HIGH POINT – Should the city implement a new fee to make up for a continued decline in rev-enue, or should additional cost-cutting measures be taken?

That was one question City Council members debated dur-

ing a review of City Manager Strib Boynton’s proposed 2010-11 budget Wednesday.

The draft spending plan holds the property tax rate steady, but it calls for utility-rate increas-es and includes a proposed $6 monthly fee for garbage collec-tion that would kick in Jan. 1.

“I’ve gotten a lot of calls from

senior citizens, and they cannot absorb that $6 fee,” said Coun-cilman Mike Pugh. “The gen-eral public has taken pay cuts, they’re being laid off. I know pay cuts are not popular, but I think biting the bullet might be better than imposing fees on people that just can’t afford it.”

Wednesday’s session also in-

cluded a review of proposed parks and recreation fee hikes that would take place at the Blair Park and Oak Hollow golf courses, the J. Brooks Reitzel Tennis Center and City Lake Swimming Pool, as well as boat-ing and fishing charges at Oak

HIGH POINT – City leaders have taken additional action to try to put a dent in High Point’s backlog of blighted properties.

The High Point City Council this week adopted ordinances to demol-ish two dwellings and to close fi ve others. Council members said both houses marked for demolition – 1105 E. Russell Ave. and 311 A & B Park St. – were on the city’s original mas-ter list of substandard properties that date back 10 years.

Bob Bradley, the father of the own-er of the Russell Avenue house, told the council that considerable invest-ment had been made to improve the house, but vandals who break win-dows and write gang graffi ti have been a continuous problem.

“You need to clean up that neigh-borhood before you can have decent housing,” Bradley told the council.

Council members pointed out that the property has numerous alleged minimum housing code violations, including no heating system, walls that were erected without proper permits and structural violations making it unsafe and virtually un-inhabitable.

“Gangs don’t write on houses that

people live in,” said Councilwoman Bernita Sims. “This has been there for 10 years. It’s not fair to the peo-ple in that neighborhood.”

City inspectors also found struc-tural violations, inoperable heating equipment and other code violations at the Park Street property. Owner Johnny Mitchell said he would like time to fi x, sell or donate the prop-erty, but wasn’t sure it was worth the investment. Council members said they believed he had already been given ample time to bring it up to code. The demolition ordinances

gave both property owners 30 days to bring the houses up to code.

Various other properties on Ven-able Court, Meredith Street, Ridge-way Place, Fairview Street and Put-nam Street were ordered vacated or closed because of multiple code violations.

Inspectors said the owners of some of the properties have completed re-pairs and are in the process of addi-tional work that, if completed, could bring the sites up to code.

Council targets substandard dwellings

BY PAUL B. JOHNSONENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Area state repre-sentatives fi led a bill this week to secure about $2 million for the High Point Market, a move that would maintain state support for the trade show at about its current level.

Keeping to a pledge made before the 2010 N.C. General Assembly session began a week ago, the lo-cal House delegation submitted a bill Tuesday that basically holds the line on furniture market fund-ing in a tough fi scal year. House Bill 1820 would secure $848,925 for the 2010-11 fi scal year to support promotion and marketing of the

world’s largest home furnishings trade show, which is the single-largest economic event in North Carolina each year.

Another $1.2 million would sup-port transportation services for the 160,000 marketgoers who at-tend the trade show annually. The state’s new fi scal year begins July 1, and legislators and Gov. Beverly Perdue are trying to plug a short-fall estimated at $800 million to $1 billion in a $19 billion budget.

The Senate gave initial approval Wednesday afternoon to its ver-sion of the state budget. The Sen-ate version maintains the level of transportation services funding for the market, but cuts the pro-motion and marketing money by

5 percent from the current state budget as part of an across-the-board reduction of appropriations to balance the budget, according to the offi ce of Senate President Pro Tem Marc Basnight, D-Dare.

The Senate version, once passed in full, will go to the House for con-sideration.

The High Point Market Author-ity’s proposed 2010-11 fi scal year budget projects $2 million in rev-enues from state appropriations. The agency’s total revenues for the upcoming fi scal year are projected at $5 million.

The furniture market bill’s pri-mary cosponsors are Reps. Maggie Jeffus, D-Guilford, Alma Adams, D-Guilford, Laura Wiley, R-Guil-

ford, and Earl Jones, D-Guilford. House Bill 1820 references the market’s annual estimated eco-nomic impact of $1.2 billion to the state and its tie to 65,362 jobs in the Triad.

Market Authority President Brian Casey said trade show sup-porters already have traveled to Raleigh twice to meet with legisla-tors about the importance of mar-ket funding.

“We are reinforcing the fact that support of this market is essential. We’re really at a turning point; so now is really an important time to continue that investment,” Casey said Wednesday.

ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) – Authorities say a homeless man who said he was looking for the fastest route to a conces-sion stand was arrested after walking onto the outfi eld during a minor league baseball game in Pennsylvania.

Logan Township po-lice say they’ll fi le crimi-

nal trespass, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness charges against 24-year-old Ty-rone Squires over Tues-day night’s incident. Po-lice say Squires is from Massachusetts but has no permanent address.

Police say Squires lowered himself over a fence and onto the fi eld

during the bottom of the ninth inning dur-ing an Altoona Curve game against the Akron Aeros.

Ballpark security al-lowed him to walk slowly along the outfi eld warn-ing track and grabbed him as he exited near the Curve bullpen along the right fi eld line.

HIGH POINT – The High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau reported its fi rst monthly sales in-crease in more than a year at its meeting Wednesday and passed an unconventional event-booking incentive.

The bureau collected $90,327 in sales from the hotel room tax in February, up 5 percent from the same time last year when $86,071 was collected.

“This is the fi rst time in many months that we haven’t had red numbers,” said HPCVB treasurer Chris Greene. “That is a great blessing to the HPCVB because we have had to juggle our monies the last year and a half to make ends meet.”

The positive news is backlit by the fact that the bureau’s year-to-date income for the fi scal year at $899,794 is still down 14 percent from the same time last year. The

increase also follows an 18 percent decline in January when sales fell from $72,689 in 2009 to $59,724 this year. The January report was an-nounced at the monthly meeting because the bureau’s April meet-ing was canceled due to the High Point Market.

Greene also noted the HPCVB spent about $32,206 in adminis-trative costs in April, down from $42,058 in the same month last year. The decrease in spending was at-tributed to two vacant positions at the bureau that weren’t fi lled.

“We’ve really been tightening our belts,” she said.

A $10,000 event-booking incen-tive for the International Custom Rod Building Exposition, a fi shing rod trade show held in High Point for the last four years at Show-place, was approved by the bureau after some debate. The incentive won’t require event organizers to sign contracts with local hotels. The contracts usually guarantee that the show’s out-of-town attend-

ees will be staying in a High Point hotel.

Karen Wall, director of events, sales and operations at Showplace, said the organizer of the group didn’t want to sign contracts with hotels next year because hotels this year had contacted him re-questing payment for some rooms that weren’t fi lled during the show in February.

“I’m afraid we’re going to lose (the show) to Charlotte if this isn’t passed,” Wall said about he incen-tive. The show was held in Char-lotte for three years before coming to High Point.

Charlotte Young, HPCVB presi-dent, said it was not standard prac-tice to pass an incentive that didn’t include hotel contracts, but she also stressed the importance of the show, which brought 1,500 people to High Point this year with an economic impact of $440,805 on the city, according to HPCVB data.

ASHEBORO – The case of a young woman’s body found with partial cloth-ing in a wooded Asheboro area has been ruled as a homicide.

Police found the body of Shaunna Lyn Walley,

22, of Asheboro, Tuesday in some woods off Brewer Street in Asheboro. A preliminary autopsy re-port of the body led police to rule Walley’s death as a homicide after evidence of assault was discovered, WXII reported.

A passerby discovered

the partially naked body on Tuesday just off a path in the woods across the street from a park. Police have not yet said if the assault was sexual in na-ture.

It is also unknown how long the body had been there. Those interviewed

in the case said they had seen Walley as early as last Friday, according to WXII.

No suspects have been identifi ed in the death.

Anyone with infor-mation is asked to call Crimestoppers at 800-672-7463.

Hollow and City lakes and the Oak Hollow Family Campground.

Boynton said a 2 or 3 per-cent pay cut for city employ-ees is a possible alternative, but options are limited when revenue sources continue to shrink.

“We’ve cut things pretty drastically,” he said. “In the end, if you can’t put it on property tax, and it’s not coming in on sales tax, it falls to fees.”

Increasing the property tax rate of 63.3 cents per $100 valuation by 1.3 or 1.4 cents would provide the same amount of revenue as the garbage fee, offi cials said. Others pointed out that if sales tax revenues increase, such a measure might not be necessary.

“It’s a worst-case sce-nario,” said Mayor Becky Smothers.

The council also discussed the proposed elimination of 51 vacant city positions and

holding other positions va-cant through at least June30, 2011.

“Those include the policeand fi re departments, and ifthe economy turns around,we’re going to need to fundthem,” Boynton said. “Weneed them fi lled right now,we just don’t have the cashpaperwork.”

He said city departmentswere coping with the freezeby shifting responsibilitiesamong employees, chang-ing job titles and other mea-sures.

“I would venture to saythat every business in thecity has had to cut prettydrastically the last twoyears,” said CouncilmanJohn Faircloth. “We need tomake sure we’re recogniz-ing in the public sector theproblems that are happen-ing in the private sector, be-cause they’re the ones pay-ing the bills.”

HIGH POINT – When High Point was struck by ice storms during the winter of 2002-03, Chris Thompson sprang into action.

With downed trees and blocked roadways, Thomp-son, High Point’s public services director, quickly recruited members from other public services divi-sions, rallying crews to ensure roadways would be clear for emergency ve-hicles.

Thompson was offi cially recognized for these and other efforts in the city by being honored as one of the 2010 Top 10 Public Works Leaders of the Year.

Thompson received the award at the High Point City Council’s Monday meeting.

The award, sponsored by the American Public Works Association, recognizes out-standing individuals in the

public works fi eld across theU.S. and Canada. Both Gov.Bev Perdue and High PointMayor Becky Smothers pre-pared proclamations in hon-or of Thompson’s award.

The award coincides withthe 50th anniversary of Na-tional Public Works Week,which began Sunday andruns through Saturday. Theweek is a time to recognizethose in the communitywho operate public workssystems.

Smothers said Thompsonis “thorough and concise,”and “has handled some dif-fi cult public issues withpatience and respect for thepublic.”

Thompson attributes alarge part of the award tohis staff.

“One person doesn’t do allof the work alone,” he said.“The credit comes my waybecause I’m in charge, butcredit’s due to everyone onmy great staff.”

WILSON – Wilson Coun-ty Sheriff’s deputies and rescue personnel raced to a home on La Finca Road Tuesday night after neigh-bors reported an explosion.

Major John Farmer said the 911 call was received shortly before 8 p.m.

The home, located at 7716 La Finca Road, is owned by Christopher Brady Watson, according to Wilson County Tax records.

The street was illumi-nated by the strobe lights from law enforcement, fi re department trucks and Wil-son Rescue vehicles while neighbors stood in their yards assessing the scene

and trying to fi gure out what had happened. None of them wanted to be inter-viewed.

The garage on the white, one-and-a-half story home, located at 7716 La Finca Road, was heavily dam-aged. Large sections of the garage door could be seen in the middle and at the end of the driveway. Broken glass littered the area.

“One person is injured and has been airlifted to Pitt Memorial Hospital for treatment,” Farmer said.

He declined to release the name of the victim until all of the family was notifi ed. It wasn’t confi rmed whether the person transported to Greenville was the hom-eowner.

MOREHEAD CITY (AP) – The director of the state Division of Marine Fisheries says a settle-ment regarding the use of gill nets protects both gill net fi shing and sea turtles.

The Daily News of Jack-sonville reported that division director Louis Daniels said at a news conference Tuesday that gill net fi shing could have ended had the issue gone to court instead of being settled last week.

The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Reha-bilitation Center sued in February to protest the use of gill nets by coastal fi shermen.

RALEIGH (AP) – The state Senate gave tentative approval Wednesday to a nearly $19 billion plan to run North Carolina state government for the coming year that largely gave public education a break from the worst cuts at the expense of health care and other programs.

The chamber voted 32-17 in favor of a plan that closes what Demo-cratic leaders call a projected 4 percent revenue shortfall. All Democrats present joined three Republicans in support of the ad-justments rolled out on the fl oor only a week after the Legislature convened this year’s session.

Speakers used the word “pain” several times during the nearly two-hour debate about a budget that would trim expenses in doz-ens of agencies and reduce spend-ing in the Department of Health and Human Services by 9 percent compared to what had already been approved for the new year. Local school districts and the Uni-versity of North Carolina system also would receive authority to furlough teachers and other em-ployees to help avoid the potential loss of 1,600 jobs.

“No one wants to be furloughed,”

said Sen. A.B. Swindell, D-Nash, one of the Senate’s chief budget-writers, but “I promise that we will all feel our state’s pain.”

The Senate will give its fi nal ap-proval Thursday before sending

it to the House, whose leaders are aiming to get its version approved by June 3. It would give lawmakers roughly three weeks to negotiate a fi nal plan and send it to Democrat-ic Gov. Beverly Perdue before the new fi scal year begins July 1.

The budget would trim the sec-ond year of the two-year spend-ing plan approved last summer by nearly $600 million and spend $187 million less than Perdue’s budget offer last month. The changes are designed to narrow a projected budget gap of $800 million to $1 bil-lion caused by fl agging state rev-enues.

“We keep North Carolina soundfi scally,” said Sen. Linda Garrou,D-Forsyth, another budget-writer.

But Republicans contend thebudget actually increases govern-ment spending when compared toactual state spending for this yearwhen up to 5 percent was held backby Perdue. It also fails to preparethe state for the loss of more than$1 billion in stimulus funds in 2011by freezing spending at currentlevels, said Senate Minority Lead-er Phil Berger, R-Rockingham.

“They just put a Band-Aid on ableeding artery,” said Sen. BobRucho, R-Mecklenburg. “You’regoing to think this is Christmastime compared to what we’ll befacing.”

Still, GOP Sens. Fletcher Hartsellof Cabarrus County, Stan Binghamof Davidson County and RichardStevens of Wake County voted forthe budget bill. The three voted forthe Senate’s version of the budgetlast year, too.

Overall, the public schools wouldsee a 3 percent reduction, or about$219 million less to a budget of $7.1billion. The Senate plan doesn’teliminate a requirement thatschool districts locate another $80million in cuts.

Senate gives $19 billion budget tentative OK

There would be no pay raises for teachers and other state employees for a second straight year.

6 killed by car bomb south of BaghdadBAGHDAD – A car bomb exploded in front of a

restaurant killing six people south of Baghdad on Wednesday, Iraqi offi cials said, highlighting the frag-ile nature of Iraq’s security.

The bomb in the mixed Sunni-Shiite town comes as the country enters its third month without a new government, raising concerns that violence will rise as political disputes spill out into the streets.

Anger prompts Pakistan to block FacebookLAHORE, Pakistan – Pakistan’s government or-

dered Internet service providers to block Facebook on Wednesday amid anger over a page that encourages users to post images of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

The page on the social networking site has generat-ed criticism in Pakistan and elsewhere because Islam prohibits any images of the prophet. The government took action after a group of Islamic lawyers won a court order Wednesday requiring offi cials to block Facebook until May 31.

Bangkok in fl ames after army storms campBANGKOK – Buildings blazed across central

Bangkok early today, torched by rioters after army troops routed anti-government protesters to end a two-month siege.

The government quelled most of the violence in Bangkok but not the underlying political divisions that caused it, and unrest spread to northern parts of Thailand. At least six people were killed in clashes that followed the army’s storming of the protest camp Wednesday.

Kyrgyzstan declares state of emergencyBISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan – Several thousand people

tried to storm a university in Kyrgyzstan on Wednes-day in a burst of ethnic violence that left at least 2 people dead and more than 70 wounded, prompting the interim government to call a local state of emergency.

Witnesses in the southern town of Jalal-Abad said thousands of ethnic Kyrgyz advanced on the private university that serves as the center of the minority Uzbek community.

Iran rejects UN sanctions resolution draftTEHRAN, Iran – Iran on Wednesday dismissed as

“illegitimate” a draft U.N. Security Council resolu-tion seeking to impose harsher sanctions against Tehran for its refusal to halt uranium enrichment.

Mojtaba Hashemi Samareh, a top adviser to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said the draft pro-posed by the U.S. was a reactionary response to a deal in which Iran agreed to ship much of its low-enriched uranium to Turkey.

Passengers in cockpit before Kaczynski crashMOSCOW – At least two passengers visited the cock-

pit of Polish President Lech Kaczynski’s plane before it crashed last month, and others may have chatted on cell phones, possibly affecting navigation as the crew battled heavy fog over challenging terrain.

Those were among the details revealed Wednesday by Russian and Polish offi cials investigating the April 10 crash that killed Kaczynski, his wife and 94 others outside the western Russian city of Smolensk.

Diplomat: ’Obvious’ North Korea sank shipSEOUL, South Korea – North Korea is clearly re-

sponsible for the sinking of a South Korean navy ship and there is suffi cient evidence to take the issue to the United Nations, South Korea’s top diplomat said Wednesday.

Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan’s comments came a day before the release of a report on the incident and are the fi rst by a South Korean offi cial clearly saying North Korea was behind it. Asked later by reporters if North Korea sank the Cheonan, Yu replied, “I think it’s obvious.”

1,500 Haitians to be evicted from propertyNASSAU, Bahamas – An estimated 1,500 Haitians

are to be evicted from a cluster of overcrowded shacks on a Bahamian island east of Miami, leaving residents and the government to wonder where the community will settle next.

Eviction notices were issued because a new owner took over the 5-acre property on Abaco Island that has housed the Haitian community for more than 30 years.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – The moth-ers of three jailed Americans brought appeals for their freedom to Iran Wednesday on a mission that could be complicated by dip-lomatic showdowns over Iran’s nuclear program.

The women are scheduled to visit their children – who have been held since July when they were arrested along the Iraqi border – and seek meetings with Iranian offi cials. Iran’s state-run Press TV said week-long visas had been granted on an “Islamic humanitarian basis.”

Nora Shourd, Cindy Hickey and Laura Fattal wore long black heads-carves as they left their fl ight from Dubai at Tehran’s main internation-al airport south of the capital. They passed through routine customs and passport checks as well being fi nger-printed – a requirement imposed on Americans in retaliation for U.S. immigration controls on Iranians.

They were met by envoys from the Swiss Embassy, which represents U.S. interests in Iran, and taken in embassy vehicles from the airport.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – Taliban insurgents armed with rockets, gre-nades and suicide vests stormed the giant U.S.-run Bagram Air Field before dawn Wednesday, triggering an eight-hour fi refi ght that killed an American contractor and at least 10 attackers and wounded nine U.S. service members.

As troops and contrac-tors huddled in secure bunkers, the militants fi red their weapons over American defenses into the base, according to Maj. Virginia McCabe, a spokeswoman for U.S. forces at Bagram. White smoke could be seen ris-ing from the garrison as

U.S. attack helicopters whirred overhead.

It was the second ma-jor Taliban assault in the Kabul area in as many days, breaking a nearly three-month lull in insur-gent attacks around the Afghan capital. Eighteen people, including fi ve U.S. soldiers and a Cana-dian colonel, were killed Tuesday in a suicide car bombing in Kabul.

Those brazen assaults underscore the mili-tants’ ability to strike at the heart of the U.S.-led mission and appear part of a new Taliban offen-sive against NATO forc-es, foreign diplomats, contractors and Afghan government offi cials.

HAVANA (AP) – U.S and Cuban offi cials are holding “working level” talks on how to respond to the massive Deepwater Horizon oil spill that is believed to be dumping some 5,000 barrels of crude a day into the Gulf of Mexico, two State Department offi cials told The Asso-ciated Press on Wednes-day.

The talks add to signs of concern that strong currents could carry the slick far from the site of the spill, possibly threatening the Florida Keys and the pristine white beaches along Cuba’s northern coast.

They are also a rare moment of cooperation between two countries locked in confl ict for more than half a cen-tury.

“I can confi rm that they are ongoing and going on at the work-ing level,” State De-partment Spokesman Gordon Duguid told re-porters in Washington.

POLICE RAID: Shooting death raises questions about reality TV. 6B

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Motorists jumped from vehicles to kick open doors and help about two dozen third-graders out of a blazing school bus that had stalled on a busy freeway Wednesday near Universal Studios Hol-lywood, authorities and witnesses said.

Two children com-plained of minor smoke

inhalation and were ex-amined by paramedics, but the driver and other youngsters were not in-jured. The 8- and 9-year-olds from Flory Academy in Moorpark were on a fi eld trip headed for the California Science Cen-ter near downtown Los Angeles.

The bus stalled in the southbound lanes of U.S.

Highway 101 just be-fore 9 a.m. and quickly erupted in fl ames. Fire spokesman Erik Scott said it took fi refi ghters 11 minutes to extinguish the fi re, which witnesses claim started in the front and gutted the bus.

Third-grader Michael Daley described a chaotic scene of screaming chil-dren and heavy smoke.

He said the adults opened windows and the back door to let the smoke out before quickly deciding to leave.

“Kind of scared me be-cause the driver was still up there, and I thought he was going to die,” the boy told KTLA-TV.

The California High-way Patrol is investigat-ing the cause of the fi re.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Joe Sestak had barely won the Democratic nod to run for U.S. Senate be-fore he pledged to begin the next campaign with-in a matter of hours.

Sestak, a second-term congressman from sub-urban Philadelphia and a former Navy admiral, will face off against Re-publican nominee Pat Toomey in a campaign expected to focus on wal-lets, pocketbooks and kitchen tables from op-

posite ends of the politi-cal spectrum.

The fall campaign was set up by Sestak’s victory over fi ve-term U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter on Tues-day, as Democratic voters picked the candidate who had bucked party leaders to challenge the Republi-can-turned-Democrat.

The vote also was a de-feat for President Barack Obama, whose support Specter received when he abandoned the Repub-lican Party last year.

ROBERT, La. (AP) – Federal scientists said Wednesday that a small portion of the oil slick from the blown-out well in the Gulf of Mexico has reached a powerful cur-rent that could take it to Florida.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-tion scientists said they have detected light to very light sheens in the loop current, which cir-culates into the Gulf and takes water south to the Florida Keys and the Gulf Stream.

The agency says that any oil would be “highly weathered” and could evaporate before reach-ing Florida. And it might never reach the state at all. But scientists said di-luted oil could appear in isolated locations if per-sistent winds push the

current toward Florida.The Coast Guard an-

nounced Wednesday thattar balls washing ashorein the Florida Keys werenot from the Gulf spill,but that did little tosoothe fears the oil couldspread damage along thecoast from Louisiana toFlorida.

The U.S. and Cuba wereholding talks on how torespond to the spill, U.S.State Department spokes-man Gordon Duguid said,underscoring worriesabout the oil reachingthe loop current and be-ing carried to the FloridaKeys and the pristinewhite beaches of Cuba’snorthern coast.

BP said Wednesday ithopes to begin shooting amixture known as drillingmud into the blown-outwell in the Gulf of Mexicoearly next week.

As I travel from place to place, I hear expressions of frustration with the direction our country is being taken. One of the questions most often asked is, “How did we get here?

As I contemplate this question, I remember some of what may have contributed to where we are now. It may have started before the 1960s, but I believe it started with the fl ower children, Timo-thy Leary, Dr. Spock, Women’s Lib, the ACLU and the education system, which contributed to the deterioration of family and moral values, and eroded responsibility and accountability.

Our schools abandoned prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, dress codes, prohibited discipline when needed and became institutions for indoctrination of our children into a selfi sh, undisciplined “the government owes me” society.

Some of our churches now preach situational sermons to fi t a “whatever feels good” attitude rather than adherence to righ-teousness.

Government continues to change the meaning of our Con-

stitution by appointing liberal judges whose rulings aim to legis-late rather than interpret the law. We caved in to acceptance. We vote for the same legislators time after time regardless how they twist in the wind, or worse, we do not vote at all. The voter turnout in the primaries was pathetic.

We have surrendered to politi-cal correctness and are made to feel guilty to keep silent. Our ad-ministration promotes the false-hood that we can buy love from other countries by being weak. We allowed God to be removed from public places because it may offend a few. We accepted right for wrong and wrong for right and allowed our nation to be terror-ized into submission by special interest groups.

Can this be reversed? Perhaps with leaders who are ethical, godly and who will not surrender. Joel Osteen once said, “We never change what we tolerate.”

We should return Lindsay

Davis to Superior Court bench

Greensboro is so fortunate that Judge Lindsay Davis is seeking re-election! Davis has been a Superior Court Judge in North Carolina for the last nine years. During that time, he has served on the North Carolina Pattern

Jury Instructions Committee, and he has presided over hundreds of criminal and civil trials.

As a judge, he is fair and even-handed, and a pleasure to have on the Superior Court bench. Prior to becoming a Superior Court judge, Davis practiced law in Greensboro from 1971 until 2001. Likewise, he has participated in Leadership Greensboro and the Special Olympics, both honor-able organizations. He is also a member of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. Greensboro is at a dis-tinct advantage in that Davis has chosen to fi le for re-election in the hopes of continuing to serve us.

YOUR VIEW---

K ids say the darnedest things.That’s how you know they’re kids.

Their fondness for rash overstate-ment is part and parcel of a stage of life characterized by impulsiveness and an un-shakable faith in one’s own righteousness.

The challenge for schools is to balance kids’ impetuousness against their right of free speech. As any parent can attest, sometimes you have to protect kids from themselves. But if you overprotect them, how do they ever learn to use their rights responsibly?

That question brings us to Morgan Hill, Calif., where several boys recently decided to wear American fl ag T-shirts to Live Oak High School. It may sound innocuous, but it wasn’t. See, the boys, some of whom are Mexican-American, did this on May 5 – Cinco de Mayo, as their classmates (nearly 40 percent of whom are reported to be La-tino) were celebrating that Mexican holiday, some even wearing the red, white and green of the Mexican fl ag. Moreover, they did it in the context of a contentious national debate over illegal immigration from Mexico.

In that context, on that date and in that place, the decision to wear those shirts was not innocent, but, rather, a calculated provocation. Assistant Principal Miguel Ro-driguez, calling the shirts “incendiary” and fearing a fi ght, asked the students to either take the shirts off or turn them inside out. When several of the boys refused, he sent them home.

Ironically, it is the decision itself that has proven incendiary. The school district disavows it and conservative critics have lambasted it as un-American. They’re right.

At least, I think they are; the Supreme Court has been less than defi nitive in setting the boundaries of free speech for students. In 1969, it sided with three kids suspended from school for wearing black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War, ruling that they could not be prohibited from expressing their opinions if they did not interfere with the operation of the school or the rights of others.

Subsequent courts have edged away from that affi rmation of relatively unfettered rights, allowing schools to ban sexually

explicit student speech in one ruling, and speech that seems to promote illegal drug use in another.

Still, it is hard to see this latest incident as anything but an abridgement of those students’ First Amendment rights – not to mention an act of glaring hypocrisy. By what reasoning does Rodriguez ban red, white and blue while per-mitting red, white and green? All that said, though, neither

of those complaints addresses what seems to me the most regrettable aspect of this affair. Namely, the fact that this educator missed a teachable moment.

Imagine if Rodriguez had corralled the most articulate of the T-shirt boys and the Cinco de Mayo celebrators and required them to research and represent their points of view in a formal debate before the entire school. The T-shirt kid could have chal-lenged his classmate to explain why he felt the need, if he is an American, to celebrate a foreign holiday. The classmate could have pressed the T-shirt kid on why he felt threatened by a simple acknowledgment of heritage and cultural origin.

Maybe they reach an understanding, may-be they don’t. But in any event they learn a valuable lesson: that reasonable people rea-son their way through disagreements. And that the First Amendment confers not just a right to speak your piece, but an obligation to allow the other guy to do the same.

Instead, Miguel Rodriguez taught the opposite lesson: that it is OK to ban the un-popular or provocative opinion. Few things could be less refl ective of American ideals.

See, there is no constitutional right to never be offended. Someone should explain that to the students of Live Oak High. And their assistant principal could stand a re-fresher course, too.

F ortunately, only minor injuries resulted when the Amtrak Piedmont, on its way to High Point and Charlotte, collided with

a truck that had gotten stuck on the tracks in Mebane last Thursday. From early reports that morning, the incident sounded like it was a ma-jor disaster in the making.

The accident’s proximity to a Mebane fi re station may have helped avert a more serious injury toll, and we’re glad that was the case. But this accident only serves to reinforce our view that signifi cant improvements are need-ed, and needed immediately, to the rail corri-dor through central North Carolina that in just a few years will be carrying high-speed trains along the eastern seaboard.

Last week’s accident occurred after a low-hanging trailer got stuck on the crown of a street-crossing of the track. Similar examples of such crossings have existed along the line for years, although some are being closed be-cause of their obvious design hazard. But po-tentially more dangerous, although structural hazards are less a problem, are crossings such as the Hoskins Street crossing in High Point.

The Hoskins Street crossing is an example of numerous locations along the line where busy crossings must be modifi ed to accommodate the needs of high-speed rail but at the same time continue to provide the community with the convenience of access to each side of the tracks. In other locations, crossings will need to be closed to increase safety. And in some cases, those decisions will not be easy.

In no way, however, can this accident be used as an argument for slowing the pursuit of a high-speed rail system of transportation. The United States is behind much of the world in that, and an effi cient, long-distance, high-speed passenger system is needed. Work toward it must go on.

OUR MISSION---The High Point Enterprise is committed to

this community ... and always will serve it by being an intensely local newspaper of excellent quality every day.

OUR VIEW---

A QUICK THOUGHT---

L exington’s Cal Cunningham ran a strong second in the May 4 Democratic primary race for the U.S. Senate nomination, cap-

turing 27 percent of the vote in the multicandi-date race. However, his goal to win the June 22 runoff by beating the frontrunner, N.C. Secre-tary of State Elaine Marshall (36 percent), got tougher Wednesday when third-place fi nisher Ken Lewis (17 percent) endorsed Marshall. But the key to winning the June 22 runoff will be which candidate can energize enough support-ers to pay another visit to the polls.

H ave you heard about the lat-est craze to hit elementary schools across the country?

Today’s kid fad is silicone brace-lets called Silly Bandz. Sold in packs of 12 for about $3 and packs of 24 for about $6, they come in theme packs: animals, princesses, alphabet, dogs or sea creatures, just to name a few.

They are popular with boys and girls alike, and kids stack them on their wrists and trade them. Some even glow in the dark! On a kid’s wrist, they look like brightly colored rubber bands, but laid on a table for inspection, they revert to their original shape. (Don’t ask me how. They just do.)

Silly Bandz are a product of BCP (Brainchild Products) Imports of Birmingham, Ala., and were fi rst marketed late last year. The inter-esting thing is that no advertising dollars have been spent on them. Word about Silly Bandz has spread exclusively by word of mouth and, of course, the Internet. There is a Facebook page with more than 83,000 fans and counting, and there is a whole genre of videos on You-Tube in which kids show off their collections.

Their appeal lies in their com-bination of being affordable, collectible and tradable. In fact, I saw BCP Imports and Silly Bandz owner, Robert Croak, on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric just last week. He said the bands are the perfect “recession craze” because of their affordability.

The idea for these silicone bracelets originated in China with shaped silicone offi ce products. A handful of competing manufactur-ers are now making and marketing them as fast as young folks and their parents can scoop them up!

It has only been in the last few weeks that I have noticed students wearing Silly Bandz around my elementary school. It really is so interesting how they can stretch around the wrist and then revert to their special shape.

So this past Sunday was my second-grade granddaughter, Deanna’s, 8th birthday, and she asked if we could try to locate a pack of Silly Bandz for her. In case

you are looking, too, I can save you some time – no one in HighPoint has them right now. They are out of stock and on order atWalgreen’s, Barnes and Noble and Christie’s Hallmark shop at Oak Hollow Mall.

There is one loca-tion, however, if you are willing to drive a bit, where you can

fi nd more Silly Bandz than a whole elementary school could ever wear!That place is Toys & Co. at Friend-ly Center in Greensboro. Deanna and I took a Sunday afternoon drive there, and I could not believe it! There were shoulder-to-shoul-der kids and their parents around rack after rack of Silly Bandz, all trying to fi nd just the right ones! Deanna picked a pack with dogs and a pack with sea creatures, bothof which glow in the dark!

Deanna was thrilled with our purchase and excited to wear her new acquisition to school on Mon-day. When I called her Monday evening (I wanted to be sure she did not get into trouble with them, for one thing), she said that she traded three of hers to another girl for three that were multicolored.

An April New York Times articleon the Silly Bandz phenomena said that they have already been banned in some school districts which has only fueled the craze “like a fi ve-gallon can of gasoline on a campfi re.” Sean McGowan, ananalyst who tracks the toy indus-try, said that in this high-tech era when children want iPods and iPads and Wii games, it’s refresh-ing to see something as simple as this get their attention.

Like baseball cards or Beanie Ba-bies of past years, the Silly Bandz craze will be fun while it lasts and not so expensive, either. Now where is the harm in that? Just keep them on your wrists, kids!

PAULA GULLEDGE WILLIAMS lives in High Point and teaches at Pilot Elementary School in Greensboro. Her columns appear on this page every other Thursday.

I was in graduate school in the 1990s. The debate in the English depart-

ment was about multicul-turalism. Was it better to teach the white male Shakespeare or the black woman Toni Morrison? Academe was consider-ing other voices. Multi-culturalism was a fresh movement. At the time, it seemed that nothing could surpass the white male’s viewpoint.

Barack Obama’s election ushered in the real era of multiculturalism. It was fi nally OK to be an African-American in power. All different races and creeds benefi ted from his rise to power.

For the fi rst time in his-tory, diverse groups were no longer marginalized. Varied race was a good thing, showing Americans progress in the civil and human rights areas.

I suggest that multicul-turalism’s time is bor-rowed. White males in Western red states almost installed Obama in the White House. They gave him money in the pri-maries, thinking that he would be the weaker candi-date against a Republican. They crossed over, making way for a black presiden-tial candidate. Only he was not supposed to win, only be a thorn for Democrats.

The deep-pocketed Republicans played a terrifi c role in elect-ing Barack Obama to the presidency. They seem to regret their efforts and want their clout back.

The backlash is begin-ning. Arizona’s new immi-gration law is an ominous portent for minorities; the law tells about the future of race relations in America. People of color are now suspects, presumed to be operating outside the law. They are thought to be rascals.

People of color are out of the mainstream of Ameri-can life; they are now returned to the margins. Arizona’s immigration law means the re-emergence of hegemony or white male dominance. On the sur-face, it is a way to deal with illegal immigrants, but its actual ramifi cation spans race relations. The Arizona law is an opportunity for former abuses.

The Arizona legislature also banned the teaching of ethnic studies in the public schools.

Sarah Palin is touring the country and promot-

ing Arizona’s new law. She insists that the Tea Party activists do not need to fuss about “the political middle.” Palin assures her followers that “the middle will come to them” in the end. Really? That’s a big concern. A victorious Tea Party is cause to worry. Comprised of mostly up-per-middle-class, white males, a winning Tea Party will set race relations back years. And we cannot imagine an America so committed to undermining multiculturalism and so intent on securing rights for one group.

Tea Partiers are no longer harmless activ-ists. They are too radical, increasingly slanted. They are also mainly Republi-can. While the GOP asserts the power of “no,” Sarah Palin goes on record for a highly controversial law and says that America will follow her lead.

I say the time has come to question the Tea Party’s racial stances. Give no legitimacy when there is not a belief in equality for everyone. Let “the mid-dle” not be swayed from bigotry. American race relations have come too far to turn back to lesser ways and past troubles.

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Mo-torcycles are set to rumble through Randolph County as part of Communities In Schools of Randolph Coun-ty’s fi fth annual “Readin’, Writin’, and Ridin’ ” poker run on Saturday.

Organizers of the poker run say the event will help a good cause while offering fellowship for the bikers.

Participants, accom-panied by the Randolph County Sheriff’s Offi ce motorcycle unit, will de-part from Archdale-Trin-ity Middle School at 10 a.m., riding to local stops in Randolph County and returning to Guil-Rand Fire Department around 3 p.m. Registration for the event will be at 9 a.m.

“It’s a fundraiser for us,” said Sandi Norman, director of Communities In Schools of Randolph County. “We hope it will raise awareness of Com-munities In Schools and what we do to serve kids in Randolph County. We hope that it will be a beau-

tiful day and lots of people come out for a ride.”

In a traditional poker run, participants drive their motorcycles along the route and receive cards at stops along the way. The best poker hand at the end of the route is the winner. In CIS’ version, not only do motorcycles participate in the event, cars follow-

ing bikers receive cards as well.

Frank Crotts, the former assistant fi re chief at Guil-Rand Fire Department, has helped organize the event from its beginning. The Guil-Rand Fire De-partment is co-sponsoring the event for the fi fth time this year.

“Hopefully, we will have

a large turnout and raise money for CIS,” Crotts said. “I invite everybody out to have fun, fellowship and raise money.”

All proceeds from the ride and a raffl e, which includes a 52-inch fl at screen television and a 10-inch Toshiba notebook, will go to Communities In Schools of Randolph

County to help local stu-dents.

Norman hopes the event will raise about $10,000 for her nonprofi t, which is in great need of funds. “The need is greater than ever before and donations are down,” she said. “We need this more than ever before.”

GUILFORD COUNTY – It could be a done deal.

Although school district leaders appeared to win support Tuesday from the Guilford County Board of Commissioners on how to spend $34 million in federal stimulus bond funds, a fi nal vote could come tonight.

Last August, commissioners ap-proved using at least the fi rst $17.1 million installment to help pay off school construction projects on the 2008 bond list. School district lead-ers want to use the second $16.8 million 2010 allotment for mainte-nance and repairs.

At a workshop Tuesday, the

school board appeared to get the six votes from the commission-ers needed to approve the second installment for repairs and main-tenance.

“We have the list of needs, and we should do this,” said at-large

Commissioner John Parks of High Point.

Commissioners will meet at 5:30 p.m. in the Old Courthouse.

County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox wanted to roll all the money into one package for bond-funded projects to save on debt interest. Commissioners targeted the fi rst installment to help pay off up-grades planned for Allen Middle School and Grimsley High School that were included on the $457 mil-lion 2008 construction bond proj-ects list.

County offi cials have estimated that using the fi rst allotment on the 27-project list could save tax-payers $6 million in interest and the second allotment $5 million.

“This would be new money,” said Board of Commissioners Chairman Skip Alston. “We’d have to pay interest on the princi-pal if we used the money for repair projects.”

The most expensive district ren-

ovations on the 2010 list are heat-ing and air conditioning upgrades at Ferndale Middle School, at $2.4 million, Northeast Middle School at $1.5 million and Penn-Griffi n School for the Arts at $1.2 million.

“We have more needs to go be-yond this list,” said Superinten-dent Mo Green.

Also included on the list are door, window and roof replace-ments at several schools.

“We should get this money for re-pairs,” said Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point.

“We have so many needs,” said Commissioner Kirk Perkins. “The $4 million we give the school board each year is not adequate.”

Commissioners Linda Shaw, Mike Winstead and Billy Yow also said they supported spending the 2010 allotment for repairs.

“This is the better way to spend the money,” Yow said.


Repair bond vote possible tonightAT A GLANCE–Bonds: The low-interest Quali-fi ed School Construction Bonds were authorized by the federal government through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Proceeds must be used for the construc-tion, rehabilitation or repair of public school facilities or the acquisition of land for a school building.

Spending: School districts have three years to spend the money.

HIGH POINT – The city will be conducting routine mainte-nance on its water system over the next two weeks, and while there’s a possibility some resi-dents may be affected, the im-pact should be minimal, accord-ing to the city’s public services director.

Starting Monday and lasting through May 28, the city will be inspecting elevated water stor-

age tanks. In a release issued this week, city officials warned that some areas of the city may experience reduced water pres-sure or discolored water.

“These cleanings and inspec-tions are periodical and are a part of our routine and normal mainte-nance,” said Public Services Direc-tor Chris Thompson, adding that with the fl ushing and draining of the tanks, discolored water is a possibility. However, he doubts many residents will notice much change in water pressure or color.

The water storage tanks are being completely drained and re-fi lled. Thompson said the pipes are not often used for that amount of water, and the pressure of the water created by the draining and refi lling could cause the discolor-ation.

He said that the quality of the water is fi ne, adding that the city’s high-service pumps should help ensure the upkeep of water pressure in households during the maintenance. Thompson add-ed that “residents shouldn’t see

the effects of the maintenance; the elevated storage tanks are mainly used to supply fi re sta-tions.”

The Lexington tank at Centen-nial and Hamilton streets is being tested this week. Next week, the Ward tank on Prospect Street will see the same maintenance.

Residents who experience re-duced water pressure or discol-ored water are asked to report the problems by calling (336) 888-3111.

RALEIGH (AP) – For-mer U.S. Senate can-didate Ken Lewis on Wednesday endorsed campaign rival Elaine Marshall in her runoff for the Democratic nomi-nation in North Carolina and chided the party’s leadership for meddling in the process.

Lewis said he was particularly impressed with the conviction and courage shown by Mar-shall, North Carolina’s secretary of state, even as Democratic offi cials in Washington put their support behind the other remaining candidate, Cal Cunningham. He praised Marshall for her ability to organize grass roots support and to ap-peal to a broad range of voters.

“I believe that to win this fall, Democrats will have to do both,” Lewis said, as Marshall and her supporters stood nearby. “And Secretary Marshall provides us with a demonstrably stronger opportunity to do just that.”

The endorsement pro-vides a key push for Marshall, who didn’t win enough votes earlier this month to oust Cun-ningham. They now face a June 22 runoff. Lewis fi nished third, carrying 17 percent of voters.

The Chapel Hill attor-ney spent much of his

campaign casting him-self as a political rookie who would be the best agent for change. Though largely cordial during the primary campaign, he pushed that message as a way to distance him-self from Cunningham and Marshall.

“We can’t change a broken Senate simply by sending career poli-ticians to Washington,” Lewis said during a March forum.

Lewis said during Wednesday’s news con-ference that he has since had more conversations with Marshall and be-lieves she will be able to lead in Washington. He continued to pound on a message of insider politics by questioning the role the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee played in re-cruiting Cunningham instead of letting North Carolina voters choose a candidate, declaring that they had been “trying to exercise undue infl u-ence in our nominating process.”

Lewis said there is a view among some voters that a candidate needs to be anointed by the com-mittee.

“That is moving the perception of power from the people to Washington insiders,” Lewis said in an interview. “I’m con-cerned about that.”

Former rival Lewis endorses Marshall

LONDON (AP) – John Shepherd-Barron, the Scotsman credited with inventing the world’s first automatic cash machine, has died after a short illness. He was 84.

Shepherd-Barron died peacefully in northern Scotland’s Raigmore Hospital on Saturday, funeral director Alas-dair Rhind said Wednes-day.

S h e p h e r d - B a r r o n once said that he came up with the idea of the cash dispensers after being locked out of his bank. He also said that his invention was in-spired by chocolate vending machines.

“It struck me there must be a way I could get my own money, any-where in the world or the U.K.,” he said in an

interview with the BBC in 2007. “I hit upon the idea of a chocolate bar dispenser, but replacing chocolate with cash.”

The first automatic teller machine, now known as ATMs, was installed at a branch of Barclays Plc in a north London suburb on June 27, 1967.

Plastic bank cards had not been invented yet, so Shepherd-Barron’s machine used special checks that were chem-ically coded. Custom-ers placed the checks in a drawer, and after entering a personal identification number, a second drawer would spring open with a 10 pound note.

S h e p h e r d - B a r r o n originally planned to make personal identi-fication numbers six

digits long, but cut thenumber to four afterhis wife Caroline com-plained that six was toomany.

“Over the kitchen ta-ble, she said she couldonly remember four fig-ures, so because of her,four figures became theworld standard,” he toldthe BBC.

There are now morethan 1.7 million ATMsacross the globe, ac-cording to the ATM In-dustry Association.

Shepherd-Barron wasawarded an Offi cers ofthe Order of the BritishEmpire, or OBE, for hisservices to banking in 2004— 40 years after his inven-tion.

He was survived by hiswife, three sons and sixgrandchildren, Rhind saidin a death notice in TheScotsman newspaper.

Friendships met halfway can survive separation

D ear Abby: I can empathize with “Deeply Hurt in

Arizona” (March 16), who travels back to her hometown to see her large extended family and struggles to make time for her longtime friend “Judith,” who nonethe-less feels slighted.

My husband and I grew up in the Northeast but now live out of state. We have fl own hundreds of miles with our children to visit our families back there. Once we arrived, it seemed we were expected to continue traveling from town to town to do all the visiting. It became very stressful.

These people made little effort to visit us in our state or even come to our “base” while we were in their area. While “Hurt” visits her elderly parents, Judith appears to be sitting around wait-ing for her and making little effort. Why doesn’t Judith go to the parents’ home? Or, better yet, have a girls’ weekend in Arizona or somewhere in between?

We have gotten past our irritation with family and friends and do two things: 1. We tell people in advance when we’re coming so they can make plans. Groups – especially friends – can double up, and see us and see each other. 2. We use our time the way we want and not the way we feel we are obligated to.

“Hurt” should urge Judith to try to come to her. The road goes both ways. – Worked It Out In Alpharetta, Ga.

Dear Worked It Out: Thank you for writing. The scenario in “Hurt’s” letter hit a nerve with a

number of readers. Read on:

Dear Abby: When my kids visit from out of state, I have an open house so the family can come to one

place and spend time with them. This gives my kids more time to visit with me and any special friends they may want to see. It also lessens the guilt of not being able to see ev-eryone. This has worked well for us, and now the family expects me to do it every time the kids come back. – Diana in Ohio

Dear Abby: I agree that Judith is selfi sh and immature. I have friends all over the U.S., and when they come to visit, I understand that most of their time will be spent with family.

Judith needs to grow up and realize that not ev-erything revolves around her. Instead of complain-ing about the lack of time “Hurt” has for her, Judith should make the most of the time she does get to spend. – Shellie in Indiana

Dear Abby: There may be a crisis in Judith’s life that she is displacing onto “Hurt.” When the emotions around that crisis calm, she will need her old friend. Is there anyone in town who could fi nd out what is going on?

I knew a woman who cut everyone out of her life in a rage after the betrayal of an assault by a loved one. Another

person did the same thing after a cancer diagnosis. Once the shock faded and they began to deal with their issues, they con-fi ded in their old friends about what was really happening and were able to reconnect. – Susan in Centerville, Ohio

Dear Abby: Our family moved two hours away to make a better life for our kids. With a newborn in tow, we spent the entire fi rst summer traveling home to visit family and friends.

My best friend came to see us once in the fi rst year after our move. Recently she told me that because I moved away, we no longer have any-thing in common and that “maybe we would cross paths again – someday.”

It hit me like a ton of bricks, but I have chosen to move on. If our paths were meant to cross again, they would not have split in the fi rst place. – Angela in Wash-ington State

Dear Abby: Was the only time Judith heard from “Hurt” when she had a few precious mo-ments for Judith? If one person has to do all the communicating, perhaps it isn’t a true friendship – and that is what Judith was trying to say.

The art of communica-tion and caring is dying. Hey folks: Friendship is a two-way street. – Been There, Too, in Pennsyl-vania DEAR ABBY is written by Abi-gail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

CAROLINAS, ABBY

BY DAVID NIVENSENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – County offi cials will consider tonight an agree-ment aimed at reclaiming construction sales taxes on school projects.

North Carolina is one of only six states requir-ing school districts to pay a state sales tax on most purchases. The sales tax also applies to construc-tion projects.

State law allows coun-ties to claim a refund of

any sales taxes on mate-rials and other goods that go into building projects. School districts shared that status until 2005,

when the General Assem-bly took it away.

The proposal under con-sideration by the Guilford County Board of Commis-

sioners would allow the school district to own the schools but lease the prop-erty to the county, which now owns it. The schools would be the agent for the county for school construc-tion, and award all school construction contracts on the county’s behalf.

Guilford County Board of Education Chairman Alan Duncan told the school board earlier this month that the N. C. Department of Revenue has ruled that if a school board leases property to the county, and

the county then returns to the district authorization to construct a building on that property, the county could reclaim the state sales tax.

“We have had to pay millions in sales taxes though the years,” Dun-can said.

Durham County offi -cials approved a similar agreement this year.

In other business, com-missioners probably will accept a $7.4 million bid from Greensboro Auto Auction for the 29-acre

Evergreens Senior HealthCare property on Wendo-ver Avenue adjoining thecompany’s 232-acre site.The item is listed on aconsent agenda.

The county put theproperty on the marketafter the managing resi-dential health care pro-viders decided to movetheir clients to new sites.GAA offered the ap-praised property value,and there were no report-ed upset bids.

RALEIGH (AP) – The former mayor of ex-Gov. Mike Easley’s hometown and Easley’s one-time aide visited the federal courthouse where a grand jury interested in activi-ties surrounding North Carolina’s former chief executive was scheduled to meet.

Multiple media reports said former Southport Mayor Norman Holden entered the courthouse Wednesday morning. He declined to comment when leaving in the after-noon.

Holden used to serveas a liaison between theDepartment of Transpor-tation and southeasterncounties when Easley wasgovernor. A federal sub-poena sent to DOT askedfor documents related tohis employment arrange-ment. The subpoena saidthe grand jury was meet-ing Wednesday throughFriday.

The News & Observer ofRaleigh also reported for-mer Easley adviser SusanRabon visited the court-house and left with her at-torney without comment.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina legislators des-perate to show they’re doing all they can to boost job creation are of-fering small businesses new tax breaks and other help to try to stimulate new hiring.

“We need to do every-thing we can to create jobs,” said Rep. Bill Ow-ens, D-Pasquotank. “We can’t do enough this year to create jobs.”

A state House commit-tee on Wednesday ap-proved what its sponsor, House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman, called the General Assembly’s fi rst broad attempt to juice job creation by small businesses. The package could cost the state about $80 million over three years, after which the job-creation tax credits expire, ac-cording to estimates by legislative fi scal ana-lysts.

The plan would allow businesses with 25 full-time employees or fewer to take a $1,000 tax credit for every job created and kept for three years. Businesses also could get a $250 tax break to help pay the health benefi ts of each employee earning less than $40,000.

The legislation would expand a tax break for investors in small busi-nesses. Lawmakers also would devote $2.9 million next year to three state programs that provide loans to small companies in rural areas, provide confi dential business coaching, and make it easier to get federal tech-nology grants.

with tax breaks

SALES TAXES—Agreement: The so-called interlocal agreement would deed all school property to the schools, which would immediately lease it back to the county. New schools would be added through a lease addition.

Taxes: The combined state and local sales tax is 7.75 percent in Guilford County. The state portion is as much as 5.75 percent.

T his past year I have experienced a physical chal-

lenge that has had a profound infl uence on the way I view aging.

Like many old ath-letes, I have entered the “payback zone” in which all those injuries I accumulated over the

years are now com-ing back to roost.

This summer I will have double knee re-placement surgery, which I am told comes with a warranty

that should be good for another 20 years.

I’ve tried to be philo-sophical about it all, as I really have had a great time getting to this point. In short, I loved every minute of the soccer, the Marine training, the tennis, the squash, the mountain climbing, the running and everything else along the way. I will concede that the 100-mile ultra-marathons might have been a little much, but how often do you get the oppor-tunity to meet at 3 a.m. a magnifi cent buck, transfi xed on a forest trail bathed in moon-light and pondering the sweaty fool running toward him?

Of course, the physi-cal decline has been humbling, as I have gone from a very self-suffi cient fellow to a bow-legged arthritic who now struggles to walk from his car to the offi ce. It has also given me a sobering glimpse of the future and a new appreciation for Jack Slane’s admonition that “Getting old is not for sissies.”

Most of all, this expe-rience has underscored the reality that very few things in life last for-ever. Our stay on this earth is short; our years are absolutely fi nite, and yet it is reassuring to know that there are some things that do last forever, such as our faith, the love of family and friends, timeless institutions such as High Point University and the Community Foundation and that which we leave behind for others.

I believe we all want to leave a footprint behind, something that shows we were here, that we loved, dreamed, strived and cared enough to make our world a little better than we found it.

What we give today can indeed last forever by creating a ripple that carries over the years and perhaps changes a life or two along the way, which I think is a fi ne way to be remembered.

Arthritis comes in numerous varieties

D ear Dr. Donohue: I would like to see a column on arthri-

tis. Thank you. – M.D.

“Arthro” means joint; “itis,” infl ammation. A large number of illnesses fall into the arthritis category – gout, joint infections, ankylosing spondylitis (spine arthri-tis) and psoriasis. When most people say “arthri-tis,” they are speaking of osteoarthritis or rheuma-toid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is the most common kind. Almost all humans will have at least a touch of it if they live long enough. Joints are the place where two bone ends meet. The ends of the bones are covered with protective and cushion-ing cartilage. In osteo-arthritis, the cartilage wears thin and frays. The two bone ends rub against each other – bone on bone – and that creates pain and stiffness. Aging is the major factor in pro-ducing osteoarthritis. In-volved joints include the knees, hips, neck, lower back, fi ngers and feet. Tylenol, aspirin and the nonsteroidal anti-infl am-matory medicines (Aleve, Advil, Motrin) often are the fi rst medicines suggested as treatment. Osteoarthritis induces people not to use affected joints in order to avoid pain. Rest compounds the problem; it weakens mus-

cles that protect the joints. A supervised exercise program and the ap-plication of heat or cold can reduce pain and keep joints mobile. Severely

affected joints immobilize people, and joint replace-ment is the approach that restores mobility.

Rheumatoid arthritis affects not only joints, it also affects other body organs and tissues. Joint infl ammation, swelling, pain, stiffness and defor-mity are its hallmarks. Since the entire body is involved, fatigue is a prominent symptom. The heart, the lung coverings and blood vessels can become infl amed. More-powerful medicines come into play in rheumatoid arthritis, drugs like methotrexate, cortisone (for short periods only) and newer medicines that fi ght infl ammation-caus-ing chemicals. The latter medicines include drugs like etanercept (Enbrel) and infl iximab (Remi-cade). Physical therapy is an important treatment. Joint replacement is an option for severely af-fected joints.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 75-year-old male. I

have a home blood pres-sure machine. How often and at what time of day should I take my blood pressure to give the most accurate reading? – J.C.

Blood pressure fl uctu-ates throughout the day.It’s higher in the early-morning hours after waking. It’s lower in the evening and during sleep. You can take yourblood pressure at any other time of day, but be consistent with the time.

It’s important to follow these rules to get an accu-rate reading. Don’t drink any caffeinated beveragesor smoke for at least 30 minutes before taking your pressure. Sit quietlyin a chair for fi ve min-utes with your feet fl at onthe fl oor. You can read or listen to music. The arm on which you take your pressure should be supported and be at heart level. You can rest it on a table or some other piece of furniture. Take two recordings, with a slight break between the two. Average the two readings. Taking your pressure once a day is enough.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual let-ters, 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

LA HABRA, Calif. (AP) – It’s of-fi cial. Octomom Nadya Suleman doesn’t want your dog or cat fol-lowing in her footsteps.

As a front yard full of paparazzi cheered her on, Suleman unveiled a 3-foot-by-4-foot plastic sign

Wednesday that reads: “Don’t Let Your Dog or Cat Become an Octo-mom. Always Spay or Neuter.”

“Turn left. Pose. Smile, Nadya,” photographers shouted as Sule-man stood in front of the sign.

People for the Ethical Treatment

of Animals is paying Suleman $5,000 to keep the sign on her front door until June 9, the deadline when city offi cials say it must be removed. PETA is also throwing in a month’s supply of veggie hot dogs and burg-ers for her and her 14 children.

CHICAGO (AP) – Rock-er and reality television star Bret Michaels says he’s increasing his reha-bilitation to twice a day after suffering a brain hemorrhage last month.

Michaels said on Wednesday’s episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that he’s still hav-ing trouble moving his lower extremities and has

neck stiff-ness but that “each day gets better.”

Michaels, 47, was re-cently re-leased from

a Phoenix hospital. He was admitted to a hospi-tal April 22 complaining of a severe headache.

DETROIT (AP) – When police burst into a home in search of a murder sus-pect, a reality TV crew documented the raid – and may have recorded the death of a 7-year-old girl accidentally killed by an offi cer.

Aiyana Stanley-Jones’ death put a spotlight on

the grow-ing num-ber of real-ity shows that focus on law en-forcement. A number of big-city

departments have used shows such as Fox’s

“Cops” to attract recruits. Others have shied away from the up-close atten-tion. And critics have questioned whether police behave differently when cameras are watching.

Some experts and offi -cers believe TV crews in-crease accountability.

“I don’t see someone do-

ing anything outlandish for the cameras because it’s more of a liability for us,” Detroit offi cer Bran-don Cole said.

Detroit homicide inves-tigators are featured regu-larly on A&E’s “The First 48,” which tracks murder investigations during the fi rst two days after a slay-

ing. On Sunday, a crew from the show was fi lm-ing when police raided Aiyana’s house in search of a suspect in the killing of a 17-year-old outside a convenience store.

SHEEN STAYING----

CBS and fans of “Two and a Half Men” don’t have to fret about sub-tracting Charlie Sheen from TV’s top-rated sitcom.

Sheen has agreed to a new contract that will keep him on the show for two more seasons, spokesman Stan Rosenfi eld said Monday evening after the deal was reached.

“To put a fi tting end on the 2 1⁄2 months of whirlwind speculation, I’m looking forward to returning to my CBS home on Monday nights,” Sheen, 44, said in a statement, add-ing his thanks to CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves for his support.

Uncertainty had clouded Sheen’s future with the series after he told friends that he wanted to leave after seven years because he’d tired of its production demands and wanted to focus on movies. He’s in the upcoming fi lm “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” a sequel to the 1987 “Wall Street” in which he starred.

Subsequent reports said that he was holding out for a payday of up to $2 mil-lion per sitcom episode. CBS and Sheen had de-clined comment on the reports, and Sheen’s statement did not provide de-tails of the new agreement.

New York’s faces: ‘Law & Order’ showed ’em all

MELISSA RAYWORTHFOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Since television was born, TV shows have been set in New York City. From “The Honey-mooners” all the way to “30 Rock,” generations of New Yorkers have grown up seeing their home-town used as a backdrop, or even a central charac-ter, in everything from comedies and cartoons to edgy dramas.

Some shows depict a New York that simply doesn’t exist (try and fi nd two struggling Manhat-tan twentysomethings with a “Friends”-sized apartment). Others offer a window into slivers of New York life: Fashion-obsessed women really do sip cocktails in trendy bars, just like on “Sex and the City.”

But most TV fare of-fers up a mere sliver of New York City. For two decades, until it was can-celed Friday, NBC’s “Law & Order” did something different. It showed the world not just one New York but hundreds.

We saw wealthy crimi-nals who could afford to get away with their felonies. We saw im-migrant communities, middle-class families and people of all stripes strug-gling, sometimes stum-bling through their day. We saw Manhattan and the far boroughs. We saw New Yorkers who didn’t care enough to report crimes and people who risked their lives to save strangers.

Made in New York by people who lived there, “Law & Order” never traffi cked in Gotham cliches.

“A New York City insti-

tution,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg called the show Friday. He praised producer Dick Wolf for “helping showcase the city’s depth and versatil-ity.”

Many New Yorkers would agree. They made room for “Law & Order” in their lives. And the show’s unique structure, partnering gritty police drama with high-stakes legal scheming, made room for the entire city in return – and employed a whole lot of its people.

If your neighbor or cousin or favorite bartender was an actor, chances are at some point they turned up on “Law & Order.” The show hired actors for as many as 700 speaking roles each season; that’s 14,000 roles over its tenure.

Lorraine Rodriguez, a theater actress and

native New Yorker, grew up watching the show. She earned her Screen Actors Guild card appear-ing on “The Sopranos,” but “Law & Order” was always her goal. She audi-tioned four times for “day player” roles on the show but had yet to land one when she heard it had been canceled.

“The fi rst thing my dad said when I started acting was, ‘When are you gonna be on Law & Order?’ ” Rodriguez says. “It’s a big deal when they call you in.”

“Other shows aren’t like that,” she says. “They brought in the ‘The Good Wife’ to shoot here, but that’s set in Chicago. ... You audition and they say, ‘Do you have a Chi-cago accent?’ But with Law & Order, you felt like you can be you if you’re from New York.”

Wolf’s long-running procedural, of course, wasn’t the fi rst show to feature the NYPD and the lawyers who help them put bad guys behind bars.

Across genres, and with varying degrees of authenticity, the terri-tory was staked out by “Naked City,” “Car 54, Where Are You?,” “Ko-jak,” “Barney Miller,” “Cagney & Lacey” and “Life on Mars.” And along with “NYPD Blue,” “New York Undercover,” “Third Watch,” “CSI:NY” and spinoffs “Law & Order: SVU” and “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” there will be plenty more to come.

But this one belonged to New York like no other.

When New Yorkers stumble across a fi lm shoot in progress, it often brings more inconve-nience than excitement. Sure, you may see a famous face or two. But odds are the sidewalks will be cordoned off, the fi lm crew will have taken all the parking spaces and harried production assis-tants will bark at you to keep your distance.

Not so “Law & Order.” For two decades, an ep-och in television time, the show quietly and seam-lessly shot scene after scene on the streets of the city. A mutual respect developed: They didn’t close your block, and you didn’t stare at the cam-era or the actors as you walked through a shot on your way home.

With so many scenes shot outdoors, details of New Yorkers’ lives, from the breakfast bagel cart to the subway station, were forever popping up on the

show. That’s part of what gave it street cred for ac-tors – and for agents and casting people, who saw it as a crucial stepping stone.

“It’s always been a ba-rometer to fi nd out if you were going to have some sort of credibility as an actor in New York,” says Henry Ravelo, an acting teacher and theatrical manager. “At a certain point, casting directors and agents and managers look at your resume and see if you have a ‘Law & Order’ on your resume. If an actor doesn’t, then they’ve got to ask them-selves, ‘What am I doing in New York?’”

In production for much of the year, the show also employed a steady fl ow of extras and stand-ins for every episode. For fl edgling SAG members, that meant a few hundred dollars toward the rent and a chance to get famil-iar with life on the set of a major network series.

With “Law & Order” closing up shop, its new spinoff being shot in Los Angeles and soap operas folding or leaving town, young New York City ac-tors are wondering where the breaks will come.

“All My Children,” produced in New York for nearly 40 years, moved to LA in December, shortly after “Guiding Light” bit the dust. Even Woody Al-len has left town, prefer-ring London as a back-drop over his native New York in recent years. That gives the departure of “Law & Order” all the more sting.

“A show like this was a gift,” says Marc Isaa-cmann, who founded a service called “One on One” that introduces actors to the city’s cast-ing directors. “’Law & Order’ launched so many careers. ... We were spoiled.”

Murray Pomerance, writing in the preface to “City that Never Sleeps: New York and the Filmic Imagination,” says typi-cal New Yorkers stick to their block and their neighborhood. “For the tourist, each moment in New York is, at least potentially, a sparkling treasure, an immensity of experience; for the New Yorker, there is a comforting mundanity to everyday life, a predict-ability and a delicious smallness.”

It was that “delicious smallness,” in the context of epic stories of good and evil, that “Law & Order” did so well.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Some people grin and bear it; others smile and do something about it.

Today’s declarer won the second diamond and saw no problem if he could pick up the trumps. If West had J-x-x-x, South would go down, but if East had that holding, South might succeed with a trump coup. Since South wasn’t the type to grin and bear a bad trump break, he led a heart to the ace and ruffed a heart. He then took the A-K of trumps.

TRUMP LENGTHWhen West discarded,

South smiled to himself. He ruffed a heart to re-duce his trump length to East’s, took the king of clubs, led a club to the jack and continued with the king of hearts.

If East could have ruffed, South would over-ruff, draw trumps and claim. But when East fol-lowed, South pitched his ace of clubs and led dum-my’s queen. East couldn’t afford to ruff, and South threw his last diamond. At Trick 12, with dummy to lead, South had the Q-10 of trumps behind East’s J-7.

South fails unless he shortens his trumps by ruffi ng a heart early.

J 2 D 7 6 4 C Q J 4 3. The dealer, at your right, opens one spade. You dou-ble, the next player bids two spades, your partner tries three hearts and the opening bidder passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: Your partner may have stuck out his neck to compete, hoping to drive the opponents to a level where you might beat them. Though your hearts are strong and your king of spades may be a winner, your values are minimum. Pass.

Fox reveals stable new fall schedule

DAVID BAUDERAP TELEVISION WRITER

NEW YORK – Fox is changing the “Ameri-can Idol” format after it sagged in the ratings, giving a supersized push to “Glee” and focus-ing on comedy heading into the next television season.

The network released its schedule Monday. Its executives conceded the biggest new drama, a Steven Spielberg adven-ture series, might not even be ready for next season.

Fox is the second of the broadcast networks to release its upcoming schedule. Despite “Idol” dropping an estimated 9 percent in young viewer-ship this season, the network minted a new hit in “Glee” and will be the fi rst network to win the season six years in a row among the 18-to-49-year-old demographic it seeks.

Fox still hasn’t an-swered its most compel-ling mystery for next season: Who will replace Simon Cowell when he leaves “American Idol” this month?

That search is top pri-ority for Fox this summer, said Peter Rice, entertain-ment chairman of the Fox Networks Group.

“We have to fi nd a judge to replace Simon who provides both musical credibility and an incredible entertain-ment value,” Rice said. “Anytime you have a change, it’s something you have to do right.”

In response to viewer requests for more per-formances, Fox will in-crease the Tuesday night competition show from an hour to 90 minutes. The Wednesday results show will be chopped in half to 30 minutes, Fox executives said.

Despite the ratings slide, “American Idol” continues as the nation’s most popular TV show.

Fox is giving extra attention to “Glee” in its second season, even though fans will get a scheduling challenge. A special episode of the show will get the prime post-Super Bowl time slot next season.

The show will air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. in the fall, ahead of two new comedies. After the Su-per Bowl, it will switch to Wednesdays at 9 p.m., following the “American Idol” results show.

The fi rst new Tues-day comedy is “Raising Hope,” about a 23-year pool cleaner who sud-denly has to raise his baby. Sitcom veteran

Cloris Leachman ap-pears in the character’s family.

“Running Wilde” has star power, with Will Arnett portraying a play-boy trying to woo his high school sweetheart, played by Keri Russell.

Spielberg’s “Terra Nova” is an epic that fol-lows a family from 2149 as it goes back to pre-historic times trying to save the Earth. It hasn’t been given a slot on the schedule yet, however.

“What we want to do is commit to do it right,” said Kevin Reilly, Fox network entertainment president.

Besides the two com-edies, the only other newseries Fox is introducingin the fall is “Lonestar,” a prime time soap about a Texas family with feet in both the working class and high fi nance worlds. On four of the seven nights, Fox’s prime time schedule thisfall will be the same as it is this season.

Later in the year, Fox will introduce an animated series called “Bob’s Burgers”; a comedy called “Mixed Signals” about three friends trying to bal-ance relationships with the need for freedom; and “Ride-Along,” a cop series set in Chicago.

WHO’S NEWS---

Chi Chi Rodri-guez was robbed inside his home Wednesday by three assailants who stole cash and jewelry worth $500,000, police said.

Masked men woke Rodriguez and his wife around 1:45 a.m. and tied them up inside their apartment at the Legado Golf Resort the south coast town of Guayama, said Maria Morales, the golfer’s pub-licist. She said the couple was not injured.

“They are a little shaken up but they are fi ne,” Morales said. “He is still in shock be-cause they were asleep at the time.”

Morales said Rodriguez was talking with investigators.

The 74-year-old golfer, known for his showman-ship and vic-tory dances, is the winner of eight PGA tournaments and has 22 senior tour victories.

A s expansion talk heats up, I’m starting to wonder just how big the Big Ten will get.

The conference coaches and administra-tors gathered in Chicago for three days of meetings that concluded on Wednesday, and possible expansion fi gured to be tops on the agenda.

It’s all speculation right now, but the Big Ten’s potential targets include Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Rutgers, Texas, Syra-cuse, Pittsburgh and Maryland.

So, will it become the Really Big 14 or the Super Big 18 or something in between?

And of course, leagues such as the Big East, Big 12, Pac-10, SEC and ACC fi gure to change shape as well.

I understand it all boils down to money. Such is life in 21st-century college athletics.

But for a traditionalist like me, conference expansion is a touchy subject.

It took me 30 years to adjust to the ACC without South Carolina.

I still refer to the Southwest Conference

from time to time, and I long for the days of the Big Eight.

But those leagues are gone with the wind, and we may as well get ready to learn new league confi gurations in the coming months.

It’s likely these new mega-conferences will stretch the limits of geographical logic.

But the mega-millions of dollars they’ll generate will be easy enough to understand.

HIT AND RUN---

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Casey Mears will fi ll in for Brian Vickers dur-ing Saturday’s Sprint Cup All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speed-way.

Red Bull Racing says Mears will drive the No. 83 Toyota for Vickers, who is undergoing treat-ment for blood clots in his legs and near his lungs.

Mears fi nished 22nd while subbing for Vick-ers last weekend at Do-ver.

NASCAR granted Red Bull’s request to switch drivers for the race.

Red Bull said Tuesday that Vickers has respond-ed well to treatment but has not issued a timetable for when the 26-year-old can return to racing.

Vickers and Red Bull Racing general manager Jay Frye will meet with the media on Friday at Char-lotte Motor Speedway.

Elsewhere, NASCAR placed Clint Bowyer on probation until June 16 for spinning Denny Ham-lin in a retaliatory move during a caution period late in Saturday’s Na-tionwide race at Dover.

Vickers remains in park

LOCAL RACING NOTEBOOK:

L ee Jeffreys wants to make sure everyone knows he’s not upset at the fi ve drivers who were

featured in the television show Madhouse this winter and spring.

He and the other Modifi ed drivers just want to make it clear that they felt slighted by the show, which fol-lowed the exploits of brothers Burt and Jason Myers, Junior Miller, Tim Brown and Chris Fleming during last season at Bowman Gray Stadium.

“I’m not mad at anybody,” Jef-freys said. “We want to show that there’s more than those fi ve drivers at Bowman Gray. The thing that the rest of us didn’t like is that even if you won a race last year you barely got any mention if you weren’t one of those fi ve. I won a race and they spelled my name wrong. I guess you could say it is giving us incentive this year.”

Jeffreys, of Wallburg, is showing how much incentive. He led and fi n-ished second in the 200-lap season opener May 1, fi nished sixth in the 100-lap race May 8 and got his fi rst win of the season by leading all of a 25-lap feature Saturday before rain washed out a second race.

“We’re not trying any harder,” Jeffreys said. “I don’t think the car is any stronger than last year. We’ve just had better luck so far.”

Thanks to the strong start, Jef-freys is tied with Brown for second in points, just one behind leader Burt Myers. Despite the early surge,

Jeffreys isn’t think-ing about winning his fi rst championship.

“It’s way too early for that,” Jeffreys said. “All I want to do is run up front and win. You’ve got to have a lot of luck to win a championship and I haven’t had much the past couple of years. If there was a wreck, I was usually

in it.”The show has helped give Jef-

freys incentive in another way. The notoriety generated by the show is attracting drivers to the point that the Modifi ed division had more than enough cars to fi ll its 24-car fi elds each week.

The 17,000-seat arena has also enjoyed large crowds each week, drawing spectators from across the country.

“Drivers want to go where there are the largest crowds, and there aren’t any larger than the ones at Bowman Gray around here,” Jef-freys said. “And when you have full fi elds, it means more if you win.”

A 50-lap Modifi ed race is on tap Saturday.

CARAWAY RECAPJason York crept closer to leader

Travis Swaim in Caraway Speed-way’s late model standings last Saturday.

York picked up his third vic-

tory of the year and moved within two points of Swaim, who fi nished fourth in the 150-lap race.

Ryan Wilson came in second and moved into third in points, 28 be-hind Swaim. Corey Strickland was third, Junior Kendrick of Thom-asville prevailed in the Sportsman race with former High Point resi-dent Paul Wark second. Kendrick holds an 18-point lead over Ross Dalton.

Scottie York leads Glenn Chris-coe Jr. by 10 in Late Model Super Truck. York fi nished third and Chriscoe eighth in a race won by Jason Poole.

Richard Jones is 20 points ahead of Andrew Schill in U-Car. Perry Hanes is eight ahead of Darrin Free in Pure Stock.

On Friday night, Mack Little III swept a pair of 30-lap Sportsman races that had Jimmy Wallace, Wayne Hill and Kirk Sheets as the rest of the order in a four-car fi eld. Little is 146 points ahead of Hill. Wallace was fi rst and Teri MacDon-ald second as the only contestants in a Late Model Super Truck race. Scott Hensley prevailed in the Leg-ends Car race.

Gary Ledbetter was the Street Stock winner, and John Davis got his fi rst Mini-Stock victory.

Caraway is idle Saturday, con-tinuing the tradition of avoiding confl ict with the All-Star race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.


TV snub motivates Jeffreys


First-round actionGlenn shortstop Megan Mabe applies tag, thwarting the attempt of Dudley’s Ashley Malachi to steal sec-ond during a fi rst-round game in the NCHSAA 4A softball playoffs Wednesday. Details on 4D.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Angel Pagan was having a most unusual evening, and that’s a good thing for the New York Mets.

Pagan hit the fi rst in-side-the-park home run in Nationals Park his-tory, then started the Mets’ fi rst triple play since 2002.

Pagan’s homer in the fourth inning Wednes-day came in Washing-ton’s third season at its ballpark.

The Nationals put runners on fi rst and second with no outs in the fi fth.

Cristian Guzman hit a sinking liner and Pa-gan rushed in to make a shoestring catch in cen-ter fi eld.

The runners kept go-ing and Pagan threw home, just in case. Catcher Henry Blanco tossed the ball to short-stop Jose Reyes at sec-ond base, and he re-played to fi rst baseman Ike Davis to complete the Mets’ 10th triple play.

Pagan pulls rare

double

WASHINGTON (AP) — The mortgage crisis is dragging on the economic recovery as more hom-eowners fall behind on their payments.

Analysts expect im-provement soon, but the number of homeowners in default or at risk of fore-closure will have a linger-ing effect on the broader economy.

More than 10 percent of homeowners had missed at least one mortgage payment in the January-March period, the Mort-gage Bankers Association said Wednesday. That’s a record high and up from 9.5 percent in the fourth quarter of last year and 9.1 percent a year earlier.

Around 4.3 million homeowners, or about 8 percent of all Americans with a mortgage, are at risk of losing their homes. They have either missed at least three months of payments or are in foreclosure, the trade group’s top econo-mist said Wednesday.

Should loan modifi ca-tion programs fail to help, their homes will go up for sale either as a foreclo-sure or short sale — when the bank agrees to sell the property for less than the original mortgage amount.

Many analysts have been forecasting home prices will dip again as more of these homes go

up for sale at deeply dis-counted prices.

“It’s certainly a weight on the economy,” said Mark Zandi, chief econo-mist at Moody’s Analyt-ics, who predicts home prices will fall about 5 percent and hit the bot-tom next spring. “Noth-ing works all that well in the economy when house prices are falling.”

Federal tax credits boosted home sales this spring but they expired last month. As a result, mortgage applications to purchase homes fell to the lowest level in 13 years this week, the Mort-gage Bankers Association said in a separate report Wednesday.

Mortgage crisis hinders recovery

WASHINGTON (AP) — Consumer prices fell in April for the fi rst time in 13 months, giving the Fed-eral Reserve more room to keep interest rates at historic lows to aid the economy. That’s good news for borrowers, but not for savers.

Record-low rates help borrowers who qualify for loans and want to take on more debt. The prime lending rate, used to set rates on some credit cards and consumer loans, is at its lowest point in de-cades.

But low rates hurt sav-ers. They’re especially hard for people on fixed incomes who earn scant returns on their sav-ings.

The 0.1 percent decrease in overall prices last month was pulled down by gas prices, which are

expected to drop further this summer.

Core infl ation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was fl at in April, according to the Labor Department report Wednesday. Over the past 12 months, core infl ation has risen just 0.9 percent — the smallest increase in 44 years.

The recession in 2007 and 2008 has kept infl a-tion so low that some economists worry about the possibility of defl ation — a destabilizing period of falling prices and wages.

“With the unemploy-ment rate so close to 10 percent, it is entirely understandable that the Fed wants to stick with its commitment to leave rates at near-zero,” said Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.

Consumer infl ation vanishes

NEW YORK (AP) — Deere & Co. said Wednesday that its second-quarter profit jumped 16 percent as sales of farm and con-struction equipment improved, so the maker of iconic green and yel-low machinery raised its outlook for the sec-ond time this year.

The Moline, Ill.-based company said it gener-ated $547.5 million in net income, or $1.28 per share, in the quarter that ended April 30. That’s up from net income of $472.3 million, or $1.11 per share, a year earlier. Excluding a charge re-lated to health care leg-

islation, profit was $1.58 per share.

Deere’s revenue grew 6 percent to $7.13 billion, from $6.75 billion, in the same period last year. Part of that increase came from price increas-es and favorable cur-rency exchange rates, but sales of large trac-tors and combines have improved and construc-tion equipment sales are starting to rebound from historic lows as the economy recovers.

The results topped ana-lysts expectations of net income of $1.09 per share on $6.6 billion revenue.

Deere stock jumped $1.66, or 2.9 percent, to $58.82.

Washington Mutual hearing delayed

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — A bankruptcy judge has postponed a hearing to consider ap-proving the disclosure statement that outlines Washington Mutual Inc.’s proposed reorga-nization plan.

The judge in Delaware continued Wednesday’s hearing until June 3 to allow parties in the case more time to review what Washington Mutual says about its Chapter 11 reorganiza-tion plan.

Oil prices continue three-week slide

NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices contin-ued a three-week slide Wednesday, as U.S. petroleum stockpiles grew and Europe’s fi -nancial troubles shook confi dence in the world economy.

Benchmark crude for June delivery dropped $1.19 to $68.22 a barrel on the New York Mer-cantile Exchange.

UPS to furlough 54 pilots, cut costs

ATLANTA (AP) — Ship-ping giant UPS, which said just last month that the improving economy helped boost its first-quarter profit and its outlook for the year, is preparing to furlough doz-ens of pilots for the first time ever as part of a long-antici-pated cost-cutting move.

The company, which has 2,819 pilots, said it simply has more pilots than it needs. It says it tried, but failed, to reach a deal with the pilots union on enough concessions that would have averted the need for furloughs.

NEW YORK (AP) — An-other wave of selling hitstocks Wednesday in re-sponse to growing fearsthat Europe has no quickfi x for its debt crisis.

The Dow Jones indus-trial average fell about 67points after having beendown as much as 186. Itwas the Dow’s ninth dropin 12 days.

The extent of investors’worries became clear af-ter the euro bounced offa four-year low but stocksstill fell. The euro hasbeen driving stock trad-ing for weeks.

The Standard & Poor’s500 index, widely consid-ered one of the best mea-sures of how the stockmarket is doing, neareda 10 percent drop fromthe 2010 trading high itreached last month. Thatwould mark the fi rst timethe market has had what’sknown as a “correction”since it bounced off a 12-year low in March lastyear. Most analysts say acorrection is a drop of atleast 10 percent.

The latest worry camefrom Germany, whereregulators banned what’scalled naked short selling.That occurs when tradersbet against investmentsthey don’t hold. The rulecovers European govern-ment bonds, credit defaultswaps and the shares ofseveral fi nancial compa-nies.

The Dow fell 66.58, or 0.6percent, to 10,444.37 afterdropping 115 on Tuesday.

The S&P 500 index fell5.75, or 0.5 percent, to1,115.05. The Nasdaq com-posite index fell 18.89, or0.8 percent, to 2,298.37.

LONDON (AP) — Euro-pean leaders are stepping up their attack on what they characterize as greedy and ruthless speculators, accusing them of worsen-ing the continent’s govern-ment debt crisis.

But analysts say some of the measures they are tak-ing could backfi re by un-dermining the euro instead of supporting it.

In the space of a few hours on Tuesday, EU gov-ernments overrode British objections and U.S. worries to tighten rules for hedge funds, and Germany’s secu-rities regulator unilaterally announced curbs on trad-ers of government debt and bank stocks.

The unexpected deci-sion by Germany to ban so-called naked short-sell-

ing of eurozone govern-ment bonds, as well as shares in ten key German fi nancial institutions un-til March 31, sent shock-waves through the mar-kets Wednesday.

Europe’s main stock markets all closed around 3 percent lower Wednes-day after the euro sank to a four-year low against the dollar.

“While politicians are still trying to blame speculators for the fall in the euro, it’s the market’s loss in confi -dence in these politicians’ ability to implement the austerity measures needed domestically that is at the root of its decline in value,” said Mark O’Sullivan, di-rector of dealing at foreign exchange fi rm Currencies Direct.

NEW YORK (AP) — A jury that found drug company No-vartis discriminated against women by paying them less than men, promoting fewer of them and allowing a hos-tile workplace awarded $250 million in punitive damages on Wednesday.

The same jury concluded Monday that Novartis Phar-maceuticals Corp. had dis-criminated against its female employees since 2002, and it awarded $3.3 million to a

dozen women whose stories were outlined during the six-week trial.

Attorneys for Novartis de-clined to comment. The com-pany has said it would appeal.

The plaintiffs’ attorney, Da-vid Sanford, said the findings “sent a message to Novartis and all other corporations in America that they cannot continue to get away with the discrimination and the systemic problems that have gone on for so long. “

NEW YORK (AP) — Target Corp. reported a 29 percent increase in fi rst-quarter net income, fueled by an improve-ment in its credit-card business and higher sales of more profi table items such as clothing.

Chairman and CEO Gregg Steinhafel said the results came in a “stron-ger-than-expected eco-nomic environment.”

The discounter, based in Minneapolis, report-ed net income of $671 million, or 90 cents per share, for the period ended May 1. That com-pares with $522 million,

or 69 cents per share, in the year-ago period. Ana-lysts surveyed by Thom-son Reuters had expected 86 cents a share.

Target said its total revenue rose 5 percent to $15.59 billion, a a shade ahead of Wall Street ex-pectations. Target’s reve-nue at stores open at least a year rose 2.8 percent for the fi rst quarter. The measure is a key indica-tor of a retailer’s health because it excludes the effect of expansion.

In a statement, Stein-hafel noted that the retail segment beat expecta-tions as sales of discre-

tionary items with high profi t margins such as clothing were particular-ly strong. Target’s gross profi t margin increased to 31.3 percent in the fi rst quarter, up from 30.8 percent in the year-ago period.

Steinhafel also noted that profi tability in its credit card segment also was well above expecta-tions.

Target’s sales results were in sharp contrast with Wal-Mart, which reported on Tuesday that its key measure of rev-enue fell for the fourth consecutive quarter.

Treasury announces Wells Fargo auction

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government says it will auction 110.3 million warrants it received from Wells Fargo & Co. as part of its effort to recoup the costs of the $700 billion financial bailout.

The Treasury Depart-ment said the auction of the Wells Fargo warrants will take place on Thursday. It set a minimum bid price of $6.50 per warrant. A war-rant gives the purchaser theright to buy common stock at a fixed price.

Financial institutions have been eager to cut ties to the TARP bailout program to escape various restrictions imposed on banks receiving support.
