HIGH POINT – City offi cials may look for another way to implement a cost-cutting measure involving one of High Point’s most heavily used ser-vices.
During a public hearing on the city’s proposed 2010-11 budget Thursday, City Council members revisited the issue of how best to handle cutbacks in the Neal F. Austin High Point Pub-lic Library’s hours of operation. The budget calls for the library to cut back from its current seven-day-a-week operation to be closed on Mondays. After city offi cials came up with the idea, Director Kem Ellis was tasked with implementing the cutbacks, ei-ther by scaling back hours or closing for an entire day. Ellis determined that closing on Mondays would be the easiest course.
“What I’m hearing is that folks are upset with the day that was chosen.
From what I’m hearing, Monday is a very active day,” said Councilman Chris Whitley. “I think there are oth-er ways to accomplish the goal.”
Elijah Lovejoy, a local pastor and the founder of Party on the Plank, which is hosting a series of concerts at the library this summer, spoke against the proposed Monday clos-ing.
“I think the best indication is, peo-ple vote with their feet. I don’t think you can fi nd any other facility in the city with that much voluntary use. I think you could argue that the library is the de facto town square,” Lovejoy told the council.
Offi cials said they would ask Ellis to take another look at the proposal.
Thursday’s session was the second and fi nal public hearing on the pro-posed $308 million budget. Besides the library, another proposed service reduction would be reduced hours of operation at fi ve city recreation cen-ters.
Other cutbacks include the elimi-nation of 51 full- and part-time va-cant city positions and eliminating employee pay raises. The council is slated to consider adoption of the bud-get June 21.
The only other speaker at the pub-lic hearing was Clover Drive resident Don Carter, who said he would like to see more recreation facilities for youth in south High Point and ques-tioned the plans for a possible park on 50 acres the city has acquired in southwest High Point, arguing that the area needs playing fi elds rather than trails and passive uses.
Council members responded that no decisions have been made about how a possible park there would be used and, if one is developed, pub-lic input will be solicited. They also pointed out most of the site is not fl at and doesn’t lend itself to playing fi elds.
HIGH POINT – The High Point Enterprise will join nearly 300 media outlets in the launch of Boocoo.com, an online auction house that is said to serve as an alternative to eBay, Craiglists and other na-tional Web sites.
The Web site will fi rst be activated for The High Point Enterprise on Mon-day. A national launch for the site will be held June 21.
Boocoo.com allows users
to post items for sale. Each participating media outlet has a partnership with Ranger Data Technologies to share the transaction fees gained through the site while users buy, sell and trade their items. The media outlets also will promote the venture to help generate inventory, traffi c and sales.
“We are excited to part-ner with Boocoo.com so local community mem-bers can use the site to buy and sell possessions,” said Mike Starn, publisher of
The High Point Enter-prise.
The Boocoo business model is based upon the licensing of ZIP codes to the media partners, who will have exclusive rights to split transactional fees generated by the auction site. If the buyer and sell-er are from different ZIP codes, the media outlets will share the fee. If they are both from the same ZIP code, the media outlet in that area will get the en-tire share. Approximately 20 percent of all U.S. ZIP
codes have been licensed for the Web site.
As a special promo-tion for the launch of the Web site, subscribers and viewers will receive a user name and password that will allow access and waived transaction fees for one week prior to the national launch date. Fees will be waived again for one week after the nation-al launch.

GUILFORD COUNTY – District offi cials approved a new plan Thursday aimed at recruiting more poor stu-dents to an upgraded aca-demically gifted program.
The renamed Academi-cally and Intellectually Gifted program is de-signed to increase the number of underrepre-sented minority groups qualifying for the pro-gram and to upgrade all instruction. The Board of Education approved the revamped program on a 8-1 vote following a brief discussion.
The new process would seek out “underrepresent-ed populations,” which the school system defi nes as black, American In-dian, Asian, Hispanic, multi-racial, exceptional children (children with learning disabilities), non-English speakers, and students eligible for free and reduced-price
lunches. The other track would seek out others who don’t fall into one of the underrepresented categories.
The district’s program has served mainly white, middle-class students with only 16 percent fall-ing into one of the under-represented categories. Hispanic students, who make up 9 percent of
the student body, make up less than 5 percent of gifted students. The up-graded program also will boost teacher training in grades K-2 in 11 pilot elementary schools with high populations of un-derrepresented students to build higher level thinking, problem-solv-ing skills, as well as vo-cabulary.
“We have focused on the identifi cation process and enrichment and and left out classroom devel-opment,” said Lee Ann Segalla, the district’s executive director of Ad-vanced Learning. “Early intervention makes a dif-ference.”
In elementary schools gifted students will be pulled out of regular classes for at least 90 minutes a week for addi-tional, enriched instruc-tion.
Four other schools with more gifted stu-dents will increase read-ing and math instruction for fourth- and fi fth-grad-ers identifi ed as gifted. But some parents have complained that at some schools enrichment is just more worksheets and homework.
“We want to have more out of the box thinking to keep students chal-lenged,” Segalla said.
School board wants more poor students in gifted program
GIFTED STUDENTS----Old School: More than 14,000 GCS students quali-fi ed for the gifted program this school year by scoring in the 85th percentile on two tests – a cognitive ability test and an aptitude test – or by having high grades or recommendations for the program by their teacher.
Revised: The assessment requires all third-graders to take the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) to measure reasoning abilities. Students scoring more than 85 percent on the CogAT would be referred to the program as well as those who fall into one of the underrepresented categories and score between 65 and 85 percent. All referred students must take additional tests to determine if they qualify.
said. “I only do the things I have to do.”
Tom White, who also was getting gas at Race-way, agreed with Baker.
“I hope prices continue to drop,” White said.
But even if they do not, gas prices will not keep him off the road.
“It’s never really affected how much I drive,” White said. “But I did just get into a new relationship, and she lives about 100 miles away, so that should be interesting.”
In regard to the BP oil spill, Byrnes said it will not harm prices in the near fututre.
“The BP offshore rig is exploratory,” Byrnes said. “No refi neries were ex-pecting that oil to go into production, so gas prices won’t really be affected right now.”
But that doesn’t mean drivers are in the clear.
“Weather services areforecasting an active hur-ricane season,” Byrnessaid. “This could disruptproduction and refi ningand push prices higher.”
It is hard to predict whatwill happen. Events occurdaily aren’t foreseeable,like the spill in the Gulf.With the economy in itscurrent state, it also makespredictions for future gasprices diffi cult.
“Oil prices are followingthe stock market,” Byrnessaid. “Investors are disil-lusioned and pessimisticbecause of BP, causing un-certainty in all oil stocks.”
Eventually, the BP off-shore rig leak will hitprices.
“More safety regulationsand inspection regulationswill probably put in placefor all oil companies,” By-rnes said.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County man faces fi rearms and theft-related charges after an investiga-tion by sheriff’s deputies.

HIGH POINT– Phoenix Acad-emy is the first school in Guil-ford County to receive the EN-ERGY STAR rating due to the school’s cut in energy usage by 10.4 percent.
“We are honored to receive this recognition and are proud of the environmental focus of our campus,” said Kim Nor-cross, superintendent-prin-cipal. “Students learn about green living in the classroom and what it takes to operate with top energy efficiency.”
In order to decrease their en-ergy use, the school controlled the air conditioning system in order to create a temperature
that was both comfortable and balanced with exterior air. The school also conducted regular maintenance checks on the air system to ensure that it was operating efficiently.
Basic practices also were em-ployed, like turning off lights and electrical equipment when not in use and replacing incan-descent bulbs with higher-ef-ficiency T-12 bulbs. The school even went as far as changing exit signs in the building to ones that are LED-illuminat-ed.
“Students are very aware of these processes and are en-couraging their parents to fol-low similar practices in their own homes to save energy and
reduce their carbon footprint,” Norcross said. “In the coming school year, we plan to offer prizes and rewards to students who implement these types of energy-efficient practices at
school and at home. We also encourage them to think of similar ways to reduce energy on their own.”
Liberty Property Trust spon-sored the school and arranged for the inspection. To earn the designation, Phoenix Acad-emy scored in the upper 75th percentile of all comparable K-12 schools in the country based on their energy use and size. Since beginning the program two years ago, Phoenix Acad-emy has decreased its energy usage by 10.4 percent.
Phoenix Academy is High Point’s only charter school and has been recognized as a North Carolina Honor School of Excellence.

ABERDEEN – A fox that attacked an 11-year-old boy in Aberdeen on Tuesday tested positive for rabies, according to a spokesman for Moore County Animal Control.
The state lab in Raleigh confi rmed the resultsT-
hursday, the spokesman said.
The fi ndings mean the child will be given the ra-bies vaccine.
That consists of a series of shots that are given four times over a two-week pe-riod, according to the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention’s Website.
The attack was reported
about 3:40 p.m. on the 100 block of Midway Road near Sycamore Street, said Jim Foster, the deputy police chief for Aberdeen.
The boy, who has been identifi ed as 11-year-old Talon Thomas, was walk-ing when the fox tried to bite him.
“It bit him on the pants leg,” Foster said. “He
didn’t break the skin.”Thomas managed to
grab the fox and was hold-ing it by its throat and cry-ing when a man driving a truck passed by, Foster said.
“He thought the child’s dog might have been hit ... but then realized the child may have been bitten,” Foster said.

Regarding Mike Hughes’ May 9 column “Common Sense Rules in Court Cases”: The “common sense” Hughes likes to claim for himself every few columns is just a substi-tute for not presenting an argument. It doesn’t seem to involve reading about issues before speaking.
Most of the column could be tak-en apart, but what really stands out is his misunderstanding of the Salazar v. Buono case, about a memorial cross placed in Mojave National Preserve. Religious sym-bols on public land have always violated our Constitution, both in letter and spirit. What’s more, when non-Christians asked to put up memorial displays on the same land, they were refused.
Congress created bills to keep the site as it was. They even stuck a rider on a defense bill in 2003 to give away that lone acre, in the middle of a national
park, to make it “private.”While the U.S. was dealing with
two wars, Israeli-Palestinian vio-lence and an Iranian nuclear pro-gram, our congressmen decided to spend their time sidestepping the Constitution and insulting the veterans the memorial was sup-posed to honor.
The Supreme Court didn’t rule against removing a cross from public land, as Hughes thinks. They sent the case back to a lower court and encouraged the land swap. Given the chance to defend religious neutrality, they instead winked at an unethical end-run around the law. “Common sense” should tell us which was actually the correct choice.

Positive, forward thinking
overcomes all evil
J.J. Ricks Jr., my friend, what has happened to you? I read your letter June 8 – “Some tea partyers leave much to be desired” – and you accuse everyone of being a racist when you appear the racist. Do you not know that you cannot be a Christian and be a racist? God sees no color! Read 1 Samuel 16: 7.
J. J., I have been to the tea parties – I have never heard any “klanda-tine” (made-up word) spoken, only patriotic English, and I have seen many races represented and, yes, even blacks attend!
Your claims are outrageous and I am not sure what air you have
been breathing, but your letter is so far from the realities of today and of the truth that I wonder how many of the readers fi nished read-ing your submission. Your claim that our Constitution is race-based is insulting is the mildest repudia-tion I can state. You continue on to say that “a man-made ‘constitu-tional will’ will steal, kill and de-stroy you.”
We are a Christian nation. Neg-ativism never wins the day, but being positive and forward think-ing overcomes all evil and is what makes our country so great.
Getting back to what our Found-ing Fathers created is what the Tea Party movement is all about – it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with freedom for everyone.
Stop seeing color, J.J.CATHY BREWER HINSON

A s Afghanistan attempts to reach a peace accord with Taliban leaders, U.S. lawmakers, says USA Today, “have
made clear that they want women’s rights preserved in any potential deal to integrate former insurgents into the government.”
My fi ve sisters took it upon themselves to prepare Afghani women for equality.
“We hear the Taliban men made you cover your faces and wear fl oor-length shrouds,” said one of my sisters to one Afghan woman.
“It is true,” said the woman.“And they wouldn’t let you work or allow
your daughters to go to school?”“Also true.”“And men got to marry multiple women,
whereas if a woman’s husband died, she was reduced to begging for food for her starving children,” said another sister.
“Yes.”“And so repressive was your country that
women faced beatings just for laughing out loud,” said another sister.
“All of this has been so,” said the woman. “But is this not also true in your country?”
“Hah!” shouted one sister. “In our country, men fi nally know their place. In America, men are good for only one thing. But how often do you need to parallel park anyway!”
“You confuse me,” said the woman.“Look,” said one sister, “women have
equality in America. We are educated like men. We have equal rights in every way.”
“Show me how to do this,” said the woman.
“For starters,” said one sister, “you shouldn’t walk fi ve paces behind your men. It is high time your men follow you.”
“Huh?” said the woman.“When they show interest in you, ignore
them,” said another sister.“Ignore?”“That’s right. Pretty soon, they’ll want
to marry you and after you marry, the real ignoring begins.”
“Precisely,” continued another sister. “The more you ignore them, the more they will want to please you. They’ll work hard to make money. They’ll take care of the yard, cook, clean, do the grocery shopping, watch the kids, and they’ll love every minute of it.”
“But how do you get them to do this?” said the woman.
“Keep them guessing,” said one sister. “When they think you’re going to laugh, be angry. When they think you’re going to be angry, laugh. They must remain in a constant state of confusion.”
“I see,” said the woman.“The more you confuse them,
the harder they will work to please you,” said another sis-ter. “They must also fear you.”
“Fear?”“That’s right,” said one sister. “They must
know that if they do anything to harm you or their children, they may wake in the morning missing some of their parts.”
“Oh, my,” said the woman.“It is through constant displeasure and
fear that your men will begin to do the only thing they know how to do well.”
“Parallel parking?” said the woman.“No,” said one sister. “Begging. Begging
for your forgiveness.”“This is amazing,” said the woman.“Look,” said another sister. “Women have
always known they are smarter than men. It took us a while, but now we’re fi nally run-ning things, too – as it should be.”
“As it should be?” said the woman.“That’s why those Taliban idiots have
been so hard on you,” said one sister. “It was fear and respect.
They knew what you would do to them if you acquired the equality women have in America.”
“I like this America,” said the woman.“We’ve got our men properly trained,”
said another sister, “and if you follow our guidance, you’ll train your men, too. So what do you say?”
“I say men in Afghanistan are good for only one thing. But how often do you need to saddle a donkey anyway!”

H ey, with the local economy as diffi cult to cope with as it is, every bit of good news is welcome!
As Loren Hill, president of High Point Eco-nomic Development Corp., told The High Point Enterprise this week, High Point’s placement among the top 10 “lowest cost manufacturing sites” in the U.S. and Canada is “not a sur-prise, but it is a most welcome rankling that we will be sure to tout to prospective compa-nies.” Some 72 locations in the two nations were explored in the study by the Princeton, N.J.-based Boyd Co. for BizCost.
The area’s history/reputation for furniture manufacturing as well as what’s happening in the economy and the furniture industry in the rest of the world helps place High Point in the top 10. As John Boyd Jr. of the Boyd Co. noted, “There’s a way to tell the story of the High Point region to a global corporate offi ce,” and as economic conditions improve, some com-panies likely are to return or relocate home furnishings production to the area. Changes in attitudes toward multi-national corpora-tions in China and some other Asian nations and economic problems in Europe also tend to make the High Point/Greensboro region, where infrastructure space is about $2.25 per square foot according to the study, mighty at-tractive.

C ongratulations to Communities in Schools of High Point, its executive di-rector Cerise Collins and its board of
directors, for becoming one of only four CIS affi liates in North Carolina to earn national recognition for following a common set of standards and best practices and meeting high levels of accountability.
Communities In Schools is the nation’s largest dropout prevention organization, sur-rounding students with a community of sup-port, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. By bringing caring adults into the schools to address children’s unmet needs, CIS provides the link between educators and the community. The result: teachers are free to teach, and students – many in jeopardy of dropping out – have the opportunity to focus on learning.
The national accreditation and review pro-cess known as Total Quality Systems is de-signed to take both local CIS affi liates and the CIS network to the next level of accountability and excellence.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) – Mexico condemned the shooting of a 15-year-old boy by a U.S. Border Patrol agent Thursday through diplomatic cor-respondence and an angry phone call to the Homeland Security sec-retary. Some Mexican politicians called for the agent’s extradition to face Mexican justice.
Anger over Monday’s shooting across a muddy riverbed on the interna-tional border was fueled by a cell-phone video that showed key moments in the shooting, as debate began over which coun-try has jurisdiction in the case.
A still-unidentifi ed Bor-der Patrol agent trying to arrest illegal immigrants running into the United States fi red his weapon from the U.S. side into Mexico, killing 15-year-old Sergio Adrian Her-nandez Huereka while people on the Mexican
side threw rocks at the Border Patrol agents on the scene.
What is still unclear is whether Hernandez was one of the rock-throwers and whether the agent or the victim crossed the in-ternational border. Short-
ly after the shooting, Mex-ican federal police chased Border Patrol agents out of the riverbed with rifl es trained on them while a crowd on the Mexican side taunted the U.S. offi -cials and threw rocks and fi recrackers.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Nearly 60 mil-lion people living around the Himalayas will suffer food shortages in the coming decades as glaciers shrink and the water sources for crops dry up, a study said Thursday.
But Dutch scientists writing in the journal Sci-ence concluded the impact would be much less than previously estimated a few years ago by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The U.N. report in 2007 warned that hundreds of millions of people were at risk from disappearing glaciers.

GENEVA – The United States on Thursday urged Iran to make good on its pledge to improve human rights in the country, almost one year after the government’s bloody crackdown on post-election protests.
Washington’s envoy to the U.N. Human Rights Council said Iran was still discriminating against minorities and failing to safeguard freedom of expression and assembly.
“We urge the government of Iran to uphold all of its international commitments and to account hon-estly for its human rights record, particularly over the past year,” Ambassador Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe told the Geneva-based council.

NELSPRUIT, South Africa – Three British stu-dents were killed when a bus crashed Thursday near one of South Africa’s World Cup host cities, police and British offi cials said.
Provincial police spokesman Capt. Leonard Hlathi told The Associated Press the vehicle was carrying 22 people – including 18 students and two teachers – when it veered off the road near Barberton, just outside the World Cup host city of Nelspruit in northeast South Africa.
Hlathi said two female students died in the wreckage. A male student died at the hospital.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands – Two Bosnian Serbs were convicted of genocide and sentenced to life imprisonment Thursday for the 1995 massacre of some 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica – the harshest judgment ever delivered by the U.N. war crimes tribunal on the Balkan wars.
A third Bosnian Serb offi cer was given a 35-year prison sentence for aiding and abetting genocide. Two others were acquitted of genocide charges but convicted of extermination, murder and persecu-tion, while a fi nal two offi cers were found guilty of lesser charges of war crimes. Sentences for those four ranged from fi ve to 19 years.

HAVANA – Seventy-four Cuban opposition activ-ists – including the island’s best-known blogger and a hunger striker who has garnered worldwide attention – signed a letter Thursday cheering pro-posed legislation that would lift the U.S. travel ban to their country.
The declaration, addressed to the U.S. Congress, supports a bill to let Americans visit Cuba freely and expand U.S. food exports to the island.
“We share the opinion that the isolation of the people of Cuba benefi ts the most infl exible inter-ests of its government, while any opening serves to inform and empower the Cuban people and helps to further strengthen our civil society,” the letter said.

BAGHDAD (AP) – The U.S. military will relin-quish control of a base near a compound hous-ing an Iranian opposition group next month, a move that will close a chapter on one of the most intrac-table issues in U.S.-Iraqi relations.
The presence of the Peo-ple’s Mujahedeen Orga-nization of Iran at Camp Ashraf has long been an irritant to Iraq’s Shiite-led government, and the exiles expressed fear that
they would face violence without the Americans there to protect them.
The announcement Thursday of the base closure on July 1 came nearly a year after Iraqi security forces raided the camp, prompting a melee that offi cials said left 11 residents dead and dozens injured.
The U.S. military guard-ed the camp since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 under an agreement that made its more than
3,000 residents “protected persons” under the Ge-neva Conventions. The military stopped observ-ing the agreement after a new security accord with the Baghdad government took effect last year but maintained the nearby base.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – At the same time they are venting their fury on BP over the Gulf of Mexi-co spill and its calamitous environmental effects, Louisiana politicians are rushing to the defense of the oil-and-gas industry and pleading with Wash-ington to bring back off-shore drilling – now.
As angry as they are over the disaster, state offi cials warn that the Obama administration’s temporary ban on drilling in the Gulf has sent Loui-siana’s most lucrative in-dustry into a death spiral.
They contend that drill-ing is safe overall and that the moratorium is a knee-jerk reaction, akin to grounding every airplane in America because of a single crash. They worry,
too, that the moratorium comes at a time when an-other major Louisiana in-dustry – fi shing – has been brought to a standstill by the mess in the Gulf.
Meanwhile, a govern-ment task force of scien-tists said that before BP cut and capped the blown-out well a week ago, it may have been spewing as much as 2.1 million gallons of oil per day – or twice as much as the government’s previous worst-case esti-mate. The bigger number is just an estimate, and sci-entifi c teams are still com-ing up with more complete numbers.
In other action, the top federal offi cial overseeing the Gulf oil spill has invit-ed BP executives to meet with President Barack Obama next week.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) – The Dutch man suspected in the disap-pearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway admit-ted he lied to her fam-ily about where her body was buried on the island of Aruba, according to an FBI agent’s affi davit un-sealed Thursday.
The affi davit is part of an Alabama extortion case against Joran van
der Sloot. It said he sent an e-mail in late March asking for $250,000 – and later demanded a signed contract with her mother – in return for showing her family where the re-mains were buried and the circumstances of her death in 2005.
According to the affi -davit: Van der Sloot got $25,000 and on May 10 took a representative of the
family to a house where he claimed his father, now deceased, buried Natalee Holloway’s body in gravel under the foundation. He said he had thrown her to the ground when she tried to keep him from leaving and “hit her head on a rock and died as a result of the impact.”
It was later learned the house could not have been the burial place – Aruban
authorities found it hadnot even been built whenthe teen disappeared.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Ikea is recalling 3.4 mil-lion window blinds and shades after a child nearly strangled on a cord.
The recall covers three styles of shades: Roman shades and roll-up blinds sold at Ikea stores nation-wide over more than 11 years, from January 1998 to June 2009, and roller
blinds from that time pe-riod that don’t have a ten-sion device attached to the bead chain.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission an-nounced the recall Thurs-day after receiving a new report of a 1 1⁄2-year-old boy in Lowell, Mass., who nearly strangled earlier this year.

LEXINGTON – The Lex-ington Farmers Market will finally get to move indoors come 10 a.m. Saturday.
And the grand opening of its change in location to the Historic Southern Railway Freight Depot is long overdue, accord-ing to the market’s op-erators.
“We’ve been waiting for this for three years,” said Amy-Lynn Albert-son, N.C. Cooperative Extension horticulture agent and manager of the Lexington Farmers Market.
Money was put toward the renovation of the market in 2007 from the city of Lexington, the N.C. Railroad, and as a part of the N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund. Represen-tatives from all three or-ganizations will attend the opening.
The market has been operating since 2006, but outside of the freight depot. This meant put-ting up with the unpre-dictable weather, May through October, for the greater part of four years.
“Being indoors will bring protection from the wind, rain and sun,” Albertson said. “But the space will still main-tain an airy, open feel. The bay doors will be kept open along with the use of ceiling fans to keep the market cool in
the summer.” The new space holds 30 vendors and is accessible to pe-destrian traffic.
While undergoing con-struction, maintaining the depot’s roots was important.
“The renovations kept the historical impor-tance of the freight de-pot intact,” Albertson said.
Saturday will bring special vendors to the market: quilters, wood-carvers, jewelers and potters from around the area bringing their handcrafted goods to sell. Craft Day occurs only twice a year – in June and September.
Cupcakes and tea will be served courtesy of the Farmers Market Board in celebration of the opening. Richard Reich, agricultural services as-sistant to N.C. Agricul-ture Commissioner Steve Troxler, will be address-ing the crowd as the key-note speaker.
On a typical day, pa-trons will fi nd produce and agricultural goods – all locally grown.
The Lexington Farm-ers Market is open 8 a.m. through noon Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesdays and is locat-ed at 129 S. Railroad St., Lexington.

HIGH POINT – A 33-year-old Realtor will seek the Ward 6 seat on the High Point City Council, en-suring a competitive race this year for the post that will be vacated by Coun-cilman John Faircloth.
Jason Ewing told The High Point Enterprise Thursday he’ll run in Ward 6. Retired High Point University po-litical science professor James Corey previously
a n n o u n c e d he’ll run in Ward 6, and at least one more chal-lenger is ex-pected to de-clare.
F a i r c l o t h will depart Ward 6 at the end of the year to be-come a state legislator from Guilford County. Candidate filing for this year’s High Point munic-ipal elections starts next month, with the general election Nov. 2.
Ewing, who helped with Faircloth’s success-ful State House District 61 Republican primary campaign earlier this spring, is making his first bid for public of-fice.
“It’s been a goal of mine for probably eight to 10 years to get into local government,” said Ewing, a native of Ohio whose family moved here in February 2007.
Ewing said economic development to create jobs represents the most
important issue con-fronting the city. He’d like to get involved on council with the High Point Economic Devel-opment Corp. to help re-cruit new employers.
“We also need to help current business own-ers and small businesses maintain what they have, then give them whatever resources we can to hire more,” said Ewing, who’s currently involved in Leadership High Point.
Ewing also would like the city to offer encour-
agement to new employ-ers to have their workers live within the city lim-its, which would bolster both commercial and res-idential tax revenue.
“That would be an ad-vantageous way to grow our tax base,” he said.
Ewing said he plans to tap into professional and personal networking to develop his campaign.
“I try to get out and meet and greet as many people as I can,” he said.
HIGH POINT – Jeffrey Golden said he’s enjoyed serving the public through his tour in the military and career in the nursing profession.
Now the 46-year-old High Point native wants to extend that service to High Point City Council.
The Persian Gulf War veteran of the U.S. Army will run for the Ward 1 seat now held by Council-
woman Ber-nita Sims. She couldn’t be reached for comment by The High Point En-terprise on Thursday.
The Ward 1 campaign will be Golden’s fi rst bid for public offi ce.
“I’ve always had the interest, done volunteer work with this organiza-tion or that organization. I just felt like now I have
the time and energy to do it,” said Golden, who’s been involved as a cam-paign volunteer in the past.
Golden said Thursday he’s running for Ward 1 not out of dissatisfaction with Sims, but because he believes he can contribute to the city as an elected of-fi cial.
Golden said he’s con-cerned about stagnation in the city that limits job growth, economic develop-ment and cultural activi-
ties. “I can’t remember the last time we built a new restaurant downtown. There’s parts of the city that have been run down a long time in my ward,” he said.
Golden, who spent 16 years in the Army and U.S. Army Reserves, ris-ing to the rank of a pla-toon sergeant for an evac-uation hospital unit, said he’ll highlight his service as a leadership trait. He served a year in Operation Desert Storm and Opera-
tion Desert Shield during the war to liberate Kuwait after the Iraqi invasion 20 years ago.
“I think my leadership in the military will trans-late well into this posi-tion,” he said about coun-cil.
Candidate fi ling for this year’s High Point munici-pal elections begins next month. Races will be de-cided in the Nov. 2 general election.

RALEIGH (AP) – A union-backed move-ment said Thursday it turned in more than double the number of signatures required to get an independent can-didate on the ballot to challenge Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell in November.
Supporters of North Carolina Families First turned in the last of 35,248 signatures to the Mecklenburg County elections board on Thursday morning, group spokesman Greg Rideout said. Offi cials in county election of-fi ces across the 8th District now have two weeks to verify whether the group has collected signatures from 16,929 registered voters to qualify Wendell Fant as a candidate.
Don Wright with the State Board of Elections said neither records nor long-time staffers recall a congressional candidate unaffi liated with a party getting on the ballot in North Car-olina using the petition process.
“I am just ecstatic,” Chuck Stone, the North Carolina Families First chairman, said in an interview. “I think it shows that the voters, especially in the 8th District, defi nitely want an alternative choice. I think this is an historic occasion.”
Stone said Fant, a for-mer Kissell aide, has expressed interest in running but hasn’t said he’s in the race for sure. Stone said the signa-tures couldn’t be used to recruit another can-didate if Fant decides not to run.

Commuter torn between great boss, closer job
D ear Abby: I am 23 years old and I adore my job and
my boss. There is only one problem – I must commute more than an hour each way, and the drive (especially with gas prices these days) is kill-ing me.
I have been with the company for more than a year, and I recently heard that the parent corporation is hiring for a position similar to mine in the town that I live in. I desperately want to apply for the transfer, but I have no idea how to approach the subject with my boss, since I feel I owe her so much. She hired me for the position when I was fresh out of college with absolutely no experience.
Abby, help me! How do I ask to leave a job that I love? – Satisfi ed Employ-ee in Valdosta, Ga.
Dear Employee: You are confusing a business relationship with one that is personal. You are also not the fi rst person to want to leave a job because the commute is tiring and expensive.
Go to your boss, tell her you heard a position is opening up close to home, and that you would like to transfer for the reasons you told me. Then ask if she will put in a good word for you. When she hears why you want to be closer to home, I’m sure she’ll do it.
Dear Abby: My
boyfriend, “Jonah,” and
I share a loving and fun rela-tionship. Appar-ently, I am better than average looking. I know this because people constantly ask my boy-
friend, “Wow, how did you get her?” or, “Man, you must pay her to date you!”
I always give Jonah hugs and tell him how attracted I am to him, which is true. My prob-lem is the attention I’ve been receiving has started to affect HIM. Now he makes comments about how fat he is (he’s not), or that his skin is bad (everyone gets zits!), or that I should leave him for someone “better” looking.
Abby, I love this man and want to marry him. How do I convince Jonah that he’s my hot, sexy boyfriend whom I love to pieces? – Hot Mama in Oregon
Dear Hot Mama: I can’t script you, but when Jonah starts putting him-self down, try something like this: “You’re not giving yourself – or me – enough credit. Life isn’t a beauty contest. You appeal to me on MANY levels, and your looks are just part of the reason I’m attracted to you. Those other men are jealous of what we have together,
and none of them can hold a candle to you.”
Dear Abby: My hus-
band and I have been married for a year. It’s my second marriage and his fi rst. Because we were unable to afford a wed-ding at the time, we mar-ried at the courthouse.
We are now having a wedding so we can share this with our family and friends.
Some of our friends and family think we are wasting money or look-ing for gifts. We have not registered anywhere and have made no gift requests. Are we making a mistake? Should we simply have taken the money we’re spending on this special day and put it toward a trip for us? – Blushing Bride in Michigan
Dear Blushing Bride: Your mistake may have been in calling your celebration a “wedding.” If you had called it a “renewal of vows with family and friends” it might have been more warmly received. As to whether you should have taken the money you’re spending and used it for a honeymoon, I think it’s a little late to be second-guessing yourself – don’t you?

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

HIGH POINT – Even though it lasted less than four days, re-tailers say some shoppers may still have the opportunity to take advantage of the North Carolina Energy Star Appli-ance Rebate Program’s second phase.
The funds for phase two, which provided discounts on Energy-Star qualifi ed items such as refrigerators, freez-ers, air conditioning units and more, ran out by the afternoon
on June 4. But even those who missed the program are still trying to reap the benefi ts.
John Rothrock, appliance sales specialist at Lowe’s on N. Main Street, said customers are still trickling through the store’s appliance department and asking about rebate oppor-tunities.
“I just had somebody inquire about it,” he said Thursday. “It seems like people still don’t know that it’s over.”
Steve Brown, assistant man-ager in the appliance depart-ment at Sears in Oak Hollow
Mall, is pointing customers who still want to take advan-tage of the program to its wait-ing list. Buyers can fi ll out the same online application at www.ncappliancerebate.com as if they were applying for the rebate, but they will be put on a waiting list. According to the N.C. Energy Offi ce, those who applied before funds ran out will receive a pre-paid Visa card with the rebate amount. They have 15 days to spend the money before the card expires and the funds go back into the program.
Brown said those who were added to the rebate list within the fi rst few hours of the pro-gram’s end probably have a better chance to still receive a rebate.
“I really would have thought the program would have ended sooner because it only began with $1 million,” he said. “I think some of the people who got there (on the waiting list) because some people canceled their orders due to refrigerators not fi tting and other things.”
But some people may have forgotten to use their rebate
cards, allowing funds to fl owback into the program for thoseon the waiting list, he said.
“With gift cards, people tendto keep those for a while,” hesaid. “But the rebate card isgoing to expire in 15 days, so Ithink some people still have theopportunity to get in there anduse and the program.”
Though not as signifi cant asphase one of the program, thesecond phase brought a wel-comed phase to the stores, Ro-throck and Brown said.

THOMASVILLE – Thom-asville City Schools will deliver and serve meals to students ages 18 and younger begining Mon-day.
“So many children are not fed during the sum-mer, whether it’s because their parents work and don’t have time or they just can’t afford it,” said Brenda Watford, child nu-trition director for Thom-asville City Schools. “We wanted to provide meals to help.”
The program is part of the U.S Department of Ag-riculture’s Summer Food Service Program to help keep children’s diets sta-ble during the summer.
“During the school year, the children have the gu-rantee to eat two meals a day,” Watford said. “Dur-ing the summer when schools aren’t open, stu-dents don’t get that same opportunity.”
This could mean that many go hungry, leaving children malnurished with weakend immune systems. “That is why
this program is so vital,” Watford added.
The program has seen a great deal of success in the community.
“We see between 900 to 1,000 children a day,” Watford said.
Lunch is delivered via a van that drives to eight bus stops throughout the school district. A table is set up along with an array of various colored umbrellas and lunch is served to those who show up.
The program has been has been in existance since 1968 on a national level. Thomasville City Schools have taken part for a large chunk of those years.
“I’ve been working with Thomasville City Schools for 16 years now, and it’s been going on far longer than that,” Watford said.
The Summer Food Ser-vice Program for Chil-dren lasts through Aug. 13 with July 5 off due to the Fourth of July holiday.
Times may vary for the different stops depending on how many children are served at each stop and whether or not the
van is running behind. Lunch also will be served daily at both the Thomas-ville Middle and Primary School cafeterias, the F.D. Thomas Education Center, Emanuel Baptist Church and the Thomas-ville Housing Authority.
Times also vary for theselocations.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s current cap for monetary damages it could receive from oil spills would be eliminat-ed in legislation approved Thursday by a House committee in response to the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Environmental groups lined up behind the leg-islation, which they say would ensure oil compa-nies would be fully liable for damages to oil spills originating from facilities in North Carolina’s coast-al fi shing waters should exploration be allowed to expand, as the Obama administration’s plans entail.
The measure would decouple North Carolina from the federal govern-ment’s cap of all removal costs plus $75 million. The Legislature last tinkered with the issue 20 years ago.
“The spill like the one in the Gulf could serious-ly damage our coast and the economy that depends on it,” Margaret Hartzell with Environment North
Carolina told lawmakers.The state’s tourism and
fi shing industry could take years to recover from such a spill, not counting the grave environmental effects, said Rep. Pricey Harrison, D-Guilford, one of the bill’s supporters. Harrison said the mea-sure could apply to dam-age caused by the BP spill in April if oil reaches the North Carolina coast after the bill becomes law.
The bill also directs state regulators to seek more information before deciding if any offshore oil or gas facility was consis-tent with state guidelines for land and water use. State agencies also would be ordered to examine the state’s plan for cleaning up after an oil spill like the underwater BP spill.
Rep. Pryor Gibson, D-Anson, a committee member, said it appears the legislation was being rushed through the House and questioned whether it would make any differ-ence to better prepare the state for a clean up or pro-tect the coastline.
Bill would remove oil spill liability cap for NC

Q uestion: What is “side dressing?” I have heard I should
be doing it for my toma-toes.
Answer: The application of fertilizer after plants are established is called “side dressing,” and some plants respond more than others. This application should contain primarily nitro-gen.
The major portion of the nitrogen your plants use comes from three sources:
• The breakdown of or-ganic matter;
• The yearly maintenance application of fertilizer;
• The nitrogen side-dress-ings.
Leafy vegetables need earlier side-dressings of high nitrogen than fruiting vegetables. Many vegetable crops benefi t from addition-al nitrogen after they have made considerable growth, started to fl ower, or set their fi rst fruits. Too much nitrogen before this time will delay maturity and re-duce fl owering and yields.
Until the plant starts fruiting or makes consider-able growth, the fi rst two sources of nitrogen supply enough. But afterward, the demand of the plant for ni-trogen often exceeds that supplied by the fi rst two sources, and a nitrogen side-dressing is needed.
Apply in a band along one side of the row and about 4 to 6 inches from the plants, depending on the plant size. Calcium nitrate is often suggested as a side dressing material. Other materials can be used by comparing their nitrogen content.
For an organic source of nitrogen, blood meal pro-vides about 12 percent ni-trogen in a fairly quickly available form for side dressing. Always water well directly after applying fertilizer side dressings to plants.
Plants that respond to side dressing are tomatoes, squash, sweet potato, beans, corn and greens.

THE SEASON OF SUMMER IS HERE!
A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!
Summer is the warmest of the four seasons in the United States and the Northern Hemi-sphere. Summer starts around June 21 and usually lasts until the 22nd or 23rd of Sep-tember. It is a warm-weather season in the United States, because at this time of the year, the sun is closest to the Northern Hemisphere of our planet. The first day of summer is June 21, which coincides with a phenomenon called the Summer Solstice. A solstice is the longest day of the year in a particular hemisphere, or the day on which we experience the most sunlight. While the Northern Hemisphere experiences summer in June, the Southern Hemisphere experiences the beginning of their winter season. The word “summer” is de-rived from the Old Norse word, sumar. During the summer in the United States, kids are on break from school. This is a time that they are able to play sports, swim, and spend time on vacation with their families. Picnics are popular, as well as certain food and drinks like watermelon and lemonade. During the summer, many plants and crops, such as citrus fruits, are ready for harvest. These are just a few things that make summer so enjoyable.

Dry eyes promote tearingD ear Dr. Donohue:
I have dry eyes. It’s very disturb-
ing, because they have induced an increased tear production, and the tears interfere with my vision. I do use artifi cial tears, but they help only for a short while. Can you pro-vide any advice? – F.Z.
It sounds contradic-tory to say that dry eyes cause watery eyes. But it’s true. Dry eyes shift the tear glands into high gear, and they produce torrents of tears. Treat-ing the tearing hinges on fi nding the cause for your dry eyes.
Medicines sometimes are to blame. Drugs used for many digestive problems, some antide-pressants, Parkinson’s disease medicines and sleeping pills are only a few of the drugs that dry the eyes.
Illnesses that do it include thyroid gland disorders, psoriasis, rosacea and Sjogren’s (SHOW-grins) syndrome. You might not be famil-iar with Sjogren’s, but it’s not such a rare thing. It’s an immune attack on the tear glands, the salivary glands or both. When both are under at-tack, as they frequently are in this illness, the result is dry eyes and dry mouth.
You might try a dif-ferent brand of artifi cial tears, or you could try artifi cial tears without any preservatives. Those kinds of tears are expen-sive. Restasis, a prescrip-tion medicine, often can lead to a satisfactory solution to the dry-eyes
problem.You can’t
successful-ly treat this condition on your own. You need the help of an eye doctor to pinpoint the prob-lem and suggest
the best treatment for you. It could be that dry eyes aren’t the reason for your watery eyes. Perhaps you have an entirely different cause, such as a blocked tear duct. That duct drains tears from the eyes. A plugged duct doesn’t, and tears stream down the cheeks. An eye doctor often can unplug the duct with a simple offi ce procedure.
Dear Dr. Donohue: My wife is 85 years old and suffers from de-mentia. Her short-term memory is completely gone. She takes Na-menda and some other medicines.
Our friend’s son, who is a doctor, recommends Axona in addition to Na-menda. My wife’s doctor doesn’t know much about it. Her New York doctor does not think it would be helpful.
We would appreciate hearing your thoughts on Axona. – J.B.
Dear Dr. Donohue: My mother has Al-zheimer’s disease. I am greatly interested in the food supplement Axona, which is a new Alzheim-er’s treatment. What do
you think of it? – L.P.
Axona’s main ingre-dients are triglycerides, fat-like substances. The manufacturer states that Axona supplies Alzheimer’s patients withan alternate fuel for braincell metabolism and can, thereby, improve the functioning of those with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.
The product appears to be safe. I can’t vouch for its effectiveness. If you want to try it and the price is not pro-hibitive, you can do so. Don’t, however, expect a miraculous transforma-tion. The Medical Letter, a respected journal that evaluates medicines, saysabout Axona that “its ef-fectiveness remains to be established.” You know, don’t you, that it requiresa prescription?
Dear Dr. Donohue: I went to give blood at the Red Cross. The receiving bottle had only an inch of blood and then bubbled. They fi nally stopped the procedure and said, “We are not going to get a pint from you.” My heartbeat is 58, and I read where it should be 60 to 100. Is that the reason I couldn’t produce a pint of blood? I am not athletic. What can I do to produce more blood? – J.A.
There’s nothing wrong with you. The needle or the tube inserted in your vein abutted against the vein wall. Blood couldn’t get through. A heartbeat of 58 is no danger if you have no symptoms, and you don’t.

REOPENING ---
The Melting Pot restaurant in Greensboro will reopen its doors Tuesday after closing for busi-ness more than seven months ago.
“We were able to bring back 17 of our former employees and give them their jobs back,” said Kevin Burbine, owner of the restaurant. “We know how dif-fi cult it is to fi nd employment in this economy, so it is certainly our pleasure to wel-come them back to the team after closing seven months ago.”
The restaurant closed in Octo-ber 2009 for an intended reloca-tion. However, the owner decid-ed to update the existing restau-rant instead with the following elements – re-done restrooms, re-upholstered booths, new ceiling, carpet, artwork, light-ing, chairs, inte-rior and exterior paint schemes and a repaved parking lot.
The restaurant is at 2924 Battle-ground Ave., Suite A.

Made in KenyaNecklaces brought to High Point
are sold to help women in Nairobi slumBY JIMMY TOMLIN
ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
H IGH POINT – Some jewelry catches your eye, but this jewelry also catches your
heart.“Gold and silver and precious
stones are lovely, but this has a different quality to it,” says Scott Heiman. “And then when you know the story behind it, that makes it all the more appealing.”
Heiman, a member of Green Street Baptist Church, brought back nearly 2,000 necklaces from a mission trip to Kenya earlier this year, with intentions to sell them for the Kenyan women who made them. More than half of the necklaces, which sell for $3 to $5 apiece, have been sold, according to Heiman.
“My wife (Kim) took them to work with her, and the ladies there just scooped them up,” Heiman says. “It’s really just a matter of putting them in front of people and telling the story, and people buy them.”
Heiman’s 9-year-old daughter, Lora Beth, even sold some at a recent chili cookoff Heiman was participating in.
According to Heiman, the origin of the necklaces can be traced to a previous Green Street
mission trip to the Kibera slum district of Nairobi, Kenya. Some of the women from Green Street encouraged the Kenyan women to make beaded necklaces that could be sold in the United States.
“They could take scraps of paper, tear it into strips, then roll it and coat it with some sort of shellac and make it into beaded necklaces,” Heiman explains. “Our ladies told them, ‘This would be a great business for you to let us sell these for you and see how they do.’”
Shipping the necklaces from Kenya proved expensive, so on his most recent trip to the African country, Heiman agreed to bring back a suitcase full of necklaces to sell.
“I brought back approximately
2,000 necklaces,” he says, “and they’ve been selling well.”
Jeff Benfi eld, another member of Green Street Baptist, sold some of the necklaces at last week’s Party on the Plank event in downtown High Point.
“What sells them is the story, when you tell people you’re sell-ing them to help these women in Kenya,” Benfi eld says.
Even though the necklaces sell
for so little in the United States, the money goes a long way for the women in Kenya, Heiman says.
“I’ll send them $300 or so at a time, and that’s like a year’s salary to them,” he says. “It’s an enormous benefi t to them.”
INTERESTED?----The necklaces made by the women of the Kibera slum district of Nairobi, Kenya, sell for $3 to $5 apiece.
To purchase one of the neck-laces, contact Scott Heiman at (336) 491-1575 or scott [email protected]; or Jeff Benfi eld at (336) 848-8505.
Library hosts party, book sale
P arty on the Plank is just one of the major events taking
place this month at High Point Public Library, 901 N. Main St.
On June 25-26, Friends of the Library will be holding a book sale, with a mem-bers-only session from 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday. You can obtain a Friends of
the Library membership at the door that night for $10.
The regu-lar book sale runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Satur-day. Brenda Haworth, one of the sale’s orga-nizers, says a bag sale
from 2 to 3 p.m. will top off the Saturday sale.
Friends of the Library has been holding such sales for years – usually $2 for hardback books, fi ve for $1 for paperbacks and softcovers, and children’s books going for 50 cents for hardback books and 25 cents for paperbacks – but, because of tight budgets being adopted by governmental bodies that help fund libraries, money raised by the book sale is as important as ever.
Typically, the Friends’ book sale raises $4,000 to $5,000, with proceeds ben-efi ting the library. More information: 883-3660.
RAISING FUNDSDiane Robinson sends
a reminder that the Khalif Temple No. 144 is sponsor-ing the 31st Annual Sickle Cell Golf Tournament – with 8 a.m. tee-off – June 26, at Bryan Park Golf Course, Greensboro.
Proceeds help provide support services to more than 400 clients with sickle cell and thousands with sickle cell trait by Piedmont Health Services and Sickle Cell Agency. Sickle cell disease mainly affects persons of African descent but also occurs in those of Greek, Italian, Southeast Asian, Latino and European descent. PHSSCA is a non-profi t community health agency that works to help patients reach their full potential by providing comprehensive services for sickle cell and other related genetic disorders in Alamance, Caswell, Forsyth, Guilford, Ran-dolph and Rockingham counties. Registration deadline for the tourna-ment is June 19 with a $65 individual entry fee, $325 team entry fee. For additional information, call James Williams at (336) 202-4984 or James Upchurch at (336) 382-6968.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Take hold of your future. You have to be forthright and engaging if you want to persuade people to bank on you and your talent. Your skills must be developed and utilized to the fullest. Your ability to visualize and ex-plain what you see to others will put you ahead and help you succeed. Your numbers are 6, 10, 20, 22, 38, 31, 40
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Concentrate on the goals you have set and don’t look sideways or back. It’s full steam ahead if you want to be successful. You have lots to offer, but giving too much for nothing will not help you reach your target. ★★★★
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can resolve any troublesome issues in your personal life if you address them directly. Choose diplomacy over stubbornness. A creative idea you have been mulling over can bring in extra cash. ★★★
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t hide your feelings when it is necessary to get them out in the open in order to fi x trouble spots in your life. Be honest with yourself as well as with the people involved. A little romancing will go a long way if you are trying to impress someone. ★★★
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be persistent, truthful and to the point. Facts must be laid out for everyone to see. A money deal can be excep-tionally good for you if it brings with it more com-fort, less stress and a new outlook. ★★★
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Help is on the way and your plans can be executed. There is change per-sonally, professionally and geographically that will help pave the way to bigger and better op-portunities. Don’t let someone’s bragging cause insecurities. ★★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t hold back or you may end up looking worse. You’ll have to explain your personal situation if you want to avoid a feud. Travel may entice you but it will be costly and lead to a work-related problem. ★★★
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you let an-ger take over, you will miss the point being made. Physical activity or a challenge that can occupy your mind will ease tension and help you avoid making a mistake when dealing with friends, rel-atives or children. A fi nancial deal can go either way depending on how you handle it. ★★★
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Fix up your surroundings and it will have a benefi cial effect on the way you do and see things. Learn or de-velop a skill that can help you advance. You have to put in an effort to get a return. ★★★★★
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be a little disjointed and inconsistent but that will attract interest from someone who sees your po-tential and your adaptability. It’s best to wait and fi nd out the facts before taking action. Spend time mastering something new. ★★
ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid confl icts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.
TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
Rose, our club member whose goodwill toward her fellow players is so admirable, has taken on Unlucky Louie as a recla-mation project.
“His problem is not stopping to think,” Rose told me. “I’m urging him to play with more delib-eration.”
Against 3NT, Louie, West, led a diamond, and East took the ace and led the queen, winning. East shifted to a spade, and South won with the jack and forced out the ace of clubs. Louie’s king of dia-monds won the defenders’ last trick: making three.
CLUB TRICK“East must have been
upset,” I said. “Louie beats 3NT if he overtakes the queen of diamonds with his king and leads the ten to force out the jack. When he takes the ace of clubs, he can cash two dia-monds. That’s the marked defense: South has fewer than four spades for his bid of 2NT and can’t make 3NT without a club trick.
“I was East,” Rose sighed, “and I managed to be tactful. I gave Louie a pat on the back when he deserved a kick in the seat of his pants, which is what he plays by.”
DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S A 8 H K 9 8
7 D 9 8 C K Q 10 9 8. You open one club, and your partner bids one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say?
ANSWER: You have two options, both imper-fect. I can accept a rebid of two clubs, but that re-bid would suggest a six-card suit. I prefer to bid 1NT. One advantage is that if partner has a hand such as K 7 6 4 2, A 4 3 2, 7 6 5, 4, he would pass two clubs but can try two hearts over 1NT.

WHO’S NEWS---
Jon Beason wasn’t immedi-ately concerned when he saw Carolina Panthers teammate Thom-as Davis tumble to the turf and grab his surgically repaired right knee earlier this week.
It was indeed the anterior cruciate ligament – again. Seven months after making a remark-ably fast recovery from a torn ACL, Davis is likely lost for the season af-ter suffering the same injury.
It could lead Beason, a Pro Bowl middle line-backer, to move to Davis’ old spot in the Panthers’ 4-3 scheme.

T he passing of John Wooden leaves a huge void in the college basketball world.
Coach Wooden posted some incredible numbers at UCLA – 10 national titles, an 88-game winning streak and a 620-147 re-cord in 27 seasons as The Wizard of West-wood.
But in the 1962 Final Four, the numbers 82-80 stand out for Wake Forest basketball fans.
The Deacons defeated the Bruins by that score in the national third-place game at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky.
Len Chappell scored 26 points for Wake and Billy Packer added 22.
That marked the last time UCLA would fall in NCAA Tournament play until 1974.
The Bruins embarked on an NCAA-record 38-game tournament winning streak in 1964. UCLA captured nine national titles in 10
seasons before N.C. State famously outlasted the Bruins for a double-overtime triumph in the 1974 national semifi nals.
But 12 years before Norm Sloan’s Cardiac Pack did the trick, Bones McKinney’s Demon Deacons showed the world Wooden’s Bruins could be beaten in the NCAA tourney.
It just didn’t happen very often.– MARK MCKINNEY

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
OAK RIDGE – Michelle Wilkerson is leaving High Point Christian Academy for Oak Ridge Military Academy, offi cials at ORMA an-nounced Thursday.
Wilkerson helped guide the HPCA volleyball program from its infancy, turning the team into a state power in the N.C. Indepen-
dent Schools Athletic Association ranks. She leaves the Cougars for a school that nearly had to shut its doors last year due to dwindling enrollment and funding issues.
Oak Ridge athletic director Otis Yelverton announced the hir-ing of both Wilkerson and base-ball coach Alan Ashkinazy in a statement released by the school Thursday.
“We’re excited about all the talent and success these coaches bring to the table,” Yelverton said. “It’s another example of providing our cadets with oppor-tunities to succeed in all aspects of their educational experience at Oak Ridge.”
Wilkerson exits HPCA on top after leading the Cougars to the 2A state championship in the
fall. Wilkerson competed at UNC Greensboro and, in addition to her undergraduate degree from UNCG, has a law degree from Re-gent University School of Law in Virginia.
“I believe I have a great deal to offer Oak Ridge Military Acade-my and can help the Academy ac-complish goals,” Wilkerson said in the statement.

Banner night for Wilson
DON DAVIS JR. | HPE
Adrian Wilson poses with his jersey during a ceremony at T.W. Andrews auditorium on Thursday night. Andrews re-tired the No. 9 jersey of Wilson, who now stars as an All-Pro safety for the Arizona Cardinals.
BY DANIEL KENNEDYSPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
HIGH POINT – Few events generate such a buzz as when former members of a community unite with current fi xtures to create something special. Thurs-day night marked such an occasion at T. Wingate Andrews High School, as the Red Raiders honored former student-athlete and current Arizona Car-dinals’ safety Adrian Wil-son by retiring his No. 9 football jersey.
As he stepped to the mi-crophone to refl ect upon a journey that has taken him from High Point to the height of his profes-sion – playing well in Su-per Bowl XLIII – a hum-bled Wilson indicated he has not forgotten much along the way.
“I remember the good times here, pulling strength from those times that would help me in the future,” Wilson said before a near-capacity crowd in the Andrews au-ditorium. “I appreciate all those who have said nice things about me, but it hasn’t always been this way. I had to learn what it takes to be a man and I learned a lot of the tools I have now from 1994-1998. For those of you that truly know me, thank you.”
With current and for-mer Red Raider coaches, parents, players and stu-dents looking on, Wilson ditched the words he pre-
Andrews retires his
No. 9 jersey
pared on paper for a more personal statement to his peers. He personally ac-knowledged several mem-bers of the audience in gratitude and appreciation for the time they contribut-ed toward what he referred to as the act of “molding” him into the player and person he is today.
“I try to take everything out of a football context and put it into the context of being a man,” Wilson said as he implored the ath-letes in attendance to con-sider life outside of sports. “Money doesn’t mean a lot to me now. Everybody that
knows me knows that I would give my last.”
For some, the return of Wilson to the Triad repre-sented a chance to marvel at one of the NFL’s defen-sive standouts. Others pointed to his role in one of the most successful eras in Andrews history, both aca-demically and athletically.
No matter the reason for gathering Thursday, the decision for Andrews to retire Wilson’s jersey was cause for celebration of a player who reminds fans and future football stars of a very important trait on the three-time Pro Bowl-
er’s resume: success at ev-ery level, the right way.
Becky Smothers, mayor of High Point, noted Wil-son’s resolve to do things the “right way” as she pre-sented him the keys to the city, praising his decision to skip the 2010 Pro Bowl – his fourth – in favor of being present for the birth of his youngest son.
Current principal Rod-ney Wilds lauded Wilson for his character and in-tegrity. Retired Andrews athletic director Sue Shinn jovially cited his “cocky at-titude that developed into quiet confi dence.”
After 10 honored guests fi nished delivering their remarks of praise, former Andrews head football coach Dave Mizell (who coached Wilson during his varsity career) took center stage as the framed jersey was unveiled and then turned the ceremony over to his former player.
“Some say there is no such thing as an ex-Marine. There’s also such thing as an ex-Red Raider,” Mizell said. “Adrian may have learned a lot of his skills on the foot-ball fi eld at college and in the pros, but he learned how to talk trash in High Point.”
CHARLOTTE (AP) – A cocky Muhsin Muhammad joined a Caro-lina franchise in 1996 that was be-ginning only its second season, and over the next two decades the Pan-thers and Muhammad effectively grew up and matured together.
That’s why the former Pro Bowl receiver’s retirement announce-ment was so lengthy. There were a lot of memories to go over and a lot
of people to thank.Carolina’s career
leader in catches and yards receiving walked away from the game on Thurs-day after 14 seasons, 11 of which were spent in Charlotte,
where Muhammad made a trans-formation on and off the fi eld.
“I’ve done everything I could possibly do in an NFL career for 14 years, outside of actually win-ning a championship ring,” Mu-hammad said. “I’ve played in two Super Bowls, I have Super Bowl records and I’ve done a lot of good things throughout my career. I’m full, I’m fulfi lled. I’m at peace with my decision.”
The 37-year-old Muhammad had
said after the 2009 season that he wanted to continue playing. But after the Panthers began a youth movement and chose not to re-sign him, Muhammad had to decide if he wanted to try to play elsewhere.
A desire to spend more time with the private equity fund he recently started and possibly do television work made the deci-sion easier.

Atlanta’s Brooks Conrad tumbles across home plate to score before Arizona catcher John Hester can apply the tag during the ninth inning of Thursday afternoon’s game in Phoenix. The Braves won 11-7 to secure a split of the four-game series.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX – Brooks Conrad scrambled home to break a ninth-inning tie and the Atlanta Braves, after blowing a fi ve-run lead, beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-7 Thursday.
The speedy Conrad hit for Da-vid Ross, who had a double, single and two RBIs. Conrad singled, stole second and made a headfi rst slide to score on pinch-hitter Brian McCann’s one-out single off closer Chad Qualls (1-3).
Jason Heyward and Eric Hinske also had RBI singles off Qualls. A sacrifi ce fl y by Troy Glaus off Car-los Rosa capped the late burst.
Atlanta matched its season high with 16 hits yet still left 12 on base for a total of 47 in the four games. The Diamondbacks struck out 16 times, a season high for them and for Braves pitchers.
Reliever Jonny Venters’ throw-ing error on what should have been an inning-ending double play set up a three-run double by ex-Brave Kelly Johnson in the eighth that tied it at 7.
Arizona loaded the bases in the ninth against Billy Wagner, but Rusty Ryal and pinch hitter Chris Snyder struck out to end it.
PADRES, METS SPLIT TWONEW YORK – Jonathon Niese
pitched a one-hitter for his fi rst ca-reer complete game and the New York Mets overcame a triple play to beat the San Diego Padres 3-0 on Thursday night for a doubleheader split.
Niese allowed only Chris Denor-fi a’s leadoff double in the third in-ning, his second stellar start since coming off the disabled list Satur-day. He faced 28 batters, one more than the minimum, in New York’s fi rst complete game this season.
Mat Latos outpitched Johan San-tana in the opener, and San Diego stopped New York’s nine-game home winning streak with a 4-2 victory.
REDS 7, GIANTS 6CINCINNATI – Brandon Phillips
had four hits, including a two-run triple in the eighth inning that ral-lied the Reds to yet another come-back win.
Phillips’ triple off Guillermo Mota (0-2) tied it at 6. Joey Votto’s single up the middle gave the Reds
their 12th win in their fi nal at-bat, the most in the majors.
Cincinnati has a streak of nine straight losing seasons, its longest in more than a half-century.
Left-hander Arthur Rhodes (2-1) retired fi ve batters – his longest ap-pearance in two years – for the win. Francisco Cordero retired the side in the ninth, getting his 17th save in 21 tries.
ASTROS 5, ROCKIES 4DENVER – Roy Oswalt struck out
nine, Humberto Quintero homered and Houston won its third straight.
Quintero got three hits and Tom-my Manzella drove in a career-high three runs as the Astros won for the ninth time in 12 games.
Oswalt (4-8) gave up four hits over seven innings and left with a 5-2 lead.
BREWERS 5, CUBS 4 (10)MILWAUKEE – Carlos Gomez
raced home from fi rst base on a sac-rifi ce bunt and throwing error in the 10th inning, giving the Brewers a wild victory over Chicago.
Gomez pinch-hit and drew a lead-off walk from Bob Howry (1-1). Craig Counsell followed with a bunt and the speedy Gomez rounded second base and just kept going. First base-man Xavier Nady’s frantic throw to third sailed wild, allowing Gomez to score.
MARLINS 2, PHILLIES 0PHILADELPHIA – Josh Johnson
outdueled Roy Halladay in their perfect game rematch, pitching eight dominant innings and lead-ing the Florida Marlins over the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 Thursday night.
Johnson and Halladay last met on May 29 in Miami, when the Phillies ace threw the 20th perfect game in major league history in a 1-0 win.
This time, Johnson (7-2) gave up three hits, walked one and struck out fi ve as the Marlins ended a four-game losing streak.
Halladay (8-4) was sharp, too, allowing one run and six hits in eight innings. He fanned eight and walked one. Both Halladay and Johnson fi nished the outings with ERAs under 2.00 for the season.
NATIONALS 4, PIRATES 2WASHINGTON – Adam Dunn
and Josh Willingham homered in the fourth inning, Livan Hernan-dez made the lead stand up and the Washington Nationals beat Pitts-burgh 4-2 Thursday night to become the last team in the majors to sweep a series this season.
Hernandez (5-3) allowed two runs over six innings for his fi rst win in more than a month despite a re-spectable string of starts.
The Pirates lost their fi fth in a row.
BLUE JAYS 3, RAYS 2ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Brett
Cecil won his fi fth consecutive start, Alex Gonzalez homered and drove in two runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 on Thursday night.
Cecil (7-2) allowed one run and three hits over 6 2⁄3 innings. The left-hander has given up six earned runs in 36 1⁄3 innings over that stretch.
Carlos Pena hit his 129th homer with Tampa Bay, which set a fran-chise record.
WHITE SOX 3, TIGERS 0CHICAGO – John Danks pitched
seven innings of one-hit ball, Omar Vizquel homered and had a sui-cide-squeeze bunt, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 3-0 Thursday. A.J. Pierzynski also homered for the White Sox, who have won two straight games – their fourth winning streak of any kind this season.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Lee Westwood took advantageof no wind and a rain-softened course to shoot a 7-under 63 Thursday that equaled his best PGA Tourround and gave him a one-stroke lead in the sus-pended fi rst round of the St. Jude Classic.
The world’s No. 3-ranked player tuned up for theU.S. Open by tying the TPC Southwind course re-cord for the back nine with a 29. That’s where hehad four of his fi ve birdies and an eagle, and hebirdied his 10th hole to reach 7 under before pars onthe fi nal eight holes.
Severe thunderstorms stopped play Thursdaynight before the round was suspended nearly anhour later with 20 golfers still to fi nish.
Casey Wittenberg shot a 64, and Padraig Har-rington had a 65.
Defending champ Brian Gay opened with a 73along with Jordan Spieth, the Texas teen who be-came the sixth-youngest player to make a PGA cutat the Byron Nelson last month.
FENG LEADS BY ONESPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Shanshan Feng made fi ve
early birdies and shot an 8-under 64 to take a one-stroke lead over Juli Inkster and Na Yeon Choi atthe State Farm LPGA Classic.
Meena Lee, Alena Sharp, Anna Nordqvist, M.J.Hur and Song-Hee Kim were two shots back on acrowded leaderboard at Panther Creek CountryClub. Seven other players were within three shotsof the lead, including Cristie Kerr and Sophie Gus-tafson.
Feng’s round was so clean, her only near-blem-ish came on the 410-yard, par-4 18th, when she hada poor stance on her second shot. She was forced topitch out, knocked a three-quarter pitching wedgeto 8 feet and made a sidehill putt with a deft touchto save par.
MCGRANE, GODDARD SHOW WAYESTORIL, Portugal – Damien McGrane of Ireland
and Luke Goddard of England shot 8-under 64s toshare the lead after the fi rst round of the EstorilOpen.
Stuart Manley of Wales and Eirik Tage Johansenof Norway were a stroke back.
McGrane had eight birdies in a bogey-free round,but missed close opportunities with his putter onthe 10th, 17th and 18th. A 63 would have equaled hislowest score in 14 years on tour.
CURTIS CUP MATCHES RETURN HOME TO ESSEX CCMANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA, Mass. – The Curtis
Cup is home this weekend, and that is expected tomake the United States even tougher to beat.
The 36th biennial competition between teams ofeight amateur female golfers from the United Statesand Great Britian and Ireland will be held at EssexCounty Club. The Americans are riding a six-matchwinning streak and hold a 26-6-3 overall advantage.
Essex County Club also happens to be the homecourse of sisters Harriot and Margaret Curtis, whoestablished the competition in 1932. The competi-tion was also held at the club in 1938.
The three-day event begins today with three four-some matches in the morning and three more four-ball matches in the afternoon and concludes Sun-day with eight singles matches.
Both squads are young, a sign of the times as golf-ers are turning professional at younger ages. Withmost participants “one and done” in the Curtis Cupand then turning professional, each squad has onlyone competition veteran – 18-year-old KimberlyKim, of Pahoa, Hawaii, for the U.S., and 18-year-oldSally Watson, of Scotland, for GB&I.

HAT, BALL FROM STRASBURG’S DEBUTDONATED TO HALL OF FAME---
WASHINGTON (AP) – It took only one start for the Hall of Fame to take notice of Stephen Strasburg.
The Washington Nationals said Thursday they are donating to Cooperstown a Strasburg hat and a ball from his 14-strikeout debut this week.
Strasburg got another prized spot, too. He taped the Top 10 list for Thursday night’s broadcast of “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
Strasburg-mania also is prompting TBS to switch its coverage this Sunday. TBS will now show Wash-ington’s game at Cleveland, with Strasburg set to start.
TBS was previously scheduled to show the Phil-lies-Red Sox game.

LEXINGTON – Davidson County Com-munity College has named a new head volleyball coach. Heather Adkins as-sumed duties Monday and will lead the Storm women in the 2010 season.

The Chicago Blackhawks celebrate after they beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in overtime to win Game 6 of the NHL Stanley Cup fi nals on Wednesday night in Philadelphia.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – College athlet-ics are on the verge of a monumental shift, a realignment that could disintegrate one confer-ence, turn others into 16-school goliaths and have huge fi nancial im-plications on some of the biggest programs in the country.
The fi rst card fl ipped on Thursday, when Col-orado ditched the Big 12 for the Pac-10.
Next up are Nebraska and Missouri, both fac-ing decisions that could spark another exodus and the collapse of Big 12.
“(Now) the fi rst move is made, I think you’ll see the dominos start falling,” said Joel Max-cey, sports economist at the University of Geor-gia.
It’s already been a wild ride.
The Big Ten started it off by exploring plans to expand, an effort it hoped would add more eyes to its successful cable network and reach the NCAA minimum of 12 teams required to hold a conference champion-ship game in football.
The Big Ten’s big grab led to harried calls be-tween rivals, political ploys and behind-the-scenes maneuvering as schools across the coun-try look to make sure they’re not standing alone, pockets empty, when the music stops.
Colorado took a pre-emptive strike, deciding to head west to the Pac-10 instead of waiting to see what everyone else was going to do.
The next move could come today, when Ne-braska and Missouri face a stay-or-go ultima-tum from the Big 12.
Nebraska seems most likely to go.
The Cornhuskers have long-standing ties with many of the schools in the Big 12’s North Divi-
sion – they’ve playedKansas and Missouri infootball since the 1890s– but Big Ten moneymight be too much topass up.
Nebraska’s regentsare scheduled to meetFriday to discuss confer-ence realignment. Col-orado’s decision to boltearly could play a role inthe decision, though itmight already be a donedeal.
“It doesn’t say any-thing,” Nebraska ath-letic director Tom Os-borne said of Colorado’sannouncement. “I re-ally have no commenton this. I’m not sayingwe’re gone or not gone.Until we have a defi nitedecision, I’m not sayinganything else.”
Missouri faces a morediffi cult challenge.
The school has ex-pressed interest in join-ing the Big Ten andseemed to be a good fi twith its proximity andheated with Illinois. ButMissouri apparentlybecame a less-popularchoice for the conferencein recent weeks and theuniversity’s curator saidThursday the school hadnot been invited to jointhe Big Ten.
Even if Missouri de-cides to stay in the Big12, the school could beleft to forage amid thescraps of the Big 12 orsearching for another,lower-profi le, less-profi t-able conference.
The next round ofmovement could be themost volatile.
The Big Ten appearsto be interested in add-ing Notre Dame – asmost conferences would– though Fighting Irishathletic director JackSwarbrick said Thurs-day that the school’sposition hasn’t changedand wouldn’t commenton realignment.
The Big Ten mightalso be looking east, topilfer schools from theBig East.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – The NCAA threw the book at storied Southern California on Thursday with a two-year bowl ban, four years’ probation, loss of scholarships and forfeits of an entire year’s games for improper ben-efi ts to Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush dat-ing to the Trojans’ 2004 national championship.
USC was penalized for a lack of institutional control in the ruling by the NCAA following its four-year investigation. The reported cited nu-merous improper ben-efi ts for Bush and former basketball player O.J. Mayo, who spent just one year with the Trojans.
The coaches who pre-sided over the alleged misdeeds – football’s Pete Carroll and basket-ball’s Tim Floyd – left
USC in the past year.The penalties include the
loss of 30 football scholar-ships over three years andvacating 14 victories inwhich Bush played fromDecember 2004 throughthe 2005 season.
USC beat Oklahomain the BCS title game onJan. 4, 2005, and won 12games during Bush’sHeisman-winning 2005season, which endedwith a loss to Texas inthe 2006 BCS title game.
The NCAA says Bushreceived lavish giftsfrom two fl edgling sportsmarketers hoping tosign him. The men paidfor everything from ho-tel stays and a rent-freehome where Bush’s fam-ily apparently lived to alimousine and a new suitwhen he accepted hisHeisman in New York inDecember 2005.

MONTREAL (AP) – Lewis Ham-ilton sat shivering in an air-condi-tioned tent on a rainy, chilly day at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
“I hope the weather improves,” the McLaren star said Thursday, a day before the Formula 1 cars hit the track for practice for the Cana-dian Grand Prix.
Hamilton, coming off a victory two weeks ago in Turkey, won the 2007 race in Montreal for his fi rst Grand Prix victory.
“I love it here,” Hamilton said. “I have just always been able to dial the
car in here. It has suited my driving style, so hopefully we will see the same this weekend. I’m hoping the car will be quite competitive.”
The race at the demanding Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is back on the F1 schedule after a one-year absence.
In 2008, Robert Kubica raced to his lone F1 victory, teaming with Nick Heidfeld to give BMW Sauber a 1-2 fi nish.
“You have to reduce your down-force, but on the other hand, you have to have good mechanical grip,” said Kubica, now driving
for Renault. “There’s a lot of heavy braking, which I always like. ... It will be the fi rst time we will run lower downforce level wings, so we’ll have to see how our car will be compared to the others.”
The 2.71-mile road course sits on Ile Notre Dame, a slender land-fi ll island off the southern bank of the St. Lawrence River. With long straightaways – favoring low-downforce setups – and slow sharp corners and chicanes, the track will test the cars’ brakes, especially ear-ly on with full fuel loads.
F1 back in Canada after one-year break
ROSSBURG, Ohio (AP) – Jimmie Johnson led from start to fi nish to win Tony Stewart’s dirt track char-ity race Wednesday.
Johnson, the four-time defend-ing NASCAR Sprint Cup cham-pion, survived 14 cautions with Kyle Bush on his bumper for each restart to win the sixth running of the Prelude to a Dream on Eldora
Speedway’s half-mile oval owned by Stewart.
Busch fi nally lost track position on the fi nal restart with two laps left and fi nished fourth. Clint Bow-yer, who had the fastest qualifying time, fi nished second, and Carl Ed-wards was third after starting 17th.
Twenty-seven drivers, including 18 from the Sprint Cup series, com-
peted in late-model stock cars in the 30-lap event that benefi ted four children’s hospitals.
Stewart started from the back, but his track knowledge and dirt-track experience helped him fi nish sixth. Stewart elected to start from the back because of bonus money that would have gone to the hospi-tal designated for the winner.
Jimmie Johnson wins charity race
CHICAGO (AP) – From the fi rst day of training camp nine months ago, the Chicago Blackhawks felt the expectations. They were ev-erywhere, generated by champion-ship-hungry fans and by the play-ers themselves.
“We want to win the Stanley Cup. I think that’s what a lot of the guys are thinking,” Patrick Kane said after that fi rst practice on a steamy September day.
The Blackhawks, led by the 21-year-old Kane and their 22-year-old captain Jonathan Toews, made it happen.
Now they will parade with their teammates today through a city that is giddy because the Black-hawks have seized the Cup for the fi rst time since 1961.
When Kane was taken with the fi rst pick in the draft three years ago, it started the Blackhawks on their way to a remarkable rebirth. A year earlier they had chosen Toews in the fi rst round and now they have become the faces of the franchise both on and off the ice.
At such a young age, they have won the Cup and done so in a short
amount of time, accomplishing what some never do throughout their careers.
A United Center that four years ago was half empty now rocks and the Blackhawks are one of the hot-test tickets in town, a re-emergence that can be attributed to the efforts of owner Rocky Wirtz and his presi-dent John McDonough, who was hired away from the Chicago Cubs.
Kane ended the championship drought – the longest active one in the NHL – with a game-winning goal in overtime against the Flyers.
What an end to a whirlwind year for both Kane and Toews, who signed lucrative contract exten-sions with the Blackhawks in De-cember – fi ve-year deals worth $31.5 million each.
Toews was named the top forward at the Olympics games, where he helped Canada win the gold medal be beating Kane and the USA for the championship. He captured the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP, even though he didn’t man-age a goal in the six games against the Flyers, and fi nished the playoffs with 29 points.
Long time coming: Blackhawks are champs
GAME 6 EARNS HIGHEST RATINGFOR NHL GAME SINCE ’74---
NEW YORK (AP) – NHL television ratings have bounced back from the post-lockout doldrums – and way beyond.
The clincher of the Stanley Cup fi nals was the most-watched and highest-rated NHL game in 36 years. The Chicago Blackhawks’ 4-3 overtime win over the Phila-delphia Flyers in Game 6, which earned them their fi rst champion-ship since 1961, drew a 4.7 rating and 8 share Wednesday night on NBC.
That’s the best since a 7.6/27 for Game 6 of the Boston-Philadelphia series in 1974. It was 38 percent higher than the 3.4/6 for last year’s Pittsburgh-Detroit Game 6 and 9 percent higher than the 4.3/8 for Game 7 in 2009.
Ratings represent the percent-age of all homes with televisions tuned into a program. Shares rep-resent the percentage of all homes with TVs in use at the time.
WASHINGTON (AP) — New claims for jobless benefi ts fell for the third straight week but remain elevated, suggesting the labor market is still slug-gish.
Initial claims fell by 3,000 to a seasonally ad-justed 456,000, the Labor Department said Thurs-day. That’s nearly the same level as in January.
At the same time, the tally of laid-off workers continuing to claim job-less benefi ts fell by the largest amount in almost a year. That could be be-cause more people are fi nding work. But it may simply mean that they have exhausted their ini-
tial state benefi ts.Continuing claims fell
by 255,000 to 4.5 million, the lowest level since December 2008, the de-partment said. A Labor Department analyst said state agencies didn’t pro-vide any explanation for the drop.
In another report, the Commerce Department said the U.S. trade defi cit rose to the highest level in 16 months as exports fell for the second time in three months. That’s a potentially worrisome sign that Europe’s debt troubles are beginning to crimp American manu-facturers, which could im-pact the U.S. job market.
Still, stocks surged Thursday as investors ap-peared pleased with the two reports and with news that Chinese exports rose in May. The Dow Jones industrial average shot up more than 200 points in the fi rst hour of trading.
First-time claims have hovered near 450,000 since the beginning of the year after falling steadily in the second half of 2009. That has raised concerns among economists that hiring remains weak and could slow the recovery.
Claims peaked at 651,000 in March 2009. Most econ-omists will feel more opti-mistic that the economy is creating jobs once they
fall below 425,000.“In short, the downward
trend in layoffs which be-gan in the spring of last year is clearly over, at least for now,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist for High Fre-quency Economics. “With claims stranded at this level, big private sector payroll gains are just not on the agenda.”
Federal Reserve Chair-man Ben Bernanke said Wednesday that the econ-omy is likely to keep grow-ing this year. But he said growth won’t be healthy enough to reduce the job-less rate very quickly. Un-employment, currently at 9.7 percent, will likely see
only a “slow reduction,”he said.
Last week, the LaborDepartment said theeconomy generated only41,000 private-sector jobsin May, down from 218,000in April. Temporary cen-sus hiring added another411,000 jobs.
Economists also closelywatch the total number ofpeople claiming benefi ts.They monitor those whoare initially receiving 26weeks of state benefi ts, onaverage. But they are alsoconcerned about the num-ber of people who havetransitioned to extendedfederal unemploymentbenefi ts, which can lastup to 73 additional weeks.

A BP logo is seen at a petrol station in Birmingham, England, Thursday.
NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of BP bounced off a 14-year low Thursday, rising 9 percent, as the oil giant assured inves-tors that it can deal with the cost of the giant oil spill in the Gulf of Mex-ico.
Investors were also en-couraged by a note from a Citi Investment Research analyst, who kept a “Buy” on the shares.
Shares of BP jumped
$2.65, or 9.1 percent, to $31.85 in Thursday morning trading. Shares dropped 16 percent to $29.20 on Wednesday — the worst day for BP shares since the Deepwa-ter Horizon rig exploded seven weeks ago — and the lowest price for the stock since 1996.
Wednesday’s losses cut the company’s market value in half since then, a drop of $90 billion.
Political pressure is building on BP to slash its dividend or suspend it altogether until the well is capped and hundreds of miles of coastline have been cleaned up. Some in-vestors worry the billions of dollars in liabilities could wipe out the com-pany.
In a research note Thursday, Citi Invest-ment Research analyst Mark Fletcher said that
BP’s shares are underval-ued.
“Financially, there is no reason why BP can’t accommodate both divi-dend payments and com-fortably respond to Gulf of Mexico obligations,” he said.
BP has already spent more than $1.4 billion BP trying to contain and clean up the oil and pay claims to Gulf coast busi-nesses.
BP shares rebound from 14-year low
WASHINGTON (AP)— Treasury SecretaryTimothy Geithner saidChina has the potentialof becoming the larg-est foreign market forAmerican exports, but hesaid the country must domore to dismantle unfairtrade barriers.
He told Congresson Thursday that theObama administrationis committed to engagingforcefully with China tomake sure that Americanworkers are competingon a level playing fi eldwith Chinese workers.
“We want future growthin China to result in moreexports from the UnitedStates and more jobs in theUnited States,” Geithnersaid. “We want China tochange those policies thatdisadvantage Americancompanies.”
Geithner said distortionsin China’s currency policyare spreading beyond Chi-na’s borders and that re-form in this area was criti-cally important for the U.S.and the global economy.
“China is fast on its wayto becoming the world’ssecond largest economyand could potentially be-come the largest foreignmarket for U.S. exportsof goods and services,”Geithner said in testi-mony before the SenateFinance Committee.
Geithner said that asthe United States emergesfrom the worst recession indecades, its exports to Chi-na have rebounded muchmore rapidly than exportsto other parts of the worldand are now running 20percent above the pre-cri-sis levels. But he said thatU.S. exports were still be-ing held back by Chinesetrade practices, includingits currency system.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators have put in place new rules aimed at preventing a re-peat of last month’s har-rowing “fl ash crash” in the stock market.
Members of the Securi-ties and Exchange Commis-
sion on Thursday approved the rules, which call for U.S. stock exchanges to briefl y halt trading of some stocks that have big swings.
The exchanges will start putting the trading breaks into effect as early as Fri-day for six months.
The plan for the “circuitbreakers” was worked outby the SEC and the majorexchanges following theMay 6 market plunge thatsaw the Dow Jones indus-trials lose nearly 1,000points in less than a half-hour.

BERLIN (AP) — Ger-man Chancellor Angela Merkel pushed Thursday for changes in European treaties so that countries running excessive defi -cits or debts can be repri-manded. European Presi-dent Herman van Rompuy said there was “no taboo” about discussing that op-tion.
Merkel said after a meeting with van Rom-
puy in Berlin that clari-fying what will happen to countries that do not adhere to the EU sta-bility and growth pact might calm financial markets.
“I am of the opinion that we need a change of the treaties,” she said.
While van Rompuy stressed that “our prior-ity is to work within the framework of the trea-
ties,” he added “there is no taboo to speak about treaty changes” if neces-sary.
The comments come be-fore a meeting in Brussels next week in which EU leaders are expected to lay out broad plans to make their economies function better.
Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy wrote a joint letter this
week to European Com-mission President Jose Manuel Barroso calling on Europe to redouble ef-forts to regulate fi nancial markets and crack down on speculative trading by possibly banning so-called naked short selling across the trade bloc. Short-sell-ing occurs when traders sell shares or investments they do not own them-selves.

Americans’ wealth rises, Fed says
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans saw their wealth increase at the start of this year as the economic recovery boosted stock portfolios.
The Federal Reserve says household net worth rose by 2.1 per-cent in the fi rst three months of this year to $54.6 trillion. It marked the fourth consecutive quarter that Ameri-cans’ wealth grew.
Oil rises above $76 on positive news
NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices topped $76 a barrel Thursday following reports that China’s economy is still booming and U.S. job-less claims fell.
Motorists found pump prices lower again, as retail gasoline prices continued to slide across much of the country.
Benchmark crude for July delivery rose $1.56 to $75.94 a barrel in late morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It climbed as high as $76.30 earlier in the session.
Campbell Soup gets new face in NJ
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — The Campbell Soup Co. is making good on its promise to stay in its hometown of Camden, one of the nation’s most impoverished cities.
The food giant opened a new building at its headquarters Thursday.
The building is sort of the student union of the corporate campus, with conference rooms, a store and a shimmering cafete-ria. With its 280-foot-long wall emblazoned with the Campbell logo, it’s also the new face of the company in the city.
Campbell announced plans for the building more than three years ago, along with a more ambitious plan to over-see development of an offi ce park.
World stocks rise on ECB, Fed report
NEW YORK (AP) — Eu-ropean stocks rose Thurs-day after the European Central Bank left interest rates at a record low and promised short-term liquid-ity to the financial sector. An upbeat report from the Federal Reserve and lower U.S. jobs claims also helped, while BP’s stock came off 13-year lows.
Britain’s FTSE 100 gained 30.22 points, or 0.6 percent, to 5,116.18. Germany’s DAX added 59.72 points, or 0.98 percent, to 6,043.47, and France’s, CAC-40 was up 49.85 points, or 1.45 percent, to 3,496.62.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. trade defi cit rose to the highest level in 16 months as exports fell for the second time in three months, a potentially wor-risome sign that Europe’s debt troubles are begin-ning to crimp American manufacturers.
The Commerce Depart-ment said Thursday the trade defi cit widened to $40.3 billion in April, up by 0.6 percent from March. U.S. exports dropped 0.6
percent while imports de-clined by 0.4 percent.
U.S. manufacturing has been a standout perform-er as the U.S. recovers from the worst recession in decades. But the con-cern is that Europe’s debt crisis will slow growth in that part of the world and dampen demand in a key U.S. export market.
For April, exports slipped to $148.8 billion with demand for U.S. farm products falling by $647
million and weakness spread across a number of manufactured goods from electric generators to in-dustrial machinery and aircraft engines.
Imports edged down to $189.1 billion with de-mand for oil basically unchanged from March while total consumer goods imports dipped by $741 million with the biggest decline coming in pharmaceutical prod-ucts.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Lawyers for Dole Foods urged a judge to quickly conclude hearings in a case involving purported banana workers in Ni-caragua to protect those who blew the whistle on an alleged multimillion dollar fraud.
In documents fi led Thursday with Judge Vic-toria Chaney, the lawyers
said a manhunt was be-ing conducted in Nicara-gua for the so-called John Doe witnesses, who were being threatened with reprisals unless they re-canted their testimony.
The lawyers cited pur-ported statements by Ni-caraguan lawyer Antonio Hernandez Ordenana during a march and news conference last month in
which he declared his in-vestigators were workingto identify the John Doesand bring them before Ni-caraguan courts.
Dole lawyers said Or-denana boasted aboutobtaining “absoluciones”or sworn statements fromsome of the John Does say-ing they had been prom-ised payment by Dole togive false testimony.

J O H A N N E S B U R G (AP) – The world came to Soweto on Thursday for a celebration of soc-cer, music and unity on the eve of Africa’s fi rst World Cup, with a con-cert featuring interna-tional headliners Shaki-ra, the Black Eyed Peas and Alicia Keys.
Warm-up acts played for hours before the in-ternationally televised portion of the concert at Orlando Stadium began at 8 p.m. with a frenzy of fl ag waving, drumming and African-inspired dancing.
Veteran South African trumpeter Hugh Maseke-la took the stage with
“Grazin’ in the Grass,” a No. 1 international hit in 1968. He was quickly joined by a new South African star, Lira, who covered the late Miriam Makeba’s “Pata Pata,” another worldwide hit
that originated in South Africa.
The Black Eyed Peas were next with a slick medley of their hits, then it was back to Af-rica, with the blind duo Amadou & Mariam of Mali and their sinuous, driving sound.
Shakira, wearing an animal print, waka waka-ed – the anthem and dance of the World Cup. The turbaned Ti-nariwen brought the sounds of Mali’s desert nomads to the mix. The crowd swayed to Keys, and did the toyi-toyi – the protest dance of the apartheid era – to home-town favorites BLK JKS.

CHICAGO (AP) – A for-mer top aide to Rod Blago-jevich testifi ed Thursday that the then-governor said he had a deal to ap-point a state legislator to Barack Obama’s U.S. Sen-ate seat in exchange for letting a veto of ethics leg-islation stand.
Alonzo Monk testifi ed that Blagojevich was wor-ried the legislation would
hurt his ability to raise funds because it banned people with state con-tracts of $50,000 or more from donating to the cam-paigns of politicians who administered them.
Blagojevich, who had campaigned by saying he would bring a new era of ethics in state govern-ment, had complained the bill unfairly targeted
the governor’s offi ce. It had passed both houses without a single ‘no’ vote before his veto.
Monk quoted Blago-jevich as saying former state Senate President Emil Jones agreed to the alleged deal. But Jones called for the vote, which passed just over a month before Obama was elected president.
Former aide: Blagojevich said he made deal
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The fans love Carrie Underwood and they proved it again during the CMT Music Awards.
The former “American Idol” champ won Wednesday night’s top honor, video of the year for “Cowboy Casanova,” and CMT performance of the year for “Tem-porary Home” two months after making history by winning her second Academy of Country Music Awards entertainer of the year. Both awards are chosen by fans tuned into the live shows.
She was the night’s only multiple winner.
“They were there before I had any-thing, an album, a record deal, a tour or anything like that,” Underwood said after the show. “They built me from the ground up.”
The CMT Awards, which are chosen exclusively by fan voting, were another salute to some of country music’s top young stars. Lady Antebellum contin-ued its scorching run by winning group video of the year for the trio’s crossover hit “Need You Now” and Miranda Lam-bert taking female video of the year for “White Liar,” her fi rst No.1 song.
“Tonight’s all about the fans,” trio member Dave Haywood said after re-ceiving the belt buckle trophy given to winners. “Thank you fans!”
Lambert followed up three wins at the
ACM Awards with yet another win. Shejumped up and pumped her fi sts as shemade her way through the crowd andshouted, “My fi rst buckle! This rocks!”when she reached the stage.
Keith Urban won male video of theyear for “ ’Til Summer Comes Around.”After sending a shoutout to his wife, ac-tress Nicole Kidman, who attended theawards, he turned serious and talked ofthe oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Fans lift Carrie Underwood to two CMT Awards wins
