The new $100 million, 1,000bed Guilford County Jail annex under construction in downtown Greensboro is scheduled to open in 2012.
Several Triad jails are too full BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
TRIAD – Half of the county jails in the state are overcrowded, according to a 2009 survey released earlier this year. Among Triad counties, the jails in Randolph, Rockingham and Alamance often exceed 100 percent of capacity, according to the N.C. Association of County Commissioners survey. A $100 million Guilford County jail annex is under construction in Greensboro to relieve jail overcrowding that often exceeds 100 percent of rated capacity. NCACC researchers surveyed county jail officials to collect information to allow local and state leaders to evaluate current conditions and plan for future needs. Among other jails, the Forsyth County facility is often between 80 and 100 percent full, and the Davidson County Jail is below 80 percent capacity. Officials in fifty of 100 counties reported that their jailhouses operated at more than 100 percent capacity on average during the 2009 calendar year. All 100 counties submitted information for the survey. During the 2009 calendar year, North Carolina’s total county jail inmate population increased by 1,541 inmates, or 7.75 percent to 19,880 inmates. If that growth rate is projected forward to 2014, the combined county jail population will surpass 25,000 inmates. The rated capacity for all county jails is less than

Carol Peace restocks fireworks at N. Main Street stand operated by Full Armour Christian Center.
Fireworks stands hope for booming business BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Sales in the fireworks tents at Walmarts on North and South Main Street haven’t exactly skyrocketed yet as customers have trickled through since Monday. But, with Independence Day falling on a Sunday, vendors say they’re hoping for brighter sales to explode throughout the weekend. “It started out slow, and now sales are picking up,” said Lisa Ingram, who worked the tent on S. Main Street for Full Armour Christian Center on Friday. “The fact that the Fourth of July is on a Sunday this year should help with that a little bit.” The church holds the fireworks sale at both Walmarts each year as a fundraiser. Workers at the tents say they look for a Sunday rush to improve sales, though they already may have improved from last year, said Randy Ingram, another worker at the S. Main Street location.
“Last year was rough (in terms of sales),” he said. “Its better this year, but it’s hard to tell so far.” The symbol of patriotism has been deemed “recession-proof” by the American Pyrotechnics Association. The use of fireworks has increased from 152.2 million people
Fireworks that leave the ground are illegal to set off in the state. using the item in 2000 to more than 213.2 million people lighting up the sky in 2008, according to the APA. Items like sparklers and Pop-Its are big hits, but value packs ranging from $19.99 to $100 are also doing well. “Some people just come to get sparklers while others spend $200,” said Sheila Ingram, who worked at the N. Main Street tent. “It’s a variety.” The National Retail Federation expects the holiday to be similar to
last year in terms of cookouts and town celebrations, with 61.9 percent of Americans holding or attending a cookout, just down from 62.6 percent last year. Grilling items such as hamburger buns and condiments are the biggest sellers f or some grocery and retail stores, area store managers said. But with the fun of fireworks and grilling also comes the responsibility of ensuring safety. The APA encourages families to store fireworks in a cool, dry place before using them, following the instructions on the label and making sure there is a responsible, sober adult present when handling them. Also, be sure to stick to North Carolina guidelines. Fireworks that leave the ground are illegal to set off in the state, even if they were purchased in another state. This includes items such as Roman candles and bottle rockets. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

TRIAD – Interest by candidates in this year’s High Point and Archdale municipal elections started at a fever pitch Friday, with 15 candidates filing in the two cities. Two incumbents and nine challengers chose to run in High Point’s local elections during the first day of filing, while four incumbents filed in Archdale. Voters in the two cities will choose their mayors and council members in the Nov. 2 general election. Challenger Dwayne Hemingway-El filed for High Point mayor to challenge Mayor Becky Smothers. Smothers didn’t file Friday, but told The High Point Enterprise last month that she intends to seek another term this year. The filing period continues through noon July 16.

Billboard editing The phrase “under God” was spray-painted by vandals onto an billboard on Billy Graham Parkway in Charlotte. The sign, put up a week ago, was controversial both for its message and for its location on a road named for Billy Graham, the Charlotte-born evangelist. The sign features an American flag background and quoted the original phrase from the Pledge of Allegiance, “One Nation Indivisible”, before “under God” was inserted after “one nation” in 1954. A state coalition of atheist, agnostic and freethinker groups put up the same billboard in five other cities in North Carolina.
RCC gets warning from college group ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
RANDOLPH COUNTY – Randolph Community College has been placed on warning status for the next 12 months by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, according to a press release from the college. The warning status is the outcome from a reaffirmation visit by SACS in September. RCC President Bob Shackleford made the announcement Thursday in the Learning Resources
Center auditorium on the Asheboro campus. Shackleford said he was “quite shocked” when he got a call from SACS Vice President Gerald Lord regarding the outcome of the visit. “I believe SACS badly missed the call,” he said. SACS recommended the college hire more full-time faculty and reduce teaching loads to be in compliance. RCC responded by reducing teaching loads for 82 percent of the faculty in
the spring 2010 semester; hiring nine additional full-time faculty members; eliminating overloads in all but four critical situations where they were unavoidable; clarifying the teaching load policy to make it consistent with the state norm; and clarifying the college’s overload policy, eliminating overloads in all but the most critical situation. Shackleford said some response options he rejected were to reduce faculty teaching hours by closing the doors to
new students and unemployed citizens in a time of deep recession and high unemployment; reduce faculty salaries by one-third and use the money saved to hire more faculty; reduce faculty teaching loads to 15 hours, prorate their salaries down accordingly, and use the money saved to hire more faculty.” “We will present (SACS) with overwhelming, irrefutable evidence next spring to support our full reaffirmation of accreditation,” Shackleford said.
Winston-Salem says its incentives package for Caterpillar would be $13.3 million MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
WINSTON-SALEM – Winston-Salem said Friday it would pledge $13.3 million in incentives to Caterpillar Inc. if the company meets several performance criteria. Last Friday, Caterpillar said Winston-Salem is competing with Montgomery, Ala., and Spartanburg, S.C., for a “significant component manufacturing facility” it plans to open in the Southeast. Caterpillar
said it would likely make a selection in August. Dave Plyler, the chairman of the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, said the plant would make motorized parts or an entire motorized system for large heavy-equipment trucks. Caterpillar would create at least 392 full-time or full-time equivalent jobs and spend $426 million on a manufacturing plant, according to the city and county. In return, the city is of-
million toward the land purchase. In an interesting twist, the city and county are using incentive money that Dell repaid – because the computer maker is closing before meeting incentives goals – to help lure Caterpillar. The city and county say with Caterpillar, they will require a contract clause similar to the one they had with Dell, meaning that Caterpillar would have to repay all of its incentives if it ceases operation within five years of starting.

Pet rooster falls foul of legal system PETOSKEY, Mich. (AP) – Beaker the rooster can’t beat the man. The northern Michigan fowl whose address has been the focus of at least two court challenges is passing on the chance to crow before the Michigan Court of Appeals. Andy and Sharon Peters, Beaker’s owners,
have instead opted to send the animal to the Second Chance Ranch and Rescue in Petoskey. Authorities in September said the couple violated a county ordinance by having a farm animal on residential property. The Peters unsuccessfully fought the decision in Emmet

Wall Street reform ensures that small businesses, community banks and American families get clear and concise information they need to make good decisions so that they do not get preyed upon by misleading unconscionable practices by big banks and lenders.

Good customer service will result in sales I could not agree more with Ashley Whitt’s thoughts regarding customer service (Your View,
June 30, “Poor customer service turns potential business away”). I know a number of unemployed individuals who could do a better job than most of those currently employed. My recent experience involved calling a local tire store for pricing on a set of tires. After the fifth ring an associate answered the phone, and I told him the reason for my call. He said he was currently helping a customer and then put me on hold. After waiting 30 minutes, I hung up and will not be doing any business with this store. I understand how the customer was taking longer than anticipated, but this person’s action lost his store a sale. Recently, I also experienced the other end of the spectrum where I waited in a long line as one sales associate was checking customers out and the other associate was on the phone helping a calling customer. Even with my patience, I got very frustrated. My advice to these customer service representatives is to take the phone call and explain that you are currently helping in store customers and ask if you could
take their name and number and you will call them back as soon as you are able. The customer may say that they will call back later when the store is not so busy. In any event, it would lessen the possibility of lost business. This is just a thought from someone who has many years of customer service experience. CHRIS CRAVER Thomasville

The Herald-Sun of Durham, June 23 Are North Carolina’s Internet sweepstakes parlors lipstick on a gambling pig or a cash cow that’s going to waste? On June 21, state senators decided on a 47to-1 vote that calling casino-style video games at Internet parlors a “sweepstakes” is nothing but a semantics game – slapping Revlon on that pig and calling it Miss North Carolina. The decision came with a familiar paternalism that echoed the 2006 decision to ban stand-alone video-poker machines, a law that seemed ridiculous on the heels of the 2005 decision to start a state education lottery. If the state doesn’t want competition – if legislators feel that Internet sweepstakes and video poker are the rough equivalent of a three-card Monte dealer setting up shop at The Sands – then the solution is simple: Tax gambling. The video gaming operators are all for it, citing a potential $500 million in tax revenue that could be milked from their machines if the state would just get on board. No, the Senate said. Gambling is addictive, a scourge on poor communities. The pursed-lipped moralism is unbecoming to a state with a lottery, and it has the hypocritical tone of a slumlord who bemoans the indignities of poverty. We tax, but do not ban, alcohol and cigarettes in North Carolina – and we tax them at astonishingly low rates compared to other states. Is gambling money so much dirtier? And couldn’t it be washed clean like the lottery money if it were put toward a public good, like the schools? We get no such assurances from liquor and tobacco revenues. We have reservations about whether North Carolina ought to be in the gambling business. Internet sweepstakes parlors do seem to have a disproportionate affect on poor neighborhoods, although gambling addiction is hardly limited to the impoverished. What we oppose is the hypocrisy, the paternalistic posturing and the arbitrary distinctions between good bets and bad. The Senate’s stance that it must protect the state’s poor families from the evils of gaming evokes one more barnyard metaphor: That farmer who locks the barn while his horse gallops away.

Tea Party activists aren’t historical parallels
T
he American Revolution was a political upheaval like no other. It was based more on ideas than other revolutions. Its soldiers were also thinkers who imagined a vital system of government. It was more philosophical than economic. The common person was not miserable or starving. Poor masses weren’t the issue like in the French Revolution. Impoverished peasants weren’t the event’s impetus like in the Russian Revolution. The American Revolution sprung from a love of liberty and a desire to break British colonial fetters. It was a war for independence from an occupying power. “Occupying” is the key word here. Enemies were others. The Tea Party activists’ political use of the revolution actually amounts to appropriation rather than a historic parallel; they take bits and pieces of history for their own aims. They use what they want and disregard the rest. What makes the contemporary Tea Partier identify with first revolutionaries? Tea Partiers are angry with the government. Tea Party activists are people with different notions about how to govern: regulation is unpopular. They want smaller government and to follow the Constitution. They like guns and carry the images and objects to public gatherings. They keep their electoral targets in cross hairs. They speak of “Second Amendment remedies” in select interviews. They take the rhetoric of “revolution” and apply it to their causes and campaigns. It’s gone on too long. Now, President Obama is not King George III. This is the United States of America and not Britain. We don’t ride horses for transportation or go to the blacksmith. The Founding Fathers never imagined a world like ours, with the media and Internet. They created the Constitution for all Americans to follow. It is not to be quickly “recreated” with the help of discontents or people mad about the election of
a first black president. To call for rebellion now is no patriotic sentiment; it is quite the contrary. Tea Party players are radical when they protest with the Revolutionary War as a backdrop and guideline. The Founding Fathers would OPINION be dismayed if they knew that their sacrifice was being used Kristine to undermine a duly elected Kaiser government. Some people ■■■ don’t recognize the powers of the executive branch; they do not give legitimacy to Barack Obama. The Founding Fathers wanted government to work for people. They wanted “to promote the general welfare.” They hoped that things would run peacefully and envisioned “domestic tranquility.” They would not approve of the Tea Partiers’ antics at a time when there are so many problems facing the land. They had to be war-weary and yearning for constructive discussions and policies. More so, American history belongs to every citizen. It must be free from partisan, specific groups’ hijackings. Important historical events should not be taken over and used as tools for narrow political advancement. As the nation moves closer to major elections, Tea Party emotion is bound to elevate and become more passionate. Guns and “revolution” rhetoric are likely to move to the front of new protests. Sadly, we can only stand by and be disheartened with attempts to use a significant part of our history to unsettle the country. When Tea Partiers appropriate our history, they carelessly borrow our best legacies and what can proudly be passed down to generations. KRISTINE KAISER lives in Kernersville.

Church and state both face perilous times W
e often hear discussions about the separation of church and state. There always seems to be a missing component in most of that kind of talk. Both are dependent on each other. Without the church, the state will sink into moral decay and, once it becomes rotten to the core, it will be utterly destroyed. The state must provide the environment in which the church can enjoy the freedom to complete its mission. The church is destined to be the world’s salt and light. It exists to offer the world, as secular and evil as it may become, the necessary preservatives for its existence and moral strength. The church with its light of truth and freedom enables men to know and experience life at its best. The church can endure without the state, but it can flourish in a cooperative state that provides religious freedom. The state can endure for a little while without the church and then it will drown in its own slimy and evil regurgitation of ungodliness.
We live in a day when both state and church have bitter enemies who daily plot the destruction of both. If one goes down, the other will soon follow. Our nation now walks on shaky, tremSHARING bling ground that threatens to give way beneath THE SPIRIT our feet. The bedrock of faith upon which the Bill United States was built is Ellis being chiseled away on a daily basis. We have enemies within and enemies without. They all seek our destruction. If they can tear away any part of our freedom, they will do so. They are relentless and ruthless. Just two weeks ago, I heard a welleducated man say, “Every member of the United States Congress, the Supreme Court and the president and vice president should be required to spend one week at colonial Williamsburg, Va., and listen to the leaders
of our nation in its early days.� I am convinced that most of these people, few if any exceptions, from the president on down to the last elected representative, actually know very little about how and why the United States came into existence. If they knew and cared, they would conduct the daily affairs of government in a much different manner. Have you ever given any thought to what Jesus Christ, by far history’s greatest personality and wisest person, had to say about the government of His day? What was His attitude toward His own country? W. Beatty Jennings, who basically wrote the following outline, said, “Jesus Christ was a model citizen.� Jesus loved His country, “His own country� (Mt. 13:54, 57). He kept its laws, refusing to be made a king or start a political revolution (Jn. 6:15; and at his Triumphal Entry, Mk. 11:1-11). He recognized the right of taxation (Mk. 12:17), and paid taxes
(the temple tax, Mt. 17:24-27). He was loyal to national institutions like the temple and synagogue. Jesus recognized first claim of His country (Mt. 10:6; Lu. 24:47). He warned it of its perils (Mt. 23:3739). He rebuked its officials (Mt. 23:1-36). Jesus wept over its sins and impending doom (Lu. 19:41-44). Our nation could be changed quickly if every leader elected to serve in our nation’s capitol and all our state capitols would read and obey these words of Jesus about citizenship. As true as the rising and setting of the sun are these words of judgment upon our nation. “The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God� (Psalm 9:17). The promise of blessing is just as reliable. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord� (Psalm 33:12). The choice is ours to make. BILL ELLIS, P. O. Box 345, Scott Depot, WV 25560 | (304) 757-6089
Behind the name: United Methodist Church
T
1939, named the Methodist Church. Second Part. The Evangelical Association was formed in 1803 when Jacob Albright was ordained a minister. This group was Methodist in nature, but had a uniquely Germany influence; this led to a separate organization from the English-based Methodist organization STUDYING in existence. This denomination split THE CHURCH in 1894 to form the Evangelical Association and the United Evangelical Church. They reunited in 1922 to form Mark the Evangelical Church. Nickens Third Part. The Church of the United ■■■Brethren in Christ began in 1767 with a revival meeting in Lancaster, PA in Isaac Long’s barn. Martin Boehm, a Mennonite preacher, told of how he became a minister. William Otterbein, a German Reformed minister, was so moved that he went to Boehm, embraced him, and said, “We are brothers.� A new organization was formed which united these two ministers and their congregations; it soon spread to other states. In 1800 the new denomination had its first yearly conference, and so technically dates from this meeting. In 1889 they split, but both sides kept the name (one group was larger and one group was smaller). Fourth Part. In 1946, the larger of the two groups of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ decided
he largest Christian denomination in America is the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC)(16 million members). And the second largest Christian denomination is the United Methodist Church (UMC)(10 million members). The SBC originated in the South, but what about the UMC? And what about the “United� part? Therein lies a story with five parts. First Part. John andCharles Wesley, the founders of Methodism, grew up in England. Methodism spread to the American colonies in the mid-1700s via English immigration. American Methodism as an organization dates from the Christmas Conference of 1784. This organization, the Methodist Episcopal Church, would remain as one until 1844. (“Episcopal� means a church uses bishops.)(Several smaller groups of Methodists separated from the main body prior to 1844, but these groups had relatively few members.) In 1844, the northern and southern Methodists decided to split. The northern Methodists kept the name MEC and the southern Methodists adopted the name MEC (South). They would stay separate until 1939. In that year the MEC and the MEC (South) reunited. The “Episcopal� part was dropped; plus one of the small groups that had separated (in 1830), the Methodist Protestant Church, rejoined. So, these three Methodist groups joined to form a new organization in

to merge with the Evangelical Church. They formed the Evangelical United Brethren Church. (We’re almost there!) Fifth Part. In 1968, the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Methodist Church (formed in 1939) decided to merge and formed, ta-duh, the United Methodist Church. Sixth Part. This is for extra credit. The smaller of the two groups of the Church of the United Brethren still exists as a denomination today. When the organization split in 1889, the leader of the smaller group (who did not merge with the Evangelical Church) was a guy named Bishop Wright. He had two sons who he named Orville and Wilber Wright (do they sound familiar?).

Battle of the bulge Agency to use grant to fight childhood obesity BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – Stinging from the recent news that the state ranks 11th in the number of obese children, health officials will use grants to encourage teens to exercise more. Guilford County has received a two-year Eat Smart, Move More N.C. Community Grant to fund local physical activity projects targeting youth ages 9 to 14. A Robert Wood Johnson Foundation survey recently
reported that 18.6 percent of North Carolina children are obese. The state ranks 14th in the nation in overweight and obese adolescents. Rankin Elementary and Guilford Prep Academy will participate in the Increase Physical Activity and Nutrition in Schools evaluation and intervention project. “We are pleased to be selected to implement a project designed to promote healthy behaviors among our youth,” said Guilford County Health Director Merle Green.

HEALTHY LIVING
–
Obesity: The percentage of children and adults who are overweight or obese rises each year and despite advances in medicine, the current generation of children may be the first to live shorter lives than their parents. Information: www.EatSmartMoveMoreNC.com; Contact Candy West with the Department of Public Health at 641-7777 for more information on Guilford County’s project.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded funding in the fall of 2009 to the N.C. Division of Public Health’s Physical Activity and Nutrition Branch to work with East Carolina University’s Department of Public Health
in evaluating the program. Guilford County will receive funding for data collection in 20102012 and for program implementation in 2011-12. “Making our schools and after-school programs, our neighborhoods
and our places of worship supportive of healthy eating and active lifestyles is important so that kids learn these habits early and carry them into adulthood,” said State Health Director Dr. Jeff Engel. The state’s obesity prevention plan emphasizes healthy strategies, including adding walking paths in neighborhoods or around schools, or changing what foods a school can serve both at lunch and for after-school snacks. Eat Smart, Move More North Carolina is a statewide movement led by a coalition of more than 60 organizations.

Willard Moore poses in his machine shop with the first engine that he ever restored – a Waterloo Boy made in 1912. After 40 years of working on equipment for the Threshers’ Reunion, the 93-year-old has decided to hang up his tool belt.
FarmPark fixture turns over controls ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
DENTON – At the 40th annual Southeast Old Threshers’ Reunion, 93-year-old Willard Moore announced his retirement Wednesday from the Denton FarmPark after working at the reunion since its inception. Plant Services Magazine, based in Chicago, and SkillTV.net recognized Moore with their first national Lifetime Achievement Award during a presentation on Friday during the third day of the reunion, which ends Sunday. Moore claims his parents, Mother Nature and Father Time, urged him to turn the controls over to someone else. For the past 40 years, Moore has cleaned, greased and kept equipment operating at the Denton FarmPark. For 33 of those years, he operated the 22-ton 1916 Erie Steam Shovel at the Threshers Reunion. During the past 39 years, Moore has held a fundraiser, Yesteryear in Motion, at his home for the Jamestown Lions Club. The event has been a smaller version of the Threshers’ Reunion and has focused on all kinds of engines.
Nearly 40 years ago, his passion for machinery led him to become the chaplain of the Triad chapter of the National Association of Facilities Engineers. He still is active in the group. But it’s his command of the bucket which has made him one of the most popular people at the Threshers’ Reunion. Throughout the years, hundreds of thousands of festivalgoers have watched him navigate the large scoop, digging up red clay – and then dumping it for use later. The sheer size of the shovel – and the volume of dirt it holds – has made it one of the most photographed objects at the park. He has been a magnet for children’s curiosity to see how he’s been able to manipulate that big machine. “It’s physically challenging running that machine,” he said. “You have one lever for forward, another to swing, one for backward, but you have to know exactly when to put your foot on the brake. If not, you lose the cable and drop the bucket. It’s not a simple job. You have to think and act accordingly.”
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
A plant maintenance supervisor and machinist for Carolina Springs, which later became Leggett and Platt, Moore stumbled across the old shovel in Harrisonburg, Va., in the mid 1970s. It caught his eye because he had played with a small steam shovel as a young boy. That unit is on display in the Radio Museum at the FarmPark. The big one had been used to dig rock in a quarry. Later on, owners turned it into an outdoor advertising sign. Moore was troubled by that and thought it needed to be put to better use. He told Brown Loflin, founder of the Threshers’ Reunion, “If you buy and restore it, I’ll operate it.” That’s what happened. “Willard has been a great asset to this show,” Loflin said. “He put life into our old steam shovel, making it a very popular exhibit. It will continue to stay and be part of our show.” He hates to see Moore go. What will Moore do in retirement? “I’ve got an engine I’m restoring in my shop at home. I ain’t gonna quit.”

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
TRIAD – The Internal Revenue Service has issued a list of tips on the tanning excise tax that went into effect July 1. The tax is part of the Affordable Care Act that was enacted in March. Here are nine tips and guidelines regarding the tax: • Businesses providing ultraviolet tanning services must collect the 10 percent excise tax at the time the customer pays for the tanning services. • If the customer fails to
pay the excise tax, the tanning service provider is liable for the tax. • The tax does not apply to phototherapy services performed by a licensed medical professional on his or her premises. • The tax does not apply to spray-on tanning services. • If a payment covers charges for tanning services along with other goods and services, the other goods and services may be excluded from the tax if they are separately stated and the charges do not exceed the fair market value
for those other goods and services. • If the customer purchases bundled services and the charges are not separately stated, the tax applies to the portion of the payment that can be reasonably attributed to the indoor tanning services. • The tax does not have to be paid on membership fees for certain qualified physical fitness facilities that offer indoor tanning services as an incidental service to members without a separately identifiable fee. • Tanning service pro-
viders must report and pay the excise tax on a quarterly basis. • To pay the tax, businesses must file IRS Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return using an Employer Identification Number assigned by the IRS. Businesses that don’t already have one can apply for an EIN online at IRS.gov.

Woman charged in NC bomb Sechrest threat released on bond CHARLOTTE (AP) – A woman who is facing charges after she allegedly told security workers at a North Carolina airport that she had a bomb was released on bond Friday, authorities said. The U.S. Attorney’s Office confirmed Danielle Shanese Smith, 25, of Virginia Beach, Va., had been released, adding Smith is not allowed to fly commercially or enter an airport until her case is concluded. Smith was arrested Wednesday night at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport and charged with giving false information. Authorities said Smith told security workers several times that she had a bomb as she and another person tried to board
a US Airways flight to Norfolk, Va. Smith’s attorney did not return a phone call seeking comment. The statements caused airport police to close the checkpoint where the threat was made and evacuate all passengers, authorities said. In addition, the flight on which she was booked took off about 20 minutes late, they added. An affidavit from Roland Morneault, a federal air marshal, said a body scan indicated anomalies on Smith so they asked if she had anything in her pockets. “I have a bomb,” the affidavit said she responded. She repeated the statement, with an expletive added, when asked a second time, the marshal said in the affidavit.
When asked to repeat her statement in front of second officer, Smith did so, the affidavit states. The officers requested a supervisor, who asked her again if she had anything in her pockets. Smith replied: “a bomb, cuz I am a (expletive) terrorist,” according to the document. Although officers found no explosive, they said Smith had “an intense stare” and “a nonjoking demeanor” that made theme believe her threat was credible, the affidavit said. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Smith, if convicted, faces a maximum penalty of a $250,000 fine, five years in prison or both. In addition, the airport police charged Smith with disorderly conduct.
Residents may get help recycling old electronics RALEIGH (AP) – A new bill may let North Carolinians dump their old computers on the street for recycling pickup alongside their plastic bottles and cans. An amended electronic waste bill that only needs the governor’s signature assigns shared responsibility for recycling electronics to manufacturers and local governments. Either manufacturers can shoulder most of the burden of recycling their products or they can pay for local governments to do more of the heavy lifting for them. Either way, officials say the bill will hopefully en-
courage people not to toss their old gadgets in the trash. “Consumers need this free and convenient recycling option to encourage them to recycle,” said Sen. Don Vaughan who sponsored the bill. He added that the law would be a model for other states. “What I believe we have is one of the best recycling plans anywhere in the country,” he said. As the usage of cell phones, personal computers and televisions in the United States continues to increase so does the amount of electronic waste, or e-waste. Electronics con-
Ferry chief fired after 2 months on job RALEIGH (AP) – The man hired to get North Carolina’s ferries back on track after a federal investigation into illegal dredging said he was fired after just two months for doing his job. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Harold Finch, 58, came out of retirement with the Coast Guard on May 1 to lead the 500-employee ferry division. The agency’s former director had been convicted of lying to investigators about illegal dredging in the Currituck Sound. Finch said his firing June 25 from the $92,500 job shows the Transportation Department, which oversees the ferry division, lacks the courage of its convictions. “I thought I was brought in to fix it, but I guess I tried to fix too much,”
Finch said, adding that he told the agency’s top officials about nepotism, payroll padding and questionable spending. The DOT’s inspector general is investigating several of Finch’s allegations about the division, which is based in Morehead City, officials said. That investigation began before Finch was fired, DOT spokeswoman Greer Beaty said Friday. DOT officials said they fired Finch because of personality conflicts with staff. They also said he fell behind on a 60-day business plan for the division. “In the end, was Buddy going to be able to meet the expectations that I gave him for this job?” said Jim Trogdon, the DOT’s chief operating officer. “My determination was no.”
tain potentially harmful materials like mercury. Unlike other recyclables, computers can require disassembly and are made of numerous materials. “It’s definitely a different animal than a piece of paper,” said Scott Mouw, North Carolina’s recycling director. People have a tendency to hoard unusable or obsolete electronics, Mouw said. In a February study, the N.C. Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance estimated that there were almost 70,000 tons of electronic waste ready for disposal in North Carolina.

Common groundcover can yield medicine A
s we look to the world around us to feed, fuel and heal us, we naturally look at the flora of plants in the world. Social scientists have long observed how various ethnic groups and tribes around the world have used plants for all three sectors of our existence: food, fuel and medicine. As this field called “ethnobotany� has expanded, more and more uses of plants are discovered. A common landscape plant that is native to subtropical regions of North America, Europe, Asia Minor, Russia, India and China, called St. John’s Wort has shown additional promise in government labs. A unique collection of St. John’s wort (Hypericum) collected and cultured by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in Ames, Iowa, is providing university collaborators with genetically diverse, well-documented sources of this ground-cover
plant to use in studies examining its medicinal potential. St. John’s wort is a plant with yellow flowers whose mediciECOLOGY nal uses were first recorded in Gwyn ancient Greece. Riddick The name St. ■■■John’s wort apparently refers to John the Baptist, as the plant blooms around the time of the feast of St. John the Baptist in late June. In collaboration with Mark Widrlechner, a horticulturist with the ARS crop genebank at the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station in Ames, scientists from the Center for Research on Botanical Dietary Supplements (CRBDS) are screening 180 germplasm accessions of St. John’s wort for biologically active compounds. Some may be worth evaluating further in clinical
trials for their potential to combat viral infections, reduce inflammation or improve digestive health. According to a recent news release, the ARS Ames crop genebank established in 1948 maintains more than 50,000 variations of ornamental plants, maize, oilseeds, vegetables and other crops, and provides them to researchers for many applications. Plants bred with medicinal or nutraceutical value include Echinacea (purple coneflower), Hypericum, Prunella (self-heal) and Actaea racemosa (black cohosh). ARS horticulturist Luping Qu cares for the collection and Widrlechner coordinates its use for research at CRBDS, one of six Botanical Research Centers funded by the National Institutes of Health from 2005-10. The Hypericum collection at Ames was started in the 1990s and today encompasses about 60 species collected from around the world. This diver-
sity has enabled investigations of genetic, environmental and developmental factors affecting the quantity and quality of bioactive compounds, as well as their modes of action. Of particular interest is how these compounds interact and whether those interactions are critical to human health benefits. In a recent issue of Pharmaceutical Biology, researchers noted that combinations of four compounds from St. John’s wort (amentoflavone, chlorogenic acid, pseudohypericin and quercetin) were more effective at reducing inflammation in mouse macrophage assays than when each was used alone. According to the Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine: St. John’s wort has been used for centuries to treat mental disorders and nerve pain. St. John’s wort has also been used as a sedative and a treatment for malaria, as well as a balm for wounds, burns and insect bites.
Today, St. John’s wort is used by some for depression, anxiety and/or sleep disorders. A number of conflicting studies to support any of this are being debated. No one should take such herbs or concoctions of plants without consulting their physician. One of the researchers of this study was Dr. Joe-Ann McCoy who is now in Asheville at the Bent Creek Institute. She is surveying more than 6,500 species of plants in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina for bioactive compounds that might be useful for mankind. GWYN RIDDICK is a North Carolina Certified Plantsman and registered landscape contractor. He is a Fellow in the Natural Resources Leadership Institute and is vice president of agricultural technology for the North Carolina Biotechnology Center.

Girl resents attention parents give brother
D
ear Abby: I’m 13, the youngest of three children, but I am treated with no respect. My parents (mostly my dad) treat my brother like he’s a prince. Even if he loses a football game he is praised. I just started playing volleyball and my team won, but my parents haven’t said anything to me. Dad treats me and my sister as if we are in the 18th century. We’re supposed to work all the time while our brother is spoiled. Even when we finish working they don’t appreciate it, and I’m always to blame. Abby, I feel so disrespected. Please help me. I have talked to them about it, but it doesn’t seem to get through. – Needs Respect in Tampa, Fla. Dear Needs Respect:
Does your sister feel the same way you do? If so, you should approach your mothADVICE er together and discuss Dear it. Even if Abby your father ■■■doesn’t, she should be praising you when you do something right. I hope you and your sister continue to strive to excel and be recognized, because you may find that while your father isn’t capable of giving you the affirmation you need, others will as you achieve your goals. So bide your time and persevere. If you do, you won’t be sorry. Dear Abby: A friend of mine, “Ashley,� is being
married in September. She invited me to be one of her bridesmaids and my two children to be ring-bearers. I accepted because I felt obligated and didn’t want to hurt her feelings, but now I regret my answer. Abby, I cannot stand there beside her and support her marrying the man she has chosen. He is dishonest and in debt because of his poor decisions. After three years of dating, Ashley gave him a deadline to propose, and he waited until the last minute. I understand this is her choice – I just cannot support it. She continues to say how she misses spending time with me, but makes no effort to get together. Needless to say, our friendship is not what it was at one point. My question is, how do I back

Children’s museum reopens DETROIT (AP) – The Detroit Children’s Museum, which was shuttered last year amid cost-cutting by the city’s school district, has reopened with revamped exhibits, a new preschool area and more of its thousands of artifacts on display. Hands-on components are now incorporated into all exhibits, museum director Julie Johnson said. Newly displayed items include the skull of an extinct mammal Andrewsarchus, masks and Civil War artifacts. The museum previously was run by the cash-strapped Detroit Public Schools, which closed it last August. It’s now being operated by the Detroit Science Cen-
ter under a 10-year agreement that is expected to save the state’s largest district $11.9 million. The museum reopened June 26. “We didn’t lose this gem,� Johnson said. “It’s been here since 1917. This is a very important part of Detroit.� The district still owns the museum, which has more than 100,000 artifacts. New acquisitions will belong to the Science Center, which has brought in some if its displays such as a towering model Tyrannosaurus rex. “The Detroit Children’s Museum was not a core part of our operations,� Robert Bobb, the district’s state-appointed emergency financial
manager, said in statement. “The museum needed to be given the stability of not being in the annual school budget cycle.� The 93-year-old museum houses dinosaur bones, dioramas, costumes and dolls from around the world. It also has an extensive collection of rocks, fossils and crystals, some of which are being presented in new displays. The new preschool area will include a puppet theater and live turtles. And some of the museum’s mainstays remain, including a stuffed Bengal tiger named Champ in an expanded animal exhibit and the horse sculpture “Silverbolt� outside.
out now, before it’s too late? And how do I explain things without creating an enemy? – Mommy Of Two Dear Mommy: Tell her immediately, and here’s how: “Ashley, I can’t be in the wedding. I don’t think this man is good enough for you, and I think you are doing something you will regret later. Please don’t think I don’t care about you because I do, but the children and I cannot be a part of this.� Dear Abby: Yesterday, after my neighbors went out, the hose on their washing machine broke. Because the faucet had been left in the open position, hot water gushed out all day long, soaking through the floor and
flooding their basement. Abby, their basement had just been refinished. The repairs will cost thousands of additional dollars. My dad warned me about this potential problem years ago. Ever since, I have always turned my faucets off when I am not actually doing laundry. Please print this so your readers will know to shut off the washing machine faucets unless their machine is in use. – Grateful Daughter in Colorado Dear Grateful Daughter: Thank you for a valuable reminder. Better to take an extra second to turn off the taps than spend hours bailing, mopping and kicking yourself.

UNBEATABLE The contract was unbeatable. South should draw trumps, take the ace of clubs and lead a diamond. If West follows with the five or six, South plays dummy’s seven, and when East wins, he is end-played. If instead West plays a higher intermediate on the first diamond, South takes the ace, returns a trump to his hand and leads a second diamond, covering an intermediate from West with the jack. If East takes the queen, he is end-played.
CROSSWORD
Saturday, July 3, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Tom Cruise, 48; Montel Williams, 54; Dave Barry, 63; Tom Stoppard, 73 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Stop sulking and start to make your life the way you want it before you have regrets. Consider what you want, what you have and what isn’t working for you and be proactive. Be a little more demanding and you will gain the respect you want and deserve. Success comes from taking action. Your numbers are 11, 14, 17, 22, 26, 30, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t worry about something you cannot change. Put your work aside and enjoy doing something that interests you that will make you feel good about yourself. Don’t let anyone put limitations or demands on you – be clear about what you will put up with. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): New friends can be made while traveling or attending a conference or taking a course. High energy, coupled with accuracy and speed, will show everyone you mean business. Don’t be afraid to show your emotions. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Past emotional situations will surface. Let your experience guide you to a better ending. Anger solves nothing. Expanding your interests and trying new activities will lead to meeting someone with whom you have a lot in common. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can turn a wrong into a right and appeal to the people you need in your corner if you speak from the heart and share your feelings. If you wait for things to come to you, you will miss out on something good. Changes at home will be positive. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel, intrigue and financial gains can all play into your life. Good fortune is within reach. Uncertainty will be what holds you back. Be ready to take action and get in the game. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Focus on love, relationships and making things the best you can at home. Don’t overspend or go overboard in order to have fun. There are plenty of ways to spice things up without going into debt. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You cannot give in to ultimatums or unreasonable demands. It may be emotionally draining but, by procrastinating or giving in, an ongoing dilemma will eventually lead to a dead end. Do something creative that will ease your stress. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s time to cut your losses so you can move on to a friendly situation. Don’t be fooled by someone you have trusted in the past. Everyone is looking out for his or her own interests. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Careful what you say or do – you may be blamed for meddling. An investment that interests you will probably not be as good as you hoped. If you really want to invest, consider learning a new skill or picking up additional knowledge. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Taking charge will show everyone where you stand and what your intentions are. You can expect to have a problem with a neighbor or relative who wants to call the shots. Consider a partnership in order to complete what you’ve started. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider past relationships so you don’t make the same mistake. Be honest with yourself and the people trying to help you and you will find a way to change your lifestyle and your future. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have to make up your own mind if you want to have any say in the way things transpire. Step things up a bit, take control and, before you know it, you will have an equal share in whatever you pursue – a relationship, project or a deal. ★★★

BRIDGE
All that glitters may have a high refractory index, but “golden opportunities” can be illusions. Today’s declarer saw a golden opportunity: He could make his slam if one of two finesses won or if diamonds broke 3-3. He took the king of clubs, drew trumps, cashed the ace of diamonds, led a club to his ace and tried a diamond to dummy’s jack. East won and returned the nine of diamonds, and West discarded. South took the king, ruffed dummy’s last diamond and tried the heart finesse. Alas, down one. Did South have a better chance to strike gold?
HOROSCOPE
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A Q J 9 8 3 H Q 6 D 4 3 2 C A 3. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade and he bids two diamonds. What do you say? ANSWER: A jump to three spades would be invitational, not forcing. A scientific approach is to bid three clubs, a “fourth suit” bid that merely asks partner to continue describing his hand. A practical approach is to jump to four spades. Your good intermediates in spades should render that contract playable. 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.

Is cold lake water a danger in hot weather?
D
ear Dr. Donohue: Every summer we spend a month in northern Canada on an inland lake. The water in the lake is so frigid that I never go in. My kids do. They come out shivering. That has me wondering if they could be doing some kind of harm to themselves. What do you think? – A.B.
BLONDIE
I’ve never heard of cold-water injury during the summer. I suppose it’s theoretically possible. Your children have survived well in other summers. That’s evidence that they’re not suffering any harm. People who set the rules for swimming competition won’t allow an event to take place if the water temperature is below 57 F (14 C). If you have a boat and a thermometer, you can obtain the water temperature by rowing out to the middle of the lake. The water temperature is taken at a depth of 16 inches. Tie the thermometer to a 16-inch string and submerge it. Most people, children included, won’t stay in cold water long enough to cause serious body complications. Your kids are cold. That’s why they’re shivering. Shivering comes from muscle contractions, which generate heat. You also could take your children’s temperature and see what the thermometer registers. Mild hypothermia, an unhealthy low body temperature, begins at 95 F (35 C).

HEALTH Dr. Paul Donohue ■■■
Dear Dr. Donohue: What’s the best treatment for sunburn? I have to treat my kids for it every summer, and I’m not sure if what I’m
doing is good. I have heard so many home remedies, like vinegar and tea. Please outline what a good sunburn treatment is. – P.J. The best treatment for sunburn is not getting it. If your kids are the type who never tan but always burn, they shouldn’t be going outdoors without wearing sunscreen. Sunscreen has to be reapplied every two hours, unless directions on the label state otherwise. The sunscreen should have an SPF (sun protection factor) between 15 and 30. A sunburn might be no more than a reddening of the skin without any pain. Or it can be very red skin that forms blisters. For mild to moderate sunburn, cold compresses soothe the skin. Aspirin and drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen ease pain and lessen skin inflammation. Cortisone creams and ointments, as well as products such as aloe vera gel, also take the sting out of sunburn. Don’t use vinegar or tea. For serious blistering,
take the child to the family doctor. Dear Dr. Donohue: I play golf almost every day during the warm weather. I have developed a pain in my hand and wrist on the little-finger side. Do you think if I padded that area I could continue to play? I have stopped playing because of the pain. It’s not horrible pain, but it hurts enough that I wish I didn’t have it. – B.R. Don’t think of padding until you find out the cause of the pain. A common golf injury on that side of the wrist and hand is a fracture of the hamate bone, one of the wrist bones. The hamate has a bony projection that looks like a hook. The end of a golf club jams the hook of the hamate, and it can separate from the body of the bone. The pain is in the area you describe. Early treatment involves a cast. You need an X-ray, possibly a scan. It’s often hard to see this kind of fracture on an X-ray. If you delay too long, an orthopedic surgeon has to operate to remove the broken hook. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Speedway Motorsports applies for change in its Cup dates. 3C DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Kevin Harvick had no chance to start from the pole at Daytona International Speedway — until the rain came. Harvick, the Sprint Cup points leader, was awarded the pole for Saturday night’s Coke Zero 400 when rain washed out qualifying Friday. “Obviously, that’ll make things a little easier at the beginning of the race to get things going,” Harvick said. Harvick was one of only 12 cars that completed qualifying laps Friday before showers, but the best he would have started the race was ninth. Sam Hornish Jr. turned the fastest lap, but he will start 30th based on owner’s points. The field was set by points for the third time this season. Qualifying at Martinsville and Talladega also was rained out. It also was the third time in the last four years that rain wiped out qualifying at Daytona in July. It happened in 2007 and 2009. Four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson will start on the outside of the first row.

Flames shoot from Johnny Chapman’s car (43) as he slams into rookie Jennnifer Jo Cobb during Friday night’s 250-mile Nationwide race at Daytona International Speedway. Both escaped injury. Story 3C. Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch round out the first three rows. Hamlin won’t get to stay there, though. Hamlin, Tony Stewart and Reed Sorenson will have to start from the back of the field after crashing Thursday night and going to backup cars. NASCAR rules state that cars unable to turn any laps during practice or qualifying have to start at the back of the pack because of safety concerns.
David Stremme, Bobby Labonte, Travis Kvapil, Steve Park, Max Papis, J.J. Yeley, Joe Nemechek and Dave Blaney were beneficiaries of the rain. They all earned automatic starting spots instead of having to qualify on speed. Todd Bodine and Michael McDowell were sent home, unable to attempt to get into the 43-car field. Harvick, meanwhile, will lead the field to the green flag. It’s a position he also enjoyed at Mar-
tinsville. At Daytona, he said the most important part about being up front is the fact that it comes with getting the first stall on pit road. “If there’s a caution at the end of the race, I’d take my chances on having that pit stall just to gain a few spots if you’re not leading the race,” Harvick said. “The other thing it creates is not getting run over with getting in and out of your pit stall and not getting damage on pit road.”
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR is considering tweaking the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, with chairman Brian France wanting to create more drama to the title-deciding format. “We want to make sure (the Chase) is giving us the biggest impact moments it was designed to do,” France said Friday. “Everything, to us, means pushing the winning envelope to mean what it needs to mean in our sport. We’re happy with the Chase, (but) if we can enhance it in a pretty significant way, we may do that.” France would not talk specifics, but in general terms, his ideas sounded as if NASCAR is considering both eliminations and tweaking the system to ensure that several drivers are in title contention during the season finale. In the past several years, Jimmie Johnson has had to only preserve a decent finish to wrap up the title with little to no competition. “We like a playoff-style format for sure,” France said. “The big design is to have playoff type moments that only can be, in any sport, created when there’s a lot on the line at any one moment.”
HPU fills pieces of scheduling puzzle BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
DON DAVIS JR. | HPE
Brings the heat T.J. Clarkson of the HiToms comes over the top, firing a pitch to the plate as Thomasville faced the Kernersville Bulldogs of the Carolina-Virginia Collegiate League in an exhibition game Friday night at Finch Field. The HiToms travel to Gastonia tonight as they return to Coastal Plain League action. They return home to entertain Forest City on Sunday for a Fourth of July celebration that will include fireworks after the game. First pitch will be at 7 p.m. instead of the normal 5 p.m. Sunday start time.
HIGH POINT – With the date for hosting Wake Forest during the 2011-12 season set, High Point University athletics director Craig Keilitz and men’s basketball coach Scott Cherry are putting the finishing touches on the 2010-11 slate. “There are certainly a lot of pieces we are trying to fit together, not only for this upcoming season but also for the seasons beyond,” Keilitz said. A trip to Wake is set as part of a four-game series that began last year and includes the Panthers making three appearances at Joel Coliseum in exchange for the Demon Deacons coming to the Millis Center. Keilitz and Cherry indicated the schedule will likely include a trip to a school from another major conference. Keilitz did not rule out games against ACC schools other than Wake over the next three years.
“We’re hoping some people come through,” Keilitz said. Some of the pieces set include home-and-home series with Southern Conference member The Citadel and Ohio Valley Conference member Tennessee Tech. HPU will go to both of those schools during the upcoming season and entertain them in 2011-12. Those series help Keilitz and Cherry in their efforts to upgrade the HPU home schedule with teams from mid-major conferences. But, as in years past, they found some mid-major schools unwilling to play at High Point. The difficulty in landing home games forced the scheduling of two contests against non-Division I opponents. Keilitz hopes that doesn’t happen again. “We really don’t want to schedule those kind of games in the future,” Keilitz said. “They don’t do anything for your RPI or your reputation. We would like to bring in teams that
the community and our students would like to see.” Cherry said he wants to put together a schedule that “is balanced, home and away, where we can be competitive and have quality basketball.” Cherry also said the Panthers’ schedule is set for their trip to the Bahamas. HPU will leave Aug. 7, play a game the next day, sightsee on Aug. 9 and play another game on the 10th. The Panthers will have a free day on Aug. 11 and then return Aug. 12. NCAA rules will allow the Panthers to practice beginning Aug. 1 in advance of the trip. Cherry said opponents for the two games probably won’t be known until about a week before the Panthers leave. “It’s not important who we play,” Cherry said. “The important thing is that we will be able to get our new guys (at least six) working with our returning players.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519
HIT AND RUN

’ll admit it. Richard Petty’s epic victory over Cale Yarborough in the 1984 Firecracker 400 remains one of my all-time favorite sports moments. The King earned Cup triumph No. 200 on July 4, 1984, before an audience that included President Reagan, The finish has to rank as one of the best in NASCAR history. But the summer event at Daytona International Speedway is defined by much more than that memorable Wednesday 26 years ago.
From 1959 until ‘62, it was known as the Firecracker 250. Starting in ‘63, the race adopted the 400-mile format it still features today. The first night Cup race in Daytona history was scheduled for July 4, 1998. But wildfires in the Daytona area forced the postponement of that race until Oct. 17, 1998. Jeff Gordon smoked the field for the victory. A look at the multiple summer champions at Daytona reads like a who’s who of racing. David Pearson owns five career Cup wins in
the July race (including three straight from 1972-74), while Yarborough won four times. Three-time champs include Fireball Roberts, Bobby Allison, Petty, Gordon and Tony Stewart. The two-time 400 winners aren’t too shabby, either – A.J. Foyt, Bill Elliott and Dale Earnhardt Sr. Look for plenty more fireworks when the 400 goes green tonight shortly after 7:30.

University of Georgia athletic director Damon Evans repeatedly referred to his position at the school before his arrest on a drunken driving charge and asked the patrol officer if there was “anything you can do without arresting me,” according to a police report released Friday. Evans told the Georgia State Patrol officer several times he was the school’s athletic director before he was arrested late Wednesday and charged with DUI and failure to maintain a lane, according to the report.

Wimbledon glance WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Friday at the All England Club: Noteworthy: It’s 72 years and counting since a British man reached the Wimbledon final. Britons are winless in their past 10 semifinal appearances. Quoteworthy: “We always talked a lot. I don’t remember serving; I just remember talking. Lord knows what we were talking about, but we never stopped talking, unless my dad was looking at us, then we would serve. Then when he wasn’t looking, we would just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.” — Serena Williams on practicing her serve with sister Venus when they were growing up. Weather: Partly cloudy. High of 81.

NCAA settles on 68-team tourney format INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA has settled on the format for the new 68-team men’s basketball tournament, though the announcement isn’t scheduled until sometime next week. The Division I men’s basketball committee reached its decision after studying a number of options and discussing feedback during meetings in Chicago, said David Worlock, associate director of the March Madness tournament. Details were not disclosed. “We discussed several options, just trying to not leave any stone unturned,� said com-
mittee member Laing Kennedy, the athletic director at Kent State. The NCAA announced in April that it would add three teams to the field, the first expansion for the tournament since it went from 64 to 65 in 2001 after going from 48 to 64 in 1985. The new format is scheduled to take effect next March. NCAA officials recommended the 68-team field after the public loudly complained that going to 80 or 96 teams would water down the NCAA’s marquee event, and network executives insisted they did not need more
tourney games to make a profit on the next television contract — a 14-year, $10.8 billion television package with CBS and Turner Broadcasting. A 96-team field likely would have enveloped the 32-team NIT, the NCAA’s other, independently run season-ending tournament. Instead, the expansion was much more modest, but it was not without hurdles. The committee was known to have looked at at least three possibilities. One would slot the bottom eight teams in the tournament into the opening round and have them play
for the right to move on to the round of 64. Another option would put the last eight at-large teams to make the field into the play-in games. There was also talk of a hybrid plan that could include both at-large teams and automatic qualifiers. Committee chair Dan Guerrero, the athletic director at UCLA, has said putting the eight lowest-seeded teams in the opening-round games would help the selection committee stay “true to the seed process.� One of the issues for the
committee was how to handle schools from smaller conferences that don’t want to be consistently forced to play in additional early-round games. Since the tournament increased to 65 teams in 2001 and added a play-in game, a school from the Southwestern Athletic Conference has been sent to that game five times. The committee also had to figure out when and where the opening-round games will be played. Guerrero has said there’s a good chance the opening round will stay in Dayton, Ohio.
Earnhardt drives No. 3 to victory DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. raced to his first NASCAR victory since 2007, driving a retro paint scheme to Victory Lane at Daytona International Speedway. Earnhardt entered Friday night’s Nationwide Series race in a No. 3 Chevrolet with a Wrangler paint scheme to honor his father’s induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Dale Earnhardt was killed in a last-lap accident in the 2001 Daytona 500. Earnhardt said earlier this week that it would likely be the last drive he would drive a
car with the No. 3. Earnhardt Jr. bided his time most of the race, then moved to the lead following a pit stop under yellow with 26 laps remaining. He did not pit when Paul Menard brought out the final caution with four laps remaining. Earnhardt then held off Joey Logano over a two-lap sprint to the finish to win his first Nationwide race since Michigan in 2006. It was Earnhardt’s first victory in any NASCAR race since a Sprint Cup Series win at Michigan in 2007.
SMI submits request for schedule change BY WILL GRAVES AP SPORTS WRITER
Speedway Motorsports Inc. has submitted a scheduling request to NASCAR for the 2011 season, perhaps finally opening the door for the company to bring a longcoveted Sprint Cup race to Kentucky Speedway. NASCAR chairman Brian France said Friday in Daytona Beach, Fla., that track operators SMI and International Speedway Corp. have both submitted schedule proposals for 2011. “They’ve followed the policy that we have laid out on realignment,� France said. “We’ll have to see how it all fits into the greater schedule as we go in the next couple weeks.� SMI officials had no immediate comment, but chairman Bruton Smith has been vocal about his desire to bring the elite Cup series to his property in northern Kentucky. The speedway located about halfway between Louisville, Ky., and Cincinnati already hosts NASCAR Nationwide and Truck series races as well as an annual visit by the IndyCar Series. SMI could move a race from one of its other
tracks to Kentucky. The company also owns New Hampshire Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway and Infineon Raceway. Smith, however, has consistently said he’d prefer to have NASCAR simply award the track a race. That scenario seems unlikely, though former track co-owner Jerry Carroll — who now works as a consultant for SMI — said “there are no hard feelings� from the lawsuit. During last week’s Cup visit to New Hampshire, Smith didn’t exactly endorse the prospect of continuing to have two Cup races a year in New England. While the second race traditionally kicks off the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship, the June race could easily be bumped off the schedule. Not that Carroll is bothered either way. He is already aggressively courting potential title sponsors for whenever the track receives a Cup race. “There’s enough apples to pick from,� said Carroll, who added the seating expansion could be “done in the snap of a finger.�
Another hole patched at Daytona DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Daytona International Speedway officials are doing everything possible to avoid another pesky pothole. Engineers, asphalt specialists and track workers spent Friday repeatedly checking every inch of the 21⠄2-mile superspeedway. The heightened surveillance came hours after inspectors found another damaged section of track between turns 1 and 2 — a few feet from the spot that nearly shut down
Bloom returns to Rose
the Daytona 500 in February. Workers used epoxy to repair a 1-foot-by-41⠄2foot area as a “precautionary measure� late Thursday night, track president Robin Braig said. “It’s going to get tested, but we are confident that the precautions we’re taking are going to make a great Coke Zero 400,� Braig said. NASCAR’s most storied track hasn’t been fully repaved since 1978.

Surry evens series ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
PILOT MOUNTAIN – The High Point Post 87 Junior HiToms suffered a 7-5 loss Friday night and will play a decisive tie-breaker game today against Surry County Post 123 in the first round of the American Legion Baseball Area III North playoffs. Post 87, seeded fourth, wasted a strong pitch-
ing performance from Andrew Barnett, who struck out 13 batters. He allowed five walks and eight hits in 72â „3 innings, but only three of the seven runs he allowed were earned against fifth-seeded Surry. Kevin Sanders hit his 10th home run of the season to spark the Junior HiToms, a tworun blast in the first. DeSean Anderson went
3-for-5 with a run and RBI, Cameron Hendrix was 2-for-5 with a run scored and Victor Zecca also was 2-for-4 with a run scored. The best-of-three series will be decided today at 5 p.m. at Finch Field. The winner advances to the second round best-of-five series against the winner of No. 1 Western Forsyth/ No. 8 Winston-Salem.
N E W T O W N SQUARE, Pa. — Justin Rose was happy to be leading the AT&T National, especially because it was only five days ago that he threw away a chance to win with a surprising meltdown in the final round. Tiger Woods? He’s happy to still be playing. Rose played bogeyfree Friday and wound up with the best score of the tournament, a 6-under 64, to build a one-shot lead over Jason Day (68) and Charlie Wi (65) going into the weekend at demanding Aronimink Golf Club. Woods, who won this tournament last year at Congressional, hit the ball well for the second straight day. He again got nothing out of it, however, and missed a 30-inch putt late in the round that brought him back to a 70. He was at 3-over 143, which made the cut on the number, although he was never in serious danger of going home early.
LPGA SYLVANIA, Ohio — Na Yeon Choi followed her opening 7-under 64 with a 67 to take a twostroke lead in the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic. Choi has needed just 53 putts in 36 holes while getting to 11-under 131 at Highland Meadows Golf Club. South Korean compatriot Inbee Park (66) was tied for second with Christina Kim (67) and Canadian Alena Sharp (68).
CHAMPIONS TOUR BLAINVILLE, Quebec — Tom Wargo shot a 7-under 65 — the first time he has bettered his age in Champions Tour play — for a share of the first-round lead in the inaugural Montreal Championship. The 67-year-old Wargo who won the last of his four Champions Tour titles in 2000, had a bogey-free round at Fontainebleau Golf Club to match Russ Cochran atop the leaderboard and also tie the course record.

Free agent dominoes slowly start to fall THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Amare Stoudemire is out of Phoenix and headed to New York – for a meeting. If the Knicks are willing to give him a maximum salary contract, a deal might not be far behind. Speaking of meetings, Dwyane Wade had a second one with the Chicago Bulls on Friday, perhaps a sign that his return to Miami isn’t as guaranteed as once thought. Paul Pierce agreed to stick around in Boston and the Mavericks let Dirk Nowitzki know how much they want him to remain in Dallas, but many of the leading names in this free agency class are still available. Though the focus has been on LeBron James, Wade and Chris Bosh, Stou-
demire might be able to land big bucks before them. When the Suns gave long-term deals to Channing Frye and Hakim Warrick, it became clear that Stoudemire was on his way out of Phoenix. His agent, Happy Walters, confirmed that the Suns were no longer in the picture and said Stoudemire was going to New York this weekend to meet with the Knicks “but we’re talking to other teams as well.” Walters said no matter where Stoudemire signs, it will be for the maximum of five years and about $100 million. The Knicks might be willing to spend that if they feel they’ll fall short in pitches they made to James on Thursday, and Wade and Bosh on Friday. James received visits Friday from the Heat and Los Angeles Clippers. The
Then he sat down again with the Bulls, his hometown team which has been considered a favorite to land James. The league’s MVP will meet with them Saturday and first talking to Chicago. The Celtics’ four-year contract with Pierce was not announced, but was confirmed to The AP by a Boston official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the free agent signing period does not begin until Thursday. Mavericks president Donnie Nelson said he made a “significant” contract offer to Nowitzki’s adviser. Warrick agreed to a four-year, $18 million deal with Phoenix on Friday, shortly after Frye agreed to a five-year, $30 million offer to re-sign with the Suns. The Bucks agreed to a $40 million, five-year deal with free agent guard John Salmons.
Heat have also spoken to Stoudemire and Bosh as they try to find a player or players to come join Wade – if he sticks around South Florida. “This is a very fluid process,” Heat president Pat Riley said. “We’ve had five meetings across the country in the span of 40 hours. We will continue with the process. It’s still early in free agency, but we feel very good with how our presentations have gone thus far.” Wade has long said his preference was to stay in Miami, but he’s given himself options. He met with the Bulls and New Jersey Nets on Thursday, then got a pitch from the Knicks on Friday. “It was a good meeting, it was a real good meeting and I will say I’m intrigued,” he said, declining further comment before driving away.
British dreams dashed
AP
Ghana’s Dominic Adiyiah fails to score on a shootout penalty against Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera during Friday’s thrilling World Cup quarterfinal at Soccer City in Johannesburg, South Africa. Uruguay advanced 4-2 on penalty kicks.
Uruguay wins stunner THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHANNESBURG – Victories – and defeats – don’t come any tougher than this. Uruguay survived when Ghana missed a penalty kick at the very end of extra time, then won the shootout 4-2 after a 1-1 draw in their World Cup quarterfinal Friday. The wild win sent the South Americans into the semifinals for the first time in 40 years. It sent the final African team home in tears. Sebastian Abreu chipped in his penalty kick to give Uruguay a spot opposite the Netherlands in the final four. Ghana missed twice in the shootout, but wouldn’t have been there had Asamoah Gyan, who made two penalty kicks earlier in the tournament, not hit the crossbar on the final play of overtime. So Uruguay, once a soccer power, most recently an afterthought, travels to Cape Town for Tuesday’s semifinal. The last nation to make the tournament, it needed a playoff against Costa Rica just to get in. Now it is one step from the title match. “To be among the four best (teams) in the world, there are no words for that,” star striker Diego Forlan said. “We felt we were going to faint with each penalty.” Ghana carried the weight of an entire continent’s soccer hopes – the other five African nations did not advance – and became the third African team to exit in the quarterfinals of a World Cup. The Black Stars couldn’t replicate the opportunism they used to beat the United States in extra time six days ago. Sulley Muntari, known more for his bad attitude than his good play, gave Ghana the lead in the final seconds of the first half. But even with Brazil’s loss to the Dutch earlier Friday, this has been South America’s tournament. Forlan tied it with a swirling free kick early in the second half, and penalty kicks won it for Uruguay. And lost it for Ghana.
As extra time ticked down, a scramble in front of the Uruguay net caught goalkeeper Fernando Muslera out of position. Dominic Adiyiah’s header was cleared off the goal line by Luis Suarez – using his arm. That drew an immediate red card for the striker, who will miss the semifinal, and sent Gyan to the penalty spot. With the noise seemingly at a supersonic level, Gyan calmly eyed Muslera, then struck the ball off the crossbar. Gyan stumbled away holding his head as the whistle sounded, sending the match to penalty kicks and the crowd into stunned silence. The shootout moved to 3-2 for Uruguay when Muslera guessed correctly, diving left for an easy save on John Mensah. After Maximiliano Pereira’s kick skied over the net, the vuvuzelas were at their loudest. But Muslera also stopped Adiyiah, and Abreu won it. As his teammates sprinted to smother him in an ecstatic scrum, several Ghanaians slumped to the field. And Soccer City fell silent again.
NETHERLANDS 2, BRAZIL 1 PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa – Soccer’s perennial World Cup underachievers from the Netherlands knocked off mighty Brazil, stamping the Dutch as a strong contender to finally win that elusive title. Wesley Sneijder, one of the shortest players on the field, scored in the 68th minute on a header for a stunning quarterfinal win over the five-time champions. “It just slipped through from my bald head and it was a great feeling,” Sneijder said. Top-ranked Brazil, which also went out in this round four years ago against France, lost its composure after it fell behind and defender Felipe Melo was ejected in the 73rd minute for stomping on the leg of Arjen Robben. The Dutch made the championship match in 1974 and ’78, but lost both.
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) – Rafael Nadal is back in the Wimbledon final for the fourth time in his last four appearances. Britain’s 74-year wait for a homegrown men’s champion goes on. The top-ranked Spaniard took apart fourthseeded Andy Murray 64, 7-6 (6), 6-4 on Friday to move within one win of a second Wimbledon title and an eighth Grand Slam championship. Nadal was at his relentless best, whipping topspin forehands from corner to corner, as he put on a bravura performance in front of a Centre Court audience that included David Beckham. Nadal will be a heavy favorite in Sunday’s final against 12th-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, who defeated No. 3 Novak Djokovic 6-3, 7-6 (9), 6-3 to reach his first Grand Slam title match. Nadal won Wimbledon in 2008, beating Roger Federer in an epic five-set final, but was unable to defend his title last year because of tendinitis in both knees. Defending and six-time champion
hampered his chances in his comeback attempt to win the Tour for the eighth time. Armstrong eventually finished third. “I’m not going to win on Saturday, I know that,” Armstrong said. “These time trials ... I don’t know, I’ve just lost it.” Armstrong built his seven straight Tour victories with strong displays in the mountains and time trials. But at nearly 39 years old, he lacks explosiveness in the race against the clock. Armstrong said this Tour is one of the toughest he’ll tackle.
“The first week, we can’t have any mistake,” Armstrong said. “We can’t lose time. I have to get through the first week neutral. There will be people that will be minutes behind.”
Federer was upset in the quarterfinals this week by Berdych, and Nadal now has the chance to reclaim his crown. “For me, it was amazing day, very important victory for me,” Nadal said. “I think it’s one of the biggest victories in my career.” Nadal ended Murray’s hopes of becoming the first British player to win the men’s title since Fred Perry in 1936. No British
man has even reached the final since Henry “Bunny” Austin in 1938, and British men have now lost in 10 Wimbledon semifinals since then. Nadal is 7-3 against Berdych, including wins in their last six matches. The 24-year-old Berdych is the first Czech to reach the men’s final here since Ivan Lendl in 1987. The only Czech to win the men’s title was Jan Kodes in 1973.
Women’s final: Surprise vs. Serena WIMBLEDON, England (AP) – For the women’s final at Wimbledon, Serena will be the serene one. On one side today we’ll have Miss Williams, wearing a strawberry and cream dress befitting the occasion, and hoping to celebrate her 13th Grand Slam title with the same dainty curtsy she showed the queen of England last week. On the other side we’ll have Russian Vera Zvonareva, towel draped over her head during changeovers as if hiding from her reputation for crying jags, temper tantrums and collapses in big matches. Williams has been known for the occasional outburst. But her meltdown at the 2009 U.S. Open is a fading memory – she giggled reminiscing about it last week – and both her comportment and tennis have been impeccable through six rounds at Wimbledon.
Tour’s first week not easy for Armstrong ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) – The Tour de France gets under way today and Lance Armstrong says he doesn’t expect to win the 5.5-mile prologue of what will be his last ride in cycling’s premier event. The short and mainly flat stage through the Dutch port of Rotterdam’s city center doesn’t feature major problems, but Armstrong has recently struggled in the discipline. He used to dominate his rivals in time trials during his heyday. Last year, his failure in the Annecy time trial

Britain’s Andy Murray reacts during his semifinal loss against Spain’s Rafael Nadal at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon on Friday.
Among the prologue favorites are Olympic time trial champ Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland, Bradley Wiggins and David Millar of Britain, and Tony Martin of Germany.
Zvonareva has yet to be seen losing her cool, either, but who knows what goes on under that towel? She uses it for refuge during changeovers to help her concentrate, and the result has been an improbable run to her first Grand Slam final. In a tournament filled with surprises, the success of the hard-hitting Russian ranks right up there with the relentless sunshine. Long regarded as an underachiever prone to self-destruction, the No. 21-seeded Zvonareva beat former No. 1s Kim Clijsters and Jelena Jankovic en route to the final. She also teamed with Elena Vesnina to beat the top-ranked Williams sisters in the quarterfinals of doubles. “With experience and maturity, I learn a lot about myself,” the 25-yearold Zvonareva said. “Emotions, I think they’re good. It shows that you care.”

Jobs report shows rebound may be sour WASHINGTON (AP) – A weak June jobs report offered the latest evidence that the economic recovery is slowing. Employers cut 125,000 jobs last month, the most since October, the Labor Department said Friday. The loss was driven by the end of 225,000 temporary census jobs. Businesses added a net total of 83,000 workers, the sixth straight month of private-sector job gains but not enough to speed up the recovery. Unemployment dropped to 9.5 percent – the lowest level since July 2009 – from 9.7 percent. But the reason for the decline was more than 650,000 people gave up on their job searches and left the labor force.

Airline says worker data compromised FORT WORTH, Texas – American Airlines parent company said Friday the personal information of about 79,000 retirees, former and current employees has been compromised after a hard drive was stolen from its Fort Worth headquarters. No customer data was affected. The data was held by the company’s pension department.
Interest rates steady after jobs report NEW YORK – Interest rates traded in a narrow range Friday in the bond market after investors received another report that job growth is tepid. The government said private employers added 83,000 jobs last month, which was below economists’ forecast for 112,000 jobs, but more than double the amount added in May. The unemployment rate dropped unexpectedly to 9.5 percent. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting it to rise to 9.8 percent.
Gas prices fall as July Fourth weekend begins The economy may be making people nervous, but drivers should have a happy Fourth of July at the pump. Gasoline prices have changed very little this week and, by some analyst estimates, may even fall a bit over the long holiday weekend. The good news for motorists is that even with more people expected on the roads, ample supplies and anemic demand likely will keep prices fairly stable and below $3 a gallon this summer.

People who are no longer looking for work aren’t counted as unemployed. The latest figures suggest businesses are still slow to hire amid a weak economic recovery. Many economists were hoping to see more private-sector job growth, which would fuel the economy by boosting consumers’ ability to spend. “It could have been worse, but it wasn’t good,” said Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight, an economic forecasting firm. “It’s adding to the evidence that growth has slowed.” In a separate report, factory orders fell by 1.4 percent in May, the Commerce Department said. It was the first decline after nine months of gains
and the biggest drop since March 2009. The reports follow a slew of data and developments this week that point to slower growth in the months ahead. In May, home sales plunged and construction spending dropped after a popular homebuyers’ tax credit expired on April 30. Consumer confidence has fallen sharply. The European debt crisis has sent U.S. financial markets downward, lowering household wealth, and more than a million jobless Americans have been cut off from unemployment benefits after Congress adjourned for its weeklong Independence Day recess without extending federal aid.
Toyota to recall 138,000 Lexus cars WASHINGTON (AP) – Toyota Motor Corp. said Friday it intends to recall 138,000 Lexus vehicles in the United States to fix faulty engines in the latest quality problem to afflict the world’s No. 1 automaker. The Japanese automaker said flaws in valve springs, a crucial engine component, could make the vehicle stall while in motion. Toyota confirmed in a statement it plans to file paperwork with the government on the recall next week. The recall affects certain GS, IS and LS vehicles from the 2006-2008 model years powered by 4.6 and 5.0 liter V8 engines and 3.5 liter V6 engines. No accidents or injuries have been reported. Vehicles from the 2009 and 2010 model years are not affected. Toyota had announced
in Japan that it would recall 270,000 Lexus vehicles around the world to address the engine stalling problems. The global recall affects seven luxury Lexus sedan models as well as the popular Crown sedan, sold primarily in Japan. Of the 270,000 recalled cars, some 180,000 were sold overseas, including the United States, and 90,000 in Japan. The company has received about 200 complaints in Japan but no accidents were reported there or abroad, said Toyota spokesman Hideaki Homma. Some drivers told Toyota that engines made a strange noise. The automaker was already scrambling to repair its reputation after 8.5 million vehicles were recalled beginning in October because of problems with sticking accelerator pedals and other issues.
Total SA denies BP takeover claim, criticizes sanctions AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France (AP) – The head of French oil giant Total SA said Friday that sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program are a mistake because they will hurt the civilian population. Speaking to reporters at the Rencontres Economiques conference in Aix-en-Provence, southern France, Christophe de Margerie also said Total is not studying a takeover of troubled BP Plc, although he might be interested
in some of their assets if they were put on sale. De Margerie said the French oil giant has suspended sales of gasoline to Iran after new sanctions were voted in the U.S., the United Nations and the European Union. But he said the stance is one of “realism” and not because he agrees with sanctions. “It’s an error to think that we can solve political problems by getting involved in areas which are civilian in nature,” he said.

NEW YORK (AP) – A disappointing jobs report sent stocks falling Friday and gave the Dow Jones industrial average its longest losing streak since the worst days of the financial crisis. The Dow dropped 46 points Friday for its seventh straight loss and its longest slide since October 2008. The Dow and other major indexes posted big losses for a second straight week. Investors found new reason to worry that the economic recovery is losing momentum after the government said private employers added only 83,000 jobs last month, fewer than the 112,000 analysts had forecast. Light trading ahead of the long Independence Day weekend brought choppy moves, particularly in the final hour. The Dow was essentially flat in the last five minutes before sliding just before the close. Investors are focused on business hiring because that makes up the bulk of the country’s work force. “The small businessman refuses to play here,” said Linda Duessel, equity market strategist at Federated Investors. “We’re going to need, as a market, something to make us believe that the double-dip scenario is wrong,” Duessel said, referring to the possibility of a second recession. “A soft patch is normal.”

Hilton appears in South African courtroom
Kelsey Grammer, wife, split LOS ANGELES – Kelsey Grammer and his wife are divorcing after nearly 13 years of marriage. Court records show Camille Grammer filed for divorce from the “Cheers� and “Frasier� star Thursday in Los Angeles. Grammer and his wife were married in August 1997 and have two children, ages 8 and 5.
ated Press reporter in court. The socialite was wearing an off-white Hilton sleeveless blouse. Her hair was in pigtails and she had heavy black eyeliner. Hilton was detained in Port Elizabeth earlier Friday for possession of
marijuana charges, two South African police officers said. The officers spoke on condition of anonymity, since they were not authorized to release Hilton’s name before she appeared in court. A spokeswoman for police at Port Elizabeth, Brig. Marinda Mills, declined to confirm the name, but said a high profile person did appear in court.

Mel Gibson, ex mum after closed session LOS ANGELES (AP) – Attorneys for Mel Gibson and his ex-girlfriend have concluded a closeddoor hearing with a judge handling their child custody case. Attorneys for the actor-director and Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva declined to comment on the case, which remains sealed. The
couple split in April. Gibson’s attorney, Stephen Kolodny, says the former couple entered into a confidential agreement a month later. A child custody case was filed in Los Angeles last month, but those records are sealed. Neither Gibson or Grigorieva, who have a 7-month-old daughter,
attended Thursday’s hearing. Kolodny has said Gibson has provided his exgirlfriend with substantial support.

Memorial service honors Sen. Byrd
Spy suspects admit using fake names
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – Craning their necks and clapping to Appalachian music, West Virginians bid farewell Friday to Robert C. Byrd, their beloved senator who rose from childhood poverty in a coal mining town to become the nation’s longest-serving member of Congress. President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton and other dignitaries watched as Byrd’s casket was carried down the red-carpeted steps of the state Capitol where he began his political career in 1947. Byrd, who died Monday at 92, never lost an election. Obama recalled an early discussion with Byrd, who as a young man joined the Ku Klux Klan. “He said there are some things I regretted in my youth,” Obama said. “I said, ’None of us are absent of some regrets. ...”

Jurors mull transit shooting case LOS ANGELES – Police in Oakland underwent crowdcontrol training and were put on 12-hour shifts as they awaited a verdict in the shooting death of an unarmed black man by a white former transit officer who claimed he mistakenly drew his gun instead of his Taser. A jury in Los Angeles ended its first day of deliberations Friday without reaching a verdict in the case.
Des Moines levee springs small leak DES MOINES, Iowa – A leak in a vulnerable levee protecting an Iowa neighborhood from a swollen Des Moines River was characterized Friday as “seepage” by the Army Corps of Engineers, but experts said the flood barrier remained stable as the river continued to rise. Officials spotted a crack late Thursday in the same part of the levee that gave way in 2008.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) – Two Virginia suspects in an alleged spy ring have admitted they are Russian citizens living in the U.S. under false identities, prosecutors said Friday, as officials in Cyprus said another defendant in the bust has likely fled the island after being set free on bail. The defendants known as Michael Zottoli and Patricia Mills told authorities after their arrest that their real names are Mikhail Kutzik and Natalia Pereverzeva, prosecutors said in a court filing Friday. The pair were arrested in Arlington, Va., where they have been living as a married couple with two young children. Zottoli and Mills, along with a third defendant, Mikhail Semenko, remained jailed after waiving their right Friday to a detention hearing during brief appearances in federal court. They are among 11 people arrested this week.
Gulf Coast expects gloomy 4th DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. (AP) – Fireworks displays have been canceled. White-sand beaches that should be crowded with sunbathers are instead dotted with cleanup workers, booms and sand-sifting equipment. Normally packed hotels are trying to fill rooms ahead of what is a crucial weekend for beach businesses. Across the oil-stained Gulf Coast, it’s going to be a glum Fourth of July. “We got hit right between the eyes in June. July is starting to look like a total disaster,” moaned hotel owner Julian MacQueen, who said his 181-room Hampton Inn in Pensacola Beach, Fla., should be booked solid but is only 70 per-
cent occupied, even with rooms reduced from $225 a night last year to as little as $150. And those who make their living from tourism have a longer-term fear: that the vacationers who find other destinations this year will never return. At Souvenir City in Gulf Shores, Ala., owner Paul Johnson said the number of customers walking through the giant shark’s-mouth entrance of his store to buy such things as T-shirts, flip-flops, hermit crabs, seashells and other beach kitsch is down by about half from last year. “People who have been coming here for 20 or 30 years and went to Destin or Myrtle Beach or
wherever may say, ‘Hey, we went there and really liked it. That’s our place now,”’ Johnson said, referring to spots in Florida and South Carolina.
BP: WORKERS CAN TALK TO MEDIA GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) – BP PLC says it’s handing out cards to all 40,000 of its cleanup workers telling them they can talk to the media – but only if they want to. The message on the small cards? “Feel Free to Talk.” The oil giant, stung by footage of coastal work crews dodging cameras and refusing to talk to reporters, started telling workers Friday it was OK to talk with reporters.

Steele: Afghan ‘war of Obama’s choosing’
GOP leader opposes Kagan
WASHINGTON (AP) – Republican chairman Michael Steele drew criticism from within his own party Friday, including calls to resign, after saying the 9-year-old commitment of U.S. troops to Afghanistan was a mistaken “war of Obama’s choosing.” As criticism swelled, Steele issued a statement stressing his sup-
port for U.S. troops, but he did not acknowledge his factual error about a war Steele launched by former President George W. Bush in response to the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. A senior official in Bush’s administration said it
would be impossible for the Republican National Committee to speak with credibility on foreign policy if Steele remained chairman. For Democrats, looking at a difficult environment ahead of November’s midterm elections, the gaffe was an opportunity to test their strategy of attacking the GOP with its members’ own words.
AP
WASHINGTON (AP) – Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan drew opposition Friday from Republican leader Mitch McConnell and two other GOP senators, raising the prospect of a confirmation largely along party lines. “The American people expect a justice who will impartially apply the law, not one who will be a rubber-
stamp for the Obama administration or any other administration,” McConnell McConnell said in a written statement one day after Kagan, 50, wrapped up three days of testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Thomas Jefferson made slip in Declaration WASHINGTON (AP) – Preservation scientists at the Library of Congress have discovered that Thomas Jefferson, even in the act of declaring independence from England, had trouble breaking free from monarchial rule. In an early draft of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson wrote the word “subjects,” when he referred to the American public. He then erased that word and replaced it with “citi-
zens,” a term he used frequently throughout the final draft. The Library released news of the struck word for the first time on Friday. Fenalla France, a research chemist at the Library, said her lab made the discovery last year by using hyperspectral imaging, using a high resolution digital camera that compiles a series of images to highlight layers of a document. Some of those invis-
ible layers – like erased text and even fingerprints – pop into view on a computer screen. In switching from “subjects” to “citizens,” France said it appears Jefferson used his hand to wipe the word out while the ink was still wet. A distinct brown smudge is apparent on the paper, although the word “subjects” is not legible without the help of the digital technology.
“This has been a very exciting development,” France said, calling the findings “spine-tingling.” Historic, handwritten documents reveal clues about the past that word processors cannot illuminate, said James Billington, librarian of Congress. “It shows the progress of his mind. This was a decisive moment,” Billington said. “We recovered a magic moment that was otherwise lost to history.”
LOCAL 2D www.hpe.com SATURDAY, JULY 3, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE
Fundraiser features ‘Blind Side’ adoptive dad men became concerned about the homeless children who roamed the streets. Often these ABOUT businessmen would TOWN care for the children Mary until a lovBogest ing home ■■■was found. Later, it expanded into the leading statewide organization and to date have placed over 14,000 children in loving homes. When I first arrived at the Koury Center, I spotted Eichhorn who was coordinating her High Point table hostesses. She with her husband Keith were a major sponsor for “A Place To Call Home� and made sure that High Pointers were welcomed. As we spoke of the day’s agenda, a pretty young lady approached. This is when I first met Dorsay’s daughter Brendle as she helped her mom with the arrangements of the busy day. As they talked I felt such a warm feeling of the closeness of their motherdaughter relationship. While they greeted the High Pointers, I preceded to the reception. As I spotted Tuohy, and was about to approach him, I glanced to see Dorsay and Brendle happily arrive, their hospitality mission accomplished. Then we heard the word – the social worker who placed baby Brendle in Dorsay’s arms for the very first time was here and wanted to meet Brendle. (Do you have goose bumps yet!) Wow! I must tell you: I was awestruck and I have the photo of the three of them to show you! Sandy Cook, now executive vice president of CHS of NC told me. “I had the privilege to be there that day. I have been blessed to be part of the Children’s Home Society, working both with the birth parents and the adoptive parents. To see Brendle and Dorsay together today reaffirms how great adoption can be,� Dorsay also became the mother to her son and Brendle became the sister of Jady Howard, who was also adopted through the Children’s Home Society.

Meanwhile, patrons entered the Koury Center ballroom. Carolina Panther kicker John Kasay was the honorary host for the event. Kasay and his wife have four children, three were adopted through the Children’s Home Society. “This is a life-changing cause,� Kasay began. “We have walked in the shoes of adoptive parents. Laughter is one of the most cherished sounds in our house. My children are more of a blessing to me than I am to them,� he added. Ken Tutterow, president and CEO for the Children’s Home Society of NC, spoke of “Our Vision for Children� as table hosts throughout the filled banquet room stood and showed placards with the name and age of a child who needs a loving, permanent home. On any given day, there are over 3,000 children awaiting adoption in North Carolina alone. Tutterow said that he knows there are loving homes for these children – somewhere. “Children should have family memo-
ries of picnics, of love. Many of the children we serve have no childhood memories. Their childhood memories include trauma, abuse and neglect. They remember going from foster home to foster home. What you can’t see is their emotional and special needs. We know given the resources we can find families for these children. We cannot forget our children.� There is an estimated cost of $15,000 per child to recruit families and take them through the entire process. This whole process is conducted with diligence and dedication – finding a permanent loving home is not something to take lightly. To use the now-cliche and often-adapted catch phrase: to provide a child with a happy and memorable childhood – priceless! The cost of not succeeding is much higher! Sean Tuohy and his wife gave that “priceless� to Michael Oher. When he was alone as a teenager without a loving family, homeless and walking the streets of Memphis, he was with-

t was a very touching moment for me when I saw them embrace. It was the memory of an important day that changed lives forever in a deep, emotional and magnificent way. It was the day about 28 years ago when the social worker for The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Society cradled the beautiful tiny baby girl wrapped in a blanket in her arms. The infantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new mother gazed lovingly at her child before reaching out to cradle the newborn to love as her own. It is a day that Dorsay Eichhorn will never forget. It was the day that Eichhorn first met and held her new daughter, Brendle Howard. The occasion of this memorable reunion was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Place To Call Homeâ&#x20AC;? Fundraising Luncheon for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Society of North Carolina with featured speaker Sean Tuohy, the adoptive father of Baltimore Ravens star Michael Oher, known to most through the hit movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blind Side.â&#x20AC;? Since adopting the homeless teenager, the Tuohys passion and advocacy for children needing loving permanent families has become renown with help from his celebrity. Undoubtedly, he may have been one of the reasons that the venue for this fundraiser had to be moved several times to accommodate the ever growing attendance which neared 1,000! A private reception held before the luncheon to meet famed adoptive father Tuohy, who grew up hungry in the projects of New Orleans before achieving status and success as a basketball player in the NBA. In addition to broadcasting the NBA Memphis Grizzlies games and owning and operating over 80 Taco Bell, KFC and Long John Silver franchises (hungry in the projects? Not now!), he is passionate about spreading the inspiration of adopting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reflecting the mirror image of the mission of the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Society. That is that every child has the right to a permanent, safe and loving home!

Don’t play ‘whisper ...’ with contractor BY MORRIS & JAMES CAREY ON THE HOUSE
CONSUMER DOS AND DON’TS
---
T
here’s an old party game – maybe you’ve played – it’s called “whisper down the lane.” The first player writes down a phrase and then whispers it into someone’s ear. That person in turn whispers it to someone else. And so on. The fun begins when the last person in line attempts to repeat the original statement aloud. This same exact kind of party game miscommunication can present itself when you deal with a contractor. “That’s not the sink I wanted,” you might say to the contractor. “My old sink was made of cast iron. The one you put in is stamped out of tin.” The fact that the wrong sink was installed raises the question of what kind of sink was agreed upon initially. Details that aren’t written down have a way of getting confused, forgotten or misunderstood later. Contractors and consumers alike don’t spend enough time planning and detailing an agreement. If we as consumers don’t demand detail, we won’t get it. When hiring a contractor you need to insist on the following: • A detailed set of plans (for jobs more than a couple of thousand dollars). • A clear set of written specifications. • A detailed estimate. Don’t enter into a contract with a contractor without all three. A detailed set of plans is essential and should: • Be drawn to a specified scale (usually one-quarter or one-half inch equaling one foot). • Include written dimensions. • Show – Everything that exists. Everything that’s being removed. What’s going to be added • A legend that defines symbols • A legend that defines abbreviations Written specifications are separate from the plans and are used to provide written details that are too complex and wordy to be included on the plans. For example: The plans might show a plug in the wall. Here, the specifications would be used to indicate the plug type (square decorator style, for example) and
Hiring a contractor? Making a major purchase? Here are a few “dos” and “don’ts.” • Do use local businesses; transients often disappear. • Don’t take the first bid; shop and compare price, terms and hidden extras. • Do read all fine print on contracts; ask about anything unclear. • Don’t sign a contract with blank spaces. • Do save all contracts, receipts, cancelled checks and warranties. • Don’t pay cash; write checks to the company, not the salesperson. • Do check with the Better Business Bureau and city and state licensing boards. • Ask about insurance. • Don’t accept oral promises; get everything in writing. • Do remember that the “cooling-off” rule lets you cancel most contracts within three days; don’t be pressured into hasty decisions. If a terrific offer expires in 24 hours, let it. “Business” is a tricky business and you have to be careful when doing it. Always take two trusted friends with you when you shop – caution and common sense. the color (white, beige, brown, etc.) The plans might show the door and the door knob type, and the specifications would note the type and number of hinges and the exact brand, model and finish of the knob. Sometimes the specifications are found within the plan sheets and sometimes they are completely separate. More often than not specifications are included in the plan sheets and separately as well. If your project is a large one, expect a book of specifications in addition to the plans. A detailed estimate is as important as the details in the plans. Hiring a contractor who provides this bid – XYZ Co. will perform all the work in the plans
for $18,750 – could be a mistake. In this kind of bid, there is no feedback from the contractor as to “exactly” what work will be performed. Accepting a one sentence bid leaves you open to expensive change orders later. “This part of the plans isn’t clear lady,” the contractor might say as he hands you a $700 change order. The experts say that feedback is the key to successful communication. Ensure that the contractor’s bid is thoroughly detailed. This gives you two sets of details to compare. The ones the architect or designer provided and the contractor’s written response. A contractor’s bid becomes even more important when no plans exist. Here are a couple of examples: An example of a bad bid: XYZ Co. will replace 2 doors and hardware for $825. An example of a good bid: ABC Co. will replace 2 doors and hardware for the following price: • Doors to be Jones Brand 2345 in Red Oak (see photo attached). • Door price includes new door frames and trim to match existing. • Hardware to be Smith Brand 2678 in polished brass finish (see photo attached). • Placement of hardware and hinges to match other doors in house. • Doors, frames and trim to be finished with three coat clear polyurethane finish with sanding between each coat. • ABC Co. will clean and remove all debris created by its work. A written, detailed price breakdown totaling $1,100 is provided. In our opinion, the second contractor is the right choice even though his price is higher. Why? Because we know he’s done his homework. In our experience, more often than not, the quality of the job is commensurate with the quality of the bid. Choosing the less expensive contractor in these examples would be building suicide.
