runoffs will take place in Randolph or Davidson counties, as canvasses upheld the outcomes of their county primaries, elections officials in both counties said Tuesday. Some voters in Davidson, Guilford and Randolph counties will be able to vote in the statewide Democratic U.S. Senate primary between first-place finisher Elaine Marshall, the N.C. Secretary of State, and runner-up Cal Cunningham, a former state legislator from Lexington. Registered Democratic voters and unaffiliated voters who cast ballots in the Democratic primary are eligible to vote in the runoff.

Voters in Davidson and Guilford counties who live in the 12th Congressional District may be eligible to cast ballots if there’s a Republican runoff between challengers Scott Cumbie of Winston-Salem, the leading vote-getter, and Greg Dority of Washington, who finished second. Registered Republican voters and unaffiliated voters who cast ballots in the Republican primary can vote in the runoff. The Republican nominee will face Rep.

PUBLIC SAFETY JAMESTOWN – Gov. Beverly Perdue wants legislators to expand the collection of DNA samples to all felony arrests. Perdue used a stop Tuesday at Guilford Technical Community College to call on the General Assembly to pay for additional samples and to enact several public safety initiatives this summer. “For victims, DNA evidence can make the difference between a lifetime of suffering and wondering and closing the books on a life-changing event,” Perdue said. Perdue was joined by law enforcement officers and public safety officials, as well as state, local and community leaders. “We have also used it to get people out of jail,” High Point Police Chief Jim Fealy said later. “We do not want to prosecute the wrong people.” DNA evidence helped police last month arrest the accused killer of Perdue’s friend Kathy Taft, a member of the N.C. Board of Education. “Our law enforcement had to find him and see him throw off a cigarette to do the DNA test,” Perdue said, “which is legal.” Perdue also called for $10 million for the Criminal Justice Law Enforcement Automated Data Services (CJ LEADS) project to put all criminal records, including juvenile records, in one comprehensive system. The technology has been credited with helping law enforcement get complete suspect records. By 2011, the system will be available statewide. “This will make our communities much safer. Safe communities are a critical part of ensuring North Carolina emerges from this recession poised to be the best place in the world to live and work,” Perdue said. “We can’t create jobs or grow businesses unless folks feel safe.” The public safety package includes: • $5 million to expand the use of

approved a similar incentives package for the company, which is related to the wood products industry.

Summer Industries was awarded an incentives package of 0.0027 times the total investment in plant, machinery and equipment. “They will be adding 50,000 square feet to their building and advised me (Tuesday) of their intent to hire 20 additional employees immediately to begin training for their new expansion,” Googe said. According to its Web site, Summer Industries is the country’s largest independent manufacturer of spiral-wound tubes, cores and canisters made from 100 percent recycled paperboard. “There was never an intention of leaving,” Googe said of Summer Industries. “They have plants all over the country and they also have a plant in Kernersville. They could have put this expansion in Kernersville. We were working with them to get that expansion here.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

GUILFORD COUNTY – A $6 million school improvement grant request for Oak Hill Elementary School in High Point will be on the way to Washington, D.C. very soon. The Board of Education approved a revised threeyear grant request Tuesday by a 9-1 vote. Only board member Paul Daniels voted against the request because he wanted more information on the reform change Superintendent Mo Green made after final figures showed that just 42 percent of teachers told administrators they wanted to stay at the school. Oak Hill Elementary is one of the eight lowest performing schools in the state. The district goal is to raise the Adequate Yearly Progress score to 50 percent by the 2012-13 school year, partly by offering a longer school day and year. The change from a transformation plan to a turnaround plan means the school can avoid federal sanctions under Adequate Yearly Progress goals and “start over,” said Beth Folger, district chief academic officer. “We seem more interested in accepting the carrot and avoiding the stick,” Daniels said. On end-of-grade testing, only 24.9 percent of students were proficient in 2008 and only 29.7 percent

Achievement: District experts predict that Oak Hill Elementary has less than a 45 percent chance to make growth goals and less than a 35 percent chance to exceed a performance composite of 50 percent . were proficient in 2009. Oak Hill made expected growth and AYP progress once each in a five-year period and was facing restructuring if it did not make AYP this year. “This is not a short cut,” Folger said. Overall, the grant money will provide additional funds to provide more support for teachers, students and parents than provided by state and district appropriations. About half of the annual $2 million grant revenue would go to staff bonuses at $424,000 and supplies and materials at $600,000. An estimated $215,000 would go into a parent involvement program for supplies and contracted services. Earlier, board member Carlvena Foster of High Point also endorsed restructuring the school to help battle several chal-

lenges. There is a steady increase of students speaking English as a second language and more than 17 languages and cultures are represented with the majority of students speaking Spanish, according to the grant report. Also, 97 percent of students receive free meals. Thirty-five percent of students left the school in the 2008-09 academic year, according to earlier reports. The grant would allow the district to pay teacher recruitment and performance bonuses totaling $400,000 a year and a principal’s bonus of as much as $10,000 a year. Extending the school day by 45 minutes and the school year by 10 days would cost $325,000 a year from grant funds to pay staff for 11 months.

Bomb kills 2 American soldiers in Afghanistan KABUL – A bomb attack killed two U.S. service members in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, while Afghan officials said at least 18 militants died in a recent operation in the same region. A spokesman for U.S. forces, Col. Wayne Shanks, confirmed that the dead were Americans but declined to provide further details until family members were notified.

BAGHDAD (AP) – A flurry of attacks blamed on al-Qaida defied claims by the U.S. and Iraq that they dealt the militants a severe blow by killing their two leaders last month. Analysts say the violence – most of it against Shiite targets – is likely an attempt to re-ignite sectarian warfare, a tactic that could work if Sunnis lose faith in the political process and Iraqis once again turn to militias to protect them if the government cannot. A combination of car bombs, suicide blasts and shootings across 10 cities from the north to the south convulsed Iraq Monday and killed 119 people, the deadliest day this year. Two more bombs killed five people Tuesday in a Baghdad neighborhood that was once a stronghold of al-Qaida-linked insurgents. The attacks followed a string of victories announced by the government against the insurgents.

MEZHDURECHENSK, Russia – Thirty-eight Siberian coal miners are buried so deep in Russia’s largest underground coal mine that rescuers use up most of their oxygen tanks trying to reach them and can’t spend much time searching for the missing men, the regional governor said Tuesday. The death toll from the two explosions that hit the Raspadskaya mine in the Siberian region of Kemerovo rose to 52 and prospects of finding any survivors nearly three days after the blasts were dimming.

Who are they? How did they earn a state pension? So let me get this straight. At least 260 people who allegedly worked for the state government each receives at least $100,000 a year, but no one in the public can learn how they qualified for these pensions. The state treasurer, Janet Cowell, refuses to release this information, she says, because of personnel privacy laws. I thought that “public servants’’ worked for the people. If that is true, then shouldn’t we know how much money they make and who they are? Do they work for us, or do we work for them? Secret government is bad government. CHUCK MANN Greensboro

Perhaps it’s telling that the seven House and Senate members are all Republicans.

tah Sen. Robert Bennett’s failure on Saturday to secure his party’s nomination to fill another term reveals many truisms beginning to form during this election cycle. Some are accurate, but others are more a reflection of the sitting senator and his own failings than some political juggernaut movement bending conservative candidates to its every whim. Clearly, there is a deep and smoldering anti-incumbent mood swirling around the country. Frustration by the body politic is normal and even expected, particularly at a time when the economy is still barely recovering, and a president who promised so much has done so little to salve the nation’s woes. To enumerate the current situation, public approval ratings of Congress on the whole hover around 23 percent. That’s lower than the historic average of 34 percent. Yet the fomenting sentiment rampant today represents more than frustration. This is anger. Surprisingly, those who are the most angry today are also some of the best organized. The national Tea Party movement is claiming credit for Bennett’s ousting and leveraging the defeat to send a political message to other elected officials and their “soft” positions. As Brendan Steinhauser of the group told the Washington Post following the defeat, “[The Tea Party] is the center of American politics. It’s everything that we’ve been saying it is. It’s not just a protest movement; it’s a political force.” In many respects, Steinhauser is right. They deserve the lion’s share of the credit. Yet it’s not entirely accurate to suggest the movement single-handedly burned out Bennett’s career. He was covered in flammable liquid already; the Tea Party just lit the match. Bob Bennett’s troubles started years ago when he broke his own campaign pledge to term-limit himself and not seek re-election beyond two elections. Bennett went on to win a third, and that’s where he started to get cozy in his Senate digs. The senator sat on the powerful Appropriations Committee – a spending panel. He had the keys to the federal treasury, and to many Utah voters, was viewed as part of the problem. I can’t recall his sponsoring any deficit reduction laws to counter that perception. To me, that was the threshold question voters asked themselves, “This country is headed to hell in a hand basket, and what’s Bob Bennett doing to stop it? Is he at least trying?” Sure, Bennett earned a respectable 93 percent approval rating among Republican primary voters and garnered similar high

rankings among conservative watchdog groups throughout his career. But what did he do with his position? Did he lead in any way? Or was he simply marking time? Perhaps Bennett deluded himself into thinking he was OPINION OK by just showing up to work every day and waving Armstrong the conservative banner with Williams feigned righteousness. His comments Saturday perhaps betrayed that behavior: “Looking back on [the votes I cast], with one or two very minor exceptions,” recalled the senator, “I wouldn’t have cast them any differently even if I’d known at the time it would cost me my career.” That attitude was the last straw to Utah voters. And it should signal to other Republican incumbents that the most important notion of “public service” rests in that second word – “service.” We have enough loafers sitting around their government desks, getting fat off the taxpayer dime. By God, we don’t need any more on Capitol Hill doing the same. Be careful of how Democrats choose to spin this tale. DNC Chairman Tim Kaine and his liberal comrades want non-aligned voters to see Bennett’s loss as part of a conspiratorial intifada. “That the Tea Party would consider Bob Bennett – one of the most conservative members of the U.S. Senate,” Kaine said on Saturday, “too liberal just goes to show how extreme the Tea Party is. If there was any question before, there should now be no doubt that the Republican leadership has handed the reins to the Tea Party.” Kaine says what he needs to as party head, even though he knows better. Bennett’s loss began and ended with Bob Bennett. If he was savvy enough, he and his handlers could have prevented this loss back in 2007 and 2008. The lesson of Salt Lake wasn’t so much that the Tea Party is a force to be reckoned with. We knew that in the wake of New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts. No, the lesson of Salt Lake is: “Don’t take your elected position for granted. To whom much is given, much is required.” Voters today want action, not sound bites, and they’re willing to oust any incumbent, no matter his legacy, to uncover it.

Utah senator’s political troubles began sometime back

Ethics code needs censure U provision olitics could play a role,” Steve Arnold said, arguing against including a non-binding censure provision in the ethics code the Guilford County Board of Commissioners approved last week. “It could happen from either side. You will have feuds, and a commissioner will say he is going to censure his enemy. That becomes a circus.” When the General Assembly adopted a law requiring all governing bodies to adopt an ethics code by Jan. 1, 2011, it did not require a censure process and, according to County Attorney Mark Payne, it would take a two-thirds “super majority” of commissioners to hold a censure hearing following investigation of a complaint. Let’s clear the air: Politics plays a role in almost everything Guilford County commissioners do, anger often overflows and feuds occasionally develop among board members. And, yes, during one of those feuds, one commissioner may attempt to censure another. At times, commissioner activity may be so grievous that it requires censure, or at least the threat of censure, to cure the ailment. We agree with Commissioner Bruce Davis who said, “The censure adds teeth.” If the penalty for violating the ethics policy has no teeth, the policy “is not worth the paper it is written on.”

we only see on old postcards. And what happens when these retail businesses find they cannot afford to purchase land downtown and demolish standing buildings to build anew? High Point becomes even more of a ghost town than it already is downtown. The mall itself is in pretty good shape and would be a step up for many of the furniture wholesalers, compared to the wasteland that is downtown. RANDALL M. HEDRICK High Point

do not have the words to describe how much it means to me to know that so many people believed in me and the conservative message. I know that many of them are disappointed with the results, as I am. And many of them are confused as to the outcome of the election. But let me remind all that a political machine was formed to keep any known conservative from being elected to the Davidson County Board of Commissioners. Even with all their power, clout and money, they were only able to defeat the conservative message by a mere 104 votes! I ask that my supporters stay strong in the conservative movement, as we have united. A loud and clear message has been sent and we will never give up! I also wish to close by saying that all the kindness and friendship shown to Robin and I will never be forgotten as it touched our hearts. God bless all and Davidson County! LARRY ALLEN Lexington

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Two people from Randolph County face charges in separate cases involving investigations into the illegal trade of child pornography on the Internet. On April 21, Randolph County Sheriff’s Office detectives executed a search warrant at a N. Fayetteville Street apartment in Asheboro. A search of the residence led to the seizure of one desktop computer, two laptop computers and multiple forms of electronic media. Since seizing the equipment, detectives have located digital files with suspected child pornography on the computers, which led to the arrest of Donald Ray Dickens on Monday, according to the sheriff’s office. Dickens, 49, was charged with 34 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, deputies said. He was booked into the Randolph County Jail under a $250,000 bond. The second case stems from a search warrant executed at a Holly Oak Drive residence in Randleman on April 27, where detectives conducted a similar investigation. Three desktop computers and other forms of electronic media were seized. A search of the items revealed nine electronic images and videos depicting suspected child pornography, according to the sheriff’s office. Richard Shane Silcox, 32, was charged with nine counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, and was arrested Monday, deputies said. He was booked into the Randolph County Jail under a $25,000 bond. Both cases were investigated under the auspices of the Piedmont Triad Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, a multi-county law enforcement group that was established with a federal grant to target Internet-based child pornography cases and similar types of offenses. The grant provided equipment and training for undercover deputies posing as minors and other investigative techniques. Deputies said the task force is still actively investigating both cases. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – The first drinking water could begin flowing this summer to taps across the Triad from the Randleman Regional Reservoir as work crews put finishing touches on a water treatment plant, pumps and 30 miles of pipelines. In two weeks, officials with the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority could start testing massive pumps that will propel drinking water from the lake in Randolph County to customers across the county and in five Piedmont municipalities. The last step involves completion of the water treatment plant along Adams Farm Road near the public access entrance for the lake off of U.S. 220 near Randleman. The lake, seven decades in the making, should become a drinking water source that would make the Piedmont less susceptible to the impact of droughts, which in the recent past have taxed supplies and prompted water use restrictions. State regulators still must sign off before the authority can begin pumping water, said authority Chairman Charles Jones of Jamestown. But if state officials provide their approval in a timely fashion, water could begin flowing to customers by the end of July to middle of August, authority Executive Director John Kime told the board of directors at their meeting Tuesday. Certain tests of the plant, pumps

This is the main building of the treatment facility and will contain the filtration rooms, chemical storage and other facilities to purify the water. Administrative offices will also be located here. and sections of pipelines could involve up to 4.5 million to 5 million gallons of water at a time, Kime said. The tests not only ensure that the equipment works properly, but that the water moved through the delivery system meets quality standards. The impending opening of the treatment plant will have a dramatic effect on the upcoming fiscal year budget of the authority. Total expenses for the 2010-11 fiscal year beginning July 1 are projected at $7 million, nearly three times the $2.5 million in expenses for the current fiscal year. Grand total revenue for the upcoming fiscal year is anticipated at $7.2 million, including $3.7 million in water sales, the authority reports. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

RALEIGH (AP) – Senate Democrats will propose neither experience-based pay raises to schoolteachers nor a bonus for all state employees to pay them back for last year’s furloughs like those the governor sought in her budget plan, chamber leaders said Tuesday. Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue asked lawmakers to give an average 1.8 percent increase for public school teachers based on years of longevity that was suspended last year due to the bad economy. She also wanted to give state workers and teachers an amount equal to 0.5 percent of their salaries. But the Senate’s top leaders are aiming next week to pass their proposed adjustments to the second year of the twoyear budget that begins July 1. They say it’s hard to justify any pay increases when the unemployment rate is so high in the private sector. “People are losing jobs or seeing reductions in the time that they’re allowed to work,� Senate leader Marc Basnight, D-Dare, told reporters on the eve of the opening of the General Assembly’s short session. “You cannot give raises in that climate.� As for the bonus, the state’s 170,000 state employees and teachers were forced to take the 0.5 percent pay cut in May and June 2009 so Perdue could find extra to close a budget shortfall that ballooned to more than $3 billion.

Town manager resigns after his arrest WEST JEFFERSON (AP) – A northwestern North Carolina town manager has resigned following his arrest on several charges, including driving while impaired. The Winston-Salem Journal reports that West Jefferson town manager Greg McGinnis submitted his resignation on May 4, and Mayor Dale Hudler announced it on Monday night. The board of aldermen voted 5-0 to accept it. Town finance manager Brantley Price was appointed interim town manager. McGinnis was arrested April 27. The state Highway Patrol says the townowned car McGinnis was driving hit a utility pole. He was charged with DWI, hit and run, failure to stop for property damage and carrying a concealed gun. McGinnis has a July 29 court date. A court clerk didn’t know if he has an attorney, and a phone message left at his home was not immediately returned Tuesday.

Pecan pie takes the cake at events large and small

D

ear Abby: Years ago you published your recipe for Abby’s Famous Pecan Pie. I cut it out and made it often because it was the best pecan pie I ever tasted. Somehow I have misplaced my recipe. I have come across other ones, but not yours. Would you be so kind as to reprint it in your column? I have committed to bringing a couple of pies to an upcoming event. It would mean a lot to me to be able to use it again. I know everyone who tastes it will agree that it’s the best they have ever eaten. – Ruby in Lakewood, Wash. Dear Ruby: I have no doubt that they will. Years ago, a male reader informed me that a festival had been held in his community, part of which was a pie baking contest. “To the delight of my wife and friends,� he wrote, “and the chagrin of the other contestants – all women – I took first prize.� The recipe he had used was one my mother, Pauline Phillips, had

printed in this column. My mother had a notorious sweet tooth and ADVICE had discovered the Dear pie while Abby a guest at ■■■the Phoenix Hotel in Lexington, Ky. (The hotel has since been demolished.) The recipe had been created by the hotel’s pastry chef, who kindly shared it with her. Because one good turn deserves another – here it is:

Abby’s Famous Pecan Pie 9-inch unbaked pie crust 1 cup light corn syrup 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 3 eggs, slightly beaten 1⠄3 cup butter melted 1⠄2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 heaping cup pecan halves Heat oven to 350 de-

grees. In a large bowl, combine corn syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, salt and vanilla; mix well. Pour into unbaked pie crust; sprinkle with pecan halves. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until center is set. (Toothpick inserted in center will come out clean when pie is done.) If the crust or pie appears to be getting too brown, cover with foil for the remaining baking time. Cool. You can top with a bit of whipped cream, but even plain, nothing tops this! Tip: The original recipe stated that the pie should be baked 45 to 50 minutes in a preheated 350-degree gas oven. If an electric oven is used, it may be necessary to add 15 to 20 minutes to the baking time. (Begin testing the pie with a toothpick after 45 minutes.) Enjoy!

Young couple’s kindness appreciated

uestion: Help. Over the years my lawn seems to have been taken over by moss. I would like to reclaim the lawn, can I still do this?

I just wanted to tell a very nice young couple that I appreciate their random act of kindness shown to me last week. I was having a late breakfast at Carolina Diner on Eastchester Drive when I received a very nice surprise. I finished my meal and took my ticket to the register to pay and was told that my meal had already been paid off. I asked by whom, and was told that it was the young couple that had just left. I don’t know who you are but I just hope that you are reading this. I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how much your random act of kindness was appreciated. JUDITH M. ENGLISH Archdale

Q

Answer: I am actually partial to moss and have seen several wonderful shady landscapes where different varieties of moss have been used to create the ground cover. In shady areas it might be your best choice. It is green, drought tolerant and you don’t have to mow it. Moss is generally caused by compacted soil, acid soil, soils that stay too wet, too much shade or improper fertilization. It can be any one of these or a combination. You can use any of the commercially available moss and algae control products to kill the moss, but unless you correct the reason it was growing in the first place, the moss will return. Ferrous ammonium sulfate is the material most often contained in such products, and it will turn moss black in a short period of time. Once it has turned black, rake it out of the grass.

Once the moss has been eliminated, it is time to correct the soil condition that caused it to flourish. Through a process of elimination you can determine which of these conditions is responsible and then work at correcting it. It is important to understand that until the cause is eliminated, moss will continue to grow in the affected area. The first thing I would evaluate is shade. If you have more than 50 percent shade, I probably would not recommend you grow grass in this area but create a natural area and plant shade tolerant plants and/or use a ground cover for shade. In some cases, lower limbs on trees can be removed to allow in more light, but if there is still quite a bit of shade look, for shade blended seed mixes. If the problem is compacted, poorly drained soil, it is a good idea to till the lawn area. This would best be done in the fall, when you can then proceed with over-seeding. This will allow for better air circulation and will permit water and nutrients to get down into

the soil, where they can do some good. It is best if you can loosen the soil to a depth of 6 inches so you can start to get a nice deep root system on the grass. Next, I would recommend a soil test to determine if the pH is off. Our clay soils tend to be acid by nature, and you may need to add a considerable amount of lime. Soil test kits are available at many local garden centers or at the Extension Office. Your soil test results will also tell you the right type of fertilizers to use, and this will help if a

nutritional problem has been identified. Once you have solved the cause of the moss in your lawn, the grass should be much easier to maintain. Arrange a regular schedule for mowing and be sure the mower is set at the correct height. Fescue lawns should be cut at the highest setting on the lawn mower, usually about 3 inches or so in height. Be sure to provide sufficient water dur-

ing the dry season and undertake insect or disease control if either becomes necessary. MASTER GARDENERS will answer questions on horticultural topics. Karen C. Neill, an urban horticulture extension agent, can be contacted at the N.C.

Is there help out there? – R.W. R.W., I understand your consternation, but hasn’t this been going on for 10 years? Why would you want to change now? If it’s something that’s greatly disturbing you, I’m sure a mental-health professional can get to the bottom of it with you and desensitize you. We make illnesses out of things that really don’t qualify as illnesses. That’s not a rational thing to do. What you describe upsets most people. Unless your reactions to it are disrupting your mental equilibrium and affecting your life, I wouldn’t pursue the issue. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is it possible that, when an eye is scratched during cataract surgery, a person could get wet macular degeneration? Your comments will be greatly appreciated. – J.C. Rarely can a definite “no” be given to a medical question. It can here. A scratched eye doesn’t bring on wet macular degeneration. Wet macular degeneration comes from the sprouting of fragile blood vessels on the eye’s retina. These vessels leak fluid and blood – the “wet” of wet macular degeneration. It’s the lesscommon kind of macular degeneration, accounting for only about 10 percent of cases. The loss of fluid and blood from these new vessels is the cause of vision loss.

Library hosts local ‘heritage fair’ BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – For those who love digging up roots – genealogical and historical roots, that is – the High Point Public Library is the place to be Saturday. The library’s Heritage Research Center will host GenFest 2010, a local heritage fair featuring research experts, genealogical and historical organizations, museums and local history authors, among other guests. “The primary purpose is to get different organizations that relate to family and local history or local culture together, where the public can see what they have to offer and talk with

them about how to go about doing research,” says Jackie Hedstrom, supervisor of the Heritage Research Center. This marks the third year the library has hosted GenFest, and the previous two events drew a large number of attendees, according to Hedstrom. “I suspect we’ll have even more this year, because it’s going to be a lot bigger,” she says. “We have about 50 vendors this year, and we’ve only had about 20 in the past.” A number of historical groups will be represented at the event, such as the Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the Confederacy, Sons of the Revolutionary War, and the Mayflower Society.

Genealogical societies from Guilford, Randolph, Forsyth, Davidson, Mecklenberg, Durham and Orange counties will also be represented at GenFest. Local history authors such as Mary Browning, who has written several books related to the history of Jamestown, will be available to discuss their published works. There will also be food vendors on hand, as well as artists, craftspeople and musicians. “This event is mostly related to family and local history, for people who are interested in those things,” Hedstrom says. “We think it’s going to be a fun event.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Pondless water feature in Beth Hutchens’ backyard allows her and her family to keep alive the memory of Winston-Salem police officer Mickey Hutchens.

Place of reflection Companies donate water memorial to fallen police officer’s widow BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

T

HOMASVILLE – As a former High Point police officer, Alan Koontz understands the perils of law enforcement, as well as the special strength required to be a law enforcement officer’s family. That’s why Koontz, the owner of Thomasville-based Carolina Pondscapes, recently agreed to help create a memorial garden at the home of the late Sgt. Mickey Hutchens, a Winston-Salem police officer who was shot to death last October while pursuing a suspect. “We were all horrified by the events of that day, and I – not just as a company or former officer, but as a human being – want to give back something that the family can enjoy each day, to put a shining light on the memories of Sgt. Hutchens and the love and kindness that he gave to his family and everyone he touched,” Koontz says. Working with Majestic Gardens, a

creative landscaping company in Winston-Salem – and other contractors – Carolina Pondscapes spent about three days installing a pondless water feature and surrounding landscaping

’We hope this memorial ... will serve as a glowing and eternal reminder of his life and his passion to help others.’ Alan Koontz Carolina Pondscapes features in the backyard of Hutchens’ widow, Beth. Officers from the Winston-Salem Police Department also volunteered their time to assist with the installa-

tion, according to Koontz. The water feature installed differs slightly from a water garden, which typically has plants and aquatic life, including fish, Koontz says. “This is a pondless water feature,” he says. “You get the aesthetics – the sound and the movement. People who get this don’t care about having fish, but they want to hear the soothing sounds of the water. It’s very relaxing.” According to Koontz, the water feature will be a great place for Beth Hutchens to come and reflect on the memory of her husband. She was so pleased with the final project that she offered to pay for it, Koontz adds, but her offer was rejected. The project was not for profit, Koontz says, but was solely to honor the memory of Mickey Hutchens for his family. “We hope this memorial ... will serve as a glowing and eternal reminder of his life and his passion to help others,” Koontz says.

A friend entered the club lounge grousing about his luck in a money game. “There may be justice for all,” he said, “but it doesn’t seem to be evenly distributed. I held bad cards, and my opponents bid and made a string of cold games.” I had watched today’s deal. When the complainer was West, he led the king of diamonds against four hearts, and when East signaled high, West led another diamond. East won and led a third diamond, and South ruffed in his hand, winning. He led a trump to the ten, returned a spade to his ace, forced out West’s ace of trumps and took the rest. Making four. BAD LUCK When you’re having a streak of bad luck, all you can do is treat every deal as a new problem and focus on producing your best effort. West didn’t. At Trick Two he must cash the ace of trumps. He then leads a second diamond, and when East leads a third diamond, West scores his nine of trumps. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it, how many other games “unlucky” West

ANSWER: This auction may become competitive, and since you have enough values to bid twice, you must plan ahead. Respond one spade. If, for example, the opening bidder rebids two clubs and two passes follow, you’ll try two hearts and play at the level of two at the major suit your partner prefers. North dealer N-S vulnerable

A creative project will allow you to produce some of your best work. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A change of plans can lead to uncertainty if you haven’t done your homework or aren’t prepared to adapt to challenges. Someone will disrupt your home or personal life, adding to your responsibilities. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make positive changes at home and you will be the hero. You can outmaneuver anyone you come up against, turning whatever you face into a winning situation for you and your family. Something you enjoy doing can turn into an enterprising venture. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you let your heart interfere with your money-making ideas, every penny you earn will slip through your fingers. A love interest will be impressed if you show stability and the desire to obtain a secure future. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t make hasty decisions regarding affairs of the heart. You will disrupt your home life if you are distant or neglectful. Once you are clear about what needs to be done, get on with your plans so you can move into a better situation. ★★★ 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.

It’s not polite Ring-tailed lemurs huddle next to a man-made baobab tree recently at Expedition Madagascar, a new exhibit at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Neb. Apparently this group hasn’t heard it’s not polite to stare.

If the Substitute Trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without knowledge of the Substitute Trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the Substitute Trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the Court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy. This 28th day of April, 2010. Jennifer L. Vaden, Substitute Trustee, 330 S.

Win for the Wildcats

WHO’S NEWS

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

SOUTHERN PINES – The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat clashed for Westchester Country Day School’s golfers at the end of the day. Victory won out at Talamore Golf Resort: That trophy for the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A Championship was, after all, a mighty big prize in and of itself. “The team title can only happen once,” Jonathan DiIanni reasoned. “But I can win this next year.” DiIanni felt the wave of emotions most acutely. Knowing he needed a birdie on his final hole to have a shot at the individual championship, he escaped trouble in the trees with a perfect approach and drained a 10-foot birdie putt. He signed for his round of 75 on the par-71 layout. The sophomore and his teammates learned that they’d cruised to the school’s firstever golf championship. And then DiIanni and Gaston Day School eighth-grader Archer Price headed to the first hole for a playoff. Both carded scores of 148 in regulation, but Price drained a two-foot putt for par on the first extra hole after DiIanni missed his 10-footer. It was a long, solemn walk back to the clubhouse, but DiIanni and his senior brother Will (76-74–150, third overall) earned all-state honors for the second year in a row. Westchester also got counting scores from senior Andrew Bauer (76-81–157) and seventh-

SPECIAL

Westchester Country Day School’s golf team celebrates its N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A championship on Tuesday at Talamore Golf Resort in Southern Pines. grader Thomas Walsh (79-81–160) in recording totals of 304-311–615. “This year we had a shot because we had not just four solid golfers, but seven,” explained Bauer, whose 76 was the best of his high school career in a competitive round. “This year we were destined because we had so much talent in so many places that we could put together consistent rounds easily.”

Worries of a second-day rally by contenders Kerr-Vance and Arendell Parrott academies proved unfounded. Kerr-Vance had been 16 shots down after the first round and finished in second at 629. Parrott carded rounds of 319-312 to take third at 631. Despite ending up with a 14shot win, Wildcats coach Adam Schwartz spent a nervous day walking the course.

“I’m just really proud of the fight and dealing with the nerves,” said Schwartz, in his 10th year overall coaching golf at the school and fourth with the varsity. “For them to be able to overcome a rocky start and to compete against two great teams in Parrott and KerrVance – it is an unbelievable feat for those guys.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Rain dampens Hall of Fame spirit A

fter the governor and mayor and politicians and dignitaries and officials made their welcoming remarks, drops of moisture started falling from the sky. It wasn’t the only rain that fell on NASCAR’s parade Tuesday as its Hall of Fame opened in Charlotte. The grand opening ceremonies were a bit soggy in other ways at times. Governor Beverly Perdue gave one of those speeches that misses the mark when a politician talks about a subject out of the usual political realm. Fans traveled from across the country to be among those who attended on the first day. But the lines that jammed the doors at the start dissipated by afternoon. The opening was one of those ribbon-cutting type ceremonies without the ribbons. Outside of some fireworks and streamers, there was little flash. What served as the big crescendo came when Richard Petty and Junior Johnson, both of whom will be inducted into the Hall a week from Sunday, made their ceremony-capping entrances to a stage on which sat the dignitaries and former champions from NASCAR’s three national series. Petty drove one of his red-andblue No. 43 Dodges from the 1970s

toward the platform while leading Johnson, who was at the wheel of Ford coupe. “We’ve got in underneath the flag again,” Petty said SPORTS of getting to the stage as the rain Greer fell. Smith Johnson had ■■■ the most touching moment of the ceremony, remarking that being chosen as a member of the Hall’s first class was the biggest honor in his life. “To go in there with Richard and Dale Earnhardt and the Frances (NASCAR founder Bill Sr. and his son Bill), it’s kind of hard to explain what they means to me,” Johnson said. With that the command to open the door was given and fans began their tours, ending a race that began five years ago when Tim Newman, the head of the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority, suggested to then-Duke Power executive Winston Kelley that they talk to NASCAR about Charlotte submitting a bid for the Hall. “When we got through, Winston said that we had a pretty big bus out there and what were we going to do if we caught it,” Newman said.

Charlotte caught the bus by outbidding Kansas City, Atlanta, Richmond and NASCAR’s home in Daytona Beach. It is a bus that turned into a complex that not only includes a NASCAR office tower, television studios, a convention center and a garage We had a lot of interest, “France said. “In the end, the city figured out it had all the assets of the motorsports industry and they were able to pull all of that together. Because Charlotte had other things plus their competitive bid, that was the clincher. ... This is big.” Big enough that Perdue was there to give her remarks that led to references to how vital stock-car racing is to the state’s economy. “This is the Hall of Fame for NASCAR,” Petty said. “You can be in the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame or an International Hall of Fame and it is neat to be recognized there. But when you are recognized by your own peers, it is special.” Petty should know, being in North Carolina’s sports hall and the International Motorsports Hall in Alabama and the stockcar racing Hall at Darlington. “This has a little something for everybody,” Petty said. “The first and second floor is more of what fans know today. You got

to the third floor and there is the history. It jogs my memory of this or that or makes me remember getting caught with that piece over there. It rejuvenates me and gives the new fans an idea of what we’ve been able to accomplish.” Added Richard Childress, who donated two cars driven by Earnhardt: “A lot of fans are new and don’t realize the pioneers and the history of where the sport has come from. The neatness thing about the Hall of Fame is that it makes the fans understand how we got the sport to where it is today. The opening day caused wealthy team owner and auto dealer Rick Hendrick to revert to a fan, thinking back to the days that he pulled for 1960 champion Rex White, even though he served as honorary chairman of the committee that helped bring the Hall to Charlotte. “I’m a big memorabilia nut,” Hendrick said. “I collect more junk than you would believe. But to walk through here and see cars that I watched race or drivers that I idolized is special to me as a fan. I was overwhelmed by this.” Many of the artifacts and the facilities interactive displays are impressive. For the Hall to be successful, it has to remain more overwhelming than the opening ceremonies. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HIT AND RUN

R

ichard Petty is accustomed to having cars in museums, not counting his in Randleman. The Pontiac in which he won the last of his record 200 victories has been on display in the Smithsonian. The 1967 Plymouth in which he won a season-record 27 times and a record 10 in a row was in the stock-car racing Hall of Fame in Darlington for a period of time before going back to the Petty showplace. Now, it is on loan to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in its Glory Road exhibit. “They asked which car we would like to put in there,” Petty said. “We’re associated

with the Superbird (the high wing car of the early 1970s) but we really didn’t do much with it. So, we settled on the ’67 Plymouth because that was the car that broke Richard Petty from out of the pack.” It’s not the only Petty car on display. The Oldsmobile in which his father Lee won the first Daytona 500 in 1959 is also on Glory Road. Another of Petty’s No. 43 cars will be unveiled in the Hall of Honor section when he is inducted as part of the first class a week from Sunday. There’s plenty more Petty memorabilia on display, one of the more striking being the inner workings of a driving suit that kept

Petty’s temperature from rising by circulating cold water through a series of tubes. None of the stuff currently on exhibit compares to the pride that Petty says he will enjoy when another item that he will loan goes on display. “It is a big deal to have some of our cars in here,” Petty said. “I think at some point they are going to put my Medal of Freedom in here. I think that will be the biggest thing to me.” And now we know what really matters the most to The King.

Tom Glavine thought of his rocky first full season with the Atlanta Braves when the team announced Tuesday it will retire his number. Glavine’s highlights with the Braves included two NL Cy Young awards and the decisive win over the Cleveland Indians in the 1995 World Series. Before he enjoyed five seasons with 20 or more wins with Atlanta, Glavine went 7-17 in 1988. He says at that point there was no way he could know his No. 47 would one day be retired by the team. “It’s not something you ever envisioned and not something I ever envisioned, certainly with the way my career started in Atlanta,” Glavine told The Associated Press. The Braves will induct Glavine into the team’s Hall of Fame and retire his number on Aug. 6 before a home game against the San Francisco Giants. Glavine ranks 21st all-time with 305 wins, including 244 with the Braves. He spent five years with the New York Mets from 200307 but played most of his career with manager Bobby Cox and pitching coach Leo Mazzone.

The world’s No. 2-ranked player skipped the event a year ago but will be making his 11th appearance in the tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club, which runs from June 3-6. Mickelson has two top-10 finishes in his previous trips to the Memorial. The addition of Mickelson gives the tournament nine of the top 10 money-winners on the PGA Tour. Tiger Woods, a four-time winner of the Memorial, has yet to commit to this year’s event after withdrawing from The Players Championship last week with a neck injury. Tim Clark, who won The Players Championship, also said he’ll play the Memorial.

Charlotte gets transfer Mayfield from Georgia CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Charlotte 49ers have added backcourt depth with the addition of Georgia transfer DeMario Mayfield. New coach Alan Major announced the 6-foot-5 guard’s addition on Tuesday. The Royston, Ga., native will sit out next season and be eligible in the 2011-12 season. Mayfield was the Georgia Class AAA player of the year in 2009 after averaging nearly 24 points a game for Franklin County High School. But he played in only 18 games for the Bulldogs last season and averaged less than a point and a rebound per game. Mayfield is Major’s first addition since being hired last month to replace the fired Bobby Lutz.

Bishop, Johnson take second – again BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

SOUTHERN PINES – Stanhope Johnson followed his beautiful approach onto the 18th green with an equally beautiful putt. As the ball tracked into the cup from eight feet away, he turned to his teammates gathered by the green at Longleaf Golf and Country Club, expecting – hoping – to hear a roar of approval. The muted clapping he got instead spoke volumes. “Coach told me to birdie the hole and I drained it: small applause,” Johnson said. “I was hoping they were jumping

up and down and I was going to get a big fist pump. It happens.” It happened to Bishop McGuinness – and Johnson – for the second straight year. Second place in the N.C. High School Athletic Association 1A Championship, and second place in the standings for medalist honors. This year, the Villains owned a oneshot lead entering Tuesday’s second round, but saw West Montgomery roar back with a 300 in the finale. West finished at 312-300–612 to Bishop’s consistent 311-310–621. “You hear at the start of the year you’re going to be second, it doesn’t sound too bad. But when you have the

lead the night before the final day...” Villains coach Pearse Mahon said. “My guys shot the same score as yesterday as a team. West Montgomery just came and beat us. It wasn’t down to bad play from us. They just beat us. They won it the right way.” Senior Greg Bunner of Gastonia’s Highland Tech finished at 73-69–142 for his second straight individual championship. Johnson’s big finish – he birdied three of the last four holes on the par-71, 6,543-yard layout – put him at 75-70–145, two shots ahead of the thirdplace group. “I came in second last year – lost to the same guy – but I’m not too down. He’s a

senior, I’m a sophomore,” Johnson reasoned. “I’m ready to get a ring.” Plenty of talent returns for the Villains. Senior Mark Sowinski, who tied for sixth in the state at 75-78–153, is one of two seniors leaving. Corey Mack was an alternate and played one round for Bishop in the state tournament. The returning group includes William Whitacre (84-78–162), Daniel Barrett (8084–164) and Brian Sowinski (81-86–167), plus John Ruggiero, the other alternate. Highland Tech finished third, seven shots behind the Villains. No other school in the 12-team field was within 35 shots of the leader. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

RALEIGH (AP) – N.C. State forward Tracy Smith has withdrawn from the NBA draft and will return to the Wolfpack for his senior season. Smith had declared himself eligible for the draft, but he didn’t hire an agent and had until Saturday to pull his name and retain his eligibility. Smith’s return is big news for coach Sidney Lowe. Smith led the Wolfpack with 16.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game last season, which made him a second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference pick. With Smith back and a top-five national recruiting class, the Wolfpack looks poised for a strong run in Lowe’s fifth season.

Guilford golfers stand fifth in NCAA play SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HERSEY, Pa. – Guilford College’s men’s golf team shot a 15-overpar 303 Tuesday and sits in fifth place behind leader Skidmore College (295) after the first of four rounds at the 37-team NCAA Division III Golf Championships at the Hershey Country Club and the Hershey Links. The Quakers trail neighboring Greensboro College (301) by two shots and have a one-shot lead over sixth-place Central College (304) and the University of Wisconsin-Stout (304). All of the schools played through rainy and chilly conditions for most of the day. The start of the opening round was delayed 80 minutes due to frost. Each of the top-seven teams played their opening rounds at the Hershey Links Course. Methodist University, Division III’s topranked team, had the low round (307) on the Hershey Country Club’s East Course and sits in a share of eighth place. The teams will switch courses today and the schools with the low 24 scores will advance to the tourney’s third and fourth rounds. Four Guilford students stand among the top-50 competitors after 18 holes. Senior Brian Creghan shot one-overpar 73 and shares sixth place among the 190 individual competitors.

Hendrick expresses frustration with Gordon, Johnson Johnson went to prison for his part in the family’s moonshining operation and was later pardoned. “I had it out in the middle of the floor where I work on my tractors,� Johnson said. “People would come by and say they wouldn’t have it out there where everyone could see it. But (getting caught) in the whiskey business now is basically like (getting) a speeding ticket. If a guy writes you up for whiskey now, he might get laughed at.�

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HALL OF FAME NOTEBOOK: Rick Hendrick let it slip Tuesday on how frustrated he became with Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson over their scrape on the track last month that included Gordon banging past Johnson at Texas followed by Johnson blocking Gordon at Talladega. When someone joked, in reference to Denny Hamlin’s winning streak despite a knee injury, that Hendrick might consider knee surgery for Gordon to help end his losing streak, Hendrick shot back that “he’s lucky he didn’t have to go to the hospital to have my foot removed from his (backside).� Hendrick then modified the comment to say that his feelings applied to Johnson as well as Gordon.

TOUTING CHARLOTTE

AP

Team owner Rick Hendrick speaks during the opening ceremonies of the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte on Tuesday.

INDUCTION DUTIES Richard Childress said he will give a speech as part of Dale Earnhardt’s induction into the Hall of Fame a week from Sunday. Earnhardt won six championships driving for Childress, who has provided the Hall with two of Earnhardt’s cars. “It will be challenging for me but we’ll get through it,� Childress said. “I’m going to tell two or three stories

about Dale. It’s going to be good.� Childress said Earnhardt “would have been very humbled by being the first inductee into it. He would be very proud because there is some stuff of his dad’s in there and his son Dale Jr. will be in there someday.� Richard Petty said he will be introduced by son Kyle but that he hasn’t worked on his speech.

Junior Johnson (another of the inductees) and I joked that we should write one for each other.�

STILL TALK Johnson said that the whiskey still that he provided the hall was in a shop on his farm in Yadkin County. The still is the feature in a display noting the sports’ bootlegging roots.

NASCAR moved its Cup awards banquet from New York to Las Vegas just last season. With the new Hall of Fame open in conjunction with the adjoining convention center, Hendrick thinks the festivities would now do well in Charlotte. “I can think of all the neat things we could do if we had the champion here and we did a parade and let the fans be a big part of it,� Hendrick said. “I can see the search lights and the red carpet. I can see a gala where we can have all the old champions also. “I think there would be so much energy here between the (race) teams and the city and the Hall of Fame.� gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Agent: Dead LPGA golfer was packed for tournament LAS VEGAS (AP) – LPGA golfer Erica Blasberg had her bags packed for a tournament in Alabama when she died suddenly at her home in suburban Henderson, her agent said Tuesday. Police aren’t saying how she died. Blasberg was scheduled to leave last Sunday to play a qualification round on Monday for the Bell Micro LPGA Classic in Mobile, said the agent, Chase Callahan, who is based in Irvine, Calif. Callahan and Blasberg’s parents, Mel and Debbie Blasberg, of Corona, Calif., began planning Tuesday for a memorial service in her hometown amid questions about Blasberg’s death Sunday in her home about 15 miles southeast of

the Las Vegas Strip. “We don’t know yet who, what or why,� Callahan said, calling Blasberg’s death “tragic for her family, the people of Corona, Blasberg and the people who knew her.� “Police haven’t given her family or me any indication of anything,� said Callahan, who noted that Blasberg’s father was also her golf coach. “For Mr. and Mrs. Blasberg, her taking her own life is not something that’s in the details that they know right now,� Callahan said. “This is someone whose career was as important to her as her family.

She was 25. She hadn’t reached her peak yet,� he said. Blasberg was found dead about 3 p.m. Sunday after police responded to a 911 call from the two-story, three-bedroom home Blasberg bought for $281,000 in November 2007. Police have not said if they suspect foul play, and police spokesman Keith Paul declined again to say Tuesday who summoned police to the house. Clark County Coroner Michael Murphy said a ruling on a cause of death was pending blood and tissue tests that could take four to six weeks to complete. Callahan said he didn’t know if Blasberg had any visitors during the weekend.

Hiring, job openings rise WASHINGTON (AP) – New hiring rose in March to its highest level in more than a year while job openings moved up slightly, signs the job market is slowly improving. The Labor Department said Tuesday that employers hired 4.24 million people in March, up from 4 million the previous month. Job openings edged up by 47,000 to 2.69 million. But new hires and job openings remain well below pre-recession levels, as many employers are still cautious about adding to payrolls. That is particularly true for small businesses.

Inventories, sales rise in March WASHINGTON – Inventories held by wholesalers rose for a third consecutive month in March while sales increased by more than double the expected amount. Rising demand is making businesses more confident about the future, a key development needed to sustain the recovery.

National Federation of Independent Business found smaller companies were more optimistic in April about future economic trends than the previous month. But slightly more still are planning to cut jobs than create them, the NFIB said. The group’s small business optimism index rose to 90.6 from 86.8, the highest since September 2008, when Lehman Brothers collapsed and the financial crisis intensified. It was the first time in 18 months that the index topped 90. But the index rarely falls that low, and was below 90 for only one quarter in the steep 1980-82 recession. “The level of the index

is still very depressed,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, in a note to clients. “If the whole economy were small businesses, this survey suggests it would still be contracting at a 3 percent rate.” Economists generally cite two reasons for the divide: Small companies are less likely to export than larger firms and therefore aren’t benefiting as much from improving economies in Asia and parts of Latin America. Smaller companies are also more dependent on bank lending than larger firms, which can issue bonds in order to borrow.

Market exec says keep data together WASHINGTON (AP) – A key executive of the New York Stock Exchange said trading data should be kept in a central location to assist regulators investigating market swings. Larry Leibowitz, NYSE chief operating officer, said officials would have an easier job investigating last week’s historic market plunge if data were not scattered between dozens of private exchanges. In testimony prepared for a Tuesday hearing of the House subcommittee that oversees markets, Leibowitz also called for marketwide “circuit breakers” that would stop trading of stocks during periods of high volatility. Officials from NYSE, Nasdaq and other major exchanges Tuesday proposed specific circuit breakers and other measures to curb market turbulence.

Leibowitz appeared on a panel with executives from the Nasdaq and the CME Group Inc., the largest exchange for futures and options. An earlier panel will included testimony from Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro and Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler. Regulators and exchange executives have been meeting in Washington this week to hash out a new system to slow down or halt trading when the market swings wildly. Separately, the SEC and CFTC announced Tuesday they had formed a joint committee to report on Thursday’s events. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by nearly 1,000 points for a brief period Thursday afternoon. It recovered to close down 342 points.

Recycler adds jobs in NC RALEIGH (AP) – A company that recycles automotive catalytic converters plans to create 98 jobs in North Carolina when it locates its production plant in Burke County. Gov. Bev Perdue said Tuesday that VSA LLC will invest $4.5 million in the next two years for the plant in Morganton. The project will receive

a $98,000 performancebased grant from the One North Carolina Fund if it meets certain job creation and local match requirements. The average annual wage for the new jobs will be $30,000 – above the Burke County average of nearly $29,000 a year. VSA has its headquarters and a pilot plant in Morganton.

Stocks keep most of Monday’s gains NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market mostly held on to its big comeback after investors set aside worries about Europe’s debt struggles. The Dow Jones industrial average fell about 37 points after fluctuating for much of the day. Broader indexes were mixed. Analysts said it was encouraging to see the market hold on to most of its gains from Monday, when the Dow soared 405 points in response to the creation of a bailout fund for weak countries like Greece. Tuesday’s steady trading signaled that the previous day’s big advance wasn’t solely driven by euphoria. “I’m very encouraged by the market action,” said Keith Walter, portfolio manager of the Artio Global Equity Fund in New York. “I think today was a more important day than yesterday.” More bad news from Europe or elsewhere could always unravel the advance. Even with Monday’s big move, stocks are only back to where they were last Wednesday. The easing of worries about Europe allowed traders to focus on the stronger economic picture in the U.S. “We’ve taken the panic out of the market,” said Paul Zemsky, head of asset allocation at ING Investment Management in New York. “In the U.S. market the fundamentals are clearly good.”

Euro rescue’s luster wears off BRUSSELS (AP) – The German government backed a $1 trillion rescue package for Europe’s troubled currency union as European Union officials readied tougher oversight over budgets and economies of most member countries in an effort to contain the region’s troubling debt crisis. The startling size of the EU package, agreed to early Monday, initially lifted the euro and stock markets, but by Tuesday the euphoria had ebbed on concerns that simply making more loans available didn’t address the crippling levels of government debt in countries such as Greece and Portugal.
