The entrance and exit to the lot are less than a block from the ramp for U.S. 311. The PART Express regional bus system connects major cities and rural areas in the Piedmont. There are 14 PART Express routes offered

Town of Midway continues growing BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

MIDWAY – The town of Midway continues to add to its population as it brings in residents who want to be voluntary annexed. Ryan Ross, Midway’s town administrator, said the Midway Town Council recently annexed the Kensington development, bringing in 28 parcels of land and 50 people. The Town Council will consider bringing in 10 parcels of land off of N. Payne Road in the next month, according to Ross. Ross said there may be more property on N. Payne Road to be voluntary annexed, but one property owner hasn’t agreed to terms.

When he does sign an agreement, the town will get seven or eight more parcels, the town administrator said. Last year, the Winston-Salem City Council agreed to allow the Town Council to voluntary annex several areas outside of the town limits. Residents who live off N. Payne Road, S. Union Grove Road, as well as in the Kensington development and the Williams Meadow and Merrifield subdivisions, had expressed interest in being annexed into the town. “It would double the size of the town, basically, if we got everything, but obviously, we are not going to get 100 percent,” Ross

said of the annexation agreement with Winston-Salem. “Just look at it land-mass-wise. It would almost double the town, and population wise, it would double the town.” Midway currently has 4,678 residents, according to town officials. “When we get to 5,000, it’s kind of a magic number,” Mayor George Byrum said. “Our town administrator will be a town manager.” Town officials have said Midway will bring in neighborhoods as they get 100 percent participation from them. In 2008, Midway started to hear from residents who were afraid of being annexed by Winston-Salem. Midway was incorporated as a town in 2006 be-

cause of the fear of being annexed by Winston-Salem. Byrum said residents want to become part of Midway because of the town’s property tax rate, which is 5 cents per $100 valuation. Winston-Salem has a property tax rate of 49 cents per $100 valuation. “It helps our tax base,” Ross said of the annexation. “You’ve got more tax dollars that way.” Residents who are annexed into the town will receive garbage, street lights, zoning and planning and law enforcement service from the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

HIGH POINT – In the last two years, there have been many times when Shawnikwa Thompson has asked, “Why?” Why can’t she find permanent, full-time work? Why did she have to become a victim of domestic violence? Why can’t things get better? Those are questions the 27-year-old single mother can’t completely answer. But the general conclusion she has come to might surprise you.

“These things h a v e helped me learn to appreHARD TIMES ciate the things Living in the that I do recession have,” she ■■■ said. “It changed me a lot.. No, I’ve never blamed anyone for what happened.” Thompson’s struggles began in May 2008, just months before the U.S. stock market and housing market crashed.

The couple had planned to stay with the relatives when they arrived, but several issues kept that from happening, Thompson said. One of the issues was that the relatives didn’t have enough room for the family. A mere three days af-

Andy Griffith Museum set to unveil items from Goober MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MOUNT AIRY – Items donated by actor George Lindsey will be unveiled in a public ceremony at Mount Airy’s Andy Griffith Museum on Friday at 11 a.m. Lindsey, who played the lovable bumbling mechanic Goober Pyle on “The Andy Griffith Show” and on “Mayberry R.F.D.,” has donated several key wardrobe items from his famous role. “It’s an honor for me both to have my stuff on display and also that people want to see it,” Lindsey said. “Of course, this ’stuff’ was on TV a long time – and still is. Generations of TV watchers continue to love Mayberry and all its characters. I’m proud to have portrayed one of those characters. The love is mutual.” Lindsey, who lives in Nashville, Tenn., is unable to attend the unveiling, but has asked fellow Nashvillian Jim Clark, “Presiding Goober” of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club, to provide a Goober-esque presence at the ceremony. In addition to Clark, others ex-

pected on hand for the unveiling include Mount Airy resident Betty Lynn, who played Thelma Lou on “The Andy Griffith Show.” Museum Director Jessica Morris is thrilled to receive such memorable artifacts from “The

Andy Griffith Show,” which turns 50 years old in October and is still widely available in re-runs. “We appreciate George Lindsey’s generosity and are pleased he selected our museum as the permanent home for these important items,” Morris said.

Lindsey’s donation comes less than a month before Mount Airy’s 21st annual Mayberry Days festival, Sept. 23-26. Tens of thousands of Mayberry fans, and at least 10 actors from “The Andy Griffith Show,” are expected for this year’s festival. Organizers predict it will be the largest yet, especially since Oct. 3 marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic show. Located at 218 Rockford St., the museum is home to the world’s largest collection of artifacts and memorabilia of native son Andy Griffith. Much of the collection has been compiled during the last quarter century by local resident Emmett Forrest, Griffith’s friend since childhood. Forrest will be on hand to officially unveil the items donated by Lindsey. Since Goober always provided free water and air at Wally’s Service Station, admission to the museum will be waived for the unveiling. For information about the unveiling, museum or Mayberry Days, call the Surry Arts Council at 786-7998 or go to www. andygriffithmuseum.com.

2 women stabbed in domestic dispute MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

HICKORY – Two women are recovering from stab wounds at an area hospital, and the man accused of attacking them Saturday is in police custody. Hickory police got a

call at about 2:40 a.m. reporting that two women had been stabbed at the Williamsburg apartment complex on Fifth Avenue SW. When they arrived, they found a 19-year-old and a 21-year-old, each of whom had multiple stab wounds in the chest, neck and stomach. The women

Driver fined $100 for having goat in trunk BEDFORD, Va. (AP) – A driver has been convicted of animal cruelty and fined $100 after Virginia authorities found a goat stuffed in the trunk of her car. Bedford County sheriff’s deputies discovered the goat bound and

in the trunk during a drunken driving checkpoint in June. Fiona Ann Enderby of Washington, D.C., told police she bought the goat from a farmer to give to four passengers in her car, who are from Kenya but reside

in Lynchburg in central Virginia. The goat was panting heavily and animal control officers say the temperature in the trunk was 94 degrees. The goat is now living at a Bedford County farm.

ter her new life was supposed to begin, she and her daughter found themselves living in the High Point Salvation Army shelter. Her boyfriend remained with the relatives because the shelter does not take unwed couples. “It was really hard because I had never been in a situation like that before,” she said. “I didn’t have anyone down here. But my primary goal was to slow things down and raise my daughter. So that’s what I tried to do.” The job market was beginning to take on its grim appearance, and High Point’s unemployment rate jumped from 5.3 percent in April 2008 to 6.2 percent in May 2008. But Thompson said she submitted job applications every day, made trips to social services and visited with housing authorities. “I did what I had to do,” she said. And like a ray of light in a dark storm, Thompson got a call back on a hot day in June from a housekeeping service. They wanted to hire her full time. “I was lucky to get the job,” she said. “But as soon as I started working, I started having trouble with one of my hands.” As quickly as the light had come, darkness seemed to flood back when a doctor told Thompson she needed surgery to correct a syndrome known as De Quervain. Similar to carpel tunnel, the syndrome causes pain and inflammation in hands that perform repetitive motions. In Thompson’s case, it required about two months of recovery. Not only did it mean the end of her new job, but it also prompted

South High Point needs city streets funding Thanks for the editorial in the Aug. 12 edition regarding money allocations on state roads. As for city streets, we’ve been fighting and complaining for years about the lack of deserved attention for the neglected roads in south High Point. North High Point has more than its share of roads with beautiful walkways that are seldom used and double lanes for traffic, yet on Baker Road (a main thoroughfare for semi-trucks and commuters), we have to dodge ditches to walk to the local cafe at lunch time and dodge the trucks that the road is too narrow to accommodate. I have actually taken photos of the dangerous situations that this badly engineered road has brought on, such as wheels on the roads going off and wearing off the edges, hills too steep to see the traffic and curves so sharp that the on-coming traffic runs you off the road ... not to mention the situation if someone needs to turn left! Now let’s address the crossroads of Fairfield and South Main – what a joke for design! In order to get to the new 311 Bypass, you need to get over to Brentwood Street. How? Not without going through that horrible, dangerous intersection of Fairfield and South Main! Great planning huh? Even Fairfield Road narrows before you get to the Food Lion – no way to turn into it, without risking life and limb. Please keep up the good work letting people know about the roads in South High Point. Our taxation needs equal representation! DEBORAH COVINGTON High Point

Why would anyone buy this electric car? General Motors finally announced the pricing on their electric car, the Chevy Volt. The Volt will have a base-model sticker price of $41,000 with a $7,500 federal tax credit to drop the price to $33,500 which would put it in the Toyota Prius range. The Chevy Volt has a range of 40 miles on battery power and another 300 miles when gas is used to power an electric generator. Premium gas is required. The pure electric Nissan Leaf has a range of just 100 miles and costs $32,780.

not wrong. This has been one of the best public courses around forever. I am sure that the city of High Point would never let Oak Hollow get in this bad of shape. So why let Blair Park? I am sure the grounds crew members are doing there best they can do with probably very little funds. All I am saying is treat both courses the same. Don’t let a great old course waste away to nothing. DANNY SOUTHERN Thomasville

YOUR VIEW

The New York Times called the Chevy Volt GM’s electric lemon and the only good reason to buy a Volt would be to make President Obama and the $150 million stimulus money spent on the Volt look good. The batteries are made in South Korea by a company that also received stimulus money. GM’s own market analysis found that the Volt is too expensive to be successful in the near future. It appears that the Obama administration forced GM to produce a car that no one will buy. As soon as the federal government took over GM, President Obama fired the CEO. A number of new small cars get almost 40 miles to the gallon using advanced engine technology and will last two to three times longer than an electric car and cost 50 percent to 75 percent less. The Chevy Volt takes four hours to charge using a 240-volt outlet home charging station that costs $2,000. An electric company CEO said that a home with an electric car would use additional electricity equivalent to half a house. I sure would not want to pay that electric bill. Twentyseven states do not have a single charging station. Maybe it is best to leave the Chevy Volt to California residents. REGIS KLINE Trinity

Let’s put someone with brains into office I am 62 years old. I have worked a full-time job since I was 16 years old, and have been married since I was 18. Most of my married life, I worked two jobs. I paid taxes, bought a home and raised three kids. Now, I would like to take

things a little easier, but I can’t. We have looked after my motherin-law for six years now – 24/7. We are trying to get her into a home. But, they want to know how much myself, my wife and everyone in the household makes. Why? She is on Social Security. If what she draws is not enough, do they want us to pay? We give to those who do not work, those who are here illegally, and, in general, to anyone who can manage to make it into this country. I just read about the woman from Rwanda in the Aug. 9 Enterprise. How can someone come to the U.S. and be approved for over $300,000 worth of credit making $13 an hour. This makes no sense to me. We are keeping up illegals every day. They are backpacking drugs into the U.S. and distributing them to other illegals to be sold here. And we want to make these people legal? Thank you U.S. government – for nothing. I hope someone with enough brains gets into office to fix this mess. If you were not born here, or are not a legal citizen – GO HOME! Or take the steps to become legal, so you can do your part for this nation. We have our own to feed and shelter. If we can’t get it free, why should illegals? TED EMBLER Thomasville

OUR MISSION

There’s something I like about Mike Huckabee “I’m a conservative, but I’m not mad at everybody over it.” – Mike Huckabee

’m writing this to say just one thing: I like Mike. That would be Michael Dale Huckabee, former Baptist preacher, former governor of Arkansas, former GOP presidential candidate, current Fox News personality, the guy quoted above being flagrantly reasonable during an interview on “The Daily Show.” I like Mike. The proximate reason I say that is his recent refusal to support a knuckleheaded idea being touted by many of his conservative brethren: altering the 14th Amendment to curtail illegal immigration. But I could have said it a few months ago when he sided with Arizona Hispanics who feared that state’s new immigration law could be used to profile them. I could have said it two years ago when he dissected the Jeremiah Wright controversy with a sense of nuance and compassion seldom found among conservatives when they speak of race. “We’ve got to cut some slack,” he said, “to people who grew up being called names, being told

you have to sit in the balcony when you go to the movie, you have to go to the back door to go into the restaurant, you can’t sit out there with evOPINION eryone else. ... And you know what? Leonard Sometimes people Pitts do have a chip on ■■■ their shoulder and resentment, and you have to just say, I probably would, too. In fact, I may have had more of a chip on my shoulder, had it been me.” I like Mike. And yes, I know what some of you are thinking: I like Mike because he agrees with me. Actually, he doesn’t. Yes, we have points of concurrence. But on any number of issues – reproductive rights, guns, same-sex marriage, HIV/AIDS education – the distance between us yawns like canyons. Indeed, Huckabee has said some things I find downright appalling. For instance, he once called for people with HIV and AIDS to be quarantined. And he is unfortunately fond of the silly non sequitur likening gay marriage to

polygamy. But here’s the thing: Just when you’ve got him figured as another guy glued to his talking points on the issues that divide and define, he will surprise you by showing evidence of actual thought. Like the John McCain of yore, he will deviate from what his ideological kin are all tonelessly repeating like windup toys and follow conscience to some other conclusion. In his debates with Stewart on “The Daily Show,” Huckabee comes across as a guy you can reason with. Not necessarily a guy you will agree with, but one who will willingly join you in an honest search for common ground. That is a rarity. So much of what purports to be political discourse these days is instead this primal scream of self righteousness and outrage. So much of it seems predicated upon the presumption that ideology is identity and reason, treason. How often have you heard a politician say something intellectually dishonest, and YOU knew it was intellectually dishonest and he knew it was intellectually dishonest and you knew he knew, and you knew he knew you knew – but he went and said it anyway.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Because he’s not trying to convince anyone of the fitness of his ideas, nor persuade them to his point of view. No, his only object is to tick off his talking points, hit his applause lines, score for his side. Sometimes you wonder if anyone is still on the country’s side. You couldn’t prove it by most of what passes for leadership these days. Which is why we never seem to reach national consensus, never seem to find compromise, never do anything except boil with a free floating, self-perpetuating anger. But Huckabee seems to have the novel idea that it’s more important to find answers than win arguments, more important to speak conscience than parrot talking points. That’s why, even when I disagree with him, I like Mike. And why I wish other politicians would take note.

Under Haitian law, a presidential candidate must have lived in the country for five consecutive years leading up to the election.

In a phone interview for A&E’s “Aftermath With William Shatner,” Malvo said he and his partner, John Allen Muhammad, shot 42 people in 2002. The pair had been linked to 27 shootings across the country, including 10 fatal attacks in the Washington area in 2002. Montgomery County Assistant Police Chief Drew Tracy wanted to examine the truth of Malvo’s claims, but he says Malvo won’t meet with detectives.

Gulf claims chief says no-sue rule his idea NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The new administrator for damage claims from Gulf oil spill victims said Sunday it was his idea, not BP’s, to require that anyone who receives a final settlement from the $20 billion compensation fund give up the right to sue the oil giant. But Ken Feinberg told reporters he has not yet decided whether the nosue requirement will extend to other companies that may be responsible for the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

He insisted that payouts from the claims facility he will run will be more generous than those from any court. Feinberg also ran the government compensation fund created after the 9/11 attacks, and there was a similar nosue provision. “It is not in your interest to tie up you and the courts in years of uncertain protracted litigation when there is an alternative that has been created,” Feinberg said.

NEW YORK (AP) – The proposed mosque near ground zero drew hundreds of fever-pitch demonstrators Sunday, with opponents carrying signs associating Islam with blood, supporters shouting, “Say no to racist fear!” and American flags waving on both sides. Police separated the two groups but there were some nose-tonose confrontations, including a man and a woman screaming at each other across a barricade under a steady rain. Opponents of the plan to build a $100 million, 13-story Islamic center and mosque appeared to outnumber supporters. Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” blared over loudspeakers as mosque opponents chanted, “No mosque, no way!” Signs hoisted by hundreds of protesters standing behind barricades read “SHARIA” – using dripping, bloodred letters to describe Islam’s Shariah law.

TRINITY – Mandatory trash and recycling service could be implemented in Trinity by January 2011, according to a plan presented to the Trinity City Council last week. City Manager Ann Bailie told members of the City Council that the city’s trash and recycling task force is leaning toward forming a corporation with three of the city’s haulers – Roadside Trash, Smith Disposal and Handy’s Garbage – to provide the service. Members of the task force include Councilmen Tommy Johnson, Kelly Grooms and Robbie Sikes. According to the city manager, state law requires the city to provide compensation to displaced haulers unless the city delays implementing the service for 15 months after the City Council formally takes action to provide it. If the city implements the service in January, forming the corporation of the three haulers would mean that the city would have to pay displacement fees of $1,880 to the other haulers operating in Trinity. Bailie said if the city decided to contract with anyone other than Roadside Trash, Smith Disposal and Handy’s Garbage, it would have to pay displacement fees of $180,000 to the three haulers. “We are expecting that the service will be mandatory,” Bailie said. “We are expecting that there will be some exceptions. The one that we have identified so far will be for residents living on private roads. We don’t necessarily want to be liable for damage to private roads for the trucks.” Bailie said she expects the monthly service fee to be approximately $15 a month. The city would purchase mobile toters, which are expected to cost $50 each, for recyclables. The City Council last year voted not to implement the service after many residents said they couldn’t afford the service. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

The entrepreneur has worked in the construction, real estate and property management industries, and he even managed a nursing home with his father, Cliff Lamb. But a downturn in the housing market and tornadoes that struck High Point on March 28 set off a chain of events that led Lamb to his latest venture – opening The Gun Vault at 3303 N.

It was occupied by Britt Floor Covering, but the tornadoes that struck the city caused significant damage to the building, and the company decided to close. Lamb said he and his father are hunting enthusiasts, but they also decided to utilize the

space for a gun store after it was renovated because gun sales, unlike home sales, are booming. “Unlike the housing market, sales on hunting items haven’t really changed. But home defense (sales) increased,” he said. “More people are carrying concealed weapons than ever. A lot of women are starting to carry guns. People are just interested in protecting themselves because of rising crime everywhere.” The shop should serve a niche in High Point because a gun store hasn’t opened in the city in several years, he said. And if sales explode the way he hopes they will this hunting season, he may open a shooting range in High Point. “We prayed about this a lot, and it’s where we think we should be,” he said. “A shooting range would be our next move.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Harsh economy adds tension to family life Elsewhere...

Economy is especially tough on single mom. 1A BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – By October 2008, Shawnikwa Thompson had recovered from surgery that helped correct a condition that caused severe pain in her hands. The 27=year-old New York native and single mother moved to High Point in May 2008 looking for a new life. With the economy beginning to reach the peak of the mounting recession, she was lucky enough to land a job with a housekeeping service, but lost it when her medical condition arose. She saved enough as-

sistance funds to get an apartment and f o u n d HARD TIMES temporary but Living in the full-time recession w o r k ■■■ ■■■ at Polo R a l p h Lauren in High Point. Once again, it seemed like she was on track to a normal life. But life in these economic times can be stressful for many, even those who are able to work but barely are able ends meet. Just as the country was facing one of its toughest moments with the stock market crash, Thompson also faced her biggest battle yet. During a confrontation with her boyfriend, she became a victim of domestic violence.

Looking back, Thompson knows there is no excuse for the attack. But she won’t deny that stress caused by economic hardships the couple was having may have played a role. “It came out of the blue,” she said about the attack. “He had never hit me before. I just couldn’t believe it when it was happening to me.” “He had trouble finding a job, too,” she said. “That was a big part of why he exploded. I don’t want to say there’s anything OK about what he did or that I understand it, but he was stressed out because of the job situation.” It was another road to recovery for Thompson. Not only did she have physical bruises to recover from, but also emotional bruises. Eventually, her former boyfriend was

placed in prison, where he remains today. Despite time needed to heal, she kept the job at Polo Ralph Lauren and began to have a steady income. Eventually she called for her daughter’s return. Things were going well for the two who had been through so much already for nearly one and a half years. Still, Thompson had at least one more crash to go through - literally. In March 2010, she sustained leg injuries from a car accident in which she was riding in the passenger seat. “And just like that, everything went downhill again.” Pain in her leg left Thompson calling in sick for several days at her job at Polo, which she obtained through a temporary agency. Because she

was still a temporary employee, medical bills and little benefits left in her in a sticky situation with the temp agency. “When you go through them (the agency), you can’t miss any days,” she said. “They have so many people who are waiting to take your place.” And like the rise and fall of the economy, Thompson sits in a stagnant position once again. She’s trying to recover. She’s trying to make money. But, as the last two years have taught her, the future is never certain. “My main focus is just getting another job,” she said. “I might finish schooling that I started in New York. Anybody that knows me from back home knows that I finish what I start.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Author, activist Nancy Freedman dies at 90 MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Nancy Freedman, a novelist whose wideranging books include the bestselling “Mrs. Mike,” co-written with her husband, has died. She was 90. Freedman died Aug. 10 of temporal arteritis, an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the arterial vascular system, at her home in Greenbrae, Calif., said her husband and frequent writing partner, Benedict Freedman. In a literary career that began in the late 1940s and continued until her death, Freedman wrote or co-wrote 20 novels. The first was “Mrs. Mike” (1947), the story of a 17-year-old Boston

girl coping with living in Canada’s northwest wilderness with her Mountie husband in the early 20th century. A bestseller that appeared in 27 foreign editions and remains in print, “Mrs. Mike” was turned into a 1949 movie starring Dick Powell and Evelyn Keyes. Other novels written with her husband include “The Apprentice Bastard” (1966), the story of a disillusioned man who resolves to abandon his high ethical standards to succeed but keeps backsliding. Among Freedman’s solo efforts are “The Immortals,” a 1977 novel that tells how oil came to dominate the modern world; and “Joshua Son

6-year-old run over by tobacco harvester JACKSONVILLE (AP) – Authorities say a 6-yearold North Carolina boy has been killed after he was run over by a tobacco harvester.

‘48 Hours’ reporter dies NEW YORK (AP) — Emmy-winning CBS News correspondent Harold Dow, who helped shape the documentary program “48 Hours” and covered the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst and the Sept. 11 attacks, has died. He was 62. Dow died suddenly Saturday morning in New Jersey, network spokeswoman Louise Bashi said. He lived in Upper Saddle River, N.J., but it wasn’t immediately clear if he’d been at home. Dow had been a correspondent for “48 Hours” since 1990. His nearly 40 years with the network also included reporting for “CBS Evening News with Dan Rather” and “CBS News Sunday Morning.” A “48 Hours” report on runaways earned him a George Foster Peabody

Award. He also won five Emmys, for work including coverage Dow of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, and of American troops’ movement into Bosnia in 1996. “Insatiably curious, he was happiest when he was on the road deep into a story,” Susan Zirinsky, executive producer of “48 Hours Mystery,” said in a statement. “It was his humanity, which was felt by everyone he encountered, even in his toughest interviews, that truly defined the greatness of his work. He was the most selfless man I have known.”

Residents impatient for Bonner Bridge replacement OREGON INLET (AP) – North Carolina officials have received more than 4,000 comments on what to do with an aging bridge linking the Outer Banks to the mainland. The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reported Sunday just nine opposed the state Department of Transportation’s wish to begin replacing the Bonner Bridge as soon as possible. DOT spokesman Drew Joyner says the com-

ments will weigh heavily as state and federal officials decide whether to do more studies or start planning a replacement for the only bridge linking the southern Outer Banks to the rest of the state. Some environmental groups want more study to see if a 17-mile bridge that would bypass a wildlife refuge is a better alternative. Joyner says comment from interest groups aren’t included in the public comment total.

German director, screenwriter dies at 49 BERLIN (AP) – A spokesman for a cultural festival says German director and screenwriter Christoph Schlingensief, who was considered one of the most important figures in the country’s contemporary theater, has died.

Benedict Freedman said, however, that “the bulk of her production could be characterized as ardently feminist.” That includes “Sappho: The Tenth Muse,” a 1998 novel about the ancient Greek poet, and “Mary, Mary Quite Contrary,” a 1968 novel about the origins of the modern feminist movement in Britain in the late 18th century. As a novelist, Freedman was known for her extensive research and wide variety of subject matter.

old director died Saturday. He did not elaborate. Schlingensief, who was also a renowned artist and actor, had suffered from lung cancer for more than two years. He directed numerous movies, plays and operas, including at the renowned annual

Richard Wagner festival in Bayreuth, Germany, and in Manaus, Brazil. Schlingensief’s plays, mostly staged in Germany, Switzerland and Austria often proved controversial as they came with strong political messages. Schlingensief is survived by his wife, Aino.

Report: Perdue kept records on private flights RALEIGH (AP) – A new report from a board investigating more than three dozen flights taken by North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue on supporter provided private airplanes shows her staff kept detailed records on the trips. The governor’s election staff turned over the flight spreadsheet

In this Aug. 5 photo, Santee State Park Ranger Rowdy Harris examines one of two geocaches at Santee State Park in Orangeburg, S.C., shortly after navigating his way to the hidden treasure via his hand-held GPS device.

Geocaching proves fun for people all ages cache can be found on any number of websites geared toward devotees. After inputting the coordinates into their GPS, the hunt is on. Gerald Vanlandingham of Elgin says he has placed two geocaches in the Orangeburg area out of the eight he has hidden himself. An accountant by occupation, he has sought geocaches in 17 states and personally discovered almost 400. “I’ve been doing it for over a year,” Vanlandingham said. “It’s a chance to get out and see new areas you wouldn’t normally go. I read a magazine article that talked about where a geocache was placed at the helicopter landing site in California where the television series “MA-S-H” was filmed. “I was living in Charleston at the time I started. The first geocache I ever found was located about a mile and a half from my house.” Geocaching was conceived shortly

after the removal of Selective Availability from GPS on May 1, 2000. The move significantly increased the accuracy of civilian-grade GPS units and allowed for specific placement and location of small containers, or caches, anywhere on earth. The first documented geocache was placed in May 2000 in Oregon. “Each website has rules on how to place geocaches,” Vanlandingham said. “Generally, people are asked not to place them near schools, highway bridges, churches or anywhere it would cause problems. They shouldn’t be placed within one-tenth of a mile of another geocache. “You do see a lot in highway rest areas and public parks across the country. If you come off I-26 at exit 145 there is one located there.” Geocaches have been hidden at several exits along I-26, Bull Swamp, North, U.S. 301 and Springfield.

Affair with sister’s killer shocks woman’s family

ear Abby: A few weeks ago, I had to pick up my sister “Karyn” after a night out. When she called she told me I was going to “hate” her and not to judge her. The man she was with had been arrested for DUI. Abby, he is the same person who killed another one of my sisters in a drunk-driving accident years ago! Not only has Karyn been hanging out with him, it has been going on for months and she says it’s serious. I am appalled with my sister’s choice. I told Karyn she could choose him or me. I guess she chose him because we haven’t spoken since. I thought we were very close before, but now that I know what she has been doing, I no longer want anything to do with her. Am I overreacting, or should she be more concerned with how her decisions affect the rest of the family? – Disappointed in New York Dear Disappointed: I don’t think you’re overreacting, and I don’t blame you for being appalled. Your sister has involved herself with a serious alcoholic who, if he could control his addiction, would have dried out after he killed someone. At least for the time being, keep your distance. While there’s no accounting for the affairs of the heart, I have

That way you can feed your child and your spouse meals they will accept while providing proper nourishment – and they’ll be none the wiser.

Dear Abby: I have a wonderful, loving, hardworking husband with one flaw. He is 24 years old and has literally spent 19 years of his life eating nothing but dairy, bread and pasta. We have been married more than two years, and he has only recently begun eating meat. When I try to encourage him to try fruits or vegetables, he refuses and makes excuses. He’ll even claim he is full and stop eating to avoid trying new things. I have managed cooking separately so far, but now we have an 18-month-old and I very worried that she will start imitating her father’s poor eating habits. What can I do? I’m afraid for his health and for my daughter’s future health. – Terribly Tired Of Cheese in Iowa

Dear Abby: May I share with you and your readers some information that was provided to me by a fireman? It concerns senior citizens.

NC man dies while tubing with family SALEM, S.C. (AP) – Authorities say a 21year-old North Carolina man has died while riding an inner tube on a South Carolina lake after the rope towing the tube got tangled around his neck. Oconee County Coroner Karl Addis said Sunday Brandon Godfrey of Hope Mills died about an hour after he was found unconscious in Lake Jocassee.

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) – Many children imagine themselves as pirates seeking buried treasure, their imaginations full blown and in tow. Thanks to the advent of handsized global positioning systems, a new form of the old childhood game is now becoming popular with people of all ages. Described as a high-tech game of hide-and-seek or scavenger hunt, geocaching is growing in popularity across South Carolina, throughout the United States and around the world. Geocaches are containers of varying size that contain items of modest value and a logbook. The basic rules of the game involve documenting your adventure in the logbook, and if you take something from the cache, leave something in its place of equal or greater value.

man told the newsp a p e r Saturday that there was no intention to hide Perdue the flights by not disclosing them in campaign finance reports. “The campaign did a lousy job of tracking flights,” Marc Farinella said. “It’s not that the data didn’t exist. It wasn’t in the right places, in the hands of the right people. Too much stuff fell through the cracks.” The State Board of Elections is set to meet Tuesday in Asheville to discuss its investigation into the governor’s campaign. One of the options being considered is holding public hearings where staffers and others who knew about the flights on private airplanes could be subpoenaed to testify. Former Gov. Mike Easley was fined $100,000 by the board last year after his campaign failed to report about $60,000 in private flights. Perdue released her list of 41 unreported flights shortly after her predecessor and fellow Democrat got in trouble.

TIME TO QUIT: Smoking can lead to dangerous health complications. TOMORROW

Neighbors: Vicki Knopfler vknopfler@hpe.com (336) 888-3601

ccording to the Home Safety Council, over half of families keep potentially dangerous chemicals and cleaners in unlocked places that are accessible by children. This can be particularly dangerous in households where young children are present. Dealing with a sick or injured child is one of the most difficult parts of our job, especially when the problem was preventable. As parents we need to be proactive FIREHOUSE when it comes to CHAT protecting our Lee children Knight from â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; poisons. Just a little planning and preparation could prevent serious injury or even death to a child. Every home with young children should have child locks installed on the cabinets. Make sure all poisons and chemicals, including medications, are stored in cabinets with locks. Do not assume placing these items on high shelves makes them safe. Children can climb chairs, drawers and even bookcases to reach some item we never dreamed they could reach. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cookie or a toy, we have a good laugh; if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a poison, the outcome could be much more serious. Always store chemicals and medicines in their original container to avoid misidentifying them. This is important for kids and adults. Imagine picking up what you think is a softdrink bottle and taking a drink but instead ingesting bleach or some other type of chemical or cleaner. Trying to remove childproof caps can be a struggle for adults, but make sure all medicines have childproof caps. I know it sometimes seems that the only person who can remove a childproof cap is a child. Still, with small children around, it is a necessary safety precaution that should not be ignored. Always have adequate ventilation, and never mix household chemicals while cleaning. You could create a chemical reaction that may produce very dangerous toxic fumes. If you have a poison emergency, dial 911 immediately. Then contact the American Association Of Poison Control centers at (800) 222-1222. I suggest you post this number with other emergency numbers on the refrigerator. The centers have trained staff on hand who can advise you and are available 24 hours a day. 24/7/365: You call; we respond. KENNETH LEE KNIGHT is a battalion chief in the High Point Fire Department. He can be contacted at kenneth.knight@highpointnc.gov.

Osteoporosis treatment worse than the illness?

ear Dr. Donohue: My dentist is having a fit because I take Boniva for osteoporosis. He talks about something called BON, which means degeneration of the jawbone. My arthritis specialist is, in turn, having a problem with my not taking it. Who do I listen to? – M.C.

BLONDIE

BON is bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis. Osteonecrosis is bone death. Bisphosphonates are the very popular drugs used to treat osteoporosis. They are Actonel, Boniva, Fosamax and Reclast. They bring more calcium into bones, like repairmen reinforcing the weakened supports of a building. Their safety record has been good. In a small number of patients, they cause the death of a relatively small patch of the jaw’s bone. Without denial, it happens, but it happens mostly to those using these drugs in high doses and intravenously for bones riddled with cancer. And it happens when a major dental procedure, like a tooth extraction, must be done. It’s a complication that all should be aware of. However, it should not be a source of such great worry that treatment of osteoporosis is neglected. If I had to choose between bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis or not using those drugs because of the very small risk of osteonecrosis, I would choose

treatment without hesitation. If the thought of BON makes you extremely HEALTH uneasy, then you Dr. Paul can ask Donohue for other ■■■ treatments – Forteo and Miacalcin, for example. And don’t forget to get the recommended amounts of vitamin D and calcium, along with exercise. Dear Dr. Donohue: We are advised to destroy medicines that have gone past their expiration date, have been replaced by other drugs or have been stopped by the doctor. Many hold on to these medicines in case they get sick again. I understand that most lose their potency. Can you tell me which ones might be a danger after their expiration date? – C.P. Expiration dates for medicines are set by law. A date two years after the drugs have been manufactured is the expiration date. However, most states require pharmacists, when they open a batch of drugs to fill a prescription, to set an expiration date of one year later. No evidence exists that outdated medicines are harmful or toxic. Loss of potency, however, can occur. A while back, the Army

conducted a large study of when medicines lose their strength. The results were that most medicines remained stable and active for an average of 57 months beyond their expiration date. Exceptions to that rule are nitroglycerin (the angina medicine) and EpiPen, the self-injected medicine used to quickly end a severe asthma attack or an allergic reaction in which blood pressure drops and the person is in danger of death. The longevity of medicines also depends on how they are stored. They should be kept in their original container and in a cool, dry place. The bathroom is not a good place for medicine storage. Heat, light, humidity and temperature fluctuations speed the deterioration of medicines. People shouldn’t hang on to medicines for future use. They can mistake current symptoms for the symptoms of a past illness. Secondly, all medicines have side effects that are balanced against the good they give when properly used. If improperly used, the side effects make medicine use a possible hazard. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

This year’s Mental Health Association fundraiser at the home of Christi and Brett Barbour will feature a yellow theme, just as last year’s did.

When yellow is green Mental Health Association relies on cookout for major funding BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – Officials of a local nonprofit organization hope this weekend’s yellowthemed fundraiser will help keep the group in the black. The second annual Yellow Bandana Evening, sponsored by the Mental Health Association in High Point, will be held Saturday, beginning at 6 p.m., at the home of Brett and Christi Barbour. Tickets, which must be reserved by Thursday, are $50 apiece, and all proceeds will benefit the local MHA affiliate. “This is becoming our new signature fundraiser,” says Ellen Cochran, executive director of the Mental Health Association in High Point. “It’s going to be a casual evening, but it’s going to be huge fun with lots of people and lots of good food, and it’s for a great cause.” The inaugural Yellow Bandana Evening last year raised approximately $18,000. The social affair will feature barbecue and chicken with all the fixin’s, with local businessman Michael Beaver doing the cooking. “Michael puts the meat in the smokers at 5 a.m., so it cooks

The evening will also include music by a deejay, as well as a drawing for the following items: high-end furniture items from the MHA’s Market Sample Store, Yorkshire Furniture and Sedgefield By Adams; a signed, limitededition print donated by High Point artist Mary Bogest; barbecue with fixin’s for eight, donated by Michael Beaver; a tailgate for eight, donated by Ann Levina, Linda Walser, Jean Wagoner, Faye Wright and Susan Allred; a Belk

Tickets for the drawing are $5 apiece, with proceeds benefiting the MHA. The fundraiser is critical to the success of the local MHA affiliate, according to Susan Allred, a longtime board member who chairs the Yellow Bandana Evening. “Our funding just gets continually cut, and we have to really

paddle our own boat,” Allred says. “To keep our programs in effect, we have to keep finding ways to bring in money, because the funding we have just keeps getting cut. Our programs are so important, though. When we can provide mental health care – if we can get someone in a program and help restore them to become a working, self-producing human being again – it makes such a huge difference.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Cancer fund renamed in memory of nurse BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – The name of a scholarship fund at High Point Regional Health System has been changed to honor the memory of a former employee who died this month. The CancerFitt Scholarship Fund, which provides money for cancer patients to participate in the health system’s CancerFitt exercise program, will now be known as the Laura Morrow

CancerFitt Scholarship Fund. Morrow, who served as the pulmonary nurse for the Heart Strides cardiac rehabilitation program, died Morrow of cancer Aug. 15, at the age of 59. “Her co-workers wanted to do something to honor her memory and preserve her name, and since she was instrumental in starting the (CancerFitt) program and was also a participant,

they thought that renaming the scholarship fund the Laura Morrow CancerFitt Scholarship Fund would be a perfect fit,” said Julie Samuels, major gifts officer for High Point Regional. Bobby Peterson, an exercise physiologist at the health system’s Fitness Center, where Morrow worked, said Morrow touched everyone she met. “She was always uplifting, always smiling, always worried about how someone else was doing, rather than how she was doing,” he said. “I never saw her

be down – she just always made you feel good.” Morrow was excited about the introduction of the CancerFitt program in 2005 and made a lot of friends in the program, so naming the scholarship fund for her is a fitting honor, Peterson added. Gifts for the scholarship fund can be directed to High Point Regional Health System, Laura Morrow CancerFitt Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box HP-5, High Point, NC 27261. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Wake Forest University’s Elder Law Clinic and Internal Medicine Geriatric Section have together joined the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP), a national network of partnership sites that are dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of vulnerable populations, including the elderly. The Elder Law Clinic, part of the university’s law school, and the Geriatrics Section, part of the medical school, have worked together for many years to teach young professionals and to provide holistic care to older adults. The MLP network includes programs in more than 200 hospitals and health centers nationwide that integrate legal assistance into the medical setting, seeking to eliminate barriers to health care in order to help vulnerable populations meet their basic needs and stay healthy. “We do a better job for our older clients and their families because of our unique access to medical expertise,” said clinical professor Kate Mewhinney, who has been the managing attorney of the Elder Law Clinic since its inception at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in 1991.

DOWN TWO West hastily split his honors, and South took dummy’s ace and led another club. West won, and the defense ran the hearts. East also cashed his ace of spades and the result was down two. “Unlucky to find West with both club honors,” South sighed. South needed to revise his flight plan. He could expect to set up some club tricks but forgot that 3NT was unmakable unless East had the ace of spades. At Trick Two, South should lead the queen of spades. When East wins, South is safe for nine tricks.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K Q 9 5 2 H K 7 D K 5 2 C 10 9 4. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade and he bids two diamonds. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: The problem lacks a good answer. You have the values to invite game, but no attractive invitational action exists. The problem may be even tougher if your partner often opens light hands. I’d try 2NT despite the weak clubs, but I can understand a timid return to two hearts. North dealer N-S vulnerable

Mixing business with pleasure will help you get involved in a project, leading to bigger and better opportunities. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): There will be too many variables to deal with, especially where social and money matters are concerned. An added burden will crop up, leaving you to make a hasty decision that can affect your love life and the people you live with and count on for stability and security. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Concentrate on home, family and personal relationships. A move or visiting someone who can shed light on your future will help to motivate you to move forward quickly.

Be willing to accept what belongs to you and to pay back any old debts. Self-deception or a lack of perspective will lead to professional and personal uncertainty. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Everything will depend on how you have treated people in the past and the friendships you have maintained over the years. Your ability to be articulate will determine how well you will do financially or when negotiating your position. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ask specific questions if there are things you don’t understand or feel are incomplete. Decisions must be made and responsibilities taken care of. Romance is in a high cycle so make an agreement regarding your current living arrangement. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep secrets to yourself. A false impression may lead you astray. An older individual will cause you to question what you are doing. Do everything in your power to keep the peace. ★★★

BRIDGE “I’d like to welcome you to Honolulu,” a Delta attendant announced as her flight rolled toward the gate. “Unfortunately, we just landed in Detroit.” Today’s declarer took the wrong approach at 3NT. West led the nine of hearts in response to East’s overcall, and when dummy played low, East overtook with the ten. South took his king and counted eight tricks. Since he was short of entries to his hand, he couldn’t start by running the diamonds. Instead, he led a club.

HOROSCOPE

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.

PUBLIC NOTICE SPA 10-039 The Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Medical Assistance provides notice of the negative 1.35% inflationary adjustment on Private Duty Nursing service rates effective September 1, 2010. Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Medical Assistance hereby provides notice of its intent to amend the Medicaid State Plan effective November 1, 2010, for the purpose of revising the North Carolina Private Duty Nursing Program to allow the rate for skilled nursing visits to be split between RN and LPN using a modifier to indicate the respective level of care provided to the recipient billing on a 15-minute increment. A new code will be added for Private Duty Nursing providers for use when billing congregate (multi-recipient) nursing services. The code for multi-recipient nursing will be used to bill for services when one nurse is providing care for more than one recipient residing in the same private primary residence. The modifiers are required when billing this code. The reimbursement rate for three or more recipients in the same residence will be at a ratio of the basic rate determined by the combined needs of the recipients.

Bison top first High Five BY MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE HIGH FIVE

HIGH POINT – The first High Point Enterprise High Five prep football poll brings a change at the top for the first time in nearly two years. High Point Central paces the survey with two first-place votes and 14 points after Friday night’s stirring 27-24 season-opening overtime victory at 4A power R.J. Reynolds. The Bison ended a streak of 18 consecutive weeks atop the rankings by Ragsdale. The last time the Tigers failed to own at least a share of the No. 1 rating was the second week of September, 2008. Ironically, Central held the No. 1 spot in that High Five. Southwest Guilford earned the second spot in the poll with the other first-place vote and 13 points following Friday night’s impressive 29-0 thumping of Southeast Guilford. Ragsdale secured third place in the poll with

Voting in The High Point Enterprise High Five prep football poll in balloting by the three-member Enterprise sports staff. Five points for first place, four points for second and so on. First-place votes in parenthesis. 1. HP Central (2) 14 2. SW Guilford (1) 13 3. Ragsdale 9 4. Thomasville 3 5T. Ledford 2 5T. Wheatmore 2 5T. Bishop McGuinness 2 Others receiving votes: None

all three third-place votes and nine points. The Tigers eased past Southern Guilford for a 21-14 triumph in their opener.

Thomasville, which cruised past Cox Mill 49-13 on Friday night, was a solid choice at No. 4 with three points. Three teams shared fifth place in the poll with two points. Wheatmore notched the first win in school history with a 33-18 triumph over South Davidson to crack the High Five for the first time. Joining the Warriors in fifth were Ledford, a 29-7 victor over Trinity; and Bishop McGuinness, which shut out High Point Christian 50-0. It marked the first-ever varsity football game for the Cougars. Six of our seven ranked teams are in action this week. Central plays host to Grimsley on Friday night, while Southwest entertains Eastern Guilford, Ragsdale travels to Dudley, Thomasville goes to Mount Airy, Ledford welcomes North Davidson and Wheatmore visits Providence Grove. Bishop enjoys an open date. mmckinney@hpe.com | 888-3520

Atwal continues first-time trend G

iven the recent history of the Wyndham Championship, maybe it should be called the First-Time Winner’s Open. Players with impressive victories on their resumes were in contention down the stretch at Sedgefield Country Club. Their past performances meant little as Sedgefield, which allowed it share of 62s, 63, 64s, turned into St. Adrews and Pebble Beach for some. Last year’s U.S. SPORTS Open champ Lucas Glover appeared Greer ready to challenge Smith the course record ■■■ when he fired a 29 on the front nine, then he played the backside in 3 over. Justin Leonard, a former British Open winner, moved into position to force a playoff, then hit a wayward tee shot and bogeyed 18. David Toms, a 12-time PGA Tour winner with a PGA Championship to his credit, made a late rush with two birdies in the last three holes to pull within one of the lead, putting pressure on a native of India to make par on the final hole to taste victory. Arjun Atwal, who has been on the Tour since 2006, remained steady enough. After sending his ball intentionally against the TV tower behind the 18th green, he sank the clutch putt to become the tournament’s third first-time PGA winner in four years and 15th in history. When it went into the Cup, he raised his hands in the air and clutched his head in disbelief after going from Monday qualifier to winner in seven days. “It was a long-time dream of mine to win out here,” Atwal said. “Until it happens you keep doubting yourself. I had my doubts teeing it up today, even though I had a 3-shot lead. Until you do it, you don’t know. I’m so glad that putt went in.” Standing over the putt, he was the most nervous he had ever been, even though he had made

Lou Piniella’s colorful career has spanned 48 years, from an aggressive outfielder with a sharp batting eye to a successful manager whose highlight-reel base-throwing tantrums sometimes overshadowed his baseball acumen. His family, from his relatives to his teammates and players, always has come first. And that’s why the leader of the Chicago Cubs decided to step down after Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Braves – he wants to spend more time with his ailing mother. The Cubs couldn’t send Piniella, who turns 67 Saturday, out a winner, playing sloppy baseball and losing to the Braves 16-5 to fall 23 games under .500. Third base coach Mike Quade was promoted to interim manager, getting the nod over bench coach Alan Trammell. Piniella finished with an overall record was 1,8351,713. hIS record with the Cubs was 316-293.

TOPS ON TV

--AP

Arjun Atwal of India holds the Sam Snead Cup on the 18th green after winning the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro on Sunday. Atwal won by a stroke Sunday at Sedgefield Country Club, becoming the first Monday qualifier to win on the tour in 24 years. putts to win on the Asian and European Tours. “My heart rate was probably like 150,” Atwal said. “But my caddy told me that I’ve made enough putts to win and I have. The last European Tour event that I won in Malaysia, I holed a 20footer to get into a playoff. I went back to that and a couple of other putts that I’ve made in my life and kind of calmed myself down.” Atwal came into the week with a go-for-broke attitude, since he had lost a medical exemption and his Tour card. He got everyone’s attention by shooting a courserecord tying 61 in the opening round, putting him in position to become the first wire-to-wire winner in Greensboro since 1999. “I came in here with nothing,” Atwal said. “I told my caddy we came in here with nothing to lose. We just had to go out and try to

win it. I don’t have a (Tour) card or anything. I just went out there and free wheeled it.” Atwal and his caddy had a goal of finishing at 21-under 261. Tiger Woods texted his friend and said that 21-under was what he needed. That appeared to be at least the number needed when Glover completed his six birdies in nine-hole blitz to make the turn at 20-under. Atwal and Glover started giving up shots, causing a sevenway tie for the lead at 18-under at one point. “It got crazy,” Atwal said. Atwal went back on top by making a pin-high birdie on 14 before catching his biggest break of the round when he sent his second shot to the left on the par5 15, not wanting to put his ball in the lake. Instead, it rolled to the base of a grandstand.

“That was the most nervous I was all day because I didn’t know if I hit it out of bounds,” Atwal said. He got up-and-down for par, then recovered quickly, hitting his tee shot on the par-3 16th to within 6-feet. He made birdie to go ahead for good. His next cause for trepidation came when he hit from a downhill lie on 18. Not wanting to leave his second-shot in one the bunkers short of the green, he sent it whistling to the base of the TV tower. “I told my caddy we had all the grandstands in the back and even if the shot went scooting ,it would hit one of the stands and be fine,” Atwal said. It was, in an ending fitting for Greensboro. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

WHO’S NEWS

on’t be surprised if T.W. Andrews fans and alumni feel a little extra pumped up today. That’s because two of the Red Raiders’ best football players of the past two decades will showcase their skills – if health permits – in tonight’s NFL preseason showdown between the Arizona Cardinals and Tennessee Titans. ESPN provides the live coverage starting at 8 p.m. And starting is just what Arizona safety Adrian Wilson and Tennessee defensive end William Hayes figure to do this season. Wilson enters his 10th pro season universally regarded as one of the league’s best

defensive backs. This three-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler ranks among the NFL’s hardest hitters and toughest cover men. His stats are eye-popping – 687 career tackles, 23 interceptions (two returned for touchdowns), 20.5 sacks and 12 forced fumbles. The numbers don’t tell the full story. Wilson, who owns a designer shoe store in Arizona named “High Point,” has already left a lasting imprint on the game. He may get his foot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame door before he is through. Hayes hopes to follow Wilson’s example. The former Winston-Salem State star enters

his third pro campaign firmly entrenched as a starter at defensive end after recording career highs in tackles (82), sacks (4), quarterback pressures (23) and forced fumbles (2) in part-time duty a year ago. The Titans expect big things from their 6-3, 272-pound defensive stalwart. Hayes, who lists fresh-water and salt-water fishing as hobbies, hopes to land plenty of opposing quarterbacks and ball carriers this season. Enjoy the game, Red Raider Nation. You should be proud.

Scully to return for 62nd season with Dodgers LOS ANGELES (AP) — In the autumn of his life, Vin Scully has decided to prolong summer for another year. The 82-year-old Hall of Fame broadcaster said Sunday he’ll return to the broadcast booth to call Los Angeles Dodgers games for his 62nd season in 2011 because “when push came to shove, I just did not want to leave.” Scully, whose nearly 61 years of service make him the longest tenured broadcaster in sports history, said he made the decision with the blessing of his wife, Sandy, and his five children. He has said that while he loves the job he’s had with the team since 1950, when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn, it’s increasingly hard to be away from his wife of 36 years.

Nationals’ Strasburg set for MRI exam

Rockies 1, D’backs 0 Colorado

Eastern Guilford at Southwest Guilford

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Stephen Strasburg’s right arm has the Nationals on edge again. Washington general manager Mike Rizzo said the team will wait for results of an MRI exam on Strasburg before deciding what to do with their injured ace right-hander. Strasburg strained a tendon in his right forearm in Saturday night’s start against the Phillies. Rizzo said he went through his normal post-start workout Sunday that included some light tossing, and he hopes to have the MRI results by the end of Sunday. Manager Jim Riggleman said it was “probably safe to say” Strasburg would miss his next start.

Weaver takes positives from Wyndham run BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Kyle Busch celebrates in victory lane with a broom after winning the NASCAR Cup Irwin Tools Night Race late Saturday night in Bristol, Tenn. Busch swept all three races held in Bristol last week, winning in the Truck, Nationwide and Cup Series.

Busch savors historic Bristol sweep BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As Kyle Busch crossed the finish line for a three-race sweep, his crew quickly credited the driver for his role in the record-setting moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in the presence of greatness,â&#x20AC;? a team member said over the radio. Indeed, they were. Busch completed an unprecedented sweep of three national races in one week, completing the trifecta with a victory in the Sprint Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway. He hoisted a broom in Victory Lane, where he made his third visit in four days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to do this since I got to NASCAR,â&#x20AC;? said Busch, who has tried for a three-race sweep five times in his career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love Bristol and I love winning. And to do it for the first time ever in NASCAR, to sweep the weekend, man, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty awesome.â&#x20AC;? Busch also won the Nationwide race Friday night, and the Trucks

race Wednesday night to become the first driver to complete the sweep since NASCAR expanded to three national series in 1995. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty good,â&#x20AC;? Joe Gibbs Racing president J.D. Gibbs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To do all three of those back-toback was a big deal.â&#x20AC;? The Cup victory, his third of the season and third in the last four at Bristol, was drama-free after another round in his ongoing feud with Brad Keselowski. Busch admitted to intentionally wrecking Keselowski late in the Nationwide race, and he celebrated that win by mockingly rubbing his eyes like a crying baby as the crowd showered him with boos. Keselowski vowed revenge over the public address system, to the delight of the Bristol crowd. The barbs continued all the way up to the start of the Cup race. As Busch was booed in pre-race introductions, he sarcastically told the

crowd, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aw, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so loving.â&#x20AC;? Keselowski was introduced moments later, taking the microphone and earning a thunderous cheer by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Brad Keselowski ... Kyle Busch is (a jerk).â&#x20AC;? There was almost no chance of an on-track altercation, though, as the two hardly raced near each other for most of the night. Keselowski did make it hard for Busch to pass him late in the race, when Keselowski was fighting not to go a lap down, but Busch made a clean move around him in his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota after several attempts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great job,â&#x20AC;? his team radioed after the pass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know,â&#x20AC;? Busch replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have more class.â&#x20AC;? Rogers reiterated that after Busch completed the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some wiseguys got introduced behind him, and he raced like a champion and handled it with class all day,â&#x20AC;? Rogers said.

Reutimann feels better after second place ings. He trails Clint Bowyer by 100 points for the 12th and final spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. But McMurray said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not focused on making the Chase field. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two races to go in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;regular season.â&#x20AC;? Bowyer rallied from an early pit-road speeding penalty to finish fourth in a Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, and he moved a step closer to locking down the final spot in the Chase. Mark Martin, who started the night 35 points Bowyer in 13th place, finished 23rd and is now 14th in the standings, 101 points out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two races to go, two good race tracks,â&#x20AC;? Bowyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

love Atlanta, run well there, and I love Richmond, run well there. With any luck at all, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in this thing.â&#x20AC;? Kasey Kahne was fifth in a Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports, and Ryan Newman was sixth in a Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing. Juan Pablo Montoya, McMurrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammate, finished seventh despite damage to his car from contact that wrecked four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson. The pole-sitter, Johnson finished 35th. Greg Biffle was eighth in a Ford for Roush-Fenway Racing, Penske Racingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kurt Busch was the highest finishing Dodge, and RFRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Kenseth rounded out the top 10.

Owen captures HPCC Junior Club Championship ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tanner Owen rolled to a nine-stroke victory for the boys overall championship in the High Point Country Club Junior Club Championship on Sunday. Owen followed his 75 at Willow Creek on Saturday with a 71 at Emerywood on Sunday to finish at 146 for the two-day, 36-hole event. Two golfers tied for second in the boys overall competition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thomas Walsh (81-74) and Harrison Frye (8075). Cam Weis took fourth at 171, followed by Hardin Councill at 172,

Zach Gilliam at 182 and Trevor Gay at 183. Morgan Brock earned the girls overall crown at 90-86â&#x20AC;&#x201C;176. Sarah Edwards took second at 115-122â&#x20AC;&#x201C;237. Owen Trevor Blevins won the boys 13-14 title at 8976â&#x20AC;&#x201C;165. Will Kemp placed second at 93-94â&#x20AC;&#x201C;187. In boys 11-12 (nine holes each day), Jake Weiland prevailed at 46-45â&#x20AC;&#x201C;91. Ryan Eskew secured second at 5146â&#x20AC;&#x201C;97. Ian Craig was third at 98 with Hunter Brock fourth at 109.

Power pads series lead with win at Sonoma SONOMA, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Will Power won at the track he had to be airlifted from a year ago, padding his IndyCar Series lead with a dominating run Sunday at Infineon Raceway. Power pushed his series lead to 59 points over Dario Franchitti.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; David Reutimann started Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NASCAR Cup night event at Bristol feeling under the weather. His night ended with a much better feeling. Reutimann rallied from a bout with food poisoning to finish second in a Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing, his first top-15 finish since winning at Chicago last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel really, really good about the finish, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not feeling so hot right now,â&#x20AC;? Reutimann said after the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to go to sleep at some point. Maybe now.â&#x20AC;? Jamie McMurray was third in a Chevrolet for Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing, a finish good enough to move him to 13th in the stand-

GREENSBORO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Drew Weaver acknowledged the crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearty ovation as he putted out on the 18th green. He wished his finish would have equaled his start in the final round of the Wyndham Championship. The former High Point Central star got out of the gate quickly, making birdie on two of the first three holes. He failed to sustain the momentum and when he bogeyed the final hole, narrowly missing a par putt, he finished at 2-under for a 11-under total â&#x20AC;&#x201C; good enough to tie for 41st. The effort was solid but unspectacular on a day when scores of five, six and seven under were common. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hit a lot of good shots,â&#x20AC;? Weaver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got a quick start, two under through three and it could have been a really low (round). But golf is like that sometimes. You stall out unfortunately and I did.â&#x20AC;? Weaver bogeyed seven, then narrowly missed birdie opportunities on 10, 11 and 12 before making a five-foot putt for birdie on 13. He recovered from pulling his tee shot to the left to make par on 14 and then birdied the par-5 15th while his playing partner Greg Owen found the lake and made double-bogey. Weaver narrowly failed to make birdie on 17 after an excellent second shot from a downhill lie. On 18, he pulled his tee shot into the woods

to the left, pitched into the fairway and hit his third shot about 12 feet from the pin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I managed to hang in there and play a solid round,â&#x20AC;? Weaver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could have been four or five under, but barring the bogey on 18, it was really good.â&#x20AC;? More importantly, Weaver gained confidence by making the cut on the PGA Tour for the second time. The other was at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. Open. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making the cut in the Open last year was great but to have so many close calls, it gets frustrating,â&#x20AC;? Weaver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friday was a big day, Saturday was a big day and I played well again today. I took a lot of positives away from this.â&#x20AC;? Weaver posted his best round on Saturday when he shot 64. â&#x20AC;?I feel like I worked hard for this week,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a goal of mine to play well here, I took a lot confidence away from this week for sure.â&#x20AC;? Weaver earned $17,365 for his effort, not quite half of the $42,361 that he has won on the eGolf Tour this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to make a big check,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of money for me. It makes me want to get out here faster.â&#x20AC;? He returns to the eGolf Tour in two weeks for a tournament in Farmville, Va., and is trying to get a sponsorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exemption so he can get another PGA start at the Viking Classic at the end of September in Madison, Mississippi. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

Braves roll, spoil Piniellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farewell THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Carolina quarterback Jimmy Clausen (bottom) loses the ball as he is sacked by New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jamaal Westerman (55) and Mike Devito (70) in the fourth quarter of the Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 9-3 win late Saturday night in Charlotte. The play was ruled dead and the Panthers retained the ball. Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense was lifeless throughout this preseason contest.

Offseason moves not helping Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; passing woes CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After Jake Delhommeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meltdown last season, the Carolina Panthers took drastic measures determined to turn around the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 27th-ranked passing offense. Delhomme, a seven-year starter who led Carolina to its only Super Bowl, was cut despite still being owed $12.7 million. Matt Moore was promoted to starter after a solid finish to last season, and the Panthers took Jimmy Clausen in the second round of the draft. The Panthers drafted two receivers in the third round, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t re-sign starter Muhsin Muhammad, then shook up their offseason workout program to spend extra time on the passing game. After all that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; passing game could look any worse halfway through the preseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely fixable,â&#x20AC;? left tackle Jordan Gross insisted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been widely known that we have a young team. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of new faces in the receivers and a new guy slinging the ball and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all going to come together overnight.â&#x20AC;? Coach John Fox was doing all he could late Saturday night to mimic

Bengals sign safety White CINCINNATI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Bengals have added safety Marvin White, signing the former fourth-round pick two days after Gibril Wilson was injured. The team announced the move on Sunday.

a political operative and try to put a positive spin on the Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9-3 loss to the New York Jets. Moore and Clausen are still learning, he said. The Panthers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t game plan and faced a lot of blitzing. The Jets had the top defense in the league last season. Top receiver Steve Smith (broken arm) is still sidelined. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to ignore just how bad the Panthers have looked in failing to score an offensive touchdown in two preseason losses. From overthrown passes to poor protection to drops by a myriad of underperforming receivers, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been brutal to watch with plenty of blame to go around. Many of Delhommeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18 interceptions last season came on overthrown passes, and it looked like a 2009 rerun when Moore airmailed a pass for rookie Brandon LaFell on Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first possession Saturday night. Jim Leonhard acted like a center fielder in picking it off. Then came drops by LaFell and Kenny Moore, while Dwayne Jarrett couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get open. Armanti Edwards, being converted from a college quarterback, looks overwhelmed as a receiver and punt returner.

Perhaps the most embarrassing part of the night was the Jets yanked their starters early in the second quarter, and the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first unit failed to pick up a first down in four possessions against the Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reserves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if surprised is the word,â&#x20AC;? Moore said of the slow progression of the passing game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I know is we need to keep working and there are plays there to be made and we know that, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of making them.â&#x20AC;? Moore was 6 of 17 for 57 yards and a passer rating of 21.0. There might be a quarterback controversy if Clausen had been halfway decent in the second half. But he was just 9 of 22 for 72 yards and a pick. Moore, who closed last season 4-1 as a starter, has thrown for 89 yards and has a passer rating of 34.9 in two preseason games. Clausen, though, has two interceptions and a passer rating of 35.0. The Panthers have managed three field goals in 28 offensive possessions against the Ravens and Jets. Moore will get his longest look of the preseason Saturday against Tennessee, when the starters play into the third quarter.

DURANT LEADS U.S. PAST SPAIN, 86-85

---

MADRID (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kevin Durant scored 25 points and made two crucial late blocks to help the United States beat Spain 86-85 on Sunday in a warmup game for the world championship. Durant blocked shots by Ricky Rubio and Rudy Fernandez after Derrick Rose put the Americans ahead with two free throws. The United States rallied after Spain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 13 points behind after three quarters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took a one-point lead on Juan Carlos Navarroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-point play with 27 seconds left. Navarro scored 20 points in the first game between the teams since the Americans won the 2008 Olympic final. It was the first loss in nine games for Spain, the defending world champion. The world championship begin Saturday in Turkey.

Cowboys offense remains a work in progress BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At first glance, Southwest Guilfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season opening 29-0 home win over Southeast Guilford looks like an easy blowout. And because of the Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense, the game was never in much doubt. But the defense will probably need to continue its stellar performance in the early part of the season while coach Scott Schwarzerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new flex option attack has time to iron out the kinks. The positives were obvious: 29 points, four different ball carriers with at least 69 yards, and touchdowns from three different players. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the nature of the offense, to attack defenses from all different angles, using as much brain as braun. And it requires patience. Of the Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 58 rushing attempts, 42 went for four yards or less. But that actually worked to Southwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantage in the long run, bringing virtually the entire Southeast defense within four yards of

the line of scrimmage. So when a Cowboy ball carrier got loose in the secondary, there was no last line of defense deep at safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe in what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing,â&#x20AC;? Schwarzer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna put eight in the box, and eventually weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna have to throw the ball a little bit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got answers when they put them in the box, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of executing.â&#x20AC;? Quarterback Airyn Willis broke a 71yard run en route to 127 yards on the ground, Herbert Bridges popped a 24yarder and a 32-yarder, Larry Edwards rumbled for a 77-yard gainer to the goal line. Dive back Aaron Fletcher averaged just over two yards on his first 14 carries before finding a seam for a 22yard touchdown run. Schwarzer alluded to the Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; need to establish a passing game, as Willisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only pass attempt was nowhere near its intended target. But the first time he pulled his new toy out of the box, the fourth-year coach enjoyed what he saw.

CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lou Piniella waved goodbye Sunday, bowing as out the Cubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manager and ending a career that spanned five decades after the Atlanta Braves routed Chicago 16-5. The 66-year-old Piniella announced before the game that he was leaving to be with his ailing mother. Third base coach Mike Quade was promoted to interim manager. The disappointing Cubs werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to send Piniella out as a winner. Omar Infante and Jason Heyward each hit a pair of home runs, and the Braves scored 11 times in the last three innings to break away.

PHILLIES 6, NATS 0 PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Roy Oswalt struck out eight in seven sharp innings and led the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-0 win over Washington on a rainy Sunday. Oswalt (9-13) has won three straight starts for the first time this season.

CARDINALS 9, GIANTS 0 ST. LOUIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jaime Garcia threw a threehitter for his first career shutout and fellow rookie Allen Craig hit a two-run home run for the Cardinals. During the game the Giants were awarded outfielder Cody Ross on a waiver claim from Florida.

ASTROS 2, MARLINS 1 MIAMI â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hunter Pence hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and Houston averted a series sweep by ending the Marlinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season-high five-game winning streak.

PADRES 7, BREWERS 3 MILWAUKEE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Adrian Gonzalez and Chase Headley each homered for San Diego. Jon Garland (13-8) had his scoreless-innings streak ended at 21 innings when he gave up Ryan Braunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18th home run in the fifth

PIRATES 2, METS 1 PITTSBURGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A slumping Zach Duke limited the Mets to one run over seven innings and Jose Tabata and Lastings Milledge homered, allowing the Pirates to salvage the final game of the three-game series.

ROCKIES 1, Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;BACKS 0 PHOENIX â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dexter Fowler hit a run-scoring single in the eighth inning and Jhoulys Chacin pitched 72â &#x201E;3 strong innings to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 1-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

YANKS 10, MARINERS 0 NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Robinson Cano hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high six runs, CC Sabathia extended his home winning streak to 15 decisions and the New York Yankees routed the Seattle Mariners 10-0 on a rain-slicked field Sunday.

NC makes little use of jobs program MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Greg Schimoler, of Mamaroneck, N.Y., drives the ball down a fairway at the Saxon Woods public golf course in Scarsdale, N.Y. The recession and changing family dynamics have taken a toll on both public and private golf courses.

Increasing costs, sagging economy drive away country club members MAMARONECK, N.Y. (AP) – A few weeds have popped up on the fairways, and summer’s heat has scorched the grass here and there, but the golf course at the Hampshire Country Club is still tidy and scenic, its little waterfall still burbling through the rocks. Not that there’s anyone around to notice. The Hampshire’s 18-hole course on Long Island Sound, along with its tennis courts, pool and restaurant, is closed this year. Members cited rising costs upwards of $25,000 a year for a membership as the roster fell from several hundred at its peak to about 100. “There was a lot of talk last year about the increasing costs, people not sure what they could pay, the assessments always going up,” said Barbara Mines, a member for 15 years who lives in a house on the Hampshire course. “I wasn’t really surprised when it closed.” The same thing has happened in recent years at hundreds of other courses nationwide – even in the golf meccas of Florida, Arizona and California – as the economic meltdown and changes in family dynamics combine to threaten club life. Whether it’s a $45,000 initiation fee for a private club or a $5 increase in the cost of a round at a public course, the price of a golf habit is giving some duffers pause. “It’s definitely connected to the economic conditions and the ability of potential private club members to pay the fairly significant initiation fees and annual dues,” said Jay Mottola, executive director of the Metropolitan Golf Association, representing 120,000 golfers and

500 golf courses in the New York region. In 2009, about 140 of the 16,000 golf facilities in the country closed and 50 opened, said Greg Nathan, a vice president at the National Golf Foundation, which represents 4,000 courses nationwide. Mottola said that the industry has lost 100 clubs a year for the past four years. (The figures count nine-hole courses as half a facility.) Many members who “have had their individual problems with the recession” quit

‘When things were booming, you add $500 or $1,000 to the dues and it wasn’t even an issue. ‘ Mitchell Mandel President, The Muttontown Club the clubs for financial reasons, Mottola said. Initiation fees for MGA clubs averaged just under $50,000 last year; annual dues were about $10,500. Mottola said while the fees were “trending downward” they remained the highest in the country. In areas of the country where golf is played year-round, many courses were built to raise the prices of new houses around them, said Roger Garrett, a Phoenix real estate agent who has sold more than 150 golf courses nationwide.

Now, with the housing market depressed, a dozen or more golf properties in Arizona are in foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings, he said. The family owned Sea Island Co. – with a stretch of private beaches and ancient oaks in coastal southern Georgia – also has filed for federal bankruptcy protection, proposing to sell its resorts and golf courses, where presidents Coolidge, Eisenhower and George W. Bush have been guests. A dwindling in the ranks of golfers followed an oversupply of golf courses and then the great recession hit. Mottola said courses owned by municipalities are “by and large doing OK.” The town of Woodbridge, Conn., bought the Woodbridge Country Club last year for $7 million to keep it from being developed. “We did not want to lose that green space,” said First Selectman Ed Sheehy. “...The nice thing is, it’s green space with an income stream” – $950,000 the first year, with golfers paying only $3,500 for a full membership. Clubs are looking at several strategies to lure people back. The Muttontown Club in East Norwich temporarily dropped its initiation fees – once as high as $60,000 – and welcomed members from a nearby club that closed, said president Mitchell Mandel. “When things were booming, you add $500 or $1,000 to the dues and it wasn’t even an issue,” he said. “But in the last three years or so, not only can’t you raise dues but people were looking for a reduction.”

Former BofA CEO calls lawsuit ‘implausible’ NEW YORK (AP) – Lawyers for former Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis said in a court filing that a lawsuit accusing him of misleading investors during the company’s 2009 merger with Merrill Lynch was “implausible” and “inconsistent,” and should be tossed out. The filing was a response to a civil lawsuit submitted by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in February which accused Lewis and Bank of America of failing to properly disclose losses and bonuses at Merrill before the deal closed. At the time, attorneys for Lewis

DILBERT

had called the suit “misguided,” but they elaborated on that criticism in a lengthy legal filing Wednesday that both praised the merger as “an unmitigated financial and strategic success” and condemned Cuomo for distorting the facts. It added that Cuomo’s claim that Lewis was motivated by greed and hubris “flies in the face of the actual facts and rational logic.” Lewis, they noted, held millions of shares of Bank of America stock, and stood to lose a lot if the merger wasn’t successful. Cuomo’s office released a statement saying it stood by its allegations.

A federal jobs program designed to cover workers’ wages with stimulus funds is set to expire next month having barely put 1,000 to work in North Carolina, one of the lowest rates in the country. Three-fourths of the state’s counties, including Wake and Durham, didn’t apply for the money. Wake County manager David Cooke said he was not involved in Wake County’s decision but said the program was not necessarily a good deal for the county. “There’s no such thing as free money,” he said. “In most cases it’s false economics: Here’s some more work for you to do if you accept ‘free’ money. We’re all dealing with declining revenues or flat revenues. We have passed on certain stimulus programs because the additional requirements that you’re not compensated for aren’t worth taking on for the stimulus money.” The subsidized jobs go to hardluck cases with slim chances of employment: people stuck in the welfare cycle, dislocated by layoffs, or unable to find work due to criminal convictions. In Edgecombe County, which has one of the highest unemployment rates in the state, the jobs program has led to temporary hiring of highschool dropouts in manufacturing plants that make swimming pool accessories, plastic containers and wooden crates. “It’s one of the most dynamite programs for a small business that has come along in a long time,” said Virgil Cobb, president and CEO of Cinda Corp., a Charlotte building supply company that hired five people, including three with criminal records. The bulk of the stimulus program is expected to put 105,000 to work in this state by next year, largely by funding construction, infrastructure and home weatherization projects. But the lesser-known jobs program is different in that the government directly pays the wages – typically $8 to $13 an hour in North Carolina – of people who work for small businesses and, in some cases, local government agencies. It has put an estimated 130,000 low-income adults to work across the country. Most of those people will be out of work again when the program expires Sept. 30 unless the U.S. Senate votes to extend it, but for a few, the temporary jobs have led to full-time offers. One of those who’d love to continue permanently is Christina Harris, 26, a mother of two preschoolers who has been working since July 29 at A Southern Season, the gourmet food company in Chapel Hill. She makes $10.12 an hour. “I really help out everywhere they need me,” Harris said. “It’s a totally different experience than working with the public as a cashier.”

Taiwanese exec barred from leaving US TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) – The chief executive of a leading Taiwanese LCD screen maker has been barred from leaving the U.S. during a U.S. Justice Department probe into alleged price-fixing, the company said. Hsinchu-based AU Op-

tronics Corp. said in a statement filed Saturday with Taiwan’s Stock Exchange that a U.S. court has demanded its chief executive, Chen Lai-juh, stay in the United States until his trial on price-fixing allegations begins.

A federal grand jury in San Francisco indicted AU Optronics’s Houstonbased U.S. subsidiary and six company officials, including Chen, in June on charges of conspiring to fix prices of LCD panels worldwide from 2001 to 2006.

Obama can’t shed his entourage motorcycle officers, in a protective cocoon of Secret Service agents. Tagging along for the quick trip Friday were White House communications trucks, an ambulance and two vans full of reporters and photographers. This may be down time for Obama, but like all modern presidents, he must move about with a not insignificant entourage.

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) – Scientists plan to monitor corals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands next month for signs of bleaching that could harm the reefs. Corals become stressed and expel the algae that live inside them when temperatures are warmer than normal. This causes corals to lose their color and appear white. Corals may die if this continues for extended periods, depriving fish of vital food and habitat.
