FRIDAY

BY JORDAN HOWSEENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The sound of thunder will be heard at Oak Hollow Lake this weekend, but it won’t have anything to do with the weather.

The Lucas Oil Thunder at Oak Hollow Drag Boat Races are back at Festival Park this year, and orga-nizers say it’ll be bigger and better. This year, 100 boats are registered for the event, and organiz-ers expect more than last year’s $1.2 million will tourism revenue.

The activities start to-day with test runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Teams will test and tune their boats on the water. The teams begin qualifying for all classes Saturday, running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

They round out the weekend with elimina-tions and the fi nals for all classes Sunday, running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Drag boat racing is very similar to land drag racing, with boats race on a quarter-mile straightaway.

Speeds in some classes

can hit 270 miles per hour. The event is part of a

new drag boat sanction-ing organization formed in 2009, The Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series. This series features 10 national events, all tele-vised on the Speed and Versus channels.

“This will probably be the most exciting time for the sport of drag boat rac-ing, and Lucas Oil Prod-ucts is equally excited about establishing this positive direction for the future of the sport,” said Mike Chastain, Team Lu-cas operations director.

Ticket prices have been lowered to be more affordable for the entire

family. The Friday test-ing is free. Saturday tick-ets are $15, and Sunday tickets are $20. Weekend passes are available for

$30. Children 12 and un-der are free with a paying adult.

Weekend temperatures expected to climb to near

BY DIANNA BELLENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Basking in the sunshine might not be an activ-ity residents pencil in on their schedules for the weekend, un-less of course they enjoy soaking in pools of their own sweat.

High Point-area residents will face another batch of tempera-tures that could reach the 100-degree mark this weekend. From Friday through Sunday, temper-atures are predicted to be about 98 to 99 degrees, with the possibil-ity of hitting the triple digits, ac-cording to the National Weather Service. Along with the heat, the usual North Carolina humidity will play into the mix.

Regardless of whether temper-

atures actually hit the 100 mark, the humidity will bridge the gap, sending heat index temperatures soaring to around 105 degrees.

“This weekend is going to be hot,” said Russell Henes, fore-caster for the National Weather Service in Raleigh. “Hot with very little chance of rain.”

While temperatures will re-mind residents of the heat that hit a couple of weeks ago, the air quality is supposed to be much more tolerable, remaining in the yellow zone, Henes said, which means those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution may ex-perience effects. But for the gen-eral population, air quality will be acceptable.

The previous 100-degree scare had air quality in the more dan-

gerous code orange, which puts pollutants at a higher number where the level is unhealthy for sensitive groups.

On Monday and Tuesday, a 30 percent chance of rain is in store for the area, forecasters say, and the possible showers will also bring slightly cooler tempera-tures, averaging in the low 90s.

“Temperatures are slightly above normal for this time of year,” Henes said. “Typically, temperatures hover around 90.”

A return to normalcy is not yet in sight, leaving a majority of residents keeping their fi ngers crossed in hopes of some cool re-lief.


WHEW!

TRINITY – The city of Trin-ity will not get funding this year through the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund for its downtown park pro-posal.

John Poole, grants pro-gram manager with the N.C. Division of Parks and Rec-reation, said the N.C. Parks and Recreation Authority decided last week that Trin-ity will not be a recipient of a $500,000 grant, which offi cials wanted to use for

the proposed Center City Park. Of the 85 applications from local governments, the authority funded 24 park projects in May and 14 this month.

“They ended up funding 38 of the 85 for about $9.2 million,” Poole said. “The requests totaled $24.4 mil-lion. ... All of them were worthy projects. It’s just not enough funds to spread them across.”

Last year, the Trinity City Council directed staff to prepare an application for the grant. The applica-tion included a parks and recreation master plan, a parks and recreation capital improvement plan, a Cen-ter City site park plan and project budget for the plan. The park was proposed to be located on the site of Trinity City Hall’s property, which is nestled on about 30 acres off N.C. 62.

Slaughterhouse truck overturns, cows on the lamGRAND RAPIDS,

Mich. (AP) – Police say 12 cows being driven to the slaughterhouse made a break for free-dom when the truck that was transporting them overturned in west Michigan.

Police say the bovine escapees hoofed it over highway guardrails,

forced traffic detours and caused at least one accident.

The 42-year-old truck driver suffered minor injuries in the accident in Kent County about 4 a.m. Wednesday.

All but fi ve of the fu-gitive cattle had been rounded up by Thurs-day morning.

The animals from a farm in Farwell, Mich., had been des-tined to end their days at a slaughterhouse in Milwaukee, Wis.

Michigan State Police Trooper Joe Young said when all the animals are cap-tured they will be eu-thanized.

Diploma rate highest in four yearsENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – The graduating class of 2010 helped raise the school district’s gradu-ation rate to the highest point in four years.

With 12 high schools graduating 90 percent of their students, the dis-trict scored a graduation rate of 80.7 percent, up

from 79.9 percent, dis-trict offi cials reported this week.

The rate is the highest since the N.C. Depart-ment of Public Instruc-tion created the measure in 2006.

Only two high school programs reported lower than an 80 percent gradu-ation rate: T. Wingate Andrews High had a 77 percent rate and The Academy at High Point Central posted a 60 per-cent rate.

Five schools had per-fect graduation totals. Last year, three district schools were among only seven schools statewide to achieve a

100 percent graduation rate. The Academy at Smith, Greensboro Col-lege Middle College, The Early College at Guil-ford, Penn-Griffi n School for the Arts and Weaver Academy, all magnet and choice schools, led the district with a 100 percent graduation rate. There were 15 students in the Penn-Griffi n’s fi rst graduating class.

In North Carolina, the graduation rate is calcu-lated as the number of students who graduated with a diploma at the end of the school year divided by the number of students in the ninth grade four years earlier with adjustments for transfers.

The academies and middle colleges allow students to focus on pos-sible career fi elds, hon-ors courses or arts.

Penn-Griffi n School for the Arts in High Point is a performing and vi-sual arts school serv-ing students in grades six through 12. In addi-tion to traditional core courses, the school of-fers classes in orchestra, band, chorus, classical guitar, piano, dance, the-atre and visual arts. Stu-dents explore all of the arts in middle school and in high school.

Board rejects site for Southeast area schoolBY DAVID NIVENS

ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Commissioners sided with neighborhood res-idents Thursday and turned down a 45-acre site the Board of Edu-cation wants to buy for a new Southeast area school.

The Board of Com-missioners voted 5-3 against the $907,000 site on Stewart Mill

Road in eastern Guil-ford County due east of Greensboro and closer to McLeansville than the Southeast High School neighborhood where many parents want a new elementary school.

“These folks deserve what they were told

they would get,” said Republican Commis-sioner Billy Yow. “This was a deal done with the devil in a closed session.”

Yow joined the three other Republicans on the board in voting against the project site.

The $25 million South-east Area school is one of five new schools be-ing built as part of the $457 million in school bonds approved by vot-ers in May 2008.

“A better site can be found closer to where the students are, as promised to people in the district, “ said Re-publican Commission-er Steve Arnold of High Point.

Only Democratic Commissioners Caro-lyn Coleman, Kirk Perkins and Chairman Skip Alston voted for the site.

Democratic Commis-sioners Bruce Davis and John Parks of High Point and Paul Gibson did not attend the ses-sion.

The school board voted 7-2 last month to buy the property, a pro-posed housing develop-ment tract that offers city water and sewer service.

“This is a good price and a good location,” said school board mem-ber Kris Cooke. “We feel it is the best place for the school.”

“This site is suit-

able for a school,” said Superintendent Mo Green.

“We want to get this right and we believe we have.”

Southeast Guilford Community Associa-tion members lobbied commissioners to re-ject the site and nearly filled the meeting room with supporters to in-fluence the vote.

The proposed site is less than 10 miles from crowded Alamance Ele-mentary School where an expansion to serve 700 students will cost $20 million.

School officials say the new school would take 300 to 350 students from the Alamance at-tendance zone, but op-ponents say they fear the number of Ala-mance transfers will drop as the Stewart Mill Road neighbor-hood grows.

“It is unthinkable to move the school out of the area it was de-signed to benefit,” said Dan Rogers, an associa-tion leader.

[email protected]|888-3626

REJECTED DEAL----Locations: As many as 65 locations were consid-ered for the new Southeast area school including sites on Nelson Road, Liberty Road and Southeast School Road.

Values: The 45-acre site on Stewart Mill Road was listed at $1.5 million. The Board of Education has a school property budget of $1.2 million and negoti-ated a price of $907,000.

we had and just really starting to try to get a base to have a gathering place for the friends,” Councilman Kelly Grooms said.

Grooms expressed dis-appointment about Trin-ity not being a recipient of the grant. It was Trin-ity’s fi rst application for the grant.

“We will reapply,” Grooms said. “Any time we miss out on a grant, it’s not a good thing for us. It kind of slows down our progress and some of our plans, but we will still get to where we want to go.”

Grooms said a park would help the city with economic development.

“It helps us sell busi-ness as well because it helps us improve quality of life,” he said. “While we are trying to recruit business, the more we

have in our tool belt, thebetter we look at attract-ing business.”

Trinity had $450,000in its 2010-11 fi scal yearbudget for the park. Theproject is proposed tocost about $1 million.

“We were trying to keepsome local folks here andmaybe give them somebusiness out of it to bidand try to make littlesteps,” Grooms said.

“If we don’t get (thegrant) the next go-around, we will do alittle as we go – nothingwithout a budget or outof range where we willhave to borrow money,”Grooms added.

Applications for nextyear’s funding throughthe N.C. Parks and Rec-reation Trust Fund haveto be submitted by Jan.31, 2011, Poole said.

Delay for NC lawyers debating anti-bias language

The North Carolina State Bar’s ethics committee voted on Thursday to make clear the proposal encour-

aging attorneys to keep per-sonal prejudice out of theirwork is aspirational andcan’t be grounds for profes-sional punishment.

The panel rejected anamendment that wouldhave removed the words“sexual orientation” and“gender identity” from alist of characteristics thatcould cause bias.

Iraqi minister says 4 al-Qaida inmates

escape jailBAGHDAD (AP) – Four

al-Qaida-linked detain-ees have escaped from a Baghdad area prison that was handed over by the U.S. to Iraqi authorities a week ago, Iraq’s justice minister said Thursday – a daring escape that embarrasses a govern-ment struggling to prove it is capable of operating without U.S. oversight.

Dara Noureddin said the four, awaiting trial on terrorism charges, escaped from the high security prison formerly known as Camp Cropper.

The escape is the second to come to light in Iraq in about a week, and spotlights con-

cerns about how preparedare Iraqi authorities to takefull control of the country asU.S. combat forces are to besharply scaled back by nextmonth.

The July 15 handoverby U.S. forces of the prisonthat once held Saddam Hus-sein and other senior mem-bers of his regime markeda milestone for Iraq’s pushto regain full sovereignty.It offered a new measureof pride in a nation wherebombings and assassina-tions are still common andthe formation of a new gov-ernment has been stymiedby politicians jostling forpower since a March 7 par-liamentary election.

IMF cancels $268 million Haiti debtPARIS (AP) – The IMF

says it has canceled Haiti’s $268 million debt and will lend the earthquake-dev-astated country another $60 million to help it with reconstruction plans.

The International Mon-etary Fund said Wednes-day the decision is part

of a plan for long-term reconstruction after the Jan. 12 magnitude-7 quake, which killed as many as 300,000 people.

The three-year loan car-ries a zero interest rate until 2011 which then rises to no more than 0.5 percent.

JERUSALEM (AP) – Is-raeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian man entering a Jewish settlement in the West Bank on Thursday, drawing a Palestinian ac-cusation that soldiers are too quick to open fi re.

Also Thursday, the Pal-estinian leader said direct negotiations with Israel are “inevitable,” but he listed a series of conditions.

The military said troops were lying in ambush early Thursday outside the Bar-kan settlement in the cen-tral West Bank when they spotted three men breaking into the settlement. It said one of the men was suspect-ed of being armed, but Pal-estinians said the man was not carrying a weapon.

The decision will likely be welcomed in the United States.

Should city elections be held on even-numbered years?

Absolutely not and here’s why! Issues vital to High Point’s progress are overshadowed by national and state issues due to election for U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, N.C. Senate and N.C. House.

Campaign funds are more dif-fi cult to obtain for city elections when citizens are called upon to contribute to national and state offi ce seekers.

Local elections should not have to compete with national and state elections.

Downtown revitalization

is vital to city’s future

Hats off to my 2007 Leadership High Point fellow graduate Elijah Lovejoy for his work with Party on the Plank. There is just some-thing so hopeful about a citizen with a vision.

That same hope can also be

found oozing from a group of citizens. One group that comes to mind is the High Point Area Arts Council, along with many, many others.

You know High Point, your local arts council was one of the fi rst organizations to envision and successfully utilize the Men-denhall Station transportation terminal as a social gathering venue. Arts Splash concerts have been held there for a number of years now. Concerts were also intentionally planned at venues all over the city, to embrace each

and every neighborhood, as much as logistically possible.

Downtown revitalization, I believe, is key to High Point tap-ping into a new source of pride, economic gain and yes, hope. Without hope, people will perish. It has been a blessing to watch Party on the Plank gain support from so many groups within this great city. As for the Arts Coun-cil, I encourage it to keep being the creative stimulus this great city needs. After all, hope fl oats.

YOUR VIEW---

C redit card fraud is a serious problem. But race card fraud is an even bigger problem.

Playing the race card takes many forms. Judge Charles Pickering, a federal judge in Mississippi who defended the civil rights of blacks for years and defi ed the Ku Klux Klan back when that was dangerous, was depicted as a racist when he was nominated for a federal appellate judgeship.

No one even mistakenly thought he was a racist. The point was simply to discredit him for political reasons – and it worked.

This year’s target is the Tea Party. When leading Democrats, led by a smirking Nancy Pelosi, made their triumphant walk on Capitol Hill, celebrating their passage of a bill in defi -ance of public opinion, Tea Party members on the scene protested.

All this was captured on camera and the scene was played on television. What was not captured on any of the cameras and other recording devices on the scene was anybody using racist language, as has been charged by those playing the race card.

When you realize how many media people were there, and how many ordinary citizens carry around recording devices of one sort or another, it is remarkable – indeed, unbeliev-able – that racist remarks were made and yet were not captured by anybody.

The latest attack on the Tea Party move-ment, by Ben Jealous of the NAACP, has once again played the race card. Like the prover-bial lawyer who knows his case is weak, he shouts louder. This is not the fi rst time that an organization with an honorable and historic mission has eventually degenerated into a taw-dry racket. But that an organization like the NAACP, after years of fi ghting against genuine racism, should now be playing the game of race card fraud is especially painful to see.

Some critics of the Tea Party have seized upon banners carried at one of its rallies that compared Obama with Hitler and Stalin. Ex-treme? Yes. But there was nothing racist about it, since extreme comparisons have been made about politicians of every race, color, creed, nationality, ideology and sexual preference.

Some Obama supporters have long regarded any criticism of him as racism. But that they resort to such a banner to bolster their case shows how desperate they are for any evidence.

Among people who voted for Barack Obama in 2008, those who are likely to be most disap-pointed are those who thought that they were voting for a new post-racial era. There was absolutely nothing in Obama’s past to lead to any such expectation, and much to suggest the exact opposite. But the man’s rhetoric and de-meanor during the election campaign enabled this and many other illusions to fl ourish.

Still, it was an honest mistake of the kind that decent people have often made when dealing with people whose agendas are not constrained by decency, but only by what they think they can get away with.

On race, as on other issues, different people have radically different views of Barack Obama, depending on whether they judge him

by what he says or by what he does.

As Obama’s own books point out, he has for years cultivated a talent for saying things that people will fi nd congenial.

You want bipartisanship and an end to bickering in Washing-ton? He will say that he wants bipartisanship and an end to bickering in Washington. Then he will shut Republicans out of the decision-making process and respond to their suggestions by

reminding them that he won the election. You want a government that is open instead

of secretive? He will say that. He will promise to post proposed legislation on the Internet for everyone to read it and know what is in it before there is a vote. In practice, however, he has rushed massive bills through Congress too fast for anybody – even the members of Con-gress – to know what was in those bills.

Racial issues are more of the same. You want a government where all citizens are treated alike, regardless of race or ethnicity? Obama will say that. Then he will advocate appointing judges with “empathy” for particular segments of the population, such as racial minorities. “Empathy” is just a pretty word for the ugly reality of bias. Obama’s fi rst nomination of a Supreme Court justice was a classic example of someone with “empathy” for some racial groups, but not others. As a Circuit Court judge, Sonia Sotomayor voted to dismiss a case involving white fi refi ghters who had been denied the promotions for which they qualifi ed, because not enough blacks or Hispanics passed the same test that they did.

A fellow Hispanic judge protested the way the white fi refi ghters’ case was dismissed, rather than adjudicated. Moreover, the Supreme Court not only took the case, it ruled in favor of the fi refi ghters.

Obama’s injecting himself into a local police matter in Massachusetts, despite admitting that he didn’t know the facts, to say that a white policeman was in the wrong in arresting a black professor who was a friend of Obama, was more of the same. So is Obama’s Justice Department overlooking blatant voter intimi-dation by thugs who happen to be black.

There is not now, nor has there ever been, anything post-racial about Barack Obama, except for the people who voted for him in the mistaken belief that he shared their desire to be post-racial. When he leaves offi ce, especially if it is after one term, he will leave this country more racially polarized than before.

Hopefully, he may also leave the voters wiser, though sadder, after they learn from painful experience that you can’t judge politicians by their rhetoric, or ignore their past because of your hopes for the future. Voters may even wise up to race card fraud.

W ith all the talk this week about Shirley Sherrod, the former USDA offi cial who was unjustly

fi red, and President Obama’s apology to her Thursday, a story that hits at the heart of our protection from abuses of political power and our right to keep watch on our government may have got-ten lost in the news.

The Associated Press reported this week that for at least a year under the Obama administration, requests for federal records fi led under the Freedom of Information Act have been routed through political appointees in the De-partment of Homeland Security in order to determine whether requests are for politically sensitive information and in order to obtain information about the re-questing person or organization.

According to the AP investigation, career employees in the DHS were in-structed to provide the political appoin-tees with information such as where the requesters lived, whether they were pri-vate citizens or reporters and informa-tion about any organization for which the requesters worked. Requests from members of Congress were to be labeled with the requester’s political party.

This political review resulted in delays in releasing information, although the DHS says reviews did not stop any infor-mation from being released, the AP said. The release of information, however, did have to be approved by the political ap-pointees. We wouldn’t call this the “open government” Obama has promised.

Realize that this was not an assess-ment for national security. Requests related to Obama policy, “controver-sial or sensitive” subjects or meetings involving business and elected leaders were pegged for review by the political appointees. It reminds us a little of Rich-ard Nixon’s enemies lists, except in this case everyone is the potential victim of an oversensitive, highly political admin-istration.

The AP says the DHS has rescinded the rule on prior political approval of information before release. But the po-litical appointees still are checking up on those who request information. And that’s scary.

ETHICS MISDEEDS: House panel charges New York lawmaker. 6B

WASHINGTON (AP) – Flooded with apolo-gies from everywhere, Shirley Sherrod got the biggest “I’m sorry” of all Thursday – from a con-trite President Barack Obama, who personally appealed to the ousted worker to come back.

Sherrod, who was forced to resign on Mon-day because of racial comments she made at an NAACP gathering, was asked by Obama to rejoin the federal government and transform “this mis-fortune” into a chance to use her life experiences to help people, said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs.

The president says Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack “jumped the gun” when he decided to dismiss her from her job at the department amid accusations of racism.

Obama tells ABC News in an interview that Vil-sack acted in part be-cause the current media climate requires every-one to scramble when something goes up on YouTube or a blog.

Vilsack acted after por-tions of a speech Sherrod had given were posted on a conservative website.

President: Vilsack

BP’s oil well to stay shut despite tropical stormON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) – En-

gineers have grown so confi dent in the leaky cap trapping oil inside BP’s crip-pled well that they will leave it closed and unwatched if a tropical storm that formed Thursday forces them to fl ee, the government’s spill chief said.

Barring another setback – and the three-month operation has been fi lled with them – crude should never again gush from the infamous well.

Tropical Storm Bonnie, which blos-somed over the Bahamas and was to enter the Gulf of Mexico by the week-end, could delay by another 12 days the push to plug the broken well for good using mud and cement, retired Coast Guard Adm.

Thad Allen and BP offi cials conceded. Even if it’s not a direct hit, the rough

weather will push back efforts to kill the well by at least a week.

“While this is not a hurricane, it’s a storm that will have probably some sig-nifi cant impacts, we’re taking appropri-ate cautions,” Allen said in Mobile, Ala.

But a week of steady measurements through cameras and other devices convinced Allen they don’t need to open vents to relieve pressure on the cap, which engineers had worried might contribute to leaks underground and an even bigger blowout.

The cap was attached a week ago, and only minor leaks have been detected.

Meanwhile, the government is allow-ing commercial and recreational fi sh-ing again in roughly one third of the waters it had closed because of the BP oil spill.

Checks are coming: Obama signs unemployment bill

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal checks could begin fl owing again as early as next week to millions of jobless peo-ple who lost up to seven weeks of unemployment benefi ts in a congressio-nal standoff.

President Barack Obama on Thursday signed into law a restora-tion of benefi ts for people who have been out of work for six months or more. Congress approved the measure earlier in the day. The move ended an interruption that cut

off payments averag-ing about $300 a week to2 1⁄2 million people who have been unable to fi nd work in the aftermath of the nation’s long and deep recession.

At stake are up to 73 weeks of federally fi -nanced benefi ts for peo-ple who have exhausted their 26 weeks of state jobless benefi ts. About half of the approximate-ly 5 million people in the program have had their benefi ts cut off since its authorization expired June 2.

Market organizers prepare for fall trade showBY PAUL B. JOHNSON

ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Preparations for the fall High Point Market tak-ing place in three months come down to variables that trade show organizers can’t and can control.

The factors that market orga-nizers can’t control include the direction of the still fl uid U.S. economy. After showing signs of improving noticeably during the fi rst quarter of this year, economic indicators have either moderated or slumped during the late spring and this summer. How the economy performs dur-ing the next three months lead-ing into the fall trade show re-mains uncertain.

The factors that market or-

ganizers can control include promoting the Oct. 16-21 event to people in the industry and making the market as open and friendly for furnishings retail

buyers and exhibitors.The board of directors of the

High Point Market Authority discussed the status of prepa-rations for the fall trade show

during its meeting Thursday at the High Point Chamber of Com-merce.

Market Authority President Brian Casey said that market or-ganizers are trying to make trade show registration easier and more effi cient. Also, the author-ity is working with a travel agent to secure discounts through air-lines for fl ights during the mar-ket period, he said.

Through the authority’s web-site, www.highpointmarket.org, market organizers are providing more information and links for visitors, Casey said.

“We are trying to stay ahead and organized in the things we do,” he told the board.

Another step that market or-ganizers have taken to bolster the trade show is building up

Pre-Market, which takes place in September about a month before market, said board Chairman Kevin O’Connor. Pre-Market draws some of the larger exhibi-tors and their key clients to High Point for consultations leading into the introduction of product at the trade show.

Pre-Market had been an infor-mal gathering for decades, but in the past several years market organizers have taken steps to formalize the event and secure more commitments from compa-nies. Market organizers continue to receive positive feedback and commitments to Pre-Market, said O’Connor, president and chief executive offi cer of the furniture company Samson Marketing.


Fill the Bus drive begins

BY DARRICK IGNASIAKENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Two nonprofi t organizations in the Triad are trying to ensure every child has the school sup-plies they need for the fi rst day of school.

As part of Fill the Bus school supply drives, Communities In Schools of Randolph County and Fairgrove Family Re-source Center in Thomas-ville are collecting school supplies in various areas in their respective com-munities. CIS of Randolph County’s drive run until Aug. 15, and Fairgrove Family Resource Center’s campaign will run through the month of August.

The economy, according to organizers of Fill the Bus school supply drive, is expected to cause more students to need school supplies this year.

“Parents who are not working full-time or work-ing at all, you are not going to have that extra money

to help those kids,” said Gwen Taylor, CIS of Ran-dolph County assistant director.

“There is a tremendous need based on the econ-omy,” said Terri Nelson, executive director of the Fairgrove Family Re-source Center.

Both organizations hope to help hundreds of young-sters with school supplies.

“We were able to assist about 250 kids,” Taylor said of last year’s Fill the Bus campaign. “Some-times it’s hard to say be-cause we will help a certain number of kids individu-ally and then the supply we have left over, we will give to the schools and let them use it as needed.”Among some of the items being requested by the nonprofi ts as donations are book bags (no wheels), three-ring binders, No. 2

pencils, erasers and cray-ons. Nelson and Taylor said book bags are always needed for Fill the Bus school supply drives.

“We need 200 (book bags),” Nelson said. “We need all sizes. You would need a size for an elemen-tary kid, but you also need something that a high school student would need.”

Rosa Allred is the Fill the Bus coordinator for CIS of Randolph County at Archdale United Method-ist Church.

“We are just getting started,” Allred said. “If it goes like it has in the past, it will be great. All of our church members love helping out the school. We participate with Commu-nities In Schools and for the supply drive because particularly at this time there are so many people in need and we want to support our local Ran-dolph County schools.”


City offi cials stand guard

on Main Street zoning

BY PAT KIMBROUGHENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – City Council members have given their blessing to a north High Point business but indicated this type of opera-tion is not what they would like to see on the city’s main drag in the future.

The council approved a request to rezone about 1.10 acres at the southeast corner of N. Main Street and E. Bellevue Drive from conditional use/limited business district to highway business.

The property owner, High Point Bank, needed the change because it leased the site to a business without proper approval, ac-cording to the city.

The business sells and displays portable storage buildings, and there are about 10 or 15 such units on the property, planners said.

Attorney Beth Koonce, representing High Point Bank, told the council during a recent hearing that her client initially planned to open a branch on the site. When that fell through, the bank tried unsuccessfully to sell the land before leasing it.

The surrounding area is zoned highway business, and city leaders questioned wheth-

er this was the right classification for Main Street.

“We don’t want it to look like High Point Road,” said Mayor Becky Smothers, refer-ring to a major thoroughfare in Greensboro that has deteriorated in recent years. “High-way business to me is not what Main Street is. Highway business is Business 85.”

The rezoning will require the business to move its storage units farther off the road. Council members discussed whether other measures to regulate the look of Main Street would be feasible.

“There are some horrendous-looking busi-nesses from north to south on Main Street, so we need to be aware of what we can do ad-dress this,” said Councilman Mike Pugh.

The council also approved a contract with Sunbelt Roofing Inc. for $130,000 to replace the roof at the High Point Police Department and a contract with Affordable Roofing Inc. for $222,548 to replace the roof of the Green Street Municipal Operations Center.

The money is from a federal stimulus en-ergy efficiency and conservation grant the city received.

Contractors will install a type of highly re-flective, energy efficient roofing system at both facilities.

City officials said the police department’s roof had been patched numerous times and still leaks and needs to be replaced.

RALEIGH (AP) – A former North Caroli-na trooper fired last year for having what authorities called a drunken sexual en-counter with the wife of a subordinate is back working for the state.

Multiple media outlets reported Thursday that for-mer Sgt. Timothy White was hired sev-eral months ago as a security investigator for the North Caro-lina Education Lot-tery. He’s one of six workers who look into complaints such as whether a retailer operated a game un-fairly.

White appealed his termination for per-sonal conduct unbe-coming of an officer. Personnel and other state records now list him as having resigned, and his ap-peal was withdrawn.

A state report said White had a sexual encounter with an-other trooper’s wife at a party in Decem-ber 2008, but White disputed the ac-count.

THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, JULY 23, 2010 www.hpe.com 3B


THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville Police De-partment announced this week that it has charged two men with numerous break-ins of motor vehicles in Thom-asville.

The men entered vehi-cles which had been left unlocked and stole vari-ous items including GPS units, MP3 players, digi-tal cameras, sunglasses, loose change, clothing, food items, and other small electronics. Of the more than $5,000 worth of property reported sto-len in approximately 40

break-ins, about $2000 worth has been recov-ered, according to po-lice.

The break-ins oc-curred in the Fair Grove and East Davidson com-munities in the south-ern end of Thomasville during the last month.

Detectives with the Thomasville Police De-partment received in-

formation from a deputy with the Davidson Coun-ty Sheriff’s Offi ce about a vehicle stolen from Davidson County. Infor-mation from that case led Thomasville detec-tives to a residence on Harvest Drive in Thom-asville where some of the stolen property was recovered.

Tyler Adam Robi-nette, 18, of 1109 Harvest Drive, Thomasville, and Justice Jade Nagel, 16, of 185 Gobel Road, Thomasville, have each been charged with eight counts of felony break-ing and entering of a motor vehicle, eight

counts of larceny, andone count of felony con-spiracy.

Siblings suffer consequences of mom’s lies

D ear Abby: My mother has a long history of lying in

what appears to be her attempt to manipulate others. She is now 75, and my siblings and I know not to accept anything she says as the truth, and to always check with each other in order to fi nd out the whole story.

The other day she lied to me about a doctor’s appointment. Shortly after I talked to her, my sister called me, furious about what Mom had really done. I called Mom back that evening to give her a chance to tell the truth. Instead, she made up another lie to cover up what she had done. That’s when I told her I had already spoken to my sister.

The whole situation makes me very sad, which I told her. I let her know I am “on to her” and have decided to give both of us some time to think about the situa-tion. I know you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and I have given up trying.

I love Mom, but her continued manipulation of others has driven me away from her. Is there any way for her to see how much her inappro-priate behavior affects those of us who care about her? – Sad Son in Austin, Texas

Dear Sad Son: No. And by cross-checking whatever your mother

tells you with your siblings, you are handling a diffi cult situation as well as you can.

Dear

Abby: Our 19-year-old son

is home from college for the summer and he “knows everything.” His father and I have told him to wash all fruits and vegetables we buy fresh from the market before eating them. He feels this is not impor-tant and continues to eat apples, strawberries and lettuce directly from the container or plastic bag without rinsing them.

Please let me know if our fears are real. I have always been told wash-ing is necessary. I would love to show him some-thing on this subject because he thinks I’m silly and overprotective. – Mother Knows Best in Texas

Dear M.K.B.: If see-ing it in print will get your son’s attention, I’m happy to oblige. Have him try this experiment: The next time he decides to eat a nice, shiny apple, have him soak it for 5 to 10 minutes in water to which several table-spoons of vinegar have been added. This will remove the waxy coating that is usually sprayed

on them, and with it any dirt or “little critters” that may have become attached.

Also, periodically on the nightly news we hear announcements of FDA recalls because of salmo-nella or E. coli that has been discovered on vari-ous vegetables. Although some are packaged as ready-to-eat, they, too, should be rinsed be-fore using. Consider it “health insurance.”

Dear Abby: I am the

parent of a child with special needs. To an out-sider he looks different; adults and children stare at him when we’re out.

My son is not aware of their impolite behavior, but I am – and it really irks me. What should I say to these insensitive people? – Boiling Mad in New Jersey

Dear Boiling Mad: I don’t think you should say anything. It is not unusual for individuals of every age to do a dou-ble take when they see someone – or something – that is “different.” Of course staring is impo-lite, but unless someone makes a remark or asks a question about your son, you should ignore the person. DEAR ABBY is written by Abi-gail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.Dear-Abby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

NC lottery winnings paying off for debt

collectorsRALEIGH (AP) – Peo-

ple and governments who have tried to col-lect money they’re owed are also benefi t-ting from state lottery winnings.

North Carolina lot-tery offi cials collected $1 million in the past year from prize win-ners who were also debtors, The News & Observer of Raleigh re-ported Thursday. The milestone comes after a record $1.4 billion in lottery sales, a 10 per-cent increase from the previous year.

The lottery compares the names of big win-ners against a list of people who owe child support, back taxes, hospital bills and stu-dent loans. The debts can be as small as $50 or run into thousands of dollars.

Tapping lottery win-

nings is often prefer-able to government offi cials than garnish-ing paychecks because the money isn’t com-ing out of wages or a tax refund, said John E. Whitehurst, a proj-ect manager for the Association of County Commissioners. The group helped set up a database of debtors and does the collections for local governments.

Taxpayer information is confi dential, and offi -cials declined to name those who have had winnings withheld.

Some prize winners say they’re happy to fi nally be able to pay their debts, said lot-tery Executive Director Tom Shaheen.

“Many of them are re-lieved,” he said. “Hope-fully they still get to walk out with some cash.”

Central NC ABC board manager placed on paid leave

GREENSBORO (AP) – The general manager of a central North Carolina ABC board is on paid ad-ministrative leave pend-ing the outcome of a probe by state investigators.

The Greensboro ABC Board placed General Manager Katie Alley on leave until Aug. 31. Law-

yer Mike Fox, who works for the board, says Alley asked for the leave. A re-port released by the state ABC Commission last week suggested Alley may have inappropriately tak-en concert tickets, meals, hotel rooms and other items from liquor indus-try representatives.

Special garden

Members of Triad Rotary Club sponsored a garden for the inclusive autistic class at Southwest Middle School. Sally Thompson, an assistant teacher of the class, spoke to members of the club about try-ing to educate students about vegetables. Some thought they came from cans. The garden was planted last spring, and students helped with planting and harvesting. Jim Gayle, owner of Jim Gayle’s Lawn and Landscape Maintenance, donated labor to clear the space for the garden. Pictured are (from left): Steve Farabee, Triad Rotary president; stu-dents Sara and Ashley Bruno; and Thompson. SPECIAL | HPE

Q uestion: How do I identify and control moles and

voles?Answer: Both moles

and voles are active in many landscapes. Moles are generally carnivores and feed on grubs, earth-worms, insects and other animals in the soil. They seldom feed on plants or plant parts. Voles are generally herbivores and feed mostly on plant parts such at roots, stems, tubers, rhizomes and bulbs.

Moles will generally leave raised, shallow tun-nels in your yard along with volcano-shaped piles of dirt. Voles (or meadow mice) do not leave either one. Instead, you see small (about 1.5 inch in diameter) open holes, with pathways of-ten extending from them above ground.

Control and manage-ment methods for these two species are quite dif-ferent, so it is important that you be able to distin-guish between the two.

Question: How can I protect my plants from voles?

Answer: In North Carolina, there are two kinds of voles that may cause damage to gar-dens, fruit and other plantings: meadow voles, (Microtus pennsylva-nicus) and pine voles (Microtus pinetorum).

Voles are active day and night the entire year. They construct a complex tunnel system with surface runways and numerous burrow entrances. A single tun-nel system may contain several adults and young.

Voles have short life

spans, ranging from two to 16 months. Breed-ing occurs primarily in spring and summer, producing from one to fi ve litters of three to six young per year. Females mature in 35 to 40 days.

The following sugges-tions will help in vole control:

• Eliminate weeds, ground cover and crop litter in and around cultivated areas. This re-duces the availability of food and cover for voles.

• In vegetable gardens, frequent tillage removes cover, destroys existing runways or tunnels and destroys a percentage of the existing population.

• Wire or metal barri-ers (tree guards) at least 12 inches high, with a mesh size of ¼ inch or less around blueberries or trees will exclude meadow voles. Bury the bottom edge 6-10 inches to prevent pine voles from digging beneath the barrier.

• Susceptible plants such as hosta can be planted with a gravel mix in the planting hole.

• Mouse traps or snap-back traps can be very effective in reducing the vole population. Place the trap perpendicular to the runway with the trig-ger end in the runway. Apple slices or a peanut butter-oatmeal mixture make good baits.

MASTER GARDENERS will answer questions on horticul-tural topics. Karen C. Neill, an urban horticulture extension agent, can be contacted at the N.C. Cooperative Exten-sion, 3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro, N.C. 27405-7605, telephone 375-5876, e-mail [email protected], on the Web at www.guilfordgardenan-swers.org.

Emphysema/asthma can be inherited

D ear Dr. Dono-hue: My wife of 55 years died last

year from the complica-tions of an illness known as alpha-1 antitrypsin defi ciency. In her late 40s, she would become unduly winded doing the polka. After many internist and a few pul-monary specialist visits, all of whom prescribed asthma medicines for her, she persisted with a chronic cough. She fi -nally found a pulmonary specialist who tested her for alpha-1 antitrypsin. In one of your articles, you failed to mention testing for alpha-1 anti-trypsin defi ciency for an asthmatic who did not respond to treatment. I hope you would recom-mend the blood test for people with asthmalike symptoms who do not respond to usual medi-cines. – B.S.

An under-recognized pulmonary condition that often is mistaken for ordinary asthma or em-physema is the inherited illness alpha-1 antitryp-sin defi ciency. Lungs have their own cleanup crew. The crew scrubs the millions of air sacs (alveoli) in each lung on a daily basis. This crew is a bit over the top. Something has to tell it to quit, or it damages the air sacs by overzealous scrubbing. That some-thing is alpha-1 anti-trypsin. People without enough of it develop symptoms of emphysema or asthma because of air

sac dam-age.

Esti-mates have it that 3 percent of people diagnosed with COPD – chronic obstruc-tive pulmonary

disease (emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asth-ma) – have the alpha-1 antitrypsin defi ciency. That amounts to well over 100,000 people in the United States, and most of them are not correctly diagnosed.

People with the defi -ciency have to guard their lungs carefully. They must have the yearly fl u vaccine, and they also should have the pneumonia vac-cine. They have to take precautions against catching colds, and should promptly report any changes in their symptoms or breathing to their doctors.

Augmentation therapy – supplying the missing enzyme intravenously – is promoted by many lung specialists, but not all.

The diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin is confi rmed by blood tests, tests often not thought of. They should be.

Dear Dr. Donohue: For the past two months, I have had an extremely dry mouth and a sensi-tive tongue. I have to

sip water all day long. My doctor can’t fi nd out what’s causing it. An ear, nose and throat doc-tor prescribed pilocar-pine, which didn’t help. Do you have any ideas? – Anon.

I can suggest one illness – Sjogren’s (SHOW-grins) syn-drome. It’s an attack on the salivary glands by the immune system. The result is a dry mouth. Often, dry eyes are part of the picture. Even if it’s not Sjo-gren’s, doing the things that Sjogren’s patients do will help you.

Constant sipping on water is wise. Carry a squeeze bottle with you, and don’t hesitate to use it. Chewing sugarless gum promotes saliva production. Artifi cial salivas, found in all drugstores, can be help-ful. Oasis mouth spray orNumoisyn liquid loz-enges provide relief. The Biotene company makes many products that you’ll fi nd on drugstore shelves. One or more of them will help keep your mouth moist. Although pilocarpine didn’t work for you, another oral medicine, Evoxac, might.You won’t go wrong by contacting the Sjogren’s Syndrome Foundation at: 800-475-6473 or on the Internet at www.sjog-rens.org. The foundation will explain the syn-drome to you in detail and give you many hints on how to control dry mouth.

Rangel charged with ethics misdeedsWASHINGTON (AP)

– A House investigative committee on Thursday charged New York Rep. Charles Rangel with mul-tiple ethics violations, dealing a serious blow to the former Ways and Means chairman and complicating Democrats’ election-year outlook.

The panel did not im-mediately specify the charges against the Dem-ocrat, who has served in

the House for some 40 years and is fourth in se-niority. The charges by a four-member panel of the House ethics committee sends the case to a House trial, where a separate eight-member panel of Re-publicans and Democrats will decide whether the violations can be proved by clear and convincing evidence.

The timing of the an-nouncement ensures that

a public airing of Rangel’s ethical woes will stretch into the fall campaign, and Republicans are cer-tain to make it an issue as they try to capture major-ity control of the House. Speaker Nancy Pelosi had once promised to “drain the swamp” of ethical mis-deeds by lawmakers in arguing that Democrats should be in charge.

Holly Ferree reports that members of Rotary Club of the Triad and chil-dren from the Inclusive Autistic Class at Southwest Middle School came to-gether Monday to celebrate a garden sponsored by the Rotarians. Sally Thomp-son, one of the class’ as-sistant teachers, had noted during a presentation to Triad Rotarians that she was trying to educate stu-dents about vegetables. The garden, at a cost of $3,000, was planted this spring and harvested just before school ended, with help from class members.

Susan Haynes retired from High Point Bank to become the receptionist at the new Haynes-Inman Center, named in part for her late daughter Meredith. She is congratulated by Dorris Koontz.

Mother, businesswoman retires to join special center in Jamestown named partly in her daughter’s honor

BY JIMMY TOMLINENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

It’s not that Susan Haynes has grown weary of banking, even after 45 years in the business. It’s simply that she’s pursuing an investment with greater personal dividends.

Haynes, who has spent the past 40 years with High Point Bank, retired this month to become the receptionist at the new Meredith Leigh Haynes Bennie Lee Inman Education Center in Jamestown, Guilford County’s facility for children with developmental dis-abilities that opens this fall.

The new school holds a special place in Haynes’ heart because it’s named in part for her late daughter, Meredith, who was developmentally disabled.

“I’ve had a terrifi c relationship with the bank and with my cus-tomers, but this is just something I want to do,” says Haynes, 63. “I want to be a part of that school.”

Having Meredith’s name on the new school seems only fi tting, because it was built for students such as her, for whom getting to Gateway Education Center – the special-education center in east Greensboro – was not convenient.

“If Meredith had gone on the bus, it could’ve been a 3 1⁄2- to 4-hour ride,” Haynes says. “So my husband (Norris) and I drove her to Gateway in the mornings, then

came back to High Point for our jobs.”

Meredith developed normally until she was about 18 months old, when she was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis, a disease that caused the growth of small

tumors on her brain, resulting in physical and developmental disabilities.

“She walked and talked until 18 months, and then she started regressing, and she never said another word the rest of her life,” Haynes says. “She was able to walk, but she was not real steady on her feet. She was not potty-trained, and she needed help feeding herself. She was very low-functioning.”

Meredith died of pneumonia in March 1993, at the age of 20.

The $18 million Haynes-Inman Center for Education was built on 14 acres formerly owned by Meredith’s grandfather, Thur-

man Haynes, along Harvey Road. It was named for Meredith at her parents’ request, and with com-munity support.

“We had such an outpouring of people who wrote in favor of naming the school after Meredith – teachers she’d had, other people we knew,” Haynes says. “It was unbelievable how many people wrote in saying they thought it was a wonderful idea.”

Meredith shares the facility’s name with Bennie Lee Inman, longtime director of the Greens-boro Cerebral Palsy School who also played an integral role in the opening of Gateway Education Center.

“We’re very pleased it turned out that way,” Haynes says. “This is the fi rst time a student’s name has been used for a facility in North Carolina, so we thought that was an honor. And Mrs. Inman had done so much, we thought it was a great thing to have a student and an educator to share the name.”

And for Haynes, going to work at the school brings her full circle.

“I’m hoping to help other par-ents there, because I know what they’re going through,” she says. “And it’s something I want to do for myself, to complete my life and give back to the schools what they did for Meredith.”


Meredith developed normally until she was about 18 months old, when she was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis.

Yesterday’s Puzzle SolvedFriday, July 23, 2010CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Dan-

iel Radcliffe, 21; Nomar Garciapara, 37; Marlon Wayans, 38; Woody Harrelson, 49

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Expect to face challeng-es and people who do not have your best interests at heart. Oversee everything yourself and protect what you have worked so hard to achieve. This may be a year of unexpected change but, in the end, if you are willing to deal with each matter as it arises, you will end up with exactly what you want and a whole lot more. Your numbers are 2, 9, 14, 26, 29, 35, 42

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you start to socialize before you fi nish your work, you will be faced with complaints. Insecurity about work and stress about your current position will be un-warranted. Don’t fret. Put an immediate end to any rumors. ★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stay on top of what needs to be done and refuse to let anyone turn you into a scapegoat. If you react emotion-ally, you will be accused of not being able to han-dle responsibility. Focus on love later in the day. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let love cause you to make a foolish mistake. You may be asked to physically help or make a donation to a cause you know little about. Research before you pledge your time or your cash. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Uncertainty will be your downfall. Size up whatever situation you face and make a decision or you will appear in-competent. Adaptability and acceptance will be the key to your success. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put your best foot for-ward and you’ll attract positive attention. Travel should be in your plans, even if it is just to visit a friend. Don’t let someone else’s change of plans disrupt yours. You will have greater insight into a fi nancial matter. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Love is in the stars and an intimate evening should be in the works. It will lead to an enjoyable and monumental weekend. Your attentive responses will win fa-vors and approval. Don’t overspend. ★★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Proceed with cau-tion. Not everyone will be on your side. Doubt will arise within a relationship. Keep your thoughts to yourself or you are likely to end up in an argu-ment that is impossible to win. ★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can deliver an ultimatum to someone once you have an al-ternative route to take. Getting involved in an organization that can cover your back in a time of need will bring you reassurance and the sup-port you need to follow through with your plans. ★★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stick close to home and defend your reputation if someone implies you have been doing things that might disrupt your personal or professional standing. You won’t be able to cover up a mistake, so be open about what happened. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look at all the angles and make whatever move will help you come out on top. Property investments can help you prosper but not if you decide to get in-volved in a joint venture. There are lots of perks heading your way. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The right part-nership will contribute to your goals and plans. The help offered through an organization you join will be to your benefi t. Trying to change your lifestyle or make improvements will pay off and boost your confi dence. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have to be decisive about what you want and what you are willing to offer others. Love is in the stars but, if you are wishy-washy, you will send the wrong signal. Showing a little backbone will make the difference. ★★★★

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid confl icts; 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.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

“Do you believe that bit about ’Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus’?” I asked Wendy, my club’s feminist.

“I don’t know about women,” she said, “but men must be from Mars. Look how the place has deteriorated.”

Cy the Cynic was Wen-dy’s partner when he played 3NT. At the second trick he led a diamond to dummy’s jack, winning. Cy then returned a club to his hand and led a dia-mond to the queen.

EIGHT TRICKSThis time East won and

led a heart, and Cy won, led a club to dummy and tried the ace of diamonds. When West discarded, Cy took only two diamonds -- and eight tricks in all.

“I heard the Cynic was divorced,” Wendy told me. “That must be how he lost 90 percent of his intelligence.”

Cy’s play deteriorated at Trick Two. Since he needs only three diamond tricks to make 3NT, he should play low from dummy on the fi rst diamond to keep a link. If East returns a heart, Cy leads a diamond to the queen and king. He later reaches dummy with the ace of clubs to run the diamonds.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S J 5 3 H 6 2

D A Q J 4 3 C A 5 4. Your partner opens one heart, you respond two dia-monds and he bids three clubs. The opponents pass. What do you say?

ANSWER: Your part-ner’s “high reverse” promises substantial extra strength, hence you’ll end up at a game or a slam. At this point, you can’t support either of partner’s suits or com-fortably bid 3NT. Your most descriptive mark-time bid is three dia-monds, suggesting a long, strong suit.

U pon further review, the “First Four” appears to be the last thing the NCAA men’s basketball tournament needed.

With the NCAA Tournament expanding to 68 teams, it became a whole lot tougher to confi gure a bracket for March Madness.

I get the reasoning for expansion. More berths means more teams leave “Selection Sunday” with a feeling of satisfaction, and of course, more teams means more games and more money.

That’s the bottom line, and I understand.What I don’t get is the way the NCAA

will determine who plays in those fi rst four

games. Two of the games will match teams rated 65 through 68 in the fi eld, while the other two games will feature the last four teams granted at-large bids. The two win-ners from the games pitting at-large teams then slide into the slots they would have held in a regular 64-team bracket from the past.

To put it simply, the participants in the “First Four” will not be the last eight rated in the fi eld.

That’s not fair.If you’re slotted to be a 10 or 11 seed, that

means the committee rated at least 15 or

20 teams below you in the overall pecking order.

The fact that some of those teams earned automatic conference bids should not put them ahead of stronger teams that did not.

The best way to design the bracket would be to place teams rated 61 through 68 in the “First Four” matchups.

Then again, nothing in life can be perfect and even with this expansion, the NCAA Tournament comes closer than most sport-ing events.

HIT AND RUN---

BY STEVE HANFENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

GREENSBORO – Shooting 10-under-par for two rounds might be considered pretty hard to top in some circles, but not on the eGolf Professional Tour.

High Point’s Drew Weaver and two others shared the ear-ly lead Thursday in the Forest Oaks Classic before Drew Stoltz of Scottsdale, Ariz., posted an 8-under-64 at High Point Country Club’s Willow Creek course to move to 12-under. And even Stoltz had company at the top after Daniel Woltman of Beaver Dam, Wis., fi nished a second-round 68 to stand at 12-under for the tournament.

“You kind of get used to it out here,” Weaver said of seeing ul-tra-low scores posted. “It’s more about putting yourself in posi-tion and not worrying about if you’re in the lead or not. It’s a 72-hole race.”

Weaver will be running from the front of the pack today fol-lowing Thursday’s 4-under-par 68 at Forest Oaks Country Club. After carding a 6-under 66 at Willow Creek on Wednesday that included a number of near-misses on the green, Weaver drained three putts of 20 feet and another 10-footer for birdie in Round 2.

Weaver fi nished with bird-ies on the fourth, sixth, sev-enth, 13th and 18th holes, with his lone bogey over the fi rst 36 holes coming when a four-foot-er for par missed at No. 15.

“I gave myself a solid amount of chances and rolled in a few putts,” Weaver said. “I defi nite-ly made more putts than I made yesterday, so that was good. I feel like my game’s in a good place. It’s nice to not be fi ghting any one particular aspect of my game.”

Weaver returns to Forest Oaks this morning and for Saturday’s fi nal round. Tied for fourth place – Nathan Stamey of Bluffton, S.C., landed third at 11-under – Weaver tees off to-day from No. 1 at 9:30 a.m. with playing partners Edward Loar and Scott Parel.

While Weaver currently ranks 15th on the eGolf Tour’s money list – this fi eld is playing for a fi rst-place check of more than $30,000 of the $235,000 purse – Stoltz burst onto the scene this week after three missed cuts and a tie for 57th place in his only four eGolf events of the year. Woltman currently sits 70th on the money list.

Loar, the fi rst-round leader, followed Wednesday’s 62 at For-est Oaks with a disappointing even-par effort at Willow Creek that included a double-bogey 6 on the 12th hole. Parel, a 45-year-old from Augusta, Ga., is 17th on the tour money list and looking to move up after a pair of 5-under-par rounds.

“I’ve been 10-under and 11-un-der in a couple of other events after two rounds,” Weaver said. “It’s certainly a good start. I feel like I’m in good position for the weekend.”


Weaver 10-under

Wilfong chases dreamBY GREER SMITH

ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Chad Wilfong kept grinding away Thursday.

Approaching 30 and in his sev-enth season of playing in golf’s minor leagues since graduating from Wake Forest, he continues to chase the dream of playing on the PGA Tour. He fi red a 4-under-par 68 in the second round of the Forest Oaks Classic at High Point Country Club’s Willow Creek.

The effort left the Thomasville native and East Davidson gradu-ate – who now lives in Charlotte – at 6-under after 36 holes, good enough for a tie for 29th but six shots off the lead going into the third round of the eGolf Tour’s event today at Forest Oaks. He tees off at 8:10 a.m. from No. 1.

With his father caddying and his mother serving as the only gallery member for his group, Wilfong registered fi ve birdies and one bogey on a course where he won the 2001 North Carolina Amateur and plays fi ve to seven times a year.

His round started with six straight pars. He then birdied

Nos. 7 and 8, parred 9 and bird-ied 10. He knocked in a birdie on 12 from 18 feet, but dropped that shot when his approach on 14 landed past the hole, the birdie attempt ran past and he couldn’t convert the par putt.

“If there is one thing you don’t want to do on 14, it is put it above the hole,” he said. “That was my only mental mistake. It was the only time I quit thinking.”

He birdied 17, getting on in two, putting across the green and tap-ping in. On 18, his birdie attempt from seven feet came up short by inches. He also felt that he should have made birdie putts on Nos. 1 and 3, and that he dropped an-other shot to the leaders when he failed to birdie the par-5 fourth.

“I shot a good score, but I left too much out there,” Wilfong said. “At these mini-tour events, it takes 20-under to win, so you just can’t waste too many oppor-tunities.”

Still, Wilfong made the cut, something he has not done in six of his 12 starts this season.

“I’ve played well, shot good scores,” Wilfong said. “I keep shooting under par, but the cuts

are pretty low. The guys coming out of college are ready to play. They are more athletic. There’s more depth. When you have 205 guys and most of them are good, the scores are going to be good. Last month, I shot 14-under in back-to-back tournaments and didn’t crack the top 10.”

Wilfong has played profession-ally every year since leaving Wake. He started on the Hooters Tour in 2003 and stayed on it in 2004 (winning one event), went to the third stage of PGA Qualifying School to get on the Nationwide Tour in 2005, and stayed there in 2006. He’s been on the eGolf Tour since 2007.

He will go to Q-School again this winter.

“I’ve been close,” he said. “I got to the fi nal stage of Q School in 2004 and then dogged it. Ev-erybody out here thinks they can make it. You just have to play well at the right time and in the right event. I’ll give it a little bit more time. I won’t give it too much longer before I give it up and do something to make some money.”



Former East Davidson High School star Chad Wilfong competes during the second round of the eGolf Profes-sional Tour’s Forest Oaks Classic. Thursday’s 4-under at Willow Creek helped Wilfong make the cut.

Davis: Probe was ‘out of left fi eld’BY BRIANA GORMAN

ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – After fi rst-year East Caro-lina football coach Ruffi n McNeill fi n-ished discussing the hectic summer his team has faced so far, the fl oor was given to North Carolina’s Butch Davis at Thursday’s Eighth Bill Dooley Tri-angle/East Chapter Pigskin Preview.

The Tar Heels’ coach used the op-portunity to make his fi rst comments about an NCAA investigation that came to light last week.

“Think Ruffi n would like to trade whirlwinds?” Davis quipped, drawing laughter.

It was the fi rst public acknowledge-ment from a UNC representative that the NCAA is investigating players in the football program, but Davis said he couldn’t go into details.

“The NCAA has told us not to make any comments until this review is over with,” Davis said. “The only things that I can say is … that the NCAA did come on campus. They are going through a review, as everybody can attest to the fact it’s spreading signifi -cantly to different other institutions around the country, and that they are going to try to work as fast and as quickly as possible to try to come to some kind of resolution.”

The NCAA’s interest reportedly is focused on improper contact between players and agents, with players at South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Georgia also are being questioned.

Davis said the investigation came “out of left fi eld” but his players have been “unbelievable cooperative,” and they are just trying to get through the process as quickly as possible.

Davis said he doesn’t know when the investigation will conclude but has been told it is a priority.

“I don’t think anybody expected any of this stuff was going to potentially

happen,” Davis said. “But it is what itis.”

Davis wouldn’t answer a questionspecifi cally about Marvin Austin orGreg Little – the two players at the fo-cus of the investigation – but said he iscompletely confi dent in his staff for do-ing things ethically, and they have triedto educate the players about agents.

“It’s no different than being a par-ent,” Davis said. “You can teach yourchildren, you can talk to them and les-sons that aren’t learned, you continueto teach those lessons. We’ve got goodkids at North Carolina.”

Davis didn’t have much to say aboutthe investigation launched Wednesdayby the N.C. Secretary of State ElaineMarshall, who has said her offi ce willfocus on the actions of the agents.

Marshall told the Associated Pressthat she has assigned three investiga-tors who will talk to student-athletesabout their involvement, though heroffi ce cannot punish them.

“We are focusing on athlete agentsand anybody who gave these youngpeople things of value – such as tripsor parties or food, women, whatever itmight be,” Marshall said to the AP.

Braves have World Series feelTHE ASSOCIATED PRES

ATLANTA – Chipper Jones is getting that 1995 feeling again.

Jones, the Atlanta Braves’ last link to their World Series championship team, says this year’s squad boasts similar strengths and balance. The latest proof was the Braves’ series win over San Di-ego in a matchup of fi rst-place teams.

Tim Hudson dominated San Diego again, Alex Gonzalez capped his fi rst homestand in Atlanta with four hits and the Braves beat the Padres 8-0 on Thursday. The Braves, who haven’t lost a series since early May, have the best record in the National League.

“This team, the more I look at it, re-minds me of the ’95 team,” said Jones, who had three hits. “You don’t have guys leading the league in any category, but you have evenly distributed production up and down the lineup. More often than not, the teams with that kind of produc-tion are going to win a lot of games.”

Gonzalez had hits in his fi rst four at-bats to give him a streak of hits in six straight at-bats over two games, four shy of the Atlanta record.

“It felt good,” Gonzalez said. “I feel like part of the team. We’ve got to keep going.”

He struck out in the eighth to end the run, but still has hits in six of seven games since coming to the Braves in the July 14 swap of shortstops that sent Yunel Escobar to Toronto.

Even after Gonzalez drove in two runs with the four hits, his defense made the biggest impression on his new team.

“Watching Gonzalez play shortstop the last few days has really been spe-cial,” said manager Bobby Cox.

Jones said Gonzalez is “all about de-fense. He’s the Ozzie Vizquel, Ozzie Smith-type shortstop. I know that’s lofty praise, but that’s how much I think of him.”

Hudson (10-5) allowed only four hits in seven scoreless innings. He is 5-0 in nine career appearances against the Pa-dres, including two wins this season.

Jason Heyward had two hits and drove in two runs. He was 7 for 15 in the series. The Braves led 4-0 before adding four runs in the seventh off Ryan Webb.

PHILLIES 2, CARDINALS 0 (11)ST. LOUIS – Placido Polanco homered

leading off the 11th inning as the Phil-lies survived another poor offensive showing to end the Cardinals’ eight-game winning streak.

Cole Hamels allowed one hit in eight innings, a solid single by Matt Holliday leading off the fourth, in 91-degree heat and high humidity. Four relievers, in-cluding Chad Durbin (2-1) did not allow a hit over the fi nal three innings to fi n-ish the one-hitter.

MARLINS 3, ROCKIES 2MIAMI – Ronny Paulino hit the win-

ning single with the bases loaded and none out in the ninth inning to send the Rockies to their fi fth loss in seven games since the All-Star break.

Florida’s Josh Johnson struck out 11 in 6 1/3 innings and allowed only one run. He lowered his ERA to 1.61, best in the majors.

NATIONALS 7, REDS 1CINCINNATI – Adam Dunn hit a two-

run homer off Edinson Volquez, who had a rough time in his second start since elbow surgery.

Volquez (1-1) dominated Colorado last Saturday in his return from recon-structive elbow surgery. He had control problems this time, giving up six runs in only 2 1-3 innings.

TIGERS 5, BLUE JAYS 2DETROIT – Miguel Cabrera started

a three-run eighth inning with an RBI double and Justin Verlander settled down after a rocky start to go eight in-nings in Detroit’s victory over Toronto.

Verlander (12-5) struggled the fi rst two innings but ended up allowing two runs and eight hits. He walked two in the fi rst inning but didn’t issue another base on balls.

Contador sets stage for titleCOL DU TOURMALET,

France (AP) – Defending champion Alberto Con-tador of Spain virtually secured a third Tour de France title Thursday after staying with yel-low-jersey rival Andy Schleck all the way to the top of the legendary Col du Tourmalet in the piv-otal 17th stage.

Schleck won the presti-gious stage, but Contador crossed the line nearly shoulder to shoulder with the Luxembourg rider af-ter the pair had broken clear in the fi nal six miles.

Contador appeared completely at ease as Schleck set a punishing pace up the fi nal climb. The Spaniard even moved in front at one point, but didn’t appear concerned

about trying to cross the line fi rst.

Contador retained his eight-second lead in the overall standings and looks destined to be wear-ing yellow when the Tour rides into Paris for Sun-day’s largely ceremonial fi nal stage.

Schleck knew he need-ed to pick up time on Con-tador in the last stage in the Pyrenees, but could not break the Spaniard. They completed the 108.1 miles from Pau to the top of the Col du Tourmalet in 5 hours, 3 minutes, 29 seconds.

“I still have to reach Paris, and it won’t be easy,” Contador said. “But the most important thing for me today was that I didn’t lose time.”

Time gaps are still ex-pected to change in Satur-day’s time trial, but that is Contador’s specialty. Schleck had acknowl-edged before Thursday’s stage that he would need to pick up at least a min-ute on Contador if he was to have a chance of win-ning the Tour.

Lance Armstrong was with the Schleck-Contador group until Schleck made his move 6 miles from the summit of the Tourmalet. The Texan fi nished 17th, 4:12 off the pace.

Anthony Charteau of France fi nished in 27th place, having done enough to guarantee he would be the overall winner of the King of the Mountains’ polka-dot jersey for the Tour’s best climber.

NEW YORK (AP) – Major League Baseball implemented random blood testing for human growth hormone in the minor leagues Thursday, the fi rst pro sports league in the U.S. to take the aggressive step against doping.

Testing will be limited to players

with minor-league contracts because they are not members of the play-ers’ association, which means blood testing is not subject to collective bargaining.

The players association has long been against blood testing.

Shorter course in store for Oak Hollow drag boat racesBY GREER SMITH

ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – When this year’s version of the boat drags on Oak Hollow Lake gets in gear with test and tune today, some of the racers won’t be traveling quite as far.

Taking a cue from their land counter-parts – the National Hot Rod Associa-tion – sanctioning body Lucas Oil short-ened the runs for its professional classes from a quarter-mile to 1,000 feet.

The NHRA made its change to length-

en the runoff areas at all venues after a death last year. Mike Chastain, direc-tor of motorsports operations for Lu-cas Oil, said the reduction for the drag boats was made to reduce the number of engine failures and for safety.

“We’re heavily involved in NHRA and what we found after talking to car owners is the 1,000-foot helps keep parts more livable,” Chastain said. “We’re wasting fewer parts and it is making the courses a lot more safe. We thought it was time to adopt the 1,000-foot rule. The racers and owners like it, especial-

ly the owners, because they are the ones having to buy the parts.”

Chastain said the change has reduced the number of parts failures by 20 per-cent and it kept at least one boat from fl ipping.

With the shorter distance, the win-ning time in the featured Top Fuel Hy-dro Class in last weekend’s event in Augusta, Ga., was 2.722 seconds, with a fi nish trap speed of 209.147 mph. The top speed in last year’s event at Oak Hollow, the fi rst since 2001, was 258.64 mph. Top elapsed times for the quarter-mile have

been just more than 4.5 seconds.“They can still run on up toward 250,”

Chastain said. “The speed is still there.All the bad things that happen in dragboat racing, as dangerous as this sportis, seem to happen on the top end. This isgiving the drivers more time to react.”

Chastain said he expects 80-85 boats,including 20-25 in the four professionalclasses. As of Thursday, four Top FuelHydro boats were in the pits. Chastainsaid a fi fth was expected.


Ganassi drives for history

A s a car owner, Chip Ganassi hasn’t tasted the success in NASCAR

that he has enjoyed in win-ning championships and races in the Indy Racing League and the Grand-Am sports car series.

Since the start of the 2003 season, Ganassi has reached NASCAR’s victory lane just twice. The fi rst came at the hands of Juan Pablo Montoya at Sonoma in 2007. The other win was authored by Jamie McMurray in the Daytona 500, and puts Ganassi in position to make a bit of history this Sunday.

He already made some when his car driven by Dario Franchitti won the India-napolis 500, making Ganassi the fi rst owner to win the two most important 500-mile races in the U.S. in the same year. If either McMurray or Montoya win Sunday in the Brickyard 400, Ganassi will become the fi rst to win the Daytona 500 and both Indianapolis events in the same year.

“Obviously, if you want to win some, those are the ones you want to win,” Ganassi said in a conference call this week while also noting the lack of other victories in both NAS-CAR and the IRL.

Given the prowess of Mon-toya at IMS, Ganassi has a shot. Montoya won the India-napolis 500 for Ganassi in 2000 and then last year almost won the Brickyard. He was un-touchable from the start until

a late speeding penalty opened the door for Jim-mie Johnson.

“It seems to me that from the fi rst day he saw the place he liked it,” Ganassi said. “Believe me, I was as surprised as anybody. It was in an Indy car,

and the pole speeds that year were 220 or 221 or something, and his very fi rst run out of the box, he did a high 216 in his fi rst four laps around the place.

“He came in and we said, ‘What’s the car doing?’ He said: ‘The car is doing nothing. It’s like a slot car.’ I said, ‘What do we need to go faster?’ He said, ‘I just got to hold my foot down further.’ OK. It’s not a complex thing. At least it wasn’t that day. As we all know, certainly 90 to 95 percent of racing you can pick up pretty quick. It’s that last 5 percent you’ll work on the rest of your life.”

Dale Jarrett, the former Cup champ who will call the race for ESPN, said Montoya just has a knack for getting around Indy quickly.

“I think what makes Juan Pablo so good, there are cer-tain drivers that get a feel for a racetrack regardless what you’re going to drive there,” Jarrett said. “And that helps his crew chief a lot because he knows what feel that he’s looking for and he

can give great information.”Ganassi said he got over the

sting of last year’s defeat in about 20 minutes because he was more concerned about re-covery from surgery on his eye. He said Montoya took a few more minutes to let the loss go.

“I don’t want to make a big thing about it, but that puts things into perspective really quickly about what’s impor-tant in life and what isn’t,” Ga-nassi said. “There are things more important than winning races. However, having said that, all the great races are great to win. And that one

would certainly mean a little more because for me and for racing, that’s where racing got started.”

Drawing on personal experience, Jarrett believes the Ganassi team is pointing toward vindication. Driving for Robert Yates in 1998, Jar-rett dominated until running out of fuel in a failed attempt to win a bonus for leading at halfway. Jarrett was taken out of contention by the blunder.

He got the second of his Brickyard victories the next year.

“I tell you, that stayed with

me for a while, but I came back the next year more determined to win that race in 1999,” Jarrett said. “We brought the same race car back. I’m sure these guys prob-ably have built new stuff that is much better. But I would think that they’re going to be there more determined than ever to win this race. Losing does stay with you for a while. But this week, he won’t think about what he let get away. He’ll think about how he can get to Victory Lane.”

Womble falls at Junior AmENTERPRISE STAFF, WIRE REPORTS

ADA, Mich. – High Point’s Da-vis Womble didn’t lose his match Thursday at the U.S. Junior Ama-teur Championship. He simply got in the way of steamroller Jim Liu of Smithtown, N.Y.

Liu recorded birdies on eight of the 11 holes he and Womble played in the Round of 32 on the Classic Course at Egypt Valley Country Club, with Womble winning only the third hole with a birdie-4 and halving the par-3 sixth.

It all added up to an 8 & 7 loss Wesleyan Christian Academy’s rising junior, while Liu won his second match Thursday to reach this morning’s quarterfi nals. The semifi nals follow.

TRIO LEADS SENIOR BRITISH OPENCARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP)

– Jay Don Blake shot a 4-under 67 to lead a strong American showing in the opening round of the Brit-ish Seniors Open at Carnoustie on Thursday.

Blake is in a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard alongside Germany’s Bernhard Langer and England’s Carl Mason.

Below that trio, the only non-American in the next 17 places was Scotsman Sam Torrance, who shot a 69.

Among the Americans chasing the leaders were U.S. Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin (69) and for-mer captain Tom Lehman (71).

Of the three former European captains in the fi eld, only Torrance emerged from the fi rst round un-der par. He’s hoping to complete a golfi ng double for his 78-year-old father. Bob Torrance was the coach who built Padraig Harrington’s swing before his 2007 victory at Carnoustie in the British Open.

DELAHOUSSAYE LEADS CANADIANTORONTO (AP) – Brent Dela-

houssaye shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday to match the Canadian Open record, making an eagle, sev-en birdies and a bogey at historic St. George’s.

Bristol-Myers posts 6 percent profi t loss

TRENTON, N.J. – Drug-maker Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. said Thurs-day its second-quarter sales rose slightly but profi t was down nearly 6 percent, due to the loss of income from its former nutrition business, spun off late last year.

Bristol managed to beat analysts’ profi t estimates by a penny per share. But its revenue just missed their expectations. Bris-tol-Myers reported net income of $927 million, or 53 cents per share. A year earlier, it earned $983 mil-lion, or 49 cents per share.

Sales boost drives up AutoNation earnings

NEW YORK – AutoNa-tion Inc.’s net income rose 29 percent in the second quarter, driven by a recovery in sales of new and used cars and trucks, the country’s largest dealership chain said Thursday.

CEO Mike Jackson said new cars at his deal-ers are selling for about $1,000 more on average. Sales in the “ground zero” states of the hous-ing meltdown are up 20 percent, he said.

AutoNation, based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., posted net income of $47.2 million, or 29 cents per share.

Oil prices rise on Gulf storm forecast

Oil prices advanced Thursday as energy pro-ducers kept an eye on a de-veloping tropical storm that could move into the Gulf of Mexico by the weekend.

At the gas pump, prices were unchanged at a na-tional average of $2.718 for a gallon of unleaded regu-lar gasoline. Benchmark crude surged $2.74, or 3.6 percent, to settle at $79.30 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Bernanke: Don’t end stimulus

spendingWASHINGTON (AP)

– Federal Reserve Chair-man Ben Bernanke told Congress Thursday that the fragile economy needs government stimu-lus spending to strength-en the recovery and help reduce unemployment.

Testifying before the House Financial Services Committee, Bernanke urged lawmakers to come up with a credible plan to reduce the government’s record-high budget defi -cits in the long run. But he said they shouldn’t move now to slash spend-ing or boost taxes in the near future.

“I believe we should maintain our stimulus in the short term,” Bernan-ke said as he spoke about the economy’s challenges for the second straight day on Capitol Hill.

Bernanke again said the Fed is prepared to take new steps to bolster the recovery if needed.

“We are ready, and we will act” if the economy doesn’t continue to im-prove, Bernanke testifi ed.

But he refrained from repeating comments made earlier in the week, that he didn’t anticipate the Fed taking new action in the near term.

The Fed chief made his comments as the panel’s highest-ranking Republican, Rep. Spen-cer Bachus of Alabama, and other Republican members complained about the effectiveness of President Barack Obama’s $862 billion stimulus package.

“The economic recov-ery is anemic at best,” Bachus said, arguing that the stimulus pack-age hasn’t delivered.

Bernanke also gave a nod to renewing tax cuts by President George W. Bush, which are set to expire at the end of the year.

“In the short term, I would believe that we ought to maintain a rea-sonable degree of fi scal support – stimulus – for the economy. There are many ways to do that. This is one way,” he said.

Philip Morris income rises in 2nd quarterRICHMOND, Va. (AP)

– Higher retail prices and a jump in shipment volume in Asia helped net income grow 28 per-cent for cigarette maker Philip Morris Interna-tional, which sells ciga-rettes overseas only, the company said Thursday.

Philip Morris Interna-tional, which sells Marlboro and other top brands out-side the U.S., says it earned $1.98 billion, or $1.07 per share. That compares with $1.55 billion, or 79 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding excise taxes,

revenue rose 15 percent to $7.06 billion. Most to-bacco companies around the world have been rais-ing prices to keep profi ts up as the recession and declining demand cut into cigarette volumes.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters on average expected profi t of 97 cents per share on revenue of $6.83 billion.

After lowering its forecast for its full-year net income, the company went back Thursday to its original range of $3.75 to $3.85 per share.

Earnings, jobless claims send mixed message

WASHINGTON (AP) – A fl urry of strong earn-ings reports renewed Wall Street’s optimism in the economic recovery, even as new data Thursday showed homes sales sink-ing and claims for unem-ployment benefi ts rising.

Sales of previously occu-pied homes fell 5.1 percent in June to a seasonally ad-justed annual rate of 5.37 million, the National As-sociation of Realtors said.

Meanwhile, new claims for unemployment insur-ance jumped by 37,000 to a seasonally adjusted 464,000, the Labor De-

partment said. Seasonal factors boosted new re-quests for benefi ts. Still, fi rst-time claims remain elevated, pointing to a sluggish job market.

Separately, the Conference board, a private research group, said its gauge of future economic activity dropped in June. It was the second de-cline in three months.

But investors looked past the latest reports to focus on earnings from a broad range of companies that showed businesses aren’t seeing a slowdown. Caterpillar Inc., 3M Co., UPS Inc. and AT&T Inc.

all topped earnings fore-casts and raised their out-looks for future profi t.

Still, the housing indus-try has struggled the past two months since govern-ment incentives ended in April, even with low home prices and mortgage rates. High unemployment, tight credit and a rise in fore-closures have kept many people from buying.

“The economy and the housing market are go-ing to remain stagnant for a long time,” said Sam Khater, senior economist at real estate data provider CoreLogic.

NEW YORK (AP) –Stocks had their biggestrally in two weeks Thurs-day as earnings and eco-nomic reports reassuredinvestors that the recov-ery, while uncertain, iscontinuing.

The Dow Jones industri-al average rose 201 pointsafter second-quarter earn-ings from Caterpillar Inc.,UPS Inc. and other com-panies beat analysts’ fore-casts. A better than ex-pected report on housingand encouraging signs ofgrowth in Europe addedto the upbeat mood.

But investors might beready to sell again whentrading resumes Friday.After the close of regulartrading, Amazon.com Inc.issued a report that fellshort of expectations. Itsstock fell almost 14 per-cent in after-hours trad-ing.

If the market gives backgains Friday, it wouldfollow its pattern of fall-ing on disappointmentsin what so far has been amixed earnings season.

Microsoft Corp. also re-leased earnings after theclose of trading and beatanalyst estimates. Its stockfell slightly.

Investors had plenty ofreasons to buy on Thurs-day. Caterpillar said its or-ders are growing and pro-duction will pick up in thesecond half of the year.

UPS raised its outlookbecause of spending bybusinesses. Caterpillar’sstock rose 1.7 percent,while UPS gained 5.2 per-cent.

UPS raises

outlookNEW YORK (AP) – UPS

isn’t expecting U.S. con-sumers to signifi cantly increase spending any-time soon.

Instead, it’s counting on businesses to push the economy – and UPS’ do-mestic business – slowly forward with overdue purchases of computers and other electronics.

UPS on Thursday ex-pressed confi dence that the “slow pace” of eco-nomic recovery in the U.S. can be overcome by increased prices and strong international ship-ments. UPS raised its full-year outlook for the sec-ond time since January.

The results from the world’s largest shipping company confi rm that U.S. consumers and businesses aren’t spending beyond the necessities – except when it comes to technology.

Consumers are gob-bling up iPhones, iPads and other new gadgets that are shipped from Asia, Chief Financial Offi -cer Kurt Kuehn said in an interview with The Asso-ciated Press. Technology purchases are countering sluggish spending in oth-er areas for businesses, too – especially those that put off upgrades or new computer purchases dur-ing the recession.

“Tech has really been leading from Asia, with China leading the charge,” Kuehn said. A growing portion of UPS’ business is internation-al.

GM to buy fi nance company for $3.5 billionDETROIT (AP) – Gen-

eral Motors Co. will buy AmeriCredit Corp. for $3.5 billion, a deal that al-lows the automaker to ex-pand loans to customers with poor credit and offer more leases, key areas where GM must grow to accelerate its car sales.

But the acquisition of the independent auto fi -nancing company also means that GM, which is 61 percent owned by the U.S. government, is getting back into the business of making risky loans. GM said it advised the U.S. Treasury Depart-

ment of the acquisition, although government ap-proval was not required.

GM executives have said for months that they were missing sales op-portunities due to lack of credit for lease deals and fi nancing for subprime buyers, those with credit scores below 620 on a 300-to-850-point scale. About 40 percent of U.S. customers have below prime credit scores, said Chris Liddell, GM’s chief fi nancial offi cer.

“Clearly there’s an op-portunity to bring more people into our show-

rooms and help them with fi nance,” he said after the deal was an-nounced on Thursday.

Customers should now expect more lease deals from GM, which gets just 7 percent of its sales from leases, compared with 21 percent for the industry, he said. Only 4 percent of GM’s sales come from subprime buyers, which the company hopes to expand with the acquisi-tion. Liddell said even a modest increase in sub-prime buyers from 4 per-cent to 5 percent would be signifi cant.

Caterpillar profi t soars in 2nd quarter

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Caterpillar’s second-quarter earnings shot up 91 percent with the heavy machinery man-ufacturer reporting ro-bust sales of equipment for industries that range from mining and infra-structure to energy.

The company boosted its 2010 profi t outlook as

well on Thursday, say-ing it is trying to keep up with new orders and will ramp up production.

Asian sales grew by 62 percent to $1.7 billion. The North American market, Caterpillar’s biggest, saw sales rise 43 percent. Caterpillar reported second-quarter net income of $707 mil-lion, or $1.09 per share.
