Controversial machines Sweepstakes owners, players express frustration with ban BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The fact that the neon screens of 14 internet sweepstakes machines tucked in a corner at the High Point Variety Flea Market may have to be turned off by Dec. 1 irks Helen Prescod-Whitfield. “It should be up to each individual about how they spend their money,” said Prescod-Whitfield, a vendor at the flea market who sometimes uses the machines, about the bill banning sweepstakes in the state, which awaits either a signature or veto from Gov. Beverly Perdue. “But that isn’t the worst part about it. What

bothers me the most is all of the jobs it’s going to cost.” While gambling establishments are illegal in the state, online gambling parlors have popped up for more than a year under the argument customers are purchasing internet time cards from the businesses that allow them to access online gambling games. Supporters of the ban have said it lures people to bet money that could be used to pay grocery or mortgage bills. Jim Jennings, owner of the flea market on Tate Street, said he added the machines as a source of extra income in hard times and hired one employee to man the operation. If they’re required to shut the machines down he said “it’s going to hurt.”

“It’s going to hurt us, but it’s going to hurt bigger operations who employ more people,” he said. “(The machines) have helped with our rent. When people come in to play them, they buy snacks and canned drinks and things during their stay.” The Associated Press reports there are approximately 900 sweepstakes centers in the state that employ thousands of people. While Jennings uses the machines as a side business, most online gambling parlors rely on them as their main source of income. Haywood White recently opened Paradise Sweepstakes at the intersection at Johnson Street and E. Parris Avenue. He hired four people upon opening. “I was upset to hear that they decided to take the right from people to spend their money and leisure time the way they want to,” White said about the ban. White also offers bingo in the evenings, but he relies on cus-

tomers to use the machines during the day. He said he had many affluent customers who played the games, and it’s wrong to assume that only poor people come in to play or waste money. Bill Freeman, a retired 71-yearold, was playing one of the machines on Friday because he said it’s a “form of entertainment.” “I’m retired, so otherwise I would be sitting in a room watching a television,” he said. “I think everyone is just worried about this taking away from the (North Carolina Education) lottery.” While Gov. Beverly Perdue is expected to sign the ban, John Hood, president of the conservative think-tank the John Locke Foundation, said it’s doubtful the issue will disappear completely. “There is a lot of demand for these establishments, so the issue is going to keep coming up,” he said.

The nonprofit organization Bookmarks recently elected Guy Blynn president of its executive board. He is the retired vice president and general counsel of R.J. Reynolds Global Products. Bookmarks is a nonprofit organization that provides literary experiences for all ages and demographics in the Piedmont Triad and beyond.

She made it to High Point by way of Miami, where she lived for 26 years, and now has a bountiful garden in her backyard on Stoneybrook Drive. “I’ve been doing this

Housing authority CEO candidates down to six BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Point Housing Authority leaders have pared down the field of candidates for the agency’s top job and are in the process of picking finalists. The authority received more than 30 applications for the job of CEO, and the Board of Commissioners’ Personnel Committee narrowed the pool to the six most qualified. Those applications have been sent to all commissioners, who have been asked to rank the candidates according to their preferences by July 19. Depending on the rankings,

the board will interview two or three candidates unless consensus emerges that one person fits the bill, in which case only that prospect brought in, according to board Chairman Bob Davis. “We’re in a hurry, but we want to give everybody a proper evaluation,” Davis said. “We just didn’t want to rush in to it and hire somebody that probably wouldn’t work out, so we’ve done some pretty good evaluations and hopefully we can select a good candidate out of this bunch.” The new CEO will take over for Robert L. Kenner, who resigned in May after seven years on the job. The six remaining candidates

are primarily from the Southeast and have a variety of experiences with housing authorities. The board has emphasized the need to find someone with proven leadership ability who can work well with the community and other government entities. The search has been national in scope and handled by the authority without the use of an outside firm. Davis said board members had been pleased with the amount of interest in the job and the number of applications submitted. He estimated the board could have the job filled within the next 30 days. “We’ve got some pretty good candidates,” Davis said.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Kenner’s replacement will take over an agency with an $18.1 million budget and 71 employees that oversees about 2,680 public housing units and rental assistance contracts throughout the city. Among the challenges the authority faces is bringing the proposed Clara Cox Homes redevelopment project to fruition after years of searching for a funding source. The authority wants to develop a mixedincome community on the site of a former housing project that would be a key in the planned revitalization of the area, which is near the Macedonia neighborhood. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

I say a little prayer,” said Kim Wheeler, director of the education group Red Wolf Coalition. Between 1999 and 2006, gunshots accounted for 32 percent of the deaths among breeding wolves and six to eight have been gunned down yearly since 2007. Illegally killing a red wolf can cost up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine. “There are people who honestly mistake a wolf for a coyote,” said David Rabon, a recovery coordinator with the U.S. Fish and Wild-

life Service. “And there are people who conveniently forget what a wolf looks like.” The wolves were first released in North Carolina’s 154,000-acre Alligator River refuge in 1987, but the first four pair were ill-equipped to live in the wild and died. The population on the Albemarle peninsula has remained stable at 100 to 120 in recent years. All were born there except for a few captive-born pups reared by wild mothers, pumping fresh blood into the gene pool.

Tortoise shows up 4 years after disappearing BRENTWOOD, N.H. (AP) – A New Hampshire couple says a 25pound pet tortoise has reappeared four years after escaping from its pen. Mike and Christine Wellington say their African spur thigh tortoise named Lucy

made off from their greenhouse business in Brentwood. But on Friday, the Wellingtons received a call from a neighbor half a mile up the road that Lucy had reappeared. The Wellingtons say they’re certain the tortoise is theirs because

of the unusual protruding bumps on its back. Mike Wellington says turtles of Lucy’s species dig deep holes in the ground for protection in extreme weather. He says he supposes Lucy did just that to survive New Hampshire’s winters the past four years.

WINSTON-SALEM – Forsyth County court officials are adding a DWI court and streamlining the way DWI cases are handled in response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. That ruling requires crime lab analysts to testify about results in drug and DWI cases. Before the ruling, prosecutors would simply introduce affidavits from the analysts. The requirement has led to a backlog. “I’ve got cases where my clients had to come to court 10 or 11 times and then be told it can’t be reached,” said Clarke Dummit, a local lawyer who regularly defends people charged with DWI. “You have to miss work for 10 days and it’s not fair.” The Supreme Court ruling and the resulting

When the products were a hit with her family, she began selling the items online and rented a space at the Lexington Farmer’s Market for the first time this year. “I have always worked, so it was hard (after the wreck),” she said. “I’m a newbie here (at the market), and it’s been a real hands-on experience so far.

backlog have led Forsyth County officials to come up with ways to better handle DWI cases. Traffic cases, including DWIs, are usually handled in Forsyth District Court, where 200 to 250 cases a day can be heard. People either enter a plea to such charges as speeding, continue their case to another court date or decide on a lawyer. But sometimes, there are trials, and DWI cases are increasingly becoming the most complicated to try, court officials said. And with a heavy caseload, there’s not much time to try them, leading to the backlog. “It used to be that traffic court was over before lunch,” said Judge Chester Davis of Forsyth District Court. Not anymore, he said. Often, traffic court isn’t over before 5 p.m.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Have you lost you tax bill? Need to check your property assessment? Want to pay your bill early? Many of the county records that can help you are online. Since 2008, the Guilford County Tax Department has been upgrading the office’s 20-year-old tax software system. The upgrade provides online access to records and abstracts from the land records and real property appraisal system. The Billing and Collections System information became available this week. “The general public will reap the benefits of the new system through enhancements to tax statements and our public Web access applica-

grading the information technology system for several years. The systems offer savings in manual labor and paper and postage costs.

Man drowns after fall from boat ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Lexington man drowned in an apparent accident on High Rock Lake Sunday morning. The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call at 6:11 a.m. reporting a possible drowning at 605 Roy Coppley Road off N.C. 8 on High Rock Lake. Deputies arrived on the scene at 6:26 a.m. and spoke to witnesses, who stated that the victim, Brandon David Brogdon, 30, of 2280

Old Linwood Road, fell from a pontoon boat into the water beside a pier, according to the sheriff’s office. The friends who were with him located Brogdon and attempted to revive him, as did Davidson County EMS and Southmont Fire Department personnel who arrived. Brogdon was taken by ambulance to Lexington Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:36 a.m., deputies said.

Respect fact we’re a city, nation of individuals It’s early morning in High Point. It’s been quiet for a while now. Paper carriers have the streets to themselves as they toss an Enterprise in the drive. Silence owns these hours. Yesterday’s heat lingers to morning, promise of a sweltering day. This heat is indiscriminate, treating us all the same. Early morning in town, a young black woman waits for the bus down on Cedrow . The Po Po lies in wait for speeders on the U.S. 311 Bypass. An old woman in a housedress sweeps her walk on McGuinn; she bought that house new in 1953. A young-at-heart retired couple pick up litter from Andrews school all the way down Montlieu toward town. They do this about every morning. A fat white guy bends over to pick up the morning paper exposing more than he knows. Kiki’s at the Village Café preparing tonight’s dinner. A preacher unlocks the gates that protect him from the community he serves. On a downtown street, a homeless man sees his reflection in a showroom window ... in the Home Furnishings Capital of the World. I wonder if he reflects on the irony. Moms quickly drop little darlings off at day care. Smokers take one last drag before crossing over Elm, returning to the Cancer Center. Two young girls walk hand-in-hand on the new sidewalks on Lexington, with no hurry in their step. That’s who we are. We are all a bit different. So when you write your letters/columns, don’t be like the sun and treat us all the same. Democrat, Republican, conservative or liberal we may, or not, be. Most could care less. You could be better writers, if you looked at one person at a time. ( The new sidewalks on Lexington show you care, and thank you very much.) Pray for Peace JAMES BRIGHAM High Point

work of West End Ministries BY DUSTY SCHOCH

This letter is written on behalf of the West End Ministries Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and those we serve to express our thanks publicly to High

I

n Thursday’s edition of The High Point Enterprise, you published Leonard Pitts’ article slamming Mel Gibson for

his “racial hatred.” Pitts waxes prosaic as he ponders the face of racial hatred, telling us it’s not just the Nazi’s – “Hate,” he says (often) “looks like a grandmother baking cookies, a teacher … etc.” Today, I say it looks like a mirror – the one Pulitzer Prize winner and racial whiner Pitts should be looking in. Such transparent hypocrisy. Mel Gibson is (surprise!) white and here’s a black columnist singling out this high-strung actor for something he said to his girlfriend in the heat of an argument. When Gibson used the n-word he wasn’t in public; no Afro-Americans heard the taboo of all taboos epithet. For all we know, Gibson used it because he thought his girlfriend was afraid of blacks and hence might be persuaded to wear less alluring attire on the streets because of that fear. Who knows. Certainly not less-hatefulthan-Mel Pitts. Gibson’s remarks were private and, as were the sins of poor (also white) John Edwards, pulled from the garbage cans of their existence, by traitorous fameseeking “friends.” Who’s lower than the one who in rage utters a slander or hateful remark – the one who spits it out in anger or the one who repeats and promulgates it with cool deliberation? Rhetorical question. If Pitts cared a whit about the promulgation of racial hatred, why would he focus on mercurial Mel Gibson when there are a virtual slew of Afro-American brothers of his out there making a living out of spewing racial hatred against the whites (e.g. black

rappers “Tommy Boy,” with typical lyrics: “Kill the white people; we gonna make them hurt; kill the white people; but buy my record first; ha ha ha” ... published by Time Warner! Check out the whole hate-mongering list at this Jewish website that rightly dubs the rappers as commercial sponsors of hate crimes http://www. martinlutherking.org/rapperlyrics.html. Joining the mob of mediocrity who reflexively focus their concern on anything the dollar-driven media regurgitate as newsworthy (as the HPE did Pitt’s piece on Gibson) illustrates that one’s pride and prejudice often hoist one on his own petard, even when one’s pride is prodding one to pounce on another’s prejudice. Pitts concludes his rant on Gibson’s racial hatred with the plaintive denouement: “Sometimes hate is handsome, familiar and beloved. Indeed, sometimes, hate looks like a move star.” I say hate sometimes looks like a brilliant black Pulitzer Prize columnist. DUSTY SCHOCH lives in High Point.

Augustus was confused. “I’ve never heard of ...” “Beck University!” said Harvey, the smile widening. “You know, Glenn Beck? He has OPINION that show on CNN. Also, that novel, Leonard that other book, Pitts that radio program, ■■■ that standup act, that line of athletic shoes and that cologne. He founded an online university back in 2010 so people could learn the real truth they don’t get in your so-called ’universities.”’ He made air quotes. “So, when you rejected that Martin Luther King biography because it didn’t mention how white conservatives started the civil rights movement ...” A sharp nod. “I learned that at Beck U.” “And when you told the author of that book on religion that ’pinko commie’ is the preferred term for preachers who talk about social and economic justice ...” “Beck U.” “And when you asked why there was no reference to Nazi

death panels euthanizing children in that book on health-care reform ...” “Yes, sir! Beck U.” Augustus sank back into his chair. “Beck me,” he muttered. “Beg pardon?” Augustus regarded the man who perched before him. “Harvey,” he said after a moment, “you can’t believe all that garbage they filled your head with. None of that stuff is true! It’s just the rantings of a paranoid nutjob living in an alternate reality. The facts –” Harvey shrank back, looking horrified. “No, sir!” he shouted. “No, sir! Professor Beck warned us about people like you. He said you’d try to confuse us with all your ’facts’ and your ’logic’ and your ’reason.’ Well, Harvey Walter Carbunkle is on to your game!” All at once, Augustus felt tired. He felt old. “Very well,” he said. “Believe what you want. But we’ve still got to let you go. You’re not qualified.” Harvey appeared to contemplate this. He shrugged. “That’s OK,” he said. “Now I’ll have time to pursue my graduate work at the U of L.” Augustus sat up straight.

They’re getting a dubious education at Beck U. scene from the near future: Augustus Merryweather IV glanced up at the tapping on his office door. Harvey Carbunkle stood there in bow tie and shirt sleeves, smiling eagerly from behind horn-rimmed glasses. Augustus sighed. He hated this part of the job. It was never fun to let people go. He waved the young man to a seat, spoke without preamble. “Harvey, I’m afraid it’s not working out.” The eager face fell like a refrigerator from a moving truck. “You’re firing me?” “I have no choice. Your work, well ... it hasn’t been up to the standard we expect for an editor at Merryweather Publishing. Frankly, I’m surprised. When I saw that you were a graduate of BU, I couldn’t wait to hire you. Boston University turns out some great students.” “I didn’t go to Boston University,” Harvey said. “Baylor, then.

You think the world is about ’facts’ and ’knowledge’ and ’information’ you can ’prove.’ The lamestream media has you fooled and you don’t even know it.” Abruptly he turned away, gnawing a knuckle. “Well,” said Augustus, “I suppose we’ll just have to agree to –” He stopped, alarmed. “My God, man, are you crying?” Harvey’s eyes were glistening. His voice wobbled like a toddler. “I’m sorry,” he gasped. “It’s just ...” His voice tore. He bit his lip, lifted his palm, took a steadying breath, then tried again. “It’s just that I love my country so much and I’m frightened for her future.” Augustus shook his head. “I know just how you feel,” he said.

Iran halts stoning of woman ’for time being’ TEHRAN, Iran – The controversial death sentence by stoning for an Iranian woman convicted of adultery will not be implemented for now, said a judicial official on Sunday. The world outcry over the death sentence has become the latest issue in Iran’s fraught relationship with the international community. Malek Ajdar Sharifi, the top judicial official in the province where the mother of two was convicted, said Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani’s stoning would still take place if the judiciary wanted.

Brazil: Air France jet lands after bomb threat RIO DE JANEIRO – An Air France passenger jet from Rio to Paris that made an emergency landing in northeastern Brazil with 405 passengers aboard due to a bomb threat was scheduled to take off again Sunday night after no explosive was found on board. The delay in the plane’s departure from the northeastern city of Recife was necessary because regulations require that the crew receive a certain amount of rest, an Air France spokesman said Sunday.

Abbas: No point in direct talks with Israel now RAMALLAH, West Bank – The Palestinian president, who is under U.S. pressure to resume direct talks with Israel, said that doing so under current circumstances would be pointless. Mahmoud Abbas sounded determined not to return to the table unless Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commits to an internationally mandated settlement freeze and agrees to pick up talks where they left off under the Israeli leader’s predecessor in December 2008.

Hundreds rescued from overheated trains BERLIN – A grueling heat wave shut down the air conditioning in three high-tech trains in Germany, leaving dozens of passengers near collapse trapped in temperatures of up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, authorities said Sunday. At least 52 people needed medical treatment and about 1,000 people had to switch trains, the national railway system, Deutsche Bahn, said.

Yemen upholds sentences in US Embassy attack SAN’A, Yemen – A Yemeni appeals court upheld on Sunday the death sentences against four al-Qaida militants in deadly attacks that included the assault on the U.S. Embassy and the killing of two Belgian tourists in 2008, a court official said. The four were convicted last year as part of an al-Qaida cell behind the March 2008 attack on the embassy that killed a school guard in an adjacent building. The men were also convicted of killing two Belgian women tourists in January 2008.

19-year-old fugitive captured after 2 years on the run NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) – For two years he stayed a step ahead of the law – stealing cars, powerboats and even airplanes, police say, while building a reputation as a 21st-century folk hero. On Sunday, Colton Harris-Moore’s celebrity became his downfall. Witnesses on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera recognized the 19-yearold dubbed the “Barefoot Bandit� and called police, who captured him after a high-speed boat chase, Bahamas Police Commissioner Ellison Greenslade said at a news conference in Nassau, the capital. Greenslade said shots were fired during the chase but he did not say who fired them. He also said Harris-Moore was carrying a handgun that he tried to throw away. Another police official, however, said police fired to disable the motor on the suspect’s stolen boat, and that Harris-Moore threw his gun in the water. The official also said police recovered a laptop and a GPS from the suspect. The 6-foot-5-inch Harris-Moore had been on the run since escaping from a Washington state halfway house in 2008.

30 feared dead in 2 bomb blasts in Uganda KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) – Bombs exploded at two sites in Uganda’s capital late Sunday as people watched the World Cup final on TV, and officials at the scene put the death toll at more than 30 and said it could rise further. Police Chief Kale Kaihura said he believed that Somalia’s most feared militia – al-Shabab, which has pledged loyalty to al-Qaida

– could be behind the attacks. One of the bombs went off at an Ethiopian restaurant in Kampala, Uganda’s capital. Al-Shabab views Ethiopia as an enemy. The second blast went off at a restaurant called the Kyadondo Rugby Club. A police officer at the scene of the blasts said he believed more than 30 people had been killed.

A whole hillside in the eastern Bosnian town was dug out with graves, waiting for 775 coffins covered in green cloths to be laid to rest at the biggest Srebrenica funeral so far.

Attacks kill 11 Afghan police, official in north KABUL, Afghanistan – Militant attacks in oncecalm northern Afghanistan killed at least 11 police officers and a government official whose car was hit by a remote-controlled bomb, officials said Sunday. In the south, NATO said a U.S. service member died Sunday following an insurgent attack and a combined coaliton and Afghan patrol killed a senior Taliban commander and a dozen other insurgents who were discovered planting a homemade bomb on a road.

UK vets mark 70 years since Battle of Britain LONDON – British veterans of the Battle of Britain, the furious aerial conflict between British and German aircraft in 1940, joined Sunday in a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the battle. Around 5,000 people, including Prince Michael of Kent and Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton, the senior commander of the Royal Air Force, converged at the Battle of Britain memorial at Capel-le-Ferne near the English Channel port of Dover.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – A senior U.S. senator urged Pakistan Sunday to crack down on the al-Qaida-linked Haqqani insurgent network, which operates on both sides of the country’s border with Afghanistan. Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said he does not think the

Haqqani network will ever make peace and he vowed to push to include the group on the U.S. terrorist blacklist. The senator praised Pakistan for its help in fighting terrorism, but said the country’s reluctance to push into the North Waziristan area run by the Haqqanis is hurting the war effort.

He said he could not be named, and Kaihura declined to confirm a death toll. An AP reporter at the two scenes estimated that the toll would be more than 30.

Gibbs says Democrats could lose House WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama’s party could lose its House majority in this fall’s elections, his spokesman said Sunday, perhaps trying to jolt Democratic voters with the specter of GOP lawmakers rolling back White House policies. “I think there’s no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control. There’s no doubt about that,� press secretary Robert Gibbs told NBC’s “Meet the Press.�

Rev. Schuller retiring from Crystal Cathedral GARDEN GROVE, Calif. – The Rev. Robert H. Schuller, founder of Southern California’s Crystal Cathedral megachurch and host of the “Hour of Power� televangelism broadcast, announced Sunday he will retire after 55 years in the pulpit and his daughter will take over. Schuller, 83, told his congregation that Sheila Schuller Coleman will become sole lead pastor, after sharing that role with her father for the past year.

Future of cemetery uncertain 1 year later CHICAGO – Louella Johnson has spent the last year hoping for answers. More than a dozen of the Chicago woman’s relatives, including her daughter, mother and grandparents, were buried at Burr Oak Cemetery, a historic black graveyard where a gruesome desecration scandal was discovered last summer. Hundreds of families are in the same situation a year later, as the future of the suburban Chicago cemetery remains in limbo.

Son of mobster Mickey Spillane falls to death NEW YORK – The son of murdered Irish mobster Mickey Spillane tumbled out the window of his sixthfloor apartment in a fatal fall Saturday, police and his uncle said. Robert “Bobby� Spillane, an actor who had roles on television’s “Rescue Me� and “Law & Order,� fell from his Midtown Manhattan apartment in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood near Times Square where his father, not to be confused with the writer of the same name, had run rackets back in the 1960s and 1970s. No criminality was suspected in Bobby Spillane’s death.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Attorney General Eric Holder says there’s a real question about whether a terrorist suspect such as self-professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed can face the death penalty if he were to plead guilty before a military commission. Holder proposed last year trying Mohammed and four alleged accomplices in civilian courts in New York City. But that idea generated so much controversy that it’s all but been abandoned.

He told CBS’ “Face the Nation� it’s possible to impose the death penalty in a civilian setting for someone who pleads guilty. But he says there’s far less legal Holder certainty about that possibility in a military setting. Since January, Holder has said that all options are on the table about where to try Mohammed and the four other terrorist suspects. That includes the possibil-

FEC filing shows Palin gave $87,500 to candidates JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) – A report filed with the Federal Elections Commission Sunday shows Sarah Palin’s political action committee contributed at least $87,500 to candidates she’s endorsed in the last few months. But the disclosure filed by SarahPAC also shows Palin spending more than $210,000 on consulting.

Republican candidates receiving money from April 1 to June 30 include former Gov. Terry Branstad in the recent Republican gubernatorial primary in Iowa, and Joe Miller, who’s challenging Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the August Republican primary. Each received $5,000.

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials will take their first look Tuesday at district test data from the latest state end-of-grade and end-of-course tests. Final results for individual schools usually arrive by August. The Guilford County Board of Education will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the district administrative offices in Greensboro. Students increased scores for the 2008-09 year in all 10 subgroups on the EOGs with doubledigit growth in eight out of the 10 subgroups and improvement in all 14 EOG test categories. The scores are important for school improvement plans. Last year, school officials celebrated the performance of Ferndale Middle School where students raised reading and math scores by 18.5 points to 60 percent, reading 20 points to 53 percent proficiency and math 17 points to 68 percent proficiency. A new school improvement plan at Oak Hill Elementary School will start next month with likely federal grant support based on the school’s low performance on state tests. Oak Hill Elementary is one of eight schools marked as the lowest performing schools in the state. EOGs, required by the state, are given at the end of the year in grades three through eight in reading, math and science. EOCs are given in 10 subject areas for middle and high school students, with five of the 10 tests counting as part of the new graduation standards set by the state. The tests also are used to judge Adequate Yearly Progress goals. AYP is the federal accountability standard under the No Child Left Behind Act. The district’s Strategic Plan also uses test results to measure academic progress. The school board also will consider budget matters during the meeting.

RESULTS

–

Goal: By 2012, the district’s goal is for 81 percent of students to reach proficiency on EOG reading tests and for 88 percent to be proficient on the state math tests.

Thomasville police Chief Jeff Insley shows the police department’s new website.

Community link Thomasville police unveil new website BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville police hope the launching of a new website will allow residents to be informed while assisting the law enforcement agency as a policing tool. The website, which was launched last week, is “an open avenue of communication between” the community and the police department, said police Chief Jeff Insley. The website can be accessed at www.ci.thomasville. nc.us/Departments/Police/ index.html. “We don’t want to separate ourselves,” he said. “We want the community to know what’s going on within the agency and what’s going on within their community.” Andy Wolfe, a recent graduate of Davidson County Community College, worked with the police department in assisting and developing the website. He trained two employees with the police department

to run the website, which will be updated biweekly, according to Insley. “It’s going to be updated biweekly or if any particular crime alert comes up, it

‘We don’t want to separate ourselves. We want the community to know what’s going on within the agency and what’s going on within their community.’ Chief Jeff Insley Thomasville Police Department will be done daily,” the police chief said. “We are going to do it biweekly and see how that goes.” The website will feature the agency’s contact tele-

phone numbers and e-mail addresses, a link to Thomasville Crimestoppers, a photo gallery, recent crime statistics and upcoming events. The website also will have information and photos of the department’s “most wanted.” Insley said the website also has the biographies of many of the officers with the department. “I want to make sure that the community knows that they have got a very competent staff and we are here to work with them to do the right thing,” he said. Maj. James Mills said the new website also is userfriendly. “That’s how people like getting information now. If you want to find out about moving to the area or find about what’s in the city, that’s what they are going to do,” he said. “They are going to search for it. “We also hope people will see it as we get job openings.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Local councils OK with sweepstakes ban BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Local communities have taken different approaches to dealing with the influx of Internet sweepstakes businesses that have popped up within the last year, but leaders from those communities say they’re neutral to or OK with the bill that the House passed last week to ban the establishments. Last month, the Archdale City Council approved tighter restrictions for the online gambling parlors that affected the hours of operation and future sites of the establishments. Under the restrictions, they are allowed to operate from 8 a.m. to midnight and cannot be within 200 feet of a residential property or 500 feet from any religious or childcare facility, school, park

or another electronic gaming operation. They also are limited to 20 computer terminals and must have at least one parking space per terminal. “We took these actions because it was something that was growing in the community,” said Jerry Yarborough, city manager, about the businesses. “We felt if we could manage it in this manner where they would not become intrusions to surrounding neighborhoods, then we could live with them.” Yarborough said he’s neutral the bill’s passage. “My view is as long as public safety is protected, I’m satisfied.” The High Point City Council discussed the issue informally but decided not to take action, said Mayor Becky Smothers. “I was all for developing an ordinance where we would

have specific business licenses offered to them and a way to tax the machines, but our attorney alerted us that there would probably be state legislation about the matter,” she said. “So we waited, and now we know how it’s going to be handled.” Officials in Midway in Davidson County also kept an eye on the legislation and planned to take action if state legislation was not put into place. The town of 4,399 people has five sweepstakes businesses. Officials expected more of the businesses would flock to the town as neighboring Winston-Salem charges a flat fee of $2,500 to the businesses and $500 per terminal. But the situation is no longer a worry to the town now that the ban has been passed. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Artists wanted for trail project RALEIGH (AP) – The North Carolina Arts Council is looking for artists to create works for two public arts projects that will be centerpieces of cultural tourism trails. One commission is public art for the African-American Music trail in All-America City Park in Kinston. The other is for the Historic Happy Valley project and the Yadkin River Greenway Trail in Patterson. Happy Valley is the setting of the ballad “Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley,� which recounts the murder of Laura Foster in 1867 and the hanging of her fiance, Tom Dula.

TOPSAIL BEACH – Two families proved this weekend that, even if six-and-a-half decades go by, it’s never too late to fulfill a promise. Topsail Beach resident Angelo DePaola recalls the events of May 15, 1945, with crystalline clarity. He was a young Marine non-commis-

‘I didn’t think there was a chance I was going to find anybody after all those years.’ Randy Brazelton Grand-nephew of Angelo DePaola, who was killed in action during World War II sioned officer in Okinawa, Japan, engaged in the battle for Sugar Loaf Hill, which would cost dearly in Marine lives. And if it has not been for another Marine corporal in his unit, Camp Lejeune’s 29th Marine Regiment, he, too, would have numbered among the fallen. That Marine, Dale Brazelton, lost his life while heroically returning for DePaola, who had been left behind when the call came to withdraw from the hill. While DePaola and Brazelton together tried to drag a wounded comrade to safety, Brazelton was shot in the chest and fell. “He said, ‘Get out of here and leave me alone.’ I stood there for

what seemed like an eternity. I didn’t know what to do,� DePaola said. When DePaola returned to the states, he promised himself he would find and meet Brazelton’s family. But life intruded, and several plans to reunite came to nothing. It wasn’t until Brazelton’s grand-nephew, Randy Brazelton, started looking through the family archives that the plan was revived. He posted an advertisement in a Marine veterans newsletter looking for anyone who knew Dale Brazelton. DePaola answered the ad. “I didn’t think there was a chance I was going to find anybody after all those years,� Randy Brazelton said. Brazelton quickly organized a reunion trip to Topsail Beach. On Friday, the DePaola and Brazelton clans sat in the same living room at rapt attention, listening to Angelo recount war stories from nearly 70 years ago. Some family members had tears in their eyes. Though DePaola willingly shared stories, photographs and a shadow box of his medals, for him the weekend was about honoring his combat buddy Dale. “As I told my children here, I don’t want them to make me look like a darn hero,� he said. Brazelton’s family begged to differ. “Even though he thinks it’s about honoring our uncle, we are all wanting to honor him,� Dale’s grandniece, Linda Brazelton, said.

Five people were injured – including some who jumped from their second-story condominiums – during a three-alarm fire Saturday in east Charlotte. The fire was reported at 5:42 a.m. at the Devonshire Court condominiums at 8124 Tremaine Court off Albemarle Road. The identities of the injured had not been released, but Medic spokeswoman Kristin Young described the injuries as “potentially life-threatening.� Dane McNeil said he was awakened by the sound of screaming and shattering glass. He ran outside to find the stairwell on fire and people falling to the ground after jumping from the upper floors. “It was surreal,� said McNeil, who was able to salvage some clothing, books and a few pieces of furniture after his condo was heavily damaged by smoke and water. He planned to stay with his friends.

Doctor uses plane, not car, to make house calls RALEIGH (AP) – About once a month, John Kihm takes off from the Person County Airport in his sixseat Piper Mirage plane and lands on Ocracoke Island. But it’s not the island’s charms that draw the doctor from Durham. It’s patients. Kihm volunteers his time and his plane to make house calls to residents of the small coastal island. The island does have a health clinic, but it is often not able to meet all of the needs of Oc-

‘A lot of people go out of the country to volunteer or feel like they are giving back, but I can see a lot of room to help people just down the road.’ John Kihm racoke residents. Without his visits, many would have to travel five or six hours, by car and by ferry, to reach a doctor. “My whole philosophy is taking care of the patient,� Kihm says. “Everything else follows from there.� And take care of them he does. Kihm also makes house calls in Durham, to patients of his internal medicine practice, Priority Medi-

cine. And two Wednesdays a month – technically his time off – he volunteers to see patients at the Lincoln Community Health Center clinic at the Durham Urban Ministries homeless shelter. “For me, medicine was somewhat of a calling,� Kihm says. “A lot of people go out of the country to volunteer or feel like they are giving back, but I can see a lot of room to help people just down the road.� Kihm is not an imposing man. With a tanned face from all his time flying, sparkling blue eyes and a perpetual smile, he’s got an ease that makes patients feel relaxed. He’s a neat dresser but often opts for the more laid back style without a tie when seeing patients. The Michigan native talks with a soft drawl that’s a cross between the speech patterns of a “Yooper� (a native of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula) and a Southerner. The son of an orthopedic surgeon, Kihm still goes home to Michigan – usually flying there himself. But he’s adopted the Tar Heel state as his home. Kihm fell in love with the Outer Banks and specifically Ocracoke as a young man. During a two-year fellowship at Duke University, he would go camping on the beach. He has been flying to Ocracoke to help care for patients for 13 years total. First he worked in the island clinic, but for the past six he’s been making house calls, visiting with patients, performing exams, giving

Aging parents’ go-it-alone attitude can be dangerous

D

ear Abby: My parents are both in their 80s, and I try to stay in touch with them as often as possible. Unfortunately, one issue I cannot get through to them is when to call 911 for help. Example: If Mom trips and falls, Dad needs to call 911 rather than struggle to help her up. One or both of them could be injured due to lack of strength or ability. Also, if a stranger rings their doorbell or calls on the phone and asks them questions about checking accounts, etc., this person should be reported. How do I impress upon my parents the need to contact the authorities when something is amiss rather than attempt to handle it themselves? – Art In Easton, Pa. Dear Art: Trying to parent one’s parents long distance can be frustrating and emotionally draining. Part of the problem may be that when people in their golden years begin to slow down, they often don’t realize that it’s happening. Please impress upon your father that when your mother falls there may be a reason for it that goes beyond being “clumsy.� She may have suffered a small stroke or have an inner ear imbalance and need to be seen by a doctor. Also, when older people fall they can crack a bone, and being lifted by someone other than a professional can cause

further injury. These days there are more “sharks� swimming around ADVICE out there than ever, Dear poised Abby to take ■■■advantage of the gullible and the vulnerable. If you suspect that someone has been asking your parents for information about their personal finances, the police should be informed. Also, if you feel they need protection, then it’s time to involve a social worker to help them. Your local Area Agency on Aging or state department of health can guide you. Dear Abby: Many years ago I made a conscious and deliberate decision to leave the dating scene. Whenever I tell a woman I’m not interested or have made other plans, she becomes upset and angry with me. I try to be tactful and diplomatic with women, but it invariably results in acrimonious behavior toward me. I am exasperated with the situation. What’s your advice? – Nice Guy in New Jersey Dear Nice Guy: Of course when a woman hears that you’re “not interested� she will be offended. A compliment it’s not! And a woman who becomes upset and angry if you say you have other plans isn’t

someone you would want to be involved with anyway. Next time try this: “I’m sorry, but I’m NOT AVAILABLE.� It’s the truth – you’re not! Dear Abby: This may seem like a silly question, but what is the proper thing to do if fruit drops on the floor at the grocery store? – Wondering in Columbus, Ga. Dear Wondering: There is no such thing as a silly question. I addressed your query to the manager of a major grocery chain in the Los Angeles area. He said: “Because it is assumed that people wash their fruit at home before eating it, the fallen item should simply be placed on its stand. (Of course, if it has split in two, cracked or been crushed, you should bring it to the attention of an employee working the produce department.)� Now: Speaking as someone who has bought fruit, taken it home and found it to be bruised when I cut into it, it’s my PERSONAL opinion that instead of replacing the fruit in the display, a store employee should be informed so the item can be sold at a discount the next day. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

RALEIGH – Brad Hurley says he appreciates what high-speed rail service will do for Raleigh, but he worries that a new plan for fast trains could kill a downtown corner where he has served beer and oysters for 23 years. “It sounds like ‘pick your poison,’� said Hurley, co-owner of the 42nd Street Oyster Bar at Jones and West streets. Pulsing with pubs and eateries, Jones Street has become a crucial conduit between downtown Raleigh and the thriving Glenwood South district just west of railroad tracks that roll through the city. The state Department of Transportation is evaluating two routes through Raleigh for the Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor, which would give passenger trains a fast new shortcut to Richmond, Va. The proposed new track would cut nearly two hours from train trips between North Carolina and the Northeast. Both Raleigh route options would constrict Jones Street but in dramatically different ways. “It’s a very important decision,� Mayor Charles Meeker said. “On one hand, we want passenger rail service with highspeed trains. On the other hand, we don’t want the downtown to be hard to walk or drive around.�

For the families, Kihm has become more than a doctor. “We have definitely adopted him,� says Valerie Mason, who owns the Village Print shop.

hen identifying fire hazards in the home, the clothes dryer is not where most people start. It’s made of metal, so why would it be a fire hazard? The problem is not what you see, but what goes on in the venting system and lint filter. Dryer fires lead the pack when it comes to appliance fires. FIREHOUSE Figures CHAT for 1998 show that Lee dryers are Knight involved in ■■■15,600 fires, resulting in 20 deaths. When looking at nationwide fire losses and deaths, these numbers are not huge but show the need to perform preventative maintenance on dryers. In fact lack of maintenance is the leading cause of dryer fires. A few simple steps can greatly reduce the chance of a dryer fire. It’s important to clean the lint screen after each load and to check the dryer vent periodically. One sign of a problem with a blocked lint screen or dryer vent is when the drying cycle takes longer than normal. Check the dryer vent at the outside exhaust while the dryer is running. If no air is flowing, you may have a blockage and should contact a qualified service person to clean the duct. Do not allow lint to accumulate around the dryer, and periodically have a qualified service technician service the dryer. Replace plastic or foil accordion-type duct with a rigid or semi-rigid metal duct to increase airflow. The accordion duct traps lint and is more susceptible to kinks, which reduces airflow. When clothes have been exposed to volatile chemicals such as gasoline or cooking oils, wash them more than once to remove the chemicals and hang them to dry, if possible. When using the dryer, select a low heat with a cool down period. Clothes exposed to these types of chemicals have the potential to spontaneously combust. Do not leave them in the dryer or piled in the laundry basket, where heat can build. Shut off the dryer when leaving home to lessen the chance of a fire caused by mechanical failure. Proper maintenance of a dryer is one more way to ensure the safety of your family by making your home as fire safe as possible. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

Young woman has unusual cause of daily headaches

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Daily headaches were making my life difficult. I’m a 34-year-old woman and had no other medical problems. I am not overweight. (I’m sure you would think I am.) I had these headaches for more than six months. I saw many doctors, none of whom could help me. Finally I saw a neurologist, who diagnosed pseudotumor cerebri. The medicine he prescribed is working. I have looked on the Internet for more information and found many citations saying that blindness is a complication of this. Is it? My neurologist didn’t make an issue of this. – H.O.

BLONDIE

B.C.

The literal meaning of “pseudotumor cerebri” is “false tumor of the brain.” The basic problem in this condition is a rise of cerebrospinal fluid pressure in the brain. Brain tumors are the most common cause of such a rise. In this disorder, fluid pressure is high, but there is no brain tumor. A better name for it is idiopathic (cause unknown) intracranial hypertension (high brain fluid pressure). No solid evidence exists for a cause of this syndrome. It’s something that happens to men, children and the elderly, but the largest group affected is women of childbearing age who are on the heavy side. No one has figured out why

this is so. You don’t fit the picture, as you aren’t overweight. HeadHEALTH ache and visual Dr. Paul symptoms Donohue are its two ■■■ prominent signs. The headaches can be severe, not severe, daily or intermittent, and usually are not so distinctive that this diagnosis is promptly singled out. Blindness is a complication. However, treatment eliminates that threat, and you are getting treatment. Acetazolamide (Diamox), a water pill, often is the first choice for treatment. It is used for several other medical conditions. Fortunately, it lowers brain fluid pressure. It’s not the only medicine that works. Some doctors bring down the pressure with a series of lumbar punctures. If medicines or other techniques are not lowering the pressure, then diverting the cerebrospinal fluid though a slender, plastic tube out of the brain and into the abdominal cavity is a safe and effective procedure. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is it possible to shrink the stomach by eating only small meals? I wonder if this would be the same effect as stomach surgery

for weight reduction. – T.R. The stomach shrinks when it’s empty and expands after a meal. It can hold as much as 1 to 1.5 liters (about 1 to 1.5 quarts). Constantly underfilling the stomach shrinks it, but it expands as soon as you increase the amount of food. You’re not likely to obtain a perpetually smaller stomach by eating smaller amounts. The stomach retains its potential to stretch. And you’re not likely ever to attain the small size of a stomach that’s been surgically altered. Dear Dr. Donohue: I attended a lecture on lowering cholesterol through proper eating. The speaker said that shrimp is safe to eat. It doesn’t raise cholesterol. I was sure that shrimp has a fairly high cholesterol count, and I looked it up. It does. Three ounces of shrimp, about 15 pieces, have 166 mg of cholesterol. Was the speaker wrong? – L.B. Shrimp has very little to no saturated fat. Even though its cholesterol count is on the high side, shrimp has little effect on blood cholesterol due to its low content of saturated fat. Saturated fat primes the liver to produce cholesterol. You don’t get that effect with shrimp. The speaker was right.

Christianity colors new ‘Cinderella’ Company founder follows inspiration BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – You may have seen “Cinderella” before, but you haven’t seen this “Cinderella.” Part ballet, part Broadway show, part biblical allegory, Arts Evangelica’s original production of “Cinderella” transforms the classic fairy tale into a story with spiritual implications, in which the beloved heroine receives a bit of divine intervention. “God gave me a vision to do a Christian version of ‘Cinderella,’ ” explains Lisa Kidd, founder and director of Arts Evangelica, a Christian dance studio based at Oak Hollow Mall in High Point. In this production, which will be presented Thursday and Friday evenings at the High Point Theatre, the Fairy Godmother is replaced by Jesus.

“Cinderella has a hard, terrible life – she’s just very broken and kind of loses her hope,” Kidd says. “Jesus comes and takes the broken pieces of her life and sends her to the ball on the wings of angels. She still meets her true love, Prince Charming, but this time it’s her soulmate, the one God chose for her. The story has a lot of neat Christian principles in it.” The production will feature nearly 100 Arts Evangelica students and will star Melissa Russell – a 16-year-old who has trained with the studio since she was 3 – as Cinderella. Prince Charming will be played by guest artist Edward DeShane, a trainee at Ballet Magnificat! in North Jackson, Miss. Kidd wrote the production – which she describes as “a heartwarming story of hope

and redemption” – in January. “It came to me New Year’s Day,” she recalls. “I started writing, and it just flowed out of me. It was an inspiration from God, and I hope it’ll inspire those who see it to have a closer relationship with him.” According to Kidd, this version of “Cinderella” fits perfectly with the mission of Arts Evangelica. “The Lord placed it on my heart to reclaim the arts for his glory, so I’m even reclaiming the fairy tales,” she says. “There might even be a series of taking the famous old fairy tales and putting Jesus in as

REENSBORO – The International Civil Rights Center & Museum this month will host “The Moment, The Music, The Movement,” honoring the 50th anniversary of the desegregation of the F.W. Woolworth lunch counter. The celebration will be held at the Empire Room and the museum, both located in downtown Greensboro, from 1 to 6 p.m. on July 25. Nearly six months after the Greensboro sit-ins commenced, the store’s lunch counter was successfully integrated on July 25, 1960. At the upcoming celebration, the museum will honor four former Woolworth employees – Geneva Tisdale, Susie Morrison, Anetha Jones and Charles Bess – who were selected by store manager Clarence “Curly” Harris to be the first African-American customers served at the store’s lunch counter. By the end of that same week, more than 300 African-Americans would be served there. The museum will also pay tribute to other Woolworth employees, including Ima Edwards and

Participants from the Greensboro sit-ins and those who protested at segregated eating facilities across the Triad are also invited. “It is important that we remember the accomplishments achieved on this day,” said museum chairman and co-founder Melvin “Skip” Alston. “We want to honor these individuals who played such an important and historic role in the sit-in story.

This commemoration will honor them and their families.” The afternoon will feature two main activities at the Empire Room: “A Civil Rights Ecumenical Service” and “Jubilee 2010.” At the service, from 1 to 3 p.m., an assembly of clergy will pray for the museum’s continued growth and development, as well as the nation’s progress and world peace. Vocalists and instrumentalists will perform sacred music and songs identified with the civil rights movement,

and sit-in participants and former F.W. Woolworth employees will be acknowledged for their actions. The afternoon will conclude with “Jubilee 2010” from 3 to 6 p.m., featuring musical highlights from the movement and songs from other eras conveying the spirit of resistance, love of liberty and commitment to social change. The lineup includes Boston’s House of Jazz All-Stars, the Destiny Brothers and R&B recording artist Shanna, among others. The sit-in movement began at the Greensboro lunch counter on Feb. 1, 1960, launching a movement that spread across 54 cities in nine states in six weeks. “If the cold kept you away from the grand opening on Feb. 1, don’t let the heat keep you away from experiencing what a taste of freedom was like on July 25,” said Alston. Admission is free. The museum will also be open for tours of its exhibitions. General admission fees will apply for museum tours. For more information, contact the museum’s meeting and event coordinator, Pam Glass, at (336) 274-9199, Ext. 235, or visit www. sitinmovement.org.

The first transoral robotic surgery in western North Carolina has been performed at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, and all three patients who underwent the first procedures are recovering well, without the complications that follow traditional surgery for the same diagnoses. TORS, a minimally invasive, endoscopic technique, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in December 2009 for removal of early stage (T1 or T2) tumors of the tongue base, throat, larynx and skull base. Traditionally those cancers have been removed through either an incision in the neck or through the mouth, which often requires splitting the lower lip and dividing the jaw. Because tongue-base and throat tumors are difficult to reach through the mouth with conventional surgical instruments, the most common approach has been to remove them through external incisions. These are major operations, and may be painful and disfiguring, with long hospitalizations. Treatment alternatives such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy can have long-lasting side effects, such as swallowing difficulties, stricture formation in the upper esophagus and loss of salivary function. “The TORS procedure allows us to access and remove tumors of the tonsil, tongue base and larynx endoscopically, resulting in a shorter, more comfortable recovery than with traditional surgical techniques,” said Joshua D. Waltonen, M.D., assistant professor of otolaryngology and the surgeon who performed the first TORS at Wake Forest Baptist. “Patients may still need some postoperative radiation, but the dosage of radiation can often be reduced, and chemotherapy may be avoided.

There is money to be made and a personal or professional partnership can be formed that will ensure that whatever you pursue will be handled with ease. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Speak from the heart and don’t be afraid to show your emotions. It’s the human element, coupled with your imaginative and innovative mind, that will capture someone’s attention and lead to an interesting partnership. A change in your cash flow looks positive. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you sit idle, nothing will be accomplished or gained.

The proper handling of card combinations is the nuts and bolts of declarer play. (The “Suit Combinations” entry in the Encyclopedia of Bridge runs to 55 pages.) Today’s North-South easily reach 6NT, but when South sees dummy, he may wish that the jack of diamonds were the jack of clubs. As it is, South has three spades, four diamonds and two clubs. Barring an unlikely squeeze, he needs three heart tricks. South took the ace of spades, led a heart to the ace and returned the nine: ten, jack, queen. As the cards lay, he had no further chance for his slam.

DAILY QUESTION

EXTRA CHANCE

You hold: S A Q 7 H K J 4 2 D K 10 5 2 C A 4. You open 1NT, showing 16 to 18 points, and your partner bids 4NT. What do you say?

South’s play would have been acceptable had dummy’s hearts been A-3, but the presence of the nine makes a difference. South has an extra chance if his first play in hearts is low to the nine. If West has the ten – a 50 percent chance – South is home. When East produces the ten, South is still alive. His A-K will drop the queen later, and his jack will fulfill the slam. This week: card combinations.

ANSWER: Your partner’s 4NT is not the toopopular Blackwood aceasking convention but a “quantitative” raise to invite slam at notrump (just as a raise to 2NT would invite game). Look at your hand again. You have a middling point count, but most of your values are prime, and you have two four-card suits. By all means, bid 6NT. South dealer N-S vulnerable

‘Despicable Me’ tops weekend box office with $60.1M LOS ANGELES (AP) – “Despicable Me” wasn’t such a bad guy after all, it seems, opening at the top of the box office with an estimated $60.1 million. The first 3-D animated movie from Universal Pictures stars Steve Carell as the voice of Gru, a bumbling villain with plans to steal the moon – until three adorable orphan girls enter his life. Jason Segel,

Russell Brand and Julie Andrews are among the star-studded voice cast. The week’s other new release, “Predators,” grossed $25.3 million to open at No. 3. A sequel of sorts to the 1987 sci-fi cult classic “Predator,” the 20th Century Fox film stars Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburne as mercenaries being stalked by alien hunters in the jungle.

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

Dillon ‘Trucks’ to win HPU student takes checkered flag at Iowa

AP

High Point University student Austin Dillon celebrates in victory lane after winning the Lucas Oil 200 NASCAR Truck Series auto race at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa, on Sunday.

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) – The black No. 3 Chevrolet is back in victory lane, because of a precocious rookie who finally took advantage of his considerable promise. Rookie Austin Dillon held off Johnny Sauter in a green-white-checkered finish and picked up his first career win at Sunday’s NASCAR Trucks Series race in Iowa. The 20-year-old Dillon won from the pole, becoming the secondyoungest driver to win a truck series race behind Kyle Busch. It was also the first time the black No. 3 won in any series since Dale Earnhardt’s death in 2001, a fact not lost on the promising Dillon, a student at High Point University. “It’s pretty awesome. Like I’ve said from the beginning of the year, I wanted to do it for the fans too. I know they want to see it out front,” Dillon said. “I’m glad to sit in the No. 3. It’s my favorite number to run, and hopefully I can run it for a long time.” He will if he runs like he did on Sunday, expertly piloting a truck thirdplace finisher Matt Crafton called “stupid fast.” The grandson of longtime NASCAR owner Richard Childress kept his car clean. The top four in the points standings – Todd Bodine, Aric Almirola, Timothy Peters and Ron Hornaday, Jr. – all experienced issues that hampered their shots at catching Dillon. Sauter finished second followed by Crafton, Ken Schrader and James Buescher. Dillon led for 187 laps.

HiToms’ woes continue with 7-0 loss BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

THOMASVILLE – The last thing a team mired in a season-long slump needs is to fall in an early hole. That was merely a sign of things to come Sunday afternoon for the HiToms. Gastonia jumped out to a 20 lead in the top of the first and never looked back en route to a 7-0 Coastal Plain League victory at Finch Field in Thomasville. Seven different Grizzlies logged hits in a 12-hit attack as Gastonia improved to 6-4 in the second half standings, 23-15 overall. The HiToms, meanwhile,

couldn’t get anything going as they staggered to 2-8 in the second half, 12-26 overall. And with the HiToms struggling mightily, the quick deficit was the worst-case scenario. “That’s evident of how our season’s going,” HiToms manager Tom Dorzweiler said. “We didn’t even get the bat on the ball, and it gets frustrating. We work in BP and try to lead them in the right direction, and I’m just at a loss for words.” Matthew Greene reached on a bunt single in the top of the first, then came around to score on Seth Boyd’s double to right center. Dallas Burke followed Austin Potter’s base hit with a safety

squeeze, scoring Boyd from third and setting the tone for the afternoon. HiToms reliever Jonny Hoffman kept the game close with five nice innings of relief, yielding only Potter’s solo home run in the top of the sixth. Trailing 3-0, the home team mounted its only rally in the bottom of the frame. The HiToms loaded the bases with no outs on consecutive singles by Dave Roney, Tanner Mathis and Alex Yarbrough. But Gastonia starter Robert Jeroszko worked his way out of it with a popup, strikeout and groundout to escape unscathed. Putting a couple of runs on the board there could have made a big difference. “That would have been

a one- or two-run ballgame, and gave us a little momentum,” Dorzweiler said. “Maybe spark a little fire or something to get it going.” The Grizzlies didn’t let that happen. They tacked on three runs in the seventh, thanks in large part to a two-run bomb from Boyd. Justin Dunning’s sacrifice fly in the eighth provided the final margin. Tyler Frederick led the HiToms with two hits. Mike Hamann took the loss for Thomasville, which travels to Forest City today. Boyd had three hits to pace Gastonia, and Potter, Zach Luevanos and Kevin Kirksey added two hits apiece. Jeroszko tossed seven innings, allowed six hits and struck out eight to earn the win.

HIT AND RUN

---

A

re you ready for some Major League Baseball All-Star Home Run Derby? Me, neither. Tonight’s slugfest in Anaheim, Calif. will showcase some of the game’s best power hitters. Big deal. Maybe it’s the cloud of steroids over so many of the top home-run hitters of the past 20 years. Perhaps the novelty has worn off. Whatever the reason, I’m just not that into the Home Run Derby anymore. The first Home Run Derby was held in 1985

and won by Cincinnati’s Dave Parker. The event really took off in 1993. That Home Run Derby was televised by ESPN on a tape-delay basis and won by Texas’ Juan Gonzalez. The first live telecast came in 1998 and saw Ken Griffey Jr. capture one of his event-leading three titles. But really, the two most memorable power displays came by players who did not wind up winning the Derby. Mark McGwire slugged some amazing homers in the first round of the 1999 Derby at Fenway Park. But he lost to Jeromy Burnitz

in round two and Griffey Jr. went on to take the crown that year. And in 2008 at Yankee Stadium, Josh Hamilton stole the show with a homer barrage of Ruthian proportions. He slugged 28 home runs in the first round – most between 450 and 500 feet – before ultimately losing to Justin Morneau in the final. That made for some compelling viewing. I doubt we’ll ever approach anything that dramatic again. I’m ready for Tuesday night’s Midsummer Classic already.

WHO’S NEWS

---

Ben Wallace says he’ll sign a two-year contract soon with the Detroit Pistons. Wallace told The Associated Press on Sunday he heard from a lot of teams, but agreed to a twoyear deal about a week ago because he wants to retire with the Pistons. He’ll make $1.9 million each season. Pistons president Joe Dumars said on the first day of free agency that the team’s first order of business was to keep Wallace and restricted free agent Will Bynum. The 35-yearold Wallace was one of Detroit’s best players last season when it missed the playoffs for the first time since 2001. The center helped the Pistons win the 2004 title during his prime when he was the Defensive Player of the Year four times in five years.

---

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) – Pitchers Justin Verlander, Andrew Bailey and Jered Weaver have been added to the American League team for the All-Star game. A couple of spots opened up because of a new rule – pitchers who start on Sunday are ineligible to play in Tuesday night’s game. All-Stars CC Sabathia of the Yankees and Trevor Cahill started Sunday, leaving them out. AL manager Joe Girardi of the Yankees selected Weaver, whose Los Angeles Angels are hosting the All-Star game. Weaver also started Sunday so he can’t play, but he can take part in the festivities and be announced to the home crowd. Verlander became a three-time All-Star.

McAdoo, Beal lead U.S. to Under-17 title HAMBURG, Germany (AP) – James McAdoo, of Norfolk, Va., scored 20 points and tournament MVP Brad Beal of St. Louis added 19 as the United States won FIBA’s Under-17 championship with a 111-80 victory over Poland on Sunday. Michael Gilchrist, of Somerdale, N.J., had 18 points for the U.S. (8-0), which won its games by an average of 34.8 points.

Quinn Cook, of Bowie, Md., had 11 assists for the U.S., which forced Poland (7-1) into 27 turnovers. The U.S. team scored the last 12 points of the first half to take a 58-41 lead. Beal led the U.S. in scoring with an 18.3 average while shooting 47.4 percent from 3-point range (31 of 65). McAdoo, who averaged 15.0 points and 7.3 rebounds, was selected for the alltournament team.

Revered Yankees P.A. man Bob Sheppard dies at 99 NEW YORK (AP) – Bob Sheppard, whose elegant introductions of stars from Joe DiMaggio to Derek Jeter at Yankee Stadium for more than a half century earned him the nickname “The Voice of God,” died Sunday. He was 99. The revered public address announcer died at his Long Island

home in Baldwin with his wife, Mary, at his side, the Yankees said. Sheppard started with the Yankees in 1951 and he last worked at Yankee Stadium late in the 2007 season, when he became ill with a bronchial infection. He recorded a greeting to fans that was played at

the original ballpark’s final game on Sept. 21, 2008, and his audio recording still is used to introduce Jeter before each at-bat at home by the Yankees captain. When the team moved into new Yankee Stadium last year, it honored him by naming the media dining room after him.

Spain rules World Cup at long last JOHANNESBURG (AP) – Spain rules the soccer world, winning the World Cup at long, long last. It came after an exhausting 1-0 victory in extra time over the Netherlands on Sunday. Two years after winning the European title, the stylish Spaniards did even better. This was a physical test of attrition that sometimes turned dirty – a finals-record 13 yellow cards were handed out and the Dutch finished with 10 men. In the end, it was Andres Iniesta breaking free in the penalty area, taking a pass from Cesc Fabregas and putting a right-footed shot from 8 yards just past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg. “When I struck it, it just had to go in,” Iniesta said. For the Dutch and their legions of orange-clad fans wearing everything from jerseys to jumpsuits to clown gear to pajamas, it was yet another disappointment. Even with their first World Cup title tantalizingly within reach, they failed in the final for the third time. This one might have been the most bitter because, unlike 1974 and 1978, the Netherlands was unbeaten not only in this tournament, but in qualifying for the first World Cup staged in South Africa. Soccer City was soaked in Oranje, from the seats painted in that hue throughout the stadium to pretty much everyone seated in them. Unlike when they lost to hosts West Germany and Argentina in previous finals, the Dutch were something of a home team this time. The Spaniards, though, were the winners. “We have all done an incredible job,” Iniesta said. “I don’t think we even realize what we have done.” They had pockets of supporters, too, to be sure, dressed in red and scattered around the stadium. They might have been the minority, but when the final whistle blew, they were tooting their vuvuzelas loudest in tribute to their champions. The goal in the 116th minute came off a turnover by the Dutch defense that Fabregas controlled just outside the penalty area. Iniesta stayed on the right and sneaked in to grab the pass and put his shot to the far post. Stekelenburg barely brushed it with his fingertips as it soared into the net. Iniesta tore off his jersey after the goal and raced to the corner where he was mobbed by teammates.

David Reutimann celebrates with his crew members in Victory Lane after winning the LifeLock 400 at ChicagoLand Speedway in Joliet, Ill., on Saturday night.

Reutimann cruises at Chicagoland JOLIET, Ill. (AP) – The first one might have been lucky. This one was legitimate. David Reutimann blew past Jeff Gordon and cruised to the victory in the Sprint Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday night. For Reutimann and his Michael Waltrip Racing team, it was a polite told-ya-so to fellow competitors – many of whom weren’t shy about saying they didn’t think it counted when Reutimann won a rain-shortened race at Charlotte in May 2009. Reutimann called that win a dark cloud hanging over his head, pausing briefly when he realized he made an unintentional pun. “OK, here you go,” he said. “Just leave me alone. We won the race.” Carl Edwards made a charge in the closing laps, at one point cutting Reutimann’s lead to less than a second, but he couldn’t get close enough and finished second. Gordon was third, followed by Clint Bowyer and Jamie McMurray. It was a rough night for several strong Chase contenders – notably Jimmie Johnson, who dominated the first half of the race but spun out and later scraped the wall to finish 25th.

a half and apologize about winning a race,” MWR general manager Ty Norris said. And Reutimann made it clear he isn’t going anywhere at the end of the season, saying he has a handshake deal with MWR on a new contract. Norris said the team would announce specifics about the futures of Reutimann and crew chief Rodney Childers at the Brickyard 400 later this month. “These guys proved tonight that they deserve a contract,” Norris said. “They deserve to be around.” As Reutimann hunted Gordon down for the lead, his team came on the radio and encouraged him to wait for Gordon to make a mistake. “Are you kidding?” Reutimann joked. “He’s Jeff Gordon. When’s he going to make a mistake?” But Gordon did develop handling problems, allowing Reutimann to take the lead on lap 213. He moved in front again after a cycle of pit stops. It was the 600th career start for Gordon, who joked that he’s beginning to feel a little old. “I do when I get out of that race car and everything aches,” Gordon said. “It didn’t used to be like that.”

Webber wins British GP after incident with Vettel

Spain’s Andres Iniesta (center) holds up the World Cup trophy following the World Cup final soccer match between the Netherlands and Spain at Soccer City in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Sunday. The Spanish won 1-0 in extra time to take their first World Cup championship.

Kevin Harvick entered with momentum and the points lead but struggled all day long, eventually pulling into the garage with engine problems on lap 194. He eventually returned to the race and finished 34th. Harvick still holds a 103-point lead over Gordon in the standings. Greg Biffle also went to the garage with apparent engine problems late in the race and finished 35th. Kyle Busch (17th), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (23rd) and Kurt Busch (26th) also had a rough night. “We are pretty disappointed, (a) little bit devastated about how we ran tonight,” Earnhardt said. “(We’ve) got nobody to blame but ourselves.” Several drivers said they were happy for Reutimann. “We all got to hang out with each other every week, but he’s the guy you’d hang out with if you had an off weekend,” Edwards said. “He’s a good guy.” And as of Saturday night, Reutimann can wave goodbye to any asterisks that were attached to his first career win because of the rain. “I’ve probably not seen anyone have to walk around for a year and

KENT, Wash. (AP) – A drag racing driver has died after he crashed at the NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways outside Seattle. Sixty-year-old Mark Niver of Phoenix was competing in the Top Alcohol dragster class in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing series, the top feeder circuit for the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing series. The NHRA says it’s investigating Sunday’s accident. A spokesman for the association declined comment when asked for more information about what happened, saying the investigation had just started.

SILVERSTONE, England (AP) – Mark Webber cruised to his third Formula One victory of the season Sunday after overtaking Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel on the opening lap of the British Grand Prix. The Australian finished 1.36 seconds ahead of championship leader Lewis Hamilton of McLaren, turning in an immaculate drive at Silverstone after being angered by having to hand over a key car part to Vettel. “Not bad for a No. 2 driver,” Webber quipped over his radio during his victory lap. Nico Rosberg of Mercedes was third. With nine races to go, Hamilton leads the overall standings with 145 points, 12 ahead of McLaren teammate Jenson Button. Webber is third with 128 after becoming the first driver this season to win three races. Vettel is fourth with 121. Webber’s car has been equipped with the old version of Red Bull’s front wing

since qualifying Saturday after the new design was stripped and handed to Vettel, who subsequently took the pole. But Webber led throughout Sunday after pushing Vettel wide on the opening lap, when Vettel also punctured a tire. “I was obviously keen to make it my corner and it worked out well for me,” Webber said. “The car was faultless all day.” But amid the celebrations, Webber made clear his unease at the current situation. “Yesterday, I wasn’t happy clearly,” Webber said. “I would never have signed a contract for next year if I believed this would be the way going forward.” Vettel, who won the British GP last year, had been forced to the back of the field after the early setback. After the safety car emerged on lap 31, Vettel was able to pick up pace and start overhauling his slower rivals and finish seventh.

Armstrong’s Tour hopes ‘finished’ after 8th stage MORZINE, France (AP) – Close the book on the Lance Armstrong era at the Tour de France. He has. The record seven-time champion wrote off his chances of victory in his 13th and last Tour, signaling the beginning of the end of one of the most celebrated and controversial careers in cycling history. The 38-year-old Texan’s hopes for yet another title were dashed Sunday after he got caught in three crashes – one of which brought him down – and struggled to keep up during two tough climbs in Stage 8, the race’s first foray into the Alps. He and his team said his hip got banged up, keeping him from pedaling hard. The stage was won by 25-year-old Andy Schleck of Luxembourg, and Armstrong finished nearly 12 minutes back, in 61st place. World champion Cadel Evans of Australia took the yellow jersey

by finishing 10 seconds behind Schleck, but well ahead of overnight leader Sylvain Chavanel of France. “My Tour is finished,” said Armstrong, who fell to 39th overall. “When it rains it pours I guess,” he said in a Twitter message. “Today was not my day, needless to say. Quite banged but gonna hang in here and enjoy my last 2 weeks.” The race finishes July 25 in Paris. The stage was a poignant, if agonizing, coda to Armstrong’s unlikely bid for an eighth Tour victory in the second year of his comeback after a 31⁄2-year hiatus. In his prime, he made his mark in the mountains, pulling away from his competitors there. Today, he panted and struggled on an Alpine climb, his rivals leaving him far behind.

“During his period of domination, in the first mountain stage in high altitudes, he’d hit hard,” Tour director Christian Prudhomme said. “This is the first time it’s not happened like that.” Those years of domination were also marked by years of suspicion about doping – which he’s denied – including recent allegations by former teammate Floyd Landis. Despite Armstrong’s strong showing in races in Luxembourg and Switzerland this spring for his new RadioShack team, there were questions going into the Tour about his fitness after a crash and because his training was disrupted by a stomach bug. “You can rationally say it’s the end of an epoch, the third version, after the episode of his return from cancer, and his domination,” Prudhomme said. “The third act has certainly taken a different turn.”

Bank closures outpace ’09 rate

Quest to build a better burger garners financial success FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) – With a drive-through seemingly on every corner, you might think the market for burgers long ago reached saturation. But the fastest-growing restaurant chain in America last year was Five Guys, which specializes in double-pattied behemoths the size of a softball. And that’s just the tip of the arugula. So-called “better burger” joints are one of the fastest-growing parts the restaurant industry. Celebrity chef Bobby Flay launched Bobby’s Burger Palace in the Northeast. Elevation Burger is expanding into Kuwait. Mooyah Burgers & Fries, Meatheads and the Shake Shack are looking to expand. Higher-grade beef, fresher or more creative toppings, and better buns are bringing customers in the door.

The Washington, D.C., area has emerged as fertile ground for ground chuck. Five Guys, the earliest success story, is based in Lorton, Va., Elevation Burger in Arlington, BGRThe Burger Joint in Lansdowne. It’s a market that has room to grow. Such chains represent only about 2 percent of the $65 billion burger market, said Darren Tristano, executive vice president of Chicago-based restaurant consultant Technomic. “The traditional players – McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s – have really shifted their focus away from burgers to breakfast, chicken and beverages,” said Tristano. He predicts better burger chains will continue to have double-digit sales growth for at least the next few years.

The founder of Denver-based Smashburger, fast-food industry veteran Tom Ryan, was keenly aware that Americans were hungry for higher-quality fast-food burgers. The company did extensive research with fast-food customers who reported that the burgers they ate were mostly a matter of convenience. “’It’s not the burger I crave; it’s the burger I use,”’ Ryan said. Smashburger has expanded to 70 stores in 15 states in just three years. Customers are willing to pay to ease that craving. A Five Guys burger runs anywhere from $4 to $6, and some charge more. Five Guys, like others, sells the fact that its burgers are never frozen – the stores don’t even have freezers, only coolers. Elevation

Burger uses organic, grass-fed beef and sells fries cooked in olive oil. BGR uses a mix of dry-aged beef. Despite recent success of better burgers, one of the oldest names in the business has fallen on hard times. Fuddrucker’s filed for bankruptcy protection in April. Tristano said he thinks Fuddrucker’s problems resulted from large restaurants with high real estate costs. By contrast, most of the successful better-burger operators locate in low-cost strip malls. It can cost less than $500,000 to open most better-burger franchises, a third of a McDonald’s or Burger King. Mark Bucher, the founder and vice chairman of BGR, said he sees room to expand slowly. “The gourmet burger industry will be survival of the fittest,” Bucher said.

Big changes coming to financial world WASHINGTON (AP) – Big changes are in store for the financial world from a government crackdown more than a year in the making. Democratic leaders in the Senate are trying to secure the final votes needed to pass legislation this coming week that would impose the most sweeping rules on banks and Wall Street since the Great Depression. The financial industry and consumers already are anticipating – in some cases bracing for – the impact. Banks might see their bottom lines suffer. Lenders will have to disclose more information. Borrowers will have to prove their ability to repay. The masters of high finance will find it harder to sidestep regulations. Government watchdogs will be under orders to look more suspiciously at risky behavior.

DILBERT

Not all the changes will occur overnight once Congress gets the legislation to President Barack Obama. Throughout the 2,300-page bill, federal monitors are given one to two years to write the new rules of the road for Wall Street. In some in-

stances, the timing isn’t even specified. Diana Farrell, deputy director of the White House’s National Economic Council, says some adjustments already are under way as big banks re-examine their trading business and prepare for

a new oversight system that will require them to write their own funeral plans in the event of failure. “There is some immediate impact,” said Scott Talbott, senior vice president at the Financial Services Roundtable, an industry group representing some of the bigger banks in the United States. “But it will take about two years before the full impact is felt, before the uncertainty starts to dwindle.” “Overall,” said Travis Plunkett, legislative director of the Consumer Federation of America, “starting with the consumer regulations, this is landmark legislation.” Votes on the bill have broken along highly partisan lines. The House passed it June 30 with only three Republicans voting in support.

NEW YORK (AP) – Regulators on Friday shut down banks in Maryland, Oklahoma and New York, lifting to 90 the number of U.S. bank failures this year. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said it was appointed receiver of Bay National Bank and Ideal Federal Savings Bank, both based in Baltimore. Bay National Bank had $282.2 million in assets and $276.1 million in deposits as of March 31. Ideal Federal Savings Bank had $6.3 million in assets and $5.8 million in deposits. The FDIC also took over Home National Bank in Blackwell, Okla., and USA Bank in Port Chester, N.Y., with $193.3 million in assets and $189.9 million in deposits. With 90 closures nationwide so far this year, the pace of bank failures far outstrips that of 2009, which was already a brisk year for shutdowns. By this time last year, regulators had closed 45 banks. The pace has accelerated as banks’ losses mount on loans for commercial property and development. The number of bank failures is expected to peak this year and be slightly higher than the 140 that fell in 2009. The 2009 failures cost the insurance fund more than $30 billion. Twenty-five banks failed in 2008, the year the financial crisis struck with force, and only three succumbed in 2007.

Chinese firm says U.S. is a bad credit risk BEIJING (AP) – A Chinese firm that aims to compete with Western rating agencies declared Washington a worse credit risk than Beijing in its first report on government debt Sunday amid efforts by China to boost its influence in global markets. Dagong International Credit Rating Co.’s verdict was a break with Moody’s, Standard & Poors and Fitch, which say U.S. government debt is the world’s safest. Dagong said it rated Washington below China and 11 other countries such as Switzerland and Australia due to high debt and slow growth. It warned the U.S. is among countries that might face rising borrowing costs and risks of default. The report comes amid complaints by Beijing

that Western rating agencies fail to give China full credit for its economic strength, boosting borrowing costs – a criticism echoed by some foreign analysts. At June’s G-20 summit in Toronto, President Hu Jintao called for the creation of a more accurate system. Dagong, founded in 1994 to rate Chinese corporate debt, says it is privately owned and pledges to make its judgments impartially. But in a sign of official support, its announcement Sunday took place at the headquarters of the Xinhua News Agency, the ruling Communist Party’s main propaganda outlet. Dagong’s chairman, Guan Jianzhong, said the current Western-led rating system is to blame for the global crisis and Europe’s debt woes.

VW to use more parts from North America BERLIN (AP) – Volkswagen says it’s seeking to use more locally acquired parts in its auto production in North America. CEO Martin Winterkorn told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily newspaper for its Monday edition that it’s not enough to produce cars

in North America, but “we also need to get parts and components from there.” He said the company now buys 70 to 80 percent of such parts in the area. He said VW is planning to make a Jetta developed for the U.S. that will sell for about

$16,000, as well as a Passat station wagon for about $20,000. VW is hiring 2,000 employees at its $1 billion plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., to begin building the new Jetta mid-sized sedan starting in 2011.

FDA to review first of 3 weight loss drugs

AP

Oil containment booms are dragged by a boat skimming the oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in areas of Terrebone Bay near Cocodrie, La., Sunday.

BP happy with new oil-leak effort, but no promises NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Underpromising with hopes of overdelivering, BP said Sunday that it is making progress on what could prove its most effective effort yet to contain the Gulf oil leak, but cautioned that the verdict could be several days away. A new cap being placed atop the gusher is intended to provide a tight seal and might eventually allow the oil giant to capture all the crude leaking from the well for the first time since an April 20 oil rig explosion set off the environmental crisis. But several prior failed

attempts to stop the leak have made BP PLC careful to keep expectations grounded. “We’re pleased with our progress,� said BP senior vice president Kent Wells, who then hastened to add the operation was still expected to last up to six more days. Asked during a conference call if the new cap and collection efforts would end the spilling of oil into the Gulf, Wells said only that BP will capture all the oil “at some point.� Wells said BP may have to bring another vessel back online and add additional collection capacity in or-

der to stop the oil flow altogether. Officials won’t be satisfied the cap is working until they’ve run tests on whether it can withstand the tremendous pressure of oil pushing up from below the seafloor, Wells said. “We’ve tried to work out as many of the bugs as we can. The challenge will come with something unexpected,� he said. The well has been gushing largely unchecked since an old, leaky cap was removed from the wellhead Saturday to make way for the new one.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Dieters, doctors and investors get their first extensive look at the first of a trio of new weight loss drugs this week. The hope is that the new drugs can succeed where many others have failed: delivering significant weight loss without risky side effects. With U.S. obesity rates nearing 35 percent of the adult population, expectations are high for the first new prescription drug therapies to emerge in more than a decade. Even a modestly effective drug has blockbuster potential. None of the three medicines represents a breakthrough in research. Drugmakers have made little headway in understanding and treating the causes of overeating. Two of the drugs submitted for approval simply combine existing drugs – an

anticonvulsant and an amphetamine – but have worrying side effects. The third, a new medication, is safer but less effective. The quest for a blockbuster weight loss drug has been plagued for decades by safety issues. The most notable was Wyeth’s diet pill drug combination fen-phen, which was pulled off the market in 1997 due to links to heart valve damage and lung problems. The FDA is expected to post its review of Vivus Inc.’s pill Qnexa today and will hold a public meeting Thursday to review the data. Orexigen Therapeutics Inc.’s Contrave is set for review in October, and Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s lorcaserin is set for December.
