HIGH POINT – With temperatures in the 90s, working in an already-warm environment makes some local residents’ jobs even hotter, and while temperatures may be a little uncomfortable for most of us, the heat makes these jobs almost unbearable.

At A Cleaner World at 1530 N. Main St., employees wash, dry and press clothes while having a giant boiler running continuously.

“It’s about 6 to 7 degrees cooler inside than what it is outside,” said Candie Lawson, manager of the N. Main Street location. “Everything runs off of steam from the boiler – the irons, machines, and presses.”

So to add to the heat, workers have steam surrounding them, emulating a North Carolina summer indoors.

“It’s not economically feasible

High Point leads Triad growth rate

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – High Point closed out the census decade with nearly 17,000 additional people, according to the last population estimate the U.S. Census Bureau will report based on the 2000 Census.

The city’s population estimate for 2009 was 103,396, up 16,787, or 19.4 percent, from the 2000 count. The bureau will have a new base after the 2010 Census count.

During the decade, the city grew faster than any other Triad municipality including Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Greensboro grew 11.6 percent to 255,061 and Winston-Salem 13.7 percent to 229,828.

For years, city leaders have attributed High Point’s growth to suburban housing and business development on the north side along the N.C. 68 corridor.

In the year ended July 1, 2009, High Point grew by slightly more than 1,000 residents, and the Triad region in general grew by 5,500.

High Point ranked 8th statewide in population behind third-place Greensboro and fourth-place Winston-Salem.

Among other Triad cities and towns, Thomasville grew 8.6 percent during the decade to 26,612, and Lexington grew by 1.5 percent to 20,213. Archdale added 219 people to grow 2.4 percent to 9,317 residents.

Trinity gained 277 residents to grow to 7,001.

No Triad cities or towns lost population during the decade, which ended with a major recession. Cities losing population included Goldsboro with 1,800 residents, Kinston 1,700 people and Lenoir, 276 residents.

The Triangle and the Charlotte metropolitan areas continued to set the growth pace

New York City remains the nation’s largest city with a population of 8.39 million followed by Los Angeles at 3.83 million, Chicago at 2.85 million and Houston with 2.26 million. There has been no change in rank since 2000.

In North Carolina, Charlotte remained the 18thlargest city, with 709,441 on July 1, 2009, up 2.4 percent from 692,989 in 2008, when the Queen City grew to be the country’s 18th-largest city.

The city’s population has risen by 141,498 since the start of the decade, the sixth-largest gain among U.S. cities. Raleigh is the state’s second-largest city, with a 2009 population estimate of 405,791.

Charlotte grew 25 percent to rank 38th in growth. High Point was 50th in growth, Winston-Salem 76th and Greensboro 95th in growth.

In the last year, Cary was second in growth nationwide at 5.7 percent and Raleigh 14th at 3 percent. Greensboro grew 1.6 percent in the last year, High Point 1 percent and Winston-Salem 0.9 percent.

Nonprofit honors mentor who shares experiences with students

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DENTON – Mentoring at South Davidson High and South Davidson Middle gives Karen Gadwah the opportunity to share her life experiences, with the goal of steering children in the right direction.

For her efforts, Gadwah was recently presented with the Donna H. Black Mentor of the Year Award for the 2009-10 school year

by Communities In Schools of Lexington/ Davidson County. The award is named after the former executive director of Communities In Schools.

“It’s nice, but it means more to be working with the kids and what I see happening with the kids,” Gadwah said of the award.

Three years ago, Gadwah started her work as a mentor with Communities In Schools when she heard a presentation about the nonprofit at Denton Wesleyan Church. Reflecting on her childhood, she believes Communities In Schools’ mentoring program would have benefited her as a youngster.

“All of my experiences in my life ... enable me to be able to help these kids because I have walked a very

And she has.

Christina Howell, executive director of Communities In Schools of Lexington/Davidson County, said students are anxious to spend time with Gadwah. “She currently meets with 12 different students throughout the day each Thursday of her week,” Howell said.

“Her students look forward to the time with her, calling her both friend and hero.”

Gadwah volunteers six hours a week as a mentor and plans to double that amount during the upcoming school year.

I also am available during the summer months as well. They have my phone number.”

Not only has Gadwah had an impact on students, she also sparked her husband, Dean, to mentor as well. He has been volunteering time with Communities In Schools for two years.

“It’s life experiences and we are hoping they will not make the same mistakes that we did growing up,” he said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Beach front property going for $100 at North Topsail MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Moving on The July 4th holiday continues on for some. Buddy and Faye Troxler of New Orleans, along with their dog, Neville, enjoy the comfortable early-morning temperatures at Oak Hollow Campgrounds. They are en route to the North Carolina coast.

Marines, state join forces to keep NC military-friendly MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

KINSTON – The commander of East Coast Marine Corps installations gave the N.C. Board of Transportation ideas for keeping the state military-friendly.

“We are going through the greatest military construction period we have ever experienced in the Marine Corps,” Maj. Gen. Carl B. Jensen of MCI-East, headquartered at Camp Lejeune, told transportation board members at the Global TransPark last week.

Military construction in eastern North Carolina to accommodate ongoing growth involves “2,200 contractors – builders come in every day on new projects,” Jensen said. “Every day they build the equivalent of $1.4 million worth of construction and that’s going to get larger next year. That’s a lot of money; that’s a lot of construction.”

Jensen and Paul Friday, deputy assistant chief of staff, outlined regional Marine Corps contributions and needs from the transportation department for the board, Transportation Secretary

Gene Conti and key department officials.

Friday said that infrastructure is typically built to encourage growth, but in this case the military growth is here with the 11,477 new residents expected by 2013 al-

‘Every day they build the equivalent of $1.4 million worth of construction and that’s going to get larger next year.’

Maj. Gen. Carl B. Jensen ready in place – and then some.

“With people in the military coming ... we’ve had huge construction buildup in Eastern North Carolina when the economy was not that great,” Friday said. Increased partnerships between North Carolina and the military in an array of areas were suggested. Those areas included more agriculture for food and fuel to be used on military bases, and

studying the feasibility of using the Global TransPark runways for military troop and supply movement.

He said the military will do a feasibility study on using the runway. “There is no reason I can think of why this can’t happen,” he said.

“If we ever had a general mobilization for this nation to go to war, we’re going to need it” as well as its potential use for weather-related evacuation,” Jensen said. “It makes sense not to have all your eggs in one basket.”

Friday said another reason to use the runways is that the cost for loading at the Morehead City Port has risen for the Navy and the Navy doesn’t want to pay three times as much for tugs.

Friday outlined a need for growth pattern changes to keep open airspace in Eastern North Carolina that has shrunk 85 percent from its original 1957 footprint. To have the military, there has to be airspace for training, the men stressed. A complex pattern has been fine-tuned over the years and cannot get any smaller.

JACKSONVILLE – Sounds like a scam or George Strait song, but it’s not. Onslow County is selling oceanfront property for a C-Note.

Commissioners are poised to sell a non-buildable lot in North Topsail Beach for $100 at its Wednesday night meeting.

But the buyer, a Chapel Hill investor, isn’t getting a steal – at least not in comparison to surrounding property. Adjacent land to the .15-acre lot is valued at one Benjamin also.

Onslow Tax Administrator Harry Smith said the string of properties along Ocean Drive were valued at $100 because much of the land is under water at high tide.

“It will be a long while before those pieces of land are worth more,” he said Friday, adding that in order to build a structure on the lots, the line of vegetation has to be 60 feet away, and that reaches across the street.

The room does have exhaust fans going to help cool the employees down for the five hours they are there each day.

Those employed at Thompson Roofing Co., located at 210 W. Parkway Ave. in High Point, can sympathize. Workers install and remove roofing for large parts of their day, placing them in direct contact with the sun.

“It’s extremely hot,” said Ronnie Thompson, owner of Thompson Roofing Co. “We start work at 8 a.m. and finish between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. some days because it’s so hot.”

Thompson has been in the business for 51 years and knows the ins and outs of the trade. His advice for beating the summer heat while on the job is to “drink plenty of water and take breaks.”

test job would be laying down searing asphalt for 12 hours a day in the heat of the summer.

Jeff Loflin, resident engineer for the DOT’s Asheboro Office, described an average day: “Placing hot asphalt from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. would have to be the hottest job to do during the summer. The asphalt is around 300 degrees, plus the heat of ambient temperatures makes for a sweltering day.”

There is no option for holding off work until a cooler season. Loflin says the work has to be done when it is hot out to ensure the asphalt does not cool to quickly when being placed.

Echoing the advice of Thompson, Loflin says employees “drink lots of fluids and some have cool hats and collars that they wear.”

But someone thinks the venture is worth it. The surrounding $100 lots are owned by out-of-state investors or Raleigh-based corporations. And lots just across the street are valued at around $250,000 including $150,000 homes, according to records at the Onslow County Tax Office.

On Nov. 16, 2009, the county declared the Ocean Drive parcel as surplus. On June 1, David R. Hughes placed a $100 bid for the land with a $5 deposit. He could not be reached for comment.

Pursuant to state laws, county commissioners can advertise for sealed bids, consider upset bids or conduct a public auction. County staff recommended that if the board accepts the bid they approve the method of sale and authorize the county purchasing agent to conduct the sale.

Onslow County Manager Jeff Hudson said the idea is to return land not being used by the government to the public.

Deputy injured, charged in accident ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RANDLEMAN – A Randolph County deputy is in critical but stable condition today after he crashed his vehicle over the weekend.

Daley tries to subvert high court ruling Chicago Mayor Daley is trying to block the McDonald vs. Chicago ruling by instituting new firearms ordinances.

These anti-gun ordinances have a strong micromanagement tone to them. If you want to own a gun in Chicago, “you have to do this, you have to do that.” In other words, you have to “ask permission” twice to own a firearm in Chicago. Federal requirements to purchase a firearm already include the rock solid FBI NICS check.

Daley is going against what the USA’s highest court has ruled twice in recent years regarding the Second Amendment. Daley’s gun control activities make him a domestic enemy to the U.S. Constitution, a threat to individual American freedom, and his activities should not be tolerated.

The forefathers put the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights, not the main body of the Constitution. That was done because the Bill of Rights is exactly what its title says … a bill of rights or freedoms for the American citizen as individuals. If these individual

YOUR VIEW

---

rights or freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution are taken away by law violators posing as elected representatives, the contract between American citizenry and our elected representatives is broken and America as we know it no longer exists. The Second Amendment was placed inside the Bill of Rights right up there with freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom of assembly.

There are foreign enemies of the U.S. Constitution such as communist dictatorships, terrorists and others. But there are also domestic enemies to the U.S. Constitution who are U.S. citizens and live right here in the good ole USA, who are actually worse than the overseas enemies of the U.S. Constitution. A constitutional traitor is worse than a foreign terrorist.

To me, Daley is a constitutional traitor.

ERIC S. RIDDICK Archdale

Politicians, bureaucrats keep grabbing for more power Would you send a “fox to guard your hen house?” I don’t think so!

“Leaders move government reform through legislature” is a real joke. America has no leaders?

For past five decades, politicians’ “reform” created “doomsday” for workers after selling them out for bigger retirement accounts.

Think about NAFTA, CAFTA and their “reform.” The only thing we’re servicing is unemployment, social and welfare programs.

What a pity the politicians have been allowed to take control, selling Americans out, one job at a time, thus bankrupting America!

The latest is “the Healthy School Meals Act 4870” that would reward schools and fight obesity!

Taxpayers have heard it all now!

Their “too fat to fight” and unfitfor-military is the reason politicians know how to gain more

control over your children. Parents surely knew this would mean they no longer control. Folks, this is how bigger government works.

These programs don’t work, never have, never will!

While I’m on a roll, isn’t it about time to sell politicians, of all party affiliations, a one-way ticket to GITMO and take all their assets to pay for the trillions they’ve borrowed without taxpayers’ consent. This “reform” for over five decades created huge government that borrowed from foreign countries, left IOU’s in Social Security that belonged to taxpayers, and spun America into an oblivion!

Maybe the governor of California has the right idea. With no budgets, minimum wage in place. Brilliant!

Local, state and federal people took government jobs for security reasons. Like all politicians, decided their salaries, all benefits and retirements should be higher than private sector and paid for by taxpayers that were earning a little more than the minimum wage.

Time to wake up, America!

pen secret, clearly confused, found missing, military intelligence, jumbo shrimp, unbiased opinion, virtual reality, pretty ugly, rolling stop and transparency in government.

Oxymorons all. Figures of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side; compressed paradoxes.

Everybody in government – particularly federal and state – seems to talk about transparency but most of us see – especially outside government – so little of it, it’s difficult to recognize when it occurs.

And one relatively unnoticed step at a time, some – perhaps many – governmental bodies are easing away from compliance with the North Carolina Open Meetings Law and, except for a few of your representatives from the media (particularly newspaper reporters), nobody seems to care.

Example: In accordance with the law, this announcement was sent to media on June 28.

“The Guilford County Board of Education will hold a special meeting on Thursday July 1 at 6 p.m. to consider student assignment issues and such other business matters as may come before the board. The meeting will be held in the Board Room of the Administrative Offices, 712 N. Eugene St., Greensboro, N.C.” So far, so good.

The High Point Enterprise’s David Nivens showed up at 5:50 p.m. July 1, noticed the lobby lights were off, that no meeting agenda was posted in the lobby and a sign on the meeting room door said the meeting room was closed for a closed session. Realizing that it would be fruitless to remain alone in the lobby, no other media representatives showed up.

Biden, Iraqi president discuss how to end deadlock BAGHDAD (AP) – Vice President Joe Biden on Monday made a final effort to push Iraqi leaders to bridge their differences, which have created a dangerous political vacuum as U.S. troops head home.

Clinton criticizes Russia for occupying Georgia TBILISI, Georgia (AP) – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton rebuked Russia on Monday for failing to live up to the cease-fire agreement it signed nearly two years ago to end the fighting in this small former Soviet state.

The guards killed a second suicide car bomber, preventing him from detonating his explosives, and also killed two suicide bombers who were on foot, said Khan. The blast from the first bomber killed one soldier, said the army in a statement.

There were conflicting reports about how many people were wounded in the attack.

But a local police officer, Raffat Ali, said 12 were wounded, including 10 troops and two policemen. Two civilians also were wounded by retaliatory fire from guards trying to repel the bombers, said Ali.

Obama congratulates Petraeus on new post WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has congratulated Gen. David Petraeus for taking charge of the U.S. military effort in Afghanistan.

Petraeus officially took over on Sunday in Kabul, replacing Gen. Stanley McChrystal. Obama fired McChrystal last month after the general stunned his bosses with stinging criticism in a Rolling Stone magazine article.

The Senate unanimously confirmed Petraeus last week.

Obama held a conference call Monday with Petraeus and Karl Eikenberry, the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan.

Champ leaves NY jail after hot dog fracas NEW YORK – Japanese eating champion Takeru Kobayashi, arrested at a July Fourth hot dog-eating contest, was freed Monday after a night in jail, looking weary and saying he was hungry.

Kobayashi, 32, was freed by a Brooklyn judge after he pleaded not guilty to charges of obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest, trespassing and disorderly conduct. A contract dispute had kept Kobayashi out of Sunday’s annual Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest, but he showed up anyway.

5 dead in Texas air ambulance crash ALPINE, Texas – A patient and his wife were among the dead when an air ambulance crashed shortly after takeoff from a West Texas airport, killing all 5 people on board.

The crash happened about 12:15 a.m. Sunday about a mile east of Alpine-Casparis Municipal Airport. The twin-engine Cessna 421 had just taken off for Midland International Airport in Midland when it went down in an open area, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

It identified the dead as patient Guy Richard Folger, 78, of Alpine, his wife, Mary Folger, 59; two flight nurses, Sharon Falkener, 49, and Tracy Chambers, 42; and pilot Ted Caffarel, 59.

Health care expansion First provisions start to kick in WASHINGTON (AP) – The first stage of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul is expected to provide coverage to about 1 million uninsured Americans by next year, according to government estimates.

That’s a small share of the uninsured, but in a shaky economy, experts say it’s notable.

Many others – more than 100 million people – are getting new benefits that improve their existing coverage.

Overall costs appear modest at this point, split among taxpayers, employers and individuals who directly benefit, although the biggest part of the health care expansion is still four years away.

For weeks, the White House has been touting the new law’s initial benefit changes, even as Obama dares Republicans to make good on their threat to repeal his signature social policy achievement. Now, a clearer picture is starting to emerge from the patchwork of press releases.

In 2014, government tax credits will help uninsured workers and their families pay premiums, and Medicaid will take in many more low-income people.

Eventually, more than 30 million will gain coverage, sharply reducing the number of uninsured and putting the nation on a path to coverage for all citizens and legal immigrants.

Political salesmanship and an attempt to address some glaring health insurance problems are key elements of the strategy to explain the initial changes resulting from the law. After battling for a year to pass the

But they also have to deflect lingering questions, often stirred up by opposition candidates, and doubts about the effectiveness of the overhaul and its costs. “We’ve seen increasing numbers of people losing their health insurance, particularly in this recession,� said Sara Collins, vice president of the Commonwealth Fund, a New York-based health research clearinghouse. “Providing this early relief will help people who are particularly affected by the downturn.�

Collins reviewed coverage estimates in federal regulations for The Associated Press.

Partygoers fall 3 stories in Alabama; 1 dead HOOVER, Ala. (AP) – A wooden deck crumpled under a group of Fourth of July partiers in Alabama, killing one person and injuring six others.

Seven partygoers plummeted three stories when the deck at an apartment complex in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover collapsed Sunday night. Two uninhabited decks below were crushed by the falling debris.

Hoover Fire Department spokesman Rusty Lowe said one person was pronounced dead at the hospital, another is in critical and three are hospitalized with seri-

ous injuries. Two were treated for minor injuries and released. Lowe said it was fortunate the lower decks were empty.

He said: “It definitely could have been worse.�

Meanwhile, authorities say a firework exploded into a crowd gathered for a town Fourth of July celebration in central Pennsylvania, injuring 11 people.

Palmyra Borough police say a charge misfired, and material exploded into the nearby crowd at Palmyra Middle School and across a football field. Authorities say the victims suffered burns, contusions and abrasions.

The major early coverage benefits include: • Allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ coverage until they turn 26. • A health plan for uninsured people with pre-existing health conditions. • Ending lifetime limits on coverage, and restricting annual limits. As many as 20,400 people a year hit lifetime limits, as did Mira Raether. • Requiring insurers to cover children with medical problems.

ARCHDALE – Tim Keaton, Archdale’s newest police officer, said he looks forward to ensuring that Creekside Park is a safe place for residents.

At the Archdale City Council’s retreat earlier this year, Elaine Albertson, the city’s parks and recreation director, Darrell Gibbs, the city’s police chief and City Manager Jerry Yarborough recommended that the city hire a park ranger to monitor Creekside Park yearround. The City Council approved $35,646 in the city’s 2010-11 budget for a park ranger.

Yarbrough said last week that he felt a park ranger at Creekside Park is important for the protection of public property and patrons.

“Because of the increase use of the park and vandalism, I recommended that we have a sworn officer working for our chief to protect that park,” the city manager said. “I strongly feel that way. I think it’s a good investment.”

While Keaton’s primary job will be at Creekside, Gibbs said Keaton will be an asset for the entire city.

“If the guys in the field get in a bind, he can leave the park and go help them,” Gibbs said.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RANDOLPH COUNTY – A pair of projects in and around Asheboro are among the latest round of state roadwork announced by the N.C. Department of Transportation.

State Transportation Secretary Gene Conti last week reported that 14 contracts totaling $76.4 million have been awarded for highway and bridge projects.

One project in Randolph County near Asheboro includes replacement of the bridge over Lake Lucas on Lake Lucas Road. The work will be completed with an off-site detour, according to the DOT. A $1.53 million contract was awarded to R.E. Burns & Sons Inc. of Statesville.

The work is scheduled to begin later this month, with final completion by midJuly of next year, the DOT reports.

The second project in Asheboro includes safety improvements on an eightmile section of U.S. 220 from south of N.C. 134 and U.S. 220 Business to north of West Presnell/Park Drive.

The work includes bringing the highway up to minimum interstate standards to be used for Interstate 73/74 traffic.

A $24.2 million contract was awarded to the Sharpe Brothers Division of Vecellio & Grogan Inc. of Greensboro. The work is scheduled to begin later this month, with final completion date by November 2012.

The bids received on the 14 statewide projects came in 9.1 percent, or about $7.7 million, less than DOT estimates, the agency reports.

According to the Federal Highway Administration, every $1 million spent on transportation creates 30 jobs, and according to the construction industry, every dollar invested in transportation generates $6 in economic impact.

Some jobs fight off the summer heat – and then some

BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – While some sweat bullets on their 9-to-5 job, others must don winter garb to keep themselves warm in the frosty interiors of their workplaces.

For many in the hot summer months, ice cream is a heat-relieving treat. Emad Ali, manager of Cold Stone Creamery at 3875 John Gordon Lane, discussed the below-freezing temperatures in the walk-in freezer that make North Carolina winters seem warm.

“It stays between zero to 5 degrees in the walk-in freezer to keep the ice cream cold,” Ali said. “But in the storefront area it stays about 68 degrees.”

The second of those temperatures is refreshing after a string of days in the upper 90s, but even the biggest cold tempera-

ture fans might be a little wary of working at Swaim’s Quality Meats Inc., located at 338 Eaton Drive in High Point.

“We spend about eight hours a day processing meat in 40 to 45 degrees,” said Manager Gary Khan.

The freezer has to be kept at 20-below to store the meat. In the cooler, where they hang the cows, the temperature ranges from 32 to 38 degrees.

But he doesn’t mind the environment.

“In the summertime, it’s nice to work in these temperatures,” Khan said.

Todd’s Seafood, located at 624 National Highway in Thomasville, might have Swaim’s beat for the coldest working environment.

“We wear insulated suits and boots called freezer suits,” said Jimmy Todd, owner of Todd’s Seafood. “You don’t go in very long and stay with shorts on.”

Each day, employees spend six hours loading thousands upon thousands of pounds of seafood onto trucks to be distributed throughout the Carolinas and into Virginia and West Virginia.

When asked how he’s dealt with the cold over the business’ 52 years, Todd says he dresses to be comfortable while indoors.

“It’s cold in the wintertime, and it’s cold in the summertime,” Todd said. “I always dress accordingly to be able to handle it.” editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

Duke scientist uncovers fish, mercury link RALEIGH (AP) – Scientists at Duke University have figured out why mercury poses a bigger hazard in seafood caught in the ocean than fish caught in fresh water.

The researchers told The News & Observer of Raleigh that the chloride in ocean salt sticks to the more dangerous form of mercury, known as methyl mercury, in a way that makes it harder for sunlight to break down the metal.

The scientists found it took at least 10 times longer to break down the mercury in salt water than in fresh water.

One of the study’s authors Heileen HsuKim says more research needs to be done on how mercury cycles through the marine environment.

Gunmen fire at least 30 rounds into home

Congregation holds outdoor service after fire MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

SHOALS – About 50 souls gathered Sunday under a canopy of trees with the burned hulk of their church in the background and only the sound of birds to accompany their hymns.

Pastor Joseph Fulk, who was to have celebrated his first service at Shoals United Methodist Church, instead preached in front of a makeshift altar that held some of the remnants rescued from the church – a candlestick and gold cross.

The church was all but destroyed in a fire that started in the attic early Saturday and appeared to be accidental.

“I know today’s a little bit unusual,” he said, as he began the service.

“We’re a little bruised, a little sore, a little shaken. We may even feel a little beaten.”

He reminded the congregation, many of whom had come from neighboring churches to grieve with the church’s members, that although they had lost the building, they hadn’t lost the memories that went with it. He asked them to

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A North Carolina man said gunmen fired dozens of bullets into his Rockingham County house because they were angry at his older son over a recent stabbing incident.

Michael Stephen Smith said he first thought people were shooting fireworks outside his home near Mayodan around 3 a.m. Sunday. Then he realized the danger.

“They were aiming to kill somebody. This wasn’t a random, driveby shooting. They unloaded some high-powered stuff into my house,” Smith told The News & Record of Greensboro.

Rockingham County deputies said at least two shooters fired about 30 rounds into Smith’s home on U.S. 220 Business.

Smith said it was more like 50 or 60 bullets. “It’s amazing that no one was shot,” sheriff’s spokesman Dean Venable said “The house was riddled.”

Smith thinks the shooters were angry with his older son and wanted to send him a message. Leon Michael Smith faces an assault charge for a stabbing in Stokes County.

“We had been told by a bunch of people they were going to retaliate,” Michael Smith said.

Smith was sleeping with his 7-year-old granddaughter in a back bedroom and his wife was asleep in the living room when the shooting started.

Dear Ruthie: Many readers wrote to remind me that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and we all must do whatever it takes to keep items out of landfills.

Read on: Dear Abby: I am an activity director at a small long-term-care facility and would love

share special memories of the church.

Pam Stowers called the congregation “a tiny nation,” where people supported, loved and prayed for each other.

“The building was a place where I could come and feel refreshed when I left,” she said.

Throughout the morning, church members spoke of the strength and fellowship of the community. Though the church started in the late 1800s and many of its members have roots sunk deep in the area, it was the type of church that welcomed newcomers with gifts of baskets and pies.

Greg Sawyers, the chairman of the church’s administrative board, asked members if they wanted to carry on.

“Absolutely,” the congregation shouted.

Several area churches and a community group had offered Shoals members the use of their buildings for worship.

“What an amazing problem to have, that we have so many options,” Sawyers said.

Church members voted to accept an offer from Shoals Baptist Church.

What you don’t need, another may be able to use ear Abby: On May 13, “Diana in Lakewood, Calif.,” asked you how to reuse or donate little jewelry boxes. You offered some great tips, but you should have let folks know about two terrific resources for giving away or recycling odd things.

Freecycle.org is an online network where people can give away or find free stuff in their local neighborhood. It is a great way to recycle items – like the jewelry boxes – to a local thrift store, a crafter or a teacher.

Earth911.com is also an amazing directory of local reuse and recycling options. I work at a thrift store for home improvements. (Instead of donating clothing or furniture, some people give us lumber, kitchen cabinets, hardware, etc.)

Most people don’t know that stores like ours exist. Reusing items from your neighbors wastes no energy and builds a sense of community.

Abby, thanks for touching on this important topic. – Ruthie M. in Edmonston, Md.

People don’t realize how grateful we are to ADVICE provide a home for Dear their extra Abby greeting ■■■ cards, craft supplies, fabric scraps, wrapping paper, games, cards – the list goes on and on.

Diana should consider contacting her local nursing home activity director and put those boxes to good use.

Budgets are tight. With every cut our state and federal governments make to nursing homes, activity directors are always happy to give new life to no-longer-needed items. – The Activity Goddess, Buhl, Idaho Dear Abby: I have another suggestion for Diana in Lakewood. Quit buying so much stuff!

Recycling is only a partial solution to a wasteful lifestyle. Millions of tons of plastic, no matter how many times it is recycled, end up in our oceans, where Texassized flotillas of plastic goo will outlast us all.

The key is to generate less in the first place.

When considering a purchase, consider all four “R’s”: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Repair.

In this case, the option to “Reduce” should be observed by either buying less jewelry, or asking the vendors to quit over-

Dear Abby: Most malls and department stores open gift- wrapping booths at holiday time. They are usually set up to raise funds for a specific charity. Diana can contact mall management and find out if it plans to have one and if so, what agency will be operating it. Then she can contact the agency and arrange to donate all of the boxes. Believe me, small boxes are always needed. – Lynn in Cambridge, Ontario DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Pernicious anemia can be treated with pills

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Could vitamin B-12 in skin patches be provided for all of us with pernicious anemia so that we wouldn’t have to suffer from monthly injections? – B.W.

BLONDIE

No skin patch has been devised for delivery of vitamin B-12. However, it is acceptable to take B-12 by mouth. The vitamin dose given is very high, since only small amounts are absorbed by people with pernicious anemia. Oral treatment is common in Europe. There also are under-the-tongue preparations and nasal sprays of B-12 that can be used.

Shots are favored here because they are the most certain way of delivering enough of the vitamin.

People not familiar with the PA story need some background information.

Pernicious anemia results from a deficiency of vitamin B-12. For absorption into the blood from the digestive tract, vitamin B-12 requires a substance made by the stomach called intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor takes the vitamin by the hand and leads it across the intestinal lining and into the blood so that it gets to the bone marrow, where it’s needed for the production of red blood cells. B-12 has another important function: It keeps nerves healthy.

People with PA have an immune system that attacks the stomach cells

producing intrinsic factor.

Without it, too little B-12 is absorbed.

In time, HEALTH symptoms of anemia Dr. Paul arise: Donohue fatigue and ■■■ breathlessness with little activity. The tongue might turn red and become sensitive.

Nerve problems, like having peculiar sensations or numbness, or muscle weakness or trouble walking, appear.

Restoration of the body’s supply of B-12 reverses the anemia symptoms. It also reverses nerve damage if treatment is begun early.

Shots of the vitamin do away with the need for intrinsic factor.

Treatment is a lifelong proposition.

Dear Dr. Donohue: In a recent column on colon cancer, you note that if no problems are found on colonoscopy, a repeat isn’t needed for 10 years.

What is the length of time it takes for a polyp to become a cancer? I have heard of people coming down with it a year or so after a clean colonoscopy.

You also mentioned that it’s OK to stop colonoscopies at age 75 if the previous ones have been normal. What about recent published findings that age 75 is the peak year for

colon cancer? – H.H. It takes five years for a polyp to become a significant problem. That’s a general rule. Always, there are exceptions to such rules.

The latest information on the peak ages for colon cancer that I can find are the ages between 60 and 70. That comes from The Pathological Basis of Disease, 8th edition, 2010,

by Kumar V., et al.

Some other interesting polyp facts are that only a minority of them become cancerous; 30 percent of middle-aged people have one or more; and 50 percent of older people have a polyp or polyps.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a dry nose that bleeds occasionally. I apply A+D ointment to my nostrils every few weeks to counteract the dryness. It has petrolatum as an ingredient. Do I have to worry about doing this? The enclosed articles are my concern.

– G.W. The enclosed articles warn about getting oilbased products like petrolatum into the lungs.

Large gobs of petroleum jelly or similar products pose a theoretical risk of this happening. But a light coat isn’t likely to make its way into the lungs. I’m sure you can continue doing as you have been doing without putting yourself in any danger.

Weatherspoon Art Museum at UNCG will host exhibit of Andy Warhol’s Polaroid shots through Sept. 19.

Warhol’s world Exhibit of artist’s Polaroid pictures on display at UNCG museum

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

G

REENSBORO – A new exhibit at Weatherspoon Art Museum offers a unique glimpse into the world of Andy Warhol.

“Big Shots: Andy Warhol Polaroids” features some 300 Polaroid photographs – as well as 70 gelatin silver black-and-white prints – made by the late Warhol during his heyday as a leader in the pop art movement.

The exhibit, which will continue through Sept. 19, explores Warhol’s infatuation with Polaroids.

“He was infatuated with film in general, but Polaroids were kind of his immediate gratification,” says Elaine Gustafson, Weatherspoon’s curator of collections.

“He took between 10 and a hundred shots of people. He was very much into multiple images. We see that in his painting style, too – think of his ‘Campbell’s Soup Cans’ – where he would replicate one image over and over again.

He really wanted to have the best shot, so he’d look at all of the photos with the sitter, and then have the sitter pick the one he or she thought was the best representation. He really wanted to show everyone in a very favorable light, whether it was a true depiction or not.”

The Polaroids and snapshots feature mostly celebrities and socialites that Warhol hung out with in New York. The celebrities include the likes of Carly Simon, Truman Capote, Ryan O’Neal, Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, Diane Lane and even Howdy Doody. “(Warhol) always carried a camera,” Gustafson says. “The Polaroids were taken in his studio, but the black-and-whites were taken while he was walking

“Big Shots: Andy Warhol Polaroids” is on exhibit through Sept. 19 at Weatherspoon Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, located at the corner of Spring Garden and Tate streets.

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday; and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Admission is free.

For more information, including details of the Warhol & Friends Summer Film and Music Series, call (336) 334-5770 or visit http://weatherspoon.uncg.edu. around New York or at a party – they were just kind of a documentation of his everyday life. People who were around him got so used to it, they were not even aware they were being photographed, so you really see them in their true self. These are snapshots of people being themselves.”

The exhibition represents a collaboration of Weatherspoon and two other university art museums – the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University and Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. According to Gustafson, each of the museums received a gift of Warhol photographs from the Andy Warhol Foundation, and they decided to combine their works for exhibition purposes.

“We pooled the collection so we could have a more comprehensive collection representative of Warhol,” she says. “It’s just a richer show because we were able to collaborate.”

South’s free rebid of two clubs wouldn’t have occurred to me. South had only 11 high-card points, and a player needs an excuse to bid freely when passing to partner is an option. But many players have abandoned the “free bid” concept and show good suits regardless of a hand’s strength.

A diamond lead would have beaten five clubs, but West led a spade.

South took dummy’s ace and let the jack of trumps ride. West took the king and hastily led the king of diamonds.

South won, drew trumps and tried a heart finesse with the queen.

East won, and the defense cashed a diamond for down one.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A H A Q 9 8 6 2 D 5 4 C J 10 6 3. You open one heart, your partner bids one spade, you rebid two hearts and he tries 2NT. What do you say?

ACE OF TRUMPS South survived his bidding – the contract was good – but not his questionable play. At Trick Two he can combine his chances by taking the ace of trumps. When EastWest play low, South leads a heart to the queen.

East wins and shifts to a diamond, but South wins, takes the ace of hearts and ruffs a heart. He ruffs a spade in dummy and pitches his diamond loser on a good heart.

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Tuesday, July 6, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Matthew O’Leary, 23; 50 Cent, 35; Sylvester Stallone, 64; Ned Beatty, 73 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: There is plenty to be thankful for and to look forward to. You will discover what you no longer require in your life and what will enhance what you already have. The time to eliminate and replace is upon you and should be embraced with open arms. Take on responsibilities and you will prove how valuable you can be. Your numbers are 5, 11, 16, 23, 32, 36, 41 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Romance is looking good and social engagements will prove beneficial both professionally and personally. Talk about your plans and you will attract a lot of interest as well as suggestions that can make things easier and speed up the process. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have to finish what you start. Don’t let uncertainty slow you down. Figure out what you need to do and start the ball rolling. Wandering aimlessly will cause stress and worry. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Added responsibilities due to promises you made will be taxing but, once completed, you will realize the value in living up to your word. Don’t spend money because someone is trying to get you to buy into a scheme or a purchase you don’t need. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t rely on a big talker promising to do great things for you. If you don’t do the work yourself, it won’t be done to your liking. You’ll find out quickly who you can count on. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotions will be difficult to control. Think outside the box and you can avoid some of the personal issues you aren’t prepared to deal with just yet. An offer geared toward physical enhancement isn’t likely to be as rewarding as you expect. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get out and mingle, lend a helping hand or get involved in a project or a learning or travel experience that will bring you knowledge, friendships and a chance to promote your own ideas and plans. You can gain respect from people with something to offer for your future goals. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Not everyone is looking out for your best interests. Problems at home and within partnerships can be expected if you have made promises you haven’t kept or you keep changing your mind. A creative approach to helping others will be required. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Love lessons will turn into a harsh reality if you have neglected someone who needs your attention. You may be engrossed in something you enjoy doing or a job that has consumed every waking minute but that is no excuse for letting your personal life fall apart. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be looking for adventure, a challenge or a love connection but, once found, you will realize that nothing is as you expected it to be. Don’t play games of chance with your future. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Personal and financial matters should be on your mind. Renovations or a residential move will help you feel more secure and comfortable about your future. Your relationships with friends, family or your lover will be enhanced by the choices you make. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid anyone trying to pick a fight with you or drag you into a personal matter that doesn’t concern you. Arguing will be a waste of time but compromise will help you avoid trouble and win respect. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sharing with new and old acquaintances will help you get a better perspective on something you are trying to develop. A strong partnership can form with someone you bring back into your life. Mend bad feelings. ★★★★

ANSWER: Notrump doesn’t look right. Your rebid of two hearts already promised a sixcard suit, hence try three clubs, showing minimum values and 6-4 pattern.

Partner has options including a pass, a return to three hearts, a jump to four hearts and a raise to four clubs, but he mustn’t bid 3NT. South dealer Neither side 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.

HiToms unveil chainsaw art

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WANT TO GO?

THOMASVILLE – The HiToms always are on the lookout for guys who are good with wood.

Randy Everett fits the bill, but not with a bat. Tonight at Finch Field, a figure who stands just shy of 6-feet tall and weighs a modest 100 pounds will be introduced during the HiToms’ game against Asheboro.

“The more I look at him, he’s looking like a real guy,” Everett said Monday morning from his home in Colfax, where he was applying the finishing touches to his creation made out of white pine. “He’s looking pretty cool.”

For the past eight years, Everett has worked as a chainsaw sculptor, providing pieces of art and entering competitions all over the country.

His showing at the Thomasville Tourism/ ECHO Chainsaw Sculpting Invitational in May led to this latest work being presented this evening on Thomasville Chamber of Commerce Night at Finch.

Thomasville Tourism Director Mark Scott said in a release that his department had a desire to financially compensate Everett for helping make the May contest a successful contest. Scott also wanted to show his appre-

Tonight at Finch Field, a figure who stands just shy of 6-feet tall and weighs a modest 100 pounds will be introduced during the HiToms’ CPL game against Asheboro.

The figure was made by chainsaw sculptor Randy Everett. First pitch will be shortly after 7 p.m. ciation to the city of Thomasville for its help in hosting what is hoped to become an annual event.

When Scott approached Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver about accepting a carving from Everett, Craver wanted to be sure the figure would be enjoyed by a large number of people and also serve as a reminder of the chainsaw contest. FInch Field immediately came to mind, setting in motion the creation of the baseball player.

“I am excited to see this new addition,” HiToms President Greg Suire said. “We will wheel him out on the field between innings and unveil him for all to see.”

Everett said he’s sculpted a few baseball players before, but this one is the most de-

tailed, a little bigger than the others, and painted. The 53-year-old said designing this baseball player has given him inspiration for a contest later in the week in Georgia: an Atlanta Braves figure.

Wood-Chipper Jones, perhaps? Or maybe Jason Heywood?

When asked what the most challenging aspect of creating art with a chainsaw might be, Everett didn’t hesitate: It’s got nothing to do with the design or getting the figure just right.

“The whole deal is safety. We preach and practice safety all the time,” Everett said.

“You don’t want that chainsaw – or some of these other power tools – to hit you.”

The newest HiTom certainly figures to be a hit. Officials haven’t decided where the carving will be permanently placed, but it will be somewhere that people can have photos or videos taken with the lifelike figure.

Assuming he sticks around, Scott quipped.

“I hope he brings luck to the HiToms,” the tourism director said. “If not, I guess they can bring the chainsaw back out and turn him into 15 or 20 good bats!” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Caraway gears for Rusty Harpe Memorial

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

ASHEBORO – A sluggish economy isn’t helping Chip Harpe in his effort to make the most out of his pet project.

Harpe is the driving force behind the Rusty Harpe Memorial – one of Caraway Speedway’s biggest Late Model Stock races of the year – which will have its fourth running on Wednesday night.

Why is Harpe so passionate about the 200-lap event? It honors his son, a former Late Model racer at caraway who was killed in a farming accident in January of 2007.

Harpe has sponsorship from the Daggett and Shuler law firm, which helps pay a $27,000 purse

that includes a $10,000 first prize.

The large purse has in the past helped attract some of the top drivers in the area.

To help cover some of the costs, the track and Harpe were also selling lap sponsorships for $100 apiece, which included two tickets to the race and two dinners.

In an attempt to entice people to buy sponsorships, the track also decided to make lap sponsors eligible for a raffle. If all 200 sponsorships had been sold, the first prize would have been $5,000, If 100 had been sold, the prize would have been $2,000.

Even with the raffle, sponsorships have been hard to sell in the sluggish economy.

Heading into last weekend, less than 50 had been sold. If the num-

ber remains less than 100, the payoff will be $10 times the number of sponsorships sold.

“Things are just tough for everybody,” Harpe said. “I do this to keep the memory of Rusty alive. If we can get through this year and have a fifth one, I’m going to put my full effort into it to make it the best race possible.”

A field of 30 cars is expected.

Among those who have filed entries are former Caraway champs Travis Swaim, Randy Benson and Jason York; plus Jamey Caudill, Junior Johnson’s son Robert, former Martinsville winner Alex Yontz, Ryan Rhodes, Ryan Wilson, Mack Little and Corey Strickland.

Practice is scheduled tonight.

Wednesday night’s card also in-

cludes a 50-lap Limited Late Model race, a 20-lap Super Mini-Truck race and a 15-lap U-Car race. A fireworks display is to follow the racing action.

Elsewhere, Southern Modified drivers will compete in an exhibition race tonight on Charlotte Motor Speedway’s quarter-mile track as an addition to its regular Tuesday night Summer Series of Legends and Bandelero races.

The modified event is in preparation for the Southern Modified season finale on Oct. 14, which will be the first modified points race at CMS. The track will also give away vuvuzelas to the first 200 children through the gate. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

HIT AND RUN

---

T

he votes are in, and it appears baseball fans did a good job choosing the starting lineups for the American and National League All-Star rosters.

Considering voters’ track record in recent elections – political, athletic or otherwise – it’s nice to be able to say that with a straight face.

I expect another entertaining Midsummer Classic when the Major League stars line up in Anaheim on July 13.

Too bad one bad decision by MLB officials

puts a damper on the festivities.

For no legitimate reason that I can come up with, the winning league in the All-Star Game will earn home-field advantage in the World Series again this year.

The idea that the outcome of an exhibition game in mid-July determines who gets home-field advantage in the Fall Classic is preposterous.

Granted, there is no perfect way to award home-field advantage in the World Series.

Here is my two cents on the subject.

I think the 162-game regular season is a better measuring stick for home-field advantage in the World Series, Why not let the World Series participant with the better regular-season record enjoy the home-field edge?

Just a thought.

But rather than dwell on one negative, I prefer to focus on all the positives as the stars align in Anaheim.

WHO’S NEWS

As Andy Reid visited with injured soldiers in a hospital at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles couldn’t get over how eager they were to return to action.

“You see guys in there, some of them missing limbs and some pretty beat up,” Reid said. “These guys couldn’t wait to go back out there, if they could, and fight to protect our country. It’s quite an amazing thing.”

Reid, John Fox of the Carolina Panthers, Marvin Lewis of the Cincinnati Bengals and Brad Childress of the Minnesota Vikings met with hundreds of soldiers at the air field north of Kabul over the Fourth of July weekend.

The NFL-USO coaches tour is in its second year.

Last year, five coaches visited troops in Iraq.

Reid and his fellow coaches spent 21⁄2 days at Bagram, and a few days in Germany meeting with the troops, many just itching to talk a little football.

“The Eagles fans, they wanted know why Donovan is a Redskin,” Reid said.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell has been charged with possession of a controlled substance — codeine syrup — after being arrested at his home in Alabama on Monday, authorities said.

The 24-year-old former LSU star and the No. 1 draft choice in 2007 was arrested as part of an undercover narcotics investigation, said Mobile County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Lori Myles. She would not say what led to his arrest. She said he did not have a prescription for the codeine.

Russell, who graduated from high school in Mobile, was booked into the city jail and released soon afterward on $2,500 bond, online records show.

The Raiders released Russell, considered one of the NFL’s biggest draft busts, in May after he won only seven of his 25 starts and was benched. He completed just 52.1 percent of his passes in his career with 18 touchdowns, 23 interceptions, 15 lost fumbles and a passer rating of 65.2.

Oakland paid Russell about $36.4 million through the 2009 season. Since the start of the common draft in 1967, only one other No. 1 pick was released this quickly in his NFL career. Indianapolis cut 1992 top pick Steve Emtman after three seasons, but that was more because of injuries than production.

Russell and his agent did not immediately return calls for comment.

West Forsyth nips Post 87, evens series ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE – For the second time in as many days, High Point American Legion Post 87 battled West Forsyth to a 12-11 decision in the second round of the Area III Northern Division playoffs.

This time, top-seeded West Forsyth came out on the winning end for a one-run victory over the fourth seed on Monday night at Finch Field.

The best-of-5 playoff series is tied at one game apiece

entering tonight’s Game 3 at West Forsyth. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.

Game 4 will be back at Finch Field on Wednesday at 6 p.m. Game 5, if needed, will be Thursday night at West Forsyth.

West Forsyth rallied with four runs in the top of the ninth to grab a 12-9 lead. Post 87 responded with two runs in the bottom half, but stranded the potential tying run at third base to end the game.

Kevin Sanders went 3-for-4 with three RBIs for Post

87, while teammate DeSean Anderson finished 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Conner Scarborough was 2-for5 with two RBIs and a run scored for Post 87, while Houston Ison was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs. Scarborough worked the first seven innings for Post 87. He allowed eight runs (seven earned) on 10 hits with two strikeouts and five walks.

Sanders worked the final two innings and took the loss. He allowed four runs with three hits, two walks and two strikeouts.

Chicago White Sox right fielder Carlos Quentin makes a diving catch on a ball hit by the Angels’ Torii Hunter in the first inning of Monday night’s game in Chicago.

Halladay goes the distance again, beats Braves THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA – Roy Halladay pitched his major league-best seventh complete game this season, Greg Dobbs hit a two-run homer and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Monday night.

Halladay (10-7) allowed five hits and struck out seven to record his second straight complete game. The All-Star right-hander outdueled Derek Lowe (97) and needed just 93 pitches to finish.

Chipper Jones homered for the NL East-leading Braves.

The two-time NL champion Phillies, who lost three of four to lowly Pittsburgh over the weekend, need to win this three-game series to avoid losing more ground in the division. They’re 17-23 in the last 40 games and trail Atlanta by four games.

Lowe allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings, striking out six. The sinkerballer gave up only two flyouts.

Lowe was cruising until Jayson Werth hit a one-out single in the sixth.

Dobbs hit the next pitch into the seats in right-center for his second homer and a 2-1 lead.

Dobbs used to be a top pinch-hitter for Philadelphia, but was outrighted to Triple-A last month because he’s struggled badly in that role. He was brought up when Chase Utley and Placido Polanco went on the disabled list last week and is making the most of his opportunity now that he’s getting more at-bats.

Dobbs is 6 for 18 in the last four games.

Juan Castro, who came in as a defensive replacement for Dobbs at third base in the eighth, gave the Phillies a 3-1 lead with a two-out, RBI single. Castro delivered after missing a suicide squeeze and Raul Ibanez was tagged out.

Jones gave the Braves a 1-0 lead in the first when he hit the first pitch he saw from Halladay into the seats in left-center for his sixth homer.

Halladay hasn’t received much run

support from a previously high-powered offense that’s been inconsistent this season. The Phillies have scored a total of 12 runs in Halladay’s seven losses.

6-1 victory over Milwaukee on Monday.

Buster Posey added a solo homer in the eighth for San Francisco, which won for the second time in 10 games.

TIGERS 12, ORIOLES 9 CUBS 9, DIAMONDBACKS 4 PHOENIX – Starlin Castro and Geovany Soto drove in two runs each, Tom Gorzelanny worked around six walks in five innings and the Chicago Cubs struck out 12 in a 9-4 win over the stillstruggling Arizona Diamondbacks.

Chicago roughed up Ian Kennedy (3-7) for four runs the first two innings and answered every Arizona rally to win for just the sixth time in 17 games.

DETROIT – Brandon Inge drove in four runs, Carlos Guillen knocked in three and the Detroit Tigers outscored the Baltimore Orioles early, then held on for a 12-9 victory Monday.

Starters Kevin Millwood of Baltimore and rookie Andy Oliver both were gone by the end of the second inning. The Tigers led 8-7 after the third and managed to keep the lead the rest of the way.

WHITE SOX 9, ANGELS 2 GIANTS 6, BREWERS 1 MILWAUKEE – Brewers shortstop Alcides Escobar committed an error in the seventh inning that allowed the tiebreaking run to score and Aubrey Huff followed with a two-run single, leading the slumping San Francisco Giants to a

CHICAGO – Carlos Quentin hit two late home runs and Gavin Floyd pitched seven solid innings to lead the Chicago White Sox over the Los Angeles Angels 9-2 Monday night.

Dayan Viciedo and Alexei Ramirez also homered for the White Sox.

HiToms fall 7-4 at Forest City ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

FOREST CITY – The Thomasville HiToms entered Monday night’s Coastal Plain League game at Forest City looking for their first victory in the sec-

ond half of the season. When the night ended, the HiToms were still looking.

Forest City used a decisive seventh inning to rally for a 7-4 victory. The Owls improved to 4-3 for the second half. The HiToms dropped to 0-4.

Justin Poovey got the win in relief.

He worked three innings with three hits and two strikeouts. Chase Boruff earned the save. Jonny Hoffman took the loss in relief for the HiToms.

Alex Yarbrough finished 2-for-4 with

a triple, single, RBI and run scored for the HiToms. Teammate Tyler Fredrick went 2-for-4 with a walk.

The HiToms play host to Asheboro tonight at Finch Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.

LeBron remains mum on decision AKRON, Ohio (AP) – A pointed finger, smile, chuckle and head shake. That was all.

If LeBron James has made up his mind, he’s not saying so.

The world must wait.

The NBA’s most wanted man offered no clues about his highly anticipated free agent decision on Monday after making an unexpected appearance – and getting in a few full-court hoop games with good friend Chris Paul – at his Nike skills academy at the University of Akron.

After working out for two hours and then icing both his knees and right elbow for another hour, James, wearing a white T-shirt and his familiar

New York Yankees cap, headed toward the door of Rhodes Arena.

On his way out, he was asked

by The Associated Press if he had anything to say.

James pointed toward a reporter in the balcony, smiled and shook his head in amusement. He then drove away in a white Bentley, one of seven vehicles in a caravan that included Paul, manager Maverick Carter, business partner Rich Paul and security personnel.

Carter also politely declined comment to The AP. James, who is considering offers from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls and at

U.S. Under 17 team routs China, 113-73 HAMBURG, Germany (AP) – James McAdoo, of Norfolk, Va., went 13-for-14 from the field and scored 26 points to lead the United States to a 113-73 victory over China Monday in the U17 World Championship.

Brad Beal, of St. Louis, made five 3-pointers in the

first 15 minutes and finished with 20 points for the U.S. (3-0), which clinched a berth in the medal round quarterfinals. China fell to 0-3. The U.S. closes preliminary round play with games against Egypt (0-3) today and against Serbia (1-2) on Wednesday.

least four other teams, was not expected to appear at the first day of the camp featuring some of the nation’s top high school and college players. However, not only did James show up, he got in a spirited workout that included shooting drills and scrimmages.

James guarded Duke’s Kyle Singler and Dayton’s Chris Wright during the 5-on-5 runs that virtually stopped everyone in the gym. Looking even more fit than usual, James had a few spectacular moves and threw a lob pass to Christian Eyenga, Cleveland’s first-round draft pick in 2009, for a jaw-dropping alley-oop dunk.

If the pressure of a decision that has several franchises and a few cities on hold, James didn’t show it. He joked around with Paul, former Cavs teammate Damon Jones and Cleveland’s Jawad Williams, now a restricted free agent. James also signed a sneaker tossed down to him by a youngster, who after getting it back, walked out in his socks so he wouldn’t mess up the autograph.

James is not expected to make his big announcement until the three-day camp ends on Wednesday, one day before players can officially sign new contracts.

He is scheduled to return to the

camp for work this morning.

The Cavaliers and Bulls are considered the frontrunners to land James, the 25-year-old megastar who has spent his first seven seasons playing in Cleveland, which can offer him roughly $30 million more than any other team.

He’s the biggest domino, but two others have fallen.

On Sunday, Joe Johnson agreed to a six-year contract with Atlanta and the New York Knicks scored big by getting a five-year, $100 million deal with free agent forward Amare Stoudemire, who has already been recruiting James to join him in the Big Apple.

South American surprise Uruguay takes on Dutch

AP

Tyler Farrar of the United States grimaces in pain after crashing during the second stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 201 kilometers (125 miles) with start in Brussels and finish in Spa, Belgium, on Monday.

Crashes abound during rainy stage SPA, Belgium (AP) – Lance Armstrong bloodied his thigh in a tumble to the asphalt Monday, one of dozens of Tour de France riders ensnared in widespread nerve-racking crashes Monday during a rainy second stage won by new race leader Sylvain Chavanel of France .

Armstrong and defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain fell on a slippery descent from the mid-grade Stockeu Pass toward the end of the 125mile run from Brussels to Spa. Both completed the stage and were OK, their teams said.

Chavanel took the yellow jersey from Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara. The Frenchman finished in 4 hours, 40 minutes, 48 seconds, winning a Tour stage for the second time in his career. Armstrong is in fifth place overall, 3:19 behind.

With so many riders downed in crashes, organizers said they briefly considered canceling the stage altogether. But under the race rules, the spills were too spread out to warrant a cancellation.

Armstrong returned to the RadioShack team bus with his leg and hip scraped, an elbow aching, his team outfit torn. Many riders suspect a mixture of motor oil and water on the roads was to blame.

“You had people everywhere. It was surreal. When I got back on my bike ...

I saw crash, after crash, after crash,” Armstrong said, noting riders laid out on the ground. “It was like war.”

Some riders said at least half the pack of almost 200 riders had fallen. A medical report listed 23 as at least slightly injured. Among them, sprint specialists Tyler Farrar of the United States and Robbie McEwen of Australia were taken to a hospital for treatment.

“There was no way to stay on the bike,” Armstrong said. “There was something on the road ... I was scared. I think everybody was scared.”

RadioShack manager Johan Bruyneel said the elbow Armstrong hurt was not the same one the seven-time Tour champion injured during a crash in the Tour of California in May. Armstrong dropped a notch to fifth place and is 3 minutes, 19 seconds back.

Bruyneel said Armstrong’s teammates Andreas Kloeden and Levi Leipheimer also fell.

“Riding downhill was almost like ice skating,” Bruyneel said. “Almost half of the peloton crashed today.”

Equally unlucky was 2009 Tour runner-up Andy Schleck. The Luxembourg rider appeared to injure his elbows in another spill. He returned to the race and rejoined the pack.

Chavanel, who rides for Quick Step, joined a small early breakaway group and then gradually drew away. Cancellara, like Armstrong and Contador,

TOUR DE FRANCE AT A GLANCE

---

SPA, Belgium (AP) – A brief look at Monday’s second stage of the Tour de France: Stage: A 124.9-mile ride from Brussels to Spa that followed some parts of the Walloon Arrow and Liege-Bastogne-Liege one-day classics.

Winner: Sylvain Chavanel of France.

Chavanel earned a solo win on a day that featured several high-profile riders crashing in a slippery downhill. Riders involved in the wrecks included seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong, defending champion Alberto Contador and the Schleck brothers. They all escaped serious injuries.

Yellow jersey: Chavanel, who now leads previous front-runner Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland by 2 minutes and 57 seconds. Armstrong dropped to fifth, 3:19 back, and Contador is seventh.

Quote of the Day: “It was dangerous all day. In the downhill of the Stockeu, it was something I had never seen before. It was like ice skating. Nobody could stay on his bike. There was people everywhere. I’ve seen guys off their bikes and sill crashing. It was like ice.”

– Johan Bruyneel, Armstrong’s sports director at RadioShack.

Next stage: Today’s third stage is a 132.36-mile ride from Wanze, Belgium, to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut in France. The stage features four cobblestone sections in the last 18.64 miles and more crashes are expected. In total, there will be 8.2 miles of cobblestones. Expect some of the main contenders to lose time.

trailed by 3:56 in the main pack. Armstrong placed 54th and Contador was 81st.

Chavanel had started the stage in 87th place overall, 59 seconds behind Cancellara. He was choked with emotion afterward.

“Pure happiness,” he said.

Cancellara now trails Chavanel by 2:57, with Germany’s Tony Martin in third place, 3:07 back. Britain’s David Millar is fourth, 3:17 back, followed by Armstrong. Contador is seventh, 3:24 behind.

After two straight stages with multiple crashes, Today’s route takes riders on what had already been billed as the most treacherous in the first week one – a 132-mile ride from Wanze Arenberg to Porte du Hainaut, featuring seven bumpy cobblestone patches.

The Tour ends July 25 in Paris.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) – The World Cup turned sour for South America in the quarterfinals. Only one team from the continent advanced – Uruguay, the least likely of all to make the final four.

Yet here the Celeste are, ready to play the Netherlands today for a spot in the World Cup final. The last nation to make the 32-team field, needing a playoff against Costa Rica to get in, Uruguay is alive and well in South Africa.

“Uruguay is a strong side and we will have to be very concentrated,” Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk said.

“They are fighters, survivors.”

Indeed. From that two-game playoff with Costa Rica to winning their firstround group and not allowing a goal, the Uruguayans have made an impressive showing. They punctuated it with wins over South Korea 2-1 in the second round and Ghana 4-2 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in the quarterfinals.

Tough as they have been, the Uruguayans needed the “hand of Suarez” to stay in the tournament.

Striker Luis Suarez blocked a Ghana shot with his arm at the goal line in the final seconds of extra time on Friday night. He drew a red card and is suspended for the semifinal, but Asamoah Gyan hit the crossbar with the ensuing penalty kick.

Reprieved, Uruguay won the shootout, and Suarez was hailed as a hero back home.

But he’s also been accused by some of cheating. That annoys coach Oscar Tabarez. “It’s a shame that people are speculating that,” he said. “It (the handball) was a natural reaction). The player didn’t know that they were going to miss the penalty.”

The young forward, who has three goals in the tournament, said it was “complicated” to be ejected from a World Cup game. “But the way in which I was sent off – truth is, it was worth it,” he said.

Truth is, every player in the tourna-

Capsule for today’s semifinal match at the World Cup (FIFA rankings in parentheses):

NETHERLANDS (4) VS. URUGUAY (16), CAPE TOWN, 2:30 P.M. The Netherlands made the semifinals with one of its biggest wins, a 2-1 comeback victory over Brazil, the tournament favorite and five-time world champion. Uruguay’s quarterfinal win came in a penalty kick shootout over Ghana after a 1-1 draw.

Netherlands: The Dutch got two goals from Wesley Sneijder, one of their biggest stars in the tournament, to upset the Brazilians. Robin van Persie has been cleared to play after injuring his arm, but the Netherlands will be without right back Gregory van der Wiel and defensive midfielder Nigel de Jong. Both are suspended after getting two yellow cards.

Uruguay: The Celeste were saved by the hand of Suarez in the quarterfinals. Striker Luis Suarez blocked a Ghana shot on the goal line with his arm in the final seconds of extra time.

He drew a red card, but the ensuing penalty kick was missed and Uruguay won the shootout 4-2. Suarez is suspended for this match.

Notable Fact: Both these countries know their way around the World Cup final, but neither has been there in a long time. Uruguay won the first World Cup in 1930 and again in 1950.

The Netherlands lost in 1974 to West Germany and 1978 to Argentina, both games on the home turf of the winner.

ment would have done the same thing to keep his team from certain elimination. But without Suarez, the last South American team standing after Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay went out in the quarterfinals is a long shot to win its third title and first since 1950.

All eyes on Tiger at Irish golf celebrity pro-am ADARE, Ireland (AP) – Tiger Woods will headline an Irish charity tournament this week, though it could be his last with the No. 1 ranking.

Woods is preparing for next week’s British Open at St. Andrews and could lose the top ranking for the first time in five years before then.

Rival Phil Mickelson, ranked No. 2, missed a chance at the U.S. Open to move up the rankings. He’ll get another opportunity at the PGA-ranked Scottish Open this weekend at Loch Lomond. Woods is skipping that event.

Instead Woods will play in the J.P. McManus Invitational Pro-Am, a twoday event in Adare that started Monday.

Woods flew overnight by private jet to make his afternoon tee time in Ireland.

Every five years, Irish horse racing billionaire McManus brings together mixed groups of pros, Irish business leaders and Hollywood celebrities for an event expected to raise more than $37 million for dozens of Irish charities.

This year’s celebrity golfers include actors Michael Douglas, Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grant, Aidan Quinn, Kyle MacLachlan and Peter Gallagher; English Premier League football coaches Harry Redknapp and Martin O’Neill; and Irish boy band Westlife.

Ireland’s Padraig Harrington, who won the last McManus trophy in 2005, said he expected Woods to rebound quickly at St. Andrews, where Woods won two of his three British Opens in 2000 and 2005.

“There’s no doubt, any time Tiger hits form at all, he’s comfortably the favorite to win any of the majors,” said Harrington, who also was teeing off Monday at Adare. “St. Andrews sets up very well for him.”

Like Woods, Harrington’s skipping the Scottish Open but plans to head straight to St. Andrews by Friday for at least two weekend practice runs.

“He spins the ball very well,” Harrington said of Woods. “He’s the No. 1 player at getting the ball to finish where it lands. St. Andrews requires that so much because of the firmness of the greens. So I wouldn’t write him off, that’s for sure.”

Harrington, who has struggled since winning three majors in 2007-08, said St. Andrews would become “a lottery” if winds gust throughout the fourday event July 15-18. “The greens are firmer than any we’ll play for the rest of the year, and the pin positions are exceptionally tight, so you’ve got to hit the ball into the greens very high,” he said. “Obviously if it’s very windy, that’s not so easy to go. It becomes guesswork if you have to throw the ball up in the air into a strong wind.”

Federer at No. 3 for 1st time since November ’03 WIMBLEDON, England (AP) – Roger Federer fell to No. 3 in the ATP rankings Monday, the first time since November 2003 he’s been that low.

The 16-time Grand Slam champion’s quarterfinal loss at Wimbledon, following seven consecutive appearances in the final, dropped him one spot. He trails No. 1 Rafael Nadal and new No. 2 Novak Djokovic.

Federer was No. 1 earlier this season, but he was overtaken in the rankings by Nadal on June 7, after the French Open. Nadal won his

fifth title at Roland Garros, while Federer lost in the quarterfinals there, too. That left Federer one week shy of tying Pete Sampras’ career record of 286 total weeks at No. 1.

Nadal’s second title at Wimbledon, a year after missing the tournament because of bad knees, increased his lead atop the rankings. Runner-up Tomas Berdych, who upset Federer at the All England Club, climbed from 13th to a career-high No. 8 by reaching his first Grand Slam final.

Andy Roddick, who lost the 2009 Wimble-

don title match to sixtime champion Federer, dropped two spots to No. 9 after losing in the fourth round. The man who beat him, Yen-hsun Lu of Taiwan, leaped 40 spots to No. 42.

Like Nadal, Wimbledon women’s champion Serena Williams remains at No. 1. But her older sister, Venus, dropped from No. 2 to No. 4. Jelena Jankovic moved to second, with Caroline Wozniacki third.

Vera Zvonareva’s run to her first major final allowed her to rise from No. 21 to No. 9.

Triad biodiesel company faces tough times MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GREENSBORO – You’d think with all the fuss over America’s dependence on foreign oil and the mess the BP spill is making in the Gulf of Mexico, the nation would be doing everything possible to support alternative ways of fueling our cars and trucks.

That’s certainly what local businessman Gabe Neeriemer thought. But his trust that federal offi-

cials would follow that line of logic soon might cost him his fortune along with two years of hard work.

“I don’t want to be a failure,” Neeriemer said, sitting behind his desk at Patriot Biodiesel on North Chimney Rock Road. “But I’ve talked to friends who are business people and they say, ‘Look, it’s not you that failed. It’s Congress, government officials and the community that failed.”’

Neeriemer is staring at the possible end of the bio-

fuel business he and several partners started in February 2008 to make the alternative fuel from used vegetable oil, collected primarily from area restaurants.

There’s nothing wrong with his product; it burns cleaner than regular diesel.

What’s out of whack is the dollar-a-gallon tax break that biodiesel blenders such as Patriot were getting from the federal government as an incentive to make their product competitive with more common petroleumbased diesel.

As happens periodically to many tax breaks, the one for biodiesel expired at the end of December.

The subsidy is not controversial, but Congress failed to act.

Most recently, it was part of the jobs bill that also included an extension for thousands of unemployed workers whose benefits are running out. The bill was stymied in the U.S. Senate by partisan wrangling unrelated to biodiesel.

Neeriemer watched the bill closely, and when

it failed, he knew one of two things was likely in the cards for his company: either shutting down temporarily in hopes the subsidy will be revived soon or closing for good and selling off all assets.

He hasn’t decided which course is best, but he knows crunch time is approaching: “Our options are limited because the industry is dead.”

Neeriemer is not alone as a biodiesel maker finding it difficult to stay open, said Anne Tazewell, man-

ager of the alternative fuels program for the N.C. Solar Center at N.C. State.

“This is a huge issue across the U.S. and across North Carolina,” said Tazewell, whose program supports alternative energy of all types.

Biodiesel makers also are struggling because the price of petroleumbased diesel has come way down from its peak of nearly $4.50 a gallon a couple years back.

“So, it’s a double whammy,” she said.

Greece upbeat as crisis ebbs

AP

Swiss lawmaker Claude Ruey watches the World Cup soccer match between Spain and Switzerland on his computer during a debate in Switzerland’s parliament in Bern, Switzerland.

World Cup action brings many offices to standstill BERLIN (AP) – Told they couldn’t watch the World Cup on the job, Italian auto workers went on strike – conveniently, a half hour before game time.

German companies set up office viewing areas to keep employees from defecting on game days.

And Brazil? Brazil basically shuts down when its team plays, with businesses and schools closed and elective surgery put off so people can be in front of a TV. The soccer tournament is the world’s most watched sporting event, and the fact that it comes around only once every four years is probably fortunate for anyone trying to get some work done.

One study suggests the German economy, Europe’s largest, loses more than $8 billion in productivity, about 0.27 percent of gross domestic product, during the monthlong tournament.

Surveys in Britain predict output losses there of $1.5 billion to $2.3 billion.

And that’s just two of the 214

countries and territories where the 2006 World Cup drew the cumulative viewership of 26 billion people. That’s a lot of eyes not on the job.

Some workplaces – particu-

One study suggests the German economy, Europe’s largest, loses more than $8 billion in productivity during the monthlong tournament. larly government ones – are strictly watching that employees aren’t rooting when they should be working. Italy’s Renato Brunetta, minister for public administration, even warned government workers ahead of the tournament: “Fun is one thing, work is another.”

Many other bosses seem only

too happy to allow the World Cup into the workplace – perhaps because they share their subordinates’ football obsession. In the Netherlands, whose team knocked Brazil out in the quarterfinals, the entire country’s quitting time was unofficially moved forward to 1 p.m. on Friday so fans could watch the game.

Adam Gardner, a 31-year-old custodian at Britain’s Cambridge University, said his boss gave him permission to come in early and leave early to root for England – then headed out to watch the game himself.

“A lot of people did. The place was empty,” Gardner said.

German insurer Allianz SE set up viewing areas in its Munich offices for Germany’s match with Serbia and allowed all interested to watch it – as long as they punched out beforehand so they weren’t watching on company time. About 10 percent – 1,100 workers – took the company up on the offer.

“It is really motivating if employees are allowed to watch the

World Cup during their work day at the company,” Allianz spokeswoman Vera Werner said. “Some of the managers also came along to watch the game and they saw it as a way to boost their co-workers’ team spirit.”

Researchers at Germany’s Hohenheim University estimate that the average German will devote 15 minutes of work time daily to the World Cup through the tournament. That includes watching games, checking scores on the Internet and taking part in office betting pools.

The World Cup is not exclusively an economic drain. Economists say it boosts consumer spending for things like fan paraphernalia, party supplies and bigger ticket items like widescreen televisions.

Britain’s Centre for Economics and Business Research estimated that despite productivity losses, there will be a net $2.43 billion short-run boost to that country’s GDP in June and July thanks to increased consumer expenditure and business spending on advertising.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Debt-hobbled Greece may see a slightly milder than expected recession this year and aims to issue bonds again on international markets in 2011, the finance minister said Monday.

George Papaconstantinou said efforts to slash the gaping budget deficit from 13.6 in 2009 to 8.1 percent of gross domestic product in 2010 remain on track.

“We believe we will attain and perhaps exceed the target of 8.1 percent at the end of 2010,” Papaconstantinou said. Greece is committed to bringing the deficit to under 3 percent of annual output in 2014.

Papaconstantinou said a below-target increase in revenues should be offset in part by sales and tobacco tax increases, as well as property tax payments.

Greece narrowly avoided defaulting on its loans in May, after being pledged euro110 billion in bailout loans from the European Union and International Monetary Fund.

In return, the government is slashing spending and pushing through sweeping pension and labor reforms – angering labor unions, which are planning another general strike Thursday.

Papaconstantinou said initial forecasts of the recession-bound economy shrinking by 4 percent of GDP this year now appear “excessively pessimistic.”

“The drop was 2.5 percent in the first quarter, and our first indications for the second quarter show the figure at around 3 percent,” he said. “Based on that, and knowing that there may be a worsening in the third quarter as many of the (austerity) measures kick in, we are in a position to believe that the year will end somewhat better.”

The government expects the economy to start expanding again in 2012.

Mercedes sales up 13 percent BERLIN (AP) – Sales of Mercedes-Benz cars were up 13.2 percent in the year to June as strong demand for the premium brand in China and the United States helped drive growth, parent company Daimler AG said Monday.

Mercedes-Benz sold 113,300 cars worldwide last month, making it the best June performance in its history, Daimler said.

The premium brand’s sales in China were up 177 percent last month to 13,700 cars, U.S. sales were up 20.5

percent to 18,300, and sales in Japan gained 26.5 percent compared with June last year to reach 3,400.

There also was strong growth in Brazil, Russia and India. However, sales in Western Europe were down.

Tar balls from Gulf oil spill turn up in Texas TEXAS CITY, Texas (AP) – A Texas official said Monday that tar balls from the Gulf oil spill were found on a pair of state beaches, becoming the first known evidence that gushing crude from the Deepwater Horizon well has reached all the Gulf states.

The amount of tar balls is tiny in comparison to what has coated beaches so far in the hardest-hit parts of the Gulf coast in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

About five gallons of tar balls were found Saturday on the Bolivar Peninsula, northeast of Galveston, said Capt.

Marcus Woodring, the Coast Guard commander for the Houston/Galveston sector. Another two gallons were found Sunday on the peninsula and Galveston Island.

Woodring said the consistency of the tar balls indicates it’s possible they could have been

spread to Texas water by ships that have worked out in the spill.

Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski said he believed the tar balls were a fluke, rather than a sign of what’s to come. “This is good news,” he said.

“The water looks good.

We’re cautiously optimistic this is an anomaly.”

TMT: MORE TESTING NEEDED FOR SKIMMER NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Choppy seas have temporarily foiled attempts to see if a giant oil skimmer can be a silver bullet for Gulf cleanup efforts.

Bob Grantham, spokesman for Taiwanese shipping firm TMT, says the company’s vessel, dubbed “A Whale,” will need further testing off the coast of Louisiana.

Grantham said in an email Monday that conditions in the Gulf over the weekend were too choppy to get definitive answers on the vessel’s capability.

Temperatures soar to near 100 in East NEW YORK (AP) – The heat wasn’t going to keep Jerryll Freels inside on his vacation.

The 28-year-old made his way through Times Square on Monday, combating the hot weather with a wet white washcloth over his head and a water bottle in hand.

“It’s hot, but I know how to stay cool,” said Freels, visiting from Minneapolis.

A string of hot days were expected this week, with temperatures en route to 100-plus degrees in some places. Temperatures reached into at least the 90s Monday from Maine to Texas, into the Southwest and Death Valley.

In the East, warm air is “sitting over the top of us, and it’s not really going to budge much for the next day or two,” said Brian Korty, a meteorologist with

the National Weather Service in Camp Springs, Md. He said after that, a system coming in off the Atlantic Ocean would bring in cooler temperatures.

Monday was a day off for many to mark Sunday’s Independence Day holiday. The extended weekend aided utilities by lowering demand for power, said Lissette Santana, a spokeswoman for PPL Electric Utilities in Allentown, Pa. For others, though, there was no getting away from the heat.
