127th year

DENTON – Mentor-ing at South Davidson High and South Da-vidson Middle gives Karen Gadwah the op-portunity to share her life experiences, with the goal of steering children in the right direction.

For her efforts, Gad-wah was recently pre-sented with the Donna H. Black Mentor of the Year Award for the 2009-10 school year by Communities In Schools of Lexington/Davidson County. The award is named after the former executive director of Communi-ties In Schools.

“It’s nice, but it means more to be working with the kids and what I see happening with the kids,” Gadwah said of the award.

Three years ago, Gad-wah started her work as a mentor with Commu-nities In Schools when she heard a presenta-tion about the nonprof-it at Denton Wesleyan Church. Refl ecting on her childhood, she be-lieves Communities In Schools’ mentor-ing program would have benefi ted her as a youngster.

“All of my experienc-es in my life ... enable me to be able to help these kids because I have walked a very

long path in my life and came a long way,” she said. “Hopefully, I am able to touch some-body with all of that.”

And she has.Christina Howell,

executive director of Communities In Schools of Lexing-ton/Davidson County, said students are anx-ious to spend time with Gadwah. “She currently meets with 12 different students throughout the day each Thursday of her week,” Howell said. “Her students look for-ward to the time with her, calling her both friend and hero.”

Gadwah volunteers six hours a week as a mentor and plans to double that amount during the upcoming school year.

“I let all my kids know that I’m on call for them even when I am not at the school,” she said. “... If any of

my kids have a prob-lem, they can call me. I also am available dur-ing the summer months as well. They have my phone number.”

Not only has Gadwah had an impact on stu-dents, she also sparked her husband, Dean, to mentor as well. He has been volunteering time with Communities In Schools for two years.

“It’s life experiences and we are hoping they will not make the same mistakes that we did growing up,” he said.

Sweltering heat makes hot jobs hotter

BY DIANNA BELLENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – With tempera-tures in the 90s, working in an al-ready-warm environment makes some local residents’ jobs even hotter, and while temperatures may be a little uncomfortable for most of us, the heat makes these jobs almost unbearable.

At A Cleaner World at 1530 N. Main St., employees wash, dry and press clothes while having a giant boiler running continu-ously.

“It’s about 6 to 7 degrees cooler inside than what it is outside,” said Candie Lawson, manager of the N. Main Street location. “Ev-erything runs off of steam from the boiler – the irons, machines, and presses.”

So to add to the heat, workers have steam surrounding them, emulating a North Carolina sum-mer indoors.

High Point leads Triad growth rate

BY DAVID NIVENSENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – High Point closed out the census decade with nearly 17,000 additional people, according to the last population estimate the U.S. Census Bureau will report based on the 2000 Census.

The city’s population esti-mate for 2009 was 103,396, up 16,787, or 19.4 percent, from the 2000 count. The bureau will have a new base after the 2010 Census count.

During the decade, the city grew faster than any other Triad municipality including Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Greensboro grew 11.6 percent to 255,061 and Winston-Salem 13.7 per-cent to 229,828.

For years, city leaders have attributed High Point’s growth to suburban housing and business development on the north side along the N.C. 68 corridor.

In the year ended July 1, 2009, High Point grew by slightly more than 1,000 resi-dents, and the Triad region in general grew by 5,500.

High Point ranked 8th state-wide in population behind third-place Greensboro and fourth-place Winston-Salem.

Among other Triad cities and towns, Thomasville grew 8.6 percent during the decade to 26,612, and Lexington grew by 1.5 percent to 20,213. Arch-dale added 219 people to grow 2.4 percent to 9,317 residents. Trinity gained 277 residents to grow to 7,001.

No Triad cities or towns lost population during the decade, which ended with a major recession. Cities losing population included Goldsboro with 1,800 resi-dents, Kinston 1,700 people and Lenoir, 276 residents.

The Triangle and the Char-lotte metropolitan areas con-tinued to set the growth pace

in North Carolina. Cary grew 41 percent to 136,600 residents to rank as 19th nationwide in growth, and Raleigh grew 40 percent during the decade to 405,791 to rank 20th in growth.

Charlotte grew 25 percent to rank 38th in growth. High Point was 50th in growth, Winston-Salem 76th and Greensboro 95th in growth.

In the last year, Cary was second in growth nationwide at 5.7 percent and Raleigh 14th at 3 percent. Greensboro grew 1.6 percent in the last year, High Point 1 percent and Win-ston-Salem 0.9 percent.

The Census Bureau used local records of births and deaths, Internal Revenue Ser-vice records of people moving within the U.S. and census statistics on immigrants.


GROWTH–New York City remains the nation’s largest city with a population of 8.39 million followed by Los Angeles at 3.83 million, Chicago at 2.85 million and Houston with 2.26 million. There has been no change in rank since 2000.

In North Carolina, Char-lotte remained the 18th-largest city, with 709,441 on July 1, 2009, up 2.4 percent from 692,989 in 2008, when the Queen City grew to be the country’s 18th-largest city. The city’s population has risen by 141,498 since the start of the decade, the sixth-largest gain among U.S. cities. Raleigh is the state’s second-largest city, with a 2009 population estimate of 405,791.

Homeowner fi nds naked man asleep on sofaSAN DIEGO (AP)

– A San Diego resident awoke to a shocking discovery: a naked stranger passed out on his downstairs sofa.

San Diego police Lt. Jim Filley says the Pa-cifi c Beach homeowner called police after wan-

dering downstairs Sun-day morning and fi nd-ing the snoring man.

Filley says the naked man was drunk and thought he was in his own home in Mission Valley, some 20 miles away.

The man, whose name wasn’t released, had

taken off his clothes outside the house and walked in through the unlocked front door.

The homeowner de-clined to press charges. And since the intruder had sobered up, he was released to fi nd his own way home.

HOT JOBSSweltering heat

to have the AC going all of the time,” Lawson said.

The room does have ex-haust fans going to help cool the employees down for the fi ve hours they are there each day.

Those employed at Thompson Roofi ng Co., located at 210 W. Parkway Ave. in High Point, can sympathize. Workers in-stall and remove roofi ng for large parts of their day, placing them in direct con-tact with the sun.

“It’s extremely hot,” said Ronnie Thompson, owner of Thompson Roof-ing Co. “We start work at 8 a.m. and fi nish between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. some days because it’s so hot.”

Thompson has been in the business for 51 years and knows the ins and outs of the trade. His ad-vice for beating the sum-mer heat while on the job is to “drink plenty of wa-ter and take breaks.”

But perhaps the hot-

test job would be layingdown searing asphalt for12 hours a day in the heatof the summer.

Jeff Lofl in, residentengineer for the DOT’sAsheboro Offi ce, de-scribed an average day:“Placing hot asphaltfrom 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.would have to be the hot-test job to do during thesummer. The asphalt isaround 300 degrees, plusthe heat of ambient tem-peratures makes for asweltering day.”

There is no option forholding off work until acooler season. Lofl in saysthe work has to be donewhen it is hot out to en-sure the asphalt does notcool to quickly when be-ing placed.

Echoing the advice ofThompson, Lofl in says em-ployees “drink lots of fl uidsand some have cool hats andcollars that they wear.”

Marines, state join forces to keep NC military-friendly

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

KINSTON – The commander of East Coast Marine Corps instal-lations gave the N.C. Board of Transportation ideas for keeping the state military-friendly.

“We are going through the greatest military construction pe-riod we have ever experienced in the Marine Corps,” Maj. Gen. Carl B. Jensen of MCI-East, headquar-tered at Camp Lejeune, told trans-portation board members at the Global TransPark last week.

Military construction in eastern North Carolina to accommodate ongoing growth involves “2,200 contractors – builders come in ev-ery day on new projects,” Jensen said. “Every day they build the equivalent of $1.4 million worth of construction and that’s going to get larger next year. That’s a lot of money; that’s a lot of construc-tion.”

Jensen and Paul Friday, deputy assistant chief of staff, outlined regional Marine Corps contribu-tions and needs from the trans-portation department for the board, Transportation Secretary

Gene Conti and key department offi cials.

Friday said that infrastructure is typically built to encourage growth, but in this case the mili-tary growth is here with the 11,477 new residents expected by 2013 al-

ready in place – and then some.“With people in the military

coming ... we’ve had huge con-struction buildup in Eastern North Carolina when the econ-omy was not that great,” Friday said. Increased partnerships be-tween North Carolina and the military in an array of areas were suggested. Those areas included more agriculture for food and fuel to be used on military bases, and

studying the feasibility of using the Global TransPark runways for military troop and supply movement.

He said the military will do a feasibility study on using the run-way. “There is no reason I can think of why this can’t happen,” he said.

“If we ever had a general mobili-zation for this nation to go to war, we’re going to need it” as well as its potential use for weather-relat-ed evacuation,” Jensen said. “It makes sense not to have all your eggs in one basket.”

Friday said another reason to use the runways is that the cost for loading at the Morehead City Port has risen for the Navy and the Navy doesn’t want to pay three times as much for tugs.

Friday outlined a need for growth pattern changes to keep open airspace in Eastern North Carolina that has shrunk 85 percent from its original 1957 footprint. To have the military, there has to be airspace for train-ing, the men stressed. A complex pattern has been fi ne-tuned over the years and cannot get any smaller.

‘Every day they build the equivalent of $1.4 million worth of construction and that’s going to get larger next year.’Maj. Gen. Carl B. Jensen

Beach front property going for $100

at North TopsailMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

NEWS SERVICE

J A C K S O N V I L L E – Sounds like a scam or George Strait song, but it’s not. Onslow County is selling oceanfront prop-erty for a C-Note.

Commissioners are poised to sell a non-build-able lot in North Top-sail Beach for $100 at its Wednesday night meet-ing.

But the buyer, a Chapel Hill investor, isn’t getting a steal – at least not in com-parison to surrounding property. Adjacent land to the .15-acre lot is valued at one Benjamin also.

Onslow Tax Adminis-trator Harry Smith said the string of properties along Ocean Drive were valued at $100 because much of the land is under water at high tide.

“It will be a long while before those pieces of land are worth more,” he said Friday, adding that in order to build a struc-ture on the lots, the line of vegetation has to be 60 feet away, and that reach-es across the street.

But someone thinks theventure is worth it. Thesurrounding $100 lots areowned by out-of-state in-vestors or Raleigh-basedcorporations. And lotsjust across the street arevalued at around $250,000including $150,000 homes,according to records atthe Onslow County TaxOffi ce.

On Nov. 16, 2009, thecounty declared theOcean Drive parcel assurplus. On June 1, Da-vid R. Hughes placeda $100 bid for the landwith a $5 deposit. Hecould not be reached forcomment.

Pursuant to state laws,county commissionerscan advertise for sealedbids, consider upset bidsor conduct a public auc-tion. County staff recom-mended that if the boardaccepts the bid they ap-prove the method of saleand authorize the countypurchasing agent to con-duct the sale.

Onslow County Man-ager Jeff Hudson said theidea is to return land notbeing used by the govern-ment to the public.

Forecasters: Heat wave arriving in SC this weekCOLUMBIA (AP) – Forecasters

say the heat is coming back to South Carolina after a brief re-prieve over the holiday weekend.

Several places across the state enjoyed near-record lows in the 60s at the start of the Indepen-

dence Day holiday weekend. But the high pressure system that brought the cool weather has moved east, bringing heat and hu-midity back.

By Wednesday, highs should be in the upper 90s in most of the state.

The humidity will be rising, mak-ing it feel several degrees hotter.

The summer has started out hot. Columbia, North Charleston and Greenville all recorded their warmest or second warmest June in decades.

Chicago Mayor Daley is trying to block the McDonald vs. Chicago ruling by instituting new fi rearms ordinances.

These anti-gun ordinances have a strong micromanagement tone to them. If you want to own a gun in Chicago, “you have to do this, you have to do that.” In other words, you have to “ask permis-sion” twice to own a fi rearm in Chicago. Federal requirements to purchase a fi rearm already include the rock solid FBI NICS check.

Daley is going against what the USA’s highest court has ruled twice in recent years regarding the Second Amendment. Daley’s gun control activities make him a domestic enemy to the U.S. Con-stitution, a threat to individual American freedom, and his activi-ties should not be tolerated.

The forefathers put the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights, not the main body of the Consti-tution. That was done because the Bill of Rights is exactly what its title says … a bill of rights or freedoms for the American citizen as individuals. If these individual

rights or freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution are taken away by law violators posing as elected representatives, the contract between American citizenry and our elected representatives is broken and America as we know it no longer exists. The Second Amendment was placed inside the Bill of Rights right up there with freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom of assembly.

There are foreign enemies of the U.S. Constitution such as commu-nist dictatorships, terrorists and others. But there are also domes-tic enemies to the U.S. Constitu-tion who are U.S. citizens and live right here in the good ole USA, who are actually worse than the overseas enemies of the U.S. Con-stitution. A constitutional traitor is worse than a foreign terrorist. To me, Daley is a constitutional traitor.

Politicians, bureaucrats keep

grabbing for more power

Would you send a “fox to guard your hen house?” I don’t think so!

“Leaders move government reform through legislature” is a real joke. America has no leaders? For past fi ve decades, politicians’ “reform” created “doomsday” for workers after selling them out for bigger retirement accounts. Think about NAFTA, CAFTA and their “reform.” The only thing we’re servicing is unemployment, social and welfare programs. What a pity the politicians have been allowed to take control, sell-ing Americans out, one job at a time, thus bankrupting America!

The latest is “the Healthy School Meals Act 4870” that would reward schools and fi ght obesity! Taxpayers have heard it all now! Their “too fat to fi ght” and unfi t-for-military is the reason politi-cians know how to gain more

control over your children. Par-ents surely knew this would mean they no longer control. Folks, this is how bigger government works. These programs don’t work, never have, never will!

While I’m on a roll, isn’t it about time to sell politicians, of all party affi liations, a one-way ticket to GITMO and take all their assets to pay for the trillions they’ve borrowed without taxpayers’ con-sent. This “reform” for over fi ve decades created huge government that borrowed from foreign coun-tries, left IOU’s in Social Security that belonged to taxpayers, and spun America into an oblivion!

Maybe the governor of California has the right idea. With no budgets, minimum wage in place. Brilliant! Local, state and federal people took government jobs for secu-rity reasons. Like all politicians, decided their salaries, all benefi ts and retirements should be higher than private sector and paid for by taxpayers that were earning a little more than the minimum wage.

Time to wake up, America!SHIRLEY DELONG

YOUR VIEW---

F rom Brussels and London to Washing-ton and Raleigh, politicians are debat-ing about how governments should

respond to persistent economic woes.There are far more than two identifi able

opinions, I’ll grant you, but they can be grouped into two general categories: Tastes Great vs. Less Filling.

In general, the Tastes Great team believes that recessions occur when consumers stop buying enough goods and services to sustain production. Whatever valid reasons indi-vidual consumers might have for becoming thriftier, the macro effect on the economy is seen as unwelcome.

The Tastes Great team concludes that more government expenditures are needed to prop up aggregate demand, keeping cur-rent workers employed. Furthermore, they tend to believe that increasing government budgets boosts long-term economic growth anyway, because only government offi cials have the requisite knowledge and incentives to invest in education, infrastructure, and other capital assets that pay future returns.

The tasty policy brew that advances both be-liefs is a mix of higher taxes, higher spending, and higher debt. Instead of leaving income in private hands, they favor taxing and redistrib-uting it to lower-income households, who are more likely to spend than save.

In general, the Less Filling team believes that recessions occur when production and consumption get misaligned. That is, the problem isn’t so much a lack of consumer demand as it is a surplus of particular goods that consumers no longer want and a defi cit of particular goods that they’d rather buy. Businesses must draw down inventories of less-popular goods and retool to produce more-popular goods. As a result, some plants, stores, and divisions are closed. Some employees and vendors are displaced.

Each economic bust refl ects a supply-de-

mand disconnect that origi-nated during the prior boom. Most recently, government policies favored spending on housing over spending on other capital goods, creating an artifi cial bubble of demand for new homes that eventu-ally popped.

The best thing policymak-ers can do to shorten reces-sions, says the Less Filling crowd, is to avoid blocking the necessary adjustments. Allow

prices and wages to adjust to reality. Don’t make the adjustments more expensive by raising taxes, bailing out failed enterprises, or increasing the subsidy for remaining unemployed.

As for long-term growth, the Less Filling crowd agrees that investment in human, physical, intellectual, and other capital is valuable – but disagrees that govern-ment monopolies should dominate such investment. Before collecting more taxes or issuing more debt to fi nance still more government spending, they prefer to reform existing education and infrastructure pro-grams to increase their productivity.

Yet another way to think about the differ-ence is this: both teams know that govern-ment can only spend to the extent that it reduces private spending, either through raising taxes or issuing debt. But the Tastes Great team thinks that it can trick the gen-eral public out of a recession by “priming the pump” with government stimulus appar-ently concocted out of thin air.

The other team thinks that such gimmicks may taste great politically, but are less eco-nomically fi lling than letting those who earn income spend it as they see fi t.

O pen secret, clearly confused, found missing, military intelligence, jumbo shrimp, unbiased opinion, virtual real-

ity, pretty ugly, rolling stop and transparency in government.

Oxymorons all. Figures of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side; compressed paradoxes.

Everybody in government – particularly federal and state – seems to talk about trans-parency but most of us see – especially outside government – so little of it, it’s diffi cult to rec-ognize when it occurs.

And one relatively unnoticed step at a time, some – perhaps many – governmental bodies are easing away from compliance with the North Carolina Open Meetings Law and, ex-cept for a few of your representatives from the media (particularly newspaper reporters), no-body seems to care.

Example: In accordance with the law, this announcement was sent to media on June 28.

“The Guilford County Board of Education will hold a special meeting on Thursday July 1 at 6 p.m. to consider student assignment issues and such other business matters as may come before the board. The meeting will be held in the Board Room of the Administrative Offi ces, 712 N. Eugene St., Greensboro, N.C.”

So far, so good.The High Point Enterprise’s David Nivens

showed up at 5:50 p.m. July 1, noticed the lob-by lights were off, that no meeting agenda was posted in the lobby and a sign on the meeting room door said the meeting room was closed for a closed session. Realizing that it would be fruitless to remain alone in the lobby, no other media representatives showed up.

Recognize that, for nine reasons, public bod-ies may hold closed sessions but only upon a motion duly made and adopted at an open meeting. Such motion shall cite one or more of the nine permissible purposes. Because the July 1 meeting was not a session continued from a previously recessed meeting, the last-spublic meeting was adjourned at the close of business, it appeared to Nivens, and to his edi-tors, that the closed meeting was illegal.

No big deal, you say?Perhaps. But fudging the rules and skirting

the law here and there is like being a little bit pregnant. We’ve started down the slippery slope to leaving the public (and its representa-tives in the meeting) in the dark. What eventu-ally is born is government run amok.

Biden, Iraqi president discuss how to end deadlockBAGHDAD (AP) – Vice

President Joe Biden on Monday made a fi nal ef-fort to push Iraqi leaders to bridge their differences, which have created a dan-gerous political vacuum as U.S. troops head home.

The vice president met with senior Iraqi offi cials, including President Jalal

Talabani, before wrap-ping up a Fourth of July

visit designed to help Iraq overcome a four-month post-election stalemate in efforts to form a new government.

During the trip, Biden urged rival Iraqi politi-cians to select new lead-ers for their wobbly de-mocracy without further delays, emphasizing that

a government that does not represent all sides would not be successful.

Iraq has been without a new government since the March 7 election, which produced no clear winner. The bickering between opposing political blocs vying to lead the country has raised fears that in-

surgents could exploit the uncertainty to reignite sectarian violence.

Biden’s discussions with Talabani focused on ways to move the politi-cal process forward, Tal-abani said in a statement, without giving details. Speaking to reporters before the meeting, Ta-

labani also said the twowould discuss ways to en-hance Iraq-U.S. relationsafter the withdrawal ofU.S. forces from Iraq.

On Monday, Biden alsomet with Shiite clericAmmar al-Hakim, leaderof the Iranian-backedSupreme Islamic IraqiCouncil.

Car bomber kills soldier in Pakistan

MINGORA, Pakistan (AP) – A Taliban sui-cide car bomber shot at guards and detonated his explosives at the gate of a paramilitary base in northwestern Pakistan before dawn Monday, killing one soldier and

wounding at least seven other people, said secu-rity offi cials.

Elsewhere in the vola-tile border region, the army said it had killed a top Pakistan Taliban commander in clashes with militants in the ba-zaar in Miran Shah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal area.

The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the suicide attack in a tele-phone call to The Associ-ated Press. Hafeez Ullah, who identifi ed himself as a local Taliban commander, said the goal was to free Taliban militants impris-oned at the base in Lower Dir district.

The bomber fi rst tried to force his way onto the

base by shooting at troopsand policemen guard-ing the gate, said Maj.Suleman Khan, a spokes-man for the paramilitaryFrontier Corps. He blewhimself up after realizinghe couldn’t penetrate thebase, said Khan.

The guards killed a sec-ond suicide car bomber,preventing him from deto-nating his explosives, andalso killed two suicidebombers who were on foot,said Khan. The blast fromthe fi rst bomber killed onesoldier, said the army in astatement.

There were confl ictingreports about how manypeople were wounded inthe attack.

The army said sevensoldiers were wounded.But a local police offi cer,Raffat Ali, said 12 werewounded, including 10troops and two police-men. Two civilians alsowere wounded by retalia-tory fi re from guards try-ing to repel the bombers,said Ali.

The Pakistani Talibanhas declared war on thegovernment because thegroup deems it unIslamicand is upset at its alliancewith the United States.

The military has re-sponded by launchinga series of offensivesagainst the Taliban in thenorthwest.

Clinton criticizes Russia for occupying Georgia

TBILISI, Georgia (AP) – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton rebuked Russia on Mon-day for failing to live up to the cease-fi re agree-ment it signed nearly two years ago to end the fi ght-ing in this small former Soviet state.

She asserted that Rus-sia is occupying parts of Georgia and building per-manent military bases in contravention of the truce.

“We’re calling on the Russians to enforce

the agree-ment they signed,” she told a news c o n f e r -ence with G e o r g i a n P r e s i d e n t M i k h a i l

Saakashvili at her side. She said that includes pulling its troops back to the positions they held before the invasion.

Several times she point-edly referred to Russian troops as occupiers of the

breakaway Georgian ter-ritories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. She said the U.S. was “appalled and totally rejected” Russia’s rationale for the invasion, which tempo-rarily put U.S.-Russian relations in a deep freeze and prompted NATO to suspend cooperation with Moscow.

“The United States is steadfast in its commit-ment to Georgia’s sov-ereignty and territorial integrity,” she said.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The fi rst stage of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul is expected to provide coverage to about 1 million uninsured Americans by next year, accord-ing to government estimates.

That’s a small share of the un-insured, but in a shaky econo-my, experts say it’s notable.

Many others – more than 100 million people – are getting new benefi ts that improve their ex-isting coverage.

Overall costs appear mod-est at this point, split among taxpayers, employers and in-dividuals who directly benefi t, although the biggest part of the health care expansion is still four years away.

For weeks, the White House has been touting the new law’s initial benefi t changes, even as Obama dares Republicans to make good on their threat to re-peal his signature social policy achievement. Now, a clearer pic-ture is starting to emerge from the patchwork of press releases.

In 2014, government tax cred-its will help uninsured workers and their families pay premi-ums, and Medicaid will take in many more low-income people. Eventually, more than 30 mil-lion will gain coverage, sharply reducing the number of unin-sured and putting the nation on a path to coverage for all citi-zens and legal immigrants.

Political salesmanship and an attempt to address some glar-ing health insurance problems are key elements of the strategy to explain the initial changes resulting from the law. After battling for a year to pass the

legislation, Democrats desper-ately wanted to have tangible accomplishments to point to in high-stakes congressional elections this fall. But they also have to defl ect lingering ques-tions, often stirred up by oppo-sition candidates, and doubts about the effectiveness of the overhaul and its costs.

“We’ve seen increasing num-bers of people losing their healthinsurance, particularly in this recession,” said Sara Collins, vice president of the Common-wealth Fund, a New York-based health research clearinghouse. “Providing this early relief will help people who are particu-larly affected by the downturn.” Collins reviewed coverage esti-mates in federal regulations for The Associated Press.

Among the benefi ciaries will be many people locked out of insurance because of medical problems.

The Raether family of subur-ban Milwaukee will gain from two of the changes: Elimination of lifetime coverage limits and a ban on insurers turning away children in poor health.

Four-year-old daughter Mira, who was born prematurely and has kidney problems, exhaust-ed the lifetime limit on her par-ents’ policy earlier this year. Mira now has temporary Medi-care coverage because of a kid-ney transplant, but her parents were worried about what would happen when they have to get her back on private insurance.

“A huge weight has been lifted,” said Sheryl Raether,

the mother. “She has ongoinghealth care needs, and I wasafraid she’d hit another lifetimelimit.” Medicare not only cov-ers seniors, but people of anyage with permanent kidney fail-ure.

The major early coverage ben-efi ts include:

• Allowing young adults tostay on their parents’ coverageuntil they turn 26.

• A health plan for uninsuredpeople with pre-existing healthconditions.

• Ending lifetime limits oncoverage, and restricting an-nual limits. As many as 20,400people a year hit lifetime limits,as did Mira Raether.

• Requiring insurers to coverchildren with medical prob-lems.

Obama congratulates Petraeus on new post

WASHINGTON – Presi-dent Barack Obama has congratulated Gen. David Petraeus for tak-ing charge of the U.S. military effort in Af-ghanistan.

Petraeus offi cially took over on Sunday in Kabul, replacing Gen. Stanley McChrystal. Obama fi red McChrystal last month after the general stunned his bosses with stinging criticism in a Rolling Stone magazine article.

The Senate unani-mously confi rmed Petraeus last week.

Obama held a confer-ence call Monday with Petraeus and Karl Eiken-berry, the U.S. ambassa-dor to Afghanistan.

Hoover Fire Depart-ment spokesman Rusty Lowe said one person was pronounced dead at the hospital, another is in critical and three are hospitalized with seri-

Archdale park gets new watchdogBY DARRICK IGNASIAK

ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ARCHDALE – Tim Keaton, Archdale’s newest po-lice offi cer, said he looks forward to ensuring that Creekside Park is a safe place for residents.

At the Archdale City Council’s retreat earlier this year, Elaine Albert-son, the city’s parks and recreation director, Dar-rell Gibbs, the city’s police chief and City Manager Jerry Yarborough recom-mended that the city hire a park ranger to moni-tor Creekside Park year-round. The City Council approved $35,646 in the city’s 2010-11 budget for a park ranger.

Previously, the city used security companies, coun-ty deputies and Archdale

police offi cers to monitor the park. Gibbs said the park needed a park rang-er because the park is of-ten used.

“We’ve have a lot of ball games and a lot of activ-

ity going on at the park,” Gibbs said. “We’ve had some fi ghts and different things go on at the ball games. We’ve had a truck set on fi re down there. We’ve had cars broken

into. We just wanted to have good presence down there.”

Keaton, who previously worked at the Department

of Corrections and the Guilford County Jail, was hired by the city in May. After working in various aspects of law enforce-ment as a non-sworn offi -cer, Keaton said he decid-ed to fulfi ll his childhood ream of being a cop.

Following training, Ke-

aton will begin work at Creekside Park in August.

Yarbrough said last week that he felt a park ranger at Creekside Park is important for the pro-tection of public property and patrons.

“Because of the increase use of the park and vandal-ism, I recommended that we have a sworn offi cer working for our chief to protect that park,” the city manager said. “I strongly feel that way. I think it’s a good investment.”

While Keaton’s primary job will be at Creekside, Gibbs said Keaton will be an asset for the entire city.

“If the guys in the fi eld get in a bind, he can leave the park and go help them,” Gibbs said.


Chill out

Some jobs fi ght off the summer heat – and then someBY DIANNA BELL

ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – While some sweat bullets on their 9-to-5 job, others must don winter garb to keep themselves warm in the frosty interiors of their workplaces.

For many in the hot summer months, ice cream is a heat-re-lieving treat. Emad Ali, man-ager of Cold Stone Creamery at 3875 John Gordon Lane, dis-cussed the below-freezing tem-peratures in the walk-in freezer that make North Carolina win-ters seem warm.

“It stays between zero to 5 degrees in the walk-in freezer to keep the ice cream cold,” Ali said. “But in the store-front area it stays about 68 de-grees.”

The second of those tempera-tures is refreshing after a string of days in the upper 90s, but even the biggest cold tempera-

ture fans might be a little wary of working at Swaim’s Quality Meats Inc., located at 338 Eaton Drive in High Point.

“We spend about eight hours a day processing meat in 40 to 45 degrees,” said Manager Gary Khan.

The freezer has to be kept at 20-below to store the meat. In the cooler, where they hang the cows, the temperature ranges from 32 to 38 degrees.

But he doesn’t mind the envi-ronment.

“In the summertime, it’s nice to work in these temperatures,” Khan said.

Todd’s Seafood, located at 624 National Highway in Thomas-ville, might have Swaim’s beat for the coldest working environ-ment.

With a freezer zero degrees and below and a refrigerated loading dock that ranges be-tween 35 to 40 degrees, special

clothing is required to weather the freezing temperatures while inside.

“We wear insulated suits and boots called freezer suits,” said Jimmy Todd, owner of Todd’s Seafood. “You don’t go in very long and stay with shorts on.”

Each day, employees spend six hours loading thousands upon thousands of pounds of seafood onto trucks to be distributed throughout the Carolinas and into Virginia and West Virgin-ia.

When asked how he’s dealt with the cold over the business’ 52 years, Todd says he dresses to be comfortable while indoors.

“It’s cold in the wintertime, and it’s cold in the summer-time,” Todd said. “I always dress accordingly to be able to handle it.”


ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RANDOLPH COUNTY – A pair of projects in and around Asheboro are among the latest round of state road-work announced by the N.C. Department of Transporta-tion.

State Transportation Secretary Gene Conti last week reported that 14 con-tracts totaling $76.4 mil-lion have been awarded for highway and bridge projects.

One project in Randolph County near Asheboro in-cludes replacement of the bridge over Lake Lucas on Lake Lucas Road. The work will be completed with an off-site detour, according to the DOT.

A $1.53 million contract was awarded to R.E. Burns & Sons Inc. of Statesville. The work is scheduled to begin later this month, with fi nal completion by mid-July of next year, the DOT reports.

The second project in Asheboro includes safety improvements on an eight-mile section of U.S. 220 from south of N.C. 134 and U.S. 220 Business to north of West Presnell/Park Drive.

The work includes bring-ing the highway up to mini-mum interstate standards to be used for Interstate 73/74 traffi c.

A $24.2 million contract was awarded to the Sharpe Brothers Division of Ve-cellio & Grogan Inc. of Greensboro. The work is scheduled to begin later this month, with final com-pletion date by November 2012.

The bids received on the 14 statewide projects came in 9.1 percent, or about $7.7 million, less than DOT estimates, the agency re-ports.

According to the Fed-eral Highway Adminis-tration, every $1 million spent on transportation creates 30 jobs, and ac-cording to the construc-tion industry, every dollar invested in trans-portation generates $6 in economic impact.

Duke scientist uncovers fi sh, mercury linkRALEIGH (AP) – Sci-

entists at Duke Uni-versity have fi gured out why mercury pos-es a bigger hazard in seafood caught in the ocean than fi sh caught in fresh water.

The researchers told The News & Observer of Raleigh that the chloride in ocean salt sticks to the more dan-gerous form of mer-cury, known as methyl mercury, in a way that makes it harder for sunlight to break down the metal.

The scientists found it took at least 10 times longer to break down the mercury in salt water than in fresh water.

One of the study’s authors Heileen Hsu-Kim says more re-search needs to be done on how mercury cycles through the ma-rine environment.

WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Offi cials in one North Carolina city are offering to let their employees work four days a week as long as it doesn’t affect city ser-vices.

The Winston-Salem Journal reports that Winston-Salem offi cials made the offer to city employees after pass-ing a budget that offers no raises for the second straight year. The em-ployees would work 10-hour days.

Department heads and City Manager Lee Garrity will have to approve the request to work four days, and

city services will haveto stay the same.

Workers in Win-ston-Salem’s streetsdivision have alreadyagreed to the four-dayschedule.

What you don’t need, another may be able to use D ear Abby: On

May 13, “Diana in Lakewood, Calif.,”

asked you how to reuse or donate little jew-elry boxes. You offered some great tips, but you should have let folks know about two ter-rifi c resources for giving away or recycling odd things.

Freecycle.org is an online network where people can give away or fi nd free stuff in their local neighborhood. It is a great way to recycle items – like the jewelry boxes – to a local thrift store, a crafter or a teacher.

Earth911.com is also an amazing directory of local reuse and recy-cling options. I work at a thrift store for home improvements. (Instead of donating clothing or furniture, some people give us lumber, kitchen cabinets, hardware, etc.) Most people don’t know that stores like ours ex-ist. Reusing items from your neighbors wastes no energy and builds a sense of community. Abby, thanks for touch-ing on this important topic. – Ruthie M. in Edmonston, Md.

Dear Ruthie: Many readers wrote to remind me that one man’s trash is another man’s trea-sure, and we all must do whatever it takes to keep items out of landfi lls. Read on:

Dear Abby: I am an activity director at a small long-term-care facility and would love

to receive those jew-elry boxes. People don’t real-ize how grateful we are to provide a home for their extra greeting cards, craft supplies,

fabric scraps, wrapping paper, games, cards – the list goes on and on. Diana should consider contacting her local nursing home activity director and put those boxes to good use.

Budgets are tight. With every cut our state and federal governments make to nursing homes, activity directors are al-ways happy to give new life to no-longer-needed items. – The Activity Goddess, Buhl, Idaho

Dear Abby: I have another suggestion for Diana in Lakewood. Quit buying so much stuff!

Recycling is only a partial solution to a wasteful lifestyle. Mil-lions of tons of plastic, no matter how many times it is recycled, end up in our oceans, where Texas- sized fl otillas of plastic goo will outlast us all. The key is to generate less in the fi rst place.

When considering a purchase, consider all four “R’s”: Reduce, Re-use, Recycle and Repair. In this case, the option to “Reduce” should be ob-served by either buying less jewelry, or asking the vendors to quit over-

packaging the stuff. – Dr. James Hayes-bohanan, Professor of Environ-mental Geography

Dear Abby: Diana should donate the boxes to Goodwill, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, preschools, Girl Scouts and Sunday schools – not the landfi ll! – Elsie K., Oak Ridge, Tenn.

Dear Abby: Perfectly good items should never be tossed into a landfi ll. There is always someone who can use whatever it is as long as it’s in good condition (and sometimes even when it’s not). It should be the responsibility of the con-sumer to fi nd that some-one. While it may not be a legal responsibility, it is the right thing to do. – Rosie W. in Denver

Dear Abby: Most malls and department stores open gift- wrap-ping booths at holiday time. They are usually set up to raise funds for a specifi c charity. Diana can contact mall man-agement and fi nd out if it plans to have one and if so, what agency will be operating it. Then she can contact the agency and arrange to donate all of the boxes. Believe me, small boxes are always needed. – Lynn in Cam-bridge, Ontario DEAR ABBY is written by Abi-gail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A North Carolina man said gunmen fi red dozens of bullets into his Rock-ingham County house because they were angry at his older son over a re-cent stabbing incident.

Michael Stephen Smith said he fi rst thought peo-ple were shooting fi re-works outside his home near Mayodan around 3 a.m. Sunday. Then he realized the danger.

“They were aiming to kill somebody. This wasn’t a random, drive-by shooting. They un-loaded some high-pow-ered stuff into my house,” Smith told The News & Record of Greensboro.

Rockingham County deputies said at least two shooters fi red about 30 rounds into Smith’s home on U.S. 220 Business. Smith said it was more like 50 or 60 bullets. “It’s amazing that no one was shot,” sheriff’s spokes-man Dean Venable said “The house was riddled.”

Smith thinks the shoot-ers were angry with his older son and wanted to send him a message. Leon Michael Smith faces an assault charge for a stab-bing in Stokes County.

“We had been told by a bunch of people they were going to retaliate,” Michael Smith said.

Smith was sleep-ing with his 7-year-old granddaughter in a back bedroom and his wife was asleep in the living room when the shooting started.

Congregation holds outdoor

service after fi reMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

NEWS SERVICE

SHOALS – About 50 souls gathered Sunday under a canopy of trees with the burned hulk of their church in the background and only the sound of birds to ac-company their hymns.

Pastor Joseph Fulk, who was to have cel-ebrated his fi rst service at Shoals United Meth-odist Church, instead preached in front of a makeshift altar that held some of the rem-nants rescued from the church – a candlestick and gold cross.

The church was all but destroyed in a fi re that started in the attic early Saturday and ap-peared to be accidental.

“I know today’s a little bit unusual,” he said, as he began the service. “We’re a little bruised, a little sore, a little shaken. We may even feel a little beaten.”

He reminded the congregation, many of whom had come from neighboring churches to grieve with the church’s members, that although they had lost the build-ing, they hadn’t lost the memories that went with it. He asked them to

share special memoriesof the church.

Pam Stowers calledthe congregation “a tinynation,” where peoplesupported, loved andprayed for each other.

“The building wasa place where I couldcome and feel refreshedwhen I left,” she said.

Throughout the morn-ing, church membersspoke of the strength andfellowship of the commu-nity. Though the churchstarted in the late 1800sand many of its membershave roots sunk deep inthe area, it was the typeof church that welcomednewcomers with gifts ofbaskets and pies.

Greg Sawyers,the chairman of thechurch’s administra-tive board, asked mem-bers if they wanted tocarry on.

“Absolutely,” the con-gregation shouted.

Several area churchesand a community grouphad offered Shoals mem-bers the use of theirbuildings for worship.

“What an amazingproblem to have, thatwe have so many op-tions,” Sawyers said.

Church membersvoted to accept an of-fer from Shoals BaptistChurch.

Pernicious anemia can be treated with pills

D ear Dr. Donohue: Could vitamin B-12 in skin patches

be provided for all of us with pernicious anemia so that we wouldn’t have to suffer from monthly injections? – B.W.

No skin patch has been devised for delivery of vi-tamin B-12. However, it is acceptable to take B-12 by mouth. The vitamin dose given is very high, since only small amounts are absorbed by people with pernicious anemia. Oral treatment is common in Europe. There also are under-the-tongue prepa-rations and nasal sprays of B-12 that can be used. Shots are favored here because they are the most certain way of delivering enough of the vitamin.

People not familiar with the PA story need some background infor-mation.

Pernicious anemia results from a defi ciency of vitamin B-12. For absorption into the blood from the digestive tract, vitamin B-12 requires a substance made by the stomach called intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor takes the vitamin by the hand and leads it across the intestinal lining and into the blood so that it gets to the bone marrow, where it’s needed for the production of red blood cells. B-12 has another important function: It keeps nerves healthy.

People with PA have an immune system that attacks the stomach cells

producing intrinsic factor. Without it, too little B-12 is absorbed. In time, symptoms of anemia arise: fatigue and breath-lessness

with little activity. The tongue might turn red and become sensitive. Nerve problems, like hav-ing peculiar sensations or numbness, or muscle weakness or trouble walking, appear.

Restoration of the body’s supply of B-12 reverses the anemia symptoms. It also re-verses nerve damage if treatment is begun early. Shots of the vitamin do away with the need for intrinsic factor.

Treatment is a lifelong proposition.

Dear Dr. Donohue: In a recent column on colon cancer, you note that if no problems are found on colonoscopy, a repeat isn’t needed for 10 years. What is the length of time it takes for a polyp to become a cancer? I have heard of people coming down with it a year or so after a clean colonoscopy. You also mentioned that it’s OK to stop colonosco-pies at age 75 if the previ-ous ones have been nor-mal. What about recent published fi ndings that age 75 is the peak year for

colon cancer? – H.H.

It takes fi ve years for a polyp to become a sig-nifi cant problem. That’s a general rule. Always, there are exceptions to such rules.

The latest information on the peak ages for coloncancer that I can fi nd are the ages between 60 and 70. That comes from The Pathological Basis of Disease, 8th edition, 2010,by Kumar V., et al.

Some other interesting polyp facts are that only aminority of them become cancerous; 30 percent of middle-aged people have one or more; and 50 per-cent of older people have a polyp or polyps.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a dry nose that bleeds occasionally. I apply A+D ointment to my nostrils every few weeks to counteract the dryness. It has petrola-tum as an ingredient. Do I have to worry about doing this? The enclosed articles are my concern. – G.W.

The enclosed articles warn about getting oil-based products like pet-rolatum into the lungs. Large gobs of petroleum jelly or similar products pose a theoretical risk of this happening. But a light coat isn’t likely to make its way into the lungs. I’m sure you can continue doing as you have been doing without putting yourself in any danger.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” has risen to an $82.5 million haul over the long Fourth of July weekend and lifted its total to $175.3 million af-ter just six days, accord-ing to studio estimates Monday.

The vampire romance from Summit Entertain-ment fi nished at No. 1 over the four-day week-end, despite a steep drop in its daily take after a $68.5 million start last Wednesday, the second biggest opening day ever.

“Movies that pop this big on opening day, it’s virtually impossible to keep up that breakneck pace,” said Paul Derga-rabedian, box-offi ce ana-

lyst for Hollywood.com. “We’ve seen this with a lot of movies where the fi rst day is their biggest day, then it kind of settles into a more normal pat-tern.”

Coming in second for

the weekend with $53.2 million from Friday to Monday was Para-mount’s action fantasy “The Last Airbender,” pushing its total to $70.5 million since opening Thursday. The movie did

strong business despite terrible reviews.

Disney’s Pixar Anima-tion blockbuster “Toy Story 3,” which had been No. 1 the two previous weekends, slipped to third-place with $42.2 mil-

lion, raising its domestic total to $301.1 million.

“Toy Story 3” shot past last year’s “Up” at $293 million to become the No. 2 hit for Pixar, behind only “Finding Nemo” at $339.7 million.

SAN DIEGO (AP) – For-mer Miss California Carrie Prejean is now Mrs. Kyle Boller, after marrying the Oakland Raiders quarter-back at a San Diego resort.

The San Diego Union Tri-bune says the dethroned beau-ty queen and the 29-year-old

quarterback tied the knot late Friday in a private ceremony at the Grand Del Mar.

Among the guests were Gate-way computer founder Ted Waitt, Green Bay Packers quar-terback Aaron Rodgers and for-mer Philadelphia Eagles quar-terback Matt Nordgren.

The 23-year-old bride made headlines last year after mak-ing controversial remarks dur-ing the Miss USA pageant that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Prejean eventually surrendered her crown after pageant offi cials accused her of missing events.

Andy Warhol Polaroid photo of Howdy Doody, 1980.

Warhol’s world

Exhibit of artist’s Polaroid pictures on display at UNCG museum

BY JIMMY TOMLINENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

G REENSBORO – A new ex-hibit at Weatherspoon Art Museum offers a unique

glimpse into the world of Andy Warhol.

“Big Shots: Andy Warhol Pola-roids” features some 300 Polaroid photographs – as well as 70 gela-tin silver black-and-white prints – made by the late Warhol during his heyday as a leader in the pop art movement.

The exhibit, which will con-tinue through Sept. 19, explores Warhol’s infatuation with Pola-roids.

“He was infatuated with fi lm in general, but Polaroids were kind of his immediate gratifi cation,” says Elaine Gustafson, Weather-spoon’s curator of collections.

“He took between 10 and a hun-dred shots of people. He was very much into multiple images. We see that in his painting style, too – think of his ‘Campbell’s Soup Cans’ – where he would replicate one image over and over again. He really wanted to have the best shot, so he’d look at all of the photos with the sitter, and then have the sitter pick the one he or she thought was the best repre-sentation. He really wanted to show everyone in a very favor-able light, whether it was a true depiction or not.”

The Polaroids and snapshots feature mostly celebrities and socialites that Warhol hung out with in New York. The celebri-ties include the likes of Carly Simon, Truman Capote, Ryan O’Neal, Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, Diane Lane and even Howdy Doody.

“(Warhol) always carried a camera,” Gustafson says. “The Polaroids were taken in his studio, but the black-and-whites were taken while he was walking

around New York or at a party – they were just kind of a documen-tation of his everyday life. People who were around him got so used to it, they were not even aware they were being photographed, so you really see them in their true self. These are snapshots of people being themselves.”

The exhibition represents a collaboration of Weatherspoon and two other university art museums – the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University and Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. According to Gustafson, each of the museums received a gift of Warhol photo-graphs from the Andy Warhol Foundation, and they decided to combine their works for exhibi-tion purposes.

“We pooled the collection so we could have a more compre-hensive collection representative of Warhol,” she says. “It’s just a richer show because we were able to collaborate.”


WANT TO GO?----“Big Shots: Andy Warhol Po-laroids” is on exhibit through Sept. 19 at Weatherspoon Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, located at the corner of Spring Garden and Tate streets.

Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thurs-day; and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Admission is free.For more information, including details of the Warhol & Friends Summer Film and Music Series, call (336) 334-5770 or visit http://weatherspoon.uncg.edu.

Yesterday’s Puzzle SolvedTuesday, July 6, 2010CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Matthew

O’Leary, 23; 50 Cent, 35; Sylvester Stallone, 64; Ned Beatty, 73

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: There is plenty to be thankful for and to look forward to. You will dis-cover what you no longer require in your life and what will enhance what you already have. The time to eliminate and replace is upon you and should be embraced with open arms. Take on responsibilities and you will prove how valuable you can be. Your numbers are 5, 11, 16, 23, 32, 36, 41

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Romance is look-ing good and social engagements will prove benefi -cial both professionally and personally. Talk about your plans and you will attract a lot of interest as well as suggestions that can make things easier and speed up the process. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have to fi n-ish what you start. Don’t let uncertainty slow you down. Figure out what you need to do and start the ball rolling. Wandering aimlessly will cause stress and worry. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Added responsibili-ties due to promises you made will be taxing but, once completed, you will realize the value in living up to your word. Don’t spend money because some-one is trying to get you to buy into a scheme or a purchase you don’t need. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t rely on a big talker promising to do great things for you. If you don’t do the work yourself, it won’t be done to your liking. You’ll fi nd out quickly who you can count on. ★★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotions will be diffi cult to control. Think outside the box and you can avoid some of the personal issues you aren’t prepared to deal with just yet. An offer geared toward physical enhancement isn’t likely to be as rewarding as you expect. ★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get out and mingle, lend a helping hand or get involved in a project or a learning or travel experience that will bring you knowledge, friendships and a chance to promote your own ideas and plans. You can gain respect from people with something to offer for your future goals. ★★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Not everyone is look-ing out for your best interests. Problems at home and within partnerships can be expected if you have made promises you haven’t kept or you keep changing your mind. A creative approach to help-ing others will be required. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Love lessons will turn into a harsh reality if you have neglected some-one who needs your attention. You may be engrossed in something you enjoy doing or a job that has con-sumed every waking minute but that is no excuse for letting your personal life fall apart. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be looking for adventure, a challenge or a love connec-tion but, once found, you will realize that nothing is as you expected it to be. Don’t play games of chance with your future. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Personal and fi nancial matters should be on your mind. Renova-tions or a residential move will help you feel more secure and comfortable about your future. Your re-lationships with friends, family or your lover will be enhanced by the choices you make. ★★★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid anyone trying to pick a fi ght with you or drag you into a personal matter that doesn’t concern you. Arguing will be a waste of time but compromise will help you avoid trouble and win respect. ★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sharing with new and old acquaintances will help you get a better perspective on something you are trying to devel-op. A strong partnership can form with someone you bring back into your life. Mend bad feelings. ★★★★

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

South’s free rebid of two clubs wouldn’t have oc-curred to me. South had only 11 high-card points, and a player needs an ex-cuse to bid freely when passing to partner is an option. But many players have abandoned the “free bid” concept and show good suits regardless of a hand’s strength.

A diamond lead would have beaten fi ve clubs, but West led a spade. South took dummy’s ace and let the jack of trumps ride. West took the king and hastily led the king of diamonds.

South won, drew trumps and tried a heart fi nesse with the queen. East won, and the de-fense cashed a diamond for down one.

ACE OF TRUMPSSouth survived his bid-

ding – the contract was good – but not his ques-tionable play. At Trick Two he can combine his chances by taking the ace of trumps. When East-West play low, South leads a heart to the queen.

East wins and shifts to a diamond, but South wins, takes the ace of hearts and ruffs a heart. He ruffs a spade in dummy and pitches his diamond loser on a good heart.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S A H A Q 9 8 6

2 D 5 4 C J 10 6 3. You open one heart, your partner bids one spade, you rebid two hearts and he tries 2NT. What do you say?

ANSWER: Notrump doesn’t look right. Your rebid of two hearts al-ready promised a six-card suit, hence try three clubs, showing minimum values and 6-4 pattern. Partner has options in-cluding a pass, a return to three hearts, a jump to four hearts and a raise to four clubs, but he mustn’t bid 3NT.

WHO’S NEWS---

As Andy Reid visited with injured soldiers in a hospital at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles couldn’t get over how ea-ger they were to return to action.

“You see guys in there, some of them missing limbs and some pretty beat up,” Reid said. “These guys couldn’t wait to go back out there, if they could, and fi ght to protect our country. It’s quite an amazing thing.”

Reid, John Fox of the Carolina Panthers, Marvin Lewis of the Cin-cinnati Bengals and Brad Chil-dress of the Min-nesota Vikings met with hun-dreds of soldiers at the air fi eld north of Kabul over the Fourth of July weekend.

The NFL-USO coaches tour is in its second year. Last year, fi ve coaches visited troops in Iraq.

Reid and his fellow coaches spent 2 1⁄2 days at Bagram, and a few days in Germany meeting with the troops, many just itching to talk a little football.

“The Eagles fans, they wanted know why Dono-van is a Redskin,” Reid said.

HIT AND RUN---

T he votes are in, and it appears baseball fans did a good job choosing the starting lineups for the American and National

League All-Star rosters.Considering voters’ track record in recent

elections – political, athletic or otherwise – it’s nice to be able to say that with a straight face.

I expect another entertaining Midsummer Classic when the Major League stars line up in Anaheim on July 13.

Too bad one bad decision by MLB offi cials

puts a damper on the festivities.For no legitimate reason that I can come

up with, the winning league in the All-Star Game will earn home-fi eld advantage in the World Series again this year.

The idea that the outcome of an exhibi-tion game in mid-July determines who gets home-fi eld advantage in the Fall Classic is preposterous.

Granted, there is no perfect way to award home-fi eld advantage in the World Series.

Here is my two cents on the subject.

I think the 162-game regular season is a better measuring stick for home-fi eld advantage in the World Series, Why not let the World Series participant with the better regular-season record enjoy the home-fi eld edge?

Just a thought.But rather than dwell on one negative,

I prefer to focus on all the positives as the stars align in Anaheim.

Caraway gears for Rusty Harpe MemorialBY GREER SMITH

ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

ASHEBORO – A sluggish econo-my isn’t helping Chip Harpe in his effort to make the most out of his pet project.

Harpe is the driving force be-hind the Rusty Harpe Memorial – one of Caraway Speedway’s big-gest Late Model Stock races of the year – which will have its fourth running on Wednesday night.

Why is Harpe so passionate about the 200-lap event? It hon-ors his son, a former Late Model racer at caraway who was killed in a farming accident in January of 2007.

Harpe has sponsorship from the Daggett and Shuler law fi rm, which helps pay a $27,000 purse

that includes a $10,000 fi rst prize. The large purse has in the past helped attract some of the top drivers in the area.

To help cover some of the costs, the track and Harpe were also selling lap sponsorships for $100 apiece, which included two tick-ets to the race and two dinners. In an attempt to entice people to buy sponsorships, the track also decided to make lap sponsors eligible for a raffl e. If all 200 spon-sorships had been sold, the fi rst prize would have been $5,000, If 100 had been sold, the prize would have been $2,000.

Even with the raffl e, sponsor-ships have been hard to sell in the sluggish economy.

Heading into last weekend, less than 50 had been sold. If the num-

ber remains less than 100, the payoff will be $10 times the num-ber of sponsorships sold.

“Things are just tough for ev-erybody,” Harpe said. “I do this to keep the memory of Rusty alive. If we can get through this year and have a fi fth one, I’m go-ing to put my full effort into it to make it the best race possible.”

HiToms unveil chainsaw artBY STEVE HANF

ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

THOMASVILLE – The HiToms always are on the lookout for guys who are good with wood.

Randy Everett fi ts the bill, but not with a bat. Tonight at Finch Field, a fi gure who stands just shy of 6-feet tall and weighs a mod-est 100 pounds will be introduced during the HiToms’ game against Asheboro.

“The more I look at him, he’s looking like a real guy,” Everett said Monday morning from his home in Colfax, where he was applying the fi nishing touches to his creation made out of white pine. “He’s looking pretty cool.”

For the past eight years, Everett has worked as a chainsaw sculptor, providing pieces of art and entering competitions all over the country.

His showing at the Thomasville Tourism/ECHO Chainsaw Sculpting Invitational in May led to this latest work being presented this evening on Thomasville Chamber of Commerce Night at Finch.

Thomasville Tourism Director Mark Scott said in a release that his department had a desire to fi nancially compensate Everett for helping make the May contest a successful contest. Scott also wanted to show his appre-

ciation to the city of Thomasville for its help in hosting what is hoped to become an annual event.

When Scott approached Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver about accepting a carving from Everett, Craver wanted to be sure the fi gure would be enjoyed by a large number of people and also serve as a remind-er of the chainsaw contest. FInch Field imme-diately came to mind, setting in motion the creation of the baseball player.

“I am excited to see this new addition,” HiToms President Greg Suire said. “We will wheel him out on the fi eld between innings and unveil him for all to see.”

Everett said he’s sculpted a few baseball players before, but this one is the most de-

tailed, a little bigger than the others, and painted. The 53-year-old said designing this baseball player has given him inspiration for a contest later in the week in Georgia: an At-lanta Braves fi gure.

Wood-Chipper Jones, perhaps? Or maybe Jason Heywood?

When asked what the most challenging as-pect of creating art with a chainsaw might be, Everett didn’t hesitate: It’s got nothing to do with the design or getting the fi gure just right.

“The whole deal is safety. We preach and practice safety all the time,” Everett said. “You don’t want that chainsaw – or some of these other power tools – to hit you.”

The newest HiTom certainly fi gures to be a hit. Offi cials haven’t decided where the carv-ing will be permanently placed, but it will be somewhere that people can have photos or videos taken with the lifelike fi gure.

Assuming he sticks around, Scott quipped.

“I hope he brings luck to the HiToms,” the tourism director said. “If not, I guess they can bring the chainsaw back out and turn him into 15 or 20 good bats!”

WANT TO GO?----Tonight at Finch Field, a fi gure who stands just shy of 6-feet tall and weighs a mod-est 100 pounds will be introduced during the HiToms’ CPL game against Asheboro. The fi gure was made by chainsaw sculptor Randy Everett. First pitch will be shortly after 7 p.m.

FOOTBALL---Ex-Raider QB Russell

arrested on drug chargeMOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Former Oakland

Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell has been charged with possession of a controlled substance — codeine syrup — after being ar-rested at his home in Alabama on Monday, authorities said.

The 24-year-old former LSU star and the No. 1 draft choice in 2007 was arrested as part of an undercover narcotics investigation, said Mobile County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Lori Myles. She would not say what led to his arrest. She said he did not have a prescription for the codeine.

Russell, who graduated from high school in Mobile, was booked into the city jail and released soon afterward on $2,500 bond, on-line records show.

The Raiders released Russell, considered one of the NFL’s biggest draft busts, in May after he won only seven of his 25 starts and was benched. He completed just 52.1 per-cent of his passes in his career with 18 touch-downs, 23 interceptions, 15 lost fumbles and a passer rating of 65.2.

Oakland paid Russell about $36.4 million through the 2009 season. Since the start of the common draft in 1967, only one other No. 1 pick was released this quickly in his NFL career. Indianapolis cut 1992 top pick Steve Emtman after three seasons, but that was more because of injuries than production.

Russell and his agent did not immediately return calls for comment.

U.S. Under 17 team routs China, 113-73HAMBURG, Germany

(AP) – James McAdoo, of Norfolk, Va., went 13-for-14 from the fi eld and scored 26 points to lead the United States to a 113-73 victory over China Monday in the U17 World Championship.

Brad Beal, of St. Louis, made fi ve 3-pointers in the

fi rst 15 minutes and fi n-ished with 20 points for the U.S. (3-0), which clinched a berth in the medal round quarterfi nals. China fell to 0-3. The U.S. closes pre-liminary round play with games against Egypt (0-3) today and against Serbia (1-2) on Wednesday.

LeBron remains mum on decisionAKRON, Ohio (AP) – A point-

ed fi nger, smile, chuckle and head shake. That was all.

If LeBron James has made up his mind, he’s not saying so.

The world must wait.The NBA’s most wanted man

offered no clues about his high-ly anticipated free agent deci-sion on Monday after making an unexpected appearance – and getting in a few full-court hoop games with good friend Chris Paul – at his Nike skills acad-emy at the University of Akron.

After working out for two hours and then icing both his knees and right elbow for an-other hour, James, wearing a white T-shirt and his familiar

New York Yankees cap, head-ed toward the door of Rhodes Arena.

On his way out, he was asked by The Associated Press if he had anything to say.

James pointed toward a re-porter in the balcony, smiled and shook his head in amuse-ment. He then drove away in a white Bentley, one of seven ve-hicles in a caravan that includ-ed Paul, manager Maverick Carter, business partner Rich Paul and security personnel.

Carter also politely declined comment to The AP.

James, who is considering offers from the Cleveland Cav-aliers, Chicago Bulls and at

least four other teams, was not expected to appear at the fi rst day of the camp featuring some of the nation’s top high school and college players. However, not only did James show up, he got in a spirited workout that included shooting drills and scrimmages.

James guarded Duke’s Kyle Singler and Dayton’s Chris Wright during the 5-on-5 runs that virtually stopped everyone in the gym. Looking even more fi t than usual, James had a few spectacular moves and threw a lob pass to Christian Eyenga, Cleveland’s fi rst-round draft pick in 2009, for a jaw-dropping alley-oop dunk.

If the pressure of a decision that has several franchises and a few cities on hold, James didn’t show it. He joked around with Paul, former Cavs team-mate Damon Jones and Cleve-land’s Jawad Williams, now a restricted free agent. James also signed a sneaker tossed down to him by a youngster, who after getting it back, walked out in his socks so he wouldn’t mess up the auto-graph.

James is not expected to make his big announcement until the three-day camp ends on Wednes-day, one day before players can offi cially sign new contracts. He is scheduled to return to the

camp for work this morning.The Cavaliers and Bulls are

considered the frontrunnersto land James, the 25-year-oldmegastar who has spent hisfi rst seven seasons playing inCleveland, which can offer himroughly $30 million more thanany other team.

He’s the biggest domino, buttwo others have fallen.

On Sunday, Joe Johnsonagreed to a six-year contractwith Atlanta and the New YorkKnicks scored big by gettinga fi ve-year, $100 million dealwith free agent forward AmareStoudemire, who has alreadybeen recruiting James to joinhim in the Big Apple.

HiToms fall 7-4 at Forest CityENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

FOREST CITY – The Thomasville HiToms entered Monday night’s Coast-al Plain League game at Forest City looking for their fi rst victory in the sec-

ond half of the season. When the night ended, the HiToms were still looking.

Forest City used a decisive seventh in-ning to rally for a 7-4 victory. The Owls improved to 4-3 for the second half. The HiToms dropped to 0-4.

Justin Poovey got the win in relief. He worked three innings with three hits and two strikeouts. Chase Boruff earned the save. Jonny Hoffman took the loss in relief for the HiToms.

Alex Yarbrough fi nished 2-for-4 with

a triple, single, RBI and run scored forthe HiToms. Teammate Tyler Fredrickwent 2-for-4 with a walk.

The HiToms play host to Asheborotonight at Finch Field. First pitch isscheduled for 7 p.m.

Halladay goes the distance again, beats BravesTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA – Roy Halladay pitched his major league-best seventh complete game this season, Greg Dobbs hit a two-run homer and the Philadel-phia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Monday night.

Halladay (10-7) allowed fi ve hits and struck out seven to record his second straight complete game. The All-Star right-hander outdueled Derek Lowe (9-7) and needed just 93 pitches to fi nish.

Chipper Jones homered for the NL East-leading Braves.

The two-time NL champion Phillies, who lost three of four to lowly Pitts-burgh over the weekend, need to win this three-game series to avoid losing more ground in the division. They’re 17-23 in the last 40 games and trail At-lanta by four games.

Lowe allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings, striking out six. The sinkerballer gave up only two fl youts.

Lowe was cruising until Jayson Werth hit a one-out single in the sixth. Dobbs hit the next pitch into the seats in right-center for his second homer and a 2-1 lead.

Dobbs used to be a top pinch-hitter for Philadelphia, but was outrighted to Tri-ple-A last month because he’s struggled badly in that role. He was brought up when Chase Utley and Placido Polanco went on the disabled list last week and is making the most of his opportunity now that he’s getting more at-bats. Dobbs is 6 for 18 in the last four games.

Juan Castro, who came in as a defen-sive replacement for Dobbs at third base in the eighth, gave the Phillies a 3-1 lead with a two-out, RBI single. Castro de-livered after missing a suicide squeeze and Raul Ibanez was tagged out.

Jones gave the Braves a 1-0 lead in the fi rst when he hit the fi rst pitch he saw from Halladay into the seats in left-cen-ter for his sixth homer.

Halladay hasn’t received much run

support from a previously high-pow-ered offense that’s been inconsistent this season. The Phillies have scored a total of 12 runs in Halladay’s seven losses.

CUBS 9, DIAMONDBACKS 4PHOENIX – Starlin Castro and Geo-

vany Soto drove in two runs each, Tom Gorzelanny worked around six walks in fi ve innings and the Chicago Cubs struck out 12 in a 9-4 win over the still-struggling Arizona Diamondbacks.

Chicago roughed up Ian Kennedy (3-7) for four runs the fi rst two innings and answered every Arizona rally to win for just the sixth time in 17 games.

GIANTS 6, BREWERS 1MILWAUKEE – Brewers shortstop

Alcides Escobar committed an error in the seventh inning that allowed the tie-breaking run to score and Aubrey Huff followed with a two-run single, leading the slumping San Francisco Giants to a

6-1 victory over Milwaukee on Monday.Buster Posey added a solo homer in

the eighth for San Francisco, whichwon for the second time in 10 games.

TIGERS 12, ORIOLES 9DETROIT – Brandon Inge drove in

four runs, Carlos Guillen knocked inthree and the Detroit Tigers outscoredthe Baltimore Orioles early, then heldon for a 12-9 victory Monday.

Starters Kevin Millwood of Baltimoreand rookie Andy Oliver both were goneby the end of the second inning. The Ti-gers led 8-7 after the third and managedto keep the lead the rest of the way.

WHITE SOX 9, ANGELS 2CHICAGO – Carlos Quentin hit two

late home runs and Gavin Floyd pitchedseven solid innings to lead the ChicagoWhite Sox over the Los Angeles Angels9-2 Monday night.

Dayan Viciedo and Alexei Ramirezalso homered for the White Sox.

Tyler Farrar of the United States grimaces in pain after crashing during the second stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 201 kilometers (125 miles) with start in Brussels and fi nish in Spa, Belgium, on Monday.

Crashes abound during rainy stage

SPA, Belgium (AP) – Lance Armstrong bloodied his thigh in a tumble to the as-phalt Monday, one of dozens of Tour de France riders ensnared in widespread nerve-racking crashes Monday during a rainy second stage won by new race leader Sylvain Chavanel of France .

Armstrong and defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain fell on a slippery descent from the mid-grade Stockeu Pass toward the end of the 125-mile run from Brussels to Spa. Both completed the stage and were OK, their teams said.

Chavanel took the yellow jersey from Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara. The Frenchman fi nished in 4 hours, 40 min-utes, 48 seconds, winning a Tour stage for the second time in his career. Arm-strong is in fi fth place overall, 3:19 be-hind.

With so many riders downed in crash-es, organizers said they briefl y consid-ered canceling the stage altogether. But under the race rules, the spills were too spread out to warrant a cancellation.

Armstrong returned to the Ra-dioShack team bus with his leg and hip scraped, an elbow aching, his team out-fi t torn. Many riders suspect a mixture of motor oil and water on the roads was to blame.

“You had people everywhere. It was surreal. When I got back on my bike ... I saw crash, after crash, after crash,” Armstrong said, noting riders laid out on the ground. “It was like war.”

Some riders said at least half the pack of almost 200 riders had fallen. A medi-cal report listed 23 as at least slightly injured. Among them, sprint special-ists Tyler Farrar of the United States and Robbie McEwen of Australia were taken to a hospital for treatment.

“There was no way to stay on the bike,” Armstrong said. “There was something on the road ... I was scared. I think everybody was scared.”

RadioShack manager Johan Bruyneel said the elbow Armstrong hurt was not the same one the seven-time Tour cham-pion injured during a crash in the Tour of California in May.

Armstrong dropped a notch to fi fth place and is 3 minutes, 19 seconds back. Bruyneel said Armstrong’s teammates Andreas Kloeden and Levi Leipheimer also fell.

“Riding downhill was almost like ice skating,” Bruyneel said. “Almost half of the peloton crashed today.”

Equally unlucky was 2009 Tour run-ner-up Andy Schleck. The Luxembourg rider appeared to injure his elbows in another spill. He returned to the race and rejoined the pack.

Chavanel, who rides for Quick Step, joined a small early breakaway group and then gradually drew away. Can-cellara, like Armstrong and Contador,

trailed by 3:56 in the main pack. Arm-strong placed 54th and Contador was 81st.

Chavanel had started the stage in 87th place overall, 59 seconds behind Cancel-lara. He was choked with emotion after-ward.

“Pure happiness,” he said.Cancellara now trails Chavanel by

2:57, with Germany’s Tony Martin in third place, 3:07 back. Britain’s David Millar is fourth, 3:17 back, followed by Armstrong. Contador is seventh, 3:24 behind.

After two straight stages with multi-ple crashes, Today’s route takes riders on what had already been billed as the most treacherous in the fi rst week one – a 132-mile ride from Wanze Arenberg to Porte du Hainaut, featuring seven bumpy cobblestone patches.

The Tour ends July 25 in Paris.

Federer at No. 3 for 1st time since November ’03WIMBLEDON, Eng-

land (AP) – Roger Fe-derer fell to No. 3 in the ATP rankings Monday, the fi rst time since No-vember 2003 he’s been that low.

The 16-time Grand Slam champion’s quar-terfi nal loss at Wimble-don, following seven con-secutive appearances in the fi nal, dropped him one spot. He trails No. 1 Rafael Nadal and new No. 2 Novak Djokovic.

Federer was No. 1 ear-lier this season, but he was overtaken in the rankings by Nadal on June 7, after the French Open. Nadal won his

fi fth title at Roland Gar-ros, while Federer lost in the quarterfi nals there, too. That left Federer one week shy of tying Pete Sampras’ career re-cord of 286 total weeks at No. 1.

Nadal’s second title at Wimbledon, a year after missing the tournament because of bad knees, in-creased his lead atop the rankings. Runner-up To-mas Berdych, who upset Federer at the All Eng-land Club, climbed from 13th to a career-high No. 8 by reaching his fi rst Grand Slam fi nal.

Andy Roddick, who lost the 2009 Wimble-

don title match to six-time champion Federer,dropped two spots toNo. 9 after losing in thefourth round. The manwho beat him, Yen-hsunLu of Taiwan, leaped 40spots to No. 42.

Like Nadal, Wimble-don women’s cham-pion Serena Williamsremains at No. 1. Buther older sister, Venus,dropped from No. 2 toNo. 4. Jelena Jankovicmoved to second, withCaroline Wozniackithird.

Vera Zvonareva’s runto her fi rst major fi nalallowed her to rise fromNo. 21 to No. 9.

All eyes on Tiger at Irish golf celebrity pro-am

ADARE, Ireland (AP) – Tiger Woods will headline an Irish charity tourna-ment this week, though it could be his last with the No. 1 ranking.

Woods is preparing for next week’s British Open at St. Andrews and could lose the top ranking for the fi rst time in fi ve years before then.

Rival Phil Mickelson, ranked No. 2, missed a chance at the U.S. Open to move up the rankings. He’ll get an-other opportunity at the PGA-ranked Scottish Open this weekend at Loch Lomond. Woods is skipping that event.

Instead Woods will play in the J.P. McManus Invitational Pro-Am, a two-day event in Adare that started Mon-day.

Woods fl ew overnight by private jet to make his afternoon tee time in Ire-land.

Every fi ve years, Irish horse racing billionaire McManus brings together mixed groups of pros, Irish business leaders and Hollywood celebrities for an event expected to raise more than $37 million for dozens of Irish chari-ties.

This year’s celebrity golfers include actors Michael Douglas, Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grant, Aidan Quinn, Kyle MacLachlan and Peter Gallagh-er; English Premier League football coaches Harry Redknapp and Martin O’Neill; and Irish boy band Westlife.

Ireland’s Padraig Harrington, whowon the last McManus trophy in 2005,said he expected Woods to reboundquickly at St. Andrews, where Woodswon two of his three British Opens in2000 and 2005.

“There’s no doubt, any time Tigerhits form at all, he’s comfortably thefavorite to win any of the majors,”said Harrington, who also was teeingoff Monday at Adare. “St. Andrewssets up very well for him.”

Like Woods, Harrington’s skippingthe Scottish Open but plans to headstraight to St. Andrews by Friday forat least two weekend practice runs.

“He spins the ball very well,” Har-rington said of Woods. “He’s the No.1 player at getting the ball to fi nishwhere it lands. St. Andrews requiresthat so much because of the fi rmnessof the greens. So I wouldn’t write himoff, that’s for sure.”

Harrington, who has struggled sincewinning three majors in 2007-08, saidSt. Andrews would become “a lottery”if winds gust throughout the four-day event July 15-18. “The greens arefi rmer than any we’ll play for the restof the year, and the pin positions areexceptionally tight, so you’ve got tohit the ball into the greens very high,”he said. “Obviously if it’s very windy,that’s not so easy to go. It becomesguesswork if you have to throw theball up in the air into a strong wind.”

South American surprise Uruguay takes on DutchCAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) –

The World Cup turned sour for South America in the quarterfi nals. Only one team from the continent advanced – Uruguay, the least likely of all to make the fi nal four.

Yet here the Celeste are, ready to play the Netherlands today for a spot in the World Cup fi nal. The last na-tion to make the 32-team fi eld, needing a playoff against Costa Rica to get in, Uruguay is alive and well in South Af-rica.

“Uruguay is a strong side and we will have to be very concentrated,” Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk said. “They are fi ghters, survivors.”

Indeed. From that two-game playoff with Costa Rica to winning their fi rst-round group and not allowing a goal, the Uruguayans have made an impres-sive showing. They punctuated it with wins over South Korea 2-1 in the sec-ond round and Ghana 4-2 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in the quarter-fi nals.

Tough as they have been, the Uru-guayans needed the “hand of Suarez” to stay in the tournament.

Striker Luis Suarez blocked a Gha-na shot with his arm at the goal line in the fi nal seconds of extra time on Fri-day night. He drew a red card and is suspended for the semifi nal, but Asa-moah Gyan hit the crossbar with the ensuing penalty kick.

Reprieved, Uruguay won the shoot-out, and Suarez was hailed as a hero back home.

But he’s also been accused by some of cheating. That annoys coach Os-car Tabarez. “It’s a shame that people are speculating that,” he said. “It (the handball) was a natural reaction). The player didn’t know that they were go-ing to miss the penalty.”

The young forward, who has three goals in the tournament, said it was “complicated” to be ejected from a World Cup game. “But the way in which I was sent off – truth is, it was worth it,” he said.

Truth is, every player in the tourna-

ment would have done the same thingto keep his team from certain elimi-nation. But without Suarez, the lastSouth American team standing afterBrazil, Argentina and Paraguay wentout in the quarterfi nals is a long shotto win its third title and fi rst since1950.

TOUR DE FRANCE AT A GLANCE---SPA, Belgium (AP) – A brief look at

Monday’s second stage of the Tour de France:

Stage: A 124.9-mile ride from Brus-sels to Spa that followed some parts of the Walloon Arrow and Liege-Bas-togne-Liege one-day classics.

Winner: Sylvain Chavanel of France. Chavanel earned a solo win on a day that featured several high-profi le rid-ers crashing in a slippery downhill. Rid-ers involved in the wrecks included sev-en-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong, defending champion Alberto Contador and the Schleck brothers. They all es-caped serious injuries.

Yellow jersey: Chavanel, who now leads previous front-runner Fabian Can-cellara of Switzerland by 2 minutes and 57 seconds. Armstrong dropped to fi fth, 3:19 back, and Contador is seventh.

Quote of the Day: “It was dangerous all day. In the downhill of the Stockeu, it was something I had never seen be-fore. It was like ice skating. Nobody could stay on his bike. There was peo-ple everywhere. I’ve seen guys off their bikes and sill crashing. It was like ice.” – Johan Bruyneel, Armstrong’s sports director at RadioShack.

Next stage: Today’s third stage is a 132.36-mile ride from Wanze, Bel-gium, to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut in France. The stage features four cobble-stone sections in the last 18.64 miles and more crashes are expected. In to-tal, there will be 8.2 miles of cobble-stones. Expect some of the main con-tenders to lose time.

TODAY’S SEMIFINAL---Capsule for today’s semifi nal match

at the World Cup (FIFA rankings in pa-rentheses):NETHERLANDS (4) VS. URUGUAY (16),

CAPE TOWN, 2:30 P.M.The Netherlands made the semi-

fi nals with one of its biggest wins, a 2-1 comeback victory over Brazil, the tournament favorite and fi ve-time world champion. Uruguay’s quarterfi -nal win came in a penalty kick shoot-out over Ghana after a 1-1 draw.

Netherlands: The Dutch got two goals from Wesley Sneijder, one of their biggest stars in the tournament, to upset the Brazilians. Robin van Persie has been cleared to play after injuring his arm, but the Netherlands will be without right back Gregory van der Wiel and defensive midfi eld-er Nigel de Jong. Both are suspended after getting two yellow cards.

Uruguay: The Celeste were saved by the hand of Suarez in the quarter-fi nals. Striker Luis Suarez blocked a Ghana shot on the goal line with his arm in the fi nal seconds of extra time. He drew a red card, but the ensuing penalty kick was missed and Uruguay won the shootout 4-2. Suarez is sus-pended for this match.

Notable Fact: Both these countries know their way around the World Cup fi nal, but neither has been there in a long time. Uruguay won the fi rst World Cup in 1930 and again in 1950. The Netherlands lost in 1974 to West Germany and 1978 to Argentina, both games on the home turf of the winner.

BERLIN (AP) – Sales of Mercedes-Benz cars were up 13.2 percent in the year to June as strong demand for the premium brand in China and the United States helped drive growth, parent company Daimler AG said Monday.

Mercedes-Benz sold 113,300 cars worldwide last month, making it the best June performance in its history, Daimler said.

The premium brand’s sales in China were up 177 percent last month to 13,700 cars, U.S. sales were up 20.5

percent to 18,300, and salesin Japan gained 26.5 per-cent compared with Junelast year to reach 3,400.

GREENSBORO – You’d think with all the fuss over America’s depen-dence on foreign oil and the mess the BP spill is making in the Gulf of Mexico, the nation would be doing everything pos-sible to support alterna-tive ways of fueling our cars and trucks.

That’s certainly what local businessman Gabe Neeriemer thought. But his trust that federal offi -

cials would follow that line of logic soon might cost him his fortune along with two years of hard work.

“I don’t want to be a failure,” Neeriemer said, sitting behind his desk at Patriot Biodiesel on North Chimney Rock Road. “But I’ve talked to friends who are busi-ness people and they say, ‘Look, it’s not you that failed. It’s Congress, gov-ernment offi cials and the community that failed.”’

Neeriemer is staring at the possible end of the bio-

fuel business he and several partners started in Febru-ary 2008 to make the alterna-tive fuel from used vegetable oil, collected primarily from area restaurants.

There’s nothing wrong with his product; it burns cleaner than regular diesel. What’s out of whack is the dollar-a-gallon tax break that biodiesel blenders such as Patriot were getting from the federal government as an incentive to make their product competitive with more common petroleum-based diesel.

As happens periodically to many tax breaks, the one for biodiesel expired at the end of December. The subsidy is not contro-versial, but Congress failed to act.

Most recently, it was part of the jobs bill that also in-cluded an extension for thousands of unemployed workers whose benefi ts are running out. The bill was stymied in the U.S. Senate by partisan wrangling un-related to biodiesel.

Neeriemer watched the bill closely, and when

it failed, he knew one of two things was likely in the cards for his compa-ny: either shutting down temporarily in hopes the subsidy will be revived soon or closing for good and selling off all assets.

He hasn’t decided which course is best, but he knows crunch time is approaching: “Our op-tions are limited because the industry is dead.”

Neeriemer is not alone as a biodiesel maker fi nd-ing it diffi cult to stay open, said Anne Tazewell, man-

ager of the alternative fu-els program for the N.C.Solar Center at N.C. State.

“This is a huge issueacross the U.S. and acrossNorth Carolina,” saidTazewell, whose programsupports alternative en-ergy of all types.

Biodiesel makers alsoare struggling becausethe price of petroleum-based diesel has comeway down from its peakof nearly $4.50 a gallon acouple years back.

“So, it’s a double wham-my,” she said.

Triad biodiesel company faces tough times

ATHENS, Greece (AP)– Debt-hobbled Greecemay see a slightly milderthan expected recessionthis year and aims to is-sue bonds again on inter-national markets in 2011,the fi nance minister saidMonday.

George Papaconstanti-nou said efforts to slash thegaping budget defi cit from13.6 in 2009 to 8.1 percent ofgross domestic product in2010 remain on track.

“We believe we will at-tain and perhaps exceedthe target of 8.1 percent atthe end of 2010,” Papacon-stantinou said. Greece iscommitted to bringing thedefi cit to under 3 percent ofannual output in 2014.

Papaconstantinou saida below-target increase inrevenues should be offsetin part by sales and tobac-co tax increases, as well asproperty tax payments.

Greece narrowly avoid-ed defaulting on its loansin May, after being pledgedeuro110 billion in bailoutloans from the EuropeanUnion and InternationalMonetary Fund.

In return, the govern-ment is slashing spend-ing and pushing throughsweeping pension andlabor reforms – angeringlabor unions, which areplanning another generalstrike Thursday.

Papaconstantinou saidinitial forecasts of the re-cession-bound economyshrinking by 4 percent ofGDP this year now appear“excessively pessimistic.”

“The drop was 2.5 per-cent in the fi rst quarter,and our fi rst indicationsfor the second quartershow the fi gure at around3 percent,” he said. “Basedon that, and knowing thatthere may be a worsen-ing in the third quarteras many of the (austerity)measures kick in, we arein a position to believe thatthe year will end somewhatbetter.”

The government expectsthe economy to start ex-panding again in 2012.

Greece upbeat as crisis

BERLIN (AP) – Told they couldn’t watch the World Cup on the job, Italian auto workers went on strike – conveniently, a half hour before game time. German companies set up of-fi ce viewing areas to keep em-ployees from defecting on game days.

And Brazil? Brazil basically shuts down when its team plays, with businesses and schools closed and elective surgery put off so people can be in front of a TV.

The soccer tournament is the world’s most watched sporting event, and the fact that it comes around only once every four years is probably fortunate for anyone trying to get some work done.

One study suggests the Ger-man economy, Europe’s larg-est, loses more than $8 billion in productivity, about 0.27 percent of gross domestic product, dur-ing the monthlong tournament. Surveys in Britain predict out-put losses there of $1.5 billion to $2.3 billion.

And that’s just two of the 214

countries and territories where the 2006 World Cup drew the cumulative viewership of 26 bil-lion people. That’s a lot of eyes not on the job.

Some workplaces – particu-

larly government ones – are strictly watching that employ-ees aren’t rooting when they should be working. Italy’s Re-nato Brunetta, minister for public administration, even warned government workers ahead of the tournament: “Fun is one thing, work is another.”

Many other bosses seem only

too happy to allow the World Cup into the workplace – per-haps because they share their subordinates’ football obses-sion. In the Netherlands, whose team knocked Brazil out in the quarterfi nals, the entire coun-try’s quitting time was unoffi -cially moved forward to 1 p.m. on Friday so fans could watch the game.

Adam Gardner, a 31-year-old custodian at Britain’s Cam-bridge University, said his boss gave him permission to come in early and leave early to root for England – then headed out to watch the game himself.

“A lot of people did. The place was empty,” Gardner said.

German insurer Allianz SE set up viewing areas in its Munich offi ces for Germany’s match with Serbia and allowed all in-terested to watch it – as long as they punched out beforehand so they weren’t watching on com-pany time. About 10 percent – 1,100 workers – took the com-pany up on the offer.

“It is really motivating if em-ployees are allowed to watch the

World Cup during their work day at the company,” Allianz spokeswoman Vera Werner said. “Some of the managers also came along to watch the game and they saw it as a way to boost their co-workers’ team spirit.”

Researchers at Germany’s Ho-henheim University estimate that the average German will devote 15 minutes of work time daily to the World Cup through the tournament. That includes watching games, checking scores on the Internet and tak-ing part in offi ce betting pools.

The World Cup is not exclu-sively an economic drain. Econ-omists say it boosts consumer spending for things like fan par-aphernalia, party supplies and bigger ticket items like wide-screen televisions.

Britain’s Centre for Econom-ics and Business Research esti-mated that despite productivity losses, there will be a net $2.43 billion short-run boost to that country’s GDP in June and July thanks to increased consum-er expenditure and business spending on advertising.

WEATHER, NATION

Temperatures soar to near 100 in East

NEW YORK (AP) – The heat wasn’t going to keep Jerryll Freels inside on his vacation.

The 28-year-old made his way through Times Square on Monday, combating the hot weather with a wet white washcloth over his head and a water bottle in hand.

“It’s hot, but I know how to stay cool,” said Freels, visiting from Minneapolis.

A string of hot days were ex-pected this week, with tempera-tures en route to 100-plus degrees in some places. Temperatures reached into at least the 90s Mon-day from Maine to Texas, into the Southwest and Death Valley.

In the East, warm air is “sit-ting over the top of us, and it’s not really going to budge much for the next day or two,” said Brian Korty, a meteorologist with

the National Weather Service in Camp Springs, Md. He said after that, a system coming in off the Atlantic Ocean would bring in cooler temperatures.

Monday was a day off for many to mark Sunday’s Independence Day holiday. The extended week-end aided utilities by lowering demand for power, said Lissette Santana, a spokeswoman for PPL Electric Utilities in Allentown, Pa.

For others, though, there was no getting away from the heat.

Richard Willis, 52, was one of a few dozen homeless men in Franklin Square, a small park in downtown Washington. He spent his day drinking water and stay-ing in the shade.

“That’s all you can do, really,” said Willis, who wore jeans and a long-sleeve shirt and sat under a

tall tree. “I’ve been through manysummers. I’m experienced.”

The long weekend had morepeople out seeking relief. FiveConnecticut state parks had tostop admitting people becausethey had reached capacity.

Tar balls from Gulf oil spill

turn up in TexasTEXAS CITY, Texas

(AP) – A Texas offi cial said Monday that tar balls from the Gulf oil spill were found on a pair of state beaches, becom-ing the fi rst known evi-dence that gushing crude from the Deepwater Hori-zon well has reached all the Gulf states.

The amount of tar balls is tiny in comparison to what has coated beaches so far in the hardest-hit parts of the Gulf coast in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

About fi ve gallons of tar balls were found Sat-urday on the Bolivar Peninsula, northeast of Galveston, said Capt. Marcus Woodring, the Coast Guard commander for the Houston/Galves-ton sector. Another two gallons were found Sun-day on the peninsula and Galveston Island.

Woodring said the con-sistency of the tar balls indicates it’s possible they could have been

spread to Texas water by ships that have worked out in the spill.

Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski said he be-lieved the tar balls were a fl uke, rather than a sign of what’s to come. “This is good news,” he said. “The water looks good. We’re cautiously optimis-tic this is an anomaly.”

TMT: MORE TESTING NEEDED FOR SKIMMER

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Choppy seas have tem-porarily foiled attempts to see if a giant oil skim-mer can be a silver bullet for Gulf cleanup efforts.

Bob Grantham, spokes-man for Taiwanese ship-ping fi rm TMT, says the company’s vessel, dubbed “A Whale,” will need fur-ther testing off the coast of Louisiana.

Grantham said in an e-mail Monday that condi-tions in the Gulf over the weekend were too choppy to get defi nitive answers on the vessel’s capabil-ity.
