TRIAD – The fi rst week of June ... thoughts turn to summer vaca-tions, memories of the just-past Memorial Day weekend ... and voting?

That’s right – voting will begin Thursday for three area runoff elections from last month’s party primaries.

Polls for early voting, known for-mally as one-stop absentee voting, will remain open through June 19 leading up to runoff Election Day itself June 22.

Days and times for early voting vary with the county. In Davidson, Guilford and Randolph counties, early voting only will take place at the board of elections offi ces in each county.

The three area runoffs are tak-ing place because the top vote-get-ter in each race didn’t receive in excess of 40 percent of the total vote in the May 4 primary.

HIGH POINT – The second phase of the North Carolina Energy Star State Appliance Rebate Program kicked off Tuesday with a slow but steady pace, according to local re-tailers.

The “Black Friday” feel wasn’t as prevalent as it was when the fi rst phase of the program began April 22, said John Capes, store manager of Sears at Oak Hollow Mall.

“This is a totally different animal than phase one,” Capes said. “It’s much more contained and self-con-trolled. A lot of it is on the consum-er this time.”

Unlike the fi rst phase, which of-fered 15 percent in-store rebates on Energy Star-qualifi ed refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers and washing machines, the second phase is of-fering mail-in rebates of varying amounts on qualifying air con-ditioners, heat pumps and water heaters as well. Consumers can ap-ply for a prepaid Visa rebate card on the North Carolina Energy Of-fi ce’s Web site. The state will mail approved applicants a prepaid Visa card with the rebate amount. After 15 days, the card loses its value and the money goes back into the pro-gram.

Because the $1 million set aside for the program is far less than the

$8.6 million in federal government funding that phase one began with, some retailers speculate the money could go fast.

“I think people will be lucky if they can still get the rebates after the next 48 hours,” said Herman Hunter, president of Hunter Heating & Air Conditioning on W. Ward Avenue.

Hunter said he had seen some sales generated by the program, but the sales came from customers that were already planning to buy the ap-pliances in the near future. He sold an air conditioning unit and a fur-nace under the program Tuesday.

“It certainly hasn’t hurt,” he said. “It has sped up decisions on doing things. If a person was going to buy

one of these items anyway but they were going to put it off for a couple of months, it has caused them to buy now instead.”

Sales associates at Lowe’s on N. Main Street said the mail-in rebates may cause a more widespread fl ow of traffi c rather than a rush of traf-fi c on the program’s fi rst day.

“I think the fact that this is a mail-in rebate has slowed some people up a bit,” said John Rothrock, ap-pliance sales specialist at the store. “We had a better day than normal (on Tuesday), but that’s about it.”

The program ends when funds are exhausted.

HIGH POINT – City offi -cials have credited an on-line auction service with bringing about some good fi nancial news during a bleak budget season.

Sales of surplus city property and equipment through the GovDeals.com Web site have netted more than $1 million for city coffers since Septem-ber 2008. That’s a windfall compared to the $175,000 to $200,000 the city used to earn in a typical year auctioning off old police cars, garbage trucks and other items taken out of service, offi cials said.

“We believe the compet-itive Internet bidding pro-cess gets us more for our surplus property than the limited market base we had with traditional on-site auctions,” said Gary Smith, High Point’s fl eet services director. “Selling our surplus online allows us to attract buyers from all over the U.S.”

As of last week, the city had sold 288 items through the site, includ-ing a 1994 Simon Duplex 75-foot ladder truck pre-viously used by the High Point Fire Department to a bidder 269 miles away in South Carolina. Of the top 10 assets sold by the city through the site, the aver-age distance traveled by buyers to High Point was more than 723 miles.

Smith said the surplus property is typically com-prised of things like police vehicles, which are often sold to taxi cab compa-nies, and garbage trucks, which are purchased by waste haulers in the pri-vate sector.

The surplus property funds aren’t expected to have a major impact on a cost-cutting measure ten-tatively approved by the City Council to reduce the fl eet replacement budget by $300,000 for the budget year beginning July 1.

“Given the situation we’re in now, we’re all go-ing to have to tighten our belts to make vehicles and equipment last longer,” Smith said.

The cuts shouldn’t af-fect the city’s ability to replace things like police vehicles, but plans are to scale back other aspects of the fl eet for more repairs short of replacement.

“We put public safety fi rst. You look at refuse, garbage collection, land-fi ll operations – those are things we have to put at the top of the list,” he said. “We pretty much have to prioritize after that, so there are things we’ll just have to extend out for lon-ger periods.”

PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Pen-guins are looking for 250 students to help with an important task and there’s only one major requirement: You must know how to flush a toilet.

Construction is near completion on the NHL team’s new arena, the Consol Energy Center.

But like with any new arena or stadium, of-ficials need to simul-taneously flush all the toilets and urinals to make sure everything is working.

The Penguins are calling the June 10 event the “Student Flush,” a spinoff of their popular ticket-ing program known

as “Student Rush.” Students already in-volved in the ticketing program can enter for a chance to win. Stu-dents must be 18 or older to participate in the flush-apalooza.

In all, there will be 400 flushers, includ-ing some construction officials, on hand that day.

RALEIGH (AP) – Dem-ocratic U.S. Senate can-didate Cal Cunningham sought Tuesday to earn the support of elderly vot-ers – a key demographic for this month’s runoff primary.

Trying to strike a con-trast with rival Elaine Marshall a month after she won a fi rst round of voting, Cunningham said he would work to keep the Social Security retire-ment age at current lev-els. He questioned a com-

ment Marshall made two months ago when she told The Associated Press that lawmakers are going to have to look at whether to raise the retirement age to keep Social Security fi -nances in order.

Marshall pointed out that the life expectancy of the average American is on the rise.

“With an aging elector-ate, some hard choices are going to have to be made on some of these programs,” Marshall said

at the time. Americans can get full Social Secu-rity benefi ts at age 67, which is up from 65 for those born before 1937.

Cunningham said So-cial Security would be fi ne if lawmakers didn’t continue to raid the pro-gram’s funds. The Social Security trust funds have built up a $2.5 trillion surplus over the past 25 years but the govern-ment has borrowed that money to spend on other programs.

It’s an issue Cunning-ham is raising to draw a distinction between him-self and Marshall, who won a fi rst primary vote last month. The two face each other in a June 22 runoff.

“At the heart of it, the difference is that I’ll fi ght against raising the retire-ment age and she won’t,” said Cunningham, a Lex-ington attorney and for-mer state senator, after an event at a Raleigh re-tirement community.

WILMINGTON (AP) – A North Carolina man has been sentenced to life in prison after be-ing convicted of beat-ing an Oak Island res-taurant owner with

bedposts during a rob-bery.

The StarNews of Wilm-ington reported Tuesday a jury found 21-year-old Joshua Caudill guilty of fi rst-degree murder.

Prosecutors say Cau-dill and another man waited for Phillip Cook to come home in July 2007, beating him and stealing $560.

Authorities say the

men and two women who drove them to Cook’s home used the money to buy heroin.

Caudill’s lawyer says they will appeal the ver-dict.

Taliban dismisses peace meeting before startKABUL, Afghanistan – The Taliban on Tuesday

dismissed this week’s national peace conference in Afghanistan even before it had begun, threatening death to the 1,600 delegates in cassette messages dis-tributed by the insurgent leadership.

The three-day meeting, which begins today in a giant tent at Kabul Polytechnic University, will discuss how to reconcile with the fi ghters – even as the U.S. rushes in more troops to ramp up the nearly nine-year war.

German labor minister a favorite for presidentBERLIN – Germany’s labor minister is an early

favorite for the presidential nomination, a day after President Horst Koehler’s surprise resignation, ac-cording to an offi cial quoted by a local news agency Tuesday.

Ursula von der Leyen would become the country’s fi rst female president if nominated by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition government and then ap-proved by lawmakers.

Cuba moving political prisoners closer to homesHAVANA – Cuba has begun transferring some of

the country’s 200 political prisoners to jails closer to their homes, a human rights offi cial and the wife of one inmate said Tuesday, the fi rst sign the govern-ment is making good on a deal with the Roman Catho-lic Church to improve conditions behind bars.

“This could be the starting gun,” said Elizardo San-chez, who is head of the Havana-based Cuban Commis-sion on Human Rights and National Reconciliation.

Tropical Storm Agatha deaths rise to 179GUATEMALA CITY – Rural villagers used hoes and

pick axes to hunt for victims of landslides that have killed at least 179 people in Central America while of-fi cials in Guatemala’s capital tried to cope with a vast sinkhole that swallowed a clothing factory.

Thousands remained homeless and dozens still missing following the season’s fi rst tropical storm.

Boxes in Polish crash reveal pilots warnedWARSAW, Poland – Poland published cockpit

conversations Tuesday of the fi nal minutes before the April plane crash that killed President Lech Kaczyns-ki, revealing that pilots decided to land in heavy fog de-spite warnings from controllers about poor visibility.

A transcript of the last 39 minutes of the fl ight also shows that a Foreign Ministry offi cial, Mariusz Kaza-na, entered the cockpit and made remarks indicating that the president was involved in deciding whether or not to make the diffi cult landing.

Pakistan claims victory in militant strongholdISLAMABAD – The Pakistani army declared victory

over the Taliban in part of the tribal belt near Af-ghanistan, saying Tuesday the operation in the area is fi nished and civilians can expect to return home soon.

The announcement about the Orakzai tribal region may free the army to send some troops to other districts where Islamist insurgents have bases that threaten the Pakistani state and U.S. troops across the border.

BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq’s Supreme Court on Tuesday took the fi rst major step toward re-solving the nation’s elec-tion crisis, ratifying the results and declaring a secular alliance the big-gest winner in the March 7 parliamentary vote.

JERUSALEM (AP) – Is-rael and Egypt signaled a temporary easing of the Gaza Strip blockade Tuesday following harsh international condemna-tion of the deadly Israeli raid on an aid fl otilla en route to the sealed-off Palestinian territory.

Egypt said it was freely opening its border with Gaza for the fi rst time in more than a year to allow in humanitarian aid. Is-rael began expelling some of the nearly 700 activists it rounded up in the raid, and rejected criticism of its heavy-handed tactics. Israel pledged to halt a new attempt by pro-Pal-estinian groups to sail more ships into Gaza.

The raid has ignited unprecedented anger in Turkey and driven the Jewish state’s relations with its most important Muslim ally to their low-est point in six decades.

Meanwhile, American Emily Henochowicz, 21, of Maryland, lost her eye when she was hit by a tear gas canister shot by an Israeli border policeman during a demonstration in Jerusalem against the naval raid, offi cials said.

Our state government currently has the right to take DNA samples from people who have been con-victed of a felony. Now, some state legislators and Attorney General Roy Cooper want the police to

have the right to take DNA samples from any citizen who is arrested, even

though they haven’t been tried or convicted.

What about probable cause and the idea of “innocent until proven guilty’’? Isn’t taking DNA from a person who hasn’t been con-victed of a crime an unreasonable search and seizure? I wonder how many more rights we citizens will give up before we tell the politi-

cians that they have gone too far. Maybe one day our rulers will pass a law that requires all babies born in the state to undergo DNA testing.

Inaugural City Criterium

was a huge success

Congratulations to all the people and organizations who worked to insure the fi rst High Point City Criterium was a success! The event was extremely well-orga-nized.

The Mendenhall Transportation Center was the perfect location for these races. In addition to

providing shelter for bleachers, vendors and band, the center’s digital announcement boards of information and race schedules enhanced the professionalism of the event.

Our thanks go out to the or-ganizers, Jim Martin and Chip Duckett. We also want to thank the city of High Point for its sup-port and, of course, we want to thank the numerous sponsors of the race.

It was fun being in downtown High Point on Friday and Sat-urday seeing friends, watching incredible racing and being a part of this inaugural criterium. We are already looking forward to next year.

YOUR VIEW---

E very year about this time, big-gov-ernment liberals stand up in front of college commencement crowds across

the country and urge the graduates to do the noblest thing possible – become big-government liberals.

That isn’t how they phrase it, of course. Commencement speakers express great reverence for “public service,” as distin-guished from narrow private “greed.” There is usually not the slightest sign of embarrassment at this self-serving cel-ebration of the kinds of careers they have chosen – over and above the careers of oth-ers who merely provide us with the food we eat, the homes we live in, the clothes we wear and the medical care that saves our health and our lives.

What I would like to see is someone with the guts to tell those students: Do you want to be of some use and service to your fellow human beings? Then let your fellow hu-man beings tell you what they want – not with words, but by putting their money where their mouth is.

You want to see more people have better housing? Build it! Become a builder or developer – if you can stand the sneers and disdain of your classmates and professors who regard the very words as repulsive.

Would you like to see more things become more affordable to more people? Then fi gure out more effi cient ways of producing things or more effi cient ways of getting those things from the producers to the consumers at a lower cost.

That’s what a man named Sam Walton did when he created Wal-Mart, a boon to people with modest incomes and a bane to the elite intelligentsia. In the process, Sam Walton became rich. Was that the “greed” that you have heard your classmates and professors denounce so smugly? If so, it has been such “greed” that has repeatedly brought prices down and thereby brought the American standard of living up.

Back at the beginning of the 20th cen-tury, only 15 percent of American families had a fl ush toilet. Not quite one-fourth had running water. Only 3 percent had electric-ity and 1 percent had central heating. Only one American family in a hundred owned an automobile.

By 1970, the vast majority of those Amer-ican families who were living in poverty

had fl ush toilets, running water and electricity. By the end of the 20th century, more Americans were connected to the Internet than were connected to a water pipe or a sewage line at the begin-ning of the century.

More families have air-conditioning today than had electricity then. Today, more than half of all families with incomes below the offi cial poverty line own a car or

truck and have a microwave.This didn’t come about because of the

politicians, bureaucrats, activists or others in “public service” that you are supposed to admire. No nation ever protested its way from poverty to prosperity or got there through rhetoric or bureaucracies.

It was Thomas Edison who brought us electricity, not the Sierra Club. It was the Wright brothers who got us off the ground, not the Federal Aviation Administration. It was Henry Ford who ended the isolation of millions of Americans by making the automobile affordable, not Ralph Nader.

Those who have helped the poor the most have not been those who have gone around loudly expressing “compassion” for the poor, but those who found ways to make industry more productive and distribution more effi cient, so that the poor of today can afford things that the affl uent of yesterday could only dream about.

The wonderful places where you are supposed to go to do “public service” are as sheltered from the brutal test of real-ity as you have been on this campus for the last four – or is it six? – years. In these little cocoons, all that matters is how well you talk the talk. People who go into the marketplace have to walk the walk.

Colleges can teach many valuable skills, but they can also nourish many dangerous illusions. If you really want to be of service to others, then let them decide what is a service by whether they choose to spend their hard-earned money for it.

THOMAS SOWELL, a native of North Carolina, is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His Web site is www.tsowell.com.

‘T here’s many a true word spoken in jest” is a proverb, unattributed – one wonders who fi rst said it.

That thought came to mind April 1 when an arti-cle in The Rhinoceros Times jokingly told its read-ers that the city of High Point secretly had voted to secede from Guilford County and received state approval to become a county of its own. Then, last week, USA Today published a story headlined, “City-county mergers gain traction,” employing a drop-head reading, “Seen as key to fi scal solu-tions,” indicating that folks in locales across the nation don’t see such action as a joke.

The article began with “strains on governmen-tal budgets and demands for more effi ciency are stirring new interest in merging cities with coun-ties.” The story said there are about 40 merged city-governments, with Louisville-Jefferson County, Ky., being the latest in 2003, after three failed attempts to convince voters.

Merger talks with varying degrees of intensity, for examples, are taking place in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County (Pa.), Buffalo and Erie County (N.Y.), Natchez and Adams County (Miss.), Macon and Bibb County (Ga.), Evansville and Vander-burgh County (Ind.), Covington and Alleghany County (Va.) and Peoria and Peoria County (Ill.).

In addition, Charlotte and Mecklenburg Coun-ty, which already provide what the Owensboro (Ky.) Messenger-Inquirer describes as “an ex-cellent model of functional consolidation,” and, “although political divisions continue to prevent completion of a city-county consolidation, the CharMeck model has become a well-known suc-cess in terms of governance and regional econom-ic leadership.”

As you might imagine, there are pros and cons.Radio show host Brian Gongol, who has studied

the process at length, suggests:• Pros: Waste and ineffi ciency can be reduced by

eliminating service duplication; the more oppor-tunities for small-to-medium-sized bids and con-tracts, the healthier the environment is for small businesses supplying those goods and services; core cities benefi t from tax base expansion; and, it’s easier to promote a metropolitan area under a single “brand” name than under names of mul-tiple communities.

• Cons: It’s harder for individuals to infl uence elected leaders in a larger community; the over-whelming tendency for governments to become less effi cient the larger they grow; the larger the unit, the greater prospects for signifi cant corrup-tion; and, the larger the unit, the easier it is to hide or ignore problems in smaller communities within.

Why bring this up? As the 12-county Piedmont Triad Region is brought closer together – as in aerotropolis planning and execution – talk about consolidations and the importance of present-ing ourselves to the rest of the world as a region rather than sovereign cities and counties will in-crease and intensify.

You’ll need to know how all this works. That’s no joke.

Isn’t this unreasonable search and seizure?

THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 2010 www.hpe.com 5ACOMMENTARY

I ’m sitting outside enjoying the sun. Birds are chirping from the trees, and bees are buzzing while

gathering pollen from the white clover fl owers scattered around the yard. Soft breezes sway the branches of the trees. It’s a great day, and I love feeling the heat from the sun on my face.

School’s out, graduation’s over and thank-you notes have been written. The big concert I have been work-ing toward all year has been played, and my graduation party has been thrown. Just a few months ago, these events seemed like they would never arrive. It felt like I would never be released from the walls which held me four years of my life, fi ve days of the week from eight to three (and of-ten longer). It seemed like graduation would never come, but it has.

It’s almost hard to believe I won’t have to worry about dress code again, at least in a high school set-ting. I won’t have to hurry down the hall for my next class, or rush to make another bagged lunch, or hide my water bottle while I’m in the lab. I can even have my phone or iPod out if I want. Now of course, I’ll deal with these types of annoyances in other parts of life, college included. But they always seem unbearable when you’re forced to go through them day in and day out on pain of a demerit and with daily admonitions from the principal.

Sitting here has made me appreci-ate how time passes. I remember making a North Carolina Notebook several years ago. Filling a 2-inch binder with facts about North Caro-lina, pictures of historical places and

“fun” trivia seemed akin to climbing Mount Everest to my fourth-grade self. But I completed the project and was encouraged that I wouldn’t have to do another like it until eighth grade. Relieved that I had a reprieve for what seemed like an eternity, I put the future project out of mymind.

Eighth grade came and went. I don’t think

we ever actually did the project, but what I’m interested in is that eighth grade came at all. What my mind labeled as forever in fourth grade passed by and is now in my rear viewmirror. Similarly, what I thought as a freshman, junior or even a senior would never arrive has come, and is now in the past. My, how time passes when you’re looking back on it.

And now I’m looking ahead toward college, knowing that it too will be over someday. But that won’t keep me from enjoying it; instead, it will encourage me not to waste it. I want to be able to look back on my college years and know that they meant something, and weren’t just space fi llers. And I can’t even imagine my life after college. But perhaps it’s bet-ter to see what life brings me instead of forcing it to fi t into my plans for happiness. For as William Shake-speare wrote, “We know what we are,but not what we may be.”

CHICAGO – Rod Blagojevich has trav-eled the talk show cir-cuit for months, telling anyone who would lis-ten that he’s innocent of federal charges that he conspired to profi t from his power as governor of Illinois to fi ll Presi-dent Barack Obama’s former Senate seat.

Now the impeached former governor and his lawyers are fi nally going to plead their case to a federal court jury Thursday. Blagojevich plans to take the stand.

PORT FOURCHON, La. (AP) – Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that federal authorities have opened criminal and civil investigations into the nation’s worst oil spill, and BP lost billions in market value when shares dropped in the fi rst trading day since the company failed yet again to plug the gusher.

“We will closely exam-ine the actions of those involved in the spill. If we fi nd evidence of ille-gal behavior, we will be extremely forceful in our response,” Holder said in New Orleans.

With the ambitious “top kill” abandoned over the weekend, BP’s hope to stanch the leak lies with two relief wells that won’t be fi nished until at least August. The com-

pany is, however, trying another risky temporary fi x to contain the oil and siphon it to the surface by sawing through the leaking pipe and putting a cap over the spill.

Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander, said Tuesday that BP was making its fi rst major cut with super shears that weigh 46,000 pounds and resemble a giant garden tool. The company will also use a powerful dia-mond-edged cutter that resembles a deli slicer to try to make a clean cut above the blowout pre-venter, then will lower a cap over it with a rubber seal.

Meanwhile, Mississ-ippi Gov. Haley Barbour says oil is hitting the state for the fi rst time.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Al-Qaida announced Monday that its No. 3 of-fi cial, Mustafa al-Yazid, had been killed along with members of his family – perhaps one of the most severe blows to the terror movement since the U.S. campaign against al-Qaida began. A U.S. offi cial said al-Yazid was believed to have died in a U.S. mis-sile strike in Pakistan.

His death would be a major blow to al-Qaida, which in December “lost both its internal and external operations chiefs,” an offi cial said.

HIGH POINT – In his fi rst bid for public offi ce, 25-year-old Geoff Shull hopes youth will prevail as he seeks a seat on High Point City Council.

Shull, a native of High Point, will run for the Ward 5 seat held by vet-eran Councilman Chris Whitley, who plans to seek re-election. The fi ling pe-riod for this year’s munic-ipal election begins next month.

Shull said Tuesday the main reason he’s seeking a council seat is to provide a coherent direction for the city’s future.

“One thing I see is that the city is not moving forward. We have mixed visions – we’re trying to pursue an Uptowne, but we don’t really have a down-town,” said Shull, who was home-schooled before enrolling in college and graduating from the Uni-versity of North Carolina at Greensboro with a bach-

elor’s degree in business administration.

The city needs to form al-liances with major players in the community, such as High Point University, to pinpoint opportunities for growth and develop a comprehensive outlook for what High Point can become, Shull said.

Shull, who’s self-employed as a Web site marketing spe-cialist, said he’s not slight-

ing Whitley by running for the Ward 5 seat.

“I’ve talked to Chris nu-merous times. I just think the council could use

some diversity, a younger perspective,” said Shull, who’s been attending council meetings regular-ly for a year.

Whitley, who has spent 17 years on the City Council, said he plans to formally announce his re-election plans soon. Whitley intends to campaign on his service and attention to issues, such as the city budget.

“I’ve expected him (Shull) to run for about the past two months,” Whitley said. “My goal is to try to get re-elected and look after the interests of the city. I want to bring my experience back to the city.”


First-time candidate to challenge Whitley for council seat

FILING PERIOD–Filing for this year’s High Point municipal elec-tions takes place July 2-16. The races for mayor and eight seats on City Council are nonpartisan, meaning the party affi li-ation of the candidates won’t appear on the ballot. All races will be decided in the Nov. 2 general election. There are no High Point mu-nicipal primaries.

Experience vs. youth

BY DIANNA BELLENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ASHEBORO – Aviation enthusi-asts will have a chance to get up-close and personal with various kinds of aircraft and their pilots this weekend.

The N.C. Aviation Museum will have its Fourth Annual Fly-In on Saturday, with helicopters and planes fi lling the airspace over Asheboro from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The annual event is a fund-raiser for the museum. Museum leaders say they hope this year’s fundraiser will help with up-grading a hanger at the facility.

“We hope to raise enough money to be able to pay for a wall to be built across 20 per-cent of Hangar 1, making it a two-story room, and adding heat and air-conditioning,” said Rick Bondurant, general manager and curator of the museum.

Bondurant said he hopes to be able to display environ-

mentally sensitive items there.Along with the renovations,

the museum hopes to be able to buy some new display cases, which are in great need. Bon-durant estimates there are 300 items in storage because of the lack of display space. Also on the list are easels and items for the Bob Moon Museum Store, which will feature a 10 percent discount on the day of the fl y-in.

The event will host familiar vendors from the Triad area. Mitch’s Lexington Style Bar-beque, Farmer Civitan Club and Gilbert’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream will offer a variety of food for attendees.

Face painting, magic shows by Bondurant, live music by local musician Bernie Hall, aviation art print exhibits and model dis-plays by the Central Carolina Re-mote Control Modelers Club and Kit Kringle will be available, as well as race cars provided by the National Auto Sport Association.

Children ages 8-17 are offered free plane rides by the Experi-mental Aircraft Association, and helicopter rides are provided by Heli-Xpress of Winston-Salem. For all other riders, the cost for the helicopter fl ight is $30.

Attendees also can buy a fl ight from Bob Coyle, chairman of the volunteer board of directors, or Curtis Williams, member of the N.C. Aviation Museum. These rides feature aerial views of Ran-dolph County. Prices vary for these fl ights.

Those interested in volunteer-ing are asked to come to the vol-unteer meeting 6 p.m. Thursday in the Fixed Base Operator build-ing of the Asheboro Regional Airport. Anyone can volunteer. The only requirement is that vol-unteers are at least 17 years old.

Attendance for the fl y-in is free. Parking is $10 per car and $20 per van or bus.

HIGH POINT – New furniture orders continued to rise for the fi fth consecutive month in March, according to the recent Furniture Insights monthly newsletter.

Orders were 9 percent higher in March than the same time last year and up 2 percent from February, according to the newsletter published by High Point-based Smith Leonard Accountants and Consultants. About 61 percent of furniture companies surveyed reported an increase in year-over-year sales in March.

New orders also are 9 percent ahead of the fi rst quarter of 2009 thus far, the report showed.

“The March results of our survey produced more positive news for the industry,” said Ken Smith, who writes the report each month. “Admittedly, we are still comparing to weak results in the fi rst quarter of 2009, but it does appear that we are coming out of the slump.”

The increase in March trumps the inclement weather that hit the South and the Northeast that month – a factor Smith said could have hindered sales. High Point’s invitation-only Pre-Market also was held in March.

Economic factors such as jumps in existing home sales, new home sales and retail sales bode well for overall economic conditions affecting the furniture industry, Smith said. While there was a slight drop in the national unemployment rate in April, the number of factory and ware-house employees in the industry continued its decline to 3 percent below last year.

Smith said in the report he hopes to see further sales increas-es and positive effects from the High Point Market in the April report.

“It will be interesting to see what the April and May results are as we should feel the impact of what was believed to be the best High Point Market in the last several,” he said.

“There was some concern that the good feeling at market was a result of retailers restocking and refreshing their showroom fl oors. Yet we have heard from some re-tailers that business at their level is indeed picking up.”

USAF, 73, of Metai-rie, La., died around 9am Monday, May 17th from injuries sustained in a car accident on his way to his offi ce to do what he loved most, which was practic-ing medicine. He was born September 3, 1936 in High Point, North Carolina to the late Alga and Mary Stevenson. Dara Steven-son, M.D., received his AA degree from Mars Hill Junior College 1954-56 and his B.S. from University of South Carolina with a major in Chemistry and Biology combined 1956-58. He received his M.D. De-gree from the Medical Uni-versity of South Carolina 1958-62. His internship was at Columbia Hospital, Co-lumbia, S.C. 1962-63 and his residency of Ophthalmolo-gy at the Eye Ear Nose and Throat Hospital (Tulane Services New Orleans, La) 1966-69. Dara was a mem-ber of the American Acad-emy of Ophthalmology and a past President of Light-house for the Blind in New Orleans. Among his many achievements while in the USAF, as a fl ight surgeon, he participated in the As-tronaut program from 1963-66. He was awarded Flight surgeon of the year 1966. He was Chief Eye service, USAF hospital Tachikawa, AFB, Japan 1969-72. And, Chief Eye Service USAF Medical Center, Keesler AFB, Biloxi, MS, 1972-81.

NEW YORK (AP) — A son of former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel was found dead in an apart-ment after a day of bar hopping with a man he’d just met, a law en-forcement offi cial said Tuesday.

A drunken Andrew Koppel, 40, had been placed in a back bed-room of the Manhattan apartment to sleep it off and apparently had been dead at least four hours before anyone realized, said Belinda Caban, who lives in the apartment.

He was declared dead around 1:30 a.m. Mon-day, New York Police Department Detective John Sweeney said. The cause of his death hadn’t been determined, but there was no evidence indicating a crime, po-lice said.

Ted Koppel is the for-mer longtime anchor of the ABC News show “Nightline.” Andrew Koppel was one of his four children. A tele-phone call to the el-der Koppel’s publicist wasn’t immediately re-turned Tuesday.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an acquain-tance of Ted Koppel, on Tuesday offered his condolences to the Kop-pel family.

“It’s very sad,” Bloom-berg said. “I know Ted casually, and I don’t know how anybody deals with losing a child.”

MONTREAL (AP) – Chris Haney, a co-creator of the popular Trivial Pursuit board game, died Monday at the age of 59.

Scott Abbott, who cre-ated Trivial Pursuit with Haney, said Haney died in a Toronto hospital af-ter a long illness.

Haney worked for The Canadian Press and the Montreal Gazette news-paper as a photo editor before going into the board game business.

He teamed up with Ab-bott, a Canadian Press sports reporter, in 1979 to invent Trivial Pursuit.

“He was one of the most knowledgeable, widely read people I’ve encoun-tered,” Abbott said of his friend, who was a vora-cious newspaper reader.

RALEIGH (AP) – House Democrats are sticking with their North Carolina state government budget for now even though the plan contains nearly a half-billion dollars in federal Medicaid dol-lars that may never ar-rive.

Wife conceals late husband’s affair

D ear Abby: My friends and neigh-bors thought I had

the best husband, and our children thought he was the greatest dad. But on the day he died, I found out he had been having sex with another woman.

I went to visit him in the hospital and over-heard the whole thing as he was talking to her. Abby, she was a prosti-tute. I knew money had been disappearing, but I never imagined anything like this.

Should I go on pretend-ing to my adult children, or tell them the truth? They thought he was the best father in the whole world. Even though this happened more than fi ve years ago, I continue to have nightmares over it. – Still Hurting in Boston

Dear Hurting: I see nothing positive to be gained by shattering your children’s image of their father at this point. I’m sorry he failed you as a husband. However, for you to spend more of your life nursing hurt and dis-appointment is a waste of your precious time. Talk to your religious adviser or confi de in a therapist. But do not bring this up with your children.

Dear Abby: I am a

76-year-old father of three sons and grandfather of fi ve. The other night, I was dining out with my brother, one of my sons, his 31-year-old wife, and their two children, ages 5 and 2.

The server was standing next to me and the 5-year-old, poised to take our orders. My daughter-in-law was distracted by the 2-year-old, so

I placed my order so the server would not be kept standing there.

My son chastised me for not waiting until his wife placed her order fi rst. Embarrassed, I offered an apology. Was I wrong not to wait for my daughter-in-law to place her order? What would have been the proper thing to do? – Embarrassed in Gar-fi eld, N.J.

Dear Embarrassed: Frankly, the “proper thing to do” in this case would have been for your son to save his criticism until he could talk to you privately, rather than embarrassing you in a public place. Ordinarily, the rule of thumb “ladies fi rst” would apply when giving the dinner order. However, because your daughter-in-law was dis-tracted, speaking up and telling the server what you wanted makes sense to me.

Dear Abby: The com-

pany where I work posted an ad online and at our state unemployment job board for a position that

needed to be fi lled. The ad detailed simple but specifi c instructions that included asking appli-cants to write a cover letter to address certain questions. It also said – in large letters: “You Must Follow These Direc-tions Or You Will Not Be Considered For Employ-ment.”

Of the 133 resumes we received, 76 did not contain the information that was requested. These applications were moved to an “Incomplete” fi le and not considered for hire. What’s sad is that judging by their resumes alone, several of these ap-plicants had the qualifi ca-tions we were looking for.

With unemployment be-ing what it is, I was sur-prised that the majority of the applicants did not comply with the simple instructions. Please advise your unemployed readers that a job is out there for them, but they must follow instructions. – Trying To Be Helpful, Tumwater, Wash.

Dear Trying To Be Helpful: Consider it done. Now I’ll offer an-other suggestion: Always proofread what you have written to ensure there are no spelling or trans-position errors. DEAR ABBY is written by Abi-gail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.Dear-Abby.com or P.O.

W I N S T O N - S A L E M – Novant Health Inc. said Tuesday it has fi led a law-suit against Aetna Inc.,

accusing the insurer of engaging in false adver-tising about its contract negotiations.

The lawsuit, fi led Thurs-day, is the latest shot by the companies, which be-

gan a heated dispute over reimbursement fees last month.

Aetna said on May 11 it would end its contract with Novant in the Triad and Charlotte markets on

July 1 if the groups don’t reach an agreement on al-lowable charges for medi-cal care.

If that happens, Aetna customers would be con-sidered as out-of-network

at Forsyth Medical Center and Medical Park Hospi-tal, which would require them to pay more for ser-vices. Aetna has sent let-ters about the dispute to doctors in both markets,

and is meeting with largeemployers.

The groups are operat-ing under an agreementthat began in May 2004. Itwas amended and extend-ed in 2008.

Novant Health fi les lawsuit against Aetna

RALEIGH (AP) – A Sen-ate panel recommended Tuesday that North Car-olina borrow $451 mil-lion for construction and equipment purchases in state government and on college campuses, with boosters arguing it’s right to incur debt despite the sour economy because it’s an inexpensive time to build.

A majority on the Sen-ate Finance Committee agreed with university leaders urging approval of the debt package, more than half of which would go to complete engineer-ing buildings at North Carolina State University in Raleigh and North Caro-lina A&T State University in Greensboro.

The chancellors of both schools told the panel the building would prepare thousands of students in growing fi elds, including nanonengineering and bioengineering at A&T. Most of the students would remain in the state, where they are more likely to cre-ate companies that would generate high-tech jobs for North Carolina citizens, new N.C. State University Chancellor Randy Wood-son said.

“This certainly is the most diffi cult of times but we understand that in-vesting in this future will continue to place North

Carolina at the lead of the pack,” Woodson told law-makers before all Demo-crats joined a few Repub-licans in voting for the package. The bill could come to the full Senate as early as Wednesday.

The proposed $450.9 million package, which

wouldn’t require state-wide voter approval like traditional bonds, would set aside $161.5 million for N.C. State’s fourth en-gineering building on the Centennial Campus in west Raleigh and $104.4 million to A&T to replace the current McNair Build-ing on campus. There would also be $130 million for repairs and renova-tions to state and univer-sity buildings and $55 mil-lion to buy equipment for

community colleges and University of North Caro-lina system campuses.

Most GOP senators on the committee voted against the package, say-ing it makes no sense to borrow when the state could face a $3 billion shortfall next year.

The additional debt pay-ment would send the state over a self-imposed debt limit generated by a com-mittee led by State Trea-surer Janet Cowell. For years, Democrats have identifi ed this target as one they didn’t want to surpass.

The package would add another $39 million to the more than $600 million in debt service the state al-ready must pay annually on more than $6 billion in debt.

“Would you do that in your personal life if you found out they were going to cut you back one day a week,” said Senate Minor-ity Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. “Are you go-ing to go out and buy a new car? I don’t care how much you need and want. You’re not going to be doing that. And we shouldn’t be doing that for the state.”

The additional debt would raise the state’s annual debt service to an amount equal to 4.25 per-cent of state revenues used for operating expenses.

Senate panel recommends borrowing $451 million

Most GOP senators voted against the package, saying it makes no sense to borrow when the state could face a $3 billion budget gap next year.

B randon Robert Hall was an un-likely candidate to

be a leader.Shy and quiet, he was

not one to stand up, speak up or move others to action. Then, in third grade, after persistent prodding, Hall agreed to participate in his classroom’s stage play.

“I thought it would be scary, but it ended

up being a lot of fun. That is when I began to come out of my shyness,” Hall said.

The next turn-ing point occurred when Hall played vol-leyball,

soccer and basketball at East Forsyth Middle School. He was named Most Valuable Player two years in a row because, he was told, of the way he treated other people.

Hall did as the coaches asked, treated his op-ponents with respect and played with all his heart. This led to his being named team captain and a chance to talk to of-fi cials during the game.

“I was still quiet and very respectful, but I was learning to be asser-tive,” Hall said.

Then, in eighth grade, Hall was invited to represent EFMS as a Kernersville Cares for Kids student leader. Hall would be attending KCK board meetings with fi ve principals, the superin-tendent, the police chief and other offi cials.

“When I had to stand up and make a pre-sentation, I was really nervous. But when the adults came up and told me what a good job I did, it made me want to do more,” Hall said.

And do more he did. The following year, as a KCK high school student at East Forsyth, Hall volunteered at the KCK booth at Spring Folly and talked to an average of 100 people per hour.

By 10th grade, Hall made the choice to quit sports to focus more on KCK, which supports voluntary drug test-ing and aims to create positive connections between students and their adult community.

“In 2010, the concept of leadership really gelled for me. I began speaking at civic clubs and look-ing for ways to get our message out,” Hall said.

In the spring, Hall was unanimously elected by his peers to be the presi-dent of KCK’s 20 student leaders, and on April 27 he gave a speech to more than 400 people at the annual KCK Lunch and Listen.

“KCK has changed my life,” Hall said. “It’s helped me stay drug free, it’s taught me how to lead, and it’s helped me make positive connec-tions with my commu-nity.”

Nord provides a lifesaver for those with rare diseasesD ear Dr. Donohue:

A dear friend has a very rare dis-

ease, Cronkhite-Canada syndrome. It started last summer with her hair falling out, then her fi nger and toenails were affected. Can you tell me more about it? – M.Y.

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is named after the two doctors who fi rst described it in 1955. It’s a most uncommon illness, featuring polyps in the digestive tract that lead to diarrhea, abdominal pain, malabsorption and malnutrition. In addition to the digestive tract, hair loss and nail changes, including loss of the nails, often are encountered. Treatment involves restoring nutritional balance through intrave-nous feeding. A number of drugs, including the cor-tisone drug prednisone, have been used to control this illness. Because of its rarity, its cause hasn’t been found, and the one best treatment remains to be determined.

I used your letter for another reason. That reason is to introduce the public to NORD, the National Organiza-tion for Rare Disorders. More than 6,000 serious illnesses are considered rare, and they affect more than 25 million Ameri-cans. People with rare disorders shoulder two burdens: One is coping with the ravages of the disease; the second is con-tending with the public’s lack of awareness of the

illness and often the ig-norance of the medical profession in dealing with it.

NORD was found-ed to assist this enor-mous but neglected popula-

tion of ill people. The organization doesn’t diagnose illnesses, but it directs people with rare disorders to facilities and associations they don’t know exist. People can contact NORD at 800-999-NORD or online at www.rarediseases.org.

NORD is a federation of dedicated people we can be truly proud of.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Is there any way to tell if your carotid artery is blocked? Lately, the left side of my head feels somewhat numb, and the left side of my throat is dry. – T.S.

The right and left ca-rotid arteries, located in the neck, supply blood to the right and left sides of the brain. A blockage of either brings on a stroke. Carotid artery blockages ought to be detected be-fore a stroke occurs and part of the brain is lost.

Some symptoms sug-gest carotid artery block-age: peculiar sensations on the face or body, weak-ness, dizzy spells, being at a loss for words and visual disturbances. Usu-ally those things last only

for a short time. They serve as warning signs. Ultrasound exams of the arteries are one way of determining blockages.

The more or less per-manent numbness you feel and the dryness of thethroat aren’t stroke symp-toms. Only a doctor’s hands-on exam will dis-close what’s going on.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My husband used to weigh 165 pounds. He now weighs 100 pounds. He is 84. He has had triplebypass surgery, aortic aneurysm surgery and grafts to his leg arteries. He eats well. He takes Boost. What can I give him so that he’ll gain weight? Doctors say to feed him more. That’s impossible. – W.D.

If your husband is eating well but losing weight, something must be interfering with his food absorption. I’d get the opinion of a gastroen-terologist for this.

If nothing is found, then the only way to put on weight is through an increase of calories. Calorie-dense snacks might turn the corner for him. A handful of nuts, about an ounce, has 185 calories. Two tablespoons of peanut butter has 190 calories. A cup of ice cream at bedtime adds 300calories. Maybe he would tolerate another can of Boost. That would give him an extra 240 calories.

Your husband has had more than his share of trouble.

The drums of Bountourabi

Robin Leftwich fi ndsWest African drum musicto be good for the soul

BY JIMMY TOMLINENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H IGH POINT – For more than a quarter-century, Robin Leftwich has been learn-

ing the secrets of drumming, but she’s not much for keeping a secret.

“My belief is that this isn’t a secret to be kept, but a tradition to be shared,” she says.

Leftwich, of High Point, shares the tradition not only by perform-ing, but also by teaching drum classes, such as the series of four classes that will begin tonight at the YWCA of High Point. Those classes will focus on West African drumming, which has become Leftwich’s specialty during the past 10 years or so.

Specifi cally, Leftwich will be teaching the art of the West Afri-can hand drum, which is called a djembe (pronounced “JIM-bay”). Students will learn traditional West African rhythms and basic drumming techniques, as well as the cultural and historical back-ground of the music.

“I’ve traveled to Guinea, West Africa, several times to study the culture and the music and the history, and I’ve brought it back with me to use in my teaching,” Leftwich says. “I try to be as ac-curate as possible – not just about the music, but also about the culture and the history and the people, and the importance of the music to the people.”

Leftwich is a personal stu-dent of Fode Moussa Camara – an internationally renowned

drummer from Guinea – and has studied with Gbassikolo, an acclaimed performance group there. She even has an indigenous name when she travels to Guinea – Bountourabi, which means “angel” in Sousou, the language spoken in Guinea.

“They don’t even call me Robin there – they just call me Boun-tourabi,” she says.

In addition to playing and teaching, Leftwich has also estab-lished herself as an accomplished drum-builder, something else she learned during her trips to Guinea.

According to Leftwich, drum-ming offers a number of docu-mented health benefi ts, the most notable being the reduction of stress, which leads to better health in general. Studies have even indicated that group drum-ming signifi cantly increases the disease-fi ghting activity of circulating white blood cells that destroy cancer cells.

Playing the djembe also helps

INTERESTED?----A West African drum class, taught by Robin “Bountoura-bi” Leftwich, will be offered Wednesdays, tonight through June 23, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the YWCA of High Point, 112 Gatewood Ave.

The cost is $50 for all four ses-sions or $15 per drop-in class.

For more information, call the YWCA at 882-4126.

SPECIAL | HPE

Robin Leftwich will teach a class in West African drum music on Wednesdays, beginning tonight, at the YWCA.

to increase your sense of rhythm, your right-left brain and eye-hand coordination, and gives you a creative outlet for expressing yourself, Leftwich adds.

Group drumming also tends to develop a sense of community, she says.

“This drumming doesn’t exist as performer and audience – this music is for a community that ex-ists together,” Leftwich explains. “Whenever it’s being taught or played, you blur the lines between audience and performer and fi nd that you can create a community.”

All skill levels are welcome for

Leftwich’s classes at the YWCA, and it’s not necessary to sign up for all four classes.

“If you drop in for one class, that’s fi ne,” she says. “But if you come all four weeks, each class will build into something a little more developed the next time.”

Leftwich encourages newcom-ers to give her class a try and says they won’t be disappointed.

“I joke that it fi res off the happy endorphins,” she says. “It makes you feel good, and you’re sharing the experience with other people.”

Yesterday’s Puzzle SolvedWednesday, June 2, 2010CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY:

Wayne Brady, 38; Dana Carvey, 55; Marvin Hamlisch, 66; Stacy Keach, 69

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Put your heart and soul into your work and getting ahead this year and you will succeed. Don’t let emotional matters cloud your vision or stand in the way of your progress. Use your charm and past experience to get what you want. Confi dence, coupled with know-how, will lead to victory. Your numbers are 11, 14, 18, 28, 30, 42, 45

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Complete what you’ve promised to fi nish. You will gain respect and be given more responsibilities. A personal matter may throw you off- course momentarily but you will be able to overcome such occur-rences. ★★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You decide whether or not you want to donate your time or money. Doing something because you feel guilty or are bullied into it will end in regret. A romantic encounter is highlighted. ★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Discuss your plans in a colorful and expressive way and you will get an offer for help. Be sure to do your homework because questions will be asked if you have left any detail undone. ★★★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will be tempted to make purchases you don’t need or be enticed by a fast-talking sales person. Spend time volunteering for a cause you believe in or that will help someone who needs your strength, courage and moral support. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be honest about who you are, what you can offer and what you want in return. You will get ahead if you work hard and do your best. Added responsibilities and greater rewards will be handed to you. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Know what you are up against before you agree to take on a job that is likely to require too much of your time. You have other responsibilities to think about, so unless you will be handsomely rewarded, it’s best to take a pass. Fulfi ll domestic obliga-tions fi rst. ★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get together with someone who shares your views and is just as innovative and imaginative as you. Prepara-tion will be the key to your success. An emo-tional encounter may be costly but the lesson you learn will prepare you for future involve-ments. ★★★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone you are close to is likely to keep an emotional mat-ter a secret, leaving you in a compromising po-sition. If something doesn’t make sense, take a pass. A love relationship will be enhanced if you share your thoughts, feelings and inten-tions. ★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be enticed by the unusual and gravitate toward adventure and new destinations. You will enjoy interacting with people from different backgrounds, sharing your thoughts and opin-ions. You will be motivated to try something new. ★★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let your emotions rule your credit cards. Just because someone you love wants something doesn’t mean you should run out and buy it. Love is highlighted but all you need to do is to spend time with the person you care for. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your time, money and effort into your home. You need a change that will help you discover your true potential. Take a correspondence course or research information about a new skill -- all will be conducive to improving your life. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will have a hidden agenda or you will be dealing with someone with ulterior motives. Whichever the case, be careful not to jump into something un-der false pretenses. Love is on the rise but don’t lower your standards or get involved in things you don’t agree with. ★★★

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

When I watched today’s deal, South was Joe Over-berry, who plays every contract for the maxi-mum – and many for the minimum. He thinks it’s nobler to go down in pur-suit of an overtrick than to make his bid.

Joe and his partner had an easy auction to 3NT, and the play should have been no less easy. But when West led a spade, Joe saw a chance for two over-tricks: He played dummy’s jack, expecting it to win.

When East’s queen covered, Joe fl inched but stayed true to form by taking the ace, leading a diamond to dummy and returning a club to his jack. West produced the queen and exited with a spade to dummy, and Joe went down two.

NINE TRICKSJoe couldn’t salvage his

contract by refusing the fi rst trick. Then the de-fense could get a spade, a club and three hearts. To assure nine tricks, Joe must win the fi rst spade with the king, preserving an entry to his hand.

Joe loses the club fi -nesse next, but unless West fi nds a heart shift, Joe will make an over-trick after all.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S 9 7 6 4 2 H

A 8 3 D J 9 C Q 6 3. Your partner opens one dia-mond, you respond one spade, he bids two clubs and you return to two diamonds. Partner then bids two spades. What do you say?

ANSWER: If partner weren’t interested in game, he’d have passed two diamonds; if he held A K 3, 2, A 10 7 6 5, J 8 4 2, he’d have raised spades directly. Since he has ex-tra strength, and you have three useful honors and a fi ve-card suit, bid three spades to try for game.

WHO’S NEWS---

High Point University head basketball coach Scott Cherry has hired Brian Reese, one of his team-mates from the 1993 University of North Carolina national cham-pionship squad, as an assistant coach.

“I know on the basketball side of it, he can really help our players develop,” Cherry said. “With his professional expe-rience, he will be able to teach our players the things they need to do to be successful at the next level.

“He’ll be very involved in re-cruiting and his ties to the New York City area and up and down the East Coast will bring us an added dimension,” Cherry added.

After graduat-ing from North Carolina, Reese spent the summer and preseason with the Milwau-kee Bucks. He played profession-ally in Austria, Belgium, the Do-minican Republic, England, Finland, Iceland, France, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Puerto Rico. Reese joins the Panthers after one season as an assistant coach at Wingate, where he helped the Bulldogs improve to 14-14. Prior to that, Reese spent one season as the head coach of varsity boys basketball at South Iredell High School and two seasons as JV head coach and varsity assistant at Porter Ridge High School in Indian Trail.

E xpect plenty of excitement when the NBA Finals tip off on Thursday night.

Just don’t expect the series to go the full seven games.

A look back at the past 20 NBA Finals reveals that only two went to the limit – the Spurs downed the Pistons 4-3 in 2005 and the Rockets outlasted the Knicks 4-3 in 1994.

Granted, there have been some memorable six-game Finals. Five of the Jordan-led Bulls six NBA crowns came in six-game champion-

ship series and the Celtics topped the Lakers in six a couple years back.

Since 1989, nine NBA Finals were decided in six games.

The rest of the breakdown fi nds fi ve series that lasted fi ve games plus four series that resulted in four-game sweeps.

For the record, 16 NBA Finals have gone seven games in league history.

That’s a pretty low number considering the NBA Finals have been contested 62

times entering the 2009-10 season.And while we’re dusting off the NBA re-

cord book, the Philadelphia Warriors defeat-ed the Chicago Stags in fi ve games to capture the fi rst league championship in 1947.

Hope you enjoyed this brief stroll down NBA memory lane. Maybe this year’s NBA Finals will prove worthy of the record books.

HIT AND RUN---

BY GREER SMITHENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Format for the men’s basketball tour-nament is expected to be discussed but no formal proposal to change it is on the agenda of the Big South Conference meet-ings set for today and Thursday at High Point University.

League assistant com-missioner for public rela-tions Mark Simpson said the docket includes hear-ing reports on this past season’s men’s and wom-en’s tournaments and that discussion on the men’s tournament format is to be part of that.

Under the current for-mat, fi rst-round games are played at the four best seeds. The semifi nals are at the No. 1 seed, with the fi nals at the highest remaining seed. The top eight fi nishers among nine eligible teams qual-ify for the tourney. Pres-byterian is not eligible until 2011-12 because it is making a transition from Division II.

“We were asked to get feedback on possible neu-tral sites,” Simpson said. “The administrators will go over the data that has been collected and will de-termine which format is the best.”

Simpson said no vote is

needed to keep the same format if there is no pro-posal to change it. If there is a decision to change to a neutral site, he said the league would have to move quickly to get bids from interested venues.

High Point University coach Scott Cherry said last month that a neutral site would eliminate trav-el for some teams, but that he understands the need to have the fi nals at the best remaining seed.

“Because the fi nals are on ESPN, the league needs to project the best image that it can,” Cherry said. “And if you play all the games at say, Charleston, and the two teams in the

fi nals are Liberty and Rad-ford, then you are likely not to have a good crowd, and that doesn’t look good for the league.”

Under the current for-mat, a lower seeded team could play at three differ-ent locations HPU, which was seeded fi fth, was elim-inated in a fi rst-round game at UNC Asheville this past season.

“It didn’t have the atmo-sphere that you get at a neutral site,” Cherry said. “It was like another road game for us. It didn’t have a tournament feel.”

The rest of the agenda was described by Simp-son as housekeeping is-sues. The meetings will

conclude with a banquet Thursday night at High Point Country Club’s Emerywood facility for the announcement of the league’s award winners and induction of six peo-ple into the Big South hall of fame.

The inductees are Jim Gardas of Charleston Southern (golf), Catherine Conder of Coastal Caroli-na (cross country/track), Guy Norcott of Coastal Carolina (soccer), Dr. Ron Bradley of Radford (bas-ketball), Josh Pittman of UNC Asheville (basket-ball) and Kevin Pendley of Winthrop (golf).


Panthers host Big South meetings

N ate Roberts grew up in northern Illi-nois, closer to Wisconsin than Wrigley Field, but still close enough to the

Windy City to latch on to Chicago’s lovable losers.

He’s a little more open-mind-ed nowadays when it comes to major league teams. As for his friends...

“I don’t care who drafts me, but if the Cubs draft me it would make all my friends happy,” Roberts said. “I was telling one of my buddies the Cardinals were talking to me, too. He said, ‘If you go to the Cardinals, I’ll kill you.’

“We don’t like the Cardinals much, but I would love to

play for the Cardinals,” Roberts added with a smile. “I’m more of a ‘baseball’ fan these days, so if I get an opportunity I don’t care where it is.”

Roberts almost certainly will get a chance to play professional baseball after the num-bers he put up at High Point University. The junior outfi elder capped a remarkable season last week with Big South Conference Player of the Year honors, becoming only the second Panther ever – after Mark Shorey in 2006 – to capture the league’s top honor.

While Coastal Carolina went 25-0 in confer-ence games with its galaxy of stars, no one put on a better all-around show than Roberts. The 6-foot, 201-pound left-handed batter led the Panthers with a .416 batting average and set HPU single-season records for runs scored (88), on-base percentage (.573) and hit-by-pitch (25).

Roberts clubbed three home runs in a game against Towson on March 5, part of a cam-paign that included 19 long balls and 69 RBIs. And for all those power numbers, Roberts also blazed a trail on the base paths with 36 steals in 39 attempts.

“When we saw him swing the bat in the fall we felt he had a chance be a very special player,” Panthers head coach Craig Cozart said. “We knew he was putting together a season you don’t see very often. Fortunately we had very good players around him, so he got pitches to hit.”

Roberts’ success sparked High Point to a 31-29 record, its best ever in the NCAA Divi-sion I ranks. And while hopes are high in the program for the coming years, the Panthers could be moving on without Roberts.

The Spring Grove, Ill., native began his col-lege career in the Big Ten at Northwestern, where he started 46 games and batted .311. He left the Wildcats, though, and spent a year at Parkland College in Champaign, Ill.

All he did there was lead the Cobras to the National Junior College Athletic Association

Division II championship, setting the NJ-CAA World Series record with a .710 batting average.

Clearly, Roberts had options for his junior season. He mulled offers from schools such as Eastern Illinois, Eastern Kentucky and Eastern Michigan before getting serious about heading east – all the way to North Carolina.

HPU assistant Rich Wallace was on a trip to check out one player and ended up seeing Roberts starring for Parkland instead. He sent back some fi lm, assistant Bryan Peters arranged a visit and Roberts got his fi rst taste of High Point.

“It was kind of random. I had never heard of High Point,” Roberts said. “It was pretty amazing here. I didn’t expect anything like this. It’s beautiful. After talking to the coaches, taking the campus tour, this was where I wanted to come. It was a pretty easy decision.”

The choice to keep playing college baseball last summer was made easier when Roberts’ name fell all the way to the Tampa Bay Rays in the 48th round of major league baseball’s fi rst-year player draft.

This decision could prove more diffi cult. Roberts was slated to play with the Luray Wranglers in Virginia’s Valley League this

summer, but returned home Monday to work out and await the draft. Picks will be made June 7-9.

“There’s a good chance I’ll get drafted. I’ve talked to a lot of teams, but you never know,” Roberts offered. “They could tell you one thing and another thing happens. My experi-ence last year getting drafted, it taught me to just keep an open mind.”

Besides, returning to HPU isn’t all that unattractive a fallback.

“I have no problem going back to High Point,” Roberts said. “Give me something fair enough, or I would love to come back here for my senior year.”

For his part, Cozart obviously would love to pencil Roberts into the middle of the 2011 lineup, but knows “you can’t worry about something you can’t control.” And that’s the major league draft in a nutshell.

“Draft-wise, we hope he gets drafted in a high round, gets paid well, and it’s a no-brainer for him to start his pro career,” Co-zart said. “At the other end of the spectrum, if not, I hope it’s an easy decision for him to come back to school.”

Stay or leave, Roberts already left quite a mark in the Panther record books.

PARIS (AP) — There will be a Grand Slam semifi nal without Roger Federer for the fi rst time in six years.

French Open upset spe-cialist Robin Soderling struck again Tuesday, rallying past defending champion Federer in a rainy quarterfi nal, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4. That ended Federer’s record streak of reaching the semifi nals in 23 consecutive major events.

The shocker was the sec-ond pulled off by Soder-ling in as many years at Roland Garros. He ended the reign of four-time champion Rafael Nadal in the fourth round a year ago, clearing the path for Federer to win his fi rst French Open title and complete a career Grand Slam.

Federer beat Soderling in last year’s fi nal. Before Tuesday, Federer was 12-0 against the big-swing-ing Swede, winning 28 of their 30 sets.

But Soderling’s recent improvement was evident as he controlled rallies from the baseline with his thunderous strokes. Federer found himself on the defensive and unable to move forward.

“I’m disappointed to a

certain degree,” Federer said. “I didn’t think I played a bad match. He came up with some great tennis. It’s much easier to digest this way.”

Seeded fi fth, Soderling saved a set point in the third when he won a fran-tic rally, then won the set to take the lead for good shortly after a rain delay

of 75 minutes.“It cannot be much bet-

ter,” Soderling told the crowd after his latest cen-ter-court stunner. “It’s great to play on this court. It’s for sure my favorite Grand Slam.”

Soderling’s the only player other than Nadal to beat Federer at Roland Garros since 2004.

Federer’s semifi nal streak ends

MOORESVILLE (AP)— Red Bull Racing onTuesday swapped thecrew chiefs and keyteam members for driv-ers Scott Speed andCasey Mears, a movedesigned to try new per-sonnel pairings duringBrian Vickers’ absence.

Vickers will missthe rest of the seasonwhile undergoing treat-ment on blood clots inhis lungs and legs, andMears has been fi llingin for him in the No. 83Toyota.

The swap comes twodays after Mears andSpeed fi nished 29th and30th in the Coca-Cola600, and it reunitesMears with crew chiefJimmy Elledge. The twowere paired togetherwhen both worked forChip Ganassi Racing.

“The whole goal is todo the best job we canuntil Brian returns,”said Mears, who hasfi nished 22nd and 29thin two starts as Vickers’replacement. “It doesmake some sense if youlook at it from Jimmyand I having alreadyworked together. It’sgoing to speed up thatprocess. Having workedtogether before, it’ll bestrictly what can we doto get this car to go fast-er, instead of trying tolearn how to work witheach other.”

Ryan Pemberton,crew chief for Vickers’team since the start ofthe 2009 season, willbegin working withSpeed this weekend atPocono.

Vickers, who won onerace last season andmade the Chase for theSprint Cup champion-ship, was 20th in pointsbefore he was sidelinedwith blood clots.

Speed is currently26th in the standings.

Defending champion Roger Federer reacts as he falls behind plays Robin Soderling during their quarterfi nal match of the French Open at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris on Tuesday. Federer failed to reach the semifi nals of a Grand Slam event for the fi rst time in six years.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A slimmed-down Ben Roethlisberger whistled practice passes to his re-ceivers for the fi rst time in fi ve weeks, and a team-mate didn’t need to watch video tape to know what he’d just seen.

“He’s been working hard at home,” defensive end Brett Keisel said. “He wants to be great this year. So, hopefully, he will (be).”

Even if considerable re-pair work needs to be done, on the fi eld and off it.

The two-time Super Bowl champion quarter-back didn’t talk to report-ers after practicing Tues-day for the fi rst time since drawing a six-game sus-pension April 21 for vio-lating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

Roethlisberger returns to practice

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — At some point this postseason, it would have seemed prepos-terous the Blackhawks would have more wins in the Stanley Cup fi nal than Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have points combined.

Yet, that’s the reality for Chicago after win-ning the fi rst two games at home.

Toews and Kane have been noticeably missing on the scoresheet.

Not a point, not an as-sist.

Their sticks have barely touched the puck, reducing Chicago’s star forwards to jumping in the celebration pile and not igniting one.

In a series where goal-ie Antti Niemi and a roll call list of scorers have put the Blackhawks ahead of the Philadel-phia Flyers 2-0, Toews

and Kane have yet to play a major role in help-ing Chicago try and win the Stanley Cup for the fi rst time since 1961.

“It’s not always the top line that gets it done as far as goal scoring,” Chi-cago coach Joel Quenn-eville said Tuesday. “By committee, by team, there’s a lot of different areas. Defense can even complement scoring as well.”

True, but having the pair take over a game or two in hostile Phila-delphia can ease some of the offensive burden of others not used to be-ing counted on to score. Kane scored 30 goals and had 88 points this sea-son; Toews had 25 goals and 68 points in leading the Blackhawks revival from one-time doormat to the second-best record in the Western Confer-ence.

Blackhawks overcome struggles of duo

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Phil Jackson knows the story by heart, even if his players only seem interested in the last two chapters.

Their coach is steeped in the history of pro basketball’s most compelling rivalry, familiar with every twist in the Boston Celtics’ half-century of champi-onship clashes with the Los An-geles Lakers. The NBA’s most decorated franchises have bat-tled through heartbreaks, high stakes and neck-aches while forging a true pro sports rivalry, that rarest of commodities in the age of free agency.

Jackson doesn’t mind that almost everybody playing in the franchises’ 12th NBA fi nals meeting, starting Thursday night at Staples Center, doesn’t

have much of a grasp on the his-tory sewn into the uniforms they wear.

So what if Ron Artest claims total ignorance of the Lakers’

past, while Kobe Bryant says he couldn’t care less who Los Ange-les played? So what if the deep-seated hatred between the fran-chises’ fans doesn’t seem to be truly savored by nearly anybody except Paul Pierce, the Los An-geles native turned Celtics star?

When asked why the kids these days just don’t get it, Jackson smirks and nimbly sidesteps the trap set for grumpy old men and history buffs.

“That rivalry is renewed ... it seems like every 20 years, and now here it is,” Jackson said. “This is our second time going back at them. It’s one that I think

piques the interest of the fans ofbasketball.”

Notice he didn’t mention theplayers’ interest. In the age ofeasy team-swapping, $100 mil-lion contracts and offseasonVegas partying with bitter in-season opponents, there’s notmuch actual malice to be foundbetween these Lakers and theseCeltics.

“It’s not a personal thing,”Celtics forward Kevin Garnettsaid before the Celtics practicedat UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion onTuesday. “They’re a great team,we’re a great team. We’re bothtrying to get to the same goal.”

Lakers, Celtics ready to meet in Finals for 12th time

C H A T T A N O O G A , Tenn. (AP) — Arizona State’s Jesper Ken-negard and Augusta State’s Henrik Norland-er shot 4-under-par 68s to lead the individual race, while Oklahoma State and Florida State shared the team lead through Tuesday’s opening medal-play round at the NCAA Division I men’s

golf championship.The Honors Course

was made softer and more forgiving by week-end rains and overcast weather.

NEW YORK — Miguel Tejada’s two-out, two-run throwing error al-lowed Javier Vazquez to win a stellar match-up with Brian Matusz, and the New York Yan-kees beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 Tuesday night.

Tejada, playing his fi rst season at third base, fi elded Alex Rodriguez’s sharp grounder off re-liever David Hernan-dez in the seventh in-ning. His throw to fi rst bounced in the dirt and Ty Wigginton couldn’t stretch far enough to scoop it, giving the Yan-kees a gift.

LEBRON UPDATE–CLEVELAND (AP) — One month from the start of the NBA’s free

agency frenzy, LeBron James has handicapped his fi eld of suitors.The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the pack.In his fi rst interview since the Cavs’ season ended with a shock-

ing, second-round loss to Boston, James told CNN’s Larry King that Cleveland has “an edge” to re-sign him when the greatest collec-tion of free agents in league history hits the open market on July 1.


MOTORSPORTS, SOCCER

MOORESVILLE. (AP) — Kyle Busch shut down one of his fi nancially strapped Truck Series teams Tuesday after driver Tayler Malsam accepted a promotion to the Nationwide Series.

Malsam will drive the No. 10 Toyota for Braun Racing starting Saturday at Nashville. Kyle Busch Motorsports an-nounced it will no longer enter the No. 56 Toyota, which doesn’t have a full-time sponsor, in the Truck Series the rest of the season.

Malsam is the second KBM driver to leave for the Nationwide Series in a month.

Brian Ickler, who had been splitting time with Busch in the No. 18 truck, ac-cepted a job with Roush Fenway Rac-ing.

“The same situation occurred with Tayler,” Busch said in a statement. “Braun offered him a chance to move up to the Nationwide Series and we have no reason to hold him back. He’s a driver, like Brian, who absorbed a lot of knowledge from myself, (competi-tion director) Rick Ren and the rest of the guys at KBM. We support him all the way.”

Shutting down the No. 56 team will lessen the fi nancial load for Sprint Cup star Busch, whose foray into own-ership this year has been plagued by sponsorship woes.

He acknowledged last month that he was funding the two teams mostly out of his own pocket.

KBM will continue to fi eld the No. 18 truck, which is tops in the owners’ standings. Busch will drive it in some races.

The rest of the driver schedule is still being determined after Ickler’s depar-ture.

Veteran Johnny Benson will drive the truck Friday at Texas while Busch is at Pocono Raceway for Cup race.

The 21-year-old Malsam fi nished no better than 13th in seven Truck Series races this year and was 11th in the points standings. Malsam will replace Jason Leffl er in the No. 10 Nationwide car, while Leffl er returns to Braun’s No. 38.

IRENE, South Africa (AP) — The slogan on the side of the bus reads “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Victory!” with the Stars and Stripes painted alongside.

The U.S. World Cup team is making itself at home in South Africa, ready at last to play the games that matter most.

The Americans are staying in the 74-room Irene Country Lodge, a luxury hotel north of Johannesburg and south of Pretoria protected by stone walls and barbed wire. There’s a lake on the prop-erty, with an adjacent farm fi lled with cows and enough

roosters to make alarm clocks superfl uous.

“It’s been a long time,” cap-tain Carlos Bocanegra said Tuesday in the interview tent, pitched on the dairy farm. “Now it’s fi nally here. We’re in South Africa. So we’re excited for the games to start. It feels real now that we’re down here in South Africa and we’re set up at our hotel and you see all the World Cup fanfare.”

The 23-man roster and about an equal number of coaches and support staff left Washington-Dulles Inter-national Airport on Sunday evening and arrived 17 hours

later to a warm welcome. Af-ter a night of rest, practiceresumed Tuesday ahead ofthe U.S. team’s World Cupopener against England onJune 12.

“The travel seemed quiteeasy. Maybe we’re used toit by now,” U.S. coach BobBradley said.

Practice is not too faraway in Pretoria’s PilditchStadium, a lush green fi eldsurrounded by an eight-lanerunning track with about5,000 seats on one side. Bermstopped with palm trees wrapthe other segments of thefi eld and the leaves are start-ing to fade to brown.

INDY UPDATE–INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — IndyCar driv-

er Ryan Hunter-Reay has had success-ful surgery on his left thumb and is being fi tted for a carbon-fi ber splint that will allow him to race Saturday at Texas.

The American has won one race this season and his deal with Andretti Au-tosport is to expire after Saturday’s race. He is the only driver to reach Vic-tory Lane not driving for Roger Penske or Chip Ganassi.

Hunter-Reay hurt the thumb on pit row during Sunday’s Indianapolis 500. He also was involved in the frighten-ing crash with Mike Conway on Lap 199, but was not injured in that col-lision.

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing has not said who will replace Conway in the No. 24 car. He is expected to miss at least three months with leg and back injuries.

DILBERT

WASHINGTON (AP) – The economic recovery gained strength on the big-gest rise in construction spending in nearly a decade and the 10th straight month of expansion for the manu-facturing sector.

Temporary government incentives fueled most of the construction spending increases in April. Industry spending rose 2.7 percent with gains in all major sec-tors, the Commerce Depart-ment said Tuesday.

In a separate report Tues-day, the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives, said its manufacturing in-dex dipped slightly in May from a nearly six-year high in April. But the 59.7 read-ing for May was well above the 50 level that indicates expansion.

Export orders rose last

month despite the debt cri-sis in Europe that threatens to spread.

“The European fi scal cri-sis doesn’t appear to have harmed the prospects of U.S. manufacturers, at least not yet,” wrote Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist with Capital Economics.

The news was welcomed on Wall Street. Stocks erased early losses after the two reports signaled a lift in the economic re-covery. The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 40 points in midday trading after sliding in early trading.

Construction spending was boosted by a homebuy-er tax credit, which helped residential construction surge 4.4 percent in April. The tax credit expired at the end of April.

Government spending

also rose on the strength of federal support. The 2.4 per-cent increase was aided by the economic stimulus pro-gram that Congress passed in February 2009. State and local spending jumped 2.3 percent and federal spend-ing rose 2.9 percent.

The other major sector, nonresidential construc-tion, climbed 1.7 percent. That marked the fi rst ad-vance in this category since March 2009. The strength in April came from gains in private sector work on com-munications projects and power generation facilities. Construction of offi ce build-ings and the category that includes shopping centers fell in April.

Commercial building projects have suffered in the weak economy through rising loan de-faults and tighter credit.

Building, manufacturing bolster economy

LONDON (AP) – Shares in BP PLC plummeted on Tuesday, wiping billions off the British company’s market value, after the failure of its latest attempt to stop the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Speculation about the London-based company’s future mounted as the share rout – taking the stock to its lowest level in more than a year – was compounded by BP’s rev-elation that its costs relat-ing to the accident are ap-proaching $1 billion.

Some analysts believe that BP’s stock will re-bound if renewed efforts to contain the spread of oil from the broken Deep-water Horizon well are successful, but others suggest that the company could become a takeover target.

“This situation has now gone far beyond concerns

of BP’s chief executive Tony Hayward being fi red, or shareholder divi-dend payouts being cut – it’s got the real smell of death,” said Dougie Youngson, oil analyst at Arbuthnot.

“Given the collapse in the share price and the potential for it to fall fur-ther, we expect that it could become a takeover target, particularly if its operating position in the U.S. becomes untenable,” he added.

BP shares closed down 13 percent at 429.9 pence ($6.31) on the London Stock Exchange on Tues-day – making it the big-gest faller on the exchange on the fi rst day of trading since the company’s un-successful attempts at a “top kill” operation, shoot-ing mud and other debris into the leaking well, over the weekend.

BP shares drop in Europe

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal safety regulators are investigating a small number of reports of gas pedals becoming trapped by fl oor mats in 2010 Ford Fusions and Mercury Mi-lans.

The National Highway Traffi c Safety Administra-tion said it has received three such complaints involving unsecured all weather fl oor mats. There are no reports of crashes or injuries because of the problem.

But it is similar to Toy-ota’s problems with fl oor mats that led to the recall of more than 5 million ve-

hicles worldwide. In those cases, drivers said their vehicles sped up when ped-als became lodged under all-weather mats that were stacked on top of the fl oor mats.

To solve the problem, Toyota shortened its gas pedals and took out some of the carpet padding below the pedal.

Safety offi cials said the investigation covers about 250,000 Fusions and Milans. The preliminary investiga-tion, opened on Friday, is meant to determine wheth-er the complaints have merit and the seriousness of any potential problems.

AIG won’t accept lower Prudential offer

LONDON – Bailed-out U.S. insurer AIG said Tues-day it won’t accept a lower offer for its Asian insurance business from Prudential, which proposed a $5 bil-lion cut to calm rebellious shareholders who thought the price was too high.

London Stock Ex-change-listed Prudential PLC initially agreed to pay $35.5 billion for AIA, the Asian insurance business of American International Group Inc. Faced with the growing possibility that it could not win 75 percent back-ing from shareholders, Prudential lowered the offer to $30.375 billion.

Hewlett-Packard to cut 9,000 jobs

NEW YORK – Hewlett-Packard Co. said Tuesday it will lay off about 9,000 workers in the unit that provides technology ser-vices to other businesses as the company consoli-dates and automates its commercial data centers.

The cuts will be made over about three years and amount to some 3 percent of HP’s global work force of 304,000 employees as of October 2009, the most recent fi gure available.

NEW YORK (AP) –Stocks took another late-day dive Tuesday after thegovernment said it wasstarting criminal and civilinvestigations into theGulf of Mexico oil spill.

The Dow Jones industri-al average dropped almost113 points. Its plunge cameshortly before the closeand minutes after Attor-ney General Eric Holdermade the announcement.

Stocks in energy com-panies and oil serviceproviders tumbled on thenews, and other stocksfollowed.

BP PLC, which oper-ated the rig that causedthe spill, fell almost 15percent. Anadarko Petro-leum Corp., which has astake in the rig that ex-ploded, tumbled nearly 20percent. Oil services com-pany Halliburton Inc. fellalmost 15 percent.

Tuesday’s announce-ment raised the possibil-ity that oil companiesmight have to pay outhuge amounts in fi nes, orsee their operations ham-pered by a government in-vestigation.

“Right now it’s head-line risk that’s killing usin this market,” said KenKamen, president of Mer-cadien Asset Managementin Hamilton, N.J.

Trading was choppy formuch of the day beforeHolder’s announcement,a sign that investorsweren’t sure where to puttheir money.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tip-per, are separating after 40 years of marriage that included a White House run when their sunny re-lationship offered a coun-terpoint to President Bill Clinton’s philandering.

According to an e-mail circulated among the cou-ple’s associates on Tues-day, the Gores said it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consider-ation.”

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confi rmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further.

The Gores were telling friends they “grew apart” after 40 years of marriage and there was no affair in-volved, according to two longtime close associates and family friends, who

spoke on the condition of anonymity because it was a personal matter.

The associates said the Gores, over time, had carved out separate lives, with the former

vice president on the road frequently. One of the as-sociates said: “Their lives had gotten more and more separated.”

The Gores, who were married on May 19, 1970, at

the National Cathedral in Washington, crafted an im-age as a happily married couple during his eight-year stint as vice president in the 1990s and a presiden-tial candidate in 2000.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Authorities say a quirk in Mexican law is delaying extradition proceedings for a TV producer being sought in his wife’s death at a posh Cancun resort.

“Survivor” producer Bruce Beresford-Red-man said he returned to Los Angeles after leaving Mexico without his pass-port last month. Authori-ties said the extradition process requires a search of Mexico to determine a suspect is not there.

extraditionCHICAGO (AP) – An

apologetic Sarah Fergu-son told Oprah Winfrey that even though she is in deep fi nancial debt, her offer to sell access to her former husband, Prince Andrew, for $724,000 be-gan as an effort to raise money for a friend.

The Duchess of York said in an interview that aired Tuesday on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she only asked for so much money after the undercover journalist posing as a businessman

gave her $40,000 for a friend, whom she would not identify.

“I just took a long shot ... I

think I just went, ‘Well, if you’re going for 40 (thou-sand dollars), well, OK, if you want to do business in the future,’ ” she said, trying to explain, before, admitting that she didn’t know what she was thinking.

TRIAD – The fi rst week of June ... thoughts turn to summer vaca-tions, memories of the just-past Memorial Day weekend ... and voting?

That’s right – voting will begin Thursday for three area runoff elections from last month’s party primaries.

Polls for early voting, known for-mally as one-stop absentee voting, will remain open through June 19 leading up to runoff Election Day itself June 22.

Days and times for early voting vary with the county. In Davidson, Guilford and Randolph counties, early voting only will take place at the board of elections offi ces in each county.

The three area runoffs are tak-ing place because the top vote-get-ter in each race didn’t receive in excess of 40 percent of the total vote in the May 4 primary.

HIGH POINT – The second phase of the North Carolina Energy Star State Appliance Rebate Program kicked off Tuesday with a slow but steady pace, according to local re-tailers.

The “Black Friday” feel wasn’t as prevalent as it was when the fi rst phase of the program began April 22, said John Capes, store manager of Sears at Oak Hollow Mall.

“This is a totally different animal than phase one,” Capes said. “It’s much more contained and self-con-trolled. A lot of it is on the consum-er this time.”

Unlike the fi rst phase, which of-fered 15 percent in-store rebates on Energy Star-qualifi ed refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers and washing machines, the second phase is of-fering mail-in rebates of varying amounts on qualifying air con-ditioners, heat pumps and water heaters as well. Consumers can ap-ply for a prepaid Visa rebate card on the North Carolina Energy Of-fi ce’s Web site. The state will mail approved applicants a prepaid Visa card with the rebate amount. After 15 days, the card loses its value and the money goes back into the pro-gram.

Because the $1 million set aside for the program is far less than the

$8.6 million in federal government funding that phase one began with, some retailers speculate the money could go fast.

“I think people will be lucky if they can still get the rebates after the next 48 hours,” said Herman Hunter, president of Hunter Heating & Air Conditioning on W. Ward Avenue.

Hunter said he had seen some sales generated by the program, but the sales came from customers that were already planning to buy the ap-pliances in the near future. He sold an air conditioning unit and a fur-nace under the program Tuesday.

“It certainly hasn’t hurt,” he said. “It has sped up decisions on doing things. If a person was going to buy

one of these items anyway but they were going to put it off for a couple of months, it has caused them to buy now instead.”

Sales associates at Lowe’s on N. Main Street said the mail-in rebates may cause a more widespread fl ow of traffi c rather than a rush of traf-fi c on the program’s fi rst day.

“I think the fact that this is a mail-in rebate has slowed some people up a bit,” said John Rothrock, ap-pliance sales specialist at the store. “We had a better day than normal (on Tuesday), but that’s about it.”

The program ends when funds are exhausted.


Phase 2 of Energy Star program puts responsibility on consumer

HIGH POINT – City offi -cials have credited an on-line auction service with bringing about some good fi nancial news during a bleak budget season.

Sales of surplus city property and equipment through the GovDeals.com Web site have netted more than $1 million for city coffers since Septem-ber 2008. That’s a windfall compared to the $175,000 to $200,000 the city used to earn in a typical year auctioning off old police cars, garbage trucks and other items taken out of service, offi cials said.

“We believe the compet-itive Internet bidding pro-cess gets us more for our surplus property than the limited market base we had with traditional on-site auctions,” said Gary Smith, High Point’s fl eet services director. “Selling our surplus online allows us to attract buyers from all over the U.S.”

As of last week, the city had sold 288 items through the site, includ-ing a 1994 Simon Duplex 75-foot ladder truck pre-viously used by the High Point Fire Department to a bidder 269 miles away in South Carolina. Of the top 10 assets sold by the city through the site, the aver-age distance traveled by buyers to High Point was more than 723 miles.

Smith said the surplus property is typically com-prised of things like police vehicles, which are often sold to taxi cab compa-nies, and garbage trucks, which are purchased by waste haulers in the pri-vate sector.

The surplus property funds aren’t expected to have a major impact on a cost-cutting measure ten-tatively approved by the City Council to reduce the fl eet replacement budget by $300,000 for the budget year beginning July 1.

“Given the situation we’re in now, we’re all go-ing to have to tighten our belts to make vehicles and equipment last longer,” Smith said.

The cuts shouldn’t af-fect the city’s ability to replace things like police vehicles, but plans are to scale back other aspects of the fl eet for more repairs short of replacement.

“We put public safety fi rst. You look at refuse, garbage collection, land-fi ll operations – those are things we have to put at the top of the list,” he said. “We pretty much have to prioritize after that, so there are things we’ll just have to extend out for lon-ger periods.”

PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Pen-guins are looking for 250 students to help with an important task and there’s only one major requirement: You must know how to flush a toilet.

Construction is near completion on the NHL team’s new arena, the Consol Energy Center.

But like with any new arena or stadium, of-ficials need to simul-taneously flush all the toilets and urinals to make sure everything is working.

The Penguins are calling the June 10 event the “Student Flush,” a spinoff of their popular ticket-ing program known

as “Student Rush.” Students already in-volved in the ticketing program can enter for a chance to win. Stu-dents must be 18 or older to participate in the flush-apalooza.

In all, there will be 400 flushers, includ-ing some construction officials, on hand that day.

Students sought for simultaneous fl ushes

RALEIGH (AP) – Dem-ocratic U.S. Senate can-didate Cal Cunningham sought Tuesday to earn the support of elderly vot-ers – a key demographic for this month’s runoff primary.

Trying to strike a con-trast with rival Elaine Marshall a month after she won a fi rst round of voting, Cunningham said he would work to keep the Social Security retire-ment age at current lev-els. He questioned a com-

ment Marshall made two months ago when she told The Associated Press that lawmakers are going to have to look at whether to raise the retirement age to keep Social Security fi -nances in order.

Marshall pointed out that the life expectancy of the average American is on the rise.

“With an aging elector-ate, some hard choices are going to have to be made on some of these programs,” Marshall said

at the time. Americans can get full Social Secu-rity benefi ts at age 67, which is up from 65 for those born before 1937.

Cunningham said So-cial Security would be fi ne if lawmakers didn’t continue to raid the pro-gram’s funds. The Social Security trust funds have built up a $2.5 trillion surplus over the past 25 years but the govern-ment has borrowed that money to spend on other programs.

It’s an issue Cunning-ham is raising to draw a distinction between him-self and Marshall, who won a fi rst primary vote last month. The two face each other in a June 22 runoff.

“At the heart of it, the difference is that I’ll fi ght against raising the retire-ment age and she won’t,” said Cunningham, a Lex-ington attorney and for-mer state senator, after an event at a Raleigh re-tirement community.

WILMINGTON (AP) – A North Carolina man has been sentenced to life in prison after be-ing convicted of beat-ing an Oak Island res-taurant owner with

bedposts during a rob-bery.

The StarNews of Wilm-ington reported Tuesday a jury found 21-year-old Joshua Caudill guilty of fi rst-degree murder.

Prosecutors say Cau-dill and another man waited for Phillip Cook to come home in July 2007, beating him and stealing $560.

Authorities say the

men and two women who drove them to Cook’s home used the money to buy heroin.

Caudill’s lawyer says they will appeal the ver-dict.

BRIEFS---


Taliban dismisses peace meeting before startKABUL, Afghanistan – The Taliban on Tuesday

dismissed this week’s national peace conference in Afghanistan even before it had begun, threatening death to the 1,600 delegates in cassette messages dis-tributed by the insurgent leadership.

The three-day meeting, which begins today in a giant tent at Kabul Polytechnic University, will discuss how to reconcile with the fi ghters – even as the U.S. rushes in more troops to ramp up the nearly nine-year war.

German labor minister a favorite for presidentBERLIN – Germany’s labor minister is an early

favorite for the presidential nomination, a day after President Horst Koehler’s surprise resignation, ac-cording to an offi cial quoted by a local news agency Tuesday.

Ursula von der Leyen would become the country’s fi rst female president if nominated by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition government and then ap-proved by lawmakers.

Cuba moving political prisoners closer to homesHAVANA – Cuba has begun transferring some of

the country’s 200 political prisoners to jails closer to their homes, a human rights offi cial and the wife of one inmate said Tuesday, the fi rst sign the govern-ment is making good on a deal with the Roman Catho-lic Church to improve conditions behind bars.

“This could be the starting gun,” said Elizardo San-chez, who is head of the Havana-based Cuban Commis-sion on Human Rights and National Reconciliation.

Tropical Storm Agatha deaths rise to 179GUATEMALA CITY – Rural villagers used hoes and

pick axes to hunt for victims of landslides that have killed at least 179 people in Central America while of-fi cials in Guatemala’s capital tried to cope with a vast sinkhole that swallowed a clothing factory.

Thousands remained homeless and dozens still missing following the season’s fi rst tropical storm.

Boxes in Polish crash reveal pilots warnedWARSAW, Poland – Poland published cockpit

conversations Tuesday of the fi nal minutes before the April plane crash that killed President Lech Kaczyns-ki, revealing that pilots decided to land in heavy fog de-spite warnings from controllers about poor visibility.

A transcript of the last 39 minutes of the fl ight also shows that a Foreign Ministry offi cial, Mariusz Kaza-na, entered the cockpit and made remarks indicating that the president was involved in deciding whether or not to make the diffi cult landing.

Pakistan claims victory in militant strongholdISLAMABAD – The Pakistani army declared victory

over the Taliban in part of the tribal belt near Af-ghanistan, saying Tuesday the operation in the area is fi nished and civilians can expect to return home soon.

The announcement about the Orakzai tribal region may free the army to send some troops to other districts where Islamist insurgents have bases that threaten the Pakistani state and U.S. troops across the border.

BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq’s Supreme Court on Tuesday took the fi rst major step toward re-solving the nation’s elec-tion crisis, ratifying the results and declaring a secular alliance the big-gest winner in the March 7 parliamentary vote.

Despite the offi cial court approval of the results, the government

impasse remains farfrom over as it couldtake weeks if not monthsbefore lawmakers choosenew leaders.

Chief Judge Midhatal-Mahmoud describedas “reliable” election re-sults that gave 91 seats tothe Iraqiya political alli-ance led by Ayad Allawi,a former prime ministerand secular Shiite.

JERUSALEM (AP) – Is-rael and Egypt signaled a temporary easing of the Gaza Strip blockade Tuesday following harsh international condemna-tion of the deadly Israeli raid on an aid fl otilla en route to the sealed-off Palestinian territory.

Egypt said it was freely opening its border with Gaza for the fi rst time in more than a year to allow in humanitarian aid. Is-rael began expelling some of the nearly 700 activists it rounded up in the raid, and rejected criticism of its heavy-handed tactics. Israel pledged to halt a new attempt by pro-Pal-estinian groups to sail more ships into Gaza.

The raid has ignited unprecedented anger in Turkey and driven the Jewish state’s relations with its most important Muslim ally to their low-est point in six decades.

Meanwhile, American Emily Henochowicz, 21, of Maryland, lost her eye when she was hit by a tear gas canister shot by an Israeli border policeman during a demonstration in Jerusalem against the naval raid, offi cials said.

Our state government currently has the right to take DNA samples from people who have been con-victed of a felony. Now, some state legislators and Attorney General Roy Cooper want the police to

have the right to take DNA samples from any citizen who is arrested, even

though they haven’t been tried or convicted.

What about probable cause and the idea of “innocent until proven guilty’’? Isn’t taking DNA from a person who hasn’t been con-victed of a crime an unreasonable search and seizure? I wonder how many more rights we citizens will give up before we tell the politi-

cians that they have gone too far. Maybe one day our rulers will pass a law that requires all babies born in the state to undergo DNA testing.

Inaugural City Criterium

was a huge success

Congratulations to all the people and organizations who worked to insure the fi rst High Point City Criterium was a success! The event was extremely well-orga-nized.

The Mendenhall Transportation Center was the perfect location for these races. In addition to

providing shelter for bleachers, vendors and band, the center’s digital announcement boards of information and race schedules enhanced the professionalism of the event.

Our thanks go out to the or-ganizers, Jim Martin and Chip Duckett. We also want to thank the city of High Point for its sup-port and, of course, we want to thank the numerous sponsors of the race.

It was fun being in downtown High Point on Friday and Sat-urday seeing friends, watching incredible racing and being a part of this inaugural criterium. We are already looking forward to next year.

YOUR VIEW---

E very year about this time, big-gov-ernment liberals stand up in front of college commencement crowds across

the country and urge the graduates to do the noblest thing possible – become big-government liberals.

That isn’t how they phrase it, of course. Commencement speakers express great reverence for “public service,” as distin-guished from narrow private “greed.” There is usually not the slightest sign of embarrassment at this self-serving cel-ebration of the kinds of careers they have chosen – over and above the careers of oth-ers who merely provide us with the food we eat, the homes we live in, the clothes we wear and the medical care that saves our health and our lives.

What I would like to see is someone with the guts to tell those students: Do you want to be of some use and service to your fellow human beings? Then let your fellow hu-man beings tell you what they want – not with words, but by putting their money where their mouth is.

You want to see more people have better housing? Build it! Become a builder or developer – if you can stand the sneers and disdain of your classmates and professors who regard the very words as repulsive.

Would you like to see more things become more affordable to more people? Then fi gure out more effi cient ways of producing things or more effi cient ways of getting those things from the producers to the consumers at a lower cost.

That’s what a man named Sam Walton did when he created Wal-Mart, a boon to people with modest incomes and a bane to the elite intelligentsia. In the process, Sam Walton became rich. Was that the “greed” that you have heard your classmates and professors denounce so smugly? If so, it has been such “greed” that has repeatedly brought prices down and thereby brought the American standard of living up.

Back at the beginning of the 20th cen-tury, only 15 percent of American families had a fl ush toilet. Not quite one-fourth had running water. Only 3 percent had electric-ity and 1 percent had central heating. Only one American family in a hundred owned an automobile.

By 1970, the vast majority of those Amer-ican families who were living in poverty

had fl ush toilets, running water and electricity. By the end of the 20th century, more Americans were connected to the Internet than were connected to a water pipe or a sewage line at the begin-ning of the century.

More families have air-conditioning today than had electricity then. Today, more than half of all families with incomes below the offi cial poverty line own a car or

truck and have a microwave.This didn’t come about because of the

politicians, bureaucrats, activists or others in “public service” that you are supposed to admire. No nation ever protested its way from poverty to prosperity or got there through rhetoric or bureaucracies.

It was Thomas Edison who brought us electricity, not the Sierra Club. It was the Wright brothers who got us off the ground, not the Federal Aviation Administration. It was Henry Ford who ended the isolation of millions of Americans by making the automobile affordable, not Ralph Nader.

Those who have helped the poor the most have not been those who have gone around loudly expressing “compassion” for the poor, but those who found ways to make industry more productive and distribution more effi cient, so that the poor of today can afford things that the affl uent of yesterday could only dream about.

The wonderful places where you are supposed to go to do “public service” are as sheltered from the brutal test of real-ity as you have been on this campus for the last four – or is it six? – years. In these little cocoons, all that matters is how well you talk the talk. People who go into the marketplace have to walk the walk.

Colleges can teach many valuable skills, but they can also nourish many dangerous illusions. If you really want to be of service to others, then let them decide what is a service by whether they choose to spend their hard-earned money for it.

THOMAS SOWELL, a native of North Carolina, is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His Web site is www.tsowell.com.

‘T here’s many a true word spoken in jest” is a proverb, unattributed – one wonders who fi rst said it.

That thought came to mind April 1 when an arti-cle in The Rhinoceros Times jokingly told its read-ers that the city of High Point secretly had voted to secede from Guilford County and received state approval to become a county of its own. Then, last week, USA Today published a story headlined, “City-county mergers gain traction,” employing a drop-head reading, “Seen as key to fi scal solu-tions,” indicating that folks in locales across the nation don’t see such action as a joke.

The article began with “strains on governmen-tal budgets and demands for more effi ciency are stirring new interest in merging cities with coun-ties.” The story said there are about 40 merged city-governments, with Louisville-Jefferson County, Ky., being the latest in 2003, after three failed attempts to convince voters.

Merger talks with varying degrees of intensity, for examples, are taking place in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County (Pa.), Buffalo and Erie County (N.Y.), Natchez and Adams County (Miss.), Macon and Bibb County (Ga.), Evansville and Vander-burgh County (Ind.), Covington and Alleghany County (Va.) and Peoria and Peoria County (Ill.).

In addition, Charlotte and Mecklenburg Coun-ty, which already provide what the Owensboro (Ky.) Messenger-Inquirer describes as “an ex-cellent model of functional consolidation,” and, “although political divisions continue to prevent completion of a city-county consolidation, the CharMeck model has become a well-known suc-cess in terms of governance and regional econom-ic leadership.”

As you might imagine, there are pros and cons.Radio show host Brian Gongol, who has studied

the process at length, suggests:• Pros: Waste and ineffi ciency can be reduced by

eliminating service duplication; the more oppor-tunities for small-to-medium-sized bids and con-tracts, the healthier the environment is for small businesses supplying those goods and services; core cities benefi t from tax base expansion; and, it’s easier to promote a metropolitan area under a single “brand” name than under names of mul-tiple communities.

• Cons: It’s harder for individuals to infl uence elected leaders in a larger community; the over-whelming tendency for governments to become less effi cient the larger they grow; the larger the unit, the greater prospects for signifi cant corrup-tion; and, the larger the unit, the easier it is to hide or ignore problems in smaller communities within.

Why bring this up? As the 12-county Piedmont Triad Region is brought closer together – as in aerotropolis planning and execution – talk about consolidations and the importance of present-ing ourselves to the rest of the world as a region rather than sovereign cities and counties will in-crease and intensify.

You’ll need to know how all this works. That’s no joke.

Isn’t this unreasonable search and seizure?

THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 2010 www.hpe.com 5ACOMMENTARY

I ’m sitting outside enjoying the sun. Birds are chirping from the trees, and bees are buzzing while

gathering pollen from the white clover fl owers scattered around the yard. Soft breezes sway the branches of the trees. It’s a great day, and I love feeling the heat from the sun on my face.

School’s out, graduation’s over and thank-you notes have been written. The big concert I have been work-ing toward all year has been played, and my graduation party has been thrown. Just a few months ago, these events seemed like they would never arrive. It felt like I would never be released from the walls which held me four years of my life, fi ve days of the week from eight to three (and of-ten longer). It seemed like graduation would never come, but it has.

It’s almost hard to believe I won’t have to worry about dress code again, at least in a high school set-ting. I won’t have to hurry down the hall for my next class, or rush to make another bagged lunch, or hide my water bottle while I’m in the lab. I can even have my phone or iPod out if I want. Now of course, I’ll deal with these types of annoyances in other parts of life, college included. But they always seem unbearable when you’re forced to go through them day in and day out on pain of a demerit and with daily admonitions from the principal.

Sitting here has made me appreci-ate how time passes. I remember making a North Carolina Notebook several years ago. Filling a 2-inch binder with facts about North Caro-lina, pictures of historical places and

“fun” trivia seemed akin to climbing Mount Everest to my fourth-grade self. But I completed the project and was encouraged that I wouldn’t have to do another like it until eighth grade. Relieved that I had a reprieve for what seemed like an eternity, I put the future project out of mymind.

Eighth grade came and went. I don’t think

we ever actually did the project, but what I’m interested in is that eighth grade came at all. What my mind labeled as forever in fourth grade passed by and is now in my rear viewmirror. Similarly, what I thought as a freshman, junior or even a senior would never arrive has come, and is now in the past. My, how time passes when you’re looking back on it.

And now I’m looking ahead toward college, knowing that it too will be over someday. But that won’t keep me from enjoying it; instead, it will encourage me not to waste it. I want to be able to look back on my college years and know that they meant something, and weren’t just space fi llers. And I can’t even imagine my life after college. But perhaps it’s bet-ter to see what life brings me instead of forcing it to fi t into my plans for happiness. For as William Shake-speare wrote, “We know what we are,but not what we may be.”

FORT HOOD, Texas – Wearing his Army uniform and sitting solemnly in a wheel-chair, the psychiatrist accused of gunning down 13 people at Fort Hood made his fi rst courtroom appearance Tuesday and won a delay in his case.

CHICAGO – Rod Blagojevich has trav-eled the talk show cir-cuit for months, telling anyone who would lis-ten that he’s innocent of federal charges that he conspired to profi t from his power as governor of Illinois to fi ll Presi-dent Barack Obama’s former Senate seat.

Now the impeached former governor and his lawyers are fi nally going to plead their case to a federal court jury Thursday. Blagojevich plans to take the stand.

BOSTON – A judge on Tuesday scheduled an August deportation hearing for a Paki-stani man arrested in Massachusetts on an immigration violation during an investiga-tion of the failed Times Square bombing.

PORT FOURCHON, La. (AP) – Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that federal authorities have opened criminal and civil investigations into the nation’s worst oil spill, and BP lost billions in market value when shares dropped in the fi rst trading day since the company failed yet again to plug the gusher.

“We will closely exam-ine the actions of those involved in the spill. If we fi nd evidence of ille-gal behavior, we will be extremely forceful in our response,” Holder said in New Orleans.

With the ambitious “top kill” abandoned over the weekend, BP’s hope to stanch the leak lies with two relief wells that won’t be fi nished until at least August. The com-

pany is, however, trying another risky temporary fi x to contain the oil and siphon it to the surface by sawing through the leaking pipe and putting a cap over the spill.

Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander, said Tuesday that BP was making its fi rst major cut with super shears that weigh 46,000 pounds and resemble a giant garden tool. The company will also use a powerful dia-mond-edged cutter that resembles a deli slicer to try to make a clean cut above the blowout pre-venter, then will lower a cap over it with a rubber seal.

Meanwhile, Mississ-ippi Gov. Haley Barbour says oil is hitting the state for the fi rst time.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Al-Qaida announced Monday that its No. 3 of-fi cial, Mustafa al-Yazid, had been killed along with members of his family – perhaps one of the most severe blows to the terror movement since the U.S. campaign against al-Qaida began. A U.S. offi cial said al-Yazid was believed to have died in a U.S. mis-sile strike in Pakistan.

His death would be a major blow to al-Qaida, which in December “lost both its internal and external operations chiefs,” an offi cial said.

HIGH POINT – In his fi rst bid for public offi ce, 25-year-old Geoff Shull hopes youth will prevail as he seeks a seat on High Point City Council.

Shull, a native of High Point, will run for the Ward 5 seat held by vet-eran Councilman Chris Whitley, who plans to seek re-election. The fi ling pe-riod for this year’s munic-ipal election begins next month.

Shull said Tuesday the main reason he’s seeking a council seat is to provide a coherent direction for the city’s future.

“One thing I see is that the city is not moving forward. We have mixed visions – we’re trying to pursue an Uptowne, but we don’t really have a down-town,” said Shull, who was home-schooled before enrolling in college and graduating from the Uni-versity of North Carolina at Greensboro with a bach-

elor’s degree in business administration.

The city needs to form al-liances with major players in the community, such as High Point University, to pinpoint opportunities for growth and develop a comprehensive outlook for what High Point can become, Shull said.

Shull, who’s self-employed as a Web site marketing spe-cialist, said he’s not slight-

ing Whitley by running for the Ward 5 seat.

“I’ve talked to Chris nu-merous times. I just think the council could use

some diversity, a younger perspective,” said Shull, who’s been attending council meetings regular-ly for a year.

Whitley, who has spent 17 years on the City Council, said he plans to formally announce his re-election plans soon. Whitley intends to campaign on his service and attention to issues, such as the city budget.

“I’ve expected him (Shull) to run for about the past two months,” Whitley said. “My goal is to try to get re-elected and look after the interests of the city. I want to bring my experience back to the city.”


First-time candidate to challenge Whitley for council seat

FILING PERIOD–Filing for this year’s High Point municipal elec-tions takes place July 2-16. The races for mayor and eight seats on City Council are nonpartisan, meaning the party affi li-ation of the candidates won’t appear on the ballot. All races will be decided in the Nov. 2 general election. There are no High Point mu-nicipal primaries.

BY DIANNA BELLENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ASHEBORO – Aviation enthusi-asts will have a chance to get up-close and personal with various kinds of aircraft and their pilots this weekend.

The N.C. Aviation Museum will have its Fourth Annual Fly-In on Saturday, with helicopters and planes fi lling the airspace over Asheboro from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The annual event is a fund-raiser for the museum. Museum leaders say they hope this year’s fundraiser will help with up-grading a hanger at the facility.

“We hope to raise enough money to be able to pay for a wall to be built across 20 per-cent of Hangar 1, making it a two-story room, and adding heat and air-conditioning,” said Rick Bondurant, general manager and curator of the museum.

Bondurant said he hopes to be able to display environ-

mentally sensitive items there.Along with the renovations,

the museum hopes to be able to buy some new display cases, which are in great need. Bon-durant estimates there are 300 items in storage because of the lack of display space. Also on the list are easels and items for the Bob Moon Museum Store, which will feature a 10 percent discount on the day of the fl y-in.

The event will host familiar vendors from the Triad area. Mitch’s Lexington Style Bar-beque, Farmer Civitan Club and Gilbert’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream will offer a variety of food for attendees.

Face painting, magic shows by Bondurant, live music by local musician Bernie Hall, aviation art print exhibits and model dis-plays by the Central Carolina Re-mote Control Modelers Club and Kit Kringle will be available, as well as race cars provided by the National Auto Sport Association.

Children ages 8-17 are offered free plane rides by the Experi-mental Aircraft Association, and helicopter rides are provided by Heli-Xpress of Winston-Salem. For all other riders, the cost for the helicopter fl ight is $30.

Attendees also can buy a fl ight from Bob Coyle, chairman of the volunteer board of directors, or Curtis Williams, member of the N.C. Aviation Museum. These rides feature aerial views of Ran-dolph County. Prices vary for these fl ights.

Those interested in volunteer-ing are asked to come to the vol-unteer meeting 6 p.m. Thursday in the Fixed Base Operator build-ing of the Asheboro Regional Airport. Anyone can volunteer. The only requirement is that vol-unteers are at least 17 years old.

Attendance for the fl y-in is free. Parking is $10 per car and $20 per van or bus.

HIGH POINT – New furniture orders continued to rise for the fi fth consecutive month in March, according to the recent Furniture Insights monthly newsletter.

Orders were 9 percent higher in March than the same time last year and up 2 percent from February, according to the newsletter published by High Point-based Smith Leonard Accountants and Consultants. About 61 percent of furniture companies surveyed reported an increase in year-over-year sales in March.

New orders also are 9 percent ahead of the fi rst quarter of 2009 thus far, the report showed.

“The March results of our survey produced more positive news for the industry,” said Ken Smith, who writes the report each month. “Admittedly, we are still comparing to weak results in the fi rst quarter of 2009, but it does appear that we are coming out of the slump.”

The increase in March trumps the inclement weather that hit the South and the Northeast that month – a factor Smith said could have hindered sales. High Point’s invitation-only Pre-Market also was held in March.

Economic factors such as jumps in existing home sales, new home sales and retail sales bode well for overall economic conditions affecting the furniture industry, Smith said. While there was a slight drop in the national unemployment rate in April, the number of factory and ware-house employees in the industry continued its decline to 3 percent below last year.

Smith said in the report he hopes to see further sales increas-es and positive effects from the High Point Market in the April report.

“It will be interesting to see what the April and May results are as we should feel the impact of what was believed to be the best High Point Market in the last several,” he said.

“There was some concern that the good feeling at market was a result of retailers restocking and refreshing their showroom fl oors. Yet we have heard from some re-tailers that business at their level is indeed picking up.”

NEW YORK (AP) — A son of former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel was found dead in an apart-ment after a day of bar hopping with a man he’d just met, a law en-forcement offi cial said Tuesday.

A drunken Andrew Koppel, 40, had been placed in a back bed-room of the Manhattan apartment to sleep it off and apparently had been dead at least four hours before anyone realized, said Belinda Caban, who lives in the apartment.

He was declared dead around 1:30 a.m. Mon-day, New York Police Department Detective John Sweeney said. The cause of his death hadn’t been determined, but there was no evidence indicating a crime, po-lice said.

Ted Koppel is the for-mer longtime anchor of the ABC News show “Nightline.” Andrew Koppel was one of his four children. A tele-phone call to the el-der Koppel’s publicist wasn’t immediately re-turned Tuesday.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, an acquain-tance of Ted Koppel, on Tuesday offered his condolences to the Kop-pel family.

“It’s very sad,” Bloom-berg said. “I know Ted casually, and I don’t know how anybody deals with losing a child.”

MONTREAL (AP) – Chris Haney, a co-creator of the popular Trivial Pursuit board game, died Monday at the age of 59.

Scott Abbott, who cre-ated Trivial Pursuit with Haney, said Haney died in a Toronto hospital af-ter a long illness.

Haney worked for The Canadian Press and the Montreal Gazette news-paper as a photo editor before going into the board game business.

He teamed up with Ab-bott, a Canadian Press sports reporter, in 1979 to invent Trivial Pursuit.

“He was one of the most knowledgeable, widely read people I’ve encoun-tered,” Abbott said of his friend, who was a vora-cious newspaper reader.

RALEIGH (AP) – House Democrats are sticking with their North Carolina state government budget for now even though the plan contains nearly a half-billion dollars in federal Medicaid dol-lars that may never ar-rive.

House Democrats said Tuesday they’re developing a contin-gency plan to take care of any shortfall that may develop should Congress fail to ap-prove $24 billion for states to extend a more generous Medicaid formula for six more months.

Wife conceals late husband’s affair

D ear Abby: My friends and neigh-bors thought I had

the best husband, and our children thought he was the greatest dad. But on the day he died, I found out he had been having sex with another woman.

I went to visit him in the hospital and over-heard the whole thing as he was talking to her. Abby, she was a prosti-tute. I knew money had been disappearing, but I never imagined anything like this.

Should I go on pretend-ing to my adult children, or tell them the truth? They thought he was the best father in the whole world. Even though this happened more than fi ve years ago, I continue to have nightmares over it. – Still Hurting in Boston

Dear Hurting: I see nothing positive to be gained by shattering your children’s image of their father at this point. I’m sorry he failed you as a husband. However, for you to spend more of your life nursing hurt and dis-appointment is a waste of your precious time. Talk to your religious adviser or confi de in a therapist. But do not bring this up with your children.

Dear Abby: I am a

76-year-old father of three sons and grandfather of fi ve. The other night, I was dining out with my brother, one of my sons, his 31-year-old wife, and their two children, ages 5 and 2.

The server was standing next to me and the 5-year-old, poised to take our orders. My daughter-in-law was distracted by the 2-year-old, so

I placed my order so the server would not be kept standing there.

My son chastised me for not waiting until his wife placed her order fi rst. Embarrassed, I offered an apology. Was I wrong not to wait for my daughter-in-law to place her order? What would have been the proper thing to do? – Embarrassed in Gar-fi eld, N.J.

Dear Embarrassed: Frankly, the “proper thing to do” in this case would have been for your son to save his criticism until he could talk to you privately, rather than embarrassing you in a public place. Ordinarily, the rule of thumb “ladies fi rst” would apply when giving the dinner order. However, because your daughter-in-law was dis-tracted, speaking up and telling the server what you wanted makes sense to me.

Dear Abby: The com-

pany where I work posted an ad online and at our state unemployment job board for a position that

needed to be fi lled. The ad detailed simple but specifi c instructions that included asking appli-cants to write a cover letter to address certain questions. It also said – in large letters: “You Must Follow These Direc-tions Or You Will Not Be Considered For Employ-ment.”

Of the 133 resumes we received, 76 did not contain the information that was requested. These applications were moved to an “Incomplete” fi le and not considered for hire. What’s sad is that judging by their resumes alone, several of these ap-plicants had the qualifi ca-tions we were looking for.

With unemployment be-ing what it is, I was sur-prised that the majority of the applicants did not comply with the simple instructions. Please advise your unemployed readers that a job is out there for them, but they must follow instructions. – Trying To Be Helpful, Tumwater, Wash.

W I N S T O N - S A L E M – Novant Health Inc. said Tuesday it has fi led a law-suit against Aetna Inc.,

accusing the insurer of engaging in false adver-tising about its contract negotiations.

The lawsuit, fi led Thurs-day, is the latest shot by the companies, which be-

gan a heated dispute over reimbursement fees last month.

Aetna said on May 11 it would end its contract with Novant in the Triad and Charlotte markets on

July 1 if the groups don’t reach an agreement on al-lowable charges for medi-cal care.

If that happens, Aetna customers would be con-sidered as out-of-network

at Forsyth Medical Center and Medical Park Hospi-tal, which would require them to pay more for ser-vices. Aetna has sent let-ters about the dispute to doctors in both markets,

and is meeting with largeemployers.

The groups are operat-ing under an agreementthat began in May 2004. Itwas amended and extend-ed in 2008.

Novant Health fi les lawsuit against Aetna

RALEIGH (AP) – A Sen-ate panel recommended Tuesday that North Car-olina borrow $451 mil-lion for construction and equipment purchases in state government and on college campuses, with boosters arguing it’s right to incur debt despite the sour economy because it’s an inexpensive time to build.

A majority on the Sen-ate Finance Committee agreed with university leaders urging approval of the debt package, more than half of which would go to complete engineer-ing buildings at North Carolina State University in Raleigh and North Caro-lina A&T State University in Greensboro.

The chancellors of both schools told the panel the building would prepare thousands of students in growing fi elds, including nanonengineering and bioengineering at A&T. Most of the students would remain in the state, where they are more likely to cre-ate companies that would generate high-tech jobs for North Carolina citizens, new N.C. State University Chancellor Randy Wood-son said.

“This certainly is the most diffi cult of times but we understand that in-vesting in this future will continue to place North

Carolina at the lead of the pack,” Woodson told law-makers before all Demo-crats joined a few Repub-licans in voting for the package. The bill could come to the full Senate as early as Wednesday.

The proposed $450.9 million package, which

wouldn’t require state-wide voter approval like traditional bonds, would set aside $161.5 million for N.C. State’s fourth en-gineering building on the Centennial Campus in west Raleigh and $104.4 million to A&T to replace the current McNair Build-ing on campus. There would also be $130 million for repairs and renova-tions to state and univer-sity buildings and $55 mil-lion to buy equipment for

community colleges and University of North Caro-lina system campuses.

Most GOP senators on the committee voted against the package, say-ing it makes no sense to borrow when the state could face a $3 billion shortfall next year.

The additional debt pay-ment would send the state over a self-imposed debt limit generated by a com-mittee led by State Trea-surer Janet Cowell. For years, Democrats have identifi ed this target as one they didn’t want to surpass.

The package would add another $39 million to the more than $600 million in debt service the state al-ready must pay annually on more than $6 billion in debt.

“Would you do that in your personal life if you found out they were going to cut you back one day a week,” said Senate Minor-ity Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. “Are you go-ing to go out and buy a new car? I don’t care how much you need and want. You’re not going to be doing that. And we shouldn’t be doing that for the state.”

The additional debt would raise the state’s annual debt service to an amount equal to 4.25 per-cent of state revenues used for operating expenses.

Senate panel recommends borrowing $451 million

Most GOP senators voted against the package, saying it makes no sense to borrow when the state could face a $3 billion budget gap next year.

B randon Robert Hall was an un-likely candidate to

be a leader.Shy and quiet, he was

not one to stand up, speak up or move others to action. Then, in third grade, after persistent prodding, Hall agreed to participate in his classroom’s stage play.

“I thought it would be scary, but it ended

up being a lot of fun. That is when I began to come out of my shyness,” Hall said.

The next turn-ing point occurred when Hall played vol-leyball,

soccer and basketball at East Forsyth Middle School. He was named Most Valuable Player two years in a row because, he was told, of the way he treated other people.

Hall did as the coaches asked, treated his op-ponents with respect and played with all his heart. This led to his being named team captain and a chance to talk to of-fi cials during the game.

“I was still quiet and very respectful, but I was learning to be asser-tive,” Hall said.

Then, in eighth grade, Hall was invited to represent EFMS as a Kernersville Cares for Kids student leader. Hall would be attending KCK board meetings with fi ve principals, the superin-tendent, the police chief and other offi cials.

“When I had to stand up and make a pre-sentation, I was really nervous. But when the adults came up and told me what a good job I did, it made me want to do more,” Hall said.

And do more he did. The following year, as a KCK high school student at East Forsyth, Hall volunteered at the KCK booth at Spring Folly and talked to an average of 100 people per hour.

By 10th grade, Hall made the choice to quit sports to focus more on KCK, which supports voluntary drug test-ing and aims to create positive connections between students and their adult community.

“In 2010, the concept of leadership really gelled for me. I began speaking at civic clubs and look-ing for ways to get our message out,” Hall said.

In the spring, Hall was unanimously elected by his peers to be the presi-dent of KCK’s 20 student leaders, and on April 27 he gave a speech to more than 400 people at the annual KCK Lunch and Listen.

“KCK has changed my life,” Hall said. “It’s helped me stay drug free, it’s taught me how to lead, and it’s helped me make positive connec-tions with my commu-nity.”

Nord provides a lifesaver for those with rare diseasesD ear Dr. Donohue:

A dear friend has a very rare dis-

ease, Cronkhite-Canada syndrome. It started last summer with her hair falling out, then her fi nger and toenails were affected. Can you tell me more about it? – M.Y.

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is named after the two doctors who fi rst described it in 1955. It’s a most uncommon illness, featuring polyps in the digestive tract that lead to diarrhea, abdominal pain, malabsorption and malnutrition. In addition to the digestive tract, hair loss and nail changes, including loss of the nails, often are encountered. Treatment involves restoring nutritional balance through intrave-nous feeding. A number of drugs, including the cor-tisone drug prednisone, have been used to control this illness. Because of its rarity, its cause hasn’t been found, and the one best treatment remains to be determined.

I used your letter for another reason. That reason is to introduce the public to NORD, the National Organiza-tion for Rare Disorders. More than 6,000 serious illnesses are considered rare, and they affect more than 25 million Ameri-cans. People with rare disorders shoulder two burdens: One is coping with the ravages of the disease; the second is con-tending with the public’s lack of awareness of the

illness and often the ig-norance of the medical profession in dealing with it.

NORD was found-ed to assist this enor-mous but neglected popula-

tion of ill people. The organization doesn’t diagnose illnesses, but it directs people with rare disorders to facilities and associations they don’t know exist. People can contact NORD at 800-999-NORD or online at www.rarediseases.org.

NORD is a federation of dedicated people we can be truly proud of.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Is there any way to tell if your carotid artery is blocked? Lately, the left side of my head feels somewhat numb, and the left side of my throat is dry. – T.S.

The right and left ca-rotid arteries, located in the neck, supply blood to the right and left sides of the brain. A blockage of either brings on a stroke. Carotid artery blockages ought to be detected be-fore a stroke occurs and part of the brain is lost.

Some symptoms sug-gest carotid artery block-age: peculiar sensations on the face or body, weak-ness, dizzy spells, being at a loss for words and visual disturbances. Usu-ally those things last only

for a short time. They serve as warning signs. Ultrasound exams of the arteries are one way of determining blockages.

The more or less per-manent numbness you feel and the dryness of thethroat aren’t stroke symp-toms. Only a doctor’s hands-on exam will dis-close what’s going on.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My husband used to weigh 165 pounds. He now weighs 100 pounds. He is 84. He has had triplebypass surgery, aortic aneurysm surgery and grafts to his leg arteries. He eats well. He takes Boost. What can I give him so that he’ll gain weight? Doctors say to feed him more. That’s impossible. – W.D.

If your husband is eating well but losing weight, something must be interfering with his food absorption. I’d get the opinion of a gastroen-terologist for this.

If nothing is found, then the only way to put on weight is through an increase of calories. Calorie-dense snacks might turn the corner for him. A handful of nuts, about an ounce, has 185 calories. Two tablespoons of peanut butter has 190 calories. A cup of ice cream at bedtime adds 300calories. Maybe he would tolerate another can of Boost. That would give him an extra 240 calories.

Your husband has had more than his share of trouble.

The drums of Bountourabi

Robin Leftwich fi ndsWest African drum musicto be good for the soul

BY JIMMY TOMLINENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H IGH POINT – For more than a quarter-century, Robin Leftwich has been learn-

ing the secrets of drumming, but she’s not much for keeping a secret.

“My belief is that this isn’t a secret to be kept, but a tradition to be shared,” she says.

Leftwich, of High Point, shares the tradition not only by perform-ing, but also by teaching drum classes, such as the series of four classes that will begin tonight at the YWCA of High Point. Those classes will focus on West African drumming, which has become Leftwich’s specialty during the past 10 years or so.

Specifi cally, Leftwich will be teaching the art of the West Afri-can hand drum, which is called a djembe (pronounced “JIM-bay”). Students will learn traditional West African rhythms and basic drumming techniques, as well as the cultural and historical back-ground of the music.

“I’ve traveled to Guinea, West Africa, several times to study the culture and the music and the history, and I’ve brought it back with me to use in my teaching,” Leftwich says. “I try to be as ac-curate as possible – not just about the music, but also about the culture and the history and the people, and the importance of the music to the people.”

Leftwich is a personal stu-dent of Fode Moussa Camara – an internationally renowned

drummer from Guinea – and has studied with Gbassikolo, an acclaimed performance group there. She even has an indigenous name when she travels to Guinea – Bountourabi, which means “angel” in Sousou, the language spoken in Guinea.

“They don’t even call me Robin there – they just call me Boun-tourabi,” she says.

In addition to playing and teaching, Leftwich has also estab-lished herself as an accomplished drum-builder, something else she learned during her trips to Guinea.

According to Leftwich, drum-ming offers a number of docu-mented health benefi ts, the most notable being the reduction of stress, which leads to better health in general. Studies have even indicated that group drum-ming signifi cantly increases the disease-fi ghting activity of circulating white blood cells that destroy cancer cells.

Playing the djembe also helps

INTERESTED?----A West African drum class, taught by Robin “Bountoura-bi” Leftwich, will be offered Wednesdays, tonight through June 23, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the YWCA of High Point, 112 Gatewood Ave.

The cost is $50 for all four ses-sions or $15 per drop-in class.

For more information, call the YWCA at 882-4126.

SPECIAL | HPE

Robin Leftwich will teach a class in West African drum music on Wednesdays, beginning tonight, at the YWCA.

to increase your sense of rhythm, your right-left brain and eye-hand coordination, and gives you a creative outlet for expressing yourself, Leftwich adds.

Group drumming also tends to develop a sense of community, she says.

“This drumming doesn’t exist as performer and audience – this music is for a community that ex-ists together,” Leftwich explains. “Whenever it’s being taught or played, you blur the lines between audience and performer and fi nd that you can create a community.”

All skill levels are welcome for

Leftwich’s classes at the YWCA, and it’s not necessary to sign up for all four classes.

“If you drop in for one class, that’s fi ne,” she says. “But if you come all four weeks, each class will build into something a little more developed the next time.”

Leftwich encourages newcom-ers to give her class a try and says they won’t be disappointed.

“I joke that it fi res off the happy endorphins,” she says. “It makes you feel good, and you’re sharing the experience with other people.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get together with someone who shares your views and is just as innovative and imaginative as you. Prepara-tion will be the key to your success. An emo-tional encounter may be costly but the lesson you learn will prepare you for future involve-ments. ★★★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone you are close to is likely to keep an emotional mat-ter a secret, leaving you in a compromising po-sition. If something doesn’t make sense, take a pass. A love relationship will be enhanced if you share your thoughts, feelings and inten-tions. ★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be enticed by the unusual and gravitate toward adventure and new destinations. You will enjoy interacting with people from different backgrounds, sharing your thoughts and opin-ions. You will be motivated to try something new. ★★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let your emotions rule your credit cards. Just because someone you love wants something doesn’t mean you should run out and buy it. Love is highlighted but all you need to do is to spend time with the person you care for. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your time, money and effort into your home. You need a change that will help you discover your true potential. Take a correspondence course or research information about a new skill -- all will be conducive to improving your life. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will have a hidden agenda or you will be dealing with someone with ulterior motives. Whichever the case, be careful not to jump into something un-der false pretenses. Love is on the rise but don’t lower your standards or get involved in things you don’t agree with. ★★★

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

When I watched today’s deal, South was Joe Over-berry, who plays every contract for the maxi-mum – and many for the minimum. He thinks it’s nobler to go down in pur-suit of an overtrick than to make his bid.

Joe and his partner had an easy auction to 3NT, and the play should have been no less easy. But when West led a spade, Joe saw a chance for two over-tricks: He played dummy’s jack, expecting it to win.

When East’s queen covered, Joe fl inched but stayed true to form by taking the ace, leading a diamond to dummy and returning a club to his jack. West produced the queen and exited with a spade to dummy, and Joe went down two.

NINE TRICKSJoe couldn’t salvage his

contract by refusing the fi rst trick. Then the de-fense could get a spade, a club and three hearts. To assure nine tricks, Joe must win the fi rst spade with the king, preserving an entry to his hand.

Joe loses the club fi -nesse next, but unless West fi nds a heart shift, Joe will make an over-trick after all.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S 9 7 6 4 2 H

A 8 3 D J 9 C Q 6 3. Your partner opens one dia-mond, you respond one spade, he bids two clubs and you return to two diamonds. Partner then bids two spades. What do you say?

ANSWER: If partner weren’t interested in game, he’d have passed two diamonds; if he held A K 3, 2, A 10 7 6 5, J 8 4 2, he’d have raised spades directly. Since he has ex-tra strength, and you have three useful honors and a fi ve-card suit, bid three spades to try for game.

WHO’S NEWS---

High Point University head basketball coach Scott Cherry has hired Brian Reese, one of his team-mates from the 1993 University of North Carolina national cham-pionship squad, as an assistant coach.

“I know on the basketball side of it, he can really help our players develop,” Cherry said. “With his professional expe-rience, he will be able to teach our players the things they need to do to be successful at the next level.

“He’ll be very involved in re-cruiting and his ties to the New York City area and up and down the East Coast will bring us an added dimension,” Cherry added.

After graduat-ing from North Carolina, Reese spent the summer and preseason with the Milwau-kee Bucks. He played profession-ally in Austria, Belgium, the Do-minican Republic, England, Finland, Iceland, France, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Puerto Rico. Reese joins the Panthers after one season as an assistant coach at Wingate, where he helped the Bulldogs improve to 14-14. Prior to that, Reese spent one season as the head coach of varsity boys basketball at South Iredell High School and two seasons as JV head coach and varsity assistant at Porter Ridge High School in Indian Trail.

E xpect plenty of excitement when the NBA Finals tip off on Thursday night.

Just don’t expect the series to go the full seven games.

A look back at the past 20 NBA Finals reveals that only two went to the limit – the Spurs downed the Pistons 4-3 in 2005 and the Rockets outlasted the Knicks 4-3 in 1994.

Granted, there have been some memorable six-game Finals. Five of the Jordan-led Bulls six NBA crowns came in six-game champion-

ship series and the Celtics topped the Lakers in six a couple years back.

Since 1989, nine NBA Finals were decided in six games.

The rest of the breakdown fi nds fi ve series that lasted fi ve games plus four series that resulted in four-game sweeps.

For the record, 16 NBA Finals have gone seven games in league history.

That’s a pretty low number considering the NBA Finals have been contested 62

times entering the 2009-10 season.And while we’re dusting off the NBA re-

cord book, the Philadelphia Warriors defeat-ed the Chicago Stags in fi ve games to capture the fi rst league championship in 1947.

Hope you enjoyed this brief stroll down NBA memory lane. Maybe this year’s NBA Finals will prove worthy of the record books.

HIT AND RUN---

BY GREER SMITHENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Format for the men’s basketball tour-nament is expected to be discussed but no formal proposal to change it is on the agenda of the Big South Conference meet-ings set for today and Thursday at High Point University.

League assistant com-missioner for public rela-tions Mark Simpson said the docket includes hear-ing reports on this past season’s men’s and wom-en’s tournaments and that discussion on the men’s tournament format is to be part of that.

Under the current for-mat, fi rst-round games are played at the four best seeds. The semifi nals are at the No. 1 seed, with the fi nals at the highest remaining seed. The top eight fi nishers among nine eligible teams qual-ify for the tourney. Pres-byterian is not eligible until 2011-12 because it is making a transition from Division II.

“We were asked to get feedback on possible neu-tral sites,” Simpson said. “The administrators will go over the data that has been collected and will de-termine which format is the best.”

Simpson said no vote is

needed to keep the same format if there is no pro-posal to change it. If there is a decision to change to a neutral site, he said the league would have to move quickly to get bids from interested venues.

High Point University coach Scott Cherry said last month that a neutral site would eliminate trav-el for some teams, but that he understands the need to have the fi nals at the best remaining seed.

“Because the fi nals are on ESPN, the league needs to project the best image that it can,” Cherry said. “And if you play all the games at say, Charleston, and the two teams in the

fi nals are Liberty and Rad-ford, then you are likely not to have a good crowd, and that doesn’t look good for the league.”

Under the current for-mat, a lower seeded team could play at three differ-ent locations HPU, which was seeded fi fth, was elim-inated in a fi rst-round game at UNC Asheville this past season.

“It didn’t have the atmo-sphere that you get at a neutral site,” Cherry said. “It was like another road game for us. It didn’t have a tournament feel.”

The rest of the agenda was described by Simp-son as housekeeping is-sues. The meetings will

conclude with a banquet Thursday night at High Point Country Club’s Emerywood facility for the announcement of the league’s award winners and induction of six peo-ple into the Big South hall of fame.

The inductees are Jim Gardas of Charleston Southern (golf), Catherine Conder of Coastal Caroli-na (cross country/track), Guy Norcott of Coastal Carolina (soccer), Dr. Ron Bradley of Radford (bas-ketball), Josh Pittman of UNC Asheville (basket-ball) and Kevin Pendley of Winthrop (golf).


Panthers host Big South meetings

N ate Roberts grew up in northern Illi-nois, closer to Wisconsin than Wrigley Field, but still close enough to the

Windy City to latch on to Chicago’s lovable losers.

He’s a little more open-mind-ed nowadays when it comes to major league teams. As for his friends...

“I don’t care who drafts me, but if the Cubs draft me it would make all my friends happy,” Roberts said. “I was telling one of my buddies the Cardinals were talking to me, too. He said, ‘If you go to the Cardinals, I’ll kill you.’

“We don’t like the Cardinals much, but I would love to

play for the Cardinals,” Roberts added with a smile. “I’m more of a ‘baseball’ fan these days, so if I get an opportunity I don’t care where it is.”

Roberts almost certainly will get a chance to play professional baseball after the num-bers he put up at High Point University. The junior outfi elder capped a remarkable season last week with Big South Conference Player of the Year honors, becoming only the second Panther ever – after Mark Shorey in 2006 – to capture the league’s top honor.

While Coastal Carolina went 25-0 in confer-ence games with its galaxy of stars, no one put on a better all-around show than Roberts. The 6-foot, 201-pound left-handed batter led the Panthers with a .416 batting average and set HPU single-season records for runs scored (88), on-base percentage (.573) and hit-by-pitch (25).

Roberts clubbed three home runs in a game against Towson on March 5, part of a cam-paign that included 19 long balls and 69 RBIs. And for all those power numbers, Roberts also blazed a trail on the base paths with 36 steals in 39 attempts.

“When we saw him swing the bat in the fall we felt he had a chance be a very special player,” Panthers head coach Craig Cozart said. “We knew he was putting together a season you don’t see very often. Fortunately we had very good players around him, so he got pitches to hit.”

Roberts’ success sparked High Point to a 31-29 record, its best ever in the NCAA Divi-sion I ranks. And while hopes are high in the program for the coming years, the Panthers could be moving on without Roberts.

The Spring Grove, Ill., native began his col-lege career in the Big Ten at Northwestern, where he started 46 games and batted .311. He left the Wildcats, though, and spent a year at Parkland College in Champaign, Ill.

All he did there was lead the Cobras to the National Junior College Athletic Association

Division II championship, setting the NJ-CAA World Series record with a .710 batting average.

Clearly, Roberts had options for his junior season. He mulled offers from schools such as Eastern Illinois, Eastern Kentucky and Eastern Michigan before getting serious about heading east – all the way to North Carolina.

HPU assistant Rich Wallace was on a trip to check out one player and ended up seeing Roberts starring for Parkland instead. He sent back some fi lm, assistant Bryan Peters arranged a visit and Roberts got his fi rst taste of High Point.

“It was kind of random. I had never heard of High Point,” Roberts said. “It was pretty amazing here. I didn’t expect anything like this. It’s beautiful. After talking to the coaches, taking the campus tour, this was where I wanted to come. It was a pretty easy decision.”

The choice to keep playing college baseball last summer was made easier when Roberts’ name fell all the way to the Tampa Bay Rays in the 48th round of major league baseball’s fi rst-year player draft.

This decision could prove more diffi cult. Roberts was slated to play with the Luray Wranglers in Virginia’s Valley League this

summer, but returned home Monday to work out and await the draft. Picks will be made June 7-9.

“There’s a good chance I’ll get drafted. I’ve talked to a lot of teams, but you never know,” Roberts offered. “They could tell you one thing and another thing happens. My experi-ence last year getting drafted, it taught me to just keep an open mind.”

Besides, returning to HPU isn’t all that unattractive a fallback.

“I have no problem going back to High Point,” Roberts said. “Give me something fair enough, or I would love to come back here for my senior year.”

For his part, Cozart obviously would love to pencil Roberts into the middle of the 2011 lineup, but knows “you can’t worry about something you can’t control.” And that’s the major league draft in a nutshell.

“Draft-wise, we hope he gets drafted in a high round, gets paid well, and it’s a no-brainer for him to start his pro career,” Co-zart said. “At the other end of the spectrum, if not, I hope it’s an easy decision for him to come back to school.”

Stay or leave, Roberts already left quite a mark in the Panther record books.

PARIS (AP) — There will be a Grand Slam semifi nal without Roger Federer for the fi rst time in six years.

French Open upset spe-cialist Robin Soderling struck again Tuesday, rallying past defending champion Federer in a rainy quarterfi nal, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4. That ended Federer’s record streak of reaching the semifi nals in 23 consecutive major events.

The shocker was the sec-ond pulled off by Soder-ling in as many years at Roland Garros. He ended the reign of four-time champion Rafael Nadal in the fourth round a year ago, clearing the path for Federer to win his fi rst French Open title and complete a career Grand Slam.

Federer beat Soderling in last year’s fi nal. Before Tuesday, Federer was 12-0 against the big-swing-ing Swede, winning 28 of their 30 sets.

But Soderling’s recent improvement was evident as he controlled rallies from the baseline with his thunderous strokes. Federer found himself on the defensive and unable to move forward.

“I’m disappointed to a

certain degree,” Federer said. “I didn’t think I played a bad match. He came up with some great tennis. It’s much easier to digest this way.”

Seeded fi fth, Soderling saved a set point in the third when he won a fran-tic rally, then won the set to take the lead for good shortly after a rain delay

of 75 minutes.“It cannot be much bet-

ter,” Soderling told the crowd after his latest cen-ter-court stunner. “It’s great to play on this court. It’s for sure my favorite Grand Slam.”

Soderling’s the only player other than Nadal to beat Federer at Roland Garros since 2004.

Federer’s semifi nal streak ends

MOORESVILLE (AP)— Red Bull Racing onTuesday swapped thecrew chiefs and keyteam members for driv-ers Scott Speed andCasey Mears, a movedesigned to try new per-sonnel pairings duringBrian Vickers’ absence.

Vickers will missthe rest of the seasonwhile undergoing treat-ment on blood clots inhis lungs and legs, andMears has been fi llingin for him in the No. 83Toyota.

The swap comes twodays after Mears andSpeed fi nished 29th and30th in the Coca-Cola600, and it reunitesMears with crew chiefJimmy Elledge. The twowere paired togetherwhen both worked forChip Ganassi Racing.

“The whole goal is todo the best job we canuntil Brian returns,”said Mears, who hasfi nished 22nd and 29thin two starts as Vickers’replacement. “It doesmake some sense if youlook at it from Jimmyand I having alreadyworked together. It’sgoing to speed up thatprocess. Having workedtogether before, it’ll bestrictly what can we doto get this car to go fast-er, instead of trying tolearn how to work witheach other.”

Ryan Pemberton,crew chief for Vickers’team since the start ofthe 2009 season, willbegin working withSpeed this weekend atPocono.

Vickers, who won onerace last season andmade the Chase for theSprint Cup champion-ship, was 20th in pointsbefore he was sidelinedwith blood clots.

Speed is currently26th in the standings.

Defending champion Roger Federer reacts as he falls behind plays Robin Soderling during their quarterfi nal match of the French Open at the Roland Garros stadium in Paris on Tuesday. Federer failed to reach the semifi nals of a Grand Slam event for the fi rst time in six years.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A slimmed-down Ben Roethlisberger whistled practice passes to his re-ceivers for the fi rst time in fi ve weeks, and a team-mate didn’t need to watch video tape to know what he’d just seen.

“He’s been working hard at home,” defensive end Brett Keisel said. “He wants to be great this year. So, hopefully, he will (be).”

Even if considerable re-pair work needs to be done, on the fi eld and off it.

The two-time Super Bowl champion quarter-back didn’t talk to report-ers after practicing Tues-day for the fi rst time since drawing a six-game sus-pension April 21 for vio-lating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — At some point this postseason, it would have seemed prepos-terous the Blackhawks would have more wins in the Stanley Cup fi nal than Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have points combined.

Yet, that’s the reality for Chicago after win-ning the fi rst two games at home.

Toews and Kane have been noticeably missing on the scoresheet.

Not a point, not an as-sist.

Their sticks have barely touched the puck, reducing Chicago’s star forwards to jumping in the celebration pile and not igniting one.

In a series where goal-ie Antti Niemi and a roll call list of scorers have put the Blackhawks ahead of the Philadel-phia Flyers 2-0, Toews

and Kane have yet to play a major role in help-ing Chicago try and win the Stanley Cup for the fi rst time since 1961.

“It’s not always the top line that gets it done as far as goal scoring,” Chi-cago coach Joel Quenn-eville said Tuesday. “By committee, by team, there’s a lot of different areas. Defense can even complement scoring as well.”

True, but having the pair take over a game or two in hostile Phila-delphia can ease some of the offensive burden of others not used to be-ing counted on to score. Kane scored 30 goals and had 88 points this sea-son; Toews had 25 goals and 68 points in leading the Blackhawks revival from one-time doormat to the second-best record in the Western Confer-ence.

Blackhawks overcome struggles of duo

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Phil Jackson knows the story by heart, even if his players only seem interested in the last two chapters.

Their coach is steeped in the history of pro basketball’s most compelling rivalry, familiar with every twist in the Boston Celtics’ half-century of champi-onship clashes with the Los An-geles Lakers. The NBA’s most decorated franchises have bat-tled through heartbreaks, high stakes and neck-aches while forging a true pro sports rivalry, that rarest of commodities in the age of free agency.

Jackson doesn’t mind that almost everybody playing in the franchises’ 12th NBA fi nals meeting, starting Thursday night at Staples Center, doesn’t

have much of a grasp on the his-tory sewn into the uniforms they wear.

So what if Ron Artest claims total ignorance of the Lakers’

past, while Kobe Bryant says he couldn’t care less who Los Ange-les played? So what if the deep-seated hatred between the fran-chises’ fans doesn’t seem to be truly savored by nearly anybody except Paul Pierce, the Los An-geles native turned Celtics star?

When asked why the kids these days just don’t get it, Jackson smirks and nimbly sidesteps the trap set for grumpy old men and history buffs.

“That rivalry is renewed ... it seems like every 20 years, and now here it is,” Jackson said. “This is our second time going back at them. It’s one that I think

piques the interest of the fans ofbasketball.”

Notice he didn’t mention theplayers’ interest. In the age ofeasy team-swapping, $100 mil-lion contracts and offseasonVegas partying with bitter in-season opponents, there’s notmuch actual malice to be foundbetween these Lakers and theseCeltics.

“It’s not a personal thing,”Celtics forward Kevin Garnettsaid before the Celtics practicedat UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion onTuesday. “They’re a great team,we’re a great team. We’re bothtrying to get to the same goal.”

NEW YORK — Miguel Tejada’s two-out, two-run throwing error al-lowed Javier Vazquez to win a stellar match-up with Brian Matusz, and the New York Yan-kees beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 Tuesday night.

MOTORSPORTS, SOCCER

MOORESVILLE. (AP) — Kyle Busch shut down one of his fi nancially strapped Truck Series teams Tuesday after driver Tayler Malsam accepted a promotion to the Nationwide Series.

Malsam will drive the No. 10 Toyota for Braun Racing starting Saturday at Nashville. Kyle Busch Motorsports an-nounced it will no longer enter the No. 56 Toyota, which doesn’t have a full-time sponsor, in the Truck Series the rest of the season.

Malsam is the second KBM driver to leave for the Nationwide Series in a month.

Brian Ickler, who had been splitting time with Busch in the No. 18 truck, ac-cepted a job with Roush Fenway Rac-ing.

“The same situation occurred with Tayler,” Busch said in a statement. “Braun offered him a chance to move up to the Nationwide Series and we have no reason to hold him back. He’s a driver, like Brian, who absorbed a lot of knowledge from myself, (competi-tion director) Rick Ren and the rest of the guys at KBM. We support him all the way.”

Shutting down the No. 56 team will lessen the fi nancial load for Sprint Cup star Busch, whose foray into own-ership this year has been plagued by sponsorship woes.

He acknowledged last month that he was funding the two teams mostly out of his own pocket.

KBM will continue to fi eld the No. 18 truck, which is tops in the owners’ standings. Busch will drive it in some races.

The rest of the driver schedule is still being determined after Ickler’s depar-ture.

Veteran Johnny Benson will drive the truck Friday at Texas while Busch is at Pocono Raceway for Cup race.

The 21-year-old Malsam fi nished no better than 13th in seven Truck Series races this year and was 11th in the points standings. Malsam will replace Jason Leffl er in the No. 10 Nationwide car, while Leffl er returns to Braun’s No. 38.

IRENE, South Africa (AP) — The slogan on the side of the bus reads “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Victory!” with the Stars and Stripes painted alongside.

The U.S. World Cup team is making itself at home in South Africa, ready at last to play the games that matter most.

The Americans are staying in the 74-room Irene Country Lodge, a luxury hotel north of Johannesburg and south of Pretoria protected by stone walls and barbed wire. There’s a lake on the prop-erty, with an adjacent farm fi lled with cows and enough

roosters to make alarm clocks superfl uous.

“It’s been a long time,” cap-tain Carlos Bocanegra said Tuesday in the interview tent, pitched on the dairy farm. “Now it’s fi nally here. We’re in South Africa. So we’re excited for the games to start. It feels real now that we’re down here in South Africa and we’re set up at our hotel and you see all the World Cup fanfare.”

The 23-man roster and about an equal number of coaches and support staff left Washington-Dulles Inter-national Airport on Sunday evening and arrived 17 hours

later to a warm welcome. Af-ter a night of rest, practiceresumed Tuesday ahead ofthe U.S. team’s World Cupopener against England onJune 12.

“The travel seemed quiteeasy. Maybe we’re used toit by now,” U.S. coach BobBradley said.

Practice is not too faraway in Pretoria’s PilditchStadium, a lush green fi eldsurrounded by an eight-lanerunning track with about5,000 seats on one side. Bermstopped with palm trees wrapthe other segments of thefi eld and the leaves are start-ing to fade to brown.

INDY UPDATE–INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — IndyCar driv-

er Ryan Hunter-Reay has had success-ful surgery on his left thumb and is being fi tted for a carbon-fi ber splint that will allow him to race Saturday at Texas.

The American has won one race this season and his deal with Andretti Au-tosport is to expire after Saturday’s race. He is the only driver to reach Vic-tory Lane not driving for Roger Penske or Chip Ganassi.

Hunter-Reay hurt the thumb on pit row during Sunday’s Indianapolis 500. He also was involved in the frighten-ing crash with Mike Conway on Lap 199, but was not injured in that col-lision.

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing has not said who will replace Conway in the No. 24 car. He is expected to miss at least three months with leg and back injuries.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The economic recovery gained strength on the big-gest rise in construction spending in nearly a decade and the 10th straight month of expansion for the manu-facturing sector.

Temporary government incentives fueled most of the construction spending increases in April. Industry spending rose 2.7 percent with gains in all major sec-tors, the Commerce Depart-ment said Tuesday.

In a separate report Tues-day, the Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives, said its manufacturing in-dex dipped slightly in May from a nearly six-year high in April. But the 59.7 read-ing for May was well above the 50 level that indicates expansion.

Export orders rose last

month despite the debt cri-sis in Europe that threatens to spread.

“The European fi scal cri-sis doesn’t appear to have harmed the prospects of U.S. manufacturers, at least not yet,” wrote Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist with Capital Economics.

The news was welcomed on Wall Street. Stocks erased early losses after the two reports signaled a lift in the economic re-covery. The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 40 points in midday trading after sliding in early trading.

Construction spending was boosted by a homebuy-er tax credit, which helped residential construction surge 4.4 percent in April. The tax credit expired at the end of April.

Government spending

also rose on the strength of federal support. The 2.4 per-cent increase was aided by the economic stimulus pro-gram that Congress passed in February 2009. State and local spending jumped 2.3 percent and federal spend-ing rose 2.9 percent.

The other major sector, nonresidential construc-tion, climbed 1.7 percent. That marked the fi rst ad-vance in this category since March 2009. The strength in April came from gains in private sector work on com-munications projects and power generation facilities. Construction of offi ce build-ings and the category that includes shopping centers fell in April.

Commercial building projects have suffered in the weak economy through rising loan de-faults and tighter credit.

Building, manufacturing bolster economy

LONDON (AP) – Shares in BP PLC plummeted on Tuesday, wiping billions off the British company’s market value, after the failure of its latest attempt to stop the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Speculation about the London-based company’s future mounted as the share rout – taking the stock to its lowest level in more than a year – was compounded by BP’s rev-elation that its costs relat-ing to the accident are ap-proaching $1 billion.

Some analysts believe that BP’s stock will re-bound if renewed efforts to contain the spread of oil from the broken Deep-water Horizon well are successful, but others suggest that the company could become a takeover target.

“This situation has now gone far beyond concerns

of BP’s chief executive Tony Hayward being fi red, or shareholder divi-dend payouts being cut – it’s got the real smell of death,” said Dougie Youngson, oil analyst at Arbuthnot.

“Given the collapse in the share price and the potential for it to fall fur-ther, we expect that it could become a takeover target, particularly if its operating position in the U.S. becomes untenable,” he added.

BP shares closed down 13 percent at 429.9 pence ($6.31) on the London Stock Exchange on Tues-day – making it the big-gest faller on the exchange on the fi rst day of trading since the company’s un-successful attempts at a “top kill” operation, shoot-ing mud and other debris into the leaking well, over the weekend.

BP shares drop in Europe

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal safety regulators are investigating a small number of reports of gas pedals becoming trapped by fl oor mats in 2010 Ford Fusions and Mercury Mi-lans.

The National Highway Traffi c Safety Administra-tion said it has received three such complaints involving unsecured all weather fl oor mats. There are no reports of crashes or injuries because of the problem.

But it is similar to Toy-ota’s problems with fl oor mats that led to the recall of more than 5 million ve-

hicles worldwide. In those cases, drivers said their vehicles sped up when ped-als became lodged under all-weather mats that were stacked on top of the fl oor mats.

To solve the problem, Toyota shortened its gas pedals and took out some of the carpet padding below the pedal.

Safety offi cials said the investigation covers about 250,000 Fusions and Milans. The preliminary investiga-tion, opened on Friday, is meant to determine wheth-er the complaints have merit and the seriousness of any potential problems.

NEW YORK (AP) –Stocks took another late-day dive Tuesday after thegovernment said it wasstarting criminal and civilinvestigations into theGulf of Mexico oil spill.

The Dow Jones industri-al average dropped almost113 points. Its plunge cameshortly before the closeand minutes after Attor-ney General Eric Holdermade the announcement.

Stocks in energy com-panies and oil serviceproviders tumbled on thenews, and other stocksfollowed.

BP PLC, which oper-ated the rig that causedthe spill, fell almost 15percent. Anadarko Petro-leum Corp., which has astake in the rig that ex-ploded, tumbled nearly 20percent. Oil services com-pany Halliburton Inc. fellalmost 15 percent.

Tuesday’s announce-ment raised the possibil-ity that oil companiesmight have to pay outhuge amounts in fi nes, orsee their operations ham-pered by a government in-vestigation.

“Right now it’s head-line risk that’s killing usin this market,” said KenKamen, president of Mer-cadien Asset Managementin Hamilton, N.J.

Trading was choppy formuch of the day beforeHolder’s announcement,a sign that investorsweren’t sure where to puttheir money.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tip-per, are separating after 40 years of marriage that included a White House run when their sunny re-lationship offered a coun-terpoint to President Bill Clinton’s philandering.

According to an e-mail circulated among the cou-ple’s associates on Tues-day, the Gores said it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consider-ation.”

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confi rmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further.

The Gores were telling friends they “grew apart” after 40 years of marriage and there was no affair in-volved, according to two longtime close associates and family friends, who

spoke on the condition of anonymity because it was a personal matter.

The associates said the Gores, over time, had carved out separate lives, with the former

vice president on the road frequently. One of the as-sociates said: “Their lives had gotten more and more separated.”

The Gores, who were married on May 19, 1970, at

the National Cathedral in Washington, crafted an im-age as a happily married couple during his eight-year stint as vice president in the 1990s and a presiden-tial candidate in 2000.

Gores to separate after 40 years

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Authorities say a quirk in Mexican law is delaying extradition proceedings for a TV producer being sought in his wife’s death at a posh Cancun resort.

“Survivor” producer Bruce Beresford-Red-man said he returned to Los Angeles after leaving Mexico without his pass-port last month. Authori-ties said the extradition process requires a search of Mexico to determine a suspect is not there.

Quirk in law slows producer’s

extraditionCHICAGO (AP) – An

apologetic Sarah Fergu-son told Oprah Winfrey that even though she is in deep fi nancial debt, her offer to sell access to her former husband, Prince Andrew, for $724,000 be-gan as an effort to raise money for a friend.

The Duchess of York said in an interview that aired Tuesday on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she only asked for so much money after the undercover journalist posing as a businessman

gave her $40,000 for a friend, whom she would not identify.

“I just took a long shot ... I

think I just went, ‘Well, if you’re going for 40 (thou-sand dollars), well, OK, if you want to do business in the future,’ ” she said, trying to explain, before, admitting that she didn’t know what she was thinking.
