Triad could get political boost from Census BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Recent estimates from the U.S. census showing that High Point and the Triad posted strong gains in population since 2000 could yield a positive political outcome for the city and region this decade, a pair of local analysts say. During next year’s N.C. General Assembly session, state legislators will craft new district lines based on the outcome of the 2010 census. If estimates so far are an indication, High Point and the Triad stand to

The results of the 2010 census will be used by North Carolina legislators to fashion district lines through the decade for the state’s 170 N.C. General Assembly seats and 13 congressional districts – unless the state’s population growth since 2000 justifies a 14th congressional district. Legislators would hash out new district lines during the 2011 General Assembly session that begins in January, with the new districts to take effect for the 2012 election cycle.

gain representation in the 170-member General Assembly because of population growth. A recent estimate indicates that the city of High Point gained 19 percent in population from 2000-09, or from 86,609 to

103,396 residents. High Point posted the largest percentage gain among municipalities in the Triad, though the vast majority of Piedmont communities recorded increases. By contrast, some mu-

no doubt that the Triad area will be a big winner,” said Matthew DeSantis, professor of political science at Guilford Technical Community College. The redrawing of state legislative lines based on the 2010 census will continue a shift in the political landscape of North Carolina, said John Dinan, professor of political science at Wake Forest University. “The major metropolitan areas in the state are likely to gain seats in contrast with rural

nicipalities clustered in parts of eastern North Carolina or the foothills of western North Carolina reflect decreases in population from 2000-09, according to the estimates. If the estimates hold up in the official census, that means legislative seats could erode in areas losing population while regions such as the Triad, Charlotte metropolitan area and Research Triangle Park could gain state legislative seats. “Every 10 years when you have the census, there’s going to be winners and there’s going to be losers.

DEADLINE NEARS: Guilford school system needs transportation requests. 1B

Region may face tougher pollution standards. 2A BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Recent hazy days have shown that several Triad counties have some of the dirtiest air in the state. Guilford County got an “F” for the number of high ozone days in the latest American Lung Association report with 37 Code Orange ozone days and one in the red category for 2006-08. Code Orange means people who are sensitive to air pollution should avoid moderate outdoor exertion. Code Red means air is unhealthy. Health officials urge the elderly, people with respiratory problems and those who are active outdoors to monitor ozone levels carefully. Smog forms in hot and sunny weather when auto emissions and other chemicals are converted into the irritating ozone gas. Friday was another Code Orange ozone day for the Triad, the fifth since the heat wave began this month. Among other Triad counties, Forsyth also has an F for ozone, along with Rockingham and Caswell counties. The report lists Rowan County as the nation’s 17th smoggiest with 78 Code Orange ozone days during the reporting period. Mecklenburg County ranked 22nd.

High Point Univeristy soccer goalie Michael Chesler gets in his mileage early in the morning to avoid the heat and high ozone concentration. The association’s 2010 “State of the Air” report ranks the Charlotte-Gastonia-Salisbury metropolitan area as the 10th most ozone-polluted. Swain County on the Tennessee border is among the most smog-free places. Air quality is improving, however. State smog levels reached the lowest point on record in 2009, the N.C. Division of Air Quality reported, partly because electric utilities have reduced emissions of smog-

Housing officials may have deal for Clara Cox site BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Point Housing Authority officials could be a step closer to resolving an ongoing challenge. For years the authority has been trying to line up a funding mechanism for the proposed Clara Cox Homes redevelopment project in southeast High Point. The agency is in the final stages of enlisting a tax credit investor for the project, according to Bob Davis, chairman of the authority’s Board of Commissioners.

Davis said he hopes the arrangement will be finalized within a month or so, which would clear the way for the start of construction more than five years after the authority started looking for a way to finance the development. “With these deals, you wait until the last minute to make sure they’re going to sign on the bottom line, so I hope within 30 days, we’ll have something good to announce on that,” he said. Officials have sent all the paperwork associated with the project to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop-

ment for approval, Davis said. This is the second time the authority has been through this process with a prospective investor. SunTrust Banks Inc. was slated to invest in the tax credits, but the company backed out of the deal before it closed the deal last year. That scuttled plans to begin construction last summer. The recession has been blamed for the slow pace of the project and the difficulty with finding investors. Initially, the authority sought a federal HOPE VI grant to revitalize the 20-acre site of the

former Clara Cox Homes public housing community, which was demolished in 2005. After the authority’s applications were rejected, officials shifted to the current financing plan. The project has been envisioned as a three-phase development that will consist primarily of multifamily rental units. Authority officials said recently that the latest plans call for the first phase to consist of 80 units and the second phase to include 92 units. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Failing grade.1A BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Federal officials could decide as early as next month on proposed stricter ozone standards that could change Triad smogfighting plans as soon as next year. The Triad has an EPAapproved smog-fighting plan, but the agency still monitors air pollution. Communities must meet the standards to attract

new industries. EPA set a smog standard of 75 parts per billion in 2008. The agency could lower that to as low as the 60 parts per billion favored by the American Lung Association. With a lower standard, half of North Carolina’s 100 counties could fail, state officials estimate. “This new standard will be very important for us,” said Hanna Cockburn, transportation planner for the Piedmont Triad Council of Governments. “We expect we will have to make some changes in our air-quality plan.”

The plans can work. Average ozone levels dropped 25 percent nationwide between 1980 and 2008, according to EPA. Local changes could range from adding more counties to the Triad Air Quality Early Action Compact to boosting mass transit, Cockburn said. “In the worst case scenario, we would have to include nearly all the counties in the area in the new maintenance plan,” Cockburn said. The compact includes as many as 11 Triad counties and 25 mu-

nicipalities. Compact members battled ozone by persuading the Duke Power plant in Stokes County to cut emissions and government agencies to replace aging public fleet vehicles with cleaner and more efficient ones. Agencies also have encouraged more people to commute on buses. “We have done the big stuff,” Cockburn said. “We know we will have to make decisions about what is important for controlling traffic congestion and air quality.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

More than 1,000 citations handed out in Triad during DWI crackdown drivers from our roads is greatly appreciated.” During the campaign, officers statewide conducted more than 4,609 sobriety checkpoints and dedicated patrols. Counties with the highest number of DWI citations included Mecklenburg (87), Wake (77) and New Hanover (65). Officers also issued 4,305 safety belt and 738 child passenger safety violations, 14,641 speeding violations and 835 drug charges. In addition, they apprehended 476 fugitives from justice and recovered 44 stolen vehicles. Locally, 32 DWI charges were filed as a result of 14 checkpoints and 63 saturation patrols in Guilford County.

HIGH POINT – Law enforcement officers in local counties filed thousands of traffic and criminal citations during a recent enforcement campaign that coincided with the July 4 holiday. The “Booze It & Lose It: Operation Firecracker” campaign ran June 28 through July 4 statewide, with officers citing 1,291 motorists for driving while impaired. The charges were among the 49,235 traffic and criminal citations issued statewide. “We received an outpouring of support from law enforcement from across the state during this effort,” said David Weinstein, director of the Governor’s Highway Safety Program. “Their dedication in removing impaired

A total of 49 criminal violations were reported, including 25 drug charges. Officers cited 125 people for speeding and recorded 42 citations for driving while license revoked, among the highest county totals in that category. Randolph County-based officers recorded 11 DWI charges after 12 checkpoints and 68 dedicated patrols were conducted.

The two sides weren’t in accord on how to reduce the perception that campaign donations affect how elected officials appoint board and commission members or make contract decisions. The package expected to be approved by lawmakers and sent to Gov. Beverly Perdue also will make it a felony to give $10,000 or more in illegal campaign contributions in a single election, expand information state agencies must make public about employees and expand ethics law coverage and lobbyist waiting period to cover more state employees. “We have strong

laws today but not strong enough,” Basnight told reporters. “These just give clarity and create a transparency that should have occurred.” Democrats in both chambers reached a compromise on an economic incentives bill that expands the size of tax breaks to the film industry and creates preferential tax treatment for green-friendly tenants in industrial parks. One more House vote was required early today. Basnight said the governor told him Friday the film breaks she sought to make North Carolina more competitive with other states weren’t generous enough, but a Perdue spokeswoman said later the Legislators didn’t re-

move a limit on tax rebates beyond the first $1 million of a movie star’s salary for a North Carolina-based production. The future was unclear on competing House and Senate legislation requiring police to take DNA samples of people when they are arrested on serious charges and a separate Senate bill setting new rules corporations must follow to report political activities in light of a U.S. Supreme Court decision. But the House and Senate agreed late Friday afternoon in separate votes to create a new state regional commission formed in response to the controversy over dams owned by Alcoa Inc. along the Yadkin River

Four gunmen killed in Mexico MEXICO CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Four suspects have been killed in a shootout with police in the Mexican border state of Coahuila and five civilian bystanders have been wounded. Two of the bystanders are in serious condition, while three are listed as stable at local hospitals. The state attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said Friday the wounded people were traveling on the highway near the city of Torreon at the time of the confrontation. The clash occurred late Thursday in a region where drug gangs have been active.

Family dramas unfolded behind the scenes Friday as the fiction of ordinary American life was replaced by the realities of modern Russia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and early indications were that the spy ring did not get a heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They obviously were very bad spies if they got caught.

The regulation approved by the provincial legislature allowed police to question and potentially arrest anyone near the downtown Toronto security zone set up for the June 26-27 global economic summit if they refused to produce identification or be searched.

Three vans of police officers arrived at the offices of Patrice de Maistre, chief financial adviser to Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt.

Norwegian terror trial could face problems OSLO, Norway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The arrest of three suspected al-Qaida members planning bomb attacks and operating in Norway went smoothly, but a conviction might be harder to get. Despite tightening anti-terrorism laws since 9/11, Norwegian prosecutors have yet to try a successful case, and experts say the latest arrests may run into problems faced by earlier cases. The arrests might not end in a conviction because of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strict conditions for conspiracy cases.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NATO took the blame on Friday for accidentally killing six civilians and wounding several others in eastern Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just a day after six Afghan soldiers died in a botched coalition airstrike. The back-to-back incidents come as international troops are trying to gain the trust of the Afghan people and improve coordination with Afghan security forces in hopes of handing over more responsibility for security to them nearly nine years into the war. NATO said an assessment team, comprising both coalition and Afghan forces, determined that the civilians were killed when artillery fire fell short of its target Thursday in Jani Khel district of Paktia prov-

Authorities had arrest warrants for 158 people and hoped to seize more than $1 million in property in an attempt to dismantle drug trafficking gangs and reduce crime in Mayaguez during the upcoming Central American and Caribbean Games, said Special Agent Waldo Santiago, a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman. By Friday afternoon, it was not clear how many arrests and seizures had been made. But the special agent in charge of the DEAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caribbean division, Javier F. Pena, said the operation caught the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most hard-core and violent traffickers terrorizing this part of the island.â&#x20AC;? The DEA brought agents from throughout the Caribbean to assist Puerto Rican police in the arrests.

Suicide bombs kill 62 PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two suicide bombings killed 62 people Friday outside a government office in a region along the Afghan border where the Pakistani army and U.S. missiles have had some success in decreasing the number of such attacks. The assault, which wounded at least 111 people, was one of the deadliest in Pakistan this year. There was speculation that the bombers were targeting anti-Taliban tribal elders visiting the government office in the village of Yakaghund, part of the Mohmand tribal area in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northwest.

The attackers struck within seconds of each other as two U.S. senators met with Pakistani leaders in the capital, Islamabad, to discuss their

countriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cooperation in the fight against terrorism, much of it being waged in the lawless tribal belt bordering Afghanistan.

Obama is trying to take God from this country I can still remember watching people waving those flags while President Obama smiled at the fools who were waving them. I can bet he was thrilled when they later found the flags in dumpsters since he wouldn’t even salute it. Even Pastor Wright tried to tell people Obama was a player.

He is doing his best to take God from this country and it shows. America is constantly going downhill. Our God-given oceans coughing up sticky oil deposits, illegals gaining more ground every day. Even a politician said on TV that if he could, Obama would legalize all illegals if it would help him. As for him showing no emotions: Do you remember how he was overcome with anger when the police handcuffed his friend when he refused to cooperate with police about breaking into his house? If these crooked, evil politicians don’t start getting voted out, then it’s true that the devil does look out for his own. CARL TYSINGER Trinity

OTHER VIEW

Shakespeare’s Macbeth, pondering murder, muses that if the deed is to be done, “’twere well it were done quickly.” The General Assembly was spared such foul intent as it crafted another recession-plagued state budget. But it heeded the counsel offered by the ambition-plagued nobleman: If it’s an unpleasant task, better to go ahead and get it over with. The budget thus was wrapped up and delivered for Gov. Beverly Perdue’s signature on June 30, right on time for the July 1 fiscal New Year’s. Routine? Hardly. North Carolinians can doubly appreciate this exercise in legislative punctuality, given past fiascos during which weeks have gone by in painful stalemate. This year there was no tax package to ease the sting of spending cuts and complicate matters politically. Legislators facing an $800 million revenue shortfall, an economy in the tank and election campaigns in the fall were in full butcher mode. But that’s not to say they didn’t face the familiar dilemmas about priorities. Where would their knives slice most deeply? On the whole, there was a consensus in the Democratic-controlled Legislature that the blow to education should be cushioned. That reflects the sensible judgment that North Carolina’s best hope for escaping the economic doldrums lies in strong preparation of its young people and ample retraining opportunities for workers displaced by layoffs. While lawmakers and Perdue can take satisfaction in not having had to cripple the state’s education programs, the new budget in some other areas incorporates spending cuts that will make it harder for state agencies to carry out their missions and impose real hardship on residents who look to state government to provide a safety net. A glaring example: Among $371 million whacked from the Department of Health and Human Services is some $50 million for inhome care under Medicaid, whose clients are low-income or disabled. The cut will put a halt to those services for 18,000 people, or 57 percent of those now receiving help. Officials say the neediest will be protected, but there are bound to be instances where folks who could have made worthwhile use of these services will have to do without. Republicans, agitating as usual for tax cuts, also belittled the spending cutbacks as insufficient to address another large shortfall looming next year. ... But Democratic leaders for now have achieved a balance that can fairly be described as acceptable under the circumstances.

Help save Ashtiani from being stoned to death in Iran

n custody since 2005, she sits in prison today, in Tabriz, Iran. She has already been lashed 99 times. Under duress, she confessed her guilt. For her crime, she was sentenced to be executed. She appealed, but the Supreme Court ruled against her. In the very near future, for having been found guilty of committing adultery, Sakineh Mohammadie Ashtiani is going to be stoned to death. According to Human Rights Watch (www. hrw.org), judges hearing Ashtiani’s case resorted to using their own “knowledge” rather than eyewitness testimony or evidence to render their guilty verdict: “Iran’s penal code also allows judges in hodud (morality) crimes such as adultery to use their own ‘knowledge’ to determine whether an accused is guilty in the absence of direct evidence.” According to Ashtiani’s attorney, “Two of the five judges found Ashtiani not guilty during the second trial. The three remaining judges found her guilty of adultery on the basis of their own ‘knowledge.’ Ashtiani was convicted by a majority of votes.” Mina Ahadi, coordinator for the International Committee Against Stoning (http:// stopstonningnow.com), acknowledged on CNN that Ashtiani’s execution by stoning is certain to happen. “That is why we have decided to start a very broad, international public movement. Only that can help,” she said. In the charter of the International Committee Against Stoning, which Ahadi composed, it states in part, “stoning is execution by torture; an inhuman and barbarous act condemned throughout the world as a clear example of savagery and crime against humanity.” Let’s help keep the international movement alive. I ask you to pass this information on to everyone you know. Together, we can make a difference and possibly save Sakineh Mohammadie Ashtiani from a horribly brutal death. As the ICAS charter notes, stoning someone to death is a horrifying, inhumane form of execution. And worldwide, this type of execution is disproportionately suffered by women.

Ashtiani faces being tightly wrapped in a shroud, placed in a hole in the ground where she will be buried up to her chest, and then she will be repeatedly pelted with stones by other people until her bloodied, shattered body is dead. OPINION To attain a better understanding of the inhumanity Robert of stoning, and the struggle of Healy the lawyers and activists in ■■■ Iran who seek to end it, watch the short interview with Mohammad Reza Kazemi, one of the producers of the documentary, “Women in Shroud.” The interview is interspersed with clips from the film, which he created with Farid Haerinejad. The segment is short but very informative. ( http://vimeo.com/11865624) Amnesty International (www.amnestyusa. org) is following the plight of Ashtiani, and has recently issued a call to Iran to halt all executions. On the website related to Ashtiani, they note, “Execution by stoning, however, is particularly cruel, because according to Iranian penal code, it is specifically designed to increase the victim’s suffering since the stones are deliberately chosen to be large enough to cause pain, but not so large as to kill the victim immediately.” In a last-ditch effort to gain support of people around the world and try to save their mother, Ashtiani’s two children, Faride and Sajjad, issued a plea. “Today we stretch out our hands to the people of the whole world,” the children said in the statement. “It is now five years that we have lived in fear and in horror, deprived of motherly love. Is the world so cruel that it can watch this catastrophe and do nothing about it?” Let us not be cruel. Let’s do something about it. Please spread the word, and help save a life.

FAITH THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SATURDAY, JULY 10, 2010 www.hpe.com

Reading books can be profitable in many ways A

nd what have you been reading this summer? Francis Bacon once commented, “Reading serves for delight, for ornament, for ability. The crafty contemn it; the simple admire it; the wise use it.” For years I have heard, “Never judge a book by its cover.” Get into the book itself and you may be pleasantly surprised by both its enjoyment and information. Have you ever noticed how much better you feel about yourself and what you have accomplished if you spend an hour or two each day reading books instead of watching television? Television usually leaves me empty and feeling like I could have spent the time more profitably. Was it Newt Minnow who referred to TV as “the great waste land?” What about the books Kitty and I have been reading? Last evening I opened one to read, not just look at the interesting pictures, the story of Willi Krenz, a European pastor who has lived his long life in cross-cultural contexts. The Anderson University Press titled it Always Looking For-

ward. Willi was born of German parents in the Ukraine in 1933 and grew up during the days of World War II with all its deprivations and dangers. As I read it, the esSHARING capes, times of fear, THE SPIRIT facing imprisonment and death, I kept thinking Bill here is another heroic Ellis story for a great movie. ■■■ Because of the political climate, Krenz and his family also lived in Poland and the Russian Zone of East Germany before crossing the Iron Curtain to West Germany and freedom. What an exciting story. Just reading the history of the political turmoil made it difficult to lay the book aside for the evening meal. You may order it from Warner Press, Anderson, Indiana, by phone: 765-644-7721 or 1-800-741-7721 or email: wporders@warnerpress.org or check www.warnerpress.org. Here are two other terrific books you may also order from Warner Press.

Sapphires from Psalms, by California author, Linda Newton. It is a book for today’s busy woman containing 31 priceless gems of encouragement. For women on the run, it offers a quick bit of inspiration as they weave in and out of their hectic days. Kitty likes the books by Linda Newton and thinks you will also enjoy them. Bill C. Konstantopoulos is one of the most enjoyable public speakers I have ever heard. He writes as well as he speaks. Put him in a Yankee or Dodger baseball uniform and you might think you are talking with my favorite manager, Joe Torre. You could put Joe on a speakers platform before a large audience and think you were about the hear Dr. Konstantopoulos. There is a striking likeness. “Bill K”, scholarly writer and speaker, has just written a new book packed full of valuable information for the serious and searching Christian or inquirer that he simply titles, The Holy Spirit Within Us. You will refer to it often and want to buy copies for your family and friends. What do you do when a child

dies? A member of your family or in your circle of friends? Jess Kuhl, well-known athlete and successful businessman, titled his powerful and moving book, Sometime the Rock Must Crumble, a father’s journey from heartbreak to purpose. His beautiful little daughter, Maura, lived just three days and suddenly it was over. Chet Marshall, international speaker, author and coach, writes of this tremendous book, “Incredible, inspiring, no holds barred – a must-read for every father.” Find out more about Kuhl’s speaking engagements and ordering this book by going to: www.jesskuhl.com or www.sometimestherockmustcrumble.com or call: 304-395-2511. Your friends will be ever thankful that you shared this great book with them. Get a big glass of water (by far the best and most needed drink) and settle down with good books for a summer you’ll always remember with pleasure. BILL ELLIS, P. O.

Marcion: Since you didn’t define the Scriptures, I will

ll Christians look to the Old and New Testaments as source books of knowledge about God and Jesus. Yet the idea of a “New” Testament was not initially obvious to early church leaders; it took more than 100 years for the early Christians to realize they needed a Scripture to call their own. It took a heretic attempting to substantiate his false beliefs to propel church leaders to establish what would become the New Testament. That heretic, named Marcion (died app. 160), formulated his own Scripture by picking and choosing (and slicing and dicing) some of the future New Testament books. While none of Marcion’s writings exist, much of his thought and some of his background can be extrapolated from other writings of the time. Marcion grew up the son of a Bishop, yet was excommunicated from his church because of immorality. He

became a wealthy ship owner and eventually moved to Rome in app. 140. He joined a church and, over the next several years, developed his unique theology. His system began by rejecting the God of the STUDYING THE CHURCH Old Testament. Marcion believed that this God was a God of Law and not Mark of love. That explained Nickens why God commanded ■■■ such actions as telling Israelites to kill all the men, women, children and livestock in certain battles (I Samuel 15:3). The God of love, found in the New Testament, was revealed by Jesus. Even more, Jesus came to overthrow the God of Law. This point of view caused Marcion to not only reject the Old Testament as Scripture, but it led

him to believe that, of all the Apostles, only Paul had correctly understood Jesus. Why Paul? Because Paul spoke out more forcefully than the other apostles against the Law of the Old Testament. The result? Marcion created a Scripture which only included 10 letters of Paul and a Marcion-edited version of the Gospel of Luke. Why only 10 letters of Paul when the New Testament contains 13 letters of Paul? Good question. The three not found in the Marcion New Testament are I & II Timothy and Titus, commonly known as the Pastoral Epistles. No one knows for certain why these were not included: either Marcion did not know of them, or he rejected them. And the Marcion-edited version of the Gospel of Luke? Luke traveled with Paul and so wrote from Paul’s perspective. So Marcion worked his way through Luke, taking out any connection to the

Don’t Be Ambivalent

t is natural and even reasonable to sometimes be ambivalent, i.e., to have mixed emotions. We want that second piece of cake, but we know we will feel guilty if we eat it. Most of the time we know the right thing to do, but simply don’t want to do it. There are, however, times when we should feel ambivalent, since the situation genuinely contains a mix of good and bad elements. But, even then it helps to think through our options, make a decision and act, and not be tormented by the negative consequences. Many difficult decisions are difficult precisely because we know that there will be negative consequences no matter what we do and we can’t always please everyone. So, if we are struggling with a decision, we should

weigh the pros and the cons, consider how the decision reflects our values, pray about the decision, and then make the decision with confidence that we did the best that we could with the available information. Don’t let ambivalence paralyze us. Enjoy that first piece of cake, and indeed, savor it. But, we should turn down the second one, and be confident that we are doing the right thing.

Old Testament God and the Law. Marcion was again excommunicated in 144, this time from all Christian churches, but eventually his message reached a large part of the Roman Empire. One story has Marcion meeting the great Christian leader Polycarp in Rome in 154. Marcion asked Polycarp if he knew who he was and Polycarp replied, “You are the firstborn of Satan.” His message was so compelling that Marcion churches can be located as late as the end of the Third Century, more than 100 years later. Eventually they ceased to exist. The early church leaders decided to establish the correct New Testament in part by dealing with this heretic and to reduce future heresies by stating which books would be accepted by all the churches.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A split decision from Presbyterian leaders on two gay-friendly measures guarantees even more debate among the U.S. churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members on an issue theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been divided over for years. Delegates to the Presbyterian churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convention in Minneapolis voted Thursday for a more liberal policy on gay clergy but decided not to redefine marriage in their church constitution to include same-sex couples. Approval of both measures could have made the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) one of the most gay-friendly major Christian churches in the U.S. Even the more liberal stance on gay clergy faces more debate before it can become church policy. A majority of the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 173 U.S. presbyteries must approve it. Two years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after years of efforts by supporters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a similar measure was sent out to presbyteries but died when 94 of them voted against it. Both of Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s votes were close. Fiftyone percent of delegates voted to shelve the proposal to redefine marriage as being between â&#x20AC;&#x153;two peopleâ&#x20AC;? instead of between â&#x20AC;&#x153;a man and a

But supporters say Presbyterians have spent

enough time mulling it over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing acts of desperation by those who feel their way of life is slipping away,â&#x20AC;? the Rev. Ray Bagnuolo, the openly gay pastor of Janhus Presbyterian Church in New York City, said after the marriage vote.

CHURCH CALENDAR

Priests who abuse impaired targeted VATICAN CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Vatican is cracking down on priests who sexually abuse mentally impaired adults, sanctioning them with the same set of punishments meted out for clerics who rape and molest children, The Associated Press has learned. A church source close to the Vatican told the AP on Thursday that a soon-tobe-released Vatican document on handling clerical abuse of minors under age 18 would also refer to adults with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;imperfect use of reason.â&#x20AC;? Such particularly vulnerable victims will now have their cases handled directly by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under a special set of norms that can result in a priest being quickly defrocked without a canonical trial. The source asked that his name not be used because the document has not yet been released to the public.

Although early registration ended Thursday at midnight, bikers can register the day of the event they would like to participate in except for the time trials. Registration for the street sprints is $20 for juniors and $30 for others and ends three hours before the first heat. Registration for the road races starts one hour before the race and costs $30 for juniors and $45 for others. Because the proceeds go to charity, registration fees are tax deductible. More than $10,000 in total prize money will be given to winners of each event in

each category. Last year more than 800 bikers from all over the country came to Lexington for this biking event. New this year is chip timing, which uses a computer chip and transponder to accurately time and place 80 athletes per second at speeds up to 45 miles per hour, with instantaneous results on demand. The Piedmont Triad Omnium is the only one in North Carolina that utilizes the new technology. Chip timing also allows for personal information on each participant to be automatically transmitted to the race announcer via computer monitor. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – The deadline is here. Parents whose children did not ride a Guilford County Schools bus last year or who have any other residence changes have until Monday to file a request for the 2010-11 school year bus service. Students do not need to submit a request form if they rode the bus last year, have the same address and are attending the same school. The transportation deadline for students who will be attending magnet schools or high school options was June 1. GCS operates one of the largest bus fleets in the state. More than half of the district’s students – or about 40,000 elementary, middle and high school students – ride school buses daily. School officials adjust routes each year. The Board of Education approved consolidating some bus stops during budget discussions to save $173,000. The bus stop change means some students may have to walk on average two-tenths of a mile farther to bus stops. The transportation request form is available at www.gcsnc.com/transportation/transmain.htm. Completed forms should be returned to the GCS Transportation Department, 131 Franklin Blvd., Greensboro, NC, 27401. The forms can be faxed to 336370-8932. Parents and students with questions about the deadlines can contact the GCS Transportation Department at 336-3708920.

Salon closes after chain files bankruptcy BY PAUL B. JOHNSON AND JORDAN HOWSE ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITERS

HIGH POINT – A bankruptcy filing this week by the Trade Secret Inc. beauty salon chain will result in the closing of its High Point location. Canadian-based Trade Secret filed for Chapter 11 protection in the U.S.

Bankruptcy Court District of Delaware Tuesday. Trade Secret indicates in its petition that it plans to transfer its 612 salons to a new entity with the backing of Regis Corp., a creditor and former owner of Trade Secret. Trade Secret Chief Executive Brian Luborsky told the Reuters news service the company would seek

to “exit” the leases of approximately 80 locations. One of those locations is the Trade Secret salon at Oak Hollow Mall. On Friday afternoon, the lights were out and the door was locked at the High Point Trade Secret location. The salon shelves were empty and listed for sale, along with the product stands.

A corporate spokesman for Trade Secret said a liquidation sale of products and some equipment is taking place through next week. Trade Secret has been at the mall for 15 years and was one of the initial tenants when Oak Hollow opened. The salon has had a city of High Point business license since 1995, city records indicate.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

According to Reuters, Trade Secret “blamed lower spending by consumers, an ‘unhealthy balance sheet,’ an inability to renegotiate enough burdensome store leases and inventory and purchasing disruptions for its decision to seek Chapter 11 protection.” pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528 jhowse@hpe.com | 888-3534

NC lawmakers may bypass judge’s ruling on reviews RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina legislators appeared ready to give business recruiters a victory over environmental advocates. The House voted 7433 Friday to approve legislation that would prevent a repeat of a judge’s ruling that potential major polluters receiving local and state inducements must accept more stringent environmental reviews up front. A final vote in the Senate was expected later Friday or today. Business boosters said legislative action was needed after a Raleigh-based judge ruled in May that state law required a fuller environmental review before air and water pollution permits are issued for a proposed cement plant and quarry near Wilmington. Opponents said if the legislation was approved and environmental reviews were delayed until after construction starts, officials wouldn’t have the guts to deny taxpayer money to a problem polluter. “If you take public money, things are a little different,” said Rep. Carolyn Justice, R-Pender. “You’re using the taxpayers’ money and the public has a right to look a little closer when you’re using the public’s money.” The judge ordered the review for the proposed Titan American plant because state law requires fuller examination for businesses that receive public money and are likely to significantly affect the environment.

Water-wise means human survival E

xperts in ecology agree that the future battlegrounds within societies will be about water not oil. There are alternatives to oil for energy and man-made materials; but water is finite but is recyclable. Societies that learn to conserve water and convert it efficiently and cheaply from seawater to potable water will rule. The same water that Jesus used for bathing more than 2,000 years ago is still here, it has just been recycled through Mother Nature. Less than 1% of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water is potable. Couple that fact to a United Nations surveys that world population will grow from 6 billion to 9 billion in the next 40 years, we have a burgeoning crisis. Statistical experts have calculated that to feed that 50% increase, we will need to produce as much food in the next four decades as we have produced worldwide in the last 10,000 years.

World Water Council Director General Ger Bergkamp expressed it this way last November, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śwe will increasingly ECOLOGY need to provide for water Gwyn to maintain Riddick agricultural and â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; forest ecosystem services which are vital for production and society â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from healthy forests controlling erosion to wetlands buffering peak river flows or biodiversity providing the backbone for pollination for our crops.â&#x20AC;? On a smaller scale, each of us can do our part by conserving water especially in our landscapes. Eliminating plants because they use water is not the answer. In fact, as population densities increase, plants provide unique contributions; they filter the air and water

of harmful pollutants, cool our urban environments and if properly placed, reduce our energy costs. Parks, open spaces and gardens are essential to our well-being. There are ways to increase your water efficiency and help plants survive future droughts and water restrictions. The North Carolina Green Council outlines six simple steps to be water-wise. Select plants that will thrive. Choose plants suited to the micro climates located throughout your landscape. Select species that are tolerant of your landscape conditions such as shade, sun and weather conditions for your area. Group your plants according to their water needs. Sedum and groundcovers generally need less water than annual flowers. Prepare the planting site. Get your soil tested and amend with organic matter to improve drainage and provide nutrients. Minimize activities

around the plant that compact the soil; compaction limits root growth, reduces water infiltration and plant growth and increases water runoff. Manage your turf grass. Grass provides benefits such as reducing runoff and soil erosion and filtering pollutants, fertilize and water according to recommendations for your species. Apply mulch. Mulch gives a finished look to your landscape but more importantly protects tree roots, keeps the soil cool, reduces moisture loss from soil by 10-25% and slowly breaks down thus providing extra organic matter and nutrients. Water efficiently. Water-wise landscapes use only enough water to maintain plant health and vigor and limit water waste. Group plants with similar water requirements. Install drip irrigation or use soaker hoses in landscape beds both of which

use less water than hand-held methods. Apply water at dawn or dusk to minimize evaporation. Install rain sensors on automatic irrigation systems. Capture rain water. Prevent storm water runoff and save the rainwater for use in the landscape. I have installed rain barrels to catch water from my pole barn rooftop. I use these to water my vegetable gardens each year. These simple steps will provide a beautiful landscape that is water efficient, environmentally friendly and contributes to the quality of our ecology.

Boy cringes when parents talk of family finances

ear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a boy in eighth grade with a big problem. My parents constantly talk about their finances in front of me. We are not poor, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re far from rich. It bothers me when they talk about how much money they owe or if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in debt or not. I have asked my parents several times not to talk about money in front of me. However, they insist that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m old enough to hear about it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a natural worrier, and when they talk about financial issues it makes me think something terrible is going to happen to us. What should I do? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Still A Kid in Linwood, N.J. Dear Still A Kid: One of the hardest things for many people to talk about is money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or lack of it. And yet, not talking about it can cause more problems than airing the subject. Your parents may be trying to educate you about finances because many schools donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. But if

it becomes too stressful for you, then leave the room. Dear Abby: ADVICE Although I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Dear my last Abby name is a â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; particularly difficult one, people often struggle with it when they go to write it after I say it. I understand this and it does not bother me. As a matter of habit, I routinely spell my name immediately after I say it, to assist the person who is writing it down. A security guard who works at a clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building I visit a few times a year has reacted in a hostile manner because I spell my name when she asks for it. She may be under the impression that I think my name is beyond her capabilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t true. Abby, is spelling my name condescending or disrespectful to someone in a business setting?

Is my routine practice annoying or is the guard overly sensitive? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;Xâ&#x20AC;? in Georgetown, Del. Dear Bill â&#x20AC;&#x153;Xâ&#x20AC;?: She may be overly sensitive or, because you have already spelled your name for her several times, she may be under the impression that you think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not very bright. Perhaps in the future you should modify your delivery: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My name is Bill â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Xybleniwicz.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spell it for you if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like me to ...â&#x20AC;? Dear Abby: For the past several years I have worked in a medical office. I see patients every three months or as little as once a year. Two years ago, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away last spring. Because of the stress of my dear motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illness and death, my weight has fluctuated. Some of my patients donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to point out how â&#x20AC;&#x153;chunkyâ&#x20AC;? I have become. One woman even went so far as to

ask if I was â&#x20AC;&#x153;happy with the way I have let myself go.â&#x20AC;? Abby, how do I defend my weight gain without getting into my personal life? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Impatient With My Patients in Rhode Island Dear Impatient: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your mother. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the last two years have been painful. I see no reason why, if someone is so insensitive as to mention your weight, you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the person have the truth with both barrels. If that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shame him or her into an apology, nothing will. However, because you prefer to conceal it, try this response: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, I gained this weight the old-fashioned way â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one bite at a time, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to come off.â&#x20AC;? DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ALTIMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At the Almost Everything Grocery & Deli in east Baltimore, a cashier hits a buzzer, allowing customers to open the locked door. Inside, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re greeted by ... very little. Many of the dingy shelves are empty, the lights are off, and the odor of cat litter hangs in the air. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no fresh produce â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sodas and salty snacks are the big sellers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a familiar scene in many of Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorest neighborhoods, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something the city is trying to address in an innovative way. Last month, Baltimore hired a food policy coordinator, making the city one of the first in the country with a paid â&#x20AC;&#x153;food czar.â&#x20AC;? While Holly Freishtatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s directive may be straightforward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; get more healthy food on the tables of the people who

need it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; accomplishing it may not be. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a budget for major initiatives, so much of her time is spent pursuing grant money. He salary doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even come from the city, which recently raised taxes and cut services to close a $121 million budget deficit. A coalition of nonprofits pays her salary, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only committed to cover 30 hours a week for a year. Nevertheless, this is progress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baltimore is ahead of the curve in one sense in that they actually hired Holly,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Winne of the Community Food Security Coalition, who has worked with food policy councils for nearly 20 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The actual idea of putting staff into this is new, but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emblematic of the growth of food policy councils around the country.â&#x20AC;? Dozens of cities and a handful of states have food policy councils,

but they tend to function as advocacy groups, pushing change from outside government. Few have taken on paid staff. New York City hired a food czar in 2007 and is currently seeking his replacement. Boston, too, is in the process of hiring one. Kansas City, Mo., has a food policy coordinator, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housed at a nonprofit. Author and sustainable food advocate Michael Pollan has called on the federal government to establish a department of food. No city or state has one either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The urgency of the situation is that we have chronic health issues and disparities in our low-income neighborhoods,â&#x20AC;? Freishtat said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food access can make a difference.â&#x20AC;? A study of Baltimore neighborhoods found that nearly a fifth of its 630,000 residents live with little or no access to fresh foods.

Cy the Cynic was mired in a losing streak and was moping around like a kid whose scoop of ice cream had fallen off his cone. “Cy takes bridge too seriously,” Rose said. “If someone thinks too many things are life-or-death, he’ll spend a lot of time dead.” Cy was distressed after today’s deal. As South he reacted to West’s preempt by jumping to slam! He ruffed the opening lead, led a trump to the queen and let the queen of diamonds ride. West won and led another spade, and Cy ruffed but had to lose a heart.

TOMORROW “It’s only money,” I consoled. “You’ll win it back tomorrow.” Cy managed a smile, so I didn’t say that after he took the queen of trumps, he could have finessed in hearts. If West won, Cy could (if trumps broke 3-1) try to reach dummy with a heart ruff to try the diamond finesse. As the cards lay, Cy’s heart finesse would win, and he could take the ace, cash a second trump and ruff a heart in dummy. When the king fell, Cy would be safe for at least 12 tricks.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A K Q J 9 8 4 H 9 8 2 D K 8 C 6. You open one spade, and your partner bids two clubs. What do you say? ANSWER: Bid four spades, showing solid spades but minimum high-card values and no slam interest. With A K Q 10 9 6 3, A 7 2, K 8, 6, you’d jump to three spades, forcing. Some players might treat the jump to four spades as denying any side-suit “control,” but I wouldn’t: With no side strength at all, you couldn’t be sure of making even four spades. South dealer N-S vulnerable

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

Mental exercise improves skills

ear Dr. Donohue: This summer I have taken up tennis. I’m 55 and never played it before. I have played many other sports. I really like tennis, so I’ve started taking lessons with a young, local pro. He played college-level tennis, and he’s a good instructor. He tells me I can improve my game by “visualizing” myself hitting the ball. I find this somewhat hard to believe. Have you heard of it? If you have, what do you make of it? – B.R.

BLONDIE

Yes, I’ve heard of it. It’s visualization, also called exercise imagery. You play your sport in your imagination. I do believe it works. It helps control anxiety, increases your confidence and perfects your performance. Many professional athletes employ visualization, and many coaches encourage its use. Olympic athletes in different sports, golfers, swimmers, ice skaters – you name it – have endorsed this method. You sit comfortably in a chair and relax. If you want, have some soothing music playing. Close your eyes and imagine you’re playing tennis, stroking the ball as your coach has taught. It helps if you have an instructional tape of your sport. You can visualize that tape with you being the player. The more senses you bring into play while you’re doing this, the more effective it becomes. Imagine the sounds that occur dur-

ing play, like the “thwack” of the ball. All of this incorporates the way the HEALTH brain controls your Dr. Paul muscles. Donohue It takes ■■■ around 30 five- to 10minute sessions before you notice any improvement. Want an example of how visualization helps motor memory? A Chinese pianist, Liu Chi Kung, was jailed for seven years. I don’t remember what the charges were. When he was released from prison, he resumed his piano playing. Critics said he played better than he did before he was imprisoned. Asked how he managed to retain and improve his playing talent, he said he practiced playing the piano in his mind every day of his jail term. That’s the same routine as visualization. It imprints into the brain the kind of wiring needed for muscle control and performance. Dear Dr. Donohue: Our son started practicing soccer with his friends about two weeks ago. He’s 14 and wants to make his school’s team. For the past three days, he has complained of ankle pain. He touches the outside of his right ankle. He said he didn’t injure or twist the ankle. The pain just happened. We wonder if we should

pursue this with a doctor. Should we? – L.L. Yes. I can only make a suggestion. Your son might have a stress fracture of his fibula, the less thick of the two lower leg bones. Stress fractures are tiny cracks in the bone. They come from sudden overuse. If your son isn’t conditioned to lots of running, his leg bone might not be up to handling the new activity. Early stress fractures don’t always show on an X-ray, but they do on a bone scan. These bone cracks heal in about four weeks, and the person can usually resume athletic activities in six weeks. Dear Dr. Donohue: We rent a cottage for the summer. It’s on a lake. Our four children swim daily and come down with “swimmers’ ear” every summer. What can I do to prevent it? – H.M. Make a solution of equal parts white vinegar and rubbing alcohol. The alcohol dries the ear, and the vinegar (acetic acid) takes care of germs that make their way into the ear canal. When your children have finished swimming for the day, dry their ears by putting the edge of a towel in the ear canal – gently. Then put two drops of the alcoholvinegar solution in the ear and let it stay for two minutes. Have the child turn his head to the shoulder to remove the mix or use the towel-edge approach again. Then treat the other ear.

New coach feels at home at Andrews T

he friends loved to play sports and they loved to watch them. T. Wingate Andrews, just a quick jog from High Point College, seemed a logical destination to catch baseball and football games, track meets – whatever might be taking place during their free time. Even then, Nat Norris was a fan of the Red Raiders, and even then, he envisioned coaching in High Point with his best friend. Wayne Jones would become a well-known figure at High Point Central, where he still guides the Bison football and track teams. Norris went another way – but has returned, at long last, as head coach of the Andrews baseball squad. “It’s a dream come true,” Norris remarked. “I was talking to Wayne and said, ‘Can you envision this? We’re both coaching in High Point, something we talked about 20-plus years ago.’ It happened, and I’m excited.” Norris grew up near Greenville and graduated from Farmville Central High School. His first visit to High Point came as a member of Louisburg College’s baseball team. The junior college squad was in town to play the Panthers, Norris ran into a High Point player he remembered from his American Legion Baseball days, and they spent the night catching up. “He asked me where I was transferring to and I told him, ‘Right now everybody’s calling,’ ” Norris said. “He took me around, I had a great time. I said, ‘You know what, I don’t care who recruits me – I’m coming to High Point College.’ ” The center fielder starred for Jim Speight’s NAIA teams in the 1988 and 1989 seasons and remains one of four Panthers tied for the most triples in a season (five in 1988). Norris’ speed on the base paths impressed Jones, who was part of an impressive 4x100-meter relay team at the time. Make that a 3x100 team, after one leg of the relay headed home before the end of the season. Jones convinced Norris to come run with the track team as soon as the baseball season concluded. “We said, ‘Nat, you’re fast enough to run with us,’ ” Jones recalled. “He made All-American in the relay with us and then he made All-American in the 100 also. He was just one of those gifted guys like that.” Norris was drafted in 1989 by the Chicago White Sox and spent one season with the club’s rookie team. While his baseball career didn’t last, he fondly recalled mingling with the likes of Frank Thomas,

Jack McDowell and Ozzie Guillen at spring training. Norris returned to the Triad to begin a management SPORTS program at Furnitureland Steve South, then Hanf moved to deliv■■■ ering furniture: “I wasn’t an ‘in the building’ kind of guy,” he remarked. Years later, he was ready to sever his ties to the area and move to Atlanta following a divorce. Then, the phone rang. Page High School’s baseball head coach, William Harden, needed someone to lead his junior varsity squad. “He told me, ‘C’mon, you know how to coach, you know the game. I’d really love to have you over here,’ ” Norris said of the conversation three years ago. “My kids really didn’t want me to leave, so I told him I would give it a shot. One thing led to another: I got into the school system and I’ve been blessed ever since. Things just worked out.” Despite spending the last three years at Page, Norris knew all about the athletic teams at Andrews. His oldest daughter, Keri, recently wrapped up an all-conference season for the Raider softball squad. She’ll be a senior next year and will get to play next spring with her sister, Ciara, a rising freshman who pitches. In a few years, Norris will get to coach his son, Randy, currently an eighth-grader. “It’s great to come back and coach at a high school that I really love,” said Nat Norris, now 44 years old. “Since the time I came to High Point I was a Red Raider.” Norris will handle the InSchool Suspension program at Andrews, holding the same job he had at Page. “I think that position was made for me,” Norris said. “It’s another way to get with kids who have behavior problems, show them the good things in life instead of them taking a path that can lead to destruction.” Perhaps the Andrews baseball job was made for him, too, all those years ago. The program has seen a revolving door of coaches since Ben Robinson had to leave the bench three years ago to assume athletic director duties. Norris said he welcomes the challenge and “trust me, it will be a whole different ballgame.” “He has a great passion for baseball and a great passion for helping kids,” Robinson said. “He’s impressive.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HPU men’s hoops travels to Bahamas in August SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – The season will start early – but with a Caribbean twist – for the High Point University men’s basketball team. The Panthers are taking a trip to the Bahamas from August 7-12 and will play two games against local competition. The trip will give the team a head start on practicing and playing together and it also represents an ideal opportunity for team bonding. The team will stay in the Royal Towers on Paradise Island. The entire HPU team is currently taking classes, playing pickup basketball and working out on the High Point campus. Since they arrived at High Point University a little over a year ago, head coach Scott Cherry and his assistants have hit the recruiting trail hard – and it is paying dividends. High Point University inked seven recruits to National Letters of Intent over the past year. The newcomers are expected to be talented and contribute to the team’s success right away, and Cherry wants to make sure the transition goes as smoothly as possible. “This is a great chance to take our new guys, incorporate them with nine returning players and give them time to bond and get to know one another,” Cherry said. “We are going to be able to utilize

six or seven days before the trip for practice. We can introduce the new guys to our terminology, drills and get them used to how hard we practice and how hard we play. Cox We won’t have to wait until October for practice to start. The team will be ingrained in it and understand what we’re looking for in early August.” High Point University will play teams from the Bahamas on August 8 and August 10. The opponents will be determined in the weeks before the trip. The other days of the trip will be spent practicing, sightseeing, touring the area and doing team-bonding activities. “The games are important. But more importantly, it’s the practice time and the time the guys get to spend around one another developing the chemistry and unity that all successful teams need to have,” saCherry said. It will be a homecoming trip for senior point guard Tehran Cox, who is originally from Nassau, Bahamas. He played two years at Arkansas-Fort Worth before transferring to HPU last season. Cox played in all 30 games at the point for HPU, averaging 4.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and a team-leading 3.4 assists.

HIT AND RUN

---

omeone much wiser than me once said that the only constant in life is change. That’s certainly true in the world of sports. Forty years ago, who would have imagined an NCAA Tournament field of 68 for men’s basketball? Yet that’s where we are today. High Point’s Bill Gansman called the other day and offered a simple, yet revolutionary idea for basketball. Why not add a 4-point line, say, 26 or 27 feet

from the basket to spice things up? Gansman suggests this new shot would open things up inside and make the little guy a much bigger force in the game. Draining a few 4-pointers from way downtown could really alter any contest. Strategically, it would give the underdog a better chance to rally in the late stages, even if the deficit is 12 or more points in the final couple of minutes. Sure, the concept seems really wild at first glance. But the same thing was said about

the ABA adding the 3-point line back in the day. Look at how accepted that shot has become today. It’s a crucial part of strategy in high school, college and pro ball. A 4-point line may never materialize in basketball. But it’s an intriguing topic to discuss. And isn’t talking sports an important part of any game?

The Bobcats have come to terms with forward Tyrus Thomas on a fiveyear, $40 million deal, ensuring the restricted free agent will stay in Charlotte. Agent Brian Elfus told The Associated Press on Friday that the deal came together after Thomas received interest from other teams. The New Jersey Nets had presented Thomas with an offer sheet. The Bobcats acquired Thomas in a trade deadline deal with Chicago in February. He averaged 10.1 points and 6.1 rebounds in 25 regular-season games with Charlotte and became a solid shot blocker.

White Sox’s Peavy done for season CHICAGO (AP) — White Sox right-hander Jake Peavy is done for the season. The 2007 NL Cy Young winner will have surgery on a detached right shoulder muscle Wednesday and hopes to be throwing again by spring training. He said his career isn’t in jeopardy and he plans to be pitching again for the White Sox by early next season. The 29-year-old Peavy was hurt delivering a pitch Tuesday night in a game against the Los Angeles Angels. The team described the injury as a detached latissimus dorsi muscle. After an MRI exam Wednesday revealed the injury, Peavy consulted with several doctors, included renowned orthopedic surgeons Dr. James Andrews and Dr. Lewis Yocum. The consensus, Peavy said, was to have surgery. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Tony Romeo, a White Sox orthopedic surgeon who specializes in shoulder and elbow repairs, at Rush University Hospital-Oak Park. Peavy is 7-6 with a 4.63 ERA in 17 starts. He was 9-6 with a 3.45 ERA with San Diego and Chicago last season, when he was limited to a career-low 16 starts due to a strained tendon in his right ankle. He went 3-0 with a 1.35 ERA in three outings with the White Sox after being on the DL for three months. The White Sox are expected to call up Daniel Hudson from Triple-A Charlotte to start Sunday’s game against the Royals.

PANTHERS SIGN APPALACHIAN STATEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S EDWARDS

---

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Carolina Panthers signed third-round pick and former Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards to a four-year, $2.5 million contract. Edwards will get about $710,000 in signing bonuses. The Panthers are converting Edwards to receiver. He could also return kicks. The Panthers traded next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-round choice to New England to get an extra third-round choice in April to take the speedy Edwards 89th overall. Edwards is the only player in NCAA Division I history to pass for 10,000 yards and rush for 4,000. He led the Mountaineers to two national championships and a monumental upset of Michigan. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move leaves only two of Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 draft picks unsigned: second-round pick Jimmy Clausen and third-rounder Brandon LaFell.

Copperheads stop HiToms two-game winning streak ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

A poster of LeBron James ends up head first in the garbage can after fans at the Harry Buffalo restaurant in Cleveland heard that James decided to play with the Miami Heat on Thursday night.

LeBronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakup with Cleveland stirs strong personal reactions BY MEGHAN BARR ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

CLEVELAND â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The elimination ceremony boiled down to a single sentence, uttered by the most coveted bachelor of them all. And it ended, as such endings always do, with tears â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the selfrighteous fury that inevitably follows being rejected live on national television. Millions of Americans glued to their television screens watched in anticipation and curiosity as LeBron James handed that coveted final rose to the Miami Heat, eliminating his remaining suitors in one cruel instant. In Cleveland, grown men cried into their beers. And for crestfallen viewers in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, the moment of truth stung like a personal betrayal. But isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t this what America asked for? We wanted the show, the spectacle, the slow build-up to the big reveal. We love watching contestants get mercilessly booted into oblivion in front of the cameras â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but we certainly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be the rejects ourselves, thank you very much. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what happened Thursday night. The morning after, people are wondering: How did a decision by one basketball player jump clean out of the realm of basketball and become an American cultural moment that will be talked about for years to come? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called masterful marketing. James played coy for weeks, dragging out his decision as the frenzied speculation went into overdrive. Rather than leave his home turf, he invited teams from various cities to come visit him instead. Meanwhile, hope and anxiety built like a balloon about to pop. Preliminary Nielsen Co. ratings showed more than seven of every 100 homes with TV sets were tuned in to the ESPN special. In Cleveland, the attention was extraordinary: one in every four homes watched James announce he was leaving his hometown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It built suspense. It kept sequencing or ratcheting up what would the choice be,â&#x20AC;? said Gerry Patnode, who leads the school of business at York College in York, Pa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody started to speculate what it would be like if LeBron came to my city.â&#x20AC;?

It was also, at another level, a bit of well-played psychological warfare. James tapped into fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; insecurity, their need for constant vindication, says Dr. Alan Hilfer, director of psychology at Maimonides Medical Center in New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody wanted to be able to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;he chose us,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Hilfer says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the good guys, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good city. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good team.â&#x20AC;? But for all the hype and the oftrepeated comparisons to Michael Jordan, James hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a single championship in his young career, a fact that was duly noted on the front page of the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Friday morning in the form of a full-length image of James seen from behind as he walks away. An arrow pointing to the fingers on Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; right hand is accompanied by this caption: â&#x20AC;&#x153;7 years in Cleveland. No rings.â&#x20AC;? As the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anger swelled on Thursday night, with people burning jerseys in the streets, Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert penned a furious open letter to fans, sounding very much like a jilted boyfriend penning a bitter missive about an old flame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown â&#x20AC;&#x2122;chosen oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn,â&#x20AC;? wrote Gilbert, who also called James a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cowardâ&#x20AC;? and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;narcissist.â&#x20AC;? Like many a prodigal son, James must now deal with the disillusionment of people like Gilbert, who is acting like a disappointed father, Hilfer says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The loyalty factor is something that everyone can be forgiven for,â&#x20AC;? says Hilfer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t loyal was unforgivable.â&#x20AC;? The sports memorabilia business Fathead Inc., a company owned by Gilbert, offered LeBron James wall graphics online Friday at price reduced from $99.99 to $17.41. (Famous traitor Benedict Arnold was born in 1741. Coincidence?) Most experts say James should have seen the vitriol coming from miles away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surely heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen enough of those old TV sitcom episodes where somebody tells three people theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go to the prom,â&#x20AC;? says Robert Thompson, a pop culture expert at Syracuse University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It never ever works well.â&#x20AC;?

U.S. routs Australia in under-17 hoops tourney HAMBURG, Germany (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The United States routed Australia 105-70 on Friday to advance to the semifinals of the FIBA under-17 world basketball championship.

The Americans are 60 and will face Canada today. Canada defeated China 102-96. The U.S. has scored 100 or more points in its last five contests.

It was like the finale of the cult ABC drama â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lost,â&#x20AC;? which finally ended in May to much fanfare, Thompson says. Like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lost,â&#x20AC;? James set himself up with too many complications, too many plot twists, to allow for a satisfying ending, Thompson says. Had James picked Cleveland, fans probably would have been more sympathetic. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a narrative we would pay to watch. The hometown hero forgoes the temptation of sunny, wealthy Florida to stay in chilly, recession-hit Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all for the love of his doting fan base. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rosy Hollywood story that even fans in Chicago or New York would have been hardpressed to criticize. Loyalty is a strange word in the world of professional sports, where money trumps all on both sides, Patnode says. Sports franchises and athletes have proved many times over that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll inevitably choose business over loyalty, although James rejected both loyalty and more money from Cleveland in hopes of winning a championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friendship and talent and such is wonderful, but James himself said it last night: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a business,â&#x20AC;? says Robert Passikoff, founder of Brand Keys, a New York-based brand loyalty research group. And in an age where reality television rules the airwaves, Americans should brace themselves for more sporting spectacles in a similar vein, experts say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Decision,â&#x20AC;? as Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; special was famously titled, may inspire marketing executives to try to create sporting events out of behindthe-scenes athletic choices to lure an audience and drum up revenue. And as for fans, they should know better. Herein lies the ageold problem of idolizing sports heroes, a one-way relationship that has a high probability of ending badly. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making an emotional investment in someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not returning the favor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;LeBron James is not worried about you,â&#x20AC;? says Lou Manza, professor of psychology at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You might go to the games and cheer and everything, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hearing your cheer. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing the crowd.â&#x20AC;? EDITORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOTE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Meghan Barr is the APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cleveland correspondent.

The Copperheadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Michael Wills got the win, working six innings with three strikeouts, two walks, 10 hits and two runs. Cody Penny took the loss for the

HiToms. He went four innings with five hits, five runs, three strikeouts and two walks. Tanner Mathis sparked the HiTomsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attack, going 3-for-5 with three singles, an RBI and a run scored. Alex Yarbrough finished 3-for-4 with two doubles and a single for the HiToms. The HiToms play host to Martinsville today at 7 p.m.

Braves clip Mets THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Melky Cabrera and Omar Infante hit back-to-back homers with two outs in the seventh inning off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, and the NL Eastleading Atlanta Braves

beat the New York Mets 4-2 Friday night. Also Friday, Stephen Strasburg earned his third win. He shut down San Francisco, allowing three hits in six innings, and Adam Dunn hit two homers, leading the Nationals to an 8-1 win.

Seattle trades Lee to Texas SEATTLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cliff Lee is headed to Texas. The Seattle Mariners sent the ace left-hander and reliever Mark Lowe to the AL West-leading Rangers on Friday for first baseman Justin Smoak and three minor leaguers. It was the third trade in less than a year for Lee, who can become a free agent after this season. The 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner went 8-3 with a 2.34 ERA in 13 starts for the Mariners, who acquired him from the Philadelphia Phillies in December. Smoak is one of the top prospects in the majors, but the switch hitter batted only .209 in 70 games for the Rangers this season. Also coming from Texas are right-handers Blake Beavan and Josh Lueke, and infielder Matt Lawson. Lee missed the first month of the season with an abdominal injury but quickly made up for the lost time. He is 5-1 with a 1.76 ERA in his last six starts, earning four of his major league-best five complete games. Lee, who has just six walks in 1032â &#x201E;3 innings this year, now will wear a Rangers uniform in Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All-Star game in Anaheim. Also leaving Seattle is Lowe, one of the Marinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most consistent relievers in recent seasons. But Lowe likely is done for the year following back surgery last month. Smoak and Beavan are the big pieces coming back to Seattle. Smoak was the Rangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; No. 1 pick in 2008 and Beavan was their No. 1 selection a year earlier. Beavan was 10-5 with a 2.78 ERA in 110 innings for Double-A Frisco this season.

A patron walks back to the clubhouse in a heavy rainstorm during the second round of the U.S. Women’s Open at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa., on Friday. Play was suspended with 100 of the field of 156 yet to complete their second rounds. Play resumes this morning.

Heavy rain rules day at U.S. Women’s Open THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKMONT, Pa. – Heavy rain that began with 100 of the 156 golfers still to begin or complete the second round caused play to be suspended Friday at the U.S. Women’s Open. Play is scheduled to resume at 7:30 a.m. today at Oakmont Country Club, with the third round to begin with threesomes teeing off at 2:30 p.m. Sophie Gustafson was the leader on the course at even par when play was halted, but she had completed only one hole of the second round. Cristie Kerr, coming off her 12-stroke victory in the LPGA Championship two weeks ago, and first-round leader Brittany Lang were the clubhouse leaders at 1-over 143. Kerr shot

an even-par 71 on Friday and Lang followed her opening-round 69 with a 3-over 74.

David Frost set the old 36-hole record of 127 in 2000.

STRICKER LEADS GOYDOS BY ONE STROKE

CLARKE UP BY FOUR AT SCOTTISH OPEN

SILVIS, Ill. – Defending champion Steve Stricker broke the 36-hole record at the John Deere Classic with a two-round total of 126, which is 16 under at TPC Deere Run. Stricker, playing in the morning, shot a 5under 66 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead over Paul Goydos into the third round. Goydos sent a buzz through the golf world in the opening round by shooting only the fourth 59 in PGA Tour history. Goydos couldn’t maintain the deft putting touch that had enabled him to join golf’s most exclusive club and he settled for a 3-under 68, leaving him at 127.

LUSS, Scotland – Darren Clarke was nearly flawless in miserable conditions in the Scottish Open, opening a four-shot lead on a dreary Friday at Loch Lomond. Clarke chipped in for birdie on the tough 16th and holed a series of 20-foot birdie putts on the front nine for a 4-under 67. He stands at 10-under 132 going into the weekend. Clarke has played cleanly in conditions that caused Phil Mickelson to take a quintuple-bogey on the 18th hole and miss the cut by one stroke, and Ernie Els to make consecutive double bogeys in his round.

Allmendinger, Petty have ‘moved on’ from spat JOLIET, Ill. (AP) – AJ Allmendinger says he’s trying to move on from his confrontation with car owner and NASCAR legend Richard Petty last week. After crashing during Saturday’s race at Daytona International Speedway, Allmendinger had a heated exchange with Petty in the garage area, turning his back on his boss and storming away from the seven-time NASCAR champion.

“We had a really fast car last week. I was disappointed,” Allmendinger said in comments issued through a Richard Petty Motorsports team spokesperson at Chicagoland Speedway on Friday. “I’m the hardest one on myself. We’re both passionate and we were both frustrated. And I’d rather have him (Petty) frustrated than not care at all. We’ve definitely moved on and we’re ready to pick back up here at Chicago.”

Allmendinger had strong cars at both Daytona races but finished outside the top 30 both times. “Daytona is behind us and we’re focusing on this weekend,” team vice president Robbie Loomis said. “AJ’s a hard-charging and fierce competitor and he’s as passionate as anybody out there. I can’t describe how bad that guy wants to win and he will win. It’s just a matter of when.”

Spain zeroes in on Dutch playmaker Sneijder POTCHEFSTROOM, South Africa (AP) – After stifling Germany, Spain is now focused on stopping Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder and the Netherlands dangerous offense in the World Cup final. Keeping Sneijder in check is a job that will likely fall to midfielder Sergio Busquets on Sunday at Soccer City in Johannesburg. “Sneijder is such a great player and he showed it this season with ... Inter Milan” which won the Italian league, cup and Champions League, Busquets said on Friday. “To stop him we have to try and be one unit so that he doesn’t even have a moment to think. We’ve already been able to do that with (Germany playmaker Mesut) Ozil and other good players.” Spain’s defense hasn’t conced-

ed a goal in the three knockout round games in South Africa and made a dominant Germany offense look dormant in its 1-0 semifinal victory. But Busquets doesn’t expect the Netherlands to sit back and defend, as Germany mostly did, against the European champion. “Holland is going to play it’s football,” Busquets said. “That’s important, that everyone plays their own game and shows their cards.” Though Internet sensation Paul the Octopus picked Spain to beat the Dutch, Spanish players sounded like they didn’t need the vote of confidence. “The team has reached a good level, we’ve played a very serious tournament,” Busquets said. “The other day we played our best game but I hope the best game is to come. We shouldn’t

worry about Holland, but let’s also hope we get all the luck of the world and things work out.” Coach Vicente del Bosque is not expected to make many changes to his lineup after starting seven players came from Spanish champion Barcelona. “Barcelona is the best team in the world,” defender Carlos Marchena of Valencia said Friday. “They know each other to perfection and it’s a pleasure to be at their side.” Marchena, who has appeared 55 straight times internationally without being on the losing side, believes team unity is one of Spain’s strongest points as it looks to join France and Germany as the other nations to hold both the European Championship and World Cup trophy at the same time. “There have been great nation-

Uruguay, Germany prepare for one more WC match JOHANNESBURG (AP) – It’s one of the hardest games in soccer to prepare for. Just days after the bitter disappointment of missing out on the World Cup final, players from Uruguay and Germany have to lift themselves one final time in today’s third-place match at Port Elizabeth’s Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. Fans don’t generally remember the team that finishes third at a World Cup, but it gives the Uruguayans and Germans a chance to leave South Africa with a victory and something to build on. Uruguay brought back memories of previous glory in 1930 and 1950 with its run to the final. Yet, the Celeste left Cape Town devastated after the 3-2

semifinal loss to the Netherlands, according to striker Diego Forlan. Pride with Uruguay’s best World Cup showing in 40 years – the country last made the semifinals in 1970 – is mixed with feelings of what might have been. “We were so close to a World Cup final and we have missed a great chance,” Forlan said. “We’ve had a good tournament and it’s been a fine World Cup for us,” added midfielder Egidio Arevalo, “but we’re still gutted.” For Germany, its 1-0 defeat by Spain was possibly even more painful considering its performances leading up to the game. The Germans led the tournament with 13 goals and routed old rivals England and Argentina on their way to the semifinals.

al teams before, but this team is the one that has been able to be the best ’team,’ and that’s how it has managed to get where it is,” Marchena said. “In this moment, we’re making up for all those bitter moments we’ve suffered.” The 21-year-old Busquets is one of the Barcelona players making an impact for Spain, showing fine form since taking over for Marcos Senna in midfield. But Busquets sounded like the World Cup butterflies were still circling around his stomach. “I’m young and every day I feel much better, like I’m learning more from sharing these experiences with such great players,” Busquets said. “I’m very happy with my play at this World Cup, but without the help of the team I wouldn’t have been able to reach this level.”

TODAY’S THIRD-PLACE MATCH

---

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

GERMANY (6) VS. URUGUAY (16), 2:30 P.M. PORT ELIZABETH The Germans looked dominant in beating old rivals England 4-1 and Argentina 4-0 before being stymied by Spain 2-1 in the semifinals. Uruguay was the final South American team to qualify and the last from the continent to stay alive, before it lost 3-2 to the Netherlands in the semifinals. Germany: Striker Miroslav Klose has 14 World Cup goals, one shy of Ronaldo’s career record. He also has an ailing back, but has said he wants to play against Uruguay. Thomas Mueller, who has four goals in the tournament, returns from a suspension for two yellow cards in the first five matches. Uruguay: Diego Forlan has been a sensation in this World Cup with four goals and stretches of dominant soccer. He gets striker partner Luis Suarez back from suspension after Suarez’s handball saved Uruguay from defeat in the quarterfinals against Ghana, but earned him a red card. Notable Fact: The Germans also finished third four years ago when they hosted the tournament, beating Portugal. Uruguay never has played for third place.

GUEUGNON, France (AP) – A brief look at Friday’s sixth stage of the Tour de France: Stage: A mainly flat 141.3-mile run from Montargis to Gueugnon that again favored sprinters. Winner: Britain’s Mark Cavendish clinched the 12th stage Tour win of his career, and second in two days. U.S. rider Tyler Farrar was second and veteran Alessandro Petacchi of Italy was third. Yellow Jersey: Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland, who finished in the main pack. Defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain stayed in ninth, 1:40 back, and seventime champion Lance Armstrong remained 18th, 2:30 back. Next stage: Today’s seventh stage is a 102.8-mile trek from Tournus to Station des Rousses that has six low- to mid-grade climbs in the Jura mountains.

Armstrong looks to mountains to make move GUEUGNON, France (AP) – Lance Armstrong has his mind on the mountains. The seven-time Tour de France champion is in 18th place after Friday’s stage, which was won by Mark Cavendish for his second straight sprint-finish victory. If Armstrong is going to make a move, it may come in the climbs. The weather was hot – 95-degree heat – and some tempers even hotter for the 141-mile sixth stage from Montargis to Gueugnon. Two riders broke out into a bike wheelwhacking brawl after the finish line. “Guys were suffering the whole stage,” Armstrong said. Cavendish called the stage – the longest this year – his hardest ride so far.

Webber tops practice for British GP SILVERSTONE, England (AP) – Red Bull drivers Marc Webber and Sebastian Vettel posted the fastest times in each of Friday’s practices for Formula One’s British Grand Prix as McLaren’s upgrades failed to produce instant signs of improvement. Having produced a Red Bull one-two at Silverstone last year, Vettel and Webber again go into Saturday’s qualifying as the sharp team. Webber set the fastest lap of the day in the afternoon session, completing the modified circuit in 1 minute, 31.234 seconds, while Vettel set the pace in the morning session by clocking 1:32.280 Following his spectacular accident in the European Grand Prix two weeks ago, Webber is using a chassis formerly used by Vettel. Vettel won the Valencia race to trail championship leader Lewis Hamilton by 12 points, and six behind world champion Jenson Button.

Wholesale inventories rise in May; sales fall WASHINGTON (AP) – Inventories held by wholesalers rose for a fifth consecutive month in May but sales fell for the first time in more than a year, sending a cautionary signal about the strength of the recovery. Wholesale inventories increased 0.5 percent while sales dropped 0.3 percent, the Commerce Department said Friday. It was the first decline for sales since March of 2009. The May sales decline is the latest sign that the economic recovery could be losing momentum in the second half of the year.

Patent holder sues smartphone makers NEW YORK – The patent-holding company that won a settlement of more than $600 million from the maker of the BlackBerry said Friday it has sued six other makers of phones and phone software. Patent company NTP Inc. is suing Apple Inc., Google Inc., Microsoft Corp., HTC Corp., Motorola Inc. and LG Electronics Inc., claiming infringement of the same patents that were at issue in its suit against BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. The suit against RIM ended with a $612.5 million settlement in 2006.

Fiat confirms new car will be made in Italy MILAN – Italy’s Fiat, which controls Chrysler Group LCC, will proceed with a ¤700 million ($886 million) plan to move production of its new Panda compact from Poland to a plant near Naples despite an unresolved dispute with an Italian union, the automaker announced Friday. Fiat’s project to repatriate production risks failure due to resistance from one union that opposed conditions set by the automaker, including more flexible work hours and new mechanisms for resolving labor disputes.

Gas prices fall; oil climbs higher NEW YORK – Drives to the beach and summer road trips will cost less this weekend, with average gasoline pump prices around the country more than four cents lower than a week ago. A gallon of unleaded regular costs $2.713, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. A year ago the average was $2.58 a gallon. Most analysts think gas prices have peaked for the summer and will be generally lower over the next couple of months. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

DILBERT

Weakness in sales could discourage businesses from boosting their orders. That would translate into a slowdown in factory production. Businesses helped spur the recovery by rebuilding their inventories after slashing them during the recession. The gross domestic product expanded at a 5.6 percent rate in the final three months of last year, largely because of the swing in inventories. The trend in inventory rebuilding continued in the first quarter of this year, but at a more modest pace. That was among the reasons

growth slowed to 2.7 percent. Mike England, an economist with Action Economics, said Friday’s wholesale inventories report has persuaded him to lower his growth estimate for the April-June quarter, to 2.8 percent from 3.3 percent. England noted that the report lowered April’s inventory growth to a 0.2 percent increase – half the initial estimate of 0.4 percent. But Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays Capital, said the drop in sales wasn’t a major concern because the inventory to sales ratio remained low.

China renews Google’s license BEIJING (AP) – China renewed Google’s license to operate a website, preserving the search giant’s toehold in the world’s most populous country after the company gave up an attempt to skirt Beijing’s censorship practices. Google said Friday that Chinese officials had approved its Internet content provider, or ICP, license but gave no details of what services it would offer. Renewal had been in question after Google began automatically redirecting users in China to an uncensored Hong Kong search site. But the company dismantled the virtual bridge to Hong Kong last week after regulators objected to the sleight of hand and threatened to revoke its Internet license. Users are still only a

single step away from the Hong Kong service. They can click anywhere on the Google.cn page to go to Hong Kong, a subtle change that could still be enough to persuade mainland Chinese to use a competing search site instead. And while mainland users can get uncensored Google results from Hong Kong for even controversial topics, users will not always be able to click through the links because of government filters. “We are very pleased that the government has renewed our ICP license, and we look forward to continuing to provide web search and local products to our users in China,” Google’s top lawyer, David Drummond, said in a statement.

Winston-Salem planners OK rezone to lure Caterpillar MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A local package to attract Caterpillar Inc. to Winston-Salem took another step forward Thursday. The City-County Planning Board approved the rezoning of a nearly 100-acre site from limited industrial to general industrial. The site is on the west side of Union Cross Road, next to the Dell Inc. computer-assembly plant. Mayor Allen Joines said in an interview that the rezoning of the property would allow some additional storage on the site. “I think it’s a good move in the process of our recruit-

ing Caterpillar here,” he said. “Certainly it’s one of the key steps that we had to go through to be able to demonstrate to Caterpillar that we’ve got a site that works for them.” If Caterpillar decides to move to this area, it would use the land for a $426 million manufacturing plant that would have 510 company and contract employees. Winston-Salem is competing for the plant with Spartanburg, S.C., and Montgomery, Ala. . City and county officials offered Caterpillar a combined $23.4 million in incentives last week.

Dow ends best week in a year NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market ended its best week in a year with another gain Friday as investors bet that companies will report strong second-quarter earnings. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 59 points, or 0.6 percent. That gave the Dow its biggest weekly advance in a year, 5.3 percent. Broader indexes posted bigger gains. Trading volume was light, signaling that many investors were staying out of the market. But those who were trading appeared optimistic about the company reports that will be announced starting next week. Stocks also got a lift from news that China renewed Google’s license to operate in the country. The renewal was in doubt because of a strained relationship between the company and China’s government over censorship of search results. Google rose 2.4 percent. News on the economy wasn’t as upbeat. Inventories held by wholesalers rose in May for a fifth straight month though sales dropped for the first time in more than a year. The government said wholesale inventories rose 0.5 percent and sales dropped 0.3 percent. It was the first drop since March 2009, when major stock indexes hit a 12year low. But investors didn’t appear fazed by the inventories report.

BUSINESS

TORONTO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy continues to outshine other advanced countries as the unemployment rate unexpectedly dipped below 8 percent for the first time in a year and half. Statistics Canada said Friday the country added a higher-than-expected 93,000 jobs in June and said the unemployment rate dropped to 7.9 percent. Economists had expected a more modest 15,000 to 20,000 job increase and that the rate would remain at 8.1 percent. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second biggest gain ever recorded by the agency in terms of the number of jobs and comes after Canada added a record 108,700 jobs in April and 24,700 in May. The government said the new jobs were evenly split between full-time and part-time positions. In less than a year Canada has made up nearly all the jobs lost during the recession. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve replaced those jobs already. It is quite something how we are rebounding,â&#x20AC;? said Dawn Desjardins, assistant chief economist at Royal Bank. Desjardins said low interest rates, a stable banking system and the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comparative strong fiscal position has spurred the recovery. The International Monetary Fund expects Canada to be the only one of the seven major industrialized democracies to return to surplus by 2015.

Engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawsuit against Hulu goes to arbitration MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Los Angeles County judge on Thursday referred to arbitration the case of a Canadian engineer who contends that NBC Universal stole his idea and business strategy to launch Hulu, the website that shows TV programs and movies. Errol Hula, founder of technology company Hulavision, sued media giant NBC Universal and the Hulu joint venture four months ago, saying Hula shared trade secrets and a business plan with an NBC executive in 2006. The following year, NBC Universal announced plans to team up with Rupert Murdochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s News Corp. to create a website, which blossomed into a venture named Hulu that

now is the second-most-popular video website, behind YouTube. Hula, who lives near Vancouver, Canada, said in the complaint that he met with Raymond Vergel de Dios, NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of business development, at a TV industry trade show in Las Vegas in January 2006. The complaint said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Vergel de Dios expressed interest in Mr. Hulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans and invited him to submit his confidential information to NBC.â&#x20AC;? But before Hula would relay the information to NBC, in an effort â&#x20AC;&#x153;to explore the possibility of a business arrangement,â&#x20AC;? Hula required that Vergel de Dios sign a nondisclosure agreement. A contract was signed in May 2006, and Hula provided NBC with an 18-page PowerPoint presentation which described his strategic plans, marketing strategy and technology.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;At no time did Mr. Vergel de Dios inform Hula of any potential plans NBC had of its own for the development of any project similar to Hulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or that it had any interest other than possibly to form a business relationship with Hula,â&#x20AC;? the lawsuit said. NBC Universal and News Corp. announced their joint venture in March 2007. That summer, the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Huluâ&#x20AC;? was unveiled for the website. The joint venture management said the name Hulu was selected because it was meaningless, easy to spell and â&#x20AC;&#x153;rhymes with itself.â&#x20AC;? Hula and his attorney arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buying it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a coincidence that the name of the website is so close to my clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name,â&#x20AC;? Robert M. Vantress, who is representing Hula, said after Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing.

Duck boat, two bodies pulled from river

BRIEFS

---

NAACP leaders aim to re-energize group KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The head of the nation’s largest and oldest civil rights organization, fearing a loss of momentum since the 2008 election, plans to use the group’s annual convention to get people “off the couch” and re-energized to fight back against a tea party movement that opposes much of President Barack Obama’s agenda. The NAACP convention, set to start today, also will focus on education and the mounting jobs losses.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Police retrieved a second body Friday from the Delaware River after they recovered the duck boat that was struck by a barge and capsized, leaving two young Hungarians missing. Authorities did not immediately confirm whether the body was that of 20-year-old Szabolcs Prem. He has been missing since Wednesday’s accident, which also claimed the life of 16-year-old Dora Schwendtner. Her body was recovered early Friday nearly 2 miles downriver from the accident site. The second body surfaced from beneath a salvage barge after crews raised the amphibious tour boat from the river bottom and the barge began hauling it away. A police boat pulled the body on board about a block downriver from where it surfaced. Thirty-five other people were rescued after the 250-foot barge ran over the duck boat. Schwendtner’s body was identified judging from possessions shown to her fellow tourists, said Jeff Moran, a spokesman for the Philadelphia medical examiner. An autopsy showed she died of drowning, and her death has been ruled accidental. The boat was lifted from the water Friday afternoon about 100 yards from shore.

Girl dies after she is stabbed by mom LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles police say a mother stabbed her 10-year-old daughter several times and tried to kill herself before her husband woke up and disarmed her. The girl died several hours later. Police spokesman Bruce Borihanh says the attack took place around 2:30 a.m. Friday at the family’s home in the Fort MacArthur residential military facility in San Pedro. Police say the mother is in critical condition.

Families win $3.5M in band teacher suit CHICAGO – A federal jury has awarded $3.5 million to the families of nine girls who say they were sexually abused by a suburban Chicago band teacher. The families sued former teacher Robert Sperlik, South Berwyn School District 100 and the former principal at the school where Sperlik taught. In 2006, Sperlik pleaded guilty to the sexual abuse and kidnapping of more than 20 girls. He’s currently serving a 20year prison sentence. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

The U.S. Navy’s MZ-3A Airship comes in for a landing at Brookley Field in Mobile, Ala., Friday. Officials say the slow-moving blimp will be used to spot oil slicks and distressed wildlife during flights over the Gulf.

Feds say new cap could contain Gulf leak by Monday to escape into the Gulf. The new cap – dubbed “Top Hat Number 10” – is designed to fit more snugly and help BP catch all the oil. During the installation, the gusher will get worse before it gets better. Once the old cap is re-

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The BP oil leak could be completely contained as early as Monday if a new, tighter cap can be fitted over the blown-out well, the government official in charge of the crisis said Friday in some of the most encouraging news to come out of the Gulf in the 212⁄ months since the disaster struck. Crews using remote-controlled submarines plan to swap out the cap over the weekend, taking advantage of a window of good weather following weeks of delays caused by choppy seas. “I use the word ‘contained,’ ” said retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen. “ ‘Stop’ is when we put the plug in down below.” Two relief wells are still being drilled deep below the seafloor to intercept the ruptured well and seal it up permanently with mud and cement, a job that may not be completed until mid-August. The cap now in use was installed June 4 to capture oil gushing from the bottom of sea, but because it had to be fitted over a jagged cut in the well pipe, it allows some crude

The government estimates 1.5 million to 2.5 million gallons of oil a day are spewing from the well. moved, oil will pour into the Gulf unhindered for about 48 hours while the new one is put in place, Allen said. BP also worked on Friday to hook up another containment ship called the Helix Producer to a different part of the leaking well. The ship, which will be capable of sucking up more than 1 million gallons a day when it is fully oper-

ating, should be working by Sunday, Allen said. The government estimates 1.5 million to 2.5 million gallons of oil a day are spewing from the well, and the existing cap is collecting about 1 million gallons of that. With the new cap and the new containment vessel, the system will be capable of capturing 2.5 million to 3.4 million gallons – essentially all the leaking oil, officials said. The plan had originally been to hook up the Helix Producer and install the new cap separately, but the favorable weather convinced officials the time was right for both operations. “Everybody agrees we got the weather to do what we need,” Allen said. He said the calm weather is expected to last seven to 10 days. The past 80 days have seen the failure of one technique after another to stop the leak. The latest approach is not a sure thing either, warned Louisiana State University environmental sciences professor Ed Overton.

FDA review spotlights heart risk of diabetes pill

Texans assess damage from rising Rio Grande

M ax Sosa helps shovel mud from a neighbor’s driveway during cleanup efforts after their neighborhood was flooded by the Rio Grande in Laredo, Texas, Friday.

RIO GRANDE CITY, Texas (AP) – Upstream communities began to assess the damage Friday wrought by a Rio Grande that jumped its banks in the Texas city of Laredo, while down river people marveled warily at a river that bore little resemblance to the lazy waterway that usually divides border cities. The Rio Grande con-

tinued rising in the city that bears its name to more than 3 feet above flood stage, according to the National Weather Service. The river was expected to rise a least another 2 feet to more than 55 feet. Long-time residents said they had not seen the river reach these heights since Hurricane Beulah in 1967. The dif-

ference so far is that the area mercifully received little rain from the tropical depression that came ashore Thursday near the mouth of the Rio Grande. City Manager Juan Zuniga hoped that the lack of rain would stave off any threat of serious flooding. “It’s bad to get flooded without rain,” he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal health scientists have panned a GlaxoSmithKline study that the company used to defend the safety of its embattled diabetes drug Avandia, a once blockbuster-seller that has fallen out of favor because of potential ties to heart attacks. The Food and Drug Administration posted an exhaustive 700-page review of Avandia on Friday ahead of a meeting next week to decide whether the drug should stay on the market. The FDA’s earlier reviewed dozens of studies of Avandia, including one Glaxo has pointed to as proof of the drug’s safety. But an FDA reviewer said the study was plagued by “serious flaws” and actually supports the case against Avandia.

Plane carrying 4 prisoners from Russia lands in US WASHINGTON (AP) – It took less than month for the largest U.S.-Russian spy swap since the Cold War to unfold from an idea secretly hatched in the Oval Office to reality on a remote stretch of Vienna airport tarmac. The whirlwind exchange took place Friday in a choreographed script of spy novel intrigue. Two planes, one from New York, the other from Mos-

cow, arrived within minutes of each other and parked nose-totail. Their passengers – 10 Russian sleeper agents arrested in the U.S. and four prisoners accused by Russia of spying for the West – were ferried to each other, and the planes departed again just as quickly. The whole thing, a soundless drama seen only at a distance through camera lenses, took less than an hour and a half

– displaying the efficiency of this extraordinary new chapter in U.S.-Russian relations. The 10 Russian agents who had blended into U.S. communities, including Anna Chapman, the woman who had caught Americans’ fancy with her Facebook photos, soon landed in Moscow. And four other Russians accused of spying for the West headed the other way, two of them arriv-

ing at Dulles International Airport outside Washington at the end of the capital’s workday. Their chartered aircraft, a maroon-and-white Boeing 767-200, had stopped briefly at a southern England air base, where a U.S. official said two of the four were dropped off before the plane continued across the Atlantic. The swap idea was Washington’s, first raised with Presi-

dent Barack Obama nearly a month ago when the FBI and Justice Department officials who had been watching the 10 Russian agents hiding in suburban America for more than a decade informed the president it was time to start planning their arrests, according to two White House officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the White House.

LOCAL 2D www.hpe.com SATURDAY, JULY 10, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Events celebrate second chances H

ere is my profound statement for the week. It is a very, very hot summer. OK, I guess the heat has gotten to me, but the heat did not deter golfers from teeing up for the High Point Jail Ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13th Annual Golf Tournament held at Olde Homeplace Golf Course on Wallburg Road. The golfers turned out in record numbers to support the Jail Ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission ABOUT to provide TOWN â&#x20AC;&#x153;every Mary inmate Bogest booked into the High Point Jail who is willing to work to change his or her life with the resources to do so.â&#x20AC;? It was through Dawn Bingham, who is such a dedicated volunteer, that I first learned about the Jail Ministry a few years ago. Think about it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this Ministry ministers to those who often are not the easiest to express compassion. These men and women by their mere presence in jail have been labeled as criminals, a description which often elicits a negative as well as a non-sympathetic reaction. The High Point Jail Ministry believes that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;only way a criminal can be a productive citizen is through a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.â&#x20AC;? The HP Jail Ministry is the epitome of faith â&#x20AC;&#x201C; faith that inmates who want to change will. Chaplain Joyce Setchfield has led the HPJM for almost three years. I love talking with her. She has such a deep and â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

caring serenity about her. Setchfield and I had the opportunity to chat in the shaded picnic shelter after the golfers had teed off for the Captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Tourney. She told me of a new and exciting community partnership. The HPJM has teamed with Big Brothers/Big Sisters (BBBS) of Central Piedmont to match 98 children of incarcerated parents with a big brother or a big sister. What a difference this partnership can make in these childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. Setchfield knows this from personal experience. Her husband John was named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Brother of the Yearâ&#x20AC;? two years ago and treasured the time that he spent with his â&#x20AC;&#x153;littleâ&#x20AC;? brother. BBBS is always in need of volunteers and with this new and monumental partnership volunteers are needed more than ever. Think about it. If you have just two to five hours a week to give to a child, you could make a very big difference in that childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. I keep telling Bingham that sometime I would love to see the Jail Ministry in action, and I truly mean it. Of course that means I would have to get clearance from the court to go into the jail. Hopefully (I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I have any skeletons in my closet) that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a problem. The Jail Ministry volunteers under Setchfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedicated leadership conduct Bible studies, have a Monday night visitation, conduct Life Enrichment classes which address issues of importance to the inmates such as parenting, anger management and even budgeting, just whatever is needed

to talk about. They have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going for the Goldâ&#x20AC;? program which helps inmates prepare a plan for positive â&#x20AC;&#x153;after-jailâ&#x20AC;? life. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrate Recoveryâ&#x20AC;? program, an â&#x20AC;&#x153;After Care Program,â&#x20AC;? a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toastmasters Programâ&#x20AC;? and even a library of over 900 Christian books donated by the area churches. Could you ever imagine such an incredible commitment to help those who have made mistakes in their lives and now want to turn their lives around. Testimonials come from volunteers and inmates alike. A recently discharged inmate and his fiance both benefited from the Jail Ministry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are forever grateful and thank you for being in our lives. We love you.â&#x20AC;? He added that the Jail Ministry had provided a listening ear, counseling, prayer and getting them into a drug rehabilitation program. A volunteer named Jennifer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am really enjoying the whole experience. The women (inmates) are wonderful and have been very receptive to me which was very surprising. Thank you so much for letting me volunteer. It has changed my life.â&#x20AC;? Kudos to the High Point Jail Ministry. That leads me to say that there is one inmate who I am very happy is in jail and only wished that he could stay there a very, very long time. You know who it is. He is the monster who horribly abused Susie the dog and left her to die in a Greensboro park where she was found about two weeks later burned and covered with 300 maggots. For this heinous abuse, he received only probation. He is now in jail for other crimes, which include taking indecent liberties with a minor. As you know there was an outrage and Susie became a four-legged celebrity. Susieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law passed unanimously and makes animal cruelty a felony offense. Recently, Susie made an appearance at the Rotary Club of High Point, which meets at the High Point Country club on Thursdays. I just had to meet Susie and her loving owner Donna Lawrence, who adopted Susie last December. As an animal lover and a very doting owner to my dog â&#x20AC;&#x153;Muffin,â&#x20AC;? I knew meeting Susie would be emotional. It was. As soon as I saw Susie scars the tears started to come but Su-

Lawrence and I walked Susie outside of the High Point Country Club before the meeting. You just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine just how sweet Susie is.

Just a year previously, Lawrence had been viciously attacked by a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pit bull who she tried to befriend after the neighbor abandoned the dog.

Lawrence told me. Pretty amazing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it or is it fate? Veterinarian Trudy Wade introduced Lawrence and Susie at the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Susie had not become a celebrity this law would not have been passed. I just hope we never have to use it.â&#x20AC;?

SAFETY FIRST:

Do all you can to keep children from harm’s way at home THE CAREY BROTHERS ON THE HOUSE

ccording to the National Safety Council, as many as 26 million children are injured each year as a result of domestic accidents. These accidents ranged from minor cuts and scrapes to death from electrocution and drowning. Cabinet doors, electrical outlets, furniture with sharp corners and even toilets are just a few of the items in a home that are potentially harmful. There are measures you can take to significantly reduce the risk that each of these poses, and make your home a safer place for the little ones that share it with you. Most homes can be completely child-proofed in a weekend and for less than $100. Following are basics to make your home safe for children: • The first step is prevention – making sure that all sharp or pointed objects, string, rope, electrical cords, medication and poisons are properly stored and out of reach of children. • Cabinet doors and drawers are notorious for mashing fingers. What cabinets and drawers may contain is of equal or greater concern. Household cleaning products, medications and sharp objects are all potentially dangerous. Child-proof cabinet-latches are simple to install. By far the most

popular is a two-piece flexible plastic type where a hook attaches to the inside face of the cabinet door or drawer and a catch to the inside of the cabinet. Each of the pieces is attached with a couple of screws provided by the manufacturer. When attaching the devices to oak or other hardwoods, it’s a good idea to pre-drill small pilot holes, which will prevent the wood from splitting. • Electrical outlets pose one of the greatest safety hazards for curious little sized people. There are a couple ways to deal with this problem. Removable plastic outlet caps are the most popular devices. They are two-pronged and compression-fitted into the outlet. They can be removed by an adult when the outlet is needed. Unfortunately, some kids learn how to pull them off. An alternative to the plastic outlet caps is a spring-loaded replacement outlet cover. Here, the existing outlet cover is removed and replaced by a new outlet cover with retractable doors which, when in the open position, exposes only the outlet for insertion of a plug. Another variation of the spring-loaded outlet cover is one in which the protective door twists until the holes in the plate and the outlet are in alignment. Installation simply involves the removal of the screw attaching the existing outlet cover and the replacement with a new longer screw packaged

with the replacement cover. • Furniture and countertops with sharp corners have been the cause of many head bumps. This kind of injury can easily be avoided with the installation of soft plastic or rubber protective corner guards. Often these guards come with a two-sided adhesive tape which makes for easy installation and prevents damage to the surface to which it is applied. • Toilet lid lock – Many children have a fascination with water and one of the most easily available sources is a toilet. Toilets are the cause of many infant drowning. A toilet lid lock is a plastic device that clamps to the rim of the toilet bowl and has a latch which, when engaged, covers the toilet seat and cover, preventing either from being opened. This list deals with only a few of the many measures that you can take to make your home safer for the little explorers in your family.

Be sure bike is in top condition ON THE HOUSE

aul Revere took his famous ride in 1775, you know, “One if by land; two if by sea.” These days, warmer weather and longer days have kids and grown-ups ready to ride, too. That often means bicycling. After a long winter, your 10-speed needs a little TLC before hitting those highways and byways. First, inspect and tighten everything, including seats, pedals and handlebars. Then, lubricate all moving parts, like gears, brakes and the chain. Then, clean and recheck everyCHRISTOPHE ENA | AP thing -- including frame, spokes and pressure in the tires. Finally, wear a good helmet for safety. Check for proper fit – it shouldn’t move more than a half inch in any direction. Side straps should fit just below the ears, with the buckle directly under your chin. Last, check your helmet for cracks, dents or any other signs of damage. If all systems are go, take off! It’s spring, after all. FOR MORE tips, visit the On the House website at onthehouse.com.

While making concessions can seem difficult, please consider the following proven suggestions to produce a quicker sale. Remember that there are a myriad of possibilities for exposure in today’s Internet-driven society. In addition to your Realtor’s traditional print and online marketing tools, use social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to promote your listing to younger first-time buyers.

When setting your home’s price, REAL ESTATE if at all possible, Ken place it 10 to 15 Wall percent below your ■■■ competition. All other things being equal, your home will readily appear as the best value. Also, consider the price “range” your home will fall into, and make sure you’re on the lower end of that range. For example, a $199,000 home falls into the upper end of the $150,000

Home tax credit extension relieves tardy buyers NEW YORK (AP) – Homebuyers worried about closing their house purchases before the tax credit cutoff can relax after the government extended the deadline. Congress sent President Barack Obama a plan to give homebuyers an extra three months to finish qualifying for federal tax incentives that boosted home sales this spring. The House and Senate approved it last week. The legislation gives buyers until Sept. 30 to complete their purchases and qualify for tax credits of up to $8,000 for first-time buyers and $6,500 for existing owners. Under original terms, buyers had until April 30 to get a signed contract and until June 30 to complete the sale.

Prepping a home for sale that needs many fix-ups F

acing health problems, a widower in his 70s was ready to put the ranch-style house he’d inhabited for more than 25 years on the market immediately, take his profit, and move away to live with relatives. But the man’s real estate broker, Donna Clark, told him that trying to sell the house in “as is” condition could be a huge financial mistake. That’s because the place was riddled with problems, which Clark detailed during a room-byroom walk-through with the owner. “In a buyer’s market, the only people willing to consider a house in poor condition are ‘bottom fishers.’ And they’ll pay nothing for your place,” says Clark, who’s affiliated with the Council of Residential Specialists (www.crs.net). Though the widower was oblivious to his home’s flaws, Clark saw them clearly: The exterior desperately needed repainting. Frayed carpeting and worn ceramic tile had to be replaced. The kitchen cried out for a cosmetic makeover, along with a new dishwasher. And the whole house needed a top-tobottom scrubbing. “It took more than two months and $6,000 to get that house ready for market. But if the owner hadn’t agreed to the improvements, he would have lost a lot more time and money to do his sale before moving on,” Clark says. The widower’s story illustrates a harsh reality of the present real estate market. In most areas, only homes in

excellent condition now fetch their full current value. The others either sell for a sacrificial price or sit unsold for a prolonged period, says Mark Nash, a real estate broker and author of “1001 Tips SMART MOVES for Buying and Selling a Home.” Ellen “Throwing a home on Martin the market in poor condi■■■ tion is like advertising to the world ‘take advantage of me.’ It’s a huge red flag for attracting low-ball bidders,” he says. It’s critical that a property be in move-in condition when it goes up for sale because in most neighborhoods, there’s more supply than demand for available homes, Nash says. Also, most buyers now trolling the market don’t want the hassle of doing their own improvements. Here are pointers for the sellers of a home that needs extensive work: • Search for a real estate agent willing to coordinate your projects. Homeowners facing financial hardship, such as a potential foreclosure, often lack the time and money for needed property fixes. But those with the resources to make the needed changes should do so and often benefit from the help of a listing agent, as Clark did for the widower. Eric Tyson, a personal finance expert

and co-author of “House Selling for Dummies,” says a listing agent willing to guide a fix-up plan can offer invaluable help to home sellers. “The agent can screen contractors, secure proposals and help ensure the work is done right. They can also make sure that the house is kept locked up and secure in your absence,” he says. Of course, not every listing agent is willing to coordinate presale improvements. Understandably, some agents believe their expertise should be focused solely on marketing a property. But others will enthusiastically assist, realizing that they, too, would benefit from a successful sale. However, Tyson cautions that some agents, including accomplished ones, lack the know-how to provide expert guidance on infrastructure repairs -- such as major plumbing or electrical work. “Good bets are house aficionados, or people in the business who fix up houses and then sell them for a profit,” he says. • Look for an assistant to help with your de-cluttering chores. It’s no secret that prospective buyers are turned off at the sight of a cluttered home, yet Nash says most home sellers find the presale process of culling through their belongings both taxing and emotionally overwhelming. So, to reach their finish line faster, Nash encourages sellers to place a clas-

sified ad offering $7 to $15 an hour for help sorting through their possessions. Chances are your ad will attract neighbors, including teenagers, who are seeking part-time work for extra spending money. “What you’re looking for is a person with lots of energy who will not only help you evaluate your possessions. They’ll also help you with some of the heavy lifting, such as packing and carrying boxes,” Nash says. • Don’t preoccupy yourself about past mistakes. As Nash says, many would-be sellers resist the idea of putting money into a property they’ll soon be leaving. This is especially true of cosmetic improvements, such as sanding and polishing hardwood floors, or kitchen upgrades. “People question the fairness of spending money to make a house look good for others. They kick themselves that they didn’t make the changes sooner so they could enjoy them, too,” Nash says. But there’s no advantage to postponing needed improvements because of regret for not acting sooner. Resistance to change can be an especially costly error if your place is already vacant, and you’ll have to carry two mortgage payments until it gets sold. “Remember that moving forward is about not looking backward,” Nash says.

Mortgage rates scream ‘buy,’ but who is listening? BY ALAN ZIBEL AND ALEX VEIGA AP REAL ESTATE WRITERS

An odd scene has been playing out lately in the offices of mortgage brokers and bankers around the country. Mortgage rates have sunk to levels not seen in more than a half-century – a seductive 4.58 percent for an average 30-year fixed loan. Yet brokers and

lenders report not a flood but a trickle of customers. So what’s going on? Call it a tale of the haves and have-nots. The haves are those who stand to save money from refinancing and have the financial standing to do so. Since mortgage rates have been low for so long, most of them already have refinanced in the past 18 months. Doing so again wouldn’t be worth the cost for most.

The have-nots? Those are the millions of Americans pummeled by the housing collapse. They have little or no home equity or no money for down payments. Or they lack the credit or steady income to get or refinance a mortgage. The result is that brokers like Ginny Ferguson are filling their days doing something other than handling a stampede of customers buying homes or refinancing.

Ferguson, CEO of Heritage Valley Mortgage in Pleasanton Calif., has managed to stay busy: She’s archiving files, reviewing marketing plans and calling previous clients and agents to try to drum up business. “Am I sitting around playing Solitaire on my computer? No,” she says. The 4.58 percent average for a 30-year fixed-rate loan last week was the lowest on records that

mortgage company Freddie Mac has kept since 1971. The last time rates were lower was the 1950s, when most long-term home loans lasted 20 or 25 years. Under normal circumstances, 4.58 percent would be irresistible. A decade ago, if you’d told David Christensen, owner of Mountain Lake Mortgage in Lakeside, Mont., that rates would drop this low, he wouldn’t have believed you.
