BEAR ARMS

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials did not rule out the possibility Tuesday that they could move money from other construction projects to finish the planned renovation and expansion of Ragsdale High School. Alan Duncan, chairman of the Guilford County Board of Education, reassured Jamestown residents gathered at the school that the project will remain at the top of the district’s priority list despite a redesign delay to deal with a project overbid. “Ragsdale has not lost its place at the top of the list,” Duncan said. “We don’t have the money now where we want it to be. We could put more into it. For now, we want the professionals to look at it. We are frustrated too. We will build this school.” With construction bids about $5.7 million over the $30 million budget, some residents have worried for weeks that the project could be scrapped. “We knew this would be a complex project with phased construction,” said community resident Mike Ellis. “This does not represent good planning. It appears we did not budget sufficiently.” The bid was the first for a 2008 bond project to go over budget. The economic downturn has produced construction project savings so far of about $11 million. Many residents say they are mistrustful because the school board spent bond money listed for Ragsdale High and Jamestown Middle School on other voter-approved school projects on the 2003 bond referendum list. Several residents suggested using the $11 million to cover the Ragsdale project. “But that money does not exist until those projects are completed,” Duncan said. Andy LaRowe, the school district’s interim chief of operations, said school officials and architects will take about 90 days to get the project back on track. “We have ideas about what we do next, but no answers,” he said.

Triad residents weigh in on gun rights decision BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Many city residents say they support a Supreme Court ruling this week that strengthens Second Amendment protections concerning the right to bear arms. In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Americans have the right to own a gun for self-defense regardless of where they live. A majority of the justices ruled for the plaintiffs who challenged a handgun ban implemented by the city of Chicago. The ruling means that state, county and municipal governments will have a higher legal bar to clear in order to implement restrictions on firearms. “I believe we do have the right to own firearms,” said High Point resident Kevin Smith, 23, who was shopping on N. Main Street on Tuesday. “It’s in the Constitu-

Bruce Davis cleared for state Senate run on fall ballot BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – Bruce Davis of High Point succeeded Tuesday in his upstart petition campaign to secure a spot on the fall general election ballot as an unaffiliated candidate for the 28th State Senate District seat. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted unanimously to certify Davis as a third candidate. Davis will join Democrat Gladys Robinson of Pleasant Garden and Republican Trudy Wade, a member of Greensboro City Council, on the Nov. 2 ballot. Davis, a longtime Democrat on the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, launched his petition drive in early March after the candidate filing period concluded in late Febru-

The three-member elections board certified 5,192 petition signatures out of 8,309 submitted by Bruce Davis. ary. Davis sought the seat as a Democrat in the May 2008 primary against Sen. Katie Dorsett, D-Guilford, who’s held the post for eight years. Dorsett, who’s retiring after this year, defeated Davis in 2008. On the last day of the filing period in February, Dorsett withdrew from her re-election bid and said she would retire. At a press conference in High Point in early March,

Davis said that he would have filed for the 28th State Senate District had he known ahead of time that Dorsett, who’s from Greensboro, would retire. The district, with a high proportion of registered Democratic voters, includes parts of High Point, Greensboro and southern Guilford County. Davis launched his petition drive because he claims he was kept in the

dark about Dorsett’s retirement by Greensboro political power brokers. Dorsett and Robinson, longtime friends, have denied any wrongdoing and pointed out that Davis could have filed in February during the three-week filing period. Davis needed to secure 4,837 signatures, or 4 percent, of 28th State Senate District residents, to gain a place on the ballot. The three-member elections board certified 5,192 petition signatures out of 8,309 submitted by Davis, said Charlie Collicutt, deputy elections director. “It’s been a long journey, and one where I’ve learned a lot,” Davis told the board members and staff during their meeting at the Old Guilford County Courthouse in Greensboro.

Cleared for Senate run.1A

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – Voters going to the polls Nov. 2 might do a double-take when they see the name of High Pointer Bruce Davis twice on the general election ballot. Davis will show up two times before voters – once as a Democrat for his longtime District 1 Guilford County Board of Commissioners seat, then as an unaffiliated candidate in the 28th State Senate District contest. Davis is unopposed for

his commissioner’s post. In the Senate race, he’ll join Democrat Gladys Robinson of Pleasant Garden and Republican Trudy Wade, a Greensboro councilwoman. The general election winner will replace retiring Sen. Katie Dorsett, DGuilford. Davis filed for re-election as a commissioner in February during the candidate filing period for this year’s election. Davis has said if he had known before the last day of the filing period that Dorsett would withdraw from the 28th State Senate District race and retire, Davis would have filed for the Senate race instead. Dorsett, who’s from Greensboro, trounced Davis in the

costing them the seat. Some Democrats say Davis could siphon away enough votes in the Democratic-leaning district to allow Wade to win. North Carolina Democrats are particularly concerned this year because several Democratic senators aren’t seeking re-election, and party faithful worry about losing control of the N.C. General Assembly chamber, where they have a 10-seat margin now. No one showed up at the board of elections meeting Tuesday to object to Davis’ petition to run for the 28th State Senate District seat.

28th State Senate District Democratic primary two years ago. Davis took advantage of a seldom-used election law that allows a candidate to gather enough signatures to run for another office, even if they are on the ballot for a separate race. Davis’ petition for an unaffiliated place on the 28th State Senate District ballot was approved by the Guilford County Board of Elections Tuesday. If Davis were to win both races, he could only take the oath of office for one post. Some area Democrats have told The High Point Enterprise publicly and privately that they are worried about Davis’ unaffiliated bid

Thomasville firefighters rescued off coast BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Three Thomasville firefighters were rescued off the coast of North Carolina after their boat overturned Tuesday morning. A 24-foot Coast Guard shallow water rescue boat and a crew from a boat towing service called TowBoat U.S. pulled the three men

from Beaufort Inlet on Tuesday. The crew of another boat had contacted Coast Guard Station Fort Macon and reported that a boat had overturned. “My understanding is that when the boat capsized, they were hanging on to the hull of the boat until the rescue came,” Thomasville Fire Chief Martin Dailey said Tuesday afternoon. TowBoat U.S. arrived

RANDOLPH COUNTY – A 3-year-old child died Tuesday after falling into a pool on Golden Meadow Road in Ashe-

boro, according to the Randolph County Sheriff’s office. Deputies said they were called at about 11:15 a.m. and arrived to find EMS workers already at

the scene giving CPR to the child, WXII-12 News reported. The child was taken to Randolph Hospital where he was pronounced dead. No other details were

a “clear win” for North Carolina residents. “Most importantly, North Carolina will be positioned to fully recover from this global economic recession.” The measure includes no broad tax increases but provides a tax credit to small businesses for a portion of their unemployment insurance tax. It also includes more money for Perdue to try to recruit companies to the state with economic incentives. The Democrats said they closed an estimated $800 million budget gap by reducing spending by more than 3 percent compared to what was slated for use in the second year of the two-year budget that was approved last summer. Lawmakers also had to narrow a $519 million gap created because Congress hasn’t approved additional Medicaid funds as expected, in part by reducing spending an additional 1 percentage point.

We don’t have money,” said Rep. Johnathan Rhyne, R-Lincoln. “This bill is legislative malpractice. I won’t have a part of it.” House members asked several questions about a provision that would replace two Medicaid programs that pay for aides to help about 38,000 people living at home with bathing, cooking and other personal care needs. About 20,000 patients ultimately would continue to receive Medicaid assistance under the new programs, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services.

The commission approved the rezoning of approximately 1.1 acres at the southeast corner of N. Main Street and E. Bellevue Drive to a highway business district. Both 2926 and 2928 N. Main St. were included in the rezoning. The bank requested the rezoning so that it could lease the property to a mobile storage company that sells storage units there, said Herb Shannon, senior planner with the planning

The property was purchased by the bank several years ago when it had originally planned to build a new branch there, said Bev Koontz, who represented the bank at the meeting. “They have since realized their needs have changed and are wanting to lease the property to this gentleman who owns the mobile storage business,” Koontz told the commission. The request, which was the sole item on the commission’s agenda, will go before the High Point City Council at 5:30 p.m. on July 19 in city hall.

Finch Farm Road detour brings back yesteryear The existence of a working time machine has just been proven! I have lived on Finch Farm Road right below what used to be the Wheatmore Dairy Farm for pretty much all of my life. As a boy, I can remember hot summer days when maybe a couple dozen cars would pass all day long! My world was a lot quieter then. I could ride my bicycle almost two miles down the road to my best friend’s house and pass only a few cars. On Saturdays, if you were outside at noon, you could hear the testing of the Civil Defense siren in Thomasville and, from my front yard, I could hear trains passing through town. On Sundays, you could hear the sounds of churches miles away as their bells, real and recorded, sounded off. At night, the sounds of insects seemed to scream. These sounds are covered now by the sounds of cars and thumping stereos and guns shooting and all of the other noises that

Poor customer service turns potential business away I keep hearing how hard it is to find a job, yet I am experienc-

ing the worst customer service in history. For example, I was at a dry cleaner on N. Main Street last week. The girl waiting on me stopped waiting on me to answer her cell phone. I even asked her if it was her personal phone or the business phone. She plainly told me it was her cell phone. I found this to be ridiculous. Why couldn’t she have finished waiting on me, and then answered her phone? When I complained to the manager, I was told that if I didn’t like the way they did things, I could take my business elsewhere. I called their headquarters in Greensboro and left a message for the owner to call me. I was told that he didn’t return phone calls. What a pitiful way to run a business. Can you imagine how busy this dry cleaner would be if they fired the manager and all the employees and started over? Of course, the owner would probably need to be replaced as well,

since he could care less about customer service either! Customer service is the key to a successful business. ASHLEY WHITT High Point

Teacher pay incentive is crucial

Barbara Ann Surratt Hogan, 316 W. First St., Denton 27239; 859-4269 h

he Guilford County Board of Education voted 9-2 last week to seek a $12.5 million grant from the federal Teacher Initiative Fund, a pool of money aimed at improving low-performing schools across the nation. On the face of it, one might view this as a step forward for Guilford, a move that would bring federal funds into the county with the intent of improving low-performing schools. But a deeper look shows this new program would be a step backward from efforts in Guilford under its Mission Possible program, which began in 2006 in 22 schools. Since 2007, Mission Possible has directed additional funds from another federal initiative to attract highly motivated, qualified teachers and principals to 30 low-performing schools. The program pays incentives for working in schools with historically higher populations of lower-performing students. Reviews of this program have shown it to be successful. But money from the Teacher Initiative Fund won’t be disbursed to pay those incentives as Mission Possible does. And even worse, Guilford school officials propose to scale back Mission Possible significantly and change the way its funds are disbursed. That’s a significant step backward. Under the new TIF program, all employees in a school – not just teachers and principals – qualify for performance-based bonuses, including staff, lunchroom employees and bus drivers. Board member Garth Hebert of High Point rightly voted against this new TIF funding program (Nancy Routh also voted no). Hebert correctly contends that incentive funds to attract teachers and principals to low-performing schools also should be part of any program that aims to improve those schools. Our concern is that Guilford school officials may be backing away from the Mission Possible concept because of complaints that under the program teachers and principals in some schools receive higher pay than those in other schools. But that’s a key part of Mission Possible – attract teachers and principals eager to take on the challenges at those schools by paying them more. Unfortunately, too many involved with schools today think all school faculty members should receive the same pay, all schools should get the same amount of money per student for educational purposes and all schools should receive the same amount of money for facilities. That’s just an impractical view that must change before any initiative for school improvement works fully.

What is the impact of court’s gun law ruling?

ow that the Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the Second Amendment to the Constitution means that individual Americans have a right to bear arms, what can we expect? Those who have no confidence in ordinary Americans may expect a bloodbath, as the benighted masses start shooting each other, now that they can no longer be denied guns by their betters. People who think we shouldn’t be allowed to make our own medical decisions, or decisions about which schools our children attend, certainly are not likely to be happy with the idea that we can make our own decisions about how to defend ourselves. When you stop and think about it, there is no obvious reason why issues like gun control should be ideological issues in the first place. It is ultimately an empirical question whether allowing ordinary citizens to have firearms will increase or decrease the amount of violence. Many people who are opposed to gun laws which place severe restrictions on ordinary citizens owning firearms have based themselves on the Second Amendment to the Constitution. But, while the Supreme Court must make the Second Amendment the basis of its rulings on gun control laws, there is no reason why the Second Amendment should be the last word for the voting public. If the end of gun control leads to a bloodbath of runaway shootings, then the Second Amendment can be repealed, just as other Constitutional Amendments have been repealed. Laws exist for people, not people for laws. There is no point arguing, as many people do, that it is difficult to amend the Constitution. The fact that it doesn’t happen very often doesn’t mean that it is difficult. The people may not want it to happen, even if the intelligentsia are itching to change it. When the people wanted it to happen, the Constitution was amended 4 times in 8 years, from 1913 through 1920. What all this means is that judges and the voting public have different roles. There is no reason why judges should “consider the basic values that underlie a constitutional provision and their contemporary significance,” as Justice Stephen Breyer said in his dissent against the Supreme Court’s gun control decision.

But, as the great Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said, his job was “to see that the game is played according to the rules whether I like them or not.” If the public doesn’t like the rules, or the consequences to OPINION which the rules lead, then the public can change the rules via Thomas the ballot box. But that is very Sowell different from judges chang■■■ ing the rules by verbal sleight of hand, or by talking about “weighing of the constitutional right to bear arms” against other considerations, as Justice Breyer puts it. That’s not his job. Not if “we the people” are to govern ourselves, as the Constitution says. As for the merits or demerits of gun control laws themselves, a vast amount of evidence, both from the United States and from other countries, shows that keeping guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens does not keep guns out of the hands of criminals. It is not uncommon for a tightening of gun control laws to be followed by an increase – not a decrease – in gun crimes, including murder. Conversely, there have been places and times where an increase in gun ownership has been followed by a reduction in crimes in general and murder in particular. Unfortunately, the media intelligentsia tend to favor gun control laws, so a lot of hard facts about the futility, or the counterproductive consequences of such laws, never reach the public through the media. We hear a lot about countries with stronger gun control laws than the United States that have lower murder rates. But we very seldom hear about countries with stronger gun control laws than the United States that have higher murder rates, such as Russia and Brazil. The media, like Justice Breyer, might do well to reflect on what is their job and what is the voting public’s job. The media’s job should be to give us the information to make up our own minds, not slant and filter the news to fit the media’s vision.

Really study T-threat T

he T-word was back in the news recenlty as the U.S. Supreme Court upheld laws barring material support to “terrorist” organizations, even if, in the words of Chief Justice John Roberts, “the supporters meant to promote only the groups’ nonviolent ends.” In the latest National Security Strategy, published last month by the Obama Administration, the word “terrorism” in its various forms – terror, terrorist, etc. – appears 57 times. The nub of the document’s 52 pages, essentially consistent with the view of prior administrations, is: “The American people face no greater or more urgent danger than a terrorist attack with a nuclear weapon.” These ambiguously defined nuke-toting terrorists would seem to include all foes – political, religious or simply demented – who target civilians with violence. Indeed, the threats we face, especially within our own borders, have become so sweeping that to speak of a “terrorist attack” is the same as saying, “we fear attacks by attackers.” Since 9/11, when so much changed in our view of domestic threats and foreign policies, we seem at times to be bogged down in a war of words. Terrorism, for instance, is a tactic, not a opponent. Moreover, it is a tactic sometimes practiced by states as well as non-state groups. It is difficult to defeat an enemy without first identifying it and understanding its ideology. Such work is occurring at the Monterey Institute of International Studies in California, where this fall the nation’s first masters program will be offered in nonproliferation and terrorism. Among the early lessons taught by Jeffrey Bale, the director of terrorism research, is that “most definitions of terrorism – including those employed by many government agencies – are imprecise if not seriously misleading.” According to Bale, terrorists select victims “for their symbolic or representative value, as a means of instilling anxiety in, transmitting one or more messages to, and thereby manipulating the attitudes and behavior of a wider target audience or audiences.” “Even within the U.S. government,” he adds, “there are probably 13 different definitions of terrorism, and most of them miss the point. What about the nuclear threat, the one given so much weight by government policy makers? “I don’t think it’s a particularly imminent threat,” says Bale. “Within the vast array of extremist groups that use violence, there’s only a small subset that’s interested in using chemical, biological or radiological materials, and within that group there’s an even smaller subset with the resources and means to do it. Such an attack is not likely.” But the most controversial element in the Obama administration’s security statement isn’t defining terrorism or its weapons of choice, but whether to put a face – or at least a clear label – on the

“enemy.” Even more so than the Bush administration, current leadership is fearful of identifying violent Islamist extremists as the greatest threat to U.S. security. Obama’s top adviser on OPINION terrorism, John O. Brennan, insists that terms Peter “jihadists” or “Islamists” Funt are inappropriate because ■■■ their use would “play into the false perception” that al-Qaeda and its affiliates are “religious leaders and defending a holy cause, when in fact, they are nothing more than murderers.” Bale, an Obama supporter, sees it differently. “This is the one area of his policy that is potentially catastrophic. It’s just muddying the waters and making it impossible for people to clearly understand the agenda of the enemy.” What undoubtedly concerns the administration is that so many Americans incorrectly see all Muslims as enemies, real or potential; worse, that an increasing number of the world’s peace loving Muslims believe such a distorted view to be U.S. policy. Which approach would best address the problem: not labeling an enemy so as to avoid misperception? Or carefully identifying the violent Islamist component to make clear that the vast majority of the world’s billion Muslims do not fall within those ranks? Seeking to understand and properly identify our enemies is certainly a battle worth waging. PETER FUNT is a writer and public speaker.

NYC is special attraction for budding musician

ew York City. Too busy, too crazy. Big. Too hot. Loud. Too cramped. Tough. I found all these descriptions to be true when I visited the city this summer but still I can’t get enough. Why not? The little grocery stores cram- packed with alarming volumes of candy bars, nuts, ice cream, cans, water, and fruits and vegetables out front. Eating in Applebee’s and paying a fortune for hamburgers but being able to see the Gershwin Theatre out the window. Walking past the New York Times skyscraper with people who walk by it every day. Shopping at H&M and meeting a kid visiting the city from England who just bought six pairs of shoes. Swimming in a rooftop pool. Eating a cheesecake from Junior’s as big as my face. And yes, even getting blisters from walking to Broadway (and taking a wrong turn). Of course, to me, Broadway is half the point of New York. Seeing the posters advertising musicals new and old gets my blood pumping with excitement. Not only do I long to enjoy songs like “Hakuna Matata” from “The Lion King” or “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from “Hairspray” in a live show, but I also long to be a part of them. Not that I expect to become a Broadway diva, but I do hope to someday make it into a role that never gets the spotlight: a musician in the pit. The pit may sound like the theatre’s underworld, but actually it’s a very respectable position for musicians. Those who perform in this capacity will tell you that being part of an opera, ballet, or musical is a magical experience. But could I really become

good enough to make it to a theatre orchestra on Broadway? Of course I can. Being a great musician doesn’t take some mystical talent that one must be born with to possess; it TEEN VIEW takes lots of hard work and determination. It Julie takes seeing a challenge Fox and going after it with ■■■ everything you’ve got. When you do that, you can expect miracles. Albert Einstein knew this when he said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” If Albert Einstein, the guy who discovered all that crazy physics, claimed that success comes from perseverance, not undiscovered stores of brains or talent (although both of these are nice), then maybe we should follow his example. And who cares if I don’t actually make it to Broadway? There are a million and one other places at which I could be just as happy and successful. The point is that I tried; I reached for the moon, and even though I didn’t catch it, I was able to catch a star on the way down. Even if I personally never make it to the legendary stage in NYC, I’m hoping I’ll know someone who eventually will. I have several friends who aspire to be actors, and to them, I wish them the best. Maybe they’ll even be able to get me into a few shows for free. Teen View columnist JULIE FOX is a recent graduate of High Point Christian Academy.

Gulf takes a big gulp as tropical storm nears GRAND ISLE, La. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C;The crashing waves and gusting winds churned up by Tropical Storm Alex put the Gulf oil spill largely in Mother Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands Tuesday. Regardless of whether the storm makes things worse or better, it has turned many people fighting the spill into spectators. Oil-scooping ships in the Gulf of Mexico steamed to safe refuge be-

cause of the rough seas, which likely will last for days. Officials scrambled

to reposition boom to protect the coast, and had to remove barges that had been blocking oil from reaching sensitive wetlands. Alex is projected to stay far from the spill zone and is not expected to affect recovery efforts at the site of the blown offshore well that continues to spew crude, but the stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outer edges were causing problems. Waves were as high as 12

feet in parts of the Gulf, according to the National Weather Service. In at least one area of coastal Louisiana, the waves were tossing oilsoaking boom around and forcing crews to take precious time putting it back in place. However, oily water was not yet crashing over it. U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Dave French said all skimming efforts had been halted for now.

French said workers were using the time off the water to replenish supplies and perform maintenance work. Meanwhile, the United States is accepting help from 12 countries and international organizations in dealing with the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The State Department said in a statement on Tuesday that the U.S. is working out the particulars of the help

thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been accepted. Vice President Joe Biden visited Gulf Coast residents Tuesday.

McChrystal to retire with 4 stars WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gen. Stanley McChrystal, fired from his job as commander of the Afghanistan war after more than three decades in the Army, will be allowed to retire at the rank of four stars. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that the White House will do what it can to ensure McChrystal keeps that rank. McChrystal had been a four-star general for just over a year when President Barack Obama demanded his resignation as Afghan war commander because of scornful remarks made to Rolling Stone magazine. Meanwhile, Gen. David Petraeus left open the possibility of recommending that President Barack Obama delay his plans to start withdrawing troops from Afghanistan next summer.

On Day 2, Kagan deploys humor, artful dodge WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; She cracked wise. She waxed sentimental. And she employed the artful dodge liberally. Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan let some of her personality show through Tuesday as members of the

Senate Judiciary Committee poked into every corner of her legal thinking. And she offered what amounted to a personal declaration of independence when questioned repeatedly about her admiration for her former boss, the

late Justice Thurgood Marshall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love Justice Marshall. He did an enormous amount for me,â&#x20AC;? she told the senators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if you confirm me to this position, you will get Justice Kagan. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get Justice

Byrd to lie in Senate chamber where he served WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sen. Robert C. Byrd, the longest-serving senator in history, often told his colleagues that he loved them, but he loved the Senate more. Fittingly, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Washington will bid him farewell on Thursday, when his body will lie in repose before returning home to West Virginia for a public funeral. The White House says President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Charleston, W.Va., on Friday to attend memorial services for Sen. Byrd. Byrd died Monday at age 92. The West Virginia Democrat was the longest-

serving senator in history. His body will lie in repose inside the U.S. Senate chamber on Thursday before being flown to West Virginia for a public funeral on Friday. Byrdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final appearance on the Senate floor,

where he became famous for soaring oratory and record-setting speeches, will be as historic as the senator himself. A senatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casket last lay in repose there in 1959, the year Byrd joined the chamber.

Marshall, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important thing.â&#x20AC;? Through it all, Kagan didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let her guard down. She skirted questions aplenty on Day 2 of her confirmation hearings, and held her tongue when Republicans gave it to her good.

Robbers break into pawn store through roof BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

On the Web

HIGH POINT – Police on Tuesday were continuing their investigation into a weekend break-in of a south High Point business in which thieves used an unusual method of gaining access to the building. At about 12:04 a.m. Saturday, High Point police officers responded to a burglary-in-progress call at USA Pawn, 1033 S. Main St. According to witnesses, several people were seen on top of the

business while its alarm was going off. When officers arrived, they did not see anyone on the roof. They heard the alarm, began checking the building and found that all the windows and doors were secure. When store employees arrived, they opened the

doors for police and discovered someone had broken into the building by cutting a hole through the roof, police said. When footage from the business’s video surveillance security system was checked, a person could be seen going through the building collecting items and then handing them to another person who was apparently waiting on the roof, police said. Police released some of the footage Tuesday. The person inside the store who appears in the

video is a young black male who was wearing a white T-shirt with a black bandanna covering his face. The suspect was also wearing baggy shorts and black tennis shoes. At one point, the video shows him wiping his face with the shirt while he is turned toward the camera and the bandanna is lowered. After wiping his face, he pulls the bandanna back up and continues rummaging through the store. After gathering several items, the suspect can be

seen standing on a desk and handing them to an apparent accomplice on the roof before climbing through the opening. The suspects stole more than $3,000 worth of merchandise from the store, including six firearms and various electronics. Detectives ask that if anyone recognizes the person in the surveillance videos to call High Point Crimestoppers at 889-4000 or Detective Kim Rieson at 887-7814. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Randolph County’s sales tax will increase Thursday by a quarter-cent to help fund the capital needs of Randolph Community College. The increase was approved by Randolph County voters on March 2 during a special election that drew about 5 percent of the county’s 85,605 registered voters. Fifty-four percent voted in support of the increase, which raises the county’s sales tax to 8 cents. The additional revenue from the quarter-cent increase will be earmarked by the Randolph County Board of Commissioners to fund RCC’s capital needs. The college will use the funds to renovate the former Klaussner building, which was bought in 2008. Renovations to the 46,000-square-foot building will double the space for the college’s machinery and continuing education programs. A new industrial engineering program also is planned to be housed in the former Klaussner plant. “It’s going to be a great facility that’s going to be helping people every day to train in areas where they can get jobs in the county,” RCC President Bob Shackleford said. “That building is going to be an investment in the economic development of Randolph County.” Prior to the referendum vote, the quarter-cent increase was endorsed by the Randolph County Board of Commissioners. “The college came and presented the idea to them, so they would have a dedicated source of revenue and could do some of these projects,” said Will Massie, the county’s finance officer/assistant manager. “The county has spent a lot of money on public schools, but not that much on the college over the past 10 years. That’s about the only thing the college has gotten from us other than the normal annual money we have been giving them. This was a dedicated revenue source and what appealed to the board was that this is pay as you go.” According to Massie, the quartercent increase is expected to generate $2 million each year for the college’s capital needs. The renovations to the Klaussner building will cost about $6.5 million. That cost could be more if the county had to borrow money instead of funding the project with the sales tax increase, Shackleford said. “This way everybody helps for it, even the 750,000 tourists who visit the N.C. Zoo every year and the people eating in our restaurants,” Shackleford said. “It’s not a burden that’s going to be placed on the property owners of Randolph County with interest.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

HIGH POINT – Gardening has become a summer pastime for Guilford County workers. The Department of Public Health and county workers at the Government Plaza in High Point have started vegetable gardens. Several county commissioners have followed the progress of a vegetable garden on the grounds of the Old Courthouse in Greensboro. “It’s the second year for that one and we thought we’d start one for High Point,” Commissioner John Parks, a High Point Democrat, said Monday. The county agencies are donating the garden produce to charities serving the homeless. Employees work the gardens before and after work and during lunch. They also are donating needed tools including plants and seeds. “We already have some tomatoes and cucumbers,” Parks said. The health department garden is located at the agency headquarters shared with the Department of Social Services at 1203 Maple St. in Greensboro. County officials also are supervising a Government Plaza beautification project. Workers have been cutting down tree limbs and some trees. “We are thinking about filling those clear spots with statues,” Park said. There also are ideas about placing flagpoles on the plaza side of the campus that faces the parking garage, Parks said. “Most people enter the courthouse from that side,” Parks said. The cleanup is part of plans to move several courthouse offices to the Centennial Center building at 325 E. Russell Ave., also the new home for DSS in High Point, in August. The county board of elections, tax department and register of deeds will move to the former Amos Hosiery Mill. Most public contact offices will be on the first floor of the 74,000 square-foot building. After the moves, there will be more court-

Mabel C. Grout-Venable HIGH POINT – On June 28, 2010 Mabel C. GroutVenable was honored in her final home going after many decades of preparation for that glorious affirmation of her faith. Mabel had an endearing love of God that flowed through her in her kind, gentle and loving spirit. She was born August 14, 1911 to the late John and Maude Covington in Pulaski County, VA, the first of five children. As a very young girl, her father served three churches on the Easter Shore, MD. She would travel with him to the churches and serve as the congregation’s pianist. She was quick to yield herself to Christ and to grow in faith and grace. When the family moved back to Virginia, Adrian Grout, a singing member of the Kingswood College Men’s Quartet, performed a concert at her father’s church. He was introduced to Mabel and they were married on July 7, 1931. The young couple became the pastors of their first church in Radford, VA. While in Radford, their only son, Adrian Grout Jr. was born in 1932. They soon moved to North Carolina, where Rev. Grout enjoyed promotions at First Wesleyan Churches in Hillsboro, Durham, Troy, and finally to High Point where he pastored the denomination’s latest church in the 1940s. In 1970, Mrs. Grout began the loving service of caring for infants at the Wesleyan Educational Academy and remained there for 20 years. Their 50th wedding anniversary was a long celebrated event in High Point. Soon after, the Grouts accepted the gift of lifetime residency in one of the Wesleyan Arms Apartments, where she lived until 2008. She then moved to the Wesleyan Arms Assisted Living Facility, where she lived until her death. She is survived by her granddaughter and “buddy”, Babette Grout

of Annandale, Virginia; a daughter-in-law, Janie Grout of Oklahoma City, OK, whom she loved like her own daughter; 3 stepchildren, Don Lanier of Tyler, TX, Sherri Lanier of Oklahoma City, OK, Chance and Alisha Fleming of McKinney, TX, 2 great-granddaughters, Allison and Kate Fleming of McKinney, TX; 1 beloved sister, Lindel Hadden and husband, Niles of Louisville, KY; 2 special nephews, Russ and Sue Norris of New Bern, NC and Dr. and Mrs. David Hadden of Buford GA.

Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clutter complex causes daughter concern

ear Abby: I know some people are obsessed with hoarding things. Is it possible to have an obsession about throwing things away? My mother seems bent on removing every item from our home. Every time I went away as a kid, boxes of books and toys would disappear from my room. I resorted to hiding things I wanted to keep. Since I have left for college, 90 percent of my belongings have been thrown out or given to Goodwill. She even gave away two dolls I have had since I was a baby and which were of great sentimental value to me. Mother was well aware of it. She recently became adamant that I get rid of some dresses and a pair of winter boots to â&#x20AC;&#x153;prepare for the change in seasons.â&#x20AC;? Abby, the boots were less than six months old, and the dress was brand-new! Could she have a serious problem? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Emily in Atlanta Dear Emily: Yes, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what you think. It appears your mother regards you not as an individual, but as an extension of herself. Therefore, in her mind what is yours is really hers to do with as she wishes. She should not be giving away your possessions unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by mutual consent. And yes, it is a serious problem because

ADVICE

it will negatively affect your relationship in the future, if it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already.

Dear Abby: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Susanâ&#x20AC;? and I â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; have been married for many years. After our sons left for college, my wife began experiencing â&#x20AC;&#x153;empty-nest syndrome,â&#x20AC;? so I surprised her with two cats. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not wild about cats, but I knew sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be pleased. Big mistake! Susan is constantly doting on her â&#x20AC;&#x153;babiesâ&#x20AC;? (as she calls them). Her time is spent brushing them, talking to them, playing with them and photographing them. When we do have a little feline-free time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent talking about them. I have grown more and more annoyed with these spoiled cats who have 100 percent of her attention. I have tried expressing my feelings, but she reminds me that I was the one who â&#x20AC;&#x153;adoptedâ&#x20AC;? them in the first place. Any suggestions? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hubby in Purr-gatory Dear Abby

Dear Hubby: You may have been the one who adopted the cats, but your wife has gone overboard. Tell her that unless she reorganizes her priorities and makes some time for her hus-

band, her husband may adopt a â&#x20AC;&#x153;kittenâ&#x20AC;? of his own. Dear Abby: I am an 11-year-old girl. My brother, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jason,â&#x20AC;? and I have always been close friends. Summer, for me, means wearing tank tops and shorts, but Jason doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the idea. He tells me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m showing too much skin and that boys will stare at me. I used to think Jason was silly. So far, he has liked only one of my outfits this summer. Now that I think about it, my shorts are pretty small. Is my brother just being protective? Or do you think I should try to wear clothes that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show a lot of my skin? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Staying Cool in Harrisburg, Pa. Dear Staying Cool: Not knowing your brother, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what may be motivating him. I assume that when you are shopping for outfits, your mother has some input in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being purchased. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I think you should address this question to her. She can tell you whether your brother is being overprotective or if his fashion sense is on target.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Environmental activist Erin Brockovich says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worried about the impact of the former smelting operations of Alcoa Inc. in North Carolina. Brockovich appeared in Raleigh on Tuesday to discuss her concerns about the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations along the Yadkin River. She says the smelting plant polluted the water. Officials are considering whether Alcoa should get licenses to operate dams on the river for up to half a century.

uestion: I think I have cutworms. I have vegetable plants that were just mowed down. They look like they have been chewed around and above the ground. Is there anything I can do?

Answer: Black cutworms do most of their feeding at soil level. However, larvae will feed above ground until about the fourth instar. An instar is a developmental stage of insects, between each molt until sexual maturity is reached. In the home garden, barriers are sometimes useful to prevent damage to seedlings by cutworms. Metal or waxed paper containers with both the top and bottom removed can be placed around the plant stem to deter consumption. Aluminum foil can be wrapped around the stem to achieve a similar effect. Because larvae will burrow and feed below the soil line it is necessary to extend to barrier below the soil surface. Because black cutworm moths, which easily circumvent such barriers, are active dur-

Answer: Cucumbers are susceptible to bacterial wilt that is transmitted by striped and spotted cucumber beetles. The best method for control of this disease is to control the cucumber beetles. The slicing cucumber cultivar â&#x20AC;&#x153;County Fairâ&#x20AC;? has some tolerance to bacterial wilt. MASTER GARDENERS will answer questions on horticultural topics. Karen C.

hen Glenn High School Principal Brad Craddock was a teenager, he dreamed of playing professional baseball. Indeed, his dedication and discipline won him a scholarship to play ball at Mount Olive College and, later, Guilford College. And, though baseball never offered him a professional career, it did give him a handle on life. ABOVE â&#x20AC;&#x153;The AND obvious BEYOND lesson that you Patty Jo learn from Sawvel batting â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; averages is that you are going to fail a whole lot between your successes. But another valuable lesson for me was the matter of how to handle failures,â&#x20AC;? Craddock said. According to Craddock, the key to handling failure is to recognize the win-fail cycle. After hitting a winning home run, Craddock only allowed himself that â&#x20AC;&#x153;top of the worldâ&#x20AC;? feeling for a couple of days before he reminded himself that another failure was inevitable. Likewise, when he missed a key play, Craddock reminded himself that success was right around the corner. By keeping his emotions in check, Craddock found that he was a much better player. These lessons were particularly useful when Craddock suffered disappointments on the way to obtaining his first appointment as principal. Two of the biggest disappointments happened back-toback when Craddock was a finalist but was passed over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a big blow, especially the second time. I spent a couple of days grieving and moaning, but then out of the ashes came a great opportunity,â&#x20AC;? Craddock said. Craddock was chosen to participate in a Principalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Executive Program (PEP) with the goal of redesigning Atkins High School into an academic and technology high school. For four years, Craddock immersed himself in books, visited dozens of schools in the state and schools in Boston, Chicago and New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The PEP program helped me grow my leadership and fine-tune my vision. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m convinced that the relationships between staff, students, parents and the business community are key to a successful school,â&#x20AC;? Craddock said. So when Craddock was hired as principal at Glenn, he was ready for the task. Recently, on Senior Awards Day, Craddock was teary-eyed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the thing I love to do,â&#x20AC;? he told the students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to continue to move forward and to find the career that you love. Then, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get up every day and go to your job, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never go to work.â&#x20AC;?

Not all hepatitis comes from an infection

ear Dr. Donohue: I am very worried about my 50-yearold daughter. She’s hospitalized with hepatitis, which I thought always came from an infection. My daughter’s hepatitis didn’t come from an infection. It’s immune hepatitis. Please tell me what this is and what it involves. Is it deadly? My daughter is the single mother of three children. Her husband died in an auto accident three years ago. I don’t know how I can take care of these children. I am 85. – M.M.

BLONDIE

When people hear “hepatitis,” they immediately think of viral infections of the liver – hepatitis A, B and C. “Hepatitis” indicates liver inflammation and liver cell death. Autoimmune hepatitis isn’t an infection. The body’s immune system suddenly targets the liver as though it were a foreign invader and needs to be put out of commission. Why this happens isn’t clear. The immune system is one of our chief protections against invading germs and materials that do us harm. Here, it has gone rogue and is bent on destroying the liver. The signs and symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis are similar to hepatitis from infections and from other causes. The person feels quite ill and must go to bed. Jaundice is common. Jaundice is a yellowing of the

skin and the whites of the eyes. It indicates that the liver isn’t functioning. HEALTH Untreated, the Dr. Paul mortality Donohue rate from ■■■ autoimmune hepatitis is quite appalling. It’s as high as 40 percent. Treatment makes it a much less dangerous illness. The 10-year survival rate of treated patients approaches 90 percent. Your daughter’s chances of living a long life are quite good. The cortisone drugs prednisone and prednisolone are the medicines used for controlling this malady, and they work well. They calm the inflamed liver and put an end to its destruction. Other medicines that rein in a misbehaving immune system are also available. Your daughter’s chances for surviving and remaining her children’s caretaker are very high. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have had a urinary tract infection for longer than a year. I have taken antibiotic after antibiotic, without any improvement. I have pain in my bladder area, and I must run to the bathroom many, many times throughout the day. I’m afraid to leave my home. Have you ever heard of a urinary tract infection

lasting for longer than a year? – A.P. I haven’t, unless there are very special circumstances. You have none of those. You need to get proof of infection. That can be done with a simple urinalysis and with a culture of the urine for bacteria. Without such proof, the diagnosis of infection is on shaky grounds. Your story has all the markings of interstitial cystitis, a bladder condition that is frequently mistaken as an infection and for which antibiotics have no effect. You need to see a gynecologist, a urogynecologist or a urologist. Specifically ask the doctor about interstitial cystitis. Treatment for it is quite different from that of an infection. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am confused about medicine-taking. When the directions say to take the medicine every six hours, does that mean exactly every six hours, or can it be spaced out during the waking hours? I usually get eight hours of sleep. – N.D. If the doctor has explicitly emphasized the need to take a particular medicine as close to every six hours as humanly possible, those directions should be followed. For many medicines, every six hours can be interpreted as four times a day during your waking hours.

Corn and Mozzarella Salad uses fresh produce to bring the taste of Italy to your summer dinner table.

Summer’s bounty Cookbooks present ideas on how to use fresh produce BY MICHELE KAYAL FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ight about now farmers market devotees start coming home with more than they know what to do with, simply because it’s all so beautiful. But an unusually good crop of produce-centered cookbooks offers inventive ways to use the bounty to its best advantage. Susie Middleton’s “Fast, Fresh and Green” injects your cooking with a little “Huah!!” and offers a strategy for decoding and deploying a greater variety of vegetables. Built around foundation recipes for eight different cooking techniques such as grilling, roasting and sauteing, the book teaches home cooks how to handle different vegetables, and then offers suggestions for enlivening them. Roasted cauliflower gets a Moroccan feel from orange zest and olives and the simple sassy slaw strikes a Southwest note with lime, cilantro and Serrano peppers (technique: No Cooking). Great book for vegephobics or people stuck in a steamed broccoli rut. “Cooking from the Garden” by Ruth Lively features more than 200 recipes that aim to move the greens from your backyard to your table with minimal fuss. With the big, blocky look of an elementary school textbook, the book offers quick, comfy fare such as tomatoes in shallotflavored cream (cooking time about 5 minutes), stir-fried shrimp with asparagus, and chicken pot pie with rosemary biscuits. Home gardeners will appreciate the section on turning your piles of borage and lemon verbena into herbal teas. To answer the inevitable “But what do you do with it?” that comes after discovering some new treat at the market, Sur La Table’s “Eating Local” ingeniously organizes recipes according to ingredient. Fava beans? Toss them with corn and bacon for a smoky succotash. Kohlrabi? Saute with butter and dill. Enticing preparations will also get you over the hump of making the same things over and over. Beets join up with tahini for a rich, creamy dip, while their tops are sauteed and served with whipped feta. The book gets a big dose of soul – and a warm fuzzy feeling about eating local — from lushly photographed farmer profiles. Cathy Thomas’ “Melissa’s Everyday Cooking with Organic Produce” also is organized by ingredient, but caters to broader tastes. Created by Melissa’s World Variety Produce, one of the country’s leading distributors, recipes such as chicken breast with apricots and green bean casserole hit a comforting note. Packed with nutritional information, tips on selecting and storing produce, and discussions of different

“Fast, Fresh and Green” by Susie Middleton (Chronicle Books, 2010) “Cooking from the Garden” by Ruth Lively (Taunton Press, 2010) “Eating Local,” Sur La Table with Janet Fletcher (Andrews McMeel, 2010) “Melissa’s Everyday Cooking with Organic Produce” by Cathy Thomas (Wiley Hardcover, 2010) “Tomato: A Fresh-from-the-Vine Cookbook” by Lawrence Davis-Hollander (Storey Publishing, 2010) “Mixt Salads” by Andrew Swallow with Ann Volkwein (Ten Speed Press, 2010) “Farmers’ Market Desserts” by Jennie Schacht (Chronicle Publishing, 2010) “Recipes From an Italian Summer,” (Phaidon Press, 2010) varieties, this is a handy, general guide for all things fruit and vegetable. Several single-subject books let cooks plow the produce into their passions. In “Tomato,” heirloom guru Lawrence Davis-Hollander showcases the sultry balance of sweet and acid in summer’s most eagerly awaited fruit with more than 150 recipes from well-known chefs, including Daniel Boulud, Alice Waters and Deborah Madison. Standards such as fried green tomatoes and traditional marinara sauce mingle with Middle Eastern “pizza” spiked with allspice and rabbit paella bursting with heirlooms. Tarts stacked with orange, yellow, red and green gems are the stuff of bakery windows. An indispensable guide for tomato lovers. And lest you think salad is boring, chef Andrew Swallow’s “Mixt Salads” offers innovative flavor and texture combinations that propel the genre beyond a bowl of cold vegetables. Organized according to season, a spring salad of English peas and morels gets goosed up with watercress and aged sherry vinegar. And perhaps summer’s most seductive salad is a gentle cascade of lamb’s lettuce caressed by floral lychees and the fresh, green essence of cucumbers. For your sweet tooth, “Farmers’ Market Desserts” by Jennie Schacht offers more than 50 recipes for all those berries, plums and peaches. Amid traditional recipes for pies and buckles, surprises such as easy chocolate cherry cupcakes frosted with chocolate sour cream icing and chilled plum soup with sour cream give summer’s candy a show-stopping twist. With recipes for petite salted caramel apples and ginger pear skillet cake, the book will also take you into autumn and throughout the year.

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Fantasia Barrino, 26; Monica Potter, 39; Mike Tyson, 44; Vincent D’Onofrio, 51 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You need a new direction to help you bring order back into your life. Don’t shy away from the unknown. Responsibilities may mount this year but they will also teach you a valuable lesson that will help you for years to come. Follow your heart. Your numbers are 2, 12, 16, 22, 28, 33, 49 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Problems with institutions will prevail if you haven’t done everything according to the rules. Don’t let changes you cannot prevent unravel you. Just figure out how to make the alterations and challenges in your life work to your advantage. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t give in to anyone giving you an ultimatum. Stick to the people you know best and the places that bring you the most enjoyment. A job that you take responsibility for will be challenging. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take everything you have experienced and learned in the past and utilize it to generate added income. A hobby, skill or talent may be worth more than you realize. Don’t take a pass on something that may seem trivial at the time. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): The more you can do on your own, the better control you will have over your situation. Added responsibilities are apparent and should be dealt with consistently or you may be accused of favoritism. Don’t let love cost you your reputation. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let your emotions cost you. As soon as you are deceptive or refuse to see things the way they really are, you can expect to lose. Open communication is the only way to get what you want. Love is in the stars and can conquer all if handled right. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you have a talent or skill, put a price tag on it. An unusual sideline can be the determining factor between just making your monthly expenses and having a little left over for entertainment. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Find out what you can about a procedure that will add to your confidence or help you change something about which you are self-conscious. The funds to pay for what you are planning may not be readily available but, with a tight budget and extra jobs, you can move forward. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Deception is apparent when it comes to dealing with partners or with creative work that you share with someone. If you haven’t laid down some ground rules, do so before it’s too late. Don’t lose someone or something because you didn’t speak up. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t send the wrong signal. Love and romance appear to be muddling your train of thought. Be responsible if you want to avoid having to live up to a promise that is costly emotionally and financially. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Joint ventures may be enticing but, before you venture down that path, find out what everyone has to offer and don’t exceed that amount. A partnership is likely to turn into a burden you can do without. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may be scared and emotionally up and down about your current situation. Embrace what you are heading into with a positive attitude and you will get something out of the experience. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Secrets must be kept that way. If you share with someone you work with, eventually what you are hiding will surface. You may feel the urge to make changes at home but make sure you are doing so for the right reason. ★★★

“I believe in looking reality straight in the eye,” Garrison Keillor has said, “and denying it.” In today’s deal, South found himself launched into four spades even though he’d done his best to sign off at a partial. West led the king of clubs, and when East played the four, West shifted to a heart. South took the ace, cashed the A-K of diamonds, ruffed a heart and ruffed a diamond in dummy. When the East-West diamonds broke 3-3, South was in sight of his game. Alas, when he next led the ace and another trump and East followed with the nine, South ... finessed with the ten. The defense got two trumps, and the result was down one.

spade. West can’t hold the king.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 8 5 H A Q 7 2 D A K C Q 9 7 2. You open one club, and your partner responds one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say?

CLEAR ERROR The reality was that South made a clear error. West hadn’t opened the bidding: His “balancing” bid of 1NT suggested at most 11 points, and he had shown the A-K of clubs and queen of diamonds (and might have the jack of hearts). If South is in touch with reality, he’ll put up his queen on the second

ANSWER: To describe a balanced hand with 19 points – which is what you have – jump to 2NT. Your bid is strongly invitational but not forcing. A “reverse” bid of two hearts would show extra strength but would be an error. It would suggest longer clubs than hearts. West dealer N-S vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Total Project Cost= $1,950,000; Total NSP Cost=$1,300,000; NSP/Total Cost Percent= 67% General Location – Greensboro, NC in Guilford County, NC

Find What You’re Looking for in a Snap!

Specific location – 109 Greenbriar Road, Greensboro, NC 27405 FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT North Carolina Department of Commerce has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at 301 West Main Street, Durham, NC and also at North Carolina Division of Community Assistance, 100 E. Six Forks Road., Raleigh, NC and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to North Carolina Department of Commerce Division of Community Assistance at the above address. All comments received by July 15, 2010 will be considered by North Carolina Department of Commerce prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. RELEASE OF FUNDS Commerce certifies to U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development that J. Keith Crisco, in his capacity as Secretary of Commerce consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUDʼs approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the North Carolina Department of Commerce to use Program funds.

Shop the Classifieds for gifts to give yourself and others!

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the North Carolina Departments of Commerceʼs certification for a period of 15 days following July 15, 2010 or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Secretary of Commerce, J.Keith Crisco; (b) the North Carolina Department of Commerce has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the North Carolina Department of Commerce has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by Commerce; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development, Greensboro Field Office, 1500 Pinecroft Road, 4th Floor, Greensboro, NC 27407 or to the Division of Community Assistance at 4313 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-4313. Potential objectors should contact the Division of Community Assistance at 919-571-4965 x237 to verify the actual last day of the objection period. J. Keith Crisco, Secretary June 30, 2010 July 7, 14, 2010

Greensboro becomes golf ‘Tourney Town’ B

asketball has ruled the sporting landscape in Greensboro for so long that the phrase “Tournament Town” is as common a descriptor as “Gate City.” The trend continues this summer when golf – not basketball – takes center stage at Bryan Park Golf & Conference Center. Some of the best amateur golfers in the world will tackle the challenging Champions course from July 12-17 for the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. The 85th year of the championship will be played for the first time at Bryan Park. “We’re very excited to showcase this facility and Greensboro – there’s a reason we’re called ‘Tournament Town,’ “ said Kyle Kolls, the general manager and director of golf at Bryan Park. “It seems like just the other day we were visiting Chicago (after being named the 2010 host), and that was three years ago. Here it is less than two weeks away ... it’s obviously a very exciting time.” There are plenty of reasons for officials with Bryan Park and throughout the Triad to be excited about the event. For starters, hosting a U.S. Public Links is a great way to begin a relationship with the United States Golf Association. The USGA has conducted 24 championships throughout the state over the years, and the Publinx will be one of three this year alone: The U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship comes to Pinehurst at The Country Club of North Carolina from July 19-24 and the U.S. Women’s Amateur takes place at Charlotte Country Club from Aug. 9-15. The fact that other USGA events, with the prestige they bring to the course and the economic impact they can provide to the community, could follow this event speaks volumes as to the desire of Bryan Park officials to put on a good show this time around. “We would hope we’d continue to nurture and grow this relationship, and if there are bigger and better things to come from this we would be all excited to welcome those activities,” Kolls said. Local golf fans also are in for a treat considering the field will consist of golfers who are on the cusp of becoming household names. Past winners include Wyndham Championship victor Brandt Snedeker (2003) along with PGA talents Trevor Immelman (1998), Tim Clark (1997), D.J. Trahan (2000) and Ryan Moore (2002, 2004). Last year’s winner, Brad Benjamin, won’t return to defend

his title, but runner-up Nick Taylor has starred since last year’s event at Oklahoma University’s SPORTS course. Taylor, a Steve 21-year-old Hanf from Canada, ■■■ recently wrapped up his senior season at the University of Washington as the Ben Hogan Award winner. The stroke-play medalist from last year’s event just got done competing in the PGA Tour’s Travelers Championship and is looking forward to another shot at a USGA win. “The strength of my game is driving it pretty straight, so when I play (USGA) courses with tight fairways and long rough, I can hit it straight,” Taylor said via conference call during the Publinx media day Tuesday at Bryan Park. “When (opponents) put it in the rough, that puts a lot of pressure on their game.” The tournament opens Monday the 12th with the first of two rounds of stroke play, after which the field is pared to the low 64 scores for six rounds of match play. A field of 156 golfers will be announced next week after final results from the 74 qualifying sites are tallied: A total of 3,181 contestants entered the championship, which is open to amateurs who are “bona fide public-course players” with a USGA handicap not exceeding 4.4. After the stroke play rounds, the drama of match play unfolds Wednesday through Saturday. The second and third rounds will be conducted Thursday, the quarterfinals and semis come Friday, and Saturday’s finale consists of a 36-hole epic. Spectators are admitted free to the event. “This is the top amateur golfers in the world – the very best of the best, the future of the PGA Tour,” Kolls said. “One of the signs we have that we thought would be interesting for people to look at is a ‘past champions’ chart outside on the parking lot. Most people on that sign, people would know. Some of them will be lifelong amateurs, and that’s fine. But who knows? The next big name on the PGA Tour could be playing at Bryan Park this year. “To see the level of play...” Kolls continued: “If you’re in the golfing world, if you have a passion for golf, you’re going to want to see it. These guys can flat play.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HPU hoops braces for Wake in 2011 BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Soon after leaving Wake Forest to become athletics director at High Point University in 2008, Craig Keilitz began efforts to convince his old boss Ron Wellman that the Panthers should host the Demon Deacons in men’s basketball. Teams from major conferences rarely play at small schools. But, Wellman agreed to make one trip to the Millis Center in exchange for the Panthers playing three times at the Joel Coliseum. HPU formally announced Tuesday the Deacons will visit Dec. 7, 2011. When they do so, they will be the first Atlantic Coast Conference team to come into the Panthers’ house. “There are so just so many great things about this, bringing an ACC team into our gym so our season ticket holders and students can see a quality opponent, and give our student-athletes the best experience possible,” Keilitz said. “It also helps us set the bar that we want to reach, what we are working toward.” Keilitz said he and Wellman reached agreement on the three-forone series last summer, but that the date for the Millis Center game was determined recently. “The big thing is that teams from major conferences like the ACC rarely go on the road unless it is to play another major school,” Keilitz said. “Most of the time it comes down to relationships, because you rarely get something like this done cold calling. Ron’s been like a second father to me. He’s my mentor. I think he saw what’s happening at HPU, both with the school and the team. Being local, I think also helped.” Wellman said his relationship with Keilitz played a factor in the decision. Keilitz worked under Wellman at Wake for 12 years. Wellman named other reasons for consenting to play in a arena with a seating capacity listed at 3,500 – far below the size of arenas where ACC teams typically play.

CBS TO TELEVISE DUKE-UNC RIVALRY IN PRIME TIME

---

CHAPEL HILL (AP) – The second Duke-North Carolina men’s basketball game of the upcoming season is headed to prime time. Officials with the Atlantic Coast Conference and Duke said Tuesday that the Blue Devils’ visit to Chapel Hill will be televised by CBS, marking the first time that the fierce rivalry will air in prime time on one of the over-the-air networks. The game will start at 8 p.m. on March 5, 2011. Duke won both meetings last season. “It’s a road game that’s local and can be attended by a number of our fans,” Wellman said. “But, it is a gym that has great atmosphere and vocal fans, the type of atmosphere that will help prepare us for playing on the road in the ACC. “We’ve played at other places – such as Army and Bucknell – that don’t have the size arenas that we have in the ACC. But, it is not the size of the arena. It is the atmosphere and they have great atmosphere.” The four-game agreement began with HPU’s trip to the Joel Coliseum last December in which the Panthers led most of the first half before falling 80-63. HPU will also visit Wake this coming season and during the 2012-13 season. “It’s a fantastic opportunity,” HPU coach Scott Cherry said of hosting the Deacons. “It’s not often that you can get an ACC team to come to your arena and play. To allow our fans and students to see that caliber of program on our floor is tremendous.” Prior to last season, HPU had played Wake just once – a 79-35 loss during the 1999-2000 season – the Panthers first as a Division I school. HPU has played a total of eight game against ACC schools – seven on the road and one at a neutral site. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

HIT AND RUN

---

wo years ago, Martin Prado was an unheralded journeyman infielder who barely made a blip on the big-league radar. Now, the Atlanta second baseman is a firstrate contender for National League MVP. Prado’s all-around excellence at the plate and in the field is a major reason the Braves carry legitimate hopes for winning the NL East title. The NL pennant is within reach. And it all starts with Prado, who has solidified the Braves’ leadoff spot and their infield defense.

Prado entered the week leading the National League in batting average (.334) and hits (108). He ranked second in runs with 54 and tied for third in doubles with 23. The rest of his numbers are just as impressive – seven homers, 31 RBIs, 22 walks, .477 slugging percentage and .376 on-base percentage. Defensively, Prado has committed just two errors while participating in 45 double plays. He sports a .994 fielding percentage and is my current favorite for the NL Gold Glove at second base.

I realize Prado for NL MVP talk may be a bit premature. The Senior Circuit’s roster of heavy hitters includes Albert Pujols, David Wright, Ryan Howard, Adrian Gonzalez and Corey Hart. Colorado pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez is having a season for the ages. But if Prado keeps this up, he’ll certainly merit more than a passing mention in the NL MVP conversation. And that’s something worth talking about.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson was arrested Tuesday and charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly punching a bar employee in the face nearly a month ago. Benson was booked into the Travis County jail where he later posted $5,000 bail and was released. The charge of assault with injury carries a maximum potential penalty of up to $4,000 in fines and up to a year in jail. According to the Austin police arrest affidavit, Benson was at Annie’s West bar in the Sixth Street entertainment district on May 30 when he got into an altercation with another, unknown bar patron that left him spitting blood from a cut lip. After staff intervened, witnesses told police Benson shoved a bar worker and was verbally abusive. After being asked to leave, Benson was escorted to the door. “As they took him outside, he continued to push and shove,” Senior Police Officer Veneza Aguinaga said.

Pieces appear to be in place for Wolfpack surge RALEIGH (AP) – Sidney Lowe knows that N.C. State fans are already eager to see the Wolfpack return to the court with a mix of veterans and fresh talent. The coach also knows those same fans won’t be very patient if things go wrong. “I like the fact our fans are excited,” Lowe said Tuesday during his annual summer news conference. “I’ve been wanting them to be excited and I know they’re saying, ’We’ve been wanting to be excited as well.’ I think it’s a good marriage right there. ... This is the way it’s supposed to be.” Preseason practices are four months away in what could be the decisive months of Lowe’s tenure with the program he helped lead to a national championship as a player. Fans have sat through

four seasons of a few ups and many more downs while Lowe wrestled with getting the program back to the NCAA tournament — a place it had been five straight years before Lowe’s arrival. Getting there could be the first sign that Lowe really does have some staying power in Raleigh. Falling short could leave Lowe without a job. Yet Lowe sounds like he feels more excitement than pressure when asked about the coming season. “I’m certainly excited about the possibilities,” Lowe said. “Pressure, we put on ourselves anyway. I think certainly the expectations are higher here, but we still just have to go out and approach it the same way. It’s not like we’re going to say, ’OK, we’re going to work harder now.”’ Lowe is at least well-positioned for a

Lee, Mariners stop Yanks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – Cliff Lee came into the Bronx and beat the New York Yankees again, pitching his third straight complete game to lead the Seattle Mariners to a 7-4 victory Tuesday night. Lee (7-3) beat New York twice in last year’s World Series for the Philadelphia Phillies, including Game 1 at Yankee Stadium. He also won the ballpark opener for Cleveland in April 2009. Jorge Posada’s base on balls in the second was Lee’s first since walking Nick Punto on June 2 – 144 batters and five starts ago.

INDIANS 5, BLUE JAYS 4 CLEVELAND – Fausto Carmona rebounded from his worst start of the season by pitching into the seventh inning and the Cleveland Indians beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 on Tuesday night. Carmona (7-6) gave up four runs – three earned – and six hits over 61⁄3 innings to help the Indians to their first three-game winning streak since a fourgame run June 9-12.

POLANCO LEADS WRIGHT IN FAN VOTING NEW YORK – Placido Polanco goes

into the final days of All-Star fan voting with a dwindling lead over David Wright for the starting spot at third base on the National League team. Polanco’s edge was down to about 23,000 votes in results released Tuesday. The Philadelphia Phillies star led his New York Mets counterpart by 130,000 votes last week. St. Louis first baseman Albert Pujols remains the top vote-getter in the NL. Also ahead are second baseman Chase Utley, shortstop Hanley Ramirez, catcher Yadier Molina and outfielders Ryan Braun, Andre Ethier and Atlanta rookie Jason Heyward. The Braves’ rookie is on the disabled list and said Tuesday he will not play in the All-Star Game if voted in so he can fully recover for the second half of the season. Voting continues online through Thursday night. Results will be announced Sunday. The All-Star game will be played July 13 in Anaheim, Calif.

Wyndham invites Weaver, three others ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GREENSBORO – The Wyndham Championship has given sponsor’s exemptions to four players, it was announced Tuesday. The 71st annual Wyndham Championship is set for Aug. 16-22, 2010. High Point native Drew Weaver has accepted a sponsor’s exemption into the Wyndham Championship. Weaver played the Wyndham in 2008 as an amateur shooting two rounds of two-underpar 69 but missed the cut. The former British Amateur winner is an alumnus of Virginia Tech University. Steve Elkington, who won here in 1990 and the 1995 PGA Championship, has accepted an exemption to play the Wyndham. The 2010 tournament will

be Elkington’s 19th appearance in the Piedmont Triad’s PGA event. Two-time major championship winner John Daly will use an exemption. Daly has five PGA TOUR wins including the 1991 PGA Championship and the 1995 British Open. Daly will be making his 11th Wyndham Championship appearance. The winner of the 2010 AJGA FootJoy Invitational, Tanner Kesterson, earned an exemption when he won the FootJoy earlier this month. Last year’s FootJoy champion, Justin Thomas, became the third youngest player to make the cut at a PGA TOUR event when he played in the Wyndham last year. Tickets are available at www.wyndhamchampionship.com or through the tournament office.

DiIanni, Womble advance to national championships ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

Two of the area’s best golfers will be playing in one of the nation’s top championships later this summer. On Monday, Westchester Country Day School product Jonathan DiIanni and Wesleyan Christian Academy’s Davis Womble placed second in their respective qualifying tourna-

ments for the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. DiIanni, playing at Bradford Creek Golf Course in Greenville, shot a 66-69–135 to finish one shot behind medalist Grayson Murray of Raleigh (68-66). DiIanni finished five shots ahead of the third-place finisher, who was an alternate Womble, meanwhile,

was at Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Va., where he carded a 145 to place second behind Adam Ball. The Richmond, Va., talent fired a pair of 70s. Womble had second place wrapped up by three shots. The U.S. Junior Am will take place from July 19-24 at Egypt Valley Country Club in Ada, Mich.

Barnes, Holmes take Charity Classic BARRINGTON, R.I. (AP) – Ricky Barnes had no problem being a lastminute replacement. Under normal circumstances, Barnes would have spent the early part of the week preparing for the upcoming AT&T National in Philadelphia. But when the LPGA Tour’s Paula Creamer withdrew because of a thumb injury, Barnes was asked to replace her. Barnes and J.B. Holmes combined for a string of seven consecutive birdies on

the back nine Tuesday and captured the Charity Classic with a final 36-hole score of 21-under 121. That total was two strokes shy of the tournament record set by Mark Calcavecchia and Nick Price in 2001. Barnes and Holmes finished one stroke ahead of Angela Stanford and Brett Quigley in the best-ball format at Rhode Island Country Club. Barnes, who has six top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour this season, and Holmes split the winner’s share of $300,000 of the total purse of $1,500,000.

possible make-or-break season. He has his most talented roster by far during his time at N.C. State, starting with a returning All-Atlantic Coast Conference performer in Tracy Smith. He has experienced upperclassmen in Javi Gonzalez and C.J. Williams, talented returning sophomores in Scott Wood and Richard Howell, and a recruiting class ranked fifth nationally by Scout.com. That class includes three five-star prospects led by big man C.J. Leslie, who spurned a late pursuit by Kentucky, among others. Point guard Ryan Harrow and wing guard Lorenzo Brown, who played in prep school last year due to academics, will give the Wolfpack some perimeter scoring punch and depth N.C. State hasn’t had under Lowe.

Lowe says the Wolfpack will be able to play different combinations together and be two-deep at nearly every spot. He says he expects the freshmen to contribute immediately – “I’m going to give them all they can handle,” he said – but that they will have the luxury of filling supporting roles as opposed to trying to be leaders on a group that showed promise in its late-season push that reached the ACC tournament semifinals followed by the NIT. “I know it’s not going to be a problem as far as chemistry is concerned,” Lowe said. “These (freshmen), I’ve had a chance to recruit these guys and watch these guys and get to know them when they were younger. I know their character. They’ll come in and fit right in with the guys we have.”

finals Tuesday. After 120 exhausting minutes without scoring, the Paraguayans found their touch in penalty kicks, making all five to beat Japan. Oscar Cardozo clinched the 5-3 shootout win after a 0-0 draw with a low left-footed drive past goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima. The only miss in the shootout was by Japan defender Yuichi Komano on the third try when he hit the crossbar. That made the difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We practiced penalty kicks once, so nobody could say we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepared,â&#x20AC;? coach Gerardo Martino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But our executions werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too good. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recreate the environment youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face in a real game, with 40,000 fans.â&#x20AC;? But the execution was perfect, climaxed by Cardozoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Character plays a big role,â&#x20AC;? Martino said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What can you say when a Cardozo asks to kick the fifth penalty and he does it the way he did it?â&#x20AC;? The Paraguayans are the fourth South American team into the final eight; only Chile fell short, and it lost to Brazil in the second round. When Cardozo easily beat Kawashima to end the exhausting match and nerve-racking shootout, his teammates stormed onto the field in celebration of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest World Cup win. Cardozo pulled at his jersey, goalkeeper Justo Villar jumped on him, and they were quickly swarmed on by the whole team.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; David Villa called it one of his best goals. He was talking about the timing but the effort was pretty nice, too. On a night when Portugalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense fought off attack after attack, the Spanish striker finally broke through in the 63rd minute, giving the European champs a 1-0 victory Tuesday and a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals. Villa took Xavi Hernandezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heel pass and struck a left-footed shot that was saved by Portuguese goalkeeper Eduardo. He then fired the rebound with his right foot off the underside of the crossbar and into the net â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his fourth goal of the tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sprinted to the near corner and slid on his knees to the flag, letting out a mighty yell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of my best goals because it got us through to the next round,â&#x20AC;? Villa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep scoring so we can keep going.â&#x20AC;? Spain plays Paraguay in the quarterfinals on Saturday. AP

The five-time Wimbledon champion was out of sorts, out of answers and out of the tournament in the quarterfinals, stunned 6-2, 6-3 Tuesday by the lowestranked woman left, No. 82 Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria, meaning there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an all-Williams title match at the All England Club this year. Williams double-faulted five times and totaled 29 unforced errors, 23 more than her solid-if-not-spectacular opponent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do myself any favors,â&#x20AC;? said the No. 2-seeded Williams, whose younger sister, No. 1 Serena, won Tuesday to reach the semifinals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I missed all shots today: forehand, volley, backhand.

BP offers lifeline to station owners HOUSTON (AP) – Oil giant BP PLC is floating a financial lifeline to the owners, operators and suppliers of the gas stations around America that bear its name and have been struggling because of boycotts prompted by the Gulf spill. The head of a trade group that represents distributors of BP gasoline in the U.S. told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the company is informing outlets that they will be getting cash in their pockets, reductions in credit card fees and help with more national advertising. The cash component will be based on distributors’ volume and will be higher for outlets along

Wal-Mart names new US leader BENTONVILLE, Ark. – Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Tuesday that Bill Simon is taking over as president and CEO of its U.S. operations, replacing Eduardo Castro-Wright who is shifting to lead the retailer’s Global.com and global sourcing divisions. Simon, 50, has served as chief operating officer of Walmart U.S. and previously led global business development at Chili’s Grill owner Brinker International.

Consumer confidence tumbles in June NEW YORK – Americans, worried about jobs and the sluggish economic recovery, are having a relapse in confidence, causing a widely watched index to tumble in June and raising concerns about consumer spending in critical months ahead. The Conference Board, a private research group based in New York, said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index dropped almost 10 points to 52.9, down from the revised 62.7 in May.

Oil prices plummet on demand concerns NEW YORK – Oil prices plummeted Tuesday as ebbing consumer confidence in the economic recovery set off concerns about gasoline demand for the busy summer season. Benchmark crude oil fell $2.60, or 3.3 percent, to $75.65 in midday trading on the New York Mercantile ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

the Gulf Coast than for those elsewhere in the country, said John Kleine of the BP Amoco Marketers Association. “They are going to get a check,” Kleine said. “They’re being given these dollars for use in their business.” He estimates the total package BP is offering at roughly $50 million to $70 million. Some BP-branded gas stations have reported sales declines of 10 percent to 40 percent from Florida to Illinois since the April 20 rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico. BP owns just a fraction of the more than 11,000 stations across the U.S. that sell its fuel under the BP, Amoco and ARCO

banners. Most are owned by local businessmen whose primary connection to the oil company is the logo and a contract to buy gasoline. Distributors would still be free to sue BP and seek compensation from the $20 billion compensation fund if they choose, Kleine said. BP spokesman Scott Dean did not dispute Kleine’s comments. He said the company was preparing a statement. As to the compensation fund, BP spokeswoman Debra Reed said previously that the overseer of the fund has stated that anyone is welcome to file a claim. Whether or not it is valid is up to the administrator.

WellPoint reveals security breach INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Health insurer WellPoint has notified 470,000 individual insurance customers about a security breach that may have exposed medical records, credit card numbers and other sensitive information. The Indianapolis insurer said the problem stemmed from an online program customers can use to track the progress of their application. It was fixed in March. WellPoint is the largest commercial health insurer based on membership, with nearly 34 million members. It runs Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in 14 states and Unicare plans in several others. Spokeswoman Cynthia Sanders said the insurer notified customers in most of its states. That includes about 230,000

customers of its Anthem Blue Cross subsidiary in California. The possible breach affected only individual insurance customers and not group coverage or people who buy Medicare Advantage insurance. Sanders said an outside vendor had upgraded the insurer’s application tracker last October and said all security measures were back in place after the work was finished. But a California customer found she could call up confidential information of other customers by manipulating Web addresses used in the program. Customers use a Web site and password to track their applications. WellPoint learned about the problem when the customer filed a lawsuit about it against the company in March.

Home prices rise NEW YORK (AP) – Home prices in April rose for the first time in seven months as government tax credits bolstered the housing market. But the rebound may be shortlived now that the incentives have expired. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20city home price index released Tuesday posted an 0.8 percent gain. It had fallen in each of the past six months. Eighteen of 20 cities showed price increases in April from March. Washington, San Francisco and Dallas each posted gains of 2 percent or more. Eleven cities

reversed their declines from the month before. Only Miami and New York recorded price declines. Prices in New York were the lowest since 2004. Nationally, prices have risen 3.8 percent from their April 2009 bottom. But they remain 30 percent below their July 2006 peak. The overall price gains highlight the impact of the federal tax credits for homebuyers at the start of the traditionally strong spring selling season. Buyers rushed to purchase before the tax credits expired at the end of April. The numbers are likely to drop in the next report.

Slowing foreign economies fuel plunge NEW YORK (AP) – No matter where they look, investors are seeing economic trouble. Stocks and interest rates plunged Tuesday after signs of slowing economies from China to the U.S. spooked traders who were already uneasy about a global recovery. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 268 points, or 2.7 percent, and dropped below 10,000. The benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 3.1 percent to close at its lowest level since October. Interest rates fell in the Treasury market after demand for the safety of government debt grew. The yield on the 10-year note dropped to 2.95 percent, the first time it has fallen below 3 percent since April 2009, when the markets were in the early stages of their recovery from the financial crisis. The markets began the day by following Asian and European stocks lower. Then, shortly after U.S. trading began, the market was hit with news that consumer confidence fell sharply this month because of worries about jobs and the overall economy. Industrial stocks suffered some of the steepest drops on fears that a stalled global rebound will cut demand. Aircraft maker Boeing Co. led the Dow lower with a drop of 6.3 percent. Caterpillar Inc., the maker of construction and mining equipment, lost 5.5 percent.

GM to target international markets

DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; General Motors Co. plans to introduce 70 new or upgraded vehicles in international markets by 2014 as it tries to expand business in areas it considers key to its growth. Company executives told financial analysts on Tuesday that GM is the industry leader in the combined markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China. GM is holding meetings for analysts to lay the groundwork for a public stock sale that could come later this year. President of International Operations Tim Lee said GM has been the sales leader in China past five years, with sales growing 67 percent since 2008. He said GM is on track to be the first global

automaker to sell more than 2 million vehicles in China this year. GM says overall auto sales in China will rise 20 percent this year to 16.5 million. Under questioning from analysts, Lee said he is worried that competitors are building inventory in China, and that may force discounts. But so far he said GM has not had to cut prices and has continued to grow its market share to 13.3 percent. In North America, President Mark Reuss said GM has made tremendous progress since it emerged from bankruptcy last July. The company, he said, is selling vehicles for about $3,000 more than it did a year ago, with rebates and other incentives down by $1,200.

day the couple was â&#x20AC;&#x153;happily married.â&#x20AC;? The 24-year-old actress became engaged to Green earlier this month for the second time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first marriage for both.

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are divorced. A court clerk in Austin, Texas, confirmed the divorce between the Oscarwinning actress and celebrity biker was finalized Monday. Bullock filed to end the marriage in April after reports surfaced that James had been unfaithful. Details of the settlement were sealed by the court, but Bullockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial filing cited â&#x20AC;&#x153;discord or conflict of personalitiesâ&#x20AC;? as grounds for the divorce. An attorney for Bullock did not immediately return calls.
