VOTE Cast ballot in runoff elections starting Thursday BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The first week of June ... thoughts turn to summer vacations, memories of the just-past Memorial Day weekend ... and voting? That’s right – voting will begin Thursday for three area runoff elections from last month’s party primaries. Polls for early voting, known formally as one-stop absentee voting, will remain open through June 19 leading up to runoff Election Day itself June 22. Days and times for early voting vary with the county. In Davidson, Guilford and Randolph counties, early voting only will take place at the board of elections offices in each county. The three area runoffs are taking place because the top vote-getter in each race didn’t receive in excess of 40 percent of the total vote in the May 4 primary. The only local primary will take

HIGH POINT – City officials have credited an online auction service with bringing about some good financial news during a bleak budget season. Sales of surplus city property and equipment through the GovDeals. com Web site have netted more than $1 million for city coffers since September 2008. That’s a windfall compared to the $175,000 to $200,000 the city used to earn in a typical year auctioning off old police cars, garbage trucks and other items taken out of service, officials said. “We believe the competitive Internet bidding process gets us more for our surplus property than the limited market base we had with traditional onsite auctions,” said Gary Smith, High Point’s fleet services director. “Selling our surplus online allows us to attract buyers from all over the U.S.” As of last week, the city had sold 288 items through the site, including a 1994 Simon Duplex 75-foot ladder truck previously used by the High Point Fire Department to a bidder 269 miles away in South Carolina. Of the top 10 assets sold by the city through the site, the average distance traveled by buyers to High Point was more than 723 miles. Smith said the surplus property is typically comprised of things like police vehicles, which are often sold to taxi cab companies, and garbage trucks, which are purchased by waste haulers in the private sector. The surplus property funds aren’t expected to have a major impact on a cost-cutting measure tentatively approved by the City Council to reduce the fleet replacement budget by $300,000 for the budget year beginning July 1. “Given the situation we’re in now, we’re all going to have to tighten our belts to make vehicles and equipment last longer,” Smith said. The cuts shouldn’t affect the city’s ability to replace things like police vehicles, but plans are to scale back other aspects of the fleet for more repairs short of replacement. “We put public safety first. You look at refuse, garbage collection, landfill operations – those are things we have to put at the top of the list,” he said. “We pretty much have to prioritize after that, so there are things we’ll just have to extend out for longer periods.”

Phase 2 of Energy Star program puts responsibility on consumer

Mostly cloudy High 89, Low 67

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The second phase of the North Carolina Energy Star State Appliance Rebate Program kicked off Tuesday with a slow but steady pace, according to local retailers. The “Black Friday” feel wasn’t as prevalent as it was when the first phase of the program began April 22, said John Capes, store manager of Sears at Oak Hollow Mall. “This is a totally different animal than phase one,” Capes said. “It’s much more contained and self-controlled. A lot of it is on the consumer this time.” Unlike the first phase, which offered 15 percent in-store rebates on Energy Star-qualified refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers and washing machines, the second phase is offering mail-in rebates of varying amounts on qualifying air conditioners, heat pumps and water heaters as well. Consumers can apply for a prepaid Visa rebate card on the North Carolina Energy Office’s Web site. The state will mail approved applicants a prepaid Visa card with the rebate amount. After 15 days, the card loses its value and the money goes back into the program. Because the $1 million set aside for the program is far less than the

Sears employee Jack Vance moves hot water heaters for display. $8.6 million in federal government funding that phase one began with, some retailers speculate the money could go fast. “I think people will be lucky if they can still get the rebates after the next 48 hours,” said Herman Hunter, president of Hunter Heating & Air Conditioning on W. Ward Avenue. Hunter said he had seen some sales generated by the program, but the sales came from customers that were already planning to buy the appliances in the near future. He sold an air conditioning unit and a furnace under the program Tuesday. “It certainly hasn’t hurt,” he said. “It has sped up decisions on doing things. If a person was going to buy

one of these items anyway but they were going to put it off for a couple of months, it has caused them to buy now instead.” Sales associates at Lowe’s on N. Main Street said the mail-in rebates may cause a more widespread flow of traffic rather than a rush of traffic on the program’s first day. “I think the fact that this is a mailin rebate has slowed some people up a bit,” said John Rothrock, appliance sales specialist at the store. “We had a better day than normal (on Tuesday), but that’s about it.” The program ends when funds are exhausted. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Cunningham courts seniors, defends benefits RALEIGH (AP) – Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham sought Tuesday to earn the support of elderly voters – a key demographic for this month’s runoff primary. Trying to strike a contrast with rival Elaine Marshall a month after she won a first round of voting, Cunningham said he would work to keep the Social Security retirement age at current levels. He questioned a com-

at the time. Americans can get full Social Security benefits at age 67, which is up from 65 for those born before 1937. Cunningham said Social Security would be fine if lawmakers didn’t continue to raid the program’s funds. The Social Security trust funds have built up a $2.5 trillion surplus over the past 25 years but the government has borrowed that money to spend on other programs.

ment Marshall made two months ago when she told The Associated Press that lawmakers are going to have to look at whether to raise the retirement age to keep Social Security finances in order. Marshall pointed out that the life expectancy of the average American is on the rise. “With an aging electorate, some hard choices are going to have to be made on some of these programs,” Marshall said

It’s an issue Cunningham is raising to draw a distinction between himself and Marshall, who won a first primary vote last month. The two face each other in a June 22 runoff. “At the heart of it, the difference is that I’ll fight against raising the retirement age and she won’t,” said Cunningham, a Lexington attorney and former state senator, after an event at a Raleigh retirement community.

Israel began expelling some of the nearly 700 activists it rounded up in the raid, and rejected criticism of its heavy-handed tactics. Israel pledged to halt a new attempt by pro-Palestinian groups to sail more ships into Gaza.

DNA tests of innocent people violate their rights Our state government currently has the right to take DNA samples from people who have been convicted of a felony. Now, some state legislators and Attorney General Roy Cooper want the police to have the right to take DNA samples from any citizen who is arrested, even though they haven’t been tried or convicted. What about probable cause and the idea of “innocent until proven guilty’’? Isn’t taking DNA from a person who hasn’t been convicted of a crime an unreasonable search and seizure?

here’s many a true word spoken in jest” is a proverb, unattributed – one wonders who first said it. That thought came to mind April 1 when an article in The Rhinoceros Times jokingly told its readers that the city of High Point secretly had voted to secede from Guilford County and received state approval to become a county of its own. Then, last week, USA Today published a story headlined, “City-county mergers gain traction,” employing a drop-head reading, “Seen as key to fiscal solutions,” indicating that folks in locales across the nation don’t see such action as a joke. The article began with “strains on governmental budgets and demands for more efficiency are stirring new interest in merging cities with counties.” The story said there are about 40 merged city-governments, with Louisville-Jefferson County, Ky., being the latest in 2003, after three failed attempts to convince voters. Merger talks with varying degrees of intensity, for examples, are taking place in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County (Pa.), Buffalo and Erie County (N.Y.), Natchez and Adams County (Miss.), Macon and Bibb County (Ga.), Evansville and Vanderburgh County (Ind.), Covington and Alleghany County (Va.) and Peoria and Peoria County (Ill.). In addition, Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, which already provide what the Owensboro (Ky.) Messenger-Inquirer describes as “an excellent model of functional consolidation,” and, “although political divisions continue to prevent completion of a city-county consolidation, the CharMeck model has become a well-known success in terms of governance and regional economic leadership.” As you might imagine, there are pros and cons. Radio show host Brian Gongol, who has studied the process at length, suggests: • Pros: Waste and inefficiency can be reduced by eliminating service duplication; the more opportunities for small-to-medium-sized bids and contracts, the healthier the environment is for small businesses supplying those goods and services; core cities benefit from tax base expansion; and, it’s easier to promote a metropolitan area under a single “brand” name than under names of multiple communities. • Cons: It’s harder for individuals to influence elected leaders in a larger community; the overwhelming tendency for governments to become less efficient the larger they grow; the larger the unit, the greater prospects for significant corruption; and, the larger the unit, the easier it is to hide or ignore problems in smaller communities within. Why bring this up? As the 12-county Piedmont Triad Region is brought closer together – as in aerotropolis planning and execution – talk about consolidations and the importance of presenting ourselves to the rest of the world as a region rather than sovereign cities and counties will increase and intensify. You’ll need to know how all this works. That’s no joke.

Big-government liberals take their message to campuses

very year about this time, big-government liberals stand up in front of college commencement crowds across the country and urge the graduates to do the noblest thing possible – become biggovernment liberals. That isn’t how they phrase it, of course. Commencement speakers express great reverence for “public service,” as distinguished from narrow private “greed.” There is usually not the slightest sign of embarrassment at this self-serving celebration of the kinds of careers they have chosen – over and above the careers of others who merely provide us with the food we eat, the homes we live in, the clothes we wear and the medical care that saves our health and our lives. What I would like to see is someone with the guts to tell those students: Do you want to be of some use and service to your fellow human beings? Then let your fellow human beings tell you what they want – not with words, but by putting their money where their mouth is. You want to see more people have better housing? Build it! Become a builder or developer – if you can stand the sneers and disdain of your classmates and professors who regard the very words as repulsive. Would you like to see more things become more affordable to more people? Then figure out more efficient ways of producing things or more efficient ways of getting those things from the producers to the consumers at a lower cost. That’s what a man named Sam Walton did when he created Wal-Mart, a boon to people with modest incomes and a bane to the elite intelligentsia. In the process, Sam Walton became rich. Was that the “greed” that you have heard your classmates and professors denounce so smugly? If so, it has been such “greed” that has repeatedly brought prices down and thereby brought the American standard of living up. Back at the beginning of the 20th century, only 15 percent of American families had a flush toilet. Not quite one-fourth had running water. Only 3 percent had electricity and 1 percent had central heating. Only one American family in a hundred owned an automobile. By 1970, the vast majority of those American families who were living in poverty

had flush toilets, running water and electricity. By the end of the 20th century, more Americans were connected to the Internet than were connected to a water pipe or a sewage line at the beginning of the century. OPINION More families have airconditioning today than had Thomas electricity then. Today, more Sowell than half of all families with ■■■ incomes below the official poverty line own a car or truck and have a microwave. This didn’t come about because of the politicians, bureaucrats, activists or others in “public service” that you are supposed to admire. No nation ever protested its way from poverty to prosperity or got there through rhetoric or bureaucracies. It was Thomas Edison who brought us electricity, not the Sierra Club. It was the Wright brothers who got us off the ground, not the Federal Aviation Administration. It was Henry Ford who ended the isolation of millions of Americans by making the automobile affordable, not Ralph Nader. Those who have helped the poor the most have not been those who have gone around loudly expressing “compassion” for the poor, but those who found ways to make industry more productive and distribution more efficient, so that the poor of today can afford things that the affluent of yesterday could only dream about. The wonderful places where you are supposed to go to do “public service” are as sheltered from the brutal test of reality as you have been on this campus for the last four – or is it six? – years. In these little cocoons, all that matters is how well you talk the talk. People who go into the marketplace have to walk the walk. Colleges can teach many valuable skills, but they can also nourish many dangerous illusions. If you really want to be of service to others, then let them decide what is a service by whether they choose to spend their hard-earned money for it.

One road ends and another begins

THREE VIEWS

---

’m sitting outside enjoying the sun. Birds are chirping from the trees, and bees are buzzing while gathering pollen from the white clover flowers scattered around the yard. Soft breezes sway the branches of the trees. It’s a great day, and I love feeling the heat from the sun on my face. School’s out, graduation’s over and thank-you notes have been written. The big concert I have been working toward all year has been played, and my graduation party has been thrown. Just a few months ago, these events seemed like they would never arrive. It felt like I would never be released from the walls which held me four years of my life, five days of the week from eight to three (and often longer). It seemed like graduation would never come, but it has. It’s almost hard to believe I won’t have to worry about dress code again, at least in a high school setting. I won’t have to hurry down the hall for my next class, or rush to make another bagged lunch, or hide my water bottle while I’m in the lab. I can even have my phone or iPod out if I want. Now of course, I’ll deal with these types of annoyances in other parts of life, college included. But they always seem unbearable when you’re forced to go through them day in and day out on pain of a demerit and with daily admonitions from the principal. Sitting here has made me appreciate how time passes. I remember making a North Carolina Notebook several years ago. Filling a 2-inch binder with facts about North Carolina, pictures of historical places and

“fun” trivia seemed akin to climbing Mount Everest to my fourth-grade self. But I completed the project and was encouraged that I wouldn’t have to do another like it until eighth grade. Relieved TEEN VIEW that I had a reprieve for what seemed like Julie an eternity, I put the Fox future project out of my ■■■ mind. Eighth grade came and went. I don’t think we ever actually did the project, but what I’m interested in is that eighth grade came at all. What my mind labeled as forever in fourth grade passed by and is now in my rear view mirror. Similarly, what I thought as a freshman, junior or even a senior would never arrive has come, and is now in the past. My, how time passes when you’re looking back on it. And now I’m looking ahead toward college, knowing that it too will be over someday. But that won’t keep me from enjoying it; instead, it will encourage me not to waste it. I want to be able to look back on my college years and know that they meant something, and weren’t just space fillers. And I can’t even imagine my life after college. But perhaps it’s better to see what life brings me instead of forcing it to fit into my plans for happiness.

Ft. Hood suspect attends hearing FORT HOOD, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wearing his Army uniform and sitting solemnly in a wheelchair, the psychiatrist accused of gunning down 13 people at Fort Hood made his first courtroom appearance Tuesday and won a delay in his case. Maj. Nidal Hasan was paralyzed after being shot by two Fort Hood police officers.

Wiretap tapes key in Blagojevich trial CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rod Blagojevich has traveled the talk show circuit for months, telling anyone who would listen that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innocent of federal charges that he conspired to profit from his power as governor of Illinois to fill President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former Senate seat. Now the impeached former governor and his lawyers are finally going to plead their case to a federal court jury Thursday. Blagojevich plans to take the stand.

Feds open criminal probe of oil spill PORT FOURCHON, La. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that federal authorities have opened criminal and civil investigations into the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst oil spill, and BP lost billions in market value when shares dropped in the first trading day since the company failed yet again to plug the gusher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will closely examine the actions of those involved in the spill. If we find evidence of illegal behavior, we will be extremely forceful in our response,â&#x20AC;? Holder said in New Orleans. With the ambitious â&#x20AC;&#x153;top killâ&#x20AC;? abandoned over the weekend, BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope to stanch the leak lies with two relief wells that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be finished until at least August. The com-

pany is, however, trying another risky temporary fix to contain the oil and siphon it to the surface by sawing through the leaking pipe and putting a cap over the spill. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander, said Tuesday that BP was making its first major cut with super shears that weigh 46,000 pounds and resemble a giant garden tool. The company will also use a powerful diamond-edged cutter that resembles a deli slicer to try to make a clean cut above the blowout preventer, then will lower a cap over it with a rubber seal. Meanwhile, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says oil is hitting the state for the first time.

Al-Qaida: No. 3 official killed with family WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Al-Qaida announced Monday that its No. 3 official, Mustafa al-Yazid, had been killed along with members of his family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps one of the most severe blows to the terror movement since the U.S. campaign against al-Qaida began. A U.S. official said alYazid was believed to have died in a U.S. missile strike in Pakistan. His death would be a major blow to al-Qaida, which in December â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost both its internal and external operations chiefs,â&#x20AC;? an official said.

Experience vs. youth First-time candidate to challenge Whitley for council seat BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – In his first bid for public office, 25-year-old Geoff Shull hopes youth will prevail as he seeks a seat on High Point City Council. Shull, a native of High Point, will run for the Ward 5 seat held by veteran Councilman Chris Whitley, who plans to seek re-election. The filing period for this year’s municipal election begins next month.

Shull said Tuesday the main reason he’s seeking a council seat is to provide a coherent direction for the city’s future. “One thing I see is that the city is not moving forward. We have mixed visions – we’re trying to pursue an Uptowne, but we don’t really have a downtown,” said Shull, who was home-schooled before enrolling in college and graduating from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a bach-

HIGH POINT – New furniture orders continued to rise for the fifth consecutive month in March, according to the recent Furniture Insights monthly newsletter. Orders were 9 percent higher in March than the same time last year and up 2 percent from February, according to the newsletter published by High Point-based Smith Leonard Accountants and Consultants. About 61 percent of furniture companies surveyed reported an increase in year-over-year sales in March. New orders also are 9 percent ahead of the first quarter of 2009 thus far, the report showed. “The March results of our survey produced more positive news for the industry,” said Ken Smith, who writes the report each month. “Admittedly, we are still comparing to weak results in the first quarter of 2009, but it does appear that we are coming out of the slump.” The increase in March trumps the inclement weather that hit the South and the Northeast that month – a factor Smith said could have hindered sales. High Point’s invitation-only Pre-Market also was held in March. Economic factors such as jumps in existing home sales, new home sales and retail sales bode well for overall economic conditions affecting the furniture industry, Smith said. While there was a slight drop in the national unemployment rate in April, the number of factory and warehouse employees in the industry continued its decline to 3 percent below last year. Smith said in the report he hopes to see further sales increases and positive effects from the High Point Market in the April report. “It will be interesting to see what the April and May results are as we should feel the impact of what was believed to be the best High Point Market in the last several,” he said. “There was some concern that the good feeling at market was a result of retailers restocking and refreshing their showroom floors. Yet we have heard from some retailers that business at their level is indeed picking up.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Two children examine an engine from a propeller-driven plane at the N.C. Aviation Museum.

Aviation museum to host annual fly-in BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ASHEBORO – Aviation enthusiasts will have a chance to get upclose and personal with various kinds of aircraft and their pilots this weekend. The N.C. Aviation Museum will have its Fourth Annual Fly-In on Saturday, with helicopters and planes filling the airspace over Asheboro from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The annual event is a fundraiser for the museum. Museum leaders say they hope this year’s fundraiser will help with upgrading a hanger at the facility. “We hope to raise enough money to be able to pay for a wall to be built across 20 percent of Hangar 1, making it a two-story room, and adding heat and air-conditioning,” said Rick Bondurant, general manager and curator of the museum. Bondurant said he hopes to be able to display environ-

mentally sensitive items there. Along with the renovations, the museum hopes to be able to buy some new display cases, which are in great need. Bondurant estimates there are 300 items in storage because of the lack of display space. Also on the list are easels and items for the Bob Moon Museum Store, which will feature a 10 percent discount on the day of the fly-in. The event will host familiar vendors from the Triad area. Mitch’s Lexington Style Barbeque, Farmer Civitan Club and Gilbert’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream will offer a variety of food for attendees. Face painting, magic shows by Bondurant, live music by local musician Bernie Hall, aviation art print exhibits and model displays by the Central Carolina Remote Control Modelers Club and Kit Kringle will be available, as well as race cars provided by the National Auto Sport Association.

Ted Koppel’s son, 40, found dead NEW YORK (AP) — A son of former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel was found dead in an apartment after a day of bar hopping with a man he’d just met, a law enforcement official said Tuesday. A drunken Andrew Koppel, 40, had been placed in a back bedroom of the Manhattan apartment to sleep it off and apparently had been dead at least four hours before anyone realized, said Belinda Caban, who lives in the apartment. He was declared dead around 1:30 a.m. Monday, New York Police Department Detective John Sweeney said. The cause of his death hadn’t been determined, but there was no evidence indicating a crime, police said. Ted Koppel is the former longtime anchor of the ABC News show “Nightline.” Andrew Koppel was one of his four children. A telephone call to the elder Koppel’s publicist wasn’t immediately returned Tuesday. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an acquaintance of Ted Koppel, on Tuesday offered his condolences to the Koppel family. “It’s very sad,” Bloomberg said. “I know Ted casually, and I don’t know how anybody deals with losing a child.”

Co-creator of Trivial Pursuit dies MONTREAL (AP) – Chris Haney, a co-creator of the popular Trivial Pursuit board game, died Monday at the age of 59. Scott Abbott, who created Trivial Pursuit with Haney, said Haney died in a Toronto hospital after a long illness. Haney worked for The Canadian Press and the Montreal Gazette newspaper as a photo editor before going into the board game business. He teamed up with Abbott, a Canadian Press sports reporter, in 1979 to invent Trivial Pursuit. “He was one of the most knowledgeable, widely read people I’ve encountered,” Abbott said of his friend, who was a voracious newspaper reader.

Novant Health files lawsuit against Aetna

Senate panel recommends borrowing $451 million RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Senate panel recommended Tuesday that North Carolina borrow $451 million for construction and equipment purchases in state government and on college campuses, with boosters arguing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to incur debt despite the sour economy because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an inexpensive time to build. A majority on the Senate Finance Committee agreed with university leaders urging approval of the debt package, more than half of which would go to complete engineering buildings at North Carolina State University in Raleigh and North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro. The chancellors of both schools told the panel the building would prepare thousands of students in growing fields, including nanonengineering and bioengineering at A&T. Most of the students would remain in the state, where they are more likely to create companies that would generate high-tech jobs for North Carolina citizens, new N.C. State University Chancellor Randy Woodson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This certainly is the most difficult of times but we understand that investing in this future will continue to place North

Carolina at the lead of the pack,â&#x20AC;? Woodson told lawmakers before all Democrats joined a few Republicans in voting for the package. The bill could come to the full Senate as early as Wednesday. The proposed $450.9 million package, which

Most GOP senators voted against the package, saying it makes no sense to borrow when the state could face a $3 billion budget gap next year. wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require statewide voter approval like traditional bonds, would set aside $161.5 million for N.C. Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth engineering building on the Centennial Campus in west Raleigh and $104.4 million to A&T to replace the current McNair Building on campus. There would also be $130 million for repairs and renovations to state and university buildings and $55 million to buy equipment for

community colleges and University of North Carolina system campuses. Most GOP senators on the committee voted against the package, saying it makes no sense to borrow when the state could face a $3 billion shortfall next year. The additional debt payment would send the state over a self-imposed debt limit generated by a committee led by State Treasurer Janet Cowell. For years, Democrats have identified this target as one they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to surpass. The package would add another $39 million to the more than $600 million in debt service the state already must pay annually on more than $6 billion in debt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you do that in your personal life if you found out they were going to cut you back one day a week,â&#x20AC;? said Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, RRockingham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you going to go out and buy a new car? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care how much you need and want. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to be doing that. And we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be doing that for the state.â&#x20AC;? The additional debt would raise the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual debt service to an amount equal to 4.25 percent of state revenues used for operating expenses.

Wife conceals late husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affair

ear Abby: My friends and neighbors thought I had the best husband, and our children thought he was the greatest dad. But on the day he died, I found out he had been having sex with another woman. I went to visit him in the hospital and overheard the whole thing as he was talking to her. Abby, she was a prostitute. I knew money had been disappearing, but I never imagined anything like this. Should I go on pretending to my adult children, or tell them the truth? They thought he was the best father in the whole world. Even though this happened more than five years ago, I continue to have nightmares over it. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Still Hurting in Boston

The server was standing next to me and the 5-year-old, poised to take our ADVICE orders. My daughterDear in-law was Abby distracted â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; by the 2year-old, so I placed my order so the server would not be kept standing there. My son chastised me for not waiting until his wife placed her order first. Embarrassed, I offered an apology. Was I wrong not to wait for my daughterin-law to place her order? What would have been the proper thing to do? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Embarrassed in Garfield, N.J.

Dear Hurting: I see nothing positive to be gained by shattering your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image of their father at this point. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry he failed you as a husband. However, for you to spend more of your life nursing hurt and disappointment is a waste of your precious time. Talk to your religious adviser or confide in a therapist. But do not bring this up with your children.

Dear Embarrassed: Frankly, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;proper thing to doâ&#x20AC;? in this case would have been for your son to save his criticism until he could talk to you privately, rather than embarrassing you in a public place. Ordinarily, the rule of thumb â&#x20AC;&#x153;ladies firstâ&#x20AC;? would apply when giving the dinner order. However, because your daughter-in-law was distracted, speaking up and telling the server what you wanted makes sense to me.

Dear Abby: I am a 76-year-old father of three sons and grandfather of five. The other night, I was dining out with my brother, one of my sons, his 31-year-old wife, and their two children, ages 5 and 2.

Dear Abby: The company where I work posted an ad online and at our state unemployment job board for a position that

needed to be filled. The ad detailed simple but specific instructions that included asking applicants to write a cover letter to address certain questions. It also said â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in large letters: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Must Follow These Directions Or You Will Not Be Considered For Employment.â&#x20AC;? Of the 133 resumes we received, 76 did not contain the information that was requested. These applications were moved to an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Incompleteâ&#x20AC;? file and not considered for hire. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad is that judging by their resumes alone, several of these applicants had the qualifications we were looking for. With unemployment being what it is, I was surprised that the majority of the applicants did not comply with the simple instructions. Please advise your unemployed readers that a job is out there for them, but they must follow instructions. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Trying To Be Helpful, Tumwater, Wash. Dear Trying To Be Helpful: Consider it done. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll offer another suggestion: Always proofread what you have written to ensure there are no spelling or transposition errors. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

randon Robert Hall was an unlikely candidate to be a leader. Shy and quiet, he was not one to stand up, speak up or move others to action. Then, in third grade, after persistent prodding, Hall agreed to participate in his classroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it would be scary, but it ended up being a lot of fun. That is when I began to come out of my shyness,â&#x20AC;? Hall said. ABOVE The AND next turnBEYOND ing point occurred Patty Jo when Hall Sawvel played â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; volleyball, soccer and basketball at East Forsyth Middle School. He was named Most Valuable Player two years in a row because, he was told, of the way he treated other people. Hall did as the coaches asked, treated his opponents with respect and played with all his heart. This led to his being named team captain and a chance to talk to officials during the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was still quiet and very respectful, but I was learning to be assertive,â&#x20AC;? Hall said. Then, in eighth grade, Hall was invited to represent EFMS as a Kernersville Cares for Kids student leader. Hall would be attending KCK board meetings with five principals, the superintendent, the police chief and other officials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I had to stand up and make a presentation, I was really nervous. But when the adults came up and told me what a good job I did, it made me want to do more,â&#x20AC;? Hall said. And do more he did. The following year, as a KCK high school student at East Forsyth, Hall volunteered at the KCK booth at Spring Folly and talked to an average of 100 people per hour. By 10th grade, Hall made the choice to quit sports to focus more on KCK, which supports voluntary drug testing and aims to create positive connections between students and their adult community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2010, the concept of leadership really gelled for me. I began speaking at civic clubs and looking for ways to get our message out,â&#x20AC;? Hall said. In the spring, Hall was unanimously elected by his peers to be the president of KCKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 student leaders, and on April 27 he gave a speech to more than 400 people at the annual KCK Lunch and Listen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;KCK has changed my life,â&#x20AC;? Hall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped me stay drug free, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taught me how to lead, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped me make positive connections with my community.â&#x20AC;?

ear Dr. Donohue: A dear friend has a very rare disease, Cronkhite-Canada syndrome. It started last summer with her hair falling out, then her finger and toenails were affected. Can you tell me more about it? – M.Y.

BLONDIE

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is named after the two doctors who first described it in 1955. It’s a most uncommon illness, featuring polyps in the digestive tract that lead to diarrhea, abdominal pain, malabsorption and malnutrition. In addition to the digestive tract, hair loss and nail changes, including loss of the nails, often are encountered. Treatment involves restoring nutritional balance through intravenous feeding. A number of drugs, including the cortisone drug prednisone, have been used to control this illness. Because of its rarity, its cause hasn’t been found, and the one best treatment remains to be determined. I used your letter for another reason. That reason is to introduce the public to NORD, the National Organization for Rare Disorders. More than 6,000 serious illnesses are considered rare, and they affect more than 25 million Americans. People with rare disorders shoulder two burdens: One is coping with the ravages of the disease; the second is contending with the public’s lack of awareness of the

for a short time. They serve as warning signs. Ultrasound exams of the arteries are one way of determining blockages. The more or less permanent numbness you feel and the dryness of the throat aren’t stroke symptoms. Only a doctor’s hands-on exam will disclose what’s going on.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Is there any way to tell if your carotid artery is blocked? Lately, the left side of my head feels somewhat numb, and the left side of my throat is dry. – T.S.

If your husband is eating well but losing weight, something must be interfering with his food absorption. I’d get the opinion of a gastroenterologist for this. If nothing is found, then the only way to put on weight is through an increase of calories. Calorie-dense snacks might turn the corner for him. A handful of nuts, about an ounce, has 185 calories. Two tablespoons of peanut butter has 190 calories. A cup of ice cream at bedtime adds 300 calories. Maybe he would tolerate another can of Boost. That would give him an extra 240 calories. Your husband has had more than his share of trouble.

The right and left carotid arteries, located in the neck, supply blood to the right and left sides of the brain. A blockage of either brings on a stroke. Carotid artery blockages ought to be detected before a stroke occurs and part of the brain is lost.

He takes Boost. What can I give him so that he’ll gain weight? Doctors say to feed him more. That’s impossible. – W.D.

Robin Leftwich will teach a class in West African drum music on Wednesdays, beginning tonight, at the YWCA.

The drums of Bountourabi Robin Leftwich finds West African drum music to be good for the soul BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – For more than a quarter-century, Robin Leftwich has been learning the secrets of drumming, but she’s not much for keeping a secret. “My belief is that this isn’t a secret to be kept, but a tradition to be shared,” she says. Leftwich, of High Point, shares the tradition not only by performing, but also by teaching drum classes, such as the series of four classes that will begin tonight at the YWCA of High Point. Those classes will focus on West African drumming, which has become Leftwich’s specialty during the past 10 years or so. Specifically, Leftwich will be teaching the art of the West African hand drum, which is called a djembe (pronounced “JIM-bay”). Students will learn traditional West African rhythms and basic drumming techniques, as well as the cultural and historical background of the music. “I’ve traveled to Guinea, West Africa, several times to study the culture and the music and the history, and I’ve brought it back with me to use in my teaching,” Leftwich says. “I try to be as accurate as possible – not just about the music, but also about the culture and the history and the people, and the importance of the music to the people.” Leftwich is a personal student of Fode Moussa Camara – an internationally renowned

A West African drum class, taught by Robin “Bountourabi” Leftwich, will be offered Wednesdays, tonight through June 23, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the YWCA of High Point, 112 Gatewood Ave. The cost is $50 for all four sessions or $15 per drop-in class.

She even has an indigenous name when she travels to Guinea – Bountourabi, which means “angel” in Sousou, the language spoken in Guinea. “They don’t even call me Robin there – they just call me Bountourabi,” she says. In addition to playing and teaching, Leftwich has also established herself as an accomplished drum-builder, something else she learned during her trips to Guinea. According to Leftwich, drumming offers a number of documented health benefits, the most notable being the reduction of stress, which leads to better health in general. Studies have even indicated that group drumming significantly increases the disease-fighting activity of circulating white blood cells that destroy cancer cells. Playing the djembe also helps

Group drumming also tends to develop a sense of community, she says. “This drumming doesn’t exist as performer and audience – this music is for a community that exists together,” Leftwich explains. “Whenever it’s being taught or played, you blur the lines between audience and performer and find that you can create a community.” All skill levels are welcome for

Leftwich’s classes at the YWCA, and it’s not necessary to sign up for all four classes. “If you drop in for one class, that’s fine,” she says. “But if you come all four weeks, each class will build into something a little more developed the next time.” Leftwich encourages newcomers to give her class a try and says they won’t be disappointed. “I joke that it fires off the happy endorphins,” she says. “It makes you feel good, and you’re sharing the experience with other people.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Don’t let emotional matters cloud your vision or stand in the way of your progress. Use your charm and past experience to get what you want. Confidence, coupled with know-how, will lead to victory. Your numbers are 11, 14, 18, 28, 30, 42, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Complete what you’ve promised to finish. You will gain respect and be given more responsibilities. A personal matter may throw you off- course momentarily but you will be able to overcome such occurrences. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You decide whether or not you want to donate your time or money. Doing something because you feel guilty or are bullied into it will end in regret. A romantic encounter is highlighted. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Discuss your plans in a colorful and expressive way and you will get an offer for help. Be sure to do your homework because questions will be asked if you have left any detail undone. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will be tempted to make purchases you don’t need or be enticed by a fast-talking sales person. Spend time volunteering for a cause you believe in or that will help someone who needs your strength, courage and moral support. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be honest about who you are, what you can offer and what you want in return. You will get ahead if you work hard and do your best. Added responsibilities and greater rewards will be handed to you. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Know what you are up against before you agree to take on a job that is likely to require too much of your time. You have other responsibilities to think about, so unless you will be handsomely rewarded, it’s best to take a pass. Fulfill domestic obligations first. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get together with someone who shares your views and is just as innovative and imaginative as you. Preparation will be the key to your success. An emotional encounter may be costly but the lesson you learn will prepare you for future involvements. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone you are close to is likely to keep an emotional matter a secret, leaving you in a compromising position. If something doesn’t make sense, take a pass. A love relationship will be enhanced if you share your thoughts, feelings and intentions. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be enticed by the unusual and gravitate toward adventure and new destinations. You will enjoy interacting with people from different backgrounds, sharing your thoughts and opinions. You will be motivated to try something new. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let your emotions rule your credit cards. Just because someone you love wants something doesn’t mean you should run out and buy it. Love is highlighted but all you need to do is to spend time with the person you care for. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your time, money and effort into your home. You need a change that will help you discover your true potential. Take a correspondence course or research information about a new skill -- all will be conducive to improving your life. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will have a hidden agenda or you will be dealing with someone with ulterior motives. Whichever the case, be careful not to jump into something under false pretenses. Love is on the rise but don’t lower your standards or get involved in things you don’t agree with. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

When I watched today’s deal, South was Joe Overberry, who plays every contract for the maximum – and many for the minimum. He thinks it’s nobler to go down in pursuit of an overtrick than to make his bid. Joe and his partner had an easy auction to 3NT, and the play should have been no less easy. But when West led a spade, Joe saw a chance for two overtricks: He played dummy’s jack, expecting it to win. When East’s queen covered, Joe flinched but stayed true to form by taking the ace, leading a diamond to dummy and returning a club to his jack. West produced the queen and exited with a spade to dummy, and Joe went down two.

DAILY QUESTION

NINE TRICKS

You hold: S 9 7 6 4 2 H A 8 3 D J 9 C Q 6 3. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one spade, he bids two clubs and you return to two diamonds. Partner then bids two spades. What do you say?

Joe couldn’t salvage his contract by refusing the first trick. Then the defense could get a spade, a club and three hearts. To assure nine tricks, Joe must win the first spade with the king, preserving an entry to his hand. Joe loses the club finesse next, but unless West finds a heart shift, Joe will make an overtrick after all.

ANSWER: If partner weren’t interested in game, he’d have passed two diamonds; if he held A K 3, 2, A 10 7 6 5, J 8 4 2, he’d have raised spades directly. Since he has extra strength, and you have three useful honors and a five-card suit, bid three spades to try for game. South dealer N-S 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.

HPU’s Roberts eyes draft

WHO’S NEWS

---

ate Roberts grew up in northern Illinois, closer to Wisconsin than Wrigley Field, but still close enough to the Windy City to latch on to Chicago’s lovable losers. He’s a little more open-minded nowadays when it comes to major league teams. As for his friends... “I don’t care who drafts me, but if the Cubs draft me it would make all my friends happy,” Roberts said. “I was telling one of my buddies the SPORTS Cardinals were talking to me, too. He said, ‘If you go to the Steve Cardinals, I’ll kill you.’ Hanf “We don’t like the Cardinals ■■■ much, but I would love to play for the Cardinals,” Roberts added with a smile. “I’m more of a ‘baseball’ fan these days, so if I get an opportunity I don’t care where it is.” Roberts almost certainly will get a chance to play professional baseball after the numbers he put up at High Point University. The junior outfielder capped a remarkable season last week with Big South Conference Player of the Year honors, becoming only the second Panther ever – after Mark Shorey in 2006 – to capture the league’s top honor. While Coastal Carolina went 25-0 in conference games with its galaxy of stars, no one put on a better all-around show than Roberts. The 6-foot, 201-pound left-handed batter led the Panthers with a .416 batting average and set HPU single-season records for runs scored (88), on-base percentage (.573) and hitby-pitch (25). Roberts clubbed three home runs in a game against Towson on March 5, part of a campaign that included 19 long balls and 69 RBIs. And for all those power numbers, Roberts also blazed a trail on the base paths with 36 steals in 39 attempts. “When we saw him swing the bat in the fall we felt he had a chance be a very special player,” Panthers head coach Craig Cozart said. “We knew he was putting together a season you don’t see very often. Fortunately we had very good players around him, so he got pitches to hit.” Roberts’ success sparked High Point to a 31-29 record, its best ever in the NCAA Division I ranks. And while hopes are high in the program for the coming years, the Panthers could be moving on without Roberts. The Spring Grove, Ill., native began his college career in the Big Ten at Northwestern, where he started 46 games and batted .311. He left the Wildcats, though, and spent a year at Parkland College in Champaign, Ill. All he did there was lead the Cobras to the National Junior College Athletic Association

SPECIAL | HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY

Nate Roberts of High Point University, the Big South player of the year, motors around the base paths after one of the hits that led †o a .416 batting average. Division II championship, setting the NJCAA World Series record with a .710 batting average. Clearly, Roberts had options for his junior season. He mulled offers from schools such as Eastern Illinois, Eastern Kentucky and Eastern Michigan before getting serious about heading east – all the way to North Carolina. HPU assistant Rich Wallace was on a trip to check out one player and ended up seeing Roberts starring for Parkland instead. He sent back some film, assistant Bryan Peters arranged a visit and Roberts got his first taste of High Point. “It was kind of random. I had never heard of High Point,” Roberts said. “It was pretty amazing here. I didn’t expect anything like this. It’s beautiful. After talking to the coaches, taking the campus tour, this was where I wanted to come. It was a pretty easy decision.” The choice to keep playing college baseball last summer was made easier when Roberts’ name fell all the way to the Tampa Bay Rays in the 48th round of major league baseball’s first-year player draft. This decision could prove more difficult. Roberts was slated to play with the Luray Wranglers in Virginia’s Valley League this

summer, but returned home Monday to work out and await the draft. Picks will be made June 7-9. “There’s a good chance I’ll get drafted. I’ve talked to a lot of teams, but you never know,” Roberts offered. “They could tell you one thing and another thing happens. My experience last year getting drafted, it taught me to just keep an open mind.” Besides, returning to HPU isn’t all that unattractive a fallback. “I have no problem going back to High Point,” Roberts said. “Give me something fair enough, or I would love to come back here for my senior year.” For his part, Cozart obviously would love to pencil Roberts into the middle of the 2011 lineup, but knows “you can’t worry about something you can’t control.” And that’s the major league draft in a nutshell. “Draft-wise, we hope he gets drafted in a high round, gets paid well, and it’s a nobrainer for him to start his pro career,” Cozart said. “At the other end of the spectrum, if not, I hope it’s an easy decision for him to come back to school.” Stay or leave, Roberts already left quite a mark in the Panther record books. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Panthers host Big South meetings BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Format for the men’s basketball tournament is expected to be discussed but no formal proposal to change it is on the agenda of the Big South Conference meetings set for today and Thursday at High Point University. League assistant commissioner for public relations Mark Simpson said the docket includes hearing reports on this past season’s men’s and women’s tournaments and that discussion on the men’s tournament format is to be part of that.

Under the current format, first-round games are played at the four best seeds. The semifinals are at the No. 1 seed, with the finals at the highest remaining seed. The top eight finishers among nine eligible teams qualify for the tourney. Presbyterian is not eligible until 2011-12 because it is making a transition from Division II. “We were asked to get feedback on possible neutral sites,” Simpson said. “The administrators will go over the data that has been collected and will determine which format is the best.” Simpson said no vote is

needed to keep the same format if there is no proposal to change it. If there is a decision to change to a neutral site, he said the league would have to move quickly to get bids from interested venues. High Point University coach Scott Cherry said last month that a neutral site would eliminate travel for some teams, but that he understands the need to have the finals at the best remaining seed. “Because the finals are on ESPN, the league needs to project the best image that it can,” Cherry said. “And if you play all the games at say, Charleston, and the two teams in the

finals are Liberty and Radford, then you are likely not to have a good crowd, and that doesn’t look good for the league.” Under the current format, a lower seeded team could play at three different locations HPU, which was seeded fifth, was eliminated in a first-round game at UNC Asheville this past season. “It didn’t have the atmosphere that you get at a neutral site,” Cherry said. “It was like another road game for us. It didn’t have a tournament feel.” The rest of the agenda was described by Simpson as housekeeping issues. The meetings will

conclude with a banquet Thursday night at High Point Country Club’s Emerywood facility for the announcement of the league’s award winners and induction of six people into the Big South hall of fame. The inductees are Jim Gardas of Charleston Southern (golf), Catherine Conder of Coastal Carolina (cross country/track), Guy Norcott of Coastal Carolina (soccer), Dr. Ron Bradley of Radford (basketball), Josh Pittman of UNC Asheville (basketball) and Kevin Pendley of Winthrop (golf). gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

HIT AND RUN

---

xpect plenty of excitement when the NBA Finals tip off on Thursday night. Just don’t expect the series to go the full seven games. A look back at the past 20 NBA Finals reveals that only two went to the limit – the Spurs downed the Pistons 4-3 in 2005 and the Rockets outlasted the Knicks 4-3 in 1994. Granted, there have been some memorable six-game Finals. Five of the Jordan-led Bulls six NBA crowns came in six-game champion-

ship series and the Celtics topped the Lakers in six a couple years back. Since 1989, nine NBA Finals were decided in six games. The rest of the breakdown finds five series that lasted five games plus four series that resulted in four-game sweeps. For the record, 16 NBA Finals have gone seven games in league history. That’s a pretty low number considering the NBA Finals have been contested 62

times entering the 2009-10 season. And while we’re dusting off the NBA record book, the Philadelphia Warriors defeated the Chicago Stags in five games to capture the first league championship in 1947. Hope you enjoyed this brief stroll down NBA memory lane. Maybe this year’s NBA Finals will prove worthy of the record books.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

High Point University head basketball coach Scott Cherry has hired Brian Reese, one of his teammates from the 1993 University of North Carolina national championship squad, as an assistant coach. “I know on the basketball side of it, he can really help our players develop,” Cherry said. “With his professional experience, he will be able to teach our players the things they need to do to be successful at the next level. “He’ll be very involved in recruiting and his ties to the New York City area and up and down the East Coast will bring us an added dimension,” Cherry added. After graduating from North Carolina, Reese spent the summer and preseason with the Milwaukee Bucks. He played professionally in Austria, Belgium, the Dominican Republic, England, Finland, Iceland, France, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Puerto Rico. Reese joins the Panthers after one season as an assistant coach at Wingate, where he helped the Bulldogs improve to 14-14. Prior to that, Reese spent one season as the head coach of varsity boys basketball at South Iredell High School and two seasons as JV head coach and varsity assistant at Porter Ridge High School in Indian Trail.

Lakers, Celtics ready to meet in Finals for 12th time LOS ANGELES (AP) — Phil Jackson knows the story by heart, even if his players only seem interested in the last two chapters. Their coach is steeped in the history of pro basketball’s most compelling rivalry, familiar with every twist in the Boston Celtics’ half-century of championship clashes with the Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA’s most decorated franchises have battled through heartbreaks, high stakes and neck-aches while forging a true pro sports rivalry, that rarest of commodities in the age of free agency.

In the age of easy team-swapping, $100 million contracts and offseason Vegas partying with bitter inseason opponents, there’s not much actual malice to be found between these Lakers and these Celtics. “It’s not a personal thing,” Celtics forward Kevin Garnett said before the Celtics practiced at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion on Tuesday. “They’re a great team, we’re a great team. We’re both trying to get to the same goal.”

Tejada’s error opens door for Yankees THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Miguel Tejada’s two-out, tworun throwing error allowed Javier Vazquez to win a stellar matchup with Brian Matusz, and the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 Tuesday night. Tejada, playing his first season at third base, fielded Alex Rodriguez’s sharp grounder off reliever David Hernandez in the seventh inning. His throw to first bounced in the dirt and Ty Wigginton couldn’t stretch far enough to scoop it, giving the Yankees a gift.

Owls silence HiToms ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

FOREST CITY – Single runs in the first and sixth innings stood up for Forest City as the Owls topped Thomasville 2-1 on Tuesday in a Coastal Plain League West Division game. Grant Buckner hit a solo home run as part of a 3-for-3 night. He also drove home Will Skinner, who was 2-for-3 for the rest of the Owls’ five hits. Thomasville managed just two hits, one of them

a solo homer by Jordan Jankowski in the fifth inning. Former Trinity star Matt Dillon took the hard-luck loss, allowing just four hits to go with three walks and six strikeouts in six innings. Nick Blount pitched two scoreless innings of relief. Jeremy Fant got the win for Forest City (3-2). The HiToms (2-4) are off today and visit Morehead City on Thursday. Forest City visits Finch Field on Friday.

Blackhawks overcome struggles of duo PHILADELPHIA (AP) — At some point this postseason, it would have seemed preposterous the Blackhawks would have more wins in the Stanley Cup final than Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have points combined. Yet, that’s the reality for Chicago after winning the first two games at home. Toews and Kane have been noticeably missing on the scoresheet. Not a point, not an assist. Their sticks have barely touched the puck, reducing Chicago’s star forwards to jumping in the celebration pile and not igniting one. In a series where goalie Antti Niemi and a roll call list of scorers have put the Blackhawks ahead of the Philadelphia Flyers 2-0, Toews

and Kane have yet to play a major role in helping Chicago try and win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1961. “It’s not always the top line that gets it done as far as goal scoring,” Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said Tuesday. “By committee, by team, there’s a lot of different areas. Defense can even complement scoring as well.” True, but having the pair take over a game or two in hostile Philadelphia can ease some of the offensive burden of others not used to being counted on to score. Kane scored 30 goals and had 88 points this season; Toews had 25 goals and 68 points in leading the Blackhawks revival from one-time doormat to the second-best record in the Western Conference.

Cowboys, FSU share NCAA lead CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Arizona State’s Jesper Kennegard and Augusta State’s Henrik Norlander shot 4-under-par 68s to lead the individual race, while Oklahoma State and Florida State shared the team lead through Tuesday’s opening medal-play round at the NCAA Division I men’s

golf championship. The Honors Course was made softer and more forgiving by weekend rains and overcast weather. That gave several competitors a shot at beating the course record 5-under-par 67, first shot by Tiger Woods en route to his NCAA title in 1996.

Federer’s semifinal streak ends PARIS (AP) — There will be a Grand Slam semifinal without Roger Federer for the first time in six years. French Open upset specialist Robin Soderling struck again Tuesday, rallying past defending champion Federer in a rainy quarterfinal, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4. That ended Federer’s record streak of reaching the semifinals in 23 consecutive major events. The shocker was the second pulled off by Soderling in as many years at Roland Garros. He ended the reign of four-time champion Rafael Nadal in the fourth round a year ago, clearing the path for Federer to win his first French Open title and complete a career Grand Slam. Federer beat Soderling in last year’s final. Before Tuesday, Federer was 120 against the big-swinging Swede, winning 28 of their 30 sets. But Soderling’s recent improvement was evident as he controlled rallies from the baseline with his thunderous strokes. Federer found himself on the defensive and unable to move forward. “I’m disappointed to a

Stat of the Day: 23 — consecutive Grand Slam semifinal appearances for Federer, a record streak snapped by his loss to Soderling. Quote of the Day: “The conditions were what they were, but he deserves it. He played very well.” — Federer, after his rain-interrupted loss to Soderling. Wednesday’s Quarterfinals: No. 2 Rafael Nadal vs. No. 19 Nicolas Almagro, No. 3 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 22 Jurgen Melzer; No. 1 Serena Williams vs. No. 7 Samantha Stosur, No. 4 Jelena Jankovic vs. Yaroslava Shvedova.

Wednesday’s TV: Tennis Channel (8 a.m. to noon EDT); ESPN2 (noon to 6:30 p.m. EDT) Online: http://www.rolandgarros.com/index.html certain degree,” Federer said. “I didn’t think I played a bad match. He came up with some great tennis. It’s much easier to digest this way.” Seeded fifth, Soderling saved a set point in the third when he won a frantic rally, then won the set to take the lead for good shortly after a rain delay

of 75 minutes. “It cannot be much better,” Soderling told the crowd after his latest center-court stunner. “It’s great to play on this court. It’s for sure my favorite Grand Slam.” Soderling’s the only player other than Nadal to beat Federer at Roland Garros since 2004.

Roethlisberger returns to practice PITTSBURGH (AP) — A slimmed-down Ben Roethlisberger whistled practice passes to his receivers for the first time in five weeks, and a teammate didn’t need to watch video tape to know what he’d just seen.

“He’s been working hard at home,” defensive end Brett Keisel said. “He wants to be great this year. So, hopefully, he will (be).” Even if considerable repair work needs to be done, on the field and off it.

The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback didn’t talk to reporters after practicing Tuesday for the first time since drawing a six-game suspension April 21 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

MOORESVILLE (AP) — Red Bull Racing on Tuesday swapped the crew chiefs and key team members for drivers Scott Speed and Casey Mears, a move designed to try new personnel pairings during Brian Vickers’ absence. Vickers will miss the rest of the season while undergoing treatment on blood clots in his lungs and legs, and Mears has been filling in for him in the No. 83 Toyota. The swap comes two days after Mears and Speed finished 29th and 30th in the Coca-Cola 600, and it reunites Mears with crew chief Jimmy Elledge. The two were paired together when both worked for Chip Ganassi Racing. “The whole goal is to do the best job we can until Brian returns,” said Mears, who has finished 22nd and 29th in two starts as Vickers’ replacement. “It does make some sense if you look at it from Jimmy and I having already worked together. It’s going to speed up that process. Having worked together before, it’ll be strictly what can we do to get this car to go faster, instead of trying to learn how to work with each other.” Ryan Pemberton, crew chief for Vickers’ team since the start of the 2009 season, will begin working with Speed this weekend at Pocono. Vickers, who won one race last season and made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, was 20th in points before he was sidelined with blood clots. Speed is currently 26th in the standings.

Former car owner Jackson dies at 74 ASHEVILLE (AP) — Richard Jackson, who fielded cars in NASCAR’s top two levels for 26 years, has died. He was 74. Jackson formed Precision Products Racing with his brother, Leo Jackson Jr., in 1974. Bob Pressley drove for the team in what was the NASCAR Late Model Sportsman Division. The team made its Cup debut in 1981 with Dave Marcis at Darlington. Its drivers over the years included Benny Parsons, Harry Gant and Phil Parsons. Phil Parsons won the first race for the team in 1988 at Talladega. Richard Jackson formed Richard Jackson Motorsports in 1990, and its drivers included Rick Mast, Terry Labonte, Jerry Nadeau, Morgan Shepherd and Lance Hooper.

Busch pares operation to one Truck team MOORESVILLE. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kyle Busch shut down one of his financially strapped Truck Series teams Tuesday after driver Tayler Malsam accepted a promotion to the Nationwide Series. Malsam will drive the No. 10 Toyota for Braun Racing starting Saturday at Nashville. Kyle Busch Motorsports announced it will no longer enter the No. 56 Toyota, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a fulltime sponsor, in the Truck Series the rest of the season. Malsam is the second KBM driver to leave for the Nationwide Series in a month. Brian Ickler, who had been splitting time with Busch in the No. 18 truck, accepted a job with Roush Fenway Racing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The same situation occurred with Tayler,â&#x20AC;? Busch said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Braun offered him a chance to move up to the Nationwide Series and we have no reason to hold him back. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a driver, like Brian, who absorbed a lot of knowledge from myself, (competition director) Rick Ren and the rest of the guys at KBM. We support him all the way.â&#x20AC;? Shutting down the No. 56 team will lessen the financial load for Sprint Cup star Busch, whose foray into ownership this year has been plagued by sponsorship woes. He acknowledged last month that he was funding the two teams mostly out of his own pocket. KBM will continue to field the No. 18 truck, which is tops in the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; standings. Busch will drive it in some races.

INDY UPDATE

â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; IndyCar driver Ryan Hunter-Reay has had successful surgery on his left thumb and is being fitted for a carbon-fiber splint that will allow him to race Saturday at Texas. The American has won one race this season and his deal with Andretti Autosport is to expire after Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race. He is the only driver to reach Victory Lane not driving for Roger Penske or Chip Ganassi. Hunter-Reay hurt the thumb on pit row during Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Indianapolis 500. He also was involved in the frightening crash with Mike Conway on Lap 199, but was not injured in that collision. Dreyer & Reinbold Racing has not said who will replace Conway in the No. 24 car. He is expected to miss at least three months with leg and back injuries. The rest of the driver schedule is still being determined after Icklerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure. Veteran Johnny Benson will drive the truck Friday at Texas while Busch is at Pocono Raceway for Cup race. The 21-year-old Malsam finished no better than 13th in seven Truck Series races this year and was 11th in the points standings. Malsam will replace Jason Leffler in the No. 10 Nationwide car, while Leffler returns to Braunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 38.

Police wait outside Pilditch Stadium in Pretoria, South Africa as the U.S. national soccer team finishes its training session Tuesday. The U.S. team is preparing for the upcoming World Cup tournament, which starts on June 11.

U.S. team staying in fortified hotel IRENE, South Africa (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The slogan on the side of the bus reads â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Victory!â&#x20AC;? with the Stars and Stripes painted alongside. The U.S. World Cup team is making itself at home in South Africa, ready at last to play the games that matter most. The Americans are staying in the 74-room Irene Country Lodge, a luxury hotel north of Johannesburg and south of Pretoria protected by stone walls and barbed wire. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lake on the property, with an adjacent farm filled with cows and enough

roosters to make alarm clocks superfluous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time,â&#x20AC;? captain Carlos Bocanegra said Tuesday in the interview tent, pitched on the dairy farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally here. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in South Africa. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited for the games to start. It feels real now that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down here in South Africa and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re set up at our hotel and you see all the World Cup fanfare.â&#x20AC;?

Building, manufacturing bolster economy WASHINGTON (AP) – The economic recovery gained strength on the biggest rise in construction spending in nearly a decade and the 10th straight month of expansion for the manufacturing sector. Temporary government incentives fueled most of the construction spending increases in April. Industry spending rose 2.7 percent with gains in all major sectors, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. In a separate report Tuesday, the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives, said its manufacturing index dipped slightly in May from a nearly six-year high in April. But the 59.7 reading for May was well above the 50 level that indicates expansion. Export orders rose last

AIG won’t accept lower Prudential offer LONDON – Bailed-out U.S. insurer AIG said Tuesday it won’t accept a lower offer for its Asian insurance business from Prudential, which proposed a $5 billion cut to calm rebellious shareholders who thought the price was too high. London Stock Exchange-listed Prudential PLC initially agreed to pay $35.5 billion for AIA, the Asian insurance business of American International Group Inc. Faced with the growing possibility that it could not win 75 percent backing from shareholders, Prudential lowered the offer to $30.375 billion.

Hewlett-Packard to cut 9,000 jobs NEW YORK – HewlettPackard Co. said Tuesday it will lay off about 9,000 workers in the unit that provides technology services to other businesses as the company consolidates and automates its commercial data centers. The cuts will be made over about three years and amount to some 3 percent of HP’s global work force of 304,000 employees as of October 2009, the most recent figure available.

Alcoa, union reach tentative pact DENVER – Aluminum manufacturer Alcoa says it reached a tentative agreement with the United Steelworkers on a new contract to cover thousands of workers.

month despite the debt crisis in Europe that threatens to spread. “The European fiscal crisis doesn’t appear to have harmed the prospects of U.S. manufacturers, at least not yet,” wrote Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist with Capital Economics. The news was welcomed on Wall Street. Stocks erased early losses after the two reports signaled a lift in the economic recovery. The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 40 points in midday trading after sliding in early trading. Construction spending was boosted by a homebuyer tax credit, which helped residential construction surge 4.4 percent in April. The tax credit expired at the end of April. Government spending

also rose on the strength of federal support. The 2.4 percent increase was aided by the economic stimulus program that Congress passed in February 2009. State and local spending jumped 2.3 percent and federal spending rose 2.9 percent. The other major sector, nonresidential construction, climbed 1.7 percent. That marked the first advance in this category since March 2009. The strength in April came from gains in private sector work on communications projects and power generation facilities. Construction of office buildings and the category that includes shopping centers fell in April. Commercial building projects have suffered in the weak economy through rising loan defaults and tighter credit.

BP shares drop in Europe LONDON (AP) – Shares in BP PLC plummeted on Tuesday, wiping billions off the British company’s market value, after the failure of its latest attempt to stop the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Speculation about the London-based company’s future mounted as the share rout – taking the stock to its lowest level in more than a year – was compounded by BP’s revelation that its costs relating to the accident are approaching $1 billion. Some analysts believe that BP’s stock will rebound if renewed efforts to contain the spread of oil from the broken Deepwater Horizon well are successful, but others suggest that the company could become a takeover target. “This situation has now gone far beyond concerns

of BP’s chief executive Tony Hayward being fired, or shareholder dividend payouts being cut – it’s got the real smell of death,” said Dougie Youngson, oil analyst at Arbuthnot. “Given the collapse in the share price and the potential for it to fall further, we expect that it could become a takeover target, particularly if its operating position in the U.S. becomes untenable,” he added. BP shares closed down 13 percent at 429.9 pence ($6.31) on the London Stock Exchange on Tuesday – making it the biggest faller on the exchange on the first day of trading since the company’s unsuccessful attempts at a “top kill” operation, shooting mud and other debris into the leaking well, over the weekend.

Feds probe pedals in Ford models WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal safety regulators are investigating a small number of reports of gas pedals becoming trapped by floor mats in 2010 Ford Fusions and Mercury Milans. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it has received three such complaints involving unsecured all weather floor mats. There are no reports of crashes or injuries because of the problem. But it is similar to Toyota’s problems with floor mats that led to the recall of more than 5 million ve-

hicles worldwide. In those cases, drivers said their vehicles sped up when pedals became lodged under all-weather mats that were stacked on top of the floor mats. To solve the problem, Toyota shortened its gas pedals and took out some of the carpet padding below the pedal. Safety officials said the investigation covers about 250,000 Fusions and Milans. The preliminary investigation, opened on Friday, is meant to determine whether the complaints have merit and the seriousness of any potential problems.

Start of oil spill probe sparks sell-off NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks took another lateday dive Tuesday after the government said it was starting criminal and civil investigations into the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped almost 113 points. Its plunge came shortly before the close and minutes after Attorney General Eric Holder made the announcement. Stocks in energy companies and oil service providers tumbled on the news, and other stocks followed. BP PLC, which operated the rig that caused the spill, fell almost 15 percent. Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which has a stake in the rig that exploded, tumbled nearly 20 percent. Oil services company Halliburton Inc. fell almost 15 percent. Tuesday’s announcement raised the possibility that oil companies might have to pay out huge amounts in fines, or see their operations hampered by a government investigation. “Right now it’s headline risk that’s killing us in this market,” said Ken Kamen, president of Mercadien Asset Management in Hamilton, N.J. Trading was choppy for much of the day before Holder’s announcement, a sign that investors weren’t sure where to put their money.

Gores to separate after 40 years Al, Tipper say no affair, they â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;grew apartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage that included a White House run when their sunny relationship offered a counterpoint to President Bill Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philandering. According to an e-mail circulated among the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associates on Tuesday, the Gores said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.â&#x20AC;? Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further. The Gores were telling friends they â&#x20AC;&#x153;grew apartâ&#x20AC;? after 40 years of marriage and there was no affair involved, according to two longtime close associates and family friends, who

CASH Quirk in law Ferguson: Access offer FOR slows producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s began as way to help friend GOLD

---

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorities say a quirk in Mexican law is delaying extradition proceedings for a TV producer being sought in his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death at a posh Cancun resort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survivorâ&#x20AC;? producer Bruce Beresford-Redman said he returned to Los Angeles after leaving Mexico without his passport last month. Authorities said the extradition process requires a search of Mexico to determine a suspect is not there.

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An apologetic Sarah Ferguson told Oprah Winfrey that even though she is in deep financial debt, her offer to sell access to her former husband, Prince Andrew, for $724,000 began as an effort to raise money for a friend. The Duchess of York said in an interview that aired Tuesday on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she only asked for so much money after the undercover journalist posing as a businessman

gave her $40,000 for a friend, whom she would not identify. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just Ferguson took a long shot ... I think I just went, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going for 40 (thousand dollars), well, OK, if you want to do business in the future,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? she said, trying to explain, before, admitting that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what she was thinking.
