TRINITY – Trinity officials expect to find out Friday whether the city will be a recipient of a grant from the N.C. Parks and Recreation Fund. Adam Stumb, the city’s planning and zoning administrator, said the city’s first application for a grant of $500,000 was denied in May. City officials, however, are hopeful they will be a recipient in the second allocation of funds. “We are still optimistic,” Stumb said. “We hope we get it this year. If not, when we get comments back from them, we will take another look at our application and see if there is anything we can do better on and if there are any ways to improve.” Last year, the Trinity City Council directed staff to prepare an application for the grant. The application included a parks and recreation master plan, a parks and recreation capital improvement plan, a Center City site park plan and project budget for the plan. The council recently set aside $450,000 toward the park in its 2010-11 fiscal-year budget. According to Stumb, there is quite a bit of interest in Trinity for a park. “From the surveys we did, there was a lot of interest in having a park here at the property,” he said. “There was a lot of interest in not recreational fields, but recreational opportunities – walking trails, kind of passive recreation.” The park is proposed to be located on the site of Trinity City Hall’s property, which is nestled on about 30 acres off N.C. 62. The park would include a playground, walking trails and picnic shelters. Stumb previously said the city’s chances to receive the grant are good because Trinity has never sought a grant through the N.C. Parks and Recreation Fund. “You get the most points for your first application,” he said. “That doesn’t guarantee you, but you get a higher priority than say Archdale or Greensboro.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

FORESTDALE REZONING

HIGH POINT – A new rule regarding overdraft protection on debit cards may provide more transparency to bank operations, but it will require some effort on a consumer’s end, local bankers say. Effective July 1 for new customers and Aug. 15 for existing customers, banks must have consent to provide overdraft protection on a debit card or ATM transaction regardless of whether a customer has used overdraft plans in the past. If consent isn’t given, the card will be denied

Planners side with residents to return single-family status BY JORDAN HOWSE ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

JAMESTOWN – Residents of a Jamestown neighborhood made their appeal of a 2009 rezoning, and the town planners were listening. The residents of the Forestdale neighborhood and their supporters filled the meeting room of the Planning and Zoning Board Monday night to save their neighborhood, which was rezoned to commercial use in 2009. After listening to residents, the board voted to recommend the Town Council return the neighborhood to its singlefamily residential status. “We have to support the town as it is in order to keep a community this precious,” said board member Eddie Oakley. “Anyone put in the position of state or local government have to put aside their personal opinions and represent the will of the people,” said Forest-

dale supporter Chris Mattern. Residents of the Forestdale neighborhood say they did not realize until recently that the

‘We have to support the town as it is in order to keep a community this precious.’ Eddie Oakley Jamestown Planning and Zoning Board city had rezoned parts of the neighborhood from single-family to commercial and mixed-use zoning, 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 Planning and Zoning Board, said rezoning of the area was a three-year process and that 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. But Forestdale residents say they were caught off guard by the rezoning because of the way the city notifies residents of pending ordinance updates and changes to zoning district maps. “In the future we will definitely make sure that all residents are informed,” said alternate board member Jennifer Pruitt. “We’ve gotten up the first step,” said Mary Dalton, a Forestdale resident. Residents and their supporters say they will attend a July 20 public hearing with the Town Council, which will have final say on the issue. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

Banks prepare customers for new overdraft rules BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

STAYING FIT: Guilford school officials look at grant. 2A

once the account limit has been reached. “If customers want to keep their banking the way it is, they can’t not do anything,” said Treva Burchette, vice president of retail banking at High Point Bank and Trust. “We need them to respond. That’s what makes this one a little bit different.” The Federal Reserve implemented the rule after protests about soaring overdraft fees emerged in recent years, according to the Associated Press. Overdraft protection is usually linked to an overdraft fee for each item purchased after the account’s

limit has been exceeded. But the new rule will extend more transparency to customers, who usually have to qualify to be enrolled in overdraft plans, and let them know exactly what they’re getting when it comes to overdraft protection, said Peter Seitz, a vice president and compliance officer for First Bank. “Until five or six years ago, when debit cards became popular, banks focused these programs on checks,” Seitz said. “Ten years ago, if you wrote a check for more than what you had in the bank, it was up to the bank to de-

cide if they would pay it or not. It was really based on how much you knew your banker. Now, we’re telling people up front how much leeway they have. That’s the spirit this is coming from.” Luckily, making the decision about overdraft protection isn’t difficult. Institutions like High Point Bank have been preparing for the change for months, sending out informational pieces in the mail and electronic newsletters to alert their customers, Burchette said. “The good news is that anyone can change their mind at any time,” she

said, noting that customers could call the bank or, in the case of most banks, look for a form in the mail to fill out and return. And if there is any effect to be seen, that probably will take place in August when existing customers find their overdraft plans no longer work if they haven’t filled out the form, Seitz said. “People who don’t send in the form and have in the past relied on this coverage are going to be surprised when they buy something at the mall and get declined,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

NC congressman won’t support offshore drilling

Man shot by officers during traffic stop hospitalized, faces charges FROM WXII-12 NEWS

LEXINGTON – Lexington police officers were involved in a shooting that happened during what they called a routine traffic stop at the corner of Spring and Virginia drives early Monday morning. Police said a man, who was wounded, was taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center for treatment. Police Chief John Lollis told the television station the man will be arrested after he is released from the hospital. His name wasn’t identified, but officials said he

was shot three times, once each in the arm, leg and stomach. Officials with the State Bureau of Investigation said he is expected to recover from his injuries. No officers involved in the shooting were injured. “He was laying on his face at first, and then they put large bandages on back,” witness Jim Mitchell told WXII-12 News. “And then they turned him over and put more wraps on him, and I could see the blood coming out from the front.” In another earlier case, police responded to a report of an armed robbery at a nearby Son-

ment, including bicycles and climbing walls. The grant objectives also align with the district’s strategic plan to use technology to promote health literacy and the improved physical and mental health of all children. Guilford County has received a two-year Eat Smart, Move More N.C. Community Grant to fund local physical activity projects targeting youth ages 9 to 14. Also, the state’s obesity prevention plan emphasizes healthy strategies such as adding walking paths in neighborhoods or around schools, or changing what foods a school can serve both at lunch and for afterschool snacks.

ic restaurant at about 1:50 a.m. According to WXII-12 News, police won’t say if the two incidents are related, but Maj. Tad Kepley said officers were searching for three men in the robbery. The shooting happened as officers were canvassing the area following the robbery at the Sonic. Agents said the robbers didn’t get away with much money. Kepley also said agents with the SBI had been called in to investigate the shooting, which is the protocol whenever a law enforcement officer is involved in a shooting in North Carolina.

WILMINGTON (AP) – A North Carolina congressman said Monday that he won’t support offshore drilling until the cause of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is fully understood. Rep. Mike McIntyre made the comments during an oil spill preparedness meeting at the New Hanover County Emergency Operations Center in Wilmington. McIntyre said environmental concerns and safety precautions must be taken before he’d support any drilling off North Carolina’s coast. Local, state and federal agencies spent the morning discussing plans if oil from the Gulf spill hits North Carolina’s shores. Officials say they have reviewed and updated cleanup plans and

are talking with their counterparts in the Gulf. North Carolina is also sending representatives to the Gulf states in the coming weeks to tour the area and learn about response techniques being used there. Dr. Michael Voiland, executive director of NC Sea Grant College Program, displayed several maps showing how the oil has been dispersed in the sea. He said any oil that reaches North Carolina will wash up as tar balls or oil-soaked seaweed – not the huge sheens seen in the Gulf. So far, oil is a long way from the state. It has yet to seep into the Loop Current along Florida’s coast, which could whisk oil into the Gulf Stream current that runs along the east coast.

Severe weather leads to flood warnings

A man exits the Wachovia Bank on the corner of South Main and Pleasant Hill Road in Harrisonburg, Va., on Monday, with his hands in the air and duct tape strapped around his mid-section. Police say the incident was not a hostage situation and it is not known if the man had intended to rob the bank or had some other motive.

Man who claimed to have bomb at bank in custody HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) – A man who walked into a Harrisonburg bank claiming to have an explosive device strapped around his waist is in police custody. City police spokeswoman MaryHope Vass says the man was taken into custody Monday afternoon.

Vass says the incident was reported at 9:18 a.m. Employees of the downtown Wachovia Bank were able to walk out unharmed. Authorities say the item attached to the man was determined not to be an explosive device. The sheriff’s department, state

police, firefighters and rescue officials, and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also responded. Vass says she didn’t know if the man was attempting to rob the bank. No charges were filed as of Monday evening.

Dropout rate shrinks in Davidson schools BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the 2009-10 school year, Davidson County Schools made substantial improvements to its dropout rate when compared to two years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made a significant decline in our dropout figures last year,â&#x20AC;? said Sandi Lee, assistant su-

perintendent for curriculum and instruction, who recently presented the report to the Davidson County Board of Education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;... When you make that kind of drop in one year, you worry about sustaining it.â&#x20AC;? For the 2007-08 school year, the system had 424 potential dropouts, which was 6.89 percent of Davidson County Schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; net

enrollment. During the 2008-09 school year, the system had 288 potential dropouts, or 4.74 percent of the net enrollment. For the 2008-09 school year, Davidson County Schools had 269 dropouts or 4.48 percent of the net enrollment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of schools did show a decrease,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. Lee said the students were categorized as po-

tential dropouts because some of them may have returned to school. Lee said she was especially proud of the improvements at South Davidson and West Davidson high schools. She pointed out that South Davidson High school went from 56 potential dropouts at the closure of the 2007-08 school year to 18 at the end of the 2009-10 school year.

East Davidson High had 66 potential dropouts at the end of the 2007-08 school year. For the 200910 school year, the school recorded 45 dropouts. Ledford High had 41 potential dropouts for the 2007-2008 school year and 29 potential dropouts at the end of the 2009-10 school year. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Trio charged in beating, robbery MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A jilted girlfriend and two of her friends face assault and robbery charges after authorities say they beat the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-beau with a metal pipe and stole his money. Lt. Detective Dan Shook of the McDowell County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office charged the following people with felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, felony common law robbery, felony conspiracy and misdemeanor injury to personal property: 27year-old Rachel Anne Davis-Gross of Drums Inlet Drive in Marion, 24-year-old Brian Matthew Harp of State Street in Marion and 18-year-old Dustin Ray Hollifield of Drums Inlet Drive in Marion. Davis-Gross and Hollifield were taken into custody in lieu of $30,000 bonds and Harp in lieu of a $100,000 bond. Shook stated that the victim, Thomas Lunsford of Marion, and Davis-Gross were romantically involved and just recently broke up. She told some of her friends, including Harp and Hollifield, that Lunsford had assaulted her, according to the detective. Shook added that Davis-Gross called Lunsford and set up a meeting with him at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday at Marion Christian Academy. The trio and some of their other friends showed up to meet Lunsford. The lieutenant said Harp beat the victim to the ground with a metal pipe and Hollifield kicked him. The three then took Lunsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wallet containing $180 and damaged the vehicle Lunsford was operating.

After her arrest this morning, Butler told a Wake magistrate that she and the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father were not together, but described him as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a crazy baby fatherâ&#x20AC;? who did not want the child and urged her to put it up for adoption. Butler told the magistrate that â&#x20AC;&#x153;in order to get him off her backâ&#x20AC;? she â&#x20AC;&#x153;randomlyâ&#x20AC;? dialed a telephone number

and left a message, indicating the child was for sale. Butler also told the magistrate that she has an ongoing case with the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s child protective services agency that involves her two older children. Butler told the magistrate that she no longer has custody of the older children because she signed custodial rights over to

their grandmother last week. Police were unavailable this afternoon to comment on the case. Butler, a native of Washington, D.C., has a prior criminal history in Wake County that includes convictions for misdemeanor larceny, probation violation, misdemeanor assault inflicting serious injury and breaking and entering, state records show.

It’s time to get U.S. troops out of Afghanistan Can Americans now believe that $5.5 billion a month of our tax dollars is now going into Afghanistan to establish so-called democracy. Now, sources with “Meet The Press” (the television commentary program) have discovered that almost half of that goes to warlords ( the Taliban ). They’ve also learned that much is stolen off the top by the cronies of the Afghan leader Hamid Karzai that former President Bush placed into power. What in the world is wrong America? Get off your sofas. Forget Sarah Palin’s Tea Parties and hit the streets, and like Vietnam demand to get our men and women out of that (well, I can’t say it here). Another question: How can you rebuild what was never built to start with? This makes me sick to hear these poor, duped people that sadly say, “We support the troops.” Well, that’s wonderful! But if we really support our troops, get them the heck out of those horrible dirt holes. WAYNE S. SWANSON II High Point

Prepare, respond; don’t overreact n the day the Obama administration issued a new moratorium on offshore drilling in light of a recent court ruling adversely affecting Obama’s original pronouncement after the BP oil spill, it’s interesting that a North Carolina member of Congress imposed his own moratorium on offshore drilling. U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre, D-7th, made it clear during a meeting of state officials Monday in Wilmington that he will not support any drilling off North Carolina shores until more is known about the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico. While drilling under certain circumstances using tried-and-true drilling methods and equipment in shallow water would seem to be acceptable, McIntyre’s moratorium is a blanket rejection of all methods and equipment types for offshore drilling. We see McIntyre’s position as a bit overreactive. Sure, the BP spill must be thoroughly investigated, but that doesn’t mean all offshore drilling activities should come to a screeching halt indefinitely. Of course, drilling for oil off the N.C. coast isn’t our favorite plan for ensuring the nation’s energy future. (We prefer more development of solar and nuclear energy sources.) But we don’t see delaying moves toward drilling with proven methods and equipment at more shallow depths than the BP deep-water drilling project. McIntyre’s comments came during an oil spill preparedness meeting of state and local officials in Wilmington. They were reviewing and updating plans for action if the oil in the Gulf were to reach North Carolina. They also said North Carolina is sending representatives to the Gulf to tour the area and learn about response techniques being used. Planning to deal with such an occurrence is fine, if costs for such education and preparation are kept under control during these tough budget times the state is experiencing. That’s especially true in regard to this particular oil spill because the chance of any oil affecting North Carolina is less than 1 percent, McIntyre also said during the meeting. Let’s just hope the state doesn’t overreact in this situation, as McIntyre has done.

An independent newspaper

Hartsell, others surely failed this test of freedom

long-running dispute over control of hydroelectric plants, lakefront property and the flow of the Yadkin River mutated a few days ago into a momentous test of the freedom of the press. It’s a test that most North Carolina politicians, Democrats and Republicans, failed miserably. Sen. Fletcher Hartsell is a Republican who maintains close ties with the Democratic majority and thus chairs a Senate judiciary committee. Hartsell has been a key supporter of a plan for the state to assume control of four dams and 38,000 acres of land owned by Alcoa in Davidson, Davie, Montgomery, Rowan, and Stanly counties. I don’t much like the state’s takeover plan, which will cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars and accomplish no public purpose of which I am aware. But you don’t have to share my concerns to condemn Hartsell’s high-handed tactics. Last week, his committee issued subpoenas to UNC-TV demanding that it immediately turn over “all footage (including all interviews, B-roll and camera masters) in your possession regarding the Alcoa Corporation’s activities in Stanly County.” Hartsell knew that UNC-TV had done reporting on the Alcoa controversy. But since the station had yet to run its stories and the 2010 legislative session was about to end, Hartsell apparently feared that the stories would come too late to call attention to his takeover bill. So he engineered the seizure of UNC-TV’s unaired stories and supporting materials. If you thought that the prospect of a legislative committee issuing commands to a supposedly independent news organization would provoke widespread outrage and condemnation, you were wrong. Some reporters were, indeed, bothered by the actions of Hartsell and his colleagues.

The national organization for statehouse reporters, CapitolBeat, issued a statement condemning the subpoenas. But by and large, the media reaction was surprisingly tame. As for other North Carolina politicians, they either OPINION ducked the issue or sided with Hartsell. Among them was John Gov. Beverly Perdue, whose Hood office told Carolina Journal ■■■ that the operating principle here was government transparency. Because UNC-TV is a state-owned station, her press office insisted that “any information deemed to be a public record would be turned over.” I assume that if the Legislature had subpoenaed a private TV station to obtain access to reporting not yet aired, the backlash would have been blistering. But because UNC-TV is a state agency, an arm of the university system, some apparently think its newsroom is deserving of less protection. I don’t think that’s a reasonable reading of existing law. It’s also a dangerous precedent. It threatens the independence not only of public television but also of public radio and student-run newspapers on UNC campuses. My preferred solution would be to privatize UNC-TV – move its operations and assets into a nonprofit, which is the way public TV operates in other states. In the meantime, North Carolina politicians and journalists of all stripes should snap to attention, unite as one voice, and tell Fletcher Hartsell and his Senate colleagues that their thuggish tactics will not be tolerated in a free society.

Taliban attacks increasingly kill Afghan civilians

New al-Qaida threat

KABUL, Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Taliban insurgents are carrying out more attacks this year than at any time since early in the war, killing increasing numbers of civilians as U.S.-led forces push into the militantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; southern strongholds, an Afghan rights group said Monday. International troops were responsible for about one-fifth of civilian deaths â&#x20AC;&#x201C; down from previous years, thanks to restrictive rules of engagement that some soldiers feel put their own lives at risk.

N.Korea, UN Command to meet over sinking SEOUL, South Korea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Military officers from North Korea and the American-led U.N. Command will hold rare talks today on the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship, the command said, their first meeting since the incident dramatically raised tensions on the Korean peninsula. An international investigation concluded in May that North Korea torpedoed the vessel Cheonan, killing 46 sailors.

Israeli report: Flotilla raid planning flawed TEL AVIV, Israel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Flawed intelligence-gathering and planning led to Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s botched and deadly raid on a Gaza-bound protest flotilla, with security forces underestimating the potential for violence, said the official report released Monday. The report, however, praised the commandos who took part in the operation, saying they were justified in opening fire and killing nine after being confronted by violent pro-Palestinian activists on board one of the ships.

Fidel Castro back in view on Cuban TV HAVANA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fidel Castro appeared relaxed and lucid in his most prominent television interview in years Monday, though he spoke slowly and with a raspy voice in an appearance that thrust him back in the limelight after a long time spent out of public view. The 83-year-old former president talked about the conflict between North and South Korea at the start of the broadcast of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mesa Redondoâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Round Tableâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a daily Cuban talk show on current events.

Somali group claims twin bombings in Uganda that left 74 dead KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; East Africa saw the emergence of a new international terrorist group Monday, as Somaliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dangerous al-Qaidalinked militia claimed responsibility for the twin bombings in Uganda that killed 74 people during the World Cup final. The claim by al-Shabab, whose fighters are trained by militant veterans of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, resets the security equation in East Africa and has broader implications worldwide.

Al-Shabab, an ultraconservative Islamic group that has drawn comparisons to the Taliban, has long threatened to attack outside of Somaliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borders, but the bombings late Sunday are the first time the group has done so. Officials said 60 Ugandans, nine Ethiopians, one American, one Irish woman, and one Asian were among those killed. Two people couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be identified. Eighty-five people were wounded.

BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hopes that Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliament could convene this week fell apart Monday as the country stumbled into month five with no new government and the prime minister hitting a brick wall with his nominal Shiite allies, some of whom deeply oppose him staying in his post. The heads of the main political blocs met Monday in the latest attempt to find common ground, but with no resolution on filling top posts in sight, they decided to delay the next session for two weeks, acting parliament speaker Fouad Massoum said. That means more backroom negotiations as Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki tries to

Police: 3 dead, 4 hurt in Albuquerque shooting ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A former employee opened fire at an Albuquerque fiber optics manufacturer Monday, killing two people and wounding four others before turning the gun on himself in what police called a domestic violence dispute. The shooting at Emcore Corp. appeared to involve the 37-year-old gunmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend, police Chief Ray Schultz said. It was not immediately clear whether she was among the dead. Chaos unfolded as the gunman opened fire, sending employees fleeing for cover as police locked down the entire neighborhood. Police were alerted to the shooting shortly before 9:30 a.m. Five officers were inside the building within three minutes, Schultz said. The Emcore campus was surrounded by police cars, many arriving with sirens wailing, as helicopters circled overhead. The chief called the Emcore campus â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very secure facilityâ&#x20AC;? and said it appeared the gunman forced his way into the building and entered sev-

Bernalillo County Sheriff officers drive toward Emcore Corp., a fiber optics manufacturer, Monday, in Albuquerque, N.M. Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz said the suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend worked in the building. eral areas. Schultz said detectives and FBI agents were reviewing surveillance video. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a large and complex shooting scene,â&#x20AC;? he said. Schultz said one victim who confronted the gunman was found dead outside the building. The other victims included the gunman, who was found

inside, and a person who died at University Hospital. Schultz said the gunman carried a handgun, and investigators were trying to determine if there were additional weapons. No victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names have been released, and an investigation was continuing. Schultz said the gunman

and his girlfriend had children who live in Rio Rancho and said the youths were taken into custody by â&#x20AC;&#x153;another agency.â&#x20AC;? The chief said there was at least one previous domestic violence call involving the gunman but that it was outside Albuquerque. He said 226 people were

transported by bus from Emcore buildings to a community center, where detectives interviewed them. Employees also were offered grief counseling and treatment for asthma or diabetic conditions. Schultz initially said six were dead, then explained at a news conference later that the responding officers had seen people down and believed they were dead, then continued into the building to search for the gunman. He characterized it as standard practice when a crime scene could have an active shooter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You work to get the shooter contained, then you triage the victims. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happened here,â&#x20AC;? Schultz said.

Mate piloting tug that hit duck boat takes 5th PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Coast Guard says a crew member refusing to talk to federal investigators about a fatal duck boat crash in Philadelphia was piloting the tug that slammed into the duck boat. The National Transportation and Safety Board says the mate â&#x20AC;&#x153;exercised his Fifth Amendment right and refused to meet with investigatorsâ&#x20AC;? over the weekend. U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Todd Gatlin tells The Associated Press the mate was on duty as the tug pushed a 250foot barge up the Delaware River. The NTSB says the duck boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew said radio calls to the tug â&#x20AC;&#x153;received no response.â&#x20AC;? The agency says the tugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew consisted of a captain, the mate, an engineer and two deckhands.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Deepsea robots swarmed around BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruptured oil well Monday in a delicately choreographed effort to attach a tighter-fitting cap that could finally stop crude from gushing into the Gulf of Mexico nearly three months into the crisis. Video of the billowing brown oil leak showed glimpses of yellow equipment and swinging robot arms engaged in a project akin to building a giant Lego tower underwater. BP officials said that the 18-foothigh, 150,000-pound metal cap

should be attached on Monday but that they will have to test and monitor the equipment for two days to see if it can throttle the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst offshore oil spill. Late Monday afternoon, the cap was being lowered into place and was just 40 feet away from the top of the well. From the White House to Gulf Coast marinas and town halls, all eyes were on the slow, deliberate process a mile below the sea. President Barack Obama is getting repeated updates, his adviser David Axelrod said. Residents on the coast were skeptical, though,

Obama to unveil HIV strategy WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Obama administration will announce a new national strategy for combatting HIV and AIDS today, aimed at stopping new infections and increasing access to care for people living with the virus. The strategy calls for reducing the rate of new HIV infections by 25 percent over the next five years, and for getting treatment to 85 percent of patients within three months of their diag-

nosis, according to a source who advised the administration on the report. Widely considered to be the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first comprehensive national strategy on HIV and AIDS, the report is the result of more than a year of discussions between the administration, state and local officials, advocacy groups and the private sector. While the strategy does call for improved coordination among federal

agencies, the source who advised the administration said it does not identify any new government funding to implement the strategy, an oversight the source said could hamper progress in meeting the new benchmarks. The new policy will concentrate HIV prevention efforts at the highestrisk populations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which include gay and bisexual men, as well as black Americans.

But the newer, tighter cap will enable BP to capture all the oil and funnel it up to ships on the surface if necessary.

Guilford earns perfect score for openness BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – What are the chances of getting financial information about that neighborhood school project? It could be easier than you might think. Guilford County government received a perfect 100 percent score recently in a Campbell University research project testing how well county governments responded to requests for school construction project financial information. For a perfect score, the county had to reply in about two weeks. Guilford

SCORES

—

Survey responses: Forty-two counties responded by sending some, but not all of the records requested, and 26 responded, but sent none of the requested items. Seven counties failed to respond. Triad: Davidson County, 50 percent, county and schools officials; Randolph, 75 percent, both; Alamance 100 percent, both; Rockingham, 50 percent, both; Forsyth County, 0.

was one of 25 counties to score 100 percent. “It would be nice to get a 100 percent score from all counties, but we know county officials are busy and there are other reasons for them not responding,” said commu-

nications professor Ed Johnson. Students in Johnson’s Quantitative Research Methods class sent the requests. One student asked Guilford officials for records on carpet and floor tile projects in vari-

ous schools, said Martha Rogers of the county’s internal audit department. The county finance department replied. The letters were addressed to the chairman of the board of commissioners and school board chairman in each county as well as to the county manager and superintendent of schools. The return address was a post office box. “We wanted students to represent a John Doe or Jane Doe request,” Johnson said. Johnson said Guilford’s grade was upgraded to 100 percent from a lower score because county officials did not have the final project re-

port requested. No school district reply was listed in the research report. “We sent them everything we had that they wanted,” Rogers said. “That should be 100 percent.” Officials in several counties soon determined that the letters were linked to a research project, Johnson said, and contacted state offices. “A number of counties did not provide a final local report. We received a state report instead to meet the reporting requirement,” Johnson said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

HIGH POINT – More shifts have occurred in High Point’s restaurant scene in recent days. The Burger King fastfood restaurant at 2757 S. Main St. has been torn down, with signs indicating that it is “closed for construction.” The restaurant closed about two weeks ago and was torn down last week. According to High Point’s planning department, a permit to rebuild has been filed, indicating a Burger King will be rebuilt in the same spot. While it appears that property owners of the restaurant chose to rebuild instead of remodel, planners said the owners still could change plans and file for other options. There was no word on when the restaurant would be completed, and Burger King’s corporate headquarters did not return calls for comment on Monday. Also changing on the restaurant front is the relocation of Crossroads Restaurant, which opened in January at 10210 N. Main St.

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

This is all that remains of the Burger King located on S. Main Street and Fairfield Avenue. The franchise owners plan to rebuild. in Archdale. The restaurant is moving the space formerly occupied by Mama Mia’s at 1801 Westchester Drive in High Point. Jim Clary, owner of the restaurant with his wife, Jeanne, said the move occurred because of an unfortunate circumstance that turned out to be a blessing.

“For various reasons, we were unable to renew our lease (at the previous location),” he said. “It has become a blessing for us because we live here in Emerywood, so it’s a lot closer to our home now, and a lot of our supporters live here. The location is great, and it’s on a busy

street. We have outdoor seating now.” The restaurant will probably open July 20, Clary said, and will serve lunch and dinner and seat 230 people. No major menu changes will occur. “We’re still focused on serving the Lord, and

we’re still casual dining,” he said. The full-service bar that was operated at Mama Mia’s also will be converted into a dessert bar because Crossroads does not serve alcohol, Clary said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Thomasville may join High Rock restoration BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville officials may join an effort with several other local governments to improve water quality in High Rock Lake. The Thomasville City Council on Monday night will consider a memorandum of understanding with Davidson County, the cities of High Point and Lexington and the towns of Midway and Wallburg to improve conditions in their common watershed

areas that discharge into High Rock Lake. “What this memorandum of understanding says is that we understand that we are part of a watershed and that we hold a responsibility for the water quality at High Rock Lake,” Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver said. “It says that we as a group understand that we have those responsibilities already, but we are forming a partnership that we all know what each other is doing. “We will communicate with High Point. We will

communicate with the county. We will communicate with the others of what actions we are taking to improve water quality or prevent water quality issues in the basin.” The city of Lexington and the towns of Midway and Wallburg have yet to approve the memorandum. The agreement, approved by the High Point City Council in May, allows each government to terminate its participation by providing a 60day written notice. The memorandum, which is

a five-year agreement between the local governments, states that the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources has determined High Rock Lake to be impaired and unable to fully support biological life due to water quality violations. The local governments “share a unified vision for the ongoing restoration, preservation, and maintenance of water quality in the High Rock Lake watershed through consistency in planning, development and manage-

Gospel singer Hawkins dies RIPON, Calif. (AP) – Walter Hawkins, a Grammy Award-winning gospel singer, composer and pastor from Oakland, died Sunday. He was 61. Hawkins, who was battling pancreatic cancer, passed away at his home in Ripon, Calif., his older brother Edwin Hawkins said. “Today, I lost my brother, my pastor, and my best friend,” said Edwin Hawkins. “Bishop Hawkins suffered bravely but now he will suffer no more and he will be greatly missed.” Born in Oakland, Hawkins studied for his divinity degree at the University of California, Berkeley. While at the university, he recorded his first album titled “Do Your Best” in 1972. The next year, Hawkins became a pastor and founded the Love Center Church in Oakland, where he also formed a choir. In the 1980s, Hawkins recorded a number of albums and earned nine Grammy Award nominations, according to and family representative Bill Carpenter. His “The Lord’s Prayer” won a Grammy in 1980 and he also performed on the televised Grammy Awards ceremony.

Comic book pioneer Pekar found dead CLEVELAND (AP) — Harvey Pekar, whose autobiographical comic book series “American Splendor” portrayed his unglamorous life with bone-dry honesty and wit, was found dead at home early Monday, authorities said. He was 70. The cause of death was unclear, and an autopsy was planned, officials said. Pekar had prostate cancer, asthma, high blood pressure and depression, said Michael Cannon, a police captain in suburban Cleveland Heights. Officers were called to Pekar’s home by his wife about 1 a.m., Cannon said. His body was found on the floor be-

in good spirits, his wife told police. Pekar took a radically different track from the superhero-laden comics that had dominated the industry. He instead specialized in the lives of ordinary people, chronicling his life as a file clerk in Cleveland and his relationship with his third wife, Joyce Brabner. His 1994 graphic novel, “Our Cancer Year,” detailed his battle with lymphoma. The dreary cover scene shows him sprawled beside his wife on a snowy curbside with shopping bags on the ground. “Harvey, forget about the groceries, honey. Let’s get you inside first,” she says.

Tax delinquents up 67 percent Money owed to state tops $800 million CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unpaid taxes total more than the $800 million shortfall that legislators had to balance in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new $19 billion budget. The delinquencies totaling $841 million are 67 percent higher than a year ago, The Charlotte Observer reported Monday. The General Assembly

Former Mebane town council member William R. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hupman Jr. tops the list of debtors, owing the state $2.2 million in unpaid taxes. slashed spending and jobs across state government in the state budget that took effect this month. More cuts could come in a few months if Congress doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliver

$519 million in federal Medicaid money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely money that we could use,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Paul Luebke, D-Durham Democrat, who chairs the tax-writing House Finance Committee. More than a half-million individual and corporate taxpayers owe money. They include at least 28 individuals and six companies, each owing more than $100,000. The increase in unpaid taxes is due less to the bad economy than to better ways the state Revenue Department has of identifying delinquents, spokeswoman Beth Stevenson said. But due in part to budget

cuts, the department has 17 vacancies in its collections division. That represents 7 percent of the collections staff. The tax agency hopes to recover $220 million by garnishing paychecks and has reached payment agreements for another $130 million, Stevenson said. But about $110 million of the $840 million is simply uncollectable, she said. Former Mebane town councilman William R. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;? Hupman Jr. tops the list of debtors. The former president of MebTel Communications owes the state $2.2 million in unpaid taxes. He did not

immediately return calls to The Associated Press on Monday. Former NFL and North Carolina State University football player Koren Robinson of Cary is third on the list, owing nearly $500,000. He did not return a call to The AP left at a number listed in his name. The newspaper said neither man could be reached for comment.

Man schemes to relive his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;glory daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; without wife

ear Abby: My husband started exercising, is now on a strict diet and listening to love songs from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s. He has never been interested in these things before. I overheard him on the phone talking about going to his high school reunion this summer, 400 miles away. When I asked him why he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mentioned it to me, he said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not invited. I was shocked. Then he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going with three of his old â&#x20AC;&#x153;buddies.â&#x20AC;? I asked if their wives were going and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re divorced, but have girlfriends.â&#x20AC;? My husband is now giving me the silent treatment. He has a history of keeping things from me, but never anything like this. This is his 50th reunion, and the first one he has ever wanted to go to. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sick about it. What do you make of all this? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Heartsick in Oregon Dear Heartsick: I make of it that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust your husband because he tries to sneak things past you and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t upfront about this from the beginning. If he had said he was planning to attend, and that he and three of his old buddies wanted to pretend they were teenagers again, you might have felt differently. Because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, I can see why you would find the situa-

tion threatening. Since you seem to have trouble communicating ADVICE your feelings to Dear each other, Abby some sesâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; sions with a marriage counselor might help you reach a better understanding. P.S. While heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone, arrange to do something fun with some of your women friends. A girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; weekend might be a pleasant diversion, and at this point you need one. Dear Abby: I left my wife for a much younger woman two years ago. Despite what my ex-wife says, it was not a midlife crisis. I was very unhappy with my wife and our marriage. Our divorce has been final for seven months â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m beginning to wonder if it will ever truly be â&#x20AC;&#x153;final.â&#x20AC;? My girlfriend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nicole,â&#x20AC;? is anxious for us to be married and start building a life together. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still overwhelmed from how unbelievably painful the whole divorce process has been, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin to think about getting married again at the moment. I have told Nicole that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not ready and I need some time. She says Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

â&#x20AC;&#x153;stringing her along,â&#x20AC;? and even though she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have kids, she still feels her clock is ticking for finding an acceptable mate. It has reached the point where Nicole says she is going to leave me if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit to marrying her. What is a reasonable time to expect someone to recover and be emotionally ready to remarry after an extremely bitter divorce? And what do you suggest? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Still Healing in Washington Dear Still Healing: Some people are ready to remarry within months of a divorce. For others, the healing process can take years. I suggest you call Nicoleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bluff. She is anxious because she is beginning to doubt that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get you to the altar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;biological clockâ&#x20AC;? business sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handing you is ridiculous in light of the fact that she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want children. The feelings you are experiencing are normal after a bitter divorce. Please do not allow yourself to be stampeded. When the time is right for you to remarry, you will know it without my telling you. 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.

bout one-third of our population is overweight, and another one-third is obese. According to the Gallup Poll of American Adults on Diets, 52 percent of American adults are attempting to reduce body weight through dieting. Studies show that dieters who sustain a weight loss are the rare exception, and those that gain back more than they lost may be the norm. If diets alone donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, what does? Most of us would agree that regular aerobic activity is an appropriate recommendation for increasing energy expenditure. Aerobic exercise in combination with a healthy diet can achieve most desired results; however, recently there has been considerable interest in the role of resistance exercise for enhanced fat loss due to its positive impact on resting energy expenditure. Most people associate strength training with athletes and fear they will get big and bulky. This only occurs with specific combinations of intense exercise and diet. Participating in basic resistance training regimens two to three days per week, performing high repetitions with low weights, will result in an increase in lean muscle mass and has been shown to have many health benefits. Studies have shown that after participating in a 12-week basic resistance training program, participants gained three to four pounds in lean muscle mass, and their resting metabolic rate increased seven to eight percent. This means they are burning about 100 to 120 calories more during periods of rest on a daily basis. Lean muscle burns more calories than fat. Our minds focus on big results and minimal effort. Obesity is a rising problem in our country. Food has become cheaper, and our lives have become less active. Stairs used to be more common than elevators; housework and jobs consisted of more manual labor; and we used to enjoy more active pastimes, instead of playing video games. Since our lifestyles have changed, we build less lean muscle mass during our daily lives and therefore burn less calories and intake more, so we need to participate in a resistance training program instead. Unlike dieting alone, which leads to lean weight loss and metabolic decrease, strength training results in lean weight gain and metabolic increase. It seems that strength exercise may offer a more sensible and successful means than dieting alone for attaining and maintaining desirable body weight and body composition.

Heat and the elderly

ear Dr. Donohue: My mother is 92 and lives by herself. She’s quite independent and does well. A neighbor takes her grocery shopping, and we take her to other places she has to go. She is extremely set in her ways. I offered to have her home air-conditioned. She won’t hear of it. She says she’s used a fan all her life, and she likes to keep the windows opened. I worry about someone her age tolerating heat, and it gets very hot here. Can you provide some arguments that would change her mind? – D.A.

BLONDIE

B.C. Your offer to air-condition your mother’s home is a kind gesture and has lots of merit. I’m not about to challenge your mother. She has successfully lived a long life, and I could learn from her. People in the past lived comfortably without air conditioning. Your mother does have to be on guard for dehydration and heat sickness. During hot summers, everyone has to stay well hydrated. Older people’s sense of thirst is not as reliable an indicator of fluid needs as is younger people’s thirst sense. She should sip water all day long, or she can choose any beverage she likes, including tea. Cooled drinks help keep the body cooled. Evaporation is the chief means the body has for staying cool. Not only is an older person’s thirst sensation blunted,

but so is the ability to sweat. Evaporation of sweat cools the body. I don’t mean HEALTH visible sweat; the Dr. Paul sweating Donohue I mean is ■■■ imperceptible but constant. Her fan helps evaporate that imperceptible sweat. However, with a reduced capacity to sweat, older people are at greater risk of suffering from a heat injury. Increased body heat increases the body’s need for oxygen, and that stresses the heart. On very hot days, how about inviting your mother over to your house until the hot spell breaks? Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a problem that I am reluctant to talk to the doctor about. It’s a rectal itch. I have tried many preparations, but they haven’t worked. What would you suggest? – L.F. I’ll mention a few selfremedies, but if the itch doesn’t leave promptly, see a doctor. Too many conditions are responsible for such an itch, and each one has a different treatment. Psoriasis, pinworms, eczema and Bowen’s disease are a few of the conditions causing a rectal itch. The doctor isn’t going to faint when you mention this problem. It’s a very common complaint. Make a couple of diet

changes. Stop taking anything that has caffeine. The same goes for citrus fruits, tomatoes and chocolate. If these are the culprits, two weeks away from them should break the itch. Use moist cotton balls in place of toilet paper. Or you can use commercial products like Tucks. Take an antihistamine before going to bed. Itching usually worsens at night. Those are enough home remedies. Dear Dr. Donohue: In 1899, my great-grandfather died of Bright’s disease, and 15 years later, his youngest son, my grandfather, died of it. Both men had immigrated from Germany, where they were farmers. Can Bright’s disease be contracted through heredity? You don’t hear much about it these days. Is it a potent health threat? – J.A. Dr. Richard Bright, an English doctor who lived from 1789 to 1858, was the first doctor to recognize that protein in the urine was a sign of kidney disease. His name came to indicate all kidney diseases. This was in the days before there were many scientific tests to distinguish one kidney condition from the many others. The term “Bright’s disease” has been dropped in preference to using the exact name of the kidney trouble. Some kidney diseases are inherited, but they are in the minority.

Extradition request rejected; Polanski free BERN, Switzerland – Roman Polanski was declared free Monday after Switzerland rejected a U.S. request to extradite him to be sentenced for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl. The Swiss government blamed the decision on U.S. authorities, saying they failed to address defense arguments that the 76-year-old filmmaker had served his sentence before fleeing Los Angeles three decades ago.

A large crowd enjoys a performance by Jimmy Buffett and friends on the beach at Gulf Shores, Ala., Sunday at a free show to boost spirits and lure visitors to the coast during the Gulf oil spill.

More free beach concerts eyed on Alabama coast GULF SHORES, Ala. (AP) – The free Jimmy Buffett concert that drew thousands to an Alabama beach may be just the first in a string of big-name shows funded by BP to boost a tourism industry hard-hit by the Gulf oil spill. Promoters say they hope to line up other acts – including country singers Faith Hill and Zac Brown and soft rocker Jack Johnson – and stage similar free shows through the fall to bring visitors to the Gulf Shores beach where Buffett played and send them into

area hotels, condominiums, restaurants and stores. A $15 million tourism grant from BP could be used to stage and promote the shows, state and local officials said. “We know of no better way to get a big bang for our buck that doing this,” said Gulf Shores Mayor Robert Craft. An estimated 35,000 people poured onto the public beach for the Buffett show in a town that only has about 5,000 full-time residents.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Mel Gibson is heard allegedly acknowledging that the actor hit the mother of his 8month daughter in a recording released by a celebrity news website. The eight-minute recording posted Monday by RadarOnline. com is purportedly a phone argument between Gibson and then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. A voice sounding distinctively like the Academy Award-winner is heard telling Grigorieva that she “deserved” to be hit after she chastised him for allegedly punching her in the face and breaking two of her teeth.

Reliving the west Western Film Fair features stars from TV classics of the past BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

INSTON-SALEM – Like many of his generation, Wayne Short fell in love with the western stars of the silver screen. Yup, his heroes have always been cowboys. “I grew up watching Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, Lash LaRue and all of those guys,” says Short. “(Westerns) were something you could sit and watch on a Saturday afternoon, and then go home and talk about and play all week – and that’s what we did.” Short, of Morven, N.C., serves as president of the Western Film Preservation Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the memories and ideals of western movies and classic television. This week, the organization will host its 33rd annual Western Film Fair, a tribute primarily to the westerns of yesteryear, but also to classic television. The event, which begins Thursday and runs through Saturday, will include daily autograph and photo sessions with guest stars; daily screenings of more than a hundred 16mm movies on the big screen; questionand-answer panels with guest stars; nightly entertainment; a star appreciation banquet Saturday night; and a large memorabilia room. The festival, which for many years was held in Charlotte before moving to Winston-Salem

Paul M. Russo was selected to be the next director of the Salisbury Veterans Administration Medical Center, beginning in mid-August. He replaces Carolyn Adams, who left in February to be director of the Charleston, S.C., Veterans Administration Medical Center. Russo most recently was associate director of the West Palm Beach, Fla., VA Medical Center, where he worked since December 2004. He has worked in seven medical centers during his 28 years of service in the Veterans Health Administration. He received a bachelor’s degree in clinical nutrition in 1982 from the State University of New York College at Buffalo, obtaining his registered dietitian credential in October 1982. He earned his master’s degree in health services administration from Rochester Institute of Technology, graduating magna cum laude in 2005. He is boardcertified as a fellow in the American College of Health Care Executives and currently is chairman of the ACHE Career Development Committee.

Grace Lee Whitney (“Star Trek”), Randy Boone (“The Virginian”) and Sonny Shroyer (“The Dukes of Hazzard”). Entertainment will be provided by Hannah Dasher and Johnny Meeks. According to Short, the guest stars will have autograph and photo sessions. He points out, though, that while they will sign the festival program for free, some of the celebrities will charge a fee for autographed photos. Another popular attraction will be a 4,000-square-foot memorabilia room featuring a large selection of posters, lobby cards, stills, comics, 16mm films, videotapes, toys, books, magazines, audiotapes, records, CDs, autographs and more. There will also be daily screenings of westerns and classic TV shows in three screening rooms. “It’s all just good, clean family fun,” Short says. “We have about 500 people who come, and I’d say it’s mostly people who grew up watching the movies and shows. It’s nostalgia, and it’s a lot of fun.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Cameron Crowe, 53; Cheech Marin, 64; Harrison Ford, 68; Sir Patrick Stewart, 70 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Put yourself out there this year. Don’t be afraid to let others know what you have to offer. This can be a great year to make vocational changes. A move may not be what you want initially but, in the end, it can prove to pay off. Your numbers are 6, 13, 20, 29, 33, 40, 48 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Revisit ideas and prospects that crossed your path last year and you will discover a new approach with the potential to be successful. You should be able to find new means to make things work for you. Increased assets or greater earning potential look positive. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you let someone else stick his or her nose into your business, you may be led astray or negatively influenced. Nurturing a relationship will benefit you in ways you can’t imagine. You can become much closer to someone with whom you share responsibilities. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do what feels right even if someone doesn’t agree with your choices. Don’t let a personal relationship cloud your vision about offering your help to others or making a move that will lead to a better professional future. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your responsibilities may seem like a burden but what you receive in the end will be gratifying. A job that has brought with it plenty of uncertainties will work out to your advantage if you let things unfold naturally. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Expect all sorts of changes in your life. Travel will entice you and new acquaintances, hobbies and knowledge will catch your interest. Your emotional outlook will improve through the conversations you have with others. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Observation will be your greatest asset, allowing you the knowledge required to manipulate any situation you face. Money matters can improve with wise choices and, although not everyone will be happy with your decisions, put your bank book and peace of mind first. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A partnership looks favorable. Don’t base your decision on which is the easiest route. Change is upon you but you are in control to make the final decision. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may feel pulled between the past, present and future. You have to let go in order to move forward. Keep an open mind and you will discover that something very positive can come out of the change. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can alter your current financial situation if you are smart about the deals you make and the people you get involved with. Letting someone influence where and what you do will be a stumbling block to the goals you want to accomplish. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Investments, real estate or working toward your own enterprise will pay off. Love, contracts and legal matters will all play a major role in the long-term, financial decisions you make. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have to make up your own mind but, before you do, make an honest assessment of where you are mentally, physically, emotionally and financially. If things aren’t the way you want them to be, make the necessary changes even if it means major adjustments to your lifestyle. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Figure out ahead of time if you are capable of doing what’s being asked of you or if you should consider taking a path more suited to your qualifications. There is a partnership or deal that you can make, however, it may come as a surprise that it isn’t the one you expected. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

My friend the English professor says English is hard to pick up because it has so many idiomatic expressions. “The only way to learn them,” the prof says, “is to learn them.” It’s the same in learning card combinations (my topic this week). At 1NT South won the first spade in dummy and led a diamond to his king. West took the ace and led another spade, and South won and cashed the queen of diamonds. When West discarded, South won only six tricks. “No use crying over spilled milk,” South sighed, employing an idiom that would baffle someone learning English.

EXTRA CHANCE Only an intuitive player, or one who had studied suit combinations, would make 1NT. South should win the first spade in his hand and lead a low diamond, giving himself an extra chance for two diamond tricks. South is always safe if diamonds break 3-2 or if East has A-J-10-9 (since South can use his dummy entries to lead twice toward his hand). But South must guard against the bare ace with West.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 10 9 7 H Q 10 7 3 D A C Q 10 7 3. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one heart, he bids two clubs and you raise to three clubs. Partner next bids three hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: You might have tried 2NT at your second turn, but to raise the clubs was reasonable. Partner’s three hearts shows game interest, probably with 1-3-5-4 distribution. Since most of your honors look useful, jump to five clubs or try 3NT. He may hold 2, K 9 5, K Q J 8 7, A K 8 6. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

RANSPORTATION

Pursuant to regulations derived from the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act (QHWRA) of 1998 as published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Housing Authority of the City of High Point announces that it will conduct a public hearing to be held at 4:00 pm on August 31, 2010 at the Administrative Offices of the Housing Authority located at 500 East Russell Ave, High Point, NC 27260. The purpose of this public hearing will be to present the Housing Authority's 2011 Annual Plan as required by the QHWRA. The Annual Plan will include a statement of housing needs, a statement of financial resources, eligibility, selection and admissions policies, polices governing rent determination, operations and management, a grievance procedure, and identification of needed capital improvements. The plan will also include procedures governing administrative hearings affecting persons who have applied for or receive financial assistance under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. In addition, the Annual Plan will address demolition and disposition of public housing developments, guidelines which the Housing Authority will follow in designating communities for the elderly, a statement regarding homeownership, and community service. Additionally, the Annual Plan addresses HUD's Family Self- Sufficiency program that was designed to encourage families and individuals to move from being non employed or from being on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to employment or self-employment. Support services have been put into place to target needs such as obtaining high school equivalency, post secondary education, occupational and technical training, help with child care, transportation, credit counseling, employment interviewing skills, and counseling for homeownership. A template of the Annual Plan as prescribed by HUD is being prepared and will be available for inspection by interested parties prior to the public hearing. The Annual Plan template may be reviewed at the Administrative Offices of the Housing Authority located at 500 East Russell Ave, High Point, NC or on the Housing Authority's web site at www.hpha.net. Additionally, supporting documents, polices, leases, financial information, etc., are available for public inspection at the Administrative Offices of the Housing Authority. Interested parties may submit written comments concerning the proposed Annual Plan, the policies, procedures, the lease agreement and amendments thereto by addressing them to the attention of "Rachael S. Matthews, Interim CEO, Housing Authority of the City of High Point, P O Box 1779, High Point, NC 27261-1779." or by email to Rmatthews@hpha.net. Comments must be received not later than August 13, 20. All comments will be made available to the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority of the City of High Point prior to the Public Hearing, made available for inspection at the Public Hearing and will be presented to HUD along with the Annual Plan. Interested persons who would like to review the above referenced plan, policies and/or procedures and who require reasonable accommodation due to disability and/or language barrier may make such request known in writing and submit it to the Housing Authority at the above referenced addressed. Persons with hearing impairments may also make such requests by dialing into our TDD phone line at 887-2661. The Housing Authority of the City of High Point ascribes to practices that recognize and promote fair housing activities and provides for equal housing opportunity. Rachael S. Matthews Interim Chief Executive Officer July 15, 2010

UNC star cited CHAPEL HILL (AP) — North Carolina coach Butch Davis says he will discipline All-Atlantic Coast Conference linebacker Quan Sturdivant following his weekend citation for drug possession. Albemarle police chief Ronnie Michael says Sturdivant was cited Saturday morning for simple possession of marijuana during a traffic stop. Michael says it is a misdemeanor charge because it was less than a half-ounce of the drug. Sturdivant was not taken into custody and faces an Aug. 2 court date in Stanly County. In a statement Monday, Davis says he is disappointed in the senior, though he didn’t specify how the first-team all-ACC performer would be punished.

Ernst forges lead GREENSBORO (AP) — Derek Ernst from UNLV shot a 6-under 65 for a one-shot lead on John-Tyler Griffin of Georgia Tech after the first round of the U.S. Amateur Public Links on Monday. Ernest, a 20-year-old from Clovis, Calif., made nine birdies at Bryan Park Golf and Conference Center, five during an eighthole stretch on the back nine. The rising junior had bogeys on the first two holes and another on No. 18. Griffin, a senior from Wilson, N.C., had his lone bogey on the 14th hole. Patrick Reed of Augusta, Ga., and Justin Lower of Canal Fulton, Ohio, are tied for third at 3-under. The field of 156 players will be cut to 64 after Tuesday’s second round. Match play begins Wednesday.

WHO’S NEWS

Any other week, the British Open buzz would be all about Lee Westwood. He’s No. 3 in the world, with top-three finishes at three of the last four major championships. Better yet, he’s actually won on the Old Course (OK, so it was the Dunhill Links), making him Britain’s best chance to snap that decade-long oh-fer streak at its own Open.

High Point University student Austin Dillon sweeps into a turn en route to winning the NASCAR Truck Series race at Iowa Speedway on Sunday.

Dillon savors victory A

t least until Friday, Austin Dillon will be the big man in the NASCAR Truck series, thanks to his breakthrough victory Sunday at Iowa Speedway. He knows it won’t make him a big man on campus at High Point University once he reports next month for his sophomore year. “They’ve always SPORTS made me go to all the classes and keep Greer up with my work,” Smith Dillon, a communi■■■ cations major, said during a conference call on Monday. “I think it will stay the same.” What won’t stay the same is how Dillon is regarded in the Truck Series after thoroughly dominating at Iowa, leading 187 of 205 laps to prevail in his 10th start of the season and 12th overall. At 20 years, 2 months and 37 days, he became the second youngest winner in the tour’s history. It was a feat that didn’t appear to be in the offing as he finished 14th or worse in five of the first seven races driving trucks owned by his grandfather, Richard Childress. Since then, he’s finished in the top five every time after starting on the pole. “I think we’ve been kind of edging toward Sunday the whole year,” Dillon said. “We’ve been fast at all the tracks, but we’ve just had little mistake that put us behind.” The mistakes included a wreck that was his fault in the early laps of the series opener at Daytona and loose lugs nuts that led to a wreck at Charlotte. “The two previous races, we’ve had poles and run in the top five. This past week, I knew we couldn’t let another one slip away. Everybody on the team did a great job of minimizing mistakes. We

were flawless yesterday.” That included Dillon being flawless as he shot in front of Johnny Sauter on a restart, after a caution for debris sent the scheduled 200-lap event into overtime. Dillon said he drew strength from a Bible verse, Romans 15:32, taped to his dash. Dillon said he wants to put a picture of it in his trophy case. “It says “That I may come unto you with you by the will of God and may with you be refreshed,’” he said. “I was reading it while everyone was on the radio arguing whether I should restart on the inside or outside. I had in the back of my head what I wanted to do. At the end of it, it said, ’You may be refreshed.’ I took a deep breath and chose the top and told everyone we were going to be OK. And then we won the race.” The victory was the first in the truck series for Childress since 1995, and the first in a NASCAR national series by a No. 3 painted black from the Childress stable since Dale Earnhardt’s last win in October of 2000. Dillon has driven black No. 3s to victory on dirt tracks and in the NASCAR East Series. “When you see the number on the top of the board when you leave the track, it is a really cool sight,” he said. He was joined in victory lane by his grandfather and grandmother. He said he’s received congratulations from RCR’s Cup drivers Jeff Burton and Clint Bowyer plus other drivers in the Truck series. He celebrated Sunday night with his crew at one his sponsors’ locations and flew back to North Carolina on Monday. Tonight, he plans to drive in a dirt late model race at Gastonia. “I think the fact that we won started to sink in about midnight,” Dillon said. “It was hard to sleep Sunday night for sure.” The triumph also took away some of the stigma of getting his

only other NASCAR Touring Series victory (in a 2008 East Series event) through the disqualification of the first-finishing car. “This time we proved to everybody that I could actually win and win under a pressure situation with a green-white-checkered finish,” he said. “We had a heck of a celebration. I’m glad we’ve got that one behind us. We know we can do it now. “The biggest thing is we have the confidence and mentality that we can go out and win races. We’ve proven it. Now, it’s time to go do it again.” That he won at Iowa didn’t come as a huge surprise. His record there included a second in an ARCA race last year and two top10 finishes in the NASCAR East Series. Now, he goes for a fourth straight pole and the chance to prove he can also win on a track where he’s never raced this weekend at Gateway Raceway, a flat 1.25-mile track across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. “The way our equipment and trucks have been handling, I feel like there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to go out there and run well,” Dillon said. “We might not be able to pick up as fast as we usually do in practice and make the adjustments we’re able to make when we were fast right off the truck. But, we’ves got a shot at four poles. That would be awesome. “But the main thing is when you get there, you have to learn it yourself. That’s what I figured out from going to these places for the first time. You have to go out there with the mind set that you’re going to pick it up quick, you’re going to learn the line, do what it takes to get fast, whatever it takes, and do it fast.” He’s been learning quickly all season.

HIT AND RUN

---

or my money, few events approach the Major League All-Star Game for stirring great memories. I know it’s only an exhibition. But it brings back so many unforgettable moments. As a kid, the Midsummer Classic offered me the rare opportunity to stay up late and watch my favorite sport. It was summer, after all, and it was The All-Star Game. One of my earliest memories as a kid was Reggie Jackson’s titanic 532-foot homer off the electrical transformer at Tiger Stadium in the 1971 All-Star Game. Dock Ellis served it

up and had it not slammed into the outlet 100 feet above right-center field, I was convinced it was headed for outer space. I still am. I was awed in 1983, when Fred Lynn slugged the only grand slam in All-Star Game history. That blast off Atlee Hammaker powered the American League to a 13-3 victory, the Junior Circuit’s ninth straight All-Star Game triumph. The next year, I was thrilled when Dale Murphy, my boyhood hero, drilled an eighthinning homer at Candlestick Park in San Francisco to help the National League win

3-1. I was disappointed, though, when Gary Carter garnered game MVP honors instead of The Murph. And who wasn’t touched by Ted Williams’ pre-game appearance at the 1999 All-Star Game at Fenway Park? Watching all of the ‘99 All-Stars pay homage to the aging Splendid Splinter was the stuff of legend. That’s precisely the kind of magic you find only at the big-league All-Star Game. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

But Westwood’s right leg is being held together with tape and wraps this week after rupturing a muscle in his calf, making his prospects at St. Andrews uncertain, to say the least.

“These things happen. You can’t control when they happen,” Westwood said after playing a six-hole practice “round” Monday. “It’s frustrating that it’s the Open Championship. If I don’t play well this week, I won’t put it down to the injury. Obviously, it doesn’t help. But I’m hitting the ball well, feel like I’m very comfortable on these greens. “So, you know, I’m still hoping for a good week.” Few players have been better than Westwood recently, and it seems only a matter of time before the 37-yearold sheds that dreaded “best player never to win a major” title. He’s been in contention at each of the four majors at least once.

Ortiz wins HR Derby

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Boston slugger David Ortiz has won his first Home Run Derby title, hitting 10 homers in the final round to beat Florida’s Hanley Ramirez at Angel Stadium. Big Papi added another highlight to his resurgent season with a relentless series of drives into the elevated stands above the right-field wall. Ortiz hit 21 homers in the first two rounds of his fourth derby before holding off Ramirez and beating a field missing most of the majors’ top power hitters. Ramirez matched Ortiz’s 21 homers in the first two rounds, pulling most of his shots over the left-field wall. But Ortiz became just the second slugger to reach double digits in the final round, while Ramirez managed only five.

NCAA sets men’s tourney format INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — March Madness is about to get a little bit bigger. The NCAA unveiled its plans for the newly expanded 68-team men’s basketball tournament Monday: Beginning next March, eight teams will play early the opening week in a “First Four” round, with the winners advancing to games on Thursday or Friday. Two of the early games will match the tournament’s lowest seeds, Nos. 65 through 68. The other two games will include the last four at-large qualifiers. The format appears to be a compromise. Including the lowest at-large teams will probably prevent mid-majors from being over-represented in the first round, but it could also mean that two teams from bigger conferences — those generally seeded between 11th and 13th

— will be out before the tournament really gets going. “You’re not going to come up with the perfect model,” committee chair Dan Guerrero said. “You’re not going to come up with a model that is going to appease every constituency out there. But we felt that this model provided the opportunity to do something special for the tournament.” The NCAA announced in April that it would add three teams to the field, the first expansion since the tournament went from 64 teams to 65 in 2001 after going from 48 to 64 in 1985. It was a hotly debated decision, with critics saying the tournament is already as close to perfect as any collegiate championship can be. Some pointed to Butler’s run to last season’s championship game and George Mason’s Final

Four run in 2006 as examples of parity. The NCAA decided against a larger expansion to 80 or even 96 games. Still, its new 14-year, $10.8 billion television package with CBS Sports and Turner Broadcasting not only ensures that every game will be televised but gives the NCAA sole authority to expand again. All four of the first-round games will be broadcast on Turner’s truTV cable channel. There has been only one early “play in” game since 2001, when the expansion to 65 teams essentially added a 34th at-large team. Now, there will be 31 automatic bids and 37 at-large bids. “Those teams and what would be the 34th at-large team would create better drama, if you will, for the tournament,” Guerrero said. The at-large teams will be seeded

where they would normally be placed in the bracket, meaning a first-round game between two No. 10 seeds would result in the winner advancing to play a No. 7 seed. “I think some people are going to look at it and say it looks like a compromise,” said Laing Kennedy, a retired Kent State athletic director who is on the men’s basketball committee that developed the new format. “What we look at is that it really does preserve the integrity of the 31 automatic qualifiers.” The NCAA said there could be games on both Tuesday and Wednesday. The Tuesday winners would play Thursday and the Wednesday winners would play Friday. The committee decided against making the lowest eight at-large teams or the lowest eight overall seeds to play their way into the final 64.

NL seeks to end AL’s domination in All-Star game ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Ryan Howard is sick of all the talk about the American League’s dominance in the All-Star game. The Phillies slugger knows all too well it’s been 13 years of AL bragging rights. And, no, that wacky 7-7 tie in 2002 did little to boost NL morale in baseball’s Midsummer Classic. In this year of the pitcher, the National League is downright loaded, even for an All-Star game with the best of the best coming to Orange County on Tuesday night. “This should be the year for us to go out there and hopefully end this drought,” Howard said. “I’m getting tired of hearing about the American League winning and how long they’ve won, every year for the last 13 years or whatnot. Basically go out there and try to change it up.” There’s Colorado 15game winner Ubaldo Jimenez starting at Angel Stadium. In the bullpen: Marlins ace Josh Johnson, Mr. perfect Roy Halladay and two-time reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum. And so on. The AL run is one of the more perplexing streaks in sports. Is it simply a quirk, or evidence of true dominance? The American League has ruled interleague play for several years, and also done well in the World Series, winning four of the last six

titles. You’d think the NL might have caught a break at some point in a span of more than a decade, just getting one ball to bounce its way. In 2008 at Yankee Stadium, the National League had 15 innings to make it happen and came up short. The previous year in San Francisco, a crazy ball off the wall gave Ichiro Suzuki the first insidethe-park home run in AllStar game history. With a star-studded lineup of New York Yankees gathered in sunny, surf-crazed Southern California, even the Angels’ infamous rally monkey will probably be rooting for the AL if things are close late in the game. The last time the NL won was 1996, when the Milwaukee Brewers were still in the AL. Not that many remember the 6-0 NL victory at Philly’s old Veterans Stadium. “This will be Charlie’s second straight year to try to beat that stupid American League jinx,” Phillies chairman Bill Giles said of the Philadelphia and NL skipper, Charlie Manuel. “Charlie, your job’s on the line, man.” It was Giles’ father, Warren, the former National League president, who used to enter the NL clubhouse and give firedup speeches to help rally and ready his players for the All-Star game. These days, there are

Owls claw HiToms ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte and his son Luke, 5, hang out during the American League All-Star team’s workout before baseball’s home run derby Monday in Anaheim, Calif. graphic monkeys bouncing all over the big screen, Thunderstix and Vuvuzelas — oops, not those noisemakers, they aren’t allowed at Angel Stadium. CC Sabathia isn’t sure any of that stuff really matters much. “I can’t say it’s better players,” said the burly Yankees ace, who won’t pitch Tuesday. “It’s just one of those things. What is it, 13 years in a row?

It’s pretty much luck I guess.” A new rule keeps Sabathia and other pitchers who started on Sunday from being on the active roster. Tampa Bay lefty David Price will start Tuesday for the AL. The NL players believe it’s their turn to finally turn the page on this decade-old drought. And why not think that way? This game is being played within miles

of Disneyland — “Happiest Place on Earth” — where thousands of kids (adults, too) get to dream big every day. Sixfoot-tall, baseball-themed Mickey Mouse statues, some painted in stars and wearing caps or holding baseballs, are scattered around town. “We know everyone’s here to have a good time but at the same time our priority is to win the game,” Jimenez said.

Ethier’s first start in center will be as All-Star ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Andre Ethier is starting in his first All-Star game — and he’ll be playing out of position. The Dodgers right fielder and second-leading vote-getter among National League outfielders will start in center field between Milwaukee teammates Corey Hart and Ryan Braun, the first time he’s manned the position in his five-year career. “The last time I played center field would have to have been, I think, college. That was in 2003, when I played the whole year there,” Ethier said Monday. “I’d better go get familiar with it. Maybe I’ll have to ask Torii Hunter for some pointers about playing center in Anaheim. “Wow. I get to play center in the All-Star game! It’s going to be fun, he added. “But I hope Joe (Dodgers manager Joe

Torre) doesn’t get any crazy ideas seeing me play center field and think I’m ready to play center now.” Ethier will bat seventh in manager Charlie Manual’s lineup.

WATCHING INSTEAD OF PITCHING CC Sabathia and Jered Weaver are All-Stars. They just can’t pitch in the game. Thanks to a new rule that prohibits anyone from pitching in the Midsummer Classic after starting on Sunday, the two American League aces will not find their names in Tuesday night’s box score. “I’m not upset at all, the Yankees’ Sabathia said. “I definitely could have pitched, because it’s a regular bullpen day. But you don’t want to get a guy out there at the end of the game and he has to throw after pitching on

Sunday. So I understand the rule. The games in the regular season mean more than these, so I’ll be ready to pitch on Friday.” Weaver, a first-time AllStar, wasn’t originally selected. He was added to the roster because of an injury. “It was very important,” teammate Torii Hunter said of is selection. “I mean, with the Angels hosting the All-Star game and us having only one guy representing us, it was pretty weird. Jered Weaver was deserving of the All-Star game. I can’t remember the last time a pitcher who was leading the league in strikeouts didn’t make the team. I know he can’t pitch anyway because he pitched on Sunday, but I think he should have been named to the All-Star game earlier.” Weaver said he would enjoy in the experience

despite the rule. “It’s going to be weird, this being my first one,” Weaver said. “I think it’s smart, but at the same time, I think there’s something they can do to try to change it up a little bit so that this doesn’t happen again. I think this year it kind of caught up to them with all the different people that actually did pitch on Sunday.”

VLAD GLAD TO BE BACK The Angels had Vladimir Guerrero in their lineup for six seasons, winning five AL West titles with him before losing him to the division rival Texas Rangers as a free agent and replacing him with former Yankee and 2009 World Series MVP Hideki Matsui. Guerrero, the 2004 AL MVP, is having a much better season than Matsui with 20 home runs, 75 RBIs and a .319 average. As a result he is in

his ninth All-Star game as the AL’s starting designated hitter. New teammate Josh Hamilton thinks a change of scenery had something to do with it. “I think it helps revive you as a player,” Hamilton said. “When you’ve been in a place for a long time, things just start becoming a routine and you might lose a little bit of passion. When you go somewhere else, you want to show these guys what you can do and you get revitalized a little bit. “Vlad’s still a tremendous player and a tremendous talent and he brings smiles to the faces of the guys every day,” Hamilton continued. “Batting behind him, he’s so much fun to watch because you don’t know what he’s going to do every day.” Former Halos teammate Torii Hunter missed not having that familiar “Superman” T-shirt around.

FOREST CITY – In what has become a recurring trend, Thomasville couldn’t come up with enough hitting or pitching Monday night. Forest City pitcher Justin Poovey held the HiToms to two runs over the first six innings as the Owls flew to a 8-3 Coastal Plain League victory. Losing pitcher Nate Striz wasn’t bad, giving up three runs over five innings but it wasn’t quite good enough. Poovey struck out five, walked one and allowed five hits. Striz struck out six and limited the Owls to four hits before they broke the game open. Tyler Fredrick led the HiToms offense with two singles and an RBI. Cass Hargis provided one single and scored a run. Thomasville (12-27, 29 second half) returns home to face Asheboro on Wednesday.

Multiple injuries killed racer SEATTLE (AP) — The King County Medical Examiner says an NHRA driver who crashed after crossing the finish line died of severe injuries to his head, neck and torso. Mark Niver, 60, of Phoenix, died Sunday at the NHRA Northwest Nationals. He was competing in the Top Alcohol dragster class in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing series. The parachutes on his car ripped away after they were deployed, and Niver couldn’t stop his dragster before it slammed into the protective netting at the end of the runway. According to the medical examiner’s report Monday, Niver suffered severe injuries to his spinal cord, aorta, esophagus, trachea and ribs. His death was ruled an accident. A spokesman for the King County Sheriff’s Office says it’s still investigating.

Dodge signs deal RALEIGH (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to a one-year, two-way deal with center Nick Dodge. The deal would pay Dodge $500,000 at the NHL level and $55,000 in the minors.

Fisher remains in L.A. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Although Derek Fisher thought about joining that burgeoning superteam in Miami, he’s staying in the Los Angeles Lakers’ own collection of stars. The veteran point guard said Monday he’ll re-sign with the Lakers, sticking with Kobe Bryant and the defending two-time NBA champions after speaking with several teams as a free agent. “I have decided to continue with Kobe, continue with our teammates and the fans of Los Angeles,” Fisher said in a statement on his website. “While this may not be the most lucrative contract I’ve been offered this offseason, it is the most valuable. I am confident I will continue to lead this team on and off the court. Let the hunt for six begin.” The five-time NBA champion said he considered contract offers from several teams in the past two weeks after playing a key role in the Lakers’ championship repeat. He spoke with the Heat in South Beach last weekend, entertaining the prospect of running an offense for LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who all left free-agent money on the table to sign teammates of Fisher’s ability.

Indy keeps Pacers INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis officials and the Indiana Pacers reached a deal to keep the team at Conseco Fieldhouse for the next three seasons while the city pays $10 million a year for running the arena. The city’s Capital Improvement Board also will pay for a minimum of $3.5 million in fieldhouse improvements, said Robert Vane, a spokesman for Mayor Greg Ballard. If the Pacers choose to leave Indianapolis after the three seasons, they would have to repay at least $30 million. That amount will decrease for each season they continue to play at Conseco. The new agreement is an addition to the existing contract, which runs until 2019 and includes other fees if the Pacers decide to leave early. The Pacers have sought to renegotiate their arena lease, saying the franchise has spent at least $15 million a year in operating costs. Pacers spokesman David Benner said the team had no immediate comment.

Favre shows speed

Ignacio Garrido tees off on the 18th hole at the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland, during practice Monday for the British Open. The tournament begins on Thursday.

Road Hole gets tougher ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Scott Verplank walked off the 16th green on the Old Course and headed for the next tee when his caddie made a startling observation. “Hey, look,” Scott Tway said. “We’re teeing off out of bounds.” Sure enough, the right side of the 16th green is lined by white stakes to indicate out of bounds. The new tee for the British Open, 40 yards beyond where it used to be, is located behind those stakes. That stretches the par 4 to 495 yards. As if the Road Hole at St. Andrews wasn’t peculiar enough. The Royal & Ancient is up to speed when it comes to the modernization of championship golf, and chief executive Peter Dawson figured it was time to lengthen one of the most famous holes in the game. It was intended to challenge players toward the end of the round, yet more and more players were getting by with an iron off the tee and a short iron to the green. Now, the driver is required on days except when the wind is at the back. And the hole appears to be as tough as ever. Quirky, too.

WOODS PAIRED WITH ROSE

–

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Tiger Woods will play the first two rounds of the British Open with Justin Rose of England, one of the hottest players in golf with two PGA Tour victories in his last three starts. It will be the first time Woods and Rose have been drawn together in the Open since 2002 at Muirfield, although the circumstances were far different eight years ago. “I’ve never had to hit over a building before,” Dustin Johnson said Tuesday during his practice round. Players cannot see the green from the tee — they can’t see most of the fairway, for that matter — because the proper line is blocked by the Old Course Hotel. The ideal tee shot is over the hotel’s lettering written on the side of a maintenance shed. The confident players pick a letter — typically the “o” in hotel, although any “o” usually will suffice.

“Actually, in practice rounds I always go along the limit, so I hit it down along the hotel to see how far right I can go,” Padraig Harrington said. “It’s one of those things, you want to know how far you can go right. And it’s not that far.” Keeping it in the fairway is the chore. Whereas the fairway used to go in the direction of the tee, the angle now is so severe that it goes sharply to the right in the direction of the second shot. To play a tee shot away from the hotel, which looks safe, will put the ball in thick, rough and make it virtually impossible to reach the green. And then there’s the green. To the left is the Road Hole bunker, which is about 6 feet deep and has a sodden wall up toward the green. Beyond the putting surface is a paved road, which is in play and how the hole got its name. Birdies are rare. Bogeys are acceptable. “I don’t mind making a 5 on the 17th,” Masters champion Phil Mickelson said.

Tour de France shapes up as three-way scrap MORZINE, France (AP) — The Tour de France is shaping up as a threeway race among leader Cadel Evans of Australia, defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain and Andy Schleck of Luxembourg. Evans leads Schleck by just 20 seconds after Schleck won the hardest stage so far on Sunday — a grueling Alpine trek where Lance Armstrong cracked. “Getting the yellow jersey at the Tour is always

something special,” the 33-year-old Evans said on Monday’s rest day in Morzine. “To swap the (world champion’s) rainbow jersey for the yellow jersey is a rare feat that I’ve had the honor to experience.” With two-time Tour winner Contador short of his best form, Evans realizes he has a good chance to win. He slightly injured his left forearm in a minor crash Sunday. “The legs are still go-

ing, which is the important thing,” Evans said. “That is what the main concern is right now. It’s a little bit uncomfortable right now. Hopefully with a good night’s sleep, I should be all right. I’ll try to take it as easy as possible, and get as much physiotherapy as possible on my arm.” Contador trails by 61 seconds ahead of Tuesday’s ninth stage. The punishing Alpine route featuring two category 1 climbs, and a

tougher one that is beyond classification: a mammoth 15.9-mile ride up the Col de la Madeleine, one of the Tour’s most formidable mountain passes. “It will be a really hard and complicated stage, and we should see the main contenders in the Madeleine,” Contador said Monday, adding that he welcomes more attacks from Schleck and others to increase the overall speed of the race.

Spain proves gold standard for soccer JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Now, about creating that soccer dynasty. Spain has won the sport’s two toughest tournaments, adding the first World Cup held in Africa to its European Championship of 2008. After edging the Netherlands 1-0 in extra time, the Spaniards were too exhausted and exhilarated to contemplate anything more than how

good that golden prize looked and how much it meant. So others can look ahead, not only to where this golden generation of Spanish soccer might take the nation, but to where the World Cup is headed and what the tournament needs. Many countries, including the seemingly jinxed Dutch, have been blessed with one group of

supremely talented players who learn the game together and apply those lessons on the biggest stages. In Andres Iniesta, who scored the Cupwinner Sunday night , David Villa, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos — the list seems endless — Spain has that crew. Nearly all are in their prime or just approaching it. They have leadership,

superb goalkeeping — mark Casillas down for both of those as captain and possibly the best keeper in the sport — and a clear understanding of the stylish Spanish way of playing soccer. After 44 years without a major title, they dominated Euros two years ago, then gave Espana its greatest sports moment in this World Cup.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — Brett Favre had finished throwing to the youngsters at Oak Grove High School and poked his head out of the field house to see a few reporters standing near his truck, waiting to ask him about his future plans. Favre ducked back inside and, moments later, someone else jumped into Favre’s truck and drove it around to the front of the building Monday morning. With a grin on his face, the 40-yearold quarterback ran out of the building, hopped in and drove off with nothing more than a playful wave to the waiting reporters. Whether it’s throwing passes to high school receivers or dodging members of the media, Favre looks like he’s getting along just fine on that surgically repaired ankle. Favre has yet to tell the Minnesota Vikings if he will return for a 20th season in the NFL, but most people with the team and around the NFL would be stunned if he did not come back. He had arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle in May and has been throwing to receivers at the high school for a few weeks, lending an air of inevitability to yet another sequel to the summer blockbuster “Favre-apalooza,” as Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe likes to call it. “He ain’t working out for no reason,” Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson said recently. “I welcome him back. There’s nothing I can do about it so I’m going to welcome him back and hopefully get to the Super Bowl.”

Brawl probe continues KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee players involved in a bar brawl must wait at least another day before learning if they will be charged in the incident that left an off-duty Knoxville police officer seriously injured. Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk said Monday that more charges are pending. He said there are witnesses of the early Friday morning fight at Bar Knoxville who still need to be interviewed for a first or second time. There is no surveillance video of the fight at the 18-and-up bar, which spilled out into the street of the area near campus known as “The Strip.”

Cut foot knocks Serena Williams out of WTT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Serena Williams will miss the entire World TeamTennis season after cutting her foot. The WTT said Monday she was to have played four matches for the

Washington Kastles, but she hurt the bottom of her foot late last week and needed stitches. It was not clear how she was injured. A message left with her publicist was not immediately returned.

Williams won her fourth Wimbledon crown this month and lost an exhibition to Kim Clijsters last Thursday before a record crowd in Brussels. She says she is “very disappointed” to miss the WTT season.

Her opening match was to have been last Friday against the New York Buzz in Glens Falls, N.Y. She also will miss matches in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Washington on Wednesday and New York on Thursday.

Small businesses may get boost WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke stepped up pressure on Monday to get banks to boost lending to the nation’s small businesses, a critical element to spurring the economic recovery and reducing unemployment. Bernanke and other regulators have urged banks since February to increase their lending to smaller companies. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill have complained that small businesses that want to take out loans are having trouble getting them. Banks have countered by saying demand is weak. Bernanke’s latest comments come as legislative efforts to jump-start small business lending have lan-

Nissan suspends Japan production TOKYO – Nissan Motor Co. says it will suspend production at four assembly plants in Japan due to a delay in getting supplies of engine parts from Hitachi Ltd. Nissan spokesman Koji Okuda said the suspension will begin Wednesday and last three days. The move will affect around 15,000 vehicles.

EU under pressure to finalize rescue fund BRUSSELS – European officials are under pressure to finish setting up their bailout fund for indebted governments before next week’s publication of bank stress test results, which could highlight new financial strains. Markets are worried about how Europe’s financial system would fare if the economy stagnates or slides back into recession – or if a European state defaults on its debt and banks are forced to post losses on the large amounts of government debt they hold.

Oil prices drop on delayed earnings NEW YORK – Oil prices retreated Monday as traders awaited earnings from aluminum giant Alcoa Inc., which reports after the markets close.

guished and the recovery has been losing momentum. He made them at a Fed conference exploring ways to help boost lending to small companies. “Making credit accessible to sound small businesses is crucial to our economic recovery,” Bernanke said. “More must be done,” he pledged. While big companies have stockpiled cash and are expected to report strong profits starting this week, small businesses have struggled to secure loans to expand and hire. The disparity between large and small businesses has been one reason the recovery has not picked up and could even stall. Small businesses usually help drive job creation during recoveries.

They employ roughly half of all Americans and account for about 60 percent of gross job creation, Bernanke said. And newer small businesses, those less than two years old, are especially important. Over the past 20 years, these startup enterprises accounted for roughly one-quarter of gross job creation, even though they employed less than 10 percent of the work force, he added. The Obama administration in early May sent Congress a proposal to create a $30 billion support program to unfreeze credit for the nation’s small businesses. The fund would provide support to small and medium-sized banks with assets under $10 billion to encourage them to increase lending to small businesses.

Feds try to recoup Fannie, Freddie losses WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal regulator is taking steps that could lead to the recovery of some losses sustained by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Federal Housing Finance Agency said Monday it is looking to get back money that the two government-controlled companies have lost on mortgage securities packaged and sold by Wall Street firms. During the housing market’s boom years, the two government-sponsored companies snapped up those securities, which contained some of the riskier loans made during the housing boom years. But they declined dramatically in value after the market went bust. The regulatory agency said it has issued 64 subpoenas seeking loan files and other documents

to determine whether the sellers of those securities made any false statements or omissions. Fannie and Freddie had tried to do so themselves but have faced resistance in getting the loan documents, said the agency, which was given subpoena power two years ago. The agency said in a statement that it is “prepared to take appropriate action to ensure compliance, if necessary.” Any money recovered by the government would offset losses at Fannie and Freddie, which have cost taxpayers $145 billion so far. Many analysts agree that Fannie and Freddie fed the boom in shady mortgage lending by snapping up billions in dubious mortgage investments and by lowering standards for the mortgages they guaranteed.

Consumer Reports won’t recommend iPhone 4 SEATTLE (AP) — Consumer Reports says the iPhone 4 has reception problems caused by its antenna design. After the iPhone 4 went on sale in June, buyers started complaining that holding the gadget a certain way could cause calls to drop. Apple has said that any phone will lose signal strength when gripped in certain ways. It said the iPhone 4 seems to show a larger drop be-

cause it has been using a faulty formula to decide how many signal bars to show. But Consumer Reports says it tested several phones that use AT&T Inc.’s network, and only the iPhone 4 seemed to have the reception issue. Consumer Reports says the iPhone 4 will not be marked “recommended” on its updated smart phone ratings list because of this problem.

Upcoming earnings worry investors NEW YORK (AP) –Stocks closed mixed Monday as investors grew more cautious while they waited for the start of second-quarter earnings reports. They got some good news after trading ended, when Alcoa Inc. reported better than expected results. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 18 points and the other big indexes also had slight gains. But almost two stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange, a sign that investors were wary about earnings. Alcoa didn’t disappoint them. The aluminum maker beat analysts’ expectations, and it also said it was raising its forecast for consumption of the metal this year. The company’s stock rose nearly 3 percent in after-hours trading. Investors made few big moves as they waited for Alcoa’s earnings. So they showed little reaction to news of several corporate acquisitions. Earnings are likely to dominate trading for the next few weeks. Greg Estes, fund manager at Intrepid Capital Funds. said of companies’ forecasts, “people are really wanting to see things get better.” He said some industries like technology were more likely to report improvement versus those that rely more on consumer spending.

Tax break helps with hiring WASHINGTON (AP) – Businesses have hired 4.5 million workers under a new program that provides tax breaks for hiring unemployed workers, the Treasury Department said Monday. It is unclear, however, how many of those workers would have been added without the tax break. President Barack Obama signed a law in March that exempts businesses hiring people who have been unemployed for at least 60 days from paying the 6.2 percent Social Security payroll tax through December. Employers get an additional $1,000 credit if new workers stay on the job a full year. Treasury released a report Monday estimating that from February through May, businesses hired 4.5 million workers

who qualify for the tax breaks. Those businesses are projected to save $8.5 billion in taxes. Many businesses also cut jobs during the period, though there was a net increase of about 993,000 jobs from February through May, according to the government’s business payroll survey. The economy shed 125,000 jobs in June, according to the survey. “The HIRE act is an example of a targeted timely tax policy designed to get employers to move their hiring up,” said Alan Krueger, assistant Treasury secretary. “If they’re sitting on the fence and not sure whether they want to expand or not, the HIRE Act hopefully gives them an incentive to get off the fence and do additional hiring.”

FDIC’s bank authority expands WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal bank regulators have agreed to give the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. unlimited authority to investigate banks, clarifying the agency’s power that was in question during the financial crisis. The FDIC’s board on Monday approved the agreement between the insurance agency and regulators at the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department. It clearly spells out the FDIC’s authority to make special

examinations of banks. It was approved 5-0. Federal bank regulators were widely criticized during the financial crisis for failing to signal high-risk practices before the institutions failed. The FDIC, which takes over failed banks, has said it lacked access to needed information to evaluate banks’ risk. The FDIC is the “backup” regulator for banks, empowered to examine banks’ condition and operations.

Flax price increase comes too late

Playboy impresario Hugh Hefner and Anna Berglund share a front-row-center box in a capacity crowd at the 32nd annual Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on June 12.

Hugh Hefner offers to take Playboy private CHICAGO (AP) – Hugh Hefner’s offer to take Playboy Enterprises Inc. private drew the promise of a competing bid on Monday from the owner of archrival Penthouse magazine. That raises the possibility that Playboy’s 84-year-old founder could lose control of the men’s magazine he started more than half a century ago. Playboy said Monday that Hefner has lined up backing from a littleknown private equity firm to buy the shares of the media empire that he

doesn’t already own and take the company private in a deal that values the organization at $185 million. A few hours later, Marc Bell, the CEO of Penthouse owner FriendFinder, said his company will make a formal bid soon. Bell had acquired Penthouse as part of a 2003 bankruptcy reorganization that also saw the resignation of founder Robert Guccione as the company’s CEO. Playboy, which Hefner launched in 1953, had its most popular years in the

1970s and has been struggling recently to stay profitable amid dwindling ad revenue and increased competition from free alternatives online. The racy magazine, which still generates the largest share of the company’s revenue, sold about 311 ad pages last year, down from 765 in 2000, according to the Publishers Information Bureau. Its average circulation has fallen by about a million over the same period to 2.02 million copies.

CANDO, N.D. – Flax prices are rising, but the spike has come too late to be of much benefit to U.S. farmers who don’t have much on hand to sell. And, it’s too late in the year to plant more, said Roger Krueger, manager of a grain elevator in the northeast North Dakota town of Cando. Flax prices have risen nearly $2 a bushel to about $10 a bushel after rains and flooding in Canada’s prairie provinces. The wet weather has kept many farmers from planting flax and stressed fields that had been seeded.
