THOMASVILLE – A year after having what may have been the largest sewer spill in North Carolina in a decade, Thomasville officials are going through the process of fixing its sewer collection system.

Thomasville tackles

One year ago, the city of Thomasville experienced a sewer spill that continues to reverberate to this day. Called by some the largest sewer spill in a decade, it has prompted city officials to take a hard look at its current sewer system and make upgrades and repairs a top priority. Meanwhile, there appears to be questions on exactly how much raw sewage spilled into North Hamby Creek. Estimates range from 385,000 gallons to 15.93 million gallons, depending on who you talk to. This twopart series looks at what has happened in the year since the sewer spill, and steps the city has taken to ensure against any possible future environmental damage.

Thomasville officials hired Brown and Caldwell Environmental Engineers and Consultants to investigate the actions of Thomasville employees, prioritize the short-term and long-term needs of the collection system and determine the suspected length and severity of the spill. “First and foremost, we fixed the immediate problem as

Council makes corrective process a priority BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Faced with an aging sewer collection system, members of the Thomasville City Council say they are committed to making improvements. “We can’t continue to have the issues that we have now, but we need to address it.” said Councilwoman Jackie Jackson, referring to Thomasville’s repeated sewer spills. “Those also have fines associated with them. We need to look at our whole system overall. We can continue to put Band-Aids on it, but I think we need to look at it holistically and figure out if there is something we can do.” Councilman Scott Styers agrees with Jackson that improvements to the system are a top priority. “We recognize that this is infrastructure that must be upgraded,” he said. “We will find a way to do that. Like many cities, we have aging infrastructure. Many of our wastewater pipes are in excess of 50 years old. Like many cities, we are going to have to address that issue.” Thomasville officials say they are committed to finding the funds necessary to make the improvements. “We are going to look into every means that we can,” Styers said. “It’s not going to be easy. I think what our citizens have to understand is that it’s very unlikely that we are going to get money that’s not going to have to be repaid. That does result in most of the time a higher water and sewer rate. That’s unfortunate, but I

MONDAY: Questions on amount of spill still linger don’t know if we have any other choice.” “It will be increasingly difficult to find those funds,” Styers added. “We are going to exhaust every avenue we can to find those in a way that has the least impact on the citizens.” Councilman David Yemm, chairman of the city’s Public Services Committee, said it’s time for the city to not have the “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” attitude. “It’s gone on so long, we’ve got to do something to beef up the system,” Yemm said. “It’s tough because we don’t have as many customers as to what we used to have. ... We don’t have the huge water customers that we had in the past with the large industry that moved out. It puts a burden on the citizens to help pay for it.” Councilwoman Pat Harris Shelton said the process likely will take some time. “It’s going to be a long process,” she said. “It’s not something that’s going to happen overnight, but we are committed to getting it done. It’s going to have to be done.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

HIGH POINT – For Delena Queen, shopping on Saturday was all about saving money on back-to-school items. “We’re getting all of our school supplies and clothes today,” she said while her son, David, filled a shopping cart in Target with erasers and colored pencils. “We tried to get here before everybody else.” Like other shoppers in the store, Queen ventured out to take advantage of the state’s sales tax holiday weekend during which back-to-school items like supplies and clothing are exempt from sales tax. Saturday usually is the busiest day of the weekend for retailers. Queen said the savings that the holiday offers are important to her family. “It can help out quite a bit,” she said about the elimination of the sales tax. “It especially helps out when you think about all of the items you have to buy for school every year.” J.C. Penney store manager David Reese said that back-to-school shopping for many parents had become a summer-long process as local schools began requiring students to wear uniforms. “We carry those uniform items, and a lot of times moms and dads will buy it whenever we get their child’s size in,” Reese said. “We expect to see a lot of people, but it’s two-fold for that reason. We’ve sold a lot of uniforms all summer.” Omega Sports saw increased traffic from the sales tax holiday on Saturday because sports and recreation equipment that is $50 or less per item was also exempt from sales tax. Kim Davis bought two pairs of sneakers for her son, Blake, who’s entering first grade, at the store. “This is our first year doing this since (Blake) is going to be in first grade, Davis, of Archdale, said. “We shopped last night, too. We’ve seen a few crowds.” But the sales tax isn’t the only discount that’s helping Davis out this weekend, she said. Many stores also run additional sales to draw customers in, which allow shoppers to save even more. “A lot of places are having these big sales on top of what’s already going on,” she said. “That’s what’s really helping you out in savings this weekend.” Store managers said they expect to see light crowds today as the tax-free holiday comes to an end. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

NC Elections Board criticized for travel, spending on ballots

AP

Changing of the guard Lt. Gen. Dennis J. Hejlik (right) accepts the color from Sgt. Maj. Carl R. Green during the Relinquishment of Command Ceremony held at Camp Lejeune on Friday. The general in charge of the North Carolina-based Marine division is leaving to take over as the commanding general of Marine Corps Forces Command in Norfolk, Va. Hejlik will leave the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force where he has been in command since July 2008. Hejlik will become the commander of Marine Corps Forces Command this fall. The unit is one of three major commands responsible for organizing, training and equipping Marines for missions worldwide.

UPGRADES

Spill: One year later

RALEIGH (AP) – At least one North Carolina lawmaker says reports about travel and spending on ballots by State Elections Board officials needs to be studied. “We need to take a thorough look at this from the top to the bottom,” Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Carrboro, told The News & Observer of Raleigh on Friday. “In this most important field to citizens, we have to make sure it is done right and that there is no question about the honesty of the system and the people who work in it.” State Republican Party Chairman Tom Fetzer said Gov. Beverly Perdue should fire longtime Elections Board Chairman Larry Leake and the agency’s director, Gary Bartlett. The paper reported last week that Leake chartered a private plane to get from Asheville to Raleigh in time for an interview with a donor to Perdue’s campaign in connection with 42 flights on private aircraft that the governor failed to report as donations. Leake’s flight cost

taxpayers $1,563. The state board is investigating campaign flights taken by Perdue, even though Bartlett said in June that the probe had found no evidence of intentional wrongdoing. Perdue would not comment, but a spokesman for her campaign, Marc Farinella, said Fetzer was happy with the Elections Board until Bartlett said there was no misconduct by Perdue’s campaign over the flights. “He was obviously unhappy with the report,” Farinella said of Fetzer. “It all seems politically motivated.” Another report in the newspaper cast some shadow on a deal between a New Bern company that prints ballots for 86 of the state’s 100 counties. Printelect is owned by Owen Andrews, who along with his wife has donated at least $50,000 to Democratic candidates, including Perdue, and the state Democratic Party. Printelect’s ballots are twice as expensive as another printer’s, the newspaper reported.

quickly as we found it,” City Manager Kelly Craver said. “That repair was successful and continues to be successful. We have had no other problems in that area.” The repair, which took about a week to finish after the spill, replaced a section of the Baptist Children’s Home collector line. The line had a failure to a manhole, causing the sewer spill possibly during or after a rainstorm on July 13. Yadkin Riverkeeper Dean Naujoks initiated an investigation by the EPA after receiving a tip from an employee at the Thomasville Wastewater Treatment Plant who claimed plant officials intentionally under-reported the spill totals to the media. Craver previously said that Dean Lambeth, an employee with the city for 32 years, received a phone call from a Baptist Children’s Home employee on July 31, 2009, concerning a potential wastewater spill. According to Craver, Lambeth, who was responsible for overseeing the sewer collection system and the crews that maintain the water and sewer lines, had enough

reasonable knowledge then to investigate the spill instead of waiting until Aug, 3, 2009. The third-party investigation of employees did not reveal any criminal intent to create a spill or cover up any spill information. “We cooperated fully with state and federal officials,” Craver said. “We formulated a plan of action, which included an investigation of the action of our employees, an internal and thirdparty investigation of the spill event and an evaluation of the sewer collection system.” In the wake of the spill, Thomasville hired engineers to prioritize the short-term and long-term needs of the city’s collection system. Craver said an inspection for the Baptist Children’s Home collector line showed that it was the highest priority “needed to improve the system to keep from having further spills on that line.” “That line needs to be replaced,” Craver said. “It was the highest priority when we did the evaluation of the system.” The design phase of replacing the Baptist Chil-

fourth projects that will come down the line.” The other projects include repairs to the collection system at Concord and Amazon streets, as well as upgrades to the Northside and East Davidson pump stations. “We are trying to look at this not as a let’s fix this immediate problem and then walk away, let’s look at this holistically and prioritize a systematic way to improve our system,” Craver said. Craver said he also has contacted the offices of Rep. Mel Watt, D-12th, and Congressman Howard Coble, R-6th, to see if the city would be eligible for funds through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Typically, smaller cities and rural counties get those funds, but Thomasville is seeking an exemption, Craver said. “We feel in the near future we will have that exemption and in the long term, we will be able to get some grant funds to take care of some larger projects on some of our aging infrastructure,” Craver said.

Manager throws hot coffee in intruder’s face CRESCENT CITY, Calif. (AP) – An attempted burglary at a California supply store was thwarted when the manager threw hot coffee in the face of a masked intruder. Chris Hegnes, manager of the Englund Marine and Industrial Supply, was going into

work early Monday morning when he encountered a man in a mask charging at him with a hammer. Hegnes says he hurled his hot mocha at the man’s face and ran for it. The man came after him for a few steps, then ran to a vehicle

parked behind the store. Hegnes says the man apparently had been trying to break into a safe using the store’s hardware tools. The man didn’t get away with much, but damaged some tools. The sheriff’s office is investigating.

Of course, we needed additional easements and additional encroachment agreements.” The Thomasville City Council has appropriated more than $500,000 to replace the Baptist Children’s Home collector line. “Since we didn’t give approval yet and we had the time, we had the opportunity to apply for emergency loans from the state,” Craver said. “... the project has qualified and we have submitted all the information to finalize getting a loan to do that, which will allow us to take the funds we’ve already appropriated to do further design on the second, third and

old Thurman L. Burns won a six-month delay Friday to determine whether Burns is mentally retarded and therefore not eligible for the death penalty if he is convicted. Prosecutors have in-

dicted they intend to seek the death penalty against Burns, who also is accused of shooting a Fayetteville police officer. Judge Gregory Weeks granted the delay in the trial scheduled to begin Sept. 20.

Immigration skirmish brews in quiet SC town SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (AP) – In a quiet Southern bedroom community of gardens and parks across the country from Arizona, another skirmish in the battle over illegal immigration is brewing. Summerville Councilman Walter Bailey, worried there is a void in immigration laws, has proposed an ordinance that goes farther than state law, which was sharpened two years ago to allow police to identify illegal immigrants for deportation. The proposal would prevent illegal immigrants from living in the town of 45,000, which calls itself “Flower Town in the Pines,� and in most cases prevent them from working here. Bailey, a former state prosecutor, says it was prompted in part by the Obama administration’s challenge of the new Arizona law that was to have taken effect this week. “It was outrageous that when, by default, the state of Arizona has to go in there and do the job the federal government ought to be doing – instead of showing appreciation and support

in Arizona, the federal government sues,� Bailey said. A federal judge blocked key aspects of the Arizona law but Bailey said his ordinance is different enough that he doesn’t think the judge’s ruling applies. Bailey’s proposal not only requires most employers to check the immigration status of workers but those who rent homes or apartments in town would have to prove they are citizens or in the country legally. “The federal government and to a lesser extent the state government is not doing a whole lot about the immigration problem,� he said. He expects some council opposition but says most of the people he has spoken to favor the ordinance. Two years ago, the state passed a tough immigration law allowing State Law Enforcement Division officers to train with federal agencies in immigration enforcement. Since 2006, almost 116,000 people have been sent out of the U.S. by officers in 64 law enforcement agencies nation-

But SLED Chief Reggie Lloyd says the agency’s state budget has been cut since the South Carolina law passed and told lawmakers this year while illegals are arrested for serious crimes, the agency doesn’t have the resources to enforce workplace immigration checks. Bailey’s ordinance is based on a recent Fremont, Neb., ordinance already under court challenge. He is concerned about a challenge to the Summerville law if it passes but “I don’t think the threat of expensive litigation ought to keep us from doing the right thing. Sometimes you have to figure out what is right and stand up for it and take your lumps.� According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, lawmakers in 44 states passed 191 state laws and adopted 128 resolutions on immigration in the first six months of this year. Five were vetoed.

As the prime minister appealed for national solidarity, hardline Islamists rushed to fill in the gaps in the government’s aid effort. Pakistani officials estimate as many as 13 million people throughout the South Asian nation have been affected by the worst flooding in the

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) – Three groups of rescuers are searching for 34 miners trapped since Thursday in a collapsed gold mine in northern Chile. Mining Secretary Laurence Goldborne says it could take eight hours to reach the presumed location of the workers 1,000 feet underground. Goldborne said Saturday that he doesn’t know how long they can survive. No one has been able to communicate with the miners since the tunnel caved in. Goldborne returned

Afghan medical mission ends in death for 10 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – They hiked for more than 10 hours over rugged mountains – unarmed and without security – to bring medical care to isolated Afghan villagers until their humanitarian mission took a tragic turn. Ten members of the Christian medical team – six Americans, two Afghans, one German and a Briton – were gunned down in a gruesome slaughter that the Taliban said they carried out, alleging the volunteers were

spying and trying to convert Muslims to Christianity. The gunmen spared an Afghan driver, who recited verses from the Islamic holy book Quran as he begged for his life. Team members – doctors, nurses and logistics personnel – were attacked as they were returning to Kabul after their two-week mission in the remote Parun valley of Nuristan province about 160 miles north of Kabul. They had decided to veer northward into Badakhshan prov-

Obama: Medicare benefits aided by health law WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says Medicare will exist for many more years, thanks to new legislation that helped put the health care program for America’s seniors on stronger financial footing. Seniors already are benefiting from that new health care law, said Obama, noting that many have received $250 rebates to help buy medicine, for example.

Schwarzenegger: Let same-sex weddings resume SAN FRANCISCO – California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who twice vetoed legislation that would have legalized same-sex marriage, has surprised gay rights supporters by urging a federal judge to allow gay couples to resume marrying in the state. Lawyers for Schwarzenegger, Attorney General Jerry Brown, two gay couples and the city of San Francisco all filed legal motions Friday.

Prince George police charge 2 in slayings RIVERDALE, Md. – Police say they have charged two people with murder in the slayings of two women and two children in Prince George’s County, Md. The victims were identified as Dawn Yvette Brooks; her two children, 3-year-old Shayla Shante Sikyala and 4-year-old Shakur Sylvester Sikyala; and the children’s aunt, 41-year-old Mwasiti Sikyala. The two charged were ID’d as 43-year-old Darrell Lynn Bellard and 18-year-old Tkeisha Nicole Gilmer.

Mother of escaped inmate arrested in Arizona PAYSON, Ariz. – The mother of one of three inmates who escaped from a northwestern Arizona prison was arrested Saturday after authorities suspected she helped two of them. Claudia Washburn, 68, was arrested at her home in Jakes Corner south of Payson on charges of conspiracy to commit escape, hindering prosecution and facilitation to commit escape.

President caps birthday week with golf, BBQ WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is capping his birthday week as he went golfing on Saturday and plans to host a barbecue today.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Elena Kagan was sworn in Saturday as the 112th justice and fourth woman ever to serve on the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath to Kagan in a brief private ceremony at the court. Kagan, joined by family and friends, pledged to faithfully and impartially uphold the law. Afterward, she smiled broadly as a crowd of onlookers stood and applauded. “We look forward to serving with you,” Roberts said. Kagan, a former Harvard Law School dean who most recently was solicitor general, was President Barack Obama’s choice to succeed retired Justice John Paul Ste-

vens. Republicans criticized her as a political liberal, before the Senate confirmed her this past week on a vote of 63-37. She was sworn in twice Saturday by Roberts – reciting one oath as prescribed by the Constitution during a ceremony in a conference room at the court with only her family present. Kagan then recited a second oath, taken by judges, with her family and friends and reporters present. Kagan won’t be formally installed as a justice until Oct. 1 in a courtroom ceremony at the start of the court’s new term. But after the oaths taken Saturday, she will be able to begin assuming her duties as a justice.

Small plane crashes into home; 2 dead

NASA: 3rd spacewalk needed for fixes CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – NASA says a third spacewalk is now needed to restore a crucial cooling system at the International Space Station. Space station astronauts didn’t make much progress during Saturday’s urgent spacewalk. The crew had to hammer loose a stuck connector. Then, an ammonia leak erupted. In the end, Douglas Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson were unable to remove the ammonia coolant pump that failed last weekend. NASA originally estimated two spacewalks would be needed to replace the failed pump. After Saturday’s trouble, managers say three will now be necessary. The next spacewalk won’t be attempted until Wednesday at the earliest. Engineers need to figure out the next step. NASA says the space station remains in stable condition.

Firefighters work at the scene where authorities say a twin-engine plane crashed into a house in Bell Township, Pa., on Saturday.

SALINA, Pa. (AP) – A twin-engine plane slammed into a house in western Pennsylvania minutes after takeoff on Saturday, killing two people, and narrowly missing a man sleeping on his couch with his dog and setting the residence on fire. Westmoreland County spokesman Dan Stevens said the plane went through the house and landed in the garage, passing just to the right of the man when it came down in a rural area about 90 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. “God was on his side, without a doubt,� Stevens said. Steve Yanko and the dog escaped from the house, according to his wife, Rose Yanko, 66, who was shopping at a flea market at the time, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said. She spoke briefly to thank emergency crews who responded to the fire.

Gulf seafood industry tries to shake an oily image NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The rich fishing grounds of the Gulf of Mexico are beginning to reopen more than three months after crude began gushing from the sea floor. But those who harvest, process and sell the catch face a new crisis – convincing wary consumers it’s not only delicious, but also safe. As BP PLC closed the books on a defining week in its battle to contain the oil, with engineers finally forcing the surging crude underground with

Oil pipeline shows lengthwise 5-foot rip DETROIT (AP) – Officials say a ruptured section of pipeline that spewed oil into a southern Michigan river had a lengthwise rip that likely is less than five feet long.

a torrent of mud and cement, people along the Gulf Coast began looking to the future – including the fishing industry. “We have a huge perception problem,� said Ewell Smith, director of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board. “We have lost markets across the country, and some of them may be lost for good.� The Gulf accounts for a majority of the domestic shrimp and oysters eaten by Americans and

about 2 percent of overall U.S. seafood consumption. But with safety suspicions abounding, some wary suppliers appear to be turning to overseas imports. Henry Poynot, who owns Big Fisherman Seafood in New Orleans and has been in business for 26 years, said nonstop news coverage has had an effect. “People just can’t believe after seeing all that oil going into the Gulf that everything isn’t tainted,� he said.

Vince McMahon: Smackdowns unfair in wife’s Senate bid STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) – Vince McMahon, chairman and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, says his wife’s political opponents are taking unfair shots at his company using out-ofcontext footage – such as old images of a wrestler committing necrophilia or McMahon demanding that a scantily clad female wrestler bark like a dog – as part of an attempt to discredit her U.S. Senate candidacy. In an interview with The Associated Press, Vince McMahon said the wrestling empire’s detractors have left out the “soap opera elements� leading up to those moments. Also, he said credit hasn’t been given to the Stamford-based company’s efforts over the years to evolve, step up drug testing and improve its health and wellness program for the wrestlers. “Most of the people have not even seen our show. They don’t even know what this business is about,� McMahon said Thursday dur-

ing an interview in his corporate boardroom. “They haven’t been to a live event. They really haven’t watched on television at all. All they’ve seen is like one little snippet and try to make up their minds as to whether or not it’s acceptable programming.� McMahon, known by WWE fans as the character “Mr. McMahon,� the villainous, multi-millionaire owner, has kept out of the limelight for much of his wife’s political campaign. But their company, where Linda McMahon was CEO until last fall when she began running for the seat being vacated by Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd, has been an irresistible issue for her Democratic and Republican foes in the 2010 Senate race. Vince McMahon said he understood the WWE would be criticized in the campaign, but said he didn’t realize the extent. The attacks have become so distorted, he said, that he feels compelled to break his silence.

The Haitian-born musician says he will not back Jean because he lacks a definitive plan to bring the island nation into the 21st century. “You’ve got 1.2 million people living in tent city right now. What are the plans to get these people out?� Pras said of the survivors of the Jan. 12 earthquake. Pras plans to support Jean’s opponent, Michel “Sweet Micky� Martelly.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – High Point Regional Health System recently qualified for an award that recognizes success in treating heart attack patients. The American Heart Association’s “Mission: Lifeline” Bronze Performance Achievement Award recognizes the hospital’s success in implementing a higher standard of care for heart attack patients that effectively improves the survival and care of STEMI, or ST elevation myocardial infarction, patients. Hospitals that receive the award have demonstrated for 90 consecutive days that at least 85 percent of eligible STEMI patients (without contraindications) are treated within specific time frames upon entering the hospital and discharged following the American Heart Association’s recommended treatment guidelines. Hospitals involved in “Mission: Lifeline” strive to improve care in both acute treatment measures and discharge measures. Systems of care are developed that close the gap of timely access to appropriate, life-saving treatments. Before they are discharged, appropriate patients are started on aggressive risk reduction therapies such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, aspirin, ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers in the hospital and receive smoking cessation counseling. “High Point Regional is dedicated to making our cardiac unit among the best in the country and the American Heart Association’s ‘Mission: Lifeline’ program is helping us accomplish that by making it easier for our professionals to improve the outcomes of our cardiac patients,” said Meg Cashion, Emergency Department manager at High Point Regional. “Having more than 95 percent of our STEMI patients treated within specific time frames is an example of our dedication and achievements in cardiac care.”

A participant in the Uptowne Stroll takes a look some of the items outside Just Priceless along N. Main Street.

Uptowne merchants see business boost from summer stroll BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Some merchants on N. Main Street attributed spurts of increased traffic in their stores to the summer sidewalk stroll held by the Uptowne High Point Association on Saturday. Managers at stores such as Just Priceless and Simon Jewelers said they saw success with the event, which was designed to bring more pedestrian traffic to the Main Street area. It was held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with live music at Grateful Bread and Sumela Restaurant, and bounce houses for kids at Ray Avenue, the southern border of Uptowne, and State Street, the northern border. “We have had great traffic – better than usual,” said Sami Price, owner of Just Priceless florist. “We’ve had a lot of people come in and tell us they’ve always wanted to see what was in our store. “We’re excited about it (the sales generated by the event) because we wanted

to make room for our fall inventory.” Simon Jewelers saw new customers from the event, said owner Gary Simon. “We’ve had a lot of people

‘We’re seeing new people that have never been to the store before. I hope we get to do this again.’ Gary Simon Simon Jewellers coming in and a lot of people walking along the sidewalks in front of our store,” he said. “It’s the first time we’ve ever had that happen. We’re seeing new people that have never been to the store before. I hope we get to do this again.” Most stores advertised sidewalk sales for the day, but clothing stores and office supply stores in Uptowne also had

the advantage of attracting customers with the state’s sales tax holiday, which exempted clothing and school supplies from sales taxes from Friday through today. Sara Welborn said she came to N. Main Street to shop on Saturday because of the stroll. “It’s cooled down, and it’s great weather for this,” she said. “I think this was good planning. It’s good for High Point.” Some businesses saw less of an impact, such as Jarrett Stationery Co. at 1701 N. Main St. The store usually isn’t open on Saturday but opened for the event. Owner David Wall said he expects more people to participate in the sidewalk strolls as they are held more frequently. “It’s something that you start, you do it more often, and more people will come,” Wall said. Organizers of Uptowne say they hope eventually to hold three or four strolls a year.

Neighbor finds mother, son dead in their NC home BELMONT (AP) – A North Carolina man discovered the bodies of his two neighbors when he went to check on them after noticing their grass was unusually high. Neighbors told the Charlotte Observer on Friday that the bodies of the homeowner and his mother were found, but officials did not immediately release their names. Gaston County police Capt. Joe Ramey said the deaths were under investigation. Randy Ledford told the newspaper he noticed the high grass at his neighbor’s home and went to check on the retired truck driver who was taking care of his bedridden mother. When Ledford knocked on the door and checked the lock, the door opened. He found the woman’s body in a bedroom and called 911. Paramedics found the man’s body in a bathroom.

NC man accused of giving friend bag of human bones www.cumbyfuneral.com

DURHAM (AP) – A North Carolina man is accused of handing a bag of human bones to a friend and asking for help in disposing of them. Multiple media outlets reported Friday that 32-year-old Michael Charles Dorman of Mebane has been

charged in Durham County District Court with concealing or failure to report a death. Dorman is currently in Durham County jail. A call to his public defender was not immediately returned Friday. A search warrant says Dorman told a friend he had killed a woman

in Durham and needed to dispose of her remains. Orange County sheriff’s deputies say they observed Dorman hand a bag containing human bones to his friend. Police say Dorman told them he had simply found the bones in Durham.

Peter Linquist sits surrounded by information that will be available on his non-profit website at his home in Carolina Beach.

Vet aids colleagues’ search for help with PTSD WILMINGTON (AP) – Sgt. Peter Linquist rides an elevator down from his Carolina Beach apartment, his bulldog leaping out into the summer afternoon. Linquist limps into the sun, lights a Camel cigarette and steps back into the shadows of the garage. On his Operation Iraqi Freedom hat, the word “veteran” stands out in gold letters. “I’ve slipped through the cracks,” he said. “I have not gotten the help I deserved.” He finishes the cigarette and calls the dog back in, limping back to the elevator. “I’m really not supposed to be walking around,” Linquist said. It’s been a little over a week since he had surgery on his left ankle for an injury caused by a blast. Living with pain has become a central part of his life since he left Iraq in 2005. He’s 27 years old, but he’s on multiple medications. He takes antidepressants and mood stabilizers to treat symptoms from posttraumatic stress disorder. Because of injuries from a roadside bomb, he takes painkillers and muscle relaxants. He said he has fought for adequate care from the Department of Veterans Affairs for nearly four years, struggling for everything from surgery to counseling to disability payments. “It’s like jumping hoops with no legs,” Linquist said. Last week’s news the VA is making it easier for veterans to file PTSD claims comes too late for him. The VA said the changes would reduce the evidence needed for a veteran to say PTSD was connected to military service. Linquist, who had to outline specific dates of traumatic experiences, said making that process easier will be good for other vets. But he’s also making a personal effort to make sure others don’t suffer as he did by launching an advocacy organization to help veterans.

It’s called We Can Do This Together. As a child in his native Ohio, Peter Linquist loved to get to know people, said his mother, Mo Linquist, who now lives in Carolina Beach. “He was the cutest, funniest guy you ever met,” she said. That boy grew into a young man who was moved to become a Marine by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He joined Sept. 11, 2002, a few weeks before his 20th birthday. He spent about a year in Iraq during two deployments. In the second, his base was under constant attack from mortars and rockets, and he was even more exposed during security patrols. “I was a .50-cal machine gunner,” he said. He usually rode in the convoy’s lead Humvee. In 2005, a bomb exploded as his Humvee ran over it. His face slammed against the base of the gun. The blast ejected him from the truck. He was unconscious for up to 30 minutes. The blast left him with a traumatic brain injury. Since the blast, he has had pain on the entire left side of his body. And he has trouble remembering. “I couldn’t tell you what I ate for breakfast this morning,” he said. “My memory is pretty much gone.” But experiences in Iraq still return in flashbacks. They can happen several times a week and last up to 10 minutes. “I feel like I’m there,” he said. Panic attacks often follow the flashbacks, and paranoia pervades his life. “I always feel like somebody’s after me,” he said. He has taken solace in starting We Can Do This Together. He has a Facebook page up with nearly 800 supporters, and he has already helped several veterans connect with resources. When they call, he listens. He wants his group to be a one-stop resource. “This is what I’m supposed to be doing,” he said.

Trip helps veterans complete one more mission W ho could say it better than the legendary Will Rogers? “We can’t all be heroes. Some of us have to stand on the curb and clap as they go by.â€? Paying tribute to the “heroesâ€? of World War II is precisely the mission of The Triad Flight of Honor, which is part of the nationwide Honor Flight Network. The veterans are flown free of charge to Washington, D.C., to visit and reflect on the memorials created to honor their service and ABOUT to thank TOWN them Mary for the Bogest sacrifices they made for our freedom. The outpouring of love and admiration, both in the Triad and while in Washington, have touched the veterans more than words can tell. Two members of the Rotary Club of High Point recently returned from one of these emotional journeys and agreed to share their stories. I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Clete Kruyer, who retired as vice president of college affairs at High Point University several years ago, and High Point radio legend Max Meeks. My first conversation was with Kruyer. As I looked into his eyes, I couldn’t help but wonder about those times of “bombs bursting in air,â€? which put much of Europe in ruins. He had brought his discharge papers, books and photographs of his Navy buddies with him. As he began his story, I looked at the young Kruyer in the photos as we went back in time. In 1943, Kruyer was part of the Marine Corps program at Notre Dame – until a problem with his vision was discovered. He was given a special order discharge and then joined the Navy. Once again, his color vision became an issue until they found out he was interested in serving in the hospital corps. After boot camp at Great Lakes, Kruyer was assigned to serve in the 1,000-bed Queen Victorian Hospital on the Southampton waterway in England. The first night, they needed a volunteer for the psychiatric ward. Kruyer volunteered and served as corpsman for the psychiatric ward until after D-Day. He told me that it was commonly said the way to tell the corpsmen from the patients was that the corpsmen held the keys. At one time, Kruyer thought he wanted to be a psychiatrist, but that experience changed his mind. “Most of the patients suffered battle fatigue, and others were just under the pressure of battle. The sad part was that these were all young â– â– â–

people, and you just wondered what was going to happen to them,� he said. While Kruyer did not experience direct combat, he often heard the air raids overhead. “The sirens would start down the coast and get louder until you could see the aircraft overhead. The building was a three-story building, and we were on the third floor, and sometimes you would want to get under a table. We were lucky. The hospital was never hit, and every night I had a bed to sleep in and some reasonably good food to eat.� Certainly, Kruyer’s experience during the war changed his life. Instead of becoming a psychiatrist, he went back to Notre Dame for a business degree and later received his masters. He has returned to England since and visited the

area where he served. The hospital since has been torn down. The opportunity to go on the Flight of Honor was an incredible and unforgettable experience for him. “As the plane was leaving, fire engines escorted us and shot water from both sides over the plane. When we arrived in Washington there were hundreds of people to greet us. They had signs to welcome us. People lined up to shake our hand. It was unbelievable. I think that any veteran who has the opportunity should go.� Meeks echoed that sentiment, telling me, “It makes me want every veteran who can make that trip to enjoy what we enjoyed. Even the people who greeted us and welcomed us home. It was emotional for them. I have never had an experience like that

before.� Meeks was just 18 years old when he entered the military. “I was going to be a definite draftee. I wanted to go into the Navy, so I enlisted. I was sent to training and to radio school (the beginning of a legend). I was assigned as a radio operator on ship and would send and receive messages in Morse code except when I was on an amphibious transport (defined as warships that embark, transport, and land elements of a landing force for a variety of expeditionary warfare missions). We would carry about 700 troops on board, and we would be part of the invading forces that would make beach landings. “Our ship was called ‘Pet Milk,’ so any communication that our commanding force would be in contact with ‘Pet Milk.’ It was in coded language so we could communicate and anyone listening in couldn’t tell what we were talking about. “I would be on one of those crafts as long as the invasion was on, and, when it was over, I would go onto regular duty onboard ship – listening to coded messages and typing them out and relaying them to the captain.� I asked Meeks if there was a particular story he would share. He laughed and said, “I don’t know whether you want to print it or not, but I will share it with you.� He began, “When we were going into Iwo Jima, our ship was under the control of Admiral ‘Bull’ Halsey (whose motto was ‘Hit hard. Hit fast. Hit often). We had landed with 700 Marines on board and had landed half of those and were holding the other half in reserve. I received a message to ‘get the rest of the troops off’ so I took it over to the executive officer. He got very angry, saying that I had really messed it up because the Navy didn’t use language like that. They would say ‘disembark.’ The executive officer grabbed the microphone and called the command ship and asked for a repeat of the last message. You could hear a voice in the background saying what is the problem. So you hear steps crossing the deck and a voice booms, ‘This is Halsey. How

does your message read?’ It says, ‘Get the rest of your troops off.’ Halsey said, ‘So what is the problem,’ and the executive officer said, ‘Sir, the Navy doesn’t use language like that. It would be disembark your troops.’ There was a slight pause and he said “ Bleep, bleep, bleep. I said get them off.’ I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders.� And the rest of the story: The recently retired Meeks through his radio show became part of High Point history as the “voice� of High Point. “As soon as Dave McCoy let our club know about the Flight of Honor, I knew I wanted to go. It was so emotional, more emotional than I thought it would be. The crowds of people at the airport here when we departed and at the Reagan airport when we arrived. I

was just flabbergasted at the crowd that was there to greet us. When you think of Washington, they are constantly having heads of state, honorable people coming in and they are accustomed to that sort of thing and to think that the citizens would react to our group as they did to have music, people lining up on both sides of the car and cheering, people coming over, shaking you hand and just saying, Thank you.� To date, there have been five flights with the next one scheduled in October and continuing into 2011. If you are a World War II veteran and want to go on a Flight of Honor, contact any Rotarian or call 2858847. Here’s to all of our heroes!

Mystery of Confederate sub’s demise remains NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – A decade after the raising of the Confederate submarine Hunley off the South Carolina coast, the cause of the sinking of the first sub in history to sink an enemy warship remains a mystery. But scientists are edging closer. On Friday, scientists announced one of the final steps that should help explain what happened after the hand-cranked sub and its eight-man crew rammed a spar with a powder charge into the Union blockade ship Housatonic off Charleston in 1864. Early next year the 23-ton sub will be delicately rotated to an upright position, exposing sections of hull not examined in almost 150 years. Rotating the sub will allow scientists to, for the first time, completely examine the Hunley’s hull. It’s a delicate operation, involving replacing the existing slings before the sub is turned upright. The pressure on the straps will be monitored electronically and a laser will monitor to make sure the surface doesn’t get warped. When the Hunley sank, it was buried in sand listing 45 degrees to starboard. It

was kept that way as slings were put beneath it and it was raised and brought to a conservation lab in North Charleston a decade ago. Today marks the 10th anniversary of the raising of the Hunley, discovered five years earlier by shipwreck hunter Clive Cussler. As thousands watched from boats and the shoreline, the Hunley was brought from the depths and back to the lab by barge. Thousands turned out again in April 2004 when the crew was buried in what has been called the last Confederate funeral. During the past 15 years, about $22 million has been spent excavating and conserving the Hunley, according to Friends of Hunley, the nonprofit group that raises money for the project. About $10.8 million came from the state and federal government, with the rest raised through donations and tour ticket and merchandise sales. About a half million people have seen the sub that sits in a tank of water at the conservation lab. An economic analysis earlier this year estimated the project has returned its investment many times over.

The Move the Earth ministry organized a

“Jesus Shore” event Monday on the Seaside Heights boardwalk as an alternative to the “fighting and fornicating” organizers say the reality TV show celebrates. Abundant Grace Church Pastor Anthony Storino says

they’re not against the TV program. But Storino says there’s another side to the Jersey shore. The concert featured Christian bands and a Christian-themed tattoo contest. Vendors also sold Christian books and T-shirts.

High Point needs changes in its elected offices Kudos to Comeback High Point. It is time that someone sees what some of us have been complaining about for quite sometime. Thank God I am not the only person that drives through these streets and sees all the empty factories and stores that have sat empty far too long. Maybe the mayor has been behind closed doors far too long, as the rest of the city leaders. I strongly believe that when one holds an office as long as some of these leaders, they fail to see what needs to be done instead of looking back and remembering what was done. It is a shame a city of this size puts all its eggs in one basket, mostly an event that only happens twice a year (the High Point Market). I, for one, wish only success for these people who have come forth and want to challenge those who have held office way too long and have no concept of

I would like to know why our current leaders are so opposed to this new group and the new ideas they seem to have. The past is the past. Let’s move on. Change is just what this city needs. As far as comparing work records with others as our mayor did, why have Greensboro and other cities smaller than High Point rebuilt their downtowns into areas that are growing rapidly? I wish Sanders Dallas III much success. I will be watching closely the progress that I hope his group and each of the candidates it supports will make. LOIS WHITE High Point

City government doesn’t exist to serve business If government were run like a business, then having businessmen run the government might make sense. However, this symbiotic relationship is not valid. Most businesses seek to maximize profit, and greed often lurks behind the door. Government is essentially nonprofit and seeks to provide public services. It does not exist to serve only one sector – business – but rather the general welfare of all citizens. The Comeback High Point cartel is a very small, specialinterest group of people who are largely interested in profit for

themselves. Voters should keep this in mind come Nov. 2! JAMES COREY High Point The writer is a candidate for the Ward 6 seat on High Point City Council.

Stop Alcoa takeover effort

S

ince a bill involving state takeover of Alcoa Power Generating Inc. property along the Yadkin River failed in the N.C. House of Representatives last year, those pushing the idea have continued to attack Alcoa through small community meetings such as the one July 29 in Davidson County and media events such as an earlier visit to Raleigh and WinstonSalem by Erin Brockovich. Through these gatherings, proponents of the takeover are attempting to make Alcoa into a big, bad, polluting, uncaring corporate giant that is only concerned about making a profit at any cost. Because Alcoa is this kind of company, they contend, it shouldn’t be allowed to continue owning and operating its hydroelectric power plant facilities and properties along the Yadkin. Alcoa’s property includes High Rock Lake and dam in Davidson County. These tactics, however, don’t make this proposal for the state basically to seize and operate private property a proper thing to do. This idea to take over Alcoa is just wrong for several reasons: 1) this is America, where government doesn’t (or shouldn’t) just take over a company because it wants to grab its profits and assets, 2) the company is producing large amounts of clean, hydroelectric power, 3) state government can’t afford to pay a fair value for the property, 4) state government won’t be able to run the operations any more efficiently and 5) Alcoa is not evil because it closed an aluminum smelting plant at Badin. Much Alcoa opposition is driven by that Badin plant closing and the fact that, during the decades the plant was open, some operations there did cause environmental problems. Alcoa has spent money to try to clean up or contain those problems. It can be argued that Alcoa perhaps should be required to do more to repair any environmental damages at Badin or anywhere else along the river that it might have contributed to. But this debate still does not justify a state takeover of Alcoa’s hydroelectric operations. State officials should focus on how best to have regulatory oversight of Alcoa operations as the power generating company it has become in North Carolina, much as the state regulates Duke Energy and Progress Energy. But this notion that state government should seize the property and run it itself must end.

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

Some of life’s best lessons are learned the hard way

Y

ou may recall that the headline on the next-to-last article in the Hometowns Mystery & Scandals section published July 29 read, “Bootlegging was big, and gave birth to rise of NASCAR.” Jim Armstrong, an amateur historian himself, sent a note to David Nivens, a reporter for The High Point Enterprise who wrote three of the 21 articles in the 2010 Hometowns section, praising him for the “good article on Little Chicago and also the article on bootlegging.” Armstrong added, “It would be interesting to know the origin of the word ‘bootlegging.’ ” The first thing I did when Nivens showed me the note was to look up “bootleg” in Webster’s New World College Dictionary: “*bootleg vt., vi. – legged, – legging [in allusion to concealing objects in the leg of a high boot] to make, carry or sell (esp. liquor) illegally” before adding “the part of the boot that covers the leg ... something bootlegged; esp. bootlegged liquor, recordings, etc. ... Football a type of play in which the quarterback fakes a handoff to a running back and then runs, usually around the defensive end, with the ball hidden behind a hip.” Then, being old school, I turned to “Encyclopaedia Britannica,” which identified “bootlegging, in U.S. history, (as) illegal traffic in liquor in violation of legislative restrictions on the manufacture, sale or transportation. The word apparently came into general use in the Midwest in the 1880s to denote the practice of concealing flasks of illicit liquor in boot tops when going to trade with Indians.” And, that was just 9 percent of the bootlegging entry. Sometimes risky Wikipedia claims the British government had “revenue cutters” in place to stop smugglers as early as the 1500s, even if the perpetrators weren’t called bootleggers then. When asked what is the origin of the word bootleg, Answers.com claimed it was “from the old west when cowboys used to store knives, flasks or any kind of contraband in their tall boots. First recorded usage in 1889 in Omaha, Neb.” The web version of New World Encyclopedia read “bootlegging is an informal term for the smuggling, sale, or transport of illicit goods. The term originally referred to the illegal transport and sale of alcohol. During Prohibition (1920-33) in the United States, many bootleggers brought alcohol from Canada and The Bahamas to the United States. In modern usage, ‘bootleg’ is often used to describe an unauthorized audio or video recording, often of a concert, distributed without the artist’s consent. Such illicit activities form a black market, and as

such operate outside the accepted norms of lawful society. … The term ‘bootlegging’ first came into use during Prohibition in the United States, and referred to the black market illegal transport and sale of alcohol. Those wishing to illegally transport alcohol would OPINION sometimes hide flasks of liquor in the shanks of a boot.” Tom The American Public UniverBlount sity website called bootlegging ■■■ a slang term to describe smuggling “Most commonly, the word refers to the illegal sale of alcoholic beverages on which excise taxes have not been paid. It is said that the term comes from how the alcohol (or ‘booze’ as it is commonly called) was hid in flasks on the legs of sellers, above or under the boot. The term is sometimes mistakenly used to refer to the production of untaxed alcoholic products; however, that is ‘moonshining,’ not bootlegging. Most bootleg liquor is not ‘homemade’ by a moonshiner but, instead, bottled by professional distillers.” Ask Yahoo claims “a bootleg refers to the long leather boots worn by cowboys in the Old West. They were used to store all manner of illicit goods, including an extra gun, a bowie knife, or a flask of moonshine.” Pick your poison, Jim. During my years as a football quarterback, when one coach described me to a reporter as “he’s small (I weighed nearly 100 pounds less in my youth than I do now) but not very fast,” the bootleg was one of my favorite plays. After faking a handoff to another back, I would tuck the ball behind my thigh, shielding it from the defensive linemen and linebackers, and saunter either to the left or right until I got just outside the defensive end, then would run as fast as I could to achieve at least a short yardage gain and, sometimes, a touchdown. My theory was that the defense most often figured no one as slow as I appeared to be would attempt to run with the ball. Things usually went well until I used the trick one too many times and a linebacker twice my size picked up on my strategy and punished me. I learned a valuable lesson. Bootlegging gets you in a whole lot of trouble – when you get caught. That hasn’t kept me from wearing cowboy boots, however.

Congress, do your job on immigration High tea at high T noon

I

always look forward to summer vacation, but this year I returned from a few days off to find that the HPE Opinion page had been taken over by leftist propagandists. I think “propaganda” is a proper word to describe tactics that use false “facts” to support one’s position, whether it’s the result of an intention to deceive, or just simple ignorance. With the Left, it’s often difficult to make that distinction, but as I was reading my way through the pile of accumulated newspapers, the first ditty I noticed was an article offering tips to the Republican Party to help them in the coming elections. It warned the Grand Old Party about the dangers of getting too cozy with the “wild sides” of the Tea Party and its “reputation for being extremists.” You know about the Tea Party, don’t you? It’s that group of folks who get together with their families and dress up like characters from our colonial period, and make catchy cardboard signs and spout out dangerous ideas. Like quotes from our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, and ideas about individual freedom and liberty. Worthy of concern, for sure. Of course, it’s beside the point that the so-called Tea Party consists primarily of folks who are dissatisfied with the Republican (and Democrat) Party to OPINION begin with. Other helpful sugSteve gestions for the GOP Bryant recently included ■■■ advice to always ride on the fox’s nose if you should accept a ride across a stream from the furry little fellow, because that’s the only way to make sure you won’t get wet. And, if you’re opposition proposes to jump off the rotunda of the Capitol building, then go ahead and jump. Otherwise, you risk being labeled as the “party of no.” Or, is that the party of “know”? Because anyone who has watched the video of Nancy Pelosi stuttering through an explanation of why Democrats needed to pass the health care legislation before they read it, could reasonably conclude that such a preening ignoramus is the leader for the opposition party of “don’t know.” In another recent “party of don’t know” example, the writer claimed that conservatives “planned to eliminate Medicare and Social Security” and used the story about an impoverished senior citizen who was reduced to eating cat food for survival. Nice try, except conservatives merely want the opportunity to choose their own retirement investments, rather than be required to participate in the current folly that won’t even be able to pay the meager promised amounts, much less a living income. By the way, the story about eating cat food was originally used to make just that point, because the particular senior of interest was trying to survive on her monthly Social Security check. But, it wasn’t all bad news for conservatives. One Lefty told how to trick liberals into buying stuff they don’t want. Apparently, all we have to do is charge them double what something is worth and then they will buy it “on sale.” And, another writer claimed that since most Hollywood actors are liberal and belong to unions, then liberals are pro business. Well, that may be true since $12 to see a movie does seem like something that Obama should be controlling. But then the writer went on to admit that liberals are for equality, protection of individual rights, due process, inalienable rights, democracy and ... say, wait just a minute. You know, I’m still thinking as I write this because my deadline is nearing, but that first writer may have a point about those sneaky Tea Baggers, after all. I’ll get back to you. STEVE BRYANT lives in High Point and can be reached for comments or conversation at MISTERSTEVERINO@AOL.COM.

he rage over immigration has reached a level that would be absurd if it didn’t affect so many lives. Many are advocating the repeal of language in the 14th Amendment that would grant citizenship status to anyone born in America, asserting a “drop and leave” mentality growing among illegal immigrants and even a new cottage industry of “birth tourism.” Pregnant women come to this country, have their babies here – assuring them U.S. citizenship – then return to their homeland. This is the latest struggle over outdated and unenforceable immigration laws in America. The anger and problems have resulted in the state of Arizona passing tough new immigration laws and the U.S. Justice Department suing that state. We think the lawsuit is misguided. Justice should be suing our Congress for failure to do its job. Immigration is not and never has been a state matter. It has and should remain

a national jurisdictional issue. There is no question that undocumented immigrants are flooding MY SPIN into many states in this Tom country, Campbell North Caro■■■ lina included. They come to find work and employers are glad to receive hardworking, lower paid employees, but these undocumented visitors also present problems to local governments who must educate children, provide health care, jail space and other government services. There is evidence that immigrants have more vehicular accidents and a greater incidence of driving while under the influence. Yes, they pay taxes, but many demand and receive wage payments in cash so as not to pay income taxes. To his credit, President Bush tried to broker an agreement that would allow

immigrants to come here, get green cards and move toward citizenship, but he couldn’t find enough support in his own party to pass this agreement. Since that time, the problems have exacerbated. North Carolina has its share of illegal immigrants. At one time that number was pegged at 350,000 but some think it may have shrunk by as many as 100,000 in recent months because of the decline in our economy. Most agree that when the jobs return, so will the workers. This isn’t an insolvable problem. Let’s stop talking about trying to hire thousands of guards to patrol our thousands of miles of borders. That’s not a practical solution. Our nation could solve this tomorrow morning. All we have to do is pass a law saying that any business caught with undocumented immigrants will pay a heavy fine per incident. When the companies stop hiring, the immigration flow will slow to a trickle. Businesses don’t like this solution and neither should

we. Who would maintain our lawns, construct our buildings, clean our houses or provide any of the many jobs these immigrants are willing to perform? There must be better solutions. Every congressional representative in this state is up for re-election in November. Instead of demanding pledges not to raise taxes, perhaps we should ask for a pledge that they will pass immigration reforms in the next session of Congress. This one action could end a nagging national and local issue, could heal the anger among our own citizens and chart a future course for how we will treat those who come into our country looking for a better life. It is the humane and sensible course to take. Congress, do your job.

A captial decision Will America continue to accept death as punishment for crime? BY THOMAS GOODING

T

he foundation of the United States was built upon the promise of justice for all, a promise that has engraved itself into every aspect of American history, a promise that has inspired an unprecedented sense of hope and pride, a promise that has set our nation apart from the rest of the world. A promise that has not been kept. In 1980, a 16-year-old girl disappeared before a high school volleyball match in Texas. Custodian Clarence Brandley discovered her body in the auditorium loft. After investigation, Brandley was arrested and convicted for the murder. In 1977, two Chicago men were killed during a hot dog stand robbery. Perry Cobb and Darby Tillis were convicted for the murders. In 1976, Alabama resident Bo Cochran was arrested for the murder of a grocery store manager. Four trials later, he was convicted. Each of the men was sentenced to death. Each of the men was innocent. Justice. Perhaps it is best illustrated by the beautiful statue atop Williamson County Courthouse in Texas, the state claiming 34 percent of all executions in the nation. The statue depicts Lady Justice, the epitome of what this nation stands for or, perhaps, what this nation has failed to stand for. Lady Justice may represent impartiality. She may symbolize equality. She may embody vindication. But symbols and images are vain illustrations, if the messages they portray are not put into action. It’s probably very difficult for Lady Justice to hold the scales steady with a sword in one hand and a blindfold over her eyes. Perhaps Lady Justice prevailed for the four men mentioned above. According to Witness to Innocence, they were eventually released from death row.

GUEST COLUMN

---

They were among 138 death row prisoners, including seven from North Carolina, who have been exonerated since 1973, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. On average, these men and women endured 9.8 years in prison for crimes they did not commit. In 1997, Illinois outlawed executions altogether after DNA testing revealed that 52 percent of the death row inmates were innocent. But how could our judicial system, one of the finest in the world, allow such a debacle? How could so many innocent lives be mistaken for guilty ones? Among the primary causes of wrongful conviction are inadequate legal representation, police and prosecutorial misconduct, perjured or mistaken eyewitness testimony, racial prejudice and suppression of mitigating evidence. Yet despite the innumerable possibilities of mistakes, the death penalty remains active. Why? Perhaps, the most common justification is that it acts as a deterrent to murder; however, a survey of past and current presidents of the nation’s highest criminological societies reveals that 88 percent do not believe capital punishment deters murder. In fact, the homicide rate in states that use the death penalty is nearly double the rate in states that do not. To put it into a global perspective, since executions

were stopped in Canada, the homicide rate has been gradually decreasing. Many other countries have witnessed similar trends. Others argue that alternate sentences, such as life imprisonment, are too expensive; however, numerous studies suggest otherwise. In North Carolina, for example, a Duke University study discovered capital punishment costs $2.16 million more, per execution, than the cost of life imprisonment. Eliminating capital punishment could save North Carolina taxpayers $11 million annually. “No legal system is perfect. Human beings make mistakes,” wrote Joseph Nadeau, former New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice. “That is one reason we accept the notion that occasionally the guilty will go free and the innocent will be convicted. But I do not believe anyone accepts the notion that it is all right for a person to be wrongfully executed. So with the most respected judicial system in the world, how can we willingly embrace a sentence which cannot be reversed after it is imposed; and how can we continue to believe that it is morally acceptable for the state to take a human life?” We live in one of the most advanced countries in the world, a superpower among nations. But this antiquated, ineffective form of so-called justice is a burden, hampering our way into the future. It’s time we lay that burden aside and turn to a more efficient and, most importantly, more humane form of justice. So, back to that statue on the Williamson County Courthouse. She holds the fate of our future in her hands. But it all comes down to the choice we make. Justice. Will it be the sword or the scales? THOMAS GOODING is a rising junior at High Point Central High School. He will begin writing as a regular Teen View columnist next month.

What happened to manifest destiny?

I

f we fast-forward a couple of millennia or so to the birth of the American nation, we once again see the influence of Christ as a central tenet in the political equation. Many of the early European settlers in this land were willing to uproot themselves from their homes in hope of finding a place in which they could practice their religion without interference from the government . In 16th-century Europe, the Church had become wealthy and corrupt, and was in bed with the monar-

chies in wielding political power. Established religion had ceased to be a source of liberty and was used to OPINION enslave the masses. Armstrong Thus, in Williams seeking to remove religion from politics, the early colonists were not forsaking their faith, but in fact reaffirming it. And, in fact, freedom of religion is the

----

well from which all of the other freedoms we enjoy in this country spring. Furthermore, it was Christ’s example which inspired the great acts of courage in the American Revolution. The writings of Thomas Paine and others look to God-given virtue as the qualification for selecting a leader, and rejected of the idea of divine right of kings as a self-serving fallacy. Hereditary succession was viewed by colonists as a sure sign of corruption. The Boston Tea Party, in which colonists dumped the

usuriously taxed products of Britain into the Boston Harbor, was an act of defiance inspired by Christ’s repudiation of the money-changers. Many of America’s founders derived their national zeal from a sense of manifest destiny: a belief that God had given them a mission to govern this land in order to spread democracy.

NC scientists document oil-free coast’s condition OCEAN ISLE BEACH (AP) – Scientists are collecting samples of water, sand, fish and shellfish to show what the North Carolina coast looks like without the taint of oil or other pollutants. Scientists for the state and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington are working to document what lives in and around the unspoiled surf, preparing for a day when the samples may be needed to show the condition of the ecosystem before it was sullied, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday. “Having that data in the bank,� North Carolina Sea Grant executive director Michael Voiland said, “is not a bad thing.� Sea Grant provided $6,000 for the scientific snapshots of shore conditions at six beaches from Ocean Isle north to

Hatteras. Gov. Beverly Perdue last week signed into law a bill that removes limits of responsibility for an offshore oil spill. Perdue previously directed state officials to update the state’s oil spill contingency plan to prepare for the unlikely event that oil from BP’s well in the Gulf of Mexico fouled North Carolina waters. In June and July, the state gathered extensive samples of sea life from 34 spots up and down the coast. Oysters, shrimp, crabs and a wide variety of fish were collected to create a snapshot of an oil-free environment. On Wednesday, about a dozen researchers gathered samples at Ocean Isle Beach. Some walked a 50-meter-long seine net into chest-high water, then slowly returned to the beach with scores of Florida pompano, striped mullet and gulf

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Not child’s play New ID theft targets kids’ Social Security numbers KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The latest form of identity theft doesn’t depend on stealing your Social Security number. Now thieves are targeting your kid’s number long before the little one even has a bank account. Hundreds of online businesses are using computers to find dormant Social Security numbers – usually those assigned to children who don’t use them – then selling those numbers under another name to help people establish phony credit and run up huge debts they will never pay off. Authorities say the scheme could pose a new threat to the nation’s credit system. Because the numbers exist in a legal gray area, federal investigators have not figured out a way to prosecute the people involved. “If people are obtaining enough credit by fraud,

we’re back to another financial collapse,” said Linda Marshall, an assistant U.S. attorney in Kansas City. “We tend to talk about it as the next wave.” The sellers get around the law by not referring to Social Security numbers. Instead, just as someone might pay for an escort service instead of a prostitute, they refer to CPNs – for credit profile, credit protection or credit privacy numbers. Julia Jensen, an FBI agent in Kansas City, discovered the scheme while investigating a mortgagefraud case. She has given presentations to lenders across the Kansas City area to show them how easy it is to create a false credit score using these numbers. “The back door is wide open,” she said. “We’re trying to get lenders to understand the risks.”

It’s not clear how widespread the fraud is, mostly because the scheme is difficult to detect and practiced by fly-by-night businesses. But the deception is emerging as millions of Americans watch their credit scores sink to new lows. Figures from April show that 25.5 percent of consumers – nearly 43.4 million people – now have a credit score of 599 or below, marking them as poor risks for lenders. They will have trouble getting credit cards, auto loans or mortgages under the tighter lending standards banks now use. The scheme works like this: Online companies use computers and publicly available information to find random Social Security numbers. The numbers are run through public databases to determine whether anyone is using them to obtain credit. If not, they are offered for sale for a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Because the numbers often come from young children who have no money of their own, they carry

no spending history and offer a chance to open a new, unblemished line of credit. People who buy the numbers can then quickly build their credit rating in a process called “piggybacking,” which involves linking to someone else’s credit file. Many of the business selling the numbers promise to raise customers’ credit scores to 700 or 800 within six months. If they default on their payments, and the credit is withdrawn, the same people can simply buy another number and start the process again, causing a steep spiral of debt that could conceivably go on for years before creditors discover the fraud. Jensen compared the businesses that sell the numbers to drug dealers. “There’s good stuff and bad stuff,” she said. “Bad stuff is a dead person’s Social Security number. High-quality is buying a number the service has checked to make sure no one else is using it.” Credit bureaus can

quickly identify applications that use numbers taken from dead people by consulting the Social Security Administration’s death index. Social Security numbers follow a logical pattern that includes a person’s age and where he or she lived when the number was issued. Because the system is somewhat predictable, sellers can make educated guesses and find unused numbers using trial and error. A “clean” CPN is a number that has been validated as an active Social Security number and is not on file with the credit bureaus. The most likely source of such numbers are children and longtime prison inmates, experts said. Robert Damosi, an analyst with Javelin Strategy & Research, said the crime can come back to hurt children when they get older and seek credit for the first time, only to discover their Social Security number has been used by someone else.

Lights, camera, action! Couple help many relive special memories BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT - From weddings to graduations, if you’ve been to a special event in High Point, Dennis and Linda Thompson have probably been there as well. But you may not have noticed them standing behind the camera equipment that they carry to each function. “The bulk of what we do is weddings, but we’ve done other things,” said Dennis Thompson, owner of the High Point-based Treasured Images Video. “We’ve done some promotional work for churches, too.” The couple run the business full time and capture on film special moments between families and friends. But the two had to go through a period of trials and uncertainty before they discovered they could be a part of special occasions as a full-time job. Dennis worked as an industrial furniture engineer in High Point when the city’s furniture manufacturing industry was in its heyday. But in 1998, he said he was laid off from his 26-year career. Over the years, he dabbled in video production. It was a field that interested him as a hobby, but nothing more until he was laid off.

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Dennis and Linda Thompson document life through their business, Treasured Images Video Productions. “It just developed,” he said about the hobby. “I had an interest in doing videos for quite some time. I was asked to shoot a wedding for a family member, and that’s when I started doing more editing and getting the equipment. The more I did, the more I liked it.” He stuck with the hobby after he lost his job and learned to use it as an extra source of income. He continued to look for a full-time job in the engineering industry, but his search often produced unwanted results. “We were going to have to move to stay in my profession,” he said. “My wife has family here, and I have family an hour away. We just didn’t want to do that.” Until 2004, he said he performed consulting work and tried various occupations, but nothing stuck. It was a long, uncertain period of time,

but he finally arrived at the conclusion that his calling had been right in front of his face the entire time — literally. “I had some friends and relatives who told me that using my cameras and doing video would make a good business,” he said. “I’ve always been interested in technology, so it fit.” He launched the company and has never returned to the engineering industry, but he won’t deny that video production also has been affected by changing economic conditions. “Wedding video has fallen off a lot due to the economy,” he said. “Sometimes we are at the end of the food chain for brides.” Editing the footage isn’t always a fun task either, and it can take up to 40 hours per video, he said. “We shoot from six to eight hours of raw foot-

BALANCING THE BOOKS

----

The fall semester is around the corner, meaning college students will soon be shelling out big money for textbooks. The College Board estimates students spend around $1,000 on textbooks and supplies. But a new law that requires greater price disclosures should make managing costs a bit easier. The law, which took effect July 1, was passed as part of the Higher Education Opportunity Act in 2008. Colleges now need to list the required textbooks and their prices for each course in course catalogs. The idea is to give an idea of how much students will need to spend on books before they sign up. The advance information also gives students time to shop for affordable options. Previously, students often didn’t learn which books they’d need until the first day of class. The new law also requires publishers to give professors information about prices and any revised editions. The idea is to give professors a chance to select more affordable options. Publishers sometimes withheld this information in the past. Publishers will no longer be allowed to package textbooks with workbooks or CDs to jack up prices. Such items will have to be sold separately. To learn more, go to www.studentpirgs. org/textbooks/heoa – The Associated Press

Leap’s Cricket hops on to national stage NEW YORK (AP) – Leap Wireless International Inc. is taking its Cricket prepaid cellular service from a regional to a national player through a deal with Sprint Nextel Corp. Leap has been selling Cricket where it has its own network, in cities including Houston, Cincinnati, Savannah, Ga., and Chattanooga, Tenn. It also has roaming agreements with other carriers, so subscribers could use their phones outside Leap’s network. In a new strategy announced Tuesday, Leap will now sell phones and service outside its network through big-box retailers. Sprint will provide service

where Leap doesn’t have it. Investors reacted skeptically to the news, sending Leap’s shares down $1.64, or 14 percent, to close Wednesday at $9.92, the lowest since the San Diego-based company emerged from bankruptcy protection in 2004. Leap sells prepaid service with unlimited calls and no contracts, a product it and competitor MetroPCS Communications Inc. were almost alone to offer at a competitive price until last year, when Sprint jumped into the market with a $50-per-month offer. Since then, the prepaid market has grown increasingly competitive, and

it now attracts more new subscribers than traditional, contract-based plans. Low-income households are the main target for the services, particularly the ones from Leap and MetroPCS. Sanford Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett said the new strategy was prompted by “startlingly bad� results for the second quarter, also reported Tuesday. Leap said it lost 112,000 subscribers after many years of steady gains. It ended the quarter with 5.3 million customers. Leap posted a net loss of $19.3 million, or 24 cents per share, on $633.5 million in revenue.

Cigna profit falls 32 percent INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – A big hit from a discontinued business helped drop net income 32 percent for managed care company Cigna Corp. However, the Philadelphia insurer lifted its full-year earnings outlook Thursday after seeing sizeable gains in business it still sells, and its stock rose briskly. Cigna is the last of the large health insurers to report second-quarter earnings Thursday. Competitors like UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Aetna Inc.

reported healthy profit increases that beat Wall Street expectations. Analysts applauded Cigna’s performance too, but the insurer has a broader product portfolio than some of its competitors, so its performance can be affected by factors they don’t face. It said interest rate movements led to a loss of 37 cents per share in the quarter from its guaranteed minimum income benefits business. Cigna discontinued that segment and its variable

annuity death benefits in 2000 and seeks no new business for them. But they still can hurt Cigna’s performance when the market turns bad and its liabilities toward them increase. Overall, Cigna earned $294 million, or $1.06 per share, in the three months that ended June 30. That’s down from the $435 million, or $1.58 per share, in net income last year. Excluding one-time items, Cigna earned $1.38 per share. Revenue rose 19 percent to $5.35 billion.

The company is renaming itself Cricket in the next few months. The Wall Street Journal reported in February that Leap was trying to find a buyer for the company. There has long been talk of a tie-up between Leap and MetroPCS Communications, which has a similar strategy and more subscribers. Leap was spun off from wireless technology developer Qualcomm Inc. in 1998.

In the same quarter last year, it lost $61.2 million, or 89 cents per share, on $597.4 million in revenue. Moffett said he was skeptical about the new strategy, but that abandoning Leap’s regional and low-income focus in favor of “being all things to all people� might help it improve results. Sprint spokeswoman Jayne Wallace said that while the deal with Leap means more competition for Sprint’s Boost and Virgin Mobile prepaid services, Sprint would rather gain Leap’s business than see it go to another carrier. Leap also revamped its pric-

Find the bridge to your new career BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

After age 40, you’ll face the greatest challenge of your career if you can’t continue in the same path. Lack of imagination gets in the way almost every time as you detail accomplishment after accomplishment on your resume. You think you’re doing the right thing, but you haven’t found a connection between your old and new career and haven’t imagined a new career. What concept is greater than the sum of its parts? The problem isn’t your resume or ageism. It’s that you haven’t conceptualized where you’re going. Even worse, you secretly hope that an employer will recognize how the new you relates to the old. View yourself differently before you research your direction. Follow that with education or training if you need it. Then, increase your competitiveness by updating your marketing skills so you stand out. Get yourself to the starting gate by shedding any labels under which you operate or view yourself. This idea, offered by Nick Kolesnikoff of Empowerment Coach, LLC, in Marstons Mills, Mass., means throwing off the sometimes comfortable shackles of your old career. Resting on familiar occupations, industries and titles will immobilize you

SPECIAL | HPE

When considering a new career after age 40, you might well be afraid of the unknown or unfamiliar. in your past, not propel you forward. Dig. Define the core of your old and new career, which you can’t do with these artificial boundaries. Rather than thinking about “reinventing” yourself, take a retrospective inventory of “the things that you keep coming back to,” suggests Lisa DeAngelis of Boston’s Leading with Values. What have you done over and over? What comments have people made about you? For example, one

employer told a man in his early 20s that he smiled only one time, when they discussed the outdoors. Getting to specifics like this is the most important part of your research, because it assures you of having something from your core to take to your future. It sets you up for long-term job satisfaction and professional fulfillment. Once you begin to “have a sense of what you might like to do,” DeAngelis points out, “you don’t need to jump in

with both feet. Look for people who do similar types of work. Find out how they got into it, what they enjoy about it and what advice they have.” She explains that obtaining this information helps trigger ideas about how to develop a career and the best path to it. It also helps if you like the people. If you don’t, start over. Lisa Wexler, a former attorney, would concur with DeAngelis. By speaking with others, she says that you’ll be able

to decide whether “you need to (seek) formal education in your next field, whether it be a vocational school or continuing ed.” She attended the Connecticut School of Broadcasting to solidify her careerchange at 45 and is now the award-winning show host of “The Lisa Wexler Show” on WSTC and WNLK in Norwalk, Conn. If you’ve been a lifelong learner, you might find out-ofthe-box routes to the education you need, such as enlisting the interest of a leader in your new field who might serve informally as an advisor or reading avidly and listening to tapes about your new field. At times throughout this process, you might well be afraid of the unknown or unfamiliar. In addition, you’ll experience stages of anger and depression. Find a photo or article about someone you admire who’s done what you’re doing and put it where you’ll see it at least once a day. Reach forward to that happiness. When you finally accept your market shift, you’ll grieve. Allow yourself to do it. Then, research the market, update your job-hunting skills and make the change. DR. MILDRED L.

Weaver lands in top 20 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GORDONSVILLE, Va. – Tadd Fujikawa blistered the field at the eGolf Professional Tour Championship, but Drew Weaver was among the 20 golfers leaving Spring Creek Golf Club with a nice consolation prize. Weaver enjoyed his third strong round of the tournament Saturday, shooting a 5-under-par 67 to finish at 14-under 274 for the

tournament and in sixth place. His winnings of $4,250 left him 14th on the eGolf money list at $42,361, up from 18th entering the tournament and inside Weaver the top 20. Those golfers will have their PGA Tour Q-School entry fees paid for this year by the eGolf Tour. Weaver shot a 75 in the second

round to put his chances of winning the championship on ice. But the High Point native shot a 66 in the third round and closed Saturday with six birdies and a bogey. Thomasville’s Chad Wilfong carded a final-round 72 and finished at 10-under 278. He won $2,650 and moved up to 49th on the money list at $19,320. Fujikawa ended with a remarkable 25-under total to win the $25,000 first-place check. His

rounds of 65, 64, 66 and 68 gave him a nine-shot win over Matt Hendrix. Three golfers were 15-under to land just ahead of Weaver. Jason Kokrak capped the regular-season money list with $101,058, playing in just eight events. Weaver will compete in the PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club from Aug. 19-22. The eGolf Tour will resume with four events in September and October.

Deacs fighting for their jobs A

t least through preseason practice, the depth chart at Wake Forest could be as flexible as the shifting sands of the desert. Even though Demon Deacon coach Jim Grobe has a good idea of who a number of his starters should be when the season starts Sept. 2 against Presbyterian, his message is clear: Don’t take anything for granted. Grobe said he did last year, assuming that some of his older players would perform with the same enthusiasm as seniors Aaron Curry and Alphonso Smith did in leading Wake to a third straight bowl in 2008. It is an assumption that he is not making this year, trying to avoid a repeat of the Deacons’ 5-7 record that denied a fourth straight bowl trip. “Those guys practiced every day like it was their first practice and they were fired up,” Grobe said Saturday at Wake Forest’s media day. “Last year, we took the same approach (with the veterans). We allowed too many of the older guys to be the bell cows. Sometimes, we should have taken a second look at some people. We didn’t give some of the younger guys a chance that we should have.” Some will get it this year. Grobe, who is entering his 10th season leading the Deacons, declares that the depth chart could change daily as he searches for ways to make players avoid falling into a rut of complacency. “We want players to realize they could lose a starting job in one practice,” Grobe said. “You come out and have a bad practice, are not consistent and not going hard every day, you could come in the next day and look on the board and see you have dropped a spot or two.” For his part, Grobe admits that he assumed too much. “You take for granted guys are going to give you their best,” Grobe said. “But sometimes their vision of where they can go and our vision of where they should go are two different things. They are going to do what they are comfortable with, and we’ve got to push them out of their comfort zone. We didn’t do that last year, but we will do

that this year.” To do that, the coaches themselves will have to avoid being complacent. “We’re going to be better as SPORTS coaches with our energy and work Greer ethic,” Grobe Smith said. “We’re not ■■■ going to take lazy steps. Every play we run, make a coaching point of it. We want to get a quality rep every time we snap the ball. If we don’t get a quality rep, they are going to know it.” They also know that being one of 15 returning starters doesn’t automatically assure a first-team spot. “The thing they have to understand is we don’t care who plays. ... Players have to understand, we don’t play favorites, we don’t put you on the field because you have a nice smile. ... I think our players have to get back to the idea that it is a privilege to have a chance to do this and not a right to do it.” In the Deacons’ first and second practices Thursday and Friday – both without pads and helmets – Grobe praised the attitude even though the play was more sloppy on Friday. “I’m not talking about being rah-rah,” Grobe said. “We’ve got to feel like you’ve got some enthusiasm and like what you do. If you aren’t enjoying what you do, then you can’t play to the best of your ability, and our job is make you play to the best of your ability.” Trying to get to another bowl is one reason for the renewed enthusiasm. The competition is another. “We’d been to three straight bowl games and we lost that streak,” redshirt junior linebacker Hunter Haynes said. “A lot of us came together and said that’s not us. The attitude and enthusiasm and love for the game is going to take us a long way. There is a lot of competition everywhere. That helps with enthusiasm. We’re trying to come together to get back to that bowl game.” For now, Grobe likes the attitude. He’ll like it more if he can convert it into more wins than losses. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Tom Glavine rarely struggled to find the right words as a player. It happened Friday night, if only for a moment. It came shortly after the Atlanta Braves honored Glavine by retiring his uniform number before their game against the San Francisco Giants. “For lack of a better word, it’s been a really cool day,” he said after several seconds in thought during the third inning. Glavine’s No. 47 was placed beside former teammate Greg Maddux’s No. 31 on the Turner Field facade in left field during a 15-minute pregame ceremony. Maddux’s number was retired last year.

Haynesworth finally passes Redskins conditioning test ASHBURN, Va. (AP) – After passing the Washington Redskins’ conditioning test, Albert Haynesworth was in no shape to practice. Haynesworth finally conquered the 300-yard shuttle runs Saturday morning and was allowed to put on the pads for the first time at training camp, ending a will-he-or-won’the spectacle that lasted a week and a half, made him the butt of jokes nationwide and overshadowed everything else at Redskins Park. Coach Mike Shanahan had said Haynesworth could not practice until passing the test, and the

showdown was seen as a statement of a new coach’s uncompromising authority that wouldn’t bend even for a two-time All-Pro with a $100 million contract. “He probably doesn’t like me very much right now,” Shanahan said, “but I’m not here to be liked. I’m here to get him to play.” Merely passing the test took enough of a toll to keep Haynesworth from getting through a full practice. After doing some defense drills, he had a huge wrap put on his persistently sore left knee midway through the session.

Toronto Blue Jays’ J.P. Arencibia reacts after getting a shaving cream pie in the face from teammates while giving an interview after the Jays’ 17-11 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Toronto on Saturday. Arencibia, who made his Major League debut, hit two home runs in the game.

Blue Jays bash eight home runs, blast Rays 17-11 TORONTO – A group of fans wearing blue wigs decided against K signs for each home strikeout at Rogers Centre, opting for HR placards for each Toronto drive instead. They got plenty of work Saturday. The Blue Jays became the first team to hit eight homers in a game in three years, getting two apiece from Aaron Hill and J.P. Arencibia in a 17-11 victory over the slumping Tampa Bay Rays. “I’ve never seen anything like it for a team that I’ve played for or against,� said Jose Bautista, who hit his major league-best 34th. “It was just one of those days, the balls kept going out of the yard.� Adam Lind, Edwin Encarnacion and Lyle Overbay also connected for the Blue Jays, who lead the majors with 175 homers. “I’ve played a lot of games and I imagine I could remember if that ever happened, but no,� Lind said. It was the most homers in a single game for the Blue Jays since they hit a major league-record 10 against Baltimore on Sept. 14, 1987. Toronto scored in each of the first seven innings and set season highs in runs and hits (20). “You think they’re going to get a couple during the course of every game, that’s just how they’re built,� Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “I guess they made up for not getting any (in Friday’s 2-1 win).� The New York Yankees were the last team to hit at least eight homers in a single game, according to STATS LLC, going deep eight times in a 16-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on July 31, 2007, at Yankee Stadium.

The eight homers are the most allowed in a game by the Rays, whose losing streak reached a season-high four. Only the Yankees and San Diego have yet to lose four straight this season. “A lot of teams would have just packed it in a lot sooner,� Maddon said. “We did not.� Called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Arencibia homered on the first pitch of his first at-bat, a two-run shot to left in the second. He added another firstpitch homer in the sixth, a solo drive to right off Dale Thayer, and finished with four hits. Arencibia became the first Blue Jays player to homer in his first career at-bat since Junior Felix on May 4, 1989, against the California Angels. Rays right-hander James Shields (10-10) became just the eighth pitcher in the modern era to surrender six homers in a single game, and the first since Texas’ R.A. Dickey gave up six against Detroit on April 6, 2006.

YANKEES 5, RED SOX 2 NEW YORK – CC Sabathia outpitched John Lackey, Ramiro Pena drove in two runs while subbing for injured Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees stopped their mini-slide by beating the Boston Red Sox 5-2 on Saturday. Rodriguez was hit in the lower left leg by Lance Berkman’s sharp grounder during batting practice, and medical personnel ran onto the field to check him. X-rays were negative and there was no indication when the All-Star third baseman would return to the lineup. Robinson Cano hit a go-ahead single in the fifth inning for the Yankees, who had kept the best record in the majors despite losing

four of their previous five games. Sabathia (14-5) shook off an early homer by Victor Martinez and matched Tampa Bay’s David Price for the AL wins lead. Pitching two days after the birth of his fourth child – another CC, his new son’s name is Carter Charles – Sabathia earned his 150th career victory. He pitched six-hit ball for eight innings and improved to 130 in 18 starts at Yankee Stadium since the 2009 All-Star break.

ATHLETICS 6, RANGERS 2 OAKLAND, Calif. – Coco Crisp homered, hit two sacrifice flies and scored twice to back 10-game winner Gio Gonzalez, and the Oakland Athletics beat the first-place Texas Rangers 6-2 on Saturday. Mark Ellis also had a sacrifice fly as Oakland quickly jumped on former A’s ace Rich Harden. The A’s snapped Texas’ three-game winning streak and pulled within 81⠄2 games of the Rangers in the AL West race. The A’s won for the ninth time in their last 10 day games and are a majors-best 26-11 in the afternoon. This was originally scheduled as a night game but was changed for TV.

REDS 4, CUBS 3 CHICAGO – Drew Stubbs hurt the Chicago Cubs again, hitting a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning and driving in a pair of runs to lead the surging Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory Saturday. Stubbs doubled and scored in the third, started the eighth with his 14th homer and singled in a run in the ninth. The speedy center fielder snapped out of a 1-for-37 funk after being benched for five games. He is batting .318 with five homers against the Cubs this season.

O’Hair, Palmer share lead at Firestone THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AKRON, Ohio – Sean O’Hair and Ryan Palmer were tied for the lead in the Bridgestone Invitational. On a day when 35 players shot in the 60s – a list that did not include seventime Firestone winner Tiger Woods – Palmer birdied three of his last five holes for a 63 and was joined atop the leaderboard when O’Hair finished with a 64. They were at 9-under 201, one shot ahead of Matt Kuchar, who had a 66. Phil Mickelson, who started the round one shot out of the lead as he closes in on No. 1 in the world ranking, stumbled to a 71 but still remained four shots out of the lead. Woods, meanwhile, finished his 75 about two hours before the leaders teed off. He was 20 shots behind.

CEJKA LEADS BY TWO VERONA, N.Y. – Alex Cejka shot a 5under 67 to move to 15 under and take a two-stroke lead after the third round at the Turning Stone Resort Championship. Chris Couch tied the course record with a 63 and was alone in second place

at 13 under. Billy Mayfair birdied six holes on the front nine and was in third place at 12 under after a 66. Charles Warren, Bill Lunde, Robert Garrigus and Chris Tidland were tied for fourth place at 11 under. Warren recorded the first 63 of the day after he had seven birdies and eagled the par-5 12th hole in a bogey-free round. Peter Lonard set the course record in the final round last year.

FROST, CALCAVECCIA SHOW WAY BLAINE, Minn. – David Frost shot a 6-under 66 and was tied with Mark Calcavecchia for the lead after two rounds of the 3M Championship. John Cook (67), Kirk Hanefeld (64) and David Peoples (66) were two shots back. In his fifth tour event since turning 50 on June 12, Calcavecchia started the day one shot behind Tommy Armour III, but birdied six of his first 10 holes to open up a three-shot lead. Calcavecchia’s lead shrunk to one before back-to-back birdies on the 15th and 16th. But he had bogeys at No. 17 and another at the par-5 18th, which ranked as the day’s second-easiest hole, to finish with a 66.

Atlanta’s Hudson dominates Giants ATLANTA (AP) – Tim Hudson threw eight dominant innings, Troy Glaus hit a tworun single in Atlanta’s three-run fourth and the Braves beat the San Francisco Giants 3-0 on Saturday night. Billy Wagner, who blew a save opportunity in Atlanta’s 3-2, 11-inning loss to the Giants on Friday night, finished for his 27th save in 33 chances, striking out the side. Hudson (13-5) allowed three hits, walked one and struck out six, improving to 4-0 with a sparkling 0.63 ERA in his last four starts. He is 3-0 with a 2.84 ERA in his last five starts against the Giants, dating to 2006. The NL East-leading Braves have won three of four to improve to 3815 at home, best in the majors.

San Francisco, which has dropped three of four, began the night one behind first-place San Diego in the NL West. The Braves got all the runs they would need in the fourth against Matt Cain (9-9), who was 30 with 1.52 ERA in his previous four starts. Glaus’ two-out hit with the bases loaded drove in Jason Heyward and Chipper Jones. Rick Ankiel followed with an RBI double. Hudson got into a bit of a trouble in the seventh when he walked Aubrey Huff and hit Buster Posey with a pitch with two out. But he responded by getting Juan Uribe to bounce into a fielder’s choice. Hudson got pinch-hitter Travis Ishikawa to ground out with a runner on third to end the eighth.

Edwards takes Cup pole at The Glen

AP

Marcos Ambrose celebrates after winning the NASCAR Nationwide Series Zippo 200 at The Glen in Watkins Glen, N.Y., on Saturday.

Ambrose cruises to win Zippo 200 at The Glen WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) – Sonoma just faded a little bit from the psyche of Marcos Ambrose. Starting from the pole for the first time at Watkins Glen International, Ambrose dominated the Nationwide Zippo 200 on Saturday and won the race for the third straight time. He led 60 of 82 laps, had a perfect driver rating of 150, and beat Joey Logano by 2.8 seconds. “It’s been a roller-coaster ride for me,� said Ambrose, who announced less than two weeks ago that he was leaving JTGDaugherty racing at the end of the season. “We’ve been through so much together. The last three weeks have been challenging. My future is uncertain. It just feels really satisfying to think that we’ve come this far and leave as good friends at the end of the season.� “This is probably better than the last one,� crew chief Frank Kerr added. “We’ve had such a bad year. Sonoma is a thorn in our side.� Ambrose was poised to capture his first Sprint Cup victory at Sonoma in June when things went awry. He stalled his No. 47 while leading under a late caution, was unable to keep pace, had to restart seventh when he couldn’t get it refired, and finished sixth. The memory is still there, but it’s fading. “This is the most satisfying win I’ve ever had,� Ambrose said. Ambrose quickly pulled away from Logano on the final restart with 15 laps remaining and coasted to the finish line after building a lead of nearly 4 seconds. “He’s the man. He’s pretty good here. I did the best I can,� Logano said after his best finish on a road course. “I’m happy with second. That’s the first time I said that. I learned a lot. We’re getting closer and closer.� Kevin Harvick somehow avoided a 10car wreck and overcame a dustup on the first lap and a speeding penalty on pit road to finish third. Points leader Brad Keselowski was fourth, followed by Kyle Busch, who was seeking his fourth straight win and 10th of the season. Ron Fellows, Nelson Piquet, Jacques Villeneuve, Steve Wallace and Michael McDowell rounded out the top 10. Carl

Edwards, second in points, finished 33rd after losing a cylinder and dropped 327 points behind Keselowski. Ambrose had won the previous two Nationwide races here but never had started from the pole. That changed on Saturday morning. He set a qualifying record with a lap of 122.410 mph to break the record of 121.999 mph set a year ago by Harvick. Ambrose led the first 18 laps, taking command at the start with Logano dogging him lap after lap. Ambrose opened a wide lead, staying out as the rest of the leaders pitted for the first time, but he lost time when Colin Braun spun in front of him on lap 19 and was second to Logano after pitting. There was a huge chain-reaction crash involving 10 cars coming out of the first turn on a restart after the first caution. Among those involved were Justin Allgaier, Trevor Bayne, and Justin Leffler, all in the top 10 in season points. Brendan Gaughan, Boris Said, Colin Braun, Tony Raines, Victor Gonzalez Jr., Alex Kennedy and Billy Johnson also were involved. Leffler, Allgaier and Johnson were evaluated at the infield care center and released as the race was stopped for 25 minutes. Leffler precipitated the crash, veering his No. 38 Toyota wide into the runoff area coming out of the first turn and clipping Braun’s left rear. “I’ll take the blame because I got wide,� Leffler said. “I was trying to ease back over and got hit in the right front. If you don’t give, you cause a multicar wreck. I’ll take the blame, but you’ve got to let somebody back in. It’s early in the race to get wiped out like that.� “I just saw the 38 get out of shape,� said Allgaier. “I knew it was probably going to be more than I wanted to see. It’s so tight there, you’re just kind of at the mercy of everybody else.� The carnage left the rear of Raines’ No. 34 Chevy atop the hood of Braun’s Ford and Allgaier’s front end crushed with the hood bent up over the windshield. Harvick somehow managed to avoid it.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) – A year ago, Carl Edwards started 33rd in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International and finished third. This time he’ll start at the front. Edwards turned a lap of 124.432 mph in 70.882 seconds on Saturday to easily outdistance Jamie McMurray’s lap of 123.814 mph in 71.236 seconds. It was just the fifth pole in 215 starts for Edwards, his first on a road course in Cup competition, and it was fast. Edwards was just a few ticks off Jeff Gordon’s 2003 track record of 124.58 mph in 70.7979 secs. “Unbelievable! I can’t tell you how much that helps our team,� Edwards said. “(Crew chief) Bob (Osborne) said P1. I thought he said 21. That’s a great lap. We’re just enjoying the wave we’re riding. We’re making a comeback.� And that should help team owner Jack Roush in his recovery from a plane crash 10 days ago. The 68-yearold Roush, who also received a boost last week with Greg Biffle’s win at Pocono, is at the Mayo Clinic and will remain there indefinitely to treat facial injuries. Edwards has put together four straight finishes of seventh or better, including a second at Chicagoland and a third a week ago at Pocono, to surge to 10th in the points standings with only five races remaining before the Chase for the Sprint Cup title. Only the top 12 drivers qualify for the Chase. “It feels good,� said Edwards, whose last pole was two years ago at Bristol. “You guys know how we’ve struggled. This last month we’ve been in going in the right direction. It means a lot to all the folks who stuck with us – Aflac, Ford. Nobody’s giving up. If I can just get a good start, keep our car up front, race in clean air, keep the fenders on it, I think the qualifying effort will pay off.� Juan Pablo Montoya will go off third, followed by AJ Allmendinger and Kurt Busch. Five-time Watkins Glen winner Tony Stewart, Biffle, Scott

Speed, Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch round out the top 10. Marcos Ambrose, who finished second to Stewart in last year’s race, will start 11th. Gordon, a four-time Watkins Glen Edwards winner, qualified 16th and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. was 41st. Greg Biffle was fastest in both of Friday’s practices. Coming off his win at Pocono, his first of the season, and sitting 11th in the standings, Biffle said he decided to look at the big picture. “I ran a bit conservative,� Biffle said. “Getting up to speed I noticed that the car was a little bit freer than what it was yesterday. I figured if I could back off just a little bit, run a good, solid lap rather than make a mistake, be in the ditch, and have to come from the back. I’m really thinking about the Chase right now.� The top four cars in the Hendrick Motorsports stable struggled in Friday’s two practices despite feedback from Gordon, who took part in a Goodyear tire test in June and thought he had brought some valuable data back to the shop. Only Johnson found enough speed to crack the top 10 in qualifying. “With the tire test that Jeff was a part of, it’s just kind of mind-boggling that we could have been that far off,� said Johnson, who notched the first road course victory of his career at Sonoma in June. “Making up ground, I hope we can make up enough before the race.� Gordon, winless at the storied track since 2001, qualified at 122.783 mph, a vast improvement from practice. “I felt some real positive things in the car,� said Gordon, who has made 602 straight Cup starts. “The car turned a little bit better than I was expecting. I saw some things that have some real potential. I’m very happy about that. It’s certainly a big gain from yesterday. I’m excited about that.�

Power captures IndyCar road pole LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) – Will Power hit the curb, felt his No. 12 Team Penske Honda slide into the wet morning grass and braced himself. This is the moment in the season when championships are lost, Power thought as he careened into a tire barrier, his car’s rear wing now a jumbled mess. Maybe some years. But not this season. Not for this driver. Not for this team. The Australian recovered from his stumble in practice to capture the pole for today’s IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio, turning in a lap time of 107.199 at the twisting 2.258-mile course. Power tied an IndyCar record with his seventh pole of the season, matching the mark set by teammate Helio Castroneves in 2007. Heady territory for IndyCar’s King of the Road, a driver who endured a horrific crash in Sonoma last year that left his back in tatters and his career in question. Now, with less than two months to go

in the season, the affable 29-year-old finds himself in firm command of the points race. He’ll take a 54-point lead over Dario Franchitti into the 85-lap event. Power The pole allowed Power to capture IndyCar’s first Road Course Championship. He’s not complaining about the honor, but for a driver who has dominated road races this year – he’s won four times on road or street courses and never finished lower than fourth – his eyes are on a decidedly bigger prize. “I’m just so focused on the overall championship, that’s all I care about this year,� he said. “I really want to win the whole thing.� To do it he’ll have to find a way to improve in the races that require him to just turn left instead of both left and right. Power has just one top-five finish on the ovals this season and there are still four ovals races left on the schedule.

Delhomme throws TD pass in Browns’ scrimmage

AP

The spotlight shined on the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2010 in Canton, Ohio. From left: Russ Grimm, Rickey Jackson, Dick LeBeau, Floyd Little, John Randle, Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith. The seven NFL greats were inducted Saturday night.

Dallas dominates Hall of Fame weekend CANTON, Ohio (AP) – How ’bout them Cowboys? With apologies to such NFL greats as Jerry Rice, John Randle and the rest of the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2010, this sure seems like America’s Team’s weekend. Not only was Emmitt Smith completing a Hall of Fame triple play Saturday for the “Triplets” by joining Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin in the shrine, but the Cowboys are playing in the preseason’s first game tonight. “It’s an honor to get a Cowboy, a former Cowboy, Emmitt Smith, all-time leading rusher of the NFL, to be going in while we’re out there playing,” said Cowboys linebacker Bradie James. “It’s just a great opportunity, and a great experience. It’s good that we have a Cowboy going in, to have this experience.” Even if it means a heavier workload. “Thanks Emmitt for allowing us to come an extra week early to training camp,” James said with a laugh. “But it’s all good. At least he’s getting in the Hall of Fame” Smith was scheduled to cap the proceed-

ings at Fawcett Stadium. Former Lions cornerback Dick LeBeau got the nod as leadoff hitter, perhaps because his current team – he’s the renowned defensive coordinator for the Steelers – bused in from training camp for the festivities. The 73-year-old LeBeau, the oldest coordinator in the league, was thrilled his players would be on hand. “I love what I do and I love the people that I do it with,” LeBeau said. “In order for me to coach, somebody has to want me to coach, and that’s what I have right now.” LeBeau was to be followed by ex-Vikings defensive tackle Randle; former Redskins “Hog” Russ Grimm; linebacker Rickey Jackson, the first New Orleans Saints player into the hall; all-time receiving leader Rice; exDenver Broncos running back Floyd Little; and Smith, the NFL’s career rushing leader. “Getting to help recognize him for our fans, I can count that on the neatest things that have happened to me,” said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, whom Smith chose as his presenter. “I can count it on one hand right there with the Super Bowls and with Michael about get-

ting a chance to be a part of that induction.” Dallas’ players were excited about being involved, too. “My family’s all from Texas, so they were all Cowboys fans,” cornerback Terence Newman said. “When we watched football, we watched the Cowboys. “I’m a Deion (Sanders) man myself, but I did wear No. 22 when I was growing up playing running back.” Team jerseys always are the fashion choice for the crowd at the inductions. Early Saturday, dozens of fans in Cowboys apparel already were on hand and, yes, the No. 22 was omnipresent. One youngster planning to be in the stadium in support of Grimm was his son, Cody, a rookie safety with the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris gave his player the day off from training camp to travel to Canton after telling Russ Grimm, the assistant head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, he would do so. No word if the Bucs would have a problem seeing Cody Grimm sporting a No. 68 Redskins jersey for a few hours.

Cowboys see familiar faces vs. Bengals CANTON, Ohio (AP) – Call them America’s Team’s expatriates. Terrell Owens, Pacman Jones and Tank Johnson are among the former Dallas Cowboys who now reside in Cincinnati. The Bengals and Cowboys will meet tonight in the Hall of Fame game, and while T.O. and the other veterans might not spend much time on the field, they will draw plenty of attention when they are in the lineup. Owens, of course, always gets the spotlight, whether he’s with the 49ers, Eagles, Cowboys, Bills or, now, the Bengals. “I’m a playmaker,” Owens said. “I know Michael Irvin has adopted that title, but that’s what

I do and have done throughout my career is make plays. The coaches know what I’m capable of once the ball is in my hands. They’re going to get all of Terrell on the field. “I’m glad to be with my new team and we’ll see where it takes us.” For now, it’s taken them to Canton’s Fawcett Field, where Owens will get some time with the regulars early in the first preseason game. He’s never caught passes from Carson Palmer against an opposing defense, and while it’s too soon to expect that connection to click precisely, it’s never to soon to begin the process. “I think the opportunity to

play against other people is always good,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. “I don’t know if it’ll affect Terrell and Carson as much since Terrell’s learning on the move. He’s a veteran player. There are things he has done that maybe we coach a little differently. The terminology may be different in some instances, but he’s basically carrying what he already knows.” What Owens also knows is that he belongs in the Hall of Fame, saying earlier this week all he lacks is the bust. Pacman Jones hardly is in that class. The defensive back was out of the NFL last season, none of the 32 teams willing to sign him

after his repeated off-field problems, including a run-in with a bodyguard that cost him his job in Dallas. The Bengals, known for giving second chances, twice worked out Jones before signing him in May. Sunday night, he returns to the NFL on national television – against the Cowboys. “Whoever it was it would have been special,” Jones said. “I haven’t played a real game in a whole season. “I have a lot of friends on the Cowboys. I talk to those guys all the time. It was no love lost when I left there. People have to make business decisions, and it is what it is. I’m happy to be a Bengal.”

CLEVELAND (AP) – Jake Delhomme threw a touchdown pass in his first appearance for his new team at Cleveland Browns Stadium and cornerback Brandon McDonald returned an interception for another score as the Brown team beat the White team, 14-6 Saturday in an intrasquad scrimmage. Delhomme, slated to be Cleveland’s starting quarterback, threw a 5-yard scoring pass to tight end Ben Watson in the fourth quarter for the Brown team. He completed 10-of-15 passes for 78 yards and no interceptions. McDonald, also playing for the Brown team, intercepted a pass from Colt McCoy in the second quarter and returned it 40 yards for the only TD of the first half. McCoy, drafted in the third round after a standout career at Texas, completed 7-of12 passes for 31 yards and threw two interceptions. His sideline pass to Syndric Steptoe in the second quarter was underthrown and picked off by McDonald, who weaved his way across the field and into the end zone. McCoy’s other interception came on a Hail Mary pass.

GIANTS’ BRADSHAW CHALLENGES FOR NO. 1 HALFBACK

---

ALBANY, N.J. (AP) – The starting job in the New York Giants’ backfield is up for grabs. Brandon Jacobs no longer is a lock to get the first call. The big guy is being pushed by his training camp roommate, and Ahmad Bradshaw seems to have pulled ahead. Throughout the first week of camp at the University of Albany, Bradshaw has been the one getting the first carry in practice. While coach Tom Coughlin downplays the significance of lining up with the first team, it hints that the days of Jacobs wearing down defenses early to set up Bradshaw running late might be changing. Now Bradshaw may be tiring opponents early so Jacobs can run them over later.

Panthers passing game struggles in scrimmage CHARLOTTE (AP) – Much of the talk during the first 11⁄2 weeks of training camp focused on the improvements the Carolina Panthers made in the passing game after finishing 27th in the league last year. However, it didn’t look that way at Saturday’s Fan Fest scrimmage. The first-team offense managed just two first downs in three possessions as quarterback Matt Moore finished 4 of 9 for 26 yards while an experienced offensive line looked out of synch and allowed regular pressure from the second-team defense. The second-team offense wasn’t any better. Led by quarterbacks Hunter Cantwell and Jimmy Clausen, it managed just one first down during its 12play sequence. The only points of the scrimmage came when the third-team offense managed to get in field goal range for veteran kicker John Kasay. “The defense was ahead of the offense,” coach John Fox said. “But I

think that’s typical every year. But I’m pleased with the effort and pleased we got through healthy.” Although Carolina’s offense was without wide receiver Steve Smith, right tackle Jeff Otah and three of their top four running backs, the outcome was still a little surprising. Carolina’s passing game had looked sharp throughout camp, moving the ball with regularity against a restructured defense that’s trying to replace six starters from last year’s team. “If you look at training camp, the offense has done a good job of establishing the run against us and pushing us around and being pretty dominant,” said Pro Bowl linebacker Jon Beason. “But now you come out here today and it’s the first live situation where it’s no holding back and for us to come out here and dominate – well, that’s very encouraging for us.” Things might have been different had Moore completed a long bomb to wide receiver Kenny Moore, but that

potential big gainer ended with the ball slipping just out of the receiver’s outstretched arms. “I thought I had it for a second,” Kenny Moore said. Matt Moore, whose only first-down completions went to Wallace Wright and Dwayne Jarrett, said it’s important not to read too much into one scrimmage. The Panthers have a bigger test Thursday night when they open the preseason at Baltimore. “There were some little things, but correctable stuff,” Moore said. “I can’t even put my finger on what exactly it was. But we completed some balls and moved the chains a little. But we’ll learn from some things out here. But I’m not disappointed at all.” Offensive tackle Jordan Gross said the first-team offensive line, which is supposed to be one of the strengths of the team, didn’t have a very good day. “Well, you want to go out and score 12 touchdowns if you’re going to run 12 plays – and we were a long way from

that,” Gross said. “But it’s a little bit of a test where we’re at. We definitely have more work to do. I was happy to see our defense do so well because I know it’s a question a lot of people have.” Gross said it makes no sense to read into Moore’s statistics for a scrimmage. “If he would have thrown 10 touchdowns I wouldn’t be saying that he’s the MVP of this league either,” Gross said. “So it’s OK. It’s no big deal.” For Clausen, the team’s highly-regarded second-round draft pick out of Notre Dame, it was his first time playing inside Bank of America Stadium. Clausen said he had a few butterflies Saturday morning. “A little bit, sure,” Clause said. “I was excited to come out of that tunnel for the first time, hopefully the first of many times. But it was a good day out here. It was excited to see all of the fans come out and support the Panthers.” The Panthers have today off and return to training camp in Spartanburg, S.C., on Monday.

Quarterback Davis plays catch-up for Pirates GREENVILLE (AP) – Dominique Davis knows he has some catching up to do. The Boston College and junior college product missed spring drills as East Carolina installed a new spread offense under first-year coach Ruffin McNeill and offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley. He spent the summer studying and getting ready for training camp, though he knows he’s behind fellow quarterbacks Brad Wornick and Rio Johnson – the guys who got plenty of reps under center in the spring. “I knew I was far behind everybody,” Davis said Saturday at the Pirates’ annual preseason media day. “But my main perspective is just to get better every day and make the players around me better, and even the other quarterbacks better. And vice versa for me – they’re going to make me better. I’ve worked as hard as I can to catch up.” Consider Davis’ arrival to be another wrinkle thrown at a Pirates program undergoing plenty of change these days. Aside from the departure of Skip Holtz to take over at South Florida, quarterback Patrick Pinkney — who led the Pirates to consecutive Conference USA championships – has finally exhausted NCAA-granted six years of eligibility and must be replaced. As the Pirates wrapped up last season, it appeared Davis would be that guy. Now he’s fighting for his spot on a team that’s admittedly curious to see him work through preseason drills. “We are anxious to see Dominique in some pads and when he has bullets flying left and right, and how he’s going to perform,” linebacker Steve

Spence said. “However, from his track record, he’s already proven he can go out there and do it.” Riley said Davis’ playing experience at BC gives him an advantage on Wornick and Johnson, who have never taken a collegiate snap. Yet their experience from spring drills in the pass-heavy attack imported from Texas Tech gives them their own edge as they fight to start against Tulsa on Sept. 5. “He’s behind because he wasn’t taking snaps and throwing it,” Riley said. “Some of the things that you can’t practice in the summer, your screen game and stuff like that, he’s going to be behind on. But he has a clue of what we’re doing. It’s not like he’s a freshman that doesn’t have any idea of what we’re doing. He has an idea and the maturity aspect will help him. He’s going to be right there. It’ll be interesting to see.” Davis was the talented redshirt freshman with the Eagles in 2008 who inherited the starting job late in the season at BC when Chris Crane went down to injury, even starting the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game against Virginia Tech. But Davis ended up on academic suspension then opted to transfer. He spent a year at Fort Scott Community College, where he led the team to a No. 2 national ranking before deciding he wanted to play for the Pirates. But when Holtz left and McNeill arrived in January, Davis wasn’t sure if he’d still fit at East Carolina. One visit from the folksy, easygoing McNeill and Riley to his Florida home with his parents changed that.

That year marked first of six double-digit sack totals in career. ... Also earned Jackson first of six trips to Pro Bowl. ... Named first-team All-Pro 1986, 1987, 1992, 1993. ...

Dove hunt supports returning soldiers M

y first dove hunt was at Tom Hilton’s farm on Old Greensboro Road. I shot doves from between rows of the tobacco field, hiding under the “tips” another word for the leaves of the last pulling. I used my Daddy’s old Excelsior 16 gauge single barrel and by the time I was through with the two boxes of purple Federal paper shells, my shoulder looked like something in a butcher’s case. I think I found three doves out of those two boxes of shells and I was hooked. Since that time, I’ve attended many a season opener dove hunt. I’m getting excited. We’re fast approaching the best time of the year, fall. The official kick off for the best quarter in the year is less than a month away. The opening of dove season has been SPORTS the beginning of the fall season for me for over 40 years now. Dick There were a few dove seasons Jones I missed when I was busy cam■■■ paigning in the High Power Rifle circuit, but now that I’ve achieved balance, I wouldn’t miss dove season for a speckled pup. I love the concept of doing something you enjoy doing while, at the same time, doing something beneficial for someone else. If you share that sentiment, I want you to go dove hunting with me. A group of High Point and other area sportsmen came up with a concept a few months back and you can help bring it to fruition. Last spring, the group got together with the idea of putting together an event to show 22 Soldiers from the Warrior Transition Battalion how much they appreciated their sacrifice. The Warrior Transition Battalion is an Army unit that helps wounded soldiers make the transition to deal with the changes in their lives. We located sponsors for each soldier and hosted a Pheasant Tower Hunt for them with clay shooting and great meals prepared by Executive Chef, Chris Poole from Alabama. The event was fun for the soldiers, most of whom had suffered extreme trauma in the Gulf War, and was a rewarding and inspirational time for all of us who participated. At the dinner that night, we toyed around with the idea of starting a nonprofit organization to allow us to repeat the event for both large and small groups of soldiers. In the current war, which has lasted longer than any recent war, we have many soldiers who’ve completed more than three tours. We even have citizen soldiers in the Guard and Reserves who have done three tours. This disruption to their lives creates considerable hardship. Our Group, Operation Enduring Gratitude, is in the process of acquiring 501C3 Non Profit status and Beaver Pond Sporting Club, the site of the original Wounded Warrior/Warrior Transitional Battalion event has graciously offered to help us to raise the money to get the project started. Everyone needs a little warm up to get back in the swing of shooting a shotgun and on opening day, the Five Stand will be open starting at 8 a.m. You’ll have a chance to sharpen up and even win a free round or much bigger prize. Not only is the clays course fun and challeng-

PHA HOSTS A DOVE SEASON SHOTGUN WARMUP

Ready for Dove season or just want to break some clays? PHA is holding a Five Stand, Wobble Trap tournament August 14 This is a re-entry shoot with a chance to better your score. Awards and prizes in Aggregate, Wobble trap, and Five stand. $20 gets you an entry in the Aggregate, the Five Stand and the Wobble Trap as well as a ticket for the drawing. The shoot begins at 9 a.m. For more information and a map, go to: phashoots.com

ing, it’s under a roof with fans, tables and rocking chairs. A good dove hunt is one of the hardest things to create. The habitat has to be right with food, water, and cover available and obviously, this has to happen in a place you can hunt. There is such a place. The birds are already stacking up on the wires along the fields of Beaver Pond Sporting Club. With 300 acres total and 170 acres of planted fields, there’ll be no problem finding a place to shoot. The habitat for the shooters is right as well with the Five Stand, the huge air conditioned lodge, the well maintained fields with alternating strips of cover and open fields. Food always goes with Dove season and the cookout before going to the fields is a tradition at the “Pond”. At the beginning of the season at 12:00 Noon, you can walk into the fields with a full stomach and a warmed up shotgun swing. After the shoot is over, you can stuff yourself with a pig picking at the lodge and just hang around and enjoy the after hunt glow. The best part is that while you have the dove hunt of a lifetime, you’ll be doing something nice for a veteran of the Gulf War. All you have to do to enjoy this great day of upland shooting is help us do something nice outdoors for a returning soldier. The Opening Day Dove Hunt at Beaver Pond will be the first event of Operation Enduring Gratitude and will put us in the position to begin showing our returning soldiers our gratitude for their sacrifice. For a collection of donations totaling $250, you can participate in the Opening Day OEC Dove Hunt at Beaver Pond. There will be prizes of merchandise, guns and hunts and the more money you raise, the better your chances are. All you have to do is pick up or download a donation sheet and find a few folks who’d like to help a soldier. If you can’t raise the $250, bring what you raise and donate $100. We’ll still let you shoot with us. Remember though that the more you raise, the better your chances in the drawings.

He’s an NRA Certified Instructor and an upcoming member of the board of directors of the Southeast Outdoor Press Association.

Kelly ready to lead Irish SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – Brian Kelly’s real work is just starting. Sure, he’s made 150 or so appearances as an ambassador for Notre Dame since taking over as head football coach last December. He ran spring practice, installed parts of his spread offense and 3-4 defense, and got a glimpse of what kind of talent he inherited from Charlie Weis. He’s analyzed and studied the roster, and heard about all the expectations for one of the country’s proudest programs that has gone 16-21 over the last three seasons. Now, he says, it’s time to start making improvements and progress on the field. After great success in transforming three other programs – Grand Valley State, Central Michigan and Cincinnati – he’s hoping to carry it over at Notre Dame. He’s already changed the climate with some rules. Hats and earrings during any footballrelated endeavors are a no-no. And when you’re practicing, your helmet stays on your noggin where it belongs. His imprints are everywhere, even on the cover of the team’s media guide that he helped designed. It shows an early Notre Dame team sporting the look of the day with leather helmets, jerseys without numbers and

no facemasks coming out of the tunnel with imposing looks on their faces. The cover resembles a painting in Kelly’s office. “I think that is the pervasive theme here: let’s get back to understanding the great tradition, who we are, how we play the game,” he said Friday. “We won’t go as far as no facemasks, but I will tell you that toughness, that ‘Fighting Irish’ is certainly the theme that we want to continue to advance forward.” Being tough doesn’t necessarily translate into victories and that’s where everything really hinges – the satisfaction of the alumni and widespread fan base, and successful recruiting. When it was noted that his two most recent predecessors, Tyrone Willingham and Weis, got off to good starts in their first seasons before eventually faltering, Kelly acknowledged that it’s his plan to start strong and get better. “We took this job over with the idea that we’re not going anywhere. I’m staying here for the rest of my life and going to coach Notre Dame,” Kelly said. “It’s not like there’s the next part that has to be implemented, let’s get off to the good start here and next year we’ll do

this. This is all about getting this program nationally in the top echelon immediately and then continue to work on that every single day.” Kelly’s teams during his three full seasons at Cincinnati went 33-6 with two straight Big East titles and two BSC bowl bids before he got his dream job in South Bend. His final Bearcats team last season went 12-0 in the regular season. Now he takes his hurry-up offense to a place where so many want him to hurry up and win. The Irish lost prolific quarterback Jimmy Clausen and top receiver Golden Tate. Kelly must count on Dayne Crist, who played four games as a backup last season before injuring his knee, as the replacement for Clausen. Michael Floyd and tight end Kyle Rudolph are the top passcatching threats and Armando Allen led the team in rushing last season. Chris Stewart and Trevor Robinson are key returning offensive linemen. A porous defense that allowed nearly 400 yards per game last season returns top linebackers in Manti Te’o and Brian Smith and a powerful nose guard in Ian Williams. Kelly lists his team’s depth, especially on the offensive line and at running back, as strengths.

Army Sgt. Joey Smith, shown at Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, remains paralyzed from the waist down after a 2004 injury.

Home for a hero After debilitating injury, soldier wants a house that will meet his needs BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

A

rmy Sgt. Joseph Smith, a career military man, has spent much of his adult life fighting for this nation’s freedom. Now he’s fighting for his own. Six years ago in Afghanistan, during Smith’s fourth deployment, the 39-year-old soldier suffered a spinal-cord injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down when a pair of Afghan locals – angry at Smith for confiscating their camera when they were taking unauthorized photos – retaliated by dropping a 450-pound storage locker on top of him as he entered a storage facility. In addition to warping his spinal cord, the blow crushed Smith’s left leg, caused a traumatic brain injury and nearly killed him. “The locker covered his whole body, except for his boots – that was the only way the troops knew he was under there,” says Smith’s wife, Debbi. “They found him about 45 minutes later and lifted it off of him.” Smith, who grew up in Virginia, spent the next four years in hospitals and rehab centers, determined to mend and strengthen his broken body. The paralysis still requires Smith to use a wheelchair, but he’s now able to take a few steps on a walker or with assis-

tance – something doctors had said would be impossible. Last fall, he completed the grueling Marine Corps Marathon on a handcycle, climbing the final hill to the finish line on a flat tire. Meanwhile, Joey (as he likes to be called) met the former Debbi Oldaugh – who grew up in High Point – and they clicked. The couple got married in August 2009, and they have a home in Shelby. Three children from previous marriages live with them. What’s missing in Joey’s life is his independence. Because his home is not handicap-accessible, he cannot easily navigate his way through the house in his wheelchair, and he needs help with such necessities as using the bathroom, taking a bath and getting into bed. Not surprisingly, for a hardcore military man such as Joey – 15 years in the Army, six years in the Marines – asking for help does not come easy. “Being restricted on my independence,” he says softly, “has made me feel like less of a man.” That’s where Homes For Our Troops, a nonprofit agency based in Taunton, Mass., enters the picture. The organization recently purchased an acre of land in Randolph County,

Blind woman’s friend ignores request for silence D

ear Abby: My son and his girlfriend decided to go to an afternoon matinee. Two older women sat down behind them. When the movie started, one of them began a loud, running commentary to the other. After a few minutes, my son and his girlfriend moved to seats four rows farther down, but they could still hear the woman explaining step-by-step what was happening on the screen. He turned around and made a shushing sound, and in a loud voice she responded, “My friend is blind and I’m explaining what’s happening on the screen.� Other people changed seats, too. My son understood how a blind person might want to enjoy hearing a movie, but her companion should have told her this was a public place and she would have to wait until they go home to have it explained in full, or wait for the DVD to come out so they could talk at home while it was on. Abby, wasn’t it rude to destroy every-

one else’s enjoyment of the film? – Suzanne in Laguna Niguel, Calif. Dear Suzanne: Yes. Your son should have taken the problem to the theater usher or manADVICE ager. Many theaters are equipped with special Dear descriptive audio for blind Abby patrons. If that accommo■■■dation was not available, the blind person and her companion should have sat toward the front of the theater or in an area that was less crowded so they didn’t distract other audience members. Also, movies with descriptive audio can be obtained at the local library. Dear Abby: I have to choose between chorus and art for an elective for high school in the fall. I have been told I have

an excellent voice, but I’m scared to death about auditioning for chorus. I have little artistic ability – just enough to get me through life. I don’t know what to do. I want to be in chorus, but as I said, I am terrified of having to try out. Please give me some advice. – Angel Girl in Charlotte, N.C. Dear Angel Girl: You have to decide whether to take advantage of the fact that you have “an excellent voice� or spend the rest of your life singing by yourself in the shower. One way to overcome fear is to confront it in stages. In other words, start by singing for a few friends. If there’s a choir at your church, ask if you can audition for it. When school starts, ask the choral director if you can audition privately if you’re still afraid. If the answer is no, then your elective will have to be art. And by the way, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover that “talent� in art

is the result of hard work, dedication and practice. Dear Abby: I have been experiencing something similar to your “pennies from heaven� letters. My husband, a master carpenter for 40 years, passed away 10 months ago. We had several projects started – a shop, a greenhouse and a room addition. We were also starting up a small sawmill business. I have been trying to get things finished, and whenever I think I am not going to be able to make it, I find a nail where a nail shouldn’t be. It was always a joke between us that he spread nails like Johnny Appleseed. I believe he is watching out for me and leaves them to let me know I will be OK. – Jo Ann from Forks, Wash. Dear Jo Ann: I think you’ve “nailed� it. And because they bring you comfort, collect them and – perhaps – find a creative way to display them.

Culture affects quality of education

Q

uestion: You’ve been somewhat critical of America’s public schools in recent years. Who do you hold accountable for what has gone wrong? Dr. Dobson: I share the concern of many others about falling test scores, increasing violence on campuses, and the high illiteracy rate, among other serious problems with today’s schools. But I am not quick to blame educators for everything that has gone wrong. The teachers and school administrators who guide our children have been among the most maligned and underappreciated people in our society. They are an easy target for abuse. They are asked to do a terribly difficult job, and yet they are criticized almost daily for circumstances beyond their control. Some of their critics act as though educators are deliberately failing our kids. I strongly disagree. We would still be having serious difficulties in our schools if the professionals did everything right. Why? Because what goes on in the classroom cannot be separated from the problems occurring in culture at large. Educators are not responsible for the condition our kids are in when they arrive at school each day. It’s not the teachers’ fault that families are unraveling and that large numbers of their students have been sexually and/or physically abused, neglected and undernourished. They can’t keep kids from watching mindless television or R-rated DVDs until midnight, or from using illegal substances or alcohol. In essence, when the culture begins to crumble, the schools will also look bad. That’s why even though I disagree with many of the trends in modern education, I sympathize with the dedicated teachers and principals out there who are doing

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

their best on behalf of our youngsters. They are discouraged today, and they need our support.

Question: You’ve said Dr. James that schools Dobson need to ■■■have enough structure and discipline to require certain behavior from children whether or not they have a natural interest in the subject being taught. Then you must favor a very structured, teacher-led program, where student behavior is rather tightly controlled. Why? Dr. Dobson: One of the purposes of education is to prepare a young person for later life. To survive as an adult in this society, one needs to know how to work, how to get there on time, how to get along with others, how to stay with a task until it’s completed, and, yes, how to submit to authority. In short, it takes a good measure of self-discipline and control to cope with the demands of modern living. Maybe one of the greatest gifts a loving teacher can contribute to an immature child, therefore, is to help her learn to sit when she feels like running, to raise her hand when she feels like talking, to be polite to her neighbor, to stand in line without smacking the kid in front, and to do English when she feels like doing soccer. I would also like to see our schools readopt reasonable dress codes,

eliminating suggestive clothing, T-shirts with profanity, etc. Guidelines concerning good grooming and cleanliness should also be enforced. I know! I know! These notions are so alien to us now that we can hardly imagine such a thing. But the benefits would be apparent immediately. Admittedly, hairstyles and matters of momentary fashion are of no particular significance, but adherence to a standard is an important element of discipline. The military has understood that for five thousand years! If one examines the secret behind a championship football team, a magnificent

orchestra or a successful business, the principal ingredient is invariably discipline. Preparation for this disciplinary lifestyle should begin in childhood. That’s why I think it’s a mistake to require nothing of children – to place no demands on their behavior – to allow them to giggle, fight, talk and play in the classroom. We all need to adhere to reasonable rules, and school is a good place to get acquainted with how that is done. DR. DOBSON is founder and Chairman Emeritus of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, Colo. 80995 (www.focusonthefamily. org).

Wilson Farris climbs a structure at Stonehenge II in Hunt, Texas. The Stonehenge replica, built by Doug Hill and Al Shepperd in 1989, will soon be moved to a new home.

Texas’ Stonehenge II on the move BY MICHAEL GRACZYK ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

H

UNT, Texas – The narrow road, lush greenery and low gray skies reminded Michelle Rechka of home. She traced a sharp curve of Farm Road 1340 through a dip where it crosses the Guadalupe River and followed the road up the river bank to reveal a broad pasture marked with a strange but for her, familiarlooking, sight: A collection of huge concrete rectangles standing on end, topped with horizontal pieces of concrete and all arranged in a circle. “For a split second, I thought I was driving in England,” Rechka, 47, an Oxford, England, native now living in Port Jefferson, N.Y., said after getting her first look at the Texas version of Stonehenge. The quirky roadside attraction, known as Stonehenge II, mimics the mysterious prehis-

Stonehenge II www. alfredshepperd.com/ Stonehenge/main.html Hill Country Arts Foundation www.hcaf.com/ toric circle of stone monuments about 100 miles southeast of London. Like its English counterpart, Stonehenge II, in the Texas Hill Country about a 90-minute drive northwest of San Antonio, draws curious visitors from around the world. Unlike the more famous version, the Texas attraction, erected a generation ago under the guidance of a whimsical landowner, is headed for a new home. Al Shepperd, a Dallas hotel owner who retired to the Hill Country, commissioned the work in 1989 and died five years later. Now his heirs want to sell the nearly 22-acre riverfront property, but

worried what potential buyers would think of the landmark. “We just feel like no one would want to buy it if they had to take the Stonehenge,” said Al Shepperd II, a San Antonio lawyer whose family inherited the land from their eccentric uncle. While acknowledging it’s a great free attraction for tourists, Shepperd said the site also requires maintenance. He cuts the grass every couple of weeks and picks up litter. The Hill Country Arts Foundation, where the elder Shepperd served on the board of directors, has accepted Shepperd’s donation of Stonehenge, plus a couple of replica Easter Island heads, and is raising $50,000 for a construction company to move the items to its campus a few miles to the east in Ingham, hopefully by the end of summer. “We’re happy to have it here,” said foundation executive director David Cockerell.

“He was definitely a character, delightful,” Cockerell said of Shepperd. “My board of directors took a deep breath and said we’d raise the funds. We’ve had a lot of interest and there’s a lot of people that want to keep it here in the county. The replica Polynesian statues were moved in mid-July. Now, visitors have only a few more weeks to see Stonehenge II the way Shepperd intended before it’s dismantled and relocated. “It won’t be the same,” said artist Doug Hill, who lives across the road and built Stonehenge II at the direction of his neighbor and friend. “It changed everything. It brought traffic. We had a couple of wrecks with people stopping in the middle of the road.” Hill started Shepperd’s creative juices in 1989 with the gift of a chunk of limestone deposited in the middle of the hay field a couple hundred yards from Shepperd’s home just off the Guadal-

Disney World opening luxury pet resort LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) – Pluto never had it so good: The next major attraction to open at Walt Disney World won’t be for the kids – it will be for the dogs. Best Friends Pet Resort, scheduled to open Aug. 27, will offer not just boarding, but also bedtime stories and a water park for dogs. The luxury facility will accommodate way more than 101 Dalmatians. With more than 50,000 square feet of space, half of it outdoors, it has room for 270 dogs, 30 cats and assorted other animals, including birds, potbellied pigs and small mammals like hamsters and guinea pigs. (Sorry, no turtles, snakes or lizards.) Standard indoor boarding for dogs runs $37 night-

ly. For additional fees, you can get services like doggy play group or bedtime stories for pooches accustomed to snuggling up with children while a parent reads aloud. (On the Best Friends reading list: “The Poky Little Puppy.”) Upgrades for dogs include vacation villas with outdoor patios and flatscreen TVs for watching videos like “Homeward Bound” ($59), or 226square-foot luxury suites ($76) with private outdoor play yards and personal pet concierges. Cats can choose between two- and four-story condos. In addition to the water park, Best Friends offers play groups, outdoor runs, walking trails and areas for playing ball or Frisbee.

Pets can be left for the day without overnight boarding, and owners can drop by to visit or play on their way from hotels to the park. “We know that people who bring their pets with them to Disney want to see their pets,” said Deb Bennetts, spokeswoman for Best Friends, which operates more than 40 petboarding facilities around

the U.S. “If they were simply going to board their pet, they would board their pet at home. They want to see and interact with their pet while at the resort, so we’ve made it easy for them to do that with all of this wonderful outdoor space.” For more information, visit the website www. wdw.bestfriendspetcare. com.

upe River. The limestone was left over from a patio project. Shepperd stood it on end, wanted attention paid to it and suggested building an arch to make it more visible. The arch reminded him of Stonehenge and he went with the theme, insisting however that what would become Stonehenge II be no taller than 13 feet, or about two-thirds the size of the English landmark. “I really thought it should be larger,” Hill said. “Thirteen feet. That was one of his specifications. I really don’t know why that number. Maybe lucky number 13.” Hill, 58, an insurance agent in nearby Kerrville, remembers seeing up to 200 people at a time converging on the site, tourist buses emptying passengers and school buses delivering children who played hide-and-seek around the 30 broad pillars he and a couple of associates fashioned from steel reinforced bars they

Summer or winter. Someone always is taking a look. “I’d heard about it,” Cheri Jones, of Wichita, Kan., who recently stopped by with her kids, said. “I didn’t know what to expect.” “Pretty cool,” Julie Farris, of Rockwall, a Dallas suburb, said as she checked it out with her family.

Angina is sign of clogged heart arteries D

ear Dr. Donohue: I am 56, a woman and have angina. I don’t understand it too well. I have never smoked, and I am not overweight. I’d get chest pains if I hurried to catch a bus or to get on an open elevator. When it first started, my doctor gave me a medicine to put under my tongue when the pain happened. It worked well. I don’t have to use it much anymore. Is that a good sign? Am I destined to have a heart attack? – J.A. Angina (pronounced ANN-juh-nuh or ann-JEYE-nuh) is squeezing chest pain that comes on when a person is active and leaves when that person rests. Being active can mean walking, jogging, cleaning, doing the washing, weeding or digging. It comes about because one or more of the heart arteries is plugged with plaque – a mound of cholesterol

and fat on the inside artery wall. At rest, enough blood makes its way to the heart. With activity, the heart can’t get enough blood because of the plaque. The heart makes its lack of blood HEALTH known by chest pain that also might be felt in Dr. Paul the neck, the jaw or the Donohue arms, or only in those ■■■ places. Angina, one of the signs of coronary (heart) artery disease, affects 17 million Americans. Smoking, obesity, inactivity, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure and a family history are some of the major factors that cause its development. You don’t smoke and never did.

needs to build an entire home, that doesn’t get you there. We cover the cost over and above the grant, so the veteran gets a home with no mortgage.” No timetable has been set for building the Smiths’ home, but construction will begin with a “build brigade,” a three-day building blitz designed to get the frame of the house built – walls, siding, roof, doors and windows – so the rest of the work can be done without hindrance from the elements. “The build brigade is open to the public, and it’s pretty exciting,” Benoit says. “It’s like ‘Extreme Home Makeover’ in three days, but of course we don’t get the whole house done in three days.” Beane hopes the Smiths will be able to move in before Christmas. The new home will be a blessing to the Smiths, whose 1,300-square-foot home in Shelby is nice, but not handicap-accessible. “Our living room is really small, and for Joey to get in the living room and into the kitchen, I have to move the furniture in a little square to make room for his wheelchair,” Debbi says. “The doorways are not wide enough for his chair unless I push him through; otherwise, he smacks his knuckles off. He can’t get in and out of the bathtub by himself, and it’s the same thing with the commode. We have one ramp that comes into our house from the garage, so God forbid if there’s ever a fire in the garage – I’d have to carry him out.” The new home will give Joey his independence and dignity, and it has filled him and Debbi with gratitude. “The people that donate and volunteer ... we just can’t say thanks enough to them and tell them what it means, because it shows us that the American public does care about our soldiers,” Debbi says. “Regardless of their stance on the war, they care about these guys and gals that come back and who do have lifechanging injuries, and it makes you feel like you didn’t do this in vain.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

just inside the Davidson County line, on which it plans to build a handicap-accessible home for the Smith family. “We build specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan,” explains Tom Benoit, vice president and chief financial officer of Homes For Our Troops. “...We’ve completed over 50 houses (since the agency’s founding in 2004), and we have about 40 more going on across the country right now.” Joey will be the seventh North Carolina veteran to receive a home from the organization. Homes For Our Troops evaluates applications from veterans, accepting those who have incurred “a certain severity of injury” in a combat theater of operations since 9/11, according to Benoit. Once a veteran has been accepted, the agency begins looking for a suitable tract of land on which to build, as well as a general contractor and tradespeople willing to donate their services for the construction project. In Joey’s case, he and Debbi requested their home be built in Randolph County, so they could be closer to Debbi’s family. The agency put out a request for a general contractor willing to take on the project, and Scott Beane of Beane Construction in Trinity answered the call. “My father served in the military from 1966 to ’75, and those guys are over there fighting for our freedom,” Beane says, “so the least I can do is help build a home for this disabled veteran that will be handicap-accessible.” Beane helped the Smiths find a suitable lot, which Homes For Our Troops has now purchased. Construction will begin soon, and Beane needs volunteer tradespeople – everything from electrical and plumbing contractors to roofers and companies that can donate building supplies. The idea, Benoit says, is to build the home at no cost to the veteran. “The VA (Veterans Affairs) has a grant program for specially adapted homes, but it caps at about $64,000,” he says. “For someone who

pressure and weight? If those things need to be addressed, they trump all other treatments. In spite of controlling the above factors, many still have to take medicines – medicines that dilate arteries or make the heart beat slower, or ones that lower blood pressure or cholesterol. The medicine you put under your tongue was nitroglycerin. Long-acting varieties of that medicine and long-acting other artery dilators might be the reason why you don’t need nitroglycerin as much as you did. That is a good sign. Clogged heart arteries can be opened with a balloon-tipped catheter or by bypassing the clog with an artery graft. You might not ever need such procedures. You’re not doomed to have a heart attack. The treatment you’re now getting is designed to prevent one.

Dear Dr. Donohue: What can you tell me about glossopharyngeal? My doctor says I have it. He has me on medicine for it. – K.L. The glossopharyngeal (GLOSS-oh-fairIN-gee-ul) nerve is one of the 12 cranial nerves, nerves that come directly from the brain. They are the nobility of the nerve kingdom. The glossopharyngeal nerve is the nerve of taste and the nerve that activates some throat muscles. Glossopharyngeal neuralgia consists of episodes of knife-like pain in the throat and back of the tongue. Swallowing, chewing and even talking can provoke an attack. Carbamazepine, gabapentin, phenytoin and valproic acid are some of the drugs used to curtail such attacks. Surgically freeing the nerve from an encircling and pulsating artery is another treatment for this condition.

A U.S. Army soldier stands in a cargo yard for containers of equipment that will be shipped out of the country at Camp Victory in Baghdad. Everything from helicopters to printer cartridges are being wrapped and stamped and shipped out of Iraq in one of the most monumental withdrawal operations the American military has ever carried out as U.S. forces flow out of the country. The move is reversing, over the course of months, a U.S. military presence that built up over seven years and dug in so deep it once seemed immovable. More than 400 bases are being closed down or handed over to the Iraqi military, some closer to small towns with elaborate dining facilities serving tacos and crab legs and gyms with rows of treadmills.

sessed to see if it can be moved and if so, whether it is needed anywhere else in the country. Many of the materials — water tanks, generators, and furniture — are eventually donated to the Iraqi government. As of July 27, $98.6 million worth of equipment has been handed over, most to the Iraqi army and Interior Ministry. More than 400 bases are being closed down or handed over to the Iraqi military. By September, the American military will have fewer than 100 bases in the country, down from a high of 505 in January 2008. Some of these bases look somewhat like small towns with elaborate dining facilities serving tacos and crab legs and gyms with rows of treadmills. About half the vehicles — what the military describes as “rolling stock” — that have left Iraq have gone to Afghanistan. More than 180,000 items like weapons or communications equipment have also been sent to Afghanistan over the past year. In the past, when troops rotated into Iraq they brought some weapons and other equipment with them. But they inherited most of their equipment — including Humvees and other armored vehicles — from the unit they replaced. But now as troops aren’t being replaced, the last guys out must leave their equipment at the door to be redistributed, whether back to the U.S., other units in Iraq or to Afghanistan.

The U.S. government has taken issue with the Iraqi government’s claim that July was the deadliest month in the country since May 2008. “USF-I (United States ForcesIraq) refutes the reported figures of violence that claims that July 2010 is ’the deadliest month in Iraq since 2008’,” the US military said in the statement on Sunday. According to the Pentagon, 222 people were killed and 782 were injured in Iraqi violence last month, less than half the Iraqi figure. “The claim that July 2010 was the deadliest month in Iraq since May 2008 is incorrect,” the statement noted. In a news report a spokesman for US forces in Iraq called the Iraqi data “grossly overstated.” The figures published by Iraqi ministries said 396 civilians, 89 policemen and 50 soldiers died in July – with an additional 1,043 people wounded. The Iraqi data compares with 284 people who died in June, and the 275 who were killed in July 2009.

North Carolina politicians discuss Arizona immigration law BY JOEL GERBER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

KINSTON – Debate over immigration law heated up in a regularly scheduled Lenoir County Commissioners meeting Monday. Councilman Chris Humphrey introduced a resolution for Lenoir County to support the controversial Arizona immigration bill. “As a tax paying citizen, I think it is time we take a stand,” Humphrey

The Lenoir County Board of Commissioners last week got into a heated debate on whether to support the controversial Arizona immigration bill. said. “I am a law-abiding citizen, and I expect those in this country to be the same way.” Humphrey cited one of his main reasons for supporting the Arizona bill is the money the county spends on illegal immigrants per year. “This county spends over $5 million a year dealing with illegal immigrants,” Humphrey said. “I think that Arizona is doing the right thing by attempting to put a stop to what is going on illegally in our country.” Arizona Senate Bill 1070 requires immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and allows police to question the residency status of people while enforcing another law. In addition, the law targets businesses that hire illegal immigrant laborers or knowingly transports them, by making hiring illegal workers a crime. The other county commissioner in support of the bill, Tommy Pharo, responded to claims that the bill is racist or has any sort of racial undertones. “I do not hate immigrants, or anyone based on where they are from,” Pharo said. “I am a second generation immigrant myself, and I read the law and there is nothing in there that states anything about targeting a specific group of people.” Pharo also said he was not in favor of allowing people who already have entered the

This is a federal issue, and it is handled by legislation at that level.” Graham suggested working on the issue through the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, as with all other issues the county has at a national level. “There is a process to go through if you want to affect federal change,” Graham said. Other members of the council took issue with supporting an Arizona law in North Carolina. “I don’t think we can prepare ourselves to know all the laws Ari-

zona has in place, and to support one of their laws without looking at it does not make sense,” Reuben J. Davis said. The law has been criticized by ranking officials as high up as President Obama, and has sparked protests across the country. On July 6, the United States Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the state of Arizona. On July 28, an Arizona District Court Judge blocked much of the legislation in the bill. “I am not saying it is in there, but you know what is being said about it,” Councilwoman Linda Rouse Sutton said. “It is an important issue, but I am not comfortable making this kind of decision on it, this is not for us to decide on.” Graham made a motion, which was seconded by Sutton, to go through the process of the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners before deciding what course of action the county should take. This motion passed 4-2, with Humphrey and Pharo voting against. Humphrey then made a motion, which was seconded by Pharo, for Lenoir County to support Arizona Senate Bill 1070. This motion failed.

Coble joins Tea Party Caucus BY MIKE WILDER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

BURLINGTON – U.S. Rep. Howard Coble’s recent decision to join the House Tea Party Caucus will keep him informed about national developments in the movement, his chief of staff said. Ed McDonald said Coble’s decision is consistent with his involvement at Tea Party rallies in North Carolina’s 6th Congressional District, which the Guilford County Repub-

lican represents. Coble’s district includes most of Alamance County. “He’s been in touch with a lot of Tea Party activists in our district,” McDonald said, and shares many of their concerns, including growth of the federal government. “This is a way to keep in touch with what’s going on nationally in the Tea Party movement.” Coble, R-6th, became the 51st House member to join the caucus. All are Republicans. The caucus was founded by Rep. Mi-

chelle Bachmann, who is from Minnesota. Bachmann said she formed the caucus to give people involved in the Tea Party movement a forum for sharing information with members of Congress. A press release announcing Coble’s decision to join the caucus noted that he faced opposition in the May primary election from Tea Partybacked candidates. Coble won the Republican nomination with 64 percent of the vote in a field of six candidates.

Authorities recover backpacks full of stolen guns BY WESLEY BROWN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

KINSTON – Investigators recovered 49 handguns and 37 boxes of ammunition stolen from Neuse Sport Shop Monday, but are still looking for two of the three burglars who allegedly took the items in the first place. The Kinston Depart-

ment of Public Safety arrested 17-year-old Rahsaan Malik Williams, of 802 McCaskill Drive, near Neuse Sport Shop around 1:14 a.m., shortly after responding to an alarm sounding at the sporting goods store. While checking the building at 225 E. New Bern Road, Kinston Police Sgt. Craig Jarman said officers encountered two males – each of aver-

age build – wearing masks and dark clothing and carrying backpacks. Detectives discovered from video surveillance footage the involvement of a third burglar of the same description, Jarman said. All three subjects fled the scene on foot in separate directions. Officers set up a perimeter and conducted a K-9 search. During the search, officers found Williams and

three backpacks and recovered the stolen weapons. Jarman said the trio of thieves entered from a window in the back of the store. Jarman said the investigation continues. “We are still trying to figure out (if the three were friends),” Jarman said. “We are still talking to (Williams) and following up on some leads.”

Munster match: ‘60s TV star falls for patient fan JOANN LOVIGLIO ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

W

EST CHESTER, Pa. – Forty-five years after a Pennsylvania woman sent a fan letter to her favorite TV star, they’ve made a Munster match. Donna McCall was a 10-yearold with a crush on Butch Patrick, who played boy werewolf Eddie Munster in the mid-’60s sitcom “The Munsters.” In her letter, she asked Patrick how tall he was because girls at the time were making gum wrapper chains long enough to match the height of their boyfriends. To her delight, the young actor responded and included his height – 5 feet, 4 inches. Like many childhood projects, however, the wrapper chain wasn’t completed. Decades passed. McCall was a Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader in the late 1970s, worked for 20 years as

AP

Butch Patrick and Donna McCall are seen Tuesday during an interview with the Associated Press in West Chester, Pa. a hospital pharmacist, married and divorced. When “The Munsters” ended in 1966 after two years on the air, Patrick left Mockingbird Lane and appeared on shows including “My Three Sons” and “Lidsville,” though Eddie Munster remains his best known role.

An online article about a man who holds the world record for making a 12-milelong gum wrapper chain triggered McCall’s memory of her preteen idol. She found an e-mail address for Patrick, and a correspondence began. McCall, now 55 and living

30 miles outside Philadelphia in West Chester, sent along a picture from her cheerleading days, said Patrick, 57, who never married but has a 23-year-old son in Missouri. She also sent photos of herself doing activities on her “bucket list,” from scuba diving and trapeze lessons to race car driving, he said. “That intrigued me a lot,” Patrick said. “She’s single, she’s beautiful, she’s in the nicest part of the country and she likes to do adventurous things. I figured I had to meet this woman.” The pair agreed to meet May 8 at a horror convention outside Pittsburgh called DraculaCon. You could say it was love at first bite. “I think a lot of people ... thought there was something special going on between us,” McCall said. “It was just very comfortable, very easy.” Within weeks, Patrick, who has homes in Los Angeles and

Florida, moved to Pennsylvania to be with McCall. He’s working this Halloween season with a company called 13 Haunts as its “spokesperson and in-house celebrity Munster” for appearances at its 13 haunted houses in the Philadelphia area. The couple say they are not engaged, contrary to other reports. “We’ve only known each other for three months, four months, so it would be a little crazy to be jumping into that,” McCall said. Patrick added: “It’s not that it’s not going to happen, but one day at a time, so to speak.” Meanwhile, they say they’re enjoying getting to know each other – both are active in fundraising at the Chester County Arts Association, and Patrick is enlisting Hollywood friends including Shirley Jones and Lindsay Wagner to lend their celebrity signatures to an upcoming exhibit.

Jonas and Sparks are leading a committee of 35 prominent young people touched by the life of the Gipper, the nation’s 40th president who left the White House in 1989. The group was formed to commemorate Reagan’s 100th birthday on Feb. 6. The National Youth Leadership Commit-

tee of the Ronald Reagan Centennial Celebration includes athletes, entertainers and student leaders who are under age 25. They have been inspired in a personal way by Reagan’s vision of freedom and his leadership. “My father and my family were supporters of Reagan,” Jonas said. “I’m proud to be a part of this. It’s amazing.” Sparks says she also

admires the president dubbed the Great Communicator. “It has been really cool to tell my friends I’m a part of this. A good many of my friends have positive things to say about him,” Sparks said. Together, committee members have 18 Olympic medals, 2 platinum records and a Miss USA crown. There are sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, professional football players and a student from Illinois’ Eureka College, where Reagan was a student in 1932. Reagan died on June 5, 2004, after a decade-long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Yen emerges from shadow of action stars Chan, Li BY MIN LEE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

H

ONG KONG – For years, Donnie Yen worked in the shadow of Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Having fought both on-screen, the 47-year-old actor was considered a worthy opponent but not necessarily a leading man in his own right. The dynamic changed after Yen took on the role of Bruce Lee’s kung fu master in 2008. “Ip Man” was a hit and two years later, the sequel was also successful. “Ip Man 2” is the top-grossing local film in China in the first half of the year with a box office take of $34 million, second only to “Avatar” and beating other Hollywood blockbusters like “Iron Man 2” and “Clash of the Titans.” With Chan and Li cutting down on output and seeking more dramatic roles, Yen is now the most prolific

action star. Last year, he had three releases. This year, four are scheduled, including “Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen,” which was chosen as one of the two opening movies at the Venice Film Festival in September. His breakthrough role as Ip best showcased his personality and was right for the times, Yen told The Associated Press in a recent interview. Yen said Chinese viewers have tired of the superhuman feats of action heroes like Lee, Li and Chan and found Ip more accessible because he “just comes off as your friend, a friendly neighbor.” “What people want to see is someone closer to the people, someone with family values, maybe even a man who’s afraid of his wife, a domesticated man. We crafted this character – but at the same time he excels at kung fu.”

Art dealer who bilked stars gets prison NEW YORK (AP) – An art dealer who conned his starstudded clientele out of $120 million while indulging in such luxuries as a private baseball stadium was sentenced this week to at least six years in prison for a fraud that swept up John McEnroe and the estate of Robert De Niro’s father. A tearful Lawrence Salander told a Manhattan judge before hearing the sentence, which could send him to prison for as long as 18 years without time off for good behavior, that he was “deeply ashamed.” The disgraced 61-year-old art dealer said his wife had recently decided to separate from him. “I lost my wife, my business and my reputation,” Salander said as several of his 30 victims watched from the courtroom audience, still reeling from their own losses. The bankrupt Salander hasn’t paid any restitution to his victims. “He stole my childhood promises,” said Dr. Ellen Shander, a psychiatrist whose father’s estate was swindled out of $2.2 million in paintings, including a Picasso, a Monet and a Cezanne. Salander pleaded guilty in March to grand larceny and other charges, admitting he bilked his clients through phony art investment opportunities and sales of pieces he didn’t own. He sold investors shares in artworks that amounted to more than 100 percent, inflated the prices backers paid to buy in and lied about having lucrative deals lined up to resell the pieces. Meanwhile, he kept sale proceeds he should have given to artists’ families and others who entrusted him with pieces to sell. Sometimes he used their artworks to pay his own debts while indulging in private jet travel and a 66-acre estate in Millbrook, N.Y., where he built a small baseball stadium, prosecutors said. “Lawrence Salander is a pathological, self-absorbed con man,” Assistant District Attorney Kenn Kern said. One of Salander’s investors, a group called Renaissance Art Investors LLC, lost at least $45 million. The estate of abstract expressionist Robert De Niro Sr., the “Raging Bull” actor’s father, lost about $1.25 million. McEnroe lost about $2 million.

Singer Jimmy Wayne completes 1,700-mile walk

N

ASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Country singer Jimmy Wayne can finally put his feet up. He arrived in Phoenix last week with a broken foot after walking approximately 1,700 miles over the past seven months. A high school marching band and several hundred fans walked with Wayne down the home stretch as he approached his destination at HomeBase Youth Services. Wayne took steps gingerly with his right foot in a walking boot while people chanted his name. Wayne started the “Meet Me Halfway” campaign on Jan. 1 in Nashville with the goal of walking halfway across the country for at-risk youth, specifically for those in danger of aging out of the foster care system with no support or resources. He was a homeless teen, in and out of foster homes, until a couple took him at age 16. “I hope that when someone says, ‘Wow. He walked halfway across America to raise awareness for at-risk teens,’ I hope that they realize that the most important part of that sentence is ‘at-risk teens who are aging out of the system and becoming homeless,’ ” Wayne said in an interview. “The walk

Wearing a walking boot to protect his injured foot, country music recording artist Jimmy Wayne made his way to Steele Indian School Park in Phoenix, Ariz., this week as he walked the final leg of his “Meet Me Halfway” solo walk halfway across America to raise awareness for at-risk children and homeless youth. Wayne’s walk, which covered 1,700 miles, began in Nashville, Tenn., on January 1 and ended at the HomeBase Youth Services facility in Phoenix.

itself ... a lot of people are blown away with that, but I hope that they’re more blown away with the message.” Wayne, whose biggest hit is “Do You Believe Me Now?”, braved extreme weather conditions throughout his walk. After taking off in the dead of winter, he remembered sleeping on the ground in single-digit temperatures, saying it was so cold that his sleeping bag froze over. He also had to face brutal heat, walking through the desert in the middle of summer. The journey was longer and harder than he ever anticipated. “There’s that little side of me that says, ‘I’m glad I didn’t know,’ because if I had known, I’m almost certain, I know me, I probably wouldn’t have done it,” said Wayne. “I’m glad I didn’t know what lay ahead. I’m glad I didn’t know the timeframe. I’m just glad I went into it as blind as I did.” Wayne said he will always be involved in efforts to end teen homelessness, but he’s happy that his trek is over. “I plan on doing my part. I don’t plan on walking six states again. I won’t ever do that again,” said Wayne, laughing. “I don’t know if I’ll ever do anything this hard again. All I’m doing is asking folks just to help me take the awareness that we’ve raised already and keep nurturing it.” Wayne gives full credit to his foster parents, Russell and Beatrice Costner, for changing his life.

NEW YORK (AP) – First lady Michelle Obama is becoming a fixture on the Vanity Fair International Best-Dressed List – but it’s soccer star David Beckham who earned a spot in the hall of fame. The most eyebrow-raising choices on the magazine’s annual list of top tastemakers are in the “originals” category, which includes cover girl Lady Gaga, John Galliano and Helena Bonham Carter. Gaga channels the “Dada Catholic girl” in the spirit of Gypsy Rose Lee and Rosie, the Jetson’s robot maid, the magazine says, while Bonham Carter, who says her favorite items of clothing is her “bloomers,” is inspired by Vivienne Westwood and Marie Antoinette. Galliano’s finds his role model in Oliver Twist, and his favorite shoes are his “lucky biker boots.” Vanity Fair sends ballots to thousands of people, in the U.S. and abroad, believed to have the inside track on style, including designers, retailers, editors, socialites, photographers and entertainers. Amy Fine Collins, Aimee Bell and Rein-

aldo Herrera oversee the 71-year-old list, which the magazine inherited from the late fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert in 2004. This year marks Mrs. Obama’s fourth consecutive appearance, noting she has practically single-handedly revived arms, belts, cardigans, shifts, high hair and kitten-heel pumps, and it’s the third year for France’s Dior-wearing Carla BruniSarkozy. British first lady Samantha Cameron is making her debut, with the magazine pointing to her wardrobe full of brooches, bib necklaces and the labels Phillip Lim and Erdem. Fashion as a category is, of course, well represented with Tory Burch, Elber Albaz of Lanvin, Georgina Chapman of Marchesa, Stacey Bendet Eisner of Alice & Olivia, and Glamour editor in chief Cindi Leive making the cut, as well as Ralph Lauren’s three adult children, David, Dylan and Andrew. Royals have their style ambassadors in Princess Mary of Denmark and hall of famer Germany’s Princess Mafalda of Hesse.
