Realtors praise extension of tax credit deadline BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE
The original closing deadline, June 30, has been extended to Sept. 30 for homes under contract by April 30.
HIGH POINT – Real estate agents are praising yet another deadline extension regarding the homebuyer’s tax credit, though this one only applies to those who met the original application deadline. Homebuyers who had a home under contract by April 30 now have more time to close on the property thanks to an extension passed by Congress. The original closing deadline, June 30, has been extended to Sept. 30.
Ken Wall, president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, said the extension was needed because foreclosed homes and short sells, or properties sold for less than what the Wall original owner owes to the bank, were commonly sold under the tax credit and often take more paperwork and a longer period of time to close. Lenders also found themselves

Fire guts residence

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – A local family is seeking help from American Red Cross after a fire gutted an east High Point home Monday evening. The fire charred the interior of the house at 508 Warbler Court, which is in a subdivision near where Cedrow Drive crosses over U.S. 311. The woman and two children who reside in the house weren’t home when the fire happened, and there were no injuries, said Capt. Denita Lynch of the High Point Fire Department. The fire started in the den, Lynch said. It took firefighters about a half an hour to bring the blaze under control. When firefighters arrived at the scene shortly after 7 p.m. Monday, smoke was visible from the structure, Lynch said. An acrid odor of smoke still permeated the air around the house Tuesday, and personal belongings were scattered in the yard. The house’s interior was thoroughly burned, and white vinyl siding had peeled away from the brick-frame structure because of the intense heat. Damages to the house and contents are estimated at $46,000, Lynch said. The cause of the fire was under

Census: State school funding ranks low BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – North Carolina’s spending per student remains near the bottom in national rankings, according to a new government report. The state spent $7,996 per student during the 2007-08 school year to rank 45th. Only six other states spent less: Mississippi at $7,901, Tennessee at $7,739, Oklahoma at $7,685, Arizona at $7,608, Idaho at $6,931 and Utah at $5,765. The national spending average was $10,259 per student, a 6.1 percent increase over the previous

year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The figures don’t reflect recent budget cuts affecting school systems nationwide because of the economic downturn. New York spent the most on
each elementary, middle and high school student at $17,173. The numbers come from the Public Education Finances 2008 report, which was released June 28. States spending nearly as much as New York per student in 200708 were New Jersey at $16,491, Alaska at $14,630, the District of Columbia at $14,594, Vermont at $14,300 and Connecticut at $13,848, according to the report. Nationally, 48.3 percent of education funding comes from state revenues while 36.6 comes from local sources and 8.1 percent is provided by the federal government. The state provides 58.8

percent of the money for education while 32 percent comes from local taxes and 9.1 percent comes from the federal government. Public education is the single largest category of state and local government expenditures, Lisa Blumerman, chief of the governments division at the U.S. Census Bureau, said in a statement. Nationwide, teacher salaries make up the largest spending category for public elementary and secondary education, totaling $203.5 billion in 2008. All 15,000 public school districts contributed data used for the study.

Former Thomasville officer loses bid to get job back BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
THOMASVILLE – A former Thomasville police officer appealing his termination to the Thomasville City Council was unsuccessful Tuesday in trying to get his old job back. City Manager Kelly Craver said the City Council decided to uphold the city’s decision to terminate Shawn Shoemaker. The decision was made following a closed session at a special-called meeting just for personnel. Craver and police Chief Jeff Insley declined to comment on why Shoemaker was terminat-
ed. Shoemaker, a 9-year veteran of the department, had last been assigned to the department’s Field Operations Bureau. “It’s all protected under personnel law,” Insley said. “I’m not really up to saying anything.” Shoemaker’s salary was approximately $40,000, according to the city of Thomasville. He was terminated on May 25. Councilmen Ronald Bratton and Raleigh York Jr. also declined to comment on Shoemaker’s termination. “Shoemaker had some problems when I was there,” said Bratton, the city’s former police chief. “I don’t think it was any-

thing major, but he had some issues when I was chief.” Bratton declined to comment any further. Craver said the city of Thomasville’s grievance policy goes to the department head, then to the city manager, and then to City Council. “Nobody can remember anyone who has ever taken it as far as council,” the city manager said. Shoemaker could not be reached for comment by The High Point Enterprise on Tuesday. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657
Senators view video critical of Alcoa plant RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina senators have watched a public television reporter’s video interviewing critics on the environmental impact of a closed Alcoa Inc. aluminum plant. Members of a Senate
committee watched the video Tuesday a day after the station turned over the footage under subpoena. University of North Carolina Television agreed to turn over the video which had not been
aired because as a public agency it may not fall under a state law protecting reporters from revealing information that hasn’t been printed or broadcast. Legislators are debating Gov. Beverly Perdue’s ef-
fort to stop Alcoa’s bid to renew its license to operate electricity-generating dams along the Yadkin River since the company’s plant is closed. Alcoa says it complies with all government regulations.
NC Symphony breaks even for latest concert season RALEIGH (AP) – The North Carolina Symphony broke even for the concert season that just ended and its leaders hope the orchestra has turned a corner financially. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported private donors gave more money, a musicians union made large concessions and lawmakers gave more aid. “Hopefully, the very worst is behind us,” said David Chambless Worters, the symphony’s president and chief executive officer. “The symphony has a long journey before us,” Worters said. “But it is a tremendous result for 2009-2010. We are very
pleased that we were able to turn the corner.” The symphony still owes money, but less than it did a year ago. It owed nearly $2.8 million to the bank as of June 30, about $1 million less than its debt a year ago. Though based in Raleigh, the symphony conducts concerts statewide, performing in concert halls and high school gyms as part of its educational mission. An $8 million special private fundraising drive brought a $1.5 million challenge grant from the Legislature. The musicians union agreed to a 19 percent salary cut from their contract in the coming season. Dona-

tions and sponsorships increased during the past year to $3.1 million from $2.3 million the previous year. That includes $147,000 raised in a benefit concert in June headlined by jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis of Durham. “We are enormously grateful to everyone who made it possible — our ticket buyers and almost 4,000 donors,” Worters said. But budget cuts accounted for much of the improving financial picture. The symphony’s expenses were $11.6 million in 2009-2010 down from a $14.1 million budget that had initially been proposed for the year. The
budget for 2008-09 was $13.6 million. In May, the musicians union agreed to a 19 percent salary cut from what they had been scheduled to receive in their contract during the coming season, decreasing the base pay for a symphony musician from $59,400 a year to $47,956 a year. Conductor Grant Llewellyn and other symphony employees also took pay cuts, ranging from 10 percent to 30 percent. The symphony also moved offices to a less expensive location, postponed costly guest artists and declined to stage elaborate musical pieces requiring extra musicians.

overwhelmed with a rush of people trying to take advantage of the tax credit before it ran out, he said. The National Association of Realtors reported there were about 180,000 people who had qualified for the credit and performed all of the appropriate procedures on time but probably wouldn’t make the June 30 deadline. “This extension is important because there are buyers who worked hard to get homes under contract by April but, through circumstances that are no fault of their own, they would not have been able to close by the end of June,” Wall said. “We would have had some people that were counting on the tax credit to be very upset.” The extension comes during what is usually the busiest time of the year for the housing market.

BOTTOM LINE
DULUTH, Minn. (AP) – Police responding to a report of a driver brandishing a gun in southeastern Minnesota found themselves
here to spur sales like it was last summer, but lenders are busy processing the surge of buyers created by the tax credit, and phones are still otherwise ringing at real estate offices. According to the HPRAR’s monthly home sales reports, compiled by Triad Multiple Listings Services, home sales in the city have increased every month since February. Sales for June are scheduled to be released next week. “We’re still seeing activity as far as buyers calling,” Wall said. “There may have been a slight lull right after the tax credit ended, but that was part of an illusion created by so many people pushing to get their deals done in time. The market still appears to be holding its own.”

Boundless expansion of government is the issue The argument is not big government vs. no government. Everyone agrees with basic, proper governmental function to maintain social order. And it is only fair that those who paid in should receive Social Security and Medicare benefits, although these growing programs are broke and the piper’s gonna have to be paid at some point. It is the rapid, boundless expansion of government that’s worrisome. The burden on taxpayers for government involvement in fields that are none of its business is crushing. The current administration has already created more than 150 new federal agencies. What are their budgets? How many staff to fulfill what vital purpose that is not being duplicated already? And the waste! Stimulus money North Carolina received to “help create jobs ... and provide relief to families” (said our governor) has gone for things that taxpayers across the country would probably not appreciate footing the bill for. Maybe you wouldn’t, either. Two grants Wake Forest University received: over $70,000 to study the effects of cocaine on monkeys and about $150,000 to see if yoga affects menopausal hot flashes. Nearly $500,000 was to be used to get the message out to the public about the benefits of the stimulus (propaganda?) even though agencies to report on it were already created at both federal and state levels. Arts groups across the state received close to $1 million. I participate in the arts. But many

Local elections filings spark interest
M
uch of the attention in this year’s elections will focus on races for the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. But here at home, it’s starting to look as though High Point city elections are going to produce some excitement, too. The filing period for city elections in High Point and Archdale opened last Friday and goes through July 16. Candidates, especially High Pointers, were ready to run. Only four incumbents filed for re-election in Archdale Friday, but in High Point, it became clear that the mayor’s post and several City Council seats likely will be contested. On Friday, Dwayne Hemingway-El filed for the High Point mayor’s post, setting up a race with Mayor Becky Smothers, who filed Tuesdsay seeking re-election. In the at-large races for two seats, incumbent Latimer Alexander and challengers Regina Chahal and Britt Moore filed. Incumbent Mary Lou Blakeney says she’ll seek re-election. As of Friday’s filings, the only other sure race was for the Ward 6 Council seat, with Will Armfield and Jim Corey filing for the seat to be vacated by John Faircloth, who won election to the N.C. House in May. But several other City Council seats likely will see contests. In Ward 1 Jeffrey Golden, in Ward 2 Jill Harwood and in Ward 5 Geoffery Shull filed for seats now held by Bernita Sims, Foster Douglas and Chris Whitley, respectively. It’s likely all three of those seats will be contested. In Ward 3, Mike Pugh filed for re-election. In Ward 4, A.B. Henley filed for the seat that will be vacated by Bill Bencini, who won a Guilford County Commissioners seat in May. This first-day rush of filings in High Point indicates local politics could be quite interesting this year. So it’s up to High Point residents to tune in and do their parts by learning about the candidates and turning out at the polls on Nov. 2. Archdale residents should do the same, but we hope filings to come will produce plenty to excite them. High Point’s and Archdale’s city elections were changed to even-numbered years four years ago to try to simulate voter interest. The verdict on that move still is out, but in High Point, at least, it looks as though the move stimulated candidate interest, and that’s a start.

Convention (SBC) (16 million members). The second-largest is the United Methodist Church (UMC) (10 million).” I have great respect for Nickens and hope he does not think Catholics are not Christians. Instead, I hope he properly understands that the Catholic Church is not a denomination, it is The Church. Founded in 33 A.D. by Christ, built upon Peter (Matthew 16:18) and the apostles, guided by the Holy Spirit (John 14:16) through their successors, the pope and the bishops, the Catholic Church today in the United States is about 70 million members or 25 percent of the population. She adds about an average of 1 million children through baptism and 120,000 adults a year through RCIA. Christianity was united until the major East-West schism in 1054 A.D. All Eastern Christians have reunited, at least in part,
with the Eastern Catholics numbering about 515,000 in the United states today. She teaches the same beliefs as those taught by the apostles and believed by the early Christians as found in the early Christian writings of the first centuries (Ignatius, Augustine, Tertullian, Justin, Irenaeus, Athanasius, etc.) and worships using the same basic liturgical rites as the original Christians. Southern Baptists (founded in 1845) is the largest of the 19 major Baptist groups today which were founded originally in 1609 by John Smyth. The idea that the Baptist church originated with John the Baptist actually was conceived by James Pendleton and James Graves in the 1800s. We of course know Martin Luther split from Catholic unity in 1517, establishing Lutheranism and King Henry split from Catholic unity in 1581 establishing Anglicanism, of which a large chunk is now seeking Catholic reunion.

A summer of discontent heats up for Obama resident Obama has had a rather challenging start to the Summer of 2010: Gen. McChrystal’s remarks to Rolling Stone magazine and the resulting shift of NATO control in Afghanistan to Gen. Petraeus; the continuation of the high-profile and painful BP oil spill; the Elena Kagan Supreme Court nomination hearings; and the move by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to enact strict immigration control policies within her overwhelmed state. In it all, the president has had the opportunity to step up and re-assert himself after a bad few months for him politically. And in part, he was able to do just that. His pick of Gen. Petraeus to step in for Gen. McChrystal was the smart move from a political and military perspective; however, it opened a wound within his party that he will most assuredly face in December when the issue of our Afghanistan policy is once again debated. Gen, Petraeus would not publicly commit to the merits of a July 2011 timeline as many Democrats have been demanding. The administration knew that the general would sail through his nomination and it could not have gone much better than it did – 99-0! However, they merely tabled the debate that will come later this year when the likes of MoveOn.Org, Sens. Durbin, Schumer and Reid and Speaker Pelosi once again make their demands for withdrawal public. And this time, they will be able to fight that fight without the threat of looming mid-term elections – possibly putting the president on the defensive as he turns his attention to his own reelection effort. The BP oil spill continues to weigh as an anchor that will not release itself from the hull of this administration any time soon. We are more than 70 days into the spill, and oil continues to flow into the gulf at an alarming rate – and, unfortunately for the president, this flow is continually televised in a manner that rightfully stokes the ire of Americans who cannot understand why the federal government and BP cannot get things right. All the while, too many hardworking Americans on our Gulf Coast are losing money, and

War, economy, heat may have sucked spirit out of Fourth of July
FOUR VIEWS
---
I
’m writing this on the Fourth of July – well, more like the 5th. It’s quiet outside. The lawn chairs have been folded up. The sparklers have been discarded. Everyone’s gone home. I remember several Fourths where we all turned up at the lake, only to be rained out. Kids threw petulant little fits about the weather. It was disappointing, for sure. Somehow, this particular Fourth of July, clear and pretty though it was, seems more anticlimactic than any of the ones that were marred by storm clouds. A friend who clerks a desk downtown said that he got asked all week about his plans for the holiday. Everyone seemed relieved when he said he didn’t really have any. People seemed tired, he said. They wanted reassurance that they weren’t the only ones who didn’t feel like dressing up in red, white, and blue and oohing over pyrotechnics. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s just that this week has broken heat records, and everybody wants an excuse
Nobody wants to make legislation. They just want some face time on cable television. to stay inside with the air conditioning. But I feel like maybe it’s a little bit more than that. As of June, the U.S. has spent 104 months at war in Afghanistan. Vietnam, now the second-longest war in American history, lasted 103 months. Let me put that into perspective for you: America went to war when I was in fourth grade. I just graduated from high school a few weeks ago. We’re supposed to start pulling out of Afghanistan by July 2011, but sometimes it feels like we’ll never be really gone. The last memory I have that takes place in a time of peace, after all, involves a heartfelt argument with my best friend over who had the best Furby.
But not a lot of people think about the war on a day-to-day basis. It isn’t like the 1940s. No Victory Gardens. No tin can drives. No draft. If the prolonged U.S. involvement in AfghaniTEEN stan contributes to the VIEW national exhaustion, it isn’t on a conscious Meredith level. Jones I think a bigger part of ■■■it is the economy. Other generations can remember their youth in the club kids of the ’80s, the flower children of the ’60s, the flappers of the ’20s. I don’t know what movement will characterize my generation. We don’t really have the energy that movement-making requires. The endless search for a job takes a lot of time and effort. More than that, even – more than the awful feeling of watching the industries you hoped to go into collapse under the weight of new, outsourceable technology and debilitating competition from overseas – it’s that we’re so divided over social issues. Republicans versus Democrats, day in, day out. Nobody wants to make legislation. They just want some face time on cable television. And it’s been that way for so long that I think everybody’s just tired of arguing. The very first letter I ever wrote to a newspaper I wrote in the fourth grade. I said I wished people would stop slinging mud and try to talk to each other. I said it made me sad that kids ended friendships because their parents belonged to different political parties. That was over 104 months ago. Now they’ve just invented a new app for the iPhone. Quick talking points for Republicans and Democrats each, within easy reach during a political disagreement, to ensure that the argument can continue indefinitely. Yeah. Or maybe it really is just the temperature. Teen View columnist MEREDITH JONES is a senior at the Early College at Guilford.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with President Barack Obama in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington Tuesday.
Obama, Netanyahu commit to peace
NEW YORK (AP) – Queen Elizabeth II has placed a wreath at the site of the Sept. 11 attacks in her first visit to New York City in more than 30 years. The 84-year-old British monarch braved 100-degree heat Tuesday to pay respects at ground zero near the footprint of the World Trade Center’s south tower. The queen then visited a British garden to honor the 67 Britons killed in the 2001 attack. She addressed the United Nations earlier.
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought to soothe rocky relations on Tuesday, declaring that any talk of a rift is unfounded. Obama said the U.S.-Israeli bond is “unbreakable.� “The United States is committed to Israel’s security,� Obama said as the two leaders addressed reporters in the Oval Office. “We are committed to that special bond. And we are going to do what’s required to back that up, not just with words, but with
actions.� For the Israeli leader’s part, Netanyahu said of solving years of strife with Palestinians: “We’re committed to that peace. I’m committed to that peace.� And he said that reports of the demise of the U.S.-Israel relationship are “flat wrong.� “There’s a depth and richness of this relationship that is expressed every day,� Netanyahu said before the two leaders headed into a working lunch. Trying to add a sense of urgency, Netanyahu said he and Obama discussed specific steps
that could be taken in the coming weeks to move the peace process forward, without elaborating. “When I say the next few weeks, that’s what I mean,� he said. “The president means that too.� Obama hailed Israel’s recent decision to greatly ease its 3year blockade of the Gaza Strip as “real progress.� And he said he believes Netanyahu wants peace with the Palestinians and is serious about resuming the face-to-face Mideast peace talks that broke off in December 2008.

Uncle Sam Jam draws record crowd
WHO’S NEWS
----
BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The Uncle Sam Jam at Oak Hollow Festival Park saw upwards of 20,000 people on Sunday celebrating our nation’s birthday while enjoying food, rides, music and a spectacular fireworks display. Outside of the park, Richard Shore, city recreation supervisor, estimates there were a number of people who also enjoyed the show. “There were probably at least 20,000 more out in the surrounding neighborhoods and on the roadways who viewed the fireworks,” Shore said. Uncle Sam Jam saw record-breaking numbers this year that slightly bested its previous numbers and also was host to a few additional vendors. Shaggy Maggie and The Attractions provided a variety of music for attendees to enjoy while perusing the vendors and rides. The weather also cooperated nicely with the event. “Highs were in the upper 80s to low 90s,” Shore said. Once the sun set, the cooler temperatures provided a comfortable atmosphere for the grand finale of the evening – the Plexplosion fireworks sponsored by North State Communications. Attendees enjoyed the amenities and left without a scratch or fender-bender. Typically, cars begin heading out before the fireworks to try to beat the traffic jam that is inevitable with crowds of that size. The slow and steady stream of cars was managed by the High Point Police Department to prevent any accidents from occurring on what could have been a hectic and hairy situation. Officer Greg Dupke, who was in charge of traffic for the Uncle Sam Jam, said despite the high number of vehicles, no accidents occurred. “Every year, traffic around the area is pretty rough,” Dupke said. “It takes about an hour to get the park unloaded and the surrounding lots.” The parking lots at both Festival Park and at the overlook were both full and were closed off once meeting capacity, and yet still traffic “ran perfectly smooth,” Dupke said. Shore said some of his personal highlights of the event were “the excellent fireworks show, great entertainment and working with the volunteer groups.” He also said the city’s part in the event was well done. “The Uncle Sam Jam this year was about as successful as you could have it,” Shore said. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

A request to have alcohol at the new PACE Community Park in downtown Thomasville forced city officials to take a closer look at the rules for the facility.
Thomasville sets rules for new park BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
THOMASVILLE – Those renting the new park and its amphitheater in downtown Thomasville may have to abide by a list of rules to use the city-owned property. The Thomasville Public Safety Committee on Tuesday reviewed proposed rental rules and a proposed contract for residents who use the PACE Community Park. The park recently was built by People Achieving Community Enhancement, a nonprofit aimed at beautifying the city of Thomasville. Councilwoman Jackie Jackson said the issue of alcohol is the reason the City Council decided to examine rules for the park. “There was a request for alcohol,” Jackson said. “The rules did not allow for it. We had to immediately come in and start looking at the rules. That was probably our biggest thing, otherwise it wouldn’t have been an issue if we hadn’t got a request for it.” Members of the city’s Public Safety Committee said Tuesday that alcohol will not be allowed at the park.
The committee, however, may consider next month to allow alcohol by permit at the Thomasville Farmers Market, which is adjacent to the PACE Community Park. According to the proposal, the use of the park will be by permit and contract only. Un-
‘There was a request for alcohol. The rules did not allow for it. We had to immediately come in and start looking at the rules.’ Jackie Jackson Councilwoman authorized use will be considered trespass on city-owned property and violators will be subject to arrest. The reservation of PACE Community Park will have to be made through the city manager’s office, according to the proposal. The proposed cost to rent the facility is $50 for the first
two hours and $15 for each additional hour, with waiver of fees allowed for PACE-sponsored events and any other city co-sponsored event. The proposal states the Thomasville Farmers Market may be accessed for simultaneous use in order to have access to bathroom facilities. If that facility is not available, the user is responsible for providing bathroom facilities and prompt removal of the portable bathroom facilities, according to the proposal. In addition, a $100 maintenance/clean-up deposit shall be paid to the city of Thomasville, the proposal states. The deposit would be returned if the facilities are found in order after the event. The user of the park also would be liable for any claim or claims of injury person due to the use of the facility. Under the proposal, City Manager Kelly Craver would have the authority over all of the permits. The City Council is expected to consider the proposal during its regular monthly meeting at 7 p.m. July 19. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

NC opens health coverage to high-risk uninsured RALEIGH (AP) – A new health insurance plan to cover people with pre-existing medical conditions is now available in North Carolina. Inclusive Health said it started accepting customers Tuesday. North Carolina is one of 29 states that will administer their own plans resulting from health care reform
This event is part of the Summer Reading Program that includes a children’s book club that ends on Aug. 11 and several other activities for children in the Story Room at the High Point library and Oakview Recreation Center. Many of Washington’s stories are about African folklore and traditions.

Husband is way out of line posting sex photos online
Dear X-posed: What your husband has done is the equivalent of inviting his buddies, co-workers, friends, etc. into your bedroom during your most intimate moments. Your trust was violated and your feelings are understandable. That he would disregard your feelings in the matter is, frankly, shocking. What you should do now is contact a licensed marriage counselor to figure out if, with professional help, you can help your immature and insensitive husband reorganize his priorities. Dear Abby: Twenty years ago I was in love with “Connie,� a girl who was my best friend and soul mate. We had so much in common. Connie was chubby – not fat, just not a size 3. Being 22 at the time, I became infatuated with “Lisa,� who was a size 3. Lisa was also jealous, insecure and still tied to her mother. I snapped one day and left her – the smartest thing I have ever done.
By then, of course, Connie had moved on, and I deeply regret my wandering ADVICE eye, lack of sensitivDear ity and Abby misplaced ■■■values. My life would be so much happier had I done what was right instead of being stupid. Connie, I am told, is happily married, and I would not wreck her marriage. I have remained single. I don’t know if you can offer me advice, but if my experience can help another young man to recognize the beauty within, he will be happier than I am. – Wiser Now in Ohio

How bad is high-fructose corn syrup?
D
ear Dr. Donohue: I would appreciate it if you’d share your knowledge on high-fructose corn syrup. I suffer with diarrhea after consuming only a small amount of it. Does this affect a significant number of other people the same way? Is it possible that this problem would happen with other sweeteners? I tolerate cane sugar in moderate amounts. I hear the medical community is not pleased with highfructose corn syrup. Is this true? – M.F.
BLONDIE
B.C.
High-fructose corn syrup is a subject that makes some people go ballistic. I understand why you have to avoid it. I don’t know if other sweeteners would have the same effect on you. Perhaps with HFCS, it’s a matter of the amount put in some products that causes you to react the way you do. I haven’t seen diarrhea mentioned as a common side effect of HFCS. HFCS comes from cornstarch. In the 1960s, manufacturers found a way to boost the fructose and glucose concentrations of cornstarch to produce a product that was easy to blend with other ingredients and much cheaper than regular sugar. Fructose is fruit sugar, found in fruits and honey. Glucose is a sugar found in many places. It’s the sugar used for intra-

venous feedings. Sugar from sugar cane and sugar beets – ordiHEALTH nary table sugar – is Dr. Paul sucrose, Donohue and it’s ■■■ composed of fructose and glucose in roughly the same proportions as they’re found in HFCS. So why all the fuss? Some blame HFCS as a cause of the obesity epidemic. Others say that fructose in HFCS is processed differently in the body than is fructose from table sugar and is more apt to promote fatness. Rat studies done by Princeton University appear to support that claim. Not all experts agree with the validity of the Princeton study, however. Sugar intake – all sugars – should be minimized. Products with high sugar concentrations have few other nutrients, so hunger is being satisfied by foods that don’t provide balanced nutrition. I don’t mean that sugars should be banned, just moderated. I don’t condemn HFCS. I do believe that all such products ought to be taken with some restraint. Dear Dr. Donohue: According to my bloodwork results, I have a kidney problem. My
doctor is sending me to a nephrologist. What is the difference between a nephrologist and a urologist? What will the doctor be looking for? They tell me my test numbers are too high. What numbers? I am 79 and feel fine. Should I have some symptoms if I have a problem? – D.M. A nephrologist is an internal medicine doctor who specializes in the treatment of kidney diseases that don’t require surgery. Like all other internal medicine doctors, nephrologists use medicines, diet and physical therapy as their ways of curing illnesses. They also are the doctors who perform kidney dialysis. Urologists are surgeons who use surgical techniques to cure illness. They take care of removing kidney tumors and kidney stones, and of transplanting kidneys. They also remove or pare down enlarged prostate glands. Two common blood tests that are used to judge how well the kidneys are functioning are creatinine and BUN – blood urea nitrogen. If those numbers rise, the kidneys are not filtering blood the way they should. Many times, lab tests indicate trouble well before symptoms appear. That gives the doctor a chance to nip in the bud problems that are developing. The doctor will look for reasons why

How mugging victim Connor McLean looked after surgery.
A friendly game Kickball tournament proceeds will help pay medical bills of mugging victim BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
G
REENSBORO – Friends of High Point native Connor McLean will stage a fundraising kickball tournament this weekend to help him pay medical bills stemming from a mugging earlier this year. “We all know about what happened to him, and we wanted to help him out with his medical bills,” says Amber Del Sarto, who works with McLean at the Mellow Mushroom restaurant in Greensboro. The kickball tournament, which will be held Saturday and Sunday at Pomona Athletic Field, is being organized by Del Sarto and a group of friends who last year began playing kickball together just for fun. The games grew into a oncea-week potluck dinner, followed by kickball, and the crowd grew to as many as 40 people. “We started talking about doing a charity game for Haiti after the earthquake there,” Del Sarto says, “but when this happened to Connor, we wanted to keep it more local. This was something that happened here in Greensboro, so we changed our minds and decided to do the fundraiser for him instead.” The 26-year-old McLean, a 2002 graduate of T. Wingate Andrews High School who now lives in Greensboro, was assaulted one night in late January after returning home from a date. According to McLean, a male approached him and demanded his keys and cell phone. When McLean refused, the assailant – who appeared to have a gun in his jacket pocket and threatened to shoot McLean – sucker-
punched him from behind, possibly with the gun or a rock, and he handed over his keys. McLean, who had no medical insurance at the time, suffered a blowout fracture – “I had three different breaks in my face,” he says – which required him to undergo reconstructive surgery two days after the incident. He’s pursuing a second surgery – a cheek implant “that would put some normalcy back in my face,” McLean says – and has undergone therapy to deal with the emotional trauma of being assaulted. McLean’s medical bills have already topped $26,000, he says, so money raised through the kickball tournament will be a blessing. “This is quite simply one of the most incredible things people can do at a time like this,” McLean says. “Any time a community of people can rally around somebody and support somebody, it automatically instills hope. So many people have been willing to do something to help – it’s been amazing.” Organizers of the kickball tournament need a total of four 15-member teams for the tournament, and teams will be accepted on a firstcome, first-served basis. Individuals can also sign up to play on a registered team – at the same cost of $15 per person – but full teams are preferred. On Sunday night, a post-tournament party will be held at the Westerwood Tavern, with proceeds from that event also going toward McLean’s medical bills. “I’m so thankful,” McLean says. “This has been a pretty incredible community response to what happened.”

The N.C. Department of Transportation’s Rail Division is going green with the installation of the state’s first solar-powered railroad crossing signal lights and gate warning system. The new system was recently activated in the Stokes County town of Pinnacle on Surry Line Road. “This is an outstanding opportunity to use renewable, healthy and clean energy,” said NCDOT Rail Division Director Pat Simmons. Normally, crossing signals operate off of battery power, with batteries being charged via commercial electricity. In the case of the solarpowered railroad crossing and gate, batteries are charged via solar panels. Usually, battery capacity generated from the solar panels can accommodate a minimum of 48 to 72 hours of crossing signals and gate operation for the number of daily trains expected. This compares equally to crossing signals and gates using non-solar technology to generate electricity. The solar array has a back-up generator for emergency use. The signal lights and gates are positioned at railroad tracks owned and operated by the Yadkin Valley Railroad. C&S Signaling of Pewee Valley, Ky. designed and installed the system. The Rail Division has plans for at least one other solar panel signal and gate crossing and will continue to encourage the further use of this green technology.

EXTRA CHANCE South’s play was fallible. He has an extra chance if he starts by taking the A-K of spades and ruffing a spade. When the queen falls from East, dummy’s jack is good for the 12th trick. If the queen didn’t appear, South could finesse in clubs. Out of curiosity, I fed this deal as a dummy-play problem into a best-selling random-deal computer

BRIDGE
One of the sharpest members of my club, a systems analyst, insists that at the source of every error blamed on a computer, you’ll find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it all on the computer. Computers may be infallible, but today’s South demonstrated that humans aren’t. At six hearts, South won the first diamond in dummy and led the ten of trumps to finesse. West won and led another diamond. South won, drew trumps and saw that a winning finesse in a black suit would make the slam. So South flipped a mental coin and led a club to the ace and a club to his jack. Down one.

Partner next bids four hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: You barely had enough values to raise to three spades; nevertheless, your heart holding is golden. Encourage slam by cue-bidding five hearts. Your partner may hold A K J 7 5 3, A J 7 5, A K, 3. North dealer Both sides 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.

Thomasville HiToms’ infielder Matt Dillon drops to one knee to play a sharply hit grounder off the bat of an Asheboro Copperhead during Tuesday night’s Coastal Plain League contest at Finch Field.
Copperheads strike BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
THOMASVILLE – Nate Striz made just one mistake Tuesday night in his start against the Asheboro Copperheads. The way the HiToms have been hitting, however, there’s no margin for error for the Thomasville pitching staff. “A pitcher’s going to make a mistake, give up a hit or walk a guy once in a while,” HiToms manager Tom Dorzweiler said following his team’s 9-1 defeat. “We’ve got to capitalize when their pitcher makes a mistake. We just can’t string four, five hits together through the lineup.” Striz, sporting an earned run average of 1.62 entering the game, allowed a three-run homer to Xavier Macklin in the second inning following an infield single and a walk. He fell to 0-3 for the season after the HiToms managed
just three hits off Copperheads’ starter Ryan Pfaeffle and four in all. For the year, Thomasville is batting .227 as a team, which goes a long way toward explaining the squad’s record of 10-23 overall and 0-5 in the second half of the Coastal Plain League slate. “It gets frustrating all the way around,” Dorzweiler said. “We’ve got a lot of talent on this team. We’ve just got to believe in ourselves. We won five of seven at one point (to end the first half), and we’ve got to believe we can do that again.” The lone run for Thomasville crossed in the second when Alex Yarbrough turned on an inside pitch and drove it over the right-field fence. The Copperheads’ lead stayed at 3-1 until the fourth, when Brantley Meier connected for a two-run, two-out single that chased Striz. T.J. Clarkson escaped further trouble in that frame and starred over the next four
innings. The right-hander from The Citadel picked up 1-2-3 innings in the sixth and seventh and exited after the eighth having allowed just two hits. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out six. “That was a bright spot,” Dorzweiler said. “When he first got here, he struggled a little, but he kept working hard and we told him he was going to get a shot. The more he’s thrown, the better he’s looked, and we’ll keep running him out there.” Asheboro (18-17, 5-2) struck for four runs in the ninth off Kyle Barbeck, who allowed a two-run homer to Marquis Riley and walked three straight batters, two of whom would score after reliever Jordan Cooper entered. Thomasville makes the short trip to Asheboro tonight before playing host to Martinsville on Thursday. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526
Sanders’ slam lifts Post 87 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
CLEMMONS – Kevin Sanders, who hit a pair of grand slams in one game earlier this summer, slugged another key slam Tuesday night for the High Point Post 87 Junior HiToms. Post 87 prevailed 11-7 in 10 innings over Western Forsyth and took a 2-1 lead in their best-offive American Legion Baseball
Area III North second-round series. The Junior HiToms will go for the series win tonight at 6 at Finch Field. The winner of the third round, which begins Saturday, punches its ticket to the Legion state tournament beginning July 23 in Asheboro. Post 87 (16-8) didn’t appear headed for extra-inning heroics. Western, the No. 1 seed, jumped
on fourth-seeded Post 87 for a 7-1 lead through four frames. But relief pitcher Tyler Southcott came through with a shutout in the seventh, eighth and ninth to keep his team in it, and David Coffey struck out the side on the bottom of the 10th for the win. Coffey also figured mightily in regulation. Western had a runner on third base with one out in the ninth when a fly ball was lifted to
left field. Coffey camped under it and fired a laser to catcher Houston Ison to prevent the winning run from scoring. Post 87’s offense came through with three runs in the fifth inning and three more in the seventh. DeSean Anderson connected for a solo homer in the seventh. Hits from Ison and Sanders followed, and Kyle Morrison tied the game at 7-all with a single.

T
oday’s World Cup semifinal between Germany and Spain offers the classic offense vs. defense showdown. The quick-strike Germans have scored four goals in three of their five World Cup matches so far, crushing Australia 4-0 in their first match, ripping England 4-1 in round two and Argentina 4-0 in the quarterfinals.
Spain, meanwhile, has scored a total of six goals in its five matches. David Villa has five of those goals, making him the tournament’s leading scorer and a marked man in today’s semifinal. Germany will be making its third straight trip to the semifinals and its 12th overall. That’s the most semifinal appearances in history. The Germans won the World Cup in
1954, 1974 and 1990, all as West Germany. Spain has never won a World Cup. Germany leads the international series with Spain 8-6-6. In the World Cup, the Germans own two wins and a tie. Look for an intriguing matchup today in South Africa.

The Orlando Magic tried to sign Chris Duhon in free agency two years ago only to watch him go to New York. They finally got their man Tuesday. Duhon reached an agreement with the Magic for a $15 million, four-year deal, his agent said. Teams can’t officially sign free agents until Thursday. Agent Kevin Bradbury told The Associated Press that the chance to play for a championship contender was enough to sway Duhon to the Magic this time. Duhon fills a much-needed role behind starter Jameer Nelson and could step into the starting spot should an injury occur. Duhon spent the last two years starting for the New York Knicks, never really living up to expectations and falling out of favor with coach Mike D’Antoni. He averaged 7.4 points and 5.6 assists per game last season. Duhon’s first four seasons came with the Chicago Bulls, who drafted him in 2004. The Magic tried to sign Duhon in 2008 before he went to New York. The former Duke standout could also reunite with J.J. Redick, a restricted free agent.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — David Toms has withdrawn from the British Open to rest an ailing right shoulder, and Anthony Kim formally pulled out as he recovers from thumb surgery. The Royal & Ancient said Tuesday they were replaced in the field at St. Andrews by Ricky Barnes and Davis Love III. Toms has been coping with a bone spur in his rotator cuff since the spring, and he has been trying to get by without surgery. The AT&T National was his fourth straight tournament. His agent, Adam Young, said Toms wanted to wait as long as possible to see how he was feeling, but not so long that it affected the travel of whoever replaced him. Kim had surgery in May and never planned to play the Open. He hopes to return a week later at the Canadian Open.

World champ Semenya cleared to return
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Caster Semenya was cleared to immediately return to track by the sport’s governing body Tuesday, ending an 11-month layoff while she underwent gender tests after becoming the 800-meter world champion. Semenya is allowed to keep running as a woman, although it is unclear if she has had any medical procedure or treatment during her time away. The International Association of Athletics Federations said medical details of the 19year-old South African’s case would remain confidential and it will have no further comment on the matter.

Heat a major worry for U.S. Women’s Open
AP
Tigers left fielder Brennan Boesch dives but can’t make the play on a hit by Baltimore’s Adam Jones in the second inning of Tuesday night’s game in Detroit.
Santana’s arm, bat doom Reds THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK – Johan Santana lined his first major league homer, providing his own run support while pitching a three-hitter that led the New York Mets past the Cincinnati Reds 3-0 on a blazing Tuesday night. On a day when it hit a record 103 degrees in the city, Santana steamed around the bases after capping a tenacious 12-pitch at-bat with his drive off the right-field foul screen. That was all Santana needed to blank the team that led the NL in runs, homers and hitting. Santana struck out five and walked three in his seventh career shutout and first since 2008. The NL Centralleading Reds lost for the second time in seven games. Santana (6-5) had won just once in his last seven starts, though Mets hitters shared the blame. The left-hander ranked among the bottom among big league pitchers in backing, evidenced by New York scoring only one run in his previous three outings. Santana took off his batting helmet, saluted the crowd with his right hand and came out for a curtain call to acknowledge the cheers after his home run. He drew another ovation the next time up as the video board replayed the highlight – the first home run in 182 career at-bats for a lifetime .166 hitter. It was still 96 degrees when Brandon Phillips led off the game with a double, but Santana didn’t allow another hit until Orlando Cabrera singled in the sixth. Santana ended that inning by retiring Scott Rolen on a harmless fly with two runners on base. The Reds threatened in the ninth when Rolen singled with one out and left fielder Jason Bay dropped Jay Bruce’s flyball for an error. Mets manager Jerry Manuel
YANKEES’ 2B CANO PICKED FOR HOME RUN DERBY
---
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) – New York Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long is concerned about how second baseman Robinson Cano will be affected by participating in the Home Run Derby. Cano was one of six players picked Tuesday to participate in the event Monday in Anaheim. Long says he has seen players struggle after winning the competition. Long says the contest is an “exhausting process” and that it can affect a player’s swing. Cano says he plans to have fun at the event and that he knows his priority is the Yankees. Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera, Boston’s David Ortiz and Toronto’s Vernon Wells were also selected in the AL. Milwaukee’s Corey Hart and St. Louis’ Matt Holliday will participate for the NL. Two more National League players still need to be picked.
strolled to the mound and, as fans implored him to leave in Santana, he did. Santana rewarded his manager when he got Jonny Gomes on a lineout and Drew Stubbs grounded into a game-ending force. Matt Maloney (0-1) lost in his first game for Cincinnati this season. He traveled in from Triple-A Louisville earlier in the day, promoted because the Reds put pitcher Aaron Harang on the disabled list with lower back spasms.
NATIONALS 6, PADRES 5 WASHINGTON – Ryan Zimmerman’s second homer of the game, a shot to center field off Luke Gregerson leading off the bottom of the ninth, lifted the Washington Na-
tionals to a 6-5 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. Zimmerman, trying to secure the final spot on the NL All-Star team in an Internet vote, hit an 0-1 fastball from Gregerson (2-4) over the wall in center. He had earlier homered in the fourth and has three homers in two games and two multiple homer games this season – both against the Padres, who had a three-game winning streak snapped. Ian Desmond also connected, giving the Nationals their fourth three-homer game of the season. Matt Capps (3-3) worked the ninth for his third victory in six days.
weeks ago, didn’t bother playing another full round in the sauna-like conditions. She played only nine holes on Tuesday and plans to play nine today before the women’s national championship begins Thursday, when the predicted high is 93. “We teed off at 7:20 (Monday) and it took us five hours and 20 minutes to play,” Kerr said. “Mentally, I felt like I was a little fried at the end. You have to learn how to manage in this kind of weather. I think for me it’s more mentally challenging than physically, because the physical kind of leads to the mental.” The weather is similar to that of the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont, when temperatures were in the high 90s before Ernie Els won in a three-way playoff. Some golfers carried umbrellas throughout their practice rounds to shade themselves from the sun, while some of Oakmont’s historically fast-rolling greens were being watered between practice groups. The large practice green already is tinged with brown spots. The heat affected attendance, too: There appeared to be fewer spectators on the course for Tuesday’s practice rounds than Monday’s. Normally, such crowds increase as the tournament draws closer.
TWINS 7, BLUE JAYS 6 TORONTO – Denard Span drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the eighth inning, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-6 on Tuesday night. Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and Jason Kubel each homered for the Twins, before Delmon Young led off the eighth with a single off Jason Frasor (3-2). After Nick Punto sacrificed Young to second, Scott Downs came on to face Span and allowed his RBI single to center. Young went 3 for 3 with an RBI and an intentional walk and is batting .363 since June 3. Jose Mijares (1-0) retired two batters for the win, Jesse Crain worked the eighth and Jon Rauch finished in the ninth for his 19th save. Edwin Encarnacion, Lyle Overbay and Dewayne Wise homered for the Blue Jays, who lead the major leagues with 123, but Toronto still lost for the 12th time in 15 games. The Blue Jays came in having won 15 of 19 against the Twins. Minnesota opened the scoring with two runs in the second. Jim Thome drove in the first with a grounder and Young followed with an RBI single.
LeBron tweets, but says nothing about decision AKRON, Ohio (AP) – Well, at least we got a tweet out of LeBron James. With the Summer of LeBron trudging along with no break in sight, the NBA’s most prized free agent opened a Twitter account and posted his first message on the social networking site. While he provided no information about his future plans, at least he offered something as the NBA awaits the decision on where he’ll play next. “Hello World, the Real King James is in the Building,” said the tweet on the kingjames feed, which by 6 p.m. EDT had more than 128,000 followers. James’ publicist, Keith Estabrook, confirmed the superstar’s entrance to Twitter, a place where fellow free
OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) – Oakmont Country Club, a demanding course capable of producing scores in the 90s, is tormenting the U.S. Women’s Open golfers with a different kind of problem: temperatures in the 90s. Jiyai Shin, the South Korean golfer who was briefly ranked No. 1 in the world following Lorena Ochoa’s retirement earlier this year, struggled badly as practice-round readings hit 94 on the suburban Pittsburgh course Tuesday. She didn’t reply when asked by reporters if she needed intravenous fluids or any medical help, but she admittedly wasn’t prepared for weather that was steamier than that in Miami Beach. With temperatures expected to remain only a few degrees short of 100 until Friday, Shin’s worry is how she’ll feel when she tees off that day at 1:03 p.m. EDT. She played her practice round Tuesday morning to escape the oppressive heat, but she’s scheduled to be in the middle of it for Round 2. “I’m really surprised it’s so hot and humid,” said Shin, a six-time LPGA Tour winner. “It’s really hot and sunny all day, so green(s) and fairways are getting firm, like concrete.” Cristie Kerr, the LPGA Championship winner by 12 shots two
agents Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh often post details about their public lives off the floor. In the past, James poked fun at athletes for giving details of their daily routines on Twitter and Facebook, but at the prodding of New Orleans guard Chris Paul, his U.S. Olympic teammate and closest friend in the league, the two-time MVP decided it was time to join the fun. Now, if he would only announce which team he’s going to. James arrived at his Nike-sponsored skills academy at the University of Akron at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday, more than four hours after he was expected to arrive for the second day of the three-day camp hosting many of the nation’s top high school and college stars.
DOUBLE TROUBLE FOR EGYPT AS U.S. ROLLS
--
HAMBURG, Germany (AP) – Brad Beal, of St. Louis, and Michael Gilchrist, of Somerdale, N.J., both scored 18 points to lead seven U.S. players in double figures in a 132-64 victory over Egypt on Tuesday in the U17 World Championships. Justin Anderson, of Montross, Va., and Chasson Randle, of Rock Island, Ill., both had 16 points, Marquis Teague, of Indianapolis, added 12, and Andre Drummond, of Middletown, Conn., and Adonis Thomas, of Cordova, Tenn., both had 11. The United States (40) had already clinched a berth in the medal round. The U.S. team has one preliminary round game against Serbia (2-2) on Thursday and the quarterfinals are Friday.
Woods turns icy at personal questions ADARE, Ireland (AP) – After another warm welcome from the Irish public, Tiger Woods turned curt and dismissive at a news conference Tuesday when asked about his state of mind since the sex scandal that’s wrecked his marriage. Woods was questioned following his 3-under-par 69 in his final round of the charity J.P. McManus Invitational Pro-Am, his first foreign appearance since the turmoil. When asked whether his liaisons with other women had been “worth it” since it cost him his marriage and endorsements, Woods replied, “I think you’re looking too deep into this.” He torpedoed the follow-up question with an icily firm “Thank you.” Woods is returning immediately to his Florida home rather than heading to Scotland to prepare for next week’s British Open at St. Andrews, one of his favorite courses and where he won Opens in 2000 and 2005. Once the subject was broached, the previously easy-speaking Woods flipped a switch into staccato half-sentences. How will you prepare? “Practicing.” Where? “Home.” Why not try and play some links golf in Scotland beforehand? “I need to get home.” Silence. Why? “See my kids.” Silence. Throughout the 15-minute news conference Woods had to parry various attempts at a comment on how his marital implosion was affecting his game. “There are times in one’s life when things get put in perspective, one being when my father passed, and obviously what I’ve been going through lately,” he said in his most expansive reply. But when asked again whether he was finding personal worries overshadowing his game, Woods clearly had enough. “Everything’s working itself out,” he said. When asked if that meant his troubles were still undermining his golf, Woods descended into glumeyed silence, offering an expression somewhere between a grimace and a frown. Out on the Adare Manor Golf Course, Woods felt nothing but love and admiration from the more than 20,000 fans who lined the course five-deep to watch his every drive, approach shot and putt. Armed with a full night’s sleep, Woods breezed through a course that had befuddled him Monday, when he shot a 7-over 79 to fall near the bottom of the field of 54 professionals. Darren Clarke of Northern Ireland finished first after shooting a 68 for a two-day score of 3-under 141. Woods finished seven shots back, tied for 24th.

Armstrong loses time in bumpy third stage
AP
The Netherlands’ John Heitinga (bottom) and Uruguay’s Sebastian Abreu compete for the ball during their World Cup semifinal soccer match at the Green Point stadium in Cape Town, South Africa on Tuesday.
Dutch treat: The Netherlands advance to World Cup final CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) – A Dutch treat: The Netherlands is in the World Cup final. Long wasteful with its soccer talent, the Netherlands sure has found the right touch in this tournament. Dutch stars Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben scored three minutes apart in the second half as the Netherlands beat Uruguay 3-2 Tuesday night to advance to their first championship match since losing in 1978 to Argentina. Winners of all six games in South Africa, the Oranje will face either Germany or Spain in Sunday’s title game at Soccer City in Johannesburg. The Netherlands lost its other appearance in the final, to West Germany in 1974. Both of those title-game defeats came during the golden period of Dutch soccer, and in the opposition’s homeland. No such worries
this time, and no country outside of Africa has had as much fan support as the Netherlands. Inside Green Point Stadium it looked like a Florida orange grove. Outside, a Netherlands fan in a blue and white bodysuit stood on stilts and played a vuvuzela – badly. It was about the only thing that didn’t measure up for the Dutch. And a tournament that looked like a South American fiesta early on will end in a European showdown for the second straight World Cup. Sneijder and Robben made sure of that. Sneijder’s goal came somewhat unexpectedly because Uruguay had shut down the Dutch offense for much of the second half. His left-footed shot from just inside the penalty area barely ticked the leg of defender Maximiliano Pereira and, with Robin van Persie almost deflecting it again, it skidded past goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
Then Robben sent a cross from Dirk Kuyt past a flat-footed Muslera with a brilliant header as Robben was leaping away from the net. His teammates piled on in an Oranje Crush celebration, and Robben came up from it with mud on his forehead, a smile on his face – and the knowledge that Netherlands was ahead 3-1 and likely headed to the championship match. For good measure, Robben blew kisses to the fans. Uruguay was without dangerous striker Luis Suarez, whose handball on the goal line in the final seconds of extra time against Ghana saved his team in the quarterfinals. He drew a red card for that, and spent his suspension on the bench watching his undermanned teammates come up just short. The Dutch have now won 10 straight and are unbeaten in their last 25 games.
WORLD CUP SEMIFINAL Germany-Spain feels more TODAY’S --A capsule for today’s semifinal match at the World Cup (FIFA like a World Cup final rankings in parentheses): DURBAN, South Africa (AP) – The reigning European champion vs. the runner-up. One of the top scorers at this World Cup vs. No. 2 on the all-time list. The most dynamic team at this tournament vs. a squad that’s yet to show its full brilliance. A three-time champion vs. a team craving its first title. Sounds like a great World Cup final. Too bad it’ll be the semifinals when Germany and Spain face off today at Moses Mabhida Stadium, with many expecting the winner to go on and be crowned world champion four days later. The Spain-Germany winner will play the Netherlands in the final. “This would have been a great final, actually,” Germany’s Lukas Podolski said Tuesday night. “We want revenge for 2008. When you are in a final you want to win. We still think about that defeat, and it still hurts. We want to reach the final.” There’s a game in every World Cup that comes a round or two too soon, and Germany-Spain definitely qualifies. Spain has lost all of two games since November 2006, and it ended a 44-year major title drought when it beat Germany to win the European Championship in 2008.
SPAIN (2) VS. GERMANY (6), 2:30 P.M. DURBAN Spain made its first World Cup semifinal in 40 years with another close victory, a 1-0 win over Paraguay courtesy of a late David Villa goal after both teams had penalty kicks blocked by the goalkeeper. Germany advanced to its third straight World Cup semifinal with a 4-0 thrashing of Argentina, which had emerged as a favorite after winning its first four games. Spain: David Villa is the tournament’s leading scorer with five goals, none bigger than his one against Paraguay that caromed off one post and then the other before going into the net. Spain got a scare during Monday night’s practice when Cesc Fabregas took a ball in the exact spot where his right leg was broken in March, but tests showed he’s fine and is available today. Germany: The three-time champions are peaking at the perfect time, routing longtime foes England and Argentina by a combined score of 8-1. Miroslav Klose scored twice against the Argentines to give him four goals for the tournament and 14 overall – tying him with Gerd Mueller for second place on the all-time list. Thomas Mueller, who has also scored four goals, is suspended for this match. Notable Fact: The semifinal is a rematch of the 2008 European Championship final, which Spain won 1-0 to clinch its first major title in 44 years. While Spain’s team has remained largely the same, Germany has undergone a major lineup overhaul since then.

ARENBERG, France (AP) – A brief look at Tuesday’s third stage of the Tour de France: Stage: A treacherous 132.36-mile ride from Wanze, Belgium, to Arenberg in France. The stage featured seven cobblestone sections, including four in the last 18.64 miles. Winner: Thor Hushovd of Norway. The Cervelo team sprinter won the stage ahead of Britain’s Thomas Geraint and world champion Cadel Evans of Australia. Seventime Tour winner Lance Armstrong lost time to other title contenders because of a flat tire and dropped to 18th overall. He trails defending champion Alberto Contador by 50 seconds. Yellow Jersey: Fabian Cancellara, who took the shirt back from Sylvain Chavanel of France. Cancellara finished in a five-man group behind Hushovd. Next stage: Today’s fourth stage is a 95.38mile ride from Cambrai to Reims, the capital of champagne. This short trek doesn’t feature any major difficulty and looks tailor-made for sprinters. ing left in the threeweek race, which now heads toward the Alps and later the Pyrenees.
Georgia president taps interim AD to replace Evans ATHENS, Ga. (AP) – Frank Crumley was named Georgia’s interim athletic director on Tuesday, though university president Michael Adams said he wants to look outside the university first for a full-time replacement for Damon Evans. Evans resigned following a DUI arrest last week. Crumley received the promotion on Tuesday after working as Evans’ top assistant – executive associate athletic director for finance – since 2007. “Not to make light of it, but it will be business as usual,” Crumley said. Crumley said Evans’ arrest brought “some surprise and shock” to the athletic department. “I think it’s sort of shock but everybody is adjusting and happy to get back to work today. I know I was ... to get some normalcy back in it,” Crumley said. Adams selected a six-member search committee, headed by University of Georgia law professor David Shipley, to seek Evans’ permanent replacement. “This is one of the best five or six AD jobs in America, I believe, and I assure you there will be no shortage of interest,” Adams said. Adams said he is looking for “a person of integrity.” “I think in all these cases anyone you want already has a good job and so you have to work with someone else’s schedule other than your own,” he said. “I’m looking for someone who has a very high level of experience.” Adams said he hopes for an “expeditious” search, but Shipley said it is “overly optimistic” to suggest the search will end before 2011. Among the other search committee members are Georgia swimming coach Jack Bauerle, associate athletic director Carla Williams, and the student member of Georgia’s athletic board, Trey Sinyard. Evans became the Southeastern Conference’s first black athletic director in 2004 when he was hired by Adams to replace Vince Dooley, who had been at the school as football coach and athletic director for 40 years. Adams said he hoped Evans would provide continuity as a long-term head of the athletic department, but that plan was crushed by the embarrassing arrest on Wednesday. “The past five days have been very difficult, even sad, for all of us,” Adams said.

ARENBERG, France (AP) – Lance Armstrong’s hopes for victory in his final Tour de France hit a setback Tuesday when a burst tire cost him time during a jarring stage over cobblestones that was won by Norway’s Thor Hushovd. “Our chances took a knock today,” Armstrong said. “I’m not going home, we’ll stay in the race and keep trying.” Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland finished the third stage in a five-man group behind Hushovd, but he regained the yellow jersey he ceded a day earlier to Sylvain Chavanel of France. Hushovd was ahead of Geraint Thomas of Britain and world champion Cadel Evans of Australia in a sprint finish among the leading group of riders. The 132-mile ride from Belgium to France was the most dreaded stage of week one – with seven sections of bone-jarring cobblestones that threatened injury, bike damage or lost time for contenders. “Bad luck,” Armstrong said, referring to his mishap in the fifth patch. Some had worse luck: Frank Schleck of Luxembourg, who won the Tour of Switzerland last month, crashed on the fourth section and was out of the race and taken to hospital. Armstrong noted there’s still a lot of rac-

Service growth slows in June NEW YORK (AP) — The service sector grew more slowly in June, an industry trade group said Tuesday, offering the latest sign that the economic recovery is weakening as the second half of the year begins. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives, said its index tracking service-oriented companies slid to 53.8 last month from 55.4 in May — the highest point since the recovery began. A reading above 50 indicates expansion. June’s reading is well above the 37.2 low in November 2008. But it’s far below the pre-recession high of 67.7 in 2004. The index was broadened in January 2008 to consider four areas of in-

Netflix to add more online movies LOS ANGELES – Netflix is adding to the group of movies that its subscribers can watch online or over Internet-connected devices at the same time as they would have appeared on premium pay TV channels such as HBO or Showtime. The deal announced Tuesday with film financier Relativity Media adds to a batch of newer movies from Disney and Sony that can be watched online through Netflix’ 2-year-old deal with Starz Entertainment on a service called Starz Play.
Geely wins OK to buy Volvo Cars BRUSSELS – European Union regulators on Tuesday approved Chinese carmaker Geely to buy Sweden’s iconic Volvo Cars. The European Commission said it sees no antitrust problems with Zhejiang Geely Holding Co.’s $1.8 billion acquisition of Volvo Cars from Ford Motor Co. because the takeover won’t give either company the power to damage rivals.
Oil prices rise with stock market NEW YORK – Oil prices rose Tuesday after six straight days of decline as stocks rose and storms delayed oil skimming operations for the big spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Benchmark crude for August delivery rose $1.24 to $73.38 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

formation: business activity, employment, supplier deliveries and new orders. Before that, it only looked at business activity. A robust service sector, which accounts for about 80 percent of U.S. employment, is crucial to keeping the economy expanding and adding jobs. Service-oriented jobs include those in hospitals, shops, restaurants, airlines, schools, construction, banks and consulting firms, among others. The dip in the nonmanufacturing index follows last week’s raft of economic data that points to a slowing recovery. For the second straight month, private-sector job creation was weak. The number of people seeking unemployment benefits is on
the rise, a sign that layoffs have yet to ebb. Home sales are plunging and factory orders are down. Still, the decline in service-sector growth didn’t interrupt a rally on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 136 points in early trading. But it may force some economists to revise their expectations for growth in the second half of the year. “Everyone is kind of pausing, looking at the landscape, not quite throwing in the towel yet,” said Pierre Ellis of Decision Economics. The index’s slowing growth in June is “the first sign of potential problems.” He expects economic growth in the second half to slow to 2.5 percent.
Ford logs record sales in China DETROIT (AP) – Ford Motor Co. sold a record 301,524 vehicles in China during the first six months of the year, up 53 percent from the same period in 2009, the company said. The Dearborn, Mich., automaker said its passenger car joint venture, Changan Ford Mazda Automobile, sold a record 205,563 vehicles, up 46 percent for the six-month period. Its commercial vehicle venture, Jiangling Motors Corp., sold 88,363 vehicles, also a record. Ford also sells its Volvo brand in China. The sale of Volvo to Zhejiang Geely Holding Co. is awaiting Chinese government approval. The company said Monday its sales were fueled by the new Fiesta subcompact. In addition, it introduced a new Focus compact in June, and
it plans to introduce the Mondeo midsize car in China later this year, and those models should contribute to stronger sales. Sales for all automakers in China started to slow in May, but they still grew 26 percent over the previous year. That growth rate, though, was the slowest in over a year as demand for sedans weakened. Automakers sold 1.04 million passenger cars in May. Even with the first-half growth, Ford still trails rival General Motors Co. in Chinese sales. GM sold 1.21 million vehicles in China from January to June – a near 50 percent gain over a year earlier. China sales beat U.S. sales for GM for the first time during the first half of the year. Ford shares rose 17 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $10.45 in midday trading Tuesday.
EU suggests raising retirement age BRUSSELS (AP) – The European Union’s executive says Europeans should not retire before 70 to save cash-strapped state pension funds. In a paper to be published today, the European Commission says four workers’ contributions to state pensions currently help support two retirees. The growing number of older people would require the average retirement age to rise to 67 in 2040 and 70 by 2060 to maintain the current pension system, it says. Lower birth rates and
longer life expectancy mean that retiring earlier will not be sustainable. Germany will raise the retirement age to 67 in 2029. Spain is considering a similar hike and Britain is discussing increasing it to 68. But other countries are moving far more slowly. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is facing fierce opposition to his plans for people to retire at 62, instead of 60. Pension reform is a key part of reducing future costs and tackling mounting government debt burdens.

NEW YORK (AP) – The Dow Jones industrial average broke a seven-day slide Tuesday after traders sifted through the market for beaten-down stocks. The Dow rose 57 points, or 0.6 percent, after dropping 7.3 percent in just the past two weeks and reaching its lowest level since October. Traders were looking to pick up stocks while they’re still cheap, but the buying was selective and there were more losing stocks than gainers on the New York Stock Exchange. The Dow rose as much as 172 points in morning trading but also fell into the red by mid-afternoon. “There are pockets of opportunity out there. There are some areas with good valuations,” said Aaron Reynolds, senior portfolio analyst at Robert W. Baird in Milwaukee. High-tech and oil service companies were among the market leaders. But retailers slumped amid downbeat comments from analysts and ahead of reports later in the week on June sales. Macy’s Inc. fell 2.5 percent, while Home Depot Inc. lost 1.5 percent. The unevenness to the day’s moves signaled that traders remain on edge about the economy.
