Demolished homes hold childhood memories BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GREEK VILLAGE
–
HIGH POINT – Woodrow Avenue is a big part of William Robertson’s childhood memories. It was where he sledded in the winter and played hide-and-seek with neighborhood friends in the summer. His grandparents lived next door and across the street from the High Point University campus. All those childhood memories came flooding back Wednesday as Robertson watched firefighters demolish a house he left in 1975. Robertson wanted to see if the modest house at 717 Woodrow Ave. would be burned down as an exercise for firefighters and to make way for a campus expansion. “I never thought the campus would grow this much, and especially this fast,” Robertson said. “I knew this was probably going to happen to these houses in the old neighborhood.” The High Point Fire Department selected four of the 26 condemned houses over two blocks for controlled burnings to train firefighters. The house at 717 Woodrow was spared from fire, but not the bulldozer.
The village will include 14 twostory buildings, each at 3,000 square feet. About 13 students will live in each house, creating room for 182 students, university officials said at a recent High Point City Council meeting. “Training is very important for firefighters,” said Donald A. Scarborough, HPU vice president for community relations. “This is a good opportunity for them to train and also for the police. There is nothing more important in our community than our emergency services. You want to make sure they know what to do when they get to an emergency.” The vacant property will be the home of a $15 million Greek Village for fraternity and sorority houses tentatively scheduled to open in 2011. “There will be 14 houses and other support buildings,” Scarborough said. The university received approval from High Point City Council in February to rezone the 10-acre area, bounded by Montlieu Avenue, North

HIGH POINT – Many seem to agree that man’s best friend deserves protection from abuse. They just are unsure how severe the punishment should be. The N.C. General Assembly currently is considering a law that would increase the penalties for abusing animals, making some types of cruelty cases a higher class of felony that would give judges discretion to impose jail time against offenders. The measure came about after a Greensboro man was convicted of beating and burning Susie, a pit bullshepherd mix, last year. The proposed law is being called “Susie’s Law” in honor of the abused dog.

SUSIE’S LAW
–
Susie’s law proposes to push animal cruelty to a Class F felony, allowing judges to issue prison time for offenders. Currently, the crime is the lowest-level felony, Class I, where a prison sentence is not an option and actually prevents judges from issuing stricter sentences. Chaining a dog in Guilford County is not illegal yet. Owners must adhere to certain rules: the tether must be at least 10 feet long with water, shelter and food within reach. A local tethering ordinance that’s being proposed by local animal rights activists would limit the amount of time a dog could be chained in hopes of preventing aggression and starvation for dogs.
activists are asking the High Point City Council to enact an ordinance that would limit the amount of time an animal can be tethered, saying excessive tethering breeds aggressive behavior in dogs. Janet Hart, 68, of High Point, shopping recently at

Residents weigh in on proposed pet laws BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

the Harris Teeter on Eastchester Drive, said she is not quite sure how to feel about the proposed law. “I think that if the ones we had were enforced more, that could be helpful,” Hart said. “New laws take more personnel and more money.” That’s not to say she does
not care about animal protection, however. “If it were possible to disallow a person who had abused an animal from ever having a pet again, I think that would be fitting,” Hart said. Residents shopping recently at Walmart on N. Main Street also expressed uncertainty of how effective the new laws could be. Mae Yelverton, 60, of High Point, said some circumstances can prevent individuals from caring properly for their pets. “An elderly couple might have trouble caring for their pet,” Yelverton said. “That would be a circumstance that might be tricky to judge.” Vong Vongparchan, 49, also of High Point, said she believes the laws are needed. “I have a puppy, my-

self,” Vongparchan said. “I couldn’t ever imagine hurting it.” As far as the tethering ordinance, Albert Blakely, 48, said he’s seen aggression in dogs growing. “I walk home from work and I see so many dogs chained up outside,” Blakely said. “They are more aggressive and bark at me as I go by.” Hart and Yelverton both agree tethering of dogs is wrong. “I don’t believe in tethering a dog,” Hart said. “If you can’t afford to keep them inside, you should get a bird or a fish.” Yelverton believes “tethering is like slavery or keeping someone caged. If you have an animal, it should be able to run free.” editor@hpe.com | 888-3637

Newsweek ranks Guilford schools ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – High Point Central High School was the highestranked city school in Newsweek magazine’s annual “Best High Schools” article that gave Grimsley High School a ranking of 78. Grimsley was the only Guilford County school to crack the magazine’s top 100 list of America’s Best High Schools by climbing from 119th on the 2009 list. Twelve of Guilford County’s schools were included in News-
week’s list. The list includes the top 6 percent of public schools in the country based on the Challenge Index, a measure of the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Cambridge tests taken divided by the number of graduating seniors in a school. The magazine’s annual list includes only schools that have an index of at least 1.000, which means students within a school took as many placement tests in a year as the school had graduates. The 2010 list is based on 2009
numbers. Central High was ranked 473rd, Ragsdale High 685th, Southwest 708th and T.W. Andrews 953rd. The Early College at Guilford did not make the list this year. The school ranked 19th on the Best list last year. Newsweek moved the school to the list of 21 elite schools in the country. The Early College is North Carolina’s first early college high school. The school offers a writing intensive, fast-paced curriculum in partnership with Guilford College.
CVB reports second sales increase BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau reported its second consecutive yearto-year sales increase at its monthly meeting Wednesday, though the organization’s total revenue is still down for the year. HPCVB sales, which are derived from the city’s hotel room occupancy tax, were 14 percent higher than the same time last year. The first year-to-year sales in-
crease in the organization’s 2009-2010 fiscal year was reported at last month’s meeting when sales were 5 percent higher than the same time last year. Total revenue is still down $130,613 from last year. “All of us appreciate the upswing and hope that it continues,” said HPCVB treasurer Chris Greene, “but we are not in the positive (for the year).” A $1.16 million budget for HPCVB’s fiscal 2010-2011 year also was presented to its board at the meeting
and will go before the High Point City Council for approval. It is an 11 percent reduction from the current 2009-2010 budget. Sales manager Marva Wells announced that the North Atlantic Airsoft Exposition, which held its first show in High Point this year, would return to High Point next year. It will be held March 3-6 at Showplace and is estimated to bring 260 attendees while booking 130 hotel room nights in the city. The High Point Home &
Garden Design Exposition that’s held annually won’t be returning in November and will be postponed until next year, Wells said. The event usually draws 1,650 attendees and books 850 hotel room nights. “They had the idea to come back to us, but they are trying to go back to get some professional help (to organize the show),” she said. “They will probably come back to us next year.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617
Police make arrests in series of car break-ins ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – Police say that they have made arrests in a series of motor vehicle break-ins that happened in north High Point during the first part of this year. The High Point Police Department announced Wednesday that three young men from High Point were arrested and charged with multiple counts related to breaking and entering and stolen property. The arrests stem from an investigation dat-
ing from February into motor vehicle breakins, mainly at fitness centers and apartment complexes. “It appeared that the thieves were mostly after electrical devices such as GPS units, radar detectors and DVD players, but also took other items of value. Detectives had little to go on until they received a break in the early part of June,” according to a police department press release. The investigation covered more than 40
car break-ins. Sean Demetrius Brady, 21, and Brandon Ramone Howard, 22, were arrested on multiple counts of breaking and entering and larceny from motor vehicles, police report. Joseph Olayemi Oduntan, 21, also was charged with breaking and entering and larceny from motor vehicles, as well as burning of personal property. In addition to making the arrests, detectives obtained a search warrant for a residence on Westchester Drive
where they recovered a number of consumer electronic devices. Howard was in custody Wednesday at the High Point Jail under a $170,000 bond, Oduntan was in custody under a $27,500 bond and Brady was in custody under a $200,000 bond, according to police. Brady was released from prison May 19 after serving just more than two years in the State Department of Corrections for convictions on other motor vehicle break-ins, police report.

Triad prices 6.5 cents cheaper than last year FROM PAGE 1
more than in 2009. Prices in the Triad were 6.5 cents cheaper than last year, with the RaleighDurham-Chapel Hill area seeing a difference of 3.1 cents. However in Asheville, Fayetteville and Wilmington, prices remained higher. What is causing the downhill pricing of gas? “Statewide prices have been falling since May 7 this year when the European financial crisis began devaluing the euro
and strengthening the dollar,” said David E. Parsons, president and CEO of AAA Carolinas in a press release. With traveling increasing in the coming months with vacations and holidays, it remains hard to predict exactly which direction gas prices will head. “Prices might start creeping up in anticipation for July Fourth,” said Brendan Byrnes, a spokesman for AAA
ACCURACY...
In the next two weeks, it’s not likely Triad residents will see more record-breaking numbers. “Gas prices are likely to stabilize within the coming days,” Byrnes said. “It’s not likely that the prices will continue to dip down.” One ray of hope for motorists is that prices probably will not hit that $3 mark in the coming summer months. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

Carolinas. “But then again, prices could stay stable. It’s extremely hard to predict.” Byrnes spoke of Germany’s reported increase in industrial production being an improvement in the financial crisis, but troubles continue to mount in Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain. “If gains are more positive in Europe, oil will become more expensive,” Byrnes added.

Hospital touts health campaign BY JORDAN HOWSE ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – With the summer beach and pool season upon us, what better time to shed some pounds? And High Point Regional Health System can help. The “Get Healthy High Point” campaign is under way this week. The 12-week program, based at The Fitness Center at High Point Regional Health System, is an educational program that helps people make healthy lifestyle choices that lead to healthy body weight. The “Summer Slim Down” challenge begins June 21 and ends Sept. 6. Individuals who commit to do at least 20 minutes of physical activity per day for five days of each week and eat at least one fruit or vegetable each day of the week will receive a Get Healthy High Point T-shirt at the end of the challenge in September. Weigh-ins are being conducted at The Fitness Center this week through Friday. Weigh-in times are 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., noon to 1 p.m., and 5 to 6 p.m. There also will be two chances to weigh in on Saturday: 7:30 to 8:30 a.m.. and noon to 1 p.m. Bob Forman, manager of the Fitness Center, said last year was a successful campaign. “More than 600 people registered last year, and 52 percent came back for the post-weigh in,” Forman said. “Participants lost more than 1,400 pounds and we hope to lose 1,600 more this year.” The weight loss is cumulative, so the campaign hopes to be put over the 3,000-pound mark with this year’s participants. “Given the prevalence of the number of people overweight and obese in Guilford County and across the country, we are taking time to provide an opportunity to educate people and motivate them

to lose weight as a part of the High Point team,” Forman said. Forman said there is a strong correlation between being overweight and chronic diseases such as heart disease and respiratory disorders. He said he wants to teach people the ways to manage their chronic diseases and what to do to prevent them. Some seemingly small choices that promote a healthy lifestyle, according to the HPRHS website, are fruits and vegetables for snacks instead of junk food, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and cooking healthier meals for the family instead of takeout. The Fitness Center’s goal is to continue the campaign every summer. Forman said he hopes each one that is offered will get more people to sign up and lose thousands of pounds as a city. “The challenge is open to anyone who lives or works in High Point,” Forman said. “We want to help people learn to live a healthy lifestyle and reinforce the people that already have healthy habits.” editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

Bomb kills Sunni militia leader near Baghdad BAGHDAD – The leader of a government-backed Sunni militia was killed in a bombing west of Baghdad Wednesday, one in a series of attacks targeting Iraqi security forces and their allies. The bomb that killed local Awakening Council leader Mohammed al-Hamdani and wounded a bodyguard was attached to a car and exploded in Hamdaniya, a village in the Abu Ghraib district, police and hospital officials said.
Floods near Riviera leave at least 19 dead DRAGUIGNAN, France – At least 19 people were killed in flash floods that hit the back hills of the French Riviera on Wednesday and turned streets into rivers of surging, muddy water, officials said. There was confusion about how many people were missing in the flooding that washed over picturesque towns and left them standing in meters of brown water, a press officer at the local Var region prefecture said. But probably at least 12 people were unaccounted for, the official said on condition of anonymity.
2 US service members killed in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan – A roadside bombing killed two U.S. service members in northern Afghanistan on Wednesday, officials said, pushing the death toll among American troops so far this month to 30. The attack occurred in the Baghi Shirkat area, about 19 miles west of Kunduz city, said Kunduz provincial government spokesman, Muhbobullah Sayedi.
Kyrgyz army tries to get control in riot-hit city OSH, Kyrgyzstan – Kyrgyzstan’s weak military attempted Wednesday to regain control of the city of Osh, a major transit point for Afghan heroin and the epicenter of ethnic violence that has driven much of the Uzbek population from the country’s poor, rural south. Troops encircled the city with checkpoints and held the central square, but citizens reported that some soldiers also were looting food aid, casting doubt on the government’s ability to re-establish stability after nearly a week of brutal attacks.
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Defying week-old U.N. sanctions over its nuclear program, Iran promised to expand its atomic research Wednesday as its president vowed to punish the West and force it to “sit at the negotiating table like a polite child� before agreeing to further talks. Tehran, which insists its nuclear work is peaceful, said it will build four new reactors for atomic medical research. The U.S. and some of its allies believe Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, and the Islamic Republic’s plans to expand research could encourage calls in the West for more economic pressure against the country. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran will not make “one iota of concessions.� He said he will soon announce new conditions for talks with the West, but first he wants to punish world powers for imposing sanctions. “You showed bad temper, reneged on your promise and again resorted to devilish manners,� he said of those powers. “We set conditions (for talks) so that, AP God willing, you’ll be punished In front of a portrait of the Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a bit and sit at the negotiating President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gestures while speaking during a public table like a polite child,� he told a gathering in his provincial tour at the city of Shahr-e-Kord, 325 miles south crowd during a visit to the central Iranian town of Shahr-e-Kord. of the capital Tehran, Iran, Wednesday.

American on US no-fly list stranded in Egypt CAIRO – A man said Wednesday he has been stuck in limbo in Egypt for the last six weeks, living in a cheap hotel and surviving on fast food after his name was placed on a U.S. no-fly list because of a trip to Yemen. Yahya Wehelie, a 26-year-old Muslim who was born in Fairfax, Virginia to Somali parents, said he spent 18 months studying in Yemen and left in early May. The U.S. has been scrutinizing citizens who study in Yemen more closely since the man who tried to blow up a U.S.-bound airliner on Christmas was linked to an al-Qaida offshoot in Yemen.
$300M to cope with Agent Orange in Vietnam HANOI, Vietnam – Thirty-five years after the Vietnam War, a $300 million price tag has been placed on the most contentious legacy still tainting U.S.-Vietnam relations: Agent Orange. A joint panel of U.S. and Vietnamese policymakers, citizens and scientists released an action plan Wednesday, urging the U.S. government and other donors to provide an estimated $30 million annually over 10 years to clean up sites still contaminated by dioxin, a toxic chemical used in the defoliant.
JERUSALEM (AP) – Israel is likely to significantly ease the land blockade of Gaza in coming days in an effort to blunt the international outcry over its deadly raid on a blockade-busting flotilla, officials said Wednesday. Israel has been scrambling to find ways to ease the embargo and its own growing international isolation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened senior ministers and security officials to discuss changes but they failed
to reach a decision. They are now expected to vote today, said a meetNetanyahu ing participant. Officials said Israel is expected to greatly ease what gets into Gaza through land crossings. However, the naval blockade that was at the root of the May 31 raid will remain intact because Israel wants to ensure weapons can’t be shipped into Gaza.

KHAR, Pakistan – Paramilitary soldiers conducting a major operation in northwestern Pakistan engaged Taliban militants in fierce fighting that killed 10 soldiers and at least three dozen insurgents Wednesday, officials said. The clashes took place in Bajur, a tribal area where the military has twice declared victory following big offensives but attacks blamed on militants continue. The persistent violence illustrates how difficult it is to pacify Pakistan’s rugged Afghan border area.

Applause broke out during a community meeting in Orange Beach, Ala., on the news. “We asked for that two weeks ago and they laughed at us,� Mayor Tony Kennon said. “Thank you, President Obama, for taking a bunch of rednecks’ suggestion and making it happen.� Obama had said he would “make BP pay,� and the company’s chairman said after four hours of intense White House

for premenopausal women who report a lack of sexual desire, a market that drugmakers have been targeting for more than a decade since the blockbuster success of Viagra in men. The search for so-called “female Viagra� has proved elusive though, with many drugs abandoned after showing lackluster results.

‘Small people’ comment sparks anger VENICE, La. (AP) – The “small people� of the Gulf Coast have a humongous message for oil giant BP: They’re tired of the company’s bigtime executives making insensitive comments. On Wednesday, BP Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg told reporters in Washington: “I hear comments
sometimes that large oil companies are greedy companies or don’t care, but that is not the case with BP. We care about the small people.� Justin Taffinder of New Orleans was not amused. “We’re not small people. We’re human beings. They’re no greater than us. We don’t bow down to them. We

Our national debt continues to pile up It appears that more and more Americans are beginning to wake up to the fact that this nation is facing a difficult time ahead. There have been 81 bank failures so far this year. Three of them were June 4. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is millions in the hole and in danger itself of collapsing. Meanwhile, the national debt clock continues counting up and is now over $13 trillion. That is over 90 percent of America’s GDP

(gross domestic product). This spending, debt and coming round of mortgage readjustments are setting up a “perfect” storm which has the potential to devastate this wonderful country. There are some interesting articles on www. usawatchdog.com. If that’s not bad enough, the State Employees Association of North Carolina (claiming 55,000 members) is associated with the Service Employees International Union that is known for using intimidating tactics and having communist leanings. Don’t think so? On June 6, a political
director of a SEIU chapter was awarded the Amistad Award by the People’s World. The occasion? The 90th anniversary of the Communist Party USA (www.redstate. com). Want to see some of their latest tactics? Check out the article in Fortune Magazine by Nina Easton. She is the eye-witness neighbor of a Bank of America lobbyist who’s private property was “invaded” by SEIU protesters. His teenage son, home alone, was so scared he locked himself in the bathroom. Yeah, our state employees are starting to associate
themselves with a great crowd. The good news? Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father pleading on our behalf and is coming to put an end to this mess. Look to the sky! Redemption draws near! PERRY DAVIS High Point

Foundation puts arts money to good use

t obviously was a decision that High Point Community Foundation officials neither took lightly nor made quickly. The foundation has been holding $425,000 from the 1999 sale of the former Holt McPherson Center on N. Main Street (now known as Enterprise Center) that was earmarked for building a community arts center. Waiting 11 years before dispersing those funds for a somewhat different plan gave plenty of time to explore options. On Tuesday, the foundation board voted unanimously to release those funds to the High Point-based North Carolina Shakespeare Festival. The foundation money will be matched with funds donated by private individuals, most notably a $500,000 donation by Jim Millis Jr. and his wife, Debbie. According to Pedro Silva, the Shakespeare Festival’s managing director, the organization will use the $425,000 from the foundation, the half-million Millis gift and other private donations to retire most of what remains of the debts incurred in the $1.5 million purchase and renovation of its new headquarters. That new facility, called the Spirit Center, is located on W. Ward Avenue at W. Green Drive. The plan described by Silva surely seems to fulfill wishes of the former owners of the McPherson Center building, High Point’s Rawley and Terry families, when in 1980 they donated it for use by nonprofit groups. The 305 N. Main St. facility was home to The High Point Enterprise from its construction in 1935 until the newspaper moved to its present location in 1970. Also, the festival’s plan certainly fulfills wishes of the directors of the Enterprise Community Center Inc., who sold the building in 1999. Those directors had managed the facility after it was donated in 1980. The decision by the Community Foundation will result in this money immediately being put to good use instead of continuing to sit around waiting for the High Point Area Arts Council to build sufficient community support for its plans and dreams for a community arts center. The Arts Council has had plans and big dreams for a community arts center for years, but it just has not managed to build the local support necessary to accomplish them. It’s time to invest this money in a more productive way to stimulate the arts in High Point. To use this money to boost the Shakespeare Festival helps the festival finally reach a financially sound level that should result in its further growth and development. Additionally, this move puts High Point in a better light as the host city of the state’s premier Shakespeare organization. Continued growth and popularity of the festival, which this investment by the Community Foundation should spur, also will help draw more visitors to High Point from around the state. This is not to criticize the High Point Area Arts Council. It has a mission to generate support and raise funds for its affiliated arts groups. It should continue on with that mission, hopefully with increasingly more enthusiasm and support from the greater High Point community. It’s just that it is time, perhaps past time, to put this money to use today in the best way possible to boost the arts locally. And aiding growth and development of the Shakespeare Festival does just that.

Stunt was a voyage to almost certain death
A
nd now, a rebuttal from inside the cotton-wool tunnel. That, according to Laurence Sunderland, is the safe, heavily padded place where critics of him, his wife Marianne, and their 16-year-old daughter Abby live, cushioned from life’s dangers and risks. If the names sound familiar, there’s a reason. Abby Sunderland is the California girl whose attempt to become the youngest person to ever circumnavigate the globe ended in near tragedy when her boat became crippled by storms in the Indian Ocean. Laurence and Marianne are the parents who let her go. The girl was found and rescued last week, but her brush with disaster has earned her folks international reproach. A writer on a Los Angeles Times message board called them “moron parents.” A reader of The Herald Sun in Australia accused them of “child abuse and neglect.” But the Sunderlands are unrepentant. The issue, says Laurence Sunderland, a boat builder, is not his daughter’s age, but her competence; she has been sailing all her life. He sees his family – including teenage son Zac, who sailed the globe last year, as adventurers. “Sailing and life in general is dangerous,” he told the Associated Press. “Teenagers drive cars. Does that mean teenagers shouldn’t drive a car? I think people who hold that opinion have lost their zeal for life. They’re living in a cotton-wool tunnel to make everything safe.” But the hole in Sunderland’s logic is wide enough to sail a crippled boat through. Yes, driving is dangerous – though probably not as dangerous as sailing alone around the world. If you don’t take that relatively small risk, though, your ability to get from Point A to Point B and indeed, your very independence, are significantly compromised. There is a compelling reason to drive. There was no compelling reason for Abby’s voyage. She was hardly Ferdinand Magellan seeking a western route to the Spice Islands. Rather, she was a teenager from Thousand Oaks, Calif., whose parents allowed her to risk her life in search of a dubious and ultimately, meaningless, record. The effort to rescue her involved the
Australian Maritime Safety Authority, a search plane and a French fishing boat. According to Australian newspapers, this will cost taxpayers there hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not to mention OPINION the risk for the sailors who saved Abby; the French Leonard captain fell into the ocean Pitts and had to be rescued ■■■ himself. All that, and for what? Well, it will surprise no one to hear the Sunderlands were shopping a reality show. Laurence claims he pulled out of “Adventures in Sunderland” before Abby sailed, when it became clear he and the producers had dissimilar visions. He wanted an inspirational program celebrating a family of daredevils and risktakers; they wanted to chronicle what they saw as a family sending a daughter off to certain death. Cynical as they might have been, his erstwhile partners evidently had a clearer view of things than Sunderland did. There are obvious echoes here. Echoes of the Heene family whose balloon boy hoax last year was tied to a TV reality show proposal. And of Jessica Dubroff, who died in a crash at age 7 while attempting, before TV news cameras, to become the youngest pilot ever to fly across the country. The common thread? Parents narcissistic enough to believe they belonged on television and calculating enough to exploit their own children to get there. Perhaps that is only to be expected in an era where fame has become downsized and cheapened until it is a thing seemingly anyone can have if they are, or do something, outlandish enough. Laurence Sunderland surely qualifies. He sent his daughter to sea all alone for no good reason. But for the grace of God, she would be dead now. And the view from inside the cottonwool tunnel is looking better all the time. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Sometimes, dads can make a point without saying a word when my brother, Harold, and I were teenagers, my father not only wasn’t our best friend, it was the absolute last thing he needed to be. The Look was just part of him teaching me lessons about how you become an adult, and those lessons often came without pleasantries. The moment after I got The Look that afternoon, my attitude didn’t take long to change – The Look compelled me to change it before the next possession of the basketball game. I was so traumatized that I congratulated all the opposing players and coaches afterward – I probably would have congratulated the custodian if he walked by me. And I didn’t have a repeat of my behavior at games the rest of the season. My dad never said anything to me about The Look, since it had obviously had its desired effect. At the time, I wasn’t that happy about the experience. Now, with Father’s Day here again, it’s just one of countless lessons my father taught me that makes me realize how lucky I am – that he’s a best friend now, but wasn’t one then. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

currently first place Atlanta Braves (Go, Braves!), but when I think of salaries, that LESSONS is where I LEARNED think our society has Paula gone awry. Williams In 2006, the ■■■minimum salary for a MLB player was $380,000 and the average salary was $2.6 million. As of July 1, 2008, the average starting salary for a Greensboro firefighter was $31,415. Do you see the disparity? Those who play a game to entertain us are paid handsomely while those who stand ready to risk their lives to save ours in the event of a fire are paid little and then denied the chance for a raise – this year, at least, in Greensboro. I hope that changes before Greensboro’s final budget is approved. Last Sunday’s outstanding example of firefighting should speak loud and clear that the value of our firefighters is immeasurable. Of course, we could never pay them what they are worth, but let’s at least do right by those brave men and women. I recently overheard a shopper at Harris-Teeter thanking the firefighter in line ahead of her for the job he does. We should all follow her example. I don’t think for a minute that a firefighter’s motivation for doing his job is money, after all. So an expression of gratitude from the people he protects would mean a lot, I’m sure.

darted a glance at the referee to see if he would hand out a technical foul, which I deserved. The referee didn’t, and I thought I’d dodged fate. OPINION Then I turned and looked into the Paul B. crowd. Johnson My father was ■■■sitting there – and I saw The Look. My dad had seen what I’d done, and he was staring me down with a gaze that mixed simmering anger and barely controlled rage. The Look sent me a clear and convincing message from my dad – if you keep behaving like that during this basketball game, I’ll come down out of the bleachers in the middle of a play, walk out on the court, grab you buy the arm and haul you out of the gymnasium. You’ll never play organized basketball again and, until your attitude improves, you won’t play casual pickup games again. At that moment, my dad didn’t care about the score of the game, how many points or assists I had, how close we were to a Columbia church league title. He only cared about my behavior and future, that I needed to learn right then that public acts such as the one I’d just committed weren’t acceptable in any setting, and there would be consequences without fail if I continued the behavior. I like to tell people that my dad is one of my best friends in the world today, someone I call regularly and share a beer with while he’s grilling dinner at his retirement home in the western North Carolina mountains. But
he lightning strike at the Colonial Pipeline tank farm this past Sunday morning underscored the fact that something is awry with the value we place on professions in our modern society. The word that kept cropping up about the tank farm fire was unbelievable. Not only was the enormity of the fire unbelievable, but the response to it on the part of the Greensboro, High Point and surrounding fire departments as well as those from as far away as Charlotte and Spartanburg was truly unbelievable. What could have been a major disaster for our county was quickly contained. Why? It is because we have some of the most professional, dedicated and capable firefighters around right here in Guilford County. How ironic it is that their most recent training on containing fires out at the tank farm was just two weeks ago! The outstanding job they did Sunday was truly amazing, and that was with three other fires being contained in other areas of Greensboro – all at the same time as the tank fire! We all owe the firefighters who stand ready to protect us day and night a huge debt of gratitude! Yet the Greensboro City Council recently denied raises for their firefighters during budget talks. I know that every phase of government and the overall economy is in budgetary crisis, but there are some things that remain critical needs and for which we want the best and the brightest to respond. A fire is one of those things. I have long been a fan of Major League Baseball and particularly of the

O
f my lifetime of memories with my dad, one stands out among the most important – though at the time, it wasn’t the most pleasant. I simply call it The Look. I got The Look when I was a teenager. I wasn’t talented enough to make my high school basketball team in my hometown of Columbia, S.C., but that wasn’t any badge of hardcourt dishonor. After all, my sophomore year, my high school’s boys basketball team won the South Carolina state title, on the way defeating a crosstown rival squad that would feature future National Basketball Association stars Xavier McDaniel and Tyrone Corbin. So I ended up playing for a church team in a city league. During my junior year, my best friend, David Savage, and I started on the squad and helped lead the church to one of its best seasons. But we just couldn’t beat this one other talented team. One afternoon, we were playing them in a hard-fought game before a couple of hundred fans at a Methodist church gym (ironically across the street from my high school, whose team I couldn’t even survive through the first cut of basketball tryouts). I was guarding a player of the opposing team, and I forced him to dribble the ball off his leg around half court. Then I did something impetuous, driven by teenage testosterone and intense competition. I clapped my hands in derision in front of the opposing player’s face, an inexcusable act of mocking, unsportsmanlike behavior. I knew as soon as I did it that it was an idiotic move, and I

Tour de Kale kicks off BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
DENTON – Hundreds of runners and cyclists will flood the streets of Denton this weekend to take part in the 11th annual Tour de Kale fundraiser. Events will begin Friday night with a 5K run at Harrison Park and Saturday morning with bicycle races of 25, 60, 110 and 135 kilometers. Each bicycle ride will begin at the Denton FarmPark. The run, which will travel down N. Main Street, begins at Harrison Park. “It’s such a big event,” said Kale Watkins, an organizer of the event. “We had such a huge response and everybody liked it.” Tour de Kale was founded by friends of Watkins in 2000 to cover his medical expenses after a skiing accident that left him paralyzed. The event, which first raised $80,000 for Watkins, has continued ever since. Tour de Kale continues to raise more than $50,000 annually, according to organizers.
Proceeds from this year’s Tour de Kale will benefit 8-year-old Courtney Chriscoe, who was born with complex gastrointestinal issues. She has endured several different surgeries since her birth to correct the complications. Organizers of the event say the Chriscoe family needs assistance for another surgery that is scheduled for this summer. The event also will assist the family of Missy Bean, who died after her losing her bout with peritoneal cancer. She formerly worked as a phlebotomist at Cornerstone Health Care in High Point. Loflin Fabrication in Denton is serving as the flagship sponsor of the Tour De Kale. “They put it on every year to help somebody locally,” said Terry Ferrell, co-owner of Loflin Fabrication. “We try to give back to the community. It’s been pretty good for us.” Watkins estimates about 600 people will participate in the two-day event. Registration begins at 7 p.m. Friday for the run and 7 a.m. Satur-

Green pushes summer reading BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE
Kiara WIlliams (top) and Jayden Cyrus read during media briefing at Jamestown Public Library.
JAMESTOWN – Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green urged students Wednesday to take advantage of the summer months by reading books as part of the system’s literacy initiative. “Although summer education has started for most of our students, we hope they will continue learning outside the classroom,” Green said. “According to the National Summer Learning Association, students can lose about two months of gradelevel equivalency in reading and math skills throughout the summer months. While we want our students to have fun and enjoy their time off from school, we also want them to have fun by reading and being ready when school starts back in the fall.” Green made those comments during a media briefing at the Jamestown Public Library. Todd Cayton, the system’s K-8 literacy specialist, and Audrey Kendrick, a librarian at Jamestown Public Library, joined Green to promote reading at the event. Cayton said each of the schools in Guilford County either suggest or require summer reading lists. At the elementary level, books are suggested to be read during the summer, but generally no assignments are connected to those. At most of the system’s middle schools,
students are required to read between three and five books during the summer, with most students having assignments connected to the reading Green material. High School students typically have books assigned at each grade level, with assignments connected, according to Cayton. “Parents who are unsure of what their students reading assignments are can contact the school that they are going to,” Cayton said. Officials with Guilford County Schools are encouraging students to read this summer as part of the system’s “One Million Books” literacy campaign aimed at increasing the reading proficiency of students. In efforts for students to read a million books systemwide by January 2011, school officials have partnered with the Guilford County public library system. Kendrick said the Jamestown Public Library is holding summer reading programs throughout the summer, with middle school students taking part in activities at 1 p.m. on Tuesdays and ages 4 to 11 having its reading program from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Thursday.

Local country, sports-talk stations get new owners BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Two radio stations based in High Point have been acquired by a Hispanic multimedia company and may face format changes in the future. Charlotte-based Norsan Multimedia will begin leasing WIST-FM (“Country Legends” 98.3) and WBLO-AM (“The Ball”
790) on July 1. The leasing agreement includes an option to buy, said Jake Bogan, chief operating officer of GHB Radio Group that currently owns the stations. WIST-FM, which plays classic country music, will probably be converted to a Mexican format next month while WBLO-AM will remain an Englishlanguage sports talk chan-
nel for the time being, Bogan said. Norsan officials couldn’t be reached for comment on Wednesday. Norsan operates WOLSFM (“La Raza” 106.1) in Charlotte and nine other radio stations in North Carolina. Bogan said there is a larger market for a Hispanic radio station in the High Point/Greensboro area than there is for a classic country ra-
dio station. “We’ve been in the current format for five years with not-so-good results,” he said. “It’s estimated that 7 percent of the Triad’s population is Hispanic. There are also three other major country stations in the market.” Under the leasing agreement, Norsan will bring its own employees. Bogan said the station currently has four full-time employ-

ees and will retain one of those employees to handle the AM station. Bogan said the switch was made for economic reasons and because there was a niche to fill in the Hispanic radio market. “There was a hole left in the market for Spanish language on the FM band,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

His mother says Ascencio’s shoe came off, his sock was ripped open and smoke was coming from his body. Ascencio’s heart stopped, but he was revived and taken to a hospital. Alamance County was under a severe thunderstorm warning issued by the National Weather Service when Ascencio was struck.

Lawmakers OK tougher animal cruelty penalties RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina legislators decided Wednesday that anyone so violent that they would torture, starve, or kill an animal should face possible jail time. The state Senate voted 470 to give final approval to raising penalties for some of the worst cases of animal abuse. Gov. Beverly Perdue must decide whether to sign the legislation into law. The punishment could
be up to eight months behind bars, but a judge could agree to community service instead. The bill was introduced after a Greensboro man received probation after burning, beating and leaving his 8-week-old puppy to die. The female pit-bull mix was later adopted and named Susie. The year-old dog, her scars visible and floppy ears burned off, was brought to
several legislative committees considering the bill. “Susie in her little life has created an awareness that those that torture animals ought to receive jail time,� said Sen. Don Vaughn, D-Guilford, who pushed the measure. “I believe there’s an important lesson in this law – that North Carolina is serious about animal abuse and anyone who tortures an animal can go to jail.�
Jealousy is justified when wife drinks with ‘the boys’
D
ear Abby: My wife and I disagreed with your advice to the woman whose husband was upset about his wife going out for drinks with her male coworkers. (“Pulled in Two in Pennsylvania,� April 2). We have been happily married for many years, and neither she nor I feel comfortable with a female employee going for drinks with mostly males. Drinking can lower inhibitions. Many office affairs begin in similar situations. In addition, no one should be driving home after two or more drinks. Office parties or get-togethers should not be held at bars. Employers can be held responsible for a multitude of things that can happen after these socials. That woman’s husband may be too protective or controlling, but he is not out of line to be upset about the situation. – Bob in Lewisville, Texas Dear Bob: Thank you for your comments. I told “Pulled in Two� that her husband appears to be insecure and can change only if he’s willing to own up to it. However, many readers felt differently – distinctly differently. Read on: Dear Abby: As someone with a “jealous� husband, I beg to differ. There is a positive definition of jealousy – rightly guarding what belongs to a person. This man may be guarding the relationship he has with his wife.
He may sense some danger from her “friendly� and “happily married� co- workers ADVICE that she doesn’t see. Dear Although Abby they have ■■■been married 16 years, it seems his jealousy arose only after she took this job. I speak from experience as someone who didn’t realize I had boundary issues with men. I thought I was just being friendly, but my husband helped me understand where to draw the line. In doing so, I have seen how much he values our relationship and wants to protect it. I am a college graduate and have worked in my profession more than 25 years. I’m not a throwback to the days of male domination. I appreciate my husband’s concern and wisdom. “Pulled� needs to find a way to put her marriage ahead of having fun with her co-workers. Jobs come and go; a great marriage can last a lifetime. – Jo Ann in Georgia
co-workers. Otherwise, I bet she could invite her husband. – Been There in Aztec, N.M. Dear Abby: It does seem that the husband is insecure, but there may be another explanation. Some of the most jealous spouses I have witnessed were the ones who caroused the most. Obviously, since they cannot be trusted, they project that unwarranted lack of trust onto their mate. – Ilene in Corpus Christi
Dear Abby: Any time social drinking is a part of a “work� event, the opportunity for inappropriate behavior presents itself. Many marriages have been ruined because of a “mistake� or “I didn’t mean it to happen – it was the alcohol.� If “Pulled� wants to go out drinking with male associates rather than go home to her husband, she is taking the road that leads away from a strong marriage. I faced that crossroad many times throughout my life and have never once regretted telling the ladies I couldn’t join them because I already had a commitment at home.

’m fascinated by those surveys that reveal what various professionals’ time is worth in the market place, and, as expected, those with the most expertise inevitably make more money. So it goes without saying that our time has value. In fact it may be our most valuable GIVING 101 commodity as it is Paul finite and Lessard impos■■■ sible to recreate. When you look at it this way, suddenly one realizes that volunteering our time may be the most significant gift we can make. I know a guy in High Point who really embraces this concept, as he is constantly investing his time and energy into young men in a way that changes them forever. His name is Scott Reitnour; he is a teacher and a soccer coach at Wesleyan Christian Academy. For years I have watched him pour his faith, wisdom, energy, humor, trust and personal resources into the hearts of “his boys.” The process is a long and tedious one that includes loving discipline, soul and character building, leadership modeling and the occasional “come-toJesus” meeting. Scott is a practitioner of the increasingly rare process of building boys into men, and he uses the classroom and the soccer field as his workplace. It is amazing to find someone who is willing to focus his entire career on teaching boys the hard and essential life lessons which so often come at great personal price for both the giver and the receiver. Every year Scott is courted by colleges throughout the country who want this remarkable man to come and practice his craft on their campuses. He has a young family, and these offers always represent a substantial raise in salary, and yet he stays. He will tell you that he believes that God has given him a ministry with young men, and I know he is right. He is not motivated by fame and compensation but instead by the noble mission of building one of our most endangered resources, strong men of character and faith. I believe that Scott is a philanthropist of the highest order who is changing our world one boy at a time by “giving that which he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”

Multiple sclerosis incurable but treatable
D
ear Dr. Donohue: My doctor thinks I might have multiple sclerosis. All this started because I couldn’t see well out of my left eye. That has cleared without any treatment. I know very little about this illness, except that it leaves a person wheelchair-bound. I understand there is no treatment. I am 41 and have four children. I am devastated by all this. Please explain it to me. – G.S.

Multiple sclerosis gets its name because many (multiple) scars (sclerosis) appear in the brain and spinal cord. The scars come about due to a disruption in myelin, the insulating material for nerves. When myelin is lost, nerve transmission is interrupted. That’s the basis for all the symptoms of MS. It’s believed that antibodies attack myelin. What turns on the production of these antibodies remains unknown. Often, the first sign of MS is a vision disturbance such as the development of a blind spot in one eye. Weakness of an arm or leg, a staggering walk, numbness in a body region, sensitivity to heat with a worsening of symptoms and outright pain in a particular area are some of the signs of this illness. Almost as a rule, the initial signs and symptoms disappear. For the diagnosis, a return of different symptoms

points to MS. MRI scans show the brain and spinal cord scars with great HEALTH clarity. Changes in Dr. Paul spinal fluid Donohue add evi■■■ dence to the diagnosis. The most common kind of MS is relapsing-remitting MS. Symptoms go but are followed by a new outbreak of different symptoms. In time, the symptoms can become permanent. About 350,000 people in the United States have this illness. Women patients outnumber men by a factor of 3 to 1. Peculiarly, geography has a great influence. People who live in northern climates are more likely to come down with it than are those who live in southern climates. The illness most commonly appears between the ages of 20 and 50. Treatment is available. We’re jumping the gun in talking about it since you have not been officially diagnosed as having it. Bear in mind that treatment has made this illness not as hopeless as you imagine. Dear Dr. Donohue: My visit to my brother and his family in New Mexico was ruined by the bite of a brown recluse spider, a creature I have never heard of. I was
wakened from sleep with pain in the back of my left arm. The pain got worse. I showed my brother my arm, and he said it was a spider bite. I saw a local doctor, and he confirmed the diagnosis. The doctor put me on a medicine. Are there any future consequences of this? – L.P. The brown recluse spider is reclusive. It likes dark, quiet places: basements, attics, closets, woodpiles, under the bark of dead trees and under rocks. These spiders are small, less than twofifths of an inch. They’re brown and have a violinshaped mark on their back. They’re distinctive among spiders because they have six eyes – one pair in the middle of the head and a pair off to both sides. Most spiders have eight eyes, two rows of four pairs. Their bite causes a burning sensation, which intensifies during the next two to eight hours. Usually, all heals in a week. In a small number of people, a black scab forms, which becomes an open ulcer. You probably were put on dapsone to prevent that from happening. No future consequences lie in store for you. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

IGH POINT – Musical hits from the 1970s and 1980s will be filling the streets from 7 to 10 p.m. on Saturday to benefit an annual toy drive. Sleeping Booty will perform in an effort to raise money for the United Way’s yearly Toy Drive for Homeless Kids. The concert is being held at Mendenhall Transportation Terminal in front of the IHFC building on E. Commerce Avenue. Tickets are $5 and can be bought at the gate; children under 12 may attend free. Each summer, the United Way of Greater High Point receives donations to buy school supplies and new toys for homeless and under-

privileged kids in the area. These children live in The Salvation Army shelter, are in foster care with Youth Unlimited and participate in programs with other partner agencies of the United Way. “We have seen our partner agencies really struggle to meet basic needs for people in this difficult economy,” said Bobby Smith, president of the United Way of Greater High Point. “And because of the transitional nature of these kids’ lives, or because they have been displaced, they frequently don’t receive birthday presents of ‘just because’ gifts like most kids do.” For information on the event or to volunteer, call Tommy Lineberry at 210-8062.
The stars of “Twilight” are already looking forward to the final two installments in the vampire franchise. Author Stephenie Meyer’s fourth and final “Twilight” book, “Breaking Dawn,” is splitting into two parts, and while scripts are still being written, star Kristen Stewart says she knows exactly where the fourth movie should end: With Bella having just given birth and Edward being forced to change her into a vampire to save her life. “I feel like it’s so obvious where you break it up. It’s as soon as she turns,” Stewart told AP Television at a weekend publicity event for the third “Twilight” film, “Eclipse,” opening June 30. “Gosh, you open your eyes to this different world, right? That would be amazing.” Stewart said she’s looking forward to her character’s development in the final two films, the first of which is set for release Nov. 18, 2011. “It’s such a crazy concept though,” she said. “I’m going to be playing a wife and a mother and a vampire. I haven’t read the scripts ... but I don’t see where else it could split other than when she turns. ... I’m really curious as to what I’m going to be doing in the next six months.” Co-star Taylor Lautner said he approved of Stewart’s idea, and praised the decision by film distributor Summit Entertainment to break up the last book.

Thursday, June 17, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Venus Williams, 30; Greg Kinnear, 47; Joe Piscopo, 59; Barry Manilow, 67 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You have to be conscientious about completion this year. Do not leave anything undone or someone else will take control and get credit for your ideas. Strive for stability, not the impossible. Sometimes less does turn out to be more. Get rid of dead weight. Your numbers are 6, 13, 26, 34, 35, 38, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): The work you do on your own and for your benefit will bring you the rewards you are looking for. An appointment to improve your looks or a shopping spree will get you out of a funk and back to your confident self. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can move forward but not before you get approval from the people in your life affected by your decisions. Listening to what other people are offering will give you an idea what’s missing and how you can make what you have to offer superior. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Let everyone do his or her own thing and get on with your own business. Expect to face a do-or-die situation at home with regard to an emotional issue involving time, money and a broken promise. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Added responsibilities at home will cause uncertainty initially but, in time, will lead to the long overdue alterations you need to make in order to be happy. An old relationship will bring back memories but shouldn’t influence a pressing decision. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do your best to help others, finish what you start or resolve an issue that you left dangling. The more you address, the more you will be able to focus on the things you want to put emphasis on in the future. Hard work will pay off. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can’t expect to please everyone. Do your best but do not deviate from the plans you have already made. Work done to your home will be costly and not to your satisfaction, unless you do the work yourself. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your intelligence, coupled with your ability to turn a negative into a positive, will help you get your way. Someone you feel responsible for has a hidden agenda. Look out for your own interests first, then you can offer help to others. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Taking action will surprise the people you are trying to outsmart. Revenge cannot be your motivation but truly wanting to get ahead can. Justice and fair play must rule your world. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Difficult situations will arise. The outcome will be out of your hands. Proceed with caution and protect your emotional, mental and physical well-being. Stick close to home and you will avoid some of the problems. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Get an insider’s view of what is actually happening contractually, financially or legally to a deal or company you are affiliated with. Sign up to learn something new or update a skill. Don’t wait around for things to happen – initiate your own plans. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be sought after by someone who sees what you have to offer but, before you decide to join forces, make sure this person has something to offer in return. The more creative input you have, the easier it will be to get things done to your specifications. Discuss but don’t commit. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dissect recent circumstances before you make a decision. You will have regrets if you act in haste or disregard what’s happened. Right now, it’s probably best to give the benefit of a doubt. ★★★

Cy the Cynic says that nothing succeeds like the appearance of success. That theory was proven correct in today’s deal. Cy, West, led a diamond against 3NT, and declarer won in dummy and let the queen of hearts ride. Cy casually played low. The Cynic’s deception was successful: To South, it appeared that the finesse had won and would win again. So South continued with a heart to his ten, and this time Cy won and returned a heart. South took his diamond tricks but then had to cash the A-K of clubs: Dummy had no entry for a finesse. East won the next club and led the queen of spades, and the defense took the rest. Down one.

DAILY QUESTION
EIGHT TRICKS
You hold: S K 6 H A 10 6 D A Q J 5 C A K J 6. You open 2NT, and your partner responds three diamonds, a “transfer” bid. You duly bid three hearts, and he tries 3NT. What do you say?
Appearances were deceiving – and fatal to the contract. After the queen of hearts wins, South has eight tricks: two hearts, four diamonds and two clubs. So South should lead a club to his jack next. Even if the finesse lost, South would set up a third club trick, and East couldn’t get in for the deadly spade shift through the king.
ANSWER: Your partner is offering a choice of games. He has enough strength for game with a five-card heart suit and balanced or semibalanced pattern. Since you have three cards in hearts and a possible ruffing feature in spades, correct to four hearts. Partner may hold 8 7 5, Q J 9 7 5, K 7 6, 7 4. South dealer N-S vulnerable
ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

CHRISTY LEMIRE AP MOVIE CRITIC
L
OS ANGELES – The cinematic landscape is littered with terrible movies based on television shows. From “Leave It to Beaver” and “Bewitched” to “The Dukes of Hazzard” and “Starsky & Hutch,” the vast majority of these adaptations have not exactly been must-sees. And we won’t even begin to discuss movies based on “Saturday Night Live” sketches. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day. But with “The A-Team” arriving in theaters this weekend, it’s a good time to ponder some other programs that are ready to make that leap: • “Arrested Development.” One of the smartest, funniest, most inventive shows ever, it barely lasted three seasons. Critics loved it, few others watched it. But while there’s been talk of bringing the dysfunctional Bluth family to the big screen ever since the series ended in 2006, the project remains up in the air. David Cross, who played Tobias Funke, said he doubted it would happen. Will Arnett, who played Gob Bluth, said at the Fox upfront that the movie would be a go someday, but that a new comedy he’s doing with “Arrested Development” creator Mitch Hurwitz was delaying production. And Jason Bateman, who was at the center of the family as Michael Bluth, also has said he was optimistic. If anyone knows for sure, we’ll be hanging out by the banana stand. • “The Golden Girls.” Even though three of the four stars are no longer with us – Bea Arthur, Estelle Getty and Rue McClanahan – the series’ core concept and its mix of brash humor and friendship would seem to be a hit with moviegoers, especially those of a certain age, for whom the pickings are slim at the multiplex. Just think about it: Four older women with distinct personalities, sharing a home in Miami, teasing and sometimes bick-
ering with each other but remaining loyal throughout. The racy jokes that marked the show’s sense of humor could be even more daring in film form. It could also be known by its alternate title, “Sex and the City 3.” • “Jeopardy!” There are so many potential benefits here. First, by seeing it repeatedly, you can look like a total smarty pants in front of your friends, who will have no idea you’re just memorizing the answers. Ooh! Sing-alongs to the theme song during the Final Jeopardy round. To make it even more interactive, people in the audience could throw fries at the screen whenever Alex Trebek pronounces a word in show-offy, perfect French. And speaking of Trebek, there could be flashbacks attached to various questions, revealing the path he took to game-show greatness. That’s never been done before. • The “Joan Rivers Classics Collection” on QVC. The comedian and “Celebrity Apprentice” winner can talk, as we know from her catchphrase. And she’s been peddling her line of jewelry and accessories through the home-shopping channel for about 20 years. Wouldn’t
it be more fun to see her sell her stuff with all the foul-mouthed candor of her stand-up routine? You could watch her work as she tries to sell you a turquoise-colored necklace and matching earrings. And this would be a rare opportunity in which you’d be encouraged to use your cell phone in the theater – ‘cause there’d be no way to resist dialing in and making that purchase right NOW! • “Yule Log.” It’s a Christmas-morning staple at local television stations across the country: a shot of a piece of wood, burning in a fireplace, for hours on end while traditional carols swell in the background. Now imagine spending Christmas morning watching it on the big screen. It would seem ... warmer somehow, right? Buy a present for yourself, sneak a little eggnog in, maybe even make some new friends. Best of all, you get to escape your in-laws while still enjoying all the comforts of the holiday. Think of any other examples?

Michael Patman of the HiToms is tagged out by Asheboro’s Bowen Woodson during Thomasville’s 3-1 victory on Wednesday.
HiToms show more pep BY ZACH KEPLEY THOMASVILLE ENTERPRISE BUREAU
THOMASVILLE – Tom Dorzweiler had a little more pep in his step Wednesday afternoon and rightly so. For the first time this season, his entire team was present, and the atmosphere at Finch Field seemed to be elevated just a bit. The end result was a 3-1 HiToms win over the Asheboro Copperheads, breathing new life into a club that came into game 4-12. “The season starts today,” said Dorzweiler. “Everybody is here now
and there are no more excuses. All the horses are here, and we are going to saddle them up and ride them as long as we can.” The Tommies remain well back of Forest City in the first half pennant, but the agenda for now is to get better each day in preparation for the second half. Starting pitcher Parker Thomas helped guide the team in a new direction, tossing six innings and giving up only one hit to get the win. He struck out six during his tenure on the hill. “Parker came out and pitched great,” said Dorzweiler. “We told him we
are going to run you until you run out of gas.” Leadoff hitter Tanner Mathis singled to start the game, making his way to third on a passed ball and ground out. Tyler Frederick took care of the final 90 feet, slapping a single to right for a 1-0 lead. In the fourth, the Tommies went up by two thanks to newcomer Chris Fritts. The Tennessee Volunteer product smashed a solo home run to left in just his second at-bat with the team. He had also doubled down the left field line in first plate appearance. Louisiana State’s Jordan Rittiner relieved Thomas in the seventh and was
touched for a run by the Copperheads. Brantley Meier reached on a Frederick error at third, then stole second to get in scoring position with two outs. Hunter Ridge then singled to right, setting up a play at the plate. Mathis fired the ball home and the low throw beat the runner, but Meier dived head first around the back of the plate and reached his hand in for the score. Dorzweiler came out to argue the call but the ruling would stand. Rittiner got the next man to fly out and end the inning. Mathis helped get the run back in the bottom half in similar fashion, reach-
ing on an error at third. He was sacrificed over to second then stole third with two outs. After Frederick was hit by a pitch, Zak Wasserman (another newcomer) singled up the middle to score Mathis. Brandon Johnson pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning to finish off the game and get the save. Notes: Frederick reached base all four times and collected two hits ... Fritts also added two hits to the cause ... Asheboro skipper Donnie Wilson was tossed in the second inning arguing a call he would later win ... The HiToms travel to Gastonia tonight for a 7:05 start.
Road race comes at good time for Ambrose
I
n the days leading up to the start of the Cup season, Marcos Ambrose indicated that he felt if he didn’t do well, he could be out of a job at any time. At the time, that seemed to be unnecessary worry considering that Ambrose was impressive in stretches during 2009 as he made the transition from Australian V-8 sedan road racing to his first full year in Cup, posting four finishes in the top five, seven in the top SPORTS 10 and finishing 18th in points, AP FILE just 627 points out of 13th.

The series visits the road Chase for the Championship, Ambrose has course at Infineon Raceway, giving Ambrose been one of the disappointments of the year. opportunity to play to his strength as he has After 15 events, he has one top-10 finish and since coming to NASCAR. has not been running at end six times.

warm up to a road course. I don’t need to dial myself into the track. I don’t need to work on brake markers. All of that is set in my brain. So we can get straight to work in practice on making the cars better. And that is a huge factor in road racing. You’ve got to really get in front of what the car needs.” Needing to turn the season around, and with the making the Chase almost out of the question, Ambrose believes the short-term goal for his team is to get its confidence back. “Our goal now is to start gaining momentum, start gaining consistency, start stringing up those top 10s, and then hopefully get back on track. . .We’ve lost a month in the doldrums. Hopefully, we can pull ourselves out and finish the second half of the season strong.”
MEARS OUT AT RED BULL Red Bull Racing announced Casey Mears will not return as Brian Vickers’ replacement when the Cup Series returns to oval tracks next week at New Hampshire. Mears has not run well in the four points races since he was put in the No. 83 at the request of his friend Vickers, after Vickers was sidelined by treatment for blood clots. Mattias Ekstrom of Sweden, who drives for Red Bull in the German Touring Car series, is in the car for the road course event this Sunday at Infineon. Red Bull said they will give Reed Sorenson a shot beginning at New Hampshire. Sorenson has been in a part-time ride since he was left without a place at Richard Petty Motorsports at the end of last season. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519
HIT AND RUN

A
s usual, the U.S. Open golf tournament swings into action today at Pebble Beach with numerous compelling storylines: •Can Tiger Woods overcome recent injuries and personal problems to capture a record-tying fourth U.S. Open championship? •Can Lee Westwood build on the momentum of last week’s PGA Tour victory in Memphis and shed the label of best active
player never to win a major? •Can Jim Furyk, already a twotime winner on Tour this year, add a second U.S. Open crown to the one he took in 2003? •Can Dustin Johnson follow up back-to-back Pebble Beach National Pro-Am championships with his first major on a course he clearly loves? Of course, one storyline figures to dominate the others. Can five-time U.S. Open runnerup Phil Mickelson break
through and win the major he most wants to add to his resume? Lefty secured his third Masters title earlier this year. A U.S. Open title puts him halfway to the mythical grand slam. I expect Mickelson is much more focused on completing the career U.S. slam. He also owns the 2005 PGA Championship. Mickelson is the only five-time runnerup in U.S. Open history. His near-misses have come in all shapes and sizes.
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
Here’s hoping he lifts the trophy on Sunday night, because I would hate for Lefty to endure the frustration of the late Sam Snead. Slammin’ Sammy won 82 PGA Tour titles and seven majors, but never captured a U.S. Open. He placed second four times and often said that his failure on the U.S. Open stage haunted him. I’d hate to see another great player suffer that fate. – MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR
Call it Day 2 of the Chipper Jones retirement watch. The Atlanta Braves third baseman said Wednesday he’s still not ready to announce whether he’ll call it a career after the season. “There’s no change,” he said, standing at his clubhouse locker before batting practice. “After all the courtesy that I’ve given (the media) over the years, I would hope that I would be given the same courtesy to kind of do this in my own time, in my own way. That’s that.” A day earlier, Jones met with manager Bobby Cox, general manager Frank Wren and team president John Schuerholz to discuss his future. The 38-year-old player has struggled with injuries and is clearly frustrated about the way he’s played the last two seasons. Jones went into Wednesday’s game hitting just .233 with four homers and 23 RBIs, though an ailing finger is feeling better. He showed a more familiar swing in the series opener, homering into the center-field seats.

World Cup on Wednesday
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A look at Day 6 Wednesday at the 2010 World Cup (all times EDT):
RESULTS Chile 1, Honduras 0 Spain 1, Switzerland 0 Uruguay 3, South Africa 0
HIGHLIGHTS Chile looked like a dominant South American team, something usually reserved for Brazil and Argentina, in its 1-0 victory over Honduras in Group H. At the final whistle following Switzerland’s stunning 1-0 win over Spain, goal scorer Gelson Fernandes fell to his knees and raised both arms to the sky. The entire team then went to the small section of Swiss fans in the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban and saluted them as they cheered and rang alpine cow bells.
WEATHER The cold wave that hit central South Africa dropped the temperature in Pretoria for the host country’s Group A night game with Uruguay to 40 degrees, with a wind-chill at the freezing mark. Uruguay won 3-0.
SHUTOUTS Through 17 games, there have been 12 shutouts, including two 0-0 games. All three games Wednesday were won by shutouts.
STARS Swiss keeper Diego Benaglio held off surge after surge by Spain in a 1-0 victory, the biggest upset of the tournament thus far. He made eight saves as the Spaniards attemped 24 shots. Diego Forlan, Uruguay, became the first multiple goal scorer in the tournament. He got one in each half in a 3-0 victory over South Africa. Forlan, a prolific scorer for Atletico Madrid, he connected on a long shot that deflected slightly off a defender, and on a penalty kick.
HISTORY Chile’s 1-0 victory over Honduras came exactly 48 years since its last World Cup win, when it beat Yugoslavia for third place in the tournament Chile hosted. Honduras will be the first country to have three brothers on a World Cup team after Jerry Palacios was called up because of an injury to another player. The midfielder will arrive Thursday in Johannesburg to replace injured Julio Cesar de Leon, out with a right leg injury. Jerry will join Wilson and Johnny, who also are midfielders. A fourth brother, Edwin Rene Palacios, was kidnapped and murdered in 2007. The kidnappers killed him after the family had paid a $500,000 ransom. Edwin was the youngest of the soccer-playing brothers and played briefly for Honduras’ under-23 team and the under-17s. Honduras lost to Chile 1-0 Wednesday in Group H.
STUMBLING STARTS Spain is the latest European champion to lose its opening World Cup game after Switzerland surprisingly won their Group H match 1-0. Only two of the last nine European champions have managed a victory in their opening game at the World Cup: France in 1986 and Germany in 1998. Switzerland’s first victory over Spain is the biggest shock of the tournament so far; the Spanish team is widely seen as one of the fa-
vorites to win the title.
GOAL OF THE DAY Eren Derdiyok created Switzerland’s goal in its 1-0 upset by surging through the center of Spain’s defense and going around keeper Iker Casillas on one of Switzerland’s rare attacks. Gerard Pique’s desperate tackle stopped Derdiyok, but Fernandes was on hand to pounce on the loose ball and score in the 52nd minute.
LOOKAHEAD The first matchup of teams that won their opening games could see one clinch a spot in the second round. If South Korea or Argentina win (7:30 a.m. at Johannesburg), and GreeceNigeria draw (10 a.m. Bloemfontein), the 2-0 team is headed to the round of 16 from Group B. For South Korea to get there, it must stop Lionel Messi, who didn’t score in Argentina’s 1-0 victory over Nigeria, but was masterful controlling the ball and the match. Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama was impressive against Argentina, making several excellent saves, and his teammates nearly earned a draw. Greece was handled easily by South Korea, showing no offensive flair. If either team loses, it can pretty much forget advancing. Not many observers were smiling after France’s dull 0-0 draw with Uruguay, and coach Raymond Domenech is under fire for the lack of offense. Of course, he was heavily criticized in 2006 for the early French performances and they wound up losing in the final to Italy. Mexico, however, looked good for most of its opening 1-1 draw with South Africa. ——— QUOTABLE “The Chilean people have been waiting for this for quite some time. We have given them huge happiness.” — Defender Mauricio Isla after Chile’s 1-0 win over Honduras, the nation’s first World Cup win since 1962. “I think talk is cheap He’s got to stand toe to toe. And they’ve got to stand toe to toe with us for 90 minutes. And if’s he still standing, then I’ll take my hat off to him. But a lot of boxers talk, too, and they’re looking up at the lights. And the next thing they know, they’re trying to figure out how they got there.” — Goalkeeper Tim Howard about Andrej Komac’s prediction of victory for Slovenia over the United States.

Removal of rough puts golfers closer to sea at Pebble PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — One shot that stands out from the last U.S. Open at Pebble Beach was the 7-iron that Tiger Woods gouged out of the right rough on the par-5 sixth, a blind shot over the hill and onto the green to turn trouble into birdie. He might not get so lucky if it happens this year. That famous meeting of land and sea is a lot more intimate at this U.S. Open. In a subtle change that could put even more fear into Pebble Beach, the USGA opted to eliminate the rough on six holes along the Pacific coastline, allowing errant shots to go over the cliff and into the biggest water hazard in golf. “If the wind is into us on those holes, you’re going to see a lot of fun and games,” Ernie Els said. “I actually hit one onto the beach the other day on the 10th hole. If you just leak it there, there’s no way. The cliff comes into the fairway a little bit and
from the tee, you might think you can fly it over that side. But you can’t. Or at least I can’t.” Els didn’t go down to the beach to play his next shot. It was a practice round. Besides, “I don’t know if I would have come back up.” Padraig Harrington knows where not to hit his tee shot on the sixth hole. He pushed it a little bit to the right during the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in February and watched it tumble over the bluffs and onto the rocks at Stillwater Cove. “I’m not sure if it’s playable to the right,” he said. “It certainly wasn’t playable then.” That’s just one more element for Woods, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood and the rest of the 156man field to contend with when the 110th U.S. Open gets under way on Thursday. Pebble Beach already is a severe test with its tiny greens, already so firm that the USGA put water on them before the final

Simon Dyson of England looks at the ocean as he wait to make a shot on the ninth hole during practice Wednesday for the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Officials have removed rough on some holes to make it easier for balls to roll off cliffs and onto the beach. practice round Wednesday to keep them from dying by the weekend. The forecast is for cool temperatures and no rain all week, although there is no predicting whether a marine layer will keep the sun off the Monterey Peninsula.
“Fog will be the players’ friend,” said Roger Maltbie, a Pebble regular who now works for NBC Sports. “If we get sunny conditions with a bit of breeze, this will be a great championship. And I’d be very surprised if anyone breaks par.”
Only one player broke par the last time — Woods with an unfathomable 12-under 272 to win by 15 shots. Woods played only the back nine Wednesday, finishing with a tee shot into the bunker on the 18th, blasting out to the fair-
way, then ripping a 2-iron onto the green. Asked what club he used, Woods laughed and said, “None of your business.” That was a reference to his terse reply when someone asked about the state of his marriage on Tuesday.

Top seed goes to Federer
Moyer gets win No. 265 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Jamie Moyer worked eight sharp innings to become the oldest pitcher to beat the Yankees, and the 47-year-old lefty bounced back from the worst start of his career to pitch the Philadelphia Phillies past New York 63 Wednesday night. Shane Victorino hit a bases-loaded triple, and Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth hit the Phillies’ first back-to-back homers of the season to end the Yankees’ ninegame home winning streak. Philadelphia roughed up A.J. Burnett (6-5) for only its ninth win in 26 games, a stretch that has dropped them into third place in the NL East. On Thursday, the Phillies will face Andy Pettitte in the finale of the three-game set. Pettitte won the clincher in last year’s World Series between the two teams.
BRAVES 6, RAYS 2 ATLANTA — Tommy Hanson pitched seven scoreless innings, Troy Glaus drove in two runs and the Atlanta Braves
returned to their winning ways at home with a 6-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night. Atlanta has won 10 of its last 11 at Turner Field and is 20-7 overall at home this season. One night after stranding 14 runners in a 104 loss to the Rays, the Braves took a 3-0 lead with two outs in the third on Brian McCann’s RBI double and Glaus’ two-run single.
DODGERS 6, REDS 2 CINCINNATI — Andre Ethier hit his first home run since breaking his finger and Clayton Kershaw outpitched rookie Mike Leake, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers over the slumping Cincinnati Reds 6-2 . Kershaw (7-3) won a matchup of promising, 22-year-old starters, giving up one run and seven hits in 71⁄3 innings. Ethier’s homer off Leake helped send him to his first loss in the majors. Reds third baseman Scott Rolen and manager Dusty Baker were ejected by plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt for arguing a called third strike.

Kobe Bryant of Los Angeles goes to the basket during the Lakers’ 89-67 victory in Game 6 over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday in Los Angeles. The victory by the Lakers forced a deciding Game 7 tonight in the best-of-7 series.
Lakers, Celtics dismiss weight of Game 7 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Even when Lamar Odom was a kid with limitless imagination growing up on New York’s playground courts, he thinks he might have dismissed Thursday’s season finale as a bit too extravagant. When the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the NBA finals, Odom realizes it’s a fantasy come true for any basketball player with the audacity to dream this big. “It’s historic, especially when you talk about these teams and what they stand for, the pride,” the Lakers forward said Wednesday. “This is what you envision when you’re a kid in
your backyard. Counting down, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...” Another memorable chapter in the NBA’s best rivalry will end with a coronation at Staples Center, where the defending champion Lakers will try to earn their 16th banner while denying Boston its unprecedented 18th title in the clubs’ second finals meeting in three years. For the fifth time in their 12 finals meetings, Boston and Los Angeles need all seven games to decide it. It’s fine for kids and historians to savor this scenario, but Kobe Bryant knows it’s not a good idea for players to get caught up in it. “It’s got nothing to do
with me,” said Bryant, the series’ leading scorer with 29.5 points per game. “(When) I look back, years from now, or even when I was a kid, (if) you’d talk about being in this situation, I’d be really excited. But when I’m in the moment right now, I’ve got to play. I’ve got to focus on that. I can’t focus on the hype about it.” Although Boston has the rivalry’s Game 7 history on its side, the Celtics have plenty stacked against them. Most glaringly, Boston won’t have starting center Kendrick Perkins, who sprained multiple ligaments in his right knee in the first quarter.
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Roger Federer was the No. 1 seed for Wimbledon ahead of Rafael Nadal in a reverse of their world rankings. Federer, the defending champion and sixtime Wimbledon winner, received the top seed Wednesday even though Nadal recently replaced him at No. 1. There were no surprises in the women’s seedings, with Serena Williams at No. 1 and sister Venus at No. 2. Nadal moved into the top spot after winning the French Open, while Federer slipped to No. 2 after losing in the quarterfinals in Paris. Wimbledon uses its discretion to seed players based on their grasscourt record. “While the seeding positions of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are reversed from their current rankings, there is no practical effect since they remain the leading seeds in their respective halves of the draw,” Wimbledon referee Andrew Jarrett said. The draw will be held Friday, with the twoweek Grand Slam tournament starting Monday. Federer has won a record 16 Grand Slam titles, including this year’s Australian Open. However, he has not won a tournament since Australia. On Sunday, Federer experienced only his second loss on grass in more than seven years.

Swiss knife way to upset of Spain THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURBAN, South Africa — Switzerland pulled off a shocking upset at the World Cup on Wednesday, beating European champion Spain 1-0 on Gelson Fernandes’ second-half goal. Fernandes clipped the ball into the net in the 52nd minute, ending Spain’s run of 12 straight wins and handing the Spanish team its second loss in 50 games. Spain’s only other loss during the stretch was to the United States, at the Confederations Cup in South Africa last year. Spain outshot the Swiss 24-8 and held the ball 63 percent of the time, but could find no way through Switzerland’s determined defense. It was Switzerland’s first win over Spain. Eren Derdiyok created Switzerland’s goal by surging through the center of Spain’s defense and rounding Iker Casillas on one of Switzerland’s rare attacks. Gerard Pique’s desperate tackle stopped Derdiyok, but Fernandes was on hand to pounce on the loose ball and score.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers spent the past month focusing on their quarterbacks and passing game, mourned Thomas Davis’ untimely knee injury and spoke with guarded confidence about the upcoming season. With so many unknowns and a roster full of new faces, there was really no other way for the players and coaches to think as they wrapped up a month of voluntary workouts on Wednesday and began a sixweek break before the start of training camp. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, there is no doubt,” coach John Fox said.

URUGUAY 3, S. AFRICA 0 PRETORIA, South Africa — Diego Forlan scored two goals, helping Uruguay to a 3-0 victory that pushed South Africa closer to being the first host nation to go out in the opening round of a World Cup. Forlan scored on a deflected 25-yard shot in the 24th minute and converted a penalty kick in the 80th to give Uruguay its first World Cup victory since a group game at the 1990 competition. Alvaro Pereira added the third score in injury time. Uruguay has four points from two games in Group A, while South Africa has one and needs to beat France on Tuesday to have any chance to stay in the competition.
Pac-10 invites Utah to join SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah is poised to become the 12th member of the Pac-10 as the conference quickly pivoted Wednesday to invite the Utes after being turned down by Texas and four other members of the Big 12 two days ago. Utah officials did not immediately say whether the invitation would be accepted, but it would be
Money offer from schools saved Big 12 LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas athletic director Lew Perkins said Wednesday that the five Big 12 schools in danger of being left without a conference came up with a plan that included offering money to keep Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma in the league. Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Baylor and Missouri drafted a “business plan” to persuade the bigger schools to reject any interest from the Pac-10 or Southeastern Conference, Perkins said. The idea was to make sure the three Big 12 South schools would not lose any money by sticking with the Big 12. “Five schools got together and we tried to develop a business plan like everything else,” said Perkins, who did not disclose financial details of the offer. He said paying to remain aligned with Texas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M is no different from a school giving a pay raise to a coach who wins a national championship.
shocking if the Utes didn’t leave the Mountain West Conference for the Pac-10. Spokeswoman Liz Abel said the athletics department would not comment until Thursday, after the school’s board of trustees meets to discuss the school’s conference affiliation. A news conference was scheduled at the football stadium following the meeting.
Pac-10 officials are expected to attend Thursday’s news conference in Utah. Utah has been a member of the MWC since the league began in 1999 — and one of its most successful in football and basketball. There had been speculation on Tuesday that Utah would be the next school to be approached by the Pac-10.
that to our advantage.” An offseason that saw numerous veterans released, not re-signed or allowed to leave in free agency claimed another starter last week when Davis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. It marred the beginning of Carolina’s youth movement, leaving a giant hole at weakside linebacker and raising questions if Davis came back too soon from his first ACL tear in November. But not two hours after the Panthers scattered for their vacation, well-known orthopedic surgeon James Andrews indicated Davis’ second ACL tear in seven months was a “fluke.” “ACLs, they can do the same maneuver two million times without an injury,” Andrews said. “And all of a sudden the same little
maneuver, sometimes not much of anything, they can tear their ACL.” Davis’ agent consulted with the well-known Andrews before deciding to have Panthers team doctor Pat Connor perform the surgery on Saturday. Andrews defended Connor and trainer Ryan Vermillion for Davis’ speedy rehab process and downplayed the significance of him not wearing a brace when he was hurt while backpedaling. Without its speedy playmaker, Carolina is contemplating major changes at linebacker. Two-time Pro Bowl selection Jon Beason could move to Davis’ old spot, with inexperienced Dan Connor taking over in the middle. The Panthers could also keep Beason in the middle and insert recent acquisition Jamar Williams outside.
CHARLOTTE — Brett Favre’s doctor indicated Wednesday that his recent ankle surgery went well and the quarterback has a few more weeks of rehabilitation before he’ll decide if he’ll return for a 20th NFL season. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews said there were no problems with last month’s arthroscopic procedure, which removed scar tissue and bone spurs from Favre’s left ankle. “It went fine,” Andrews said after speaking at the Charlotte Touchdown Club luncheon. “He’s rehabbing and trying to decide what he’s going to do. I talked to him yesterday.” Favre turns 41 in October. He has a contract with Minnesota that will pay him $13 million if he plays in the 2010 season. He has given few hints in the offseason, other than the surgery, which has led many in the Vikings organization to predict that he’ll be back.

Home construction fails to lift recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — Homebuilders are sending a message: They won’t be able to contribute much to the economic recovery now that government home-buying incentives have vanished. Home construction and applications for building permits sank in May, overshadowing favorable reports on manufacturing and wholesale inflation. Fewer homes means fewer jobs. Construction fuels a broad swath of industries across the economy. Yet double-digit unemployment is among the main reasons people have passed on buying new homes. Even with near-record-low mortgage rates and a glut of foreclosed properties on the

SEC probes meeting of drugmaker Mylan INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A newspaper report says federal regulators are investigating generic drugmaker Mylan Inc. over whether it disclosed confidential earnings information to a group of investors last September. The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter, reported in Wednesday’s editions that Mylan held a Sept. 9 meeting at a West Virginia manufacturing facility with Wall Street analysts and some investors. It said there was no public broadcast of the meeting.
Nokia issues warning for second quarter HELSINKI (AP) — Nokia Corp. warned Wednesday that its earnings this year will be hit by tough competition from rivals in the smart phone market. The news sent its stock down 9 percent. The world’s largest mobile phone maker said competition “particularly at the high-end of the market” would force net sales in the current period to be “at the lower end of, or slightly below, its previously expected range of €6.7 billion to €7.2 billion ($8.2 billion to 8.8 billion).”
Boeing union may strike next week ST. LOUIS (AP) — Boeing workers in St. Louis say they could walk out in as little as one week under a strike notice they plan to deliver to the company on Wednesday. The workers voted down Boeing’s last offer on Sunday. The notice says they could strike as soon as June 23.

market, the industry is struggling. “The economy is growing and the housing market is still in recession,” said Eugenio Aleman, senior economist with Wells Fargo Securities. “It;s not going to contribute to growth, but it is not going to pull the economy back down.” Overall, new home and apartment construction fell 10 percent in May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 593,000, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. April’s figure was revised downward to 659,000. Applications for new building permits — a sign of future activity — sank 5.9 percent to an annual rate of 574,000. That was
the lowest level in a year. Builders are scaling back now that tax credits of up to $8,000 have expired. The biggest evidence of that trend: the number of new single-family homes tumbled 17 percent, the largest monthly drop since January 1991. Robert Dye, senior economist with PNC Financial Services Group, said housing is likely to remain a drag on the economy through the fall. Builders aren’t likely to ramp up until the end of the year. “What we’re looking for is to see evidence that the economy is gaining momentum as the government disengages,” Dye said. “We’re not there yet.”
Proposal increases 401(k) disclosure WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators on Wednesday proposed new disclosure rules for target-date retirement funds that would require sponsors to spell out how they are investing the money and to warn about risks. The Securities and Exchange Commission voted 5-0 to propose that marketing materials for targetdate funds include how investments are being allocated among stocks, bonds, cash and such. The proposed rules could be formally adopted sometime after a 60-day public comment period, possibly with changes. Target-date funds, which are pegged to a person’s expected retirement year, are an increasingly popular way to invest in 401(k) accounts. They are appealing because of their “set-it-and-forget-it” approach. Usually named
for the year the investor expects to retire, the funds now command a total of about $270 billion in assets. The funds allocate investments among various types of assets, shifting to a more conservative mix as the target date for retirement approaches. The shift is called the fund’s “glide path.” The funds drew criticism in the market meltdown of 2008 for wide variations in their returns, and excessive risks and high fees for some funds. Under the proposal, target-date funds’ marketing materials, whether electronic or in print, would have to include a prominent table, chart or graph showing the allocations among the various assets over the life of the fund. A statement would have to explain that the asset allocation changes over time.
Companies report record iPhone orders NEW YORK (AP) — Apple Inc. said Wednesday that it and its phone company partners took orders for more than 600,000 iPhone 4s in one day, the highest number it’s ever seen. The companies stopped taking orders for shipment by the June 24 launch day in the U.S. The crush of orders sets the scene for long lines and potential chaos at stores when the next version of the iPhone is released. Judging by previous years, shortages could last through the summer. Apple and its partners started taking orders for the iPhone 4 on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning, AT&T Inc., the exclusive carrier in
the U.S., had stopped taking orders, saying it had to focus on fulfilling orders already received. At midday Wednesday, Apple was accepting orders only for black models, and would only guarantee shipment by July 2. The white model was unavailable for order. Dallas-based AT&T said it received 10 times as many pre-launch orders on the first day for the new iPhone model as it did for the previous model last year. AT&T also said it logged more than 13 million visits to a Web page where current customers can check if they’re eligible for a subsidized upgrade to the new phone.

Stocks show little change NEW YORK (AP) – BP’s agreement to put $20 billion into a fund for victims of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill lifted the stock market off its lows and sent the major indexes to a narrowly mixed finish. The oil company also said Wednesday it has canceled a dividend payment totaling about $2.6 billion that was scheduled for June 21. It also won’t declare a dividend for the second and third quarters. Investors saw the news as an end to the uncertainty about BP’s stability, and that helped steady the overall market. The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 4 points, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell less than a point and the Nasdaq composite index was virtually unchanged. BP’s plans to place $20 billion in a fund to compensate victims were announced after a meeting between BP executives and President Barack Obama at the White House. Traders had been questioning how BP will handle the mounting costs of the spill, which began April 20 when a rig operated by BP exploded. The market began the day by falling on news that home construction and applications for building permits slumped in May following the end of a homebuyer tax credit. The Dow rose 4.69, or 0.05 percent, to 10,409.46, its fourth advance in five days. During morning trading, the Dow was down as much as 72.

Fannie, Freddie to delist NYSE shares
NEW YORK (AP) – Government-sponsored mortgage purchasers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plan to delist their shares from the New York Stock Exchange after their stocks had trouble meeting listing requirements. Shares of both companies tumbled. Fannie Mae shares dropped 42 cents, or 46 percent to 50 cents, while Freddie Mac slid 58 cents, or 48 percent, to 64 cents in afternoon trading. The companies’ regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, said Wednesday Fannie’s shares have been below the $1 average price level for 30 trading days. NYSE rules require a company to take action to boost its shares or delist. Freddie’s shares have hovered close to the $1 mark. The move to delist “simply makes sense and fits with the goal of a conservatorship to preserve and conserve assets,” said FHFA Acting Director Edward J. DeMarco in a statement. The agency expects Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shares to trade, starting next month, on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, an electronic quotation service.
“It’s logical,” said Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. analyst Bose George. “The pretense that they were public companies didn’t make sense. They were kept around so the government could pursue its housing goals.” The government took over the pair in September 2008 after they suffered heavy loan losses following the housing crash. So far, it’s cost $145 billion so far and is likely to be the most expensive of all the financial bailouts. Late last year, the Obama administration pledged to cover unlimited losses through 2012 for the companies, lifting an earlier cap of $400 billion. And with the housing market still on shaky ground, Obama administration officials say it is still too early to draft any proposals to reform them, or the broader housing finance system. The pair along with the Federal Housing Administration and the Veterans Administration backed nearly 97 percent of home mortgages in the first quarter of this year, according to trade publication Inside Mortgage Finance.
GM’s Opel withdraws aid applications BERLIN (AP) – General Motors Co. on Wednesday abandoned a months-long effort to win European government aid for restructuring its Opel and Vauxhall operations, saying that it needed to move ahead and would fund the overhaul itself. A week after Germany rejected its request, GM said it was withdrawing applications for loan guarantees totaling €1.8 billion ($2.2 billion) from several European countries. The automaker said its own

improved finances were a factor in the decision. That will leave GM, which is majority-owned by the U.S. government, to shoulder the total funding needs of €3.3 billion rather than the €1.9 billion it had previously committed. GM’s move ends lengthy maneuvering over the future of Opel and Vauxhall, and represents a sharp turnaround from last year, when GM nearly sold a majority stake in its European operations and went through bankruptcy reorganization
in the U.S. It subsequently decided to hold onto its European business while seek government support. Opel and Vauxhall CEO Nick Reilly noted that GM initiated the aid applications more than six months ago and said “we had no idea that it would take this long.” “In that period of time the GM financial position has improved somewhat and the outlook is positive,” he said – helping make Wednesday’s decision possible.
