City starts staggered recycling collection BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Beginning Tuesday, you may or may not hear the rumbling of the recycling truck moving through your neighborhood. It all depends on where you live. High Point this week makes the switch to picking up recyclables once every two weeks instead of once a week. Recyclable collection will continue to occur weekly, but the areas that are collected are staggered on an every-other-week basis. Richard McMillan, assistant public services director, says the move is a “cost saving measure.” “We went from 14 employees to three who will operate the automated trucks and be able to pick up the same amount as before,” McMillan said. Initially, the Public Services

Department debated on whether to buy 64-gallon carts as opposed to the 95-gallon receptacles. They realized the cost difference was minimal between the two and decided to go big. “Residents have raised complaints that they will be able to fill the new carts within a week,” McMillan said. “The carts are five times the size of the old bins. The only thing we can suggest is that residents compact boxes and other items that are able to be broken down to create more space.” The carts are a must because of the automated trucks. A single driver operates the truck, which has a mechanical arm on the side that grabs the carts and dumps the recyclables into the top of the truck. This increases the safety of employees, who no longer have to ride on the rear platforms or manually lift the containers. It also was debated on whether

AT A GLANCE

to place stickers on residents’ carts to notify them of their collection date, but the City Council decided against it. “We felt it was a waste of the taxpayers’ money to invest in these stickers,” McMillan said. “It will probably take the first month or so, but residents will get the hang of it.” Residents may keep their old recycling bins, but they will not be able to be used for recycling pickup. The 95-gallon carts are the only receptacles that will be collected.

Businesses that are able to contain their recyclables in two carts will have access to the city pickup but may face a fee in the future. Discussions still are under way among council members on whether or not businesses that participate in the pickup will be charged. One thing to be wary of come collection day is the placement of your recycling cart. Place the bin within a foot of the curb or street and keep it at a 3-foot distance from your mailbox, poles or any other object that could hinder collection. Also, make sure the handle on your cart faces your house. Those who don’t comply with these guidelines will find an orange tag attached to the container explaining why the waste was not collected.

There’s no average day for surgeons Before you read...

The High Point Medical Society recently held its 16th annual mini-internship program which invites members of the community to get a glimpse of what goes on inside a health-care facility. Participants in the program followed two surgeons for two days, observing them in an operating room setting and in a clinical setting. According to the society, the experience allows the interns to see the concerns, joys and frustrations that occur in the medical care field. Staff writer Pam Haynes participated in the internship program. The following stories are her accounts of the experience. BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – There’s no telling who Dr. Robert Leinbach will be operating on when he arrives at the High Point Regional Surgery Center at 7 a.m. When the head and neck surgeon pushes through the double-door entrance to the operating room, sometimes there’s a 10month-old boy lying on the table who needs tubes put in his ears. The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes. Other times, it’s a woman in her early 40s who needs the thyroid gland in her throat removed because of a suspicious growth that could be cancerous. The procedure can take two hours, with Leinbach standing on his feet the entire time. But, whoever it is, the whirling scene of nurses in purple scrubs pushing

trays of operating tools through the halls while surgeons such as Leinbach move from one operating room to the next are all there for one reason – to save or preserve a life. “I really enjoy operating,” Leinbach said. “But the relationships that develop with patients are the best part of my job. Patients put a great deal of trust into their physicians, and I take that trust very seriously.” There’s no average day for Leinbach, who’s worked for HPRMS for five years. Depending on the surgeries scheduled that day, he could finish anywhere between 2 and 5 p.m. On busier days, he performs five or six surgeries, finishing around 5 p.m. He then catches up on paperwork until a hospital meeting at 7 p.m. The paperwork is his least favorite part of the job. “It is very important to document every patient encounter in the chart. This can get very tedious,” he said. “We’re also responsible for putting in the proper procedural and diagnosis codes to later submit to insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. This can be confusing as the health care environment changes and becomes more complex.” The Winston-Salem native said the best part of his job is using his gift of steady hands to save or improve patients’ lives. That gift wasn’t something he was always aware that he had. “I was not the traditional student going from undergraduate school to medical school,” said Leinbach, who majored in economics in undergraduate school. “I took some time off following undergraduate and worked in Colorado as an

With the help of a physician’s assistant, he’s able to see all of the patients, many of them diagnosed with breast cancer, update their medications and schedule any needed surgeries with plenty of time left to go out for a bite to eat. “Some days are just busier than others,” Biesecker said about his now parttime career in surgery for Cornerstone Health Care. “I operate two days a week and see patients in my office one day a week since working a part-time schedule.

DURHAM – No more staycations: More North Carolinians are taking trips this year for Memorial Day weekend. Travel in the Carolinas is estimated to increase by 3 percent this year from Memorial Day weekend 2009, according to AAA. An estimated 775,000

North Carolina and 380,000 South Carolina motorists are expected to be on the roads, the result of the economy improving, good weather and a 13-cent drop in gasoline prices since peaking on May 7. “Travel decisions are planned at the last minute more than in the past,” said David Parsons, president and CEO of AAA Carolinas.

Bat exposes one person to rabies ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – A bat captured at Lowdermilk Street in southeast Greensboro this week tested positive for rabies, health officials reported. At least one person was exposed to the rabid bat, according to the Department of Public Health. The case is the ninth confirmed case of animal rabies in Guilford County this year. People should be careful when exposed to bats, because bat bites are fairly hard to detect, according to experts. People may not notice that they have been bitten. The U.S. Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention recommends that any bat found in a residence where a young person or disabled person lives be captured and tested for rabies. Although most bats are not rabid, only experts should capture them. State law requires rabies vaccinations for all domestic animals 4 months old and older. Pregnant pets should not be vaccinated. The law applies even if pets are kept indoors. Barnyard pets such as goats, horses and cows also should be vaccinated against rabies for their protection. Overall, there is a 60 percent chance that

ELYRIA, Ohio (AP) – Police in northeast Ohio say they’re looking for thieves who stole a wheelchair ramp from a woman’s home, and a local business is offering to replace it with a free upgrade. Thirty-four-year-old Cordelia Simpson says she discovered Thurs-

ter Drive. A physician’s assistant assesses some of the patients, though Biesecker is the only doctor at the office that doesn’t have an assistant assigned to him every day. “I’m just old-fashioned that way,” he said. Sometimes, the diagnosis is good. In this woman’s case, a lumpectomy procedure, which removes a small portion of the breast tissue, performed by Biesecker seems to have removed all suspicious cells. “I love to provide surgical care and see the final result,” he said. Other times, when Biesecker schedules a lumpectomy for another woman for the first time, unsure of whether or not she actually has breast cancer yet, the worried look on their faces and the potential for bad news can bring out the hardest part of his job. “Discussing with a family a diagnosis like that (cancer) can be devastating for them to accept,” he said.

in High Point, I was on call every other day and every other weekend. That was typically an 80- to 90-hour work week.” When it comes to knowing how a career as a surgeon is right for someone, Biesecker says to ask a simple question: Why would you want to go into the health-care profession? If your answer is the same as his, and you have a lot of stamina to handle those long nights and oncall weekends, you might have what it takes. “It’s just the need to provide care to my fellow man,” he said. “The privilege to develop trust from a patient which allows me to care for them.” Now averaging closer to 30 hours a week, Biesecker often begins his morning by treating women who have had breast cancer or who have had suspicious growths show up on their mammograms. “The disease seems to be running rampant,” he says, just before entering a room where a breast cancer survivor is visiting the Cornerstone Health Care office on Westches-

Trooper who killed kitten wants his job back MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A new memorial wall for the United States Army Special Operations Command is unveiled Thursday at Fort Bragg.

Army memorial makes room for all MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

FORT BRAGG – The Army unveiled a larger memorial wall Thursday to its special operations soldiers who have died in the line of duty, opening more space for names of those killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. When the Army originally dedicated a special operations memorial in 1995, most of the 804 names it bore were of soldiers killed in Vietnam. Now, with the addition of 35 new names

of those killed in the past year, the new wall honors 1,113 soldiers, including 255 killed since the start of the war in Afghanistan. The soldiers who died had been extraordinary and had volunteered repeatedly to get into their elite units, said Lt. Gen. John F. Mulholland, leader of U.S. Army Special Operations Command, based at Fort Bragg. “When you are in this kind of war for nine years, you don’t stay in this kind of formation unless you have a pas-

sion for it,� Mulholland said. “And these were passionate men. These were men who loved what they did and knew they were making a difference in the most dangerous missions around the world on behalf of all of us, on behalf of this great country.� Mulholland was speaking to an audience that included more than 400 members of the families of the dead soldiers: mothers and young wives in sunglasses that helped them hide their tears, fathers trying to

Commanders of the various Army Special Operations units – which include aviation, civil affairs and psychological operations as well as the better-known Special Forces – placed wreaths in front of the wall. As an officer read the names of the recently fallen soldiers, a bell chimed with each name.

RALEIGH – A state trooper who wanted to stop animals from climbing on his vehicles trapped his neighbor’s 5-month-old kitten and shot it to death. Former Trooper Shawn C. Houston was charged in October with cruelty to animals and injury to real property, both misdemeanors, according to court records. The Highway Patrol dismissed him in January. Houston, 39, declined to discuss his firing this week. But in an appeal of his dismissal filed May 10, the former trooper contends that he was treated unfairly and that he deserves his job back. The court filing says Houston was bothered by something climbing on vehicles parked at his home in Granite Falls, a small community about 170 miles west of the Triangle. He had also caught a glimpse of “an unknown animal� that jumped out at him “during the hours of darkness,� according to his appeal. The trooper, who said he was concerned for the safety of his three young sons, baited a steel trap with ham and captured a small domestic cat. When Houston tried to remove the animal, which did not have tags, it scratched him, according to his appeal. Then he killed it.

“The Petitioner did not know if the cat had rabies or any other disease,� the summary filed by Houston says. “The cat was hissing and growling at Petitioner and Petitioner shot the cat.� Next-door neighbor Andrea Evans said the cat’s name was Rowdy. The kitten, which was mostly white and orange, was a birthday present to her son. Evans said Rowdy could be mischievous, as kittens sometimes are. But the trooper’s tale of a wild and scary beast doesn’t square with the demeanor of her family’s kitty, she said. “He was really very sweet,� Evans said. “He was never aggressive, even at the vet.� Rowdy slept inside the house at night but was let out to play in the mornings. The Evanses and the Houstons live in a rural area, a couple of miles from the closest stoplight. Evans said people largely keep to themselves. When Rowdy didn’t come home, the Evans family trekked around the neighborhood to see whether anyone had seen him. When she learned what Houston had done, Evans called the Alexander County Sheriff’s Department. A deputy responded and interviewed the off-duty trooper, before telling Evans there wasn’t much he could do.

Flotilla bound for Gaza delayed, loses members JERUSALEM – Ships carrying 10,000 tons of supplies and hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists to blockaded Gaza were being held up near Cyprus on Saturday, as organizers tried to get nearly two dozen high-profile supporters on board. The flotilla was to set sail toward Gaza on Saturday afternoon, and approach the territory today, about 24 hours behind schedule, said Greta Berlin, one of the activists.

UK Treasury minister resigns amid scandal LONDON – Britain’s Treasury minister has resigned after admitting he claimed tens of thousands of pounds (dollars) from taxpayers to rent rooms in homes owned by his partner. David Laws resigned as Chief Treasury Secretary on Saturday and will be replaced by fellow Liberal Democrat Danny Alexander. Laws apologized Friday for channeling the funds to his long-term partner, James Lundie. He said he would immediately pay back the money, which the Daily Telegraph newspaper said totaled 40,000 pounds.

Vatican abuse prosecutor: Culprits going to hell VATICAN CITY – The Vatican prosecutor of clerical sex abuse warned perpetrators on Saturday that they would suffer damnation in hell that would be worse than the death penalty. The Rev. Charles Scicluna, a Maltese priest who is a top official at the Vatican’s morality office, led a special “make amends� prayer service in St. Peter’s Basilica. Seminarians and other pontifical university students in Rome wanted to gather for prayers for the victims of clergy abuse and for the healing of the church’s wounds from the scandal over its concealment of abuse.

Malawi’s leader pardons gay couple BLANTYRE, Malawi – Malawi’s president on Saturday pardoned a gay couple who had been sentenced to 14 years in prison and ordered their release but insisted that homosexuality was still illegal in his conservative southern African nation. President Bingu wa Mutharika announced the pardon on “humanitarian grounds only� during a press conference with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in Lilongwe, the capital.

LONDON (AP) – It was black and strapless, with a sassy sequined flounce at the bodice and a gloriously full, swishy skirt. The dress was, Lady Diana Spencer thought, so grown-up, just right for her first official engagement after the announcement she was to marry Prince Charles. But when photographs emerged of the then 19year-old Diana emerging from a limousine at a March, 1981 charity event – all creamy shoulders and ample decolletage

Israel condemns call for nuke-free Mideast UNITED NATIONS – Arab nations finally won agreement from the United States and the other nuclear powers to take the first step toward banning nuclear weapons from the Middle East. But the Israeli government rejected the resolution Saturday, calling it “deeply flawed and hypocritical.� Although the U.S. joined the 188 other member nations of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty on Friday in giving a green light, senior U.S. officials appeared to backtrack afterward, setting several conditions.

Police: Lahore attackers were Pakistani Taliban LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) – Militants who attacked a minority sect, killing 93 people in the country’s east, belonged to the Pakistani Taliban and were trained in a lawless border region where the U.S. wants Islamabad to mount an army operation, police said Saturday. The revelation could help the U.S. persuade Pakistan that rooting out the various extremist groups in North Waziristan is in Islamabad’s own interest. Up to now, Pakistan has resisted, in part because it says its army is stretched thin in operations elsewhere. Suspicion that the man accused of a failed bombing attempt in New York’s Times Square earlier this

month may have received aid from the Pakistani Taliban has added to U.S. urgency about clearing North Waziristan. Local TV channels have reported the Pakistani Taliban, or an affiliate, had claimed responsibility for Friday’s attacks in Pakistan’s second-largest city.

Senior police officer Akram Naeem in Lahore said the interrogation of one of the arrested suspects revealed that the gunmen were involved with the Pakistani Taliban. The 17-year-old suspect told police the attackers had trained in the North Waziristan tribal region.

– there was a minor scandal over the revealing cut. According to Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed the ball gown with her husband David, they didn’t realize the furor the dress would cause. “She just looked fantastic. At that time, she was curvy. Not fat in any way, but she had cleavage – we love cleavage. And she looked great in this dress,� Emanuel said in an interview Friday. “We in no way expected there to be such a reaction. And I think from that moment on, Diana

became a fashion icon.� The dress had been missing for years until David Emanuel recently discovered it in a plastic bag at his home. Along with other garments worn by Diana and designed by the Emanuels, it is to be auctioned off June 8 in a sale that includes the silk chiffon blouse chosen for the Princess of Wales’ official engagement portrait by Lord Snowdon, and the calico prototype used to fit her famous ivory wedding gown.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – U.S. military investigators found that “inaccurate and unprofessional� reporting by U.S. operators of a Predator drone was responsible for a missile strike that killed 23 Afghan civilians in February, according to a report released Saturday. Release of the scathing report is part of a U.S. effort to counter rising public anger over civilian deaths, which threatens to undermine the campaign against the Taliban at a critical juncture in the nearly nine-year war. Twelve other civilians including a woman and three children were wounded in the missile strike, the report said. Four American officers – two described as senior – received careerdamaging reprimands, the U.S. command said in a statement. The top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, called on the Air Force to investigate the actions of the Predator crew. “Our most important mission here is to protect the Afghan people,� said McChrystal, who had apologized to President Hamid Karzai shortly after the attack. “Inadvertently killing or injuring civilians is heartbreaking and undermines their trust and confidence in our mission. We will do all we can to regain that trust.�

Obama: Memorial Day is time to honor troops WASHINGTON – More than just barbecues and family time, Memorial Day is the chance to honor members of the military who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of their country, President Barack Obama says. Obama, who has sent thousands of troops into war in Afghanistan, used his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday to reflect on what the nation owes those men and women who died in uniform. Honor them with words and deeds, the commander in chief said.

Video gone from phone activist used in caper NEW ORLEANS – Conservative activist-videographer James O’Keefe said video he shot of conversations with staffers of U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu was deleted when his cell phone was returned after he and three others pleaded guilty to charges in a caper he orchestrated at the Democrat’s New Orleans office. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office said Saturday that U.S. Magistrate Daniel Knowles III ordered the footage removed. O’Keefe made the claim Friday in a posting on his Twitter site. O’Keefe, 25, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to misdemeanor charges of entering federal property under false pretenses.

DA finds no crime around Palin contract MODESTO, Calif. – A district attorney has cleared a California university of intentionally destroying documents about an upcoming speech by Sarah Palin. The Stanislaus County District Attorney also found no evidence of wrongdoing by students who obtained part of Palin’s contract. The former vice presidential candidate is scheduled to give a paid speech June 25 at the California State University, Stanislaus. It is not known how much Palin will be compensated.

Oregon man with Ohio ID is Bulgarian PORTLAND, Ore. – The mystery over the real identity of an Oregon man calling himself Jason Robert Evers has been solved – he was born in Bulgaria, not Ohio. A family that hosted Doitchin Krasev in Virginia told The Associated Press Saturday they were shocked to find out he had been living under an assumed name. Michael Horowitz says Krasev’s parents wanted a better life for their son. So they sent him to live with Horowitz and his wife. But after two years, Krasev dropped out of college and disappeared without contacting his host family or his parents in Bulgaria. He assumed a name belonging to an Ohio boy killed during a kidnapping in 1982. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

BP’s ‘top kill’ fails to plug Gulf oil leak ROBERT, La. (AP) – BP said Saturday it failed in its latest attempt to plug the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico with mud and cement. BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said the company determined the “top kill” method had failed after studying it for three days. The method involved pumping heavy drilling mud into a crippled well 5,000 feet underwater. “We have not been able to stop the flow,” Suttles said. “We have made the decision to move onto the next option.” BP says it’s already preparing for the next attempt to stop the leak. Under the new plan, BP would use robot submarines to cut off the damaged riser from which the oil is leaking, and then try to cap it with a containment valve. The new attempt would take four days to complete. “We’re confident the job will work but obviously we can’t guarantee success,” Suttles said of the new plan. Since the top kill began Wednesday, BP has pumped huge amounts of mud into the well at a rate of up to 2,700 gallons per minute, but it’s unclear how much is staying there. A robotic camera

On Saturday, the substance spewing from the well appeared to be oil, experts said. BP has also tried several times to shoot assorted junk into the well’s crippled blowout preventer to clog it up and force the mud down the well bore. That, too, has met with limited success.

Immigration law protesters march on Arizona Capitol PHOENIX (AP) – Thousands of people from around the country marched to the Arizona state Capitol on Saturday to protest the state’s tough new crackdown on illegal immigration. Opponents of the law suspended their boycott against Arizona and bused in protesters from around the country. Organizers said the demonstration could bring in as many as 50,000 people. Midtown Phoenix buzzed with protesters carrying signs and American flags. Dozens of police officers were on standby along the route of the five-mile march, and helicopters hovered overhead. Protesters braved temperatures that were forecast to reach 95 degrees by mid-afternoon. Some used umbrellas or cardboard signs to protect their faces from the sun.

porters after he spoke at a high school graduation ceremony in Denver, echoed what Suttles said and said officials were evaluating the next step. He said the relief well was the ultimate solution, but said something was needed to stop the spill until then. “We’re doing everything with the best minds in the world to make sure that happens,” he said. The oil spill began after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded in April,

killing 11 people. It’s the worst spill in U.S. history – exceeding even the Exxon Valdez disaster in 1989 off the Alaska coast – dumping between 18 million and 40 million gallons into the Gulf, according to government estimates. BP had pegged the top kill’s chances of success at 60 to 70 percent. The company says the best way to stop the flow of oil is by drilling relief wells, but those won’t be completed until August.

Alabama Democrats may nominate 1st black for governor MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) – A well-funded black congressman has a shot at becoming the first African-American to win the Democratic nomination for governor of Alabama, even without the backing of the state’s traditional civil rights organizations. But a victory for Rep. Artur Davis in Tuesday’s primary may be a shortlived milestone. In a state that has gone Republican in five of the

last six votes for governor, GOP candidates may draw more voters and Davis are jostling for attention, particularly Tim James. The son of a twoterm governor, James has aired ads against illegal immigrants that set off fierce Internet debate and gave new momentum to his campaign.

GOP Senate hopes ride with tea party activists

1,000th GI killed in Afghan war was on 2nd tour KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) – The 1000th American serviceman killed in Afghanistan had already fallen once to a hidden explosive. Marine Cpl. Jacob C. Leitch was driving his Humvee over a bomb in Iraq that punched the dashboard radio into his face and broke his leg in two places. He spent two painful years recovering from that 2007 blast. The 24-year-old had written

letters from his hospital bed begging to be put back on the front lines, and died less than a month into a desperately sought second tour. The Texas Marine’s death marks a grim milestone in the Afghanistan war. He was killed this week when he stepped on a land mine in Helmand province that ripped off his right arm.

WASHINGTON (AP) – In Kentucky, the Republican Senate candidate stumbles over a question on racial segregation. In Connecticut, the party’s hopes rest on an executive who banked millions on female wrestlers in skimpy outfits. In Nevada, one contender wants to phase out Social Security and another suggests trading chickens for medical care. Welcome to the 2010 battle for the Senate. It’s midway through President Barack Obama’s term, and high unemployment, an outbreak of anti-incumbent fever and political history are pointing to strong Republican gains in the fall. Yet to a degree unimaginable a few months ago, the party’s fate is tied to conserva-

tives with tea party support, scant or no political experience, and views or backgrounds that are largely unknown to statewide electorates. “A tsunami of conservatism is coming in waves across our country,� says Sharron Angle, a tea party-endorsed candidate in Nevada running for the nomination to oppose Democrat Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader. “My message is, this is what people want.� Democrats claim otherwise. “The mainstream in their party is being expelled by the extreme,� says Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who heads the Democratic campaign committee. “That trend is hurting the Republicans.�

Leicht is the 1,000th U.S. serviceman killed in the Afghan combat, nearly nine years after the first casualty was also a soldier from the San Antonio area. “He said he always wanted to die for his country and be remembered,� said Jesse Leicht, his younger brother. “He didn’t want to die having a heart attack or just being an old man. He wanted to die for something.�

Ken Maurice works on the Vermont Fallen Heroes Global War on Terror monument in Barre, Vt.

Vermont plans 2nd memorial for wars BARRE, Vt. (AP) – With its carved images of falling maple leaves, a rifle-toting citizen soldier and the state Capitol, a war monument taking shape under the hand of granite sculptor Ken Maurice has Vermont written all over it. It should: Vermont has suffered a terrible toll in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, losing 36 men who were either native sons, transplanted ones or former cadets at Norwich University military college. The monument isn’t in place yet, but will be soon and will join one built in 2008 by the National Guard. Today, the GIs’ family members will help break ground on the Vermont Fallen Heroes Global War on Terror Memorial, to be built at the state veterans’ cemetery in Randolph Center. Funded with private donations raised largely by the families, the $350,000 monument is aimed at marking both the sacrifice of those who served and the heartbreak of the loved ones left behind. “I feel like all 36 of them are my son,� said Marion Gray, 63, of East Calais, the stepmother of late Army National Guard Sgt. Jamie Gray. “This is a way to help us heal. Our main goal, all along, was “lest they be forgotten.�

Bandleader ends 18 years with Leno

Man sues FAMOUS, FABULOUS, FRIVOLOUS --Beyonce, claims video shoot trespassing LOS ANGELES (AP) – A man living across from a video shoot for Beyonce Knowles in the Hollywood Hills is suing the singer for nuisance and trespassing, claiming his privacy was invaded by unnecessary noise and crowds. Court documents show Philip Markowitz filed the lawsuit seeking $25,000 on Friday in Los Angeles against Knowles, a liability company and Dina Ciccotello, a production coordinator for the video shoot for “Why Don’t You Love Me.” Markowitz claims his expectations of privacy in his upscale neighborhood were “shattered” on March 26 when the crew came in the morning and didn’t leave until 11 p.m.

NEW YORK (AP) – It’s a wrap for “Tonight Show” bandleader Kevin Eubanks after 18 years backing up host Jay Leno. “I don’t think we’ve ever had an argument,” Leno said, bidding Eubanks farewell on Friday’s show. “We’ve had a lot of fun.” Eubanks Eubanks, whose duties included comic sidekick to Leno as well as guitarist, had been aboard since Leno took over NBC’s “Tonight” in 1992.

Bowersox says she forsees a future that includes diverse music, drama and diabetes advocacy, adding that she’d love to work with fellow diabetic Bret Michaels. The dreadlocked single mom from Toledo, Ohio, says she’ll be meeting with record executives next week to discuss her musical future.

Nothing short of its name

Pop star Ke$ha sued by former managers in NYC NEW YORK (AP) – Ke$ha’s former managers say the pop star squeezed them out of her career under pressure from hit songwriter Dr. Luke, but her lawyer said Friday she simply exercised her rights to fire the managers when they didn’t perform. Ke$ha, who had the No. 1 song in the country with “TiK ToK” earlier this year, signed up with ex-managers DAS Communications Inc. when she was an up-andcomer in 2006. Their agreement called for her to pay the New York-based firm 20 percent of her music income, but it gave her the op-

tion of ending the relationship if DAS didn’t get her a major-label record deal in a year, acKe$ha cording to a copy of the contract attached to a lawsuit DAS filed Wednesday. A year later, there was no deal. DAS says Ke$ha waived the deadline, and the firm went on to line up a deal for her with Warner Bros. Records in 2008 – until Dr. Luke interfered with that arrangement and “induced, intimidated and convinced Ke$ha” to cut ties to DAS in September 2008.

HIGH POINT – The vision that members of the Allen Jay Alumni Association had when they began searching through records and information on the old high school several years ago may come to fruition with the group’s first official meeting next month. The alumni meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. on June 5 at Springfield Friends Meeting. Those who wish to attend the meeting do not have to be members of the association. The group gained nonprofit status in 2009 with the mission to preserve the memory of Allen Jay High School, which opened in 1928 and closed as a high school in 1979, said Becky Coltrane, a member of the group’s board of directors. “It feels good (to be having the meeting),” Coltrane said. “We’re now letting people know that we aren’t just here in name.” On the meeting’s agenda are three items. Members will vote on which project they want to complete at Allen Jay Elementary School, the only school that still bears the name of a Quaker minister who came to the area after the Civil War to teach and build schools. During his stay in North Carolina, he established 67 schools. Coltrane said it was important for the group to continue to support schools that bear the Allen Jay name through annual service projects. The group also will discuss contributing to a Kay Yow memorial at North Carolina State University. Yow had her first teaching and coaching job at the high school, where she coached the girl’s basketball team. Finally, an update will be given on the school’s rock gymnasium, which still stands. An application has been submitted to have the building placed on the state’s historical preservation list. The application will be reviewed by the state in June, Coltrane said. “We’ll use these (yearly) meetings as a way to update our graduates’ contact information, find volunteers for projects and that sort of thing,” Coltrane added. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Doolittle led 16 B-25 bombers launched from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet deep in Japanese-occupied terrority on a bombing raid on military targets in Japan. The pilots planned to land in China. All of the aircraft involved in the bombing were lost, and 11 crewmen were either killed or captured. “Jimmy Doolittle was a maverick, a daredevil, a risk-taker,” he said. “Few people knew that the risks he took were well-calculated and had a good chance of success.” Other highlights of the observance included a gun salute in memory of fallen military personnel by the Randolph County Honor Guard. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Trinity planners delay decision on rezoning for service station BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – A Trinity property owner has yet to clear his first hurdle in an effort to open an automobile service station in the city. Jimmy Allred, who currently is under contract for the properties on Trinity Road, made the request to the Trinity Planning and Zoning Board last week. Adam Stumb, Trinity planning and zoning administrator, requested the board consider the use of the properties located at 11936 and 19910 Trinity Road for heavy manufacturing conditional zoning. The properties are currently zoned highway commercial. Allred requested the rezoning to locate a service station on the site. His proposed business would service trucks and cars while main-

taining a presentable facade to the public, he said. Allred plans to “plant trees to dress up the property and create a buffer between the business and the road.” He also assured the board “there will be no storage of junk vehicles, and I plan to build a fenced area for cars that are left overnight.” Allred added that the property also would be well-lit for security purposes. He said he hopes the business might one day have access to Interstate 85. The board tabled the rezoning request until the next meeting when site plans will be made available. In other business, the board denied a request from a local church representative to install a storage unit at the church. Max Nance with Unity Wesleyan Church said the church has encountered theft issues in the past,

and with the upcoming purchase of new lawn care equipment, members wanted to ensure the security of the equipment. Nance presented the idea to “purchase a steel storage container that would make it more difficult for thieves to break-in as opposed to an aluminum shed.” Planning board members said steel containers like the one proposed by Nance are meant for temporary storage only. An ordinance already is in place that states that those containers are allowed for a maximum of 30 days before they must be removed. “I’m opposed to the use of these units,” said Chad Long, chairman of the planning board. “We don’t want to change the ordinance and allow these units to be used.” editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

A 1991 photo shows actor Dennis Hopper. The a Hollywood actor-director died Saturday.

Dennis Hopper dies at 74 LOS ANGELES (AP) – Dennis Hopper, the high-flying Hollywood wild man whose memorable and erratic career included an early turn in “Rebel Without a Cause,” an improbable smash with “Easy Rider” and a classic character role in “Blue Velvet,” has died. He was 74. Hopper died Saturday at his home in the Los Angeles beach community of Venice, surrounded by family and friends, family friend Alex Hitz said. Hopper’s manager announced in October 2009 that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The success of “Easy Rider,” and the spectacular failure of his next film, “The Last Movie,” fit the pattern for the talented but sometimes uncontrollable actordirector, who also had parts in such favorites as “Apocalypse Now” and “Hoosiers.” He was a two-time Academy Award nominee, and in March 2010, was honored with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. After a promising start that included roles in two James Dean films, Hopper’s acting career had languished as he developed a reputation for throwing tantrums and abusing alcohol and drugs. On the set of “True Grit,” Hopper so angered John Wayne that the star reportedly chased Hopper with a loaded gun. Tributes were posted Saturday on celebrities’ Web sites and Twitter feeds.

YWCA, WHEW! host luncheons ‘W

HEW!” What a week it was for the YWCA! I love acronyms and what a literary coup to be able to use two of them in the same sentence. This week it is all about special people doing special things for others. I love good news stories don’t you? First of all recently the YWCA held its annual “Administrative Professional Appreciation Luncheon.” This was a fun event that included a guest speaker, Cher Holton, who made everyone roar with laughter through her entertaining “Dance Through Life on Two Left Feet.” I think we will see the gal from Raleigh again in High Point in the future. The highlight of the Luncheon is the presentation of the Administrative Professional of the Year Award. YWCA Board member Lori Bovender noted, “This year’s winner has many years of experience and equally as many responsibilities. She has to juggle many balls at one time. She takes care of tasks given by the executive director along with keeping up with daily stats and all communications with parents. She spends every Friday morning working with West End Ministries helping stock their food pantry and also volunteers extra time with the club (Salvation Boys and Girls Club) when special events are taking place. This person is a true leader with a heart of gold that must be the size of Texas. She makes her No. 1 goal to show the children love, even when it may be the hardest time to love that child. She is quick to shed tears of joy or of heartbreak when a child shares their story.

“One example of her going above and beyond is that, when she observed that ABOUT one of the TOWN children had worn Mary Bogest the same outfit for three days and that his feet were too big for his shoes, she went out and bought him three new outfits, two pairs of pajamas and two pairs of shoes. This is the type of caring she shows every day.” She certainly sounds like someone everyone would like to know. “She” is Janet Cecil of the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club, and she was nominated by Executive Director Tonia Stephenson. Congratulations Janet! Now to WHEW! While this acronym is not as well known as the YWCA, it was authored by our own Leah Price. Price was responsible for the recently formed “Women Helping Empower Women” an initiative (not a funded agency) hosted their first outreach event recently. The chosen group was the YWCA’s Women in Transition, led by Dana Hester. The group is comprised of 13 women who are trying to break out of the cycle of poverty to make a better life for them and their children. They are primarily of single mothers living in public housing. The group meets once a month and works with staff mentors and featured speakers on topics such as budgeting and parenting. Once again, students from High Point University lent a hand. These volunteers take the children for crafts or other ■■■

have become a great strength to each other. They share their dreams, their frustrations, their failures and their successes. Recently, when they arrived at the YWCA for a “meeting,” they were greeted with a huge surprise! The WHEW! volunteers served a special Mother’s Day dinner (lasagna, yummy) for the ladies and each received a travel bag full of donated cosmetics, toiletries and chocolate. Sarah Barker of United Way explained, “These mothers are likely to get little more than a good wish on Mother’s Day, so we decided to show them how special they are.” The WHEW! volunteers who, in addition to Barker, Price and Hester, included Linda O’Briant, Claire Batts and her MARY BOGEST | HPE daughter Caroline and A fashion show of clothes from the YWCA Career Closet included models (left to Sydney Cavenaugh, who right) Rhonda Yocum, Monique Morgan, Elizabeth Brannock, Leslie Sanders and Joy tossed salad, set the table and served the meal.

Blue Cross Blue Shield draws criticism for outsourcing RALEIGH (AP) – A plan by a North Carolina health insurance company to test outsourcing some of its data management work is drawing criticism from people who say the company shouldn’t be sending jobs overseas, a newspaper reported Saturday. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, looking for ways to cut costs, has started a pilot project with Bostonbased information technology company Keane to analyze data from the insurer’s electronic repository. The analysis would be used to upgrade the company’s 10year-old information system, which could save money.

Blue Cross spokesman Lew Borman said some of the work likely will be handled at a Keane facility in India. “It does not affect any current jobs,” Borman said. “But I can’t speak to down the road.” Sending work previously done in the U.S. to other countries to save money is nothing new. But one business expert says there is a backlash from consumers and others when it happens for the first time. “The whole notion of sending jobs offshore is a political hot potato,” said Jim Johnson, a professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at UNC’s KenanFlagler Business School. “Most companies try to

keep it under the radar.” The savings can be marked. The average annual salary for an information technology worker in India is about $20,000 compared with an average of $80,000 in the U.S. But such a move doesn’t sit well with local workers’ organizations. “It’s shocking they would export jobs when the Research Triangle area has all the manpower and expertise to accomplish the task,” said Dana Cope, executive director of the State Employees Association of North Carolina. Blue Cross employs about 4,600 people, mostly in the Research Triangle area around Raleigh.

even joined in! By the way, I should mention that, as a newly formed group, WHEW! is in need of volunteers who want to help other women. Several important roles have yet to be filled and I think the future of this organization may be in jeopardy unless more people step in to help. You can call Sarah Barker at 889-0871 or e-mail sarah.barker@ unitedwayhp.org. The result was just as special for the volunteers as it was for the women they served. Claire Batts said of her experience, “I felt I got much more from those amazing women than I gave to them. I am so glad we picked that group.” After the event, Barker sent an e-mail to the volunteers and said, “Please know that whatever part you played has made a difference in the lives of 13 women (and their children) that will not soon be forgot-

ten. What an amazing evening. I cannot put into words at this moment what you all have done for that group of women nor can I put into words what that group of women did for me. I believe that you were able to accomplish the very thing we had hoped from the beginning ... to empower women in need, with a hand up and not a hand out. You gave them that boost that will carry their spirits for a long time to come and I don’t believe that there will be a single one of those women who will forget what you did for them.” Price added, “It was truly an amazing evening. It was a real blessing spending time with them.” Kudos to everyone who gives of themselves to others! MARY BOGEST is an artist and writer who resides in High Point | MSBogest@aol.com

Winston-Salem budget plan calls for tax hike MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Winston-Salem’s property-tax rate would increase 1.6 percent and its tradition of backyard trash pickup would end under the budget being proposed by City Manager Lee Garrity. The increase would add $11.25 a year to the tax bill for a house with a tax value of $150,000. Garrity’s proposed $362.4 million budget represents a 6 percent decrease from the current year’s budget. Garrity’s budget now goes to the Winston-Salem City Council, which

will have a series of hearings before making a decision on a final budget. The council will likely vote on a final budget by the end of June. Garrity said that falling revenue and some rising expenses make the proposed tax increase -- from 46.75 to 47.5 cents for every $100 of value -- unavoidable. His proposed budget contains, for the second consecutive year, no pay raises for any city employees. “I’m well aware that many of our citizens still don’t have jobs and are struggling,” he said. “But this is the worst revenue picture I’ve seen in my

tenure. I felt that a small tax increase ... was better than the alternatives.” Ann Jones, the city’s budget director, said that officials initially thought the city would have an $8.5 million shortfall for the 2010-11 fiscal year, which starts July 1. She said the drop in revenues came in large part from declining taxes on such property as vehicles or business equipment. Garrity said that backyard trash pickup would be phased out starting Oct. 1. WinstonSalem is now the only city in North Carolina that offers the service, he said.

School, Sewell said he raised money for Easley, a twoterm Democrat, because Easley supported education improvements and a state lottery for education needs. Sewell served a dozen years on the BOT and was reappointed in 2007 by Easley. He resigned under pressure the following year after not recusing himself from BOT votes on road improvements near properties owned by him or his son, Billy Sewell. One of Sewell’s fellow former BOT members, Wilmington developer Lanny Wilson, has been a key witness in the Easley investigation. Wilson testified that in 2005 he allowed Easley’s legal counsel Ruffin Poole to invest in the Carteret County development Cannonsgate. Poole pleaded guilty last month to federal tax evasion charges.

Wife CHRIS’ charged in TREE SERVICE husband’s 15 Years death Experience RALEIGH (AP) – Police say a North Carolina woman has been charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of her husband. Police in the small town of Garner just south of Raleigh told multiple media outlets that 48-year-old Abundio Gonzalez was killed early Saturday morning with a single gunshot to the chest. Police say Ruby Ashworth Gonzalez called 911 to report that she had shot her husband. A jail officer said Saturday that Ruby Gonzalez was on suicide watch at the Wake County Detention Center. She did not have an attorney and is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday – her 60th birthday. Investigators say the shooting happened during an argument about another woman. The couple had been living in a recreational vehicle in various locations in the Raleigh area.

Another letter to the Corinthians W

ho writes letters anymore? We have so many forms of communication today (including newspapers and email) that we take them for granted. Yet in the time of Jesus’ Apostles, only one form was available: written letters. For example, of the 27 “books� in the New Testament, 13 are letters Paul wrote to churches or individuals. Paul was not alone, for any church leader who desired to communicate over a distance only had one option. One of these church leaders was named Clement. Clement, also known as Clement of Rome, was a bishop of Rome (probably died before AD 100) and, according to Catholic tradition, he was the fourth pope. While his life story is sketchy, some evidence exists that he was with Paul in Philippi and may have traveled with him to Corinth. Some scholars believe he is the Clement mentioned in Philippians 4:3 [Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellows, help ... Clement and the rest of

my fellow workers]. As bishop of Rome, Clement apparently wrote letters to churches in other cities in order to encourSTUDYING age and/or to THE CHURCH solve problems. The only letter we have from Mark Clement is to the Nickens church in Corinth. ■■■Most scholars believe this letter was written in the late AD 90s. [I and II Corinthians in the New Testament were written in the mid-50s.] This letter, called I Clement, was very popular in early church times. Eusebius (260-340) wrote: “We are aware that this Epistle [“Epistle� is another word for “letter.�] has been publicly read in very many churches both in old times, and also in our own day.� I Clement consists of 59 chapters, although each chapter is more like a paragraph. The rest of this article

consists of two of these chapters. [If you are interested in reading all of I Clement, go to www. ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf01.ii.ii. i.html.] Chapter XIII: Let us therefore, brethren, be of humble mind, laying aside all haughtiness, and pride, and foolishness, and angry feelings; and let us act according to that which is written (for the Holy Spirit says, “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, neither let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glories glory in the Lord, in diligently seeking Him, and doing judgment and righteousness�), being especially mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus which He spoke, teaching us meekness and long-suffering. For thus He spoke: “Be you merciful, that you may obtain mercy; forgive, that it may be forgiven to you; as you do, so shall it be done unto you; as you judge, so shall you be judged; as you are kind, so shall kindness be shown to

you; with what measure you measure, with the same it shall be measured to you.� By this precept and by these rules let us establish ourselves, that we walk with all humility in obedience to His holy words. For the holy word says, “On whom shall I look, but on him that is meek and peaceable, and that trembles at My words?� Chapter LVIII: May God, who sees all things, and who is the Ruler of all spirits and the Lord of all flesh – who chose our Lord Jesus Christ and us through Him to be a peculiar people – grant to every soul that calls upon His glorious and holy Name, faith, fear, peace, patience, long-suffering, selfcontrol, purity, and sobriety, to the well-pleasing of His Name, through our High Priest and Protector, Jesus Christ, by whom be to Him glory, and majesty, and power, and honor, both now and for evermore.

Alec Berry talks to residents at SHAR Inc., a residential treatment facility in Detroit, in March. Berry plans to go to Saudi Arabia later this year and develop programs.

Saudi company studies US addiction aid for Muslims DETROIT (AP) – Mohammed Al-Turaiki left his traditional Saudi Arabian headdress behind in favor of a blazer and sweater as he made the rounds at one of the United States’ oldest addiction treatment centers. He had traveled 7,000 miles to Michigan in hope of finding answers to a problem so taboo in the conservative Muslim kingdom that no official statistics exist:

alcohol and drug addiction. Alcohol is illegal in Saudi Arabia, where a strict interpretation of Islam forbids everything from liquor to allowing women to drive. For those who suffer from alcohol and drug abuse, treatment is scarce and the stigma so great that most never talk about their addiction, even to close family members. Al-Turaiki, the chief executive of the Riyadh-

based Saudi Care for Rehabilitation and Health Care, is trying to change the negative image of addiction by creating a network of treatment facilities in the oil-rich kingdom. He came to Brighton Hospital earlier this year to check out the facility and its treatment programs that have long have included the Detroit region’s large Arab and Muslim population.

Underage warriors served their country well As we observe Memorial Day, some readers may enjoy three books in the High Point Public Library titled “America’s Youngest Warriors” Vol. 1, 2, and 3, compiled and published by the Veterans of Underage Military Service (VUMS). These are stories about young men and women who served in our armed forces before attaining legal age by falsifying their birth dates. These stories are truly amazing. Consider Ted Webb in Vol. 1 who joined the Navy in World War II two weeks after his 13th birthday. When he was discharged after almost three years of service, he was still too young to register for the draft or get a driver’s license. Of particular interest for locals would be High Point’s own Carl Reddeck, Vol. 3, page 7, who enlisted in the Marine Corps during World War II at the age of 14 and was killed in combat on Guam at the age of 16, still under the official age required to enlist. He is one of only six known underage Marines to be killed in action and has been memorialized in places like the Marine Corps Museum and the Marines Memorial Club.

PTIA master plan details future

P

ass the word! Piedmont Triad International Airport will expand and probably will get a fourth runway sometime in the next four decades. That information was revealed last week when the 2010 Airport Master Plan Update was presented to the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority. You might think that as cities (Winston-Salem, Kernersville, High Point, Greensboro and even Oak Ridge) and their suburbs continue to grow and develop, and as the airport authority buys land, lures additional economic development and continues to sharpen its focus, that everyone will recognize what’s happening. But most of them won’t. The third runway (which opened earlier this year) first was mentioned in airport master planning in 1968. Pass the word! History tells us people either don’t pay attention or easily forget such revelations, and that’s why folks residing in the Cardinal in western Greensboro and in relatively new subdivisions in north High Point were surprised when, in the late 1990s, activity began that resulted in construction of the FedEx Corp. cargo hub and a third runway. Pass the word! Don’t panic. Don’t expect the airport to expand dramatically any time soon. But you should expect, over the next 30 years, for the authority to buy enough land north and west of PTIA to increase the 4,000-acre site to nearly 6,500 acres with what visionary John Kasarda and Piedmont Triad Partnership call “airport city” (30-mile radius of the airport) forming the heart of the aerotropolis that will encompass all 12 counties in the Piedmont Triad region. Aerotropolis is an integrative, collaborative effort and a new type of urban form comprising aviation-intensive businesses and related enterprises usually extending up to 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) outward from major airports. Anyone attempting to develop land around the airport and local governments and their various commissions and constituents now – in this information age – should be aware of and kept up to date about what the draft master plan, and eventually the updated plan that is adopted, is intended to accomplish. Pass the word! No excuses: View the master plan on the PTIA Web site (www.flyfrompti.com, click on links), the High Point Public Library and the High Point city manager’s office. Public comments on the draft master plan update will be accepted through July 13. Now is the time to find out what’s in the plan and its timetable, not 25 or 30 years down the road when the Airport Authority starts planning the fourth runway, then begins its construction phase. Expect growth!

Search for actual birth date of Enterprise continues

A

t least a half-dozen years ago, employees of The High Point Enterprise began planning for special editions to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the High Point Market (spring market 2009), the city of High Point’s sesquicentennial (May 2009) and what we believed to be the newspaper’s 125th anniversary in January 2010. Historical accounts in the five editions of Market Press, published by the Enterprise during the April 2009 market, told of the High Point Market’s roots growing well before 1909 and of the event’s development, challenges, growth, achievements and memories as it evolved into the world’s largest and OPINION most prestigious furniture market. Tom On May 21, 2009, the Blount Enterprise published a ■■■ Sesquicentennial edition five days before High Point officially celebrated the 150th anniversary of its gaining its charter as a city from the North Carolina General Assembly (in 1859). As our attention turned to what we thought was the newspaper’s 125th birthday (Jan. 20, 2010) and Vince Wheeler, Enterprise opinion page editor and resident historian, began checking on apocryphal stories about the Enterprise as part of his research. Some of those tales had appeared in what then was called the 50th anniversary edition on Jan. 20, 1935, had been repeated and perhaps embellished in other publications during the next few decades and were regurgitated in the early pages of the 10-section, 200-page 100th anniversary volume published Jan. 25, 1985. The first sentence of the preamble to that 100th anniversary edition read, “True history is far more elusive than it might seem to the casual reader.” And another sentence in that preamble read, “Thus, even choosing of this week as the time of our 100th birthday is a little bit arbitrary.” Those sentiments, the inconsistent volume numbers on Enterprise editions, particularly in the late 1800s, and something Wheeler had read in a copy of the May 14, 1897, edition [“The Enterprise is 17 years old to-day (sic)”] inspired us to delay our anniversary celebration edition from January to May. Curiosity got the better of Wheeler at that point and he began all but camping out in the Heritage Research Center at the High Point Public Library. Based on all the verifiable information Wheeler could find, he now says he can state “with what I believe to be a high degree of historical certainty that the three most likely dates for the first publication of the newspaper that you now are read-

ing are Nov. 2, 1883, Nov. 9, 1883, or Nov. 16, 1883.” By the time Wheeler figured that out, we were too far along in the “celebrating 125 years” process to delay the birthday publication until November. The Enterprise now is in its 127th year of publication and, on one of those November (2010) dates, quietly will celebrate its 127th birthday. Trust me, Wheeler really won’t rest until he can prove – or at least possess a high degree of certainty about – which of those dates is the correct first-publication date nor will he give up easily in his search to determine if the Enterprise evolved from such publications as the Pioneer and Farm & Fireside, as some tales of yesteryear hint. We suspect, from what Wheeler has uncovered so far, that the Enterprise will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2033. We don’t believe, you must understand, those who are predicting that newspapers are dead (especially those newspapers that are transforming themselves with new business models and inspiring themselves with vision). Meanwhile, should any of you come across newspapers (from High Point, Greensboro, Winston-Salem or elsewhere in North Carolina) from the 1880s that refer to the Enterprise, we would love to see them to see if we even more accurately can determine just when the first edition of this newspaper or its predecessors in High Point were published.

He’s State borrowing money now is horrible idea baaa- I aaaaaaaaaack...

S

ome readers may recall that for three years prior to the last presidential election, I extolled the virtues of conservative theory, the flag, Mom, apple pie, etc., right here, every Sunday. But the people spoke in that election, my side lost and I shut up. Remembering how the Democrat jackals jumped on George Bush from day one, I chose to give the new guy a chance. I didn’t say anything when Democrats painted the Bush administration as a “culture of corruption.” And I didn’t say anything when Nancy Pelosi said she was going to “drain the swamp,” while Obama couldn’t fill his Cabinet positions because most of his cronies turned out to be serial tax cheats. Except for OPINION the ones who were asking Steve the Almighty Bryant to damn their ■■■ own country. The same country, by the way, that was allowing them to live privileged lives in milliondollar homes. Or the ones who bombed our country’s government buildings and then took high-paying jobs at government universities to teach our children what a crap hole our country is. I didn’t point out how candidate Obama had promised we would “see it on C-SPAN” when promising open debate on health care reform and then ramming it up our wallet in the middle of night. I didn’t complain when those who asked, repeatedly, for Obama’s birth certificate were called racist hicks while the good folks who claimed that Bush actually ordered 911 attacks were just “concerned citizens.” Or for that matter, why it is that anyone who disagrees with the Great OZ about anything is a racist. I sat silent as I watched Obama bow his way around the globe and apologize for living to every two-bit dictator he could find. And wondered silently why the president of the United States of America has such a problem with placing his hand across his heart while our national anthem is being played. Or why he feels that wearing a US flag lapel pin is offensive. The old Mistersteve would have demanded to know why Obama needs to have his attorney general threaten the governor of Arizona for signing a state law that simply restates a current federal law. Especially since his AG admitted he hasn’t even read the law, and Obama has no intentions of enforcing it, anyway. Mum is the word for me as I’ve watched Obama do nothing for 40 days and 40 nights while oil spews into the Gulf of Mexico. The same gulf area that then Sen. Obama was so concerned about after George Bush directed a once-in-500year storm to devastate the place. Yea, good job Barry. No, I haven’t complained about any of this absurdity for the past 18 months. But I’m going to. Stay tuned.

n the throes of The Great Recession, when state budget writers are desperately trying to find $800 million in spending cuts in next year’s budget, the leadership of our state Senate is proposing to borrow half a billion dollars for building repairs and new construction. This is a fiscally irresponsible proposal for a number of reasons. The recession is far from over. Many economists are predicting it might be 2013 before state revenues return to 2007 pre-recession levels. Even as legislators are “cutting meat from the bone” in the budget that begins July 1, a larger worry is the commonly acknowledged sinkhole that appears to be looming in next year’s state budget, a deficit predicted to be as large as $3 billion. And no one even dares think about what is going to happen when 2014 health care reforms result in as many as half a million more people

flooding onto state Medicaid rolls. North Carolina’s financial condition is far from healthy. State Treasurer Janet Cowell has MY SPIN cautioned against debt service Tom payments that Campbell exceed more than ■■■ 4 percent of the state budget. Currently at $600 million a year, the percentage would increase to more than 4.25 percent if the Legislature approves this half billion dollars in borrowings. Even without this new debt, the percentage would reach 3.99 percent in 2012. Fiscal responsibility mandates no new debt. This proposal is yet another example of avoiding the constitutional codicil for voters to approve debt. Our leaders have grown accustomed to ignoring this provision, inserted into our Constitution for the very

reason that our founders didn’t want public officials running up large debts without our permission. If this proposal is such a good idea, why aren’t Senate leaders willing to put it to a vote of the people? It is true that interest rates are extremely attractive and construction costs are lower than seen in recent years. It is equally true that we must repair and maintain current state-owned buildings, and it would be nice to spend the $260 million proposed for engineering facilities at N.C. A&T and N.C. State Universities, but to borrow half a billion dollars at this time can be likened to someone who has maxed out all credit cards and cannot pay the monthly mortgage but wants to borrow to purchase a new car because cars are on sale and interest rates are low. Fuzzy-headed logic like this helped land our nation and our people in the current financial crisis.

But suppose our state wanted to borrow $450 million. Would these projects be our highest priority? We think not. Can Senate leaders justify borrowing half a billion dollars at the same time they are laying off teachers and other state employees and cutting mental health and other state services? We’re betting state employees, teachers and the public will provide lawmakers with answers to these questions. Our Legislature has plenty of big issues to consider and doesn’t need to waste time and money borrowing half a billion dollars. To paraphrase a popular children’s book this proposal is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea. It needs to be promptly dismissed.

Dangerous depths Some reflections on British Petroleum’s Deepwater Horizon disaster BY MARK W. HENDRICKSON

The explosion that sank British Petroleum’s Deepwater Horizon oil-drilling vessel/platform in the Gulf of Mexico in April was an unmitigated disaster. The accident killed 11 workers and has caused massive environmental damage, the full extent of which may not become known for months or years. Here are some thoughts on this horrible event: 1) The deaths of 11 workers drilling for oil – less than three weeks after the deaths of 29 West Virginia coal miners – serve as a vivid reminder of the dangers faced by those who toil to supply the raw energy upon which our society depends. Most of us take for granted these vital contributors to our economic life. As one who never knew his father due to an oil-field accident long ago, I tend to view these folks as unrecognized heroes. Thank you to all who are doing this essential, dangerous work; may God comfort all who have lost loved ones. 2) The technologies that have been developed to extract fossil fuels from the Earth are engineering marvels. Some drilling vessels in the Gulf are nearly the size of World War II-era aircraft carriers. There have been over 14,000 wells drilled in at least 700 feet of water with a superb overall safety record, including no oil spills in the Gulf despite the merciless battering inflicted by Hurricane Katrina. (Whether drilling these wells is safe enough to be permitted is a separate question that will be revisited below.) Drilling for oil in oceans five miles deep, into deposits where the temperature can reach 900 degrees and pressure 20,000 pounds per square inch, is a colossal engineering achievement. 3) We must never forget the power of nature. Humans have devised myriad ways of fending off nature’s destructive power, but there will always be times when nature will simply overpower and overwhelm our best efforts. The explosive force that erupted through the ocean floor and destroyed Deepwater Horizon is one emphatic reminder of that awesome might.

4) Was the disaster avoidable? This is the key question. It is very tempting to jump to conclusions, but first we need more factfinding. There are reports that workers saw considerable physical evidence that key parts of the built-in safety mechanisms on Deepwater Horizon had disintegrated. A preliminary congressional memo containing admissions of “mistakes” by BP reinforces the impression that the disaster might have resulted from a faulty decisionmaking process. If so, then this horrible tragedy will enter business-school literature as perhaps the definitive case of a dysfunctional managerial chain-of-command. One of the oldest lessons in the book is to avoid being penny-wise and pound-foolish. How tragic and foolish it would be if it turns out that a decision was made to ignore a safety shutdown that would have cost millions, thereby resulting in an accident that surely will cost BP and related corporations billions. There has been an unconfirmed report that government regulators gave Deepwater Horizon a pass. If so, why? 5) Finally, should we stop drilling for hydrocarbons in such deep waters? The central problem we deal with in environmental economics is whether the costs of an activity outweigh the benefits or vice versa. It isn’t always possible to accurately tabulate costs and benefits, but without

a doubt, the environmental and humans costs of the Deepwater Horizon disaster are gargantuan. I certainly can’t say whether deep-sea oil development should continue. With 20 percent of the oil consumed in the United States coming from the Gulf of Mexico, a complete cessation of drilling there appears to be out of the question. Certainly, though, there will be a re-examination of where drilling will be allowed. Many people are asking why there is drilling in such deep waters. This is a complex issue with multiple factors to consider, but ironically, environmentalists may be partly responsible. For decades, environmentalists have striven to thwart the development of domestic supplies of energy. They have blocked oil exploration and development in vast tracts of Alaska, the Rocky Mountain states, and the outer continental shelf under relatively shallow waters along our coasts. Furthermore, environmentalists succeeded in preventing increased usage of another energy source that is economically competitive and ecologically and operationally the safest energy source readily and abundantly available to us – namely, nuclear energy. If these sources of energy had not been choked off in the name of environmental protection, would energy companies be currently drilling as many higher-cost wells in deep water? Is it not possible that zealous environmentalists have unwittingly driven energy companies to drill for oil in places where perhaps they have no business drilling? Should environmentalists rethink their positions and make their peace with sources of energy that pose less of a threat to the environment than deepwater drilling? These are important questions for environmentalists, policymakers and, indeed, all of us to consider. MARK W.

Give support to our military families BY VAN E. BRINKLEY

T

he wives of our troops at home and those stationed around the world with their military husbands play an important role. The wives are given a choice to go to many places around the world. Sacrifice is made by both as they proudly have a part in serving their country. I talked to a lady who shared her experience of loneliness while overseas. Her military husband was kept busy, but the wife’s life is different. There are language barriers in another country. Dealing with boredom and sometimes depression is experienced by some wives as they wait out the tour of duty.

GUEST COLUMN

---

Wives are to be commended as well as the troops for they all make a loyal sacrifice. Theirs is an important role in morale and spirits of their companion. With a role of loyalty to their mate and their country, we owe them gratitude. America is worth defending, worth fighting for. Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you.” I say to our military families, if you should come to the point where you feel like giving up, hold steadfast to God. He

is with you. Have patience with yourself; put out of your mind yesterday’s regrets and tomorrow’s fears. God is your strength and your shield. Hold on for you need not walk alone. You both will be proud of your accomplishments. You have what it takes; now take care of what you have. Military wives are also true American heroes. Let’s not forget the military’s little people. Hearts must ache as they watch their soldier dad and mom march off to war. It is hard for our troops to deal with their emotions. I do not believe the extensive training of our military prepares them to say goodbye to their children. These little ones do not understand the “why” of mommies and daddies

saying goodbye, but in time they will be proud of their military parents. Family members need to be patient, loving with care for those innocent young children. They are vulnerable, and need a lot of security from family, church, school administrators and friends – a lot of TLC. Children deserve happiness and a feeling of belonging. Their future will be filled with uncertainty. Military life is a big difference and especially returning to civilian life requires much understanding. I thank God for our military families, moms and dads, and pray that God will help them for the future generations. VAN E. BRINKLEY lives in Thomasville.

of raising between $30 million to $60 million a year for repairs on the major north-south highway. The Richmond Times Dispatch reported Saturday that North Carolina Transportation Secretary Eugene A. Conti Jr. supports the effort. In a letter to the Fed-

eral Highway Administration, Conti says the Virginia tolls would be a help toward coordinating plans for I-95 in his state. Conti says North Carolina could impose tolls on I-95 by 2012. McDonnell’s proposal has to be approved by the Federal Highway Administration.

Before it’s too late Take advantage of group discounts while they last NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers are enjoying new bargaining power thanks to the online group discount craze. But retailers signing up with Web sites to blast out these daily discounts may end up deciding group coupons are a better deal for shoppers than businesses because they don’t produce loyal customers, experts say. And merchants may soon shut the spigot. So enjoy the bounty now of half-price facials and yoga classes and deep discounts on fancy dinners, bike rentals, boat rides and more. Here’s how. • The basics: Groupon. com is credited with starting the trend, which now includes such sites as Buywithme.com, Lifebooker. com, livingsocial.com.

Typically, a group coupon site operates in multiple cities and features one merchant’s discount per day per city in an e-mail to subscribers. Past offers include a $20 certificate for a specific restaurant or a $40 massage, both at half price, and $180 worth of pilates classes for $45, or 75 percent off. Just visit the site and register your e-mail address to get daily notices. You’ll usually have 24 hours to buy the discounted item from the site in the form of a gift certificate or coupon. Most of the deals are for locally owned service businesses like spas or restaurants, rather than products, and some expire fast or are limited to a single event. But national vendors like car rental company

Zipcar, the National Basketball Association and Blockbuster video rental chain have signed up. Groupon started in November 2008 serving just Chicago, where it is based, but now sends out deals for 140 cities in 18 countries to some 6 million subscribers. Cities range from New York and San Francisco to Wichita, Kan., and Omaha, Neb. There are 50-some similar sites, and new ones appear daily, said Dan de Grandpre, editor-in-chief of discount guide dealnews.com. And that’s good for shoppers because it means participating businesses must offer better and better discounts. “Eventually this will slow down, but right now it’s like the Wild West,” he said. • What makes something a group discount? Merchants set a minimum number of customers — from several hundred to several thousand — who must sign up for an offer to work. They

often set a maximum too. If the deal doesn’t get enough interest in the allotted period, would-be buyers get their money back. But some 90 percent of Groupon deals do go through, said spokeswoman Julie Anne Mossler. So shoppers may feel they need to rush to sign up before the quota fills, which generates a marketing buzz for both the stores and the websites. • What’s in it for the retailers? Free marketing, at least up front. The Web sites typically give retailers half the money they get selling the deals. “A lot of them are willing to cut their profits to zero or possibly lose a little bit of money just to get new customers,” de Grandpre said. That is, a half-off coupon, for instance, typically brings the retailer just onefourth the price it usually charges for a given item and could end up costing the business money. And

there’s no guarantee shoppers will come back. They may just go to another spa, with a better deal, the next time they want a facial. Mossler said Groupon doesn’t promise merchants they’ll make money through Groupon. Instead, the site encourages merchants to seek other ways to retain these new customers, such as honoring the discounts for future visits. “We deliver this influx of new customers, but once they come through your doors it’s up to you to figure out how to offer a great experience so they return,” she said. • The bottom line: Shoppers should get the discounts while they can, said de Grandpre, who gives the craze another 12 months of growth. Even so, he cautioned shoppers not to buy discounts for their own sake because unneeded spending never saves you money.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A clearer, more meaningful standard for sunscreen labels is coming soon to a lotion near you, but not in time for the summer beach season that kicks off this Memorial Day weekend. The Food and Drug Administration is working to finish new labeling rules that have been years in the making, but not before October. The current labeling system for sunscreen products is problematical, concedes Dr. James Spencer, spokesman for the American Academy of Dermatology. But as millions throng to the beaches, he counsels: “Sunscreen is the best you can do for now, and we’re working on better.” The idea behind the new federal regulations is to make labels less confusing, so consumers know exactly what kind of protection they’re getting. Most sunscreens on the market boast “broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.” There’s a standard test to determine protection from the ultraviolet-B rays that cause sunburn — the familiar SPF rankings that tell people how long they can stay out in the sun before a burn. But there is not a standard test to check protection from ultravioletA rays, the ones linked to cancer and wrinkles.

Rise in soup sales good news for Campbell plant MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

ROBESON COUNTY – Soup slurping may be on the rise. The Campbell Soup Co. on Monday reported that its third-quarter soup sales were up 2 percent compared with the same period last year. That’s an improvement from the second quarter, when Campbell soup sales had actually slipped. The change is likely welcome news for many of the 850 people who work at Campbell’s soup plant in Maxton. That Robeson County facility adjusts to changes in demand by varying the amount of days that it’s in operation. For example, the Maxton plant took an entire week off production after Easter last

year, said Mark Cacciatore, senior director of operations. This year, production only stopped for a day or two after the holiday, he said. Overall, New Jerseybased Campbell reported a 7 percent increase in revenue for the quarter that ran from Feb. 1 to May 1. Net income, however, was down 3.4 percent. During an earnings call with analysts, Campbell CEO Douglas Conant pointed out that Campbell grew soup sales for seven consecutive years. “We had a hiccup in the second quarter that affected our ability to grow it this year,” Conant said. “Our outlook for the soup category is one of growth – albeit modest growth. But our belief is we ought to be able to competitively grow the soup category.”

Growth for the quarter was driven in part by increased promotional activity, Campbell reported. Broth was up 9 percent during the quarter; readyto-serve soup was up 4 percent. Condensed soup was down 1 percent. Among the drivers of Campbell’s overall 7 percent increase in revenue for the quarter were Campbell products that aren’t made in Maxton – drinks such as V8, baked snacks such as Pepperidge Farms Goldfish and sauces such as Prego. Conant said the sauces fall into the “meal makers” category, which he said present an opportunity in the current economic climate. “We have a nice growth story here in this at-home, meal-making kind of environment,” Conant said.

“Our sauces have been performing well. Actually our broths have also been performing well as have our cooking soups, which are used in meal preparation.” Swanson broth and cooking soups are made in Maxton. So are Select Harvest soups. One analyst asked executives for some perspective on the latter, now that Select Harvest is in its second year of sales. “We had Chunky (also made in Maxton) that was very much targeted to men,” Conant said. “We needed to get a competitive entry that was targeted to women.” It is typical to see sales of a new product soften in the second year once initial rush of launch promotions are over, he said.

Good luck, bad luck and just desserts BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

If someone is successful, you might attribute the outcome to good luck, for which he or she is not responsible. What do you think about someone’s setbacks? Do they come from bad luck or do you believe the person accountable? People perceive luck in a sometimes surprising light, according to research conducted by Berit Brogaard, an associate professor of Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Missouri – St. Louis. She finds if the foreseeable consequences are bad, people will likely find you accountable, unless you’ve previously been hit by tragedy. Brogaard’s web-based study of 20 faculty members and 150 college students is part of a larger project about “how thinking and emotions affect individual economic decisions,” the principal investigator explains. An article about it has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences, a professional journal, and the university’s Institutional Review Board has just approved further research involving 1,500 human subjects. The research suggests that a Danish/Norwegian concept, schadenfreude, is at work. This concept, Brogaard maintains, “means pleasures derived from SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES the misfortunes of others,” but Berit Brogaard gives a seminar at the University of Missouri – St. only when a person hasn’t alLouis about her academic research on luck. She is an associate pro- ready received his perceived “fair share.” Her empirical refessor of philosophy and psychology.

search also indicates that when good consequences arise, people assume the luck is undeserved. There’s no doubt in our nation’s culture, people often subscribe a person’s success to luck or a personality trait, such as drive or discipline. You’ve heard the expression, “His number (finally) came up.” In such situations, the onlooker diminishes the person in his eyes to make the person more accessible – or cut him down to size. The person who receives “deserved” misfortune is also brought a little lower, which boosts the onlooker’s opinion of his own self.

RECOGNITION Recognition of achievement counteracts the perception of undeserved good luck. Good workplaces have a series of formal and informal recognition ceremonies that celebrate achievements and the path people take to get there. Annual sales meetings are cases in point, where a person’s hard work, savvy and skill blend to a deserved bonus, whether that’s a trip to an exotic location or, in the case of Mary Kay salespeople, a pink Cadillac. If attendees watch the ceremony, even if it’s a lunch, thinking that good luck alone occasioned it, the emcee, so to speak, dispels that notion. Promotions are also forms of recognition. They suggest the person’s achievements were excellent and likely to continue. They’re grounded in the belief that while some people do sail through life with seemingly all

of the luck – good looks, good health and money – a company doesn’t consider one good outcome unrepeatable. If it did, no one, including overachievers, would ever move up or win plum assignments. Does upper management know something about success the rest of the workplace doesn’t? Perhaps they figured it out in their own climb and seek to nurture success in others. Benefits, which many employees came to expect in the past when a person signed on with a company, are another form of recognition. Executives and managers have often been singled out for perks not shared by other employees. But recognition continues to go to rankand-file workers in “Employee of the Month” designations, which accompany something as small as a free lunch (that isn’t really free!), a special parking spot, an extra personal day or more time off. Companies aren’t celebrating “luck.” The importance of Brogaard’s research and conclusions for the workplace is clear. If you find yourself thinking that someone succeeded because of luck, you’re not giving that person credit for his work. Likewise, if you’re dumping on him for deserving bad luck, you might be lifting yourself a little higher. In your own eyes. DR. MILDRED L. CULP, Workwise Features, is an award-winning journalist.

Stage set for 600-mile test BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CONCORD – If there is one place that could serve as a true test of Kevin Harvick’s resurgence in Richard Childress’ cars, it very well could be Charlotte Motor Speedway today. Even though Harvick runs well at some 1.5-mile tracks and has victories at Atlanta and Chicagoland, he has generally found CMS not to his liking despite a win in the All-Star race. Since a second and eighth in his first two Cup starts at CMS in 2001, he has registered just one top-10 in 16 starts. Nine times he has finished 21st or worse. “It’s just one of those places that has been tough for me to interpret and communicate the right feel of the race track and what I need in

Inside...

----

Ford looks to end tough stretch of Cup struggles. 2D Kyle Busch proves too hot to handle at CMS. 2D the car,” Harvick said of working with his crew to get the car just right. “Usually that’s my strong point in helping guide them in the right direction, but this place has been a little bit tougher for us.” Harvick, who comes into the weekend as the leader in Cup points by 69 over Kyle Busch, gets another crack at a breakthrough in today’s Coca-Cola 600. He starts 23rd. Ryan Newman takes off from the pole for the ninth time in 19 Charlotte races.

Newman has never won here. “It has been easier for me to go out and run one lap and do it fast than it is to go out there and run 600 miles fast,” Newman said. “I can do that, it is just a matter of putting yourself in that track position, putting yourself in that right position, the right tires on the car, because you have a good pit crew and things like that.” Kurt Busch starts second and will be trying to become the eighth driver to sweep the All-Star race and the 600 in the same year. Martin Truex Jr., who finished second to Busch in the All-Star event, starts third with former 600 winners Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson fourth and fifth. Busch and Truex were forced to go to different cars for this weekend because their All-Star cars were undergoing the standard

post-race inspection at NASCAR’s nearby research and development center Tuesday. Both said their cars for this weekend felt as good as their All-Star cars as they seek a first Charlotte victory. Busch said his team will concentrate on the setup that delivered the All-Star victory so that his Dodge will be best in the nighttime portion of the 600, which will start a little before 6 p.m. “I feel like I’ve always had a better car in the daytime and I struggled at night,” Busch said. “So this time around, we’d be foolish if we changed the setup too much from that All-Star race and base the setup around that. If we struggle in the daytime, we know that we can make it to the final portion of the race, hopefully, and race them hard then.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Liberty ends HPU’s Big South run SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

ROCK HILL, S.C. - The High Point University baseball team ended its season with a 9-5 loss to Liberty Saturday in the Big South Conference Tournament. The 2010 season was the first winning season for HPU (31-29) in the Division I era as the Panthers set a program record with 15 conference wins. Coastal beat Liberty 8-2 for the crown later Saturday. “I have never been more proud of a team than I am of these guys,” said HPU head coach Craig Cozart. “They have forever changed the face of High Point University baseball.” Senior Matt Gantner set the HPU single-season hit record with his 88th hit of the season, a single in the fifth inning. The previous record was 87 set by Mark Shorey in 2006. Jamie Serber pitched 31⁄3 innings, allowing four runs on six hits for the loss in his final appearance as a Panther.

Saturday’s HPGA Memorial scores, today’s tee times. 6D when playing an afternoon tournament round. It just so happened Saturday that he crossed paths with Baker in the parking lot and learned of the low score. “He’s hard to beat on that golf course,” said Byerly, tied for third place with Webb Grubb and Trip Gentry. Marcus Gray posted the secondbest score of the morning rounds with a 67 and is alone in second. Other top chasers for today’s final round include Davis Womble,

Steve Kidd, Gary Zachary, Gary Pugh, Jacob Eggers, Brad Raczenski and Jeff Boyan, all of whom shot 69s on the par-72 layout. But the day belonged to Baker, last year’s winner of the High Point Golf Association Memorial after firing a 63 in the second round. Baker started slowly with birdies at the first, second, fourth and ninth holes. “I wasn’t happy, but I wasn’t mad,” he said. “Shooting 4-under, I didn’t think I would lose any ground, or maybe somebody would be 5-under.” He then matched that 4-under on the back side with birdies at the 14th, 15th, 16th and 18th holes. He missed only two greens in reg-

ulation, but got up and down at the eighth and 12th holes, and was in trouble behind the green at 18 before a nice chip landed him four feet away for the birdie putt. “Normally I play good on the front and slow down on the back side,” Baker said. “I shot the same thing, so that worked out well.” Baker did not record a bogey. After shooting rounds of 64 and 65 earlier in the week at Jamestown Park and Blair Park, plus another nine-hole jaunt in which he was 7-under, he’s played 63 straight holes without bogeying. “This has been a good week,” he said. “Hopefully I can continue on through (today).” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HIT AND RUN

T

Garrett Wittels used a headfirst slide to keep his hitting streak alive. It helped extend Florida International’s season as well. Wittels pushed his hitting streak to 53 games, five away from Robin Ventura’s NCAA Division I record, with an infield single Saturday in the eighth inning of FIU’s game against Florida Atlantic in the Sun Belt Conference tournament at Murfreesboro, Tenn. FIU wound up getting four runs in the eighth, winning the game 11-9 and clinching a spot in today’s title game with a guaranteed spot in the NCAA tournament at stake.

His presence was felt all day thanks to the 8-under-par 64 he put up on the scoreboard. “It puts a little bit more pressure on me,” said Tony Byerly. “You know 64 is leading, so every time you miss a putt you’re falling further behind. You know you need to make as many as you can to catch up.” Byerly, who finished with a 68 despite opening birdie-eagle, said he rarely looks at a leaderboard

WHO’S NEWS

oday brings the year’s biggest day in racing with the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500. At both venues, the men and women of the military will be honored in ceremonies as part of Memorial Day weekend celebrations. The folks at CMS are saying their festivities will be the track’s biggest ever with a military theme. That’s saying something, considering the track is noted for featuring mock military invasions of all sorts over the years.

Today’s show, beginning at 4 p.m., include a procession of military vehicles, performances by the 82nd Airborne Chorus and U.S. Army Drill Team, video presentations honoring veterans of conflicts beginning with World War II, a flyover by vintage military planes and – oh, yes – the military demonstration by more than 600 troops. After that, Medal of Honor recipients will be recognized, families of fallen soldiers will be honored and the Golden Knights parachute team will descend onto the track. Fallen soldiers will be honored by the play-

ing of Taps and a 21-gun salute. John Hyland, an opera singer and Charlotte native who had his lower left leg amputated after it was shattered by an anti-tank bomb while he was serving in Iraq, will sing the national anthem. USO of North Carolina president John Falkenbury and the families of three soldiers will give the command to start engines. No matter what happens in the race, the track certainly has its heart in the right place when it comes to its pre-race efforts.

Have you driven a Ford (to victory lane) lately? I

f enthusiasm is in short supply among Ford’s drivers entering today’s Coca-Cola 600, no one should be surprised. Those in the Ford camp have little to be enthused about this season, even with a new-generation engine coming on line. Twelve races into the Cup campaign, no Ford has reached victory lane in a continuation of the slump that began last year. In the 46 races since Matt Kenseth won the first two events of 2009, Ford has just one victory: by Jamie McMurray at SPORTS Talladega last fall. It is a slump that continues to Greer be baffling considering Smith Ford’s top team, Roush■■■ Fenway Racing, had won at least six races each year from 2003-08, including 11 in 2008. Roush hasn’t endured a drought like this since he won just two races, both by Jeff Burton, in 2001. The good news for Roush is that three of his drivers (Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards) have been consistent enough that they are in contention to qualify for the Chase for the Championship. The bad news going into today’s Coca-Cola 600: they and teammate David Ragan have combined for seven top-five finishes (McMurray was the odd man out when Roush had to cut a team to get down to the NASCAR-mandated maximum of four teams). Four of the top-fives are by Kenseth, who is tied for second-most so far. Biffle had two and Edwards just one. Kenseth owns the best finish – a second at Atlanta. He and Biffle also have a third. The four combined have led just 166 laps, which ranks behind eight drivers. Biffle has led 125 of those. Edwards, who won nine races just two years ago, has led just two. Ford’s other main entity – Richard Petty Motorsports – continues to struggle after its switch from Dodge. AP The four RPM drivers have three topCarl Edwards works on his HANS device during practice for today’s NASCAR Sprint fives (two by Kasey Kahne and one by Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord.

Ford has won just one Cup race in the past 46 events. Kenseth, who is third in points, said the reason for the struggles by the Ford teams is simple. They are too slow at “We just aren’t going through the “Whether that is chassis, shocks or critical points. corners fast enough,” Kenseth said. aero, I don’t know. We are working on

all areas to try getting it better. Certainly over all of this year we are better than where we were last year, we just still need to get a little better to run up there with the best cars.” The best cars would be those from Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing. Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson of Hendrick are 1-2 in laps led. Johnson has three wins, while Gibbs is currently the hottest team with five wins by Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch in the last seven races. “You have to figure out how to get a step ahead,” Kenseth said. “I feel like most of the time we are trying to get caught up. While we are catching up, the guys you are trying to catch up to are working on the next thing and you are always a step behind.” Some of the reason that no Ford team has been able to get in the ballpark with Hendrick and Gibbs, Kenseth said, is that all of the teams use common chassis and engines – all out of the Roush complex. “When you talk about Ford as a manufacturer, all the eggs are in one basket,” the 2003 Cup champion said. “We are all running the same chassis, have the same engineering department and group of engineers. We run the same engine and have the same body. If we are off as an organization then we are all off. We just have to keep working at it. I don’t know the answer as far as bringing someone in or mixing things up. I have my opinions and voice them regularly, but there is only so much I can do.” Edwards, whose struggles have been the most surprising, is anxious for someone to figure out the missing piece in the Ford chassis package. “We just aren’t fast enough,” Edwards said. “The guys have been working really hard. We have been trying a lot of things. My crew chief, Bob Osborne, has been working very closely with the other guys the last couple of weeks. We have been working as a team really well. The big thing is to hold it together and not self destruct. We are making progress, but it is painfully slow. I can’t wait for one of the engineers to come up with that idea that will make us fast again.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Busch sizzles in Nationwide win BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CONCORD – An early two-lap deficit sparked Kyle Busch’s fire on Saturday. Despite the disadvantage, he still wound up smoking the field for another Nationwide victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Keeping the lead during the late restarts, Busch stayed ahead of Brad Keselowski’s charge at the end of three laps of overtime to post his fourth win in the last five Nationwide races at CMS and tied Mark Martin’s track record of six wins. “We don’t like to make them too easy, I guess,” Busch said. Busch fell two laps behind when he pitted on lap 47 of the 203-lapper under green for tires and then served a pass-through penalty for speeding on pit road. Busch said he went over the speed limit because he was paying more attention to where he was going to come out of the pits in relation to other cars.

When other drivers made their green-flag stops, Busch got back in the lead lap. He finally got the lead during caution-period pit stops on lap 140 and remained there the rest of the way. “There wasn’t much patience when I was trying to stay on the tail end of the lead lap,” Busch said. “After that, I was trying just to run consistent lap times and be careful when I was running the top lane because I have a tendency to drive it into the wall when I do. So, I had to under drive it instead of over drive it.” Busch led Keselowski handily when a series of late caution periods began on lap 188. They didn’t pit when all the others on the lead lap did on lap 189, a strategy that proved to be correct when two more wrecks prevented no more than two laps of green at a time. With a push from Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Joey Logano in the final restart on lap 202, Busch jumped two car lengths clear as

Logano and Keselowski battled for second. After clearing Logano, Keselowski fell two car lengths short at the finish as Busch got his 35th Nationwide victory. Logano was third, Justin Allgaier fourth and Ryan Newman fifth. “I had a great car,” Busch said of his Toyota. “In the beginning, we got really tight and then we got loose and then we made a good call not to pit at the end.” Keselowski said that Logano pushing Busch proved to be the difference. “I have a lot of fun racing Kyle,” Keselowski said. “If I would have had another lap, maybe I could have got him. Kyle and Logano did a good job working together.” Keselowski retained the lead by a point over Busch, but Busch and third-ranking Kevin Harvick are scheduled to miss the next three races because they are not at the same venues as Cup races. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

New CEO Randy Bernard talks often about creating compelling storylines to build around his drivers, but every good story needs a yin to offset the yang. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. The Red Sox and the Yankees. Ohio State and Michigan. An intense rivalry combined with a little gamesmanship and an ounce or two of bile can raise an entire sport. In IndyCar, the rivalries are largely benign. Danica Patrick is the closest thing the series has to a lightning rod, yet she is also its most popular driver. Even IndyCar’s version of the Celtics and Lakers get along swimmingly. Ganassi and Penske Racing have turned the series into a thumbwrestling match, combining to win three of the last four 500s and 20 of the last 22 races overall since the start of the 2009 season. Their drivers occupy five of the top six qualifying positions for today’s race. Yet the relationship between the two organizations is hardly hostile. “We’re great friends,” Ganassi said.

ISTANBUL (AP) – Red Bull maintained its perfect qualifying record Saturday when Mark Webber edged Lewis Hamilton of McLaren to start the Turkish Grand Prix from pole position. It marked Webber’s third straight pole as the overall Formula One leader goes for a third consecutive race victory. Red Bull has taken pole in all seven races this season. Webber, the first Australian since Alan Jones to lead the standings, set a new qualifying record with a lap of 1 minute, 26.295 seconds around the Istanbul Park Circuit to lead Hamilton by less than twotenths of a second. Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull starts third and defending champion Jenson Button of McLaren completes the second row. Fernando Alonso, Red Bull’s closest competitor in the drivers’ standings, starts 12th for Ferrari. Red Bull is the first team to secure seven straight poles since Ferrari did so in 2000-01. Four of the five winners at the “Otodrom” started first on the grid. “It hasn’t been the smoothest of weekends for us in getting the running in,” said the 33-year-old Webber, who also had a new engine put into his car after Friday’s practice. “ Hamilton, with girlfriend and pop singer Nicole Scherzinger watching, is in the running for a first victory of the season. “It’s a real boost for me and my team knowing we have a very good baseline pace and our race pace is even better,” Hamilton, the 2008 world champion, said after overcoming a spinout at turn 8 in morning practice. Michael Schumacher’s qualifying session also finished at the high-speed corner as the Mercedes driver went off into the gravel. He had already set the fifth best time to sit ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg. Renault’s Robert Kubica starts seventh ahead of Felipe Massa, who leads Ferrari going into its 800th GP. Webber and Hamilton ran untroubled laps to take the first two slots for today’s 58-lap race. Webber and Vettel both have 78 points, but Webber leads the championship thanks to his two wins.

Celtics have five days to recover before NBA finals BOSTON (AP) – Rajon Rondo hit the deck hard, grimacing after being fouled. Glen Davis played through dizziness from a concussion. Rasheed Wallace put up with a painful back. The Boston Celtics sure could use some time off. Now they’re getting it with a five-day break between games before starting the final drive toward their goal – a second NBA championship in three years and an 18th in club history, more than any other team. Coach Doc Rivers gave his players two days off after their dominating performance Friday night with the wounded and woozy Rondo, Davis and Wallace helping in a 96-84 win over the Orlando Magic.

Boston led by at least 12 points throughout the second half and clinched the Eastern Conference title in six games. The NBA finals begin Thursday night at the Los Angeles Lakers or Phoenix Suns. Los Angeles led the West finals 32 heading into Saturday night’s game in Phoenix. Paul Pierce could use a respite from the battering he took driving to the hoop in the physical series with the Magic. “I know I need it,” said Pierce, the star of the clincher with 31 points and 13 rebounds. “I’ve got a couple injuries that I kind of want to cure. ... Just minor stuff like foot, back, stuff like that. But nothing major for me, you know. Running into Dwight Howard really doesn’t help your body.”

Magic headed for tough offseason after elimination ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – The new arena will have no championship coronation. The only thing following the Orlando Magic to the Amway Center next season will be memories of coming close. That elusive NBA title banner will not be raised on opening night. Again. A major overhaul wasn’t enough to get Orlando back to the NBA finals, much less win a championship, and now the Magic will have to hope their core is enough to stay in contention. They’re already over the luxury tax and don’t have much wiggle room in free agency. A postseason that had seemed to open up perfect for them – LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers eliminated, giving Orlan-

do home-court advantage throughout the playoffs – ended up being a mirage. In 21 seasons as a franchise, all spent in the old Amway Arena, this offseason will be tougher than most for the Magic. They went all-in for a title and ended up regressing. Falling behind 3-0 to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals was too big a hurdle to overcome. The Magic won the next two games, only to watch the boys from Beantown celebrate their 21st trip to the NBA finals. The Magic’s gamble simply didn’t pay off. They made the bold move last offseason to part ways with Hedo Turkoglu – and starters Courtney Lee and Rafer Alston – in exchange for Vince Carter, who disappeared

at the worst possible time. Carter’s two missed free throws at the end of Game 2 against Boston cost Orlando dearly, and the 33year-old guard became a major liability in the ensuing contests. Carter tried to rally the Magic with 17 points in the finale, but it was far too late. The Magic’s core of Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis are signed long term, and most of the key contributors will return. Backup point guard Jason Williams will be a free agent and will likely demand a salary too high for the Magic to match. Shooting guard J.J. Redick, who made big strides this season to become one of the team’s best reserves, will be a restricted free agent.

U.S. trims Turkey for 2-1 exhibition victory PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey scored second-half goals, giving the United States a 2-1 exhibition win over Turkey on Saturday in the Americans’ last game before leaving for the World Cup. Arda Turan put the Turks ahead in the 27th minute on a counterattack after right back Jonathan Spector was dispossessed upfield. Altidore tied the score in the 58th min-

ute and Dempsey put the U.S. ahead in the 75th, exciting a red-white-and-blue clad crowd of 55,407 at Lincoln Financial Field. The U.S. team took its time leaving the pitch, acknowledging fans at both ends of the stadium. The Americans leave today for South Africa and meet Australia in a final exhibition on June 5, one week before their World Cup opener against England.

Philadelphia ace Roy Halladay delivers a pitch during the first inning of Saturday night’s game against Florida in Miami. Halladay tossed the 20th perfect game in big-league history, baffling the Marlins for a 1-0 masterpiece.

Phillies’ Halladay throws perfect game THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI – Philadelphia Phillies ace Roy Halladay threw the 20th perfect game in major league history, delivering the marquee performance of his All-Star career in a 1-0 win over the Florida Marlins on Saturday night. It was the second perfect game in the majors this month alone, Dallas Braden doing it for Oakland against Tampa Bay on May 9. It’s the first time in the modern era that there were a pair of perfectos in the same season — Colorado’s Ubaldo Jimenez threw a no-hitter, too, in April. Halladay struck out 11, then got pinch-hitter Ronny Paulino to ground out to end it, and was cheered by a crowd of 25,086 throughout much of the night. While there were a couple of good plays behind him, Halladay didn’t need any great defensive work in this gem. The 33-year-old righty was a veritable one-man show. Always stoic on the mound, Halladay (7-3) broke into a big smile as his teammates rushed in to congratulate him. He was within one out of a no-hitter on Sept. 27, 1998, in just his second major league start, pitching for the Blue Jays against Detroit. Pinch-hitter Bobby Higginson ended that on the first pitch he saw, hitting a solo home run. Halladay faced three Marlins pinch-hitters in the ninth. Mike Lamb led off with a long fly ball that was caught on the centerfield warning track, Wes Helms struck out looking and Paulino hit a grounder that backup third baseman Juan Castro ranged to his left to get. It was the Phillies’ second perfect game, with Jim Bunning having thrown one in 1964.

CUBS 5, CARDINALS 0 CHICAGO – Carlos Silva won again, striking out a career-high 11 during seven dominant innings and pitching the Chicago Cubs past the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 Saturday. Silva (7-0) allowed just two hits and walked none. Matt Holliday was the only Cardinals’ batter to reach base against Silva with a single in the second and a double in the seventh. Silva became the first Cubs starter to begin a season 7-0 since Ken Holtzman went 9-0 in 1967.

REDS 12, ASTROS 2 CINCINNATI – Jay Bruce and Ramon Hernandez each hit two home runs to propel the streaking Reds to a 12-2 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday. Miguel Cairo and Drew Stubbs also homered as the Reds powered their way to their fourth consecutive win and fifth in six games, taking a two-game lead over St. Louis in the NL Central.

ANGELS 5, MARINERS 1 (10) ANAHEIM, Calif. – Kendry Morales fractured his lower left leg while celebrating his game-ending grand slam in the 10th inning to give the Los Angeles Angels a 5-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday. Morales is scheduled to undergo surgery today. He was leading the club in batting average (.290), home runs (11), total bases (94) and RBI (39). Morales connected with one out and circled the bases to a waiting celebration. He leaped toward home plate and landed awkwardly. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

minutes, struck in the head by Alex Rodriguez’s line drive. His Cleveland teammates gathered nearby, the crowd stood in stunned silence. About three hours later, after a negative CT scan at the hospital, the pitcher was back in the clubhouse, smiling with the relieved Indians after their remarkable, come-frombehind 13-11 victory Saturday over the New York Yankees. As he rode the team bus back to the hotel with his parents and brother, the 25-year-old left-hander got a phone call from A-Rod. Rodriguez’s drive hit Huff above the left ear and caromed into right field for an RBI double, a frightening scene in the third inning that shook players on both sides. Rodriguez put both hands to his helmet as he pulled into second base, and went straight toward the mound. Huff was face down in the dirt for about 90 seconds, then trainers helped him onto his back. At the urging of the trainers, After being placed on a board and fitted with a neck collar, he gave an encouraging thumbs-up as he was being carted off the field. Down 10-4 in the sixth inning to CC Sabathia, the Indians came back to win in their highest-scoring game of the season.

BLUE JAYS 5, ORIOLES 2 TORONTO – Lyle Overbay hit two of Toronto’s four home runs, Vernon Wells connected for a goahead shot in the eighth inning and Brett Cecil pitched the Blue Jays over the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 on Saturday.

Weaver, who was tied for ninth after rounds of 68 and 67, closed with a 72 on Friday and a 73 in Saturday’s finale. His total of 280 was 5-under for the week, but 15 shots off the pace of winner Scott Weatherly. The former regular on the Nationwide Tour won $34,427 after shooting 65-65-67-68–265. The Fort Payne, Ala., resident edged Jesse Mueller by a single shot thanks to a 4-foot par putt on the 72nd hole. No other locals made the cut in the professional event. Weaver’s total netted him $1,295.62.

Roney’s grand slam powers HiToms SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

ASHEBORO – Dave Roney launched a top of the 12th inning grand slam to reignite the HiToms offense in 8-4 victory over the Asheboro Copperheads. Leading 3-1 heading into the bottom of the ninth, the HiToms (2-1) surrendered a two-run lead courtesy of a series of defensive miscues and some clutch-hitting by the Copperheads (1-2).

However, Duke sophomore pitcher Ben Grisz stymied the Asheboro rally in the ninth and surged through the 12th, striking out seven and allowing just four hits and two earned runs in five innings of work. The late-inning heroics by Roney came on the heals of a perfectly executed push bunt in the 12th by Lafayette College junior Rob Froio. Matt Dillon pushed Froio to second on a Copperhead error and

John Carroll Neese followed with a hit by pitch. With the bases loaded, Copperhead reliever Adam Izokovic fired an errant pitch and Froio trotted in with the go-ahead run. Roney’s grand slam punctuated his 3-for-4 night at the plate. The HiToms played host to Martinsville in a game that ended too late Saturday night to be included in today’s edition. Look for a story in Monday’s edition.

Bowman powers Coastal ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

ROCK HILL, S.C. – Daniel Bowman crushed two home runs to power No. 1 seed Coastal Carolina past No. 2 Liberty by an 8-2 score Saturday in the final game of the Royal Purple Big South Baseball Championship at The Winthrop Ballpark. The Chanticleers won their fourth consecutive tournament championship and Big South-record 11th title overall, receiving the Big South’s automatic berth to the NCAA Regional. The victory is Coastal’s 51st of the season, breaking the Big South singleseason record. Bowman earned Tournament MVP honors after hitting .294 (5-for-17) with nine RBIs, three home runs and an .882 slugging percentage in the tournament. High Point was represented on the all-tournament team with infielder Mike Mercurio and designated hitter Pablo Rosario. Liberty had to beat High Point first Saturday afternoon to advance to the finale, and jumped to a 2-0 lead against the Chants on a Trey Wimmer homer. Coastal answered immediately on Rich Witten’s three-run home run off the scoreboard. In the fourth, Bowman hit a towering blast over the light pole in left center to make it 6-2, and his homer to right-center in the sixth stretched the lead to 8-2. Austin Fleet (6-1) was credited with the win after tossing 31⁄3 innings of scoreless relief. “If you watched us play these four days, you saw four different heroes,” Coastal coach Gary Gilmore said. “That’s how we played all year. If two or three guys don’t do it, there are five or six guys who do. They don’t panic. Hopefully that script will continue on for us.” It was the eighth meeting between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in the championship game. The No. 1 seed is now 5-3 in such contests, having won in 1998, 2000, 2008, 2009 and now 2010. The Chanticleers are also 5-1 against Liberty in the Big South title game. Coastal will learn its spot in the national bracket during an ESPN telecast Monday at 12:30 p.m.

Serena advances; Roddick out at French Open PARIS (AP) – Serena Williams looked ill, and not only because she had lost five games in a row at the French Open. Battling a cold, Williams received a visit during a changeover from a trainer, who checked her temperature and gave her pills. Then came a third-set surge, and Williams beat 18-year-old Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova on Saturday, 6-1, 1-6, 6-2. There was no prescription to help Andy Roddick, who lost to Russian qualifier Teimuraz Gabashvili 64, 6-4, 6-2. Roddick threw rackets and argued with the umpire, but the fits of temper failed to produce a turnaround against an opponent ranked 114th. Four-time champion Rafael Nadal won in straight

sets but still needed nearly 21⁄2 hours to eliminate feisty No. 28 Lleyton Hewitt, 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. Unseeded Robby Ginepri, the only remaining American in the men’s draw, reached the fourth round by beating 2003 champion Juan Carlos Ferrero, 7-5, 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 6-4. The top-ranked Williams appeared in danger when she fell behind 5-love in the second set and summoned the trainer. “I felt really dizzy out there,” she said. “Just ran out of a little energy out there, just fighting a cold and fighting sickness.” Soon Williams’ court movement improved, her strokes steadied and she advanced to the fourth round. The seesaw victory assured Williams of retaining the No. 1 ranking after the tournament.

No. 18-seeded Shahar Peer won and plays Williams next. Other winners included Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan and wild card Jarmila Groth of Australia, who both advanced to the fourth round at a major tournament for the first time. The third-round showdown between four-time champion Justine Henin and Maria Sharapova was suspended because of darkness at one set apiece. Henin led 6-2, but her streak of 40 consecutive sets won at Roland Garros ended when Sharapova took the second set, 6-3. No. 3 Novak Djokovic, a two-time semifinalist, beat Victor Hanescu 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. Djokovic will play Ginepri, who came into the tournament with a 1-7 record this year.

Memorial Day offers somber time of remembrance

W

hen I heard the news, I instantly went back in my mind to that late, summer, Sunday afternoon we drove to High Rock Lake and went swimming. I thought of Gary Clodfelter’s brand new, bright red, Camaro, still smelling the new car smell, and of me, sitting in the passenger seat. Gary was a responsible driver but he couldn’t resist snatching second gear hard enough to make the fat rear tires squeal. He looked over at me with a serious expression, “It’s got a tight clutch, I like that.” I remember thinking we had the terrible chains of our childhood behind us now, and life as an adult was going to be sweet. We met up with some other guys from church and spent the afternoon swimming in High Rock and having the kind of fun that teenage boys had in the late ‘60s. Gary had his draft notice and was planning then to marry Sandy and it turned out to be the last outing for the two of us. When the news came, it was that he was missing in action. It was several weeks before we knew for sure, as it almost always was with Vietnam. I held out hope, but I really knew in my heart I’d never see him again. I just kept thinking back to how I’d thought about our bright futures during that ride to the lake and how his was now gone. Now, when I hear of the loss of a Soldier, it normally comes on the afternoon news. If it’s a local soldier, there’s a human interest story and a reverent tribute by a family member. Most national networks read a list at the end of the week; it’s less personal that way to hear about the death of a young Marine

from Iowa or an Army Reservist from Texas. Most of us are quiet and reflective during that part of the news, but, if there’s conversation going on, the segment is often completely unnoSPORTS ticed. When I hear one of those stories, I almost Dick always think of Gary and Jones that Sunday afternoon. ■■■ I know a lot of us look forward to Memorial Day as a holiday; why shouldn’t we? It’s one of the finest times of the year weatherwise, the kids are about to get out of school, the beach is warm enough to be hospitable, why not enjoy it? I will enjoy the weekend, but Sunday, I’m going to be somber. I’m speaking at the Memorial Day service at Floral Garden Memorial Park and I know it’s going to be a little tough on me. This week, in preparation for my address, I spent a little time researching the lives and deaths of two local heroes. One of them, Private First Class, Alan H. Newton, with the U.S. Army Reserve was an enlisted man like my friend, Gary. The other, U.S. Army Captain, Mark Garner, was a career Soldier who attended West Point. Both left behind loved ones and dreams for their lives that will never be realized. Men who sacrifice their lives for our freedom come from all walks of life. Captain Mark Garner, of Elkin, planned a military career. He and his wife, Nickayla loved to travel. Captain Garner’s love of travel was reflected in his dream to serve as a Foreign Area

Officer and represent the United States within his Army career. This week, Nickayla is on a trip Captain Garner had planned for them to take. Instead, she is taking the trip in memory of him with three friends who are supporting her in adjusting to life without her husband. Captain Garner planned to take the trip at this time because it would have been during his block leave at the completion of his tour. Capt. Garner was killed July 6, 2009 when his vehicle hit a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Private First Class, Alan H. Newton, of Asheboro, served in the U.S. Army Reserve where he was a civil affairs specialist assigned to the 422nd Civil Affairs Battalion. He graduated from Southwestern Randolph High School in 2002 where he was a member of the football team and JROTC. He enjoyed riding motorcycles, four-wheelers and going mud bogging. He also loved playing corn hole and video games. He dearly loved spending time with his baby girl, Riley, and had a love for animals, especially dogs. Private Newton died October 2, 2009 from wounds suffered in a suicide bomber attack. Private Newton planned to take Basic Law Enforcement Training once his unit returned home. He wanted to be a police officer like his best friend, David Baker. His unit came home two weeks ago. He would be home now, able to play with his daughter, Riley, if he’d survived the tour. Riley turned three on May first. When a man dies in the service of our country, we lose more than a soldier who’s chosen to give up a part of his

life in the service of freedom. We lose the dreams of a young man with his life before him. We lose the love of a husband, beloved son, or a father. We lose the service he would have provided to his fellow man. Most of all, we lose a person who could contribute an irreplaceable richness to life in our beloved United States. Besides showing our respects on Memorial Day and other similar events, there’s nothing we can do for Captain Garner or Private Newton. Our Heavenly Father now takes care of their needs. But there are still the families of those we’ve lost and there are many among us who’ve served and managed to come home. We can express gratitude and respect to them. For many of them, this day is especially poignant because of remembrance of lost friends. I’d give a mint to be able to take my friend, Gary, to lunch next week and try to tell him how much I appreciate his sacrifice. That’s just not possible, but I resolve to be more aware of the needs of those they’ve left behind and of those still with us who’ve laid their lives on the line in the name of freedom. This is something I can do that will honor Gary’s memory and be of benefit to those often unsung heroes who walk among us every day. I hope you’ll join me.

HPU’s Peachee takes 23rd in steeplechase at NCAA regionals SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – Freshman Dakota Peachee of the High Point University men’s track & field team placed 23rd in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in the first round of the NCAA Championship on Saturday at N.C. A&T. Freshman Josh Pelletier placed 42nd in the javelin. “Dakota ran a very competitive race

and stayed near the top 12, which would have sent him to the national championship, for most of the race,” said HPU head coach Mike Esposito. “He had a good breakthrough at Georgia Tech and ran better today. Now we’ll get ready for the U.S. Junior National Championship in June.” Peachee’s time of 8:58.72 was a career-best, just beating his performance

of 8:59.62 from the Georgia Tech Invitational two weeks ago. It also lowered the HPU record, which Peachee set at Georgia Tech. He was the second freshman to cross the line, as he was edged by freshman Dylan Sorensen of Georgetown (8:58.62). Pelletier threw the javelin 57.53 meters (188-9) to place 42nd. He was one of six freshmen in the field of 48. Pelletier

was well off his season best of 65.97 meters (216-5), which set an HPU record at the Big South Championship on April 15. Pelletier has advanced the HPU javelin record by nearly 30 feet, as the record prior to this season was 189-3 set by Bill Kimmel in 1987. Peachee and Pelletier will compete in the USATF Junior National Championship in late June in Des Moines, Iowa.

A home for Amari

Debbie Still adopted Amari after caring for him as a foster child. DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Four-year-old Amari Still looks out the front door of his house. Diagnosed as medically fragile, he is unable to walk.

IGH POINT – Ask therapeutic foster parent Debbie Still why she adopted Amari, her 4-yearold son, and she has trouble finding the right words. “He was just special to me,” she finally manages. “He was just special.” But spend a little time with Still – a 52-year-old single mom – and you’ll find she’s pretty special, too. “Debbie is one of our go-to parents,” says Deena Kersting, foster parent recruiter for North Carolina MENTOR, an agency that provides therapeutic foster care. “She’s one of the best.” According to Kersting, therapeutic foster care is foster care that targets children and teenagers with serious behavioral and emotional issues. “We match them with a foster family, and they stay with that family while they’re working on their issues and receiving services to help them get better and to better manage their behaviors,” she says. “…Most of the kids within a year will transition back home. This is a concentrated service to help them improve their behaviors and become more stable so they can go back home. That’s always the plan.” In Amari’s case, he was designated as medically fragile when Still took him in as a 9-month-old. Born extremely premature (at about 26 weeks), Amari had multiple health issues – a feeding tube, a perforated bowel, eye problems, hydrocephalus and high blood pressure, to name just a few.

North Carolina MENTOR needs adults, single or married, to serve as therapeutic foster parents for children and teenagers who have behavioral and emotional issues. Therapeutic foster parents need at least a high-school diploma or GED. They can be employed but must have a flexible schedule to be able to take care of the child’s needs as they arise. They must have a spare bedroom for the child. They also must undergo a sevenweek training session of two nights a week. The next training session will begin in late July. For more information, contact Deena Kersting, foster parent recruiter for North Carolina MENTOR, at (336) 856-1140, Ext. 25, or call the agency’s Foster Parent Line at (336) 856-1140, Ext. 30, and leave a message. You can also visit the agency’s Web site at www. nc-mentor.com. “He’s had about nine surgeries, and he was in the hospital for the first seven months of his life,” Still says. “He couldn’t hold his head up or sit up or anything. But he needed a foster home, so I got him, and I didn’t wanna turn him loose.” Since he began living with Still, he can now sit up, hold his head up and speak.

Moment of remembrance honors our fallen D

ear Abby: As a nation, we Americans are at our best when we come together bonded by a noble purpose. It is my privilege to invite our citizens to unite for the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. (local time) tomorrow on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31. Our hope is that your readers will pause at that moment whether at a ballgame or barbecue, in the swimming pool or at the shopping mall, in respectful silence to honor America’s fallen. To unite the country in remembrance, Congress officially established the National Moment of Remembrance in 2000. And as has been done in the past, in observance of this National Moment, Major League Baseball games will stop, Amtrak trains will blow their whistles and the National Grocers Association and Food Marketing Institute will have customers and staff pause in more than 30,000 stores throughout our country.

Abby, your patriotism and compassion, united with that of your millions of readers, have helped us – and continue to help us – unite our country in remembrance of our fallen on MemoADVICE rial Day. We must ensure that Dear their lives, their deaths Abby and the memory of their ■■■sacrifice will never be forgotten. So let us stop for a moment at 3:00 (local time) tomorrow and commit to live honoring America’s fallen every day that we breathe the fresh air of freedom in our land of hope and promise. – Commission On Remembrance, Carmella La Spada, Executive Director, White House Dear Carmella: Thank you for your beautiful letter. I accept your kind

invitation on behalf of myself and Dear Abby readers everywhere. This act of unity on Memorial Day will be a time of respect, reflection and commitment in memory of the almost 2 million men and women who have died in the service of our nation. Their sacrifices for us live on in each constitutional right we practice, and in our hearts always. Dear Abby: I am 14 and will attend a private high school in the fall. Both of my sisters were star athletes at the same school. I am gifted in both academics and athletics, and I’ll be taking two honors classes. My dad recently pointed out that I am required to play a sport. I believe if I do, I will be too stressed out and my grades will slip. He wants me to be this “super child� that I am not and go to Harvard. Everyone who knows me overestimates me. How should I approach him to tell him how I really feel? – Pushed To My Limits in Albuquerque

HOROSCOPE

Dear Pushed: If you’re unsure about your ability to carry the load, approach your father as you have approached me. However, before you do, I wish you would take into consideration that participating in a sport can be an effective way of releasing stress – including academic pressure. If sports are a requirement at your school, there is a good reason for it. So please, at least give it a try. If it’s too much for you, talk to your parents, as well as your counselor at school. P.S. As to “everyone who knows you overestimating you,� has it occurred to you that you may be UNDERestimating yourself?

He goes to school at Gateway Education Center in Greensboro and continues to improve developmentally, Still says. “He has a long way to go, but he’s come a long way,� she says. “He’s doing really well.� Still hadn’t planned on adopting Amari – or any other foster child, for that matter – but something just clicked between the two of them, she says. “He just seemed like family when I got him,� she says. “Believe me, I had no intention of adopting a child at 50 years old, but it just happened. He needed somebody, and I wasn’t doing anything, so I said, ‘Why not me?’ And it all worked out for the best, I believe.�

Amari is one of about 12 therapeutic foster children – both boys and girls of various ages – Still has taken in since she underwent the North Carolina MENTOR training in 2006. She also has a 13-year-old girl she’s currently fostering, as well as another child who comes to her home every other weekend. Still became a therapeutic foster parent after raising her own three children, all of whom are grown now. “This is something I always wanted to do,� she says. “When I raised my children and they were all gone, I was like, ‘OK, what do I do now?’ So I started doing this. I’ve just always been a mom, and I enjoy it – it’s challenging and rewarding. I’m gonna do it as long as I’m able.� jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Hudson castle’s last stand? Bannerman ruins continue to crumble BY MICHAEL HILL ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

P

OLLEPEL ISLAND, N.Y. – The castle on the Hudson River is crumbling. One of the stranger sights on the river, Bannerman’s island castle is a high-walled ruin topped with turrets that looks like it was built to repel catapult attacks. In reality, the century-old structure off the river’s eastern shore was a warehouse for bayonets, pith helmets, rifles and other military relics. The island has had a second life in recent years as a summer tourist attraction. Visitors – many who know the castle from their daily train commute to New York City – can take a tour boat or a kayak for guided tours of the island. But hard hats must be worn. Big chunks of the castle tumbled down this winter and more could fall at any time. “Every year, something deteriorates and comes down on us,� Neil Caplan of the Bannerman Castle Trust said as he gave a tour of the island recently. The castle looks both majestic and precarious, and Caplan and the trust are scrambling to raise money for repairs before it’s too far gone. This past winter was especially rough: Two walls fell down, including one facing the river bank with “BANNERMAN’S ISLAND ARSENAL� emblazoned across the top. Vegetation sprouts from the walls and the crenelated top is so degraded it looks like it’s missing teeth. The structure is named for Francis Bannerman VI, who bought the rocky, 61⠄2-acre island in 1900 as a place to warehouse items sold in his war relic store in Manhattan, some 50 miles south. (City fathers did not want him to store munitions locally.) Bannerman was an amateur ar-

BANNERMAN CASTLE: Located on Pollepel Island, N.Y.; www.BannermanCastle.org. TOURS: With cooperation from state parks, Hudson River Adventures and the Bannerman Castle Trust run boats to the island for 2 1/2-hour guided tours, May 1-Oct. 31, weekends and some weekdays, adults $30, children 11 and under, $25; http://prideofthe hudson.com/pollepel schedule.shtml or (845) 220-2120. Advance ticket purchase suggested. Boats leave from Front Street in Newburgh, N.Y., and the commuter ferry dock in Beacon, right by the

Metro-North station. Wear shoes appropriate for trails. Two companies run kayak tours on selected weekend dates. Hudson Valley Outfitters, 63 Main St., Cold Spring, N.Y., runs five- to sixhour tours for $120, which includes kayak, equipment and lunch; http://hudsonvalley outfitters.com/ or (845) 265-0221. Storm King Adventure Tours, 178 Hudson St., Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y., runs a four-hour tour for $120, which includes kayak and equipment; http:// stormkingadventure tours.com/ or (845) 5347800.

chitect with a touch of P.T. Barnum. He modeled his warehouse after castles in his native Scotland, giving it a siege-ready look with a moat and turrets. Bannerman also built an island residence much smaller than the warehouse but with the same castle motif. It’s on a high spot of land and commands

the sort of sweeping view of the Hudson Highlands that hedge fund managers pay millions for. The Bannerman family enjoyed an island retreat that was a world unto itself. They could spend idle days by the gardens, watch the ferries go upriver or sail. Down the hill was the castle and a separate

powder house, which blew up spectacularly in 1920. Family members continued to frequent the island for decades after Francis Bannerman died in 1918. The island was sold to New York state in 1967, two years before a fire gutted the castle. Left standing were the high walls familiar to Metro-North and Amtrak passengers. Bannerman Castle Trust formed in 1993 to turn the scenic ruin into a proper attraction. Caplan, a local real estate agent and bed-and-breakfast owner, has headed the trust since the beginning. The pay is modest, but he’s passionate. During a recent tour of the island for tourism industry officials and the press, he stopped a couple of times to pull weeds from the winding walking paths and actually shouted once: “This is still important to save!� Visitors can get close-up looks at the castle ruins, but must stay back because of the threat of a fresh collapse. The tour also includes a ramble through island paths that wind through rehabilitated gardens and to the house. The residence is scheduled for roof, floor and

other stabilization work this summer with the help of donations and state and federal grants. More ambitious – and expensive – work on the castle is still in the future. The castle could face more danger if the Hudson Valley gets another winter with cycles of freezing and warmer weather – which pretty much describes every recent winter here.

There are fears the island’s signature feature could become a rock pile. That would leave the trust with an even more expensive choice of whether to reconstruct a faux-castle. Caplan hopes to raise enough money before it gets to that point. “I just get antsy,� Caplan said in the shadow of the castle, “because it can come down at any time.�

Previous generations shape kids’ attitudes Q

uestion: I have heard you say that we have shamefully mismanaged the present generation of children. Explain what you meant by that. Dr. Dobson: I was referring to the many harmful influences that previous generations didn’t have to confront – at least not to the degree that we see today. That includes safe-sex ideology and violence and sexual imagery in movies, rock music and television; it refers to gang activity and drug abuse, and many other dangerous aspects of the culture. I was speaking also about the extreme emphasis on physical attractiveness and body consciousness in Western nations that is having a terrible impact on children. It can even be life-threatening to them. A study done at the University of California showed that 80 percent of girls in the fourth grade have attempted to diet because they see themselves as fat. One elementary school girl justified her dieting by saying she just wanted to be skinny so that no one would tease her. How sad it is that children in this culture have been taught to hate their bodies – to measure their worth by comparison to a standard that they can never achieve. At a time when they should be busy being kids, they’re worried about how much they weigh, how they look, and how they’re seen by others. For young girls this insistence on being thin is magnified by the cruelties of childhood. Dozens of studies now show that overweight children are held in low

regard by their peers, even at an early age. According to one investigation, silhouettes of obese children were FOCUS described by 6-year-olds ON THE as “lazy,� FAMILY “stupid� and “ugly.� Dr. James This overDobson emphasis on ■■■beauty does not occur in a vacuum, of course. Our children have caught our prejudices and our system of values. We, too, measure human worth largely on a scale of physical attractiveness. It’s bad enough when adults evaluate each other that way. It’s tragic when millions of children have already concluded that they’re hopelessly flawed, even before life has gotten started. We must take the blame for the many pressures on today’s kids. Fifty years ago, parents and other adults acted in concert to protect kids – from pornography, from sexual abuse, from harmful ideas and from dangerous substances. Millions of husbands and wives stayed together “for the benefit of the children.� It was understood that tender minds and bodies needed to be shielded from that which could hurt them. But now, child abuse, date rape and sexually transmitted disease are rampant. As the family unravels and as adults become more self-centered and preoccupied, children are often left to fend for themselves in a very dangerous world. It may be our greatest failing as a people.

Question: I find I’m more likely to say no to my children than to say yes, even when I don’t feel strongly about the permission they are seeking. I wonder why I automatically respond so negatively. Dr. Dobson: It is easy to fall into the habit of saying no to our kids. “No, you can’t go outside.� “No, you can’t have a cookie.� “No, you can’t use the telephone.� “No, you can’t spend the night with a friend.� We could have answered affirmatively to all of these requests, but we chose almost automatically to respond in the negative. Why? Because we didn’t take time to stop and think about the consequences; because the activity could cause us more work or strain; because there could be danger in the request; because our children ask for a thousand favors a day and we find it convenient to refuse them all. While every child needs to be acquainted with denial of some of his or her more extravagant wishes, there is also a need for parents to consider each request on its own merit. There are so many necessary no’s in life that we should say yes whenever we can. DR. DOBSON is founder and Chairman Emeritus of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, Colo. 80995 (www. focusonthefamily.org). Questions and answers are excerpted from “Complete Marriage and Family Home Reference Guide� and “Bringing Up Boys,� both published by Tyndale House.

Do dogs know owners will return?

D

ear Dr. Fox: I was wondering if you believe dogs have a sense of time. When we leave the house for 10 minutes, we get the same reaction as when we come home after leaving him at a kennel for three days. Also, I was told that every time we leave, the dog thinks that we will not return. Is this correct? It would seem to me this would put much stress on the animal. – D.F., New York, N.Y. Dear D.F.: Your two questions are challenging because the science of ethology, which entails observing an animal’s behavior until you can predict what he or she most likely will do next, has its limitations. Educated guesses in the interpretation of animal behavior are excusable and could lead to further noninvasive research observation and hypothesis testing to advance our understanding and appreciation of animals. Separation (being apart from his pack, i.e., you and your family) is timeless. It is all or nothing, so he greets you with the same intensity regardless of how long you were gone. But that does not mean to say that the duration of separation doesn’t count. The longer duration is worse for some pining and anxious dogs who can even die if their condition is not recognized. My wife Deanna and I had a beloved dog Tanza whom she rescued and brought home from Tanzania. Tanza would ignore us for a day or two (after a brief welcome) if we were away from home for any length of time. I do not believe there is any evidence pro or con regarding whether dogs think we will not return once they have had a few experiences of being alone for a period of time. But some

dogs may be more cognitively challenged than others. Dear Dr. Fox: I have a question concerning theraANIMAL py cats. My friend lives in a condo DOCTOR that does not allow animals. HowDr. Michael ever, she baby-sat Fox a cat for a woman ■■■who was going out of town. This cat belonged to her husband who was an invalid. It is a therapy cat, and the condo allowed them to have the feline in their apartment. My friend would like to “qualify� to get a therapy cat. I assume one must get a note from an MD stating that this is necessary for a patient’s quality of health. How does one qualify to be eligible for a therapy cat? – C.C., Newport Beach, Fla. Dear C.C.: Most people qualify because we all derive some health benefits from animal companionship, unless they are allergic to animals or are terrified of them. Any good primary-care physician worth his or her salt would write an official letter supporting a patient’s medical need for a companion animal and that it would be against the best interests of the patient to be denied the benefits of animal companionship, the therapeutic value of which is a medical fact. People should not be separated from their beloved animals simply because it is a condo or assisted-living or retirementhome rule. Every effort should be made to keep the elderly and infirm/handicapped with their animal companions because, with rare exception, they provide therapeutic benefit (most often emotional) to their owner caregivers.

Medicare is divided into four parts Q

How many parts to Medicare are there?

A. There are four parts to Medicare: • Part A (hospital insurance) helps pay for inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing care, hospice care and other services; • Part B (doctor insurance) helps pay for doctors’ fees, outpatient hospital visits, and other medical services and supplies that are not covered by Part A; • Part C (Medicare Advantage) plans, available in some areas, allow you to choose to receive all of your health-care services through a provider organization. These plans may help lower your costs of receiving medical services, or you may get extra benefits for an additional monthly fee. You must have both Parts A and B to enroll in Part C; and • Part D (prescription drug coverage) is voluntary and the costs are paid for by the monthly premiums of enrollees and Medicare. Unlike Part B in which you are automatically enrolled and must opt out if you do not want it, with Part D you have to opt in by filling out a form and enrolling in an approved plan. More information may be found in our publication Medicare at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10043.html or by visiting www.medicare.gov. Q. I hear some older people discussing the “notch.” What is that? A. The term “notch” refers to Social Security benefits paid to people born between 1917 and 1921. The notch resulted from a 1972 change in the Social Security law that provided an annual automatic cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for

SOCIAL SECURITY

benefits. The formula used to calculate the COLA was flawed, and the benefit levels actually rose faster than the rate of inflation. Before the Congress corrected this error in 1977, the benefits for many people born between 1910 and 1916 were calculated using the flawed benefit formula, and they received an unintended windfall from Social Security. When the Congress fixed the mistake, it wanted to avoid an abrupt change for those who were about to retire, so it provided a transition period. Therefore, when Social Security benefits are calculated for people born between 1917 and 1921, two computations are used. One calculation uses the new (and correct) 1977 formula, and the other uses a special transition formula. Benefits are based on whichever calculation pays the higher benefit. Benefits for everyone born in 1922 and later are calculated using only the new and correct 1977 formula which generally results in lower benefits than those computed using the “notch” calculation method.

Swimwear cover-ups make splash at cocktail party BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP FASHION WRITER

N

EW YORK – The dress that makes the biggest splash at this summer’s soiree might not be a dress at all. Swim cover-ups can make chic, comfortable and relatively inexpensive cocktail dresses, and they pack down to almost nothing in a suitcase. The season’s top styles – one-shoulder silhouettes, metallic hardware and rich jewel colors, among them – make the easy transition from day to night because they’re infused with a little everyday glamour. “Many of the fashion trends for spring are translating to swim: There’s ethnic with tribal prints, patterns and animal prints, embellishments with more ’organic’ trim and beadwork, ruffles and ruffle trims. Floral prints are very happening in spring and beachwear,” says Colleen Sherin, fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue. “I do think the designs in swim are becoming more sophisticated. Swimwear designers seem influenced by ready-to-wear and a lot of ready-to-wear designers are designing beachwear. You can have Gucci to Pucci.” Carmen Marc Valvo made the leap from eveningwear, his specialty, to swimwear, and says it was a seamless process. “Unlike sportswear, eveningwear is very exposed and swimwear is even more bare. They’re similar. They both have a lot of draping, and I can work with tricot as if it were chiffon.” And the same tricks he employs to create flattering gowns work here too, Valvo says: The obi sash narrows the waist; halters flatter the neckline; ruching is shorthand for camouflage. Customer demand really got him into the

Swim cover-ups can make chic, comfortable and relatively inexpensive cocktail dresses – and they pack down to almost nothing in a suitcase. swimwear business, when after a trunk show in Palm Beach, Fla., he sold out of some nylonLycra jumpsuits he threw in on a whim. “The average woman has only a few occasions for evening dresses, but everyone loves to sit in the sun. This is for both,” he says. Saks’ Sherin notes that cover-ups are making up at least half of the swimwear business for some brands. “It’s an important part of the beachwear business. I do think that reason is the added value or the ability to wear two or three ways.” There’s also more flexibility in sizing, notes Rosemarie DiLorenzo, co-founder and creative director of Swimwear Anywhere, the manufacturer of designer licenses such as Valvo, Marc Jacobs and DKNY. “You think about how many purposes it serves — and how many types of women it will fit.” The inspiration for so many of these cover-ups come straight from the catwalk, such as Michael

Kors’ chain-link belts and clear plastic panels, and Jacobs’ ruffles. But you’re not paying runway prices for these pieces. For example, Valvo’s dresses typically sell in the $500-$1,000 range; a dress from the swimwear collection is closer to $150. “Fancy, fancy kaftans – which can be $600 with sequins – are the best cocktail dresses of all time, if I do say so myself,” says Kiran Rai, creative director of the Satya Rai label. “The fit is sexy when the draping is done in a way that’s form-fitting,” she says. “But there are some really horrendous kaftans. I call those a muumuu.” Rai even wears her scarf-print kaftans to work in the middle of Manhattan. “I started this collection because I traveled so much. I wanted to be able to rumple up my clothes and wear them to so many different places.” The cover-up that can also be a dress also is never fully sheer, nor shapeless or cinched just under the bustline. “You need to shop for it like a

dress. You need to try it on and get the right size,” Rai advises. And don’t forget the accessories, adds Sherin. Wooden or gold bangle bracelets, sunglasses, a sharp tote and thong sandals complete the package, she says. “It’s really a complete head-to-toe look for these cover-ups. We’re seeing our customer really likes creating a look around the swimsuit – and then wearing it all day long. . You really don’t need much else if you’re going away to a resort or beach location, and you can wear this to lunch, cocktails and dinner.” The one place Valvo isn’t sure about wearing the cover-ups is too near the actual surf. Poolside or the beach cabana is more appropriate for the plunging V-neck or backless silhouettes that he favors, he explains. “This is about the yacht and looking beautiful. I don’t think you go in the water in them.”

Attack high cholesterol through diet first D

ear Dr. Donohue: My wife went to her doctor, who said everything was fine except for her high cholesterol. I would like to know the foods a person can eat to lower cholesterol. I am interested in foods that keep our arteries from clogging. – J.D. You don’t need a mealby-meal plan. You don’t need a list of foods you can and cannot eat. All that’s required is a grasp of the big picture, which is eating a plant-based diet and limiting meats and wholefat dairy products. Meat-eating should be pared down, because meat contains a good deal of fat, and fat raises blood cholesterol. Eat at least two fish meals a week. Fish contain omega-3 fatty acids, materials that lower cholesterol, prevent heart attacks and strokes, and

keep arteries from clogging. Processed meats should not be regular items in HEALTH your diet. Processed Dr. Paul meats are Donohue things like â– â– â– luncheon meats, salami, sausage and hot dogs. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are a plantcentered diet. Plants have no cholesterol. Whole grains include flours and flour products made with grains that have not been refined. They retain their outer coat, their bran. Whole-wheat breads, whole-grain cereals and brown rice are examples of whole grains. All vegetables are good. Pick a variety, and eat vegetables

Economic education Junior Achievement opens students to marketplace BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT — David Ogren’s pile of colorful money triggered a rapid spurt of questions. “How many dollars is this one?” asked one student. Ogren, a Junior Achievement volunteer, showed the sixth-grade students in Sandra Fulton’s social studies class at Welborn Academy of Science and

Technology how to make the calculation. “Why don’t they use dollars in that country?” asked another student. Ogren’s money samples ranged from the euro to his favorite, the colorful krona from Sweden. “You have to make the exchange everywhere you go,” he said. “Many countries will not take dollars.” Ogren, a retired LADD Furniture employee who worked in advertising and traveled to 44 countries during his career, has appeared in classrooms for 10 years. “For 99 percent of the students, if not 100 percent, Junior Achievement is their first real-world exposure to the basics of our free enterprise economic system and, specifically,

how global trade affects their everyday lives,” Ogren said after the classroom session. Ogren, who also is affiliated with Planet Designs & Imports Inc., explains trade in simple terms to students. “It requires a customer, or buyer, and a seller,” he said. “If you go to Walmart, you are a customer.” High Point’s market offers an example of supply and demand. “Furniture makers are suppliers,” Ogren told the students. “The buyers are demand. In economic terms, you are part of the demand when you buy something.” JA programs cost nothing for schools. The organization raises money

AP

A shrimp boat is used to collect oil from last month’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico in the waters of Chandeleur Sound, La. A readersubmitted question about the feasibility of using a vacuum-type suction device that could suck up some of the oil is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Issues include immigration bills, sucking up spilled oil THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s a simple idea that makes sense, at least in theory, as a solution to the Gulf oil spill: Why not just suck up the oil with a massive vacuum device? A query about the feasibility of such an approach is one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question. You can also tweet your questions to AP, using the AskAP hashtag. Q. I saw a story in the paper with the headline, “Pennsylvania legislators hope to mirror Arizona’s immigration bill,” and I was wondering: Are many other states following suit? Robert Wainwright Johnstown, Pa. A. After Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a controversial bill against illegal immigration April 23, Republican lawmakers in Minnesota, Pennsylvania and South Carolina introduced similar legislation in their state capitols. The effort in Minnesota died when the legislative session ended May 17, and the bid in South Carolina appears headed for the same fate as lawmakers prepare to adjourn June 3. The legislative

session in Pennsylvania runs to early December but the bill has shown little traction yet. Ann Morse, who monitors immigration legislation for the National Conference of State Legislatures, said lawmakers are wary about paying for anticipated legal challenges and will likely wait to see how the Arizona law fares in court. A Texas legislator plans to introduce a similar bill in next year’s legislative session. Elliot Spagat Associated Press Writer, San Diego Q. On the Gulf oil spill: I’ve read that they’ve attempted to burn the oil, contain it with booms and have microbes eat it, but all have failed due to weather and sea conditions. Isn’t there some vacuum-type suction device that could suck up at least some of the oil from the surface? Sonja Hric Portland, Ore. A. BP is using chemical dispersants to fight the oil spill, but at least one high-profile advocate has convinced the company to employ devices that essentially would vacuum up the oil. Kevin Costner has invested more than $24 million to develop centrifuge devices designed to clean water polluted by oil. He and a business partner, New Orleans attorney John Houghtaling II, successfully lobbied

government officials to urge BP to lease the machines from their company, Ocean Therapy Solutions. On Tuesday, a BP official said the devices will be tested within a week. Houghtaling says the devices are capable of cleaning up to 200 gallons of water per minute, or 210,000 gallons per day, by separating the oil and storing it in tanks. Houghtaling said Costner has been working on the project for more than a decade, building on technology developed by the federal government, but hadn’t found any takers in the oil industry before this spill.

U.S. 321 widening continues BY NATHAN KEY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

LENOIR – The completion of the U.S. 321 widening project in northern Caldwell County is getting closer, though work is expected to last until at least September. The 6.57-mile widening from Kirby Mountain Road to Blackberry Road is 21 months past its original completion date of Aug. 15, 2008, but the pace has picked up with additional blasting time

allowed for the southern end of the project, where the bulk of construction remains. “We’re starting to get real close,” said Frank Gioscio, North Carolina Department of Transportation resident engineer for the project. “We’re at a point where we can see light at the end of the tunnel. We’re still looking at a possible completion date in September.” W.C. English Co. General Superintendent Henry McDaniel shared that sentiment.

“I’d like to see it finished,” he said of the project. “We’ve been here longer than we though we’d be. I think everybody is looking forward to and working toward getting the job to its end.” The DOT allowed English to vary from its blasting schedule to expedite the project, particularly work at the southern end of the job site. The amended schedule allows blasting to be done on Mondays and Wednesdays as well as Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Wood scraps go up in smoke to help economy BY LARRY CLARK MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

NEWTON – New jobs can be built from old wood. That’s what Catawba County and a host of supporters think about the county’s EcoComplex at the Blackburn Landfill. The county already is producing electricity from landfill gas. The next step is to build a bio-energy system that will burn wood waste to make more electricity and

thermal energy. Catawba County commissioners last week gave the go-ahead to develop a bio-energy system that is expected to be up and running by the fall of 2012. The projected cost is $20.7 million. Over the 20 years of the loan needed to build the system, the county estimates a net profit of more than $4.4 million. The commissioners’ vote came at Catawba Valley Community College where university officials and faculty, a UNC Board of Governors member, industry representatives

and county staff discussed the value of the EcoComplex and the bioenergy facility. The technology is amazing and the profits tantalizing, but the project was put into focus by Scott Millar, president of the Catawba County Economic Development Corp. “The ability to generate green energy will put the county at a competitive advantage,” he said about the EDC’s efforts to recruit new industry. “Green power is attractive to many businesses.”

Bush: Book begins with decision to quit drinking D

ALLAS (AP) – George W. Bush said last week that his upcoming book begins with an anecdote about his wife persuading him to give up drinking by pushing him to decide whether he preferred booze to fatherhood. Bush said “Decision Points,” due out in November, opens with the scene and him questioning whether he loved booze more than his wife, Laura. He said he realized he had an addictive personality and quit cold turkey. That act set him on the path to the presidency, Bush said in his address to a wind energy convention in downtown Dallas. Bush said the book is less autobiography and more an analysis of key decisions in his life, both before and after he was president. Topics include the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the troop surge in Iraq and his responses to terrorists attacks and Hurricane Katrina. He said he hopes the book will be a tool for historians evaluating his presidency. “I don’t think you can come to a definitive conclusion about a presidency until the passage of time,” Bush said. Bush, who left office in January 2009 and moved with his wife to Dallas, appeared relaxed and in good humor throughout

NYC seeks developer for jazz museum in Harlem NEW YORK (AP) – New York City is seeking a developer to build a new home for the National Jazz Museum at a city-owned lot across the street from the Apollo Theater.

The 10,000-square-foot site also will house the ImageNation Sol Cinema, an art house movie theater. The city’s Economic Development Corp. last week issued a request for

proposals seeking a developer for the project. The site was the former home of Mart 125, a market where vendors rented space. The market closed in 2001.

The 63-yearold riffed on retirement, joking that he was playing shuffleboard after the speech and his domestic agenda now consists of taking out the trash and doing the dishes. He also joked about the comedown of postpresidential life, saying

he realized how different his life was when he was walking his dog Barney through his new neighborhood. “There I was,” Bush said. “Former president of the United States, with a plastic bag in my hand, picking up what I had been dodging for eight solid years.”

Message in a bottle The latest fourth plinth commission, British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare’s “Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle” is seen after being unveiled last week in Trafalgar Square, London. The piece is a scale replica of Lord Nelson’s ship, HMS Victory, in a giant bottle and reflects on the historic symbolism of Trafalgar Square, which commemorates the battle of Trafalgar between the British navy and the fleets of the French and Spanish navies in 1805.

In the past two years, the newspaper business has faced unprecedented challenges, but make no mistake: newspaper media - print and digital - remains strong and will emerge from the current environment an even stronger multi-platform force.

104Million 61% 40% 56% 52% TONS MOST Number of adults who read a print newspaper every day, more than 115 million on Sunday. That’s more than the Super Bowl (94 million), American Idol (23 million) or the average late local news (65 million.)

18-24 year olds and 25-34 year olds who read a newspaper in an average week. 65% of everyone in those age groups read a newspaper or visited a newspaper website that week.

Households with unique visitors to newspaper websites in an average month.

According to Google, percentage of consumers that have researched or purchased products they saw in a newspaper.

Percentage of people who are more likely to buy a product if it is seen in the paper.

Number of creative options for advertisers choosing to utilize the newspaper. From belly bands, polybags, post-it notes, scented ads, taste-it ads, glow-in-the-dark and temporary tattoos, as well as event and database marketing, behavioral targeting, e-mail blasts, e-newsletters and more.

Newspapers make a larger investment in journalism than any other medium. Most of the information you already read from “aggregators” and other media originated with newspapers. No amount of effort from local bloggers, non-profit news entities or TV news sources could match the depth and breadth of newspaperproduced content.

This is not a portrait of a dying industry. It’s illustrative of transformation. Newspapers are reinventing themselves to focus on serving distinct audiences with a variety of products, and delivering those audiences effectively to advertisers across media channels.

Hot Veggie, Salad & Dessert Bar All Day, Every Day

When Nick and Esther Asprogiannis decided to open the Peppermill Cafe they turned over the reigns of Nick’s Sub Shop to Ernest and Alexandra Mellonas. Ernest explains; we are all in the same family so when my wife and I took over we kept the (Nick’s) name, the same authentic family recipes and tradition going just as it was back in 1987 when Nick’s ďŹ rst opened it’s doors. We have made a few changes along the way. We changed our name to Nick’s Sub Shop & Grill to let our new customers know that we cook our food to order when you place your order. We also gave our dining room a makeover by having local artist Phil Cristman paint murals of various monuments and places in Greece. We invite you to come and try one of our new menu items. We are now serving chicken wings that come in amounts of 6, 12 or 24 with your choice of BBQ, mild, hot or extra hot sauce. We also have taken our famous Greek Salad and made it better. Now you can have your Greek Salad topped with Gyro meat or Pork Souvlaki as well as our Marinated Chicken. We offer a variety of classic Subs, Salads,and Sandwiches.As well as Greek, American & Italian Dishes. Whether you’re in the mood for a delicious Gyro on Pita cooked on our vertical broiler and made with the freshest ingredients, a juicy Greek Burger and Fries, or how about our mouth-watering Marinated Chicken Sub, a classic Streak & Cheese Sub. You can also try one of our Italian Dishes such as our Baked Spaghetti with meatballs. For the diet conscience person we have 16 different salads to choose from. We have everything from the ofďŹ cial salad of Greece “The Greek Saladâ€? that comes with our very own Grecian Dressing or an all American
