PUMP IT UP: Bodybuilders vie in all-natural competition. 1B

CAUGHT BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – All but gone are the days when all a candidate had to do was pack his car full of signs and brochures and hit the road – pressing palms, speaking to civic groups and going door-to-door to earn name recognition. The Internet has transformed the way politicians campaign, experts say, reaching out to computer-savvy voters through social networking sites such as Facebook and setting up their own websites enabling them to directly reach their potential supporters. “Politicians have used the Internet over the last particularly five or 10 years in order to connect to a new generation of voters, as well as a way to get their message out there in a way they haven’t before in a very cheap way – being able to post up a Facebook page, being able to put up a Web page, being able to send out mass e-mails to people,” said Matthew DeSantis, assistant professor of political science at High Point University. “Those are very, very effective ways of communicating with people for a very, very minimal price. Even candidates who may not have a lot of money in their bank accounts can still have a Web page, they can still have a Facebook page and they can still e-mail people.” In the old days, candidates got volunteers to go out and canvass the community with printed fliers. That cost a lot of time, money and resources, DeSantis said. Politicians are adapting to their techsavvy constituents by using Facebook, a social networking website launched in 2004, and Twitter, another social networking site that allows users to send and read messages known as tweets. “What a Facebook page does is reach another generation,” said Sam Moseley, chairman of political science at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Moseley said interest in MySpace, a social networking website launched in 2003, has faded with the advent of Facebook. “I’d say Facebook has become very dynamic,” he said. “Politicians are

Facebook has really opened up a new generation when you are campaigning.” Social networking sites allow first-time candidates to get their information out in an affordable way, experts say. “People can be players that never could before,” said Allan Louden, director of graduate studies at Wake Forest University. But the Internet has the possibility of not being such a good thing for some politicians because the majority of information goes out in real time. “I think politicians want to jump on making comments so quickly as soon as something happens and because there is a Facebook and Twitter that you are con-

stantly updating, sometimes you can say something and not really think it through all the way,” DeSantis said. “Sometimes politicians have a tendency to take on positions right after something happens that they should have thought through. Sometimes politicians misstep.” While more politicians are using the Internet, experts say the face-to-face touch still is needed. “It’s not necessarily a good way to mobilize people to get out and vote,” DeSantis said. “It’s a good way of giving people information, but when push comes to shove, I think you still need that face-to-face contact.”

Chinese currency change may impact industry BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Furniture company executive Wyatt Bassett said he hopes a debate taking place now about global currency will help him preserve the paychecks of his workers in North Carolina and Virginia. Under pressure from the U.S. government and other Western nations, the Chinese government recently has allowed the value of its currency – the yuan – to moderate. Critics have said for years that the People’s Republic of China has artificially manipulated the value of its currency to keep the price of exports low. Those exports, in turn, have contributed to the loss of furniture manufacturing in the United States, especially the Piedmont and southern Virginia.

Bassett, president and chief executive officer of VaughanBassett Furniture Co. Inc., said a more sincere approach by the Chinese government to the value of the yuan could help his business. Vaughan-Bassett, based in Galax, Va., makes 97 percent of its product in Galax and Elkin in the foothills of North Carolina. “It certainly can’t hurt. I guess the magnitude of how much it helps depends on whether the Chinese government is really willing to let it float to the level it belongs versus a manipulated undervaluation,” Bassett said. If China does continue reforms with its currency, it could help American furniture manufacturers have a better chance at surviving, said Ken Smith, managing partner with the Smith Leonard financial services firm in High Point. But Smith

said he doesn’t envision a large comeback of domestic furniture manufacturing to past levels, such as during the 1980s. “What it does is at least somewhat narrow the gap between the pricing, especially in the case-goods area,” Smith said. A coalition of groups, under the umbrella of the Fair Currency Coalition, is lobbying for legislation in Congress to take action against nations such as China if they are judged to unfairly manipulate the value of their currency for global trade advantage. The Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act, co-sponsored by Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, would subject offending nations to “a countervailing duty or antidumping duty,” according to the legislation.

AT A GLANCE

–

The government of the People’s Republic of China recently decided to let its currency value appreciate against the U.S. dollar. China announced it would give up a two-year-old peg of its currency to the U.S. dollar, allowing the yuan to appreciate in value. The reason the change is potentially significant is that a rise in the value of Chinese currency would make production in China more expensive relative to the United States and also increase the cost of Chinese exports to America. The hope is that a higher value of Chinese currency would allow American manufacturers to have more of a competitive opportunity and put a brake on the offshoring of production to China by American-based companies.

old school. By that I mean bumper stickers, yard signs, letters to the editor. Those are my three favorite means of communicating my political message.” Coble says his methods of campaigning have served him well, but earlier this year the congressman gave permission for his staff to open a Facebook account in his name. Coble, who is running against Salisbury Democrat Sam Turner in November, continues to use his top three ways of campaigning. “The young people now are attracted by social media,” the 79-year-old Coble said. “I figured even though I am old school, I don’t want to be out of step. We agreed to do that and I have no regrets having done it. “Somebody suggested that we have a Twitter,” he joked. “I said, ‘I’m too long in the tooth to tweet, so we dismissed that one.” Turner hopes his use of the Internet will be an advantage for the November election against Coble. “I haven’t had too many speaking engagements, but I’m trying to get all my speaking engagements on YouTube, which is integrated into the website,” he said. “I’m having to run an under-funded campaign because I am so new. I’m trying to get as much information through the Internet because I am not going to be able to afford commercials or radio. The Internet is my sole access to the voters other than personal engagements.” Turner also has links for his Twitter and Facebook accounts on his website. “I’m hoping that the Internet will allow non-incumbents to reach more people,” he said. Thomasville Councilman David Yemm opened a Facebook page last year for the first time during his second run for the City Council. He said he launched the page as way of trying something new and to save money. “I was trying not to spend a lot of time on advertising,” Yemm said. “I was just using another method to get the word out, instead of creating a separate website for the campaign, which I did last time. This time, I just used my Facebook account. It seemed like it made it a little bit easier than doing a regular website with just having regular Facebook page.”

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue says she’s tired of the problems that have plagued the state’s Highway Patrol.

Two other troopers left the force earlier this year amidst allegations of drunken driving and criminal misconduct during a traffic stop.

Democrats wrap up negotiations on NC budget RALEIGH (AP) – Democratic lawmakers tentatively agreed on a final budget deal Saturday that would eliminate a tuition subsidy for some out-of-state athletes and require that a 1 percent cut if extra federal money isn’t delivered. The agreement lays the groundwork for lawmakers to approve its first state budget bill on time since 2003. It also would direct state officials to take money from the rainy day reserve fund and reduce the state retirement system contribution to help close a potential $525 million gap if federal Medicaid funds never come. Congress has backed off earlier legislation that would have given $24 billion to states by extending a more generous Medicaid formula for another six months. “There were no good choices

there,” House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said. He said House and Senate lawmakers didn’t include furloughing state workers in the contingency reducPerdue tion plan. The most significant changes wouldn’t take place until Jan. 1 to give Congress more time to act. The plan is expected to be voted upon by the House and Senate on Tuesday and Wednesday, then presented to Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue for her signature before the fiscal year begins Thursday. Hackney said he’s hopeful Perdue will like initiatives in the roughly $19 billion plan designed to encourage job creation and pro-

tect public education from large cuts. Hackney said the final plan also would create a special transportation fund sought by Perdue. Like both the competing House and Senate budget plans, the final proposal will contain no additional broad-based tax increase and provides no pay raises for teachers and state employees as lawmakers closed what Democrats called an $800 million budget gap. One of the final sticking points was resolved when the Senate agreed to a House position that would repeal a waiver that has treated out-of-state students on athletic scholarships like in-state students at University of North Carolina system schools. It reduced the costs athletic booster clubs paid for the scholarships but cost taxpayers more than $9 million.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – A raccoon described as acrobatic and mean-spirited knocked out power to a section of downtown Memphis that included two hospitals and the newspaper for more than five hours. Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division pres-

ident Jerry Collins told The Commercial Appeal that the raccoon climbed more than 30 feet, over barriers intended to keep animals out, and short-circuited a switch on a substation. Overall, about 8,000 customers were without power late Thursday and Friday.

Emergency generators restored power to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis and Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital within seconds, but the outage delayed production of Friday’s newspaper at The Commercial Appeal and disrupted other businesses.

WILSON – If you happened to be driving through the Five Points area late Friday afternoon, you’d think there was a party going on. Music was playing and hot dogs and hamburgers were on the grill. But beside the snack table was HIV testing paraphernalia. What used to be a candy dish was filled with condemns. Friday was the day Wilson residents celebrated HIV testing day in advance of National HIV testing day, which is today.

Anyone who walked up or drove up could have something to eat, and if they wanted could get tested for HIV or just get information about sexually transmitted diseases. J’Mykel Mirada, 26, walked up with a group of friends after Milton Watson, a volunteer, told him there was free food. “I thought they were giving away boxes of food,” Mirada laughed. “Then when I got here all I could see was the table for the test. I do have unprotected sex, but only with one person. So I think I’m safe because I don’t fool around but I’m just checking.”

Burr, Marshall quickly diverge on economic issues WILMINGTON (AP) – North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr and Democratic challenger Elaine Marshall quickly diverged from each other Saturday on how the government should handle the nation’s economy and debt. In a joint appearance coming just days after Marshall won her party’s nomination, Burr repeatedly highlighted the nation’s $13 trillion debt that’s expected to continue growing. He warned that the United States could soon be compared to countries like Greece that are buckling under the weight of their obli-

gations. “The answer is: Let’s stop spending,� Burr said. He acknowledged after the event that Republicans have been part of the problem. He voted several times for Bush administration budgets that drastically increased the debt. Marshall, however, said cuts alone wouldn’t save the country’s economy. “We’ve got to make appropriate investments – the same thing you would do to make your business more profitable,� Marshall said. “You can’t cut your way into huge profitability.� Libertarian Party nominee Michael Beitler said

the Democrats and Republicans have both contributed to the nation’s debt problems. The forum hosted by the North Carolina Bar Association showed voters distinct messages among the candidates at a time when Americans are grappling with questions about the role of government and regulation following an economic collapse and an ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Marshall pointed to stronger regulation, saying the mentality on Capitol Hill has been that Wall Street will heal itself and that market forces will

take care of things. She said that regulators need more funding, and that businesses have had too cozy of a relationship with the government officials that oversee them. “We’ve seen what happens when capitalism takes over,� said Marshall, a regulator herself as North Carolina’s secretary of state. Burr said government shouldn’t be playing a bigger role with a stronger hand but should focus on regulating the products that were overlooked – such as the complex derivatives blamed in the nation’s economic col-

lapse — and to make sure the existing regulators are doing their jobs. “I fear that we’re headed down a path that will be too overburdensome, too duplicative, it will raise the cost of credit, will choke the credit for small business and for individual loans,� Burr said. They had similar differences on offshore oil drilling. Marshall said lawmakers like Burr had allowed deepwater drilling despite the “disastrous� risks that are now apparent. The well gushing into the Gulf is a deepwater well. Marshall said she op-

poses drilling off North Carolina’s coast. Burr said oil companies had been forced to go into the riskier territory because they were “chased� away from land drilling and shallow water drilling. He said officials need to ensure that deepwater drilling is safe before quickly allowing it to continue. President Barack Obama’s administration had imposed a six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, but a federal judge struck it down. The government is appealing that decision.

Latins in Spain demand train crash probe BARCELONA – Hundreds of Latin American immigrants on Saturday mourned a group of young summer solstice partygoers killed by an express train in northeast Spain, and demanded an investigation into how the accident happened. The victims were hit by the train as they crossed railway lines to reach a beach festival shortly before midnight Wednesday. Preliminary forensic results released Saturday determined 12 people were killed – one less than previously calculated.

Obama, Cameron: Afghanistan in key period TORONTO – President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron say it is critical to get the Afghanistan war right this year. Speaking to reporters Saturday after their first meeting since Cameron took power, the two leaders said their nations have the right strategy in Afghanistan. Obama said at a meeting of industrial and developing nations in Toronto that “this period that we are in is going to be critical.”

North Korea to elect leaders, setting way for heir SEOUL, South Korea – Secretive North Korea said Saturday it will choose new ruling party leaders later this year – a surprise announcement that is intensifying speculation the regime is setting the stage for supreme ruler Kim Jong Il’s youngest son to eventually succeed him. The question of who will take over from the 68-year-old Kim, believed to suffer from a host of ailments, is important because the leader – as presumably his successor would – holds absolute power in the impoverished country, which has active nuclear and missile programs.

United front Obama, top world leaders slam North Korea, Iran at summit TORONTO, Ontario (AP) – Briefly putting aside deep economic differences, top world leaders on Saturday condemned North Korea for the alleged sinking of a South Korean warship, set a five-year exit timeline for Afghanistan and said the standoff in Gaza was “not sustainable and must be changed.” In a joint statement, the leading eight industrial democracies also criticized both Iran and North Korea for continuing their nuclear march and called on both to heed existing United Nations resolutions. The statement was not as strongly worded as some nations had hoped, including the United States, particu-

larly in condemning North Korea in the March sinking of the warship. Russia was cited as a holdout against stronger language. U.S. President Barack Obama said Saturday that North Korea must be “held to account” for its alleged sinking of a South Korean warship, a tough statement of support for an ally, made at its leader’s side. “There has to be consequences for such irresponsible behavior,” Obama said. Street protests involving thousands of demonstrators that had been mild earlier turned violent as black-clad demonstrators set fires, including torching a police

cruiser in the financial district of Canada’s most populous city and smashed windows in a shopping district after veering off from the planned protest route. At the summit meeting, the G-8 leaders – representing the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia – focused Saturday on foreign policy, where it appeared easier to find common ground. This came after they differed on how best to deal with a struggling world economy. The leaders are divided on how best to keep the world economy growing after the worst recession since the 1930s.

Iran cancels plan to send ship to Gaza TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Iran will not be sending a blockade-busting ship to Gaza in defiance of Israeli warnings, an Iranian lawmaker said Saturday, citing Israeli “restrictions.� Mahmoud Ahmadi Bighash told the semiofficial ISNA news agency that instead of sending a ship, an Iranian delegation of lawmakers would travel to Lebanon and sail on one of the aid ships expected to head to Gaza from there. The Iranian ship called “Infants of Gaza� had been expected to sail today for AP Gaza carrying 1,100 tons of Palestinian children hold candles during a demonstration for the memorial of Palestinian prisoners who have died relief supplies and 10 proin Israeli jails, in front of the UNDP building in Gaza City, Saturday. Palestinian activists but

plans were canceled “due to restrictions imposed by the occupying Zionist regime,� Bighash said. Iran made the announcement Tuesday prompting Israel to warn its archenemy to drop the plan. Israel considers Iran a threat because of its suspect nuclear program, its long-range missiles and its support for Lebanese and Gaza militants. Israeli security officials said the prospect of an Iranian boat headed for Gaza had Israel deeply worried, and that naval commandos were training for the possibility of taking on a vessel with a suicide bomber on board.

US to Karzai: New general won’t alter Afghan plan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – America’s top military officer assured President Hamid Karzai on Saturday that newly chosen NATO commander Gen. David Petraeus would pursue the policies of his ousted predecessor, whom the Afghan leader warmly praised for reducing civilian casualties. Karzai’s emphasis on preventing civilian deaths and injuries could make it difficult for NATO to relax rules of fighting that some U.S. troops say give the battlefield advantage to the Taliban. For now, however, no changes have been pro-

posed, said a spokesman for visiting Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. During a 45-minute meeting with the Afghan leader, Mullen explained the events that surrounded President Barack Obama’s decision to dismiss Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander of both U.S. and NATO forces. McChrystal resigned after he and his aides were quoted in Rolling Stone magazine making disparaging remarks about top Obama administration officials guiding the civilian mission in the war.

4 killed in jewelry shop robbery in west Iraq BAGHDAD (AP) – Gunmen raided a jewelry shop Saturday morning in western Iraq, killing four people before fleeing with a large amount of gold, officials said. The brazen robbery is the latest in a string of violent attacks on lucrative targets such as banks, jewelry stores and money exchange houses that have plagued Iraq. Police

speculate that insurgents seeking to replenish their funds may be behind the attacks. Police and hospital officials said six attackers used handguns fitted with silencers during the heist in Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad. The victims were believed to have been the owners of the shop, police said.

US: Turkey must show commitment to West WASHINGTON (AP) – The United States is warning Turkey it is alienating supporters and needs to demonstrate its commitment to partnership with the West. The remarks by Philip Gordon, the Obama administration’s top diplomat on European affairs, were a rare admonishment of a crucial NATO ally. “We think Turkey remains committed to NATO, Europe and the United States, but that needs to be demonstrated,� Gordon told The Associated Press in an

interview this week. He cited Turkey’s v o t e against a United Gordon Nations Security Council resolution on new sanctions against Iran and noted Turkish rhetoric after Israel’s deadly assault on a Gazabound flotilla last month. The Security Council vote came shortly after Turkey and Brazil had brokered a nuclear fuelswap deal with Iran.

Critics dress down NH candidate over bikini event CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – There was an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny problem with a fundraiser planned for a New Hampshire candidate for governor. A spokesman for Republican candidate John Stephen said Friday that plans were being scrapped for a fundraiser barbecue in Nashua that was to feature a bikini contest. The organizer, cigar distributor Victor Vitale, decided to spice up the event on his own and didn’t tell Stephen’s people, campaign spokesman Greg Moore said. All Stephen knew was that Vitale was holding

a poolside barbecue with cigars on July 11 in Nashua, M o o r e Stephen said. “John Stephen in no way endorses this,� Moore said. Stephen removed himself from the event altogether after reporters told him the organizer planned the contest. Still, some Democrats said the plans laid bare that Stephen – a former deputy safety commissioner and former health and human services commissioner – was unfit for office.

Mariane Barbosa, 22, carries a paper mache figure of former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin as she joins dozens of others in a march to protest Palin’s appearance at a fundraising event at California State University, Stanislaus in Turlock, Calif., Friday.

Palin decries ‘Dumpster divers’ at California campus TURLOCK, Calif. (AP) – Sarah Palin leveled criticism at California’s attorney general and others raising questions about her visit to a cash-strapped university, telling supporters that students had better things to do than dive through Dumpsters to find out how much she earns speaking. The former Alaska governor’s headline address Friday night at the 50th anniversary celebration at California State University, Stanislaus has drawn criticism and scrutiny since it was first announced. It also attracted sizable donations for the public school. Officials have refused to divulge the terms of her contract or her speaking fee, and some details only came to light after students fished part of what

appeared to be Palin’s contract from a rubbish bin. “Students who spent their valuable, precious time diving through dumpsters before this event in order to silence someone ... what a wasted resource,� she told the crowd dining in the campus cafeteria. “A suggestion for those Dumpster divers: Instead of trying to tell people to sit down and shut up ... spend some time telling people like our president to finally stand up,� she said. The material recovered by the students, which detailed perks such as first-class airfare for two, prompted California Attorney General Jerry Brown to launch an investigation into the finances of the university’s foundation arm.

Documents show vast cleanup of Plum Island land GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (AP) – Government documents obtained by The Associated Press show extensive efforts since 2000 to remove vast amounts of waste and contaminants from Plum Island, site of top-secret Army germ warfare research and decades of studies of dangerous animal diseases. Yet some environmentalists remain concerned about the secrecy surrounding the 840-acre,

pork chop-shaped island off northeastern Long Island – and they’re dubious of any claims that pollution has been remedied. “We are highly concerned that when the government acts alone they may not be doing the best job,� said Adrienne Esposito, executive director of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment. “Every government cleanup needs the public’s involvement and indepen-

Tiger Woods, wife have options if they divorce

FAMOUS, FABULOUS, FRIVOLOUS

---

FILE | AP

In this Nov. 21, 2009, file photo, Tiger Woods, daughter Sam Woods and wife Elin Nordegren watch a NCAA college football game in Stanford, Calif. Questions on a possible divorce between Tiger Woods and his wife have become the ultimate Internet guessing game.

TV producer fights extradition in Mexico CANCUN, Mexico (AP) – Prosecutors say lawyers for a reality TV producer accused of murdering his wife in Mexico have filed a legal challenge there to try to block his extradition. Mexico Redman has requested Bruce Beresford-Redman’s extradition from the United States. The appeal asks a higher court to consider whether the underlying arrest warrant is valid. Quintana Roo state prosecutor Rodolfo Garcia says the petition arrived Friday.

The Internet has been abuzz over a possible divorce ever since Woods crashed his SUV outside his central Florida home in November, setting off revelations that he was cheating on his wife, Elin. Should a divorce take place, according to several high-profile attorneys, there are a slew of options for both parties. The couple, who have a 3-yearold daughter and a 1-year-old son, would likely divorce in Florida: It’s where their two primary homes are. The state’s laws also make it easier for Elin to file and, because there is no state income tax, claim the most money. Sweden, where she is from, has higher taxes and is not as favorable. The same goes for California, where they also own a home. Florida is a “no-fault� state, which means parties don’t need grounds for divorce – they only need to tell a judge that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.� Florida also has an “equitable distribution� law that requires courts to begin under the premise that assets would be divided equally. But location is not guaranteed.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Questions about how a possible divorce between Tiger Woods and his wife would unfold have become the ultimate Internet guessing game. How much could a settlement be? Where might a divorce be filed? When could it be filed? What would it entail? And on and on it goes in the muddled world of celebrity gossip. In reality, the answers might not be so complex. There are only so many ways to carry out a divorce settlement, experts say. The law provides guidelines that must be followed, and the couple has options to keep private some of the juicy details so many seem to crave. The framework of when, where and how one of the biggest divorce settlements in history would go down might already be in place. There’s even the possibility for the ultimate cliffhanger. “They can keep most any information out of court if they’re both in agreement,� said attorney Raoul Felder, who handled the divorce for former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Airport budget reflects lean times BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – Piedmont Triad International Airport officials continue their cost-saving measures for the third consecutive fiscal year as they cope with the lingering impact of the recession on the aviation industry. The 2010-11 fiscal year budget that the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority adopted Tuesday includes a third consecutive year

of no wage hikes for the airport’s 100 employees and the continuation of a hiring freeze. The airport budget for its fiscal year beginning July 1 anticipates total expenditures of $37.3 million. That’s up 7 percent from the $34.8 million for the 2009-10 fiscal year, but a large portion of the increase is revenue for the recovery costs of the new, nearly 2-mile-long runway that opened in January. Landing and aviation fuel fees are expected to

increase by $2.1 million to recover runway costs, the authority reports. “The cost to the airport authority of the new runway goes into the calculation of the fees this year for the first time,” said PTIA Executive Director Ted Johnson. Other revenue increases are expected through cargo and hangar rentals, the airport authority reports. Reflecting the soft economy, PTIA officials anticipate that passenger board-

ings and parking revenues will be flat during the 201011 fiscal year. Johnson praised the airport authority work force for making adjustments during difficult fiscal times to help PTIA control costs. “With the efforts of the employees, some previously outsourced contracts in the area of facility cleaning and maintenance were taken over by employees of the respective departments,” the authority reports.

Johnson said he realizes he and the administrators of the airport are asking employees to take on more work without pay raises or extra help. But until the aviation business turns upward, that’s the reality PTIA confronts. “Until we see some turnaround in passenger traffic here, we’re going try to be lean and mean for the foreseeable future,” Johnson said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Bodybuilders pump it up BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – It was Kendra Bryant’s first time competing in a bodybuilding show on Saturday. While the Wilmington native was dressed in a bikini with her toned muscles exposed, about to be judged on stage by championship-winning body builders at the 19th annual Natural Atlantic Coast Bodybuilding Championship, she wasn’t about to let her nerves get to her. “It’s just a lot of excitement,” said Bryant while standing in front of a mirror with several other female competitors in a dressing room in the High Point Theatre, where the event was held. “I just want to enjoy the experience and take it all in.” Early judging began at the show at 11 a.m., and the final competition was held at 6 p.m. Approximately 70 men and women strutted their stuff at the show in hopes of receiving a Pro-card, which allows them to compete at a national level and to compete for money. Former bodybuilder Damian Fisher and his wife, Retha, owners of Renaissance Fitness on W. Market Street in Greensboro, organize the show in High Point each year. It’s different from other bodybuilding events because it requires each participant to be drug tested before they are allowed to compete, Fisher said. Bryant said she began contemplating bodybuild-

ing about a year ago when her professional trainer suggested the idea to her. “It’s been a roller-coaster ride,” she said about preparing for the show. “I’ve really found that it’s almost more of a mental process to prepare than it is a physical process.” Other competitors like Jennifer Beck, an account manager for Power Telephone and Supply Company in Lexington, have experience in competing. “I’ve won third place at one show and first place at two other shows,” said Beck, who began working out about five years ago. “You’re always nervous, but it feels so good when you get out there and know that you did that. You’re just really proud of yourself.” The event also attracts about 700 spectators on average. Lori Marler, who drove from Atlanta to see the show, was one of the spectators at early judging. “I came to watch because I will be competing in a different show in July,” Marler said. “I’m so interested in this personally.” Accomplishing personal goals and gaining recognition in the world of bodybuilding are major benefits of the show for Bryant and Beck, but competing in a natural, drug-free environment is also important, they said. “It’s just so awesome to have a competition that is all natural,” Beck said.

Contestants (top) go through a series of poses Saturday at the Natural Atlantic Bodybuilding Championships held at the High Point Theatre. Kendra Bryant (right) has Pam cooking spray applied by Christy Davenport and Melissa Farthing before competing. A row (bottom) of pecs and biceps are flexed to impress judges at the annual event.

Emma Hall Manley Hanner THOMASVILLE – Emma Hall Manley Hanner of Thomasville was a pilot, a mother and a friend. She loved flying more than anything except her children, and sometimes even that was a close call. She loved flying more than a big bowl of Neapolitan ice cream, more than the stash of chocolate candies she kept in the little drawer beside her recliner, more than a good round of golf, or lunch at the K&W Cafeteria, or Saturday night supper and laughs with her friends, Mary Wiggin and Rick and Maria Carreiro. And she loved all those things a lot. But flying was the thing. If she wasn’t above the Earth in her little Grumman airplane, she was reading a flying magazine or thumbing through Trade-A-Plane just in case there was some great deal on another airplane that might make her give up her Grummy for another. She never did. She gave up her airplane at the age of 79 only because she knew it was time, and it may have been the biggest loss of her life, right up there with her divorce from Dr. Lee Hanner, the handsome, black-haired optometrist who asked her to marry him when they were both 23. She says he proposed because he was afraid to go to Germany by himself when the Army gave him his orders. But she loved him, because he was a gentle, fun, 6-foot-4 baby of a man. Lee and Emma came home from Germany in 1953 with a 6-week-old baby named Dale Robert. Emma took care of Lee while he began his optometry practice in Thomasville. In 1957, Emma had Caroline Louise who almost never cried, then in 1959 cherub-faced Rebecca Lee who always made her laugh. Emma died Friday, June 25, 2010, at age 81, not really from the Alzheimer’s that robbed her ability to do the things she enjoyed,

John Newsom Jr. TRINITY – Mr. John Arvil Newsom Jr., 62, resident of 2547 Old Mountain Rd. died June 26th, 2010 at his residence.

but more from a weary spirit. She just didn’t want to be here anymore, and her family can say with smiles on their faces and no trace of disrespect that they are happy that Emma has gone to that great airport in the sky. She was too smart and too independent to suffer the indignities of this creeping, cruel disease. Emma spent only six months at The Stratford at Flatirons, a wonderful assisted-living facility in Broomfield, Colorado, where she was treated with great love and kindness. But her body withered, her appetite disappeared and she became so frail that a bout of pneumonia did her in. But Emma said she had no regrets. She said she’d done the things she wanted to do. In her last days, Emma’s face took on the shiny, rosy-cheeked smile that made her look like the photographs of her when she was a skinny, bigkneed, tow-headed blonde girl with wide blue eyes who grew up in Summerville, S.C., and Asheville, N.C., with her older sister, Mary Louise “Weasel� Rhodes. Emma learned to drive a stick-shift on the steep hills of Asheville and went off to Duke University, where she earned a degree in mathematics. She raised her three children in Thomasville, giving them everything children could want from a mother. When her son took flying lessons at age 15 and

went off to the Air Force Academy, she decided she could chase her lifelong dream of learning to fly. She logged more than 3,700 hours in the air. She was a direct descendant of John and Abigail Adams, and she wasn’t afraid of anything. She worked for an air cargo company, transporting bank checks from eastern North Carolina to Raleigh and flew around the country to teach instrument rating courses to wealthy people. Emma made her friends and children laugh. She gave money to every charity that asked for it. She once found a woman crying outside a bank after fleeing from an abusive husband. Emma paid for her motel room, took her shopping for groceries and hooked her up with a women’s shelter. Emma was loved, and we will miss her. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Lt. Col. Dale R. and Bonita Hanner of Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.; her daughter and son-in-law, Caroline L. Hanner and Dave Monfore of Clemmons; her daughter and son-in-law, Rebecca and Fred Oliva of Westminster, Colo., her sister, Mary Louise Rhodes of Greensboro, her niece, Julie Rhodes Myrick of Greensboro,, her nephew, Chip Rhodes of Littleton, Colo., and her grandchildren, Andrea Hanner of Thomasville, Traci Hanner of Denver, and Lauren, Ryan and Matthew Oliva of Westminster, Colo. Emma was cremated, according to her wishes. Her family will hold a memorial service at 8:30 a.m July 16 at Memorial Methodist Church in Thomasville. Those who wish to honor her may send a donation to Ruff Love Dog Rescue, care of Carol Hanner, 380 Knollwood St., Suite H341, Winston-Salem, N.C. 27103, or the Alzheimer’s Association, 3800 Shamrock Drive, Charlotte, N.C. 28215-3220.

State considers cuts to aviation fleet MCCLATCHHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LENOIR – The North Carolina General Assembly is considering cuts to the state’s aviation program that could affect several agencies, most notably the North Carolina Forest Service. The Program Evaluation Division of the state’s Legislative Services Office has proposed the elimination of about half the state’s fleet of aircraft, primarily as a cost-saving measure for the state budget, under consideration in the House and Senate. If taken as proposed, aircraft from the fleets of the Division of Forest Resources, State Bureau of Investigation, Wildlife Resources Commission,

Highway Patrol, Marine Fisheries, Department of Transportation, Department of Commerce and Area Health Education Centers will be eliminated or taken out of service. The Division of Forest Resources would be impacted more than the other agencies, with the possible elimination of up to 20 of its 38 aircraft (33 that are operational at this time) as well as the shutdown of up to five of the hangars across the state. “They could be cutting our fleet of aircraft by more than half,� Caldwell County Ranger Rusty Dellinger said. “That could have a major impact on what we are able to do in fighting woodland fires.�

Popular golfwear line comes from NC manufacturer CARY (AP) – They remember the mints. When boxes of golf shirts and shorts and other high-end menswear are shipped from the Peter Millar office and warehouse, the packing list includes mints. When customers unpack their orders, they are struck by three things: The quality of what they’ve ordered; each item comes out of the box in the order it’s listed on the packing sheet; and, mints are included for the pleasure of it. It’s a little thing, but this year when a few boxes arrived short of mints (they ran out briefly), phone calls started coming. At Peter Millar, located in a low-profile office park on the southwest edge of Raleigh, the attention to detail, commitment to quality and a North Carolina-grown appreciation of classic menswear has helped catapult the company into one of the hottest brands on the market, particularly for golfers. The only thing missing is Eastern North Caro-

lina barbecue. It’s through golf that the brand has become almost instantly recognizable. It’s what many of the Titleist touring pros wear at tournaments. It’s what the NBC Sports golf team wears. And, it’s what’s the U.S. Ryder Cup team will wear in Wales this fall. The brand is the creation of Chris Knott, who grew up working at a Fuquay-Varina men’s store and attended East Carolina University. Intent on getting into the men’s clothing business, Knott worked in New York and learned quality and style at Hugo Boss and Burberry among other labels before introducing his own brand of cashmere sweaters during 2001. Now, the Peter Millar brand is as familiar to golfers as Foot-Joy and TaylorMade, though it’s much more than a golfwear company. Peter Millar golf shirts range from $78 to $98, a price Knott stuck with even when industry insiders suggested he should ask more per shirt a few years ago.

“I’ve been in the clothing business since I was 14, and I’ve seen everything come and go,� Knott said. “Everything was going super highend and I felt there was a need for a product like ours, something that’s made well and it doesn’t cost a telephone number to buy it.� Sitting inside his office, Knott is wearing khakis, a green golf shirt and flipflop-style sandals. There are fabric samples scattered about and mannequins dressed in samples from the company’s fall collection. Work has begun on the spring 2011 line. Along with Scott Mahoney, who joined the company as president and CEO in 2005, Knott has nurtured Peter Millar into a dynamic player in the industry without surrendering its small company touches. A beagle, with the title of vice president for security, wanders the stockroom where shelves are stacked with boxes of everything in the collection. On Friday, the 55 employees eat hot dogs together at lunch.

Pre-4th SA ALEE-A -AA-BRA RAT AT TION

‘Days of Thunder’ still resonates CHARLOTTE (AP) – “Rubbin’, son, is racin’,� or so said Harry Hogge to a worldwide audience in the summer of 1990, when NASCAR was a niche, regional sport that had yet to pique much mainstream interest. Tom Cruise was into it, though, and that was good enough. Riding high from his “Top Gun� fame, the actor had an idea for a movie based on fast cars and the characters who raced them. And so began the making of “Days of Thunder,� a critically panned summer blockbuster that was largely lampooned throughout the NASCAR industry for its exaggeration and overindulgence. But underneath all that Hollywood glitz and glamour ran currents of truth, and as the film celebrates its 20th anniversary today, it’s still wildly popular with a cult-like following.

“We worked hard to bring audiences right into the thrilling, high-powered world of NASCAR racing,� said producer Jerry Bruckheimer. “I’m really pleased that the film has taken on a life of its own and, like NASCAR, stood the test of time, with a new generation rediscovering the film.� The fan base goes from the viewer who can recite every line in the movie and can’t turn the channel when it pops up on cable, to a current crop of NASCAR drivers who watched the film or played the video game as little boys and knew that’s what they wanted to do when they grew up. “What’s there not to love about ‘Days of Thunder?’ “ Kyle Busch deadpanned when asked what he liked about the movie. So smitten with the movie as a child, NASCAR’s resident bad boy

“borrowed� a character from the film when he rebranded a Truck Series ride from the No. 15 to the No. 51 and had the name “Rowdy� painted above the door. It was an homage to Cruise’s nemesis in the film, Rowdy Burns, a tough-as-nails superstar who ruled the race track. The character was largely based on Dale Earnhardt, while Cruise’s Cole Trickle was a sketch of the late Tim Richmond. Randy Quaid was a slicker version of team owner Rick Hendrick, and Robert Duvall’s crew chief Hogge was, as Hendrick said, “a better Harry Hyde than Harry Hyde ever was. That just blew me away.� Fred Thompson played “Big John� which was obviously a takeoff on NASCAR chairman Bill France Jr., and the scene where Cruise’s Trickle and Michael Rooker’s Burns are summoned down to Day-

tona Beach for a tonguelashing by the boss was a re-creation of an actual meeting France called for Earnhardt and Geoff Bodine. “So many of the things really did happen,� said Hendrick. “They took bits and pieces, they took the characters, they took how I got started – when Randy Quaid went out to talk to Harry about getting back into racing (the opening scene), the car he was driving was my white Caprice. But it didn’t really happen that way: Harry was always after me. So some of the stuff had been changed for Hollywood.� Even some of the dialogue was lifted from reallife situations. “You build me a car, I’ll win you Daytona,� Trickle tells Hogge in trying to convince the crew chief to come out of retirement to work with the hotshot driver.

Widow of Salvation Army shooting victim says goodbye to community LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – A Salvation Army major whose husband was shot to death in front of their children on Christmas Eve says she does not want to leave North Little Rock. Maj. Cindy Wise told about 50 people during a farewell ceremony last Sunday that saying goodbye to Arkansas is the most difficult thing she’s ever had to do. Wise’s husband, Maj. Philip Wise, 40, was fatally shot Dec. 24 after drop-

ping off two bell ringers at the North Little Rock Corps and Community Center on the last day of the organization’s fundraising campaign. His wife was inside, waiting for him. Cindy Wise, 39, said she had asked the Salvation Army for permission to stay in North Little Rock, but was told she would have to go. Usually someone in a leadership position like hers moves every three years, she said.

Etched in stone Carved crosses and letters might be from Spanish explorers in the 1580s ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – Newly found inscriptions depicting Christian crosses and letters etched in stone have been discovered north of the Sandia Mountains – possibly the work of a Spanish expedition that visited New Mexico in the 1580s.

ase mmer ys e l P r su rda ou r Satu e t no rs fo hou

Albuquerque historian and author Mike Smith said he found the etchings this month while exploring a rocky, desert area east of the Rio Grande. New Mexico’s state historian, Rick Hendricks, plans to examine the inscriptions to

verify their origins. Smith said the style of the inscriptions, as well as the weathering they show, suggest the carvings were made by Spaniards who visited New Mexico four decades after Francisco Vasquez de Coronado explored the region in the 1540s.

We must resist government control of the media Regarding Federal Trade Commission regulations “helping” the press: Controlling, training and organizing the press is not the purview of the Federal Trade Commission nor any other governmental organization. We are supposed to have a free press, other than the currently onerous rulings by the FTC (which should be rescinded), and each division or category of press should be left to fend for itself without government “bailing” them out. If they are failing, which some of the print press currently is, it is because they have done something wrong. It is their fault and they should not be supported or “corrected” by any governmental organization. Any governmental

involvement in the press is tyrannical and should be fought tooth and nail. Only dictatorships, communist and socialist countries have a state-run press. The United States of America is none of the above (yet) and the press should be left to its own devices. The free market applies to information as well as goods and can regulate itself. The failure of the print press is an indication that it is doing something wrong and the public is letting them know by not purchasing their product. The same goes for the TV news of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, CNBC, and MSNBC. They are doing

something wrong and the people are voting with their remotes to watch some other venue that gives them the news in a variety of ways that they can stomach. Government control of the media is a progressive tenet and must be resisted at all levels. PHILLIP R. SCHILTZ High Point

I registered my complaint but to no avail

(“I’m shocked station may play Hispanic music”), I just wanted to say that I called the local number for 98.3 to voice my opinion about the station switching to Hispanic music on July 1. After talking to the lady there for a few minutes, she told me she was not happy either, and that she would be losing her job! I felt bad for her and apologized to her. She gave me the number for the corporate headquarters, so I called the corporate office and voiced my opinion. All this lady said was OK! It’s a shame we will be losing our “oldies” music station!

esearch indicates that most of us realize that using a mobile telephone while driving increases a driver’s risk of being involved in a crash. AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety says studies have shown that “cell phone use significantly impairs several aspects of driving performance, principally reaction time.” Even though a “substantial proportion of the American public believes that drivers using cell phones are a serious traffic safety problem,” study results show more than “half of U.S. drivers report having used a cell phone while driving in the past 30 days. One in seven even admits to text messaging while driving.” National Safety Council claims that talking on cell phones while driving is estimated to increase crash risk fourfold and “more than 50 studies have shown that using mobile devices while driving results in about 1.6 million crashes, hundreds of thousands of injuries and thousands of deaths each year.” The National Highway Traffic Administration claims that 11 percent of motorists are using cell phones at any given time and that one of every four accidents can be traced to cell phone use while driving. So what is being done about it? Recognize that no state bans all cell phone use (handheld and hands-free) for all drivers, but many prohibit all cell phone use by certain drivers. But 28 states and District of Columbia have passed laws banning cell phone use by novice drivers and have banned text messaging for all drivers. Seven states (Calif., Conn., Md., N.J., N.Y., Ore. and Wash.), D.C. and the Virgin Islands prohibit all drivers from using handheld cell phones while driving. North Carolina law bans cell phone use by novice drivers and school bus drivers and prohibits texting by all drivers. And what impact have those laws had? The National Safety Council reports a study earlier this year revealed a troubling fact – “cell phone bans and legislations in several states have done nothing to reduce the number of accidents” in states that have enacted such laws. Researchers studied four states that have bans on using hand-held cell phones while driving, comparing accident rates from before the bans were put in place to the months following enactment and no conceivable difference was seen. Conclusion: Many drivers ignore laws that ban such activity. Government can’t do everything for you. Common sense dictates that one should not use cell phones and shouldn’t text while driving because such distraction can cause motorists to miss up to 50 percent of vital information in their surroundings, seriously hampering reaction time. Wise up! Don’t use cell phones or text while driving.

Wow! I thought I had an early start in journalism

A

newspaper carrier at age 10. One of a handful of neighborhood kids who published a short-lived newspaper at 11. After winning an essay contest as a 12-yearold seventh-grader, committed to journalism as a career. At 17, covering sports for pay ($2 per game) for a daily newspaper. Until last week, when Thomasville Times editor Lisa Wall brought me a copy of a story done by Kate Allt of NBC Chicago, I believed I had begun my association with newspapers at an early age. The NBC Chicago story was a television follow on an April 10 story by Rocky Stuffelbeam in the Kewanee, Ill., Star-Courier about 12-year-old Keith Davis, who had become an Illinois Press Association card-carrying journalist. Stuffelbeam OPINION reported that Davis publishes his own weekly paper, the AnTom nawan Times, and also designs Blount and runs his own news website. ■■■ “The Annawan Times hits the street every Thursday and is available, according to Keith, at the IGA in downtown Annawan,” Stuffelbeam wrote. Davis told Stuffelbeam that his newspaper usually has eight pages every week and includes “news, events, advertising, weather, puzzles (including Sudoku), a comic strip and anything else that strikes the 12-year-old’s fancy.” Davis said his brother Kyle, 10, helps with the puzzles. Oops! Forgot to mention Davis started the weekly as The Annawan News in 2007, when he was 9, with a large winter snowstorm that disrupted Christmas travel plans as his lead story. Davis changed the name during the summer of 2008, took a break of several months in 2009, then returned in December. Newspapers from towns “around us don’t really cover a lot of local news,” Davis said. “I had to start it so we can have that kind of news.” Annawan is a village of about 900 just south of Interstate 80, a dozen miles north Kewanee (which sits 50 miles northwest of Peoria). Davis told Allt that he does all the reporting and editing on a computer himself (with occasional help from friends), gets up early to update his website (www.annawantimes.com), works on the content for each week’s paper the week before. He gets the order to the printer each Tuesday, picks up the bundle of papers and distributes some of the papers that are picked up each week by 15 to 20 “customers,” some of whom leave donations. That gives Davis enough money for postage to mail his paper to three subscribers. Davis says he would “rather read a newspaper than look at a website.” Davis’ father, Roger, told Stuffelbeam that

Keith must maintain a B average in school to continue his news-gathering efforts. IPA was founded in 1865 as an organization for Illinois publishers. It has evolved into the largest state newspaper association in the country representing more than 500 daily and weekly newspapers. Allt’s story said Davis petitioned the organization numerous times before IPA, which conducts an examination of a publication ensuring that it meets legal requirements and other criteria before approving membership but, to provide encouragement to Davis, IPA officials waived regulations and, in April, made the Annawan Times an honorary member. Davis received a box full of IPA press cards, notepads, pens, posters, etc. “I didn’t think I’d get all that,” Davis told Allt. By contrast, the North Carolina Press Association, established in 1873, has 46 daily and 145 community newspaper members. Granted, Davis is just one example, but it’s great to see a youngster that enthusiastic about newspapers.

Now, the First, legislators must restore public trust rest of T the story T

he unwanted gusher spewing millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf also seems to be delivering a defining answer to what must have been the most muttered question on that Tuesday back in November 2008: How much worse can he be? But, the reality is that President Obama is just misunderstood. For example, do you remember back when everyone was making fun of Obama for butting in on the affair where a black college professor was arrested by a white police officer while he was breaking into his own house? Yes, the officer didn’t know that the guy breaking into the house actually lived there, and the professor didn’t bother to identify himself, and Obama was just shooting from the hip without any facts. But, the rest of the story is that Al SharpOPINION ton was sick that week, and O was Steve just helping a Bryant brother out. ■■■ And, take that new Arizona illegal immigration extermination proclamation. Yes, Obama’s attorney general declared it unconstitutional even though he later admitted that he hadn’t even read it. But, the rest of the story is that Obama owed that man big time and was just being loyal in supporting him. You see, he was the Cabinet nominee who had actually paid income taxes. And then there was the seemingly broken promise to televise the health care deliberations on C-Span. Bet you didn’t know that there was a national teleprompter drought that made such appearances impossible for our leader. And just this past week, those mean old soldiers were talking behind Obama’s back at the same time he was just about ready, to get ready to threaten to kick the Taliban’s ass. I’m telling you, people don’t understand. But the Gulf oil disaster has been the most unfair of all. For your information, the reason that Rip Van Obama had to wait so long to start dealing with the leak is because he was busy making an excuse for not being at Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day. As soon as that was out of the way, Mr. Transparency got so concerned that he called a news conference. Instead of accepting offers from around the world to help, Obama bought a bag of magic beans. No, just kidding. What he really did was call in sci-fi movie directors, movie stars and a former Beatle to plug the hole (and create a new fall TV series called Demagoging With the Stars). And, since his “talk with our enemies” strategy worked so well with Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong-Il, he had a chat with the BP CEO and told him he was going to kick his ass, too. Well, after that, the two of them became such good friends that the CEO offered to take Obama on a yacht ride and buy him a new set of golf clubs since Obama had gotten some kind of black gook all over his this past month. Now pay attention, because all of you Obama bashers are going to look pretty silly for complaining about him playing so much golf during this crisis when it comes out this week that he has persuaded BP to stop horsing around and plug the darned hole. Personal relationships formed on the golf course really are what drives business these days. Who knew?

he biggest problem facing North Carolina today is trust. We don’t trust those in leadership positions in business, in our churches or in most any sector of life, but nowhere is that breach of trust more evident than in government. We don’t trust that public officials will do the right thing for the common good. We are weary of reports of corruption, of elected officials who say one thing and do another, who give a wink and a nod while favoring special interests and who make every issue partisan and political. The truth is that the only way trust will be restored is for those in government to earn it, but they either don’t understand or are not willing to make the effort to repair that trust relationship. An excellent example of that failure in effort was found last week in our state Senate’s socalled “major” proposals for

ethics and campaign reform. Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt boldly proclaimed, “The days of pay-to-play are MY SPIN over. This is all about good Tom government and Campbell transparency. ■■■ We think government works better when the public can see what’s going on.” But that’s the problem with our current group of legislators. This bill was crafted behind closed doors without public input. When do we get to see what’s going on? Neither was this major reform legislation. While there are some good ideas in the proposal, there wasn’t nearly enough muscle in the bill to get anyone excited enough to champion it against opposition. The highlight appeared

to be a provision to expand public financing of elections to additional Council of State races. At best, this provision is controversial but there is real concern whether it will indeed end pay-to-play. Democrats knew more public financing wouldn’t be acceptable to either Senate or House Republicans. One could speculate Democrats inserted the provision with hopes they could use it as a campaign issue come November, proclaiming Republicans oppose ethics and campaign reform. A robocall campaign, instituted by Americans for Prosperity, resulted in so many calls Democrats had to retreat and pull this “major” reform legislation within 48 hours of introduction. Reforms are badly needed and our politicians know it. There have been enough reform proposals put forth that legislators could easily have some genuine public discus-

sion about the issues. They have had ample time to show North Carolinians they are serious about trying to fix problems with unethical political leaders and with an election system where big money has corrupted the process. Legislators can’t have it both ways. Either they are serious about wanting reforms or they are merely putting on a show. With mid-term elections in November and major statewide campaigns coming in 2012, we hope our lawmakers will choose wisely and make a more serious and more public effort than we saw last week. It is time to restore the public trust.

A sad day McChrystal’s departure sends an unfortunate message to military

T

he flap about Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s “resignation” was nobody’s finest hour. But there are some painful lessons in all this that go beyond any of the individuals involved – the general, the president or any of the officials at the Pentagon or the State Department. What is far more important than all these individuals put together are the lives of the tens of thousands of Americans fighting in Afghanistan. What is even more important is the national security of this country. It is certainly not politic for a general or his OPINION staff to express their contempt Thomas for civilian auSowell thorities public■■■ ly. But what is far more important – from the standpoint of national security – is whether what those authorities have done deserves contempt. My hope is that McChrystal will write a book about his experiences in Afghanistan – and in Washington. The public needs to know what is really going on, and they are not likely to get that information from politicians. This is, after all, an administration that waited for months last year before acting on McChrystal’s urgent request for 40,000 more troops, which he warned would be necessary to prevent the failure of the mission in Afghanistan. He got 30,000 eventually – and a public statement by President Obama about when he wants to start withdrawing American troops from that country. In no previous period of his-

tory has an American president announced a timetable for pulling out troops. They may have had a timetable in mind, but none of these presidents was irresponsible enough to tell the world – including our enemies – when our troops would be leaving. Such information encourages our enemies, who know that they need only wait us out before they can take over, whether in Afghanistan or elsewhere. At the same time, it undermines our allies, who know that relying on the United States is dangerous in the long run, and that they had better make the best deal they can get with our enemies. But the worst aspect of the national security policy of this administration is its clear intention to do nothing

that has any realistic chance of stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons. This may be the most grossly irresponsible policy in all of history, because it can leave this generation – and future generations – of Americans at the mercy of terrorists who have no mercy and who cannot be deterred, as the Soviet Union was deterred. All the current political theater about “international sanctions” is unlikely to make the slightest difference to Iran. Nor is the administration itself likely to expect it to. What then is its purpose? To fool the American people into thinking that they are doing something serious when all that they are doing is putting on a charade by lining up countries to agree to actions

that they all know will not have any real effect. There is another aspect to McChrystal’s “resignation.” Everyone seems to be agreed that McChrystal has been a soldier’s soldier – someone who knows what to do on a battlefield and is not afraid to put himself in danger to do it. Do we need more generals like this or do we need political generals who know how to cultivate Washington politicians, in order to advance their own careers? Some people see a parallel between McChrystal’s “resignation” and President Harry Truman’s firing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur. No two situations are ever exactly the same, but some of the parallels are striking. MacArthur was proud not only of his military victories but also of the fact that he won those victories with lower casualty rates among his troops than other generals had. But MacArthur, too, was not always discreet in what he said, and also had reasons to have contempt for politicians, going all the way back to FDR, who cut the army’s budget in the 1930s, while Nazi Germany and imperial Japan were building up huge military machines that would kill many an American before it was all over. If we are creating an environment where only political generals can survive, what will that mean for America’s ability to win military victories without massive casualty rates? Or to win military victories at all? THOMAS SOWELL, a native of North Carolina, is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

We’ve got to clean out all the politicians BY SHIRLEY DELONG

K

now how to tell when politicians are lying? “When they open their mouths!” Comments being made, and I quote: “Obama says Republicans making life hard for jobless!” Taxpayers know all politicians, all party affiliations, created the jobless mess and depression in America. Taking monies for their own interests from special interest groups, drug, insurance, oil companies (just to name a few) started the decline of America over five decades ago. Social, welfare programs, NAFTA, CAFTA and selling America out only put the icing on the cake!

GUEST COLUMN

N.C. Gov. Beverly Perdue comments: “N.C. coast is ready for oil. We have no reason to believe that it would be anything at all like we’re seeing on TV, as North Carolina is very prepared to deal with whatever comes our way. We have a very state-of-the-art 21st century oil recovery plan in place!” Really? Her husband is an oil man. She knows nothing about “human error” that occurred in the Gulf. Her remarks prove lack of knowledge. Incidentally, since Perdue and the rest of politicians only know how to take

money from companies, let me be the first to point out that oil drilling has been going on in Africa and other foreign countries, by the biggest oil companies in world, for numerous years. Oil drilling in Gulf Coast should have never been permitted! This, too, was another way for politicians to get money from big oil! Could it be that politicians can’t get enough money in their hip pockets from oil companies when they’re offshore drilling? “Doctors ponder ties with Medicare!” It’s time for all doctors, pharmacies, hospitals and private companies to cut ties with government. Like everything else with government involvement, its nothing but downfall for taxpayers!

It’s now a proven fact– taxpayers know it’s time to go back to the pay-as-you-go system. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out! It’s time to sell all politicians a one-way ticket to Gitmo, taking all their assets to pay off the trillions they’ve borrowed without taxpayers consent and to pay back Social Security monies they’ve taken and replaced with IOUs. Don’t forget to send along all local, state, federal prisoners, social, welfare recipients, and anyone that’s taking money they’re not entitled to. This is the only way to take America back!

Jury’s still out Financial pros take wait-and-see attitude on overhaul bill CHICAGO (AP) — Financial advisers and other experts in the investment community reacted warily to news that lawmakers had reached tentative agreement on a wholesale makeover of U.S. financial regulations. The package is probably in investors’ best interest but may have unintended consequences for the firms handling their money, according to numerous financial professionals attending the Morningstar investment conference. Christine McConnell, manager of the Fidelity Floating Rate High Income Fund, which invests in private bank loans, said the overhaul’s passage will lift uncertainties that have left banks reluctant to lend despite recent improvements in credit markets. That reluctance has made it difficult for small businesses to get the financing they need to

grow. “As banks get more information, they will get more comfortable to start lending out money,” McConnell said. “That will help in terms of lending to small business and re-employing the unemployed.” The reform debate has also left corporations cautious about reinvesting their profits to expand their businesses. That could change as well, McConnell said. “It feels like day by day, step by step, more of these things are becoming resolved.” Paul Whaley, an investment adviser at Pinnacle Bank in Beatrice, Neb., said the new regulations are little more than window dressing. He said they fail to get at the root problem, which is separating investment banks from commercial banks. “When they combined investment banks with

HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights of the financial overhaul bill: • A 10-member council would monitor threats to the financial system. • A new independent office would oversee financial products and services such as mortgages, credit cards and short-term loans. • Big banks would have to reserve more money to protect against future losses. • Derivatives are financial instruments whose values change based on the price of some underlying investment. They were used for speculation, fueling the financial crisis. They were traded out of the sight of regulators. The new law would force many of those trades onto more transparent exchanges. • Bank holding companies that have commercial banking operations would not be permitted to trade in speculative investments. • Shareholders would have the right to cast nonbinding votes on executive pay packages. • Lenders would be required to obtain proof from borrowers that they can pay for their mortgages. They would have to provide evidence of their income, either though tax returns, payroll receipts or bank documents.

commercial banks they said it will work with regulation, but there isn’t any,” he said. “It doesn’t appear to me that this new legislation will address that issue.” Many were wary of potential negative impacts from the legislation on big and small players alike. Sanjeev Sardana, chief investment officer of BluePoint Capital Management in San Mateo, Calif., worries about the uncertainty

of the package’s full impact on small investment firms like his. “It’s good that it cleans up the markets,” he said. “But how much is it going to cost us to be in compliance? You want to focus more on managing clients’ money than on audits, consultants, infrastructure.” Gilbert Hine, a businessman in San Antonio, Texas, attending the Morningstar conference as a private investor, said it’s too early to con-

clude that the legislation will be a boon for investors given that financial institution lobbyists had a big influence in shaping it. “A bill that’s 1,000 pages long has probably got a lot of unintended consequences in it somehow,” he said. No matter what’s in the final version, he said, the investment industry is innovative enough to be able to overcome any restrictions and accomplish what it needs to.

Optics Eyewear keeps customers in focus BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT - In a world of big-box stores and major retailers, even an independently owned and operated eyewear store can be hard to find. But the 25-year-old Optics Eyewear, with two locations in High Point, remains one of the few left in the area, as well as one of the few that offers custom services, its owners say. “We’re kind of a dying breed,” said Chuck Swaim, co-owner along with Tom Sparks. “It’s like every other small store being replaced by larger stores. But we’re still here.” Both licensed opticians, Swaim and Sparks bought the business from its original owner, Harry Allen, about six years ago. Allen started the business in a shopping center formerly located beside of Krispy Kreme on N. Main Street. He continues to work part time at the two stores, located at 3911 Fountain Grove Drive and 1105 Lindsay St. Between the three opticians and three other employees, Swaim estimates its workers have about 165 years of combined experience and see 40 to 50 patients a day. The decades of experience is what allows the store to offer unique services today, he said. “In the 1980s, before eye problems were corrected

Chuck Swaim checks the fit of glasses on customer Linda Thompson. by surgery, it was an entirely different process,” Sparks said. “We know what it was like to make those big glasses for major eye problems that are now handled through surgeries.” To fill a patient’s eyewear prescription, Swaim said the opticians try to delve into the personality of that person and what they do each day. “We’re kind of like a pharmacist,” he said. “You bring us the prescription and we tell you what you need. But we also try to drag out what your hobbies are or what you do. Do you play golf every day? Do you work in an office? If I don’t know those things, I can’t help you,” he said. The store performs repairs and also allows customers to reuse their old frames whenever pos-

sible, which is something that major retailers often discourage, Swaim said. The opticians have kept much of the business the same since taking it over from Allen. One aspect in particular that has stayed the same is their involvement in the community. They perform free vision screenings for schools and health fairs, as well as fill prescription for referrals from the Lion’s Club and the Community Clinic of High Point Inc. “It’s just a good feeling to give back,” Sparks said. “When you are 5 or 6 years old, you don’t know to raise your hand and tell your teacher that you can’t see the board.” “We have kids who don’t know they need glasses, and their moms have to hold them down while we first put the glasses on them,” Swaim

SPORTING A HYBRID

----

NEW YORK (AP) — The words “sporty” and “hybrid” don’t often go together. But with the CR-Z, Honda is hoping to shake buyers of the notion that hybrids have to be boring to drive. The good: The CR-Z, a twoseater that goes on sale Aug. 24, looks and drives like a sports car. It sits low to the ground and boasted peppy acceleration and nimble handling on a recent test drive. It also gets good fuel economy: 37 combined city-highway miles per gallon with automatic transmission, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. On the Other Hand: For a hybrid, that mpg is nothing to brag about. Honda’s flagship hybrid, the Insight, gets 41 mpg. Toyota’s Prius is rated at 50 mpg. But the price tag is lower. Honda says the CR-Z will start at $19,200. The Insight starts at $19,800 and the Prius starts at $22,800. Other specs: The CR-Z has three driving modes: economy, normal and sport. Economy is the most fuel efficient, while sport is the most powerful and uses more gas.

the disaster represented a life-changing event for many families. The homes surrounding the site of the TODAY Show remote were under 5 feet of water during the flooding. Since the May 2 flooding, Hands On Nashville coordinated the response of more than 16,000 volunteers at more than 925 project sites around the city. Home furnishings donated by Lexington Home Brands will be brought into a central distribution facility managed by Hands On Nashville, and then allocated to families based on need and individual circumstances.

“We cannot begin to express our appreciation for this level of support,” said Brian N. Williams, executive director of Hands On Nashville. “With the amount of news coverage being given to the Gulf Coast disaster, many are unaware of the dire circumstances we face here in Tennessee. The number of families left homeless, and without the resources to rebuild, is sobering. Lexington’s donation of home furnishings will make a big impact on a very challenging situation.” To view the video of the broadcast, go to TODAYShow.com and type in keywood “Lend A Hand.”

Can’t figure companies out? Here’s why BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

The Great Recession has caused companies to pitch some old values and keep others. This process continues as companies redefine themselves in a changed and changing marketplace. When practices are different and the same simultaneously, how can you make sense of a company’s direction?

WHAT’S NEW Shafiq Lokhandwala, CEO of NuView Systems Inc., in Andover, Mass., brings perspective on last year’s chaos in organizations with 1,000 employees or more. “Companies have been asking themselves how to do more with less and make sure customers get value,” he says. He comments that organizations have been emphasizing managing rather than developing employees because of declining budgets. His research indicates this company demographic is “expecting to hire more this year.” Lokhandwala’s software system has multi-lingual capability for HR departments of global companies. The system aggregates data so that executives know more about skills and training needs for each

Take note that Lokhandwala is finding that not every organization is hiring temps exclusively or even plans to be. Many salespeople will tell you that companies haven’t been hiring or buying products and services. He points out that’s not entirely the case. What will the ones open to new employees and salespeople be looking for? Lokhandwala maintains that companies want: • an understanding of

the business unit or department with which you seek affiliation; • goals and responsibilities that parallel those of the person to whom you report; • clarity about how your area contributes to goals for the entire company; and • commitment. “Commitment?” Yes. Whether you’ll be selling or seeking employment, companies will be looking for people who will last several years. He predicts you’ll serve as “a partner to help

The way you look and dress announces the outcome other people can expect from you. When I overlooked attire and hired people based on their resume, I was always disappointed.” So what’s new and what’s back? Commitment, even if it isn’t for life. Depth for the duration.

Ghana won 2-1 in extra time, advancing to the World Cup quarterfinals. there was no magic left in the Americans. Kevin Prince Boateng put Ghana ahead when he stripped the ball from Ricardo Clark in the 5th minute and beat goalkeeper

Tim Howard from 16 yards. Once again, the U.S. came back, and Landon Donovan tied the score with a penalty kick in the 62nd minute after Jonathan Mensah pulled down Clint Dempsey

streaking in. But no matter how much the Americans pressured after Gyan scored, they couldn’t tie it again. “We had already expended a lot of energy at that time,” Bradley said. “I think we put ourselves in trouble with giving up the early goal again.” In the first-ever extra time World Cup game for the U.S., Gyan got the winning goal when he took a long ball from Andre Ayew over the defense and beat U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra, his teammate on the French club Rennes. Gyan let the ball bounce, took a touch with his chest, and with Jay DeMerit vainly trying to catch up, scored over goalkeeper Tim Howard with a left-footed shot from 16 yards.

Chipper powers Braves ATLANTA (AP) – Chipper Jones’ three-run homer in the seventh gave Kenshin Kawakami his long-awaited first win of the season, but only after the Atlanta Braves escaped a ninth-inning jam to beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on Saturday. Peter Moylan struck out pinch-hitter Johnny Damon with the bases loaded to end it, and Kawakami needed Jones’ help to avoid the first 0-10 start in Braves history. The right-hander trailed 1-0 when he left for a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Jones’ homer off Joel Zumaya (2-1) later in the inning landed about 10 rows deep in the center-field seats and drove in Gregor Blanco and Melky Cabrera, who walked. Kawakami (1-9), perhaps pitching to protect his spot in the rotation, gave up only two hits and one run in seven innings. He walked three and struck out six. Jones’ fifth homer gave Atlanta a 3-1 lead. The Braves pushed it to 4-1 in the eighth when Eric Hinske’s double off Enrique Gonzalez drove in Troy Glaus. Takashi Saito gave up Miguel Cabrera’s 20th homer with one out in the ninth, cutting it to 4-2. With two outs, Saito walked Carlos Guillen and Brandon Inge. Eric O’Flaherty walked pinch-hitter Danny Worth to load the bases before walking pinch-hitter Gerald Laird to make it 4-3.

imbledon takes its traditional mid-tournament break today at the historic All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Barring a rash of rainy weather, Wimbledon always stays idle on the middle Sunday of the championships. I respect that. I wish more sporting events could follow Wimbledon’s lead and take an occasional Sunday off. Over the years, I’ve worked more Sunday shifts than I’d care to admit. Oh, well, I may as well admit it. Factoring in my time at

The High Point Enterprise as well as other jobs from my youth, I’ve worked at least a thousand Sunday shifts. It’s probably closer to 1,100. Like tens of millions of Americans, my jobs have led me to labor on the Sabbath. Don’t get me wrong. I’m humbled by the opportunity to serve our readers for 20-plus years as a sports writer, assistant sports editor and now sports editor. Lord willing, I’ll be able to do this for many, many years to come. It’s just that Sunday is such a sacred day. I

tip my hat to businesses that choose to close on Sundays. I always try to frequent such establishments whenever possible. I know sports and Sundays are irrevocably linked these days. Really, it’s been that way for well over a hundred years. I’m sure I’ll tune in to a baseball game or race or golf tournament before I head into the office tonight. I also hope I’ll pause and give thanks for the true significance of the Sabbath.

Post 87 falls 11-10 at Burlington Post 63 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

BURLINGTON – High Point American Legion Post 87 dropped a hardfought 11-10 decision at Burlington Post 63 on Saturday night. Post 87 fell to 12-7 overall and 10-5 in Area III North play entering Monday’s 6 p.m. regularseason finale at Finch Field against Post 55. Ben Fultz finished 4-

for-5 with three RBIs and two runs for Post 87. He slugged a two-run homer in the fifth for his eighth blast of the season. Teammate Mike Whited went 1-for-4 with two runs and a solo homer in the second, his fifth of the campaign. Andrew Barnett finished 3-for-5 with two runs for Post 87, while David Coffey was 1-for-4 with two RBIs and a run.

U.S. women improve to 4-0 in world softball championships CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) – Lauren Lappin had three hits and four RBIs and Jennie Finch picked up the victory as the United States beat Botswana 21-0 in a game that was stopped after three innings Saturday at the world softball championships. The Americans will have a tougher time today against Australia, which is expected to challenge Japan and the U.S. for the title. Olympic champion Japan de-

feated Cuba 1-0 after a rain delay to remain unbeaten after four games. Japan has allowed only one run at the tournament and is a favorite to challenge the United States, which has won six straight titles. The event ends July 2. In other results Saturday on a day filled with rain delays, Australia blanked the Czech Republic 6-0; China trounced New Zealand 11-0 and the Netherlands edged Argentina 4-3.

Canes add depth during Day 2 of NHL draft RALEIGH (AP) – The Carolina Hurricanes picked up a pair of former first-round draft picks and even more young defensemen during the second day of the NHL draft. As promised, the Hurricanes added some depth on the blue line Saturday by taking two defensemen in the second round and five overall. They also traded for two former first-rounders, acquiring center Riley Nash from Edmonton and defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti from the New York Rangers in separate deals. “Some years, the draft falls your way, and some years it doesn’t,” general manager Jim Rutherford said. “This is a year where we kind of stayed put, we didn’t move around with our picks, and we’re real pleased with the way it fell.” Carolina added a lengthy list of defensemen: Justin Faulk with the 37th overall selection, high school player Mark Alt at No. 53, Harvard’s Danny Biega at No. 67, Austin Levi of the OHL’s Plymouth Whalers at No. 85 and Tyler Stahl of the WHL’s Chilliwack Bruins with the 167th pick. Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos Jr. also owns the Plymouth OHL team, and the Hurricanes have drafted five Plymouth players since 2004. They also took OHL left winger Justin Shugg of Windsor in the fourth round with the 105th pick, and goalie Frederik Andersen of Denmark with the 187th pick, then acquired minor-league center Jonathan Matsumoto from Philadelphia for a seventh-round pick. This year’s draft took on added importance for Carolina, which stockpiled six additional draft picks as the March trade deadline approached, dealing veterans Matt Cullen, Niclas Wallin, Aaron Ward, Stephane Yelle and Scott Walker. The Hurricanes began the day with 10 picks in the final six rounds and traded three of those selections. The 46th selection went to Edmonton for the 21year-old Nash. Taken by the Oilers in the first round in 2007, Nash was a point-a-game scorer in 102 games during three seasons at Cornell. “I just think he has a lot of the things that are tough to teach,” said associate head coach and director of player personnel Ron Francis, whom Rutherford said had kept an eye on Nash. Carolina also acquired Sanguinetti from the Rangers for a pair of draft picks, a sixth-rounder this year and the 2011 second-round selection they had acquired from Washington in the Joe Corvo deal. Sanguinetti, the Rangers’ first-round pick in 2006, had four penalty minutes in five games in his first season with the Rangers. The acquisition of Sanguinetti fits perfectly with the Hurricanes’ philosophy of picking up young defensemen that other teams had drafted high – a list that includes Tim Gleason, Anton Babchuk and Joni Pitkanen – because prospects on defense take so long to develop. “We have several first-round picks at defenseman that other teams took,” Rutherford said. “We’re kind of living off other people’s drafts and getting their development started and jumping in and us getting them at young ages.” Matsumoto, 23, led Philadelphia’s AHL team with 30 goals and 62 points in 80 games. He was acquired for the 206th pick, which Carolina had obtained from Washington in the deadline deal for Scott Walker. Alt, a star quarterback in high school who turned down a chance to play Big Ten football to focus on hockey, is the son of former Kansas City Chiefs tackle John Alt. Carolina previously took high-scoring forward Jeff Skinner in the first round.

Former Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver (4) waves to the crowd after taking the lineup card out before the start of a baseball game between the Orioles and Washington Nationals on Saturday in Baltimore. Members of the Orioles 1970 World Series championship team were honored before the start of the game. At right is Orioles interim manager Juan Samuel (11).

Rays bounce back, beat D’backs THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – David Price pitched eight strong innings to become the American League’s first 11-game winner, and the Tampa Bay Rays bounced back from Edwin Jackson’s no-hitter to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-3 on Saturday. Sean Rodriguez and Jason Bartlett both had two RBIs for the Rays, held hitless Friday night for the third time in the past 12 months. Price (11-3) allowed two runs and seven hits while walking one and matching his career high with 11 strikeouts. Rodriguez keyed a three-run sixth that made it 4-1 by driving in a pair with a single off reliever Sam Demel. Carlos Pena added an RBI grounder. Arizona’s chance at consecutive no-hitters ended early, when Matt Joyce singled off a wild Ian Kennedy (3-6) to load the bases with no outs in the second.

RANGERS 7, ASTROS 2 ARLINGTON, Texas – Ian Kinsler ended a career-long 32-game homerless drought with a tiebreaking shot and Texas quickly rebounded from its first loss in two weeks. Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton extended his hitting streak to 20 games with a single in the sixth inning. Kinsler’s three-run homer off Josh

Banks (0-1) in the fourth snapped a 2-all tie. It was only his second homer of the season and first since May 18, the day after manager Ron Washington moved Kinsler to the No. 3 spot in the batting order and dropped Hamilton to fifth. AL West-leading Texas is 19-5 in June, which included a major league-best 11-game winning streak before a 7-4 loss to Houston in the series opener Friday night.

TWINS 6, METS 0 NEW YORK – Jason Kubel and the Minnesota Twins roughed up former teammate Johan Santana early, and Carl Pavano produced another fine pitching performance. Pavano (9-6) gave up three hits in his second consecutive complete game, both of which have come against an NL East ace. The welltraveled right-hander tossed a fourhitter Sunday to beat Roy Halladay and the NL champion Phillies 4-1.

BLUE JAYS 5, PHILLIES 1 PHILADELPHIA – John Buck, Aaron Hill and Alex Gonzalez homered and Shaun Marcum (7-3) pitched six solid innings. Marcum allowed one run and five hits while striking out six and walking one. The right-hander improved to 7-1 in nine starts following a Blue Jays defeat, the latest victory coming on the heels of Friday night’s 9-0 loss to the Phillies and former Toronto ace Roy Halladay. The game was the second in a series that was moved from Toronto to Philadelphia because of the G20 Summit. The Blue Jays wore their home, alternate black uniforms and batted second, while the Phillies wore their road grays.

Broken left foot sidelines Pedroia SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a broken left foot. The 2008 AL MVP fouled a ball off his foot during Friday night’s 5-4 loss to San Francisco and was removed from the game. Red Sox manager Terry Francona said tests Saturday revealed a non-displaced

fracture in the middle of Pedroia’s left foot. It’s a major blow to the Red Sox, who began the day tied with Tampa Bay for second place in the AL East, three games behind the New York Yankees. Bill Hall was in the starting lineup at second base Saturday against the Giants. Boston also called up infielder Angel Sanchez from TripleA Pawtucket.

Pedroia was on crutches Saturday, wearing a walking boot. Francona said the Red Sox sent scans of his foot to their team doctors, and the two-time All-Star will be examined in person Monday. Pedroia hit three home runs Thursday night, including a tiebreaking shot in the 10th inning, and went 5 for 5 with five RBIs in a victory at Colorado.

UCLA storms into CWS finals OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Trevor Bauer limited TCU to four hits and struck out 13 in eight innings and Blair Dunlap hit a three-run homer Saturday, leading UCLA to a 10-3 victory that sends the Bruins to the College World Series finals and the Horned Frogs home. UCLA (51-15), which hadn’t won a game in two previous CWS appearances, will play the winner of Saturday night’s late South Carolina-Clemson Bracket 2 final in the best-of-three finals starting Monday. Aside from Bryan Holaday’s two home runs for TCU, Bauer (12-3) dominated a lineup that was batting a CWS-best .337. The Frogs finished the year 54-14. UCLA roughed up TCU starter Kyle Winkler (12-3) for the second straight game. He didn’t record an out, hitting leadoff man Beau Amaral and giving up a single to Niko Gallego before Dunlap homered to left to help the Bruins get out to a 5-1 lead. Dean Espy homered off Kaleb

Merck leading off the seventh as the Bruins won going away. Bauer and the Bruins weathered Omaha’s hottest day of the year. The temperature was 94 degrees with a heat index, or feel-like temperature, of 107 degrees by the seventh inning. A thermometer on the field measured the temperature at 109. Home-plate umpire Jim Jackson and second-base umpire Mark Ditsworth had to be treated for heat issues during the game. Bauer’s 13 strikeouts raised his season total to a nation-leading 165. He has 10 or more strikeouts in eight of his 18 starts and has pitched seven or more innings in 15. The quirky sophomore in the faded hat turned in his second straight impressive performance. In the Bruins’ CWS opener against Florida last Saturday, he recorded 11 strikeouts in seven innings, allowing three runs and six hits in an 11-3 win. Bauer struck out Jerome Pena to start the game before Holaday

hit the first of his two home runs. Holaday finished with four homers in five CWS games and 17 for the season. Holaday’s first homer off Bauer went deep into the left-field bleachers. His second glanced off a fan in the first row, over leaping center fielder Amaral, and dropped back onto the field. Bauer, with his fastball hitting the low to mid 90s, allowed only one more base runner, and that was on a walk. He struck out the last four batters he faced before Daniel Klein came on to pitch a scoreless ninth. TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle had a short leash on Winkler. He was hoping to bounce back from rough outing against UCLA on Monday, when he allowed five runs on six hits over 22⁄3 innings in what, until Saturday, was his shortest outing of the season. But after giving up the home run to Dunlap, Schlossnagle went to Paul Gerrish, who allowed three runs on five hits and two walks in 11⁄3 innings.

Race for Chase heats up at Loudon LOUDON, N.H. (AP) – The Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship traditionally kicks off at New Hampshire. So does the 10-race sprint to make the 12-driver field. When drivers return here in September, they hope they are gearing up for a championship run. With only 10 races left until the field is set, the pressure is revved up for those around the cutoff mark. Carl Edwards is clinging to 12th place entering today’s race, only 57 points ahead of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman are lurking behind Junior. Don’t count out pole sitter Juan Pablo Montoya or even David Reutimann among the small group of drivers who have a lugnut-size margin of error this summer. “I feel like we’ve got a chance,” Reutimann said Saturday. “We just need topfives everywhere we go.” Oh, no pressure.

Points leader Kevin Harvick, fourtime defending champion Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin have their spots all but secured. It would take a string of disastrous DNF performances to knock out NASCAR’s elite drivers. From about ninth in the standings on down, anything can happen. Tony Stewart, a two-time Cup champion, is 10th and understands how fragile his spot can be down the stretch. “If you are ninth through 12th right now, you are worrying about just making sure you have enough points to be in it and go from there,” he said. Earnhardt wants to make that field as long as he feels he can realistically compete for his first career Cup title. He’s coming off his best two back-to-back races of the season and believes his No. 88 Chevrolet can still find more speed to stamp themselves as a legitimate Chase threat. “We’ve still got a long ways to go,

man,” Earnhardt said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do to get better and get more competitive. I feel like we’re starting to be able to contend, but we’ve got a lot of speed to find.” Earnhardt, long NASCAR’s most popular driver, missed the Chase last year and finished a disappointing 25th. He’s made the Chase three times and twice finished as high as fifth in 2004 and 2006. He hasn’t been much of a threat to win, much less a championship contender, the last four years. Earnhardt has gone 73 straight races without a victory. Earnhardt won’t be satisfied with making the Chase if he’s not a legitimate championship contender. For drivers and teams expecting to be part of the Chase, today’s race is a great tutorial. Edwards is in a 52-race winless drought and hasn’t found Victory Lane since the last race of the 2008 season. He’s finished twice and third before at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and

needs to start reeling off consistently strong finishes to hang on to his spot. “Every time I pull into the garage, there’s a different group of guys around me, so I know it’s close,” Edwards said. “There are a lot of guys fighting for that spot. I think I can safely say this is going to be one of the toughest years to make the Chase that we’ve had.” Montoya is on a roll with a pair of top 10s and one 13th-place finish in the last three races. The former Formula One star made NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship for the first time last season. He failed to carry that over into this season and is 20th entering today’s race – 161 points out of the 12th and final place in the Chase field. “It’s cool because it’s putting a lot of pressure on us and we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to perform and get the job done,” he said. “It’s pretty exciting to see.” NASCAR is counting on it.

Danica Patrick hits the wall after getting tapped by Morgan Shepherd (89) seven laps into the NASCAR Nationwide New England 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H., on Saturday. Patrick finished 30th, five laps down.

Busch wins Nationwide at New Hampshire LOUDON, N.H. (AP) – Kyle Busch won the Nationwide Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday and become the career laps led leader in NASCAR’s second-tier series. Busch bowed to the crowd, which saluted his sixth win of the season in the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Busch has led 8,117 laps in his career and earned his 36th career victory. He held off teammate Brad Keselowski, who finished second and had his solid run derailed by a poor pit stop. Carl Edwards, Joey Logano and Trevor Bayne round out the top five.

Keselowski stretched his points lead to 247 over Edwards. Danica Patrick finished 30th, five laps down. Patrick went into the wall only seven laps into the race. The IndyCar regular posted her best finish in four Nationwide races. “It was a bummer to get lapped so many times,” Patrick said. Patrick started 25th in her first NASCAR race since February and ran into trouble in her No. 7 Chevrolet almost instantly. Morgan Shepherd got loose and sent Patrick into the wall. She radioed to her crew “he totally took me out.” Patrick returned to the track a lap down

and never got any momentum. She later tapped Shepherd to let him know she didn’t appreciate getting caught up in the early accident. Patrick fared no better than 31st in three starts on the Nationwide Series in February. She said a top-15 or top-20 finish would be a success. “There’s a lot for me to learn,” she said. Busch has it mastered. “I wish there was money for laps led,” Busch said. “That would be pretty cool. It’s a testament to this team and I was at Hendrick Motorsports, too.” Busch passed Mark Martin on the career laps led list.

match-up between Pontiac GXPs, Anderson crossed the finish line first in the final round with a 6.685-second run at a top speed of 206.23 mph before Edwards could catch him with his quicker performance of 6.677 at 207.11. If Anderson can win today at Motorsports Park, he will pocket an additional $25,000 bo-

nus for sweeping both events this weekend. All of Friday’s qualifying leaders remained atop their respective categories as Larry Dixon (Top Fuel), Ashley Force Hood (Funny Car), Jeg Coughlin (Pro Stock) and Steve Johnson (Pro Stock Motorcycle) will lead their divisions into today’s eliminations.

VALENCIA, Spain (AP) – Sebastian Vettel earned Red Bull’s eighth pole in nine Formula One races this season, posting the fastest time in qualifying Saturday for the European Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver drove the quickest lap in 1 minute, 37.587 seconds. Vettel’s teammate Mark Webber was second in 1.37.662, with Lewis Hamilton third for Mclaren. “It was a tight qualifying session in the end, not much between us all,” Vettel said. “I won pole so I’m very happy for today.” Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher didn’t compete for the pole after being eliminated in the second qualifying round. Home favorite Fernando Alonso of Ferrari was fourth, with teammate Felipe Massa fifth. Hamilton leads the standings with 109 points, followed by teammate Jenson Button on 106 points. Webber is third on 103 points, ahead of Alonso on 94 and Vettel on 90. Helped by its pioneering blown diffuser exhaust system, Red Bull won the first seven poles of the season before failing in Canada. Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes have installed their own diffusers for this weekend’s race, the third grand prix to be staged in Valencia. Under a clear sky, track temperatures reached 113 Fahrenheit during the qualifying session.

Uruguay beats South Korea 2-1 in round of 16 PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (AP) – The game on the line, Luis Suarez sidestepped two defenders in the driving rain and struck a right-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area. “The truth is, I didn’t realize the ball was going to go in,” he said. It did. And now Uruguay is headed to the World Cup quar-

terfinals for the first time in 40 years after beating South Korea 2-1 on Saturday. Suarez, who had Uruguay’s only goal in its 1-0 group stage win over Mexico, scored twice against the Koreans – early in the first half and again in the 80th with the score tied 1-1. Lee Chung-yong had tied the secondround game in the 68th on a header after goalkeeper Fernando Muslera left his line attempting to punch

away a looping ball. It was the first goal given up by Uruguay in the tournament. Uruguay took the lead in the eighth when goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong failed to intercept Diego Forlan’s low cross from the left flank. It bounced across the goal mouth and Suarez put the ball in the net with a onetimer from a tight angle. Uruguay will play Ghana in the quarterfinals.

BASKETBALL THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 2010 www.hpe.com

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

High Point University basketball legend Arizona Reid returned to his old stomping grounds this week. He lined up this shot at the Millis Center on Friday. Reid, a 2008 HPU graduate, has played professionally overseas in Finland, Switzerland and Italy. He’s leaning toward playing in Australia this fall.

Reid hoops it up as globetrotter T

he flying dreadlocks and muscular, tattooed arms are still there. The easy-going laugh and bright smile haven’t left, either. And when Arizona Reid steps onto a basketball court, the boundless energy, hustle, heart, determination and talent that turned him into arguably the greatest athlete in High Point University history remain ever present. “Basketball to a lot of people is a game. It’s not a game to me,” Reid said. “I take it personally every time I step onto the floor. Everybody asks me, ‘Why do you play with so much emotion?’ I love this more than I love a lot of things in life. I love this more than everything but my family.” In fact, Reid reminded his 17-year-old brother of that recently when they were playing together. Why do you play me so hard? Jarron asked A.Z. Do you do that to everybody? “I told him, ‘If our mom or our grandmom step onto the court, I’m gonna eat her up.’ I’m serious,” Reid said. “Right now, that’s my life. It means everything to me. When I was hurt, I cried every night. I don’t want to experience that feeling ever again.” The low points have been few and far between in Reid’s remarkable odyssey since graduating from HPU in 2008. The only player in Big South Conference history to record more than 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career is back in town for a visit, and by the end of the summer his life will be getting all the more interesting. Reid’s girlfriend, who he met during his freshman year, is two months pregnant. The proud papa-to-be is bursting to find out the sex of the child – “Arizona the fourth if it’s a boy!” he exclaimed – while also understanding the new responsibilities headed his way. “I’m really excited to start another chapter in my life. It’s always good to have someone by your side, when you’re down and out or up and running – she’s always been there for me since Day 1,” Reid said of his girlfriend. “We had a great friendship at first, then it moved to her being the one I want to be with until I die. Hopefully everything works out.” As for the basketball... “Now I do it because I love it,” Reid said with a smile and shake of his head. “I’m gonna have a real reason to do

it – for my family! I’m gonna have to do it until I can’t do it anymore.” That could be quite a while. Reid, just 24 years old, is being courted this summer by a number of professional teams SPORTS overseas. He said he’s leaning toward playing in Steve Australia this fall, where Hanf he can earn more money ■■■ and face better players than he’s seen thus far in Finland, Switzerland and Italy. There was little doubt that Reid would play basketball following his career with the Panthers. The Gaffney, S.C., native starred during his final three seasons, leading the Panthers in scoring and rebounding all three years. His 2,069 career points rank second in HPU history behind Gene Littles and his 1,013 rebounds are fourth all time. He put up numbers that were matched nationally by the likes of Kevin Durant and Michael Beasley in his final two seasons, averaging more than 20 points and 10 rebounds per game. Reid earned an invitation to the prestigious Portsmouth (Va.) camp as well as six NBA workouts, and while he said he got great comments from a number of coaches and general managers, his height – 6-foot-5 – worked against him. That left Europe, and Reid would land his first professional opportunity in Italy’s challenging league. Two months of workouts went for naught, however, when Reid suffered a broken left foot the day before his first game. He missed three months, got his release and landed in Switzerland thanks to an HPU connection. Former teammate Mike Jefferson was playing for the Geneva Devils, and Reid was able to join him for the end of the season. “Their (general manager) called and asked if I would be interested,” Reid recalled. “I told him I wouldn’t be the player I was before I was hurt, but would work hard to get even better. I really appreciate them. They picked me up, gave me a chance to experience what it’s like to play European basketball.” Reid compared Switzerland’s league to a mid-major. Finland, then, could perhaps be considered Big Ten-brutal

with its physical play, but that’s where Reid thrived this past season. “The coach from Finland called me and told me he loved my game and he wanted to make me a better player,” Reid explained. “He said he knew I had skills, but he wanted me to learn the game of basketball the way they played. I watched a lot of film, shot a lot of jump shots, got more physical – he taught me a lot even on defense, rebounding. He showed me how to play basketball.” Reid averaged a team-high 19.0 points per game for Korihait while grabbing 7.4 boards and shooting 59 percent from the field and 35 percent on 3-pointers. The team finished 22-22 in Finland’s top pro league, playing to a sold-out home gym for some 4,000 fans each night. “I thought I knew how to play, but I didn’t,” Reid said of the experience. “Europe, it’s tough. To me it’s way tougher than American basketball. Now, I feel like I can do a lot of damage. Even more than I did at High Point.” Reid said he would stay in Finland if a big pay raise was coming, but he’s likely on to Australia. Americans can prosper playing overseas, making around $100,000 a year – more, if paid in euros – while having their housing, a car and many meals provided for them by the team. Plus, whatever taxes Reid might have to worry about are covered by the teams. “What you sign for, that’s what you get,” he said. “I make a good living, but you’ve got to follow the money and follow the competition. If I want to get better, I’ve gotta play against better players. I feel like I did my job in Finland. It was a great experience and I appreciate everything they’ve done for me. I’m looking forward to the next step.” Reid said Australian teams usually pay “six figures,” and it’s also another fun experience in a new culture. “If I could tell people to do one thing, I would tell people to experience the lifestyle of living in Europe,” Reid offered. “The food, the clothes, the parties, the driving – everything is just so different from living in America.” Granted, you can’t party all that often – “got to be focused. It’s a job,” he cautioned. And there are adjustments to make when living overseas. In Finland, trying to learn the language was tough. As for the weather? “Oh my God – so cold,” Reid said with

a smile. “Finland is so cold, in winter time at 3, 4 o’clock it’s pitch-dark outside, and there’s so much snow.” Luckily, there are friends to be made at every stop along the way. Italy proved to be difficult at first as Reid made the transition to being surrounded by friends and family to knowing no one in a foreign country. “You have to love basketball to do what I do. It’s really tough. It makes you grow up faster,” he said. “I got homesick the first two months I was there, but I told myself, ‘This is what I love to do, and if they’re going to pay me, why not do it my best, go all out?’ ” He continues playing and practicing at all-out speed. This week, he’s been helping new Panthers coach Scott Cherry and his staff with the HPU basketball camps while stealing time in his favorite haunt – the Millis Center – attempting to wear out the shooting machine known as “The Gun.” Despite playing four years for Bart Lundy, Reid said he’s been warmly welcomed from the new staff “just like they were my coaches. “I thought it would be different, but it’s just the same as if it was Coach Lundy,” Reid added. “At first I thought it would be a problem, but I like the staff. I’ve really enjoyed coming back to High Point. Nido (Qubein, the school president) is doing a great job with expanding the school. It’s just amazing. When I went here it was nothing like this. That’s what the school’s supposed to do – get better.” Reid certainly has gotten better and better. From overlooked by college coaches out of Gaffney to overlooked by NBA scouts out of High Point, he continues to excel and move up the pro ranks. Might he make it all the way to America’s top level? Or just enjoy his current journey? “Of course, my dream is always to play in the NBA,” Reid said. “But if that doesn’t happen, I’m not going to get stressed out. If I’m in Europe or the NBA, I’m going to work hard. I’m the type person that’s going to out-work the next man.” With hair flying and muscles flexing. And the smiles and laughs always waiting, just off the court. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

The rules are the rules

I

n August, there are normally several perfect days at Camp Perry, on Lake Erie; this was one of them. The sun was up, the air was dry and clear and the temperature at 7 a.m. was a little chilly, promising a perfect day on the range. The winged front sight on my M14 rifle weaved across the 12” bull 200 yards downrange and settled for a second. I pressed the trigger and the rifle rocked back in recoil. My coach, AC Webster, looking through the scope asked, “How’d that look?” “Center X,” and as I said the words, the target rose back into view with the spotter perfectly centered in the three and a half inch X ring. “Good, OK John, knock it down, target 128.” AC was telling my firing partner, John Anderson that it was his turn to shoot. As John prepared a break his shot, I saw Ernie, an NRA Match Referee approaching on a golf cart. “Target 128,” he called, as he approached. “You’re disqualified from the match.” It seems we’d missed putting our pit pullers competitors’ sticker on the score sheet and the pit officer couldn’t be sure he was a competitor. If he was a paid target puller, we would have needed two men in the pits. The rules required only one competitor. As team captain, I had his sticker, but it wasn’t on the score sheet in the pits and there was no way to get it across the 200 yards of range since the match had started. After a few minutes of explanation, I asked Ernie, “So what do you want us to do?” Ernie smiled, he knew almost all of us and he felt some sympathy, but the rules are the rules, “I want you to get your stuff and get off the line.” Our Day was over. We complied and, as we crossed the 1,000 yard line to leave the range, I looked back at my one shot of the 1996 Rumbold Match, still standing in the target frame with no one to pull it down, a perfect center X and a monument to my error. The rules are the rules. Our little disqualification was more embarrassing than tragedy. Had we won, we’d have gotten some bragging rights and a few medals. Sometimes the stakes are bigger and the infractions are tiny. Last Saturday was the last day of the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament. The announced winner was the Citation with an 883-pound blue marlin, a new record for the Big Rock Tournament. Captain Eric Holmes and the crew won $912,875, almost a million dollars for one fish. By Saturday night, there was word there was a problem, as the weekend unfolded, the nature of the problem surfaced. One of the mates on the Citation hadn’t had a North Carolina Recreational Fishing license at the time the fish was caught. He’d purchased the license hours after the fish was caught but before the fish was weighed in. Since he was a North Carolina resident, he could have bought a 10-day license that would have covered the tournament for one dollar. The way the story has unfolded, the mate was asked if he had the license before the boat left the docks and he said he did. It was the first Big Rock Tournament for the Citation and I assume the mate didn’t think they were going to win. The rules state that the fish must be legally caught and landed and the fact that one person on the boat wasn’t legal was enough to

disqualify the fish. The issue of NCRFLs was mentioned in the Captain’s Meeting and the Captain was required to attend. Since the matter hinged around the legality of the fish, the tournament deferred to SPORTS North Carolina Marine Fisheries and the North Dick Carolina Attorney GenJones eral for the final ruling. ■■■ On Monday at 6 p.m., the organizers of the Big Rock announced that the Citation’s fish was disqualified. A one-dollar license had cost the Citation almost a million dollars. Thommasson the angler who caught the marlin as stated, “We didn’t do anything wrong, but one of our people did. He failed to get a fishing license, but we didn’t know it. He told us he had it. He didn’t. So you take a man for his word, you know? They’re taking it away, everything. The fish is disqualified. We’re disqualified. That’s the end of it.” The problem with many of today’s sports activities is that too much money is at stake. As long as the prize is bragging rights, dinner, or a few dollars you don’t need to be too specific with the rules. Once that grows to thousands of dollars, and in the case of the Big Rock, hundreds of thousands of dollars, things change. If this was only for bragging rights, I’d be in favor of just saying it was a simple oversite and let the record fish and the win stand, but $900,000 is a lot of money. In many ways, money takes the sport out of sporting events. We’ve all seen the atrocious behavior of professional athletes and most of those problems relate to money. When you put huge amounts of money into sport, you turn it into business. This is a sad day for everyone involved. The Citation landed a record winning fish that doesn’t count, the new winning boat, the Carnivore of Cape Carteret, has the win clouded by controversy and was deprived of the Saturday night celebration they would have enjoyed. Further, there was no third place fish because it was known that the three top places were locked in. No captain would have brought in a smaller fish to weigh since that fish would have no longer been eligible as a released marlin, a separate category in the tournament. I suspect there will never be another instance of an angler or mate not having the proper license in the Big Rock. I also suspect the rules committee will review the rules to make them a little more clear by next years event. In 1997, the NRA changed the wording relating to competitor stickers on score sheets but by then, the pain of last year’s fiasco was long gone. In fact, by noon of the day of the 1996 Rumbold Team Match fiasco, we were enjoying a day at Put-In Bay on Lake Erie and, except for an occasional twinge, the pain was gone. I’ll bet it’ll take a little more time for the crew of the Citation. I feel your pain guys, just not as much as you. DICK JONES IS a freelance writer living in High Point.

Kerr up by eight in LPGA Championship THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSFORD, N.Y. – Cristie Kerr extended her lead to an LPGA Championship-record eight shots, shooting a 3-under 69 in persistent rain Saturday at Locust Hill. Kerr, the 2007 U.S. Women’s Open champion who won the State Farm Classic two weeks ago for her 13th LPGA Tour title, had a 13-under 203 total. Her advantage entering the final round tops the mark of seven set in 1961 by winner Mickey Wright. Jimin Kang (70), Azahara Munoz (70) and Mika Miyazato (72) were tied for second.

ROSE AHEAD BY THREE STROKES CROMWELL, Conn. – Justin Rose closed in on his second straight PGA Tour victory, shooting a 2-under 68 to take a three-stroke lead over Ben Curtis into the final round of the Travelers

Championship. Rose, the 29-year-old Englishman who won the Memorial three weeks ago but then failed to qualify for the U.S. Open, had a 16-under 194 total at TPC River Highlands after setting the tournament 36-hole record with rounds of 64 and 62. Curtis, the 2003 British Open champion, shot a 64.

FORSMAN SHOWS WAY BY ONE ENDICOTT, N.Y. – Dan Forsman shot a 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Brad Bryant after the second round of the Champions Tour’s Dick’s Sporting Goods Open. Forsman was at 12-under 132 and lucky to be there alone after Bryant (67) bogeyed the final hole. Russ Cochran (66) and first-round leader Wayne Levi (69) were 10 under. Nick Price (66), Bill Glasson (66) and Mark Calcavecchia (68) were 9 under. Calcavecchia is making his first start on the 50-and-over tour.

Maria Sharapova punches the air as she defeats Barbora Zahlavova Strycova of the Czech Republic in their women’s singles match at Wimbledon on Saturday. Sharapova won in straight sets to set up a meeting with top-seeded Serena Williams in the next round.

Nadal survives in five WIMBLEDON, England (AP) – Topranked Rafael Nadal rallied for another five-set victory Saturday, overcoming knee problems, an umpire’s warning and a tough challenge from a hard-hitting German to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon. Nadal battled back from two-sets-toone down for the second straight match to defeat Philipp Petzschner 6-4, 4-6, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-3 in a Centre Court slugfest. Defending women’s champion Serena Williams had a much easier time, serving 19 aces in a straight-sets win over Dominika Cibulkova that set up a fourth-round matchup with former champion Maria Sharapova. The top-seeded Williams had at least two aces in each of her nine service games and overpowered the 46th-ranked Slovak 6-0, 7-5. The second-seeded Nadal, who won the title in 2008 but missed last year’s tournament due to tendinitis in his knees, called for the trainer four separate times for treatment on his left arm and right knee but never looked badly hurt. “I hope I’ll be fine,” Nadal said afterward. “I don’t know. I’m going to check. It’s not a big problem. It’s a long season for me. I have played a lot of matches the last few months. “Having a five-set match two days ago and one today – that’s tough. I’m happy to be in the fourth round. I’m going to try to be better for Monday.” Nadal said he will definitely play Monday’s match against France’s PaulHenri Matthieu, who beat Thiemo de Bakker in four sets. “I am here to try my best and to try to keep in the tournament,” he said. Nadal said his right knee has been bothering him for several months, and that he will skip Spain’s Davis Cup quarterfinal against France next month in order to get treatment. Fourth-seeded Andy Murray followed Nadal on Centre Court and beat Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-1, 6-4, 6-4, keeping alive Britain’s hopes for a first homegrown male champion since 1936. Murray, who hasn’t dropped a set so far, served 15 aces, conceded only 15 points on serve and did not face a single break point. Murray will now face 18th-seeded

WIMBLEDON AT A GLANCE

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) – Saturday at the All England Club: Men’s Seeded Winners: No. 2 Rafael Nadal, No. 4 Andy Murray, No. 6 Robin Soderling, No. 9 David Ferrer, No. 10 JoWilfried Tsonga, No. 18 Sam Querrey, No. 32 Julien Benneteau. Men’s Seeded Losers: No. 25 Thomaz Bellucci, No. 26 Gilles Simon, No. 33 Philipp Petzschner. Women’s Seeded Winners: No. 1 Serena Williams, No. 3 Caroline Wozniacki, No. 7 Agnieszka Radwanska, No. 9 Li Na, No. 16 Maria Sharapova. Women’s Seeded Losers: No. 10 Flavia Pennetta, No. 14 Victoria Azarenka, No. 29 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, No. 31 Alexandra Dulgheru, No. 32 Sara Errani. Noteworthy: Serena Williams had 19 aces in 43 serving points. Quoteworthy: “I think it’ll be 99 percent for Murray, and like my mom and dad and sister cheering for me.” – American Sam Querrey talking about the Centre Court crowd on Monday, when he faces Briton Andy Murray.

American Sam Querrey, who overcame Belgian Xavier Malisse to reach the fourth round here for the first time. The 33rd-seeded Petzschner, playing his third straight five-setter, also needed medical treatment for a recurring hip problem on several changeovers and looked exhausted in the final set against Nadal. The German questioned Nadal’s injury breaks. “You have to ask him what it was. But I didn’t feel any difference afterwards or before. I thought he was moving great. I only could say if I would be injured like this once I would be happy. I don’t know. Maybe he had something. Maybe it was just a clever part to take a time-out there.” Nadal denied any gamesmanship. “I never call the physio when I don’t have nothing, not one time in my career,” he said. “If I call the physio today, it was because it was bothering me a lot, the knee.” Nadal received a warning from chair umpire Cedric Mourier at 2-2 in the fifth set for receiving coaching from coach and uncle Toni Nadal.

Defining Kolby

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

A student at UNCG, Kolby Garrison makes her way around the campus easily with her guide dog, Sunny.

Ragsdale grad wishes people could look past her blindness – after all, she has a prize-winning singing voice BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

T

he irony is, Kolby Garrison had no intentions of entering the Community Theatre of Greensboro’s annual Triad Idol singing competition. As much as she loves to sing – and it’s undeniably one of her greatest passions – the 21-year-old vocalist just wasn’t feeling it. She had tried out for “American Idol” five years ago, at the auditions in Greensboro, without getting past the first round – and she didn’t even have fun in the process. And isn’t that what singing should be about? Look at the joy on her face when she sings. It’s not about competing – it’s about performing. But then Debbie Averett, Garrison’s former voice instructor – who Garrison says is “more like a best friend” – called and, shall we say, strongly encouraged her to audition. “She basically said, ‘You’re going,’” Garrison recalls with a laugh. Garrison suggested she might go listen to the auditions with Averett – who had other students auditioning – but would not sing herself. Averett balked. “I said, ‘That’s just crazy,’” Averett says. “I said, ‘You’re not gonna walk in there and just listen when you can sing like you can sing.’” Chalk one up for Averett. Not only did Garrison audition for Triad Idol – along with more than 300 others – she won, walking away from the June 13 competition finals with the $1,000 winner’s check and assorted other prizes. “I think my mouth stayed open for a long time,” says Garrison, a 2007 graduate of Ragsdale High School and now a junior at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. “I was so shocked, because I didn’t even expect to place. I just performed for the opportunity to perform, and I had a lot of fun while I was doing it.”

SPECIAL | HPE

Kolby Garrison gives award-winning performance at Triad Idol singing competition. For all of Garrison’s musical ability – not to mention her bubbly personality – it’s easy to overlook her disability: She’s been blind since birth. Born 31⁄2 months premature, she was given too high an oxygen level, which resulted in retinopathy of prematurity, an eye disease that can cause blindness. The blindness has never slowed her down, especially where her musical ability is concerned. When she was only 2 or 3, she taught herself to play “Jingle Bells” on a small, electric keyboard her grandfather had given her. She’s also been singing since she was 2 – singing solos at church and with various school choral groups – and she plays the piano and the guitar.

Moreover, Garrison has gone to public schools her whole life, she graduated from Ragsdale with honors, and she’s very independent. With her guide dog Sunny, a 6-year-old golden retriever, she navigates the UNCG campus with ease. “She’s been a real inspiration – she never quits,” says her father, Bob Garrison. While she’s majoring in communications studies – hoping to do advocacy work for people with disabilities, or perhaps work in public relations – a music career is not out of the question for Garrison. “I feel like Kolby has a definite future in music,” Averett says. “I just think that she hasn’t come upon the right timing and the right opportunity, but I believe it will come.” According to Averett, Garrison engages an audience differently than a sighted vocalist, tapping into what’s called “performing magic,” which she says is made possible when an artist achieves a state of higher self. “Too many singers assume an audience buys a ticket to a concert or show to see them emote or perform,” Averett explains. “In reality, people want to experience something outside themselves – an escape, if you will. When Kolby sings, all the worries and clouds hanging over the heads of audience members disappear for the duration of her song. Kolby doesn’t perform – she shares her soul when she sings.” For her part, Garrison simply wants people to see her for who she truly is – not a blind singer, but a singer who happens to be blind. “That excites me when people see past the dog and see past the blindness and really get to know who Kolby is as a person,” she says. “That’s one of the things I’m passionate about. I want people to see there’s a person in that wheelchair. There’s a person who uses that guide dog. There’s a person who uses that cane. Our disability is only a characteristic – it doesn’t define who we are.”

Don’t distract service dogs that are on the job D

ear Abby: I am 18, disabled and work with a service dog. I would like to offer people a few tips on interacting with service dog owners. Perhaps it will lessen some of the daily frustrations all handlers deal with: 1. Not all service dogs are big dogs. I know several Chihuahuas who save their owners’ lives every day with their medical alert tasks. 2. Not all disabilities are visible. Please don’t ask, “What’s wrong with you?” or, “What’s your problem?” 3. There are many kinds of service dogs, not just guide dogs. Medical alert dogs help people with everything from epilepsy to diabetes to panic attacks. There are also autism service dogs, mobility dogs and hearing dogs. 4. Please do not pet my dog without asking me first. My dog wears a patch that says, “Do Not Pet.” It’s there for a reason. Abby, I can’t count the number of people who read her patch out loud, then reach

out to pet her anyway. Please do not take it personally if we say no. 5. If a dog’s handler seems ill, it’s OK – even preferable – to ask if we are all right. I once had an episode and no less than ADVICE two dozen people walked right past me while I sat Dear on the floor. Had I been Abby diabetic, I could have died ■■■ because no one stopped – including two store managers. – Hoping To Help in Pennsylvania Dear Hoping To Help: Thank you for an important letter. What many people fail to understand is that when an assistance dog is out in public, the animal is working and should not be distracted from its task – which is ensuring the wellbeing of its owner. Your last tip was the most important

Sunday, June 27, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Madylin Sweeten, 19; Ed Westwick, 23; Drake Bell, 24; Tobey Maguire, 35 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Change is upon you and, although you may not like it, you will benefit in the end. It’s understanding what others need and realizing how you can fit into the big scheme of things that will enable you to come out on top. Don’t be afraid to let go of people, places and possessions that are no longer working for you. Your numbers are 5, 17, 20, 26, 28, 31, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can expect to have problems with your residence, a move or a personal matter involving a family member. Your honesty, integrity and fair play will be required. Emotional issues will escalate if someone refuses to compromise. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make time for neighbors, friends and relatives. You can help a family member or good friend who needs to make some important changes in order to overcome a long time, problematic situation. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Offer your hands-on help, not a money donation, to anyone looking for a handout. Keep your emotions out of the equation if a friend or relative needs advice. You will be blamed if you meddle. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Partnerships may be questionable. Ask for information that will help you better understand some of the uncertainties. Once you know where you stand, you will have a much better chance of coming to a workable solution. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do something that challenges you and you will alleviate stress. It may be time to make some new friends who don’t lean on you so much. Uncertainty will prevail regarding a settlement or legal problem, no matter what you do. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t bother trying to figure out what everyone else is doing. Remove yourself from any argumentative situation. Love is prevalent, so get out with people with whom you have some-

thing in common. Investigate money deals that sound too good to be true. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Not everyone will be on the same page as you. Get involved in events that will keep you away from negative, demanding people who want to dump responsibilities in your lap. It’s new acquaintances who will make your day. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take another look at a project you benched and you will discover what is required to bring it back to life. A deal can be made with someone who shares your talent and vision. A personal problem will develop if you have neglected a loved one. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t miss out on something you want to do because of someone’s insecurity or decision to pull out at the last minute. Move forward by yourself and doors will open to new friendships. Evaluate some of your current relationships. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are plenty of moneymaking possibilities to be considered. Making a move or buying real estate or just collecting old debts will raise your financial position. A partnership can bring you an added bonus you weren’t expecting. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sometimes you have to go back before you can move forward. Surprise everyone by embracing the changes you need to make and you will get the support you need to carry on and be successful. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are in the driver’s seat personally and professionally. Be fair and honest and lay out your plans and propositions for all to see. Stop jumping from one thing to another and focus on what’s important and you will excel. ★★★★

of all. Folks, I shouldn’t have to tell you that if you see someone who appears to be in trouble, it takes only a moment to do the right thing and make sure the person gets the help he or she needs. And that includes calling 911 if it’s merited. Dear Abby: I am a widowed grandmother. Two of my son’s children, ages 18 and 21, have never had much contact with me or my husband. I have mailed them gifts for their birthdays and holidays, never receiving a thank-you or a card or a call on my birthday. To keep the peace, I have kept sending – but now I’m tired. They used to live in Arizona, but now the older granddaughter, “Bethany,” lives here in Florida, 40 miles from here. When she came with her parents to stay with me while house-hunting, she asked, “What are you going to give me for my birthday?” I did not respond. After Bethany became established and settled, I called her on at least four

separate occasions, leaving messages, all of which she has ignored. She claims she never received them. My birthday came and went – no card or call from her. I feel I should do the same for her from now on. I would like your opinion so I can show it to my son. – Unappreciated in Florida Dear Unappreciated: Here it is, and by all means, share it with your son. Bethany is the product of her upbringing. You were not a part of her childhood in Arizona, and she was never taught that good manners mean acknowledging gifts and returning phone calls. She is no longer a child, and she was presumptuous to ask you what you would be giving her for her birthday. (You should have replied, “Malaria. Do you want it now?”) If you choose to stop acting like a vending machine – which is the way you are being treated – you’ll get no argument from me.

Medicare coverage continues after incarceration

Q

What happens to my Medicare coverage if my Social Security benefits stop because I go to jail? A. If you were getting Medicare and monthly Social Security benefits before you went to jail, your benefits will stop but your hospital insurance (Part A) coverage will continue. To keep your medical insurance (Part B) coverage, you must pay the premiums. If your coverage ends while you are in jail because you did not pay your Medicare premiums, you will be able to enroll again during the

SOCIAL SECURITY

---

next General Enrollment Period (January through March of each year). Your coverage will start again in July of the year you reenroll. If you do reenroll, you will be responsible for any unpaid past-due premiums and your ongoing premium may be higher. Q. I’ve worked very little over the years. What is the minimum Social Security amount payable? A. For administrative

reasons, Social Security will not pay a benefit of less than $1. However, to receive any amount of Social Security benefits, you must have the minimum amount of work credits. Everyone born in 1929 or later needs 40 credits to be eligible for retirement benefits. Therefore since you can earn four credits per year, you will need at least 10 years of work to become eligible for retirement benefits.

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.

Carpal tunnel syndrome causes finger numbness, pain, weakness

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Something funny has happened to my right thumb and index finger. In the past month, they’ve become numb. They don’t hurt during the day, but sometimes, at night, my thumb wakes me up because of pain. I move the fingers with no trouble. Do you know what’s going on? – L.P. I believe you have carpal tunnel syndrome. A large nerve in the forearm passes into the hand through a tunnel in the wrist (carpus). The floor of the tunnel is wrist bones; the sides are finger tendons, and the top is a strong ligament. The tunnel doesn’t have very much room. If any of those structures becomes slightly swollen, the nerve is compressed and the signs of carpal tunnel syndrome appear. Numbness, tingling or pain in the thumb, index, middle and adjacent half of the ring finger – all of them or some of them – are the first signs that the nerve is trapped. As time passes, the same fingers

might become weak, and they become clumsy. Worsening of symptoms HEALTH at night is typical. Dr. Paul About half Donohue of carpal ■■■ tunnel syndrome patients experience these phenomena in both hands. The cause? Illnesses like diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis might be in the background. Pregnancy often brings on carpal tunnel. Occupational hazards like operating a pneumatic drill can bring it on. For many, there is no explanation. Do you want to try a test? Press the backs of both hands together, in front of your chest, with fingers pointed down. Exert firm pressure. If numbness or pain increases, that’s a positive test and a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome. Don’t rely on this test or my transcontinental guess as a diagnosis. See your family doctor.

A wrist splint rests the wrist and reduces swelling. It might have to be used only at night. A doctor can inject a cortisone drug in the region of the tunnel to relieve symptoms. In persistent cases, surgically freeing the nerve cures this common condition.

Coaster enthusiasts love the wood BY JENNIFER C. YATES ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

P

ITTSBURGH – For a city built on steel, some of the most sought- after attractions in Pittsburgh are actually made of wood. Just ask the more than 400 members of the American Coaster Enthusiasts, who have come to Kennywood amusement park for the 7,000-member group’s annual convention. The highlight will be riding three of the oldest wooden roller coasters in the world – over, and over, and over again. “There are very few, maybe no places, in the world quite like it,” said Bill Linkenheimer, of Pittsburgh, the group’s

’There are very few, maybe no places in the world quite like it (Kennywood).’ Bill Linkenheimer American Coaster Enthusiasts secretary and lifelong lover of the thrill of zooming over the rails, who joined the club in 1980 at age 13. The gathering this week marks the fourth time that the group, founded in 1978, has held its annual convention at Kennywood. It also marks the first time the American Coaster Enthusiasts will honor two coasters at one park with plaques designating them ACE Roller Coaster Landmarks. The rides – the Jack Rabbit and the Racer – were both built of wood in the 1920s by coaster designer John Miller. The Jack Rabbit is known for its 70-foot double-dip drop, while the Racer is the only single-track racing coaster in the U.S. Through its unique “reverse curve” design, riders start on the right side of the track and finish on the left. “They are just examples of the way coasters were made back then

www.kennywood. com/ www.aceonline.org/ www.napha.org/ and how a coaster can survive so long and be really fun and really enjoyable,” said John Gerard, of San Diego, the group’s public relations director. Although coaster enthusiasts like the newer steel coasters, too, many are partial to the clickclick of old wooden coasters. Modern coasters can be extreme and fast, but the ride tends to be the same every time, while everything from the time of day to the humidity can change the ride on a wooden one, Linkenheimer said. “Every wood coaster truly is unique,” said Linkenheimer, who has ridden more than 600 roller coasters all over the world. And he keeps them all listed on a spreadsheet to prove it. Once dubbed the “Roller Coaster Capital of the World,” Kennywood was founded in 1898 as a small trolley park, and many of its most famous coasters were built in the early 1900s. The park was designated a national historic landmark in 1987. In 2003, the familyowned park was sold to Parques Reunidos of Madrid, which manages dozens of amusement, animal and water parks in the United States and Europe. The Kennywood sale also included two other Pittsburgh-area attractions: Idlewild & SoakZone in Ligonier and Sandcastle Waterpark in West Homestead. Earlier this year, Kennywood was named the world’s favorite traditional park by the National Amusement Park Historical Association, a Chicago-based group dedicated to recognizing and preserving amusement parks. The group cited Kennywood’s mix of historic and new rides as a factor in its appeal. On Friday, the park will

Riders on the Racer roller coaster soar down one of the hills on the wooden trestle ride at Kennywood Park in West Mifflin, Pa. open its newest coaster, the Sky Rocket, not far from where the Jack Rabbit is celebrating its 90th anniversary. This week’s ACE convention started at Kennywood, but participants will also visit Idlewild, Waldameer in Erie, and Conneaut Lake Park, located about 90 miles north of Pittsburgh. Conneaut is home to the Blue Streak, the sixth-oldest wooden roller coaster in the U.S. and the only Edward Vettel-designed coaster with a shallow track design that is still standing. The 72-year-old coaster hasn’t been in operation

for several years, and the park itself has fallen on hard times. The American Coaster Enthusiasts have donated $5,000 toward the restoration of the Blue Streak, and members say going to the park during the convention is one way to

show their support for the preservation of these historic sites. “Throughout the country, we’ve lost a lot of parks just like that,” Linkenheimer said. Perhaps the biggest attraction of the week, though, is what’s known

to coaster insiders as ERT – exclusive ride time. The parks will make time available before opening and after closing for conventioneers to ride the coasters. “You just get to ride until you are fried,” Gerard said.

HAYWORTH DISPUTE

----

AP

Former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth campaigns in Marana, Ariz. A serious re-election fight wasn’t what Republican John McCain expected when he returned to the Senate after losing the presidency. The four-term senator is battling for his political life in a race that embodies the volatility of an unpredictable election year, facing Hayworth, a fellow Republican, pushing him farther to the right as GOP voters demand conservative purity in their candidates and punish anyone with ties to Washington establishment.

Sweating the bailout GOP lawmakers worry about payback at polls BY LIZ SIDOTI AP NATIONAL POLITICAL WRITER

WASHINGTON — One Republican senator lost his job because he voted for the 2008 bank bailout. Other GOP lawmakers may be next. Former President George W. Bush’s lifeline to financial institutions is roiling GOP primaries, with Republicans who reluctant-

Two-thirds of Americans say the federal government shouldn’t have helped U.S. banks and financial institutions, according to a CBS poll taken in May. ly supported it facing the ire of conservatives furious about budget-busting spending and tea partiers grousing that Wall Street came before Main Street. Economists credit the bailout with staving off deeper economic turmoil. Banks have paid back much of the money — plus interest. And GOP lawmakers were being loyal Republicans in following the wishes of their president. Yet some GOP primary voters seem to be ignoring all that in what’s shaping up to be an anti-establishment election year. Republican and Democratic poll-

sters alike say that when it comes to the bailout vote, people seem to see Washington and Wall Street in the same light — conspiring against taxpayers. That’s especially problematic for Republican lawmakers who face an electorate dominated by fiscal conservatives and tea party faithful. Thus, in dozens of House, Senate and gubernatorial races, Republican lawmakers are struggling to explain their support for a bailout that to many symbolizes government overreach. “I had to make a decision based on the information that I had at the time. And I did. And I voted for it,” four-term Rep. Gresham Barrett said last week, repeating a poll-tested answer during a South Carolina gubernatorial debate after opponent Nikki Haley asked him if his vote were a mistake. Haley — a state legislator who has the support of tea party activists — defeated Barrett in Tuesday’s runoff for the GOP nomination. She beat him handily two weeks ago but didn’t earn the 50 percent needed to win the nomination outright so the two went head to head in a contest that grew nastier by the day leading up to Tuesday. South Carolina six-term Rep. Bob Inglis, who also voted for the bailout, lost in the runoff. Challenger Trey Gowdy campaigned as a bailout opponent and made the race a referendum on Inglis’ vote, casting the incumbent as not conservative enough for the district. Americans always were skeptical of the $700 billion package that Bush rolled out in 2008 after a series of bank failures. Any support that was there for the measure dropped significantly as top officials at bailed-out institutions were paid handsome bonuses and high salaries. Public opinion is more sour even though the economy has stabilized — and the bailout price tag isn’t nearly as high. In May,

Utah Republican Senate candidate Mike Lee speaks in Salt Lake City. After pulling off a huge upset that ended U.S. Sen. Bob Bennett’s bid for a fourth term, Utah’s two remaining GOP Senate candidates are struggling to differentiate themselves now that there’s no one in the race to absorb the anti-Washington anger of voters. the Treasury Department predicted a $105.4 billion cost because it has made more money than it expected on dividends, fees and other proceeds from banks that took bailout money. Still, two-thirds of Americans say the federal government shouldn’t have helped U.S. banks and financial institutions, according to a CBS poll taken in May. The warning shot to lawmakers who voted for the measure came last month when Sen. Bob Bennett lost his quest for a fourth term in conservative Utah. Conservatives at the GOP state convention punished him for his support of the bailout, officially known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Businessman Tim Bridgewater and attorney Mike Lee will face each other Tuesday in the GOP primary. It’s likely whoever wins will become the next Utah senator. Arizona Sen. John McCain is facing similar criticism. He is taking heat for his vote from his GOP primary rival, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, who points out McCain’s support for

the measure at every turn. Says Hayworth: “Despite trying to propagate a perception of fiscal responsibility, our friend Mr. McCain is in no position to lecture any of us.” McCain rails against the bailout but doesn’t highlight his support of it. He recently told an audience in Arizona: “As much as I respect former President Bush, America was told that if we passed this TARP, they would go to the housing market and stabilize the housing market. Instead, what did they do three days after it was passed? They went and bailed out their financial buddies on Wall Street, who are now doing fine.” Still, a bailout vote doesn’t mean a certain defeat. Rep. John Boozman of Arkansas won his Senate primary, even though his seven opponents hammered him on the issue. And several House Republicans survived primaries focused on the issue, including Mary Bono Mack and Dan Lungren in California, Charlie Dent in Pennsylvania, Pat Tiberi in Ohio and Lee Terry in Nebraska.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth’s campaign last week defended his role as a pitchman three years ago for a Florida company that consumer advocates have accused of airing misleading ads. Hayworth campaign spokesman Mark Sanders said the former Arizona congressman — who is battling Sen. John McCain ahead of the state’s Aug. 24 GOP primary — didn’t know about the history of National Grants Conferences when he agreed to do the 30-minute informercial in 2007. In the infomercial, Hayworth, a native of High Point, urges viewers to attend a free seminar by the Boca Raton, Fla.-based company that offers to help people get free government money. “I was able to get a grant for $13,000 for my roof, for the electrical work. I don’t have to pay any of this money back,” one woman says in the infomercial. The firm, which has filed for bankruptcy, is accused of luring consumers to the free seminar, then using high-pressure sales tactics to persuade them to spend hundreds of dollars for access to information that is readily available online or at a public library. Hayworth is introduced as a former member of Congress who served on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.

A curtain of kudzu covers a tree in Cumberland Gap National Historic Park outside Middlesboro, Ky. A reader-submitted question about the viability of kudzu as a biofuel is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Questions involve kudzu as biofuel, reporting from Gaza THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In parts of the South, it’s everywhere – kudzu, an invasive weed that a lot of people would like to see eradicated. Why not use this overabundant plant to produce some sort of fuel? Curiosity about the viability of kudzu as a biofuel inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question. You can also tweet your questions to AP, using the AskAP hashtag. Ask AP can also be found on AP Mobile, a multimedia news service available on Internetenabled cell phones. Go to http://www.apnews. com/ to learn more. Q. Is anyone reporting from inside Gaza? Brian Perfect Chicago A. The Associated Press operates a wellstaffed bureau in Gaza City, with about a dozen reporters, photographers, cameramen and television producers based permanently in the Gaza Strip. We augment our coverage from local Palestinian journalists by regularly sending in international staffers from our bureaus in Jerusalem and Ramallah, West Bank. At times we bring

a project to prove the viability of commercial production of ethanol using kudzu. It already has operated test vehicles using limited quantities. Sandy Shore AP Energy Writer Denver in staffers from other countries as well. A number of other major media outlets maintain permanent offices in Gaza, including Reuters, AFP, BBC and Al-Jazeera. Steven Gutkin AP Chief of Bureau Jerusalem Q. Has anyone done research into using kudzu for biofuel? Byron Bowles Stockton, Mo. A. Most efforts today are aimed at trying to kill kudzu, an invasive vine-like weed that has cost billions of dollars in lost crops. However, it has potential as an ingredient for biofuels. A 2008 study concluded that, under certain conditions, kudzu could produce about 400 liters of ethanol per acre, on par with an acre of corn. The study was conducted by the University of Toronto and the U.S. Agriculture Department’s Agriculture Research Service. The next step is a largescale project that could prove using kudzu to make ethanol is economically feasible, University of Toronto Professor Rowan Sage said. That has yet to occur. One reason could be that investment in many areas of alternative energy virtually dried up as the recession took hold and gas prices fell. Agrogas, which is based in Cleveland, Tenn., is working to raise capital to finance

Q. I understood that the government’s program to insure people with pre-existing conditions would start in six months. Does that mean it starts in July? How do I find out how to qualify? Is there a website? Betsy Gardner Denver A. A new “high-risk” insurance pool for uninsured people with preexisting medical conditions is supposed to be up and running in July, but the Health and Human Services Department has not yet released details. To qualify for the program, people must be uninsured for at least six months and have a preexisting health problem. The coverage will not be free, but premiums will be heavily subsidized and are expected to be more affordable than what’s now available through state high-risk pools. In many places, states will also administer the new federal program. For details, check the website http://www. healthreform.gov. The national highrisk pool is supposed to be temporary. In 2014, insurers will be barred from denying coverage to adults with health problems. For children, that consumer protection will take effect this fall.

Harley riders set rally site BY SARAH NEWELL WILLIAMSON MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

HICKORY – In August 2011, area residents will see a lot more motorcycles cruising around Hickory. Last weekend, the city was selected as the site for North Carolina’s Harley Owner’s Group 2011 state gathering. At the group’s gathering in Charlotte last weekend, the Harley Owner’s Group made the decision to hold the 2011 state rally in Hickory, said Linda Porter, who is in charge of marketing and promotions at Blue Ridge Harley-Davidson in Hickory and a member of the Catawba Valley Hickory chapter of the Harley Owner’s Group.

Hickory Mayor Rudy Wright is also a member of the group. He has ridden motorcycles since he was 16, and owned a Harley-Davidson since 1999. He said the pitch was made by someone else to get the gathering to Hickory. However, Wright made a few remarks to help persuade people to pick Hickory. “I promised a great time, and that we would proclaim it ‘Harley Owner’s Group’ for the week,” Wright said. He said the average age of the Harley Owner’s Group member is 55, and most of the riders bring their spouses with them. Wright was at last weekend’s state rally, and said it is like a vacation destination.

Legislators seek ban on puppy mills BY PAUL WOOLVERTON MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

RALEIGH – Cumberland County lawmakers are trying to push a new law onto the books intended to stop people from operating “puppy mill” type dog breeding operations. The bill has become controversial and has drawn stiff opposition from dog

breeders and the National Rifle Association. They say it will harm legitimate breeders and owners of hunting dogs. The Bladen County commissioners on Monday adopted a resolution to oppose the bill. But advocates such as the Humane Society of the United States say the law is necessary to prevent further instances of abuse and neglect. Authorities

have seized diseased dogs living in filthy conditions. The bill passed the state Senate 23-22 last August and is pending in a state House committee. Rep. Rick Glazier, a Fayetteville Democrat, on Tuesday organized a news conference to call attention to the issue, although he was unable to attend. “How we treat our ani-

mals says a tremendous amount about us as a people,” Sen. Margaret Dickson, a Fayetteville Democrat, said at the news conference. Dickson’s district includes Bladen County. She was unaware the Bladen County commissioners had voted to oppose the bill and said she would be glad to discuss the issue with them.

Carolyn Enger, from Englewood, N.J., plays a piano in Brooklyn Bridge Park in the Brooklyn borough of New York. The piano, one of 60, is part of an art installation touring the world that made its first U.S. stop in New York. The concept has put more than 130 pianos in parks, squares and bus stations in cities from London to Sydney, Australia.

Bach and beyond: New Yorkers plink on public pianos N

EW YORK (AP) – Amid an urban orchestra of honking cabs, sirens and jackhammers, piano lovers plinked out tunes from Bach’s “Minuet in G” to Elton John’s “Rocket Man” on the first day dozens of public pianos were placed at New York City landmarks and parks for a public art project. In bustling Times Square, on a traffic triangle in the East Village and at a park with the Statue of Liberty in the background, players flocked to the 60 pianos last week as audiences applauded from taxicabs and sidewalks. “This is the first time I’ve ever touched a piano,” said Lynette Morris, a 52-year-old hospital

maintenance worker from the Bronx. She had just sat down at one of the instruments in the East Village, situated at the top of subway stairs. “I can’t play but I’m going to try,” Morris said. Moments later, as construction trucks beeped and traffic roared by, a more experienced player got his chance on the bench. New Yorkers, who don’t stop for much, halted in their tracks to listen as he ran through classics like Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer” and Vince Guaraldi’s “Linus and Lucy,” otherwise known as the “Peanuts” theme. During his final number, “Let It Be” by the Beatles, a guy manning a nearby coffee cart stuck

his head out and belted out part of the chorus. “It’s amazing how a piano, in the middle of total urban chaos, will make everyone stop to hear the notes,” said Dana Mozie, who was visiting from Washington, D.C. The two-week project, devised by British artist Luke Jerram, made its first U.S. stop in New York. The instruments are open for public play from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. in most locations. Each has a tarp in case of rain, and has its own caretaker to unlock the keyboard each morning. A few glitches were reported as the project started last Monday. One piano had to be removed from Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx because several of

Oscar organizers ponder earlier show time LOS ANGELES (AP) – Academy Awards organizers are talking about moving up the date of the show, possibly as early as January. At a meeting last week, the academy’s board of governors discussed the idea of holding the Oscars earlier. Most recent shows have been held in late February. A statement by the academy said the earliest any date change could take effect would be for the Oscars in 2012. A firm date of Feb. 27 already has been set for next year’s 83rd Oscars. The academy statement said the idea is “being explored as a possibility.” “There are a number of questions still to be answered and challenges to be ad-

dressed with regard to moving the show to an earlier date,” the statement said. “The academy governors and staff have been and will continue to look into those questions and challenges. No decision has been made and there is currently no timetable for when a decision might be made.” Leslie Unger, spokeswoman for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, would not comment on why a date change was being considered. For many years, the Oscars were held in late March but were moved to February in 2004 to shorten what many in Hollywood considered a prolonged awards season.

its keys were damaged by eager children, organizers said. Other instruments had a few keys that didn’t work, and one spot in Brooklyn did not open at the promised 9 a.m., disappointing some would-be players who arrived on time. Jerram has done the installation in several other cities since 2008, including London, Sydney and Sao Paulo, but New York City is the largest so far. In Battery Park, Don Nathman, a retired music teacher from Oregon, sat down and played Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” his white sneakers pressing the pedals as a crowd gathered around him. “I saw it and thought, ‘Hmm!’ ” Nathman said. “Anytime there’s a piano I like to play.”

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A new exhibit at an aquarium in Iowa that had intended to showcase the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico will instead be void of life to underline the environmental impact of a massive oil spill in the ocean basin. The 40,000-gallon aquarium at the National Mississippi River and Aquarium in Dubuque, about 1,000 miles from where the river dumps into the Gulf, was supposed to have been teeming with sharks, rays and other fish. Two smaller tanks were to show a seagrass bed and coral reef. “It may be the only time that people have ever seen a major aquarium that, instead of showing its fish, is showing an environmental disaster,” said Jerry Enzler, the museum’s executive director. The main tank – the size of a school bus – will contain water and artificial coral, its sides adorned with window stickers that look like oil. “It will look like the oil is sinking down and about to cover the coral, which will kill the coral,” Enzler said. Anywhere from 67 million to 127 million gallons of oil have spilled since the April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig that killed 11 workers and blew out a well 5,000 feet underwater. BP PLC was leasing the rig from owner Transocean Ltd. The Iowa exhibit, which opened Saturday as part of the museum’s $40 million expansion, features a video showing the oil spill unfolding. “We want everyone to pause and consider the delicate balance of life in our oceans,” Enzler said.

Madeleine Albright works on WWII childhood memoir NEW YORK (AP) – Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is working on a “part memoir and part cautionary tale� about Europe from 1937 to 1948. HarperCollins said last week that Albright’s “While I Was Growing Up� will be published in 2012. Albright was born in Czechoslovakia in 1937 and was forced to leave after Nazi Germany gained control of it. She spent much of World War II in England.

Her book will combine personal memories, archival material and interviews Albright to offer a “child’s view� and “adult’s broader perspective� of the era. Albright was secretary of state during President Bill Clinton’s second term. Her other books include “Madam Secretary� and “The Mighty and the Almighty.�
