HIGH POINT – High Point Community Theatre has encountered rough times, and the future isn’t looking much brighter.

Now without paid staff, the organization canceled its Thursday-Sunday performances of “Nunsense,” its final show of the year. The group, now led by a volunteer board of directors, substituted a fundraiser, “High Point Community Theatre Showcase: The Show Will Go On!” for Friday and Saturday at High Point Theatre.

Last week, the board replaced “...

The Show Will Go On!” with “HPCT Showcase: An Evening with Kelly Smith and Likewise Jazz,” also Friday and Saturday at the theater.

Details on the show cancellations and the group’s current financial situation were not available Monday.

Community Theatre’s sole staff member, longtime Executive Director Jennifer Blevins, left in March.

A March 30 e-mail from board Chairwoman Christie F. Morgan said only that Blevins was leaving the organization. Morgan told the News & Record that the board suspended Blevins’ paid position.

“With declining revenues from our supporters during these difficult economic times and substantial cuts from the High Point Area Arts Council, the transition to an all-volunteer organization was probably

“I have loved my work and, more importantly, the people who have come through HPCT over the last 28 years. The organization is not me, nor is it the board of directors. It is the actors, both adult and children, the volunteers and the audience members who have made it an important part of High Point, and for their sake, I hope that it continues to thrive.”

Inrecentyears,CommunityTheatre, with a budgeted revenue of $164,000 this year, has suffered the same in the poor economy as many other nonprofit groups. Its main sources of income – ticket sales, outside funding and donations – have declined.

Internal Revenue Service filings show that Community Theatre ended 2006 with a surplus of $15,102 and ended 2007 with a surplus of $842. It ended 2008 with a deficit of $16,921.

FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE

Community Theatre board Chairwoman Christi F. Morgan did not return calls from The High Point Enterprise requesting an interview at the end of March and again more recently. Last Wednesday, Morgan sent The Enterprise an e-mail saying she would be available Thursday for an interview, but she did not answer or return the Thursday call. She, however, gave an interview to the News & Record in Greensboro for an April 10 story.

Cathy M. Badgett, a professor in the school of Nursing at North Carolina A&T State University, received the Thelma Vines Scholarship from the Sigma Chi Chapter of Chi Eta Phi Sorority Inc. Badgett has served on the Alamance Community College School of Nursing Advisory Board for the last year.

Blevins and Community Theatre leaders predicted in 2006 that a new Arts Council allocations formula not incorporating a pre-1993 Theatre Rent Grant from the city would negatively affect the group.

City moves ahead with parks, transportation projects

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point City Council has given the go-ahead to a financing plan for several parks and recreation and transportation improvements.

Pending state approval, the city will use about $5.6 million in twothirds bonds to fund several projects, including improvements to the High Point Athletic Complex and the city’s greenway.

Councilman Mike Pugh was the only council member to oppose the bonds. Councilman Bill Bencini was absent from the vote. Some of the projects could begin next month. “(The council) did ask for more information on the greenway improvements. Before we sign any

engineering or construction contracts, they want a chance to look at that in more detail,” said City Manager Strib Boynton. “We’ll go ahead and issue the bonds, and then we’ll bring the detailed plans back for council to review.”

State law allows local governments to borrow money equal to two-thirds of the amount of the previous year’s retired bond debt.

City officials determined the projects can be paid for with money that’s already been allocated for debt service.

The city plans to use a portion of the money for work at the Athletic Complex, such as reconfiguration, resurfacing and marking of the parking lot on the north side of School Park Road, as well as improvements to bathrooms and concession facilities.

Officials said the work will be done in collaboration with improvements to A.J. Simeon Stadium overseen by Guilford County Schools.

“I think we’re finally going to get the entrance to Simeon Stadium improved and parking improved, and that benefits everybody who uses the complex,” said Boynton.

The bond money would also be used for the planned completion of the city’s greenway from University Park on Deep River Road to the Piedmont Environmental Center on Penny Road.

The other phase would entail using $2.4 million of the bond proceeds for various road improvements, streetscapes, sidewalks and other work in core city areas. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Allocations have dwindled over the past 5 years

HIGH POINT – High Point Community Theatre’s allocations from the High Point Area Arts Council have declined steadily in the past five years.

Community Theatre received a high of $68,000 in 2005-06, and its allocation dropped to $36,000 for the current fiscal year.

The Arts Council’s annual fund drive for itself and its affiliate groups has averaged less for the past five years. It netted $167,885 this year, the least raised since $167,000 in 1986. It raised a record $292,000 in 1999.

Community Theatre began receiving less when the Arts Council instituted a new funding formula in 2006

Theatre facing tough times. 1A

to be phased in during four years.

The formula allots money based on a percentage of each group’s revenue.

It is a tiered formula that groups affiliates based on income.

Based on revenue, the funding formula did not take into consideration terms under which an old Theatre Rent Grant from the city was rolled into the city’s annual contribution to the Arts Council for distribution to affiliates.

The city began the Theatre Rent Grant program in 1984-85. It gave money to Arts Council groups that

used the city-operated High Point Theatre. In 1993-94, when Mary Ewing was director, the Arts Council asked the city to discontinue grants to individual groups and instead fold them into the general allocation from the city to the Arts Council for distribution to affiliates. The city approved the request.

When the Shakespeare Festival ended its affiliation with the Arts Council in June 2009, Managing Director Pedro Silva cited reduced allocations that did not factor in the Theatre Rent Grant among his reasons for the break. He also cited an Arts Council rule forbidding affiliate groups to independently solicit money from the city and county.

Final draft of Thomasville budget to be presented next week

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville City Council on Monday night will be presented with a final draft of the 2010-11 fiscal year budget.

At its briefing Monday, the City Council decided to put the presentation of the budget on its agenda for next week’s regular monthly meeting and call for a public hearing for June 7 on the budget.

At a work session on the budget Monday, which followed the City Council’s briefing, the City Council set the tax rates and the funding allocations for outside organizations. The property tax rate of 56 cents per $100

Developer loses grant request. 1A evaluation and school supplemental tax rate of 18 cents per $100 evaluation will remain the same in the proposed budget, said Councilman Raleigh York Jr., chairman of the city’s personnel/finance committee.

“I think it’s reasonable, considering the conditions of the economy,” York said of the proposed budget. “We are pretty much holding the line and we are not laying any people off. That’s one of my main concerns is for our employees. We are

not going to furlough anybody at this time, so if our revenues come in good then we should be OK. We’ve had a few cuts in some discretionary spending in each department, but services are going to be maintained. I feel pretty good about it.”

During the work session, the City Council decided to eliminate funding completely for the Piedmont Triad Partnership because Davidson County is funding the partnership with $25,000.

The city’s other outside organizations will be funded the same as last year, York said.

“Davidson County is a contributor and they have a seat at the table, so they will be able to repre-

sent the city of Thomasville,” York said.

The proposed budget also includes an 8 percent increase for water and sewer rates. A previous sewer rate study had projected a 5.2 percent increase for the 2010-11 fiscal year, but rates need to be increased by 8 percent because the lack of revenue, according to city officials.

“It’s not much different from last year’s budget,” Councilman David Yemm said. “There’s not a big increase in stuff. What’s really hurting us is sales tax revenues that are down.

We stress that people shop in the city and county as much as possible.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

The City Council voted 4-2 against the request, with Councilman Neal Grimes and Councilwoman Jackie Jackson voting for the application.

Councilman Ronald Bratton was not present at the special-called meeting.

Because of the City Council’s decision, Morgan said the proposal to build the apartment complex in Thomasville is “dead.”

“We are not coming to Thomasville. Absolutely not,” he said.

ACCURACY

–

Because of an editor’s error, an article on 4B under student news in Thursday’s edition of The High Point Enterprise inadvertently omitted information that indicated scholarships recently awarded to 30 students by the Nido Qubein Associates Foundation were in fact based on academics and merit, and were not all needs-based. The Enterprise regrets the error.

problems with the rental housing that they have here.

“It’s very disappointing. It’s $4.9 million in tax revenue for the city and they just turned it down for no reason.”

Two people – local government watchdog Barney W. Hill and Thomasville resident Jane Hill – spoke against the request during a public hearing. “I want WeaverKirkland to build whatever Weaver-Kirkland wants to build,” Barney W. Hill said. “I just want them to build it with their own money.”

“I really think that we need to think seriously about adding more rental property to our city,” Jane Hill said. “We are overloaded with rental property.”

Morgan disagreed with Jane Hill, saying he studied the Chair City’s

amount of rental property. He said Thomasville needed more rental housing “bad.” Councilman Scott Styers said he thought Thomasville had too much rental property.

Kirkwood Village was proposed to be built on Old Raleigh Road. Morgan said rent for each of the apartments would have ranged between $500 and $700. “It’s about a $4.9 million investment into the community,” Morgan said of the project.

Councilman David Yemm said he was against submitting the application for Kirkwood Village because he thought grant money and tax credits should be used on former furniture buildings or property in the core of the city. Styers agreed with Yemm.

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville officials say a bad joint in a line was to blame for a wastewater spill of 7,480 gallons last week.

According to a city press release, the city had a wastewaer spill on May 6 of an estimated 7,480 gallons of untreated wastewater. The wastewater came from a bad joint in a line along Carter Drive and is suspected to have backed up in the line and come out at the bad joint due to root intrusion blocking the line downstream.

County health care cuts will cost us eventually “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” That thought lingered throughout the day after reading Guilford County no longer will fund adult health care for the poor. In these most dire times, our local government considers the most heinous act of cutting off such basic human service to those most in need. This government represents us. Does this represent you?

The county is required to provide health services for children, not adults. So they are budgeting to contract with this company that provides health services to prisons, lower cost but far less effective. True, this will save the county some money, but only on the front-end. That patient who no longer finds themselves at the adult health care clinics will find themselves at the most expensive health care facility in town, the emergency room. We will find ourselves paying for that through increased insurance premiums.

The way I see it, the total care provided by High Point Regional and Moses Cones’ collaborative project gives us the best return for the buck.

At times, I feel like one of those musicians on the sinking Titanic, having accepted our fate, we continue to play. We play our fiddles and watch as society accepts, or expects, less from itself.

Call your commissioners today.

They need to hear a good word from you. “Whatever you did ... you did for me.” That’s the government that represents our values.

Pray for peace.

Investment firms should pay price for deception Try to follow this. ... Goldman sets up a hedge fund made up of

high risk trades. These were actually bundled up subprime loans – loans banks were regulated against making because they would never “pass the mustard test.” Anyone with common sense knew most of these subprime loans were doomed to fail.

Then Goldman easily convinces investors this fund is a great investment. They even invest in it themselves. Then they take out insurance (called Credit Default Swaps-CDS) that bet against the fund.

These CDSs are the actual root of the credit crisis. They were not insured at face value, they were insured for many times that amount. Individuals made billions of dollars.

By not letting investors in on this incredible deal, I call that being mislead. Many Americans, including me, lost thousands upon thousands of dollars due to this unbelievable deception! All of these investment firms that pulled this off should be drawn and quartered. Think that will ever happen?

Kenner leaves authority in better shape

A QUICK THOUGHT

Founded in 1885

YOUR VIEW POLL

OUR VIEW

obert L. Kenner, who will walk away from the CEO’s position with the High Point Housing Authority May 31, can do so with the knowledge that the organization is in much better condition than when he arrived in 2003.

It hasn’t all been roses, however. One lingering challenge has been the Clara Cox Homes redevelopment project, which began in 2005 with demolishing of the former housing project. Funding for the planned 210 multifamily and 19 single-family homes development on the 19.4-acre site still is uncertain. The latest word is that a tax credit investor is lined up and construction is expected to start this summer.

Kenner gets credit for guiding the authority through federal budget cuts and increased scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, improving the agency’s efficiency, customer service and instituting proper business practices as well overcoming a wide variety of other challenges during his seven-year tenure. His shoes will be difficult to fill.

One of the ways Kenner changed the face of public housing and provided inspiration to current public-housing or Section 8 residents was establishment in 2006 of the “Pillars of Fame” monument on the fence built around the courtyard at Astor Dowdy Towers on E. Green Drive. It honors one-time public-housing authority residents who have gone on to “make a difference” in their occupations, professions and communities.

We wish Kenner, who came to High Point from the housing authority in Columbia, S.C., after 25 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and retiring with as a sergeant major in 1996, the best in his new venture, whatever it may be.

Perdue jobs plans heads state in wrong direction

T

here’s a big difference between incrementalism and gimmickry. Someone ought to advise Gov. Beverly Perdue of the distinction.

Hey, maybe that someone should be me!

Look at what the governor is proposing to encourage job creation in North Carolina’s still-shaky economy. When the General Assembly convenes for its 2010 session , Perdue will reportedly propose a multimillion-dollar package of subsidies and tax incentives for employers. It will include: • $15 million in state money to give small companies $1,000 for the hiring of each person unemployed for at least 60 days.

• $15 million for the One North Carolina Fund – the governor’s incentive kitty (which is puzzling given that fewer than a third of the 247 companies awarded grants out of the fund since 2005 have ended up claiming them).

• A $1 million guarantee of small-business loans issued by the Self-Help Credit Union.

• Another $7 million in separate grants to biotech, biofuels and “green jobs” projects.

• The extension of a $5 million tax-credit program for small companies that offer health insurance.

• Some $3.5 million in other tax credits, including extra money for hiring in distressed counties.

In a state economy that encompasses hundreds of billions of dollars in transactions every year, the dollar amounts in Perdue’s plan may seem trivial. Indeed, the plan won’t have a discernible effect at all on economic activity in North Carolina, unless you happen to be in the business of lobbying the Legislature on behalf of certain business groups or distressed counties. But that’s not the real problem with the governor’s proposal.

Incremental steps in favor of a worthy

long-term goal are always worth encouraging even when they aren’t likely to make a major dent in a problem in the short run. Unfortunately, Perdue’s plan largely consists of incremental steps taken in the wrong direction, toward OPINION fiscal gimmickry rather than fiscal reform.

John North Carolina would be Hood more prosperous under a tax ■■■ system that maintained low marginal tax rates, broad tax bases and a benign neutrality when it comes to how, where and why private businesses make decisions to advance their viability and profitability.

North Carolina needs to be more hospitable to businesses of all shapes and sizes.

It shouldn’t try to plan its economy or stack the deck. It is true that current incentive policies actually favor large firms – they are the ones most likely to capture the attention of politicians and meet the threshold of significance justifying private negotiations for incentive packages. This is a problem. The solution, however, is not to set up parallel subsidy programs for small firms.

I don’t believe in making the perfect the enemy of the good. Because it would be impractical to expect North Carolina immediately to replace its rickety tax code with a flat-rate income tax or abolish all corporate subsidies, I’d settle for incremental steps in each direction. For now, it seems, the best that can be hoped for is that the Legislature take no steps at all.

In other words, don’t just do something, stand there.

Israeli construction plans trouble new peace talks JERUSALEM – Israel said Monday it has no intention of halting construction of Jewish housing in hotly contested east Jerusalem, a first sign of trouble for newly launched U.S.-mediated peace talks.

Palestinians accused Israel of undermining trust and urged President Barack Obama to intervene.

The comments on construction from Israeli Cabinet Secretary Tzvi Hauser came a day after the White House praised Israel for agreeing to hold off construction of a major east Jerusalem housing project.

Afghan arrested in airplane disturbance KABUL – An Afghan man was arrested after boarding a passenger plane with a knife and trying to kick open a window while the plane was airborne, the Interior Ministry said Monday.

Nobody was hurt in the incident Sunday on an Ariana Afghan Airlines flight from Kabul to Mashhad, Iran, said Zemeri Bashary, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry. Security forces on the national carrier’s plane subdued the man quickly and he was arrested when the pilot made a scheduled landing in the southern city of Kandahar, Bashary said.

Israel admitted to OECD in key diplomatic win PARIS – Israel won a rare victory on the international diplomatic stage Monday, gaining acceptance in an exclusive club of prosperous economies after a 16-year effort to join the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development – and in the face of stiff Palestinian opposition.

The Paris-based OECD said it had invited Israel, as well as Estonia and Slovenia, to become members after they met specific criteria as developed, open economies. Once formally invested as members, the three will swell the ranks of the OECD to 34 members.

Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown reads a statement to the media outside 10 Downing Street in London, Monday, in which he said he intended to stand down as Labour Party leader.

UK’s Gordon Brown to resign Prime minister makes dramatic bid to keep Labour Party in power LONDON (AP) – British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made a dramatic bid to keep his beleaguered Labour Party in power after it was punished in elections last week, announcing Monday he will resign by September at the latest even if the Liberal Democrats – being wooed by the Conservatives – decide to join his party in government.

The political theater, played out in front of the iconic black door of No. 10 Downing Street, comes as David Cameron’s Conservatives – which won the most seats in Parliament but fell short of a majority – struggled in their attempts to win over the third-place Liberal Democrats.

Brown’s party has been willing to entertain supporting the Liberal Democrats’ demand for an overhaul of the voting system to-

Cindy Hickey, mother of one of three jailed Americans in Iraq, holds a photo of her son Shane Bauer in her Pine City, Minn., home.

Iran says mothers can visit 3 jailed Americans TEHRAN, Iran – Iran will allow the mothers of three Americans arrested along the Iraqi border in July to visit them in a Tehran prison, the foreign minister announced Monday, saying the decision was made on humanitarian grounds.

The case of the Americans, held for more than nine months, has exacerbated tensions between the two countries. Iran has accused Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Josh Fattal of illegal border crossing, espionage and having links to U.S. intelligence, and has said they would be brought to trial. Their families and the U.S. have denied the accusations and called for their release.

JERUSALEM (AP) – Israel’s deputy premier said Monday that Israel’s air force has improved its capabilities and is better prepared for a war with Iran, considered a dangerous enemy because of its nuclear program.

Moshe Yaalon, a former military chief, says the air force now has better refueling and range, and has made “a massive improvement in the accuracy of ordnance and intelligence.�

He told an air power conference Monday that the same sort of airstrikes Israel has used against terrorists along its borders also “can be used ... for war against the con-

There was an anti-Preval demonstration last week in the coastal town of Jacmel, Preval and many people have criticized the president’s low profile in the chaos that followed the earthquake, but this was the strongest showing of opposition to the Haitian leader since the catastrophe.

Obama taps Kagan for Supreme Court

Kagan in ’97 urged Clinton to ban late abortions LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – As a White House adviser in 1997, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan urged then-President Bill Clinton to support a ban on late-term abortions, a political compromise that put the administration at odds with abortion rights groups.

Documents reviewed Monday by The Associated Press show Kagan encouraging Clinton to support a bill that would have banned all abortions of viable fetuses except when the physical health of the mother was at risk. The documents from Clinton’s presidential library are among the first to surface in which Kagan weighs in the thorny issue of abortion.

Times Square bomb suspect still no-show in court NEW YORK (AP) – Where is Faisal Shahzad?

Solicitor General Elena Kagan stands with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden as she is introduced as Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court Monday.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Introducing his Supreme Court nominee to the nation, President Barack Obama on Monday portrayed Elena Kagan as a guiding force for a fractured court and a champion of typical Americans.

She would be the youngest justice on the court and give it three women for the first time in history.

Less excited, Republican senators said they would give the nomination a long, hard look in potentially contentious summertime confirmation hearings. One declared he would oppose her, but Democrats hold a strong majority of Senate seats, making eventual approval likely.

Oil spill swells to 4M gallons ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) – Black Hawk helicopters peppered Louisiana’s barrier islands with 1-ton sacks of sand Monday to bolster the state’s crucial wetlands against an epic oil spill, 4 million gallons and growing, in the Gulf of Mexico.

At the site of the ruptured well a mile below the surface, a remote-controlled submarine shot chemicals into the maw of the massive undersea leak to dilute the flow, further evidence that BP expects the gusher to

keep erupting into the Gulf for weeks or more.

Crews using the deepsea robot attempted to thin the oil – which is rushing up from the seabed at a pace of about 210,000 gallons per day – after getting approval from the Environmental Protection Agency, BP PLC officials said.

Two previous tests were done to determine the potential impact on the environment, and the third round of spraying began was to last into early Tuesday.

The EPA said the effects

of the chemicals were still widely unknown. BP engineers, casting about after an ice-like buildup thwarted their plan to siphon off most of the leak using a 100-ton containment box, pushed ahead with other short-term solutions.

sought someone he hopes will seal majority votes on a divided court, as the retiring Justice John Paul Stevens sometimes had the ability to do. The president, who said Kagan has “one of the nation’s foremost legal minds,� wanted someone who could counter the court’s conservative leaders as well as sway votes with her thinking.

Obama chose a nominee who has never been a judge, a factor the White House said had worked in Kagan’s favor, giving her a different perspective from the other justices. Poised to put his imprint on the court for a second time, the president embraced Kagan’s profile: a left-leaning lawyer who has won praise from the right, earned political experience at the White House and on the college campus.

Faircloth relishes broad voter support in state House race

The award is the highest honor presented

by Civitan clubs and recognizes long and dedicated service to the social service organization and community.

Hughes joined the Silver Valley club 34 years ago.

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Republican John Faircloth said his apparent outright victory in the 61st State House District primary reflects the political equivalent of strong wordof-mouth advertising for a long-standing business.

Faircloth, a High Point City Councilman and a former city police chief, said that his track record of service and profile in the community helped him finish a solid first in the campaign against three fellow Republicans.

“I felt like that I had the benefit of experience and the benefit of a lot of public service. I felt like it was difficult for an opponent to chop away too much at that – my name recognition,” said the 71-year-old real estate businessman.

Faircloth’s May 4 primary win should be verified today during the Guilford County Board of Elections canvass.

Since no Democrat is running, Faircloth is virtually certain to win the seat in the Nov. 2 general election. He would succeed retiring Rep. Laura Wiley, R-Guilford, in the district covering parts of High Point, Jamestown and southwest Guilford County.

Faircloth, who will remain on council this year, would begin serving in the N.C. General Assembly at the start of the 2011 session in late January.

His experience on council

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

John Faircloth talks about his campaign for the 61st State House seat and election outcome on Monday. the past seven years means that Faircloth knows members of the Guilford County and Triad legislative delegations, which will help him get oriented. Also, because it’s eight months to the start of the 2011 legislative session, Faircloth said he has time to examine how he can contribute to criti-

cal discussions, such as on job creation and a more friendly climate for small businesses.

“I have some grace time to get my arms around some issues. At this point, I don’t want to have any foregone conclusions about next January,” he said.

Faircloth hopes that

his ascension to the state House will end up being the final step in his public service career spanning decades.

“I just felt like this was a way to round out my career and do something I’d always had a desire for,” he said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Canvass should confirm win today

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Republican John Faircloth’s victory in the 61st State House District primary should be confirmed today during the election canvass, barring an unforeseen development.

With all 37 precincts reporting unofficial returns in the district, Faircloth received 1,774 votes, or 42.6 percent, in the four-candidate Republican primary. The next closest vote-getter is Paul Norcross of High Point with 1,048 votes, or 25.1 percent, according to the Guilford County Board of Elections.

For Faircloth’s margin to fall below the 40 percent threshold, which could trigger a runoff next month, 178 votes would have to shift from his column in today’s canvass by the Board of Elections without any more votes added to the total in the race.

Another scenario is that Faircloth’s vote total wouldn’t change, but his opponents would pick up at least 266 votes in the canvass to push Faircloth’s margin below 40 percent, according to calculations from the Board of Elections.

Board of Elections Deputy Director Charlie Collicutt said Monday that

it would be highly unusual in a nonpresidential year for a canvass to shift enough votes to affect the outcome of the 61st State House District race.

County boards of elections and the N.C. State Board of Elections stage the canvass after each election to verify results and make winners official.

No Democrat filed for the 61st State House District, meaning Faircloth is all but assured of capturing the seat in the Nov. 2 general election.

General Assembly returns Wednesday RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina legislative leaders are trying to prevent the economic recession from prolonging the General Assembly’s socalled “short” session.

Lawmakers return formally to work Wednesday for another round of tough spending choices as state tax revenues have failed to keep up with costs for the new fiscal year starting July 1.

While the budget gap – Democrats calculate it between $800 million and $1 billion – is nowhere close to last year’s fiscal chasm, spending reductions in education and health programs and at dozens of state offices will occur. Since additional broad tax increases appear off the table, requests by Gov. Beverly Perdue and others to expand programs or restore previous cuts will get close scrutiny, too.

“This is the beginning of some very difficult choices we’re going to have to make over the next several weeks,” said Sen. Tony Foriest, D-Alamance, an education budget subcommittee co-chairman. “This is not going to be easy.”

Lawmakers have been meeting for the past month to try to minimize House and Senate differences to adjust the second year of the spending plan they approved last summer.

S.C. police chief loses job over wreck investigation COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Columbia officials on Monday fired the police chief who refused to relinquish the investigation of a car crash involving the city’s first black mayor just hours after his election.

Tandy Carter, who was hired about two years ago, insisted that his officers could fairly conduct the investigation of the April 21 crash in which a 61year-old hotel worker was seriously injured when her car collided with a sport utility vehicle driven by Mayor-elect Steve Benjamin.

No details of the investigation have been released and no one has been charged in the wreck that injured Deborah Rubens.

Benjamin, who was on his way to a television interview early in the morning after he was elected,

had asked for an independent investigation to avoid the appearance of favoritism. The city council

Carter said he’ll challenge his termination.

Last week, in response to a request from Carter, the state attorney general’s office issued a ruling that the city council had full authority over the police force and could order the investigation turned over.

The Highway Patrol, however, said it would not take over the investigation because so much time had passed, but would review Tandy Carter the city’s investigation when it is complete.

ear Abby: “No Laughing Matter” (Feb. 22) wrote about her mother-in-law making snide comments because there is so little resemblance between her son and her grandchild.

It’s a fact that not all offspring look like their parents.

My husband and I have seven biological children who are now young adults. We marvel at the breadth and depth of our collective gene pool.

I am a petite browneyed brunette, and my husband is tall and blond with hazel eyes. None of our kids look alike. One daughter inherited my brown eyes, but her hair is blond. Two kids have my dark hair, but one has blue eyes and the other has green eyes. One son is the spitting image of his dad, while another resembles my father as a child. Our “baby” girl is the tallest female and has a buxom figure she certainly did not inherit from me.

Another thing: Out of all nine of us, our second child is the only family member who cannot curl her tongue. The study of genetics is an amazing thing, especially when we find out what we think we know isn’t necessarily so. – They’re All Ours in Virginia Dear All: Thank you for your in”gene”ious response.

Virginia governor wants I-95 tolls along NC border RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Virginia’s governor has asked federal highway officials to establish tolls on Interstate 95 near the North Carolina border to pay for repairs that he says are sorely needed along the busy interstate.

The tolls of $1 or $2 for each axle would generate $30 million to $60 million annually, Gov. Bob McDonnell wrote in a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

Virginia would be the only state south of Maryland to charge tolls on the interstate, which runs from Maine to Florida.

McDonnell said I-95 sees more accidents than almost any other major highway or road in the state.

“Interstate Route 95 is one of

ments and handle the matter with humor.

Read on: Dear Abby: ADVICE When my daughter Dear was about Abby 13, my ■■■ “dear” motherin-law said she didn’t look like her son, also implying that I had been unfaithful. I looked her directly in the eye and replied, “Of course she doesn’t look like your son. She resembles MY side of the family.” She never commented again.

– Not Unfaithful in Florida Dear Abby: The next time “No Laughing Matter’s” mother- in-law remarks how one child bears no resemblance to Dad, she should say, “You know, genetics are fascinating. I’ve often thought how much this beautiful child resembles you.” – Marc in Cleveland Heights Dear Abby: My oldest brother and I look identical despite our 10-year age difference. Our middle brother, however, didn’t look like either one of us. Our family jokingly referred to him as “the milkman’s son” until he hit middle age.

At that point in his life, he became the spitting image of our father. “No Laughing Matter” should not take her mother-in-

law seriously. – Kathy in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Dear Abby: I bet if that mother-in-law looked through an old photo album she might notice that this grandchild has Grandpa’s nose and eyes, and maybe Great-Uncle Charley’s ears. My wife and I have five children.

Three of them closely resemble us. The other two don’t look like they belong to us – until you look at my wife’s maternal cousins. Our daughter and one of her cousins could pass as twins. – Leroy in Poulsbo, Wash.

Dear Abby: My mother was widowed at 35 with three young children. A few years later, “Pop” came into our lives and married “us.” He always treated us like we were his biological kids and we knew we were loved.

Pop was a mailman in our small town and my brother used to tag along with him on his route.

Many people would comment that they “knew” immediately that this was his son, “He looks just like you!” ‘’No Laughing Matter” needs to move on. Life is too short to feel bad about thoughtless people and their silly comments.

30 but released Monday. “Currently, however, significant portions of Interstate Route 95 have deficient pavements and structures,” McDonnell added.

From the North Carolina border to Fredericksburg, more than $600 million in needed safety improvements have been identified, Virginia Secretary of Transportation Sean T. Connaughton said in an interview.

That stretch of highway – approximately 126 miles – records 21 deaths and 917 injuries per year, he added.

“This is essentially one the most heavily traveled roads in Virginia and the United States,” Connaughton said. “It is essentially American’s Main Street.”

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8 a.m. Tom has been awake for two hours and has had breakfast and read the paper with his wife.

She asks him a question. Tom canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer.

He tries, but the words wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come. Tom attempts to get up off the chair, and as he is getting up, he falls to the ground.

His right side is not working. Tom can only move his hand and leg a little.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on?

Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he move? He has no pain or shortness of breath. He was fine just a moment ago.

Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, who recently learned about stroke and transient ischemic attack, quickly figures out he is having a stroke and calls 911.

Emergency Medical Services rapidly transports him to the hospital for treatment.

After evaluation with blood work, electrocardiogram and a computerized axial tomography (CT) scan of Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain, the emergency department physician, after physical examination and review of the laboratory results and CT scan, feels the best course of action is to use tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), the clot-buster drug used to treat stroke.

After an hour of the infusion, Tom starts to note that the right side of his body is once again under his control, and his words are now coming out nearly normally.

A significant crisis has been averted. Yes, Tom has survived a stroke that in the past would have landed others in a nursing home for the rest of their days.

The above story is all-too frequent in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency departments. Most people do not arrive to the hospital early enough to receive tPA, which is still used in less than 10 percent of stroke victims. Getting to the hospital early if you are having a stroke is still the only way to improve chances of recovering from a stroke, the earlier the better.

If you have a sudden onset of slurred or interrupted speech, double vision, loss of vision, weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg, you might be having a stroke, and emergent evaluation is necessary.

Call 911 and get to the emergency department as soon as possible.

Gout control quite possible

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I am writing to you on behalf of my son-in-law. He has gout.

I would like information on this disease. My sonin-law wonders if there is a doctor that specializes in gout. – J.W.

BLONDIE

When the blood uric acid level rises, a gout attack is imminent. Uric acid comes from the daily turnover of cells. Levels rise either because the kidneys aren’t getting rid of it in the urine or because the body is making too much of it.

Uric acid from the blood seeps into joints as needleshaped crystals. The joint swells, turns red and hot, and hurts with pain beyond description. An attack comes on suddenly, in a matter of hours. The joint at the base of the big toe is often the first joint attacked, but knees, ankles, feet and other joints can be gout victims.

Your son-in-law has to take some anti-gout steps on his own. Weight loss is one. He has to use alcohol sparingly and give up beer. Of all alcoholic drinks, beer is the worst for gout patients. A gout diet is simple: Cut back on red meat and seafood.

They don’t have to be eliminated, just reduced.

Low-fat dairy products are encouraged.

Today’s gout patients live at a time with excellent gout control medicines. Ones for an acute attack include drugs like naproxen, ibuprofen and indomethacin. Colchicine, a gout medicine used for many decades, is still used and still works.

Prednisone is turned to if other medicines fail.

The second kind of gout HEALTH medicine is medicine Dr. Paul to prevent Donohue further ■■■ attacks.

When people have three or more attacks a year, have fewer but more severe attacks or have complications of gout like kidney stones, then the preventive medicines are called into play.

Allopurinol (Zyloprim) stops the production of uric acid. Probenecid enhances its excretion in the urine. A new drug, Uloric, can step in if the others are not working. It is expensive.

A rheumatologist (ROOM-uh-TOWL-uh-jist) is a specialist in joint illnesses, including gout.

Dear Dr. Donohue: For almost a week, I suffered from a dull pain in my sinuses and a thick discharge from my nose. I was sure I had sinusitis.

I saw my doctor hoping for antibiotic treatment.

After examining me – and he was quite thorough – he said I didn’t need any antibiotics. I am over it now, but I know I would have been over it sooner if the doctor had given me antibiotics. Do you agree? – K.J. I agree with your doctor.

About eight out of 10 people seeing a doctor for the symptoms you describe would leave the

doctor’s office with an antibiotic prescription. It’s been shown that antibiotics for a condition like this do no more good than does a placebo, a fake pill.

A somewhat surprisingly large number of people actually come down with side effects from the antibiotics. Antibiotics are not without potential complications. Furthermore, indiscriminate use of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance and the emergence of super germs.

Shake your doctor’s hand for me. Stick with him.

He’s a good doctor.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Since then I have been taking levothyroxine (Synthroid or Levoxyl). Would thyroid extract containing iodine work just as well? Should I be tested more than once a year? – M.B. By thyroid extract, do you mean desiccated thyroid obtained from the thyroid glands of pigs? If you’ve been getting along fine with levothyroxine – the most prescribed thyroid-replacement medicine – you have no reason to switch. All thyroid preparations have iodine in them. It’s part of the thyroid hormone molecule. Once-a-year testing is sufficient.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

NEW YORK (AP) – Barbara Walters said that she will have surgery to replace a faulty h e a r t v a l v e later this week and take the summer Walters off from “The View” to recuperate.

Kerrigan’s brother’s bail terms eased for surgery

Probe shows Toyota waited months to issue 2005 recall MIAMI (AP) – Toyota waited nearly a year in 2005 to recall trucks and SUVs in the United States with defective steering rods, despite issuing a similar recall in Japan and receiving dozens of reports from American motorists about rods that snapped without warning, an Associated Press investigation has found.

The lengthy gap between the Japanese and U.S. recalls – strikingly similar to Toyota’s handling of the recent recall for sudden acceleration problems – triggered a new investigation Monday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which could fine the automaker up to $16.4 million.

That was also the amount Toyota paid last month in the acceleration case.

“Our team is working to obtain documents and information from Toyota to find out whether the manufacturer notified NHTSA within five business days of discovering a safety defect in U.S. vehicles,” NHTSA Administrator David Strickland said.

“We are taking this seriously and reviewing the

WOBURN, Mass. (AP) – The brother of figure skater Nancy Kerrigan, who is charged with manslaughter in the death of their father, has gotten permission to have knee surgery and help his mother with outdoor chores.

Mark Kerrigan has been confined to the family’s house in Stoneham, Mass., with GPS monitoring. He posted $25,000 bail after pleading not guilty in the January death of 70-year-old Daniel Kerrigan.

Judge Jane Haggerty granted a defense request Monday to remove Mark Kerrigan’s monitoring device for the surgery. She also said he may take out the trash and do yard work.

An automaker is required to notify NHTSA about a

The agency has now linked 16 crashes and three deaths to the steering rod defect, the agency told the AP. When a steer-

Tony Griffey no longer wants to hide mental illness that has affected him and his family

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – The irony of Tony Griffey’s schizophrenic life isn’t lost on him.

One day he’s Anthony Dean Griffey, the world-renowned, four-time Grammy Award-winning singer whose majestic tenor voice brings audiences to their feet and can move them to tears. The next day he’s Tony again, the compassionate son trying to care for his mentally ill father.

From the Kennedy Center to the psychiatric ward.

“That life in itself is a bit schizophrenic,” says Griffey, who will be the keynote speaker next week at the annual meeting of the Mental Health Association in High Point.

Griffey Griffey’s presentation, titled “Anthony Dean Griffey: Singing and Speaking From the Heart,” will feature the High Point native singing a few songs and sharing an intimate view of his journey through the underworld of mental illness – caring for a father and brother who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and battling his own bouts of depression.

“It’s time for me to break the silence and talk about this issue, because it’s something I’ve had a passion for and something I’ve been dealing with since I was a child,” Griffey says. “I’ve been given a singing

’There were some people who said it was going to ruin my whole career because of the stigma.’

Tony Griffey Opera singer voice, but I was also given a speaking voice, and I don’t feel like I have a choice about speaking out on this issue. It’s what I have to do.”

Griffey says a few friends discouraged him from sharing his story.

“I’ve had people say, ‘I’d be careful if I were you – people may look at you in a different way,’” he says. “Well, I don’t care how they look at me. If I can help one person, then my job’s done.”

According to Griffey, his father was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 23 and was institutionalized for a time at a mental hospital in Butner, forcing Griffey to grow up in a hurry. Even as a child, Griffey says, he became a caregiver for his father, privately fighting for his rights as a patient while publicly covering up for his erratic behavior and sometimes lengthy absences.

“It’s a lot of responsibility to be the caregiver,” Griffey says softly, “but in me being the caregiver – for my father and my brother – you also have to know that the genetic pool for me to become depressed is there, and I have had to fight that battle, too.”

At the urging of his voice teacher at The Juilliard School, Griffey went into therapy – and stayed in therapy for about a decade – to help him overcome his shyness and cope with the up-and-down life of a performing artist.

“It was the best advice anyone had ever given me,” he explains, “because as a performing artist, you’re constantly on a roller-coaster ride. Some people will think you’re the best thing since peanut butter, and some people just will not care for your style of singing, and as a person I had to learn that my gifts are separate from who I am as a person.”

It’s been a struggle for Griffey – who grew up a shy, overweight child ridiculed by classmates – and it remains a struggle.

The Mental Health Association in High Point will hold its annual meeting May 19, at 6:30 p.m., at the High Point Country Club.

The program will be “Anthony Dean Griffey: Singing and Speaking From the Heart,” in which the High Point singer will discuss his personal and family experience with mental illness.

Tickets are $40 apiece and should be purchased by Friday.

To order tickets or for more information, call the Mental Health Association at 8837480, Ext. 32.

“My Achilles heel is eating,” Griffey says.

“I’m not a drinker, I’m not a smoker and I don’t do drugs, but to numb the pain that I deal with, I eat, and that’s something that I have to battle daily.”

Having been around mental illness most of his life, Griffey knows firsthand the stigma associated with it. He remembers the terror he felt in 1998 when a New York Times article about his background and his budding career exposed his father’s and brother’s schizophrenia.

“It was frightening,” Griffey says. “There were some people who said it was going to ruin my whole career because of the stigma, and that people would look at me in a different way because they would think that I had schizophrenia, and they would be afraid to hire me or I wouldn’t be able to do my job. All of that is not true, of course, but at the time it was terrifying to read that in the newspaper.”

Now, as Griffey prepares to share his story locally, and in much more detail, he admits to being nervous – much more so than he is before, say, a performance at the Metropolitan Opera – but he’s determined to speak out.

Griffey’s candor can go a long way toward helping erase the stigma of mental illness, says Ellen Cochran, executive director of the Mental Health Association in High Point.

“The mentally ill are our family members,” she says. “They’re not in institutions. They’re our friends, our neighbors, our wives and husbands, our brothers and sisters, our moms and dads. And it’s critical that we have an understanding of that. The only way people are going to get it is if they realize they don’t have to hide anymore.”

CROSSWORD

Tuesday, May 11, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Holly Valance, 27; Katie Wagner, 46; Frances Fisher, 58; Eric Burdon, 69 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: There is plenty to gain through helping others, so don’t wait for someone else to take the lead when your knowledge and expertise should be recognized and appreciated.

Letting someone steal your thunder will lead to anger and resentment, not the advancement you want and need. Think of what you can accomplish and don’t stop until you reach your destination.

Your numbers are 2, 9, 16, 24, 28, 36, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): The more involved you are in challenging social events or activities, the more knowledge and self-assurance you will pick up. Your greater understanding of what is going on around you will enable you to stand up to any pressure. Don’t give in. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your stubbornness will pay off if you are dealing with someone who is trying to take advantage of you. Your nononsense attitude will let everyone know that you mean business. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There are people who need help and those who want help. Do your homework so you know exactly what everyone has to offer and what each requires in return.

You can take a leadership position. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t meddle even if someone asks you for your opinion. As soon as you make suggestions, you will be blamed for interfering. An emotional matter will escalate if you are pushy or refuse to hear the opinions of others. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may have to compromise but, in the end, you will gain the upper hand. Not everyone will be thinking rationally.

Your ability to make the most of what you’ve got will bring you victory. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep a close watch on your finances. Trying to please someone may help you get ahead at work but, when it comes to your personal life, you’ll meet with opposition and complaints. Use a gentle nudge. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mind your own business and stay out of trouble. A little gossip is all it will take to make someone you care about angry. A passionate approach to whatever you do will make an impression on someone you would like to get to know better. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get approval before you decide to move forward with one of your ideas. There will be people who aren’t willing to take a chance. Explain exactly what it is you are doing in order to set someone at ease and get the go-ahead. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You must come up with some original ideas if you want to gain the support of someone you need to complete your plans. Problems at home will escalate if you don’t address complaints being made about neglect or your irresponsibility. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make overdue changes at home to lift spirits and eliminate the complaints of the past. Your concern to get things done right for the people you care most about will enhance your relationships and ease tension. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t keep making the same mistake over and over again.

Address problems quickly so you can move on.

You have a responsibility to the people who care about you most. Love is apparent; honesty will make it happen. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The more adaptable you are, the more you will get in return.

Share your thoughts and ideas and find ways to incorporate other people’s suggestions into your plans. A good friendship will help you accomplish the most. ★★★

BRIDGE

Like many people, Unlucky Louie has an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.

Louie was today’s South, and when he saw dummy, he thought he had underbid. Cursing his cowardice, Louie ruffed the opening lead and took the K-A of trumps. When West discarded, Louie cashed the ace of clubs and led a low club.

West won and led another spade, and Louie ruffed, then ruffed a club in dummy. East overruffed, and West’s queen of clubs scored later for down one.

HOROSCOPE

draw trumps and claim.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 9 8 2 H A J 9 4 D A 5 2 C 4 2. The dealer, at your left, opens one diamond. Your partner doubles, and the next player passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: Game chances are excellent. You surely have a fit in a major suit, and your ace of diamonds may face a singleton. Your hand isn’t quite strong enough to insist on game; nevertheless, cuebid two diamonds. When partner bids a major suit next, raise him to three to invite game.

South dealer Both sides vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

HPU retains Big South tourney

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Point University made such a positive impression in hosting the past two Big South Conference women’s basketball tournaments at the Millis Center that it is getting the opportunity to do it again.

The league announced Monday that it has awarded the tournament to HPU for the next two seasons.

The one for the upcoming academic year is slated March 11-13, 2011.

“This means 2,000 people will be coming to High Point to stay in the hotels

and eat in the restaurants – and we like doing everything we can like that for the city,” Keilitz HPU athletics director Craig Keilitz said. “This gives us a little better advantage at qualifying for the NCAA Tournament, but what is really satisfying is the fine job our staff did. I heard several comments from coaches and athletics directors that they wanted to come back to High Point. That meant a lot to us.”

HPU was chosen over

UNC Asheville and Winthrop.

“We had such a positive reaction from everyone about the staff and the facilities that I thought that the biggest worry was if the league wanted to just move it around,” Keilitz said.

If HPU hosts the next two tournaments as planned, it would be the first school in conference history to have the event four years in a row. Radford hosted it three straight times from 1991-93.

“We were impressed with the job High Point has done over the past two years,” Big South commis-

sioner Kyle Kallander said by telephone. “They have done an outstanding job hosting our student-athletes both in the games and in the events and activities away from the court. They deserved to hold the tournament for the next two years.”

Kallander said the most impressive off-court activity was a social and awards banquet at the school’s theatre complex the night before the opening round.

“It had an ESPN.zone atmosphere,” Kallander said. “They made all of our teams feel very welcome.”

The tournament has

played to less than packed houses at the Millis Center.

“Attendance has been good, but we are not completely satisfied,” Kallander said. “But they’ve had some good crowds, especially for the games involving HPU. I’m sure the people at HPU are concerned about it and will be working hard to improve it.

“But one of the considerations in the decision to come back to HPU is that by staying there, we can build a fan base over time.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

NASCAR Hall ready for opening O

f all the artifacts curator Buz McKim collected for the NASCAR Hall of Fame, the one he took the most joy in obtaining wasn’t an old trophy.

The find that tickles McKim the most is a maroon-andblack jacket. Well, not just the jacket, which is significant enough because it belonged to Fireball SPORTS Roberts. What made it more special is that Greer when McKim got it Smith from Roberts’ friend ■■■ Judy Judge, they found the pockets contained a ticket and Roberts’ garage pass from a race at Atlanta in April of 1964, seven weeks before he suffered what were eventually fatal burns in the World 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

“The jacket itself was remarkable, but when we reached in and pulled out the items that had been in those pockets since 1964, that was just icing on the cake,” McKim said. “That was fantastic. I don’t know if she had forgotten they were in there. But, I stuck my hand in and pulled them out and said, ‘Look at this.’ ” The jacket and its contents are just part of the icing the public will find when the Hall opens today. Festivities begin at 9 a.m. with a ceremony to be attended by dignitaries that include Gov. Beverly Perdue, NASCAR chairman Brian France and president Mike Helton, and at least 22 current and former drivers. Patrons will be admitted beginning at 10 while activities continue outside throughout the day.

The opening is a prelude to the May 23 induction of the Hall’s first class: Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Junior Johnson, Bill France Sr. and his son Bill France.

Once inside, customers will find much more than artifacts in the 150,000-square-foot Hall that the city of Charlotte thought was so important to land that it took on $142 million in debt backed by a hotel/motel tax and got another $42 million in loans from two banks.

What is inside is a high-tech attraction dotted with interactive activities, one of the most impressive being race car simulators built by Terry Labonte’s marketing display

AP

Jimmie Johnson’s No. 48 car is at the rear of historically significant cars placed in chronological order on Glory Road near the entrance to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte. The attraction opens today. company in Archdale and tweaked

by Labonte in their set-up to give the real feel of driving a Cup Series car.

The technology includes signing in with a plastic card which is used to access the many touch-screens and other activities throughout the Hall. Some of the exhibits, such as a race week display that includes an exhibition of car parts and the ability to go inside a hauler, are for the novice. Others, especially some of the memorabilia, will appeal to the more hard-core fan.

“We wanted to provide something for people who have grown up around the sport and those who haven’t grown up around the sport,” Hall executive director Winston Kelley said.

The tour starts with a 12-minute movie on the history of NASCAR that doesn’t shy away from the fact that the sports’ roots can be traced to those who hauled illegal whisky back in the 1940s. Exit from the 275seat theatre leads into the main hall.

The hall leads directly to the striking Glory Road section, which features 18 historic cars on a mock stretch of track that demonstrates the banking of turns from absolutely flat to the 36 degrees of pitch at Talladega.

The cars range from the 1939 Ford coupe in which Red Byron won the first NASCAR race to one of the Chevrolets that Jimmie Johnson used in winning his fourth straight championship last season. Among

those is an Olds like the one in which Lee Petty won the first Daytona 500 and the Plymouth in which Richard Petty set the records of 10 victories in a row and 27 wins in a season in 1967.

Along the road are information cards about different tracks, the first one detailing Bowman Gray Stadium because it is one of the flattest in the NASCAR realm. The road leads to the Hall of Honor, where those elected to the Hall will be enshrined.

Next comes the race week display that includes what goes on at a race shop and at the race track. In that section are the race-car simulators and the opportunity to simulate jacking a car, taking the lugs off a wheel and putting in a can of fuel.

Up a couple of flights of stairs from there is the history and memorabilia section that begins with acknowledgment to the bootlegger days with a display of a still provided by Junior Johnson that Johnson put together

by Johnson when the Hall’s construction crew couldn’t. The history section includes a stop in which videos of the closest finishes in NASCAR history can be accessed.

The memorabilia includes all sorts of trophies and old programs – as expected – but contains much more. There’s even a sheet of paper listing those who donated money as a reward for catching thieves who broke into the garage area and stole equipment from a team at a race in the late ’70s. Among those on the list

of contributors is former Enterprise sports editor Benny Phillips.

In an area dedicated to advancements in safety is one of the most notable items: the independent report NASCAR commissioned on Dale Earnhardt’s fatal crash in the 2001 Daytona 500.

“I was fortunate that I knew a lot of people in addition to the drivers,” McKim said. “One person would lead to another and so on.

And, I had contacts with some of the Legends clubs, so I saw what they had.”

The networking led to donated collections. One contains a part of one fan’s collection of die-cast models of cars driven by Jeff Gordon. Another from area racer Billy Biscoe includes an illegal cylinder head and an illegal flywheel Another case contains Alan Kulwicki memorabilia donated by his stepmother.

The area also includes biography cards that give information on promoters, officials, car owners and pioneers in the media as well as drivers.

“We wanted hands-on experiences as well as the historical experiences, the whole spectrum,” Kelley said during an open house for the media last week. “Based on the feedback we’ve gotten from people, I think we’ve gotten there.”

Kelley will find out for real beginning today. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HIT AND RUN

---

I

always smile when a big-leaguer tosses a perfect game.

It’s such a rare achievement – Oakland’s Dallas Braden became only the 19th Major League pitcher to throw a perfect game with Sunday’s 4-0 win over Tampa Bay – and few events in sports match the sheer drama of a potential perfect game in progress.

But there’s another reason I like perfect games.

They remind me of one of the most underappreciated accomplishments in big-league history.

Ernie Shore, who was born near East

Bend in 1891, enjoyed a solid nine-year MLB career. He went 65-43 with the Red Sox and Yankees from 1912-20 and posted a 2.47 ERA. Shore went 3-1 in World Series play for the Red Sox in 1915 and ‘16 and his best season came in 1915. Shore finished 18-8 that season with a sterling 1.64 ERA. He later served as sheriff of Forsyth County and led the efforts to build the stadium that now bears his name.

But one game cemented Shore’s place in baseball history.

On June 23, 1917, Boston’s Babe Ruth started the opening game of a doubleheader against Washington at Fenway Park. He

walked the first batter, got into a vehement argument with umpire Brick Owens, caught the ump with a glancing blow, and was ejected.

Shore relieved the Babe and after the baserunner was caught stealing, ol’ Ernie retired the next 26 batters as the Red Sox secured a 4-0 victory.

That effort has to rank as the greatest relief appearance in big-league history.

Shore died in 1980 at the age of 89.

His unique “unofficial perfect game” ensures he’ll never be forgotten.

Winston-Salem Dash outfielder Brandon Short was named Monday as the Carolina League’s “Player of the Week” for the week of May 3 – May 9. Short became the second straight Dash player to receive the award. Justin Greene, an outfielder, won it last week.

Short hit .412 and notched three doubles, two home runs, six RBI, and nine runs scored during the week.

He led the league in hits (14) and runs scored, while landing in the top five in batting average, home runs, slugging percentage (.676) and OPS (1.088).

Short had a 26-game hitting streak snapped on Sunday, when he went 0-for-4 in the series finale with the Salem Red Sox. The streak was the longest in professional baseball at any level this season and was the second longest in WinstonSalem baseball history. Only Thomas (Reid) Nichols’ 30-game hit streak for the 1979 WinstonSalem Red Sox eclipsed Short’s.

The streak was also tied for the fifth longest in Carolina League history.

Over the course of the streak, Short hit .403 with ten doubles, one triple, three home runs, 25 RBI, and 20 runs scored.

Tiger: Accident, neck injury unrelated NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) – Tiger Woods insists there’s “zero connection” between the neck spasms playing havoc with his golf swing and his Nov. 27 car accident.

Woods said during a news conference Monday that his neck started bothering him two weeks before the Masters, his first competition in five months. He brushed it off as “no big deal” and believed he could play through the pain. That changed on Sunday at The Players Championship, where Woods’ creaky neck locked up. That prevented him from making his usual forceful turn on the ball on even a routine shot, and he was forced to withdraw after six holes.

“I’m at a point now where I just can’t go anymore,” he said. “I want to practice, I want to play, I want

to compete, but this is not allowing me to do the things that I need to do on my golf swing to hit the proper shots. I need to get to where I can do that again.”

Woods said he’s been taking antiinflammatory drugs, but they have not helped. He plans to have an MRI when he returns to Orlando, Fla. In November, Woods was briefly hospitalized after he crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and a tree outside his home, resulting in a sore neck and a cut lip.

On Monday, Woods insisted he can deal with the sharp, shooting pain, which he feels in the right side of his neck, but cannot deal with the spasms that affect his ability to turn his head.

“For me not to play all 18 holes, that was as angry and as frustrated

as I’ve been in a long time,” Woods said of Sunday’s abbreviated round.

It was his first withdrawal from a tournament since the Nissan Open at Riviera in 2006.

After tying for fourth in the Masters, Woods looked lost on the course as he missed the cut at Quail Hollow on April 30 with the highest 36-hole score of his career.

Woods has played little like the golfer who collected his 82nd title worldwide in Australia six months ago, just before his personal life became a national punchline.

Woods spent some of his time at The Players denying speculation he is about to leave Hank Haney, his swing coach since 2004. He said that he was working on his swing. Woods was noncommittal about playing the U.S. Open on June 17-20.

Carpenter made only two starts in four seasons for the Cowboys, and was a backup inside linebacker in a 3-4 defense last season.

The trainer called 911 and Steigers was taken to Grand Ronde Hospital and later flown to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. Doctors said he suffered an acute subdural hematoma as a result of the head injury.

Wildcats open 15-shot lead at state tourney ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

SOUTHERN PINES – Westchester Country Day School moved halfway toward its first state golf championship Monday.

The Wildcats used a surge on the back nine to register a 304 total and a 15-shot lead over ArendellParrott after the first round of the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A championship at Talamore Golf Resort.

Cape Fear and KerrVance are tied for third at 320 in the eight-team tournament that concludes with 18 more holes today.

St. David’s is fifth at 325, followed by Rocky Mount (342), Village Christian (345) and Cary Christian (352).

“We had a rough start on the front,” Westchester coach Adam Schwartz said. “But we kept our composure and played the back nine really strong. If

we keep doing what we did today, we should be in good shape tomorrow.”

Jonathan DiIanni, a sophomore, led the Wildcats with a 2-over-par 73, one behind individual leader Andrew Price of Gaston Day. Will DiIanni and Andrew Bauer, both seniors, came home in 76.

Thomas Walsh, a seventhgrader, added a 79.

Schwartz said Walsh had the biggest turnaround, going from a 42

on the front nine to a 37 on the back. He also thought that Bauer, normally the team’s No. 5 scorer, provided a big lift with his 76.

“We really needed that,” Schwartz said.

The Wildcats’ tee times today run from 11:24 a.m. to 12:04 p.m.

“They are excited but understand that they are at halftime,” Schwartz said. “Fortunately, we have later tee times, so

we can get a good night’s sleep, have breakfast at a regular time and then get in some practice.”

Playing the course and staying at the resort over spring break is proving to be a plus, according to Schwartz.

“They understand how tough the greens are and how important it is to hit it in the fairway,” Schwartz said. “Playing here before has given them some confidence.”

Synergy drives Suns PHOENIX (AP) — Coach Alvin Gentry calls it “synergy,” a word that means, essentially, something greater than the sum of its parts.

That’s perfect for these upstart Phoenix Suns.

They are, in simpler terms, a lot better than just about anyone expected them to be.

The Suns have won six playoff games in a row, a franchise record, dispatching their longtime nemesis San Antonio with a four-game sweep to advance to the Western Conference finals.

“I’m just so proud of these guys and what they’ve done and how they’ve gotten it done,” Gentry said. “I just have a ton of respect for our team and what they represent.”

Maybe this playoff success shouldn’t be such a surprise. After all, the Suns are 36-9 since Jan. 28, 22-4 since March 14.

Dallas and San Antonio were supposed to be the big threats to the Los Angeles Lakers in the West, not this undersized band

Christ School. Ravenscroft was third at 298 with Charlotte Country Day fourth at 307.

Wesleyan and Charlotte Providence Day were another two shots back.

Davis Womble led the Trojans with a 72.

Other counting scorers for Wesleyan, all with 79s, were James Canaday, Michael Hunter and Nick Cebollero.

BASEBALL SOUTHWEST GUILFORD 2, EAST FORSYTH 1 HIGH POINT – Matt Orth struck out 17 batters and Southwest Guilford struck for a pair of runs in the fourth inning of the Cowboys’ 2-1 win over East Forsyth in the Piedmont Triad 4A Tournament title game.

East (17-7) opened with a double and runscoring single before Orth, a freshman lefty, slammed the door shut. He allowed just one more hit and a walk the rest of the way.

With two outs in the fourth, Elliott Slack reached on an error. Davis Inman worked a full count and staved off several pitches before finally sending a single to right that was misplayed, allowing Inman to score. Kyle Miller then scorched a single to center for the go-ahead run.

Southwest (23-4) opens the 4A playoffs Friday at home against Southeast Guilford.

SOFTBALL SW GUILFORD 10, HP CENTRAL 1 HIGH POINT – Southwest Guilford scored eight runs on eight hits in the fifth inning to coast to a 10-1 victory over High Point Central in the opening round of the Piedmont Triad 4A Conference Tournament.

The host Cowgirls (15-7) advanced to a 6 p.m. semifinal game at Glenn today against East Forsyth.

Jessica Becher got the pitching win Monday, allowing three hits and an unearned run while striking out six. Becher also led the offense with a 3-for-4 night. She connected for a triple, drove in two runs and scored twice.

Ally Davenport went 3-for-4 with a run and three RBIs, while Meredith Davenport was 2-for-4 with a run and three driven in.

Charity Douglas singled, doubled, scored once and drove in two, Kayla McCurry was 2-for-4 and scored twice, and Savannah Peck added two hits and also scored once.

Cavs could put James on Rondo INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Cavaliers coach Mike Brown says LeBron James might play more defense on Boston guard Rajon Rondo in Game 5 of their playoff.

Rondo had 29 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists in the Celtics’ 97-87 win Sunday that evened the series at 2-2.

James is one of the NBA’s top defenders.

But Brown said Monday he is reluctant to have AP

Phoenix guard Steve Nash comes off the court during the fourth quarter of Game 4 of a Western Conference semifinals series on Sunday. Nash’s right eye needed six stitches after taking an errant elbow from Tim Duncan.

Phoenix won 107-101, winning the series 4-0. of sharpshooters. But the Suns are not the 7-seconds or less, defenseless bunch of Mike D’Antoni.

It’s not really a fastbreak team, Gentry keeps repeating, but what he calls “a rhythm team,” an offense based on unselfish passing and the devastating pick and roll of Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire.

“We aren’t the most talented team,” Nash said, “but we believe in each other and enjoy playing

together. It’s a pleasure to play with this group.”

Nash looked like a beat-up prize fighter as he spoke after Sunday’s series clincher. His performance will go down as one of his most memorable, and that’s saying something for the twotime MVP. He left in the third quarter after catching an inadvertent elbow from Tim Duncan, causing a cut above his right eye that required six stitches.

James go head-to-head with Rondo because he has been doing such a good job on Paul Pierce.

Pierce is averaging just 11.8 points and shooting 32 percent in four games. Brown says if a smaller player guards Pierce it could “open another can of worms.” Rondo says he doesn’t really care who’s guarding him.

The Cavaliers had a light workout Monday.

Game 5 is Tuesday.

Orlando completes sweep of Atlanta ATLANTA (AP) — The Orlando Magic are playing like a team that will settle for nothing less than its first NBA championship.

Vince Carter scored 22 points to lead another dominating performance by the Magic, which finished off its second straight playoff sweep with a 98-84 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night.

Orlando won the four games by an average of 25 points — a total blowout that no one could have expected in a matchup between the teams that finished second and third in the Eastern Conference.

But the Magic, who lost to the Lakers in last year’s NBA Finals, are playing better than anyone at the most important time of the season.

A white flag bearing Ernie Harwell’s initials is raised on Monday, before the Detroit Tigers first home game since their longtime announcer died last week.

Arroyo ties up Pirates

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Bronson Arroyo limited Pittsburgh to one run over seven-plus innings, Scott Rolen and Laynce Nix doubled in runs and the Cincinnati Reds held off the Pirates to win 2-1 on Monday night.

Arroyo (2-2), trying for his fourth career shutout, had permitted only three singles until Ronny Cedeno led off the eighth by homering down the left-field line, his third of the season.

Manager Dusty Baker lifted Arroyo after Delwyn Young followed with a pinch-hit single, and reliever Arthur Rhodes got the next three outs.

Arroyo couldn’t have been much sharper until the eighth, retiring the side in order four times while not permitting a runner past second base until Cedeno homered.

RED SOX 7, BLUE JAYS 6 BOSTON — Brandon Morrow set a Toronto Blue Jays record by walking five batters in one inning as the Boston Red Sox scored four runs in the second and went on to a 7-6 win Monday night.

Montreal forces Game 7 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONTREAL — Michael Cammalleri scored his second goal of the game midway through the second period and Jaroslav Spacek netted the goahead tally 2:30 later for the Montreal Canadiens, who forced a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night.

Maxim Lapierre also scored 11:03 into the third to give Montreal a 4-2 lead.

FLYERS 4, BRUINS 0 BOSTON — Michael Leighton came off the bench after Brian Boucher was injured and made 14 saves to complete the combined shutout, leading Philadelphia over Boston and helping the Flyers avoid elimination in Game 5 of the best-ofseven Eastern Conference semifinals.

Fannie Mae seeks $8.4 billion more WASHINGTON (AP) – Fannie Mae has again asked taxpayers for more money – this time $8.4 billion – after reporting another steep loss for the first quarter. The taxpayer bill for rescuing Fannie and its sibling Freddie Mac has grown to $145 billion – and the final tally could be much higher.

Honda jet’s delivery delayed again GREENSBORO – A Honda Motor Co. Ltd. subsidiary says initial deliveries of a lightweight private jet being built in North Carolina are now more than two years away.

Honda Aircraft Co. spokesman Stephen Keeney said Monday delays in receiving unspecified major components from suppliers will force the delay until the third quarter of 2012.

Honda Aircraft began taking sales orders for its HondaJet in 2006, with initial deliveries originally scheduled late this year. Last year, however, the Greensboro-based company said Honda’s first aircraft would be delayed until late 2011 because of supply delays.

Euro gains shrink as doubts linger NEW YORK – The euro gave back most of its big gain Monday as markets weighed the costs of a massive rescue package designed to save Europe’s shared currency.

After rising to almost $1.31 overnight, the euro drifted back to $1.2804 in late New York trading, dropping as low as $1.2764. Late Friday, the euro was worth $1.2731.

The European Union, countries using the euro and the International Monetary Fund have agreed to offer ¤750 billion, or nearly $1 trillion, in loans for heavily-indebted countries using the euro.

Moody’s may face SEC action NEW YORK – Moody’s Investors Service stock fell sharply Monday following news that the ratings company is being investigated for possibly misleading regulators three years ago.

Moody’s disclosed late Friday that it might face a Securities and Exchange Commission administrative charge that it misled regulators when it applied for its license in 2007.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

DILBERT

to be one of the most expensive aftereffects of the financial meltdown, and Fannie Mae’s first-quarter financial report on Monday made clear that there is no end in sight.

“The losses are not going to stop” soon, said Anthony Sanders, a finance professor at George Mason University, who warns that the housing market is likely to turn

sharply downward again later this year.

But because the number of bad loans made during the boom continue to rise, Fannie Mae lost $13.1 billion, or $2.29 per share, in the January-March period.

That takes into account $1.5 billion in dividends paid to the Treasury Department.

It compares with a loss of $23.2 billion, or $4.09 a share, in the year-ago period.

SEC: Exchanges agree uniform rules are needed WASHINGTON (AP) – The leaders for major securities exchanges have agreed in principle to a uniform system of “circuit breakers” that would slow trading during periods of intense market volatility, federal regulators said Monday.

The heads of the biggest exchanges “agreed on a structural framework, to be refined over the next day,” Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro said.

The agreement has been reached by leaders of six exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.

The absence of a uniform system is being looked at as a possible trigger for last week’s historic stock market plunge.

In an effort to calm Thursday’s rapid market swings, the New York Stock Exchange invoked a measure to slow trading. Some analysts believe

that drove trades onto other electronic exchanges, which didn’t slow trading.

That left fewer buyers and sellers to help set prices, potentially accelerating Thursday’s drop.

Financial regulators met with the heads of major exchanges to discuss how conflicting trading rules may have contributed to the market’s fall.

Meeting participants were weighing possible solutions to reconcile the often-conflicting rules written and enforced by different exchanges. Several exchanges, including NYSE and NASDAQ, already have circuit breakers that slow trading when stocks move too fast in either direction. Yet the trigger for those circuit breakers varies from exchange to exchange. That discrepancy can disrupt markets if some exchanges slow trading and others don’t, as happened on Thursday.

CEO says Chrysler is beating expectations DETROIT (AP) – Chrysler Group LLC says its financial performance exceeded its expectations and suggested an initial public offering could come sooner than expected.

CEO Sergio Marchionne told industry analysts Monday that if the company continues to perform at its present rate it will “blow the lid off” its previous guidance, but he said he was not yet ready to revise that forecast.

The Auburn Hills, Mich.based automaker last month reported a net loss of $197 million in the first quarter. That was smaller than its net loss of $2.7 billion in the fourth quarter.

“We are going to continue to remain cautious,” Marchionne said during a conference call on its firstquarter earnings.

Chrysler is forecasting annual revenues of $40 billion to $45 billion and an operating profit of break-even to $200 million.

Chrysler had an operating profit of $143 million in the first quarter. Chrysler also affirmed its forecast of 1.6 to 1.7 million vehicle sales this year, up from 1.3 million in 2009.

Chrysler reported revenues of $17.7 billion and a net loss of $3.8 billion for the period from June 10, when it left bankruptcy protection, to the end of 2009.

Marchionne said he hopes the company will post an operating profit every quarter going forward.

Marchionne wouldn’t give any timing for an initial public offering to help repay about $15 billion in loans from the federal government.

Stocks surge as Europe eases debt fears NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rocketed to their biggest gain in a year and bond prices fell Monday after a nearly $1 trillion plan to contain Europe’s debt crisis reassured investors.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 405 points to its biggest advance since March 2009.

Broader U.S. indexes outpaced the Dow’s 3.9 percent rise. Gains in several European markets topped 9 percent.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 3.54 percent from 3.43 percent late Friday. The drop in demand for safety holdings like Treasurys signaled that investors are less afraid that Europe’s debt problems will endanger a global recovery.

Analysts caution that countries like Greece will still need to make painful spending cuts in the coming years and that the debt problems won’t disappear any time soon.

“The market is breathing a huge sigh of relief that the EU has taken aggressive steps,” said Alan Gayle, senior investment strategist at RidgeWorth Investments in Richmond, Va. Investors drew reassurance after the Federal Reserve and other central banks stepped up with financial support to corral what analysts warned was a growing financial crisis.

Dish Network faces DVR shutdown THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FILE | AP

A McDonald’s restaurant is shown in Doral, Fla. McDonald’s Corp. said Monday a key performance measure climbed in April, as customers spent more money.

Coffee, McNuggets fuel McDonald’s sales increases CHICAGO (AP) – McDonald’s Corp.’s customers spent more money to buy everything from icy coffee drinks to chicken nuggets in April, boosting a key performance measure, the fast food chain said Monday.

Around the globe, sales in locations open at least a year rose 4.9 percent last month. In the U.S., the figure climbed 3.8 percent.

That’s slightly less than the gains made in March, but still the second-

best posting in a year for the company’s American business.

The measure is a key indicator of a restaurant chain’s performance because it excludes growth at sites that open or close during the year.

Following a lull during the recession, restaurants have seen people more willing to spend money on food outside of the home, particularly in places where they don’t have to spend much.

“McDonald’s continues to connect

with customers through our outstanding menu variety and compelling value, unbeatable convenience and contemporary restaurants,” McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner said in a statement.

In Europe, the figure climbed 5.3 percent while it rose 3.9 percent in other regions. “We remain confident that (McDonald’s) can sustain global operating momentum in the balance of 2010,” Baird analyst David Tarantino told investors in a research note.

Cheap oil slowly turning into cheaper gas the highest price since October 2008, according to AAA, Last week’s big sell-off in Wright Express and Oil oil markets is slowly making Price Information Service.

Oil prices tumbled 14 perits way to drivers in the form cent last week amid worries of cheaper gasoline prices.

Pump prices have dropped about the European debt 2.1 cents per gallon after hit- crisis, a rally in the dollar ting a national average of and the sharp sell-off on $2.928 a gallon on Thursday, Wall Street.

Many analysts who predicted that retail gasoline prices would top $3 per gallon for a short time this summer now are looking for prices to move lower or at least stabilize heading into the summer driver season.

“I think the highs are in the for the next 100 days,”

said Tom Kloza of Oil Price Information Service.

Oil prices did bounce back from last week’s sell-off after the European Union Commission and International Monetary Fund pledged a loan package of nearly $1 trillion to help resolve Europe’s debt crisis.

Dish Network Corp. reported a 26 percent drop in first-quarter net income as the satellite TV company stepped up promotions to reel in customers. Its CEO also warned the company may shut down millions of digital video recorders in a dispute with TiVo Inc. Dish CEO Charlie Ergen said Monday that he’s prepared to shut down the DVRs if a court sides with TiVo in a patent-infringement case. The alternative is to pay TiVo, a pioneer in DVR technology, licensing fees.

“The only thing we can control is to shut down boxes, so we have to, ob-

viously, if we were to lose in the court procedures,” he told analysts during a conference call on the company’s earnings.

“We’re prepared to do that. That obviously will have a material negative effect on our business.”

Sanford Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett said that 7.3 million DVRs could be affected and that the cost to replace and shut down the boxes could run close to $3 billion.

Moffett noted that $3 billion is significant given Dish’s market value of $10 billion. He also said that Dish could lose millions of customers in weeks if the DVRs were disabled.

Tyson returns to profitability in second quarter NEW YORK (AP) – Meat producer Tyson Foods Inc. returned to profitability in its second quarter on improvements in its chicken business and higher beef and pork revenue.

The company said it expects the trends to continue as demand picks up for exports and in restaurants at home.

Results beat analyst expectations, and the company said the second half of the year should be strong too

as pricing continues to improve and demand keeps increasing as people start going to restaurants and eating more meat again.

“While we did predict tightening domestic availability of protein would lead to stronger fundamentals, it happened sooner than expected,” CEO Donnie Smith said in a release.

Tyson, based in Springdale, Ark., earned $156 million, or 42 cents per share, for the three months ended April 3.
