SEWER SPILL: Thomasville reports another incident. 2A
Thomas Bus layoffs cut
This Thomas Built bus is fresh off the assembly line.
SATURDAY
HIGH POINT – The reduction of the work force at Thomas Built Buses won’t turn out as severe as anticipated earlier this month. The parent company of the bus manufacturer, Daimler Trucks North America, indicated Friday that a turnaround in demand will allow the company to lay off fewer workers than initially expected. The layoff and cutback in production was supposed to eliminate 216 jobs by the end of this month. Instead, Thomas Built Buses will dismiss 90 workers, the company indicates. Thomas Built Buses leadership notified employees and United Auto Workers Local 5287 on Friday that the company won’t reduce the production rate at its C2 bus facility as announced earlier this month. The decision was made “due to strong demand
for their EPA 2010-compliant school buses,” said Maria McCullough, spokeswoman for Daimler Trucks North America. Thomas Built Buses will only lay off workers who were hired to meet the peak summer demand, McCullough said. “We want to keep as many workers working as possible. You hate to lay off anybody, but the least you can lay off, the better,” said John Crawford, president of UAW Local 5287. Crawford said the UAW and company worked together to minimize the impact of the layoff. Thomas Built Buses has 1,136 employees in the UAW bargaining unit as of today, Crawford said. Thomas Built Buses has experienced an up-and-down year with its business and work force. Earlier this year, Thomas Built Buses recalled 99 employees, who had been laid off in 2009, because of an upturn in orders. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Airport officials ponder public comments on master plan update BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
TRIAD – Piedmont Triad International Airport officials may make a decision as early as next month on a plan that would guide the direction of the airport into the middle of the century. The airport is updating its master plan for the first time in 16 years in the wake of an expansion for the FedEx Corp. cargo hub Johnson and a new runway and taxiways to accommodate the mammoth overnight sorting operation. A draft of the master plan was unveiled in May, and airport officials have been making presentations and taking public comments since then. The airport’s governing board, the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority, could consider approving the master plan update at its meeting next month or in October, said PTIA Executive Director Ted Johnson. The master plan update would provide guidance on airport growth – including land purchases and a possible additional runway

The update anticipates needs for 30 years or longer and is divided into 10-year phases. Among the highlights of the proposed plan are adding 2,300 acres to the nearly 4,000-acre PTIA property and raising the possibility of a fourth runway on the northwestern side of the airport. The proposed land acquisition doesn’t include any property in northern High Point. A copy of the draft master plan update is available on the PITA website – www.flyfrompti.com.

Rise in corporate earnings fails to add jobs BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
TRIAD – It’s the painful economic paradox of the past several months. U.S. businesses, despite the lingering effects of the recession, have reported generally positive secondquarter earnings in recent weeks. The financial reports are for the quarter ending June 30. Eight out of 10 publicly traded companies exceeded earnings expectations, Thomason Reuters reported late last month. But while balance sheets may be better, job growth remains tepid. The nation’s unemployment rate
stayed at 9.5 percent in July as private employers netted 71,000 additional jobs, far fewer than the 200,000 or more needed each month to lower the jobless rate. The city of High Point jobless rate, which was at 10.5 percent when the second quarter began in April, rose to 11.1 percent in June, according to figures from the N.C. Employment Security Commission. The disconnect between corporate earnings and job creation mainly relates to uncertainty on the part of employers about the future of the economy, said Ken Smith, managing partner with the financial services firm Smith Leonard in High Point.
The first step that employers have taken emerging from the recession involves increasing the hours of current workers, Smith said. “Companies had been working people on short time. When business gets a little better, they can add hours or pay overtime. If you are not sure that business is going to continue to improve, you don’t take the risk of hiring more people,” he said. Many companies have generated second-quarter profits through cost-cutting, not robust sales and revenue increases, said Mark Kurt, assistant professor of economics at Elon University. “These profits are being generated from cuts in positions and

wages. The profits are coming from cost minimizing,” Kurt said. Companies need to record solid profit gains during several quarters and note positive revenue increases to begin hiring in earnest, Kurt said. One encouraging sign is that the level of layoffs and job cutbacks now is significantly lower than during the heart of the recession a year ago, Kurt said. While the private sector hasn’t been adding jobs in skyrocketing numbers, net gains have occurred through the first half of this year. “But it’s slow,” Kurt said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Malo Menard, a neighbor of former Marine Cesar Laurean, testifies during Laurean’s trial at the Wayne County Courthouse in Goldsboro on Friday. Laurean faces charges of first-degree murder in the death of 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach of Vandalia, Ohio in 2007.
Supervisor praises ex-Marine charged with murder GOLDSBORO (AP) – The supervisor of a former Camp Lejeune Marine accused of killing his pregnant colleague testified Friday that exMarine Cesar Laurean was one of the best troops of his rank he has ever led. Chief Warrant Officer Joel Larsen was Laurean’s boss when the thencorporal was a personnel clerk in a combat logistics regiment at Camp Lejeune. Larsen called Laurean one of the top five non-commissioned officers of the 50 or 60 he had commanded over an 18 year Marine Corps career. “The corporal was a
stellar performer,” Larsen said Laurean, 23, of Las Vegas, is on trial for firstdegree murder in the slaying of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, 20, of Vandalia, Ohio. Laurean has pleaded not guilty. He faces life in prison if convicted. Laurean was kicked out of the Marines after fleeing hours before investigators found Lauterbach’s body on Jan. 12, 2008. Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Laurean was arrested in western Mexico in April 2008 after an international manhunt. Prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty so Mexico would return
Laurean to the U.S. Lauterbach accused Laurean in May 2007 of raping her and fathering her unborn baby. She later told a military prosecutor that Laurean couldn’t be the father based on a medical examination and recalculated conception date. A DNA test showed Laurean was not the father. A Marine who was friendly with Laurean at the time testified Thursday that Laurean confessed having consensual sex with the lower-ranking Lauterbach. The rape allegation still darkened Laurean’s career, but after seven months military investigators had not charged

him by the time Lauterbach disappeared in December 2007. The military equivalent of a civilian grand jury proceeding was coming up, which would determine whether there was enough evidence to pursue charges against Laurean, Larsen said. After Lauterbach disappeared, Laurean asked Larsen what would happen to the hearing if the woman didn’t return. Laurean wanted to clear the cloud and deploy to Iraq with the rest of his unit, Larsen said. “He was truly concerned about getting back on track in his career and staying a Marine,” Larsen said.

Man found stuck in chimney of stranger’s home KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A chimney sweep may be lucky as lucky can be, but William Hussey was neither. The Knoxville News Sentinel quoted Knoxville police who said a homeowner heard cries for help and traced them to her chimney early Friday.
Police found a sport utility vehicle abandoned with a door open in the road near the home. There were seven gasoline containers in it and a strong smell of petroleum coming from it. Then, they found Hussey in the chimney of someone he didn’t know. Hussey is 22 and
is from Chapel Hill, N.C. The fire department used a rope to hoist him and he was taken to a hospital to be examined. Police charged Hussey with public intoxication, vandalism and aggravated trespassing. Officers had no explanation for why he was in the chimney.

In this photo released by the semi-official Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA), the reactor building of Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant is seen.
Russia to start up Iran’s nuclear plant MOSCOW (AP) – Russia announced Friday it will begin the startup next week of Iran’s only atomic power plant, giving Tehran a boost as it struggles with international sanctions and highlighting differences between Moscow and Washington over pressuring the Islamic Republic to give up activities that could be used to make nuclear arms. Uranium fuel shipped by Russia will be loaded into the Bushehr reactor on Aug. 21, beginning a process that will last
about a month and end with the reactor sending electricity to Iranian cities, Russian and Iranian officials said. “From that moment, the Bushehr plant will be officially considered a nuclear energy installation,” said Sergei Novikov, a spokesman for the Russian nuclear agency. If Russia carries out its plan, it will end years of foot-dragging on Bushehr. While Moscow signed a $1 billion contract to build the plant in 1995, its completion has
been put off for years. Moscow has cited technical reasons for the delays. But Bushehr has also been an ideal way to gain leverage with both Tehran and Washington. Delaying the project has given Russia continued influence with Tehran in international attempts to have it stop uranium enrichment – a program Iran says it needs to make fuel for an envisaged reactor network but which also can be used to create fissile warhead material.
Global aid falls flat for Pakistan ISLAMABAD (AP) – The global aid response to the Pakistan floods has so far been much less generous than to other recent natural disasters – despite the soaring numbers of people affected and the prospect of more economic ruin in a country key to the fight against Islamist extremists. Reasons include the relatively low death toll of 1,500, the slow onset of the flooding compared with more immediate and dramatic earthquakes or tsu-
namis, and a global “donor fatigue” – or at least a Pakistan fatigue. Triggered by monsoon rains, the floods have torn through the country from its mountainous northwest, destroying hundreds of thousands of homes and an estimated 1.7 million acres (nearly 700,000 hectares) of farmland. In southern Pakistan, the River Indus is now more than 15 miles wide at some points – 25 times wider than during nor-
mal monsoon seasons. The floods have disrupted the lives of 14 million people – 8 percent of the population. Many are living in muddy camps or overcrowded government buildings, while thousands more are sleeping next to their cows, goats and whatever possessions they managed to drag with them.

Gitmo trial delayed due to attorney’s illness GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) – The war-crimes trial of a young Canadian detainee was halted Friday due to the illness of his attorney, who was to be flown to the United States for treatment after collapsing in the courtroom. The trial will be on hold for at least 30 days while the only lawyer for Omar Khadr is treated for complications from recent gall bladder surgery, said Bryan Broyles, the deputy chief defense counsel for the military trials at Guantanamo Bay. Army Lt.
Col. Jon Jackson was taken from court by ambulance Thursday, Jackson ending the session. The delay threatens to bring further disarray to a case that has been held up for more than four years by legal challenges and changes to the offshore system for prosecuting alleged terrorists.

Holliman serves Davidson well in N.C. House Even in these tough economic times, we can’t neglect investments in our children’s futures. Thankfully for Davidson County, Rep. Hugh Holliman has kept children a top priority and fought to save vital school funding.
Thomasville City Schools and Lexington City Schools receive state funding to improve education for at-risk students from the Disadvantaged Student Supplemental Fund. When the state budget was being drafted this year, our schools risked losing $1.6 million of that funding. The consequence would have been disastrous for our children. Thomasville Superintendent Keith Tobin in a Thomasville Times article on July 22 credited Holliman, the House majority leader, and other county House and Senate members with fighting to save that funding. Furthermore, Holliman led in the fight to save over 100 public school teaching positions in Davidson County over the last two years. Voters will have an opportunity in November to return Holliman to the N.C. House where he can continue advocating for Davidson County families. Saving these
schools funds and teaching positions is just one example of the benefits Holliman has brought home. Davidson County cannot afford to take a risk this November on an untested and inexperienced candidate. LORETTA MARTIN Thomasville

It’s difficult for voters to have faith in the elections process if they can’t trust those who are supposed to make sure the elections are fair and that campaign finance laws are enforced. Right now, North Carolinians have good reason to question the integrity of their State Board of Elections. As its staff conducted a touchy investigation into questions about unreported flights by the campaigns of Gov. Beverly Perdue and other gubernatorial candidates, people at the top who owe their jobs to the political process seemed to be a bit too involved in the nuts and bolts. For example, why was the politically appointed chairman of the State Board of Elections overseeing an investigation into questions about Perdue’s campaign reporting deficiencies? According to an excellent series of reports by The News & Observer of Raleigh, board Chairman Larry Leake and Elections Director Gary Bartlett supervised Robin Strach, a state employee, during her investigation – to the point of deciding which Perdue campaign staffers she could question and then sitting in on the interviews. Leake even chartered a plane, at state expense, to “supervise” Strach’s questioning of a New Bern lawyer who made his personal plane available for Perdue during the campaign. The pair also edited out names of campaign staffers Strach was not allowed to interview. If there was concern about the performance or impartiality of Strach – whose husband is a lawyer who until recently was an unpaid attorney for the state Republican Party – then the probe should have been turned over to another investigator. Perdue’s campaign lawyer even requested as much. Instead, Leake and Bartlett kept Strach on a tight leash. It’s fair to make sure that an investigator sticks to the facts regardless of real or perceived allegiances. But Leake is a political appointee who has served under three Democratic governors. His position depends on pleasing the very person whose campaign reports are under investigation. He shouldn’t be so closely involved in the investigation. ... Clarifying state campaign laws and better training for campaign staffs might resolve part of this problem. But the State Board of Elections has an obligation to avoid any appearance of favoritism and conflict of interest. In this case, that standard hasn’t been met.

A
critic recently asked about moderates. What good is the moderate? Surely, they have not done great things. They could not with their mellowness and conciliatory ways. They are pushovers. History underrates its moderate figures; it tends to celebrate firebrand activists first. Fiery citizens make the stories interesting, crusading for war or revolt. But a nation is blessed that has many moderate people. Moderate citizens possess their own genius, and that is the ability to make government run without major obstacles. People come to the meeting table, and they listen to each other. They reach consensus; the problem is almost solved. Moderate folks build schools; fill them with books and bright schoolteachers. They are impressed with classic tales. They appreciate contemporary instructional material but really like what is passed down from generation to generation. If it was good enough for grandpa, then it’s good enough

Activists might want to change the way we live. Moderate men and women simply live and hope to help society by doing so. They don’t need protest signs. They are problem-solvers and work with others. Moderate citizens can see other points of view. They are aware that people have varied opinions. They can see other perspec-

They do not label political camps, but meet each person as an individual with possibly unique contributions and OPINION thoughts. When I was younger, as a Kristine poet, I loved drama. I thought Kaiser that a poem needed to over■■■ flow with emotions. Today, in my art, in my life, I favor subtleties. I love what says exactly enough and no more. And I’ve become a fan of moderate people, people who go about their business without much noise. They are not ardent folks, but they seem to claim the goodness in every situation. Our country does not need a new president, a new resident in the White House. Leave his bags unpacked. Obama’s pragmatism assures me. He is not an ideological or polarizing character. He looks at the work at hand. He is not the champion of progressives or right-wingers. He is a taskmaster with a vision to accomplish goals. He is not a rigid partisan. The nation does not need to turn out Congress; most elected officials want to work for the people. Our country needs a reawakening of moderate people. Contented masses are what make the nation function and thrive. Fiery attitudes do nothing to create good jobs. The passionate disposition cannot bring back manufacturing or establish a green economy. Ordinary people, ignored in history books and expecting very little, keep America going. They do not throw out the status quo, but they tweak it, adjust it, and make it groove with the current circumstances. They conserve resources and use what they have to repair the errors.

Cairo mosques begin unified call to prayer CAIRO (AP) – Is it even remotely feasible to get Cairo’s 4,000 mosques to all sing the same tune? That’s just what Egypt’s government is aiming to do, beginning an ambitious project Thursday to unify the timing and sound of the Islamic call to prayer across the sprawling city of 18 million people, neighborhood by neighborhood. The project, which has been six years in the making, was meant to start in Cairo’s northern suburbs on Wednesday, the first day of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, but system glitches and a communication breakdown delayed it by a day. “Egyptians have a problem
with timing,” said Sheik Salem Abdel-Galil, the official at the Ministry of Religious Endowments who has done more than anyone to push the project forward. “Our goals are to accurately set the time of prayer so that it is called at the same time from each mosque, and to control the quality of the voices that call the prayer,” he told The Associated Press. Like pretty much everything in the densely populated, traffic-choked city, the call to prayer, or azzan, in Cairo is a chaotic affair of wildly different voices ringing out at different times. Even though it is technically a requirement for the caller, or
muezzin, to have a beautiful voice, many who perform the call simply do not. The $175,000 project will equip each mosque with a receiver that will broadcast a single call to prayer from a downtown studio. Abdel-Galil said every one of the city’s mosques should be on the system by the end of Ramadan. Cities in Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey have all successfully enforced some sort of unified call to prayer, but in Cairo there is the additional challenge of thousands of unregistered mosques. In the Middle Ages, Cairo was known as the city of a thousand minarets.

T
aking risks is a necessary and unavoidable part of life. Every time we sit down to eat or take a ride in an automobile, we are taking risks. But, we minimize those risks by smelling our food before we eat it and by driving safely and wearing our seat belts. While we cannot completely abolish risk from our lives, there are many simple and straightforward ways that we can minimize them. We all know, or should know, that the risks imposed by smoking and eating unhealthy foods are significant and far outweigh any benefit we receive from them. The rules for living a healthy, low-risk lifestyle are pretty simple and straightforward: Eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, avoid recreational drugs and overconsumption of alcohol, avoid unsafe sexual activities, and drive carefully. This may sound a lot like what your mother has been saying for years, and with good reason. Mothers know that life is inherently risky and they usually make every effort to safeguard their children. We should all remember that life is a precious gift, and our life is not ours to throw away on risky endeavors or frivolous pastimes. 30006400

Reading can help your outlook on life A
few days ago, I read something that caught my attention. The essence of the message was that reading is active. You must be alive and involved in the process. Contrast that kind of learning with watching a film or listening to a lecture, which may be inactive. Active and participatory learning means you are on the court and in the game. Passive learning or picking up a little bit of what may fall on you and perhaps by some method closely akin to osmosis, you absorb some morsel of truth and information. To read, you must get involved in the process. I just noticed in my library of thousands of books a 1990 Zondervan publication by one of my favorite people, Dr. Ben Carson, world famous pediatric surgeon of Johns Hopkins University Hosptial, titled “Gifted Hands.� One of the turning points in the life of Ben Carson and his brother, Curtis, was when their non-reading mother insisted that her Detroit elementary public school sons read books and write book reports on them for her to check.
These boys began to read and soon were no longer failing, but making good grades. We would all do better if we were more active in the learning process. George B. Emerson, American SHARING educator of the 19th century said, “If we enTHE SPIRIT countered a man of rare intellect, we should ask Bill him what books he read.� Ellis I am reading the ■■■unusual book on reading, Read for Your Life, written by the energetic and engaging Pat Williams, senior vice president of the Orlando Magic of the NBA. Health Communication Inc. of Deerfield Beach, Fla., published this fascinating book. This line on the back cover merits serious consideration: “The lifetime gift of literacy is inside this book. Unleash it!� Read it and learn how to: “(1) Minimize distractions and maximize your reading time. (2) Develop a personalized program to read more often.
(3) Discover how reading can improve your mental well-being, your outlook on life, and your level of success in your career.� Phil Jackson, head coach of the world champion NBA Los Angeles Lakers, writes these words in the foreword to the powerful Pat Williams book: “I grew up in a reading home. My mom was a regular reader, and our house was constantly filled with books on a wide variety of topics. My mother influenced me to start reading when I was five years old. She would tape Scriptures to the wall for us to memorize. In our house, we had the Bible and we had books about the Bible. That’s what I read. Then we got a set of the World Book Encyclopedia, and I read every volume. That love of reading Mom inspired has only grown over the years.� My favorite NBA executive continues with words about this great book: “Reading makes your mind sharp, alive, vibrant. It keeps you on the cutting edge.� He refers to reading as “a safeguard against old age.�
Williams writes about “11 ways to transform your life with books.� He quotes Christopher Morley, early 20thcentury writer and editor, with saying, “The real purpose of books is to trap the mind into doing its own thinking.� Pliny, the Elder, of the first century said of another, “He picked something valuable out of everything he read.� It was Edmund Burke, English orator of the 18th-century, who said: “To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.� John, a disciple of Jesus, wrote: “And I suppose that if all the other events in Jesus’ life were written, the whole world could hardly contain the books!� (John 21:25, The Living Bible) A final caution from Thomas Babington Macaulay, English critic and historian, is worth noting: “A page digested is better than a volume hurriedly read.� Read on, my friend, read on.

given it a name: the Second Great Awakening. These revivals usually STUDYING occurred THE CHURCH in the late summer after the Mark crops were Nickens taken in. â– â– â– Many people had been confined to their farms and had not been out to see friends or even gone to church regularly. So an extended revival was a time of hearing sermons, relaxing, of meeting and making friends (and spouses). Originally, the location was not at the present day Balls Creek. Sometime between 1800 and 1853 a decision was made to move the site to Balls Creek. And the revival has been held at the same spot since (making it 153 years old this year).

rom time-to-time you can see an advertisement for a big tent revival; these usually occur in the summer and autumn and last for a week or more. A local church or churches sponsor the tent revival, which will feature a traveling evangelist or visiting pastor. Sometimes tent revivals occurred over and over again in the same place. In that case, a permanent structure was built, often looking like a large picnic shelter. One revival site still exists which dates from the 1800s: the Balls Creek Campmeeting, below Catawba, NC. This revival runs for two weeks in August, with the middle weekend being the highlight. And the exciting news is that this middle weekend is this weekend, as in right now! Let me describe the Balls Creek Campmeeting in more detail, and then I will give the directions. In the 1790s or early 1800s, Methodists began gathering in Catawba County for revivals. This was a time of great interest in revivals throughout the young United States; so popular, in fact, that historians have

Ryan Denver and Environmental Science teacher Kathy Cooper stand in front of the new outdoor classroom project at High Point Central High School. The project is being developed by the school’s Ecology Club. er Kathy Cooper, it’s an outdoor classroom. When finished, the platform, located adjacent to a softball field, will offer covered-bench seating, enabling environmental and other classes to do outdoor work. “We wanted to do something good for the whole school,” Cooper said. “We do a lot of things
outside, so we decided on the outdoor classroom. I don’t think any other high school in the district has anything like this.” The Lowes chain of home improvement stores gave the PTSA a $5,000 grant last October. Construction started in July. Parents and
grandparents provided labor, supplies and refreshments. Cooper contributed with her labor and a donation. “We got a lot of student help,” Cooper said. “And materials have mysteriously appeared for us.” A school survey offered some classroom
possibilities. “It could be used for drama classes and even social studies,” Cooper said. “It would be great for outdoor seminars.” “That would be a lot more interesting than sitting in a monotonous class,” said senior Ryan Denver, who also donated to the project.
The structure also could be a focal point for landscaping improvements, Cooper said. “We could put in a rock river to help direct the water through this drainage area for a more aesthetic appeal,” she said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626
County may explore agency mergers BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – County officials could be on course in the next few weeks to take another look at the possible benefits of consolidating human service agencies. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners first considered the idea during a January retreat, but settled on working for more streamlining and consolidated intake services for the Department of Social Services and the departments of public health and mental health. Guilford County officials

have the authority to follow the lead of Mecklenburg and Wake counties to consolidate those services into one agency with commissioners taking on a larger governance role and with one director reporting to the county manager. Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of
High Point, board vice chairman, favors a staff review which commissioners could discuss as soon as Thursday during a 1 p.m. meeting in the Old Courthouse in Greensboro. “It strikes me as a good idea for staff to put together a plan and some recommended actions,” Arnold
said. “I’d like to see a report by October. We don’t have to follow what Mecklenburg and Wake have done. We can have our own program.” Currently, the administrative boards of the three county agencies hire and fire the department heads and commissioners approve the salaries and raises of the agency leaders. “There is a potential for long-term efficiencies by consolidating the three departments. We could see savings in employment and make service easier for the customers,” Arnold said. “That alone merits a look.”
Experts told commissioners earlier this year that consolidation offers better service, but not necessarily savings. Several commissioners then said they favored independent governing boards for the agencies. The county has been working on an intake computer software package that could support one-stop interviews. By law, sharing personal information has limits. “The law requires a single department if information is to be shared,” Arnold said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626
Report: Home sales sink in July BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Home sales in High Point took double-digit dives in July while home prices saw some stabilization. The Triad Multiple Listings Service reports sales in the city were down 33 percent last month, when 84 units were sold, from the same time last year, when 126 units were sold. Sales also dropped 29 percent compared to June. The average home price in-
creased from $151,321 in June to $165,053 in July. That’s also a 9 percent increase from the same time last year. “It looks like there is some stabilization coming to the market in terms of home prices,” said Ken Wall, president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors. “That’s good news because for most people their equity is in their homes and they are eager to see those prices stabilize.” Wall said the drop in sales is a combination of a seasonal
change as fewer families are moving due to the start of a new school year and a continuing decline of activity that was stirred by the homebuyer’s tax credit that ended in April. The report also shows that a quarter of the homes sold in July cost $200,000 or more. Ed Terry, HPRAR executive president, said the price range has seen little activity in recent months. “This is a very clear sign that move-up buyers are entering the market that was recently dominated by the first-time buyers

seeking the federal tax credit,” he said. There were 99 pending home sales in High Point last month - a nine percent increase from June. HPRAR began tracking pending units this year. Home sales for the Triad as a whole also saw double digit dives. Sales were down 24 percent from the same time last year and down 38 percent from June. The average home sale price in the Triad is $168,703. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Reward upped to $100K in Short murders RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Authorities investigating the 2002 slayings of a Southside Virginia family increased the reward for information that cracks the case to $100,000 Friday, but the fattened prize will only be available for a limited time. Henry County Sheriff Lane Perry said the increased reward, which is good through February, is an attempt to shake loose information about the murders of Michael, Mary and Jennifer Short. “We firmly believe that there are a couple people out there that have key information that we need to know that they’re not letting go of,” Perry said. “This is an opportunity for someone to do the right thing to bring a heinous killer to justice and to obtain life-changing money in the process. “What it offers a community and a family is closure, healing and solution.” Sunday will mark eight years since Michael and Mary Short were found dead inside their ranch home in Bassett, along busy U.S. 220. Michael, 50, was found dead in his garage, while Mary, 36, was inside the home. Both had been shot in the head. The remains of the couple’s 9-year-old daughter, Jennifer, were found six weeks later in Rockingham County, N.C., about 30 miles south of her home. She also died from a single gunshot wound to the head. The small, wooden bridge that covered her remains was later renamed the “Jennifer Renee Short Memorial Bridge.” Last year, authorities released a sketch of a man seen near the couple’s home the morning that Michael and Mary Short’s bodies were discovered and asked for help locating former employees of Michael Short’s mobile home moving business. Investigators also recently traveled to South Carolina, where the Shorts planned to move so Michael Short could relocate his business.
SBI concludes agent’s report violated practices RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s top law enforcement agency has concluded that one of its agents violated its practices when he changed a report in a murder case without telling anyone and bolstered the prosecution’s case. In a letter obtained by The Associated Press, Erik Hooks of the SBI’s professional standards division said he believes “a second separate report concerning the re-examination of evidence should have been issued” by Special Agent Gerald Thomas. He also said the SBI concluded that Thomas didn’t adhere to the SBI’s administrative practices. The letter, dated July 6, was sent to Brad Ban-
non, one of the attorneys who represented Dr. Kirk Turner on charges that he killed his wife. Turner, a dentist with a practice in Clemmons, said he killed his wife in self-defense after she attacked him with a 7-foot spear in September 2007 at their home in Davie County. A jury acquitted him last year, finding him not guilty by reason of self-defense. Thomas’ actions in the case were first made public this week by The News & Observer of Raleigh, which said Thomas reported initially that the bloodstain pattern on Turner’s T-shirt “was consistent with a bloody hand being wiped on the surface of the shirt.” The newspaper’s story was part of its series on
the SBI. Thomas then changed the report – but kept the same Sept. 14, 2007, date on it – to say the bloodstain “was consistent with a pointed object, consistent with a knife, being wiped on the surface of the shirt” but left the same date on the report, the newspaper reported. The latter theory coincided with that of prosecutors, who said Turner killed his wife, Jennifer, then wiped his knife on his shirt. Prosecutors claimed he staged the scene by ramming the spear’s 18-inch blade twice through his thigh. To verify the prosecution’s theory, Thomas and another agent, Duane Deaver, conducted two tests which they recorded on video, the newspaper said.

NC farmers set cotton production record F
rom the 1600s through 1926, cotton was king and a big cash crop in the Southern states. In 1925, North Carolina grew more than 1.9 million acres of cotton. But cotton did not originate in North Carolina. When Columbus discovered America in 1492, he found cotton growing in the Bahama Islands. Colonists were growing cotton along the James River in Virginia by 1616. But then, the horrid boll weevil came along and ate up the buds on the cotton plants, and cotton almost disappeared from North Carolina. Last year, N.C. farmers planted about 375,000 acres for a crop value of about $203.5 million. Due to new genetic cotton that resists the boll weevil and can survive spraying with glyphosate weedkiller to kill field weeds, last year produced a record 990 pounds per acre. Very little non-transgenic cotton is now being grown in
North Carolina. “Roundup Ready� cotton is any variety of transgenic cotton containing the gene that imparts resistance ECOLOGY to the herbicide glyphosate Gwyn (trade name Riddick Roundup). ■■■Roundup Ready varieties were grown on 95 percent of North Carolina’s acreage in 2004. North Carolina ranks fifth in cotton production in the U.S. with about 6 percent of the total production behind such states as Texas, Arkansas and Georgia. The cotton fiber is basically used to manufacture textiles. Even the cotton seed, which is extracted during the ginning process, is crushed to produce cooking oil and animal feed. Originally, the cotton fiber was used to produce clothing. With changing technology,
cotton fiber and cotton seed by-products are used in a variety of consumer products. Consumption is increasing in cotton products due to global demands. Cotton in North Carolina is mostly grown in the Piedmont and the Coastal Plains of east. According to Cotton Inc., cotton provides cool and comfortable clothing, other textiles, animal feed, cottonseed oil, biomass fuels and numerous other products. It’s a resource that is natural, renewable – and recyclable. Cotton Inc. has posted some oil spill cleanup guidelines on its website: The Deepwater Horizon oil spill has been deemed the greatest environmental disaster in U.S. history. Because the Gulf of Mexico arcs across the southern-most borders of the U.S. cotton belt, the spill is of particular concern to the cotton industry. There has been much press and speculation on what role cotton and cotton
ginning byproducts (CGB) could play in the Gulf cleanup efforts. The hydrophobic and oleophilic nature of cotton and cotton ginning byproducts make them viable choices for water-surface oil clean-up. These natural traits allow raw cotton products to absorb high volumes of oil, while remaining afloat for retrieval. But with more than 31,000 absorbent products and ideas waiting to be reviewed by BP and the U.S. government, it will take a while for cotton to be approved. If you want to learn firsthand more about cotton, visit the 12th Annual Touchstone Energy N.C. Cotton Festival in downtown Dunn scheduled for Nov. 6 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. There will be more than 140 food and craft vendors as well as entertainment on two separate stages and rides for the children. Noah’s Landing will have a variety of their exotic animals. There also will
be a classic car and motorcycle show. According to festival organizers, “The Cotton Festival is Dunn, North Carolina’s annual celebration of the farmer and in particular the cotton farmer and their contributions as well as the cotton farming and harvesting heritage that plays an important role in the Dunn area. It is a time to put the spotlight on downtown Dunn, a growing and thriving area of commercial and retail development. It’s also a lot of fun for the whole family, from the little cotton blossom all the way to the big cotton bales.� GWYN RIDDICK is a North Carolina Certified Plantsman and registered landscape contractor.

PET OF THE WEEK
Teen longs for baby to fill hole in her broken heart D
ear Abby: I am a girl who has had my heart broken for the first time. I know I should get over this boy, but I can’t stop thinking about him. My mom loved him. We hung out every weekend for six months. I thought I might have been pregnant. I’m not – but I want to be. I know I’m not ready to be a mom, but I want someone to love me and depend on me. I need someone who won’t leave me. I know my baby wouldn’t. Should I become a mom? How do I get over my boyfriend? Do I stop talking to him and just be his friend? Abby, tell me the right way. – Lovesick in Yucca Valley, Calif. Dear Lovesick: Becoming a mother is not the way out of your heartache. Any young woman considering having a child must ask herself how she can provide financially and emotionally for that child. Most teenaged girls who become pregnant do not complete their high school education, and it has a negative impact
on their ability to provide for themselves and their children. The right way ADVICE to work through Dear this Abby breakup ■■■is to talk to your mother or another trusted adult about your feelings. Stop trying to maintain contact with your former boyfriend. To continue will only prolong your pain. Dedicate yourself to achieving the most you can for yourself in sports and academics. It will give you less time to brood, and the more you achieve the more soughtafter you will become. It won’t happen overnight. It will take time, concentration and dedication. If you take my advice you will come out of this disappointment a much happier person. But having a baby is NOT the answer. Dear Abby: Eight months ago I began a weight-loss program the same week as my best
friend, “Darby.� We both have the same amount to lose, but she is using an expensive “liquid fast� combined with a private personal trainer at a gym. She has already spent a few thousand dollars. I am working completely on my own, and have lost 30 pounds. Darby has lost 32. She came over to visit and brought with her a huge stack of her old clothes, saying they no longer fit, but implying they would fit me! I do weigh a bit more than she does, but I am 4 inches taller. I was offended, but too shocked to say anything. I put the clothes in my coat closet to dispose of later. What should I have said to my “friend�? I am really hurt. – Insulted in San Francisco Dear Insulted: How about this? “Thank you. Perhaps I can have them taken in or lengthened – or save them for a short, fat friend.� Dear Abby: When I am the guest in someone’s car, I always offer money for gas – $20 if it’s a day-long trip, for example. If I’m short of
cash, I’ll tell the driver in advance and contribute once I get the money. I know someone who seldom contributes money for gas when we travel long-distance together. He’s not unemployed or financially strapped, either. Is this rude on his part? – Sightseer in Jersey City Dear Sightseer: It qualifies as insensitive – and possibly cheap. Before agreeing to another jaunt with this person, be sure you have an agreement in advance about how much he will be ponying up for petrol.

A
round now is when many gardeners – and perhaps you are among them – start complaining about their squash plants, about how they looked healthy, and then all of a sudden flagged and took a turn toward death. You can deal with the problem – but mostly for next year. The best time for action was earlier this season. An insect called the “squash vine borer,� lodged in the stem, is responsible for your squash’s wilting. How that insect got there is a story that began in spring or early summer, when a pretty moth with an orange and black body crept out of the soil, stretched its copperygreen and clear wings, and looked around for a mate. She evidently
found one, and soon after that sought out your squash plants. Instead of squash, she also might have settled, in decreasing order of preference, for a gourd, cucumber or melon plant. Upon finding a suitable plant, she proceeded to lay her fertilized eggs on the stems or leaf stalks near the base of the plant, eggs which, within a week, hatched into larvae. The larvae bored into the stems, and ate so much that there eventually was not enough stem tissue to conduct water to the leaves. Voila! The leaves went limp, and that’s what grabbed your attention. Take a look at the base of the stem now, and you will see a hole out of which has poured some sawdustlike frass. We can fight this pest in a few ways. Because the moth only lays eggs early in the season, late plant-
ings never pick up larvae. Thoroughly composting the infested stems also helps if it gets the larvae before they leave the stem to return to the soil, which they do after about six weeks of feeding. Another approach is to turn the moth away before she ever lays an egg on a squash plant. A floating row cover – or any other lightweight mesh material – allows water, light and air to pass, but not Walshia micecolorella (that’s the moth’s real name). The covering is only needed early in the season, during egg-laying, and, anyway, needs to be removed later so that bees can pollinate the blossoms. A physical barrier is 100 percent effective, but you could, instead, try repellents. Some gardeners claim that Ms. Walshia will avoid plants that reek of camphor, black pepper or turpentine.

CONCLUSION South lost his grip at Trick One. Assuming West’s six is his fourthhighest spade, the reality is that he must hold the queen. (South can reach the same conclusion by applying the “Rule of 11.”) So South should dump his king under East’s ace. If East-West clear the spades, South can win the third spade with the jack to finesse in diamonds. He can return to dummy for two more finesses, winning four diamonds, two hearts, two clubs and a spade.

Try not to push anyone you care about or you may meet with opposition or even worse, alienation. For now, listen and observe. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Tie up loose ends so you can start anew. There is ground to cover if you are to figure out a way to raise your standard of living. Joining forces with someone who has the potential to add to what you have to offer will benefit you both. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A creative idea you have will lead to financial gain. Don’t be afraid to take on a unique project. Not everyone will get what you are trying to do but the person who does will become your ally and partner in the venture. ★★★★★

BRIDGE
I suspect that some people who insist they have a firm grip on reality are really in the act of strangling it. Against 3NT West led the six of spades to East’s ace. South played low on the spade return, and West took his queen and led a third spade to the king. South next led a heart to dummy and returned a diamond to his queen. The finesse won, so he led a club to dummy for a second diamond finesse. South then had to take the ace – dummy had no more entries – and when West discarded, South won only eight tricks.
HOROSCOPE
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 10 5 H A 6 2 D 9 8 2 C A 5 3 2. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond 1NT, he bids two clubs and you raise to three clubs. Partner next bids three spades. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner is testing the game waters; he has “bid out his pattern” to help you evaluate your prospects. Since your ace of hearts appears to be a perfect card opposite his presumed singleton, jump to five clubs. Your partner may hold K 9 4, 4, A K Q 6 4, K 10 6 4. South dealer Both sides vulnerable
ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Knee injury requires doctor’s intervention D
ear Dr. Donohue: My son, 13, is an avid tennis player. I was watching him play the other day and noticed he was moving awkwardly. Then I watched him when he was at home, and he walked kind of funny. I asked him about this, and he said his knee hurt. He didn’t bang it or injure it. He said it started about a week ago. He doesn’t want to see a doctor. Should he? What could this be? – M.M.
BLONDIE
Yes, he should see a doctor. He might have a common injury of young athletes, osteochondritis dissecans. The inner cartilage covering the knee joint and the bone beneath it separate from the main body of the bone, the tibia – the larger of the two leg bones. It can happen on either side of the knee. Pain on weightbearing is the prominent symptom. The cause is believed to be repetitive microtrauma to the knee, something that is quite possible to an avid tennis player. It happens to children between the ages of 9 and 18. It also can happen to adults, but not as commonly. If this is the diagnosis, the boy must rest the knee. Usually, a knee brace is applied to protect the knee from further stress. The period of bracing lasts four to six weeks. Then, if things are going

well, the brace is removed, but the boy faces another four to six weeks of HEALTH limited leg use. Dr. Paul If the Donohue separation ■■■ is great, surgical intervention is the treatment. This kind of injury happens to other bones, too. The elbow is an example. Little Leaguer’s elbow is the name given to the same process when it occurs in the elbow joint. I can’t be dogmatic about the diagnosis for your son. Other injuries cause similar pain. Stress fractures – tiny breaks in the bone – produce the same symptoms. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have type 2 diabetes and take oral medicine for it, and I am on a diabetic diet. I haven’t done much exercise since I was diagnosed. Would it be safe for me to exercise? – L.H. Not only is exercise safe for you, you are encouraged to exercise regularly. With type 2 diabetes, people often make enough insulin, but their body cells don’t respond to it as they should. This is called insulin insensitivity. Blood sugar rises
because of it. Fat plays a major role in insulin insensitivity. Reducing body fat increases cells’ response to insulin. Exercise gets rid of body fat. You do have to be careful about a blood-sugar drop when you start a program of exercise that you aren’t used to. Carry sugar, raisins or a drink with carbohydrates with you. If you begin to sweat excessively or feel woozy, get some sugar in you quickly. If you have your own unit for testing blood sugar, check your blood before, during and after you exercise. Do this a couple of times to find out what’s going on with your sugar levels. You will have evidence if there’s a dangerous drop in your sugar. Australian native people, when living in their home locations, rarely have a problem with diabetes. They lead physically active lives there. When they move to the city, many develop diabetes because they are less active. If they return home to their more strenuous existence, their diabetes often is cured. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Kahne wins Michigan pole
DON DAVIS JR. | HPE
The heat is on Thomasville football player Breyon Watkins tries to keep his cool at the team’s picture day on Friday.
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) – Kasey Kahne’s future has been settled. The present doesn’t look too bad for him, either. After finally finding out where he’ll be driving next season, Kahne turned in an impressive performance for his current team Friday, with a lap of 187.183 mph to win the pole position for Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway. Kahne isn’t sure whether facing an unsettled future affected his driving in recent weeks, but he does know it’s nice to know he’ll be driving for Red Bull Racing next season. “I don’t know how much that’s been on my mind,” Kahne said. “It’s hard to say. I feel like I’m focused pretty good each week and really trying to do the right thing. It’s something I definitely think about a lot. So I think that can help me some.” It is Kahne’s second pole of the season and the 18th of his career. Jimmie Johnson qualified second, followed by Clint Bowyer, Tony
Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya. It has been a big week for Kahne, who currently drives for Richard Petty Motorsports but has signed a contract with HenKahne drick Motorsports. Because Hendrick doesn’t have a seat open in 2011, it was announced this week that Kahne will spend next season with Red Bull. Kahne said he is looking forward to the move. “I want to win races and I want to run competitively and make the Chase – things that I think you can do there,” Kahne said. “Red Bull has shown that they can do (it) in the past. I feel like we’ll be able to do it next year.” For now, Kahne is trying to finish the season strong for his current team. Bowyer’s run was a boost for a team that comes into Sunday’s race 13th in the points and is scrambling to become eligible for the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Wake targets secondary improvement R
edshirt sophomore cornerback Kenny Okoro didn’t sugarcoat his assessment. Talking about the overall play of Wake Forest’s secondary of which he was a part last season, Okoro delivered an opinion that many watching the Demon Deacons shared. “We just didn’t have a real good season,” the Greensboro Dudley product said as he stood SPORTS in the middle of BB&T Field during Greer Wake’s media day Smith last Saturday. “We ■■■ were young and inexperienced.” Head coach Jim Grobe was afraid the youth would be a weak link in 2008 after the graduation of a veteran group led by secondround draft pick Alphonso Smith. He was right. The Deacons experienced their share of growing pains, ranking ninth in the ACC and 61st in the country in passing defense after giving up 218.8 yards per game. Wake allowed 21 passing touchdowns (which tied for second worst behind Miami’s 23) and came up with just nine interceptions (which tied Miami for second fewest). They gave up 276 yards to a Stanford offense that usually ran, 307 to Maryland, 330 to Miami and 387 to Duke. The yards allowed average was helped when Navy didn’t attempt a pass in a driving rainstorm and Georgia Tech completed just four. The breakdowns helped contribute to a 5-7 record, Wake’s first losing season in four years. Youth shouldn’t be an excuse this season. Okoro, a starter in

State’s Donald Bowens, during the second half of the Deacons’ 30-24 win in Winston-Salem in this Oct. 3, 2009 photo. Big plays were few and far between for Wake’s secondary last season. The Deacs hope for more secondary success in 2010. the last seven games last year, entered preseason drills listed as the youngest starter in the secondary, which gets a big boost from the return of senior Alex Frye, who dealt the defense a blow last year when he was suspended for three game in the middle of the season and stayed in Grobe’s dog house until returning to the starting lineup for the last two games. Frye and Okoro will line up at cornerback with redshirt juniors Cryl Quarles and Josh Bush at the safeties. Quarles started all 11 games last year. Grobe was forced to start Bush while dealing with Frye’s troubles. “This year we’re turning from
a young team to a veteran team,” Quarles said. Relying on experience won’t be enough for the improvements the Deacons need to make, said Okoro, who provided some of the brightest moments last year with three interceptions. “We have matured and learned the game more,” Okoro said. ”But we need to stay in the film room a lot more because the game is won in the film room. If we do that, we can learn more tendencies and learn what is coming before it happens. Ultimately, the receiver has the advantage over us. They know what route they want to run and we have to follow them. So, this
will help us stay a step ahead.” In addition to that, Quarles and Okoro believe the unit must mesh together with better communication. “We just need to communicate more,” Quarles said. “We need to believe in our coaches, believe in ourselves. It’s all about beliefs, believing that God will pull us through. “We lost close games last year, due to maybe we could have gone harder more weights or gone harder in practice or we could have ran faster. We want to close that gap and fill in where we left off last year.” They have plenty of gaps to fill. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556
HIT AND RUN
---
I
t seems big-league players rarely triple their pleasure these days. In an era dominated by power pitchers and power hitters, the art of the three-base hit appears to be an almost lost one. I wanted to make sure I was right in that perception, so I dusted off the Major League record book and discovered the golden age of the triple did in fact end about 110 years ago. Sam Crawford holds the big-league record for career triples, with 309 in a career that saw him play in both leagues. The American League-only record is 295 by Ty Cobb. Legendary shortstop Honus Wagner owns the NL-only record with 252. Amazingly, the top 18 and 28 of the top
30 on the all-time career triples list played before 1930. In fact, 18 of the top 30 played the bulk of their careers before 1900. The only modern names on the list? Stan Musial in a tie for 19th with 177 and Roberto Clemente with 166 to rank 27th. It’s a similar story for single-season triples. Chief Wilson of the Pittsburgh Pirates ranks as the Babe Ruth of single-season three-baggers with a record 36 in 1912. That year also saw the Chief become the only big-leaguer to triple in five straight games. The pre-1920 dominance is even more pronounced in this part of the category. Of the top 32 single-season triple totals, only two oc-
curred after 1930. Curtis Granderson shares 22nd with 23 triples for the Tigers in 2007. Seventeen of the top 32 single-season triple tallies came pre-1900. By contrast, only two players since 1986 have recorded as many as 20 triples in a season – Granderson and Cristian Guzman (20 with the Twins in 2000). The active career triples leader is Carl Crawford with 99. Johnny Damon and Jimmy Rollins have 97 each. No other active player has 90 career triples. Ah, the glorious days of the dead ball.

Chipper plans surgery, wants to attempt comeback ATLANTA (AP) – Chipper Jones said Friday he will report to spring training next year with the Braves as he attempts a comeback from major knee surgery. Jones, speaking for the first time since the team announced he tore his left ACL and will miss the rest of the season, said he will have surgery on the knee today. The 38-year-old Jones says now is not the right time to “make a decision to quit.� “I’m going to go through the process just like I’m getting ready for spring training,� he said. “I don’t know how the knee is going to respond. “I’ll try to get ready for spring training and we’ll see how it feels after that.� The expected recovery time is about six months, giving him a chance to be ready for spring training in 2011. Jones said earlier this season he would consider retirement after the season.
Matt Kuchar reacts after missing a birdie putt on the 15th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship on Friday at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wis. Kuchar stands at 8-under 136 through 36 holes and has a one-stroke clubhouse lead. The second round was delayed by fog and will conclude today.
A long, strange day at the PGA SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) – Matt Kuchar made a birdie on the first hole he played Friday to take the lead, and that’s where he wound up at the end of another long day at the PGA Championship. What it meant was as clear as the cloudy, darkening sky over Whistling Straits. Kuchar nearly holed out again from the 13th fairway on his way
to a 69 that gave him a one-shot lead over Nick Watney, although half the field didn’t finish the second round and some players didn’t get past the fourth hole. In the most disjointed major of the year, Tiger Woods had breakfast three times before teeing off in the first round, and he teed off around dinnertime in the second round. He was 1-under when play was halted.
Wyndham adds Leonard, Baddeley ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
GREENSBORO – Justin Leonard and Aaron Baddeley have joined the Wyndham Championship field, the tournament announced Friday. Leonard and Baddeley join an entry list that includes world No. 14 Anthony Kim, 2008 Masters winner Trevor Immelman, 1992 Masters winner Fred Couples, 2009 U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover, two-time Wyndham winners Davis Love III and Rocco Mediate, John Daly, David Duval, David Toms, Mike Weir, Boo Weekly, Chris DiMarco and the last three Wyndham Championship winners, Ryan
Moore, Carl Pettersson and Brandt Snedeker. Leonard is 114th in the current FedExCup point standings and will try to stay in the top 125 and qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs. Baddeley is currently 87th in FedExCup points. The 29-year-old Australian has two PGA TOUR wins and four international victories. His best finished this season was a tie for third at Valero Texas Open. Baddeley is making his fourth Wyndham Championship appearance. Brendan Gielow, a former AllAmerican at Wake Forest, has received a sponsor’s exemption and will make his PGA Tour debut next week.
Semifinals set in U.S. Women’s Amateur CHARLOTTE (AP) – Danielle Kang defeated Sydnee Michaels on the first hole of a playoff Friday and advanced to the semifinals of the U.S. Women’s Amateur. Kang will face Jennifer Kirby, who beat Kristen Park 6 and 4. Stephanie Sherlock, a 2 and 1 winner against Junthima Gulyanamitta, will face Jessica Korda, who eliminated Erynne Lee 4 and 3. Kang, one of two Americans still
in contention, had a chance to close her match in regulation but missed a putt and swung her club in disgust. She nailed the green in two on No. 10 immediately afterward for a much smoother finish. The forecast for today’s semifinals at Charlotte Country Club calls for muggy but cooler weather in the upper 70s, with a chance of thunderstorms. The final 36 holes are Sunday.
Braig out as Daytona Speedway president ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Robin Braig was replaced as president of Daytona International Speedway on Friday. A release from DIS operator International Speedway Corporation said that Braig was out effective immediately. Joe Chitwood Jr., a former Indianapolis Speedway president, was named as Briag’s successor. The change comes during the repaving of the 51-year-old track.
3C
The release said Braig left to pursue other opportunities. Braig was the track’s president for seven years. “I would also like to thank Robin for his passion and dedication to the speedway and to promoting motorsports,� ISC chief executive Lesa France Kenneday said in the statement. Chitwood, 41, has been Vice President of Business Development for ISC since 2009. In this position, he led strategic development and oversaw business execution across
the company’s 13 motorsports facilities and a catering, concessions and merchandising subsidiary. Before joining the IMS executive staff, Chitwood was Vice President and General Manager of Raceway Associates, LLC, which oversaw construction and operation of the 1.5-mile Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill., from 1999-2002. Also of note, Chitwood, beginning at the age of five, was an integral part of his family’s motorsports entertainment business, the well-known Chitwood Thrill Show.
Instead of preparing to drive just a few laps in Sunday’s Cup race at Michigan International Speedway, Dave Blaney is in Iowa wheeling a sprint car at the Knoxville Nationals. The change isn’t temporary. After a season and two thirds, Blaney is through serving as a “start-and-park� driver in the No. 66 Prism Motorsports Toyotas owned by Phil Parsons and Randy Humphrey. “It just wore me down,� Blaney said in a telephone interview while watching rain fall at the Iowa track. He is worn down because the team never got enough sponsorship to afford more than going a few laps in just about each race. In 47 starts, Blaney got a chance to go the distance just twice – in the Coca-Cola 600 last year and at Las Vegas this year. “I just needed a change,� Blaney said. “I like the guys on the team and everything. I wanted to help build something. But, they never could come up with sponsorship and it doesn’t look they will any time soon.� Scott Riggs replaced Blaney this weekend. “I really don’t have anything,� Blaney said. “I’d love a good truck or Nationwide ride if it would come along.�
Blaney is racing in Iowa for a team out of Pennsylvania. “ I ‘ v e Blaney raced for the guy eight times this season just trying to get back into sprint car racing,� Blaney said. “We decided to drag it out here and see what we could do.� The Knoxville Nationals is one of the richest sprint car races of the year, with a purse of over $1 million for four nights of racing. Races on Wednesday and Thursday help set the field for today’s 50-lap “A main,� which has a first prize of $150,000. Blaney qualified second fastest on Wednesday but failed to make the A main that night. He must qualify for tonight’s A main through the B main. “I think we’ve got a fast car,� Blaney said. “We’ll just see what we can do with it.� After this weekend is over, Blaney is unsure what he might race. He said that his upcoming plans will likely include watching his son Ryan try to stretch his tworace winning streak in the PASS Late Model series. “I’m kind of open to anything right now,� Blaney said. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556
Having lost vision in one eye, Roush back at track BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) – NASCAR team owner Jack Roush was back at the racetrack Friday, having permanently lost vision in his left eye but otherwise feeling lucky to survive yet another plane crash. And yes, he expects to fly again. Roush, who crashed his jet just over two weeks ago while trying to land at an air show in Wisconsin, said he ruptured his left eyeball in the crash and doesn’t expect to ever be able to see out of it again. “Everything will come back, except for the eye,� he told reporters at Michigan International Speedway. Roush then joked that he uses his right eye to exam-
ine spark plugs anyway. Wearing sunglasses and his trademark Roush Panamastyle hat, Roush was present on pit road for qualifying. He had left the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., earlier this week. In addition to his eye injury, Roush said he broke his jaw, sustained a compression fracture in his back and hurt his left cheek. Roush, an aviation buff who survived another crash in 2002, praised the plane’s safety characteristics and acknowledged his remarkable good luck.
UNC hires attorney as consultant for NCAA probe CHAPEL HILL (AP) – North Carolina has hired an attorney who was a former NCAA staffer as a consultant as it deals with an investigation into the football program.

Merriman signs tender, reports to Chargers SAN DIEGO (AP) – Shawne Merriman ended his holdout Friday and signed his $3,269,000, one-year tender with the San Diego Chargers. The star outside linebacker had been staying away from training camp because he apparently wanted assurances he won’t be traded this season.
Merriman broke the news in a tweet. “Just signed my tender and glad to be back with my teammates thanks to everyone,” he wrote. The team confirmed it in a news release about an hour later. General manager A.J. Smith, not a fan of Merriman’s celebrity-leaning off-field pursuits,
didn’t return a call seeking comment. The Chargers had a walkthrough scheduled for late Friday morning in advance of their exhibition opener tonight against the Chicago Bears. It’ll be the Chargers’ first action since their embarrassing 17-14 playoff loss to the New York Jets.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Hunter Cantwell is sacked by Ravens defensive tackle Kelly Talavou and defensive end Paul Kruger during the second half of Thursday night’s preseason game in Baltimore. The Ravens won 17-12.
Ravens ground sluggish Panthers BALTIMORE (AP) – Joe Flacco took his new offense on a test drive against the Carolina Panthers, and had a smooth ride. Flacco produced two scores in an abbreviated appearance, and the Ravens’ defense held Carolina without a touchdown in a 17-12 preseason victory Thursday night. Flacco went 8 for 12 for 120 yards and a TD. He guided Baltimore to a field goal in his first series, then went three-andout before directing a 96-yard drive that ended with a 30-yard touchdown pass to Mark Clayton. “We need to clean some things up, but overall it was a good start,” Flacco said. The Panthers, conversely, stumbled from the outset and never recovered. Starting quarterback Matt Moore – hindered by poor protection and three penalties against left tackle Jordan Gross totaling 25 yards – failed to produce any points during his three possessions. Backup Jimmy Clausen went 8 for 15 for 80 yards and an interception in his informal NFL debut. He was sacked twice. “There were good things that happened and definitely some things I need to work on,” the rookie said. “But overall it was good to get out there with bullets flying around for the first time.” Carolina turned the ball over on a fumble at the goal line by running back Tyrell Sutton that Baltimore recovered on its own 1. “I thought offensively we killed ourselves a little bit with some penalties, the fumble down at the 1,” coach John Fox said. “I thought we moved the ball efficiently. We hurt ourselves some, but we had a lot of young guys out there.” A torrential rain began in the third quarter, causing a sloppy game to become even messier. Carolina’s lone touchdown came when C.J. Wilson took a fumble by fourth-string running back Jalen Par-
mele into the end zone from 31 yards. John Kasay missed the extra point, leaving Carolina down 10-9. Later in the quarter, Baltimore’s Prince Miller broke seven tackles during a 57-yard punt return. That set up an 8-yard touchdown run by Troy Smith for a 17-9 lead. In an effort to bolster a passing game that last season relied too heavily on dumpoffs to Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice, the Ravens added wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Donte’ Stallworth. They also spread out the alignment to take advantage of Flacco’s skilled right arm. Baltimore amassed 196 yards in offense in the first half, only 22 of them on the ground. Rice started but did not touch the ball. “The offense looked pretty good,” said running back Willis McGahee, who had four catches during the 96-yard drive. “I think we’re where we want to be at this point in time, but we still have a lot of work to do. We need to do a better job blocking for the quarterback; still, we’re all happy that we kept moving the ball down the field.” After a sack by safety Tom Zbikowski ended Carolina’s opening series, Flacco completed a 23-yard pass to Derrick Mason on Baltimore’s first play from scrimmage. The third-year quarterback then hit Clayton for 18 yards on third-and-10 to set up a 32-yard field goal by free agent pickup Shayne Graham. Late in the first quarter, after a punt pinned the Ravens on their 4, Flacco went 6 for 6 for 79 yards in a 10-play drive that put Baltimore ahead 10-0. His initial completion of the drive was a 12yarder to Boldin, and Clayton’s reception in the end zone took place in front of Captain Munnerlyn. “Mark was one-on-one on the edge,” Flacco said. “I just had to give time to get on top of the guy, and he made an unbelievable play.”
Carroll, Bradford get started CASH FOR GOLD
For those with little interest in NFL preseason football, understanding the excitement Pete Carroll and Sam Bradford are feeling is impossible. It should be understandable considering Carroll will coach his first pro game in a decade and Bradford will play in his first NFL game tonight. Enticed by $30 million and full power of football operations, Carroll left behind a dynasty at Southern California to become coach-vice president of the Seattle Seahawks. He’ll lead them against the Tennessee Titans at
Qwest Field, his first game on an NFL sideline since Jan. 2, 2000 at the helm of the Patriots. Before his three seasons in New England, Carroll coached the Jets for a year. Folks in St. Louis will get to see how far top overall draft choice Bradford has come when the Rams host Minnesota. Bradford won’t start – coach Steve Spagnuolo will go with journeyman A. J. Feeley for a dozen or so plays before Bradford. Also tonight will be Tampa Bay at Miami; Detroit at Pittsburgh; Cleveland at Green Bay; Houston at Arizona; and Chicago at San Diego.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) – Though Charles Barkley and his Dream Team mates engaged in some “serious trash talk” with their 1960 counterparts, he and Jerry West could both agree: There was nothing like winning a gold medal on a great team. “Not a day goes by that I don’t think about those days,” West said Friday morning. “The greatest thrill of my life was to win a gold medal, not to win an NBA championship.” Barkley and his teammates won theirs 32 years later, and now the teams are entering the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame together. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were among eight players from the famed 1992 U.S. squad who attended a morning press conference. Michael Jordan wasn’t there, but is scheduled to be at the enshrinement ceremony at Symphony Hall. Barkley called the summer of 1992 one of the greatest times of his life, and pointed to its 10 individual Hall of Famers as proof of the team’s greatness. So were the team’s eye-popping stats: 117.3 points per game, a victory margin of 43.8 per game. Still, Barkley said it wasn’t quite that easy. Dream Teamers Karl Malone and Scottie Pippen also are being inducted as individuals. “Think about it. To go in as a player and as a team ... it’s just awesome,”
Malone said on Friday morning. Cynthia Cooper, the first Hall of Famer from the WNBA, coach Bob Hurley of St. Anthony’s High School in New Jersey, and Lakers owner Jerry Buss are being inducted. Dennis Johnson, former Baltimore Bullets star Gus Johnson and Brazilian Maciel “Ubiratan” Pereira are being enshrined posthumously. Dennis Johnson, who died in 2007, was a favorite teammate of Bird’s and well-respected by opponents for his tenacious defensive play. His wife, Donna, cried as she tried to say how she proud she was and offer thanks for her husband’s long-awaited induction. The focus this year was on team more than individual. Oscar Robertson and the rest of the living players from the 1960 champions also are in Springfield, including Hall of Famers Walt Bellamy and Jerry Lucas. That group of college players went 80 in Rome, winning by 42.4 points per game. Eventually, the college guys weren’t good enough. Professionals were first used in 1992 and the Americans fielded a team that may never be seen again. With Malone and Pippen being inducted, it leaves only Chris Mullin, a finalist this year, and Christian Laettner as the only players from the Dream Team who aren’t in the Hall as individuals. Barkley expects Mullin to get in, and called Laettner one of the greatest college players ever.

Auto sales boost retail sector WASHINGTON (AP) – Americans spent less at most retail stores in July and inflation remained tame as high unemployment and weak job growth fueled fears of a slowing economic recovery. A busy month for car dealerships and higher gas prices lifted overall retail sales 0.4 percent last month, the Commerce Department said Friday. It was the first overall gain in three months. Still, most retailers reported declines. Excluding autos and gasoline sales — which accounted for one-fourth of the July figures — retail sales fell 0.1 percent last month. Sales were down 1 percent at department stores and also

FDA: China improving safety SHANGHAI (AP) — The head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says China is improving its oversight of its exporters following a slew of scandals over bogus or substandard drugs and foods ranging from vaccines and infant formula to dog chow. FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said Friday that Chinese officials she spoke with during her first visit to China since she was appointed were pursuing a “common agenda� to improve manufacturing practices and regulation of complex supply chains for the food and drug industries.
Oil stuck below $76 per barrel NEW YORK (AP) – Gasoline prices are now a penny below where they were a week ago and could head lower after a retreat in oil prices over the past few days. Benchmark crude for September delivery fell 35 cents to $75.39 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
J.C. Penney cuts profit outlook NEW YORK (AP) – J.C. Penney Co. cut its profit outlook for the rest of the year, a sign of jitters that Americans, still stinging from the recession and worried about jobs, aren’t going to spend more any time soon. The reduced outlook came Friday as Penney reported a second-quarter profit as it benefited from tight inventory controls and exclusive store-label brands. Shares fell almost 2 percent, or 40 cents, to $20.40 per share.
dropped at specialty clothing stores, furniture stores, hardware stores and appliance stores. “While retailers have seen a solid gain in activity compared to last year, the more recent three month trend has been negative and that is not good news,� said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3 percent in July, the Labor Department said. But that was mostly because of rising gas prices. After stripping out volatile food and gas prices, the so-called “core� index increased 0.1 percent. Over the past year, consumer prices rose 1.2 percent — the slowest pace in more than four decades.
The Commerce Department also reported that inventories held by businesses rose for a sixth straight month in June. But business sales declined for a second month in a row, another sign of weak demand among consumers. Auto sales represent such a large portion of monthly data and gas sales change rapidly from month to month. So economists prefer to look at the retail sector without those two categories. And retail sales figures are not adjusted for price changes. Broad declines in other retail sales have economists concerned that spending will slow further in the second half of this year.
Fed official: Low rates could backfire LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – The success of Congress’ financial reforms depends on how well regulators implement them, the head of the Federal Reserve’s 10th District said Friday. Thomas Hoenig, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, spoke in Lincoln about the new reform law and the state of the U.S. economy. Hoenig, who also serves on the Federal Open Market Committee that sets interest rates, reiterated Friday that he thinks it may be dangerous to leave interest rates at exceptionally low levels too long. Hoenig has expressed that concern at several recent FOMC meetings, where he has been in the minority. The recession and economic turmoil followed what Hoenig said were years of too-low interest rates, too-much borrowing and lax supervision. The committee this week kept its benchmark interest rate at record-low levels near zero. “If we again leave rates too low, too long, out of our uneasiness over the strength of the recovery
and our intense desire to avoid recession at all costs, we are risking a repeat of past errors and the consequences they bring,� Hoenig said. Hoenig said the reform law includes important provisions, such as prohibiting banks from engaging in risky trading. But he says that restriction needs strong implementation to work. “Regulatory agencies have been given a mandate and authority to strengthen oversight of the largest firms,� Hoenig said. “Success will depend on whether we choose to make hard calls and to use the new authority with integrity, fairness and resolve.� The financial overhaul law that President Barack Obama signed last month gives the government new powers to break up companies that threaten the economy, creates an agency to guard consumers in their financial transactions and strengthens regulation of complex financial instruments such as derivatives. It was aimed at preventing a repeat of the 2008 meltdown that pushed the country into a severe recession.

Stocks fall for 4th day after retail sales report NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks extended their losing streak to four days Friday after a mixed batch of readings on consumers further muddled investors’ sense of the economy. The major stock indexes fluctuated throughout the day before closing slightly lower. The Dow Jones industrial average fell nearly 17 points and has now lost almost 400 over four days. It was a typically slow summer Friday, but only partly due to vacations. Traders who were working had little reason to make any major moves because of economic data that remains confusing. One of the biggest obstacles to a strong economic recovery is weak consumer spending. Friday’s reports about consumers’ attitudes and spending didn’t point to a shopping rebound anytime soon. The Commerce Department said that retail sales rose 0.4 percent in July. That was an improvement after two months of sales declines. But the number was just below economists’ forecast of a gain of 0.5 percent. While the report showed strength in auto sales due to buyers’ incentives, it also showed that consumers are shying away from other purchases. Some better news came from the University of Michigan/Reuters survey of consumer sentiment for the first part of August, which showed consumers are slightly more optimistic.

Vaccine sales rise 16 percent TRENTON, N.J. (AP) – Global sales of vaccines grew by a healthy 16 percent last year, when sales shot up to $22.1 billion, healthcare market research publisher Kalorama Information reported Friday. Its researchers are forecasting vaccine sales will rise at a compound annual rate of 9.7 percent during the next five years, fueled by wider use of current vaccines and introduction of new ones. That would push sales to roughly $35 billion. Sales in 2008 were barely half as
much, at $19 billion. “The vaccine business is not without its risks, but for some companies, vaccines were the only bright spot in their portfolio in 2009,� Kalorama publisher Bruce Carlson said in a statement. “It’s not a surprise therefore that development is heavy in this sector, and that will contribute to growth over the next five years.� Vaccines are a priority research area for several major pharmaceutical companies, including the top two vaccine makers, Merck & Co. and Glaxo-
SmithKline PLC, which overtook Merck for the top spot recently. Besides developing new vaccines, they and other companies are working to boost vaccine sales in heavily populated emerging markets including China and India. Last October, the world’s biggest drugmaker, Pfizer Inc., bought Wyeth for $68 billion partly for its expertise in vaccines – and the roughly $3 billion in annual sales from Wyeth’s Prevnar children’s vaccine. It protects against pneumococcal bacteria that cause diseases from meningitis

to painful ear infections. The world’s top five drugmakers by revenue also dominate the vaccine market: Pfizer, Merck, Novartis AG, Sanofi-Aventis SA’s Sanofi Pasteur unit and GlaxoSmithKline, in descending order. Vaccines, usually given as injections or liquids, rev up the body’s immune system to produce antibodies that can later fight off attempts by bacteria or viruses to infect a person. That can make them a public health bargain, particularly in developing countries.

IBM to buy Unica for $480 million software business, its most profitable division and the main focus of a $20 billion acquisition spree for IBM over the past few years. IBM is paying Unica shareholders $21 per share in cash – more than double Unica’s closing price Thursday of $9.55. In midday trading, Unica shares jumped $11.23 to $20.78 after briefly hitting a 52-week high of $20.80. Shares of International Business Machines Corp. fell 46 cents to $127.84. Unica, based in Waltham, Mass., offers software that automates
the process of predicting customer preferences, designing advertising campaigns based on that information and measuring how effective they are. The rise of the Web as
an advertising platform has heightened demand for marketing that has a measurable impact. And IBM wants to provide the tools for doing that kind of targeting.

Waters releases documents in ethics case
Border security
AP
President Barack Obama signs the Southwest Border Security Bill Friday in the Oval Office of the White House.
President Obama signs $600M bill into law WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama on Friday signed a bill directing $600 million more to securing the U.S.-Mexico border, a modest election-year victory that underscores his failure so far to deliver an overhaul of immigration law. The new law will pay for the hiring of 1,000 more Border Patrol agents to be deployed at critical areas, as well as more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
It provides for new communications equipment and greater use of unmanned surveillance drones. The Justice Department gets more money to help catch drug dealers and human traffickers. But the bill fell short by the standards Obama has set for dealing with the immigration problem. In a speech last month, Obama reiterated his commitment to a comprehensive approach that would secure the border but also address
the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country. “Our borders are just too vast for us to be able to solve the problem only with fences and border patrols,” the president said then. “It won’t work.” Obama signed the bill Friday in a low-key Oval Office ceremony alongside Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. There were cameras present, but no reporters.
WASHINGTON (AP) – A defiant Maxine Waters disputed charges that she violated House ethics rules and released documents Friday that could undercut the complaint that the 10-term California Democrat sought federal money to bail out a bank where her husband owns stock. With midterm elections three months away and no trial date scheduled by the House Ethics Committee, Waters – like her House colleague Charles Rangel of New York – made her case in the court of public opinion. “I have not violated any House rules,” the senior member of the House Financial Services Committee told a news conference that included a power-point presentation of the documents. Waters is charged with three counts: violating a rule requiring lawmakers’ conduct to reflect creditably on the House; violating the spirit and letter of a rule prohibiting receipt of benefits by exerting improper influence; and violating a government code of conduct that prohibits dispensing or receiving special favors. Waters’ primary defense is that she contacted former Secretary Henry
AP
Rep. Maxine Waters, DCalif., appears at a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington Friday to discuss the House ethics committee investigation. Paulson Jr., in September 2008 about a meeting for the National Bankers Association – a trade group of minority-owned banks. She said she turned the matter over to Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., the Financial Services Committee chairman, after learning OneUnited Bank was the association member actually needing the aid. The case appears to hinge on whether Waters was trying to help the association or OneUnited, a bank where the congresswoman’s husband, Sidney Williams, owns stock. The bank is headquartered in Frank’s Massachusetts district.
3 kids buy airplane tickets, fly alone to Tennessee JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Bored on a hot summer day, three Florida youngsters were just sitting around when one sent a text message to another with an adventurous idea. “Hey do you want to go 2 Tennessee today,” the message read. “Sure,” the other responded. Not even old enough to get a driver’s license, they took a taxi to the airport Tuesday, bought tickets with baby-sit-
ting money and – unbeknownst to their parents, the three (ages 15, 13 and 11) – boarded a Southwest Airlines flight from Jacksonville to Nashville, according to a TV news account of the incident. Nobody asked a question. Nobody asked for identification. Not the taxi driver. Not the ticket counter. Not security officials or flight attendants or other passengers. So when they landed in Nashville with
just $40 left and their destination, Dollywood, still hundreds of miles away, they finally called home. The jig was up. “I just wanted to fly,” 15-yearold Bridget Brown, told WJXXTV in Jacksonville. “I had the money.” Now their parents are wondering how the trip was possible. Southwest Airlines said in a statement that the company’s
policy on minors is similar to other carriers in that it covers children ages 5 through 11 traveling alone, and that the 11-year-old in this case was accompanied by two older companions. The Transportation Security Administration does not require anyone under age 18 to show identification, but all bags are still screened. It is still unclear if any of the three should have been allowed to purchase tickets. A
Southwest spokesman did not immediately return a message seeking comment on that issue. Messages left by The Associated Press on Friday at the families’ homes were not immediately returned. In an age of heightened security and terrorism threats, some are concerned that three youngsters could so easily board an airline without parental consent.
6 Detroit firefighters hurt battling blaze DETROIT (AP) – A burning two-story building in Detroit partially collapsed during a suspicious blaze Friday, injuring five firefighters, including one who suffered a spinal injury, authorities said. Those five and another firefighter who later strained his back fighting the blaze were taken to hospitals for treatment, fire officials said. Many of them had broken bones. City fire Commissioner James Mack called the fire “suspicious” and
said investigators were trying to determine if it was arson. “The job is dangerous. We don’t need situations in this city where people AP are starting fires,” Mack Firefighters respond to a blaze at a two-story building that partially collapsed on said. Friday in Detroit.
Gabor returning to hospital LOS ANGELES (AP) – Zsa Zsa Gabor’s publicist says the actress is being returned to a Los Angeles hospital because of complications in her recuperation from a broken hip. Publicist John Blanchette says an ambulance was at her home Friday to take Gabor to the emergency room. Blanchette says Gabor’s husband told him that the 93-year-old actress is bleeding and in a lot of pain.
Radio host Dr. Laura apologizes for saying N-word on air LOS ANGELES (AP) – Talk radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger has issued an apology for saying the Nword several times in an on-air conversation with a caller that she said was “hypersensitive” to racism. Schlessinger said on her website Wednesday that she was wrong in using the word for what she called an attempt to make a philosophical point. “I articulated the N-word all the way out – more than one time,” Sch-
lessinger said in comments from the opening of her radio show that she posted on her site. “And that was wrong. I’ll say it again – that was wrong.” Schlessinger She said she “realized I had made a horrible mistake, and was so upset, I could not finish the show.” Schlessinger said she pulled herself
off the air at the end of the h ou r. During the exchange on Tuesday’s show, Schlessinger said the woman who called herself Jade was too sensitive for complaining that her husband’s friends made racist comments about her in their home. When the woman asked if the Nword was offensive, Dr. Laura said “black guys say it all the time,” then went on to repeat it several times. Schlessinger did not direct the epi-
thet at the woman, but said she used it to suggest how often she hears it, and that it should not automatically be cause for offense. When the caller objected, Schlessinger replied: “Oh, then I guess you don’t watch HBO or listen to any black comedians.” Schlessinger also said that if the caller did not have a sense of humor about race, she shouldn’t have entered into an interracial marriage.

As I park, the glimmer of the playground equipment behind the community center sparkles as the sun reflects off the vibrant colors. Where was I? I was on the campus of West End Ministries and, “no,� that is not a typo or a misprint – I did mean “campus.� When
That ‘path of life’ for the West End neighborhood is one that has faced numerous challenges dating back to the 1920s. I attended the recent dedication of the newly built Thrift Store, Executive Director Judy Mendenhall made an offer I couldn’t refuse. She invited me back for an “up close and personal� tour of the campus. I was greeted by Mendenhall in the Community Center. A letter had just arrived that day from a client of Leslie’s House (the brick house). I read the letter, which read in part, “When I first arrived at Leslie’s House, I was very weak and tired emotionally, physically and spiritually. I felt helpless, hopeless and confused.
Leslie’s House offered me the respite that I needed in order to regain my focus and ABOUT continue TOWN along this path we Mary call life.� Bogest That ■■■“path of life� for the West End neighborhood is one that has faced numerous challenges dating back to the 1920s when it was a stop along the bootleggers routes. These challenges evolved through the years into drugs, prostitution etc., etc. High Pointers stood up and to paraphrase a quote from the movie Network said, “We are mad as hell and we are not going to take this anymore.� West End Ministries was founded in 1999 led by the Rev. Jim Summey and two other since-retired ministers whose mission is to make our neighborhoods safe. He continues that mission now, leading the nationally acclaimed High Point Community Against Violence Program. Summey deserves unending kudos for his continuing dedication in this quest, which Mendenhall also embraces. As we began the tour, I met Connie Garceau, who Mendenhall introduced as the “chef extraordinaire� for the Kids Cafe that serves a hot, nutritious dinner to about 50 neighborhood children on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Tables in the Fellowship Hall cheerfully were set in anticipation of the arrival of the lively diners for the evening meal. One could imagine the laughter that would soon fill the room. Thursday evenings a community meal is served to about 200 neighbors. The day of our tour was extremely hot,

I did my best as we entered each room and she told me of her vision. She pointed to an empty room and said that will be the computer room. The kitchen will be updated and it will be a teaching kitchen. As we walk, I try to imagine the transformation as she points out the upcoming plans. In another room, there are stacks of backpacks and school supplies that were given to West End Ministries through a grant given to the local chapter of Duke Energy retirees. We don’t even dare to go upstairs (heat rises) which is used for storage now. Again, I try to keep up with Mendenhall as

she tells me, now that the thrift store has moved out of the community center, there is the opportunity to expand add new programs including a partnership with the High Point Public Library. Family night at the movies is another planned activity. They will have GED classes, English-as-a-second-language classes and plan to expand the Bingo. “Our thrift store was very, very blessed and we’re thankful,� she said and noted that while operating on an extremely limited schedule in the community center, the thrift store brought in $45,000 a year. Those figures are already being surpassed. Still on the move, we go downstairs to the sounds of children’s voices. I am relieved when Mendenhall tells me that part of their capital campaign is for new windows and to replace the air conditioning. Thank goodness! Downstairs is the Boys and Girls Club and children are all active, some working on computers. A Boy Scout Troop also meets here. It is a happy place. As we leave, I notice a huge trophy won by the club as the Soccer Champs of 2009! Quickly, we are fast apace again to visit Leslie’s House, which serves as the homeless shelter for single women. More than a homeless shelter, it is a safe haven, just as the rest of the campus of West End Ministries. As we enter,
we are greeted by staff member Minnie Terry as she also welcomes a member of Temple Memorial Church who has brought dinner for the women’s evening meal. As we talk, another woman approaches and almost embarrassingly asks how she can get help. Mendenhall directs her to the Community Center where she can get help whether it be emergency assistance or food from the food pantry. From Leslie’s House, I can get a glimpse of the Harris House that abuts the campus. This house is for homeless women who are in transition. As we talk in the “coolâ€? Leslie’s House, I am more and more amazed at everything that has been accomplished at West End Ministries. Mendenhall is quick to tell me ‌ “We couldn’t have done any of this without the help of our community. They are so wonderful.â€? The Nick Maheras Playground was made possible with the help of Mendenhall’s Kiwanis Club, city of High Point and the Carolina Panthers. So many community churches have
helped with landscaping. One church even had a volunteer work day making delicious casseroles. The needs are endless. The hope is endless. Mendenhall’s dedication is endless. Did you really think that when Mendenhall retired as president of International Home Furnishings Market Authority that she would just relax after decades of serving High Point as a mayor, president of the Chamber of Commerce and innumerable volunteer positions? She told me that she knew she just couldn’t retire “cold turkey� so she worked part time at Open Door Ministries before her calling to West End Ministries, “God looked around and said, ‘who needs the pushy broad?’ Everyday, I pray for God to show me the way.� That “way� is making the West End neighborhood a safer place to live, to learn, to work and to worship. Kudos to West End Ministries and Judy Mendenhall!

DIY:
Banish bare walls by making art yourself
BY JENNIFER FORKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
O
ur walls beg for art, but we don’t have to. With a little ingenuity, do-it-yourselfers can have chic artwork covering nearly any bare wall space. And not just any slapped-together art, mind you, but pieces that guests will coo over. It can be done in hours with very little money. Home-design experts are brimming with DIY ideas to help anyone strike out artfully on their own. Designer David Bromstad, who creates wall-art magic as host of HGTV’s “Color Splash: Miami,” shares a few, basic pointers: Keep it simple. Have reasonable expectations. And copy, copy, copy. “I cannot stress it enough: Be inspired by other artists and designers,” says Bromstad. “Copy it. It’s OK to do. That’s what they’re there for.” After all, beginning artists learn from copying the masters. “That’s how I learned how to paint (and draw). Van Gogh, Rembrandt – I copied them,” says Bromstad. French artist and textile designer Lola Gavarry takes the fear out of painting with her book “DIY Art at Home” (Watson-Guptill, 2010). Templates are included for some of the 28 projects, each of which offers a simple, contemporary design element. Gavarry walks DIYers through each project, and the steps are amply photographed. From her home in Paris, Gavarry recommends finding a quiet place and taking a few practice runs. “Make an initial test on paper to get comfortable,” she says. “Don’t worry about small imperfections. They are your marks.” Onward for more artsy DIY ideas:
FROM BROMSTAD: • Buy several inexpensive canvases and acrylic paint. Consider using a high-quality, latex house
paint. Artists often do, he says. Choose a simple design, such as stripes or geometric shapes, or paint each canvas a different color. Hang the canvases like an installation – randomly, or in rows. The idea is especially good for kids – allow a child to paint her own canvases, then hang the results like a headboard – and for apartment dwellers wanting to cover drab walls, Bromstad says. “Bring in tons of canvases and hang them almost like wallpaper,” he advises. • Another idea? Take a blackand-white photograph to a copier store that has rolls of oversize blueprint paper and have it blown up several feet wide and as long as desired. As it enlarges, the photo will pixilate, adding interest. “It looks incredible,” says Bromstad.

FROM RACHAEL LISKA: Senior editor at Fresh Home magazine • Paint directly onto a wooden pallet, alternating colors on the wooden slats or going with a simple design, such as a flag, and hang it. Display collected dishes among the slats. “It gives you that funky, urban vibe,” says Liska. • In a kitchen or dining area, hang color-coordinating tea towels on a cord or wire, or frame vintage cookbook pages. Restaurant menus often are graphically appealing, so frame your favorites. • Frame a square of high-quality wallpaper and set it on an easel so it resembles a work of art. Stretch fabric across a canvas frame and staple it on the backside. These ideas are “not a lot of money, not a lot of time, and they’re temporary,” says Liska. “You can switch them out if your mood changes, or your lifestyle changes.”
FROM DANIELLE CLARO: Home editor for Real Simple magazine • Decorate with colorful decals. “Use it artfully,” Claro advises. “It can be dramatic.” She warns that decals, or “wall tattoos” as they’re sometimes called, may not be appropriate for every room of the house. If you want a sophisticated-looking living room, don’t decal it. But they’re always a hit in children’s bedrooms. Claro recommends shopping at these online sites: Blik, Surface Collective and Dezign With a Z. • Hang a collection of mirrors or flea market finds that are unified in some way – by style, frame color or size. Examine what you already collect: Can you group it and hang it? Plates or silver trays can make artful installations, Claro says, as can multiple pages from a single, artful book, framed and hung in a grid or a straight line. “It can look very purposeful and upscale,” says Claro.

High Point runs ahead of the curve I
n the last article, we were discussing the extremely low interest rates we are currently experiencing and how that plays into the timing of purchasing a home. I also gave a word of caution for those who might be tempted to put off their purchase based on information they may be getting from the national news sources. Last week, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) held its annual Leadership Summit in Chicago. The High Point Regional Association of Realtors was represented by Ed Terry, executive vice president, and Amy Hedgecock, president elect. The message they brought back from this conference shed even more light on why poten-
tial homebuyers should beware of making a homebuying decision based on national news. At this conference, Ed and Amy REAL ESTATE had the opportuKen nity to speak with Wall Realtors from all ■■■ over the country. What they found out was that nationally, the real estate market is still maintaining a level of uncertainty, even tending downward. Compare that to our 11 percent increase last month in the comparison of pending sales from May to June in the greater High Point area. While NAR
reported a nationwide trend toward housing price stabilization, we are up more than 12 percent over last month and had an increase, too, from the same period last year. While it’s true that new-home inventory is at a record low level, due to builders having difficulty obtaining financing for construction, there is about an 8 to 9 month inventory for existing homes. Although new construction numbers may be down, in general, the resale market is slowly recovering at different rates across the country. Fortunately, as you can see from the numbers above, our area is performing ahead of the curve. So if you’re going to wait for an article in the newspaper to
CONTACTS
–
tell you that it’s a great time for you to buy a house, make sure it is a local newspaper with current local information, like the one you’re reading now. And as always, if you do find it’s time to take the step toward home ownership, contact a member of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors.

Fed likely to keep big mortgage market role WASHINGTON (AP) – Keeping Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in business will cost taxpayers billions. But getting the federal government out of the mortgage business would cost home buyers dearly, in the form of higher interest rates. The Obama administration will begin tackling this dilemma this Tuesday at a public conference on the future of the mortgage system. Fannie and Freddie lost a combined $9 billion in the April-to-June quarter and have needed more than $148 billion to stay afloat since the government rescued them nearly two years ago.
Figuring out what to do with Fannie and Freddie could take years and involves a more difficult question: How much should the government do to subsidize the housing market? The government has helped make mortgages attractive to Americans for decades with a range of policies, from allowing homeowners to deduct mortgage interest payments to backing loans that make long-term fixed-rate mortgages widely available. Now, Fannie and Freddie are facing scrutiny for the billions that taxpayers have covered for the bad loans made dur-
ing the housing boom. And the administration and Congress are under pressure to address Fannie and Freddie’s role
Some would like the government to scale back its support for Fannie and Freddie. that contributed to the mortgage crisis after leaving that out of the broader financial regulatory overhaul.
Some would like the government to scale back its support for Fannie and Freddie to give the private sector a chance to compete. But others say ending it is unrealistic because it would make the 30-year fixed rate mortgage less available or more expensive. “When Congress overhauls the housing finance system, it’s going to have to preserve something close to the status quo,” said Jaret Seiberg, an analyst with Concept Capital’s Washington Research Group. “Our whole housing system is built upon the ability of borrowers to get 30-year fixed-rate
mortgages. You just can’t remove that product from the market.” Without the government’s backing, banks would prefer not to make loans that leave interest rates fixed for more than five years. They don’t want to take the risks that interest rates will skyrocket, leaving them with an unprofitable loan a decade later. Fannie and Freddie buy home loans from lenders, package them into bonds with a guarantee against default and sell them to investors. The pair nearly collapsed two years under the weight of soaring foreclosures and defaults.

Tips on finding, financing your first home A
re Americans disenchanted with the idea of homeownership, as some in the media have said recently? Not according to those who work with wannabe homebuyers. Despite what you may hear on TV and radio talk shows, “the dream of buying a first home is alive and well,” says Tom Early, former president of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (www.naeba.org). While some commentators suggest that people have soured on the longcherished dream of owning a place of their own and argue that the foreclosure wave and the volatile housing value situation of the last few years have caused a change in attitudes, Early has a more nuanced view. “Granted, banks have tightened the screws on mortgage borrowers. They now look very closely at credit ratings and debt-to-income ratios. It’s a lot harder to get a mortgage. But that hasn’t caused people to stop hankering for a house,” he says. No matter the economic phase, Early says those most eager to acquire a first home are people in their late 20s and early 30s who have stable jobs and wish to settle down. Arlen Olberding, a financial planner affiliated with the Garrett Planning Network (www.garrettplanningnet-
work.com), says he’s currently advising several young clients “who want that sense of place and permanency that comes with a house.” While he thinks the desire for first-time homSMART MOVES eownership is as strong as ever, he allows that Ellen it’s now more difficult for Martin prospective homeowners ■■■ to reach their goal than it was just a few years ago. Here are a few pointers: • Select your starter home carefully. “A lot of young buyers are very shortsighted when they screen properties. If you can afford it, seek a home that would work for you even after your household size expands, or your small kids become teenagers,” says Sid Davis, a real estate broker and author of “A Survival Guide for Buying a Home.” “Don’t break your budget,” he adds, “but try to buy ahead for your future needs, as well as eventual resale.” Of course, you’ll likely want to postpone your purchase if one or both of the jobs in your household seem rocky. But if you’re confident about your careers, now could be the time to think beyond your immediate needs, according to Davis. • Choose a home that would sell
well when it’s your turn. While many baby boomers are beginning to downsize, younger families still want a house spacious enough to raise small children, possibly one with several bedrooms. Assuming you pick a strong neighborhood, this kind of house can usually be expected to gain value sooner than a one or two-bedroom house, Early says. “In this market, you can afford to be selective. That’s because there’s so much inventory out there to choose from,” Early says. To enhance your future resale prospects, also look for multiple bathrooms, a feature people of all ages tend to appreciate. • Make sure the neighborhood you pick has good public schools. For the same reasons that you’ll want to seek out a property with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, so should you look for a neighborhood served by well-ranked public schools. Given the resources on the Internet, it’s now easy to compare schools based on students’ test scores. That’s because most school systems freely disseminate test results on their websites. Also, you can get more information on the quality of schools in a neighborhood you’ve targeted by buying a report from an educational research
service such as SchoolMatch (www. schoolmatch.com). But Davis contends the best information on school quality typically comes from word-of-mouth sources. For a quick (though unscientific) survey of school quality, he encourages you to go door-todoor in the neighborhood of your choice to poll residents on their views. • Consider financing your home with a government- backed home loan. Nowadays, most lenders want substantial down payments for their conventional mortgage programs. But amassing a large down payment is an especially high hurdle for many young adults, particularly those still carrying student loans or credit card debt. However, as Early says, many firsttime home purchasers are eligible for low down payment mortgages through the Federal Housing Administration of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. To find lenders near you who make FHA loans, go to this website: www.hud.gov. “An FHA mortgage with a low down payment requirement is often an ideal choice for first-time buyers short on cash. So I strongly recommend you look into this option,” he says. TO CONTACT Ellen James Martin, e-mail her at ellenjamesmartin gmail.com.
Fannie seeks less money; bailout price may shrink WASHINGTON (AP) – Fannie Mae is asking for less money from the government, a sign that the cost to taxpayers for bailing out the mortgage giant could be billions lower than once thought. The government-controlled mortgage buyer said Thursday it has now set aside enough money to cover the majority of losses stemming from bad loans made from 2005 through 2008.
It requested $1.5 billion in additional taxpayer aid after posting the best quarterly results since the company was put under federal control in September 2008. It was also the smallest quarterly request for assistance since November 2008. Analysts, however, cautioned that the company’s financial picture could still weaken. Anthony Sanders, a finance professor at George Mason
University, said the numbers are artificially low because of the slow pace of the foreclosure process. “These foreclosures are gathering up,” Sanders said. “The dam is going to break eventually.” Fannie Mae said Thursday that it lost $3.13 billion, or 55 cents per share, in the Aprilto-June period. The company’s losses take into account $1.9 billion in dividends paid to the
Treasury Department. They compare with a loss of $15.2 billion, or $2.67 a share, in the quarter a year ago. “Across our industry, we are seeing a more realistic approach to housing and lending that bodes well for the future,” Mike Williams, the company’s chief executive, said in a statement. The company said loans made last year are faring slightly better than those made during 2001 through 2004, be-
fore the company lowered its lending standards. The government rescued Fannie Mae and sibling company Freddie Mac from the brink of failure nearly two years ago. The new request means they have needed $146.4 billion to stay afloat. Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee about half of all U.S. mortgages, or nearly 31 million home loans worth more than $5 trillion.
