PARTY ON THE PLANK: Organizers take stock of concert series. SUNDAY
GUILFORD COUNTY – A Greensboro man who witnessed a fatal accident in May involving a state trooper has disputed official reports that the officer was pursuing a speeder at the time of the crash. In a story published in The Jamestown News this week, Terry W. Johnson took issue with the N.C. State Highway Patrol’s account that Trooper J.D. Goodnight was pursuing a suspected speeder on Interstate 85 Business Loop just east of High Point on May 23 when his patrol car collided with a Honda Accord driven by Sandra Allmond.
The Honda failed to yield when it attempted to turn left onto River Road into the path of the trooper’s oncoming Dodge Charger, which was traveling an estimated 120 mph, according to a preliminary report on the crash. Goodnight’s car slammed into the Honda at an estimated 95 mph. Allmond, 55, of Thomasville, was killed, as was a passenger, 11-year-old Taylor Strange of Jamestown. According to the Highway Patrol, Goodnight initially was headed north on I-85 Business when he clocked a blue Buick Skylark traveling south at 80 mph in a 55 mph zone. He crossed the highway median to turn around and pursue the vehicle.

Witness disputes troopers’ account of crash BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
SATURDAY
Witnesses stated the car’s blue lights were activated but they did not hear a siren before the crash, the report stated. Johnson told The Jamestown News he was driving his pickup truck south on I-85 Business moments before the accident when the trooper pulled up behind him and followed him closely for about a quarter-mile at 55 mph. As they approached the River Road intersection, Goodnight pulled into the left lane of the highway, turned on the car’s blue lights and accelerated, Johnson said. “The one thing that’s been consistent with every report is that Goodnight was on a high-speed chase,” Johnson told the newspaper, “and
I’m telling you that is absolutely impossible. I had a clear line of vision both ways, and there was no speeding vehicle going either way.” Johnson could not be reached for comment. Sgt. Jeff Gordon of the Highway Patrol on Friday declined to comment on Johnson’s account of the crash, other than to say he was interviewed by investigators. The final report on the accident is not complete. “As far as details of the investigation, I haven’t seen it, but it will be available to everybody and have Mr. Johnson’s information in there as well,” Gordon said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Butterfly farm operators, investment group at odds over land BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – It seems the worlds of business and butterflies have collided. Donna and Tim Pless, owners of All-A-Flutter Butterfly Farm, said they’ve started grass-roots efforts to preserve their business while in a bidding war with Oasis Investment Group LLC for 24 acres next to their farm. The land was bought in 1969 by Donna Pless’ father, Burnes J. Hughes, and deeded to her and her three siblings. One of the siblings, Burnes J. Hughes II, died in 1997 and deeded his stake in the property to Pless’ two sons,

Citizens summoned to Summer Sidewalk Stroll BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Residents soon will have the opportunity to get a taste of the flavor that Uptowne High Point is trying to create in town. Uptowne High Point is part of the City Project and is working toward revitalizing the uptown area that spans along N. Main Street, from Ray to State Avenue. To showcase the changes, officials will host a Summer Sidewalk Stroll Saturday on Aug. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The district that has been deemed Uptowne includes 150 businesses and 200 restaurants. “I didn’t even realize we had that

The main goal of the revitalization is to “recreate the area into a walkable, pedestrian friendly, retail, dining and entertainment destina-

Wagner got the idea for the stroll from an article he read about Greensboro hosting a similar event. “I took the idea and brought it to the committee,” Wagner said. “The point is to get people to start coming to this area to shop.” Shops in Uptowne will have sidewalk sales to promote pedestrian traffic for the event.

A coupon clipper will be inserted into the Friday edition of The High Point Enterprise for the Summer Sidewalk Stroll. This will shed more light on the businesses participating, because there is no finalized list as of yet. If the stroll is a hit, Wagner hopes it will become a quarterly or monthly event. In the future, Uptowne High Point plans to bring back the Beach Blast music fest and hopefully organize an event in conjunction with the annual Christmas parade. editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

Land dispute. 1A BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The situation faced by AllA-Flutter Butterfly Farm, with the siblings involved in the surrounding, deeded land and the constant upset bids, is a sticky situation, but not one that is necessarily uncommon, according to Carl Wright, appointed commissioner for the land. While Donna and Tim Pless have started grass-roots efforts to preserve the land around their 3-acre butterfly farm on Clinard Farms Road, court
rulings have not been on their side. Donna Pless, her brother, sister and two sons were deeded 24 acres by their father, Burnes J. Hughes, that is next to the Pless’ butterfly farm. They want to keep the 12 acres closest to their farm to prevent future developers from creating buildings near the farm that would make it an unfriendly atmosphere for the butterflies or their customers, who often hold special events at the farm. But a judge ruled that because of road access, the land could not be divided evenly without decreasing the property’s value and most be sold collectively to benefit all parties.
“Usually in a situation where something can’t be divided, it’s a house on a property line that can’t be split into pieces,” Wright said. “This is unusual in that it’s 24 acres of land that can’t be divided.” But when it comes to siblings disagreeing over the use of land or competitive bidding, the situation is not uncommon, Wright said. “Stuff does come up pretty often,” he said about disputes between siblings and parties involved in wills and deeds, “but there are statutes designed to deal with that.” While the Pless’ are worried about the bids placed on the property by Oasis Investment Group LLC, Wright
ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
said it’s important to remember that anyone else also could bid on the property. “The point now is to bid as high of a price as possible for each of these kids,” he said about the siblings. “Anyone in the country can come in today and jump into the bidding process.” Donna Pless said she knows the situation is being handled in a legal matter developed by the courts, but she said there’s a difference between legally and morally sound. “The best thing all around would be for somebody to strike a deal to buy their portion out and leave ours alone,” she said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Through court proceedings, she requested the land be partitioned so she and her sons could keep their 12 acres to serve as a buffer against future developers, and her two siblings could sell their portions. But a judge ruled last summer that the property couldn’t be divided without decreasing it’s value due to road frontage issues. “I know that they wanted to sell, and it’s their right,” said Pless about her siblings. “But we just want to protect our little farm.” The property also went to public auction through

As of Friday, they have submitted the most recent bid for about $337,000. “We are living from upset bid to upset bid knowing we could lose our livelihood at any given moment,” Pless said. “The stress is unbearable and has eroded the quality of our lives.” Pless said her husband has reached out to Adnan Mjalli, who signed the bid for the investment group, to work out a deal where their 12 acres were not included in the sale, but the parties did not come to an agreement. Mjalli also is president
of Trans Tech Pharma. When contacted by the High Point Enterprise, Mjalli said he had no involvement in the investment group but signed the bid for his wife, Hellen Mjalli, who is out of the country. According to the Department of the Secretary of State, Hellen Mjalli is listed as the manager of Oasis Investment Group. He declined to give further comment. Pless said she’ll continue telling her story and placing upset bids for as long as she can. “I understand that this is business, but there should be a line,” she said. “We are just a small farm trying to make a living. We just want to be left alone.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

HIGH POINT – A severe thunderstorm that hit parts of the city knocked out power to several thousand customers in north High Point Friday night. The storm knocked down a tree that struck an electrical transmission line at Oakview Road and N. Centennial Street, which knocked out power to the
about 2,600 customers, Hopkins said. City crews had power restored to all of the affected customers by about 8:30 p.m. Hopkins said the storm caused other trees to fall, including one that struck a house in the Oakview Road/N. Centennial Street area. The storm also went through Oak Hollow Campground and knocked down some limbs, but no major damage was reported.

Town puts wrap on debating in underwear BOULDER, Colo. (AP) – The days when a citizen could address the Boulder City Council wearing only underwear may be over. The council will vote on new decorum rules in September, seven months after a resident stepped up to a microphone in his boxers.
The rules were already under review, but that incident led to a proposed ban on undressing during meetings. It’s not the first time the university town has wrestled with how much clothing is enough. In April, the city barred teens and adults from
showing their genitals in public. That could put the wraps on two annual traditions that involve running or cycling naked. But the council declined to outlaw topless females, despite complaints about a woman who gardens in a thong and gloves.

Sunni group claims Iran mosque blast TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – A Sunni insurgent group said it carried out a double suicide bombing against a Shiite mosque in southeast Iran to avenge the execution of its leader, as Iranian authorities Friday said the death toll rose to 27 people,
including members of the elite Revolutionary Guard. The insurgent group, Jundallah, has repeatedly succeeded in carrying out deadly strikes on the Guard, the country’s most powerful military force – including an October suicide bombing that killed more than
40 people. The new attack was a sign that the group is still able to carry out devastating bombings even after Iran hanged its leader Abdulmalik Rigi and his brother earlier this year. Shiite worshippers were attending ceremonies marking the birthday of the Prophet Mu-
hammad’s grandson, Hussein, when the first blast went off at the entrance of the mosque in the provincial capital Zahedan. The male bomber was disguised as a woman, local lawmaker Hossein Ali Shahriari told the ISNA news agency. Inside the mosque, a cleric
was reading from the Quran in front of lines of faithful sitting cross-legged on the floor when the building suddenly shook from the blast and screams were heard from outside, according to footage taken at the time and aired on Iranian state TV.

With the help of the

Thomasville department heads should share cost I recently received my tax bill for Davidson County and the city of Thomasville. I also received the tax bill for my automobile for county and city. There was no mention of water and sewer rate increases for another year. The only difference I have seen in city services in the last few years is, I carry my garbage and recycles to the curb now instead of them being picked up as in years past. I don’t object to paying my fair share of all the above bills. But I would be a much happier citizen if all city department heads from the city manager on down lived in the city and helped pay their fair share of these bills. WALTER L. JONES Thomasville

who have ever worked in the fields. Some people in America, including some of our leaders, seem to think that Americans have never worked on farms. Well, do I have news for them. Farm families of this country help make America a great nation. Nine of us children grew up on a farm. We would set tobacco, top and sucker tobacco, barn tobacco, dig potatoes, cut produce for market. We worked in the fields, in hot weather, cold weather and sometimes in the rain, as well as thousands of other families in America. Hard work never killed any people I knew. The only air conditioner we has was a funeral home fan. Many children who had parents who worked public work worked on other people’s farms to buy their school clothes. Many
American’s nowadays seem to think their children are too good to work in the fields. People will have to always work in the fields because groceries do not jump on shelves, and meat does not jump in coolers in the grocery stores in the real world. Farmers must grow; people must gather; a lot of other things must be done before we can buy food. If there ever comes a time when there is not enough food in the grocery stores and there is food in the fields to gather, no one will think they are too good to gather it. They would dig, grub, craw, pick or pull to fill their hungry stomachs. I am thankful for farmers and people who work hard to get food to market.

State ethics reforms advance
Mayor Scott Morris, 230 W. Salisbury Ave. (PO Box 1458), Denton 27239; 859-2888 h, 7984090 w Barbara Ann Surratt Hogan, 316 W. First St., Denton 27239; 859-4269 h
News & Observer of Raleigh, July 13 Let’s face it: There’s hardly a legislative task any more distasteful than having to toughen the ethical standards that are supposed to regulate conduct in state government, and among legislators themselves. The need for tougher rules amounts to an embarrassing recognition that conduct has been slack. Yet when recurring scandals threaten to put the whole state government enterprise in a bad odor with the public, as unfortunately has been the case in North Carolina over the last couple of years, the risks of inaction can become too great. And so it went as the General Assembly closed out its 2010 session, approving a package of ethics reforms that North Carolinians can hope will signal a new resolve to operate their government on the up and up. Approval was by no means a done deal, even with ethics bills having passed both the House and Senate. Failing agreement on a final version, the legislation could have died. In some corners it would have been difficult to suppress the cheers. But leaders in both chambers and of both parties saw to it that the session did put some reforms on the books. Among the highlights: More accountability for the campaign money raised by people appointed to state boards and commissions, stiffer penalties for people who make illegal campaign contributions and a clearer picture of personnel actions affecting people on the state payroll. Unfortunately, some worthwhile changes failed to make the cut ... The House wanted to crack down on the so-called pay-to-play syndrome by barring campaign contributions to state officeholders from people who had been awarded state government contracts. There was resistance in the Senate, with one argument being that people seeking contracts still could contribute, giving them an advantage. But cutting the payto-play link for people who are actually making money off the state is a reasonable step that ought to be on the legislative agenda next year. ... Ongoing investigations that focus on activities surrounding former Democratic Gov. Mike Easley have given the issue of honesty in government a new urgency. Legislators might not have liked having to do it, but in the end they made progress toward a difficult goal.

Recent extreme weather deaths outnumber war casualties
S
afe to say, nothing is so bad that a hurricane can’t make worse. Take an existing problem, toss it around in the wind and smack it with flying debris – it’s certainly not going to improve. Shoddy construction is made worse, communication concerns – made worse, a struggling economy – made worse, disastrous Bush presidency – made worse. And now the wonders of deregulation – the BP Oil Spill – the worst environmental disaster in the history of the U.S. – found itself for a while in the pathway of early riser Alex, the first official hurricane of this season. The BP Oil Spill is already a current-carried glob of doom. It’s a mass of toxic sludge submerged in the Northern Hemisphere’s hotbed of hurricanes. In 2007 during a cable interview, Senator Barbara Boxer said, ”One of the very important national security threats we face is climate change.” Warmer waters in the Gulf will promise more hurricanes. Oceans will rise from the melting of glaciers. Heat waves will kill crops and damage industries. Famine, floods, tornadoes, drought, violent storms, fires, tsunamis, disease and unrest? Sure, this could be a concern to the security of the nation. Now, sacked Hewlett-Packard CEO turned California Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina used the Boxer clip for an attack ad. Carly, in her curious Jodie Foster accent, said in the spot, “Terrorism kills and Barbara Boxer is worried about the weather.” Then the self-proclaimed fringe to the “lamestream media” and fraction-of-a-term governor Sarah Palin chimed in on Twitter, “BarbBoxer sez ‘greatest security threat’ is WEATHER. Not nukes, or unsustainable debt leading 2 insolvency? Silly Senator, glad theres competition.” [Spaces added.] Palin is like a militant reformed smoker – she quit her job as governor and now has contempt for all who continue the habit of public service. Silly Senator, keeping oaths are for chumps. OK, first off: the “weather” is not the “climate.” The difference between weather and climate is length of time. Weather is the immediate information – climate is the big picture. So it’s like trying to discuss a concern about a decade and Carly Fiorina says you’re worry-
ing about an hour. This is why climate change deniers disagree with scientists – they’re not using the same measurements. If you believed miles were inches, you’d think eggheads were lying to you all the time, too. Our climate is changing. And OPINION yes, weather is also something which warrants worry: In the Tina last 10 years, there have been Dupuy more Americans who died from extreme weather than U.S. soldiers who died in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars combined. According to the National Weather Service, during the last decade 5,754 people have died due to weather events such as extreme temperatures, flooding and hurricanes. Compare that death toll with the 5,521 soldiers killed in the two wars we’ve waged since 2001. Truth be told, to date there have been more U.S. lives lost as a result of Hurricane Katrina (estimated 1,800) than there have been U.S. soldiers killed in the war in Afghanistan (1,125). And as far as Fiorina’s focus on terrorism killing – well, an average of 42 Americans die from being struck by lightning every year. As opposed to – well, almost none from terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11. Here’s the problem with the politics of fear and confusion: it confuses what to fear. Is terrorism still a threat? Sure. Should we pursue the elimination of terrorism while ignoring all other concerns because it makes politicians seem tough? No – at least not anymore. Earlier this month, the National Weather Service issued an excessive heat advisory for the Northeast. Forecasters predict prolonged temperatures exceeding 102 degrees could wreak havoc in cities like New York, D.C. and Philadelphia. Several have already died from the heat. In 1980, a similar heat wave was responsible for 1,250 deaths. Why? Because weather kills. How’s that “worried about the weather-y” thing workin’ for ya?

Vatican revises rules on clerical sex abuse VATICAN CITY (AP) – The Vatican revised its in-house rules to deal with clerical sex abuse cases Thursday, targeting priests who molest the mentally disabled as well as children and doubling the statute of limitations for such crimes. Abuse victims said the rules are little more than administrative housekeeping since they made few substantive changes to current practice, and what is needed are bold new rules to punish bishops who shield pedophiles. Women’s ordination groups criticized the new rules because they included the attempted ordination of women as a “grave crime” subject to the same set of procedures and punishments meted out for sex abuse.

UN: Child rights report way overdue. 6A The rules, which cover the canonical procedures and penalties for the most serious sacramental and moral crimes, were issued as the Vatican confronts one of the worst scandals in recent history: revelations of hundreds of new cases of priests who raped and sodomized children, bishops who covered up for them, and Vatican officials who stood by passively for decades. In 2003, the Vatican streamlined its 2001 procedures for disciplining abusive
priests, allowing them to be defrocked without a lengthy canonical trial if the evidence against them was overwhelming. The rules issued Thursday codified those procedures into church law. “That is a step forward, because the norm of law is binding and is certain,” Monsignor Charles Scicluna, the Vatican’s sex crimes prosecutor, told reporters. But he acknowledged that the document was just a set of rules whose application was critical. “It does not solve all the problems,” Scicluna said. “It is a very important instrument, but it is the way you use the instrument that is going to have the real effect.”

love and friendship, you create the conditions for a mutual friendship. Waiting to see if the other person will extend their friendship first will lead to suspicions about your feelings and mutual distrust. Perhaps here we should consider the example of a mother’s love: She does not wait to see what kind of child her newborn will become before giving her love but rather extends it immediately, unconditionally, and wholeheartedly. We should do likewise to all of God’s creation.

here are many types of love and many different ways to classify the different types of love. One fairly standard way is by the Greek notions of eros, philia, and agape, corresponding roughly of the English notions of romantic love, brotherly love, and love of God. While this classification captures most manifestations of love, it doesn’t seem to capture all of them. For instance, the love of a mother for her children is arguably different than brotherly love. In any case, I want to suggest that we should not wait for love to come our way before we love in return. The true lover is one who gives their love freely and without conditions, and though they may hope and trust that it will be returned, doesn’t make it a precondition of loving. Love cannot have preconditions or stipulations. If you want to be loved, then love first and love deeply, and love without qualifications or conditions. By extending your hand in

Founders of religions of the world C
hristianity centers on Jesus. That is no surprise. But who are the founders of some of the other religions in the world and how large are the religions? This summary will reveal some names and numbers. The numbers come from www.adherents. com and the numbers are approximate. • Christianity (2.1 billion) – Jesus. Jesus lived from around 4 BC to AD 30. • Islam (1.3 billion) – Muhammad. Muhammad lived from AD 570 to 632. Islam has two major groups, Sunnis (1 billion) and Shiites (200 million). Most Shiites are found in the Middle East, which is why you hear about them, and the other 100,000 million are smaller Muslim groups. Hinduism (900 million) – no one founder; it developed slowly over time but many scholars trace its origins to around 3000 BC. The most important texts, the Vedas, date from around 1500 BC. Most Hindus are found in India. • Chinese traditional religion (394 million) – complicated. Chinese traditional religion is a mixture of Taoism (“Dowism”), Confucianism, and Buddhism. Taoism does not have
a central founder, but its most important writing “Tao Te Ching” was written by Lao Tzu around 300 BC. Confucius lived around 500 BC. • Buddhism (350 million) – Siddhartha GauSTUDYING tama, also known as the THE CHURCH Buddha (“enlightened one”), lived around 400 BC in India. Mark • Indigenous religions Nickens (300 million) – also com■■■ plicated. This catch-all group includes smaller religions like those practiced by Native Americans and Aborigines of Australia. So if you take all these unconnected small religions and combine them, they are known as “Indigenous religions.” • African traditional religions (100 million) – also complicated. This is a different category from the Indigenous religions. The Indigenous religions are individual religions found throughout the world that bear little resemblance to each other. African traditional religions are those indigenous religions

The male members of this group are required to wear turbans in public. • Jehovah’s Witnesses (15 million) – Charles Taze Russell lived from AD 1852 to 1916. • Judaism ( 14 million) – Abraham/ Moses. Abraham lived around 1950 BC and Moses lived around 1450 BC. • Mormons (13 million) – Joseph Smith, Jr., lived from AD 1805 to 1844. • Shinto (3 million) – No central founder. This is the official religion of Japan. • Scientology (500,000) – L. Ron Hubbard lived from AD 1911 to 1986.
And if you are interested in how Christianity breaks down, here it is: Catholicism (1 billion), Orthodox (240 million), Pentecostal (100 million), Presbyterian/Reformed (75 million), Anglican/Church of England/Pentecostal (73 million), Baptist (70 million), Methodist (70 million), Lutheran (64 million), Adventist (12 million), Apostolic (10 million), Restoration (including Disciples of Christ and Church of Christ) (5.4 million), Brethren (1.5 million), Mennonite (1.2 million), and Friends (Quakers) (300,000). Some groups are left out for reasons I don’t understand, unless they are folded into other groups. Holiness would be one example, which might be included in Pentecostals, and independent churches are probably lumped into Baptists since they have the same governmental form. The number of Presbyterians also seems high, but you can go to www.adherents.com and see all the numbers for yourself. QUESTIONS/COMMENTS contact Mark at drnickens@triad.rr.com.
Famous preacher addresses convention D
r. Ronald V. Duncan, the church’s General Director, welcomed guests from throughout the nation and many countries to the 124th North American Convention of the Church of God, in Anderson, Indiana, June 25-30. The convention theme was “Transforming Culture by Being the Body of Christ.” Plenary sessions were held in the large and beautiful Reardon Auditorium, named in honor of Dr. Robert H. Reardon who served for 25 years as the second president of Anderson University. The first president, Dr. John A. Morrison, was the school’s leader for 39 years. The auditorium was filled to capacity each night and the overflow crowd of hundreds met in the spacious Park Place Church of God across the street
from the university campus. Opening night, under the direction of Anderson SHARING University, featured THE SPIRIT a familycentered Bill musical Ellis program ■■■ by Sandi Patty, her parents the Rev. Ron and Carolyn Patty, her brothers, children and her husband. Dr. James Edwards, president of the university, greeted the packed house and introduced Sandi and her parents as graduates of Anderson University. My wife, Kitty, was one of the select group of former AU students who formed a supporting choir for Sandi as she presented music at its best.
Dr. Melissa Pratt, widely known preacher and pastor of the Teays Valley Church of God, Scott Depot, WV, in her convention address, Monday morning, July 28, dealt with the subject “Cultivating to Transform” and specifically talked about Christians being “Grace Dispensers” in terms of attitude, love, generosity, hospitality and service. She reminded her audience, “You are stewards of gifts in order to be stewards of grace.” In the Monday evening plenary session, Dr. James Earl Massey, named by Christianity Today in 2006 as “One of the 25 Most Influential Preachers in the Past 50 Years”, called on believers to encourage and nurture one another. Massey, internationally known for his pulpit excellence, is the author
of 30 books and has been invited by more than 140 colleges, universities and seminaries to serve as a guest preacher and lecturer on their campus. As speaker on the Christian Brotherhood Hour, he was heard worldwide on a special network of radio stations. Dr. Massey titled his convention message, “Cultivating the Saints.” Those who heard him and the many thousands who listened via worldwide satellite television and live media streaming heard a much-needed message for our day of discouragement and bewilderment. Richard Willowby, editor and author, writing about Dr. Massey’s message said, he was, “Calling the church to an enabling and encouraging ministry to one another. He drew from Paul’s arrival in Rome
and noting in Acts 28:15, that ‘he thanked God and took courage.’ ” Massey reminded his audience that “the apostle Paul did not advance the gospel alone. His mentors – Gamaliel, Ananias and Barnabas – helped to cultivate him, and all through his remarkable ministry, others stepped up to help, encourage and aid.” He said, “There are times when we need help from above, but sometimes help does not come from above but from fellow believers who stand with us.” General Assembly Chairman Robert L. Moss commended the Assembly for its “focus on worship, connectivity, and the renewing of its commitment to a common mission.” A large global gathering of the church will convene in June 2013
UN: Vatican child rights report 13 years overdue GENEVA (AP) – The Vatican has failed to send the United Nations a report on child rights that is now almost 13 years overdue, the head of a U.N. panel has told The Associated Press. Like all countries that have signed the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Vatican is required to submit regular reports on its efforts to safeguard child rights. But the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child, despite sending repeated reminders, has received no explanation from the Holy See for why it missed a 1997 deadline, according to the committee’s chairwoman Yanghee Lee. In the years since, the Vatican has come under intense scrutiny over its handling of child sex abuse allegations around the world and recently admitted that up to one in 20 priests may be implicated. “I’ve made contact with the Holy See on several occasions,” Lee said in a recent telephone interview. “I haven’t received anything.” Officials at the Vatican’s mission in Geneva declined comment Thursday, saying the Catholic city state’s envoy to the
U.N., Silvano Tomasi, was unavailable. Tomasi refused to discuss the report last month, saying he was “only the messenger,” not the author of the report. A Vatican representative told the U.N. last year that the report was being “finalized as we speak.” Appearing before the U.N.’s Human Rights Council in September, Hubertus Matheus Van Megen said “a paragraph will be dedicated to the problem of child abuse by Catholic clergy.” The Vatican has faced claims that it has covered up clerical sex abuse around the world, such as by not investigating allegations or transferring accused priests to other duties without punishing them. Van Megen told the Geneva-based council that the church was “very conscious of the seriousness of the problem” but insisted critics had misrepresented the situation. “While many speak of child abuse as pedophilia, it would be more correct to speak of ephebophilia, being a homosexual attraction to adolescent males,” he told the rights council. “Of all priests involved in the abuses, 80-

Kitty was a soloist for that conference. In Fritzlar, I met young people who have been my good friends to this day. The body of Christ, the salt and light of this world, is God’s agent for changing culture wherever the gospel of Jesus Christ is taught and lived out in the lives of Christian believers.

Monsignor Charles Scicluna (left), the Vatican’s sex crimes prosecutor, and Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi talk to the media Thursday during a briefing to present a new set of norms The Vatican issued. 90 percent belong to this sexual orientation minority, which is sexually engaged with adolescent boys between the age of 11 and 17 years old.” “From available research we know now that in the last 50 years somewhere between 1.5 and 5 percent of the Catholic clergy has been involved in sexual abuse cases,” he said.
While the Vatican delivered an initial report in 1995, the second, third and fourth reports are now overdue, according to Lee. This puts it on a par with the Caribbean nation of St. Kitts and Nevis. Only five Pacific minnow states – the Cook Islands, Nauru, Niue, Tuvalu and Tonga – have failed to deliver any kind of report.

Archdale incumbents won’t face election challenges BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
ARCHDALE – Archdale’s city government will probably look the same after November’s municipal election. The Randolph County Board of Elections on Friday reported that only incumbents – Councilmen Lewis Dorsett, Larry Warlick and Eddie Causey and Mayor Bert Lance-Stone – filed for seats on the Archdale City Council. The filing period started July 2 and ended Friday. Lance-Stone, who will serve her sixth consecutive twoyear term as mayor when reelected, said she hopes the uncontested races in Archdale mean the city government is doing a good job. “We do have a really good council that works very well together,” she said. “They all seem to be focused in the same direction. ... I’m hoping that people realize that this council has worked very hard and provided some good services to the citizens of Archdale. We have tried to do our very best. “Hopefully, when the economy comes back, we will have some other positive things that we will be able to highlight.” The City Council incumbents have told The High Point Enterprise they want to serve again because they want to see a feasibility study on a joint wastewater treatment plant between Randolph County, Trinity and Archdale come to fruition. The three incumbents also would like to continue to serve because the city of Archdale will soon get water from the Randleman Regional Reservoir. Dorsett has served three consecutive terms. Warlick and Causey have served two four-year terms. The other members of the City Council will be up for re-election in 2012. High Point and Archdale are the only municipalities among more than 500 in North Carolina that hold their municipal elections in even-numbered years. Voters will go to the polls Nov. 2. The races are nonpartisan. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Tasting tickets are $1 each, with samples costing between one to four tickets. “Vendors can still sign up, but may be put on a waiting list because of limited space,” said Kimberly Hines, marketing associate for Hospice of the Piedmont. Ham’s and Kepley’s BBQ are the two vendors that have participated in the event the longest, while Real Creations and Southern Roots always bring in a huge crowd, Hines
Hospice of the Piedmont’s 22nd annual Taste of the Town advance tickets can be bought starting Monday. Go online to www.hospicetaste.com, click on “Order Tickets” and pick them up the day of the event at the entry to Showplace, or buy tickets at the Hospice office at 1801 Westchester Drive in High Point, Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event will be held Aug. 17 at Showplace, 211 E. Commerce Ave., 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and will feature restaurants, caterers and drink distributors from across the Triad. Tickets are $5 for admission and $1 per tasting ticket. said. “But all of the vendors are so wonderful,” she added. Other vendors include Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery, Sumela, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Cup & Cake. Along with the food and drinks, a silent auction will be held. “So far, 150 items have been donated, but as the event draws closer, more items come in,” Hines said. Last year, the event brought in $130,000 with around 5,000 people attending. “We would like to raise over $130,000 this year,” Hines said. The event is crucial for the Hospice of the Piedmont. “While most of our patients have Medicaid, Medicare, or private
insurance, some fall through the cracks,” Hines said. “We care for all those who come to us. We also provide bereavement services to the community and a program called Kids Path, which offers care to children who are coping with a loss. We are able to keep offering these programs to the community through this event.” The event will be held 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Aug. 17 at Showplace in High Point, 211 E. Commerce Ave. Volunteers also are needed. Applications can be found online at www.hospicetaste.com under the link “Get Involved.” editor@hpe.com | 888-3537

Thomasville City Schools revamps logo BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
THOMASVILLE – Keith Tobin says Thomasville City Schools’ new logo is a “big deal.” Tobin, the system’s superintendent, unveiled the logo for the first time during the Thomasville Board of Education’s regular monthly meeting Tuesday night. The system is moving from its old schoolhouse logo to one that reflects the characteristics of Thomasville City Schools’ mission and belief statements, Tobin said. “It’s so important that we, as a system, come up with something that really tells us who we are to people,” Tobin said. “I think

Thomasville school officials say their new logo reflects their mission for the 21st century. it’s exciting. I think it’s alive, and it’s something we are very proud of. If you look at the logo itself, we feel like it represents a 21st century learning community. That’s what we are after.
“We want to make sure we prepare our students for life after leaving us, to be able to compete globally, to be able to compete in the workplace and to be able to have the solid skills to survive in this world.
What we are trying to do is represent that through this logo.” In the logo, the word Thomasville is placed on the line to represent a strong foundation for success. The font selection is clear and strong, representing a proud tradition and commitment to the future, according to the school system. Tobin said the rays and their positions symbolize the starting point in the Thomasville community, shining toward a future of success. “Not all go to fouryear colleges,” he said. “Some go to a community college. Some go to the military. We’ve got different rays of success.” The silhouette repre-

sents students, staff and community as taking ownership in the future for success, school officials said. The face is looking toward a bright future while staying connected to the strong foundation of the Thomasville community. “We’ve got a lot of history in this community,” Tobin said. “We’ve got a lot of pride here. We’ve got great employees. We’ve got great students. We’ve got a great community. We want to show them we have a strong foundation of success.” Tobin said the silhouette also illustrates diversity and does not represent a specific gender, age, race or religion. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Lucky family of dahlias has five members They grow best in a pH of 5.6 to 6.0 so adding lime to our soil is recommended before planting. The soil needs to be ECOLOGY well-drained so as not to rot the Gwyn tuber. In zones 8 Riddick and higher, the â– â– â– plants are perennial and come back each year. Under short days or cold temperatures, dahlia will form tubers and stop flowering; all the energy from the plant will go into tuber formation, making them perennial in Zone 8 and above. In colder climates, the tubers need to be protected
from freezing or dug up and stored for the winter. A few weeks ago, I saw a new series of Dahlia at the N.C. State University Arboretum for the All America Selections Field Trials. The series is called lucky and has five members. Lucky Face is a deep magenta; Lucky love is a white with deep burgundy irregular stripes on each petal. Lucky Stripe is a yellow with irregular burgundy red stripes on each petal. Lucky Heart is a deep red and Lucky Finals Star has a striking yellow star on each bloom. Lucky has 2-3 inch flowers and the plant grows compactly to 18 inches. Watch out for insects since they love dahlias
too. Aphids, spider mites and leafminers can be pests. Look for the Karma series if you want to grow really great flowers for cutting. Arabian Night is an almost purple black flower. Dahlias are available in a multitude of varieties. There are tree dahlias, miniatures, dwarf and hybrids. The flower forms are; anemone, collarette, orchid, peony, balls, cactus and singles. If you decide to save your tubers each year, wait until the first frost to dig the tubers and then air dry them in the sun on a layer of cardboard or newspaper. After a day, dust them with garden sulfur to prevent disease and then store them in a cool dark place only
Woman playing boss at work wants peaceful role at home
D
ear Abby: This summer, my boyfriend and I will be working together. I will be his boss. I want to maintain a professional environment while still keeping peace in the relationship. My boyfriend can be sensitive sometimes, so do you have any tips to help me separate my work life from my love life? – Stage Manager in the South Dear Stage Manager: Yup. Before you start working with your boyfriend, establish ground rules in advance. He needs to understand that he won’t be treated any differently than the rest of the cast and crew members because of your personal relationship, and to protect your job there must be no suggestion of favoritism. For you to allow that to happen, or for him to expect special treatment, would be unprofessional and could negatively affect the production. Dear Abby: I was my best friend “Chanel’s�
maid of honor. I received her beautiful engraved invitation in the mail, but never ADVICE sent back my RSVP, Dear assumAbby ing that ■■■because I was maid of honor, had purchased my plane ticket, reserved a hotel room (which the bride and I were sharing the night before the wedding) and had already bought my dress, it was “understood� that I was coming. The bride and I had already discussed my special meal for the reception because I am a vegetarian. During the reception, Chanel’s mother informed me that “in the future I needed to RSVP when invited to a function.� Abby, as a member of the wedding party I honestly didn’t think I needed to. Are the members of the wedding party expected to RSVP? As an aside, Chanel’s
mother was never fond of my mother and has told Chanel she thinks I’m “flaky.� Was I in the wrong, or did her mother use this as a way to express her dislike of me? I have never considered her someone who was a stickler regarding etiquette. – Perplexed in Plano, Texas Dear Perplexed: Technically, when one receives an RSVP card with an invitation, the recipient should immediately return it with an acceptance or regrets. However, in your case, common sense should have allowed the bride’s mother to conclude that you would be there – for all of the reasons you mentioned – unless Chanel and her mother weren’t communicating. It appears your assessment of the woman is on target. For her to have been so insensitive to have taken it upon herself to “correct� you at the reception was in extremely poor taste. Dear Abby: What
should I call my late daughter’s husband? My daughter had been married to “John� for 10 years at the time of her death. They had two young children. John has since remarried and his wife has adopted the children. We have a close relationship, but I am unsure how to introduce both of them. (They are also aunt and uncle to my other grandchildren.) – Judith in San Jose Dear Judith: The family history does not have to be explained at the time you introduce them. I see no reason why you should feel compelled to explain that your daughter died and John remarried, etc. Why not just say, “This is John and Mary, and our grandkids, Laurie and Jimmy�?

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Follow the money, find your teen BY BETH J. HARPAZ AP TRAVEL EDITOR
N
EW YORK – You could wait a long time for a teenager who’s traveling to call home or even text. But there’s another way to see what your kid is up to: Follow the money. Before sending teens off on a trip, make sure you have online access to any bank and credit card accounts they’ll be using. You’ll want to monitor their transactions anyway, to see that they’re staying on budget, and to make sure their accounts
haven’t been hijacked by thieves. But there’s another reason to monitor how the kids are spending their money: It will give you some clues as to their whereabouts and activities. Last summer, I sent my 16-year-old son and two other teenagers – without an adult – to six countries in Europe. They stayed in hostels, traveled by train, and none of them had cell phones. But by monitoring their ATM and credit card activity online, I could get a sense of their whereabouts.
AP
Dutch teenage tourists check a Paris map outside Notre Dame cathedral.
Did they make the overnight train from Barcelona to Paris? A record of a cash withdrawal from the Eiffel Tower ATM of the Banque Nationale de Paris told me everything I needed to know. When their itinerary called for them to be in Germany, I saw a withdrawal from a Deutsche Bank ATM near the Berlin Zoo. On the day they were to travel by ferry to Denmark, there was a credit card charge in kroner. If I had to do it again, I would make sure, when sending a teenager abroad, that he or she did have a phone. But following the money gave me some peace of mind. Here are some other tips and advice for parents sending kids overseas, both from my own experience and from some experts. Book and prepay lodging, trains and planes in advance to cut down on the need for cash and credit. But kids will need some local currency in their pockets when they arrive, as well as a way to get more cash and charge expenses later on. Shop around for the best deals on foreign currency at home. My local savings bank offered the best conversion rate and no fee on the transaction.
I sent each teen with cash to cover food and local transportation for three days. After that, they used ATM cards to get local currency there. Withdrawals should be made every few days instead of every day to cut down on transaction fees. Many parents buy prepaid, preloaded cards from credit card companies and other outlets that limit how much money teens have access to at any one time. Parents can reload the cards electronically from home.

ahlias have long been a flower in Southern landscapes. Many varieties abound in all heights from one to five feet tall with blooms the size of quarters to saucers. Colors are just as varied along with bloom type with different shapes of petals. Taller varieties can be outstanding cut flowers since the blooms do not shatter or wither quickly after cutting. Native to Mexico and Central America, the plants actually form a fleshy tuber underground where water is stored so they can withstand hot summers. They have great landscape performance and bloom from late spring through the summer.

This week’s deals have treated declarer’s handling of single-suit combinations. To try your skill, cover the East-West cards. You duck West’s king of spades, and on the next spade, East discards a diamond. You take the ace and count eight top tricks. You lead a club, and when West follows with the four, you play dummy’s six. You must lose at least one club but don’t want to lose to West. East wins and leads a diamond, and you take the king and cash the A-K of clubs. Alas, West throws a diamond.
END PLAY Next you lead a heart. If West played an honor, you could take the ace, cash two more diamonds and exit with a spade, hoping to end-play West to lead from the other heart honor. But when West plays low, you play dummy’s nine. You hope West had honor-x or honor-x-x. East takes the jack, cashes a club and leads another diamond. You win, take the ace of hearts, lead a diamond to your hand and cash the king of hearts. When the queen falls from West, your 10
HOROSCOPE
CROSSWORD
Saturday, July 17, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Alex Winter, 45; J. Michael Straczynski, 56; David Hasselhoff, 58; Diahann Carroll, 75 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Emotional matters will keep you occupied this year. Try not to neglect the financial and professional areas of your life. Productivity will be the key to your success and can take your mind off stressful personal issues. You may have extra burdens, so be quick to enlist the help of friends and relatives so you can avoid a loss. Your numbers are 10, 14, 22, 27, 34, 39, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Concentrate on what needs to be accomplished or you will end up dealing with a pushy individual trying to take up your time and space. Get out and do something with a friend who doesn’t judge you. Find a place where you can relax. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ignore comments made by someone trying to upset you. Focus on what you can do and the people you want to spend time with. Rise above any conflict you face. You can eliminate the stress in your life through positive action. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can expect to endure problems with loved ones and friends. Avoid arguments by using your quick wit and imaginative ideas. Take a position of leadership, even if you are uncertain. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ignore what is going on around you that is distracting and is making you question your next move. You can make some worthwhile changes at home that will make your life better. Love is on the rise. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Spell out your plans for the future and you will receive some interesting feedback. Don’t expect everyone to like what you propose.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 6 5 3 2 H A 9 D K 6 4 C A 9 6 2. Your partner opens 1NT, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: North in today’s deal responded with two clubs, the Stayman convention, and most players would have done the same. Since the spades are headed by the six, a case exists for a direct raise to 3NT. But the values are prime – better for suit play – and the extra trick a 4-4 spade fit might provide might prove vital. South dealer N-S vulnerable
ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Exercise guidelines are not rocket science
D
ear Dr. Donohue: You have written several times in the past about the formula used to determine the training zone for exercise. It’s the one where you deduct your age from 220 and then take 60 percent to 75 percent of that number for obtaining the low and high heartbeat rate that puts you in the zone for benefiting from the exercise. I am 45. Following that rule, I have a lower heart rate of 105 and an upper heart rate of 140. I don’t feel like I am exercising when my heart beats only 105 times a minute, and I am far from pushing myself when it beats 140. I think that formula gives way too low numbers for most people. – J.M.
BLONDIE
B.C.
One of the elements of exercise is its intensity. It has to tax the body enough to obtain healthful benefits, but it can’t be so strenuous that it’s a danger for people, especially older people. That 220 rule might not tax you or the well-trained, but it is safe for everyone. Since a rise in the heartbeat is a way to determine exercise intensity, pulse taken during exercise serves as a good guide for gauging whether the exercise is doing anything for you. Other rules exist for checking how fast the heart must beat. One is as follows: multiply your age by 0.8. For you, that is 36. Subtract that number from

214; for you, that’s 178. Take 85 percent of that number as your upper limit for HEALTH heart rate, and take 70 Dr. Paul percent as Donohue your lower ■■■ heart rate limit. Your training zone is 125 to 151 heartbeats (pulse) per minute. For a fit person, that isn’t a dangerous zone. For a beginner or older person, it might be. All this math isn’t necessary. A good rule to observe for things like walking and jogging is to do so at a pace that allows you to carry on a conversation. Or you can use perceived exertion, something I also have written about many times. The exerciser determines if the exercise is too easy, moderate or too rigorous. Keep exercise at an intensity you believe is moderate for you. Dear Dr. Donohue: My boyfriend’s feet sweat terribly. His socks are wringing wet when he takes his shoes off after running. I have told him to wear cotton socks, and he made the change. I don’t see any improvement. Would a different kind of sock be better? – H.M. Acrylic is a better material. It wicks moisture away from the feet.
Dusting powders and a change of socks will improve the situation. Have him carry an extra pair with him when he runs. Damp feet invite fungal infections. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a question that popped into my mind. What causes cauliflower ears? I don’t hear this talked about anymore. It used to be a common thing for boxers. – J.J. Cauliflower ears are swollen, bumpy and disfigured. They result when there’s bleeding between the ear’s skin and the ear’s cartilage. If a pool of blood forms in that area, unless it’s drained, the blood can eventually become calcified. You don’t see them as much anymore because helmets are used in most contact sports now. Dear Dr. Donohue: I expect sore muscles the day after I exercise hard. They tell me I had a real workout. When my muscles are sore, I take the day off. I’ve been told to exercise regardless of sore muscles. Do you agree? – M.O. A low level of exercise circulates blood to aching muscles and quickens healing. All-out exercise doesn’t give the muscles a chance to fully recover. Don’t do resistance exercises (weightlifting) with the same muscles on consecutive days.

Wind wins Day 2 ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) – Around the loop at the far end of St. Andrews, shots at the mercy of a vicious wind were flying in every direction as Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and so many others struggled to survive in the British Open. Just as daunting was one thing that didn’t move – the name of Louis Oosthuizen atop the leaderboard. It stayed there over the final 11 hours on a Friday when the mood of the Old Course turned foul. Oosthuizen finished his 5-under 67 just as the flags starting whipping and the grandstands creaked from gusts that topped 40 mph, forcing a round to be halted for the first time in 12 years at the British Open. “She was naked yesterday,” Tom Watson said, “but she put on her boxing gloves today and just hit us with all she had.” The next battle is catching Oosthuizen (WUHST’hy-zen). The 27-year-old South African, who had made only one cut in his previous eight majors, was at 12-under 132 and had a five-shot lead, the largest after 36 holes in this major since Bobby Clampett at Royal Troon in 1982. Equally surprising was the guy right behind him – Mark Calcavecchia, who turned 50 a month ago and shot 67 in the morning when players only had to cope with a light wind and short spells of rain. A pair of Englishmen, Lee Westwood (71) and Paul Casey (69), were at 6-under 138. At least an exasperating day ended with a heartwarming moment. Watson, the 60-year-old who came within an 8-foot putt of winning last year at Turnberry, played his final Open round at St. Andrews, the only Scottish links where he didn’t win the claret jug. The five-time champion leaned over to kiss the Swilcan Bridge, then posed atop the stone arch just as Arnold Palmer did in 1995 and Jack Nicklaus did in 2000 and 2005. The cut will not be made until this morning, but it was unlikely to go further than 2-over par.

This was one Grisz who was really bearing down Friday night. Thomasville starter Ben Grisz dialed up the heat against the Gastonia Grizzlies at Finch Field but settled for a no-decision despite striking out 10 in 10 innings. In photo below, the HiToms’ Alex Yarbrough races safely into third as Gastonia’s Austin Potter takes the throw.
Visitors steal thriller BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
THOMASVILLE – Ben Grisz turned in a sterling pitching performance over 10 innings Friday night. Unable to get any offensive support, his 10 strikeouts and one run allowed all went for naught after he was replaced for the 11th. Gastonia turned a couple of hit batsmen, a passed ball and two hits into two runs in the top of the second extra inning and hung on to defeat the HiToms 3-2 when pinchrunner Chris Fritts’ attempt to steal home ended the game in the bottom of the 11th. The HiToms fell to 2-12 in the Coastal Plain League second half and 12-30 overall. Gastonia is 8-5, 26-16. Thomasville’s undoing started when relief pitcher Nate Striz plunked Grizzlies relief pitcher Sam Pepper, who then went to second on a passed ball. Thomas Brittle bunted his way on as Pep-
per went to third. Brittle then stole second and – after two strikeouts – Striz hit David Chester to load the bases. Pepper then scored on a passed ball and Dallas Burke followed with an RBI single that scored what turned out to be the winning run. Striz took the loss. The Tommies didn’t go quietly despite not scoring a run since the first inning. In the bottom of the 11th, reliever Seth Grant hit leadoff man Kyle Grieshaber, who went to third on designated hitter Daniel Kassouf’s infield hit and then scored when Tanner Mathis reached on an infield hit to short. Fritts, running for Kassouf, reached third on a sacrifice bunt. After a strikeout, he broke for home as Kyle Barbeck waited at the plate, but was called out on a close play. Before the wild 11th, all of the offense came in the first two innings. The HiToms got on the board first thanks to gifts by Gastonia pitcher
Jordan Underwood and catcher Justin Dunning after Alex Yarbrough stroked a lead-off single. Yarbrough went to second on a passed ball, took third on a wild pitch and then scored when Dunning let the ball sail to the backstop when Zak Wasserman swung for a third strike that would have been the third out. Gastonia then knotted the game when David Chester led off the second by drilling one of Grisz’s offerings over the fence in the direction of Ball Park Road. That would be the last mistake he made, however, with Grisz ending his 10 innings of work having allowing just six hits and two walks. The HiToms travel to Martinsville today and then are idle for the CPL All-Star break. A Fan Fest – including the home run derby –will be held Monday, with the game being played Tuesday at Forest City. Thomasville returns to Finch Field vs. Forest City next Friday. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

T
he Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers play Game 3 of their four-game series tonight at Turner Field. This is always one of my favorite matchups of the season, because it pits the former Home of the Braves (Milwaukee) against the current locale for America’s Team (Atlanta). For some reason, this showdown also reminds me of Braves’ legend Eddie Mathews. The Hall of Fame third baseman spent most of his stellar career with the Braves. He is the only man in history to play for the Braves in Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta. But Mathews is much more than a footnote
in the trivia books. The guy could flat play. He finished his career with a .271 batting average, 512 homers and 1,453 RBIs. He slugged at least 30 homers for nine straight seasons and captured two National League home run crowns (1953, 1959). Mathews was a 12-time All-Star who also played in three World Series. He sparked the Milwaukee Braves to the 1957 World Series title and played for the Tigers’ 1968 World Champions. The Braves fell to the Yankees in the 1958 World Series. Plus, Mathews has local ties. He started his pro career in 1949 with the old Hi-Toms, a
Braves farm club. He wasted no time emerging as a can’t-miss prospect, slugging 17 homers in 63 games, and batting .363 with 56 RBIs. And of course, there is another great historic tie between the Braves and Brewers. Hank Aaron closed his Hall of Fame career with the Milwaukee Brewers in the mid1970s after nearly two decades of superstardom with the Braves. What a terrific big-league legacy Milwaukee and Atlanta share.

Speedy guard Danquill “DQ” Sherrill signed Friday to play basketball next year for Davidson County Community College. The 5-foot5 point guard is transferring from Southern Carolina Prep of Charlotte. “DQ is amazingly quick,” Storm coach Matt Ridge said. “He certainly fits our style of play. DQ reminds me of (Storm star) Landon Bowers. A lot people were scared to take a chance on him because of his size, but I think he will compete for playing time for us.” Sherrill averaged 11.4 points and 7.4 assists per game last year. Also Friday, the Storm signed Nick Boston. The 6-5 athlete from Raeford can play multiple positions. Boston played at Hoke County High before transferring to Mt. Zion Christian Academy in Durham. As a senior there, he averaged 10 points and 10 rebounds per

Dampier dealing to stay with â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Cats THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Erick Dampier began his pro career playing for Larry Brown. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not opposed to finishing it playing for Brown again, even if the Charlotte Bobcats void the final year of his contract. The newly acquired center indicated Friday the Bobcats would get the first chance to re-sign him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; presumably for a much smaller salary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if they decide to wipe out the non-guaranteed $13 million due in the final year of his deal to clear salary-cap space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would obviously give Charlotte the first opportunity and see what they say, see if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in me,â&#x20AC;? Dampier explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go from there. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not interested in me, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there are other teams out there that could
possibly be interested.â&#x20AC;? The 6-foot-11 Dampierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career began in Indiana when he was the 10th overall pick of the Pacers, then coached by the well-traveled Brown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Practices were hard. He was hard on the rookies, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good coach,â&#x20AC;? Dampier said. The Bobcats acquired the 34-year-old Dampier from Dallas on Tuesday in a five-player deal. The Mavericks had been dangling Dampier for weeks to teams in need of salary cap relief, with dreams as robust as using his contract in a sign-and-trade to get LeBron James, Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, and the Mavericks eventually settled on sending Dampier, Matt Carroll and Eduardo Najera to the Bobcats for centers Tyson Chandler and Alexis Ajinca.

Staff Sgt. Mikki Skinner, a bugler with the West Point Band, salutes after playing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tapsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; during a tribute to New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner on Friday night before the Yankees played Tampa Bay.
Yankees honor lost legends THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mariano Rivera laid red roses across home plate. Tears filled Joe Girardiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. Derek Jeterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face was flush with emotion. As fans stood through â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tapsâ&#x20AC;? and a 2-minute moment of silence, the 27 World Series championship flags that George Steinbrenner cherished with all his might could be heard flapping at half-staff toward center field in the stiff breeze. The New York Yankees celebrated the life of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bossâ&#x20AC;? with a solemn 15-minute pregame tribute Friday night that included an emotional remembrance from Jeter, spoken to the crowd from behind the plate before New York played Tampa Bay. Steinbrenner, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving and blustery owner, died Tuesday, two days after the death of Bob Sheppard, Yankee Stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime public-address an-

In this file photo from last season, Orlando Magic guard J.J. Redick (right) drives past Charlotte guard Larry Hughes during a playoff game. Redick learned Friday that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be staying in Orlando rather than heading to Chicago.
Magic pays up for Redick ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The only place J.J. Redick is heading is to the bank. In a move that highlights his remarkable NBA turnaround, the same Orlando Magic team that once benched Redick shelled out $19 million Friday to retain the shooting guard. They matched a three-year offer sheet that the Chicago Bulls made for Redick last week that could cost Orlando much more. The decision drives the Magic deeper into the luxury tax and gives them one of the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest payrolls at about $93 million next season. The move keeps Orlandoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster mostly intact as the Magic hope continuity will overcome Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All-Star trio and Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Big Three in the East. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it came down to it, when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do here, it came down for me to pedigree, DNA, things that most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about,â&#x20AC;? Orlando general manager Otis Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was less about the money for me, being the basketball guy, and more about keeping a guy around that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in our organization for the past four years.â&#x20AC;? Because Redick was a restricted free agent, Orlando had seven days to match the contract. Billionaire owner Rich DeVos and team president Bob Vander Weide took all seven days to make the move that nearly doubles Redickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary from last season.
F1 STAR IN NASCAR RIDE

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former Indianapolis 500 champion and Formula One star Jacques Villeneuve is heading back to the Brickyard. Villeneuve will attempt to qualify the No. 32 Toyota for Braun Racing in NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Cup visit to the historic 2.5-mile oval on July 25. Villeneuve drove for Braun Racing in the Nationwide Series race at Road America last month, qualifying second and leading three laps before an electrical problem late in the race relegated him to 25th. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a very exciting and solid race last month,â&#x20AC;? Villeneuve said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had hoped it would result in additional opportunities for the organization.â&#x20AC;? The 39-year-old Canadian won the Indy 500. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raced fulltime on any circuit since 2005. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made two Cup starts, both in 2007.
nouncer, and New York returned home following the All-Star break to mark what both meant to a franchise obsessed with its tradition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gather here tonight to honor two men who were both shining stars in the Yankee universe,â&#x20AC;? Jeter said as teammates and the Rays stood ramrod straight, caps off, in front of their dugouts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both men, Mr. George Steinbrenner and Mr. Bob Sheppard, cared deeply about their responsibilities to this organization and to our fans, and for that, will be forever remembered in baseball history and in our hearts.â&#x20AC;? The new ballpark, opened last year in one of Steinbrennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final acts, could not have been quieter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simply put,â&#x20AC;? Jeter said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Steinbrenner and Mr. Sheppard both left this organization in a much better place than when they first arrived. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set the example for all employees of the New York Yankees to strive to follow.â&#x20AC;?
Steinbrenner died of a heart attack at age 80 after 371â &#x201E;2 years as owner of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous team. Sheppard, whose elegant and booming introductions gave old Yankee Stadium its voice from 1951-07, was 99 when he died.
CUBS 4, PHILLIES 3 CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Aramis Ramirez homered with two outs in the eighth inning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his third hit of the game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as Chicago rallied past Philadelphia on Friday. Ramirezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th homer came off Ryan Madson (2-1) and gave him 14 RBIs in his last eight games. Sean Marshall (6-2) pitched the eighth in relief of Ted Lilly and Carlos Marmol struck out the side in the ninth for his 17th save. Ryan Howard hit his 20th homer in the sixth, his third home run in two games, and it put the Phils up 3-1. Marlon Byrd hit his 10th homer for the Cubs. Shane Victorino homered for the Phillies.
Danica turns over new leaf in Toronto TORONTO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Danica Patrick is going back to basics in the Honda Indy Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to really try to come at it with a slightly different approach and stop chasing every little thing that I feel and just start focusing on my driving and just try to keep it really simple,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to be said for being able to know what you have when you go out on a street course, especially, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as an old driving coach said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be pretty, it just has to be fast.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? The race Sunday is the second of five straight street or road races before the season ends with four oval events. In the first five street and road events of the year, Patrick finished 15th, seventh, 19th, 16th and 20th. Last year in the first IndyCar Series race on the 1.755-mile, 11-turn street course at Exhibition Place, Patrick started 18th and finished sixth. She also raced at the track in Formula Atlantic in 2003 and 2004. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love coming to Toronto,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great city and a great race track. I know street courses are a little notorious for being hard to pass and being a lot of follow the leader, but I was really impressed last year, see-
Next Duke point guard enjoying summer tests
ing just how we were able to get runs on the back straight and make things happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bumpy and feels a little narrow, but it has passing, something that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always happen on a street course.â&#x20AC;? She was 24th last week in the Nationwide race at Chicagoland Speedway, her best finish in five starts for owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. in NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-tier series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really enjoying it,â&#x20AC;? Patrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of really great people. The drivers are very generous with their advice and time. ... Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humbling, to say the least, at times, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also very rewarding, too, when I finally get it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of passing, and passingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to do.â&#x20AC;? Chip Ganassi Racingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scott Dixon led the first practice session at 98.850 mph, and Andrettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan HunterReay topped the chart in the second at 101.668. Series leader Will Power was fourth at 101.341. Coming off a victory July 4 at Watkins Glen, the Australian has a 32-point lead over Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough out there,â&#x20AC;? said Power. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one really has a big advantage. You have to be up on the wheel and really drive the car hard.â&#x20AC;?

DURHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kyrie Irving hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had to wait long to find out how he stacks up in a loaded freshman class on Tobacco Road. Defending national champion Duke doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start formal preseason practice for another three months, and hallowed Cameron Indoor Stadium wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play host to any games that matter until mid-November. But in a tiny gym across town, in a summer league packed with both bigname freshmen and established players, the highly regarded point guard has shown flashes of what he hopes to bring to the Blue
Devils. From ankle-twisting moves off the dribble to smooth pull-up jumpers to leaping alley-oops in transition, Irving has shown he very well could live up to the hype. Watching YouTube videos of John Wall tearing up the S.J.G. Greater NC Pro Am league last summer made Irving want to do the same thing. He scored 35 points in his debut earlier this week against a team led by Kansas State transfer Dominique Sutton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of great players out here. ... You saw Dominique Sutton pick me up full-court, and I need that,â&#x20AC;? Irving
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially in the league that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m playing in this year.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got plenty of company here this summer, because the collection of high-profile freshmen in this league reads like a ballot for the 2011 At-
lantic Coast Conference rookie of the year award. Harrison Barnes and Reggie Bullock of North Carolina are here at N.C. Central, and so are C.J. Leslie and Lorenzo Brown of N.C. State and Duke classmate Josh Hairston.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) – The name on his passport – Lodewicus Theodorus – sounds like it belongs in a Wagner opera. His nickname among friends – Shrek – is not much better. Louis Oosthuizen found a better way to make a name for himself Friday at St. Andrews, where he carefully navigated the Old Course through light wind and short spells of rain for a 5-under 67 to take the early lead in the British Open. A long putt through the Valley of Sin on the 18th hole, and the birdie putt from just inside 15 feet that followed, put the 27year-old South African at 12-under 132. “It’s probably the position anyone wants to be in playing a major on the weekend,” Oosthuizen said. It’s a position he doesn’t know very well. Oosthuizen (WUHST’hy-zen) had played eight majors when he arrived at St. Andrews. He missed the cut in seven of them, the exception coming in the 2008 PGA Champion-
ship at Oakland Hills, where he finished last. “It wasn’t very great, was it?” said Oosthuizen, flashing the gap-tooth grin that earned him the Shrek moniker. “It was a matter of not believing in myself, I think. Everyone around here is telling me, ‘You’ve got the shots, you’re playing well.’ And again, that win earlier this season just got my mind set in a different way.” He won his first European Tour event in Spain this spring, his fourth victory worldwide. The South African most would have expected atop the leaderboard was Ernie Els, and in a way, Els was a part of this. If not for the Ernie Els Foundation in South Africa, Oosthuizen might not be at St. Andrews, or anywhere in golf. Oosthuizen comes from a tennis-mad family, but quickly switched to golf when he put a club in his hand. The trouble came with finances, for the travel required to develop his game proved to be too much for the son of a farmer. That was about the time the Ernie Els
& Fancourt Foundation began to identify young South Africans from families of limited resources. He was 17 when he began with the foundation, leaving when he turned pro. “It was unbelievable what he did for me, traveling around the country, helping with expenses, things like that,” Oosthuizen said. “He’s such a good mentor. And probably without him, those three years I’ve been in his foundation, I wouldn’t have been here.” Els identified talent, all right. Oosthuizen teamed with Charl Schwartzel to win the 2000 World Junior Team Championship. Two years later on his home course at Mossel Bay Club along the famed Garden Route, he shot a 57. That was great pressure knowing what was at stake, even though he was playing with friends. Oosthuizen needed to birdie one of the last three holes for a 59, and instead he chipped in for eagle on the 17th and birdied the last. Now comes more pressure. He appears up for it.
Calcavecchia has one for the ages THE BRITISH OPEN NOTEBOOK: ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – This year, it’s Mark Calcavecchia doing the old guys proud. The 1989 British Open champion posted the early low score of the day with a 5-under 67 Friday, his best round ever at the Old Course. Pretty good for a guy making the shuffle to the senior tour after turning 50 on June 12. “It’s confidence,” Calcavecchia said. “You see a guy like Tom Watson last year almost winning at 60. It doesn’t really matter how old you are if you’re feeling good about what you’re doing. I think old guys can hang with the young guys.” And nowhere, it seems, is age merely a number than at the British Open. Two years ago, Greg Norman nearly won his third claret jug at 53, taking a two-shot lead into the final round at Royal Birkdale. Watson’s showing at Turnberry last year was even more amazing. A few months shy of his 60th birthday, he went to the 72nd hole with a one-stroke lead. Both fell short of becoming
the oldest major champion in golf history, a title that still belongs to Julius Boros, who was 48 when he captured the 1968 PGA. Now it’s up to Calcavecchia to see if he can finish the senior surge. “It’s a good spot to be in,” Calcavecchia said. “I didn’t really think about where I was going to be in the tournament. I’m just happy to have a tee time for tomorrow.” It’s been a while since Calcavecchia has been in the mix at a major, and Norman and Watson set the bar pretty high. But Calcavecchia is going to enjoy this. “When you’re 30, I don’t think you think about it. I thought 50year-olds were pretty (darn) old when I was 30,” Calcavecchia said. “Or your parents are 50, you think, ‘How can anybody be that old?’ But now that I’m 50, you really don’t think about what you were thinking about when you were 30. I haven’t grown up any. I may feel 50 or 60. But inside, I’m still 30.”
DRAMA FINDS DALY – AGAIN Playing in wind gusting so hard it was tough to keep a cigarette lit, John Daly made
AP
Phil Mickelson walks along the third fairway during the second round of the British Open on the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland. Mickelson has scrambled both days for a 144 total. another big move on the British Open leaderboard Friday – backward. A day after matching his best round at the British, golf’s favorite sideshow stormed off the Old Course after shooting a 4-over 76. And he’s not even totally out of it. At 2-under for the tournament, he’s 10 strokes behind leader Louis Oosthuizen. But he’s only five behind Mark Calcavecchia, and four strokes behind the group at 6-under. Daly is perhaps golf’s most colorful figure – and it’s not
because of those garish pants he sports. (He broke out the hot pink paisley for the second round, pairing them with a lime green cap and a shirt that was just a shade quieter. Not to be outdone, his girlfriend wore leggings that matched his pants.) That Daly is a unique talent has never been in question. But his nickname was “Wild Thing,” and he did his best to live up to it. At 44, the toll of his hard living etched on his face, even Daly seems to have had enough of his high-wire act.
Lion roars into championship match at Public Links GREENSBORO (AP) – Lion Kim birdied his final two holes to beat Kevin Phelan in the semifinals of the U.S. Amateur Public Links on Friday, and will face David McDaniel for the championship at Bryan Park Golf and Conference Center. The 21-year-old senior-to-be from the University of Michigan beat
Phelan, who plays for North Florida, 1 up after making two long putts on the final two holes. McDaniel also won 1 up over Pepperdine’s Josh Anderson to set up today’s final 36-hole test. Kim trailed Phelan by two holes through No. 12 before finally getting hot.
The 25-year-old McDaniel, from Tucson, Ariz., took the lead in his match by winning Nos. 13 and 14, then finished off Anderson with a par as light rain fell on the last hole. Three of the four quarterfinal matches earlier in the day went to extra holes.
Tour drama: Here comes Contador TOUR DE FRANCE GLANCE
---
MENDE, France (AP) – A brief look at Friday’s 12th stage: Stage: The sinewy route featured five mid-grade climbs on a 130.8-mile trek from Bourg-dePeage to Mende, finishing with a short but punishing category 2 ascent up Cote de la Croix-Neuve. Yellow Jersey: Andy Schleck of Luxembourg kept the yellow jersey, but his lead was trimmed. Quote of the Day: “I’m happy I lost only 10 seconds in the end.” – Schleck. Next stage: The 13th stage today takes riders 121.7 miles from Rodez to Revel, over five low-level climbs.
MENDE, France (AP) – Alberto Contador sent a message Friday to Tour de France leader Andy Schleck: Here I come. The two-time Tour champion dropped the Luxembourg rider on the steep final climb of the 12th stage, the Spaniard’s first bold attack of the race gaining him crucial seconds in the title chase. Joaquin Rodriguez, a Spaniard with the Katusha team, got stagewin glory by edging Contador in a two-man sprint at the finish of the 131-mile course from Bourg-dePeage to Mende. Contador was content to cut 10 precious seconds from his deficit to Schleck and was 31 seconds behind after the stage. Samuel Sanchez of Spain was a distant third, 2
minutes, 45 seconds off the pace. The race has shaped up as a duel between Contador and Schleck, who are seemingly unparalleled in the climbs – and the Pyrenees await as the arena where their rivalry will play out beginning Sunday. Schleck wants to have the biggest lead possible before the race’s final time trial against the clock on the eve of the July 25 finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Friday’s stage finish was destined for drama. Contador and Rodriguez burst out of the pack near the midpoint of the steep final climb, dusting Schleck and several others. Rodriguez then outsprinted Contador in the last few hundred yards to get his first stage win in his first Tour. Both were given a time of 4:58.26.
He’s lost almost 100 pounds since having Lap-Band surgery in February 2009, and said he quit drinking. He’s working on his game again now that rib and back injuries have healed. The work showed Thursday, when he took advantage of the mild morning conditions to shoot a 66. As Tom Watson likes to say, though, what the course gives one day it will take the next, and St. Andrews sure did. And not even Daly’s booming shots could overcome wind gusts of 41 mph.
ATHLETES, ACTOR LEAD TAHOE CELEBS TOURNEY

STATELINE, Nev. (AP) – Former NFL quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver, actor Jack Wagner and former NHL star Jeremy Roenick shared the first round lead at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe. Tolliver has won the 20-year-old tournament twice before and Wagner once. The trio of leaders tallied 26 points in a modified Stableford scoring format that puts a premium on eagles and birdies and penalizes double bogeys. Eight-time champ Rick Rhoden was five points back.

Congress acts, but bank bill has work ahead WASHINGTON (AP) – In the end, it’s only a beginning. The far-reaching new banking and consumer protection bill that President Barack Obama intends to sign on Wednesday now shifts from the politicians to the technocrats. The legislation gives regulators latitude and time to come up with new rules, requires scores of studies and, in some instances, depends on international agreements falling into place. For Wall Street, the next phase represents

McDonald’s cancels free smoothie event OAK BROOK, Ill. – McDonald’s Corp. is scrapping plans to offer free samples its new smoothies because it’s worried it would run out of the fruit drinks. In a statement late Thursday, the fast-food chain’s chief marketing officer called the fruit-flavored yogurt drinks “an absolute hit,” with “unprecedented demand.” Sales of the drinks officially began this week, but were already being sold in certain parts of the country.
Hyundai Heavy to build 1st US plant MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries is locating its first American manufacturing plant in Alabama, creating about 500 jobs. Company executives joined state and local officials Friday to announce the $90 million project will be located in Montgomery. The plant will make large power transformers, weighing over 500 tons each. Chief Executive J.S. Lee said groundbreaking will be in about a month with production beginning in early 2012. He estimated the plant will turn out more than 200 transformers annually.
Citigroup reports rise in profits NEW YORK – Citigroup Inc. said Friday it earned $2.7 billion during the second quarter. The big bank’s profits rose because fewer people were falling behind in their loan payments during the April-June period. It was the fourth straight quarter that Citigroup’s loan losses dipped, which allowed it to release some money from reserves it had been holding for future losses. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

continuing uncertainty. It also offers banks and other financial institutions yet another opportunity to influence and shape the rules that govern their businesses. In hailing the bill’s passage in the Senate on Thursday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner acknowledged that implementing the new law will take time. “But we are determined to move as quickly as we can to provide clarity and certainty,” he said. Among the first impacts of the bill, which Obama is expected to sign as ear-
ly as Wednesday, will be the immediate creation of a 10-member Financial Stability Oversight Council, a powerful assembly of regulators chaired by the treasury secretary to keep watch over the entire financial system. The Obama administration has one year to create a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. Congress will keep its eye on that agency, eager to see whom Obama chooses as its director. The agency will have vast powers to enforce regulations covering mortgages, credit cards and other financial products.
BofA reports $2.78 billion in earnings NEW YORK (AP) – Bank of America said Friday its second-quarter net income rose 15 percent to $2.78 billion as improvements in the company’s consumer loan businesses made up for a drop in trading revenue. The bank’s results beat expectations and provided further evidence that losses from failed loans at the nation’s big banks may have peaked in the first half of 2010. Bank of America says it reserves to cover losses from loans fell 17 percent from the first quarter of this year and 39 percent from a year ago. In a statement, Bank of America chief executive Brian Moynihan said the
company’s “credit quality improved even faster than we expected.” Bank of America’s second-quarter net income, which reflected the payment of dividends on preferred stock, amounted to 27 cents per share. A year ago, the bank earned $2.42 billion, or 33 cents per share. Analysts expected profit of 22 cents per share in the most recent quarter, according to Thomson Reuters. Revenue totaled nearly $30 billion in the quarter, down 11 percent from a year ago. Despite the higher profit, investors took a dim view of the company’s results. Bank of America’s stock fell $1.16, or 7.54 percent, to $14.23.
Early success capping leak boosts BP shares LONDON (AP) – Shares in BP PLC shot higher and then retreated in London on Friday as the market veered between hope and caution over encouraging early signs of progress in stopping the Gulf of Mexico oil leak. BP said it had stopped the leak Thursday night, but that was only the start of up to 48 hours of tests to determine whether the cap would hold. BP shares finished up 5.4 percent at 407.15 pence after zooming as much as 8 percent higher in early trading, then retreating at one point to 403.7 pence. Still, the oil company’s shares were up by more than a third since briefly falling be-
low 300 pence late last month. Jonathan Jackson, head of equities at Killik and Co. in London, said a bout of profit-taking was understandable given the share price rebound since late June and continued uncertainty about how much the company will be damaged by the Gulf disaster. “Only once the flow of oil has been stemmed can the market begin to gain some visibility over the cost of the cleanup and potential liability for damages,” Jackson said. “However, the latest announcement brings this point ever closer.” The company remained cautious about developments.

NEW YORK (AP) – Investors are finding disappointment everywhere and taking out their frustration on stocks. Stocks slumped Friday after banks’ secondquarter earnings fell short of expectations and a new survey found that consumers are becoming more pessimistic. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 261 points, and all the major market indexes dropped more than 2.5 percent. Interest rates fell in the Treasury market as investors once again sought the safety of government securities. The market fell at the opening after Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. released earnings. The two banks, like JPMorgan Chase & Co. a day earlier, reported higher earnings as losses from failed loans fell. But they are also seeing lower trading revenue because of the stock market’s plunge this spring. The drop in revenue raised questions about how banks will be able to make big profits if trading is curtailed by new federal regulations. Stocks fell further after a twice-monthly survey from the University of Michigan and Reuters found that consumers’ gloom is increasing. An index of consumer sentiment compiled from the survey fell to 66.5 in early July from 76.

earthquake rattled windows and jostled dishes but apparently caused no serious damage. President Barack Obama told reporters he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel it. Though Californians who have earthquakes of this size almost weekly may scoff, it was the strongest to hit within 30 miles of D.C. since officials began keeping records in 1974. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., joked on Twitter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Small earthquake in DC this morning ... someone must have dropped a copy of ObamaCare,â&#x20AC;? the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care legislation. The quake happened at 5:04 a.m. and was centered around Rockville, Md.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Earthquakes are so rare in the Washington area that even a geology student wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite sure what was going on when a minor one hit early Friday. Was it a truck passing by? A low-flying plane? Gerasimos Michalitsianos, who will be a senior at the University of Maryland, College Park, was sitting on his couch looking at e-mails when the 3.6-magnitude temblor occurred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually know that I was in an earthquake,â&#x20AC;? said Michalitsianos, who is studying postseismic relaxation, how the ground changes following major earthquakes. Michalitsianos said he only found out heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been through an earthquake when he looked online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a rare treat to see an earthquake occur here on the East Coast and to actually feel it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

NJ parking garage collapses

Rescuers use electronic equipment to check for missing people at the front of apartment building.
HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) – A glass canopy attached to a high-rise condominium building fell onto a parking garage two stories below on Friday, partially collapsing the underground structure and trapping at least one person, authorities said. Using a remote-controlled camera, rescuers could see the victim in a car on the first level down but couldn’t get to the person because they were concerned about the possibility of another collapse at the three-story garage, Hackensack fire Lt. Stephen Lindner said. They could not determine the victim’s condition. Crews were clearing debris and shoring up the structure before they could attempt to rescue the victim. “We are absolutely making progress” in getting to the victim, Lindner said. “We have engineers on the scene, but right now it looks like the building is structurally sound.” Authorities were checking out whether another person might also be trapped, Lindner said. Surveillance
cameras detected a car in motion on the lowest level of the garage around the time of the collapse, but authorities weren’t sure whether the driver made it out, he said. The garage pancaked when the canopy fell on it, damaging vehicles. The top of the garage, level with the street, was littered with dirt, debris and glass, and the pavement split into chunks. Rachel LaValle, 26, said she was driving out of the garage and had reached the street level when she noticed a cloud of thick white dust. Mistaking it for smoke, she got out of her car to check for a fire. Then, seeing through the dust to the part of the garage that had collapsed, she got back in her car, shifted it into reverse, parked and ran out of the garage. She saw water spilling out of pipes and a big hole where part of the garage had once stood. “There was still dirt coming down at me,” she said. It’s unclear why the canopy fell from the 22-year-old building.
Feds: Pressure readings from well not as good as hoped NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Pressure readings have been less than ideal from the new cap shutting oil into BP’s busted well, but the crude will remain locked in while engineers look for evidence of whether there is an undiscovered leak, the federal pointman for the disaster said Friday. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said on a conference call that pressure readings from the cap have not reached the level that would show there are no new leaks in the well. Allen said BP’s test of the cap, which started 24 hours previously by shutting three valves and stopping the flow of oil into the water, would continue for at least 6 hours. It was scheduled to last up to 48 hours.
He said the developments were “generally good news” but needed close monitoring. Allen said there are two possible reasons being debated by scientists on the project for why the pressure hasn’t risen as high as desired: The reservoir that is the source of the oil could be depleting after a three-month spill, or there could be an undiscovered leak somewhere down in the well. “We don’t know because we don’t know the exact condition of the well bore,” Allen said. He said the test will go ahead for another 6-hour period before being reassessed to see if BP needs to reopen the cap and go back to piping some of the oil to ships on the surface.

MIAMI (AP) – Elderly Russian immigrants lined up to take kickbacks from the backroom of a Brooklyn clinic. Claims flooded in from Miami for HIV treatments that never occurred. One professional patient was named in nearly 4,000 false Medicare claims. Authorities said busts carried out this week in Miami, New York City, Detroit, Houston and Baton Rouge, La., were the largest Medicare fraud takedown in history – part of a massive overhaul in the way federal officials are preventing and prosecuting the crimes. In all, 94 people – including several doctors and nurses – were charged Friday in scams totaling $251 million. Federal authorities, while touting the operation, cautioned the cases represent only a fraction of the estimated $60 billion to $90 billion in Medicare fraud absorbed by taxpayers each year. For the first time, federal officials have the power to overhaul the system under Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which gives them authority to stop paying a provider they suspect is fraudulent. Critics have complained the current process did nothing more than rubber-stamp payments to fraudulent providers. “That world is coming to an end,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told The Associated Press after speaking at a health care fraud prevention summit in Miami. “We’ve got new ways to go after folks that we’ve never had before.” Officials said they chose Miami because it is ground zero for Medicare fraud, generating roughly $3 billion a year. Authorities indicted 33 suspects in the Miami area, accused of charging Medicare for about $140 million in various scams.

Sherwood and Caroline Wadsworth appear to have been in the elevator for several days before they were found Wednesday, according to the Glynn County coroner.

If it were reopened, Allen said, “There’s no doubt there would be some discharge into the environment.” Pressure readings after 24 hours were about 6,700 pounds per square inch and rising slowly, Allen said, below the 7,500 psi that would clearly show the well was not leaking.
He said pressure continued to rise between 2 and 10 psi per hour but added that a seismic probe of the surrounding sea floor found no sign of a leak in the ground, one of the major concerns because oil erupting into the surroundings would be harder to contain and could weaken the well.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) – When the elevator in their home got stuck between floors, Sherwood and Caroline Wadsworth found themselves trapped with no way to call for help as temperatures rose into the 90s. They finally died from heat exhaustion in the closet-sized lift. Autopsies on the elderly couple – he was 90, she was 89 – on Thursday pointed to a tragic end to lives they shared for more than 60 years. Police estimated they had been dead at least four days before a newspaper carrier called 911 out of concern that papers had piled up by their garage. Investigators were trying to determine what turned an elevator into a death trap inside the Wadsworths’ three-story home overlooking Georgia’s coastal marshes. Stunned family members, meanwhile, looked for a shred of solace. “We always said we hoped they would go together because if one went, the other wouldn’t survive long,” said the couple’s son, Wesley Wadsworth of Blue Bell, Pa.

Obamasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Maine weekend: biking and ocean views cycling for an hour on a secluded bike trail along a nearby lake. Their visit was scheduled to end Sunday morning; no public events were planned. The brief vacation quickly yielded plenty of photos of a president who knew heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a good week. Before leaving Washington, Obama went before TV cameras in the White House Rose Garden to bask in the latest news from the Gulf â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that for the first time in 12 weeks no oil was flowing from the ruptured underwater well. Obama, clearly relieved, called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;good newsâ&#x20AC;? but stressed that the cap in place was at best a temporary measure, pending the per-

That is expected to happen sometime next month. Still, the news was hugely welcome after weeks of rising public frustration that often forced Team Obama on the defensive.
It also came a day after the Senate sent him a package of new financial market rules that Obama insisted are crucial to the economic recovery and necessary to prevent a repeat of the severe financial collapse of 2008. But in Maine, for a
US analyst, wife sentenced for spying for Cuba WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 73-year-old great grandson of Alexander Graham Bell was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole for quietly spying for Cuba for nearly a third of a century from inside the State Department. His wife was sentenced to 51â &#x201E;2 years. Retired intelligence analyst Kendall Myers said he meant his country no harm and stole secrets only to help Cubaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people who â&#x20AC;&#x153;have good reason to feel threatenedâ&#x20AC;? by U.S. intentions of ousting the communist Castro government.
But U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said Myers and his 72-year-old wife, Gwendolyn, had betrayed America and should receive heavy punishment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never know what the effect will beâ&#x20AC;? from stealing classified information, said the judge. Someone â&#x20AC;&#x153;could be killed.â&#x20AC;? Justice Department prosecutor Michael Harvey said the couple received medals from Cuban intelligence and were flown to the island nation for a visit with Fidel Castro in 1995. They pleaded guilty last November.
US-born radical cleric added to terror blacklist

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Obama administration added a U.S.-born, al-Qaida-linked cleric to a terrorism blacklist Friday, targeting him with sanctions aimed at cutting off his financial support. The Treasury Department placed Anwar al-Awlaki â&#x20AC;&#x201C; accused by officials of helping plan the failed Christmas Day airline bombing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on its list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists. That means any bank accounts found in the United States belonging

Lindsay Lohan hires celebrity lawyer Shapiro a drug overdose in 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully I can be of assistance.â&#x20AC;? Lohan is scheduled to begin serving a 90-day sentence on Tuesday. Shapiro has represented numerous celebrity clients and has been working for substance abuse treatment since the death of his son. He established the Pickford Lofts sober living facility, a treatment center where Lohan is temporarily staying. In representing Lohan, Shapiro is replacing attorney Shawn Chapman Holley, another veteran of the Simpson trial in which the former football star was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman.
Aerosmithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perry hurt in cycle accident MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorities say Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry was rear-ended by a car when he was riding a motorcycle, and he has been treated for minor injuries at a Massachusetts hospital.
Middleborough police say Perry was on his 2009 Ducati Monster 696 early Thursday afternoon when he was struck from behind by a car driven by 62-year-old Linda Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien. Both vehicles were traveling at a low speed.
to him are frozen. Americans are forbidden from doing business with him. And, it bans him from traveling to the U.S. The move comes about six months after the U.S. government put al-Awlaki on a secret list of targets to be captured or killed, according to U.S. officials. Born in New Mexico, al-Awlaki, 39, is not perceived by American officials as a major tactical terror leader on par with al-Qaida founder Osama bin Laden. But his role as an inspirational ex-
horter for al-Qaidaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cause and his growing involvement in plots aimed at the U.S. has made him a prime target in the effort to counter the militant movement. The U.S. government has been monitoring alAwlaki for years. But the Treasury Department was able to slap the cleric with sanctions because officials established an operational link between him and an al-Qaida spinoff group in Yemen, according to a government official.
Federal panel upholds Wesley Snipesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tax sentence
FAMOUS, FABULOUS, FRIVOLOUS
LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Celebrity lawyer Robert Shapiro said Friday he had agreed to represent Lindsay Lohan, who is headed to jail next week for violating probation in a 2007 drug case. Shapiro, a key figure on O.J. Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal â&#x20AC;&#x153;dream teamâ&#x20AC;? in 1995, told The Associated Press he agreed to represent Lohan only if she does her jail time and complies with the terms of her probation. He also said he would help the actress get treatment to accomplish longterm recovery and sobriety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ms. Lohan is suffering from a disease that I am all too familiar with,â&#x20AC;? said Shapiro, whose son Brent died of

ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A federal appeals panel has upheld a three-year prison sentence on federal tax charges for film star Wesley Snipes. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta concluded Friday that the judge properly sentenced Snipes to three years in federal prison. Attorneys for the action movie star argued that the sentence was â&#x20AC;&#x153;unreasonableâ&#x20AC;? and that he should have been granted a hear-
ing to decide whetherhis trial should have been held in New York instead of Snipes Florida. A jury convicted Snipes in 2008 of three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file his income tax returns. Snipesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney did not immediately comment on the case.

ACADIA NATIONAL PARK, Maine (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cheered by a key victory in Congress and good news from the Gulf oil spill zone, a relaxed President Barack Obama began a weekend holiday Friday on a sun-dappled mountain peak overlooking the rocky Atlantic coast. Within hours of landing at the Bar Harbor airport in a smaller version of Air Force One, Obama, his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha were clambering over the granite outcrops at the summit of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. At 1,530 feet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the tallest peak along the East Coast, according to the National Park Service. The family also went

Cherry Brandy and Spotlight bring innovation to gardening
For some, home is where the earth is BY RACHAEL JACKSON MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
EARTH HOME ADVANTAGES
–
O
RLANDO, Fla. – Down a dirt road and between thickets of trees, Paul Queen lives inside a grassy, man-made hill. Deer try to stroll across his rooftop. Gopher tortoises attempt to tunnel into the walls. But inside, Queen can barely hear the rain – or deer hoofsteps. His home is earth-sheltered, meaning it’s not exactly underground but is surrounded and insulated by a massive mound of soil. National builders of the obscure style, which first grew out of hillsides and rural grasslands during the energy crisis decades ago, say that amid concerns about power bills and natural disasters, more people are burrowing into the earth. Although Queen estimates the building style reduces his cooling bills by 40 percent and says he will probably never have to evacuate for a hurricane, the housing concept remains rare in Florida. “Until you’re really in one, you really don’t realize how wonderful they are,” Queen, who works in marketing, said of his Oviedo, Fla.-area home. “The way it’s laid out, it has as much light as any house.”
• Building style reduces cooling bills by an estimated 40 percent • Occupants probably never will have to evacuate for a hurricane or other natural disasters • Home prices are on par with traditional homes, though mortgages often are paid off faster because of reduced heating and cooling bills. Most municipalities contacted in Central Florida couldn’t name any earth-sheltered homes in their areas, but besides Queen’s, they include a home under construction in DeLeon Springs and a St. Cloud home built in 1986. Stephanie Thomas-Rees, a research architect with the Florida Solar Energy Center, said the state’s sandy soil and high water table make managing moisture difficult in an earth-sheltered home. Others suggest that without hills, which provide a natural construction site, it’s harder to find good locations for such homes here. But for auto electrician Travis Campbell, the earth-sheltered style was the solution to another problem – frequent worries about evacuating his mobile home. “Every storm or tornado or fire that came along, we were scared
for where we were going to live,” he said. He started building several years ago and hopes to finish the home on his small DeLeon Springs farm by Christmas. He is so involved in the process that he’s offering consulting services to others interested in living under the earth and plans to open it up for tours when finished. Dale Pearcey, president of Formworks Building Inc. in Colorado, designed Campbell’s 4,000-squarefoot home and said prices are on par with traditional homes, though mortgages often are paid off faster because of reduced heating and cooling bills. “If some contractor came up with a bunch of model homes and put them all in one place where the general public would just walk through them, it would change a lot of people’s minds in a hurry,” he said. Earth-sheltered homes, he said, have an image problem. “Most people think it’s going to look like a dungeon,” said Alice McCorkle, who said her St. Cloud home gets plenty of light through windows on one side. Her husband built the home on the highest point of the property, and its dirtfilled walls regulate temperatures so well that family members come over when power goes out during cold snaps.

ou no doubt heard of the trend with orange and yellow echinacea but did you know there was innovation in rudbeckia with the stunning Cherry Brandy. To be perfectly honest no plant commands attention in the summer garden quite like the rudbeckia or gloriosa daisy, also called Black-eyed Susan. The past few weeks I have been going to trials and the consumer always places a good quantity of orange flags signaling they like the plant. It wasn’t long ago that I told you about the Denver Daisy and again this year it is capturing the admiration of gardeners who partake in voting at trials. But there are some others that caught my eye like the Cherry Brandy. I saw several of these at Park Seed. It not only hooked me, but has captured the imagination of Europe as well
in that it was honored with a Flueroselect Novelty award. Cherry Brandy is known botanically as Rudbeckia hirta and like the others is a magnet for bees and butterflies. It is a little smaller than some reaching 24-inches tall and as wide. The 3-inch wide flowers are a combination of red and maroon. Though it is not an exclusive of Park Seed they have been innovative combining it with the traditional yellow gold for a mix called Ruby Gold. Here you’ve got a great combination ready made. Rudbeckias have typically been fairly tall in the garden. The most popular compact, or dwarf selection was Toto. Well move over Toto for Spotlight. Spotlight is a lot different than Toto in that it sports large 3-inch gold and dark burgundy blooms on a plant that is about a foot tall. This gives gardeners everywhere the opportunity to use them at the front of the border or in large informal drifts adjacent to blue flowers.

There’s a right and wrong way to invest I
f you can hear the whispers below the din of panic, you know that the financial and housing collapses have actually created some amazing opportunities for smart investors. Low interest rates and depressed property values have combined in an environment favorable for long-term gains. Property investment may not be for everyone, but if you’re in the right financial position, you have plenty of options. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to invest, and it’s the wrong way that led so many to suffer in the recent housing crisis. A few points to consider are: • Don’t think about investing in real estate until you’ve
saved up for your nest egg and have held or reduced your expenses to keep it growing. Your money doesn’t work for REAL ESTATE you unless it’s your money. Ken • Similarly, Wall don’t begin your ■■■ investment adventure until you’ve polished up your credit score. The best opportunities go to those with upfront case and excellent credit. Maximize your borrowed capital by making sure you get the lowest interest rates and best terms.
Mortgage applications rise as rates fall WASHINGTON (AP) – Applications for home loans rose last week as consumers raced to refinance at the lowest rates in decades. The Mortgage Bankers Associations said Wednesday that overall applications increased nearly 7 percent from a week earlier. While they have been increasing in recent weeks, they remain below early 2009 levels. Applications to refinance home loans were up 9 percent to the highest level since May 2009. But new mortgages taken out to purchase homes fell 2 percent.
Those applications have fallen in eight out of the last nine weeks, after government tax credits that spurred home sales ended on April 30. Applications were 35 percent below last year’s levels. The average rate for a 30-year fixed loan sank to 4.57 percent last week, according to Freddie Mac. That was the lowest since the mortgage company began keeping records in 1971. Mortgage rates have fallen since mid-April. Investors, nervous about Europe’s debt crisis and the global economy, have shifted money into safe Treasury bonds.
• It then follows that you should not over-borrow. Real estate markets are continually cycling up and

Mortgage applications fall: Applications for home loans dipped nearly 3 percent last week even though consumers were able to refinance at the lowest rates in decades, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Refinancing, purchases both dip: Applications to refinance home loans were down 2.9 percent. Applications taken out to purchase homes fell 3.1 percent. Most loans for refinancing: Applications to refinance loans made up nearly 79 percent of total applications.
a down period in the cycle. Contact a local Realtor for more advice on whether investment is right for you and how to get started in that direction, should you choose this as your market. If you’re smart about it, you won’t get rich quick, but you will get rich right! Ken Wall is president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, one of more than 1,800 local boards and associations nationwide that comprise the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The Association is an advocate for property rights and the “Voice of Real Estate” in the Triad. HPRAR represents more than 700 members in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industry.
Number of home foreclosures on track to hit 1million LOS ANGELES (AP) – More than 1 million American households are likely to lose their homes to foreclosure this year, as lenders work their way through a huge backlog of borrowers who have fallen behind on their loans. Nearly 528,000 homes were taken over by lenders in the first six months of the year, a rate that is on track to eclipse the more than 900,000 homes repossessed in 2009, according to data released Thursday by RealtyTrac Inc. “That would be unprec-
edented,” said Rick Sharga, a senior vice president at RealtyTrac. By comparison, lenders have historically taken over about 100,000 homes a year, Sharga said. The surge in home repossessions reflects the dynamic of a foreclosure crisis that has shown signs of leveling off in recent months, but remains a crippling drag on the housing market. In all, about 1.7 million homeowners received a foreclosure-related warning between January and June. That translates to one in 78 U.S. homes.

Tips on finding a friendly, close-knit community M
any people believe that buying a home in a high-income neighborhood will automatically ensure that they live in a warm, welcoming place. But Peter Lovenheim, an author who has written extensively about finding community in contemporary America, says sociological studies show no link between a neighborhood’s economic level and the friendliness of its residents. “It’s counterintuitive but true that there’s no income correlation with friendliness,” says Lovenheim, author of “In the Neighborhood,” which chronicles his quest to make connections in the suburban neighborhood where he’s long resided. By the same token, Lovenheim says there’s no correlation between the type of habitat and the degree of social connection among its residents. “Community can be found on the 20th floor of a high rise or on a suburban street,” he says. Lovenheim contends that it’s now harder than in past eras for homebuyers to find friendly, close-knit neighborhoods. One major reason is that people are busier than before, given that many families have two wage earners. “In most neighborhoods, there are fewer adults at home during the day. Also, people now spend more time on the Internet and watching TV,” he says. Moreover, Lovenheim believes Amer-
icans now sense more “stranger danger” than in previous decades, though he questions whether there’s truly more risk in most residential communities than in the past. Though some people SMART MOVES prefer to live fairly anonymously – with little Ellen or no neighbor contact Martin – most find life more ■■■ pleasant in a community where they know others and interact on good terms. “Neighborhoods are meant to be a fundamental building block of society. There’s a basic need to feel a common humanity with the people who live closest to us,” Lovenheim says. Here are pointers for homebuyers who want to live in a friendly community: • Seek a neighborhood with a strong set of public schools. A school is important for more than the educational opportunities it gives students. A strong school can help draw people together, tightening the bonds among residents of all ages, says Mark Nash, a real estate broker and author of “1001 Tips for Buying and Selling a Home.” How does a strong neighborhood school help bind residents together? “Strong schools are the epicenters of a strong community. Children of all ages bring people together,” says Nash,
who encourages prospective residents – including those with no school-age children – to visit a neighborhood’s schools before deciding to buy a home there. • Question whether you want to live in an “age-restricted” development. Many people over 50 are drawn to agelimited communities, where they hope to find the sort of social activities that will fill their days once they’re retired. Yet Nash says some older people who choose such a community face an unexpected result: boredom. “A neighborhood where everyone is in the same age group is too homogenous. Without diversity in age, people have to go outside the community for stimulation,” Nash says. • Visit the neighborhood at several times of the day. Nash suggests that those with a strong interest in a community visit the area at varied hours to look for patterns of activity. Also consider visiting on a weekday as well as the weekend. “Drive through the neighborhood at least four times in a single day – once in the morning, once at mid-afternoon, once at dinnertime and then again at 11 p.m. Observe whether people are interacting or staying inside their homes nearly all the time,” he says. To learn more about the underlying social dynamics of a community, Nash also says would-be homebuyers shouldn’t hesitate to go door-to-door
and strike up conversations with residents, or talk to local shopkeepers. • Realize that residents of a newly built subdivision can be very approachable. Are you interested in moving to a subdivision that’s still under development but fear it could be an unfriendly place to raise your family? If so, Nash suggests you learn more about the community before rejecting it based on what could be an unfounded belief. Granted, brand-new communities are often populated by younger two-income families with demanding daily schedules. Still, many who move to these new areas are highly motivated to build lasting friendships with neighbors who also have kids. “In a new community, everyone is looking to bond. They’re all starting out from the same point,” says Nash, noting that there’s no established friendship structure or social hierarchy into which new arrivals must break in. • Don’t forget that friendship is always a two-way street. Those with a support structure near their home have many advantages. Not only can you borrow a couple eggs to finish that batch of brownies you’re baking, but you could also find neighbors who will watch your house while you’re traveling. Most important, you’re likely to find help in an emergency situation. TO CONTACT Ellen James Martin, e-mail her at ellenjamesmartin gmail.com.
Bailout watchdog to audit housing program WASHINGTON (AP) – The special inspector general for the financial bailout will examine how 10 states were selected for an Obama administration plan to provide $2.1 billion in assistance to areas hit by the housing bust. Bailout watchdog Neil Barofsky is undertaking the audit in response to a request by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., according to a letter released earlier this week by Issa’s office.
The Treasury Department has been running the government’s “Hardest-Hit” fund, which is stocked with financial rescue money. Barofsky also plans to examine whether state-designed programs that are receiving assistance differ from existing government efforts, the letter indicates. He also plans to examine whether the Treasury has established ways to prevent
waste and fraud and whether the government has established goals and measurements for the state-designed programs. A Treasury spokesman did not immediately comment. President Barack Obama unveiled the state assistance effort in February. Since then, state agencies have designed their own approaches. They vary by state, but many provide aid to unemployed
homeowners, or “under water” borrowers who owe more on their properties than their homes are worth. Last month, the Treasury Department approved plans for half of the states getting funding through the program – Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada. The states, which were picked because they experienced at least a 20 percent decline in home prices, estimate
that their plans will help up to 93,000 homeowners. Besides these states, the Obama administration is providing an additional $600 million in financial support to help homeowners in states with high rates of unemployment. Those states – Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oregon and Rhode Island – have submitted plans to the Treasury Department. They are still being reviewed.
