HIGH POINT – Police announced three arrests Friday in a double shooting that occurred at a Family Dollar store last week. Jerome Alphonso Gholson, 21, of Friddle Drive, April Yvette Patterson, 32, of Scientific Street and Dominique Alexander Williams, 24, also of Scientific Street, each face two counts of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury in the May 7 incident at the 802 S.

ness, according to police and court records. Two people in the store were wounded when a man went inside and began shooting. Malcolm Adams, 25, was shot in the left elbow and left side of his body, and Cherele Livingston, 21, was shot in the left knee, according to police. Both victims have
sounded like there was an argument and then (the suspect) opened fire. A lady who was in the store buying groceries was also hit. My understanding is that shots were fired outside as well.” Court officials said Gholson has prior convictions for drug possession and possession of a weapon on educational property, as well as numerous pending charges, including heroin trafficking, possession with intent to sell or deliver cocaine, resisting a public officer, communicating threats and multiple traffic-related infractions.

Patterson has one prior conviction – for misdemeanor assault, according to court officials. Guilford County District Court Judge Betty Brown kept both suspects’ bonds at $500,000. They remained at the Guilford County Jail in High Point Friday, as did Williams, whose bond was set at the same amount. Police said that detectives were not releasing the connection between the victims and the suspects or the reason for the shooting.

HIGH POINT – Oyster and shrimp dishes at Bimini’s Oyster Bar on N. Main Street used to run on special for half price some nights. A dozen oysters, regular $10.50, were offered for $5.25 on Tuesdays and Saturdays. A pound of shrimp, regular $18.95, was $9.50 on Wednesdays. Thanks to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, those specials won’t be offered again until the situation is resolved. “We’re having problems getting small shrimp now,” said Linda Buckner, manager of the restaurant. “We are worried, of course.” Restaurants in the area like Bimini’s are beginning to see their own troubles from the April 20 BP oil rig explosion and leaking oil pipe that already has led to an estimated spill of 4.6 million gallons of oil into the sea and continues to pour oil into the Gulf, crippling the ability of fishermen to bring in fresh catches. Bimini’s gets 90 percent of its oysters and shrimp from Gulf Coast suppliers, Buckner said. It received a note from a food supplier last week that caused some alarm. “The letter basically said they (the supplier) are waiting for the point where they won’t be able to get anymore oysters to us,” she said. Penny Menezakis, owner of Penny’s Restaurant in Jamestown, along with her husband, Alex, said their seafood suppliers this week raised prices for popcorn shrimp. The amount of popcorn shrimp delivered to customers is also being limited. “They told us they didn’t have enough popcorn shrimp to give to every restaurant, so everybody is going to get a little,” Menezakis said. Not all businesses involved in selling seafood report negative effects from the oil spill. Jung Park, owner of King’s Fish Mart on N. Main Street in High Point, said he gets most of his seafood from suppliers on the Atlantic Coast. Park sells flounder and grouper and more exotic fish in his shop such as Chilean sea bass. But even Park said he noticed that his supplier had raised the price of a gallon of oysters by $5 within a week.

say it, but it looks like we might have to if we are going to get charged more for the food.” Menezakis echoed the same concerns. “If the price (of seafood) gets higher, you have to raise the menu price,” she said. “I don’t know if we can do that now because the economy is so bad, and it won’t bring people in. It looks like it will be a loss for business.”
Democratic nominee will take on Republican Sen. Richard Burr in the Nov. 2 general election. Rep. Mel Watt, D-12th, earlier this year endorsed Chapel Hill attorney Ken Lewis in the Democratic Senate primary, which was held May 4. Lewis finished third in the six-candidate race. Watt, who represents parts of High Point in Congress, told The High Point Enterprise that he won’t make a runoff endorsement. “I’m not planning to endorse either candidate, but look forward to campaigning with the winner in the general election,” Watt said. Lewis hadn’t endorsed either Marshall or Cunningham as of Friday. An independent poll released this week shows the race between the two Democrats is a dead heat. Raleigh-based Public Policy Polling found that 36 percent of likely runoff voters each favor Marshall or Cunningham, who’s from Lexington. Marshall finished ahead of Cunningham by

Michael Hayes gets conditional release MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
WINSTON-SALEM – A Forsyth Superior Court judge ruled Friday that Michael Hayes, the man who killed four people and wounded five others in a shooting spree in 1988, be released, with conditions, from Dorthea Dix Hospital, Hayes’ attorney Karl Knudsen said.
According to the ruling, issued by Judge Steve Balog, Hayes’ release will be conditional. He must submit to random drug testing and searches. He can’t own any guns, and he is not allowed to come into Forsyth County. The conditions are in place in for a year. After a year, a judge will review whether Hayes
complied with the conditions. If at any time Hayes violates the conditions, he will have to return to Dix. Knudsen said it was unclear when Hayes will be released. The ruling comes after a two-day hearing last week, during which seven psychologists and psychiatrists testified that
Hayes no longer had the mental illness that led to the shooting spree along Old Salisbury Road and that he was not dangerous. A Forsyth County jury found Hayes not guilty by reason of insanity in 1989. Since then, he has been treated for mental illness at Dorothea Dix Hospital in Raleigh.
RALEIGH (AP) – Senate budget-writers unveiled draft proposals Friday to eliminate more health positions than Gov. Beverly Perdue recommended in next year’s North Carolina state government spending plan, while adding back funds she sought for local mental health agencies and selling state aircraft. Several budget subcommittees rolled out portions of the roughly $19 billion spending plan to adjust the second year of the two-year budget approved last summer. Four subcommittees that met agreed with Perdue to trim spending for dozens of agencies – with the deepest cuts coming in the Department of Health and Human Services, which makes up about one-fifth of the state budget. The reductions are designed to balance the spending plan starting July 1 to reflect a gap between revenues and expenditures of $800 million to $1 billion. Expected tax collections have been adjusted downward because the state

Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange, cochairman of the Senate’s justice and public safety budget subcommittee, suggesting the fat in agencies the panel monitors is gone. “We’re past bone. We’re cutting into bone.” The education subcommittee, which covers more than half the state budget, postponed its scheduled Friday morning meeting because senators are still working on details. All the subcommittees are expected to meet Monday to vote on their proposals, which will be consolidated into a $19 billion spending plan going to the full Senate later next week. Perdue offered her budget ideas last month. The House will take its own turn next month. The health and human services subcommittee draft report found $375 million in net reductions – about $11 million less than Perdue sought – to the $4.3 billion department budget slated to take effect July 1.

Marshall topped out at 36 percent, while Cunningham received 27 percent, according to N.C. State Board of Elections returns. The runoff is open to registered Democratic voters and unaffiliated voters
who cast ballots in the May 4 Democratic primary. Another Public Policy Polling survey released this week will hearten Democrats who want to unseat Burr. The poll found that Marshall trails Burr by one percentage point, while Cunningham trails the first-term Republican senator from WinstonSalem by five percentage points. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Official: No fraud found in Iraq’s election BAGHDAD – A full recount of votes for Baghdad province from Iraq’s parliamentary elections showed no fraud or major irregularities and is unlikely to change the vote’s final results, the country’s election commission said Friday. The original tally announced after the March 7 polls put secular and Sunni-backed candidate Ayad Allawi two seats ahead of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s Shiite coalition. Al-Maliki immediately challenged those results.
Search for 24 Russian miners delayed MOSCOW – Russian officials said Friday the search for 24 workers missing after a coal mine explosion won’t resume for a week, apparently eliminating hopes of finding them alive. Rescue operations at the Raspadskaya mine in western Siberia were suspended Thursday because of heavy concentrations of explosive methane and fires in the tunnels. On Friday, Emergencies Ministry official Pavel Plat said the methane couldn’t be reduced to safe levels.
Al-Qaida in Iraq chief vows bloody days BAGHDAD – Al-Qaida in Iraq’s new leader alNasser Lideen Allah Abu Suleiman warned Shiites on Friday that “dark days soaked with blood� lie ahead and that a new campaign of attacks was under way. Only days before the warning, Iraq was wracked by the worst attack this year, a series of coordinated bombings and assassinations that killed 119 people.
Diplomats: Iran expands enrichment facility VIENNA – Iran has set up new equipment that could let it produce more enriched uranium from a smaller amount of raw material, diplomats said Friday. The step could one day make it easier to produce a nuclear bomb and is likely to give the U.S. more leverage with Russia and China in its push for new U.N. sanctions on Iran. Moscow – which has softened its traditional opposition to sanctions in recent weeks – warned Iran that time was running out to avoid such punishment. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

The sports field was located in a majority Shiite neighborhood in the ethnically Turkomen town that has been repeatedly targeted by suicide bombers over the years.

to go where needed. They went without hesitation. Land, air and sea living and fighting in freezing bitter cold, scorching desert heat and jungles of uncertain dangers. Thomas Payne said it so well, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it.” Losing comrades in the line of duty, wounded, the POWs and MIAs along with their families, all cope with the wages of war. May God reward, bless them and keep their families in His care. I thank veterans, all who served and sacrificed in different ways. We are proud of them. The sacrifices of their heroism will not be forgotten. One nation under God with liberty and justice for all. Please come to Thomasville May 31.

The majority wants ‘Burger King religion’ Jesus Christ told the religious crowd of His day, “Ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” The majority today wants “Burger King religion” – have it your way – rather than coming God’s way. That approach won’t get one to heaven. Christ also said, “Except ye repent, ye shall likewise perish.” God is love personified – “God is love.” I John 4:86. The most well known verse in the Bible says, “For God so loved the world (mankind)...” John 3:16. The Song of Solomon gives a great picture of love. But God will never endorse nor condone that He has said is sin and abomination. Under the Mosaic Law, sodomites were to be stoned. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27. “... let God be true, but every man a liar...” Romans 3:4. Also, it would be great if busybodies outside Davidson County would let its residents determine whom they want for their elected officials. RAY ALCON High Point

Instead of 12 weeks to play 11 games, schools will, in 2012, have 11 possible playing dates.

The Times-News of Burlington, May 6 For the past few years, the organization that oversees high school athletics in this state has looked at ways to trim the escalating cost of high school athletics. And every year, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association decided to punt. Recently, though, they elected to go for it. From the stands, it looks like a good call. With a whiff or two of contention, the NCHSAA Board of Directors voted to shorten the high school football season by one week, start the winter sports schedule a week later and, most significantly, develop a playoff system that should eliminate expensive cross-state travel for early-round playoff games. The changes start with the 2012 season. Kent Byrd, a board member from the Alamance-Burlington School System, was among those who questioned whether shortening the football season would actually save money. Under the new format, the season would start the same week it does now. Instead of 12 weeks to play 11 games, schools will, in 2012, have 11 possible playing dates. It will result in the state championship games moving up a week. Teams have the option of forgoing the endowment game in favor of a bye week. Byrd might have a point. But there is no doubt that using a pod system for high school football playoffs will be a money saver. In December, Cummings High School faced a first-round playoff trip to Kill Devil Hills on the North Carolina Outer Banks, a round trip of 500-plus miles that school officials said cost $2,000 just to charter a bus. Under the new system, the East and West regions will be split into two geographically defined pods. That means higherseeded teams may meet in earlier rounds, but long trips would be eliminated. With government budgets stretched at every level and no immediate end in sight, the NCHSAA decided to act responsibly. We offer a hearty “Rah!”

The Vatican should have no immunity from justice
I
t surely seems that the Catholic Church is a hateful, hypocritical, criminal, evil syndicate that’s defiant of law and justice. Pope Benedict had the gall Thursday to express gratitude to those who opposed abortion and gays because, he said, they represent “some of the most insidious and dangerous threats to the common good today” – and not, say, the Catholic Church’s capacity to allow for the raping of little boys and girls by their clergy. Even after centuries of murder, warfare and genocide in its lust for money, power and control, the Catholic Church continues to be a scourge upon the planet. They preach that only they can speak for God and good and all that is right and moral. I imagine the victims of their priests would respond: “The hell you do.” Every rapist priest should be held accountable for their crimes and punished accordingly. Every Church representative, bishop and cardinal who assisted in covering up their crimes and obfuscated justice should be held accountable for their complicity and punished accordingly. In reality, the Catholic Church is not interested in justice. Recently in Connecticut, for example, bishops there urged Catholics to oppose a bill in the state legislature that would end the statute of limitations in cases involving sexual abuse of children. For the Church, child predators are protected but gays are “insidious and dangerous”? Pope Benedict is singling out gay people to be his scapegoats for the crimes he and his Church have committed. But it’s no surprise. The Vatican has been on a campaign for some time against homosexuals. Condemning homosexuality as a defect to be expunged from society, the Church hates gays and does so smiling. Last year, Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan proclaimed homosexuality was an “insult to God” and that “transsexuals and homosexuals will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” And last month, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state, stated “Many psychologists and psychiatrists have shown that there is no link between celibacy and
pedophilia but many others have shown, I have recently been told, that there is a relationship between homosexuality and pedophilia.” This, in defiance of all known medical and psychological evidence to the exact contrary regarding human sexuality, while simultaneously OPINION propagating the discredited lie that gay equals pedophile. Robert Catholic antigay propaganda Healy aside, Pope Benedict should be ■■■ brought up on charges of accessory after the fact for the countless lives ruined by his direct knowledge of and concealment of crimes committed against children, particularly in Germany, where numerous revelations have been made about children being molested, and the awful case in Wisconsin where hundreds of deaf children were sexually abused by their priest and reportedly was known at the highest levels of the Church hierarchy. That Joseph Ratzinger is now called Pope Benedict and is the leader of a country called The Vatican should not make either immune to prosecution, as both are implicated in these instances. And yet, immunity is exactly the argument that has been put forth by Vatican counsel. In Kentucky, a child sex abuse case is proceeding in which the Vatican is named as the sole defendant. The AP reported in March that Vatican attorneys are fighting the notion that the Vatican is liable for the crimes of priests, and claim Pope Benedict is immune from being questioned. The reasons given: “the pope has immunity as head of state, that American bishops who oversaw abusive priests weren’t employees of the Vatican, and that a 1962 document [“Crimes of Solicitation”] is not the “smoking gun” that provides proof of a cover-up.” Hateful, hypocritical, criminal, evil: the Pope and the Catholic Church. Prosecute them. ROBERT HEALY is a veteran of the U.S. Army and graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He lives in High Point. E-mail him at healycolumn@yahoo.com.

Israel to ban fishing in the Sea of Galilee JERUSALEM (AP) – The Israeli government is echoing the words of Jesus with a new ban – asking the fishermen of the Sea of Galilee to cast aside their nets. Jesus appealed to the fishermen to drop their work and follow him. The Israelis, however, have a more mundane reason – officials say a decade of overfishing has left the aquatic population of the biblical body of water in danger.
The fishing ban will be in effect for two years, but even afterward, no one is expecting modern times to follow biblical history, when Jesus directed fishermen to a spot where a “multitude of fish” nearly sank their boats. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Cabinet approved the ban last month. Oz Goffman of the Ministry of Agriculture said Thursday parliament must still approve the
measure before it takes effect. Israeli officials and scientists who study the freshwater lake hope the ban will allow the population of St. Peter’s fish, a local breed of tilapia popular with locals and tourists, as well as other species to regenerate their numbers. In announcing the moratorium, Netanyahu said fishermen would receive financial support while game officials
restocked the freshwater lake in northern Israel. “This worries me because I remember fishing there, and the fish were excellent,” Netanyahu told his Cabinet on April 18. Scientist Ilia Ostrovsky, who studies the lake and serves on the committee overseeing aquatic populations, said the fishermen of the Galilee began using nets with smaller and smaller mesh over the years.

Beware of Shortcuts And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Holy Way; the unclean shall not pass over it, and fools shall not err therein. R.S.V. Isaiah 35:8
Hatred Stirs Up Dissension, but Love Covers All Wrongs. Proverbs 10:12
It is human nature to want shortcuts, but they are often perilous. The longer route, the tried and true way, is usually the safer way. The story of the Donner party, the group of Americans going west to California in 1846 and 1847, is a tragic example of the danger of shortcuts. The leader of the Donner party, James Reed, even after being warned of the dangers of the shortcut, decided to risk it, and they ended up tragically losing almost half of their party, while all of the settlers who went the long way in that year's migration survived. The shortcut which they took, the so-called "Hastings Cutoff" was in actuality 125 miles longer than the usual route. As Virginia Reed, James Reed's daughter wrote to her cousin after the harrowing journey, "Never take no cutoffs and hurry along as fast as you can." It is a tragic story of mythic proportions with an important lesson. Shortcuts are often dangerous, and when it comes to the greatest things in life, there are no shortcuts. Excellence is invariably difficult and rare. There are no shortcuts to heaven. 540381

Negative campaigning does not always work P
rimary elections were filled with surprises. Some long-time office holders lost. Others held to offices they have occupied for many years, probably much too long. Our term limitations are controlled at the ballot box. To dismiss an incumbent often takes a gigantic effort. Throughout the country, we heard about negative campaigning. Political unrest is nothing new, but it may have never been as strong as it is today. It could be the result of things like these. Politicians have gone
holders in the national government and will not vote for those of the same party. Politicians, especially those in the U. S. Congress, have a very low approval rating. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it. Many are elected to office and continue for years who have few genuine qualifications. Voting the party line is not always the way to go. In most places, the turnout for the primary election WAS pitifully low. We turn the leadership of our communities, counties, states and nation over to unde-
deaf. They simply do not hear what their constituents are saying. Their SHARING past has finally THE SPIRIT caught up with them. Bill People do Ellis remember. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Old TV sound bites are quickly resurrected and unkept promises are played repeatedly on TV and radio. Voters may be disappointed in other office
serving and unqualified people who do not resemble leaders of intelligence and wisdom. There was one extremely negative campaign waged on behalf of a candidate who said he had not seen or heard any of the ads being run against his opponent and current office holder. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine. The highly ethical incumbent won. Negativity backfired. The nation needs higher-grade politicians. We have been burned and degraded by too many second- and third-rate men and women who
have found their way into politics. It is long past time that we have our best young women and men involved in the political process. Negative campaigning is nothing new. One well-known man, outstanding in very way, had the worst things said about him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is demon possessed. He is a sinner. He deceives people. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blasphemer, a glutton, a heavy drinker and in league with crooked tax collectors.â&#x20AC;? Negative
criticism, all untrue. His opponents tried to destroy him and he was never elected to office. That is what they said about Jesus Christ. However, he won the biggest prize of all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every nameâ&#x20AC;? (Philippians 2:9).

Pachomius, along with his brother John, built a small building and began to meditate on God. Eventually, others wanted to join them. In an attempt to accommodate to the solitary life these men were accustomed to, Pachomius decided that each one could keep his own possessions. Everyone was expected to contribute to the good of the whole community. Eventually, though, grumbling started, as many complained about the way Pachomius was running the community. He decided to abandon this idea. He disbanded the community and decided to use a new strategy. Since so many had complained
of the way he handled the community and the rules he had established, he decided to try a strategy which more people would like. He decided to use the bizarre strategy of making the rules even stricter. Whereas, before, he had allowed newcomers to retain their possessions and money, now he required for each person to give up all property and renounce their families. He decided that if people were going to focus on God, it would be at the cost of everything in their physical world. This new stricter community was phenomenally successful. At the time of his death, Pachomius was in charge of nine communities for men and two for women (run by his sister). Estimates range as high as 10,000 men and women who lived in these communities. So, whereas Pachomius had first tried to respond with simple rules and little requirements with those who wanted to join his community, he discovered that this bred complaining and disunity. Yet when he required more of people, when he demanded that they have a higher

achomius (290-346) was a man with a mission. He believed God wanted him to try something unique to Christianity, and, if he did, Christians would come. And come they did. But they soon became upset with Pachomiusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; requirements. So Pachomius started over with a different and bizarre strategy and amazing results ensued. Pachomius lived in Egypt during a time when living alone in the desert in order to totally focus on God was popular. Believing that living in society, either in a city or village, meant inviting distractions, thousands of people traveled into the desert. They built small structures or lived in caves, and focused on to God. Although Pachomius ended up in the desert, his early life gave no indication of it. At age 20, Pachomius was forced to join the Roman army and was shipped on the Nile to a Roman army base. While there, he was befriended by Christians who fed and cared for him; this experience of kindness changed his life and he became a Christian. After a time, he was released and was baptized soon afterward around the year 313. He decided to follow the example of so many others during this time, and so moved into the desert to focus on God. He met an older monk named Palamon and lived close to him for several years. One day Pachomius traveled

Laid-off workers receive extra assistance BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Workers at a closed furniture parts plant in east High Point will receive additional unemployment benefits under a federal program designed to help people whose jobs are lost to overseas production. The U.S. Department of Labor announced Friday
that former employees at Metal Creations Inc. are eligible to apply for help under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act. The High Point workers are among approximately 8,500 workers from companies in 13 states deemed eligible Friday, according to the Labor Department. The Metal Creations building on Armory Drive is vacant with a “for sale”
banner on its facade. The building is near the intersection of Kivett Drive and Interstate 85 Business Loop. Metal Creations had been open since 1981, according to information from the city of High Point business license office. The company had annual revenues of between $5 million and $10 million and employed from 20 to
49 workers, according to data through the business research service Manta. Metal Creations workers covered by the Trade Adjustment Assistance certification will be assisted by local job service representatives on how to apply for individual benefits and services. The benefits include job placement and training services, allowances that provide income support for
workers enrolled in training and health coverage tax credits, according to the Labor Department. The Trade Adjustment Assistance program, established by Congress in 1974, provides aid to workers who lose their jobs or whose hours of work and wages are reduced because of increased imports. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

This is one of several that the company brought to Guilford Technical Community College and used to train students on maintenance techniques.
Thomas Built Buses hosts annual maintenance workshop at GTCC BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
JAMESTOWN – Technicians and mechanics from as far south as Hawaii and as far north as Canada gathered in the Triad this week to learn about a product famous for being made in High Point – Thomas Built school buses. The second annual Thomas Built Institute was held at Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown where customers of High Point-based Thomas Built Buses practiced proper maintenance techniques. They also were taught about the new technology
of the company’s hybrid school bus that was released earlier this year. The event, which has about 100 attendees, began Tuesday and wraps up today. “It’s important for us to bring our customers here to High Point so they can see our products being built from the ground up,” said Mary Aufdemberg, marketing manager for the company. “A big part of it is maintenance and cost savings. We also want to ensure the technology of the buses is understood. That helps keep school children safe.” James Grimes traveled from
Baltimore to partake in the institute. Grimes is a technician at Maryland’s Baltimore County School System, a big customer for Thomas Built Buses. “We’re learning all about the new hybrid school buses and the government’s 2010 fuel emission rules,” he said. “The institute gives us the knowledge to do everything in house, so we don’t have to call on a dealership.” He also said educating technicians about the buses ensures safety for students. “That’s our main concern, a child’s safety,” he said. “When you’re a technician, you think of
the buses as if your own kids were riding them.” From a business perspective, Aufdemberg said holding the institute allows the company to build closer relationships with its customers. “Being a leader in the school bus industry, it isn’t just about selling buses,” she said. “We want the longevity with our customers. Also, safety is always at the forefront for students and technicians.” Thomas Built Buses is a 94 yearold-company and part of Germanbased Daimler AG.

Triad bail agents charged with breaking and entering ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
TRIAD – Eight Triad bail bondsmen face charges of breaking and entering, the N.C. Department of Insurance announced Thursday. Department investigators alleged that the bail agents were involved in an attempted apprehension in which they broke into a home without permission. One of the suspects also was charged with acting as a bondsman without a license. According to the department, five of the bondsmen were arrested and charged with one count each of breaking and entering: • Levi David Eplin, 22, 202 Exchange Place, Greensboro.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Florida spent about $1,200 to provide security for South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford when he visited to be with his Argentine lover, records show.

Not all azaleas are natives to our state Carolina Arboretum in Asheville. Azaleas are either species or hybrids. A ECOLOGY species is a population Gwyn that interRiddick breeds and â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; is reproductively isolated from other populations. Seedlings from such isolated species populations look like the parents or â&#x20AC;&#x153;grow true from seed.â&#x20AC;? Hybrids are crosses between other species or hybrids. Hybrids will not grow true from seed and may be reproduced only from cuttings, which are clones of the mother plant. So â&#x20AC;&#x153;cloningâ&#x20AC;? is not a bad word. Americans and others have hybridized azaleas for hundreds of years resulting in over 10,000 named or registered cultivars. In reality only a few hundred of these are actually grown widely in North Carolina landscapes, but the potential variety is endless. Our native North American deciduous species have colors you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in evergreen imports or hybrids. Deciduous flower
colors range from white to purple, pink, red, orange and yellow. Evergreen azaleas, native primarily to Japan, have flower colors including white and various shades of purple, pink, red and reddish orange, but not yellow or pure orange. Flower colors include single colors and bicolors as well as sectors, stripes and flecks. For many azalea varieties, all the flowers on the plant are similar. For other varieties, the flowers on the plant may be a mixture of color variations, with a different mixture from one year to the next. Right now I have two hybrid deciduous varieties blooming and they are both fragrant and spectacular. Mount St. Helens has deep red buds which open with large, fragrant rosy pink flowers that turn orange, red and yellow with age over a long (sometimes two weeks) bloom period. The foliage is mildew-resistant on a strong upright and tall growing Exbury hybrid shrub. Homebush is a Knap Hill hybrid that has semi-double, rose pink flowers in tight, ball-

shaped trusses that are most delightful. It is different and so attractive and one of the most popular azaleas growing to 7- to 8-feet tall. Azaleas grow best in slightly acidic (pH 5.5 to 6.0) soil that has plenty of organic matter and good drainage. Sites with partial afternoon shade are great even though some varieties can tolerate full sun. Azaleas will die in soggy clay soil. Such soil should be thoroughly tilled and amended with decayed pine bark, sawdust or decayed compost. Mature azaleas do not need fertilizer, but a light application of an azalea fertilizer applied in early spring can aid growth of young plants during the first two years. Our Piedmont farm has two native azaleas: Piedmont Azalea which is pink to white and fragrant and the Pinxterbloom azalea which can be deep pink to white and blooms from mid April to mid May.

T
he Southeastern United States and North Carolina in particular are great places to grow azaleas. The first of May is almost the peak blooming period for most of our azalea varieties grown in the Piedmont. Most azalea owners are familiar with evergreen azaleas that bloom profusely in the spring and keep their evergreen leaves all winter. But many folks donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow our real native azaleas. The evergreen natives come from all over the world with primary varieties coming from Japan, which has climate zones similar to North Carolina. Varieties commonly grown like Hino-Crimson, Hinodegiri, Satsuki, Higasa and Gumpo have origins in Japan. There are 17 azaleas native to the U.S., and all but two species are native to the Southeast, and all are deciduous which are not widely grown in America. As gardeners, Americans typically donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow our native plants but always seek non-natives in an attitude of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the grass is always greenerâ&#x20AC;? somewhere else.

Teen wants to escape unhappy life at home D
ear Abby: I am 13 and have been home-schooled for a few years, the but I hate it. My parents recently got a divorce after many years of trying to. Although I was used to the idea of their divorce, I cried when it happened. Mom asked me what was wrong and I told her. Her reply was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, grow up. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 13, not 5!â&#x20AC;? It showed me she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about my feelings. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why, but sometimes I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the reason behind my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; split. Also, I have no idea how to tell Mom I want to go to high school next year. I feel like my life is falling apart. What do I do? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tennessee Teen In Turmoil Dear Tennessee Teen: Regardless of how old a person is, when parents divorce it can be shocking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even if you saw it coming. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal to be sad about it, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make your burden harder to bear by feeling in any way guilty about the split. Children are seldom, if ever, the cause â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or even a factor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a divorce or separation. The circumstances that led your parents to separate are far more complex than they may appear on the surface. Your parents have probably been deeply hurt by each other.
Rarely is one party entirely to blame. Do not feel sorry for yourself or ashamed. ADVICE Divorce happens in Dear the best of Abby families. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Your motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction to your tears was regrettable. It may have been she felt defensive. Divorce can be an emotional roller coaster â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so be prepared for her to have mood swings and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t personalize it. (She may be having a bad day.) As to your attending high school rather than being home-schooled â&#x20AC;&#x201C;- a way to approach a discussion would be to tell your mother you would like to try it for â&#x20AC;&#x153;a while.â&#x20AC;? She may be more receptive than you think, because she may need to get a job or return to school to prepare for one. Dear Abby: I am a 22year-old college student. My boyfriend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jay,â&#x20AC;? and I have been together four years and plan to become engaged after school. The problem is, I have never told him my mom is a lesbian. She dresses like a man and wears her hair very short. I have always accepted her for who she is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or at least I thought so.
I have told Jay lies about my mom and dad being together when, in fact, they are not. My dad is deceased, and Mom has a girlfriend. I will graduate soon and Jay will be there. So will Mom and her girlfriend. I feel like I am losing my mind the closer that graduation comes. Jay is a wonderful person, but sometimes he can be judgmental. I have wanted to tell him the truth many times, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid of what he will think of me or have second thoughts about our relationship. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to find the words to tell him even when I try. Please help. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Keeping A Secret in Huntsville, Texas Dear Keeping A Secret: Here are the words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jay, there is something I need to tell you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been completely honest about.â&#x20AC;? Then tell him everything and do it before graduation, so he will have time to forgive you for not trusting him and being truthful about your background. He will probably be more upset about the deception than any impression your mother could make. If Jay loves you, the two of you will get past this. But if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not up to it, then your relationship wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant to be, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to accept it.

Today’s deal has something in common with the small town where I live. It’s a place where every face rhymes with every other, the beautyshop operator knows more than the newspaper editor – and nothing happens every minute. Against 3NT, West led the nine of spades, and dummy played low. East saw no need to make something happen: He played the ten to avoid giving South two spade tricks. What happened next was that South made an overtrick. He took the king and lost a club finesse. When East shifted to the ten of diamonds, South took the ace and ran his winners.
FIVE TRICKS It wasn’t a deal to sit back and let nothing happen. South will take nine tricks with the clubs unless the defenders get five first, so East must grab the first spade to shift to diamonds. East can’t beat 3NT with spade tricks. He must try diamonds before his king of clubs is gone, hoping West has diamond honors. Correct defense beats the contract. East-West get a spade, a club and three diamonds.

Don’t let a partnership that isn’t working get you down. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Being an expert of sorts will get you past some of the people you talk to today. However, expect someone to call your bluff at some point. Putting more time and effort into love and romance will bring better results and ease your stress. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Speak openly and honestly about what you want. Emotional setbacks will occur if you don’t convey an accurate assessment of your situation. Taking the right action can bring good results but trying to spare feelings or living a lie will lead to greater heartache. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Let your Leo charm lead the way. A humorous look at life will have everyone’s attention when you need to make a point or get something done. A challenge will allow you to show your strengths and test your skills. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t jump to conclusions. Hear what everyone has to say. Be observant and refrain from letting your thoughts be known. Although you are tempted to make some changes, do so for the right reasons. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You need to have some light- hearted fun that will take your mind off the pressure you’ve been feeling lately. Making some changes at home will also ease your stress and help you generate extra cash. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be enticed by someone’s promise of the impossible. Keep a tight lid on your cash, refusing to purchase items you don’t need. Love can cost you whether it’s spending to impress or spending to get out of a relationship gone sour. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Try not to lead anyone on. You may not want to hurt someone’s feelings but, at the same time, be honest, diplomatic and complimentary to ease out of a situation that doesn’t do it for you. Be consistent. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Listen, but proceed with caution. Use your past experience as a guide. You should be doing more from home as well as to your home. Talk with someone you trust with knowledge about an interest you have. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Making a residential move or fixing things up at home to better suit your current needs will make you feel better about your surroundings and your future. Love is in the stars and a relationship that means a lot to you will take a positive turn if you share your feelings. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Nip whatever appears to be spinning out of control. Emotional matters will escalate quickly. Don’t mix business with pleasure or you will be faced with someone who doesn’t approve of your lifestyle. ★★

It’s more than safe for you to exercise. It’s encouraged. Aerobic exercise is the kind of exercise you want to do. Aerobic exercise is exercise where large muscles, like the leg muscles, are constantly in motion for a fairly prolonged period of time. Ten minutes is the shortest time interval to qualify as aerobics. When you start out, you won’t be able to do a full 10 minutes. That’s OK. Work at this gradually. Examples of such exercise are brisk walking, jogging, biking, swimming and dancing. Your ultimate goal is to do 30 minutes of aerobic exercise a day. You can break those 30 minutes into three 10-minute sessions.

Wildcats show no mercy in Game 1
TOP SCORES

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
WINGATE – One of the biggest baseball games of the year ended in one of the most bizarre ways possible Friday night. Westchester Country Day School’s Joe Max Floyd hit an RBI single in the bottom of the fifth inning to give the Wildcats a 10-1 lead – then continued all the way around for a 10-run mercy-rule win after KerrVance Academy’s center fielder overran the ball once and bobbled it a second time. “At first I didn’t know he had missed it,” Floyd said. “When I got to third, I was breathing pretty heavily. I was going to slide head first to make it kind of dramatic, but...” The top-ranked Wildcats looked on in amazement as Floyd kept running in Game 1 of the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A Championship series. Westchester shoots for its first-ever baseball championship today at noon, with Game 3 – if necessary – set for 3 p.m. at Wingate University. “Oh, is gonna get an inside-theparker? The slowest guy on the team?” asked a laughing Markel Johnson. “I’m not the slowest guy on the team!” Floyd protested, still smiling. He was among the most important Friday. After pitching 32⁄3 innings in the Wildcats’ semifinal win early in the day, Floyd started against the Spartans (25-5) and held them to one unearned run on three hits. He walked one and struck out four. By putting an early end to the game, he also saved two innings for today’s mound corps, praised Westchester coach Joey Hammond. “That sense of urgency – if you have the ability to get the 10-run rule, you’ve got to try to go with that and save some pitching,” said Hammond, who expects either Zach Gilliland or D.J. Russ to start Game 2. Westchester (21-4) reached Chandler Loyd for three runs on a hit batter, two walks, a balk and sacrifice flies from Johnson and Russ in the second inning. It was 4-1 entering the fifth when Mickey Williard and Micah Hedgepeth singled to load the bases. Reliever Cameron Capell was greeted by a bases-clearing triple from Johnson: “All we needed was a big spark right there,” said the speedy center fielder. Mike Tufano’s RBI single and a hit from Russ then set the stage for Floyd’s long run. It’s been a marathon to this point for the Wildcats, but the finish line is in sight for the cautiously optimistic group. “You have to have amnesia right after this,” Floyd said. “It’s a new team tomorrow. This is it, though. It’s what we’ve been looking for all year.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Thomasville native Brian Vickers has been diagnosed with blood clots. He remains hospitalized and there is no timetable for his return to the NASCAR Cup Series.
Vickers diagnosed with blood clots
DOVER, Del (AP) – NASCAR driver Brian Vickers was hospitalized with blood clots in his legs and around his lungs that will prevent him from racing this weekend at Dover International Speedway. Red Bull Racing general manager Jay Frye said Vickers is on medication and was hopeful of being released from the hospital on Friday, but could remain there a few more days. Frye said there is “no timetable” for Vickers’ return. “He’s got great reason for optimism that everything’s going to be fine,” Frye said. Frye says Vickers complained of discomfort on his chest and went to a hospital in Washington. He says the team is not sure what caused the clots. The 26-year-old Vickers is in his seventh full season racing in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series.
He has two career Cup wins and made the 12-driver Chase for the championship last season. He’s currently ranked 20th in the standings. Missing a start almost certainly will make it impossible for Vickers to make the Chase this season. “It is a minor setback in a young man’s life and career,” Frye said. “Obviously, it’s a major setback for our race team this weekend.” Jimmie Johnson said Vickers sounded like his usual self when they spoke Thursday night. “There’s still a lot of question marks and concerns and trying to understand just what in the world is going on,” Johnson said. “Until they can find out what’s going on, there’s a lot of worry and concern.” Casey Mears will replace Vickers in the No. 83 Toyota. Frye said Mears will drive for RBR
for as long as the team needs him. Frye did not know if Mears would be allowed to drive for Vickers in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, if needed. Frye said even if Vickers was released before Sunday’s race, running at least one lap for points was not an option. Mears qualified for only two races this season. Sponsorship cutbacks cost him his job at Richard Childress Racing, which is not fielding the car Mears drove to a 21st-place finish in the 2009 final standings. He drove the first two months of the season for Keyed-Up Motorsports. Mears also drove in Tommy Baldwin’s No. 36 car and was on standby after Denny Hamlin had surgery to repair a torn ACL. He’ll drive weekto-week in the No. 36 as long as Baldwin can find funding for each race.

et’s face facts – the Preakness simply can’t measure up to the Kentucky Derby in terms of tradition and prestige. The Kentucky Derby stands first and foremost in the annals of horse racing, and always will. Still, the Preakness offers some pretty cool stuff befitting the second jewel of the triple crown. Did you know... •The official flower and the official drink of the Preakness is the Black-eyed Susan. The Black-eyed Susan is Maryland’s state flower. It’s probably a good thing the Preakness chose something other than the Maryland
state drink for its official beverage. Milk is the official drink of the state of Maryland, and it’s more closely associated with another May tradition – the Indianapolis 500. •The theme song for the Preakness is “Maryland, My Maryland.” I’ll grant you, it’s not “My Old Kentucky Home,” but give it a listen sometime. It’s not a bad little tune. •The Woodlawn Vase, the official trophy of the Preakness, boasts an interesting history. The trophy, which is 34 inches in height and weighs 29 pounds, 12 ounces, was created by Tiffany and Company in 1860 for R. Aitcheson Alexander as a trophy for the now defunct Woodlawn Racing Association in
Louisville. The trophy was buried during the Civil War years because its owners feared it would be confiscated and turned into shot. The trophy changed hands numerous times between 1866 and 1917, when it became the official trophy awarded to the Preakness winner to keep for a year, then hand over to the next winner. A half-size replica of the trophy is now awarded to the Preakness winner, who can keep it forever. Hope this little trot down the backstretch of trivia lane gets you ready for a great race today.

Super Saver poised to set up Triple Crown bid BALTIMORE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; No rail for Borail. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look for jockey Calvin Borel to be riding the rail in the Preakness. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so confident in Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even boasting the colt will win the Triple Crown â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come up with a new strategy. Borel expects todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race to be the opposite of the speed-crazed Derby, where his patented rail-hugging ride guided Super Saver to a 2 1â &#x201E;2-length victory in the slop.
If another horse wants to go to the lead, Borel can position Super Saver just off the pace. If not, he said he and his colt will take it to their 11 rivals after breaking from post No. 8. Super Saver has won races either on the lead or from a stalking position, giving Borel options in the 13â &#x201E;16-mile race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to ride him like I did the last time, on the fence, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe,â&#x20AC;? he said Friday. Super Saver is the early 5-2 favorite for the $1 million Preakness. If the colt can
back up Borelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bragging, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll set himself up for a Triple Crown try in three weeks in the Belmont Stakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This colt is starting to peak at the right time and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big, big plus,â&#x20AC;? Borel said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 32 years since Affirmed swept the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont to become horse racingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th Triple Crown winner. With females Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta dominating racing these days, the sport is hungry to anoint a king and capture public interest that wanes outside its major races.
Trainer Bob Baffert will saddle 3-1 second choice Lookin At Lucky, the beaten favorite who was compromised by starting on the rail in the Derby. This time, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in the No. 7 post â&#x20AC;&#x201C; right next to Super Saver â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with new rider Martin Garcia replacing Garrett Gomez. The Preakness has eight fewer starters than the Derby, making for less of a calvary charge. The forecast calls for sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s, ensuring Pimlicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dirt track will be fast. Post time is 6:15 p.m. EDT.
Falcons eliminate Southwest, 7-2 BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Southwest Guilford ran into a stiff opponent in the first round of the NCHSAA 4A playoffs Friday. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, Southeast Guilford marked the premature end to a stellar season. The Falcons notched a 7-2 win by accomplishing what most of Southwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponents could not this season. They defeated Cowboy pitcher Brock Hudgens. Hudgens battled through five innings, allowing five runs on seven hits while striking out seven. He was bested by Josh Tobias, who scattered five hits and two runs over seven innings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I congratulate Southeast Guil-
ford. They were the better team tonight,â&#x20AC;? Southwest coach Reid Holmes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough draw. You look up and down the pairings and there are just so many good teams in the 4A classification. Thirty-two teams are disappointed tonight. Unfortunately, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of them.â&#x20AC;? Southwest did not come up on the short end because they failed to produce opportunities for themselves. Despite allowing base runners in each of the first three innings, Tobias stranded seven Cowboys on the base paths. Southwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to capitalize allowed Southeast to hang around until the Falcons finally broke through. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge,â&#x20AC;? Elliott Slack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we break through in one of
those innings, we could have knocked him out. But he hit his spots. He threw it where he needed to. He pitched a great game.â&#x20AC;? With two out with runners on first and second in the Southeast fourth, Hudgens attempted to make a crucial play on a swinging bunt with the game tied 1-1. He fielded the ball cleanly, but his throw brought first baseman Matt Orthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot off the base â&#x20AC;&#x201C; allowing both the hitter to reach and a run to score all the way from second to break the tie. Hudgens struggled to put away Falcon hitters from that point forward, as Southeastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disciplined approach at the plate allowed the team to get a good look at the aceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full arsenal of pitches. The Falconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; patience paid huge dividends in the fifth when
Tiger Miller and Blake Butler fouled off pitch after pitch before reaching base. Miller walked and Butler followed with a two-run homer to deep left field. The Falcons added another run in the inning to claim a 5-1 cushion. The resilient Hudgens redeemed himself by leading off the bottom half of the fifth with a well-struck double that just missed clearing the fence. Orth narrowed the margin to 5-2 by driving Hudgens in with an RBI double in the following at-bat. Justin Reese tacked on insurance for the Falcons with a tworun double in the seventh inning, however, and enabled Tobias to slam the door shut in the sixth and seventh innings to seal the win for Southeast.

HIGH POINT – After watching perennial powerhouse and top seed Charlotte Christian fall in the first semifinal of the NCISAA 3A playoffs Friday at Finch Field, Wesleyan Christian Academy saw the window of opportunity swing wide open. The Trojans (16-7) answered the bell in game two by defeating Charlotte Country Day 6-1 to set up a best-of-three series with Forsyth Country Day. Wesleyan starter Bennett Hixson outdueled the Buccaneers’ William Frazier by throwing seven dominant innings of six-hit baseball. He allowed just one run and
struck out nine. “This team is the most overachieving team we’ve had here,” Wesleyan coach Scott Davis said. “They just don’t know they’re young.” The Trojans appeared to be playing loose from the start, scratching out three early runs off Charlotte’s ace. After mowing down the first three hitters he faced, Frazier ran into trouble in his second inning of work. A walk to catcher Chris Ferrante and a pair of bloop singles by Hixson and Casey Corn – who went 3-for-3 – loaded the bases in the second for Wesleyan. Ferrante scored on an error by the Buccaneers’ infield, followed by Hixson and Corn coming around to score on two
Kerr-Vance ousts HPCA BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
WINGATE – Corey Gesell took it all in from his spot in the third base coaching box. He liked what he saw and waved home Cameron Cecil. High Point Christian Academy’s senior first baseman went barreling down the line on a collision course with KerrVance Academy catcher Cameron Capell. Ball and player arrived at the plate in the same instant. “I knew it was going to be a close play, so I just tried to get under it,” Cecil said. “But he blocked the plate really well, tagged me right at the right time.” One inning later, the Cougars’ season was over. “I saw how far the shortstop was out in left field and I knew he would have to make an absolute perfect throw,” Gesell recalled. “At the high school level, are shortstops going to do that all the time? No. But he did this time. Those are the kinds of plays you need to make if you’re going to be a state champion.” Kerr-Vance still has that chance after topping HPCA 6-4 in Friday’s N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A semifinal. The Spartans advanced to play Westchester Country Day in the title series at Wingate University, while the defending state champion Cougars capped the season at 24-5.
Kerr-Vance (25-4) reached Andrew Barnett for a pair of runs in the first and three more in the third before HPCA rallied. It was 5-3 after the fourth inning following RBI singles for Cecil and Phillip Bullock. In the sixth, Andrew Shoemaker reached on a fielder’s choice ahead of Cecil’s RBI single. Jared Gesell then stroked a deep liner off Tyler Bolton. Kerr-Vance’s Patrick Stewart tracked toward the ball, slipped slightly and saw the ball hit his glove and drop to the grass. His relay throw found shortstop Chandler Loyd well beyond the infield dirt, but Loyd fired a high, hard strike to Capell at the plate. The Spartans added an insurance run in the top of the seventh, and HPCA went 1-2-3 in the bottom half. “Especially their top four hitters, they can hit the ball,” Barnett said. “I made a couple of mistakes and they made me pay for it.” Barnett and Cecil, two seniors who helped spark last year’s title run, will be lost to graduation along with Bullock, Matt Boles, Michael Gibson and Joseph Powell. “This year I just looked back and it was like, ‘I already have one state championship,’ “ Cecil said. “After you get out here – I thought about how cool it would be to have two. But even one is something not many people can say they have.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

TENNIS NCHSAA 4A CHAMPIONSHIPS RALEIGH – Southwest Guilford’s doubles team of Joel Shuford and Andrew Daniel saw their stellar season end with a N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A second-round loss on Friday at Millbrook Exchange Park. Shuford-Daniel defeated Wilmington Hoggard’s Phillip Bonner-Matt Johnson 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in round one, then dropped a 6-0, 6-0 decision to Millbrook’s Michael Allen-Michael Carmean in round two. In first-round singles play, Wilmington Laney’s A.J. Stilwell ousted Ragsdale’s Cameron Smith 6-3, 6-2.

NCHSAA 3A CHAMPIONSHIPS BURLINGTON – Ledford’s Landon Rogers fell 6-4, 6-2 to Lenoir Hibriten’s Huntley Nero in the first round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A championships on Friday at the Burlington Tennis Center. Players from Eastern Wayne, Charlotte Catholic, Weddington and Western Alamance advanced to this morning’s singles semifinals, while teams from Western Alamance, Marvin Ridge, Cardinal Gibbons and Morganton Patton advanced to this morning’s doubles semifinals.
well-placed bunts by Kyle Washam and Nathan Midkiff. “The kid we beat today is one of the top pitchers in the state,” said Davis. “We were able to get a few bunts down and scored six runs on them.” Despite Frazier’s reputation, Hixson that proved to be the best pitcher on the mound. The Buccaneers threatened in the bottom of the second with runners on second and third, but were unable to capitalize – stranding the runners to finish the inning trailing 3-1. Their only other chance to jump back in it came in the fifth, when a beautifully executed hit-and-run put runners on the corners for the Buccaneers’ cleanup hitter Justin Ide. Hixson masterfully
pitched his way out of the jam by striking out Ide for the third out to preserve the two-run lead and essentially the win. “We felt really good, real confident” Hixson said. “(The three early runs) were really big, helping me to relax and just throw strikes. The team really picked me up today.” Hixson did give the Trojans quite a scare when he developed cramps in the middle of the sixth. After a brief moment to stretch his legs, he returned to the mound and retired the side. He then did the same in the seventh to close out his complete game, after Wesleyan added three runs of insurance in the top half of the inning.
McLemore powers Westchester into finals BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
WINGATE – Devin McLemore leads the Westchester Country Day School baseball team in home runs. He turned the tide in Friday morning’s N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A semifinal with a bloop single to deep short. “Whatever gets the job done,” McLemore said with a smile. The Wildcats advanced into the bestof-three championship series – which opened Friday night and continues today at Wingate University – with a 10-5 victory over No. 4 seed SouthLake Christian. Top-ranked Westchester trailed 4-2 entering the decisive fifth frame. “It’s kind of been our M.O. the last couple weeks,” coach Joey Hammond said. “There’s a certain sense of having been there, coming from behind, and we have a lot of tremendous athletes who battle their rear ends off at the plate. I knew we had an opportunity to come back.” D.J. Russ and Joe Max Floyd con-
nected for one-out singles and Eagles pitcher Nathan Sharp hit Terrence Hearst to load the bases. In stepped McLemore. With the infield playing in rather than back for a double play, he got jammed but saw his blooper float into the outfield grass just beyond shortstop. Mickey Williard broke the 4-4 tie by driving home McLemore with a single to left. The Wildcats (20-4) added five more runs off reliever Jared Fortune in the sixth. Russ hit an RBI single, Hearst had a sacrifice fly, McLemore tripled to the gap and Micah Hedgepeth blooped a two-run single to center for the ninth and 10th runs. Floyd got the win for Westchester, entering in the fourth for Alex Embler, who had allowed six hits and four runs. Embler induced an inning-ending double play, then held the Eagles (24-8) to one run and one hit over the final three frames. “I knew we were going to be fine,” McLemore said. “We all believe in each other.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Data show solid recovery; concerns remain WASHINGTON (AP) – The economy is being boosted by higher retail sales, stronger factory output and a rise in companies’ stockpiles. That picture emerged from reports Friday pointing to an economy that’s improving modestly but steadily after the worst recession in decades. Yet the recovery needs stronger job creation, and it remains under pressure from fears that Europe’s debt crisis could slow the U.S. economy. “The decent gains in pay-

Nordstrom sees stronger sales, profit PORTLAND, Ore. – Nordstrom Inc. says its affluent clients remain cautious but are willing to shop more these days. The high-end retailer reported late Thursday that stronger sales drove its first-quarter net income up nearly 44 percent. Nordstrom raised its full-year outlook on the results. Nordstrom, based in Seattle, said it earned $116 million, or 52 cents per share, for the quarter. That’s up from $81 million, or 37 cents per share, in the same quarter last year.
Google to sell Nexus One phone offline SAN FRANCISCO – Google will close an online store that it set up to sell its Nexus One phone. The company will rely on traditional retailers instead. The shift announced Friday ends Google’s attempt to develop a new sales model for the mobile industry. Google had hoped to shake things up by establishing its online store as the only place to buy the Nexus One, which debuted amid fanfare in January. Google says it will stop selling the Nexus One in its Web store as soon as it lines up other U.S. retailers to carry the device.
EMI recording fends off foreclosure LOS ANGELES – British recording company EMI Group PLC said Friday it has raised enough cash to fend off foreclosure by its main lender, Citigroup. EMI, home of the Beatles, Lily Allen and Norah Jones, said that financier Guy Hands’ private equity firm, Terra Firma, intends to invest additional money in EMI so the company can stay in compliance with the terms of its debt. EMI Music Executive chairman Charles Allen said in a statement that the commitment was “a vote of confidence in EMI from Terra Firma and its investors.” ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

roll employment in recent months have improved the outlook for spending,” said Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics. But Dales said he expects a subpar recovery because of high unemployment, tight credit and still-high debt loads. Consumers drove retail sales up 0.4 percent last month. The gain was less than the 2.1 percent growth in March. But that surge was boosted by an early Easter holiday and auto incentives.
Shoppers are closely watched because their spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity. It rose in the first three months of this year at the fastest pace in three years, according to the Commerce Department report. Industrial production also climbed in April, posting an 0.8 percent gain. Factories, the biggest slice of industrial activity, ratcheted up output by a brisk 1 percent for a second straight month, the Federal Reserve report showed.
Officials ID big seller in market plunge DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Shares of money manager Waddell & Reed Financial Inc. fell Friday as it was identified as the stock trader that sold off a large number of index futures contracts during last Thursday’s market collapse. The company’s stock fell $1.81, or 5 percent, to $32.25, on a day when broader markets fell nearly 2 percent. Waddell’s sale of 75,000 e-mini futures contracts in a 20-minute span on May 6 drew the attention of regulators, Thomson Reuters reported. E-minis are tied to the value of the S&P 500 index. They’re traded electronically on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Overland Park, Kan.based Waddell & Reed, which provides mutual funds and asset management services, said its trading of e-mini contracts was part of its nor-
mal operation to protect fund investors from market risk. “The portfolio managers in those flexible portfolio funds often make hedging trades to attempt to protect shareholders from downside risk. And that’s what was happening in that case,” spokesman Roger Hoadley said. Waddell & Reed said it was one of more than 250 companies that traded e-mini securities as the stock market plunged. The Dow Jones industrials lost nearly 1,000 points, nearly a tenth of their value in less than half an hour. It was the biggest drop ever in a trading day. The Dow recovered two-thirds of the loss before the closing bell, but the free fall prompted close scrutiny of that day’s trading as regulators try to figure out what caused the selloff.
Oil settles below $72 a barrel THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oil prices have dropped to levels not seen since February. Crude tumbled with the stock market Friday, as investors worried that European economies would slow down and hurt the global economic recovery. In afternoon trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost about 200 points, or 2 percent. The NASDAQ and the S&P 500 were each off about 2.5 percent. Benchmark crude for June delivery lost $2.79, almost 4 percent, to settle at $71.61 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That’s down about 18 percent from the May 3 settlement of $87.15 a barrel, an 18-month high. Friday’s settlement price is the lowest since crude settled at $71.19 on Feb. 5. Analysts expect oil
prices will fluctuate for months in a volatile market created by plentiful oil supplies, sluggish demand and European financial woes that have weakened the euro and strengthened the dollar. Oil, like most commodities, is priced in dollars. A stronger dollar makes crude more expensive for overseas traders holding other currencies. “We’re going to see this type of price movement where we’ll spend several months clawing our way up 10 or 15 dollars and then in two or three weeks, we’ll give it all of it back again,” analyst Jim Ritterbusch of Ritterbusch and Associates said Friday. The Energy Department said this week that crude supplies in the U.S. rose by almost 2 million barrels and were well above the average range for this time of year.

NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks tumbled for a second day Friday after concerns grew that the deep spending cuts under Europe’s bailout plan would slow a global recovery. The Dow Jones industrial average ended down 163 points but closed well off its lows of the day. The Dow and other indexes posted big gains for the week after rocketing higher Monday on hopes that Europe’s emergency loan package would prevent a debt crisis in Greece from spreading. Enthusiasm about the plan wore off as the week went on. The drop in U.S. markets Friday followed a slide of more than 3 percent in European indexes. The euro dropped to a 19-month low against the dollar and is close to its lowest level in four years as confidence in Europe’s ability to contain its fiscal problems wanes. Investors seeking safety piled into Treasurys and the dollar. Gold settled lower after hitting another record. Crude oil sank nearly 4 percent, and an indicator of stock market volatility jumped. Currency traders have been moving out of the euro throughout the week because of concerns that cost-cutting measures in countries like Greece, Spain and Portugal would slow economic activity on the continent and elsewhere.

Court gives Dish a chance in TiVo patent lawsuit THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FILE | AP
Customers are seen in the main entrance of the new JCPenney store in the Manhattan Mall during the grand opening in New York. J.C. Penney Co. said Friday its first-quarter net income more than doubled as sales improved across most categories.
J.C. Penney joins retail profit party NEW YORK (AP) – J.C. Penney Co. finished a week of retail earnings reports that showed big improvements in sales and profits. But amid the gains, a string of muted outlooks fueled worries on Wall Street that the consumer comeback might not pick up steam. Penney reported Friday that its first-quarter net income more than doubled as shoppers spent more on a variety of merchandise, from shoes to men’s clothing. The retailer also raised its fullyear outlook, but even that didn’t impress investors, sending shares down more than 3 percent. Penney’s results mirrored a theme played out all week.
Nordstrom Inc., Kohl’s Corp. and Macy’s Inc. all saw shares fall for the week after posting big profit gains. Amid such positive earnings reports, why are the stocks doing so poorly? “I think Wall Street did get ahead of itself following March’s blowout,” said Ken Perkins, president of research firm RetailMetrics. “Retail management is trying to be cautious because they still don’t know if the jobs recovery is for real.” He also noted that the Greek debt crisis could throw a wrench into global growth. Wall Street’s earnings expectations had been rising since early this year but racheted up after March’s stellar sales increases, the biggest since
March 1999, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. April wasn’t quite as good, partly because of an earlier Easter, but it all added up to a solid spring. The Standard & Poor’s Retail SPDR, a basket of retail stocks, has risen more than 60 percent in the past year and 14 percent since the beginning of 2010, though it’s off its late April highs. Penney posted net income of $60 million, or 25 cents per share, for the quarter ended May 1. That compares with $25 million, or 11 cents per share, in the same period last year. Total revenue rose 1.2 percent to $3.93 billion. Revenue at stores open at least a year rose 1.3 percent.
A federal appeals court Friday granted Dish Network Corp. a full-court review of a ruling that threatened to force the satellite TV company to disable millions of its customers’ digital video recorders because of a patent dispute with TiVo Inc. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington gave
Dish a surprise chance for a better outcome in patent litigation that Dish has consistently lost to TiVo. Dish had asked for an “en banc” review of the case while CEO Charlie Ergen resisted paying TiVo damages that have mounted to about $400 million. Ergen had even said the appeals court was unlikely to grant the review. TiVo shares fell $7.23, or 42 percent, to $10.16.
Dish rose 94 cents, or 4.3 percent, to $22.90. But it’s uncertain whether Dish will eventually turn its loss into a victory, given that TiVo has prevailed in a series of other court rulings. “It just gives (Dish) another chance to come up to bat,” Sanford Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett wrote in an e-mail. “But that doesn’t mean that Dish will or won’t win.”
British Airways asks court to stop strikes LONDON (AP) – Facing a second wave of walkouts in its acrimonious dispute with its cabin crews, British Airways said Friday that it will seek a court injunction to stop any strikes. The company said it
believes the Unite union, which represents the cabin crews, did not comply with legal requirements in communications with its members. Legally, the union is required to send all eligible voters the exact breakdown of the
strike ballot results, BA said in a statement. The company said it would fight the “unjustified strike and the union’s cynical attempts to destroy our airline.” The union replied that it would be “vigorously” defend against the move.

Mother of slain boy may face murder rap AP
Sheri Lynn Davis was fired from a charter school after a cell phone video showed an alleged beating of a 13year-old.
Teacher apologizes for beating of student HOUSTON (AP) – A teacher who was recorded on cell phone video beating a student apologized Friday, saying she was “without excuse” for the attack on the 13-year-old. Science teacher Sheri Lynn Davis, who was fired by the charter school this week over the attack, said she regrets what happened and would act much differently if given the opportunity. “I apologize for the pain that the result of this situation has brought,” she said in a brief appearance at her lawyer’s office. “I apologize for this particular incident.” Davis took no questions about her attack on Isaiah Reagins at Jamie’s House Charter School, a Houston-area alternative school. Reagins suffered a black eye and other bruises in the attack. His mother, Alesha Johnson, filed a lawsuit Thursday against Davis and the school. Davis’ attorney, Chip Lewis, said he believed the lawsuit would bring to light problems at the school that led to the confrontation. He said she was forced to become “not only an educator but also a bouncer, an enforcement officer.” “There is a fundamental lack of security, of support and staffing for the teachers to provide a safe environment for these kids to learn in,” he said. “And there’s going to be a lot said about that.”

President Barack Obama (center) delivers remarks in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, on the ongoing effort to stop the BP oil spill Friday. With Obama are Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar (left) and Secretary of Energy Steven Chu.
Obama pledges permit review, end to cozy oil links WASHINGTON (AP) – Declaring himself as angry as the rest of the nation, President Barack Obama assailed oil drillers and his own administration Friday as he ordered extra scrutiny of drilling permits to head off any repeat of the sickening oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Engineers worked desperately to stop the leak that’s belching out at least 210,000 gallons of crude a day. As Louisiana wildlife officials reported huge tar balls littering a beach, BP PLC technicians la-
bored to accomplish an engineering feat a mile below the water surface. They were gingerly moving joysticks to guide deep-sea robots and thread a mile-long, 6-inch tube with a rubber stopper into the 21-inch pipe gushing oil from the ocean floor – a task one expert compared to stuffing a cork with a straw through it into a gushing soda bottle. It’s the latest scheme to stop the flow after all others have failed, more than three weeks since the oil rig explosion that
killed 11 workers and set off the disastrous leak. Obama, whose comments until now have been measured, heatedly condemned a “ridiculous spectacle” of oil executives shifting blame in congressional hearings and denounced a “cozy relationship” between their companies and the federal government. “I will not tolerate more finger-pointing or irresponsibility,” Obama said in the White House Rose Garden, flanked by members of his Cabinet.

(AP) – Afghan President Hamid Karzai capped a four-day U.S. visit on Friday by meeting American soldiers getting ready to fight in his country. Karzai visited Fort Campbell on the Tennessee-Kentucky border, home of the 101st Airborne Division. The post has already sent three brigades to Afghanistan and three more are expected to deploy this summer, for a total of about 20,000 troops. The visit follows Karzai’s stops with wounded
soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and a walk through Arlington Cemetery during his stay for talks in Washington D.C. Reporters were not allowed into Karzai’s meetings with soldiers. Maj. Gen. John F. Campbell, commander of the 101st Airborne, said Karzai chose to visit his troops because of their key role in the next six to 12 months in Afghanistan. Campbell said Karzai thanked troops and their families for their service in his country and met briefly with sol-

The southern province is the Taliban’s birthplace and where the military is seeking this summer to take control from insurgents. “He was able to talk
to those soldiers just before they boarded the aircraft, shake all their hands and thank them for their selfless service,” he said. This was the Afghan leader’s first trip to a U.S. military installation, according to Kelly DeWitt, a spokeswoman for Fort Campbell.
Space shuttle Atlantis soars on final voyage CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – Space shuttle Atlantis thundered away on its final voyage to orbit Friday, hoisting an experienced crew of six and a full shipment of space station gear. Atlantis sped through a perfectly clear afternoon sky, blazing a trail over the Atlantic before huge crowds eager to catch one of the few remaining shuttle launches. More than 40,000 guests – the biggest launch-day crowd in years – packed the Kennedy Space Center. The shuttle’s destination is the International Space Station, which was soaring over the South Pacific at the time of liftoff. The shuttle should catch up with the orbiting com-
plex and its six residents Sunday morning. A piece of orbiting junk, however, was threatening to come too close to the space station. If necessary, Mission Control will order up a maneuver so the station can dodge the debris the night before Atlantis’ arrival. The docking will not be delayed, even if the station has to move out of the way of the unidentified piece, NASA officials said. “Good luck, godspeed and have a little fun up there,” launch director Mike Leinbach told the astronauts just before liftoff. He said he was speaking on behalf of all those who have worked on Atlantis since construction began in 1980. “Like you said, there are
FARMINGTON, Utah (AP) – Prosecutors in Utah said Friday they may file murder charges against the mother of a 4year-old boy whose body was found in a canyon earlier this week. Searchers dug up Ethan Stacy’s badly beaten and disfigured body Tuesday, about 10 days after he arrived in Utah for a summer visit with his mother, Stephanie Sloop, 27. D a v i s County Attorney Troy Rawlings said Sloop and her husband, Nathanael Sloop, S. Sloop 31, will likely be charged with aggravated murder in the boy’s death. Before Friday, the possibility of murder charges had only been discussed for Nathanael Sloop. “We’re looking at aggravated murder – both defendants are suspects at this point,” Rawlings said. Police said Stephanie Sloop initially told officers her son had wandered away from her Layton apartment. But probable cause statements said Nathanael Sloop acknowledged beating the boy for days before his death on Sunday and Stephanie Sloop did nothing to stop it. After the boy died, Nathanael Stoop used a hammer to disfigure the boy’s face and teeth to keep him from being identified, then buried the body in a canyon, according to the documents.
NEW YORK – A U.S. law enforcement official says Times Square bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad told investigators he received cash at a meeting in a New York doughnut shop sometime before the May 1 botched bombing. Authorities retrieved surveillance video last week from the Dunkin’ Donuts shop in Ronkonkoma. The Long Island shop is at a commuter rail stop about 50 miles from Manhattan.

NEW YORK – Lawrence Taylor’s attorney says a woman has come forward as a defense witness in the NFL legend’s sexual assault case to say he did not rape a 16-yearold girl. The 23-year-old woman says in a sworn statement given to defense investigators that she accompanied the teen to the Holiday Inn north of New York City, where the girl was to meet Taylor. She said that the girl returned to the car after the meeting with Taylor with $300 cash, and told her that they did not have sex. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Barn dance gives boost to Randolph agency A
big double â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? to Archdale Mayor Bert Lance Stone. First, she provided me with a wonderful quote for the opening paragraph of this column, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a treasure we hold in our hands when we have the opportunity to impact the life of a young child.â&#x20AC;? Secondly, she is also responsible for inviting me to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stomp your feet. Clap your hands. Everybody ready for a Barnyard Danceâ&#x20AC;? fundraiser. This was the 2010 ABOUT Gala of the TOWN Children Mary and it was Bogest all for the children, The Randolph County Partnership for Children. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often have the good fortune to tell you about events or organizations in Randolph County and I love sharing good news with you. Plus to add to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;funâ&#x20AC;? and enchantment of this fundraiser, it was held at Kyle and Pattie Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farm in Trinity. So Bert Lance Stone â&#x20AC;Ś this one is for you. As I entered the gate at the Petty farm, I was awe struck by the green rolling hills as horses grazed. I just wanted to paint a painting! One of the pastures turned into a parking lot for the evening as patrons arrived in barnyard style with cowboy hats, boots and denim. The barn, as you may expect, is not your typical barn. Well, it is if your typical barn easily seats over 250 for dinner, has a dance floor, horse stalls turned into cozy alcoved sitting rooms, the Kyle Petty trophy room or 3,600 square yards of fabric draping the ceiling among the chandeliers. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Attendees of the gala tour the Trophy Room, which is located in the barn of Kyle and Pattie Petty. is based in Asheboro, for three years. She also chaired the event last year and told me that she first got interested in Randolph County Partnership for Children (RCPC) when she did a tour and became impassioned by her communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment in children up to 5 years old and their families so that these children will face a very bright future. What a wonderful and creative idea to have a barn dance as a fundraiser. Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that axiom from the Field of Dreams but with a twist, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you host (build) it, they (he) will come.â&#x20AC;? They came.

That would be the Pettysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; son Austin, who was one of the live auction items. Here is part of the description which also indicated that the winner bidder must be at least 21 years old. I caught up with Austin (who was a fast mover) and he was amused and perhaps a bit flattered as being describes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Randolph Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most eligible bachelor.â&#x20AC;? The winner (no word on who that was) enjoyed a dinner and a bottle of wine with â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most eligible bachelor.â&#x20AC;?

Heavy-duty Rams make big news ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NUTS & BOLTS
Sales of large pickup trucks were hard hit as the U.S. economy slowed. Regardless, auto manufacturers are introducing new heavy-duty trucks this year with many improvements. The first out are the 2010 heavy-duty Rams from Chrysler Group LLC, and for the first time, Ram 2500 and 3500 models are offered as crew cabs. With four regular doors and two rows of seats, crew cabs account for nearly half the truck market. Interior room is generous in the new big Ram truck, suspension is retuned and revised for a better ride, and the interior is quieter and has better-quality materials than earlier heavyduty Rams. Most importantly, the new Rams offer more capability, even though the engines are carry-overs from last year. And the diesel-powered 2010 Rams are the first in the segment with standard exhaust brakes that help prolong brake life and make traveling downhill with a heavy trailer a little less stressful. No wonder the new Rams are gathering awards. They were named

The new Rams offer more capability, even though the engines are carry-overs from last year. Truck of the Year by both Motor Trend magazine and the Rocky Mountain Automotive Press Association. Also of note: The Ram starting prices are a bit lower this year than comparable models for 2009. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $30,385 for a 2010 2500 ST regular cab with two-wheel drive and Hemi V-8. The lowest retail price
for a 2010 heavy-duty Ram with four-wheel drive is $33,590 for a 2500 regular cab model. The new heavy-duty Ram crew cabs carry a starting retail price of $31,415 for a 2010 2500 ST with two-wheel drive, a short pickup bed and Hemi V-8. The lowest starting retail price for a four-wheel drive heavy-duty Ram crew cab is $34,810, while the highly prized heavy-duty Ram with Cummins turbo-die-
sel starts at $37,850 with two-wheel drive, a short bed and manual transmission. The starting retail price is $39,435 for the turbodiesel with automatic transmission in the crew cab model. Competition is stiff in this work-truck market, and even with the price adjustments that Chrysler made for 2010, shoppers can find lower starting retail prices for some other new big trucks. For example, the 2011
Ford F250 Super Duty regular cab truck has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $28,995 with two-wheel drive and a V-8. The lowest retail price for a 2011 F250 Super Duty with turbodiesel engine is $36,730. Note that the Ram no longer carries the Dodge label. Chrysler officials decided that Ram can stand on its own as a brand. But the trucks are still sold at Dodge dealerships. There’s no doubt that in

sheer size, stance and styling, the Ram heavy-duty trucks are impressive. The test vehicle, a 2500 SLT Crew Cab 4X4, is 6.5 feet tall and 6.6 feet wide, and couldn’t fit in my garage. The front look is distinctively like that of a big semi-hauler, but for this year the grille and front bumper are bigger and the hood is restyled and sits higher.

Neighborhood Stabilization Program offers chance
A
s I’ve been speaking with buyers since the tax credit has expired, there still seems to be a mood among buyers of having missed the boat (opportunity). Some buyers seem to be having a hard time moving on with the buying process. This week, I thought I would bring your attention back to an incredible opportunity that still exists in the marketplace called the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. As you may recall from one of my earlier columns, the city of High Point was awarded a grant of $2.625 million to be used to stabilize communities affected by foreclosure. The city of High Point’s application for this grant received the 6th highest in the state and only 11 of 23 ap-
Realtor company supports local arts programs SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
CHARLOTTE – Allen Tate Company recently contributed $46,000 to local arts, science and cultural organizations across the Carolinas, as part of the company’s annual Cultural Campaign. Since 2003, Allen Tate Realtors and employees have contributed more than $775,000 to arts and cultural organizations in the Charlotte, Triad, Triangle and Upstate South Carolina regions. Allen Tate Realtors leads the Carolinas in listings and sales volume.
plications were funded. Using this grant, the city put together a program whereby a first-time homebuyer can purREAL ESTATE chase a foreclosure using down Ken payment assisWall tance, provided ■■■ by the city. To be eligible for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, the purchaser must: • Have not owned a home in the last three years • Be purchasing a foreclosed property located in the city of High Point, in zip codes 27260, 27262, or 27265 • Invest $500 of their own funds in the purchase • Not earn more than 100
percent of AFMI (Area Family Median Income). First-time homebuyers could also be eligible to receive renovation funds to fix up the property. These funds come in the form of a forgiveable loan, as long as the buyer lives in the property for a certain number of years (determined by the amount of funds received). They would not have to repay this loan. There would also be no payments due on this renovation loan during the time that the buyer lives in this house. As long as the property is a foreclosure and is located in the eligible zip codes, the renovation loan can provide up to $20,000 for repairs to be used for items such as: • New roofs • Electrical/plumbing
• Heating/air conditioning units • Carpet, painting, vinyl siding, etc. As you can see, this is an incredible opportunity for anyone looking to purchase a foreclosure in the city of High Point. Your local Realtor can assist you in locating properties that qualify for this exciting program. Ken Wall is president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors, one of more than 1,800 local boards and associations nationwide that comprise the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The association is an advocate for property rights and the “Voice of Real Estate” in the Triad area of North Carolina. HPRAR represents more than 700 members in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industry.

How to keep emotion from spoiling your sale T
he mother of two was already heartbroken over the breakup of her marriage when she was clobbered by another setback: breast cancer. The two misfortunes combined to cause her finances to deteriorate. Now to pay her bills she must sell the townhouse where she’s lived for years. She hates having to sell, especially while she’s undergoing radiation treatments. She’s taking her real estate agent’s suggestions about her decor as personal affronts. Also, she’s angry when her agent suggests she should cut her list price. Because of her reactions, her property has languished unsold for months. This story points to a common problem confronted by homeowners who must sell against their will: strong emotional responses with the potential to torpedo a sale. “Selling a house can be an emotional roller coaster. But you have to manage those feelings and face facts or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” says Sid Davis, a real estate broker and author of “A Survival Guide to Selling a Home.” Are you heading into a property sale and want to be sure strong emotions don’t sabotage a deal? If so, these pointers could prove useful: • Find an empathic listing agent. Ronald Phipps, a real estate broker and president- elect of the National Association of Realtors (www.realtor. org), says that for home sellers, “feeling frustrated and angry is very common.” However, he says it’s better to acknowledge your reactions than to deny they exist.
He says it’s rare for homeowners to require counseling to cope with home-selling emotions. But by choosing a listing agent with a compassionate side, you’re more likely to find a healthy SMART MOVES acknowledgement for your feelings, which can Ellen help you move forward. Martin • Seek objective infor■■■ mation to stay focused. As they approach a sale, many homeowners start collecting advice from friends and neighbors who offer opinions on pricing and the upgrades their place needs. But Phipps says these opinions are often based on unreliable reports and erroneous information. He also recommends that home sellers not look to “automated evaluations” of a property’s worth to reach conclusions on how to price. Such valuations typically come from Internet sources, including Zillow (www.zillow.com). While such information can be helpful as a general guide, it’s hardly the perfect tool for deciding how much to ask. Before choosing a listing agent, Phipps urges sellers to contact at least two, preferably three experienced agents who have an established track record selling homes in their immediate neighborhood. Ask each to provide a recommendation on the list price, known as a “comparative market analysis,” and to present factual data on recent market sales to back this up. With facts and the views of veteran
agents in your area, Phipps says, you stand a better chance of resisting the kind of emotional thinking that could cause you to overprice your property, which can badly hurt your sale. • Don’t take your listing agent’s suggestions for upgrades as criticisms. A strong real estate agent will be candid with you about all the changes needed to maximize your sale. Unfor-
‘Selling a house can be an emotional roller coaster. But you have to manage those feelings and face facts or you’ll only end up hurting yourself.’ Sid Davis Broker tunately, many involuntary sellers who already feel unhappy about their predicament may take their agent’s comments as insulting, Phipps says. He urges sellers to take a serious look at the checklist given to them by their listing agent and to follow as many of the suggestions as they can afford, including any repairs needed to make the home fully functional, such as fixing a leaky roof and replacing a nonfunctional dishwasher. Presenting your home with a neutral decor and in saleable condition is
especially important if you’re located in a neighborhood where For Sale homes are numerous and buyers dominate. “Nowadays, people come to the market with turnkey expectations. They’re very short on cash for improvements. And they expect the house they buy to be in as good a condition as a brandnew one,” Phipps says. • Don’t automatically reject low offers from bidders. If you live in a neighborhood where owners are letting their homes go for less than they could have gotten two to three years ago, you may be unsympathetic with bargain- minded prospects who offer you less than your list price. However, Davis says that nowadays it’s usually a mistake to rebuff a low bid without making a counter offer. “Almost nobody comes in with a full price offer anymore. They expect you to counter their bid and will often pay more if you do,” he says. People who must sell against their will sometimes view buyers very unfavorably. But Davis says that would-be purchasers have their own angst when they’re planning to buy in the current real estate market, which remains potentially volatile. “Lots of buyers are flying blind now. They don’t know what to offer for a home and are scared of overpaying. So to be safe, many come in at a low starting bid. Put yourself in their position and don’t take their actions personally,” he says. To contact Ellen James Martin, e-mail her at ellenjamesmartin gmail.com.
