GREENSBORO – The Triad has waited several years for the completion of Piedmont Triad International Airport’s current projects. That day has come. Airport officials, joined by Joe Stephens, FedEx managing director for Greensboro, Federal Aviation Administration regional administrator Doug Murphy and Congressman Howard Coble, held a dedication for PTIA’s newest runway on Saturday. “The work that we’re celebrating is not the end but rather the beginning for PTIA,” said Henry Issacson, chairman of the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority. Construction of the runway was the last of three major projects – the building of the FedEx Corp. hub and the relocation of
Bryan Boulevard were the other two – in the works at PTIA and completed this year. The runway officially opened in January. “This infrastructure could be deemed the Triad’s field of dreams, ‘if you build it, they will come.’ These projects mean that we can build the economy,” Stephens said. “We worked hard with people in the community to better market the area and seek, attract, grow and retain new business with this new runway.” Coble said this runway will have a statewide and national impact. It is also a direct link to our regional economy. “This runway, in my opinion, represents the future of the Piedmont Triad,” Coble said. Before the dedication ceremony, a 5K run was held, and hundreds came out to run and walk on the new runway. Officials said

FINAL ADIEU: Davidson schools hold graduations. 1B
BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
TRIAD – Is your tax burden high, low or just middling? It may depend upon how you look at it and how much income you have. The good news is that most of the numbers are down slightly this year. Each year, area local government officials battle over the property tax and whether to raise the rate. Guilford County workers pay 2.93 percent of income on average, or $1,085, for property taxes. That rate ranks 16th statewide and the amount eighth, according to John Locke Foundation figures. The Guilford figures compare with 2.07 percent for Randolph and 2.04 percent for Davidson on the percentage of income for rankings of 70th and 71st. The tax burden per capita is $561 in Randolph and $599 in Davidson. Although the percentages are down slightly, the report confirmed that residents in rural counties pay taxes and fees considerably less than urban residents.

Triad: At 5.42 percent, Guilford County ranked 16th in the percentage of income residents pay for the local burden of taxes and fees. Durham was 12th at 5.85 percent, followed Forsyth, 45th at 4.81 percent, Davidson, 88th at 3.7 percent and Randolph 79th at 3.9 percent. At 5.42 percent, Guilford County ranked among the state’s top 25 counties in local tax and fee burden expressed as a share of income. The percentage was down 1.4 percent from 2007, however. Several other Triad counties
ranked near the state median of 4.71 percent: Alamance at 5.04 percent, down .3 percent; Rockingham at 4.81 percent, down .4 percent and Forsyth at 4.81 percent, down 1.7 percent from 2007. Other Triad-area counties ranked among the 25 counties with the lowest local tax and fee burdens as a percentage of income: Randolph at 3.93 percent, up 4 percent and Davidson at 3.68 percent, up 5.6 percent. With many workers earning less money, taxes become a bigger problem as the bills take a larger portion of household income. That’s why more county commissioners have been outspoken against raising property taxes. “There are people out there who have lost jobs and had their

TRIAD – North Carolinians pay more than 30 percent of their paychecks to taxes, with about 5 percent going to local governments and 6 percent to state government. “Federal collections raise the total tax burden on North Carolinians to approximately 30.6 percent of personal income, on average,” said Michael Lowrey, a John Locke Foundation policy analyst and author of the “By the Numbers” annual report. The state median for the local tax and fee burden was $1,330 in 2008, according to JLF, down 2.3 percent from 2007. According to the nonpartisan national Tax Foundation, North Carolina ranks 28th for state and local per-capita tax burden for fiscal year 2008, with an average of $3,663 paid per person. Virginia ranks ninth at $4,669 per capita and Georgia 23rd at $3,735. Tennessee ranks 42nd at $3,160
and South Carolina ranks 45th at $3,127 per capita. North Carolina collected $19 billion in state tax and fee revenues from July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008, according to JLF. That’s 6.2 percent of state residents’ personal income. Local governments collected an additional $15.1 billion in property, sales, and other taxes and fees. That’s another 4.9 percent of personal income. Property taxes alone consumed 2.29 percent of personal income in the 2008 budget year, or about $650 per person. The range was $1,919 per person in Dare County to $345 per person in Swain County. “We know that the long-term trends show that the cost of local government is rising in North Carolina,” Lowrey said. The best way to compare local figures is to use cities or counties of similar size and demographics, according to the JLF experts. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

house foreclosed who just can’t afford a tax increase,” Guilford County Board of Commissioners Chairman Skip Alston said during May budget discussions. Although the average resident in the median county forked over 4.71 percent of personal income to local government in 2008, the average North Carolinian actually fares worse, said report author Michael Lowrey, a John Locke Foundation policy analyst. “The average North Carolinian actually pays a higher percentage, since many of the state’s larger counties have above-average local tax and fee burdens. When this is factored in, a state average would amount to 4.93 percent of personal income,” Lowrey said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

The suspect is described as a black male, 20-30 years old, 5 foot 9 inches tall, 150 pounds, with a tear drop tattoo under his left eye and multiple tattoos on his left arm. He was last seen wearing a green New York Yankees logo baseball cap, a white T-shirt, and blue jeans. Anyone with information about this crime or who knows the identity of the suspect is encouraged to call High Point Crimestoppers at 8894000, or Detective Heather Meyer at 887-7841.
Thomasville rejects consultant’s offer BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
THOMASVILLE – A panel of Thomasville City Council members has denied a request from a consultant who wanted to assist the city with economic development efforts. Robert Stark, of Stark Associates, requested last week that the City Council pay him $7,000 per month and $1.25 per mile. Stark submitted a proposal to the city’s Personnel/Finance Committee this week that stated all of his ideas to work with the city on economic development issues. The committee reached a consensus to deny the request. “We are not interested in doing this,” said Councilman Raleigh York Jr., the committee’s chairman. “We don’t have the money to do that. We gave him the opportunity if he would like to work on some grants for us, we would be able to look at those and offer him any fee that goes along with that obligation to pay him. We just got our budget ready to go for next year, and we have squeezed everything out that we can.” According to York, Stark
is the former planning director for the city of Concord. In a memo to the City Manager Kelly Craver, Stark said he wanted to work on economic development issues based on priority. He said he wanted to help getting Thomasville’s “face out there” and contact businesses that the city may be able to help. York said Stark’s ideas are not typically items he would associate with economic development. “He’s got a lot of good ideas,” York said. “There’s certainly no doubt about that. Some of them I liked and some of them I didn’t like as good. A lot of things he’s proposing are things that other people are going to have to approve.” One of Stark’s ideas was to contact the Baptist Children’s Home of North Carolina to see if leaders there would like to add a retirement center to their Thomasville campus. He said the facility could generate 100 to 200 jobs. If the city hired him, Stark said his intention was to secure enough grant money than the city would be paying him.
ACCURACY...
TRIAD – High Point taxpayers, and others across the state, got a slight tax break on local government taxes and fees in 2008, according to an annual ranking report. High Point ranked No. 11 at $1,958 per person, down just $2, but enough to drop the city three positions during the 2008 budget year, according to the Center for Local Innovation report. The report showed local taxes are the highest in Charlotte and Dare County. But overall, the percentage most North Carolinians pay in taxes dropped slightly. Among other Triad cities, taxes and fees topped $1,971 per person in Greensboro to push the city to No. 9 in the tax-burden rankings of North Carolina’s largest communities. Winston-Salem was No. 16 at $1,822, according to John Locke Foundation, a Raleigh-based conservative think tank. The list compared 32 municipalities with at least 25,000 residents. Only Jacksonville and Indian Trail ranked below Thomasville on the list of larger cities.

How Guilford County ranks against others with tax rates. 1A Tax Foundation ranks North Carolina 28th for state and local percapita tax burden. 1A “This report helps taxpayers evaluate whether the services they receive from local government merit what they are paying for them,” said Joseph Coletti, JLF director of health care and fiscal policy studies. “We hope taxpayers will continue to ask about the proper role of local government and its relationship to the state. It’s important to keep these discussions alive and to ensure our local leaders remain accountable to taxpayers.” Other Triad-area communities ranked among the bottom quarter of medium-sized communities, including Archdale at $1,272 for 77th and Trinity at $948 for 87th. “The typical resident of the median county in North Carolina paid $1,330 in taxes and fees to county and municipal gov-

RALEIGH (AP) – A haunting 150-year-old photo found in a North Carolina attic shows a young black child named John, barefoot and wearing ragged clothes, perched on a barrel next to another unidentified young boy. Art historians believe it’s an extremely rare Civil War-era photograph of children who were either slaves at the time or recently emancipated. The photo, which may have been taken in the early 1860s, was a testament to a dark part of American history, said Will Stapp, a photographic historian and founding curator of the National Portrait Gallery’s photographs department at the Smithsonian Institution. “It’s a very difficult and poignant piece of American history,” he said. “What you are looking at when you look at this photo are two boys who were victims of that history.” In April, the photo was found at a moving sale in Charlotte, accompanied by a document detailing the sale of John for $1,150, not a small sum in 1854. New York collector Keya Morgan said he paid $30,000 for the photo album including the photo of the young boys and several family pictures and $20,000 for the sale document. Morgan said
the deceased owner of the home where the photo was found was thought to be a descendant of John. A portrait of slave children is rare, Morgan said. “I buy stuff all the time, but this shocked me,” he said. What makes the picture an even more compelling find is that several art experts said it was created by the photography studio of Mathew Brady, a famous 19th-century photographer known for his portraits of historical figures such as President Abraham Lincoln and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. Stapp said the photo was probably not taken by Brady himself but by Timothy O’Sullivan, one of Brady’s apprentices. O’Sullivan took a multitude of photos depicting the carnage of the Civil War. In 1862, O’Sullivan famously photographed a group of some of the first slaves liberated after Lincoln issued his preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. Such photos were circulated in the North by abolitionists to garner support for the Union during the Civil War, said Harold Holzer, an author of several books about Lincoln.

ernments,” said report author Michael Lowrey, a John Locke Foundation policy analyst. Foundation experts stress that a high cost-of-government ranking in the report does not mean that a city or county is governed poorly. “Cities and counties often pay the costs of mandates from the state and federal governments, but many local governments also create their own fiscal problems through overspending,” Coletti said. Lowrey used the most recent data available from the State Treasurer, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Bureau of Economic Analysis to devise rankings of local government costs on a perperson basis. “The good news is that the total is down from the inflation-adjusted (average) figure of $1,355 for the 2007 budget year. Next year’s report is bound to show an increase in local tax burden as 2009 and 2008 figures are compared on an inflation-adjusted basis,” Lowrey said. Researchers treated storm-water fees as part of a municipality’s total government collections.

Cook book has stories behind odd names WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Amanda Murray’s grandmother makes a cookie called Tom Piperson’s Pig. Murray likes them not only because they’re yummy but also because, after eating one, she can say, “I ate a whole pig.� “It’s like eating a pig without eating a pig,� Murray said. Murray’s grandmother – Thelma Minard – just put out a cookbook about foods with odd names — Toad-in-the-Hole, Bouncing Babies, Dutchman’s Breeches. Tom Piperson’s Pig made the cover. Minard, who lives in Woodbridge, Va., has written for The Washington Post and wrote a weekly food column for the New Hampshire Star. She had been thinking for 50 years about writing the book that became Tom Piperson’s Pig and Other Culinary Delights: An Unusual Cookbook. “I liked the idea that you have titles of recipes that don’t tell you what the main ingredient is or the place on the menu,� Minard said. Nearing 90, it was time to act With her 90th birthday coming up – it has since arrived – Minard decided that it was time to get around to taking action. Along with the recipes, the book includes the stories of how the dishes came to have their names. The decision to write and self-publish it has had positive fringe benefits for others in her family. Murray, for one, made what was for her a bold move – she asked Tracy
Beltran, a manager and coowner of Barnhill’s Books Wine Art Gifts, on Burke Street, whether she would be willing to carry her grandmother’s book. Stepping forward like that was unusual for her. Murray, 21, has Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism, and people with Asperger’s can experience significant difficulties in social situations. “I am an incredibly shy person,� Murray said. “I don’t really go up to people and talk.� Murray regularly participates in activities at the iCan House, which has programs for people with autism and their families. The iCan House is on Fourth Street just around the corner from Barnhill’s, and, after Murray took in a copy of Tom Piperson’s Pig to show to people at iCan House one day, she and her boyfriend, Jay Asbury, happened to stop in at Barnhill’s. After poking around a bit, she acted on the impulse to approach Beltran and say, “Hey, “I have a book published by the grandmother.� After looking at it, Beltran said she would be happy to carry it. “We support independent authors,� Beltran said. “Anytime somebody brings something like this, we’re all for it.� Book signing Minard was already planning to come down to visit, and the store set up a signing, which happened on Friday. Murray’s mother, Anne Murray, saw it all as a real milestone in her daughter’s development. “I was amazed when

Man faces multiple sexual exploitation charges MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
ASHEBORO – Randolph County authorities have charged a man with additional sexual exploitation of a child. Randolph County Sheriff’s Office detectives on April 27th executed a search warrant at 1266 Holly Oak Dr in Randleman. The Detectives were investigating the illegal trade of child pornography on the Internet, according to a news release. A search of the residence led to the

Silcox was arrested on May 10 and placed under a $25,000 secured bond at the Randolph County jail. After a thorough forensic scan of the digital evidence seized, detectives located an additional 11 images/videos of child
pornography and charged Silcox with 11 counts of second degree sexual exploitation of a child. Silcox was arrested on the additional charges on Saturday and placed under a $500,000 secured bond at the Randolph County jail.

Top vote-getter faces limited power share in Iraq
Alleged spy arrested in Hamas slaying BERLIN (AP) – An alleged Mossad spy from Israel wanted in connection with the hit-squad slaying of a Hamas agent in Dubai has been arrested in Poland, officials said Saturday. The man, using the name Uri Brodsky, is suspected of working for Mossad in Germany and helping to issue a fake German passport to a member of the Mossad operation that allegedly killed Hamas agent Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai in January, a spokesman for the German federal prosecutor’s office told The Associated Press. Brodsky was arrested in early June upon his arrival in Poland because of a European arrest warrant issued by Germany which is now seeking his extradition, the spokesman said.
UN reviews Taliban, al-Qaida blacklist KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – Fueling momentum for a political solution to the nearly nine-yearold Afghan war, a U.N. committee is reviewing whether certain people could be removed from a blacklist that freezes assets and limits travel of key Taliban and al-Qaida figures, the top U.N. representative said Saturday. Delegates to a national conference, or peace jirga, held this month in Kabul called on the government and its international partners to remove some of the 137 people from the list – a long-standing demand of the Taliban. “De-listing was one of the clear messages coming from the peace jirga,� Staffan de Mistura, the top U.N. representative in Afghanistan, told reporters. “The U.N. is listening to what the peace jirga is saying. Some of the people in the list may not be alive anymore. The list may be completely outdated.�

BAGHDAD (AP) – The Sunni-backed political alliance that won Iraq’s parliamentary election three months ago now faces being sidelined in the new government, outmaneuvered by Shiite rivals and beset by infighting. As the new parliament convenes Monday, the outcome is serving as a lesson in Iraq’s nascent democracy, where rules can bend. It also, more ominously, raises the possibility of a revitalized insurgency if Sunnis conclude that they have no place in government as U.S. troops pull out of Iraq. Led by a former prime minister, the secular Iraqiya alliance is struggling to capture key government posts – a task that should have been all but certain after it took more than a quarter of parliament’s 325 seats in the March 7 vote. Iraqiya won 91 seats, two more than its closest rival. But Iraqiya leader Ayad Allawi, a secular Shiite, has little if any chance to reclaim the prime minister’s job he held in 2004-05, and
risks top Cabinet positions for Sunni allies if he insists on it, according to Iraqi officials close to ongoing al-Maliki negotiations. Iraqiya “might have no postelection role,� Hassan al-Alawi, a senior Iraqiya leader, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “They are walking a dangerous route.� He added: “Allawi will never be the PM.� Iraqiya’s victory was initially heralded as a groundbreaking step toward a secular Iraqi government after years of Sunni-Shiite tensions. But a back-room deal between two major Shiite coalitions birthed a new bloc, the National Alliance, aimed at wresting power from Iraqiya and dominating parliament with a combined 159 seats. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki leads the new bloc’s two or three top contenders to run the majority Shiite country.

Anniversary of Iran vote passes quietly TEHRAN, Iran – The one-year anniversary of Iran’s disputed election passed quietly Saturday with little more than a subdued Internet appeal by opposition leaders for supporters to speak out on the Web against government repression. Fearing bloodshed and calculating that it would gain them nothing, the movement’s leaders called off a day of mass protests, reflecting their increasing powerlessness against the government’s military muscle.
US, Iraqi forces kill 2 in raid south of Baghdad BAGHDAD – The U.S. military says Americanbacked Iraqi security forces killed two suspected insurgents and arrested seven others south of Baghdad. Iraqi officials say the two killed were civilians and complained that the local government had not been notified before Saturday’s raid. The U.S. military has frequently been criticized for civilian deaths but the issue has surfaced less frequently since American forces turned over security responsibility to the Iraqi government.
Belgians vote on future, united country in doubt BRUSSELS – Belgium’s 6.5 million Dutch and 4 million French-speakers are locked in an unhappy, quarrelsome union, and voters in a general election today might well favor the prospect of a political divorce down the road. A mainstream Flemish party that is expected to do well is invoking the concept of irreconcilable differences to seek a separation and, in time, take the country’s Dutch-speaking Flanders region into the European Union as a separate country.
Slovakia coalition fighting for survival BRATISLAVA, Slovakia – Slovakia’s three party governing coalition was fighting for survival in a parliamentary election on Saturday, challenged in a tight race by the center-right opposition. Prime Minister Robert Fico’s left-leaning party – which has promised to maintain the welfare state, in contrast to the budget-cutting being implemented in several other European countries – appeared according to polls to be heading for the largest share of the vote.
Finland’s governing party picks female leader HELSINKI – Finland’s governing Center Party elected a young woman as its new leader on Saturday, hoping to reunite the party and reverse the trend of waning support ahead of next year’s parliamentary election. Mari Kiviniemi, 41, the minister responsible for municipal affairs, also is expected to be named prime minister next week when Matti Vanhanen resigns. She defeated veteran centrist politician Mauri Pekkarinen, 62, the economic affairs minister, in a second round of voting 1,357 to 1,035.
Cuba frees 1 political prisoner, transfers 6 PEDRO BETANCOURT, Cuba – Cuba has freed one of its ailing political prisoners and is transferring six others closer to home in a deal with the Catholic Church. Freed prisoner Ariel Sigler is one of 75 activists, community organizers and journalists who were arrested in a sweeping 2003 government crackdown on dissidents. Sigler is confined to a wheelchair. He told The Associated Press that he was released Saturday in Pedro Betancourt, his hometown. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Ethnic riots sweep Kyrgyzstan OSH, Kyrgyzstan (AP) – Ethnic riots wracked southern Kyrgyzstan on Saturday, forcing thousands of Uzbeks to flee as their homes were torched by roving mobs of Kyrgyz men.

Coast Guard tells BP to speed up containment pace
AP
A woman cries outside the family center in Lodi, Ark., Saturday, while waiting for word about relatives missing after a flash flood swept through a popular campground, killing numerous people. Rescue crews took to kayaks, horseback and ATVs on Saturday to resume the desperate search for about two dozen campers still missing.
Police: About 2 dozen missing after Arkansas flood LANGLEY, Ark. (AP) – Rescue crews took to kayaks, horseback and ATVs on Saturday to resume the desperate search for about two dozen campers still missing after flash floods swept through a popular campground, killing at least 17 people. The pre-dawn Friday surge along the Caddo and Little Missouri rivers caught sleeping campers in and around the Albert Pike Recreation Area by surprise, leaving them little time to try to scramble in the darkness to higher ground and safety. The last person found alive was rescued late Friday morning. Arkansas State Police Capt. Mike Fletcher said there were about two dozen people still unaccounted for as of Saturday morning – a number far lower than some had feared. By one estimate, there were some 300 people in and around the campground when the floods swept
through, and a call center fielded inquiries about 73 people who hadn’t been accounted for as of Friday night. Fletcher said authorities had identified 16 of the 17 bodies found, but that they wouldn’t be identified publicly until their families had been notified. There were children among the dead. The search was expected to take several more days, or even weeks, and anguished family members of the missing who gathered at a church in nearby Lodi on Saturday could only wait helplessly. Some cried and embraced one another, and some held their head in their hands. “They’re just devastated. The time for shock has probably gone and now it’s just anxiety building. They’re beginning to fear the worst,� said Graig Cowart, the pastor of the Pilgrim Rest Landmark Missionary Baptist Church.

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) – The federal government has given BP until the end of the weekend to find ways to speed up efforts to contain huge amounts of oil gushing from a ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a letter released Saturday, as large globs of brown crude coated Alabama’s white sand beaches. Coast Guard Rear Adm. James A. Watson sent a letter to BP officials on Friday expressing frustration with the overall pace of the effort and ordered the company to identify ways to expedite the process in the coming says. “Recognizing the complexity of this challenge, every effort must be expended to speed up the process,� Watson wrote in the letter, sent to Doug Suttles, BP’s chief operating officer. BP has struggled with several efforts to contain the oil. The latest cap installed on the blown-out well is capturing about 650,000 gallons of oil a day, but large quantities are still spilling into the sea. Scientists have estimated that anywhere between about 40 million gallons to 109 million gal-
AP
Oily residue fouls the shore in Orange Beach, Ala., Saturday. lons of oil have gushed into the Gulf since a drilling rig exploded April 20, killing 11 workers and triggering the worst oil spill in U.S. history. The Coast Guard initially sent a letter to BP on Wednesday asking for more details on its plans to contain the oil. BP responded, saying a new system to trap oil spewing from the well should be complete by mid-July. That system’s new design is meant to better withstand the force of hurricanes and could capture about 2 million gallons of oil daily when fully built, the oil giant said.
Obama tells Britain no hard feelings over spill LONDON (AP) – President Barack Obama reassured Prime Minister David Cameron on Saturday that his frustration over the mammoth oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is not an attack on Britain as the two leaders tried to soothe trans-Atlantic tensions over the disaster. Cameron’s Downing St. office said the two leaders held a “warm and constructive� telephone conversation for more than 30 minutes. Obama has recently sharpened his criticism of BP PLC as the company struggles to stop millions of gallons of oil
gushing from its ruptured deep-sea well. Cameron is under pressure to get Cameron Obama to tone down the rhetoric against a major British company, fearing it will hurt millions of Britons – as well as many Americans – who hold BP stock in investments and pension plans. Cameron’s office said the prime minister “expressed his sadness at the ongoing human and environmental catastrophe.�

Obama and GOP bicker over doctors’ Medicare pay
AP
Marianne and Laurence Sunderland, parents of would-be solo round-the-world sailor Abby Sunderland, talk with reporters at their home in Thousand Oaks, Calif., Saturday morning.
Parents: Teenage sailor healthy after 3 days adrift THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) – Weary but healthy despite bumps and bruises, teen sailor Abby Sunderland was cheerful in a phone call home after being rescued Saturday from her crippled boat in the southern Indian Ocean, her parents said. “She sounded tired, a little bit small in her voice, but she was able to make jokes and she was looking forward to getting some sleep,� her mother, Marianne Sunderland, told reporters outside the family home in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
The 16-year-old had to abandon her sailboat, Wild Eyes, when a French fishing vessel rescued her more than 2,000 miles from the western Australia coast, two days after she lost communication with her family and sent out distress signals. She will spend more than a week traveling to Reunion Island, a French territory east of Madagascar. “Crazy is the word that really describes everything that has happened best,� Abby Sunderland wrote Saturday morning in a blog post from “a great big fish-
ing boat headed I am not exactly sure where.� “The long and the short of it is, well, one long wave, and one short mast,� she wrote. Sunderland had been stranded in heavy seas since Thursday, when she set off a distress signal after the mast collapsed. Laurence Sunderland said the family was not going to elaborate on the problems that led to the emergency, and Abby Sunderland didn’t provide details in her blog post. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said the French ship Ile
Elena Kagan had role in Clinton White House’s big fights WASHINGTON (AP) – For four years as a White House lawyer and aide, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan had a hand in many of the major issues that drove and vexed the Clinton administration. Nearly 90,000 pages of records from the Clinton White House, released at the request of senators who will vote on her nomination, show that Kagan played a role in crafting Clinton’s policies on abortion, gun control, welfare reform and tobacco. They also reveal that she was among the small army of lawyers who worked unsuccessfully to postpone Paula Jones’ sexual harassment lawsuit against President Bill Clinton. His testimony for the suit, denying a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, helped lead to his impeachment. Kagan must have impressed her superi-
ors because Clinton sought to reward her, at age 38, with a seat on the federal appeals court in Washington, often a steppingstone to the Supreme Court. When Kagan wrote Clinton to thank him for the Kagan nomination, the president sent back a handwritten response: “I was honored to nominate you – you will be a wonderful judge if we can get you through – and young enough to have a profound impact.� She didn’t get through, stalled by the Republican-controlled Senate until Clinton left office in January 2001. But now, at 50, Kagan still would be the youngest member of the current high court. The William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Ark., has not released about 11,000 pages of Kagan’s e-mails.
Style... Quality... Experience...
De La Reunion brought Sunderland on board from her stricken craft Saturday afternoon at the site (about 2:45 a.m. PDT). French authorities called it a “delicate operation,� and said at one point the fishing boat’s captain fell into the ocean and had to be rescued. Laurence Sunderland said the crew used its dinghy in the transfer. Australian authorities were broadcasting a message to boats crossing through the area warning them that Sunderland’s sailboat is still adrift.
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is asking Republican lawmakers to approve billions of dollars in new spending to avert a scheduled 21 percent McConnell cut in payments to doctors who treat Medicare patients. If GOP senators don’t allow the stalled proposal to pass, some doctors will stop treating Medicare recipients, Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday. The Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said his party wants to avoid reducing physicians’ fees, but do it without adding to the deficit – meaning spending cuts elsewhere. The president noted that since 2003, Congresses led by Democrats and by Republicans alike have blocked similar proposed cuts in doctors’ reimbursement rates. But now, he said, Republicans are “willing to walk away from the needs of our doctors and our seniors.�
State Department assessing damage from cables leak WASHINGTON (AP) – The State Department says it is studying the computer hard drives used by an Army intelligence analyst in Iraq, trying to assess the potential damage if allegations are true the analyst leaked tens of thousands of classified diplomatic documents to a whistleblower website.
Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Friday the Bureau of Diplomatic Security is assisting in the forensic analysis of the data stored on one or more hard drives from computers believed to have been used by Army Spc. Bradley Manning, 22, of Potomac, Md. Manning has not been charged with any crime.

THOMASVILLE – The crowd at Cushwa Stadium cheered Saturday as though it were another victory for the Bulldogs football team, but this time the achievement was academic instead of athletic. The 140 seniors in the 2010 class at Thomasville High School received their diplomas during a ceremony on a blazing hot, sunny morning. The red-robed seniors were seated in the center of the football field as parents and onlookers – many holding umbrellas to block the sun – watched with pride from the bleachers. Senior Class President Nyasha Ray told her fellow seniors they now could change their status on their Facebook pages to reflect the accomplishment of graduation. For many of the seniors, their next step will involve enrolling for college classes this fall. “If the path you’re choosing has no obstacles, it’s probably not getting you anywhere,” Ray said.

Yanepsi Alvardo leads one of the two groups of seniors onto the field at Cushwa Stadium in Thomasville Saturday morning. The seniors were split into two groups, with one group following Alvardo and another group entering the field from the other side of the stadium. Principal Deboy Beamon told the graduates he had known virtually all of them since sixth grade and cherished watching them mature. “I’m so proud of you,” Beamon said.
The 2010 graduating class earned $1.8 million in scholarships, Thomasville City Schools Superintendent Keith Tobin said prior to commencement. “They worked hard at
that,” Tobin said about the seniors’ efforts to secure a place in college. This is the first academic year at Thomasville High School in which all seniors applied to at least three col-
leges, Tobin said. The school system hopes to continue that practice with seniors in the future, the superintendent said.

British food critic Egon Ronay dies at 94 LONDON (AP) – Food critic Egon Ronay, whose eponymous restaurant guides helped Britain embrace fine dining after years of postwar austerity, died Saturday. He was 94. Family friend Nick Ross said Ronay died at his home near the village of Yattendon, 50 miles (80 kms) west of London, after a short illness. Born in Budapest in 1915, Ronay was the son of a prosperous restaurant-owner whose business was ruined by World War II and the subsequent Soviet occupation. Ronay left communist Hungary for Britain in 1946. He worked as a manager at London restaurants before opening his own establishment, The Marquee, which sought to bring French culinary flair to a country just emerging from years of food rationing. “You could eat well in London,� Ronay told The Observer newspaper in 2003 about the 1950s, “but in extremely few places.� He began writing about food for The Daily Telegraph newspaper, and in 1957 produced the first Egon Ronay Guide to British restaurants, modeled on France’s Michelin guides. The annual guides, researched with the help of a team of anonymous reviewers, became immensely popular, and restaurants displayed the blue Egon Ronay label as a seal of approval.
CNN co-founder dies at 73 NEW YORK (AP) – Robert J. Wussler, a CNN co-founder who became the youngest president of the CBS television network when he took over at age 39, has died. He was 73. Spokesman Arthur Sando says Wussler died June 5 at his home in Westport, Conn., after a long illness. Wussler started his 21-year career at CBS working in the mailroom. He eventually became executive producer of CBS News, where he oversaw special projects including man’s landing on the moon. In 1978, Wussler formed his own production company called Pyramid Enterprises. It created syndicated programming for the international marketplace, specializing in Japan, France and the former Soviet Union. In 1980, Ted Turner recruited Wussler to join Turner Broadcasting Systems and to help develop CNN. Wussler won seven Emmy awards.

to exit Chapter 11 protection after almost a year. Crescent says in its lawsuit that former CEO Art Fields failed to work the full vesting period for a $2.4 million advance he was given to help pay taxes after he took an interest in the company in 2006. The company says
Fields left voluntarily in 2009 and refused to repay the money. The newspaper said Fields couldn’t be reached for comment. Crescent Resources is a residential real estate joint venture between Duke Energy Corp. and Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund.

Nonprofit honors volunteer of the year V
irginia Epperson was a dedicated volunteer and was president of the Board of Trustees for Senior Resources of Guilford County. When she died in 1996, her husband Roy Epperson honored her by continuing her volunteerism legacy by sponsoring the Virginia A. Epperson Senior Volunteer of the Year Luncheon. Although his beloved wife was gone, Roy always attended the luncheon named for his wife to pay tribute to fellow volunteers. This year, his chair was empty and, this year, the annual luncheon was renamed the E. Roy & Virginia Epperson Senior Volunteer of the Year ABOUT Luncheon. TOWN Royâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death Mary in January Bogest has left an indelible mark on this community and has generated an outpouring of love from both his professional family at High Point University and his community family. So now, I want to tell you about those individuals who were honored at the E. Roy & Virginia Epperson Senior Volunteer of the Year Luncheon. Pennybryn at Maryfield has a wonderful venue to host this event and the food is always delicious. The mother-daughter team of Flute Duets & More provided the music for the event, which was coordinated by Tricia Mendenhall (great job Tricia)! Executive Director Ellen Whitlock provided the gracious welcome and Charles Saunders, president of the board of directors, introduced the nominees. What an honor to be nominated. These are volunteers who give of their time selflessly, asking nothing in return. I applaud each of them. Previous winners, in addition to Roy Epperson, have included Irma Price (Edâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother), Jackie Lockhart, Bill McGuinn, Jim Eddins, Donna Turner and Jim Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother Dot, who passed away recently. Former recipients Kathleen Killebrew, Evelyn Andrews, Don Barrett and Richard Nixon now sit on the High Point Advisory Council along with Leslie â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

a note about Kelly. As his parishioners already know, he will soon be leaving IHM for a new assignment to another parish. IHM will dearly miss him. Kelly noted that family is a very important part of Peaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and that is precisely the reason that when â&#x20AC;&#x153;the envelope pleaseâ&#x20AC;? was delivered and her name was announced that Peace was unable to be present to accept the award. She was at her grandsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side at the hospital. Kelly accepted the award in her lieu. Each of these volunteers need to be congratulated! So Kudos to Leo Brown, Beefy and Ruby Wright, Beverly Morrow and Senior Volunteer of the Year Diane Peace. MARY BOGEST is an artist and writer who resides in High Point | MSBogest@aol.com.

Pope begs forgiveness, promises action on abuse VATICAN CITY (AP) – Addressing the clerical abuse scandal from the heart of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI begged forgiveness Friday from victims and promised at a Mass to “do everything possible” to protect children. While symbolic, Benedict’s pledge failed to satisfy victims groups who said promises were useless without a clear-cut action plan to root out pedophile priests, expose the bishops who protected them and change the Vatican policies and culture that allowed abuse to continue. His comments came during a Mass celebrated by 15,000 priests at St. Peter’s Square marking the Vatican’s Year of the Priest – a year marred by revelations of hundreds of new cases of clerical abuse in Europe, Latin America and elsewhere, as well as cover-ups by bishops and evidence of long-standing Vatican inaction. It was the first time Benedict had spoken of the crisis from St. Peter’s Basilica, the center of the church. Benedict implied the devil was behind the timing of the scandal, saying the Year of the Priest was supposed to have been a year in celebration of the priesthood and encour-
AP
Pope Benedict XVI blesses the faithful as he arrives in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican to celebrate the end of the Church’s year of the priest Thursday. Thousands of priests from around the world have massed in Rome in one of the largest such gatherings ever in a major show of support for Pope Benedict XVI amid the clerical abuse scandal. agement for new vocations. “It was to be expected that this new radiance of the priesthood would not be pleasing to the ‘enemy’ ”; he would have rather preferred to see it disappear, so that God would ultimately be driven from the world,” Benedict said in his homily,
to applause from the gathered priests. “And so it happened that in this very year of joy for the sacrament of the priesthood, the sins of priests came to light – particularly the abuse of little ones,” he said. “We, too, insistently beg forgiveness from God
and from the persons involved, while promising to do everything possible to ensure that such abuse will never occur again,” he said. Benedict’s comments were similar to those reported by the Vatican during his private meeting with abuse victims
in Malta in April, during which the pontiff had tears in his eyes as he heard the stories of men molested by priests as children. The pope also made similar statements last month en route to Portugal, in which he acknowledged that the “sins from within
the church” were responsible for the scandal, not the media or some outside anti-Catholic lobby. The pope also begged forgiveness from victims in his March letter to the Irish faithful. However, Friday’s homily seemed to wrap up those points in a single message – directed at priests who came to Rome from around the world to support the pontiff and the priesthood itself amid the scandal. Vatican officials and the priests themselves said they had never seen such a large gathering of clergymen, who all donned white vestments to concelebrate the Mass from their seats in the piazza and renew their ordination vows. Some sported sun hats and others draped their national flags over their shoulders, giving a bit of unusual color to the Vatican’s normally formal Masses. In his homily, the pope pledged that in admitting men into the priesthood and forming them as clergymen “we will do everything we can to weigh the authenticity of their vocation and make every effort to accompany priests along their journey, so that the Lord will protect them and watch over them in troubled situations and amid life’s dangers.”

Pay teachers more before buying laptops I just read the article in June 7 edition of The High Point Enterprise, Students to get laptops thanks to grant,where Thomasville City Schools will be using the IMPACT technology grant to purchase 700 laptops for students for the 2010-2011 school year. Why does the state of North Carolina claim they have to eliminate teaching positions and other school related jobs, yet find the financial resources to buy 700 laptops for children in one school? According to www.ehow.com (http://www.ehow.com/about_ 6513554_average-teacher_s-salarynorth-carolina.html), the average teacher’s salary in North Carolina is just under $38,000 per year. This grant could have been used to save close to 40 full-time teaching positions. Instead, the grant is used to provide students with a digital tool that may or may not enhance/improve their educational path. It would be informative to see the results of a published study proving high school students receive a better education if they have a personal laptop during their high school years. To me, this is just another example of how our government

I wish gremlins, as type lice have Competition done, would disappear builds for city offices
A
few years ago, High Point decided to change municipal elections from odd years to even years in an attempt to get more eligible voters to the polls in conjunction with county, state and federal elections. The North Carolina General Assembly approved the shift in 2006 and for the first election on the new schedule in 2008 (a presidential election year), nearly 32,000 High Pointers voted, almost six times as many as voted in the 2005 municipal election. It’s difficult to predict, a little more than five months prior to the Nov. 2 general election, what the local turnout will be but it is expected many more than the 5,599 who voted in 2005 will turn out. The beginning of the filing period for High Point municipal elections is July 2 (running through the 16th) – more than five weeks away, and already competition is shaping up for Ward 1, where incumbent Bernita Sims is expected to seek re-election; in Ward 5, where incumbent Chris Whitley has announced he will seek another term; and in Ward 6, with John Faircloth leaving City Council to take the 61st state House of Representatives seat in January. It’s also likely that there will be more than one contender for the Ward 4 seat that will be vacant when Bill Bencini takes the District 2 seat on Guilford County Board of Commissioners at year’s end. With all eight City Council seats and the mayor’s post up for grabs, it is encouraging to see folks stepping forward. Our hope is that the race for each of the nine positions will be contested. We need that level of interest in the future of our city.

I
believe I forgot to mention one of the quirks of the newspaper business to The High Point Enterprise Readership Committee during its year of service that wound up last month. It’s the story about the gremlin, something much more enigmatic to newspaper folks than type lice. There’s a century-or more-old newspaper theory that, once an ink-stained gremlin gets into the process, it takes days to get it out. Things started to go down hill Friday (June 4) evening when information from Guilford County Schools about the graduating class at T. Wingate Andrews High School had failed to arrive not only by deadline (five days before graduation) but by the “drop-dead” 5 p.m. Friday deadline – for getting it in the Sunday (June 6) edition. Not to worry, some in the Enterprise newsroom thought. We’ll cover the Andrews graduation Saturday (June 5) for Sunday’s edition, then process the graduation list and publish it as soon as we can. It was published Tuesday. One doesn’t realize how quickly and deeply the gremlin worms his way into the middle of things. When it came time for the reporter scheduled to cover the Andrews graduation to drive from home to the Greensboro Coliseum complex, the car wouldn’t start. The reporter called a bunch of phone numbers, leaving voice-mail messages, and even sent e-mails to a couple of editors but wasn’t able to connect. So, both the reporter and Enterprise reluctantly missed the assignment. On Sunday, the gremlin still was at work, this time exercising antitechnology skills. When the desk crews that put out the paper on Sunday night arrived, the computer system still was going through its weekly back-up, which is supposed to be completed at least four hours before the nightsiders arrive. As Chris McGaughey, night city editor, explained, “Fortunately, the backup ended at 7:45 p.m., which put us way behind with only three pages done in advance.” He then, in his note to me, skipped the detail to tell me the last page (2B) was sent to press (in Durham) at 11:01 and was approved by 11:05 – five minutes after deadline. Mark McKinney, sports editor – working his last night prior to vacation – provided some detail, praising Chris “for his excellent jerryrigging skills and to Andy (English) and Molly (Norman) for keeping cool under fire as we had no basic computer capability for five hours (of an eight-hour shift).” McKinney also told me of “crashing” 34 times on the scoreboard page and eight or nine times to get the work done on 4D. He ended his note with, “I hope we don’t have to do anything like that again anytime soon!” We almost did. Monday was fairly uneventful. We thought the gremlin was gone, but discovered around 9 a.m. Tuesday, the e-mail was down, the server for the newsroom computer had kicked off and, with no technology, the newsroom couldn’t do much until our tech, Grayson Shuler, got almost everything running again just before noon. About that time, I was preparing to introduce one of our summer interns to Publisher Mike Starn, who was just finishing a phone conversation. As

we waited, I pointed to an illustration hanging on Starn’s office wall portraying tools the printers used to build pages and get the paper to press in “hot metal” days. “Those are tools we used when I started in the business,” I told the intern, whose facial expression indicated she thought I was joking. I wasn’t. OPINION Still the gremlin wasn’t done. It took us a while to discover it but, Tom when the server kicked in, inforBlount mation coming into the system ■■■ from the satellite was cut off. It was restored by 5 p.m. and most everything was back to normal. When newspapers shifted from hot type (molten lead cast into letters and lines of type) to “cold type” (photocomposition) some 40 years ago, one of the things that went to the scrap heap was what Jay Thorwaldson, a reporter for the Palo Alto Times who also wrote for the Times’ internal newsletter, the Hellbox, called “the type lice hunt.” Thorwaldson wrote that a “printer would tell a visitor that he was having trouble with type lice – those little varmints that infest galleys of type that have been sitting around awhile (sort of like termites in the lead). When the visitor said he/she couldn’t see any lice, the printer would pour some ink-solvent onto the type, saying, ‘This makes them come out for air.’ As the visitor leaned over and peered between the separated lines of type, the printer would snap them closed, splashing solvent into the visitor’s face. Beginning reporters were favorite victims.” We’ll try to find similar stories for the 20102011 Readership Committee class.

Employ rewards, punishments Plug the N damned hole! Let’s see now, “cut & cap,” “shear,” “top hat,” “top kill” and “junk shot.” Say, this is starting to sound like a pretty good campaign plan for Obama’s 2012 re-election bid. But, as a means for stopping a million gallons of crude oil from flowing into the Gulf of Mexico each day, none of these procedures have had much success. Not to worry though because, as any good propagandist knows, you never waste a good national disaster. It’s a matter of timing, really. When operation top kill looked like it was succeeding, O strolled across the Gulf water and commanded “plug the damned hole.” When that fizzled, he went back to the old standard “George Bush done it.” And as they say, OPINION that’s a plan! If fact, I beSteve lieve that parBryant ticular plan ■■■ is known as a No, 6. First you come riding in with a laptop and Google Oil/Bush/Cheney.

Next, you discredit the governor of Louisiana, who is trying to prepare a proper manger for the approaching tar baby, and let the Army Corps (or is that corpse?) of Engineers block his efforts to build sand barriers off his state’s coast. Then, you bring in sci-fi movie directors like James Cameron to provide a solution and sip champagne while you wait for the 3-D glasses to arrive in N’orleans. Then, its back to the Louisiana coast for another photo-op. I guess we can all be thankful that Louis Farrakhan doesn’t have a vacation home there so the Secret Service won’t have to be concerned about being attacked by his goons. Finally, we wrap it all up that evening with the No. 6 dance. We get foreigners like Mexican President Calderon to DJ the gig, while he spins tunes like “You Racist Honkys Across the Rio Grande”, and headliner Paul McCartney to take cheap shots at George Bush, while they both enjoy the fruits of our evil empire. This should pacify all of those folks down ‘souf who are moaning about the environment and wondering how they are going to make a living. We don’t need to plug no stinking damned hole!

orth Carolina’s current situation is discouraging. We have current and projected budget deficits unseen since The Great Depression. It is difficult to find an agency or program of government we can describe as excellent or outstanding. Polls affirm that we don’t believe government, at most any level, is working well. Perhaps we need to step away to gain a better perspective. Let’s examine three big picture rewards and punishments that might help make government more effective. Our elected officials clearly are more interested in legislating than in governing. There is more than a semantic difference between these two words. One definition of the word govern is “to exercise a deciding or determining influence …” During these troubled times, our governor, our legislature and all local officials need to change their focus to actively governing, truly involving themselves in what and how well government is performing. We are not
suggesting they insert themselves in day-to-day decisions but that they set very clear goals and demand excellence in outMY SPIN comes. If agencies, programs Tom or employees are Campbell not meeting these ■■■ goals, elected officials must ensure these outcomes are achieved by elimination, reform or replacement of employees. If elected officials knew with certainty that it was the voters, not special interests, who were their bosses, if they were really elected according to what they accomplished or how well they managed government most would change or be turned out of office. Elected officials don’t truly understand these rewards and punishments because we routinely elect them year after year without much regard to performance. Too frequently government is populated with idealists, those
looking job safety and security or by people with a goal of gaining experience that can be leveraged into a more lucrative private sector position in a few years. North Carolina doesn’t demand employee excellence with the kinds of incentives or punishments found in the private sector to attract the best and brightest. Those bright souls who do take government jobs quickly run into the wall of bureaucracy, excessive regulations and a general “go along to get along” attitude. Most capable and dedicated public employees will tell you how they could perform better, but too few in authority either ask or attempt to make needed changes. Citizens like to moan that government doesn’t work, but we are more the problem than either our elected officials or public employees. Our voting record demonstrates we don’t learn the issues or take time to know who is and who isn’t getting the job done. The government we get is the government we demand.
Perhaps we just don’t have sufficient rewards or punishments for doing our jobs, although our ultimate punishment is clearly predicaments like we currently face. But taking a page from our willingness to give incentives to corporations who bring jobs to our state, what would happen if we paid every registered voter fifty dollars as an incentive to vote? Or maybe each person who voted would be given a number and we would hold a drawing for a cash prize, or a cushy government job or even an elected position. Or is it a sufficient reward to have a government that works, with elected officials who do great jobs and public employees who excel? Would you rather whine or vote?

Some good rhetoric Charade continues to undermine Obama’s credibility as a leader
I
’ve had the good fortune of knowing, interviewing and interacting with scores of politicians through the years. No matter where one fell along the ideological spectrum, I was most impressed with those whose views could be summed up in one word – consistent. Like what you will about someone such as former Sen. George Allen, for example. He was a firebrand; a dyed-in-the-wool Republican. But he knew exactly what he believed in – a Jeffersonian Conservative as he liked to call himself. And no matter OPINION the position he took, even if you Armstrong disliked it, you Williams couldn’t help but like the man because he was consistent in his views. There was no waffling there, and his colleagues appreciated that character trait. Contrast that with our dear president today. Here’s an individual who spent nearly his entire campaign and certainly the first months of his presidency railing against the

“special interests” that have corrupted this town. Whenever his agenda was heading south, Obama would take to the airwaves, and in typical Leftist fashion, would play the victim card, usually aiming his sights on “special interest groups” hell-bent on preserving the status quo in Washington. That’s some good rhetoric, no? Consistent? Hardly. The resident traveled to Wheaton, Md., to hold a satellite town hall on his unpopular health reform law. Apparently, internal White House polls show that
Administration no longer sees devil in detail. while most Americans hate this piece of legislation, they’re willing to keep an open mind and see how the new measure will impact their daily lives. The administration will spend countless hours and millions of taxpayer dollars marketing this stinker to average Americans, hoping to change their minds.
Yet one dirty little secret the administration won’t hype is that it’s now asking dozens of health groups and associations to roll up their sleeves and pitch in. That’s right, those same “special interests” Obama excoriated along the health reform trail he’s now cozying up to and hoping they’ll pull their weight. I ask you, Mr. President, what do you think of them now? Are they only the devil when you say they are? Where’s the consistency in that? The problem with this little charade is it continues to undermine Obama’s credibility as a leader on domestic policy issues. What are everyday Americans to think of these health care providers when one day, they are akin to the Taliban, and the next day, they’re champions for the “little guy” for no other reason than our president chooses to say so. Playing politics with these job creators and service providers is hardly a profile in executive leadership.

I do not know Wright but I would like to venture an answer to that question. I, too, grew up on the South Side of Chicago, albeit earlier than Wright. Like many another avid citizen of the Windy City, I never oculd satisfy my curiosity about it and the people who live there. I read every word of the Tribune each day, including the articles hidden on the back pages and, then, when Fields’ boy started his own paper, every word of the Sun, I was cursed with what the argot of the 1930s and ’40s called an active imagination or what we now call empathy. It may be that Wright had seen, once too often, some jarring example of the misery that often overwhelmed the South Side. Perhaps he witnessed lives wasted from lack of someone to care: people denied the chance to work; people denied an education; children put out to prostitution. Perhaps he saw

good, decent God-fearing people denied access to restaurants, movie theaters, department stores. Perhaps he saw police brutality. Perhaps he stood with a young couple who had taken their dying child to the wrong hospital trying to comfort them as the baby died. Perhaps he felt the injustice of the Chicago block busters who, cheating black and white equally, laid waste to the city. I could add a hundred examples of what he might have faced each day of his life. What if he worried about others? He might have tried to help an Indian from one of the northern Wisconsin reservations who had tried to cage $1.25 to buy another pint to get him through the day. He might have counseled a young man from the rolling hills of Kentucky who couldn’t understand the demands an impersonal city and found his solace in the bars. I only know that the most servile of diplomats finally breaks down and walks away from the table, the treaty unsigned. I only know that the most callow
Luther, pulled to the church door, the hammer thrust into his hand, finally presents his arguments. I only know that the most politic of Jobs sometimes finds the guts to cry out. It is not easy to be honest in a world that pays heavily for lies. What is important is for us to be honest in what we tell ourselves and then to devote our lives to the small changes each of us can bring about. I have seen the sorrows and the joys of our country, I have wit-
nessed the poor governmental decisions and the moments of selfless political bravery. And I am left to quote the poet and remind us all that “we have miles to go before we sleep.” They do not tell us but I can imagine that Wright dusted off his dreams and shared them with his congregation the Sundays that followed his outburst and continued, as we all must, to pace off the miles of his life.

Colonel’s wife told to stay away from NC Army unit FORT BRAGG (AP) — Fort Bragg’s commander has barred the wife of an 82nd Airborne Division combat officer from most involvement on the home front after a report said she’s been undercutting morale. The decision by Lt. Gen. Frank

Ex-aide admits errors but feels betrayed RALEIGH (AP) – A former staffer to U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell who’s now mulling a chance to challenge him in November said Friday he feels betrayed after the congressman filed an ethics complaint against him but acknowledged making some mistakes on the job. Wendell Fant, who until last month was Kissell’s deputy district director, said in an interview he did use his U.S. House email account to check on his own Veterans Affairs matter and get information about a mortgage loan modification. Kissell cited e-mails and other documents in writing Wednesday to the House ethics
committee alleging Fant broke House rules. Fant, a Marine Corps reservist scheduled to retire in August, said he didn’t seek or expect any special advantage as Kissell’s staff member over treatment for an illness while he was in the military. He said the loan modification with Wells Fargo had already been completed when he contacted the company. “I did err in using the House e-mail,” Fant said, but “I certainly wasn’t trying to get any gain from anything.” Fant is the focus of a union-led movement trying to get him on the ballot as an independent candidate to challenge Kissell, a
Population growth in Forsyth slows MCCLATCHY-TRIIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
WINSTON-SALEM – Once again, Hispanics were the fastest-growing ethnic group in Forsyth County last year, according to new estimates released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau. Forsyth County’s Hispanic population grew to 39,363 – a 5.8 percent increase from 2008. Asians were the second-fastest growing group, increasing by about 4.5 percent, to 5,620. The Census Bureau estimated that about 220,000 people – about 61 percent – who live in the county are white, a 0.5 percent increase. That population group grew by the highest number of people – about 1,000. The bureau estimated that about 89,800 county residents are black, and it said that about 5,000 identify themselves as “other” and “multiracial.” Countywide, the population grew by about 4,500 people – about 1.3 percent – from July 1, 2008, to July 1, 2009, the census numbers show. Forsyth did not grow as fast as the rest
of the state. North Carolina’s population grew about 1.6 percent, adding almost 134,000 people over the same period. The census estimated that 359,638 people live in Forsyth County, making it the fourth-largest county in the state, behind Mecklenburg, Wake and Guilford counties. But the growth slowed for the second year in a row. From 2007 to 2008, the county grew by about 1.6 percent. From 2006 to 2007, it grew by about 2 percent. Guilford County’s population growth likewise slowed down, from nearly 2 percent in 2008 to 1.3 percent in 2009. Gayle Anderson, the chief executive and president of the Greater Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce, said she believes that the lagging economy and slow home sales had people unwilling – or unable – to move. “Chances are, even if you can find a job somewhere, you can’t sell your house,” Anderson said. She said she thinks that the slowing population growth is too small a change to be significant.

Slowing to a crawl Duke survey projects stagnant employment through 2010 MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
DURHAM — Employment nationwide is projected to remain stagnant for 2010, according to Duke University’s most recent survey of chief financial officers worldwide, mostly because of difficulties small to medium-sized businesses have in obtaining financing. Instability in the global financial markets and foreclosures in the U.S. have led to a risky environment for consumers and companies alike. “The mood is very negative right now,” said Campbell Harvey, a professor of finance at The Fuqua School of Business
and founding director of the survey. In Duke’s survey of 1,102 CFOs during the second quarter, American CFOs said they have limited plans to hire during the next 12 months, with nearly 60 percent saying they don’t expect staffing at their companies to return to pre-recession levels until 2012 or later. Among companies that cut positions in the past several years, fewer than half said that during the next year they will restore bonuses, overtime, employee training and development, retirement benefits or health benefits to pre-recession levels. About half will restore wages and weekly work hours.
“U.S. companies plan very little domestic hiring over the next year,” said John Graham, professor of finance at Fuqua and director of the survey. “However, the rate of improvement is slow and should put only a small dent in the unemployment rate by year-end.” Full-time domestic employment in the U.S. will increase by 0.7 percent and temporary hiring is expected to drop by 0.2 percent. The overall expected employment growth is barely enough to keep pace with population growth, according to Harvey. At the root of the slow employment growth: unavailable credit, particularly for small- to mediumsized businesses. One-third of small businesses reported in the second quarter that borrowing conditions are worse now than in 2009, according
to Harvey. Among small businesses, 44 percent restricted capital spending below desired levels because of borrowing difficulties, Harvey said. Borrowing conditions remain tight, with about half of the firms reporting that credit conditions have tightened and half saying credit has eased. One third of small businesses, or those with 100 or fewer employees, say credit conditions have worsened in the past six months. Banks remain conservative and are reluctant to lend because of continued foreclosures and the specter of future defaults, Harvey said. Meanwhile, increases in public programs to help small businesses have not been enough to generate the capital projects investments that are needed for long-term growth.

“These capital projects create jobs both today and over the longer term,” Harvey said. “The continued credit problem makes it inevitable that we will see very high levels of unemployment not just in 2010, but well beyond.” However, CFOs are expecting earnings to increase by 12 percent. Capital spending is expected to grow by 9 percent and research and development and technology spending by 4 to 6 percent. Not surprisingly, the CFOs cite low employee morale as among their top concerns about their own companies. Economywide concerns include weak consumer demand, federal government policies, price pressure and global financial instability, eyeing financial problems in Europe and competition from Asia.

Business navigates family waters BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The legacy of Tom Slane’s family may have indicated to others that he would end up working in the boat business, but the future of his career wasn’t exactly clear as water while growing up. Now known for refurbishing yachts, his father, Willis Slane Jr., was the famous founder of Hatteras Yachts in High Point in 1960. Slane said he grew up with a fascination for boats because of his father’s company. But when he was 10 years old, his father died of a sudden heart attack, leaving the business to be handled by others. “I was always around it, but I never really grew up with the business (because of his father’s death),” he said. The company proved to have a successful run and operated in High Point for more than 30 years. It opened a second manufacturing facility in 1967 in New Bern, and it closed the original facility and relocated all operations to the waterfront site in 1997. The company remains there under a different ownership. While growing up, Slane said he never pictured himself working in the boating business. He graduated from High Point University (then High Point College) with a business degree. He possessed the entrepreneurial spirit of his father, but he still

A major purchase that he made after college and a trip to the beach sent him sailing in that direction, however. Out of appreciation for his father’s company, Slane bought a used Hatteras Yacht after he graduated. He decided to try his hand at refurbishing the boat, though he had never taken on such a challenge before. His talent for restoring used yachts was validated when, at a fishing tournament in Wrightsville Beach, a man with the same Hatteras Yacht asked him to restore his boat. “It was kind of just supposed to be a side thing,” he said. “But a magazine did a story about me and how the son of the founder was restoring Hatteras Yachts. Then I started getting calls like crazy.” Soon, Slane had his own boat business. The

company started in a building off Wallburg Road in 1984 and has since relocated to 626 McWay Drive. Several facets have been added to the business over the years. As economic conditions have worsened in recent years, the number of buyers looking for yachts, which can run anywhere between $60,000 and $500,000, has decreased. Boat owners also have
flooded the market with used boats. To combat the situation, Slane said the company has seen an increase in its yacht brokerage services, which assists buyers in finding the type of boat they’re looking for in the appropriate price range, as well as handling the paperwork and closing transactions. Due to major storms and tornadoes in the last five years, Slane also has seen more busi-

ness in the major-damage restoration area. The variety of customers he sees may come as a surprise to some, he said. While a common conception is that yachts are for the upper class, Slane said he’s sold boats to just about everyone – from an average Joe who’s saved up his entire life to buy a yacht to a vice president of Home Depot. Thanks to his customers’ love for boating, his own blood and sweat, and the legacy of his father, Slane said the boating business is sailing securely now. And whether or not he plans to follow his father’s footsteps and create a boat of his own, well, that’s a plan that may or may not be anchored in the future. “This business is just really something I’ve come to enjoy,” he said. “I can’t see myself putting in the hours for anything else but this.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) – Google’s home page has gone back to basics after users griped about a promotional stunt that wrapped colorful photos around the Internet’s most popular search engine. The complaints poured in Thursday when Google. com visitors were greeted with fullscreen photos of sand dunes, flowers and other artistry instead of the website’s familiar white background. The imagery was meant to draw attention to a new tool that Google introduced two weeks ago to allow people to customize the page with their own photos. The decorations have worked well for Microsoft, whose Bing search engine features a new photo each day. But Google’s one-day gimmick upset a lot of people who thought the change might be permanent, prompting a switch back the site’s Spartan look.

In this video game image released by THQ Inc., Darius Mason is shown in a scene from the game, “Red Faction Armageddon.”
Video games seek to connect the digital dots said Danny Bilson, core games vice president at THQ. “The secret is to connect everything and release it in a way that makes sense. Every single piece should lead people to other pieces, so that the user can get as much or as little of the story as they choose.” In April, the Producers Guild of America, which represents over 3,500 members, added a transmedia producer designation to their list of credits for the first time in the guild’s history. The move means producers who expand a storyline onto three or more platforms, such as film, TV, animation or mobile, could receive PGA credit for their work. George Lucas set the transmedia storytelling benchmark with “Star Wars,” creating an expansive universe in a galaxy far, far away that has been used as the backdrop for numerous novels, games, trading cards, comic books, cartoon series
and – oh, yeah – movies. Forbes magazine estimated in 2007 that the franchise is a Death Star worth more than $22 billion. Ultimately, transmedia storytelling is as much of a business opportunity as it is an artistic decision, especially if producers work together to streamline the production process. The dollars can quickly add up if consumers are willing to spend any combination of $10 at the movie theater, $15 for a soundtrack, $25 on a graphic novel or $60 for a video game. To mine the “Red Faction” world for such an expansion, THQ enlisted transmedia gurus Starlight Runner Entertainment to create what is essentially a sprawling encyclopedia of anything that ever appeared in the series’ previous games. Until that point, “Red Faction” – an “openworld” concept where players are free to roam a virtual environment
– had simply been a disjointed but respected series about sociopolitical conflicts involving Mars. THQ will use the almanac to transform “Red Faction” into a generational sci-fi saga. The movie will be set after the events of the 2009 game “Red Faction: Guerrilla” and focus on the adult offspring of the game’s mining colony inhabitants, while “Red Faction: Armageddon” will take place decades later and feature a grown-up villain first seen in the movie. “Our job is to maximize the potential of the property as it stands,” said Jeff Gomez, CEO at Starlight Runner Entertainment. “We’re not here to change ‘Red Faction’ in any kind of dramatic way. We’re here to make it work solidly across different media platforms by developing a resource for everyone involved to be able to tap into the mythology.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) – When THQ releases its “Red Faction: Armageddon” video game next year, the Martian shoot-’em-up won’t arrive alone. The fourth installment of the destructive sci-fi series will be accompanied by a comic book, downloadable arcadestyle game and a Syfy television movie that could possibly serve as the pilot for a “Red Faction” TV series. The red planet smorgasbord will be the publisher’s first major foray into transmedia storytelling, the increasingly popular method of scattering a narrative across multiple platforms. Instead of repeating one yarn, transmedia storytelling uses the strengths of different mediums to tell unique parts of a story typically set within the same fictional realm. “Many people have been theorizing about this for a long time, but the trick is executing it,”

Getting help from an overworked co-worker BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES
Overextended co-workers might present a roadblock if you need help on a project. How can you persuade them to help? Is the method the same if you don’t know people well? Psychologist Beatrice Harris, founder and a managing director of Harris, Rothenberg International Inc., in New York City, says that when she coaches executives and HR professionals, she hears about people asking for help. She points out that it’s impossible for companies to make foolproof staffing plans to accommodate “all of the bursts requiring greater output. There are times when one group will have overwhelming demands and others may have a constant rate of (unrelated) work.” Companies with seasonal demands don’t want to over-hire.
SHARED HISTORY
SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES
You might think that asking a co-worker directly is the only possible method. In that case, “dig your well before you’re thirsty,” advises Janet Civitelli, vocational psychologist at VocationVillage.com in Sugar Land, Tex. “This means build relationships before you need them, not just in times of overwork and crisis.” Time your request well, Harris says, when you receive the assignment rather than when you’re facing an emergency. When you approach the person,
Beatrice Harris brings perspective on obtaining help from a co-worker, whether you have shared history or not. She is founder and a managing director of New York City’s Harris, Rothenberg International Inc. you might have to let him know about your heavy workload, because others often don’t know, according to Robert (“Robby”) Slaughter, president of Slaughter Development L.L.C., in Indianapolis, Ind. “If they’re not overworked,” he explains, “they want you not to be either so that everyone is contributing fairly.” After your co-worker agrees, Harris advises, “don’t feel alone in doing this. Ask who is above
him and bring in the person to alter priorities, because what you’re doing is part of a greater strategy.”
COLD TURKEY Harris mentions that because many long-term relationships have been wiped out by the recession, it might be difficult to find a co-worker with whom you share a work history. This situation intensifies anxiety
about productivity and potential job loss, which means that co-workers might be less likely to help you out. Try a different approach – “making them ‘want’ to help you!” – exclaims Robert Rail. Through the United Nations Police Task Force, he trained police in 60 countries in interviewing and interrogation techniques, among others. Rail is author of several books, including “Sur-
viving the International War Zone: Security Lessons Learned and Stories From Police and Military Peace-keeping Forces” (CRC Press, forthcoming, October). Bring to the table a collaborative spirit, Rail advises. Be ready to “give something of yourself. Get food on the table – coffee, tea, doughnuts. If you don’t have something on it, you’re not going to come to an agreement with anyone. Coffee and a doughnut or piece of pie in my office nurtures conversation and cooperation.” Next, disclose something personal about yourself, such as the day you’re having or the deer you hit, that will help you bond. “You have to lead,” Rail observes. “You can’t just ask, ask, ask.” Find a way to compliment your co-worker once or twice. “Then ask his opinion or what he’d suggest and say, ‘I need a little help,’ ” he continues. Your co-worker might agree or might simply say, “I can’t.” Don’t give up. Rail recommends telling the person that he’s already helped, and, a day or two later, letting him know that you worked on his suggestion or idea, with good results. Use e-mail, the telephone or a voice message. One day the person will answer your call. If everyone around you is overworked, don’t be afraid to ask for help, whether you know your co-workers well or not. DR. MILDRED L. CULP, Workwise Features, is an award-winning journalist.

FootJoy event serves as treat for golf fans M
ark Brazil – his last name rhymes with “frazzle” – often gets that way during his busy summer months. Running the show for a PGA Tournament, after all, is a daunting task, and the months SPORTS leading up to August’s Steve Wyndham Hanf Champion■■■ ship are bursting with activities. Perhaps that’s why Brazil looks forward to the ninth annual FootJoy Invitational so much. The American Junior Golf Association’s tournament kicks off with Monday’s practice rounds and Junior-Am fundraising tournament at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, with play running Tuesday through Friday for 99 of the best young golfers in the world. “I don’t get to enjoy the golf at the Wyndham Championship like I wish I could. There’s just always fires to put out, people to take care of, situations to handle,” Brazil said. “The FootJoy I do get to enjoy because I’m not having to operationally run the event. I get to watch this idea we kind of came up with, putting a major boys championship together starting back in 2002, and watch how it comes together. “It’s a lot of fun to watch all the top college golf coaches that are there, all these kids that are playing so hard,” Brazil added. “The kids are so well-behaved, they’re so mature for kids who are 13 to 18, and they really appreciate what we do for them.” The tournament, which is free and open to the public, will showcase a number of players destined for stardom on the PGA Tour. Eleven of the top-20 players in the AJGA Polo rankings will compete, although the chance to see No. 1 Jordan Spieth went out the window Friday. The rising senior from Dallas, who made a splash this spring when he was in contention at the Byron Nelson Championship before landing 18th, missed the cut by a stroke at this week’s St. Jude’s Classic and injured his back in the process. Spieth owned the thirdround lead at last year’s FootJoy before finishing fourth. Rising senior Justin Thomas, of Goshen, Ky., fired a 3-under-par 67 in the final round for an 8-under total to win. His reward? A spot in the Wyndham Championship, where he shot a 5-under 65 in the first round to become the third-youngest player in
PGA Tour history to make a cut. This year’s winner also gets a return trip to Sedgefield for the Wyndham. “It is a pretty neat thing to have it tied in so tight with the Wyndham Championship,” Brazil said. “Our staff helps run it, makes sure it’s well-funded, then the AJGA comes in and does a great job of running it. It’s fairly aggressive on our part. We do whatever we can to bring in the very best field for the FootJoy. Most people understand it’s one of the two or three top championships based on the strength of field in the world of junior golf.” FootJoy has been so pleased with the tournament’s success that it recently renewed its sponsorship deal for two more years. And Andrew Parr, the AJGA Senior Tournament Director, certainly loves what he’s seen in his first trip to Greensboro to run this event. “A lot of courses in the Southeast have really struggled after the cold, wet winter,” said Parr, in his fourth year with the AJGA. “Based in Georgia, we see that a lot. Keith (Wood, the course superintendant) has got it in really great shape out there. The greens are rolling really nicely.” All that’s left to see is which of the 99 players in the field gets on a roll for the first three rounds, after which the field is cut to the top 60. Davis Womble, the Wesleyan Christian Academy rising junior, adds a local flavor after stepping in for a player who withdrew. Womble avoided Saturday’s 11-man qualifier – for two spots – for North Carolina standouts by virtue of being ranked No. 4 in the state in the latest Carolina Golf Association junior rankings. Another of the state’s best in this field, Raleigh’s Grayson Murray, made the cut at the Nationwide Tour’s Rex Hospital Open last month. He’s committed to play at Wake Forest, one of five ACC-bound golfers who will play. Three golfers have been named first-team All-Americans this year: Spieth, Emiliano Grillo from Bradenton, Fla., and Jeffrey Kang of Fullerton, Calif. “It’s a unique opportunity,” offered Parr, “where you can see a player that you may be watching on TV in the next 10 years – or even sooner. Rickie Fowler was playing our events three summers ago. Three years later he’s having such a great rookie year on the PGA Tour. It’s neat, a low-key environment to watch these players in.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Supporters, waving United States flags, cheer during the World Cup group C soccer match between England and the United States at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg on Saturday. The match ended 1-1.
Blunder gives U.S. tie RUSTENBURG, South Africa (AP) — The record will show it was a tie, but it was hardly that. One found renewed confidence; the other will feel the heat. The United States and England played to a 1-1 draw Saturday night in their World Cup opener, with the Americans rallying when Clint Dempsey scored on a blunder by goalkeeper Robert Green and U.S. goalie Tim Howard withstood a secondhalf barrage by Wayne Rooney and his celebrated teammates. Steven Gerrard put England ahead in the fourth minute, blowing past Ricardo Clark to beat Howard from short
range. But Dempsey tied it when Green fumbled his 25-yard shot that skipped off the ground twice. “I’m glad it’s over, there was a lot of hype and pressure,” Howard said. “I’m glad we put in a performance we can be proud of. But we can’t make too, too much of it.” Jozy Altidore nearly put the U.S. ahead late, but Green got a hand on his angled shot and it deflected off the corner of the goal. Howard, who needed treatment in the first half when Emile Heskey slid into his chest, saved the Americans time and again in the second half, frustrating the famous
high-priced stars he faces each week in the Premier League. With each save late in the game, louder chants of “U-S-A!” erupted from Sam’s Army and American Outlaws, groups who made the long and expensive trip from home to sit among the vuvuzelablowing fans on a cool night in the Southern Hemisphere. “I think when you play at the highest level and against the best competition, it will bring the best out of you,” Howard said. England must try to regroup as it seeks its first major title since winning the World Cup at home in 1966.
Earnhardt faces anniversary BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — It’s not the kind of anniversary Dale Earnhardt Jr. enjoys celebrating. NASCAR’s most popular driver heads to the track for Sunday’s 400mile race at Michigan International Speedway two years removed from his last trip to Victory Lane. It’s been 71 long races since Earnhardt memorably coaxed his No. 88 Chevrolet to the finish line at the two-mile oval, alternately starting and then killing the engine to conserve enough fuel to reach the checkered flag under caution. He hoped his first win at Hendrick Motorsports would be the start of big things. Instead, it’s been
two years of mostly big headaches. E a r n h a r d t missed the Earnhardt Chase for the championship last year and is in danger of missing out again this fall. He’s 16th in points with 12 races remaining in the regular season and as close to falling out of the picture as he is of cracking the top 12. After finishing second at Daytona, he’s faded as the temperatures have warmed up with just one top-10 finish in his last nine races. Yet Earnhardt is surprisingly upbeat. He remains confident in crew chief Lance McGrew
despite some missteps in the race setups and pit strategy in recent weeks. “With everything that I’ve been through since I won my last race, I can honestly tell you ... this weekend I’ll get in the car Sunday and I firmly believe in what Lance is going to do, what the team is going to do,” said Earnhardt, who will start 27th. Besides, Earnhardt realizes he’s just as culpable for the drought as anyone. “I know I as a driver can always improve for this team,” he said. “If I was sitting there with a perfect record on my part, on my end, maybe I’d have some grounds to point some fingers.”

Hamilton sets pace in Canada
Logano-Harvick spat continues to heat up
A
t least until the green flag flies today at Michigan, NASCAR’s current flavor of the week in the feud department is Joey Logano/ Kevin Harvick souffle. Judging by the quotes coming out of the Michigan track so far this weekend, the clash SPORTS may not die down soon. Greer Logano Smith said that he ■■■ still doesn’t understand why Harvick turned him around on the next-to-last lap at Pocono last Sunday Harvick went down a list of incidents in which Logano didn’t race him cleanly in both the Cup and Nationwide series. He also said that after he spun Logano after being blocked for several laps at Bristol, one of his public relations people was brushed aside after the race by Logano’s father Tom – who was in the middle of the Pocono post-race fracas Joey Logano said he has been unable to talk to Harvick about their relationship. Harvick also said after the earlier incident involving Tom Logano, he tried talking to Joey about it at driver introductions at the next race and Logano laughed at him. He said, ‘Do you really think that was a big deal?’” Harvick recalled. “Obviously, now it’s a pretty big deal. So at that particular point, I said obviously he really doesn’t want to take any advice and doesn’t want to talk about things any further than what he thinks is right. So, we go to Phoenix, crashes in the back of me, tries to put me out down the straight-
away, blow it off. Go to Richmond, last restart, dumps me out of the way, lose four or five spots. So at that point I get out of the car, tell him how I feel. Go to Pocono and race hard. Same thing happened.” Greg Biffle, who had a string of run-ins with Logano last year, said he could have predicted that Harvick would spin Logano at Bristol. “I watched him chop off Kevin for 15 laps,” Biffle said. “Kevin had his nose in there two or three times and Joey chopped it to the bottom. I knew that was only going to go on for so long. I could have written him a letter and put it in the mail and sent it to him to let him know. He was going to have a problem eventually. On the last lap, he had a problem and doesn’t understand why. If you don’t understand why you don’t have a problem, then you have a serious problem.” Harvick and Biffle both noted that Logano is only 20, possesses tremendous talent and belongs in the Cup Series. “He’s going to have a long career at this level,” Harvick said. “The hardest part to figure about this sport is how the politics work, how the on-track stuff works, and how to handle yourself, and unfortunately he’s 20. So, there’s a big step that has to be taken from, obviously, shedding the dad. Obviously that was the biggest issue last week. After the race, same thing (as before). Dad’s up in the motorhome driver’s face, chanting and hollering, and those things don’t need to happen.” Fathers of drivers getting in the middle of a fracas is Caraway Speedway or Bowman Gray
AP
Joey Logano rests against his car Saturday during a break in practice for today’s 400mile Cup race at Michigan International Speedway. Logano and Kevin Harvick are at odds after an incident last Sunday at Pocono. Stadium type stuff, where the father is shelling out the money so his son can race. At the Cup level, not so much. Joey Logano noted that other fathers of drivers come to the track. Harvick’s father rarely attends. “Everyone’s been in the situation growing up – racing with your father going up through the ranks and all of that,” the younger Logano said. “A lot of the fathers are still here at the race track. Not even for a 20-yearold kid, but for the older guys too – they still come
to the race track. There’s nothing different there than everybody else.” Except the other fathers usually don’t get in the middle of confrontations. Logano, just into his second season as a Cup driver, also said it will be a long time before he shows Harvick any type of respect. That’s heavy talk for someone just crossing the 50-start plateau. But, Logano is trying to establish his ground. Otherwise, he’s going to be a pushover throughout his career. Harvick, however, says
that Logano will find it difficult to gain respect as long as daddy gets in the middle of his battles. Logano said he was reminded this week by his car owner, Joe Gibbs, not to do anything to jeopardize the team’s effort to get into the top 12 in points and make the Chase for the Championship. That noted, it is hard to believe that he won’t be in another incident with Harvick somewhere down the road, however. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519
Almirola posts second win; Dillon fifth BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Aric Almirola’s enjoyed his first win in the NASCAR Truck Series at Dover last month, yet he freely admits it was decidedly lacking in style points. He’ll have no such worries about his second. Almirola gambled to take the lead with seven laps to go then held off Todd Bodine and Kyle Busch to win Saturday’s race at Michigan International Speedway. “This weekend we did it fair and square,” Almirola said. “I raced my butt off with those guys.” He didn’t really have a choice during a mad dash to the finish in which he somehow kept Bodine, the series points leader, and Busch, possibly the most talented driver in NASCAR, at bay. The victory pulled Almirola within 55 of Bodine in the points race, yet he wasn’t interested in talking about a championship. He was too busy savoring a hard-fought win that featured plenty of three-wide racing at the two-mile oval. Pole-sitter Austin Dillon, grandson of longtime NASCAR owner Richard Childress, led 18 laps but had his hopes for winning dashed due to a pit box violation. Dillon was attempt-
final moments to finish fifth in the 200-miler. Almirola celebrated with a well-deserved burnout after beating Bodine by about a truck length at the finish, a decidedly giddier celebration than the one he had at Dover. Maybe it’s because Almirola doesn’t feel he won the race so much as other drivers lost it. Busch ran out of gas and had to pit just before the finish. Afterward Almirola acknowledged he would have liked the opportunity to go all-out against Busch. He got his chance on Saturday, and after a slow start that included a 40-minute rain delay, helped put on a show.

Mansell escapes serious injury in crash at Le Mans LE MANS, France (AP) — Peugeot was still leading at the 24 Hours of Le Mans after nine hours on Saturday despite losing one of its cars and reliability concerns. After dominating the qualifying to monopolize the four top spots on the starting grid, the French manufacturer’s cars looked set to secure a second straight victory at the showcase event. But the Peugeot 908 HDI
of former Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais, which had started from the pole, retired because of suspension damage after less than three hours. The Peugeot driven by Marc Gene, Alexander Wurz and Anthony Davidson then had to pit for 12 minutes with electric problems and subsequently dropped from first to seventh place. Gene, however, started a phenomenal comeback
and moved back to fifth after posting the race’s best lap in 3 minutes, 19.644 seconds just before midnight. “Now I’m gonna drive every single lap like in qualifying,” Davidson said. After nine hours, the Peugeot cars were holding the first two spots at the 8.4-mile Circuit de la Sarthe, with Franck Montagny leading Nicolas Lapierre in the non-fac-
tory team Oreca’s Peugeot by one lap. Just 18 minutes into the race, former Formula One world champion Nigel Mansell crashed. Mansell spun in his Ginetta-Zytek and hit the security barrier before the Indianapolis turn. He spent several minutes in his car but was conscious when he was evacuated in an ambulance. Organizers later said he was in a good condition.
Mansell was taken to the circuit’s medical center and escaped “with a bump on the head,” according to organizers. The 56-year-old British driver was racing for the first time at Le Mans, with his sons Greg and Leo. Mansell won the F1 title in 1992. “He’s having some extra checks. He took a bit of a knock but he should be fine,” Greg Mansell told Eurosport.
MONTREAL (AP) — McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton won his third straight Canadian Grand Prix pole Saturday, snapping Red Bull’s season-opening streak at seven. Hamilton, coming off a victory two weeks ago in Turkey, took the Hamilton top spot on his final lap in the third round of qualifying, edging Red Bull’s Mark Webber with a time of 1 minute, 15.105 seconds at 2.709mile Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. “I think it’s fantastic for the team,” said Hamilton, the 2007 winner in Montreal. “I’m really proud of my guys. I damaged the car a little bit in practice and they fixed it in no time — seriously professional.” Webber, the Formula 1 season points leader and a four-time pole winner this year, was second — 0.268 seconds back. Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel qualified third. Hamilton used Bridgestone’s super-soft compound tires in the 10-car qualifying finale, while Webber and Vettel went out on the more durable medium compound. The top 10 drivers have to start the race on the tires they used in the last session. “It’s fairly interesting to see the two different strategies and it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out tomorrow,” said Hamilton, the 25year-old British star who won the 2008 season title. “I think both tires are very, very close.” Webber and Red Bull took a more conservative approach. “Hopefully, it’ll be beneficial for us,” said Webber, a two-time winner this season. “We stuck to our guns and here we are in the top three again.” Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso was fourth, followed by McLaren’s Jenson Button, Force India’s Tonio Liuzzi, Ferrari’s Felipe Massa and Renault’s Robert Kubica.
McClenathan finishes No. 1 in NHRA trials ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. (AP) — Cory McClenathan secured his fourth No. 1 qualifier of the season Saturday when his quickest-ever pass in NHRA history a day earlier wasn’t threatened as qualifying concluded at the 41st annual NHRA Supernationals. There were no changes in any of the other three categories either as Robert Hight (Funny Car), Mike Edwards (Pro Stock) and Michael Phillips (Pro Stock Motorcycle) remained on top of their respective qualifying categories at the 11th of 23 races in the 2010 NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series. McClenathan’s 3.752second pass at 324.75 mph from Friday night was the quickest and second-fastest run in since NHRA moved to 1,000-foot racing two years ago. It was the 37th No. 1 of his career.

Nava makes grand debut for Red Sox THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Daniel Nava hit the first pitch he faced in the big leagues for a grand slam — only the second payer to do it — leading the Boston Red Sox to their second straight rout of the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-2 Saturday. Nava connected on a fastball from Joe Blanton in the second inning and shortly after being called up from Triple-A Pawtucket. Kevin Kouzmanoff connected on the first pitch he saw Sept. 2, 2006, for Cleveland against Texas, according to STATS LLC. Only four players in big league history have hit grand slams in their first at-bat. Daisuke Matsuzaka was a late scratch and placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained forearm following his pregame bullpen warmup. Emergency starter Scott Atchison, recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday, worked three innings, allowing two runs and two hits in his first major league start. With his parents watching from the stands — and father operating a video camera — Nava came to bat with the Red Sox trailing 2-1 in the second. In one pitch he became the 10th player in Red Sox history to homer in his first at-bat, and just the second to hit a grand slam. Rip Repulski hit a slam on May 10, 1960. He came up with the bases loaded again an inning later and received a standing ovation. But he struck out on a check swing with the crowd on its feet. J.D. Drew homered and had three hits for the Red Sox, who beat the Phillies 122 on the opener of a three-game series on Friday night. Nava also doubled as Boston amassed 16 hits. Manny Delcarmen (2-2), the second of five pitchers, worked two scoreless innings for the win. Brian Schneider had three hits and drove in both of Philadelphia’s runs. The Phillies are 7-16 in their last 23 games. The Red Sox pounded Blanton (1-5) for nine runs and 13 hits in four innings. But, he didn’t fare as badly as Friday’s starter, Jamie Moyer, who had the worst start in his 24 seasons, allowing nine runs and nine hits in one-plus inning. Boston broke it open with five runs in the second and three in the third.

With the Red Sox trailing 2-1 in the second after Drew’s homer, they loaded the bases before Nava hit his slam into the Boston bullpen in right. Marco Scutaro had a two-run single to make it 7-2 in the third. Dustin Pedroia added an RBI single. Matsuzaka had warmed up and walked to the dugout about 15 minutes before the scheduled start. Just ahead of the national anthem, Atchison started warming up quickly in the bullpen. When it was over, he completed his warmups before walking to the dugout with pitching coach John Farrell along side. The club announced the scratch and roster move just before the Red Sox took the field.

The Cubs got a run-scoring single from Ryan Theriot off Bobby Jenks with two outs in the ninth, but he struck out Chad Tracy for his 11th save in 12 chances.

Argentina, South Korea net shutouts in openers BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHANNESBURG – Gabriel Heinze scored on a diving header and Argentina hung on for 1-0 victory over Nigeria despite missing a fistful of scoring chances in the teams’ World Cup opener. Heinze’s goal came in the sixth minute, when he took advantage of weak defense to power in a shot from 12 yards off Juan Sebastian Veron’s corner kick. The Nigerians struggled for much of the match to contain Argentina forward Lionel Messi, who tormented them with his masterful moves. Striker Gonzalo Higuain failed to convert three good chances, including what seemed a certain goal in the fourth minute. Messi also came agonizingly close several times against goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, whose terrific saves kept it close. Taye Taiwo came within inches of an equalizer with a low shot that flew just past Sergio Romero’s left post, and substitute Kalu Uche then scooped a weak shot over the crossbar from inside the box with eight minutes left.
Africa – Lee Jung-soo and Park Ji-sung each scored and South Korea eased to a win over lackluster Greece.. Lee tapped in a free kick from short range in the seventh minute and Park Ji-sung doubled the lead in the 52nd with a slick solo goal. The Manchester United midfielder collected a misplaced pass from Vassilis Torosidis and skipped past two defenders before slipping a shot beyond goalkeeper Alexandros Tzorvas. Striker Park Chu-young had another three chances to score for South Korea, and Fanis Gekas had a shot saved with 10 minutes left in what was Greece’s best chance. Greece mustered only a few shots the Koreans blocked.
BRITON DENIED ENTRY
JOHANNESBURG – A British soccer hooligan has been detained by South African police and will be deported, police said Saturday as more burglaries of World Cup visitors were reported. A court also sentenced three thieves to a total of 34 years in prison for robbing foreign journalists. In separate cases, a Uruguayan soccer official and SOUTH KOREA 2, GREECE 0 journalists from New Zealand PORT ELIZABETH, South reported thefts at their hotels.

Greece’s Vassilis Torosidis (left) and South Korea’s Lee Chung-yong go for the ball during the World Cup group B soccer match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on Saturday. The hooligan is a 42-year-old British male who allegedly has a history of inciting racially motivated violence at sporting events and was detained after flying into South Africa on Friday, police spokeswoman Sally de Beer said. He was to be deported later in the day.
The sentencings came after three journalists – two from Portugal, one from Spain – were robbed of money, camera equipment, laptops and mobile phones last Wednesday in a town northwest of Johannesburg. One of the journalists was robbed at gunpoint.
“It took police no more than 24 hours to arrest these lunatic scoundrels,” South Africa minister of police Nathi Mthetwa said in a statement. “It further took the justice department no more than 48 hours to sentence them. We will act with swiftness on any criminality.”

The history of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach is short. The memories are not. The course is famous for its sheer beauty, especially the seven holes in the middle that run along the rugged Pacific coastline, and the wall along the 18th fairway that stands between the great meeting of land and sea. Adding to its mystique is the Hall of Fame champions Pebble produces in the U.S. Open. The four winners collectively own 202 victories on the PGA Tour and 41 majors. “Great venues have great winners,” Geoff Ogilvy said. “Most members have it wrong. They think high scores validate their golf course. It’s great champions that validate a golf course, don’t you think? And they’ve all been great tournaments.” No doubt, they have been memorable. It starts in 1972 with Jack Nicklaus hitting 1-iron into the cool, ocean wind on the par-3 17th, the ball striking the pin and stopping a foot away for the birdie that gave him the second leg of the Grand Slam. Ten years later, with perhaps the most memorable shot of all, Tom Watson chipped in for birdie from behind the 17th green to deny Nicklaus a record fifth U.S. Open. Tom Kite chipped in on the par-3 seventh hole in the blustery, punishing conditions to win in 1992. And then there was Tiger Woods. Asked for his favorite memory from 2000, Woods settled on the 3-foot par he made on the final hole. Nothing really stands out from that week because so many shots were right where he was aiming. How else to explain a six-shot lead after 36 holes, a 10-shot lead going into the final round and a 15-shot victory that stands among the great feats in 150 years of the majors? “I didn’t do anything special that week,” Woods said. “Everything was just on.” Everything is up in the air going into the 110th U.S. Open, and the fifth at Pebble Beach, which starts Thursday. Woods is No. 1 in the world, as he was 10 years ago coming into the U.S. Open on the Monterey Peninsula, but the similarities stop there after his image was shattered
during the offseason when he was caught in a web of infidelity. The real measure of Woods might start at Pebble. It is a course where Woods feels comfortable, even though he last saw it eight years ago. It is where he became the first player in U.S. Open history to finish at double digits below par (12-under). In the bigger picture, Woods is four majors behind the record 18 won by Nicklaus. This is an important year with Pebble Beach and St. Andrews on the major rotation. Nicklaus still believes Woods will break his record, although he is curious about these next two months. “He basically won on those fairly easily through the years,” Nicklaus said. “If he has problems with those golf courses, sure, they won’t come around for a while. Maybe it might be tougher.” For now, the more tangible rival is Phil Mickelson, who brings as much hope as he does scar tissue to the U.S. Open. Mickelson is a three-time winner at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and it was here in the 1992 U.S. Open that he turned pro. He opened with a 68 that year, only to follow with an 81 to miss the cut. It’s about like his career, filled with ups and downs, the changes sometimes swift and with little notice. Mickelson is trending upward at the moment, and he comes to Pebble Beach as the only player capable of the Grand Slam this year. His inspirational victory at the Masters, where wife Amy showed up for the first time since being diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, allowed him to break out of the pack behind Woods with his fourth major, the most of active players besides Woods. Mickelson might trade them all for a U.S. Open, the major that is haunting him. A year ago at Bethpage Black, in his final tournament before a break to cope with his wife’s cancer, Mickelson was poised to capture the U.S. Open until missing short putts over the final four holes. He could not catch Lucas Glover, and wound up a runner-up for a record fifth time. “It’s my national open,” Mickelson said. “With this tournament being at Pebble ... I feel like there’s a good opportunity there.”
U.S. team rallies Hockey fan enjoys round at St. Jude’s at Curtis Cup THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANCHESTER-BYTHE-SEA, Mass. (AP) – The United States swept all three fourball matches at the Curtis Cup on Saturday to take a 5.5-3.5 lead over Great Britain and Ireland. Alexis Thompson, yet to lose a match, and Jessica Korda won the first three holes and then held off Danielle McVeigh and Pamela Pretswell 2 and 1 in the second day of the biennial competition at Essex Country Club. Kimberly Kim sank an
8-foot birdie on the 17th hole and Stephanie Kono edged Sally Watson and Rachel Jennings 2 and 1. Jennifer Song had eight birdies in just 16 holes as she and Cydney Clanton defeated 15-year-old twins Lisa and Leona Maguire of Ireland 3 and 2. The Curtis Cup pits teams of eight female amateur golfers from the U.S. against a team from Great Britain and Ireland. The U.S. has won six straight matches and needs 10 points to retain the cup.
against two bogeys to reach 11-under 199. Swede Robert Karlsson, who shot a 68, is within striking distance of becoming the first European to win this event – the tour’s third oldest dating to 1958. He chipped in from 24 feet on No. 18 to stay close. Englishman Lee Westwood, ranked No. 3, had led or had a share of the lead after the first two rounds. He had four bogeys and finished with a 71 that left him tied with Heath Slocum (66) at 8-under. He headed almost immediately to the putting green for more practice on his stroke.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Robert Garrigus is taking inspiration for his own game from his beloved Chicago Blackhawks. “I figured ... if the Blackhawks can win the Stanley Cup, I can win a PGA Tour event,” Garrigus said. “I kept thinking about the Blackhawks all day.” It sure worked Saturday. Still recovering from a bout of food poisoning, Garrigus got hot with his short putter and shot a 4-under 66 to break out of a pack and grab a twostroke lead after three rounds at a steamy St. Jude Classic. It’s the first time the 32-year- LPGA THIRD ROUND A WASHOUT old pro has led a PGA Tour event SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – The third by himself, and he surged to the round of the LPGA State Farm top with four birdies and an eagle Classic has been postponed Satur-
day because of thunderstorms. Heavy rain suspended play for four hours before the round was halted with 46 players still on the course. The round is scheduled to resume at 8 a.m. EDT today, but rain is expected again. Second-round leader M.J. Hur and Cristie Kerr sit atop the leaderboard at 13-under.
BJORN LEADS ESTORIL OPEN ESTORIL, Portugal – Thomas Bjorn of Denmark leads the Estoril Open by three shots after three rounds. He held off a challenge from Richard Green on Saturday. After shooting a second straight 7under 65, Bjorn is at 19-under. Bjorn has not won since capturing the Irish Open in 2006 for his ninth victory on the European tour.

BASEBALL HONORS ROLL IN HIGH POINT – HPU kunior out-
fielder Nate Roberts was named a 2010 Ping!Baseball All-America third-team selection on Friday. Roberts led the nation with a .573 on-base percentage and 88 runs scored, and became just the second Panther to be named the Big South Player of the Year. The Spring Grove, Ill., native set Big South and HPU singleseason records in OBP and runs scored while batting .416 with 19 home runs and 69 RBIs. He also stole 36 bases and was hit by 25 pitches while drawing 53 walks. Roberts was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the fifth round of the 2010 MLB FirstYear Player Draft on Tuesday. Roberts and fellow outfielder Matt Gantner also were named to the 2010 North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association (NCCSIA) All-State baseball team. Gantner, a senior from Hartland, Wisc., set the HPU singleseason records for hits (88) and doubles (25). The captain hit

Texas weighs options AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas is still “looking at all options” before deciding whether to stay in the crumbling Big 12 or move to another league, athletic director DeLoss Dodds said Saturday. Dodds spoke outside of his stadium suite before Saturday’s TexasTCU baseball game, but declined further comment on what those options are. Dodds has said he wants to keep the Big 12 together. The Longhorns are considered the key to the league’s survival, particularly after it lost Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-10) in a matter of two days this week. The Texas regents have scheduled a meeting Tuesday for “discussion and appropriate action regarding athletic conference membership.” An official at a Big 12 school with knowledge of the talks confirmed that Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott was traveling to Texas and Oklahoma this weekend to present a case for Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to join the Pac-10. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the discussions. Pac-10 officials did not immediately respond to e-mail messages seeking comment. Texas President William Powers Jr. and football coach Mack Brown watched the baseball game from Dodds’ suite. Powers, when stopped in the stairwell of DischFalk Stadium, declined comment.
.379 with 71 RBIs on his way to an All-Big South first-team selection. Gantner hit all eight of his career home runs in his final season, starting all 60 games for HPU. Roberts was one of two unanimous selections to the AllState team, along with Charlotte relief pitcher Patrick Lawson. Gantner and Roberts helped the Panthers to a 31-29 overall record, the most wins for HPU in a Division I season. They were also key pieces of an offense that set program records in batting average, hits, doubles, home runs, runs scored, RBIs, walks and stolen bases. The seventh-annual team consists of NCAA Division I student-athletes from North Carolina colleges and universities. North Carolina sports information professionals submitted the nominees and NCCSIA members voted for the All-State team.

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany (center) speaks, flanked by Nebraska’s athletic director Tom Osborne (left) and Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman at announcement that Nebraska is joining the Big Ten.
Osborne: Big Ten offer stronger than traditions LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — When Nebraska beat Oklahoma in the 1971 Game of the Century, when Johnny Rodgers took that punt return the distance, Tom Osborne was there. He made the call when the Cornhuskers fell short on the 2-point conversion try for the win against Miami in the 1984 Orange Bowl. He won three national championships and went 60-3 in his last five seasons, the final two coming in the Big 12. As much as anyone, Osborne epitomized the Big Eight and had a hand in building the Big 12 into a BCS power. “He made the Big Eight what it was,” said Barry Switzer, Osborne’s friend and coaching counterpart at Oklahoma in the 1970s and ’80s. Now, with Nebraska’s move to the Big Ten, Os-
borne is one of the key architects in putting the Big 12 on the brink of irrelevancy, if not destruction. Osborne said the nostalgia he felt for the days Nebraska played Oklahoma for league titles waned years ago, and he leaves longtime opponents Kansas, Missouri and others behind with a touch of sadness — but no regrets. “We’re going to miss them, and we feel bad about that, but we’re looking forward to some other competition. Life goes on,” said Osborne, Nebraska’s 73-year-old athletic director. Switzer said he knows Osborne based his decision on what was best for Nebraska, just as Arkansas’ Frank Broyles, long a fixture in the old Southwest Conference, did when the Razorbacks jumped to the Southeast-
ern Conference in 1990. “Frank made Arkansas healthier,” Switzer said. “Tom is making Nebraska healthier.” Osborne and Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman said they could see the Big 12 begin to splinter months ago and that no one was willing to commit to stay put as football-driven expansion talk started heating up in other leagues. The Big Ten offers a safe haven — prestige, a history of stability and the opportunity to make significantly more money. Yet the foundation for Nebraska’s football success was built on associations the Huskers have had as far back as the 1890s. Kansas, which is now sitting on the outside looking in as expansion unfolds, has played Nebraska every year since 1907.
THOMASVILLE – The phrase “actions speak louder than words” is the perfect way to describe East Davidson’s Keaton Hawks. A soft-spoken senior on the diamond for the Golden Eagles, Hawks preferred to let his game do the talking, and there were plenty of colleges listening. After a sizzling senior campaign in which he earned All-Central Carolina 2A Conference honors and finished runner-up in Player of the Year voting, Hawks made the final move in his recruiting process, signing a letter of intent to play for the Catawba Indians. “I am really glad that everything has paid off,” said Hawks. “I have worked hard for this and it is just a great opportunity I am looking forward to take advantage of.” Along with a stellar glove in the infield and sound pitching, Hawks was a dangerous hitter, batting .556 with five home runs and 27 RBIs. He played a leading role in helping the Golden Eagles achieve a 17-9 record and capture a second straight CCC Tournament title. “Keaton is one of those special kids that is not only an excellent
baseball player, but a great person as well,” said Eagles coach Dan Tricarico. “He has great leadership qualities, and we will certainly miss him for not only the statistics he put up, but also for those things that are immeasurable. It is always hard to replace a quality person.” Hawks was pursued by several colleges, but what Catawba had to offer as a whole was too much for him to pass up. His excitement for the baseball program is high, but it was another area that interests him the most. “Academics is a big priority in my family and Catawba is a wellknown school for academics,” said Hawks, who hopes to pursue a degree in either exercise science or biology. First, Hawks will finish up playing for the Thomasville-Davidson American Legion baseball team. He has been privileged to have Dale Moser as his coach there for two seasons, and spoke highly of those who have been devoted to helping him during his career. “I’ve had great coaches that have helped me get my name out there and have never given up on me when things did not look the best,” said Hawks. kepley@tvilletimes.com | 888-3631
Ga. Tech suspends DE ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech defensive end Robert Hall has been suspended indefinitely after an argument over money with his girlfriend led to a battery charge. A Georgia Tech police incident report says the dispute last weekend re-

Texas A&M repeats sweep of NCAA track titles EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Texas A&M won both the men’s and women’s team titles at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships for the second straight year. The men pulled in front on Saturday after a victory in the 4x400-meter relay. The Aggies were even in the points with host Oregon going into the event, which the Ducks did not run. Florida finished the meet as the runner-up.
The women were boosted by a 1-2 finish in the 200 meters earlier in the day. They finished ahead of Oregon to the disappointment of the home crowd of 12,812 at historic Hayward Field. Texas A&M had never won a team title before last year’s championships in Fayetteville, Ark. They were the first school since 1990 to win both outdoor championships. “You can’t come in here and
say This is going to happen. You come in here and say We gotta make it happen. That’s what we tried to do today,” coach Pat Henry said. The Aggie men finished with 55 points, followed by Florida with 54 and the Ducks with 45. The Gators came close to unseating the defending champions in the meet’s final field event, the long jump, but Christian Taylor fell to fourth and the Gators
came up short on points. Texas A&M’s team of Tran Howell, Bryan Miller, Demetrius Pinder and Tabarie Henry bested runner-up Mississippi State and Florida in the 4x400 with a time of 3 minutes, .89 seconds. The women finished with 72 total points, followed by Oregon with 57 and Florida with 40. The first two days of the meet were marred by heavy downpours and chilly temperatures.
The sun finally broke on Friday, but on Saturday morning the fog lingered for all but the final events. The home crowd was treated to a rare 1-2-3 finish in the 1,500 meters. Andrew Wheating pulled out front in the final 10 meters followed by Oregon teammates A.J. Acosta and Matthew Centrowitz. Wheating finished in 3:47.94.

Curtis Cup
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A look at Day 2 Saturday at the World Cup (all times EDT):
RESULTS
HIGHLIGHTS South Korea, a semifinalist eight years ago before going out in the first round in 2006, got off to a strong start: a 2-0 victory over Greece. Although he didn’t score, Lionel Messi mesmerized Nigeria with his slick moves, masterful passes and overall playmaking in a 1-0 victory for Argentina. The South Americans got a diving header goal by Gabriel Heinze in the sixth minute. A blunder by Robert Green gave the United States’ its only goal in a 1-1 draw with England. Green fumbled Clint Dempsey’s 25-yard leftfooted drive that skipped off the grass. The ball dropped behind Green and rolled into the net.
STARS Tim Howard was spectacular against many of the players he often faces in the English Premier League, helping the United States draw with England 1-1 in Group C. The U.S. keeper even overcame a collision in which he hurt his ribs and chest to stymie England. Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama made a half-dozen tough saves as Argentina threatened for much of its 1-0 victory in Group B. Enyeama was particularly sharp on closein chances by Argentina star Lionel Messi and teammate Gonzalo Higuain. Gabriel Heinze scored on a diving header — he threw his entire body parallel to the ground and toward the ball — to give Argentina the 1-0 victory over Nigeria in Group B. Heinze redirected a corner kick by Juan Sebastian Veron from about 12 yards.
HISTORY For the first time since 1950 and the second time in any World Cup, England and the United States met. The last match was a stunning 1-0 U.S. victory in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, that still is considered one of sports’ greatest upsets. In Saturday’s Group C game, the Americans remained undefeated against their English counterparts with a 1-1 draw. Clint Dempsey became the second American to score in two World Cups, joining Brian McBride. South Korea’s Park Ji-sung stole a misplaced pass from Vassilis Torosidis and dribbled past two defenders before slipping a shot beyond goalkeeper Alexandros Tzorvas to clinch a 2-0 victory over Greece at Port Elizabeth in Group B.
LOOKAHEAD The other teams in Group C with the United States and England get started when Algeria and Slovenia meet (7:30 a.m at Polokwane). Both Algeria and Slovenia needed playoffs after qualifying to reach the World Cup, which could favor the Slovenians. They had to beat European championships semifinalist Russia in a two-game series to qualify. Algeria won every home match at home during qualifying, then defeated Egypt in a playoff. It is the only Arab nation in the tournament. Ghana advanced from a difficult group four years ago before losing to Brazil and begins this event against Serbia (10 a.m. EDT at Pretoria). It is without star Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien, and will rely heavily on Sulley Muntari, who won the Champions League with Inter Milan this year. Serbia midfielder Dejan Stankovic also plays for Inter, and center back Nemanja Vidic is among the best in the world. Germany, always a contender in big events, brings its second-youngest squad ever to a World Cup. It opens against Australia (2:30 p.m. at Durban). Coach Joachim Loew has reshaped Germany since it lost 1-0 to Spain in the final of the 2008 European Championship; six of his players moved up from the team that won the European under-21 title last year. Australia has one of the top goalkeepers in Mark Schwarzer of Fulham and advanced to the second round in 2006.
QUOTABLE “We really have to get our act together. We’ve got to improve a couple of things and be brave and courageous enough.” — Greece coach Otto Rehhagel after a loss to South Korea.

Bynum bounces back BOSTON (AP) – Andrew Bynum is altogether clear on this: He’ll play in Game 5 of the NBA finals. Beyond that, the key to the Los Angeles Lakers’ interior defense – and perhaps the team’s championship chances – can’t make any promises. “I’m 100 percent sure that I’m playing come Sunday,” the Lakers’ 7foot center said Saturday. Bynum had fluid drained from his right knee after Boston evened the series 2-2 with a 96-89 win Thursday night. He was encouraged that the swelling had not returned since then. He had fluid drained from the same knee just before the series and the swelling reappeared. He knows that will happen again. “It’s going to come back after Game 5, for sure,” Bynum said. “It’s guaranteed. But as long as I’m able to be out there and be effective, that’s what counts. And I
know this game is the biggest game because it can change the whole series.” Bynum played 28 minutes in the opener, 39 in the second game and 29 in the third. He had 40 points and 22 rebounds as the Lakers opened a 2-1 series lead. But he played just 12 minutes in Game 4 and sat out the last 14 minutes. His totals: 2 points, 3 rebounds, no blocks, Without him, the Lakers let a 62-60 lead after three quarters slip away as Boston power forward Glen Davis took advantage of Bynum’s absence to score 9 points in the fourth quarter. Two of Davis’ baskets helped turn a 64-all tie into a 70-64 lead. “It’s rare that you see an NBA game won by one six-point run and that’s kind of what happened,” Bynum said. “The whole game was real slow, real nasty. We had the lead and we kind of choked.” Had he played, it would
have been much tougher for Davis to grab rebounds and make layups. Bynum’s health could be the difference between the Lakers successfully defending their title or the Celtics reclaiming it after beating L.A. in 2008. “I embrace” the responsibility, he said, “because I know what I’m able to do out there on the court and just want to go out there and just be effective. If I do that, if I give us some good minutes out there, then we’ll have a great shot at winning the game.” Bynum doesn’t know how long he’ll play today. It depends on how he feels. He does know he wouldn’t be able to play if the fluid had not been drained. “I’m going to be able to play with the pain. That’s not the problem,” he said. “It’s when the swelling’s in there ... it shuts the muscle AP down and then that’s when you’re really vulnerable to Boston forward Glen Davis shoots against the Lakers’ Andrew Bynum during Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Bynum will be the center of attention in tonight’s pivotal Game 5. more injury.”

Lowly bobber rises again S
ummer was a time for me to dodge working in the garden. It’s a sad thing to admit, but if I was one of the original two brothers, I’m afraid I would have been Cain. My brother Donald got the farmer/gardener gene (he was natured like Abel), but I didn’t get a love of the soil at all. Fortunately, I didn’t murder Donald – but I do confess that I’ve never put up a garden in my whole life. As a result, I would do anything to stay out of the garden. I hated mowing but, given the choice, I would suddenly decide the yard needed mowing when I thought I might be drafted into garden duty. Don’t think it worked, but I tried. I spent much more time than I wanted to planting and carrying water, operating a hoe, or picking corn, beans or tomatoes. I hated it so much it took some of the pleasure out of summer, but not enough that I don’t still feel some envy when the kids are getting out of school. They get the summer off and I have to stay at work, finding places to fish, scouting out hunting locations, and breaking clay targets to stay in practice for fall. I never get a rest. It was one of those summer afternoons when I figured out how to fish a bobber. Daddy and I had taken the old Rambler wagon over to Mr. Ed Wellborn’s fishpond and I was catching bream. I had a pencil bobber I’d purchased somewhere because it looked cooler than the red and white plastic bobbers everyone else I knew used. And, having a newfound knowledge of specific gravity from school, I experimented to get just the right amount of shot to make that pencil bobber stand straight up. I’d bait it with a whole worm gobbed on the hook and cast out to the middle of the pond. Slowly, I would retrieve the line until a hand-sized bluegill pulled the pencil under. I had enough big bream to feed the family twice. Most serious anglers look down a little on bobber fishing. It’s just not high-tech enough for us. Maybe it reminds us of our lowly begin-
nings. Bobbers can be very effective, though. About 40 years after the pencil bobber incident, I happened to be on a jetty on Lake Michigan in SPORTS Saint Joseph, Mich. The locals were Dick catching steelhead in Jones the 12-pound range ■■■ on tiny hooks with pencil bobbers. The neat trick was that the bobbers were set to fish 12 feet of water. I’d never seen a sliding bobber in action. A sliding bobber looks like my old pencil bobber, but the line runs through the length of it. Up line – 12 feet from the hook in this case – is a little knot tied around the line. The knot is tight enough around the mono line to hold and loose enough for the angler to adjust the depth with it. When the angler retrieves, the knot goes through the guides and it can even go onto the spool. The bobber slides down the line to the split shot, allowing the angler to cast without having the bobber and 12 feet of line off the tip of the rod, a feat which would be almost impossible. When the angler casts, the shot pulls the line down through the bobber until it gets to the preset knot, allowing the fisherman to adjust his depth perfectly. I was impressed with the ingenuity of those Midwesterners. I went home and rigged my grandson’s fishing rod with a sliding bobber and eliminated the tangles he was plagued with when using a regular bobber. Great trick, that sliding bobber. It’s a long way from Michigan to Venice, La., but I learned a neat bobber trick in the passes that feed the Mississippi’s flow into the Gulf. I was fishing with Donnie Thomas, a great guide, and we were catching one of my favorite fish, the red drum – or, in the Deep South, the redfish. I’d fished with Donnie in the fall and we’d nailed them, but this time, it was spring. Donnie explained that the fish were a little
pickier in spring and we’d have to use different tactics. We still used jigs with soft plastic minnows, but this time we rigged them under a rather large red-andwhite Styrofoam float. The float was cone-shaped and had a concave surface on top. When at rest, it floated with the concave top out of the water. When you pulled on the line, much as you would with a Hula Popper or similar top water, the concave top would create a loud “pop.” The theory was the fish would hear the pop and think another fish had attacked a small fish on the surface. When he looked that way, he’d see our jig and think the other fish had missed. He’d be compelled by his instincts to quickly take the bait before the other fish came back. The theory worked like bringing your dog to a ballgame to pick up girls. We caught redfish all day with the popping corks. That fall, I brought a few of them with me to Cape Hatteras and showed them to Frank Folb. Frank runs Frank and Fran’s Tackle Shop, my favorite hang out on the Outer Banks. I reasoned that, if popping corks worked in the shallow passes off the Gulf, they’d work in the shallow water of the Pamlico Sound. Frank looked at them and shook his head. “Just ‘cause that’ll catch fish in Venice don’t mean it’ll catch fish here. I couldn’t sell them things.” The conversation was over. Now, of course, you can buy popping corks at every tackle shop on the island – including Franks. People use them on red drum and trout with the same results we had in the Gulf. I guess it took a little time for the fish up here to figure out how the things worked. DICK JONES IS a freelance writer living in High Point who writes about hunting, fishing, dogs and shooting.

Vikes’ Percy set to show no mercy EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) – The awards and achievements piled up for Percy Harvin in his rookie season nearly as fast as the Florida speedster runs the 40. He scored a touchdown in his first three games for the Minnesota Vikings, was named NFC special teams player of the week after returning a kick for a score in Week 3 and set the franchise record for all-purpose yards in a season en route to a landslide victory in the AP offensive rookie of the year vote. He overcame a failed drug test just before the NFL combine that caused him to plummet down the draft board, quickly becoming one of Brett Favre’s favorite targets to help the Vikings reach the NFC title game. By any measure, Harvin’s first pro season was a resounding success. Any measure, that is, except for his own. “We didn’t win a championship. I didn’t play good enough to win it,” Harvin said on Saturday after the team’s minicamp. “The team didn’t play good enough to win. So we all evaluate ourselves and are trying to get better.” The Vikings are still haunted by turning the ball over five times in that overtime loss in New Orleans in January that cost them a trip to the Super Bowl. Harvin was one of the culprits, with his fumble deep in Minnesota territory setting up a Saints touchdown in the fourth quarter. With that play still fresh in his memory, Harvin set to work this offseason
determined to improve. He did not attend any of Minnesota’s optional practices in May, but when he reported to the team’s headquarters this week in advance of the mandatory minicamp, it was easy to see that his first offseason has been productive. “Percy looks good. He looks pretty rocked up, like he’s been working hard,” offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. “He’s been running around out here well. You can still see his ability to make plays, catch the ball. I like what we see out of him right now.” Harvin added about 12 pounds of muscle to his 5-foot-11 frame while working out at home in Florida, and he looks even more prepared to absorb the punishment that comes with being Minnesota’s Mr. Everything – receiver, running back, return man. “It looks like he wintered very well in Gainesville,” coach Brad Childress said. “He hasn’t just been sitting around.” About the only things that could slow him down last season were migraine headaches, a debilitating condition that has plagued him for most of his life. Harvin missed a game against Cincinnati in December and did not practice for most of the week leading up to the NFC championship. He has visited the Mayo Clinic in a search for a cure, but so far has been unable to find a failproof answer. “My mom had them when she was younger, and she’s dealt with them,” Harvin said.

High Point pharmacist and researcher Amy Greeson relaxes in a dugout as she cruises the Amazon River in Ecuador, searching for exotic plants that could play a role in treating diseases.
Healing Seekers Amy Greeson wants to uncover the world’s hidden wonders of medicine BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
H
IGH POINT – As beautiful as the rosy periwinkle may be, Amy Greeson sees a different kind of beauty in the plant – specifically, a healing beauty. Greeson, a High Point pharmacist, knows that two extracts from rosy periwinkle – an endangered plant endemic to Madagascar – are commonly used as chemotherapy agents in the treatment of cancer. And if rosy periwinkle possesses that kind of healing properties, what other exotic species could be equally beneficial to the world of medicine? “Over 55 percent of the pharmaceuticals we use today actu-
ally come from nature, and that includes over 80 percent of our antibiotics,” says Greeson, founder of the nonprofit organization Healing Seekers. “There’s just an enormous amount of prescription drugs that people have no idea they originated from a natural source.” Therein lies the mission of Healing Seekers, a nonprofit organization devoted to exploring the remote regions of the world in search of medical treatments and cures. Greeson takes a small team with her to these remote regions, where they meet with traditional healers and gather indigenous plants in an attempt to find new potential treatments. The team has been to the

Amazon, the Andes and Madagascar, and a trip to New Guinea is planned for September. Greeson expects to visit Uganda and the Congo in 2011. “When we were in Madagascar, we asked the first five healers we met with, ‘How many outsiders have you talked to about your medicine?’” recalls Greeson, a 43-year-old Thomasville native. “Every one of them said we were the first – we were the first ones who had sat down and wanted to know how they were treating people in their villages. That’s an enormous amount of untapped knowledge, and we’re losing these libraries at an enormous rate because of the loss of cultures.”
That, in fact, is how Greeson got the idea for Healing Seekers. About five years ago, during a visit to the Amazon, she noticed a significant increase in development, resulting in the destruction of the environment and a diminishing of the culture. She decided to interview the Amazonian medicine men about their healing traditions, filming the interviews for educational purposes. “The footage turned out to be really good,” Greeson says. “One thing led to another, and we decided to start exploring the most remote and biodiverse areas of the world, bringing awareness to the environment – especially

Wife upset over losing place in checkout line D
ear Abby: I hope you can settle this. I was ahead of my husband â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who was pushing the cart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a grocery store. I found a checkout line that was less busy than the others and got in line. By the time my husband caught up with me, another man was standing behind me, so my husband stood behind him. I signaled my husband to go around the guy so we could unload the cart, but he felt that the guy behind me should go first. Abby, I did not race this guy to get there, and I felt my spouse could have said something like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excuse me, my wife is in front of you. Can I go around you?â&#x20AC;? I ended up giving the stranger (whose cart was full) my place and left the line to find another one, and I am peeved. Am I wrong? I was already in line, so I think that should have counted even if my husband didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get there before the other guy. This has become a huge bone of contention. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Feet Hurt And Tired
Dear F, H And T: Actually, I think you are wrong for expecting your husband to take the initiative when you could have done it. All you had to do was give the stranger a warm smile ADVICE and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Excuse me, but the man behind you Dear is my husband. Would Abby you please let him in so â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; we can check out and get the groceries paid for together?â&#x20AC;? Most people are courteous and would have agreed. Dear Abby: May I address an issue that seems like a no- brainer, but apparently is not? I work in an insurance agency handling financial services. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how many people make appointments and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up. Our agency offers excellent service â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after-hours and on weekends, as well

If you must cancel, please give us as much notice as possible. Let us know if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coming. Some courtesy is in order here.

eight months ago. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call him Gordon. A few months back he told me there is a woman living with him. I happen to be very much in love with Gordon. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confused about why he even started seeing me if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living with someone else. Gordon is 58 and I am 39. He swears he loves me. Am I being naive to believe there is a future for us? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trusting in Findlay, Ohio Dear Trusting: Not necessarily. The woman could be a relative or a platonic friend who is sharing expenses. Ask Gordon if the three of you can have dinner together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps at his place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and find out for yourself.

Boston visitors center to relocate BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The National Park Service is moving its Boston information center to a larger and more prominent location on the ground floor of historic Faneuil Hall. Superintendent Cassius Cash said in a statement Monday that funds have been allocated to move the center out of
its current location near the Old Statehouse to the space about two blocks away. He said the move will allow rangers to better inform visitors of the historic sites the city has to offer and â&#x20AC;&#x153;strengthen the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position as a leader in cultural tourism.â&#x20AC;? The 7,400-square foot facility will include ex-
hibits, an audio visual orientation program, handicapped-accessible restrooms, and a bookstore. It is expected to open in late 2011. The site is near the Freedom Trail, close to major subway and bus lines, water transportation and parking garages.

Benign tumor doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spread D
ear Dr. Donohue: While trying to wash my upstairs windows, I fell off a ladder. I hit the ground hard and was out of it for a couple of minutes. My wife was in a tizzy and insisted I go to the emergency room. They took a brain scan, and it showed a brain tumor. They gave me the name of a neurosurgeon, and I saw him. He said I have a meningioma, but nothing needs to be done. Is it OK to leave a brain tumor sitting there? I am 76. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; L.L. A meningioma is a benign (not cancerous) brain tumor. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spread to other organs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not strictly a brain tumor. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tumor of the meninges, the brain coverings. It can cause trouble if it grows large and presses on the brain. Then it causes symptoms. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case with yours. The incidence of meningiomas rises with age. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more common in women than in men, and that makes some believe that hormones
are involved in their development. Genes do have a role in their appearance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for another member of the family tree to have had one. Most HEALTH often, however, no cause is found. Many Dr. Paul are discovered just as Donohue yours was â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a brain â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; scan is taken for some unrelated reason. Most people your age live in peace with their meningiomas. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exhibit any symptoms. Standard treatment involves having another scan in three to six months to see if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing. If it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, it can be followed with annual scans. If the tumor causes symptoms, then a quite different approach has to be taken. Dear Dr. Donohue: My 11-monthold grandson bangs his head against
the crib. It scares my husband and me. My husband grabs the baby and tries to get him to calm down. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both afraid he could damage his brain. My daughter has taken him to the doctor and told the doctor that the baby is doing this. He told her this is quite normal and not to worry about it. We still worry. I had eight children, and none of them banged their heads. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; R.B. Head-banging begins around 6 months of age and can last until the child is 2 or 3. Only the baby knows for sure why he is doing it, but the explanations for this behavior are many. One is that it furnishes comfort, like a blanket does for many other babies. The little boy isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to hurt his head or his brain. Although the racket is disturbing, the infant hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the strength to do any harm. The babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents can pad the sides of the crib to quiet everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nerves.

their medical treatments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and hoping what we did could maybe change attitudes toward the environment and how important it is.â&#x20AC;? The Healing Seekers mission is twofold â&#x20AC;&#x201C; part research and part education. The research mission is to bring back plant species that could lead to new treatments and cures for various diseases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now we have about 40 plant extracts that are at UNC-Chapel Hill,â&#x20AC;? Greeson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scientists are analyzing those for potential activity against cancer and AIDS.â&#x20AC;? The educational component, Greeson continues, is designed to bring a new type of learning to schoolchildren through a series of Healing Seekers videos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want them to explore the world and see things differently
than theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen them before,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also want them to look within themselves and find their own passions and desires. By finding their own passions, they can find their own path in the world. Once they find that path â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and have that passion backing it up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then they can contribute to the world in ways they never dreamed. We want to stimulate that desire to learn.â&#x20AC;? The Healing Seekers mission, while noble, comes at a steep cost for a nonprofit organization. The cost to send a small team on an expedition to, say, Madagascar can be as high as $100,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that mostly just covers transportation and the cost of guides and interpreters. The upcoming trip to New Guinea likely will cost about $120,000, Greeson estimates.
To that end, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the process of applying for grants and other funding sources. Healing Seekers also will host a fundraiser Tuesday evening that will feature guest speaker Celine Cousteau, granddaughter of the famed undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau. Greeson will also discuss the Healing Seekers mission and will debut the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest educational video, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Circle of Life.â&#x20AC;? Tickets are $50 apiece, but the ultimate payoff could be tremendous, Greeson says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing could lead to finding new treatments and cures,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to look, though, because I know the answers are out there.â&#x20AC;? jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579
SSI monthly payment can vary SOCIAL SECURITY --Q
I just found out I qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). How much will I receive in SSI benefits?
A. SSI is a needsbased program. The benefit amount depends, in part, on other income and resources you might have. The maximum federal SSI payment nationwide throughout 2010 for an eligible individual is $674 a month, and for an eligible couple is $1,011 a month. The amount of your SSI benefit also depends, in part, on where you live. Some states add money to the federal payment. Learn more by visiting our library of SSI publications at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/index. html#SSI. Q. I noticed on my
annual statement that my date of birth in Social Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s records is wrong. How do I get that corrected? A. To change the date of birth shown on our records you can take the following steps: â&#x20AC;˘ Complete an Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5); and â&#x20AC;˘ Show us documents proving: â&#x20AC;˘ U.S. citizenship or legal noncitizenship status (if you have not previously established your citizenship status with us); â&#x20AC;˘ Age; and â&#x20AC;˘ Identity.

Are canned foods causing hyperthyroidism?
D
ear Dr. Fox: Over many years, I have had four cats that have developed hyperthyroidism after about 12 years and died. My vet says that no one knows the cause, which seems illogical to me. So I did my own survey of pet owners and found that cats fed only dry food did not develop this disease. I switched to only dry food and then went online and found much of this disease is attributed to chemicals from the plastic lining in cans. What is your thinking? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; P.O., St. Louis Dear P.O.: I know of no reports in veterinary literature that indicate cats fed only dry food do not get hyperthyroidism. Other than the documented problems of endocrine-disrupting chemicals like bisphenol-A (BPA) on the inner lining of cans, there are potentially more potent sources of harmful chemicals that can damage the thyroid gland, other endocrine organs and the immune system. These include dioxins and PCBs in animal fat and the bromides (which interfere with iodide uptake essential for normal thyroid function) in fire-retardant chemicals. The latter reside in most homes and in seafood. Bisphenols and phthalates are in plastic food and beverage containers that are polluting the oceans and, therefore, seafood worldwide. Petfood manufacturers are phasing out the use of cans lined with the epoxy compound containing BPA. Dear Dr. Fox: My question is about the psychology of dogs and,
maybe more importantly, the psychology of their owners. It specifiANIMAL cally has to do with DOCTOR what we might Dr. Michael call the Fox endlessly â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; yapping dog. From my personal experience, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite common. Why do certain dog owners put their dog (usually a small breed) outside in the yard, then go inside, leaving the dog to bark outside for hours on end? As a dog owner and dog lover for years, it is my thinking that this is unnatural on the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part and crazy on the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; E.S., Dover Plains, N.Y. Dear E.S.: I agree that constant yapping is â&#x20AC;&#x153;unnatural on the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part and crazy on the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part.â&#x20AC;? Small breeds tend to be super-yappers, which is partly due to being overindulged and misunderstood. In essence, they never grow up, acting like perpetual puppies constantly seeking and receiving attention. Their yapping is reinforced/rewarded by many owners always picking them up when they bark for attention or by giving them a treat to shut them up; the dogs are training their owners. All dogs need to be treated like dogs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with respect and understanding of dog behavior and psychology, as per my book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dog Body, Dog Mind.â&#x20AC;? Dogs â&#x20AC;&#x153;mindâ&#x20AC;? when they are understood and are treated properly.

In search of your family tree Salt Lake City is a good starting place BY JENNIFER DOBNER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
S
ALT LAKE CITY – When Jan Gow makes her annual pilgrimage from New Zealand to Salt Lake City, it’s not to enjoy Utah’s ski resorts, red rock canyons or five national parks. It’s for the ribbons of microfilm and endless volumes of maps, cemetery and property records tucked inside the Family History Library. The library, owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 1894, is visited by some 700,000 people annually and is widely considered the world’s largest repository of genealogy records. It’s a favorite destination for “genealogy tourists” – a devoted breed of traveler bent on tracing family trees. “A woman once asked me to give her four words to explain why she should come to Salt Lake City and not just research it all from home online,” said Gow, 70, of Auckland, who first came here in 1981 and has returned more than 25 times. “I could think of one: Immediacy,” said Gow. “When we’re here we can immediately pull out a film, or pull out a book, look at a computer, because it’s all here. There’s nowhere else, just nowhere else.” The Family History Library’s catalog of resources – free for use by church members and nonmembers alike – includes more than 2 billion names of deceased persons, 2.2 million rolls of microfilm, 300,000 books and 4,500 periodicals. These resources make the library a “must visit” destination for anyone who does genealogical work, said Jan Alpert, who heads the board of the 10,000-member National Genealogical Society. In April, NGS held its annual convention here and drew a record attendance of more than 2,600, she said. But it’s also far from the only place to go, Alpert said. “In addition to the National Archives in Washington D.C. and its regional archives across the United States, there are a number of exceptional genealogical collections across the country including the Library of Michigan in Lansing,” said Alpert. Also on Alpert’s list is the Allen County Public Library of Fort Wayne, Ind., where the collection of some 10,000 digital volumes includes extensive military history records, along with Native American and African American records. The library markets extensively to historical societies and other genealogy groups. “We’re always featured in the convention and visitors bureau guide,” said Curt Witcher, the library’s

Erin Hunt of Taylorsville, Utah, looks through Irish land records with Family History Library staffer Mark Gardner at the Mormon church-owned library in Salt Lake City. Annually, some 700,000 people visit the library, widely considered the world’s largest repository of genealogy records. senior manager of special collections. “About 90 percent of our patrons are from out of our county.” And visitors tend to return. “People have fun here, and they are successful,” Witcher said. That Fort Wayne and Salt Lake City are not exotic destinations isn’t important, said Carla Santos, an assistant professor of tourism at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, whose study of genealogy tourists at the Allen County library was published in the Journal of Travel Research. The study found genealogy tourists considered travel destinations secondary to their trip’s goal of collecting information. “What that tells us is that genealogy tourism is not area-specific,” said Santos. “So technically then, every community has something to offer because everyone has a family story that connects them to somewhere.” Many communities and some countries have recognized the genealogy draw. Tourism bureaus in England, Ireland and Scotland, for example, all credit genealogy research opportunities as being important stimuli for international travel, Santos said. Back in Salt Lake City, Richard Williams, who manages the Plaza Hotel, said genealogy tourists have been a focus of marketing efforts since the 1980s. Hotel representa-

National Genealogical Society, Washington, D.C.: www.ngsgenealogy.org/ Family History Library, Salt Lake City: www. familysearch.org Allen County Public Library, Fort Wayne, Ind.: www.acpl.lib.in.us/ tives attend at least six genealogy conferences each year. At least a half-dozen genealogy tour groups return to Salt Lake City annually, he said. Gow leads a tour to Utah each year for stays of up to three weeks before heading on to the United Kingdom. This year, the trip cost each traveler about $8,000, she said. “I can tell you that genealogy is a quarter of our business, maybe more,” said Williams, whose 150-room property is close to the downtown library. “The down economy has hit us a little bit, but our genealogy business has been steady. Some of the groups were not as strong in numbers, but they still came.” Interest in genealogy Web sites is also high. Of an estimated 800 million
Internet users in the U.S. and Europe, roughly 15 percent had visited a genealogy-related website, according to a 2005 report from Nielsen/NetRatings found that About 8 percent of those users, or about 56 million, were in the U.S., according to the data. Web hits to FamilySearch.org and Ancestry. com, two of the largest online databases, are also climbing. Ancestry’s annual report showed a 26 percent increase in subscribers – to 1.2 million – between March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010. And FamilySearch, an extension of the Mormon church and its library, now has more than a million registered users, with more than 10 million Web page hits daily, according to data from Paul Nauta, spokesman for the Family History Library. Alpert partly credits the surge in interest to the recent television shows “Faces of America” on PBS and NBC’s “Who Do You Think You Are?” – featuring celebrities discovering their family trees with the help of trained genealogists. The NBC show drew about 6.5 million viewers per episode. “These shows are wonderful because they

are hitting an emotional nerve and that’s what’s getting people excited about family history,” said Alpert, who has been working on her family tree for 30 years and has crisscrossed the country looking for documents and other clues. “When you know what your ancestors went through, you have a much greater appreciation perhaps for why you are the person you are.” Some research can be done online from home, but Gow, who heads the New Zealand Genealogical Society, said there’s
no substitute for packing your suitcase and seeking out your ancestral home. “To walk down the aisle of the church where you know your family ancestors were married, that’s really something special,” said Gow, who has traced her family to the 14th century and claims both Charles Darwin and William the Conqueror as distant relatives. “To walk through villages and sometimes you’re able to find their homes ... just even to see their headstones in the graveyard is really something.”

Rewards can be useful way to influence children
Dr. Dobson: No more than a factory supervisor manipulates his employees by docking their pay if they arrive late. No more than a policeman manipulates a speeding driver by giving him a traffic ticket. No more than an insurance company manipulates that same driver by increasing his premium. No more than the IRS manipulates a taxpayer who files his return one day late by charging a penalty for his tardiness. The word manipulation implies a sinister or selfish motive of the one in charge. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree. Question: When would you not recommend the use of rewards? Dr. Dobson: Rewards should never be used as a payoff to a child for not disobeying. That becomes a bribe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a substitute for authority. For example, Mom is having trouble controlling her 3-year-old in a supermarket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come here, Pamela,â&#x20AC;? she says, but the youngster screams, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No!â&#x20AC;? and runs the other way. Then in exasperation Mom offers Pam a sucker if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come quickly. Rather than rewarding obedience, Mom has actually reinforced the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defiance. Another misuse of rewards is to pay a child for doing the routine jobs that are his responsibility as a member of the family. Taking out the trash and making his bed
might be included in those regular duties. But when he is asked to spend FOCUS half his Saturday ON THE cleaning FAMILY the garage or weedDr. James ing the Dobson garden, it â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; seems very appropriate to make it worth his time. Question: I worry about putting undue emphasis on materialism with my kids. Do rewards have to be in the form of money or toys? Dr. Dobson: Certainly not. A word of praise is a great enticement to some children. An interesting snack can also get their attention, although that has its downside. When my daughter was three years of age, I began to teach her some prereading skills, including how to recognize the letters of the alphabet. By planning the training sessions to occur after dinner each evening, bits of chocolate candy provided the chief source of motivation. (I was less concerned about the effects of excess sugar consumption in those days than I am now.) Late one afternoon I was sitting on the floor drilling her on several new letters when a tremendous crash shook the neighborhood. The whole family rushed outside to see what had happened. A teenager had overturned his car on our quiet residential street. He was not badly hurt, but his automobile was a mess. We sprayed the smolder-

chin, nose and forehead. When she saw me coming, she managed to jam another handful into her chipmunk cheeks. From this experience, I learned one of the limitations of using material, or at least edible, rewards. Anything the child wants can be used as a reinforcer, from praise to pizza to playtime.
ing car with water and called the police. It was not until the excitement passed that we realized our daughter had not followed us out of the house. I returned to the den where I found her elbow-deep in the large bag of candy I had left behind. She must have put a half-pound of chocolate in her mouth, and most of the remainder was distributed around her
Question: I really be-

Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., greets supporters as her husband Steve (left) watches as the senator claimed victory in the Democratic primary runoff election in Little Rock, Ark., Tuesday.
Setup for fall November themes rattle primary politics BY RON FOURNIER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
WASHINGTON — The subplots abounded Tuesday night: Antipathy toward elected officials and the establishment. The power of special interests. Tests of party purity. The tea party. The quixotic fight against hyper-partisanship. Each of these narratives, any one of them a powerful story line on its own, came together on the busiest day of the primary season, a concentrated preview of November’s midterm elections. And each was a result or a cause of the single most defining trait of the U.S. political landscape: A dispirited public is demanding change. Again.
SPECIAL INTERESTS Sen. Blanche Lincoln, a centrist from Arkansas, defied an antiincumbent boomlet by winning a runoff against a primary opponent backed by labor groups. Unions spent millions of dollars against Lincoln in a failed attempt to send a signal to other not-so-friendly Democrats. Lincoln’s comeback strategy was twofold: She took the antiincumbent mood head on — “I know you’re angry at Washington,” she said in one ad — while making out-of-state unions a political boogeyman more scary than even, well, a Washington incumbent. These outsiders, she said, “try to tell us who we are and buy our votes.” Former President Bill Clinton, still popular in his home state, especially among black voters, echoed Lincoln’s messages. With Clinton and Arkansas business leaders behind Lincoln, the race became a fight between the state’s establishment (Lincoln, Clinton and the Chamber of
Commerce) and the Washington establishment (unions). Washington lost. There were numerous candidates — incumbents and challengers, Republicans and Democrats — whose races were influenced by outside groups who acted independently from the campaigns. Such freelancing can overwhelm the candidates’ own message, and it gives voters more pause about the political system.
ANTI-EVERYTHING In addition to Lincoln, one other congressional incumbent faced a stiff challenge Tuesday night: Rep. Bob Inglis, R-S.C. Inglis fell far behind his primary challenger and was forced into a runoff after a race centered around the incumbent’s support for the 2008 financial bailout. He’s not the first incumbent haunted by that vote. Nevada voters tossed Gov. Jim Gibbons from office after a tumultuous term that was marred by a bitter divorce and allegations of infidelities. Less than one-third of Americans say they are inclined to support their House representative in November, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, a level lower than in 1994, when Democrats lost control of the House after 40 years in power. Four incumbents lost seats earlier this spring: Sens. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, and Arlen Specter, D-Pa., and Reps. Alan Mollohan, D-W.Va., and Parker Griffith, RAla. Political neophytes were the rage again Tuesday, winning from California to New Jersey. An unemployed military veteran stunned South Carolina Democratic Party leaders by winning the nomination to challenge Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint.
PARTISANSHIP Primary voters are punishing candidates who cooperate with the opposing party. Specter was one of the Senate’s best-known moderates. Republican activists ended Bennett’s career because he had worked with a Democrat on a health care bill that went no-

Nikki Haley waves with her family in Columbia, S.C. during an election night gathering on Tuesday. Haley brushed aside unproven accusations of extramarital affairs to win a spot in a runoff Tuesday for the GOP nomination for governor, nearly winning the nomination outright in a bid to become the first woman to hold the office. where. Lincoln avoided that fate. Inglis was punished. Voters tell pollsters that partisanship and gridlock are among the reasons they despise Washington. California voters sought to tackle the problem by approving an initiative to scrap the primary system for state and congressional elections. Supporters say the change will benefit moderates who often stumble in highly partisan primaries. Party leaders oppose the idea — no surprise — because they fear a loss of clout.
TEA PARTY It was an uneven performance for the loose coalition of conservative and disenchanted voters called a tea party. Movement candidates won in Nevada, South Carolina, Georgia and Maine. But in Virginia, three tea party congressional candidates lost. The Washington Post-ABC News poll showed the percentage of Americans who hold an unfavorable view of the movement
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
has jumped from 39 percent in March to 50 percent. It’s not that voters are any happier than they were three months ago. Perhaps some are starting to view the tea party — and its controversial candidates — as something else not to like about politics. Less than two years ago, voters sought to pull the country in a dramatically different direction by electing a young, inexperienced president who promised to change politics. Despite a deep economic recession, the percentage of people who believed the country was headed in the right direction skyrocketed. Barack Obama’s job approval numbers soared. The bloom is off that rose. While Obama’s ratings are fairly steady now — his job approval hovers around 50 percent — a vast majority believe the country is on the wrong track. Only 22 percent of Americans say they trust the government in Washington, according to Pew Research Center.
Blaming political parties for California’s dysfunction, voters have replaced their partisan primary, but there’s no guarantee it will change government. The passage of Proposition 14 Tuesday gives the nation’s most populous state an open primary where voters can cast ballots for any candidate. “Californians hate their state’s politics and they are looking for measures to change it,” said Jack Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College. But it’s doubtful Proposition 14 will be the panacea to political stalemate in Sacramento, Pitney added. Democrats will likely continue representing liberal regions of the state, with Republicans elected in the fewer Republican areas. One of five measures on the ballot, Proposition 14 was backed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has long argued that centrist candidates rarely win primaries dominated by party activists. Despite their willingness to reform primaries, voters rejected Proposition 15, a measure to experiment with public funding of political campaigns.

“FINAL ADVICE” By JOHN LAMPKIN

A Brown Pelican is seen on the beach at East Grand Terre Island along the Louisiana coast after being drenched in oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill June 3. The Environmental Protection Agency has not yet fined BP for the Gulf oil spill – details of possible penalties will be worked out later.
Trinity resident has question answered THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
What ever happened to that vacuum system – promoted by Kevin Costner – that might be able to collect oil from the Gulf of Mexico? Curiosity about how the testing of the system is going inspired 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.

I’ve recently read that the International Monetary Fund is bailing out Greece. Where does the IMF get its loan money, and is any of it from American taxpayers? James Smith Fayetteville, Ark. A. The International Monetary Fund gets the bulk of its loan money from its member countries. It operates essentially like a global credit union – member countries pay into the IMF when they join, and the IMF taps those resources supplied by the 186 countries when it needs to provide loans to a country facing economic difficulties.
When a country joins the IMF it is assessed a “quota” that is broadly based on its relative size in the world economy. A country normally pays one-fourth of that quota in the form of a widely accepted foreign currency such as the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen or the British pound. The remaining threequarters of its quota can be paid in the country’s own currency. It is primarily from these quotas that the IMF gets the resources to make loans to countries in trouble, although it can also tap other resources, such as special borrowing arrangements it maintains with wealthy nations, including the United States. The U.S., as the world’s largest economy, is the biggest contributor to the IMF with a quota of 17.09 percent. That support totals around $54.8 billion at the current exchange rate for the dollar. That is the size of the contribution the United States has made to the IMF that the agency can draw upon to support its various loan programs. The second-largest contribution comes from Japan, the world’s second largest economy, with a quota of 6.12 percent. The quota percentage roughly represents the size of the contribution the U.S. makes to various IMF programs, including the IMF’s emergency loans such as the one to Greece. The IMF’s three-year loan to Greece totals 30 billion euros, roughly
$39 billion. It is part of a total support package for Greece of 110 billion euros or about $145 billion. The biggest part of the support is being provided by the 15 other nations that, along with Greece, share the euro currency. Marty Crutsinger AP Economics Writer Washington

Q. Has BP tested Kevin Costner’s vacuum system yet and what was the outcome? I haven’t seen anything on it for a couple of weeks and BP was going to test it a couple of weeks ago. Wilkes Price Trinity, N.C. A. BP agreed last month to test devices promoted by Kevin Costner that essentially would vacuum up the oil. Costner’s company, Ocean Therapy Solutions, has been testing the machines onshore using samples provided by BP, according to CEO John Houghtaling. In recent days, the company has been outfitting the machines to prepare them to handle the deep waters of the Gulf. Testing of the equipment on the water was expected to begin soon. Costner has invested more than $24 million to develop centrifuge devices designed to clean water polluted by oil. Houghtaling, his business partner, 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.

Bogus checks can complicate lives of recipients BY TOM JOYCE MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS
MOUNT AIRY – Most people might be happy to get a check for $4,600 out of the clear blue, but Mount Airy police say such a “gift” can wind up being a costly proposition for the recipient. Judy Reed of Mount Airy received such a
check recently, which was accompanied by a letter informing her that she had won a “guaranteed sum” of $500,000. The $4,600 check was issued in Reed’s name to cover taxes for the winnings, which can’t be paid until the tax bill is settled, the letter states. This scenario has all the earmarks of a frequent scam involving the issuance of checks to
unsuspecting consumers, said Lt. Jim Armbrister of the Mount Airy Police Department. Armbrister said that such scams require the recipient to submit an administrative fee or other charge to the issuer. “It’s amazing that people will let themselves be taken, and the motivation for it is just greed,” Armbrister said.
‘Donut hole’ Medicare payments start arriving BY SUE BOOK MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS
NEW BERN – One time, tax-free rebate checks for seniors who fall into the Medicare Part D “donut hole” began going out last week. The $250 checks go to 80,000 seniors in the first mailing, one of the first tangible results of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for health care reform passed by Congress on March 21 and signed
into law March 23. “This is an important first step toward closing the Medicare donut hole,” said Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-1st. The gap will be gradually closed through 2020. An estimated 8 million of the 25 million Medicare Part D beneficiaries have prescription costs that push them into the space not covered by Medicaid. They would then have to pay for $3,610 in prescription drug costs before cover-
age kicks in again. A typical senior who hits the donut hole is expected to save more than $700 in 2011. Among them are 1,460,593 North Carolinians, according to numbers provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Most Medicare prescription drug plans have a coverage gap that begins when the total retail cost of drugs – not the out-of-pocket cost –used by a covered individual reaches $2,830.

Clay Aiken finds comfort in old songs, new life BY MARTHA WAGGONER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
R
ALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For Clay Aiken, life now is about being comfortable, from the songs he sings to the life he lives. Aikenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently-released CD, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tried and True,â&#x20AC;? is a collection of 13 songs from the 1950s and 1960s, all of which predate the 31-year-old Aiken. But Aiken feels intimately familiar with the music that he heard as a child, while riding in the car with his mother. The songs, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mack the Knife,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unchained Melodyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moon River,â&#x20AC;? are not merely standards, but songs Aiken wants to sing live. And since many singers make their bread and butter from touring these days, Aiken says he never wants to record another song that he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perform live in concert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are certain songs Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve
recorded that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never sung since the studio,â&#x20AC;? says Aiken, who starts a tour in July with good friend Ruben Studdard, to whom he came in second on â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? in
The cover for his new album features a different look for Aiken: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pictured with slicked-back blonde hair, not his usual red. 2003. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So every song on this album is a song that I enjoy singing and love doing live.â&#x20AC;? The cover for the album features a different look for Aiken: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pictured with slicked-back blonde hair, not his usual red, in
a photo that harkens another era. Still, there is something comfortable about it: Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sitting in a well-known restaurant in Raleigh, where he grew up (he lives in an area nearby). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted everything to be about being at home,â&#x20AC;? says Aiken â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his hair back to red â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as he sits beside his mother, Faye Parker, at her home in Raleigh. Aiken is equally comfortable talking about his sexuality as he is about his music. He came out in September 2008 after the birth of his son, Parker, who was born through in-vitro fertilization to a friend, Jaymes Foster. His newly redesigned Web site still has promotions for his favorite projects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; UNICEF and The Inclusion Project. But now it also includes GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, which focuses on safe schools for all students.

nieâ&#x20AC;? comic strip, debuted in 1977. Producer Arielle Tepper Madover said last week sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acquired production rights to the play that sparked a childhood interest in theater.

‘Sesame Street’ games first-ever to cover Wii Remote buttons

OS ANGELES (AP) – T is for too many buttons. The first-ever Wii video games based on the venerable “Sesame Street” franchise will come packaged with an unprecedented doodad: a cover that hides buttons on the Wii Remote. The games’ producers insist the plush covers, which will look like either Elmo or Cookie Monster, will make the Nintendo controller less confusing for younger players. “This is the first time anything like this has been developed and

We’re doing it so that preschoolers can play and learn from these ‘Sesame Street’ games without feeling frustrated with the controller.” Chambers said the soft, fuzzy “gameplay helpers” for “Elmo’s A-to-Zoo Adventure” and “Cookie’s Counting Carnival,” both slated to be simultaneously released this fall, will cover about 80 percent of the controller and won’t cost extra.

The handheld versions of the games will come with a larger stylus designed for smaller hands that aims to simplify interaction with the Nintendo DS’ touch screen. Chambers said the new pair of “Sesame Street” games, which will also be available for the PC, have been designed so that 3-to-5-year-olds can play with minimal involvement from parents. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment signed a deal with Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization which produces “Sesame Street” in over 140 countries, to create and
publish a series of games for various platforms based on the 40-year-old children’s series starring Big Bird, Elmo, Grover and all their neighborhood pals. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is the division of Time Warner Inc.’s Warner Bros. responsible for publishing games based on such franchises as Looney Tunes and DC Comics, as well as movies like “Where the Wild Things Are” and “Terminator Salvation.” They have also released original games, such as last year’s “Scribblenauts” for the Nintendo DS.
