SCORCHING HEAT STAYING COOL
–
Local air conditioning service providers offer these tips to stay cool during a heat wave: • Keep windows and blinds shut so that no direct sunlight enters a room. • Change air filters often and check them every 30 days. • Cut back weeds or vines that grow on outside air conditioning units. Overgrown weeds can cause the unit to malfunction. • Pick a temperature on which to the leave the thermostat. Don’t adjust the temperature throughout the day.

Job market looks bleak for teens

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – Most everyone looking for work in the past two years has hit multiple bumps in the road on the search for a new job, and teenagers looking for work this summer may travel a rocky road as well. According to data from the Current Population Survey, conducted each month by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the North Carolina unemployment rate for 16- to 19-yearolds in the labor force was 27.7 in May. The rate was down slightly from 28 percent in April but up from 22.9 percent at the same time last year. While the survey is only a snapshot of 1,500 households in the state, it is the only survey that produces an age-specific unemployment rate, and it may signal a long, jobless summer for some teens, said Larry Parker, N.C. Employment Security Commission spokesman. “Employer hiring just isn’t coming back to the level it was at pre-recession,” Parker said. “If teens are looking for a (summer) job now, they’re kind of late in getting out there.” High Point Parks and Recreation is a popular destination for young workers during the summer, said Allen Oliver, parks and recreation director. Parks in the area hired numerous applicants earlier this spring, but they also had to turn many away.

Riding is Michael Danley, 3, with his mother Judy Danley. “We’ve restricted some part-time positions due to budget cuts,” Oliver said. “We cut eight part-time maintenance worker positions this summer, but we always hire a lot of lifeguards and camp counselors.” Gary Pressley, a senior parks supervisor for Oak Hollow Lake, which includes the marina and campground, and City Lake Park, said the office received a large number of applications this spring. About 200 applications were sent in for non-lifeguard positions, while about 20 of those applicants were hired, Pressley said. Also, approximately 22 out of 50 lifeguard applicants were hired at the facilities. “We have had a lot of
people apply who are traditionally not looking for summer jobs because they’ve been out of work for a while,” Pressley said. The trend also can been seen at the Putt Putt Fun Center on N. Main Street, where teenagers often find summer jobs. “A lot of young teens will start applying here around their sophomore year (in high school),” said manager Heather Stone. “Recently, we’ve had a lot of applicants in their 20s.” While older applicants who have been out of jobs for extended periods of time may partially account for a shortage of jobs for teens, Parker still attributes the problem to major job cuts and an overall lack of job creation.

Tax hike plan draws residents’ ire BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
ASHEBORO – Residents packed the Randolph County Board of Commissioners meeting room Monday to express their displeasure concerning the county’s proposal of a 9.1-cent property tax increase. More than a dozen residents, including Archdale resident Iris Goins, spoke during the public hearing on the proposed budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year. The meeting consisted of some heated moments, with residents threatening to vote the commissioners out if they raised taxes. Before addressing commissioners, Goins submitted a petition of 385 signatures from residents who
are against a tax increase. “I feel that we as taxpayers have to cut back and really have to watch our money and watch our pennies,” Goins said. “Times are tough. People are losing jobs. This is just ridiculous – a 9.1-cent per $100 value (increase).” Currently, Randolph County currently has a tax rate of 55.5 cents per $100 valuation, according to county officials. Randolph County has the 34th lowest property tax rate of the 100 counties in North Carolina. Franklinville resident Donald Chapman told commissioners there would be more foreclosures in Randolph County if they raised the property tax rate. He suggested the county look at pay cuts for staff – a move that other residents sug-
gested during the public hearing. Roger Yates of Asheboro said a property tax increase could hurt economic development. “I think this is detrimental to attracting any new businesses to our county,” he said. “If I were going to locate a business in any county, I’d be looking at the tax rate.” According to William Massie, the county’s assistant manager/finance officer, the property tax rate is needed in order to eliminate the use of reserves. Faced with a deficit last year, commissioners decided to use $7.4 million of the fund balance to prevent a property tax rate. The construction of Providence Grove and Wheatmore high schools among other school projects in the county in recent years also has

caused county staff to propose a property tax rate increase. Darrell Frye, the board’s vice chairman, said commissioners will look at using the fund balance again. He also said the county’s financial plan for the 2010-11 fiscal year depends on how much the state allots for debt for schools. With the use of the fund balance, he believes commissioners could set the increase at around 4 cents instead of the original proposal. “We are not through with this budget,” Frye said. “There will not be a 9-cent tax increase.” Commissioners are expected to consider their budget at 6 p.m. Monday night. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Storm knocks out power
Ceiling falls on worshippers during service MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – A thunderstorm that swept through the Triad put thousands in the dark Monday afternoon. According to Larry Hopkins, High Point electric operations engineer, the English Road substation took a direct lightning strike just after 4 p.m. Monday afternoon that knocked out power to roughly 5,500 customers across a wide swath – stretching from Westchester Drive north of downtown to Burton Avenue in the western part of the city. Hopkins said the lightning strike didn’t damage the equipment. “The protective relaying did its job,” Hopkins said. Power was restored just after 5 p.m. “We just had to reset and re-energize,” he said. Duke Energy reported 424 residents in Guilford, Randolph and Davidson counties without power as of 10 p.m. Monday.
HICKORY – A morning service was interrupted Sunday as a portion of the roof collapsed at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church. None of the congregation was seriously hurt, but 12 people were taken to area hospitals. The ceiling fell on people sitting in the rear of the church. “Somebody said the ceiling is falling,” said church member Charlotte Scott, who was sitting near the front. “People were screaming. All you could see was dust.” Keturah Whittington said her mother was

SC candidate protests primary loss to mystery Democrat COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – A U.S. Senate candidate asked for a new Democratic primary Monday after he lost last week to an unemployed military veteran who raised no money and had no signs and no ads. The Democratic Party’s 92-member executive committee plans a hearing Thursday on former state lawmaker Vic Rawl’s protest and could order the primary results overturned. State party leaders can’t remember that ever happening before. Rawl could also appeal to the state Supreme Court. Pundits have been puzzled since Alvin Greene, a 32-year-old political unknown, defeated Rawl in the primary to see who would face GOP U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint, the heavy favorite in the fall. Greene won with 59 percent of the vote to 41 percent for Rawl. Rawl, now a Charleston County council member, says he campaigned statewide, put 17,000 miles on his car and, in the days before the primary, sent out hundreds of thousands of e-mails and automated phone calls seeking voter support. Greene claims he trav-

Air Conditioning on Burton Avenue in High Point. “We’re answering phone calls all day long.” The high temperatures, which usually average in the low to mid-80s during this time of the year, crept in last week and reached a high of 92 on Monday, according to the National Weather Service in Raleigh. Temperatures are expected slowly to drop throughout the rest of the week. Eanes said that 90 degree temperatures in particular may cause problems for those who are trying to stay cool. “People are beginning to turn the air conditioning on full blast now that it’s this hot,” she said. “That’s when they’ll start to notice the problems. We’re trying to take care of everyone because we know how miserable it can be to be hot.” But the heat can cause problems for service providers as well and their employees who work overtime to handle the influx of calls. “We usually take care

Cowardly bullfighter: Mexican matador flees MEXICO CITY (AP) – The bull charged and matador Christian Hernandez took off – across the ring, over the wall and into controversy. The admittedly terrified torero was arrested after Sunday’s botched bullfight at the Plaza Mexico, apparently for breach of contract, local media reported Monday.
He was released after paying a fine. “There are some things you must be aware of about yourself,” the 22year-old Mexican matador said in a television interview. “I didn’t have the ability, this is not my thing.” In a sight rarely seen in the bravado world of bullfighting, Her-
nandez made a spin with his red cape at the charging bull, then ran across the ring and leapt headlong over the wall to safety, dropping his cape in the process. The crowd hooted in derision. Several months ago, another bull grievously gored Hernandez in the leg.

of our existing customers first when it gets this hot and don’t take any new customers,” said Herman Hunter Jr., owner of Hunter Heating and Air Conditioning on W. Ward Avenue. “Sometimes our guys work around 10 hours, but we try to let them stop at a decent hour. If you work beyond that, it’s just too much.” Hunter recommends taking care of an outside unit year round by cutting back weeds and vines that may grow over it as a preventative step. He also said filters should be checked regularly and thermostats should be left on one temperature rather than being adjusted several times throughout the day. But until temperatures cool down outside and units are serviced, Eanes expects service providers will stay busy. “We had a few hot weeks before this one, so we’re probably now in the middle of our busy season,” she said.

Steps lead up to the front of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church on First Street. The double doors at the front of the church open up to an entryway and another set of doors that lead into the chapel, Whittington said. It is just on the other side of the second set of doors that part of the ceiling fell in.

Congressman apologizes for behavior in video
Police department loses accreditation MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
HILLSBOROUGH – The local police department has surrendered its accreditation because of inadequate record-keeping under former Police Chief Clarence Birkhead. Hillsborough’s had been one of only 28 accredited municipal police departments in the state. The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies first recognized the department in 2004 and then renewed its accreditation in 2007 after Birkhead had taken the helm. The department started the triennial accreditation process again last fall with a “mock” as-
sessment recommended by CALEA. That assessment found required reports missing from files, prompting Birkhead to delay the true accreditation inspection that was scheduled for April. Town Manager Eric Peterson had hoped to shore up the records in time for an on-site inspection this August but now says that is impossible. CALEA is unlikely to grant another extension and has questions about the veracity of all records after some were backdated to show compliance under Birkhead’s watch, according to a press release from Town Hall. Birkhead has said he followed the advice of an employee who managed the department’s accreditation files.
RALEIGH (AP) – A Democratic congressman apologized Monday after video posted online showed him swatting at the camera, demanding that two men taping him identify themselves and grabbing one of them by the wrist and neck. “I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction and I apologize to all involved,” Rep. Bob Etheridge of North Carolina said in a statement. “No matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become, this AP does not justify a poor reU.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge issues his public apology at a sponse.” The video was posted news conference in Raleigh on Monday after a video posted online showed him swatting at a video camera on websites owned by Anand demanding that two men taping him with it identify drew Breitbart, the conser-
vative Web entrepreneur who also released video of workers for the community organizing group ACORN counseling actors posing as a pimp and prostitute. It shows two men approaching Etheridge with a camera on a Washington street. He swats at the camera and repeatedly asks the men who they are. When they say they are students, he grabs one by the wrist and quickly by the back of the neck before pulling him against his side. Etheridge, a congressman in the state since 1997, reiterated his apology at a hastily called news conference Monday afternoon.

Give teachers the freedom to achieve results The New York Times posted an article on June 10 about teachers cheating on state and national tests. All the responsibility for student achievement is placed on the teacher when the truth is that the home is where learning is first fostered, and where it continues to be fostered. If the responsible adults in a student’s life see no reason to bother with learning, they will not be supportive of their children’s education, so the children have no foundation from which the teacher can build. The home is the center of learning, and there is little a teacher can do to counteract its influence. There have been a few exceptions to this rule, but the rule still stands. The teacher also cannot be responsible for the attitude of students who use failure as a means to achieve status with certain peer groups, or for the debilitating emotional trauma of students who suffer abuses of which the teacher knows nothing, or for the attitude of the students who feel the world owes them a living and so they don’t need to worry about education. Let us not leave out that our teachers also deal with non-English speaking students in every school in every state. We have placed a burden on our teachers

that is too hard for them to bear. There needs to be reform made in our educational system, but not at the expense of the teachers. They do their job imparting knowledge to those who will learn; they just can’t do the things asked of them that do not fall under their real job description. Free teachers to do their job by cleaning up the classroom, organizing the classroom, and providing proper classroom environments, and then teachers can achieve without feeling the need to cheat.

How does Obama think he gets the power to do this? Where in the Constitution does it give the president of the United States the authority to seize and transfer assets (namely bondholder’s rights) of General Motors and Chrysler to the unions in their bankruptcies directed by the Obama administration? Where does it give him the right to shut down offshore drilling on a recommendation supported
with the following note: “The recommendation contained in this report have been peer-reviewed by seven experts identified by the National Academy of Engineering.” (Source: “Drilling Bits of Fiction,” The Wall Street Journal, June 10, 2010, page A20.) It appears that the National Academy of Engineering denied that they made this recommendation. Why is it that the Obama administration cannot seem to get it right and has to fabricate another “lie”? Also, where does the president get the authority and/or the gall to ask for BP to pay the wages of those workers that have lost their jobs because of the Obama administration “blanket moratorium” on drilling, and now he wants to further punish BP? There is something blatantly wrong with the policies and practices being orchestrated by this administration! Since the administration made the decision to shut down the industry, the U.S. taxpayer should foot the bill. Maybe then, this administration would make some more sensible polices that are good for the taxpayers. Obama should ask for the resignation of the person who made up the “lie”
regarding the note of recommendation. While Barack Obama taught constitutional law at Harvard, he obviously didn’t understand it, as this article will attest! When we finally get the bill for the Gulf after he bankrupts BP, I hope we have congressional hearings on how poorly Barack Obama handled the Gulf crisis! He likes to “demonize” everyone that disagrees with him, so to help him along on making better policies, maybe we should begin impeachment proceedings! LARRY R. COCHRANE High Point

lanning and training for responses to potential emergency situations will cost time and money.

fall. No, it’s not ACC action, but it’s still college football. The 2010 Furniture City Gridiron Classic will feature the Winston-Salem State University Rams against the Virginia Union Panthers at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 28 at Simeon Stadium. While it came about partly because WSSU needed a venue for that particular date to comply with NCAA Division II’s 10-game schedule requirement, it’s a plus for High Point. Those responsible for bringing the game to Simeon Stadium also are hopeful it can be an annual start-of-the-season event. High Point College (now University) played its last game in High Point in 1950, using Albion Millis Stadium. Hats off to William “Bill” Hayes, WSSU athletic director, and High Point community leaders Ed Price and Ray McAllister and their committee (Mike Starn, publisher of The High Point Enterprise, is a committee member) for arranging the game. WSSU needed a 10th opponent, Virginia Union wanted to play Aug. 28 and Bowman Gray Stadium was reserved for that date, giving High Point the opportunity to be host. The event not only brings college football back to High Point but paves the way for continued cooperation between WSSU and the greater High Point community. That could be a win-win situation.

Statistical malpractice uses multipliers to compound error
A
s the General Assembly continues to fashion the state’s 2010-11 budget, spending lobbies are employing all the usual tactics to defend their jobs, incomes, grants and contracts. These tactics include public statements, private meetings, press releases, e-mail blasts and statistical malpractice. I thought I might get your attention with that last phrase. When budgets get tight, people start playing loose and fast with the basic facts of public finance. Costs become benefits. Small-than-expected increases become cuts. In my experience, the worst offenses occur right after someone utters the magic phrase “multiplier effect.” There’s no question that the purchase of a good or service has secondary effects on private incomes. Every hamburger you buy puts money into the pockets not just of the employees of the fast-food joint you frequent but also the producers of the food, the manufacturers of the packaging, the store’s other vendors, and all the individuals with whom these initial beneficiaries subsequently do business. But every time a dollar is collected in taxes and then expended on a government program, there are two sets of multiplier effects. There’s the ripple effect from the government expenditure of that dollar and the ripple effect from the lost expenditure of that dollar by the person who originally earned it. The multiplier-effect argument just cropped up in connection to North Carolina’s state parks. For generations, state residents and visitors have enjoyed fishing the state’s waterways, hiking the state’s mountain trails, watching the state’s wildlife, and exploring the state’s natural beauty. Still, rather than sticking to the tried-and-true case for partial taxpayer subsidy of parks park lobbyists recently resorted to concoct-
ing their own multiplier-effect magic. It worked about as well as my son Andrew’s clumsy card tricks – when he was about 4. In a Raleigh News & Observer story, system director Lewis Ledford characterized a 2008 OPINION study by N.C. State University researchers as demonstrating John that state taxpayers get “a good Hood return on the investment” of ■■■ tens of millions of dollars every year because non-local visitors spend an average of $23.56 on gas, meals, and other services while visiting state parks. I found the original study on the park system Web site. Ledford correctly cited the statistic but seems not to have understood its import. The definition of “non-local visitor” was based on county lines, not state lines. Someone who traveled to Eno River State Park from, say, Dunn or Asheboro was counted as a non-local visitor. But that person is obviously a North Carolinian. You can’t consider his spending to have been attracted to North Carolina by the park. In other words, the study in question says precisely nothing about whether North Carolina taxpayers derive net economic benefits from being forced to subsidize parks. Given that the vast majority of state park users are from North Carolina, it is highly unlikely that a valid application of economicimpact modeling would show a significant net benefit to state taxpayers. If you believe in subsidizing parks for some other reason, make your case. But let’s cut out the statistical malpractice.

Iran cleric wants ‘special weapons’ TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – The hardline spiritual mentor of Iran’s president has made a rare public call for producing the “special weapons� that are a monopoly of a few nations – a veiled reference to nuclear arms. The Associated Press on Monday obtained a copy of a book written by Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah Yazdi in which he wrote Iran should not de-
prive itself of the right to produce these “special weapons.� Iran’s government, as well as its clerical hierarchy, have repeatedly denied the country is seeking nuclear weapons, as alleged by the U.S. and its allies. The Security Council last week imposed a fourth round of sanctions in response to Tehran’s refusal to halt uranium enrichment.

Gunmen fatally shoot Israeli police officer JERUSALEM – Palestinian gunmen opened fire on a police vehicle in the West Bank Monday, killing an Israeli police officer and wounding two others, police said, in a rare flare-up of violence after months of calm.

US removes hazardous waste from Iraq BAGHDAD – The U.S. military says it has treated and disposed of more than 300 million pounds of hazardous waste accumulated during seven years of war. The clean-up effort comes amid concerns about America’s environmental legacy in Iraq as the military prepares to withdraw by the end of next year. Brig. Gen. Kendall Cox, the commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Iraq, told reporters Monday that the military spent $55 million last year to build two hazardous waste treatment centers.
100,000 Uzbek refugees seek safety at border OSH, Kyrgyzstan – About 100,000 minority Uzbeks fleeing mobs of Kyrgyz massed at the border Monday, an Uzbek leader said, as the deadliest ethnic violence to hit this Central Asian nation in 20 years left a major city smoldering. Fires raged for a fourth day in the southern city of Osh, three miles from the border with Uzbekistan. The official count was 138 dead and nearly 1,800 injured since the violence began last week.
20 inmates shot dead during prison battle MEXICO CITY – Twenty inmates were shot to death Monday when a group of prisoners attacked another gang inside a prison in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, authorities said.

this week put a startling price tag on the country’s reserves of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and other prized minerals: at least $908 billion. If Afghanistan is seen as having a bright economic future, that could help foreign governments persuade their war-fatigued publics that securing the country is worth the fight
and loss of troops. It also could give Afghans hope, U.S. officials say. “The Afghan people (are) developing an understanding that they have a source of indigenous wealth that if properly developed will enable them to be sovereign,� said Paul Brinkley, a senior defense official who led the study.

Heavy rain leads to dramatic rescue
Papers: BP cut corners in days before blowout NEW ORLEANS (AP) – BP made a series of money-saving shortcuts and blunders that dramatically increased the danger of a destructive oil spill in a well that an engineer ominously described as a “nightmare� just six days before the blowout, according to documents released Monday that provide new insight into the causes of the disaster. The House Energy and Commerce Committee released dozens of internal documents that outline several problems on the deepsea rig in the
days and weeks before the April 20 explosion that set in motion the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history. The committee has been investigating the explosion and its aftermath. “Time after time, it appears that BP made decisions that increased the risk of a blowout to save the company time or expense. If this is what happened, BP’s carelessness and complacency have inflicted a heavy toll on the Gulf, its inhabitants, and the workers on the rig,� said Demo-
Killer of girl in suitcase gets life STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) – A Sunday school teacher who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering a neighbor girl in Northern California made a tearful apology to the victim’s family Monday as she was sentenced to prison
for the rest of her life. The punishment came after Melissa Huckaby, 29, reached a plea deal with prosecutors that took the death penalty and the possibility of parole off the table in the killing of 8year-old Sandra Cantu.
Man who lost arm gets new furnace WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – An energy company has donated a new furnace to a Connecticut man who cut off most of his left arm after it got stuck in his home’s boiler. Reginald Duby, a manager at Automatic TLC Energy, says workers installed the furnace Monday at Jonathan Metz’s home.
Metz was working on his boiler June 6 when his arm got stuck. He was rescued three days later when worried co-workers went to his home and called police. Metz used his own tools to cut off most of his arm when he smelled his flesh beginning to rot. Paramedics completed the amputation.

Search scaled down for missing boy PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Authorities overseeing one of the largest search-and-rescue operations in state history said Monday that a missing 7-year-old Portland boy likely didn’t simply walk away from school when he disappeared 11 days ago. Multnomah County Sheriff’s Capt. Jason Gates said the massive search for Kyron Horman has been scaled back, but it continues as a criminal investigation. Kyron went missing June 4 after a science fair at his school.

For 17 years old, she was really calm,� Templeton said. “I just stood there and hugged the tree. We were all just hanging out there together.� Waters had largely receded by Monday afternoon.

Educational voyage Teacher embarks on journey to Central America BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
ARCHDALE – Archdale Elementary’s Lisa Garrison hopes to parlay what she learns during a nineday trip in July to Central America in the classroom. Garrison, a lead teacher at Archdale Elementary, was recently selected by the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences to travel to Belize. She is one of 34 science educators from North Carolina who will experience the natural world like never before as part of the North
Carolina Museum of Natural Science’s Educators of Excellence Institutes, according to the museum. Garrison learned of the Museum of Natural Science’s program when she started her career in education 15 years ago at Archdale Elementary. She was ineligible to apply at that time because she didn’t have three years of experience in education. Three years into her education career, she had her son, Alex.

Garrison said her group will visit the town of Monkey River in Belize, where the Museum of Natural Sciences has a partnership with a school. She and other educators will teach lessons at the school. Garrison also will deliver cards and pencils from Archdale Elementary thirdthrough-fifth grades to the Monkey River kids. “Maybe we can get a pen-pal type program established, so the kids can kind of get a bigger picture of the world around them,” Garrison said.

mendous amount of respect for the flag,” Aubitz said. Hubert Leonard, former Thomasville mayor, agrees. “I don’t think the respect for the flag has changed whatsoever,” Leonard said. “It’s always been top notch.” Leonard, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Army National Guard and later was appointed N.C. Adjutant General, said he noticed an abundance of flag-waving youth during the annual Memorial Day parade in Thomasville. “The younger generation still has respect for the flag,” Leonard said. “Kids have been taught what the flag means.”
ASHEBORO – At a time when Randolph County Schools and Randolph Community College officials are asking for more money, Randolph County commissioners touched on the possibility of making cuts to education in their budget for the 2010-11 fiscal-year. Officials with Randolph County Schools and Randolph Community College made their funding requests to commissioners during the Randolph County Board of Commissioners budget hearings for the county’s departments and education Monday. Randolph County Schools Superintendent Donald Andrews requested $18,103,500, an increase of $189,368 over last year, for the school’s current expense budget. For Randolph County Schools, the increase is requested for several reasons, including the system’s need to hire a computer technician. The system also has to offset a 20 percent increase in retirement benefits and a 9 percent increase in the employer hospital insurance cost. Andrews said the system has already bade cuts to staff and textbooks, eliminated all signing bonuses for hard-to-find positions, and operated under a four-day work week last summer. A positive about tough times is that the system has been “liberal” with its money, Andrews said. Commissioner Stan Haywood asked Andrews what Randolph County Schools would do if the board made a 3 percent cut to the system. Andrews said the system has looked at all options, including charging students to participate in extra-curricular activities and school custodial allotments. Andrews said the Randolph County Board of Education does have the option of cutting assistant principals because the state does not mandate them. Haywood also questioned Asheboro City Schools Superintendent Diane Frost on what the implications would be if commissioners made cuts to education. “We will have some hard choices to make,” Frost said. “I don’t know what those choices would be.” Bob Shackleford, president of Randolph Community College, also asked for a funding increase from commissioners. He requested a 4.39 percent increase, or $105,443, over last year’s budget for Randolph Community College. “We are all in a position of needing to do more in a time when we have less,” Shackleford said. “… We have gone way above innovative and are trying to do the best we can.” Shackleford said the college is making “very modest request” because of an increase in retirement benefits and the need for maintenance and housekeep of the additional facilities at the institution. Commissioners are expected to consider their budget Monday night.

Flag Day celebrates red, white and blue BY DIANNA BELL ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – It’s been known by many names – Old Glory, Stars and Stripes – and venerated in many songs, but when it comes to the American flag, there’s one day it takes center stage – Flag Day. Monday marked the 94th anniversary of the first Flag Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation establishing the tradition of celebrating Flag Day on June 14, the date the Continental Congress approved the first design of a national flag in 1777. Congressional legislation designating June 14 as the national Flag Day was signed into law by President Harry
Truman in 1949. The legislation also called upon the president to issue a flag day proclamation every year. “It’s a symbol of freedom and democracy across the world, and it deserves proper respect,” said Nancy Aubitz, executive director of Concord-based Flag Keepers. Flag Keepers is a volunteer-driven group that collects and disposes of old, worn-out flags. The group promotes and follows the federally established guidelines for flag maintenance. “I don’t think people are aware of the standard maintenance of the flag,” Aubitz said. Aubitz say the national respect for the American flag hasn’t waned over the years. “People still have a tre-

James B. Hoover THOMASVILLE – Mr. James B. Hoover died Saturday morning, June 12, following several months of declining health. He was 89 years old, the fifth child of the late Charles Moses Hoover and Eva Leach Hoover and he was born March 27, 1921. Graveside service will be at Thomasville City Cemetery on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. with Rev. Peggy Finch officiating. Mr. Hoover was a lifelong resident of Thomasville. He attended Thomasville city schools and West Nottingham Academy in Colora, MD, and a school founded in 1744 and is the oldest boarding school in America. He also attended Emory and Henry College in western Virginia, which is affiliated with the Methodist Church. During World War II, Hoover served in the US Army and he was stationed in Australia. His unit followed General MacArthur into Japan. Following his military service, he entered the family furniture manufacturing business in Lexington, NC. The business was Hoover Chair Company. Among his responsibilities were showroom preparations in Chicago and New York. He was the last president of the company. He was a descendent of the Leach and Lewis families who were early supporters and leaders of the Methodist church and Trinity College, which later became Duke University. He enjoyed the genealogy of his Hoover family. His ancestor moved to Rowan County, NC following the American Revolutionary War. He was consulted by many historians of Davidson County for his knowledge of history. Mr. Hoover was a collector of Wedgewood and North Carolina pottery. His sea shell collection and Christmas decorations were shared with friends and family and he was a quest speaker at the Phi Beta Club on several occasions. The family wishes to express gratitude to his caregiver, Mrs. Louise Davis. He is survived by a nephew, Samuel P. Harris, Mountain View, CA and a niece, Dr. Eve Hoover, Hendersonville, NC. Memorials may be made to The Historic Preservation Foundation of North Carolina, Inc., P.O. Box 27644, Raleigh, NC 27611-7644 or to Memorial United Methodist Church, P.O.

Jimmie Reese Lowry HIGH POINT – Jimmie Reese Lowry of High Point, North Carolina, after fighting a courageous battle with cancer, died on June 13, 2010 at Hospice of the Piedmont. He was 65 years old. He was born in 1944 in Lumberton, NC, the first of four sons to Harvey and Myrtle Lowry. After receiving what he would later term a priceless education both in the classroom and in the cotton fields of Robeson County, he matriculated at North Carolina State University, where he graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Engineering. Before graduating, he married his high school sweetheart, Phyllis Ann Locklear, of Pembroke, NC, in 1964. After graduating, he and his wife moved to Marietta, Georgia in 1966, where he began his career as an Aircraft Research Engineer with Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. Though he enjoyed the challenging nature of his work, his interest in the pursuit of other opportunities never waned, and culminated in his hiring by General Electric in 1969. Though his background and expertise were technical, he quickly immersed himself in GE’s corporate ethos and was identified as a rising star in the company. By 1973 he was GE’s District Sales Manager for North and South Carolina. Always interested in owning his own business, when an opportunity at a small dealership in Tryon, NC, presented itself, he and his family made the difficult decision to leave GE and move to Tryon. There he became Dealer/ Owner of Lowry Chevrolet, Inc., from 1977-1987. From 1982-1983, he also served as State Purchasing Officer under Governor Jim Hunt. In 1987, at the request of High Point businessman George Lyles, he became Vice President/General Manager of the Lyles Companies. In 1992, he became Owner/President of Lowry Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac-Chevrolet-Geo, Inc., in Thomasville, NC. In 1998, he became President of High Point Chevrolet Jeep, LLC. No longer an owner after 2002, he spent his remaining years as an automotive consultant. Leaving the automobile business allowed Jim to devote more time to other endeavors which were of tremendous personal importance. In 2001, he was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Charlotte
Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. He was elected Chairman of the Board in 2006. His involvement with the Board served as a time of exceptional growth and experience, not only in terms of his edification, but in terms of his contributions to the Board and the establishment of particularly significant relationships with other members of the Board. He approached his tenure in this capacity with the same zeal with which he approached every challenge, and he cherished his opportunity to play even a small role in helping the Federal Reserve shape monetary policy. Jim also was able to devote more time to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. As a proud member of the Tribe, he cared deeply about its members, and particularly the people of Robeson County. Upon his appointment by Judge Howard Manning as Chairman of the Lumbee Self-Determination Commission, he played an integral role in the establishment of a tribal constitution. With the mechanisms of a tribal government more formally established, he then turned his attention to issues of great importance to the Tribe, including federal recognition and economic development/ empowerment. Recognition of his leadership came in the form of a number of appointments and awards: Chairman of the North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs (1977-1984); member of the North Carolina State University Board of Visitors; member of the General Motors Minority Dealer Advisory Council; member of the Wachovia Bank & Trust Advisory Board, High Point, NC; Lifetime Achievement Award by the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association; Distinguished Service Award by the Lumbee Regional Development Association; The Order of the Long Leaf Pine, awarded by Governor Jim Hunt in 1981; and The Order of the Old North State, awarded by Governor Beverly Eaves Perdue in June, 2010. However, Jim’s life was never about personal enrichment or personal gain—it was always about the passionate practice of selfless service. He never turned away from an opportunity to help other people, and felt it was his duty to give more than was asked of him. His love for and commitment to Covenant United Method-
Millie K. Brown ist Church, Tryon United Methodist Church, his career, his friends, and his charitable and civic responsibilities were superseded only by his love for and commitment to his family. At times an impassioned leader, at times a stoic sage dispensing advice when his counsel was solicited, he held steadfast to one guiding tenet of his life: Putting the interests and needs of others before his own. Family and friends alike will remember a man who cared deeply about the people of Robeson County; a man who loved and served God with all his heart; a man who couldn’t hide the sparkle in his eye the first time he saw his granddaughter ride her bike, or the last time he saw his wife of fortyfive years; a man who loved and cherished his friends, and the people with whom he worked; a man who handled his illness with magnanimity; and a man who saw life not as a series of inexorable obstacles to overcome, but as a series of opportunities to try to enrich the lives of other people. For all the reasons he will be so warmly received in his next life are the very reasons he will be so deeply missed in this one. He is survived by his wife, Phyllis Ann Lowry, of High Point; daughter, Jayme Burmeister, and her husband, Paul, of High Point; son, Chad Lowry, of High Point; brother, Robby Lowry, of Rowland, NC; brother, Harvey Lowry, Jr., of Maxton, NC; and beloved granddaughter, his namesake, Reece MaryAnn Burmeister. He was preceded in death by his brother, Rev. Dr. Jerry Lowry of Sanford, NC; and parents Harvey and Myrtle Lowry of Rowland, NC. A private burial for family was held at Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church in Rowland, NC. A memorial service honoring his life will be held at Covenant United Methodist Church in High Point, NC on Sunday, June 20th, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation for the numerous inquiries and calls of support received during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, donations to honor Jim Lowry’s memory can be made to Hospice of the Piedmont, 1803 Westchester Dr., High Point, NC 27265. McDougald Funeral Home and Crematorium of Laurinburg is serving the family. www.McDougald.com

Singer, sausage tycoon Jimmy Dean dies at 81 RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Jimmy Dean, a country music legend for his smash hit about a workingman hero, “Big Bad John,” and an entrepreneur known for his sausage brand, died on Sunday. He was 81. His wife, Donna Meade Dean, said her husband died at their Henrico County, Va., home. She told The Associated Press that he had some health problems but was still functioning well, so his death came as a shock. She said he was eating in front of the television. She left the room for a time and came back and he was unresponsive. She said he was pronounced dead at 7:54 p.m. “He was amazing,” she said. “He had a lot of talents.” Born in 1928, Dean was

Country singer and sausage icon Jimmy Dean is seen at his home in Varina, Va., in 2009. raised in poverty in Plainview, Texas, and dropped out of high school after the ninth grade. He went on to a successful entertain-
ment career in the 1950s and ’60s that included the nationally televised “The Jimmy Dean Show.” In 1969, Dean went into the sausage business, starting the Jimmy Dean Meat Co. in his hometown. He sold the company to Sara Lee Corp. in 1984. Dean lived in semiretirement with his wife, who is a songwriter and recording artist, on their estate just outside Richmond. In 2009 a fire gutted their home. His Grammy for “Big Bad John,” a puppet made by Muppets creator Jim Henson, a clock that had belonged to Prince Charles and Princess Diana and other valuables were saved. Donna Meade Dean said the couple had just moved back into their reconstructed home.

Teen plans short life based on overheard conversation
D
ear Abby: I’m 13 and I have cancer. My mom thinks I don’t know, but I do. I heard the doctor say I was better off without any meds. I have made a choice not to fall in love, and not to tell even my closest friend that I’m only going to live to be about 25-30 years old. My friend can’t understand why I am always sad and have never wanted a boyfriend. How do I tell her to stop advising me to be happy and cheer up, and to someday open my heart to love without telling her about my short life? – Made My Choice, Anywhere, USA Dear Made Your Choice: If ever I heard about a girl who needs to have a talk with her mother, it is you. I don’t know what you think you overheard the doctor telling her, but it is very possible that the “meds� he was talking about had nothing to do with cancer. I would hate to see you ruin your teen years because you jumped to a conclusion based on a misunderstanding – so please speak up NOW! Dear Abby: Today, June 15, is World Elder Abuse Day. On this day, communities all over the USA and the world will sponsor events to shed light on the growing and tragic issue of elder abuse. Your readers, young and old, should be aware that the U.S. Administration on Aging estimates that as many as 5 million
seniors are abused each year in the United States. And this is only the tip of ADVICE the iceberg, since only Dear an estimatAbby ed one in ■■■five cases of abuse is ever reported to the authorities. Elder abuse can be financial, physical, emotional or sexual, and it also includes people who are neglected. But elder abuse is preventable – public awareness and education can help people learn the warning signs. For more information on what readers can do to join the fight against elder abuse, visit www. centeronelderabuse.org. Thank you, Abby, for all you do to help keep our seniors safe. – Laura Mosqueda, M.D., Geriatrics, University Of California at Irvine Dear Dr. Mosqueda: If publicizing your message and your Web site will help some of these vulnerable hidden victims, I am more than pleased to help. Readers, the elderly – unlike child victims of abuse – can slip through the cracks because too often they become invisible. Either they drop out of sight, or no one suspects what is going on until it is too late. Old people have been found stashed in garages, suffering from
bed sores, malnourished and lying in their own waste. If you suspect abuse, please report it so it can be investigated. All you have to do is call Adult Protective Services. Every state has an agency that provides this. Dear Abby: When I married the first time, I wore my mother’s wedding gown. She and Dad had a happy marriage. They were married 47 years when Dad died. My first husband and I divorced. We had two boys. I don’t think either of my children would want the dress. In fact, I don’t think ANYone would want it because the last time it was worn led to divorce. What should I do with the dress? I only have two nephews and a stepgranddaughter who is 5. I could save it for future grandchildren, but I think the divorce issue is a spoiler. – Jinxed in Kentucky Dear Jinxed: Why not donate the dress to a charity? If it’s in good condition, I’m sure some young woman who can’t afford to buy one would love to have it. And once it’s out of the family, the “jinx� would be dissipated, canceled out by your generosity.

Exercise can improve frailty
BIBLE QUIZ
---
Yesterday’s Bible question: In Jeremiah 29, what two false prophets were roasted in the fire? Answer to yesterday’s question: Zedekiah and Ahab (Jeremiah 29:22)
BY CHRISTINE ALFORD
Today’s Bible question: Complete: “But this shall be the convenant that I made with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my ... in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.�
E
xercise is important for everyone. Many people use their age, physical conditions or diseases as an excuse to avoid exercise. One of the most important groups that should emphasize regular exercise routines is the frail population. Frailty is a condition seen particularly in the elderly. It is characterized by weakness, fatigue, functional impairment and a variety of diseases and/or disabilities. Frailty causes a deterioration of a person’s physiological functions and increases the risk of loss of independence and even death. There are a number of contributing factors for frailty, and older adults are often at increased risk due to aging, physical disuse and chronic diseases. Also, obesity can be a contributing factor to frailty. Some causes of frailty are at times out of our control, but there are some things we can do to prevent or slow its progression, including a balanced diet and proper exercise routine. Regular exercise can have benefits for frail people, including improved muscular strength and endurance, increased aerobic capacity, enhanced joint flexibility, improved balance and coordination, improved psychological well-being, weight loss and management of chronic diseases/disabilities. These potential benefits can result in enhanced functional abilities, maintained or increased independent living and possibly reversing or preventing the condition of frailty. Always check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program. It’s recommended to conduct initial exercise testing to determine your abilities and to provide information for developing a proper exercise prescription. Walking is the most common mode of exercise. Large muscle groups and weight bearing aerobic exercises should be emphasized whenever possible. Non-weight-bearing aerobic activities such as swimming should be used when weight-bearing exercises are too strenuous. Aerobic training should be performed at least three to five days a week, and resistance training two to three days a week, progressing gradually. Resistance training increases muscle mass, muscular strength, power and endurance, allowing for enhanced functional abilities. Flexibility training should also be incorporated daily to increase joint range of motion and increase ease of movement. With the guidance of a trained exercise physiologist, almost every person can benefit from some type of exercise routine.

More than 2,000 chemicals are in tobacco and its juices. Your son absorbs them through the lining of his mouth. Swallowing the juice (yuck!) allows more chemicals to be absorbed in his stomach and digestive tract. His blood levels of nicotine are high. He puts himself in danger of cancer of the mouth and throat and tongue. He’s eroding his teeth. High blood nicotine levels lead to artery hardening and heart disease. He’s not subjecting his lungs to cigarette smoke, so he doesn’t run the risk of lung cancer or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – one good point. Smokeless tobacco in any form is not a great idea. Dear Dr. Donohue: I had my first ever complete physical examination. It included blood and urine tests and an EKG. The EKG showed premature atrial beats. The doctor never said a word to me about them. What do they mean? Are they trouble? I am 37. – G.K. Premature atrial beats are extra heartbeats originating in the upper heart chambers, the atria. They’re not an indication of serious heart disease. They need no treatment, especially when a person is completely unaware of them. Numerous premature beats might be felt as palpitations. Sometimes numerous beats have to be suppressed. Yours can be forgotten.

S
ure, it’s hot, and what better time to cool down in a nice, refreshing swimming pool than when the temperature soars above 90? But as you’re cooling off, it’s also a good time to remember the importance of protecting your skin from the sun’s harsh ultraviolet rays, which can cause premature aging (wrinkles, blotchiness and sagging skin) and a 1-in-5 chance of developing skin cancer. While skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, it is also largely preventable if you use a little common sense when you’re out there. After all, sun exposure is the most preventable risk factor for all skin cancers, including melanoma. Following are a few tips from the American Academy of Dermatology about how you can
decrease your risk of skin cancer while still having fun in the sun: • Generously apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or more to all exposed skin. “Broad-spectrum” provides protection from both ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B rays. Don’t forget your ears, nose, neck, hands and toes – all areas that tend to be more vulnerable to skin cancer. One ounce of sunscreen – enough to fill a shot glass – is considered to be the amount needed to cover the exposed areas of the body properly. • Protect your lips, another highrisk area, with lip balm that offers sun protection with an SPF of 30 or higher. • Sunscreen should be applied to dry skin 15-30 minutes before going outdoors and should be reapplied approximately every two hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
Be aware of the sun’s harmful effects when you’re having fun outdoors
• If you’re not going to be swimming, wear protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses, whenever possible. With clothing, remember that the tighter the weave of the garment, the more sun protection provided. You can even purchase laundry additives created specifically to boost clothing’s protective function. • Seek shade when appropriate. Remember that the sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so consider “laying low” during those hours. A good rule of thumb to remember is that if your shadow appears to be shorter than you are, seek shade. • Protect your children from sun exposure by having them play in the shade, wear protective clothing and apply sunscreen. • Use extra caution near water and sand, because they reflect and intensify the damaging rays of the
sun, which can increase your risk of sunburn. • Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet that may include vitamin supplements. Don’t seek the sun. • Avoid tanning beds. Ultraviolet light from the sun and tanning beds can cause skin cancer and wrinkling. If you want to look like you’ve been in the sun, consider using a sunless self-tanning product, but continue to use sunscreen with it because such products do not protect your skin from the sun. • Check your birthday suit on your birthday. If you notice anything changing, growing, or bleeding on your skin, see a dermatologist. Skin cancer is very treatable when caught early. For more information, visit the Web site of the American Academy of Dermatology at www.aad. org.
The summer travel season is here, and with AAA predicting an increase in the number of Americans traveling, it is important to have effective budgeting tips to help them vacation within their means. The most important question people need to ask themselves is if they can truly afford to go on vacation. For domestic travel, consumers should compare the costs associated with flying versus driving to their location. If driving is possible, do so; this would also eliminate the costs of a renting a car while away. When flying, consider the cost of checking baggage, in-flight meals and inflight entertainment. Using frequent flyer miles can discount the price of your ticket; however, be aware of blackout dates. Depending on the destination, there may be several lodging options. Renting a house or an apartment is generally cheaper than a hotel. If renting an apartment, this will cut down on food costs because travelers will have the option to eat in. Travelers could also stay with relatives, where possible. Create a daily budget that includes meals, transportation, entertainment and spontaneous purchases (souvenirs and other gifts).

HPU will host ACC foe
F
or the 11th time since moving to a Division I schedule in the 1999-2000 season, High Point University will face an Atlantic Coast Conference school in men’s basketball this winter. This time, there is a difference. The Panthers won’t be going on the road as they have in all of the meetings so far. HPU athletics director Craig Keilitz said Monday that contracts have been signed for the Panthers to host the ACC foe at the Millis Center. Keilitz declined to name the school or give details of how HPU enticed a major college foe to play in an arena that has a listed seating capacity of 1,750. He expects the entire schedule to be announced in three weeks. “This is something very special for us,” Keilitz said. “And, we have some opponents that we think people will enjoy seeing.
“We want the people of High Point to feel this is their team. But, we have to be very good and play the type of basketball that people want to SPORTS see.” In most cases, Greer a major college Smith school agrees to ■■■ give up its gate from a home game and play at a school from a less powerful conference if the smaller school submits to playing two or three games at the bigger school. “Schools from BCS schools rarely play on the road,” Keilitz said. “And even then, it is because of relationships and not pure competitiveness.” Keilitz expects HPU to move away from its previous practice of scheduling at least three games
each season at major conference schools in return for a hefty money guarantee. Last season’s money games were at Wake Forest, at Auburn and at Marshall. Other money games for the Panthers over the years have included Kentucky (three times while former HPU player Tubby Smith was coach there), Oklahoma, Florida, Clemson, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Michigan, Maryland, Florida State, N.C. State and Minnesota (with Smith coaching). “We’re changing a little bit of that philosophy,” Keilitz said. “We’re trying to put ourselves in a position to be competitive. We just don’t want to play someone on their home court where we don’t think we have an opportunity to win that game. “The mindset in those games is you get your money and you go on. We want to have a good payday, but we also want to have
an opportunity to win.” Even though it is hard to get teams to come to the Millis Center, Keilitz is also working to prevent HPU from going through an extended stretch on the road as it was for almost the entire month of December last season. “We’re working as hard as we can to get good competition into our place,” Keilitz said. “But that it is a lot easier said than done. “You want to give your team a fighting chance, so you want to play at least as many games at home as on the road. We’re looking at things more systematically. I want as challenging a schedule as possible, but to be smart with it, and see how it affects recruiting and how it affects the team we have and how it rolls into our goals down the road.” Keilitz said other schools on the schedule are from mid-major conferences. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556
Big 12 circles wagons AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – The Big 12 is alive and kicking. The University of Texas on Monday said it was staying in the Big 12, followed moments later by pledges from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M to remain in a league that had seemed to be falling apart last week when Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-10) decided to leave over the next two years. The Texas announcement came shortly after Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott confirmed to The Associated Press in an e-mail that Texas had declined an invitation to become the 12th member of his conference. Scott said Texas president William Powers Jr. told him “the 10 remaining schools in the Big 12 Conference intend to stay together.” Powers wouldn’t give any details about why the school decided to stay put when asked by the AP. The school has scheduled a news conference for this morning. A person with direct knowledge of discussions among the Big 12’s remaining members said Texas is clear to set up its own TV network and keep all proceeds in exchange for remaining in the Big 12. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because nothing has been finalized, said details were still being worked out. The fate of the conference born in 1996 when the Big 8 merged with four members of the Southwest Conference has been at risk for days, and Texas emerged as the key to the Big 12’s survival. The Pac-10 courted Texas and other Big 12 South Division schools.

Vince Young has apologized to the Tennessee Titans, his teammates, his family and fans for his role in a fight at a Dallas strip club. The quarterback said Monday he made a mistake being at the club. Young, in Dallas for a Sunday autograph session, said he was headed back to his hotel when he decided to go out on the town with a friend. They went to Club Onyx, which Young said was a bad decision. “Just made a mistake, made a mistake even being there and let that guy provoke me into doing what I did,” Young told reporters after a Titans offseason practice. “Fell into his hands, what he wanted me to do so he could do what he’s doing now. At the same time, let my lawyers take care of it.” Surveillance video footage released by Dallas police show the quarterback and several people talking in a small room before Young attacked someone in the room. Young left before police arrived, but he spoke with officers around 2:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon. He received a misdemeanor assault citation, and the NFL is looking into the case. Young returned to Nashville in time to pinch-hit late in coach Jeff Fisher’s charity softball game.

WHO’S NEWS
he first round of the U.S. Open is only two days away, and I can’t wait. This marks the fifth time the U.S. Open has been held at Pebble Beach, and each time produced a memorable champion. The great Jack Nicklaus captured the third of his four U.S. Open titles in 1972. His unforgettable 1-iron into a ferocious breeze at No. 17 in the final round stopped six inches away from the cup and punctuated a three-shot win. Ten years later, Tom Watson’s birdie chip heard ‘round the world on the 71st hole
broke a tie with Nicklaus and gave Watson the 1982 U.S. Open championship. In 1992, the unflappable Tom Kite soared through one of the windiest and most difficult final rounds in major-championship history to win by two strokes. It marked his only career major crown. And of course, 2000 saw Tiger Woods blister the course and the field for a recordsetting 15-stroke margin of victory. He became the first player in U.S. Open history to finish double-digit under par (12-under)
and went the final 26 holes without a bogey. My favorite stat from that U.S. Open? Woods set a major-championship record with a 10-stroke lead through 54 holes even though he posted a triple bogey on the third hole in round three. I expect another epic U.S. Open at Pebble Beach this time around. History shows we’d be foolish to expect anything less.

Lakers down to last gasp
AP
Cristie Kerr celebrates with the Bruce Callis trophy after winning the LPGA State Farm Classic on Monday in Springfield, Ill.
Kerr savors rain-delayed victory SPRINGFIELD, Ill (AP) – The flu didn’t get to Cristie Kerr during the week. The weather didn’t get to her over the weekend. And none of her competitors could stop her from collecting a second LPGA State Farm Classic championship Monday. “It’s pretty amazing,” Kerr said. “An amazing, long week.” Kerr held off late challenges by Anna Nordqvist and Na Yeon Choi at the rain-delayed tournament, shooting a 3-under 69 in the final round at Panther Creek Country Club to secure the first LPGA Tour victory by an American since Michelle Wie won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational in November.
Kerr, who also won the title in 2004, finished at 22-under 266, a shot ahead of Nordqvist and Choi. She was pumped up to get the win. “That definitely motivates me to be the top American and top player on tour,” said Kerr, who won $255,000 to move into the second on the money list $60,000 behind Ai Miyazato. “I’m just happy not to have to answer, ‘Why are there no American winners anymore?’” Juli Inkster, second after a firstround 65 had her tied for second, shot 68-71 on the weekend to end in 35th. Karrie Webb made her way into a tie for 11th with a final-round 65.
Natalie Gulbis went 4 under in her closing round to finish tied for 36th and Michelle Wie finished at 6 under, tied for 52nd. Kerr led after third-round play was completed Sunday morning and would have been the champ if the fourth round had been washed out. But with more than half the round completed when heavy rains and lightning rolled in Sunday, tour officials decided to try to finish the tournament Monday. Kerr never wavered. After Saturday’s delay, she made six more birdies to finish with a 63. Monday, she birdied three holes before an inconsequential bogey on 18.
Pebble takes on a U.S. Open look PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) – As the fog began to lift early Monday afternoon, there was no mistaking the scenery that makes Pebble Beach so iconic. It was the golf course that looked so different. The fairways are more narrow and defined than they were four months ago when the PGA Tour was in town. The rough is far more dense, except on the right side of five holes that run along the Pacific Ocean. Native grass is waist-high on the outside edges of bunkers, while the edges near the fairway have been shaved to feed golf balls into the sand. It’s supposed to be that way. This is the U.S. Open. “Completely different from February,” said Dustin Johnson, the two-time defending champion in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. “This is going to be fun. This is going to be a challenge.” Johnson played early Monday with Tiger Woods, another player who can claim to be a defending champion. Woods won the U.S. Open the last time it was played at Pebble Beach, obliterating the field
in 2000 by a record 15 shots. He’ll have to hit the ball a lot straighter that he has been since returning two months ago at the Masters. Everyone will. Johnson’s experience at Pebble Beach is pounding the ball some 300 yards in the air and watching it plug in the soggy grass. He’s not used to feeling firm ground under his feet, and seeing the ball bounce along the fairways. “Any time the ball is bouncing, the ocean is in play more,” he said. “I don’t hit driver as much.” He did on the par-5 sixth, and while his drive went so far and straight that Johnson only had an 8-iron to the green, he decided when he walked onto the fairway that he will opt for a 3-wood off the tee, maybe even a 3-iron. That would leave him another 3-iron to the green. A reporter asked if that decision was to keep it out of the rough. “No,” Johnson replied. “To keep it out of the ocean.” Right of the sixth fairway is one example where the USGA has cut down the rough. Any shot
that drifts to the right and rolls too much could easily go over the cliff and into Stillwater Cove. Just standing on the sixth tee, the fairway looks like carpet. It’s beautiful to see, more frightening with a club in hand. It’s like that down the eighth, ninth and 10th fairways, the famous stretch along the Pacific. The weather, not to mention the surf that sends ocean spray onto 18th fairway, was better during the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. But at least there is no rain in the forecast, and seven days of sunshine could make Pebble a real menace. Even so, there were few complaints about the USGA going over the top to make the U.S. Open live up to its billing as the “toughest test in golf.” Ernie Els, who shot a 67 at Pine Valley in his final round before coming to the West Coast, offered a cautious smile when he spoke of the fast fairways and the changes to the angles on some tee shots. “This course right now is ready for the U.S. Open,” said Els, a twotime champion. “It’s not tricked up. They’ve done a good job.”
The Netherlands blanks Denmark THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHANNESBURG – The Netherlands scored on an own goal and beat Denmark 2-0 at the World Cup on Monday even though its dangerous attack was stymied for much of the game. The Dutch took the lead in the 46th minute when Denmark defender Simon Poulsen headed a ball off the back of teammate Daniel Agger and into the net. Poulsen was trying to clear a cross from Robin van Persie. Dirk Kuyt doubled the lead in the 85th when he tapped in a rebound off the post from close range.
JAPAN 1, CAMEROON 0
fell behind, then lost its star goalkeeper for the second half. So a 1-1 World Cup draw with Paraguay should not have been all that disturbing for the defending champions. Yet the Azzurri’s underwhelming, rainsoaked draw hardly was pleasing to coach Marcello Lippi, the same man who guided the Italians to their fourth championship in 2006. The South Americans did enough for a tie. Defender Antolin Alcaraz scored on a header in the 39th minute of the Group F match. Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi equalized from close range in the 63rd after a miscue by goalkeeper ITALY 1, PARAGUAY 1 CAPE TOWN, South Africa – Italy Justo Villar.
BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa – Keisuke Honda scored in the first half Monday to lead Japan to a 1-0 win over an uninspired Cameroon in Group E of the World Cup. The win is Japan’s first at the World Cup on foreign soil, and puts the Japanese at the top of Group E along with the Netherlands, which beat Denmark 2-0 earlier Monday. Despite an attack led by Samuel Eto’o, Cameroon never really challenged Japan keeper Eiji Kawashima.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Down 3-2 in the NBA finals against an old foe that keeps finding new ways to beat them, the Los Angeles Lakers are going to need a big Hollywood ending to escape this jam with another championship. That’s exactly where they’ll make their last stand against Boston. Game 6 is back home
tonight at Staples Center, where the Lakers are 9-1 in the postseason, with everybody from Kobe Bryant to the Lakers’ bedraggled bench playing with much more passion and confidence. But two straight losses in Boston led to a dire series deficit for the Lakers, who hadn’t even trailed in any playoff series this season.
Pujols, Cards whip M’s ST. LOUIS (AP) – Albert Pujols took one off the noggin for his team on a perfect day at the plate and stand-in cleanup hitter Ryan Ludwick homered to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Seattle Mariners 9-3 on Monday night. Pujols singled three times and walked twice as the Cardinals bounced back after totaling 19 runs during a 1-5 West Coast swing that dropped them out of the NL Central lead. Plus, he stayed in the game after a throw to the plate glanced off his helmet ear flap in the fifth. Ludwick finished with four RBIs. The Mariners have lost six of seven, fizzling after Ichiro Suzuki’s 31st career leadoff homer.
Clemson punches ticket to CWS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEMSON, S.C. – Nothing has come easy for Clemson this season. And nothing was any harder for the Tigers on Monday than getting the final out for a trip to the College World Series. Leading Alabama by seven runs with two outs in the ninth inning, the Tigers frittered away most of the cushion be-
fore reliever Will Lamb got Jake Smith to fly out to finish off an 8-6 victory in the deciding game of the NCAA Clemson Super Regional. Smith, who homered in the previous two games in the series, came to the plate with the tying run at second base. John Hinson put the Tigers on top for good with a two-run homer – his 17th of the season – in the second.
Dixon captures sixth Top Fuel title of ‘10 ENGLISHTOWN, N.J. (AP) – Larry Dixon raced to his sixth Top Fuel victory of the season at the rain-delayed NHRA SuperNationals on Monday. Bob Tasca, Mike Edwards and Michael Phillips also won their divisions in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series event at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park. Dixon drove his dragster to a 3.824-second run at 320.05 mph for his 54th career victory, beating Antron Brown, who finished second for the second straight year after his dragster lost traction midway through the run. Tasca won for the first time this season, and the third time in his career, defeating Del Worsham in the Funny Car final. The electronic timers initially showed Worsham as the winner, but the timing data later revealed Tasca crossed the finish line first. Edwards took his seventh Pro Stock win of the season and third in a row, outrunning rookie Shane Gray in the final. In Pro Stock Motorcycle, Phillips defeated Steve Johnson. It was Phillips’ second win of the season and the fifth of his career. The event at Raceway Park was marred by the death of driver Neal Parker, 58, of Millville, N.J., who died of head injuries after crashing his alcoholfueled funny during qualifying Friday.

U.S. Soccer: Howard is OK to play against Slovenia IRENE, South Africa (AP) – Relax, U.S. fans. Tim Howard should be in goal Friday against Slovenia. Howard is expected to play after U.S. team medical staff examined him Monday and decided no further tests were needed on his bruised ribs. Howard is making “substantial improvement” following a colli-
sion with Emile Heskey in Saturday night’s 1-1 draw against England, U.S. Soccer said in a statement. It seemed unlikely Howard would miss the key game against Group C leader Slovenia, considering he earned man of the match honors Saturday after Heskey slammed into him feet-first at full speed in
the 29th minute. But there was some concern Sunday that Howard’s ribs might be broken, not just bruised, and U.S. coach Bob Bradley said he would re-evaluate his goalkeeper’s status. News that Howard will play is sure to give a boost to the Americans, who are tied with England for second place in Group C.

Moody’s rates Greece’s debt at junk status ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Moody’s Investors Service slashed Greece’s credit rating to junk status on Monday in a new blow to the debt-ridden country that is under intense international scrutiny after narrowly avoiding default last month. A Moody’s statement said it was cutting Greece’s government bond ratings by four notches to Ba1 from A3, with a stable outlook for the next 12-18 months. It was the second of the three major agencies to accord Greek bonds junk status. Standard & Poor’s did the same in late April.

Judge weighs Visteon bankruptcy plan WILMINGTON, Del. – The judge in auto parts supplier Visteon’s bankruptcy is being asked to approve documents supporting its proposed reorganization plan. Visteon filed a new plan just before Monday’s hearing that tries to satisfy shareholders by offering them about 2 percent of the stock in the reorganized company. But Visteon’s secured lenders and some shareholders are challenging more than $100 million in fees Visteon might have to pay under a $1.25 billion financing arrangement.
White House auto official takes new job WASHINGTON – The leader of the White House’s effort to help cities and communities deal with the decline of the U.S. auto industry is departing to return to academia. Ed Montgomery, the executive director of the White House Council on Automotive Communities and Workers, will become the dean of Georgetown University’s Public Policy Institute on Aug. 15.
Starbucks offers free Wi-Fi at 6,700 stores CHICAGO – Starbucks Corp. will begin offering unlimited free wireless Internet access at all company-operated U.S. locations starting July 1, part of an ongoing effort to bring more customers in the door. The Wi-Fi access, which will eventually include a new network of news and entertainment content exclusively for customers, comes as Starbucks works to take business back from rivals like McDonald’s Corp. and independent cafes that have long offered free Internet.

The downgrades reflect concern that the country could fail to meet its obligations to cut its deficit and pay down its debt – which the Greek government says is out of the question. In New York, traders seemed unfazed by the news, which only weeks ago would have sent stocks tumbling on fears that problems in Europe were worsening. But traders don’t have any illusions about the financial problems Greece is facing. A Greek Finance Ministry statement insisted that the recovery effort was on track.
It said the new cut “does in no way reflect the progress made in recent months, nor the prospects emerging from fiscal improvement and better competitiveness.” The downgrade came as a delegation from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund started an interim review of the country’s efforts to pull itself out of its major debt crisis. The finance ministry says the January-May deficit stood at ¤8.97 billion ($10.77 billion), compared to ¤14.65 billion in the first five months of 2009.
Gas prices expected to stop falling THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It looks like the nearly six-week run in lower gasoline prices is just about over. Gasoline prices have dropped about 8 percent since hitting $2.93 per gallon on May 6 on the back of lower oil prices. Pump prices fell 0.3 cent to a national average of $2.698 a gallon Monday, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Prices are now about the same as the 2009 peak. “We may wobble down another nickel or up a nickel, but what you see now on the street probably will be close to what you pay for July 4th weekend,” said OPIS’ Tom Kloza.
Kloza expects that prices likely will climb beginning in July as hurricane season starts in earnest and as new investments are made in crude for the third quarter. Investors worry that hurricanes can damage crude and natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico and refineries along the Gulf coast. Shutdowns can send prices higher. Gasoline prices have dropped 2.6 cents in the past week and are 17.9 cents below where they were a month ago. Prices are 3.5 cents higher than a year ago. The Energy Information Administration will release its weekly report on retail gasoline prices later Monday.
BP shares continue slide THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shares of BP fell in New York trading Monday as the company’s board meets to decide whether to suspend its hefty dividend because of political pressure in the U.S. BP lost $3, or 8.9 percent, to $30.94 in afternoon trading. The White House said Monday that BP appears willing to set up a victims compensation fund, as President Barack Obama has demanded. Spokesman Bill Burton said the White House and BP are “working out the particulars,” such as the amount of the fund and how it will be administered. Any BP board decision on the company’s dividend or other measures is not expected to be an-
nounced immediately. BP executives are due to meet Obama in Washington on Wednesday. BP’s stock price has been volatile over the past week. It dropped to a 14-year low on Wednesday, only to rebound on Thursday and Friday. The company has lost about $90 billion in value since the spill in the Gulf nearly two months ago. At the current quarterly dividend rate of 84 cents per American depositary share, the dividend rate is an extraordinarily high 10 percent. Many analysts agree with the company that it has the ability to continue the dividend and pay for the cleanup of the spill, but they believe the company will defer it, put the funds into escrow or pay it in shares.

Stocks falter in last hour NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks faltered in the last hour of trading Monday after investors gave in to anxiety about Europe’s economy. The Dow Jones industrial average erased an early gain of 118 points to end down 20. The Standard & Poor’s 500 also fell slightly, while the Nasdaq composite rose less than a point. Stocks began the day higher following a report that industrial production in the 16 countries that use the euro grew more than expected in April. That boosted confidence that Europe could solve its debt problems and pushed the euro above $1.22 for the first time since June 4. Investors have been concerned that government spending cuts aimed at slashing debt would hurt Europe and slow a global recovery. However, there have been few signs so far that the budget cuts needed to contain rising debt in countries like Greece, Spain and Portugal have slowed economies around the world. Bank stocks fell on concerns about European debt and about a financial overhaul bill in Congress. Some traders are worried that the merged version of the House and Senate bills will be tougher on banks than analysts had anticipated. Tighter restrictions could cut into profits. JPMorgan Chase & Co. fell 2 percent, while Goldman Sachs Group Inc. lost 1.6 percent.

Teen sailor’s mother denies plans for show
AP
Microsoft makes big push for new game audience different sides of the country, as Microsoft demonstrated Monday at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles, a video game conference with 45,000 industry insiders. Kinect will launch Nov. 4 in North America, Microsoft said. Prices were not disclosed, and it’s not clear whether Kinect will come with new Xboxes or only be sold separately. The technology works with existing systems, including a new version of the Xbox console that goes on sale next week. It’s smaller, sleeker and comes with built-in Wi-Fi and a 250 gigabyte hard drive. The new Xbox will cost $299, which previously got you a hard drive with half the capacity. Until now the Xbox has been mainly known as the device to play hard-core shooter games such as “Halo.” Microsoft hopes Kinect takes off and adds hundreds of millions of customers to the company’s entertainment and devices business.
LOS ANGELES – The family of a 16-year-old California girl rescued from the Indian Ocean as she tried to sail solo around the world has no plans to cash in on their child’s adventure with a reality show, documentary or any other deal, Abby Sunderland’s mother said Monday.

PROVO, Utah – A Utah judge has ordered that Gary Coleman’s remains be cremated after 48 hours. Fourth District Judge James Taylor on Monday appointed an independent attorney to oversee Coleman’s estate and the cremation of his remains until a dispute between Coleman’s ex-wife, Shannon Price, and his ex-girlfriend, Anna Gray, is settled.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – To appeal to families ready to graduate from the Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Corp. wants to build on the success of the Wii’s motion-capture wand – by getting rid of the wand entirely. On Monday, Microsoft detailed its new Kinect game technology, coming this fall for the Xbox 360 game console. Once known as Project Natal, the Kinect system recognizes users’ gestures and voices, so you can control on-screen avatars in racing, action and sports games just by moving your body. Microsoft showed off a “Star Wars” game, coming in 2011, that will use Kinect to let players swing virtual lightsabers from their living rooms. Kinect’s voice feature also means you can say “pause” or “play” when watching a movie on the Xbox instead of reaching for the remote. And it has a video chat function that can connect people from

Film stars captivate and capture the Tonys NEW YORK (AP) – If you weren’t watching the Tonys too carefully, you would have thought they had turned into the Oscars. Sunday’s show was a night for celebrities and for the meaning of celebrity, when Academy Award winners Denzel Washington and Catherine Zeta-Jones took home their first Tonys, and when the most honored play, “Red,” was itself a meditation on art and commerce. Other familiar faces included Will Smith and Michael Douglas, Helen Mirren and Daniel Radcliffe, and “Glee” stars Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele. But even with such
