HIGH POINT – Asheboro resident Glenn Lambert had wanted to attend a boat race for years. The Lucas Oil Thunder at Oak Hollow Drag Boat Races provided Lambert and his wife, Karen, that opportunity Saturday. The Lamberts were among an estimated 2,000 people who sat on the banks of Oak Hollow Lake around noon Saturday to see the boats roar across the water. “It’s awesome,” Glenn Lambert said “We like this kind of thing. The sporting aspect of it, the motors, the loud noise and the competitiveness, it’s an awesome thing.” “It’s exciting,” Karen Lambert added. As more people filed through the gate Saturday afternoon, Ken Dollar, series director of the Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series, was pleased with the

Those who kept coolest at the Oak Hollow Boat Drags were the volunteers who pushed entrants away from the ramp. attendance. Dollar is hoping for about 15,000 people over the three-day event, which ends today. “I’m not disappointed in it at all – especially in the second year,” Dollar said. “I have no idea on the ticket count at this point because I haven’t talked to anybody, but it doesn’t look to bad.” Boat races were held ev-

ery July at the lake for 28 years until 2001. The High Point Jaycees hosted the event to raise money for charity, but stopped after the races lost money. The races were brought back last year. David Kissner II, a 38year-old Richmond, Va., resident, attended the races as a youngster at Oak Hollow Lake. He returned

to the lake on Saturday with his father. “It’s been 26 years since I’ve been here,” Kissner said. “(Dad) said he was coming. I came here to just get away and do something different. It’s nice to watch the drag boats and the speed of it. It’s a cool little place.” High Point resident Mark Ellis also was joined by

Don’t hold your breath! North Carolina bid for additional Congressional seat falls short BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – For at least two years, many political analysts have said that fast-growing North Carolina could gain another Congressional seat after the 2010 Census. Election Data Services estimates that southern states will gain six Congressional seats, but the Tar Heel state is off the list. The gains in the South will come at the expense of losses in the Northeast and Midwest. In the South, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina remain on the list to gain a Congressional seat. EDS says “all six models now show the state will just miss gaining an additional seat next year.” Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Washington would gain a seat and Texas could gain three. Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, could lose a seat while Ohio stands to lose two seats, according to EDS population estimates based on census figures. “A number of states have much to gain or lose by very small margins in the census, which points out the need to have a full and complete count in a number of these states,” Kimball W. Brace, EDS president, said in a recent report. EDS is a Virginia-based political consulting firm specializing in redistricting and election administration. But none of the EDS projections account for military troops stationed overseas. The troop count helped

North Carolina gain a seat in 2000. But so far, the 2009 military count is not enough to give the state a 14th seat. Nevertheless, Gov. Beverly Perdue sent a letter to census officials and to North Carolina’s Congressional delegation suggesting that the bureau count deployed military personnel at their base of last assignment and provide a more accurate count of military communities. Part of the shift in opinion about district alignments goes to mobility and migration to the Sun Belt. There have not been as many people moving south because of the economic downturn. Arizona was expected to gain two seats, but new projections give it one. Meanwhile, Florida, which first appeared to gain two seats, according to longer-term projections in 2008, would grab just one new seat, according to EDS. “This slowdown in mobility will also have a definite impact on the apportionment process this decade.” Brace said in the report. Whether the shift in seats will alter the political landscape is not clear in several states, but Georgia and South Carolina could go under full Republican control after redistricting, according to some analysts. “Not having to make a new 14th district should make redistricting somewhat easier,” said Charles Prysby, professor of political science at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Federal aid programs: Good census count is necessary for fairness BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Could Guilford County come up short on state and federal allocations if the U.S. Census misses counting all residents? The Institute for Southern Studies (ISS), a progressive policy re-

search group in Durham, has speculated for months that the state count will be short. If the count is just 1 percent low, the state would lose more than $140 million a year, according to Democracy North Carolina. Overall, Guilford County received $535 million in federal assistance in 2008 based on census numbers, or $1,100 per resident, ac-

cording to a Brookings Institution analysis. The programs ranged from highway construction to education and health. ISS ranked Guilford 19th on a list of social factors that could cause an undercount. “The high risk counties are poor

family members at the races. “It’s definitely good,” Ellis said. “It’s something different to do. We have never been here. We live right by here. We saw a lot of people come in and we thought we would come.” Gates will open today at 7 a.m., with races beginning at 10 a.m.

LENOIR – A teenager who disappeared from the Collettsville area nearly three weeks ago still is missing, and investigators with the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office continue their attempts to locate him. Seventeen-year-old Johnny Allen Yates last was seen around 2 p.m. on Monday, July 5 walking near Hoyle’s Grocery Store, located at the intersection of N.C. 90 and Adako Road in Collettsville.

Fore said there has been nothing to indicate any foul play. He added that detectives do not believe that Yates is in any kind of danger, adding that the teen’s mother thinks he may be receiving assistance as a runaway. “We just want to know he’s safe and not in danger,” Fore said, noting that investigators have been following up on all leads related to the case.

County reports 11th rabies case ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY — Health officials reported this week that a cat found on Summerfield Road in Summerfield tested positive for the rabies virus. The rabid cat had contact with two people. The case is the eleventh this year of animal rabies in Guilford County. Rabies continues to circulate among wildlife. State law requires rabies vaccinations for

all domestic animals 4 months old and older and that their vaccinations are kept current. The law applies even if pets are exclusively kept indoors. Overall, there is a 60 percent chance that any pet can get rabies if exposed to a rabid animal because only 40 percent of pets are vaccinated, heath officials have said for years. Unvaccinated pets exposed to a rabid animal must be euthanized or confined for six months in a

County bars commissioner’s husband from its meetings MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

ROCKINGHAM – The husband of Richmond County Commissioner Pam Dillman has been banned from attending county meetings after several incidents over the past few months. Paul Dillman was notified of the ban on Friday via a certified letter. When the county asked for a meeting, the Dillmans suggested a Thursday date, but the couple did not attend. The letter says: After the July 13 meeting, Paul Dillman made angry and threatening comments to County Commissioner Thad L. Ussery in the hallway outside of the commissioners chambers and then in the foyer in front of the county managers office. His behavior necessitated the return of two sheriff deputies to the building and one of the deputies escorted Dillman

He says that he requested to meet with the Dillman’s personally so that this issue could be resolved without this type of action, but they didn’t show up for the meeting. The decision was made on this issues in consultation with the other commissioners besides Commissioner Dillman.

tomer at the time didn’t think the theft was legit. The customer, whose identity was not released, can be seen cowering on the floor in a surveillance camera photo, moments after the robber shoved him away. “The customer thought it might have been a joke and not a serious attempt at a robbery,” Lamb said.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT US The High Point Enterprise

The census bureau formed partnerships nationwide with community groups to create awareness about the count and spent $133 million on advertising. Workers have visited homeless shelters and soup kitchens. They have returned to apartment buildings where addresses did not match those in databases. “Many of the workers come from the neighborhoods where they are working for us,” Streeter said. “They know the culture and can speak the languages.” Starting May 1, census workers began interviews with people who had not mailed in their forms. During July, census workers will double check vacant households and those deleted as nonexistent on April 1. Housing units from which the census bureau received blank or incomplete forms will be visited. Until midAugust, households will be called to clarify answers provided on the census questionnaire.

to his vehicle. His behavior was witnessed by at least three commissioners other that Ussery, Richmond County Manager Rick Sago and Clerk to the Board of Commissioner Marian Savage, as well as some people who attended the meeting. During the incident Pam apologized for his actions. The July meeting followed his actions at the June 8 meeting when Mr. Dillman was seen mouthing “Black B” at the only African American Commissioner, Peggy Covington. Since then, Covington has voiced her concerns about Paul’s attendance in future meeting. When the incident was brought to Paul’s attention he neither denied nor apologized for the incident, said Richmond County Board of Commissioner Chairman Kenneth Robinette. Lastly, after a previous meeting this year Paul was quoted saying that he was “going to whup Rob-

and exactly the ones that most need help from government programs,” Bob Hall, Democracy North Carolina director said recently. Poor people, the unemployed and those with language barriers are less likely to be counted, according to the two organizations. “The risk factors are magnified because Guilford is growing so quickly,” Chris Kromm, ISS executive director said in the census report. Census workers have made every effort “to count each person in the right place,” said Mike Streeter, office manager for the Greensboro census office, which employed 1,100 field workers in three counties during the peak survey weeks. “We see the participation rate as a good indication of success,” Streeter said. “Our rate was better than 2000.” Guilford County’s mail participation rate was 74 percent, up from 72 percent in 2000.

Swimmer’s dream nears reality CARY (AP) – Tucker Dupree swims straight into darkness every time he leaps into the pool. And yet, despite the disease that has robbed him of much of his sight, he couldn’t feel any more at home than he does when he’s in the water training to be a Paralympic champion. “This pool stays the same length,� he said. “The walls don’t move.� With each lap and every stroke, Dupree ignores the black hole where his central vision used to be. Armed only with his peripheral sight, he’s driven by the feeling that came with representing his country in the Paralympics two years ago in Beijing and doing it again in London in 2012. He’s competing in next month’s long-course World Championships in the Netherlands. Then, instead of returning to his native North Carolina, he’ll head to Colorado Springs, Colo., as one of a handful of Paralympic swimmers selected to live and train full-time at the U.S. Olympic Training Center. The memory of that slightly overwhelmed 19-year-old who failed to make the podium in Beijing in his first major international competition seems distant. Now Dupree is stronger and more seasoned after winning five medals and setting a pair of world records in his classification at last year’s short-course World Championships

On that day, he noticed he couldn’t focus on the stoplight while driving home from school and made it home by staying in the flow of traffic. Once there, the high school senior pulled the driver’s license out of his wallet and knew he’d never be behind the wheel again. “I think that’s the point where I accepted it,� he said. “I really realized this is real. I can’t fight it anymore. I was kind of pushing it away for a long time. But that’s where I had to say, ’I can’t do anything about it.�’ The illness forces him to rely on parents and friends to get back and forth to training at the

Triangle Aquatic Center or bring his iPhone within an inch or two of his face to read the larger font on messages. Yet while swimming initially offered an escape, the disease also opened another door for Dupree — who swam in high school and went on to compete briefly at Gardner-Webb — when he learned about the Paralympics. “It lit a fire under him in a positive way,� said Kit Raulerson, the head coach of the Raleigh Swimming Association who has worked with Dupree for about four years. “Not only was it not taken away, it actually became something more. It became more than a hobby.

Obviously, it hasn’t scared him because he’s still coming out here.� Dupree has remained focused more on what he can do in the pool than the vision he has lost to Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, a rare disease that can cause the loss of central sight within months. He overcomes that with a steadily positive outlook and a test swim around any unfamiliar pool before training or competitions. “When you’re in here four hours a day, with sight for three years, you get the hang of it,� Dupree said. “A lot of people ask me, ’How do you swim if you’re that blind?’ It’s stroke count. Count your strokes. Every time, I know there’s 33 strokes each length. If I’m getting tired, I’ll add a couple in there.� Dupree first noticed a problem with his left eye when he awoke one morning in October 2006 and couldn’t focus on a sticker on his bedroom closet door.

15 killed in mass panic at Germany’s Love Parade DUISBURG, Germany (AP) – A stampede inside a tunnel crowded with techno music fans left 15 people dead and dozens injured at the famed Love Parade festival in western Germany on Saturday. Other revelers initially kept partying at the event in Duisburg, near Duesseldorf, unaware of the deadly panic that started when police tried to prevent thousands more from entering the already-jammed parade grounds. Authorities were still trying to determine exactly what happened at the event, which drew hundreds of thousands of people, but the situation was “very chaotic,� police commissioner Juergen Kieskemper said. Emergency workers had trouble getting to the victims in the wide, 500- to 600-meterlong tunnel that led to the grounds. The area around the tunnel was a hectic scene, with bodies lying on the ground as rescue workers rushed to aid them. Many of the injured were loaded into Red Cross vans and driven away. Kieskemper said that just before the stampede occurred at about 5 p.m. (1500 GMT, 11 a.m. EDT), police closed off the area

Collapsed people get first aid after a panic on this year’s techno-music festival “Love Parade 2010� in Duisburg, Germany, on Saturday. where the parade was being held because it was already overcrowded. They told revelers over loudspeakers to turn around and walk back in the other direction before the panic broke out, he said. Eyewitness Udo Sandhoefer told n-tv television that even though no

one else was being let in people still streamed into the tunnel, causing “a real mass panic.� “At some point the column (of people) got stuck, probably because everything was closed up front, and we saw that the first people were already lying on the ground,� he said.

Iran says it has 100 vessels for each US warship that might pose a threat, an Iranian newspaper reported Saturday. Such a confrontation in the vital oil lanes of the Persian Gulf would be of major global concern. The warn-

51 bodies found at Mexico dumping ground MEXICO CITY – Investigators said Saturday they have found 51 corpses in two days of digging in a field near a trash dump outside the northern city of Monterrey, as excavations continued at one of the largest clandestine body dumping grounds in Mexico’s bloody drug war. The attorney general of Nuevo Leon state, where Monterrey is located, said the victims included 48 men and 3 women. There so many bodies that authorities were using refrigerated trucks to hold them, Alejandro Garza y Garza told local television.

US aircraft carrier ups pressure on North Korea BUSAN, South Korea – A massive nuclear-powered U.S. supercarrier readied Saturday for maneuvers with ally South Korea in a potent show of force that North Korea has threatened could lead to “sacred war.� The military drills, code-named “Invincible Spirit,� are to run today through Wednesday with about 8,000 U.S. and South Korean troops, 20 ships and submarines and 200 aircraft. North Korea vowed Saturday to respond with “powerful nuclear deterrence.�

Khmer Rouge prison chief awaits verdict PHNOM PENH, Cambodia – A U.N.-backed war crimes tribunal was expected to issue a decision Monday in the trial of the Khmer Rouge’s chief jailer and torturer – the first verdict involving a leader of the genocidal regime that created Cambodia’s killing fields. Kaing Guek Eav, better known as Duch, ran Toul Sleng – the secret detention center reserved for “enemies� of the state.

Putin, in Ukraine for talks with the country’s new Russia-friendly leadership, had his black shirt sleeves rolled up as he motored toward a stage along a dusty road on the three-wheeled bike.

Canadian jet crashes during air show practice LETHBRIDGE, Alberta – A Canadian air force jet crashed and exploded in a ball of flames during a training run for a weekend international air show in Alberta, but the pilot was able to eject from the plummeting plane before it hit the runway.

Bews was practicing Friday in a CF-18 Hornet jet over Lethbridge County Airport for an international air show. The CF-18 he was flying is a model specifically used for air shows.

ISLAMABAD (AP) – U.S. missiles hit a suspected militant hide-out, killing 16 insurgents in a troubled Pakistani tribal region along the Afghan border before dawn Saturday, intelligence officials said. The strike came as the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Adm. Mike Mullen, met with top military officials in Pakistan, a key U.S. ally in the battle against Islamist extremists. The six missiles struck a compound in the Nazai Narai area of South Waziristan. The hide-out was known to be frequented by foreign fighters who were among the dead, two intelligence officials said. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity

because they were not authorized to go on the record, said agents were trying to get more details about the identities and nationalities of the dead. Army spokesmen were not immediately available for comment. U.S. missile strikes regularly pound extremist targets in the northwest. South Waziristan has witnessed several major Pakistani military operations since the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. Washington has relied heavily on its covert missile campaign to take out al-Qaida, Afghan Taliban and their local supporters in North and South Waziristan tribal regions, which are hiding places for insurgents.

Charges dropped for prankster tackler BETHLEHEM, N.Y. – A prosecutor has decided to drop charges against a man who chased and tackled a 14-year-old boy who rang his doorbell in a late-evening prank in eastern New York. Daniel Van Plew of Bethlehem had been arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child after the July 17 incident. A spokeswoman for Albany District Attorney David Soares has declined to explain why he decided not to prosecute. Van Plew says that he is grateful to have the matter behind him.

Dressed all in white, a smiling Rangel told reporters he is counting on the American tradition of being presumed innocent until being proven guilty. He says that all he wants is fairness when the House reveals the charges on Thursday.

McChrystal retires in military ceremony WASHINGTON (AP) – After 34 years in the Army, Gen. Stanley McChrystal left behind legions of admirers and the prospect his reputation as a ferocious fighter would one day eclipse the costly comments that appeared in Rolling Stone. “Over the past decade, arguably no single American has inflicted more fear, more loss of freedom and more loss of life on our country’s most vicious and violent enemies than Stan McChrystal,� U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said during an emotional retirement ceremony Friday. Before a crowd of a few hundred friends, family and colleagues on the Fort McNair parade grounds, McChrystal said his service didn’t end as he hoped. But he regretted few decisions he had made on the battlefield, cherished his life as a soldier and was optimistic about his future.

Historic Hillbrook Estate reflects time of bygone era BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Step inside the newly restored Hillbrook house on 900 Rockford Road in Emerywood, and the visitor feels as if they have stepped through a time warp back to the day it was completed in 1931. Spruce Builders and Freeman Kennett Architects have been working diligently on restoring the house to its original glory days when Comer and Elizabeth Harriss Covington, founders of Harrris-Covington Mills, originally had the home built. The house was designed by Luther Lashmit, who worked for Northup and O’Brien in Winston-Salem as an architect. He is best known for designing the Graylyn Mansion for the RJ Reynolds Tobacco President Bowman Gray as well as Adamsleigh in Sedgefield for J.H. Adams, co-founder of Adams-Millis Corporation. Stephen Pond is the current property owner and funded the restoration project on the house before plac-

Dottie Hewitt of High Point recently was honored with the Catherine Worthingham Fellowship to recognize those whose work has resulted in lasting and significant advances in the science, education and practice of the profession of physical therapy. Hewitt, who lives in the Pennybyrn at Maryfield retirement community, served the American Physical Therapy Association and the physical therapy profession for almost 70 years.

The restored Hillbrook house on Rockford Road is on the market for $3.75 million. ing it on the market, listed at a price of $3.75 million. The Hillbrook Tudorstyle home features a threecar garage, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, three half-baths and seven fireplaces. The detail really comes into play with this house with original light fixtures, hand painted panels, bathrooms with hand painted wallpaper, original furniture from the Covington family and an updated attic-turned spa complete with sauna, steam shower, soaking tub and work-out space. Those are just a few of the features of the unbelievable layout of Hillbrook.

“Every time you come into the house you see something new,” said Katie Redhead, Yost and Little Realtor for the Hillbrook estate. The bathrooms have decadence that one can only dream of. “The sink on the main level of the house near the entry is hand-carved onyx,” said Chris Grady of Spruce Builders. Mirrored walls with crown molding, which have been carefully restored, flank the walls of the master bathroom. Toilets appear to be whicker chairs until one lifts up the seat. In the basement, a thou-

sand-bottle wine cellar can be found, with a beautiful tasting area around the corner. A silver vault has been turned into a cooling unit for more wine – or other beverage of your choice – and a bar has been built to entertain and serve guests. The home comes complete with secret doorways that lead to closets and bathrooms. “The Covington boys said they used to hide in the secret closet, and their friends wouldn’t know where they had gone,” Redhead said. Although its historical

value is a feature, modernity has been woven into the home’s layout. Hillbrook has a security system, computer controlled interior and exterior lighting and heating and air conditioning, built-in house phones, servant buttons and a piped-in music system with headphone jacks found throughout the house. Those interested in viewing or purchasing the home may contact Katie Redhead at 4300219 or e-mail hear, kredhead@yostandlittle.com.

City, airport plan for future BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – When it comes to economic development and industrial recruitment, the Piedmont Triad International Airport should focus on aircraft-related tenants and not companies that could be situated in nearby jurisdictions. That was the advice of city planners to the City Council in a recent briefing session on the airport’s draft master plan update. The plan contemplates the airport building on its role as a center for regional economic development

by bringing in additional cargo and manufacturing facilities, similar to the FedEx hub and the HondaJet production facility there. Council members have questioned whether PTIA is moving more toward cargo, as opposed to passenger, service. “It looks like with the shift in the apparent mission of this airport, I’m not sure many of us are going to be going to this airport to get on a flight,” said Councilman Bill Bencini. The plan projects a 1 percent annual increase in passenger traffic in the coming years, largely due to the slow economy and compe-

tition from airports in Charlotte and Raleigh. Airport officials said they’re continually trying to bring in new carriers to beef up passenger service. “Cargo hubs won’t support an airport like this one,” said PTIA Executive Director Ted Johnson. “The airport belongs to the community and it’s always a question of, what does the community want?” Council members have also questioned the plan’s proposed relocation of N.C. 68 – which is High Point’s primary means of access to PTIA – to allow for a potential third parallel runway.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

City transportation officials said the plan is generally consistent with High Point’s ongoing Airport Connector Feasibility Study. Possible changes proposed in the airport plan will limit the access provided by N.C. 68 and make improvements to Johnson Street and Sandy Ridge Road more important, such as potential improvements to the interchange of Interstate 40 and Sandy Ridge Road. “The road network is critical for us,” said Mayor Becky Smothers.

Kaye Cowher, wife of former coach, dies at 54 RALEIGH (AP) – Kaye Cowher, the wife of exSteelers coach Bill Cowher and a former basketball player at North Carolina State and in the now-defunct Women’s Professional Basketball League, has died of skin cancer. She was 54. Cowher died Friday in her native North Carolina, where the family relocated at her urging during Cowher’s final year as coach in 2006, one season after the Steelers won the Super Bowl. The family had lived since in Raleigh. “Kaye was such a loving and compassionate person and she was the foundation of our family,” Bill Cowher, now an NFL analyst with CBS, said in a statement Saturday. “Kaye was always at my side throughout my career as a player, coach, NFL analyst and, most importantly, as a parent to our three daughters.”

N.C. civil rights leader FUNERAL guilty in embezzlement Sechrest MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – A well-known civil rights leader and former university professor was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in federal prison Thursday after pleading guilty to his role in defrauding the estate of a deceased neighbor. Claude Barnes Jr., 58, was sentenced for his role in a four-person fraud and embezzlement scheme that resulted in the loss of more than $122,000 from the estate of Betty Burton in the fall of 2008. “I am truly sorry for what I have done,” Barnes said at his sentencing before Chief District Judge William J. Beaty Jr. in U.S. District Court. “I can’t explain it. It embarrassed my family and my colleagues.” Barnes is known for his role in the 1969 “Greensboro Rebellion,” which came after officials at Dudley High School failed to recognize his write-in victory for student body president when he was 17. Three weeks of protests and violence included a deployment of the National Guard. According to federal court records, the fraud scheme began on Oct. 10, 2008, two days after Burton, 76, died from cancer. She was long-time friends with Barnes and had assigned him to be the executor of her estate and living trust.

He was to transfer her assets to her children, who live out of state. Instead, federal court documents say Barnes revoked the woman’s living trust and transferred her house and property to his former wife. Barnes then associated with Koretta Ann King, Burton’s in-home nurse, who moved into the deceased woman’s home, to deposit a $93,600 annuity check into a bank account for her estate. Burton had opened the annuity before her death with a Minnesota-based life insurance company. Records state that King conspired with her friend Andrea Barksdale by having her pretend to be the deceased woman on the phone and request the annuity be closed. The duo then forged the woman’s signature on documents requesting the closure, prompting the company to issue the $93,600 check in Burton’s name. Once Barnes deposited the check in the estate account, the funds were distributed among the group. Of that, he spent an estimated $14,000 for personal use to buy a laptop computer, attend the January 2009 presidential inauguration in Washington, and on rental cars, according to court testimony. King, Barksdale and another defendant, Alex Habersham, were found to have opened credit card accounts using Burton’s personal information.

Doctors make house calls I

s there a doctor in the house? The answer is “yes� and there wasn’t just one doctor in the house but several to make their round – “Rapid Rounds.� Rapid Rounds is one of the innovative concepts that High Point Regional Hospital has created as an outreach into our community. Rapid Rounds was designed as a series of small intimate receptions to spend one-on-one time with top physicians of HPRHS. New High Pointer Denise Potter, executive director of development told me about the idea behind Rapid Rounds, “While getting to ABOUT know the TOWN wonderful Mary people in Bogest and around the High Point community, it became more and more evident to me that many individuals who I spoke to were simply ‘uninformed’ about our hospital. I knew we had to do a better job communicating the many exciting developments at HPRHS relating to how we are providing exceptional healthcare, but also about the growing need for support to keep it independent (meaning community owned).� Thus “Rapid Rounds� is a way of connecting with the community through a series of private receptions. Bill and Candy Fenn hosted the first reception in their new (and very lovely) town home. Each reception centers around a special hospital focal point. The first theme centered around the award-winning Fitness Center located in the HPRHS Carolina Regional Heart Center. They in turn have their own theme, “improving the health of our community one person at a time.� The doctors who were in the Fenn house? They were at the “heart� of the reception, doctors of cardiology – makes sense, doesn’t it – heart and health. So Dr. Barry Cheek, Dr. Steven Rohrbeck, Dr. Grady Stone and Dr. Dale Williams joined Bob Forman, director of the Fitness Center at this first “Rapid Rounds.� It was really a very nice gathering and HPRHS President Jeff Miller and his wife Carroll Ann plus board chairman Reid Marsh and his wife Kim were among those who “mingled� as we heard the benefits of exercise. I was particularly impressed to hear about the accolades received by our Fitness Center. Here are just a few: In 2006, The Fitness Center was recognized by the Medical Fitness Association (MFA) as one of the best fitness centers in the country! Today, the Fitness Center at HPRHS remains only one of 13 MFA certified fitness centers in the entire nation and the only one in North Carolina! Certainly their rehabilitation program Heart Strides has contributed to those distinctions.

On a personal note, last month I “weighed in� for their annual Summer Slimdown. This is one time when the winners are losers! Rapid Rounds and the Fenns really put the “hospital� in “hospital�ity! Candy is excited about future Rapid Rounds, “I think they are a great tool for the hospital to use in building relationships with our community. It is an invaluable way for people to learn about all of the wonderful things we have going on at our great hospital.� Thanks for a wonderful and informative evening Bill and Candy! The second Rapid Rounds reception was hosted by Catharine and Dr. Harry Culp. Dr. Harry is more well known by his nickname Frosty (just how did he get that nickname, I wonder). This time the topic was the ER. Once again it was a wonderful intimate gathering with good food and good company but with a better message – HPRHS is our community hospital – owned by our community for the health of our community. In the days of corporate health care takeovers, this is an exquisite rarity, one that we should be proud. Dr. David Fisher told the gathering that many hospitals are closing their emergency centers because of the high cost. Not so with HPRHS, which has the designation of a Level III Trauma Center. Also attending were Dr. Jonathan Rubens and Dr. Linda Taylor, who noted that HPRHS is in the nucleus of the Triad’s highway system so often accident victims will be taken to HPRHS to get stabilized before being airlifted to a specialized center such as Baptist Hospital. HPRHS retains an incredible working relationship with Baptist. “High Point does get a lot of trauma victims,� she added. Just a few days previously a man was brought in with five gunshot wounds. He survived. “Every trauma patient receives that golden hour of care. When our beepers go off for a trauma, no matter where we are, we have to be in the trauma center at that golden hour. We may be in Target or Lowes but when that beeper goes off – so do we,� stated Dr. Taylor. The group listened

intently and relished the welcome offered by Frosty, “I am so passionate about this hospital! We need to support HPRHS. Our hospital can only be as effective as the support given by our community.� In 2009 alone, HPRHS provided almost $20 million in uncompensated and charity health care in addition to an $110 million shortfall in Medicare and Medicaid payments. Ouch! The dedicated advocates of HPRHS truly recognize the continued need to maintain the excellence in health care that is the cornerstone at HPRHS. While Rapid Rounds don’t specifically include “the ask,� the awareness they bring to our hospital is invaluable and hopefully will encourage charitable giving. According to Potter, both the Fenns and the Culps are dedicated champions of HPRHS. “Frosty Culp has not only been a member of the Board of Trustees for several terms, he serves on the HPRHS Foundation Board as Special Projects Chairman. For the past several years, Frosty has voluntarily raised funds and most recently nearly single handedly let a capital campaign raising over $13 million to support critical care services and technology needs. He spends countless volunteer hours making visits, phone calls and speaking encouraging support of HPRHS. Hosting Rapid Rounds is just another example of Frosty’s dedication to HPRHS.� Potter also said of the Fenns, “Candy and Bill have also been longtime supporters of HPRHS. Candy is a real fireball (yes, she is ) of spirit and she and Bill were very generous to open up their new home for our first Rapid Rounds.� On a personal note, Potter added, “Frosty, Catharine, Bill and Candy have all been so kind to my husband Steve and I in making the transition to High Point from Ohio. They have welcomed us into their homes. They have become great friends.� Perhaps that is exactly what the Rapid Rounds are all about – our community becoming great friends with our community health and wellness center – High Point Regional Health System!

Historian stages sleep-ins to save SC slave cabins CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – When Joe McGill spreads his sleeping bag on the floor of a slave cabin, he knows that spending the night there will conjure the specter of slavery. “If I were a firm believer in ghosts and spirits and things of that nature, I don’t think I could do this,� said McGill, a preservationist who is working to preserve buildings that are part of a past that many prefer to forget. One night he heard dogs in the distance – a sound that recalled the search for runaways during slavery. He awoke on Mother’s Day morning in a cabin thinking of children being sold from their mothers. Then he walked to the black graveyard on a plantation near Charleston. “I thought, this is why I’m doing this – for those people in those graves to give them a voice for what they endured,� said McGill, 48. McGill, a program officer with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, spent Saturday night in a cabin at Hobcaw Barony near the coastal community of Georgetown. It was the fifth night this year that he has slept on a cabin floor, trying to attract attention to the need to preserve the structures

and the history they hold. McGill, who is black, is also a reenactor with the 54th Massachusetts, the black Union regiment that fought at Battery Wagner on Charleston Harbor during the Civil War. He said spending the night in the cabins helps him connect with his ancestors. He first slept in a cabin at Boone Hall Plantation near Charleston a decade ago as part of a program for The History Channel entitled “The Unfinished Civil War� which focused on the dispute over the Confederate flag flying over the South Carolina Statehouse. He returned to the cabin project this year, meeting reporters wherever he goes to draw attention to the buildings. He said preserving the cabins requires local efforts and his goal is to encourage people to save the ones that are left. The cabins where McGill has stayed – such as those at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens near Charleston – have already been restored. But many others have been neglected. McGill started in May with a list from the state Historic Preservation Office showing cabins at about 30 sites. He feels his effort is already helping because since he started the sleep-ins,

Perdue names panel to help overhaul troubled highway patrol official, two University of North Carolina professors and the Mecklenburg County district attorney. The panel is tasked with making recommendations on the policies and structure of the patrol and on naming a new commander. Col. Randy Glover is leaving as commander at the end of August after a series of scandals in the department tarnished the Highway Patrol’s reputation.

Joe McGill, a program officer with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, discusses sleeping in slave cabins during an interview in Charleston, S.C. three more cabins have been identified. McGill plans to sleep later this summer in a cabin in Anderson, in upstate South Carolina, and this fall in cabins in Alabama. There once were thousands of slave cabins in South Carolina, mainly near the coast in the state’s largest plantations. Many have not survived because they were modestly constructed of wood or because people didn’t want a connection with a dark chapter of history, he said. “When it comes to slave cabins, you are talking about a part of history that some folks would rather forget,� said McGill. “I come from a chain of thought that to know is better,� he said, adding that just as a plantation house tells a story, so, too, does a modest cabin.

Church blasts gay priests leading ‘double life’ ROME (AP) – The Catholic Church in Italy, still reeling from the clerical sex abuse scandal, lashed out Friday at gay priests who are leading a double life, urging them to come out of the closet and leave the priesthood. The Diocese of Rome issued the strongly worded statement after the conservative Panorama newsweekly said in a cover story and accompanying video that it had interviewed three gay priests in Rome and accompanied them to gay clubs and bars and to sexual encounters with strangers, including one in a church building. One of the priests, a Frenchman identified only as Paul, celebrated Mass in the morning before driving the two escorts he had hired to attend a party the night before to the airport, Panorama said. In a statement Friday, the Rome diocese denounced those priests who were leading a “double life,” said they shouldn’t have been ordained and promised that the church would rigorously pursue anyone who is behaving in a way that wasn’t dignified for a priest. It insisted that the vast majority of Rome’s 1,300 priests were truthful to their vocations and were “models of morality for all.”

Kentucky prison restricts pastoral visits to inmates LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – The state Department of Corrections has upset some clergy by renewing enforcement of a previously ignored policy that limits pastors’ access to inmates. Pastors previously had been alerting the prison ahead of plans to visit multiple inmates. Now, clergy must sign up for one of three slots on an inmate’s visit list and meet

with them one-on-one. The policy change was made after prison officials objected to a pastor meeting with more than one death row inmate during a visit to the Kentucky State Penitentiary in rural Eddyville. Kentucky Corrections Department spokeswoman Lisa Lamb said that Phil Parker, the new warden in Eddyville, is

just invoking rules that have been on the books. “Things were occurring that were totally outside our institutional policy,” Lamb said. To help the transition,

prison officials allowed inmates to change their visiting lists instead of enforcing the usual sixmonth-wait for such changes, Lamb said. “There was no intent at

all to shut anyone out,” Lamb said. Along with the rule on pastoral visits, condemned inmates were required to cut down their visitor lists to three people.

Driver in fatal accident should have been charged I am writing in response to the article from July 20, “Driver in fatal June wreck won’t face charges.” The article states that the woman who pulled out and struck the minivan will not face any charges or receive even a traffic citation. The article also plainly states that the driver “failed to yield the right of way and pulled out from the parking lot, striking the minivan’s passenger side.” What I do not understand is why the driver will receive no traffic citation, at the very least, for failure to yield the right of way. I know her actions were unintentional and that she is suffering tremendously because of what she did, but I feel she should at least be ticketed for failing to yield the right of way because the accident would not have occurred had she yielded.

Our actions, unintentional or otherwise, have consequences. The consequences in this case took the life of a young mother with two babies. If Talia Oxendine of Thomasville had survived the accident, I’m sure she would have received a citation for not wearing a seat belt. I really don’t believe the sign obstructed the other woman’s view, either, because she pulled into the side of the minivan, which had to mean the van was already in her view when she pulled out. If something obstructs my view when I am pulling out, then I ease up until I can see; I don’t just pull out. It is so obvious that failure to yield caused this fatal accident. And not even a traffic citation.

My faith in the legal system is wavering. Rest in peace, sweet Talia. JULIE LLOYD Thomasville

If they only lived in countries with limited or no freedoms, maybe they would fight tooth and nail for a chance at freedom. As a veteran, I took an oath to

defend the U.S. Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. I would rather not do the latter, but I will defend lady liberty at all cost.

City moves to protect public

T

he year 2010 may be recorded as the year High Point City Council really put the pressure on landlords either to do enough to bring and keep properties up to code in a reasonable amount of time or see those structures demolished. We applaud city employees and City Council for spending much of this year concentrating on deteriorating properties on E. Russell Avenue, Park Street, Venable Court, Meredith Street, Ridgeway Place, Fairview Street, Putnam Street, Taylor, Montlieu, Chambers, Roberts Lane, Walnut Street, Johnson Street, Vernon Place and other similar neighborhoods. Recognize that, while some type of correction action has been taken by the city on about 44 properties a month this year, a concentrated effort at cleaning up blighted properties began in earnest in 2006. Last Monday, with its latest cleanup action taking a major step forward, Council approved ordinances to vacate, placard and close 27 units in eight buildings owned by Schwarz Properties LLC of Asheboro in the 500 block of Meredith Street that are riddled with minimum housing code violations. City officials said Schwarz had failed to comply with orders to repair any of the violations flagged at the units, such as inoperable or missing plumbing fixtures, missing water heaters, no smoke detectors, no approved heat source and inoperable windows. The city can relocate the tenants. If you wonder what all the fuss is about (Mayor Becky Smothers calling it “a disgrace,” Councilman John Faircloth saying “it’s a shame this exists in the city” and Councilwoman Bernita Sims warning “the bigger concern now is keeping it boarded”), take seriously a suggestion from Sims – as we did – and drive along Meredith Street. You’ll understand quickly why such action had to be taken. The sooner that complex can be demolished, the better. Unfortunately, state law requires at least one year from the time ordinances are adopted until the city can demolish the properties. While city officials seek more tools to deal with blighted properties more quickly, we urge Schwarz Properties officials to delegate enforcement of notrespassing on the properties to the High Point Police Department. That complex is a disaster waiting to happen. Keep the pressure on!

Well, according to “an anecdotal history of the people and communities that brought about the Internet and the web – last updated March 24, 2010 – ... ‘A Brief History of the Internet’ by Walt Howe is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0, United States License., based on a work at www.walthowe.com,” it has been in operation since 1969, when the U.S. put man on the moon. “The Internet was the result of some visionary thinking by people in the early 1960s who saw great potential value in allowing computers to share information on research and development in scientific and military fields,” the site says. “J.C.R. Licklider of MIT first proposed a global network of computers in 1962, and moved over to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in late 1962 to head the work to develop it. Leonard Kleinrock of MIT and later UCLA developed the theory of packet switching, which was to form the basis of Internet connections. Lawrence Roberts of MIT connected a Massachusetts computer with a California computer in 1965 over dialup telephone lines. It showed the feasibility of wide area networking, but also showed that the telephone line’s circuit switching was inadequate. Kleinrock’s packet switching theory was confirmed. Roberts moved over to DARPA in 1966 and developed his plan for ARPANET. These visionaries and many more left unnamed here are the real founders of the Internet. The Internet, then known as ARPANET, was brought online in 1969 under a contract let by the renamed Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) which initially connected four major computers at universities in the southwestern US (UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, UCSB, and the University of Utah).” Now, I’m not proclaiming the validity of the “Brief History of the Internet” website or the for-more-information-on-Internet-history sites it suggests – (1) “Hobbes’ Internet Timeline. ©1993-2010 by Robert H Zakon. Significant dates in the history of the Internet and (2) A Brief History of the Internet from the Internet Society.” I’m merely providing information from one of some 700 sites that can provide a story of the beginning of the Internet. You decide for yourself whom to believe and whom to ignore. My initial skepticism about information

flowing on what was to become known everywhere as the Internet came in a column in 1985 the weekend after I attended a newspaper conference in Illinois where a phone company (I believe it was AT&T) strategist told those assembled about the OPINION information age that was coming and forecasting – rather well from Tom what I recall – how broad and Blount deep it would be and how much ■■■ information would be at our fingertips or the click of a mouse or some other device. Now to the present. As you now know, a fracas last week “started when Shirley Sherrod was forced to resign as Georgia’s director of rural development Monday after a conservative blogger posted a video of her telling a crowd at a local NAACP meeting about her initial reluctance 24 years ago to help a poor white farmer seeking government assistance,” according to The Associated Press. The AP also wrote that “conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart said he had posted a portion of Sherrod’s remarks in an effort to illustrate that racism exists in the NAACP, an argument he was using to counter allegations by the civil rights organization of racism in the tea party movement. ... Breitbart, who has not responded to requests for comment from AP, offered a narrow correction on his website, BigGovernment.com. He acknowledged that Sherrod’s remarks about hesitating to help the white farmer referenced something that took place before she worked for the government. The site had previously said her comments were about her work as a USDA employee. Sherrod has said she resigned under White House pressure, but Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has said repeatedly the decision was his.” On Thursday, the AP wrote that Sherrod got a big “I’m sorry” from a contrite President Barack Obama, who said Vilsack “jumped the gun” when he decided to dismiss employee Sherrod, personally appealed to the ousted worker to come back. Proving that “journalists” can be just as guilty of jumping the gun as politicians, Bill O’Reilly also apologized Thursday for calling for Sherrod’s ouster after falling for the information in the BigGovernment.com blog and not waiting for further development of the “story.” Perhaps now you will be considerably more skeptical when you read something online. Frankly, I doubt it.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, JULY 25, 2010 www.hpe.com

Hey, put It’s time for Perdue to stop this Leake a sock T in it L

ast year, an incident around Boston involving a black man who was arrested for breaking into his own house quickly picked up national press coverage and our president blurted out that the white policeman who made the arrest acted stupidly, before knowledge of the details. A couple of weeks ago, an angry mob tore though the city of Oakland, Calif., smashing windows and looting businesses in their path. The Obama administration’s Justice Department immediately launched an investigation ... into a recent racially charged jury trial there whose verdict apparently upset the rioters to a point where they felt compelled to steal other people’s property. After two decades of waiting in vain for the federal government to enforce our immigration laws and protect its citizens, the state of Arizona recently passed legislation authorizing its own law enforcement agencies to do the job. Although the Arizona law merely mimicked the current federal law, our president labeled it as racist, admittedly before even reading the document. This month, it was revealed that a group calling itself the New Black Panthers (as opposed to the organization of murdering thugs known simply as the Black Panthers) was indicted after the 2008 elections for voter intimidaOPINION tion because some of their members Steve stood outside of Bryant voting places while ■■■ holding clubs and threatening would-be voters with taunts about what would happen to white people after Obama is elected. Even though the episode was caught on film and was a slam dunk prosecution, the Obama Justice Department dismissed the charges and purportedly instructed the staff not to prosecute any racial intimidation charges involving black citizens. A Tea Party billboard in Iowa was unveiled recently portraying Adolf Hitler, Comrade Lenin and Obama as socialists ... and was immediately pronounced as racist. In fact, the whole Tea Party movement has been declared as a racist organization although any evidence supporting that claim has failed to materialize, even with a $100,000 reward being offered to produce film of such activity. Finally, as I write this, word is coming in about a black USDA administrator who was fired for making racist remarks in public when, in fact, she was making a speech promoting racial reconciliation. So impetuous was the Obama administration that they made the woman pull her car to the side of the road and send in her resignation over the phone. Of course, I didn’t support Obama in the last election. But I suspect that my feelings after his election were similar to others on the losing side in that I took consolation in believing that at least we could start to put aside our racial accusations in this country and be done with the particularly disgusting spectacle of men professing to represent the Prince of Peace while they spew hate and envy like pus from a festering sore. But it seems to be getting worse. I suppose one could arguably claim that many of our current problems are not completely of Obama’s making, but not this one. Either Obama has been crying “wolf” to distract the public from his poor job performance results, or he really is pathetically insecure in his own skin. If it’s the former, then it is what it is. But if it’s some inferiority complex banging around between those ears of his, then maybe he should start dealing with the thickness of his skin rather than the color.

he revelation that State Board of Elections Chairman Larry Leake interfered with the investigation into 2008 gubernatorial campaign flights signals that Leake’s effectiveness to that board and the state has ended and he must be replaced. The State Board of Elections is, to quote its website, “the only statutory bipartisan, quasi-judicial supervisory board in North Carolina state government.” The governor appoints the five members, three from the governor’s political party and two from the opposition party, also naming the chair. This organization is charged with gathering, reviewing and reporting financial disclosure statements from candidates and administering the elections process in our state. The citizens of North Carolina depend on the State Board of Elections to be evenhanded, open and honest in elections matters. Over the years, Executive Director

Gary Bartlett and the staff have earned a reputation for clean handling of election issues and the state board MY SPIN itself has been exemplary in Tom their willingCampbell ness to fairly ■■■ examine and recommend reprimands, penalties or further legal action for campaigns or donors who have violated state campaign laws. Leake has held his chairman’s post since 1993 and has performed admirably, most especially in the Jim Black and Mike Easley investigations and hearings. But as valuable as that service has been, Leake crossed the line by interfering in the probe of campaign flights. Leake insisted on being present during interviews, something that must have been intimidating both to the investigator and the

person being interviewed. He instructed the investigator to halt the probe, even though there were three further interviews desired. One was with Gov. Perdue’s former campaign manager, who had himself conducted an investigation into the flights. The investigator’s final report was then edited by “supervisors,” deleting portions that noted Leake’s interference as well as notations relating to campaign flights by other gubernatorial candidates. It is hard to believe the chairman did not know about or even initiate the deletion of these observations in the published report. The fact that the investigator’s husband worked for the state Republican Party confuses the issue but also raises the assertion that partisan politics may play a greater role in this agency than is desired. Leake did not deny the deputy director’s allegations of interference, responding only that he was trying to ex-

pedite the report, a response that doesn’t pass the smell test. For all appearances, Leake seems to be trying to protect Perdue while making other candidates appear less than honorable. Whether true or not, Perdue cannot afford the potential scandal and our State Board of Elections cannot afford to be tainted by accusations of interference and partisan politics. Voters deserve to know that our elections process is clean, fairly administered and violations are aggressively and honestly investigated. Nothing less is acceptable. Any hint of interference or partisanship must be quickly addressed and resolved if we are to have confidence in our election process. Perdue must stop the Leake.

God and immigration Conservative Christian perspective guides thoughts on aliens among us BY JONATHAN MOORE

M

ost of those involved in the immigration debate agree that immigration policy needs to be reformed. How to reform the system exactly is a matter of considerably greater disagreement. Immigration is a complex issue affected by numerous factors like welfare policy and public education. Thus, clear solutions to the conundrum are difficult to arrive at. What we can get at, however, is a broad set of principles (which some Christian conservatives have a difficult time grasping) that policy makers should consider in any reform effort to construct a rational, God-honoring immigration law. 1) God created man in his own image, and as such, human beings need to be treated in a compassionate, loving manner. As God’s image bearers, humanity has intrinsic, literally God-like value, and should be cherished. The Bible has much to say about how to treat God’s image bearers, even when they are foreigners. For instance, in Leviticus 19:33-34, the children of Israel are taught to love the alien in their midst as they would one of their own: “When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your nativeborn. Love him as yourself.” In short, a moral and just immigration policy should reflect God’s attitude towards immigrants. To paraphrase Kepler, man is at his best when he “thinks God’s thoughts after him.” One of the most loving ways to decrease global poverty is to create new opportunities for people to work themselves out of poverty and provide for their families. Few foreigners have opportunities to care for their families in their home country like they would in the United States. Allowing them to come to here to better their lives is a Christ-like option. 2) The more people, the better. Conservatives hold this to be true in matters such as abortion, eugenics and forced sterilization. More people produce more goods and services for society.

Even those deemed a “drain” on society should be valued. Yet on immigration, many conservatives find themselves on the same side of the issue as people who have values diametrically opposed to their own; population-control advocates. In a puzzling twist, conservatives have recently found themselves using the same rhetoric as zero-population-growth advocates, arguing that allowing more people to enter this country is a net loss for society due to increased unemployment, increased consumption of social services, etc. They would never accept the same arguments as justification for ending the lives of (or deporting) disabled children, the elderly or other individuals who consume more societal resources than they contribute. 3) Government regulation and control of any commodity through quotas or price control is always bad. This is something most conservatives will agree on. They understand that government intervention in markets creates distortions, as seen by their stringent opposition to the stimulus package. The American immigration system is a quagmire of quotas and controls that does nothing to reflect supply and demand. Not surprisingly, a thriving black market of illegal immigrants, who do not have the time or money to navigate America’s prohibitively complex immigration system, has arisen to satisfy American employers’ and consumers’ need for inexpensive labor. Most illegal immigrants are not breaking the law because they enjoy breaking

the law. Most come here because they want to give themselves and their families a better life, free from oppressive government regulation. 4) Enforcing existing immigration laws is both futile and destructive. In 2009, the Department of Homeland Security estimated that there were 10.8 million illegal immigrants in America. Deporting all or most of the illegal population is, frankly, impossible. It would be tantamount to rounding up the state of Michigan and deporting every one of its citizens. Further, the Cato Institute estimated that if border enforcement were increased enough to stop the flow of immigrants, American economic output would be reduced by $80 billion annually for 10 years. Coupled with the deportation of illegal immigrants already here, that number could double. The Center for American Progress estimates that the administrative expenses of all these deportations would be roughly $200 billion over five years. Laws should be enforced, but destructive laws should be repealed and replaced with new laws. In this case, it seems that having an immigration system based on arbitrary quotas is a bad idea both morally and economically. So, what should we do? It is clear that neither amnesty alone nor increased enforcement are wise options to solve the immigration problem. Allowing illegal immigrants to stay without creating a path to entrance for new immigrants will only result in the same problems we face now. And stepped-up enforcement of bad laws could damage American prosperity. A middle way between these two must be found. By following the principles and understanding the facts above, America can have a sensible, God-honoring and prosperity-promoting immigration policy.

State’s new DNA law leaves questions on use The Herald-Sun, Durham, July 17 e still find ourselves peering around the corner, trying to foresee the dangers in a brave new world of mandatory DNA collection. Our Aldous Huxley-inspired fears don’t outweigh the potential benefits of gathering DNA from people who are charged with violent crimes like rape, murder or armed robbery. (We have reserva-

W

tions about other charges that will trigger DNA collection, such as cyber-stalking and arson.) The bill that Gov. Beverly Perdue signed on July 15 mandates the cheek swabs. The final version of the bill added some key provisions, including a clarification that DNA records and samples are not public records, and noted that suspects who are arrested without warrants will not be swabbed until after a probable cause hear-

ing. Beginning in 2012, it also requires the automatic destruction of samples and computer records after a case is dismissed or a defendant is exonerated. There is one more concern that legislators should address in 2011. Last week, California investigators charged Lonnie David Franklin, alleging that he is the “Grim Sleeper” serial killer who killed 11 women and one man over 25 years. The arrest

came after Franklin’s son was arrested on a weapons charge. The son’s sample was so close to DNA left at the Grim Sleeper crime scenes that analysts determined that the killer must be his male relative – either a father, a son or a brother. The bill that established North Carolina’s DNA database does not address this kind of use. It should. Online: http://www.heraldsun.com

Artist’s famous whirligigs to be moved to new home LUCAMA (AP) – When a breeze brushes through the field just below Vollis Simpson’s machine shop, you can hear the sounds of metal clanging against metal and of Ferris wheel-like contraptions turning. But the cacophony of sound from the 29 whirligigs that Simpson built over a period of 10 years has ebbed: The buggy rider’s whip no longer moves, the horse’s legs don’t trot and his ears don’t flap. The two men sawing on another whirligig don’t move back and forth. The guitar player no longer strums and has slowed the pat of his foot. Tree limbs grow through a Ferris wheel lined inside with hundreds of stainless steel milkshake cups that still shimmer in the sun despite their decades of exposure. The works have fallen victim to the 91-yearold’s health problems that have left him unable to climb as high as 50 feet to keep the mechanisms greased, and the red, white and blue paint that dominates his work shiny and new. “I’m not able to look after it now,� Simpson said on a hot summer morning, sitting in a lawn chair in the shade of the field about 50 miles east of Raleigh. “I can’t climb. If I could climb, I wouldn’t

let it go. My knees are wore out.� Simpson is letting go of the 29 masterpiece whirligigs that have stood in this field in eastern North Carolina since the early 1980s. The city of Wilson, with the help of the North Carolina Arts Council, hopes to buy, move and conserve the whirligigs, relocating them to a 2-acre park in downtown Wilson by November 2012. Organizers say they’re already receiving private pledges, and the arts council has provided a $10,000 grant. The whirligigs are the product of metal, reflectors and ball bearings tossed with imagination. Some resemble windmills or Ferris wheels; one has a canopy and looks like a really groovy ride at a county fair. They sit atop poles that soar 30 feet to 50 feet in the air, with propellers that – in their heyday – kept all the parts spinning and moving even in the slightest breeze. They’ve been sold to buyers as disparate as a shopping center in Albuquerque, the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore and the American Folk Art Museum in New York City. A North Carolina dentist placed one outside a window so children could watch the

parts twirl and dance while he cleaned teeth and filled cavities. The whirligigs – some weighing as much as 3 tons with hundreds of moving parts – fall into the category of folk art or outsider art, works created by someone without a formal background in art. “He is one of the most truly creative and most visionary artists that we have in the whole country,� says Rebecca Hoffberger, founder and director of the American Visionary Art Museum. “What I love best is that he’s always done what pleases him. That faithfulness to that pursuit has had huge benefits for school children and art cognoscenti alike.� The job of recording the details of Simpson’s whirligigs – where he got the parts, how they operate, what color they’re supposed to be — has fallen to folklorist Jefferson Currie. The artist’s stories usually involve the notso-bright visitors or his recent health problems – heart surgery one year, followed by a welding blaze that burned Simpson and required surgery. Simpson has a hard time saying how he came up with the idea for whirligigs.

Concerns are being raised about the validity of research done by a Duke University cancer scientist who recently was placed on leave while the school investigates whether he falsely claimed to be a Rhodes scholar. The editor of a British journal, Lancet Oncology, issued an “expression of concern� Friday, citing a December 2007 study it published from Dr. Anil Potti and others. The study described gene patterns that might help predict a breast cancer patient’s response to chemotherapy. The journal said two of Potti’s co-authors had contacted them this week on behalf of 15 European scientists involved in the study with “grave concerns about the validity of their report.� Statisticians at the University of Texas’ M.D. Anderson Cancer Center had questioned methods used in the study, the coauthors wrote.

Stressed out Majority of EU banks pass ‘stress tests’

AP

A woman uses an ATM as a man walks outside the Agricultural bank of Greece, also known as ATEBank, in central Athens on Friday. ATEbank was one of seven of 91 European banks that failed stress tests.

LONDON (AP) — All but 7 of 91 European banks passed the much-anticipated “stress tests” aimed at showing Europe’s banking system is sound enough to weather the continent’s debt crisis — an outcome that officials hoped would forestall further market turmoil. It had been thought that some banks needed to fail for the exercise to be accepted as credible, and some analysts still argued that the results showed the tests weren’t rigorous enough — the euro was trading flat on the day after the release of the results at just below $1.29. If stock and bond markets take the view that

the tests were not tough enough when European trading resumes Monday, then the exercise could make matters worse — and further expose the EU to charges that it has failed to rise to the debt crisis within its borders. “The stress tests do not seem that stressful and it is looking more like a political whitewash rather than a genuine attempt to reassure financial markets that eurozone banks have balance sheets that could really withstand sovereign risk shocks,” said Neil MacKinnon, global macro strategist at VTB Capital. “They are delaying the day of reckoning,” said MacKinnon. Policymakers in Europe hope the results will reassure markets worried about hidden bank losses from the crisis. They were quick to laud the results as a resounding vote of

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

---confidence in Europe’s banking system. The European Union said the results “confirm the overall resilience” of the continent’s banking system. Christine Lagarde, France’s finance minister, said the tests were “tough” and “very comprehensive and as a result I would suggest that those results should be very credible and should raise the confidence in European banks.” The Committee of European Banking Supervisors, the little-known regulator charged with conducting the stress tests, said the seven banks would see their capital positions fall too low for them to weather a steep fall in the price of government bonds many of them hold, a worst-case scenario dubbed “sovereign shock” still stopped short of an outright debt default by an EU government.

One man’s scrap is another’s treasure Auto salvage business has been a player in recycling industry for more than 50 years BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Keith Parsley cherishes working for nearly 20 years at a local business that combines success in free enterprise with benefits to the environment. The 45-year-old manager of High Point Auto Salvage helps operate a business that finds used parts for automobiles while keeping scraps from ending up in landfills. High Point Auto Salvage has thrived for more than 50 years by finding parts ranging from hubcaps and lug nuts to transmissions and engine blocks. Virtually any auto scrap that arrives at High Point Auto Salvage ends up sold to a customer for use in a vehicle or recycled into metal or plastic for another purpose. Businesses such as High Point Auto Salvage were recycling scrap or preventing auto parts from being dumped in landfills long before the advent of Earth Day or when recycling became trendy. “Our philosophy is we recycle the best and crush the rest,” Parsley said from his small office at the business on English Road in west High Point near the Davidson County line. The backside of the business stretches over 5 acres. The fence-lined back lot is covered in cars or segments of vehicles that can be stripped as parts orders come in from customers. “We basically buy wrecked and abandoned vehicles at auto auctions, from towing companies and from individuals,” Parsley said.

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Keith Parsley talks on cell phone while resting against one of the cars in the salvage yard at High Point Auto salvage. The interior storage area of High Point Auto Salvage features rows of metal racks packed with auto parts carefully inventoried so that they can be retrieved at the request of a customer. “We sell all across the country,” Parsley said. High Point Auto Salvage specializes in vehicles manufactured since 1985, though the company will search for parts on older vehicles. Parsley said the business has secured a reputation by finding and stocking a cross-section of parts. “We’ve got a national locator system. We can locate on a 95 percent basis anything all over the country,” he said. To Parsley, the most

dramatic change in the salvage trade doesn’t involve the evolving nature of vehicles, but the commercial development of the computer. When Parsley started

with High Point Auto Salvage nearly 20 years ago, tracking parts from vehicles was done manually using paperwork and catalogs. “You would have a picture of a car and all the parts that you wrote down – a left front door, a right front door. The computer is the best thing that ever happened to this industry. It used to be, every night when we closed, I took all the sales receipts that day and we’d have to ‘X’ out the stock number from that vehicle on the books. This computer does it automatically,” he said. The High Point native said the salvage business provides him two senses of satisfaction – commercial and ecological.

Parsley has a litany of stories from people who have thanked him and the business for going out of the way to locate the smallest or most obscure part. “I’ve got people who have sent me thank-you cards for helping them – people we’ve gotten $15 worth of parts that no one else would help them with,” he said. The other satisfaction derives from preventing parts from polluting the environment through resale or recycling. “There’s very little on a vehicle now that we don’t recycle – very, very little,” Parsley said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

MUMBAI, India (AP) – It looks like an iPad, only it’s onefourteenth the cost: India has unveiled the prototype of a $35 basic touchscreen tablet aimed at students, which it hopes to bring into production by 2011. If the government can find a manufacturer, the Linux operating system-based computer would be the latest in a string of “world’s cheapest” innovations to hit the market out of India, which is home to the 100,000 rupee ($2,127) compact Nano car, the 749 rupees ($16) water purifier and the $2,000 openheart surgery. The tablet can be used for functions like word processing, web browsing and video-conferencing. It has a solar power option too – important for India’s energy-starved hinterlands – though that add-on costs extra. “This is our answer to MIT’s $100 computer,” human resource development minister Kapil Sibal told the Economic Times when he unveiled the device Thursday.

• Allegiant Air, a subsidiary of Allegiant Travel Co. which has flights at Piedmont Triad International Airport, was named the top-performing airline in the low-cost/niche category by Aviation Week. The annual award recognizes the company’s ability to capitalize on opportunities and thrive despite the global economic crisis. In addition to its high financial health score, Allegiant was selected because of its ability to steadily increase its net profit and for capitalizing on ancillary revenue. • NewBridge Bancorp, parent of NewBridge Bank, last week reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30. For the second quarter, net income totaled $854,000. After dividends and accretion on preferred stock, the company reported a return to positive net income available to common shareholders of $124,000, or 1 cent per diluted share. The results compared to a net loss of $5.9 million in the second quarter a year ago. After dividends and accretion on preferred stock in the

prior year’s second quarter, the net loss available to common shareholders was $6.6 million or minus 42 cents per diluted share. For the six months, net income totaled $1,227,000 and the net loss available to common shareholders was $233,000, or 1 cent per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.5 million, and a loss of $10.9 million available to common shareholders, or 70 cents per diluted share, in the first six months of 2009. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, were negatively impacted by an industrywide Federal Deposit Insurace Corp. special assessment and certain other one-time expenses, which in total resulted in $1.5 million pre-tax, equal to 5 cents after tax per diluted common share.

planes of around $7 billion at sister show Le Bourget, near Paris, last year. The International Air Transport Association recently forecast that the

global industry would make a small profit of $2.5 billion this year, after a huge loss of $9.4 billion in 2009 – a quick improvement from its predictions

late last year of more losses this year. “The number of orders shows that the economic recovery is on its way,� said Commercial

Aviation Consulting analyst Max Sukkhasantikul. More than 1,000 exhibitors from 38 countries were at Farnborough.

Wal-Mart plan raises privacy concerns NEW YORK (AP) – Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is putting electronic identification tags on men’s clothing like jeans starting Aug. 1 as the world’s largest retailer tries to gain more control of its inventory. But the move is raising eyebrows among privacy experts. The individual garments, which also includes underwear and socks, will have removable smart tags that can be read from a distance by WalMart workers with scanners. In seconds, the worker will be able to know what sizes are missing and will also be able tell what it has on hand in the stock room. The tags work by reflecting a weak radio signal to identify the product. They have long spurred privacy fears as well as visions of stores being able to scan an entire shopping cart of items at one time. Wal-Mart’s goal is to eventually expand the tags to other types of mer-

chandise but company officials say it’s too early to give estimates on how long that will take. “There are so many significant benefits in knowing how to better manage inventory and better serve customers,� said Lorenzo Lopez, a Wal-Mart spokesman. “This will enhance the shopping experience and help us grow our business.� Before the rollout, Wal-Mart and other stores were using the tags, called radio frequency identification tags, only to track pallets or cases of merchandise in their warehouses. But now the tags are jumping onto individual items, a move that some privacy experts describe as frightening. Wal-Mart, which generated annual revenue of a little more than $400 billion in its latest fiscal year and operates almost 4,000 stores, has huge influence with suppliers. That makes

other merchants tend to follow its lead. “This is a first piece of a very large and very frightening tracking system,� said Katherine Albrecht, director of a group called Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering. Albrecht worries that Wal-Mart and others would be able to track movements of customers who in some border states like Michigan and Washington are carrying new driver’s licenses that contain RFID tags to make it easier for them to cross borders. Albrecht fears that retailers could scan data from such licenses and their purchases and combine that data with other personal information. Wal-Mart officials said they are aware of privacy concerns but insist they are taking a “thoughtful and methodical approach.�

Pay czar chose not to reclaim $1.6 billion in bank bonuses WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration’s pay czar said Friday that he did not try to recoup $1.6 billion in lavish compensation to top executives at bailedout banks because he thought shaming the banks was punishment enough. Kenneth Feinberg said 17 banks receiving taxpayer money from the $700 billion financial bailout made “illadvised� payments to their executives. But he stopped short of calling

them “contrary to the public interest� – language that would have signaled a fight to get the money back. Feinberg couldn’t force the banks to repay the money. But the law instructed him to negotiate with banks to return money if he determined that allowing them to keep it was not in the public interest. He said such a fight could have exposed banks to lawsuits from shareholders trying to recapture the execu-

tives’ money. Feinberg said his public shaming of the 17 banks was sufficient. “I’m not suggesting we should blink, or turn the other cheek,� Feinberg said in an interview with The Associated Press. “These 17 companies were singled out for obviously bad behavior. The question is, at what point are you piling on and going beyond what is warranted?� By avoiding using the strongest language in

his report, he could criticize the banks without endangering the weak economic recovery, Feinberg said. “Certain aspects of the financial system still confront fragility,� he said in an interview. “I’m not looking to compound that fragility beyond what I thought was necessary.� Among the companies he let go are two whose bailouts will cost taxpayers billions: American International Group Inc. and CIT Group Inc.

Managing an irresponsible co-worker BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

The irresponsible coworker invades every workplace, because many people aren’t accountable. You can’t let one affect your productivity and effectiveness, especially when job security can be tenuous. Although not doing one’s job is a clear sign of irresponsibility, some other behaviors are equally irresponsible. Recognizing them will allow you to take constructive action.

GLOBAL VIEW Joseph Williams, consultant in Commonsense Responsibility at Commonsense Management Strategies in Henderson, Nev., spent years in Fortune 500 companies, where he concluded “the most critical factor in running a corporation is human behavior.” The data he collected over a seven-year period at an airline showed him that people weren’t on time, decisions made by CEOs put companies at risk and rules weren’t applied across the board. Williams characterizes irresponsible people as: • dishonest with and disrespectful toward self and others; • uncompassionate;

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Consultant Joseph Williams brings real-world experience observing irresponsibility in the workplace. He’s been discussing the topic in the media through his firm, Commonsense Management Strategies, in Henderson, Nev. • self-centered; and • unaccountable. Karen Valencic, teambuilding consultant and private coach at Spiral Impact in Indianapolis, Ind., also finds irresponsibility in “anything disruptive, taking focus away from the purpose of being there,” such as telephone conversations and surfing the Web. Irresponsible behavior becomes uncivil, Williams comments, when it escalates to name-calling, verbal abuse and physical confrontation.

San Francisco-based Diana Gregory is a senior human resource specialist at Administaff Inc., an HR service-provider headquartered in Kingwood, Tex. She says “in many cases, the behavior results from a simple accident or misunderstanding, but regardless of the intent, this type of behavior can negatively affect morale and productivity.” She further states the resulting stress can impact profitability.

ACTION If a co-worker is irre-

sponsible or uncivil, you may want to take action, particularly if you don’t want to do two jobs, but step back for a second. Valencic advises asking yourself “if your co-worker understands the rules of your workplace and has been trained properly. Ask yourself if you’re irresponsible in any way and how you might give him some feedback. Ask also if you’re trying to be right and make him wrong.” Gregory advocates documenting details of incidents in case the situation

requires future action. Then, discuss what you’re planning to do with someone you trust. When you do take action, Williams mentions that you need calmness, courage and “a very positive approach.” Valencic indicates that being centered will help you gain perspective, speak truthfully and keep the person from feeling attacked even if your co-worker is hurt a little. Gregory says that tactics like these will help keep the situation from escalating.

“Share your feeling,” Williams suggests, by explaining “how it makes you feel when you see the person do (what he does).” Valencic says to “communicate directly and stay as close to the issue as you can.” She doesn’t recommend going to a supervisor or HR unless you have no other alternatives. “You might say, ‘I’m overwhelmed and I need you to do this work,’ Valencic says. “Set boundaries, being clear about your responsibility, what you’re accountable for and what you’re going to hold your co-worker accountable for. Create a set of value questions. ‘Can I trust you? Does this serve our mission? Are we having fun?’ That becomes a basis to holding people accountable.” She further observes this basis contributes to creating a culture of accountability, which isn’t amenable to low-performers, who tend to walk away. “It serves no one to keep them where they are,” she concludes. “Sometimes it’s a mismatch – the wrong job, wrong profession, wrong place.” DR.

Robbins enjoys rookie thrill BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Mike Robbins enjoyed the biggest thrill as a rookie in drag boat racing’s featured class on Saturday. Robbins, from Youngsville and making just his 11th pass in a Top fuel Hydro boat, outran points leader John Haas in their only run to become the top qualifier for today’s eliminations at the Thunder at Oak Hollow Boat Drags. They crossed the finish line almost equal in their only pass of the day, with Robbins making the 1,000-foot run in 3.870 seconds in Liquid Quicker to edge the 3.906 of Haas’ Speed Sport Special. Both had a speed of 228.798 at the finish line. “It’s big because he’s No. 1,” said Robbins, who raced in the second-tier Top Alcohol Hydro class from 1997 until last year. “We raced against each other in Hydro. Any time I can outrun him, I want to do it. If I can get a chance to outrun him in the parking lot, I want to do it. “We’re going to run each other hard whether it is in qualifying or in the final round.” Crossing the finish line, Robbins wasn’t sure he edged Haas. “I never saw him,” said Robbins, who got interested in water sports growing up on Kerr Lake and as a child attended the first boat drags in High Point with his father. “We were so close. I didn’t know that I had won until they came on the radio and said I had outrun him a little bit.” Haas said that he was pleased with the run but had a bit of engine trouble.

Andy Reynolds looks to blaze successful path in pinch-hitting role. 4D Complete qualifying results from Saturday’s action at Oak Hollow. 6D “We had fuel load up in one of the cylinders so it didn’t fire, so it hurt our performance a little bit,” Haas said. “But, the boat ran nice and went down the track. But, I

think we’ll run a little better than that tomorrow, We should be down in the (3.70s).” Glen Wilson in Toxic Rocket wound up third at 4.076 seconds

with a speed of 209.147 miles an hour. Jarrett Silvey, who broke engine belts on both of his runs, wound up fourth at 4.342 (173.050). Belmont native Andy Reynolds led the way in the No. 2 class. Top Alcohol Hydro, with a run of 4/686 seconds (197.057). Reynolds is subbing for a racer who was injured last week at Augusta, Ga. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Montoya takes Brickyard 400 pole INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Juan Pablo Montoya is in a familiar spot at Indianapolis Motor Speedway – out front. A year after a late speeding penalty denied him a victory at the Brickyard, he’s hoping it sticks this time. Montoya has steadfastly denied any lingering bitterness from last year’s near-miss, or any notion that the Brickyard owes him one. Instead, the pole-sitter for Sunday’s race is treating this visit as an entirely new opportunity. “It’s given me a lot, so I don’t complain,” said Montoya, who won the Indianapolis 500 for team owner Chip Ganassi in 2000. So far this weekend, he’s had little to gripe about. His No. 42 Chevrolet was the

fastest of 13 cars at an April tire test here, and Montoya paced both of Friday’s practice sessions. Then he turned a lap at 182.278 mph on Montoya Saturday morning to take the top starting spot at the Brickyard. Four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson, who won his third Brickyard last season in part because of Montoya’s gaffe, qualified second with a lap at 182.142. Hendrick Motorsports teammate Mark Martin qualified third and was followed by Jamie McMurray, Montoya’s teammate, Ryan Newman and Clint Bowyer, as Chevrolets took the top six qualifying spots.

Inside...

----

Johnson aims for Indy history. 5D Greg Biffle was the highest qualifying Ford at sixth, Brad Keselowski was the best Dodge at 11th and Martin Truex Jr. led the Toyota effort at 12th. Former Formula One champion Jacques Villeneuve, like Montoya also an Indianapolis 500 winner, qualified for his first Sprint Cup race since 2007 and will start last in the 43-car field. Four drivers failed to make the race: David Gilliland, Casey Mears – nephew of four-time Indy 500 winner Rick Mears – David Stremme and J.J. Yeley.

Attention will likely be on Montoya, who has already had a busy week. His wife, Connie, on Monday gave birth to the couple’s third child, a daughter named Manuela, and Thursday was a trip to the emergency room for middle child Paulina. “Her brother practiced his golf swing on her head,” Montoya said with raised eyebrows. So getting on track provided some relief from the madness, even though this weekend comes with raised expectations. He led 116 laps last year in a bid to become the only driver to win both the IndyCar and NASCAR races at the Brickyard, only to be flagged for speeding on the final pit stop to drop to an 11th-place finish.

o paraphrase the legendary Speed Racer, time flies when you’re driving fast. I confess. I just made that up. But in the case of the Brickyard 400, time really has zipped by. It’s hard to believe the first Brickyard 400 was contested 16 years ago. Rick Mast won the pole for that historic race. Mast also led the first lap in NASCAR’s first Cup event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Home-state product Jeff Gordon eventually

captured the inaugural Brickyard 400 – one of his event-record four triumphs. Gordon also holds Brickyard records for most poles (three), top fives (nine), top 10s (13) and laps led (440). The 17th edition of the Brickyard 400 is on tap today. Expect Gordon to compete for a fifth victory at Indy. A look back at previous winners shows the crème de la crème truly rises to the top at legendary Indy. Jimmie Johnson owns three Brickyard 400 wins, while Dale Jarrett and

Tony Stewart each have prevailed twice. The other Brickyard 400 champs were Dale Earnhardt, Ricky Rudd, Bobby Labonte, Bill Elliott and Kevin Harvick. Pretty impressive company. One other interesting piece of Brickyard 400 trivia: Of the previous 16 winners, eight went on to take the Cup Series championship. We’ll see if that becomes nine for 17 when the dust settles at Homestead in November.

Kansas City Royals center fielder Rick Ankiel makes a diving catch on a ball hit by the New York Yankees’ Nick Swisher in the eighth inning of Saturday’s game at Yankee Stadium in New York. The Royals won 7-4.

Davies keeps A-Rod in the park, stuck on 599 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – The last thing that Kyle Davies wanted to do was allow another milestone home run to Alex Rodriguez. That’s why the Kansas City pitcher could smile while standing in front of his locker on Saturday, despite giving up two homers to Mark Teixeira and another to Jorge Posada. After all, he kept Rodriguez in the park and pitched the Royals to a 7-4 win over the New York Yankees. “It’s almost like I learned from before,” said Davies, who gave up A-Rod’s 500th home run and wasn’t about to let him hit No. 600. “I just tried to make the best pitches I could.” Davies (5-6) also kept the rest of the hot-hitting Yankees in check on a sweltering day in the Bronx. He survived 51⁄3 innings to win for the first time since May 28, giving Kansas City just its sixth win at Yankee Stadium in 33 tries. “He really pitched well the first few innings and was cruising, then he gave up the home runs,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He was really fighting it from there.” The Kansas City bullpen picked him up, though. Kyle Farnsworth, Robinson Tejeda and Joakim Soria kept the Yankees off the scoreboard the rest of the way, with Soria surviving a shaky ninth for his 27th save. He put runners on first

and second with two outs before getting Teixeira on a groundout to end the game — although replays showed he may have beaten Yuniesky Betancourt’s throw to first base. “I was safe,” Teixeira said flatly. “But there’s nothing you can do about it.” The game was paused for a moment before each of A-Rod’s at-bats so that plate umpire Mike Reilly could change out the balls for specially marked ones. A sellout crowd of 48,138 roared every time Rodriguez stepped to the plate, then sighed when the ball stayed in the yard. “The fans have been so great. Everyone wants it so badly here at home,” A-Rod said. “But I have to stay within myself, hit it the other way, try to stay comfortable.” Rodriguez finished 1 for 4 and remained on 599 home runs for the second straight day. “Davies did his part to relive the moment. He kept challenging me. He kept pumping those fastballs in there,” Rodriguez said, smiling. “I love that guy!” Afterward, Davies recalled asking for a signed ball from Rodriguez following his 500th homer on Aug. 4, 2007. A-Rod sent back a signed bat that read, “Thanks for being a good sport.” The temperature was 89 degrees at first pitch, though unofficial readings on the field put it well into triple digits by the third inning. Players paraded to

dugout water coolers each half inning, the umpire crew gratefully accepted drinks from the bat boys, and fans clamored for shade under the overhangs at Yankee Stadium. Sergio Mitre (0-2) came off the disabled list to fill in for Andy Pettitte, who went on the DL earlier in the week with a groin injury, and made his first start for New York since May 16.

ATHLETICS 10, WHITE SOX 2 OAKLAND, Calif. – Jack Cust hit two home runs, Kurt Suzuki added a homer of his own and the Athletics beat the White Sox. Suzuki, who agreed to terms on a four-year deal with the A’s Friday, helped the A’s win for the eighth time in 10 games.

PHILLIES 10, ROCKIES 2 PHILADELPHIA – Ryan Howard hit a bases-loaded triple and Jimmy Rollins had a two-run triple in a seven-run third inning and the Philadelphia Phillies handed Ubaldo Jimenez one of the worst losses of his career by beating the Colorado Rockies 10-2 Saturday. Kyle Kendrick (6-4) returned from his demotion to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and gave up a run and seven hits in seven innings for Philadelphia. Jimenez (15-2), the NL All-Star starter who entered with the most wins in the majors, lasted two-plus innings and

allowed six runs with six walks, both matching season highs.

CUBS 6, CARDINALS 5 CHICAGO – Rookies Tyler Colvin and Starlin Castro homered Saturday, completing a successful week at the top of Chicago’s order and helping the Cubs to a victory over the Cardinals. The Cardinals finally scored after being shut out the previous two days but still followed an eight-game winning streak with their third straight loss.

DODGERS 3, METS 2 (13) LOS ANGELES – James Loney homered in the 13th inning, giving the Dodgers a victory over the Mets. Oliver Perez (0-4), starting his second inning of relief, retired Matt Kemp on a broken-bat flyball before Loney drove a 1-0 pitch into the pavilion seats in rightcenter. Loney’s homer was timely because the Dodgers had no true relievers left in the Los Angeles bullpen. Muchmaligned reliever George Sherrill (1-1), the ninth Dodgers pitcher, worked a perfect inning.

REDS 7, ASTROS 0 HOUSTON – Johnny Cueto allowed four hits in eight scoreless innings and Joey Votto and Ramon Hernandez each homered to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-0 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.

Busch rolls to eighth Nationwide win of season CLERMONT, Ind. (AP) – Kyle Busch held off Carl Edwards in a two-lap sprint to the finish to win the NASCAR Nationwide race at O’Reilly Raceway Park on Saturday night. Busch used a perfectly timed restart to keep a

hard-charging Edwards at bay and pick up his eighth win of the season and his fifth in his last six starts. Edwards, who was docked 60 points and fined $25,000 for taking out series points leader Brad Keselowski at the end

of last week’s race in St. Louis, kept things clean this time. He used a late gamble to take on tires to roar through the field but didn’t have quite enough to track down Busch. Aric Almirola finished third.

Grizzlies bag 6-4 win over HiToms ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GASTONIA – The Gastonia Grizzlies slipped past the Thomasville HiToms for a 6-4 Coastal Plain League victory on Saturday night. The HiToms fell to 3-16 for the second half and 13-34 overall. Jordan Underwood got the win for the Grizzlies, working 61⁄3 innings with three strikeouts, four walks, nine hits and three unearned runs. Seth Grant

pitched the ninth for the save. He allowed one hit, one walk, once run and struck out one. T.J. Clarkson started and took the loss for the HiToms. He allowed four runs and three hits with one strikeout in one inning. Kaz Hargis went 3-for-4 with three singles,, two steals, two runs and a walk for the HiToms. Ben Grisz was 2-for-5 with two singles and an RBI. The HiToms play host to Forest City today at 5 p.m.

Weaver ties for sixth, packs bags for PGA event ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GREENSBORO – High Point’s Drew Weaver carded a sizzling final-round 65 on Saturday to secure a tie for sixth place in the eGolf Tour’s Forest Oaks Classic. Weaver finished at 17-under 271 after rounds of 6668-72-65 and pocketed $6,365.25. Weaver’s strong effort in this tournament caught the attention of the PGA Tour’s Greenbrier Classic. Weaver received a sponsor’s exemption to compete in this PGA event, which tees off Thursday and runs through Sunday at the Old White Course in West Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. “It’s a huge bonus,” Weaver said Saturday night,

moments after learning of his spot in the PGA Tour’s next stop. “I’ve been trying to land a place in that field for the past couple of months and this is really exciting.” Weaver says he plans to head up to West Sulphur Springs tonight and get in at least two practice rounds before Thursday. The strong finish at the Forest Oaks Classic, coupled with the invite from the PGA Tour event, made braving the heat this weekend more than worthwhile. “I heard the heat index (for the final round) was about 110,” Weaver recalled. “That’s about as hot as it ever gets around here, but it was certainly worth it.” Ben Martin of Greenwood, S.C. birdied the second

playoff hole to defeat Brett Munson of Evans. Ga. for the tournament crown. Both golfers posted 20-under-par 268s in regulation. Martin closed with a 67, while Munson carded a finalround 68. Martin won in just his second career professional start. Thomasville’s Chad Wilfong, who played alongside Weaver in the final round, placed tied for 12th at 14under 274. He posted rounds of 70, 68, 69 and 67 in the four-day event contested at Forest Oaks and Willow Creek. Munson’s runnerup finish secured a spot in the Nationwide Tour’s Price Cutter Charity Championship set for August 12-15.

Morgan Pressel of the United States studies the ball on the fifth hole during the third round of the Evian Masters women’s golf tournament in Evian, eastern France, on Saturday.

Pressel takes 3rd-round lead at Evian Masters EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) – Morgan Pressel took a two-stroke lead after three rounds of the Evian Masters on Saturday, closing with an eagle for a 5-under 67. The American began the day three strokes behind after a 72 Friday. She will enter today’s final round at 11 under, followed by South Koreans Jiyai Shin and Jeong Jang. Pressel felt she could have been further ahead but for a mistake in her club selection on the third hole. “I got off to a good start: birdied the first

Liu becomes youngest U.S. Junior Amateur boys champion ADA, Mich. (AP) – Fourteen-year-old Jim Liu of Smithtown, N.Y., beat Justin Thomas of Goshen, Ky., 4 and 2 Saturday to become the youngest U.S. Junior Amateur champion. Liu, who turns 15 next month, is more than six months younger than Tiger Woods when he won the first of his three consecutive U.S. Junior Amateur titles in 1991. Thomas, 17, who has committed to Alabama in the fall of 2011, bogeyed six of the final 11 holes, including the final three. Liu clinched the victory with a par on the 169-yard, par-3 16th hole on the Classic Course at Egypt Valley Country Club. Liu completed the first 18 holes of the 36-hole championship match with an 8-under 64. Thomas shot a 5-under 67 but still found himself three holes down midway through the match.

hole, made a little bit of a mess on three, more of a mental error than anything,” Pressel said. “I just shouldn’t have hit driver off the tee and made bogey.” Shin, who was briefly ranked No. 1 following Lorena Ochoa’s retirement this year, had five birdies and a bogey in a round of 68. Jang shot a 70. Second-round leader Mika Miyazato had a 74. She fell four strokes behind Pressel after a round marked by five bogeys, including a stretch of three in a row.

Brittany Lincicome, one of the longest drivers in women’s golf, had a 65. Her round included six birdies and an eagle on the 16th hole. She was three strokes behind Pressel and tied for fourth with Alexis Thompson (67) at 8 under. Gwladys Nocera was one off the lead after two rounds, but the Frenchwoman slipped down the leaderboard with a 76, undone by five bogeys. Michelle Wie had a better day after her 77 on Friday, showing more consistency with a 70 to move to 1 under.

Langer opens 3-shot lead at Senior British Open CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) – Bernhard Langer took a three-shot lead in the Senior British Open after shooting a 2-under 69 in the third round at Carnoustie on Saturday. The German has yet to win on the U.S. Champions Tour but is in position to change that after outplaying his nearest rival, Corey Pavin. The pair set out as co-leaders at 4 under, but three bogeys dropped the American Ryder Cup team captain to a 1-over 72. Despite his lead, Langer was wary of Carnoustie’s fearsome reputation. “I am aware that this golf course is one of the toughest links you will ever play,” he said. “And I am aware that a three-shot lead is nothing if very little around here. I am going to have to play very solidly again in the final round if I am going to lift the trophy.” Langer’s lead would have been even greater but he drove into a bunker on the final hole and was forced to lay up short of the infamous Barry

Burn with his recovery shot. He then hit a wedge to five feet but missed the putt to save his par and had to settle for the three-shot lead with a 6-under 207. After his round, Langer said he wished he had used a different club off the 18th tee to take the bunker out of play. “I hit a 3-wood,” he said. “But my caddy and I also discussed hitting one less – a hybrid. I should have listened but I am a stubborn German.” Despite falling out of the lead, Pavin was upbeat about his performance. A group of six players go into the final round at 2 under, one shot behind Pavin and four off the lead. Five of them are Americans, reflecting three days of domination at the top of the leaderboard. Joining Larry Mize, Jay Haas, Russ Cochran, Jay Don Blake and Fred Funk is Welshman Ian Woosnam. Funk climbed more than 15 places after a bogey-free 4-under 67, the lowest round of the day.

Wilson paces Canadian Open TORONTO (AP) – Dean Wilson shot his third straight 5-under 65 on Saturday to take a fourstroke lead over recordsetting Carl Pettersson, Tim Clark and Bob Estes in the Canadian Open, pulling away with three straight birdies at rainy St. George’s. Before Wilson and Clark teed off, Pettersson shot a 10-under 60 in calm

and dry morning conditions to break the tournament record, missing a 59 when his 30-foot birdie putt from the fringe grazed the left edge on the difficult par-4 18th. Estes had a 66, and Clark shot a 69 to match Pettersson at 11 under. A day after matching the then-tournament record with a 62, Kevin Sutherland had a 65 to join

Bryce Molder (63), Trevor Immelman (65) and Brock Mackenzie (68) at 10 under. The 40-year-old Wilson, the 2006 International winner ranked 522nd in the world, got into the tournament on a sponsor exemption. “I really appreciate that,” Wilson said. “This course is a great test,” he added.

High Point’s Walsh ties for fourth in tourney ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

BLUFFTON, S.C. – High Point’s Thomas Walsh tied for fourth place in the Hilton Head Junior All-Star held at the Berkeley Hall ClubSouth Course. Walsh finished at 4-over 220 after rounds of 76, 72 and 72 against a stellar field. “My putting was working well all week. I also hit my driver really well and found a

lot of the fairways as well,” Walsh said. Rigel Fernandes of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, fired a final-round 2-under-par 70 to edge Zach Botts of Jonesborough, Tenn., by one stroke at even-par 216. Reona Hirai of Summerville, S.C., carded a 4-over-par 76 to win the Girls Division at 2-over-par 218. The Hilton Head Junior All-Star is one of 10 events in the Gary Gil-

christ Golf Academy Junior AllStar Series. Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Hilton Head Junior All-Star was a 54-hole stroke play event held on the South Course at Berkeley Hall Club. The tournament field featured 60 boys and 17 girls from 17 states, Barbados, British Colombia, Columbia and the United Arab Emirates.

Chen takes U.S. Girls Junior Championship PINEHURST (AP) – Doris Chen of Bradenton, Fla., won four of five holes during one late stretch to beat Katelyn Dambaugh of Goose Creek, S.C., 3 and 2 in the finals of the U.S. Girls Junior Championship on Saturday. Chen, 17, made a 25foot birdie putt on the par-3 No. 16 to close the match and win the title at The Country Club of North Carolina. Chen was seeded 57th out of 64 after stroke-play qualifying earlier in the week and defeated medalist Danielle Kang of Thousand Oaks, Calif., in the quarterfinals. Dambaugh, a 15year-old, was aiming to become the first lefthanded female golfer to win a USGA national event.

STOCKHOLM (AP) – K.J. Choi of South Korea and Richard Johnson of Sweden share the lead at the Scandinavian Masters after the third round Saturday, and new British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen blew a chance to join them. Cheered on by a large home crowd, Johnson mixed four birdies with two bogeys in shooting 70 for a total of 10-under 206. Choi had three birdies and two bogeys in the rainy and windy conditions at Bro Hof Slott in a 1-under 71 round. Oosthuizen could have made it a threeway tie for the lead, but he bogeyed his final hole to end on a 70 and at 9 under. “The winds are so strong that it was almost pushing the ball down a little bit sometimes,” Johnson said. “It was very difficult.” Choi hit water at the 13th, where he opted to wade in to take a shot at a difficult ball. He said afterward that it was the first time he had done that during a golf tournament. Oosthuizen could become the first player to follow a British Open victory with a European Tour win a week later.

HIGH POINT – Sam Gibson carded a net 66 to take a one-stroke lead midway through the Men’s President’s Cup at High Point Country Club on Saturday.

The event concludes today at Willow Creek.

BOAT DRAGS, CALENDAR 4D www.hpe.com SUNDAY, JULY 25, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Reynolds hopes to find speed in a pinch A

ndy Reynolds serves as a pinch hitter in this weekend’s drag boat races at Oak Hollow Lake. The Belmont native, who lives in Lake Wylie, S.C., and is one of the few professional racers in the Lucas Oil series from the Carolinas, would rather be racing full time in the Top Alcohol Hydro class as he has done since the early 1990s. But, getting a call to get on the water as a substitute for a racer who was injured last weekend at Augusta, Ga., this weekend is better than not getting to take a swing at all, which has SPORTS been his status this season – thanks to a crash Greer at last year’s season-endSmith ing World Finals outside ■■■ Phoenix. Reynolds won that event, but at a high cost. His boat wound up on the bottom of the lake after its propeller went through the hull. Feeling the effects a tough, unsuccessful points run plus a tough economy, Reynolds and the two partners in his team decided to take this season off while coming up with the money to build a new boat. “My brother does most of the work,” Reynolds said. “I’m in the real estate business and my brother is in the boat business. We decided to concentrate on our businesses this year because we raced pretty hard for the championship last year. We have a guy up in Michigan, Bob Ginther, who funded the deal last year and he’s doing a lot of stuff with his business. So we decided to take a break from it.” He was resigned to missing High Point for the first time since he started driving in 1993 until he got a call on Monday to replace Kent Price, who suffered a broken leg when his “Black Draggin” went airborne and wound up in pieces on the Savannah River. “Not long after the crash, they decided to find a driver and a boat and keep racing,” Reynolds said. They found a boat that was raced some by Youngsville racer Mike Robbins last year but has been sitting idle this year because Reynolds moved up to the featured Top Fuel Hydro division. Top Alcohol Hydro is No. 2 division in drag boat racing. “With us being close to Kent’s crew, they gave me a call to race here, and I said, ‘Sure,’ ” Reynolds said. Robbins was glad that Kent’s crew called. “I told the owner of Kent’s boat during the winter that if anyone needed an Alcohol Hydro boat, mine was for sale,” said Robbins, the top qualifier for today’s race. “I hadn’t gotten my driving suit off after running the final round last week and Kent’s wife had the owner on the phone saying that he wanted to buy the boat. Kent couldn’t have been at the hospital more than 20 minutes. “I talked to Kent this week and told

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Top Alcohol Hydro drag boat driver Andy Reynolds targets success in a pinch-hitting role today at Oak Hollow Lake. him if he was happy, I was happy because there is not a big market for those boats.’’ The call to Reynolds made it possible for his small white pickup truck, decked out with the decals of his real estate business, to be in the Oak Hollow pit area this week. Not being able to compete at Oak Hollow would have been tougher for Reynolds than missing other events.

“It’s always tough to be parked,” Reynolds said. “I think last weekend was only the second time I haven’t raced at Augusta in 20 years. So, I was glad that I got the call to race here because I love High Point. It’s the first place that I won when I started racing in 1993. So, I always look forward to coming to High Point.” He looks forward to today after posting a faster time in Saturday’s qualify-

ing runs than the only other Alcohol Hydro boat entered. “The crew has done such a good job to put all this together so quick,” Reynolds said. Reynolds doesn’t know if he will continue to sub past this weekend. But, a little time as a pinch hitter is better than none. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Driver Jimmie Johnson (right) talks with crew chief Chad Knaus during practice on Saturday for the NASCAR Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis. Johnson and Knaus target their third straight victory in this event.

Johnson in prime position to make history at Indy INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Jimmie Johnson played it safe in Saturday’s Brickyard 400 qualifying. Today, he’s planning to be back in his regular post-race spot in Indy – Victory Lane. The first Cup driver to win four straight series titles is trying to become the sixth member of Indy’s revered four-time winner’s club and the first American to win three straight races on the famed 2.5-mile oval. “It doesn’t change my mindset going into the race,� Johnson said after qualifying second with a lap of 182.142 mph. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity, but I’m still going to go to bed tonight and do everything I can like I would on a normal weekend to make sure my car is right and run the race the same way tomorrow. I can’t change what I’m doing much.�

Why would he? Johnson already has five wins this season, matching Denny Hamlin for the most in the series. Johnson also is third in points as he tries for an unprecedented fifth straight title. If things go well today, Johnson will join a list that includes some of racing’s biggest names – A.J. Foyt, Al Unser, Rick Mears, Jeff Gordon and Michael Schumacher. Schumacher, the seven-time Formula One champ from Germany, is the only driver with five Indy wins, four of which came from 20032006 though one was in a six-car field. Indianapolis fans have already seen this scenario play out once this year. In May, three-time Indy winner Helio Castroneves won the pole but failed to win a record-tying fourth Indy 500, losing to Scotland’s Dario Franchitti.

As attendance sags, is the Brickyard 400 losing luster? INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Any sports event that draws an estimated crowd of 180,000 has to be considered a smashing success. Except when it drew 270,000 two years earlier. There will be empty seats at today’s Brickyard 400, leading some to wonder whether one of NASCAR’s marquee events has lost a little bit of its luster. “Has some of that worn off? I think a little bit,� Jeff Gordon said. “But I still think the sport brings in a heck of a crowd and this track and its history still makes it very, very prestigious. Certainly for the competitors it’s as prestigious as it’s ever been.� Winning at the Brickyard is about as big as it gets for NASCAR drivers, even rivaling the Daytona 500 in terms of prestige. But it’s being seen by fewer fans in recent years. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway does not release official attendance figures, but crowds are declining according to NASCAR estimates: from 270,000 in 2007 to 240,000 in 2008 to 180,000 last year. That’s still a remarkable number of people

– dwarfing even the University of Michigan’s “Big House,� which recently increased its capacity to 109,901. But the track is taking steps to boost attendance, letting kids 12 and under get in free with the purchase of an adult general admission ticket. Jeff Belskus, president and CEO of the speedway, says he is expecting a crowd of “well over� 100,000 on Sunday but acknowledges that ticket sales have been somewhat sluggish. “We’ve seen some softness,� Belskus said. “It’s not a lot different than last year, frankly. There are still going to be a lot of fans here.� The economy certainly plays a role in sagging attendance, both at the Brickyard and throughout NASCAR. But Belskus acknowledges that severe tire issues that turned the 2008 race into a tough-to-watch debacle might play a role, too. “Mostly, yeah, (it’s) enduring this tough economy,� Belskus said. “We had some tire issues here a couple years ago with this event, and I actually think that probably accelerated some things a little bit for us.�

Power paces IndyCar qualifying at Edmonton EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) – Will Power, going for his third consecutive win in IndyCar, will start from the pole today in the Honda Edmonton Indy. Power drove the 1.96mile City Centre Airport track in 1:00.7126 to lead the 25-car field. Helio Castroneves, Power’s teammate with Team Penske, will start beside him on the front row while Scott Dixon of

Target Chip Ganassi will be third. Power has been the class of the field in IndyCar this season. He leads the driver standings, has won four of 10 races and has six poles. Danica Patrick did not make it out of the first round of the three-round qualifying process and will start 21st. Paul Tracy of Toronto will start 15th.

Now Johnson will start from the front row, on the outside of 2000 Indy 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya. The Colombian was a tick faster than Johnson in qualifying, posting a 182.278 to win the pole. Afterward, Johnson said he didn’t show everything he had. “I was really proud of what I did because yesterday I continued to make mistakes, I would run three of the four corners right and I couldn’t get all four right,� he said. “So I made sure today that I did my job and maybe left a little bit on the table because I wanted to be very line specific and not make a mistake.� That’s not good news for those trying to end Johnson’s streak. “I hope to keep it going. It seems to put us in a great position in the record books,� Johnson said.

HOCKENHEIM, Germany (AP) – Sebastian Vettel of Germany squeezed out Fernando Alonso on Saturday to take pole position in his home Formula One Grand Prix. Vettel’s Red Bull was .002 seconds faster than Alonso’s Ferrari in qualifying to give the German his sixth pole of the season – and his third straight. “We knew that it would be close, but did not expect it to be that close. It’s not very comfortable,� said Vettel, who now has 11 poles in his career. Felipe Massa of Brazil in the second Ferrari was third and Mark Webber of Australia was fourth in another Red Bull to complete the two front rows for today’s German Grand Prix. Championship leader Lewis Hamilton of Britain was sixth, behind McLaren teammate Jenson Button. Vettel will be looking for his third win of the season. Alonso won the opening race of the season in Bahrain but Ferrari has since fallen behind Red Bull and McLaren. Ferrari has had a good weekend so far, with Alonso faster than Vettel in Friday’s practice and just behind the German in the third practice session before qualifying.

Summer gundog warmup W

alking across a field with a nice shotgun and a dog carrying a bird in his mouth is a pleasant experience for me. The particular walk I’m thinking of was downright euphoric. It happened just a little short of two years ago and I was walking back to my dove stool with my old Fox 16 and my new puppy, Larry. I had shot a dove, Larry had been excited and we walked out to where the bird fell. He didn’t really know how to look for the bird so we kind of looked together. I urged him on and when I located the bird, I told him “close, close” and he found it. I took off back to my shooting station with him exuberant with his first real retrieve in his mouth. That first day of Larry’s hunting career, I managed to shoot a limit of doves and six month old, little Larry brought every one back to my stool. It was hardly a picture book process, in fact I suspect it would have been comical to watch but we had a great first day. With each bird, I became more convinced that we would have a lot of fun times together coming up. This summer, Larry has had the summer off. He’s done none of the work that’s his life’s calling and the only training we’ve done relates to doing personal appearances with me and in general being a well behaved dog. Some hunting dogs don’t need social skills but Larry does. There’s a fine balance between him being behaved and being a zombie dog who is in total control but shows no enthusiasm for people. I want Larry to be polite but personable and this takes a little more effort and time. The fact is, though, that it’s time to get back to the real life’s work for a

Labrador Retriever, the pursuit and retrieval of game birds. Just like hunters need to spend a little time on the clays course for best performance when the shooting season starts, dogs need some warm up work. A SPORTS few weeks ago, we talked about how to prepare the Dick hunter for the season. Jones Now, we talk about the ■■■ dog. Every August of my old Lab, Ernie’s, life, we did a warm up training session. Every August of Larry’s life, I plan to do the same to get him in the right frame of mind for work. Our drill is simple, it requires little space and just a few repeated sessions to get Larry thinking right. I’m sure that we’d manage just fine if we just walked out to the dove field cold turkey. I would manage my shooting just fine without a round or two of clays but it sure makes the first few shots go better. On our first warm up trip, we’re in the field at just after sunrise. Summer heat is a big issue for dogs and dogs who live in air conditioning are just like people who live in AC, they’re more affected by high temps. On that first trip, we’ll just walk across the field for a little while and get used to commands. I’ll bring a dove stool, a shotgun, and some shells and then we’ll practice doing what’s done for most of the time on a dove shoot, sit and watch. After a few hunting experiences, most dogs get excited just seeing the trappings of the event and loading into the truck. Walking out and sitting at heel for a few minutes does little

Bison announce practice dates ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The sports season for the 2010-11 school year gets under way at High Point Central this week when the Bison open with their football minicamp. Players will gather for the workout sessions Monday through Friday at 6 p.m. on the fields behind the boys gym. The mini-camp is in advance of the official tryouts and practices that begin for football on Aug. 2 at 6 p.m. All of Central’s other fall sports also begin with tryouts and first practices

on the first Monday of August. Cross country meets at 8:30 a.m. in front of the boys gym. Girls golf gathers at 9 a.m. at Blair Park. Volleyball meets at 5 p.m. in the boys gym. Boys soccer meets at 6 p.m. in the outfield of the baseball field and girls tennis meets at 6 p.m. on the HPC courts. Each student-athlete must meet all Guilford County Schools and N.C. High School Athletic Association eligibility requirements to participate. All forms and proofs of residency also must be on file prior to participation. Contact athletic director Mike Cook at 819-2849 with questions.

to satisfy that desire for excitement but the lesson in patience is valuable. The excitement of those first hunts is enough to make almost any dog jump the gun on the initial shots. I’ll sit on my stool with my gun across my knees and we’ll exercise our patience. After we’ve been sitting awhile, I’ll remind Larry to sit and then I’ll jump and fire a shot into the air, as if I’m shooting a dove. Larry’s response will be excitement and he’s likely to stand and even run off in the direction I’ve fired. He’s just wanting some action but that behavior isn’t acceptable. I want him to stay where he is until I send him after the bird. Some dogs go when the bird falls but I don’t want this to happen. I want my dog to be steady to wing and shot. We’ll repeat this process a few times. Every few minutes, I’ll remind Larry to stay as I fire a shot. When he remains sitting when I shoot, I’ve accomplished my mission. For the next outing, I like to have a bird. I always try to have a few pigeons in my freezer every year for dog training purposes. You can do this with doves or quail but you could run into complications if you get checked by a game warden. Four to six feathered, frozen birds are handy to have in the event you need a training aid. Of course, a fresh pigeon is even better. I thaw out one bird and put it in my vest in a ziplock bag. We repeat the same drill as before except I go for a little walk shortly after we sit down and leave Larry at the stool on stay. I walk out a decent retrieve distance and surreptitiously drop the bird when Larry can’t see me. I come back and sit for a while. When I shoot this time, I send him after the bird. Of course he’s not

marked it since there was no bird but I put him on a line and send him in that direction. Normally, he would find the bird just from smell. If he does have trouble, I’ll handle him to the bird with commands and directions. Either way, we’ve just reinforced that I’m the one who knows whether he should remain sitting by my stool or go get a bird. I want him to follow my direction and this reinforces his faith in my decision. Often, an experienced dog will “disagree” with his handler about where the bird is or if there’s a bird on the ground. I want Larry to defer to me on such matters. Once I have the bird in hand, I’ll sit and repeat the process. I don’t believe for a minute that I’m fooling my dog into thinking I’m shooting real birds. All I’m doing is reminding Larry of how the hunt is supposed to work. Keep the sessions short and fun and do some in the afternoon so your dog can get used to the heat. If you don’t have time to prepare your dog and your shooting eye for the upcoming dove season, you’re not going to be as successful. Besides, getting out in the field with your dog is a therapeutic cure for worry and stress. Larry and I will see you in the dove fields; we’ll be relaxed and sharp. DICK JONES IS a freelance writer living in High Point. Larry is a 2-year-old Fox Red Labrador who will hunt as well as do personal appearances with Dick. Dick writes about hunting, fishing, dogs, and shooting for several N.C. newspapers as well as magazines. He and Larry give informative and humorous speeches for groups and can MC your outdoor event or help your church or youth organization with fundraising.

Teen wins in late sister’s car at Soap Box Derby AKRON, Ohio (AP) – Actor-director Corbin Bernsen is in Ohio filming the movie “Hill 25,” based on the Soap Box Derby. He may have to tear up the script to match the real-life performance of 14year-old Sean Brown at the 73rd annual

race at Derby Downs in Akron. The Spotsylvania, Va., boy won the Rally Super Stock Division on Saturday, racing in a car that had been driven by his late sister Carol Anne. She was 18 when she committed suicide last year.

U.S. shutout streak continues with Canney’s 2-hitter OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Eileen Canney keeps accumulating fond memories when softball brings her to Oklahoma City. A day after she accepted her boyfriend’s marriage proposal, Canney struck out 14 in the U.S. national team’s third straight shutout and Alissa Haber homered in a 1-0 victory against the USA Futures team at the World Cup of Softball on Saturday. “It’s been a great week, and it’s nice because my family is here and friends are here to support us,” Canney said. “I just love Oklahoma City. Really great memories here.” Canney (1-0) pitched on the same field for Northwestern at the 2006 Women’s College World Series, when the Wildcats made it all the way to the finals before losing to Arizona. She and her fiance, Andrew, started dating shortly before that. So Friday along the Bricktown canal near downtown, he dropped to one knee and popped the question. “Oklahoma City is really special for us, so it was a perfect place for it,” Canney said. A day later, the U.S. national team rookie made her first start at the World Cup and put up zeros just as Monica Abbott and Jennie Finch had done for the Americans (3-0) in the first two games at the tournament.

Canney allowed only Megan Langenfeld’s line single to lead off the fifth inning and Valerie Arioto’s single down the leftfield line in the seventh. Arioto was cut down at second as she tried to turn it into a double. “It’s tough as a rookie coming on this team because we’ve got such great veterans and such a tradition that they’re stepping into. That can be a little intimidating at times and a little tough,” U.S. coach Jay Miller said. “But I thought Eileen did a great job today and really settled in.” The game featured a squad of the nation’s top

players against the best players who didn’t make the national team. Jordan Taylor (0-1) threw a three-hitter and retired 11 straight at one point for the Futures (12), but yielded Haber’s leadoff home run in the third inning that ended up being the difference. “It was a low ball. I usually don’t swing at the low balls, but at that point in the at-bat I was swinging at anything but the change-up,” said Haber, who set a record with 20 RBIs at the world championships three weeks ago. “She kept us off balance a lot with that changeup.”

Contador locks up Tour title in next-to-last stage PAUILLAC, France (AP) – Alberto Contador is set to win his third Tour de France title in four years after keeping the yellow jersey Saturday in the next-to-last stage. Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland won the 32mile individual time trial, but Contador extended his slim lead over Andy Schleck of Luxembourg, who started the 19th stage 8 seconds behind. “I am very moved. ... It was a difficult Tour and I’m very happy,� Contador said. After donning the yellow jersey, the 27-yearold Spaniard wiped away tears and took a deep breath. His hand trembled as he made his trademark gesture to the crowd – pretending to shoot with his finger. “I think it’s the first Tour that has given me

so much emotion, you can’t imagine,� he said. Schleck now trails by 39 seconds and is to finish second to Contador for the second straight year. “Beating Contador is not easy, but I tried everything,� he said. “I am happy, and I’ll come back next year to win.� Barring a wild turn of events, Contador is all but certain to win the race in the 20th and final stage today – a 64-mile ride from Longjumeau to the Champs-Elysees in Paris. The last stage has become largely ceremonial, and any attempt at attacks likely would be quashed by Contador and his Astana teammates. Seven-time champion Lance Armstrong, who is riding in his last Tour and ruled himself out of contention after crashing and struggling in the first day in the Alps in the

eighth stage 8, will be going out with a whimper. The 38-year-old Texan, who once dominated time trials, finished Saturday’s stage in 67th place, 7:05 behind Cancellara. Overall, he is 23rd – 39:20 behind his former teammate and rival Contador. Armstrong returned to a RadioShack team car and left without speaking to reporters after the stage. Riders set off one by one down a starter’s ramp for the race against the clock that set the final positions on the podium. Cancellara, one of the world’s top time-trial riders, outpaced Tony Martin of Germany, who was 17 seconds back in second place. Bert Grabsch of Germany was third, 1 minute, 48 seconds behind the winner.

Vickie stayed in touch with Carolyn Benfield, from the old location, and asked her to return as hostess. Vickie wanted to be relieved from cash-register duties so she could hug customers, and now Carolyn complains that she doesn’t have time to talk to friends from the old restaurant because she’s too busy checking people out. Vickie found Guy Little, from the old days, and asked him to return to help in the kitchen and serve as a jack-of-all-trades, and she’s looking for former sous chef Tony Farley, but hasn’t

IGH POINT – Most of the tables in the main room of the Golden B were occupied at lunch one day last week by customers from the old location, and

people were anxious to share their thoughts. Here are some of those stories involving owners “Cush” and Vickie Bocholis. • Susan and Jim McAbee remembered sharing recipes with Cush at the old location, particularly

one for fried pickles that underwent many tests before they perfected the best fried pickles in town, Jim said. “I haven’t been anyplace else for breakfast on Saturday since it reopened,” Susan said. “I always order something

that’s not even on the menu. I just call it ‘Cush’s egg thing.’ It’s toast, eggs, meat and grits, all piled up on each other.” “When I found out (the Golden B) was coming back, I cut the article out of the paper, and I still carry it around in

CUSTOSMERS, 3E

An estimated 46 million Americans suffer from some form of arthritis, 300,000 of which are children. Arthritis, the inflammation of one or more joints, affects men and women, children and adults. According to arthritis.org, direct medical costs of arthritis equal $81 billion annually in the United States. Moreover, nearly 19 million people with arthritis will stop working within 10 years of being diagnosed. Experts predict that by year 2030, around 25 percent of our adult population will have this disease. With a clearer understanding of arthritis, you will be able to help prevent, control and cure the disease that continues to affect millions of people. Find out more about what you can do to make your arthritis more manageable at Randolph Hospital’s “A Hand Up on Arthritis” education program. Aug. 12 at 6:30 p.m. at Randolph Hospital. Rehabilitation Services therapists will lead activities and answer questions. In addition, participants will learn about available resources the local Y offers to help those dealing with arthritis. “Patients are educated about the history, different types, treatment, home changes, nutrition, etc. of arthritis. Individuals can develop a better understanding of what a diagnosis of arthritis really means,” said BJ Chockley, director of Rehabilitation Services at Randolph Hospital. This seminar is one of Randolph Hospital’s community education events offered each month to promote health and wellness. Registration is required for this program.

In-laws pressure nurse for private care De

ar Abby: I will graduate soon with a degree in nursing. This is a dream that is finally coming true. The problem is my mother-in-law expects me to take care of her and my father-in-law. They both have health issues, but nothing that requires 24-hour nursing care, and their medical issues can be resolved by simply taking their medications and following their doctors’ advice. I offered to help pay for home health care, but she said she doesn’t want “outside� help. She expects me to uproot my family, move in with them and provide round-the- clock care, free of charge. I have worked hard to take care of my husband and children. I can’t make a living working for free. I don’t know how to say no without causing a major rift in the family. My mother-in-law doesn’t take rejection well. Please help me. – Feeling Trapped in Arizona Dear Feeling Trapped: One of the

hardest words in the English language for some people to say is “no.� But if you don’t master the art of standing up for yourself in a “charming� way, you will spend the rest of ADVICE your in-laws’ lives in indentured servitude. Dear So tell your motherAbby in-law that you have ■■■worked hard to get your nursing degree, and now you will be starting a career in the field. Tell her that you will gladly “oversee� their care – from a distance – but that you are not uprooting the family and moving in with them because it would be too disruptive. This is not “rejection.� It is sanity. And it goes without saying your husband should back you up. Dear Abby: My oldest granddaughter, “Allie,� is a psychiatrist. I have

always loved her, been proud of her accomplishments and have had a warm relationship with her. Her mother – my daughter – got drunk and made several angry, harsh phone calls to Allie. Since then, Allie has refused contact with everyone in the family. I have written to her numerous times and so has my daughter, begging for forgiveness. My daughter has quit drinking, thanks to the patience and loving support of my family. She has also come out of an abusive marriage. Allie gave birth to a baby girl last year. I have never seen my greatgrandchild and it breaks my heart. Abby, what can I do to restore a good relationship with my granddaughter? I love her and pray for her every day. – Grieving Grandma

ing upon what your daughter said to Allie, it is understandable that she might want to protect herself – and her baby – from her verbally abusive, alcoholic parent. While it may be harsh for Allie to have cut off contact with all of her maternal relatives, including you, she may have done so to prevent you from trying to pressure her to “forgive� her mother for what has been an ongoing pattern of behavior. Write Allie one more letter advising her that her mother is no longer drinking and has left her abusive marriage. Continue loving and praying for her. But until your granddaughter decides on her own to relent, there is nothing you can do to “fix� this. I’m sorry. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

What decided eligibility for disability? Q:

My doctor said he thinks I’m disabled. Who decides if I meet the requirements for Social Security disability benefits? A: We first will review your application to make sure you meet some basic requirements for Social Security disability benefits, such as whether you worked enough years to qualify. Then we will send your application to the disability determination services office in your state, often called the “DDS� or “state agency.� In North Carolina, the application is sent to the state agency in Raleigh. Your state agency completes the

disability decision for us. Doctors and disability specialists in the state agency ask your doctors for information about your condition. They consider all the facts in your case. They use the medical evidence from your doctors and hospitals, clinics, or institutions where you have been treated and all other information. The state agency staff may need more medical information before they can decide if you are disabled. If more information is not available from your current medical sources, the state agency may ask you to go for a special examination. We prefer to ask your own doctor, but

sometimes the exam may have to be done by someone else. Social Security will pay for the exam and for some of the related travel costs. Learn more about disability benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/ disability. Q: How do I change my citizenship status on Social Security’s records? A: To change your citizenship status shown in Social Security records:

Complete an application for a Social Security card (Form SS-5), which you can find online at www.socialsecurity. gov/online/ss-5.html; and Locate documents proving your: New or revised citizenship status (Only certain documents can be accepted as proof of citizenship. These include your U.S. passport, a Certificate of Naturalization, or a Certificate of Citizenship. If you are not a U.S. citizen, Social Security will ask to see your current immigration documents); Age; and Identity. Then, take (or mail) your completed application and documents

to your local Social Security office at 6005 Landmark Center Boulevard in Greensboro. All documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. We cannot accept photocopies or notarized copies of documents. For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov.

to overspend. You can find love or enhance the relationship you are already in. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take things as they come and don’t make a fuss. It’s up to you to use your imagination and skills to turn what you have to offer into a service that is in demand. You know what to do, so take the first step and don’t look back. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are so close to finishing a long-time project but fear of failure is keeping you from launching your plans, even if they aren’t quite complete. Stop procrastinating. Your lover can contribute insight and encouragement. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a unique approach to whatever you do in order to grab the attention of someone who isn’t pleased with your current comings and goings. Make some changes at home and you will recover some of the losses you’ve endured personally, financially and emotionally. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take the initiative about your personal papers and finances. Research and find the right people to do the jobs you cannot do yourself. Your plans will gather interest and please someone you care for and want to impress. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have choices to make. Look at all the positives and negatives that are dependent on a decision you make now. Let old habits go and look to the future with optimism and a solid game plan. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A relationship can go either way, depending on how you approach a pending problem.

Pain after heart attack not always sign of another one

D

ear Dr. Donohue: One month to the day after he had a heart attack, my husband complained of chest pain. We were just getting back to a normal routine. He thought he might be having another attack, and so did I. I called 911, and he was back in the hospital emergency room again. The doctors weren’t sure what was going on. He was admitted for observation. The second day of hospitalization, the doctor told us he hadn’t had another heart attack. He had Dressler’s syn-

drome. We’re not clear what this means. Will you please explain? – N.O. Dressler’s syndrome is HEALTH something that happens to a Dr. Paul small number of Donohue people three to ■■■ four weeks after they have had a heart attack. The heart muscle that died during the attack sets the immune system in motion.

It calls on lymphocytes, one of the white blood cells, to infiltrate the coverings of the heart (the pericardium) and the lungs (the pleura). It also starts generating antibodies, which attack those two coverings. Chest pain is the predominant symptom. It can be painful to take a deep breath or to twist the chest. The patient is sure it’s another heart attack; it’s not. Management starts with the use of one of the anti-inflammatory drugs, like aspirin or ibuprofen. If they don’t quiet

things, the gout medicine colchicine is prescribed. This condition has nothing to do with gout; it’s peculiar that gout medicine works for it. If the pain persists, one of the cortisone drugs can relieve the inflammation that’s causing all the trouble. Prednisone is the one most often chosen. Dressler’s syndrome, while alarming, isn’t going to set back your husband’s health. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is there any truth to the statement that whole fruits provide nutrition

but fruit juice doesn’t? We have our own orange and grapefruit trees. My husband likes the juice of both, but he doesn’t eat the whole fruit. Isn’t he getting any benefit from the juice? – K.K. Whole fruit has fiber, which fruit juice doesn’t have. He’s losing a chance for fiber, but he can make up for that in many other ways. Other than the fiber issue, fruit juice provides as much nutrition as the whole fruit does.

Bottom line on vaccines

D

ear Dr. Fox: You have offered much opinion on the risks of vaccinations to cats and dogs, and I have read the convincing documentation of the health problems that can occur at your website and others. Please provide a concise summary to help convince pet owners that annual booster vaccinations are high-risk and unwarranted. – J.G.K., Minneapolis, Minn.

Dining at Golden B is tradition for some families his staff out to lunch, and the new B has become a favorite for them. • Linda O’Connor told her husband, Steve, she’d be happy eating there every day. Steve used to eat at the restaurant Cush’s father owned, and he said he’d missed the homemade desserts. Steve recently brought a friend for breakfast, and the friend said his wife was in a women’s Red Hat Club. “Evidently he told her about this place, like he said he was going to,” Steve said as women wearing vivid red hats and purple dresses filed into the dining room. • Jim DeViney happily ate crab cakes, which were his favorite at the old location, where he remembers having

lunch in the “Rush Room” and listening to Rush Limbaugh’s radio program. • Vickie Bocholis threw her arms around a seated Jay Wagner – 6 feet 2 inches tall when standing – and claimed he grew so tall because she fed him when he was a child. Wagner said he, his father, grandfather and brother used to meet at the old location each Tuesday. His grandfather always paid, and when the grandfather no longer could drive, they picked him up and continued the tradition. Wagner, now an attorney, eats at the B several times a week now, and that’s made easier because his office is just across the parking lot, and his home is 400 yards away.

Wagner also is chairman of City Project and Uptowne High Point Association, and he views the restaurant as just what High Point needs. “This location has been a death knell for other restaurants,” he said. “It just proves that if you invent a better mousetrap, they’ll beat a path to your door.” • Kathy and Dennis Miller claimed they were at the new location to test the food to see if it still was good. The Bocholis family passed the test. “From the crowds that have been here, the Golden B has been missed. It’s good people and good food,” Kathy said. “Cush tried retiring too early,” Dennis said. vknopfler@hpe.com / 888-3601

I then ■■■ point to the rising clinical evidence (which vaccinologists, manufacturers and others will debate forever) that while vaccines work by programming the immune-defense system, this programming can go haywire for a variety of partially documented reasons, leading to vaccinosis. This is especially true in certain feline and canine genotypes/ breeds. So the precautionary principle must

be applied and blood titers taken to determine whether revaccination is needed.

Boy started fruit stands 50 years ago BY DAVID FISCHER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

H

OMESTEAD, Fla. – Robert is here, and he’s been here for more than five decades. Officially established in 1960, the Robert Is Here fruit stand is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Robert Moehling, who’s been running the stand since he was 6 years old, can still be found behind the counter on any given day, chatting with regulars and answering questions about exotic fruits. Robert Is Here – located in Homestead at the edge of the Everglades National Park – gets visitors from all over the world and has become a regional landmark. Moehling offers customers everything from the traditional to the unusual, including mangos, strawberries, lychees, papayas, guanabanas, tamarinds, sapotes and carambolas, also known as starfruit. Most of them he grows himself. “We like to grow weird tropical fruit,” Moehling said. And just about all the fruits sold at Robert Is Here are offered as flavors for milkshakes and smoothies. “It’s great,” said Jill Shafer, of Wooster, Ohio, who was on the way to the Keys with her daughter. “The milkshakes are out of sight. ... I don’t know of any other places like this.” Moehling’s daughter, Victoria Valencia, said they try to create an atmosphere for customers to hang out and

A petting zoo behind the stand features emus, donkeys, goats, parrots, chickens, geese and tortoises. Inside the animals’ enclosure is a climbing structure made of several tons of natural coral rock. “We’re trying to make it more enjoyable,” Valencia said. “Instead of just coming out, getting their milkshakes and getting back in their car and leaving, we want them to stay.” Rita Merlevede, who was visiting from Belgium with her husband and three sons, read in a travel guide that anyone planning a trip to the Everglades had to stop at Robert Is Here. “It’s really a terrific place,” Merlevede said.

“It’s nice that you can eat your fruit right here.” Besides offering customers fruit and entertainment, Moehling likes to help guests find other fun activities in the area. Robert Is Here is one of nine local businesses that joined several years ago to form the Historic Redland Tropical Trail. Other members include Schnebly Redland’s Winery, Everglades Alligator Farm, Monkey Jungle and the world-famous Coral Castle. “By promoting other places, it makes my customers happy, and happy customers come back,” Moehling said. The stand got its start because Moehling’s father, also named Robert, was having a hard time

unloading a harvest of cucumbers. Not wanting to throw away perfectly good cucumbers, Moehling’s father set his then-6year-old son on a rural intersection one Saturday in November 1959 and told Moehling to sell the vegetables. “I sat here all day long,” Moehling said. “Not only did I not get any customers to buy cucumbers, no one even stopped.” Moehling’s father simply couldn’t understand how so many people could drive by without wanting to buy cucumbers, concluding that people must not have seen the boy. Moehling’s father grabbed a couple hurricane shutters and wrote “Robert Is Here”

on them in big red letters. He set Moehling back on the same corner the next day with the two signs in place. Moehling sold all the cucumbers by noon and walked home. For the next several weekends, Moehling returned to the corner – the same location where the fruit stand remains today – to sell various fruits and vegetables. When Christmas vacation arrived, Moehling spent every day at the corner. When school resumed in January, Moehling’s mother, Mary, arranged for the bus to pick him up and drop him off at the fruit stand. They would set up each morning and leave a coffee can on the table, allowing customers to

pay on the honor system. After the bus dropped off Moehling in the afternoon, he worked until dark. Despite the long hours, Moehling said he never resented working the stand as a child. “It was something that I had to do to keep the family’s head above water,” Moehling said. “The first year or so it was sustaining an income we didn’t have, because dad was really busted out.” The family’s fortunes eventually improved, and by the time Moehling was 9, he had hired a neighbor woman to watch the stand for him while he was at school. The young entrepreneur bought his first 10 acres of property when he was 14. He planted an avocado grove on it and rented out the house. Over the years, Moehling continued to buy property in five- or 10acre patches. Moehling, his wife and his children still farm the land and sell the produce at their stand. After decades of running the business, Moehling said his children are handling more of the responsibilities. Three of his four kids decided to return to the fruit stand after graduating from college. The fourth is still in school. Moehling said he’s happy to have his children take over, so long as they’re able to make the place their own. “I started this to help my parents and grew it into what it is,” Moehling said. “Now I’m forcing them to do something to make their mark.”

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – A Utah man is accused of violating a protective order because he allegedly sent letters to his estranged wife’s cat. Authorities say 32-year-old Ronald Charles Dallas, of South Salt Lake, was ordered not to contact his wife, who is the alleged victim in a domestic violence case against him. Prosecutors allege Dallas mailed 11 letters from jail that were addressed to her cat Molly Judge and a neighbor, but were intended for his wife. They say the letters asked her not to testify against him. Dallas now faces 11 counts of violation of a protective order and two counts of tampering with a witness. His court-appointed attorney, Trent Ricks, says he couldn’t comment until he speaks to his client.

NYC police make arrest in ‘bouquet bandit’ case NEW YORK (AP) – A man dubbed the “bouquet bandit� because he held fresh flowers while robbing a Manhattan bank was arrested this week at a Brooklyn home where he was hiding in a closet, police said. The publicity generated by a security photo – including front-page headlines in the city’s tabloids – led to tips naming 44-year-old Edward Pemberton, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said while announcing the arrest. Police officials later

said that during questioning, Pemberton implicated himself in six bank heists since 2008. In one last year, he showed up with roses but left emptyhanded, police said. The New York Police Department released the security photo on Monday amid a manhunt for a robber who walked into a bank last week carrying a bouquet neatly bundled in pink tissue paper and plastic. Hidden inside the arrangement was a note that read, “Give me all your $100s, $50s. Don’t be a hero.�

Sarah and Clyde Bailey In 1960

Nevada’s first family calls it quits RENO, Nev. (AP) – Nevada’s first family is officially no more. A family court judge in Reno signed the divorce decree Wednesday for Gov. Jim Gibbons and his now ex-wife, Dawn. Gibbons becomes the first sitting governor to get divorced in Nevada’s history. The former congressman won’t be returning to the governor’s mansion next year because he lost the Republican primary last month to former federal judge Brian Sandoval – another first for an incumbent governor. The couple reached a tentative divorce settle-

ment in December but had continued to argue about a number of details. Jim Gibbons, 65, filed for divorce in May 2008, citing incompatibility with his wife. Dawn Gibbons, 55, accused her husband of having affairs with a former Playboy model and the estranged wife of a Reno doctor – allegations he denied. The settlement orders the governor to pay alimony totaling 25 percent of his gross income for the next five years. That’s about $4,000 a month through the end of this year, when his term as governor ends.

Feeding independence Small grocers hang on in tough economy BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – In a day where supermarkets are competing against each other, many small locallyowned grocery stores still are holding on strong. During a tough economy and stiff competition, owners of small grocery stores in the Triad cite a variety of reasons for good business. Whether it be low prices, good service or product, owners say finding that niche has made them

Stepping inside the Conrad & Hinkle store is like taking a step back in time. The store is located on the square in Lexington. staples in their respective communities. Mike Dennis, co-owner of Cedar Lodge Market in Thomasville, says staying competitive means providing good service and low prices. “Our prices on our meats and produce, we will compete with the chain stores every day of the month,” Dennis said. “Our can goods are reasonable. Our dry

goods are reasonable. We’ve got about 10 aisles. There’s not a lot of walking. “We will give good service. We will get you in. We will get you out. We’ve got you a smile.” Cedar Lodge Market has remained family-owned since it opened in March of 1963 by Mike’s father, Charles Dennis. Mike Dennis now owns the business with his brother, Danny Dennis. “We have tried hard, and we have stuck with it,” Mike Dennis said. “There’s a lot of circumstances that can take you out even if you try hard any more, but we have been lucky.” Cedar Lodge Market is “hanging on” even with four big grocery stores within two miles of the business, Dennis said. “I think a lot of times in chain stores, you lose a personal touch because those people are there to do a job, and we are here to make a living and keep the store open. We want to please people, and we want them happy when they leave. I think there’s a whole lot to be said for smaller grocery stores.” At Cedar Lodge Market, it’s all about the meats for customers, according to Dennis. “Any time somebody wants something special, they are welcome to call ahead, and we will have it waiting for them to pick up,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of neighborhood business. We’ve got people who travel from Lexington and Trinity. There’s a lot of people who want fresh meats and they’ve lost all of the other little stores. We take care of that niche.” Jimbo Hinkle, co-owner of Conrad & Hinkle Food Market in Lexington, has kept the family business going along with his brother Lee, who also is a co-owner. Conrad & Hinkle was opened in 1919 by Jimbo’s grandfather, Odell

Shaukat Shah owns Trindale Foods in Trinity. Hinkle, and Walter Conrad. “Mr. Conrad was his father-inlaw,” Jimble Hinkle said. “They started in business together and lasted about a year together, and then my granddaddy bought him out. “We always liked to say that my granddaddy was so cheap that he didn’t want to change the signs to Hinkle, so he left it Conrad & Hinkle. It’s been that way for the past 90 years.” And after 90 years, Conrad & Hinkle still is a strong business. “I think it’s just offering a product at a fair price, good service and employees,” Jimbo Hinkle said. “We will try to get you what you want and exactly what you want.” Jimble Hinkle says the store’s meats keep the business strong – in addition to the store’s famous pimento cheese. “It’s the fresh meats, cut-to-order any way you want it.,” Hinkle said. “It’s the fresh local produce. We buy all the produce that we can. And our pimento cheese. We are famous for our pimento cheese. “Out of this little store, we probably sell a thousand pounds a week of the pimento cheese. We’ve had it shipped as far as

Alaska to Maine and all over the country.” Cedar Lodge Market and Conrad & Hinkle have became staples in their respective communities. “I’ve heard more than one person say, ‘You better stay open because I don’t know what I would do without my Conrad & Hinkle,’” Hinkle said. Shaukat Shah bought Trindale Foods in Trinity about three years ago. The store has been in operation for 25 years. Like Cedar Lodge Market and Conrad & Hinkle, Trindale Foods is “popular for its meats,” Shah said. “We have a special butcher who comes in every day and cuts every day fresh,” he said. “That’s why this store is still open.” For Trindale Foods, business dropped off in the middle of 2008, but it’s beginning to pick up, Shah said. “There is still opportunities for the small as long as they are working good and keep the prices down,” he said. “Some of my prices are still (lower) than the Wal-Mart. If some people want to be rich over night, they will lose the business.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

AP

A pump handle for E85 fuel is shown at a gas station in Albany, N.Y. A readersubmitted question about the availability of E85 fuel is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Questions concern soccer player and nationality, E85 fuel option Before you read...

The weekly “Ask AP” column is being discontinued after today’s edition. Though The High Point Enterprise has published the feature for several years, the Associated Press is ending it because of limited use nationally.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You see cars labeled “flex-fuel” all over American roads. So where are all the E85 fueling stations? That’s one of the questions in this final edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists have responded to readers’ questions about the news. A. Does FIFA require that all players representing a national soccer team be indigenous to that nation? In other words, are all the players on the U.S. team natives of America? The Ghana team members natives of Ghana? And so on? Tom Jeffs Edison, N.J. Q. While most players

do represent the country where they were born, some choose to play for another country. Often it’s because of family ties, or because they’ve spent most of their lives there. Former U.S. midfielder Tab Ramos, for example, was born in Uruguay but his family moved to the United States when he was 11. Under FIFA rules, a player with dual nationalities is free to switch countries at any age, as long as he hasn’t appeared in an official game — think World Cup or European championship — with a senior national team. Once you do make an appearance, you’re locked into playing for that country for the rest of your career. Nancy Armour AP National Writer Chicago A. I bought a new car in ’08 with an E85 option, and more than two years later, I still have not found the fuel in Florida. I see a lot of cars marked as flex-fuel — will this fuel ever become available, or is this just a way to sell cars? Dan Pelland Daytona Beach, Fla. Q. According to Growth Energy, a group that pro-

motes ethanol use, there are more than 2,000 E85 fueling stations in the U.S. Those stations, however, are concentrated in the Midwest, where corn growers and ethanol producers have pushed for them. Minnesota has the most pumps, with more than 350. There are a few ethanol stations near Daytona Beach, Fla., but they’re government-owned and not for public use. The closest public station isn’t all that close — it’s in Jacksonville, according to Growth Energy’s map, which can be found at http://www.e85fuel. com. In the last year, low gas prices have caused ethanol to lose its cost advantage, pushing down demand for the fuel. The U.S. ethanol industry also has been hurt by high corn prices and the credit crunch. Major producers such as South Dakota-based VeraSun Energy Corp. went bankrupt. But experts predict ethanol use will increase once the economic downturn ends and gas prices rise. U.S. automakers also have pledged to make half their vehicles flex-fuel-capable by 2012 if enough fueling stations sell E85. There are already more than 8 million flex-fuel vehicles on the road.

Poor have highest HIV infection MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

WINSTON-SALEM – A government study says poverty, rather than race, may be the leading factor in HIV-infection rates among inner-city heterosexuals. The report, from the U.S. Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention, suggests that HIV is epidemic in certain poverty-stricken urban areas. Poor heterosexuals in those neighborhoods were twice as likely to be infected as heterosexuals who lived in the same community but had more money.

Record hot car deaths in 2010 BY JOEL GERBER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

KINSTON – Leaving a child alone in a car for any period of time is too long, and doing so can have potentially fatal consequences. “As far as leaving them in the car, do not do it, not even for a minute,” said Kinston Police Department public information officer Woody Spencer. “There is no excuse for it; a child’s body can not handle heat stress like an adult can. The tem-

perature in a car is like an oven, and with the windows allowing sun in, temperatures rise very quickly.” On average, 35 to 40 children across the country die from heat exposure in vehicles each year. There have already been at least 21 such deaths in 2010 – the most in the first six months of the year since researchers began collecting data on the subject in 1998. According to the N.C. Department of Insurance, more than 450 children have died as a result of being left in hot cars.

In the past 12 years, at least 19 children in North Carolina have died from hyperthermia after being trapped in hot vehicles. This is the fifth highest total by state, behind only Texas, Arizona, California and Florida. “These deaths are preventable,” said Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, state chair of Safe Kids North Carolina. “A child should never be left unattended in a car, for any length of time or at any time of year. We need to work to reverse this tragic trend.”

Attorneys haggle over fishing tournament dispute BY JANNETTE PIPPIN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

MOREHEAD CITY – A legal dispute over the disqualification of the boat that landed a record catch at the 2010 Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament has stepped outside the courtroom as efforts continue to resolve the issue. Owners of the Hatteras-

based boat Citation and their attorney were to meet Friday with tournament officials and their attorney, said Andy W. Gay, an attorney with the Zebulon firm Gay, Jackson & McNally, which is representing the Citation. The meeting is not a court hearing but will be an opportunity for the Citation to present its case to the tournament and

potentially resolve the issue without further legal action. The Citation weighed in an 883-pound marlin on the opening day of last month’s tournament and was in position to win more than $900,000. But a banner day in the tournament turned into a controversy over the winning catch by the week’s end. After several days of

review, the tournament announced June 22 that the Citation had been disqualified. At the core of the decision was an alleged rule violation. According to the Big Rock complaint, a mate working on the Citation did not hold an active N.C. Coastal Recreational Fishing License at the time the Citation’s blue marlin was caught.

Stolen art fight ends in $19M settlement NEW YORK (AP) – A 12-year dispute that illustrated the difficulty of proving art was stolen by Nazis in World War II ended last week with an agreement that a 1912 oil painting entitled “Portrait of Wally” will be returned to a Vienna museum and displayed with

The painting has been the subject of court proceedings in New York City for 12 years. an acknowledgement that it was stolen from a Jewish art dealer by a Nazi agent. The settlement calls for the Leopold Museum to own the painting by Austrian expressionist Egon Schiele after paying $19 million to the estate of Lea Bondi Jaray and allowing it to be displayed for three weeks at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in lower Manhattan. The painting has been the subject of court proceedings in New York City since it was lent 12 years ago to the Museum of Modern Art in New York by the Leopold Museum. At least three times, a judge had ordered it returned to Austria without acknowledgement it had been stolen. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement that the settlement among the U.S. government, Jaray’s estate and the Leopold Museum “marks another small step toward justice for victims of property crimes during WWII.”

Ken Jacowitz, from Queens, N.Y., eats a serving of lobster bisque soup from the reopened Original SoupMan takeout restaurant in New York. “This is really good soup,” said Jacowitz, who was among about 100 people lined up for the reopening of the takeout that inspired the Soup Nazi character on “Seinfeld.”

Soup shop that inspired ‘Seinfeld’ episode reopens in NYC N

EW YORK (AP) – The bisque is back. The soup stand that inspired the Soup Nazi episode on “Seinfeld” reopened in midtown Manhattan last week, six years after its famously brusque owner, Al Yeganeh, shut it down and licensed his recipes to a franchising company. More than 100 people were waiting in line for the noon reopening of the tiny storefront, including a few regulars who remembered the days when Yeganeh ladled broth and imposed discipline from behind the cramped counter. Much about the shop was the same as in the days before “Seinfeld” made the place famous, including its strict ordering rules, now posted in nine languages. “THE LINE MUST BE KEPT MOVING. Pick the soup you want! Have your money ready! Move to the extreme left after ordering!” But some things are different. Yeganeh neither owns nor operates the

store now. Like other Original SoupMan stores around the country, it is a franchise, although company President Robert Bertrand said Yeganeh remains involved in the business. “He’s not going back there to dish out the soup, but he is still the heart of the company,” Bertrand said. “He still has a key. He handpicked the operator. His soups are his babies.” Soup in Yeganeh’s kitchen used to be made on the spot, with ingredients so fresh and abundant, the line often stretched around the corner. Now, they are produced in a commercial kitchen and available frozen in select grocery stores. They are also more expensive: An extralarge cup of the crab bisque costs $20. A small cup costs $7. But to some, the soup is splurge-worthy. “This line, this is normal,” said longtime Hell’s Kitchen resident Larry Cappelli, who arrived an hour early in hopes of

getting his first taste of the bisque in six years. “It’s awesome. I’ve waited in the rain. In the snow. It’s worth it.” Yeganeh, who has become media shy in recent years, stayed away from the grand reopening. In past interviews, he has dismissed the “Seinfeld” episode as an unfair character assassination, bristled at what he calls the N-word and ridiculed Jerry Seinfeld as “an idiot clown.” For this reason, customers at the Original SoupMan shouldn’t expect anyone to shout “No soup for you!” if they don’t move left after ordering. Indeed, some longtime fans of Yeganeh said the whole “Nazi” thing was overblown. “The guy worked like a dog. He didn’t charge enough for the soup. It was like, $2.50, a cup when he started,” recalled Mark Hoffman, whose company manages a building in the neighborhood. “And he was always a nice guy. Humble.”

What happens when Taylor Lautner comes to town? A

LLISON PARK, Pa. (AP) – The rumors started last spring. Girls at Hampton High School gathered around their lockers, debating whether it could be true: Was heartthrob Taylor Lautner, the sexy werewolf from the “Twilight” movies, actually coming to their school to shoot a movie? Amber Beemer, finishing her junior year, was skeptical. Things like this don’t happen in Hampton, she says. Her little sister Kaylee, a freshman, put it this way: “We’re really not that popular.” But soon location scouts were poking around classrooms, making notes for the filming of “Abduction,” a thriller in which Lautner’s character discovers his own photo on a list of missing persons. He was really coming. Lautner, for the uninitiated, is an 18-year-old actor with the exact blend of boyish sweetness and rippling muscles that can leave teenage girls speechless.

His “Twilight” character, Jacob Black, is both deeply sensitive and capable of tearing limbs off bad guys. Lautner In the world of fan magazines and celebrity websites, he is a prized commodity. Girls at Hampton High have daydreamed about Lautner in these classrooms. Now he would sit in these rooms himself, walk these hallways, wrestle in this gym. He would film at their school for just two days but remain in suburban Pittsburgh all summer. Whose locker might he open? Whose homeroom would he hang out in? Senior Vicki Reitlinger heard Lautner would film in the art classroom and reasoned that since she’s taken lots of art classes, “he has to sit in a chair I sat in.” She can’t explain why that means so much. But it does. For teenagers, especially

in a prosperous suburb like this one barely 10 miles from downtown Pittsburgh, life is all about possibility. What will you be someday? Who will you fall in love with? More to the point: Who will fall in love with you? Could he be handsome and famous and fresh from the cover of “Tiger Beat”? At Hampton, if you weren’t going to be in the movie, you knew someone who was. The cheerleaders, dance drill team and marching band were hired as extras. In the movie, Lautner’s school will have the same name, same colors, same mascot as theirs. Wrestling team members were cast as Lautner’s fictional teammates and opponents. Students spoke reverently about the fact that their math teacher and wrestling coach, Joe Bursick, a Hampton grad, would train Lautner for the movie and appear in it. “My guys are pretty excited,” Bursick said of his team. “Even some who graduated

A sheet with “Welcome Taylor!” printed in enormous letters was draped over a fence outside the school. By late morning, as a crane hovered above and bright lights drew their eyes to filming in the cafeteria, about 100 girls (and, yes, women) had arranged lawn chairs and blankets to watch the making of this movie as

though it were, well, a movie. It got better. Lautner shot a scene right there in the parking lot. Riding a motorcycle. Wearing tight jeans. He even blew a few kisses to the crowd between takes (cue screaming). And at 6 p.m., this impossibly cute object of their affection walked toward them. He began signing autographs and posing for photos, but as the crowd surged a young girl got knocked down. Within minutes, he was whisked away in a black Escalade.

HINEBECK, N.Y. (AP) – “I cannot disclose,” says the caterer. “We’re not really speaking,” says the restaurant manager. “I can’t say anything myself,” says the bartender. “No comment,” says the hotel receptionist. And so it goes on a walk through Rhinebeck, N.Y., a charming town on the Hudson dotted with galleries, boutiques, upscale restaurants and well-hidden mansions, one of which – we’re pretty sure – will host the most anticipated wedding of many a summer: that of Chelsea Clinton and her investment banker beau, Marc Mezvinsky. Not that the town isn’t abuzz over the grand event, presumed to be taking place on Saturday, though even that generally agreed-

Petition seeks to have wolves howl across US BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) – Tens of thousands of gray wolves would be returned to the woods of New England, the mountains of California, the wide open Great Plains and the desert West under a scientific petition filed last week with the federal government. The predators were poisoned and trapped to near-extermination in the United States last century, but have since clawed their way back to some of the most remote wilderness in the lower 48 states. That recovery was boosted in the 1990s by the reintroduction of 66 wolves in Idaho and Yellowstone National Park. Yet as those first packs have flourished, increased livestock killings and declining big game herds have drawn sharp backlash from ranchers, hunters and officials in the Northern Rockies. But biologists with the Arizona-based Center for Biological Diversity want to expand that recovery across the country. A few isolated pockets of wolves, they say, are not enough.

upon detail could be a ruse, some conspiracy-minded townspeople warn. It’s just that anyone with any role in the event clearly C. Clinton has decided, or been told, not to speak – including the bride’s own mother, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who very diplomatically told NBC News: “I am under very strict orders not to talk about it.” And so it’s left to people like Regina Caridi, manager of a small, high-end clothes boutique in the town center, to merely speculate. “I’ve heard it’s happening at Astor Courts,” Caridi said last week, echoing a widely held assumption that Clinton and her intended have chosen the jewel of a grand nearby estate, totally hidden from prying eyes along River Road. The building – designed by renowned architect Stanford White for John Jacob Astor IV, the early 20th century millionaire who died

when the Titanic went down – had recently been on sale for $12 million, local real estate agents say. But it was taken off the market, undoubtedly to keep away curious folks with no intention of buying. Rhinebeck, a town of about 8,000 an easy two-hour drive from New York City, may not be the most obvious choice for a wedding of American political royalty – as would, say, Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod or the Hamptons – but it makes sense for the Clintons. Bill and Hillary Clinton live just under 75 miles away in Chappaqua, N.Y., and have passed through a number of times. A framed newspaper article documenting their lunch at the Beekman Arms, said to be the oldest operating inn in America, sits in the hotel lobby, but don’t try asking about anything Clinton at the reception desk, where friendly hotel workers simply smile sympathetically and say “No comment.” (Yes, the hotel is sold out that weekend.)
