HIGH POINT – The owners of Oak Hollow Mall remain tight-lipped about details regarding the sale of the mall, but managers at its anchor stores say they’re employing some grassroots efforts to keep the mall relevant in High Point. Sears store manager John Capes said that he and managers of Belk, Dillard’s, JC Penney and the Sears call center meet regularly and view changes at the mall as a “positive opportunity.” “We’ve met on our own time and talked about what’s possible and what could happen here,” Capes said. “This is still a great property, and there’s a lot of good coming. We need to support that.” When it comes to Capes’ efforts, he recently approached several fast-food chains about building a restaurant on part of the Sears parking lot to bring additional revenue and traffic. Unlike the rest of the mall, the Sears and Dillard’s stores are not owned by

John Capes, general manager at Sears at Oak Hollow Mall, proposes selling a portion of the store’s parking lot for another tenant along with other measures to boost traffic at the mall. Chattanooga-based CBL & Associates Properties Inc. He hasn’t been successful in recruiting a restaurant to build on the property yet, but he says he’s in conversation with real estate experts about types of businesses that could thrive on the property. “I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t want this mall to be a success,” he said. “It’s just about getting everyone on the

same page of music. We’re getting to the point where we can start asking ourselves, ‘What can we do now?’ ” Jason Scott, store manager at Belk, said he holds special events at the store to drive traffic and stays active in the community. “We’re happy here,” Scott said. “Two cosmetic brands have held events in our store when they normally wouldn’t come to a city

our size. We’re doing some partnering to bring events that cities like High Point wouldn’t usually get.” Scott said Belk is also involved in fundraising efforts with the United Way of Greater High Point and Big Brother Big Sister because “we believe in giving back.” Giving back to the city in terms of tax dollars also is an important part of the mall, Capes said. “We want to keep High

Point dollars in High Point,” he said. “If you’re a big enough store like us, you have a responsibility to keep things running as best you can. It drives me nuts when people can’t see the potential we have here.” According to the High Point Economic Development Corp.’s 2009 annual report, the mall was the city’s sixth largest taxpayer last year.

Clara Cox project clears funding hurdle BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – After years of disappointment, a major proposed affordable housing project in southeast High Point is a step closer to getting off the ground. The High Point Housing Au-

thority and Crosland LLC, a Charlotte company serving as the developer for the redevelopment of the Clara Cox Homes apartment site, announced Tuesday that a funding mechanism for the project has been lined up. Financing for the $20.5 million project closed on July 30 follow-

ing confirmation of Red Stone Equity Partners LLC as the primary tax credit investor. Other funding sources include the authority, which is serving as a lender for the project, the N.C. Housing Finance Agency, which has put up state tax credit loans, and construction lender

Churchill Mortgage Investment LLC. “We are excited about this property getting off the ground, as we’ve been through a lot of ups and downs,” said Bob Davis, chairman of the authority’s

Drought-proofing the Triad. 1B BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDLEMAN – Sometime this month, a spurt of water should make history as it emerges into a glass from a tap in the Triad. The water would be the first to quench the thirst of a customer through the Randleman Regional Reservoir, a lake and water source more than 70 years in the making. The Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority should be able to start pumping water from the lake by the end of this month, depending on state regulatory approval. Members of the authority board of directors received an update on the last segments of work taking place on the treatment plant and pumping stations during their meeting Tuesday at the facility near Randleman. Contractors and staff for the authority are testing 3 million gallons of water daily, said authority Ex-

This is the main building of the treatment facility that will contain the filtration rooms, chemical storage and other facilities to purify the water. Offices will also be located here. ecutive Director John Kime. The water has been pumped through 48-inch lines and into a pair of 3million-gallon holding wells. Kime said Tuesday the authority doesn’t have a firm date for starting the flow of water to customers in Randolph County and five municipalities in Randolph and Guilford counties. But if state regulators sign off, the taps could turn on for customers by the end of August.

“There are so many moving parts in this,” Kime said as members of the authority toured a lower level of the treatment plant, a building complex visible to motorists traveling along U.S. 220 near the Level Cross exit in Randolph County. State regulators won’t sign off until everything in the facility is completed, tested and working properly and intricate water tests show that the water meets drinking quality standards.

Randleman Lake has been decades in the making to become a drinking source for five cities and Randolph County. The construction of the dam and filling of the lake are complete. The Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority is finishing a $60 million to $70 million water treatment and pumping plant to provide water to the county and High Point, Greensboro, Jamestown, Archdale and Randleman. When at full capacity, the plant could provide 12 million gallons of drinking water daily. The first drinking water could begin flowing from the plant this month. The lake opened to fishing and recreation March 1. When at full capacity, the Randleman Regional Reservoir facility could provide up to 12 million gallons of drinking water daily.

Davidson board OKs incentives to entice new company BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday night gave the OK on an economic incentives package in hopes of enticing a new company to start up in Davidson County. Commissioners voted unanimously to award incentives to Project M. The company plans to invest $2 million in plant, machinery and equipment and provide more than 15 jobs over the term of the contract, said Steve Googe, executive director of the Davidson County Economic Development Commission. “I submit to you that the project would stimulate the economy, increase the county tax base by more than $2 million in plant machinery and equipment and create more than 15 jobs under the term of the contract,” he told commis-

sioners. Googe said the company is a component parts supplier to the construction industry. He would not release the name of the company. Googe expects an announcement to be made on the company in the next 60 days. “They manufacture construction materials,” Googe said. “… It’s always good to have the construction components here rather than have to go outside the county to bring them in if you are building.” If Project M accepts the incentives, it would be entitled to a grant each year for five years to be paid by Davidson County, provided the company meets the requirements of the contract as to investment, jobs and wages. The grant would begin the January of the first full year after the first full year of operation following the investment. The calculation for payment of the grant would be .0027 times the investment in real

property each year for five years and .0054 times the investment in machinery and equipment for one year. The total grant would not exceed $6,000 per year for the term of the contract. The wages would be above the county average wage of $14.37 an hour, Googe said. Sam Watford, the board’s vice chairman, made the motion, seconded by Commissioner Fred McClure, to approve the incentives. Googe said offering the incentives is being made possible to the company because commissioners changed their guidelines last year for incentives for new businesses. Before the new guidelines were approved, the EDC would only deal with existing companies. Companies had to furnish tax returns and financial information for three years.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Final performance reports show that Guilford County ranked second or third among large counties achieving ABC goals and below the state score average. Although 2010 school district test scores topped the performance of the state’s other five large districts, the final calculations moved Guilford down the list. Overall, 91.4 percent of district schools made expected or high growth in student academic achievement during the 2009-10 school year, up from 75.4 percent in 2008-09. Within the district, about 57 percent of schools made high growth, including former ten low-performing schools. With an average of 70.1 percent, Guilford was below the state average ABC score of 73.8 percent. “This shows we have a lot of work still to do,”

FINAL REPORT

----

Distinction: Based on the ABCs report, GCS had an increase in the number of Schools of Distinction from 17 last year to 22, including Southwest Elementary, the Middle College at Guilford Technical Community College, Jamestown, and Southwest Middle School. These schools had 80-89 percent of students score at or above grade level on EOGs and EOCs. Statewide 37 percent of schools qualified. In addition, Southern Elementary, Shadybrook Elementary and Florence Elementary also qualified. Gongshu Zhang, district chief research and accountability officer, told the Board of Education on Tuesday. The average ABCs performance composite for GCS compared to 60 percent in 2008 and 66.5 percent in 2009. Guilford’s average was below Wake at 77 percent and Mecklenburg at 74 percent. Guilford ranked above the state average of 88 percent of schools making expected growth, but

RALEIGH (AP) – With last week’s California court decision galvanizing both sides, gay marriage supporters and opponents held competing rallies Tuesday in the capital of the only Southeastern state that hasn’t approved a constitutional amendment limiting marriage to a man and a woman. Supporters of gay marriage outnumbered opponents at the noontime rallies. About 70 people gathered on the grounds of the old Capitol building for the event sponsored by the National Organization for Marriage, which is wrapping up a

behind Wake County and Charlotte-Meclenburg Schools in the percentage of schools that made expected growth. Wake scored 92.4 percent and CMS at 94 percent. At 56.9 percent Guilford was second among the three large districts in achieving high growth. Wake County was 54.4 percent and CMS was 63.9 percent. “This shows that Mecklenburg and Wake did the best job,” Zhang said. The state uses end-of-

23-city summer bus tour this weekend. Across the street, in front of the state Supreme Court, another 200 people in support of gay rights held a counter-protest, chanting and holding placards critical of the anti-gay marrriage stand. “We want to make sure that these folks coming in from out of town know that this is a community that does support queer rights,” said Carissa Samara, 37, of Raleigh, who attended the protest with her partner, Denise Hark, and Samara’s 14-year-old daughter, Sierra. “We have strong activism and support from the community not to pass this kind of hateful legislation.”

grade and end-of-course exam results and the federal Adequate Yearly Progress scores which measures academic achievement of student demographic groups to form the ABCs scores. 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. The district 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 Cumbeland County.

Board of Commissioners. “It’s going to be a great thing for the city of High Point.” Officials said they hope to break ground soon and expect the first two phases, composed of 172 apartments, to be complete some time in 2011, with the first buildings available for occupancy next spring. Plans eventually call for 220 multifamily units and 15 single-family homes on the 20-acre site at E. Russell Avenue and Park Street. Some of the units are slated to be subsidized public housing and others will be for sale or rent to residents who earn less than the median family income for the area. “We believe that this development will provide much needed affordable housing to the residents of High Point as well as serve as a major catalyst to development in the downtown area,” said Von Gore, the authority’s

vice president of HOPE VI. The authority has been seeking a funding source for the project since at least 2005, when the former Clara Cox Homes public housing community was demolished. Its applications for a federal HOPE VI grant were rejected three times before officials decided to pursue tax credit funding. The first potential investor backed out of a deal, which delayed plans to start construction last summer. Officials said Red Stone Equity Partners has bought more than $2.2 million in federal tax credits, which provided $15.5 million in tax credit equity for the project. In addition, the project received nearly $8.5 million in federal Tax Credit Assistance Program funds for the second phase of the development. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Farmer unknowingly tends 300 pot plants JEROME, Idaho (AP) – Authorities say a southern Idaho farmer unknowingly watered and fertilized more than 300 marijuana plants while tending to his corn fields. The Jerome County sheriff’s office says the farmer found the plot of pot growing between

his tall, green stalks of unripened corn early Monday and called authorities. The sheriff’s office says the 314 low-grade marijuana plants are valued at $628,000 and would have been ready for plucking in the next month or so — just before the corn harvest.

MID-DAY Pick 3:7-2-1

A detective says the pot was started from seed and relocated to the field, a common way marijuana growers hide their plants. Authorities have ruled out the farmer as a suspect, saying there have been at least two other similar reports in the past year.

DAVIDSON COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two volunteer firefighters with the Pilot Fire Department have been charged with setting a fire at a building on Lower Lake Road in Thomasville early Monday morning. At 2:41 a.m., firefighters with the Pilot Fire Department were dispatched to a structure fire at 4386 Lower Lake Road in Thomasville, according to the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. The Davidson County Fire Marshalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office contacted the Davidson County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office and the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation due to the suspicious nature of the fire. Benjamin Dean Wagner, 19, of 213 Park Ave., Thomasville, and Christopher Lee Burnett, 19, of 480 Saddle Tree Road, Thomasville, have been charged with burning certain buildings, a felony charge. Both were placed in the Davidson County Jail under a $3,000 secured bond, with a court date of Sept. 15.

119 NC death row inmates allege racial bias RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dozens of inmates around North Carolina â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both black and white â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have challenged their death sentences under a new law that allows them to argue racial bias. The office of North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said some 119 inmates have filed a claim under the Racial Justice Act ahead of Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadline. A spokeswoman for Cooper said there were more filings expected as inmates seek to have their death sentences con-

verted to terms of life in prison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are undoubtedly other cases that have been filed where our office has not received a copy yet,â&#x20AC;? said spokeswoman Noelle Talley. Of 159 convicts on death row in North Carolina, 99 are nonwhite. The 87 black inmates make up more than half the death row population, while U.S. Census estimates put the black share of the statewide population at roughly 22

percent. Under the terms of the Racial Justice Act in 2009, convicts can use statistical evidence to argue bias in their sentencing. The law allows judges to consider evidence that one racial group is being punished more harshly than members of other racial groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ending up saying is that the jury is racist in its decision,â&#x20AC;? said Peg Dorer, director of the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys.

Death toll in China landslide rises to 700 ZHOUQU, China â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The death toll from landslides in northwestern China more than doubled to 702 Tuesday, as rescue crews in three Asian countries struggled to reach survivors from flooding that has imperiled millions. Rescuers digging by hand through mud found a 52year-old man, Liu Ma Shindan, who had been trapped for more than 50 hours inside a leveled apartment building in the remote town of Zhouqu, where more than 1,000 other people were still listed as missing.

BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Explosions and gunmen in Iraq killed six people Tuesday, including two members of an anti-alQaida group and two policemen, officials said. The attacks, which also injured 15 people, reflect the persistent violence directed at people responsible for protecting Iraq as American forces leave. Violence

WHO declares swine flu pandemic finally over GENEVA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The World Health Organization acknowledged Tuesday the swine flu pandemic is finally over, long after many national authorities started canceling vaccine orders and shutting down telephone hot lines as the disease ebbed from the headlines. The official death toll â&#x20AC;&#x201C; once predicted to be in the millions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reached 18,449 last week and WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said she agreed with experts that swine flu has â&#x20AC;&#x153;largely run its course.â&#x20AC;?

Rights groups ask WikiLeaks to censor files LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Human rights groups said Tuesday theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked WikiLeaks to censor secret files on the Afghan war to protect civilians whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked alongside the U.S. and other foreign forces from reprisals. The Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, Amnesty International and three other groups have sent a series of e-mails to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange calling for the names of Afghan civilians to be removed from the 77,000 classified military documents published by the online whistle-blower last month.

Taliban blamed for sharp rise in Afghan deaths KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The number of Afghan civilians killed or injured in the war soared 31 percent in the first six months of the year, with Taliban bombings and assassinations largely responsible for the sharp rise, the United Nations reported Tuesday. Hidden bombs and suicide attacks are killing and maiming so many Afghans that Amnesty International urged the Afghan government to seek prosecution of Taliban leaders for war crimes. Women and chil-

dren are increasingly bearing the brunt of the conflict â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even as NATO restrains the use of force on the battlefield. The U.N. report found the number of deaths and injuries caused by NATO and Afghan government forces dropped by 30 percent compared with the first six months of last year, largely a result of curbs on the use of air power and heavy weapons. But the overall sharp rise in deaths and injuries indicate the war is growing ever more violent.

Feds: Storms delay drilling for well plug NEW ORLEANS – Approaching storms forced crews to suspend drilling the final stretch of a relief well aimed at shooting a permanent underground plug into BP’s busted oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, the government’s point man for the disaster said Tuesday. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said the suspension could mean a delay of two or three days in completing the relief well.

Fantasia hospitalized after overdose NEW YORK – Fantasia is in stable condition at a North Carolina hospital after taking an overdose of “aspirin and a sleep aid,” according to the manager for the former “American Idol” champ. The overdose came Fantasia days after the singer was named in court documents by Paula Cook, who accused Fantasia of having an affair with her husband. A statement Tuesday said Fantasia was “overwhelmed by the lawsuit and the media attention.” It acknowledged she had a relationship with Antwaun Cook for 11 months, but said she believed Cook when he said “he was not happy in his marriage and his heart was not in it. She believed him when he told her he and Mrs. Cook were separated in 2009.” ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Obama signs jobs bill to halt teacher layoffs WASHINGTON (AP) – Summoned back from summer break, the House on Tuesday pushed through an emergency $26 billion jobs bill that Democrats said would save 300,000 teachers, police and others from election-year layoffs. President Barack Obama immediately signed it into law. Lawmakers streamed back to

Washington for a one-day session as Democrats declared a need to act before children return to classrooms minus teachers laid off because of budgetary crises in states that have been hard-hit by the recession. Republicans saw it differently, calling the bill a giveaway to teachers’ unions and an example of wasteful Washington

spending that voters will punish the Democrats for in this fall’s elections. The legislation was approved mainly along party lines by a vote of 247-161. The aid for the states is to be paid for mostly by closing a tax loophole used by multinational corporations and by reducing food stamp benefits for the poor. Obama, joined by teachers at

a Rose Garden ceremony earlier in the day, said, “We can’t stand by and do nothing while pink slips are given to the men and women who educate our children or keep our communities safe.” The Senate narrowly passed the measure last Thursday, after the House had begun its August break.

Alaska mourns former Sen. Stevens DILLINGHAM, Alaska (AP) – A float plane carrying former Sen. Ted Stevens crashed into a remote mountain in Alaska, killing the revered former senator and four others and stranding survivors on a rainy, brush-covered hillside for more than 12 hours, authorities said Tuesday. Former NASA chief Sean O’Keefe and his teenage son survived the Monday crash with broken bones and other injuries, said former NASA spokesman Glenn Mahone. The O’Keefes spent the night on the mountain with volunteers who discovered the wreckage and tended to the injured

planning a trip near where the amphibious plane crashed. The crash was a stunning event in a state

where Stevens became the most beloved political figure in Alaska history during his 40 years in the Senate.

McMahon takes GOP Senate primary in Connecticut WASHINGTON (AP) – Linda McMahon of Connecticut, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, easily won the Republican Senate nomination Tuesday night, joining the nationwide roster of political outsiders who will carry the GOP banner into the fall campaign. In Colorado, appointed Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet has fended off a primary challenge from a rival who waged a relent-

less anti-establishment campaign. On a four-state primary night, former Rep. Nathan Deal led ex-Georgia Secretary of McMahon State Karen Handel narrowly in late returns in a Republican gubernatorial runoff. The two vied for the right to take on former

Democratic Gov. Roy Barnes in November. And in Minnesota, conservative State Rep. Tom Emmer easily won the Republican nomination for governor. Four Democrats sought the opposing spot on the ballot. McMahon will be the underdog in the fall in a race with Democratic Attorney General Blumenthal to replace retiring Sen. Chris Dodd, also a Democrat.

Grand exit may land flight attendant in prison NEW YORK (AP) – No fed-up worker has ever said “I’ve had it” quite like Steven Slater. Prosecutors say the JetBlue flight attendant flipped out over a fight with an agitated traveler Monday, cursing at the passengers before grabbing some beer from the plane’s galley and making a grand exit down the emergency slide at Kennedy Airport. He has been charged with felonies and elevated to folk-hero status by thousands who shrugged off allegations that Slater endangered others and praised him for his take-this-job-and-shove-it moment. Slater’s attorney, Howard Turman, said his client had been drawn into a fight between two female passengers over space in the overhead bins as the Pittsburgh-to-New York flight was awaiting takeoff. Somehow, Slater was hit in the head, Turman said. Prosecutors said Slater’s actions could have been deadly if ground crew workers had been hit by the emergency slide.

LEONARD PITTS: Let’s go straight to the point on judging others. TOMORROW

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

Politicians aren’t acting in America’s best interest Political articles I read and TV interviews or shows I watch pit Republicans against Democrats or liberals against conservatives. Even our sitting president, who promised to end partisan politics, never misses an opportunity to blame George Bush for our current economic situation or the Republicans for obstructionism. The real question is why can’t our politicians act in the best interest of the American people? Analysts indicate Congress spends $1.82 for every dollar of revenue. Our national debt stands at approximately $13 trillion and rising. High school dropouts or Harvard business school graduates should recognize you can’t spend more than you earn, but our smart elected officials in Washington can’t seem to grasp this concept. What could possibly be wrong with a balanced budget amendment, line item veto or enforcing the current law of not spending money unless it is collected? Go figure. I always believed illegal meant unlawful. How can anyone tolerate unlawful behavior? It is not complicated. Break the law, pay the penalty. Forget ethnicity, social standing, upbringing, sanity and any other ploys our legalistic friends espouse. If it is wrong or illegal, it is just that, self-serving arguments to the contrary. What is so hard to understand about the term illegal alien, or anything illegal for that matter? Black is white, up is down, wrong is right, but as Bill Clinton said, “It depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is.” Are we really that stupid? Are we willing to be

K, so the crowd at the first Uptowne Sidewalk Stroll didn’t knock anybody’s socks off, but it did prove that if the Uptowne High Point Association provides something a little different, folks will show up, stroll and shop. Hats off to the Uptowne High Point Association for pulling it off and to all the merchants and other businesses who participated, who advertised sidewalk sales and, perhaps most important, are willing to try it again, as many as a total of four times a year. Hats off as well to those who showed up and made the stroll’s debut a success. It was encouraging to see groups of people enjoying the music, strolling along N. Main Street sidewalks, looking over the merchandise set out for the sidewalk sale and, on plenty of occasions, making purchases. Good show! Try it again, soon!

Owners have no choice but to drain Jones Lake I am writing this letter to inform the community of what is happening to Jones Lake located

in Thomasville off of Liberty Drive. Several months ago, all the homeowners who own property around the lake received a letter from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) telling us that the dam was dangerous and in need of significant repairs or the lake would have to be drained. Several meetings were held with the owners of property on the lake and it was determined that repairs to the dam were cost prohibitive. Since this was the outcome of the meetings, the four families that have legal rights to the lake and ultimately were faced with the decision have decided to proceed with draining of the lake. We have deadlines to meet or risk the potential of being fined daily so the process will begin soon. We regret this, but realize that financially we cannot make the repairs as requested and draining will meet the expectations set by DENR and the attorney general of North Carolina.

If you can’t tell the difference in luck and performance ...

graduating senior at Hunter College High School in New York gave a speech that brought a standing ovation from his teachers and got his picture in “The New York Times.” I hope it doesn’t go to his head, because what he said was so illogical that it was an indictment of the mush that is being taught at even our elite educational institutions. Young Justin Hudson, described as “black and Hispanic,” opened by saying how much he appreciated reaching his graduation day at this very select public high school. Then he said, “I don’t deserve any of this. And neither do you.” The reason? He and his classmates were there because of “luck and circumstances.” Since Hunter College High School selects its applicants from the whole city on the basis of their test scores, “luck” seems a strange way to characterize why some students are admitted and many others are not. If you can’t tell the difference between luck and performance, what has your education given you, except the rhetoric to conceal your confusion from others and perhaps from yourself? Young Mr. Hudson’s concern, apparently, is about what he referred to as the “demographics” of the school – 41 percent white and 47 percent Asian, with blacks, Hispanics and others obviously far behind. “I refuse to accept” that “the distribution of intelligence in this city” varies by neighborhood, he said. Native intelligence may indeed not vary by neighborhood but actual performance – whether in schools, on the job or elsewhere – involves far more than native intelligence. Wasted intelligence does nothing for an individual or society. The reason a surgeon can operate on your heart, while someone of equal intelligence who is not a surgeon cannot, is because of what different people actually did with their intelligence. That has always varied, not only from individual to individual but from group to group – and not only in this country, but in countries around the world and across the centuries of human history. One of the biggest fallacies of our time is the notion that, if all groups are not proportionally represented in institutions, professions or income levels, that shows something wrong with society. The very possibility that people make their own choices, and that those choices have consequences – for themselves and for others – is ignored. Society is the universal scapegoat. If “luck” is involved, it is the luck to be born into families and communities whose val-

ues and choices turn out to be productive for themselves and for others who benefit from the skills they acquire. Observers who blame tests or other criteria for the demographic imbalances which are the rule – not the exception – around the world, OPINION are blaming whatever conveys differences for creating those Thomas differences. Sowell They blame the messenger ■■■ who brings bad news. If test scores are not the same for people from different backgrounds, that is no proof that there is something wrong with the tests. Tests do not exist to show what your potential was when you entered the world but to measure what you have actually accomplished since then, as a guide to what you are likely to continue to do in the future. Tests convey a difference that tests did not create. But the messenger gets blamed for the bad news. Similarly, if prices are higher in high-crime neighborhoods, that is often blamed on those who charge those prices, rather than on those who create the higher costs of higher rates of shoplifting, robbery, vandalism and riots, which are passed on to those who shop in those neighborhoods. The prices convey a reality that the prices did not create. If these prices represent simply “greed” for higher profits, then why do most profit-seeking businesses avoid high-crime neighborhoods like the plague? It is painful that people with lower incomes often have to pay higher prices, even though most people are not criminals, even in a highcrime neighborhood. But misconstruing the reasons is not going to help anybody, except race hustlers and politicians. One of the many disservices done to young people by our schools and colleges is giving them the puffed up notion that they are in a position to pass sweeping judgments on a world that they have barely begun to experience. A standing ovation for childish remarks may produce “self-esteem” but promoting presumptuousness is unlikely to benefit either this student or society.

arriage was once seen as the ultimate show of love. It was meant to represent a coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unwavering devotion to one another. It was a strong, unbreakable bond that knitted two people together for all eternity. It was not misused or taken lightly as it seems to be now. Those who still take the sacred vows seriously must be shocked and even outraged by the recent explosion of adultery in the world around us. The relationship of Jesse James and Sandra Bullock is the most recent example of a cheating spouse, and it is being advertised as front page news in which it seems that Bullock is being put on trial just as much as her untrue mate. Rumors swirl around as the media shamelessly tries to make the story more explosive for their own personal benefit, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how they could make it anymore despicable and stomach churning. People who go outside of their marriages in that way are basically proving how little they care about the vows they took and the promises they made to their significant other. The sanctity of marriage is being corrupted before our eyes and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re powerless to stop it. We can hardly force all adulterers to wear the scarlet letter A. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make others see that marriage isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a menu in which you can pick and choose what parts you would like to respect and honor. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big decision, and I can see that. But if you are not ready to commit to one person for the rest of your life, then donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get married and make a mockery of something that should be seen

Lennon killer’s parole hearing postponed BUFFALO, N.Y. – The parole hearing for John Lennon’s killer has been postponed for a month. Mark David Chapman was scheduled to be interviewed this week at Attica Correctional Facility. A spokesman for the Division of Parole says Chapman was told Tuesday his interview has been rescheduled for early September. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

WASHINGTON (AP) – A combative Rep. Charles Rangel told the House on Tuesday he’s not resigning despite 13 charges of wrongdoing and demanded the ethics committee not leave him “swinging in the wind.” Rangel, 80, spoke without notes in an often emotional 37-minute speech that defied his lawyers’ advice to keep quiet. The New York Democrat and 40-year House veteran had a sharp message in dismissing fellow Democrats who, worried about election losses, want him to quit: “If I can’t get my dignity back here, then fire your best

It would be highly unlikely in Rangel’s case because the former chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee is not accused of corruption. After he spoke in a half-full House chamber, Speaker Nancy Pelosi made clear in a statement that wasn’t pleased with his choice of venue. “As I have repeatedly stated, the independent, bipartisan ethics committee is the proper arena for ethics matters to be discussed,” she said.

Crash kills local teenager BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A 17-yearold boy was killed when the pickup truck he was riding in crashed in High Point early Tuesday. Steven Zachary Rogers of Jamestown died at a local hospital several hours after the accident, which occurred about 12:40 a.m. on N. College Drive near Montlieu Avenue, according to High Point police. Rogers was a passenger in a 1996 Dodge Ram driven by Andrew Wade Smith that was traveling north on N. College Drive that lost control and ran off the left side of the road, striking a utility pole and fence, police said. Smith, 25, of High Point, was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected. Rogers, who was wearing a seat belt, was trapped inside the

Police said they suspect that speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. truck. After he was freed, he was taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where he died from his injuries. Smith was listed in serious condition at the same hospital on Tuesday. Police said they suspect that speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. The truck was traveling an estimated 90 mph just before it went out of control, crossing a concrete median and leaving tire impressions for 388 feet, police said. The truck had slowed to about 50 mph when it slammed into the pole and a wrought iron fence with brick columns that surrounds High Point University just south of the main entrance to the campus. The impact of the crash left a hole in the fence. A pile of debris from the portion of the fence that was struck remained in a campus parking lot at the crash scene Tuesday afternoon. A police spokesman said traffic investigators had not finished their report on the accident Tuesday afternoon. He said investigators believe Smith had been drinking prior to the crash, but he did not have additional information about how police believe alcohol contributed to the accident. Police said they expect charges to be filed at a later date. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Book backpacks Students will have take-home reading

Eric Duchess, instructor of history at High Point University, was selected to participate in the annual reading and scoring of the College Board’s Advanced Placement Examinations in U.S. history. Each year, the AP Program, which is sponsored by the College Board, gives more than 1.5 million capable high school students an opportunity to take rigorous collegelevel courses and examinations.

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Students at Thomasville Primary School will have books to take home on the weekends this school year as part of a new reading initiative. Ceretha Mitchell, executive director of curriculum for Thomasville City Schools, said the system recently bought 635 backpacks that will be filled with five books each for students to take home to read over the weekends. She said the system bought the backpacks and books with funds set aside for parental involvement through Title I funds. “There’s different needs with our diverse population as far as putting books in students hands,” Mitchell said. “We know that some homes are full in rich in print on the weekends and some are not. We just felt the need to make sure it is a level playing field and that all of our students have the opportunity to continue reading throughout the weekend.” The reading initiative was established after Mitchell and Mike Ingram, the system’s Title I director, sat down to discuss how they could best reach all of the parents in the community, according to Mitchell. Mitchell hopes that providing the books to younger children will give them the opportunity to have a “very solid foundation in reading.” The program will

The system also has the goal of extending the program to fourth and fifth graders if funding becomes available. “We know the more

time with text, the more comprehension we will increase for students,” Mitchell said. “Our goal is for every student to take home a backpack at the end of the year.” Mitchell said there’s enough books for 25 to 26 weekends. The system plans on supplementing library books in the back-

packs as it runs out. The books include questions for parents to ask as their children read the books. “Hopefully, with a little more direction and some vocabulary specifics, it will be more than just a reading experience,” Mitchell said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Randleman lake will provide major buffer against droughts BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDLEMAN – Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority board member Lewis Dorsett of Archdale won’t go so far as to proclaim that Randleman Regional Reservoir makes the communities it will serve completely droughtproof. But the lake that will be able to provide up to 12 million gallons of drinking water daily – in addition to existing water supplies – comes as close to erasing the fear of drought on water supplies as any development before it, Dorsett said. “This puts us in the best shape we’ve ever been,” said Dorsett, an Archdale city councilman, as he toured the Randleman Regional Reservoir treatment plant and

pumping stations with his fellow authority board members Tuesday. Crews are putting the finishing touches on the treatment plant and pumping stations that will provide drinking water to customers in Randolph County and High Point, Archdale, Jamestown, Greensboro and Randleman. During the last decade, a persistent drought in the Triad prompted water restrictions in communities across the region. With the addition of water from Randleman Regional Reservoir, the Triad now has a significant cushion against the impact of future droughts on water restrictions, Dorsett said. The addition of Randleman Regional Reservoir also gives area communities a selling point when recruiting new industry

or encouraging an expansion by existing employers, Dorsett said. Leaders can tell industry representatives that access and availability of water won’t become an issue if they do business in the area. “We have been touting the Randleman Regional Reservoir to clients since the groundbreaking ceremony,” High Point Economic Development Corp. President Loren Hill told The High Point Enterprise. “It impresses companies considering High Point when we let them know the city has ample water today. They are even more impressed when they hear that Randleman coming on line gives us a backup reservoir that will serve our city well into the future.” pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

NC military cities tops in average income FAYETTEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steady paychecks and a growing flow of Pentagon dollars pushed average pay in North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two largest military communities beyond bigger metro areas like Charlotte and Raleigh. The Jacksonville metropolitan statistical area, home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, led the country with personal income growth of 14 percent in 2009, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The local per capita income was the highest in the state at $44,664, The Fayetteville Observer reported Tuesday. The Fayetteville metro area saw earnings grow 5 percent last year to $40,917. The military dollars have powered civilian businesses, said Kristie Meave, spokeswoman for the Fayetteville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are using that income to pay for everyday goods, such as groceries, to eat out,â&#x20AC;? Meave said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also buying luxury items with this money, which keeps our retail industry doing very well.â&#x20AC;?

UNC Greensboro: Health information compromised GREENSBORO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Officials at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro say computer security breaches at two clinics allowed unauthorized access to information on about 2,500 people. The university says two computers were infected in the universi-

tyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Speech and Hearing Center and Psychology Clinic. Officials say the virus would have allowed access to the data. It is not known whether any information was actually taken. One of the computers was used for billing and held records of about 2,300 people who had

received services from the Speech and Hearing Center since 1997. It included Social Security numbers, personal health information and other data. The university has mailed letters to the last known addresses of the people who had compromised information.

Police remove 6 from school board meeting RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 16-year-old student was among six people removed from a school board meeting in North Carolina, the latest episode in a series of protests over a plan that opponents feel would resegregate the local system. Raleigh police say the six were arrested after

they were removed from the Wake County school board meeting Tuesday afternoon and charged with second-degree trespassing. Multiple media outlets reported that 16-year-old Seth Keel refused to leave the podium after making a short speech criticizing the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move away

from the plan based on diversity and toward neighborhood schools. The other protesters joined him and the group was led away. Three weeks ago, 19 people were arrested during a contentious meeting over the plan to scrap the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diversity policy.

Cold comment turns bedroom into deep freeze

ear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year. When we got together he had just gotten out of a five-year relationship. He says he loves me, but he recently told me that she was better in bed than I am! I have lost confidence in our relationship and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy making love with him now, knowing I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t measure up. His ex was better looking than I am, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why he would say that. I have told him he hurt my feelings, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care. What do I do now? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hurt in Big Sky Country Dear Hurt: Now you ask yourself whether you want to continue a relationship with someone so tactless that he would drop a bomb on you like that one. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telling that when you let him know you were hurt, he let you know he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care. There are diplomatic ways for partners to communicate what they prefer when they are intimate. One of them involves positive reinforcement when their partner does something right. Another is simply saying in plain English what feels good. It appears that your boyfriend is insensitive to the max, my dear. But what you do about it is something no one but you can decide. Dear Abby: I have

been married 11 years to my husband, who is one of nine children. ADVICE My sisterin-law has Dear asked me Abby for a copy â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; of one of our wedding pictures, which is the last time all of them were together. Since the wedding, one of my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sibs has died and another is serving a long stretch in prison. The problem is, she wants to digitally remove me from the picture! I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to give my sister-in-law a copy knowing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be edited out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hurtful, and after all these years it makes me feel like she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully accepted me as part of the family. Am I overreacting? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Blocked Out in Texas Dear Blocked Out: Your sister-in-law wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very diplomatic, but what she is trying to memorialize is the last time her biological family was intact. The situation is poignant, really. My advice is not to take this personally. Give her the picture before any hard feelings â&#x20AC;&#x153;develop.â&#x20AC;? Dear Abby: My 12year-old niece, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amanda,â&#x20AC;? is on her cell phone

constantly. She is the smartest kid I know, but she is failing her classes and has started to lie about everything. I raised her until she was 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I was only 12 myself when I started â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so I am very close to her. Or so I thought. Amanda lives with her dad and stepmom, who are doing their best to raise her, but nothing is working. When she was growing up she never lied, and I mean never. I have told her not to be afraid to talk to me about anything, but she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, and it hurts me that she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to me. What do you suggest I do? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Worried Aunt in Washington

MEDICAL UPDATE:

All-natural relief for male urination problems New all-natural supplement for men helps restore youthful prostate function so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll urinate less often and sleep through the night

Dear Worried Aunt: Speak to Amandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father and suggest that he confiscate her cell phone until her grades improve. If she is texting instead of paying attention in class, and talking instead of doing her homework, that would be a step in the right direction. And continue to tell your niece that if she needs to talk to you about â&#x20AC;&#x153;anything,â&#x20AC;? you are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and will always be â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there for her.

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ydney White cleared 12 feet 3½ inches in the Junior Olympics Pole Vault competition July 30 in Sacramento, Calif., and was awarded first place in the girls’ (1516) division. White, 16, has been seriously devoted to the sport for only 13 months. More amazing, she is afraid of heights. “I don’t picture pole vaulting as falling. To me, it feels like I am flying and then ABOVE landing AND on a mat,” BEYOND White said. UnforPatty Jo tunately, Sawvel her flying ■■■ imagery doesn’t work for roller coasters or climbing, but it does get the job done for her sport of choice. Actually, she happened upon pole vaulting in a most unexpected manner. At East Forsyth High School, coaches fed the track statistics for each team member into a special computer program. White was shocked to learn she was selected for pole vaulting. She decided to trust the technology and give it her best. At her first and only track meet in her freshman year, White cleared 7 feet. Then, in June 2009, White decided to intensify her commitment to pole vaulting and began working with coach Van Hall in Reidsville. By practicing three days a week, doing 20 to 30 jumps a day, White began to soar. In November, she started the season by clearing 10 feet, added another 6 inches at the state championship, mastered 11 feet by March 2010 and had a personal record of 12 feet 1 inch prior to the Junior Olympics. “By working so hard at practice, I was able to build muscle memory. That freed my mind to concentrate on one specific area for improvement at a time,” White said. Hard work also built White’s confidence. She proved to herself that it is not luck when she wins a competition. Through excellent coaching in and out of school and by hard work, she has earned every inch. Constantly raising the bar is not easy. Two months ago, at a public meet at which she could have cleared 12 feet, Hall told White to raise the bar to 12 feet 7 inches. Perplexed, she did as she was asked and failed to clear the bar. “When I got my feet and hips over the bar I realized that this height was going to come soon,” White said. White’s goal for the upcoming season is 13 feet. White wants to polevault in college while studying business or medicine. “And, I’d like to be a coach,” she said, “so that I can help other kids reach their goals.” PATTY JO SAWVEL is a freelance writer from Kernersville.

BIBLE QUIZ

uestion: What would be a good ground cover for poor soils in hot dry areas?

Answer: There are numerous kinds of sedum, also known as stone crop, that thrive in soils that are hot and dry. The ground cover forms of sedum include varieties such as gold moss, dragon’s blood, red carpet, tricolor and oak-leaf. Sedums are usually succulents with green, gray or red leaves. Sedum flowers are small, star-shaped, and usually borne in clusters. They range in color from white and yellow to pink and purple. The easy cultivation of sedum is a gardener’s dream. Most root easily from stem cuttings. They thrive in alkaline soil and full sun. Gold moss sedum grows only a few inches high and makes a great ground cover or rock garden plant.

While not a ground cover, Autumn Joy sedum with its gray-green leaves adds contrast to the perennial garden. It reaches 18 to 24 inches and in autumn, flowers change from a deep pink to pinkish-bronze, then finally to copper-red. To add texture to a garden during winter months, leave sedum uncut. Another sedum that greatly adds to the perennial border is Vera Jameson, which reaches 10 inches in height. It’s reddish-green leaves add contrast in foliage color and texture, a quality highly desired by landscape designers.

Hernias can be watched

ear Dr. Donohue: I have a small, soft bulge in my right groin. No pain is involved. I think it might be a hernia. I am active and 43. I don’t do any really heavy work. If it is a hernia, I can’t afford time off from my job right now. Is immediate surgery demanded? How long would I be off work? Is there any danger in putting surgery off? – L.K.

BLONDIE

The abdominal “wall” is composed of muscles and ligaments that keep the abdominal organs in place. It extends from the ribs to the pelvic bones. A hernia is a bulge in that wall; it’s a weak spot. The covering of the abdominal organs protrudes through the weak spot. Men have more groin hernias than women because, during fetal life, the testes start out inside the abdomen and migrate into the scrotum. Their migratory path leaves a weak spot in the groin, the site for a hernia. The only true cure for a hernia is surgery. However, repair doesn’t have to be immediate. Many people go through life with a hernia without having it fixed. If the bulge is large or painful, it needs quick attention. Hernias can become incarcerated or strangulated. Incarcerated means that the bulge can be pushed back into the abdomen. Strangulated means the blood supply to the hernia is cut off, and it produces severe pain. It has to be fixed immediately. These hernia complications

are rare events. Your question about time of recuperation depends on HEALTH the kind of surgery Dr. Paul done. Donohue Some ■■■ surgeons repair a hernia with a laparoscope, a telescopelike device inserted under the abdominal wall for viewing. Instruments are similarly passed through small incisions. Laparoscopic surgery is less painful than standard surgery, and recuperation is a bit faster. Recurrences of the hernia, however, occur slightly more often with this procedure. If you have a sedentary job, you should be back at work in 10 days. Manual labor requires longer recuperation. The doctor instructs patients not to lift loads greater than 25 pounds from four to six weeks after the operation. Dear Dr. Donohue: What is meningitis? How do you catch it? How is it treated? How often does it cause death? – E.H. Meningitis is an infection of the meninges, the three coverings of the brain and spinal cord. The infection comes from bacteria or viruses. Signs of bacterial meningitis are headache, stiff neck, high temperature, delirium, and, if not treated, coma and death. Viral meningitis for the most part, but not al-

ways, has less florid but similar symptoms. The most important test for meningitis is microscopic examination of the spinal fluid to find the cause. Bacterial meningitis can be passed to others through droplets of oral secretions coming from an infected person or from a carrier who has no signs of illness. Viral meningitis is transferred in a number of ways. Mosquitoes are involved in some cases. Antibiotics are the treatment for bacterial meningitis. Only a few medicines are effective for viral meningitis. When treated early, death from meningitis is rare. Dear Dr. Donohue: Do humans ever catch heartworm from their dogs? I have my dog treated to prevent it and got to wondering about this. – L.V. Dog heartworms are due to the parasite called dirofilaria and are passed to the dog from infected mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can pass the parasite to humans, but it never completely matures in humans. It can form a lung granuloma, a heap of dead cells that is about the size of a coin. Such granulomas are infrequent causes of illness. Dogs do not pass the illness to humans. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Pieces of 2011 Cup schedule fall into place. 3D

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Rick Hendrick wanted to put Kasey Kahne in a Chevrolet for next season. He settled for a Toyota instead. Kahne is set to replace Mark Martin in Hendrick’s No. 5 Chevy in 2012. As part of that deal, Kahne decided to leave Richard Petty Motorsports at the end of his season with the un-

derstanding that Hendrick would find him a ride for 2011. Hendrick Kahne c a n n o t field a car for Kahne next year because NASCAR allows an owner a maximum of four teams, and all of Hendrick’s slots are full for next season with Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnahradt Jr. and Mark Martin. Unable to find a competitive Chevrolet, Hendrick struck a deal with Toytoa-fielding Red Bull Racing, which qualified for the Chase

for the Championship last season. “Of everything we looked at, he and I agree it’s the best opportunity for him to be successful in 2011, which was always our number-one priority,” Hendrick said in a statement. “The process went on longer than any of us anticipated, but I’m glad that we took our time to make sure it was right. And although I’m not looking forward to racing against him next year, I’m comfortable knowing this is the best situation for Kasey.” The move will mean that Kahne will drive four makes of cars in four seasons (he drove

Dodges in 2008 and Fords this season for RPM). “This opportunity places me with an established, competitive team that has proven they can win races and make the Chase,” Kahne said. “I have great respect for Red Bull, so to have the opportunity to drive for Red Bull Racing Team in 2011 is a great fit for me, both personally and professionally. It feels good to be able to finally put this to rest and focus my energy on finishing the season strong for the No. 9 team and our sponsors.” Red Bull team manager Jay Frye said in a statement that the deal happened “very quickly.

Frye did not announce if Kahne would fill the seat of one of its existing No. 82 or No. 83 teams or if another team will be added. “Over the next month, we will finalize the specific team details.” Frye said. Status of the team’s drivers Brian Vickers and Scott Speed is uncertain for next year. Vickers has been sidelined by blood clots since May and wants to return but won’t know until he completes treatment in November. Speed’s contract expires at the end of this season. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Panthers gamble on Connor SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — It was inevitable Dan Connor would play football. His father was a player and still coaches high school ball. Both of his older brothers played and now coach, and there is video floating around of Connor as a toddler dressed in full football gear showing off his threepoint stance. Connor starred in high school, set Penn State’s career tackles record and seemed poised to be successful in the NFL, too, as a third-round pick. After two rocky years of injuries and playing behind a two-time Pro Bowl pick, Connor is about to finally get his big chance as the Carolina Panthers’ starting middle linebacker. “I didn’t mind it too much early on and then you start to anxious,” Connor said Tuesday. “About halfway through last season I started to get anxious, wanting to get

out there and start playing.” A key injury has put Connor on this unexpected path. He went into offseason workouts expecting to back up Beason at middle linebacker again and play special teams until weakside linebacker Thomas Davis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in June for the second time in a year. The coaching staff decided to make a bold switch. Beason, who set a Carolina record with 169 tackles last season, was moved to Davis’ old spot and Connor replaced Beason in the middle. “I wasn’t sure what they were going to do and I got a call from Jon and he said they might try that as an option during (offseason workouts),” Connor said. “We did it and Jon felt good. Jon’s making plays on that weak side so he was liking it. I was liking

HIGH POINT – The High Point University men’s basketball team has added point guard Xavier Martin to the 2010-11 recruiting class, head coach Scott Cherry announced on Tuesday. Martin averaged 23.4 points and 5.2 assists

Coming off a rare loss at 100 meters, Olympic and world champion Usain Bolt is cutting his season short, saying he won’t race again in 2010 because of tightness in his lower back. The Jamaican’s manager, Ricky Simms, wrote in an e-mail Tuesday that the world record-holder at 100 and 200 meters will have treatment to loosen his back and then rest, skipping IAAF Diamond League track and field meets in Zurich on Aug. 19, and in Brussels on Aug. 27. “It is better for me not to take any risks this year,” Bolt said, according to Simms. “2011 and 2012 are very important ... and I hope to be back fully fit and healthy. I ... look forward to coming back stronger next year.” Bolt hadn’t lost an individual race in two years until Friday, when Tyson Gay of the United States beat him at the DN Galan meet in Stockholm.

iger Woods still seeks his first victory of the season on the eve of the PGA Championship. When Tiger, Y.E. Yang and Vijay Singh tee off from No. 1 on Thursday morning at 9:20, Woods will be paired with the man who denied him his 15th career major title in one of the most unexpected rallies in golf history. A year ago, Woods entered the final round of the PGA Championship with a two-stroke lead. His 14-0 career mark in majors when

leading after 54 holes seemed to guarantee a Tiger triumph. But Yang had other ideas. Playing in the final twosome, Yang stared down Tiger, chased him down and held him off for an amazing upset. Tiger lost some of his aura of invincibility. A few months later, Woods was engulfed in a swirl of personal woes and he’s yet to regain his legendary winning form. Perhaps the extra motivation of playing with Yang in the first two rounds will pro-

vide the major spark Tiger needs to get back on track. If it doesn’t, Woods appears headed for just his fifth season without a major title since turning pro in 1997. Tiger’s previous majorless campaigns were 1998, 2003, ‘04 and ‘09. You never count Woods out in a major. But for one of the few times in the past 13 years, Tiger enters a major without the tag of prohibitive favorite.

MOTORSPORTS, FOOTBALL THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2010 www.hpe.com

Cup horsepower on way to Kentucky SPARTA, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former NASCAR star Darrell Waltrip promised the original owners of Kentucky Speedway that if they built the 1.5-mile track tucked in the northern Kentucky hills right, NASCAR would trip over itself trying to give the circuit a Cup race. More than a decade, a bitter court case, a well-timed sale and some sweet talking from one of the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful figures later, Waltrip was right. Finally. NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top series will debut at the track on July 9, 2011, part of a revamped 2011 Cup schedule designed to goose the seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sagging attendance figures and

provide it with some needed buzz. Kansas announced earlier Tuesday it will host a second race next year, getting the second Cup date previously held by Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., which announced itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one race in 2011 will be March 27. Phoenix International Raceway, meanwhile, is moving one of its races into the second week of the year, which had previously been filled by the California track. Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new date is June 5. The track also will host the fourth race of the Chase for the Championship on Oct. 9. The full Cup schedule is expected to be completed by Aug. 18th.

Kentucky is the first new venue to join the Cup schedule since Chicago and Kansas were added in 2001. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The announcement ended a decadelong pursuit of a Cup date for the original owners, who grew so angry by NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perceived reluctance to award the track a Cup race that they filed an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and International Speedway Corp. in 2005, claiming they had an unfair monopoly on the sport. The case ended earlier this year, clearing the way for new owner Speedway Motorsports Inc., to juggle its track lineup to hand Kentucky the Cup date it

has coveted for so long. Former owner Jerry Carroll, whose group sold the track to SMI in 2008, gave all the credit to SMI owner Bruton Smith.

TWO FOR IOWA CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iowa Speedway is on track to host two Nationwide Series races in 2011. NASCAR last week sent a copy of the 2011 Nationwide schedule to its teams, and a copy was obtained by The Associated Press. It shows the Iowa racetrack hosting NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-tier series on May 22 and July 23.

Renfree answer as Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterback L

etâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play Atlantic Coast Conference football trivia for a second. Quick now, for an ego boost, name the team located in North Carolina that led the league in passing yardage SPORTS last season and is Greer replacing Smith its starting â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; quarterback. Wake Forest, you say. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good try but would be wrong, even though Riley Skinner finished with a bushel basket of school passing records. The Demon Deacons finished fourth in the league with an average of 271.6 yards per game and Skinner wound up third with 3,160 yards. No, the correct answer is Duke. Yes, Duke, thanks to the arm of Thaddeus Lewis. The Blue Devils wound up ninth in the country with an average of 305 yards per game and their total of 3,660 remained first in the league even though they did not play in a bowl game. Lewis ended the regular season first with 3,330 yards, anchored by a league single-game best of 467 yards against N.C. State, plus 388 against Wake Forest and 385 against Maryland. He ended his career with a school-record 10,065 yards, second only in league history to the 13,484 posted by Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Philip Rivers. His efforts last year enabled Duke to finish 3-5 in the league and 5-7 overall, a significant improvement for a program that had not won three games in the league since 1999 and had just four league wins total and went 0-8 four times from 2000-08. Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; departure does not have head coach

David Cutcliffe undecided about a replacement. Instead of having the position up for grabs in a situation similar to the four-man battle to replace Skinner at Wake Forest, Cutcliffe is set on using redshirt sophomore Sean Renfree. Unlike the situation at Wake, where none of the four candidates has thrown a pass in a game, Renfree stood as the heir apparent because he saw game action last season. He came off the bench when Lewis had an off day at Army to throw two touchdowns and help the Devils rally to a 35-19 victory, He got into threw a touchdown in the late stages of a 44-16 defeat at Kansas and saw action against N.C. Central, Georgia Tech and North Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played well under fire,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He won us the Army game on the road. All of his ingredients are all good. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely intelligent. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big strong guy. He is a natural born leader.â&#x20AC;? Renfree, 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, played a total of 92 snaps last season, completing 34-of-50 passes for 330 yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions. His first throw resulted in a 17yard touchdown against Army. On the negative side, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee against Georgia Tech. Cutcliffe said that Renfree is OK physically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy and well and ready to compete,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be tough mentally and physically because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t baby our quarterbacks. They are used to getting coach hard. Sean is a tough guy. You try to create an edge and I think he is capable of having that special edge.â&#x20AC;? Renfree may need to be tough because the Blue Devils allowed 28 quarterback sacks last year.

His arm likely needs to be tough because Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rushing game was by far the worst last in the league, averaging just 63.5 yards per game (more than 36 ypg less than second-worst Virginia). Citing an overall increase in team speed that included 17 players with times of 4.5 seconds or better in the 40-yard dash during the spring, Cutcliffe believes the Blue Devils will run more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a big spring (running the ball),â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we are more physical in the offensive front. We had more competition there. And, we have more speed at running back.â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe, who is starting his third season and turned down a chance to return to Tennessee as replacement for Lane Kiffin, believes the Devils are much better than when he took the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how far we had to go,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished with our facilities is phenomenal. When I look at us physically, there is no comparison.â&#x20AC;? What remains to be seen is whether the improvements under Cutcliffeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction are enough to produce Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first winning season since an 8-4 mark in 1994. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe our guys think they can win,â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We won two ACC games on the road and three in a row last year. You take that away from them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the back of their minds. Now, the next step is to win a few more of those. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to throw our hat in the ring. If it is tight and it is close, if you get a break here and there, and we stay healthy, good things can happen.â&#x20AC;? Cutcliffe has a quarterback with experience. He needs much more than that for the good things to happen. gsmith@hpe.con | 888-3519

Maryland linebacker Alex Wujciak (left) jokes around with head football coach Ralph Friedgen before they posed for a group photo during the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media day on Tuesday.

Terps try to forget 2009 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLLEGE PARK, Md. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; During the cold of winter and the warmth of spring, Ralph Friedgen never stopped reliving the worst season of his lengthy coaching career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 2-10, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a day goes by that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about that,â&#x20AC;? Friedgen said Tuesday at media day, hours before the Terrapins held their first summer practice. Maryland is coming off the first 10-loss season in school history. The Terrapins dropped their final seven games, concluding with a 19-17 defeat at Boston College. The focus this summer will be on staying fresh and building a positive attitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a lot of thinking between the Boston College game and to now, things we can do better as coaches, how we can better utilize our players, how we can keep them healthy,â&#x20AC;? Friedgen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made some changes.â&#x20AC;? In an effort to avoid the rash of injuries that con-

tributed heavily to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disaster, the Terrapins intend to prepare smartly for the Sept. 6 opener against in-state rival Navy. Friedgen intends to lighten up on the hardcontact drills and will hold two scrimmages instead of the usual three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fine line between getting them ready to play and not getting them injured,â&#x20AC;? Friedgen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be really in tune to.â&#x20AC;? The plan for 2010 is to erase the stigma of the 2-10 season a week at a time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our first goal is be 10. Our next goal is to 2-0 and so on,â&#x20AC;? senior center Paul Pinegar said. The Terrapins are picked by the Atlantic Coast Conference media to finish last in the Atlantic Conference. But Friedgen pointed out that in 2009, Maryland beat conference foe Clemson and played well against the other four teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that big a gap between first and sixth,â&#x20AC;? Friedgen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to talk about

this and convince them. I think once we do that, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see this team grow in confidence. The ability is there. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to believe.â&#x20AC;? The Terrapins got off to an encouraging start when every player passed the conditioning test for the first time in Friedgenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-year run at his alma mater. Friedgen said linebacker Avery Murray left the team for personal reasons and that running back Taylor Watson (knee) and defensive end Deâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Onte Arnett (cyst) will miss most of camp.

SEC teams still chasing Tide, Gators BY JOHN ZENOR AP SPORTS WRITER

HONOR FOR PATERNO

Take heart, Southeastern Conference: Tim Tebow and Mount Cody are gone. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, there will be no Tebow barreling over defenders for Florida, and no Cody clogging up the middle for Alabama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The two teams that lost the most just on paper is probably Alabama and Florida,â&#x20AC;? Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said. But that was expected, since those two teams arguably had the most to lose. However, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still the odds-on favorites to meet in the SEC championship game for a third straight year, with the winner likely competing for a national title â&#x20AC;&#x201C; again. Florida and Alabama have combined to win the BCS championship three of the last four years; the other one went to SEC rival LSU. As an added treat, Florida and Alabama meet on Oct. 2 in Tuscaloosa. That at least guarantees they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play as unbeatens in the SEC title game. Chasing the defending champion Tide in the Western Division will be two teams led by transfer quarterbacks, Arkansas and Ryan Mallett and Mississippi and newcomer Jeremiah Masoli. Not to mention an LSU team trying to get back on top and Auburn playing catch-up with in-state rival Alabama. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every team on our end of it is going to improve,â&#x20AC;? Saban said. Florida could face a challenge from Georgia and receiver A.J. Green. South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steve Spurrier has Stephen Garcia back running his offense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The East is completely wide open,â&#x20AC;? Gators coach Urban Meyer said. There was plenty of turnover around the league in the two most high-profile positions: Head coach and quarterback. Tennessee replaces Lane Kiffin with coach Derek Dooley. Vanderbilt welcomes first-time college head coach Robbie Caldwell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thanks to Bobby Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midsummer retirement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joker Phillips got to remove the in-waiting part of his title. With Tebow in the NFL, Mallett is the only bona fide returning star at quarterback, though Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greg McElroy still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost as a starter since eighth-grade. The Tideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stingy defense must replace two-time All-America noseguard Terrence â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mountâ&#x20AC;? Cody and Butkus Award-winning linebacker Rolando McClain. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still running back Mark Ingram â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Tideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Heisman winner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and fellow Alabama offensive threats Julio Jones and Trent Richardson. The Meyer-Saban battle remained intact, though, when the Florida coach changed his mind a day after announcing he was stepping down last December after a health scare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The battery is recharged,â&#x20AC;? Meyer said in July. And so is the battle for No. 1 in the SEC.

EAST FLORIDA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: QB John Brantley, RB Jeff Demps, CB Janoris Jenkins. Returning starters: 6 offense. 5 defense. Notes: Overlooked with loss of Tim Tebow, three top receivers are also gone. Brantley has played in 16 games with 10 touchdowns and one interception. Coach Urban Meyer said a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bunchâ&#x20AC;? of newcomers from loaded recruiting class will play. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin replaces Charlie Strong. GEORGIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: WR A.J.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn State football coach Joe Paterno has been nominated for the highest civilian award in the country. Congressmen including Glenn Thompson, Mark Critz and Tim Holden say the Hall of Fame coach deserves a Presidential Medal of Freedom for his service to the Nittany Lions, the university and the State College community. Their nomination letter to President Barack Obama says Paterno personifies sportsmanship on the field and academic achievement in the classroom while also noting Paternoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philanthropic efforts. Paternoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 394 career victories are most among college coaches. A spokesman for Critz says Critz and Holden were approached by House staffers who are Penn State graduates to nominate Paterno and Thompson helped lead the effort. Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district includes State College, about 150 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heisman Trophy winner, Alabama running back Mark Ingram (22) goes through a drill during practice on Monday. The Crimson Tide and Florida are favored to meet in the Southeastern Conference championship game. Green, QB Aaron Murray, LT Clint Boling. Returning starters: 10 offense; 5 defense. Notes: Switching to three-man front on defense under new coordinator Todd Grantham. DE Justin Houston and RB Richard Samuel moved to LB. Entire starting offensive line returns after allowing league-low 12 sacks. Backfield is strong, led by Washaun Ealey and Caleb King. P Drew Butler is one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best. SOUTH CAROLINA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: QB Stephen Garcia, WR Alshon Jeffery, DE Cliff Matthews. Returning starters: 8 offense, 7 defense. Notes: RB Kenny Miles and top four rushers return, joined by top recruit Marcus Lattimore. Shawn Elliott is third offensive line coach in as many years; Gamecocks allowed 37 sacks last year. Garcia is the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading active passer, but has been erratic for nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 102-ranked scoring offense. TENNESSEE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: WR Gerald Jones, TB Tauren Poole, DE Chris Walker. Returning starters: 5 offense, 6 defense. Notes: New coach Derek Dooley inherits culture and roster issues. Must replace two top rushers and passers, and four leading tacklers. Battling for QB job are freshman Tyler Bray and junior college transfer Matt Simms, son of ex-Giants QB Phil and brother of current Titansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; player Chris. RB Bryce Brown and QB Nick Stephens left team in offseason. KENTUCKY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: WR/RS Randall Cobb, TB Derrick Locke, DE DeQuin Evans. Returning starters: 5 offense, 7 defense. Notes: Joker Phillips only second black head football coach in SEC. QBs

Mike Hartline, Morgan Newton and Ryan Mossakowski battling for starting job. Wildcats have won at least seven games four straight years for the first time since 1909-12. Cobb and Locke were APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first- and second-team all-purpose players, respectively. VANDERBILT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: QB Larry Smith, RB/RS Warren Norman, LB Chris Marve. Returning starters: 6 offense, 5 defense. Notes: Robbie Caldwell has a tough audition as interim head coach after replacing Bobby Johnson in mid-July. Vandy faces 10 teams that made bowl games last season. LB Chris Marve was SECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 2 tackler. Starting QB Larry Smith returns but had just four TD passes against seven INTs last season for leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst scoring offense (16.3 ppg).

WEST ALABAMA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: RB Mark Ingram, QB Greg McElroy, LB Dontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;a Hightower. Returning starters: 8 offense, 2 defense. Notes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DE Marcell Dareusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; status was unclear entering fall camp with an NCAA investigation into who paid for a trip to Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Beach. Backfield of Ingram and sophomore Trent Richardson might be nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best duo. Only two defensive starters return, but replacements include several highly touted youngsters. ARKANSAS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: QB Ryan

Mallett, WR Greg Childs, LB Jerry Franklin. Returning starters: 9 offense, 7 defense. Notes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Most returning starters among SEC teams. Mallett and all his key targets are back from leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top scoring and passing offense. One of the deepest, best receiving corps around. Bobby Petrino promoted Garrick McGee to offensive coordinator. Team leaders in 18 categories return, but defense was SECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst. AUBURN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: QB Cameron Newton, LT Lee Ziemba, LB Josh Bynes. Returning starters: 7 offense. 8 defense. Notes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Only SEC coaching staff to return intact. DBs Aairon Savage, Mike McNeil and Zac Etheridge trying to return from serious injuries. Newton won the No. 1 job in the spring after transferring from JUCO. RB Michael Dyer headlines one of the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; toprated recruiting classes in years. MISSISSIPPI â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: QB Jeremiah Masoli, RB Brandon Bolden, DT Jerrell Powe. Returning starters: 3 offense, 6 defense. Notes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 9 returning starters is fewest in SEC, but Masoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transfer from Oregon is a potentially huge boost. Rebels return players responsible for less than 42 percent of passing, rushing and receiving yards. Defensive line remains formidable with Jerrell Powe manning the middle. LSU â&#x20AC;&#x201C; QB Jordan Jefferson, LB Kelvin Sheppard, CB Patrick Peterson. Returning starters: 6 offense, 4 defense. Notes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Defense lost 4 of its top 5 tacklers. Nonconference games against North Carolina and West Virginia. Redshirt freshman RB Michael Ford could be big factor in backfield. Peterson and Sheppard are two of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top defenders. MISSISSIPPI ST. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Key players: QBs Chris Relf and Tyler Russell, OT Derek Sherrod, DE Pernell McPhee. Returning starters: 6 offense, 8 defense. Notes: Coach Dan Mullen said bulldozing QB Chris Relf is â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely differentâ&#x20AC;? in his approach and demeanor from last season. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listed as co-No. 1 with Russell. JUCO transfers RB Vick Ballard and 6-foot-7, 345 JUCO DT James Carmon could play roles after going through spring. New coaches Manny Diaz and Chris Wilson will run the defense.

UNC coach, former Olympian, found dead RALEIGH (AP) — Former Olympian Antonio Pettigrew, a sprinter stripped of a gold medal after admitting to doping, was found dead in the backseat of his locked car early Tuesday. Authorities said they are unsure if his death was accidental or a suicide. Chatham County Sheriff’s Maj. Gary Blankenship said Pettigrew’s car was found parked to the side of a bridge. Blankenship said there was evidence that the 42-year-old Pet-

tigrew had taken sleeping pills and there was no sign of foul play. “Obviously we don’t know if it was intentionPettigrew ally or accidental at this point,” Blankenship said of the cause of death. “We might not ever know.” Pettigrew’s death was confirmed by the University of North Carolina, where he was an assistant track coach. His

body has been taken to Chapel Hill for an autopsy. Toxicology results aren’t expected back for at least four weeks. Pettigrew’s wife reported him missing from their home in Apex, located just outside of Raleigh in Wake County, a little after midnight early Tuesday morning, according to Wake Country Sheriff spokeswoman Phyllis Stephens. Blankenship said two friends discovered Pettigrew’s car after retracing his route between home and the North Carolina

campus in Chapel Hill, where he had spent four seasons. “He appeared to be sleeping, but he was unresponsive to them,” Blankenship said. Authorities in Chatham County — located just south of the “Triangle” region of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill — responded to a call around 3:15 a.m. and entered the car before pronouncing Pettigrew dead at the scene. Blankenship said investigators will likely talk with Pettigrew’s family members and friends in the

Orioles remain hot

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — Felix Pie hit the first of four home runs by Baltimore as the Orioles beat the Cleveland Indians 14-8 on Tuesday night in Buck Showalter’s first road game since taking over as manager. Jake Arrietta (4-3) allowed five earned runs over six innings to win for the first time in five starts as the Orioles improved to 7-1 with Showalter in command.

RAYS 8, TIGERS 0 DETROIT — Three Detroit pitchers combined on a four-hitter and the Rays beat the Detroit Tigers 8-0 on Tuesday night. Jeremy Hellickson (2-0) gave up three hits and struck out seven, without walking a batter, over seven innings.

METS 1, ROCKIES 0 NEW YORK — Mike Pelfrey returned to early season form, outpitching Ubaldo Jimenez for seven innings, and Jose Reyes hit a sacrifice fly to help the New York Mets kick off a crucial homestand with a 1-0 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.

Mickelson deals with arthritis SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — Phil Mickelson is being treated for arthritis that surfaced just before the U.S. Open and left him in so much pain he couldn’t walk. Mickelson revealed Tuesday he has psoriatic arthritis, a condition he said causes the immune system to attack the body’s joints and tendons. Weekly shots of Enbrel, which lowers his immune system, have brought the disease under control. “I’m surprised at how quickly it’s gone away, and how quickly it’s been able to be managed and controlled,” he said. “I feel 100 percent, like I say. But when I’m laying there on the couch and I can’t move,

you know, yeah, I had some concerns. But I feel a lot better now.” He’s also has become a vegetarian — almost as shocking a revelation for the burger connoisseur as the illness itself. “I know, I know,” he said as reporters chuckled. “As long as I believe that there’s a possibility that it will help me overall, yeah, I’ll continue to do that. If it will somehow keep this in remission or stop it from coming back, yeah, I’ll be able to do it. But I haven’t been put to the real test. The real test is driving by a Five Guys and not stopping.” The arthritis is the latest health scare for Mickelson’s family. His wife,

Amy, and mother are both battling breast cancer; the long-term prognosis for both is good. Mickelson, who turned 40 in June, said he woke up five days before the U.S. Open with “intense pain” in his tendons and joints that left him unable to move and his joints feeling sprained. Stretching, walking and anti-inflammatories alleviated the pain, and he went ahead and played Pebble Beach, where he shot 66 on Friday to put himself in contention. He wound up tied for fourth. But the condition got progressively worse during the U.S. Open and a family vacation to Hawaii afterward, spreading to his knees, hips and elbows.

Wyndham adds Weir and Kelly ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GREENSBORO – Another former winner of The Masters, on Tuesday, joined the entry list for next week’s Wyndham Championship. Mike Weir, the 2003 winner at Augusta National, and Jerry Kelly were added to the field, tournament officials announced. Weir has seven other PGA TOUR wins, including the 2001 TOUR

Championship. His best 2010 finish is sixth at the Bob Hope Classic. The Brigham Young University alumnus turned professional in 1992 and last played the Wyndham Championship in 2006. When he makes his fourth Wyndham appearance next week, he will be playing Sedgefield Country Club for the first time. Weir is currently 126th in the FedExCup point standings. Kelly will make his 13th

Wyndham Championship appearance when he tees it up at Sedgefield next week. He has four top10 finishes here; the best a tied for fourth in 2001. Kelly is 17th on the Wyndham Championship top50 all-time money winners list with $675,940. He is currently 94th in the FedExCup point standings, and he finished tied for third at the Turning Stone Resort Championship last week, his best result of the season.

Bobcats announce schedule CHARLOTTE (AP) — Reaching the playoffs for the first time didn’t help the Charlotte Bobcats’ television appeal. But the Bobcats’ schedule does include a favorable end-of-season stretch of home games.

coming days to try to gauge his frame of mind. Pettigrew was part of the 1,600-meter U.S. relay team that won the gold medal in the Sydney Olympics in 2000. But the International Olympic Committee stripped the team of the medals two years ago after Pettigrew admitted doping during a trial against former coach Trevor Graham, who was convicted of lying to federal investigators about his relationship to an admitted steroids dealer.

The 82-game slate released Tuesday has Charlotte opening Oct. 27 at Dallas. The home opener is two days later against Indiana. The Bobcats will face powerhouse Miami at home on Jan. 3 and Feb. 4.

Cigarettes seized between reservations BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Thousands of cartons of cigarettes have been seized from a truck that was making deliveries between Seneca Indian Nation reservations in western New York. New York Taxation and Finance spokesman Brad Maione confirms cigarettes were seized because they didn’t bear state tax stamps as required by law.

‘Street View’ will come to Germany

Fed responds to worries WASHINGTON (AP) — More worried about the strength of the economic recovery, the Federal Reserve took a small step Tuesday to give it a boost. Wrapping up a one-day meeting, the Fed said it will use the proceeds from its investments in mortgage bonds to buy government debt. That should help lower interest rates on mortgages and corporate debt, but it won’t likely have a dramatic impact on stimulating growth, economists say. Delivering a more downbeat assessment

of the recovery, the Fed now believes economic growth will be “more modest” than it had anticipated at its late June meeting. Citing “subdued” inflation, the Fed said it would keep its target for a key interest rate at zero to 0.25 percent for a “extended period.” The focus again on energizing the recovery is a shift from earlier this year, when the Fed was starting to lay out its exit strategy for eventually boosting interest rates. Economists said the move to buy government debt on a small scale —

about $10 billion a month — along with the other options at the Fed’s disposal, will have only a marginal impact on boosting economic growth. With interest rates at record lows, Congress has more power than the Fed to stimulate the recovery, economists say. But they differ on whether the best action is through shortterm government spending or tax cuts, or some combination of the two. “The Fed’s remaining tools won’t be very effective unless we see a severe deterioration in financial market conditions,” said

David Jones, head of DMJ Advisors, a Denver-based consulting firm and the author of several books on the Fed. Still, investors reacted positively to the statement. Stocks that were down sharply before the announcement made up some lost ground. The Dow Jones industrial average, down about 102 points just before the Fed decision, was down about 27 points a short time later. However, the market was likely to fluctuate, as it usually does while investors pore over the Fed’s statement.

BERLIN (AP) — Google will introduce its “Street View” mapping feature for 20 of Germany’s largest cities before the end of the year, the company announced Tuesday, launching a new debate over privacy in Germany. German officials have been one of the harshest critics of the “Street View” program, which provides detailed photographs of neighborhoods taken by Google cameras. At the insistence of authorities, the faces of individuals and licenses plates will be blurred. People can also ask to have images of their homes removed from the database starting next week — a move aimed at dispelling privacy fears.

Productivity falls in 2nd quarter

Oil near $80 ahead of Fed meeting NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices fell Tuesday on more signs of slowing U.S. and global economies, and the Federal Reserve debated the best ways to energize the recovery. Benchmark crude fell $1.24 to $80.24 a barrel in midday trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Wendy’s/Arby’s to open in Russia ATLANTA (AP) — Wendy’s/Arby’s Group plans to open 180 dual-branded Wendy’s and Arby’s restaurants in Russia over the next 10 years. The company’s international affiliate signed a deal with Wenrus Restaurant Group Ltd., an affiliate of Food Service Capital, in the Russian Federation. Terms of the deal to run the company’s restaurants were not disclosed in a news release Tuesday. Wendy’s/Arby’s CEO Roland Smith said the move is key to the company’s growth because Russia has long-term expansion potential.

“They seem to have quite a handle on what’s going on, which is what you want them to do,” said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners LLC in New York. Treasury prices rose slightly as investors were pleased by the Fed’s plan to buy government debt, which would reduce the amount of Treasury securities in the market. The yield on the Treasury’s 10-year note, which moves in the opposite direction from its price, fell to 2.77 percent from 2.82 percent just before the announcement.

China exports rise as import growth weakens BEIJING (AP) — China’s exports grew strongly in July but import growth fell as its rapid economic expansion cooled, possibly hurting global demand. Exports rose 38.1 percent over a year ago to $145.5 billion while imports gained 22.7 percent to $116.8 billion, the customs agency reported Tuesday. Export growth eased from June’s 43.9 percent rate while import growth tumbled from June’s 34.1 percent expansion. Weakness in China’s demand for imports could dent its ability to help to drive a global recovery amid Europe’s debt crisis and slack sales elsewhere. China’s voracious appetite for imports has eased as Beijing clamped down on a boom in bank lending and construction to avert a possible asset price bubble. Economic growth slowed from the first quarter’s 11.9 percent to 10.3 percent in the second quarter. Foreign economies have felt the impact of falling global

commodity price as surging Chinese demand eased. Mining and other companies that enjoyed a windfall from China’s boom warn their explosive sales growth will slow. Import growth was slower than expected, reflecting slowing Chinese investment and lower commodity prices, analysts said. “The drop in imports might affect those countries that supply China with raw materials,” said economist Xing Ziqiang of China International Capital Corp. Import weakness boosted China’s monthly trade surplus to $28.7 billion — its highest level since January 2009. That could help to reignite complaints about Chinese currency controls and demands for Beijing to allow its yuan to rise in value. Other indicators also show Chinese demand weakening. An industry group reported Monday that auto sales in China, the

biggest market by number of vehicles sold, fell 11.9 percent in July from the previous month to 1.2 million units. China’s export growth has remained strong despite uncertainty about the health of the global economy. But analysts expect demand for Chinese goods to drop as Europe’s debt crisis hurts spending by the continent’s consumers. Exports to Europe, China’s biggest trading partner, rose 36.4 percent to $28.7 billion despite the debt crisis and the Chinese trade surplus with the European Union soared 56.3 percent to $13.6 billion. Exports to the United States climbed 29.4 percent to $27.4 billion and the Chinese trade surplus swelled 39.5 percent to $19.4 billion. “Although the global economy is limping, the export data told us the Western world’s economy is still quite stable,” said economist Hu Xiaoyue of Shanghai Securities.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Worker productivity dropped this spring for the first time in more than a year, a sign that companies may need to step up hiring if they hope to grow. Productivity declined at an annual rate of 0.9 percent in the Aprilto-June quarter after posting large gains throughout 2009, the Labor Department said Tuesday. Unit labor costs edged up 0.2 percent in the second quarter, the first increase since the spring of 2009. Output of U.S. workers is the key ingredient to boosting living standards. It allows companies to pay workers more because of the increased production without being forced to raise the cost of their goods, which sparks inflation. In most cases a slip in productivity would be a troubling sign for the economy. But some analysts believe a short-term drop is needed to boost the recovery. That’s because it could be a signal that employers can no longer squeeze extra output out of leaner staffs.

Inventories rise, sales drop WASHINGTON (AP) — Inventories at the wholesale level edged up slightly in June but sales fell by the largest amount in 15 months. Wholesale inventories rose 0.1 percent in June, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. Sales fell 0.7 percent. It marked the second straight drop in sales, providing further evidence that the economy was slowing in the spring. Businesses helped drive the early stages of the recovery last year by building up their stocks after slashing them during the recession. The worry is that if consumer demand falters, business could cut back on their inventory restocking. That could deal a blow to manufacturing production, which has been one of the strongest sectors during the economic recovery.

Netflix to stream Paramount, Lionsgate films NEW YORK (AP) — Netflix Inc. has reached a multiyear agreement to stream movies from Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM online starting Sept. 1. It’s a major move as Netflix looks to cater to people who want to watch movies instantly. Terms weren’t disclosed. Epix is a joint venture be-

tween Viacom Inc., its Paramount Pictures unit, MetroGoldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. Epix will make the movies, including new releases, available to Netflix 90 days after they premiere on Epix’ premium pay TV channel and on-demand.

Epix holds pay TV rights to movies from its partners’ libraries, and the deal means Netflix can add many more popular movies from major studios. Netflix is trying to migrate its customers from ordering DVDs by mail to accessing them online, partly to save postage costs.

A BlackBerry user displays a text message sent by his service provider notifying him of the suspension of services at a mobile shop in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Crackdown sparks debate on information freedom DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The militants who carried out the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, India, used mobile phones and other handheld gadgets to coordinate an assault that left 166 dead. Cell phones with video cameras helped bring the world the iconic footage of a young Iranian woman dying of a gunshot wound amid the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Green Revolutionâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; images spread rapidly on websites the government tried feverishly to block. Now the use of new, sophisticated technologies is raising alarm in the Arab worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two biggest economies. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have threatened to cut off popular BlackBerry services unless they wring out concessions that would almost certainly give them greater access to user information. The governments cite se-

curity threats. The U.S. says those concerns are legitimate. But critics say those fears also provide a convenient justification to further tighten controls on the flow of information they believe could stir opposition or morally corrupt their societies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a medium, unlike Facebook or Internet chat rooms, that is very difficult to monitor,â&#x20AC;? said Christopher Davidson, a Gulf expert at Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University of Durham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Security concerns, including terror threats, are sadly being used to mask this clampdown, and the international community is buying this explanation.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tug-of-war over data and security that finds echoes in Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s censorship fight with Google Inc., and highlights the way rapid technological change is sowing unease in countries where the unfettered flow of digital information is seen as a threat.

Like China and Iran, the UAE and Saudi Arabia actively police the Internet, blocking access to pornography and material deemed politically or morally objectionable. Neither Gulf state allows organized political opposition or direct elections of national representatives. Freedom of expression is limited. In the Gulf, Blackberrys are used both by busy professionals and consumers who see them as a way to avoid unwanted attention from authorities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if the consumer version of the service lacks the level of protection afforded to corporate clients. Saudi youth, segregated by sex in public, use the gadgets to flirt covertly. And Emirati users have received messages urging a boycott of gas stations to protest price hikes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a call that conflicts with rules against unauthorized demonstrations.

FDIC takes step toward cutting use of ratings WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Federal regulators have taken a first step toward eliminating the use of credit ratings in rules for banks, under a mandate of the new financial overhaul law. The board of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. voted Tuesday to take public comment on alternatives to relying on credit rating agencies to assess the risk of investments. The landmark law enacted last month calls for reducing the influence of the three big rating agencies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Investors Service, Standard &

Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Fitch Ratings. The agencies were discredited in the financial crisis for giving high ratings to risky mortgage securities. The FDIC is expected to follow with a proposed new rule by the agency and eventually adopt the changes. The process could take months. As big a problem as reliance on credit ratings became in the financial crisis, â&#x20AC;&#x153;finding an alternative is going to be very, very difficult,â&#x20AC;? FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said before the 5-0 vote at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board meeting.

Jaret Seiberg, an analyst with Concept Capital in Washington, said the changes pose a problem for the banking industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The simple fact is that any replacement system will be more expensive and more cumbersome,â&#x20AC;? Seiberg wrote in a research note. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is why we expect regulators will drag out this process. We believe regulators appreciate the high risk for unintended consequences and will want to solicit multiple rounds of public comment before adopting a final course of action.â&#x20AC;?

India protests visa fee proposal MUMBAI, India (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; India is protesting a bill in the U.S. Congress that would increase visa fees for foreign workers in the U.S. as discriminating against Indian companies. The legislation would raise fees for H1B and L1 visas, which outsourcing companies use to send workers to the U.S. for project work. The fee increases would only be levied on companies where over half of U.S.-based employees use work visas. The bill sponsored by Sen. Charles Schumer,

a Democrat from New York, passed in the Senate last week and in the U.S. House on Tuesday. President Barack Obama is expected to sign it into law. The money the fee increases would raise would be used to pay for heightened security on the U.S.-Mexico border. Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commerce Minister Anand Sharma said in his letter to Kirk that the bill would cost Indian companies over $200 million a year. He argued the bill unfairly targets Indian com-

panies because U.S. companies like IBM, Microsoft and Intel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which he says use more foreign-worker visas than Indian companies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would not be liable for the increased fees because a greater proportion of their workers are American. Sharma also said Indian software services companies pay over $1 billion each year to the U.S. government in the form of Social Security, â&#x20AC;&#x153;with no benefit or prospect of a refund,â&#x20AC;? an issue that has long irritated New Delhi.

Stimulus plans soften stock blow NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The stock market had a half-hearted comeback Tuesday after the Federal Reserve announced it would take small steps to stimulate the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average, down about 100 points before the Fed announced its plans, recovered to a loss of 54. The other major market indexes also bounced back from their lows. But investors were still cautious: The Dow was able to briefly show a gain, but fell back again as traders recognized that the Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moves, while welcome, would be small and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cure the economyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems. Losing stocks were ahead of advancers on the New York Stock Exchange by almost 3 to 1. And stocks considered safe bets in a weak economy, including health care and consumer products companies, were among the gainers. The Fed, in a statement issued after a one-day policy meeting, said it will use money from its investments in mortgage securities to buy government debt on a small scale. Because rates on bonds and other debt fall as their prices rise, the Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purchases should help send long term rates on mortgages and corporate debt slightly lower. And the Fed hopes, stimulate lending to consumers and businesses.

Ice island poses oil, shipping threat STOCKHOLM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An island of ice more than four times the size of Manhattan is drifting across the Arctic Ocean after breaking off from a glacier in Greenland. Potentially in the path of this unstoppable giant are oil platforms and shipping lanes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and any collision could do untold damage. In a worst case scenario, large chunks could reach the heavily trafficked waters where another Greenland iceberg sank the Titanic in 1912. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a summer of near biblical climatic havoc across the planet, with wildfires, heat and smog in Russia and killer floods in Asia. But the moment the Petermann

Bean salad

GARDENING

---

It’s a simple dish that’s simply good – and good for you BY JIM ROMANOFF FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

eans are somewhat of a nutritional miracle worker. Along with being an excellent source of protein, they’re packed with fiber and other plant-based nutrients. Plus, they’re extremely low in fat, can prolong the feeling of fullness after a meal, and can help control blood sugar levels. Many people are hesitant to cook with beans because they think of the dry ones, which can require soaking overnight and, depending on the variety, lengthy cooking on the stove. But canned beans are a convenient must-have for any healthy pantry. The good news is that unlike many other canned products, beans keep their nutrients during the canning process. Besides being nutritional dynamite, canned beans are available in numerous shapes, sizes and flavors, making them a favorite among gourmet cooks. They can usually be found

A fall vegetable gardening presentation by the Guilford County Extension Speakers Bureau will be held at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 24 at High Point Neal F. Austin Public Library, 901 N. Main St. The presentation includes design and preparation, which vegetables will grow best and how to maintain a garden through harvest. It is free and open to the public. No registration is required. If special assistance is needed, contact Megan Joyce at least five business days before the scheduled event at 883-3646 or send e-mail to megan.joyce@ highpointnc.gov.

alongside the canned vegetables at the grocer, but be sure to check the ethnic aisle as well for some of the less common varieties. Always rinse and drain canned beans before using them to remove excess salt and indigestible sugars that are in the cloudy liquid. Because they’re so rich in protein, beans can replace some or all of the meat called for in many dishes. They also can be pureed (with seasonings) to make quick dips and spreads. Or simply add some to a salad for extra protein, flavor and texture. This summery salad stars black-eyed peas, a bean named for a prominent black spot. Chockfull of fresh tomatoes and parsley, and tossed in a lemony dressing, the dish is reminiscent of a MiddleEastern tabbouleh salad, but much more satisfying and nutritionally balanced. Served as a main or side dish, black-eyed peas, tomato and parsley salad is a deliciously cool addition to any summer meal.

Black-Eyed Peas, Tomato and Parsley Salad Start to finish: 1 hour 10 minutes (10 minutes active) Servings: 6 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Two 15 1/2-ounce cans black-eyed peas 1 small red onion, quartered and thinly sliced 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved 3/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus a few sprigs for garnish In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, garlic, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. While whisking, drizzle in the olive oil. Whisk until completely emulsified. Add the black-eyed peas and red onion. Toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. In a large serving bowl, combine the tomatoes, parsley and marinated black-eyed pea mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve garnished with parsley sprigs.

Black-Eyed Peas, Tomato and Parsley Salad, hearty enough for a main dish or served as a side, is packed with fiber, protein and other plant-based nutrients.

Liven up your fruit salad with ... meat? BY J.M. HIRSCH AP FOOD EDITOR

Bacon adds nice savory crunch to watermelon salad.

ollowing the axiom that bacon makes everything better, I decided to use it to jazz up that staple of summer celebrations – fruit salad. I started with a basic fruit salad of watermelon, strawberries and diced apples. I then dressed that with a simple vinaigrette of olive oil and lemon juice spiked with salt and pepper. You could stop right there, because a splash of acid (the vinaigrette) does wonders to bring out the sweetness of fruit. Crumbled bacon and slivered fresh basil are used to top the salad, offering a savory, salty and (in the case of the basil) peppery contrast to the fruit. The bacon also adds a pleasant crunch. The salad also can be prepped in advance; just leave out the basil and bacon, adding just before serving. Finally, if you simply can’t accept bacon in a fruit salad (and refuse to accept the universal truth of bacon’s ability to improve all things), substitute crumbled Parmesan (which is governed by a similar natural law) or feta cheese, which will add a similar salty, savory flavor.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Watermelon Salad with Basil and Bacon Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 6 6 cups cut watermelon 2 cups quartered fresh strawberries 2 green apples, cored and diced 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 6 slices cooked and cooled bacon, crumbled 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil In a large bowl, combine the watermelon, strawberries and apples. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle the mixture over the fruit, then gently toss to combine. Scatter the bacon and basil over the salad. Serve immediately at room temperature.

Uncertainty will surround your financial situation but, if you are moderate in your spending, you will come out ahead. Sudden, unexpected change will lead to better days ahead if you accept the inevitable and make the most of whatever comes your way. Your numbers are 7, 15, 23, 28, 33, 35, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need time to think about how you want to handle your current relationships. Taking a day off will help you gain greater perspective regarding your options and your future. Don’t feel you have to react to the changes around you. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone may be feeding you false information about an organization or volunteer service that is looking for recruits. Ask questions and don’t donate to any group you know little about. Someone you care about will have a surprise for you. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be patient when dealing with affairs of the home. The less critical you are, the easier it will be to get things done the way you want. Love is on the rise. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t waste time or give in to demands being put on you by people wanting to dump responsibilities in your lap. Don’t get angry or procrastinate. Instead, get work out of the way so you can spend time with friends or a relaxing pastime. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): People, places and pastimes should all come into play. Love, intrigue and serious commitment all have the potential to lead you in a positive direction. You will learn from traveling or communicating with others. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Things may be difficult to resolve with regard to joint financial ventures and settlements. Collect or repay old debts. A physical challenge will require mind over matter. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Make a commitment to follow through with your longtime plans or fulfill a promise you have made. Your creativity is skyrocketing. The experiences you create now will lead to greater rewards, friendships and knowledge. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A fresh look at an old project will bring it back to life. This time, present what you have and someone will be intrigued with its potential. A partnership is likely to develop, adding greater diversity to the final product. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your masterful way of presenting what you have to offer will take everyone by storm. Love is apparent, making this an ideal time to enhance your current relationship or find someone compatible. Avoid emotional conversations that might jeopardize your position. ★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t present or discuss your plans just yet. You will be faced with controversy and opposition. Focus on making money, settling deals and taking care of any health issues you face. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have to take care of loose ends. Pay off debts or collect what’s owed you. Deals, contracts, settlements and health issues can all be taken care of satisfactorily. A friend from the past will enhance your future emotionally and financially. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take control of whatever situation you face and make the changes required quickly. A partnership will benefit you in more ways than you can imagine. Trust in what others offer and you will move ahead fast. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

You’re kibitzing today’s deal, and North-South get to four hearts. Declarer wins the first spade in dummy, picks up the trumps with a finesse, and leads the jack of diamonds, winning. “Didn’t bid enough,” South sighs. He finesses in diamonds again and runs the diamonds to pitch his clubs. Making seven. Kibitzers have their functions, and South appeals to you. He asks if he should have been at slam. How do you reply?

CLUB SHIFT As South played, NorthSouth would have been too high at game if the position of the red-suit kings had been reversed. At Trick Two South should lead a trump to his ace. He doesn’t care if East wins a trick with the king but doesn’t want West to get in for a club shift. If both defenders play low, South finesses in diamonds. If East won, he couldn’t lead a club effectively. South would win the spade return and run the diamonds. He would go down if West had the guarded king of trumps plus fewer than three diamonds; but then South could never succeed.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 6 H A Q 10 9 6 2 D J 6 C 10 4 3. You open two hearts (a weak two-bid showing an average hand with a six-card suit). Your partner bids two spades, and the opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Almost all expert pairs treat a newsuit response to a weak two-bid as forcing. Responder would have little reason to bid a new suit with a poor hand. Since your spade support is rather better than partner can expect, raise to three spades. East 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.
