Denton won’t buy old Burlington plant BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
DENTON – With the town’s governing body split on the idea, Denton officials will not continue to explore the possibility of buying the old Burlington Industries Plant on Bombay Road. The Denton Board of Commissioners recently voted 3-2 against pursuing what some town officials had hoped would be a future business park at the former plant. The
town held a public hearing earlier this month where about 40 people spoke on whether or not they wanted the board to purchase the former plant. Commissioners Deanna Grubb, Julie Loflin and Wayne Plaster voted against a motion to move forward with the possible purchase of the plant. “I’m not sure what their reason behind it was,” Denton Mayor Scott Morris said of the board’s decision. “It’s very disappointing because I thought
it was a good opportunity for the town to at least explore the options of what this property might do in bringing jobs and employment to Denton. It had so many possibilities, I thought.” Morris said the next step toward the purchase was negotiating a price for the property and conducting a study of any potential problems at the site. The asking price for the 573,000-square-foot building and its 186 acres of land was $990,000.
Plaster said he voted against pursuing the plant because he thought the cost was too high in these tough economic times. Grubb and Loflin couldn’t be reached for comment. The Burlington Industries Plant, built in 1965, once had 1,200 employees during its peak before closing in 1996. Morris said the building has been difficult to sell because of its large size. He had hoped that the town could split up the building to accommodate several businesses.
WHO’S NEWS
–
Despite the town opting not to purchase the former plant, Morris hopes the property soon will have a buyer. He also hopes the town’s board will reconsider the purchase. “I think we missed a good opportunity here to bring Denton up with a very nice industrial park,” the mayor said. “I know part of the building needed some work, but there was a lot of acreage there and a lot of sewer.”

DOT to close Finch Farm intersection for construction of roundabout BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
TRINITY – Motorists traveling Finch Farm Road can expect to have a 10-mile detour starting Thursday as crews construct a roundabout at the Old Mountain Road intersection. According to the N.C. Department of Transportation, crews will shut down the Finch Farm
Road/Old Mountain Road intersection at 9 a.m. Thursday. The DOT plans to reopen the intersection at 6 p.m. July 23, but it could be closed for as long as six weeks, said Jeff Loflin, resident engineer from the DOT’s Asheboro office. “We’ve got a detour that’s pretty long, but there’s not many alternatives,” Loflin said. Once the Old Mountain Road intersection reopens, DOT crews also
will close down the intersection with Kennedy Road for an additional roundabout on Finch Farm Road. That project will take several weeks as well, according to Loflin. Loflin said the DOT hopes to have the Kennedy Road roundabout completed by Aug. 11, just in time for the start of the school year. Last year, the Randolph County Board of Commissioners and Trinity City Council approved resolutions in support of the roundabouts. Roundabouts are circular intersections, where vehicles travel counter-clockwise around a center island, with entering traffic yielding right of way to circulating traffic. Adam Stumb, Trinity’s plan-
ning and zoning administrator, said the City Council endorsed the two roundabouts partly due to the additional traffic from the new Wheatmore High School on Finch Farm Road. “Based on what DOT informed the council, this was the best option as far as slowing down traffic and getting people through the intersection, especially during school hours,” he said. The Finch Farm Road roundabouts were previously a No. 1 priority on the High Point Metropolitan Planning Organization’s list for transportation projects. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Sale raises more than $100K in one day MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

There were some glitches – the power went off in one of the buildings and, Boswell said, some shoppers passed out due to heat. She wasn’t sure how many people shopped at the flea market Saturday.

ered in some areas at 3 percent, the payout could have been $25 million for an entire month. The burden of extended unemployment now means that the ESC, the main job service agency for the state, has had to borrow from the federal government to meet obligations. The current deficit stands at about $2 billion. “We’re not the only state in this situation,” Holmes said. As of the end of May, 33 states have had to borrow from the federal government for their unemployment insurance funds, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. North Carolina won’t have to rely on the state’s general budget fund to repay the federal unemployment loan, she said. “But beyond that, we still have to look at the range of options to determine what we need to do,” Holmes said. Though the job market has improved during the spring, people out of work still have a difficult time finding a job. As of March, there 5.6 unemployed workers for every job opening in the United States, according to Economic Policy Institute in Washington. During a robust recovery, the ratio would be one to two jobless workers for every opening. The House voted in late May to further extend unemployment benefits because of the lingering ef-

Winning numbers selected Saturday in the S.C. Lottery: STOUGHTON, Wis. (AP) – A painter working on a Wisconsin water tower left behind one big typo. The mistake had Stoughton (STOH’-tuhn) residents scratching their heads. The new paint job had the town’s name without the second
T. It was spelled “S-T-OU-G-H-O-N,” rather than “S-T-O-U-G-H-T-O-N.” It turns out a painter from Neumann Co. in Romeoville, Ill., had the correct information but simply forgot the second T when painting the 6foot letters. And the name was
spelled right on one side of the tower. It’s just the side facing town that’s wrong. Painter Mike Sandmire says it was the first time he had made such an error. He added that it would be easily fixed with a new coat of paint.

fects of the recession, said Rep. Mel Watt, D-12th. “There’s not a problem of people not looking for jobs. The problem is there aren’t enough jobs out there for them to find,” Watt said. The continued higherthan-normal jobless situation may compel some people to relocate to another part of the country or shift to another line of work that they normally wouldn’t consider, said Rep. Howard Coble, R6th. “Unemployment is bad enough. But when you have sustained unemployment, which is what we have now, that just compounds the problem,” Coble said. The devastating impact of the recession may cause policy-makers to reconsider how the government responsibility for helping people during hard times falls almost exclusively on the unemployment insurance system, Holmes said. Elected officials, businesses and communities need to decide if unemployment insurance programs alone can suffice during periods of higher-than-normal joblessness. “Frankly, I think it’s a time for us to begin looking at that very question. The last two years have been unprecedented. We’re going to have to take a new look at the purpose of unemployment insurance,” she said.

Singer gives courageous performance T
here was a standing ovation that seemingly never would end. There were shouts of “Bravoâ€? and “Bravissimo.â€? Unlike other performances, there were no shouts of “encoreâ€? encore!â€? High Point’s Grammy award winner and internationally acclaimed tenor Anthony Dean (Tony) Griffey had just given his most courageous performance of his career. He opened and poured out his heart and soul sharing his life’s ABOUT journey at TOWN the Mental Mary Health AsBogest sociation in High Point’s Annual Meeting. When he finished, not a sound could be heard nor a dry eye in the ballroom at the High Point Country Club. The evening went far beyond special. It was momentous! Griffey has such a rare and incredible presence that as soon as he went to the podium the demeanor of the patrons immediately turned from dinner conversation into a certain mesmerization. By this point, it was generally known that Griffey’s father had suffered from schizophrenia and the affect on the Griffey family life suffered immensely as the illness took its toll. He began,“I’ll share a secret. This is the first time that I have told this story.â€? Griffey’s voice broke with emotion as he added,â€? This night is as important to me as any opera debut. I didn’t have a choice in being here tonight. I need to put a face on mental illness. This is a major illness in our world and I need to stop the stigma.â€? The intense quiet in the room was the antithesis of deafening. “I suffer from a mental illness ... depression. Mental illness has clearly and profoundly affected me but at the same time does not define me.â€? Griffey began to share the story of his childhood, the story of living with mental illness, the story â– â– â–

Dunn, one of Tony’s “angels,� and Griffey reprised their performance of “Impossible Dream,� which Griffey first performed at a talent show in his senior year in high school. of “angels� reaching out to a child in need. Just like everyone else in the room, I became quickly entranced by the plight of a child whose home life was falling apart due to the erratic and violent actions of a father. The young Griffey had little opportunity to be like other children. He quickly became the protector of his younger brother and his mother even before he was 10 years old. His father became more distant often turning to alcohol. Griffey’s mother Joyce was loving but also overwhelmed by the family’s plight. As Griffey spoke so eloquently and with immeasurable openess, I found myself too enrapt to take notes as tears began to flow. The Griffey family moved often, and poverty was always at the door as home life with an unpredictable and volatile father was
anything but stable. He was large even as a child and often endured teasing from classmates. Griffey often cited the rhetorical question of “How many angels does it take to save a child?� For this debut of “Singing and Speaking Through the Heart,� one of Griffey’s “angels� was seated at the piano next to him as he spoke. Rachel Dunn although retired and is still known as “Mama Music,� reached out to Griffey when he was in high school at High Point Central.

had ever embraced his amazing son. Griffey’s answer was poignant, “I made peace with my dad and myself. I realized that it was my dad’s illness talking and not him was a huge hurdle in my life that I overcame. I learned to accept the things that I couldn’t change in my dad. My dad is thankful for the things I do and the time I spend with him. I have a very big and forgiving heart. I’m not sure my dad has ever made peace with his illness.

reprise that talent show so many years ago. His bountiful voice easily filled the silenced room. I occasionally glanced over to Griffey’s mother Joyce who looked radiant and gleamed with pride for her son. I pondered what she had endured and overcome through those years because of her husband’s mental illness. She is such a warm and lovely woman – you just want to hug and hug her. As is the plight of the mentally ill, the plight of the MHA-HP has not been an easy one in these economically challenging times. Executive Director Ellen Cochran said that she did not know the future of some of the critical programs. “I have so many concerns for the people we serve. Last year we have had our challenges but we have met them. Tony did an incredible job of putting a personal face on the challenges of the mentally ill. I am very grateful to Tony for his transparency and willingness to be such an amazing voice. We need our community friends more than ever. In the end this is a community issue and support of the people working so diligently has never been more urgent.� That community involvement was recognized before the emotional story by Griffey. Three distinguished service awards were presented at this annual meeting. The award for volunteer service was given to Dean Rucks, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, who as a client has become an advocate for the mentally ill and MHA-HP. The Board of Directors Award was presented to Michael Beaver. Beaver helped to organize a

Government’s full attention must be on oil spill The disaster in the Gulf has just started. It has been two months since the oil well platform sank. The Obama crowd says the blame is on them. And the do-nothing crowd will be saying the same thing for the next 100 years. Right now, the tourists who have been going to the Gulf, are thinking twice about going. So all the people who depend on a crowd to make a living will have to go somewhere else. The people who have a home along the coast are up a creek without a paddle. Or will BP pay everyone for lost wages, lost homes, lost business, etc., etc. The first storm that hits the Gulf will be the beginning of the end. When the winds hit, and the wind and rain carry the oil inland, it will be all over for the Gulf. The four-star Admiral Thad Allen said all the experts say 16,000 to 25,000 thousand barrels of oil are leaking every 24 hours. And I think that is low-balling it. If the truth were told, I’m guessing half a million barrels a day. And then top it all off – with the war and the Gulf – Obama meets with the Duke players in the middle of this.

Do you want government involvement or not? For many weeks it has appeared that the opinion writers in The High Point Enterprise asked our government to get out of their affairs, period. Now, these same writers likely believe our government is doing too little about the BP oil spill. This is an about-face opinion! First, the government is too involved, now, not involved enough! What a fickle-minded society you have become! BARBARA FOSTER High Point
Wadsworth merits support
YOUR VIEW
---
career law enforcement professional in the upcoming run-off election for Guilford County sheriff. That person is Phil Wadsworth. I have known Wadsworth for about 15 years and know him to be an honest, hardworking professional who has been dedicated to serving the citizens and truly has the best interest in mind in that service to the citizens. He has always been easy to work with and conducted himself with honesty and integrity. He is not flamboyant nor egotistical as some sheriffs have been in recent memory. I believe he is the best person to serve as sheriff of Guilford County for the next four years. I encourage everyone to cast their vote for Wadsworth on Tuesday to nominate him as our Democratic candidate in the November general election for sheriff. This vote is very important. That’s why I will be supporting Wadsworth in this decision process because I believe he is the best choice on the ballot. Please help me help him. HARLON COSTNER Greensboro

Some begin to admit failure of Obama’s stimulus plan
in Democratic sheriff runoff
BY TONY MOSCHETTI
Everyone knows that run-off elections are usually a low voter turn-out event. That’s why I am taking this opportunity to voice my support for an experienced,
oes anyone remember the immediate aftermath of the “genius” of hiring a radical, community organizer with zero private sector experience to “fix”
D
our broken economy? There was a chorus from the Obamamedia that GWB should leave immediately to let the Messiah get started “fixing” the economy. In fact, there was an expedited transition to allow the community organizer to “hit the ground running.” Unfortunately, he quickly ran into quicksand! He’s in so deep, that if he continues sinking he’ll be at the same level as the oil leak, and he’ll be able to “plug the darn hole” himself. Before the Kool-Aid drinkers begin their attacks, let’s begin with some facts. First from McClatchy news service, only slightly to the left of the N.Y. Times: “Obama already has overrun and overshadowed the soaring budget deficits and record debt that Bush ran up while he was cutting taxes, launching two wars and expanding Medicare to cover prescription drugs. Gross federal debt in fiscal 2001, Bush’s first year as president, was $5.7 trillion; it was $9.9 trillion in fiscal 2008, his last full year. Obama’s budget projects that the gross federal debt will be $16.3 trillion at the end of fiscal 2012, the last full year of his first term.” So our savior will have done more to damage our economy in four years than GWB did in eight years! But wait, there’s more. The American people have finally caught on to Obama’s fiscal responsibility farce. According to Gallup, federal government debt is now tied with terrorism as the most worrisome issue to Americans. In particular, independents (oops!) identify federal government debt as their top concern, six points ahead of terror. And the latest Pew poll shows
that for the first time ever, more Americans now believe that the president’s economic policies have made economic conditions worse than made them better. And Bloomberg reported recently that President Obama’s policies are poised to increase the U.S. debt to a level that exceeds the value of the nation’s annual economic output, a step toward what some called a “debt super-cycle.” Think Greece! Need more? Watch Nobel Laureate economist Nouriel Roubini: http://www.cnbc.com/ id/37259541/, “In 2006 Roubini predicted the impending housing bust and ensuing financial crisis.” Nope, not done yet: A recent jobs report, which showed private sector job creation fell by 190,000 between April and May of this year, jolted markets worldwide including the Dow, which fell 3.2 percent to its lowest level since early February. The U.S. economy has now lost a net of 2.2 million jobs since the “president” signed his stimulus bill, and is now 7.2 million jobs short of what he promised his $862 billion stimulus would create by 2010. Recently on MSNBC, former congressman Joe Scarborough pressed prominent Keynesian economist and director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University Jeffrey Sachs on whether it was too early to declare Obama’s stimulus a failure. Scarborough had to ask twice, but Sachs finally relented: “Obama’s stimulus failed.” Much more to follow! How’s that hope and change so far? TONY MOSCHETTI lives in High Point.

OUR MISSION
No accolades for doing what they’re supposed to
S
unday was the 100th commemoration of Father’s Day. You know what that means, don’t you? Really nice ties. And when father finishes admiring the ties, saying thank you for the socks and reading the cards, he might open the paper or turn on the TV news and there encounter something else that has become a staple of this day. Meaning the tender, uplifting profile of some heroic single dad raising his children alone. The reporter will relay the tragic circumstance (divorce, death, abandonment) that left him in this situation and the camera will show him dressing the kids for school, combing the daughter’s hair, preparing dinner or doing some other chore more typically done by moms. The viewer or reader will be invited, tacitly or openly, to venerate this singular man. Note that Mother’s Day will bring no corresponding report on the heroic single MOM. This is a column about why. There is, let us hasten to say, nothing dastardly about the disparity. The calculation seems to be that fathers don’t get much
good press overall. Rather, the news where dads are concerned is usually about failure and abandonment, about statistics that say nearly one in OPINION four American kids grows up without a Leonard father in the home, Pitts and about studies ■■■ documenting the dysfunctions we can expect as a result. So Father’s Day becomes a day for news media to counterbalance that bleak picture with laurels and bouquets for fathers who are still doing the job: both as a way to remind us they are out there and to encourage men with evidence of their own necessity. That impulse is honorable. As fatherhood becomes ever more shrunken in the public mind, as it is diminished until it is no bigger than a turkey baster or a child support check, it is good to be shown that there are still fathers for whom the role is larger than that. For all that, though, this staple story of Father’s Day also reinforces a view of father’s role that
is as ubiquitous as it is regrettable. There is, after all, a reason no one does tender and uplifting Mother’s Day features on the heroic single mom raising her children alone. It’s because this is what she is supposed to do. What else is she going to do? Abandon her kids? Run out for milk one day and never return? Skip out from all maternal responsibilities? Women – yes, there are exceptions but we are speaking generally here – don’t do that. They can’t, not if they ever expect to hold their heads up in polite society. We have great scorn for the mother who refuses to be a mom. By contrast, we impose little or no social sanction upon the father who declines to be dad. Consider former Rhode Island Gov. Bruce Sundlun and basketball icons Larry Bird and Julius Erving, whose public esteem was not appreciably affected by the news that they had daughters they had not acknowledged or even been involved with. The point being that a father has choices about whether to be dad. A mother has no realistic choice about whether to be mom.
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
So when you see those profiles of the heroic single father, what you are really seeing is a seal of approval, a social attaboy, that some man made the right choice. Maybe, though, we should begin to wonder at the cultural mind-set which allows him that choice. Again: it’s good to be reminded that there are fathers out there who raise their children and defy the statistics. But the very need for that reminder speaks to how profoundly our vision of fatherhood has changed in the century since Sonora Dodd of Spokane, Wash., organized the first Father’s Day in honor of her dad, a widowed Civil War veteran who raised six kids. By all means, give dad his due. But also understand: there is something cockeyed and sad about an era where you get pats on the back and your picture in the paper for doing what you’re supposed to do.

The double explosions in Helmand province were just two in a series of attacks reported over the weekend across the country. They came a day after a U.N. report painted a grim picture of the security situation in Afghanistan, saying roadside bombings and assassinations have soared in the first four months of the year.

A woman reacts at the site of a car bomb attack in Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday. Twin car bombs exploded near a major square in Baghdad, killing several people and wounding dozens.
The nearly simultaneous blasts knocked the windows out of the three-story building, leaving chairs and desks exposed. They occurred shortly after 11 a.m. as the area was packed with people at the start of the work week in Iraq. Security forces swarmed through the debris while cleanup crews used forklifts to move the charred wreckage of several vehicles. Al-Moussawi said at least 18 people were killed and 42 wounded. But three Iraqi police officials and a doctor at the Yarmouk hospital where many victims were taken put the toll at 28 killed and 57 wounded. Conflicting casualty tolls are common in the chaotic aftermath of bombings in Iraq. The twin bombing capped a week in which about 100 people were killed in bombings and shootings.

SAN’A, Yemen – Yemen said Sunday it has arrested the suspected mastermind of the spectacular attack on the southern intelligence headquarters, which freed detainees and left 11 people dead.

BAGHDAD (AP) – A double suicide car bombing tore through a crowded commercial district near a state-run bank Sunday in Baghdad, killing at least 28 people in the second strike to hit a major financial institution in a week. The attack added weight to warnings that insurgents would try to foment unrest as deadlocked politicians squabble over forming a new government more than three months after inconclusive national elections. The bombers drove two cars packed with nearly 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate toward the gates of the Trade Bank of Iraq building and detonated the explosives after striking the blast walls protecting the building, said Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, the main Iraqi military spokesman for Baghdad.

Man shoots 4, self in fast food restaurant LOS ANGELES – A gunman attacked his stepdaughter’s family as they ate lunch at a California restaurant, killing her husband and 6-year-old son, wounding the woman and another child, and then fatally shooting himself. Jimmy Schlager, 56, arrived at the Del Taco restaurant in San Bernardino on a bike at about 1 p.m. Saturday, walked over to a table and fired several shots at his 29year-old stepdaughter, her 33-year-old husband, and their sons, ages 5 and 6, San Bernardino police Lt.

Fire officials said Sunday evening that a second wildfire is forcing evacuations in neighborhoods north of Flagstaff, Ariz., but could not immediately say how many people were being asked to leave their homes.

Gates: Veto possible of military gay ban bill WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Robert Gates says President Barack Obama could end up vetoing legislation that would lift the ban on gays serving openly in the military. Obama supports repealing the law, and the White House has pushed for quicker congressional action than the Pentagon has favored. Gates also supports repeal.

When blood pressure drops suddenly, the brain is deprived of an adequate blood supply, which can lead to dizziness or lightheadedness. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Candidates for sheriff set for runoff
----
BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – The two political newcomers who emerged from the May 4 Democratic primary for Guilford County Sheriff will face off Tuesday in the only local run-off primary. Phillip Wadsworth, a 60-year-old retired state trooper sergeant, led with 32 percent of the May 4 primary vote followed by the only AfricanAmerican in the race, C.B. Goins, 40, of Greensboro, with 23 percent. The voting eliminated Harlon E. Costner, a former U.S. marshal who got 22 percent, and James Zimmerman Sr., a retired sheriff’s department civil process server, with 21 percent. Because no candidate received 40 percent of the vote, Democrats and unaffiliated voters who cast ballots in the partisan May 4 primary must elect a winner to face Sheriff BJ Barnes in November. Wadsworth and Goins have run low-key campaigns. Wadsworth, a resident of Pleasant Garden, has aimed part of his campaign at improving the lives of young people. He shares similar views with Barnes on drug prevention, jails, the agency’s budget and Tasers. “I like to help people, and I think I can make this a better place to live, especially for young people,” Wadsworth, a security officer, said earlier. Wadsworth wants to create a mentoring program for middle school students and restore the DARE drug prevention program in middle schools. Goins, who uses social media websites in his campaign, has written he would appoint a department advisory committee to help meet the needs of the county. A focus group would visit communities every six months. He also favors mentoring programs for middle and high school students and after school programs designed to teach what is appropriate and inappropriate behavior. “The goal is to be proactive in teaching them the law,” he wrote, “so they can prevent going to jail.” Goins, who did not respond to telephone calls and e-mails from the High Point Enterprise, has been a police officer in Thomasville and an officer at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, according to published profiles. The run-off winner will face Barnes, who easily won the Republican primary over challenger Scott Jones, a Greensboro businessman, with 90 percent of 18,000 votes cast in the race. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Growing gift Community gardeners offer fresh vegetables to shelter BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Last Summer, Tami Hendrix, owner of Meg’s Gifts, found herself with an abundance of vegetables that her garden had yielded. Not wanting the produce to go to waste, Hendrix decided to donate the fresh goods to the Open Door Ministries shelter. That decision has started a summer tradition that continues today, only on a larger scale. Meg’s Community Garden has been operating for two growing seasons, and sees an abundance of what High Point gardeners have to offer. “I started with my own personal garden,” Hendrix said. “I had some extra vegetables that I didn’t want to go to waste, so I started bringing it to the shelter. I realized there was a need there.” The project began to grow as friends, neighbors and other High Point residents
began dropping their extra vegetables off at Meg’s Gifts, located at 205 Neal Place. “The store served as a flagship,” Hendrix said. “They would stop by and ask if I could take their extra vegetables as well. It just grew from there.” “On some occasions, I received enough to fill up the back of a Suburban with the seats down,” Hendrix added. Open Door Ministries feeds upwards of 120 people a day. When donations arrive, they generally come in the form of cans and boxes. “Shelters don’t typically receive fresh produce,” Hendrix said. “They were excited to receive the fresh vegetables.” Squash, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, green beans and corn flow into Hendrix’s business throughout the spring and summer. “Those are typically the most common vegetables we receive because those
Easy money can leave consumers holding the bag BY JORDAN HOWSE ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – In a tough economy, who wouldn’t be happy to make some easy money, but state officials have one warning for residents – don’t be fooled. From counterfeit checks to nonexistent sweepstakes, people in the Triad and across the state lose money every year from various scams, but as some are uncovered, there’s always a new one right behind. Nathan Batts, associate counsel for the North Carolina Bankers’ Association said secret shopper scams are a real area of concern. Secret shopper scams involve asking the consumer to wire money back as a way to evaluate the wire service company. Advancements in print-
Greensboro College’s library director, Christine A. Whittington, published an article highlighting the year’s top new reference work as selected by a librarians’ academic journal. She initially reviewed The Encyclopedia of Human Rights for the Dec. 15 edition of Reference Books Bulletin. For a profile of the book in the May 15 edition of Reference Books Bulletin, Whittington followed up with an interview with Forsythe and Timothy Sachs, development editor for Oxford University Press.
ing technology also have made scams harder to identify. Sometimes the con artists use names and account numbers of real and trusted companies. They also include fraud warnings and consumer protection brochures to make their fake checks seem more real. Batts said con artists always are looking at ways to target the average consumer. “The capabilities of fraudsters are always increasing,” Batts said. “I encourage people who are presented with counterfeit checks to have a conversation with the North Carolina Department of Justice.” The NCDOJ can be reached toll free at 1-877-NO SCAM. Also the Federal Trade Commission can assist with these scams at 1-
877- FTC HELP. Batts advises consumers to be cautious when dealing with foreign buyers and sellers, beware if someone asks to send money quickly, keep good records and protect their privacy because these scams can lead to identity theft. N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper and his staff are helping negotiate national agreements with Western Union and MoneyGram to make it harder for con artists to use wire services to steal money. They also are working with law enforcement across the state, country, and world to investigate fraud rings, and making bankers, wire companies and consumers more aware of these scams.
plants produce a lot,” Hendrix said. In preparation for the upcoming growing season and her personal project to donate to Open Door Ministries, Hendrix expanded her garden. “I planted extra rows just for this purpose,” Hendrix commented. After last year’s growing season, the shelter was eager to see more of the fresh goods. For her first delivery of the 2010 growing season, Hendrix delivered four bushels of vegetables. She said the act of giving provided its own reward, one that she see’s through her own deliveries and vegetable donations she receives from the community. “It’s like a fire that lights and spreads,” Hendrix said. “And it’s still growing.” For more information on Meg’s Community Garden, call Meg’s Gifts (336) 8866347. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

The following are some common scams: Counterfeit check scams can start with a job offer, online resume or sales posts, telemarketing calls, or official-looking letters. The instructions ask the consumer to deposit the check, keep a certain amount, then wire the remainder somewhere else. By the time the bank discovers the check is fake, the money that was wired comes out of the consumer’s account. The sweepstakes scam begins with news that you’ve won a prize unexpectedly. A very legitimate-looking check comes along with the announcement that is supposed to cover taxes and fees on the

prize. After the money is sent, the check turns out to be fake and a consumer is out of up to $1 million. Overpayment scams target people who have posted items for sale on websites like Craigslist and eBay. The scammer claims to be interested in the item then sends a “certified check” for more than the purchase amount. They ask the seller to wire back the overage. In addition to fraudulent checks, some counterfeit bills have been identified in the area. Sears in High Point was hit with two counterfeit $100 bills, which were uncovered the Bank of America branch on Main Street.

turn over as we find new topics to explore.” The center has been gradually rolling out new exhibits over the past year or so. The final pieces open this week: the rain forest, aquarium and Fantastic Frogs, dedicated to the amphibians’ special powers. The result is a building that’s not just a fun, experimental lab for visitors, but for Discovery Place employees, too. They’re eager to see what works, and what people are curious about. The museum can engage people right off the street, with a new glass-walled meeting room called Windows on Tryon, in the former vending area, facing the sidewalk. Joanie Philipp, museum director of major projects, said the new Discovery Place is not just a “kids’ museum,” though it will remain child-friendly. Rather, it’s pitched as an “elegantly eccentric” science and technology museum targeted at ages 8 to 14, like taking a trip with your crazy aunt – who’s cool, quirky, but still OK with mom and dad.
Descendant brings Civil War soldier home 147 years after death LUMBERTON (AP) – He left Robeson County in March 1863 to fight for the South in the Civil War, never to be seen again by his wife and their seven children. Eventually a descendant, Jim Walters, found him and brought him home to be buried near his fallen comrades. It took Walters nearly six years to come to the moment on May 8 when local re-enactors gathered to place a stone with the name Calvin C. Britt in the Norment Cemetery on Fifth Street in Lumberton. “It’s a marker indicating
his place in history,” Walters said. “... It allows his descendants a little bit of peace and closure.” At the wake on May 7, Walters found family he didn’t know existed. “People I’ve seen all my life and I had no idea I was related to these people,” he said. Walters’ trip back in time began six years ago when he learned from Sammy West, a childhood friend, that one of his ancestors fought in the Civil War. Walters asked West if he was kidding. “From there I started digging, uncovered the whole
thing and sort of put it together,” he said. He began following Britt’s paper trail. “Other people were going to the beach and the Bahamas and so on, and I was out stomping around Civil War battlefields, the archives in Raleigh and the records in Richmond,” Walters said. “... You’re talking about years of working, many miles on the road, many hours on the computer plowing through records.” Britt was killed on May 14, 1864, as Union forces attempted to takeFort Darling near
Richmond, Va. He was likely buried on the battlefield, a park ranger told Walters. Walters brought home two 1-gallon buckets of dirt from the battlefield. He had a small concrete vault constructed and received a marker from the Veterans Administration. Britt was buried under the Confederate flag. “I don’t have a body there. I don’t have teeth. I don’t have rings. I don’t have anything tangible that I can look at, say for a factthatthatishim....Calvinisin good company. He is right next to one of his company mates as wellas his commander.”

North Carolina Democratic U.S. Senate candidates Elaine Marshall (left) and Cal Cunningham greet each other prior to a televised debate in Raleigh.
Veteran politician plays outsider in Senate race “I’ve made my career on taking on tough challenges, exceeding expectations, and getting results.� Cunningham, with much less political experience than Marshall, is also labeling himself an outsider. Marshall’s message seems to be resonating with voters. Marshall took 36 percent of the vote in a six-candidate primary last month but needed more than 40 percent to avoid a runoff with Cunningham, an attorney who served two years in the state Senate and received 27 percent. Veteran Democrats said Marshall probably has the edge in the runoff because the electorate is comprised of activists who are familiar with her. With turnout expected to be low, get-outthe-vote efforts will be critical for both candidates. Catherine Vibert, a 49year-old artist, said she agrees with Marshall’s opposition to the troop
surge in Afghanistan. “We shouldn’t be putting more money into that war,� said Vibert, who moved from California to the western North Carolina mountains. Carolyn Biggerstaff, 66, a housing and transportation advocate from Greensboro, supports Cunningham because she feels he has the better chance to defeat Burr. “He’s a powerful speaker. He’s very good at answering questions,� she said. “I felt like he gave (me) real straight answers, too.� The biggest difference in Marshall and Cunningham’s views is on the war in Afghanistan. Marshall says she is opposed to President Barack Obama’s decision to increase troop levels in Afghanistan because terrorist cells are located in other countries. Cunningham supports the surge, citing his arrival in Iraq as a military prosecutor at the height of a troop increase there.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s four-term secretary of state seems an unlikely U.S. Senate candidate to wear the mantle of reformer bent on shaking up the status quo. Elaine Marshall is a former state senator and party stalwart who is 28 years older than her fresh-faced Democratic primary opponent. But in a year in which anti-establishment candidates have won primaries around the country – though typically on the GOP side – Marshall is portraying herself as the outsider in a race against Iraq War veteran Cal Cunningham, the candidate favored by Democratic Party leaders in Washington. The winner of a runoff Tuesday will challenge incumbent Republican Sen. Richard Burr in November. “It’s clear I’m not the status quo, Washington-insider candidate in this race,� Marshall said recently.

O
n a daily basis, kitchen fires are one of the most common types of fires to which we are called. I have talked about this in the past but thought it was time to emphasize the dangers once again. There are three types of kitchen fires: dry cooking fire, oven fire and grease fire, which is FIREHOUSE the most CHAT dangerous. Lee The Knight follow■■■ing tips may help if you experience a kitchen fire. Dry cooking fires happen when liquid boils out of the pot and food scorches, creating smoke. Damage is usually minimal, but the smoke can leave a residue and bad odor that can be difficult to eliminate. Oven fires are usually not serious because the fire is contained in the oven. They’re normally easy to extinguish or go out on their own when the oven door is shut. Grease fires occur from a buildup of oil and grease on the stove or from hot oil splashing onto a hot burner. Under no circumstances should you put water on grease fires. Water increases the size of the fire by splattering the grease, which can cause burns. Never carry a pot of burning oil outside. You likely will spread the fire from the stove to the door, and likely you’ll get burned in the process. Never leave the kitchen with pots on the stove. Don’t fight the fire if the flames are too high. Evacuate the house and immediately call the fire department. The simplest way to extinguish a grease fire is to cover the pot with a lid and turn off the heat, which should suffocate the fire. You can use baking soda to extinguish a grease fire, but it takes a lot to accomplish this. You can also use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, which is effective but will cause a big mess. Try the above tips to control small fires, but never delay calling the fire department. We’re your best resource. If the fire is growing, evacuate the house immediately. Knowing what to do when fire occurs can decrease property damage as well as the chance of injury. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

Causes of shoulder/arm pain make a long list
D
ear Dr. Donohue: I get pain in my upper arms when I raise them to do things like turn on the lights on my medicine cabinet. The switch is at the top of the cabinet, and it really hurts to reach up. When I shower, the pain is so bad that I can raise my arms only halfway up to wash under them. I am sending you a list of the medicines I take. I thought one of them might be the cause of the pain. My doctor doesn’t think so. I am 93. – S.C.
BLONDIE
B.C.
Your list of medicines is impressive. The only one that might be implicated as a cause of muscle pain is Zocor (simvastatin), the cholesterollowering drug. You take a small dose, only 10 mg, so it’s not a prime suspect. I don’t know if your pain is a shoulder problem or a muscle problem. I bet it’s a shoulder problem. One common cause of pain like yours is a tear of the rotator cuff. The “cuff” is four tendons coming from back muscles that wrap around the top of the humerus, the upper arm bone, and keep it in its socket. Tears of the cuff create pain when a person reaches upward or off to the side. Tylenol, anti-inflammatory medicines (Aleve, Advil) or a shot of cortisone into the joint can reduce the pain. Surgery is often the definite answer. Shoulder arthritis is another possibility. Ar-

thritis pain makes itself known when you try to touch your right hand to the tip of the HEALTH left shoulder or left Dr. Paul hand to Donohue the right ■■■ shoulder. The same kind of nonsurgical treatment used for rotator cuff tears works for arthritis. Bursitis, impingement syndrome and many other conditions cause similar pain. If it’s your muscles that hurt, then one consideration is polymyalgia (POLL-ee-my-AL-juh) rheumatica (rue-MATee-kuh). A simple lab test can provide evidence of this condition. It’s treated with a low dose of cortisone medicine. I’m at a disadvantage. I can’t examine your arms and shoulders. Dear Dr. Donohue: My daughter, 50 years old, has had bullous pemphigoid for a year. She has been on cyclosporine, and the rash is almost gone. Can you help us with advice about this disease? – R.D. The “bullous” of “bullous pemphigoid,” in everyday language, is blisters. “Pemphig” is the Greek word for blister. “Pemphigoid,” therefore, describes a skin disease that causes blistering.
The blisters often itch. It’s an autoimmune disease. Your daughter’s immune system is waging a war against her skin. Her medicine reins in the immune system, and she has had a good response to it. Other medicines are available should she experience a recurrence of the illness or an intolerance to this drug. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a male, in my early 60s and in good shape. My blood pressure is controlled with one medicine. My pulse is between 50 and 60. A nurse at work checks my blood pressure and pulse once a week. About two months ago, she felt my heart skip a beat. This was after my doctor’s physical and an EKG. For several weeks after, she sometimes felt the skipped beat and sometimes did not. She said not to worry about it. Should I cut back on my exercise? I jog three to four days a week and play racquetball a few times a week. – J.M. Everyone has skipped beats. They’re really not skipped; they’re extra beats. The extra beat causes a pause before the next regular beat, so it seems like a beat has been skipped. Some people feel a thud in their chest. You don’t need to do a thing. They’re innocent. Ignore them.

Diabetes University Program aims to help patients manage their disease effectively BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
H
IGH POINT – For newly diagnosed diabetics, there’s so much to learn about their disease that there ought to be a school. Actually, there is. It’s called Cornerstone Diabetes University, and it offers an education that can make a huge difference in the students’ quality of life. “A lot of times when patients get the diagnosis, they’re told not to eat sugar and to get more exercise, and that’s it,” says Amy Brian, program coordinator for the university and a doctor of phar-
’We cover everything from A to Z – every topic in dealing with and managing their diabetes.’ Amy Brian Program coordinator macy at Cornerstone Clinical Pharmacy Services, which sponsors the university. “They’re overwhelmed and have no idea how to manage the disease. In the physician’s office, there’s just not enough time to deal with it. But we’re board-certified diabetes specialists, and we cover everything from A to Z – every topic in dealing with and managing their diabetes.” Cornerstone Diabetes University is a four-week course for Type 2 diabetics designed to help them lead a healthier life-

The next session of Cornerstone Diabetes University will begin Tuesday and will be held on consecutive Tuesdays through July 13. Classes will meet from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in the second-floor conference room of Cornerstone Health Care, 1814 Westchester Drive. Class size is limited. For most participants, the costs of the course will be covered by private insurance, Medicaid or Medicare. To sign up or for more information, call Cornerstone Clinical Pharmacy Services at 802-2588 or 802-2040, or send an e-mail to Amy Brian at amy. brian@cornerstonehealthcare.com.
style and make better decisions to lower their risk of complications from diabetes. The classes are taught by doctors of pharmacy and by a licensed dietitian. The program has been accredited by the American Diabetes Association, and classes cover such topics as how diabetes affects your body, how to prevent damage to your body from diabetes, how your medications work, healthy meal planning and exercise recommendations, how to monitor and interpret your blood sugar, ways to manage stress so it won’t affect your blood sugar, how to take care of yourself and your blood sugar when you’re sick, and how to eat out and still make healthy choices. “Behavioral goal-setting is a critical part of the program,” Brian says. “As we talk about patients making lifestyle
changes, we have them set behavioral goals for better managing their diabetes, and then we go through how they’re going to reach those goals. So we make them set that goal and hold them to it. They follow up with us after they complete the university.” The classes also feel somewhat like a support group, though they’re not designed that way. Students share their experiences with one another, and that becomes another learning tool, Brian says. Brian points out that while the classes are ideal for newly diagnosed diabetics, they’re open to anyone with Type 2 diabetes – and spouses are welcome, too. “There’s a lot of new information we learn every day about diabetes and the care involved,” she says. “We find that patients who were diagnosed 20 years ago come because they get current information.” George Ragan was diagnosed with diabetes at least a decade ago, but he has attended the university several times because he says managing the disease is a lifelong process. “It’s not like they can just give you a couple of pills and it goes away,” says Ragan, of High Point. “This is with you for life, and I’m just trying to be proactive.” Treva Pike, of Jamestown, says the classes have helped change her attitude about managing her diabetes. “The hard part is changing your mind from ‘I’m gonna eat as I please’ to ‘I’m gonna eat to live and not live to eat,’” Pike says. “I’m 60 years old, and I’d like to live another 25 or 30 years, the good Lord willing, but I’ve got to do my part, and this class is helping me do that.”

The American Contract Bridge League stages three 10-day North American Championships annually. This spring’s event in Reno drew 12,000 tables. The field in a major pairs event is huge; to win requires luck. In the North American Pairs, Doug Doub-Frank Merblum were East-West. Against three clubs, Merblum led his singleton diamond, and Doub took the queen and ace and led the deuce. West ruffed and shifted to a heart, and South took dummy’s ace and cashed the A-K of trumps. He threw his queen of hearts on the king of diamonds, but when dummy led a low spade next, Doub rose with the queen to cash his queen of trumps. South lost another spade for minus 200.
would always beat the contract two tricks.
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 7 H A 6 5 4 D K 7 6 5 C A K 9. You open one diamond, your partner bids one heart, you raise to three hearts and he tries four diamonds. What do you say?
THIRD SPADE Doub-Merblum got a good score and won the event. They defended well but were lucky also. Declarer must cash only the ace of trumps. When the jack falls, he discards on the king of diamonds, starts the spades, and can ruff his third spade in dummy, escaping for down one. Double-dummy defense
ANSWER: If partner wanted to play at game, he’d have signed off at four hearts. His four diamonds is an ace-showing cue bid to try for slam, and since your values are superb, you must accept. In case you have a grand slam, start with a cue bid of four spades. East dealer Both sides vulnerable
‘Toy Story 3’ finds big play time with $109M debut LOS ANGELES (AP) – Movie fans have not outgrown the “Toy Story 3” gang. The animated sequel about toys that come to life leaped to the No. 1 spot with a $109 million opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. “Toy Story 3” became the third animated film to top $100 million in the first weekend, joining “Shrek
the Third” at $121.6 million and “Shrek 2” at $108 million. “Toy Story 3” took over the No. 1 spot from Sony’s “The Karate Kid,” which pulled in $29 million to raise its 10-day total to $106.3 million. Warner Bros. action tale “Jonah Hex” bombed in its debut with just $5.1 million.
Monday, June 21, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Kris Allen, 25; Prince William, 29; Juliette Lewis, 38; Meredith Baxter, 64 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Education, social networking and developing your skills will all lead to opportunities and a better life. Don’t let your own insecurities stand in your way. This is a great year to let your mind take you on a journey that will change your way of life, enabling you to find the success and happiness you deserve. Your numbers are 1, 8, 12, 21, 27, 36, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the initiative and show others what you have to offer and what you expect in return. Don’t let someone else’s uncertainty or negativity stop you from following your own path. Love is in the stars and a joint effort looks encouraging, emotionally, physically and financially. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put forth an effort to look, feel and do your very best. Changes you make will attract interest from someone with the potential to make your life more interesting. Confidence will play a major role in what you accomplish. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Share your creative ideas and you can join forces with someone offering what you may be lacking. You can get the things you want to do off the ground. Romance will substantiate a personal relationship. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Refuse to give in to blackmail or ultimatums. Groups, conferences or industry events will bring you in touch with people who have something to offer. An impulsive move will turn sour if you have made it for emotional reasons. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t leave anything to chance, especially with personal matters. Life will become complicated if you don’t take care of each issue as it arises. Practicality will be needed to curb an impulsive desire. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Idle time will be wasted time. You have to act fast if you want to take advantage of an offer or an idea. Enthusiasm and an energetic hands-on approach to whatever you do will attract attention. Make the most of every opportunity. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let anyone push you into something you don’t feel right about. Uncertainty revolving around your job, profession or co-workers will leave you feeling uneasy and insecure. Don’t show any signs of vulnerability. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use your power of persuasion to be the driving force in any situation you face at work or at home. You have a lot to gain by being diverse and opening up possibilities to those with less creative minds. Love is on the rise but don’t let it stifle your productivity. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can be the hero if you lend a helping hand to people with less experience. Don’t let negativity or lack of vision in a partnership hold you back. Don’t waste time trying to move the immovable. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are in the driver’s seat, so take action now. You can attract opportunities and proposals that can help you professionally, contractually and financially. Your sincerity will determine the types of people you attract. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep an open mind but don’t be gullible. Make up your own mind. Question a partnership. Emotional manipulation and ulterior motives are apparent. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll have demands put on you but it’s better to be responsible and do your part before moving on to more enjoyable pastimes. Getting involved with a colleague outside of work for other than business endeavors or pleasure will not turn out satisfactorily. ★★★ 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.

Golden Graeme
McDowell captures U.S. Open crown
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) – In a U.S. Open with golf’s biggest stars on the leaderboard, it was Graeme McDowell who played like one. McDowell seized control after a shocking collapse by Dustin Johnson, then failed to get flustered with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els lined up behind him. The 30-year-old from Northern Ireland wasn’t perfect, but he was good enough. He closed with a 3-over 74 to become the first European in 40 years to capture the U.S. Open, getting an embrace on the 18th green from his father. “You’re something, kid,” Kenny McDowell said, speaking for thousands who watched this unlikely Open unfold along the Pacific coastline. It was a final round no one expected. Johnson took a triple bogey on the second hole to lose all of his three-shot lead, and a double bogey on the next hole ended his hopes. McDowell made only one birdie – an eight-foot birdie putt on the fifth hole – and his final round was the highest score by a U.S. Open champion since Andy North in 1985. No matter. It added up to a one-shot victory over another surprise contender, Gregory Havret of France, who shot 72. Poised to end six months of bad publicity over a shattered personal life, Woods bogeyed five of his first 10 holes and took himself out of contention with a 75. Els and Mickelson hung around a little longer, and both had opportunities, but neither could capitalize. Els had a brief share of the lead on the front nine but came undone with a stretch of bogey-double bogey-bogey. He closed with a 73 to finish alone in third. Woods and Mickelson tied for fourth.

SONOMA, Calif. (AP) – Marcos Ambrose had his first career Sprint Cup Series victory in sight when a late caution threw a roadblock into his path. Then his own bizarre gaffe cost him the win. Ambrose stalled his engine while trying to conserve gas late in Sunday’s race at Infineon Raceway, where his car came to a stop while leading with six laps remaining. He restarted and tried to re-claim his position at the front of the field, but NASCAR ordered him back to seventh place and Jimmie Johnson inherited the lead. Johnson then cruised to his first career road course win, while Ambrose had to settle for a disappointing sixthplace finish. “My bad,” the Australian said. “I’m disappointed. It’s NASCAR’s house and I’ll always play by the rules. I don’t agree with it, I don’t like it and that’s only because I lost the race because of it. “I had the motor turned off trying to save a bit of fuel and just had trouble getting it fired again. That’s it.” It was yet another cruel defeat for Ambrose, a road racing ace who has fallen short of victory several times in NASCAR because of various reasons. He was spun by Robby Gordon while leading the Nationwide Series race at
Montreal in 2007, and last year was passed by Carl Edwards in the final turn at the same track. Although he has two career Nationwide wins on the road course at Watkins Glen, he’s winless in the Cup Series despite three top-three finishes in five career road course races. “I feel bad for him,” Johnson said. “It was definitely a gift kind of handed to us.” The four-time defending series champion won for the fourth time this season, but first since Bristol in March – a 10race drought that had many wondering why Johnson was “slumping.” Aside from ending the slump, Johnson more importantly added a road course victory to his resume and knocked Sonoma off the list of five active Cup tracks where he had never been to Victory Lane. But road course racing has never been his strength in NASCAR. He went into Sunday’s race with an average finish of 17th at Sonoma, which caused him to enter two Grand-Am races this season in an attempt to gain extra practice at making right and left turns. Robby Gordon finished second in a Toyota for his highest finish of the season, and series points leader Kevin Harvick was third in a Chevrolet. Defending race winner Kasey Kahne finished fourth and Jeff Gordon took fifth.

Jimmie Johnson celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event on Sunday in Sonoma, Calif.
n a week that saw the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Celtics in seven to take the NBA championship and Pebble Beach provide a picturesque U.S. Open backdrop, a 21year-old rookie pitcher managed to keep his stranglehold on the national spotlight. Much like a 100 mph fastball, Stephen Strasburg mania shows no signs of slowing down. The Nationals’ rookie phenom wowed a sellout crowd that included President Obama on Friday night.

TOP SCORES
Strasburg struck out 10 in seven innings to make it a record 32 punchouts in his first three big-league starts. He did not figure in the decision as the White Sox won 2-1 in 11, but Strasburg figures to stay decidedly the center of the baseball universe for the near future. Strasburg (2-0) dropped his ERA to a miniscule 1.86. He did not issue a walk for the second time in his three starts. But strikeouts remain Strasburg’s calling
card. J.R. Richard held the previous record for strikeouts in his first three big-league starts, collecting 29 for the Houston Astros in 1971. Strasburg features a 100-mph fastball, plus a devastating curve and wicked changeup. That’s a must-see combination. I can’t wait to see what Strasburg does next.

Andre Ward advanced to the semifinals of the Super Six tournament by beating Allan Green by unanimous decision on Saturday night in Oakland, Calif. Ward (220) completely controlled his first defense of the WBA super middleweight title and advanced to the final four of the modified round-robin with one round to go. Green (29-2) lost in his first fight since replacing an injured Jermain Taylor in the tournament. He still can advance to the semifinals by winning in the third round against Mikkel Kessler. Ward won the title when he beat Kessler in the first round of the tournament last November. Ward’s final fight in the round-robin stage of the tournament will come against Andre Dirrell. Ward is assured of a spot in next year’s semifinals but can clinch the top seed with a win.

Braves pinch-runner Brandon Hicks slides home safely as Kansas City catcher Brayan Pena waits for a late throw off a single by Melky Cabrera during the eighth inning of Sunday’s game at Turner Field in Atlanta. Home plate umpire Dale Scott watches the play. The Braves won 8-5 to complete a three-game series sweep.
Braves sweep Royals THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA – Eric Hinske’s tworun double broke an eighth-inning tie and Chipper Jones had three RBIs to help the Atlanta Braves beat the Kansas City Royals 8-5 on Sunday for their fifth straight win. Melky Cabrera added an RBI single in the eighth off Blake Wood (01) for the Braves, who improved to 24-7 at home. Craig Kimbrel (2-0) earned the win by pitching a scoreless eighth. Billy Wagner struck out two in a scoreless ninth for his 14th save in 16 chances.
the Mets to secure a Subway Series split. Sabathia (8-3), denied a shot at a shutout of the season by a 22-minute rain delay in the eighth, allowed four hits. The Yankees and Mets went 3-3 against each other this season. The former Cy Young Award winners matched up at Citi Field last month, with Santana sharp for 72⁄3 innings while Sabathia got knocked around for six runs. But Santana (54) faltered in the third inning this time, giving up Teixeira’s fifth career slam.

les Angels on Sunday afternoon. It was quite a turnaround for the Cubs, who had dropped six of nine and were coming off a 12-0 loss that left fans peppering them with boos.
GIANTS 9, BLUE JAYS 6 TORONTO – Freddy Sanchez, Pat Burrell and Aubrey Huff homered and the San Francisco Giants beat the Toronto Blue Jays for their first win at an AL ballpark this season. The Giants had been 0-5 in interleague road games until winning the series finale. Sanchez hit a three-run homer, ending a drought of 196 at-bats without a home run since last Aug. 4. Burrell added a two-run shot. He has three homers in 41 at-bats since signing with the Giants; he hit only two homers in 84 at-bats before being cut by Tampa Bay.
PHILADELPHIA – Carl Pavano pitched a four-hitter, and Justin Morneau and Denard Span homered to lead the Minnesota Twins past Roy Halladay and the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Sunday. Pavano (8-6) won his third straight start. The right-hander struck out two and walked none in his ninth career complete game and second this season. The only run Pavano allowed came on Wilson Valdez’s sixth-inning homer. He retired the next 13 batters before Ryan Howard’s twoout single in the ninth. Jason Kubel and Joe Mauer had RBI singles for the AL Central leaders. Halladay (8-6) lost his third straight start, giving up a seasonhigh 11 hits while striking out eight and walking none in eight innings.
ST. LOUIS – Kevin Kouzmanoff had a season-high four hits, including a home run, and Trevor Cahill threw six strong innings to lead the Oakland Athletics over the St. Louis Cardinals. The A’s snapped a four-game losing streak with their second win in nine games. Matt Holliday hit two home runs for St. Louis, which went 4-2 on the six-game homestand. Holliday was 8 for 12 in the series with four home runs and eight RBIs. Craig Breslow (2-1) picked up the win with 12⁄3 innings of hitless relief. Closer Andrew Bailey recorded four outs for his 13th save in 16 opportunities. He got Albert Pujols to fly out with runners on first and third to end the eighth. Blake Hawksworth (1-4) took the loss.
PITTSBURGH – Rookie Pedro Alvarez’s sacrifice fly in the eighth inning drove in the go-ahead run and the Pittsburgh Pirates withstood Carlos Santana’s big game to beat the Cleveland Indians. Pittsburgh won its second in a row in the matchup of last-place Central Division teams after dropping 12 in a row – one short of the club’s modern-era single-season record – and 18 of 21. Cleveland lost its sixth in seven games despite Santana’s three hits, including a two-run homer in the first and an RBI double in the third

MIAMI – Josh Johnson outpitched David Price in a matchup of two of baseball’s top starters, Wes Helms hit a two-run homer and the Florida Marlins beat the Tampa Bay Rays. Johnson (8-2) gave up six hits in eight innings, striking out nine, walking none and throwing 87 of his 117 pitches for strikes while lowering his ERA a tiny bit to 1.80. Only a smattering of air horns were heard Sunday, after 15,000 were given out in a World Cupthemed promotion Saturday night that annoyed several players and Rays manager Joe Maddon. Noisemakers are typically banned from the stadium anyway.
WASHINGTON – Paul Konerko drove in three runs, Freddy Garcia won his fifth straight start and the Chicago White Sox beat the Washington Nationals for their seasonhigh sixth victory in a row. The Nationals lost their seasonworst sixth straight game. The White Sox went 8-1 on their road trip and reached .500 for the first time since they were 1-1 in early April. Garcia (8-3) gave up three runs and six hits over seven innings. J.J. Putz got the final three outs for his first save.
SEATTLE – Ryan Rowland-Smith earned his first win of the season, holding Cincinnati to three hits over six innings and leading the Seattle Mariners over the Reds 1-0 Sunday for a three-game sweep. Each team finished with only three hits. It was the best start for Rowland-Smith (1-6) since returning to the starting rotation on June 5. The Reds have lost six of their last seven. Franklin Gutierrez hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth off Aaron Harang (5-7) for the only run.

HOUSTON – Josh Hamilton tied a career high with five hits, including a tying single in the ninth inning and a go-ahead single in the 10th that lifted the Texas Rangers over the Houston Astros for their season-best eighth straight win. Julio Borbon hit a leadoff single in the 10th against Casey Daigle (0-1). After Vladimir Guerrero was intentionally walked with two outs, Hamilton singled off Gustavo Chacin. Chris Ray (2-0) allowed one hit in a scoreless ninth to send it to the 10th. Neftali Feliz pitched a perfect 10th for the save. Houston has lost four in a row.
DETROIT – Max Scherzer pitched seven impressive innings against his former team and late home runs by Brennan Boesch and Carlos Guillen rallied the Detroit Tigers over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Boesch and Guillen hit consecutive homers in the seventh to help the Tigers finish up an 8-1 homestand against NL opponents. Arizona has lost 15 of its last 16 road games. Scherzer (4-6) outdueled Ian Kennedy. Both of them were part of a three-team trade last December that also sent Curtis Granderson to the New York Yankees. Scherzer allowed four hits and struck out eight. Former Arizona closer Jose Valverde pitched the ninth for his 16th save.

SAN DIEGO – Will Venable hit a three-run homer, dashing Jake Arrieta’s bid to win his first three big league starts, and the San Diego Padres rallied from a four-run deficit in the first inning to beat the Baltimore Orioles 9-4 on Sunday. Venable tied his career high with four RBIs for the NL West leaders, who took two of three from the struggling Orioles.
NATIONAL LEAGUE BREWERS 6, ROCKIES 1 DENVER – Rickie Weeks and Corey Hart hit two-run doubles in a five-run ninth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers averted a series sweep by rallying past the Colorado Rockies. With the score tied at 1, the Brewers broke through against reliever Manuel Corpas (1-4), who allowed all five runs while facing five batters without retiring any of them. Trevor Hoffman (2-4) pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the victory.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) – Dustin Johnson learned holding the 54-hole lead in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach isn’t the best position to be in. Much like Gil Morgan 18 years ago, Johnson collapsed on Sunday in the final round of the Open. Morgan held the lead going to the final day in 1992, only to shoot an 81 while Tom Kite played flawless to win his only major championship. Johnson may be remembered in the same way as Morgan. On the verge of becoming the new master of Pebble Beach after consecutive wins in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Johnson finished with an 82 to tie for eighth place. His day included a triple bogey on No. 2, a double at the third and a bogey at four and seven. His threeshot lead from Saturday night was gone by the time he reached the fourth tee. While Tiger Woods was making his backnine charge on Saturday, Johnson was quiet-
ly matching everything the world’s No. 1 player was doing. Both shot 66, but it was Johnson 11 shots in front of Woods heading to Sunday. “I thought after the way he played yesterday if the same guy turned up he was going to be really tough to beat,” said Johnson’s playing partner, Graeme McDowell who held on for a oneshot victory. That lead Johnson brought to his Sunday afternoon tee time vanished in a hurry. “When you saw Dustin made a triple early you knew it was anybody’s ball game,” said Phil Mickelson, who finished in a tie for fourth place, three shots back of McDowell. Johnson played the first seven holes, traditionally the easiest stretch at Pebble Beach, at 7-over par. He conjured memories of Morgan, who in 1992 at Pebble became the first person to reach 10-under par in the history of the U.S. Open, but finished 13th on a windy final day.
Kohl claims Oak Hollow Junior tennis crown ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – Fifth-seeded Sammy Kohl of Wilmington topped fourth-seeded Andrew Vanard of Winston-Salem 6-4, 6-1 to take the boys 18 singles crown at the Oak Hollow Junior State Open on Sunday at Oak Hollow Tennis Center. In boys 16 singles, second-seeded Will Albright of Greensboro outlasted third-seeded Scott Gallimore of Advance 1-6, 6-2, 10-6 for the championship. Top-seeded Kevin Wu of Cary defeated secondseeded Matthew Schinsky of Chapel Hill 6-1, 6-2 for the boys 12 singles title.
Seventh heaven? Federer the favorite at Wimbledon WIMBLEDON, England (AP) – Walking the Wimbledon grounds Sunday, wearing a stylish white jacket with gold trim, his collar turned up for protection from a biting wind, the tournament’s sixtime champion looked like the same old Roger Federer. True, there have been signs of slippage this month. Federer lost at the French Open in the quarterfinals, his earliest Grand Slam exit in six years. Then he dropped to No. 2 in the rankings behind nemesis Rafael Nadal. Then, at a Wimbledon warmup event, came Federer’s second grass-court defeat since 2003, extending his drought of nearly five months without a title. But the All England Club tends to bring out the best in Federer, which is awfully good. He has reached a record seven consecutive Wimbledon finals, losing only one of them – to Nadal in 2008. Last year Federer regained the title, beating Andy Roddick 16-14 in the fifth set of a final that ranked with the sport’s greatest matches. And so when Federer steps onto an immaculate Centre Court lawn for his opening-round match today against Alejandro Falla of Colombia, he’ll again be the man to beat. Tournament organizers acknowledged as much by giving Federer the top seeding even though he’s ranked second. He’ll try to join Pete Sampras and 19th-century champion Willie Renshaw as the only men to win the singles title seven times. Also made for grass are women’s favorites Serena and Venus Williams, who are seeded 1-2 and have combined to win eight of the past 10 Wimbledon championships. Serena, who earned her third title by beating her sister in last year’s final, has tweaked her tournament preparation in anticipation of a visit Thursday to Wimbledon by Queen Elizabeth II.

NASCAR pioneer Parks dies at 96 ATLANTA (AP) – Raymond Parks, owner of NASCAR’s first championship winning car and an integral part of the series’ formation, has died. He was 96. NASCAR said Parks passed away at his home Sunday morning in Atlanta. Parks, who was confined to a wheelchair, attended a reception May 20 for the induction of the inaugural Hall of Fame class and was warmly received throughout the industry that evening. “It was good for the industry and so many current fans to see the man in person,” NASCAR president Mike Helton said at Infineon Raceway, site of Sunday’s race. Helton called Parks “the heart and soul or the spirit that got NASCAR started.” Parks was the last living member of the group of men who created NASCAR in 1947 during a meeting at the Streamline Hotel in Daytona Beach, Fla. He fielded the car that Red Byron drove to the inaugural Cup Series championship in 1949, NASCAR’s first season of competition. “Raymond was instrumental in the creation of NASCAR as a participant in the historic meeting at the Streamline Hotel in Daytona Beach,” NASCAR chairman Brian France said. “Raymond is a giant in the history of NASCAR and will always be remembered for his dedication to NASCAR.” Born in Dawsonville, Ga., in 1914, Parks left home when he was 14 years
old and began running moonshine, which earned him a nine-month stint in the federal penitentiary in Chillicothe, Ohio, from 1936 to 1937 on conspiracy charges. Parks later became a legitimate businessman, and fought in the Battle of the Bulge during World War II as part of the 99th Infantry Division. His business success was built through real estate ventures, vending machines, gas stations and convenience stores, and some of his properties were later sold to Georgia Tech. His NASCAR career began as owner of the first elite race team, which was built with mechanic Red Vogt and Byron behind the wheel. His teams ran only four seasons in the Cup Series – 1949, 1950, 1954 and 1955 – getting two wins, 11 top-five finishes and 12 top-10s in 18 events. Parks at times fielded cars for Fonty Flock and Curtis Turner before eventually pulling out of the sport. The Hall of Fame, which opened last month, features several of Parks’ donated trophies. “I’m proud of my involvement in NASCAR over the years and with the opportunity to partner with the NASCAR Hall of Fame,” Parks said in a statement when he donated his collection last year. Parks was not among the inaugural five members inducted into the Hall of Fame last month.
Kanaan wins Iowa 250 NEWTON, Iowa (AP) – Tony Kanaan overtook Helio Castroneves with 10 laps left and held on to win the Iowa 250 Sunday, erasing three years of frustration at the Iowa Speedway. It was the first win since 2008 for Kanaan, who last took the checkered flag in Richmond two years ago. Kanaan
had crashed in each of his first three starts at Iowa, but he zipped past Castroneves on lap 240 and cruised to victory by over four seconds. Castroneves finished second and E.J. Viso was a career-best third. Penske teammates Ryan Briscoe and pole winner Will Power rounded out the top five.
Danica Patrick finished 10th. Dario Franchitti, a two-time winner in Iowa, had mechanical issues with 50 laps left and finished 18th. Kanaan started the race 15th, but he moved up quickly and took the lead about halfway through the race. He picked up his 14th career IndyCar Series win.
Myers holds off Brown at Bowman Gray ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
WINSTON-SALEM – A little luck helped Jason Myers get close to the front – but it was skill and a strong car that helped him to hang on and win the Renegade 100 on Saturday at Bowman Gray Stadium. Just like all 100-lappers for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modifies Series, the starting lineup for the Renegade 100 was determined by random draw. Jason Myers of Walnut Cove drew the outside pole in a stroke of good luck, with Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg drawing the pole. And to add to the mix, the Double-File “Choice” Restart would be in effect. Jeffreys grabbed the lead as the green flag waved but quickly had to defend his position again when a caution on the second lap brought out the doublefile restart cone. As Jeffreys and Myers played mind-games with each other on the starting line, the No. 77 of Jeffreys was again able to claim the top spot. A double-file restart a few laps later gave Myers another chance to take to the outside. This time, the No. 4 car of Myers ended up winning the drag race into turn one. “I think he spun the tires on the restart and gave me just enough to get in front of him getting into one,” said Myers. But getting to the front was the easy part. Now, Myers had to defend his lead against Reigning Champion Tim Brown of Cana, Va. for five double-file restarts. For restart after restart, the two competitors battled fiercely – sideby-side for laps at a time – while the crowd was on the edge of their seats. Myers performed flawlessly to maintain the lead each time. “Tim was tough. He gave me a heck of a run on the outside there,” said Myers. “All it took was one slip from Tim for me to get inside there to hold the position.”
“Our last five or six weeks here have been pretty bad,” said Brown. “I’m pleased tonight just to be able to put it on the truck with the same suspension parts that we came over here with.” Chris Fleming of Mount Airy finished behind Brown in third. John Smith of Mount Airy took fourth, with Lee Jeffreys claiming fifth. In the Webb Heating & A/C Co. Sportsman Series, Tommy Neal of Walkertown claimed victory in the first 20-lapper of the evening. Ryan Robertson of Winston-Salem and Ryan Nelson of Winston-Salem finished second and third. After the Four Seasons Home Improvement “Madhouse Scramble” sent Neal back to 12th for the start of the second race, Tommy “the Tiger” fought forward up to second place. Neal was shoving the bumper of Taylor Branch of Lewisville, desperately trying to take the checkered and pull off the rare accomplishment of winning both races in a double-header. But Branch was able to tame “the Tiger” and stay in the lead. Tommy Neal took second, with Kevin Neal of Walkertown coming in third. David Sumner of Trinity slipped ahead of Jody Fritts of Winston-Salem to take the win in the 104.1 WTQR Street Stock Series race on Saturday. Billy Gregg of Winston-Salem took second, with Reggie Doub of Germanton finishing in third. In the Time Warner Cable Stadium Stock Series, Adam Baker of WinstonSalem claimed the victory in the first 15-lapper, with Kyle Southern of King winning the second race. The checkered fell just in time for Southern: His car was severely overheating during the last few laps and was spewing out steam as he celebrated in Victory Lane.
Force earns Funny Car victory BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) – John Force regained the points lead with his NHRA-record 130th career win at the 10th annual Thunder Valley Nationals at Bristol Dragway on Sunday. The other winners at the 12th race in the 23-
race Full Throttle Series season were Tony Schumacher (Top Fuel) and Mike Edwards (Pro Stock). After qualifying sixth, Force beat Paul Lee, Matt Hagan and Bob Tasca to reach his 207th career final round where he easily topped Tim Wilkerson.

Ai Miyazato of Japan holds up the trophy after winning the ShopRite LPGA Classic in Galloway, N.J. Miyazato shot a 16-under 197 for the tournament win.
Miyazato wins ShopRite, will take over top ranking GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) – Japan’s Ai Miyazato shot a 7-under 64 Sunday to win the $1.5 million ShopRite LPGA Classic. The 25-year-old Miyazato is guaranteed to take over the No. 1 spot in today’s rankings after her fourth victory of the season. Second-round leader M.J. Hur finished second, two shots behind Miyazato. Fellow South Korean Inbee Park, the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open champion, was a further two shots back. Suzann Pettersen of
Norway, South Korea’s Hee-Won Han and Katherine Hull of Australia shared fourth place at 11 under, one shot ahead of Paula Creamer, who had a spectacular return in her first tournament since surgery on her left thumb in March. Miyazato opened the final round two shots back and needed only three holes to grab a share of the lead. She finished with seven birdies in a bogeyfree round that gave her a 54-hole total of 16-under 197. The win was Miyazato’s fifth on the LPGA Tour,
but her first in the United States. She won earlier this year in Thailand, Singapore and Mexico. Her victory last year came in France. The winner’s prize was $225,000, pushing Miyazato’s earnings this year to $830,238. She will replace Jiyai Shin of South Korea atop the rankings. Shin has missed the last two tournaments after undergoing an appendectomy. Shin took over the top spot after Mexico’s Lorena Ochoa retired earlier this year to focus on starting a family.
Helsey captures N.C. Amateur ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
WILSON – Greensboro’s Ryan Helsey birdied the final hole to cap a recordsetting run to the N.C. Amateur Championship on Sunday at Wilson Country Club.
The 23-year-old UNC Greensboro graduate shot a final-round 64 and captured the title with a record score of 11-underpar 269. He defeated West End’s Sherrill Britt by a stroke. Helsey carded five bird-
ies and an eagle to go with a single bogey in his final round, which was the low round of the tournament. Defending champion Mark McMillen of Smithfield finished tied for 18th at 1-over 282.
Austria’s Wiegele takes Saint-Omer Open SAINT-OMER, France (AP) – Martin Wiegele of Austria has captured his first European Tour title, shooting a 3-under 68 Sunday to win the Saint-Omer Open. Wiegele finished two shots ahead of a group of five players after making four birdies with only one bogey to finish at 7-under 277. Pelle Edberg of Sweden was tied for
second place with Raphael Jacquelin of France and English players Matt Haines, Robert Dinwiddie and Jamie Elson. Overnight leader Elson hit one more birdie than Wiegele on Sunday but hurt his chances with seven bogeys in a 73. The 398th-ranked Wiegele won the Lexus Open in 2007 and the Karnten Golf Open this year on the Challenge Tour.
Brazil rolls into second round in World Cup THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHANNESBURG – Luis Fabiano scored a pair of goals and Elano added another as Brazil beat Ivory Coast 3-1 Sunday to secure a spot in the second round of the World Cup with one match to spare in Group G. Luis Fabiano scored his first goal in six matches for Brazil with a powerful right-footed shot in the
25th minute after a perfect pass by Kaka between defenders. He jumped over defender Kolo Toure before firing into the top of the net from a difficult angle. The victory gives Brazil six points from two matches, and left the Africans with one point and in difficult position to advance from the group stage. Portugal and North Korea play today in Cape Town.

China’s currency rate draws scrutiny BEIJING (AP) – Currency markets will closely watch Chinese exchange rates today to see how far Beijing will allow the yuan to rise after announcing the end of its 2-year-old peg to the dollar. A stronger yuan would make Chinese exports more expensive and bring relief to foreign manufacturers that have been struggling to compete. But Beijing plans to disappoint them, saying Sunday there will be no dramatic rise. Beijing has long refused to allow the yuan to float and denied
accusations that it is unfairly undervalued. But the Communist leadership finally acceded to foreign pressure to increase the exchange rate’s flexibility on Saturday, a week ahead of a G-20 summit at which President Hu Jintao was likely to have been hammered by critics of the currency policy. China, however, is still steering a path to economic recovery, and with workers at home demanding wage hikes – which would also increase the price of exports – the central bank sought to curb speculation of a
major rise in the value of the yuan, also called the renminbi. “There is at present no basis for major fluctuation or change in the renminbi exchange rate,” the People’s Bank of China said in a lengthy commentary Sunday on its decision a day earlier. The statement implied that China considers the current exchange rate to be roughly where it ought to be, and economists said they don’t anticipate big swings in the yuan’s value. Keeping it at a “reasonable, balanced level” would contribute to economic stability and
help restructure the Chinese economy to put greater emphasis on services and domestic consumption instead of exports, the statement said. It said China will rely more on a basket of currencies that includes the U.S. dollar to determine the exchange rate, rather than the dollar alone. China allowed the yuan to rise by about 20 percent beginning in 2005, but halted that two years ago to help Chinese manufacturers weather the global financial crisis. Since then, the yuan’s value
has been pegged to the dollar at an exchange rate of roughly 6.83 to $1. The government sets the rate each day before the start of trading and retains powerful tools to control its movement. Any sudden rise in the yuan could ruin businesses already operating on razor-thin margins and cost job losses. Because of China’s large trade surpluses, the central bank intervenes heavily in the exchange market, buying up excess foreign exchange earnings to keep the yuan’s value from rising.

This 2008 photo showcases a Chevrolet 2009 Cobalt SS Turbo at the Los Angeles Auto Show. GM officials had hoped the Cobalt would help the company break into the small car market, but the model has been a sales flop for the struggling company. Now, officials say they’ve learned their lessons and are gambling on a new model, dubbed the Cruze.
GM makes big gamble on little car ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) – General Motors thinks it can finally sell a good small car. The company, which has a past littered with compact wrecks like the unsafe Corvair and rusty Vega, will roll out the Chevrolet Cruze in September – betting it can attract younger drivers and succeed in the most competitive segment of the worldwide auto market. GM owners may know that “nothing works like a Chevy truck,” but the little Cruze is a big gamble. “They can’t afford to get it wrong,” said Michael Robinet, an automotive analyst with CSM Worldwide in Michigan. The Cruze follows another GM small-car flop, the Chevy Cobalt, which failed because it looks dated, is noisy, has a chintzy hard-plastic interior and doesn’t perform as well as competitors. Americans bought just 105,000
DILBERT
last year, compared with about three times as many Toyota Corollas. GM must also overcome history. Dating to the Corvair in the 1960s, its executives viewed small cars as money-losers because of low prices, high U.S. labor costs and American drivers’ hunger for cheap gas and larger vehicles. “They really haven’t spent any time or money on these vehicles,” said David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports’ auto testing department. The Cobalt, introduced in 2004, “came out trying to be competitive in that market but always languished behind.” That has to change if the Cruze is to help save GM. Champion said the car must be as reliable as the Corolla or Honda Civic, the top-selling U.S. compacts. But dependability has been a problem. Consumer Reports gave its coveted Recommended
Buy rating to only seven of 30 GM models in its April issue, mainly because of spotty reliability. No GM small cars got the label. Last month, on the final drive to check for problems before full-scale Cruze production starts, GM engineers were candid with a reporter about past compacts, saying they were mediocre because GM put controlling costs before all else. As a result, GM missed the small-car boom last decade. Compacts and subcompacts grew from 21 percent of the U.S. market five years ago to 33 percent now. J.D. Power & Associates predicts that will rise to 35 percent by 2013. And small cars are even bigger overseas. When the Cobalt was in development in the early 2000s, GM set out just to make it competitive, not a market leader, said Wayne McConnell, a GM engineer in charge of vehicle perfor-
mance. Ambitious sales targets and plans to attract new buyers were changed after cost estimates were tallied. Customers noticed, bypassing Chevrolet for Corollas and Civics. Now they can spend a little more to make a car better, as long as they work with parts companies to control costs. Convincing drivers may be difficult, though. When Cassidi Brickner, 31, of Winter Park, Colo., started shopping to replace her aging Honda Civic in the spring, she never considered the Cobalt. “The exterior appearance seemed like a basic car that didn’t catch my attention,” she said. Brickner checked out Chevrolet’s small crossover, the Equinox, but decided the interior looked too cheap. She picked a Mazda3 compact because of interior looks and performance.
NEW YORK (AP) – Will corporate profits save the stock rally – or kill it? Most companies won’t announce second-quarter earnings for a few weeks yet. But already Wall Street is buzzing about what might lie ahead. One worry: With investors on edge from bad economic news, the market is riding more than ever on these upcoming reports. “It’s too early to tell if growth is tapering off,” but people are concerned, said Mark Luschini, chief market strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. “If companies disappoint, stocks could retrace their recent lows.” Stock analysts expect companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index to post $184 billion in profits in the second quarter, up 27 percent from the yearago period, then continue to rocket higher. Under their bullish scenario, profits will peak next year.
Can Corporate America do it? The coming week offers clues as to whether the two reports are part of a trend. Among companies announcing earnings: drugstore chain Walgreen Co., software maker Adobe Systems Inc., Nike Inc., homebuilder Lennar Corp. and ConAgra Foods Inc. Anyone looking for more hints in the coming week that things are perking up may be disappointed. The Federal Reserve meets to decide whether to keep interest rates near zero. With the economy struggling, no one is expecting any big moves or statements. Reports on home sales, both previously owned and new, come out Tuesday and Wednesday. Aside from that and the Labor Department’s June jobs report, there’s a relative vacuum of data until profit reports next month.
Australia OKs broadband deal for nearly $10 billion CANBERRA, Australia (AP) – The government and Australia’s largest telecommunications company announced a deal Sunday that clears a major hurdle to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s plans for a superfast national broadband network. The AU$ 11 billion ($9.6 billion) deal will give the government-owned company building the new
network, the National Broadband Network Co., or NBN, access to existing infrastructure owned by Telstra Corp., which controls the only national communications network. The deal means NBN will not have to build its own infrastructure – one of the largest and most expensive parts of the government’s plan.
Mine execs missing after plane crash YAOUNDE, Cameroon (AP) – A plane carrying the chairman, chief executive officer and top executives of an Australian mining firm disappeared into the jungle as it flew from Cameroon to Republic of Congo and rescue
teams were searching Sunday for the aircraft. The aircraft, chartered by Australian company Sundance Resources Ltd., was carrying nine passengers on Saturday from Yaounde to Yangadou in the neighboring Republic of Congo
where the company has a mine, according to a statement released by Sundance Resources Ltd. The statement from the company said those aboard included Geoff Wedlock, chairman for Sundance Resources, and Don Lewis, the company’s CEO.

Celia becomes season’s 1st hurricane

Crews drill deep into Gulf to halt leak ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) – Drilling crews are grinding ever deeper to build the relief wells that are the best hope of stopping the massive oil leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. The crew of Transocean Ltd.’s Development Driller II finished pouring cement Sunday morning on a section of metal casing lining one of two relief wells now at roughly 5,000 feet, said Mickey Fruge, BP’s wellsite leader aboard the rig. When that cement is firm today, the rig’s crew will keep extending the well. BP and government officials say the wells are the best option for cutting off
the gusher that has spilled as much as 125 million gallons into the Gulf since the Transocean drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded April 20.
EMANUEL LINKS ELECTIONS TO GOP SUPPORT OF BP WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is relishing what it sees as “a political gift” – GOP criticism of the administration for pushing BP for a $20 billion compensation fund – and warning of the danger if voters put big business-backing Republicans back in power. With people angry over government spending and corporate bailouts, Demo-
crats face the possibility of larger-than-usual losses in midterm elections. White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel seized on the words of a few Republicans in defense of BP to make a larger point about what a GOP-run Congress might do and what the government’s proper role in regulating business should be. “Do you think BP is the aggrieved party here? Do you think that Wall Street should be left alone and not have any reforms?” Emanuel said. “Elections are about choices. Those are what is fundamental. There is a difference in our philosophies.”
MIAMI (AP) – Celia was upgraded to hurricane status Sunday as it howled toward open seas, away from Mexico’s Pacific coast. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm was expected to gradually strengthen and it already had maximum sustained winds of about 75 mph with higher gusts. The storm is listed as a Category 1 hurricane. Celia was centered about 365 miles south of Acapulco Sunday afternoon, the hurricane center said, and it was moving westward at about 7 mph. That course would take toward the open Pacific and forecasters said it posed no immediate threat to land.

BP: 4.2M GALLONS LEAK A DAY IN WORST CASE NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Newly released internal documents show BP PLC estimated 4.2 million gallons of oil a day could gush from a damaged well in the Gulf of Mexico if all equipment restricting the flow was removed and company models were wrong.
Democratic Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey released the documents Sunday showing BP said in a worst-case scenario the leak could gush between 2.3 million and 4.2 million gallons of oil per day. The current worst-case estimate of what’s leaking is 2.5 million gallons a day.
WASHINGTON (AP) – A Senate sponsor of a climate and energy bill says supporters are still short of the 60 votes they need to advance the legislation. Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut says that about 50 senators support the bill while 30 others oppose it. That leaves 20 or so senators undecided. A major sticking point has been the bill’s approach to carbon emissions, which are blamed for global warming.
