Commercial real estate continues its struggle
Teresa Jo Styles, a professor in the department of journalism and mass communication at North Carolina A&T State University, participated in the Edelman New Media Academic Summit, co-hosted by New York University and Syracuse University.

HIGH POINT – An activity increase in the commercial real estate market may not be translating into closed sales or signed leases, but real estate agents say they’ll take it. The commercial and industrial real estate sector is continuing its own struggle this summer as residential real estate is exiting a year of improved sales attributed to the federal government’s homebuyer tax credit program. The lack of jobs, funding for new businesses and even the sweepstakes ban that will take effect Dec. 1, however, are expected to contribute to another long, stagnant year for commercial property. “We saw a lot of activity in the beginning of the year,” said Mark Lindsay, broker in charge at The Skeen Group in High Point. “By activity, I mean a lot of people looking for leases rather than buying. But a lot of them are just looking and don’t want to do anything for another six months or so.” The activity is an improvement, and Lindsay said he

Some say the statewide ban on online sweepstakes machines will deal a blow to the commercial property market. has seen some entrepreneurs who want to start new businesses in the area. But being approved for a loan to start the business has been a problem for some, while others are taking their time by shopping around for the most inexpensive property. Calvin Reynolds, owner of W. Calvin Reynolds & Associates Inc., said the increased activity is a good sign, but
it can also lead to false hope at times. He cites Apixir Pharma Sciences, what was supposed to be a start-up pharmaceutical and biotech firm, as an example. The city approved up to $35,000 in economic incentives if the company made High Point its home, but principals involved announced last week that plans to formulate the company had dissolved.
“A lot of this volatility will be repeated,” Reynolds said. “They’re going to come and go for a while. In my opinion, (the real estate market) just won’t ever be what it used to be.” Also, online sweepstakes cafes have popped up in many office and retail spaces across the city. The statewide ban going into place Dec. 1 will deal another blow to the commercial property market
with which the industry will have to cope, Lindsay said. “Those businesses are taking up vacant space, paying their rent and creating an income for themselves,” he said. “All of the buildings who have these tenants are going to be stuck with more vacant buildings, which is what we don’t need.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Seven arrested in cockfighting bust BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
RANDOLPH COUNTY – Seven people, including two from High Point, face charges after authorities in Randolph County busted an alleged cockfighting
operation over the weekend. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, Asheboro Police Department, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, the Randolph County Health Department and the Humane Society of the United States executed a
search warrant Saturday at 7405 U.S. 64 West after receiving information about illegal cockfighting at that location. When officers arrived, people started fleeing the scene. Some suspects were detained at the site, but two managed to get away. Of-
ficers arrested seven people at the scene and seized three firearms, one of which had been reported stolen, as well as an undisclosed amount of cash. A large amount of marijuana

For the first six months of this year, passenger boardings are off 9.8 percent at Piedmont Triad International Airport.
GREENSBORO – Piedmont Triad International Airport officials continue to seek new and expanded passenger service while still coping with declining traffic this year. PTIA Executive Director Ted Johnson was in Atlanta last week speaking with representatives of a carrier, though Johnson said Tuesday he couldn’t elaborate. However, Johnson said PTIA officials consistently reach out to airlines about service. “We go all over the place chasing these airlines,” Johnson said Tuesday afternoon following the monthly meeting of the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority. Airport officials have had conversations with representatives of three to four airlines in the past two to three months and may communicate with up to three more airlines by the end of the year, he said.
FLIGHTS
–
Piedmont Triad International Airport currently is served by seven airlines providing 66 daily flights to 16 airports along the East Coast and in the South and Midwest. The two carriers with the greatest number of flights to and from PTIA are USAirways and Delta.
Authority Chairman Henry Issacson said Delta should replace its 50-seat regional jets serving PTIA from HartsfieldJackson Atlanta International Airport with larger jets in the near future. PTIA doesn’t have a time frame yet on the changeover, Issacson said. PTIA, which currently has 66 daily flights, has struggled with flight totals because of the recession, restructuring in the airline industry and competition from two, nearby larger facilities, Raleigh-Durham International Air-

Airport continues search for greater passenger service BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

port and Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. For the first six months of this year, passenger boardings are off 9.8 percent, down from 428,465 passengers through June last year to 386,664 through June this year. Some members of High Point City Council recently have questioned whether the airport is turning its focus away from passenger service to freight with the addition of the FedEx Corp. cargo hub. FedEx opened its latest national cargo hub at PTIA a little more than a year ago. Johnson said PTIA remains committed to expanding passenger service. Rather than hurting that cause, FedEx will assist with it in the long term, he said. As the hub draws in more industry to take advantage of the overnight sorting operation, business growth would generate potential demand for PTIA passenger service, Johnson said.

Planners tackle zoning, sandwich board signs the presence of A-frame signs, commonly referred to as sandwich board signs, popping up on sidewalks and in front of stores in the Uptowne area on N. Main Street. The commission voted 5-2 to favorably recommend regulations for the signs to be displayed in the Uptowne area and furniture market showroom district only. According to the regulations, signs must be portable and removed from the sidewalk each night. They cannot exceed six square feet in size, be attached to permanent fixtures such as telephone poles, be lit or have windblown devices such as balloons attached to them. Also, due to safety concerns, they cannot be displayed in the showroom district during the High Point Market. Owners of the signs must also prove that they have appropriate insurance to cover any accidents caused by the signs, such as blowing into the street. Cynthia Davis, who recently joined the commission, voted against the regulations because

HIGH POINT – The High Point Planning and Zoning Commission approved several rezoning cases Tuesday night related to revitalization efforts in the city. The commission favorably recommended the rezoning of about 20 acres along Graves Avenue in the Washington Terrace Neighborhood so that High Point’s Community Development and Housing Department, in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity, could continue redevelopment efforts in the area. Mike McNair, director of the housing department, said developers ran into problems with lot sizes under 7,000 square feet, which is too small to build new houses on under current zoning restrictions. “The homes are primarily being built by Habitat and are designed to be affordable to lower income folks,” said McNair. “They’re very nice homes we’re building.” The commission also tackled

she said it was unfair to allow the signs to be displayed in the Uptowne area but not in other areas of the city. “The signs are intended to be in pedestrian areas,” said Lee Burnette, director of the planning department. “There are other provisions to address signs in other parts of the city, such as on private property.” “Regulating these signs on a citywide level would be almost impossible,” added commission member Martha Shepherd. Commission member Jim White also voted against the regulations after lengthy discussion because he said the rules were too complicated. “We’ve almost failed to keep it simple,” he said. “The fact that we’ve discussed this for 30 or 40 minutes says this is too complex.” Both cases will go before the City Council on Aug. 16 at 5:30 p.m. in city hall.
WINSTON-SALEM – Winston-Salem is among the country’s Top 20 most livable cities for people living with paralysis, according to a list compiled by the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. The foundation released the list today in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Ameri-

NC police standoff ends with armed man shot dead WILMINGTON (AP) – North Carolina investigators have been called to find out what happened after an eight-hour standoff with Wilmington police ended with a gun-wielding man shot to death. Police said they stormed the house early Tuesday after an exchange of gunfire with a 40-year-old man who had shut himself inside. Police say they found the man dead of an apparent gunshot wound. The State Bureau of Investigation has been called in to investigate. The agency usually investigates shootings involving law enforcement officers. Police say they were called to the house Monday night after relatives said the man was damaging property inside and that he had a gun. Police said the man was seen walking between rooms with a shotgun over his shoulder and a rifle in his hand.

MS-13 gang member sentenced to die for NC killings CHARLOTTE (AP) – A member of a notorious international gang was sentenced to death Tuesday for killing two brothers at a North Carolina restaurant in 2007, providing prosecutors their biggest victory yet in a crackdown on the MS-13 enterprise. U.S. District Judge Robert J.
Conrad Jr. imposed the death penalty on Alejandro Enrique Ramirez Umana, 25, a few months after a jury recommended that sentence. He is the first member of the MS-13 gang to be sentenced to death in the United States. A federal jury convicted Umana in April on charges related
to the murders of Ruben Garcia Salinas and his brother, Manuel Garcia Salinas. Witnesses testified that Umana shot the men at a Greensboro restaurant after they disrespected Umana’s gang signs by calling them fake. “The death penalty in this case is fair, just, and merited,” U.S. Attorney Anne M. Tompkins
said in a statement. Federal executions are rare. The last one occurred in 2003, and only three have occurred since the 1960s. There are several dozen people on federal death row. Umana was charged as part of a 2008 sweep of the MS-13 gang that led to an indictment of 26 people.

France declares war against al-Qaida PARIS – France has declared war on al-Qaida, and matched its fighting words with a first attack on a base camp of the terror network’s North African branch, after the terror network killed a French aid worker it took hostage in April. The declaration and attack marked a shift in strategy for France, usually discrete about its behind-thescenes battle against terrorism. “We are at war with al-Qaida,� Prime Minister Francois Fillon said Tuesday, a day after President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the death of 78-year-old hostage Michel Germaneau.
Iran: Nuke talks to restart despite conditions TEHRAN, Iran – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that talks with the major powers over Iran’s disputed nuclear program will start in early September regardless of the conditions he set earlier last month. The interview, aired late Monday night by the state-owned English language Press TV, is the latest in a series of announcements by Iran of its willingness to talk about nuclear issues.
Israel, Jordan leaders discuss peace talks AMMAN, Jordan – In a surprise visit to Amman on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to mobilize Jordan’s King Abdullah II in his effort to persuade the Palestinians to resume direct peace talks, though the chief Palestinian negotiator again rejected the idea. Netanyahu’s trip came after a Palestinian document, obtained Monday by The Associated Press, noted President Barack Obama’s envoy is also pressing Palestinians to restart direct peace negotiations with Israel.

The two Navy personnel went missing Friday in the eastern province of Logar, after an armored sport utility vehicle was seen driving into a Talibanheld area.

Germany plans memorial for festival victims BERLIN – A memorial service will be held for the 20 people crushed to death in a mass panic at the Love Parade techno festival, German officials said Tuesday, as hundreds of people lit candles, left notes and placed flowers at the site of the tragedy. People in the western German city of Duisburg gathered to express their grief near where the victims died and 500 others were injured in a jammed tunnel that was the lone entry to the annual festival.

Gulf flow has stopped, but where’s the oil? NEW ORLEANS (AP) – In the nearly two weeks since a temporary cap stopped BP’s gusher at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, not much oil has been showing up on the surface of the water. Scientists caution that doesn’t mean the crude is gone. There’s still a lot of it in the Gulf, though no one is sure quite how much or exactly where it is. “You know it didn’t just disappear,” said Ernst Peebles, a biological oceanographer at the
University of South Florida. “We expect that it has been dispersed pretty far by now.” Jane Lubchenco, the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said government and independent scientists have been working hard to figure out where the oil might be, but don’t yet have numbers. Some is still washing up on beaches and in coastal wetlands, but not in the quantities it was a few weeks ago.

scrambles to repair any political damage to the war effort in Congress and among the American public by the WikiLeaks revelations, there are also growing concerns that some U.S. allies abroad may ask whether they can trust America to keep secrets, officials said. Meanwhile, the top U.S. mili-
DA probes voter fraud allegations in California city It was only one of several allegations the district attorney is looking into in the city where three top officials resigned last week after it was disclosed they were being paid salaries totaling about $1.6 million a year. “We do have a full investigation on several fronts,” Robison said. She declined to elaborate. On Monday, state Attorney General Jerry Brown announced his own investigation, saying he had subpoenaed hundreds of city records.

BELL, Calif. (AP) – Investigations involving the high pay of leaders in this bluecollar city intensified Tuesday as prosecutors said they were looking into allegations of voter fraud and the state’s chief fiscal officer announced he would conduct an audit of spending. District attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison said her office was looking into claims that off-duty Bell police officers were recruited to distribute absentee ballots in last year’s election and tell people which candidates to vote for.

GUEST COLUMN: Don’t let other countries set our rules. TOMORROW

Pitts offers right answer, wrong reason Recently Leonard Pitts Jr. wrote a column about the War on Drugs, declaring “drugs won.” Truer words were never spoken. Richard Nixon knew Prohibition didn’t work when he declared the war. We definitely need a better answer quickly. We are losing communities, generations, borders and neighboring countries because of the war. However, Pitts’ justification for a big change in the War on Drugs based on blacks unequally persecuted by the justice system is worn out and full of holes. We live in a highly litigious era in which literally thousands of attorneys salivate over every racial injustice and have become adept at creating slights where none existed. If there are disproportionate numbers of blacks in prison today, either there is some other reason besides racism or the NAACP and the ACLU are completely inept. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “I

have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Maybe, just maybe, the content of their character is what gets most folks into prison, no matter what their skin color. But then, it’s much more difficult to be a perpetual victim when the issue is your character, instead of your skin color. Using Pitts’ rationale of equal percentages based upon skin color, one would expect the police telephone operator to tell the crime victim, “I’m sorry, sir, but we have already arrested more blacks than whites this month. Please call back next month.” What would Pitts say if he really got his wish? THOMAS COREY High Point
Peter is out of money, Paul is worse off Has it ever occurred to anyone how most Christians saw through Obama and his change? Just as the devil looks after his own, God does the same for his followers. The promises of Obama unfortunately fell on well-meaning people who were desperate to save their homes. They have started to see that Peter is out of money so Paul is worse off than ever. The Muslims want the mosque near the site of the World Trade Center towers and have seen our weakness as the Mexicans have. In all probability, it will be built. You certainly won’t get any complaints from our president. I think he is playing his role
very well. (God out, government control in.) Please think about this in November and let’s start to weed out those stink weeds. It’s now or never to take back our country. It starts with you. For those who were made fools of by this man. You can turn things around to what our forefathers started. Don’t let once a fool, always a fool be applied to you. DAVE R. CECIL Trinity

Risky loans bring woes
e hope you didn’t miss the welcome “moving forward” news for a couple of High Point-based nonprofits last week. Zaki Khalifa (Zaki Oriental Rugs) has donated a 6,000-square-wfoot building at 792 N. Main St. to High Point Community Against Violence, giving Executive Director Jim Summey and a full-time staffer hired by America Works a larger, much more visible site for stepping up HPCAV’s mission to help violent offenders find and keep jobs. The partnership currently is working with more than two dozen ex-offenders on job searches and, once they are placed, will follow up to make sure the arrangements work. Meanwhile, Christi Morgan, chairwoman of High Point Community Theatre, announced that group is getting back on track, working hard to clear its $40,000 debt, prepare for the 2010-11 main season – four productions – in addition to two Kids Stage shows and the Summer Repertory Youth Theatre as it tries to recover from financial difficulties that forced eliminating its sole paid position of executive director last spring. Good luck to both moving forward.

id you read the story about General Motors Co. buying AmeriCredit Corp. for $35 billion so it can expand loans to customers with poor credit and offer more leases? The Associated Press report reported “the acquisition of the independent auto financing company also means that GM, which is 61 percent owned by the U.S. government, is getting back into the business of making risky loans.” What a dumb idea! Why should you care? It’s your tax dollars – remember the bailouts – at risk here. Surely you recall that, less than two years ago, we were embroiled in a financial meltdown blamed, in a large part, on people with poor or no credit buying homes they couldn’t afford, with banks and finance companies loaning money to people who couldn’t pay it back (and to some who never intended to pay it back). GM merely is substituting vehicles for houses in the equation. Apparently Government Motors forgot to look in the rear-view mirror before pulling away from the curb in this jalopy.

Economic central planning simply is a bad idea
M
any of the wonderful-sounding ideas that have been tried as government policies have failed disastrously. Because so few people bother to study history, often the same ideas and policies have been tried again, either in another country or in the same country at a later time – and with the same disastrous results. One of the ideas that has proved to be almost impervious to evidence is the idea that wise and far-sighted people need to take control and plan economic and social policies so that there will be a rational and just order, rather than chaos resulting from things being allowed to take their own course. It sounds so logical and plausible that demanding hard evidence would seem almost like nit-picking. In one form or another, this idea goes back at least as far as the French Revolution in the 18th century. As J.A. Schumpeter later wrote of that era, “general well-being ought to have been the consequence,” but “instead we find misery, shame and, at the end of it all, a stream of blood.” The same could be said of the Bolshevik Revolution and other revolutions of the 20th century. The idea that the wise and knowledgeable few need to take control of the less wise and less knowledgeable many has taken milder forms-and repeatedly with bad results as well. One of the most easily documented examples has been economic central planning, which was tried in countries around the world at various times during the 20th century, among people of differing races and cultures, and under government ranging from democracies to dictatorships. The people who ran central planning agencies usually had more advanced education than the population at large, and probably higher IQs as well. The central planners also had far more statistics and other facts at their disposal than the average person had. Moreover, there were usually specialized experts such as economists and statisticians on the staffs of the central planners, and outside consultants were available when needed. Finally, the central planners had the power of government behind them, to enforce the plans they created. It is hardly surprising that conservatives, such as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in Britain and President Ronald Reagan in the United States, opposed this approach. What is
remarkable is that, after a few decades of experience with central planning in some countries, or a few generations in others, even communists and socialists began to repudiate this approach. As they replaced central planOPINION ning with more reliance on markets, their countries’ economic Thomas growth rate almost invariably Sowell increased, often dramatically. ■■■ In the largest and most recent examples – China and India – people by the millions have risen above these countries’ official poverty rates, after they freed their economies from many of their suffocating government controls. China, where famines have repeatedly ravaged the country, now has a problem of obesity – not a good thing in itself, but a big improvement over famines. This has implications far beyond economics. Think about it: How was it even possible that transferring decisions from elites with more education, intellect, data and power to ordinary people could lead consistently to demonstrably better results? One implication is that no one is smart enough to carry out social engineering, whether in the economy or in other areas where the results may not always be so easily quantifiable. We learn, not from our initial brilliance, but from trial and error adjustments to events as they unfold. Science tells us that the human brain reaches its maximum potential in early adulthood. Why then are young adults so seldom capable of doing what people with more years of experience can do? Because experience trumps brilliance. Elites may have more brilliance, but those who make decisions for society as a whole cannot possibly have as much experience as the millions of people whose decisions they pre-empt. The education and intellects of the elites may lead them to have more sweeping presumptions, but that just makes them more dangerous to the freedom, as well as the wellbeing, of the people as a whole.

Handwritten letters tell a lot about people in love
FOUR VIEWS

ecently my grandmother passed away. Going through the things in her house, my family found many items that stirred up old memories: the heavy iron stove and tea set with which my sister and I “cooked� and “served� for hours on end; the plethora of yarn, crochet hooks and knitting needles I watched Grandma use; the old typewriter which endured the grandchildren’s banging during family gatherings. We found hundreds, if not thousands, of old pictures and cards tucked away. From among all these treasures, someone had found and set aside a pile of tattered love letters my grandfather sent to my grandmother many years ago. The first ones were sent in 1941 when Grandma was about 18 and Grandpa about 22. My sister and I took them in delight and started to read. “My darling Mary; good evening honey, and how’s my sweetheart tonight?� Though the handwriting was nearly unintelligible, the thoughts it framed were clearly consumed with love. Each word opened up a window for us to see the young man who became our grandfather. Through his descriptions of his daily life we learned that Grandpa saw humor wherever he looked: many of his sentences ended with a laugh – “Ha� (the equivalent of “haha� in today’s texting world). He was sensitive: “A moonlit night is really a thing of beauty to me. Guess I’m moonstruck.� His love was unconditional: he closed the subject of my grandma’s dropping out of school with the pledge, “I love you, Mary, education or no education.� He knew how to melt a girl’s heart: “I bet you’re lovely as all get out. Wish I could reach out and touch you. Could I, if you were here?�
All these romantic writings and honeyed phrases, the ones that make their receivers “ooh� and “aw,� are best presented in love letters. TEEN VIEW Words exchanged via text and FaceJulie book can’t be held Fox close, or stuffed ■■■away in a secret stash, or read by flashlight at night. Typed words lack a unique handwriting that makes every symbol special. (Although in the case of my Grandpa, a typewriter would have made reading the words much easier. Ha.) Sure, modern communication is great for sweethearts when times are lonely. But as written letters fade away, I can’t help but think we’re losing something special. It’s unfortunate that future generations won’t have the letters from their parents and grandparents to pore over. Letters have an air of permanence, while texts and e-mails are so easily and often deleted. I’m thankful for the glimpse of the past that these letters have offered me – a glimpse I never would have gotten if my Grandpa had Skyped my grandma while she was several states away. Who knows? Maybe I’ll keep the tradition alive with a beau of mine in the future. It’ll give my kids and grandkids something to remember me by. (Pictures are great keepsakes too, especially if they record someone as handsome as my Grandpa – I can see why Grandma fell in love with him!)

Rangel, ethics panel lawyers talking settlement

A car accident on July 18 killed Marlena Cantu (left) and left Abby Guerra (right) in critical condition.
Dad cites miscommunication at hospital for ID mix-up PHOENIX (AP) – The father of one of two women misidentified after a deadly Arizona traffic crash says the problem stemmed from a communication mistake at a Phoenix hospital. Frank Cantu said Monday the hospital correctly identified the woman in critical condition following the July 18 crash – but then notified the
wrong family. He said St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center used information provided by the families to determine it was 19-year-old Abby Guerra who survived the wreck, not his 21-year-old daughter, Marlena Cantu. But he said hospital staff mistakenly came to him and said the hospitalized woman was his daughter.
“They talked to the wrong person,� he said. Frank Cantu said Guerra was then assumed to be the woman who died at the scene. Earlier Monday, the hospital’s vice president of external affairs, Suzanne Pfister, said it was difficult to identify the woman who was hospitalized because she was badly injured.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Former committee chairman Rep.

Lofgren, D-Calif. She said she is not involved in the talks, adding that the committee’s lawmakers have always accepted the professional staff’s recommendations in previous plea bargains.

Rep. Charles Rangel, DN.Y., is making a lastminute effort to prevent a trial. Earlier negotiations broke down when Rangel would only admit to some allegations – not enough to satisfy the ethics committee lawyers.

Archdale OKs pedestrian plan BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
ARCHDALE – Updates to Archdale’s Pedestrian Network Plan have been approved by the Archdale City Council. The City Council on Tuesday night voted unanimously to approve the updates to the plan, following a motion from Councilman Lewis Dorsett. The plan, which includes updates for planned sidewalks and greenways in the city, also was approved unanimously by the city’s Planning and Zoning Board.
Man faces charges in thefts
According to Jeff Wells, the city’s planning and zoning director, the city’s comprehensive plan states every few years the plan will be evaluated and updated to ensure the plan remains current based on conditions that may have changed over the years. Before the updates, the pedestrian map planned for 26 miles of sidewalk and 13 miles of greenway trail. City staff worked with the planning board in work sessions on several minor updates to the plan, according to Wells.
“I appreciate staff’s work on it and looking ahead on it because these get used,” Dorsett said. “People walk. They use these sidewalks. It’s one of the better things we have done, and it has taken several years, but it will get better.” A total of 8 miles of sidewalk and one-half of a mile of greenway have been added to the city’s plan. The updates to the plan include continuing installing sidewalks along U.S. 311 from Suits Road to the extent of the city’s extra-territorial jurisdiction, in addition to side-
walks along School Road to Trinity Road to provide connectivity to Trinity’s greenway planned for the Braxton Craven Road area. A sidewalk also is proposed for Aldridge Road between S. Main Street and Rand Boulevard for connectivity to the city’s Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation lot. The updates to the plan also propose additional connectivity for the Goodman Street/Luck Drive sidewalk between Main Street and Archdale Road and Gregg Street/ Lane Drive sidewalk be-
tween Main Street, Archdale Road and Tom Hill Road. According to Wells, a Park Drive sidewalk is proposed to provide a safe walking path along Park Drive between the city’s recreation center and senior center. A greenway also is planned to connect the Forest Hills subdivision with multi-family uses along N.C. 62. City officials hope development activity and grants will allow for the greenways and sidewalks to be completed. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Thomasville man has been charged with property crimes after sheriff’s deputies investigated reported vehicle break-ins. The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office Breaking & Entering Task Force began an investigation Friday into a report that someone had broken into two cars parked at a home on E. Holly Grove Road outside Thomasville a few days earlier. A digital camera and money were reported stolen. Investigators developed a suspect after the camera was recovered. Arrest warrants were drawn on Taylor Adam Robinette, who was taken into custody without incident by deputies. Robinette, 18, of Harvest Drive, Thomasville, was charged with two counts of felonious breaking and entering a motor vehicle and two misdemeanor counts of larceny from a motor vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office. Robinette was booked into the Davidson County Jail under a $15,000 bond and has an appearance scheduled for Aug. 19 in Davidson County District Court. In an unrelated case, detectives filed charges against two people after investigating an incident in which a 2-yearold child was struck ATV driven by a juvenile on July 19 on Prevette Road outside Lexington, deputies said. Melanie Elizabeth Campbell, 22, and Auburn Cartrette, 67, were charged with contributing to the delinquency of the juvenile who was driving the ATV under the neglect clause in the statute, according to the sheriff’s office. Cartrette was issued a written promise to appear in Davidson County District Court Aug. 18. Campbell was given a $2,500 bond and has a court appearance scheduled for the same date.

United Way celebrates birthday, presents awards at annual meeting BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The United Way of Greater High Point celebrated two special occasions at its annual meeting Tuesday – a successful ending to a difficult year and its 75th birthday. The umbrella organization for area nonprofits was founded as the Community Chest in 1935, according to its annual report, which also was released at the meeting at the High Point Country Club. Since its inception, it has raised $189 million, said Randy Bodd, 2010 campaign chair. Pamela Palmer, 2009 president of the board of directors, said the nonprofit had faced many challenges in terms of raising money and providing services to partner agencies in strained economic conditions in the last year, but had emerged triumphantly. It ended its annual campaign in March just $163,000 short of its $4.5 million goal. “This last year has certainly been challenging, but we have many things to be proud of and thankful for,” Palmer said. The following awards also were presented at the event: • The 2009-10 Chairman’s Award to Leah Price, 2009 United Way campaign chair, for her “spirit, energy, inspiration and commitment.” • The Jack and Marsha Slane 2009 Child Advocate of the Year award to the Junior League of High Point and the High Point Museum for collaborative efforts

Actor Maury Chaykin is shown in a scene from the HBO original series, “Entourage.�
Canadian actor Maury Chaykin dies at age 61 TORONTO (AP) – Canadian actor Maury Chaykin has died at age 61, his manager said Tuesday. Paul Hemrend said Chaykin died at a Toronto hospital surrounded by family early Tuesday morning – the day of his birthday. Mark McKinney, who produced Chaykin’s most recent series, the HBO Canada sitcom “Less Than Kind,� said the veteran actor died after battling kidney problems. “He was one of our greatest actors,� said
McKinney, adding that the cast was devastated by the death. “Maury’s an actor of unparalleled gifts, you cannot learn what he had in spades – you could study for 1,000 years. He had an incredible gift, an instant quickness.� Chaykin had roles in “Dances With Wolves,� “The Postman,� “Owning Mahoney,� “Mystery, Alaska,� “A Life Less Ordinary,� and “The Adjuster.� He has also been in the TV shows “C.S.I.,� “Boston Legal,� the HBO series “Entourage.� His acting career spans 35 years.
NC still in the hunt for federal education grants RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina is still in the running to claim a share of billions of dollars the U.S. Education Department is offering to improve schools. North Carolina is one of 18 states and the District of Columbia named finalists on Tuesday in the second round of the federal “Race to the Top� school reform grant competition. The states are angling for a chance to win a share of $3 billion. North Carolina missed out in March when Tennessee and Delaware won $600 million in grants to improve failing schools in the first round of competition for the “Race to the
State is 37th in child well-being study RALEIGH (AP) – An annual report finds North Carolina isn’t improving on keeping teenagers in school and children from living in single-parent households. The Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 2010 Kids Count Data Book released Tuesday ranks North Carolina 37th for overall children’s health and well-being, the same position as last year but up from No. 45 in 2003. The study shows 20 percent of North Carolina children lived in poverty in 2008.
Top.� Two months ago, Gov. Beverly Perdue and the General Assembly changed state law to adopt federal guidelines on how local school districts could retool lowperforming schools. “To be selected as one of only 19 finalists out of a pool of 41 is tremendous recognition of the work we are doing here in North Carolina to ensure that all of our children have access to the best possible public education,� Perdue said. Perdue said the state was among the first to adopt adherence to a common national standard for what children are taught in core subjects.

NC’s Senate candidates wealthy, but not that rich RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s candidates for U.S. Senate this year are well-off financially by most measures, but their net worths are small-time in comparison to their peers. Burr and his wife, Brooke, reported assets of between $1.3 million and $2.1 million in a filing with the Secretary of the Senate office, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday. His 2009 salary as a U.S. senator was $174,000. His wife reported earning between $50,000 and $100,000 from a Winston-Salem real estate firm. The couple owe a mortgage of between $250,000 and $500,000 on a Capitol Hill residence. Candidates are not required to report the value of their personal residences or their automobiles. Marshall reported assets between $817,000 and $2.1 million. Her salary as North Carolina secre-
tary of state was $123,198 in 2009. She reported no liabilities. Their wealth isn’t close to some of the richest senators. They include Herb Kohl, D-Wisc., who is worth an average of $214 million; Mark Warner, D-Va., at $209 million; and John Kerry, D-Mass., at $208 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based group that tracks the influence of money. North Carolina’s junior senator, Democrat Kay Hagan, reported a net worth of between $2.8 million and $31.6 million in 2008, according to the center. North Carolina has had some very rich senators, including Democrat John Edwards, and Republicans Lauch Faircloth and Jim Broyhill. Burr and Marshall don’t have enough to tap their personal wealth to finance their campaigns,
said Tom Eamon, an East Carolina University political science professor and author of an upcoming book on the state’s politics. Though Marshall loaned her campaign $71,500 last year, both candidates will have to rely on raising money, Eamon said. Burr was national sales manager for Carswell Distributing before entering politics. He served 10 years in the U.S. House and the last five years in the Senate. Among his major assets were a residence and rental property on Capitol Hill valued at between $500,000 and $1 million and two financial accounts valued at between $50,000 to $100,000 each. Marshall was a teacher, small business owner and attorney before being elected secretary of state in 1996. She received a $24,000 survivor benefit last year after her husband died from cancer.
Woman with cancer shouldn’t waste time
D
ear Abby: My 89-year-old mother has always been difficult. She not only never loved me, she treated me as if she didn’t like me, either. She told me she didn’t send me a birthday card on my birthday last month because “What was it supposed to say – what a ‘wonderful’ person you are?� My children visibly winced when they heard her say it and worked extra-hard to make sure my day was special. Abby, I have cancer. My prognosis is questionable. I was supposed to have been dead seven years ago – but I’m managing. My problem is, I recently was told that my mother has been keeping in touch with a single friend of mine from years ago, and they are making plans for her to marry my husband when I die! A few other so-called “friends� are in on this. This last betrayal is incredibly hurtful. Where do I go from here? – J.C. in California
I was recently looking at the history on my Web browser after he had been there, ADVICE and I noticed that Dear Patrick Abby had been ■■■visiting free porn sites and chat rooms on my computer. I am disappointed that he has been looking at pornography and that he has put my computer at risk for viruses, etc. Should I talk to his parents? To him? Or should I ignore it and disable my computer when he visits? – Grandma On Alert
Dear J.C.: Where do you go from here? As far away from your toxic mother as possible – and on to a long, and hopefully complete, remission!
Dear Abby: I am 20, newly married and very happy with my new husband. I didn’t tell my father when I got married; he just found out. When I moved out four months ago to live with my fiance and his parents, I also didn’t tell Dad I was engaged. Dad called me to ask if

it was true that I had gotten married. Of course I said yes, and he got very angry. He asked if I was pregnant and I told him no. Then he wished me luck with my husband, said we were on our own now, and he would be out of my life! Abby, I have always been a daddy’s girl. When it came time to get married, I didn’t tell him because I knew he’d try to stop me. I love my father and don’t want him out of my life. What should I do? – Newlywed in Jackson, Mich. Dear Newlywed: Your father was extremely hurt by what you did. When a father loves his daughter, he looks forward to the day he will proudly walk her down the aisle, knowing the man she is marrying will be a stable partner. When you sneaked off, you took that away from him. He may also be upset that the young man you married isn’t financially independent. You owe your dad an apology. Write him a letter, explain why you did what you did and that you love him. It’s a step in the right direction.

GREENSBORO (AP) – Five protesters who disrupted a North Carolina city council meeting to demand an investigation of the Greensboro police department have pleaded guilty to trespassing. The News & Record of Greensboro reported Tuesday the protesters are from a group called the Spirit of the Sit-In Movement. The protesters pleaded guilty to second-degree trespassing and the judge
used a judicial option that means the protesters will not be recorded as being convicted of a crime. The five took over the seats of the Greensboro City Council in May, banged the mayor’s gavel, and denounced a subculture of corruption at the police department. City Council members defended the police department and called some of the group’s accusations false.

Principal helps kids succeed
E
ast Forsyth Middle School Principal Dossie Poteat measures his personal success by how well he is able to help other people get to where they are supposed to be in life. Before he was able to help others, he first had to help himself. Growing up in Yanceyville, Poteat focused on athletics, academics and church to train him for life. “At church, I listened to one of the greatest men I’ve ever met, Rev. ABOVE Willie J. AND Toomer. BEYOND He had a real love Patty Jo for God, Sawvel and his ■■■passion came through in his preaching,� Poteat said. Poteat emulated Toomer’s passion as he pursued a career in education. When he and his wife, Gladys, started their family, they made it a priority to get young Joshua (now 21) and Jodi (now 17) where they needed to be in life. “My wife is wonderful,� Poteat said. “Before our children were allowed to go out with other kids, my wife literally interviewed the other parents. Sometimes she said ‘No.’� After teaching high school and serving as a middle school assistant principal in Kernersville, Poteat was chosen in 2005 to be the principal at East Forsyth Middle School. From the onset, Poteat wanted to keep his students drug-free. “I’ve lived in Kernersville for 21 years, and it is part of the culture to have drug-free students,� Poteat said. To that end, Poteat has always had at least 90 percent of his students participate in the voluntary random drugtesting program It’s My Call. In this way, Poteat believes he enables the school culture to mirror the town culture. To accomplish this, Poteat cites three factors. Everyone at school must be involved. Each student must personally be invited to join the program and see the significance of making the choice to live free of underage drinking and illicit drug use. Incentives and recognition, as provided by Kernersville Cares for Kids, are extremely helpful in motivating students to make the right choice. This year, Poteat and his school set a record for Forsyth County with 99.1 percent of students voluntarily signed up for random drug-testing. By his own standard – the ability to help students get to where they are supposed to be in life – Poteat has achieved outstanding success. PATTY JO SAWVEL is a freelance writer from Kernersville.

How to beat dandruff D
ear Dr. Donohue: How does one eliminate dandruff? I have had it for months and have tried many, many shampoos without making any progress. I can’t wear a dark suit coat. I look like I’ve just come in from a snow blizzard. Please give me some sort of program that I can follow. – H.H.
BLONDIE
Dandruff’s official name is seborrheic (SEBuh-REE-ik) dermatitis. “Dermatitis” indicates skin inflammation. Seborrhea is an overproduction of oil, sebum. Many with dandruff deny they have an oily scalp. They say their scalp is dry. That can be the case, but seborrheic dermatitis flourishes on skin with an abundance of oil glands. The scalp is one of those places, but not the only place. The flakes that land on your shoulders are sloughedoff skin cells. Dandruff usually is quite itchy. Scratching dislodges the dead skin cells. A yeast with the name Malassezia contributes to the problem. It’s probably not the actual cause, but it aids and abets the dandruff process. I’m sure you have tried many shampoos. Let me suggest ones that contain salicylic acid, zinc or selenium. Scalpicin, Head and Shoulders and Selsun Blue are three brand names. There are others. The way you use the shampoo is as important as your choice of shampoo. Wash your hair daily with one of these products. Massage

it into your scalp, and let the shampoo remain on your scalp for five minHEALTH utes. Do this for a Dr. Paul minimum Donohue of three ■■■ weeks. If you have an improvement, you can cut back on your shampooing to every other day. If there has been no improvement, then get a shampoo that attacks the Malassezia yeast. Nizoral A-D (1 percent ketoconazole) is a brand name you can find easily. Do the daily shampoo drill with one of these for three weeks. If after all this you still have dandruff, you need a doctor’s intervention. The doctor can prescribe more powerful agents, ones that have cortisone that can calm the inflamed skin. Dear Dr. Donohue: A little while ago, my best friend called me to tell me she thinks she might be pregnant. She and her husband were looking forward to having their first child. Last week she was rushed to the hospital, bleeding and in pain. She had a ruptured tubal pregnancy. What does that mean for her and her chances of having a successful pregnancy? – T.M. The “tube” is the fallopian tube, the tunnel through which an ovum passes to reach the uter-
us. It’s the place where fertilization takes place. In a tubal pregnancy, the fertilized egg is stuck in the tube. There isn’t enough room to accommodate embryonic growth there. If the situation isn’t recognized and surgically or medically corrected, the tube ruptures. The pain is great, and bleeding can be severe. Women who have had a tubal pregnancy can have a subsequent normal one. Their chances range from 40 percent to 90 percent. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have been active all my life. In high school, I played three varsity sports. I am now 60. My doctor told me I have a dropped uterus. Do you think all that physical activity caused it? – B.A. At your age, many, many women have dropped pelvic organs – uterus, bladder or rectum. It’s called pelvic prolapse. Genes (the goto reason for just about everything), the number of vaginal deliveries, obesity and the normal diminished production of estrogen at menopause are some of the causes of pelvic prolapse. The most important factor is aging. I don’t believe your active life had a role in it. The pelvic organs are held in place by muscles and ligaments. With aging, those muscles and ligaments become lax, and organs drop. If the prolapse isn’t causing symptoms, no treatment is necessary.

Moore returns as champ C
onventional thinking would dictate that one would consider a year with a victory to be better than one without. Not in the case of Ryan Moore. He prefers this year even though he still hasn’t won since getting the only victory of his career in the Wyndham Championship. He prefers it even though last year was his best since joining the PGA SPORTS Tour. He likes this year even though Greer he finished 16th on Smith the money list in ■■■ 2009 by going over $2 million for the first time and became the 14th first-time winner in Greensboro. Less than a month away from returning to Sedgefield, Moore likes his game more as he tries to break out from a less-thanimpressive resume that includes just six top-five finishes in 135 starts with 83 cuts made. He likes this year more even though he is 29th on the money list, 32nd in FedEx Cup points, has a slightly higher strokes per round average and a slight improvement in his World Golf Ranking to 43rd from 51st. Moore believes his game is coming into shape and that he is developing some consistency, something missing while managing just nine top 25 finishes total. He is encouraged after a second recently in the AT&T National and a fifth at the Memorial. “When I won last year, I discovered some things that were missing in my game,” Moore said. “Last year, it was a matter that I didn’t want to miss a cut after winning a tournament, I want to win a tournament because I’m playing good in general, not just because that I got hot.” Hot as in making five birdies on the back nine to tie Kevin Stadler and Jason Bohn. He won by making birdie on the third playoff hole to defeat Stadler. “I’m not complaining that I

Moore will return to defend his title next month. won a tournament that way,” he said. “But, I want to be a golfer who is in the mix every week and pushing guys on Sunday, which is what I did a couple of weeks ago (at the AT&T). I didn’t get a lot out of my rounds but I was close enough on Sunday to make a push and make people make some pars on some tough holes coming in. I have been that kind of golfer and I want to be that kind of golfer, and I wasn’t last year.” Moore had every right to fear missing the cut the next week after winning on the historic course. He failed to qualify for the final 36 holes on 11 occasions last year. This year, he has missed just four cuts. He attributes some of the better vibes to playing in fewer tournaments, some to working out some of the bugs in his swing and some recovery from injury
two years ago. “I have someone helping me with my swing a little bit more this year although he’s not really a coach,” he said. “I’ve squared away some things that were dangling out there and made them more consistent. That is starting to pay off a lot. I’m close now. I think It’s just a matter of winning right now.” He also credits a switch from Ping clubs to those made by Scratch, a relatively new company in which Moore has a stake and forges clubs by hand. Moore said he got a set of Scratch clubs at the beginning of last year but didn’t switch until late in the season because he did not want to disrupt his game. Following the switch, he finished seventh and eight before placing third behind Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els in the World Golf Championships in China. He followed with
top-10 finishes in his first two starts this year. “My ball striking has improved this year,” Moore said. “It does make a difference.” Last year’s Wyndham victory continued a love affair with Greensboro that included being awarded a sponsor’s exemption in 2004 after a stellar amateur run. Before the triumph last year, his best finish here as a pro was sixth in 2006. He vows not to make a big deal of playing as a defending champion for the first time. “I don’t think I’m going to treat it different from any other tournament,” he said. “It is a tournament I enjoy playing every year. I get excited to come and the course is a lot of fun to play. It’s one I enjoy playing, and I will treat it like any other.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556
Two-day program tackles sports medicine BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
HIGH POINT – More than a dozen seats remain available for area coaches and others involved in high school and middle school athletics who are interested in learning about various sports medicine topics. A free two-day program presented by the Cornerstone Health Care Foundation will offer coaches, trainers and athletic directors seminars on common injuries – such as those to the knee, foot and shoulder – as well as other pressing concerns such as sports-related concussions and heat illness. The seminar will be held at Cornerstone’s administrative offices at Providence Place on Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 3-4, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. A continental breakfast and
lunch will be served both days. Anyone interested in signing up for the available seats can call 802-2629 or email Jennifer.LeBeau@ cornerstonehealthcare.com prior to Friday’s registration deadline. Dr. John S. Tipton, of High Point’s Piedmont Centre Family and Sports Medicine, said questions and concerns from coaches led to the formation of this program. “I think it’s a good learning experience for them, and for us, because it’s the first time we’re going to be doing it,” said Tipton, who will discuss heat illness during Tuesday morning’s program. “To get people educated with all the things going on with sports at high schools, middle schools and elementary schools – it’s a great learning opportunity for everybody.” Tipton said he’s seen an increase in the
number of sports-related injuries at his practice near the Palladium, “probably because these athletes are playing year-round sports. They’re more prone to injuries because they’re going all out in game situations all the time, and we see overuse injuries, too.” Some of the presentations will center on how to treat athletes once they suffer an injury, while others will deal with prevention. Administering first aid and even proper nutrition for the young athlete also will be discussed. “The coaches are wanting to know what to do if their athlete goes down,” Tipton said. “The nice thing about this course is we are not just limiting it to injuries.”
organizers wait to see who will decide to play at Sedgefield in an attempt to improve their position going into the FedEx Championship. Tournament director Mark Brazil said that two-time Wyndham winner Love has given a verbal commitment, putting the last four winners in the field – the other three being Brandt Snedeker, Carl Pettersson (last week’s Canadian Open winner) and defending champ Ryan Moore. Others in the fold are Glover, Weekley, Stuart Appleby, David Duval, David Toms, two-time Wyndham winner Rocco Mediate, Wake Forest alumni Webb Simpson and Bill Haas, and foreign players Henrik Stenson and Richard Johnson (winner of last week’s Scandinavian Masters). Four of the eight sponsor exemptions have gone to Daly, for-
mer Wyndham winner Steve Elkington, High Point’s Dew Weaver and Tanner Kesterson – who got his spot as winner of Sedgefield’s AJGA tourney in June. Petterson is highest in the point standings in 16th. Haas is 22nd, Moore is 32nd. Among those in danger of not getting into the playoffs by not finishing in the top 125, Stenson (who has just nine starts) might be the most notable in 125th. Mike Wier, the former Masters winner, is 118th, Justin Leonard is No. 129 and 13 points below the cut (with 50 points going to tournament winner). Brazil is going to the Greenbrier tournament this week to do some more recruiting. The schedule doesn’t do him any favors.

L
et’s be honest. The Wnydham Championship’s position on the PGA Tour schedule doesn’t do it any favors when it comes to attracting big-name players. Located between the PGA Championship and the start of the FedEx Cup’s version of the Chase for the Championship, it provides little attraction for those who are situated well going into the playoffs. Biggest names to make the cut last year were arguably Sergio Garcia and Fred Couples. Others among the more notables were Justin Rose, U.S. Open winner Lucas Glover, former British Open winner Todd Hamilton, former U.S. Open winner Corey Pavin, Boo Weekley, John Daly and Davis Love III. The more recognizable players who have committed to be in this year’s field include many of the same cast of characters while

WHO’S NEWS

Receiver Terrell Owens agreed to a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday and will report to training camp in a couple of days, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The Bengals were his first choice, giving him a chance to team with close friend Chad Ochocinco, who has already dubbed the pair Batman and Robin. The Bengals made an offer on Monday, and Owens accepted a day later. Players are required to report for the start of training camp today in Georgetown, Ky. Owens is expected to show up when workouts begin on Thursday. On his Twitter account, all Owens would say was, “Hoping 2 b a Bengal w/in the 24hrs!!” He’s expected to sign his deal with he arrives in Georgetown. Already, it’s like something out of a reality show. Ochocinco gushed about the matchup on his Twitter feed, welcoming Owens and joking that “all of our games have been moved to pay-per-view, you got to pay to see this.” Both of the look-at-me receivers are accustomed to cable. By adding the 36-year-old Owens, the Bengals will lead the NFL in reality show stars. Ochocinco competed on “Dancing With the Stars” in the offseason, and has a dating show called “Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch” currently running on VH1. After Ochocinco’s show comes “The T.O. Show.”

Heat re-signs forward Shavlik Randolph
MIAMI (AP) — Shavlik Randolph is back with the Miami Heat. The team announced Tuesday that they have re-signed Randolph, a free agent forward. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Randolph appeared in six games last season with the Heat and Portland Trail Blazers. He began the season with the Miami and after he was waived in December, he signed with the Trail Blazers. Portland later waived him, before he signed a 10-day contract with the Blazers in January. He re-signed with the Heat in April. The former Duke standout has averaged 2.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 95 career NBA games.

Appalachian State needs to find new QB to remain SoCon’s best
AP FILE
Riley Skinner, shown celebrating his winning touchdown run against Stanford in this Sept. 12, 2009 file photo, flexed his muscles as Wake Forest’s starting quarterback for the past four seasons. Four players are battling to replace Skinner at the Deacon helm. Head coach Jim Grobe says a platoon is possible.
Demon Deacons face quarterback dilemma BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
GREENSBORO – Wake Forest’s quarterback situation remains so muddled that two players might be used to offset the loss of graduated Riley Skinner. Speaking at the ACC Media Kickoff this week, Demon Deacon coach Jim Grobe said he hasn’t ruled out going to a platoon system if none of the four in contention for the starting job emerges as the clear-cut choice. “It could happen – absolutely,” said Grobe, who is entering his 10th season as Wake’s coach. “If we have one guy more adept at running and one guy more adept at passing, I would like that combination at all as long as they could handle it well and the team could handle it well. “We could try it in the early games. But the last time we tried to do it a few years ago, it didn’t work because there was too much competition between the two quarterbacks (Ben Mauk and Corey Randolph). So, I don’t have a good experience with it.” Grobe is facing a quarterback dilemma going into a season for the first time since Skinner was thrust into the starting role after Ben Mauk was injured in the 2006 opener against Syracuse. Wake went on to win a season record 11 games and the ACC championship
that year. Skinner set school passing records for yards, attempts, compleJones Stachitas tions, completion percentage and touchdowns, and passing yardage and touchdowns in a season. Redshirt junior Skylar Jones emerged as No. 1 in spring practice because redshirt sophomore Ted Stachitas was out almost the entire time with a pulled hamstring and redshirt freshman Brendan Cross missed time due to a concussion. True freshman Tanner Price from Texas is also expected to vie for the position. “Sky is the most athletic; he’s probably got the strongest arm,” Grobe said. “But he’s got to work on his touch. Ted is the most balanced of the three. He has really good foot speed and he’s got a little bit more of a touch passer. Brendan is a little bit more like Riley, a true throwing quarterback. But, he is a little faster than Riley. He has more ability to run but he’s more of a pure thrower. “If we go with Sky, we’d be more of a run-based offense. If we go with Ted, it would more of a 50-50 offense. If we go with Brendan, we would be more throw than run.”
Before spring practice, Stachitas was seen as the frontCross Price runner. He is the only one with game experience, having gotten in for six snaps at the end of a blowout win over Elon last year. “I wish I knew who our guy was,” Grobe said. “We’re going to have to let those guys compete and Sky knows that. He was No. 1 at the end of the spring, but he knows we are still looking.” Grobe said he has to be careful not to limit his selection to the three returning players. Price, who is from Austin, Texas, guided his team to the Texas 5A championship game last year. “You’ve got to have a lot of focus on what matters and that is production,” he said. “You can’t fall in love with a guy because he is a good kid. He’s got to be able to move the chains and get in the end zone. ... That’s why when Tanner Price gets in, if he is the best quarterback, then he goes.” Grobe said he hopes to name a starter about a week to 10 days before the Deacons open the season against Presbyterian on Sept. 2. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

Rams optimistic Bradford will sign ST. LOUIS (AP) – The St. Louis Rams are optimistic they’ll sign No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford soon, perhaps by Thursday when quarterbacks and rookies are due for their first training camp workout. Whenever Bradford arrives, he won’t be throwing to Terrell Owens. The franchise is thin at wide receiver, but coach Steve Spagnuolo said Tuesday that the team has decided against signing Owens. “We took everything into play and we came up with a decision, and I really want to talk about the 2010 Rams,” Spagnuolo said. The coach declined
the say how serious the Rams were in contract talks with the volatile wide receiver. “I’m not going to put it in a category,” Spagnuolo said. “We sat down, talked about it. We went about it the right way and the decision was made.” Spagnuolo said talks are proceeding with Bradford and he was hopeful a deal would be reached soon. The coach added that Bradford, the former Oklahoma quarterback, has said in the past that he wanted to be in camp on time. Spagnuolo reiterated that veteran A.J. Feeley will open camp as the starter.
slammed into Stingley with his helmet while the receiver was running a pass pattern. The blow severed Stingley’s fourth and fifth vertebrae and left the receiver paralyzed from the neck down. The two never met after the hit. Stingley died in 2007. Tatum was not penalized on the play.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Jack Tatum, the Pro Bowl safety for the Oakland Raiders best known for his crushing hit that paralyzed Darryl Stingley in an NFL preseason game in 1978, has died. He was 61. Nicknamed “The Assassin,” Tatum, died of a heart attack Tuesday
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Appalachian State coach Jerry Moore has been through this before, trying to find a replacement for a top-flight, national championship winning quarterback. The last time, it worked out well. Armanti Edwards took over for Richie Williams and won two national player of the year awards, two Football Championship Subdivision championships and four Southern Conference titles. With Edwards learning to play wide receiver in the NFL, Moore is trying to decide between a junior and a redshirt freshman to lead a team that many expect to continue to dominate one of the toughest leagues in FCS. He said Tuesday he is confident either DeAndre Presley, who started a game last year when Edwards was injured, or Jamal Jackson can keep the Mountaineers on top. “It’ not like we don’t have something to work with,” Moore said. “It’s our job as coaches to get those guys in position to show their stuff.” But Elon, an FCS playoff team whose only SoCon loss came to Appalachian State last season, brings back its record-setting quarterback Scott Riddle, who in just about any other conference would already won player-of-the-year honors. “Going out my senior year with a conference championship, wouldn’t be any shame to it,” Riddle said. “I am looking forward to what this team can do.” On Monday, SoCon coaches picked Appalachian State to win the league, followed by Elon, Furman, Samford, Chattanooga, Wofford, Georgia Southern, The Citadel and Western Carolina. Media members picked the same top four. While the Mountaineers have to replace Edwards’ 10,392 yards passing, 4,361 yards rushing and 139 touchdowns, they have a wealth of talent returning at other positions as they try to tie Georgia Southern’s record of six straight SoCon titles. Nine starters return on offense, including running back Devon Moore, who led the league with 1,374 last season, and seven on defense on a team that lost in the national semifinals to Montana. Moore’s task will be blending in the newcomers and new assistants for defensive backs and offensive linemen into his efficient machine. The Mountaineers are 61-12 in the past five years, including one of the most famous upsets ever in college football, the 34-32 win over No. 5 Michigan in 2007. “We’ve got pretty good football players,” Moore said. “We’ve got to become a pretty good football team.” Elon has the opposite problem. The Phoenix bring back Riddle, but not a lot of other starters from a team that went 9-3 last season, making their first ever trip to the FCS playoffs. Riddle should pass Edwards’ league record for career passing yards by the second game of the season. He already owns the SoCon records for most completions and touchdown passes. But he will be missing the receiver who accounted for nearly half his yards last season. Terrell Hudgins, who caught 123 passes for 1,633 yards is trying to make the Dallas Cowboys’ roster. “It was kind of easy throwing to him. I think I could have complete some passes to him left-handed,” Riddle said. The Phoenix will need their younger player to contribute quickly if they want to compete for the conference title, coach Pete Lembo said. “We need six or seven receivers to step up. We need the entire offensive line to step up,” Lembo said. And the Southern Conference isn’t necessarily top heavy. Commissioner John Iamarino pointed out the league has sent five of its nine members to the FCS playoffs since 2005. One of those teams is Furman. The Paladins are accustomed to success, making the FCS playoffs 15 times since 1982, but are in the middle of one of their longest postseason dry spells, after staying home the past three years. Coach Bobby Lamb has no problem with his team being picked third, but said he won’t have a real idea of how much they can accomplish until players report to practice next month. “I think these guys are very hungry. They see the championships on the wall, They see the championship rings in my office. Certainly they want to get back to that level,” said Lamb, who played quarterback for the Paladins and was an assistant on their only national championship team in 1988. The intriguing newcomer to the top half of the SoCon standings is Chattanooga. The Mocs finished 6-5 and 4-4 in the league in 2009, the first time in a decade they didn’t finish with a losing record.

No Strasburg, no problem for Nats THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With Stephen Strasburg suddenly scratched, reliever Miguel Batista was pressed into making his first start in nearly two years. The 39-year-old journeyman allowed three singles in five scoreless innings, and two throwing errors hurt Atlanta starter Tommy Hanson as the last-place Nationals beat the NL East-leading Braves 3-0 on Tuesday night. Batista (1-2) hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t started a major league game since Aug. 25, 2008, for Seattle. Strasburg, who was supposed to be making the 10th appearance of his much-hyped career, had problems warming up. Strasburg was listed as day-to-day. Batista struck out six and walked one. The relievers completed the shutout with Matt Capps throwing a perfect ninth for his 25th save. Hanson (8-7) went six innings, giving up three runs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one earned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and six hits. He
had eight strikeouts without a walk.
PHILLIES 9, DIAMONDBACKS 5 PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ryan Howard hit a tiebreaking two-run homer, and Jayson Werth and Cody Ransom also connected for Philadelphia in its season-high sixth straight win. The two-time NL champion Phillies moved within 31â &#x201E;2 games of East-leading Atlanta, cutting the deficit in half over the last five days. They have won nine straight at home, their longest since winning 16 straight at Veterans Stadium in 1991. David Herndon (1-2) allowed two runs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one earned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in one inning to record his first major league victory. Mark Reynolds hit his 24th homer for the Diamondbacks. It may have been a costly win for Philadelphia. Center fielder Shane Victorino left in the seventh with a left oblique strain. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be examined by a team physician on Wednesday.
Raul Ibanez hit a two-out RBI single off Jordan Norberto (0-1) to tie it at 5 in the sixth and Howard followed with an opposite-field drive to left-center.
METS 8, CARDINALS 2 NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shut out four times during a 2-9 road trip, New York came home and ended Adam Wainwrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career-best scoreless streak at 26 innings. Wainwright (14-6) allowed a season-worst six runs. Jeff Francoeur hit a three-run homer and Jose Reyes added a two-run shot, while Jonathon Niese (7-4) and the Mets handed the NL Central leaders their fourth loss in five games. Carlos Beltran doubled to set up a run in the second, walked and scored on Francoeurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homer in the fourth, then hit an RBI single off Wainwright in the fifth that made it 6-1. Albert Pujols went 0 for 5, stranding five runners, as the Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense sputtered.
Tomlin, Indians shackle Yankees THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Josh Tomlin took a shutout into the eighth inning against Alex Rodriguez and New York to win his major league debut with Cleveland, 4-1 on Tuesday night. Getting one more chance at hitting his 600th homer with two outs in the ninth inning, Rodriguez grounded into a forceout to shortstop to end the game. A-Rod went 0 for 4
on his 35th birthday. The 25-year-old Tomlin outpitched former Indians ace CC Sabathia (13-4), handing the left-hander his first loss in 12 starts since May 23. Tomlin (1-0) gave up one run and three hits after having his contract purchased from Triple-A Columbus.
RAYS 3, TIGERS 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; James Shields gave up two runs over 62â &#x201E;3 innings, and Matt
Joyce hit a tiebreaking RBI double for Tampa Bay. Shields (9-9) allowed nine hits, one walk and had seven strikeouts one day after teammate Matt Garza threw the Raysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first no-hitter. Tampa Bay went up 3-2 when Joyce had a broken-bat run-scoring double during the sixth. Carlos Pena put the Rays ahead 2-0 on a tworun homer in the first. Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Justin Verlander (12-6) allowed three runs and five hits in his second complete game of the season.
NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roush injured in Wisconsin plane crash MILWAUKEE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NASCAR team owner Jack Roush was in serious but stable condition after walking away from a plane crash in Wisconsin on Tuesday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are injuries. Possible surgery,â&#x20AC;? Roush Fenway Racing president Geoff Smith said in a text message to The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he walked out of the plane.â&#x20AC;? Smith confirmed that the plane belonged to Roush, and he was flying it. Smith said Roushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injuries include facial lacerations. Roush, an aviation buff, was attending the Experimental Aircraft Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual
AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., this week. In a statement on the EAA Web site, officials said a Beechcraft Premier business jet registered to Roush Fenway Racing, LLC was involved in a landing accident at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh. The accident occurred at approximately 6:15 p.m. CDT, the statement said. According to the EAA, the National Transportation Safety Board and Winnebago County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department confirmed that two occupants on board were Roush and Brenda Strickland of Plymouth, Mich.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each exited the aircraft following the accident,â&#x20AC;? the statement said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both were transported to local hospitals, with Roush in serious but stable condition and Strickland with non-life threatening injuries. The NTSB is leading the investigation into the accident.â&#x20AC;? It is the second close call for Roush, who crashed a plane into a pond in Alabama in 2002 and was rescued by an ex-Marine who lived nearby. Roush continued flying after that accident.

State football players after ruling that police conducted an illegal search of an apartment where marijuana was found. Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that charges were dismissed against offensive tackle Jake Vermiglio, and defensive tackles Markus Kuhn and J.R. Sweezy. A hearing on charges against tight end George Bryan has been postponed to a later date. Neither the Wake County district attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office nor defense attorneys could be reached for comment on Tuesday evening. District Court Judge Keith Gregory ruled that the search of the apartment by the offduty Raleigh police office working at the complex was not lawful. Coach Tom Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said Monday that all the players will be with the team when practice begins.
Bravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ross agrees to extension WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Atlanta Braves backup catcher David Ross agreed to a two-year contract extension that will pay him $3.25 million. Ross is making $1.6 million this year in the final season of a $3 million, two-year deal. The extension announced Tuesday will pay him $1,625,000 in each of the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Atlanta also optioned outfielder Nate McLouth to Triple-A Gwinnett and activated outfielder Brent Clevlen from the 15-day disabled list. McLouth is hitting .168 with three homers.
Finch closes Team USA career as champion SALE NAILS $20
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jennie Finch is closing out her international softball career as a champion. Caitlin Lowe had a tworun triple, and the United States beat Japan 5-1 late Monday night to win its fourth straight World Cup of Softball title in Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final game in red, white and blue. Finch was pulled with two outs in the seventh and received a standing ovation as she headed into the dugout, stopping momentarily to wave to the crowd. At 29, Finch decided to give up softball so she
could spend more time with her family despite still being able to play at the highest level. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow a run in 182â &#x201E;3 innings at the World Cup, although she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a factor in her final game. Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammates mobbed around her in a group hug after the final out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My career has been way more than I possibly ever could have dreamt of or imagined,â&#x20AC;? Finch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been so incredibly blessed by this game, the people of this game. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so grateful.â&#x20AC;?
A two-time Olympian and 2004 gold medalist, Finch developed into the most recognizable player in the sport after a standout career at Arizona that included the 2001 Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College World Series
title and an NCAA record 60 straight victories. She went on to become a pop culture icon, striking out big league hitters on â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Week in Baseballâ&#x20AC;? and making appearances on reality TV.

Hold the phone: Wyndham plans cellular policy change BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
WYNDHAM NOTEBOOK: GREENSBORO – This year’s edition of the Wyndham Championship will serve as something of a guinea pig for the PGA Tour when it allows cell phones on the course. Right now, cell phones are banned at all tournaments. Tournament director Mark Brazil said he broached the subject with the PGA about a year ago. “I don’t know why we were chosen, maybe it is because we brought it up,” Brazil said. “We were on the front end of thinking it was a good idea. People who were saying I’m not in contact with the business world or I’m not in contact with my family had too much of
an excuse not to come out. Wimbledon allows them and the USTA allows them and those are places where you are trying to be quiet.” “Cell phones ring now at tournaments. If we are proactive and tell people that they can have them out here, maybe they will follow the rules better.” Patrons will be asked to put their phones on silent mode when they go through the gates. Areas near six concession stands will be designated as places where talking on phones will be allowed. “We’ll probably have a couple of issues, but we have issues now,” Brazil said. “We have to adapt to this newer technology that has become such an important part of people’s lives.” Ryan Moore, last year’s Wyndham winner, said he hears cell phones an
average of two or three times during a tournament. “It doesn’t bother me,” Moore said. “You would have to about come up and about push me to bother me. Usually, if you have a problem with anything, it is late in the day when people have had too much to drink of certain beverages.” Phones can be used as cameras during pro-am and practice rounds Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but not after tournament play begins on Thursday.
MORE TELEVISION The tournament will get more television time this year. Golf Channel will provide bonus coverage of the third and fourth rounds from noon to 1:30 before action switches over to CBS on Saturday, Aug. 21, and Sunday. Aug. 22. First and second-round
coverage will be on The Golf Channel from 3-6 p.m. Thursday and Friday.
SHORT PUTTS Main parking from Thursday through Sunday will again be at the Greensboro Coliseum but a lot will also be located on Guilford College Road near the intersection with High Point Road. The portion of that lot that turned into a quagmire during last year’s tournament will not be used. Parking from Monday through Wednesday will be at Legacy Paddle Sports on High Point Road just north of the intersection with Guilford College Road, which will serve as VIP parking area Thursday through Sunday. ... Brazil said all spots in the Wednesday pro-am have been filled but some remain open in the Monday pro-am. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556
Making the cut: Policy change helps Pettersson Good thing for Carl Pettersson that the PGA Tour amended its cut policy two years ago. Pettersson was among those who put in writing his opposition to the tour’s new cut rule at the start of the 2008 season. In an effort to avoid twotee starts and 5 1/2-hour rounds on the weekend, the tour changed its policy from the top 70 and ties to the nearest number of players to 70th place whenever more than 78 players made the cut. It caused so much consternation that someone posted a one-question survey – “Do you agree with the new cut policy?” in the locker room at the Sony Open. There were six signatures under “No,” which included Pettersson. The policy was changed a short time later to include a 54-hole cut when more than 78 players qualified for the weekend. Two years later, that change enabled Pettersson to keep playing at the Canadian Open, where he made the cut on the number Friday, shot 60 on Saturday and closed with a 67 to win on Sunday. Pettersson still doesn’t like the amended rule, and he has company. John Daly was a victim of the original cut policy at the Sony Open. He made the cut on the number in Canada, but failed to stay inside the top 70 and ties after Saturday’s round of 73. “It used to be a 72-hole tournament, shouldn’t they let everyone play hard right to the end?” Daly said on Twitter. Also knocked out was former Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger, who also made the cut on the number, only to shoot 74 on Saturday. Azinger agreed with one of his follower’s tweets that the 54-hole cut kept fans from watching
three major champions – Azinger, Daly and Lee Janzen. Who knew they had such a following? It’s worth noting that Azinger also was among the six who signed the makeshift petition two years ago in Hawaii.
BEEM’S BACK Rich Beem will return to the PGA Tour at Whistling Straits for the PGA Championship. He just won’t have his golf clubs with him. Beem, who had back surgery in April, said he will be doing some work for TNT Sports during the PGA Championship, where he also will attend the Champions Dinner. He won at Hazeltine in 2002. As for his golf? Beem plans to play about three Nationwide Tour events after the PGA Championship to see where his game is. Then, he will have four PGA Tour events in the Fall Series. To play the PGA Tour any sooner would mean forfeiting a major medical extension, which he will use for the 2011 season.
OLYMPIC MOVEMENT The top priority is to find an executive director for the International Golf Federation, the governing body for golf in the Olympics, and to determine where in Brazil to host the first Olympic golf tournament in more than a century. At some point, however, the United States will need to create a national governing body that will work with the U.S. Olympic Committee. It would seem natural for the USGA to assume that role, except that the players competing in Rio in 2016 most likely will be members of the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour. “Technically speaking, whoever the
Ambrose leaving JTG Daugherty Racing HARRISBURG (AP) – Marcos Ambrose is leaving JTG Daugherty Racing at the end of the season. Team co-owner Tad Geschickter said Tuesday the organization is disappointed to see the Australian driver leave after five seasons. Ambrose started with the team in the Truck Series, and helped it expand to NASCAR’s premier Sprint Cup Series. “After five years, I personally felt it was time for a change,” Ambrose said. Ambrose debuted with the team in a 2006 truck race at Martinsville. He won two Nationwide Series races for JTG, and nearly won the Cup race at Sonoma last month. He lost the
race when, while trying to conserve fuel under caution, he turned his engine off and couldn’t maintain reasonable speed. Ambrose did not say where he will drive next season, but he’s believed to be close to finalizing a deal with Richard Petty Motorsports. “I would like to continue in NASCAR and finish off what I started, but I have not discounted returning to Australia,” Ambrose said. “I’m grateful to JTG Daugherty Racing for giving me an opportunity to become a NASCAR driver and I wish them the best in the future.” JTG said it will make an announcement soon as to who will drive the No. 47 Toyota next season.

member of the international federation is of that country tends to be the NGB (national governing body) for their own Olympic committee,” said Ty Votaw, who helped spearhead golf’s inclusion in the Olympics. Along with the PGA Tour and LPGA
Tour, other U.S. groups that belong to the IGF are the PGA of America, USGA and the Masters. Meanwhile, still under consideration is whether golf can be added to the Pan American Games in 2015, which will be in Toronto.
Trees the biggest obstacle at Sahalee SAMMAMISH, Wash. (AP) – Corey Pavin’s thought process was sound. His execution was a little off. Standing in the middle of the 11th fairway on Tuesday morning, Pavin decided to take the two mammoth fir trees creating field goal uprights in front of the green out of play. Hitting a low, stinging fair-
way wood could keep the ball under the tree limbs and leave a reasonable pitch on the long par-5. Five shots later, Pavin finally had a shot that wasn’t engulfed by one of the giant trees at Sahalee Country Club. Avoiding the thousands of trees framing the fairways of Sahalee is a good first move at this week’s U.S. Senior Open.

HealthSouth issues investor settlements BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Securities and Exchange Commission says $106 million that HealthSouth Corp. agreed to pay investors is ready for distribution to those who qualify. There are about 68,000 qualifying stockholders and bondholders. That means the average amount received will be about $1,555, based on a complex calculation of who owned how much when, The Birmingham News reported Tuesday. The payout is a result of an SEC lawsuit in 2003. Birminghambased hospital operator HealthSouth agreed to settle the suit in 2005 by paying $100 million to settle civil claims that it falsely inflated earnings. The money has earned interest since that time.
Consumer confidence falls NEW YORK (AP) – Americans’ confidence in the economy eroded further in July amid worries about a still-stagnant job market. The report raised concerns about the economic recovery and the back-to-school shopping season. The Conference Board, a private research group, said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index slipped to 50.4 in July, down from the revised 54.3 in June. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected a reading of 51.0. The decline follows last month’s nearly 10-point drop, from 62.7 in May, which marked the biggest since February, when the measure also fell 10 points. The survey was taken
July 1-21, beginning just as the Standard & Poor’s 500 index was falling to a nine-month low of 1,022.58 on July 2. It had risen 4.5 percent by July 21 and has since climbed an additional 4 percent as upbeat earnings reports from manufacturers like 3M Co. and Caterpillar Inc. have made investors more convinced that the economic recovery isn’t stalling as much as they had originally thought. Still, a sustainable recovery can’t happen without the American consumer. And the second straight month of declining confidence following three months of increases is worriesome, economists say. “Consumers have a much
different view of the economy than the stock market does, and their views matter more to the economy,” said Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo. The reading, he says, “tells me that the economy is heading for slower growth in the second half.” One component of the index, which measures how shoppers feel now about the economy, declined to 26.1, from 26.8. The other barometer, which measures shoppers’ outlook over the next six months, declined to 66.6, from 72.7. The index – which measures how shoppers feel about business conditions, the job market and the next six months – had been recovering fit-
fully since hitting an alltime low of 25.3 in February 2009. The index typically falls before the economy slows down, and on the way out of a recession, the expectations component, which accounts for more than 60 percent of the reading, rises sharply, Franco said. “It’s all about jobs. That’s still the primary source of income,” said Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center. “Until we see the pace of job growth pick up and consumers are confident that this is sustainable, we are not likely to see a significant pickup in confidence.” Economists say the ex-

Oil prices fall on economy worries NEW YORK – Oil prices dropped on Tuesday following disappointing reports on consumer confidence and manufacturing. Benchmark crude lost $1.48 at $77.50 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract settled unchanged at $78.98 on Monday.
Sam’s Clubs host open houses NEW YORK – Sam’s Club is hosting an open house between Friday, Aug. 6 and Sunday, Aug. 8. That means you can shop at the discount retailer those days even if you’re not a member. The promotion is being tied to back-to-school season, which is an important time for retailers. The chain runs open house promotions regularly, but usually charges nonmembers a 10 percent premium on their purchases. That fee will be waived. In order to make a purchase, shoppers need to fill out a form to get a temporary membership card.
Supervalu’s net income falls 40% PORTLAND, Ore. – Supervalu Inc.’s first-quarter net income fell 40 percent as shoppers kept a tight lid on spending and competition increased. The national grocery chain said Tuesday that it was disappointed in the results but maintained its forecast for adjusted earnings for the year, saying cost-cutting and other efforts will gain traction.

pectations component correlates more closely with the stock market movements, but Vitner noted that the big plunge in May has made such an imprint on consumers that the recent rebound hasn’t registered. On the other hand, confidence usually rises before an improvement in the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic activity, Vitner said. Economists watch the number closely because consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity and is critical to a strong recovery. A reading above 90 indicates the economy is on solid footing.

The 2011 Chevrolet Volt debuts at the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles in December.
GM reveals Volt price DETROIT (AP) — General Motors Co. said Tuesday its Chevrolet Volt electric car will cost $41,000 when it goes on sale in November. While the price is about $8,000 more than its closest rival, the Nissan Leaf, GM said it will offer a $350-per-month lease deal that’s essentially equal to the Leaf’s. That will put the battery-powered Volt within reach of many people, GM said.
Both cars also are eligible for a federal tax credit that will cut their prices by $7,500. The Volt would fall to $33,500 while the Leaf’s would drop to $25,280 from nearly $33,000. Some states, such as California, Georgia and Oregon, offer additional tax breaks that lower the price further. The Volt, a 4-door sedan, runs on battery power for up to 40 miles but
has a small gasoline engine to generate electricity once the battery runs down. The gas engine can generate power to run the car another 300 miles. That’s a big selling point because some drivers worry about the battery going dead during trips. This so-called “range anxiety” dogged GM’s experimental EV-1 electric car in the 1990s. To give the car wider
appeal, drivers must know “they’re not going to get stranded,” said Joel Ewanick, GM vice president U.S. marketing, as he announced the Volt’s price at a conference in San Jose, Calif. GM’s lease deal is $350 a month for 36 months with $2,500 down. Nissan’s lease plan is $349 per month for the same length of time with $1,995 down.
Treasury to hold conference on Fannie, Freddie WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration, which has been under fire for not developing a concrete plan for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, says it will hold a conference in next month to discuss their future. The administration said Tuesday the event
will be held Aug. 17 at the Treasury Department. The financial overhaul signed by President Barack Obama didn’t address their future, despite protest from Republicans that it was incomplete without a plan for the two companies. The Obama administration has said
it wants to wait until next year to determine their future. So far stabilizing the pair of mortgage buyers has cost taxpayers $145 billion. The government created the two companies as a hybrid of private company and federal agency to help make mortgages
available. They buy home loans from lenders, package them into bonds with a guarantee against default and sell them to investors. They own or guarantee about half of all U.S. mortgages, or nearly 31 million home loans worth more than $5 trillion.
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to pass legislation that he says will help small businesses grow and hire again. A measure emerging in the Senate would create a new lending fund to help community banks offer loans. Obama urged lawmakers not to block the initiative and hold the public hostage to Washington politics. The president spoke following a meeting with congressional leaders Among those present was House Minority Leader John Boehner, who has accused the president of stooping to partisan attacks and saying Obama cannot sell his economic plan. Obama argues Boehner and Republicans are trying to advance the same agenda that led the country into the recession.
GE settles kickback charges WASHINGTON (AP) – General Electric Co. will pay $23.4 million to settle federal charges that some of its subsidiaries paid illegal kickbacks to the Iraqi government in order to win contracts under a U.N. program. The Securities and Exchange Commission said in a civil complaint filed Tuesday in federal court GE subsidiaries gave cash, computers, medical supplies and other goods worth $3.6 million to the Iraqi health and oil ministries.
Enterprise to offer Nissan Leaf rentals NEW YORK (AP) — Nissan Motor Co. will sell 500 Leaf electric cars to Enterprise Rent-A-Car starting in January, as the Japanese automaker aims to put more drivers behind the wheel of its batterypowered vehicles. Enterprise said Tues-
day it will make the Leaf available to customers in eight different cities starting next year. Charging stations will be installed at 100 different Enterprise rental locations beginning in November. The cost of renting the Leaf, which runs 100 miles
on a full charge of its lithium-ion battery, hasn’t been determined yet, Enterprise spokeswoman Lisa Martini said. But, like the hybrid vehicles that Enterprise rents to customers, the rental price is likely to be higher than its gasoline cars, she said.

Apple on Tuesday updated its all-in-one iMac line, widely praised as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best desktop computers, with the latest Intel Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 processors and powerful new graphics.
Macs get second iPhone-like controller CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Apple Inc. unveiled the latest update to its line of desktop computers Tuesday, promising faster speeds and offering the option of multi-touch controls similar to those used on the iPhone. Apple said its new line of iMac desktops, with new processors from Intel Corp. and new graphics chips, are the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest ever. The iMacs, which tuck the inner workings of the computer behind the flatscreen monitor, cost $1,199 to $1,999 based on speed and screen size. Windows computer makers such as Dell Inc. and
Hewlett-Packard Co. have turned their similar all-inone desktop computers into touch-screen media centers where families can, for example, browse through photos and play music. Apple, however, has maintained that while touch screens work well on the iPhone and the iPad, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense on a Mac. Its MacBook laptops have track pads that respond to the two-finger pinch and pull controls of the iPhone, and before the holidays Apple introduced a touch-sensitive mouse that responds to the same gestures. Now, Mac buyers can
also pay an extra $69 for what Apple calls the Magic Trackpad, a sleek glasstopped aluminum touch pad that connects to Apple computers using Bluetooth. The device works with all of Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computers and runs on two AA batteries. Apple also released a new line of Mac Pro desktops, which resemble a traditional boxy PC and require a separate monitor. Like the new iMacs, Apple says the latest Pro computers carry faster processors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the brains of a computer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as new graphics chips that produce a sharper display.

UBS posts profit in second-quarter GENEVA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Swiss bank UBS AG offered evidence of its recovery Tuesday with stronger-than-expected second-quarter profits of 2 billion Swiss francs ($1.9 billion), and said it should resolve all tax matters with the U.S. government by October. The Zurich bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results compared with a 1.4 billion-franc loss in the second quarter of 2009, and far exceeded analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forecasts, sending shares up by 11.2 percent to 17.46 francs ($16.63) at the close in Zurich.

The company, based in Frankfurt, said net earnings were up to nearly â&#x201A;Ź1.2 billion ($1.55 billion) from â&#x201A;Ź1.1 billion a year earlier â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beating analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forecast of â&#x201A;Ź1.05 billion.

Net profit for the AprilJune quarter was 48.5 billion rupees ($1.0 billion), up from 36.7 billion rupees in the year-ago period. Revenues surged 88.1 percent, to 610.1 billion rupees ($13.1 billion), as exports more than doubled to $7.1 billion, and refining margins improved. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS
Publisher lands job with PR firm ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The former, longtime Furniture/Today publisher Joe Carroll, who retired earlier this year from the publication, has taken a new job with a local advertising and public relations agency. Carroll joined McNeill Communications Group Inc. as president of its new marketing communications division, the agency announced Monday. The High Pointbased advertising and public relations agency is expanding its services to include global strategic marketing services. Carroll will oversee marketing and communications to include planning, advertising, public relations, social media and creative services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many industry friends have contacted me requesting my help with their marketing
projects that the opportunities were irresistible,â&#x20AC;? said Carroll, who retired from Furniture/Today at the conclusion of the spring High Point Market. Carroll retired after 33 years with the industry trade publication where he developed several sister publications, a daily e-mail news service, and helped organize a global home furnishings publications group, the International Alliance of Furnishings Publications. Carroll was inducted into the American Furniture Foundation Hall of Fame last year. McNeill Communications provides communications services including advertising, public relations, media strategy, brand development and graphic design. Clients include businesses in home furnishings, telecommunications and education.
SEC to seek input on new rules WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The head of the Securities and Exchange Commission said Tuesday that the agency will seek input from businesses and the public before proposing new rules to oversee Wall Street and financial companies. SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said the agency will take public comment before proposing its nearly 100 new rules under the financial regulatory law, even though the law does not require it to do so. The law gives the SEC new powers to oversee hedge funds, derivatives and other aspects of the financial industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to have a process that does not stifle communication of important information from the public,â&#x20AC;? Schapiro said in remarks at an event hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Schapiro said the agency staff will make an effort to meet with interested parties who wish to weigh in on the new rules. It will also read e-
mails and comments on the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Lobbying by businesses and financial interests that opposed the regulatory overhaul is expected to be intense. Even though President Barack Obama last week signed the most sweeping changes for Wall Street since the Great Depression, Congress left much of the new rules to the discretion of regulators. Schapiro said last week that the SEC will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;very sensitiveâ&#x20AC;? in crafting its rules. For example, she said the way the agency oversees smaller hedge funds should be different from its oversight of large entities that could pose as risk to the entire financial system. She repeated that idea on Tuesday. At the same time, Schapiro said the SEC will follow the new law â&#x20AC;&#x153;to the letterâ&#x20AC;? when writing its rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The regulatory process is not designed to re-debate issues that Congress has resolved,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Stocks fall on consumer confidence data NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; News that consumers are more pessimistic put the stock marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rally on hold. Stocks fell modestly Tuesday after three days of big gains. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 12 points for its fourth straight advance, but the gain was largely to due a jump in DuPont Co. after the chemical maker reported strong earnings. The Conference Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report that its Consumer Confidence Index fell to 50.4 from Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revised reading of 54.3 distracted investors from another batch of upbeat earnings reports. The market had expected the index to come in at 51. Investors have been torn over the past few months between buying on companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; upbeat reports and selling on government and private sector numbers that keep pointing to a slowing of the economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investors are really uncertain whether to focus on the underlying economy or earnings,â&#x20AC;? said Tyler Vernon, principal and portfolio manager at Biltmore Capital Advisors. John Brady, a senior vice president at MF Global in Chicago, said there is little thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to turn around consumer confidence in the near future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what turns around confidence aside from jobs growth,â&#x20AC;? Brady said.

President Wyclef? Singer mulls Haiti campaign
Jack Hanna wards off grizzly with pepper spray
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Singer Wyclef Jean is considering a run for president of Haiti but has not decided whether to seek a fiveyear term as leader of the quake-ravaged nation, his family said Monday. There have been rumors the Haitian-born entertainer might enter the 2010 contest, ever since his 2007 appointment as ambassador-atlarge for Haiti by President Rene Preval, who cannot seek re-election.
H a n n a and the others m o v e d slowly back up the trail to a clearing Hanna and stood still while the mother and one cub passed by. He says the other cub charged toward the hikers. He sprayed the bear in the face, and it fled.
His family said in a statem e n t , â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wyclefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to Jean his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of whether he is part of the government moving forward ... If and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately.â&#x20AC;?

Pulled pork does more than fill a bun
HOSPITAL AWARD
---
BY J.M. HIRSCH AP FOOD EDITOR
W
e all know pulled pork makes a killer sandwich. But I wanted to see how it held up to another carb – pasta. So I started by making a basic pulled pork. But instead of barbecue sauce, I used a blend of sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, creme fraiche and garlic. This combination would offer bold flavors and colors, and would work better with the pasta than barbecue sauce would. But I did want a hint of that tangy, spicy barbecue flavor, so I spiced the sauce with red wine vinegar (cider vinegar would be good, too) and a splash of hot sauce. Diced canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce would be a great alternative. Then I tossed the whole thing with pulled pork tenderloin and fresh cheese tortellini. While any pasta would work, I liked the creaminess added by the cheese in the tortellini.
Pulled Pork with Roasted Red Peppers, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Tortellini Start to finish: 50 minutes Servings: 4 1 tablespoon black peppercorns 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon kosher salt 6 cups water 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths 12-ounce package cheese tortellini 8 1/2-ounce jar oil-packed julienne-cut sun-dried tomatoes 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and thinly sliced 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1/4 cup creme fraiche 1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot sauce 2 cloves garlic, minced Salt and ground black pepper, to taste In a medium saucepan over high, combine the peppercorns, cumin, salt and water. Bring to a boil, then add the pork. Return the pork to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 40 minutes, or until an instant thermometer reads 160 degrees at the center of the pork, or until the meat is fork tender. Drain the pork, discarding the solids in the water, then return the pork to the pan. Use 2 forks to pull and tear apart the meat into strands and chunks. Bring a second medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, add the sundried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, red wine vinegar, creme fraiche, hot sauce and garlic to the pork. Warm the mixture over low heat. When the pasta is cooked, add it to the pork mixture, then toss well. Season with salt and pepper.

Bowls of Fennel, Pea Shoot and Green Grape Slaw (front) and Beet Slaw bypass the traditional ingredients of cabbage and mayonnaise.
Hold the mayo Try these fresh takes on summer coleslaw BY ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
C
oleslaw doesn’t have to be a mayonnaise-laden mess of shredded cabbage and carrots. The following recipes are great simple summer salads that will bring pops of flavor and color to any picnic or barbecue. The easiest way to shred the vegetables is to use a box grater, a mandoline or a food processor (with the shredder disc).
Beet Slaw Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 6 2 cans whole beets, drained and shredded 1 scallion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup golden raisins 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar 1 1/2 tablespoons orange marmalade (fine cut, if available)
Fennel, Pea Shoot and Green Grape Slaw Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 6 For the salad: 1 fennel bulb, fronds removed, shredded 2 cups pea shoots 2 scallions, thinly sliced 1 1/2 cups seedless green grapes, quartered 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, minced For the dressing: 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons agave nectar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
In a large bowl, gently combine all ingredients.
In a large bowl, toss together the salad ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Dress the salad just before serving and toss to coat.

Apple and Celeriac Slaw Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 6 For the salad: 1 small celeriac or celery root, shredded 1 green apple, cored and julienned 1 orange or red bell pepper, cored and julienned 1 stalk celery, very thinly sliced For the dressing: 1 small shallot, minced 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon honey
High Point Regional Health System recently qualified for the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline Bronze Performance Achievement Award. The award recognizes High Point Regional’s commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of care for heart attack patients that effectively improves the survival and care of STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) patients. Hospitals that receive the Mission: Lifeline Bronze Performance Achievement Award have demonstrated for 90 consecutive days that at least 85 percent of eligible STEMI patients are treated within specific time frames upon entering the hospital and discharged following the American Heart Association’s recommended treatment guidelines. Every year, almost 400,000 people experience the STEMI type of heart attack. Unfortunately, a significant number don’t receive prompt reperfusion therapy, which is critical in restoring blood flow. Mission: Lifeline seeks to save lives by closing the gaps that separate STEMI patients from timely access to appropriate treatments. Mission: Lifeline is focusing on improving the system of care for these patients and at the same time improving care for all heart attack patients.

Do you mind your p’s and q’s? The expression (I’m told) arose from the pints and quarts served at pubs. Patrons were asked to limit their intake – mind their p’s and q’s – to avoid rowdy behavior. Nobody was on good behavior after today’s deal. Against 3NT West led the deuce of spades, and the defense looked ready to prevail, but when dummy played low, East put in the ten. South won gratefully but next led a diamond to the ace and back to his jack. West won and led the ace and a low spade, and the result was down one after all.
INTEMPERATE Nobody was happy, least of all West and North, and there were some intemperate comments. “Put up your king of spades,” West thundered at East. “If declarer’s spades were A-x, he’d have tried playing the queen.” “They gave you the contract and you gave it back,” North blustered at his partner. “Take the A-K of diamonds. If the queen didn’t fall, you could finesse in hearts.” Sometimes it takes an effort to mind your p’s and q’s.
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S Q 6 H A K J 9 6 D A 6 4 C A 7 2. You open one heart, your partner bids one spade, you jump to 2NT and he tries three diamonds. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Partner’s three diamonds is forcing; he seems to have doubts about notrump. Since you have only one club stopper, to insist on 3NT would be wrong, nor is your spade support good enough to try three spades. Bid three hearts to show a strong five-card suit. North dealer N-S vulnerable
ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.
