HIGH POINT – About two dozen neighborhoods, churches and other groups in High Point plan to hold gatherings Tuesday for National Night Out. The event was created 26 years ago as a way to raise neighborhood safety awareness and spotlight crime prevention. It’s grown in popularity, with some 36 million people nationwide predicted to take part Tuesday evening. High Point police say the gatherings showcase neighborhoods and police working together and demonstrate to criminals that residents are involved with police to help deter crime. “Crime is down, but there is still crime and always will be,” said Officer Mike Prevost. “Most

HIGH POINT – When rising sixthgrader Jay Kun brought sprigs of rosemary from his school’s garden home to flavor olive oil, his mother, Sheree, became an unabashed fan of Camp Ferndale. The summer enrichment camp at Ferndale Middle School is the only one of its kind in Guilford County Schools, said Frank Beck, International Baccalaureate and Middle Years Program coordinator at the school. In its second year, the half-day camp was held for the past two weeks. It averaged 80 students each week – some attended both weeks – and was led by more than a dozen teachers. It is funded by a grant for IB programs at Ferndale. Camp is free to students, and it includes transportation, a daily snack and lunch. Teachers from Ferndale and other Guilford County schools volunteer their time, often for subjects that differ from those they teach during the regular school year. “I sent out an e-mail, and in one day I had more teachers than I need,” Beck said. “I think what makes the program unique is that it’s based solely on student choice and the commitment of teachers to teach what they really like, which shows a passion that’s probably translated to students, and the students become ex-

Classes include film editing, music recording, Math Alive, peer mediation, IB Learner Profile Through Football, beginning band, photography and cooking. Classes are designed to complement Ferndale’s IB curriculum, which is based on presenting students something they can take from the classroom to their immediate community, then to the broader world. Rising seventh-grader Jose Rivera-Diaz, like Jay Kun, enjoys cooking, prepares food at home and would like to be a chef. “I like to cook any type of food people might like,” Rivera-Diaz said. “They take classes they like, take it home and hopefully take it out into the world,” said Saundra Smith, camp coordinator. “We’re trying to build passions that will last them for life.” Camp Ferndale also is designed to help rising sixth-

City officials reject group’s claims. 2A supports some candidates who are running against Mayor Becky Smothers and incumbent council members.
“Our city desperately needs a change in leadership,” said Sanders Dallas III, who helped organize the group. “Someone needs to be held accountable for High Point’s lagging economic performance, and that accountability starts with our elected officials.” Dallas said he thinks
the one goal members of the group have in common is “to restore High Point to its rightful place of economic prominence in North Carolina.” He said a trip to Greenville, S.C., helped motivate the formation of the group. That city has experienced a major revitalization of its down-

City officials reject group’s claims BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – High Point leaders rejected criticism from Comeback High Point and defended the city’s track record in economic development. “High Point has changed dramatically – a diversified economy that we have worked hard to create and develop and I’m proud of it. I’ll stack my economic development experience with creating jobs up beside any of them,” said Mayor Becky Smothers. “Have they paid attention to where the economy is right now? Do they have any real knowledge of what type of economic development activities the city has seen over past 10 years?” Smothers pointed out that Comeback High Point organizer Sanders Dallas III recently clashed with
the city over a project involving improvements to the Eastchester Drive/Deep River Road intersection where Dallas owns property. Following a dispute, the city took a right of way across from the site by eminent domain. “That probably was the tipping point,” Smothers said. Dallas rejected the suggestion that Comeback High Point stems from the dispute. “I think that any such talk is driven by the City Council’s lack of any meaningful accomplishments or issues to talk about,” he said. Longtime Councilman Chris Whitley also defended the city’s record, saying High Point has outpaced Greensboro in the number of companies that have moved to town versus the number that have left. According to city figures, High Point saw 10 percent job growth
during the past decade compared to low single-digit growth in neighboring cities, and also led the Triad in overall growth. “All I hear about is the group of so-called 40 people, but if you ask around town, you can’t find anybody who’s supposedly part of the group,” Whitley said. “My question is, just how legit are they? Or is this a group of just two or three individuals who are upset?” He argued it’s not fair to focus solely on downtown and surrounding areas as lacking in development, when the city has seen successes in other parts of town, such as the area surrounding the Palladium in north High Point. He said The City Project revitalization effort also is starting to bear fruit with the Uptowne High Point initiative.
New leadership is key FROM PAGE 1
Dallas, whose family owned Dallas Furniture Store for many years, lives in Winston-Salem but works in High Point as vice president of Century Income Inc. He argues that the city’s leadership has acquired an “anti-business” reputation that makes commercial development difficult. “If you talk to econom-
ic development folks outside of High Point, they all scratch their heads and wonder aloud why High Point has fallen so far behind,” Dallas said. “Just drive up and down Green Drive, English (Road) or long stretches of Main Street. You’ll see For Sale or For Lease signs on practically every block. Our indus-
trial building vacancy is 20 percent higher than that of Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Office building vacancies are not a lot better, and showroom, commercial and residential lease rates have dropped dramatically. Those are not signs of an economically healthy community.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531
FAVORED CANDIDATES
–
Comeback High Point organizer Sanders Dallas III said he doesn’t speak for the group as a whole but suspects most of its members support the following City Council candidates: • Jay Wagner, who is running against Mayor Becky Smothers. “Jay’s legal practice has given him significant hands-on experience in corporate and real estate transactions. He has also served very capably as the head of the Planning and Zoning Commission.” • Ward 1: Jeff Golden, who is running against Councilwoman Bernita Sims. “Jeff has been a co-promoter of numerous music festivals and comedy shows that have been held at City Lake and at other city venues. He also has ties to the N.C. High School Amateur track association and is full of unique ideas about how to attract new business to High Point.” • Ward 4: A.B. Henley, who is running for an open council seat. “A.B. has worked in corporate
underwritten and has contacts with affluent businessmen and women outside of High Point that might have an interest in investing in High Point. Britt has run an apparel and textile business, and is now involved in real estate and property management. He has been a leader since his high school days when he was the quarterback at High Point Andrews.” Dallas said the candidates “have vastly more business experience than the current members of the City Council. They know what it takes to attract institutional investment to our beloved city. They don’t have to be ‘coached up’ to understand how businesses operate, or to pick up on the nuances of what might positively or negatively influence a corporate relocation decision. If elected, they will be focused on improving High Point’s business climate first and foremost, not on some photo-op for the next local ribbon-cutting ceremony.”

HIGH POINT – Sounds, sights and smells coming from Ferndale Middle School last week were considerably different from the traditional school year. “Does anybody have a can opener?” someone asked over the PA system. Members of the cheerleading team staged an argument in the peer mediation class taught by two assistant principals with counseling backgrounds. The cheerleaders plan to put skills they learn to use when school starts in the fall. “If we’re cheerleaders, we must be good leaders, and we set examples and listen, so we’re eligible to do this,” said Tapanga Young, a rising eighthgrader. In the music recording class, Ryan Millsaps, who will be in the sixth grade, worked at a computer on a website he created. Ryan collaborated with brothers Peyton and Zach Harvey to write a song. “I knew I was gonna play in band, and we’re gonna play a song, record it and put it on the website,” Ryan said. They planned to record the song with help from Bryson Gray (“B.surius”), son of teacher Gary Gray and a member of the group 336 Boyz. In the Math Alive class, students made solar cookers from cardboard and aluminum foil and prepared to make s’mores with the help of the after-

It’s led by Communities in Schools teacher Lowana Wade, who happens to be a member of the semiprofessional women’s football team the Carolina Phoenix. She teaches the all-male class football techniques, and she also uses football to teach character building and leadership skills. “The kids have a ball,” said Ferndale administrator Frank Beck. “They have loved this camp. It’s amazing, when you let kids pick, they’ll take learning to a different level. In film editing, they’ll learn about it this week, and the teacher will come back and do a film program, and we hope students will take up filmmaking on their own.”

Former deputies plead guilty to skimming money MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
GREENVILLE – The last of five former Carteret County deputies involved in embezzling drug investigation funds has pleaded guilty in federal court, leaving their punishment to be decided in the coming months.
Frank Galizia, 59, of Morehead City, and Boyce Floyd Jr., 48, of Cedar Point, both former deputies with the Carteret County Sheriff’s Office, pleaded guilty Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge David W. Daniel to aiding and abetting the embezzlement and intentional misapplication of
drug funds from Carteret County, according to a Department of Justice news release. The pleas by Galizia and Floyd are the final ones to be made in a case that stems from a nearly fouryear investigation into the misuse and embezzlement of drug funds by former Sheriff Ralph Thomas Jr.

and four deputies who served during his tenure. Galizia, who served 30 years with the sheriff’s office, and Floyd, who served more than 20, worked with Thomas throughout his 20 years as sheriff and the criminal indictment handed down by a grand jury in April outlines skimming of drug funds that they partic-
ipated in and were aware of even before the years covered in the indictment. Carteret County has a fund that is used for drug investigations. A request signed by the detective and the sheriff must be submitted to obtain funds. From 2005 to 2006, Galizia, Floyd and their co-defendants requested funds
totaling $99,925 between 2005 and 2006, all which was approved by Thomas. According to the indictment, only a portion of the money was going to drug investigations and Galizia and Floyd cashed checks and took the cash to Thomas, who would take a cut of as much as 25 to 50 percent of the money.
SC State trustee says board needs to be replaced COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – A longtime trustee at South Carolina’s largest historically black college says the school’s board should be replaced.

and other trustees want to move the university past its leadership problems that began in 2007 when the board refused to renew the contract of then-President Andrew Hugine and had to pay $60,000 to settle a lawsuit. The board voted this June to fire Hugine’s successor, George Cooper, then less than a month later reversed itself when two trustees opposed to Cooper were replaced. Last month, the state’s financial watchdog agency agreed to review spending by the university after school officials could not account for millions of state and federal dollars planned for the James E. Clyburn Transportation Center at S.C. State.

Government can’t have it both ways In responding to Becky Ryan (July 30) for thanking Gov. Bev Perdue for signing legislation banning sweepstakes games, I would agree that the sweepstakes games are bad and I would not go to one. I do think, however, that government has too much of my wellbeing in their hearts. They want to claim those sweepstakes are bad but ask you to come over to their lottery (education lottery) and buy a chance, it’s better for you. There probably are people that will lose their paycheck on gambling and they could have just bought some Fortune 500 stock. My point is the government cannot keep stupid people from making bad decisions.Iif that was true, we would not have the current governor nor the same president. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would have been retired, and we would not be cutting teachers or school programs. RANDY SIMMONS High Point
YOUR VIEW
people making $200,000 a year. Is $200,000 a year middle class? I don’t think so. The average American family income is $46,326 a year. Someone making $200,000 makes more that four times average. That seems rich to me. They are also in the top 3 percent on the income scale. That’s on the rich end. In my view, if you are in the top 15 percent, that would be rich. So $100,000 a year in my opinion is a rich person. I really resent the news media assertion that we should extend the Bush tax cuts because it raises taxes on the middle class. It’s just plain false. The Bush tax cuts were for the rich, and the rest of us are having to pay for it because it was and continues to be paid for with borrowed money. Borrowing money for the rich to be paid for by the poor is just plain wrong. MARC PERKEL Gilroy, Calif.

to immigration laws The federal government, working with the border states, should provide the personnel and resources to secure our borders. Over the years, tens of millions of immigrants from Europe and other continents entered the U.S. legally through Ellis Island and other locations. They learned English, studied U.S. history and took a citizenship examination to qualify to become citizens. Currently, we have approximately 11 million illegal immigrants in this country who do not qualify for citizenship. They committed an illegal act when entering this country. We are a country of laws, and the 11 million illegal immigrants broke our laws, and should be deported over an extended period of time to their native countries. These potential immigrants can then go through the established application process, become proficient in English and obtain knowledge of U.S. history and our government, then qualify for citizenship.

Teacher unions reject attempts at accountability
A
year or two ago, I received this e-mail. The writer was upset with me for arguing that school principals should have the power to fire teachers who do not perform. As numerous educators have told me, union protections being what they are, dumping a teacher – even a bad one – is an almost impossible task. My correspondent, a teacher, took issue with my desire to see that changed, noting that without those protections, she’d be at the mercy of some boss who decided one day to fire her. In other words, she’d be just like the rest of us. The lady’s detachment from the reality most workers live with struck me as a telling clue as to why our education system frequently fails to educate. When you can’t get fired for doing bad work, what’s your impetus for doing good? Many of us seem to be wondering the same thing. Recently, for instance, Washington, D.C., schools chief Michelle Rhee, hired in 2007 to reform the system, fired 241 teachers, most of whom had performed poorly on a teacher evaluation system. And in a speech Thursday before the National Urban League,
President Obama defended his Race to the Top education initiative, saying the goal isn’t simply to fire bad teachers, but to lower class sizes, OPINION reward excellence and demand acLeonard countability. Pitts Earlier this year, ■■■ officials in Rhode Island fired the entire faculty of a poorly performing school Finally, there’s 2002’s No Child Left Behind Act, which, while deeply flawed, at least represented an attempt to bring about critical change. Americans seem to be rallying around a demand for education reform. Apparently, we’ve had enough of students failing schools and schools failing students. We know our kids are capable of better – and that in a competitive, hyper-connected world where China is rising and India aspiring, not delivering better is no longer an option. Unfortunately, whenever anyone seeks to require better, they seem to find themselves at odds
with the last people you’d expect: teachers. Or, more accurately, teachers unions. No, I don’t hate teachers. I’ve been one myself. Moreover, I know that whatever I’ve achieved in life is due in large part to what I learned from Mr. Jacobs, Ms. Sobo, Mrs. Harrison, Sr. Tapanez and many others. No, I don’t hate unions. I support the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively if they choose. And no, I don’t think teachers bear sole responsibility for the failure of our kids to excel. You also have to blame those parents who are uninvolved or who live under the misapprehension that their little darlings can do no wrong, even when said darlings are swinging from the light fixtures in class or running an extortion ring behind the gym. All that said, it is troubling to see teachers unions reflexively reject anything that smacks of accountability. Rhee offered a significant raise and big bonuses for effective teachers in exchange for weakening tenure protections. She had to fight the union. The White House put up $4

billion in grant money to spur innovation in schools. It had to fight the unions. Those Rhode Island officials fired (and later re-hired) faculty at a school where one child in two doesn’t graduate and only 7 percent of 11th graders are proficient in math. It had to fight the unions. Enough. It is time teachers embraced accountability. Time parents, students and government did, too. Because ultimately, what is at stake here is not grades, not jobs and not blame. No, this is an argument about the future _ and whether this country will have one. The fact is, it cannot in a world where information is currency and American kids are broke. People like my correspondent need to understand: There is a groundswell building here. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald, 1 Herald Plaza, Miami, Fla. 33132.

Rescue teams on way to remote impact site of charter used in firefighting VICTORIA, British Columbia (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Search and rescue teams were trying Sunday to reach the site where a Canadian waterbombing plane crashed while fighting a wildfire. The wildfire and steep terrain kept rescue workers from reaching the crash site after the plane went down Saturday night about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northeast of Vancouver. The plane was chartered by the provincial government from Conair in Abbotsford, British Columbia, to battle wildfires about 18 kilometers (11 miles) south of Lytton. Conair had a second plane shadowing

Netherlands quits Afghan mission KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Netherlands became the first NATO country to end its combat mission in Afghanistan, drawing the curtain Sunday on a four-year operation that was deeply unpopular at home and even brought down a Dutch government. The departure of the small force of nearly 1,900 Dutch troops is not expected to affect conditions on the ground. But it is politically significant because it comes at a time of rising casualties and growing doubts about the war in NATO capitals, even as allied troops are beginning what could be the decisive campaign of the war. Canada has announced it will withdraw its 2,700 troops in 2011 and Polish President Bronislaw Ko-

Last Thursday, a helicopter that was battling a blaze near Lillooet, about 210 miles (340 kilometers) northeast of Vancouver, crashed with two people on board.

Israel responded with a series of airstrikes on militant targets in Gaza, including one that killed a senior commander of the Hamas military wing.

Thomasville school officials launch effort to boost parental involvement BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
THOMASVILLE – Thomasville City Schools has set up a task force to find more ways to increase parental involvement. Rick Jones, the system’s career technical education director/dropout prevention coordinator, said the task force was set up following a recent administrative retreat, where he discussed with school officials the issue of parental involvement. “One of the things that I wanted to do at this year’s retreat was to put an emphasis on parental
involvement and community involvement to work with dropout prevention,” Jones said. “It really did take off.” Jones said a “grass-roots” effort has been launched by himself, Judy Younts, director of Communities In Schools of Thomasville, and Resa Raulston, vice chairwoman of the Thomasville Board of Education. The task force is planning on meeting each month throughout the school year to look for ways to improve the system’s dropout rate. “This is not something that we are going to do behind closed doors,” Jones said. “I want to get pa-
rental involvement, and I want to hear what they have to offer in terms of keeping kids in school. We have always had our doors open for parents, and we have always invited parents to be a part of their child’s educational experience. But we haven’t advertised that. “We haven’t done the best job we could do as educators to encourage all parents to be a part of their child’s education. ... We tell the story, but we don’t beat the drum necessarily at the same time. Long and short of it, that’s going to be the whole emphasis on this.”
And to help with the effort, Jones is seeking others to find ways to get more parental involvement. “I’m bringing in a lot of people across the city limits of Thomasville,” he said. “I want to involve the school board. I want to involve City Council members. I want to involve the police chief. We have had some informal dialogue, so we have identified key players. “This is not a quick fix. ... To get true parental involvement and community involvement, it’s going to have to be sustained,” Jones added. “I have had
a hard sell to some folks, but I have got everybody now on board.” One of those on board is Younts, who said parental involvement is a must “everywhere.” Parents have “got to be actively involved,” she said. “They’ve got to do more than feed and clothe them. They’ve got to be there. They’ve got to be involved. They’ve got to encourage them, and they’ve got to be the role model. They’ve got to tell them why being a good citizen and getting an education are very important.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

New principal says transition has been smooth BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
DENTON – Michael Foust says he’s had a smooth transition from assistant principal to principal at Denton Elementary School. The Davidson County Board of Education last month named Foust, the school’s assistant principal for the last two years, the principal of the school. He replaces Marie Casiday, who was the school’s principal for 12 years. Foust, who split time last year between Brier Creek and Denton elementary schools because of budget cuts, said he wanted to be the school’s principal because of the connections he has built in the community. “It just felt like a natural transition when Mrs. Casiday retired,” he said. “It was a great place for me to continue to learn ... I felt like I had a lot of support from the staff and the community. It felt like they had a lot of trust in me to be their leader. “I was very excited that the board also had trust I could make the transition form assistant principal to principal. It’s a huge responsibility.” Foust, a Lexington resident who has been with Davidson County Schools for 12 years, got his start in education as a teacher at South Davie Middle School in 1997. After a brief stint at South Davie Middle School, Foust

Lawson Brown Middle School, then moved to Ledford Middle School as a teacher and then North Davidson Middle School, where he was a lead teacher until 2008. While he has more than 10 years of teaching experience, Foust said his goal has been to be a principal. “I have always thought of myself as first and foremost a learner,” he said. “To be the instructional leader for an entire group of people and help them grow as students is just a
wonderful duty to be able to have.” Under his leadership, Foust said the school will continue to be data driven. He said the school’s relationship with Communities In Schools of Lexington/Davidson County also will continue, as well as the school’s positive behavior management program. “We also are excited to continue partnering with the town of Denton and value their support as well,” he said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Thomasville police host citywide National Night Out BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
THOMASVILLE – Lt. Raymond Widener of the Thomasville Police Department says the annual National Night Out assists his agency in numerous ways. “It lets everybody come out and see what’s available to them as far as services, not only from the city but county as well,” said Widener, the coordinator for Thomasville’s National Night Out. “It
lets us network with other law enforcement agencies and other human interest agencies. It helps us build preventive measures and enforcement measures. It is important to the citizens at large.” Thomasville’s celebration will be held 6-8 p.m. Tuesday at the Thomasville Police Department. As part of the National Night, Thomasville police encourage residents throughout the city and surrounding areas to lock their doors, turn on
outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police. Widener said Thomasville’s first National Night Out was in 1995, when the department started it as part of its community policing strategy. The city’s inaugural celebration has grown from a “pretty good crowd” to about 3,000 people showing up each year for a variety of activities, according to Widener. “We are going to feed probably about 2,000 hot dogs,” he said. “We will

start with that. Hopefully, we won’t run out. I think Domino’s is planning on bringing some pizzas.” Widener said the department will have a “smacka-car” event, where people can take a swing at a car, as well as activities for children. Residents also will have the opportunity to learn about community meetings and groups, and different initiatives put forth by the department, he said. “Folks will get a chance to meet the criminal in-

vestigation folks, the folks that actually work as detectives and forensics people,” Widener said. “And our K-9s, they will get to see a little bit of demonstrations of what dogs can do. There will be some special operational tactical tools on display. There’s going to be a car show out front, a smokehouse that will be set up so folks can see what’s going on with the fire department. It’s going to be a fun evening.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

GASTONIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A South Carolina family looking for their missing teenage son has found his body in the woods in North Carolina after he died in a motorcycle crash. The Gaston Gazette reports that 18-year-old Jacob Lance LaMarr was found Friday by his family who had last seen the young man five days earlier. North Carolina Trooper J.J. Letcavage
said the teen was killed when his motorcycle crashed into the woods in Gaston County. He had been wearing a helmet, but the impact of the crash tore it off. Letcavage thinks the accident happened July 25. LaMarr lived with his family in Clover, S.C., on weekends but worked at a restaurant in Gastonia and stayed with friends in Charlotte while he was working.

Puerto Rican nationalist Lolita Lebron shouts to supporters while being detained for entering restricted U.S. Navy land in Vieques, Puerto Rico, in 2001.
Puerto Rican independence activist dies at 90 SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lolita Lebron, a Puerto Rican independence activist who spent 25 years in prison for participating in a gun attack on the U.S. Congress a halfcentury ago, died Sunday. She was 90. Lebron died at a hospital in San Juan of complications from respiratory disease, said Francisco Torres, president of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico. She had been hospitalized repeatedly in recent months for her ailments. Lebron was a leading figure in the small but passionate nationalist movement in this U.S. territory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lolita was the mother of the independence movement. This is an insurmountable loss,â&#x20AC;? said Maria de Lourdes Santiago, a member of the Caribbean islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senate from the Puerto Rican Independence Party. Lebron was born Nov. 19, 1919, in Lares, in southwestern Puerto Rico, and moved as a young adult to New York, part of a
mass migration from the island to the United States during the 1940s. There she developed her nationalist views and became a follower of movement leader Pedro Albizu Campos. In 1954, she and three other nationalists entered the U.S. Capitol with automatic pistols and opened fire from an upstairs spectatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gallery onto the crowded floor of the House, firing nearly 30 shots. They unfurled a Puerto Rican flag and Lebron shouted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Viva Puerto Rico libre!â&#x20AC;?

ADVICE Dear Abby
any living creature in a car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even with the windows cracked â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is an invitation to a heartwrenching tragedy.
â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;
Dear Abby: I have been married for 15 years. My parents did not attend my wedding because my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job was more important â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so my father never walked me down the aisle. My brother is now being married for the first time. It will be his fianceeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third trip to the altar. Her father died years ago and they have asked my father to walk her down the aisle without even considering how I might feel about it. When I explained to Dad how hurt I feel, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand. But he told me he would not walk her down the aisle if it caused me pain. Now my brother and his fiancee are upset with me. Abby, can a groomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father give away the woman his son is about to marry? Am I being selfish in suggesting she walk down the aisle by herself just as I did? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Resentful in Michigan Dear Resentful: The
answer to both of your questions is yes. Dear Abby: My 8-yearold daughter â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gwenâ&#x20AC;? has friends whose parents allow them to watch movies I prefer my daughter not see â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically, scary movies. The parents of one of the girls have invited Gwen to a sleepover. I have been making excuses because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Gwen having nightmares. Would it be wrong or impolite to tell these parents that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her watching scary movies? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to appear to be dictating what they can or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow their children to see in their own home. How should this be handled? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Protective Mom, Mustang, Okla. Dear Protective Mom: Be upfront with the mother who will be hosting the sleepover. Tell her that you know Gwen would love to participate, but that you prefer that she not see scary films. If the mother can guarantee that none will be viewed that night, give your permission. Making your preference known is neither rude nor overbearing, so speak up. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ear Abby: Summer is the season for celebration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beach trips, picnics in the park and barbecues. But it can be a dangerous time for dogs. Every year, thousands of dogs die after being left in overheated parked cars. Heatstroke can come on quickly and result in brain damage or death. Dogs are prone to heatstroke because they can cool themselves only by panting and sweating through their paw pads. If you see a dog left in a car on a warm day, take down the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s color, model, make and license plate number. Have the owner paged inside nearby stores and call local humane authorities or the police. If you see a dog exhibit any of the following symptoms: restlessness, excessive thirst, a rapid pulse, heavy panting, lethargy, lack of appetite, dark tongue, rapid heartbeat, fever, vomiting or lack of coordination â&#x20AC;&#x201C; get the animal into the shade immediately and call the veterinarian. YOU can save a dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Laurie in Milwaukee

e have not talked about home escape plans recently so I thought a reminder would be good. Most house fires start between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m., with most fire deaths occurring between midnight and 4 a.m. Remember, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to become confused and lost in a house fire. Waking from a deep sleep FIREHOUSE with the CHAT house burning Lee or filled Knight with â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; smoke is a bad time to devise a home escape plan. I can promise that panic and confusion will be the likely outcome without an escape plan that has been practiced regularly. It has been shown that people with an escape plan have a better chance of surviving a house fire. Think about that, parents. Your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chance of surviving a house fire is greatly increased if you develop an escape plan. Make sure smoke detectors are in working order. When operating properly, they alert you to the presence of fire and smoke before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late. While sleeping, close all bedroom doors, which creates a barrier to fire, giving valuable minutes to escape. Stuffing blankets or towels into cracks around doors will slow the entry of smoke. Plan two escape routes from every bedroom. One would be the normal exit from the house while the other might be a window or back door. Make sure everyone in the home knows how to open the windows. Purchase a fire escape ladder and learn how to use it for escape routes through upper level windows. Check doors with the back of your hand to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not hot. If doors are hot use an alternate escape route. When leaving the house, crawl low under the smoke and heat. Plan a safe place for everyone to meet after they escape. This could be a tree in the yard or a car in the driveway. This helps account for everyone and hopefully will keep a family member from trying to re-enter the house. Take a few hours and make your family safer. I would much rather find the whole family gathered around the meeting place than have to search for them in a fire, where survival is unlikely. 24/7/365: You call, we respond.

One kind of back pain targets young men
D
ear Dr. Donohue: I am trying to find out something about ankylosing spondylitis. I never heard of it until two years ago, when my grandson was told he had it. There’s no history on either side of his family. In less than a year he has lost 100 pounds. He is unable to work and has no money coming in. He has been on Enbrel and Remicade. Neither has helped. He takes morphine for pain, but it only knocks the edge off. – J.B.
BLONDIE
B.C.
As a rule, ankylosing (ANK-uh-LOW-sing – welded together) spondylitis (SPAWNduh-LIE-tiss – backbone inflammation) is a problem that begins early in life, between the ages of 20 and 30, and mostly is a problem of men. Genes are involved, but the illness might not be found in other family members. One gene that has been identified is the HLAB27. Finding that gene with a blood test aids in making the diagnosis. The backbone inflammation starts in the lowermost part of the spine, and ascends to and often includes the neck. Not every patient has such an extensive involvement, but some do. Affected people walk stiffly, bent slightly forward at the waist. Frequently, they cannot take a deep breath because the chest portion of the spine is so restricted in its movement. When the neck is

involved, it, too, is bent forward in a fixed position. The pain and HEALTH stiffness worsen Dr. Paul with Donohue inactivity ■■■ and loosen somewhat with motion. The knees, hips and shoulders also might be involved with this arthritis. Organs other than the joints can suffer. The eyes, for example, might become inflamed. Your grandson has had the latest treatments for this arthritis – Remicade and Enbrel. Another newer drug is Humira. Most often, patients start with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Indocin. Physical therapy is essential for keeping the spine limber. Does your grandson know about the Spondylitis Association of America? It can help him in a number of ways. Not only does it keep members abreast of new developments, it might be able to assist your grandson in applying for disability benefits. The website is www.spondylitis.org, and the toll-free number is 800-777-8189. Dear Dr. Donohue: It’s that time of year again – the no-see-um season. I can feel a sharp sting when bitten. It goes
away and then returns as a large swelling with incessant itching. What can I do to prevent this reaction? Others don’t react this bad. I also use DEET to deter these diabolical pests. Should I wash it off as soon as I get indoors? – C.R. No-see-ums got that name because they’re barely visible, only 1⁄16 of an inch. Dawn and dusk are their busiest hours. Avoidance is the best protection. The red welt you describe arises about 12 or more hours after the bite and can be as large as an inch in diameter. It does itch. DEET is the best repellent, but it’s not a 100 percent barrier for all users. Have you tried a higher concentration? Are you following label directions regarding when to reapply it? When you get back home, wash treated skin with soap and water. Also, you can spray your clothes with permethrin. It will give you additional protection. Wear long slacks tucked into your socks and long-sleeved tops. As for the itch, antihistamines are suggested. I admit they don’t work for everyone. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

A class decision High Point High grads establish scholarship fund BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
H
IGH POINT – Graduates traditionally leave plaques, benches or covered walkways to commemorate time they spent at a school. Members of High Point High School’s Class of 1960, however, want to leave the gift of further education to qualified graduates of what now is High Point Central High School. When the Class of 1960 – once approximately 350 strong – gathers for its 50th anniversary reunion Aug. 13 and 14 at High Point Country Club at Emerywood, class president Richard Carmichael will tell his former classmates about the recently established scholarship fund. Carmichael put considCarmichael erable thought and research into establishing The Class of 1960 Scholarship Fund. “We would love for this to be not just a gesture, for it to be a meaningful source of help for High Point Central High School students,” Carmichael said. The scholarship fund, already at $12,000, is channeled through the High Point Community Foundation. Anyone, not just Class of 1960 members, may contribute, and Carmichael hopes to raise $75,000, which would serve as an endowment. At the end of each school year, dividends and earnings from the endowed amount will be given to a qualifying student – or students – to begin study at a college, whether a four-year or community college. “ It is our hope that other High Point Central classes will see this fund as a vehicle through which they can give back to a great institution that played such an important role in their lives,”
SCHOLARSHIP
----
Criteria: Student must be a graduating High Point Central senior, of good character, with a 3.0 or higher grade-point average at graduation, applying to an accredited academic school. Scholarship is need-based and is a one-time award, nonrenewable. Candidates will be identified by Central’s guidance office. To contribute: Visit the website www. hpcommunityfoundation.org (click “Donate Now” and choose “Class of 1960 Scholarship Fund” under “Program Designation” heading) or send check made to Class of 1960 Fund to HPCF, P.O. 5166, High Point, NC 27262.
said Paul Lessard, Community Foundation president. “It is great to see our community stepping up and taking ownership of our schools, as they are indeed one of High Point’s important resources.” The first scholarship will be awarded in the spring of 2011. If, for some reason, Central should not exist, scholarships would go to another high school within the High Point city limits. “Our philosophy is, we’re going to help these students get there this first year, then it’s going to be up to them to pursue their education the rest of the way,” Carmichael said. By establishing an endowed scholarship, Carmichael and his classmates hope to leave a legacy. “We’re starting out from the point of view that we want to honor the high school; the teachers we had; the prin-
cipal, who was D.P. Whitley; and our classmates and the concept of honoring the school because it has meant a lot to all of us,” he said. Carmichael has been well-served by the education he received at Oak View School and High Point High School. He went on to earn a bachelor of science degree from Wake Forest University and master’s and doctoral degrees in mathematics from Duke University. He has taught math at Wake Forest for 39 years. He played basketball for two leg-

The Greensboro Historical Museum last week unveiled a state-of-the-art, 8,000-squarefoot exhibit titled “Voices of a City: Greensboro, North Carolina.” The exhibitions created for “Voices” consist of a tapestry of first-person observations and remembrances that tell the story of Greensboro’s history dating back to the early 1700s. The galleries that make up the exhibit present Greensboro’s history in eight thematic sections: •An orientation gallery. •“Bewitching Country” (before 1808). •“Early Greensborough” (18081890). •“Debating Liberty” (18001890). •“Denim Capital” (1891-1945). •“Service and Sacrifice (Greensboro’s involvement in America’s Wars).” •“Changing Times” (19461979). •“Today’s Gate City” (1980-present). Each gallery blends historical artifacts, photos, portraits, letters and other documents with the latest technology to enhance each museum visitor’s experience. The Greensboro Historical Museum is located at 130 Summit Ave. in downtown Greensboro’s cultural district. The museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from 2 to 5 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.greens borohistory.org.

Carmichael also intends for scholarships to honor the current High Point Central, which serves a large population of ethnically diverse students, many low-income, and has programs such as International Baccalaureate and English As a Second Language that prepare students to function in the community. vknopfler@hpe.com / 888-3601

to Cy’s K-Q-10. Making four!
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 2 H 10 8 7 D A J 10 3 2 C A K 3 2. You open one diamond, and your partner bids one heart. What do you say?
GOOD DIAMOND By that time, West had six trumps left, and Cy had the K-Q-10-8 of trumps, a club and a heart. Cy led a good diamond from dummy and pitched the club, and West had to ruff and lead a trump. Cy won with the eight and led his heart, and West – wearing a dazed expression – had to ruff East’s winner and lead a trump from his J-9-7
ANSWER: Expert opinion would be divided. A bid of two clubs looks easy and obvious, but if your partner next bid 2NT, two diamonds or three clubs, the hand would be too weak for a third bid, and a heart fit might be lost. Moreover, the opponents may be about to bid spades. Though I’d prefer better support, I’d raise to two hearts. North dealer N-S vulnerable
‘Inception’ outclasses ‘Schmucks’ at box office LOS ANGELES (AP) – “Inception” is still kicking at the box office.

CROSSWORD
Monday, August 2, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Hallie Eisenberg, 18; Edward Furlong, 33; Mary-Louise Parker, 46; Peter O’Toole, 78 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Sitting back, waiting for things to happen, should not be your approach. This is a year to advance but it will only happen if you are enthusiastic about what needs to be done to get to where you want to be. Discipline, hard work and a definite plan will all play a major role in you success. Your numbers are 1, 6, 14, 25, 27, 34, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on how you can be more effective at work. It’s what you can produce that will grab attention and help you advance. Don’t let the uncertainty going on around you deter your own progress or cause you to feel discouraged. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your confidence may cause you to miss something going on that can hurt your position or your reputation. Talks will allow you to get a better perspective on what you are facing. Protect your interests and your assets. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let anyone discourage you from doing what you feel is right and best for everyone involved. A love problem may end up being costly if you don’t address whatever issues are bothering you openly before matters escalate. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep on top of what everyone else does and says and you will avoid difficult to handle surprises. Being practical, patient and efficient will keep you out of the clutches of someone trying to take over or challenge your position. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Focus on what you can do, not what you can’t. Not everyone will be on your side or looking out for your best interests, especially when it comes to work and money matters. Be smart about a change of position. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Start something new or pick up a skill that will enhance what you have to offer. Uncertainty regarding a contract, financial deal or settlement must not cause insecurity. It’s being able to adapt that will prove you are a worthy candidate for advancement. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put your efforts into home improvements and helping others. Watch your cash transactions carefully. Don’t let someone else’s problems turn into your responsibility. Be honest about your thoughts and intentions. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A partnership can help you finish a project you have not been able to finish on your own. Asking for favors isn’t your usual way of going about getting what you want, but this time it will be necessary. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Work from home if possible. The problems that stem from being in a group will cause you to accomplish little. A connection you make through networking, travel or an old friend will help you realize what you can accomplish and how. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t feel pressured to move too fast, especially if it has to do with money. Changes at home look appealing and property purchases or investing will turn out favorably. Don’t rely on what anyone else does or says. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t be fooled by what someone tells you. People from your past will try to make you change your ways. Don’t pay for other people’s mistakes or fall into old traps because of an emotional attachment. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Focus on relationships both old and new. There will be a chance to revitalize something you left undone. Getting to know someone all over again will allow you both to see how much you’ve grown. ★★★★

BRIDGE
Cy the Cynic says it’s an ill wind that blows no minds. I suspect that what today’s West experienced could safely be called mind-blowing. Cy, South, did what most players would have done over East’s fourheart preempt: He risked four spades. West, looking at seven – count ’em, seven – trumps plus an ace roared out a penalty double and led the ace of hearts. West shifted to the queen of clubs, and Cy took the ace and led a trump to his ace, getting the expected news. The Cynic next let the nine of diamonds ride and continued with the queen. He led a third diamond to the ace and cashed the king of clubs.
HOROSCOPE
mates Sunday. “Inception” edged out the weekend’s new releases: “Dinner for Schmucks,” “Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore” and “Charlie St. Cloud.” “Schmucks,” the Paramount comedy starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, followed closely behind “Inception” with $23.3 million.
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.

Appleby matches magic score WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Stuart Appleby hit golf’s magic number Sunday, shooting a 59 to win the Greenbrier Classic. Appleby’s 11-under round put him at 22 under, giving him a onestroke victory to end a four-year winless drought. Third-round leader Jeff Overton (67) narrowly missed a long birdie try on the par-3 18th that would have forced a playoff. Appleby is the fifth PGA Tour player to reach the milestone. The Australian’s round came less than a month after Paul Goydos had a 59 at John Deere Classic. The others to shoot 59 were Al Geiberger at the 1977 Memphis Classic, Chip Beck at the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational and David Du-
val at the 1999 Bob Hope Classic. Appleby had nine birdies and an eagle in his round on the Old White course. Appleby birdied Appleby the final three holes with putts of under 15 feet to earn the $1.08 million winner’s check. “You don’t shoot a low number ... feeling a huge amount of indecision,” Appleby said. “I was just comfortable.” Appleby saw playing partner D.A. Points flirt with a 59 on Saturday before settling for a 61. On Sunday, it was Appleby’s turn. “It was nice to be on the receiving end,” Appleby said.
Appleby won for the first time since the 2006 Houston Open. His previous career low was 62 in the 2003 Las Vegas Invitational. Appleby’s achievement was the first 59 on a par-70 course. Goydos’ came on a par 71 and the others on par 72s. The 39-year-old Appleby didn’t have the advantage of lift, clean and place that Goydos and Geiberger enjoyed, even though overnight rains left mud on some balls. Appleby trailed Overton by seven strokes to start his round and was playing three groups ahead. Appleby shot 6-under 28 on the front nine and eagled the par-5 12th before settling for three straight pars. He got his momentum going again just in time with birdies of
15, 10 and 11 feet on the final three holes. Appleby’s feat toppled the course record of 60 set by Sam Snead in 1950 and matched Saturday by J.B. Holmes. Overton had 34 putts in the final round, three-putting three times. “I got beat by a 59,” said Overton, who had his third runner-up finish of the year and remains winless in five years on the Tour. “What can you say? I played great, hit a lot of great shots. You can’t win golf tournaments when you putt it that bad.” Brendon de Jonge (65) finished third at 17 under. Tied at 15 under were Points (70), Woody Austin (63), Paul Stankowski (64), Roger Tambellini (65) and Jimmy Walker (67).

Biffle ends drought LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — As he closed in on the finish line, Greg Biffle knew the only person worthy of dedicating this victory to at Pocono Raceway. “This one’s for Jack!” he said over the radio. Was it ever. With Jack Roush recovering in the Mayo Clinic, Biffle raced to victory in an often-delayed Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway on Sunday to snap a 64-race winless streak and take the checkered flag for his injured team owner. “I have to tell you, when it got to be five to go, I started thinking about,” Biffle said. “I started thinking, this race is meant to be.” Biffle never doubted he would win a Cup race again even as his oh-fer reached nearly two years. He hadn’t won since the first two races in the 2008 Chase for the Cup championship. But with Roush in the Mayo Clinic for injuries sustained in a plane

Greg Biffle celebrates in victory lane after winning the Pennsylvania 500 on Sunday. crash in Wisconsin, Biffle found Victory Lane. “We know he’s watching,” Biffle said. “It’s been really tough. We worked so hard.” It was also the first win of the season for both a Ford and Roush Fenway Racing. Tony Stewart was second and Roush driver Carl Edwards was third. Kevin Harvick and Den-
ny Hamlin, who won the last two Pocono races, rounded out the top five. Edwards spoke with Roush on Sunday morning and said his boss sounded in good spirits. “He was Jack,” Edwards said. “Don’t mess anything up. Don’t wreck. He’s been through a lot this last week. He really needed that victory. That’s pretty cool. I’m
sure he’s really hard to handle for all those nurses in the hospital.” Roush released a statement calling it a “proud day” for the entire organization. “They’ve done a wonderful job and this is just the beginning of the rewards that have resulted from all of their hard work,” he said. Biffle said Roush called him in Victory Lane and the owner said, “he never met somebody that had the will to win like I do.” “I’m glad he thinks of me like that,” Biffle said. “No matter how grim the outcome can be, I’ll still be digging.” Biffle’s crew kept the same car after driving the No. 16 Ford to a seasonhigh third-place finish last week at Indianapolis. That finish put Biffle in 11th place in the points standings and now he’s strongly positioned himself with five races for a spot in the 12-driver field for the championship chase.
THOMASVILLE – The HiToms continued their last season winning streak in dramatic style Sunday. Two nights after coming from behind to edge Columbia, Thomasville downed Petersburg 109 in 10 innings. The Tommies trailed early before a home run by Kevin Sanders helped key a five-run third inning that knotted the score 6-6. Sanders also hit an RBI single that put Thomasville up 8-7 going into the ninth. The HiToms close out the season by hosting Gastonia today at 7 p.m.
Revis stays away from
Jets camp THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The New York Jets opened training camp without cornerback Darelle Revis, Albert Haynesworth missed another practice with the Washington Redskins after failing to take a conditioning test, and the San Diego Chargers finally signed rookie running back Ryan Mathews. Revis is holding out while locked in a contract dispute with the Jets, and there’s no telling how long the All-Pro might stay away. “Darrelle and his family were extremely deliberate with the decisionmaking process,” agent Neil Schwartz told the Associated Press. “Obviously his actions speak far louder than words.” Revis didn’t show for the team’s conditioning test Sunday morning at the Jets’ training facility in Florham Park, N.J.

t’s been a long, not-so-hot summer for the Thomasville HiToms of the Coastal Plain League. Wins have been few and far between this season, but not even the Harlem Globetrotters can win them all. Besides, the HiToms boast an impressive resume in the CPL. Since joining the league in 1999, Thomasville has lots to brag about. The HiToms are the only franchise to

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman walked away unhurt after riding in an SUV that flipped over on an interstate in South Florida. Sgt. Mark Wysocky of the Florida Highway Patrol said Rodman and another passenger weren’t injured in the single-vehicle crash on Saturday on Interstate 95 near Fort Lauderdale. The driver was taken to a hospital. Wysocky said the Land Rover flipped over after having a tire problem. No charges are expected. Rodman’s agent, Darren Prince, said he spoke with his client on Sunday, and he confirmed that he was unhurt. Rodman had just returned to the U.S. from the Caribbean island of St. Tropez, where he had a disc-jockey gig. “Thank God he’s OK,” Prince said. “He walked out with a little scratch on his finger.” Prince said that Rodman told him, “’I’m still living brother. They can’t get rid of me.”’ Rodman told his agent that the driver had a gash in his head and was in stable condition. Known for his flamboyance, Rodman won three NBA championships, one with Chicago and two with Detroit.

capture three straight Petitt Cup championships, taking league honors in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Those teams posted stellar records of 37-23, 43-17 and 41-20 in those years. Thomasville took West Division crowns in 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2008, made seven straight playoff appearances from 2003-09 and notched six consecutive winning seasons from 2003-08.
Plus, Finch Field remains one of the best places to watch a game this side of Camden Yards. So as a disappointing campaign nears an end, HiToms fans take heart and reflect on a storied history of CPL success. To borrow a familiar baseball phrase – Wait ‘til next year!

Langer cruises in U.S. Senior Open THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAMMAMISH, Wash. — Bernhard Langer shot a final round 3-under 67 and took advantage of Fred Couples’ critical mistake to complete a daunting trans-Atlantic double and win the U.S. Senior Open championship Sunday. Coming off a victory at the Senior British Open last week at Carnoustie, Langer finished at 8 under for the tour-
nament, fighting off jet lag and a partisan hometown crowd hoping Couples could pull out victory just 20 miles east of where he grew up. Just like a dozen years ago when the PGA Championship was played at Sahalee Country Club, it wasn’t to be for Couples. Tied with Langer starting the day, Couples birdied the opening hole before he made triple bogey on the par-5 sec-
ond, the easiest hole on the course.
WOMEN’S BRITISH OPEN SOUTHPORT, England — Yani Tseng of Taiwan made a 6-foot putt on the 18th hole to win the Women’s British Open by one stroke over Katherine Hull of Australia. It was the 21-year-old Tseng’s third major title and second of the year to go along with the Kraft Nabisco. She has
four LPGA victories overall, having won 2008 LPGA Championship and 2009 Corning Classic. Hull came into the round trailing by four strokes but trailed by just one heading into the 18th. But she missed a 20-foot birdie attempt and had to settle for a 70, and Tseng made her par putt to shoot 73 and total 11-under 277 at Royal Birkdale. Tseng earned $408,000.
Report: Kentucky will get Cup race LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Speedway will get a NASCAR Sprint Cup race in 2011, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The 1.5-mile tri-oval halfway between Louisville and Cincinnati will host NASCAR’s top series in early July. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision had not been announced. A news conference is scheduled at the track Aug. 10. Speedway Motorsports Inc. purchased the speedway from the original ownership group in 2008. SMI owner Bruton Smith said his main goal was to bring the track a long-coveted Cup date. The original owners filed an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and International Speedway Corp. in 2005, contending they tried to exclude the track from the Cup Series. Smith called the court case a major stumbling

Braves stumble against Reds THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI — Brandon Phillips hit a tying triple with two out in the fifth inning and scored the tiebreaking run on shortstop Alex Gonzalez’s error, helping the Cincinnati Reds beat the Atlanta Braves 2-1 on Sunday in the rubber game of the weekend series. Ramon Hernandez was on first when Phillips lifted a fly ball down the right-field line that eluded a diving Jason Heyward and bounced into the corner. Orlando Cabrera followed with a routine grounder to Gonzalez, but the former Reds infielder dropped the ball, and Phillips scored while Cabrera easily beat the throw to first.
PHILLIES 6, NATS 4 (11) WASHINGTON — Placido Polanco and Jayson Werth each drove in a run in the 11th inning, helping Philadelphia avoid the sweep. Wilson Valdez led off the 11th with a bunt single against Collin Balester (0-1) and was sacrificed to second by pinch-hitter Roy Oswalt, the ace pitcher acquired Thursday in a trade with Houston.

Shields, Rays blank Yankees THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — James Shields worked into the eighth inning to outpitch CC Sabathia, prolong Alex Rodriguez’s quest for his 600th homer and help Tampa Bay beat the New York Yankees 30 on Sunday. Carl Crawford and Kelly Shoppach drove in runs for the Rays, who took two of three games during a matchup between the teams with the top two records in baseball. The Yankees intended for Rodriguez to take a day off. But with Shields (10-9) sailing along with a three-run lead in the sev-
enth, manager Joe Girardi inserted the slugger as a pinch-hitter with a runner on and two outs.

block and was relieved when it eventually ended this year. Smith had no immediate comment, but said before last week’s race at Indianapolis that he’d like to have a Cup race at “all” of SMI’s NASCAR sanctioned tracks. The company also owns New Hampshire Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway and Infineon Raceway. The only one that lacks a Cup date right now is Kentucky, though Smith said he’s optimistic there would be plenty of time to get the facility ready for a Cup race. Kentucky already hosts NASCAR Nationwide and Truck Series events, as well as an IndyCar race. Plans are already in place to expand seating from 65,000 to around 100,000. NASCAR officials had no immediate comment,
Webber benefits from teammate’s penalty BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Mark Webber took advantage of a penalty against Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel to win the Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday at the Hungaroring track. Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso was second, followed by Vettel and the other Ferrari driver, Felipe Massa. Webber’s fourth win of the season gave him the lead in the drivers’ championship with 161 points, four points better than Lewis Hamilton of McLaren, who dropped out on lap 24 with technical trouble. Hamilton is now second, followed by Vettel with 151 points, defending world champion Jenson Button with 147 points and Alonso with 141 points.
“It was a bit of a gift today for me but I haven’t had many of them,” said Webber, who competed in his 150th race on the Formula One circuit. Michael Schumacher was judged in a stewards’ inquiry to have illegitimately impeded Williams driver Rubens Barrichello during an overtaking maneuver on the 66th lap and has been penalized 10 positions at the next race, the Belgian GP on Aug. 29. The seven-time world champion appeared to try to force Barrichello into the concrete pit wall as the two fought for 10th place. Barrichello called the incident “horrible” over the team radio and said Schumacher should have been black-flagged, where a driver is ordered to the pits.
Busch nears record NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Kyle Busch is now a better bet than the Nationwide Series field. Busch raced to his sixth victory in his last seven Nationwide starts and ninth in 17 events this season Saturday night, leading 209 of 250

Panthers seek new defensive spice SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — When the remaining individual game tickets for the Carolina Panthers went on sale Saturday, the return of Julius Peppers with the Chicago Bears was the only one to immediately sell out. Finding a replacement for Peppers and retooling the defensive line are going to take much longer. Not only did the five-time Pro Bowl pick and franchise sacks leader walk away in free agency in the offseason, the Panthers released three defensive tackles who have started over the past two seasons. Tyler Brayton is the only starter back, and at age 30, he’s the oldest defensive lineman on the roster by four years. “It’s like been overnight. I’ve gone from being normal-aged to now I’m the old vet,” Brayton said Sunday. “Coaches are looking to me for a little more leadership out there, being the oldest guy. I’m looking to embrace that role. I haven’t figured out quite how I’m going to do it yet.” Defensive line coach Brian Baker is experimenting with numerous combinations without the freakishly athletic Peppers to demand double teams and line up in different spots on the line. The messy way Peppers left town after being forced to stick around in 2009 because of the franchise tag remains a touchy subject. “I’m going to cut your question off. No reaction,” Baker said when asked how players have responded to being without Peppers. “The guys that knew Pep, including me, miss him as a man
because he was kind of, believe it or not, fun to be around and you enjoyed his presence.” Despite dogged criticism that he took plays off, Peppers had 101⁄2 sacks last season and 81 in his eight years in Carolina. “It’s just going to mean each one of the four of us is going to have to step it up a little bit more,” Brayton said. “When you don’t have that one so-called superstar out there, it just takes more of a group effort. I loved playing with Pep. He was a hardworking, down-to-earth guy and he just loved to get after it, so he’s going to be missed. But at the same time we’ve got to move on.” While Brayton appears secure at left defensive end, Charles Johnson and Everette Brown are competing for Peppers’ old spot along with surprising rookie Greg Hardy and Hilee Taylor. After Damione Lewis and Maake Kemoeatu were released and Hollis Thomas wasn’t re-signed, there’s a logjam of defensive tackles jockeying for jobs led by Tank Tyler, Ed Johnson, Louis Leonard, Nick Hayden and Corvey Irvin. “If you wanted to make me name who the starting tackles are going to be, I truly couldn’t do it right now,” Baker said. “I don’t know who’s going to be on the 53 (regular-season roster) at this point. “That’s good and bad. You like to know how your guys are going to be, but the good thing is there are a lot of guys who are good enough to start.”

Delhomme gets footing as Browns’ starter BEREA, Ohio (AP) — For a refreshing change, there is no controversy over who will start at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a stadium full of questions about the guy — Jake Delhomme — set to take the first snap at Tampa Bay on Sept. 12. Coming off a miserable season in Carolina where he encountered what one publication delicately called “a 13-month turnover problem,” the former Pro Bowler knows that at the age of 35 he has to prove all over again that he can lead an NFL offense. “The older you get — and this is the approach that I take — is that this is my last year,” he said. “Next year I’m going to say the same thing. You just don’t know in this league. I think you start to appreciate it more and
start to enjoy it because this is a privilege.” Delhomme struggled with turnovers a year ago. He threw 18 interceptions and only eight touchdown passes. He looked old, he looked confused and he looked as if he was done. After seven strong years with the Panthers and a 58-40 record as a starter, his one poor season resulted in the Panthers releasing him in early March. Hiding his tears behind sunglasses, Delhomme, a horse owner, vowed that he wasn’t “ready to go home and play with the horses just yet.” His time had clearly run out in Carolina, where fans were relentless in mocking him for his mistakes. At the same time, the Browns were starting over at the position, releasing Derek Anderson and trading Brady Quinn

They had jostled for the starting job in an ongoing drama that seemed disruptive and distractive. About a week after his release, Delhomme signed a two-year deal with the Browns that will pay him a guaranteed $7 million the first season. The Browns also acquired Seneca Wallace from Seattle and drafted former
Texas star Colt McCoy in the third round, providing an entirely new cast under center. Despite his errant throws last season, and despite his age, Delhomme became the starter almost by default. New Browns president Mike Holmgren said he was a marked improvement. “The quarterback situation is much more solid
Tebow helps draw big crowd to Broncos camp ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — No insubordination. No contract consternation. No split locker room. No more bad karma — just a bit of bad luck. The Denver Broncos kicked off training camp without the negativity that enveloped them a year ago, when their two
first-round draft picks were holdouts and the man wearing No. 15 was recalcitrant receiver Brandon Marshall. With Marshall in Miami, rookie quarterback Tim Tebow is donning that number now, and his presence was a big reason the Broncos drew 3,103 fans to the start of
training camp, a record for the first day at Dove Valley. The only damper? Running backs Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter got hurt. That might have been the only two times many in the crowd took their eyes off Tebow, the two-time national champion from
Florida and 2007 Heisman Trophy winner. “Guy was a great player in college,” Champ Bailey said. “He’s going to do some great things for us.” Fans serenaded Tebow with cheers when he walked onto the field and when he stretched, then chanted his name.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers are running out of backs. Mike Goodson became the latest casualty when he limped off the field groaning in pain with a left ankle injury following a carry during a drill in Sunday’s lone practice at training camp. Goodson was carted inside and coach John Fox said X-rays showed no fracture. “There still evaluating it, but it’s not broken,” Fox said. With Jonathan Stewart still not cleared to practice following offseason heel surgery and Tyrell Sutton out since Friday with a calf injury, there’s little depth behind DeAngelo Williams. “We’re getting a little thin there,” Fox said. “We’ll see where we are and act accordingly.” The Panthers could be forced to make a roster move if Goodson is out for an extended period. The second-year back from Texas A&M had been having an impressive camp. “I thought he had a good camp a year ago, but I think he’s a year better now,” Fox said. “I think he’s way more assignment-sound. He’s a year better. He’s got confidence in what he’s doing and he’s playing that much faster because of it.” Defensive tackle Nick Hayden also went down
in practice. Fox said Hayden “pulled something” in his left side, but it wasn’t a rib injury. He watched the remainder of practice and had an ice pack strapped to his side. Receiver Brandon LaFell (bruised leg) and defensive end Eric Moore (hamstring) joined the growing injury list and missed Sunday’s workout.
JOHNSON BACK Charles Johnson returned to practice Sunday and moved right back into the starting lineup at defensive end. Johnson, pegged to replace Julius Peppers, strained his hamstring in the first practice of camp Thursday and had missed four consecutive practices. Everette Brown had been working with the first team in his absence. The Panthers could rotate Brown in on passing downs if Johnson keeps his hold on the starting job. Johnson had 28 tackles and four sacks in 13 games last season.
EXTRA POINTS Rookie WR Armanti Edwards made a diving catch over the middle, but also muffed a kickoff return as he adjusts from college quarterback to NFL receiver and return man. ... QB Matt Moore and Williams had a rare fumbled handoff early in the workout.
Tangled relationship at center of Pitino case LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The tangled relationship among Rick Pitino, his personal assistant and the assistant’s wife was thrown back into public view during the woman’s extortion trial this week. Testimony from the Louisville coach and the assistant, Tim Sypher, marked the first time either had spoken at length about the tryst that tar-
nished Pitino’s reputation. Their testimony revealed the sordid details of the bizarre relationship and what happened between the one-night stand in a restaurant booth in 2003 and last year. That’s when Karen Cunagin Sypher was accused of demanding cash, cars and housing from Pitino in exchange for keeping quiet about the encounter.
Although Pitino is finished testifying, the trial continues Monday. Karen Sypher has pleaded not guilty. Jurors were told that Pitino, a married father of five, and Karen Sypher had sex on July 31, 2003, after all other patrons and even the owner had left Porcini, one of the coach’s favorite places to eat. The two had met only a few hours earlier.
Pitino said the encounter was consensual and lasted about “15 seconds.” Karen Sypher would claim she was raped — but not until years after that night. Police said the claims were meritless. Pitino has denied the rape allegations and said they made him “sick to my stomach.” He testified that the whole ordeal left him physically and mentally worn out, unable to
sleep as his team made what would be a successful push for the Big East conference championship. The coach feared his wife and children would find out and waited two months to tell the police about the threatening phone calls and letters he received to try and “contain” the information. Ultimately, he would tell his family about the affair — which he
said was the most painful thing of all. He knew what a media storm it would cause and ultimately advised his son, Richard Pitino, who had been working for him, to take a job elsewhere. Pitino had known Tim Sypher since his days coaching the NBA’s Boston Celtics, and Sypher followed Pitino when he signed on with the Cardinals in 2001.

Farming industry gets fresh crop of growers MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
In shallow trays of organic soil at her greenhouse in Harrisburg, onetime real estate agent Kate Brun is cultivating a business: growing and selling microgreens, tiny herbs and vegetables harvested when their first leaves appear. Not even a year old, her company is already taking root â&#x20AC;&#x201C; part of a wave of the homemade and home-grown springing up in Charlotte and across the country. Two factors have combined to propel the trend, experts say: the increasingly popular local-food movement, and a recession thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prompted people to consider different ways to earn a living. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;We really are going to need more producers who are willing to grow for this kind of market,â&#x20AC;? says Nancy Creamer, director of the Center for Environmental Farming Systems at N.C. State University. The overall number of farms in North Carolina declined 2 percent in the most recent U.S. Census of Agriculture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to 52,913 in 2007 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; compared with the previous count in 2002. But the number of small producers, on plots up to 9 acres, jumped 25 percent, to about 5,000. Area farmers markets and agricultural extension offices report a boom in inquiries about growing and selling local produce. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 78-person waiting list for spots at the certified organic incubator farm in Cabarrus County, which began in 2008, county extension director Debbie Bost says.

Employees work on the production line at the Foxconn complex in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen. According to July data, manufacturing in China has slowed its expansion for the third month.
Chinese manufacturing continues to slow BEIJING (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Expansion of Chinese manufacturing activity slowed for the third month in July, as production, new orders and purchasing prices all declined, a survey showed Sunday. The state-affiliated China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said its purchasing managers index, or PMI, fell to 51.2 in July from 52.1 in June. Numbers above 50 show manufacturing activity expanding.
The index, an indicator of future manufacturing trends, has remained above 50 for 17 straight months after slowing in late 2008 and early 2009. It was 53.9 in May and 55.7 in April. Areas such as production, new orders and purchasing prices all declined, according to a summary of the survey posted on the federationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Meanwhile, the employment index was up.
The slowdown was expected given efforts to cool property prices by tightening credit, as well as a tapering off of government-backed stimulus spending on construction and other projects. Economic growth slowed to 10.3 percent over a year earlier in the second quarter, down from its blistering 11.9 percent first quarter pace. The slowdown might weaken
the global recovery if it cuts Chinese demand for imported iron ore, industrial machinery and other foreign goods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The foundation for investment and export growth is not steady enough. There is a possibility that the speed of growth in those areas could decline by a large margin,â&#x20AC;? the summary quoted government analyst Zhang Liqun as saying.
UAE, Saudi Arabia to block BlackBerry service DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The UAE said Sunday it will block key features on BlackBerry smart phones, citing national security concerns because the devices operate beyond the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to monitor their use. Officials in neighboring Saudi Arabia indicated it planned to follow suit. The decision could prevent hundreds of thousands of users in the Mideast country from
accessing e-mail and the Web on the handsets starting in October, putting the federationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation as a businessfriendly commercial and tourism hub at risk. BlackBerry data is encrypted and routed overseas, and the measure could be motivated in part by government fears that the messaging system might be exploited by terrorists or other criminals who cannot be monitored by the local authorities.
However, analysts and activists also see it as an attempt to more tightly control the flow of information in the conservative country, a U.S. ally that is home to the Gulf business capital Dubai and the oil-rich emirate of Abu Dhabi. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time BlackBerry and Emirati officials have had run-ins over security and the popular handsets, a fixture in professionalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pockets and purses the world over.
Just over a year ago, BlackBerry maker Research in Motion criticized a directive by UAE stateowned mobile operator Etisalat telling the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than 145,000 BlackBerry users to install software described as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;upgrade ... required for service enhancements.â&#x20AC;? RIM said tests showed the update was in fact spy software that could allow outsiders to access private information stored on the phones.
Within hours of the Emirati decision to block BlackBerry services, a telecommunications official in neighboring Saudi Arabia said the desert kingdom would begin blocking the BlackBerry messaging service starting later this month. The Saudi official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telecommunications regulator would issue a statement on the move soon.
Junk bonds start looking attractive to some investors CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A sideways stock market has investors searching for other places to make a decent return on their money, and junk bonds, for better or worse, are starting to look like gems to many. The appeal is easy to understand. Junk bonds, known more politely as highyield bonds, are bonds with very low credit ratings that corporations pay more interest on so they can attract investors. As of last week, they were yielding 8.34 percent, down from 9 percent earlier in July.
That number is mighty enticing at a time when the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index is up just 1 percent for 2010 and down 22 percent from a decade ago. And a murky economic outlook hampers prospects of a strong rebound any time soon. Virtually nowhere else can you get 8 percent back on your money these days. The going rate for a 10-year U.S. Treasury note last week was 3.05 percent, low by historical standards. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much better for investmentgrade, or more highly rated, corporate bonds: 3.8 percent, as measured
by the Barclayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Capital U.S. Credit Bond Index. Return-starved investors have noticed. Highyield mutual funds have seen nearly $3 billion in inflows over the past three weeks, according to Lipper FMI, a unit of Thomson Reuters. But investor beware: Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re called junk for a reason. Bonds below investment grade, or those with S&P ratings below BBB and Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ratings below Baa, are much likelier to default. Not only that, junk bonds act more like stocks than other bonds do. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because their prices are closely tied to
the corporations that issue them and their ability to service debts. So if you are considering adding them to your portfolio to diversify it, think again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect a junk bond to hold its value if equities are doing poorly,â&#x20AC;? says John Donaldson, director of fixed income at Haverford Trust Co. in Radnor, Pa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will have good years when equities have good years and bad years when equities have bad years.â&#x20AC;? High-yield bonds as a group lost about 35 percent in price in 2008 during the credit crisis, when stocks also tanked.
