City to close apartment complex Council members strongly criticize property owner BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – High Point leaders took action Monday to shutter a blighted apartment complex and blasted the property owner for the shoddy condition of the dwellings. During its meeting, the High Point City Council approved ordinances to vacate and close 27 units in eight buildings in the 500 block of Meredith Street that are riddled with minimum housing code violations. The properties are owned by Schwarz Properties LLC of Asheboro. “It’s a disgrace,” said Mayor Becky Smothers. “I would say there is adequate evidence to show Mr. Schwarz doesn’t give a crap. ... I know we’ve had a number of neighbors who’ve complained. My question is, how long before demolition will be ordered?” City officials said Schwarz had failed to comply with orders to repair any of the violations flagged at the units, such as inoperable or missing plumbing fixtures, missing water heaters, no smoke detectors, no approved heat source and inoperable windows. No one from Schwarz Properties was at the meeting. Last month, a company representative estimated that about 40 percent of the complex was occupied, and that it was working to relocate tenants. The representative said at the time that Schwarz planned to renovate the complex and bring it up to code. The ordinances adopted Monday call for city inspectors to close and placard the units. The city can relocate any additional tenants. “It’s a shame this exists in the city of High Point,” said Councilman John Faircloth. State law requires at least one year from the time the ordinances are adopted until the city can demolish the properties. Council members asked if there was a way to amend ordinances to give the city more tools to deal with blighted properties more quickly before they deteriorate like the Meredith Street site. It can be difficult to expedite things because of owners’ due process rights. “I think the bigger concern now is keeping it boarded,” said Councilwoman Bernita Sims. “They’re already kicking in doors, so you can imagine what’s going to happen when it’s vacant.” City officials said Schwarz should be encouraged to delegate the ability to enforce no trespassing on the properties to police, which they can’t do unless authorized by the owner. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

HIGH POINT – Tree specialist J.D. Mills found himself responding to calls across the area in the wake of the severe thunderstorms that produced lightning and strong gusts Friday night. Mills, who operates J.D. Mills Expert Tree Service in High Point, received 30 calls since Friday from property owners seeking help removing downed trees or large, broken limbs. Mills normally would receive 10 calls during a week for tree or limb removal. “It was mainly the wind sheer. It hit worst in north High Point, but I got calls as far away as Thomasville. It was a 25- to 30mile area that got hit,” Mills said Monday. High Point police responded to a debris-related traffic call in the wake of the storm through a report about a tree on a power line disrupting motorists, police Lt. Steve Myers said.

Driver in fatal June wreck won’t face charges BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
A road construction sign may have obstructed Dainese Kennedy Hazzard’s vision, according to the police report.
HIGH POINT – No charges will be filed in connection with a traffic accident in the city last month that left a woman dead and three other people injured. High Point police traffic officers took the results of their investigation into the June 30 crash that killed Talia Leonard Oxendine to the Guilford County District Attorney’s Office, and prosecutors there elected not to bring criminal charges
or issue traffic citations in the case, police said. Oxendine, 29, of Thomasville, was driving a 2000 Chrysler minivan south on Westches-
ter Drive when a 2007 Lincoln Towncar driven by Dainese Kennedy Hazzard pulled out from the Westchester Centre shopping center and struck the minivan, according to the police accident report. Witnesses told police the minivan slid sideways and started rolling over, ejecting Oxendine, who was not wearing a seat belt, through the driver’s side window, the report stated. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Three passengers – Rhianna Annette Swinney, 29, Tyrell
A road construction sign may have obstructed Hazzard’s vision, according to the report. It was unclear whether this or other factors played into authorities’ decision not to bring charges. Police referred questions about the case to prosecutors, who did not return a message Monday. Oxendine, who was employed by Metal Works in High Point, left behind a husband and two children, according to her obituary.
LaShawn Scott, 9, and Alexis Shantel Swinney, 11 – sustained non-life-threatening injuries and have since been released from the hospital. According to the report, Hazzard, 78, of High Point, was attempting to exit the shopping center at 2200 Westchester Drive and stopped briefly for the painted stop bar at the exit of the parking lot. Hazzard failed to yield the right of way and pulled out from the parking lot, striking the minivan’s passenger side, the report stated.

Man accused of keeping rattlers in apartment MALTA, Idaho (AP) – An Idaho man who authorities say had 25 Western rattlesnakes in a five-gallon bucket in his apartment has been issued two misdemeanor citations by the state’s Department of Fish and Game. Officials say Terry Brian Teeter had as many as 32 snakes but
he gave some away and ate two others. The 38-year-old Teeter says he was unaware a license is needed to hunt rattlesnakes in Idaho. He says he also didn’t know that there’s a limit of four rattlers a year. Teeter says that he was trying to find a buyer for the snakes
and had contacted a Utah research center which milks snakes for venom. Teeter received the citations in May that list possession, transport or shipment of wildlife. He has a sentencing scheduled on Friday in district court on a possible plea agreement.

NC chief justice rescinds suspension of judge MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Mecklenburg District Judge John Totten, suspended indefinitely in March following reports of inappropriate comments, will be allowed to return to the bench. N.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Sarah Parker, in an order signed July 15, rescinded the suspension. Totten reported
back to work Monday. Totten’s suspension followed complaints about what sources described as the judge’s inappropriate comments to court personnel. In some of those remarks, sources told the Charlotte News and Observer, the judge recounted experiences at a bar and restaurant and described women’s bodies and how scantily they were dressed. Totten, in a prepared
statement Sunday, said he regretted making those comments to his associates. “They rightfully found my remarks offensive...,� he said. “I am returning to my duties as District Court judge and can assure you that my future conduct will be above reproach.� Totten had been ill in the months leading up to his suspension, according to sources. He had been on
medical leave from late October until he was allowed to return for half days in early January, a court official said. He had held court only seven days since going on medical leave, the court official said. Totten, 52, disclosed in his statement that he has been battling Wegener’s granulomatosis, a life-threatening illness affecting lungs, kidneys and blood. “I am thankful that
Regulators: Nearly half of state-chartered banks are ‘troubled’ CHARLOTTE (AP) – Nearly half of the 86 banks chartered in North Carolina and overseen by state regulators are troubled institutions hurt by sliding real estate values, overdue loans and weak loan demand, regulators said. The state-chartered banks considered troubled have increased to 40 from 23 in October, The Charlotte Observer reported Monday. Regulators are barred from naming troubled banks or their ratings to prevent a run on deposits that would worsen their ability to resolve problems. But seven state-chartered banks are identified by the state banking commission and federal regulators’ records as having significantly deteriorated financial conditions. One of those most-distressed banks, The Bank of Currituck, was bought Friday by a Virginia bank
in a deal expected to close this fall. State-chartered banks are typically community, midsize and regional banks. North Carolina’s largest is Winston-Salembased BB&T Corp., which passed the federal government’s worst-case scenario stress test last year and repaid federal bailout dollars. National firms such as Bank of America are not regulated by the state and so would not be on its troubled list. Harry Davis, an economist for the North Carolina Bankers Association, said he doesn’t expect a large number of banks to fail. “The reason there are so many problem banks right now isn’t because they were poorly managed,� said Davis, who is also an Appalachian State University banking professor. “It’s because the absolute bottom has fallen out of the economy.�

Hold businesses accountable for hiring illegals It is easy for states that are not located next to the Mexican border to find fault with Arizona’s immigration tactics because they do not have to deal with the daily flow of illegal immigrants over their borders, nor crime that often flows with it. However, if there were not a “market” for illegal immigrants in our country, there would probably be fewer people clamoring to come across our borders. I am referring to the American businessman: landscapers, contractors, maintenance companies, cleaning companies, motels, etc. Practically every business that employs unskilled labor employs illegal immigrants because they can underpay them, offer them no benefits, pay no taxes on them, nor pay other legitimate fees pertaining to their upkeep in this country. Yet these same illegal immigrants can drain our welfare resources while contributing nothing to them. Larger and more prominent businesses like city governments and hospitals are among the businesses who are encouraging illegal immigrants to come to this area for work, along with many prominent fast-food restaurants. The list of businesses that encourage illegal immigrants to keep coming into our country and working without paying taxes is endless. Perhaps instead of stopping cars, we should be going into businesses and looking at employee and financial records (especially cash spending), and

matching records with actual people. This is a legal and precedented move that violates no racial agenda, as every employee would be checked and not just those of a certain origin. If America’s businesses are made accountable for upholding legal hiring, most of our illegal immigration problems would be resolved and more legal, taxpaying citizens would be put to work. After all, it’s not the people we object to, it is the crime of being here illegally and not paying taxes on earned wages, right? MARSHA COWAN High Point
Area supporters make local golf events successful Many thanks to Mike O’Briant of Colonial Country Club and Adam Bowles and Jim Brotherton of High Point Country Club for hosting the Junior Classic of the Triad golf tournament recently. This is always a well-organized and fun event and was made even better this year as it was hosted by Bubba Watson, who was just coming off his huge win at the Traveller’s Championship. Not only did Bubba sponsor the event, including a cookout and demonstration, tee gifts and prizes, he
also was there each day when the boys teed off and at the cookout. His wife, Angie, was very supportive of the event as well. Junior golfers from all over the state attended and made it a very competitive tournament, especially in the oldest age bracket. I would also like to mention that Oak Hollow Golf Course and Blair Park host the High Point Junior, which is a great tournament on two very different courses. I would encourage any junior interested in golf at any level to participate in both these events next year – not only for the experience but also for the fun of meeting other junior golfers in our area. Finally, thanks to the staff of The High Point Enterprise for their continued support and coverage of junior golf in our area. ELIZABETH WALSH High Point
Political satire is reflected in the words chosen Your “guest columnist” Tony Moschetti on June 21 is at his best when scoring President Obama’s miscues/errors, etc., in judgment. However, without doubt, he is the most sacrilegious “columnist” you have ever printed. His repeated use of the word
Savior (sometimes a small s, sometimes a capital S), and Messiah, again, (sometimes a small m, sometimes a capital M) depicts someone who has forgotten our Ten Commandments, Exodus 20:1-17, most specifically, Commandment III. The only Savior and Messiah I am aware of is Jesus Christ, no matter my faith or Moschetti’s. He appears to deliberately take the Lord’s name in vain whenever he writes. Obviously, The High Point Enterprise condones his choice of words. BARBARA A. FOSTER High Point EDITOR’S NOTE: The Enterprise’s publishing of a letter to the editor in Your View or a guest column does not mean the Enterprise endorses the opinions expressed or condones the language used in the letters and columns. However, satirical opinion writing referencing President Obama using the words messiah and savior always should begin with lowercase letters.

Two incumbents and four challengers will vie for City Council’s two at-large seats, and every one of the city’s six ward seats – four of them with incumbents seeking re-election – will feature contested races. In three city ward races, three candidates vie for the one seat. Under High Point’s new format for elections adopted when the city changed to even-numbered years, the city has no primary elections for Council seats. We can debate whether the city needs to reinstate primary elections another day. But for this year, it’s winner take all. We’ve said before that the jury is still out on whether it was smart for the city to move elections to even-numbered years. But so far this year, it’s beginning to look like the switch was a good move, based on the number of candidates seeking office and the number of City Council seats being contested. Every one of this year’s City Council races will attract attention, but the mayor’s race could become a high-profile affair. Smothers was first elected mayor 18 years ago after service on City Council. Wagner, who likely will offer Smothers her stiffest competition, has been deeply involved in city planning and zoning and redevelopment issues in recent years. It’s almost like one of those “new generation” challenges of the longtime incumbent. We’ll see where it leads over the next few months.

Legislature makes ironic deal on corporate tax penalties
D
uring the past couple of years of recessionary budgets, revenue collections have repeatedly fallen short of projections. For North Carolina lawmakers and budget officials trying to avoid major reductions in spending that would anger their constituencies, one of the few bright spots in the revenue picture was a series of surprising gains in corporate-tax receipts that somewhat offset other losses. The new revenue didn’t come in because of higher profits. Rather, the Department of Revenue implemented changes in how it computed and collected corporate taxes, including the handy tool of a special penalty on firms that, in the department’s view, had deliberately rearranged their finances to evade their tax liability. The state used the prospect of the fine to “encourage” corporations in tax disputes to settle their cases. Think of Guido smelling the flower in his lapel before expressing his heartfelt concern about your continued safety in his neighborhood, and perhaps you’ll get a clearer picture of how it worked in practice. To allow Revenue officials to levy penalties on the basis of their impressions of the intent of corporate officers was unjust. I like the way Sen. Dan Clodfelter, a Mecklenburg Democrat, explained the problem. “We don’t do that to any other taxpayer,” he said. “That would be the equivalent of saying to somebody, ‘I’m going to really fine you a stiff fine for speeding, but I’m not going to post the speed limits.’ ” The truth is that any officer of a corporation who fails to structure his business under the law to maximize profits is in violation of his responsibility to his shareholders. The power to distinguish between sound financial
management and defrauding the state of taxes legally owed is not a power that the Department of Revenue should enjoy, given its clear financial incentive to see bad faith. Going into the 2010 session, then, the battle lines were OPINION drawn. Business lobbyists wanted the Department of Revenue to John lose its asserted authority to levy Hood special tax penalties. Revenue ■■■ wanted to keep it. Lawmakers split the difference. They agreed to codify the use of the penalties – but only after the department publishes a guide for corporations telling them in detail how to comply with North Carolina’s corporate-income tax. Was the irony lost on tax officials? Probably. That’s what makes it so revealing. The best long-term solution is to get North Carolina out of the business of levying a separate and inherently complicated tax on corporate income. There is nothing magical about income passing through an incorporated business. Just like any other form of income, it has no value until it reaches an actual person. States will always create biases and perverse incentives as long as they tax income at the corporate level and then tax it again when it is received as wages, dividends, or capital gains. Fundamental tax reform is the only final solution. In the meantime, at least, North Carolina businesses will no longer be punished for failure to comply with rules the state neglects to publish.

Cleric: Yemen is next Afghanistan
61 people killed as two trains crash in India
CAIRO (AP) – A U.S.born, al-Qaida-linked cleric warned the American people that President Barack Obama will mire U.S. forces in Yemen just as Afghanistan, in a message appearing Monday on militant websites. The 13-minute audio message, in English, comes just days after the U.S. Treasury department put Anwar al-Awlaki Al-Awlaki on its list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists. “If George W. Bush is remembered as being the president who got America stuck in Afghanistan and Iraq, it’s looking like Obama wants to be remembered as the president who got America stuck in Yemen,” he said. Separately, al-Qaida’s deputy leader Ayman alZawahri vowed that the American troops would leave both Afghanistan and Iraq in “defeat.”
SAINTHIA, India (AP) – The 22-year-old was asleep on the overnight train, headed to his distant job at a call center, when an enormous jolt awakened him and his coach flipped. He lay with his leg broken for five hours, crushed under the dead bodies of other passengers as he waited for help. The powerful crash between two express trains at a station in eastern India early Monday morning killed 61 people and injured scores more. The force of the crash was so intense the roof of one car was thrust onto an overpass above the tracks. Accidents are relatively common on India’s sprawling rail network, which is one of the world’s largest but lacks modern signaling and communication systems. Most crashes are blamed
Car bomb kills 4 north of Baghdad BAGHDAD (AP) – Police say a car bomb has killed four Iraqis and wounded 21 more in a one-time insurgent stronghold northeast of Baghdad. Police and hospital officials said the blast occurred Monday evening near a restaurant and coffee shop in Baqouba. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Indians and rescue workers gather at the site of an accident at Sainthia station, about 125 miles north of Calcutta, India, Monday. A speeding express train collided with a passenger train at the station in eastern India early Monday, mangling the carriages and killing scores of people, railway police said.
on poor maintenance and human error. It was the second major train crash in West Bengal state in two months. On May 28, a passenger train derailed and was hit by an cargo train, killing 145 people. Authorities blamed sabotage by Maoist rebels for that crash. Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee rushed to the site of Monday’s crash and raised the possibility it was another case of sabotage. But there no immediate indication that rebels were to blame, and railway officials said the cause of the crash was unclear. A handful of accidents in north India in January killed at least a dozen people and were blamed on heavy winter fog that impaired visibility. Other fatal crashes happened when rickety rail bridges give way.
Clinton refines war aims in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – Struggling to overcome growing concern about the course of the war in Afghanistan, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday she detected a subtle but favorable shift in public opinion in key ally Pakistan as she pressed Afghan leaders on reform and security improvements. Arriving in Kabul to attend an international conference on Afghanistan after two days of talks in Islamabad, Clinton said
she would urge Afghan President Hamid Karzai to follow through withpledges Clinton to improve governance and fight corruption. But she stressed that the U.S. and its partners had to police themselves in those areas too. Aboard her plane from Pakistan, Clinton said U.S. efforts to convince deeply skeptical Paki-
stanis that American interest in their country extends beyond the fight against Islamist militants appeared to be gaining ground. To boost that shift, she announced a raft of new aid projects worth $500 million in Islamabad. The projects, which include hospitals and new dams for badly needed electricity, are part of a $7.5 billion aid effort to win over Pakistanis suspicious about Washington’s goals there.

Kabul meeting to lay ground for 2014 deadline KABUL, Afghanistan – The strategy sits for now on a table in a locked-down Afghan capital: Hand over security in all 34 provinces to the government by the end of 2014 – more than three years after President Barack Obama’s date for the start of an American troop drawdown. By today, it will be adopted at a one-day international conference, giving a date for when their involvement in Afghanistan may begin to come to an end.
Israel: Rocket defense system ready to go JERUSALEM – A system that can shoot down incoming rockets has passed its last tests and will be ready for deployment in a few months, Israel’s Defense Ministry said Monday. If effective, it could have far-reaching strategic implications for Israel’s battle against militant groups on its borders. The “Iron Dome” system uses sophisticated radar to track incoming rockets, intercepting and destroying them far from their targets.

Feds: Oil, gas leaking from cap on ruptured well
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Oil and gas are leaking from the cap on BP’s ruptured oil well but the cork will stay in place for now, the federal government’s point man on the spill said Monday. The leaks – which started late Sunday night – aren’t “consequential,� retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said, relieving concerns that they are a sign the cap is creating too much pressure underground. That could mean the cap that’s stopped oil since Thursday would have to be opened. Allen said BP could continue evaluating the cap and keeping it shut, for at least another 24 hours. He said BP must keep rigorously monitoring for any signs that this test could worsen the overall situation. If there was a quick rise in pressure, the well would be vented immediately to keep from creating leaks deep underground, Allen said. The next step isn’t clear. Allen said that unless larger problems develop, he’s not inclined to loosen the cap.

President Barack Obama stands with (from left) Denise Gibson of Brooklyn, N.Y., Jim Chukalas of Fredon Township, N.J., and Leslie Macko of Charlottesville, Va., all unemployed, as he speaks about unemployment insurance and the economy in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington Monday.
60 votes in place, Democrats ready to extend jobs money Obama launched a fresh salvo on Monday, demanding that the Senate act on the legislation – after a vote already had been scheduled for today – and blasting Republicans for the holdup. “The same people who didn’t have any problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans are now saying we shouldn’t offer relief to middle-class Americans,� Obama said. Republicans say they do favor the benefits but are insisting that they be paid for with spending cuts elsewhere in the government’s $3.7 trillion budget. After
White House launches policy to protect oceans WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration on Monday announced a new national policy for strengthening the way the U.S. manages its oceans and coasts, and the Great Lakes. Officials said the framework is needed now more than ever following the massive Gulf oil spill. The policy calls for the creation of a new National Ocean Council that will coordinate the work of the many federal agencies involved in conservation and marine planning. But it creates no new restrictions or regulations, and is not expected to have any shortterm effect on offshore oil drilling.
Nancy Sutley, chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said the new policy recognizes that use of the ocean is expanding at a rate that challenges the ability to manage competing demands. Among the central tenets
of the policy is a zoning process that confines certain recreational and commercial activities to designated areas, known as marine spatial planning. Proponents of the process say it will help balance and manage competing uses of the oceans.
initially feeling heat when a lone GOP senator, Jim Bunning of Kentucky, briefly blocked a benefits extension back in February, the GOP has grown increasingly comfortable in opposing the legislation. “What the president isn’t telling the American people is that many of us in the Senate are fighting to make sure our children and grandchildren aren’t buried under a mountain of debt,� said Sen. Orrin Hatch, RUtah. “If we are going to extend unemployment benefits, then let’s do it without adding to our record debt.�

WASHINGTON (AP) – With a new face and a 60th vote for breaking a Republican filibuster, Senate Democrats are preparing to restore jobless checks for 2.5 million people whose benefits ran out during a congressional standoff over deficit spending. President Barack Obama says, “It’s time to do what’s right.� But first, Obama and his Democratic allies are pressing for maximum political advantage, blaming Republicans for an impasse that halted unemployment checks averaging $309 a week for those whose eligibility had expired.

For the first time, a vaginal gel has proved capable of blocking the AIDS virus: It cut in half a woman’s chances of getting HIV from an infected partner in a study in South Africa. Scientists called it a breakthrough in the long quest for a tool to help women whose partners won’t use condoms. The results need to be confirmed in another study, and that level of protection is probably not enough to win approval of the microbicide gel in countries like the United States, researchers say. But they are optimistic it can be improved. “We are giving hope to women,� who account for most new HIV infections, said Michel Sidibe in a statement. He is executive director of the World Health Organization’s UNAIDS program. A gel could “help us break the trajectory of the AIDS epidemic,� he said. The gel, spiked with the AIDS drug tenofovir, cut the risk of HIV infection by 50 percent after one year of use and 39 percent after 21⠄2 years.

Officials may choose school site BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – Commissioners could make a decision Thursday on what so far has been a hot property issue. The Guilford County Board of Education wants commissioners to approve $907,000 for the purchase of 45 acres of land on Stewart Mill Road in eastern Guilford County for the new southeast-area elementary school. The site is due east of Greensboro and closer
to McLeansville than the neighborhood where many parents want a new school. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners will consider the purchase during a 5:30 p.m. Thursday meeting in the Old Courthouse in Greensboro. The school board voted 7-2 last month to buy the property. Board members Paul Daniels and Darlene Garrett voted against the site. For supporters, the site offers some city water and sewer service and a bargain purchase price.
B
Some parents formed a grass-roots group, the Southeast Guilford Community Association, to lobby the school board and commissioners to place the school well south of Interstate 40-85 and closer to Southeast Guilford High School. “This location is just an invitation to developers to build in that area,” Linda Welborn told commissioners last month during comments from the floor. The result would be neighborhood children filling the new school in-
stead of those for whom it should be built, she has said. The proposed site is less than 10 miles from crowded Alamance Elementary School. School officials say the new school will take 300 to 350 students from the Alamance attendance zone, but opponents say they fear the number of Alamance transfers will drop as the Stewart Mill Road neighborhood grows. School officials plan to adjust school attendance lines. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Commissioners may rent as many as 115 parking spaces in this lot for the renovated Centennial Center (back, left), which will house the Department of Social Services and other agencies.
County to rent parking for new facility BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – With the move into new quarters at Centennial Center just weeks away, county officials have decided they want to rent as many as 115 parking spaces from the International Home Furnishings Center. The lot lies between the Department of Social Services building at 300 S. Centennial St. and Centennial Center at 325 E. Russell Ave., the new home for DSS and several other county agencies. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners
will consider the consent agenda deal Thursday during a 5:30 p.m. meeting at the Old Courthouse in Greensboro. The county would pay $15 per month per car during the market months of April and October and $7.50 during the remainder of the year. The additional spaces would allow county workers to park closer to their offices, according to county officials. County officials also are working on providing free parking for as many employees as possible. Some employees, mostly in High Point, have paid as much as $15 per month for parking.
AT A GLANCE
–
Deal: Last year, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners approved a property-swap deal with developer C. Wayne McDonald renovated for offices the Centennial Center showroom building he opened in 2005 in the former Amos Hosiery Mill. He will take possession of the vacant DSS office building at 300 S. Centennial St. as part of the $7.4 million deal. Moves: Plans include relocating the child support enforcement office at 305 N. Main St. to Centennial Center to save $90,000 in annual rent. While deciding whether to build a new DSS building or to renovate one nearby, county officials considered several parking plans, but none included a sister parking deck at Govern-
ment Plaza which would cost $20,000 to $25,000 per car space to build. County workers will move board of elections, tax department and register of deeds offices to the former
Amos Hosiery Mill. Most public contact offices will be on the first floor of the 74,000 square-foot building. After the moves, there will be more courthouse space for office expansions and meeting rooms. The board also will consider approving design plans for $1.2 million in new air conditioning equipment for the High Point courthouse and jail. Money for the High Point courthouse renovation comes partly from $5.1 million leftover from an upgrade project for the new Greensboro courthouse. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626
Congregation goes to work to help church, nonprofits BY JORDAN HOWSE ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – In hard economic times, people are getting creative to stay above water. Chris Fitzgerald, the senior pastor of First United Methodist Church of High Point, has taken a page out of Matthew’s book – of the Bible, that is. An idea stemming from the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14 inspired Fitzgerald to give back $5 to each congregation member and visitor in April. He challenged his congregation to use what-
ever means and devices to turn the $5 into a larger gift that could be given back to the community and also help the church retire some debt. “That day Pastor Chris gave the $5, HPU Choir was participating in our services,” said Associate Pastor Fran Moran. “They pulled their $5 together to support Ward Street Mission where children learn to play musical instruments.” Church member Dotty Beaston came up with the idea to sell items that people make at a monthly bazaar. The congregation
members make all kinds of baked goods and crafts to sell at the Saturday morning event. They’ve made cakes and key chains, knitted pot holders and offered cleaning services. Fitzgerald has made canvas and paper prints of an original painting, one member polishes silver and another gives lessons to help people start their family history. Several other gifts and services are offered, such as plants and an inexpensive handyman. Willie Hauser received $1,000 for three jars of her preserves.
Two-thirds of the donations received from the bazaar will go toward helping the church cut its debt. Several years back, the church bought the building next door from Garcia Imports. Although the company has been working with the church by financing part of the cost and continuing to lease the space during the biannual furniture market, the church still owes Garcia Imports about $125,000. Moran said the rest of the money raised will go to Guilford Interfaith Hospitality Network, Parkview

NC Marine killed in southern Afghanistan CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) – Department of Defense officials say a North Carolina-based Marine was killed in Afghanistan. The Department of Defense said Monday that 21year-old Cpl. Dave M. Santos of Rota, Marianas Islands of the Pacific, died July 16 in Helmand province. Santos was assigned to 2nd
Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division based at Camp Lejeune. Marines from Camp Lejeune started deploying last year to Afghanistan as part of a surge of forces to the central Asian country. June was one of the deadliest months for international forces in Afghanistan.

With weapons at the ready, U.S. Air Force personnel enter a room during a training exercise at Threat Management Group’s tactical training facility in Bowman, S.C. The global military and civilian defense and support company provides training and support to a wide range of military operations, support contractors, disaster preparedness officials, law enforcement agencies and private sector organizations.
Old SC high school becomes war zone BOWMAN, S.C. (AP) – With more non-combat personnel entering Afghanistan, U.S. military officials have seen a need for additional training to prepare troops to successfully confront hostilities there. Threat Management Group, based in Goose Creek, is helping to fill that need, providing training and support to a wide range of military operations, support contractors, disaster preparedness officials, law enforcement agencies and private sector organizations. “We grab the guys who carry a gun for a living and train the guys who don’t,� TMG CEO Brandon Cox says. “We kick their junk in. It’s pretty intense.�
Some employees work hard, others hardly work D
ear Abby: I understand the frustration of “Takes My Job Seriously� (June 1), the supervisor who complained about her female employees requesting time off for kids’ school and sports events or beauty appointments. Over the last few years I have noticed a decline in work ethic across the board. Phone calls go unreturned, workers stand around idle and errors are made on important forms. People seem to do the minimum necessary to make it to the end of the day, and supervisors aren’t much different – they allow this behavior. Years ago, people worked hard for their money. Now they hardly work. – Getting The Job Done
Dear Getting: Your letter was one of many I received filled with interesting – and varied – comments on this topic. Read on: Dear Abby: I am the owner of a recruiting company, and I agree with the writer’s views on the quality of today’s work force. I hear from many frustrated clients seeking employees who actually want to work for their paycheck. We have turned into an entitlement society. No one wants to take responsibility for his/her work or life any longer. And they expect big-time money for no responsibility. – Valerie in Georgia Dear Abby: “TMJS� fails to take into consideration the evolution of
the work force. Not only are there more women working now, but we usually ADVICE work far beyond the Dear regular 9Abby to-5 grind. ■■■As a single mom, I need flexibility in my schedule to get everything done that’s demanded of me at work and at home. I take my laptop home every night and work after my son goes to sleep. “TMJS� may feel superior because I’m not in the office as much as she is, but I’ll bet I work more hours per week. Technology now allows us the flexibility of choice. – Bonnie C.
Dear Abby: I supervise several younger women. Studies have shown that while these employees want to do a good job, they find it equally important to have “work/life� balance. I actually think they are smarter than we are. We tend to overwork and feel guilty if we take a day for ourselves. If they take the time they have earned and use it for what they enjoy – good for them. – Workaholic in Fort Collins Dear Abby: “TMJS� should update her management training. While we mourn the loss of the way things were, there have been positive changes as well. Understanding diversity in the workplace is imperative
for a successful manager. My 20-year-old would be shocked at the concept of staying in one job for 45 years – but that was the norm in my dad’s day. In this global economy, “different� does not equal “bad.� – Patty in Lancaster, Pa. Dear Abby: “TMJS� must have entered the work force when companies still took care of loyal, longtime employees by providing good benefits and job security. It paid to go the extra mile for your employer because you knew your company would return the favor when needed. In recent years this has changed. Workers today realize that sacrificing their personal life for their professional one does not necessarily reap any benefits. The so-called breakdown of the family unit may be the result of workers dedicating themselves more to their jobs than to their home lives. – Family First in Texas Dear Abby: I supervise young, highly paid federal employees and expect them to work hard for the money taxpayers pay them. They seem to think their personal problems should be mine. I disagree. A job is a privilege too many people fail to appreciate until it’s gone. – Serious, Too, in The Southwest DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
TMG is teaching a course this week to military personnel, mostly U.S. Air Force, at its tactical training facility in the old Bowman High School building on Bowman Branch Road. TMG purchased the property about a year ago. In the classrooms where the youth were once taught, military personnel are now trained in close-quarter battle. Cox, a former Air Force EOD expert, said he started the company in 2004 to better prepare military personnel whose respective branch of service didn’t have the resources or time to train in explosives recognition, hand-tohand defensive combat and closequarter combat. Prior to the wars in Iraq and Af-
ghanistan, non-combat military personnel didn’t see combat. But now, even a bus driver may be put on the front lines, Cox said. “By the time the guys leave here, they’re very, very comfortable. Very, very safe,� he said. “The idea is safety, keeping guys alive.� USAF Staff Sgt. Dallas Bozeman said he served a tour of Iraq prior to taking the courses offered. After completing the course, he was sent to Afghanistan for another tour, he said. “We saw a problem in the past – someone going in the field, basically, not knowing weapons, putting down fire,� Bozeman said. “Now, you come in for two weeks to learn your basics, firearms.�
Authorities: Missing boys presumed drowned Palladium Shopping Center
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Authorities identified two boys who are presumed to have drowned Sunday afternoon on Lake Norman during a family boating trip as search crews continued to comb the lake for their bodies. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say Derrick Alante Porter, 17, and Eric Christian Belin, 11, were swimming off a boat stopped on the lake with at least two other people at around 3 p.m. Police said Porter was from Virginia and Belin from South Carolina. The boat was stopped near Island View Drive when one of the boys began struggling, according to a police report. He tried to get back onboard, but fell into the water and slipped under.

T
he National Cancer Institute estimates that 1,529,560 men and women will be diagnosed with cancer in 2010. That number can make people think about what can be done to help prevent being in the statistic. Good nutrition is certainly one component of cancer prevention that people can practice to help reduce their risk. Many vegetables and fruits contain something called â&#x20AC;&#x153;phytochemicals,â&#x20AC;? components in plants believed to have cancer fighting properties. The American Institute for Cancer Research lists several foods with these compounds that research suggests may help with reducing cancer risk. Think about including these foods in your diet more often: â&#x20AC;˘ Beans have fiber, the B vitamin folate and protein. Beans also contain the phytochemicals protease inhibitors and phytic acid, which may protect cells from damage that can ultimately lead to cancer. Beans may be particularly helpful in preventing colorectal cancer. â&#x20AC;˘ Berries have vitamin C and fiber. The phytochemical in berries is ellagic acid, which may help prevent skin, breast and lung cancer. â&#x20AC;˘ Dark, green, leafy vegetables are good sources of fiber and folate. They also contain carotenoids, the phytochemical that may inhibit the growth of certain breast and skin cancer cells, along with lung and stomach cancers. â&#x20AC;˘ Grapes, especially red, contain polyphenols, which research shows may slow the growth of cancer cells and prevent tumors in breast, liver, lymph and stomach cells. â&#x20AC;˘ Tomatoes contain vitamin C, A and some B vitamins. They also have lycopene, which has been shown to have a connection in reducing breast, lung and endometrial cancers. â&#x20AC;˘ Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and kale have several different phytochemicals that research suggests may stop cancer cell growth in the breast, cervix, colon, endometrium, liver and lung. While each vegetable and fruit has some potential cancer fighting properties, getting a variety seems to be the best defense for preventing cancer. Summer is here, and it is a good time to take advantage of all the nutrient-packed vegetables and fruits available.

Q
uestion: I love cucumbers fresh from the garden. They are usually so cool and refreshing, but this time my cucumbers have a very bitter flavor to them. What is going on? Answer: A bitter taste in cucumbers is the result of stress. This stress can be caused by the following: â&#x20AC;˘ Too hot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One of the most common reasons why a cucumber is bitter is due to heat stress. If a plant is stressed due to heat, it may start producing bitter cucumbers. â&#x20AC;˘ Uneven watering â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Another possibility for what causes bitter cucumber is if a cucumber goes through alternating periods of drought and overwatering, the stress from this can cause the plant to produce bitter fruit. â&#x20AC;˘ Temperature fluctuations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If the temperature fluctuates dramatically from one extreme to another over an extended period of time, the plant
may start producing bitter cucumbers. â&#x20AC;˘ Heredity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perhaps the most frustrating reason why a cucumber is bitter is simple genetics. There is a recessive trait that can cause a plant to produce bitter fruit from the start. You may plant seeds from the same packet and treat them all the same, only to discover one of the plants produces bitter cucumbers. Unfortunately, once a cucumber plant starts to produce bitter fruit, it will most likely continue to produce bitter cucumbers. You should remove the plant and start over. You might try peeling off the skin and see if the bitter flavor is confined to the skin. KAREN C. NEILL,, an urban horticulture extension agent, can be contacted at the N.C.

Asthma usually controllable
D
ear Dr. Donohue I am a 50-year-old female, and I have asthma that seems to be getting worse. In October, I got the H1N1 flu and had to go to the hospital twice because of breathing problems. I get scared every time I have a simple cold. I was told that my asthma is allergy-induced, and I have been on a daily inhaler ever since. I saw an allergist, who tested me and wanted to put me on allergy shots. He said they may or may not work, but they don’t cure asthma. Then what’s the point? Does oxygen help? Are there natural ways to prevent asthma? – M.M.
BLONDIE
B.C.
Asthma is a chronic condition. Looking for a cure is not realistic in many cases. Looking for control is realistic. It’s an inflammation of the airways – the bronchi, the tubes that bring fresh air into the lungs and remove carbon dioxide from the lungs. The inflammation makes the airways very sensitive. They constrict on slight provocation and obstruct the flow of air. Furthermore, they pour out thick mucus, which adds to airflow obstruction. Respiratory viruses do trigger attacks, and that’s why the flu virus was such a problem for you. You should be sure to get the yearly flu vaccine. Allergies can be another trigger for attacks. Allergy shots are not guaranteed to stop them, but they can lessen their intensity and frequency. You might want to recon-

sider your position. Remove airborne irritants from your home and bedroom HEALTH by getting rid of Dr. Paul feather pilDonohue lows, shag ■■■ rugs and dust mites. If you have a pet, and you notice that exposure to it brings on an attack, then you have to limit where the pet is allowed in the home. An airconditioned home keeps outdoor allergens out of your environment. For an acute attack, you need a medicine that acts quickly to dilate airways. Albuterol (Proventil) is such a medicine. If your long-term control medicine isn’t preventing attacks, get another. The list of asthma medicines is very long. Oxygen is helpful in severe attacks. I know of no natural substance that alleviates asthma. Dear Dr. Donohue What do you think of the findings: “Folic acid may increase the risk of colon and prostate cancer”? I am 58, healthy, exercise and eat lots of whole grains. I also take supplements and a multivitamin. Am I at risk? – V.A. Folic acid, also called folate, is a B vitamin that takes part in the production of red blood cells and the repair of DNA. DNA is the stuff inside cells that serves as master of the cells’ functions.
A deficiency of folic acid in pregnant women can lead to serious malformations of the embryonic spinal cord. Because of that, the government has mandated that folic acid be added to many cereals, flours and pastas. Women intending to become pregnant or who are pregnant have to increase their daily dose of folic acid from the recommended 400 micrograms a day to 600-800 micrograms. The upper daily limit is set at 1,000 micrograms (1 milligram). High doses of folic acid are implicated as increasing the risk of colon, prostate, uterine and lung cancer. It is wise, therefore, to make sure to stay under the 1,000-microgram upper limit. Dear Dr. Donohue What is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and its cause? – W.H. A large number of variations of the EhlersDanlos (AH-lairs dawnLOS) syndrome are recognized. The prominent signs are joints that can be bent to extreme positions, and skin that is quite smooth, stretchable and easily damaged. It’s an inherited condition. The body makes a defective kind of collagen, material that acts as support and filler matter. Joints, ligaments and tendons contain much collagen, as does skin. The Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation (www. ednf.org) provides people with detailed information on the latest developments in this syndrome and its treatments.

Prince Frederic von Anhalt, the 93-year-old actressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eccentric husband, told a throng of reporters gathered outside their Bel-Air home Monday that Gabor underwent successful surgery to replace her right hip, which she broke over the weekend while watching her favorite game show.

But her publicist, Liz Rosenberg, said Monday the Botox was â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely not cosmetic,â&#x20AC;? and the treatment was for muscle pain in her jaw.

EMT accused of ignoring dying NYC woman is killed NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thirty-twoyear-old Jason Green had already gained notoriety last year as a New York City paramedic accused of walking away from an ailing pregnant woman who later died. He regained the spotlight again Monday because of his violent death â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gunned down on the streets of Manhattan after a fight outside a nightclub.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said Monday that there was no evidence that the brutal slaying early Green Sunday in the SoHo neighborhood was payback for the death of the pregnant woman. He denied reports
that investigators wanted to question her brother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no interest in any of her family members,â&#x20AC;? he said. Police, who were still seeking the shooter, were reviewing security videotape of the scene outside the club, Browne said. Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Douglas Rosenthal, said Monday he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;shockedâ&#x20AC;? by the news.

IGH POINT – If the work week gets you all keyed up, the YWCA of High Point wants to help you “Wine Down” – er, um, wind down – Thursday evening. The YWCA, in partnership with J.H. Adams Inn, will sponsor its inaugural “Wine Down,” a wine-tasting event being held in celebration of the organization’s 90th birthday this year. “We’re holding the event at the J.H. Adams Inn, because that was our second home,” says Heidi Majors, executive director of the YWCA, explaining that the YWCA occupied the inn building for more than two decades. The event will include a winetasting featuring wines from four North Carolina wineries – Childress Vineyards of Lexington, RagApple Lassie Vineyards of Boonville, Stonefield Cellars of Stokesdale, and Zimmerman Vineyards of Trinity. “What’s neat is that with Zimmerman, Stonefield and RagApple Lassie, they have women in leadership, and that ties in nicely

The event will also include heavy hors d’oeuvres, live jazz provided by Workbook, tours of the historic inn, and brief programs about the history of viticulture in North Carolina, led by representatives of the N.C. Center for Viticulture and Enology, which is based at Surry Community College. Tickets to the event cost $20 apiece and can be purchased at the YWCA, on its website or at the door. The first 100 people to buy a ticket will receive a complimentary wine glass. In addition, there will be a drawing for several wine-related prize packages, such as gift baskets, wines from the four winer-
ies, and dinners. Tickets for the drawing cost $5 apiece. According to Majors, the tours will incorporate information about the years that the YWCA was based in the inn building. The local YWCA, established in 1920, moved from its initial location – a renovated house at the corner of E. Green Drive and Wrenn Street, known as “The Y Hut” – in 1939. That’s when Elizabeth Adams and her daughters, Elizabeth and Nell, donated the Adams home on N. Main Street to the YWCA, in memory of their husband and father, John Hampton “Hamp” Adams. The organization thrived in its new location. According to a history of the local YWCA, count-

less World War II servicemen were entertained at functions there, the “Y-Teens” and “Y Wives” programs expanded, and the “Adams Building,” as it was called, became synonymous with all phases of girls and women’s activities in High Point. A $75,000 bequest and an ensuing fund drive led to the construction of the current facility on Gatewood Avenue, which opened in March 1961. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579
Program on radon gas dangers free to public ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
H
IGH POINT – The nonprofit Dusty Joy Foundation will present “Radon: Is Your Family at Risk?” at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the High Point Public Library. The program is free and open to the public. Dusty Donaldson, lung cancer survivor and founder of the founda-
tion, will discuss “Uncommon Lung Cancer Facts.” Then radon specialist Mike Lunsford of the N.C. Radiation Protection Section of the N.C. Environmental Health Division will tell how to test your home for radon and discuss what’s involved in removing radon from homes determined to have dangerously elevated levels. Radon is a cancer-caus-
ing, radioactive, invisible, odorless gas. Breathing air that contains radon causes lung cancer. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in people who never smoked and the number-two cause of lung cancer in smokers and former smokers. Radon can get trapped in any type of building – homes, offices and schools. Families exposed to high radon levels in
their homes are at greatest risk, because they usually spend most of their time at home. Radon testing is inexpensive and easy. If a problem is detected, relatively inexpensive options are available to remove the threat of radon from the home. The Environmental Protection Agency predicts 21,000 Americans will die from radon-induced lung cancer this

year. Statewide, 7,772 North Carolinians will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2010, according to the N.C. Central Cancer Registry, and lung cancer will claim the lives of 5,914 North Carolinians. The mission of the Dusty Joy Foundation is to educate the public about the risks and warning signs of lung cancer and cultivate compassion for those touched by the disease.
A medical-device company in North Carolina and bariatric surgeon Dr. Brian B. Quebbemann of Newport Beach, Calif., have teamed up for weight-loss surgery requiring just one incision. The operation was the first time a surgeon has used a new Spider surgical tool for an increasingly frequent form of bariatric surgery that cuts the stomach down to 20 percent of its normal capacity, Quebbemann said. The Spider system allows surgeons to operate through the belly button, using a tool containing working arms that unfold inside the patient. The operation is called “vertical sleeve gastrectomy,” which Quebbemann, surgical director at The N.E.W. Program weightloss center in Newport Beach, said is one of the fastest-growing types of bariatric surgery. The procedure is most frequently used to treat severely obese patients, but it is also effective for less obese patients with body-mass index of 30 to 35, he said. It’s an alternative to betterknown forms of weight-loss surgery – the gastric bypass, in which food is detoured around the stomach, and the Lap-Band, which creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach. The name “vertical sleeve” describes the shape of the portion of the stomach that remains after the surgery. The Spider system, produced by TransEnterix Inc. of Durham, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration last year.

CROSSWORD
Tuesday, July 20, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Sandra Oh, 39; Josh Holloway, 41; Chris Cornell, 46; Carlos Santana, 63 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You can let down your guard a little and open up to new friends or lovers this year. The people you meet will contribute to your creative drive and motivate you to follow through with plans you may have walked away from in the past. Love is in the stars and, with a little planning, you can impress someone to whom you are attracted. Your numbers are 11, 18, 24, 29, 30, 36, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): There won’t be much you can do to control your current situation, but you can prepare for what you hope to see happen in the future. Don’t share your plans, ideas or thoughts with someone who doesn’t understand your reasoning. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your relationships take an emotional turn if you are the least bit difficult to get along with. Don’t argue when what works best is collaborating and working hand-in-hand toward a common goal. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take the initiative and make things happen. Sitting back, waiting for someone to do things for you, will mean you fall behind. Don’t lose enthusiasm because of the way someone reacts toward you or what you are doing. Jealousy will be the cause. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take on a task at home you’ve been putting off and you will find it gets rid of some of the pent-up tension you’ve been feeling. The way will be paved for exciting, new developments. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It will be difficult to hide your feelings, so face any controversy and put it behind you. Once you have gotten rid of some of your anxiety, you should make plans to visit a place you enjoy. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can sign a deal or settle a difference that puts more cash in your hands. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. You have plenty to offer. Love is present but won’t develop unless you send the right signals. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can expect to face some challenges, brought on by someone who doesn’t want to see you advance. But you can handle it with ease. Do note, however, who is and who is not your friend and ally. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t believe everything you hear, especially from someone who wants to manipulate a decision you must make. Love is on the rise and working together with someone who shares the same goal as you will pay off. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Show your dedication and loyalty. Complaining or showing dissatisfaction will work against you. The more diplomatic and complimentary you are, the easier it will be to get others to do things your way. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You cannot go wrong as long as you stay on track and manage your money with care. Someone you are fond of will want to work alongside you, offering all sorts of perks as well as genuine help that will ensure your success. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep a close watch and you will know who is on your side and who isn’t. You may be surprised to discover that someone who has always been there for you is still standing in the background to catch you if you fall. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll have to make a tough call. Make sure you know what’s being asked of you before moving forward. You may end up in an emotional mess if you don’t take care of your own responsibilities first. ★★

Today’s East was Grapefruit, my club’s sourpuss, who never wins arguments by reason but often does so by volume. West was a player coping as best he could. Against 3NT West led the deuce of hearts, and Grapefruit took the ace and returned the six. South thought the EastWest hearts were divided 4-4, and he was afraid of a club shift anyway, so he took the king. West followed with the seven.
OVERTRICK South then led a spade to dummy and returned the queen of diamonds. West won, cashed his queen of hearts and tried leading a low club, but South put up dummy’s king; he was always down if East had the ace. South then ran the spades and diamonds for an overtrick, and Grapefruit roared that West’s ignorance was encyclopedic. “I plead stupidity,” West growled. If Grapefruit’s six was his original fourth-highest, South’s king was his only higher heart. So West could unblock his queen under the king. When West got in, he could lead his last heart for East to run the hearts.
HOROSCOPE
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 7 6 5 4 H Q 7 2 D K 6 C A 10 7 6. Your partner opens one diamond, you respond one spade, he bids two hearts and you try 2NT. Partner next bids three diamonds. What do you say? ANSWER: Your partner has “reversed” and promises a powerful hand, probably with six diamonds and four hearts. His hand may be as strong as A K, A J 8 3, A Q J 9 5 2, 3, and since you have three useful honors, slam is possible. Cue-bid four clubs to show your ace as a try for slam. North dealer Both sides vulnerable
ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Parker sparks West BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
GREENSBORO – Considering the best women’s basketball players in the state shot 28 percent from the field Monday night, it’s a good thing folks such as Cheyenne Parker were around. The former Southwest Guilford star corralled a game-high 13 rebounds, blocked a pair of shots and altered numerous others to help her team to a 62-55 win in the 36th annual East-West All-Star Game. Parker, a 6-foot-4 post presence headed to High Point University, was in the starting lineup and finished with six points. “I got to meet people who are going to all different schools. It was a great experience,” Parker said. “It felt really good.” Parker took a couple of nice passes from West sparkplug Shannon Smith as the West opened an early 15-point lead. The athletic point guard, set to join the North Carolina Tar Heels next month, played at a breakneck pace no matter the fact it was an exhibition. “You’ve got to go hard or go home in high school basketball,” said Smith, the former Gastonia Forestview star, who drew gasps from the Greensboro Coliseum crowd when she crashed to the court while fighting for a loose ball in the third quarter. “Man, I thought
I was about to have a concussion. It hurt like crazy, but I tried to fight through the pain.” Smith earned MVP honors with a game-high 15 points to go along with five assists. The West, which now trails the alltime series 19-17, also got 11 points from Chelsea Connelly of Morganton Freedom and 10 points and nine rebounds from Forestview’s Kelsey Harris. Williamston’s Katie Paschal led the East with 10 points. Quinyotta Pettaway of Perquimans tallied eight points and 10 rebounds, while Breezy Williams of Northern Durham added six points and 10 boards for the East. The East pulled within 35-29 at halftime and trailed by just one late in the third quarter before a number of misses helped the West stay ahead 4643. Paschal’s jumper with five minutes remaining pulled East even at 53-all, but Harris’ three-point play and a drive by Connelly stretched the margin. Smith sealed the win with a reverse layup and two free throws, and Parker added a key block in the lane to help hold East without a field goal in the final four minutes. “That felt really good,” Parker said. “I should have had more blocks, but what what are you gonna do?” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526
GREENSBORO – Aaron Toomey enjoyed a number of remarkable moments during his days at Bishop McGuinness. His prep career included one last thrill that not even the disappointment of a loss could taint. The point guard brought the crowd of 2,982 at the Greensboro Coliseum to its feet with a 3pointer that tied Monday night’s East-West All-Star Game with 25 seconds remaining. An East free throw with three seconds left proved to be the winning margin of a 99-98 thriller.

Cheyenne Parker (right) of the West battles the East’s Rena Wakama (Wake Forest/Rolesville) for a rebound during Monday night’s East-West All-Star game at the Greensboro Coliseum. Parker, who starred at Southwest Guilford High School, finished with 13 rebounds, six points and two blocked shots in 22 minutes of action to spark the West to a 62-55 victory.
of the night, but roared back to capture most valuable player honors. The Kinston star shot just 2-for-7 in the first half and drew groans when he turned an early fastbreak into a mundane layup. But the 6-foot-7, 205-pound power forward came through in the clutch, scoring six quick points to turn what had been an 18-point deficit in the third quarter into a four-point game early in the fourth. The West held its last lead at 8986 on Corey Hensley’s post move with 4:24 remaining. The East seemed to have the game won after leading 98-93 in the final min-
ute before a layup and Toomey’s heroics after a turnover tied it. Another East turnover nearly ensued before TaShawn Mabry picked up a loose ball in the lane and was fouled with 3.6 seconds to play. He hit one foul shot to break the tie, and the West failed to get off a contested shot at the buzzer. Bullock finished with 20 points to lead five East players in double figures. Preston Ross had 19 and Mabry 17. Hensley led the West with 22 points. Future High Point University player Justin Cheek had four points for the West. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526
Womble shares lead at U.S. Junior Amateur ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
ADA, Mich. – Wesleyan Christian Academy rising junior Davis Womble shot a 5-under-par round of 67 on Monday to share first place with two others at the 63rd U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. Starting on the back nine, Womble enjoyed a three-hole birdie binge from Nos. 11-13, then made the turn at 5-under with two more birdies at the 17th and 18th. Womble got it all the way to 6-under with another birdie at No. 5, but had his lone bogey of the day at the par-3 eighth. Jordan Spieth of Dallas and Stephen Behr of Florence, S.C., also
finished rounds of 67 at Egypt Valley Country Club. Spieth won last year’s event and made headlines in the spring when he made the cut at the PGA Tour’s Byron Nelson Championship. He was the sixthyoungest player to make a cut in PGA Tour history. Four players sat a shot back at 4-under, with a group of seven at 3under. Twenty-four players were under par for the day. Womble concludes stroke play today, teeing off from the first tee at 8:20 a.m. The top 64 players from the 156-player field will advance to the match-play portion of the event.

“I knew we needed points,” Toomey said. “I just let it fly and thankfully it went in. Certainly you want to win, but obviously you’re out here to Toomey have fun, too. That was definitely a thrill for me.” Toomey was one of the many players in the 62nd annual showcase – now tied at 31 wins apiece – heading to smaller colleges. He’ll play Division III basketball next year at Amherst. The game’s biggest name – future Tar Heel Reggie Bullock – seemed impossibly quiet for most
ne of my favorite record albums was titled “50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can’t Be Wrong.” This classic disc was subtitled “Elvis’ Gold Records, Volume 2” and featured such smash hits as “I Need Your Love Tonight,” “Don’t,” “I Got Stung,” “A Big Hunk O’ Love” and “A Fool Such As I.” I share this info because I thought about that record when I heard about the TV ratings for LeBron James’ July 8 ESPN special entitled “The Decision.”

WHO’S NEWS
Bishop’s Toomey delivers long-range drama BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
TOP SCORES
Apparently, 9.95 million TV viewers can be fooled by pro basketball’s self-proclaimed “King.” That’s how many folks tuned in to see James’ shameless, self-centered announcement he was signing with the Miami Heat. I’m proud to confirm I was not one of them. James’ show, which I refer to as the “Monster Sham,” was the third-most-watched cable TV program so far in 2010, trailing only the 12.3 million who tuned in for the NFL Pro Bowl and 11.2 million who watched an epi-
sode of “ICarly” on Nickelodeon in January. Feel free to insert your own joke about the NFL Pro Bowl here. I’m not knocking James’ athletic ability. He’s an amazing talent. But this whole ridiculous episode left me with one burning question: Will Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Pat Riley be able to carry James to his first NBA championship? Only time will tell.

Atlanta Braves pitcher Jonny Venters has been suspended for four games and fined by Major League Baseball for throwing consecutive pitches at Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder last weekend. Baseball’s vice president in charge of discipline Bob Watson also said Monday that Braves manager Bobby Cox has been suspended for one game. Cox will serve the suspension during Tuesday’s game against San Diego. Venters will start his penalty today unless the players’ association appeals. Both were ejected for their actions Saturday. Cox’s ejection was his record 156th and third this season. One inning after Fielder’s homer started a five-run inning for the Brewers in a 6-3 win, Venters threw a pitch over his head. Plate umpire Angel Hernandez warned both benches and Venters hit Fielder in the back with the next pitch. Cox earned an automatic ejection when he came out of the dugout to argue. Watson said he was suspended for Venters’ intentional actions after a warning had been issued.

NCAA investigating one of SC’s athletic programs COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina athletic director Eric Hyman says the NCAA is investigating a possible rules violation of one of its athletic programs. Hyman released a statement on Sunday night saying the school has cooperated and will continue working with the NCAA on its inquiry, although did not detail what program was being investigated. Tight end Weslye Saunders has been identified by various media reports as the target of the investigation. Saunders would not discuss his conversations with the NCAA when reached by phone Monday. “I don’t want to talk right now,” he told The Associated Press. Coach Steve Spurrier told The (Columbia) State that he has no knowledge of Saunders breaking any rules. “All I know is they had talked to him, and talked to some players at North Carolina. That’s all I know,” Spurrier told the paper. “Whatever comes (of it), we’ll just have to wait and see. “We’re not going to look the other way like possibly Southern California did,” Spurrier continued. “We’re going to abide by the rules.” Last month, the NCAA hit Southern California with a two-year bowl ban, four years of probation, loss of scholarships and forced the Trojans to forfeit an entire year’s games for lack of institutional control for providing improper benefits to athletes. Hyman, who was out of the office, said through a spokesman Monday he did not want to expand on his earlier statement. Calls and messages to Spurrier, returning from a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada, were not immediately returned. Calls to Saunders’ father, Barry, a news columnist at a Raleigh newspaper, also were not returned. The NCAA has been investigating the North Carolina football program. Saunders is a 6-foot-5, 280 pound senior from Durham, N.C. He was South Carolina’s third-leading receiver last season with a career-best 32 catches and three touchdowns. Saunders considered jumping to the NFL, but decided to play his senior season with the Gamecocks. Saunders was suspended briefly in January for missing the team’s first meeting of the offseason. However, he was reinstated by Spurrier about a week later.

Thunder assistant Cho named new Blazers GM PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oklahoma City assistant general manager Rich Cho has been named the new GM of the Portland Trail Blazers. Cho, 44, has been assistant for the Thunder for the past nine seasons. The northwest native joined the team as an intern when the franchise was based in Seattle. “Everyone I spoke to about Rich commented not just on his qualifications but on who he is as a person,” Blazers president Larry Miller said in a statement. “He is well known for his ability to connect genuinely with people. Rich will be a great fit for our organization and for Portland. He is an executive on the rise and we’re thrilled to have him as a Trail Blazer.” Terms of the contract with Cho were not disclosed. The Blazers scheduled a news conference on Monday to discuss the appointment. Cho replaces Kevin Pritchard, who helped usher the team out of the Jail Blazers era but was fired shortly before the NBA draft last month. During his time in Seattle Cho worked closely with Microsoft to develop a comprehensive player evaluation system. A member of the Washington State Bar, he also served as a vice president in charge of legal affairs for the SuperSonics from 2005-07, handling issues including licensing agreements and employment contracts. “He has been the most sought after NBA executive over the past couple of years,” said Blazers coach Nate McMillan, who worked with Cho in Seattle. “He can get deals done and make things happen. “Next steps will be to finalize my coaching staff. I hope to make that announcement later this week” Cho, who also has worked at Boeing, is a graduate of Washington State. He attended law school at Pepperdine.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
PINEHURST – High Point’s Cecily Overbey, who as a rising freshman at Wesleyan Christian Academy is one of the youngest players to have qualified for the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship, shot an opening 40-46–86 at The Country Club of North Carolina on Monday. Danielle Kang shot a sizzling 5-under-par 67 in the first round of stroke play. The 17-year-old from Thousand Oaks, Calif., who is playing in her fourth Girls Junior, recorded seven birdies and two bogeys on the par-72, 6,331-yard Dogwood Course at CCNC. A trio of players were three strokes off the lead, led by 12-year-old Megan Khang of Rockland, Mass. Also finishing at 2-under 70 were 16-yearold Ginger Howard of Bradenton, Fla., who played a bogey-free first round, and 15-year-old Summar Roachell of Conway, Ark., who bogeyed her first two holes but came back with four birdies, including one at the sixth hole when she holed out from a greenside bunker.

Cardinals pound Kendrick, Phillies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS – Albert Pujols’ tworun home run in the fifth inning began a barrage of four long balls in a span of six at-bats and Blake Hawksworth survived a rocky start in the St. Louis Cardinals’ 8-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Rookie Allen Craig added his first career homer and Skip Schumaker hit his third of the season in a fiverun fifth against Kyle Kendrick. Randy Winn led off the sixth with a pinch-hit shot off Chad Durbin. The four-homer game tied a season best for the NL Central leaders, who have won a season-high six in a row and are a season-best 11 games over .500.
Kendrick (5-4) surrendered seven runs in five innings, coughing up a 4-2 lead as the Phillies lost for the fourth time in five games. Ryan Howard, who grew up in suburban St. Louis, had two hits and an RBI and is a .382 hitter with seven homers and 30 RBIs in 18 games at 5year-old Busch Stadium. Jon Jay doubled for the second time for an RBI before Pujols hit his 22nd homer and first since the All-Star break for a 5-4 lead. Pujols also doubled and had a run-scoring groundout. The three-homer inning was the Cardinals’ first since June 19, 2009, when Ryan Ludwick hit a grand slam and Rick Ankiel, Khalil Greene connected on consecutive
at-bats off Kyle Davies at Kansas City. The Cardinals have four four-homer games this season, but hadn’t hit four at home since July 17, 2008, when they had four solo shots to beat the Padres’ Jake Peavy.
RAYS 8, ORIOLES 1 BALTIMORE – Rookie Wade Davis allowed one run over eight innings in another sparkling performance against the Baltimore Orioles, Evan Longoria had two hits during a seven-run third inning and the Tampa Bay Rays rolled to an 8-1 victory. Jason Bartlett drove in two runs for the Rays, who are 4-0 against the Orioles at Camden Yards.
Padres give Black 3-year contract extension SAN DIEGO (AP) – In four-plus seasons as manager of the San Diego Padres, Bud Black has dealt with his closer leaving town, his ace being traded and a change in owners and general managers. All that, and he’s got his surprising Padres playing so well that they’ve been atop the NL West much of the season and have the NL’s best record. On Monday, the Padres gave Black a three-year contract extension through 2013, with club options for the 2014 and 2015 seasons. “There are a lot of challenging
decisions that have to be made day to day; this was not a tough one,” co-owner Jeff Moorad said. “If there ever was an easy decision to extend the manager, this was it. Bud epitomizes what we’re doing with the club, both today as well as going forward.” The Padres, who were off Monday before starting a series at NL East-leading Atlanta today, have a four-game lead over the Colorado Rockies. Their 54-37 record is thirdbest in the big leagues, behind the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays.
San Diego took over first place in the NL West on April 20 and has been out of the lead only a total of three days since then. “I think Bud and his staff deserve an awful lot of credit for helping mold and guide this club to this point,” Moorad said. “Bud was always one of the smarter players on the field. It’s not a surprise that he’s as masterful at handling everything from the play-calling to the player transactions, as skillfully as he does.” Black, a left-hander, pitched in the big leagues for 15 seasons.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh had some free agency business. Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul need to heal injuries. Time to start choosing their replacements. While its recent mainstays take the summer off, the United States gets back to work Tuesday in Las Vegas, opening training camp for the players competing for a chance to play in the world championships. “I think everyone is antsy to get going again. It’ll be fun because we’ve got a bunch of young guys who are very hungry and it’s a different group,” USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said. “It’s challenging, but it’s also exciting. That’s the way we choose to look at it.” The new-look team still has plenty of talent, including NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant, perennial All-Stars Amare Stoudemire and Chauncey Billups, and Lamar Odom and Rajon Rondo, last seen on the court in Game 7 of the NBA finals. The camp roster includes 21 players who will practice through Friday, working some of the time against a group of 20 college seniors. The week ends with an intrasquad game Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center. The roster could then be trimmed before the team reconvenes next month in New York to continue its training before leaving for Europe.
The world championships run Aug. 28-Sept. 12 in Turkey. Colangelo won’t make any predictions about who will make the final roster, saying the team is “just wide open as to what our plan is.” Durant is considered a lock, having nearly made the team that played in the 2007 Olympic qualifier before he played his first NBA game. There were no such questions about the roster the last time the Americans played. Most of the team had been together three years before they won gold in the 2008 Olympics, and the core of that team committed early last year to return for another run. But it wasn’t long before talk of free agency put the status of Miami’s new trio in jeopardy. Those who aren’t under contract don’t chance playing in the summer, and though they’ve already signed their deals, it was obvious they wouldn’t be taking part. “That all took its toll. Everything centered around free agency, certainly took the focus away from the world championships. We definitely have our share of guys who couldn’t participate anyway,” Colangelo said, citing injuries to Bryant, Paul, Deron Williams and Tayshaun Prince. Carmelo Anthony was just married, and Colangelo said other players just wanted some time off, so he decided all of them could have a pass without jeopardizing their status in the program.
In offseason of change, Heat point job unsettled MIAMI (AP) – LeBron James will play some point guard for the Miami Heat. So will Dwyane Wade, as he has throughout his NBA career. Mike Miller will likely do some ballhandling as well. Thing is, none of them are true point guards. And that means this Heat summer of change still has some things left to address – particularly finding a starter at the point spot. Mario Chalmers is under contract, Carlos Arroyo is expected to
re-sign with the Heat and there’s some talk of a possible Miami reunion with 2006 titleteam point guard Jason Williams. Whomever it is, the next starter for the Heat will inherit the keys to what could be one of basketball’s most dynamic offenses with Wade, James and Chris Bosh. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Chalmers said. Throughout their seven seasons in the league, both Wade and James have regularly done point-guard duty.

South Africa celebrates Oosthuizen’s win at Old Course
AP
Andy Schleck of Luxembourg, wearing the overall leader’s yellow jersey, is followed by Alberto Contador of Spain (center) and his Astana teammates as they climb towards Port de Bales pass during the 15th stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 187.5 kilometers (116.5 miles) with start in Pamiers and finish in Bagneres-de-Luchon, Pyrenees region, France, on Monday.
Chain, and gloves, off in Tour de France showdown BAGNERES-DE-LUCHON, France (AP) – The gloves have come off at the Tour de France. Andy Schleck was fighting mad after dropping his chain during a tough climb Monday and then losing the overall lead when defending champion Alberto Contador unabashedly sped ahead to take the yellow jersey. “He can be nervous for the next days ... this gives me anger,” said Schleck, vowing revenge. “I’m not the one who will get chased any more, I’m the one who chases. That’s a big difference.” The episode highlighted the often-unclear etiquette of cycling’s greatest race, where the wearer of the yellow jersey is conferred almost queen-bee-like respect – and taking advantage of mishaps out of his control is frowned upon. The breach came on a day when France’s Thomas Voeckler came out of a long breakaway to win the 15th stage from Pamiers to Bagneres to Luchon, finishing a 116.5-mile trek that included the merciless Port de Bales climb in 4 hours, 44 minutes, 51 seconds. Contador, who gained time while Schleck was putting his chain back on and during a high-speed downhill to the finish, crossed 2:50 back in seventh, while Schleck came in 12th – 3:29 after Voeckler. After more than two weeks and 1,800 miles of racing, the two-time champion from Spain leads Schleck by merely 8 seconds. Spain’s Samuel Sanchez is third, 2:00 back. With Schleck only 31 seconds ahead going into Monday’s stage and big Pyrenean climbs ahead promising a shakeout, tensions were certain to escalate. The two selfavowed friends had spent one calmer day in this Tour discussing a recent vacation getaway they had had together. The friendship is now apparently on hold. “We’re only here in a bike race, so let’s leave it that way,” Schleck said after a long pause, when asked if he and Contador were still friends. “I think everybody can make his opinion about the race today.” Schleck hit the accelerator in an attack about 2.5 miles from the top of the Port de Bales, but his chain came unfurled. For a few seconds he pedaled on in disbelief before stopping to fumble with his chain as Contador and other top riders sped by. At the finish, Schleck swatted back reporters and gritted his teeth in anger. Contador said such woes are part of the sport, and insisted he didn’t know about his rival’s troubles right away.
TOUR DE FRANCE AT A GLANCE
---
BAGNERES-DE-LUCHON, France (AP) – A brief look at Monday’s 15th stage of the Tour de France: Stage: The 15th stage took riders on a 116.5-mile ride from Pamiers to Bagneresde-Luchon, on the French-Spanish border, over a major climb but finishing on the flat. Winner: Thomas Voeckler won after a solo ride over the Port de Bales and the long stretch down into Bagneres-de-Luchon. Yellow Jersey: Defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain took the jersey of overall leader by 8 seconds after Andy Schleck suffered a mechanical problem. A furious Schleck insisted the group of riders should have followed cycling etiquette and waited for him after his chain fell off. Quote of the Day: “For sure, these guys don’t get the fair-play prize today” – Schleck Today’s stage: The 16th stage, the third in the Pyrenees, is one of the toughest of all, taking the riders 124 miles from Bagneresde-Luchon to Pau. The course goes over the major climbs of the Col de Peyresourde, Col d’Aspin and Col d’Aubisque, as well as the legendary Col du Tourmalet.
“Those are the circumstances of the race,” he said. “I knew there would be a debate after that, but I attacked before I knew he had a problem with his chain, and I was already ahead when I knew it.” “I understand he’s disappointed.” He wasn’t alone. Contador heard nearly as many boos as cheers when he donned the coveted yellow shirt for the first time this year at the awards ceremony after the stage. “I’m not going to cry over the yellow jersey,” Schleck said. Lance Armstrong knows about the unwritten race rules – and two instances in the Pyrenees stand out during his seven-year reign of domination at the Tour. In 2001, he slowed down after top rival Jan Ullrich crashed on a fast descent from the Peyresourde pass. Two years later, the German and other riders waited for Armstrong after a fan’s outstretched handbag snagged his handlebars — hurtling him to the asphalt on the ascent to Luz-Ardiden. Armstrong went on to win both of those stages. Another difference with Monday’s outcome was that both of those instances in-
volved crashes, where the Tour’s unwritten code is somewhat clearer about not taking advantage of the yellow jersey’s struggles. Schleck himself benefited from Contador’s sense of fair play earlier this Tour. In Stage 2 into Spa on July 5, the Spaniard waited when Schleck went down in one of an array of crashes on rain-slickened roads. “Alberto was one of the guys who waited for me in Spa, so that was really ’chapeau’ (hat’s off),” said Schleck. “Today was a different story, a different scenario.” As the July 25 finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris looms, the competition and nerves in the pack are heating up – but sportsmanship should still take precedence, Schleck said. “Today, you know, everybody is in panic, they see already the Eiffel Tower. I would not have taken advantage of the situation,” he said. “It’s not up to me ... but for sure these guys don’t get the fair-play prize today.” “I wouldn’t want to take the jersey like that.” Armstrong said Monday’s case wasn’t so clear cut. “It’s better to wait, but this is different because this was the last climb of the race, and the race was really on,” said Armstrong, who is 31st overall, 40:31 behind Contador. There was also some question about whether Schleck might have caused the chain to come off by shifting gears during a rapid acceleration. Voeckler captured his second Tour stage in as many years – he also won solo in Perpignan last year – and gave France its fifth stage victory at this year’s race. The BBox Bouygues Telecom rider held the yellow jersey for nine days in 2004, until Armstrong took it off him. With two more grueling Pyrenean stages and a time trial still on tap, Schleck and Contador said they didn’t think Monday’s 39-second turnaround will affect who wears yellow home. Today’s 16th stage, the third day in the Pyrenees, is one of the toughest this year – taking the riders 124 miles from Bagneresde-Luchon to Pau. The course goes over the major climbs of the Col de Peyresourde, Col d’Aspin and Col d’Aubisque, but the highlight will be the first of two crossings of the legendary Col du Tourmalet. Schleck vowed Monday’s episode would become a big motivator. “I’ve got fire in my belly,” he said. “The race is not finished, and I will take my revenge in the next days.”
NASCAR STAR MONTOYA WELCOMES 3RD CHILD
Titans, Johnson agree to revised deal
MIAMI (AP) – NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya and his wife Connie have welcomed their third child. Montoya announced the arrival of daughter Manuela on Monday through his Twitter account. Manuela joins brother Sebastian and sister Paulina. The 34-year-old Colombian said both mother and baby are doing great. The birth following a rare NASCAR off week means Montoya will almost certainly be in Indianapolis this weekend for the 400-mile Cup race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Montoya is 21st in the standings a season after making NASCAR’s Chase for the championship. NASCAR is in the midst of a baby boom this season: Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and Elliott Sadler all became first-time fathers this year, and Jeff Gordon and his wife are expecting later this year.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Chris Johnson’s agent says the running back and the Tennessee Titans have agreed on a revised deal that will ensure he reports with the rest of the team for training camp. Agent Joel Segal confirmed the deal Monday to The Associated Press. Segal would not say how much of a raise Johnson is getting, but did say the running will get a pay increase. Johnson will reportedly earn $2.5 million this season under the revised deal. It’s not the minimum $30 million in guaranteed money the AP 2009 Offensive Player of the Year had been saying he wanted after becoming just the sixth back to run for
---
at least 2,000 yards. However, he no longer will be the lowest-paid running back on the Titans roster with a base salary of $550,000. The raise will also prevent him from missing training camp when the Titans report on July 30 after sitting out the offseason in protest. The Titans declined to confirm the deal Monday, and Johnson did not respond to messages left on his cell phone by the AP. The avid tweeter also had posted only one message Monday, a rare drought for the running back. Team officials had insisted Johnson was under contract for three more years and that rules limiting pay hikes to 30 percent in the league’s labor agreement made it impossible
to give Johnson a huge raise. Johnson still wants a long-term deal, but for now he can focus reaching his next goal – Eric Dickerson’s NFL rushing record of 2,105 set in 1984. Johnson came up short with his 2,006 yards.
JOHANNESBURG (AP) – A week after the World Cup, South African leaders are basking in Louis Oosthuizen’s overwhelming victory at the British Open. Minister of Sport Makhenkesi Stofile and the country’s ruling party lauded Oosthuizen for his sevenstroke victory at St. Andrews on Sunday, saying he has strengthened the nation’s sports credentials. Oosthuizen won on the same day South Africa celebrated the 92nd birthday of former president Nelson Mandela. South Africa, the successful host for soccer’s first World Cup staged on the continent, has said it will bid to bring the Olympics to Africa for the first time in 2020. Oosthuizen’s triumph also follows the winning return of South African runner Caster Semenya, who was embroiled in a gender controversy before being cleared to continue competing as a woman. This “shows that we are not just champion hosts,” Stofile said. Semenya, the 800meter world champion, won her second consecutive comeback race in Finland on Sunday after being cleared by track’s governing body to return to competition following gender tests. Semenya won her first comeback race Thursday, having not run competitively since capturing the world title in Berlin last August. The African National Congress said Oosthuizen underlined that South Africans can win on the world stage. “This shows that besides hosting soccer and cricket international tournaments successfully, we are an excelling sporting nation,” ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu said. “Louis Oosthuizen’s victory shows clearly that South Africa has the capacity to do other things and do them successfully. We are really proud of his performance.”
CANES SIGN NASH

RALEIGH (AP) – The Carolina Hurricanes have signed center Riley Nash to a threeyear contract. The entry-level deal announced Monday will pay Nash $550,000 next season, $600,000 in 2011-12 and $700,000 in 2012-13 at the NHL level. He will earn $65,000 per season if he plays in the American Hockey League. Nash also receives a signing bonus of $262,500. The 21-year-old Nash completed his third season at Cornell, finishing with 12 goals and 23 assists.

Homebuilders losing confidence in recovery WASHINGTON (AP) – Homebuilders are feeling increasingly pessimistic about their industry, more evidence that the economic recovery is slowing. The National Association of Home Builders said Monday that its monthly reading of builders’ sentiment about the housing market sank to 14 – the lowest level since March 2009. Readings below 50 indicate negative sentiment about the market. The weak job market and an increasing number of foreclosed proper-

Jennifer Convertibles files for Chapter 11 WOODBURY, N.Y. – Jennifer Convertibles has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following liquidity problems. The sofabed retailer has agreed with its largest creditor and foreign supplier Haining Mengnu Co. to convert a large part of its pre-filing debt into equity of the company. Jennifer Convertibles, based in Woodbury, N.Y., says it was unable to get alternative financing to avoid filing for bankruptcy protection. The company plans to keep operating and does not expect the filing to hurt its fulfillment of existing or future customer orders.
Hotel chain seeks bankruptcy protection PALM BEACH, Fla. – Innkeepers USA Trust says it is seeking bankruptcy protection under a plan that would give one of the extended-stay hotel operator’s major creditors substantially all of the equity in the company. Innkeepers said Monday it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New York, listing more than $1 billion in assets and liabilities.
Nokia Siemens to buy Motorola wireless unit NEW YORK – The long-planned breakup of Motorola Inc., one of the founders of the U.S. electronics industry, came a step closer Monday with a deal to sell most of its wireless networks division. The deal to sell the division for $1.2 billion to Nokia Siemens Networks, a Finnish-German joint venture, sets Motorola up to separate its cell phone manufacturing operations from the police radio business early next year, essentially dividing the 82-year-old company into three parts.

ties have prompted builders to limit construction of new homes. A modest revival in sales over the past year ended in May after federal tax credits expired at the end of April. Conditions are not likely to improve soon. Reports this week on new home construction and previously owned home sales in June are expected to show the housing market remains deeply hobbled. An update on the Obama administration’s effort to help those in danger of losing their
homes is also expected today. While the overall economy appears unlikely to fall back into recession, many analysts expect housing to struggle for some time. “With growth slumping again, and unemployment hovering near the double digits, we simply don’t have the necessary ingredients for a sustainable recovery in housing,” said Mike Larson, real estate and interest rate analyst at Weiss Research.
Gas prices down; oil goes up THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Motorists are filling their tanks with gasoline that’s cheaper than just a month ago, a trend that’s likely to continue for the rest of the summer. The national average for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline was $2.722 Monday, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. That’s about 0.7 cent less than it was a month ago but around 25 cents higher than a year ago. The highest pump prices are in the West, where they average from $2.847 a gallon to $3.499. Travelers across Texas and much of the Midwest are seeing some of the lowest prices, averaging from $2.468 a gallon to $2.577 a gallon. The Energy Depart-
ment releases its weekly report on pump prices around the country Monday afternoon. Gasoline demand has been fairly weak for the traditionally busy summer driving season, as Americans hold on to their cash in the uncertain economy. Oil and gas supplies remain ample, which should translate into declining pump prices, said PFGBest analyst Phil Flynn. “My best guess is that prices will continue to go down, and if we can get the price of crude oil to break a little bit, they could fall precipitously,” he said. Oil prices rose 72 cents to $76.73 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, as investors kept an eye on potential tropical storms in the Atlantic and improving stock markets.
Liberty Tax CEO floats H&R Block merger proposal NEW YORK (AP) – A former H&R Block Inc. employee who once tried to convince the nation’s largest tax company that the future was in computerized preparation now has his sights on taking over at his old firm. John Hewitt, founder and CEO of Liberty Tax Service, said Monday he is trying to contact departing board member Thomas Bloch to discuss the potential for combining his privately held company with Kansas City, Mo.-based H&R Block. “With my leadership and the name and backing of the Bloch family, we could put a great company going back
in the right direction,” said Hewitt. Thomas Bloch, a former CEO and the son of H&R Block’s founder, on Friday submitted his resignation from the board. He cited various differences with the board and recently reappointed CEO Richard Breeden for his departure. Speculation regarding some kind of tie-up for Block sent shares up 66 cents, or 4.6 percent, to $14.64 in afternoon trading, making it the day’s largest gainer in the Standard & Poor’s 500. H&R Block declined to comment on the matter. Any potential combination is still some distance away.

Stocks end wild day with small gain NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market is fulfilling predictions of an uneasy trek through secondquarter earnings season. Stocks ended a choppy day Monday with a moderate rebound that sent the Dow Jones industrial average up 56 points. Analysts said the advance was due in part to investors’ regaining their optimism about earnings. But that change in sentiment was fleeting: After the market closed, IBM reported revenue that fell short of expectations, and investors were back to selling in after-hours trading. IBM Corp. did issue a more upbeat forecast for its 2010 earnings that in the past would have lifted stocks. But with investors increasingly on edge about signs of trouble in the economy, many decided not to share in IBM’s more confident view of the future. “The market is caught up by this fear factor over how much the economy has slowed and what does it mean in terms of future earnings growth,” Peter Cardillo, chief market economist for Avalon Partners in New York, said before the market closed. Stocks fell across a variety of industries in after-hours trading. Investors also punished Texas Instruments Inc. after the chip maker matched but didn’t surpass analysts’ second-quarter revenue predictions.

Halliburton reports 83 percent profit surge
AP
A Boeing 787 Dreamliner lands at Farnborough airport for the Farnborough International Airshow in England Sunday. Deliveries of the long-range passenger jet to the first Japanese customer have been delayed by more than two years due to production problems.
Air show kicks off with small flurry of orders FARNBOROUGH, England (AP) – Boeing Co. and European arch rival Airbus racked up billions of dollars worth of aircraft sales at the Farnborough International Airshow on Monday, raising hopes that the aviation industry has touched the bottom of a deep twoyear downturn. But the horizon remains clouded – major European airlines, which are still haunted by recession, mostly kept their hands in their pockets as Middle Eastern carriers and U.S. plane leasing firms made purchases to build up their fleets. The optimism also isn’t extending to the defense side of the sector where massive cuts to Western military budgets were the talk of the industry’s premier event. The biennial gathering at an airfield outside London – bringing to-
gether plane makers, airlines, government officials and military top brass – is considered by industry watchers a key test of the industry’s health. More than 1,000 exhibitors from 38 countries have signed up for Farnborough, with delegations from Egypt, Taiwan and Morocco attending for the first time. Organizers also cited stronger interest from major players China and Russia. “We’re gradually starting to see a slow recovery to a new norm,” Owen MacFarlane, CEO of CAV Aerospace, told the AP from his exhibition stand at the show. “So maybe it’s not the same volumes as we saw in 2007 and 2008, but certainly an increase from where we have been,” he said, noting he cut 25 percent of his work
force over the past 18 months. “Everybody seems a lot more buoyant.” Analysts don’t expect anything close to the record-breaking $88.7 billion worth of deals announced in Farnborough in 2008, but the gathering has already exceeded the slow orders for commercial planes at Le Bourget last year, where deals came in at around $7 billion. The International Air Transport Association has forecast that global industry profits will reach $2.5 billion this year, an upturn from the huge $9.4 billion loss in 2009. Asia and North America are expected to lead the recovery, with Europe lagging behind. Strikes at some airlines, the debt crisis and the volcanic ash cloud that caused major disruptions this spring are all hurting Europe’s recovery.
NEW YORK (AP) – Halliburton Co. said energy companies have become so aggressive about exploring for natural gas in the U.S. that its landbased drilling business will make up for a suspension of deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. The Houston petroleum services company on Monday reported an 83-percent surge in second-quarter profits. The results beat Wall Street expectations, and shares rose more than 5 percent. Halliburton is the first of several companies connected to the Gulf oil spill to report second-quarter financial results. The company was handling
the cementing job on BP’s Macondo well before it blew up on April 20. The government’s moratorium on deepwater exploration in the Gulf “will usher in a new regulatory climate and will have a profound impact on how deepwater drilling is performed,” Halliburton’s CEO Dave Lesar said in a conference call with investors. Only about 6 percent of Halliburton’s $8.15 billion of revenue for the first half of this year came from operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, its landbased operation has benefitted from rush to find natural gas.
Delta posts $467 million profit in 2nd quarter THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Delta Air Lines Inc. reported its largest quarterly profit in a decade Monday, but investors dumped its shares as sales didn’t meet expectations and the carrier gave a cautious outlook amid economic uncertainty. The world’s largest airline said its secondquarter net income was $467 million, or 55 cents per share. That reversed a year-ago loss of $257 million, or 31 cents a share, when the airline industry was still reeling from the recession.
Delta’s revenue rose 17 percent to $8.17 billion from $7 billion a year earlier. That figure was below analysts’ revenue estimate of $8.25 billion. Chief Executive Richard Anderson described the revenue environment as “good, but not yet great.” Investors hoping for better sold the shares. Delta shares fell 86 cents, or 7.3 percent, to $10.80 in midday trading. Excluding onetime items, Delta’s earnings came to 65 cents a share, above analysts’ expectations of 63 cents per share. Delta said it expects to be profitable for the year.
