Gambling gets plenty of attention ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

Illegal gambling has a checkered, colorful – and too often, deadly – heritage in the greater High Point area.

One of the articles in Hometowns, which will be distributed with The High Point Enterprise on Thursday, reviews and summarizes law enforcement crackdowns on illegal gamblers in the 1980s.

Trinity denied park funding

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – The city of Trinity will not get funding this year through the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund for its downtown park proposal.

John Poole, grants program manager with the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation, said the N.C. Parks and Recreation Authority decided last week that Trinity will not be a recipient of a $500,000 grant, which officials wanted to use for

‘We will reapply.

Any time we miss out on a grant, it’s not a good thing for us ...’

Kelly Grooms Trinty city councilman the proposed Center City Park. Of the 85 applications from local governments, the authority funded 24 park projects in May and 14 this month.

“They ended up funding 38 of the 85 for about $9.2 million,” Poole said. “The requests totaled $24.4 million. ... All of them were worthy projects. It’s just not enough funds to spread them across.”

Last year, the Trinity City Council directed staff to prepare an application for the grant. The application included a parks and recreation master plan, a parks and recreation capital improvement plan, a Center City site park plan and project budget for the plan.

The park was proposed to be located on the site of Trinity City Hall’s property, which is nestled on about 30 acres off N.C. 62.

Weekend temperatures expected to climb to near

BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Basking in the sunshine might not be an activity residents pencil in on their schedules for the weekend, unless of course they enjoy soaking in pools of their own sweat.

High Point-area residents will face another batch of temperatures that could reach the 100degree mark this weekend. From Friday through Sunday, temperatures are predicted to be about 98 to 99 degrees, with the possibility of hitting the triple digits, according to the National Weather Service. Along with the heat, the usual North Carolina humidity will play into the mix.

Regardless of whether temper-

100º

atures actually hit the 100 mark, the humidity will bridge the gap, sending heat index temperatures soaring to around 105 degrees.

“This weekend is going to be hot,” said Russell Henes, forecaster for the National Weather Service in Raleigh. “Hot with very little chance of rain.”

While temperatures will remind residents of the heat that hit a couple of weeks ago, the air quality is supposed to be much more tolerable, remaining in the yellow zone, Henes said, which means those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution may experience effects. But for the general population, air quality will be acceptable.

The previous 100-degree scare had air quality in the more dan-

gerous code orange, which puts pollutants at a higher number where the level is unhealthy for sensitive groups.

On Monday and Tuesday, a 30 percent chance of rain is in store for the area, forecasters say, and the possible showers will also bring slightly cooler temperatures, averaging in the low 90s.

“Temperatures are slightly above normal for this time of year,” Henes said. “Typically, temperatures hover around 90.”

A return to normalcy is not yet in sight, leaving a majority of residents keeping their fingers crossed in hopes of some cool relief.

Boat races return to Oak Hollow

Mostly sunny High 97, Low 75 6D

BY JORDAN HOWSE ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

INDEX HIGH POINT – The sound of thunder will be heard at Oak Hollow Lake this weekend, but it won’t have anything to do with the weather.

The Lucas Oil Thunder at Oak Hollow Drag Boat Races are back at Festival Park this year, and organizers say it’ll be bigger and better. This year, 100 boats are registered for the event, and organizers expect more than last year’s $1.2 million will tourism revenue.

The activities start today with test runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Teams will test and tune their boats on the water. The teams begin qualifying for all classes Saturday, running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

They round out the weekend with eliminations and the finals for all classes Sunday, running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Drag boat racing is very similar to land drag racing, with boats race on a quarter-mile straightaway.

Diploma rate highest in four years ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

100 percent graduation rate. The Academy at Smith, Greensboro College Middle College, The Early College at Guilford, Penn-Griffin School for the Arts and Weaver Academy, all magnet and choice schools, led the district with a 100 percent graduation rate.

There were 15 students in the Penn-Griffin’s first graduating class.

In North Carolina, the graduation rate is calculated as the number of students who graduated with a diploma at the end of the school year divided by the number of students in the ninth grade four years earlier with adjustments for transfers.

The academies and middle colleges allow students to focus on possible career fields, honors courses or arts.

Penn-Griffin School for the Arts in High Point is a performing and visual arts school serving students in grades six through 12. In addition to traditional core courses, the school offers classes in orchestra, band, chorus, classical guitar, piano, dance, theatre and visual arts. Students explore all of the arts in middle school and in high school.

GUILFORD COUNTY – The graduating class of 2010 helped raise the school district’s graduation rate to the highest point in four years.

With 12 high schools graduating 90 percent of their students, the district scored a graduation rate of 80.7 percent, up

Five schools had perfect graduation totals. from 79.9 percent, district officials reported this week.

The rate is the highest since the N.C. Department of Public Instruction created the measure in 2006.

Only two high school programs reported lower than an 80 percent graduation rate: T. Wingate Andrews High had a 77 percent rate and The Academy at High Point Central posted a 60 percent rate.

Five schools had perfect graduation totals.

Board rejects site for Southeast area school

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Commissioners sided with neighborhood residents Thursday and turned down a 45-acre site the Board of Education wants to buy for a new Southeast area school.

The Board of Commissioners voted 5-3 against the $907,000 site on Stewart Mill

‘This was a deal done with the devil in a closed session.’

Billy Yow Commissioner Road in eastern Guilford County due east of Greensboro and closer to McLeansville than the Southeast High School neighborhood where many parents want a new elementary school.

“These folks deserve what they were told

REJECTED DEAL

Locations: As many as 65 locations were considered for the new Southeast area school including sites on Nelson Road, Liberty Road and Southeast School Road.

Values: The 45-acre site on Stewart Mill Road was listed at $1.5 million. The Board of Education has a school property budget of $1.2 million and negotiated a price of $907,000. they would get,” said Republican Commissioner Billy Yow. “This was a deal done with the devil in a closed session.”

Yow joined the three other Republicans on the board in voting against the project site.

The $25 million Southeast Area school is one of five new schools being built as part of the $457 million in school bonds approved by voters in May 2008.

“A better site can be found closer to where the students are, as promised to people in the district, “ said Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point.

Only Democratic Commissioners Carolyn Coleman, Kirk Perkins and Chairman Skip Alston voted for the site.

Democratic Commissioners Bruce Davis and John Parks of High Point and Paul Gibson did not attend the session.

The school board voted 7-2 last month to buy the property, a proposed housing development tract that offers city water and sewer service.

“This is a good price and a good location,” said school board member Kris Cooke. “We feel it is the best place for the school.”

“This site is suit-

able for a school,” said Superintendent Mo Green.

“We want to get this right and we believe we have.”

Southeast Guilford Community Association members lobbied commissioners to reject the site and nearly filled the meeting room with supporters to influence the vote.

The proposed site is less than 10 miles from crowded Alamance Elementary School where an expansion to serve 700 students will cost $20 million.

School officials say the new school would take 300 to 350 students from the Alamance attendance zone, but opponents say they fear the number of Alamance transfers will drop as the Stewart Mill Road neighborhood grows.

“It is unthinkable to move the school out of the area it was designed to benefit,” said Dan Rogers, an association leader. dnivens@hpe.com|888-3626

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) – Police say 12 cows being driven to the slaughterhouse made a break for freedom when the truck that was transporting them overturned in west Michigan.

Police say the bovine escapees hoofed it over highway guardrails,

forced traffic detours and caused at least one accident.

The 42-year-old truck driver suffered minor injuries in the accident in Kent County about 4 a.m. Wednesday.

All but five of the fugitive cattle had been rounded up by Thursday morning.

The animals from a farm in Farwell, Mich., had been destined to end their days at a slaughterhouse in Milwaukee, Wis. Michigan State Police Trooper Joe Young said when all the animals are captured they will be euthanized.

Grooms expressed disappointment about Trinity not being a recipient of the grant. It was Trinity’s first application for the grant.

“We will reapply,” Grooms said. “Any time we miss out on a grant, it’s not a good thing for us. It kind of slows down our progress and some of our plans, but we will still get to where we want to go.”

Grooms said a park would help the city with economic development.

Trinity had $450,000 in its 2010-11 fiscal year budget for the park. The project is proposed to cost about $1 million.

Also Thursday, the Palestinian leader said direct negotiations with Israel are “inevitable,� but he listed a series of conditions.

The military said troops were lying in ambush early Thursday outside the Barkan settlement in the central West Bank when they spotted three men breaking into the settlement. It said one of the men was suspected of being armed, but Palestinians said the man was not carrying a weapon.

Clash with Mexican soldiers leaves 8 dead MEXICO CITY – Eight suspected drug gang gunmen died in a battle with Mexican soldiers in the remote mountains of northern Chihuahua state, the federal Public Safety Department said Thursday.

The department cited an internal army report saying the clash occurred near the rural town of Madera, about 145 miles south of the U.S. border.

City should hold elections in odd-numbered years Should city elections be held on even-numbered years?

Absolutely not and here’s why! Issues vital to High Point’s progress are overshadowed by national and state issues due to election for U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, N.C. Senate and N.C. House.

Campaign funds are more difficult to obtain for city elections when citizens are called upon to contribute to national and state office seekers.

Local elections should not have to compete with national and state elections.

ith all the talk this week about Shirley Sherrod, the former USDA official who was unjustly fired, and President Obama’s apology to her Thursday, a story that hits at the heart of our protection from abuses of political power and our right to keep watch on our government may have gotten lost in the news.

The Associated Press reported this week that for at least a year under the Obama administration, requests for federal records filed under the Freedom of Information Act have been routed through political appointees in the Department of Homeland Security in order to determine whether requests are for politically sensitive information and in order to obtain information about the requesting person or organization.

According to the AP investigation, career employees in the DHS were instructed to provide the political appointees with information such as where the requesters lived, whether they were private citizens or reporters and information about any organization for which the requesters worked. Requests from members of Congress were to be labeled with the requester’s political party.

This political review resulted in delays in releasing information, although the DHS says reviews did not stop any information from being released, the AP said.

The release of information, however, did have to be approved by the political appointees. We wouldn’t call this the “open government” Obama has promised.

Realize that this was not an assessment for national security. Requests related to Obama policy, “controversial or sensitive” subjects or meetings involving business and elected leaders were pegged for review by the political appointees. It reminds us a little of Richard Nixon’s enemies lists, except in this case everyone is the potential victim of an oversensitive, highly political administration.

The AP says the DHS has rescinded the rule on prior political approval of information before release. But the political appointees still are checking up on those who request information. And that’s scary.

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

and every neighborhood, as much as logistically possible.

Downtown revitalization, I believe, is key to High Point tapping into a new source of pride, economic gain and yes, hope.

Without hope, people will perish.

It has been a blessing to watch Party on the Plank gain support from so many groups within this great city. As for the Arts Council, I encourage it to keep being the creative stimulus this great city needs. After all, hope floats.

redit card fraud is a serious problem. But race card fraud is an even bigger problem.

Playing the race card takes many forms.

Judge Charles Pickering, a federal judge in Mississippi who defended the civil rights of blacks for years and defied the Ku Klux Klan back when that was dangerous, was depicted as a racist when he was nominated for a federal appellate judgeship.

No one even mistakenly thought he was a racist. The point was simply to discredit him for political reasons – and it worked.

This year’s target is the Tea Party. When leading Democrats, led by a smirking Nancy Pelosi, made their triumphant walk on Capitol Hill, celebrating their passage of a bill in defiance of public opinion, Tea Party members on the scene protested.

All this was captured on camera and the scene was played on television. What was not captured on any of the cameras and other recording devices on the scene was anybody using racist language, as has been charged by those playing the race card.

When you realize how many media people were there, and how many ordinary citizens carry around recording devices of one sort or another, it is remarkable – indeed, unbelievable – that racist remarks were made and yet were not captured by anybody.

The latest attack on the Tea Party movement, by Ben Jealous of the NAACP, has once again played the race card. Like the proverbial lawyer who knows his case is weak, he shouts louder. This is not the first time that an organization with an honorable and historic mission has eventually degenerated into a tawdry racket. But that an organization like the NAACP, after years of fighting against genuine racism, should now be playing the game of race card fraud is especially painful to see.

Some critics of the Tea Party have seized upon banners carried at one of its rallies that compared Obama with Hitler and Stalin. Extreme? Yes. But there was nothing racist about it, since extreme comparisons have been made about politicians of every race, color, creed, nationality, ideology and sexual preference.

Some Obama supporters have long regarded any criticism of him as racism. But that they resort to such a banner to bolster their case shows how desperate they are for any evidence.

Among people who voted for Barack Obama in 2008, those who are likely to be most disappointed are those who thought that they were voting for a new post-racial era. There was absolutely nothing in Obama’s past to lead to any such expectation, and much to suggest the exact opposite. But the man’s rhetoric and demeanor during the election campaign enabled this and many other illusions to flourish.

Still, it was an honest mistake of the kind that decent people have often made when dealing with people whose agendas are not constrained by decency, but only by what they think they can get away with.

On race, as on other issues, different people have radically different views of Barack Obama, depending on whether they judge him

by what he says or by what he does.

As Obama’s own books point out, he has for years cultivated a talent for saying things that people will find congenial.

You want bipartisanship and an end to bickering in WashingOPINION ton? He will say that he wants bipartisanship and an end to Thomas bickering in Washington. Then Sowell he will shut Republicans out of ■■■ the decision-making process and respond to their suggestions by reminding them that he won the election.

You want a government that is open instead of secretive? He will say that. He will promise to post proposed legislation on the Internet for everyone to read it and know what is in it before there is a vote. In practice, however, he has rushed massive bills through Congress too fast for anybody – even the members of Congress – to know what was in those bills.

Racial issues are more of the same. You want a government where all citizens are treated alike, regardless of race or ethnicity? Obama will say that. Then he will advocate appointing judges with “empathy” for particular segments of the population, such as racial minorities.

“Empathy” is just a pretty word for the ugly reality of bias. Obama’s first nomination of a Supreme Court justice was a classic example of someone with “empathy” for some racial groups, but not others. As a Circuit Court judge, Sonia Sotomayor voted to dismiss a case involving white firefighters who had been denied the promotions for which they qualified, because not enough blacks or Hispanics passed the same test that they did.

A fellow Hispanic judge protested the way the white firefighters’ case was dismissed, rather than adjudicated. Moreover, the Supreme Court not only took the case, it ruled in favor of the firefighters.

Obama’s injecting himself into a local police matter in Massachusetts, despite admitting that he didn’t know the facts, to say that a white policeman was in the wrong in arresting a black professor who was a friend of Obama, was more of the same. So is Obama’s Justice Department overlooking blatant voter intimidation by thugs who happen to be black.

There is not now, nor has there ever been, anything post-racial about Barack Obama, except for the people who voted for him in the mistaken belief that he shared their desire to be post-racial. When he leaves office, especially if it is after one term, he will leave this country more racially polarized than before.

Hopefully, he may also leave the voters wiser, though sadder, after they learn from painful experience that you can’t judge politicians by their rhetoric, or ignore their past because of your hopes for the future. Voters may even wise up to race card fraud.

BP’s oil well to stay shut despite tropical storm ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) – Engineers have grown so confident in the leaky cap trapping oil inside BP’s crippled well that they will leave it closed and unwatched if a tropical storm that formed Thursday forces them to flee, the government’s spill chief said.

Barring another setback – and the three-month operation has been filled with them – crude should never again gush from the infamous well.

Tropical Storm Bonnie, which blossomed over the Bahamas and was to enter the Gulf of Mexico by the weekend, could delay by another 12 days the push to plug the broken well for good using mud and cement, retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen and BP officials conceded.

Even if it’s not a direct hit, the rough

WASHINGTON (AP) – Flooded with apologies from everywhere, Shirley Sherrod got the biggest “I’m sorry� of all Thursday – from a contrite President Barack Obama, who personally appealed to the ousted worker to come back.

Sherrod, who was forced to resign on Monday because of racial comments she made at an NAACP gathering, was asked by Obama to rejoin the federal government and transform “this misfortune� into a chance to use her life experiences to help people, said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs.

The president says Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack “jumped the gun� when he decided to dismiss her from her job at the department amid accusations of racism.

Obama tells ABC News in an interview that Vilsack acted in part because the current media climate requires everyone to scramble when something goes up on YouTube or a blog.

Vilsack acted after portions of a speech Sherrod had given were posted on a conservative website.

Checks are coming: Obama signs unemployment bill WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal checks could begin flowing again as early as next week to millions of jobless people who lost up to seven weeks of unemployment benefits in a congressional standoff.

President Barack Obama on Thursday signed into law a restoration of benefits for people who have been out of work for six months or more. Congress approved the measure earlier in the day. The move ended an interruption that cut

off payments averaging about $300 a week to 212⠄ million people who have been unable to find work in the aftermath of the nation’s long and deep recession.

At stake are up to 73 weeks of federally financed benefits for people who have exhausted their 26 weeks of state jobless benefits. About half of the approximately 5 million people in the program have had their benefits cut off since its authorization expired June 2.

weather will push back efforts to kill the well by at least a week. “While this is not a hurricane, it’s a storm that will have probably some significant impacts, we’re taking appropriate cautions,� Allen said in Mobile, Ala. But a week of steady measurements through cameras and other devices convinced Allen they don’t need to open vents to relieve pressure on the cap, which engineers had worried might contribute to leaks underground and an even bigger blowout.

The cap was attached a week ago, and only minor leaks have been detected.

Meanwhile, the government is allowing commercial and recreational fishing again in roughly one third of the waters it had closed because of the BP oil spill.

City officials stand guard on Main Street zoning

WHO’S NEWS

----

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – City Council members have given their blessing to a north High Point business but indicated this type of operation is not what they would like to see on the city’s main drag in the future.

The council approved a request to rezone about 1.10 acres at the southeast corner of N. Main Street and E. Bellevue Drive from conditional use/limited business district to highway business.

The property owner, High Point Bank, needed the change because it leased the site to a business without proper approval, according to the city.

The business sells and displays portable storage buildings, and there are about 10 or 15 such units on the property, planners said.

Attorney Beth Koonce, representing High Point Bank, told the council during a recent hearing that her client initially planned to open a branch on the site. When that fell through, the bank tried unsuccessfully to sell the land before leasing it.

The surrounding area is zoned highway business, and city leaders questioned wheth-

‘We don’t want it to look like High Point Road.’

Becky Smothers High Point mayor er this was the right classification for Main Street.

“We don’t want it to look like High Point Road,” said Mayor Becky Smothers, referring to a major thoroughfare in Greensboro that has deteriorated in recent years. “Highway business to me is not what Main Street is. Highway business is Business 85.”

The rezoning will require the business to move its storage units farther off the road.

Council members discussed whether other measures to regulate the look of Main Street would be feasible.

“There are some horrendous-looking businesses from north to south on Main Street, so we need to be aware of what we can do address this,” said Councilman Mike Pugh.

The council also approved a contract with Sunbelt Roofing Inc. for $130,000 to replace the roof at the High Point Police Department and a contract with Affordable Roofing Inc. for $222,548 to replace the roof of the Green Street Municipal Operations Center.

The money is from a federal stimulus energy efficiency and conservation grant the city received.

Contractors will install a type of highly reflective, energy efficient roofing system at both facilities.

City officials said the police department’s roof had been patched numerous times and still leaks and needs to be replaced. pkimbrough@hpe.com 888-3531

Fill the Bus drive begins

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Two nonprofit organizations in the Triad are trying to ensure every child has the school supplies they need for the first day of school.

As part of Fill the Bus school supply drives, Communities In Schools of Randolph County and Fairgrove Family Resource Center in Thomasville are collecting school supplies in various areas in their respective communities. CIS of Randolph County’s drive run until Aug. 15, and Fairgrove Family Resource Center’s campaign will run through the month of August.

The economy, according to organizers of Fill the Bus school supply drive, is expected to cause more students to need school supplies this year.

“Parents who are not working full-time or working at all, you are not going to have that extra money

Drop-off sites. 3B to help those kids,” said Gwen Taylor, CIS of Randolph County assistant director.

“There is a tremendous need based on the economy,” said Terri Nelson, executive director of the Fairgrove Family Resource Center.

Both organizations hope to help hundreds of youngsters with school supplies.

“We were able to assist about 250 kids,” Taylor said of last year’s Fill the Bus campaign. “Sometimes it’s hard to say because we will help a certain number of kids individually and then the supply we have left over, we will give to the schools and let them use it as needed.”

Among some of the items being requested by the nonprofits as donations are book bags (no wheels), three-ring binders, No. 2

pencils, erasers and crayons. Nelson and Taylor said book bags are always needed for Fill the Bus school supply drives.

“We need 200 (book bags),” Nelson said. “We need all sizes. You would need a size for an elementary kid, but you also need something that a high school student would need.”

Rosa Allred is the Fill the Bus coordinator for CIS of Randolph County at Archdale United Methodist Church.

“We are just getting started,” Allred said. “If it goes like it has in the past, it will be great. All of our church members love helping out the school. We participate with Communities In Schools and for the supply drive because particularly at this time there are so many people in need and we want to support our local Randolph County schools.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Market organizers prepare for fall trade show

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Preparations for the fall High Point Market taking place in three months come down to variables that trade show organizers can’t and can control.

The factors that market organizers can’t control include the direction of the still fluid U.S. economy. After showing signs of improving noticeably during the first quarter of this year, economic indicators have either moderated or slumped during the late spring and this summer.

How the economy performs during the next three months leading into the fall trade show remains uncertain.

The factors that market or-

ganizers can control include promoting the Oct. 16-21 event to people in the industry and making the market as open and friendly for furnishings retail

‘We are trying to stay ahead and organized in the things we do.’

Brian Casey Market Authority President buyers and exhibitors.

The board of directors of the High Point Market Authority discussed the status of preparations for the fall trade show

during its meeting Thursday at the High Point Chamber of Commerce.

Market Authority President Brian Casey said that market organizers are trying to make trade show registration easier and more efficient. Also, the authority is working with a travel agent to secure discounts through airlines for flights during the market period, he said.

Through the authority’s website, www.highpointmarket.org, market organizers are providing more information and links for visitors, Casey said.

“We are trying to stay ahead and organized in the things we do,” he told the board.

Another step that market organizers have taken to bolster the trade show is building up

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Pre-Market, which takes place in September about a month before market, said board Chairman Kevin O’Connor. Pre-Market draws some of the larger exhibitors and their key clients to High Point for consultations leading into the introduction of product at the trade show.

Pre-Market had been an informal gathering for decades, but in the past several years market organizers have taken steps to formalize the event and secure more commitments from companies. Market organizers continue to receive positive feedback and commitments to Pre-Market, said O’Connor, president and chief executive officer of the furniture company Samson Marketing. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Ex-trooper working now for state lottery RALEIGH (AP) – A former North Carolina trooper fired last year for having what authorities called a drunken sexual encounter with the wife of a subordinate is back working for the state.

Multiple media outlets reported Thursday that former Sgt. Timothy White was hired several months ago as a security investigator for the North Carolina Education Lottery. He’s one of six workers who look into complaints such as whether a retailer operated a game unfairly.

White appealed his termination for personal conduct unbecoming of an officer.

Personnel and other state records now list him as having resigned, and his appeal was withdrawn.

A state report said White had a sexual encounter with another trooper’s wife at a party in December 2008, but White disputed the account.

Central NC ABC board manager placed on paid leave GREENSBORO (AP) – The general manager of a central North Carolina ABC board is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of a probe by state investigators.

The Greensboro ABC Board placed General Manager Katie Alley on leave until Aug. 31. Law-

yer Mike Fox, who works for the board, says Alley asked for the leave. A report released by the state ABC Commission last week suggested Alley may have inappropriately taken concert tickets, meals, hotel rooms and other items from liquor industry representatives.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville Police Department announced this week that it has charged two men with numerous break-ins of motor vehicles in Thomasville.

break-ins, about $2000 worth has been recovered, according to police.

The break-ins occurred in the Fair Grove and East Davidson communities in the southern end of Thomasville during the last month.

Detectives with the Thomasville Police Department received in-

counts of larceny, and one count of felony conspiracy.

Each man received a $50,000 secured bond and they were placed into the custody of the Davidson County Jail. Their court dates have been set for Aug. 19 in Thomasville.

Police said additional charges are pending against Robinette and Nagel and other suspects are being sought as the investigation continues. Police are asking anyone with information about these crimes to call Detective Steve Currie at 475-4267 or Detective Lt. Kimberly Sebastian at 475-4284.

NC lottery winnings paying off for debt collectors RALEIGH (AP) – People and governments who have tried to collect money they’re owed are also benefitting from state lottery winnings.

North Carolina lottery officials collected $1 million in the past year from prize winners who were also debtors, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday. The milestone comes after a record $1.4 billion in lottery sales, a 10 percent increase from the previous year.

The lottery compares the names of big winners against a list of people who owe child support, back taxes, hospital bills and student loans. The debts can be as small as $50 or run into thousands of dollars.

Tapping lottery win-

formation from a deputy with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office about a vehicle stolen from Davidson County. Information from that case led Thomasville detectives to a residence on Harvest Drive in Thomasville where some of the stolen property was recovered.

Tyler Adam Robinette, 18, of 1109 Harvest Drive, Thomasville, and Justice Jade Nagel, 16, of 185 Gobel Road, Thomasville, have each been charged with eight counts of felony breaking and entering of a motor vehicle, eight

nings is often preferable to government officials than garnishing paychecks because the money isn’t coming out of wages or a tax refund, said John E. Whitehurst, a project manager for the Association of County Commissioners.

The group helped set up a database of debtors and does the collections for local governments.

Taxpayer information is confidential, and officials declined to name those who have had winnings withheld.

Some prize winners say they’re happy to finally be able to pay their debts, said lottery Executive Director Tom Shaheen. “Many of them are relieved,� he said. “Hopefully they still get to walk out with some cash.�

of mom’s lies

D

ear Abby: My mother has a long history of lying in what appears to be her attempt to manipulate others. She is now 75, and my siblings and I know not to accept anything she says as the truth, and to always check with each other in order to find out the whole story.

The other day she lied to me about a doctor’s appointment. Shortly after I talked to her, my sister called me, furious about what Mom had really done. I called Mom back that evening to give her a chance to tell the truth. Instead, she made up another lie to cover up what she had done.

That’s when I told her I had already spoken to my sister.

The whole situation makes me very sad, which I told her. I let her know I am “on to her� and have decided to give both of us some time to think about the situation. I know you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and I have given up trying.

I love Mom, but her continued manipulation of others has driven me away from her. Is there any way for her to see how much her inappropriate behavior affects those of us who care about her? – Sad Son in Austin, Texas Dear Sad Son: No. And by cross-checking whatever your mother

ADVICE

tells you with your siblings, you are handling a difficult situation as well as you can.

Dear Abby

Dear Abby: Our ■■■19-yearold son is home from college for the summer and he “knows everything.� His father and I have told him to wash all fruits and vegetables we buy fresh from the market before eating them. He feels this is not important and continues to eat apples, strawberries and lettuce directly from the container or plastic bag without rinsing them.

Please let me know if our fears are real. I have always been told washing is necessary. I would love to show him something on this subject because he thinks I’m silly and overprotective. – Mother Knows Best in Texas Dear M.K.B.: If seeing it in print will get your son’s attention, I’m happy to oblige. Have him try this experiment: The next time he decides to eat a nice, shiny apple, have him soak it for 5 to 10 minutes in water to which several tablespoons of vinegar have been added. This will remove the waxy coating that is usually sprayed

on them, and with it any dirt or “little critters� that may have become attached.

Also, periodically on the nightly news we hear announcements of FDA recalls because of salmonella or E. coli that has been discovered on various vegetables. Although some are packaged as ready-to-eat, they, too, should be rinsed before using. Consider it “health insurance.�

Dear Abby: I am the parent of a child with special needs. To an outsider he looks different; adults and children stare at him when we’re out.

My son is not aware of their impolite behavior, but I am – and it really irks me. What should I say to these insensitive people? – Boiling Mad in New Jersey Dear Boiling Mad: I don’t think you should say anything. It is not unusual for individuals of every age to do a double take when they see someone – or something – that is “different.� Of course staring is impolite, but unless someone makes a remark or asks a question about your son, you should ignore the person.

Young Muslimahs Conference

Members of Triad Rotary Club sponsored a garden for the inclusive autistic class at Southwest Middle School.

Sally Thompson, an assistant teacher of the class, spoke to members of the club about trying to educate students about vegetables. Some thought they came from cans. The garden was planted last spring, and students helped with planting and harvesting. Jim Gayle, owner of Jim Gayle’s Lawn and Landscape Maintenance, donated labor to clear the space for the garden. Pictured are (from left): Steve Farabee, Triad Rotary president; students Sara and Ashley Bruno; and Thompson.

How to ID and control moles

Q

uestion: How do I identify and control moles and

voles?

Answer: Both moles and voles are active in many landscapes. Moles are generally carnivores and feed on grubs, earthworms, insects and other animals in the soil. They seldom feed on plants or plant parts. Voles are generally herbivores and feed mostly on plant parts such at roots, stems, tubers, rhizomes and bulbs.

Moles will generally leave raised, shallow tunnels in your yard along with volcano-shaped piles of dirt. Voles (or meadow mice) do not leave either one. Instead, you see small (about 1.5 inch in diameter) open holes, with pathways often extending from them above ground.

Control and management methods for these two species are quite different, so it is important that you be able to distinguish between the two.

Question: How can I protect my plants from voles?

Answer: In North Carolina, there are two kinds of voles that may cause damage to gardens, fruit and other plantings: meadow voles, (Microtus pennsylvanicus) and pine voles (Microtus pinetorum).

Voles are active day and night the entire year. They construct a complex tunnel system with surface runways and numerous burrow entrances. A single tunnel system may contain several adults and young.

Voles have short life

BIBLE QUIZ

---Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Bible question: Did Jesus consider fulfillment of the law important?

Answer to yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question: Yes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.â&#x20AC;?

(Matthew 5:18) Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bible question: Complete: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the ... in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called ... in the kingdom of heaven.â&#x20AC;?

spans, ranging from two to 16 months. Breeding occurs primarily in spring and summer, producing from one to five litters of three to six young per year. Females mature in 35 to 40 days.

The following suggestions will help in vole control: â&#x20AC;˘ Eliminate weeds, ground cover and crop litter in and around cultivated areas. This reduces the availability of food and cover for voles. â&#x20AC;˘ In vegetable gardens, frequent tillage removes cover, destroys existing runways or tunnels and destroys a percentage of the existing population. â&#x20AC;˘ Wire or metal barriers (tree guards) at least 12 inches high, with a mesh size of Âź inch or less around blueberries or trees will exclude meadow voles. Bury the bottom edge 6-10 inches to prevent pine voles from digging beneath the barrier. â&#x20AC;˘ Susceptible plants such as hosta can be planted with a gravel mix in the planting hole. â&#x20AC;˘ Mouse traps or snapback traps can be very effective in reducing the vole population. Place the trap perpendicular to the runway with the trigger end in the runway.

Apple slices or a peanut butter-oatmeal mixture make good baits.

Emphysema/asthma can be inherited

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My wife of 55 years died last year from the complications of an illness known as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. In her late 40s, she would become unduly winded doing the polka. After many internist and a few pulmonary specialist visits, all of whom prescribed asthma medicines for her, she persisted with a chronic cough. She finally found a pulmonary specialist who tested her for alpha-1 antitrypsin.

In one of your articles, you failed to mention testing for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency for an asthmatic who did not respond to treatment. I hope you would recommend the blood test for people with asthmalike symptoms who do not respond to usual medicines. – B.S.

BLONDIE

B.C.

An under-recognized pulmonary condition that often is mistaken for ordinary asthma or emphysema is the inherited illness alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Lungs have their own cleanup crew. The crew scrubs the millions of air sacs (alveoli) in each lung on a daily basis. This crew is a bit over the top.

Something has to tell it to quit, or it damages the air sacs by overzealous scrubbing. That something is alpha-1 antitrypsin. People without enough of it develop symptoms of emphysema or asthma because of air

sac damage.

Estimates have it that 3 percent of people HEALTH diagnosed with COPD Dr. Paul – chronic Donohue obstruc■■■ tive pulmonary disease (emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma) – have the alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

That amounts to well over 100,000 people in the United States, and most of them are not correctly diagnosed.

People with the deficiency have to guard their lungs carefully.

They must have the yearly flu vaccine, and they also should have the pneumonia vaccine. They have to take precautions against catching colds, and should promptly report any changes in their symptoms or breathing to their doctors.

Augmentation therapy – supplying the missing enzyme intravenously – is promoted by many lung specialists, but not all.

The diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin is confirmed by blood tests, tests often not thought of. They should be.

Dear Dr. Donohue: For the past two months, I have had an extremely dry mouth and a sensitive tongue. I have to

sip water all day long.

My doctor can’t find out what’s causing it. An ear, nose and throat doctor prescribed pilocarpine, which didn’t help.

Do you have any ideas?

– Anon.

I can suggest one illness – Sjogren’s (SHOW-grins) syndrome. It’s an attack on the salivary glands by the immune system.

The result is a dry mouth. Often, dry eyes are part of the picture.

Even if it’s not Sjogren’s, doing the things that Sjogren’s patients do will help you.

Constant sipping on water is wise. Carry a squeeze bottle with you, and don’t hesitate to use it. Chewing sugarless gum promotes saliva production. Artificial salivas, found in all drugstores, can be helpful. Oasis mouth spray or Numoisyn liquid lozenges provide relief. The Biotene company makes many products that you’ll find on drugstore shelves. One or more of them will help keep your mouth moist. Although pilocarpine didn’t work for you, another oral medicine, Evoxac, might.

You won’t go wrong by contacting the Sjogren’s Syndrome Foundation at: 800-475-6473 or on the Internet at www.sjogrens.org. The foundation will explain the syndrome to you in detail and give you many hints on how to control dry mouth.

Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., answers questions on Capitol Hill in Washington Thursday.

Rangel charged with ethics misdeeds WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A House investigative committee on Thursday charged New York Rep. Charles Rangel with multiple ethics violations, dealing a serious blow to the former Ways and Means chairman and complicating Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; election-year outlook.

The panel did not immediately specify the charges against the Democrat, who has served in

the House for some 40 years and is fourth in seniority. The charges by a four-member panel of the House ethics committee sends the case to a House trial, where a separate eight-member panel of Republicans and Democrats will decide whether the violations can be proved by clear and convincing evidence.

The timing of the announcement ensures that

On their trips to the region, both the president and Mrs. Obama have made a point of encouraging people to visit Gulf Coast beaches that are open and oil-free to help boost an area economy battered by the sharp decline in tourism that followed the spill.

Susan Haynes retired from High Point Bank to become the receptionist at the new Haynes-Inman Center, named in part for her late daughter Meredith. She is congratulated by Dorris Koontz.

Mother, businesswoman retires to join special center in Jamestown named partly in her daughter’s honor

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

It’s not that Susan Haynes has grown weary of banking, even after 45 years in the business. It’s simply that she’s pursuing an investment with greater personal dividends.

Haynes, who has spent the past 40 years with High Point Bank, retired this month to become the receptionist at the new Meredith Leigh Haynes Bennie Lee Inman Education Center in Jamestown, Guilford County’s facility for children with developmental disabilities that opens this fall.

The new school holds a special place in Haynes’ heart because it’s named in part for her late daughter, Meredith, who was developmentally disabled.

“I’ve had a terrific relationship with the bank and with my customers, but this is just something I want to do,” says Haynes, 63. “I want to be a part of that school.”

Having Meredith’s name on the new school seems only fitting, because it was built for students such as her, for whom getting to Gateway Education Center – the special-education center in east Greensboro – was not convenient.

“If Meredith had gone on the bus, it could’ve been a 31⁄2- to 4hour ride,” Haynes says. “So my husband (Norris) and I drove her to Gateway in the mornings, then

came back to High Point for our jobs.”

Meredith developed normally until she was about 18 months old, when she was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis, a disease that caused the growth of small

Meredith developed normally until she was about 18 months old, when she was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis. tumors on her brain, resulting in physical and developmental disabilities.

“She walked and talked until 18 months, and then she started regressing, and she never said another word the rest of her life,” Haynes says. “She was able to walk, but she was not real steady on her feet. She was not pottytrained, and she needed help feeding herself. She was very lowfunctioning.”

Meredith died of pneumonia in March 1993, at the age of 20.

The $18 million Haynes-Inman Center for Education was built on 14 acres formerly owned by Meredith’s grandfather, Thur-

man Haynes, along Harvey Road.

It was named for Meredith at her parents’ request, and with community support.

“We had such an outpouring of people who wrote in favor of naming the school after Meredith – teachers she’d had, other people we knew,” Haynes says. “It was unbelievable how many people wrote in saying they thought it was a wonderful idea.”

Meredith shares the facility’s name with Bennie Lee Inman, longtime director of the Greensboro Cerebral Palsy School who also played an integral role in the opening of Gateway Education Center.

“We’re very pleased it turned out that way,” Haynes says. “This is the first time a student’s name has been used for a facility in North Carolina, so we thought that was an honor. And Mrs. Inman had done so much, we thought it was a great thing to have a student and an educator to share the name.”

And for Haynes, going to work at the school brings her full circle.

“I’m hoping to help other parents there, because I know what they’re going through,” she says.

“And it’s something I want to do for myself, to complete my life and give back to the schools what they did for Meredith.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

“Do you believe that bit about ’Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus’?” I asked Wendy, my club’s feminist.

“I don’t know about women,” she said, “but men must be from Mars.

Look how the place has deteriorated.”

Cy the Cynic was Wendy’s partner when he played 3NT. At the second trick he led a diamond to dummy’s jack, winning.

Cy then returned a club to his hand and led a diamond to the queen.

EIGHT TRICKS This time East won and led a heart, and Cy won, led a club to dummy and tried the ace of diamonds.

When West discarded, Cy took only two diamonds -and eight tricks in all.

“I heard the Cynic was divorced,” Wendy told me. “That must be how he lost 90 percent of his intelligence.”

Cy’s play deteriorated at Trick Two. Since he needs only three diamond tricks to make 3NT, he should play low from dummy on the first diamond to keep a link. If East returns a heart, Cy leads a diamond to the queen and king. He later reaches dummy with the ace of clubs to run the diamonds.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 5 3 H 6 2 D A Q J 4 3 C A 5 4. Your partner opens one heart, you respond two diamonds and he bids three clubs. The opponents pass. What do you say?

ANSWER: Your partner’s “high reverse” promises substantial extra strength, hence you’ll end up at a game or a slam. At this point, you can’t support either of partner’s suits or comfortably bid 3NT. Your most descriptive marktime bid is three diamonds, suggesting a long, strong suit.

South dealer Both sides vulnerable

Friday, July 23, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Daniel Radcliffe, 21; Nomar Garciapara, 37; Marlon Wayans, 38; Woody Harrelson, 49 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Expect to face challenges and people who do not have your best interests at heart. Oversee everything yourself and protect what you have worked so hard to achieve. This may be a year of unexpected change but, in the end, if you are willing to deal with each matter as it arises, you will end up with exactly what you want and a whole lot more. Your numbers are 2, 9, 14, 26, 29, 35, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you start to socialize before you finish your work, you will be faced with complaints. Insecurity about work and stress about your current position will be unwarranted. Don’t fret. Put an immediate end to any rumors. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stay on top of what needs to be done and refuse to let anyone turn you into a scapegoat. If you react emotionally, you will be accused of not being able to handle responsibility. Focus on love later in the day. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let love cause you to make a foolish mistake. You may be asked to physically help or make a donation to a cause you know little about. Research before you pledge your time or your cash. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Uncertainty will be your downfall. Size up whatever situation you face and make a decision or you will appear incompetent. Adaptability and acceptance will be the key to your success. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put your best foot forward and you’ll attract positive attention. Travel should be in your plans, even if it is just to visit a friend. Don’t let someone else’s change of plans disrupt yours. You will have greater insight into a financial matter. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Love is in the stars and an intimate evening should be in the works.

It will lead to an enjoyable and monumental weekend. Your attentive responses will win favors and approval. Don’t overspend. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Proceed with caution. Not everyone will be on your side. Doubt will arise within a relationship. Keep your thoughts to yourself or you are likely to end up in an argument that is impossible to win. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can deliver an ultimatum to someone once you have an alternative route to take. Getting involved in an organization that can cover your back in a time of need will bring you reassurance and the support you need to follow through with your plans. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stick close to home and defend your reputation if someone implies you have been doing things that might disrupt your personal or professional standing.

You won’t be able to cover up a mistake, so be open about what happened. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look at all the angles and make whatever move will help you come out on top. Property investments can help you prosper but not if you decide to get involved in a joint venture. There are lots of perks heading your way. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The right partnership will contribute to your goals and plans.

The help offered through an organization you join will be to your benefit. Trying to change your lifestyle or make improvements will pay off and boost your confidence. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have to be decisive about what you want and what you are willing to offer others. Love is in the stars but, if you are wishy-washy, you will send the wrong signal. Showing a little backbone will make the difference. ★★★★ 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.

Call 888-3555 COMBINED NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS July 23, 2010 City of High Point, 211 S. Hamilton Street, High Point, NC 27260 (336) 883-3349The following is a public notice concerning the environmental impact of an Affordable Housing Project, including the acquisition of land and development of a 56 unit apartment community, to serve the elderly.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI) The City of High Point has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional information respecting the project is on file at the following address and is available for public examination, upon request, between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM at the City of High Point Community Development & Housing Department, Room 312, 211 S. Hamilton Street, High Point, NC 27260 NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS (RROF) On or about August 1, 2010, the City of High Point (City) will submit a request to the North Carolina Department of Commerce (NCDOC) for the release of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program as amended, for the purpose of assisting in the development of Admiral Pointe, a 56 unit apartment community to serve the elderly, located at 5085 Samet Drive, High Point.

PUBLIC COMMENTS All interested agencies, groups, and persons disagreeing with this determination or desiring to comment upon the Finding of No Significant Impact and the Request for the Release of Funds are invited to submit written comments for consideration by the City of High Point to: Mr. Ed Brown, Project Manager, Community Development & Housing Department, P.O. Box 230, High Point, NC 27261. Such written comments should be received within seven days (7) days after the publication of this notice. All comments will be considered prior to funding the proposed activity. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

RELEASE OF FUNDS The City of High Point will undertake the project described above with Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under Division B, Title III of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008. The City of High Point certifies to HUD that the City of High Point and Rebecca R. Smothers, in her official capacity as Mayor, and the NCDOC consent to accept the jurisdiction of the federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibility in relation to environmental reviews, decision-making and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD and NCDOCʼs approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the City of High Point to use Neighborhood Stabilization Program Funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD and NCDOC will accept objections to its release of funds and the Cityʼs certification for a period of fifteen days (15) following the submission date of August 1, 2010 if the objections are for the following basis: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of High Point; (b) the City of High Point has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding as required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD and NCDOC; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with required procedures at 24 CFR Part 58 and shall be addressed to Ms. Pauline High, Community Planner II, North Carolina Department of Commerce, Division of Community Assistance, 100 E. Six Forks Road, Second Floor, Raleigh, NC 27609. (919) 571-4900 Potential objectors must contact Ms. High to confirm the dates of the objection period.

Weaver 10-under

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

are pretty low. The guys coming out of college are ready to play.

They are more athletic. There’s more depth. When you have 205 guys and most of them are good, the scores are going to be good.

Last month, I shot 14-under in back-to-back tournaments and didn’t crack the top 10.”

Wilfong has played professionally every year since leaving Wake. He started on the Hooters Tour in 2003 and stayed on it in 2004 (winning one event), went to the third stage of PGA Qualifying School to get on the Nationwide Tour in 2005, and stayed there in 2006. He’s been on the eGolf Tour since 2007.

He will go to Q-School again this winter.

“I’ve been close,” he said. “I got to the final stage of Q School in 2004 and then dogged it. Everybody out here thinks they can make it. You just have to play well at the right time and in the right event. I’ll give it a little bit more time. I won’t give it too much longer before I give it up and do something to make some money.”

GREENSBORO – Shooting 10under-par for two rounds might be considered pretty hard to top in some circles, but not on the eGolf Professional Tour.

High Point’s Drew Weaver and two others shared the early lead Thursday in the Forest Oaks Classic before Drew Stoltz of Scottsdale, Ariz., posted an 8under-64 at High Point Country Club’s Willow Creek course to move to 12-under. And even Stoltz had company at the top after Daniel Woltman of Beaver Dam, Wis., finished a secondround 68 to stand at 12-under for the tournament.

“You kind of get used to it out here,” Weaver said of seeing ultra-low scores posted. “It’s more about putting yourself in position and not worrying about if you’re in the lead or not. It’s a 72-hole race.”

Weaver will be running from the front of the pack today following Thursday’s 4-under-par 68 at Forest Oaks Country Club.

After carding a 6-under 66 at Willow Creek on Wednesday that included a number of nearmisses on the green, Weaver drained three putts of 20 feet and another 10-footer for birdie in Round 2.

Weaver finished with birdies on the fourth, sixth, seventh, 13th and 18th holes, with his lone bogey over the first 36 holes coming when a four-footer for par missed at No. 15.

“I gave myself a solid amount of chances and rolled in a few putts,” Weaver said. “I definitely made more putts than I made yesterday, so that was good. I feel like my game’s in a good place. It’s nice to not be fighting any one particular aspect of my game.”

Weaver returns to Forest Oaks this morning and for Saturday’s final round. Tied for fourth place – Nathan Stamey of Bluffton, S.C., landed third at 11-under – Weaver tees off today from No. 1 at 9:30 a.m. with playing partners Edward Loar and Scott Parel.

While Weaver currently ranks 15th on the eGolf Tour’s money list – this field is playing for a first-place check of more than $30,000 of the $235,000 purse – Stoltz burst onto the scene this week after three missed cuts and a tie for 57th place in his only four eGolf events of the year. Woltman currently sits 70th on the money list.

Loar, the first-round leader, followed Wednesday’s 62 at Forest Oaks with a disappointing even-par effort at Willow Creek that included a double-bogey 6 on the 12th hole. Parel, a 45year-old from Augusta, Ga., is 17th on the tour money list and looking to move up after a pair of 5-under-par rounds.

“I’ve been 10-under and 11-under in a couple of other events after two rounds,” Weaver said.

“It’s certainly a good start. I feel like I’m in good position for the weekend.”

Former East Davidson High School star Chad Wilfong competes during the second round of the eGolf Professional Tour’s Forest Oaks Classic. Thursday’s 4-under at Willow Creek helped Wilfong make the cut.

Wilfong chases dream

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Chad Wilfong kept grinding away Thursday.

Approaching 30 and in his seventh season of playing in golf’s minor leagues since graduating from Wake Forest, he continues to chase the dream of playing on the PGA Tour. He fired a 4-underpar 68 in the second round of the Forest Oaks Classic at High Point Country Club’s Willow Creek.

The effort left the Thomasville native and East Davidson graduate – who now lives in Charlotte – at 6-under after 36 holes, good enough for a tie for 29th but six shots off the lead going into the third round of the eGolf Tour’s event today at Forest Oaks. He tees off at 8:10 a.m. from No. 1.

With his father caddying and his mother serving as the only gallery member for his group, Wilfong registered five birdies and one bogey on a course where he won the 2001 North Carolina Amateur and plays five to seven times a year.

His round started with six straight pars. He then birdied

Nos. 7 and 8, parred 9 and birdied 10. He knocked in a birdie on 12 from 18 feet, but dropped that shot when his approach on 14 landed past the hole, the birdie attempt ran past and he couldn’t convert the par putt.

“If there is one thing you don’t want to do on 14, it is put it above the hole,” he said. “That was my only mental mistake. It was the only time I quit thinking.”

He birdied 17, getting on in two, putting across the green and tapping in. On 18, his birdie attempt from seven feet came up short by inches. He also felt that he should have made birdie putts on Nos. 1 and 3, and that he dropped another shot to the leaders when he failed to birdie the par-5 fourth.

“I shot a good score, but I left too much out there,” Wilfong said. “At these mini-tour events, it takes 20-under to win, so you just can’t waste too many opportunities.”

Still, Wilfong made the cut, something he has not done in six of his 12 starts this season.

“I’ve played well, shot good scores,” Wilfong said. “I keep shooting under par, but the cuts

pon further review, the “First Four” appears to be the last thing the NCAA men’s basketball tournament needed.

With the NCAA Tournament expanding to 68 teams, it became a whole lot tougher to configure a bracket for March Madness.

I get the reasoning for expansion. More berths means more teams leave “Selection Sunday” with a feeling of satisfaction, and of course, more teams means more games and more money.

That’s the bottom line, and I understand.

What I don’t get is the way the NCAA will determine who plays in those first four

games. Two of the games will match teams rated 65 through 68 in the field, while the other two games will feature the last four teams granted at-large bids. The two winners from the games pitting at-large teams then slide into the slots they would have held in a regular 64-team bracket from the past.

To put it simply, the participants in the “First Four” will not be the last eight rated in the field.

That’s not fair.

If you’re slotted to be a 10 or 11 seed, that means the committee rated at least 15 or

20 teams below you in the overall pecking order.

The fact that some of those teams earned automatic conference bids should not put them ahead of stronger teams that did not.

The best way to design the bracket would be to place teams rated 61 through 68 in the “First Four” matchups.

Then again, nothing in life can be perfect and even with this expansion, the NCAA Tournament comes closer than most sporting events.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Davis: Probe was ‘out of left field’

BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

AP

Atlanta Braves starter Tim Hudson (background) celebrates with second baseman Martin Prado after a play against San Diego during Thursday’s game at Turner Field.

Braves have World Series feel THE ASSOCIATED PRES

ATLANTA – Chipper Jones is getting that 1995 feeling again.

Jones, the Atlanta Braves’ last link to their World Series championship team, says this year’s squad boasts similar strengths and balance. The latest proof was the Braves’ series win over San Diego in a matchup of first-place teams.

Tim Hudson dominated San Diego again, Alex Gonzalez capped his first homestand in Atlanta with four hits and the Braves beat the Padres 8-0 on Thursday. The Braves, who haven’t lost a series since early May, have the best record in the National League.

“This team, the more I look at it, reminds me of the ’95 team,” said Jones, who had three hits. “You don’t have guys leading the league in any category, but you have evenly distributed production up and down the lineup. More often than not, the teams with that kind of production are going to win a lot of games.”

Gonzalez had hits in his first four atbats to give him a streak of hits in six straight at-bats over two games, four shy of the Atlanta record.

“It felt good,” Gonzalez said. “I feel like part of the team. We’ve got to keep going.”

He struck out in the eighth to end the run, but still has hits in six of seven games since coming to the Braves in the July 14 swap of shortstops that sent Yunel Escobar to Toronto.

Even after Gonzalez drove in two runs with the four hits, his defense made the biggest impression on his new team.

“Watching Gonzalez play shortstop the last few days has really been special,” said manager Bobby Cox. Jones said Gonzalez is “all about defense. He’s the Ozzie Vizquel, Ozzie Smith-type shortstop. I know that’s lofty praise, but that’s how much I think of him.”

Hudson (10-5) allowed only four hits in seven scoreless innings. He is 5-0 in nine career appearances against the Padres, including two wins this season.

Jason Heyward had two hits and drove in two runs. He was 7 for 15 in the series.

The Braves led 4-0 before adding four runs in the seventh off Ryan Webb.

PHILLIES 2, CARDINALS 0 (11) ST. LOUIS – Placido Polanco homered leading off the 11th inning as the Phillies survived another poor offensive showing to end the Cardinals’ eightgame winning streak.

Cole Hamels allowed one hit in eight innings, a solid single by Matt Holliday leading off the fourth, in 91-degree heat and high humidity. Four relievers, including Chad Durbin (2-1) did not allow a hit over the final three innings to finish the one-hitter.

MARLINS 3, ROCKIES 2 MIAMI – Ronny Paulino hit the winning single with the bases loaded and none out in the ninth inning to send the Rockies to their fifth loss in seven games since the All-Star break.

Florida’s Josh Johnson struck out 11 in 6 1/3 innings and allowed only one run. He lowered his ERA to 1.61, best in the majors.

NATIONALS 7, REDS 1 CINCINNATI – Adam Dunn hit a tworun homer off Edinson Volquez, who had a rough time in his second start since elbow surgery.

Volquez (1-1) dominated Colorado last Saturday in his return from reconstructive elbow surgery. He had control problems this time, giving up six runs in only 2 1-3 innings.

TIGERS 5, BLUE JAYS 2 DETROIT – Miguel Cabrera started a three-run eighth inning with an RBI double and Justin Verlander settled down after a rocky start to go eight innings in Detroit’s victory over Toronto.

Verlander (12-5) struggled the first two innings but ended up allowing two runs and eight hits. He walked two in the first inning but didn’t issue another base on balls.

Contador sets stage for title COL DU TOURMALET, France (AP) – Defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain virtually secured a third Tour de France title Thursday after staying with yellow-jersey rival Andy Schleck all the way to the top of the legendary Col du Tourmalet in the pivotal 17th stage.

Schleck won the prestigious stage, but Contador crossed the line nearly shoulder to shoulder with the Luxembourg rider after the pair had broken clear in the final six miles.

Contador appeared completely at ease as Schleck set a punishing pace up the final climb.

The Spaniard even moved in front at one point, but didn’t appear concerned

about trying to cross the line first.

Contador retained his eight-second lead in the overall standings and looks destined to be wearing yellow when the Tour rides into Paris for Sunday’s largely ceremonial final stage.

Schleck knew he needed to pick up time on Contador in the last stage in the Pyrenees, but could not break the Spaniard.

They completed the 108.1 miles from Pau to the top of the Col du Tourmalet in 5 hours, 3 minutes, 29 seconds.

“I still have to reach Paris, and it won’t be easy,” Contador said.

“But the most important thing for me today was that I didn’t lose time.”

Time gaps are still expected to change in Saturday’s time trial, but that is Contador’s specialty.

Schleck had acknowledged before Thursday’s stage that he would need to pick up at least a minute on Contador if he was to have a chance of winning the Tour.

Lance Armstrong was with the Schleck-Contador group until Schleck made his move 6 miles from the summit of the Tourmalet.

The Texan finished 17th, 4:12 off the pace.

Anthony Charteau of France finished in 27th place, having done enough to guarantee he would be the overall winner of the King of the Mountains’ polka-dot jersey for the Tour’s best climber.

DURHAM – After first-year East Carolina football coach Ruffin McNeill finished discussing the hectic summer his team has faced so far, the floor was given to North Carolina’s Butch Davis at Thursday’s Eighth Bill Dooley Triangle/East Chapter Pigskin Preview.

The Tar Heels’ coach used the opportunity to make his first comments about an NCAA investigation that came to light last week.

“Think Ruffin would like to trade whirlwinds?” Davis quipped, drawing laughter.

It was the first public acknowledgement from a UNC representative that the NCAA is investigating players in the football program, but Davis said he couldn’t go into details.

“The NCAA has told us not to make any comments until this review is over with,” Davis said. “The only things that I can say is … that the NCAA did come on campus. They are going through a review, as everybody can attest to the fact it’s spreading significantly to different other institutions around the country, and that they are going to try to work as fast and as quickly as possible to try to come to some kind of resolution.”

The NCAA’s interest reportedly is focused on improper contact between players and agents, with players at South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Georgia also are being questioned.

Davis said the investigation came “out of left field” but his players have been “unbelievable cooperative,” and they are just trying to get through the process as quickly as possible.

Davis said he doesn’t know when the investigation will conclude but has been told it is a priority.

“I don’t think anybody expected any of this stuff was going to potentially

happen,” Davis said. “But it is what it is.”

Davis wouldn’t answer a question specifically about Marvin Austin or Greg Little – the two players at the focus of the investigation – but said he is completely confident in his staff for doing things ethically, and they have tried to educate the players about agents.

“It’s no different than being a parent,” Davis said. “You can teach your children, you can talk to them and lessons that aren’t learned, you continue to teach those lessons. We’ve got good kids at North Carolina.”

Davis didn’t have much to say about the investigation launched Wednesday by the N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, who has said her office will focus on the actions of the agents.

Marshall told the Associated Press that she has assigned three investigators who will talk to student-athletes about their involvement, though her office cannot punish them.

“We are focusing on athlete agents and anybody who gave these young people things of value – such as trips or parties or food, women, whatever it might be,” Marshall said to the AP. Davis did seem confident, however, that the NCAA investigation – along with the arrest of Quan Sturdivant and misdemeanor charges against Jared McAdoo this summer – won’t affect the teams momentum, and said the players are excited for the start of training camp on Aug. 6 “I think that we’ve had some issues that we’ll deal with internally,” Davis said. “I think the majority of our football program, I think that they’re doing absolutely everything that we would like for them to do. And when kids make mistakes, that’s why they call you a coach and a teacher – it gives you an opportunity to try and help them learn from their mistakes and try to change.”

MLB BEGINS TESTING FOR HGH AMONG MINOR-LEAGUE PLAYERS

--- NEW YORK (AP) – Major League

Baseball implemented random blood testing for human growth hormone in the minor leagues Thursday, the first pro sports league in the U.S. to take the aggressive step against doping.

Testing will be limited to players

with minor-league contracts because they are not members of the players’ association, which means blood testing is not subject to collective bargaining.

The players association has long been against blood testing.

Shorter course in store for Oak Hollow drag boat races

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – When this year’s version of the boat drags on Oak Hollow Lake gets in gear with test and tune today, some of the racers won’t be traveling quite as far.

Taking a cue from their land counterparts – the National Hot Rod Association – sanctioning body Lucas Oil shortened the runs for its professional classes from a quarter-mile to 1,000 feet.

The NHRA made its change to length-

en the runoff areas at all venues after a death last year. Mike Chastain, director of motorsports operations for Lucas Oil, said the reduction for the drag boats was made to reduce the number of engine failures and for safety.

“We’re heavily involved in NHRA and what we found after talking to car owners is the 1,000-foot helps keep parts more livable,” Chastain said. “We’re wasting fewer parts and it is making the courses a lot more safe. We thought it was time to adopt the 1,000-foot rule.

The racers and owners like it, especial-

ly the owners, because they are the ones having to buy the parts.”

Chastain said the change has reduced the number of parts failures by 20 percent and it kept at least one boat from flipping.

With the shorter distance, the winning time in the featured Top Fuel Hydro Class in last weekend’s event in Augusta, Ga., was 2.722 seconds, with a finish trap speed of 209.147 mph. The top speed in last year’s event at Oak Hollow, the first since 2001, was 258.64 mph. Top elapsed times for the quarter-mile have

been just more than 4.5 seconds.

“They can still run on up toward 250,” Chastain said. “The speed is still there.

All the bad things that happen in drag boat racing, as dangerous as this sport is, seem to happen on the top end. This is giving the drivers more time to react.”

Chastain said he expects 80-85 boats, including 20-25 in the four professional classes. As of Thursday, four Top Fuel Hydro boats were in the pits. Chastain said a fifth was expected. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Ganassi drives for history A

s a car owner, Chip Ganassi hasn’t tasted the success in NASCAR that he has enjoyed in winning championships and races in the Indy Racing League and the Grand-Am sports car series.

Since the start of the 2003 season, Ganassi has reached NASCAR’s victory lane just twice. The first came at the hands of Juan Pablo Montoya at Sonoma in 2007. The other win was authored by Jamie McMurray in the Daytona 500, and puts Ganassi in position to make a bit of history this Sunday.

He already made some when his car driven by Dario Franchitti won the Indianapolis 500, making Ganassi the first owner to win the two most important 500-mile races in the U.S. in the same year. If either McMurray or Montoya win Sunday in the Brickyard 400, Ganassi will become the first to win the Daytona 500 and both Indianapolis events in the same year.

“Obviously, if you want to win some, those are the ones you want to win,” Ganassi said in a conference call this week while also noting the lack of other victories in both NASCAR and the IRL. Given the prowess of Montoya at IMS, Ganassi has a shot. Montoya won the Indianapolis 500 for Ganassi in 2000 and then last year almost won the Brickyard. He was untouchable from the start until

a late speeding penalty opened the door for Jimmie Johnson.

“It seems to me that from the first day he saw the place he SPORTS liked it,” Ganassi said. “Believe Greer me, I was as Smith surprised as ■■■ anybody. It was in an Indy car, and the pole speeds that year were 220 or 221 or something, and his very first run out of the box, he did a high 216 in his first four laps around the place.

“He came in and we said, ‘What’s the car doing?’ He said: ‘The car is doing nothing. It’s like a slot car.’ I said, ‘What do we need to go faster?’ He said, ‘I just got to hold my foot down further.’ OK. It’s not a complex thing. At least it wasn’t that day. As we all know, certainly 90 to 95 percent of racing you can pick up pretty quick. It’s that last 5 percent you’ll work on the rest of your life.”

Dale Jarrett, the former Cup champ who will call the race for ESPN, said Montoya just has a knack for getting around Indy quickly.

“I think what makes Juan Pablo so good, there are certain drivers that get a feel for a racetrack regardless what you’re going to drive there,” Jarrett said. “And that helps his crew chief a lot because he knows what feel that he’s looking for and he

Ganassi said he got over the sting of last year’s defeat in about 20 minutes because he was more concerned about recovery from surgery on his eye.

He said Montoya took a few more minutes to let the loss go.

“I don’t want to make a big thing about it, but that puts things into perspective really quickly about what’s important in life and what isn’t,” Ganassi said. “There are things more important than winning races. However, having said that, all the great races are great to win. And that one

would certainly mean a little more because for me and for racing, that’s where racing got started.”

Drawing on personal experience, Jarrett believes the Ganassi team is pointing toward vindication. Driving for Robert Yates in 1998, Jarrett dominated until running out of fuel in a failed attempt to win a bonus for leading at halfway. Jarrett was taken out of contention by the blunder.

He got the second of his Brickyard victories the next year.

Womble falls at Junior Am ENTERPRISE STAFF, WIRE REPORTS

ADA, Mich. – High Point’s Davis Womble didn’t lose his match Thursday at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. He simply got in the way of steamroller Jim Liu of Smithtown, N.Y. Liu recorded birdies on eight of the 11 holes he and Womble played in the Round of 32 on the Classic Course at Egypt Valley Country Club, with Womble winning only the third hole with a birdie-4 and halving the par-3 sixth.

It all added up to an 8 & 7 loss Wesleyan Christian Academy’s rising junior, while Liu won his second match Thursday to reach this morning’s quarterfinals. The semifinals follow.

Fourteen-year-old Robby Shelton of Wilmer, Ala., also won twice Thursday to advance, along with Denny McCarthy of Burtonsville, Md., Gavin Hall of Pittsford, N.Y., Richard Jung of Toronto, Justin Thomas of Goshen, Ky., Scott Wolfes of St. Simons Island, Ga., and Anthony Paolucci of Del Mar, Calif.

Shelton, a high school sophomore, won the final two holes to beat defending champion Jordan Spieth of Dallas 1-up in the second round of match play.

McCarthy, 17, advanced to the third round with a 3 and 2 victory over Curtis Thompson of Coral Springs, Fla., who shot a 10-under to win medalist honors in the two qualifying rounds.

Earnings, jobless claims send mixed message WASHINGTON (AP) – A flurry of strong earnings reports renewed Wall Street’s optimism in the economic recovery, even as new data Thursday showed homes sales sinking and claims for unemployment benefits rising.

Sales of previously occupied homes fell 5.1 percent in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.37 million, the National Association of Realtors said.

Meanwhile, new claims for unemployment insurance jumped by 37,000 to a seasonally adjusted 464,000, the Labor De-

Bristol-Myers posts 6 percent profit loss TRENTON, N.J. – Drugmaker Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. said Thursday its second-quarter sales rose slightly but profit was down nearly 6 percent, due to the loss of income from its former nutrition business, spun off late last year.

Bristol managed to beat analysts’ profit estimates by a penny per share. But its revenue just missed their expectations. Bristol-Myers reported net income of $927 million, or 53 cents per share. A year earlier, it earned $983 million, or 49 cents per share.

Sales boost drives up AutoNation earnings NEW YORK – AutoNation Inc.’s net income rose 29 percent in the second quarter, driven by a recovery in sales of new and used cars and trucks, the country’s largest dealership chain said Thursday.

CEO Mike Jackson said new cars at his dealers are selling for about $1,000 more on average.

Sales in the “ground zero” states of the housing meltdown are up 20 percent, he said.

AutoNation, based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., posted net income of $47.2 million, or 29 cents per share.

Oil prices rise on Gulf storm forecast Oil prices advanced Thursday as energy producers kept an eye on a developing tropical storm that could move into the Gulf of Mexico by the weekend.

At the gas pump, prices were unchanged at a national average of $2.718 for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline. Benchmark crude surged $2.74, or 3.6 percent, to settle at $79.30 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

partment said. Seasonal factors boosted new requests for benefits. Still, first-time claims remain elevated, pointing to a sluggish job market.

Separately, the Conference board, a private research group, said its gauge of future economic activity dropped in June. It was the second decline in three months.

But investors looked past the latest reports to focus on earnings from a broad range of companies that showed businesses aren’t seeing a slowdown.

Caterpillar Inc., 3M Co., UPS Inc. and AT&T Inc.

all topped earnings forecasts and raised their outlooks for future profit.

Still, the housing industry has struggled the past two months since government incentives ended in April, even with low home prices and mortgage rates.

High unemployment, tight credit and a rise in foreclosures have kept many people from buying.

“The economy and the housing market are going to remain stagnant for a long time,” said Sam Khater, senior economist at real estate data provider CoreLogic.

Bernanke: Don’t end stimulus spending WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress Thursday that the fragile economy needs government stimulus spending to strengthen the recovery and help reduce unemployment.

Testifying before the House Financial Services Committee, Bernanke urged lawmakers to come up with a credible plan to reduce the government’s record-high budget deficits in the long run. But he said they shouldn’t move now to slash spending or boost taxes in the near future.

“I believe we should maintain our stimulus in the short term,” Bernanke said as he spoke about the economy’s challenges for the second straight day on Capitol Hill.

Bernanke again said the Fed is prepared to take new steps to bolster the recovery if needed.

“We are ready, and we will act” if the economy doesn’t continue to improve, Bernanke testified.

But he refrained from repeating comments made earlier in the week, that he didn’t anticipate the Fed taking new action in the near term.

The Fed chief made his comments as the panel’s highest-ranking Republican, Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama, and other Republican members complained about the effectiveness of President Barack Obama’s $862 billion stimulus package.

“The economic recovery is anemic at best,” Bachus said, arguing that the stimulus package hasn’t delivered.

Bernanke also gave a nod to renewing tax cuts

by President George W. Bush, which are set to expire at the end of the year.

“In the short term, I would believe that we ought to maintain a reasonable degree of fiscal support – stimulus – for the economy. There are many ways to do that.

This is one way,” he said.

Philip Morris income rises in 2nd quarter RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Higher retail prices and a jump in shipment volume in Asia helped net income grow 28 percent for cigarette maker Philip Morris International, which sells cigarettes overseas only, the company said Thursday.

Philip Morris International, which sells Marlboro and other top brands outside the U.S., says it earned $1.98 billion, or $1.07 per share. That compares with $1.55 billion, or 79 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding excise taxes,

revenue rose 15 percent to $7.06 billion. Most tobacco companies around the world have been raising prices to keep profits up as the recession and declining demand cut into cigarette volumes.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters on average expected profit of 97 cents per share on revenue of $6.83 billion.

After lowering its forecast for its full-year net income, the company went back Thursday to its original range of $3.75 to $3.85 per share.

NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks had their biggest rally in two weeks Thursday as earnings and economic reports reassured investors that the recovery, while uncertain, is continuing.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 201 points after second-quarter earnings from Caterpillar Inc., UPS Inc. and other companies beat analysts’ forecasts. A better than expected report on housing and encouraging signs of growth in Europe added to the upbeat mood.

But investors might be ready to sell again when trading resumes Friday.

After the close of regular trading, Amazon.com Inc. issued a report that fell short of expectations. Its stock fell almost 14 percent in after-hours trading.

If the market gives back gains Friday, it would follow its pattern of falling on disappointments in what so far has been a mixed earnings season.

Microsoft Corp. also released earnings after the close of trading and beat analyst estimates. Its stock fell slightly.

Investors had plenty of reasons to buy on Thursday. Caterpillar said its orders are growing and production will pick up in the second half of the year.

UPS raised its outlook because of spending by businesses. Caterpillar’s stock rose 1.7 percent, while UPS gained 5.2 percent.

GM to buy finance UPS raises company for $3.5 billion outlook DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; General Motors Co. will buy AmeriCredit Corp. for $3.5 billion, a deal that allows the automaker to expand loans to customers with poor credit and offer more leases, key areas where GM must grow to accelerate its car sales.

But the acquisition of the independent auto financing company also means that GM, which is 61 percent owned by the U.S. government, is getting back into the business of making risky loans. GM said it advised the U.S. Treasury Depart-

ment of the acquisition, although government approval was not required.

GM executives have said for months that they were missing sales opportunities due to lack of credit for lease deals and financing for subprime buyers, those with credit scores below 620 on a 300-to-850-point scale.

About 40 percent of U.S. customers have below prime credit scores, said Chris Liddell, GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief financial officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to bring more people into our show-

Caterpillar profit soars in 2nd quarter THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Caterpillarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondquarter earnings shot up 91 percent with the heavy machinery manufacturer reporting robust sales of equipment for industries that range from mining and infrastructure to energy.

The company boosted its 2010 profit outlook as

well on Thursday, saying it is trying to keep up with new orders and will ramp up production.

Asian sales grew by 62 percent to $1.7 billion.

The North American market, Caterpillarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest, saw sales rise 43 percent. Caterpillar reported second-quarter net income of $707 million, or $1.09 per share.

rooms and help them with finance,â&#x20AC;? he said after the deal was announced on Thursday.

Customers should now expect more lease deals from GM, which gets just 7 percent of its sales from leases, compared with 21 percent for the industry, he said. Only 4 percent of GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales come from subprime buyers, which the company hopes to expand with the acquisition. Liddell said even a modest increase in subprime buyers from 4 percent to 5 percent would be significant.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; UPS isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting U.S. consumers to significantly increase spending anytime soon.

Instead, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counting on businesses to push the economy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and UPSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; domestic business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; slowly forward with overdue purchases of computers and other electronics.

UPS on Thursday expressed confidence that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;slow paceâ&#x20AC;? of economic recovery in the U.S. can be overcome by increased prices and strong international shipments. UPS raised its fullyear outlook for the second time since January.

The results from the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest shipping company confirm that U.S. consumers and businesses arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spending beyond the necessities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except when it comes to technology.

Consumers are gobbling up iPhones, iPads and other new gadgets that are shipped from Asia, Chief Financial Officer Kurt Kuehn said in an interview with The Associated Press. Technology purchases are countering sluggish spending in other areas for businesses, too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially those that put off upgrades or new computer purchases during the recession. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tech has really been leading from Asia, with China leading the charge,â&#x20AC;? Kuehn said. A growing portion of UPSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; business is international.
