Analysts debate Iraq’s impact on elections BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – If a political prognosticator had argued during the height of the public debate over the Iraq war four years ago that the military conflict would become an afterthought in the 2010 elections, the analyst would have been dismissed as naive or inept. Welcome to the naive, inept world of this year’s midterm elections. The devastating, pervasive impact of the recession has left Iraq on the back burner heading into the fall general elections. The campaign profile of the Iraq war hasn’t increased substantially, even though President Barack Obama plans to follow through on a pledge and end combat operations by the conclusion of this month as part of a U.S. troop withdrawal. A pair of area political analysts say the erosion of the Iraq war as a campaign issue is remarkable given its place in the public realm four years ago.

This July 13 photo shows U.S. Army soldiers from 2nd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, aboard a C-17 aircraft as they begin their journey back to the U.S. In 2006 the Iraq war was named the top issue facing the nation, according to a survey of North Carolinians done by the Elon University Poll. This year, the Iraq war doesn’t even make it into the top five issues among state residents in the Elon polls, said polling Assistant Director Mileah Kromer. “Iraq has so receded from

the general public consciousness at this point in time, as surprising as that may be, that news regarding the Iraq war probably won’t have much effect on the midterms, especially in comparison with news regarding economic growth and jobs,” said John Dinan, professor of political science at Wake Forest University.

If a military conflict does become a campaign issue leading into the Nov. 2 general election, it’s more likely to be the war in Afghanistan and concerns about the direction of that war, Dinan said. The economy and jobs top the list of concerns among voters heading into the midterm elections, said Martin Kifer, director of the High Point University Survey Research Center and an assistant professor of political science. Surveys done through the research center at HPU, as well as state and national polls, show “Iraq isn’t the first thing on people’s minds,” Kifer said. “If you look at what people thought were the most important problems in 2006 and what’s most important in 2010, there’s a big shift. People are looking at economic issues closer to home. It’s tougher when you’ve got a friend, neighbor or member of your family out of work to be focused on issues like Iraq,” Kifer said.

WAR POLL

–

A Gallup poll released earlier this month shows that Americans are at odds about how the Iraq war is progressing as the administration of President Barack Obama prepares to draw down U.S. troops to the 50,000 level, end active combat operations and fully hand over combat responsibility to the Iraqi military and security establishment. The most recent Gallup poll shows that 50 percent of Americans say the Iraq war is going very well to moderately well, with 48 percent responding that the war is going very badly to moderately badly. American attitudes have shifted in dramatic directions since the war began in early 2003. Initially, when the invasion happened, 86 percent supported the war while 13 percent opposed. By the start of 2007, after thousands of American deaths and no evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq under former dictator Saddam Hussein, 71 percent opposed the war while 28 percent approved it.

School board OKs budget with no raises BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials approved a budget Tuesday without raises for hourly workers. Despite an effort by several members, the Guilford County Board of Education voted 7-2 to approve a 2011 budget without proposed 1 percent raises. The budget total was not immediately available. The district has been operating with an interim budget since July 1. Superintendent Mo Green offered a 2011 budget totaling $650 million. Board members Darlene Garrett and Paul Daniels opposed the revised budget. Garrett led efforts to include raises for hourly workers.

Federal money could help save local school jobs. 2A The workers, who “live paycheckto-paycheck,” had not had a raise in five years, she said. Several hourly workers lobbied the board this summer for pay raises. Hourly workers include bus drivers, custodians and lunchroom workers. Garrett suggested using money from vacant position salaries and staff transportation budgets. Although hourly workers did not receive a raise for the year ending June 30, Sharon Ozment, district chief financial officer, showed that the workers had received either

bonuses or raises in the previous four years. The proposed raise would cost $1.2 million and offer monthly increases of as little as $12 for 12-month hourly employees, Ozment said. Fearing a major budget shortfall next year, board member Garth Hebert of High Point had spoken out about the proposed raises, saying last month that some “people will be lucky to have jobs next year.” Here is how the board balanced the 2011 operating budget to cover a $9.4 million gap: • Withholding $3.7 million that school principals use to pay for tutors and teachers for a potential state reversion to cover a possible state Medicaid shortfall. • Using reserves totaling $4 million.

Ballot printer helped pay for election directors event

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Spelling buzz The spelling of “school” on Drake Road at Southern Guilford High School created a buzz after being painted this week. Needless to say the error was soon corrected by the contractor.

RALEIGH (AP) – The owner of North Carolina’s top ballot printer says he probably won’t give again to an association of county election directors that wanted financial help for a social event. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Wednesday that Printelect and Election Systems & Software paid $5,000 to help sponsor a 2009 party by the North Carolina Association of Directors of Elections in Manteo.

Bias claims are new diversion for NC executions RALEIGH (AP) – Two decades after Blanche Moore was sent to death row for the fatal poisoning of a former boyfriend, her pathway to the execution chamber has been diverted again. The 77-year-old white woman is among dozens of capital convicts in North Carolina this week who have alleged racial bias in sentencing. Some observers think the argument could upend the state’s system of capital punishment – a program that already faces a series of other lingering questions, including the use of lethal injection, the role of medical personnel and a century-old law on who crafts the execution protocol. North Carolina hasn’t executed a convict since 2006. It’s not clear when, or if, another will happen as officials try to untangle what former Gov. Mike Easley once described as a “Gordian knot.” “You can try to untie it, but it’s seemingly impossible,” said Stephen Dear, executive director of People of Faith Against the Death Penalty. “You can never make (the death penalty) perfect.”

Opponents of the death penalty have successfully worked for years to stall executions. A debate over the state’s lethal injection procedure – specifically what role a doctor should have – first brought capital punishment to a halt in 2007 when the North Carolina Medical Board threatened to discipline any doctor who “engages in any verbal or physical activity ... that facilitates the execution.” To overcome that threat, state officials tried to amend the execution protocol to say that a nurse and a medical technician – not a doctor – would monitor the inmate’s vital signs. But a judge later determined that the Council of State must approve those changes. Officials have since approved changes and the Supreme Court ruled that the medical board overstepped its authority. Ken Rose, a staff attorney at the nonprofit Center for Death Penalty Litigation, believes two issues are still blocking executions. Lawyers have argued before the courts that officials did not allow proper public input before changing the state’s execution protocol. They are also

raising questions about the constitutionality of lethal injection — an argument raised in other states as experts question whether convicts can be executed without suffering pain. The office of North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said Wednesday that 135 of the state’s 159 death row convicts have filed claims under the new Racial Justice Act and that more could be added to the list as Cooper’s office gets notice. That law allows them to argue that racial bias influenced their sentencing. Republican state Sen. Phil Berger said he believes the law was designed to extend the state’s unofficial moratorium on the death penalty. “As a practical matter, the death penalty does not exist in North Carolina at this time,” he said. Chrissy Pearson, a spokeswoman for Gov. Beverly Perdue, said the governor still supports the death penalty but that she wants to make sure it is not applied unfairly or with bias. “She understands that this is an important enough issue that it needs to work its way through the court system,” Pearson said.

Thousands of fish die in Lake Norman CHARLOTTE (AP) – Thousands of fish have died in North Carolina’s largest manmade lake. The Charlotte Observer reports Wednesday that 7,000 striped bass have been found floating on Lake Norman since July.

It is the third time in seven years the game fish have died en masse in the lake. About 300 stripers died last summer, while 3,000 died in 2004. Fish biologists suspect the summer heat, a pow-

Village One and Two apartments are located. The current facility has 69 beds but was bought by High Point University last fall and will be used for student housing. Officials said those who are living in the current Wesleyan Arms facility will have the option to relocate to the new facility in the spring. “We’ve always been licensed for 90 beds, but there was no reasonable way to enlarge a 40-yearold building for that,” said Tom Higgins, CEO of Providence Place, a senior adult ministry outreach of First Wesleyan Church of High Point. “We always knew it would have to be in a new setting.” Wesleyan Homes, a government-subsidized apartment complex at 900 Eastchester Drive, also was bought by the university, but a replacement facility will not be built. Instead, residents were given the last year to relocate.

The design of the new building is the result of two years’ worth of research, according to a press release from Providence Place. Higgins said the Alzheimer’s unit is unique in that it is an assisted living facility rather than a skilled nursing facility. “It used to be that dementia residents were housed in those skilled nursing facilities, but research shows that assisted living is better for them,” he said. “Technology is also going to play a great role in making sure they can move around comfortably while remaining safe in our walls.” He said building the new facility in current economic conditions is “a true blessing.” “We are getting to continue this 40-year ministry outreach of our church,” Higgins said. “We are very proud of that.”

Man accused of beating dog to settle grudge MADISON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorities have charged a North Carolina man with felony animal cruelty for beating a dog to death with a baseball bat apparently because he was upset with another man. Rockingham County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office spokesman Dean Venable said Wednesday that when Lonnie Florence returned to her home in Madison after a medical appointment, her house had been ransacked and the dog had been killed and left on its dog run. Two baseball bats were found near the dog. Officials said 30-yearold Charley Joe Simmons was upset with Milton Florence, who lives with his mother. They said Simmons went to the house to kill the dog, and broke inside to find a weapon.

Prosecutor checks death cases involving SBI lab RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A prosecutor plans to scour all past homicide cases in his district for questionable work by the State Bureau of Investigationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crime lab. Union County District Attorney John Snyder estimated his office would have to double-check 100 to 200 cases, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Wednesday. Attorney General Roy Cooper, who oversees the SBI, last month suspended the work of the six agents who analyze bloodstain patterns. Cooper asked the two former assistant directors with the Federal Bureau of Investigation who are investigating the lab to review cases involving the program. Snyder said the labâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work should be as on par with the university and corporate labs that have made North Carolina a leader in medicine and biotechnology.

Jury recommends 14 years for al-Qaida cook GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Guantanamo jury recommended a 14-year sentence Wednesday for an al-Qaida cook, though he could be released much sooner under a plea bargain that will limit the time he spends in prison. Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al-Qosi of Sudan pleaded guilty last month to supporting terrorism, making him only the fourth Guantanamo detainee to be convicted since the prison, which has held nearly 800 men, was opened in 2002.

UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer deaths dropped most in Europe LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The rate at which women died from breast cancer dropped faster in Britain than in any other major European country during the last two decades, according to new research. In previous studies, Britain has often ranked last among Western Europe for cancer survival rates. The U.K. does not spend as much money on new cancer drugs or other treatments as other countries including France and Germany.

The deployment of the S-300s drew immediate protest from Georgia.

The countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already anemic economy is expected to weaken, increasing the poverty that is a factor in the militancy wracking the country. One of the hardest hit regions is the northwest, the heartland of the Pakistan Taliban and other insurgent groups. Over the last two years, the army has carried out several offensives against militants there.

Doctors: Superbug gene could spread widely LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; People traveling to India for medical procedures have brought back to Britain a new gene that allows any bacteria to become a superbug, and scientists are warning this type of drug resistance could soon appear worldwide. The new superbug gene is being increasingly spotted in Britain and elsewhere. Experts warn the booming medical tourism industries in India and Pakistan could fuel a surge in antibiotic resistance, as patients import dangerous bugs to their home countries.

FINAL MOMENTS Sole survivor details attack on aid workers in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The first sign of danger was the crackle of gunfire over their heads. Ten gunmen, their faces covered, rushed toward terrified humanitarian workers and began shouting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Satellite! Satellite!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a demand to surrender their phones. Moments later, 10 of them lay dead, including two women hiding in the back seat of a car the attackers hit with a grenade, according to an Afghan official familiar with the account the sole survivor gave police. It is the first detailed narrative of the slaying of six Americans, two Afghans, one German and a Briton on Aug. 5 in remote northern Afghanistan. They were ambushed and shot Aug. 5 after journeying about

100 miles through the Hindu Kush mountains, giving eye and other medical care to impoverished villagers. Afghan and U.S. investigators spent at least four hours this week questioning the survivor, a 24-year-old father of three named Safiullah. He was employed as a driver for International Assistance Mission, a nonprofit Christian organization that has worked in Afghanistan since 1966. Safiullah, who like many Afghans uses only one name, told investigators that the killings occurred around 7:30 a.m. or 8:30 a.m., according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose details of the ongoing investigation. The ten civilian volunteers who were killed have been identified as Glen D. Lapp, Tom Little, Dan Terry, Thomas Grams, Cheryl Beckett, Brian Carderelli, Karen Woo, Daniela Beyer, Mahram Ali, and Jawed.

Nicholas said the company is â&#x20AC;&#x153;working through the detailed planning.â&#x20AC;? BP has run into opposition to its plans for drilling after the Gulf of Mexico spill.

DRUG OVERDOSE: Police suspect internal injuries for singer. 6D

Weather delays final oil well â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;killâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bad weather has delayed into early next week a massive effort to permanently kill BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a costly operation the government now says it is not certain how best to carry out.

Still, retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said the final â&#x20AC;&#x153;killâ&#x20AC;? of the well should be done early next week, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done at all. Allen, the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point man for the spill, said Wednesday that he hopes to turn over his high-profile job to some-

one else by late September or early October, another sign that the officials are beginning to scale back their response to one of the worst offshore oil spills in history. He said he can leave when there is no chance that more oil will leak into the Gulf.

A temporary cap has kept oil from spewing for a month, and crews are finishing a relief well in preparation for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bottom kill,â&#x20AC;? which involves pumping mud and cement from a well deep underground for a permanent seal.

Repo rage: Man surrenders after 11-hour standoff

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jurors in the corruption trial of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich have sent a note to the judge suggesting they may be deadlocked on some counts. The note read in court on Wednesday says the jury is asking for guidance if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach a unanimous decision on â&#x20AC;&#x153;any given count.â&#x20AC;? They say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made â&#x20AC;&#x153;a reasonable attemptâ&#x20AC;? and did so without rancor. Judge James B.

TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A California man suspected of ramming a tow truck that was repossessing his car has surrendered peacefully after an 11-hour standoff. Orange County sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman Jim Amormino says 46-year-old Bernard Veldhuizen walked out of his home in Tustin about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and was arrested for felony vandalism. Amormino says Veldhuizen used a rented U-

Haul truck to ram the tow truck and then ran into his house around 2:45 a.m. During a standoff with a SWAT team, the barechested man yelled out a window and threw items onto his lawn. Amormino says financial problems may have led to the confrontation. He says Veldhuizen was unemployed, was being evicted, and was arrested last month on suspicion of making terrorist threats and brandishing a gun.

American citizens have our IDs checked every day I was just wondering why the immigrants are jumping up and down about the new laws that have been passed. In the good old USA, we legal citizens have to have our ID checked every time we cash a check, get a hotel room, get our license, get a loan, mortgage, buy a car, anything we do. Are these people better than the citizens of our country? If they are not happy here, let them go back to their good old drug-torn country of Mexico where they don’t even give them the time of day, let alone help them. If they are here illegally, let them go back and come here legally instead of coming here for a free handout and taking our jobs. The one that hires them should be put in jail, too. It is time we took our country back from them and our dumb politicians we have in office who only care about the votes they get so they can stay in office. It’s time all states should pass these laws to protect the people of our good old USA (or it once was) before the leaders have just about destroyed what it was and turned their backs on God

Sports ‘Hit and Run’ started my day with a smile My only reason for this letter is to call attention to readers who may read the editorials but may not normally read the “Hit and Run” column on the Sports page. Sports Editor Mark McKinney recently wrote a beautiful sentiment that struck a chord with me that I felt would with others. He was writing about being in attendance in our nation’s capital at a Nationals-Phillies game, and this is the quote: “Our seats in the third deck behind home plate gave us a breathtaking view of the top of the Capitol building. I probably spent

as much time admiring that sight as I did watching the game. The thought occurred to me that while I may not always like the occupants of Congress or the White House or the Supreme Court, etc., I always love America.” A positive thought to keep in mind amid our frustrations and grumblings. I thank McKinney for starting my day off with a grateful smile. BONNIE WHITE High Point

There are still some good people in the world One recent morning, my husband and I were driving in line to get food at a barbecue restaurant in Thomasville. When we got to the window to pay, the lady informed us that our bill had been paid by the occupants in the vehicle ahead of us. Needless to say, we were ecstatic! In turn, we

paid for the occupants in the car behind us. We hope this continued for many people. We hope we brought a blessing to someone’s life and also we hope they in turn passed the blessing on to someone else and so on. As we all know, we hear so much about so many bad things going on in the world. Thank God for the person or persons who gave us that blessing. Pass it on! MIRA MOORE Thomasville

The High Point Enterprise is committed to this community ... and always will serve it by being an intensely local newspaper of excellent quality every day.

Let’s go straight to the point on judging others

with women plaintiffs, Jewish judges to abandon cases with Jewish defendants, white judges to leave cases tried by white lawyers. Nor is that remote and abysmal possibility what’s most offensive here. No, what truly OPINION rankles is the implicit suggestion that only straight people Leonard can fairly and dispassionately Pitts judge when and if gay men ■■■ and lesbians should be granted equality – and that straights have an unquestioned right to make that judgment. It’s a theme that recurs whenever one group seeks freedom and another bars the way. Whether we are talking men and women, whites and blacks, or immigrants and the native born, there is always this hubristic notion that one group has the God-given right to set the terms and timetable by which another will be free. Consider what John Wayne said in 1971 when Playboy asked him about discrimination against blacks. “I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility,” he told the magazine. “I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.” In other words, when black folk passed muster with the Duke, they could be given the rights the Constitution said were theirs from birth. You hear echoes of that paternalism in Maggie Gallagher’s suggestion that gay and lesbian freedom are subject to the will of “the American people.” But freedom that can be taken at a whim is not freedom at all. And to whatever degree they believe themselves entitled to that whim, the American people deceive themselves and dishonor their heritage. Gay men and lesbians want to be free. And it’s the rest of us who have no right to judge. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail him at lpitts@miamiherald.com.

e had no right to judge. That, in a nutshell, is the gist of last week’s uproar over a ruling by Vaughn Walker. Walker is the federal judge, originally appointed by Ronald Reagan and generally regarded, according to the Associated Press, as “a conservative with libertarian leanings,” who struck down Proposition 8, California’s ban on same-sex marriage. It turns out there is a rumor – never confirmed or denied – that Walker himself is gay. That has launched proponents of the ban into a full-fledged tizzy. Maggie Gallagher, chairwoman of the National Organization for Marriage, blasted him as “an openly gay federal judge ... substituting his views for those of the American people and our Founding Fathers ...” Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association called for Walker’s impeachment and said the jurist should have recused himself because “his own personal sexual proclivities utterly compromised his ability to make an impartial ruling.” Matt Barber of something called the Liberty Counsel accused Walker of “extreme bias in favor of his similarly situated homosexual activist plaintiffs.” And so on. According to this line of “thinking,” a homosexual may competently judge a traffic dispute or an assault charge, but not anything having to do with, well ... being a homosexual. For that, you need a judge who is as straight as the crease in George Will’s pants. But there is a hole in that “logic” wide enough to dance the Rockettes through. Every individual is a compilation of culture, experience, opinions, emotions and personal biases, so every judge brings baggage to the table. But we trust a judge to put that baggage aside and decide an issue on its merits. You don’t ask him to recuse himself unless something he has said or done suggests a conflict of interest. Walker’s critics judge him biased not because of something he’s said or done, but because of something he supposedly “is.” By that logic, we must consider every heterosexual judge who ever ruled “against” gay rights as biased. Indeed, that reasoning would require women judges to recuse themselves from cases

OUR VIEW

t might take a team of at least 10 highway engineers to make us fully understand the N.C. Department of Transportation’s new planning process and project prioritization procedures. But at first blush, this new way of determining how to spend major amounts of tax dollars on highway improvements seems to be a much improved system. In the past, state and local politics has played a huge role in determining where highway improvements money would be spent. The Enterprise has for years called for highway funding decisions to be based on a statewide assessment of needs and priorities. Now, because of reforms that were ushered in by Gov. Bev Perdue, the DOT will use more data from objective evaluations to score highway projects across the state in regard to three primary goals – safety, mobility and infrastructure health. Scores will be compiled from “quantitative points” awarded to proposals based on data such as critical crash rate, crash severity, highway volume/capacity, average daily trips and pavement condition rating. The awarding of “qualitative points” still will allow recommendations of local and regional transportation boards to figure into the scoring. Also, “multimodal points” will be awarded if a highway project includes elements such as light rail right of way, transportation terminals, bicycle lanes, sidewalks and bus shelters. Then, funding decisions will be made based on those priority lists instead of the whims of those with political influence. Or at least that’s the way the new system is supposed to work. We expect there may be the need to tweak the new procedures somewhat in the future. We expect some folks in less populated, lower-traffic areas accustomed to getting “their share” of highway funding may squawk when objective evaluation results in less funding there and more in areas of greater need. But state officials must resist the potential for revisions that would make the process less driven by objective data and prioritization. And certainly the public must reject any attempt to inject political influence into the process.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conquer educationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer backslide

TWO VIEWS

---

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for self-examination

he nastiness of Washington is an excellent example of how civility and respect have lost their way in our nation. With that truism in mind, I believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for a little self-examination. For this author to continue to single out the Democratic Party over issues such as the health debate is a bit disingenuous, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you think? They did not start the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death Panelâ&#x20AC;? nonsense, for example. I think we all do our credibility and arguments a disservice when we continue to be partisan at a time when both sides of the aisle are mired in name-calling, prevaricating and pursuits that do not have the interests of the people they represent at heart. Many of the Tea Party folks are fed up with all aspects of Washington, as we all can understand and embrace in many respects. Historically, it started during the Clinton administration, continued full force under Bush, and not surprisingly, is part and parcel of Obama now. This is the reason

for my daily blog. It is written in a dedicated way, so that we can elevate and make our elected officials accountable to OPINION we the people and not just to Armstrong themselves. I Williams strive to do this without the name calling, self righteousness, and a belief as if we have some monopoly on the only truth that will save us. Yet even the Right Side misses the mark from time to time. The many virtues we hold dear have been ignored for years. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in serious trouble. We are all responsible in making these politicians understand daily that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the true owners of government; they are merely caretakers, entrusted by us to serve the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest. When this writer and others castigate the Democrats only, we make it seem like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

----

party problem rather than an endemic aspect of Washington culture. Republicans would do well to keep such things in mind should they secure the House come November. If we are to save â&#x20AC;&#x153;our America,â&#x20AC;? we must put aside partisanship and first save ourselves from these bankrupt politicians. As political pundits generally and blog writers specifically, I and my colleagues should feel an even greater sense of responsibility to elevate our rhetoric and assess political situations in Washington more judiciously. We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always get it right, but if the tone in this town is to change, it must begin somewhere. And it might as well begin with me.

he Aug. 2 edition of Time magazine caught my eye recently with the cover story being headlined â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Case Against Summer Vacation.â&#x20AC;? Being in the midst of that very phenomena, I was curious to see what slant Time writers would take on the centuries-old practice of letting out school for the summer when few children these days are needed to work on the farm. I found that there is a summer learning expert, Harris Cooper, at nearby Duke University, who has concluded that, on average, all students lose about a month of progress in math skills each summer, while low-income students slip as many as three months in reading comprehension. Whether you call it â&#x20AC;&#x153;summer learning lossâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;the summer backslide,â&#x20AC;? this article concluded that summer vacation is among the most destructive and least acknowledged causes of achievement gaps in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schools. Why is there more falling behind over the summer for lowincome students? For many of them, summer is a season of boredom, inactivity and isolation. Without resources, they may languish on street corners or in front of TV screens while children with access to high-quality experiences keep exercising their minds and bodies with camps, vacations, in museums and libraries and with enrichment classes. Ron Fairchild, CEO of a nonprofit organization in Baltimore called the National Summer Learning Association, puts it this way: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect that athletes and musicians would see their performance suffer without practice. Well, the same is true of students.â&#x20AC;? And experts believe that a majority of the 30 million American students who qualify for free or reduced-price school lunches do not attend any kind of summer enrichment

programs. That is why I have been so excited to hear about local programs designed to find fun ways to infuse learnLESSONS ing into summer LEARNED activities. Camp Ferndale was Paula featured a few Williams weeks ago in â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; this newspaper about our local middle school, and WinstonSalem schools in conjunction with United Way are hosting two middle-school opportunities for summer enrichment, as well. Exciting programs are springing up around the country to provide kids with hands-on learning experiences that summer educators call â&#x20AC;&#x153;stealth learning.â&#x20AC;? Example: take kids fishing and have them weigh and measure their catch to see who catches the biggest fish. Not only are they having fun, but they are doing a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of math at the same time. Did you know that NASA runs one of the largest summer enrichment programs in the country? The Time article said that this is not rocket science, however. It is about local experiments, informal innovations, and seat-of-thepants efforts to get kids learning in fun and meaningful ways. For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about sharing the joy of reading so that a student wants to pick up a book on their own. I hope that our local organizations and our school system will continue to explore new and exciting ways to provide meaningful summer experiences for students who need it most.

Authorities charge Greensboro man with statutory rape BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – A Greensboro man faces sexual assault charges after an investigation by a multi-jurisdictional task force that handles computer-related crimes. Last month, an investigation was initiated by the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office after deputies received information that a 13-year-old girl had been the victim of statutory rape and other sexual offenses after being solicited online.

Sheriff’s office detectives developed probable cause for a search warrant for a Glenside Drive residence in Greensboro, which was served on July 28 with Guilford County Sheriff’s Office investigators. Once officers arrived at the home, they determined that sexual offenses had occurred at the address and arrested Christopher Eric Donaldson at the scene, according to the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office. Donaldson, 38, was charged with two counts of statutory rape and was booked into the Guilford

County Jail under a $50,000 bond, deputies said. The investigation, which is ongoing and may result in further charges in Guilford and Randolph counties, is being conducted by the Piedmont Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The task force is supported by a federal grant and is comprised of specially-trained personnel from several Triad county sheriff’s agencies. In an unrelated case, Guilford sheriff’s investigators were searching for a person who robbed the Handy Kwik Stop, 4109 Randle-

man Road, Greensboro, about 3:30 p.m. Monday. A suspect described as 6 feet, 1 inch tall, with a thin build, dark complexion, about 25 years old, wearing a black hoodie and baggy jeans, came into the store with a rifle and demanded money. After the clerk gave the robber money, he fled the scene in a white Chevrolet Impala with tinted windows. Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 641-3690 or Crimestoppers at 3731000.

Jeffrey A. Edwards was appointed chairman of the department of economics and finance in the School of Business and Economics at North Carolina A&T State University. He is a tenured associate professor of economics at A&T.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – With rising enrollment and a construction program under way, Guilford Technical Community College officials are making some parking and bus route changes. Parking is available in Lot N beside the parking lots near classroom buildings, and on the drive track. Free shuttle service is being offered from these lots. Bus passenger drop-off and pick-up is no longer available in front of Medlin Campus Center. Buses stop only in front of Koury Hospitality Center. Parking deck construction has caused some parking space changes and bus stopping points. Construction of the fivestory $12 million parking deck is scheduled to be completed by next spring to add 359 spaces. The parking deck is being built on the High Point Road side of the campus, near the Stuart B. Fountain Dental Science Building. A new street will be built from High Point Road directly in front of Medlin Campus Center and to the side of the parking deck. The new road will merge into what is now Montgomery Circle, which will be enlarged to help improve the traffic flow. The latest enrollment figures show 13,016 students plan to attend the college this fall. GTCC’s record enrollments were 13,520 for last fall and 13,594 for spring 2010. Enrollment is running at a 7.9 percent pace over registration for classes last fall, according to figures released by Alison Wiers, associate vice president of student learning and success. Wiers predicted earlier that enrollment will be more than 15,000 students this fall. The final day to register is Aug. 12 for classes beginning Aug. 16.

Federal funds could help district BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – It was too early for school officials to tell Tuesday while approving a 2011 budget how a $26 billion federal spending bill would help this school year. The bill is aimed at saving thousands of teaching and oth-

er government jobs. The extra funding should allow more than 160,000 teachers nationwide to keep their jobs. The state’s share could be as much as $298.5 million for spending on teaching and support staff, according to reports. “The bill suggests additional funding for the state and school districts,” Superintendent Mo

Green told the Guilford County Board of Education on Tuesday. The legislation also includes funds to retain firefighters and police officers, and gives states, including North Carolina, additional money for their hardpressed Medicaid programs. Congress delayed this summer passing a $16 billion boost in Medicaid assistance for the

states. Twenty-nine states, including North Carolina, included the Medicaid money in their budgets. North Carolina’s share is about $500 million. State leaders held open the possibility of imposing a 1 percent budget reversion to cover any missing allotments. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Families battling cancer find strength in each other

Dear Emmy: Taking a proactive stance is an excellent suggestion and one I am happy to pass along to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devastated.â&#x20AC;? Read on:

Dear Abby: With two cancer survivors in my family, I heartily ADVICE endorse your adDear vice. Even Abby when we â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; faced a 10 percent chance of survival, we worked, prayed, researched and talked about hopeful prospects. It helped us all in valuable ways. There were dark days, but love of family, attention to medical messages, prayer and forward thinking can make a huge difference in the healing process. This is a time for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devastatedâ&#x20AC;? to bond in new ways with her father. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Been There, Too Dear Abby: My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, too. She had one-fourth of her left lung removed. We thought it might be the end for her, but it certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. She lived for seven more years, and I cherished the extra time I had with her. I hope â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devastatedâ&#x20AC;? will treasure every second with her father now. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Barbara In New Mexico Dear Abby: As a father of two and grandfather of four, I know there is nothing more wonderful than being involved with oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progeny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devastatedâ&#x20AC;? should know that when her father comfort-

ed her, he was given the opportunity to do what a father loves to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; show love to his child. And believe me, to know he was needed was a comfort to him as well. She need not worry. She is right where she needs to be. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Papa In Hayward, Calif. Dear Abby: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devastatedâ&#x20AC;? should consider hospice if her father decides to stop treatment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a godsend and costs nothing. Most of all, she needs to let her father comfort her and to be her daddy for as long as possible. It will make him feel better. Let him know she loves him and will support any decision he makes. It is OK to cry, and to cry with him. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mary in Oklahoma Dear Abby: My brave, strong, loving father was killed instantly in a car accident. When I learned about it, I wished I had him to comfort me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devastatedâ&#x20AC;? is fortunate to still have time with her father. She should not feel guilty about her feelings; they are perfectly normal. She needs to be his daughter first, his second pair of ears throughout his treatment and his caregiver if needed. The strength will come when she needs it. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Still Missing My Dad DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

ear Abby: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devastated in Oklahomaâ&#x20AC;? (June 18) asked how she can be supportive of her father, who is battling lung cancer. I was in a similar situation 3 1/2 years ago when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood. It was terrifying witnessing the physical impact it had on my dad. I realized there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything I could do for his pain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was up to his doctors. But I figured out what I COULD do: I could raise money for cancer research. I joined the Leukemia and Lymphoma Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Team in Training and trained for an endurance bike ride while raising money for cancer. It was the greatest experience not only for me, but also for my dad, who was extremely touched by the number of donations. It gave him a morale boost. I would like to encourage â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devastatedâ&#x20AC;? to look for a similar program in her area. It may help her deal with the diagnosis, knowing sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helping current and future patients just like her dad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Devastatedâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be an athlete to sign up. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even own a bike when I started the journey! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Emmy In Albuquerque, N.M.

uestion: Does it harm the lawn to return grass clippings?

loss to a minimum and weed growth down. Grass clippings do not cause thatch to form in lawns if the lawn is mowed properly. Lawns should be 2-3 inches tall after mowing. Mow often so no more than an inch of grass is removed during each mowing.

Answer: Absolutely not. While you probably are not doing much mowing with the hot, dry weather we have been having, leaving the clippings is actually beneficial and may even help keep your grass a little greener during this time. Leaving clippings has been termed â&#x20AC;&#x153;grass cycling,â&#x20AC;? and it is a means of returning valuable nutrients into the lawn. Clippings are about 70 percent water and decompose quickly. While lying on the soil surface, they will also act just like a mulch keeping moisture

Cortisone overproduction causes lots of symptoms

ear Dr. Donohue: Do your readers a favor by telling them about Cushing’s syndrome. It took six years before I was diagnosed. The delay cost me my job and my fiance. I gained weight and had stretch marks all over. Doctors told me to lose weight by dieting and exercise. I did both, but continued to gain weight. Then my blood pressure rose. Finally, a doctor, to whom I owe my life, came up with the correct diagnosis. I had an operation, and my life has changed for the better. – P.A.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Cushing’s syndrome is an overproduction of cortisone. People are surprised that they make cortisone. They think of it as a medicine. Our adrenal glands, sitting above the kidneys, turn out this hormone, which is essential to life. At first, an overproduction of cortisone produces signs and symptoms that are quite subtle and go unrecognized. As time goes by, weight is gained, the face becomes round and red, the arms and legs remain thin, the chest and abdomen expand. The skin thins and is easily injured. Purple stretch marks appear. Menstrual irregularities occur. Women sprout facial hair. Muscles weaken, as do bones (osteoporosis). Blood sugar rises, and so does blood pressure. All of

this comes from having too much cortisone. The trouble can lie in HEALTH either of two places, Dr. Paul the pituDonohue itary gland ■■■ on the underside of the brain, or the adrenal glands (above the kidneys) that make the hormone. The pituitary gland produces a hormone that stimulates adrenal-gland production of cortisone. Tumors of the adrenal gland, independent of the pituitary gland, can rev up their production of cortisone on their own. Most cases come from a small pituitary-gland tumor whose hormone stimulates the adrenal glands. It’s treated by turning off cortisone production. Surgery is the answer to both causes of Cushing’s. With the pituitary gland, the approach can be through the nose or roof of the mouth to reach the pituitary gland and destroy the tumor. When the adrenal gland is the cause, surgery is more involved. Dear Dr. Donohue: My artificial sweetener has a warning saying it contains phenylalanine. Why? Is it a dangerous material? – K.S. Phenylalanine is an

amino acid, one of the bricks from which the body builds proteins. It is not a dangerous material. However, a few individuals are born without the ability to metabolize this amino acid. They have a disorder called phenylketonuria, PKU. High blood levels of phenylalanine and phenylketones damage the brain. Discovery soon after birth is important so that phenylalanine can be eliminated or severely limited in these babies’ diets. Because of this importance, in most countries, newborns are tested for PKU. If the diet isn’t changed, the baby suffers mental retardation. Brand names of this sweetener are NutraSweet and Equal. Dear Dr. Donohue: My daughter is four months pregnant. Her doctor told her she could gain around 25 pounds. That surprises me. I was told not to gain more than 15 pounds. Have things changed? – W.C. Today, the recommendations for weight gain during pregnancy for a woman of normal weight is 25 to 35 pounds (11.5 to 16 kg). Maternal weight gain during pregnancy is an important determinant of the baby’s birth weight. That, in turn, is an important determinant of the newborn’s weight and health. Things have changed.

Piano tuner marks 25th year at Newport Jazz Festival ERIC TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

OUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. – Between each act at the Newport Jazz Festival, as the audience cheers and crews clear the equipment, Bill Calhoun darts onstage with a fistful of tools and parks at the piano. He cocks his head, lowers his ear to the piano, taps ding-dingding on the keys, tinkers with a tuning pin here and there. When he’s done, he scurries off stage. It’s a routine Calhoun has perfected. He marked his 25th anniversary last weekend as piano tuner for the celebrated jazz festival, which since 1954 has hosted such luminaries as John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Ray Charles. Calhoun generally has minimal interactions with the musicians, but his behind-the-scenes role is crucial to the festival’s

‘I’m insurance that the pianos will be in tune enough and in good enough repair.’ Bill Calhoun Piano tuner success. When Dave Brubeck hits a note that rings just so, it’s of course a credit to his talent but also a testament to Calhoun’s craftsmanship. “The musician playing the piano has never played this piano before. They’re going to walk on stage, introduce themselves to the audience and then sit down at a piano that they have never played,” Calhoun said. “In a sense my job is to make it so that they have total trust in what the piano can do for them and how the piano sounds.” Performers who play Newport take turns on the festival’s rented pianos rather than bring their own, creating the need for an onsite tuner sensitive to the instrument’s notoriously fickle nature: Humid weather, common during the annual August festival, can knock the pitch out of whack. So can a pianist who pounds the keys especially hard. “I’m insurance that the pianos will be in tune enough and in good enough repair,” explained 55-year-old Calhoun.

Bill Calhoun is unsung hero of Newport Jazz Festival. Normally both he and the performers are too busy to greet each other, though sometimes they do. One time Chick Corea asked to meet Calhoun to feel him out and get a sense of the piano he’d be playing. He’s also met Dr. John – a pianist of a strikingly “gentle” style, Calhoun says, despite his “funny little meaty hands.” And one summer, he found himself huddled beneath a piano with Herbie Hancock and his manager, investigating the source of a terrific bam that occurred after a structural piece at the instrument’s base fell during

the Grammy winner’s performance. “His manager looks at me and goes, ‘Are you the piano technician?’ I said ‘yes.’ He goes ‘good’ and then he looks at Herbie and says, ‘Herbie, get out of here!’ ” Calhoun recalled with a laugh. As a boy, Calhoun was always more interested in trying to take apart his parents’ piano than in playing it, though he is himself a pianist and fond of bluesy jazz. The Dartmouth College graduate taught high school science before deciding to mesh his

interest in music and physics. He enrolled in the piano technology program at the New England Conservatory in Boston, then was hired at the jazz festival in 1986 after making what he calls a “ridiculously low” offer for his services. He’s been there ever since, also working the Newport Folk Festival when a piano is needed for a performance. Calhoun arrives at 7 a.m. and hangs with the sound engineers near the stage. He does full tunings and checks octaves at the start of the day, but between acts is when he really hustles – moving between performances on the festival’s three stages with a tuning wrench and pair of rubber mutes. He typically has a narrow window to test the strings that correspond to each note, check the octaves and finger the keys to make sure the sound is pitchperfect. “He’s very good and very fast, which you have to be. Sometimes there’s only 15 minutes between two piano players. He’s got to pipe right up on stage and make sure the piano’s in tune,” said Bob Jones, a senior producer with New Festival Networks, the festival’s production company. Calhoun is one of the festival’s many unsung contributors who return each year and are vital to behind-the-scene operations, said Tim Tobin, the festival’s operation’s manager. “They do feel as if it is a privilege to work for this festival because it is in fact the granddaddy of all jazz festivals,” Tobin said. “When you’re working with your family, they tend to stick around.” The festival celebrated its 56th anniversary last weekend with performers including Hancock, Brubeck and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis. Calhoun says he’s tuned the piano of virtually every Newport performer in the last quartercentury, though one notable exception sticks out in his mind. One summer Bruce Hornsby swung by Newport while on tour but enlisted his own keyboard player to tune his 9-foot Baldwin piano. It was, Calhoun politely suggests, perhaps not the best decision. “Let’s just say had I tuned the piano it would have sounded better, but you know, Bruce Hornsby didn’t seem to care one bit what it sounded like.”

NEW YORK (AP) – Two generations after Jacques Cousteau introduced television viewers to an undersea world, his grandson is becoming a go-to environmentalist for TV producers on some of the same topics. Philippe Cousteau hosts a series of documentaries with his sister Alexandra this month for what the Planet Green network calls its “Blue August.” The centerpiece is a six-part series which started last Sunday, “Oceans Blue,” where Cousteau and other marine explorers tell stories about secrets of the ocean. Cousteau was a frequent guest on news programs to discuss the Gulf oil spill, particularly on CNN. He dove into the Gulf of Mexico for ABC’s “Good Morning America” for a story on how oil was spreading away from the surface. Cousteau, 30, hopes to use his burgeoning celebrity status to make sure the Gulf story isn’t forgotten, even as cameras move away with the gushing underwater well capped and the oil slick on the water’s surface starting to shrink. Cousteau’s grandfather became a celebrity through his nature documentaries, most focused on bodies of water and how they are affected by humans. “The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau” captivated audiences on ABC from the late 1960s to mid-1970s. Cousteau’s son, Philippe, was a frequent traveler on the research ship The Calypso. His father died in a plane crash six months before young Philippe was born, so he knew him only through the images caught in the documentaries.

It appears that today’s North was on shaky ground when he bid two hearts on a threecard suit. What if South raised? As it happened, NorthSouth landed safely at four spades, and West led a heart. South took the ace, forced out the ace of trumps, won West’s trump exit and cashed the A-K of diamonds, avoiding a finesse because he didn’t want East to get in. But East won the third diamond and led a club, and down South went.

In fact, North’s bid was safe: If South raised hearts, he would have five spades; he would have responded one heart with four cards in each major. Assuming West had the ace of trumps for his bid, South’s play was wrong. To prevent East from getting in for a club shift, South can lead the queen of hearts at Trick Two, planning to pitch a diamond if East plays low. If East covers, South ruffs, forces out the ace of trumps, wins the trump return, takes the top diamonds and discards a diamond on the jack of hearts. He ruffs a diamond and reaches dummy with a trump to

Jeff Lewis isn’t ‘Flipping Out’ as much DERRIK J. LANG AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER

IFC FILMS | AP

Alexander Siddig and Patricia Clarkson in a scene from “Cairo Time.”

Reviews of films at area theaters “Cairo Time” – Writer-director Ruba Nadda’s fourth film seeks poetry and comes up short. Shot on location in Egypt, it has the exotic setting. With Patricia Clarkson as a visiting wife left alone by her waylaid husband, and Alexander Siddig as her host and companion, it has the roles. But the slow pace and elegant mood of “Cairo Time” fails to summon any magic, and this film – a kind of Middle East version of “Lost in Translation” – passes with merely a picturesque tick-tock. PG for mild thematic elements and smoking. 89 minutes. Two stars out of four. – Jake Coyle, AP Entertainment Writer

ing the summer when so much is so mindless. It’s so deftly handled, so sharp and clever, you’d never know it’s the first feature from British writer-director J Blakeson. A tense, twisting tale about the kidnapping of a wealthy man’s daughter, “Alice Creed” keeps you on your toes as secrets are revealed and allegiances shift. With its three characters in a cramped space, it has the claustrophobic feel of watching a play on film. Yet there’s also a dry sense of humor that surfaces sporadically and keeps it from being completely suffocating. 100 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four. – Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

“The Disappearance of Alice Creed” – There’s so much to say here, so much to pore over and praise. Trouble is, the less you know about this movie heading into it, the better. So ... what can we say about it, then? Well, it’s one you should definitely see: a small, intelligent thriller you’ll be glad you went out of your way to find, especially dur-

“Middle Men” – You’ll probably want to take a shower after watching this, just to wash all the “ick” off yourself. And that’s a compliment. Inspired-by-a-true-story film about the birth of Internet porn, it’s giddily sleazy, full of convincing crazies and criminals, as well as the scumbags and wannabes who surround them. Writer-director George Gallo seems to

have been influenced by “Boogie Nights” and “Goodfellas,” not just in their subject matter but in their fast-paced, inyour-face hodgepodge of images, styles and music. It’s a predictable riseand-fall tale, but at least it’s fun while it lasts. 113 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. – Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic “The Other Guys” – If the mismatchedbuddy cop movie seems egregiously overdone, the idea of a parody of that genre would seem especially needless – which is what makes this such a wonderful surprise. On paper, this could have been painfully lame. Will Ferrell is doing a variation on his tried-and-true film persona: the overly earnest guy who’s totally confident and oblivious to his buffoonery. Mark Wahlberg, meanwhile, is playing with his screen image as a tough guy and a hothead, doing a version of his Oscarnominated role in “The Departed.” 101 minutes. Three stars out of four. – Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

LOS ANGELES – Jeff Lewis isn’t quite like his reality TV peers. The obsessive-compulsive star of “Flipping Out” is something of a black sheep among the Bravolebrities. He’s not as fabulous as “The Real Housewives” nor as chic as the fashionistas of “The Rachel Zoe Project,” and his palate is less refined than any “Top Chef.” (He feasts on McNuggets in Tuesday’s fourth season premiere.) While most cogs in Bravo’s reality TV drama factory uniformly pop up on gossip blogs and in the pages of tabloid magazines between dispatches about Jennifer Aniston and the Kardashians, the sharp-tongued real estate investor and designer has rarely received such attention since adding reality star to his resume four years ago. “I don’t want it,” he says. “There are red carpet events I could go to every single night. I don’t have that kind of time. I stay really focused. The goal of this whole thing for me, of course, is another stream of income, but you know what? I’m also building a business. I have to make money. I’m not just some wealthy socialite.” As the show’s neat-freak leading man, Lewis has become infamous for his monstrous meltdowns and sarcastic jabs, usually directed at goofy right-hand woman, Jenni Pulos. He seems self-aware, however, and probably isn’t the totally delusional nut job that last season’s average of 1.27 million viewers came to love and/or loathe. “Don’t tell anybody this because it will ruin my reputation, but every Sunday I’m down visiting my grandmother,” he says during a recent interview over breakfast at a Hollywood coffee shop. “I take care of her. I remodel her house. I bought her a car. I go down there and take out her trash and make sure she has groceries.” Starring in “Flipping Out” has seemingly helped just as much as it’s hurt the manic 40-year-old Lewis, who once requested that Pulos bring him a drink ideally composed of “70 percent lemonade, 20 percent fruit punch and 10 percent Sprite.” Lewis and Pulos acknowledge he’s learned

about himself from studying his conduct on TV. “I think he looked at himself and said, ‘I don’t like a lot of my behavior. I don’t like how I go to blind rage. I Lewis don’t like certain things I do,’” she says. “For him, it was therapy edited into – what’s it now? – 30 hours total of his life. I know, for myself, it’s been odd when you see your own life edited into this package.” For Lewis, being the subject of a reality TV show has come with costs. His relationship with Ryan Brown, Lewis’ ex-boyfriend and business partner, ended last year after he accused him of siphoning clients online. Lewis also reveals a four-year relationship he kept off-camera during the first two seasons ended because of the show. “I think he was really embarrassed that I did the show,” he says. “I think the day it got bought, the relationship changed and went downhill. I think, especially after season one when it got a lot of criticism and not everybody understood me, I think he was really embarrassed. It wasn’t what he originally signed up for.” Since last season, which largely focused on Lewis rebuilding his business after the real estate bubble popped in his face, he’s parlayed his fame into a booming business. The increased workload means more responsibilities for housekeeper Zoila Chavez, house assistant Jett Pink and design associates Sara Berkman and Trace Lenhoff. “Last season, I was stressed out because we had no business,” Lewis says. “This season, it’s the complete opposite. Once we figured out the website, people were able to find me, and the business grew. The problem became handling the onslaught of business because I didn’t want to turn anybody down. In turn, I took on too much.” Lewis, who launched a line of QVC home accessories earlier this year, says viewers can expect more flare-ups in the fourth season but no life-altering dramas such as Pulos’ divorce or the break with Brown. As far as another chapter goes, Lewis says he’s committed to a fifth season but not sure how long he can keep “Flipping Out.”

HELP IS ON THE WAY: Homeowners to get federal aid. 5D

RCR picks up Menard BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WELCOME – Richard Childress Racing will be back next season at the four-team maximum NASCAR allows in the Cup Series. Paul Menard will leave Richard Petty Motorsports at the end of the season and take sponsorship from his father’s Midwestern chain of hardware stores to RCR. A release from the team said the deal is “multi-year.” Details concerning the new team are to be announced. Menard is in his fourth full season at the Cup level. In 133 starts, he has two top-five finishes – a second at Talladega in October of 2008 and a fifth in March of this year at Atlanta. His only pole came in July of 2008 at Daytona.

This season at RPM, his average finish has crept up from around 25th to 19.2 and he has scored three of the five top-10 finishes in his career. Menard “Paul has developed into a very good race car driver, and we see his move to RCR next year as an opportunity for him to continue that progress,” said team owner Richard Childress. Menard spent his first two full seasons driving for Dale Earnhardt Inc., moved to Yates Racing for 2009 after DEI merged with Ganassi Racing, and moved under the Richard Petty Motorsports banner when it swallowed Yates Racing. RCR fielded three teams from

2002-08, went up to four last season and dropped back to three this year after losing Jack Daniels sponsorship. After a lackluster 2009, RCR driver Kevin Harvick leads the point standings, with teammate Jeff Burton almost certain to join him in the Chase for the Championship and the driver of the other team – Clint Bowyer – vying for the final spot in the playoffs. “Richard Childress Racing has shown this year that they’re headed on the right track,” said Menard in a statement. “Having three cars competing for the Chase and, ultimately, the championship is no small feat and they’re on top of their game. With that in mind and having known Richard for the past 10 years or so, when this opportunity to join RCR came

about it was a no-brainer.” Menard’s decision, coupled with Kasey Kahne joining forces with Rick Hendrick, and Elliott Sadler saying he will not be back, leaves AJ Allmendinger as RPM’s only driver certain to return next season. Reports indicate that Marcos Ambrose, who is leaving JTG/Daugherty Racing at the end of the season, will wind up at RPM. Menard’s move marks the second time in two years that a sponsor moved from a team bearing the Petty name to RCR. General Mills left Petty Enterprises for RCR at the end of the 2008 season, a change that left Petty without a main sponsor and forced a merger with Gillett/Evernham Motorsports. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

Panthers without 11 vs. Ravens SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – Take the NFL’s third-youngest team and subtract several key veterans because of injuries and it leaves Carolina Panthers coach John Fox facing an intriguing preseason opener tonight at Baltimore. “There are probably 20-something guys I’ve never seen take a snap in NFL football,” Fox said Wednesday. “You have some of those guys every year from your draft class. We just have a few more this year.” The Panthers’ offseason decision to shed veterans and payroll left a trail of inexperience, and training camp has thinned the roster. Fox said 11 players wouldn’t make the trip to Baltimore, including cornerback Chris Gamble, running back Jonathan Stewart and receiver Steve Smith. Starters are expected to play the first quarter against the Ravens. Matt Moore will start at quarterback in Carolina’s first game since seven-year starter Jake Delhomme was released. But Fox said he’ll try to get all four QBs in the game in what will be second-round pick and former Notre Dame star Jimmy Clausen’s NFL debut. “It’s going to be the first time live since college, so it’s going to be fun out there,” Clausen said. “Just have a lot of fun and make plays.” Dwayne Jarrett, Kenny Moore and rookie Brandon LaFell are expected to see time with the firstteam at receiver with Smith still sidelined because of a broken forearm suffered in a flag football game in June. Stewart (heel) hasn’t practiced since offseason surgery, while Captain Munnerlyn is expected to start at cornerback with Gamble (knee) slowed in camp. Right tackle Jeff Otah (knee), running back Mike Goodson (ankle), receivers Charly Martin (finger) and Trent Guy (hamstring), safety Aaron Francisco (hamstring), linebacker Jordan Senn (shoulder), tackle Garry Williams (shoulder) and linebacker Thomas Davis (knee) also won’t play. Davis’ second torn anterior cruciate ligament in a year led the coaching staff to shuffle the starting spots at linebacker. Jon Beason will start at weakside linebacker against the Ravens after making the Pro Bowl the past two years in the middle. Dan Connor will start in Beason’s old spot.

WHO’S NEWS

---

Isiah Thomas will not be returning to the New York Knicks after all. Thomas said Wednesday in a statement he was declining a position as a consultant with the franchise he ran for 41⁄2 years because it may not be legal. “After speaking with commissioner Stern and Knicks executives, it has become apparent that my new agreement violates certain NBA bylaws,” Thomas said. The Knicks announced the agreement with Thomas on Friday. League personnel are not allowed contact with players who are not yet eligible for the draft, which Thomas would have in his role as Florida International University coach.

TOP SCORES

he Carolina Panthers road to the Super Bowl – or someplace short of that lofty destination, as the case may ultimately be – starts tonight at 8 against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. ESPN provides the live television coverage. This game could tell us a lot about the Panthers’ prospects for the season ahead. But don’t bank on it. The first exhibition – oops, sorry NFL bigwigs

– I meant preseason contest generally proves a sloppy, penalty-filled revolving door of personnel. The primary goals are to avoid injuries to key players at all costs and avoid injuries to potential key players if at all possible. We’ll probably see the first-team units for a couple of series, then let the bench-clearing mania begin. Still, I am curious to see how Matt Moore looks directing the Panthers offense for how-

ever brief a time that may be. And it will be interesting to see how the Carolina defense looks against an opponent wearing a different jersey. The final score won’t mean much, but the way the Panthers and Ravens get there could be entertaining and at least a little informative.

Ten years later, U.S. gymnasts get their medals HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Ten years later, America’s gymnasts from the Sydney Olympics received their bronze medals. At a ceremony Wednesday, the U.S. women’s team received the third-place medals that were stripped from China because a member of that team was found to be underage. The new bronze medalists are Amy Chow, Jamie Dantzscher, Dominique Dawes, Kristin Maloney, Elise Ray and Tasha Schwikert, who combined to finish fourth in Sydney but were bumped up after an investigation into a Chinese gymnast’s age. They learned of the International Olympic Committee’s decision to give them the medals in April and received their newly forged bronze medals from American IOC member Anita DeFrantz before the start of U.S. championships.

Tests show sprained MCL for Titans’ Hayes

Atlanta’s Brian McCann (16) hits a grand slam during the 10th inning of Wednesday’s game against the Astros in Houston. The Braves bagged an 8-2 victory.

Braves score six in 10th to top Astros THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON – After getting blown out in the first game and needing late rallies to win the other two, Braves manager Bobby Cox was pleased to escape Houston with a series victory. Omar Infante drove in the goahead run with a 10th-inning double and Brian McCann added a grand slam later in the inning to give Atlanta an 8-2 win over the Astros on Wednesday. “It was a good series,” Cox said. “We took it. That’s all you can ask. A sweep would have been great, but we almost got swept ourselves.” Infante’s hit bounced low on the wall in left field and scored Rick Ankiel to put Atlanta back on top 3-2, giving closer Billy Wagner (6-2) the win after he blew a save in the ninth. Brandon Lyon (6-5) intentionally walked Melky Cabrera to set up a run-scoring single by Alex Gonzalez, and McCann’s pinch hit slam off Jeff Fulchino put the game out of reach. The Braves trailed 2-1 on Tuesday night, but won 4-2 after a pair of homers in the ninth. “As long as our team is winning ... that’s what it’s all about,” said Wagner, the former Astros pitcher who will retire after this season. “That’s not how I guess you’d draw it up, but you don’t have much you can do about it. But a win’s a win and it’s good for us.” Braves starter Tommy Hanson gave up two hits and didn’t allow an earned run before being replaced by Jonny Venters. He walked one in a scoreless eighth before Wagner took over. Hunter Pence tied it 2-2 when he scored on a sacrifice fly by Chris Johnson off Wagner in the ninth inning. Pence singled on a grounder to third base before advancing to third on a single by Lee. Wagner retired the next two batters to send the game to extra innings. Ankiel walked with one out in the 10th before reaching second on an error by Pedro Feliz, who couldn’t handle the throw to first base. Lyon intentionally walked

Eric Hinske before Infante’s goahead hit and the flood of runs that followed. “I didn’t make good pitches and they hit them,” Lyon said. “I just have to come back next time and make better pitches.” Houston closer Matt Lindstrom wasn’t available Wednesday after pitching two straight days and dealing with a sore back. Atlanta 3B Chipper Jones (left knee) is still experiencing pain on the lower left side of his knee. The 38-year-old will know the severity of the injury after an MRI in Atlanta today.

“It’s been a strange day so far,” Fontenot said. “Coming to the field to get your work in and went up the stairs after hitting and they called me in the office. I’m excited for the opportunity. Knowing the Giants are in the thick of it really gets you pumped up.” San Francisco sent speedy ClassA center fielder Evan Crawford to the Cubs, who weren’t sure yet at which level Crawford would play. The Giants also activated infielder Eugenio Velez from the disabled list and optioned him to Triple-A Fresno. Velez was struck on the head July 25 by a foul ball while in the dugout against Arizona.

CARDINALS 6, REDS 1 CINCINNATI – Colby Rasmus hit his first career grand slam, Adam Wainwright dazzled again and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-1 on Wednesday, completing a three-game sweep that changed the standings and made their point. The defending NL Central champs, scraped up from a cleatkicking brawl the previous night, wouldn’t be dismissed or demeaned. The Cardinals overtook the Reds with their first threegame sweep in Cincinnati since 2005, moving a game ahead in the standings. Rasmus’ homer off Bronson Arroyo (12-7) broke it open in the fifth. Wainwright (17-6) remained unbeaten in day games, allowing a pair of singles in seven shutout innings before a thunderstorm caused a 46-minute delay and left standing water on the field.

GIANTS ACQUIRE FONTENOT SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Giants looked only as far as the visitor’s clubhouse to add depth and versatility to their infield, acquiring Mike Fontenot from the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night. Fontenot was still in Cubs gear a couple hours before game time, ready to make the short walk across the ballpark – all of about 500 feet. He was available for the Giants off the bench.

ANGELS 2, ROYALS 1 ANAHEIM, Calif. – Bobby Abreu homered in the bottom of the 10th inning Wednesday to give the Los Angeles Angels a 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals and a threegame sweep. Abreu sent a 1-1 pitch from Jesse Chavez (0-1) into the right-field seats with one out. The Angels rushed from the dugout to greet Abreu but stood back, giving him plenty of room to safely cross the plate. Brian Fuentes (1-0) pitched a perfect 10th to get the victory.

TIGERS 3, RAYS 2 DETROIT – Ryan Raburn hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the sixth inning and the Tigers held on to avoid a series sweep. Justin Verlander (13-7) gave up one run and six hits while striking out seven over six innings. Ryan Perry pitched 12⁄3 innings of scoreless relief and Jose Valverde allowed a run before earning his 22nd save in 23 chances.

ATHLETICS 5, MARINERS 1 SEATTLE – Dallas Braden tossed a four-hitter for his fourth career complete game, Mark Ellis hit three doubles and drove in three runs, and the Athletics cruised past Seattle. Braden (7-8) won for just the third time in nine decisions since throwing a perfect game on May 9 against Tampa Bay.

Pacers get Collison from Hornets in 4-team trade INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Larry Bird always said he wouldn’t rush the rebuilding of the Indiana Pacers. He stuck to his word, and it paid off. He waited until all the free agency hype died down before delivering one of the biggest moves for his franchise in years – the acquisition of point guard Darren Collison from New Orleans – in a four-way trade that also includes New Jersey and Houston. “We said at the beginning of the summer that we were going to be patient and don’t make drastic moves just to make a move,” Bird said. “We have a plan here. It’s a three-year plan, and I expect to get the job done in three years.” The term rebuilding might no longer apply now that the Pacers have added the 22-year-old Collison to a core that includes forward Danny Granger and center Roy Hibbert.

“I think it helps out tremendously,” Bird said. “I think this was the piece that we needed. The vision I have for this franchise is to get the core group up and ready to go as quick as we can, and this piece here will accelerate everything.” The Pacers also announced Wednesday they have dealt Troy Murphy to the Nets, who sent guard Courtney Lee to Houston. To complete the trade, the Rockets shipped swingman Trevor Ariza to New Orleans. Indiana also got James Posey from New Orleans in the deal. The Pacers were searching for a point guard because T.J. Ford fell out of favor last season with coach Jim O’Brien. The Pacers get a good young one in Collison, who played well when Chris Paul was injured. He averaged 12.4 points and 5.7 assists as a rookie last season, including 18.8

points and 9.1 assists in 37 starts. “I didn’t think he’d have the year he had last year,” Bird said. “He’s solid. He likes to defend. He always could shoot the ball. We think he’s a complete player.” The Nets get a good rebounder in the 6-foot-11 Murphy, a New Jersey product who is an excellent outside shooter for his size. The former first-round pick from Notre Dame is a career 39 percent shooter from 3-point range. He played in 262 games for the Pac-

ers, with averages of 13.3 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. The Rockets were looking to cut salary after resigning point guard Kyle Lowry and power forward Luis Scola, both restricted free agents, and picking up backup center Brad Miller. Ariza was due to make about $6.3 million this season, the first of four years left on his contract. Houston signed Ariza in July 2009, when free agent Ron Artest decided to join the Los Angeles Lakers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Tennessee Titans feared the worst when starting defensive end William Hayes injured his knee at camp. However, they breathed a sigh of relief Wednesday after learning he might be ready for their season opener. Tests showed Hayes only has a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee, welcome news on a team getting thin on the defensive line. Hayes, who starred at T.W. Andrews and Winston-Salem State, gingerly walked off the indoor practice field Tuesday with a trainer and doctor after getting hit on the outside of his knee during a drill. Hayes walked slowly into the locker room Wednesday with a brace on his right knee. “Happy it’s not an ACL,” Hayes said. “I definitely thought it was probably going to be a little bit worse than it was, but it’s not as bad as we thought. Everybody’s happy around here. Just be out for a couple weeks and get back into it.” Coach Jeff Fisher said the Titans were excited to hear the test results.

“When you have that kind of injury on the practice field and upon imHayes mediate examination your fear is you’ve got an ACL involved. So with a mild MCL sprain that’ll keep him out for a couple weeks, it’s good news,” Fisher said. Hayes, entering his third year, started 11 games last season. He is the latest defensive lineman beset by injury. Top draft pick Derrick Morgan has yet to practice with the full team because of injuries, and Jacob Ford missed three days with a hip flexor before practicing Wednesday afternoon. Tackle Jason Jones played a few snaps Tuesday to help finish off practice, and tackle Kareem Brown did the same Wednesday. Hayes was a fourthround pick in 2008 out of WSSU, but he played in all 16 games in 2009 with four sacks, five tackles for loss and 82 total tackles. Hayes has worked with the firstteam line opposite Ford in training camp.

Saints take on Patriots in exhibition opener THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After two days of scrimmages against each other, the Saints and Patriots get started on the real thing – well, almost – when they meet tonight. The first preseason game for both teams should have slightly more intensity than the joint workouts, but not nearly as much as a regular-season meeting. Certainly not like New Orleans’ 38-17 home win over the Patriots that lifted the Saints to 110 on their way to their first Super Bowl title. Most starters will make cameo appearances at Gillette Stadium as the exhibition season kicks off in full force this weekend. Also playing tonight are the Carolina Panthers at the Baltimore Ravens, and the Oakland Raiders at the Dallas Cowboys. “You never try to pick up where you left off,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “We start from scratch again and I think there’s a certain path you have to take that involves a lot of hard work and study and preparation. We’re early in camp still, considering that there are still four preseason games left. We have a lot of work to do and a lot of stuff to clean up. “But any time you begin a season, you want to start off on a good note. We were able to do that a year ago and we’ll see

what we do this year.” Payton expects the regulars to have 15 to 18 plays. It should be about the same for New England, with the intriguing possibility that star receiver Wes Welker could get on the field. He underwent surgery in February for a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee. Patriots coach Bill Belichick has been noncommittal on Welker’s availability. Just the fact he is participating regularly in training camp is particularly encouraging for New England, and Welker was involved in the scrimmaging against New Orleans. Saints running back Reggie Bush likes the idea of working out against another team, particularly when it’s the Patriots. “I think it’s been very beneficial, because it gives us the chance to look at a different defense and offense and go up against a different team entirely, giving us a chance to compete,” Bush said. “Some of the guys that are draft picks and undrafted free agents, it gives them an opportunity to compete and earn their spot. It was really productive at the end of the day.” And satisfying to hear the Patriots praise his team, with several New England players saying they are trying to measure up to the Saints’ standard.

Panthers crush Bahamas All-Stars SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

NASSUA, Bahamas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The High Point University menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team overcame a halftime score tie to post a 104-84 victory over the Bahamas All-Stars on Tuesday night at Sir Kendal Isaacs Gym. Junior guard Nick Barbour scored a game-high 23 points along with nine rebounds to lead the Panthers. Duâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Vaughn Maxwell posted his second double-double of the week with 15 points and 10 rebounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part about this game was the second half and the way we responded,â&#x20AC;? said HPU head coach Scott Cherry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got out of the gate well in the first half and things started to go against us. We let their style dictate the game which led to the tied score at halftime. In the second half, our guys game out and established our style of play and adjusted

well to how the game was being called. Our guys helped one another and we got great contributions from everyone, especially Duâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Vaughn Maxwell and Dave Campbell. The best part was bringing Tehran Cox home and helping him win two games in front of his family.â&#x20AC;? The Bahamas All-Stars won the opening tip and got a quick basket from Kevin Hinsey before the Panthers evened it with a pair of free throws from Shay Shine. Barbour followed it up with a trey, then dished a great fast-break pass to Cox, who scored on a layup. Shine hit another fast-break layup to make it 9-2 and the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; run continued. Cameron Solomon stretched the lead to 18-5 when he hit a jumper, then got a steal and hit a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession. The AllStars began to find the basket, but HPU maintained a strong lead and Barbour hit a 3-point-

er to close out the first quarter with a 32-19 Panthers lead. The Bahamas All-Stars opened up the second quarter with 13 straight points to close the gap to 34-32. HPU began to find the basket and a long-range three by Barbour made it 42-34, but the All-Stars made another run. They came back and got within a point (44-43) on a 3pointer by Garvin Lightbourn, then tied it when Lightbourn made one of three free-throw attempts in the final minute to make it 44-44 at halftime. The Panthers opened up the second half with the first three baskets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a putback by Barbour, another putback by Earnest Bridges and a reverse layup from Justin Cheek. The game went back and forth with the Panthers holding a small lead throughout the quarter. At one point, Barbour hit a 3pointer and Solomon hit two treys that were interspersed

by free throws by the All-Stars. Maxwell completed a twoand-one to give HPU its first double-digit lead since early in the second quarter, a 69-58 edge with 3:19 left in the third. The Panthers followed that up with fast-break baskets by Jairus Simms and Barbour to make it 73-58. HPU continued to push its lead, ending the third with a pair of free throws by Barbour that made it 79-61. Cox hit a pull-up jumper to open up the final quarter and the Panthers continued to hold a strong lead. Barbour connected with Shine for an ally oop, which was followed by a basket from Travis Elliott that pushed the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead over 20 points (89-68) for the first time in the game. Maxwell made two highlight-reel plays in a row â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first a dunk and then a great block as the Panthers held a 9373 lead with under five minutes in the game. A one-handed dunk

Whistling Straitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sand traps pop up all over

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The muted green sign among the native grasses invites golfers into Whistling Straits. Just ahead the raised bunkers that dot the hill to the clubhouse look less hospitable. While the most prominent feature thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be displayed this week at the 2010 PGA Championship will be the wind-swept views with Lake Michigan glistening in the background, all the sand will likely torment the pros. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as you drive through the gates, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bunkers there staring you in the face. So, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a golf course anywhere near there,â&#x20AC;? Hunter Mahan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re everywhere, really.â&#x20AC;? The number of bunkers at architect Pete Dyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1998 creation isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t known. A recent Golf Digest article concluded there were 967. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many of them. In a four-day tournament, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bound to be in some,â&#x20AC;? Zach Johnson said.

by Maxwell with under three minutes made it 99-77 before he fouled out on the next play. HPU continued to hold the lead to make the final 104-84. Behind Barbour and Maxwell, Solomon scored 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the floor and Cheek scored 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Lightbourn finished with 21 points for the Bahamas AllStars followed by 18 by Michael Bain and 14 from Hinsey. In their first game in the Bahamas on Sunday night, HPU beat the Real Deal Shockers 92-71 behind a 19-point performance from Barbour. The Panthers had one more day in the Bahamas before returning to North Carolina today. The regular season begins with an exhibition game against Bridgewater College on Nov. 6 before the season opener on Nov. 13 against Ferrum College at the Millis Center.

LEE, ROHANNA, SWEENEY ADVANCE AT CHARLOTTE

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Medalists Erynne Lee, Rachel Rohanna and Jaclyn Sweeney advanced on the first day of match play Wednesday at the U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amateur at Charlotte Country Club. Lee, of Silverdale, Wash., who had seven birdies in a round of 66 to wrap up stroke play on Tuedsay, beat Isabelle Lendl of Goshen, Conn., in 19 holes. Rohanna, of Waynesburg, Pa., defeated Isabel Han of Harrington Park, N.J., 1 up on the par-72, 6,559yard layout on another day of mid90s heat in Charlotte. Sweeney, of Andover, Mass., defeated Jaclyn Jansen of Effingham, Ill., 6 and 5. Second- and third-round matches are today, with quarterfinals Friday and semifinals Saturday. The final of this U.S. Golf Association event will be 36 holes on Sunday.

Steve Stricker signs autographs during a practice round for the PGA Championship on Wednesday at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis.

Wisconsin native Stricker the main man this week SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; No pressure or anything, Steve Stricker. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only an entire state hanging on your every shot at the PGA Championship. Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite golfer is generating the kind of frenzy normally reserved for Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson at Whistling Straits this week. Fans line every hole he plays, asking for his autograph and wishing him well. His mere appearance on the green prompts hearty applause. The governor gave him a shoutout. Some kids are even running around the course in bright green â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strickerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soldiersâ&#x20AC;? T-shirts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do I feel extra expectations? Yeah, I do,â&#x20AC;? Stricker said Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like I do every other week, I want to play well. But I REALLY want to play well here, you know what I mean?â&#x20AC;? With snow covering the ground about half the year, Wisconsin is not exactly known as a breeding ground for golfers. Oh, it produces a standout here and there, but they usually leave their home state for warmer climates when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get serious about the game. Which only endears Stricker more to his fellow Cheeseheads. The No. 3 golfer in the world still lives full-time in Madison, trading his clubs for blaze-orange camouflage in the fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know this is a big deal to him,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Small, who played and roomed with Stricker at Illinois and now coaches the Illini. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under maybe some selfimposed pressure, because he wants to win a major and it being in his home state.â&#x20AC;? Not to mention that he missed out the last time Wisconsin played host to a major. Stricker was one of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising stars in the mid-1990s, finishing fourth on the money list in 1996 and earning runner-up honors at the 1998 PGA Championship. Five years later, though, his career was in shambles. He made the cut just eight times in 2003 and, for the first time since turning pro, failed to record at least one top-10 finish. The next year wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any better, so much so that when the PGA made its first visit to Whistling Straits, Stricker wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was difficult. My game, though, was not in any situation to be put on display, either,â&#x20AC;? said Stricker, who watched the tournament from home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it was kind of a shot in the arm, too, showing that I needed to get better and needed to put some extra work in.â&#x20AC;?

Homeowners to get federal help WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is providing $3 billion to unemployed homeowners facing foreclosure in the nation’s toughest job markets. The Treasury Department says it will send $2 billion to 17 states that have unemployment rates higher than the national average for a year. They will use the money for programs to aid unemployed homeowners. Some of those states have already designed such programs. Another $1 billion will go to a new program being run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. It will provide homeowners with emergency zero-interest

Dollar sinks versus Japanese yen NEW YORK (AP) — The dollar tumbled to a 15-year low Wednesday versus the Japanese yen, which many traders have taken as a safer bet after the Federal Reserve said it expected a weaker U.S. recovery and took steps to support the economy. The dollar rose against most other currencies around the world, however, with investors still seeking access to one of the world’s most accessible places to park funds, short-term U.S. Treasurys.

Macy’s profit surges in 2nd quarter NEW YORK (AP) — Macy’s Inc.’s net income surged in the second quarter as the department store chain saw a payoff from its focus on exclusive moderate-price fashions and tailoring merchandise to local markets. The company, based in Cincinnati, boosted its profit outlook and increased its forecast for a key revenue measure as it takes market share from rivals such as J.C. Penney.

Oil prices fall on economic concerns NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices retreated for a second day on Wednesday as concern grows over whether consumers will spend more on energy in a sluggish economy. Benchmark crude for September delivery fell $1.93 to $78.32 a barrel in midday trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

rate loans of up to $50,000 for up to two years. The administration was required to launch the programs by the financial regulatory bill signed by President Barack Obama last month. The money to pay for the efforts is coming from $50 billion set aside for homeowner assistance from the $700 billion Wall Street bailout. California will get the largest share of money for the Treasury program, at $476 million. Florida is in line for nearly $239 million. Illinois will receive $166 million and Ohio will receive $149 million. The Obama administration has rolled out numerous attempts to tackle the foreclosure crisis but has made only a small

dent in the problem. More than 40 percent, or about 530,000 homeowners, have fallen out of the administration’s main effort to assist those facing foreclosure. That program, known as Making Home Affordable, provides lenders with incentives to reduce mortgage payments. So far, it has provided permanent help to about 390,000 homeowners, or 30 percent of the 1.3 million who have enrolled since March 2009. Also receiving money are Michigan, $129 million; Georgia, $127 million; North Carolina, $121 million; New Jersey, $112 million; Indiana, $83 million and Tennessee, $81 million.

Job openings continue to decline WASHINGTON (AP) — Company job openings fell for the second straight month in June, a sign that hiring isn’t likely to pick up in the coming months. The data comes after a weak employment report Friday that showed businesses aren’t adding enough new workers to bring down the unemployment rate, currently 9.5 percent. Wednesday’s report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, or JOLTS, suggests that won’t change anytime soon. Job openings on average can take about three months to fill, economists say. That means the JOLTS report for June provides a rough signal of how many jobs will be created about three months later. The Labor Department

says job openings at businesses fell to 2.54 million in June from 2.6 million in May. Overall openings were unchanged, as government openings ticked up. The government figures have been distorted in recent months by the ending of hundreds of thousands of temporary census jobs. June’s total openings are 26 percent above the low point of 2.3 million in July 2009. But that’s still far below pre-recession levels of about 4.4 million openings per month. The report suggests that slow hiring is the biggest hurdle facing the nation’s work force. Layoffs by private companies fell to just below 1.7 million, similar to the pace before the recession. Private sector layoffs rose to a peak of 2.5 million in January 2009.

Airlines cut workers for two straight years NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. airlines have cut jobs for two straight years, the government said Wednesday, as accelerating layoffs and outsourcing sped up a downward slide that started in 2001. The industry has now lost one of every four U.S. employees it had a decade ago — before the last two recessions and the Sept. 11 attacks. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics said the level of U.S. airline employment in June was the second-lowest in 20 years. In that same time period, annual passenger traffic has jumped about 65 percent.

Job losses at U.S. airlines have picked up since 2008 because the recession forced carriers to cut thousands of jobs here and ship more overseas. The industry has lost 54,000 jobs, or 16 percent of its work force, in the last two years. Faced first with soaring fuel costs and then a slump in travel demand between 2007 and 2009, airlines dropped routes that weren’t profitable. For passengers, there are fewer flights to choose from, so planes are more full. Diminishing staff and fuller flights are adding to the stress among flight attendants, pilots and other workers.

Stocks fall sharply NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks and interest rates tumbled Wednesday as investors around the world took a bleaker view of the U.S. economy. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 265 points, its biggest drop in six weeks, and all the major indexes fell more than 2 percent. The yield on the Treasury’s 10-year note fell to its lowest level since March 2009 as investors worried about the economy and avoiding stocks sought the safety of government securities. Companies across a wide range of industries dropped Wednesday. Only 442 stocks rose on the New York Stock Exchange, while 2,627 fell, a sign that investors expect all businesses to suffer if the economy continues to weaken. Investors’ gloom deepened a day after the Federal Reserve said it would begin buying government bonds as a way to stimulate the economy. News of slower industrial growth in China and a disappointing economic indicator in Japan helped send stocks plunging first in Asia, then in Europe and the U.S. The Dow dropped 265.42, or 2.5 percent, to 10,378.83, its largest slide since it fell 268.22 on June 29. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 31.59, or 2.8 percent, to 1,089.47.

China’s industrial growth slows, inflation jumps BEIJING (AP) – China’s industrial growth slowed further in July as Beijing clamped down on a credit boom, fueling expectations it will ease monetary policy to shore up its economic expansion. Inflation spiked to its highest level this year as summer flooding wrecked crops but analysts said the increase will likely prove temporary. The government data Wednesday added to signs China’s boom is cooling and fed expectations Beijing needs to reverse course after imposing lending curbs this year to prevent a bubble in stock and real estate prices. “This tells us economic growth is continuing to slow,” said economist Zhu Jianfang of Citic Securities in Beijing. “If they don’t make changes, the economy will see a danger of further sliding.” Economic growth slowed from a blistering 11.9 percent in the first three months of the year to 10.3 percent in the

second quarter as Beijing rolled back its stimulus after China rebounded quickly from the global slump. Chinese leaders say they want to steer growth to a more sustainable level, but the slowdown was sharper than many analysts expected. A further fall in Chinese growth could have global repercussions if it hurts demand for U.S. and European factory equipment, industrial components from Asian economies and iron ore and other raw materials from Australia, Brazil and elsewhere. July growth in factory output slowed for a fifth month to 13.4 percent over a year earlier, its lowest level this year. Retail sales and investment in factories and other fixed assets also slowed. The consumer price index, or CPI, rose 3.3 percent over a year earlier, its fastest rate this year as summer flooding wrecked crops and disrupted shipping.
