PILLARS OF FAME: Housing authority honors former residents. 1B

HIGH POINT – After a long search for financing, construction has started on a new public housing community that officials hope will serve as a catalyst for redevelopment in one part of southeast High Point. Ground was broken last week on the first phase of new development on the site of the former Clara Cox Homes housing project. Grading and other work

two phases of the community, dubbed Park Terrace, are projected to include a total of 172 apartment units and are scheduled to be complete next year, with the first buildings available for occupancy in the spring. The entire project is expected to comprise 220 multifamily units and 15 single-family homes. High Point Housing Authority officials who are overseeing the project said they expect to begin leasing efforts by the end of this year.

“Perseverance pays off. After the Clara Cox site was demolished, it seemed like all efforts to get public funds or private development to replace the housing was nowhere to be found,” said authority board Chairman Bob Davis. “The ultimate goals of the authority are to complete the Clara Cox site and to continue to rehabilitate the surrounding area into a beautiful and livable place for the community and

Thomas Built Buses receives production order from Kentucky school districts

----

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Thomas Built Buses recently received a production order through Kentucky school districts in part because of the federal stimulus and the push toward more environmentally friendly vehicles. Thomas Built Buses has begun deliveries of 20 SafT-Liner C2e hybrids to 13 Kentucky school districts, with the potential for additional hybrid bus orders in the near future, the company reports. The hybrid is powered by an EPA-compliant Cummins diesel engine and Eaton hybrid-electric parallel system developed jointly by Thomas Built Buses, Eaton Corp. and Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp. The purchase by the Kentucky school districts was made possible by a $12.9 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant to the state of Kentucky, which will allow the state to replace up to 200 of its oldest buses with cleaner hybrid buses. Thomas Built’s hybrid Saf-T-Liner is expected to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy by 30 percent or more, the company reports. When the federal stimulus was passed early last year, school bus industry officials hoped some of the money would help public

Bus frames move along the production line at Thomas Built Buses plant in High Point. school districts with bus purchases. The stimulus included about $54 billion to backfill cuts made in public education, as well as $300 million to reduce diesel vehicle emissions through the Environmental Protection Agen-

cy. School bus industry officials have said the diesel emissions money could go toward reimbursing states and communities for part of the cost of replacing older school buses with a vehicle reaching or exceeding new environmental standards.

Thomas Built Buses has gone through ups and downs during the past couple of years with its work force. During the brunt of the recession in 2008, the bus manufacturer laid off about 400 workers. Earlier

this year, Thomas Built Buses recalled 99 employees because of an upturn in orders, but earlier this summer eliminated 90 jobs to reflect fewer orders for buses.

WALLBURG – Wallburg officials are hopeful a joint incentives package with Davidson County will be enough to restore the former Tyco Electronics plant on Gumtree Road as the young town’s largest employer. The Wallburg Town Council on Tuesday night will consider its first incentives package for the town that incorporated in 2004. Davidson County commissioners and the Town Council are considering an incentives package to entice “Project Plus” to locate to Wallburg. County and town officials are considering buying the former Tyco Electronics building at 5568 Gumtree Rd. for the code-named project. Project Plus would provide 500 jobs within seven years

and invest $7.6 million in plant, machinery and equipment, according to Steve Googe, executive director of the Davidson County Economic Development Commission. “Anytime a community ... has a facility that is vacant, it’s a positive to get something back in there that could produce revenue, can get people jobs and can help with the structure of the county,” said Wallburg Mayor Allen Todd. Todd and other officials contacted Wednesday would not release details about Project Plus. Serving as the town’s largest employer, Tyco Electronics employed about 400 workers in Wallburg at the time of its closure last October, town officials said. It once employed 1,400 employees at its peak, according to Googe. “Right now, I can’t think of anything that’s more important

than creating jobs,” Councilman Steve Yokeley said. “In particular, we have a huge building that’s empty, and I think right now the most important thing we could do is figure out a way to create jobs. That’s what this is doing.” Members of the Town Council also say they don’t mind offering incentives for the first time in the town’s history to bring the 500 jobs. “As long as it’s done in the right way and right manner, I do not have a problem with it,” Yokeley said, adding that the incentives package would be contingent on the amount of jobs the company provides. Under the agreement, the Town Council and commissioners would appropriate a combined $1.5 million for the purchase of the building. The company would lease the building back through Davidson

County and Wallburg for $75,000 for 20 years. In return, Wallburg and Davidson County would combine for an economic development grant of $75,000 annually for 20 years, Googe said. “As far as going along with Davidson County, we definitely want to be on board with Davidson County and we want to create more jobs as well,” said Councilman Lynn Reece. Town and county officials say the project’s identity likely will be released Tuesday night. Davidson County Commissioner Don Truell said the company is not related to Caterpillar, which announced its plans in July to build a parts plant for large mining machines in Winston-Salem and employ about 510 full-time and contract workers in five years. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Shot clinic has Tdap appointments

SC principal: 2nd student questioned in shooting COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – The principal of a South Carolina high school where pipe bombs were discovered and disarmed after a shooting confirmed Wednesday that a second student was being questioned in the incident. Socastee High School principal Paul Browning said police asked the second student about the Tuesday afternoon event at the school in the northeast part of the state, and the student was released to his parents. The incident began when a freshman confronted an on-campus officer and fired a gun before being taken into custody, police said. Students were evacuated to a football field and bomb squads removed and disarmed the explosive devices. The students returned to school Wednesday after walking through metal detectors, which will be used for the rest of the week. Detectives also interviewed other students Wednesday about the incident and reports that comments had been posted on a social networking site before the shooting, Browning said. He could not confirm that any of the comments came from the freshman. School resource officer Erik Karney encountered the freshman Tuesday afternoon and the two got into a struggle, Horry County Police spokesman Sgt. Robert Kegler said. During the fight, the student shot at Karney, and while the bullet missed him, the officer was injured after it struck a wall, Kegler said. Karney subdued the student and took him into custody. Karney was later treated and released from a hospital. Police said they also found items “consistent with the construction of pipe bombs and other incendiary devices” at the freshman’s Myrtle Beach home. The student has not been identified because of his age. He is expected to appear in Family Court in Conway on Friday, prosecutor Greg Hembree said. Hembree intends to bring a charge of attempted murder against the teen and wants to prosecute him as an adult, though a judge will have to rule on such a request.

leaving voluntarily. But detectives “found evidence of drug usage” and heard from witnesses who said Hamilton badly needed medical attention, care that she never got, police said. Harvey blamed Hamilton’s death on drugs. “She overdosed in her sleep. This is not murder. This is not a murder at all,” he told reporters Tuesday just before declaring to a Niagara County, N.Y., judge he would not fight his extradition to North Carolina. Harvey was arrested at the home of longtime friend Paul Maikranz, who said Harvey denied killing Hamilton and said it was a liaison gone wrong. “He was out with the girl Wednesday (morning), they went to his house and you know they were doing things and his roommate walked in so they went and got a hotel room.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Authorities waited Wednesday for the return of the man accused of killing a police chief’s daughter and the autopsy report that may force them to revisit an early murder charge. Michael Neal Harvey, 34, was expected to return to Charlotte within hours or days, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police spokeswoman Rosalyn Harrington said Wednesday. He was arrested in Niagara Falls, N.Y., on Monday after police issued an arrest warrant accusing him of murder in the death of Valerie Hamilton, 23. She was the daughter of Merl Hamilton, police chief of the Charlotte-area city of Concord. Hamilton was seen leaving a Charlotte tavern with Harvey early in the morning of Sept. 15, police said. Witnesses said she appeared to be

Chambers was convicted in 2008 of being a habitual felon and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Investigators say he was using the phone as part of a drugdealing operation. It could not be immediately determined Wednesday if Chambers has a lawyer.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina prison officials say an inmate from Raleigh tried to smuggle a cell phone into prison in his rear end.

Chambers handed over a flattened piece of metal hidden in his

This photo taken Wednesday, outside Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia, S.C., shows some of the thousands of cell phones South Carolina prison officials say are confiscated each month from the state’s prisons. Gov. Mark Sanford on Wednesday pushed federal regulators to act on a petition that would allow South Carolina prisons to use equipment to jam cell signals coming from smuggled phones.

SC governor: Feds should let prisons jam devices COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Flanked by dozens of wardens and a prison officer authorities say was nearly killed in an attack planned with a smuggled cell phone, Gov. Mark Sanford on Wednesday implored federal regulators to let South Carolina jam the signals of cell phones being used illicitly by prisoners. “If we leave the things the way that they are, the federal government is fundamentally perpetuating an injustice, on the people of this state, and frankly, the people of this nation,” Sanford said at a maximum security prison in Columbia. Sanford urged the Federal Communications Commission to act on a nearly two-year-old request from Corrections Dept. Director Jon Ozmint to conduct a pilot jamming program inside a state prison. Ozmint says 30 other states signed on to that request. The FCC has taken no action and did not immediately comment Wednesday. Regulators have said a 1934 law allows only fed-

and months of rehabilitation. “I don’t want someone else to go through what I’ve gone through. ... I would like to tell the industry to come talk to me and get off their bottom dollar and do what’s right, and that is block cell phones,” said Johnson, 57, who walks with a cane and does not know if he’ll go back to work as a prison guard. CTIA-The Wireless Association, which represents cell phone compa-

nies, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Authorities say Johnson is the first U.S. corrections officer harmed by a hit ordered from an inmate’s cell phone, but other people have been targets. A New Jersey inmate serving time for shooting at two police officers used a smuggled phone in 2005 to order a fatal attack on his girlfriend, who had given authorities information leading to his arrest.

25 insurgents die in attack in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Insurgents attacked a NATO and Afghan army outpost in eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border and at least 25 of the militants were killed in the resulting skirmish, officials said Wednesday. Troops at the combat outpost in Spera district of Khost province returned fire with mortars late Tuesday, killing 25 to 30 insurgents, NATO said in a statement. Initial reports found there were no civilian casualties, it said.

Bomb attack kills 12 people in western Iran TEHRAN, Iran â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A bomb exploded at a military parade in northwestern Iran on Wednesday, killing 12 spectators in an attack that one official blamed on Kurdish separatists who have fought Iranian forces in the area for decades. The blast in the city of Mahabad, close to the borders with Iraq and Turkey, also wounded 75 people, Iranian media reports said. Most of the victims were women and children, said provincial Governor Vahid Jalalzadeh.

Experts: Flotilla raid broke international law GENEVA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A report by three U.N.-appointed human rights experts Wednesday said Israeli forces violated international law when they raided a Gaza-bound aid flotilla killing nine activists earlier this year. The U.N. Human Rights Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fact-finding mission concluded that Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s naval blockade of the Palestinian territory was unlawful because of the humanitarian crisis there, and described the military raid on the flotilla as brutal and disproportionate.

Besieged militants battle Yemeni troops SANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;A, Yemen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Al-Qaida militants holed up in a village in south Yemen on Wednesday fought off repeated attempts by troops backed by tanks and heavy artillery to retake the besieged town, officials said. Thousands of people have fled Hawta and the surrounding area in Shabwa province since security forces laid siege to the village three days ago. The operation signals an escalation in the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S.-backed campaign to uproot the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local offshoot, known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.

Violence in east Jerusalem clouds peace efforts JERUSALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Crowds of Palestinian youths violently rampaged in east Jerusalem Wednesday following the shooting death of a local man, clouding fragile peace efforts even as the Palestinian president signaled he may back away from threats to quit negotiations if Israel resumes West Bank settlement construction. At one point, Israeli riot police stormed the hilltop compound

known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the place where the last Palestinian uprising began almost exactly 10 years ago. That uprising â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which killed thousands of people over some five years of violence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; erupted after a failed U.S.-led peace effort at Camp David. Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outburst comes less than a month after the sides resumed peace nego-

tiations, at a tense moment when those talks are already facing possible collapse over Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans to end its 10-month slowdown of construction in the Jewish settlements of the West Bank. Clashes erupted in the Silwan neighborhood shortly after a 32year-old Palestinian man, Samir Sirhan, was killed by a private Israeli security guard watching over Jewish families in the area.

Obama refines approach to world aid UNITED NATIONS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obama on Wednesday defended U.S. aid to impoverished people even during sour economic times at home yet promised a sterner approach, favoring nations that commit to democracy and economic revival. Addressing world leaders, Obama offered no new commitments of U.S. dollars, but rather a blueprint of the development policy that will drive his governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts and determine where the money flows. His message was that the United States wants to help countries help themselves, not offer aid that provides short-term relief without reforming societies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not development, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dependence,â&#x20AC;? Obama said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cycle we need to break. Instead of just managing poverty, we have to offer nations and people a path out of poverty.â&#x20AC;? Obama spoke at a major anti-poverty summit convened by the United Nations, one day ahead of his main speech to the U.N. General Assembly. The president is in the midst of a three-day trip to the U.N. for its annual meeting. World leaders on Wednesday were wrapping up an intensive review of the poverty reduction goals adopted 10 years ago.

Photo of the burned-out home where realtor Vivian Martin, 67, was found dead on the kitchen floor is shown Wednesday in Youngstown, Ohio. Two real estate agents were killed in vacant homes for sale and another was robbed, all within a week, prompting frightened agents in northeast Ohio to cancel open houses and avoid meeting prospective buyers alone.

2 Ohio real estate agents killed; 1 robbed YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorities say two real estate agents were killed and another was robbed in the past week in northeast Ohio. Police say the robbery and one of the deaths appear to be related, and two brothers have been arrested. Paul and Robert Brooks of

Youngstown are accused of robbing a woman who showed them an apartment in nearby Boardman Township on Sept. 15. The Vindicator newspaper reports the body of another real estate agent was found in a burning home Monday night in Youngstown.

Boardman police Capt. Donald Hawkins says the cases are similar but the brothers have not been charged in the homicide. Authorities say the body of a third agent was found Tuesday in a vacant house he was trying to sell in Portage County, about 40 miles west of Youngstown.

Pipeline explosion death toll climbs to 7 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Officials on Wednesday confirmed the deaths of three members of a family from a pipeline explosion that ripped through a residential suburb, bringing the total number of victims to seven. Investigators used DNA to identify Lavonne Bullis, 85, and her son Gregory Bullis, 50, as victims of the Sept. 9 blast. Gregory Bullisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; son, William James Bullis, 17, was

identified after an examination of remains found at the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in San Bruno. Staff worked quickly to make the identifications, said San Mateo County coroner Robert Foucrault. The state Department of Justiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missing persons unit performed the DNA tests. Four other people died in the explosion nearly two weeks ago: Jacqueline Greig, 44, and her 13-year-

old daughter Janessa Greig; their neighbor, Elizabeth Torres, 81, and 20-year-old Jessica Morales. Four injured people remained at Saint Francis Memorial Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burn unit; three were in critical condition, and one was stable, a hospital spokeswoman said. The National Transportation Safety Board was investigating the cause of the explosion that leveled nearly 40 homes.

Egg company leaders offer few answers WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The heads of two Iowa egg farms linked to as many as 1,600 salmonella illnesses this summer gave Congress few answers in testimony about the conditions at their farms Wednesday, as one executive would not testify and the other did not answer many of the lawmakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; questions.

The owner of Wright County Egg, Austin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jackâ&#x20AC;? DeCoster, said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;horrifiedâ&#x20AC;? to learn that his products might have been the cause of the illnesses. The CEO of Hillandale Farms, Orland Bethel, cited his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and did not answer questions. Hillandale Farms and

Wright County Egg recalled a half-billion eggs in August after tests of products turned up potentially positive for the bacterium Salmonella enteritidis, the strain responsible for the recent

outbreak. Wright County Egg supplies feed and chickens to Hillandale. Before lawmakers called Bethel to testify, two witnesses recounted how they were sickened by tainted eggs.

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A report says treatment has improved substantially at U.S. hospitals for several ailments including heart attacks, pneumonia and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asthma. The report released on Wednesday is based on more than 3,000 hospitals accredited by the Joint Commission, an independent regulatory group. On average, hospitals in the report gave recommended heart attack treatment almost 98 percent of the time in 2009, versus 89 percent in 2002. That includes aspirin upon arriving and aspirin and beta blockers upon leaving.

Xavier was only four years old on the day his mother was killed in a tragic accident in 2007. Fortunately, his loving grandmother was able to assume custody of Xavier and his two siblings, now ages 13 and 3. Hospice of the Piedmont, a United Way partner agency, provided the family with grief counseling to help them all cope. The YWCA also stepped in with scholarships for the children to attend the summer programs and after-school programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the YWCA and all the help they have given us, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how I could do it,â&#x20AC;? says Xavierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother. Xavier, now a second grader at Kirkman Park, has learned to swim and says he really likes the fun activities at the YWCA --- especially the cookouts and a special trip to the NC Zoo! Xavierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother is simply thankful he is getting help with his homework after school, in a safe and fun environment. This is possible because of your support of United Way and the programs offered by The YWCA, so on behalf of Xavier and his grateful family, thank you!

Do unto animal abusers as they do to animals I have a good idea. When they catch the people who burn or throw acid on dogs, let’s tie them to a tree and do the same to them! Any comments? I think not. When I see a young man walking down the street with a pit bull on a leash, I think “There goes an animal leading an animal.” People who fight dogs or any animal have given up their rights to be called human, and if more people like me were in charge, they would get their just rewards. Do I sound hardhearted? I am when it comes to protecting the elderly, children and animals. If children don’t have a good role model at home, you better believe that the streets will give them one. I can’t say what I started to type in this letter about animal abusers, but I think most people know what I would have said and the paper couldn’t have printed it. CLAUDE PRUITT Trinity

High Point needs new ideas that Wagner would bring I read Elijah Lovejoy’s column Sept. 16, “Who will unite High Point’s competing districts?” He quoted Tom Terrell’s comments Sept. 5 that revitalization of High Point’s “downtown” will not happen. Why does Terrell say that? What gives him the authority to make such a profound statement? This town is so far behind it is going to take a long time to rebuild and recover what has already been lost. It seems as though our current leaders like the situation the way it is now. It is a shame and disgrace there is so little to do here. It is no wonder our people go to other cities to shop or dine out. People who claim they are making good

decisions for this city should get off their behinds and talk to the people. Nov. 2 is on the way, and we have a young man running for mayor. His name is Jay Wagner. He seems to have wonderful ideas for a better tomorrow for the city and the people here. His ideas are young and full of promise, ideas that we the people have longed for for sometime – to fill up the empty spaces in the furniture showrooms vacated by those companies that have little regard for our city. He wants to revitalize the downtown as well as Uptowne. His vision is a better town to live and play, a place where industry would like to come and stay because this city has a lot to offer. I can only hope and pray that on Nov. 2 people who have want-

ed a better High Point will consider who will do our city justice. We need someone who will unite not only Uptowne but downtown High Point to make this town a shining example for industry and a great place to raise a family. LOIS WHITE High Point

Phillips makes the correct move

CORRECTION

he Phillips Collection, a High Point furnishings and design company, certainly eliminated a potential headache for High Point City Council, and probably the company itself, when its officials withdrew a request this week for a $100,000 incentives grant from the city. A hearing on the request had been scheduled by City Council this week, but it was canceled after Phillips Collection officials withdrew the request. The Phillips Collection, however, will continue with its plans to move from a Kivett Drive location to the old Rose Furniture building on Finch Avenue in south High Point. The request for incentives had generated a number of questions about the city’s incentives policy and even had drawn the attention of a North Carolina-based group that is critical of state and local moves to grant incentives for economic development. The incentives request also had put into a bad light the idea of creating a furniture and accessories design center incubator in conjunction with moving the business. Phillips Collection officials made the right call to withdraw the incentives request and to make the move to new facilities without tying that to the use of any local incentives. Mark Phillips, president and CEO, said the original project has now been divided into two phases, with the move to Finch Avenue being Phase 1 and not requiring financial assistance. The idea of creating a furniture industry design incubator in the business’ new location – which we see as a positive endeavor to pursue – is still a priority with company officials, Phillips said. It is likely that the idea will come to City Council at another time in a separate request for funding, and that is as it should be. When Phillips Collection officials return to City Council, they would be wise to have the incubator proposal fully developed so city officials and the public can take a thorough look to evaluate it. A detailed plan of action for the idea could find favor in City Council chambers and in the public at large. In fact, if this proposal is done right and is successful, it might prove to be the prototype for similar incubators for other types of small businesses. And we all know the importance of small businesses to our economy.

Some are victims of a need to punish someone

t was once a staple plot of TV westerns: There’s been a vicious killing. Everybody knows who did it – or thinks they know – and the posse wants to string the varmint up. No need for the bother of a trial. The crime was outrageous, people are furious. So get the rope, find a tree. Watching, you’d be glad we’ve moved beyond frontier justice, glad the howling of the mob can no longer stampede us into condemning an innocent man. Anthony Graves would beg to differ. In 1992, he was arrested for a multiple murder that roiled the tiny Texas town of Somerville. A 45-year-old woman, her 16-year-old daughter, and four children, all younger than 10, had been beaten, stabbed and shot to death and their home torched. No physical evidence linked Graves to the crime. He had no motive to butcher six strangers. Three witnesses placed him at home at the time of the murders. And in the end, it didn’t matter. Graves was convicted and sentenced to die solely on the word of one Robert Carter, father of one of the murdered children. Carter had shown up to his son’s funeral with his hands, neck and ears heavily bandaged, the result, he said, of having accidentally burned himself while doing yard work. Questioned by authorities, he said he had driven Graves, his cousin by marriage, to the victims’ house and sent him up to the door after Graves asked if Carter knew any women. Carter, who had just been slapped with a paternity suit for his now-dead son, claimed Graves, for some unknown reason, simply went berserk. Eventually, Carter backed off that story, saying he alone was responsible for the crime. Over the years, he would say repeatedly – including at his execution in 2000 – that he had lied. Anthony Graves had nothing to do with it. And that would not matter, either. The tale is recounted in the new issue of Texas Monthly magazine (www.texasmonthly.com). To read Pamela Colloff’s report is to be sobered by the degree to which public outrage still drives death penalty decisions. It was an awful crime and people “needed” to see someone punished for it. Indeed,

Somerville mayor Tanya Roush told the Austin American Statesman that her town was impatient with the idea of a trial. “They’re saying, ‘Bring back the hangin’ tree, and save the taxpayers’ money.’ ” “There was a lot of presOPINION sure in this community to get convictions,” says Colloff. “No Leonard one stopped along the way and Pitts said, ‘Hey, wait a minute. Does ■■■ this case make any sense?’ It just kept moving forward.” And because it did, Anthony Graves – 26 when he was arrested, 45 now – has lost years he can never get back. He may yet lose his life. What has happened and “is” happening to him is obscene. Graves is a victim of, and may yet become a martyr to, that need to see someone punished. Unfortunately, there is often an inverse relationship between that need and justice. The more you have of the former, the less likely you are to find the latter. And having condemned this man on evidence so flimsy as to profane the very notion of justice, prosecutors apparently find it impossible to back down and admit the self-evident. So Graves, who won a retrial in 2006 after 12 years on death row, will return to court in February where the DA will try to convict him again. We stand witness to a monstrous wrong perpetrated out of that vestigial sense of frontier justice in the American psyche which says some crimes are so heinous they demand we bypass niggling questions of evidence, motive, proof, even fairness, on the way to the hanging tree. Some crimes leave communities outraged and demanding punishment and there are those who say those emotions are the reason we must put people to death. Actually, they are a pretty good reason we should not. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail him at lpitts@miamiherald.com.

Friendly conversation does you good

Let your vote say wisdom doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t originate in Washington BY SAMUEL E. HANCOCK

GUEST COLUMN

would like to mention a few facts about the various factions competing in the upcoming national election. Although I could list a litany of errors concerning the present administration, I will limit my comments to the broader issues. This nation was founded on the principles of personal freedom and responsibility. I will admit the problem of slavery was glossed over because of the compromises different people made in bringing all concerned to the table. My purpose is not to qualify the rightness or wrongness of this course of action. However, the Constitution was written and ratified by the requisite states and became the law of the land. Each and every president elected has placed his hand on a Bible and sworn to uphold the principles therein. There have been a few, who through extra-legal means or outright impu-

---

nity have tried to evade the restrictions placed upon the federal government by this document. None with such outright arrogance as the present officeholder. He has used his power and Democratic congressional super-majority to flagrantly violate any number of checks and balances that were put in place to specifically prohibit such evasions. And yet every speech he gives he says the Republicans are thwarting the programs and policies he knows will relieve the present malaise. Why would he deliberately lie and say this, if he has the requisite votes of his own party to pass any legislation he proposes? This is only the latest of the obfuscations and untruths foisted upon the American people. Although he and his czars, (people he has placed in positions of authority without the express confirmation of the U.S. Senate as the Constitu-

tion requires,) think we are stupid and in need of their expertise, I beg to differ. So, I implore you, my fellow citizens, to go to the polls on Nov. 2 and vote for any candidate who professes an understanding of our republican form of government. Cast your vote for any candidate who expresses a desire to return our nation to its fiscal commitments, any candidate who exhibits a character of uprightness, any candidate who understands the value of humility, any candidate who realizes that the greatest nation on Earth deserves leaders that know the difference between service and servitude, any candidate who understands the truly basic difference between a slavish acquiescence to the current idea that all wisdom originates in Washington, or a government of citizen legislators, who work for the good of us all. SAMUEL E. HANCOCK lives in High Point.

morning,â&#x20AC;? but some will look the other way and not even speak! We have to teach students that active listening is a social LESSONS skill. It is imporLEARNED tant to look at the person talking Paula to you, smile or Williams nod, and respond â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; appropriately. Teach a child the art of polite questioning. It is a great way to learn about others, find common interests, and build friendships. Once they begin to ask questions as simple as â&#x20AC;&#x153;What games do you like to play?â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite book?â&#x20AC;? they will quickly see how polite questions can open the doors to new relationships. Parents can create a circle of friends for young children by encouraging playtime and playdates with a few select peers. Sometimes kids just need a jumpstart and the opportunity to have some fun together. Most importantly, it is crucial for us as adults to model being a good friend or a good neighbor for our children. Consider taking a child along the next time you do a kind deed for someone else. Let them see what thinking of others, being helpful, and being caring looks like. Learning by example is a wonderful thing! So the next time you are feeling a bit down and depressed, I have a suggestion: Call a friend and have a little idle chitchat and/or meaningful conversation. It will do you a world of good! PAULA GULLEDGE WILLIAMS lives in High Point and teaches at Pilot Elementary School in Greensboro. Her columns appear on this page every other Thursday.

new study in the journal Psychological Science says that people who spend a lot of their day talking to friends and loved ones are much happier than silent types. In fact, it says the happiest people engage in both idle chitchat and several deep conversations per day. That is no surprise to me. I treasure conversation with friends and family, and Gralyn will attest to the fact that I try to have several a day! Children, however, are not all born with the instinctive knowledge of how to make friends. For some, it seems to come naturally, but many children struggle to relate to their peers in meaningful ways that lead to having friends. I find each year that I have several students who are sorely lacking in the social skills necessary to make friends. So what can teachers and parents do to help children with the process of making friends? Here are a few ideas that may be helpful. First, young children have to be taught about personal space. I have a young student who seems to love other students, but she always hugs too tightly, sits too close, and touches when not appropriate. As part of the teaching of â&#x20AC;&#x153;if you want a friend, be a friend,â&#x20AC;? she and many other young students must learn to respect the person and personal space of others. Teach a child to smile in a friendly way to at least one new person every day. This works for all children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even the shy ones. And you know that a smile is most always a welcome sight and can often be the ideal icebreaker. Then teach a child to smile and to greet others. When I have hall duty at school, I try to greet children with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Drugmaker Abbott Laboratories said Wednesday it is recalling millions of containers of its best-selling Similac infant formula that may be contaminated with insect parts. The voluntary action affects up to 5 million Similac-brand powder formulas sold in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and some Caribbean countries. The company said the products may contain a small beetle or larvae, which could cause stomach ache and digestion problems. The recall does not affect any liquid formulas or other Abbott-brand products. A company spokeswoman said Abbott uncovered the insects last week in one section of a Michigan manufacturing plant.

The High Point Housing Authority honored Angela Grace McGill and Keith D. McInnis with its annual Pillars of Fame award.

Pillars of Fame Housing Authority honors two with award BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Two former residents of city public housing projects were honored Wednesday for rising from humble origins to lives of achievement and service. Angela Grace McGill and Keith D. McInnis Sr. were recognized with the High Point Housing Authority’s Pillars of Fame award. The two were selected from a pool of nominees composed of former public housing residents who overcame obstacles and became successful leaders and pillars of the community. During a ceremony at Astor Dowdy Towers, portraits of McGill and McInnis were unveiled on columns near those of past winners of the award, which the authority established in 2006 as

a way to present images of role models to serve as inspiration to community youth. “It is good to know there are individuals out there who look at not just their circumstances from whence they came but work throughout their lives so that they can do better for themselves and their children,” said City Councilwoman Bernita Sims, a past winner of the award. McGill lived in the Carson Stout, Daniel Brooks, Clara Cox and Springfield housing communities at various points in her life before going to work at the housing authority in 2003, where she rose to the position of chief operating officer. Now executive director of the Rockingham Housing Authority, McGill said the negative stereotypes of public housing residents held by the general public can rein-

force hopelessness or serve as motivation to rise above obstacles. “Growing up in public housing has been the catalyst for my drive in life. It doesn’t matter where you live, but where you’re going,” she said. “I have a lot of great memories. There was a true sense of community and a true sense of family.” McInnis, a teacher at Parkland High School in Winston-Salem who spent part of his childhood in Clara Cox and Daniel Brooks homes, said his father abandoned the family when he was a small child, and he credited his mother with being a major guiding force in his life. “She always made me believe I could conquer the world, that I could do anything I set my mind to,” he said. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Economic development is a key issue emerging in the campaign for seats on the Davidson County Board of Commissioners. Candidates honed in on the topic during a recent political forum at Piedmont Crossing Retirement Community in Thomasville. This November, eight candidates are vying for the four seats on the board. Republican incumbents Sam Watford and Billy Joe Kepley, as well as Republican candidate Todd Yates, participated in the forum. Democrat candidate Jason Hedrick also attended the forum, while fellow Democrat candidates Ronald Swicegood, Jeff Switzer and Kevin Williams were not in attendance. Republican incumbent Don Truell also did not participate in the forum. “I want to do everything I can to promote Davidson County, help Davidson County grow and help people in Davidson County who are unemployed right now,” Hedrick said. “I believe we can once again thrive like we did when Lexington Furniture was in its heyday and we had 10,000 jobs in downtown (Lexington).” Noting that jobs will not come right away, Hedrick said Davidson County should recruit large businesses but also look at existing and new small businesses. “We need to nurture that and try to help those people as well,” he said “I think that’s going to be our largest chance of growth with the small businesses around here.” Yates and Hedrick agreed that commissioners need to look at providing sewer to all of the major interchanges in Davidson County. “We do need infrastructure at interchanges,” Yates said. “... Davidson County needs about 10 miles of sewer to our major intersections to get some retail business there. We can do that. I think the citizens would want us to do that. We need to start now. It takes time to implement this infrastructure.” Kepley, a farmer, said agriculture will be a key component of the economy of Davidson County for years to come. He said farmers’ markets and seasonal crops add to the economy. “The small farmers have these avenues that they can make a little bit of pocket money,” Kepley said. “I myself have about 100 acres. I have about 20 or 30 acres of hay crops. I sell hay. That is a boost for me and my family.” Watford also provided his take on the economy. “The future will look a whole lot like our past,” he said. “Forty percent of our work force leaves the county every day for work ... I don’t see that changing.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Fort Bragg infant death probe may last into 2011 FORT BRAGG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The garrison commander at Fort Bragg says it may be early next year before an investigation into unexplained infants deaths at the base is complete.

Sicinski says it may be February before all the lab testing in the investigation is complete. The military and other government agencies are looking into the unexplained deaths of 10 infants in housing on the base since 2007. Foul play is not suspected in any of the deaths. Investigators have not yet found a potential environmental cause. Sicinski says the length of the investigation shows how thorough the Army is being.

In this June 2009 file photo taken from video, a Burmese python is shown in the snake pit at the Savannah River Ecology Lab in South Carolina where scientists are collecting pythons for study. Researchers say a new study shows that Burmese pythons that have made their home in Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Everglades are unlikely to survive as far north as South Carolina.

Study: Burmese pythons unlikely to survive in SC AIKEN, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Researchers say a new study shows that Burmese pythons that have made their home in Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Everglades are unlikely to survive as far north as South Carolina. The Aiken Standard

reported Wednesday that none of the 10 pythons tracked by researchers at the Savannah River Ecology Lab in South Carolina survived the winter here. All died last December from hypothermia.

But the study also notes that last winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temperatures were unusually cold. Researchers say the pythons may have survived a milder winter and could eventually migrate north from Florida.

Special-needs kids build bridges of understanding

ear Abby: As the mother of a child with special needs, my heart goes out to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boiling Mad in New Jerseyâ&#x20AC;? (July 23). My daughter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kate,â&#x20AC;? is also stared at in public. I, too, used to bristle at the unwanted attention, until I began to open up and talk with people. I found most of them to be compassionate and merely curious. Sometimes seeing Kate triggered their memory of a loved one who was affected by a similar challenge. As often as I can, I take the time to do mini â&#x20AC;&#x153;public service announcementsâ&#x20AC;? and chat with folks who linger, look or approach. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way to build a bridge between disabled individuals, who have much to teach, and the non- disabled, who have much to learn. The kids are my favorites. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll openly ask what everyone wants to know and say what others are afraid to risk saying. Kate is 16 now, beautiful inside and out. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pure, loves unconditionally and always forgives. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our teacher. Please tell â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boiling Madâ&#x20AC;? that time heals some of the rawness of a fresh diagnosis, and if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to find the best in others, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll usually be right. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Happier Now in Washington State Dear Happier: Thank you for your insightful letter. You are among many readers who shared similar views on transforming a â&#x20AC;&#x153;staring sessionâ&#x20AC;? into a positive opportunity. Read on: Dear Abby: I worked with special-needs children for a number

of years. I actually believe that it is good when people stare. It gives us a ADVICE chance to help the Dear child learn Abby social â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; skills. Would â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boiling Madâ&#x20AC;? prefer everyone pretend her son doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist? How horrible to isolate him like that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make him miserable. The people looking arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just human. Children like to be looked at; it makes them feel important. Her precious little boy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have only disabilities. He has abilities, too, and developing them should be the focus of every activity she does with him. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be amazed at and proud of his growth. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kathy in Knoxville Dear Abby: My child has moderate autism spectrum disorder. Although he looks like everyone else, his extreme behavior brings stares and comments (mostly about my parenting). I now regard it as an opportunity to educate them about autism. I hand them a card explaining it that contains a link to the Autism Society of America. This tactic, rather than ignoring people, is the way to go. If more people educated others, the stares and rude comments would become smiles and support. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jon in Beavercreek, Ohio Dear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

one of those folks who â&#x20AC;&#x153;stareâ&#x20AC;? at others. By no means is there ever a bad intent. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a peoplewatcher. I love watching people communicate in different ways, like signing. Whether someone is in a wheelchair or has a visible disability, I value each and every person. Maybe â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boiling Madâ&#x20AC;? doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand that many of us are willing to reach out, lend a hand or just be friendly. I wish to embrace, not ignore, and I hope my behavior isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perceived to be offensive. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Well-meaning And Open Dear Abby: As parents of a daughter with Down syndrome, we often saw people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take their eyes off our Sara. When she asked us why they were staring and we told her it was because she was so beautiful, she decided to do them a favor and introduce herself. In crowded amusement park lines and outdoor events sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d walk over and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hi. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Sara. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your name?â&#x20AC;? We have had many great conversations with total strangers and met new friends this way over the past 23 years. Today, Sara and her mom speak at conferences all over the world promoting the hiring of people with disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Proud Dad in Virginia DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Answer: The hulls from black walnuts can be challenging to deal with. They contain a chemical plant inhibitor (juglone) that can restrict the growth of some plants, such as tomatoes and cabbage. Compost the hulls for about three months before using them as a mulch. Partial decomposition of the hulls will oxidize the juglone, making them safe to use on plants. As for the carbon-rich woody wastes, they should not compete with plants for nitrogen if they are placed on the soil surface around plants. However, these materials should not be mixed into soil without extra nitrogen fertilizer Use wood chips and sawdust to mulch trees and shrubs where the soil is not tilled and the mulch stays on the surface. Sawdust is safest to use as a mulch if it is not fresh and has had six months to a year to age. In fact, it is probably safer all the way around if you allow wood

chips and sawdust to age before use. Find a spot where they can remain for six months or longer. This way you know there will be no chance of them being too hot to burn your shrubs. After breaking down some, they definitely won’t compete for nitrogen.

Broken hearts are real D

ear Dr. Donohue: Last December, my husband called the paramedics when I did not respond to him. They rushed me to the hospital when I began convulsing. I have no recollection of any of this. When I woke one week later, I was in the ICU. I was told that I had broken heart syndrome. I also was told it has to do with blood pressure. Can you confirm that there is such a thing? – A.

BLONDIE

Broken heart syndrome is for real. It’s a recent addition to the catalog of illnesses. Japanese doctors first described it, and called it Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy is a heart illness that affects the heart muscle, not the heart arteries or heart valves. The classical case is one where a person develops severe chest discomfort preceded by physical or emotional stress. The emotional stress could be the unexpected death of a loved one. An EKG shows a pattern that replicates the pattern of a heart attack. The heart’s function is greatly compromised. It doesn’t pump blood like it should, and that can lower blood pressure. Seizures are not included in the list of symptoms. However, a drop in blood pressure also drops the flow of blood to the brain. That can trigger seizures. The explanation for this is a surge in the body’s stress chemicals that affect heart func-

tion. Damage to the heart muscle isn’t permanent. The heart returns HEALTH to good health in a Dr. Paul matter of Donohue weeks. ■■■ You didn’t mention any prior stress. Do you recollect any? On the plus side, your heart arteries are in good shape, and you ought not to suffer a recurrence. Dear Dr. Donohue: Recently a friend passed away from CreutzfeldtJakob disease. The total course of the disease took about 10 weeks, although some recall subtle changes earlier. This has been described as human mad cow disease, or very rapid Alzheimer’s. What can you tell us about it? – T.H. It’s an infection due to a new kind of germ, one that is totally protein. No other living thing, if this truly is living, is composed only of protein. The germ is called a prion. When it finds its way into the brain, it causes a rapidly progressive and profound dementia. The prion might have been there for decades, however, before signs appear. It is a truly rare disease that occurs in all parts of the world. Most of the time, it is fatal in a short time, about one year. No medicine stops its progress or improves

its symptoms. Transmission of CJ disease to family members living under the same roof as the patient has not been described. Dear Dr. Donohue: My granddaughter, 15 years old, has been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. How will this affect her future? She is now receiving physical therapy for her shoulder. – J.T. Exceedingly stretchable skin, joints that can bend far past the normal range of motion and fragile blood vessels are the major features of Ehlers- (AY-lerz) Danlos (dawn-LOS) syndrome. Actually, “syndrome” should be in the plural. There are six variations of it. All of them have a genetic basis. The problem lies in collagen. It’s not the normal kind of collagen. Collagen is the body’s cement and building material. Since your granddaughter was diagnosed at a relatively older age, I take that to mean she has one of the less-serious forms of the illness. If my assumption is correct, her future should not be compromised. Was her shoulder dislocated? That commonly happens to joints of these patients. You can reach the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation on the Internet at www.ednf.org. The foundation provides people with in-depth information and advises them of any new developments in treatment. Contact it. You’ll be happy you did.

Singer Steven Tyler (from left), singer Jennifer Lopez, musician Randy Jackson, and television personality Ryan Seacrest stand on stage at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? Season Ten judge announcement in Inglewood, Calif., on Wednesday.

Fox crowns new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;American Idolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; judges INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler will join Randy Jackson as â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? judges next season, after months of turnover and speculation about the future of TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-rated show.

With pomp rivaling that of a U.S. Supreme Court appointment, Fox finally assembled the new pieces of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Idolâ&#x20AC;? panel that will be returned to its original three-member format for season 10.

Actress-singer-dancer Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Tyler will have the job of trying to match the offbeat chemistry of former judges Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul.

ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The prominent pastor of a 25,000-member megachurch near Atlanta denies allegations in a lawsuit that he coerced three young men from the congregation into a sexual relationship, his attorney said. Lawyers for two of the men, now 20 and 21, filed the lawsuit Tuesday in DeKalb County Court against Bishop Eddie Long. The third lawsuit was filed Wednesday. The Associated Press generally does not identify people who say they were victims of sexual impropriety.

Presid e n t George W. Bush and three former presidents visited the Long sprawling New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in the Atlanta suburb of Lithonia for the 2006 funeral of Coretta Scott King. The men who sued were 17 and 18 years old when they say Long abused his spiritual authority to seduce them with cars, money, clothes, jewelry, international trips and access to celebrities.

Leah Daniels-Butler, a casting associate who helped discover â&#x20AC;&#x153;Preciousâ&#x20AC;? star Gabourey Sidibe, was charged Tuesday in Brooklyn with obstructing a federal investigation. She was ordered to wear an ankle monitoring bracelet and released on $50,000 bail.

‘Hawaii Five-0’ upgrades to modern times MARK NIESSE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

ONOLULU – The elite crime-fighting team of “Hawaii Five-0” is back in the islands – this time with more bikinis, fewer stiff suits and a remix of the series’ classic theme song. The remake of the legendary series, which ran for 12 seasons from 1968 to 1980, debuted Monday at 10 p.m. on CBS with a legacy to live up to. Like the original hit show, the new version’s cop team hunts down criminals, often ending with the catch phrase “Book ’em, Danno!” But the rebooted version aims to add more witty banter, character back story and edginess to the formulaic detective

CBS | AP

Scott Caan (left) is Detective Danny “Danno” Williams, and Alex O’Loughlin is Detective Steve McGarrett in the new “Hawaii Five-0.” work of the first series, which preceded a generation of crime dramas such as “Magnum, P.I.” and “Law & Order.” “You can do great action, and we do,” said executive producer Peter Lenkov. “But what’s fresh and different is the character development and humor.”

Filmed onsite in Hawaii, “Hawaii Five-0” aims to appeal to viewers by taking them to island scenes shot at sun-soaked beaches and landmark locations including Pearl Harbor, Iolani Palace and Waikiki. Alex O’Loughlin is replacing the original Detective Steve McGar-

rett, played by Jack Lord. As a former Navy SEAL, the new McGarrett has been recruited by Hawaii’s governor to lead a task force against criminals and terrorists intruding into the United States through its Pacific islands. “He’s part mercenary, and his tactics are pretty crazy. He does whatever he needs to do to get the job done,” O’Loughlin said during a break from filming on site in Honolulu. “We have respect for what came before us, but we’re not drawing from the old show.” Unlike his predecessor, O’Loughlin is more likely to go into a suspect’s house wearing a bulletproof vest, guns blazing. The Australian actor has Lord’s big shoes to fill

after previously playing the lead in “Three Rivers” and “Moonlight.” Alongside McGarrett is sidekick Danny “Danno” Williams (Scott Caan), a by-the-book detective who’s less than pleased with McGarrett’s fullspeed-ahead attitude. “I don’t think that he’s a bad guy or anything,” said Caan, who has appeared on “Entourage.” “I just think he’s crazy,” he said. “That sets up the butting of heads and the personality clash.” Rounding out the four-member team are characters Chin Ho Kelly and Kono Kalakaua. Both were part of the original series, but this time they should get more prominent roles because the show won’t rely as much on McGarrett alone.

NEW YORK (AP) – Not content to simply offer viewers news and a little entertainment, “Good Morning America” now wants to dispense some advice. ABC’s morning show said Monday it is starting a nationwide search for a “21st-century advice guru” who can offer perspective on vexing family or professional problems. The new advice expert, who would dispense answers on the air and through the show’s website, is akin to a “Dear Abby” for TV, said Jim Murphy, executive producer of “GMA.” The show is accepting applications and will turn its search into part of the show, he said. Senior staff will sift through the applications and come up with some finalists for tryouts. Viewers will be invited to let ABC know of their favorites as the process continues, he said. He’s not sure who will be interested in the full-time job, whether there are people with television experience or ambitious newcomers or some combination of both. “It would be just awesome if some fabulous high-school guidance counselor gets a break like this,” Murphy said. He said the job would fill a niche at network morning shows and also help “Good Morning America” establish its online presence, where the advice guru would write a regular column taking questions from viewers.

LOW SPADE South succeeds with an end play. After he draws trumps, he takes the ace of clubs, ruffs a club and leads a low spade. If East wins and leads another spade, West is end-played when he takes the ace. Say East wins the first spade with the nine and leads the jack of diamonds. South plays low from his hand, takes dummy’s ace and exits with a spade. Then West must cash the king of diamonds, setting up South’s queen, or concede a ruffsluff.

CROSSWORD

Thursday, Sept. 23, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jason Alexander, 51; Bruce Springsteen, 61; Mary Kay Place, 63; Mickey Rooney, 90 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Go with the flow if you want to make progress this year. There will be lots of opportunity if you are not trying to do the impossible. Simplify your thinking and practice moderation. Emotions will be close to the surface, making this an ideal year to face problems, resolve old issues and move in a new direction. Your numbers are 9, 16, 25, 28, 32, 39, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Restrictions, frustrations and delays will lead to emotional reactions and unwanted changes. Don’t fight the inevitable. It’s what you are trying to hold on to that is holding you back. Instead, look forward with optimism. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Put your effort into your relationships with people who have something to offer you, instead of those who are always taking. Put pressure on anyone who owes you financially or otherwise. Stand up for your rights. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may think you have the help of someone but, before passing along a job that requires detail and a deadline, consider taking care of it on your own. You will not be able to count on others. Steady work will result in progress. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you don’t take advantage of the opportunities being made available, someone will take advantage of you. Procrastination will be your downfall. Love and romance are in the stars, so plan something special. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Push for what you want. There are opportunities available, but not if you sit at home. A personal problem will develop with someone who expects too much from you. Equality will be a must for a partnership. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is a change in your financial situation that will lead to an opportunity to make a move or change the way you live. Love is in the picture and you will make the relationship you are currently in better or, if single, find someone able to reciprocate emotionally. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You cannot let anyone walk all over you, even if you want to maintain the peace. Change may be necessary when it comes to friends, peers or even relatives if you want to overcome an emotional situation that is getting you down. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A passionate approach to love, work and your surroundings will bring you high rewards. Putting your heart and soul into what you believe in and making whatever changes are necessary to hone your skills will be the route to take. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be torn between what you should do and what you want to do. Diplomacy coupled with a little budgeting and know-how will allow you to charm your way into any situation you feel will aid you in getting your own way. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Expect to be burdened with responsibilities due to someone else’s mistake or inability to fulfill a promise. Ultimately, it will help enhance your reputation and seal a deal you’ve been working on. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Hard work on your part will make the difference as to how your future will unfold. Formulate a plan that allows you to promote a skill you enjoy. Physical restrictions may get you down if you overdo it. Put time aside for love. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): An emotional matter must be dealt with if you want to move forward. It may be time to let go of the past. A love relationship can help you out financially and allow you to improve your standard of living. ★★★

BRIDGE

I continue a series on saving tricks with end plays. You’re declarer at four hearts, and West leads a club. You figure he has the ace of spades and king of diamonds for his bid, so you’re at risk of losing two spades and two diamonds. What will you do about it? The actual South saw nothing better than to play West for K-x in diamonds. He took the king of clubs, drew trumps, and led the ace and a low diamond, ducking East’s ten. But West followed low, East shifted to a spade, and the defense got two spades and a second diamond.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 6 H A K Q 10 9 5 D Q 3 2 C K 2. You open one heart, the next player bids one spade, your partner raises to two hearts and the player at your right passes. What do you say? ANSWER: To bid game or try for game at hearts would be questionable. (When today’s South landed at four hearts, he went down despite a super-strong dummy.) If you judge to try for game, bid 2NT. Your king of spades may be a winner at notrump when the opening lead is a spade. 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.

ABC’s ‘Detroit 1-8-7’ finds character in city JEFF KAROUB ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

ETROIT – When “NYPD Blue” veteran James McDaniel signed on for a new ABC cop show called “Detroit 18-7,” he served as cheerleader-inchief in the creators’ campaign to shoot in the Motor City. The actor figured they didn’t stand a chance because it had never been done. But he craved the authenticity of being in the downtrodden city – far from traditional acting hubs and his beloved New York – even if it meant suffering for his art. McDaniel was floored on both fronts: The network brass approved filming the show in Detroit, and he found the city to be both inviting and inspiring. “We get here, and imagine my surprise: My wife and I actually love it. We really get it,” he said while waiting to shoot a scene on a weed-pocked parking lot near downtown. The first network television drama to set up shop full time in Detroit is discovering a city that goes beyond its Rust Belt reputation. And its writers, producers and actors hope the struggling town is a secret weapon for “Detroit 1-8-7” as it prepares to enter

the crowded market of crime procedurals. The title of the show, which debuted at 10 p.m. Tuesday, uses a former California police code for homicide and features fictional members of a Detroit Police homicide unit. The real city has been unable to shake its reputation as a haven for violence, but those involved say they can show the grit without glorifying it. “People’s fear was it was just going to be street crime and gang violence and things like that. It’s really not,” said star Michael Imperioli, relaxing after a full day of rehearsals and shooting in Detroit’s Cass Corridor. “A lot of it is not about the dead – it’s about the living – the people who are connected and affected by these crimes.” McDaniel and Imperioli, whose credits include HBO’s “The Sopranos” and playing another prime-time detective on ABC’s short-lived “Life on Mars,” are the best known actors on “1-8-7.” The diverse cast also includes Erin Cummings (“Mad Men”), Aisha Hinds (“True Blood”) and Shaun Majumder (“Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle”). On a recent day of heavy shooting for the show’s fourth episode, Imperioli joined several other

actors for early morning scenes. His Detective Louis Fitch and colleagues have been called to a playground behind a school where a girl’s body has been found. After some run-throughs, the actor consults the script one last time and stashes it on a cart that includes “realistic drying blood” in “Aaron’s On-Set Blood Bag.” The real neighborhood near downtown, once synonymous with crime and vice in Detroit, is now in transition – improving or declining, depending on the block. “Look at this building here – it almost looks like a castle, and it’s crumbling, covered with ivy,” Imperioli said, pointing to a vacant apartment building that’s serving as a preservation project in the episode. “At the same time, you see this alternative movie theater and there’s a kind of really cool vintage store. “The neighborhood was a glorious place that went to seed for a while, and you can see all of it in this tiny little corner of the city.” “Detroit 1-8-7” creator Jason Richman was developing the drama at the same time he visited friends in Detroit. He saw the city’s architecture and decided it was the right setting for his show.

Ginsberg’s life is pieced together in ‘Howl’ JAKE COYLE AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER

n interesting combination of courtroom drama, historical recreation and animated poetry, “Howl” is reverent enough about Allen Ginsberg that it doesn’t even try to bring him to life on celluloid. The film, directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, is mostly content with docudrama imitation. “Howl” is split three ways, skipping between each segment: Ginsberg’s first public reading at the smoky Six Gallery in 1955 San Francisco, presented in black-andwhite; an interview with the poet in 1957, recreated from numerous interviews; and the famous trial of the same year in which Ginsberg’s poetry was alleged to be obscene. The film introduces its origins plainly as “composed from court readings, interviews and ‘Howl.’ ” In the reading and interview scenes, James Franco gamely attempts the daunting role of the iconic poet. “Howl” doesn’t allow for a full performance, leaving Franco to mostly only

FILM REVIEW

----

grasp at imitation. He does well enough (particularly in the interview scenes) with Ginsberg’s halting intonation and glint of mischief. The courtroom scenes are the film’s best mainly because they supply some drama and are populated almost exclusively by fine actors. The trial was a notable case in 1st amendment rights, and considerably helped Ginsberg’s fame. Jon Hamm plays the defense attorney, Jake Ehrlich, whose commanding orations and witness cross examinations are distinctly Don Draper-esque – which is to say, fairly riveting. This is an actor whose very presence – removed, impatient, fiercely intelligent – is charged. Claiming “Howl” is indecent is prosecuting attorney Ralph McIntosh, played by David Strathairn. He plays McIntosh as closeminded but genuinely searching for answers to a work of art he can’t understand. He asks what “angel-headed hipsters” are with real curiosity.

EW YORK – It’s the last go-round for “As the World Turns.” TV’s oldest daytime drama aired its final episode Friday, concluding a run that began in April 1956. Always full of emotional turmoil, “World” was set in the mythical town of Oakdale, Ill., where there was no shortage of couplings, heartbreak, double-dealing and hairpin plot twists. CBS announced in December that it was pulling the plug on the New York-based show, which ranked at the bottom of the ratings among network soaps. It wrapped production in June. The drama made its de-

but in 1956 for Procter & Gamble Co., the Cincinnati-based maker of soap and many other household products. Big events last week included Jack (Michael Park) remarrying oftwed Carly (Maura West). Janet (Julie Pinson) gave birth to her ex-husband Jack’s son. Then a DNA test revealed the father of the child was really Janet’s betrothed, Dusty (Grayson McCouch). And – more joyous news – Carly learned she was pregnant with Jack’s child. “I think things turned out exactly the way they were supposed to,” Janet said. Friday’s finale found Dr. Bob Hughes (played for a half-century by Don Hastings) in a reflective mood as he prepared to

Bowyer’s car found illegal lost 150 points, leaving Bowyer with just a net of 45 that knocked him from second Bowyer place in the standings down to last among the 12 Chase drivers, 185 points behind leader Denny Hamlin. The deficit is more than can be gained in one race. Bowyer’s crew chief Shane Wilson was fined $150,000. He and car chief Chad Haney were suspended from the next six NASCAR Sprint Cup events,

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

NASCAR sent Clint Bowyer and his Richard Childress Racing team crashing back to Earth and out of Chase for the Championship contention on Wednesday. The sanctioning body announced that the location of the body on the No. 33 Chevrolet that Bowyer drove to victory Sunday at New Hampshire Speedway failed inspection, resulting some of the heaviest penalties ever administered. Bowyer and car owner Richard Childress each

suspended from NASCAR until Nov. 3 and placed on probation until Dec. 31. The car passed initial inspection at the track after the race. Its rear was found to be outside of the rules during a more thorough look at the NASCAR research and development center in Concord. The penalties come on the heels of NASCAR warning RCR to check Bowyer’s cars after the one he drove to sixth place at Richmond came close to failing inspection because of its body location. Childress issued a statement saying that he will

appeal. NASCAR officials declined to say how much the body was out of tolerance. In his statement, Childress said the violation was 60 thousandths of an inch at the rear of the car. “We feel certain that the cause of the car being out of tolerance. . . happened as a result of the wrecker hitting the rear bumper when it pushed the car into winner’s circle,” Childress said in the statement. “The rear bumper was also hit on the cool down lap by other drivers congratulating Clint on his victory. That’s the only logical way

that the left-rear of the car was found to be high at the tech center.” NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberson said during a teleconference Wednesday that he did not think the violation was the result of contact from a wrecker. The severe penalties are in keeping with those previously handed down for violating the strict standards for body location on the Car of Tomorrow. In keeping with policy, NASCAR did not strip Bowyer of the victory, his first in 88 races and third of his career.

NCAA suspends two Tar Heels RALEIGH (AP) — The NCAA suspended North Carolina defensive back Kendric Burney six games and safety Deunta Williams four games on Wednesday for receiving improper benefits. Both players must also repay benefits to become eligible, though the school plans to appeal the length of the suspensions. In a news release, the NCAA said Burney received $1,333 in benefits while Williams received $1,426 in benefits. The school said Burney must repay $575.19 and Williams must repay $450.67 to charities of their choice. Both players have sat out the first two games for the winless Tar Heels (0-2), which count toward their suspensions. North Carolina is still awaiting word

on the status of 10 other players as they prepare to travel to Rutgers, including NFL prospects Marvin Austin and Robert Quinn on defense, top receiver Greg Little and tailback Ryan Houston. The NCAA visited Chapel Hill in July focused on whether Austin and Little received improper benefits from agents, but that probe expanded to include possible academic misconduct involving a tutor last month. Athletic director Dick Baddour called the length of the suspensions “unduly harsh” and hopes to have an appeal heard by next week. “The timeliness is important and I’m sure the NCAA will work with us to help us get a response as soon as possible,” Baddour said.

HIT AND RUN

---

hank goodness for the Major League Baseball wild card. Longtime readers of The High Point Enterprise may recall that I was a harsh critic of the wild card when MLB decided to add it for the 1994 playoffs. The strike cancelled the ‘94 postseason so that left ‘95 as the first wildcard season. I freely admit I was wrong. Take this season. With no wild card, either the New York Yankees or Tampa Bay Rays would miss the postseason altogether. With all due respect to the surging Minne-

sota Twins in the AL Central and the dangerous Texas Rangers in the AL West, the Yanks and Rays are the class of the Junior Circuit. These teams appear on a collision course for an ALCS showdown in a few weeks. But that course could never be charted without the wild card. This is far from the first time that the two best teams in the AL or NL resided in the same division. It seems only right that the best get to show their stuff in the postseason. Besides, the YanksRays rivalry this season has been incredible.

Today’s 7 p.m. showdown at Yankee Stadium completes the 18-game regular-season series. Entering this four-game set at Yankee Stadium, eight of the first 14 games were decided by three runs or less. Five games were settled by one run, including four walkoffs. These teams are evenly matched, well managed and playoff tested. I hope they meet again. Thanks to the wildcard format, we have that chance.

WHO’S NEWS

Like most golfers, Ernie Els always wonders if he could have achieved more in his career. He was reminded Wednesday he has done plenty with the announcement that he has been elected into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Els was the only player to receive enough votes from the PGA Tour, the first year his name was on the ballot. The most global player of his era, the Big Easy has won 62 times around the world, including two U.S. Opens and a British Open. “It makes you feel very good about what you’ve done,” Els said. Els will be among five players who are inducted May 9 in St. Augustine, Fla., the Monday of The Players Championship next year. Doug Ford and Jock Hutchison were elected through the Veteran’s Category, while former president George H.W. Bush was selected through the Lifetime Achievement category. It will be the second straight induction ceremony featuring a former U.S. president, with Dwight D. Eisenhower inducted in 2009. World Golf Hall of Fame chief executive Jack Peter said one player was elected fron the International ballot.

Clausen welcomes advice ahead of first start CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jimmy Clausen and his phone havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten much rest this week. As the Carolina rookie crams for his first NFL start Sunday against Cincinnati, a steady stream of well-wishers and advice-givers has checked in. The list includes Charlie Weis, his old college coach, and Mark Sanchez, an old buddy who knows a thing or two about starting as a rookie. Clausen hopes his connections and a heavy dose of preparation will help him jump-start the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ugly offense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel different. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just getting more reps and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing,â&#x20AC;? Clausen said Wednesday after his first practice since replacing the ineffective Matt Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to get in there and

get familiar with all the new stuff weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting in.â&#x20AC;? The baby-faced, former Notre Dame star has had quite a week already. On Monday, a day after Clausen a dismal 20-7 loss to Tampa Bay dropped Carolina to 02, coach John Fox made the switch to Clausen. Just a few hours later, Clausen got a call from Weis, now the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was real fired up,â&#x20AC;? a beaming Clausen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He called me and the first thing he said was, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;My day got brighter. Congratulations.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; My family and his family have a close relationship.â&#x20AC;? Clausen celebrated his 23rd birthday on Tuesday, which included a phone

call from Sanchez of the New York Jets. He and Clausen became friends growing up in California, and Sanchez last year became only the second rookie quarterback to win two playoff games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was talking about some of the things he wishes he could have heard from somebody in his first start and going into his career,â&#x20AC;? Clausen said. Such as? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were just talking about watching tape and trying to get in with different guys,â&#x20AC;? Clausen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get in with the center and watch the blitzes. Get in with the receivers and watch different coverages and see what they see.â&#x20AC;? Clausen bolted from his locker to watch film after meeting with the media on Wednesday. He appeared more vocal and animated earlier as he worked with

the starters in practice, something that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost on running back Jonathan Stewart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more focused on making reads and being more decisive, quick to the huddle and stuff like that, as any starter would be, I guess,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you can definitely tell heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited.â&#x20AC;? Clausen also faces a tall task as he tries to prove the rest of the league wrong for letting him slip into the second round of the draft. He takes over an offense that has two touchdowns and eight turnovers. The running game hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been dominate like last year. The offense line hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t protected well, and Carolina faces a Bengals team that allowed only one touchdown in a victory on Sunday against Baltimore.

Phillies complete sweep of Braves THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roy Oswalt and a pair of relievers combined on a one-hitter and the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies beat Atlanta 1-0 Wednesday night for their 10th straight win, increasing their bulge over the Braves to six games. Raul Ibanez hit an RBI double with two outs in the eighth inning for the only run, helping the twotime NL champions reduce their magic number for clinching their fourth

straight division title to four. It was the Philliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first home sweep over the Braves since 2001. Oswalt allowed just one hit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a clean double by Martin Prado in the fourth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and one walk in seven scoreless innings. Atlanta began the day with a one-game lead over San Diego in the wild-card race. While the Braves used two rookies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Minor and Brandon Beachy, who made his major league debut on Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to start the first two games of a crucial series,

the Phillies adjusted their rotation so their three aces would pitch. Cole Hamels and Roy Halladay delivered in the first two games. Then Oswalt did his job.

TWINS 5, INDIANS 1 MINNEAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A division title secured, the Minnesota Twins are not letting up. The Twins rested most of their regulars and beat the Cleveland Indians 51 Wednesday behind the pitching of Nick Blackburn to complete a threegame sweep.

BCBS customers to get refunds MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

TRIAD — About 215,000 North Carolinians with individual health-insurance policies through Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina will receive an early benefit from federal health-care reform. The N.C. Insurance Department said this week the insurer will make a one-time refund of $155.8 million as a byproduct of the grandfathering of rules connected with the Affordable Care Act, which goes into effect in 2014. Refunds will be issued in December to policy-

Czechs halt Google’s ‘Street View’ PRAGUE (AP) — The Czech Republic has refused to grant Google permission to expand its “Street View” because the mapping feature invades peoples’ privacy, the government’s privacy watchdog said Wednesday. The Czech Office for Personal Data Protection has been investigating the issue since April, and last week it did not give Google Inc. the necessary registration for “Street View” in the eastern European country but did not explain why.

Canada: Facebook has allayed concerns NEW YORK (AP) — Canada’s privacy commissioner says Facebook has addressed concerns it raised a year ago over third-party access to users’ information. Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart said the world’s largest online social network has put changes in place over the past year that are “reasonable and meet the expectations set out under Canadian privacy law.”

AMR shares fall on dim outlook DALLAS (AP) — Shares of American Airlines parent AMR Corp. tumbled by 8 percent Wednesday after the company’s outlook for stronger revenue failed to impress some analysts. The company said late Tuesday that third-quarter unit revenue, or total revenue divided by available seats times miles flown, would grow between 9.8 percent and 10.8 percent compared with a year ago.

holders who had either Blue Advantage or the Blue Options health-savings account policies in force on March 23 — the date that the act became law. The refund is expected to represent about oneand-a-half months’ worth of premium costs, so the higher someone’s premiums were, the larger their refund will be. The average refund is expected to be about $690. The department also said it has approved a smaller-than-usual rate increase for the Blue Advantage and Blue Options products for 2011. The refunds will be paid at a time when more

people are depending on individual health-insurance policies, either because their job has been eliminated during the recession or their employer chose to drop coverage to reduce expenses. Michael York, the president of Blue Moon Benefits Group in Clemmons, said the Triad should receive a significant number of the refunds because the Blue Cross individual policies “are very popular in the Piedmont area.” Blue Moon has carved a niche in recent years providing individual policies, such as Blue Cross, to people who have had their coverage end.

Dell hires real-estate broker MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM — Dell Inc. has chosen a Chicago real-estate broker to handle the marketing of its $110 million manufacturing plant in Winston-Salem. Jones Lang LaSalle gained the contract this week, the company said this week. The 750,000-square-foot building, which opened in 2005, will be marketed as Triad Technology Center, said Chris Skibinski, the company’s managing director of logistics and industrial properties for its Charlotte office. Simpson Schulman & Beard, a real-estate company in Greensboro, will assist in the marketing. “We’re just ramping up our efforts and determining Dell’s plans,” Skibinski said. “Dell prefers to sell the plant to a single buyer, but has expressed a willingness to be flexible for

leasing it on a long-term basis.” Skibinski said that Dell has not disclosed a sale price publicly. Dell announced in October 2009 its plans to close the desktop-assembly plant. The plant operated on borrowed time for more than a year as Dell postponed the shutdown four times because of a surge in demand from businesses wanting new desktops and other technologies. However, on Sept. 10, Dell said it planned to close the plant for good in November, with most of the remaining 575 full-time and contract employees being let go by the end of October. David Frink, a Dell spokesman, said no decision has been made about how quickly it would leave the plant. A task force was formed soon after Dell made its initial plant decision to find a new user or users for the plant.

CarMax profit rises on used-car sales RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Used car dealership chain CarMax Inc. said Wednesday its profit rose nearly 5 percent in its fiscal second quarter as a shaky economy continued to push consumers toward previously owned cars and trucks. CarMax, which operates more than 100 stores, said its overall revenue climbed 13 percent while revenue at stores open at least a year

rose 4 percent even though last year’s sales were boosted by the government’s Cash for Clunkers rebate program. While used cars didn’t qualify under the federal program that gave rebates for junking older cars and buying more fuel-efficient vehicles, the Richmond, Va.-based company has said the program resulted in a spike in traffic.

Investors turn away from stocks NEW YORK (AP) — Traders put their September stock rally on hold and moved into Treasurys and gold Wednesday, a day after the Federal Reserve said it was ready to take more action to boost the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 21 points. With no new economic data out Wednesday and the Fed’s announcement late Tuesday having a bigger impact on the bond and currency markets, Bob Auer, portfolio manager of the Auer Growth Fund, said it was natural for stocks to pause. Major indexes have soared this month as economic reports have consistently indicated the economy continues to grow, albeit slowly. The Fed didn’t announce specific actions to strengthen the economy, but investors interpreted its statement as a signal that the central bank could step up its bondpurchasing program down the line. Investors had little incentive to move more money into stocks, so they turned their focus to bonds and gold. Treasurys rose again, pushing their yields lower, and gold climbed to another record. The Dow fell 21.72, or 0.2 percent, to 10,739.31. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 5.50, or 0.5 percent, to 1,134.28.

Rain, hail, lightning interrupt Utah firefight

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Rain, hail and lightning have suspended the fight against a Utah wildfire ignited by Army National Guard members during weekend machine-gun training. Fire spokesman Marshall Thompson said Wednesday’s storm isn’t expected to extinguish the 6-square-mile blaze that burned three homes and damaged a fourth in Herriman. But it will help control it. Officials have said the

fire is 50 percent contained. Thompson said 520 firefighters and guardsmen are hunkering down because of the danger of lightning. Officials are reassessing evacuation orders for 250 residents still kept out of homes closest to Camp Williams, a training base about 30 miles south of Salt Lake City. More than 1,600 houses were ordered evacuated after the fire broke out Sunday.

That’s up from $420.6 million, or 62 cents per share, earned in the same quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, the company earned 64 cents

per share, a penny better than what analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected. The company’s revenue edged up 1 percent to $3.53 billion, falling short of analyst expectations of $3.57 billion.

General Mills said revenue in its U.S. retail business grew 6 percent. International revenue was up slightly less than 1 percent, but excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange, rose 4 percent.

SEC toughens enforcement efforts WASHINGTON (AP) – The Securities and Exchange Commission’s chief enforcement official says the agency has toughened its efforts to shut down financial misconduct after failing to act quickly in the cases of R. Allen Stanford and Bernard Madoff. SEC Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami says in testimony prepared for a Senate hearing that “we have moved aggressively” to put in place reforms recommended by the SEC in-

BUSINESS

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – General Mills Inc.’s firstquarter net income rose 12 percent on stronger sales of key products such as Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Yoplait yogurts. “Economic conditions remain relatively weak and consumer confidence is still pretty low, so it is a challenging time,” Ken Powell, the company’s CEO, said Wednesday. “But as we’ve said before, it’s still a great time to be in the food business.” The company said it sold more of its products all its operating segments and saw a shift by consumers to some of its higher-margin products such as cereal. But the company’s performance was hampered slightly by higher costs for ingredients and advertising. General Mills reported

spector general. The IG found that the SEC knew since 1997 that Stanford likely was operating a Ponzi scheme but waited 12 years to bring fraud charges against the billionaire. Khuzami also tells the Senate Banking Committee the SEC is working to provide “maximum recovery” to investors hurt in Stanford’s alleged $7 billion fraud. Stanford has been in federal prison since his indictment in June 2009 on criminal charges that

his international banking business was really a pyramid scheme. He is disputing the charges. He faces a life sentence if convicted. The SEC didn’t bring civil fraud charges against Stanford until February 2009. SEC Inspector General David Kotz said in a report issued in April that “institutional influence” in the enforcement division was a factor in the agency’s repeated decisions not to conduct a full investigation.

The report found that SEC enforcement officials discouraged cases that couldn’t be resolved quickly. And it said an SEC enforcement official who helped quash investigations later legally represented Stanford. The SEC’s office in Fort Worth, Texas, had conducted “examination after examination” of Stanford’s business over eight years, but “merely watched the alleged fraud grow, and failed to take any action to stop it,” Kotz testified at Wednesday’s hearing.

Tropical Depression moves across Gulf of California MIAMI (AP) – Tropical Depression Georgette is moving across the Gulf of California in Mexico with little change in strength expected before making landfall. A tropical storm watch was in effect Wednesday for the coast of mainland Mexico from Huatabampito northward to Bahia Kino. Georgette is located

about 35 miles (55 kilometers) east of Loreto, Mexico, and is moving north near 12 mph (19 kph). Meanwhile, far out in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Lisa is moving slowly with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph (75 kph). Slow strengthening is expected over the next two days.

Ex-cop gets three years in Katrina bridge shootings NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A former New Orleans police detective who admitted he helped cover up deadly shootings of unarmed residents on a bridge after Hurricane Katrina has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Jeffrey Lehrmann, one of five former officers who have pleaded guilty in the Justice Department’s probe of the Danziger Bridge shootings, was sentenced Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Lance Africk.
