Guilford AYP scores top larger districts Inside...

Project details. 1B

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Although 2010 school district test scores topped the performance of the state’s other five large districts, the success could be shorted lived.

With the state scheduled to upgrade Adequate Yearly Progress standards within the next year, district scores could suffer, Gongshu Zhang, district chief research and accountability officer, told the Guilford County Board of Education this week.

“In 2011, the state bar goes up and it will be really high,” he said.

ADEQUATE YEARLY PROGRESS

–

ABCs: The scores also are part of the ABC’s of education, the state’s accountability system for measuring the academic achievement of individual schools.

Title I: Schools that do not make AYP in the same subject area for two or more consecutive years face sanctions and must offer parents public school choice.

AYP is a federal standard required by the No Child Left Behind Act. The pass-fail scores are based on end-of-grade and end-of-course testing. Nearly 60 percent of the district’s schools met AYP goals in 2010 despite an 8-point drop from last year. That compared to 38 percent for Wake County, 58 percent in Charlotte-

Mecklenburg, 54 percent for Forsyth County, 25 percent for Durham and 58 percent for Cumberland County.

“This is an apples to apples comparison,” Zhang said. “Our mark is not a high mark. We have a lot of work to do.”

The scores mean that nine of 27 low-performing schools will leave school improvement status, including Oak View, Northwood and Kirkman Park elementaries.

The boosted state standards will come on top of AYP’s built-in difficulties.

The number of protected testing groups dropped by about half for 2010 to make an AYP boost this year difficult, Zhang said.

The subgroups include students who qualify for free or reducedprice lunches, the disabled, students who speak little English and students of specific races or ethnic groups. “It is a challenge,”

he said. “If one single cell fails by one student, the school fails. Many people oppose this as unfair.”

The district also led the large districts in graduation rates with a rate of 80.7 percent as 12 high schools graduated 90 percent of their students. The rate is the highest since the N.C. Department of Public Instruction created the measure in 2006.

The rate compared with 78 percent for Wake County, 70 percent for Charlotte-Mecklenburg, 74 percent for Forsyth, 70 percent for Durham and 75 percent for Cumberland County.

Only two local high school programs reported lower than an 80 percent graduation rate: T. Wingate Andrews High had a 77 percent rate and The Academy at High Point Central posted a 60 percent rate. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Tempers flare over Ragsdale proposal

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – During a heated discussion Thursday, the Guilford County Board of Education approved an expanded upgrade for Ragsdale High School and an additional $4 million for the project.

The board voted 9-1 for the plan which eventually won the support of angered board member Paul Daniels.

The construction plan stalled last month after bids came in $5.7 million over budget. School officials then said they would review the project and start another bidding round.

Chairman Alan Duncan offered an upgrade motion. Daniels, who represents the Ragsdale district, said he knew

Following earlier discussions Thursday, Daniels said he was told the board would first work to see why the project bids were too high and then seek revised plans.

Superintendent Mo Green defended LaRowe, saying he was “troubled” that he had to do so.

scope of the project,” Daniels said.

Some Ragsdale parents have feared for months that the project would be scrapped when bids came in over budget.

“The community wants the project to move, and we need a scope definition. It is time to bring this up,” Duncan said.

Duncan apologized for not telling Daniels about the motion, and Daniels later apologized to Duncan and LaRowe following a closed session that ended about 1:40 a.m. Friday.

“I impugned some motives in this, and I was wrong,” Daniels said.

Only board member Sandra Alexander voted against the revised school upgrade plan. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Slain deputy leaves behind 2 children SNOW HILL (AP) – Flags at the Greene County courthouse are flying at half-staff as a tribute to a North Carolina sheriff’s deputy shot to death as he arrived at a domestic disturbance.

Flags have been lowered to honor Deputy Jon Willis, 30. Willis is the third deputy killed in the line of duty in the past 15 months in the mostly rural area of North Carolina east of Interstate 95. He leaves behind two children. Willis was answering a domestic call in Snow Hill Wednesday night when he was shot twice.

conduct business with Caterpillar,” said Loren Hill, president of the High Point Economic Development Corp.

The move is part of Caterpillar’s plans to increase production of mining trucks. The North Carolina plant will allow Caterpillar to continue expanding existing facilities around the world, the company said.

“This location will improve our supply chain efficiency and, as a result, allows us to better serve our customers more effectively while reducing operat-

ing costs,” said Hans Haefeli, Caterpillar’s vice president of advanced components and systems.

The company last week reported strong sales of its mammoth mining equipment while announcing second-quarter profits surged 91 percent to $707 million.

The plant is expected to employ about 390 full-time workers in five years at an average wage of $40,482 a year, plus benefits. Caterpillar also expects to need another 120 contract workers at the plant.

State officials approved a package of tax rebates, credits and grants worth $16.8 million if the company meets and keeps hiring goals for 11 years. Winston-Salem and Forsyth County offered another $23 million, making the total package of economic sweeteners worth about $40 million.

Caterpillar now employs about 1,000 fulltime workers in North Carolina at locations in Cary, Charlotte, Clayton, Franklin, Goldsboro, Morganton, New Bern, Sanford and Smithfield.

5.7-magnitude quake shakes Iran TEHRAN, Iran – A 5.7magnitude earthquake rattled the northeast Iranian city of Torbat-e Heydariyeh on Friday, injuring at least 110 people.

Iran’s state TV said the quake also damaged several villages and temporarily disrupted communications. The earthquake occured at around 06:20 p.m. local time (14:50 GMT) and rocked the city for about 10 seconds, causing cell phone disconnections.

Russian army to fight fires that killed 25 MOSCOW – Vast sections of Russia were under a state of emergency Friday as more than 10,000 firefighters fought to save villages and forests from being reduced to ash and ember during the country’s hottest summer on record.

At least 25 deaths were reported in the last two days alone and the Kremlin called out the army to help as fires raged over 214,136 acres (87,000 hectares) of woodland and peat bog. More than 1,000 homes have been destroyed.

Kingpin’s death could stir violence MEXICO CITY – One of the world’s most powerful drug cartels took a major hit when soldiers killed a top kingpin in a gunbattle, and his death will likely will mean more violence as factions fight for the cocaine and methamphetamine empire that he left behind.

The flooding capped an already deadly week in Pakistan, which is no stranger to calamities, natural or otherwise. A passenger jet flying in bad weather slammed into hills overlooking

the capital, Islamabad, on Wednesday, killing all 152 people on board.

Three days of heavy monsoonal rains across the northwest caused scores of rivers to burst their banks, tearing down 60 bridges and scores of roads and buildings. Hundreds of villages and towns, along with massive swaths of agricultural land, were under several feet of water.

Associated Press Television News footage showed a powerful torrent running through

the center of Mingora town in the Swat Valley, carrying debris and trees with it. Hundreds of residents trudged through flooded streets as rescue officials used loudspeakers to urge them to evacuate homes in low-lying areas.

An AP reporter traveled in an army helicopter dropping tents and food supplies to stricken communities in the northwest. He flew over around 150 villagers that were inundated close to the border with South Waziristan.

BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraqi police say a roadside bomb north of Baghdad has killed five members of a family, including a 4-year-old girl.

Police spokesman Maj. Ghalib al-Karkhi says the family was not the intended target of Friday’s bombing, which struck their car near the town of Buhriz.

The town is a former stronghold of Saddam Hussein and

is about 35 miles (60 kilometers) north of the capital.

While violence has dropped significantly in Iraq, militants continue to attack members of the Iraqi security forces, and civilians are often caught in the middle.

Iraqi forces are struggling to ensure security as the United States reduces its military presence in the country seven years after toppling Saddam.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – In a summer of suffering, America’s military death toll in Afghanistan is rising, with back-to-back record months for U.S. losses in the grinding conflict.

All signs point to more bloodshed in the months ahead, straining the already shaky international support for the war.

Six more Americans were reported killed in fighting in the south – three Thursday and three Friday – pushing the U.S. death toll for July to a record 66 and surpassing June as the deadliest month for U.S. forces in the nearly nine-year war.

U.S. officials confirmed the latest American deaths Friday but gave no further details.

Pitts lumps all white people in one group Leonard Pitts’ article regarding the Shirley Sherrod episode lumped together conservative white people into one category with Andrew Breitbart and accused us of being racists. I resent this and seek an apology.

He has, in my opinion, used Shirley Sherrod just as the Obama administration and NAACP have – to spew racist anger against the white race. There are racists and always will be on both sides. Prior to Obama, this issue was diminishing with many of us coming together to talk about it.

Pitts points out the racism and meanness of white folks, but I have yet to read any of his articles about those of us who are not racists.

Star-News of Wilmington, July 22 Local municipalities certainly have the right to regulate some of what goes on in their cities and towns.

Just like a home, a workplace or a school, rules are needed to keep things running smoothly and fairly. Health and safety should top the list, and both financial and human resources should be spent on their enforcement.

Which raises the question of whether public officials — especially during a time of financial hardship and staff cutbacks — should be spending much time worrying about flags, roadside vendors selling tomatoes, Arizona immigration laws and sidewalk cafes.

In other words, would their time not be better spent worrying about leaking sewer pipes and other infrastructure problems, rising crime rates, unemployment and over-stressed budgets?

Some of the current anger at government at all levels arises from a sense that its hand sometimes reaches too far and into areas where it’s really not needed.

That’s not to say that the American flag flying over a gas station in Leland is not too big or might violate a rule. But with the other problems we’re facing does it really matter that much right now?

Was there a pressing reason for staff in Southport and Wilmington to take on sidewalk tables at a time when businesses — employers — need to be given every possible consideration to help keep folks coming through their doors and spending money? Did the New Hanover County commissioners need to spend any time debating whether they support a law in a state 2,000 miles away? To what end?

Local governments and the laws and regulations they create are an absolute necessity to make this a safe place to live. But with budgets tighter than ever, some people feel government too often goes looking for problems to solve rather than keeping a laser focus on essential services and oversight.

Governments have only so much political capital and it — along, of course, with financial capital — needs to be spent wisely. Sometimes the best action is no new action. Stay focused on the essential. Don’t shy away when intervention is needed on a problem, but choose the battles judiciously.

GOP should keep Tea Partiers on the fringe

F

ormer Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is now fundraising for Kentucky’s Tea Party Senate candidate Rand Paul. He shows how the GOP establishment and the Tea Party are getting along. Signs suggest that the Republican Party will embrace the activists, along with their wild sides.

Republican backing of the Tea Party is good news for the activists and bad news for the GOP. The Tea Party might become more “sustainable.” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, is likely to be wrong in calling the group “a passing trend.” They will take Republicans’ credibility and organizational strength.

However, the GOP will also take the Tea Party’s reputation for being extremists. The GOP assumes a radical persona, outside the political mainstream.

The Tea Party is sparring and splitting off on account of the NAACP’s recent resolution regarding racism and was then also pressured to take down an Iowa billboard comparing Obama to Hitler and Lenin. The GOP establishment should not want the trouble. They should back away.

The GOP becomes less relevant. For months, they asserted their ability to say “no,” “no” to health care reform and “no” to financial reform. They haven’t had much of a positive agenda for America. House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, called for “a one year moratorium on new regulations.”

They say “no” to government rules at a critical time in our history: Rules are necessary. Some Republicans suggest that their goals are permanent tax cuts and more deregulation. These aims take us back to the George W. Bush years and offer nothing to tired citizens.

The establishment GOP is struggling with exactly what are their main issues. What issues do they want to take to the people in 2010 and beyond? They are not sure, so they

back radical populism. They cozy up with Tea Partiers, who have made the absurd part of their rhetoric. Republicans are swayed to errant extremism for lack of something better to say.

An inarticulate agenda and OPINION the polarization of politics are making moderates a faction Kristine of the past. Republicans do Kaiser not need to be polar opposites ■■■ of the Democrats. They do not need to be diametrically opposed to most moves made by the majority party. They should see themselves in oppositional increments and not take on the whole of issues. Distance need not be so wide or so dramatic. The GOP can only view itself standing across the street and never, at some point, crossing. The Republicans’ will to oppose is their striking characteristic.

It’s time for the Republican Party to reconsider its close association with the Tea Partiers. The GOP has much to lose from taking up with extremists. Ideally, Republicans need to nurture a party that appeals to some Democrats. GOPers need a Reagan-like leadership. They need to rely on mainstream values. They need to come to the center, pushing away the far right wing. Or if they want to be very inclusive, then include the Tea Party, but do not make its absurdities the main principles of the Republican Party.

Let the GOP be a big responsible tent.

I am for a strong two-party government.

Let the Republicans return to their think tanks and come up with plans for all America. Let the Republican establishment stand on time-tested traditions and avoid further radicalization. Let them be careful about how they merge.

Mother Teresa’s heart was filled with love A

s the saying goes, some people need no introduction. The following are quotes from Mother Teresa.

To children and to the poor, to all those who suffer and are lonely, give them always a happy smile; give them not only your care but also your heart. We may not be able to give much, but we can always give the joy that springs from a heart that is filled with love.

Every act of love is a work of peace, no matter how small.

It may happen that a mere smile, a short visit, the lighting of a lamp, writing a letter for a blind man, carrying a bucket of charcoal, offering a pail or sandals, reading the newspaper for someone – something small, very small – may, in fact, be our love of God in actions. Listening, when no one else volunteers to listen, is no doubt a very noble thing.

Holiness grows fast where there is kindness. I have never

heard of kind souls going astray. The world is lost for want of sweetness and kindness.

Love, to be real, must cost – it must hurt – it must STUDYING empty us of self.

Sacrifice, surrenTHE CHURCH der, and suffering are not popular Mark topics nowadays.

Nickens Our culture makes ■■■ us believe that we can have it all, that we should demand our rights, that with the right technology all pain and problems can be overcome. This is not my attitude toward sacrifice. I know that it is impossible to relieve the world’s suffering unless God’s people are willing to surrender to God, to make sacrifices, and to suffer along with the poor.

Hungry for love, He looks at you. Thirsty for kindness, He begs of you. Naked for loyalty, He

hopes in you. Homeless for shelter in your heart, He asks of you.

Will you be that one to Him? At a seminary in Bangalore, a nun once said to me, “Mother Teresa, you are spoiling the poor people by giving them things free. They are losing their human dignity.” When everyone was quiet, I said calmly, “No one spoils as much as God himself.

See the wonderful gifts he has given us freely. All of you here have no glasses, yet you all can see.

If God were to take money for your sight, what would happen?

Continually we are breathing and living on oxygen that we do not pay for. What would happen if God were to say, “If you work four hours, you will get sunshine for two hours?” How many of us would survive then?” Then I also told them, “There are many congregations that spoil the rich; it is good to have one congregation in the name of the poor, to spoil the poor.” There was profound silence;

nobody said a word after that.

One evening we went out and rescued four people off the streets. One of them was in a desperate condition. I told the sisters, ‘You take care of the others. I will care for this one who is worse off.” I did everything for her that my love could do. I put her into bed, and I saw a beautiful smile light up her face. She squeezed my hand and only managed to say two words: “Thank you.” And then she closed her eyes. I couldn’t help but ask myself there beside her body, “What would I have said if I had been in her place?” My answer was very simple. I would have said that I was hungry, that I was dying, that I was cold. Or I would have said that this or that part of my body hurt or something like that.

But she gave me much more. She gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face.

Be Careful Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. R.S.V. Philippians 4:6

T

aking risks is a necessary and unavoidable part of life. Every time we sit down to eat or take a ride in an automobile, we are taking risks. But, we minimize those risks by smelling our food before we eat it and by driving safely and wearing our seat belts. While we cannot completely abolish risk from our lives, there are many simple and straightforward ways that we can minimize them. We all know, or should know, that the risks imposed by smoking and eating unhealthy foods are significant and far outweigh any benefit we receive from them. The rules for living a healthy, low-risk lifestyle are pretty simple and straightforward: Eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, avoid recreational drugs and overconsumption of alcohol, avoid unsafe sexual activities, and drive carefully. This may sound a lot like what your mother has been saying for years, and with good reason. Mothers know that life is inherently risky and they usually make every effort to safeguard their children. We should all remember that life is a precious gift, and our life is not ours to throw away on risky endeavors or frivolous pastimes.

A positive life-changing organization and its book

Pilgrims must pay to attend 2 pope events in UK LONDON (AP) – Pilgrims will have to pay as much as 25 pounds ($39) to attend one of the two public events in England to be led by Pope Benedict XVI during his visit in September, church officials said Wednesday.

The charges – believed to be a first for a papal event – are for a prayer vigil in London’s Hyde Park on Sept. 18 and the beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman in Birmingham on Sept. 19.

Benedict’s four-day visit to England and Scotland has been controversial almost from the start, with thousands of Britons signing a petition earlier this year against the pope’s presence in the wake of outrage over sex crimes against children committed by Catholic priests.

Critics have also complained about the cost. Chris Patten, the official coordinating the event, has said the taxpayers’ tab for the visit to Britain could be as much as 12 million pounds.

I have had the privilege of encouraging and motivating tens of thousands SHARING of people to give THE SPIRIT millions of dollars Bill for worthy Ellis causes. â– â– â– Not long ago I had an invitation to speak at an area-wide fund raising dinner for The Boy Scouts of America. Among gifts to me at the end of my speech was a brand new copy of The Boy Scout Handbook, which I highly treasure.

My strong recommendation is that every teacher, pastor, doctor, psychologist, coach, student, boy and man be sure you own a copy of this great book and make it a practice to read it often. This book, if read and obeyed, could change the life of America and the world.

During the last 10 days, more than 46,000 Boy Scouts, leaders, staff and volunteers from all over the world have been together for the 2010

have a tremendously important event on his schedule to pass up an opportunity to be present and speak personally to this group of outstanding young Americans.

The community that surrounds this military facility in Bowling Green, Caroline County, Virginia, is expected to receive $75 million as the result of the Boy Scouts and their friends being there. That is what I call an economic stimulus package and all without borrowing.

You can obtain your own copy of this lifechanging and government-changing book by writing to: BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA, P. O. Box 152079, Irving, Texas

School officials consider raises

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – The Guilford County Board of Education wants to explore a 1 percent raise for hourly workers before approving the 2011 district budget.

Sharon Ozment, district chief financial officer, told the board Thursday that with a few adjustments the district budget could be balanced with little additional impact to employees and classroom instruction.

But several school board members said they wanted to see if the district could afford the raises as well as keeping 5.5 custodian positions valued at

BUDGET BALANCE

–

Avoided: A two-day staff furlough or pay reduction to save as much as $3.8 million.

Medicaid: The U.S. Senate failed to pass a $16 billion boost in Medicaid assistance for the states. The state could impose a 1 percent reversion to cover the allotments only after drawing from reserve funds, according to N.C. Association of County Commissioners budget analysis. Twenty-nine states included the Medicaid money in their budgets. North Carolina’s share is about $500 million.

$177,000. Ozment said she would have to find $1.2 million.

Board member Darlene Garrett pushed for raises for workers who have received none for several years. Classified employees include bus drivers,

custodians and lunchroom workers.

“I’d like to work it out,” said board member Kris Cooke. “The classified employees come up short all too often.”

Board Chairman Alan Duncan and board mem-

ber Garth Hebert of High Point voted against the proposal which passed 82.

“The state will come up short again next year,” Hebert said. “We are talking about a 1 percent raise when some of these people will be lucky to have jobs.

I think we will cut teachers next year. Things will get worse.”

The district’s budget totals about $650 million.

The balance figure, mostly based on state cutbacks, is $9.4 million. Ozment said she could compensate by holding 31 percent of formula funds that go to the schools for a potential year-end 1 percent state reversion for Medicaid of $3.6 million and using

reserves of about $4 million.

“We hope to be able to avoid the Medicaid payment,” Ozment said.

Duncan said he did not want to cut school funds any more and downgrade a vacant top administrative post while eliminating another to save $140,000.

Ozment also suggested using school resource officers in High Point and Greensboro for 11 months and reducing vehicle maintenance for the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department to save $295,000.

Postponing scheduled purchase of computers would save $300,000. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – The revised Ragsdale High School upgrade plan includes several improvements not listed in the original specifications.

The project includes major renovations to the high school and joining it to the old Jamestown Middle School. A new high school gymnasium, media center and administrative offices will be built. A $10 million wing designed for as many as 100 autistic students will be added.

With original construction bids about $5.7 million over the $30 million budget, school officials have reviewed designs to rebid the project closer to the budget allowance.

The revised upgrade plan includes a new band and chorus room, new lockers for the 9th grade gymnasium and removing walls in the old middle school to make way for high school science labs.

“These won’t be brand new facilities, but it will be updated,” Guilford County Board of Education Chairman Alan Duncan said Thursday.

The school board will move $4 million leftover from the new Eastern Guilford High School project to pay for the additional upgrades. “We may be able to do all of this with this money, or we may not,” Duncan said.

“We think it can be done for less than the $5.7 million overbid amount.”

The school auditorium also needs refurbishing as does the weight room, Duncan said. The revised plan also calls for saving the sports practice fields, if possible.

Many Jamestown residents are mistrustful because the school board spent bond money listed for Ragsdale High and Jamestown Middle School on other voter approved school projects on the 2003 bond referendum list. “You don’t want to rebid what went out in May without making sure that Ragsdale gets all it was intended to have,” said board member Nancy Routh.

School officials said last month that it could take 90 days for architects to prepare revised plans and a revised bid package. The bid was the first for a 2008 bond project to go over budget. “How did we get so far over budget?” said board member Garth Hebert of High Point. “We have to find out what went wrong.”

Once under way, it could take two years to finish all construction. Moseley Architecture designed the project, and D.H. Griffin Construction of Greensboro is project manager. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Norman Andrews, (right) owner of Uptowne Tavern along with his son, Allen (not pictured), talks with customers at lunch.

Welcome to the neighborhood Uptowne Tavern owners aim to become area hangout

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A restaurant owner on N. Main Street in High Point has jumped on the bandwagon of the City Project’s efforts to revitalize the area.

Allen Andrews bought the former Harrison’s Restaurant at 1807 N. Main St. in May and recently renamed the business Uptowne Tavern. The name comes from Uptowne High Point, a term coined by the City Project that refers to the area bordered by Ray Avenue on the south and State Street on the north.

One of the organization’s missions is to increase business activity in the area.

The restaurant is just north of State Street, but co-owner Norman Andrews said the name fits the restaurant’s goal of being a destination for High Pointers along N. Main Street.

“I figured somebody was go-

ing to grab that name before long with all of the Uptowne things going on, so I thought I would be the one to do it.”

He runs the restaurant along

‘I’d love for us to be a ‘Cheers’ type of neighborhood hangout where people feel like we know who they are and what they want to eat.’

Allen Andrews Co-owner with his son, Allen Andrews, who worked at Harrison’s and Ham’s Restaurant when it also was located in the building.

“I’m a retired real estate appraiser, so I’m new at this,”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Norman Andrews said. “But my son knows the business well.”

Minor renovations such as paint and fixes to the outdoor patio were made, but otherwise the causal dining atmosphere has stayed the same, he said. The menu has been expanded and now includes new items such as beef skewers and chicken quesadillas.

Catering is also still being offered by the restaurant.

What minor changes were made reflect the management’s desire to be a popular eatery and hang out destination in the Uptowne area, according to the father-son duo.

“We felt like we were close enough to Uptowne to do something with this,” said Allen Andrews. “I’d love for us to be a ‘Cheers’ type of neighborhood hangout where people feel like we know who they are and what they want to eat.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Attorney general suspends some work at crime lab RALEIGH (AP) – The outside investigation of the state crime lab has led North Carolina’s attorney general to suspend the six-agent unit that analyzes bloodstain patterns.

Attorney General Roy Cooper said Friday that he asked the two former assistant directors with the Federal Bureau of Investigation who are investigating the lab to review cases involving bloodstain pattern analysis.

They agreed that the unit’s work should be suspended temporarily until all issues have been reviewed, Cooper said.

“The merits of blood spatter have been debated in a number of court cases, and I think it’s essential that the SBI pursue all available training and certification for that type of investigation,” Cooper said in an interview Friday.

Cooper declined to say what cases had prompted his concern, saying he wanted to wait until the outside investigators report on their findings. Their contract runs through the end of the year.

He did say he was not aware of any other crime lab units whose work might warrant suspension.

The effect of the suspension on cases wasn’t immediately clear. Cooper said the analysis isn’t used that frequently.

The lab is part of the State Bureau of Investigation, where Cooper named a new director Thursday. He replaced Robin Pendergraft, who has defended the SBI and the lab over the outside investigation, with Greg McLeod, his legislative liaison.

McLeod takes over next week.

Suspect in 2 Panama killings eluded police in US RALEIGH (AP) – A North Carolina man accused of killing two Americans in Panama was married with three kids, living a successful life with a lucrative landscaping business and a beautiful mountain home.

That was six years ago. Then things went from promising to problematic for William Dathan Holbert.

He split from his wife and family. He sold his business, filed for bankruptcy and stopped paying child support.

Authorities said his life on the run started soon after.

He sold a $200,000 coastal home he didn’t own, and a car he had stolen in Montana, according to law enforcement officials. He used aliases and eluded authorities in at least six states, even escaping police in an off-road, high-speed chase in Wyoming.

Holbert turned up this week in Nicaragua, along with a new wife, who acquantinances said appeared to be a woman he met in North Carolina as his family life crumbled. He was deported Thursday to Panama to face charges in the killings of two Americans found buried behind a hotel, and the couple face questioning in the disappearances of 5 other people, reportedly three Americans and two Panamanian workers.

The couple are charged with killing Cheryl Lynn Hughes, 53, a St. Louis, Mo., native who had lived in Panama for 10 years, and Bo Icelar, who a friend described as the former owner of a Santa Fe, N.M., gallery. Investigators in Panama said the killings may have been part of a scheme to steal the victims’ property.

Known as William Cortez in Panama, authorities said Holbert and his wife preyed on residents of the scenic coastal Bocas del Toro region. People who knew Holbert in the U.S. said the woman arrested alongside him appeared to be, Laura Michelle Reese, whom he met in 2004 after selling his landscaping business.

He was helping manage a fitness club in Asheville for about 10 weeks when he struck up a romantic relationship with Reese.

A stepping out landscape can take place of lawn

L

awns are not for everyone.

If you are tired of mowing every warm week of the year and fertilizing twice a year and overseeding and aerating, maybe you need to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Step outâ&#x20AC;? in your landscape. A company called, Under A foot Plant Company in Salem Oregon, has created â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stepablesâ&#x20AC;? plants which are â&#x20AC;&#x153;good for your sole.â&#x20AC;?

This company has more than 130 varieties of plants it has developed or identified for patios, pathways, accents, shade, herb gardens and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play areas and under trees to mention a few spots often difficult to grow plants.

It claims their collection of tough durable and dependable plants will not only sur-

vive, but thrive.

Most homeowners have at least one problem landscape area in their yard that needs attention.

The ECOLOGY companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mantra is to plant Gwyn STEPABLES in Riddick any area where â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; bark or mulch would normally be placed. They suggest that you consider what your problem spot will be like in the middle of summer in regards to climate. This time of the year is most stressful for most plants due to water ups and owns and high heat. If you know your site conditions, you can make a

better choice of plants to use.

The Plant company also has selected plants that will take foot traffic under three conditions. â&#x20AC;˘ Light Traffic: Plants will take foot traffic one to two times a week. â&#x20AC;˘ Moderate Traffic: Plants will take foot traffic two or three times a day. â&#x20AC;˘ Heavy traffic: Plants will take foot traffic three or more times a day.

According to their ads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;STEPABLES are earth-friendly, easy-to-maintain perennials that take foot traffic. These little green heroes can liberate you from that not-so-green mower, cut down on the use of chemicals and create lovely beds of color! They also foster

friendly habitats for all kinds of great beneficial critters.â&#x20AC;?

The company has selected a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tough tenâ&#x20AC;? grouping of varieties that are durable and dependable. Irish Moss, Scotch Moss, Blue Star Creeper, Mazus Purple, Wooly Thyme, Elfin Thyme, Sedum â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Creechâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Golden Creeping Jenny, Ajuga Chocolate Chip and Veronica New Century.

The company claims that most STEPABLES are maintenance free. Once established, many of the varieties can be mowed or cut with a weed eater or edger.

They recommend a general liquid fertilizer of 20-20-20 during the growing season to promote plant growth and blooms.

I have a good patch of the Golden Creeping Jenny also

called Lysimachia nummularia Aurea. It is a fast spreading plant that features small, round gold leaves and yellow flowers.

Great for borders, near drain spouts or in containers and a dependable groundcover for areas where other plants fail.

PET OF THE WEEK

Happy empty nester objects to baby-sitting

Dear G-Ma: How does your daughter feel about this arrangement? What about Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father and his paternal grandparents? Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they be getting equal time with the child, too? If your daughter is a single mother, it is unfair for her to expect her parents to baby-sit Connor every weekend.

I agree that your husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior is obsessive. You deserve time for yourself, so TAKE it. If your husband wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cooperate,

schedule activities with some of your women friends. Do not allow yourself ADVICE to be bullied into Dear being an Abby unwilling â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; baby sitter because it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t healthy for any of you.

Dear Abby: I am a 13year-old girl and I really enjoy drawing. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 17-year-old boy in my school, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christopher,â&#x20AC;? who I am dying to draw.

He has a wonderful profile, a fascinating smile, challenging hair that hangs over his eyes in an interesting way, great posture, grace and beautiful hands. Shall I go on?

Every time I see Christopher I want to grab a camera and get some good snapshots to use as a reference for sketching him later. I especially want to capture him in action â&#x20AC;&#x201C; running, jumping, fencing or something like that. I also want to do a portrait of him.

How can I get some photos of him without being embarrassed or getting teased? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one teacher who would definitely tease me if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m too obvious. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Future Famous Artist in Georgia Dear Artist: Why not

try the direct approach?

Tell Christopher that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on an art project, and ask him if he would mind if you used him as a model. Tell him it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take up much of his time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to snap some reference shots of him running, jumping, a threequarter picture of his head and shoulders and his profile. He might be flattered at the idea. And if you get teased about it, say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Abby says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Art without passion is mechanical drawing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Dear Abby: My daughter is being married on a very limited budget. She is thinking about handing out drink tickets at the reception to limit alcohol consumption. The reason is the cost. I think it sounds tacky, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than a cash bar.

What do you think? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Budget-conscious Mama in Missouri Dear Mama: Nowhere is it written that alcohol must be consumed at a wedding reception.

Many couples offer punch or cider to their guests instead, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I recommend your daughter do.

NH manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maple collection makes up bulk of museum

BY KATHY MCCORMACK ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

B

ETHLEHEM, N.H. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; To know Charlie Stewart was to know his maple collection.

Old sap buckets and yokes, sugar molds, spouts, yards of tubing, tin syrup containers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he had it all. Along with old postcards and bottle memorabilia, the longtime Sugar Hill syrup farmer gathered hundreds of maple-related items throughout his lifetime. Many date back to the 1800s.

Stewart, who died in 2006 at age 77, frequented farm auctions and antique shops and put ads in local weekly papers in pursuit of anything maple. He paid whatever it took for an item â&#x20AC;&#x153;so that it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end up on a wall in a house in California,â&#x20AC;? said friend and fellow maple farmer David

Fuller of Lancaster.

Stewart, who left his collection to the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association, wanted to preserve the past and hoped to feature his collection in a museum one day. Now, it is.

A sampling of the many items â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have yet to be catalogued or appraised â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are on display at the new maple museum in the White Mountains town of Bethlehem. The museum tells the story of the enterprise, innovations that have improved the process through the years, how to recognize different maple trees and facts about sap gathering and tree age.

To Stewart, â&#x20AC;&#x153;each one of these artifacts had a story,â&#x20AC;? said David Scanlan, a maple producer in Canaan for 23 years, now New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy secretary of state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He could tell you who owned

it before he did, what they used it for.â&#x20AC;?

Scanlan, the museum president, said a videographer shot footage of Stewart talking about his collection a while back, and there has been discussion about including it in the museum, one of several in the region. Vermont, which produces the most maple syrup in the area, has the New England Maple Museum in Pittsford.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the American Maple Museum in Croghan, N.Y. New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s museum, which debuted during maple season and reopened for the summer and fall, comes as the state has been working in recent years to boost its image as a maple syrup producer. It usually is listed as third in New England, behind Vermont and Maine.

Nationally, it is listed fifth.

ear Abby: Our daughter gave birth to an adorable little boy three years ago. We love â&#x20AC;&#x153;Connorâ&#x20AC;? dearly, but my husband is obsessed with him. He wants our grandson at our house every weekend from the time we are done working on Friday until Sunday evening or Monday morning.

My husband wants to take Connor everywhere we go. Abby, I love my grandson, but after raising our own children, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d now like to focus on our lives and maybe have time for myself. If I say anything, my husband becomes furious and tells me I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love our grandson. Of course I do, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want every spare moment of my life wrapped up in him. Your advice, please? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s G-Ma in Virginia

THREE CLUBS South’s play wasn’t realistic. If West had six cards in the red suits, he had no more clubs, so South could succeed by forcing out the ace of trumps.

But after the king of trumps wins, South does best to lead a low trump to his jack. If West ducks, South continues with the K-Q of diamonds and AK-Q of hearts. He then leads his last heart, and West can get only his ace of trumps.

BRIDGE An optimist looks through one end of the telescope, a pessimist through the other end.

Winning bridge players are realists.

Playing at four spades, South ruffed the third club and led a trump.

When dummy’s king won, he led the queen next.

West played low again, and South had problems.

If he led a third trump, West would win and force South to ruff another club with his last trump, and West would still have a trump. So South took the K-Q of diamonds and three heart tricks and then tried to cash the ace of diamonds. Alas, West ruffed and scored his ace of trumps. Down one.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 10 9 5 3 H Q 10 7 4 D K Q C 9 6. Dealer, at your left, opens one heart. Your partner doubles, and the next player bids two hearts. What do you say?

ANSWER: You shouldn’t consider a penalty double (and in many partnerships a double wouldn’t be for penalty anyway). The issue is how many spades to bid. Since your queen of hearts is wasted for offense, bid two spades. If you had J 10 9 5 3, 10 7 4 2, A K, 9 6, you’d jump to three spades to invite game.

North dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

Does creatine have a place in an athlete’s life?

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I play all sports, and I work hard at staying in shape. I am 16. I’ve read lots about creatine and would like to try it. My dad says I’ll get into trouble by using it. He says it’s a banned substance, and I won’t be allowed to play if I’m tested for it. Is it a steroid? What’s your opinion about it? – K.D.

BLONDIE

Creatine isn’t a steroid.

When talking about athletics and musclebuilding, “steroid” has a very restricted meaning.

It denotes drugs related to the male hormone testosterone. In medicine, steroid has a much broader meaning. It includes drugs with a bona fide place in treatment, the large family of cortisone drugs. They are used in the treatment of many serious illnesses and have nothing to do with muscle-building.

Creatine is composed of amino acids, the basic units of proteins. It’s not banned. Athletes are not tested for its use.

Why creatine has gained such popularity has to do with energy production. Creatine has an important role in generating two substances used in the production of sudden bursts of energy needed for activities like sprinting, jumping and weightlifting. Those two substances are creatine phosphate and adenosine triphosphate. Stores of those energy molecules are small and are exhausted in less than a minute of vigorous exer-

tion. To continue at high energy expenditures, they have to be regenHEALTH erated.

Creatine Dr. Paul does that.

Donohue The ■■■ interest in creatine as a muscle-building substance comes from its ability to sustain high outputs of energy longer.

A weightlifter is able to lift heavier weights for longer periods. That increases the potential for larger and stronger muscles.

All of this is quite theoretical. Some studies support the use of creatine as a modest help in building larger and stronger muscles. Others do not.

Its dangers are few. It might upset the stomach.

For those with kidney problems, it could make the problems worse. The likelihood that it would hurt you is slim.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 64, and I like to jog. I am noncompetitive and run at my own moderate pace. I run every day that I can, sometimes five or six days in a row.

My distance is three to four miles.

Recently someone told me that I should run only every other day so my body can recoup from the previous day’s running.

My doctor knows that I run, but not the schedule

I keep. Would it be better to walk on alternate days? – J.C. Your program is sensible and more than acceptable. We’re encouraged to exercise on all or most days of the week. It depends, of course, if you are in good health. Tell your program to your doctor.

Weightlifting requires a day of rest before exercising the same muscles.

If a person wishes to lift every day, that’s OK so long as the same muscles aren’t exercised on consecutive days.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a senior citizen. The other night, I had an incident that is not well explained. At 3 a.m., I tried to get out of bed to empty my bladder. My muscles would not move. My bowels, bladder and muscles gave out. I called 911 and was taken to the hospital.

After EKGs, heart scans and many other tests, I was declared fine and felt fine. It was a muscle thing. What is “hitting the wall,” an expression used by marathon runners? I think that might be what I had. – B.E. “Hitting the wall” indicates the onset of great fatigue when the body’s supply of glycogen, stored muscle sugar, is depleted. Fat then becomes the source for energy. Its utilization is slower than is that of glycogen. I don’t know what happened to you. It wasn’t the same phenomenon as hitting the wall.

Stewart takes Pocono pole LONG POND, Pa. (AP) – Tony Stewart unbuttoned the top button on his racing suit and let out a sigh.

Qualifying for the pole always makes a trip to Pocono Raceway more fun. Stewart zipped his No. 14 Chevy for a qualifying lap Friday of 171.393 mph around the 2.5-mile triangle track to start from the top for Sunday’s Pennsylvania 500.

“Man, it felt good,” Stewart said. “If you want a place where you want good track position, it’s here at Pocono.”

Juan Pablo Montoya will start second in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race for an impressive follow-up to last week’s pole start but disappointing 32nd-place finish at the Brickyard 400.

Denny Hamlin will start third as he tries to sweep both Pocono races. Hamlin won the Pocono 500 in June.

They’ll both have to get past Stewart first, who’s got a little experience with starting up front at the Tricky Triangle.

Stewart Stewart started the June race in sixth place, and finished third.

He was awarded the pole at the two Pocono stops in 2009 after rainouts washed out qualifying.

This time, Stewart sped his way to the top. He said he felt good going around the first two turns before thinking he hit a rough spot around Turn 3.

“I felt like I might have lost a little bit of time there, but we got through there pretty good, too apparently. Better than I thought, I guess,” Stewart said.

Good enough for his second pole of the season, the first com-

Jeff Gordon’s crew chief gets contract extension. 4C ing at Texas Motor Speedway in April. Ninth in the points race, Stewart hopes to get a boost as the schedule draws closer to the Chase playoffs.

And to think, Stewart considers qualifying a “weak suit.”

“The qualifying run for sure, I’m hoping is a glimmer of hope to what the rest of the weekend will hold for us,” Stewart said.

He’s had first-place finishes at Pocono in 2009 and 2003.

Few others have had as much success at Pocono than Hamlin, who has turned the triangle into his personal playground. Besides the June victory, he also won the

Pennsylvania 500 last year and both Pocono races in 2006.

He’s slumped the last five weeks, finishing no higher than eighth in that stretch. Pocono could give his No. 11 Toyota team a spark for the season’s stretch run as they try to climb from their third-place standing in driver points.

Earlier Friday, Hamlin acknowledged he had been fined

by NASCAR for making critical comments about the racing series, but not even that touchy subject could dampen his day.

“No, not really,” Hamlin said when asked if there was extra motivation because of the revelation about the fine. “Really, there’s no relation either way.”

Montoya, 22nd in points and out of contention, plans to use Pocono as a venue where his team “can try a lot of things.”

Weaver falls one shot short ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. – High Point’s Drew Weaver roller-coaster ride in round two of The Greenbrier Classic produced four bogeys and three birdies on Friday.

The end result left the former High Weaver Point Central and Virginia Tech star one stroke short of making the cut.

Weaver, playing on a sponsor’s exemption, carded solid rounds of 2-under 68 and 1-over 71 in the PGA Tour stop at the 7,031-yard, par-70 Old White Course.

That 139 total wound up one excruciating shot off the cut line. Weaver was one of 18 players in the group at 139.

Jeff Overton leads after a pair of sizzling rounds. He posted 64 and 62 for a 14under 126 total and a fourstroke advantage over Boo Weekley.

Weaver’s up-and-down round two included birdies at Nos. 3, 12 and 17 as well as bogeys at Nos. 6, 8, 11 and 16. Overall, Weaver tied for 70th in the field.

Weaver gets another chance to tee it up on the PGA Tour later this month at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro.

The 2007 British Amateur champion will play at Sedgefield August 16-22 on a sponsor’s exemption.

Thomasville HiToms’ infielder Alex Yarbrough waits to tag Columbia’s Ryan McCormick out at second base during Friday night’s Coastal Plain League game at Finch Field.

HiToms escape with 8-7 victory

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Bucking a trend from earlier in the season, the HiToms refused to fold Friday night.

After blowing a five-run lead and trailing by one, Thomasville took advantage of the last of seven Columbia errors to escape with an 8-7 Coastal Plain League victory.

Winning for the third straight time, the Tommie improved to 6-18 in the second half and 16-36 overall.

“We’ve been preaching to them don’t get down something is going to happen, someone is going to make a mistake, so don’t hang your head, don’t let the wind get out of your sails,” HiToms head coach Tom Dorzweiler said. “We’ve gradually seen if they hang in there, if we can come back and hang in there, we can win a ball game.”

The crucial Blowfish mistake came on a throwing area after Kevin Sanders singled in the bottom of the eighth. The error allowed Sanders to go to second and Chris Fritts to go to third, setting the stage for Kyle Grieshaber to lash a two-run double off Thomas Little for what proved to be the game winner.

Columbia loaded the bases before T.J. Clarkson replaced Johnny Hoffman and struck out the last two batters, the last K on a questionable third strike. Hoffman, who was the third HiToms pitcher, got the win as the Blowfish dropped to 11-13 and 23-29.

“T.J. came to me before the game and said he wanted to get in because he has college teammates on the other team,” Dorzweiler said. “I told him if the situation comes, I’m going to give you the ball. He did a great job.”

Thomasville won despite giving

up six walks, six stolen bases and committing four errors in a sloppy game.

The HIToms got off to a solid start with a four-run third on three singles and a walk. Kevin Sanders and David Roney scored when Cass Harigs singled to center and the throw toward the plate bounced off the pitching rubber and bounded away. Yarbrough and Hargis then scored on a single by Ben Grisz.

The lead was 6-1 when Columbia drew even in the sixth by using two walks, an error, a single and David Greene’s three-run homer to score five runs.

Greene’s shot provided a rude welcome for Matt Dillon, who came on relief for Zack Bernard.

The HiToms return to action by hosting Petersburg on Sunday and close out the season by entertaining Gastonia on Monday. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

HIT AND RUN

anny White once called the starting quarterback job with the Dallas Cowboys the most stressful position in America.

He should know. White spent parts of eight seasons as the Cowboys starting QB. While he set numerous franchise passing marks and led the team to a pair of conference championship game appearances, White never took Dallas to the Super Bowl.

And Super Bowl championships are how Cowboy quarterbacks are measured.

Tony Romo can appreciate White’s sentiment. As he enters his fourth season at the Cowboy helm, Romo owns several team passing marks – but no Super Bowl titles.

Despite his 38-17 record as a starter, Romo

has yet to guide Dallas to the big game.

Since joining the NFL in 1960, Dallas’ starting quarterbacks fit neatly into two groups – Super Bowl champions and the other guys.

Roger Staubach, who started nearly every game between 1971 and ‘79, directed the Cowboys to four NFC championships and two Super Bowl crowns. Troy Aikman, the main man from 1989-2000, owns three Super Bowl rings. Both men are Pro Football Hall of Famers.

The other guys include some pretty good signal-callers – “Dandy” Don Meredith, Craig Morton and White are the best known of that lot.

But for all their talent and toughness, that trio is remembered mostly for zero Super Bowl victories.

Romo hopes to secure his place in the former group. This season could represent his best chance to do just that.

Dallas returns 20 of 22 starters from last season’s NFC East championship squad. The Cowboys aim to end a 15-year Super Bowl drought, and if they do, they’ll become the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium.

The Cowboys enter training camp with sky-high expectations. Anything less than an NFL championship will be a disappointment for most Dallas fans.

It’s easy to see the recipe for lots of stress in this scenario.

Good luck, Tony.

Former Dodgers pitcher Billy Loes dies at 80 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Billy Loes, who pitched on three pennant-winning Brooklyn Dodgers teams in the 1950s and was an AL All-Star in 1957, has died. He was 80.

Loes died July 15 at a hospice in Tucson, Ariz., his wife Irene confirmed on Friday from her home in Chapel Hill, N.C. He had diabetes for several years and had open heart surgery a few years ago, she said.

A right-hander from Queens, N.Y., Loes pitched for the Dodgers (1950, 1952-56), Baltimore Orioles (1956-59) and San Francisco Giants (1960-61). He had an 80-63 record with 645 strikeouts and a 3.89 ERA during his 11-year career.

His best season was in 1953, when he went 14-8 for the pennant-winning Dodgers.

Born William Loes on Dec. 13, 1929, he made his debut with the Dodgers in 1950, then rejoined them in 1952 after serving in the Army.

The Loes had no children. Irene Loes said the couple married in 1984, but had been separated the last 19 years although they never divorced.

ECU’s McNeill hires Texas Tech assistant

GREENVILLE (AP) — East Carolina has hired Texas Tech assistant Duane Price as its defensive tackles coach.

First-year coach Ruffin McNeill on Friday also said running backs coach Clay McGuire would coordinate the Pirates’ special teams and shifted tackles coach Marc Yellock to defensive ends coach.

The staff shuffle comes after Mark Nelson resigned as an assistant earlier this week.

School officials said he admitted to violating NCAA rules by evaluating players during voluntary summer activities.

The 34-year-old Price was a graduate

assistant last season at Texas Tech. He had been retained by new Tech coach Tommy Tuberville and spent the spring coaching the Red Raiders’ secondary.

McNeill calls Price “a master technician and motivator with an unmatched work ethic.”

Rays frustrate A-Rod, Yankees for 3-2 win THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Wade Davis shrugged off a rocky start to pitch seven innings and Matt Joyce hit a three-run homer Friday night to lead the surging Tampa Bay Rays over the New York Yankees 3-2.

Tampa Bay forced Alex Rodriguez to wait at least one more day to join the 600-home run club, and the second-place Rays matched their longest winning streak of the season at seven games. The Rays pulled within one game of the AL Eastleading Yankees with their 11th win in 12 home games.

Derek Jeter singled and Nick Swisher homered to begin the game against Davis (9-9), who settled to limit the Yankees to one hit – Robinson Cano’s sixth-inning, broken bat single – and three walks over after that.

Joyce’s homer with two outs in the sixth ruined an otherwise outstanding performance

by New York’s Phil Hughes (12-4). Reliever Joaquin Benoit pitched a perfect eighth for Tampa Bay. Alfonso Soriano got the final three outs, including retiring Rodriguez on a pop foul to begin the ninth, for his 29th save in 31 opportunities.

A-Rod’s quest was just part of the lure for a sellout crowd of 36,973 that packed Tropicana Field, where the Yankees are visiting for the first time since the death of owner and long-time Tampa resident George Steinbrenner.

With the teams owning the top two records in baseball and battling for first place in

the AL East, the entire threegame series sold out in advance – a first for the Rays, who have never played before three consecutive full houses at home.

A moment of silence was observed before the game for Steinbrenner, a long-time Tampa resident who died of a heart attack on July 13.

Rodriguez struck out with the bases empty in the first inning, flied to right field to end the third and popped out in foul territory in the sixth against Davis. The slugger entered the night 4-for-8 with two career homers against the right-hander. Rodriguez finished 0-for-4 and is 9-for-34 with eight RBIs in eight games since hitting No. 599 on July 22.

BLUE JAYS 8, INDIANS 1 TORONTO – Jose Bautista hit a grand slam, his major league-leading 31st home run, Fred Lewis added a solo shot and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Cleveland Indians 81 on Friday night, their sixth win in seven games.

NATIONALS 8, PHILLIES 1 WASHINGTON – Craig Stammen carried a shutout into the seventh inning and the Washington Nationals roughed up Roy Oswalt in his Philadelphia debut, halting the Phillies’ eight-game winning streak with an 8-1 win.

Oswalt (6-13), a former 20game winner acquired from Houston in a four-player trade Thursday, allowed five runs – four earned – and seven hits in six innings. He walked two, struck out four and hit two batters.

New York’s Alex Rodriguez strikes out in the first inning of Friday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, Fla. A-Rod went 0-for-4 as the Yankees lost 3-2. Rodriguez remained stuck on 599 career home runs for the eighth consecutive game.

Tseng tops Women’s British Open THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SOUTHPORT, England – Taiwan’s Yani Tseng shot her second straight 4-under 68 on Friday to open a four-stroke lead in the Women’s British Open.

The 21-year-old Tseng, playing in calm, dry morning condtions at Royal Birkdale, had five birdies and bogey in the second round. She won the Kraft Nabisco in April for her second major title and third LPGA Tour title.

LPGA Championship winner Cristie Kerr (67), Brittany Lincicome (71) and Amy Yang (71) were tied for second. Michelle Wie (76) was 10 strokes behind Tseng.

Rain washed over Royal Birkdale in the afternoon, making things dif-

ficult for the late starters – including defending champion Catriona Matthew of Scotland, who missed the cut by seven strokes after making a 10 at the par-four 13th hole.

OVERTON SETS BLISTERING PACE WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. – Jeff Overton shot an 8-under 62 to take a four-stroke lead midway through the inaugural Greenbrier Classic.

Overton, winless in five years on the PGA Tour, shot the low round of the tournament, using wedges on all but one approach shot during a bogey-free round on the Old White course. He was 14 under.

Boo Weekley, finally healthy after tearing a labrum in his left shoulder a year ago, was 10 under

Braves send OF Mitch Jones to Pirates CINCINNATI (AP) – The Atlanta Braves have traded minor league outfielder Mitch Jones to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash.

The 32-year-old outfielder is batting .250 for Triple-A Gwinnett with 18 homers and 45 RBIs

in 89 games. He will go to Pittsburgh’s Triple-A team in Indianapolis.

Jones has played eight games in the majors, getting promoted by the Dodgers last June. The Braves signed him to a minor league deal in November.

after a 63. Jimmy Walker (64) and double heart transplant recipient Erik Compton (68) were 9 under.

FISHER LANDS THREE-STROKE LEAD KILLARNEY, Ireland – England’s Ross Fisher shot a 10-under 61 to take a three-stroke lead in the Irish Open.

Fisher had 10 birdies in 12 holes – including six in a row – in his bogey-free round to reach 12-under 130 at the Killarney Golf and Fishing Club. He was in position to become the first player to shoot a 59 on the PGA European Tour after reaching 10 under on the 14th hole, but missed three late birdie putts – one from 5 feet and two from 15.

Italy’s Francesco Molinari (66) was second.

Trees are nearly obscured by fog as a sign points the way to golf course holes during a fog delay of the second round of the U.S. Senior Open on Friday at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Wash. The delay lasted two hours and 12 minutes, meaning some players were unable to complete their second rounds. Friday’s play ended too late for scores to be included in today’s edition of The High Point Enterprise.

land’s game at Toronto in the seventh inning on Friday night, and his trade to the Yankees was confirmed by the executive. The former first-round draft pick is hitting .272 with eight homers and 42 RBIs. Berkman appeared to be the more significant acquisition.

“My ideal situation is to win a title here. If this organization feels those aims are better accomplished by trying to strip down this roster and reload with younger guys, I don’t want to stand in the way of that,” Berkman said.

“If they approached me with something that made sense, I’d sure think about it.”

The 34-year-old Berkman began Friday hitting .245 with 13 homers and 49 RBIs. He has 60 walks and 70 strikeouts in 298 at-bats.

Berkman said Astros general manager Ed Wade discussed the possibility of a trade with him. Berkman would fill the designated hitter slot for the Yanks.

NEW YORK (AP) – The Yankees expect to acquire Lance Berkman from the Houston Astros today and already worked out a deal to obtain outfielder Austin Kearns from the Cleveland Indians.

New York will send a couple of prospects to the Astros, a baseball executive familiar with the discussions said.

The executive spoke on condition of anonymity because talks were ongoing.

“Nothing’s been completed,” Berkman said Friday in Houston, before the Astros played Milwaukee.

A five-time All-Star, Berkman has full notrade rights and his approval was necessary for a trade. He was not in the starting lineup against the Brewers.

“I’m from Texas. Heck, I played at Rice. This city is like the womb.

I feel very comfortable here. To think about the possibility of going anywhere else is kind of scary,” Berkman said.

Moore gets off to fast start with Panthers SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – It’s only three practices into training camp, but Matt Moore appears to be far ahead of the rest of Carolina’s quarterbacks.

Moore has looked accurate and poised for the Panthers after being handed the No. 1 job following Jake Delhomme’s release. Rookie Jimmy Clausen and Hunter Cantwell have been sharing snaps with the second unit.

“I’ve played with him for three years. I think he has more than just an arm and a head,” running back DeAngelo Williams said Friday. “I think he’s going to get us real far this year.”

Moore is 6-2 as a starter, but all those games have come late in seasons when the Panthers had already been realis-

tically eliminated from playoff contention.

“Guys are really happy with Matt and what he’s been doing, his leadership role and really taking control of the offense,” center Ryan Kalil said. “We have a lot of confidence in him.

It’s going to be exciting to see how this offense really takes shape and what kind of character this team has.”

Veterans have lined up behind Moore despite the attention the former Notre Dame star Clausen has received since he was selected in the second round in April.

“That’s the most frequently asked question, ‘How is Jimmy Clausen?’”

Williams said. “Not, ‘How’s the team?’ Not, ‘How’s Matt Moore?’ Not, ‘How’s the defense?’ Not, ‘How you

look without Julius Peppers?’ It’s ‘How’s Jimmy Clausen?’

“Jimmy Clausen is going to be fine. It’s just like college, you’ve just got to speed up the tempo, that’s all. But Jimmy Clausen is a good quarterback.”

ANOTHER MOORE Steve Smith’s flag football injury has given an opportunity for Charlotte native and former Wake Forest receiver Kenny Moore.

The Panthers have used Dwayne Jarrett and Moore as the starting receivers as Smith recovers from a broken left forearm.

“As a player, he’s pretty much my best friend on the team and it’s hard to see him out and see him get hurt,” Moore said of Smith.

Gordon’s crew chief signs extension AP

Carolina Panthers’ Jonathan Stewart (28) talks with teammate DeAngelo Williams during practice at the team’s training camp in Spartanburg, S.C.

Panthers’ running back Stewart in familiar role on sidelines SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – Jonathan Stewart has put together a gaudy resume in his two years in the NFL. He set Carolina’s rookie rushing record, led the Panthers in rushing last season and has played in all 33 regular-season and playoff games.

Yet this may be the most remarkable part of it all: He’s hardly practiced in nearly three years.

“Stew’s got it down to a science,” tight end Jeff King said, smiling. “He’s outsmarting us all.”

The ribbing Stewart gets is expected, yet behind it is respect and amazement by his teammates for how he’s been able to play through a painful Achilles’ tendon and heel injury. After undergoing surgery in January, Stewart still hasn’t been cleared to return, and is watching the start of training camp while on the physically unable to perform list.

“There’s a lot of jokes being made here or there about that whole situation, but me being an athlete and me being a competitor, practice is something that’s very important to excel,” Stewart said Friday. “You’ve got guys that are practicing around you and getting better and you’re not being able to get the opportunity.

“Once I get healthy, it’s going to be one of the best days of my life.”

Stewart indicated the last time he was pain-free was in his final year at Oregon, just before he injured his right big toe against Arizona on Nov. 15, 2007. It required surgery, and Stewart was held out of all offseason practices after going to Carolina with the 13th overall pick.

Overcompensating for his toe by putting more pressure on his left foot is what caused the new injury. About halfway through his rookie season he started being held out of at least one practice a week with what the secretive Panthers called just a “sore left heel.”

Despite the pain, the strong and stocky Stewart rushed for 836 yards and

10 touchdowns, both franchise rookie records. Stewart and DeAngelo Williams combined for the most yards by NFL teammates since 1984.

Stewart then sat out every offseason workout last season, and had participated in eight of 48 practices before playing in Week 1 against Philadelphia.

His Achilles’ tendon and heel throbbing, Stewart wasn’t sure he’d make it through the season.

“At the beginning, no,” Stewart said.

“But I had my teammates around me, the training staff to build up this realm of a way to get through the season, really. It was a good situation.”

Despite practicing once or twice a week at the most, Stewart recovered from a slow start and had big games after Williams went out with an ankle injury. Stewart rushed for a franchise-record 206 yards in a win at the New York Giants, and finished with 1,133 yards despite being in constant pain.

“There was one play I remember, he broke like 40 yards, guys were still trying to tackle him, and he was moaning and yelling at the bottom of the huddle,” center Ryan Kalil said. “And he got back in and we ran another play. That’s a tough guy. I’m glad he’s on my team.”

Shortly after combining with Williams to become the first set of teammates since the 1970 merger to each rush for over 1,100 yards, Stewart had surgery on the area between his Achilles’ tendon and heel. He said some bone spurs were removed and the doctor “cleaned it up, did some stuff, tightening and whatever.”

Stewart missed all offseason workouts – he hasn’t participated in one minicamp practice or organized team activity workout in three years – and is now sitting again.

“I can’t wait until he gets out there it takes reps off of us, and we can get back to midseason form like we were last year,” Williams said.

Newman, Hamlin say they CASH FOR were fined by NASCAR People familiar with the penalties told the AP this week fines were levied because the comments were considered disparaging to the sport.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because NASCAR was not publicly identifying the topflight drivers it fined.

They say one driver was penalized as much as $50,000.

Newman says he was frustrated about the fine “because I didn’t understand what it was or why it was.” Hamlin understood why he was fined.

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) – Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin say they are the drivers fined by NASCAR for making critical comments about the racing series.

Newman refused to disclose on Friday the amount of the fine or what he said. He implied that it was for comments he made after he crashed at Talladega Superspeedway.

Hamlin said he was punished for comments he made on Twitter. He also did not reveal the amount of the fine.

LONG POND, Pa. (AP) – Jeff Gordon has a new spotter this weekend at Pocono Raceway. He won’t have to look for a new crew chief for at least three more years.

Steve Letarte, who has done it all with Gordon except win a championship, signed a three-year extension this week with Hendrick Motorsports and has earned more time to bring home that long-awaited fifth Cup championship.

Letarte, who replaced Robbie Loomis, has been with Gordon since the September 2005 race at New Hampshire. Gordon has 10 wins, 14 poles and leads NASCAR in top-five finishes since then, but is winless since Texas in April 2009, a span of 49 races.

“I don’t think we can do anything different to try to win races, but that is definitely our number one priority,” Letarte said Friday after the deal was announced.

Letarte made another big call this week when he decided the time was right to change Gordon’s spotter. Hendrick Motorsports hired Jeff Dickerson on Wednesday only days after he split with Kyle Busch.

Dickerson, considered one of the top spotters in the sport, replaced Shannon McGlamery. McGlamery will still be a mechanic at Hendrick Motorsports, building the cars for Gordon and teammate Jimmie Johnson.

Dickerson had been with Busch since his early days at HMS.

Analysts: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect big boost in hiring WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The recovery is losing so much momentum that employers are unlikely to step up hiring anytime this year, and unemployment could return to double digits.

That was the bleak conclusion of analysts Friday after the government said economic growth crawled at a 2.4 percent pace in the spring. It was the economyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weakest showing in nearly a year. And many economists think growth is even slower now.

BRIEFS

---

Delta fined $38 million in Northwest settlement Delta Air Lines will pay $38 million to settle criminal accusations that the cargo unit of Northwest Airlines fixed prices.

The Justice Department announced the guilty plea

by Northwest Airlines LLC on Friday. A felony charge filed in federal court in Washington says Northwest met with other airlines from 2004 to 2006 to fix cargo prices between the U.S. and Japan.

Delta Air Lines Inc. bought Northwest in 2008, and the two carriers have been combined.

The stand-alone cargo unit has been shut down.

GM boosts production capacity for Volt DETROIT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; General Motors said Friday that it is boosting production capacity for its new Chevrolet Volt due to strong public interest in the electric car that goes on sale this year.

GM will now have a production capacity of 45,000 vehicles in 2012, up from previous plans for 30,000 vehicles. The Volt, priced at $41,000, can go 340 miles on a single battery charge, according to GM. The vehicle is powered purely by the battery in the first 40 miles, and then uses a small tank of gasoline to create an additional charge for the remaining 300 miles.

Tribal cigarette sellers must follow parts of law BUFFALO, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Seneca Indians in the mail-order cigarette business will have to comply with some, but not all, provisions of a new federal law while they fight to have it struck down.

A federal judge in Buffalo on Friday responded to a request by more than 140 Seneca-owned businesses to be exempt from the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act while they challenge its constitutionality.

ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

exerted a stronger drag on the economy in the Aprilto-June quarter.

The Commerce Department report also showed the recession was deeper than previously estimated, according to revisions of the data. Its depth helps explain why the economy is now struggling so much, with shoppers reluctant to spend and employers slow to hire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re headed into the third quarter with little momentum, and most everything is tracking weaker,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Analytics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of that, I expect un-

employment to rise back to double digits, hitting 10 percent in December and staying there early next year.â&#x20AC;?

Businesses stepped up their spending last quarter, propelled in part by government stimulus. But those gains arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be repeated, economists said.

The one exception is in equipment and software.

Companies invested in those areas last quarter at the fastest pace in 13 years. And they are expected to keep up that spending. But that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough to invigorate the rebound.

Chrysler to add 900 jobs at midsize-car plant DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Chrysler Group LLC said Friday that it will add nearly 900 jobs at a factory in suburban Detroit and spare it from a planned closure. The decision is a show of optimism that consumers will embrace the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refurbished midsize sedans.

The automaker made the announcement at another Detroit-area plant just before President Barack Obama spoke there about the success of the government-funded auto industry bailout.

The jobs will staff a second shift at Chryslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assembly plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., just north of Detroit, which makes the slowselling Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring midsize sedans.

In the fall, the company plans to start selling new versions of the cars that it says will be updated from top to bottom. The second shift will begin in the first quarter of next year, Chrysler said.

Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne told reporters that the Sterling Heights factory will stay open beyond its planned closing date in 2012. In addition to the updated Sebring and Avenger, the plant will get the next-generation Chrysler midsize car that will be on a new undercarriage, Marchionne said.

Companies that make parts for the Sebring and Avenger, and the Sebring convertible, which also is built at the plant, are expected to add 500 jobs.

Merckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2Q income drops on higher costs, charges THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Drugmaker Merck & Co. on Friday reported a 52 percent drop in second-quarter net income, weighed down by big restructuring charges from buying Schering-Plough Corp., generic competition and other factors.

Merck, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-biggest drug company by revenue, beat analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; profit expectations by 3 cents a share, but came up short on revenue and slightly reduced its sales forecast for the year. Given those factors, a 2010 income forecast now below Wall Street expectations and several

pressures that could affect its full-year results, investors drove shares down in morning trading.

The maker of allergy medicines Singulair and Nasonex and cholesterol drugs Vytorin and Zetia said its net income was $752.4 million, or 24 cents per share. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down from $1.56 billion, or 74 cents a share, a year ago.

Excluding one-time items, income would have been $2.71 billion, or 86 cents a share. That beat the forecast of analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters. They expected 83 cents a share, excluding items, on revenue of $11.45 billion.

July ends as best month for stocks NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stocks had a fitting end to a choppy July as prices seesawed their way to a narrowly mixed finish.

The market still had its best month in a year.

Investors had an ambivalent response Friday to the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gross domestic product report, which showed that economic growth slowed in the April-June quarter.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell almost 120 points in early trading, then ratcheted up and down until the close. The Dow ended down just a point, and the other big indexes had similarly small moves.

The day was much like the rest of July, which saw investors alternately buying on strong earnings reports and selling on weak economic numbers. The Dow rose 7.1 percent for the month. The Dow and the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index both had their best months since July 2009 and their first winning months since this past April.

A repeat performance in August seemed unlikely due to the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current pessimism. Many investors, uncertain about the where the market is heading, stayed on the sidelines for much of July or moved money into safer investments.

Even on days when the Dow was up 100 or 300 points, trading volume was unusually low.

Motorists can expect fairly steady gas prices THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Motorists heading out on vacation in the next month should expect gasoline prices to remain fairly constant, give or take a few cents.

Although gasoline demand has been slightly stronger in the past month, ample supplies have kept prices below $3 a gallon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trend that should extend to Labor Day, unless a hurricane shuts down oil production in the Gulf of Mexico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Typically, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much difference between how much we drive in July and how much we drive in August,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without hurricanes, I think gasoline prices are probably going to trend lower.â&#x20AC;?

Kloza expects August pump prices to remain within 5 cents to 10 cents of the current range, with a national average hovering around $2.75 a gallon before falling as demand fades after Labor Day. The national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline fell 0.3 cent to $2.741 Friday, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 1.4 cents less than it was a month ago but still 22.5 cents more than a year ago.

Motorists in the West are paying the highest prices, averaging from $2.862 a gallon to $3.524 a gallon. The lowest prices are in the Midwest, the Gulf coast and Texas.

Disney sells Miramax for $660 million NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Walt Disney Co. is selling Miramax Films to a group of investors for $660 million, marking a new phase for a studio that helped launch the career of Quentin Tarantino and push independent movies into the mainstream.

The deal announced Friday ends speculation that founders Bob and Harvey Weinstein â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who lent the names of their parents, Miriam and Max, to the company â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could regain control of the studio they launched more than three decades ago.

With ownership of the studio passes the rights to a long catalog of Oscar winners, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shakespeare in Loveâ&#x20AC;? (1998), â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chicagoâ&#x20AC;? (2002) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Country for Old Menâ&#x20AC;? (2007).

It also comes with challenges, most notably a decline in DVD sales that has put into question the value of Hollywood movie libraries.

Disney had been looking to sell Miramax since January amid a studio overhaul, deciding that the label no longer resonated with its

Signs of oil spill recovery entering new phase

AP

Firefighters work in the rubble at the scene of an explosion in Norfolk, Mass., Friday. Town Administrator Jack Hathaway said the explosion occurred in one side of a duplex condominium where construction was still going on.

Investigators are not sure what caused the explosion.

Condo explosion injures 8; 1 rescued NORFOLK, Mass. (AP) – A condominium exploded while under construction Friday, injuring eight people, including five construction workers. A resident and two firefighters were also injured.

Three of the injured workers were taken away in MedFlight helicopters after the explosion and fire at The Village at River’s Edge, in Norfolk, about 20 miles southwest

of Boston. Two were taken to hospitals by ambulance from the complex, a new housing development for people over 55.

Norfolk Fire Chief Coleman Bushnell said the two firefighters were treated for minor injuries and released.

Town Administrator Jack Hathaway said the explosion occurred in one side of a duplex condominium where construc-

tion was being finished. A woman who lived on the other side of the duplex – which had already been completed – managed to escape. Bushnell said she was shaken up from the blast and was taken to a hospital.

Hathaway said one construction worker was trapped in the rubble, in the basement of the building, for about an hour before rescue workers were

able to get him out while an active fire was ongoing.

Bushnell said that worker suffered serious injuries, including burns, but did not have details.

No names have been released, Bushnell said.

Hathaway said he felt the blast a half-mile away, while people in the neighboring town of Franklin reported hearing the blast two miles away.

Official: 1 dead in South LA building blast LOS ANGELES (AP) – Fire officials are now saying only one person died and a second is in critical condition after an explosion that destroyed part of an industrial building in South Los Angeles.

A tampered gas line is suspected of causing the blast Friday at a

Grizzly bear euthanized after triple mauling BILLINGS, Mont.

– Wildlife officials say a grizzly bear has been euthanized after tests determined it was responsible for a triple mauling in a Montana campground.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesman Ron Aasheim said Friday DNA tests determined the sow killed a Michigan man and injured two others in unprovoked attacks in a campground overnight Wednesday.

The bear was euthanized after wildlife officials captured the sow and her three cubs at the Soda Butte Campground five miles from Yellowstone National Park.

Aasheim says the cubs will likely be placed in a zoo. Jackie Worstell, executive director of ZooMontana in Billings, says state officials have asked if her zoo could take the cubs.

A final decision is expected to come sometime today.

business that fabricates security fencing.

Authorities initially thought the blast killed two people – one who was hurled across the street and one who was electrocuted by a downed power line.

But Los Angeles County fire

spokesman Erik Scott says the victim who was hurled across the street is hospitalized in grave condition with serious burns. Scott says fire officials at the scene reported the man’s heart had stopped and he had died. Fire personnel later reported he had not died.

BILOXI, Miss. (AP) – BP’s new boss says it’s time for a “scaleback” in cleaning up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Federal officials say there is no way the crude could reach the East Coast. And fishing areas are starting to reopen.

There were several signs Friday that the era of thousands of oilskimming boats and hazmat-suited beach crews is giving way to long-term efforts to clean up, compensate people for their losses and understand the damage wrought. Local fishermen are doubtful, however, and say oil remains a bigger problem

than BP and the federal government are letting on.

Other people contend the impact of the spill has been overblown, given that little oil remains on the Gulf surface, but Bob Dudley, who heads BP’s oil spill recovery and will take over as CEO in October, rejected those claims.

“Anyone who thinks this wasn’t a catastrophe must be far away from it,” he said in Biloxi, where he announced that former Federal Emergency Management Agency chief James Lee Witt will be supporting BP’s Gulf restoration work.

Arizona governor considers changing immigration law PHOENIX (AP) – Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Friday she is asking legislators to consider whether they should change the state’s immigration law in the wake of a judge’s ruling blocking enforcement of key parts of it.

Brewer said she spoke to legislative leaders Thursday about the possibility of calling a special session to “tweak” the law to respond to the parts U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton faulted in her Wednesday order.

“Basically we believe SB1070 is constitutional but she obviously pointed out faults that can possibly be fixed, and that’s what we would do,” Brewer told

The Associated Press.

“It would be very cleancut, simple,” she said.

Brewer said no specific possible changes have been identified and that she’d work with her own legal team and Republican legislative leaders.

A House Democratic leader, Rep. Kyrsten Sinema of Phoenix, called Brewer’s desire to change the immigration law laughable.

“Why would we help her? This bill is so flawed and clearly a federal judge agrees,” Sinema said.

Lawmakers should instead work on bipartisan legislation targeting smuggling cartels and drop houses, she said.

White House urges halt to spilling of war secrets

AP

Defense Secretary Robert Gates (left), accompanied by Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen, holds a press briefing Thursday at the Pentagon.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration on Friday implored the website WikiLeaks to stop posting secret Afghanistan war documents, as the Pentagon pressed its investigation of the massive security breach by bringing a soldier under scrutiny back to the U.S. for trial.

Administration officials said the investigation into the release of the documents – more than 76,900 so far – could extend beyond members of the military.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said WikiLeaks’ online posting of mostly raw military intelligence reports jeopardized national security and put the lives of Afghan

informants and U.S. troops at risk.

Asked what the Obama administration could do to stop WikiLeaks from disclosing thousands of similar documents it claims to have, Gibbs said, “We can do nothing but implore the person that has those classified top-secret documents not to post any more.”

“I think it’s important that no more damage be done to our national security,” Gibbs said Friday.

According to Britain’s Channel 4 News, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a telephone interview that the Afghans named in the leaked documents were under scrutiny.

Democrats say Rangel should resign WASHINGTON (AP) – Calls for Rep. Charlie Rangel’s resignation rained down on Capitol Hill late Friday from House Democrats who said more than a dozen ethics charges against the 20-term lawmaker showed a disregard for the rules and undermined the public’s confidence in Congress.

The calls came as Democrats

headed home for their monthlong recess wrestling with how to handle the tax and disclosure charges against Rangel back in their districts as election season loomed. Republicans, meanwhile, raced ahead with plans to make Rangel the face of corrupt Washington under the rule of Democrats who had vowed to clean up Congress.

For his part, Rangel met with perhaps his staunchest supporters, members of the New York state delegation, in the stately Capitol parlor named for the Ways and Means Committee that he headed until March.

“He indicated there was some sloppiness” in his official papers, Rep. Edolphus Towns, D-N.Y., told reporters, “but, you know,

there’s no criminality here.”

House rules and credibility – not criminality – were the reasons cited by more than a half dozen House Democrats known to have called for Rangel’s resignation by late afternoon Friday.

If Rangel and the ethics committee do not settle the case, it goes to a public trial this fall.

Portland DA: Gore will not be prosecuted

California wildfire approaches homes PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A huge wildfire in the high desert wilderness north of Los Angeles jumped an aqueduct on Friday, rushing toward a subdivision of homes as firefighters also tried to keep flames from damaging power lines that bring electricity to Southern California.

Winds apparently carried embers across the wide concrete channel, with flames rapidly spreading to backyard fences at the edge of Palmdale.

Helicopters dipped buckets into the aqueduct to make rapid water drops. No homes appear to have been damaged. Numerous fire engines were in the area. The fire has burned more than 12 square miles since erupting Thursday afternoon.

Aircraft bombarded flames on ridges above

A tanker drops fire retardant on top of the crest of the Hauser Peak in Palmdale, Calif. the Antelope Valley on the southern edge of the Mojave Desert, while 750 firefighters working in high heat sought to outflank the blaze no matter which way it moved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to pinch it off and call it done,â&#x20AC;? Los Angeles County fire Capt. Andrew Olvera said.

NJ man gets jail for Phillies game vomit-assault PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 21-year-old man who intentionally vomited on a spectator and his 11-yearold daughter at a Philadelphia Phillies game was sentenced Friday to up to three months in jail and community service, which the judge suggested be fulfilled by cleaning ballpark toilets and trash.

Matthew Clemmens, of Cherry Hill, N.J., was

taken into custody immediately after Family Court Judge Kevin Dougherty Clemmens imposed the sentence, and several family members burst into sobs as he was handcuffed.

The spectator Clemmens vomited on and

punched, Michael Vangelo, of Easton, said his daughter Mikayla is still traumatized. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What really bothers me about the incident is that Mikayla refuses to talk about it,â&#x20AC;? he testified.

The family has received offers from the team and complete strangers for tickets to future games, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;she does not want to go,â&#x20AC;? said Vangelo.

FAMOUS, FABULOUS, FRIVOLOUS

The fire was only 5 percent contained a day after it erupted in rural grasslands. The blaze spread rapidly after breaking out at midafternoon Thursday, triggering overnight evacuations of about 2,000 homes in rural areas and down to the western side of Palmdale.

2 killed in plane crash pulled from Lake Michigan LUDINGTON, Mich.

(AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; State police divers on Friday recovered the remains of two of four missing passengers who were on a medical plane that crashed into Lake Michigan last week.

The bodies were taken to the county medical examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office for identification, Mason County Emergency Management Coordinator Liz Reimink

said in the afternoon.

Two people who were on the July 23 flight remain missing. The pilot, 66-year-old Jerry Freed of Alma, was rescued the same day, but rescuers gave up hope of finding any other survivors after combing the area for 27 hours.

Underwater searchers using sonar found the planeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreckage Thursday evening 3 to 4 miles from shore.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fly Girlâ&#x20AC;? Jennifer Lopez is poised to return to televisionâ&#x20AC;&#x161; this time as a judge on â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idol.â&#x20AC;?

The singer-dancer-actor was close to signing a deal to join Fox TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit singing contest, a person familiar with the negotiations said late Thursday.

The person, who was not authorized to comment publicly, spoke on condition of anonymity.

Fox declined comment.

Phone and e-mail messages for Lopezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representatives were not immediately returned.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? opening for Lopez comes with comedian-talk show

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former Vice President Al Gore wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be prosecuted over allegations by a masseuse that he groped and assaulted her in his Portland hotel room in 2006, the county prosecutor said Friday.

District Attorney Michael Schrunk Gore said the case has numerous problems and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appropriate for a criminal prosecution.

Among the difficulties that Schrunk cited: Although the red-haired masseuse said she was terrified of Gore, she also said she called him after their encounter and told him to â&#x20AC;&#x153;dream of redheaded women.â&#x20AC;?

Schrunk also said the woman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Molly Hagerty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; told the hotel she appreciated the business referrals it had given her, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention any problems with Gore just two nights earlier.

Gore denied the charges, including under questioning July 22 by local detectives. His aides welcomed the news.

There were questions about the veracity of the accuserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims from the start.

How to paint in a wet area Q. Help! The paint on the walls and ceiling above my shower is cracking and peeling. The bathroom does have a vent fan. Can you suggest proper ventilation of the wallboard, the type of undercoat, and the type of paint (oil, water, enamel)? – William A. Your problem is not an unfamiliar one. The condition you are experiencing is caused by the steam and moisture generated by hot showers. All that airborne moisture will cause the painted surfaces to deteriorate if they have not been properly prepared or if the paint used is not specifically designed to be used in a “wet” area. A wet area is an area or room in the house that is susceptible to dampness- the laundry, bath or kitchen, for example. Your best bet for a finish coat in areas like these is an alkyd or oil-base enamel.

It will not only hold up to dampness, but the surface will be easy to clean as well. The oil-base enamel is available in semi-gloss (satin) or highgloss (shiny) finishes.

As with any painting project, the real secret to success is polyvinyl acrylic (PVA) sealer or a fresh coat of oil-base enamel over an existing coat of enamel. This will help to ensure a proper and permanent bond of the two products. If the existing surface is badly cracked and peeling, you will want to do extensive repair work by scraping off all loose paint and filling in any cracks or voids with a spackling paste or drywall compound. You may have to repeat this last step several times, sanding after each application to provide for an attractive and uniform surface.

Do it yourself:

AX FACTS

----

Sharp lawn mower blade makes a difference THE CAREY BROTHERS ON THE HOUSE

W

e often comment on the importance of keeping tools sharp. Such tools as chisels saw blades and drill bits work more effectively, and are easier to use, when sharp. Our mantra: “A well sharpened tool is a safer tool.”

One fact we must emphasize is how much better a well-sharpened tool works. Force isn’t needed. A sharp chisel will glide through even the hardest chunk of wood, and a properly sharpened handsaw requires less physical energy to yield a straight, smooth cut. Not only is it easier to use a well-sharpened blade or bit, but what you are crafting will look better too.

Your lawn mower blade can use a good sharpening from time to time, as well. If you have a rotary mower, sharpening your blade is definitely something that you can do yourself.

If your lawn turns white after a mowing, it’s time to sharpen your lawn mower blade. The white cast occurs when the blades of grass are torn rather than cut – the sign of a dull blade.

The torn fibers at the tip of each blade of grass dry out and turn white. Cleanly cut blades of grass aren’t damaged, hold their chlorophyll and remain bright green.

The sharpening process for rotary mowers is simple and shouldn’t take more than about fortyfive minutes. First, you’ll want to remove the blade from the mower. Begin by emptying the fuel tank and disconnecting the spark plug wire.

We don’t want the mower to begin mowing while the blade is being removed. Here’s what to do: • Holding the blade in one hand, use a wrench to loosen the nut that holds the blade in place.

• Turn the nut counterclockwise to loosen it.

• Some mowers have holes that align in the blade-housing and the blade. By inserting a screwdriver shaft into both these holes at the

same time the blade will be held in place freeing both of your hands, and making it easier for you to loosen the blade-retaining nut.

• Note: It’s always toughest the first time. If you have never removed the blade before, loosening the nut may be a bit difficult. A cutting oil lubricant such as WD-40 or Liquid Wrench could be helpful. Use the cutting oil freely at the threaded portion of the shaft that holds the blade in place. You might try using a largerthan-normal wrench. Tapping the end of the wrench handle with a hammer also might help loosen the nut. A light tap directly to the nut itself may also help.

• Once the blade is off, you can use a hand file, a grinding stone attached to an electric drill or a bench grinder to sharpen the blade.

• If you decide to use either of the electric alternatives, be sure not to let the grinding stone cause the blade to heat up. Keep a large bucket of cold water close by. Frequently dip the blade into the water to keep it cool. Overheating the blade will remove its temper, and it won’t hold a sharp edge for as long as it once did.

• Safety Note: Be sure to wear safety glasses or goggles when working with grinding tools.

• Once the blade has been sharpened, test its balance by inserting a screwdriver or a nail in the center of the blade. Grind off one side of the blade or the other to make sure that it is in balance. A blade that is out of balance could do severe damage to the mower motor.

• Before you reverse the removal procedure and reinstall the blade, make sure to wipe it completely dry and rub it down with a coat of machine oil.

This will help to retard rust. The result should be the greenest cut you’ve had in a long while.

In 1892, Lizzie Borden was arrested for giving her parents 40 whacks.

If you plan to use your ax for more conventional purposes – like splitting logs or cutting down trees – you’ll want it well-sharpened. Here’s how it’s properly done.

You can use a carborundum file, but an ax stone works even better – with light oil for lubrication. Combination stones are best. They provide coarse grinding or honing first to shape the blade and remove nicks.

And then they provide fine honing to sharpen the cutting edge. Move the stone in a circular motion or put it in a vise and move the blade over it.

Be careful to keep the slightly rounded blunt taper, called a “cleaver” grind. It helps split the wood. A sharp v-grind gets stuck easily.

That’s the On The House tip for today.

Is now the best time to purchase property?

T

his is the question many potential homebuyers are asking themselves these days. Many are reading the newspapers or watching the nightly news, waiting for someone to tell them if it’s a good time for them to purchase a home.

The danger of this is many of the articles that they may read or stories that they might see on the nightly news are coming from different parts of the country where the real estate markets may be totally different than that in the Triad area.

The evidence of just how different the market can be was made apparent when the real estate sales numbers for last month recently came out. While

many areas of the country face some tough times with market conditions that have corrected from inflated values, in our area, the numbers REAL ESTATE paint a very bright Ken picture of our real Wall estate market.

■■■ When comparing the numbers from June of this year to June of last year, while we saw a 3 percent decrease in closed sales, there was a very strong 11 percent increase in pending sales.

Pending sales are those which are under contract but have not yet closed. These numbers

show an optimistic picture for the rest of the summer. Mortgage rates are at historic lows and the inventory of available homes for sale is excellent and the majority of these homes are aggressively priced. So not only is the availability very high, but homes are very affordable as well.

So if the question you’re asking is: “Is this the time for me to purchase a home?” consider your own present financial condition. Are you earning enough income to afford a home? Is that income likely to continue for the foreseeable future? Would purchasing a home now benefit you and your family? Only you can answer these questions. So why wait

for someone else to make this decision for you?

Finally, if you do decide that the time is right for you to own your own home, seek out one of the many professional Realtors in the greater High Point area to help you find the best home for you and to negotiate the best price.

Ken Wall is president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, one of more than 1,800 local boards and associations nationwide that comprise the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The Association is an advocate for property rights and the “Voice of Real Estate” in the Triad area of North Carolina. HPRAR represents more than 700 members in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industry.

Don’t expect a bounce in home prices WASHINGTON (AP) – Thought the housing crisis was over? Not quite.

Despite four years of falling prices and recent signs that they were finally bottoming out, homes are expected to lose still more value in many metro areas over the next year.

Parts of the country already pummeled by the housing crisis, like Las Vegas, Phoenix and Miami, will be hit hardest.

But even some places that have rebounded or held up relatively well – including New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. – will suffer, too.

That’s the conclusion of economists who have been reducing their estimates for home prices as the

outlook for the economic recovery has darkened.

The number of homes for sale or headed for foreclo-

By this time next year, Moody’s expects prices in 17 of the 20 cities to have fallen. sure is so high that they think prices will be even lower by next July.

Because housing is such an important engine of the economy, lower prices could dim the recovery. When home values fall and people have less

equity, they tend to cut back on spending. And as prices decline, potential homebuyers stay on the sidelines, slowing sales even more.

Earlier this year, analysts said they thought home prices had finally reached their low point and were ready to start rising slowly in most areas of the country. Now, they think the actual bottom could be nearly a year away.

The average home price in the Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller index of 20 big U.S. cities is forecast to drop nearly 2 percent this year from a year earlier, according to the average estimate of more than 100 economists polled this month

by MacroMarkets LLC. That’s more pessimistic than in May, when the consensus was for prices to be nearly flat. Other, more bearish analysts think prices will sink 10 percent or more.

Price drops of more than 10 percent are expected in the Phoenix, Miami and Las Vegas areas over the next year, according to Moody’s Analytics. Those areas have already been scorched by 50 percent declines in home values.

Moody’s predicts that other areas – New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Denver, Detroit, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Tampa, Fla.; and Washington D.C. – will see declines of 2 to 8 percent by next July.

Many analysts expect home prices to rise for a few months because a tax credit offered to homebuyers through April increased demand. But the gains probably won’t last. By this time next year, Moody’s expects prices in 17 of the 20 cities to have fallen.

Why further price drops for already hard-hit areas, as well as in healthier markets like New York and Los Angeles?

There’s already a glut of homes left in each area by the real estate bust, and more foreclosures are expected as Americans fall behind on mortgage payments. Foreclosures add to the supply of homes on the market, bringing down prices.

Low-cost moves could hasten your home sale F

oreclosures are still unusually prevalent in many neighborhoods throughout the country.

And prospective home sellers who live in such communities often fear they’ll face stiff competition from bank-owned properties offered at deep discounts.

But Sid Davis, a veteran real estate broker and author, says that with hard work and small sums of money, many sellers can make their properties outshine those that lenders have repossessed and put back on the market.

“A tremendous number of foreclosed homes were in junk condition when the banks took them back.

Though the banks do hire contractors, most will only pay for basic restoration work, like replacing appliances that were ripped out,” says Davis, author of “Home Makeovers That Sell.”

He says that several properties he’s listed recently received multiple, strong offers and sold quickly, despite their locations in neighborhoods with high foreclosure rates.

These sales were successful, he thinks, because the owners invested their time, money and energy to make their domains more appealing than the foreclosed homes.

Here are several pointers on how to get started: • Start by gaining control of your home environment through planning.

Vicki Norris, a professional organizer and author of “Restoring Order to Your Home,” says many sellers find the home sale preparation process overwhelming because they SMART MOVES fail to plan ahead.

In addition to the Ellen essential “to do list,” Martin which should include ■■■ all the presale tasks itemized by your listing agent, you should also create a realistic timeline for completion of all the steps, Norris says.

To keep yourself from running aground in pursuit of your goal, Norris says it’s also critically important that you schedule periodic work breaks and small rewards to help you maintain your momentum.

• Zero in on your kitchen.

Is your kitchen showing signs of wear and tear? If so, Davis recommends several low-cost ways to improve its appearance without hiring a contractor.

“Most wood cabinets look vastly better after you clean them with Murphy Oil Soap and then rub them down with lemon oil. If they still need help, sand and re-stain them or paint them in high-gloss white paint.

Also, for less than $50 you can improve the looks of your cabinets with new handles and hinges,” he says.

In addition, you can replace a

worn kitchen floor inexpensively by laying new tile, a skill Davis says is easy to acquire through a free or low-cost class offered online or through a home center store.

“Your kitchen is the most important space in your house because that’s where the action is. Sellers who invest modest amounts of money there can usually recoup most, if not all, of their outlays,” he says.

• Count on painting to improve your odds.

One proven strategy for adding appeal to your interior is to paint the walls and trim throughout. For advice on painting technique, consult the websites of major paint companies, or borrow a manual or video on the topic from the library.

“The only major elements to good painting involve solid preparation – mainly sanding and surfacing – and attention to detail,” Davis says.

Doing your own painting is a costeffective way to put your property in peak selling condition for a small amount of cash. But Davis says it’s essential to select your paint carefully, as “the grades vary widely. For best results, avoid picking the cheapest paint available.”

• Build a team to de-clutter.

Most homeowners know it’s critical they clear out superfluous accumulations before putting their home on the market. Even so, only a minority of sellers ever get around to the kind of intensive de-clutter-

ing that would put their property in prime showing condition. Because of the difficulty of mobilizing for this daunting project, Davis urges prospective home sellers to recruit family members to assist.

“I’ve never really had relatives balk at the idea of helping, especially if the sellers are older individuals with physical difficulties,” Davis says.

• Find contractors for the most challenging projects.

Nowadays many home sellers have limited funds to call in contractors for complex or hazardous repairs, such as roofing or electrical work.

But that doesn’t mean they should attempt such projects themselves, Davis says.

“Fall from a tall ladder or fall from your roof and in just an instant, your whole life could be completely transformed,” he says.

To maximize your scarce funds for necessary home improvement work, Davis suggests you seek three to four competitive bids from contractors who come highly recommended, and you could get the work done at “a very fair price.”

“The economy being what it is, good contractors are hurting like everyone else. Some are even agreeing to do jobs at cost, just to keep their crews working,” Davis says.

Refinancings rise as mortgage rates hit 4.56 percent NEW YORK (AP) – The lowest mortgage rates in decades are just too good for some people to pass up.

Brokers are reporting rising interest in home refinancings as rates on a 30-year fixed loans have hit record lows in four of the past five weeks. This week, the average rate fell to 4.56 percent, the lowest since mortgage company Freddie Mac began

tracking rates in 1971.

Weekly applications to refinance home loans have nearly doubled in July from April, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

“If they can get a $100 difference in their monthly payment, they are going for it. I had one guy who was very excited to save $33 a month after refinancing into a 15-year loan,”

said Pava Leyrer, president of Heritage National Mortgage in Michigan.

To be sure, the number of borrowers filling out applications each week is still about 40 percent lower than at the start of 2009. Rates were around 5 percent then.

And ultra-low rates have not convinced many people to buy homes. The National Associa-

tion of Realtors said Thursday that June sales of previously owned homes fell 5.1 percent from the previous month.

Refinancing a home loan often requires the homeowner to pay thousands of dollars in closing costs. Many people either don’t have the money, or they can’t qualify for a loan. And rates have been low for such a long time that many people

may have already refinanced.

It is not in their interest to do so again to save a little bit more on monthly payments.

Brokers are getting more business, but they have to work for it.

“We’re not getting the phone calls. We’re going after them,” said Mike Anderson, government affairs chairman for the National Association of Mortgage Brokers.
