Some get early jump to avoid

weekend crowds

BY PAM HAYNESENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – For some shoppers, there were a lot of reasons to fl ock to the stores on Friday.

Taking advantage of the beginning of the state’s three-day sales tax holiday was one of them. Beating the crowds that retailers expect to see to-day, usually the busiest of the three days, was an-other perk.

“I took half a day off of work for this and so we could beat the crowds,” said Janie Blackwell, who shopped for clothes with

Complaints lead to loss of club’s ABC permitsBY PAUL B. JOHNSON

ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – State offi cials suspended the alcoholic bever-age permits of a southwest High Point nightclub after a range of complaints about violent inci-dents and disturbances in and around the establishment.

The N.C. Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission issued an immediate, summary suspen-sion of permits for the Cristal Nite Club at 509 Ennis St. near the intersection of W. Ward Ave. It’s the fi rst time in two years that ABC offi cials issued a sum-mary suspension against a per-mit holder in High Point.

ABC offi cials said Friday that they pulled the establishment’s permits at the request of the High Point Police Department because the club posed threats to the pub-lic.

In addition to a shooting and reported robbery in the immedi-ate vicinity of the club this sum-mer, the establishment in the

past year and a half has been the site of police responses for fi ghts and public disturbances, ABC re-ports.

“Neighbors have expressed fear for themselves and the lives of their children,” said ABC Chair-man Jon Williams of Raleigh.

A representative with Cristal Nite Club couldn’t be reached for comment by The High Point

Enterprise Friday. High Point police Chief Jim Fealy said he hopes the license suspension will deter incidents that require po-lice response.

The police routinely contact ABC offi cials about alcoholic beverage violations at city estab-lishments, Fealy said.

“When it reaches a threshold, we petition the ABC board in Ra-

leigh about revoking a license,” the chief said.

The most serious reported in-cidents took place this summer related to Cristal Nite Club’s per-mit suspension.

A shooting near the club June 12 left a victim suffering injuries from 12 gunshot exit and entrance wounds, according to an affi davit from an alcoholic beverage inves-tigator for the High Point police.

“A bag of what is believed to be cocaine HCL was found on the ground near the shooting,” the affi davit from the offi cer states. The victim and shooting suspect were in the club the evening of the incident, the offi cer stated.

On July 24, a shooting and re-ported robbery took place on the club property, the offi cer testi-fi ed.

“... The victim, who was pis-tol-whipped, was so intoxicated that he was unable to properly communicate with High Point police,” the affi davit states.

ABCs report shows progress for local schools

BY DAVID NIVENSENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The latest ABCs of Public Education report shows a measure of success for several High Point-area schools.

As expected, all 10 low-perform-ing schools in the Guilford County district moved off the state’s low-performing list, but one school, Union Hill Elementary, was added. Local schools dropped from the list based on 2010 state test scores were Montlieu Elementary, Fairview Elementary, Oak Hill Elementary, Parkview Elementary and T. Wing-ate Andrews High School.

The district has the fewest low- performing schools since the 2003-04 school year, the last year it had none.

Overall, 91.4 percent of district schools made expected or high growth in student academic achieve-ment during the 2009-10 school year, up from 75.4 percent in 2008-09. With-

in the district, about 57 percent of schools made high growth, including the former 10 low-performers.

“The growth seen across our schools is directly related to the hard work of our teachers, principals and support staff,” Superintendent Mo Green said this week. “These results are even more significant given the great diversity of students we serve.”

To calculate the ABC scores, the state uses end-of-grade and end-of-course exam results and the federal Adequate Yearly Progress scores, which measure academic achieve-ment of student demographic groups to form the scores.

The average ABCs performance composite for GCS was up to 70.1 per-cent compared to 60 percent in 2008 and 66.5 percent in 2009. The exams also form the basis for determining success under the federal No Child Left Behind law.

“The results show that when we place high expectations on our stu-

dents, they will respond by making signifi cant improvements to their academic performance,” Green said. “We have much to celebrate with these results and much to look for-ward to with the new school year.”

Statewide, 88 percent of nearly 2,500 schools that were scored met academic growth goals for the 2009-

10 year, compared with 81 percent in 2008-09, partly because some students retook the tests. Fifty-seven percent of the schools statewide met all the federal testing standards this year compared to 71 percent a year ago, the report said.


PERFORMANCE–Statewide, nearly 40 percent of the public schools are in the top three tiers of performance.

Excellence: The number of Guilford County Schools achieving Honor Schools of Excellence or Schools of Excellence increased to 13, includ-ing Millis Road Elementary. Statewide, 8 percent of public schools were Honor Schools of Excellence, with 90 percent of students performing at or above grade level and making expected or high growth.

Distinction: GCS had an increase in the number of Schools of Distinction from 17 last year to 22, including Southwest Elementary, the Middle College at Guilford Technical Community College, Jamestown and Southwest Middle School. These schools had 80-89 percent of students score at or above grade level on EOGs and EOCs. Statewide, 37 percent of schools qualifi ed.

Low Performing: Union Hill Elementary. Statewide only 16 schools were designated compared with 75 a year ago. Schools where more than half of the students failed state tests and didn’t meet growth expecta-tions can get special assistance from the state.

Fake ad sends scavengers to woman’s homeCHICAGO (AP) – A

Chicago man is accused of taking family bicker-ing too far by allegedly posting a fake Craig-slist ad that said his sis-ter was giving away all her belongings.

Police say the ad trig-gered a rush of bargain

hunters to the Joliet, Ill., home of Paul Grachan’s sister, and that she re-ceived phone calls from people asking about her things.

A Will County judge last week issued a $3,000 warrant against Grachan on charges of

misdemeanor disorder-ly conduct. The ad was posted last August.

The 37-year-old Gra-chan says he had noth-ing to do with the ad. He says he has had a feud with his sister and that the two haven’t spoken in about a year.

Senate confi rms NC judge to federal appeals court

RALEIGH (AP) – A North Carolina judge nom-inated for promotion more than a decade ago has fi -nally been cleared to join the federal court one step below the U.S. Supreme Court.

Judge James Wynn Jr. was confi rmed by the U.S. Senate to a seat on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-peals.

The court in Richmond, Va., covers North Caroli-na, South Carolina, Mary-

land, Virginia and WestVirginia.

President Barack Obamanominated Wynn last fall.He was fi rst nominatedby President Bill Clintonin 1999 but was never con-fi rmed. Wynn currentlysits on the North CarolinaCourt of Appeals.

Wynn was nominated tothe federal appeals courtwith Charlotte Judge Al-bert Diaz. Diaz was notconfi rmed by the Senatewith Wynn late Thursday.

Report: NC psychiatric patients wait days for help

RALEIGH (AP) – Patients needing treatment at psychiatric hospitals are waiting for nearly three days on average in emergency rooms and cri-sis centers across North Carolina, ac-cording to a report released Friday.

The Wake County chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness analyzed fi gures from the state’s four public psychiatric hospitals during the fi rst six months of 2010.

The group found that 3,339 people were put on wait lists for admission to one of the state hospitals from Jan-uary through June, with 86 percent of those patients waiting in emergen-cy rooms or crisis centers in general admission hospitals.

“Hospital emergency departments are in a very diffi cult spot,” said Ann Akland, chairwoman of the Wake

County group’s advocacy division. “They don’t have the resources to treat these patients. Some of them don’t even have a psychiatrist on call.”

The average wait for patients need-ing psychiatric care was 2.6 days, compared to an average wait time of less than fi ve hours for all emergency room patients. Some psychiatric pa-tients waited much longer, including 212 who were in emergency rooms for seven days or more.

Ultimately, 912 patients went home from the emergency departments af-ter an average stay of 44 hours, either because their condition improved enough for discharge or because they simply got tired of waiting, the report says.

The result of the long wait times,

according to the report, is patients with mental illnesses are often sim-ply restrained, whether by Velcro or leather straps or medication, rather than being promptly treated.

The group says the problem lies with the state’s decision, starting in 2001, to reduce the number of beds in state hospitals available to psychi-atric patients. That reduction was supposed to be offset by a growth in community-based services like day programs, home visits from men-tal health professionals and group homes, which the Wake group says never materialized.

“Those were the good things that were supposed to come from reform, but there just aren’t enough resourc-es in the community to keep people out of the hospital,” Akland said.

Two men held in Triad holdup spreeMCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE

NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – Two Win-ston-Salem men were arrested this week in connection with a string of armed robberies and at-tempted robberies, and police said that more charges could come in the next few days.

Louie Lamonte Cozart, 35, of 9 Inverness St., and Christopher Antonio Kelly, 23, of 3065 Apollo Drive, were each charged with one count of robbery with a dan-gerous weapon and two counts of kidnapping.

Kelly is also facing charges in connection with a robbery in Kernersville and one in Greens-boro.

“Since so many robberies hap-pened in such a short period of time, in order for it to come this far, it has taken extraordinary teamwork,” said Capt. David Clayton of the Winston-Salem Police Department, who oversees the department’s criminal-inves-tigation division.

Ten armed robberies or attempt-ed robberies occurred in the city limits since July 28.

Police charged Cozart and Kelly in connection with a robbery at the T&G Express Food Mart on South Main Street on Monday.

According to police reports, two men armed with handguns en-tered the store and stole cash and wallets.

Cozart and Kelly have a his-

tory of criminal convictions, in-cluding robbery and drug-related charges.

They are being held with no bond allowed because of parole vi-olations, police said. Their court date has not been set.

Police said it wasn’t clear how many of the recent armed rob-beries were connected but that at least some likely are.

“We do think there are certain ones that are connected, but which ones is still too early to say,” Clay-ton said.

Kelly was also charged yester-day in a robbery at the Denny’s restaurant on South Main Street in Kernersville on July 21. A man fi red a handgun at a wall and de-manded money.

her 9-year-old daughter, Noel, at Sears in Oak Hol-low Mall on Friday. “I’m spending half of the day with my daughter before she goes back to school, and we’re saving mon-ey.”

Clothes, shoes and backpacks we’re on Blackwell’s list of items she planned to buy. Ac-cording to the North Carolina Department of Revenue, clothing, foot-wear or school supplies that cost $100 or less per item will be tax free through Sunday. Other items, such as computers less than $3,500, also are exempt from sales tax. North Carolina’s sales tax is 5.75 percent, and local taxes bring it to 7.75 percent in most counties in the state.

Retailers reported light crowds on Friday while preparing for a large rush today as most Guil-ford County students prepare to return to class on Aug. 25. The holiday has brought a signifi cant sales boost to some retail-ers in recent years. Ac-cording to the National Retail Federation’s Back-to-School survey, the av-erage family will spend $606.40 on back-to-school merchandise.

For shoppers like

Blackwell and Janet Har-rison, the crowds that thesales tax holiday draws tostores also can be viewedas a drawback.

“I just came to shop to-day, not because of the taxfree weekend,” said Har-rison while waiting withher granddaughter in acheck-out line at Sears.“To tell you the truth,because of the crowds,sometimes I think I’drather pay the sales tax.”

“I’m glad I came outtoday,” said RochelleJoyner of High Point,who shopped with herdaughter, Ashley, atKmart on Friday. “Lastyear it was real crowded(during the weekend). Iwas afraid to see whatit would look like in thestores, but it hasn’t beenbad. I’ll end up buying afew things today.”

Still, for others shop-pers, it’s all about thesavings.

“I’m just happy to savea little money this week-end,” said Laurie Over-man, a shopper in Sears.“I have one boy and onegirl. We save quite a bitduring tax free weekend.We buy supplies, clothesand sporting equipment.It defi nitely helps usout.”

Provincial police chief Gen. Agha Noor Kemtuz said the victims, who had been shot, were found next to three bullet-riddled four-wheeled drive ve-hicles in Kuran Wa Mun-

It was unclear what the group was doing in the forested area away from main routes through the province.

Kemtuz speculated that robbery could have been a motive in the killings.

Flash fl oods kill 103 in KashmirSRINAGAR, India

(AP) – A cloudburst fol-lowed by fl ash fl oods hit a Himalayan desert region in Indian-con-trolled Kashmir, send-ing rivers of mud down mountainsides and kill-ing at least 103 people Friday, offi cials said.

Nearly 2,000 foreign tourists were in the re-mote region of Ladakh, a popular destination for adventure sports enthusiasts, at the time, said a tourism depart-ment offi cial in Srina-gar. There were no im-mediate reports of any foreigners being killed or injured in the fl oods that started around mid-night, said the offi cial who spoke on condition

of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

An army spokesman said 100 foreign tour-ists, mostly Europeans, had been rescued.

At least 370 people were injured, as gush-ing waters swept away houses, cars and buses in a 60-square mile swath in and around Leh, the main town in Ladakh.

The thunderstorm fol-lowed by heavy down-pours triggered fl oods and mudslides in many places early Friday, burying houses and top-pling power and tele-communication towers, said state police chief Kuldeep Khoda.

In a Your View poll, the En-terprise asked when people’s preoccupation with race would be a thing of the past. A few days ago a patron wrote about Leonard Pitt’s article on Shirley Sherrod. It is obvious to me, being a per-son of color other than white, the racial undertones in her letter.

I was waiting to read the old familiar line that some of my best friends are “colored.” An old say-ing is walk a mile in my shoes to know what my walk is all about. In Your View, the patron spoke of the various organizations associated with being black and substituting white. He doesn’t take into consideration all the or-ganizations that are white, CBS, NBC, and I’m sure we can’t forget Fox News.

Since the election of President Obama, the underlying racial big-otry has risen to the top. Before it was subtle and kinda hidden, people tried to hide behind their smiles. Now, they fi ll threatened because a black man was elected president. This is not the end of “life as we know it” but the begin-ning of a more diverse America.

The old guard is dying out, as in the wilderness in the book of Exo-dus, and a new generation is com-ing, one that doesn’t think that the color of one’s skin defi nes his character. God has no respect of color of person.

I would like to say I appreciate Nancy Thomas (Your View, Aug. 2) for her stand against alcohol.

MADD called me two times in six months for support. I told them that if they started a cam-paign against the advertisement of alcohol in sports, I would.

Alcohol is glorifi ed in adver-tisements.

We all know there are a lot of deaths because of alcohol. Some by cars, guns and others.

Families are broken up; food

is taken off the table.It is not a disease.If alcoholism is a disease, why

• People will never get past eth-nic issues until they open their eyes and understand, respect, appreciate and then enjoy other cultures instead of being bitter about current race relations.

• Whites must understand what African-Americans have experi-enced over hundreds of years and how that affects them to this day. African-Americans must not be suspicious of everything whites say.

YOUR VIEW---

T his is my fi nal column.I am grateful to The High Point En-

terprise for the opportunity of writing here for these few years, especially to Vince Wheeler and Tom Blount, who have had to endure the occasional slings and arrows of those who have, from time to time, demand-ed my head on a plate. Thank you, Vince and Tom.

I’ve given this a lot of thought, and the fact is I spend too much time investing my energy in an effort that has proven to be less than effective in the grand scheme of things.

I am grateful to each and every one of you who’ve taken the time to read my column, and I thank you all, regardless of your political/religious/sexual/intellectual/ra-cial/physical/whatever stripe.

I hope in some small way I’ve contributed something of worth to you and to our com-munity by bringing to light subjects, ideas, or notions that made you think about things in ways you might not have done so before-hand.

Though not perfect, I’ve always strived to be as accurate as possible and to base my opinions and statements upon all available empirical evidence. I have never intention-ally deceived you or tried to manipulate you in any deceptive manner (and I take pride in that) – unlike so many commentators and opinion writers you read here and else-where who do nothing but deceive others in order to further their particular cause or agenda.

I have challenged you. I have infuriated you. And from time to time, I have touched you. That’s because I love you. Yes, I know, “Imagine that!” Well, yes. Imagine that. And it’s true. But sadly, and all too often, it is the anger, the frustration, the disgust, and the helplessness that you sometimes read and focused upon. But that’s not now, nor was it ever the point.

If I was angry, it’s because something or someone was being harmed in some way. If I was frustrated, it’s because no one was

listening, or no one was doing anything, or no one cared to bother to either listen or do anything about what was happening. If I was disgust-ed, it’s because the anger and frustration was becoming insurmountable and I hoped or prayed or wished that someone would see what was happening and take a stand when it was needed. If I felt helpless, it’s because I washelpless. What good is it to

be a mere witness to something and watchas some horror unfolds and not be able to act on it or do anything to stop it? Feeling helpless, I think, is one of the worst things one can experience in life; it is certainly one of the most painful for the compassionate among us.

Before I go, I’d like to say something about the BP oil disaster, the effects of natural oil, the accompanying gasses, and the dispersant CorExit: BP is LYING. The Obama administration is LYING. The EPA is LYING. The corporate news media is LY-ING. They’re all lying. We are all eventu-ally going to suffer, but those on the Gulf Coast and in the surrounding areas are at highest risk. If you have family there, GET THEM OUT NOW! Research the following: CorExit (note that it was banned in the UK), natural gasses and crude oil’s poisonous affects on humans.

Believe what you want, we’ve all been lied to. President Barack Obama: sell-out, liar, corporatist, war monger (and when the fi rst person dies from health effects result-ing from being exposed to and poisoned by CorExit, add accomplice to BP for murder).

May reason, solidarity, peace (and love) prevail.

Goodbye.

The Herald-Sun, Durham, July 30

T he last few years have provided plenty of opportunities for whiplash as our anger lurches from one end of the spectrum

to the other – and now we have another fi ne example of damned-if-you-do-sued-if-you-don’t outrage: the question of the surplus funds that Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina keeps in reserve.

The nonprofi t Consumers Union, a respected watchdog agency that publishes Consumer Re-ports magazine, put out a study questioning why 10 Blue Cross affi liates continue to raise premiums while they have fat reserves.

The study, which is online at http://tiny.cc/BCBSReserveStudy, raises good questions – but we dispute its implications.

First, the facts. As a non-profi t, BCBSNC does not have shareholders and it does not, strictly speak-ing, turn any profi t – but it does stockpile cash sur-pluses in its reserve fund.

These surpluses are sometimes the result of a period of low claims, which lets North Carolina’s in-surance giant stash premi-um payments into savings against hard times.

The surplus is also built when insurers stitch some

cushion into their premiums, and this is where Consumers Union has a real problem: BCBSNC has $1.4 billion in its reserve fund.

That is 911 percent more than the national standard suggested to cover risks. That fi gure – the RBC rating – is calculated by the Nation-al Association of Insurance Commissioners, based on an insurance company’s exposure to risk.

But is the RBC rating adequate? And is BCB-SNC saving for a rainy day or hoarding money it could use to reduce premiums?

On the whole, we agree with Consumers Union’s position that states should consider a maximum for reserve funds – but BCBSNC is not abusing its customers.

We do, however, agree that North Carolina needs to clarify the uses of reserves.

After all, we’re inches away from reforms that require the insurance company to accept high-risk patients and those with pre-existing conditions – and that could cost something.

BIBLE QUIZ---Group to fi ght vote clearing way for NYC mosqueNEW YORK (AP) – Plans for

an Islamic community center and mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks moved forward as a city panel opened the way for developers to tear down a building that was struck by airplane debris during the at-tack.

Even as the project’s backers celebrated the decision, a con-

servative advocacy group found-ed by the Rev. Pat Robertson announced it would challenge the panel’s vote in state court Wednesday.

Brett Joshpe, an attorney for the American Center for Law and Justice, said the group would fi le a petition alleging that the city’s Landmarks Pres-ervation Commission “acted

arbitrarily and abused its dis-cretion.”

The panel voted unanimously on Tuesday to deny landmark status to a building two blocks from the World Trade Center site that developers want to tear down and convert into an Islamic community center and mosque. The panel said the 152-year-old lower Manhattan build-

ing isn’t distinctive enough to be considered a landmark.

The decision drew praise from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who stepped before cameras on Gov-ernor’s Island with the Statue of Liberty as a backdrop shortly after the panel voted and called the mosque project a key test of Americans’ commitment to reli-gious freedom.

Taking risks is a necessary and unavoidable part of life. Every time we sit down to eat or take a ride in an automobile, we are taking risks. But, we minimize

those risks by smelling our food before we eat it and by driving safely and wearing our seat belts. While we cannot completely abolish risk from our lives, there are many simple and straightforward ways that we can minimize them. We all know, or should know, that the risks imposed by smoking and eating unhealthy foods are significant and far outweigh any benefit we receive from them. The rules for living a healthy, low-risk lifestyle are pretty simple and straightforward: Eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, avoid recreational drugs and overconsumption of alcohol, avoid unsafe sexual activities, and drive carefully. This may sound a lot like what your mother has been saying for years, and with good reason. Mothers know that life is inherently risky and they usually make every effort to safeguard their children. We should all remember that life is a precious gift, and our life is not ours to throw away on risky endeavors or frivolous pastimes.

Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Philokalia: Love of the beautiful or holyI n America, we are familiar enough

with two branches of Christianity: Catholicism and Protestantism.

Catholicism is a single church with one leader, the pope. (Tiny branches of Catholicism exist that do not acknowl-edge the pope.)

Protestantism involves all those churches which are not Catholic: Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals, on and on. (Tiny branches of Protestants exist who claim they are not Prot-estant. They claim that they do not trace their beginnings to the protest-ing movements against the Catholic Church in the 1500s; in some cases this might be true, for instance, the Mora-vians.) Yet there is a third branch that probably did not pop up when think-ing about different Christian groups: Orthodox Christians.

There is a reason for this: Orthodox Christians are mainly in areas in Eastern Europe and east of that. Those Americans who trace their lineage to this region form a smaller percentage than those from other areas of the world. So, the Orthodox Church in America has always been small, but its long history equals that of the Catholic Church,

both of whom trace their beginnings to Jesus.

And out of this long Orthodox history comes a unique spiritual writing, the Philokalia, which means

“love of the beautiful or holy.”While most Christian spiritual

classics consist of one book, the Philokalia is a collection of spiritual classics dating from the 400 to 1400, a thousand years of spiritual classics. Because of its breadth, the collection is contained in several books (One publisher I saw published the collec-tion in four books) with works from more than 20 authors.

Following is a quote from the Philokalia.

“Let us stand fi rm in the fear of God, rigorously practicing the virtues and not giving our conscience cause to stumble. In the fear of God let us keep our attention fi xed within ourselves, until our conscience achieves its freedom. Then there will be a union between it and us, and thereafter it

will be our guardian, showing us each thing that we must uproot. But if we do not obey our conscience, it will aban-don us and we shall fall into the hands of our enemies, who will never let us go. This is what our Lord taught us when He said: “Come to an agreement with your adversary quickly while you are with him in the road, lest he hand you over to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the offi cer and you are cast into prison” (Matthew 5:25). The conscience is called an “adversary” because it opposes us when we wish to carry out the desires of our fl esh; and if we do not listen to our conscience, it delivers us into the hands of our enemies.”

QUESTIONS/COMMENTS contact Mark at [email protected].

Would it be easier if I were an illegal alien?W hat do we mean

by being an alien? Who is

an alien? The dictionary used these words in the defi nition: foreigner, immigrant, illegal alien, outsider, noncitizen, refugee and stranger. The allegiance of an alien is usually pledged to another country.

The word illegal is defi ned as against the law, unlawful, prohib-ited, forbidden, criminal, illicit and banned.

I once lived in another country. I had to go to of-fi ces of that government in the United States to get permission to enter the country and then report to its leaders on arrival. It was necessary to carry, at all times, the proper documents that permit-ted me to live there and to have a special driver’s license. I had to produce that proof anytime I was asked for it.

Wednesday, July 28, I needed to get a blood test at the local hospital. I was not a stranger. An attrac-tive young lady asked for my full name, date of birth, and if there had been any changes since

my last visit.

To my surprise, I was asked to show my driver’s li-cense. For-tunately, the picture was much better than the one fi ve years ago. Then I had to produce

my insurance card. They had all those records. After my very mild ques-tioning of this procedure, I was informed that there was a new order now in place to protect me from those who might act il-legally.

I asked what they would have done if I were an illegal alien. Could they have been jailed or fi red for asking me for proof of my citizenship or permission to live in the United States?

My travels have taken me to all the major continents, the island na-tions and territories and

many countries where numerous languages are spoken. I had to have legal permission to enter those countries and usu-ally to leave one country and head to another. Not one country has ever offered to change its rules and laws to accommodate me. They have never suggested changing their language to fi t my brand of English.

Is there a way around it all? Apparently, if I could begin in Mexico with a suitcase full of danger-ous drugs, I could enter the country, have all my medical needs taken care of and if anybody – a sheriff, governor, policeman or military offi cer asks me any ques-

tion, they could be in big trouble with the courts and federal government. They would even provide me with a new set of rules that would meet all my needs and overlook what all my products might do to harm others.

Maybe I exaggerated a little in that last para-graph, but it is time we protect all our borders. If they are aliens, they belong somewhere else. If they are illegal, we do not need them. We have enough lawbreakers of our own.

As for immigrants, I am certainly in favor of our United States being open to them. We were all im-migrants at one time. We came from somewhere.

Native Americans were here when our ancestors arrived and deserve bet-ter treatment. At various points in our history, they were not treated as well as illegal aliens.

As a Christian, I know my citizenship is in heaven and all believers in Christ are just passing through this world to our eternal home. St. Paul wrote to the saints in Philippi, a city of Greece, “For our citizenship is in

heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:20).

But there are require-ments that must be met to become citizens of heaven. Illegal aliens really are not welcomed anywhere. There is, however, a way to arrive legally and gracefully.

Authorities arrest 3 linked to bank robberyENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Three people, including two from High Point, have been charged in connec-tion to an armed robbery at the NewBridge Bank in the Arcadia community of Davidson County.

According to a David-son County Sheriff’s Of-

fi ce press release, the department’s Breaking and Entering Task Force on Thursday attempted to stop a vehicle match-ing the description from a robbery that occurred on Wednesday at the bank. A vehicle pursuit ensued, ending with the vehicle wrecking on U.S. 52 North at the Davidson/Forsyth

county line. The suspect was apprehended after a short foot pursuit.

An investigation by the Davidson County Sheriff’s Offi ce linked Johnathan Krouse, 34, of 4491 Cooper Lake Road, Winston-Sa-lem, to the robbery. De-tectives also discovered that Krouse was aided by Jerry Gray Hutchens, 35,

and Tonya Marie Sutton, 22, both of 5186 High Point Road, High Point.

Krouse has been charged with felony common law robbery, felony speed to elude arrest and failure to heed light or siren and reck-less driving to endanger. He was placed in the Davidson County Jail under a $500,000 secured bond.

Sutton and Hutchens were charged with acces-sory after the fact to rob-bery.

Both were placed in the Davidson County Jail under a $250,000 secured bond.

Krouse, Sutton and Hutchens have a court date of Sept. 15 in Lexing-ton.

Nonprofi t hopes back-to-school festival refi lls coffersBY DARRICK IGNASIAK

ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Judy Younts lists several reasons why people should purchase tickets for the first Back to School Bluegrass & BBQ event for Communities In Schools of Thomasville.

“They can come out on a nice summer evening, enjoy a beautiful community park and help its community at

the same time,” said Younts, director of the nonprofit group. “When you help the community’s children, you help the world. You help it right here.”

The event is scheduled from 5-8 p.m. Aug. 21 at the new Thomasville PACE Com-munity Park, located beside the Thomasville Farmers

Market in downtown Thom-asville.

Tickets can be purchased for $15 each at the Huneycutt Administration Building at 400 Turner St. All proceeds will benefit CIS of Thomas-ville.

“With our children now, needs are way up,” Younts said. “People have started calling me back in July wanting supplies, which is indicative of the situation. I always get calls when it’s closer to school starting.

“Parents are already wor-

ried and that’s one less thing they can mark.”

The event will feature the music of Mitch Snow, Scott Huffman and Robert Sprye. Cook’s Barbeque of Lexing-ton is donating all of the food for the event.

“Everybody knows those names, and they think a lot of those folks,” Younts said of the entertainment. “We are going to be doing the bar-becue up at the farmers mar-ket. Everybody just bring their lawn chairs down here and just have a good time for youngins.”

Funds from the event will help CIS of Thomasville pur-chase school supplies, as well as help fund its numerous programs. One of the non-profit’s programs includes sending students home with bookbags of food from the weekend – a program that CIS of Thomasville has con-tinued through the summer.

“You’ve got children who are hungry,” Younts said. “You’ve got children who won’t start school with their own supplies. You’ve got to give them what they got to have to get them started on a good foot.”

TRIAD – Suspending sales tax for a weekend on back-to-school merchandise can be a controver-sial issue during a year when many states struggled to fi ll bud-get holes due to declining reve-nue – including North Carolina.

Luckily for shoppers, North Carolina didn’t hesitate to offer three days of tax-free shopping this year.

States like Georgia and Ver-mont held sales tax holidays in 2009 but didn’t enact the holidays this year in light of economic conditions. Shoppers on Friday said there’s nothing wrong with

offering a tax-free weekend this year, especially when it gives consumers a break.

“It’s one weekend out of all of the taxes we pay all year long,” said Rochelle Joyner, who shopped in Kmart. “We can at least have that one weekend.”

Joyner, of High Point, was shop-ping for back-to-school items with her daughter, Ashley. She said giv-ing a tax break to working class people may be of more benefi t to the state than taking it away.

“It shouldn’t be something any state takes away, in my opinion,” she said. “People like us, we’re at the bottom. We work and pay taxes all of the time. So it’s something we deserve.”

A tax break also can help fami-lies who are struggling in tough economic conditions, said Janie Blackwell, who shopped in Sears at Oak Hollow Mall on Friday. “I’m glad that they offer this because the people need it,” she said about the holiday. “(The re-cession) has been hard on every-one. I know the state needs mon-ey too, but we need a break.”

The sales tax holiday runs through Sunday and exempts certain items from sales tax, such as clothing, backpacks and computers.

Radical jailed for role in deadly heist dies at 62

NEW YORK (AP) – Mar-ilyn Buck, a violent leftist incarcerated 25 years for her role in some of the most notorious radical acts of the 1980s, includ-ing the bombing of the U.S. Capitol and a deadly Brink’s armored car heist, died Tuesday in Brook-lyn.

She was 62, and had been paroled July 15 from a federal prison hospi-tal in Fort Worth, Texas. Friends and supporters wrote that the cause of death was uterine cancer. Her death was confi rmed by federal probation and parole agencies.

Buck belonged to a clique of anti-war and civ-il rights activists who took up arms in the 1970s and became involved in a se-ries of politically motivat-ed attacks on government and corporate targets.

On Oct. 20, 1981, she was part of a group of Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army mem-bers who ambushed a Brink’s armored car car-rying $1.6 million at a mall in Nanuet, N.Y.

One guard was killed at the scene. A second

was badly wounded. Two police o f f i c e r s were sub-sequently killed after they pulled over one of

the getaway cars.Buck accidentally shot

herself in the leg during the gun battle with police, but escaped and remained free for another four years.

During that time she was involved in a series of bombings that included a 1983 nighttime blast at the Capitol that didn’t hurt anyone, but damaged Sen-ate offi ces. The bomb was purportedly placed to pro-test the U.S. invasion of Grenada.

After her 1985 capture in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., she was convicted in the Brink’s robbery and a string of other crimes.

Prosecutors said she helped Black Liberation Army leader Joanne Chesimard, who had been convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper, es-cape from prison and fl ee to Cuba in 1979.

Many train services canceled after Virginia derailment

WASHINGTON (AP) – Amtrak says sev-eral major services along the East Cwoast are canceled, affecting thousands of riders.

The railroad is still shut down south of Quantico, Va., on Fri-day after a CSX coal train derailed there a day earlier, blocking all tracks. Virginia Rail-way Express reports that fi ve train cars

fell and ripped up the tracks. Service may be restored today, but Am-trak spokesman Cliff Cole said he is unsure when CSX will complete the cleanup.

Major cancellations include Amtrak trains running between Wash-ington and Newport News, Va., and from New York to Miami, Charlotte, N.C., and Sa-vannah, Ga.

HENDERSONVILLE (AP) – A man who said he was shocked to learn he wasn’t the fa-ther of his girlfriend’s child appeared in Hen-dersonville District Court Friday after being charged in her death.

Jermaine Deprie Glover, 37, made a fi rst court appearance on charges of fi rst-degree murder, for which he could face the death penalty.

Glover is accused of killing Misty Lynn Carter, 21, whose burned body was found by a driver along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Buncombe County on Oct. 19. An autopsy found she died of blunt force trauma to the head, and that she was six weeks pregnant.

The Asheville Citi-zen-Times interviewed Glover after Carter’s body was found, and he told the newspaper he had learned he wasn’t the father of her child.

“It was a shocker,” he said at the time. “I don’t know what to think.”

Glover does not yet have an attorney, ac-cording to the Hen-derson County Court clerk’s offi ce. He is being held without bond in the Henderson County Detention Cen-ter.

Watermelon quenches thirst and infl ammation

O ne of the healthiest fruits of summer that can also quench your thirst on a

scorching North Carolina day is so packed full of vitamins and minerals, some folks say you should squeeze it into your medi-cine cabinet.

Watermelon with only 48 calo-ries per cup, no fat and vitamin B1, C, potassium, B6 and a heavy dose of the cartenoid lycopene should be a part of your diet at least once per week.

The National Watermelon Promotion Board says it this way, “Watermelon is the Lycopene Leader in fresh produce, having higher concentrations of lycopene than any other fresh fruit or veg-etable. In fact, fresh watermelon contains higher levels of lycopene than fresh tomatoes – a 2-cup serving of watermelon contains and average of 18.16 mg and one medium-sized tomato contains 4 mg.”

There are more than 1,200 variet-ies of watermelon ranging in size from less than a pound, to more than 200 pounds, with fl esh that is red, orange, yellow or white.

North Carolina is seventh in the U.S. in watermelon production with more than 6,700 acres grown. It ranks behind such states as California, Florida and Texas. Wa-termelon breeders have recently

developed smaller, high lycopene “ice-box” sized melons as family size has diminished and children have left the home nest. Sur-veys showed that empty nesters and families of four felt buying a large 20-pound. melon was wasteful and hard to store in the fridge

after cutting so sales decreased.But with the advent of small

1- to 2-pound cantaloupe-sized wa-termelons, sales have rebounded. Sprite variety melon is a good example of the newer varieties that fi t conveniently in the fridge. In fact, North Carolina is known for the Sprite variety. These North Carolina specialties are fi -nally being distributed all across the country. These diminutive melons are about the size of soft-balls and frequently weight less than a pound. They have a very fi rm and crisp applelike fl esh and the fl avor is something like a mixture between pear, apple and honeydew and is very sweet. Ripe melons have a mottled yellow skin, while unripe melons are a pale cream color.

This weekend, the watermelon is featured at the Piedmont Triad

Farmer’s Market in Colfax. In a news release, Agriculture Com-missioner Steve Troxler said, “Watermelons are a great sum-mer tradition for many families. The season is off to a good start and shoppers should fi nd plenty of North Carolina watermelons at farmers markets, roadside stands and grocery stores.”

If you want to go to Margari-taville, the Promotion Board provides this recipe:

Watermelon Coconut Margarita2 cups seeded watermelon chunks 2 ounces coconut fl avored rum ½ cup shredded coconut Juice from 1 fresh lime 1 cup ice

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a sugar rimmed glass.

Girl is held hostage when stepsister comes to stay

D ear Abby: When my stepsister, “Skye,” stays here

every other weekend, I not only have to share my room with her, but I’m also expected to spend all my time with her. We’re both 15. I have nothing against her, but she’s not someone I would choose as a friend.

It’s a small room for two people. It means I can’t have friends over every other weekend, and I’m also not allowed to spend the night at a friend’s or do anything with them without tak-ing her along. She’s usu-ally not invited, so I’m stuck staying home.

Abby, Skye is supposed to be here visiting her father (my stepfather), but he’s usually out play-ing golf or fi shing, and I have to be home with her and feel like I’m her baby sitter. – Fed Up in Eugene, Ore.

Dear Fed Up: I’m glad you asked. This is some-thing you should discuss with your mother. But please consider that as uncomfortable as this is for you, imagine how your stepsister must feel. Skye is stuck every other weekend in a small room with someone who resents her because she’d rather entertain her friends. Add to that the fact that Skye has a father who shows no interest in spending spe-

cial time with her, and would rather be with his buddies or alone amusing himself with his hobbies.

Frankly, I feel sorry for both

you and your stepsister. You’re being treated like her unpaid baby sitter, and she’s no baby. And she is being treated like a burden to everyone.

Dear Abby: I recently

received a wedding invitation from my cousin, who is marry-ing a woman with two children from a previous marriage. Photos of all of them were included in the invitation.

In addition to the typical registry items (housewares, kitchen gadgets, etc.), I was sur-prised to see a number of items for the children, including bedding, games, toys and cloth-ing. Is this typical for couples with children who marry, or is this an abuse of the registry? – Perplexed in Utah

Dear Perplexed: An abuse of the registry? When a couple is being married, they register for items they think they will need as they start

life together. Loving friends and family try to give them what they request. Your cousin and his bride-to-be may prefer new items for the children to yet another coffee pot, toaster or piece of china. If that offends you, give them something else. The reg-istry is a guideline; it’s not cast in stone.

Dear Abby: Once a

week I meet with three friends at a coffee shop/restaurant. We sit for at least an hour chatting and catching up about our families. I’m the only one in the group who orders anything, and it’s usually just a beverage. It makes me uncomfortable that no one else orders and we take up the table for an hour. This has gone on for a while, and I have not found a way to say anything. Can you help? – Friend in Sacramento

Dear Friend: If the owner or manager of the place objected to you tak-ing up the table, some-thing would have been said by now, or a notice would have been printed stating that customers must place a minimum order per person. How-ever, because you feel awkward being the only person having some-thing, tell your friends how you feel and that you’d feel more comfort-able if they ordered.

CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Char-lize Theron, 35; David Duchovny, 50; Wayne Knight, 55; Garrison Keillor, 68

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Money may be a chal-lenge if you are too generous. You need to draw the line, set up a tight budget and work hard. This year, much will depend on what and who you know, so networking will get you in the door and on your way to a better future. Patience and practicality will be your best friend. Your num-bers are 5, 17, 20, 29, 33, 38, 41

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do what needs to be done around home before you start getting complaints. It’s all about keeping things simple right now, in order to avoid arguments, setbacks or anything else that could go wrong. ★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Question what you spend your money on and avoid snap deci-sions that might trap you in a diffi cult situation. Use your head so you don’t underestimate a situ-ation that is playing on your emotions. Offer sug-gestions, not cash or time. ★★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t give in to someone trying to get you to put money into something about which you are unsure. Focus on things that will make you look and feel good. So-cializing and networking should be your prime goals. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t get all worked up over nothing. Your emotions will be diffi cult to control and your only out will be a hobby or an outside interest. Don’t try to sort out any romantic or personal problem until you feel calmer. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Plan your day to in-clude friends or your lover. Change is apparent and will take you in a new direction personally and physically. You can change the way you think, view life and move forward in the future. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Looking back will help you move forward. Your interaction with others will help you realize how lucky you are. Uncertainty surrounding fi nances will only sta-bilize if you avoid impulse purchases. A mis-take made in the past can be avoided this time. ★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will end up in a tight spot if you are critical or point the fi nger at someone. This is not the time to start a feud or to overdo, overspend or overreact. Negativity will only bring you poor results. ★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put your ideas, talent and projects out on display. The feedback you get will help you decide which way to go. Don’t overreact to criticism. What’s said will be valid and can help you. ★★★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get things done at home or work on a project that will help you get ahead professionally. Love is in the stars and taking time out to play will spark new ideas and boost your ego. Entertain at home. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t live in the past or dwell on things you cannot change. Stay away from people you have problems with and avoid any sort of awkward conversation that could leave you with extra responsibilities. Dis-cuss your intentions with the one you love. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider what you need to do to make your fi nancial situation better. Good fortune is heading in your direction and you should help it along in any way you can. Love is on the rise. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s time to dis-cuss your future plans and to get to the bottom of a situation that has left you in personal limbo. Get out and meet people or take up a new interest that leads to alternatives you hadn’t considered in the past. ★★★★★

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: Noth-ing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Cy the Cynic is skepti-cal of both women and politicians. You can imagine what he thinks of a combination thereof.

“I know why so few women go into politics,” the Cynic growls. “It’s too much trouble to put makeup on two faces.”

Cy was the victim of a two-faced play as today’s East, and declarer was none other than his nem-esis, Wendy, my club’s feminist. Against two spades, West led the ten of clubs, and dummy played low. Cy took his king and shifted to the jack of hearts.

SIX LOSERSWendy seemed to have

six losers: a club, two dia-monds and three trumps. But she took the ace of hearts and led the QUEEN of trumps. Cy fell for it: He covered with the king, and there was a mighty crash followed by a loud cackle from Wendy.

Personally, I think we need more women in ar-eas such as law, journal-ism and public service. But I know Cy should have played low on the queen of spades: Declarer wouldn’t have led the queen if she had A-x-x-x, so Cy had noth-ing to gain by covering.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S Q 7 6 3 H A

8 4 D K 10 2 C A J 3. You open one club, and your partner bids one heart. The opponents pass. What do you say?

ANSWER: It’s a simple situation, but expert opinion would vary. Some experts would feel compelled to bid one spade. Others would rath-er describe the general strength and pattern and would bid 1NT; to them, a bid of one spade would imply less balanced pat-tern, so longer clubs. De-cide with your partner what style to adopt.

Broken collarbone usually heals with little fuss

D ear Dr. Donohue: My 16-year-old son, an expert in

getting injured, broke his collarbone while playing baseball. He said it happened when he slid into second base. I can’t picture what happened, but this is the sort of thing that my son does. They took him to the hospital, which called me. I OK’d treatment. The doctor put his right arm in a sling. It’s the right collarbone that’s broken. Is this all he needs? How long will it take to heal? He wants to be ready for football sea-son. I would be happy to have him sit out football this year. – R.P.

The collarbone – the clavicle – has a number of important functions. It links the upper arms to the skeleton. It supports the shoulder and arm. It protects important underlying blood vessels and nerves. Since it has no padding, it’s a bone that’s vulnerable to breaking.

Even before doctors roamed the earth, people realized that a broken collarbone heals without having to do involved treatment. The majority of breaks occur to the middle portion of the bone. Falls are a big cause of such fractures. I can see how it happened to your son sliding into a base. He probably slid headfi rst with arms stretched out past his head.

Hundreds of ways have been described on how to

immobilize a broken collarbone. Two of the most com-mon meth-ods are a sling and a fi gure-of-eight brace. Patients prefer the sling. It provides

support and achieves good results. The fi gure-of-eight brace, however, permits use of the arm on the side of the fracture. Either of these treatments is all that is needed. The bone will heal.

He’ll have to wear the sling for two to six weeks. His doctor has to make the decision if he’s ready for football, the prime example of a con-tact sport. Sometimes, the sling can be removed in two weeks, but more often in six weeks. Three months is considered a minimum before consid-ering any sport where there’s the possibility of trauma to the bone.

I’ve made it sound like all collarbone fractures are easily treated. That’s not true. Some are compli-cated fractures requiring complicated treatment.

Dear Dr. Donohue: What causes sudden, sharp pain on my right side below the ribs when I run? It doesn’t hap-pen all the time, but it happens enough that it bothers me. Is it a sign of anything serious? Can you give me some sug-

gestions on how to get rid of it? – W.W.

Every runner or any-one who has only memo-ries of running knows what you’re talking about. That pain is a side stitch. It is not a sign of any serious problem.

The explanations for it are many. Some say it comes from a temporary drop in the blood fl ow to the diaphragm, the prin-cipal breathing muscle. Others say it comes from tugging on the dia-phragm by a stomach or intestine too full of food or fl uid. Many say they have no idea why it hap-pens. They are probably the correct experts.

If you eat or drink large amounts before running, don’t. Carry a water bottle with you so you can stay hydrated during your runs.

To end a side stitch, stop running until it leaves. Or you can exhaleforcefully when your left foot strikes the ground, if the pain is on the right side, and vice versa if it’s on the left. A more complicated procedure isto raise both arms above your head, stretch, take some deep breaths and then lower your arms while exhaling.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

I would have bet the house’s ranch dress-ing that Jeff Gordon owned the most career Cup victories at Watkins Glen

International.Good thing I didn’t, because that salad

would have been awfully dry.Tony Stewart boasts the most Cup tri-

umphs at The Glen, with fi ve. He took the checkers in 2002, ‘04, ‘05, ‘07 and ‘09. He ranks as a strong contender to make it six this weekend.

Qualifying is on tap today at 11 a.m.

(ESPN), with the race scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. (ESPN).

Gordon has four wins at The Glen. He captured three straight from 1997-99 and also prevailed in 2001. Gordon also holds the Cup record for most laps led at Watkins Glenn with 227.

Interestingly, Mark Martin sports the most top-5s (12) and top-10s (16) at Watkins Glen and shares the mark for most poles (three) with the legendary Dale Earnhardt. Martin took three straight wins at The Glen from ‘93-95, while

“The Intimidator” never won a Cup race here.Two other rock-solid road racers own mul-

tiple Cup victories at Watkins Glen. Rusty Wallace collected wins in 1987 and ‘89, while Ricky Rudd bagged victories in 1988 and ‘90.

The fi rst Cup race at Watkins Glen was held in 1986. The late Tim Richmond sped to the pole and backed it up with a victory.

It will be interesting to see what all those left and right turns yield in this year’s race.

HIT AND RUN---

Myers is catching onW il Myers exclaimed ear-

lier this week that he’d been looking forward to

his team’s visit to Winston-Sa-lem “forever.”

Granted, he only joined the Wilmington Blue Rocks on July 1 and thus had a mere month to

wait for the series at BB&T Ballpark, just up the road from his Thomas-ville home.

Forever, 30 days – so what’s a little youthful exuberance for the youngest player in the Advanced-A Carolina League?

“It feels awesome to play in front

of my friends and family, I’m staying at home, I got to sleep in my own bed,” Myers said prior to Tuesday’s game against the Dash. “I’m loving it.”

There’s not much to dislike when it comes to Myers’ experi-ence as a professional baseball player.

The Wesleyan Christian Academy standout got picked in the third round of last summer’s draft by the Kansas City Royals. Took a reported $2 million sign-ing bonus instead of heading to the South Carolina Gamecocks. Flew through the lower ladders of the Royals’ farm teams down the road in Burlington, at Idaho Falls, and earlier this year in Burlington, Iowa. Boasted the highest on-base percentage of any player in the Carolina League last month. Went 8-for-13 in the three games in Winston.

“It’s good to be 19 and in high-A,” said the affable Myers. “I can’t complain with that.”

Most players in the Carolina League are in their early- to mid-20s, but then again, Myers isn’t considered your run-of-the-mill prospect. Baseball America rated him as the third-best prospect in the Royals’ system this year and the No. 1 hitter for average.

Catching coaches have been with the Blue Rocks to work with Myers on a daily basis as he plays the position for his fi rst full season. When Myers took a hard foul ball off his foot last month, the Royals fl ew him to Kansas City to be examined by the team doctors.

“It makes you feel pretty important,” Myers said with a laugh.

The good times have been present for most of this fi rst year

of professional baseball. Myers’ only struggles came in April, when he batted .232 in Iowa.

The small town didn’t suit My-ers, who made no bones about his desire to earn a quick pro-motion to Delaware. He wasn’t waiting for good pitches to hit and was frustrated as the walks piled up.

“I thought it was going to be within two or three months, but it took me three and a half, four months to get up here,” Myers offered. “I thought I was going to do good, but that changes real quick. I tried to set those goals and as soon as I did I started do-ing bad. Forget it. I’m just going to go out there and play.”

Once Myers stopped worrying about a promotion, it came. He left Burlington with a .289 bat-ting average, 10 home runs and 45 RBIs in 68 games despite that slow start. Myers then positively terrorized Carolina League pitch-ing, and through the Winston series was batting a team-high .381 with an on-base percentage of .492 through 29 games.

As for the catching, well, it’s safe to say that the 6-foot-3, 200-pounder is catching on. Myers played the position on a part-time basis at Wesleyan and is just now truly learning the spot.

“Catching – that’s the only thing I work on here,” he said with a laugh. “They basically

leave me along hitting. A good-hitting catcher moves up kind of quick in the system. I’m looking to stay there. Hopefully my bat will take me to the big leagues, but we’ll have to see.”

Blue Rocks manager Brian Rupp said Myers has been a quick study during the diffi cult transition of learning to block balls in the dirt and improving his footwork.

“It’s light years from where it was only 2-3 weeks ago when we got him,” Rupp said. “It just speaks to the kid. He’s such a good athlete. For somebody to have the vision to say, ‘Hey, we can put this kid back there...’ He’s well on his way to being a good one.”

This time, though, Myers won’t be counting the days to his next promotion. He’s assum-ing he’ll start next year back in Wilmington, then perhaps reach Double-A Birmingham when the time is right.

This offseason – coming up in a matter of four weeks – he’ll relax at home, visit his girlfriend in Florida, and spend time at a training facility outside of Tampa where last season Myers said he found himself rubbing elbows with the likes of Derek Jeter and Ryan Howard.

“I was just sitting in the train-ing room before the fi rst work-out and you’re like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe they’re actually here,’ ” Myers recalled. “It was a great experience for me.”

One of many so far, with the hope of more to come – in their own time.

Former Wesleyan Christian Academy baseball star Wil Myers is grab-bing plenty of notice as a catcher for the Wilmington Blue Rocks of the Advanced-A Carolina League.

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Wil Myers is focused on continuing his rise through the Kansas City Royals organization.

Panthers rookie McClain honors slain teammateSPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – The

silver No. 6 pendant dangles at the end of a chain around Robert Mc-Clain’s neck. The tattoo honoring his slain college teammate covers the left side of his rib cage.

The seventh-round pick is busy these days trying to stick with the Carolina Panthers. But the for-mer Connecticut star still thinks about Jasper Howard every day, about how in a year the fellow cornerback was supposed to be in an NFL training camp, too.

“He was a playmaker, a play-maker. He was on his way, man,”

McClain said Friday of the close friend he called Jazz. “He def-initely would have had an outstand-ing year his senior year.”

Howard’s life end-ed in October. Less

than 12 hours after he had starred in a Huskies’ victory, he was fatal-ly stabbed during a fi ght outside a university-sanctioned dance.

McClain, who had let Howard borrow his car earlier that week to pick up his girlfriend, had de-

cided not to attend the dance. He instead stayed in a hotel room with his parents, who had watched UConn beat Louisville 38-25 on homecoming.

“I had my phone on silent the whole night. I woke up the next morning around 8 o’clock and I saw all the different phone calls,” Mc-Clain said. “I couldn’t believe it. I remember there was a cold rain that morning. I was sick and crying that whole day. It was just devastating.”

Those memories remain fresh with McClain, even as he surpris-es many with his play at training

camp with a couple interceptions and diving pass breakups.

“That kid has really come on,” Panthers coach John Fox said.

McClain is playing a lot like he did at UConn, when he paired with Howard to make the Hus-kies a factor in the Big East.

The 5-foot-9 McClain was the speedy, undersized cornerback and kick returner capable of big plays on both sides of the ball. The second-team all-Big East se-lection had four interceptions and returned a punt for a touch-down last season.

Woods, Yang meet again in PGA

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — Tiger Woods hasn’t seen the last of Y.E. Yang in the PGA Championship.

Defending champion Yang, four-time winner Woods and two-time champion Vijay Singh will be in the same group the opening two rounds of the PGA Championship next week at Whistling Straits.

A year ago, Yang became the fi rst player to win a major when Woods had the 54-hole lead. The South Korean rallied from a two-shot defi cit at Hazeltine to win by three shots.

Singh last won the PGA Championship in 2004 when it was held at Whistling Straits.

The PGA kept its traditional group of the year’s three major champions, putting togeth-er Masters champion Phil Mickelson, U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell and Brit-ish Open champion Louis Oosthuizen.

Fujikawa keeps command of eGolf

ChampionshipENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GORDONSVILLE, Va. – Tadd Fujikawa of Honolulu continues to wave Aloha to the fi eld through three rounds of the eGolf Tour Champi-onship at Spring Creek Golf Club.

Fujikawa, who led af-ter 18 and 36 holes of the 50-man event, carded a third-round 66 to stand at 21-under-par 195. He holds a commanding six-stroke lead over Derek Fathauer of Jen-sen Beach, Fla. enter-ing today’s fi nal round. Fujikawa’s front-nine 31 helped him maintain

command on Friday.Matt Hendrix of

Greenville, S.C. stands third at 13-under-par 203.

A pair of area golfers are fi rmly positioned in the top 10 through 54 holes.

Thomasville’s Chad Wilfong shares seventh place at 10-under with rounds of 68, 68 and 70 for a 206 total.

High Point’s Drew Weaver surged from a tie for 23rd to a tie for ninth after his 6-under round of 66 on Friday. He stands 9-under at 207 after rounds of 66, 75 and 66.

North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin (left) and wide receiver Greg Little participate in the team’s fi rstday of practice in Chapel Hill on Friday. Austin and Little are a part of an NCAA investigation into whether theyreceived improper benefi ts from agents.

Austin, Little practice with UNCCHAPEL HILL (AP) – Marvin

Austin and Greg Little were on the practice fi eld Friday just like the rest of their North Carolina team-mates for the start of preseason workouts. It’s unclear whether they’ll be able to join the Tar Heels less than a month from now for the season opener – or beyond.

The pair at the center of an NCAA investigation into whether they received improper benefi ts from agents didn’t talk with reporters after the afternoon practice. The rest of the players and coach Butch Davis have chosen to focus on any-thing other than the uncertainty following Austin, a senior defen-sive tackle projected as a high NFL draft pick, and Little, a senior and the team’s top receiving threat.

“It’s good to get back to doing football,” Davis said. “I think our players are excited about it. Any-time you go on the practice fi eld for two hours, as a coach, you’re always talking about block out dis-tractions, block out the weather, block out the noise, block out the other team’s fans. This was a good way to start camp.”

Austin and Little appeared to be working with the second team during a 45-minute part of prac-tice that was open to reporters, but Davis said he wasn’t making any practice plans based on their sta-tus just yet.

“We rotate a lot of guys throughout in a lot of different situa-tions,” Davis said. “At some point in time during the course of training camp, we’ll have to make a deci-sion based on what

we fi nd out and what direction we need to go. But right now, we’re just practicing football.”

Davis has talked only in generali-ties about the inquiry, which began when the NCAA notifi ed the school in late June. Investigators visited the campus July 12 and 13 to inter-view an unknown number of play-ers, then returned again this week. The probe has been part of a series of similar investigations at defend-ing national champion Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.

During last weekend’s Atlantic Coast Conference Football Kickoff preseason event, Davis refused to answer whether he had a policy of holding out players in the midst of an NCAA investigation, calling it “speculative.” When asked Friday about the NCAA’s return to cam-pus, Davis again refused to talk about specifi cs.

“We’ll talk about football,” he said. “We’re not talking about the NCAA review.”

His players are following a similar path. Quarterback T.J. Yates said

the start of training camp meant theteam could just “block everythingelse and concentrate on football,”while cornerback Kendric Burneysaid the NCAA investigation hasbeen “no distraction at all.”

“We had a great fi rst day of prac-tice,” Burney said. “Our focusright now is on practice and that’sexactly what we’re doing.”

Davis is preparing for his fourthseason in Chapel Hill, where he hasguided the program to consecutiveeight-win seasons and their fi rstback-to-back bowl seasons sincethe late 1990s when Mack Brownleft for Texas.

The Tar Heels are expected tocontend for the ACC’s Coastal Di-vision title behind a defense thatreturns nine starters from a unitthat ranked among the nation’sbest last year. Austin – a 6-foot-3,310-pound tackle – opted to returnto school for his fi nal season in-stead of heading to the NFL, whileLittle emerged as the team’s go-toreceiver late last year.

Losing either – let alone, both– would be a blow for the Tar Heelsas they prepare for their openeragainst LSU in Atlanta on Sept. 4.

As for whether the team has ral-lied around each other in responseto the probe, Davis is waiting tosee.

“Today’s our fi rst practice,” hesaid. “Time will tell.”

Mickelson targets No. 1 ranking


AKRON, Ohio – Phil Mickelson is closing in on No. 1.

The fi rst step is to make up a one-shot defi cit against Retief Goosen, the 36-hole leader Friday at the Bridgestone Invitational. Looking more inevi-table is Mickelson fi nally supplanting Tiger Woods atop the world ranking.

Goosen turned bogey into birdie by chipping in from 25 yards off the green at No. 4, sending him on his way to a 4-under 66 that gave him a one-shot lead over Mickelson and Justin Leonard (66) going into the weekend at Firestone.

Even as Goosen led another assault on par in soft conditions, Woods continued to look as ordinary as ever. The seven-time champion at Firestone hit only three fairways and stumbled to a 2-over 72 – the fi rst time he has ever had consecutive rounds over par at this tournament – that put him 13 shots out of the lead, and fi ve players removed from last place.

Woods has been No. 1 in the world since the week before the 2005 U.S. Open, but would lose his top ranking if Mickelson were to fi nish in fourth place alone and Woods – who is tied for 72nd – fi nishes out of the top 44.

Despite a bogey on the fi nal hole, Goosen was at 7-under 133 as he tries to win his fi rst World Golf Championship. Sixteen players were separated by four shots going into the weekend.

WESTWOOD WITHDRAWS FROM PGAAKRON, Ohio – Just as he was closing in on No. 1

in the world and possibly his fi rst major, Lee West-wood of England withdrew Friday from the PGA Championship with an injury that even puts the Ryder Cup in doubt.

Westwood, a runner-up at the Masters and the British Open this year, suffered a calf injury at the French Open the fi rst week in July. It has caused problems with swelling in his right ankle, and it reached a breaking point Friday.

Westwood, No. 3 in the world, had a chance to go to No. 1 in the ranking with a victory this week at the Bridgestone Invitational. He had his ankle taped for the second round and sputtered around to a 76.

Asked after his round what he could do besides tape his ankle, Westwood replied, “Sit on my back side for six weeks, like they keep telling me. It’s the only way to improve it.”

He withdrew from the Bridgestone Invitational later in the afternoon, appearing to take that ad-vice.

He will be replaced in the PGA Championship by Kevin Sutherland.

Westwood already has locked up a spot on the Eu-ropean team for the Ryder Cup, leading the stand-ings in money and world ranking points. The Ryder Cup will be Oct. 1-3 in Wales.

CEJKA LEADS BY ONEVERONA, N.Y. – Alex Cejka shot a 4-under 68 to

take a one-stroke lead in the Turning Stone Resort Championship.

Chris Tidland and fi rst-round co-leader Rory Sabbatini were tied for second at 9 under after the second round at the 7,482-yard Atunyote Golf Club. Tidland posted a 69 and Sabbatini had a 70.

Wind gusts that reached 30 mph wreaked havoc throughout the day, but Cejka birdied four holes af-ter he made the turn to give him eight birdies and no bogeys on the back nine through the fi rst two rounds of the tournament.

Cejka, who is from the Czech Republic, is try-ing to become the fi rst foreign-born winner of this event. International players have won 11 of the last 15 PGA Tour events.

Six players were tied for fourth at 7-under 137.

ARMOUR III SETS PACEBLAINE, Minn. – Tommy Armour III shot a 9-un-

der 63 and has a one-shot lead over Mark Calcavec-chia and David Frost after one round of the 3M Championship.

John Cook and Jeff Sluman are two strokes back. Armour, who had two victories in more than 20 years on the PGA Tour, has three second-place fi n-ishes in 12 previous starts during his rookie year on the Champions Tour. Hal Sutton, who eagled the fi nal hole, was among those shooting 66.

NEW YORK (AP) – Even after losing all those games and an embarrassing sexual harassment lawsuit, Isiah Thomas has a place with the New York Knicks.

Thomas was rehired Friday by the team as a consultant, two years after he was fi red as its coach and president.

Rolling Reds reach rare airTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Bronson Arroyo can’t remember the last time the Cincinnati Reds had so much team depth.

This much is certain: they haven’t been at a point like this in 11 years.

Arroyo threw fi ve-hit ball over seven innings in another dominant effort against the Cubs, and Cincinnati beat Chicago 3-0 Friday to move 14 games over .500 for the fi rst time since 1999.

The Reds got a two-run homer from Ryan Hanigan off Tom Gorzelanny (6-6) in the second, an RBI single from Bran-don Phillips in the seventh and came away with their seventh win in nine games after Francisco Cordero sur-vived a shaky ninth.

“We’re much better than we’ve been in the last four years,” said Arroyo, in his fi fth season with Cincinnati. “We have depth at every position that we’ve never had before.”

After nine straight losing years, the Reds are 14 games over .500 for the fi rst time since they went 96-67 in 1999. And the last time the NL Central leaders led their division this late was the fi nal week of that season.

The Cubs fell out of contention long ago and once again couldn’t get anything going against Arroyo (12-6) after pound-ing Milwaukee 15-3 on Wednesday.

CARDINALS 7, MARLINS 0MIAMI – Adam Wainwright pitched

a two-hitter for his 16th victory, Albert Pujols homered and the St. Louis Cardi-nals beat the reeling Florida Marlins 7-0 on Friday night.

Wainwright (16-6) struck out seven and walked three en route to his fi fth complete game and second shutout this season. He threw 110 pitches and low-ered his ERA to 2.07.

Stewart gears up for Watkins Glen

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) – Tony Stew-art seems to be right on schedule – it’s hot, and so is the driver known as Smoke.

Stewart, who typically thrives in the heat of sum-mer, has three straight top-10 fi nishes, including a runner-up last week at Pocono, and sits a solid eighth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup points stand-ings as the series heads to Watkins Glen Interna-tional. Qualifying is set for today with the race on Sunday.

Stewart might not be as hot as he has been in years past at this junc-ture of the season, but a strong fi nish at Watkins Glen is almost a lock. He’s won four of the past six races over the 11-turn, 2.45-mile layout, fi nish-ing second the two times he didn’t win, and has a record fi ve victories at the storied track in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York.

“I pinpoint this race,” Stewart said. “Every time

you win here, it makes it that much easier to come back and be that much more excited about it. That’s something that I’m really proud of. It defi -nitely gives me an advan-tage when we come here, at least in my mind.

“I know how to win here. There’s no guar-antee that it’s going to happen again this time around, but it defi nitely is one of the races on the schedule that we’ve got circled.”

Stewart’s second year as an owner-driver has been solid but a bit off his impressive fi rst year. In 2009, he won four times and led the points stand-ings by a wide margin after 26 races before Jim-mie Johnson stormed back in the Chase to cap-ture his fourth straight Cup title.

Although Stewart has yet to win this year, he’s 189 points ahead of 13th-place Mark Martin in the standings, a comfortable cushion as the regular season winds down.

Panthers’ Robinson trying to slim down, win jobTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Caro-lina Panthers guard Duke Robin-son isn’t interested in revealing his weight.

“That’s not relevant,” Robinson said Friday.

But Robinson’s soaring weight – apparently well over his listed 330 pounds – was why he spent the fi rst four days of training camp on the physically unable to per-form list. It cost him an immedi-ate chance to compete for the open right guard spot, now held by Mackenzy Bernadeau.

“No, it hasn’t been embarrass-ing,” Robinson said. “You feel bad for the situation you put your teammates in, but other than that, I feel pretty good.”

Robinson was a fi fth-round pick in 2009 from Oklahoma, but ap-peared in only one game last sea-son. He then got on coach John Fox’s wrong side when he showed up to training camp.

“He had passed his original (conditioning) test, but came in a little overweight,” Fox said. “We wanted to make sure he could pass it again. It took him maybe an ex-tra day. But he’s looked good out on the fi eld and has held up pretty good conditioning-wise.”

Robinson said his weakness is not junk food, but eating too late at night.

“You work out and you eat at 11 or 10. It doesn’t make sense,” he said.

The 6-foot-5 Robinson’s power and aggressiveness has been on display since he’s been cleared

to practice on Monday. He’s had some big blocks and a few scuffl es with defensive players as he tries to pass Bernadeau for the starting job.

“I’m going to fi ght for it,” he said. “It’s going to be a hard shot because Mack is doing his thing out there.”

VAUGHAN’S CHANCEThanks to a number injuries to

running backs, unheralded Josh Vaughan has been getting numer-ous carries at camp.

Vaughan isn’t complaining about the extra workload in the intense heat – not after he spent most of last season out of football.

“I sat at home for 15 weeks last year,” Vaughan said Friday. “It was miserable for a while, but I just kept my faith strong and nev-er lost hope.”

Vaughan, who played at Rich-mond, went undrafted last year before signing with Tampa Bay. He was waived early in training camp, signed with Jacksonville, then was waived again in fi nal cuts.

Vaughan returned to Richmond and was getting little interest from other teams. Running low on money, he took a job with a trans-portation company that primarily takes underprivileged people to medical appointments.

“It was a different experience because you got a chance to serve people who were less fortunate,” Vaughan said. “It sets you back and gets you thinking on a dif-ferent level. You don’t realize how fortunate you are until you

see the struggles other people gothrough.”

Vaughan fi nally was signed tothe Jaguars practice squad latelast season, and Carolina signedhim in the spring.

While the Panthers are loaded atrunning back and Vaughan faceslong odds to make the fi nal roster,he’s been getting carries with thefi rst team with three backs side-lined.

“Hopefully, I make a good casefor myself,” he said.

INJURY UPDATE The Panthers still had 16 play-

ers missing from the morningworkout. Starting cornerbackChris Gamble started practice,but went under the tent because oflingering knee pain.

Defensive tackle Ed Johnsonalso missed his second straightday because of illness.

Running back Mike Goodsonwas out of the protective boot hewas wearing earlier in the weekas he recovers from a severelysprained left ankle.

FANFEST TODAYThere were fumbled snaps, the

coaches were yelling at playersand players were yelling at team-mates. After 10 straight days inSpartanburg, there was somecrankiness Friday morning andplayers are welcoming a changein routine with today’s FanFestpractice at Bank of America Sta-dium in Charlotte. The Pantherswill hold a 36-play scrimmage dur-ing Saturday’s workout, which be-gins at 11 a.m. and is free to fans.

RPM INKS ALLMENDINGER TO MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT---WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) – Richard Petty Motors-

ports has signed AJ Allmendinger to a multi-year con-tract extension.

Allmendinger says he talked to several teams before deciding to stay put because he likes the potential he sees in his No. 43 team and doesn’t want to start over with another team.

The 28-year-old Allmendinger, who joined RPM late in the 2008 season and is in his fourth full season at the Cup level, also says he likes the relationship the team has developed with Ford.

Marcos Ambrose has been rumored to be headed to RPM. Petty just smiled Friday during the press con-ference at Watkins Glen International and said future announcements would be coming.

BRIEFS---


Ford to start paying chairman again

DETROIT – After a fi ve-year wage freeze, Ford Motor Co. Execu-tive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. is getting paid again.

It’s another sign that the automaker founded by his great-grandfather Henry Ford is healthy enough to award its top executives generous pay packages. The company recently said it earned $2.6 billion in the second quarter, its fi fth-straight quarterly profi t.

Bill Ford will be paid $4.2 million in salary and in stock options worth $11.6 million.

Consumers continue cutting credit card use

WASHINGTON – Con-sumer borrowing fell in June for a fi fth straight month as households keep cutting back on credit card use.

Borrowing dropped at an annual rate of $1.3 bil-lion in June, the Federal Reserve reported Friday. That marked the 16th drop in overall credit in the past 17 months. Americans backed away from swiping their credit cards for the 21st straight month. That offset a rise in the number of auto loans.

Tobacco companies settle bribery charges

WASHINGTON – Two American tobacco com-panies are paying nearly $30 million to settle charges that they bribed foreign offi cials to get lu-crative overseas tobacco sales contracts.

The companies, Univer-sal Corp. of Richmond, Va., and Alliance One In-ternational of Morrisville, N.C., faced civil and crimi-nal charges. Universal was accused of bribing offi cials in Thailand, Malawi and Mozambique. Alliance One is accused of brib-ing offi cials in Thailand, China, Greece, Indonesia, and Kyrgyzstan.

Hiring maintains sluggish pace

WASHINGTON (AP) – Companies showed a lack of confi dence about hiring for a third straight month in July, making it likely the economy will grow more slowly the rest of the year. The unemploy-ment rate was unchanged at 9.5 percent.

Private employers add-ed a net total of only 71,000 jobs in July, far below the 200,000 or more jobs need-ed each month to reduce the unemployment rate.

The modest gains were

even weaker when consid-ering a loss of government jobs at the local, state and federal levels in July that weren’t temporary census positions. Factoring those in, the net gains were only 12,000 jobs, according to the Labor Department’s July report Friday.

Investors reacted by selling stocks and shift-ing into more conserva-tive Treasury bonds. The yield on the 10-year Trea-sury note, which helps set rates on mortgages and

other consumer loans, fell to 2.85 percent from 2.91 percent late Thursday. Major stock indexes all fell and the Dow Jones in-dustrial average dropped more than 130 points in morning trading.

The department also sharply revised down its jobs fi gures for June, saying businesses hired fewer workers than pre-viously estimated. June’s private-sector job gains were lowered to 31,000 from 83,000.

AIG reports $533 million loss

NEW YORK (AP) – The insurance giant AIG on Friday reported a $538 million loss in the second quarter due to charges related to selling assets to repay the federal govern-ment bailout it received during the fi nancial melt-down.

AIG’s adjusted results excluding the charges beat Wall Street expec-tations as its insurance business improved. Its CEO also said discussions are under way regarding a government exit from its huge stake in the com-pany. Its shares rose in midday trading.

American International Group Inc. said its net loss attributable to common shareholders amounted to $3.96 per share. It had a profi t of $311 million, or $2.30 per share, a year ago.

The net loss attribut-able to AIG was a larger

$2.66 billion. That is much bigger than the $538 mil-lion loss attributed to its shareholders, because it includes the portion that the government is shoul-dering. The government owns 80 percent of AIG.

Removing the charges, AIG earned $1.99 per share, up from $1.71 per share last year. That re-fl ected improved perfor-mance in its insurance business, despite heavy claims related to the Gulf of Mexico oil rig explo-sion and subsequent spill, storms and fl ooding in the U.S. during the quarter and the Icelandic volcano. Analysts polled by Thom-son Reuters, on average, expected profi t of 99 cents per share.

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst Cliff Gal-lant said the results were confusing because the company is undergoing so many changes.

Gas prices increase; oil falls slightly


Motorists heading out for back-to-school shop-ping trips or a late-sum-mer vacation will pay a few cents more for a gal-lon of gas this weekend.

Pump prices rose this week because of a rally in oil, yet they aren’t expected to spike in the weeks ahead because of typical light trading in the oil market in August, still-ample supplies and fairly weak demand.

The national average for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline was $2.779 Friday, about 3.8 cents higher than a week ago, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Informa-tion Service. It’s also 16.9 cents more than mo-torists paid a year ago.

Travelers in the West,

Illinois and New York are seeing the highest prices. The lowest prices are in Texas, the Midwest and the Gulf coast region.

Unleaded regular gaso-line prices should range between $2.75 a gallon and $2.85 a gallon until Labor Day when a retreat is expected as demand falls, said Tom Kloza, publisher of the Oil Price Information Service.

In energy trading, oil prices dipped after a government jobs report prompted new concerns about economic growth.

Benchmark crude for September delivery fell $1.31 to settle at $80.70 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

In other Nymex trad-ing in September con-tracts, heating oil fell 3.96 cents to settle at $2.1472 a gallon.

NEW YORK (AP)– Safety fi rst. That ap-pears to be the new mot-to for investors trying tofi gure out how bad theemerging slowdown inU.S. economic growth isgoing to be.

A disappointing jobsreport sent investors outof stocks and the dollarFriday and into assetsperceived as being safer.Foreign currencies andgold rose, as did bondprices, which sent in-terest rates lower. Theyield on the two-yearTreasury note hit a re-cord low.

Stocks sank for mostof the day but paredtheir losses in late after-noon trading. The DowJones industrials endeddown 21 points after be-ing down as much as 160earlier in the day.

A closely watchedmonthly employmentsurvey from the LaborDepartment confi rmedwhat investors havebeen fearing: The U.S.economic recovery isweakening. Private jobgrowth was just 71,000 inJuly. That’s below whatanalysts had hoped forand far shy of the levelthat would be neededto reduce the unem-ployment rate, whichremained steady at 9.5percent.

It was latest sign that aslowdown in U.S. growthis the real problem withthe global economy, notthe European debt crisisthat had fi nancial mar-kets in a tizzy for muchof the spring.

Saudis shed BlackBerry phones before ban kicks in

RIYADH, Saudi Ara-bia (AP) – Some Saudis were trying to sell their BlackBerrys ahead of a ban on the smart phone’s messenger service in the kingdom – but with few willing to buy, they’re having to slash prices.

The Saudi telecoms regulatory agency an-nounced earlier this week the service would be halted Friday. By mid-afternoon, it was still op-erating. One Saudi news-paper, Okaz, said the halt would begin at the end of the day, at midnight. Saudi offi cials were not available Friday, a week-end day, to confi rm.

The kingdom is one of a number of countries ex-

pressing concern that the device is a security threat because encrypted infor-mation sent on the phones is routed through over-seas computers – making it impossible for local gov-ernments to monitor.

The United Arab Emir-ates has announced it will ban BlackBerry e-mail, messaging and Web browsing starting in Oc-tober, and Indonesia and India are also demanding greater control over the data.

Canadian offi cials were in talks with the Black-Berry’s Canada-based maker, Research in Mo-tion, Ltd., and Saudi of-fi cials in a bid to avert

the ban, Canadian Inter-national Trade Minister Peter Van Loan told The Associated Press.

“We are making prog-ress,” he said, though he said that didn’t mean a deal was imminent. “We’ll keep talking ... Hopefully we can work toward a satisfactory ar-rangement.”

Analysts say RIM’s ex-pansion into fast-grow-ing emerging markets is threatening to set off a wave of regulatory chal-lenges, as its commit-ment to keep corporate e-mails secure rubs up against the desires of lo-cal law enforcement. RIM says it does offer help to

governments, but says its technology does not allow it, or any third party, to read encrypted e-mails sent by corporate BlackBerry users. The consumer version has a lower level of security.

On Friday, Lebanon said it is also looking into whether BlackBerry use raises security concerns there – in part because of allegations that Israeli spies are trying to infi l-trate phone networks in Lebanon.

KNIFE ATTACKS: Michigan police search for serial killer. 2D

4 bodies found in trash-fi lled apartmentRIVERDALE, Md. (AP)

– Police say two women and two children have been found shot dead in a trash-filled Washing-ton-area apartment that had no running water.

Prince George’s Coun-ty, Md., police say the amount of trash is hin-dering the investiga-tion of the bodies found in the makeshift apart-ment above a detached garage at a home in Riverdale.

The victims were two

women in their late 30s,a three-year-old girl andfive-year-old boy.

Officers found the bod-ies early Friday after re-sponding to a call fromsomeone at the propertywho reported an assault.Police wouldn’t say howthe victims died.

Police Chief RobertoHylton said whoeverkilled the victims mayhave known them, andthe slayings attack ap-peared to be “personal”rather than random.

NTSB investigates deadly bus accident

GRAY SUMMIT, Mo. (AP) – National Trans-portation Safety Board investigators examin-ing the Missouri crash that killed a 15-year-old school bus passenger and the teen driver of a pickup truck are hopeful they’ll learn something to make school buses and road work zones safer, an NTSB offi cial said Fri-day.

NTSB Vice Chairman Christopher Hart said “people, vehicles and the environment” at the crash scene will be evalu-ated by the team of 14 investigators, though a fi nal report could take up to 18 months.

The accident happened Thursday on Interstate

44, about 40 miles fromSt. Louis. A semi cabslowed for road construc-tion and was struck by apickup.

NEWEST JUSTICENEWEST JUSTICE

WASHINGTON (AP) – A beaming Elena Kagan and President Barack Obama on Friday celebrated her im-minent ascension to the Supreme Court with jokes and references to the irreverent sense of humor she put on display during her Senate confi rmation hearing.

An audience in the East Room of the White House, fi lled with Kagan’s friends and extended family, along with Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Anthony Kennedy, screamed with joy and applauded as Obama introduced “Justice Elena Kagan.”

Kagan, 50, holds the title of U.S. solicitor general for one more day.

“While she may be feeling a twinge of sadness about giving up the title of general – a cool title – I think we can agree that Justice Elena Kagan has a pretty nice ring to it,” Obama said of his second suc-cessful appointment to the court.

The Senate on Thursday con-fi rmed Kagan as the nation’s 112th justice.

She will be the fourth woman ever to serve on the high court.

Kagan will be sworn in Saturday

at the Supreme Court as the suc-cessor to retired Justice John Paul Stevens.

Obama said senators got a “pretty good look” during the confi rmation process at Kagan, who met individ-ually with more than 80 senators and testifi ed for a total of 17 hours.

“They got a good sense of her ju-dicial philosophy, her commitment to the rule of law, her rich under-standing of our Constitution and, of course, where she can be found on Christmas Day,” Obama said, al-luding to one of her jokes.

Spill probe turns to undersea evidenceNEW ORLEANS (AP) – Now that

BP appears to have vanquished its ruptured well, authorities are turning their attention to gath-ering evidence from what could amount to a crime scene at the bot-tom of the sea.

The wreckage – including the failed blowout preventer and the blackened, twisted remnants of the drilling platform – may be Exhibit A in the effort to establish who is

responsible for the biggest peace-time oil spill in history. And the very companies under investiga-tion will be in charge of recovering the evidence.

Hundreds of investigators can’t wait to get their hands on evidence. The FBI is conducting a criminal investigation, the Coast Guard is seeking the cause of the blast, and lawyers are pursuing millions of dollars in damages for the families

of the 11 workers killed, the dozens injured and the thousands whose livelihoods have been damaged.

“The items at the bottom of the sea are a big deal for everybody,” said Stephen Herman, a New Or-leans lawyer for injured rig work-ers and others.

BP will surely want a look at the items, particularly if it tries to shift responsibility for the disaster onto other companies.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Christina Romer, the de-parting chief of President Barack Obama’s econom-ic advisory council, cast disagreements among key players on the White House economic team as a healthy part of reaching tough policy decisions.

“Everybody knows we’re all strong personali-ties,” Romer told The As-sociated Press on Friday. “We don’t hesitate to have a very aggressive back and forth. But I think one of the things that we have done is absolutely fi nd our groove. We’re a won-derful team.”

Romer said she is leav-ing solely for family rea-sons. She has been a chief economic aide to Obama, along with such advisers as Larry Summers, direc-tor of the White House National Economic Coun-cil, and Treasury Secre-tary Timothy Geithner.

Company recalls 1 million pounds of ground beefSAN FRANCISCO (AP) – A meat processor

recalled about 1 million pounds of ground beef products Friday after seven people were sickened by E. coli contamination.

Valley Meat Co., of Modesto, sold the potentially contaminated beef patties and ground beef in California, Texas, Oregon, Arizona and internationally, the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture said.

The beef was processed from Oct. 2, 2009, to Jan. 12, 2010. Most of the products were sold frozen. The company was working

with the USDA to identify stores where the products were sold and remove the items from shelves.

The USDA would likely have a list of retailers available in three to 10 working days, department spokesman Neil Gaffney said.

“This is the fi rst recall in our history and we will investigate the matter thoroughly and take any measures deemed necessary to further elevate our safety standards, protect consumers, and ensure confi dence

in our products,” Valley Meat said in astatement.

All of the recalled products have the es-tablishment number “EST. 8268” inside thelabel’s USDA mark of inspection. ValleyMeat said consumers should discard pos-sibly affected meat or return it to stores fora refund.

The California Department of Health no-tifi ed the USDA in mid-July of a cluster ofE. coli-related illnesses, leading to the re-call.

Tropical Storm Estelle forms; Colin heads for Bermuda

MIAMI (AP) – Tropical Storm Estelle has formed in the Pacifi c, while in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Colin is heading toward Bermuda.

Authorities have closed beaches across Bermuda, warning of high winds and dangerous surf.

Forecasters at the Na-tional Hurricane Center said Friday the center of the storm is about 300 miles (485 kilometers) south-southwest of Ber-muda and is moving

north around 9 mph (15 kph). Its maximum sus-tained winds are near 45 mph (75 kph).

A tropical storm warn-ing was issued for Ber-muda. Colin’s center is expected to pass near or over the British territory Saturday.

In the Pacifi c, Estelle poses no threat to main-land Mexico. The storm has top sustained winds near 40 mph (65 kph) and is heading west-north-west at 12 mph.

Serial killer sought in MichiganFLINT, Mich. (AP) – Inves-

tigators say a knife-wielding serial killer has been attack-ing men on Flint-area streets since May, killing fi ve people and wounding eight others in a vicious spate of violence that may be motivated by racial ha-tred.

Survivors have described

their assailant as a muscular, young white man, and all but one of the 13 victims was black, Flint police Lt. T.P. Johnson told The Associated Press on Friday. Flint is a predominantly black city, and investigators are un-sure if the suspect was targeting blacks or whether the victims were chosen at random.

The victims were all out-side alone at night. Survi-vors have said the attacker approached them under the pretense of needing direc-tions or help with a broken down vehicle.

“He then pulls a knife and at-tacks them without saying any-thing more,” Johnson said.

US gets suspect in hacking case that spanned worldRALEIGH (AP) – In

November 2008, with the nation transfi xed by a presidential election and a collapsing economy, a group of international hackers infi ltrated the computer network of a major fi nancial services company in what au-thorities describe as one of the most sophisticated attacks ever concocted.

Their work was both furtive and impressive: Around the time Barack Obama was securing his White House win, the hackers entered RBS WorldPay servers, ac-cessed prepaid payroll card numbers, cracked their encrypted PIN codes, raised the balances on the cards and distrib-uted dozens of them to

a team of people around the world.

Then, in the span of 12 hours around Nov. 8 of that year, the group hit 2,100 ATM terminals in 280 cities spanning the world, from the United States to Russia to Italy to Japan. Prosecutors say they withdrew $9 million – a haul that rivals 1,000 typical bank robberies

in the United States.Despite the technical

and international chal-lenges of the case, U.S. investigators believe they were able to trace the scheme back to its origin. On Friday they brought one of the ac-cused ring leaders Ser-gei Tsurikov, 26, from Estonia to Atlanta to face arraignment.

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) – Twenty states and the nation’s most infl uential small busi-ness lobby said Friday a federal court in Florida must hear their challenge to President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul be-cause they face imminent harm from its mandates.

The Justice Department in June asked a federal judge to dismiss their lawsuit, saying the U.S. Dis-trict Court in Pensacola lacks sub-ject-matter jurisdiction over some of the lawsuit’s claims.

They also said other parts of the lawsuit failed to state claims upon which relief can be granted.

The states, the National Fed-eration of Independent Business and several individual taxpay-ers fi led their response Friday in Pensacola federal court.

Q. I am shopping for a burglar alarm system and am looking for a little insight. I would appreciate any help that you could offer. – Nathan

A. Don’t be “alarmed”, but there is no such thing as an absolutely burglar proof alarm system.

However, a good alarm system will help deter and/or detect most burglars, and will give you peace of mind. According to the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association the best alarm system protects the entire perimeter of a home (that is every door and window where entry may be made) and areas inside where valuables are kept.

Most reputable alarm companies will install and maintain a local alarm system which will ring a bell or sound a siren or buzzer on the premises.

Many fi rms also provide central reporting alarms which silently signal the alarm company’s headquarters to dispatch police or perhaps alarm company agents. Some companies will offer direct alarm connection to the local police or fi re department, if permitted by local law.

The basic home-protection system is a simple closed-circuit loop system consisting of contacts on doors and windows. There is also a choice of additional interior protection using pressure mats, photoelectric beams, ultrasonic, infrared and microwave systems and other motion or space-detection devices. Most residential systems are designed to ring a bell and/or illuminate the area to scare off an intruder.

Remember, never sign a contract that does not specifi -cally detail the points of protection and does not item-ize the equipment to be installed.

Understand warrantiesTHE CAREY BROTHERS

ON THE HOUSE/ASSOCIATED PRESS

R ecently, a listener called our radio program to com-plain that the warranty

he had on his roof was not being honored by the manufacturer.

The caller said that the dam-aged area covered his entire roof – about 2,700 square feet. The composition roof shingles were cracking horizontally and verti-cally. He went on to say that the roof covering manufacturer had fi rst offered him $500 to repair his roof. The caller was angry because he was told that the whole roof would have to be re-placed – at a cost of over $4,000.

He told us that he repeatedly complained to the roofi ng manu-facturer who eventually agreed to provide the roofi ng material to replace the entire roof, and over $1,400 in cash to cover some of the installation costs. “I think they are crooks,” he said. “First, they wanted to give me $500 for a roof that will cost $4,000 to replace. Now they want to give me more, but it isn’t enough to do the replacement.”

We asked the caller to send us copies of all of his correspon-dence with the roofi ng company, photos of the damage and a copy of the original warranty. He did.

What we discovered was a sur-prise. When the roofi ng company

offered $500 they were doing so in strict accordance with their writ-ten warranty. And legally, were not obligated to do any more than that.

The caller thought he was buying a roof covering with a 20-year warranty. What he didn’t realize was that it was a prorated warranty and that full replacement was good only during the fi rst year. After that,

the manufacturer’s prorated warranty covered material re-placement only with no removal of the bad material, and no labor for the installation of the new.

Based on this, we started checking and made a stunning discovery: Manufacturer’s war-ranties for composition roof covering material are somewhat useless after one year regardless of whether they claim 20-, 30-, 40 or even 50-year coverage.

California has a “hidden defect” law that could be used to get satisfaction from a manufac-turer who sells a faulty product

no matter what the warranty states. If you’re having a war-ranty problem, check to see if your state has legislated an act for your protection against thesetype warranties.

In California, consumers can check with the Contractor’s State License Board. States that don’t have contractor’s license agencies often manage these laws through their state depart-ment of industrial relations.

Regardless of where you reside, it might be wise to also demand removal and replace-ment labor for at least fi ve years from the contractor. Get this in writing before you sign on the dotted line. More often than not, the contractor does not want to be a part of any such guaran-tee. They love handing you the manufacturer’s warranty and noother. Be sure to differentiate be-tween the product warranty and the installer’s warranty. They are completely different.

If a warranty is an important part of your consideration of the purchase of a product, read it thoroughly before you sign. As ourcaller discovered, a twenty-year warranty on a $4,000 roof could be as little as $500 in the fi fth year.

Be certain the language says they cover exactly what you want

Check to see if your state has a law for your protection against some types of warranties.

Q. I have a 12-year-old shake roof. My neighbor has pine trees that drop needles on the roof. There is a com-pany that does roof care in my area. Should I have the roof sprayed or not? – Michael

A. Roof care will extend the life of the roof just as painting preserves exterior walls. If roof care is within your means, by all means proceed. Pine needles require special attention. They won’t damage roofi ng, but are a fi re hazard in the summer, and in the winter have a tendency to hold moisture on the roof. Treated or not, a roof will deteriorate where excessive moisture persists.

RSaturdayAugust 7, 2010MONEY MATTERS:

Take control of your fi nances and save down payment. 3R

F or those of you who read last week’s article, you know that the only one

who can answer the question of whether it is a good time for you to buy a house is you. No one can determine your needs and income stability better than you. However, if you determine that it is time for you to pur-chase a house, then timing is everything.

On Monday of this week, I spoke with Susan Kirkpatrick, senior mortgage loan offi cer and vice president of Bank of America Home Loans. For qualifi ed buyers with a middle credit score of 620, the inter-est rate she was quoting was around 4.5 percent for a fi xed rate FHA loan with a term of 30 years. The scenario that she gave was a buyer purchasing a home for $100,000. In this case,

the buyer can expect to put down 3.5 percent, or $3,500, as a down payment. Based on estimated taxes and insurance for a house in this price range, she fi gured the pay-ments would be around $675.

Ms. Kirkpatrick went on to say the

estimated closing cost and pre-paid in this scenario would be approximately $3,800. Of course your Realtor, when acting as a buyer’s agent, may suggest that you include this closing cost in your offer to purchase so it will be paid by the seller, instead of you, the buyer.

This is where the timing comes in. Every time the interest rate

goes up one half percent, the pay-ment on this scenario goes up ap-proximately $30. It’s not been too long ago that interest rates were hovering around 5.5 percent. During that time, this same home would have had an approximate payment of $735.

For some families, this $60 increase in the monthly payment could have made the difference between this home being afford-able and just barely out of reach. In fact, for some of those families, with debt-to-income ratios right on the borderline, it could have made the difference in having the loan approved or having it declined.

If you’re one of the many potential home buyers who are waiting on the sidelines, watching the evening news and reading the newspapers every day, waiting for conditions to get better, you should strongly consider the scenario

mentioned. Rates are truly at his-toric lows and the chances of them going up in the future are a lot more likely than that they will fall much below where they are now.

On the other hand, if you are a home buyer who was unable to fi nd a home that suited your needs when rates were 5.5 percent, it may be time to put in a call to your Realtor to see what homes may be available to you now that were out of your reach before.

Foreclosure activity up in most big US citiesLOS ANGELES (AP) – House-

holds across a majority of large U.S. cities received more fore-closure warnings in the fi rst six months of this year than in the fi rst half of 2009, new data shows.

The trend is the latest sign that the nation’s foreclosure crisis is worsening as homeowners bat-tling high unemployment, slow job growth and an uneven re-bound in home prices continue to fall behind on their mortgage payments.

In all, 154 out of 206 metropoli-tan areas with at least 200,000 residents posted an annual in-crease in foreclosure activity between January and June, fore-closure listing fi rm RealtyTrac Inc. said Thursday.

The fi rm tracks notices for de-

faults, scheduled home auctions and home repossessions – warn-ings that can lead up to a home eventually being lost to foreclo-sure.

The latest fi gures show the threat of foreclosures is spread-ing well beyond the top tier of metropolitan areas located in California, Florida, Nevada and Arizona, which have borne the brunt of the fallout from the housing crisis.

Those states saw housing val-ues surge during the housing boom years. When the boom ended, values collapsed and fore-closures soared.

“The face of foreclosure is driven much more now by un-employment than in the past, and it’s moving out from the places where we’ve been focus-

ing on in the last few years,” said Rick Sharga, a senior vice president at RealtyTrac. “The combination of a weak job mar-ket and a weak housing market is making it diffi cult in some of these areas.”

The Miami-Fort Lauder-dale-Pompano Beach met-ropolitan area in Florida received more foreclosure-related warnings in the first half of this year than any other, the firm said.

Florida accounted for nine of the top 20 metro areas with the highest foreclosure rates.

The latest data echo broader, national foreclosure trends.

The number of households facing foreclosure in the fi rst half of the year climbed 8 per-cent versus the same period last

year, but dropped 5 percent from the last six months of 2009, Re-altyTrac said in a report issued earlier this month.

In all, about 1.7 million home-owners received a foreclosure-related warning between Janu-ary and June. That translates to one in 78 U.S. homes.

More than 1 million Ameri-can households are likely to lose their homes to foreclosure this year, the fi rm said.

The latest data included one bright spot: Nine of the top 10, hardest-hit metropolitan areas saw their foreclosure rates drop from a year ago. That could suggest foreclosure trends in those cities, includ-ing Las Vegas, Cape Coral, Fla., and Modesto, Calif., may have peaked.

Homebuying makes sense when you save for a down payment

S ome years ago, Leo Berard wrote out a $10,000 check for each of his four children. The money gave

his offspring a jump start toward a down payment for the purchase of a fi rst home – a goal all four eventually achieved.

But nowadays, due to their own fi nancial challenges, fewer parents have the wherewithal to assist their children to buy a fi rst home. Still, the yearning for homeownership remains strong among many in their late 20s and early 30s, says Berard, a real estate broker and charter president of the Na-tional Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (www.naeba.org).

In many areas, homes are signifi -cantly more affordable than they were before the economic downturn. Still, the barriers to entry can seem monu-mental to cash-strapped purchasers.

“Many mortgage lenders are now stringent in their down payment requirements. And lots of young people have trouble saving, particularly if they’re carrying a lot of student loans and credit card debt,” Berard says.

He urges those who are serious about buying a fi rst home to craft a strategic plan to cut their debt, reduce expenses and begin saving in earnest.

“You don’t want a lack of savings to be the critical roadblock that keeps you from moving forward, particularly at a time when both home prices and mortgage rates are very favorable for

buyers,” Berard says.Here are several point-

ers for potential home-buyers who need to take control of their money:

• Do an inventory of your current fi nancial situation. A major obsta-cle to saving for a house is uncontrolled day-to-day spending, Berard says. But before you can decide how to reallocate your income, he recom-

mends you review where your money has gone, category by category, over a recent three-month period. This can be done either with pen and paper or personal fi nance software.

Doing this preliminary inventory can be time- consuming, as you sift through your credit card and checking account statements. In fact, the process could take the better part of a weekend or possibly even two. But Berard says it’s well worth the time.

• Craft a spending plan that lets you save for your home-buying goal.

Once you know where your money is going, it’s time to create a budget that lets you meet your essential needs while still amassing savings for your down payment, says Eric Tyson, a personal fi nance expert and author of “Mind Over Money: Your Path to Wealth and Happiness.”

He encourages you to closely evalu-

ate every segment of your spending in search of possible reductions.

For example, don’t accept that the rent on your apartment as a given, es-pecially if you live in a luxury complex with amenities you rarely use, such as a swimming pool. When your lease is up, perhaps you could move to a more modest building to cut your rental costs.

You may also fi nd fat to cut in your transportation spending. If high gas prices for commuting are costing you more than they must, what about switching temporarily to mass transit or car-pooling for a period?

Your food expenditures may also be out of line.

“Why not pack your lunches for work and learn to cook at home?” Tyson says.

• Get your debt issues under control.In many cases, educational loans are

nearly unavoidable, particularly for those who attend graduate or profes-sional school. But even after their schooling is complete, many young people continue to accumulate credit card debt – and at interest rates much higher than their student loans.

“You need to be very aggressive about getting your debt under con-trol. At the minimum, you should make no new purchases on your credit cards until you’ve saved enough for your down payment,” Tyson says.

To be sure, paying down credit card debt can require severe self-sacrifi ce. But obviously, you’ll fi nd it much easier to amass your down payment when you’re no longer juggling credit card payments at double-digit rates.

You probably won’t need a fi nancial adviser to help you dig out from credit card debt, Tyson says, though you can fi nd useful guidance through books on the topic.

• Don’t be dissuaded from your home-buying plans by friends.

Given that the U.S. economy is still facing problems, conventional wisdom has it that this is a poor time to buy a home. Consumer con-fidence is sagging and your friends may question your plan to save money for a home purchase in the near future.

But Tyson says that those who are persuaded by friends to postpone a home purchase might one day regret that they waited, particularly after realestate markets have strengthened and home prices have rebounded signifi -cantly.

“When you look back over past periods when consumer confi dence was low, you’ll see that many people got terrifi c deals on real estate then. Contrarians can do very well,” Tyson says.

Florida mortgage fi rm settles federal charges

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators say a Florida company they ac-cused of misleading bor-rowers who were seeking to avoid foreclosure has agreed to repay the con-sumers $2.4 million to settle those charges.

The Federal Trade Commission said Thurs-day that Home Assure

LLC, based in Clearwa-ter, Fla., promised bor-rowers mortgage relief in exchange for fees of up to $2,500 but delivered little or no help.

The company is now barred from selling mort-gage and foreclosure re-lief services.

Consumer advocates and government offi -

cials say borrowers who need help should avoid for-profi t outfi ts and in-stead contact nonprofi t credit counselors who work with lenders at no charge.

The government has been pursuing numerous cases against companies it says prey on troubled homeowners.

Freddie Mac names its chief administrative offi cerMCLEAN, Va. (AP)

– Freddie Mac on Monday named a company insider, Jer-ry Weiss, to its newly created position of chief administrative officer.

The mortgage fi nance company said Weiss will continue to serve as its chief compliance

offi cer. As chief admin-istrative offi cer, Weiss will take on the tasks of managing external relations and human re-sources.

Weiss currently man-ages Freddie Mac’s regu-latory affairs and serves as the company’s liaison to the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the

U.S. Department of theTreasury.

Last year, Weiss wasgiven the responsibilityof overseeing the com-pany’s activities in rela-tion to and compliancewith the federal MakingHome Affordable Pro-gram.

Weiss joined FreddieMac in 2003.
