City pressure brings
biker groups together
MYRTLE BEACH — Biker groups
agreed to hold only one rally in
early May after Mayor Mark
McBride threatened to shut down
two similar events if they didn’t
combine.
The Myrtle Beach Harley
Davidson dealership* and the
Carolina Harley-Davidson Dealers
Association traditionally have held
their rallies during the same time.
But for the coming year the local
dealership decided to move its
event to May 6-15, and the
association stuck with May 16-21.
Organizers of the May 6-15
event agreed to drop it Thursday
after city, county and business
leaders said they would not allow
two Harley rallies in one month.
The city now will only recognize
the rally set for May 16-21 at the
Myrtle Beach Convention Center.
Officers put on leave
after fatal shooting
ANDERSON — Three Anderson
County sheriff’s officers involved
in a shooting during a standoff with
a man wanted on murder charges
have been placed on leave.
Michael Davis, 40, was killed
around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday after a
nearly eight-hour standoff at a
home in northern Anderson
County. An autopsy showed that
Davis had been shot twice in the
back, once with a handgun and
once with a rifle, said Anderson
County Coroner Greg Shore.
Anderson County sheriffs Capt.
Dale McCard said officers shot at
Davis when he exited the house,
armed with a handgun, and walked
toward his car. Davis argued with
deputies before the shooting, Shore
said.
McCard and Shore did not say
whether Davis fired his weapon
during the standoff.

CBS admits reports
may have been faked
NEW YORK — CBS News is trying
to restore its credibility after a
week of questions about its report
on President Bush’s National
Guard service, yet it may never
conclusively know whether it was
duped by fake documents.
The news division has
acknowledged for the first time
questions about the authenticity of
documents' used to support the
story, and it has promised a stepped
up effort to get at the truth.
The memos, purportedly written
by Bush’s late squadron
commander, Lt. Col. Jerry B.
Killian, indicated he had been
pressured to sugarcoat Bush’s
performance and that the future
president ignored an order to take
a physical. Several document
experts say they look suspiciously
like they were written on
computer, not a 1970s-era
typewriter.
CBS flew the late Killian’s
former secretary, Marian Carr
Knox, from Texas to New York
Wednesday for an interview, in
which she said she believed the
documents were fake but their
content accurate

Karzai evades second
assassination attempt
KABUL, Afghanistan — Assailants
fired a rocket at an American
helicopter taking President Hamid
Karzai on a rare foray into
Afghanistan’s troubled provinces
Thursday, but it missed, and he
escaped injury.
Karzai has survived at least one
previous attempt on his life. He
made light of the attack, which
renewed concern about the U.S.
backed leader’s safety amid Taliban
threats to derail the Oct. 9
presidential election.
Officials arrested three suspects.
The U.S. military said the rocket
missed the chopper as it
approached a landing zone near the
city of Gardez, 60 miles south of
Kabul. Karzai planned to open a
school in Gardez.

Golfing Gill drives
kids’ charity game
OKLAHOMA CITY — Vince Gill,
winner of 15 Grammys, is also a
pretty good golfer who says he
would have loved to play the
gdme as a professional.
Gill, who scored his fifth
career hole-in-one two months
ago in his hometown of
Nashville, Tenn., participated
Monday in the Vince &c Woody
Charity Pro-Am at Gaillardia
Golf & Country Club.
“Pm holding out just the
slightest glimmer of hope that
I’m going to explode onto the
senior tour,” the affable 6-foot-3
tenor said before whispering,
“I’m just kidding.”
The event benefits junior golf
and the Children’s Miracle
Network.
On Sunday night, a group of
amateurs bid $25,000 to play
with Gill and fellow singing
superstar Amy Grant, his wife of
four years.
Woody Austin, winner of the
Buick Championship two weeks
ago, said Gill’s “got game.”
“He just takes it too serious,”
Austin said. “I mean, wooh. I’m
• supposedly notorious for having
a hell of a temper. I’m a pussycat
compared to him.”
Former Bradys join
fitness competition
NEW YORK — Apparently, a
couple Bradys didn’t own any
exercise equipment.
Former “Brady Bunch” actors
Christopher Knight and Susan
Olsen, who portrayed Peter and
Cindy Brady respectively, as well
as four other not-so-A-list
celebrities signed up to shed
excess pounds for Discovery
Health Channel’s “Body
Challenge: Hollywood,” a 12
week health and fitness
competition.
“It’s not a beauty contest,”
Knight told The Associated Press
Tuesday. “It is a contest about
health. It was very illuminating
to me. I thought I knew what I
needed to know.”
The competitors, which
included Erik Estrada
(“CHiPS”) and Charlene Tilton
(“Dallas”), were given personal
trainers and nutritionists to help
in their transformation. Knight,
47, lost 50 percent of his fat
mass during the competition,
which was filmed last
December.
