Farmers markets stay steady in recession Before you read...

----

In a down economy, consumers are clinging to tight pursestrings, going out to eat less and looking for bargains around every corner. While some businesses may be suffering, you wouldn’t know it if you visit a local farmers market. Farmers markets in the Triad, with few exceptions, are thriving this year, and the options for shopping for fresh produce and other homemade and handmade goods keep growing. This two-part series profiles popular farmers markets in the Triad and the vendors who make it all possible.

JAMESTOWN – Residents of a longtime Jamestown neighborhood are upset over year-old rezoning decisions that they now want officials to overturn, and they’ll be taking their case to planners this week. Residents of the Forestdale neighborhood say they did not realize until recently that the Jamestown Planning and Zoning Board had rezoned parts of the neighborhood from single-family to commercial and mixed-use zon-

ing, including multifamily residential. The city rezoned the portions of the neighborhood in July 2009 along with changes to the zoning district map and ordinance updates. Kerry Miller, who serves on the Jamestown Planning and Zoning Board, said officials gave the required public notification of the rezoning requests prior to the 2009 vote,

which involved a listing in the local newspaper. Miller said rezoning of the area was a three-year process. It was rezoned because the area was recommended as a place to consider for future growth and development in the next 20 to 30 years in Jamestown. But Forestdale residents say they were caught off guard by the rezoning because of changes in the way the city notifies residents of pending ordinance updates and changes to zoning district maps. “I’m sure the (Town Council) did what they

Forestdale is an original neighborhood of Jamestown and dates back to the late 1940s. “We (the board) had public hearings and meetings for two years for this plan,” Miller said. “We asked for public involvement for several months, and we would love to have it.” The Planning and Zoning Board will consider the matter at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the town civic center.

Ups and downs:

Marine Division gets new commanding general

Vendors say preparing for markets is tough work, but the outcome pays off BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – When they stand behind their organized stands with smiles on their faces, eager to explain the products on their tables, vendors at area farmers markets usually look cool and collected. But the frenzy they undergo the night before to prepare for the markets, not to mention the heat they have to endure all day, are some facets of the process that can be exhausting for them. There’s harvesting crops and processing fresh meat, of course. But other things can keep vendors from getting much sleep on the night before they set out their wares to sell. “I have to start (preparing) late the night before at my home,” said Joann Tysinger, who operates Letitia’s Essentials out of her house. “My soaps are natural, and I can’t make them ahead of time because I don’t use any preservatives.” Letitia’s Essentials offers handmade soaps, bath salts and body scrubs that have simple ingredients such as brown sugar and honey in them. On the nights before she sells her items at the Lexington Farmer’s Market, held Wednesdays and Saturdays, she said she’s lucky to be in bed by midnight. Then she rises with the sun to head to the farmers market. “It’s a lot of staying up late at night,” Tysinger said. Ed Yates, owner of Soggy Bottoms Farm in Tyro, also has some short nights when it comes to loading his trailers, furbished with generators and freezers, with beef and chicken meat and eggs before selling them at the Lexington Farmer’s Market. It can be even harder to run on limited sleep before he sets up at the market on Saturday morning after he’s completed a work week at his full-time job at Winston Communications. “Sometimes it’s hard to get up after that,” he said.

The business selling at High Point Regional Heart Center is Jesse’s Genuine Home Made Products. Transporting and loading the goods can be a hassle, and the expenses of wear and tear to items and transportation can add up, the vendors said. Even after preparations are taken care of, the vendors have to sit in the heat of summer for half of the day awaiting customers. “The heat has been bad this year,” Tysinger said while sitting behind her table at the Lexington Farmer’s Market, a fan whirling behind her. “I don’t usually do a lot of hot weather.” But despite the heat and the hassle, a sleepless night and a hot day can be worth it if customers show up, goods are sold and relationships are built. “You’ll see a lot of friends and make a lot of friends here,” Yates said. “You’ll meet a lot of interesting people, and that makes it fun. We all love to talk around here.”

making a larger purchase of blueberries and other fresh fruit for $28.75. “I haven’t seen much recession here,” Stephens said while bagging the berries. The popularity of farmers markets has increased nationwide in the last two decades, according to figures from the United States Department of Agriculture. In 1994, the year the USDA began publishing the National Directory of Farmers Markets, there were 1,755 operating farmers markets in the country. There were 5,274 listed in 2009, a 13 percent increase from 2008. Smaller markets, such as the farmers market at High Point Regional Hospital, held every Thursday morning in front of its fitness center, are remaining mostly stable, according to vendors there. “April was a really good month

for me,” said Bobby Alcon, who sells produce at the hospital’s market. “When I came here in April, I made good money.” But Alcon said he has seen some tightening of customers’ purse strings, and he suspects it’s mostly due to the economy. “I know it’s their money that they’re watching because they just used to buy more than they do now,” he said. Over at the Lexington Farmer’s Market, which recently moved into the historic Southern Railway Freight Depot, some vendors say business has seen an increase over last year. That could be attributed to several things, including reports of economic improvement, the “green” movement and consumers becoming more health conscious — or the new, improved location of the market.

JACKSONVILLE – One of the largest Marine formations in years stood up to mark Friday’s handoff of command of the 2nd Marine Division from Maj. Gen. R.T. Tryon to Maj. Gen. John Toolan. Of the 24,000 Marines within the division, an impressive 5,000 stood by tenant units on W.P.T. Hill Memorial Field. They would pass by their new commanding general in a lengthy parade review before the ceremony’s conclusion. Tryon, who took command of the division in June 2008, oversaw one of the more complex periods in recent division history: Division and II Marine Expeditionary Force (forward) units formed the last Marine Corps presence in Afghanistan, and Tryon oversaw the complete drawdown of Marines from the country in 2009 and 2010. In a congratulatory

“It has been better this year than last year,” said Ed Bates, who operates Soggy Bottoms Farm in Tyro and sells eggs, chicken and beef at the Lexington market. “There’s a new interest in all-natural food. People are still paying a premium price for a good, quality product.” Vendors like Joann Tysinger, owner of Letitia Essentials, who makes items such as all-natural bath soaps, salts and body scrubs, agrees that her customers like knowing exactly what kind of ingredients go into the products that they’re buying. But customers also keep coming back because they enjoy buying products from others in their hometown, Tysinger said. “It seems people are more giving to us because we’re local,” she said.

CHAPEL HILL (AP) – A North Carolina man wounded in a shootout with robbers at the convenience store where his wife worked has died. The Moore County sheriff’s office told multiple media outlets that 78year-old Angus Eugene Kelly died Friday at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill. Kelly was in the parking lot June 28 while his 75-year-old wife, Grace, worked the closing shift at the store. When

armed men tried to rob her at gunpoint, he fired through the window, wounding one man and touching off a gun battle. Grace Kelly was treated for a gunshot wound to the arm and released from the hospital. The sheriff’s office said four men have been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, robbery and kidnapping. Prosecutors may seek additional charges in Angus Kelly’s death.

James Conway commended Tryon on his work in Iraq. “Forming the core of II MEF (Forward) in al Anbar province and the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade in Helmand province, Marines from the 2nd Marine Division blazed the path out of Iraq and into Afghanistan,” he wrote. “The responsible drawdown and redeployment of personnel and gear was a testament to your leadership. The accomplishments of the 2nd Marine Division have had a positive and lasting effect on our nation’s security and the futures of Iraq and Afghanistan.” Tryon, whose new duty station in the Corps has not been made public, had little to say about his own work in his sendoff address. “This is the crown jewel of the 2nd Marine Division, assembled on the field before you,” he said, indicating the troops behind him.

General Assembly adjourns for year Approval of ethics bill caps short session RALEIGH (AP) –North Carolina legislators had to work nearly all night to complete the shortest “short session” in recent history, capped by anticipated changes to ethics, campaign finance and open-records laws. House Speaker Joe Hackney and Senate leader Marc Basnight gaveled down the session at 5:32 a.m. Saturday with a predawn ceremony inside the Legislative Building, completing a work schedule that began more than 19 hours earlier Friday morning. The number of calendar days in the “short session,” held in evennumber years and starting May 12, was the fewest since 1996. “We’ve done the things we wanted to do, and we’re out,” said House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson. The two chambers met their highest priority after the budget bill shortly after 3 a.m. when the House gave unanimous approval to an ethics and government reform bill worked on for months. The Senate earlier approved the bill with only one no vote. The measure toughens penalties for illegal campaign donations above $10,000, requires board and commission members to account for campaign fundraising activities for elected officials who appointed them and

expands personnel information that must be released to the public about state employees. The bipartisan measure is the latest response by lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue to a series of corruption and campaign finance investigations over the past decade. Dramatic ethics and lobbying changes were approved in 2006. “It does more for transparency and open government than in any set of changes that have been made since I’ve been here at the General Assembly,” said Rep. Deborah Ross, D-Wake, a fourterm House member and bill negotiator. It failed to contain a requirement sought by the House that state vendors be limited in donating to the political campaign of someone seeking a Council of State office with authority to award a contract. Instead, the Legislature’s ethics commission will study the issue of reducing the perception of “pay-to-play” politics, which good-government advocates labeled as a setback. “Overall, the ethics bill does a lot of good,” said Bob Phillips with Common Cause North Carolina, but “I think it’s important to have guidelines for contractors.” He called the lack of such language “disappointing.” The bill doesn’t go as far

AP

State Rep. Paul Stam, minority leader and co-sponsor of an ethics bill, works during a morning session at the N.C. State Legislature on Friday. The General Assembly worked through the night, adjourning at 5:32 a.m. Saturday. as media groups wanted on requiring government agencies to provide more information about the work history of public employees, including the letter explaining why a worker was fired. The public and media only have been able to receive a snapshot of a person’s employment, with limited information that makes it difficult to learn about misconduct by workers. Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, the only lawmaker to vote no on the package, said it was a good bill but he had wanted the mea-

sure to provide the reasons why a worker was demoted or suspended. Before leaving, the two chambers gave final approval to a pair of economic incentives bills that include film industry credits sought by Perdue and attempts to recruit a handful of unnamed companies by commerce officials who could bring 1,200 jobs to the state. A House debate in the wee hours on final legislation requiring police to take DNA samples from people when they are arrested on serious charges became heated as several

members said requiring the sample upon arrest amounts to unreasonable search and seizure and would unfairly target black residents. Attorney General Roy Cooper has said having more samples in the state DNA database would help solve dozens of crimes by locating repeat offenders. Convicted felons already must give samples. “Hopefully, one of our first hits will exonerate someone in prison currently who has been wrongly imprisoned,” Rep. Wil Neumann, RGaston, one of the bill

sponsors, said before the bill was approved 83-21. The Senate also OK’d the bill by a wide margin. Lawmakers also gave final approval to reforms of the Alcoholic Beverage Control system and banned computer-based sweepstakes games that resemble casino games. Perdue will have until Aug. 9 to consider these and dozens of other bills awaiting her signature. Barring a veto override or special session, the Legislature won’t meet again until a new group of 170 elected lawmakers arrive in January.

Judge orders investigation of prosecutor WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – A judge wants the North Carolina Bar to investigate a former prosecutor after the judge said his testimony in a convicted killer’s appeal was not credible. The Greensboro News & Record reported that Judge Richard Doughton on Friday denied the ap-

peal by death-row inmate Errol Duke Moses. But Doughton ordered court files related to Moses’ case and a transcript of a March hearing in his appeal sent to the State Bar to determine whether there were any ethical violations in how former prosecutor Vince Rabil handled the case.

District Attorney Jim O’Neill said there are no plans to review Rabil’s work as a prosecutor. Rabil now works as a defense attorney specializing in capital cases. Rabil did not immediately return phone and e-mail messages Saturday.

Man kills pregnant girlfriend, two children, self Third child shot in head survives DALLAS (AP) – Police in North Carolina say a 25-year-old man shot and killed his pregnant girlfriend and two of the couple’s children, then killed himself. Gaston County Police Capt. Joe Ramey said Friday that another child

was shot in the head and is recovering at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte. The Gaston Gazette reports the shootings happened in Dallas, about 25 miles east of Charlotte. Ramey says the father, Austen Blake Minter, shot the woman and kids in the kitchen of their home sometime between midnight Thursday and 1 p.m. Friday.

The victims were identified as 24-yearold Tracy Lee Hedgepath; 6-year-old Austen Blake Minter II; and 3-year-old Serenity Tyvon Minter. The grisly scene wasn’t discovered until Friday night, after Hedgepath’s parents called 911 because the woman hadn’t shown up for work.

Pakistan bomb death toll hits 102; worst this year YAKAGHUND, Pakistan (AP) – As Adnan Khan sifted through the rubble in this northwest Pakistani village Saturday, his grief mingled with a sense of disbelief. Of the 102 people killed by a pair of suicide bombers here the day before, 10 were his relatives. Aunts, uncles, cousins – all perished in the deadliest attack

in Pakistan this year. “People came here yesterday to receive biscuits and edible oil,” the college student said. “I don’t know why terrorists killed them.” Yakaghund village lies in Mohmand, one of several regions in Pakistan’s tribal belt where al-Qaida and Taliban militants are believed to be hiding. The Friday strike showed

that Islamist extremists remain a deadly force along this area bordering Afghanistan, despite pressure from army offensives or drone-fired U.S. missiles. Although the Pakistani Taliban said antimilitant tribal elders were the target, it was dozens of ordinary men and women who bore the brunt of the strike.

Increased U.S.-led military operations in the southern province of Kandahar are aimed at trying to break the Taliban’s grip where they are strongest by delivering security and government services to win over Afghan people.

Iran to review woman’s stoning verdict TEHRAN, Iran – The lawyer for an Iranian widow sentenced to be stoned to death for an adultery conviction expressed cautious optimism Saturday after Iran said it will review the decision, which has drawn international condemnation. Human rights activists and other officials, however, warned that Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a 43-year-old mother of two, could still be hanged. The outcry over the sentence is the latest thorn in Iran’s relationship with the international community.

Gaza aid ship leaves Greece for Egypt ATHENS, Greece – A ship commissioned by a Libyan charity organization has left Greece headed for the Egyptian port of al-Arish, and not for Gaza, as originally planned, according to Greek authorities. The Moldovan-flagged cargo ship Amalthea left around 8 p.m. local (1700 GMT) Saturday from the port of Lavrio, southeast of Athens, carrying 2,000 tons of food and medical supplies destined for Gaza, mostly donated by Greek companies and charities, organizers said.

Baghdad kills 58,000 stray dogs in 3 months BAGHDAD – Teams of veterinarians and police shooters have killed some 58,000 stray dogs in and around the Iraqi capital over the past three months as part of a campaign to curb an increasing number of strays blamed for attacks on residents. The Baghdad provincial government said in a statement released today that 20 teams have been moving around Baghdad and the outer-lying districts daily looking for and putting down the dogs.

Church announces release of 12 more prisoners HAVANA – Cuban church officials Saturday released the names of 12 more political prisoners who will be freed and sent into exile in the coming days under a landmark agreement with President Raul Castro’s government, bringing to 17 the total number of jailed dissidents who have accepted asylum in Spain. While there has been no word on when exactly the men will be freed, there are growing signs a release could be imminent, with the wife of one prisoner saying officials told her to prepare to leave the country.

Palestinian village to be encircled by barrier WALAJEH, West Bank – Israel has started construction on a new section of its West Bank separation barrier that Palestinian residents say could sound a death knell for their hamlet. The barrier, running much of the length of the West Bank, has already disrupted lives in many Palestinian towns in its path. But it threatens to outright smother Walajeh: The community of about 2,000 on the southwest edge of Jerusalem is to be completely encircled by a fence cutting it off from most of its open land, according to an Israeli Defense Ministry map.

Amazon river dolphins slaughtered for bait RIO DE JANEIRO – The bright pink color gives them a striking appearance in the muddy jungle waters. That Amazon river dolphins are also gentle and curious makes them easy targets for nets and harpoons as they swim fearlessly up to fishing boats. Now, their carcasses are showing up in record numbers on riverbanks, their flesh torn away for fishing bait, causing researchers to warn of a growing threat to a species that has already disappeared in other parts of the world.

Catalans rally for greater autonomy People holding up Catalan flags demonstrate against the sentence of Spain’s highest court in Barcelona, Spain, Saturday. Spain’s highest court upheld most of a charter granting sweeping new powers of self rule to the wealthy Catalonia region, handing a defeat last week to conservatives who complained the blueprint undermined the idea of Spain as a unified state.

Obama: More post-traumatic stress help for vets

AP

In this image taken from video provided by BP PLC, the arm of a remotely operated vehicle works at the Deepwater Horizon oil spill site in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday.

Oil unleashed temporarily in attempt to contain it NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Robotic submarines working a mile underwater removed a leaking cap from the gushing Gulf oil well Saturday, starting a painful trade-off: Millions more gallons of crude will flow freely into the sea for at least two days until a new seal can be mounted to capture all of it. There’s no guarantee for such a delicate operation almost a mile below the water’s surface, officials said, and the permanent fix of plugging the well from the

bottom remains slated for midAugust. “It’s not just going to be, you put the cap on, it’s done. It’s not like putting a cap on a tube of toothpaste,” Coast Guard spokesman Capt. James McPherson said. Robotic submarines removed the cap that had been placed on top of the leak in early June to collect the oil and send it to surface ships for collection or burning. BP aims to have the new, tighter cap in place as early as Monday and said that,

as of Saturday night, the work was going according to plan. If tests show it can withstand the pressure of the oil and is working, the Gulf region could get its most significant piece of good news since the April 20 explosion on the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon rig. “Over the next four to seven days, depending on how things go, we should get that sealing cap on. That’s our plan,” said Kent Wells, a BP senior vice president, of the round-the-clock operation.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The government is taking what President Barack Obama calls “a long overdue step” to aid veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, making it easier for them receive federal benefits. The changes that Veteran Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki will announce Monday fulfill “a solemn responsibility to provide our veterans and wounded warriors with the care and benefits they’ve earned when they come home,” Obama said in his weekly radio and online address Saturday. The new rules will apply not only to veter-

ans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but also those who served in Obama previous conflicts. No longer will veterans have to prove what caused their illness. Instead, they would have to show that the conditions surrounding the time and place of their service could have contributed to their illness. “I don’t think our troops on the battlefield should have to take notes to keep for a claims application,” the president said.

2 planes enter no-fly zone during president’s visit to Nevada C O L O R A D O SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – Authorities say two planes were chased by fighter jets from Colorado Springs and briefly detained Friday morning because they violated a no-fly zone while President Barack Obama was

2 duck boat crash victims remembered PHILADELPHIA – Friends silently and solemnly dropped white roses into the Delaware River on Saturday in memory of the two Hungarian students who died when the amphibious tourist boat they were riding was struck by a barge and sank. City officials, religious leaders and Hungarian diplomats joined the group of grieving Hungarian exchange students at a memorial service dedicated to 20-year-old Szabolcs Prem and 16year-old Dora Schwendtner, who drowned after the duck boat capsized Wednesday. “The loss of a young life, of two young lives, is almost impossible to understand and almost impossible to accept,� said Bela Szombati, the Hungarian ambassador to the United States.

Capitol tree will come from Wyoming JACKSON, Wyo. – The U.S. Capitol’s grounds superintendent has chosen a 67-foot Engelmann spruce from Wyoming to be the official Christmas tree at the Capitol this December. Wyoming officials at Bridger-Teton say the tree was chosen near Jackson but its location will be kept secret until November when there will be a cutting ceremony. The selection was made by Ted Bechtol and his decision was announced Friday. He called it “an aesthetic sort of judgment.� After the tree is cut, it will be loaded on a trailer for a tour across the country before it is placed at the Capitol in early December. Last year’s Christmas tree came from the ApacheSitgreaves National Forest in Arizona.

BOSTON (AP) – Governors hamstrung by the sluggish economic rebound in their states and bound to balance their own budgets are pressing anew for Washington to step up with more help, some say even if it means adding to the nation’s red ink. Republicans and Democrats alike wrestled with how to capitalize on a fledgling rebound as they talked dollars and sense at their summer meeting just days into a new state budget year and as the economy shapes dozens of gubernatorial races across the country. “All states still are facing tough fiscal situations even though I do believe we’re in recovery,� said West Virginia Gov.

Seventh lawsuit filed over Arizona immigration law PHOENIX (AP) – A seventh challenge to Arizona’s tough new immigration crackdown says training materials designed to teach police officers how to enforce the law give “vague and ill-defined factors� as reasons to question someone’s legal status. Officers aren’t supposed to use a person’s race to determine whether there’s reasonable suspicion they’re in the country illegally. But the lawsuit, filed

Friday in federal court, says the training materials developed by state police bosses allow officers to rely on things like whether a person speaks poor English, looks nervous or is traveling in an overcrowded vehicle. They can also take into account whether someone is wearing several layers of clothing in a hot climate, or hanging out in an area where illegal immigrants are known to look for work.

Biden tells Leno US did fine in spy swap BURBANK, Calif. – Vice President Joe Biden had to convince a skeptical Jay Leno on Friday that the United States didn’t get a raw deal from Russia in the biggest spy swap since the Cold War. Leno asked Biden during a taping of “The Tonight Show� why the U.S. was sending 10 accused spies back to Russia while getting only four in return. “That doesn’t seem fair,� Leno said. “We got back four really good ones,� Biden reassured Leno. “And the ten, they’ve been here a long time, but they hadn’t done much.� Leno then showed a sultry photo of alleged Russian agent Anna Chapman and asked: “Do we have any spies that hot?� Biden’s reply, in a mockserious tone: “Let me be clear. It was not my idea to send her back.�

For 10 days, the site has posted written transcripts of secret recordings it said Gibson’s former girlfriend, Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva, had made.

Man indicted in death of ex-’Idol’ contestant TOMS RIVER, N.J. – A New Jersey man has been indicted in the hit-and-run death of a former “American Idol� contestant whose angry rejection rant became an Internet sensation. Ocean County prosecutors say Alexis Cohen was killed in Seaside Heights on July 25, 2009, when she was struck by a motor vehicle driven by 24-year-old Daniel Bark of Toms River. At the time, Bark allegedly was fleeing from police, who tried to stop him following an earlier car accident. He was arrested the next day and later charged with drunken driving.

A Baltimore County Police car sits Friday outside a Cockeysville, Md., home owned by Alexander Zaporozhsky, one of four spies for the West for whom U.S. officials recently swapped ten Russian spy suspects.

In spy swap, agents were pawns in a practiced game WASHINGTON (AP) – In the rapid-fire spy swap, the United States and Russia worked together as only old enemies could. Less than two weeks after the FBI broke the spy ring in a counterintelligence operation cultivated for a decade, 10 Russian secret agents caught in the U.S. are back in Russia, four convicted of spying for the West have been pardoned and released by Moscow, and bilateral relations appear on track again. In describing how the swap unfolded, U.S. officials made clear that even before the arrests,

coursed with worldshaking superpower crises were reflexively put into play. Moscow and Washington not only have a history of nuclear-tipped tension but also long experience keeping those tensions in check.

Washington wanted not only to take down a spy network but to move beyond the provocative moment. So the U.S. made an offer. Russia was ready to deal. Channels of communication that once

LOS ANGELES (AP) – The man charged with 10 murders in the Los Angeles “Grim Sleeper� case was arrested at least 15 times over four decades but never sent to state prison despite recommendations of probation officers, including one who urged he receive a maximum sentence because it was a bad sign that a man in his 50s still committed crimes, court and jail records show. Lonnie Franklin Jr.,

57, was arrested for burglary, car theft, firearms possession and assaults. But his crimes never were considered serious enough to send him to state prison or to warrant his entry in the state’s DNA database, authorities said. “He’s danced to the raindrops for a long time without getting wet,� Detective Dennis Kilcoyne, head of the task force investigating the killings, told the Los Angeles Times.

Jamestown to change rezoning procedure

JAMESTOWN – Jamestown planners say they’ll make some changes to how they notify the public of pending changes to the city’s zoning map and ordinances after residents complained about zoning changes they say they were unaware of in their neighborhood. Residents of the Forestdale neighborhood say they didn’t realize until recently that the city rezoned parts of the neighborhood in July 2009, along with changes to the zoning district map and ordinance updates. While Planning Board member Kerry Miller says officials gave the required public notification by listing it in the local newspaper, Planning Director Matthew Johnson said the town likely will give additional notification in the future. Currently, general statutes for notifying the public of ordinance updates and changes depend on the size of the district, Johnson said. If more than 50 properties are involved, like in this case, mailings to property owners are not required. There are two options for public notification of more than 50 property owners: Either send an expanded mail notice or publish a newspaper ad, no less than half a page. “We thought people would see it in the Jamestown News and that the ad would conserve tax dollars and time,” said Planning Director Matthew Johnson. “But we now realize that people may not have seen it or understood what they saw, so going forward we will send individual letters to property owners.” “Usually, there are street signs and letters sent to property owners, but the residents were unaware of different procedures and, therefore, were unaware of the rezoning public hearing,” said Hugh Cates, a resident of Forestdale since 1966 and a former member of the town planning board. Johnson said he has learned his lesson and will now mail public notices to property owners that are affected by ordinance amendments. The same information is posted on the Jamestown website – www.jamestown-nc.us. Cates said he believes this is an unfortunate situation for the town and the residents. “(Residents) didn’t get involved as we should have at the time, but now that we are informed, we are involved,” Cates said. “I am confident that the neighborhood will get rezoned back to single family. Cates also said he believes the situation is “just a miscommunication between the citizens and the town, and we are working through it.” editor@hpe.com | 888-3534

Cyclists feed their need for speed BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – For the cyclists who have descended on Davidson County for a series of competitive events this weekend, the need for speed is the order of the day. The Piedmont Triad Omnium kicked off Friday night with a series of bicycle races in uptown Lexington called a criterium. Jim Martin, a local cyclist who organized the omnium, described the criterium course as the cycling equivalent of the Bristol Motor Speedway NASCAR racetrack – a fast, four-turn loop where riders compete anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour in a series of laps, sometimes battling it out in close quarters. Several categories of men’s and women’s races based on age and skill level were held. “We’ve got a three-quarter of a mile loop that’s a rectangle, kind of like Bristol but on two small, little wheels,” Martin said. The rest of the weekend’s action included time trials on a

12.5-mile course along county roads, and nighttime street sprints on three uphill blocks of S. Main Street in Lexington. All of the events, including a road race scheduled for

‘We’ve got a three-quarter of a mile loop that’s a rectangle, kind of like Bristol (Motor Speedway) but on two small, little wheels.’ Jim Martin Organizer of Piedmont Triad Omnium today, offered cash prizes for the winners and top finishers. Organizers expected close to 200 racers – some of them local and others from as far away as Alabama and West Virginia – to take part over the course of the weekend. This is the third year in a row Lexington and Davidson

County have played host to the omnium, which Martin organized as a way to raise awareness of the sport and raise money for the Central North Carolina Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society after his wife was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a few years ago. “The past two years, we’ve been able to give $8,000 each year to the MS society. I think it would be an outstanding year if we could do that again based on current economic situations,” said Martin. “I’ve been told not to set my sights too high by other nonprofit organizations – that if you can be flat, you’re ahead of the game this year. I kind of don’t want to believe that. I’d really like to be able to give them $10,000 this year.” Martin is president of Piedmont Charity Sports Promotion, which also put on the inaugural High Point City Criterium in May – a series of races in downtown High Point similar to the Lexington races. pkimbrough@hpe.com 888-3531

Summer brings out home repair scams BY JORDAN HOWSE ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – During the summer, many people look for easy and inexpensive ways to take on home improvement projects. But sometimes, that’s not the way to go. High-pressure sales tactics have tricked consumers, especially seniors, into paying too much for their driveways to be repaved. The attorney general’s office recently took action against two companies after receiving consumer

complaints. Courts banned Tommy Clack, who uses many names for his company including Guilford County Paving, from residential paving in North Carolina and restricted the operations of Henry Heil from H.A.R.D Top Asphalt of the Carolinas after a $50,000 repayment. These scams tend to follow a pattern. Someone knocks on the door, claiming to have extra material from other paving projects in the area. They offer what they say is a low price, demand payment immediate-

ly, and a crew starts working as soon as the contract is signed, if not before. The materials and work turn out to be substandard, and the consumer ends up having to redo the job. Signs of a scam are the door-to door sales involving no contract or the need to sign a contract on the spot, having to pay immediately, and the contractor claiming he has leftover material, according to Kevin Hinterberger at the Better Business Bureau of Central North Carolina. “Reputable pavers usually

don’t have leftover material,” Hinterberger said. “Professional asphalt contractors know exactly how much they are going to need for a project, and they will rarely have leftover material.” The attorney general’s office recommends never paying in cash for goods or services bought from a door-to-door salesperson. Try to use a credit card or a check because most banks and credit card companies will allow consumers to dispute the charge if a problem is discovered. Hinterberger also said the scam may not be the only

thing consumers should watch out for. “If you have anyone on your property – roofing, tree trimming or paving – it’s best to make sure they are insured,” he said. “The consumer can end up paying if an employee gets hurt or damage is done to property.” To report home repair scams in North Carolina, contact the Consumer Protection Division of the attorney general’s office at 1-877-NO-SCAM or online at www.ncdoj.gov. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

WASHINGTON (AP) – A former top Russian spy who defected to the U.S. after running espionage operations from the United Nations, Sergei Tretyakov, has died in Florida, his wife and a friend said Friday. He was 53. News of his June 13 death came the same day the United States and Russia completed their largest spy swap since the Cold War. Tretyakov’s defection in 2000 was one of the most prominent cases involving Russia’s intelligence agency in the past decade. Tretyakov later said his agents helped the Russian government steal nearly $500 million from the U.N.’s oil-for-food program in Iraq. He was 53 when he died, according to a Social Security death record. WTOP Radio in Washington first reported his death Friday. His widow, Helen Tretyakov, told the station he died of natural causes. She said she announced his death Friday to prevent Russian intelligence from claiming responsibility or “flattering themselves that they punished Sergei.� Helen Tretyakov said her husband warned U.S. authorities when he defected that Russia was expanding deepcover operations. “He was aware that the part of the SVR budget for supporting illegals increased dramatically in the 1990s,� she told WTOP.

Construction is ongoing at the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and University of North Carolina Greensboro.

Schools to offer degrees studying small stuff GREENSBORO (AP) – As an undergrad at the University of Massachusetts, physics major Demitri Balabanov did research in condensed matter, an area he said has significant overlap with nanoscience. So, when a friend and UNCG professor told him about the UNCG and N.C. A&T Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, Balabanov moved to Greensboro to snag a slot in the school. “Nanoscience is basically the direction I

‘The thing is that most of the leading-edge technologies these days have some component that is probably related to notechnology.’ Jim Ryan Founding dean wanted to go in,� he said. “I just didn’t know it was called nanoscience.� Many people don’t know about nanoscience or realize how it influences their daily lives. The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering hopes to change that beginning this fall when it welcomes its inaugural class. “The thing is that most of the leading-edge technologies these days have some component that is probably related to nan-

otechnology,� said Jim Ryan, founding dean of the school. The school has been under construction for several months on East Lee Street at the Gateway University Research Park’s south campus. While waiting for the building to be completed, students will study in a temporary space on the park campus. Ryan expects 15 to 18 doctoral students to be enrolled in the fall, many of whom heard about the program by word of mouth. He has also secured several faculty members. A $1 million appropriation from the N.C. General Assembly will allow the school to complete its hiring. Nanoscience is the study of atoms and molecules smaller than 100 nanometers — or about 1,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair — to develop new capabilities used in various industries. Ryan said nanoparticles play a part in such innovative technologies as the ability to watch TV shows on cell phones. The science contributes to the computing power of game systems, and it is being used to make drug therapies more effective, he said. UNCG is offering degrees in nanoscience; N.C. A&T will soon offer degrees in nanoengineering. The universities believe the programs and their research will have a multimillion dollar economic impact on the Piedmont Triad. John Merrill, execu-

James Ryan, founding dean of the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and University of North Carolina Greensboro looks out from his office window onto the construction. tive director of the Gateway research park, said the joint school is the anchor for what the park is trying to do: spur research activity for the benefit of the universities, the park and the area. Any inventions that stem from the universities could attract companies to the park, he said. “What we hope is that ... this type of investment ... will pay dividends for not only the universities, but help to create jobs in the community,� Ryan said. “We’re working pretty hard on that right now.� Construction on the 105,000-square-foot, $56 million building started late last year, and from his office in the research park, Ryan has a prime view of it. “It’s just fas-

cinating to watch this going up.� From his window, Ryan can point to where everything in the building will be — from the offices to the 12 labs it will house. “These laboratories will be top-notch laboratories and with some great equipment,� he said. The first classes won’t be held in the building until January 2012, but two labs are already open in the school’s temporary location so students can begin their academic programs and research. One of those labs holds a $2.5 million helium-ion microscope, one of only about six in the country, Ryan said. The microscope allows the examination of very small biological materials with

high resolution. While there is still more than a month to go before classes begin, a handful of students were on site Thursday keeping busy in other ways. Balabanov is working on the school’s website, and others, like Steven Coleman, helped unpack and set up the labs. Coleman earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering from A&T and has long been interested in nanotechnology. “I had some big nanodreams back in the day,� said Coleman, who has studied the science at other schools. Those dreams include his own inventions. He’s mulling over the idea of a portable microwave. Despite his background in engineering,

Coleman said he was eager to be a part of the school and didn’t want to wait for the nanoengineering program to start. “I was just looking at the best path in, really,� he said. While the UNCG/A&T initiative is not the only nanotechnology program, it is unique, Ryan said. The program is offering degrees in both nanoscience and nanoengineering and is drawing on the talents of two groups of accomplished faculty. And the facility is being built from the ground up, allowing faculty to tailor it to the type of science and engineering research they want to do. “I believe it’s a highly innovative program,� Ryan said.

New monitors keep track of offenders on house arrest MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LENOIR – Ask officials at the Caldwell County Detention Center what they like about the updated electronic house arrest system, and most will tell you they like having additional bed space within the jail, the cost savings associated with the updated technology and the convenience of instant updates. They also will tell you that it keeps the community safer due to the fact they know every move that someone makes. “With the old system, we only knew if they were at home during their assigned curfew

Cops find ‘crack’ in victim’s story MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

HICKORY – A local man called police to report a home invasion and robbery early Friday morning. When officers arrived, he gave them two very different versions of events, according to the police report. The 56-year-old victim’s first story was that two men kicked their way into his apartment on Main Avenue NW at about 1 a.m. while he was spending time with two female companions. The men forced the victim to lay on his bed and pointed their guns at him and asked him where the money was. The muscular intruder punched the victim in the back twice as the slim man ransacked the apartment. Then they took $50 out of the man’s pocket and ran out the door. When pressed, Russell Louis Mungro changed his story. “He said it was a drug deal gone bad,� said Sgt. Brett Porter of the Hickory Police Department. Mungro told police he sells crack cocaine, and the men stole the three crack rocks he had in his pocket and the $50.

Day said the computer software monitors the battery strength of each bracelet, and uses satellites and towers to know where someone is at all times of the day. Day said he even knows how fast someone is traveling down the highway. “The program lets us set up hot zones and specific parameters for each person,� Day said. “We can mark a location that a certain person is ordered not to visit, and within a matter of minutes we will know if they have tried to visit. We also can tell how long someone stays at a particular location.�

In this June 20 file photo, the inside of the First New Mount Calvary Baptist Church, which was destroyed by an arson fire on May 12, is shown in Houston. The church is embroiled in a lawsuit, and the pastor has been arrested.

HOUSTON (AP) – The sanctuary at First New Mount Calvary Baptist Church is in shambles from an arson fire. The pastor is charged with murder. The church is embroiled in a nasty lawsuit. Members of the Baptist congregation believe it’s all a message from God: Stop bickering and rebuild the church together. “We got to have faith – if we got nothing else, we got to have faith,� interim pastor Earl Jackson tells his faithful as they swelter under a white tent in a parking lot just west of downtown. Before them are the charred remains of their beloved church. The odor of a raw sewage pipe wafts above them. Jackson’s sermon gets interrupted by the sound of long loud freight trains roaring by about 100 yards away. The future will be bright, he preaches. “We can do it,� he tells them as they cool themselves with paper

fans and sip bottles of ice-cold water. “You can do it. We’ll be viable again, more so than ever.� The three dozen or so worshippers – who live in a working-class black community, many of them in their 50s and 60s – cheer. They needed a reason to. In the early morning hours of May 12, flames tore through the church cafeteria and licked at the pews and organ. The building’s bricks still stand, but are ringed with thick ash. Houston fire investigators ruled it was arson and are investigating leads and suspects, department spokeswoman Alicia Whitehead said, declining to be more specific. Six days after the fire, police got a call that the pastor’s wife, 56-yearold Pauletta Burleson, was shot in the head while sitting in her driveway in a small subdivision 14 miles away near Lake Houston. Burleson’s husband, Tracy, and stepson, William Fuller, were ar-

rested on June 8 and charged with murder. Fuller told detectives his pastor-father paid him an unknown amount of money to kill Paulette. Even before the fire and killing, bickering between factions at Calvary spilled into the courts in a 37-page complaint filed in March 2009 that aimed to get Burleson removed as pastor of the 93-year-old church. Allegations included financial mismanagement, an extramarital affair between Burleson and a choir member and church leadership disregarding church bylaws. Membership plunged by two-thirds over the last two years, longtime churchgoers said. A month before the killing, police responded to a call at the Burleson’s home that “a known suspect� tried to assault Paulette with a baseball bat. “All the cases are being investigated to see if there’s any link between them,� said Deputy Harris County Sheriff Thomas Gilliland.

Locke Foundation’s comparison isn’t meaningful The John Locke Foundation’s annual “By The Numbers” report was the subject of three overlapping stories that appeared on your pages June 13. The John Locke Foundation adds up every tax and fee that is in effect in a county or municipality, then divides that total by the population of that county or municipality. The quotient becomes the basis for ranking the county or municipality as to its “burden.” The fee schedule of one jurisdiction is so different from the fee schedules of all the other jurisdictions that there can be no meaningful comparison. Including fees in an analysis of relative “burden” is a pointless distraction. So let’s concern ourselves

exclusively with the two universally applicable local exactions, the property tax and the sales tax, and whether per-capita revenue is a valid measure of “burden.” Think about that for a minute. In the eyes of the John Locke Foundation, my sales tax “burden” is diminished because my neighbor has 15 children. But I don’t recall that any of those little darlings offered to assist me the last time I had to remunerate the government for the privilege of buying a new refrigerator. Equating sales tax revenue with sales tax “burden” stigmatizes the success of the entrepreneurs in our midst. The John

Locke Foundation’s methodology implies that the way to relieve the sales tax “burden” is to padlock the establishments of our retail merchants. Likewise, the way to relieve the property tax “burden” would be to burn down all the houses. BARNEY W. HILL Thomasville

Taxpayers want wise spending Torture numbers, and they’ll confess to anything. – Gregg Easterbrook n the one hand, the fact that North Carolina’s spending per student remains near the bottom (45th, with $7,996 per student) in national rankings is sad. U.S. Census Bureau statistics show the national spending for the 2007-08 school term average is $10,259 per student. New York spent the most – $17,173 per student – while Utah spent the least – $5,765 per student. Do not put your faith in what statistics say until you have carefully considered what they do not say. – William W. Watt The Census report showed that on average, nationally, 48.3 percent of education funding comes from state revenues, 36.6 percent from local sources and 8.1 percent from the federal government. While that may be close enough for government work, as the saying goes, those figures account for only 93 percent of the funding. We all can wonder from where the rest comes: perhaps from foundation and corporate grants, donations from those genuinely concerned about public education, etc. Meanwhile, it was reported that North Carolina provides 58.8 percent of the money for education, while 32 percent comes from local taxes and 9.1 percent comes from the feds – for a total of 99.9 percent. Note: 93 percent of the money nationally and 99 percent of the money in North Carolina for education comes from taxpayers. Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. – Aaron Levenstein It is not difficult for one to conclude, from the Census Bureau report, that North Carolinians should be spending more money per pupil on public education. Keep foremost in your mind, however, that simply throwing more money at the problem isn’t going to fix it. It could, as it often has done in the past, have little positive and sometimes negative impact. If the Tarheel State is going to increase its per-pupil spending, the General Assembly, Department of Public Instruction and others directly involved in the process must make certain the money is being spent wisely – on programs and processes that ensure a higher level of education for all students. More money alone is not a satisfactory solution – nationally or for North Carolina.

The High Point Enterprise is committed to this community ... and always will serve it by being an intensely local newspaper of excellent quality every day.

Newspaper carrier’s job can be tough; sometimes thankless

A

bout a month after The High Point Enterprise’s 2009-10 Readership Committee class graduated, ML Koebberling dropped into the office to thank the rest of the Enterprise presenters and me for what she thought was a terrific experience. She made the special thank-you trip because she and husband Karl had been out of town on graduation day. While she was here, she commented how much fun the session just previous to graduation had been with Daniel Pittman, Enterprise circulation director, as the presenter. At the end of his presentation, Pittman – with Publisher Mike Starn and me in tow as judges – took the 19 class members who were there that night to a rear area of the building to test their paper toss skills. Some class members – women and men – had recalled, during Pittman’s presentation and the discussion that followed, that they had been carriers in their youth. Pittman’s paper-toss “game” had two purposes: 1. to test their present day skills and, more importantly, 2. to show them how difficult it is for an adult carrier in a moving car to have the paper end up exactly where the subscriber expects (or at least desires) it to be. The door mat in front of a door to a no-longer-used office was the paper-toss target. A small table, with flowers in a vase atop it, sat a little more than 3 feet to the left of the door. Three more small plants sat on a window sill between the table and the door. Just to the left of the door mat sat a milk can with a plant atop it, and, just to the right of the mat was a bush. To make it a little more interesting, three cups of water sat between the table and the milk can. Spill the water, be expelled from the game. Class members had to toss first a daily paper then a Sunday paper from a 4-foot wide opening beside a wall 10 yards from the door – with a 7-foot high bush blocking part of their view. To stay in contention for the prizes (Enterprise umbrellas), contestants had to have one of their tosses land on the mat, without knocking any of the plants or flowers askew and, of course, without tipping the cups of water. Interestingly enough, most of those who said they were former carriers bowed out in the first round. Picture in your own mind riding past a fairly tight launching spot in a car, as carriers do today, or even on a bicycle, as many youth carriers did in days long gone by.

Last Thursday, I asked Pittman what’s the biggest difference he has noticed in circulation since he started down that career path 13 years ago. “Subscriber demands,” he quickly responded. “They want it earlier and earlier and, as you OPINION know, we can get it there only so early.” Tom When I asked about expecBlount tations for carrier delivery, ■■■ Pittman said his goal is 1 error per thousand customers – considerably higher than the U.S. Postal System expectation (which didn’t meet its 90 percent goal in fiscal year 2005) – and, currently, carriers are averaging 2 errors per thousand. Carrier turnover, which was quite high for most newspapers just a few years ago, has slowed considerably, Pittman said, citing the uncertain economy as a major factor. Pittman estimates that 30 percent of the Enterprise carrier force has been on the job 10 years or more. My carrier and his wife have been on at least part of their present route for a quarter of a century. A few decades ago, when the Enterprise was delivered in the afternoon, the bulk of its carrier force – especially in the city – was teenagers. Today, the entire carrier force is adult. There are fewer routes than in the old days and today’s routes are miles longer with hundreds of customers – a necessity to make the effort pay. Carriers are delivering papers in the dark most of the time, dodging parked vehicles and other obstacles on often narrow streets/roads, trying to toss the paper to the “right” spot on your driveway or lawn. A number of Readership Committee members, just like a considerable volume of subscribers, ask why every carrier doesn’t put the paper in an Enterprise tube if it’s available. The answer: Time and wear-and-tear on the vehicle’s brakes. Delivering a route could take up to twice as long if the carrier came to a full stop and put every paper in a tube and, as it is, Pittman says, carriers go through brakes on average every four to six weeks. We want you to call when your carrier messes up. But consider cutting your carrier, an independent contractor, some slack. It’s a tough job, most of the time performed at a very high level.

Waiter, Taxpayers shouldn’t take this ferry ride there’s an W elephant in my soup!

T

he “ridiculous spectacle” of our “first black President” heaping accolades on an Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan at Democrat Robert Byrd’s funeral was just too much. And what Obama had to say was pretty comical, as well. Really, the only thing that could have made it more entertaining would have been to have the entire funeral cast perform in black face. As I watched in bemusement, it occurred to me that Democrats have the wrong mascot. Hey, it’s certainly difficult to make the case that an ass isn’t perfect, both literally and figuratively, but just think for a moment. You go into your favorite restaurant and, over on one side of the room stands a gargantuan elephant. He’s swaying back and forth, blowing air through his trunk, smashing stuff, and just stinking the place up in general. Then, OPINION out of the kitchen comes your waiter Steve to greet you, and Bryant ask for your order. ■■■ When you mention the elephant, his reply is “what elephant?” Well, that’s the way this is ... except if you’re a Democrat, you don’t mention the elephant. If you’re a Democrat, you don’t mention that you’re guy has been a racist while pandering to West Virginian voters ... because it was never about racism anyway. If you’re a Democrat, you don’t mention that the general Obama chose to run his war in Afghanistan, and who was just confirmed with a 100 percent Senate vote, is the same guy you ridiculed as “General Betrayus” a couple of years ago when he was Bush’s choice ... because it was never about his competency. If you’re a Democrat, you don’t mention the thousands who died needlessly from AIDS because of your politically correct posture that prevented the surgeon general from identifying and quarantining the infected ... because it was never about the AIDS victims. If you’re a Democrat, you don’t mention that the federal government has no intentions of stopping the invasion of our country while you file lawsuits against the states who try to secure their own borders. You don’t mention that these illegal invaders have destroyed our health care system, our education system and our social safety nets ... because it was never about concern for immigrants. If you’re a Democrat, you don’t mention that the same Europe that you claimed we should be emulating is drowning in a debt of ever-increasing public entitlements that you say we need here ... because it never was about a better way to do things. And, if you’re a Democrat, you don’t mention that the real cause of the greatest environmental disaster of all times is the result of preventing the free market from providing the energy that we must have from much more sensible sources than from miles below the ocean floor ... because, it never was about the environment. No, if you’re a Democrat, you don’t even mention it when the elephant eats all of the food and then passes the byproduct back onto the floor ... because, it never was about any of the ridiculous anti-gravity, anti-common sense notions that you claim to profess. Because, its all about turf, baby. “What would Republicans do if we gave Dems the elephant mascot?” you ask. Well, they could have the ass, because that’s what they deserve for letting it all happen. And I think the tea bag is already taken. STEVE BRYANT lives in High Point and can be reached for comments or conversation at MISTERSTEVERINO@AOL.COM.

e applaud Gov. Perdue’s efforts to clean up the State Highway Patrol. While the governor is in a clean-up mode she should expand her efforts to the Ferry Division of the Department of Transportation. Insiders in state government have long known that the Department of Motor Vehicles and the ferry division are dumping groups for political appointees. More than one effort has been made to clean up DMV and some progress has been made, but not so at the ferry division, largely because this agency has at least one high-ranking patron who prevents cleanup and protects its budgets. While other agencies of state government have felt the budget axe, this year’s ferry division budget was increased from $32.2 million to $43.5 million dollars, a whopping 35 percent increase. North Carolina has the second largest ferry system in the nation, with seven ferry routes that transport over 2.5 million people per year on

more than 20 ferries. Most of those routes are free, but some trips of the same duration require tolls be paid. It is MY SPIN evident some plan needs to Tom be developed Campbell to determine ■■■ whether all trips should be free, all have tolls or how tolls will be assessed. DOT appeared ready to clean up ferries, hiring Harold “Buddy” Finch, a 58-year-old, recently retired Coast Guard officer with a reputation for no nonsense management. Finch was told to develop a business plan for the division within 60 days, a desirable but difficult task for an agency with 500 employees, a $32 million dollar budget and known disorganization. He was abruptly fired on June 25, less than 60 days after starting work, after reporting to leaders within DOT that the division had no

detailed budget, was spending more than 10 percent of its budget on overtime compensation, was loaded with nepotism, failed to provide proper oversight on outside contractors and spent money excessively. Finch reported that one employee reported 113 hours of overtime in a four-week period and that same employee’s husband worked at the same location, even though his job description listed his work site elsewhere, clearly a violation of rules. That same employee was allowed to approve her own time sheet and that of her husband, while also securing temporary employment for her sister. Finch was concerned that a half-million dollar contract for dredging was poorly managed and had exceeded its budget by almost half a million dollars. And there was improper spending on credit card purchases. No wonder Finch didn’t develop a business plan. Instead of applauding his work, Finch was fired.

DOT officials claim his firing came as a result of his failure to produce the business plan and personality conflicts within the staff. Outsiders speculate Finch threatened to break up cozy fiefdoms and unrestricted spending within the agency, resulting in the former ferry division head as well as political leadership demanding his termination. This has gone on long enough. In our current budget crisis North Carolina cannot tolerate extravagant or wasteful spending. Leaders cannot justify straining to save teaching jobs and providing other urgently needed services while tolerating badly mismanaged agencies. Perdue must immediately step in and clean house. Taxpayers should not be taken on this ferry ride.

Border clash Arizona case pits doctrinaire libertarianism against American sovereignty BY MARK W. HENDRICKSON

R

ecently, Bill O’Reilly interviewed John Stossel about the dangerous situation along Arizona’s porous border with Mexico. Stossel is probably my favorite reporter. I admire the way he demolishes popular myths, particularly economic myths. However, on the topic of how to deal with waves of illegals (some of them perpetrators of violent crime) in Arizona, his remarks were perplexing. Stossel’s arguments showcased “doctrinaire libertarianism” – defined here as the rigid belief that government is always the greater evil. Essentially, though by no means condoning crime, Stossel was more willing to tolerate illegal aliens imposing murder, mayhem and an oppressive sense of danger on American citizens than to defend against such aggression by the deployment of National Guardsmen. This position is baffling, because a primary libertarian tenet is nonaggression. It suggests that Stossel’s rejection of government is so total that he prefers violent anarchy in the southern Arizona desert to Uncle Sam doing what our Founding Fathers said was the sole legitimate function of government, namely, to protect the life, liberty and property of citizens. Stossel implied that gangs of Mexican drug smugglers wouldn’t sneak into our country if drugs were legalized. Even assuming that were true, I was dismayed by his stance: because the current U.S. drug policy is wrong, we shouldn’t waste tax dollars protecting the innocent Arizonans whose lives are in danger. Say it ain’t so, John! Like many libertarians,

Stossel tends to view the right to liberty (in this case, the liberty of foreigners to enter our country) as absolute. This is impossible in practice. In first-year law school, students learn that the precious right of free speech doesn’t include the right to shout “Fire!” in a crowded theater. The fact is that an alarming number of noncitizens have crossed into the United States and murdered Americans who live in southern Arizona. So dangerous has that area become that American officials have publicly warned American citizens to stay away from a miles-wide swath of American territory

abutting the Mexican border. The Obama administration refuses to send sufficient reinforcements to the understaffed border patrol to enable them to repel the invasion of illegal aliens, some of whom are truly lethally dangerous. For Stossel to maintain that the federal and state governments should not deploy National Guard troops to secure the border because it is expensive turns people off to libertarianism. I share Stossel’s aversion to big, expensive, wasteful government. But to make a dollars-and-cents argument that the United States, still the wealthiest country in the

world, shouldn’t spend money to defend its citizens and its borders against swarms of sometimes-violent foreign invaders is flabbergasting. Libertarians promulgate and promote many sound economic ideas. They are in the vanguard of making the necessary case for greater economic liberty (no, not the total liberty of no laws or rules of the game to protect the innocent). Many of the free-market principles that libertarians articulate and the policy reforms that they propose are our country’s only hope for avoiding economic stagnation and a quantum reduction in individual liberty under growing government regimentation. By taking a doctrinaire ideological position on illegal immigration and appearing to side with foreign aggressors against the fundamental rights of American citizens, Stossel has made a tragic strategic mistake. He has made it less likely that Americans will listen with an open mind to anyone labeled as having libertarian beliefs. I, for one, will continue to value his excellent reporting on economic issues, but I fear that many mainstream Americans who desperately need to learn what Stossel teaches will now tune him out. Meanwhile, come on, Mr. President, secure the border. American citizens’ right to life must be secured against foreign invaders. That point is not debatable. Protection of its citizens is a core function of government. MARK W. HENDRICKSON, Ph.D., is an adjunct faculty member, economist, and contributing scholar with The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College.

In Clayton, manager made right call BY SCOTT BOLEJACK

I

can empathize with Clayton Town Manager Steve Biggs, who last week had to lay off some of the town staff because of budget cuts. In the past couple of years, I’ve lost coworkers to spending cuts too. It’s hard to say good-bye to people losing their jobs through no fault of their own, and I suspect doing so was especially hard for Mr. Biggs, because the layoffs were his idea. Still, Mr. Biggs was right to

GUEST COLUMN

---

recommend the job cuts, and the Town Council was right to OK them as part of the 2010-11 budget. Whether in business or government, spending cuts are a practical response to flat or falling revenue. In Clayton, Mr. Biggs could have recommended tax increases to keep employees on the payroll. But he is the rare bureaucrat who understands market forces, and he

knew tax increases would have been bad for a Clayton economy that is trying to emerge from the recession. Government is not unlike business, which exists to provide a product or service. And just like General Motors might shed some employees to keep others making cars, government shouldn’t hesitate to trim payroll to continue providing needed services. In Clayton, folks expect the following from town government: police and fire protection, water and sewer, street

upkeep and, in most neigborhoods, electricity. They might expect recreation in Clayton, too, but in the eyes of taxpayers, I suspect, any job not tied to basic services is expendable. So while I empathize with Mr. Biggs, I’d also tell him that he’s doing right by Clayton taxpayers and that doing right by taxpayers is his top priority. Of course, he already knows that.

The ‘doughnut hole’ Checks for Medicare Plan D recipients won’t eliminate funding gap MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

TRIAD — A one-time $250 check is not going to plug the “doughnut hole” in the prescription-drug costs for Medicare recipients. After all, the gap between the initial coverage limit for Medicare Plan D and the catastrophic coverage extension is $3,610 for what

Medicare calls “true outof-pocket expenses.” But the $250, which comes from the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, should come in handy for local recipients, said Andi Reese, the aging-resources counselor for Senior Services Inc. in Winston-Salem. The second round of checks was mailed last week to about 300,000

seniors nationwide. The checks are going to recipients who enter the gap in April, May or June. The doughnut hole is reached once a participant has $2,830 in total drug costs. They pay the full cost of prescription drugs until their total out-of-pocket cost reaches $4,550. “Two hundred fifty dollars does not go very far when you consider the people who have reached the doughnut hole this early in the year,” Reese said. “Most of them will have full out-of-pocket

costs of more than $400 a month while in the doughnut hole.” However, Reese said, beneficiaries can use the $250 “any way they want, and it is not taxable or counted toward their income.” Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of Health and Human Resources, said that 70 percent of the checks sent in the first distribution round – covering January through March and mailed in mid-June – were cashed within the first week of being received. Beginning this month,

recipients will receive the check within a month of reaching the doughnut hole. Those enrolled in the Medicare Extra Help program for low-income citizens, or a qualified retiree prescription-drug plan, are not eligible for the onetime check. A second phase of the act kicks in next year when recipients will receive a 50-percent discount on their brandname medications. The act provides additional steps for closing the gap from 2012 until 2020.

HIGH IN CYBER

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT — It may seem like an unusual place, but Lisa Allen was standing in a hotel room in Manhattan Beach, Calif., where she was working for a large, corporate entity, when she realized she wanted to operate her own restaurant. Allen was a procurement agent for a pharmaceutical company at the time, and she lived in the same hotel room for two years while working the job. She had left the farm in South Carolina where she grew up, graduated from Clemson University and began her career. In all measures of success, she had made it. But something still wasn’t right. “I had a lot of time in that hotel room to ask myself, ‘What do you really want to do,?’” she said. The answer was just as unlikely. But, after a lot of soul searching, she found that operating the East Coast Wings and Grill at 2900 N. Main St. in High Point was exactly what she wanted. Looking back, Allen, 37, has trouble answering the question, “Why wings?” She interviewed with several different restaurant franchises for one year after she left California, and hot wing establishments just seemed to be what she was looking for. “Wing restaurants are places you can come with your family, a group of girls or a group of guys and have fun,” she said. “It isn’t too formal. You don’t have to worry about getting wing sauce on your shirt. You can just have fun.” It may not be formal, but since Allen bought the restaurant in 2004,

Business is booming at East Coast Wings, where manager Lisa Allen said sales have increased fourfold, leading to two expansions. it has been profitable. When she opened, the business was averaging about $30,000 a month in sales and operating in a 1,400-square-foot space. Today, it averages $135,000 a month, a total of $1.62 million per year, and has expanded to 3,950 square feet. In its most recent expansion in May, Allen almost doubled her staff to 30 employees, and a full-service bar was added. “This is just a fun, energetic place to be,” she said about the restaurant’s sizzling success. “I’ve learned that you have to have a combination of good food and a good atmosphere. And the team that stands behind me is an amazing staff.” Her staff certainly is important, but Allen can’t deny that she has a strong work ethic of her own, one she began to develop as a child, that

Occupation: Franchise owner of East Coast Wings and Grill on N. Main Street Age: 37 Hometown: Kinards, S.C. Hobbies: Spending time with her two Australian Shepherds Favorite food: Southwest Salad from East Coast Wings and Grill Favorite music: Top 40, Country, 80s

has attributed to her success as a franchise owner. On the Kinards, S.C., farm where she grew up, Allen said there were “horses, cows, pigs and the whole nine yards.” She had chores to do every day before and after school. “Growing up on a farm,

you learn to work hard and rely on your neighbors and family,” she said. “You learn to do your chores, but to have fun every day, too.” She carried her work ethic into her career as a procurement agent, but eventually she found drawbacks to “working for the man.”

That’s where the East Coast Wings franchise came in. The owners of the original Winston-Salem location had been considering a franchise location, but they made the decision after Allen made a cold-call to the restaurant and asked if she could shadow the owners for a few days. “They told me they couldn’t believe I called because they were just considering a franchise branch,” she said. The result was Allen opening the first franchise location, loving her job and, of course, no longer living in a hotel room. She said the mix of hard work and fun can be seen at the restaurant, which serves 75 flavors of hot wings. “This is just a fun, energetic place to be with a variety of food,” she said.

LONDON (AP) – U.S. online retailer Amazon has launched a grocery website in Britain, offering customers products from companies including Kraft, Pepsi and Proctor & Gamble.

Chrysler ended production of the PT Cruiser on Friday a decade after the retro-styled wagon roared onto the road with its trend-setting looks and Al Capone swagger. Chrysler could barely keep up with demand in 2001, the vehicle’s peak year, when it sold 144,717. But it’s been in a slow decline for years; the company sold just 17,941 PT Cruisers last year.

Wendy’s sets sights on salads, breakfast NEW YORK (AP) – Wendy’s is introducing a line of new salads such as Apple Pecan Chicken and BLT Cobb as the fast-food chain tailors its sales pitch to focus on “real” ingredients to appeal to foodies. The company, a unit of Wendy’s/Arby’s Group Inc., is also testing breakfast again across the country. Chief Marketing Officer Ken Calwell said he expects to know more about moving into that growing restaurant segment as early as later this year. Calwell said the company plans to use what it learns through its new line of salads and expand it into remaking other areas of the company’s business, including burgers, chicken and breakfast. The line of four salads is available nationwide starting Friday. The salads retail for $5.99, about $1 more than the previous Garden Sensations line. The chain

introduced those in 2002 and has long been considered an innovator in salads. It was the first fast-food chain to market with a salad bar in the 1980s. Rivals McDonald’s Corp. and Burger King Corp. have long served breakfast, and sandwich chain Subway, which has the most locations of any U.S. fast-food chain, rolled out a nationwide breakfast menu earlier this year. Breakfast is one of the bright spots for the industry, which has been hurting as people pare back on their spending in the sluggish economy. It’s less expensive than other meals and quick, appealing to people on the go in the mornings. According to market research firm The NPD Group, morning meal traffic rose on average 2 percent over the past five years, while lunch visits were flat and dinner fell 2 percent.

If you do it, you’ll also be able to identify an invaluable company. Mitchell Pisik, president and CEO of wood stove manufacturer Breckwell Products LLC, has hired 1,200 employees at all levels. Headquartered in Arlington, Texas, he emphasizes differentiation. Make the case, he says, “that you can do the job better than anyone else. You’re not competing against yourself but everyone else. Get out of the house and talk to as many people as you can.” Communicate your value clearly as an individual who can handle several positions in multiple industries and companies of all sizes. Then, act as if you’re ready to work so that you can interview instantly, Pisik advises. Keep your resume within reach. Write on the back of your business card what you do. “When you give someone a card,” he advises, “write on it what the person promised to do for you. For

example, if he’s to get information about a food company, put, ‘Thank you for providing information on a food company.’ ” Richard Chess, managing partner at Chess Law Firm PLC, in Richmond, Va., brings other approaches to the market because of today’s conditions. He notes that “disarray” in companies, including the profitable ones, has prompted “most (to be) looking for a new direction.” Chess advocates a strategy of developing one small contribution to increase the likelihood of being hired. For example, research the company’s software and propose another that would be more effective. He’s hired 300 people. Perform your due diligence by speaking with suppliers, he recommends, to identify a good company. Even those without the account can provide evermore-valuable information. “Every firm buys copy paper,” Chess notes. “Those who supply component parts generally have known the company for years and years.” If you learn about new computers, read about their problems on the Web so you can discuss them in the interview. He says that lawyers and accountants will

This could mean: • taking doughnuts to the front desk; • contacting an alumni association to meet an executive; • attending a church dinner where you shake hands with another; • asking for a speech one gave; and • inserting a flyer under another’s windshield wipers. Very different perspective

comes from Mark Gilmore, president of the 15-year-old Wired Integrations Inc., a systems integration company in San Jose, Calif. Resumes are extremely important for him. He rapidly winnows 100 of them to seven or 10 by identifying specific credentials, relatively smooth work histories and clean presentation, at which point he conducts telephone interviews. Then he interviews the top two or three in person.

goal attainment in line with a company’s expectations. “Now it’s about personality,” he points out. “Be the lunch guy. You want to be the kind of person people want to work with and be with. Be interesting and interested. Once you’ve made your point, stop. Don’t ramble. Don’t repeat. Be entertaining. If the interviewer doesn’t quickly come back with another question, ask if the person would like you to elaborate.” Check to see whether that person is the lunch guy, too.

Pisik points out that an invitation to interview signals that your campaign is successful. This is the time to share strategies for problem-solving and

In Memoriam

Just close your eyes And open your heart And feel your worries And cares depart.... Just yield yourself To the Father above And let Him hold you Secure in His love. For life on earth Grows more involved With endless problems That can't be solved But God only asks us To do our best. Then He will "take over" And finish the rest.... So when you are tired, Discouraged, and blue There's always one door That is open to youAnd that is the door To "The House of Prayer" And you'll find God waiting To meet you there.... And "The House of Prayer" Is no farther away Than the quiet spot Where you kneel and pray. For the heart is a temple When God is there, As we place ourselves In His loving care. And He hears every prayer And answers each one When we pray in His name "Thy will be done" And the burdens that seemed Too heavy to bear Are lifted away On "The Wings of Prayer"

Soccer underachievers get shot at glory JOHANNESBURG (AP) – After all the bluster about Brazil and the awe inspired by Germany, the World Cup comes down to two of the all-time underachievers playing for their first title. Spain and the Netherlands, teams with long histories of wasting their biggest opportunities, meet today at Soccer City to conclude the first World Cup held in Africa. What began as a celebration of this continent, then turned into a South American fiesta for two rounds, finishes off with one European country discarding its also-ran label.

Inside...

----

Matchup reports on finale; Germany’s win over Uruguay in the third-place game. 2D Which one? “I am sure the Spanish can win any game because they are dominant and it’s hard to contain their attack,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said after his team lost 1-0 in the semis. “They have shown they can beat anyone.”

Perhaps. But ... “The Dutch can create a goal from any situation,” coach Oscar Tabarez said after his Uruguay squad allowed three to the Netherlands, one more than it gave up in the rest of the event. “They play some beautiful football.” How nice it would be if this final featured just that: well-played, open, creative soccer. That’s what both the Dutch and Spaniards do best. So if coaches Bert van Marwijk and Vicente del Bosque don’t turn conservative all of a sudden, today’s showdown could turn into one entertaining shootout.

Orth wastes no time I

t really should come as no surprise that Matt Orth delivered a verbal commitment to a college baseball coach three years before the end of his high school career. College coaches – and pro scouts, no doubt – already can see in Orth the talent that’s been groomed since he was 9 years old. That’s when he started taking lessons and playing on some of the area’s elite travel teams. The family’s High Point home has a pitcher’s mound in the yard. Dad Keith Orth has worn out a number of catcher’s mitts. And the family has logged countless miles visiting nameless diamonds across the country. But that’s nothing, Matt Orth said. Now that he’s given a verbal commitment to play for the North Carolina Tar Heels, the work begins in earnest. “The hard work starts now to get that spot that you want,” Orth said. “If I want to start pitching right when I get there, be a two-way player, I’ve got to work even harder from now on.” Heady stuff from a 15-yearold. Then again, Orth’s not your average kid about to start his sophomore year. “In a scenario where you have a ninth-grader who’s maybe going to play varsity, you might have some concerns, but I knew Matt was mature enough to handle the situation,” Southwest Guilford coach Reid Holmes said of his first impressions of the player. “He fit right in from Day 1. He was very advanced as a ninth-grader.” Orth might have been a well-known up-and-comer in local baseball circles, but he announced his presence to a wider audience in a big way last spring for the Cowboys. He finished 9-2 with a save and earned unanimous all-league honors in the top-notch Piedmont Triad 4A Conference. In 69 innings, the left-hander struck out 127 batters and walked just 19. And he shined just as much at the plate, leading Southwest with 29 RBIs and placing second with a .379 batting average. The first baseman also slugged three home runs. “Start on varsity, pitch for varsity, be a two-way player – that’s what I was hoping,” Orth said of his expectations entering the year. “In February I started going in the mornings, doing little

things with the varsity team, and I did well at tryouts.” He won his first game of the season and overwhelmed PTC regular-season champ East SPORTS Forsyth in his last. Orth recorded 17 Steve Ks in the conferHanf ence tournament ■■■ title game win, enjoying “one of the best games I’ve ever pitched” thanks to a sharp curveball and a fastball East couldn’t touch. A month after the end of his first high school season, Orth found himself back in Chapel Hill for a prospects camp. He’d been attending UNC baseball camps with coach Mike Fox’s staff the past five years, so the Tar Heels knew exactly what they had in front of them. After the camp, Orth chatted with the coaches for a while that Saturday night and again the next day. That’s when he gave his verbal commitment. He can’t sign a National Letter of Intent until the first Wednesday in November of his senior year. It’s too early for Orth to take his five official visits, but the family has gone on a number of unofficial trips. Schools such as South Carolina and Wake Forest also caught Orth’s eye, but this is one verbal commitment that seems pretty firm. “UNC was my top pick,” Orth said. “I’ve always liked UNC, been there since I was 10 years old. I’ve always had a good feel for the college, felt comfortable being on the campus.” With that decision made on the strength of everything Orth’s done to this point, it’s on to the really, really hard work ahead. Orth began taking lessons with Scott Bankhead – the 10-year major-leaguer – at the North Carolina Baseball Academy when he was 9. After four years there, he began playing for the Dirtbags showcase team, and last year he started taking lessons from Tom Dorzweiler. Best known now as manager of the Thomasville HiToms’ summer team, Dorzweiler pitched for the University of Kansas and the St. Louis Cardinals’ organization and has been instrumental in Orth’s development. “He got my velocity higher, my curveball developed bet-

The Los Angeles Clippers signed draft picks AlFarouq Aminu of Wake Forest and Eric Bledsoe of Kentucky on Saturday. Aminu was the eighth overall pick in last month’s NBA draft. Bledsoe was the 18th pick whom the Clippers got in a draft-day trade after he was originally chosen by Oklahoma City. Aminu left Wake after averaging 15.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 4.4 blocks in his sophomore year.

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Matt Orth, a rising sophomore at Southwest Guilford, throws at Finch Field. The talented left-hander recently committed to play for UNC. ter,” Orth explained. Father and son praised all the coaches along the way, from Holmes’ careful use of the young phenom to Bankhead’s extraordinary care. He didn’t allow Orth to throw a curveball until he was 14 years old. No sense in destroying a blossoming career with arm strain at such a young age. The family and coaches keep close track of Orth’s pitch count for the year, through the high school, summer and fall seasons. Orth, doubtless still growing while already standing a solid 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, will begin a training program next month with Carmine Pagano at Greensboro Batting Center. The goal is to add about 20 pounds to Orth’s frame by January and work on his core strength. It’ll help with hitting, certainly, and Orth also hopes to

increase his 85-mph fastball to 88 or 90 by the spring. He’ll soon begin working on a slider as well, to go along with the devastating fastball, curve and change-up. “When he first started playing baseball he developed really quickly,” Keith Orth said of the time, effort and funds invested by Matt, older sister Kaley, mom Angela – the other lefty of the family – and himself. “With him being a left-hander, we knew the direction to take him was pitching. We’ve spent a lot of time, but Matt has always wanted to work hard. He’s given up a lot of stuff: trips to the lake, the beach, just hanging out with friends. I believe he knows it will pay off one day. It already has, getting a chance to play for Carolina, and the future’s wide open.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

TOPS ON TV

HIT AND RUN s it just me, or do area big-league baseball fans suffer through more blackouts than a lead actress on a cheesy soap opera? Fans of the Atlanta Braves regularly call me and (correctly) point out that too many games scheduled for national cable channels (i.e. ESPN, ESPN2 and TBS) end up being blacked out locally. That means that unless one has access to SportSouth, FSN or Peach Tree TV, one does not get to watch the Braves live. I’ve done some checking, and it appears most area television viewers have fairly

WHO’S NEWS

ready access to SportSouth and FSN. But when it comes to Peach Tree TV – the primary summer cable home of the Braves – I know very few people who receive this Atlanta-based channel. That’s too bad. I understand baseball is big business. Folks in the TV industry are in it to make a living. That’s fine. But it seems a bit much that a station more than five hours away in Georgia can black out TV coverage in the Triad. I doubt you get too many last-minute walk-

up fans at Turner Field who decide to make the drive from High Point to Atlanta. It’s unlikely these same people are going to drive five hours to get into range of Peach Tree TV, either. Still, we in North Carolina are considered the “home” market for the Braves, so we are subject to blackouts until October. Here’s hoping the Braves make it to the postseason, because last time I checked, the Triad still gets the national feed for MLB playoff games.

WHEN THE NETHERLANDS HAS THE BALL

AP

Arjen Robben of the Netherlands plays with the ball during Saturday’s training session ahead of today’s final World Cup soccer match against Spain at Soccer City stadium near Johannesburg, South Africa.

Ref: From infamy to title match THE WORLD CUP NOTEBOOK: DERDEPOORT, South Africa (AP) – World Cup final referee Howard Webb is getting a much better ending to his second big tournament than to his first. Today, the shaven-headed former policeman will stride out in front of the Netherlands and Spain teams at Soccer City after being given his profession’s most prestigious assignment. Two years ago, the English official was sent home early from the European Championship for a missed offside call in a group-stage match. That match between host Austria and Poland also is remembered for a stoppage-time penalty kick that earned him death threats from Polish fans. Webb’s ordeal was captured by a film crew with authorized behindthe-scenes access to make the documentary “Kill The Referee.” “We see the knife-edge that we live on in terms of officiating at major tournaments,” Webb said about the film on Saturday. “One big decision and the ambitions that we have can be cut short.” The experience certainly didn’t kill Webb’s career, and appears to have made him stronger. Alongside the same team of assistants, Darren Cann and Mike Mullarkey, who shared his Euro 2008 disappointment, he will be busy today. “We have certainly kept trying and refocused and we’re delighted with the way this has gone,” the 38year-old Webb said. “This is a massive honor for us. This is massively important for the world. It only comes around every four years.” The English trio had a strong World Cup even as high-profile errors by some of their colleagues have become headline material. Webb has been particularly praised for his player-management skills to keep firm control of three matches without showing a red card. Notably, his handling of a highly charged, win-or-go-home group match between defending champion Italy and Slovakia won acclaim. “We need to try to be a calming influence on the game,” Webb explained. “The perfect game for me would be one where nobody is speaking about the officials, and they are speaking about the excellent game of football and the skill of the players. “That is what the 80,000 people at Soccer City will come to see.”

Dutch air space Monday. The same orange F-16 roared low over Amsterdam’s Arena moments before the Netherlands routed Hungary 61 in its final World Cup warmup. Cruyff also praised Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque for forging a cohesive team out of stars drawn from archrival clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona. Cruyff, who now divides his time between Spain and the Netherlands, did not predict who would win. “I have links with both the Netherlands and Spain,” he said. “Whatever the result, I win.”

DOOOOEEEELLLL!

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque balances the ball as he takes part in a training session Saturday. TV RATINGS SOAR IN U.S. After 62 of the 64 games of the World Cup, ESPN/ABC networks have averaged a 1.9 U.S. rating, up 36 percent from 1.4 through the same point in 2006. The average household audience is up 41 percent from 1.575 million to 2.227 million and the viewer audience is up 45 percent to nearly 3 million. The 2010 event is also ahead of 1994, when the World Cup was held in the United States and was the most-watched World Cup in U.S. television history. Through the quarterfinals, this year’s competition averaged 2.198 million homes, up 32 percent from 16 years ago.

MORE LIKE ME Dutch soccer great Johan Cruyff says that of the two teams in the World Cup final he “sees the most of me” in Spain and not the Netherlands. The former midfield star and architect of Dutch “total football” of the 1970s made the comment in an interview with De Telgraaf. His country of birth is whipping itself into a soccer frenzy for the final in Johannesburg. An orange tram rode around Amsterdam on Saturday, and the Defense Ministry announced that two F-16 fighter jets, including one painted orange, will escort the team’s plane home once it reaches

There are 11 ways in which South Africans can shout “Goal!” and the government has a book to prove it. As the World Cup fever was getting into its swing, the South African government’s department of arts and culture asked teams of linguists, sports experts, journalists and broadcasters to compile, then translate, a list of 348 key soccer terms. They wanted “to ensure that each and every South African gets the opportunity to be acquainted with the relevant information pertaining to the World Cup in their own language.” And the experts obliged. After years of work, they produced a 240-page book that translates key soccer terms in South Africa’s 11 official languages. A goal in English is “Doel” in Afrikaans, “Igoli” in Zulu or “Inqaku” in Xhosa. Words like “penalty” and even “underdog” were translated.

FORMULA ONE OPINION Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso reckons there’s more chance of his country winning the World Cup today than him winning the British Grand Prix. Alonso qualified in third place for the race at Silverstone, England, which takes place before Spain plays the Netherlands in the World Cup final. Alonso finished eighth at the European Grand Prix two weeks ago. He believes “it’s easier that the football team wins tomorrow.” The reigning European champions have never reached a World Cup final before and the Ferrari driver is urging them “to capitalize on this opportunity, just in case we have to wait another 40 or 50 years to get here again. Try to make people happy.”

Germany captures consolation prize PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (AP) – In pouring rain on a ragged field, Germany and Uruguay staged a match entertaining enough to be for the World Cup title. Too bad it was only for third place. Sami Khedira scored in the 82nd minute to give Germany a 3-2 victory and third place for the second straight World Cup. But the Germans had to survive a final-second free kick by Uruguay star striker Diego Forlan from just outside the penalty area. It ricocheted

off the crossbar, and the whistle sounded. Rain-soaked players shook hands and awaited a medals ceremony that was not nearly what they wanted. The Netherlands and Spain will play for the championship today. Germany coach Joachim Loew, his voice still hoarse from the flu, said his team was going home “with a very good feeling. We achieved more than we perhaps expected.” Khedira’s header after the Uruguay defense failed to clear a corner

kick by Mesut Oezil ended Uruguay’s hopes of beating Germany for the first time in 82 years. “We had hoped for more, and we did everything for it,” Khedira said. “This was some kind of final and we did everything for it. We have a young team and set an exclamation mark here and can reach more.” Uruguay came from behind to lead 2-1 when Forlan brilliantly volleyed in Egidio Arevalo’s 51stminute cross for his fifth goal of the tournament. Germany defender

Marcell Jansen tied it five minutes later with a header after goalkeeper Fernando Muslera misjudged a cross. In the dying moments, on a rain-soaked pitch, Uruguay had one more opportunity. But Forlan, who has been especially dangerous on free kicks, hit the bar. “Obviously it’s something spectacular to be among the top four,” said Forlan. “If someone would’ve asked us at the beginning, we would’ve liked it. It’s something positive.”

Possession, possession, possession. The Dutch like to build their attack from the back, meaning the far back: goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg (1) often begins the buildup with passes to his defenders. Captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst (5) scored the first goal against Uruguay in the semifinals, but he’s rarely involved in the offense. Instead, the idea is to get the ball from the back line to creative midfielders Wesley Sneijder (10), Mark van Bommel (6), Rafael van der Vaart (23) and Nigel de Jong (8), who was suspended for the semifinal. They, in turn, probe defenses while allowing Arjen Robben (11), Robin van Persie (9) and Dirk Kuyt (7) to making darting runs outside and, often in the case of Van Persie, to the inside. Sneijder usually is the man in control of the ball and distributing it to the forwards. But Sneijder certainly can finish, and his five goals tie him for the World Cup lead. He’s also adept at free kicks, as is Robben. Watch for Robben to do everything he can to get the ball on his left foot in space, particularly at the edge of the penalty area. And watch the frenetic Kuyt, who pops up all over the attacking zone. The deep Dutch offense will test Spain’s outstanding defenders, forcing them to close down quickly as the Netherlands gets close to the 18-yard box. Outside halfbacks Joan Capdevila (11) and Sergio Ramos (15) will be very busy.

WHEN SPAIN HAS THE BALL Possession, possession ... you get the idea. No team in the world passes better than Spain. Its game is based on precision, and like the Dutch, the Spaniards often get keeper Iker Casillas (1) to initiate with passes to his defenders. But he’s also more likely to play a long goal kick toward midfielders Xavi (8), Xabi Alonso (14) and Andres Iniesta (6), or even to strikers David Villa (7) or Fernando Torres (9) if he starts. Torres has struggled to recover from knee surgery and barely played in the semifinal win over Germany. Villa is Spain’s best finisher, and is tied with Sneijder for top scorer in the tournament. His quick bursts get him into open areas, and he’s accurate with either foot. Villa also is a sparkplug, the most exciting performer on a squad filled with artistic players such as Xavi, Iniesta and Alonso. Spain’s only goal against Germany, despite dominating the match, came on a set piece, and Xavi is masterful on corner kicks and free kicks. Watch for the taller Spaniards such as defender Gerard Pique (3) and midfielder Sergio Busquets (16) in front of the net on corner kicks, although it was the shorter Carles Puyol (5) who powered in a header off Xavi’s corner kick for the winner in the semifinal. The Netherlands has been criticized for being slow on defense. If that’s true, Van Bronckhorst, Gregory van der Wiel (2), John Heitinga (3) and Joris Mathijsen (4) could be under siege.

GOALKEEPING Casillas is among the world’s best keepers and has been for years, earning him the nickname San Iker in Spain. He’s particularly masterful cutting down angles on shooters, and he made two huge saves late in the quarterfinal against Paraguay. As Spain’s captain, he obviously has leadership skills, and he’s among the most popular players on the team. This is his third World Cup. For Stekelenburg, it’s his first. He’s been a tad inconsistent and let in a shot by Diego Forlan against Uruguay that perhaps he should have stopped with his arms. But Forlan regularly scores on lots of keepers. Stekelenburg will be the tallest player on the field at 6-foot-4 1/2, and he might need every inch to handle the sharp shots the Spaniards can send his way. He is new to this level of competition and generally has handled himself well. He also has not faced an attack like this.

COACHING Bert van Marwijk’s biggest accomplishment might be meshing a variety of big names with various styles into a Clockwork Oranje. This is a more patient Dutch team than most, and it doesn’t panic and change its style of play when it falls behind. The most impressive performance thus far came when the Netherlands rallied to beat Brazil in the quarterfinals. The Dutch stuck to their game plan, a testament to how prepared van Marwijk has them. Vicente del Bosque has been considered something of a caretaker for Spain; Luis Aragones put together the squad that he guided to the 2008 European Championship. Del Bosque made a few adjustments when he replaced Aragones, particularly in the midfield, where he opted for Busquets’ more defensive style instead of Cesc Fabregras (10). Generally, he has stayed out of the way and let his group’s talent and on-field leadership carry it. Showing faith in his players even after a weak start to the tournament in a 1-0 loss to Switzerland was his best move.

INTANGIBLES Now is the time for both teams, whose key performers are in their primes. The Dutch have won zero World Cups. Spain has won the same number. So the incentive is massive to erase previous failings, particularly for the Netherlands, which lost the 1974 and ’78 finals to West Germany and Argentina. Spain has had an even more checkered soccer history, wasting just as much talent with weak showings at major events. The Netherlands likely will have more fan support at the final in Soccer City, which just happens to have orange seats for those who believe in omens.

Mets swim upstream vs. Braves, Hudson THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – Tim Hudson stood in front of his locker in the Atlanta Braves’ clubhouse Saturday, his feet bare as he buttoned up his shirt, and tried to argue that he didn’t have his best stuff against the New York Mets. Nobody was buying it. Hudson allowed four hits over seven innings before turning it over to one of the toughest bullpens in baseball, and the Braves beat New York 4-0 to move five games ahead of their NL East rival with one game left before the All-Star break. “I feel good about my start today,” Hudson said. “I didn’t feel great, but it was just one of those days where it bobbed and weaved.” Omar Infante, the Braves’ jack-of-all trades All-Star, had three hits and drove in a run after getting four hits in the series opener, while Hudson (9-4) helped himself with a pair of hits that included an RBI double during a four-run fifth inning. It all added up to Atlanta’s fourth straight win, and a chance to sweep the series today after losing three straight at Citi Field in late April. The Mets have lost backto-back series at home for the first time since their first two of the season against Florida and Washington. “They’re all important. The last one was important, the next one is important,” Braves manager Bobby Cox said. “It’s good to be in first place going into the break.” As if losing ground in the division wasn’t bad enough, the Mets also lost Jose Reyes after he made

a difficult fielding play in the seventh inning. The All-Star shortstop hurt himself ranging to his right to grab a grounder by Troy Glaus and making a long throw to first base. Reyes has been hampered by a sore right side that has prevented the switch-hitter from batting left-handed the last few games. “It’s been bothering me,” said Reyes, who will be replaced by the Dodgers’ Rafael Furcal at the All-Star game on Tuesday in Anaheim, Calif. The Braves got all their offense against Mike Pelfrey (10-4) in the fifth, chasing him with five straight singles to open the inning. Hudson’s two-out RBI double off Elmer Dessens made it 4-0, dooming the Mets to their third straight home loss for the first time this season. All 12 of Atlanta’s hits off Pelfrey in this one were singles.

CUBS 7, DODGERS 3 LOS ANGELES – Tom Gorzelanny won for the second time in three starts after spending almost all of last month in the bullpen, and the Cubs got home runs from Aramis Ramirez and Geovany Soto in a victory. Gorzelanny (4-5) allowed two runs – one earned – and six hits over six innings after being staked to an early 6-0 lead. The left-hander, demoted to the bullpen after his 85 loss to the Dodgers on May 26 at Wrigley Field, walked only one after issuing six walks over five innings last Monday at Arizona in a 9-4 victory. John Ely (4-7) threw 47 pitches over 21⁄3 innings in the shortest of his 14 bigleague starts, after lasting only 22⁄3 innings last Monday in a 6-5 loss at

games is eight, set June 17-25, 2000. Lind had three hits and Gonzalez added three RBIs for Toronto. Fred Lewis doubled twice, scored twice, stole two bases and drove in the goahead run. Shawn Camp (3-1) pitched 12⁄3 innings for the win and Kevin Gregg got four outs for his 20th save in 23 chances.

Grizzlies defeat HiToms

Reds lose history, then game PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Reds rookie Travis Wood took a perfect game into the ninth inning before giving up Carlos Ruiz’s leadoff double, and the Philadelphia Phillies stunned Cincinnati again by winning 1-0 on Jimmy Rollins’ RBI single in the 11th. Making his third big league start, Wood dominated Philadelphia’s injurydepleted lineup and matched zeros for nine innings with Phillies ace Roy Halladay, who threw a perfect game of his own May 29 in Florida. The 23-year-old left-hander was trying for the third perfecto in the majors this year — not to mention the one Detroit right-hander Armando Galarraga was denied because of a missed call at first base by umpire Jim Joyce. The only other time there have been two perfect games in one season was 1880.

THOMASVILLE – Gastonia struck for three early runs and went to a 4-2 victory over Thomasville on Saturday night at Finch Field. The Grizzlies reached HiToms starter Parker Thomas for three runs on seven hits and four walks in six innings. Thomas struck out four. Gastonia starter Demarius Johnson got the win after his six innings of work. He walked three and allowed five hits, but only two runs crossed the plate for Thomasville. Alex Yarbrough was a tough out for the HiToms on Saturday, coming up a home run short of hitting for the cycle. He had one RBI to go with his single, double and triple. Tyler Frederick also singled twice and had a walk in three trips to play. Thomasville fell to 12-25 overall and

2-7 in the second half of the Coastal Plain League season. The HiToms play host to Gastonia today at 5 p.m. at Finch Field as the team heads toward the CPL All-Star break next Monday and Tuesday. Thomasville visits Forest City on Monday and is idle Tuesday before welcoming Asheboro to Finch Field on Wednesday. The HiToms head to Petersburg on Thursday, welcome Gastonia on Friday and then take a trip to Martinsville on Saturday. The CPL All-Star Fan Fest and AllStar Game will be hosted by the Forest City Owls at McNair Field. The two-day event will feature a Fan Fest on the night before the All-Star Game, highlighted by a Home Run Derby. The annual All-Star luncheon and All-Star Game will take place the following day. There will be several opportunities for fans to interact with the players.

Stricker sets 54-hole PGA record at Deere Classic THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SILVIS, Ill. – Steve Stricker continued his sizzling play at the John Deere Classic on Saturday, pulling away from the field with a 9-under 62 for sixshot lead heading into the final round. Stricker’s mastery of the TPC Deere Run course left him at 25under 188 for the tournament, the best 54-hole score in PGA Tour history. With a 65 today, he’d break the 72-hole record of 254. So dominant was Stricker that Jeff Maggert shot a 63 and lost ground. Paul Goydos, golf’s latest Mr. 59 after a magical round Thursday, played well enough to keep pace in most tournaments, just not this one. It would be hard for anyone to keep up with Stricker the way he’s playing. The 43-year-old from Madison, Wis., hit accurate approaches to give himself short putts for birdies in most cases and he deftly extricated himself the only two times he got in trouble. As well as he played, Stricker’s round was just his second best of the tournament. He opened with a 60 and followed that with a 66. So just what’s going on here? “If I knew, I would bottle this,” Stricker said. “I don’t know what’s going on.” Maggert, who started the day five shots behind Stricker, was at 19-under 194 and tied with Goydos, who trailed Stricker by just one stroke going into the round.

Steve Stricker looks over his putt on the 16th green during the second round of the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill., on Friday. Stricker has dominated the event and leads by six shots. saw his deficit grow steadily as his partner drilled one birdie putt after another on the back nine. Former PGA Champion Shaun Micheel also shot a 63 – and found himself 10 strokes off the lead. Rocco Mediate made a hole-in-one and an eagle en route to a 64 but trailed by 14. Matt Jones wriggled into fourth place with a 66 that left him 16 under. “Stricker’s nine in front of me, so you’d have to have something miraculous happened to

him,” Jones said. “That’s not going to happen the way he’s playing, so my goal now is to play for second.” Still, Stricker remained wary. He had a six-stroke lead on the final day of the Northern Trust Open earlier this year and ended up winning by two. “This course yields low scores, so you gotta be cautious that somebody can come from behind and post a low one and catch you,” he said. “So that’s going to be my mindset – play my own game and try to make

‘Woodies’ land in Tennis Hall NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) – On an induction day that will be remembered for doubles players and a contrast of weather, a one-word nicknamed summed up the class – “Woodies.” Australia’s Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde headed a class of seven inductees into the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday. Woodbridge and Woodforde – known as the “Woodies” – were enshrined along with doubles partners Gigi Fernandez and Natasha Zvereva. “This is an amazing day for the Woodies,” Woodforde said. “I don’t know if any of us said we’re just going to be doubles players. We just excelled on the doubles court a little more than we did on the singles. As much as we would have loved to win more in the singles titles, we did in doubles.” Brad Parks, the pioneer of wheelchair tennis, was the Hall’s first wheelchair inductee. Owen Davidson also was enshrined in the Master player category along with Derek Hardwick, who was enshrined posthumously.

U.S. WOMEN’S OPEN OAKMONT, Pa. – Paula Creamer will take a three-shot lead over Wendy Ward into the final day of play at the U.S. Women’s Open. Creamer, considered the best LPGA golfer without a major title, is 1-under for the tournament through 13 holes of the weather-delayed third round. That round will be completed this morning. Four shots back is Suzann Pettersen, who has

four holes still to play plus the final round. Five back are 15-year-old Alexis Thompson, who has completed the third round, Amy Yang and Brittany Lang. Creamer, who recently returned from a four-month layoff following left thumb surgery, played all but two holes of her second-round 70 during the morning. It wouldn’t have been difficult envisioning Michelle Wie, Eun-Hee Ji and Se Ri Pak being grouped together near the top of the U.S. Women’s Open leaderboard not that long ago. Instead, none of the three top golfers was within a Pennsylvania Turnpike toll lane’s length of the lead as the second round concluded Saturday and the third round began. That turnpike, by the way, cuts directly through the middle of Oakmont Country Club. Wie needed 69 putts to get through her two rounds of 82-76-158, putting her 16-over during her worst performance in the event. She didn’t come close to reaching the cut line of 10-over 152. Wie led the U.S. Women’s Open after three rounds at age 15 in 2005 and tied for third a year later, but hasn’t made the cut since then. Asked to assess her latest U.S. Women’s Open, she said: “Complete fail.” Pak, the 1998 winner, also missed the cut after going 7778-155. Ji, last year’s winner at Saucon Valley in eastern Pennsylvania, extended her seasonlong struggles with a remade swing by barely making the cut at 152.

Bosh made it happen for Heat

Orlando Magic guard J.J. Redick soars to the basket in a game last season against the Miami Heat.

Magic may fight for Redick THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After struggling early in his NBA career, J.J. Redick has steadily improved and become a key contributor for the Orlando Magic. Now they’ll have to pay the price to keep him. Magic general manager Otis Smith said Saturday he plans to take “the full seven days” to decide whether to match an offer sheet the Bulls made for Redick. The Bulls reportedly

signed Redick to a $19 million, three-year offer sheet. Because Redick is a restricted free agent, the Magic can match any offer for the guard within seven days. “We like J.J. He is a part of our team,” Smith said of the former Duke star. “We would like to keep him. I’m going to take the full seven days to think about it.” Smith said the offer was what he expected Redick to command. Redick made more than $3 million last year.

MIAMI (AP) – In Chris Bosh, the Miami Heat got a power forward and a power broker. Sure, Heat president Pat Riley pulled together the deal, Dwyane Wade had a county renamed in his honor and the anticipation of LeBron James’ decision turned into a drama unlike anything the NBA has likely ever seen. But the first domino that fell into place was Bosh – and if he went elsewhere, the other two stars almost surely would have as well. It went down like this: Bosh told Wade he wanted to play in Miami, which immediately convinced the 2006 NBA finals MVP to spurn Chicago’s offer and stay with the Heat. About 48 hours later, Wade got a call from James, telling him it’d be a South Beach three-for-all. However long Bosh stays with the Heat, he may never have a more significant assist. “I think it was more of a collective effort,” Bosh said. “I know these two guys. They have to make their own decisions. There was no point where we asked each other to, ’OK, we’re going to talk and we’re all going to go here.’ We have to play in the best positions for our families, for ourselves, and for our careers. “And Miami was the obvious choice.” Not until Bosh made up his mind, it wasn’t. Wade was absolutely torn by the decision between Chicago and Miami, so much so that he asked family members to write down their top choices – and that didn’t even break the tie between his hometown and the city where he’s starred for seven years. He told the Heat the only way he would stay put is if they landed Bosh or James. Bosh had a half-dozen offers, but

knew the only way he’d get to play with two superstars was by coming to Miami. So he took his leap of Heat faith. “When Chris told me that,” Wade said, “it all just came together. And then it was up to LeBron.” James eventually completed the trifecta – three of the top five choices from the 2003 draft – that will surely be the talk of the NBA for years to come. The possibilities are endless, already getting scrawled on the white boards in Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s office. Wade at shooting guard, James at small forward, Bosh at power forward. Each routinely sees double-teams, and that will continue. But unless the NBA starts allowing Miami opponents to play with at least six guys, then Wade, James and Bosh all can’t have two defenders draped around them at once. That’s where Bosh could flourish, those around him say. “When Chris was in high school, he didn’t even say he was the best player on his team,” said Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt, who had Bosh on his team for one year before the then-teenager jumped to the NBA. “And they went 40-0 and won a national championship. That’s who he is. It’s not about who gets credit for what.” Bosh might only seem like the ‘other guy’ in this Heat star cluster. No, he doesn’t have the MVP trophies like James and the championship ring like Wade. Make no mistake: He can play. In Miami, thanks to his decision, he’s got that long-awaited chance to finally play at the top. “We just have to take that chance,” Bosh said. “And we were not afraid to be great. So we’ve jumped in the water. Now it’s time to swim.”

Tour leader: Truth comes out today in the Alps LES ROUSSES, France (AP) – Sylvain Chavanel recaptured the Tour de France’s lead on Saturday by winning the hot and humid seventh stage as the main title contenders bided their time in anticipation of the upcoming Alpine climbs. Chavanel raised a fist in joy as he completed the 101-mile run from Tournus to Station des Rousses that featured six low- to mid-grade climbs, crossing in 4 hours, 22 minutes, 52 seconds. The Quick Step rider also won the second stage. The main title favorites finished 1:47 back, including 2009 winner Alberto Contador of Spain, who was 13th, and seven-time champion Lance

Armstrong in 16th place. Overall, Chavanel was leading two-time Tour runner-up Cadel Evans of Australia by 1:25. Canada’s Ryder Hesjedal was third, 1:32 back. “I had legs of fire today. ... These are the types of climb that suit me,” Chavanel said. “I’m going to savor it.” Several pre-race favorites, including Armstrong, said the stage’s climbs were deceptively tough and that the heat added to the agony. “Suffered, I think everybody did. It was just so incredibly hot and humid,” the 38-yearold Texan said. Switzerland’s Fabian Cancellara, who struggled in the final

climb and lagged a staggering 14:12 back, lost the yellow jersey to Chavanel. The Frenchman began the stage fifth, 1:01 behind Cancellara. They are the only two riders to have worn yellow this Tour: Cancellara won the prologue, Chavanel took the coveted shirt with a breakaway win Monday and then the Swiss time trial specialist recovered it a day later. A staffer from Chavanel’s QuickStep team squirted him with water to cool him down in the searing heat as he scaled solo the mid-grade Lamoura pass into the Les Rousses ski station, the last climb, baring his teeth as he pedaled.

Armstrong kept toward the front of the main group of contenders on the final ascent, with Contador shadowing him. It was a “tough day ...” Armstrong said. “A climb like this, which is 3 to 5 percent, is always hard. It’s high speed and it’s hard to (pull) away, and it’s hard to sit on the wheel. Not my favorite. I tried to stay up near the front (of the pack), to be honest.” None of the main contenders – including Evans or Bradley Wiggins of Britain, who was fourth last year – attempted to attack. After the stage, a downpour sent rain and marble-sized hail onto thousands of fans who

lined the route, and civil security teams escorted dozens of fans to shelter after their shuttle bus couldn’t get through a postrace traffic jam. Chavanel said the next stage could threaten his hold on the jersey. “The big names – Contador, Schleck, Evans – they’re going to express themselves tomorrow,” Chavanel said. “I’m going to work to limit the damage. I’m going to give it all I have.” The race enters the Alps today with a 117.4-mile jaunt that includes two very difficult climbs and features an uphill finish. “The truth will come out tomorrow,” Evans said.

Busch savors milestone win Toyotas swept the top five spots as Logano finished second, followed by Brian Scott, David Reutimann and Jason Leffler. Danica Patrick finished 24th, her first finish inside the top 30 in five Nationwide races this season. Patrick was two laps behind the leaders at the finish. “I definitely learned a lot,” Patrick said during a postrace TV interview. “It was really nice to run a clean race with no accidents, really, especially in the first part. It’s so tough when you spin at the beginning of the race. But we didn’t do that, so we just trucked along.” It was seventh Nationwide win of the season for Busch, who also won the Nationwide race at Chicagoland in 2008. Logano took the lead from Busch on a restart with 53 laps to go, and appeared to be cruising to victory when NASCAR officials issued a caution for debris with 15 laps left.

Nationwide driver Kyle Busch (18) holds the checkered flag after winning the Dollar General 300 at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., late Friday night. Busch moved into second place all-time in Nationwide Series victories. It’s safe to say Logano wasn’t surprised by – or thrilled with – the decision. “It’s almost like you can guarantee a caution’s going to come out,” Logano said. “You know it’s going to happen ... if you have more than a fivecar-length lead. You can almost promise that’s

Drivers brace for changes NASCAR NOTEBOOK: JOLIET, Ill. (AP) – Most drivers seemed resigned to the idea that NASCAR officials will make changes, perhaps even radical ones, to the format used to determine the stock car racing’s champion. Going into Saturday night’s race at Chicagoland Speedway, one star actually sounded enthusiastic. Well aware of skidding fan interest, Dale Earnhardt Jr. said he understands the need to spice up the sport – even if it scares some fans who liked things the way they were. “I think it’ll be awesome and exciting, and I kind of look forward to all the changes,” Earnhardt said. “I think that sort of extreme (step) is scary to the traditionalist, but it fits the world we live in today.” NASCAR chairman Brian France said recently that officials are considering changes to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format, although he didn’t offer specifics. France essentially ruled out what he called a “winner-takeall” scenario, but said he wants to find a way to produce more big moments that feel like a Game 7 in other sports. The idea of change is earning mixed reviews from drivers. “I’m not a big fan of change so they know where I stand on it,” current points leader Kevin Harvick said. Jimmie Johnson said he understands why officials are considering changes, but still bristles at some of the more wild potential scenarios mak-

ing their way around the garage: a system that would eliminate drivers as the Chase progressed, or even the possibility of a one-race playoff at the end of the season. “I know there is a crazy thought floating around about one race to determine the champion,” Johnson said. “And I think through the garage, driver or owner, it doesn’t matter who it is, everybody is thinking that’s a wild one and wouldn’t want to see it.” Jeff Burton wasn’t in favor of radical change either, but said he respects NASCAR’s right to make the rules. “If NASCAR came in here today and said, ‘The way we’re going to determine this is, whoever wins the last race of the year is the champion,’ I would think that’s insane,” Burton said. “But whoever won the last race would be the champion.”

GORDON ON LEBRON Count Jeff Gordon among those who consider themselves fans of NBA star LeBron James, but were a little put off by the way he handled his live-television free agency announcement on Thursday. “I think I learned what not to do,” Gordon said. “I’m a big fan of LeBron and I think it’s very cool that he’s going to Miami, but I don’t think the way they went about it is the best marketing idea in the world. You want to create hype, but you also want to be a positive and not a negative. I think I saw more, other than the thing that they did for the Boys and Girls Club, I saw more of it being a lit-

tle negative. I’m anxious to see how they do when the season starts.”

MOROSE MATT Despite going into Saturday night’s race ranked a respectable seventh in the points standings, Matt Kenseth sure sounded like a guy who just lost his lunch money. Roush Fenway Racing is mired in a slump, and Kenseth’s No. 17 team is feeling it. “I don’t feel like I’m a last-place driver, I don’t feel like we have a lastplace team,” Kenseth said. “And when you run like that, it wears on you after a while.” Kenseth hasn’t had a top-10 finish since Charlotte in May. “I know I’m probably cheering all you guys up today with my upbeat attitude, but it’s frustrating to go out at what I feel like is probably one of my best tracks, or our best tracks in the past, which is this place,” Kenseth said. “We were (37th) in the first practice and 40th in the second, and that’s as fast as I can go.”

CATCH CAN Dale Earnhardt Jr. knew his emotionally stirring Nationwide series win at Daytona in a No. 3 car would rile some of the conspiracy theorists who questioned the legitimacy of his July 2001 victory at Daytona. “I heard that stuff when we won in 2001, ‘It might have been a conspiracy, this, that and the other,”’ Earnhardt said. “This sport’s got too much to lose pulling tricks like that. I believe as far as on our end, everything we can do about it, it was pretty legit.”

Bobby Labonte eyes No. 600 at Brickyard ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Bobby Labonte will make his 600th consecutive start in NASCAR’s highest level in the Brickyard 400, a race Labonte won in 2000 on his way to a NASCAR Cup championship. Phoenix Racing team owner James Finch announced Saturday that Labonte will be back behind the wheel of the No. 09 Phoenix Construction Chevrolet at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 25. The 600th consecutive start would place him seventh on the all-time list. Ricky Rudd is No. 1 at 788. “I’ve got to thank James Finch and

Phoenix Racing for allowing me to get my 600th consecutive race with them at Indianapolis Motor Speedway,” Labonte said. “We had some discussion about future races at Daytona, and we were able to put a deal together for the Brickyard 400. I like working with the guys and appreciate this opportunity. “The Brickyard is such a memorable race,” Labonte added. “To be able to have this race as my 600th consecutive start is really cool. I didn’t sit down at the beginning of my career and plan any milestones, so this is pretty cool.” It will be Labonte’s third start for Phoenix Racing after racing for the team at both Daytona and Chicagoland.

going to happen. So, of course, that happened.” Logano and most of the leaders pitted, but Keselowski missed his pit – and for a while, it looked like it was going to help him, as he wound up leading the field back to a restart. “It was going to be great for us; it was going

to give us a second-place finish, maybe even better,” Keselowski said. Instead, he finished 21st, but still leads Carl Edwards by 227 points in the Nationwide standings. “Momma said there would be days like this,” Keselowski said. “I ran out of gas here last year

which broke my string of top-10 finishes and I’ll be dang if I didn’t do it again.” With Keselowski out of the way, Busch grabbed the lead less than a lap after the green flag fell, and the race came to an end with a six-car wreck back in the pack after he took the white flag.

Red Bull rules British GP qualifying Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso qualified in third, 0.8 seconds off the pace. “(The car) is just quick everywhere,” said Vettel, who won the European Grand Prix two weeks ago in Spain to go third in the championship. “We were very competitive in Valencia and also here. “Our car likes corners where you need downforce so that will always help us. Compared to last year, we have made a step forward all around.” Championship leader Lewis Hamilton was fourth.

SILVERSTONE, England (AP) – Sebastian Vettel claimed his fifth pole position of the season after edging out Red Bull teammate Mark Webber in qualifying for today’s British Grand Prix. Vettel, who won the Silverstone race last year from pole, posted a fastest time on Saturday of 1 minute, 29.615 seconds. The Red Bull drivers were rampant on a revamped circuit where Vettel and Webber delivered a one-two finish last season.

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) – Even Kyle Busch acknowledged that his landmark victory in Friday’s NASCAR Nationwide series race at Chicagoland Speedway probably wouldn’t have happened if not for Brad Keselowski’s costly mistake. With Joey Logano out front and an overtime restart looming, Keselowski ran out of gas just before the green flag fell. Busch was able to move closer to Logano, then pounced on the restart and held on for the win. “I don’t think I would have had a shot to win the race, because it was going to take too much to get alongside Joey had the restart gone with Keselowski in place,” Busch said. It was Busch’s 37th victory in NASCAR’s second-tier series, moving him into sole possession of second place in the series’ career wins list. Only Mark Martin has more, with 48.

Tour de France glance

LES ROUSSES, France (AP) — A brief look at Saturday’s seventh stage of the Tour de France: Stage: The race hit the mountains for the first time on a 101-mile trek featuring six lowto mid-grade climbs in the Jura mountains from Tournus to Station des Rousses. Winner: French rider Sylvain Chavanel took his second stage win of this Tour in 4 hours, 22 minutes, 52 seconds. Yellow Jersey: Chavanel’s win helped him take the overall lead from Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland, who plummeted to 58th place more than 13 minutes adrift. Chavanel led Cadel Evans of Australia by 1:25. Defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain was sixth, 2:26 back, and seven-time champion Lance Armstrong was 14th, 3:16 back.

Know the rules for f irst f ishing trips T

he cast went exactly as planned. It had to be a sidearm cast since there were overhanging limbs over the dead snag of a tree. Fish like structure and this was real structure on the edge of Oak Hollow Lake. Within seconds, the fish was on and the fight began. Fortunately, the fish headed away from the bank as soon as it felt the hook. The angler leaned back on the rod and said, “This one’s got some shoulders on him,� as the fish was worked to the gunnel of the boat. I leaned out and lifted the four-inch bluegill into the boat and my freckle-faced, 7-year-old grandson, Charlie, grinned from ear to ear. One of the great things about fishing is that bigger isn’t always better. We SPORTS all love to catch big fish, and Charlie has had his turn. I suspect his largest Dick so far, a Roanoke River striper, would Jones probably push five pounds, but he still ■■■had a ball on the Oak Hollow bluegills. Last Saturday, my son-in-law Jeff Jordan and I were guides and our clients were Parker (almost 4 years old) and Charlie. It was Parker’s first fishing trip. While we didn’t get a monetary tip when we got back to the docks, there certainly was a payoff. I hate to say it, but some of my earliest fishing trips weren’t all that pleasant. I loved my Uncle Bill, but he wasn’t the best guy to take a kid fishing in those days. I think it was because he liked to fish so much; he didn’t really have time for us kids and there were normally several of us. My love of fishing came a little later when Daddy and me would take the Rambler wagon over to Clyde Payne’s bottom and catch suckers out of the creek. I wrote a story a few years ago about a couple of the suckers I caught on a trip with Daddy, and Mama told me later that I’d really exaggerated on the size. Maybe I did, but I didn’t exaggerate on how great it was to go fishing man to man with my dad. Those first trips are often what creates a love of the outdoors, so it’s important to do a good job the first time you serve as your son or daughter (or grandson or granddaughter’s) fishing guide. Your chances of developing a lifetime fishing partner increase with the amount of effort you put into it. Here are a few tips to increase your chances of making a kid’s first trip a happy memory:

our spot. If we hadn’t caught a fish within three minutes, we would have moved somewhere else.

FORGET ABOUT YOU CATCHING FISH

DON’T WORRY IF THEY AREN’T BRAVE

When Jeff and I planned our trip, we knew it was only about Charlie and Parker having a good time. We only brought rods for them. We chose a place that was a short ride to the ramp and, once we were on the water, to the fishing. From experience with my older grandson, Phoenix, we knew a spot where there were always some sunfish and we went straight to

Kids are intimidated by worms and slimy fish. If they don’t want to bait up or touch the fish, don’t worry about it. That’ll come later. The first trips are about getting an idea of what it’s all about. You be the guide and handle the worms and fish. If they want to handle the fish, make sure they don’t handle it wrong and get stuck. For larger fish like stripers and catfish,

COMFORT IS IMPORTANT

It’s miserably hot sometimes in summer and last Saturday was no exception. We put on the water by 8:30 to keep it cool and allow us to find some shade. In winter, the comfort rule is just as important. Kids have to be fairly comfortable when they learn a new pleasure. Once they’re hooked, they can be tougher than a Marine scout sniper, but they have to have comfort until they’re hooked. If you’re fishing on a boat, it should be big enough for a kid to move around a little. You might be fine sitting on a deck seat for a whole morning, but most kids want to be able to move around.

MAKE THE TRIP AN ADVENTURE Kids like to add to the pleasure of an outing with food and drink, so we had snacks and cold drinks on the boat. If the fishing gets a little slow, take a juicebox break. With kids, there can be excitement in things you don’t even think about. I always let my grandsons steer the boat while we’re idling along. When the boat goes up on plane, make a big deal of it. If you’re not catching fish, wander around and show them interesting things around the lake.

KEEP THE TACKLE SIMPLE Kids aren’t generally interested in sophisticated fishing techniques. Bobbers and worms work fine. Spincast tackle is best until they display an interest in moving up. In the case of our trip, the guides did the casting because getting to the fish was a little tricky. Jeff and I would make the casts and pass the rod off to the boys immediately. If you’re fishing where the kids can do the casting, let them do it. Slip bobbers work best for this since they’re easy to manage and allow the kids to wind the line closer to the rod tip.

LET THEM PLAY A LITTLE Don’t forget that a lot of adult anglers enjoy playing with the equipment as much as they enjoy the fishing (this is why 80-mph bass boats are so popular). Maybe while they’re casting, you can fish a little and pass the rod off if you get a fish on. Most kids don’t have pride that keeps them from taking a hooked fish on a rod and claiming it.

JEFF JORDAN | SPECIAL

Charlie Jordan poses with Papa and a bluegill from Oak Hollow Lake with ‘some shoulders on it.’ I use a lip gripper. That way they can hold the fish for a picture without worrying about touching it. Speaking of that, make sure you take some photos.

MAKE IT FUN! The main word to keep in mind on a kid fishing trip is fun. If you can get them having fun, they’ll want to go again. It may take a few trips to develop an angler, but it’ll happen if they have fun. You just might be developing the best fishing partner of your life.

Mannings go about business amid Saints mania THIBODAUX, La. (AP) – Archie Manning has long wondered what it would be like to experience “the madness” that would envelop New Orleans if the Saints won a Super Bowl. In some ways, he’s still wondering. The patriarch of the so-called first family of football was not among the estimated 800,000 people to enjoy the Saints’ Mardi Gras-style victory parade last February. Manning and wife Olivia have sought to be happy for New Orleans, even as they hurt for their son Peyton, whose Indianapolis Colts lost to the Saints. “It’s just been a little awkward,” Archie Manning said Friday at his family’s annual football camp at Nicholls State, about 60 miles southwest of New Orleans. “I could never say that I got dealt any bad cards or anything like that. We’ve been blessed a million times. I’m really proud of the Saints and everything. I guess now I kind of almost wish the Colts hadn’t gotten to the Super Bowl. “Olivia and I kind of got cheated out of the madness,” he continued. “It’s been months of madness here and we’re really not part of that.” Every summer, Peyton and his younger brother, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, meet their father and oldest brother, Cooper, in New Orleans for a few days of family time before heading together to Thibodaux to host the Manning Passing Academy, now in its 15th year.

This year is a little different, though. Reminders of the Saints’ championship are everywhere in the form of flags, hanging banners, bumper stickers and caps worn by Who-Dats everywhere. “It’s good for the city of New Orleans, and I understand that,” Eli Manning said. “If it weren’t the Giants or the Colts, I guess I’d have it be New Orleans. ... They have the right to celebrate. It’s a fun time for them and the players – and they should enjoy it.” Peyton Manning seemed less interested in giving his take on what it’s like for him to come home to omnipresent reminders of the tough loss. “I don’t have a take on it,” he said tersely, before moving on to other matters, such as the family’s efforts to keep attention focused on efforts to restore the eroding and now oil stained Gulf coast. Before the camp opened this week, Peyton and Eli recorded a public service announcement for the group Women of the Storm, of which Olivia Manning is an original member. The group initially formed to lobby national lawmakers for help in the recovery from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, but now has widened its scope to include coastal restoration and the BP oil spill. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to everybody affected by the oil spill and unfortunately it’s not going to go away any time soon,” Peyton Manning said. “So

NOW OPEN

I think we’re kind of evaluating how we can make the biggest impact and help out.” The football camp itself became symbol of the Mannings’ commitment to the area after Katrina. The Mannings kept it in Thibodaux in 2006, less than a year after the devastating storm, when some of the campers were New Orleans residents whose homes and schools had been wiped out. This year, 1,060 quarterbacks and receivers attended the camp, along with host of college and pro players who served as counselors. Among them was Greg McElroy, quarterback of defending national champion Alabama, who said being around the Mannings was a thrill even for him. “You get to see not only their dedication to the game but to their communities,” McElroy said. “They find a way to give back and dedicate what they’ve done and what they’ve accomplished individually to the people around them. The fact they do give back as much as they do and try to help us individually really says a lot about their character.” McElroy said he’s enjoyed talking football with the Mannings, but has consciously avoided one topic. “I have not talked to them about the Super Bowl,” he said. “I imagine that’s somewhat of a sore subject for Peyton, but he handled it with tremendous class and I’m sure he’s happy for Drew Brees and all those guys.”

Bench and plaque at No. 1 women’s tee at High Point Country Club’s Willow Creek course memorialize Kathy Francois, an avid golfer who died of cancer in 2007.

Memorial fits golfer to a ‘tee’ Eagle Scout project remembers local woman who died of cancer BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Anyone who knew Kathy Francois knew how much she loved golf. She grew up in a golf family. She met her husband through golf – it was one of their favorite activities they shared – and when she was diagnosed with cancer, she still couldn’t give up the game. “She’d get her chemo treatment, and then the next day she’d go get fluids so she could play golf in the hot sun,” says Mike Francois, Kathy’s husband. “That’s how much she loved it.” It’s fitting, then, that a recently constructed memorial on the High Point Country Club’s Willow Creek course – at the No. 1 women’s tee – pays tribute to Francois, who died in November 2007 after a five-year battle against colorectal cancer. The memorial features a wooden bench surrounded by a small, mulched garden of azaleas, roses and irises, Kathy’s favorite flower. A

bronze plaque at the foot of the bench reads, “In Loving Memory of Kathy Francois – A Devoted Mother, Wife & Friend.” A quote Weis underneath the tribute states, “May this serve as a reminder of how your life has touched us all.” What the plaque doesn’t tell you is that the memorial was put there by 16-year-old Camden Weis, a member of Boy Scout Troop 4 at Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church. Weis installed the memorial as his Eagle Scout project. “I was brainstorming ideas with my dad (Matt Weis), and he mentioned a memorial for Kathy Francois, and I thought it sounded like a good idea,” the High Point teenager says. “I thought it would be a nice way to honor her.” It didn’t hurt that Weis, a rising sophomore at Ledford High School, plays golf himself – he made All-Conference at Ledford and is a regular at Willow Creek – so he liked the idea

Kathy Francois and her son, Griffin, are shown in this photo taken in May 2007, about six months before she died. of installing a memorial at the golf course. “Since she played with many of the current women golfers at this course, I thought it was necessary to build the memorial on the ladies’ tee so that every time they played there, they would feel her presence like they used to,” Weis wrote in a letter he sent out to raise funds for his project. His efforts raised more than $1,500 – more than twice the actual cost of the project – so the extra funds are being donated to a golf scholarship Kathy had established at Appalachian State University, her alma mater. According to Weis, Kathy’s life inspired all those who knew her. In the summer of 2002, she was pregnant with the couple’s only child – a son, Griffin – when she was diagnosed with

colorectal cancer. Rather than have an abortion, she waited until after Griffin was born – in February 2003 – to begin treatment. She fought the disease valiantly – while still allowing time for as many golf outings as possible – until her death three years ago, at the age of 49. Mike, a vice president in the High Point office of Senn Dunn Insurance, embraced the idea of a memorial for Kathy from the beginning. “I felt like it’s a great tribute to Kathy, and some day for Griffin to see what an impact his mom had, and the passion she had for something,” he says. “And what a terrific job (Weis) did. I went out there and sat on the bench and looked at the plaque, and it brought back a lot of great memories.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Dear Vigilant: Ask yourself whether you would want to be warned about your minor child’s drinking and sexual exploits or be kept in the dark, and you’ll have your answer. Dear Abby: My 5-year-old, “Miles,� is passive, kind and a genuinely sweet kid. He has made friends with some neighborhood kids who are his age or a few years older. While watching them play I have

noticed a few of the more aggressive boys tackle, push or kick him and – at one point – even punch him. Afterward I asked Miles why he didn’t stick up for himself. He said he didn’t ADVICE want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Dear Obviously, I don’t Abby want my son engaging ■■■in fighting or resorting to violence. However, I am torn as to whether I should intervene. I have talked to Miles about how friends should treat each other. With that in mind, he ought to be able to say “stop� when someone gets too rough. Should I step in to correct the other child? Should I speak to the other parents? Or do I allow my son to work it out on his own? – Helicopter Mom Dear Mom: If you step in and “correct� the other boys, it will make your son appear weak.

your child. If Miles were my son, I would sign him up for activities where he will be part of a team. It will give him self-confidence, help to improve his athletic skills, make him more physically fit and introduce him to children in addition to this particular group. Dear Abby: I was widowed a year ago and joined a support group for widows and widowers. (I am 50 years young.) Through this group I met a gentleman, “Robert,� who lost his wife two years ago. We became friends and have since fallen in love. I would like to think we have a future together. Recently, I have been feeling guilty about our relationship, as if I’m “cheating� on my late husband, and I’m wondering if this is normal. Should I keep these feelings to myself or discuss them with Robert? Should I go to counseling? Perhaps the one-year anniversary of my husband’s death has brought out these feelings. I’m remembering our last days together and feeling guilty about having started a new relation-

ship. I don’t want to hurt Robert or push him away by bringing this up if this is a normal phase most widows go through. – Starting Over In Virginia Beach, Va. Dear Starting Over: If you are not completely over the death of your husband, then your feelings of guilt are understandable. When they occur, please remind yourself that you lived up to your wedding pledge “until death do you part.� Because you and Robert are part of a support group, this is a subject it might be helpful to raise with the other members. As to discussing it with Robert, I recommend that you do. Far from pushing you apart, it may bring you closer. And if your feelings of guilt persist, by all means discuss them with a counselor because you have every right to be happy.

Allow about a month to recover from mono D

ear Dr. Donohue: My son is home from his first year at college. He was supposed to start work three weeks ago, but he got sick with a fever and sore throat. I insisted he see a doctor. The doctor tested him for mono, and he has it. He’s not taking any medicine. Should he be? How long does recovery take? Will he be able to work this summer? – R.K. Infectious mononucleosis – mono for short – has three distinctive signs: fever, sore throat and swollen lymph nodes, particularly nodes in the neck. Mono also takes away a person’s energy. A blood test shows an increase of lymphocytes, one of the white blood cells, and the mono blood test is positive. From four to six weeks before the onset of signs is the time when the virus was transferred. It’s transmitted through the passage of saliva from a person with the virus to one who has had no experience with it. Transmission doesn’t always involve a person who is sick. The virus is still present in saliva for as long as six months after the illness has gone. Mono has two peak ages for infection. One is in early childhood, and, peculiarly, young children are not very sick when they acquire the infection. The other peak is late adolescence. That’s the age when signs and symptoms are most dramatic. In addition to sore throat, fever

Titanic items coming to Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – More than 240 artifacts recovered from Titanic’s wreckage will be included in an exhibit opening at the Indiana State Museum this fall. Officials announced Tuesday that “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition� will open Sept. 25 and remain on display through January. Seven versions of the Titanic exhibit are traveling the world. Tickets for the 7,000square-foot exhibit at the museum in Indianapolis will cost $17 and go on sale Aug. 1.

and large lymph nodes, an infected person frequently complains of headaches, sometimes develops a rash that looks like measles and HEALTH often experiences enlargement of the Dr. Paul liver and spleen. Donohue No medicine puts ■■■an end to mono. Medicines that make a patient more comfortable are prescribed. The illness runs its course in two to four weeks. Rupture of the spleen is mentioned in a discussion of mono. It happens, but rarely. Your son can be active when he feels he can handle activity. That’s usually in three or four weeks. Contact sports are discouraged until the spleen returns to normal size, and that takes place by four weeks. Dear Dr. Donohue: My 17year-old daughter has gotten into the habit of washing her hands constantly. She spends an enormous amount of time in the bathroom doing this. I’ve talked to her about this and have told her it’s not normal. Still, she persists. Is this something she is likely to outgrow? – B.W. Your daughter has obsessivecompulsive disorder.

treatment. She’s not likely to outgrow it. An obsession is a threatening or disturbing idea that intrudes into a person’s thoughts. A compulsion is a ritual used to combat the obsession and the anxiety it brings. Hand-washing is a frequent compulsion. Your daughter needs the help of a mental-health professional. The family doctor can recommend one. Dear Dr. Donohue: Quite often, when nodding off to sleep, my body jerks. It lasts only a second or so, and then I fall asleep. Does it have any meaning? – R.C. That’s a hypnic jerk. It has no health significance. Too much caffeine, too much stress or profound fatigue sometimes brings it on. Most of the time, no link to anything serious can be found. If the jerks become numerous, last for a more prolonged period of time or leave you feeling groggy or dazed, you should see a doctor. Otherwise, you can forget about them. You won’t find “hypnic� in your dictionary. It means “sleeprelated.� DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

ear Abby: I have just learned that a friend’s 16-year- old daughter has two different Facebook profiles. One is a “nice� profile to which she has invited me, her family and friends from her days at a Christian academy. The other, which is pretty raw, she uses with her “wild� friends from public high school. The first profile portrays her as the perfect student and daughter. The other includes explicit details about her sexual exploits and drinking parties. Should I keep my nose out of it or let her parents know about the dual identities? – Vigilant in Everett, Wash.

Reader says medicine drops caused dog’s seizure D

ear Dr. Fox: I used flea-medicine drops on our little dog, Minnie Pearl, last December. I applied them at about 5 p.m., and by 11 p.m. that night, she had a severe seizure – I thought I had lost her. I had to work with her and the veterinarian for three months to get her back to normal. To see her go through all of this was horrible, and I have no doubt that the drops (manufactured by Hartz) caused the problem. I stopped applying the drops, and she hasn’t had a seizure since. I hope no one else has to go through this. – L.H., Springfield, Mo. Dear L.H.: You are one of many pet owners whose dog or cat has had a severe and sometimes fatal reaction to anti-flea drops/spot-on chemicals. If you have a computer, report your experiences to www. biospotvictims.org. The foot-dragging of federal and state regulators to do anything substantive to address the entire matter of over-the-counter anti-flea and anti-parasite drugs that harm thousands of animals annually is deplorable. It shows the power of business interests. My advice is to only get such products as a last resort when safe methods of integrated flea control break down, and then only from a veterinarian who is more likely than not selling safer products and

ANIMAL DOCTOR

will provide strict instructions to follow. Never buy over-thecounter medications, pesticides or worming medicines – you may save some money but lose your animal companion.

Dear Dr. Fox: I have a 6-year-old Portuguese water dog, Gingee. She loves the â– â– â– beach: In winters, we are in Florida, where the only beach available is a dog beach crowded with other dogs and not very clean. This year, after a trip to the dog beach, she developed a cough that the vet diagnosed as kennel cough and gave her a prescription for antibiotics to clear it up. When the cough did not lessen, we took her back, and the vet took an X-ray of her chest that indicated bronchitis and pneumonia. Thereafter, she was on ciprofloxacin twice a day and amoxicillin once a day for almost two months. The cough slowly disappeared, but now she has an extraordinary amount of mucus that she emits by sneezing. We took her to the vet again, and the X-ray indicated the bronchitis was still in her lungs, but the pneumonia was gone. He said to stop the medication and see what happens. Dr. Michael Fox

Since then, the phlegm or mucus seems to get caught in her throat, and she has a hard time coughing it up. Sneezing seems to be the only way she can get rid of it. She does not act sick insofar as her appetite is good, and she does not seem overly lethargic. My husband is sure it is allergies, a common pet problem here in Florida. What should we do? – J.P.G., Bonita Springs, Fla. Dear J.P.G.: Your dog could well be suffering from a combination of allergies and bacterial infection. There are various herbs and supplements that have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and expectorant- and mucus-eliminating (mucolytic) effects and that help alleviate coughing spasms. Some of these can be inhaled via aerosol dispenser. See www.aromadog.com for some potentially beneficial products. Supplements and herbs to try orally include local honey (an excellent expectorant), n-acetylcysteine, ginger, licorice, marshmallow, mullein, thyme, oregano, vitamin C with bioflavonoids and coenzyme Q10. Some herbal preparations are available in tincture form. More veterinarians are including these kinds of medicinal products in their treatment protocols, owing to books such as “Integrating Complementary Medicine into Veterinary Practice� (Wiley-Blackwell, 2008).

Supermodel Doutzen Kroes is making her own mold BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP FASHION WRITER

NEW YORK – Doutzen Kroes might not fit the mold of a top model. She’s a jeans-and-T-shirt girl. She likes – and eats – bread. She wasn’t discovered in a remote place by a famous scout or photographer. And at 25, she has curves that have kept her off a lot of high fashion runways. But somehow, none of that matters. Kroes ranked No. 5 this year on the Forbes list of top-earning models. She’s most recognized as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, the brand’s top tier of models, a spokeswoman for L’Oreal and the former face of Calvin Klein Eternity. “My life has always been like I’m in a bubble and it’s floating and it goes in the right direction,� Kroes says. “I don’t want to interrupt it.� It was Kroes, a Dutch native, who got the ball – or bubble – rolling. As a teenager, she saw a magazine photo of a model and she thought to herself, “She

Kroes

has beautiful hair, beautiful makeup, a beautiful dress, and I thought I’d like to look like that

one day.� Her sister took photos and Kroes sent them off to a modeling agency in Amsterdam, a place she rarely visited as a self-described “country girl.� Kroes’ passion until then had been competitive speed skating. Other than her sister, no one knew about her new high-fashion ambition. “I didn’t tell anybody that I sent the pictures because I’d be embarrassed if I didn’t get the job,� she says. Apparently she didn’t need to worry with her long blond hair, blue eyes and Brigitte Bardot look. She relocated to New York within a year. Kroes has a “modern style,� describes L’Oreal’s international general manager Vianney Derville, who also says the model is

“blessed with an excellent sense of professionalism and a natural elegance.� On most days, you’ll still find her in jeans, T-shirt and flat shoes, but she likes stepping it up for a night out. At the Costume Institute Gala Benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in May, Kroes was the date of designer Zac Posen, wearing a princessworthy blue gown that they collaborated on. For the Cannes Film Festival a few days later, she wore a glamorous Grecian-style gown with a plunging neckline by Roberto Cavalli. Kroes is outspoken about her feminine, curvy figure and how it’s cost her jobs. She was a panelist for the CFDA’s round-table discussion about too-skinny models and says she hasn’t done as much runway work as she’d like because she doesn’t always fit the sample size. “I have to work really hard. My body – I have a voluptuous body. I am not one of those skinny girls. I like to enjoy life,� she says.

To Europe and back Family of six visits five countries, learns valuable lessons BY NANCY NUSSBAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

P

ARIS – It was a family vacation that required more preparation and planning than any other trip my husband and I had ever taken: 16 days, five countries, and four kids, ages 22, 19, 13 and 8. The six of us visited Luxembourg, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We mostly rode trains, including one overnight trip, and we stayed in hotels and apartments. It was the first time any of us, minus our oldest, had visited Europe, so family and friends offered valuable advice, hoping we’d enjoy the same experiences they’d had and avoid making their mistakes. We learned our own lessons as well, since no one we knew had traveled with six, and only one family we knew had taken children along. We aren’t calling our vacation the “trip of a lifetime,� because we certainly will go back again. But we did learn a few practical things about how to travel. Here are eight tips for a family vacation in Europe – four things we’d do again, and four we’d do differently, based on our experiences.

FOUR THINGS WE WOULD DO AGAIN • Pack light. Early on I had made a rule, which I secretly doubted we could follow. Everyone would bring only carryon luggage, a quality backpack that did not have to be checked. Having minimal luggage made switching trains less hassle and also made everyone responsible for their own stuff. Another benefit was that my husband and I always had a free hand to hold onto our 8-year-old when making those train switches. We also thought we might be less of a target for thieves because we didn’t have to set our luggage down while checking the details of our next train ride.

Everyone brought just five or six shirts and several pairs of pants. You can always hand-wash or do a laundry if you need to. With six of us, there were more than enough people to carry 3-ounce bottles of shampoo and other toiletries through the airport security. If we needed anything more, the experience of shopping at foreign markets was part of the adventure. When our flight arrived about 40 minutes early in Zurich, Swit-

We aren’t calling our vacation the ‘trip of a lifetime,’ because we certainly will go back again. But we did learn a few practical things about how to travel. Nancy Nussbaum Associated Press writer zerland, we had four minutes to catch a train to Luxembourg City that cut our travel time from five hours to three. We did it, but checked luggage would have prevented this. • Bring walking shoes, not sneakers. We all were thankful for our “adventure shoesâ€? with Vibram or Vibram-type soles when climbing rain-slicked hills and mountains to see sites such as King Ludwig II’s Neuschwanstein castle near Fussen, Germany, and the Hohensalzburg Fortress in Salzburg, Austria. And of course we walked miles daily in addition. The adventure shoes provided the traction and support needed for exploring. Despite their less-thanstylish appearance to my 13-year-old, they were much more comfortable

and practical than tennis shoes. She wore them every day. • Rent apartments. Many hotels in Europe did not have family rooms or quads available, and we had trouble even finding hotels with three doubles to book. But apartments were the perfect alternative. In Paris, we rented an apartment for five nights, and in Munich, we rented another for six nights. The Paris apartment cost slightly less than hotels, and it was just a half-block from Notre Dame Cathedral, in the heart of the city. We had the convenience of a kitchen for breakfast and a few other meals, while also being able to regroup around the table each night. Our apartment in Munich, which accommodated eight, was even larger than we needed and provided the same conveniences. It also was near the train station, where all of our tours departed, and was within walking distance of most major sights. To connect with apartment owners and preview our lodgings, we used two of the many online vacation rental sites: Paris Attitude, www.parisattitude.com/ and HomeAway, www. homeaway.com/. • Arrive early for train travel. We arrived 20-30 minutes before our departure times to make sure we could sit together. Trains with the most direct routes were especially likely to be crowded. We took our seats early as well for the TGV or high-speed train from Metz, France, to Paris, even though we had reservations. We were thankful we had after another traveler showed us the same ticket for one of our seats; apparently the train had been double-booked.

FOUR THINGS WE’D DO DIFFERENTLY NEXT TIME • Trust train-station storage for those back-

In Luxembourg City, our first stop, my husband and I weren’t completely comfortable locking up our packs in storage because the building was separate from the station. After checking out of our hotel, we had four hours before our train left for France. The six of us walked around the city with our packs, preventing all of us from checking out a store together or sitting down at a cafe in the shopping area because we were so bulky. But in Munich, when we arrived about five hours before we could drop off our packs at our apartment, we stored our luggage at the train station. It gave us more flexibility and our children thanked us.

• Ask for children’s portions at restaurants. A number of restaurants offered children’s portions or even a children’s menu, even though the regular menu never indicated such. We learned to ask in part because waiters often were reluctant to take my 8-year-old’s plate if any food was left, even when it was clear she and the rest of us were done eating. • Carry small bills and enough cash to cover a meal. We used ATMs throughout Europe to get cash frequently in increments of 70 or 100 euros. We often received 50 euro bills, which some merchants would not accept unless our bill was close to that amount. Also, some restaurants do not accept Visa or MasterCard. At a restau-

rant in Berchtesgaden, Germany, we were caught off-guard when we were told that credit cards were not accepted. We covered the bill for our meal by dipping into our 8-year-old’s birthdaypresent euros in my bag. We later repaid her. • Stick to traditionalsized postcards for writing home. We had sent e-mails updating family on our travels, but my children wanted to send postcards to a few friends and their grandparents, mainly because the large cutout postcards of beer and pretzels at the Hofbrauhaus were so fun. The larger postcards cost 6 euro, or nearly $8, to mail in Munich, while regular postcards cost 1 euro. We spent 20 euros – $25 – mailing five postcards.

Girls with ADHD may not be hyperactive Q

uestion: My daughter has some of the symptoms commonly associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but she is a very quiet child. Are some ADHD kids withdrawn and sedate? Dr. Dobson: Yes. ADHD is not always associated with hyperactivity, especially in girls. Some of them are “dreamy� and detached. Regrettably, they are sometimes called “airheads� or “space cadets.� Such a child can sit looking at a book for forty-five minutes without reading a word. One teacher told me about a girl in her class who would lose every article of clothing that wasn’t hooked to her body. Nearly every day, the teacher would send this child back to the playground to retrieve her sweater or coat, only to have her return fifteen minutes later without it. She had forgotten what she went after. A boy or girl with that kind of distractibility would find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get home night after night with books and assignments written down, and then to complete the work and return it in the next morning. Frankly, the “faraway� child worries me more than the one who is excessively active. She may be seen as a good little girl who just isn’t very bright, while the troublemaker is more likely to get the help he needs. He’s too irritating to ignore.

Those who are and are not hyperactive have one characteristic in common. It FOCUS is distractibility. Even ON THE though FAMILY they flit from one Dr. James thing to Dobson another, ■■■the name attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is not quite on target. It’s better than the old term (“minimal brain damage�), but there is also misinformation in the current designation. The problem is not that these children have a short attention span. At times, they can become lost in something that greatly interests them to the point that they aren’t aware of anything going on around them. Instead, they have an insatiable need for mental stimulation during every waking moment. The moment they become bored with what they are doing, they dash off in search of the next exciting possibility. One father told me about his four-year-old son with ADHD. He said, “If you let that kid get bored, you deserve what he’s going to do to you.� That applies to millions of children. Question: What are the special needs of a compliant kid – one that goes along to get along? Does he have any special needs? Dr. Dobson: That’s a

without, there’s a tendency to pick the one who won’t complain as loudly. Under these circumstances, the compliant boy or girl comes out on the short end of the stick. The consequences of such inequity should be obvious. The responsible child often becomes angry over time. He has a sense of powerlessness and resentment that simmers below the

great question, and the answer is yes. When one child is a stick of dynamite and the other is an all-star sweetheart, the cooperative, gentle individual can easily be taken for granted. If there’s an unpleasant job to be done, he may be expected to do it because Mom and Dad just don’t have the energy to fight with the tiger. When it is necessary for one child to sacrifice or do

Q

I have never worked but my spouse has. What will my benefits be? A. You can be entitled to as much as one-half of your spouse’s benefit amount when you reach full retirement age. If you want to get Social Security retirement benefits before you reach full retirement age, the amount of your benefit is reduced. The amount of reduction depends on when you will reach full retirement age. For example, if you file at age 62, and your full retirement age is 65, you can get 37.5 percent of your spouse’s unreduced benefit; if your full retirement age is 66, you can get 35 percent of your spouse’s unreduced benefit; if your full retirement age is 67, you can get 32.5 percent of your spouse’s unreduced benefit. The amount of your benefit increases if your entitlement begins at a later age, up to the maximum of 50 percent at full retirement age. If your full retirement age is other than those shown here, the amount of your benefit will fall between 32.5 percent and 37 percent at age 62. However, if you are taking care of a child who is under age 16 or who gets Social Security disability benefits on your spouse’s record, you get the full spouse’s benefits, regardless of your age. Learn more about retirement benefits at www.social security.gov/retirement.

Q. Can I receive Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits at the same time? A. You may be able to receive SSI in addition to

A. We count real estate, bank accounts, cash, stocks, and bonds toward the resource limits on what you can own. You may be able to get SSI if your resources are worth no more than $2,000. A couple may be able to get SSI if they have resources worth no more than $3,000. Keep in mind that we usually don’t count the house you live in, personal items such as furniture and clothing, or the car you drive. If you own valuable property you are trying to sell, you may be able to get SSI while trying to sell it. You can find out more about SSI by going to www.socialsecurity. gov and selecting the “Supplemental Security Income� banner at the top of the page.

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour gives reporters a status update on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in Jackson, Miss. In the past Barbour has served as a national leader strategizing on how Republicans can make gains in congressional and gubernatorial elections.

Defining the terms Democrats resist GOP bid to nationalize midterm election BY CHARLES BABINGTON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

WASHINGTON — Democrats and Republicans are framing the elections in starkly different terms, with GOP strategists painting it as a national referendum on President Barack Obama and the party in power, and Democrats working feverishly to make all politics local. The outcome will help determine whether Republicans take control of the House, the Senate

‘It’s important to engage voters directly and personally, early on, and not just trying to call them up at the last minute.’ Rep. Chris Van Hollen D-Md. or both. It also may profoundly affect Obama’s agenda for the next two years. Republicans have every reason to try to nationalize the Nov. 2 election, when voters will fill all 435 House seats, 36 Senate seats and 37 governorships. Democrats succeeded in the elections of 2006 and 2008 by focusing on President George W. Bush’s tenure, Republicans’ performance in Congress and the Iraq war; the GOP hopes to turn the tables now. Polls show significant discontent with policies linked to Obama and congressional Democrats, including rising deficits and bank bailouts. The latest AP-GfK sur-

vey found that 60 percent of those questioned think the nation is heading in the wrong direction, and 73 percent disapprove of the Democratic-led Congress. Polls also show significantly higher energy and enthusiasm among conservative voters than liberals. GOP strategists believe they can sustain this wave and ride it to victory if they can focus voters’ attention on overarching complaints against Obama and Democratic lawmakers: government overreach, big spending, Washington intrusion. “It’s going to be a national election,” said Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas, head of the Republican committee overseeing House races. He said Republicans will run on broad themes, such as arguing that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s agenda for health care, energy and labor unions is destroying jobs. Even if Pelosi, D-Calif., isn’t well-known to some voters, Sessions said, “I think they’re aware that America is under one-party rule.” Democrats are pushing a very different narrative. The election will be “a choice between two candidates in every congressional district,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the Democrats’ counterpart to Sessions. Van Hollen pointed to the May 18 special House election in Pennsylvania, where Democrat Mark Critz surprised pundits by easily defeating Republican Tim Burns. Republicans “made the election all about Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi,” Van Hollen said, while Critz stuck to bread-andbutter issues such as job creation and his deep familiarity with the district. Republicans, stung by the loss, note that Critz rejected Obama’s health care and energy initiatives, which most congressional Democrats supported and must defend this fall. Nonetheless, Democrats see the Critz victory as a blueprint for Election Day. They praise his campaign for reaching out to voters early to learn of their concerns, which shaped follow-up literature and calls.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., speaks in Silver Spring, Md. Democrats and Republicans are framing the elections in starkly different terms, with GOP strategists painting it as a national referendum on President Barack Obama and the party in power, and Democrats working feverishly to make all politics local. Democratic officials say they are recruiting thousands of volunteers nationwide for an unusually early and aggressive voter-targeting effort. If local supporters talk to undecided voters about local candidates and concerns, these Democrats say, it can take the edge off Republicans’ bid to nationalize the election and focus on Washington. Of course, Democratic candidates can’t avoid the national issues that agitate many voters, such as health care and deficit spending. But they have a better chance to make their case, Van Hollen said, if voters see the nominee as a local person with community ties. “It’s important to engage voters directly and personally, early on, and not just trying to call them up at the last minute,” Van Hollen said. That’s what freshman Rep. Tom Perriello, D-Va., is trying to do in his tough re-election campaign. His votes for Obama’s health care bill and cap-and-trade carbon-reduction bill make him a White House favorite, and a top GOP target. Perriello’s latest TV ad mirrors Van Hollen’s philosophy: Make a personal, even folksy appeal to voters, and focus on job creation

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

rather than sensitive issues such health care. Perriello mentions “jobs” six times in a humorous 30-second spot that shows him stepping in cow manure and spilling coffee on himself as he promotes new jobs on dairy farms, construction sites, police departments and elsewhere. His Republican challenger, Robert Hurt, is following his own party’s advice to nationalize the election. His campaign Web site warns that “Pelosi & Co. and their wealthy liberal supporters around the country are pouring money into Perriello’s campaign coffers.” Curiously, Democrats and Republicans alike seem to be treating Obama warily, at least for now. Sessions, the House GOP campaign chief, focused his criticisms not on the president but on Pelosi, as have several other Republican candidates. Obama’s personal approval ratings hover at about 50 percent, while his ratings for handling key issues tend to be lower. Many Democrats seem inclined to hand Obama a rather narrow mission: wooing the millions of young and minority voters who rallied to his side in 2008 but who may skip the less-exciting 2010 midterm elections.

Science is confirming something successful politicians seem to know instinctively — support your local football team. The success of major college teams in the two weeks before an election can have a measurable impact on how well incumbent politicians do at the polls, researchers report in Tuesday’s edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “Events that government had nothing to do with, but that affect voters’ sense of well-being, can affect the decisions that they make on election day,” the researchers said. That’s why incumbent politicians try to score some good news just before elections, and their opponents try to block that effort. The new study looked at elections for president, governor and senate between 1964 and 2008 and compared them to football results for 62 major college teams. The researchers found that wins in the two weeks before an election boosted the vote share of incumbents in the county where a school is located by 1.05 to 1.47 percentage points — enough to make a difference in a close race. And for teams they termed “powerhouses” the impact was even greater.

AP

A man walks amidst rubble and earthquake damaged buildings in downtown Portau-Prince, Haiti. A reader-submitted question about why so little has changed in Haiti since right after the quake struck is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Questions involve Israel-Turkey relations, conditions in Haiti THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

An enormous amount of money has been sent to Haiti to help the country recover from its devastating earthquake. So why has so little changed in Haiti – from piles of rubble to tent cities – since right after the quake struck? That’s one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question. You can also tweet your questions to AP, using the AskAP hashtag. Ask AP can also be found on AP Mobile, a multimedia news service available on Internetenabled cell phones. Go to http://www.apnews. com/ to learn more. Q. What’s the status of relations between Turkey and Israel? Karzan Omer Ali Slemani, Iraq A. Relations between Turkey and Israel are at their lowest point since the two countries embarked on a policy of strategic cooperation after the first Israeli-Palestinian accord in 1993. Israel’s good ties with Turkey eased the Jewish state’s isolation in a region overwhelmingly hostile to its presence. Ankara benefited from a strong defense alliance with Israel’s powerful, high-tech military and an influx of Israeli tourists. But ties began fray-

ing after Recep Tayyip Erdogan, leader of an Islamic-oriented party, became Turkey’s prime minister in 2003. The situation quickly deteriorated after Israel’s winter 2008-09 war in the Gaza Strip. Erdogan criticized the steep Palestinian death toll, and memorably stormed off a stage with Israeli President Shimon Peres at the Davos World Economic Forum days after the fighting ended. Relations suffered another blow after Israeli naval commandos raided a Turkish ship that sought to bust Israel’s blockade of Gaza in May, killing nine activists. Israel says its troops acted in self-defense. But after the raid, Turkey withdrew its ambassador to Israel, canceled joint military drills and began banning Israeli military aircraft from Turkish airspace. Turkey is committed to binding contracts with Israeli companies, but further business is in doubt. Josef Federman AP News Editor Jerusalem Q. I have heard reports from people on the ground in Port-au-Prince that the rubble remains on the ground from the earthquake, tent cities have grown, residents are making housing inside dilapidated buildings, garbage is piled on the streets and the only buildings being built are of government interest. My question: Where did the charity funds go to rebuild Haiti for the

people of Haiti? Angela Lewis, Avon Park, Fla. A. It’s true: Port-auPrince looks much like it did in February, other than the fact it’s now raining every day. Of some 20 million cubic yards of rubble left by the disaster, less than 2 percent has been cleared. Serious reconstruction has not started. Meanwhile, more people than ever are living under tarps and in tents: 1.6 million and counting. Some who didn’t lose their homes can no longer afford rent or are following foreign aid to the camps. And the tarps are falling apart. It’s easy to look at all this and ask where the money went. The answer isn’t so simple. A lot of secondary crises that could have happened didn’t, or haven’t yet, like disease outbreaks, flooding catastrophes or famine – and some of that can be traced to the aid effort. And the Haitian government, which was severely compromised in the quake and not so capable before, says the slow pace of reconstruction is important for preventing corruption and planning a sustainable city. But it’s also reasonable to ask why more hasn’t improved. Presidential elections and hurricanes are both potentially on the way. Once the distraction of the World Cup is over, we may find out just how much frustration the grinding recovery has left behind. Jonathan M. Katz AP Correspondent Port-au-Prince, Haiti Have questions of your own? Send them to newsquestions(at)ap.org.

‘Kiss the Cow’ benefits nonprofit BY BETHANY FULLER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

STATESVILLE – Three pairs of lips puckered up for a very unusual kiss at the Statesville Owls baseball game on Monday night. By the seventh inning stretch, Habitat for Humanity of Iredell County had pulled together $1,013 thanks to its “Kissing the Cow” contest during the Owls game against the Tennessee Tornados. The contestants, includ-

ing Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Bill Hamby, stood next to the stadium entrance, trying to get people to put money into the bags of Habitat Executive Director Scott Loudermelt or Habitat Board of Directors President Mary Katherine Harbin. Harbin said her strategy was to make sure that Hamby ended up kissing the cow. Fellow contestant, Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce President David Bradley, and his wife Dawn had even

talked about passing one of the gift bags around church-offering-style to solicit donations. While the night was all in fun, the cause it benefitted was truly important. The need for housing in the Statesville community is greater than ever, said Loudermelt. Loudermelt said he thought the entire evening was wonderful. He said the nonprofit housing group couldn’t have asked for a better crowd or community to work with.

Car club helps turn around lives BY JANET CONNER-KNOX MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

WILSON – It was a short three years ago that Antwan Williams’ life was headed in a bad direction, he said. “I was wild and crazy,” Williams said. “I was into everything and I never thought what the consequences were.” Williams, 20 years old, also loved cars. And it was his love for cars that

helped turn around his life. Williams, a Wilson resident, met the men who founded Dubs and Above, a car club. The club now has branches in Rocky Mount and Louisburg as well as the founding city of Wilson. The proceeds for Saturday’s show will be donated for breast cancer. In addition, club members gave away pizza and soda to those who came out to look at cars. “We want young people to come out and have a great time and see

that the average guy who works hard every day can have nice things – like cars in this show,” said James Silver. Ja’Nice Bobbitt, who heads the membership drive, said she hopes to smash the prejudices by being a member of the club. “You know people are quick to assume if you have rims and your car is tricked out, you must be a drug dealer,” Bobbitt said. “None of us are drug dealers. We make sure every person who joins has a job.”

Afghan indie band rocks Kabul in post-Taliban era K

ABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – Guitars strapped to their backs, three trim Afghan youths flash rock star smiles at armed guards who wave them through the steel doors of a private club. High walls and barbed wire protect the neatly trimmed garden inside from Kabul’s troubled streets. It’s here that the young trio, Afghanistan’s first indie rock band, is launching its debut album. Less than a decade ago, when the Taliban ruled Afghanistan, a concert like this would have landed them in jail. Playing musical instruments was banned. Singing was allowed, but only songs praising Allah or the Taliban. Today, Kabul Dreams, as the band is named, is paving the way for a very modest but growing local rock scene. About 100 Afghans and foreigners gather around a makeshift stage with improvised lighting and a sputtering sound system. Baby-faced singer and guitarist Suleman Qardash repeatedly screams “I wanna run away” – the album’s title track – as drummer Mujtaba Habibi ramps up the beat.

While the lyrics resonate with an Afghan youth weary of suicide bombings and Taliban attacks, running away is the last thing on the band’s mind. The trio

‘We want to show the world that Afghanistan has rock music, it’s not only suicide bombings or attacks.’ Suleman Qardash Kabul Dreams singer, guitarist returned to Afghanistan after temporary exile in Iran, Uzbekistan and Pakistan during Taliban rule. “Young people in Afghanistan like rock music a lot, and we’re providing them with something from their own country,” bass player Siddique Ahmed says. The band rouses the crowd with another

popular number, “Crack in the Radio,” based on a girl who works in a Kabul rock radio station. It’s a song subject that would have been unthinkable under the Taliban. The crowd roars, and some dance wildly, waving their arms to intensifying drumbeats. A few even drink beer, though it is banned by Islam. “We really want a change here and want to see something new. Many young people here my age really enjoy the songs,” says Hadi Marafat, a 28-year-old employee of a nonprofit organization. With Taliban insurgents still holding sway in parts of the country, Kabul Dreams has had to cancel several performances because of security threats. The group sings in English, limiting its appeal at home, but the band says its choice of language will help spread its message to an international audience. In January, the group played at a regional music festival in New Delhi. “We want to show the world that Afghanistan has rock music, it’s not only suicide bombings or attacks,” Qardash says.

Jimmy Buffett hopes to boost Gulf spirits with concert ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) – Singer Jimmy Buffett is just another mad Gulf Coast native when it comes to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, but with an exception: He’s got millions of fans and a way to help lift spirits over the seemingly endless crisis. Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band will play today on the beach in Gulf Shores, Ala., which has been sporadically hit by oil for weeks. The show already has been postponed once because of Hurricane Alex, and Buffett is hoping bad weather lurking in the Gulf doesn’t create problems this weekend. Known for laid-back tunes like “Margaritaville” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” Buffett told The Associated Press in an interview last week that it’s perfectly normal for people to be mad when they see oil washing up on beaches and marshes. “If you’re born and raised on the Gulf Coast

f there’s one thing Bret Michaels learned in winning this year’s top prize on “The Celebrity Apprentice,” Donald Trump’s business-themed reality TV show, it’s expanding a brand to appeal to the widest possible audience. Unfortunately, it looks like the Poison frontman paid way too much attention to an episode in which the contestants had to market country music artists. Michaels drenches his entire new album, “Custom Built” (Poor Boy), in country-fried grease that’s a jarring departure from his 1980shair metal franchise. It’s a strategy that paid off for fellow hair heroes Bon Jovi with “Lost Highway,” which became one of their biggest albums ever, and netted a hit single in “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” a duet with Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles. Michaels does likewise here, reprising Poison’s power ballad “Every Rose Has

Its Thorn” with Brad Arnold, Chris Cagle and Mark Willis. And his duet with Miley Cyrus on “Nothing To Lose” is catchy enough to become a major hit. But ultimately, this all sounds and feels fake, the obvious attempt of a guyliner metalhead pandering to a new demographic. It’s doubtful true country fans will love this album, and just as doubtful Michaels’ metal minions will warm to it either. Don’t underestimate Michaels, who is one of the hottest rockers around right now. Having won “The Celebrity Apprentice” weeks after surviving a near-fatal episode of brain bleeding, then jumping out on tour before being fully recovered, Michaels has gotten more publicity than any singer not named Lady Gaga in recent months. But once the fiddles and steel guitars are packed away, it won’t be long before he’s back in pink and purple spandex, belting out “Talk Dirty To Me.”

Country twang poisons Michaels album BY WAYNE PARRY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

SYDNEY (AP) – A judge ordered Australian band Men at Work last week to hand over a portion of the royalties from their 1980s hit “Down Under,” after previously ruling its distinctive flute riff was copied from a children’s campfire song. But the penalty – 5 percent of the song’s royalties – was far less than the 60 percent sought by publishing company Larrikin Music, which holds the copyright for the song “Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree.” “Kookaburra” was written more than 70 years ago by Australian teacher Marion Sinclair for a Girl Guides competition, and the song about the native Australian bird has been a favorite around campfires from New Zealand to Canada.

YouTube to gather videos for movie

N

EW YORK (AP) – With the help of director Kevin Macdonald, producer Ridley Scott and a few hundred other filmmakers, YouTube is making a movie. YouTube, owned by Mountain View, Calif.-based Google Inc., is organizing the creation of “Life in a Day,” a project that plans to document July 24 with user-submitted videos from around the world. YouTube is asking people to upload footage of their daily lives. Macdonald (“The Last King of Scotland,” “State of Play”) serves as director and will edit together a feature-length documentary from the submitted material. Scott (“Gladiator,” “Robin Hood”) will produce.

“I hope it will be something that will open people’s eyes to the possibilities of user-generated film,” Macdonald said. “Of course, it’s a risk. It could be that I won’t get anything interesting back. But I don’t think that will be the case. I’m sure there will be some real gems, some real magic, which is what I’m looking for.” The film will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January. It will simultaneously be streamed on YouTube for free. Those whose footage makes it into the film will be credited as co-directors, and 20 of them will be flown to Sundance for the premiere. The project mirrors YouTube’s two previous crowd-sourcing efforts to marry its enormous com-

munity with professionals. The YouTube Symphony Orchestra gathered classical musicians from YouTube with the help of conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and composer Tan Dun. The recently launched YouTube Play partners with the Guggenheim Museum to create a “biennial of creative video.” “We really feel that YouTube over the past five years has definitely changed the way that content is created and consumed,” said YouTube’s film and animation manager, Sara Pollack. “Each of these programs continues to deliver against that – empowering regular people who have visions, who have voices, who have opinions, who have talent.”

NEW YORK (AP) – James Patterson’s publishing company says he’s the first author to exceed one million sales in electronic book delivery. The Hachette Book Group says Patterson has moved 1.14 million units of his books for devices such as Kindle and the iPad. The big seller is the most recent: Patterson’s novel “I, Alex Cross,” published both electronically and in hardcover last fall. Since his first novel in 2007, his books have sold more than 205 million copies.

Chili cookoff heats up fundraiser W

hat is your alarm? Is it a five-alarm, four-alarm or perhaps one-alarm? This week I am talking chili. Do you like Smokin’ Chili, Cincinnati Cili, Texas Chili, Oww! Chili, Flat Snake Chili or could it be Chili today ... hot Tamale? (I couldn’t resist that.) Each year, North Carolina CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International Inc.) Cook-Off is held at the Piedmont Farmers Market. Perhaps you didn’t know that the Chili Cook-off is much more than winning the Piedmont Pepper Pod CASI Chili Cook-off. This year more than $37,000 was raised for the Epilepsy Medication Fund, which is one of the services from the Epilepsy Foundation of North Carolina based at Wake Forest Medical Center. A cook-off would not be a cook-off without judges. Pat Wheeler’s interest in the Chili Cook-off run much deeper than cool, chilly or hot chili. This is where I enter the scene, thanks to my friend Wheeler. It was a few years ago, when I first met and wrote about Wheeler and her daughter Callie Fagg. Fagg now in her mid20s was diagnosed with primary generalized epilepsy when she was just 11 years old. Accompanied by Wheeler and Fagg, I visited the Epilepsy Foundation of North Carolina Office at Wake Forest to find out about the challenges Fagg and others with epilepsy face. In addition to the physical challenges of this unpredictable neurological disease, I learned that the financial challenges of needed medication can be overwhelming. Enter the Epilepsy Medication Fund to the rescue. Pat Gibson, director of the Epilepsy Emergency Service, founded the fund in 1989 through a bill in the North Carolina Legislature. While that helps, the funding for medications usually are completely gone by early May. Those who have epilepsy just cannot go without their medication, which are often over $1000 per month. So sound the alarms. It is the “what’s your alarm?� CASI Chili Cook-off to save the day. CASI’s has a mission besides the love of chili. It is to “promote chili and to raise money for charity.� Each year, there are over 500 CASI chili cook offs throughout the United States which raise over $1 million annually for local charities. That’s a WOW! So, just how did I prepare for my judging responsibilities? The answer is simple. I went hungry ... not a problem for me. My husband Stanley also agreed to judge. When we arrived on the grounds of the Farmers Market, the Coleman stoves already were steaming with chili. Booths were bedecked with colorful chili peppers and other decorations. It was a festive day of competition. The top chili winner goes to the international competition held

in Terlingua, Texas, in November. The judging tent was ABOUT being prepared as TOWN I spotted Wheeler Mary and her Bogest beautiful â– â– â– daughter again. We walked around the grounds and looked at several of the show booths that also compete in raising money. At one of the more festive booths, I spotted Kim Heiman and her chef husband Scott with his chili and beads! Yes, I do mean beads and not beans. You recently read about Scott, who brought the beaded necklaces back from a mission trip to Kenya and is selling them to benefit the women in MARY BOGEST | HPE the Nairobi slum.

As the judges started arriving, I recognized a few of them including our own Sheriff BJ Barnes, who quickly got into a deep (I tried unsuccessfully to eavesdrop) conversation with “soon to be outgoingâ€? state Rep. Laura Wiley. Laura’s husband Bruce also was a judge. Laura and Bruce both told me that they have picked out some land in the mountains to build their “retirementâ€? home. Have you met anyone who doesn’t like, admire or will miss Laura Wiley when she is out of our political arena? She embraced her ward, embraced her community and was embraced back.
