Davidson commissioners want input on incentives for new business BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Board of Commissioners last week scheduled a public hearing on an economic development incentives grant for a new company that may invest $2 million in plant
The public hearing for a company code-named Project M is set for Aug. 10. machinery and equipment and create more than 15 jobs. During the board’s informational meeting Thursday, Steve Googe, executive director of the Davidson County Economic Development Commission, asked commissioners to set the public hearing for a company code-named Project M for Aug. 10. “We would submit to you that the project would stimulate the economy, increase the county tax base by more than $2 million, thus increasing tax revenues,” Googe said. “The proposed project would result in the creation of new jobs that
would be available for the citizens of Davidson County over the term of the contract.” Googe suggested commissioners consider a grant that would be .0027 times the company’s investment in real property each year for five years. A second grant of .0054 times the company’s investment in plant and machinery is also recommended to attract the company. “The total of the two grants would not exceed $6,000 per year for the term of the contract,” Googe said. “The grants would be funded through the county’s economic development fund or general fund.” Googe said the company is a manufacturing business. He would not comment on where in Davidson County the company is considering on locating. “Once we get this approved, based on my conversations with the principals, they would be moving forward very rapidly,” Googe said. The salaries of the 15 jobs would be more than the county average, according to Googe. “It’s 15 jobs,” Sam Watford, the board’s vice chairman, said. “Any investment is good. Anybody investing in machinery and equipment is a positive.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Tour shows housing successes, challenges LEAD REMOVAL
–
The Healthy Homes and Affordable Housing Tour got an update on the city’s lead-based paint remediation project. Community Development & Housing officials said about $890,000 of a $3 million federal grant has been spent to eliminate or control lead hazards in 100 housing units as of last week. The grant targets homes occupied by families with children younger than 6. High Point has around 23,000 dwelling units built before 1978, when lead-based paint was outlawed. City officials said they also try to get property owners to resolve any minimum housing code issues at sites they remediate.

HIGH POINT – The city has plenty to be proud of but ample challenges remaining. That was the picture that emerged from a bus tour of affordable housing in High Point last week. The outing was spearheaded by the High Point Housing Coalition, a group that advocates for safe, adequate and affordable housing for the community. City officials, representatives of nonprofits that deal with issues related to homelessness and housing, as well as local residents, joined the tour. One of the first areas visited was Macedonia, once one of the city’s most troubled neighborhoods. The bus rode past well-kept homes built within the past several years, Macedonia Park and other signs of the city’s work in revitalizing the area. “Some who remember what Macedonia used to look like wouldn’t recognize it now,” said Mike McNair, director of High
Point’s Community Development & Housing Department. “There’s still challenges over there, but the scales are tipping. Between the (City Project initiative), and some of the infill development going on over there, the good is starting to outweigh the bad.” SHARE of North Carolina Inc. Executive Director Bill Waller said his Greensboro-based nonprofit has built 30 homes and renovated an additional 25 in Macedonia. “It’s become a wonderful, healthy, safe place to raise families,” Waller said. “We’re now working with the city in West End, East Central and some other areas. There are a lot of options for (prospective home buyers).” The area stood in contrast to boarded up, abandoned and deteriorated houses in disrepair in the 300 block of Park Street, one of the target areas for city code enforcement inspectors. Katherine Bossi, codes enforcement supervisor, explained that orders to repair or demolish had been issued for some of the houses, giving property owners
a deadline for bringing the houses up to code. Bossi said this has been a busy spring and summer for public nuisance enforcement, with about 1,200 notices for overgrown lots sent to property owners so far this year. Other neighborhoods visited included Southside, where 11 new homes are being built on Vail Avenue. The city allocated $132,000 in federal funds to purchase some of the home sites and for use as downpayment assistance for buyers of the houses. High Point Housing Authority officials also went on the tour and showcased some of its projects, one of which – Clara Cox Homes – still is in the planning phase. The authority has been delayed in starting construction on the proposed mixed-income community as it has struggled to line up financing for the project, but Wayman Williams of the authority said, “We’re getting ready to start construction real soon here.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

offenders, and catching them early after arrest can prevent crime. This proposal will save lives, prevent violent crime by repeat offenders, solve cold cases and exonerate those wrongly accused of a crime.” Locally, DNA has played a role in solving cold cases involving repeat offenders. In 2008, a High Point man pleaded guilty to first-degree rape and other charges after a state database with DNA profiles of convicted felons turned up a hit from an attack that occurred at a Charles Avenue home 11 years earlier. John Lee Griffin Jr. had been in prison since 1998 for an unrelated armed robbery and assault when the SBI lab matched his DNA with evidence from the 1997 crime scene. He was sentenced to at least 28 years in prison. The ACLU of North Carolina has protested the proposal on the grounds that it would infringe upon individuals’ constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. “As far as privacy issues with it that people
Community throws support behind Marine who lost home MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
JACKSONVILLE – It was a dream-turned-nightmare: Two years ago, Sgt. Matthew Hinrichs, a Marine with 2nd Intelligence Battalion, purchased a first home for his family on Rocky Run Road in Jacksonville. Soon after returning from a deployment to Iraq in May 2008, he realized he’d bought more than he bargained for. While working on a piece of siding, Hinrichs found mold – lots of it – rotting the house from the inside out. Over the summer, Hinrichs’ new home literally crumbled as rotted foundations rapidly caved in. Worse, it was a health hazard for his wife and young son. “Our house was heavily contaminated by different kinds of outdoor molds,” he said. “It was growing on our clothes, our food, our furniture, everything.” Coworkers and community members worked to help him out: Several Marines from his unit
helped him put together a submission video for the TV show Extreme Home Makeover, and he became a finalist for the show, though his home was ultimately passed over. A local company, PHH Bank, paid to have his home demolished and the rubbish carried away in late 2009. But in the meantime, Hinrichs’ family was forced to move away and he returned to live in the barracks aboard Lejeune, going into debt to make mortgage payments on a house that no longer existed. For awhile, the situation seemed grim. But then two local real estate agents stepped in to restore his faith in the real estate business and the community. Earlier this year, Keller Williams Realty agents Jaime Dorn and Rhonda Reid viewed Hinrichs’ online submission video, which had circulated among area agents. They immediately tried to contact him, they said, calling his family members and e-mailing coworkers before reaching him. Their plan: to reunite Hinrichs
with his family by helping him rent a home in the area and to raise enough funds to build a brand-new home where the old one once stood. Reid and Dorn said the idea sprang from the company’s culture of community involvement, which takes a “red day” each year to close down its offices and have employees participate in area service projects. “What better than to take someone who has lost their faith in the real estate industry and give it back to them?” Reid asked. “To show that we do care.” The agents have already made progress toward their goal. Dorn found a former client in Beulaville who agreed to rent his home to Hinrichs without concern for his credit, which had been damaged in the home fiasco. And they contacted builders and architects, who are drawing up plans and are expected to have cost estimates ready later this week. Other businesses and community members have already pledged their support, they said, and they expect to organize a fundraising event in coming months.

often bring up, I understand those are legitimate concerns,” said Fealy. “I think law enforcement agencies collecting DNA samples purely for identification purposes, that is a pretty transparent system. It’s unobtrusive and it’s frankly no different than rolling a fingerprint.” Advocates also argue the initiative will provide evidence that prevents the innocent from wrongful convictions. Fealy recalled a case in Austin, Texas when he was an assistant chief in that city in which two people served about 12 years in prison in connection with a homicide. “They did not commit that crime and DNA was the only thing that allowed us to have the idea that we had the wrong people in jail,” he said. “It caused that reinvestigation and the results were we got two innocent people out of jail. Using DNA technology could help avoid that in the future. It could certainly reduce the instances of that potentially occurring.”

Republicans deny jobless the benefits they need Let’s see, Congress says no extension of unemployment benefits despite widespread agreement these payments to the unemployed are critical to the recovery of the economy. If the unemployed can’t afford to buy things that hits the economy hard. The original Democratic legislation, which when six Republicans in the Senate voted for it, added $100 billion to the deficit over 10 years. That’s $10 billion a year for helping Americans who are out of work. For comparison the Department of Defense budget is $530 billion a year. Then through negotiations between Democrats and Republicans that $100 billion deficit dropped to $33 billion as most of the rest was covered by new taxes on investment fund managers (you remember them; those guys who made millions of dollars a year) and multi-national corporations that do business overseas. Still, this wasn’t enough to get any Republican votes as all of them voted no. So, apparently Republicans want to support investment bankers and corporations (by not taxing them) more than they want to help Americans who are out of work. They cynically believe that these Americans don’t vote in high numbers, and of course, Republicans get large contributions from the wealthy and from corporations. So, opportunism and winning elections takes priority over principled action. It’s always the same with Republican politicians; help corporations and the wealthy and to heck with the middle-class working man. Good luck with that in November. GARY PARKER Archdale

The land is ours to protect, pass to future generations BY JAMES BRIGHAM
I have a complaint about the city of High Point. This concerns the green recycling containers that we put out on trash day. I want to know why the city hasn’t picked it up in three weeks. The person who made this decision should be fired. I have called and they told me that collection of recyclables now is every two weeks. OK, so on the 16th there was no pickup, which is the day I called and they said next week was my week.

his land is our land. Long before this nation became a republic, the land was ours. The blood of a million ancestors has permanently stained the ground in sugar cane and cotton fields across the south, at Bunker Hill and Guilford Courthouse, at Gettysburg and Appomattox, at Wounded Knee, at Wilmington and at Kent State. The list is endless. Familiar are the locations where the battles
were fought; forgotten are the families whose warrior would never return. Forgotten are the aborigines cheated and exterminated. Forgotten is our shared history of slavery. Twenty-five generations of suffering and loss on bloody battlefields and home fronts are what make this our land. Our blood is the ink on this land’s deed of trust. We inherited that deed unknowingly, most just by birth, whether rich or poor, black or white, red or yellow, it is ours now. It is ours to preserve and protect, to make more perfect. We do this by constantly testing our Constitution and codified laws. We do this in simple ways, by not littering, through community recycling, providing good schools and a clean environment. We pay taxes to run governments that assure all is done in fair and equitable ways. When someone violates our laws and rules, they violate that trust. They share in our inheritance but shirk in their responsibilities. Whether you litter the streets, pollute the waters or create financial products that ruin our economy, you violated that deed.
It was always “We the People” that kept that deed. It was never the corporations or LLCs, and it will never be. When everything goes wrong, it’s left to us, you and me, to fix it. It’s left to us to suffer, it is our blood left on the battlefields, it is our work that will bail out the banks. A corporation is only a legal agreement on paper. When everything goes wrong, the corporations use their invisible hand to shield them from all responsibility. That hand will never touch the face of a child, as you try to explain what happened to daddy over there. That hand will never drip of blood while defending this land. We regulate that hand, and rightly so. Corporations have no human emotion. Their births and deaths are legal instruments filed at a courthouse. They are run by us but should have no say in governing us, though they try and at times succeed. They accomplish this by buying our senators and representatives with campaign contributions and bribes. A recent example is the health insurance industry filling political coffers and spreading lies and misinformation, creating deep schisms among the people. Will this battle for reform be added to that endless list, or be lost to that forgotten history? Those corporations with the elected officials who took those bribes, violated that deed of trust, should be reckoned with.

The friendly skies are where freedom dies
O
n the face of it, they’d seem to have little in common. One is a disabled former Marine, born in Miami and living in Egypt. Another is a 28-year-old student from Corona, Calif., a German citizen and permanent resident of the United States. Another is a refugee from Guinea who works as a caregiver for a family in New York. Another is an Air Force veteran and retired fireman, originally from Las Cruces, N.M. There are 10 of them in all, 10 individuals from 10 walks of life who it turns out do have something in common not only with one another, but also with several toddlers, nuns and the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. Namely, they’ve all been refused permission to board planes bound for, or traveling within, the United States, because their names showed up on a terrorist “no-fly” list. As of last week, the 10 have something else in common. They are plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed by the ACLU against Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI Director Robert Mueller and Timothy Healy, director of the Terrorist
Screening Center. The ACLU is seeking an injunction on behalf of individuals who, as the suit puts it, “the government deems too dangerous to OPINION fly, but too harmless to arrest.” Leonard It’s more than Pitts a clever turn of ■■■ phrase. It is also an apt description of the legal limbo to which the government has consigned an untold number of innocent people in the name of fighting terror. Here’s how it is when your name is on the no-fly list: They won’t let you fly. They won’t tell you why. They won’t show you the list. They won’t take your name off the list. They won’t give you any way to appeal. The list, then, is a purgatory to which one can be consigned in perpetuity with neither due process nor judicial review, because one’s name happened to be similar to that of some bad person. And there is no form you fill
out or person you can talk to to have the error corrected. You’ve simply got to live with it. Of all the insults to personal liberty imposed by George W. Bush’s War on Civil Rights, this is in some ways the most profound. And it is fitting, as we mark the 234th anniversary of American freedom, that the ACLU lawsuit forces us to ponder a fundamental question: What sort of freedom is this? It calls to mind a poignant scene from history. When the Civil War ended 145 years ago and slaves were told they were free, many struggled to define the word. In candlelit meetings in barns and bogs, they debated it. What does freedom mean? How do you know you are free? And many decided that if freedom meant anything, it meant they could move around without permission or pass. So they tested it. They walked away. They walked across towns, across states, across country. That was, they decided, the fundamental definition of freedom: It meant that you could go. The stakes in the ACLU lawsuit, then, are higher than just an

annoyance or an inconvenience. The suit is also about, perhaps mostly about, the abrogation of an inalienable and indispensable right – the right to go – from people who have been accused of no crime. No one disputes the need for tight airline security. If there are certain individuals who should not fly because the government reasonably believes their associations or activities suggest a threat to a jetliner, so be it. Those are sensible precautions. But the federal no-fly list is an overly broad “caricature” of sensible precautions. It is hard to imagine anything more un-American than the idea one could wind up on a secret watch list with no explanation or recourse in the event of mistaken identity. What kind of freedom is that? It’s simple, really. That’s not freedom at all. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail him at lpitts@miamiherald.com.

The Green Zone is the sprawling protected area in the heart of Baghdad that is home to the U.S. Embassy as well as the Iraqi parliament and prime minister’s office. There were no reported casualties, said the officials, who did not want to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to reporters. Mortars and rockets are periodically fired into the Green Zone but rarely result in casualties or damage.

Exit polls showed Komorowski with a slight edge over Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who essentially conceded defeat in the presidential run-off by declaring before supporters, “I congratulate the winner.� A poll released Sunday by the TNS OBOP institute predicted Komorowski winning 53.1 percent of the vote, and Kaczynski winning 46.9 percent. A separate poll, by Millward Brown SMG/KRC, shows Komorowski with nearly 52 percent and Kaczynski with just over 48 percent. The exit polls have a small margin of error, and official results are not expected until today. Komorowski, who wants to smooth the way for the govern-

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – “We are in this to win,� Gen. David Petraeus said Sunday as he took the reins of an Afghan war effort troubled by waning support, an emboldened enemy, government corruption and a looming commitment to Petraeus withdraw troops even with no sign of violence easing. Petraeus, who pioneered the counterinsurgency strategy he now oversees in Afghanistan, has just months to show progress in turning back insurgents and convince both the Afghan people and neighboring countries that the U.S. is committed to preventing the country from again becoming a haven for al-Qaida and its terrorist allies. “We are engaged in a contest of wills,� Petraeus said as he accepted the command of U.S. and NATO forces before several hundred U.S., coalition and Afghan officials who gathered on a grassy area outside NATO headquarters in Kabul. Petraeus, widely credited with turning around the U.S. war effort in Iraq, said the Taliban and their allies are killing and maiming civilians.
The Progress cargo ship was to have docked with the space station on Friday, but failed. Russian controllers said the failure was due to the activation of a transmitter for the manual rendezvous system, which overrode the automated system.

Salt Lake City won’t boycott Arizona SALT LAKE CITY – The Salt Lake City Council has decided not to boycott Arizona businesses over the state’s toughest-in-the-nation immigration law. Salt Lake City does about $21 million in business with Arizona firms each year and was urged to join a growing boycott of the state by the Los Angeles City Council. Salt Lake City Council members say they’re worried a boycott could have unintended consequences. Arizona’s new law generally requires officers enforcing another law – like speeding – to question a person’s immigration status if there’s a reasonable suspicion that the person is in the country illegally.

HIGH POINT – For clients of the Guilford County Homeownership Center’s Individual Development Account program, the goal isn’t simply to find housing. Getting one’s financial house in order is the first step toward becoming a homeowner, according to Sofia Crisp, executive director of the center, a nonprofit that helps first-time home buyers build their finances and find funding sources. “What we’re hoping to establish is a change in behavior and the establishment of a habit of savings,” Crisp said. She and others have sought to drive home their message in recent weeks. During National Homeownership Month in June, Crisp teamed up with High Point’s Community Development & Housing Department to highlight several issues, from firsttime homebuyer education to how to avoid predatory lending. Some of the center’s work was on display this week during a tour of affordable housing in the city by the High Point Housing Coalition. The center has helped several purchasers of Habitat for Humanity houses on Graves Avenue near Washington Terrace Park. Those who took part in the tour got a look at a Habitat house under construction, one of a cluster of new homes that is helping revitalize the area. The IDA program walks participants through the particulars of buying a home and stresses principles like maintaining a budget and developing savings. They also try to help clients tap into financing, such as downpayment assistance programs and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developmentbacked mortgage programs. “They’re really looking for help in terms of credit and money,” Crisp said. “One of the biggest bonuses is we start out by letting them know the value of saving money, because part of the requirement is that they save money and have proof that they save money when we meet with them once each month.” Those who complete the IDA program almost never lose their homes to foreclosure. The rate is less than 3 percent, Crisp said, adding that Guilford County is still third in the state in total foreclosures among counties. “Whereas initially, we saw a lot of bad loans, what we see now is a lot of foreclosures due to job loss, and that’s very difficult to cure,” she said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

In addition to being town clerk, Genie Russell is the interim town manager of Denton.
Town uses teamwork Denton’s town clerk, mayor divy up managing duties BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
DENTON – The Denton Board of Commissioners has no immediate plans to hire a town manager after its top official resigned earlier this year. Mayor Scott Morris said he and Town Clerk Genie Russell, who was named interim manager after F.E. Isenhour resigned, have been sharing the duties of manager since February. Morris declined to comment on the specifics of Isenhour’s resignation, but said the board decided to go in a different direction. “The board had some different ideas than F.E. had,” the mayor said. “He just felt like that he should resign. He worked for about 30 or 45 days after he resigned. There weren’t any hard feelings. It was more less different opinions of how the town should proceed.”
Isenhour, a Landis resident, could not be reached for comment. “I’ve had to step up and do some more activities without the manager there, but she is the acting manager,” Morris said about Russell. “She and I both share responsibilities now. I’m more in line with the day-to-day activities of the public works department as far as the water and sewer lines and things like that. She handles more of the paper work with the state and engineers. We are getting by pretty good.” When approached about the interim position, Russell said she told commissioners she should would do anything to help the town of Denton and its residents. Russell, a Denton native, has been with the town of Denton for more 181⁄2 years. She has received her Certified Municipal Clerk designation and has completed
the qualifications for Master Municipal Clerk by attending the North Carolina School of Government and Davidson County Community College. As interim manager, she is the town clerk, finance officer and zoning officer. With the promotion to the interim position, Russell got a $5,200 annual increase, bumping her salary up to $44,000. Isenhour’s salary was $52,000. Morris said by not funding the salary for the full-time manager, the town was able to give a 2.5 percent raise to employees. “We are going to stick with this plan right now,” Morris said. “It could change or whatever the board decides, but right now Genie is doing an excellent job for us. With the way the economy is, it’s a good time for us to scale back a little bit.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

FUQUAY-VARINA (AP) – In 1910, Isadora Stephenson got the notion for a family reunion – a Fourth of July ritual where folks could forget the daily toil of tobacco fields and just toss horseshoes, sing church songs, cook pigs on the lawn and run wild under the black walnut trees. On that day, nothing mattered but barbecue, pie and kin. If you weren’t playing checkers on an overturned barrel, or listening to Uncle Paul play the fiddle, then you gossiped about who married whom, and who would bring a baby boy to next year’s reunion. The idea never got old. Sunday marks the 100thanniversary reunion around the sturdy heartpine homestead in Need-
more, where family expect 200 of Oscar and Isadora Stephenson’s offspring to fly in from Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, California and Connecticut. The News & Observer of Raleigh reports it took six committee meetings, two conference calls and a Facebook page to round up three generations of family scattered across the country. But it never takes much coaxing to lure them back. “You wonder what makes people come the distance,” said Steve Roundy, Isadora and Oscar’s great-grandson in Atlanta. “We’ve mused about this. Our parents loved it so much you kind of inherit the love of this thing. You just see yourself in it.” In an era where families

reunite on whitewater rafting trips or for three-day weekends in exotic hotels, the Needmore reunion remains as constant as the planting moon. Food is catered this year (nobody feels up to cooking for 200 people), but otherwise, you’re talking about a big picnic, not too far removed from 1910. For four generations of offspring, the house in Needmore stood as their only physical link, a place that satisfies the universal longing for home. “I went off to college and never came back without a suitcase,” said Nancy Stephenson Young, 72, who flew in from Texas. “I’ve got 16 in my immediate family, and they’re in Florida, Connecticut and Tennessee. This is our gathering place.”
attempt by the German police. A German policeman and five Palestinian gunmen also were killed. The Munich attack shocked the world as the most high-profile and brazen assault on a sports team, and later led to a wave of assassinations of top Palestinian officials. Oudeh was a leader of “Black September,” an offshoot of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s Fatah group that was established to avenge the 1970 expulsion of Palestinian guerrillas from Jordan. In a 2006 interview with The AP, Oudeh said the Munich events were a turning

point for Palestinians and rejected the term “terrorists” to describe Palestinian fighters. “Before Munich, we were simply terrorists. After Munich, at least people started asking who are these terrorists? What do they want,” he said. “Before Munich, nobody had the slightest idea about Palestine.” Oudeh said he had no qualms about the operation because he considered the Israeli athletes, as military reservists, legitimate targets. But he claimed the intent was not to kill the Israelis – rather, to use them as bargaining chips to free more than 200 Palestinians jailed in Israel.

Reform package, incentives are legislature’s focal point
Blaze destroys church MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
SHOALS – An early morning blaze left a congregation without a building for Sunday’s worship service. Shoals United Methodist Church caught fire in a classrooms and office area in the back of the building before it spread to the sanctuary, eventually engulfing the entire building by the time firefighters arrived on the scene. Shoals Volunteer Fire Department responded at 2:23 a.m. Saturday and spent more than two hours trying to contain the blaze in order to prevent it from spreading to a neighboring house. “Around 2:30 this (Saturday) morning it caught on fire and this is what’s left,� said Adrian Wall, chief of the Shoals VFD, gesturing to the ruins of the structure. “It started over in the classroom and office area and spread quickly from back to front. When I got the truck here, it was burning everywhere but the porch.� Juanita Moser, who lives across the street from the church, called in the blaze. She had gotten up to go to the bathroom and noticed it was bright outside her window. Upon closer investigation, she saw that the end of the church was on fire. “It’s just hard to look there and believe what has gone on,� she said Saturday morning. “It’s a lot of memories. We can build a building, but the memories we have there will never be in another church.�
RALEIGH (AP) – Democrats proud to have passed the North Carolina state budget on schedule for the first time since 2003 will have to keep a pretty short to-do list if they are to hold their shortest even-numbered year session since 1996, too. The longer the General Assembly lingers before gaveling out the budget-adjustment session, the list can grow as rank-and-file legislators try to argue their pet piece of legislation is indispensable. “It’s better to get out quick, rather than let all the bad stuff come out of committee,� said Rep. Bill Owens, D-Pasquotank, the House Rules Committee chairman. Heading into what could be the final week of the session, legislative leaders hope to gather their focus largely upon passing a broad ethics, campaign fundraising and government reform package, fol-

lowed by an economic incentives bill. “When you shake it all down, front and center is the ethics bill. That’s what we’ve got to do,� said Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe. The investigation into activities surrounding former Gov. Mike Easley and his campaign has entered a second year, and calls to stop “pay-to-play� politics are mounting. Given that, Democrats and Republicans alike can’t afford to be seen as doing nothing on the issue, especially during an election year. Gov. Beverly Perdue also has offered her own ethics package. “I actually think that you can’t go home without that,� Perdue told reporters at the budget’s bill signing last week. The House and Senate have competing packages that now appear to have bipartisan support.

Photos of grandma’s house picture-perfect memories ear Abby: After Grandma passed away at the age of 101, the thought of dismantling her home and dispersing her belongings was heartbreaking because her house had remained unchanged for so many years. I knew we couldn’t keep everything, but never seeing her house again was too much to bear. I asked my cousin to take photos of every room, every hallway, every closet and every view inside and out, so I could make an album of “Grandma’s House.� Now I have an album of photographs that makes me feel like I’m standing in the middle of it again. My cousin even photographed the auction in which we sold the things none of the family wanted or couldn’t fit in their homes. With all these reality TV programs that deal with hoarding and clutter, I wanted to share this idea as a healthy alternative to keeping “things� in place of memories. Looking at my photo album is even better than having the actual items, because everything is in the setting I remember. What I’m trying to convey is – sometimes you really can’t take it with you, and a picture is the next best thing. – Julie in Bradenton, Fla.

ne of the fastest-growing populations in the United States is the 65 and older group. Researchers estimate the senior population will exceed 70 million by 2030. According to the United States Fire Administration, fire deaths for people over 65 is twice as high as the national average. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three times the national averFIREHOUSE age for CHAT people between Lee ages Knight 75 and â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; 85 and increases to four times for people over 85. The statistics are alarming, but there are steps to take to increase chances of survival. The most important step is to make sure smoke detectors work. Approximately 75 percent of the 1,300 seniors who die each year in fires didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have working smoke detectors. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dangerous to assume that heat or smoke will wake you when a few breaths of smoke can be deadly. Install smoke detectors on every level of the home and outside all sleeping areas. If you keep bedroom doors closed, have smoke detectors in each room. Test detectors monthly, and change batteries every six months. Detectors with alarms and strobe lights are available for the hearing and visually impaired. Change unsafe smoking habits. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths in people over 65, which means, never smoke in bed. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave smoking materials unattended and switch to large deep ashtrays that are safer. Soak ashes with water before discarding to avoid setting trash cans on fire. Make sure heating systems are in good working order. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t store flammable materials close to a furnace or hot water heater. Space heaters are especially dangerous. Keep flammable materials at least 3 feet from the heater. Have an escape plan in place. Take into account any disabilities when designing the plan. Can you exit through windows? Are doorways wide enough for wheelchairs? A fire escape plan must be practiced in advance to be effective. The first use of an escape plan should not be when the house is burning. Fire safety should be a priority for everyone, especially seniors. Increasing knowledge and practicing fire safety will increase the chances of living a long life. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

Some allergies can kill D
ear Dr. Donohue: My friend from grade school just died of an allergy. Is that possible? I know allergies make you feel miserable, but I never knew they killed. We had been best friends forever. She was my age, 32. That’s another thing I don’t understand. How could a healthy young woman die all of a sudden? Please explain this to me. – R.C.
BLONDIE
Your friend died from anaphylactic (ANN-uhfuh-LACK-tick) shock, an extreme allergic reaction. It can happen to people of any age. Insect stings, foods (peanuts, seafood and others), medicines (especially injected medicines) and even exercise are some of the things that are implicated in these serious but rare reactions. Signs that a catastrophe is about to occur are the sudden appearance of hives, wheezing and gasping for air, doubling over with stomach pain and a dramatic drop in blood pressure. The “shock” of “anaphylactic shock” indicates that systolic blood pressure (the first blood pressure number) is less than 90. The reaction causes airways to constrict, the heart to pump ineffectively and blood vessels to dilate, which, in turn, leads to the drop in blood pressure. If you ever witness such a calamity, immediately call 911. Then ease the person into a lying

position with feet elevated to help return blood to the circulation and raise blood HEALTH pressure. The Dr. Paul ultimate Donohue treatment ■■■ is an injection of epinephrine (adrenaline). It quickly boosts blood pressure, opens up the narrowed airways and gets the heart pumping strongly. Oxygen is another important treatment. Most people can be treated successfully if they’re taken to a hospital quickly. About 2 percent of those stricken with anaphylaxis die. The yearly total of such deaths in the United States lies somewhere between 500 and 1,000. I don’t know if your friend had an allergy that she knew about or if she had had a past reaction that wasn’t so severe and wasn’t recognized as an allergy. Dear Dr. Donohue: Obesity in children is a national concern. But what about other eating problems? I am a grandmother who is concerned about her 6-year-old granddaughter’s eating habits. For breakfast, she might have a doughnut or some dry, sugary cereal. For lunch, she carries grapes, carrots, peanut butter and crackers, and cookies. For dinner,
she eats macaroni and cheese, chicken tenders, pizza or Spaghetti-Os. She eats apples or corn occasionally. She drinks water, sweet tea or soft drinks. Candy and chips are mainstays. She refuses to try new foods. Once when I bribed her to try something different, she gagged as it went down. She appears healthy and is happy. What are your thoughts? – C.G. It doesn’t take a Ph.D. in nutrition to declare your granddaughter’s diet as less than ideal. I was faced with exactly the same situation. I was not successful in winning the battle of a better diet, and I tried everything. Finally, I had to adopt a policy of benign neglect and wait for whatever brain circuits were miswired to right themselves. Her parents have to make sure she is growing normally and that she truly is healthy. Only her doctor can determine that. If she is, I’d let nature take its course, no matter how unnerving it is to you. I welcome thoughts from readers and promise to pass them on. I’m at a loss for a successful solution for this situation. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Patrick Williford plays as brother Michael makes an adjustment to piano in the chemotherapy center at High Point Regional Health System. Michael Williford donated the piano to the Cancer Center.
Sounds that soothe Young man’s gift brightens atmosphere in Cancer Center BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
H
IGH POINT – One evening not too long ago, a patient at the Cancer Center of High Point Regional Health System thought she heard music down the hall. “I keep hearing piano music,” she told her son, who was visiting that evening. When the man confirmed that yes, he had noticed a piano on his way to her room, she insisted he take her to it. As the instrument, a player piano, played “Ave Maria,” the woman sat down beside the piano and began to sing in a beautiful soprano voice. Her son joined her, and together they enjoyed a happy moment – the kind of moment the woman had not had a lot of recently, given her illness. “It just totally transformed her mood,” says Janet Forrest, oncology program planning liaison. Such is the power of music and the potential of the Cancer Center’s new piano, which was donated by Michael Williford of High Point. “I just wanted to come up with something that would be long-lasting and continue to bless cancer patients,” explains Williford, who just graduated from the University of North Carolina and this month will enter the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Four years ago, Williford won a national contest, sponsored by American Eagle Outfitters, for the MedAssist program he co-founded at the Cancer
Center to help indigent cancer patients apply for free drug benefits for their cancer medications. Williford donated some of his prize money – which was in excess of $25,000 – to the Cancer Center’s LoveLine program for patients needing financial assistance, and he banked the rest, not sure how to spend it. Recently, though, he helped his
’Instead of being greeted with that antiseptic smell and the feeling of a clinic, they’re greeted with the sound of beautiful music. It takes away some of the fear and sends the message that this is a welcoming place.’ Janet Forrest Oncology program planning liaison younger brother, 15-year-old Patrick, create a volunteer musician program for the Cancer Center, through which volunteers will entertain patients at the center. Patrick, a gifted guitarist and pianist who plays by ear, is one of the performers, and Michael goes with him to sing.
That’s how Michael hit on the idea of using more of his prize money to buy the piano for the Cancer Center. The piano, a Yamaha Clavinova digital keyboard, is the Rolls-Royce of high-tech musical instruments. Not only is it a player piano, it can also be programmed to record the music when someone is playing the piano, and then play it back. Most of the time, the piano will sit on the mezzanine above the Cancer Center’s main lobby, and it will be programmed to play music throughout the day. However, it will also be accessible to any patients or staff members who want to sit down and play it. Furthermore, when the Willifords come to perform for patients, the piano has wheels on the bottom, so it can be transported up and down the halls – say, for example, to the chemo room – and even into individual patients’ rooms. According to Forrest, the piano has been a welcome addition to the Cancer Center, where the music can be heard as soon as you enter the building. “If you’re not familiar with the Cancer Center, just knowing you’re coming into a building with the big word ‘cancer’ on the building can be very intimidating,” she says. “But instead of being greeted with that antiseptic smell and the feeling of a clinic, they’re greeted with the sound of beautiful music. It takes away some of the fear and sends the message that this is a welcoming place.”

Your numbers are 2, 13, 17, 21, 28, 35, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Regrets are a waste of time, along with fretting over things you can do absolutely nothing about. Get serious about how you want your home and surroundings to be. Don’t let someone else’s uncertainties stop you from moving forward. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Lay your plans out for all to see and you will get positive responses. Do your own research and stick to the rules, no matter what you are pursuing. It will be forgotten details that lead to setbacks. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take your time and do things right.

Love is heading your way. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put in extra hours working from home and you will outdo any competition you face. Avoiding people who can rile you will be half the battle.

Don’t be afraid to brag about things you have already achieved. Romance is looking very good and time should be put aside to find love or nurture your current relationship. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will be taken advantage of if you don’t clarify what you will and won’t do. Paying for others or donating to an organization won’t help you. Instead, put your money into your future, your home or a good long-term investment. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23- Oct. 22): Folding to demands or ultimatums will not keep the peace. Instead, remove yourself from any situation causing you discomfort. Overreacting will end in irreconcilable differences. A partnership must be based on equality in order to work. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Forward thinking will lead to prosperity.

You don’t want to leave anything to chance, especially if there is money involved. Your emotions may interfere if someone you love gives you an ultimatum. Be strong and prepared to do your own thing. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love is all around you but is not without its trials and tribulations. If you aren’t honest about your past and your intentions, you can’t maintain a good relationship with someone who has the potential to be good for you professionally or romantically. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Get together with creative people who can help you flush out your ideas and bring you the help you need to speed up the process. A business or personal partnership will show greater promise and will enhance your life. ★★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
A reader sent me today’s deal from a major pairs event, noting that “lesson” deals do turn up in real life. When South overcalled one spade, West’s double artificially showed threecard heart support. At three spades, the battle was over an overtrick (vital in a pairs event). West cashed two high clubs and the ace of hearts and led another heart. South discarded a diamond on dummy’s king, then led a diamond: three, jack, deuce. He next took the ace of diamonds: nine, six, ten.
NO PROBLEM South then had no problem in trumps. He knew from the bidding and play that East had held six hearts and three clubs, and East had followed to two diamonds and still had the king. Since East had one trump, South took the ace and led to the jack. Making four. East missed a chance. If he trusts West’s deuce on the first diamond to show an odd number, East can throw his king of diamonds under the ace! If South then thinks East’s pattern was 2-6-2-3, he’ll play to drop the queen of trumps.
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 9 7 5 3 H 2 D A J 4 C J 9 8 7. Your partner opens one heart, you bid one spade, he bids two diamonds and you try 2NT. Partner then bids three clubs. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner seems to be in distress. His values are limited, and his pattern is unbalanced and unsuited to notrump. You stretched slightly when you tried for game with 2NT, and now your ace of spades seems to lie opposite a void. No game is likely. Pass. West dealer N-S vulnerable
ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.
‘Twilight’ waning but makes it to $161M LOS ANGELES (AP) – “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is waning at the box office but still has gotten off to a blockbuster start with $161 million in its first five days, according to studio estimates released on Sunday. The third chapter in Summit Entertainment’s vampire romance fell off sharply after debut-
ing last Wednesday with $68.5 million. “Eclipse” easily held the No. 1 spot for the weekend, despite its $69 million Friday-to-Sunday total. Summit estimates “Eclipse” will climb to around $181 million domestically by today. The movie also has added $100.2 million in 42 over. Paramount’s “The Last Airbender” opened well
with $40.7 million to finish at No. 2 for the threeday weekend. The movie took in $53.2 million since debuting Thursday. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan (“The Sixth Sense”), “The Last Airbender” is based on the cartoon series about a youth with mythical powers who can unite four warring nations.

Several cars crash and burn during a wreck in the final laps of the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., early Sunday morning.
Harvick survives wild Daytona DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – The cracked, patched and deteriorating track held up better than most of the cars and some of the competitors. A wild night race at Daytona International Speedway – the last one on the track’s 32-yearold surface – ended with Kevin Harvick taking the checkered flag, teammate Clint Bowyer spinning through the Harvick infield grass and several angry drivers searching for answers. Just another restrictor-plate race? Maybe. But this one also might be remembered as one of the more chaotic events at NASCAR’s most famous track. “Every time I looked up, there was a crash going on,” secondplace finisher Kasey Kahne said. It sure seemed that way, especially over the final 45 laps Saturday night. Despite a record 18 leaders and 47 lead changes, the real excitement resulted from six multi-car crashes in the second half of the race that essentially wiped out half the field. The biggest of them all, a 20-car melee that included four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson, came with 12 laps to go and halted action for 20 minutes. There was even more commotion after the race. With fireworks exploding high above the

Mark Martin drives down pit road with his car engulfed in flames after he was involved in a crash in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach early Sunday morning. Members of Jimmie Johnson’s crew pulled Martin from his burning car and Martin was not injured. track and smoke lingering from Harvick’s celebratory burnout, Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch had a heated exchange. Edwards felt Busch roughed him up on the final lap. Busch’s car hit the wall just past the finish line following the contact. “He ended up wrecking himself,” Edwards said. “I guess it didn’t work out for him. I think he was frustrated he didn’t have a good day.” Busch refused to talk to Edwards after climbing out of his car, then reminded everyone that Edwards was the same driv-
er who deliberately retaliated against Busch’s teammate, Brad Keselowski, at Atlanta earlier this year. “He completely turned right after the start/finish line,” Busch said. “There’s convincing evidence of that. We’ve seen him turn right before and wreck a Penske car.” With the last-lap action taking place in his rearview mirror, Harvick cruised across the finish line for his second victory of the season and his first at Daytona since capturing the 2007 Daytona 500. “This has been a great place for
us,” Harvick said. “Daytona has been one of those magical places for us ever since we started coming here.” Kahne posted his third top-five finish in the last four races. Jeff Gordon was third, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Burton, Edwards and Busch. Junior may have benefited most from all those crumpled cars. He ran in the middle of the pack all night and even radioed to crew chief Lance McGrew that, “It ain’t gonna drive good no matter what.” But Earnhardt eluded the big one with a nifty move low and avoided a couple more late wrecks for his fourth consecutive finish in the top 11. This one moved him into 11th place in the all-important Chase for the championship. “We got lucky, real lucky to get what we got,” Earnhardt said. “I’m proud of the work the guys did, but you’d rather be good than lucky. Anybody wants to trade you some luck like they all did tonight, we’ll take it.” Others felt the same way. Reed Sorenson (eighth), Mike Bliss (ninth), Scott Speed (10th), Steve Park (13th), Kevin Conway (14th) and Bobby Labonte (16th) enjoyed their best finishes of the season. For Park, it was his first Cup race in nearly seven years. “It was a great night, but it was ugly,” Conway conceded. The race started 90 minutes late because of rain, and drivers were cautious early on a slippery track.
Post 87 delivers playoff fireworks ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
CLEMMONS – American Legion Post 87 celebrated the Fourth of July with its own fireworks show on Sunday at West Forsyth High School. Fourth-seeded Post 87 outslugged top-seeded West Forsyth 12-11 in Game 1 of their best-offive second round Area III North-
ern Division playoff series. Kevin Sanders went 3-for-5, drilled three homers and finished with five RBIs for Post 87, which improved to 15-8 on the season. Sanders has 14 homers on the year and Sunday marked his second three-homer contest of the season. DeSean Anderson tripled home the winning run in the top of the
ninth inning for Post 87. His blast plated Houston Ison, who led off with a single. Anderson went 4-for-6 with a pair of homers and three runs scored. He now has six homers for the season. Ben Fultz also homered for Post 87, while Mike Whited went 2-for6 with three runs scored. Sanders also got the pitching
win, working 2⁄3 of an inning in relief. Conner Scarborough tossed a scoreless ninth to notch the save. Game 2 of the series is today at 6 p.m. at Finch Field. Game 3 will be played Tuesday at West Forsyth, with Game 4, if needed, back at Finch Field on Wednesday. A decisive fifth game, if needed, would be Thursday night at West Forsyth.

ourting LeBron James has offered all of the over-the-top melodrama of a cheesy reality show. Perhaps James should invite all of the teams wooing him to participate in a “Bachelor-style” contest. Maybe The Akron Hammer could present the team he chooses with a pair of his gym socks to wash. Give me a break. No doubt James is a superstar. This free agent will make whatever team he ultimately
picks very, very happy. But do we need 24-7 coverage of James meeting with Chicago Bulls officials at the corn-dog shack or James sharing a Slurpee with Cleveland Cavaliers’ officials? Of course not. James invited representatives of the New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers, Cavs and Bulls to meet him on his terms in his neckof the woods. That’s fine. The constant mega-media blitz surround-
ing the proceedings was massive overkill. And it’s not just James. We’ve been subjected to live updates on national networks on the potential comings and goings of Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, David Lee and a host of other NBA free agents. I’d prefer hearing about these fellows after they sign on the dotted line. But in the reality TV era, that’s not likely.

The Dontrelle Willis experiment is over for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The team designated the big left-hander for assignment Sunday and recalled young left-handed reliever Jordan Norberto from Triple-A Reno. In his brief time with Arizona, Willis had the same control problems that plagued him in Detroit. The Diamondbacks acquired Willis from the Tigers on June 1 for right-hander Billy Buckner, with Detroit picking up most of the pitcher’s $12 million salary. In six games with Arizona, five as a starter, Willis was 1-1 with a 6.85 ERA. He struck out 13 and walked 27 in 22 1/3 innings. Recently moved to the bullpen, his only appearance as a reliever was Saturday night, when Willis gave up three runs on three hits in one inning of Arizona’s 14-1 loss to the Dodgers. Willis had welcomed the trade as “a fresh start.” A little over a month later, he was gone. The team designated him for assignment three days after firing general manager Josh Byrnes and manager A.J. Hinch.

Heyward still hopes to play in All-Star game ATLANTA (AP) — Braves rookie outfielder Jason Heyward, who was voted by the fans to the NL All-Star game, says he may be able to play in the game. Heyward, who said earlier this week he wouldn’t try to play in the game, is on the 15-day disabled list with a deep bone bruise in his left thumb. He was to have the cast removed on Sunday, leaving the rookie and general manager Frank Wren to speak in hopeful terms about Heyward’s chances to play in the July 13 game in Anaheim, Calif. Heyward says if he is able to play, he could use the All-Star game as a rehab game for the second half of the season. Wren says Heyward has a chance to play only if he can take batting practice when the Braves play at the New York Mets on Friday through Sunday before the break.

San Diego’s Tony Gwynn Jr. follows through on a walk-off single as Houston catcher Humberto Quintero looks on during the ninth inning of Sunday’s game in San Diego. The Padres won 3-2.
Braves suffer ‘Uggla’ loss THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA – Dan Uggla homered and drove in all three Florida runs, Ricky Nolasco pitched seven strong innings and the Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 on Sunday. Florida avoided a sweep in the three-game set as the Braves won each series during a 6-3 homestand. The loss dropped Atlanta’s lead in the NL East to two games over the New York Mets. Nolasco (8-6) set a season high with 11 strikeouts while allowing six hits and two runs with only one walk. Leo Nunez pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save. Tim Hudson (8-4), one of five Atlanta All-Stars, gave up six hits and three runs in eight innings. He’s pitched at least seven innings in six straight starts. Hudson walked one, struck out seven and finished with four straight scoreless innings. Uggla was left off the NL AllStar roster when Phillies manager Charlie Manuel instead selected Braves utility infielder Omar Infante. Uggla, selected to the 2006 and 2008 All-Star teams, offered a reminder of his credentials when he hit his 16th homer in the fourth to push Florida’s lead to 3-1. All-Star catcher Brian McCann’s 10th homer in the sixth cut Florida’s lead to 3-2. Florida’s All-Star selections were starting pitcher Josh Johnson and Hanley Ramirez, who will be the first NL shortstop to make three straight starts since Ozzie Smith (1983-92) started 10 straight.
ROCKIES 4, GIANTS 3 (15) DENVER – The Rockies blew a three-run lead in the eighth inning Sunday, then watched Todd Helton rescue them with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 15th that gave Colorado a 4-3 win over the San Francisco Giants. The Rockies stranded 20 baserunners, including 12 from the eighth through the 14th.
REDS 14, CUBS 3 CHICAGO – Drew Stubbs hit three of the Cincinnati Reds’ season-high seven home runs on Sunday to lead a 14-3 romp over the Chicago Cubs. The Reds had four of the homers during an eight-run seventh in-
ning, all coming after Cubs starter Ted Lilly (3-7) retired the first two batters. Brandon Phillips began the barrage with a solo shot to left, and Jonny Gomes added a two-run homer. Jeff Stevens then surrendered a solo home run to Corky Miller, and after back-to-back walks, Stubbs went deep for the second time. He also hit a solo home run in the third inning and another solo shot in the ninth.
DODGERS 3, DIAMONDBACKS 1 PHOENIX – Matt Kemp hit a tworun homer off reliever Aaron Heilman in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers went on to beat Arizona 3-1 on Sunday to take two of three from the Diamondbacks. The Dodgers’ Chad Billingsley and Arizona’s Dan Haren battled to a 1-1 draw. Billingsley left after six innings and Haren after seven. That left it up to the bullpens, and it was no contest.
PADRES 3, ASTROS 2 SAN DIEGO – Tony Gwynn Jr. hit a bases-loaded single up the middle with one out in the ninth inning to help the Padres take three of four from the struggling Astros. It was the Padres’ 11th win in their final at-bat at home and their third straight. Heath Bell (4-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the win.
CARDINALS 7, BREWERS 1 ST. LOUIS – Adam Wainwright threw a five-hitter and added a three-run double off fellow firsttime All-Star Yovani Gallardo, and the Cardinals coasted. Another Brewers All-Star, Corey Hart, homered for the lone damage against Wainwright (12-5), who struck out nine and walked none for his fourth complete game of the season.
Phillies couldn’t hold a 5-2 lead in losing their fourth in five games. Evan Meek (4-2), a former Rule 5 pick selected earlier in the day as the Pirates’ lone All-Star representative, won it by retiring the Phillies in the seventh.
METS 9, NATIONALS 5 WASHINGTON – Jason Bay drove in four runs, Angel Pagan drove in two more and All-Star third baseman David Wright added two hits and scored two runs for the Mets. Ike Davis added a two-run homer in the third inning to make a winner of Hisanori Takahashi (7-3), who allowed a three-run homer to Ryan Zimmerman but was otherwise stingy on the mound.
YANKEES 7, BLUE JAYS 6 (10) NEW YORK – Pinch-hitter Marcus Thames had a game-ending single in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the New York Yankees a 7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays despite having three runners thrown out at home plate Sunday. The Yankees appeared to have a come-from-behind win all gift-wrapped for owner George Steinbrenner’s 80th birthday, but Mariano Rivera blew a save for the second time this season.
ORIOLES 6, RED SOX 1 BOSTON – Brian Matusz pitched shutout ball for seven innings and the Baltimore Orioles picked up just their third win in 20 games at Fenway Park. Kevin Youkilis homered for the Red Sox, who lost for only the fifth time in 17 games.
ATHLETICS 3, INDIANS 1 CLEVELAND – Vin Mazzaro pitched into the eighth inning and upstaged Cleveland All-Star Fausto Carmona.
PIRATES 8, PHILLIES 5
MARINERS 8, TIGERS 1
PITTSBURGH – Garrett Jones and Delwyn Young drove in two runs each during a six-run seventh inning, and the last-place Pirates beat the Phillies for the third time in four games. Pirates rookie Pedro Alvarez started the rally with his second homer in as many games, making a loser of Jose Contreras (3-3). The defending NL champion
DETROIT – Russell Branyan and Casey Kotchman each hit a threerun homer, All-Star Cliff Lee fell an inning short of another complete game and Seattle beat the Tigers.
RAYS 7, TWINS 4 MINNEAPOLIS – Evan Longoria had three hits and three RBIs, and Sean Rodriguez homered among his three hits, leading Tampa Bay.
Forest City chops down HiToms, 8-2 BY ZACH KEPLEY THE THOMASVILLE TIMES
THOMASVILLE – Fans enjoyed America’s favorite pastime and celebrated America’s birthday Sunday evening at Finch Field, but what they did not get was a win from the hometown HiToms. Forest City spoiled what would have been a perfect night across the board, leaving town with an 8-2 win, moving the defending Coastal Plain League champions to 3-3 in the second half Western Division pennant race. The Tommies remain winless in the second half at 0-3. From the start, the Owls took the lead and never looked back. With the help of some miscommunication on a bloop single, Forest City
scored three runs in the first inning off starter Parker Thomas. Quickly responding, the HiToms broke back for a lone run in the bottom half, catching a bad break that could have given them more. Cass Hargis singled, then went around to third on what was ruled a ground-rule double by Tyler Frederick. Hargis would have scored on the play and Frederick may have been able to leg out a triple, but the two were held at second and third. Zak Wasserman did hit a sacrifice fly to right to score Hargis, but that was all the HiToms could muster up, as Chris Fritts flied out to right to end the inning. Thomas bounced back from the three-run first, holding the Owls scoreless the next five frames while striking out seven.
The offense narrowed it down to a 3-2 game in the fourth, as Alex Yarbrough cranked an RBI double off the wall in right to bring in Wasserman. In the seventh, Matt Dillon came in to relieve Thomas and was not greeted kindly by Forest City. Scoring four runs, the Owls got more than enough separation to coast home for the victory. It has been a trying year for the HiToms, and perhaps skipper Tom Dorzweiler let his frustrations be known in the seventh, getting tossed from the game. Forest City added the night’s final run in the eighth. The teams meet up again tonight when the HiToms make the trip to Forest City for a 7:05 p.m. start time.
NEW YORK (AP) – In the year of the pitcher, nohit aces Ubaldo Jimenez and Roy Halladay lead a formidable National League All-Star staff. Rookie sensation Stephen Strasburg will have to wait at least another season before he gets the nod. AL MVP catcher Joe Mauer was announced Sunday by Major League baseball as the fans’ top choice for the July 13th All-Star game in Anaheim, Calif. Albert Pujols earned the most votes in the National League. In the closest voting, the Mets’ David Wright overtook the Phillies’ Placido Polanco in the final week to win the NL starting third baseman spot. Each squad still has one more spot to fill in their 34-man rosters. Fans will make the decision, choosing from a list of five candidates in each league in an Internet runoff. Strasburg’s 100 mph fastball has captivated fans around baseball since the Washington Nationals called the right-hander up June 8, but NL manager Charlie Manuel would like to see 21-year-old settle into his role as an ace before making the Midsummer Classic. “He got quite a bit of consideration,” Philadelphia’s Manuel told TBS during the selection show. “He is going be an All-Star for a long time. What does he have, five starts? I just felt there are other guys who have started 18 to 20 games. I just felt leave him alone and let him get used to the major league level.” Strasburg watched the selection show on a clubhouse TV, but was called away by Nationals management after the first couple of pitchers were selected. “I thought he had a pretty good shot,” Nationals closer and All-Star pick Matt Capps said. “He’s one of the top pitchers in baseball right now.” Halladay pitched a perfect game in his first season with the Phillies, and Jimenez had one of the four no-hitters this year and is off to a remarkable 14-1 start with a 2.27 ERA for the Colorado Rockies. Halladay’s teammate Chase Utley was voted as the starting second baseman for the NL, but he is out with an injured right thumb. He will be replaced in the lineup by Atlanta’s Martin Prado. Colorado’s injured shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was chosen as a reserve by his peers. His spot will be taken by the Mets’ Jose Reyes. The other NL starters are: Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina; Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez; and Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun, Los Angeles’ Andre Ethier and Atlanta’s Jason Heyward in the outfield. In the American League, Mauer is joined by Minnesota Twins teammate Justin Morneau, the first baseman. The other AL starters: Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano and shortstop Derek Jeter; Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria; Texas designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero; and Texas’ Josh Hamilton, Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki and Tampa Bay’s Carl Crawford in the outfield. The World Series champion New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have a leading six All-Stars each, but Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia and catcher Victor Martinez are out with injuries. Yankees manager Joe Girardi made several difficult decisions in finalizing the AL squad. He left off Andy Pettitte and took teammate CC Sabathia, both 10-game winners, and selected slugger Alex Rodriguez, who only has 12 homers but 61 RBIs. Among the other players having strong seasons who got left off are Kansas City’s David DeJesus (.325) and Billy Butler (.320), Mets pitcher Mike Pelfrey (10-2) and San Diego pitcher Mat Latos (9-2). One surprising pick was St. Louis’ Matt Holliday. In the first year of a seven-year, $120 million deal, Holliday is batting .209 with runners in scoring position and has 39 RBIs – fourth-best on the team. Cincinnati’s Arthur Rhodes made his first AllStar team at 40. In his 19th season, Rhodes has a 1.09 ERA in 37 appearances. All-Star rosters were increased by one player to 34 this year, but there are always complaints about who’s absent. Blame that on all the factors that go into picking the squad – every team must be represented, managers must deal with their own players, the need to have enough players at each position, nagging injuries and more. The Braves and Cardinals each had five All-Stars to lead the NL. Atlanta’s 20-year-old rookie Heyward made the squad, but might not be able to play because of an injury. The host Los Angeles Angels have one All-Star, center fielder Torii Hunter. The NL Internet candidates: San Diego’s Heath Bell, Colorado’s Carlos Gonzalez, Cincinnati’s Joey Votto, Atlanta’s Billy Wagner and Washington’s Ryan Zimmerman. The AL Internet candidates: Chicago’s Paul Konerko, New York’s Nick Swisher, Minnesota’s Delmon Young, Texas’ Michael Young and Boston’s Kevin Youkilis.

Rose holds on for victory THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. – Justin Rose lost another big lead. This time, he didn’t lose the tournament. Staked to a five-shot lead at the turn, Rose finished with seven straight pars and closed with an even-par 70 to hold on for a one-shot victory Sunday in the AT&T National, his second PGA Tour title in his last three events. It would have been three straight wins for the 29-year-old Englishman except for his collapse last week at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut when he blew a three-shot lead in the final round with a 75. He had three-putt bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes – after having gone 274 consecutive holes without one on the PGA Tour – and suddenly his lead was down to two. Then came a furious charge from Ryan Moore, who one-putted his last eight greens for a 65 to close within one shot. Rose was steady down the stretch, however, and calmly rolled in a 30-inch par putt on the last hole for the victory. Tiger Woods wasn’t close at all. The defending champion shot a 1-over 71, marking the first time in 11 years that he didn’t break par over four rounds in a regular PGA Tour event. He wound up 14 shots behind Rose. The consolation prize for Moore, who finished second, was a trip to St. Andrews for the British Open. Rose earned a spot in the British Open through a special money list, along with Bubba Watson, who did not play this week.
CHOI TAKES FARR CLASSIC AP
Spain’s Rafael Nadal holds his trophy aloft after defeating Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic in the men’s singles final at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon on Sunday.
Nadal reclaims Wimbledon title WIMBLEDON, England (AP) – A year after knee problems prevented him from defending the title, Rafael Nadal has the Wimbledon trophy back in his hands. The top-ranked Spaniard swept 12thseeded Tomas Berdych 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 on Sunday to reclaim the championship at the All England Club, winning his second Wimbledon title and eighth Grand Slam crown. Nadal broke the Czech four times and never lost serve in 15 service games, winning in 2 hours, 13 minutes. He extended his record to 5-0 in his last five major finals and reinforced his current status as the No. 1 player in the game. Nadal “retained” the title he first won here in 2008, when he beat Roger Federer in an epic five-set final after losing to the Swiss star in the previous two finals. Last year, hobbled by tendinitis in both knees, Nadal stayed at home and watched on television as Federer took advantage of the Spaniard’s absence to win his sixth Wimbledon. “It was probably one of the toughest moments in my career,” Nadal said after accepting the winner’s trophy Sunday from the Duke of Kent.
WIMBLEDON AT A GLANCE
---
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) – Sunday at the All England Club: Men’s final: No. 2 Rafael Nadal beat No. 12 Tomas Berdych 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 for his second Wimbledon title and eighth Grand Slam championship. Noteworthy: Nadal is 31-1 with five titles since mid-April.
But Nadal came back strongly this year and has now won 14 straight matches at Wimbledon. It’s the second time Nadal has won the French Open and Wimbledon backto-back, making the tough transition from clay to grass. Until he and Federer accomplished the feat for the last three years, the last man to do it was Bjorn Borg in 1980. With eight Grand Slam titles, Nadal joins a list of greats that includes Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, Fred Perry and Ken Rosewall. He also has five French Open championships and one Australian Open title. All that’s missing for a career Grand Slam is the U.S. Open title.
Armstrong avoids trouble; Petacchi wins 1st stage BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) – Lance Armstrong saw it coming: tight turns, narrow roads, big crowds and nervous riders would make crashes likely in Sunday’s first stage at the Tour de France. He sure was right. The seven-time Tour champion emerged unscathed after at least six crashes bedeviled the sunbaked stage through Dutch and Belgian flatlands that was won by Alessandro Petacchi of Italy, who avoided a big pileup in the final straightaway. Race leader Fabian Cancellara tumbled to the asphalt and defending champion Alberto Contador scraped a leg against another bike after he hit his brakes in the logjam that blocked the road. Neither was seriously hurt. The 139-mile course from Rotterdam, Netherlands, to Brussels, started out with three mid-stage crashes, one caused by a dog that darted into the pack, and finished with another three in the last two miles. “Total mayhem,” Armstrong said.
Even so, the overall standings didn’t change. Tony Martin of Germany remained 10 seconds behind Cancellara, who won Saturday’s prologue. Britain’s David Millar was third, 20 seconds off the Swiss rider. Armstrong trailed another 2 seconds back and Contador was sixth, 5 seconds behind his American rival. “Typical first stage: Everybody wants to be in the front, everybody nervous for crashes,” Armstrong said, noting that a huge fan turnout on the roadsides was both good and bad. Millions and millions on the road, it’s a blessing and a curse. It’s so great to have so many supporters. It (also) makes the guys super nervous. “And on these tight roads, with bad surfaces and a lot of turns, there shouldn’t be any surprise that there are crashes there.” Two of Armstrong’s best support riders on Team RadioShack – fellow American Levi Leipheimer and Andreas Kloeden of Germany – were among 12 riders who suffered cuts and bruises in the spills, according to the race doctor.
SYLVANIA, Ohio – Na Yeon Choi
1 made a 2 ⁄2-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to win the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic. Choi converted a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole to join fellow South Koreans In-Kyung Kim, Song-Hee Kim and American Christina Kim in the playoff. After all four missed birdie putts on the first extra hole, Choi hit her third shot close and rolled in the putt for her third career LPGA Tour victory. Choi had rounds of 64, 67, 68 and 71 to finish at 14-under 270 at Highland Meadows. Christina Kim (70) missed a 12-foot birdie putt for the victory on the 72nd hole.
MIZE POSTS BREAKTHROUGH WIN BLAINVILLE, Quebec – Larry Mize won the inaugural Montreal Championship for his first Champions Tour victory, closing with an 8-under 64 for a one-stroke victory over John Cook at Fontainebleau Golf Club. The 51-year-old Mize, the 1987 Masters champion, had an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey in the final round to finish at 17-under 199. Cook shot 68.
JIMENEZ CAPTURES FRENCH OPEN VERSAILLES, France – Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain won the French Open for his second victory of the season and 17th career European tour title, beating countryman Alejandro Canizares and Italy’s Francesco Molinari in a playoff. Jimenez shot a 4-under 67 to match Canizares (68) and Molinari (68) at 11 under at Le Golf National. Jimenez won with a par on the first extra hole. Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy (66) was a stroke out of the playoff.
NBA’s free agent fireworks could come next week NEW YORK (AP) – From Cleveland to Chicago, South Florida to the New York area, it was a mostly quiet Fourth of July in the NBA. The real fireworks could come next week. With LeBron James and other big names taking time to ponder their futures, the free agent market was in many ways on hold for the holiday – though Joe Johnson did agree to a
maximum contract to stay in Atlanta. Paul Pierce and Dirk Nowitzki are staying right where they were expected to, agreeing to multiyear deals to remain in Boston and Dallas, respectively. Rudy Gay will get around $80 million to continue his career in Memphis. Drew Gooden (Milwaukee) and Amir Johnson (Toronto) got multiyear deals for more than $30 million.
Allmendinger, Petty exchange words at Daytona DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – AJ Allmendinger and car owner Richard Petty had a heated exchange in the garage area at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night. Allmendinger pulled away from the seven-time NASCAR champion, turned his back on his boss and then stormed away from The King. Allmendinger declined to talk to reporters, but the executive vice president of Richard Petty Motorsports said his driver was merely frustrated by having a strong car and a poor finish. “I always say the car owner shouldn’t talk to the driver anytime after the race, especially after an accident,” Petty VP Robbie Loomis said. “I think Richard’s been here so many times, he’s been through this stuff and he was just trying to get him to loosen up and let the boys do their stuff on fixing the car and getting back out there. Anytime you talk to somebody at the wrong time, it always causes discussion that needs to be worked out. That’s all that happened.” Allmendinger was still hot when Loomis got to the garage a few minutes after the incident, which happened
66 laps into the 400-mile race. “He’s a hard-charging competitor and he’s as passionate as anybody out there,” Loomis said. “Unfortunately, two Daytona races with great cars and we haven’t been able to bring the finish home.” Allmendinger led seven laps at Daytona International Speedway in February, but finished 32nd after brushing fenders with four-time series champion Jeff Gordon. This time, Allmendinger swerved to avoid hitting Kyle Busch and spun into the infield. Busch, who overcame a loose wheel early in the race, later wrecked when he turned into Juan Pablo Montoya. His accident set off the loudest ovation of the race. “I didn’t turn right to wreck myself,” Busch said. “Why would I do that? That’s dumb. We had the fastest car out there. Another year here in Daytona being the fastest car.” Allmendinger may have felt the same way after his 36th-place finish. “We’ll be back,” Loomis said. “It’s unfortunate for AJ. He’s such a fierce competitor. I can’t describe how bad that guy wants to win and he will win. It’s just a matter of when.”
TOUR DE FRANCE AT A GLANCE
Power wins at Watkins Glen
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) – A brief look at Sunday’s first stage of the Tour de France: Stage: A 139-mile ride from Rotterdam, Netherlands, to Brussels. Winner: Alessandro Petacchi, who avoided three crashes in the final 1.25 miles to claim his first win in the Tour since 2003. Petacchi is competing in his first Tour since 2004 and won his fifth stage overall in cycling’s three-week showcase. Petacchi won ahead of Mark Renshaw of Australia and Thor Hushovd of Norway. The overall standings remained unchanged with Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland leading Germany’s Tony Martin by 10 seconds. Britain’s David Millar was third, 20 seconds off the pace, ahead of seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong, who is two seconds further back. Yellow Jersey: Cancellara, who won the race’s prologue on Saturday. Next stage: Today’s second stage is a 125-mile ride that follows some parts of the Walloon Arrow and Liege-Bastogne-Liege one-day classics. The hilly terrain puts the pure sprinters at a disadvantage and could favor a group of breakaway riders.
WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) – Will Power won the Camping World Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International with a commanding performance on Sunday, giving Team Penske its first IndyCar Series win at the storied road course. Penske drivers had won the first five poles at Watkins Glen but had never won. Power, the series points leader, started from the pole and led 45 of 60 laps around the 11-turn, 3.4-mile road course. He beat team-

mate Ryan Briscoe by 1.2 seconds for his third win of the season, all on road or street courses. Dario Franchitti was third, followed by Raphael Matos and Mario Moraes, his best finish of the season. The complexion of the race changed early when Helio Castroneves, who started second, and Scott Dixon made contact on the back straight heading up through the esses on lap 7. Dixon finished eighth, one spot in front of Castroneves and more than 12 seconds behind the winner.

Furniture orders continue to rise ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – Year-toyear furniture orders continued their recent climb in April, according to the latest monthly Furniture Insights report. New furniture orders were 12 percent higher than April 2009, making April the sixth consecu-
tive month that year-toyear orders have risen. The increase also measures well against a 27 percent decline in April 2009 compared to April 2008. New orders are up 10 percent over the first four months of last year, according to the report. At the same time last year, new orders were down
22 percent compared to 2008. Ken Smith, a C.P.A with Smith Leonard Accountants & Consultants who publishes the report, acknowledges that the High Point Market may play a role in the increase. The furniture market was held April 17-22 this year and April 25-30 in 2009. “This may have some
impact on the timing of orders received,” Smith said in the report. “Any real difference should even out when the May results are in.” It is also noted in the report that while the increase in new orders is more than welcomed, it compares to 2009, which was a difficult, tumultuous year for the furniture
industry and the U.S. economy. “It does appear we have hit bottom,” Smith said. “Of course, that all assumes we do not have the double dip that some are worried about with the economy as a whole.” Economic indicators such as consumer confidence plunged in June. The index now stands at

Birthplace of drive-through bans new ones BALDWIN PARK, Calif. (AP) – The birthplace of California’s drivethrough craze has had its fill of fast food restaurants. Amid complaints of obesity and lines of idled cars stretching into neighborhood streets, this blue-collar town is banning new drivethroughs in hopes of shedding its reputation as a haven for convenient, fatty foods. It’s an ironic development for a community that proudly claims to have opened California’s first drive-through restaurant more than 60 years ago – a little joint named, appropriately enough, In-N-Out. “We here in Baldwin Park have taken strides to create a healthy community, and allowing one more drive-through in is not going to meet that goal,” said Baldwin Park city planner Salvador Lopez, who helped craft the ordinance that takes effect Fourth of July weekend. Lopez estimates the town’s drive-throughs and liquor stores outnumber sit-down restaurants and grocery stores six to one. And with 90,000 people crammed into 6.5 square miles, this suburb east of Los Angeles is concerned that its 17 drive-throughs are causing traffic jams stretching outside its parking lots. Still, this being the semiofficial birthplace of the drive-through fastfood movement, not everyone is happy with the ordinance. “They ought to put in
AP
Cars exit the drive-through at In-N-Out Burger in Baldwin Park, Calif. The city, known as the birthplace of California’s drive-through craze, has had its fill of fast-food restaurants. Amid complaints of obesity and lines of idled cars stretching into neighborhood streets, this blue-collar town is banning new drive-throughs in hopes of shedding its reputation as a haven for convenient, fatty foods. more drive-throughs, not stop them,” said Isaac Colin immediately after ordering burgers and fries for himself and his wife, Christine, at the Baldwin Park In-NOut. “It’s a waste of time getting out of your car, finding a parking spot, going in, ordering your food.” Maybe cities in other states should cut back on drive-throughs, he said, conceding they might cause traffic problems. “But not here. This is California,” he said.
The restaurant he stopped at is a shrine of sorts to drive-through aficionados, located literally a stone’s throw from where the original In-NOut, the one believed to be California’s first such eating emporium, was erected in 1948. “I used to eat at that one, it was right over there,” said another customer, Trinidad Zuniga, as he pointed to Interstate 10, the mammoth freeway that runs from the California coastline to Jacksonville, Fla.
That modest first stand, which had no tables or chairs, was torn down some years ago to make way for the freeway. And although there is no authoritative record-keeping outfit to say it really was California’s first drivethrough chow palace, In-NOut says it was and that’s good enough for pretty much everyone here. “Definitely it was the original,” said Mayor Manuel Lozano. “It’s one of our icons.” Nevertheless, Lopez said, the city needed to

cap the drive-through craze that In-N-Out started so many years ago. The City Council, following the lead of several Canadian municipalities that in recent years have restricted drive-throughs, voted unanimously last month to put a nine-month moratorium on opening any more drive-through restaurants. That same week, officials opened an outdoor fitness center they say will be dedicated to fighting childhood obesity.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Three executives at a stuffed toy manufacturer were arrested Friday on suspicion of laundering millions of dollars for Mexican and Colombian drug traffickers, authorities said. The arrests followed a two-year, multi-agency probe into the Angel Toy Corp., located in a downtown warehouse. “It’s no small irony that a multimillion-dollar company which promoted itself as retailer of cuddly stuffed animals was allegedly acting as a financial linchpin for drug trafficking operatives,” said John Morton, director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Two co-owners of the business, Meichun Cheng Huang, 57, and Ling Yu, 52, were arrested, along with chief executive officer Xiaoxin Ju, 48. According to a federal indictment, they were involved in a complex money-laundering scheme that saw representatives from drug trafficking groups drop cash at Angel Toy’s downtown headquarters or deposit money into company accounts. The deposits were always for less than $10,000 to avoid raising suspicion, authorities said. The money was then wired to China to purchase teddy bears and other stuffed animals. These toys were allegedly sent on to Columbia.
Some empty auto dealerships find tenants MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
In the Triad area, several automobile dealerships have been vacant long term, but some have found tenants. When the Triad Dodge dealership’s inventory on Peters Creek Parkway was consolidated in 2008 into North Point Chrysler Jeep Dodge Inc. on North Point Boulevard,
DILBERT
the property was vacant about 10 months before the local Salvation Army moved there last September on an 18-month lease. The nonprofit organization uses the building as a warehouse distribution center and to sell salvage goods at an auction held on Mondays. “We’re looking at different options for the future,” said Curtis Capps, a co-owner of the proper-
ty and the president and general manager of Parkway of Lexington. Indoor Urban Paintball currently leases space in the former Fowler Chevrolet dealership on Newsome Road in King, but the property is still for sale after about a year on the market, said Ladd Freeman, a broker and the president of Freeman Commercial Real Estate. Automobile dealerships
are sometimes difficult to sell or lease because they are single-use buildings, local commercial real-estate professionals said. Ray Collins, the president of Collins Commercial Properties Inc. in Winston-Salem, said that these buildings are typically 30 percent showroom, with some office space and a large repair and service area.
“So it’s not an ideal fit for a retail use to come back in,” Collins said. “The ideal use is another automotive use.” Auto lots are usually on 4 or more acres, and the dealership buildings are from 15,000 to 30,000 square feet, Freeman said. “It’s just difficult nowadays to sell anything of that size,” Freeman said.
“Commercial is just slow right now.” Collins said that in a normal market, often an automobile business will move in right behind a dealer that has moved out. He said there’s just not enough demand for buildings by automotive companies at this time unless they are in prime areas such as Hanes Mall Boulevard or Stratford Road.
Report: Chinese workers end strike BEIJING (AP) – Workers at a Japanese-owned electronics plant in northern China have ended a strike over pay and benefits after four days, Chinese state media said Saturday. Mitsumi Electric Co. said the plant in Tianjin
resumed production Saturday, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. A Mitsumi Electric statement gave no details of any agreement between the plant and its estimated 2,800 workers, Xinhua said. The company could not
be reached for comment Saturday, and there was no update posted on the website for its Tianjin plant. The strike was the latest in China involving foreignowned companies as workers grow more demanding about better conditions.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cleanup crews across the Gulf of Mexico surveyed damage done by last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hurricane while contending Sunday with choppy seas that idled many of the boats dedicated to keeping oil from hitting vulnerable beaches and marshes. Offshore skimming vessels were able to operate in Louisiana waters, but not off the coasts of Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, officials said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got our guys out there and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re docked and ready, but safety is a huge concern for us, especially with the smaller vessels,â&#x20AC;? said Courtnee Ferguson, a spokeswoman for the Joint Information Command in Mobile, Ala. The offshore skimming in those states has essentially been curtailed for nearly a week, thanks to weather generated earlier by Hurricane Alex, even though it was never closer than 500 miles or so to the spill. On Sunday, huge barges used to collect oil from skimming vessels were parked at the mouth of Mobile Bay, waiting for conditions to subside as waves rose to about 5 feet high miles offshore. The current spate of bad weather is likely to last well into next week, according to the National Weather Service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This should remain fairly persistent through the next few days,

BP workers repair booms that have been cleaned after collecting oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, at the BP Cocodrie Staging area in Terrebonne Parish, in Cocodrie, La., Sunday. and maybe get a little worse,â&#x20AC;? meteorologist Mike Efferson said. On the shore, beach cleanup crews were making progress on new oil that washed up thanks to the high tides generated by last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad weather.
In Grand Isle, about 800 people were removing tar balls and liquid oil from seven miles of beach, Coast Guard Cmdr. Randal Ogrydziak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a day or two, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to tell the oil was even there,â&#x20AC;? he said.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Japanese eating champion who sat out this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coney Island Fourth of July hot dog contest apparently couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist the temptation to hotdog afterward. Competitive eater Joey â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jawsâ&#x20AC;? Chestnut gobbled his way to a fourth consecutive championship Sunday. But he was suddenly upstaged by the surprise appearance of his biggest rival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sixtime champion Takeru Kobayashi, who did not compete but crashed the stage after Chestnutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win and wrestled with police. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let him eat! Let him eat!â&#x20AC;? the crowd chanted as police handcuffed the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 3 professional eater, dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tsunami.â&#x20AC;? The 32-year-old Kobayashi did not eat this year because he refused to sign a contract with Major League Eating â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the fast food equivalent of the NFL. On his Japaneselanguage blog, he said he wanted to be free to compete in contests sanctioned by other groups. But a few days ago, he told Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kyodo News: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really want to compete in the event.â&#x20AC;? Kobayashi, wearing a black T-shirt that said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free Kobi,â&#x20AC;? mingled with
