
began taking shape quickly
after the 2012 presidential
election, when numerous
Republican leaders concluded the party must show
a more welcoming face to
Hispanic voters who had
given Obama more than 70
percent of their support.

OFF-TO-COLLEGE SUBSCRIPTION SPECIAL
NEW YORK (AP) —
Paula Deen’s multimilliondollar merchandise and
media empire continues
to unravel following revelations that she used racial
slurs in the past.
Target Corp., Home
Depot Inc. and diabetes
drug maker Novo Nordisk
on Thursday became the
latest companies to distance themselves from the
Southern celebrity chef.
Home Depot, which sold
Paula Deen-branded cookware and kitchen products
only online, said it pulled
the merchandise off its
website on Wednesday.
And Target said that it will
phase out its Paula Deenbranded cookware and
other items in stores and
on its website.
“Once the merchandise
is sold out, we will not
be replenishing inventory,”
said Molly Snyder, a Target
spokeswoman.
Meanwhile,
Novo
Nordisk said it and Deen
have “mutually agreed to
suspend our patient education activities for now.”
Deen, who specializes in
Southern comfort food,
had been promoting the
company’s drug Victoza
since last year when she
announced she had Type 2
diabetes.
These are the latest
blows dealt to Deen since
comments she made in a
court deposition became
public. Last week, the Food
Network said that it would
not renew her contract. On
Monday, pork producer
Smithfield Foods dropped
her as a spokeswoman.
Then, on Wednesday,
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the
world’s biggest retailer,
said it too was cutting ties
with Deen following a tearful “Today” show interview
in which she said she’s not
a racist.
On the same day, Caesars
Entertainment announced
that Paula Deen’s name is
being stripped from four
buffet restaurants owned
by the company. Caesars
said that its decision to
rebrand its restaurants in
Joliet, Ill.; Tunica, Miss.;
Cherokee, N.C.; and
Elizabeth, Ind., was a
mutual one with Deen.
The stakes are high for
Deen, who Forbes magazine ranked as the fourth
highest-earning celebrity
chef last year, bringing in
$17 million. She’s behind
Gordon Ramsay, Rachel
Ray and Wolfgang Puck,
according to Forbes.
Deen’s empire, which
spans from TV shows to
furniture and cookware,
generates total annual
revenue of nearly $100
million, estimates Burt
Flickinger III, president of
retail consultancy Strategic
Resource Group.
But Flickinger says that
the controversy has cost
her as much as half of that
business. He also estimates
that she could lose up to 80
percent by next year as suppliers extricate themselves
from their agreements.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday,
June 28, 2013:
This year you greet change more
openly than you have in a while. It
is quite apparent that you care a lot
about people, and vice versa. If you
are single, someone you know could
introduce you to Mr. or Ms. Right.
Remain open to people who have different lifestyles from your own. If you
are attached, curb a tendency to be a
bit cocky or arrogant when you think
you are right. At first, you might be
uncomfortable with this change, but
in the long run, your relationship will
work out better. PISCES understands
you almost too well.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Seriously consider accepting someone’s offer to pitch in.
Recognize a tendency to get angry
at the drop of a hat, and know that is
because you have pushed too hard.
A child, friend or dear loved one has
a lot to share. Understand what is
needed. Tonight: Kick back and relax.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH You might want to try a
different approach. You know your
limits and what is needed. Share
more of your needs with a loved one.
You might want some help taming
a weakness or overindulgence you
think you might have. Remain open.
Tonight: Happy to greet the weekend.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH Your fun nature does nothing to ease a situation. In fact, this
trait might be complicating an already
difficult situation. You are full of
energy, and you’re in the limelight.
Understand that nothing will beat
openness with this person. Drop the
games. Tonight: A force to behold.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You might want to see a
situation change, but you can’t force
others to back off their position.
As a result, you would be better
off relaxing and enjoying yourself.
Understanding will evolve to a new
level if you can accept what is going
on around you. Tonight: Follow the
music.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH You are full of energy, and
you will draw many people toward
you. Understand what you have
to offer. Someone might push you
beyond your limits. Take a walk or get
involved in some other distraction in
order to stay in control of your feelings. Tonight: Be direct with a partner.
Horoscope
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH Understand what is happening with a partner. If you seem
to be getting some grief from others, know that it is nothing personal.
These individuals simply are frustrated beyond their normal limits. Just
relax. Tonight: Allow greater give-andtake when dealing with others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You are capable of squeezing a lot into a small amount of time.

expects, but also recognize that he or
she might be exhausted and emotional. Tonight: Togetherness works.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH You might not be as in
control as you think you are. You
often delude yourself, which causes
problems for those involved. Take off
you rose-colored shades if you want
better results. If more than one person says the same thing, you need to
listen. Tonight: Happy at home.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Speak your mind, and know
full well what you want. You are more
sensitive and together than you might
have realized. At present, there is an
issue regarding who wants to take the

could become heated. Tonight: TGIF.
Meet friends.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH You might wonder what
has triggered a child or new friend.
Realize that this person is on the
warpath. Even if his or her anger is
directed at you, do not take it on — it
might be the result of a different situation. Give this individual some space.
Tonight: Follow the music.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH How and why you seem to
be irritating a family member might be
a mystery to you, as this person goes
off in a fit of rage. When he or she

Court rulings won’t
affect state — yet
Associated Press
As opponents and advocates of gay
marriage put their best spin on two U.S.
Supreme Court decisions Wednesday, a
woman married to a female soldier at Fort
Bragg rejoiced in the knowledge that she
would now be able to share her spouse’s
benefits, such as federal health insurance.
“This has been a long time coming, as
you can imagine,” said Ashley Broadway,
her voice cracking. “Now Heather can
serve her country knowing that the military will take care of her family, God
forbid something would happen to her.
We still have a long way to go, as far as
marriage equality throughout the country,
but as a military spouse it is a great day to
be an American.”
Broadway married Lt. Col. Heather
Mack in Washington, D.C., and the couple
has a 3-year-old son and 6-month-old girl.
She didn’t qualify for federal health insurance of military death benefits, and samesex couples can’t live in on-base housing.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said
Wednesday that the Pentagon will begin
the process to extend health care, housing
and other federal benefits to the same-sex
spouses of military members as soon as
possible after a Supreme Court ruling that
struck down a provision in the Defense of
Marriage Act. The justices ruled 5-4 to
strike down the part of DOMA, a federal
anti-gay marriage law that has kept legally
married same-sex couples from receiving
tax, health and pension benefits.
The day was far from all good news for
gay rights advocates.
In a case out of California, the high
court said nothing about the validity
of gay marriage bans in that state and
about three dozen others, including North
Carolina. And a separate provision of the
federal marriage law that allows a state
to not recognize a same-sex union from
elsewhere remains in place.
In the California decision, the justices
voted 5-4 to let stand a trial court’s
August 2010 ruling that overturned the
state’s voter-approved gay marriage ban.
The justices held the coalition of religious conservative groups that qualified
Proposition 8 for the ballot did not have
authority to defend it after state officials
refused to do so.
The practical effect of the Supreme
Court ruling, however, is likely to be more
legal wrangling before the state can begin
issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples for the first time since Proposition 8
passed in November 2008.
Practical effects were more immediate for military members, including Pvt.
Allison Hanson and Sgt. Karen Alexander,
an Army training program for chemical,
biological and nuclear warfare, who met
in 2010. They got married last year in
Washington, D.C., but have been living in
a pricey off-base apartment because they
didn’t qualify to share military housing
because their marriage wasn’t recognized.
Alexander is based at Fort Bragg, while
Hanson is on inactive status with the Utah
National Guard so they can be together.
“I’ve been in tears of joy all morning,
trying to hold myself together,” Hanson
said. “It means I’m a spouse, that I’m the
wife of an active-duty soldier. I’m not the
friend. I’m not her roommate. This is a
game-changer. By law, I am now her wife,
no different than any of the other military
wives. “
Hanson has a 5-year-old son from a
prior marriage, who will now be eligible
for federal health insurance and other
military family benefits.
“He was not considered Karen’s stepson
until today,” Hanson said. “As his mother,
that’s huge for me.”
The mixed decisions from the court
brought mixed and sometimes muted
reactions in North Carolina, which
approved a constitutional ban on gay marriage in May 2012. “We are thankful that
North Carolina’s marriage amendment is
not immediately impacted by the ruling,”
Tami Fitzgerald, executive director of the
N.C. Values Coalition, said in a statement.
“Citizens in the 50 states are still free to
debate, discuss and defend marriage.”
Senate
leader
Phil
Berger,
R-Rockingham, said he didn’t believe that
Wednesday’s rulings would cause North
Carolina legislators to consider giving voters a chance to remove the constitutional
amendment approved in 2012 that bans
gay marriage and civil unions in North
Carolina.
“We amended the constitution. If there’s
a desire to amend the constitution the
other way, we’d see a bill or … we’d see
the effort to do that,” said Berger, who
supported putting the 2012 amendment
on the ballot. “I don’t think that the public
opinion is any different now than it was
when the public voted 61 percent in favor
of the amendment.”

July 4 holiday inspires travel around the state
Staff report
Those planning to
travel away from Scotland
County this July 4 holiday should be able to find
everything under the summer, the state’s tourism
officials say.
They say the choices
range from eye-popping
fireworks and colorful
events tap Independence
Day spirit amid fresh
mountain air, balmy sea
breezes and urban cool.
“The nation’s birthday absolutely calls
for celebration,” said
Wit Tuttell, Director of
Marketing in the North
Carolina Department of
Commerce’s tourism division. “And North Carolina
destinations
celebrate
in ways that reflect our
heritage and independent
spirit.”
Laurinburg’s own annual fireworks display will
be held July 4 at Pate
Stadium at Scotland High
School.The display will
begin at 9:15 p.m. Gates
will open at 7 p.m.
Officials say that they
expect more than 3,000
people to attend the event.
Those coming to the
ceremony can park in the
school parking lot and on
the school’s access road,
but no parking is allowed
on US Highway 401.
Visitors are reminded
that since the event is on
school grounds, no alcohol is permitted at the
event.
The Scotland High
School Band Boosters will
be selling refreshments
including hot dogs, chips,
drinks, snow cones, glow
bracelets and necklaces.
The event is one of the
band’s many fundraisers
throughout the year.
The city will assume all
$11,000 associated with
the pyrotechnics display,
with the county partnering in any extra-fireworks
activities.
Across the state
With the HatterasOcracoke ferry back on
its regular route, beach
lovers can travel along the
Cape Hatteras National
Seashore with ease. Sand
from a January storm has
been cleared from the
channel, and the ferry
is now making 32 daily
trips in each direction. In
Western North Carolina,
highway crews finished
clean-up from a January
landslide on U.S. 441 near
Cherokee in mid-April —
a month ahead of schedule.
At VisitNC.com, the
state tourism website,
travelers can find scores
of events that light up the
sky from the coast to the
mountains. For example:
In
Wilmington,
Battleship Blast creates an
awesome sight along the
riverfront. The 20-minute
fireworks display serves
as a stand-in for “bombs
bursting in air” over the
U.S.S. North Carolina,
World War II’s most decorated U.S. battleship.
In Raleigh, visitors will
get The ’Works, an all-day
celebration with music,
food and drink, street performers, kids rides and
games. Festivities are
capped by a fireworks display over the Duke Energy
Center for the Performing
Arts.
In Blowing Rock,
Tweetsie Railroad ends
a day of theme park fun
(rides, shows, a Wild
West Train Adventure)
with fireworks. Viewing
options range from the
Hacienda (after a dinner
buffet) to the parking lot.
American originals are
also accounted for. The
Liberty Parade in Todd
features inspired costumes and larger-thanlife puppets. Wilkesboro
mounts a parade of emergency vehicles before the
fireworks go up, and festivities in Franklin include
a plunger toss.
Travelers can build an
extended stay around a
one-day event or choose
a ready-made option that
runs beyond the Fourth.
Pinehurst has designed a
July 4th Family Weekend
package that stretches
from July 2 to July 7.
Fontana Village Resort’s
celebration runs even longer, from June 28 to July
7, and dovetails with the
Motors, Moonshiners &
Mountaineers Heritage
Festival in neighboring
Robbinsville. The holiday
also coincides with centennial celebrations at the
storied Grove Park Inn
in Asheville and Lake
Junaluska, the Methodist
conference and retreat
center near Maggie Valley.
North Carolina has
been
commemorating
Independence Day in
earnest for 230 years.
In 1783, Gov. Alexander
Martin responded to
a resolution from the
General Assembly and
proclaimed July 4th as
a day of thanksgiving.
Historians believe that he
was the first governor to
issue such a proclamation.

Scots finish first month of practice
Corbin Ensminger
Sports Editor
The Scotland football team
took another step towards full
practice on Thursday when
it ran its first plays with an
offensive line, but it will be a
while before the Scots can run
another one.
The North Carolina High
School Athletic Association
mandates that all teams take
the first week of July off. That
means Thursday was the last
practice for the Scots until they
take the field again on July 8.
Bailey said he was glad for
a break, but at the same time
he wishes the team could continue practicing. The Scots
have been practicing Mondays
through Thursdays since June
10.
“This is the first day we
were able to run plays with
our offensive line, so I wish we
could have a few more days to
run some more,” he said.
The Scots ended the first
month of summer practice on
a good note, as they used linemen for the first time this summer. Up until then the linemen have been practicing separately while the quarterbacks

take a mandatory break until July 8.
and receivers worked on their
routes.
But Thursday the linemen
finally got to get in on the play
calling. Coach Richard Bailey
spent most of practice calling
running plays and working
with the linemen. The team
ran a hurry-up drill where they
would run the ball, then run to
the line for the next play and
get set all in a matter of seconds.
They did this until they had gone
from one end of the field to the
other, while the coaches watched
for any mistakes and corrected
their alignments.
Bailey said the offensive line
has a long ways to go to get into
game-ready shape, but he saw
good signs for the first outing.
Meanwhile, defensive backs
coach Jamie Coleman was teaching the defensive players how
to defend each type of route a
receiver could run. After working separately for about an hour,
Bailey called the defensive players over to the main practice
field to face the offense in a
series of passing plays.
The challenge was split pretty evenly. Quarterback Jaylend
Ratliffe was able to get several
throws on target, and completed
some, but had many balls bounce
out of the hands of receivers.
The secondary had several nearinterceptions from batted balls,
but was unable to reel any in as
Coleman stressed that everyone
needed to follow thorough on
every play and run to the ball.
After practice, Bailey told his
team to enjoy the week off, but
asked them to spend some time
running on their own. The Scots
will need to stay in shape, as
they have two 7-on-7 challenges
when they get back, going to
Pinecrest on July 9 and to Dillon
on July 11.

Brad Keselowski hopes that Kentucky is again the track that launches him to title contention.
Keselowski looking to
defend Kentucky victory
SPARTA, Ky. (AP) —
Kentucky Speedway is hot and
bumpy, and Brad Keselowski
can’t wait to race.
So much that he’s competing
in all three NASCAR national
series events this weekend.
Again.
Keselowski’s
eagerness
is understandable. He’s the
defending champion in the
Sprint Cup race Saturday night,
one of five series victories that
propelled the Michigan driver
to last season’s title.
Standing ninth in the hunt
for a berth in the Chase, he
aims to improve his standing
with his first win this season.
Keselowski believes there’s no
better place to get it than on the
1.5-mile oval that has served
him well.
After all, he was second at the
track last year in the Truck race
and won the Nationwide event
in 2011 before last year’s Cup
victory.
“Kentucky’s been one of
my best race tracks,” said the
Penske Racing driver, who
will run in Thursday night’s
Truck race and Friday night’s
Nationwide event along with
fellow Cup regular Kyle Busch.
“I won here on the Cup side
last year and the Nationwide
side two years ago, but haven’t
won here on the Truck level.
I’d like to come here and win
all three; that would really be
something special.”
However, Keselowski would
especially welcome a Cup victory right now.
After running ninth or better
in seven of his first eight starts
this season, Keselowski’s best
finish since in the No. 2 Ford
Fusion was fifth this month at
Dover, the site of his last Cup
victory in September. Over his
past 12 starts he has led just 17
laps, a big falloff from 103 over
the first four races.
Keselowski’s season has also
included two NASCAR penalties totaling 31 points for having an illegal part at Texas and
being too low after the Dover
race, respectively. And yet, he’s
still solidly in the running for
his third consecutive appearance in the Chase for the Sprint
Cup.
That speaks volumes about
the Penske team and its
extremely confident driver,
who expressed belief of returning to victory lane this season
during a promotional appearance here earlier this month.
Standing on a hill looking
toward the first turn of the
speedway, Keselowski sounded
like someone with a lot to look
forward to — and with good

Worst Wimbledon showing for US men since 1912
LONDON (AP) — What a
stark statistic for the nation
of Bill Tilden and Don Budge,
John McEnroe and Jimmy
Connors, Pete Sampras and
Andre Agassi: It’s been 101
years since no men from
the United States reached
Wimbledon’s third round.
And the last time it happened, way back in 1912, no
Americans even entered the
oldest Grand Slam tournament.
By the end of Thursday, all
11 U.S. men in the 2013 field
at the All England Club were
gone, with top-seeded Novak
Djokovic accounting for the last
one by beating 156th-ranked
qualifier Bobby Reynolds 7-6
(2), 6-3, 6-1. Earlier in the day,
former top-five player James
Blake lost to Bernard Tomic
of Australia 6-3, 6-4, 7-5, while
qualifier Denis Kudla was beaten by Ivan Dodig of Croatia
6-1, 7-6 (4), 7-5.
That trio joined 18th-seeded
John Isner, 21st-seeded Sam
Querrey, Ryan Harrison, Steve
Johnson, Alex Kuznetsov,
Wayne Odesnik, Rajeev Ram
and Michael Russell on the way
home.
“It’s a tough stat to hear, but
I still believe, right now, where
U.S. tennis is, not too many
guys are in their prime. That’s
why the numbers are like that.
But a lot of guys are, maybe, in
the tail end of their careers and
a lot of guys are coming up,”
said Kudla, a 20-year-old from
Arlington, Va., who is ranked
105th. “Maybe next year, or
the year after that, things could
change. You have to go through
a little bit of a struggle to get
some success.”
Led by top-seeded and
defending champion Serena
Williams, the U.S. women still
are represented in singles at
Wimbledon this year.
Williams extended her winning streak to 33 matches, the
longest on tour since 2000,
by eliminating 100th-ranked
qualifier Caroline Garcia of
France 6-3, 6-2, while 18-yearold Madison Keys knocked off
30th-seeded Mona Barthel of
Germany 6-4, 6-2.
Keys next plays 2012 runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska
of Poland, and Williams goes
from a 19-year-old opponent in
Garcia to a 42-year-old opponent in Kimiko Date-Krumm,
the oldest woman to reach the
third round at Wimbledon since
the Open era began in 1968.
“I have so much respect for
her. I think she’s so inspiring to
be playing such high-level tennis at her age,” said Williams,
who at 31 is the oldest No. 1
in WTA rankings history. “And
she’s a real danger on the grass
court, I know that. I definitely
will have to be ready.”
Already into the third round
with a victory a day earlier
was No. 17 Sloane Stephens,
while yet another American,
wild-card entry Alison Riske,
had her match against Urszula
Radwanska — Agnieszka’s
younger sister — postponed by
rain Thursday.
“I can’t put my finger on why
the women are doing better
than the men,” Reynolds said.
He wound up facing Djokovic
with Centre Court’s retractable
roof closed because of the first
drizzles of the fortnight, which
prevented five singles matches
from starting at all and forced
the suspensions of three others
in progress.
The precipitation wasn’t the
only change Day 4 brought.

Spain beats Italy 7-6 on penalties to reach final
FORTALEZA, Brazil (AP) —
Jesus Navas scored the decisive
penalty as World Cup holder
Spain beat Italy 7-6 in a shootout
Thursday after extra time ended
0-0, setting up a showdown with
host Brazil in the Confederations
Cup final.
Nobody missed in the shootout until Italy defender Leonardo
Bonucci shot over the bar to give
Navas an attempt at the winner.
The recently signed Manchester
City midfielder cooly beat goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to end a
top-class battle and send Spain to
another major final.
“We were lucky in the penalty
shootout,” Spain coach Vicente
del Bosque said. “It was a very
difficult match for us.”
In draining heat and humidity,
each side hit the woodwork in
extra time. Emanuele Giaccherini
smashed a shot off the post in the
93rd minute and Buffon deflected
a shot from Xavi Hernandez off
the post in the 115th.
“It was a marvelous team effort
by both teams,” Del Bosque said.
“It was a clean and sporting
match that was played under very
difficult climatic conditions.”
The final will be played Sunday
at the Maracana Stadium in
Rio de Janeiro. Italy will face
Uruguay in the third-place match
in Salvador, also Sunday.
“Now we have to consider what
we have to do in the three days to
recover,” Del Bosque said. “We
will definitely stand up to Brazil
in the Maracana. The players
should feel as happy as kids playing in the Maracana. They have
won a lot, but they want to win
in the Maracana.”
In a rematch of the Euro 2012
final, which Spain won 4-0, Italy
threatened early on even without the injured Mario Balotelli,
relying on counterattacks, while
Spain relied on its usual game of
short passes and ball possession.
“We played a great match. We
created and we conceded but
we were always in the match,”
Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said.
“They’re still ahead of us but
we’re improving.
“In these conditions, between
absences and fatigue, it’s nearly impossible to go all the way,
but the guys really moved me,”
Prandelli added.
The roles reversed in the second half but it wasn’t until extra
time that each side produced
some of the match’s best chances.
“The Italians were better than
us for all of the first half. In
the second half it was more balanced and then in extra time we
improved gradually and then we
were superior,” Del Bosque said.
When English referee Howard
Webb whistled the end of extra
time in the 120th minute, the
crowd inside the Castelao
Stadium cheered loudly, applauding two hours of world class football between teams which could
not be separated.
Before kickoff, about 5,000
anti-government protesters battled police about 2 kilometers (1
mile) from the stadium.
More protests are expected at
Sunday’s final of the World Cup
warm-up tournament.
Thursdays’ were the latest in
a series of massive, nationwide
protests that have hit Brazil
since June 17. Demonstrators are
angered about corruption and
poor public services despite a
heavy tax burden.
Protests are also denouncing
the billions of dollars spent to
host the World Cup and the 2016
Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Sunday is the fourth major
final Spain will play in five years,
having won the 2008 and 2012
European Championships plus
the 2010 World Cup.
Inside the Fortaleza stadium,
which appeared full, there was
overwhelming support for Italy
from local fans, who were perhaps afraid of facing Spain in the
final. Spain was booed early on
every time it took the ball.
Christian Maggio had the best
chance of the first half in the 36th
with a header inside the box that
Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas did
well to block.
A minute later, Xavi Hernandez
set up Spain’s only real chance
early on but Fernando Torres
shot wide.
Reverting to a three-man
defense, Prandelli made another
tactical move to start the second half, replacing center back
Andrea Barzagli with midfielder
Riccardo Montolivo and putting
De Rossi at the center of the
defense.
Seeking to inject some energy into his squad, Spain coach
Vicente Del Bosque sent on
Navas for David Silva in the 52nd
and Navas had the first significant chance of the second half
six minutes later with a long, low
effort that Buffon controlled.
The roles reversed as the second half wore on, with Italy controlling more and Spain resorting
more to counterattacks. Italy had
a series of corner kicks at one
point but had trouble producing
chances.
Victory

reason, given his track
record at Kentucky.
“We came right here the
first time and ran well, we
tested here before coming
a couple years back and
that was advantageous as
well,” said Keselowski,
whose driver rating of
128.2 at Kentucky is just
behind leader Kyle Busch
(133.0).
“What I like out of a
race car and how I drive,
it really fits this race
track. That has led to
my success here, but that
doesn’t mean we’re guaranteed to win here or
even run well. We still
have to work hard and
make it happen.”
Keselowski definitely
looks forward to the challenges Kentucky presents, such as triple-digit
track temperatures —
even after sundown —
and bumpy asphalt.
“As drivers, we hate to
see repaves,” he said of
the surface. “It makes the
Ken Culler - Owner

Hamlet, NC 28345

track almost too easy to
drive, very unpredictable
and hard to put on sideby-side racing. Kentucky’s
the exact opposite. It’s
rough, it’s bumpy, it’s
actually a little bit predictable because of that.”
On
the
bumps,
Keselowski
added,
“they’re everywhere, not
one spot. Very noticeable.
It’s like running over a
freeway that truck drivers
have been on and they try
to patch in some spots
where they made divots.”
The prospect of doing
this on three consecutive
nights has Keselowski
even
more
excited.
Then again, Kentucky
has provided the 2010
Nationwide Series champion plenty of opportunities to get psyched up.
Last year’s runner-up
finish in the Truck race
marked his first start in
that series since 2005
and ‘06, finishing 18th
and 30th respectively.
Keselowski
returned
two years later in the
Nationwide Series and
posted an impressive
record of top-seven runs
highlighted by his dominant 2011 victory in
which he started fifth and
led 132 laps. In fact, his
lowest Nationwide finish
at Kentucky (seventh)
came last year.
On the Cup side,
Keselowski led more laps
(79) finishing seventh in
his debut here two years
than in last year’s win,
when he led the final 55
circuits and 68 overall en
route to his third win.
Two more victories followed in the Chase at
Chicago and Dover, and
he credits Kentucky for
providing the formula on
intermediate tracks.
Keselowski’s task right
now is finding consis-
tency in NASCAR’s
current-generation car.
Fortunately for him he’s
coming to a track where
his average finish is 4.0,
and 925.5 scheduled
miles across three series
offer a lot of time and
distance to find answers
to his season.
“We’ve been really
close,” Keselowski said
of winning. “There have
been a set of circumstances, whether it’s been our
fault or not, that have
kept that from happening.
But we know if we keep
knocking on that door, it
will happen.”
lost, results went mostly
to form Thursday. Only
one seeded man departed: No. 17 Milos Raonic
of Canada, who was beat-
en 7-5, 6-4, 7-6 (4) by
64th-ranked Igor Sijsling
of the Netherlands.
There were, however,
two more injury-related
exits, raising the total
of players pulling out of
the second round to nine,
which equals the Open
era Grand Slam record
for any round. All told, 12
players have withdrawn
before a match or stopped
during one, one short of
the Wimbledon record for
a full tournament, set in
2008.
“It was a bit strange
to see so many top players either lost or retired,”
Djokovic said. “But grass
is a very special surface.
It requires a different
kind of movement. …
If grass at the start of
Wimbledon is still not so
used and, I guess, a little
bit slippery, it can be dangerous, until you really
get your right footing on
the court. That’s probably the reason why they
all felt uncomfortable and
they all injured themselves, unfortunately.”
Djokovic himself took
a tumble midway through
his tight first set against
Reynolds, a 30-year-old
based in Atlanta, then
quickly rose and whacked
his heels with his racket.
About 25 minutes later,
when Reynolds hit a 122
mph service winner to
hold for 6-all, the crowd
roared, eager to see
whether this guy they’d
never heard of could continue to push Djokovic,
who is ranked No. 1 and
owns six major titles,
including at Wimbledon
in 2011.
But from there, it
wasn’t close. Reynolds
missed two forehands
early in the tiebreaker,
helping Djokovic take a
5-0 lead before ending the
set with a 117 mph ace.
“He just puts so much
pressure on you, point
after point after point,”
said Reynolds, a member
of the Washington Kastles
in World TeamTennis.
“He moves unbelievably
well. … You think you hit
a good shot, but he’s right
there, crushing it back at
you.”
Reynolds was, in many
ways, simply happy to be
there, on his sport’s most
famous court, facing one
of its best players.
“You can’t put a price
tag on it,” he said. “I’ll
keep so many memories
from that match. I loved
it.
Once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.”

Mark Messier leaves New York Rangers organization
NEW YORK (AP) — Mark
Messier is leaving the New York
Rangers after being passed over
to replace fired head coach John
Tortorella.
Messier, who had been a special assistant to Rangers general
manager Glen Sather, announced
Thursday in a statement that he
is resigning in order to “expand
the game of hockey in the New
York area by developing the
Kingsbridge National Ice Center.”
However, he added that the
Rangers’ choice to hire veteran
coach Alain Vigneault to be the
new head coach wasn’t a factor in
his departure from the team.
“I would like to thank the
New York Rangers and particularly Glen Sather for giving me
the opportunity over the last four
years to work with the Rangers,”
said Messier, who has no NHL
coaching experience. “Although
some will perceive this as a reaction to the coaching decision,
nothing could be further from the
truth. I completely respect the
decision that was made and for all
the reasons it was made. I harbor
no hard feelings toward Glen or
the Rangers.
“This is a personal choice I am
making to create a program in
the New York area that will give
our children more choices and
opportunities in the future. I wish
the Rangers nothing but the best
in the future.”
The Kingsbridge National
Ice Center, proposed for the
Kingsbridge Armory in the Bronx,
would be the largest ice sports
facility in the world. The center would feature nine year-round
indoor rinks, including a 5,000seat center show rink, and would
be an international sporting destination that expects to draw more
than two million visits a year.
Messier and Olympic gold
medal-winning figure skater Sarah
Hughes will lead educational and
athletic programs, and first-time
skaters will be able to participate,
as well.
“We are proud to call Mark
a partner in the Kingsbridge
National Ice Center, and we welcome this decision,” Kevin Parker,
the founder of Kingsbridge
National Ice Center Partners said
in a statement. “Mark is a legend
in New York City, as well as the
sport of hockey, and he will be
an integral part of this project’s
success.

“The Kingsbridge National Ice
Center will not only be a global
center of ice sports, it will also
create a world of opportunities for
young people in New York.”
Messier, who captained the
Rangers to the 1994 Stanley
Cup championship, hoped to
lead the team again — this time
from behind the bench — after
Tortorella was dismissed. He
interviewed with Sather for the
position that eventually went to
Vigneault, who was let go after the
season by the Vancouver Canucks.
“Mark Messier will always be
a part of the New York Rangers
family,” Sather said in a statement. “As a player and then as
part of the management team,
he brought incomparable passion and dedication to the organization. We wish him well in his
future endeavors.”
Messier took his position as
an assistant to Sather, who also
serves as Rangers team president, in August 2009.
A 16-time NHL All-Star,
Messier’s crowning achievement
with the Rangers came in 1994
when he led the team to its first
Stanley Cup title in 54 years. He
set a Rangers playoff record with
12 postseason goals, including
the Cup winner in Game 7 of the
finals against Vancouver.
Messier’s No. 11 was retired
by the Rangers in January 2006.
The Hockey Hall of Famer ranks
fifth on the team’s scoring list
with 691 points and seventh in
goals with 250 of the 694 he
scored in his career. He is second
in career NHL points with 1,887
and seventh in goals.
In addition to the championship with the Rangers, Messier
won the Stanley Cup five times
with the Edmonton Oilers, where
Sather served as coach and general manager.
Sather had a list of 13 potential coaching candidates that
he cut down to nine. He interviewed Messier and Vigneault
in person and decided to go
with experience.
Police, race organizers outline Atlanta 10K safety
ATLANTA (AP) —
Nearly every section of
the Peachtree Road Race
on July Fourth will be
watched by surveillance
cameras and police officers under tighter security in the wake of the
Boston Marathon bombing, Atlanta Police Chief
George Turner said
Thursday.
Organizers of the
10-kilometer race and a
local team of law enforcement officials consulted
with organizers of the
Boston Marathon and
a race in Colorado to
incorporate their security suggestions when
they planned this year’s
race.
Every
officer
in the Atlanta Police
Department will be on
duty between July 3 and
5, and will work 12-hour
shifts, Turner said. A
network of cameras
along the race route will
help authorities quickly
respond to potential
emergencies.
“I believe we have risen
to the occasion and developed a comprehensive
public safety plan utilizing our latest technology,” he said.
Peachtree Road Race
organizers say the event
is the largest 10K race
in the world and 60,000
people are expected to
participate. The event
is also expected to draw
about 150,000 spectators.
The
Atlanta
fire
department will offer
four engines, two teams
of paramedics riding
bicycles along the route,
and an ambulance bus
if a mass-casualty event
arises, Fire Rescue Chief
Kelvin Cochran said.
Thirty police officers
have been given SWAT
training in preparation
for the race and the holiday weekend and a bomb
squad will be on duty.
State police will be stationed at the start and
finish lines of the race
and will be inspecting
bags. Spectators were
urged to leave backpacks
and other large items at
home.
Race organizers will
again use a color-coded
alert system along the
roughly 6.2 mile race
course to inform spectators of any emergencies, Atlanta Track Club
Executive
Director
Tracey Russell said.
The alert system was
implemented at the 2012
road race and uses green
flags to signify a low alert
level, red to signify a high
alert level, and black to
represent an extreme
alert level. The flags will
be installed at the start
line, water stations and
at the finish line, Russell
said.
Aside from security
upgrades, the Boston
Marathon
bombing
doesn’t appear to have
had an impact on the
enthusiasm or level of
participation surrounding
