OF THE State budget includes money for market, bridge BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Funding for the replacement of the Interstate 85 bridge over the Yadkin River and support services for the High Point Market highlight appropriations for area projects in a tight state budget signed into law by Gov. Beverly Perdue this week. The $19 billion state budget includes $150 million for replacement of the I-85 bridge that has served motorists since shortly after the interstate highway sys-

tem was launched more than 50 years ago. The state has dedicated federal money to the project, but the budget appropriation ensures the completion of the new bridge, said Rep. Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson and House majority leader. Work on the replacement bridge is scheduled for completion in 2013. “The people of Davidson County have complained for many years about the safety of this bridge ...,” Holliman said Thursday.

The budget also includes about $2 million for transportation services and promotion of the furniture market. The market appropriations include $1.2 million for transportation services for marketgoers and $806,479 for marketing of the world’s largest home furnishings trade show, which also is the single-largest economic event in North Carolina this year. The funding for marketing and promotion of the trade show was

PATRIOTIC PARTYGOERS

THOMASVILLE – Liberty Drive Elementary Principal Benjie Brown has been cleared of an assault and battery charge that stemmed from an alleged incident between him and another Thomasville City Schools employee earlier this year. Angela O’Neill, a deputy clerk with the Randolph County Clerk of Court’s office in Asheboro, said the charge was dropped Monday after a request from the prosecuting witness. Brown, a Thomasville resident, turned himself in to the Thomasville Police Department in January after an arrest warrant had been issued against him, alleging he had assaulted Kevin Luke Starrett of High Point by striking him with a closed fist several times in the head. Starrett, who filed the complaint on Jan. 2 with a Randolph County magistrate, is a physical education teacher at Thomasville Middle School. Brown and Starrett could not be reached by The High Point Enterprise Thursday. Keith Tobin, superintendent of Thomasville City Schools, said Brown and Starrett remain employed with the school system. Tobin previously said the alleged incident happened over the holiday break in Randolph County. “There was action taken by the board,” Tobin said. “It’s been several months ago. I can’t get into the personnel issue and what happened, but there was appropriate action taken and I’m very satisfied that the right thing was done.” Tobin wants the school system to put the incident behind it. “Mr. Brown has done a great job at Liberty Drive as the leader of the school,” he said. “They have a great climate. We have seen improvement in our test scores and things are heading in the right direction.’” “People make mistakes, but we move on,” Tobin added. “We learn from them and move on. That’s what I want to do is put this behind us and continue to do what’s right for our children here in Thomasville.”

DAVIDSON COUNTY – An expansion of the existing courthouse and jail site on W. Center Street in downtown Lexington could meet the projected needs of both facilities for the next 20 years, an architect told the Davidson County Board of Commissioners Thursday. Glenn Ware of Ware Bonsall Architects inc, presented commissioners with a master plan for the existing courthouse and jail site in downtown Lexington during the board’s informational meeting. The master plan, which cost the county $57,376, determined the feasibility of accommodating the projected needs of the court, sheriff’s office and jail along with required parking on or adjacent

Ware recommended three options, but the committee decided on this one because of cheaper construction costs and quicker completion dates. Commissioners took no action on Ware’s recommendation. Sam Watford, the board’s vice chairman, said it may be fall before commissioners take a close look at jail sites. “I personally favor moving part of it away ... to a fresh piece of ground where you have room to expand 50 years,” he said. “...

Police ask for help to find missing man BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Leaders move government reform packages through legislature RALEIGH (AP) – Legislative leaders made progress Thursday moving ethics and government reform bills through the General Assembly, setting the stage for a quick compromise between the House and Senate on competing bills as the current session may adjourn by the end of next week. The House tentatively approved by 86-4 vote a wide-ranging measure that would limit state contractors to donating no more than $1,000 per year to the political campaign of someone seeking a Council of State office who would have authority to award the contract. It also requires board and commission members to disclose their detailed fundraising activities for the officials appointing them. A Senate judiciary committee also recommended its own reform bill earlier Thursday, but it scaled back some House provisions and

studied another. Both bills should be on the floor again early next week. The provisions, among about two dozen being altered or added in both bills, are designed to reduce the potential or perception of what supporters call “pay-to-play” politics, in which campaign donations are used to seek to influence government decisions and appointments by giving to candidates or elected officials. “We have no single answer to all of the problems,” said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, who is shepherding the House package, but “this is a very strong and good bill.” In both bills, people who give at least $10,000 in illegal campaign contributions in a single election would now be guilty of a felony. More state officials would be subject to ethics rules, and elected of-

ficials would have to file another financial disclosure statement once they leave office to shed light on potential conflicts of interest. More state employee personnel records also would be made available. The Senate bill got delayed last week after Republicans complained about a Democratic provision that would have expanded voluntary public financing to candidates for five additional members of the Council of State. The expansion was deleted, and the Senate bill approved Thursday received bipartisan support after at least two GOP amendments were added. The two sides likely will negotiate a compromise since legislative leaders and Gov. Beverly Perdue say it’s critical to get a package passed before the General Assembly adjourns.

HIGH POINT – High Point police once again asked for the public’s help Thursday in finding an elderly man who went missing last month. Austin Robert Robinson Jr., 63, was reported missing from the High Point Group Home at 2325 Brentwood St. on June 12, according to police. He was last seen on Putnam Street in High Point. Police said Robinson suffers from dementia and schizophrenia and has apparently not taken his medications since he went missing. “Mr. Robinson is still missing and detectives are very concerned about his whereabouts,” police said Thursday. “No foul play is suspected in this case, but his medical conditions have detectives and family members extremely concerned.” Robinson was reported missing by a rehabilitation technician at the group home, where he was last seen about 4:30 p.m. June 12, according to a police report.

He left the home on foot “but it is possible he got on a bus as he is known Robinson to travel by bus once a week,” the report stated. Police searched the area surrounding the home after he was reported missing but did not find him. Police said Thursday that Robinson has a fondness for horses and has been known in the past to visit places that have horses. Information about Robinson has been entered into a national law enforcement database – the National Crime Information Center, or NCIC – as a missing person, authorities said. Police also have issued a Silver Alert to publicize information about Robinson. Police ask anyone who may have seen Robinson to contact their nearest law enforcement agency or the High Point Police Department at 883-3224. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Lawmakers approve placing amendment on ballot RALEIGH (AP) – A proposed constitutional amendment to prohibit felons from serving as sheriffs in North Carolina is going to the voters. The House gave final unanimous approval on Thursday to the referendum after an initial vote on Wednesday. The Senate overwhelmingly approved the measure last week. A constitutional proposal doesn’t go to the governor’s desk. A majority of voters

would have to vote for the amendment Nov. 2 for it to be embossed in the constitution. Proponents of the amendment gained momentum this year after six convicted felons ran for sheriff in the May 4 county primary elections. They all lost. Amendment supporters said sheriffs need to be above reproach. Federal attorneys also may have to sign off on the amendment to ensure it meets civil rights laws.

NATO ups attacks on Taliban leaders KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – U.S. and Afghan troops seized a key Taliban figure after a four-hour gunbattle – part of a strategy that NATO officials said Thursday had eliminated more than 100 insurgent leaders in the past four months. The campaign to disrupt the Taliban’s midlevel command structure is moving into high gear just as a new Afghan government is poised to offer economic incentives to lure low-level foot soldiers off the battlefield – a twin approach to pressure

the Taliban’s top echelon into seeking peace. The campaign against the Taliban leadership – a strategy used successfully against both Sunni and Shiite insurgents in Iraq – is intensifying at a time of rising violence and growing concern in Washington and other allied capitals over the direction of the war. The 120,000member NATO-led force is awaiting the arrival of a new commander, Gen. David Petraeus, who has warned of hard fighting this summer.

Court affirmed gun rights we’ve had all along On Tuesday, I read Paul Johnson’s news story on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the McDonald case challenging a handgun ban that has been in effect in Chicago. In the third paragraph, Johnson errs. Johnson wrote, “The Supreme Court’s decision to enshrine the right to bear arms as a constitutionally protected right might lower the gun control issue as a campaign topic.” The Supreme Court did not “enshrine” the right to keep and bear arms. The Supreme Court affirmed that this right has existed from the adoption of the United States Constitution. Moreover, the right to keep and bear arms preceded the adoption

Wall Street reform will create better economy I know, and all Americans need to know, that reform of Wall Street will create a stabler economy because institutions like credit card companies and mortgage companies would have stricter guidelines to follow. These new guidelines would give consumers more protection. Financial reform would make sure that the financial decisions average Americans make for their futures would not be made with them being blindsided. We need reform now. Wall Street is

e thought the push for a state takeover of Alcoa of North Carolina’s power generating facilities and reservoirs along the Yadkin River would end last year when the N.C. House of Representatives decisively defeated a bill crucial to the effort. Apparently, we thought wrong. Those environmentalists, politicians (state and local, Democrat and Republican) and developers who still harbor thoughts of a socialistic takeover of Alcoa’s property brought to the state a familiar name this week in an apparent attempt to revive the drive – Erin Brockovich. Brockovich, whose environmental fight against a California industrial polluter was the subject of a 2000 movie, was in Raleigh and Winston-Salem Tuesday putting in a plug for the Alcoa takeover idea and also criticizing the company for environmental problems related to its closed aluminum smelting plant at Badin Lake. Brockovich may be on target with criticism of Alcoa and contending that the company should be doing more to help clean up the environmental problems at Badin. But she surely misses the mark in supporting what would amount almost to a confiscation of Alcoa’s water-powered generating properties, including High Rock Lake and dam and the hydro-electric generating plant there. Alcoa’s cleanup efforts at Badin Lake certainly are a legitimate topic for discussion during federal relicensing hearings the company is undergoing. But this talk of government takeover of private property simply should cease.

Veterans Affairs reaches out with community clinics

early two years ago, the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system established community clinics in certain areas that were long distances from VA clinics in order to reach veterans living in those areas. One outreach clinic located in the town of Franklin in Macon County is operating very successfully. The staff there serves veterans who live in the far western counties of North Carolina and northern Georgia. This is a great idea. The veterans living in that area no longer need to drive all the way to the Charles George VA Medical Center in Asheville. Just the thoughts of driving a long distance in an emergency situation has got to be very stressful. One of the three doctors working in the clinic says, “This arrangement connects the veteran more to the providers than the facility.” There are three physicians working in this clinic. One is a psychiatrist, and this is very important because veterans are a particular kind of medical population. According to the current report, veterans have a suicide rate seven times greater than the general population. Post-traumatic stress syndrome is more common now among young returning veterans, and this type of injury can lead to substance abuse. I have met so many veterans that avoid seeking help because they fear it will hurt their job prospects. I guess I am not surprised about the number of suicides among veterans; we are involved in a war that seems to have no end. When I think about my own experiences with war, all I can say is I am very thankful. There is not much I can say that is “good” about war, except thank God that we now have good medical care for our veterans. I know it is very costly to provide this care, but we owe this to all the veterans. I can see improvements every time I go to the VA. The community-based clinics are now making the VA experience much like a civilian doctor’s office. I am very impressed with the American Profile edition to our High Point Enterprise. I hope all the readers will enjoy the current edi-

tion, “O Say Can You See ... The Inspiring Story Of Our National Anthem.” Grandparents please save this issue for the grandchildren. Our July 4th celebration is just around the corner; and oh, what an opportune time to read about the birth of our VETERAN’S national anthem. The American flag flies VIEWS over Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, Stan birthplace of “The Star-Spangled Spangle Sr. Banner.” The War of 1812 and ■■■ the American flag with 15 stars and 15 stripes inspired Francis Scott Key, a Washington lawyer, to pen the poem about the flag that later became our national anthem. Every time I see our American flag flying in the breeze, I am so grateful to be an American and to have served in the U.S. Marine Corps. There will be many celebrations around our area during the next several days. I hope you will attend one of these events. As you celebrate this patriotic day, remember all the veterans that helped to make America, “The land of the free and the home of the brave.” It would be just wonderful if our present-day veterans would stop for a minute and offer a salute to the Grand Old Flag that is flying in the breeze. Show your grandchildren how proud you are to be an American and tell them about the freedom America has today because brave men and women did their part to insure our freedom. Our next veterans luncheon will be 11 a.m.-2 p.m. July 10 at Highland United Methodist Church. We look forward to seeing veteran friends.

Democrats use Kagan to sign up voters

BP spill now Gulfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Democratic Party put Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan front and center Thursday on an e-mail appeal to raise funds and sign up supporters for President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kagan for Justice,â&#x20AC;? reads a bumper stickerstyle headline on a website where supporters are asked to sign their names Kagan and give their e-mail addresses, then taken to a site where they are asked to donate money to the Democratic National Committee. Also topping the site is a picture of a smiling Kagan, who just concluded three days of hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee at which she pledged repeatedly to cast aside any political allegiances if confirmed, and decide cases solely on the basis of the Constitution and the law. At the White House, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs predicted Kagan, Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice to succeed retiring Justice John Paul Stevens, would be approved by the Judiciary panel and confirmed.

Robert Byrd makes final trip from beloved Senate WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Senate bid farewell Thursday to Robert C. Byrd, the homespun West Virginian who for half a century held sway with his thunderous oratory and fierce advocacy of his state and the Senate he loved. The body of Byrd, who died Monday at age 92, was placed in the Senate for six hours while senators, both past and present, and Capitol Hill staffers lined up to pay their final respects to the late senator and his family.

If all that vaccine expires, more than 43 percent of the supply for the U.S. public will have gone to waste. Federal officials defended the huge purchase as a necessary risk in the face of a never-before-seen virus. Many health experts had feared the new flu could be the deadly global epidemic they had long warned about.

ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; About a quarter of the swine flu vaccine produced for the U.S. public has expired â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meaning that a whopping 40 million doses worth about $260 million are being written off as trash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot, by historical standards,â&#x20AC;? said Jerry Weir, who oversees vaccine research and review for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The outdated vaccine, some of which expired Wednesday, will be incinerated. The amount, as much as four times the usual leftover seasonal flu vaccine, likely

He served longer, and cast more votes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 18,689 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; than any senator in history. He twice rose to become Senate majority leader and, because of his seniority, was the Senate president pro tempore, putting him third in line for the presidency behind the vice president and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The growing total is crucial to track, in part because London-based BP PLC is likely to be fined per gallon spilled, said Larry McKinney, director of Texas A&M University at Corpus Christiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf of Mexico research institute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important number to know because it has an impact on restoration and recovery,â&#x20AC;? McKinney said. The oil calculation is based on the higher end of the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s range of barrels leaked per day, minus the amount BP says it has collected.

Judge sets bail for 1 in Russian spy case NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A judge has granted bail to one person accused of spying for Russia and denied bail to two others after a prosecutor warned the defendants had plenty of helpers in the U.S. to help them flee. Magistrate Judge Ronald Ellis ruled Thursday after 90 minutes of arguments at a bail hearing in New York. The magistrate said Vicky Pelaez (peh-LAYEHZâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) a Spanish-language journalist who lives in Yonkers, N.Y., could be freed on $250,000 bail plus house arrest as soon as Tuesday. Ellis denied bail to Richard and Cynthia Murphy of Montclair, N.J.

Officers focus on impaired drivers BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – State and local law enforcement officers will keep a watchful eye on the highways this holiday weekend as part of an enforcement campaign targeting impaired drivers. The 2010 “Booze It & Lose It: Operation Firecracker” campaign involves checkpoints and stepped-up patrols across North Carolina through Sunday. State troopers, as well as local police officers and sheriff’s deputies, began the effort earlier this week.

It’s one of several “Booze It & Lose It” campaigns overseen around major holidays by the Governor’s Highway Safety Program during the course of the year. “Our law enforcement officers will be working hard to stop impaired drivers and ensure the safety of motorists traveling on our highways,” said David Weinstein, director of the GHSP. “Driving while impaired is never worth the risk, and everyone should celebrate responsibly.” N.C. State Highway Patrol Trooper Greg Ingram said holi-

days like the Fourth of July get special emphasis because of the combination of more people on the road and an increase in the amount of alcohol consumed, as people gather to celebrate Independence Day. “It’s not that we do anything differently; no more than we do every day,” he said. “However, we seem to, I guess, focus a little bit more on the holiday because there seems to be a whole lot more traffic.” Over last year’s Independence Day weekend, there were 120 alcohol-related crashes resulting

in six fatalities and 105 injuries statewide. Law enforcement officers charged more than 1,300 North Carolina motorists with driving while impaired during the 2009 “Booze It & Lose It: Operation Firecracker” campaign. More than 4,800 stepped-up patrols and checkpoints were conducted. “Having checkpoints - that’s one thing we do, and by having ‘Booze It & Lose It’ we are looking for and detecting alcohol,” Ingram said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Gianno’s Stone Oven Pizzeria, at 1124 Eastchester Drive, has been sold and is under new management. Dave Nicoletta has acquired Gianno’s from former operator Sammy Gianopoulos.

One eatery closes, 2 under new management BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Point’s restaurant scene has seemingly taken two steps forward and one step back in recent weeks. Gianno’s Stone Oven Pizzeria, at 1124 Eastchester Drive, and Harrison’s, at 1807 N. Main St., have been sold and are under new management. Meanwhile, Mamma Mia’s, at 1801 Westchester Drive, has closed its doors. Dave Nicoletta, who once operated six Italian restaurants in his home state of New York, has acquired Gianno’s from former operator Sammy Gianopoulos. He has lived in North Carolina for the past four years and made

a recent move from working for Aramark at Wake Forest University, where he said he started an on-campus dining location. He said he bought Gianno’s because it is a “landmark of High Point,” and he plans to continue

Mamma Mia’s, at 1801 Westchester Drive, has closed its doors. operating the restaurant as it has been for the past 10 years. The only change that will be made is that the restaurant will be open

on Sundays beginning Aug. 15. “We aren’t changing anything with the food or the menu,” Nicoletta said. “We bought this place because it is so well known in High Point, so we’re sticking to Sammy’s way. We’re going to focus on providing the same great food and great customer service. I’ve always focused on great customer service in my restaurants.” Allen Andrews also has acquired Harrison’s from former owner Greg Stephens. According to a sign posted on the doors of Mamma Mia’s, the restaurant has “ceased operations,” though its yearly business license was renewed June 14, according to the city’s business li-

cense office. Owner Sal Looz couldn’t be reached for comment Thursday and is reportedly out of town. Mark Basile, director of operations at the restaurant, told the High Point Enterprise in an email that the restaurant may reopen in the future. “Sal has sold the High Point location to a new, unnamed investor,” Basile said. “He is planning on reopening in a new location in the High Point area.” Looz also operates the Elizabeth’s Pizza on Westchester Drive and opened Mamma Mia’s Pizzeria in Wallburg earlier this year. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Candidate fails to obtain enough valid signatures BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Thomasville resident Don Swink has fallen short in his attempt to be placed on the ballot in November for the Davidson County sheriff race. Davidson County Board of Elections Director Ruth Huneycutt said Thursday that Swink did not get the 4,021 signatures needed to be placed on the ballot as an unaffiliated candidate.

Swink submitted 5,874 signatures to the Davidson County Board of Elections Swink last week. Of those signatures, only 3,487 were validated as registered voters by election officials, Huneycutt said. The rest of the signatures, according to Huneycutt, were thrown out for various reasons,

including no records, duplicates and wrong county. She said 469 signatures were verified asbeing from out of Davidson County and election officials found no record of 1,488 signatures. To be counted toward Swink’s goal, those who signed his petition must have been registered voters in Davidson County. “I was expecting it to be a lot different,” Swink said. “It’s not a total loss. I’ve got to talk to a lot of

good people. I’ve met a lot of good people out there. I appreciate the people being there for me. I’m not going to rule out doing it again.” Swink, who ran unsuccessfully for sheriff in 2006, said he was trying to get on the ballot because of his unhappiness with the current sheriff’s office administration. He said he changed his party affiliation from Democrat to unaffiliated because he

felt disenfranchised with the party. Swink said he has no plans of appealing the board’s ruling unless he finds an overwhelming amount of signatures that can be validated. “We are going to continue checking them,” he said. “... We are going to keep checking them just for my satisfaction. We may find a few that they didn’t find, but I doubt we will find 534 of them.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

DURHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The contract signed by Eric Becoats making him Durham superintendent will pay him $190,000 a year and convey numerous benefits. The former Guilford County Schools chief administrative officer earned $156,000 before taking the Durham job. Becoats is to receive written evaluations each October beginning in 2011. He and the school board will agree on annual goals to be incorporated into the evaluation process. A provision would allow Becoatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; salary to be decreased only if pay for all district teachers is cut. The contract runs through June 30, 2014. It calls for the school board

to notify Becoats two months before its expiration whether it intends to Becoats offer him an additional term of employment. (The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to do so wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entitle him to continue working.) Two sections of the contract deal with procedures for firing Becoats before June 2014. He has the right to receive written charges and to a fair hearing before the school board with 10 daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advance notice. If the board wishes to end Becoatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; employment without his consent, it is obligated to pay Becoats his salary for 18 months or for the amount remaining on his contract, whichever is less.

Rocky freshman year leaves co-ed in dumps

ear Abby: I am 18 and sad all the time. I have never had a boyfriend, and have struggled in the past with anxiety and loneliness. It has been a rollercoaster year for me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a tough first year of college, watching all of my friends enter meaningful relationships. All I can do is be ashamed of the fact that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m struggling while others are thriving. I need help, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to turn. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Complete Mess in Ohio Dear Complete Mess: Before I start offering you advice, please let me point out that the first year of college is a huge adjustment for everyone. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away from your usual support systems, adjusting to a new environment and new responsibilities. Instead of comparing yourself to your friends who are entering â&#x20AC;&#x153;meaningful relationships,â&#x20AC;? please look around at all of the students who are single like you are. If you do, you will realize they outnumber the ones who are coupled up. Because you are sad for extended periods, you should head over to the student health center and talk about it with a counselor. He or she will help you find ways to overcome your feelings of isolation, anxiety and depression â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but only if someone who is quali-

fied knows youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having trouble. And please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste one minute being ashamed.â&#x20AC;? What youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re experiencing is not uncommon.

only for the sake of your children. So go to the reunion with your boyfriend. Give your parents every opportunity you can to get to know him, because the more they are exposed to him, the greater the chances of their accepting him. P.S. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be lovely if your ex were to bring a date? Why not call him and plant the idea ...

Dear Abby: I am the mother of two young children. Three years ago I divorced my husband of eight years. My mother does not accept the divorce and still views my ex as a family member. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning a family reunion for my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80th birthday and has told me sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inviting my ex, which will be uncomfortable since I am attending the party with my boyfriend of two years. My motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unwillingness to accept my new boyfriend in my life is hurtful, and it is affecting my relationship with her. How can I sustain a relationship with her if she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept that I have moved on with my life? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Irritated in New Hampshire

Dear Abby: I am a 61year-old, recently retired male. I think I am experiencing a midlife crisis, exacerbated by my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to let her hair go natural â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meaning gray. I know you and your readers will probably think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m shallow and am trying to hold onto my young, 59-year-old â&#x20AC;&#x153;trophy wife.â&#x20AC;? We have been happily married nearly 40 years. In my eyes she represents our youth and vitality, which suddenly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feeling so youthful or vital since her roots started showing. What can I do? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Younger At Heart in Oklahoma

ADVICE Dear Abby â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Dear Irritated: You have moved on with your life. But in the eight years you were married, your mother grew attached to your former husband. I assume that you and your ex have a civil relationship, if

They’re involved in a huge number of body processes, including keeping the heart beating, facilitating nerve transmission, helping muscle contractions and maintaining the balance between acids and bases. Dear Dr. Donohue: Public speaking panics me. My job requires that I do lots of public speaking. In spite of the fact that I am called on to perform often, it doesn’t get any easier for me. In fact, I think it’s gotten worse. My sister has a similar problem. Her doctor gave her a medicine that makes her actually relish getting up and addressing a crowd. Do you know the name of the drug? – S.S. I’m pretty sure it’s Inderal (propranolol). It has many medical uses, like regulating the heartbeat, controlling blood pressure and abolishing certain tremors. It also controls the signs of stage fright. Many professional musicians have to use it before their performances. It’s a prescription drug, so your doctor has to agree to its use. Limit taking it to those occasions when you have to speak in public. It’s not habit-forming. It’s not a narcotic. It’s not a tranquilizer.

Portland police to reopen Gore investigation PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former Vice President Al Gore welcomes a Portland police decision to reopen an investigation into a massage therapistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allegations that he groped her at a hotel four years ago, his spokeswoman said. Kalee Kreider said that Gore â&#x20AC;&#x153;unequivocally and emphaticallyâ&#x20AC;? denied making unwanted sexual advances. She added that â&#x20AC;&#x153;further investigation into this matter will only benefit Mr. Gore.â&#x20AC;? Portland police did not say why it was reopening the investigation in its brief statement Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now an open investigation and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment,â&#x20AC;? police spokeswoman Mary Wheat said. The woman alleges Gore made unwanted sexual advances during a massage appointment on Oct. 24, 2006, at the downtown Hotel Lucia, where Gore was reportedly registered as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Stone.â&#x20AC;?

Blagojevich, wife spent lavishly CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rod and Patti Blagojevich were awash in more than $200,000 in consumer debt when the former Illinois governor was arrested, following a lavish, sixyear shopping spree on custom-tailored suits and other luxury clothing, an IRS agent testified Thursday. Blagojevich and his wife spent more than $400,000 on clothes, mainly for themselves and not their children, from 2002 through December 2008

when he was arrested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes they used credit cards to pay for other credit cards,â&#x20AC;? Schindler said. Prosecutors were plainly suggesting that the staggering mound of debt facing the impeached Illinois governor and his wife could explain his alleged plan to get a Cabinet post or high-paying labor union or foundation job in exchange for filling the U.S. Senate seat Barack Obama was leaving to become president.

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ow’s this for a big, fat blob of irony? During the same week that a study declared North Carolina to be the 10th-most obese state in the nation – up from the 12th-fattest a year ago – Krispy Kreme and Cheerwine have unleashed a chocolate-and-sprinklecovered doughnut infused with a Cheerwine-flavored creme that has connoisseurs of both brands, well, oozing with excitement. Better make that 10th-fattest ... and rising. Look out, Mississippi, ’cause here comes North Carolina! The two Tarheel institutions – Krispy Kreme in Winston-Salem and Cheerwine in Salisbury – joined forces to create Krispy Kreme’s newest doughnut, which became available to consumers Thursday. You’d better hurry, though, because the doughnuts are being offered this month only, and you can’t get them at Krispy Kreme’s retail stores – only at select grocery stores. Oh, and they’re going fast. “I’ve heard that a couple of stores have already sold out,” Brian Little, director of corporate communications for Krispy Kreme, said at lunchtime Thursday. Reaction to the new doughnut has been mixed, but mostly positive. “Tried them this morning,” one person wrote on Cheer-

If you or someone you know is a devoted family caregiver, you understand the stress that comes with caring for a senior loved one each day. What better way to relax than to cruise your cares away? The Home Instead Senior Care network is sponsoring a free, five-day cruise for one lucky caregiving hero. Or, if you nominate a friend or family member for this relaxing getaway, you could be eligible to win a laptop and camcorder. Just go to http://cruise. caregiverstress. com/ before the Aug. 15 deadline to learn more about the contest and to nominate yourself or someone else for the drawing, which will be conducted Aug. 16. The five-night, six-day Caregiver Cruise in the Caribbean for one caregiver and one guest is scheduled for Jan. 3-8, 2011. In addition to the cruise, valued at up to $4,200, the winning recipient and guest will receive 40 hours of free care from a Home Instead Senior Care professional caregiver for their senior loved one while they are away.

In High Point, they’re available at the Harris Teeter stores on Skeet Club Road and Eastchester Drive, and the Food Lion on N.

“Opportunity may knock only once,” a player at the club told me, “but I can’t say the same about my partner. Nothing I do seems to please him.” In today’s deal, my friend had led the king of clubs against South’s bold grand slam. South ruffed and proceeded with a dummy reversal. He led a trump to dummy’s king, ruffed a club, led a diamond to the nine and ruffed the last club. South then returned to dummy with the king of diamonds, drew trumps and ran the diamonds. He won four trumps in dummy, three club ruffs in his hand, five diamonds and the ace of spades.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Friday, July 2, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Lindsay Lohan, 24; Ashley Tisdale, 25; Larry David, 63; Richard Petty, 73 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: The competition is fierce and the need to be on top of changing times and willing to learn and grow at a tremendous rate has never been more important. You have plenty going for you, so let others see what you have to offer. Give whatever you are trying to accomplish your best shot and you will have no regrets. Your numbers are 3, 13, 20, 27, 35, 41, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): By making a long overdue decision, you can clear up the uncertainty that has plagued you for some time with regard to home, family and geographical location. A love relationship will help you make a decision. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Once you have taken care of your responsibilities you will be free to follow your own path. Talks will help clear up any misunderstanding and allow you to discuss future plans regarding your work and personal relationships. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s important not to let your love life interfere with what needs to be done. Distance yourself from any emotional setbacks until you can think rationally about your next move. Acting prematurely will not bring positive results. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Taking a bit of a risk may not be your normal way of doing things but, when it comes to work, money and hanging on to what you have, you may need to. Sometimes it takes a little more finagling to get what you want. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your unique way of approaching whatever you come up against will help you keep any opponents guessing. Speak from the heart and you will capture attention and harness the support you need to move forward. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Both professional and personal relationships can become difficult if you let things slide. Speak your mind and, if someone doesn’t like what you have to say, move on. An opportunity to network will lead to meeting someone new. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If someone is giving you a hard time, don’t be afraid to stand up for your beliefs. A love relationship may not be an emotionally sound option for you, especially if you have someone else in your life. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Follow your heart, your instincts and your desires and you will have no problem reaching your goals. Someone may try to entice you in unethical ways. Don’t fall for compliments or big talk. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have to meet whoever you are dealing with halfway or back away altogether. Have facts and figures ready to back up what you are trying to sell. Love is in the stars and has the potential to benefit you financially. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stop worrying so much about someone walking away from you. Let situations unfold naturally. If you let things go, something new will come your way that is probably bigger and better. Financial gain is apparent. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do something special for someone in whom you have a personal interest. Think big and adapt to the changes being forced on you. A career change or chance to try your hand at something new is evident. Don’t shy away. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on friends and entertainment and you will get involved in topics of interest that can lead to a business partnership as well. Dealing with children or an event that leads to self- improvement will turn out well and bring you resolution regarding an issue you have with friends, family or a lover. ★★★

DAILY QUESTION

WOULD BEAT

You hold: S K 8 7 6 3 H 7 2 D 8 6 C A K J 6. Dealer, at your left, opens one club. Your partner doubles, and the next player passes. What do you say?

“My partner said a trump lead, or even a diamond, would beat the slam, but I don’t see how he can knock me for leading a high club.” Since South didn’t bother to bid 4NT to check on aces, he’d have to be a madman to bid seven hearts without a void in clubs. It’s hard for West to foresee the dummy reversal, but he can be sure a club lead won’t beat the slam outright. West

ANSWER: You shouldn’t consider a pass for penalty. You’d need longer, stronger clubs to expect a worthwhile penalty at the level of one, and you have good offensive chances at spades. Since your partner has spade support and opening values, jump to four spades or cue-bid two clubs first. South dealer N-S vulnerable

---

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

June 29, 2010 North Carolina Department of Commerce 100 E. Six Forks Road 4313 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-4313 919-571-4965 These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by North Carolina Department of Commerce. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about July 16, 2010, North Carolina Department of Commerce in conjunction with Self Help Ventures Fund will submit a request to the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development for the release of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds under Division B, Title III of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008, as amended, to undertake the following project: Project description: 109 Greenbriar Project – which is a redevelopment of a dilapidated 20 unit apartment building to provide updated, supportive housing for the disabled, formerly homeless and low income workers earning below 50% of the Area Median Income. 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 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. 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

Playoff decides junior title Par putt proves winner on first extra hole BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – When Al Dickens’ tee shot found the trees on the left side of the fairway, Troy Beaver joked with him, “You’ve got to hit a Bubba-hook now.” When Beaver’s second shot on the first playoff hole dropped from the tree branches and well short of the green, Dickens encouraged Beaver to “knock it tight” on his chip shot. Their camaraderie Thursday on the 18th hole at High Point Country Club’s Willow Creek golf course would have made Bubba Watson proud: The PGA Tour member, sponsoring the event for the first time, told the 76 players in the Bubba Watson Junior Classic simply to have fun when playing the game and not worry about their scores. Watson also would have been proud of the putt Dickens made to win the event. The 6-footer wasn’t much longer than the pressure putt Watson made Sunday to win the Travelers Championship – also in a playoff. “I’ve played here the last two years,” said Dickens, a 17-year-old rising senior from Charlotte Country Day School.

Al Dickens of Charlotte watches sand and ball fly as he blast from a bunker beside the 18th green on the first playoff hole in the Bubba Watson Junior tournament Thursday at Willow Creek. He got up-and-down for par to defeat Troy Beaver of Salisbury. “Two great courses, good competition – I wasn’t going to miss it.” As for having the chance to mingle with Watson at this year’s event? “That made it more fun, but it’s always been a great tournament,” Dickens praised. He walked away with

the trophy and winner’s plaque after a great save. His tee shot on the par-4 18th was a 3-wood that hopped over the cart path and under a tree well left of the hole. But Dickens punched a low liner from the 150-yard mark that skirted the right side of the green and found the

middle of the sand trap. His bunker shot was textbook to set up the unorthodox par. Beaver, from Salisbury, saw his drive land in the fairway an inch from a sprinkler head. After a brief discussion over whether or not he should get relief, he

played his ball from the original spot and saw the high iron glance off tree branches. His chip shot proved too soft – “gotta hit it!” he told himself – and a par putt from across the green came up some three feet short. Dickens had a 2-overpar 73 Wednesday at Colonial Country Club and a 1-over 73 at Willow Creek to finish at 146, while Beaver went 71-75. Southwest Guilford’s Davis Hoke (75-72) tied for third overall at 147 with Jeremy Kilgore (72-75). Greg Mauldin also carded a 147 and won the boys’ 14-15 age division. The former Trinity standout, who has transferred to Westchester Country Day School, was disappointed to miss the playoff for the overall title by a single shot. “It’s all right,” he said of his age-group plaque, which he won over High Point Central’s Justin Franklin (79-74–153) and Archdale’s Tanner Gross (76-83–159). “But I had a bunch of three-putts that killed me, missed a couple of five-footers.” Mauldin’s future teammate, rising eighth-grader Thomas Walsh, took the 13-under division at 76-75–151. High Point’s Harrison Frye was second at 87-78–165. The 1418 girls championship was captured by Jamestown’s Lily Crane at 7982–161. Thomasville’s Katie Nance was second at 89-87–176. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Crashes dot Daytona practice DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — It’s hot, slick and super speedy. And there are no potholes to be found. NASCAR returned to Daytona International Speedway on Thursday for the first time since the season-opening Daytona 500 was nearly derailed by a pesky pothole. The damaged asphalt halted action twice during the biggest race of the year, and it took track workers more than two hours to repair the surface well enough to complete the race. All smoothed over now — the patch is 6 feet wide and 18 feet long — it didn’t seem to bother the drivers Thursday during a pair of practice sessions. “You can see it, but it’s really not a factor,” Greg Biffle said. That might be because drivers are too busy dealing with the other new elements they’ll be taking into Saturday night’s race. NASCAR mandated the

The change was needed because of the March switch from the wing back to the more traditional spoiler, which has more drag so the bigger plates offset the difference through increased speeds. It made for a difficult day for several drivers. David Ragan, Kyle Busch

and Kasey Kahne all needed backup cars after the first practice, while Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Joey Logano both damaged their cars in the second practice but were able to repair them. Not so for Denny Hamlin, who wrecked after light contact with teammate Busch. The accident involved at least five cars, and added Hamlin, Tony Stewart, and Red Bull Racing’s latest substitute driver, Reed Sorenson, in need of backup cars.

HIT AND RUN

---

he United States World Cup soccer team made a spirited pitch to capture the national imagination this year. I applaud Team USA for advancing past the group stage and supplying plenty of drama in finishing 2010 World Cup play with two draws, one win and last Saturday’s hard-fought 2-1 loss to Ghana in the round of 16. It was a good run. But let’s put things in perspective. American fans will not take to top-drawer

soccer for the long haul as long as the squad is unable to defeat the likes of Ghana on the sport’s biggest stage. This marks the second consecutive U.S. World Cup experience that ended with a loss to Ghana. That’s no recipe for approaching football, baseball, basketball, hockey, motorsports, golf or tennis on the American sports watching Totem pole. Most U.S. sports fans are not going to follow every – or any – kick of a Uruguay-Gha-

na World Cup matchup from here on out. Sure, soccer is a wonderful activity for kids of nearly every age. That does not translate into a growing market for professional soccer fans in the U.S. Until the U.S. men win a World Cup, or at least advance past the round of 16 on a regular basis, World Cup soccer’s prognosis for a lasting impact on the American sports scene will remain bleak.

WHO’S NEWS

---

Lakers coach Phil Jackson will return next season, putting off retirement for at least another year to chase his 12th NBA championship. Jackson made the announcement Thursday with a news release. The twotime defending champions’ coach said last week he was leaning toward retirement after another long season, but he changed his mind after getting a week to rest up at his offseason home in Montana. “Count me in,” Jackson said. “After a couple weeks of deliberation, it is time to get back to the challenge of putting together a team that can defend its title in the 2010-11 season. It’ll be the last stand for me, and I hope a grand one.” Jackson, who will turn 65 later this year, is the winningest coach in playoff history.

Lorenzen, Inman added to NASCAR Hall ballot KANSAS PETITIONS FOR SECOND RACE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; N DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new look could lead to a new date. International Speedway Corp. formally petitioned NASCAR on Thursday to give the Kansas City track a second Sprint Cup race as early as 2011. ISC spokesman Lenny Santiago said he expects an answer later this summer, before NASCAR unveils next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. Santiago declined to talk about details of the petition, which includes a potential date and likely eliminates a race at another ISC track.

Jr., is considered a lock with his three championships and 105 wins that rank second on the all-time list. From there, the decision for the selection committee will be whether to put in Waltrip, Yarborough and Allison â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all with championships and ranked three to five in wins with more than 80 each â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or opt for pioneers of the sport.

NATIONWIDEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NEW LOOK A new chapter begins for the Nationwide Series with tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 250-miler at Daytona. Kevin Harvick and other drivers hope that it eventually turns the page on the domination of Joe Gibbs Racing in general and Kyle Busch in particular. Tonight will mark the first time in competition for the Nationwide Seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new generation car. Unlike the Cup Seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cookie-cutter Car of Tomorrow, which was essentially the same for all makes except for decals and noses, the cars look more like their street counterparts. Ford and Chrysler created something

of a buzz by taking the opportunity to switch to more sporty bodies in their stables â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ford with the iconic Mustang and Chrsyler with the Dodge Challenger. General Motors and Toyota opted for the same bodies they use in the Cup Series â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Impala for Chevrolet and the Camry for Toyota. Development of the new Nationwide car, which incorporates the safety features of the Car of Tomorrow, took three years. Jamie Allison â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s racing director in North America â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Dodge CEO Ralph Gilles said a great deal of work went into aerodynamics in shaping the front of the cars to make them competitive while also retaining brand identification. Allison has said he would also consider using the Mustang in place of the Fusion in the Cup Series if NASCAR decides to allow cars that look more like those on the street. Gilles said he would consider moving the Challenger to Cup. The new Nationwide car is also to be used at Richmond, Michigan and Charlotte this year before full integration next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part about it is that 18 car (Busch) wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have those (older) cars to race any more, so hopefully we can close that competition gap on the Nationwide side up a little bit,â&#x20AC;? Harvick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to the race this weekend, so it should be fun.â&#x20AC;? Busch has won 25 Nationwide races since the start of the 2008 season driving for Gibbs.

SOUTHERN MODIFIEDS RETURN Caraway Speedway begins its biggest six-day span of the season tonight with a 150-lap NASCAR Southern Modified Tour race and a 150-lap Late Model Stock race. Late Model drivers return

Wednesday for their biggest race of the season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the fourth Rusty Harpe Memorial. James Civali, who won the most recent race in April at South Boston, is the Southern Modified points leader by 18 over Andy Seuss. Tim Brown is third, another 11 back, and 10 ahead of former champ L.W. Miller. Travis Swaim holds the Late Model points lead by 38 over Jason York. Limited Late Model, Super Mini-Truck and U-Car events are also on Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slate.

OFF WEEK AT BOWMAN GRAY While the Modifieds race at Caraway, Bowman Gray Stadium takes its usual break for the July Fourth holiday. Burt Myers and his brother Jason might prefer to be at the quarter-mile track. They swept the 25-lap doubleheader last week, the first time they have won Modified events on the same night. Jason won for the second week in a row and Burt increased his points lead to 15 over Wallburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lee Jeffreys. Other points leaders include Ryan Robertson by 14 over Kyle Edwards in Sportsman; Matt Cotner by 46 over Billy Gregg in Street Stock; and Wayne Hill and Jimmy Absher tied for first in Stadium Stock.

SPARK PLUGS Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 400-miler at Daytona will be Bobby Labonteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 600th Cup start. Labonte was named grand marshal on Thursday. Kerry Earnhardt and Michael Waltrip will participate in the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England. Earnhardt will drive the car that his father drove to victory in the 1995 Brickyard 400. Waltrip will be in a No. 15 Chevrolet similar to those in which he won the 2001 and 2003 Daytona 500s. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Four dial right number at AT&T THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Arjun Atwal learned years ago to stop comparing himself with Tiger Woods during their many practice rounds together in Florida. There was no comparison Thursday in the opening round of the AT&T National. Atwal ran off three straight birdies early in his round at Aronimink Golf Club and wound up in a four-way tie for the lead at 4-under 66 on a gorgeous day in the Philadelphia suburbs. Woods let a decent round get away from him with an awful finish and shot 73 to finish toward the bottom of the pack. Joining Atwal atop the leaderboard were Joe Ogilvie, Nick Watson and Jason Day. Woods, the winner last year at Congressional in Bethesda, Md., had a bogey, a double bogey and a missed 5-foot birdie putt on the last three holes.

LPGA SYLVANIA, Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Na Yeon Choi shot a career-best 7-under 64 to take a one-stroke lead over Canadian Alena

Choi, the South Korean player who missed her first cut in 2 1/2 years last week in the LPGA Championship, had eight birdies and a bogey at Highland Meadows and needed just 26 putts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after changing putters this week. Marisa Baena, playing even though she says she has officially retired from competitive golf, was at 66 along with Christina Kim and Switzerlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Karine Icher.

Armstrong gains motivation from Landis’ charges ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — Lance Armstrong heads into his last Tour de France intent on winning a record eighth title and motivated by former teammate Floyd Landis’ accusations that he used banned drugs during his career. The 38-year-old Armstrong said Thursday he is in a better shape than he was last year when he capped his return to competition with a third-place

finish in cycling’s showcase event following a 31⁄2-year retirement. Armstrong promised that he won’t let any allegation by Landis “deter me. In fact, in the end, it will be the opposite. It’s going to inspire me.” Landis was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping. He recently said in emails to cycling officials and sponsors that Armstrong test-

now it’s 2010. And I won a stage in 1993 as a 20-year-old. I’ve been at the front of my sport since the day I showed up. And in the process, there have been a ton of questions and a ton of scrutiny and a lot of controls and a lot of investigations. And I’m still here. I don’t see any other example in cycling or in any other sports.” Armstrong and Landis rode together for three years with

ed positive for EPO at the Tour de Suisse in 2002 and paid off former International Cycling Union boss Hein Verbruggen to keep it quiet. Armstrong won the 2001 Swiss race, but did not compete there in 2002. Landis also accused Armstrong of teaching other riders to cheat. “I don’t want to get into it. It’s not worth it,” Armstrong said. “I did my first Tour in 1993 and

Serena back in finals WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Back in the final yet again, Serena Williams will have to beat someone other than her sister for once to secure a fourth Wimbledon championship. The top-ranked American defeated 62nd-ranked Petra Kvitova 7-6 (5), 6-2 on Thursday to reach her third straight Wimbledon final and sixth overall. Standing in Williams’ way in Saturday’s final will be 21st-seeded Russian Vera Zvonareva, who rallied to beat Tsvetana Pironkova 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 to reach her first Grand Slam title match. It’s the 10th time in the last 11 years that at least one of the Williams sisters has advanced to the final. Venus and Serena have won eight titles. Serena, going for a 13th Grand Slam title, has never beaten anyone other than her older sister in the Wimbledon championship match. Serena defeated Venus in the 2002, 2003 and 2009 finals, while Venus won the all-sister showdown in 2008. “I think there will definitely have to be chang-

You always have to come with something new.” Five-time winner Venus was upset in the quarterfinals Tuesday by Pironkova.

Elbow injury sidelines Henin WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Seven-time Grand Slam champion Justine Henin says she will miss the U.S. Open after partially tearing a ligament in her right elbow during a fall at Wimbledon. Henin says Thursday on her website that the injury will keep her off the tour for about two months. She says she’ll withdraw from the American hard-

court circuit, including the U.S. Open, which she won in 2003 and 2007. The year’s last major tournament begins in New York on Aug. 30. Henin took a tumble in the first set of her fourthround loss to Kim Clijsters at Wimbledon on Monday. Henin says she won’t play the “Best of Belgium” exhibition match in Brussels against Clijsters on July 8.

Serena has a 12-3 record in Grand Slam finals and will be heavily favored to beat Zvonareva. Williams has won five of their previous six matches. “On paper it looks like I should win,” Serena said. “But Vera, she’s beaten

some good people. Her last two matches she’s been down a set, so she’s obviously a fighter. She never gives up. The biggest thing for me is to stay positive and not put too much pressure on myself.”

Dutch, Brazil could produce more offense THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For fans who want to see more scoring in soccer, today might be the time to tune in. Brazil plays the Netherlands in the World Cup quarterfinals, and both teams are capable of filling the net. The five-time champion Brazilians have Luis Fabiano, Robinho and Kaka, as dangerous a trio as any in the tournament. The Dutch can counter with Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder and Robin van Persie. It could make for some tantalizing soccer at Port Elizbaeth (10 a.m. EDT). “We have a very good

connection, especially because of the time we played together for Sao Paulo. One look is enough to know what we are going to do,” Kaka said of teaming with Luis Fabiano, who has three goals in the World Cup. “I hope to give him many more assists in the rest of the World Cup and that he ends up as the top scorer.” The respect is mutual. “We have a perfect connection,” Luis Fabiano said. “We understand each other. I just have to get in position and I know he will get the ball to me.” Robinho got his first goal of the tournament in

Babchuk returns to Hurricanes RALEIGH (AP) — Anton Babchuk is coming back to the Carolina Hurricanes. The team said Thursday that it had signed the hard-shooting defenseman to a one-year, $1.4 million contract. Then Hurricanes later

the U.S. Postal team. Landis left in 2005 to join Phonak. “I understand that media love the sensationalist stories and they love the salacious and the ones that include accusations, that include all the blood and sex and drugs,” Armstrong said in a 45-minute interview before the team’s official presentation. “They love that. But at the end of the day, I think my career speaks for itself.”

agreed to a two-year deal with forward Jonathan Matsumoto, whom they acquired in a draft-day trade. Babchuk, 26, was a key member of the Hurricanes’ blue line during their run to the Eastern Conference final in 2009,

a 3-0 victory over Chile in the round of 16. “The tendency now is to get better,” Robinho said. “After that first goal, it usually gets easier to score more.” Brazil might need lots of offense because the Dutch are dangerous. Robben returned to the lineup in the final group game after a hamstring injury, then started — and starred — against Slovakia, scoring the first goal in a 2-1 win. Friday’s other quarterfinal has two relative surprises, Uruguay against Ghana (2:30 p.m. at Johannesburg). Uruguay’s success has been emblematic of South

America’s dominance in the tournament. All five of the continent’s teams advanced, and four remain — Argentina plays Germany and Paraguay plays Spain on Saturday. Uruguay’s defense has been almost impenetrable, allowing only one goal, to South Korea in the second round. The last team to qualify for the tournament — it had to beat Costa Rica in a playoff — Uruguay has a dangerous scoring duo in Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan to go with its stingy defense. The players are giving full credit for their best showing since making the 1970 semifinals to coach Oscar Tabarez.

THE BIG 3 LEBRON JAMES: Cleveland’s two-time MVP spent about five hours meeting with the New Jersey Nets and the New York Knicks. Meetings are set with the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. “Told our story and we’ll see what happens,” outgoing Nets president Rod Thorn said. DWYANE WADE: Miami’s star went to the United Center for about a two-hour meeting with the Chicago Bulls, the franchise he grew up watching in his hometown, before sitting down with Nets officials later in the day. CHRIS BOSH: With even the Raptors expecting he’s played his last game in a Toronto uniform, Bosh flew from Dallas to Chicago and sat down with Heat president Pat Riley and other team officials in the mid-afternoon. Bosh, a noted Twitter user, said he was impressed with the “passion” Riley has for winning. NEWS OF THE DAY MAX FOR JOE?: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Atlanta was prepared to offer a maximum-value contract to All-Star guard Joe Johnson, potentially worth around $120 million. Johnson also met with New York and Miami after free agency opened Thursday. RUDY GETS RICH: Rudy Gay of the Memphis Grizzlies went to Minnesota and got a contract ... with the Grizzlies. Gay had a series of visits planned to clubs over the next several days, but agreed to terms on a five-year deal that will pay him more than $80 million to stay in Memphis. “Thanks to everyone for the love! Good luck to the rest of the boys in free agency! Let’s make history!” Gay posted on Twitter. DARKO CASHES IN: Gay’s gain was, well, Darko Milicic’s gain. Instead of spending the day wooing Gay, the Minnesota Timberwolves turned their attention to Milicic, giving him a four-year deal worth at least $16 million. GOOD-EN NEWS: Drew Gooden wasn’t a free agent for long, agreeing Thursday morning on a five-year, $32 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Teams contact Felton ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Unrestricted free agent Raymond Felton has been contacted by seven teams as all signs point to him leaving Charlotte. The next step may be if the Bobcats can get compensation for their starting point guard through a sign-and-trade deal. “We would consider a sign-and-trade with the Bobcats if it would help them and Raymond as well,” agent Tony Dutt said Thursday. “I was excited by the high level of teams that contacted us.” Dutt wouldn’t name the seven teams, but the Bobcats weren’t among them as they appear ready to make a change in the backcourt. The Bobcats have made no push to re-sign Felton in part because of salary-cap issues. The team’s payroll close to the luxury tax, a figure owner Michael Jordan has said

the team won’t exceed. When the Bobcats gave Tyrus Thomas a one-year, $6.2 million qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent and Tyson Chandler didn’t opt out of the final year of his deal, it left Charlotte only about $2 million shy of the projected luxury tax figure and may have marked the end of Felton’s time in Charlotte. The Bobcats would like to get compensation for Felton, though, ideally a trade that includes a point guard. D.J. Augustin is the only other point guard on the roster. Augustin showed up for the Bobcats’ summer camp workout here on Thursday, but shied away from questions about Felton’s possible departure. “Right now I’m just working hard. I’m not even thinking about that. I’m not even looking at that,” Augustin said.

New jobless claims rise again WASHINGTON (AP) — Initial claims for unemployment benefits rose last week for the second time in three weeks. At the same time, more than a million people have lost benefits and more could be cut off now that Congress has failed to extend federal jobless aid. New claims for benefits jumped by 13,000 to a seasonally adjusted 472,000, the Labor Department said Thursday The four-week average, which smooths fluctuations, rose to 466,500, its highest level since March. Claims have remained stuck above 450,000 since the beginning of the year. That has heightened concerns among economists that jobs remain scarce even as the economy has

GM June sales drop 13 percent from May DETROIT (AP) — Sales of General Motors Co. cars and trucks fell nearly 13 percent from May to June, a sign that this year’s slow recovery in auto sales may be stalling. Consumers are delaying big-ticket purchases because they’re worried about their jobs in an environment of high unemployment. Analysts predict overall sales for the industry will drop 10 percent or more from May.

Greeks hit by new sales tax hike ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Prices of consumer goods and services have risen overnight in Greece, as a new sales tax hike takes effect in an effort to boost government finances. The center-left government imposed the increase in Value Added Tax, or VAT, from 21 to 23 percent. The increase took effect Thursday, prompting an immediate rise in gas prices and highway tolls.

Construction spending dips after previous gains WASHINGTON (AP) — Construction spending declined in May as residential building fell after a popular homebuyers’ tax credit expired. The report comes after government data released last month showed sales of new and previously-owned homes fell sharply in May. The federal government’s tax credit for homebuyers expired April 30.

DILBERT

begun to recover from the worst recession since the 1930s. “We find the level and direction in jobless claims somewhat troubling and the increase is likely to feed double-dip fears,” said John Ryding, an economist at RDQ Economics in a note to clients. The economy received more bad news on Thursday when two reports showed the housing industry is struggling now that government tax credits for homebuyers have expired. Still, the biggest problem for the recovery remains the number of people who are unemployed. Adding to that is the growing number of people who stand to lose government support while they search for work.

More than 1.3 million laid-off workers won’t get their unemployment benefits reinstated before lawmakers go on a weeklong vacation for Independence Day. The numbers could reach 3.3 million by the end of this month if they don’t pass the extension, the Labor Department said. For the third time in as many weeks, Senate Republicans blocked a bill Wednesday night that would have continued unemployment checks to people who have been laid off for long stretches. The House was to vote on a similar measure Thursday, though the Senate’s action renders the vote a futile gesture as Congress prepares to depart Washington for its holiday recess.

Mortgage rates hit another low WASHINGTON (AP) — Mortgage rates have sunk to the lowest level in more than five decades, but consumers aren’t rushing to refinance their loans or buy homes. Mortgage company Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate for 30-year fixed loans sank to 4.58 percent this week. That’s down from the previous record of 4.69 percent set last week and the lowest since the mortgage company began keeping records in 1971. The last time they were cheaper was the 1950s, when most long-term home loans lasted just 20 or 25 years. Rates have fallen over the past two months. Investors wary of the Euro-

pean debt crisis and the stock market have shifted money into the safety of Treasury bonds, driving down yields. Mortgage rates tend to track the yields on long-term Treasurys. On Wednesday, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dropped to 2.95 percent. That was the first time it has fallen below 3 percent since April 2009, when the markets were beginning to recover from the financial crisis. But tighter lending standards and declining home equity have made it difficult for many borrowers to refinance. Many who do qualify have already done so over the past 18 months.

Manufacturing slows, but still shows growth NEW YORK (AP) — An industry trade group’s manufacturing index slipped in June, but was still at a level that suggests growth in the industrial sector. The manufacturing sector has been one of the U.S. economy’s bright spots for nearly a year as companies restock inventories and replace old equipment. As the initial burst of activity for companies coming out of a deep decline during the recession drops off, economic growth will slow, analysts say — especially if consumer spending remains weak. The Institute for Supply Management said

Thursday its index fell to 56.2 last month from 59.7 in May. That was a steeper drop than economists expected. They were looking for a reading 59 for last month, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters. A reading above 50 indicates expansion. “The problem in the current recovery is that it has largely been concentrated in the manufacturing sector and if growth in the sector slows, and it is, then there is no sector ready to take the growth baton,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist of Miller Tabak.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks began the third quarter with another loss after reports on jobs, housing and manufacturing raised investors’ economic worries. The Dow Jones industrial average fell almost 42 points Thursday for its sixth straight loss, although it ended well off its lows ahead of the government’s June jobs report. The report is critical because a rebound in jobs is needed for the economy to recover. The numbers are due before the start of trading Friday. Anthony Chan, chief economist at J.P. Morgan Private Wealth Management in New York, said expectations are now so low that the market could get a pop from the report. “So many people are so set up for such a negative number that even if the number shows any signs of life there may be some sort of a relief rally,” Chan said. The latest economic reports followed a bad second quarter for investors and added to the importance of Friday’s snapshot of the labor market. The Dow fell 41.49, or 0.4 percent, to 9,732.53. It was the lowest close since October 2009. It was down as much as 152 points in late morning trading. The Dow hasn’t dropped six straight days since mid-January 2009.
