Thomas Built Buses recalls workers State legislator questions school bus purchase budget cut BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Thomas Built Buses recently recalled about one-third of its employees laid off since the recession, a leader with the United Auto Workers said. Thomas Built Buses brought back 99 employees three weeks ago because of major orders from a pair of states,
said John Crawford, president of UAW Local 5287, which represents Thomas Built Buses’ hourly workers. About 300 workers had been laid off in the past year and a half at the company, one of the city’s largest private employers. The union contract between the UAW and Thomas Built Buses guaranteed the laid-off workers the opportunity to regain their old jobs. “They were brought back under the union contract under seniority, with the same amount of pay and insurance from day one,” Crawford said Wednes-

Gas prices coming down BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
TRIAD – Most motorists would think that gas prices would spike upward with an oil spill crisis spewing in the Gulf of Mexico and a major travel holiday approaching this weekend. But thanks to one major international economic development, High Point area residents traveling for the Memorial Day holiday weekend will pay less for gas than earlier this month. Gas prices in North and South Carolina have declined 13 cents a gallon on average since peaking this year on May 7, AAA Carolinas out of Charlotte reported Wednesday. The decline in gas prices this month, good holiday weekend weather forecasts at tourist destinations and a decline in unemployment this spring has AAA Carolinas projecting a 3 percent increase in Memorial Day travel compared to last year. An estimated 775,000 North Carolina motorists are expected to begin traveling today through Monday, AAA Carolinas reports. “Travel decisions are made at the last minute more than in the past. With gas prices dropping daily, abundant hotel weekend deals and warm weather, staycations (staying at home) are losing their appeal,” said Da-
CITY, STATE AVERAGE
–
High Point is expected to have the lowest average gas price in the state for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, according to AAA Carolinas. High Point’s holiday week average is $2.65 per gallon. The statewide average is $2.74 per gallon, while the national average is $2.78 per gallon.
vid Parsons, president of AAA Carolinas. Usually, gas prices rise during the weeks leading into a holiday period. But concerns about the debt crisis with nations in the European Union, such as Greece, have contributed to lower trading in oil futures, said Tom Crosby, vice president with AAA Carolinas. “The price of crude is dropping due to the European crisis. There’s nobody speculating in oil with euros right now because they’ve lost their value,” he said, referring to the European Union currency. Oil prices have plunged in recent weeks, dropping nearly 21 percent since a peak of $86.84 per barrel in April. In addition, Crosby said global supplies of oil are abundant now. “As a result, we’re oversupplied, and replacement (of oil stockpiles) are going to be less expensive,” he said. The supply of oil remains robust, despite the ongoing crisis in the Gulf with the leaking BP deep-sea well and pipeline. “It was an experimental well, and it wasn’t on anybody’s contract for current output. And one well out of the huge numbers that exist here and overseas is pretty inconsequential,” Crosby said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528
HIGH POINT – State officials have assessed a $16,000 fine against a High Point retirement center for violations of state law and regulations. Barbara Ryan, chief of the N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation’s Adult Care Licensure Section, announced the administrative penalty in a May 20 letter to Wesleyan Arms Retirement Center. The violations include the wrong doses of insulin administered to a diabetic resident of Wesleyan Arms who was hospitalized in a diabetic coma and later died. Ryan’s decision capped a process that began with a state investigation into a complaint in March 2009. Inspectors recommended the fine and, on May 13, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services’ Penalty Review Committee upheld the recommendation. Wesleyan Arms owner Providence Place has referred questions about the case to Burlington attorney Mark Jones, who could not be reached for comment Wednesday. He previously said Providence Place plans to appeal the penalty. The violations have to do with regulations governing medication administration and the state statute that lays out resident rights at adult care homes. The fine stems from findings regarding four Wesleyan Arms residents. One resident was hospitalized in September 2008 with critically low blood sugar, and inspectors determined that her sliding scale insulin had been mismanaged, which placed her “at risk

for serious physical harm and/or death,” the Division of Health Service Regulation reported. Another resident, 68year-old Rosa Higgins, was administered the incorrect dosage of sliding scale insulin and was hospitalized in November 2008 after being found unresponsive. She died 16 days later, and a medical examiner found that her death stemmed from “multiple nocturnal hypoglycemic

episodes which ultimately caused her to succumb to a diabetic coma,” the division reported. Inspectors found that the facility’s staff also failed to notify Higgins’ physician after her blood sugar was measured below and above certain critical levels multiple times in September and October of 2008. In addition, regulators noted problems with Higgins’ referral and follow-up for various health care needs, as well as missed medication doses. State records show the fine is the second-largest assessed against an adult care home in Guilford County since 2006. Wesleyan Arms has no other penalties.

NC prepares for oil spill, despite odds against it MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
RALEIGH – Federal officials believe the chances that oil from the massive spill off Louisiana will come ashore in North Carolina are miniscule, but state emergency officials are rapidly updating their oil spill response plan, and put out a fact sheet Wednesday to help the public understand more about preparations here for dealing with any effects from the spill. Ernie Seneca, a spokesman for the state department of Crime Control and Public Safety said Coast Guard officials have told state officials that the chances of the oil reaching this far north are less
than one percent. Still, he said, no matter how small the likelihood that the oil will reach North Carolina, the state has to be prepared. Among other things that means staying in close contact with federal agencies that are monitoring the spill and with emergency management officials in the Gulf states and Florida. Also, emergency officials here it decided to update the spill response plan, though it was last revised only a year ago. “The way we’re approaching this is, that the chances might be remote, but we have to be vigilant because the magnitude of this spill is so huge,” Seneca said.
WINSTON-SALEM – Work to replace the bridge on University Parkway over 20th Street in Winston-Salem will begin at midnight June 6, weather permitting, the N.C. Department of Transportation said Wednesday. The bridge is scheduled to reopen to traffic by Aug. 20. The state closed the bridge last month for safety reasons after several pieces of concrete broke off and fell onto the underpass.
The $633,137 contract for the project was awarded to Smith-Rowe Inc. of Mount Airy, according to a news release. Crews will use accelerated construction methods on this project, which will reduce the actual construction time from two years to six months. Those methods will require the full closure of University Parkway between Northwest Boulevard and Coliseum Drive to through traffic while work is under way. Motorists traveling north on University Parkway should use this detour:
The Coast Guard would take the lead in fighting oil contamination in North Carolina coastal waters, and the state would assist. Scientist believe it would take at least a couple of weeks for oil from the spill to reach this far north after it starts riding the currents that loop down to the southern tip of Florida then turn north and become the Gulf Stream. The fact sheet notes that all beaches are open though there are swimming advisories for some based on bacterial contamination unrelated to the oil spill. Also it says that tar balls are sometimes found on beaches here, and also are unrelated to the spill.

Banned gambler has to return $2,001 jackpot ERIE, Pa. (AP) – A Pennsylvania man who won a $2,001 slot machine jackpot must forfeit the winnings and will be charged with trespassing, because he had previously banned himself from casinos under a state program for problem gamblers.
State police have not identified the 55-yearold Waterford Township man who won the jackpot Friday at Erie’s Presque Isle Downs & Casino. Under the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s self-exclusion program, problem gamblers can choose to

day. Orders for Thomas Built Buses are in good shape through the summer, though after that it’s uncertain, Crawford said. “We have lost some orders because states don’t have the money. How much of an effect it will have, we don’t know,” he said. Meanwhile, a state senator from the Triad is worried that a budget action taken by the Senate last week could have a negative ripple effect on Thomas Built. Sen. Jerry Tillman, R-Randolph, said the Democratic-controlled Senate’s $19 billion budget cuts $11.9 million from the school bus replacement fund. Tillman, the Senate minority whip, said he worries a reduction in school bus orders could reduce the chance of Thomas Built Buses to secure state contracts.

an $800 million shortfall. The Senate budget did preserve $44 million to support the extended financing payments required for buses purchased in fiscal years 2007-10, said Schorr Johnson, spokesman for Senate President Pro Tem Marc Basnight, D-Dare. Also, an additional $1 million will be available for emergency bus replacement purchases in the Senate budget, Johnson said. Sixty percent of every dollar spent on Thomas Built buses stays in North Carolina through employee salaries, purchases from North Carolina based-suppliers and state taxes paid, the company reports. “It is our hope that the state of North Carolina finds the resources to support local bus orders,” Thomas Built Buses said in a statement Wednesday.

Files indicate Helms was ‘contact’ for FBI MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Father Aubrey McNeil, pastor of St. Mary of the Angels catholic church in Anderson, S.C., walks on the church property before morning mass. McNeil, who came to Anderson after serving in four other cities, enjoys getting out into the community, as the beloved St. Francis of Assisi did toward his “lesser brothers� in the 1200’s.
Pastor ministers to ‘lesser brothers’ For 30 years he’s been a Franciscan friar. He’s been a priest for 25. At 65 years old, he leads St. Mary’s of the Angels Catholic Church in Anderson. But he’s been all over the world, from here to the Bronx to the crime-plagued streets of Camden, N.J., and to Africa. He’s been in jails, served meals at soup kitchens, given new socks and shoes to the homeless and helped the dying find their Savior again. On this day, he’s already held daily Mass at 8 a.m. for 14 people. And he’s preparing for a trip to the Perry Correctional Institution to visit state inmates. “Going to Perry is like the frosting on the cake, because who can be more down and out than the inmate?� he says. “I am not there to convert them, but to show them that the Lord is with them, that He loves them.� As he leaves the sanctuary he does not lock the front doors. “We are always open so people can come to pray,� he said. In all these years nothing has gone missing. Once a picture of Jesus was taken, but a man brought it back. “He told me, We deal drugs but we do not steal from the church,’� Father Aubrey said.
Situated on a hill on White Street, the church is situated between the old Silver Brook Cemetery on one side and a row of mill houses – some lived in and others havens for drug use – on the other. Just weeks ago, on Palm Sunday, the serenity of this place was shattered by the sound of gunfire. For Father Aubrey, it is just where he should be. It is where he’s always been, in troubled places where there is work to be done. He was born in Nova Scotia, the first son among four siblings. His father was a coal miner, a man who’d left school in the third grade so he could help his father take care of the horses they used in that dark underground. After 19 years in the mines, his father moved the McNeil family to Boston. “I remember living in apartments we paid $32 a month for,� Father Aubrey says. “If the man put it up, we moved. But nevertheless, we grew up with a Catholic education.� His father worked two jobs to make sure they went to Catholic schools. When Father Aubrey was 13, and wanted to go to high school seminary, his father paid for that too. It was $300 a year – in the 1950s. “They managed to lift us up,� he says.
Horseplay leads to Charlotte’s 30th homicide of the year CHARLOTTE – Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say some sort of lighthearted bantering escalated into violence Tuesday evening and led to Charlotte’s 30th homicide of the year. Dead is Cleamard Chisholm, 58, police say. They say John Calvin Hornes, who will turn 56 Friday, has been arrested in connection with the shooting. They say Chisholm and another man were involved in what police describe as “horseplay� about 9:30 p.m. on the
front porch of a house in the 2100 block of Rozzelles Ferry Road, on the corner of Bacon Avenue in northwest Charlotte. Their bantering somehow became serious, and police say one man left briefly and returned with a gun, shooting Chisholm. Police say Chisholm had been shot in the upper thigh and managed to walk onto nearby Roslyn Avenue, collapsing in the front yard of a house in the 2100 block of that street. He left a trail of blood from his house. A resident of the house
called police, and Medic took Chisholm to Carolinas Medical Center, but he died there. Police say the alleged attacker left the scene in a white pickup truck. Early Wednesday morning, police said, they took Holmes into custody in Statesville and he has been returned to Charlotte to face charges. They have not specified what he will be charged with. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call 704-432-TIPS and speak directly to a Homicide Unit Detective.
Jury finds police chief guilty in 1972 murder JACKSONVILLE (AP) – A North Carolina jury has found a small-town police chief guilty in the shooting death of a Marine sergeant 37 years ago. Onslow County District Attorney Dewey Hudson said Wednesday that 57year-old George Hayden was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in the 1972 shooting death of Sgt. William Miller. Jurors deliberated for three days before returning a verdict. Jurors had told Superior Court Judge Ken Crow that they were unable to reach a verdict, but Crow urged them to keep trying. Prosecutors say Miller was killed in an ambush triggered by a love triangle.
Study calls for new jet fighters MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT (AP) – A Navy draft study calls for 13 squadrons of the new F-35 jet fighter to be based at Marine Corps air stations in the Carolinas. The Sun Journal of New Bern reported on Wednesday that the Navy’s draft environmental statement suggests basing options for
11 operational squadrons and two fleet replacement squadrons. The final report is expected in November. The report said the Navy’s preferred option puts eight operational squadrons at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and three operational squadrons at South Carolina’s Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) – On a small podium in this chapel is a wallet-size photo. A young black man looks out from the photo, smiling. It’s a school picture. And it’s lying to the left side of Father Aubrey McNeil’s prayer book. This is the Father’s personal chapel – the place where he goes to pray every day. “That’s Dory,� Father Aubrey says. “I met him in the Bronx. He’d been shot. He recovered but he became bitter. His mother gave me his photo and asked me to pray for him. I have it here so I don’t forget to pray for him.� Father Aubrey doesn’t forget. He knows Dory needs the help. Even his dog, his constant companion, Jumper, was a lost soul. Father Aubrey found him on the streets in the Bronx. “I noticed him one day as I looked out of the window of the parish. He kept jumping up and looking in the window of the school across the street,� he says. “Now he’s been with me for 11 years.� It’s what he does, what he’s lived his life for – to be the intercessor for the hurting, the poor, the needy and all of those in between.
CHARLOTTE – Newly released FBI files say Jesse Helms was a “contact� for the FBI, willing to offer to the law enforcement agency the facilities of TV station WRAL, where he was a broadcast executive until the early 1970s. Helms “is most cooperative and has offered the facilities of his station to assist the FBI at any time,� according to an FBI memo from 1971. “He is a great admirer of the Director (J. Edgar Hoover) and the FBI and for a long period of time has been a staunch defender of the Director and his policies.� Helms, a five-term U.S. senator and one of the iconic figures of American conservatism, died on July 4, 2008. His death triggered the release of the FBI files, which are largely investigations into roughly 20 death threats and extortion attempts against the senator. Prior to his election,
Helms was an executive vice president and assistant CEO of the Capitol Broadcasting Company, which operates WRAL. He was known for his fiery editorials on the station’s news broadcasts. Steve Hammel, WRAL’s vice president and general manager, said he is not aware of the station ever being used to assist the FBI. The FBI report was the first time he learned of the relationship. “I have read the same report that you have read and I have no knowledge that the television station was used in any capacity like that,� he said. The FBI files sheds little light as to how Helms or the TV station may have assisted the agency. A 1973 FBI memo makes reference to “several telephonic contacts,� between Helms and an FBI official, but does not mention any subjects. By then, the files show he had been “deleted� as a contact by virtue of his election to the U.S. Senate.

Red Cross defends first aid courses for Taliban GENEVA – The international Red Cross said Wednesday it would continue giving first aid training and kits to Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, despite drawing angry e-mails from around the world after the practice was publicized. The International Committee of the Red Cross trained “over 70 members of the armed opposition� in first aid last month, along with more than 100 police and civilians. “It’s the core of the ICRC’s mandate to make sure that people are cured whether they are from one side or the other side,� spokesman Christian Cardon said.
Officials say Israel will stop flotilla for Gaza JERUSALEM – Israel’s navy will stop a flotilla heading for Gaza with 10,000 tons of supplies and proPalestinian activists intent on breaking a three-year blockade of Gaza, officials said Wednesday, in the first definitive Israeli pledge to stop the boats. The officials said if the flotilla of eight ships does not turn back, the boats will be hauled to an Israeli port, the activists sent back to their countries and the supplies transferred to Gaza by land.
Authorities: Terror blast in Russia kills 5 ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia – An explosion tore through the center of a southern city on Wednesday, killing five people and wounding at least 20 as locals gathered for a Chechen dance concert, officials said. The blast bore the hallmarks of terrorist attacks that plague Russia’s North Caucasus region, though the city of Stavropol rarely suffers the separatistrelated violence that pervades Chechnya and other bordering provinces.
Britain discloses size of its nuclear stockpile LONDON – Britain offered its first public accounting of its nuclear arsenal Wednesday, disclosing it has a stockpile of 225 warheads in a move offering transparency to non-nuclear states in hope of winning stricter global controls on the spread of atomic weapons. The announcement, made without fanfare in the House of Commons, follows the Obama administration’s disclosure that the United States has stockpiled 5,113 nuclear warheads and “several thousand� more retired warheads awaiting the junk pile.
Netanyahu to visit White House next week JERUSALEM – President Barack Obama’s chief of staff on Wednesday invited the Israeli prime minister to the White House next week, in a sign that strained relations between the two allies are beginning to thaw.

Iran urges Obama to accept nuke deal KERMAN, Iran (AP) – Iran’s president warned the United States on Wednesday that it will miss a historic opportunity for cooperation if it turns Obama down a nuclear fuel swap deal that Washington has dismissed as a ploy. Differences over the deal – and the U.S. push for new sanctions over Iran’s disputed nuclear program – have threatened to close the door on President Barack Obama’s already fading policy of outreach to Tehran. The swap offer was negotiated last week by Brazil and Turkey, both opposed to new U.N. sanctions on Iran.
Poland welcomes US soldiers, Patriot missiles MORAG, Poland – Polish and U.S. officials hailed the arrival in Poland of an American Patriot missile battery, saying Wednesday that the hardware and soldiers close to the Russian border enhance Polish security but pose no threat to Russia. The Patriot battery arrived Sunday at a base in Morag, a town in northeastern Poland 37 miles from Russia’s westernmost point, the Kaliningrad exclave.
Couple kidnapped by pirates appears in video LONDON – A British couple kidnapped by Somali pirates more than six months ago appeared in a video Wednesday appealing to the new U.K. government to secure their release. Paul and Rachel Chandler were kidnapped Oct. 23 when armed pirates seized their 38-foot yacht in the Indian Ocean as they sailed toward Tanzania. In the newly disclosed video, excerpts of which were broadcast by Britain’s Channel 4 News and ITV News programs, the couple pleaded for help from Prime Minister David Cameron.

Election results closer to being certified in Iraq BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq’s election commission sent the final results of the March 7 elections to the Supreme Court Wednesday for certification, which could clear a major obstacle to forming the new government after weeks of delay. The results of the election have been in dispute for nearly three months, heightening tensions in Iraq’s fragile democracy at a time when American forces are preparing to go home.

Shuttle Atlantis lands for last time CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – How would you look after 120 million miles? Atlantis might appear a little scuffed up to outsiders as it heads into retirement after a quarter-century of spaceflight. But to the trained eyes of NASA engineers, the ship is still in its prime. Atlantis returned home from its 32nd and final voyage Wednesday.
FDA: 2 weight loss pills linked to illness WASHINGTON – Federal health officials are warning consumers that the weight loss pills alli and Xenical may cause severe liver damage in rare cases. The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday it has added a warning about the risk to the label of the drug alli, which is sold over-the-counter by GlaxoSmithKline.
US mines may face air pack shortages CHARLESTON, W.Va. – One of just two major makers of emergency air packs for U.S. coal mines has stopped selling the devices because they often don’t automatically start and the industry fears it will lead to a shortage, officials said Wednesday.

‘Top kill’ under way to stop oil spill COVINGTON, La. (AP) – BP on Wednesday launched its latest bid to plug the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico by force-feeding it heavy drilling mud, a maneuver known as a “top kill� that has never before been tried 5,000 feet underwater. The oil giant’s chief executive earlier gave the procedure a 60 to 70 percent chance of working, and President Barack Obama cautioned Wednesday there were “no guarantees.� BP spokesman Steve Rinehart said the com-
pany will pump mud for hours, and officials have indicated it may be a couple of days before they know whether the procedure is working. The top kill involves pumping enough mud into the gusher to overcome the flow of oil, and engineers plan to follow it up with cement to try to permanently seal the well. A live video stream showed pictures of the oil gushing and the blowout preventer, the five-story device the mud was being pumped into.

New security strategy breaks with Bush WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is breaking with the goit-alone Bush years in a new strategy for keeping the nation safe, counting more on U.S. allies to tackle terrorism and other global problems. It’s an approach that already has proved tricky in practice.
The administration’s National Security Strategy, a summary of which was obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, also for the first time adds homegrown terrorism to the familiar menu of threats facing the nation – international terror, nuclear weapons proliferation, economic instability,
global climate change and an erosion of democratic freedoms abroad. From mustering NATO forces for Afghanistan to corralling support to pressure North Korea to give up its illicit nuclear weapons program, the U.S. has sometimes struggled in leaning on friends and allies in recent years.

Arizona needs more support from us, Congress Arizona is not getting enough support from the rest of us on their stand about illegal immigration. We believe that both your conservative and liberal subscribers would do well to e-mail or call their representatives in Congress. Ask them to issue a supportive document to Arizona, and praise it for doing what is needed to protect its citizens. Would N.C. citizens and elected officials not respond as did Arizona if those same drastic conditions happened here? It was offensive to listen to Obama and the Mexican president denounce Arizona. Instead of admitting to both of their country’s failures to protect citizens, they foment racial divisions and try to score political points with the illegals. How about our leadership scoring some needed points with the overwhelming rest of us, whose ancestors followed the laws and arrived here through Ellis Island and “Lady Liberty’s front door”? If insisting on criminal charges and justice against those who willingly broke our immigration laws to tap into our work and welfare systems, to even deport them, is “discriminatory,” please count me among that same, taxpaying and discriminating electorate. Good sense dictates, first and foremost, that we secure the entire Mexican border. Then we can discuss immigration reforms. Otherwise, Congress and our commander in chief are not doing what is required by our Founding Fathers to keep us safe and secure.

N.C. must tackle illegal immigration
N
orth Carolina could jump into the national debate on enforcement of illegal immigration laws if a joint resolution introduced by state Sen. Don East, R-Surry, moves forward in the General Assembly. On Monday, East filed the resolution, which would need approval by the state Senate and the N.C. House of Representatives in order for the issue to be debated this summer in Raleigh. Normal procedure during this year’s short session of the Legislature is for bills related only to the state budget to be considered. Area senators Jerry Tillman, R-Randolph, Stan Bingham, R-Davidson, and Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, are co-sponsors of East’s resolution. If approved, East’s measure would allow consideration of a bill that East has prepared and titled “An act to create the crime of willful failure to carry or complete an alien registration document.” Reportedly, East’s bill is styled after the controversial illegal immigration statute enacted recently in Arizona. East’s joint resolution (SB 1349) has been referred to the Committee on Rules and Operations of the Senate where we’d hope that it is dealt with fairly and quickly and brought to the Senate floor for approval. Then, we’d hope the N.C. House would do the same and give East the chance to move his bill on alien registration into the Legislature for full scrutiny and debate. This is not to endorse the specifics of the Arizona legislation, nor is it an endorsement of what the specific language in East’s proposal might say. But if the federal government isn’t going to act adequately and immediately to rectify broken immigration policy – particularly as it relates to illegal immigration – it is time for the states to act themselves. Eighteen states have initiated action to protect their citizens and to eradicate the problems related to illegal immigration. East’s joint resolution and bill are the first steps for North Carolina.

in schools. My father, Robert Lee Gaston, had enlisted in World War I and was very proud of his service. I remember two incidents from his war years that I think are quite significant – one sad event and the other one unusual. My father met up with his best friend from childhood, Edgar Love, while he was serving in Belgium in 1918. They had just visited with each other and then had to return to their lines. When my father left to walk back to his line, he heard gun shots but did not know until two days later that his best friend had been killed as soon as he left him. The other incident was when my father was wounded. He had been assigned two German prisoners to watch. When he was shot in the leg from machine gun fire, his two prisoners brought him back to safety rather than go free. They said that they got

f you notice, they have never been on our side. “They” meaning social conservatives. “Our” meaning African-American people. They were not there in the century after the Civil War, as conservative Southern Democrats violently repressed would-be black voters, made a shadow government of the Ku Klux Klan, turned a deaf ear to the howling of lynch mobs and lynch victims. They have not been there in the half century since, as conservative Southern Republicans fought affirmative action, poverty programs, and attempts to ban the American swastika, i.e., the Confederate battle flag, from public lands. They have never been on our side and always, they have claimed “principle” to justify it. So remarks like the one above that got Kentucky senatorial candidate Rand Paul in trouble last week are surprising only in the sense that one is surprised to hear an oldie on the radio one hasn’t heard in a while. He first told the editorial board of the Louisville Courier-Journal, then reiterated in last week’s interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, that he thinks the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 overreached in telling private businesses they could not discriminate against black people. Paul, a Republican, a tea-party favorite and an apostle of tiny government, considers private ownership sacrosanct. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it was also the reasoning of segregationists in ’63 and ’64. The civil rights bill “would dictate to private businessmen who they must do business with,” said ex-Mississippi Gov. J.P. Coleman. It “would further impinge on the right of private property in this country,” said Georgia Sen. Richard Russell. It represents a “threat to the fundamental right of private property ownership,” said the Jackson (Miss.) Daily News. With an obtuseness that can only be called stunning, Paul repeated that reason-

ing to Maddow, then dismissed the whole thing as “abstract,” and “obscure.” Spoken like a man whose forebears never suffered the stark humiliation of arriving in a strange town and having to ask around for a OPINION hotel that would take them or a restaurant that would Leonard serve them. Pitts And frankly, if anyone had ■■■ shown such tender concern for American principles from the beginning, there’d never have been a need for a Civil Rights Act in the first place. What part of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments did they not get? What part of “all men are created equal” confused them? As poet Gil ScottHeron once observed, “I have become a special amendment for what included me all along.” Paul, under fire for his extremist views, has now recanted them. And he’d like you to know he would have marched with Martin Luther King if he’d had the chance. Because, ironically enough, he came of age in the world the act created, he probably even believes that. “Everyone” thinks they would’ve marched with King – “now,” when having done so is a badge of honor. But Paul would “not” have marched with Martin Luther King in 1964, when doing so was an act of courage. Nor, by definition, would Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck or any other social conservative. They have “never” been on our side. No, they would have been on the side of the Confederate flag-wavers, the church bombers and cross burners, piously decrying those peoples’ excesses but providing the intellectual cover that allowed the excesses to continue. Faced with people crying to be free, they’d have retreated behind dry legalisms to explain why freedom could not be had. That’s what social conservatives did 46 years ago. Apparently, they are doing it still. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail lpitts@miamiherald.com.

The ‘social justice’ fallacy – it’s wolves in sheep’s clothing BY MARK W. HENDRICKSON
M
any Christians over many years have been beguiled by the religious left’s use of the term “social justice.� This is because Christians rightly love justice and hate injustice. But “social justice� – or, at least, how it’s often used by liberal Christians – isn’t necessarily biblical justice. The standard of biblical justice is equal treatment by law: “Thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty� (Leviticus 19:15). Justice not only means that nobody is to be picked on because he is poor or favored because he is rich, but that (contrary to the doctrine of “social justice�) nobody is to be picked on because he is rich or favored because he is poor. Everyone’s rights deserve the same protection. Thus, nobody should be taxed at a higher rate than his neighbors, nor should anyone receive special government handouts. The modern left’s “social justice� strives for economic equality. It endeavors to reduce, if not erase, the gap between rich and poor by redistributing wealth. This is “justice� more akin to Marx and Lenin, not according to Moses and Jesus. It is a counterfeit of real justice, biblical justice. Modern notions of “social justice� are often wolves in sheep’s clothing. The fundamental error of today’s “social justice� practitioners is their hostility to economic inequality, per se. “Social justice� theory fails to distinguish between economic disparities that result from unjust deeds and those that are part of the natural order of things. All Christians oppose unjust deeds, and I’ll list some economic injustices momentarily. First, though, let us understand why it isn’t necessarily unjust for some people to be richer than others: God made us different from each other. We are unequal in aptitude, talent, skill, work ethic, priorities, etc. Inevitably, these differences result in some individuals producing and earning far more wealth than others. To the extent that those in the “social justice� crowd obsess about eliminating economic inequality, they are at war with the nature of the Creator’s creation. The Bible doesn’t condemn economic inequality. You can’t read Proverbs without seeing that some people are poor due to their own vices. There is nothing unjust about people reaping what they sow, whether wealth or poverty. Jesus himself didn’t condemn economic inequality. Yes, he repeatedly warned about the snares of material wealth; he exploded the comfortable conventionality of the Pharisaical tendency to regard prosperity as a badge of honor and superiority; he commanded compassion toward the poor and suffering. But he also told his disciples, “ye have the poor always with you� (Matthew 26:11), and in the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:24-30) he condemned the failure to productively use one’s God-given talents – whether many or few, exceptional or ordinary – by having a lord take money from the one who Need a job?
had the least and give it to him who had the most, thereby increasing economic inequality. The Lord’s mission was to redeem us from sin, not to redistribute our property or impose an economic equality on us. In fact, the Almighty explicitly declined to undermine property rights or preach economic equality when he told the man who wanted Jesus to tell his brother to share an inheritance with him, “Man, who made me a judge or divider over you?� (Luke 12:14). All that having been said, there is much injustice in our world, much needed reform that all Christians can unite in accomplishing. Around the world, many people are poor and will never realize their God-given potential due to lack of freedom and opportunity. Let us never be on the side of those who reject man’s God-given rights and biblical justice, and who oppress and impoverish in the name of a spurious economic equality. In relatively free societies such as our own, we must continue to combat the economic injustices of theft, fraud, deceit, trickery, etc. We should strive to undo the injustices perpe-

By all means, let us tackle these persistent injustices. But let us be careful to abide by the biblical standard of impartiality and equal treatment by law, lest we create additional injustices.

jovial, happy man and minister, Sherman Mason is one of four local citizens being flown around the country by the National Network for Safe Communities. The Network’s goal: to explain to other cities High Point’s highly successful coalition against illegal drugs and violence. Other members of the foursome include Police Chief Jim Fealy, Community Against Violence Executive Director Jim Summey and Assistant U.S. Attorney Rob Lang. The “front yard� Mason is unwilling to give up is his street corner, sidewalk, local playground and front porch. Serving in his first pastorate at Greater New Hope Baptist Church on Meredith Street, Mason quickly noticed drug dealers had made his church’s street corner home to an active drug market. Frustrated and not knowing what to do, Mason picked up a video camera and began walking toward the dealers, camera rolling. When asked what he was doing, Mason replied he was filming the illegal activity so police would know whom to arrest. Though later advised this was “not very smart,� community leaders encouraged Mason to meet Jim Summey and a group called Community Against Violence who shared his concerns. Since that time, Mason has participated in multiple drug market interventions, met David M. Kennedy, an early pioneer of the Drug Market Intervention Strategy, and seen his community gradually transformed. When asked what makes High Point’s strategy so effective, Mason emphasized the painstaking work that goes into a particular intervention. Police spend extensive time meeting with neighborhood leaders and building community support prior to an initiative. Officers research crime statistics in an area, who the criminal leaders are and seek to meet with family members of criminal
leaders with the goal of turning their loved one’s life around. Each of these steps lays the OPINION groundwork for a neighElijah borhood meetLovejoy ing or “call ■■■in� between leaders of criminal behavior, concerned neighbors, police, family members and city leaders. Mason sees this strategy as three legs of a stool: community, police and political leadership. If any of these legs is missing or unsupportive, intervention generally does not work. At Mason’s urging, I decided to attend the next “call in.� What I witnessed was truly amazing. Volunteers, Community Against Violence staff, a pastor and leaders of social service organizations offered to put their full resources at the disposal of a group of about 13 violent crime offenders. Offenders were reassured they were loved, encouraged back into community and challenged to test the authenticity of this offer. Following this presentation, a group of 11 local, state and federal officials, including the FBI, SBI, ATF, DEA, Crimestoppers, state and federal prosecutors and all Triad police departments entered the room and took their place. Each official reiterated that these 13 offenders, based on their record, were being singled out for special attention. The only way they would get out of this situation was in prison, in a box or in community. Community seemed like the way to go, and officials encouraged offenders to take the hand that was extended to them. The community would no longer put up with their drug dealing and violent behavior. At the conclusion of the meeting, I left wondering how other organizations could benefit from this level of coordination, truth-telling and love.

RANDOLPH COUNTY – A Randolph County man faces charges after an investigation by a sheriff’s office task force that deals with Internet-based crimes. Randolph County Sheriff’s Office detectives executed a search warrant at a Windsor Place Circle apartment near Randleman on May 6, according to authorities. The detectives, assisted by the Randleman Police Department, were acting as part of the Piedmont Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigating the illegal trade of child pornography on the Internet. A search of the residence led to the seizure
The purpose of the task force is to investigate child pornographyrelated cases, suspected online predators and other crimes. of one desktop computer and multiple forms of electronic media, according to the sheriff’s office. Since the materials were seized, detectives have located digital files containing “known child pornography” on the computers, which led to charges against one person. James Alan Wilson, 28, was arrested Tuesday and charged with 16 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a child and one count of simple possession of a schedule IV controlled substance, according to the sheriff’s office. He was booked into the Randolph County Jail under a $160,000 bond. The task force is composed of sheriff’s officials from several Triad counties and was started with a federal grant last year. Its purpose is to investigate child pornographyrelated cases, suspected online predators and other crimes. Deputies said the task force still is investigating the case against Wilson. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Board to review sex education program BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials will take a look tonight at a revised policy for an expanded health and sex education program in middle schools. Public schools will start instruction in grades seven through nine next year under the Healthy Youth Act. Known as HB-88, the law allows school districts to offer a two-track approach, abstinence-only and comprehensive. Parents choose a program. A student will be enrolled in the comprehensive class if the parent does not return a consent form. The Guilford County Board of Education will take a look at the proposed revised policy during a 6 p.m. session at district administrative headquarters in Greensboro. The expanded program would help battle teen pregnancy, according to health officials. The abstinence-only curriculum had been the law since 1995. The expanded program still will stress abstinence before marriage as the best course, and that abstinence from sexual intercourse is the only certain way to prevent unintended pregnancies and reduce the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS. School districts also will be required to offer information on sexual assault and abuse and FDA approved contraception. The comprehensive program was

The board also will take another look at the service area for the new Meredith Leigh HaynesBennie Lee Inman Education Center. The area is west of U.S. 220. Haynes-Inman is scheduled to open this fall in Jamestown with about 80 students. The Gateway Center in Greensboro will serve students east of the line. The board opened a period of public comment through May 21. Haynes-Inman and Gateway are alternative schools for students with severe disabilities. The school is named after the late Meredith Leigh Haynes, a High Point native, and Bennie Lee Inman, a special education pioneer and longtime director of the Greensboro Cerebral Palsy School that became Gateway Center.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Art Linkletter, who as the gently mischievous host of TV’s “People Are Funny� and “House Party� in the 1950s and ’60s delighted viewers with his ability to get kids– and grownups – to say the darndest things on national television, died Wednesday. He was 97. Linkletter died at his home in the Bel-Air section of Los Angeles, said his son-in-law, Art Hershey, the husband of Sharon Linkletter. “He lived a long, full, pure life, and the Lord had need for him,� Hershey said. Linkletter had been ill “in the last few weeks time, but bear in mind he was 97 years old. He wasn’t eating well, and the aging process took him,� Hershey said. Linkletter hadn’t been diagnosed with any lifethreatening disease, he said.
Linkletter was known on TV for his funny interviews with chilLinkletter dren and ordinary folks. He also collected their comments in a number of best-selling books. “Art Linkletter’s House Party,� one of television’s longest-running variety shows, debuted on radio in 1944 and was seen on CBS-TV from 1952 to 1969. Though it had many features, the best known was the daily interviews with schoolchildren. “On ‘House Party’ I would talk to you and bring out the fact that you had been letting your boss beat you at golf over a period of months as part of your campaign to get a raise,� Linkletter wrote.

Bill would limit NC cities starting broadband RALEIGH (AP) – Becky and Dale Carlson are relying on fast and cheap Internet access as they sell photos and online greeting cards in the home business they hope will carry them into retirement. So Becky Carlson said she opposes a legislative proposal that would make it harder for cities and towns to build broadband Internet systems that compete with big telephone and cable companies and hold down rates. “It’s really important to a lot of small business, but especially us because it’s only online,� said Becky Carlson of Apex, who runs Bluemoonistic Images. “Photography files are so huge. You can’t send large files if you don’t have fast Internet.� The Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday postponed considering legislation that would force municipalities to get voter approval before borrowing money to build a competing broadband network. The bill is the latest in a series of efforts by telecom corporations to keep local governments out of the broadband business. “This is another itera-

Where there’s smoke, man finds wife with old flame
D
ear Abby: A few months ago I became suspicious that my wife of 40 years was having an affair with an old high school friend. At first I thought I was misreading the signs. Then I found an unfinished e-mail on our computer making a date to meet him “at our special place,� and I was crushed. I began gathering information and found it was true and that it had been going on for some time. When I confronted her, she denied everything until I told her about the email and everything else I had found. She eventually admitted it was true and said she had wanted only to see if she was still attractive to men because she felt we were “drifting apart in our lives.� We tried counseling, but when she was able to make only one appointment due to “job conflicts,� I gave up. I don’t trust anything she tells me now, and I don’t know which way to turn. I stupidly agreed not to discuss this with any of her family or friends. I hate thinking that everything I thought we were working for will end up being split down the middle (if I’m lucky), and I will probably be painted as the one at fault. – Duped And Trustless in Washington State Dear Duped And Trustless: Because your wife refused counsel-
ing does not mean that you shouldn’t go, and that’s what I’m urging you to do. ADVICE You need someone Dear who is not Abby emotionally ■■■involved to help you get your head straight. Once you do, you will have a better idea of what you want to do and how to accomplish it. You should also save the evidence, in case your wife tries in the coming months to lay the blame for her infidelity on you. You have my sympathy. Dear Abby: My son was married a short time ago. The reception was held at my condo member hall. After the reception, the bride and groom asked me to refrigerate the leftover bottom layer of the wedding cake. They said they’d pick it up the next day. Six days later, the cake was still in my fridge. They made excuses every day for not picking it up. Finally, I threw it away. Now I’m the bad guy, and the bride is demanding an apology. Abby, the cake was hard and crusty, and I felt six days was long enough. Was I wrong in dumping the cake? – Father Of The Groom in Fort Worth Dear Father: Let me
put it this way – rather than storing the cake in the fridge, it should have immediately gone into the freezer so it could be eaten at a later date. But because that didn’t happen, and the cake was fit only to be used as a paving stone or a doorstop, the logical thing to do was throw it away. Dear Abby: I am in my 50s and part of a management team at work. My first name is Mary. Every time the boss sees me he starts reciting that nursery rhyme, “Mary, Mary, quite contrary!� I find it belittling and insulting. I have expressed my dislike of what he’s doing, but he can’t seem to stop. Is this a form of workplace harassment? – “Quite� Annoyed in Alabama Dear Annoyed: If you have told your boss you find what he’s doing to be unwelcome and he continues anyway, it might qualify as creating a hostile work environment. It appears you work for an insensitive clod whose attempts to be clever are annoying and pathetic rather than witty. You have my sympathy.

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
tion of the previous ones we have seen over the last three years that are designed to contain and cripple existing systems, and set the bar so high for new systems that it would be difficult for communities to move forward,� said Doug Paris, an assistant to Salisbury’s city manager. Salisbury has borrowed $30 million to build a fiber-optic network. It will begin testing the system in a few months. The telecom companies are opposed by the politically influential North Carolina League of Municipalities and corporate giants Google and Intel. They argue that crimping municipal broadband could stifle economic growth in a wired age. Cable and phone companies have been urging the General Assembly to restrict municipal broadband services since a 2005 state appeals court ruling upheld the right of towns and cities to offer their residents broadband. Companies argue that local governments have an unfair advantage because they don’t have to pay taxes and can subsidize their rates, undercutting the corporate competitors.
Sen. David Hoyle, DGaston, said tax-free government enterprises shouldn’t be competing with business, but a compromise with municipalities is being negotiated. The Senate bill’s sponsor said stopping local governments from adding broadband to the range of utility services may save municipalities from future losses. “They’re going to own a cable system that may become obsolete and they’re going to say to us (legislators), ’Please save us,�’ Hoyle said. He pointed to news earlier this month that residents of Davidson and Mooresville, north of Charlotte, face a projected $6.4 million revenue shortfall at the local cable system the cities bought in 2007. The two communities spent $92 million to buy and upgrade the lines for MI-Connection. The resulting service offers cable TV, telephone and Internet to about 15,000 customers, but it has struggled to hold on to them. The North Carolina conflict is playing out amid a national push to extend broadband to corners of the country that private enterprise hasn’t reached.
Boy, 9, wins NC hearing-aid coverage for youths RALEIGH (AP) – A 9year-old boy who got a bill approved requiring North Carolina health insurers to cover hearing aids for young people says he wanted to help other kids. The Legislature gave final approval on Wednesday to a measure mandating insurers pay up to $2,500 per ear for hearing aids every three years for children up to 21 years of age. The Senate unanimously approved the bill that now goes to Gov. Beverly Perdue’s desk. Third-grader Collin Tastet (TASS’-tet) of Greensboro helped lobby for the bill last year and was at the Legislative Building on Wednesday. Collin has worn hearing aids since he was 8 weeks old. His father said the bill won’t affect Collin because he managed to get hearing aids covered for him as a baby.

Hearing can get too good
D
ear Dr. Donohue: Is there any help for people whose hearing is too good? I feel like I am constantly bombarded by noises that others don’t notice. Having to listen to people’s conversations, eating and crackling papers have been particularly stressful in the office. At home, lawnmowers, power tools and ice-cream trucks have left me in tears. I wear landscaper’s ear protectors at home, but I cannot do that at work. Is there any way to turn down the volume of the world? – K.F.
BLONDIE
Hearing whose volume control has been turned to the highest setting goes by the name of hyperacusis. It’s a problem that you share with quite a few other people. Do you have ear ringing or other noises, too? About 90 percent of those with hyperacusis also suffer from ear noises. That’s tinnitus. On the list of causes are head injury, stress and some medicines. For many, no cause is ever found. It might be that your brain has a defect in the way it regulates incoming sound. Your first task is an examination by an ear, nose and throat doctor. If the doctor confirms the hyperacusis diagnosis, programs that desensitize your ears to sound are helpful. Listening to low-frequency sound for two hours a day turns down the volume of incoming sound. The two hours don’t have to be one en-

tire block of time; they can be broken into smaller periods. Results take several HEALTH months. This is Dr. Paul something Donohue for which ■■■ you must have guidance. The ENT doctor can direct you to programs available in your locale. Earmuffs and other sound-dampening devices are fine, but you should not wear them constantly. Continual use worsens this condition. You have two sources of great help. One is the American Tinnitus Association, which also comes to the rescue of those with hyperacusis. You can contact it at www.ata.org. The second organization is the Hyperacusis Network at www.hyperacusis.net. Dear Dr. Donohue: My husband passed away Nov. 3, 2009. On the day before, I took him to the doctor, and he was diagnosed with the flu. The doctor said his lungs were clear. (I must add that in 2001, my husband was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.) The doctor prescribed Tamiflu. At 9:30 that night, I found my husband on the bathroom floor. I called 911. At the hospital, he was put on a respirator and tested for swine flu. The test was negative. They were going to put him on dialysis, but they couldn’t because his blood pres-
sure was so low. He died at 11:30 a.m. How does one go from clear lungs to pneumonia to death in 23 hours? If he had gone to the hospital right away, would he still be with me? – R.H. My sincerest condolences on the death of your husband. The death certificate says he died of respiratory failure and cardiac arrest (a cessation of heart action) as a consequence of pneumonia and renal (kidney) failure, both of which were partly due to his chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The only explanation I can give is that this rapid road to death was greatly influenced by a failure of his immune system brought on by chronic lymphocytic leukemia. His body couldn’t deal with the lung infection, which progressed rapidly and led to a shutting down of his kidneys and his heart and a precipitous drop in his blood pressure. I don’t know if earlier hospitalization would have saved him. It might not have. Dear Dr. Donohue: I received this advice from an Internet doctor. It said to eat fruit on an empty stomach and not during meals in order to detoxify your system. It said that if you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit, the fruit stays in the stomach, the meal rots and ferments, turns to acid and spoils. What is your opinion? – K.H. Huh? Makes no sense to me.

Banderas back as voice of Puss in ‘Shrek 4’
RINGO RETURNS
----
SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER
NEW YORK – A small cat is giving Antonio Banderas as much satisfaction as the very Zorro. The Spanish-born star returned to the screen last weekend in “Shrek Forever After” as the voice of Puss in Boots, a Zorro-like feline that the actor says is the antithesis of the big heroes he usually plays. The popularity of the little cat, which debuted in the second movie of the “Shrek” franchise, has landed Puss the title role in a separate movie for DreamWorks that could be released in 2012. Banderas has already begun working on the film with Mexican actress Salma Hayek. Just prior to the world premiere of “Shrek Forever After” at the recent Tribeca Film Festival, Banderas spoke with The Associated Press about the movie, animation in Spain, wife Melanie Griffith and his next projects, including his recent work with Woody Allen on “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.” AP: This is the fourth installment in the “Shrek” franchise – nearly 10 years of successes. How does the series stay fresh and what attracts people to watch it? BANDERAS: I believe it’s fundamentally the possibility that the movie has to be liked by kids and parents alike, but most specially by the parents ... There’s also something very important ... We are absolutely not conditioned to say the lines in a specific way but they allow us to improvise a lot ... and I know that is not a method used in all animated movies.” AP: What do you see of yourself in Puss in Boots? BANDERAS: Not of me. (But) Puss has given me the opportunity to laugh at myself and to laugh most of all about the great characters that I’ve played who are bigger than life, such as “El Zorro,” such as “Desperado,” such as “The 13th Warrior.” Heroic stories where I have depicted major characters. AP: So this would be like their antithesis? BANDERAS: Exactly! Suddenly all of it gets reduced to a little cat. It becomes an alter ego of some of the things that I’ve done, but not so much about me. I wish! I like the cat a lot, I would like to be as ironic as he is and have that certain mystery that he has. AP: It won’t be Zorro, but the cat’s had so much success that they’re making a movie about him. What do you think of the fact that the “Shrek” film series began without Puss in Boots...? BANDERAS: ...And now Puss in Boots has his own world! (Laughs) AP: What can you tell us about the movie? BANDERAS: What I can tell you, without giving away too much, is that it’s a film that is a bit separate of “Shrek” in terms of style, that it doesn’t go toward the counterculture so much and doesn’t laugh as much about pop but is more akin to an epic. AP: Will any other character from “Shrek” make an appearance? BANDERAS: No, he’s the only one. All the characters that surround him are new because it’s about the beginning of his life ... He’s in an orphanage and there’s a bit of “Oliver Twist” to the story. It’s sweet and almost moving in some moments. AP: You’re working on and producing animated films in Spain (including the short film “La Dama y la Muerte,” which was nominated for an Oscar). What’s the next such project? BANDERAS: We’re producing our second feature film, titled “Goleon.” We’re even developing our own software, working with innovative companies in Spain, with the University of Granada, and our own 3D stereoscope software, which is spectacular.

‘Lost’ finale stirs much debate FRAZIER MOORE AP TELEVISION WRITER
NEW YORK – Can we all agree that Jack Shephard is dead? That he died in a bamboo grove on the lost island, gravely injured after saving it, his eye seen in close-up shutting as the series’ final shot? There may not be much more that viewers will agree on after Sunday’s gargantuan, challenging conclusion to “Lost.” For six seasons, the ABC mystical thriller has kept its audience guessing and arguing as well as entertained. But after the much-awaited finale, criticism and debate went into hyperdrive. “One word. just amazing. the circle of life. wow. just wow,” cheered franciSpace among a flurry of Twitter postings Monday morning. And linenlimbs reported, “my dish network box won’t turn on today; i think it committed suicide after that devastatingly beautiful episode.” On the other hand, tomuky declared, “Thank goodness its over. A show with a million plot lines in a losing attempt to appear as an intelligent show.” On YouTube, viewers rushed to upload their video responses to the episode. One “Lost” fan, her face lit in an eerie blue glow, wept and choked out remarks such as “ ‘Lost’ is my life” and “I don’t understand why it had to end” for nearly five minutes. “I don’t know what the hell just happened,” said another YouTube contributor in a blistering critique. The last series finale to fuel such fierce anticipation and spark such after-thefact dispute was, of course, “The Sopranos,” in 2007. Did
Tony die in the restaurant a nanosecond after the final blackout, or did he carry on his mobster life with nothing changed? “Sopranos” fans still disagree. Now, to no one’s surprise, the “Lost” finale has joined its notorious, celebrated ranks. But can we all agree that, even now, viewers weren’t given the answer to one longstanding, seemingly fundamental question: Where was the doggone island? Good. That’s settled. Or not. The two-and-one-half-hour special drew an average audience of 13.5 million viewers, beating NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” finale by 4.2 million viewers, according to the Nielsen Co. The two-hour retrospective that preceded the “Lost” finale drew an audience of 9.8 million viewers. But mysteries continued to plague much of that audience Monday in the “Lost” hangover. Sure, Jack was dead. But what about the other castaways? What was the state of their mortality, both on the island and in the so-called sideways universe that showed their parallel existence elsewhere, mostly in Los Angeles? “Both stories seem to be part of their limbo, part of their purgatory,” said Chris Seay, author of “The Gospel According to ‘Lost.’ ” The finale, he said, “wasn’t what I hoped.” Pointing to the pledge from “Lost” producers that the island wasn’t a purgatory for the victims of the Oceanic airliner crash, Seay suggested that the outcome of the series amounted to “sort of a misdirection.” He cited the finale’s closing scenes in an L.A. church where many of the former castaways – all of them dead – convened, with Jack, appar-
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
ently, the guest of honor. With light flooding the sanctuary, it seemed a vision of a blissful afterlife, or the gateway leading there. “It was the most compelling part of the show – people that you love being present together,” Seay said. “They spoke about going to the place where you can be with the people that you love. This is how we speak of heaven, but in the most common understanding, it’s a place where people that you love are reunited.” That’s all well and good, he said with a laugh. “But now, many of us are going to be having conversations about who died when, and what was the island. These were questions you would hope we would have gotten a little further down the road on.” On the other hand, Nikki Stafford “absolutely loved” the finale. The author of “Finding Lost,” book-length guides to each season of the series, Stafford argues that the plane really crashed on the island, the castaways survived, and went on to have all the experiences viewers saw there. But in her view, the sideways world is their purgatory. And since “there is no ‘now’ here,” in the words of Jack’s father at the church, all those gathered there had died, at one time or another, after living their own respective lives. “They reconverged for Jack’s sake,” Stafford said, “and this purgatory was an afterlife scenario, shown through Jack’s lens.” Stafford, who currently is writing her Season 6 “Finding Lost” volume for October publication, then acknowledged, “Other people are going to see it differently, I’m sure.”
Ringo Starr kicks off a second season of the public television series “Live From the Artists Den” with a performance that will be shown the week of his 70th birthday. The series captures artists in intimate, unusual settings. The former Beatle’s concert will air on PBS stations the week of July 5 at different times in different markets, the series distributor, American Public Television, said Monday. Starr performs with Ben Harper and Harper’s band in a show taped at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Starr turns 70 on July 7. A week later, Tori Amos is seen performing in front of 100 fans in the Veteran’s Room of New York’s Park Avenue Armory. David Gray, Corinne Bailey Rae, the Black Crowes, Dierks Bentley and the Drive-By Truckers are also lined up for the second season.

Good things are heading your way and you will excel if you stand up and ask for what’s rightfully yours. It may be time to make adjustments to your inner circle of friends. ★★

Nobody likes criticism, but some people all but furnish the rocks to be thrown at them. In today’s deal, North’s bid of four clubs showed a spade fit and a singleton club. At six spades South won the first diamond and cashed the A-K of trumps. He next started the hearts, hoping to discard his diamond losers: He took the ace and queen. When East discarded, South took the king of hearts and ruffed a heart. He cashed the ace of clubs, ruffed a club in dummy and pitched a diamond on the good fifth heart, but West ruffed and cashed a diamond. “Even a 3-2 heart break wouldn’t have helped,” South said.
MUDDLED South asked for some rocks with his comment since he convicted himself of muddled thinking. To make the slam, South must discard two diamonds on the hearts before West can ruff, so South must find West with four hearts. South must start the hearts by cashing the queen. When East follows with the nine, South leads a heart to dummy’s eight as his only chance.
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 5 H 9 D 10 7 6 3 C K Q J 9 8 4 3. With the opponents vulnerable, you deal and open four clubs. The next player overcalls four hearts, your partner bids five clubs and right-hand opponent tries five hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: This is a question but not a problem. Pass. Don’t even think of acting in front of your partner. Once you preempt and describe your hand, he is in charge. Let him judge whether to bid, pass or double. South dealer Neither side vulnerable

Paisley, Gill, Wariner and Skaggs rock the Opry CHRIS TALBOTT AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER
N
ASHVILLE, Tenn. – Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, Steve Wariner and Ricky Skaggs kicked off the Grand Ole Opry’s monthslong 85th birthday celebration Tuesday night with an all-star jam that took on new meaning following an historic flood. The show was already a special occasion with four of country music’s greatest pickers joining together. The night took on added significance though when Opry officials decided to turn it into a benefit for flood relief. “Gosh, they’re so good, so well known for what they’ve done,” Skaggs said of his fellow players in an interview with The Associated Press before the show. “It’s great they called on us to come out and do something like this.” The show was at Ryman Auditorium, a former Opry
home, after flood waters damaged the Opry House, plunging the stage under nearly 4 feet of water and damaging priceless country music artifacts and archives. The Opry never skipped a beat, and the birthday kickoff came off as planned. Each player, all members of the Opry, turned in an individual set before coming together at the end. “We’re going to have a great time!” Wariner said as he kicked off the guitar jam portion of the show with a scorching set that displayed his virtuosity on the guitar. Wariner is one of just four men dubbed a “certified guitar player” by his mentor, Chet Atkins. The 2010 Grammy winner played a few cuts from his tribute to Atkins. He brought several members of the audience to their feet with a fiery rendition of “Blue Angel,” a classic guitar piece that Atkins cut in 1962.
Skaggs said he was excited to play the Ryman stage, the place where he says bluegrass was born. Skaggs told the story of how Bill Monroe was looking around for a new kind of music and hired Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs in the mid-1940s. They used the platform of the Opry show, broadcast across much of the nation on WSM, to take the new kind of music they made to a wide audience for the first time. “That’s one of the fires we try to keep burning,” Skaggs told the AP. “Bluegrass music was really birthed right here on this stage. A lot of people don’t know that.” Skaggs led his band, Kentucky Thunder, through a set of Monroe standards, including a high-energy version of the instrumental “The Bluegrass Stomp,” and finished his set with “You Can’t Shake Jesus,” a cut from his forthcoming gospel album. Opry host Eddie Stubbs said
Gill lost at least 60 guitars and other gear in the flood valued at more than $1 million. He wasn’t the only one. Paisley, who also lost much of his traveling gear just weeks before launching a summer tour, also housed his equipment at Soundcheck, a popular storage and rehearsal space that was submerged. Gill hasn’t talked much about the loss, but has led the flood relief effort, hosting a telethon and donating $100,000. “When I found out I was going to lose a large amount of instruments,” he told a nearsellout crowd, “my wife (Amy Grant) came up to me and said, ‘You know what’s good about you? You only need one to make a living.’ ” Paisley traveled in from the road for his performance, kicking off with his hit “Water” – the centerpiece of his ironically titled H2O Tour. The country superstar paid tribute to Gill, Skaggs and Wariner.

“I feel like the little kid who’s out on the playground right now,” Paisley told the crowd. “His mother just showed up and the big kids are out there playing basketball, and she walks out and says, ‘Let your little brother play. I know he’s not as good as you, but let him play.’” The group came together and traded solos on a spirited version of Merle Haggard’s “Workin’ Man’s Blues” that brought a standing ovation. Skaggs then said Paisley shouldn’t have run himself down during his solo set. “I’m sure I’m speaking for all these other old men up here,” he said. “We think you’re a great guitar player and you don’t have to take a backseat to anybody, boy. We love you and we think you’re doing a great job.” “He says right before he smokes me,” Paisley joked. The group then played the Opry standard “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?”

Review: Zombie franchise dies with ‘Survival’ “Survival of the Dead” is about war – as was the classic that started it all, “Survival of the Dead” 1968’s “Night of the Livreveals that, sadly, ing Dead,” which served George A. Romero’s long- as a reflection of national running zombie franchise disillusionment during may need to take a shotVietnam. These were gun blast to the head. movies that made you Whereas its predecesjump but they also made sors were indictments you think. on consumerism (1978’s While Romero’s sixth “Dawn of the Dead”) or zombie movie shows online narcissism (2007’s flashes of his signature “Diary of the Dead”), at cheeky sense of humor, least they were about it’s never frightening or something. Romero, as suspenseful. “Survival writer and director, says of the Dead” is little CHRISTY LEMIRE AP MOVIE CRITIC
more than a rehashing of the old feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys – albeit one that’s shot like a Western, features Irish families and takes place on an island off the coast of Delaware. An island inhabited by ... zombies. Hey, points for coming up with such a random combination of factors, if nothing else. As always, Romero finds creative methods of doing away with the undead. A bunch of their
severed heads are placed on sticks, where they sit murmuring and grumbling to themselves until they’re picked off, one by one, target-practice style. Another guy gets a fire extinguisher hose shoved up his mouth until his eyes and ears explode from his head. It’s good for a twisted laugh. But mostly, the movie is just a drag. “Survival” picks up where “Diary” left off, with the opportunistic guardsmen stopping the
film students’ Winnebago and stealing their camera equipment and supplies. But with the zombie population increasing, the soldiers find they have few places left to hide. Under the guidance of the super-macho, chainsmoking Sarge (Alan Van Sprang), they head out to Plum Island, which has been touted online as a safe zone. Of course, it’s not. Upon arrival, they find themselves in the middle of a longtime dispute
between the O’Flynns, led by the crafty patriarch Patrick (Kenneth Welsh), and the Muldoons, led by the pious Shamus (Richard Fitzpatrick). The O’Flynns want to take the zombies out by shooting them immediately on sight – which makes sense. The Muldoons, meanwhile, want to preserve them in case there’s a cure for the plague – something to do with religious reasons, as Shamus explains it.

EW YORK – Creating the perfect house is more than a passion for Barbra Streisand. It’s almost primal. The 68-year-old singeractress-director, promoting her upcoming book about design, says her many searches for cherished household objects is a way of compensating for her father’s dying when she was just 15 months old. “The fact I didn’t have a father, I think this has to do with this need of finding something you’re looking for,� Streisand said at this week’s BookExpo America, where she was interviewed by Gayle King on stage at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Streisand’s “My Passion for Design,� a coffee table book, is scheduled to come out in the fall. Wearing black slacks, a black top, platform sandals and a full-length coat, seated before some 2,000 booksellers and other industry officials, Streisand spoke of channeling her exacting
filmmaking style into her domestic life. She showed slides of a mill house and an “elegant barn� she had built and shared anecdotes about various topics, including her “Wizard of Oz� storm cel-
lar, the leather embossed drawers in the barn and a custom-made bed in her Malibu, Calif., house that she sized between a king and a queen. She confided sharing a problem known to many
home owners – being overbilled by contractors – and said her voice was hoarse for years from shouting over buzz saws and other equipment.

HPU’s Roberts bags top honor SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
ROCK HILL, S.C. – High Point University junior outfielder Nate Roberts was named the 2010 Big South Conference Player of the Year, the league announced Wednesday. Roberts was joined on the all-conference first team by senior outfielder Matt Gantner. Freshman pitcher Jaime Schultz earned second-team honors and sophomore infielder Sal Pezzino was named to the all-academic team. In his first season at High Point, Roberts set HPU single-season records in runs scored, onbase percentage and hit by pitch (23). His 84 runs scored and .578 OBP are also Big South records and top-two in the nation. Roberts has a conference-leading .423 bat-
ting average, 18 home runs, 148 total bases, 50 walks and .763 slugging percentage. He has stolen 35 bases with 82 hits and 66 RBIs. The Spring Grove, Ill. native has eight outfield assists. Gantner had a breakout year as a senior, hitting .379 with an Roberts HPU-record 24 doubles to earn a spot on the All-Big South first team. Gantner leads the Big South with 68 RBI and is fifth with a .457 on-base percentage. All eight of Gantner’s career home runs have come in his final season. Schultz, a freshman from Castleton, N.Y., posted a 5-0 record with a team-high 65 strikeouts to earn second-team all-conference hon-
ors. Schultz started the year as a reliever, but moved in to the starting rotation during conference play, posting a 2.70 ERA against Big South opponents. Four of his five wins have come in league play, with victories over Liberty, UNC Asheville, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian. He has had a career-high eight strikeouts in each of his last two starts, a win at Presbyterian and a no-decision at Charleston Southern. Pezzino, a sophomore computer science major, has a 3.82 GPA. He has played in 42 games, making 12 starts this season with a .355 batting average. The Huntington, N.Y. native has 27 hits, 11 RBIs and 10 runs scored to go with six walks and six sacrifice hits. He has a .353 average as a pinch-hitter this season.

The HPGA Memorial Tournament allows golfers to pay tribute to their mentors and friends from the High Point Golf Association. “Most people that play in it, their dads were members of it, and the tournament is for honoring deceased members of the HPGA,” said Bryan Colquitt, president of the HPGA board this year. “The thing about this tournament, everybody always comes back and helps. We’ve got a good crowd, a
lot of donations – it’s been our big tournament 30 years now.” The tournament has grown in stature to the point that it has eclipsed the Bud Kivett Memorial in entries this spring. The Kivett, High Point’s unofficial city championship because it takes place at both Blair Park and Oak Hollow, had about 135 golfers. More than 150 already have signed up for the HPGA Memorial, with Colquitt hoping for another 25 or so to register by late today or Friday. Morning tee times are just about booked for Saturday and Sunday, but afternoon slots can be reserved by calling the Blair Park pro shop at 883-3497. Entry fee for the tournament is $45, which does
not cover the rounds of golf. “I think many people consider this one big, if not bigger, than the Kivett,” Colquitt said. “It’s definitely our biggest tournament of the year.” The second of what could be considered High Point’s four “majors” will be flighted after Saturday’s first round. Colquitt owned the first-round lead last month at the Kivett and became one of the tournament’s youngest winners when he held on for a three-shot victory. The HPGA Championship and second annual Fall Classic will be the third and fourth stops on the way to a “grand slam” if Colquitt can win this weekend as well. “I’m gonna try to,” he said of
winning all four. “That’s my goal.” The competition appears strong. Last year’s winner, Anthony Baker, is back along with the players he held off in the final group for a one-shot win: former Ledford star Jeff Boyan, who finished second, and Wesleyan Christian Academy standout Davis Womble, who was third for a second straight year. Baker fired a 63 in the final round to win his first HPGA Memorial with a 14-under-par 130. Other top competitors back include Steve Sharpe, Tony Byerly and Mike Bivins. Pairings and tee times will appear in Friday morning’s Enterprise. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

aybe it’s me, but it seems the Indianapolis 500 doesn’t stir nearly as much national interest and excitement as it once did. The 94th running of the Indy 500 is set for Sunday, and somehow, it’s not as big a deal as, say, 20 years ago. I remember when the entire month was consumed with Indy buildup and intrigue. Will one of the Unsers win the pole? Will big-name drivers fall victim to bump day?
Will A.J. Foyt get mad and sock somebody in the head? These are just a few of the questions that swirled faster than the cars that crossed the historic row of bricks. Perhaps the lengthy feud between the IRL and CART factions in the 1990s took away some of the luster. Maybe the rise of NASCAR as a national draw stole some of the spotlight. Whatever the case, the Indy 500 may remain a huge event back home in Indiana,
but it doesn’t play nearly as big in Peoria or Phoenix or Archdale or Denton as before. Don’t get me wrong. I’ll probably tune in for the pre-race festivities and I’ll try to catch the finish. I just won’t be glued to the tube for every lap. I don’t think I’ll be alone in that sentiment, either.

Jordan Gross has shed the cast and crutches. The grimace is gone, too. On the field this week for the first time since breaking his right leg in a gruesome injury late last season, the anchor of Carolina’s offensive line is smiling more as part of his new approach to football. His first extended time away from the game due to injury allowed the Panthers left tackle to see the game differently, and contemplate how down he was before his injury about Carolina’s struggles in a non-playoff season. Gross’ plan is simple: Be happy. Set to turn 30 in July, Gross is now considered one of the elite offensive linemen in the NFL.

Johnson looks to resume winning ways at CMS BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
CONCORD – Believe it or not, Jimmie Johnson is looking for his first CocaCola 600 victory in five years. That would have been hard to envision when Johnson dominated at what is now Charlotte Motor Speedway. The track was then known as Lowe’s Motor Speedway for the sponsor that still backs Johnson’s car. The facility became nicknamed “Jimmie’s house” when in a six-race stretch from 2003-05, he posted five victories that included triumphs in all three 600-milers in those years. He came close with a second in 2006. Since then, he’s put up finishes of 10th, 39th and 13th in NASCAR’s longest race and didn’t grace victory lane again at the 1.5-mile track until last fall. He had been a little better in the
fall with a second, 14th and sixth in addition to the win. A bit surprised about Johnson his lack of CMS success, Johnson admitted part of the reason for the drop off in the 600 could be that the team was experimenting in preparation for the fall race, which has been part of the Chase for the Championship since the playoff format’s inception in 2004. “If I was to say anything I guess it’s just that it’s earlier in the year and we’re still trying to refine packages and things like that,” Johnson said. “But I still have a feeling that we come here and we’re competitive, so I’m not sure why those results aren’t any better. In my head, I thought we were in the top five a bunch.” Johnson showed flashes of his best CMS days when
he dominated in winning the second and third segments of the All-Star race on Saturday. He lost the lead when he came out of the pits third at the start of the 10-lap final segment and never recovered. Getting on the inside of Denny Hamlin as they battled for second with two laps to go, Johnson spun and plowed through the infield grass. He finished 13th. “We’re obviously disappointed about where we finished in the AllStar race, but my car was good all night long and I think that’s a good sign for the 600,” Johnson said. “Someone pointed out the other day that we haven’t had the finishes at the 600 that we’ve had in the past. I’m not sure why, but we’re certainly going to do everything we can to change that. I think we’ll be competitive this weekend.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

MYERS TAKES CHARGE Burt Myers finds himself on the different side of the fence than he was last year – and doesn’t mind. Myers dropped way behind leader Tim Brown in the early weeks of Bowman Gray Stadium’s 2009 season and never came close to catching up as Brown won a record-tying eighth championship in the featured Modified division. This time, Myers enjoys the upper hand, largely thanks to his second win of the season and Brown’s 12th-place finish in a 50-lap race. As a result, Myers owns a 19-point lead over Lee Jeffreys, with Brown and Zack Brewer another four back. Jeffreys finished 10th. “The car’s running exceptionally well right now,” Myers said. “We continuously work on it. Some people say, ‘If your car’s running well, why do you keep coming back on Saturday morning to practice?’ Whenever we quit working is whenever everyone else is going to keep working and pass us. So we’re just staying on top of it. We’re trying different things just to keep getting better and better – and right now it’s paying off.” Brown qualified fastest, started third, got the lead from Myers on lap eight and held it two laps before Myers bumped his way past. “We had a fast race car, sat on the pole, and had a good car in the race,” Brown said. “We just got in about three or four wrecks there and got torn up – we just didn’t have a good night. Burt went on and won the race and I got beat
DILLON COMES CLOSE Ty Dillon, the 18-year-old brother of Austin Dillon and grandson of Richard Childress, finished second in the combination race for the NASCAR East and West Series at Iowa Speedway on Sunday. Dillon, a junior at Forsyth Country Day, started 39th after almost wrecking in practice. He drove inside of Max Gresham and Corey LaJoie to take the lead at the start of the final lap. Dillon and Gresham stayed side-by-side, with 17-year-old Gresham edging ahead coming off turn four to win by .039 seconds. “He just got his fender in there,” Dillon said. “But to go from the back to the front, it was a great race for us.” The finish was by far Dillon’s best of the season in three outings in an East Series car.

PARIS (AP) – Apparently, even Roger Federer, with his record 16 Grand Slam titles, was in need of some advice on a wet and windy Wednesday at the French Open. Forced off court by two rain delays, and “pushed,” as he put it, by a player with a career record below .500, Federer turned to Swiss Davis Cup captain Severin Luthi for words of wisdom during the breaks. Told to be more aggressive early, then to use more drop shots late, Federer wound up with a 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-4 victory over Alejandro Falla in the second round. “Those were good things he told me,” said the top-ranked Federer, the French Open’s defending champion for the first time. “Those little details make a crucial difference.” The defending women’s champion, sixth-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova, encountered quite a bit more trouble than Federer did – she faced four match points in the second set against 41st-ranked Andrea Petkovic and was so distraught she whacked herself in the leg with her racket. Petkovic made matters easier with
unforced groundstroke errors on all four of those chances to win, though, and Kuznetsova eventually came all the way back for a 4-6, 7-5, 64 victory – but not before Federer wasting three match points of her own. Other women moving into the third round included No. 2 Venus Williams, who walloped one serve at 128 mph in a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Arantxa Parra Santonja, then effortlessly volleyed aside a series of questions about her lace dress in the postmatch news conference. Also winning were No. 3 Caroline Wozniacki, No. 14 Flavia Pennetta, No. 15 Aravane Rezai, No. 19 Nadia Petrova and Williams’ next opponent, No. 26 Dominika Cibulkova, a semifinalist last year. Like Federer, Kuznetsova discussed tactics with her coach during a 11⁄2hour rain delay, part of an odd day of stops and starts. After three days of sun and temperatures in the 80s, Wednesday’s breezes reached 15 mph, the thermometer dipped into the low
60s, and intermittent showers disrupted the schedule and changed the way the clay played, slowing the surface. Some matches were postponed, and four in men’s singles were stopped because of darkness, involving No. 4 Andy Murray, No. 13 Gael Monfils, No. 17 John Isner and No. 25 Marcos Baghdatis. Monfils’ match against Fabio Fognini in the main stadium was halted at 5-all in the fifth set a few minutes before 10 p.m., but only after all manner of theater. At 4-all, there was a prolonged discussion with tournament referee Stefan Fransson about whether to suspend the match; Fognini didn’t care for the decision to continue and kept arguing, which led to Monfils being awarded a free point. Then, with Monfils barely able to walk, let alone run, Fognini accrued three match points at 5-4, but failed to convert any, and had more choice words for the chair umpire while packing up his equipment for the night. Robin Soderling routed unseeded American Taylor Dent 6-0, 6-1, 6-1.
Woods coming back to defend Memorial title DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) – Tiger Woods will defend his title next week at the Memorial Tournament, marking his return to the PGA Tour after three weeks spent rehabbing a neck injury. Woods withdrew from The Players Championship on May 9 with an inflamed facet joint in his neck. He confirmed on his website Wednesday that he’ll play next week at Muirfield Village, where he has won four times and is the defending champion. The tournament hosted by Jack Nicklaus will also serve as preparation for the
U.S. Open two weeks later at Pebble Beach. Woods won the Memorial from 19992001 and again last year. After a winter of revelations of marital infidelity, Woods returned in April to play in the Masters, where he tied for fourth. He missed the cut at Quail Hollow after rounds of 74 and 79, and was 4 under at The Players Championship before withdrawing with the injury. A day later, he appeared at a news conference in suburban Philadelphia for the AT&T National, which he also won last year. He said at the time,
“A lot is up in the air still, which I don’t like. ... I want to come back and defend at the Memorial and play the U.S. Open and obviously play here. ” Subsequent medical tests diagnosed the extent of the neck injury, which improved with treatment and rest. Woods resumed his normal practice sessions last week. Woods has since confirmed he will play in the British Open at St. Andrews from July 15-18. He has yet to commit to any tournament beyond the Memorial, the next two major championships and
Lakers scrambling on D after Suns even series LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Lakers’ swagger has been reduced to a stagger by consecutive losses in the Western Conference finals. Los Angeles now realizes it can’t defend its NBA title if it can’t defend the aggressive, inventive Suns. Phoenix has scored 113 points per game in the series, which is even heading into the pivotal Game 5 tonight. L.A. won the first two games with stellar offense that disguised two bad defensive games. Kobe Bryant and his teammates still haven’t figured out how to guard the Suns, but Phoenix concocted a zone defense that has thrown the Lakers for a loop.
the AT&T National, from July 1-4 at Aronimink Golf Club. Also, Woods will take part in a challenge event featuring former British Open champions before the 150th tournament begins at St. Andrews. Woods and fellow threetime champion Seve Ballesteros are among the 28 winners who have accepted invitations to play four holes on the Old Course.

Economy shows positive signs in April WASHINGTON (AP) — Orders for large manufactured goods rose sharply last month while sales of new homes surged with help from government incentives, giving the economic recovery a jolt in April. Demand for commercial aircraft lifted requests for durable goods 2.9 percent last month, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That was the best showing in three months and more than double expectations. Excluding transportation, orders fell 1 percent in April. But that came after the March figures were revised to show a 4.8 percent jump. A durable good is a product that is expected to last at least three years. A separate report from Commerce showed new

Official: Comcast deal needs conditions WASHINGTON (AP) — A key member of the Senate Judiciary Committee is calling on federal regulators to attach a long list of conditions if they allow Comcast Corp. to take control of NBC Universal. Sen. Herb Kohl, a Wisconsin Democrat, sent a letter to the Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday urging the agencies to adopt strong conditions “to avoid the risk of injury to competition and consumers” if they clear the deal.
Oil prices jump nearly 3 percent NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices jumped nearly 3 percent Wednesday, riding a rally on Wall Street and a government report that said demand grew for big-ticket goods like refrigerators and airplanes. Benchmark crude for July delivery added $2.05 at $70.80 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Exxon CEO wants industry to regain trust DALLAS (AP) — The CEO of Exxon Mobil Corp. says the oil industry’s biggest challenge is regaining public trust after the BP PLC oil spill in the Gulf. He also insisted deepwater drilling is safe and shouldn’t be regulated more tightly. Rex Tillerson’s comments came after Exxon Mobil’s annual meeting, where shareholders brushed aside a series of environmental resolutions.

single-family homes jumped 14.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 504,000 units. The April gain followed a 29.8 percent surge in March, the biggest monthly increase in 47 years. Housing sales were pushed higher this spring by a stampede of buyers trying to sign sales contracts before tax credits expired on April 30. Historically low mortgage rates also helped fuel purchases. But sales are expected to slump in the coming months as households deal with slow job growth and tight credit. Wall Street appeared to view the government reports favorably. The Dow Jones industrial average rose more than 60 points in early trading. Manufacturing has held steady during the recovery.
U.S. companies are benefiting from rising demand at home and in major export markets. There are concerns that a debt crisis in Europe could derail the global recovery. Financial markets have been roiled in recent weeks by fears that the problems facing Greece could spread to other heavily indebted European countries, such as Spain and Portugal. But economists say the U.S. manufacturing industry may be strong enough to weather Europe’s troubles. “April’s durable goods orders figures demonstrate that, despite the fiscal meltdown in Europe, the recovery in the American manufacturing sector is still gathering momentum,” said Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.
SEC proposing ‘audit trail’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators moved Wednesday toward requiring a uniform system for tracking all securities orders on U.S. exchanges, in hopes of making it easier to investigate market disruptions like the May 6 plunge. The Securities and Exchange Commission proposed, on a 5-0 vote, requiring exchanges to maintain an “audit trail” covering trading orders from start to routing to execution. The regulators say that would make it easier to investigate market disruptions like that of May 6 that sent the Dow Jones industrials down nearly 1,000 points in less than 30 minutes. The new system, however, would be phased in under the SEC proposal and wouldn’t be fully operational until about three
years from now, SEC officials said at a public meeting. The rule could be formally adopted sometime after a public comment period, possibly with changes. More than 19 billion shares changed hands on May 6. Requirements for keeping “audit trails” vary among exchanges and markets, making it hard for regulators to get their hands on current order data. The technology used by regulators for market oversight and surveillance hasn’t kept pace with fast-evolving and splintering markets, where sleek electronic trading platforms compete with the traditional exchanges and powerful computers give traders a splitsecond edge in buying or selling stocks.
FDA probes J&J complaints WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal health regulators are investigating hundreds of consumer complaints involving children’s medicines recalled by Johnson & Johnson last month, according to a congressional memo. The Food and Drug Administration has not directly linked any of the reports to flaws with the company’s products. J&J recalled more than 40 varieties of children’s cold medicines last month after FDA inspectors discovered a slew of manufacturing
problems at a Pennsylvania facility. The company’s third recall in the past year triggered a flurry of criticism from Washington lawmakers, who will question company management at a hearing Thursday. A spokeswoman for J&J declined Wednesday to comment on the congressional memo. Late Tuesday the company posted a statement on its Web site saying it would restore its public image by restructuring management and overhauling manufacturing operations.

Dow dips below 10,000 NEW YORK (AP) — A drop in the euro set off a lateday slide in stocks Wednesday and sent the Dow Jones industrial average to its first close below 10,000 in nearly four months. The Dow, up 135 points in morning trading, ended down about 69. It was the eighth drop for the Dow in 10 days. Wednesday’s trading extended a streak of volatility since stocks went to their highest level of the year in late April. The late reversal underscored how jittery traders are about Europe. They are worried that heavy debt loads in European countries and more rounds of cost-cutting will hamper a recovery there, which could spread quickly to other regions. The euro fell in late trading, pulling major stock indexes lower, following a Financial Times report that China is reviewing its holdings of European government bonds because of the crisis in government debt there. China has been seeking ways to diversify its massive foreign exchange holdings out of dollars for some time. However any indication that it was losing confidence in the euro, leading it to sell some portion of its European bond holdings, would deliver a major blow to the European currency. The Dow fell 69.30, or 0.7 percent, to 9,974.45. It was the first close below 10,000 since Feb. 8 when the Dow finished at 9,908. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 6.08.

EU seeks bank levy to prevent bailouts BRUSSELS (AP) – Banks should pay a levy to help prevent future bailouts and shield taxpayers from the burden of multibillion euro (dollar) rescues, the European Union’s top financial chief proposed Wednesday. European governments are currently battling a debt crisis that has caused the euro to slide sharply against the dollar. The crisis was partly caused by the huge price states paid to rescue their financial systems over the past two years. EU Financial Services Commissioner Michel Barnier said Wednesday it is “not acceptable” that taxpayers should pay for
costs that should be borne by banks. He suggested that banks should pay a charge toward a fund in their country that would help pay for the costs of unwinding a bank on the edge of collapse. Such costs can include financing for bridging loans, transferring assets, creating a “bad bank” to take on problem assets and paying for lawyers, administrators and advisers. Fees charged by law firms and others working on the messy unwinding of Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers have reportedly amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars.
The EU’s proposed levy would not pay directly to bail out or rescue banks from bankruptcy. Rather, it would pay for the creation of a “resolution fund” and rules to handle bank insolvency may allow troubled banks to seek help at an earlier stage and avoid the need for state help to keep them afloat. “We’re not talking here about last-minute rescue or bankruptcy, we’re talking about well before the disaster,” said Barnier, calling for regulators to more closely watch banks and intervene – and even demand management change – if their collapse was likely to pose a risk to the financial system.
Regulator criticizes Kraft LONDON (AP) – The British agency which regulates business takeovers on Wednesday criticized U.S. food company Kraft Inc. for promising to keep a Cadbury factory open, then changing its mind after taking control of the British chocolate company. The Takeover Panel Executive said Kraft did not have a reasonable basis to believe that it could keep the Somerdale plant near Keynsham in southwestern England going, and should not have made the promise. Kraft said it was pleased that the Takeover Panel concluded that the company acted in good faith, and said it would not appeal the decision. Kraft, based in Northfield, Illinois, paid $17.5 billion to gain control of Cadbury. Cadbury announced in 2007 that it intended to close the factory in 2009 and 2010, and move production in Poland. When Kraft announced in September
that it was considering making an offer for Cadbury, it said it believe it could keep the plant open – a statement repeated several times in subsequent months. The Kraft decision to close the plant only increased resentment of the deal in Britain, where some were dismayed to see a British corporate icon sold into foreign hands. “Kraft should not have made the statements in the form in which it did in circumstances where it did not know the details of Cadbury’s phased closure of Somerdale and its investment in plant and machinery to make products for the U.K. in its new facilities in Poland,” the panel said. “Without this information, Kraft’s belief, no matter how well-intentioned, that it could continue to operate the Somerdale facility on a commercial basis was, in the opinion of the Executive, not a belief which Kraft had a reasonable basis for holding.”

Haiti knowledge helps Florida boy win geography bee WASHINGTON (AP) – An eighth grader from Florida won the National Geographic Bee on Wednesday with the help of a question about Caribbean neighbor Haiti. Aadith Moorthy, 13, of Palm Harbor, Fla., – who was put on the spot during introductions when host Alex Trebek asked him to sing a Carnatic tune from his native India – came out on top as 10 boys faced off in a battle of world knowledge. He wins a $25,000 college scholar-
ship and a trip to the Galapagos Islands. The final question asked for the largest city in northern Haiti, which was renamed following Haiti’s independence from France. The answer was Cap-Haitien. Moorthy had it and gave a small fist pump. “I feel great,” Moorthy said shortly after. “The mission is accomplished.” His father, Satyamoorthy, gave him a hug and bowed slightly before his geography whiz son.

Scandal-plagued Fergie attends NYC book fair NEW YORK (AP) – Speaking to booksellers and librarians Wednesday at a New York trade show where she was promoting her children’s books, the Duchess of York referred obliquely to the influence-peddling scandal that has sparked a firestorm of bad press. “It was quite difficult for me to get to Javits Center
this morning,” Sarah Ferguson said at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. “One or two people in the way. But then you might have read that.” A British tabloid reported Sunday the ex-royal was caught on video AP offering an undercover reporter access to her Sarah Ferguson, Duchess former husband, Prince of York, speaks in New Andrew, for $724,000.
