Events will produce big tourism weekend BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – It won’t quite rival the High Point Market, but two sportingrelated tourism events this coming weekend will bring about 18,000 people to the city and could mean more than $3 million for the local economy. High Point will host the annual Piedmont Soccer Alliance Furniture City Classic youth tournament and the inaugural Winston-Salem State University Furniture City Gridiron Classic football game. The soccer tournament,

based out of the Phillips Park Soccer Complex, is expected to draw 8,000 people and have an estimated economic impact of up to $1.8 million, according to the High Point Convention & Visitors Bureau. The tournament, which is marking its 25th anniversary this year, is considered a three-day event by the CVB, starting Friday and concluding Sunday. The football game between Winston-Salem State and Virginia Union University will take place Saturday night at Simeon Stadium, though there will be activities at and outside

the stadium Saturday afternoon leading up to kickoff at 7:30 p.m. The football game is expected to draw 10,000 people, with a oneday estimated economic impact of up to $1.5 million, according to the CVB. “This will be one of the largest tourism weekends,” said CVB Sales Manager Marva Wells. The convergence of the two major events will produce one of the biggest tourism weekends this year other than the spring and fall furniture markets. The soccer tournament and football game not only will provide opportu-

Educators set goals for the new year. 2A More first-day photos. 4B BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Avoiding long traffic lines that are typical on the first day of school, Keith Hedgecock was one of the first parents to drop off his child Wednesday at Friendship Elementary. “I kind of miss her,” said Hedgecock, as his 6-year-old daughter Tori walked from the parking lot to the school. “Me and her have been together all summer hanging out. She’s looking forward to it.” While some parents were sad as their children returned to school, teachers and principals said they were excited about the first day of classes. School officials from Davidson, Randolph, Guilford and Thomasville systems reported a smooth first day. “(Teachers) are upbeat,” Friendship Principal Christa DiBonaventura said. “They are ready to roll.” As children arrived at Hasty Elementary, Kimberly Money, the school’s assistant principal, made sure students got to the right classes. “It’s been great,” Money said. “The morale has been very uplifting and everybody is excited.” The mood was similar at Thomasville Primary School, where Principal Paula Gaylord

Denise Richmond, principal of the new Jamestown Middle, said she ‘couldn’t have asked for a better start.’

Jeff Kirkland, chairman of the Thomasville Board of Education, visited Thomasville Primary Wednesday morning. He said the visit was important because teachers need to see the “connection with the school board.” “Everything is actually running smoother than I actually had anticipated,” Kirkland said. “The kids are bright and energetic this morning. A lot of parents are out with smiling faces. The teachers are really doing a great job interacting in every single classroom that I go in.” Trindale Elementary Principal Terry Burgin described the first day of classes for her school as “just another day.” She said her school “didn’t even have a parent rush.” Randolph County Schools Superintendent Donald Andrews visited John Lawrence Elementary and Trindale Elementary. He said school officials toured all of the 31 schools in Randolph County on Wednesday. “Everything looks great,” Andrews said.

Housing, lending see bright spots amid downturn Before you read...

Fifth in a seven-part series.

HARD TIMES BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Rebuilding the housing market is similar to building a house itself, according to real estate agent Ken Wall.

Living in the recession ■■■

It’s a brick-bybrick process. But the quick tumble that it took in 2008 hasn’t been an easy mess to clean up

thus far. Interest rates remain low and local home sales

and prices seem to be stabilizing. But Wall knows the housing market is still crawling out of an immense downturn that began in 2008. “I remember that time very well,” Wall said about the fourth quarter of 2008. “That’s when a lot of lenders started closing up shop.” It was subprime mortgage lenders, or lenders that offered loans to homebuyers with weak credit,

that were closing their doors. The loans, many with ballooning interest rates, had allowed families to purchase homes who otherwise wouldn’t be able to do so. But it turned out to be a dangerous way to fulfill the American dream as the payments eventually caught up with the homeowners. “It seemed like everything came to a grinding halt at one time,” said Wall,

broker at Providence Realty and president of the High Point Regional Association of Realtors. “I think it was part of the way the housing market reacted all across the board. Federal guidelines were tightening.” A whirlwind of events hit the housing market, including a lack of lenders, a negative whiplash from the subprime mortgage fiasco and

myriad job layoffs across the country that contributed to a wave of foreclosures. It was a scary time to be a real estate agent, and a busy time to be a lender. “It was a difficult time for agents and homebuyers,” Wall said. “We had a lot of people who thought they were about to own their home, but then they were told that their loans were not going to be funded. For a lot of agents, their closings that month were completely wiped out.” Three months later, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 offered a little piece of hope in the form of the first-time homebuyers tax credit. Local agents weren’t sure how much it would help, but Ed Terry, HPRAR executive president, said in August 2009 that 42 percent of home sales in High Point in the first six months of 2009 could be attributed to the credit. When its original deadline in November approached, it was extended to April and expanded to previous homeowners, which the agents praised. Year-to-year home sales inflated in March, April and May as the tax credit came to an end. But sales declined in June and July without its presence on the market. And real estate agents came to the realization that the tax credit served as a temporary catalyst to the market, but then left it to stand on its own. “That’s exactly what it was,” said Jeannene Poarch, a broker with Allen Tate Realtors in High Point. “It did us some good for a while.” And while sales have come back down from their high, there are positive signs, Wall said. The local home sale price shows signs of stabilization, increasing from $151,321 in June to $165,053 in July, according to data compiled by the Triad Multiple Listings Service. The TMLS also reported that a quarter of the homes sold in July were $200,000 or above. That category is one that didn’t see much activity when the homebuyer tax credit

was in effect, Wall said. It isn’t all good, and it isn’t all bad. Interest rates are low but restrictions are tight, and Wall said many of the lenders his company uses are only offering loans to buyers with credit scores above 600. “There are still a few that will look in the 580 range, but they will look at the overall credit file,” he said. “Sometimes it doesn’t make sense why your credit score is in a certain range, so if a file looks good, lenders will approve that person. But most won’t consider scores under 600.” “We have potential buyers who call us back all the time telling us they can’t get approved for a loan,” he added. But deals are available on the market in the form of foreclosures and short sells. State and community assistance programs, including High Point’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which offers funds for home improvements to buyers who are purchasing and refurbishing a foreclosed property in the city, have made a positive impact. The phones at Walls office are still ringing. It’s been a slow process, but brick by brick, a stable housing market is being rebuilt, he said.

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials will focus on several High Point area schools today as they review school improvement plans. Oak Hill Elementary Principal Patrice Faison is scheduled to outline turnaround strategies for the school. The Guilford County Board of Education extended Oak Hill’s school day by 45 minutes and academic year by 10 days to improve performance. The change is part of a three-year school reform plan financed by a $6 million federal grant. Overall, the grant money will provide additional funds to provide more support for teachers, students and parents. The school board will meet at 6 p.m. in the administrative offices in Greensboro. The district goal is to raise Oak Hill’s Adequate Yearly Progress score to 50 percent by the 2012-13 school year, partly by offering a

The plan also calls for seeking donations and support for the school and offering free GED classes and English-language classes through a partnership with Guilford Technical Community College. Although the district’s official low-performing list has been reduced to one school, Union Hill Elementary, school officials will focus on 10 “Priority One” schools that failed to meet expected growth standards on state tests. On the list are T.W. Andrews High

Police in Graham, about 60 miles west of Raleigh, are investigating how the body of 37-year-old Linda Walton was left unattended for so long. The hearse is owned by David B.

Paul Harris, executive director of the state Board of Funeral Service, declined to comment on the specifics of the case.

said. Police in Graham are still investigating, and haven’t decided yet whether charges will be filed, said Capt. Steve McGilvray. Criminal charges in the case are unlikely, said Alamance County District Attorney Pat Nadolski. “I don’t think there’s a statute on the books for what happened,” he said. “If there were, we would file charges.” North Carolina has a law against the desecration of corpses, but it only applies to bodies that have been buried, Nadolski said. Walton’s body was cremated after it was taken from the hearse, McGilvray said. She lived alone in an apartment in Carrboro, about 25 miles east of Graham, according to Capt. J.G. Booker of the Carrboro Police Department.

Warrants lay out charges in club investigation BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Court documents provide some insight into a recent drug investigation of a High Point business by state and local law enforcement officials. Four people were arrested and more than a pound of cocaine and other drugs were seized last week following a three-month undercover investigation by N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement agents and High Point police officers into Club Triangle at 1310 N. Main St. After getting complaints from the community, agents made multiple undercover cocaine purchases from the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

bar manager, Fredrick Reynolds Law II, authorities said. During the investigation, the case expanded to another suspect who allegedly sold cocaine to undercover agents. Arrest warrants lay out some of the details of the case against Christopher Allan Barnard, who was charged with trafficking and possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine. The warrants state Barnard, 29, was charged with possessing the drug on various occasions dating to June 10 in amounts that ranged from 200 to 400 grams, 339 grams and 888.79 grams. He also was charged with manufacturing cocaine for

allegedly combining powder cocaine with a cutting agent to increase the volume of the drug and using a formed press to package it for sale, according to the warrants. Agents raided Barnardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Red Cedar Lane apartment on Aug. 19 and seized cocaine and marijuana. Court records show he was jailed on bonds totaling $75,000 but has since been released on bond. Law, 30, of W. Lexington Avenue, was charged with two counts of trafficking cocaine, three counts each of possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine and selling and delivering cocaine, as well as allowing controlled substance

violations to occur on an ABC licensed business. Also charged was James Edward Tinsley, 32, of Clyde Street, with possession with intent to sell and deliver a controlled substance, trafficking in cocaine and manufacturing cocaine. Authorities said Jerry Allen Sexton, 57, of Lexington, the corporate officer for the business,

was cited for maintaining a commercial building for drugs and knowingly allowing drugs on the premises. In addition, Triangle Billiards and Blues Club Inc., the corporation that operates the business, was cited for trafficking in cocaine, maintaining a building for drugs and for letting its manager, em-

ployee or agent allow drug violations to occur. ALE officials said they will submit a report about the case to the N.C. ABC Commission, but it was unclear Wednesday whether any action had been taken regarding Club Triangleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alcohol permits. pkimbrough@hpe.com 888-3531

Afghan driver kills 3 Spaniards in base shooting KABUL, Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An Afghan driver working for Spanish police opened fire on a NATO base Wednesday, killing three Spaniards including two police trainers and an interpreter before dying in a hail of gunfire. Afghans angry at the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death stormed the base in northwestern Badghis province with stones and set fire to at least one vehicle, underscoring the brewing resentment among many Afghans over the presence of foreigners on their soil.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Koreans welcomed Jimmy Carter back to Pyongyang with smiles, salutes and hearty handshakes Wednesday as the former American president arrived on a mission to bring home a Boston man jailed in the communist country since January. U.S. officials have billed Cart-

erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip as a private humanitarian visit to try to negotiate the release of Aijalon Gomes, sentenced to eight years of hard labor in a North Korean Gomes prison for entering the country illegally from China.

However, visits like Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the journey ex-President Bill Clinton made a year ago to secure the release of two American journalists â&#x20AC;&#x201C; serve as more than just rescue missions.

The attacks made August the deadliest month for Iraqi policemen and soldiers in two years, and came a day after the U.S. declared the number of U.S. troops had fallen to fewer than 50,000. Powerful blasts targeting security forces struck where they are supposed to be the safest, turning police stations into rubble and bringing down concrete walls erected to protect them from insurgents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where is the protection, where are the security troops?â&#x20AC;? said Abu Mohammed, an eyewitness to a car bombing near Baghdadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adan Square that killed two passers-by.

Cartel suspected in massacre of 72 migrants MEXICO CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Mexican drug cartel massacred 72 Central and South American migrants within 100 miles of the U.S. border that they were trying to reach, according to an Ecuadorean survivor who escaped and stumbled wounded to a highway checkpoint where he alerted marines, official said Wednesday. The marines fought the cartel gunmen at a ranch in the northern state of Tamaulipas on Tuesday, a battle that left one marine and three suspects dead. They found the bodies of 58 men and 14 women in a room.

Author of CIA book kills self on accident SAVANNAH, Ga. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; To his wife and friends, Roland Haas was a patriotic hero who secretly risked his life for the U.S. government during the Cold War, yet critics denounced him as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;James Bond wannabeâ&#x20AC;? who fabricated a memoir claiming he had been a CIA assassin. Regardless of which version is true, police and Haasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family insist the gunshot that killed the 58-year-old author in west Georgia last weekend was an accident, a fatal fluke without intrigue or any connection to his disputed past. Haas was found dead Saturday night behind his car at a roadside in Newnan, a quarter-mile from his home.

Man charged in NY shooting deaths of 4 BUFFALO, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A man who had been sought by police in a sidewalk shooting that killed four people including a Texas man celebrating his wedding anniversary turned himself in Wednesday and was charged with murder. Riccardo McCray was charged with four counts of second-degree murder in the shooting outside a downtown restaurant, Mayor Byron Brown said in a news release. He was expected to be arraigned today. McCray, 23, surrendered Wednesday at a television studio.

As GOP war rages, Dems look to benefit Palin a central figure in tight Alaska Senate race

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Republican civil war is raging, with righterthan-thou conservatives dominating ever more primaries in a fight for the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soul. And the Democrats hope to benefit. The latest examples of conservative insurgentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clout came Tuesday at opposite ends of the country. In Florida, political newcomer Rick Scott beat longtime congressman and state Attorney General Bill McCollum for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. The GOP is likely to survive its bitter intraparty battles in such states as Alaska and Utah, even if voters oust veteran senators in both. But tea party-backed candidates might be a godsend to desperate Democrats elsewhere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Nevada, Florida and perhaps Kentucky, where the Democrats portray GOP nominees as too extreme for their states. If Murkowski joins Sen. Bob Bennett, RUtah, as a victim of party activists who demand ideological purity, other Republicans are still likely to win in November, though Minority Leader Mitch McCon-

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., left, waves to supporters at an election victory party with his wife Cindy McCain, Tuesday, in Phoenix. In McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest Republican election primary in years, he beat former congressman J.D. Hayworth, formerly of High Point. nell, R-Ky., would have to deal with more maverick members who are loathe to compromise. And the conservative insurgency is hardly all-powerful, as Sen. John McCain proved by easily winning renomination in Arizona despite a challenge from the right by High Point native J.D. Hayworth. The Republican Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief danger lies in battleground states such as Florida and Nevada, where great opportunities might slip away.

President Barack Obama and his Democrats see a silver lining amid political troubles driven by high unemployment and a stubbornly slow economic recovery. The White House has tried to link the Republican Party with the fledgling conservativelibertarian tea party coalition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and demonize the combination as too extreme for the country. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Republi-

can tea partyâ&#x20AC;? thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;offering more of the past but on steroidsâ&#x20AC;? and is â&#x20AC;&#x153;out of step with where the American people are,â&#x20AC;? Vice President Joe Biden told the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rank and file last week. Nevada Republicansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nomination of tea party favorite Sharron Angle may save Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader. His popularity has fallen sharply among state voters.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As Sen. Lisa Murkowski watched the shocking election returns come into her election headquarters on primary night, she became painfully aware of Murkowski two powerful forces in American politics in 2010: anti-government rage and Sarah Palin. The Republican senator trailed conservative lawyer Joe Miller by nearly 1,500 votes Wednesday, despite being heavily favored to defeat the lesser-known candidate in the GOP primary. She is hoping that several thousand uncounted absentee ballots can swing the election in her favor, and both sides were bracing for a long count to determine the winner. Regardless of the final outcome, the primary is an indication of the influence Palin wields in midterm elections.

Wal-Mart asks court to overturn ruling WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; WalMart Stores Inc. has asked the Supreme Court to throw out a massive class action lawsuit alleging gender discrimination over pay for female workers. Wal-Mart is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest private employer and could face billions of dollars in legal damages if the lawsuit is heard and it loses. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in April that Wal-Mart should face charges in court that it pays women less than men for the same jobs. The suit was first filed by six women in federal court in 2001.

Homeless man nabbed after fire burns homes ASHLAND, Ore. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Families looked for valuables, pets and mementoes Wednesday in the ashes of 11 homes destroyed by a fast-moving wildfire while a homeless man accused of starting the blaze sat in jail. John Thiry, 40, was arrested at 3 a.m. under a freeway ramp and arraigned on 10 counts of reckless endangerment and 14 counts of reckless burning, police said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homeless living in the interface in Ashland is a real problem and a huge concern,â&#x20AC;? said Gary Jones as he helped his daughter, Lisa Jones, look through the blackened waterlogged rubble that used to be her home.

STAN SPANGLE SR.: Veterans Affairs makes a pledge to nation’s warriors. TOMORROW

Media always put pit bulls in a bad light In response to the Enterprise letter of Aug. 16 regarding pit bulls (June Howard, “Why are people allowed to own pit bulls?”), I want to offer a different opinion. I have been enjoying dogs as pets since grammar school and am now a seasoned citizen. At one point, I raised St. Bernards. I bought the first dog and was given three more. Children wanted a “Beethoven” as in the movie, and then the family couldn’t keep them. One of my “lovable” St. Bernards bit several people that required stitches. Another example is the movie “101 Dalmatians” where the audience saw lovable puppies. Dalmatians are temperamental and don’t make a good pet for a child. Rotweilers, Dobermans and German Shepherds have a reputation as vicious. The German Shepherd I had could be protective, but wouldn’t hurt a flea. My son raised a pit bull from a puppy. He was an intelligent, loyal and well-behaved dog. When my son moved where he couldn’t’ keep the dog, mom took over and kept him until he succumbed to old age. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet. Dogs and children both respond to the way they are raised. Charles Manson’s mother sold him for a pitcher of beer. Pets and children raised in loving homes

become loving themselves. Pets left unattended on chains become vicious. Any dog so treated can become mean. Chows have a reputation for meanness. No one is outlawing them. A neighbor of mine has a yard full of pit bulls which he raises and sells. They bark in greeting and then wag their tails to welcome me. Don’t base your opinions on the media’s interpretation of pit bulls. They are in the business of selling papers and TV time. HARRIETT WALKER Sophia

Rid the SBI’s crime lab of wrongdoers The revelations about the SBI’s crime lab are truly disgusting. Everyone involved in wrongdoing should be fired and put in jail. Maybe our state should have two crime labs so that defense attorneys can have an equal chance. The idea of ‘’innocent until proven guilty’’ should mean something in our state. Of course, in North Carolina, suspects and defendants can have their DNA forcibly taken even though they haven’t been tried or convicted

of a crime. Apparently, in our state we are guilty until proven innocent. CHUCK MANN Greensboro

Quayle is back with his bird-brained brilliance Back at last; back at last. Thank God Almighty, Quayle’s back at last. Just some paraphrasing on the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous 1963 speech to express my excitement, exhilaration, expectations, etc. on the return of the one and only, the great San Quentin Quayle. This is my annual letter which is always written at the beginning of our area high school football season. The purpose of my letter is to extol the brilliance of the peerless, fearless, prep football forecasting genius and to officially welcome him back to our fair city. Since 1958 when Quayle began his forecasting career, I have been his strongest and most loyal fan. I have been writing my letter of praise for a long time. It’s really time for me to stop and let someone else take up the torch

so each year I say to myself, I say “Self, this is your last letter.” But then the Great Bird returns from his summer vacation bringing new, revolutionary ideas. Now, once again, I am forced to take up pen and paper. He returns this time with ideas to erase the massive national debt, ideas that are nothing short of brilliant. If only we could get the Capitol Gang to listen. However, that being a difficult thing to do, perhaps Quayle should consider throwing his red hat in the ring for the next presidential election. Think about it. For years, the presidency has been dominated by white males. Now we have seen women running and now we have an African-American in the high office. What would be wrong with a brilliant bird as our president? We could form a new party. How about “The Bird’s Brigade.” Interested? ZACK CLINARD High Point

Taxpayers deserve their $$$

here was considerable outcry voiced all across North Carolina after the News & Observer of Raleigh reported that a change in policy could mean thousands who overpaid their taxes wouldn’t get refunds. The return monitoring process was changed that if overpayments went undiscovered during a three-year window for obtaining refunds, taxpayers could be out of luck. That didn’t sit well. And it should not have! Gov. Beverly Perdue, who said she learned only during the last couple of weeks of a 15-year backlog of 230,000 returns flagged for several reasons, has ordered Revenue Secretary Ken Lay to come up with “a plan to fix the problem, ... to have a fair and equitable system for collecting taxes and an equally fair and equitable system for paying refunds,” the N&O reported, and “any further delays in processing this backlog simply is not acceptable.” As a result, the Department of Revenue will assign some seven dozen employees to work through the returns by Dec. 22 and try to resolved outstanding issues, according to reports by The Associated Press. Happily, the governor insisted – at least in this instance – that “closeenough-for-government-work” was not an appropriate solution. With her help, the taxpayers won this round. Meanwhile, taxpayers have to keep the pressure on and watch government as closely as a hawk would because, if they don’t, the bureaucrats will find other ways to get their hands on extra money to help close the $800 million revenue shortfall the state faces.

Sure, life’s unfair; but what do we do about it?

ore Americans are suffering than at any time since the Great Depression due to rampant unemployment and the ensuing spiral that leads to hunger and homelessness, and then affects health, education, crime and other essential pieces of our social fabric. The official unemployment tally is about 14.5 million, but when you add those who have simply given up looking for jobs and those working part time because they can’t find full-time jobs the real figure approaches 30 million. How did we let this happen? Why have we done so little to correct it? One explanation came in a recent commentary by Rush Limbaugh that laid out a rationale for people who still have a job, food and a roof overhead, and who seek to justify their callous disregard for those less fortunate. Limbaugh, who speaks to millions on radio and influences many more when his remarks rebound on cable-TV and the Internet, titled his piece “Life Is Not Fair.” He tees up a premise that on the surface seems so axiomatic that it rings true on both sides of the aisle: Life isn’t always fair; in fact, it’s often brutally unfair. “Sometimes people earn more than others,” says Limbaugh, easing into a lengthy recitation of life’s inequities. “Some people have children when other people can’t. There’s nothing unfair about that. That’s just the way it is.” But two things eventually come clear in Limbaugh’s dissertation that shed light on a troubling perspective shared by an increasing number of Americans and their elected representatives. The first is to extend the argument about basic bad luck to conditions such as unemployment, suggesting that being jobless or homeless is simply a part of life’s fundamental unfairness. The second is to use the first as justification for society’s failure to act responsibly and help those who need it. Being poor or sick, according to Limbaugh, “doesn’t mean that somebody owes you something. It doesn’t mean that you’re a victim of anything. It’s just called life.” Well, it doesn’t get more fundamental than that – the question that for so long has separated conservatives and progressives and now, in dif-

ficult times, seems more divisive than ever. To what extent are we responsible for each other’s basic well-being? Limbaugh’s answer follows the classic bootstrap theme: “Some people think they have no control over their lives. They are constant OPINION victims that are always looking to blame everybody else for what Peter doesn’t go right in their lives. Other Funt people don’t have time for that. ■■■ They realize they only have one life and every day is something to seize, to make the most of.” Limbaugh concedes, “this is not going to go down well among people who have this notion that fairness is the overriding objective of any society.” That’s devastatingly blunt. It’s one thing to deny our obligation to those less fortunate, it’s something else to claim that “fairness” is not our “overriding objective.” When you peel away Limbaugh’s arguments, even the seemingly irrefutable elements become weak. Wouldn’t “good luck” in finding a job come to more people if we spent more on education? Wouldn’t “bad luck” at the hands of drunken drivers happen less if we spent more on building safer cars and enforcing laws to keep drunks off the roads? Sometimes it seems that zealots like Rush Limbaugh and those like him at both ends of the political spectrum have become so entangled in a web of their own words that they say things they couldn’t possibly believe. I wish that were the case here. But as the suffering of so many Americans goes unchecked, as the nation splits more severely into “us” and “them,” I fear that Limbaugh’s view is becoming more widespread. Life can be unfair; we all know that. More than ever it’s our responsibility to figure out what to do about it. PETER FUNT is a writer and public speaker.

Alcoa should lose control of Yadkin waters attacked his immune system.” His bloodwork was reviewed by LabCorp and also sent to Harvard. They reviewed 56 (out 209 known) PCBs and found four different kinds of highly elevated PCBs in his blood, the same PCBs found in Badin Lake. Coincidence? Alcoa spokesperson, Gene Ellis, recently revealed he misled relicensing stakeholders when he failed to tell them about Alcoa’s extensive contamination. Alcoa’s 2008 NPDES discharge permit clearly identifies persistent groundwater contamination as well as the “presence of cyanide in the discharge and proximity of swimming area” and that “results indicate that the seep (1) contains significant contamination of cyanide and fluoride and (2) causes measurable increases in the in-stream concentrations of both pollutants.” Unfortunately, most media coverage has ignored Alcoa’s lies and its legacy as a corporate polluter. If the media (or the public) simply requested public documents from the N.C. Senate Judiciary Committee, they would conclude Alcoa has lost its privilege to control our public waters.

GUEST COLUMN

n Alcoa front group, The Water Front Sportsman Environmental Investigation Coalition, which has no website, board of directors, active membership or legitimate 501(c)3 nonprofit status, is misleading the public about the Yadkin River relicensing while spreading Alcoa propaganda to mask the company’s toxic legacy. Alcoa bullied UNC-TV into removing an Alcoa/Yadkin relicensing documentary from its website. UNC-TV refuses to show the video on its website and on local public television requesting to show it. Why is Alcoa preventing the public from watching this video? Because it reveals cyanide plumes, detected in Alcoa groundwater monitoring wells, leaching into the Badin Lake swimming areas as well as contamination from arsenic, PCBs and PAHs which has poisoned the water, fish and people near Alcoa’s defunct aluminum smelter which was located on Badin Lake in Stanly County. Thankfully, the “rough cut” documentary, shown to the N.C. Senate Judiciary Committee, can be seen at http:// vimeo.com/14110879. Other recent media coverage has finally exposed that people have died from the toxic operations of this company. Alcoa Vice President of Environmental Health and Safety William O’Rourke, who recently testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, acknowledged “fatalities” had occurred but denied Alcoa had investigated employeelinked illness and deaths. Special Deputy Attorney General for the N.C. Department of Justice Faison Hicks filed a complaint to the Senate

---

Judiciary claiming that Alcoa official’s answer to the legislative committee about Alcoa’s internal epidemiological study was “not factual.” Based on Hicks’ letter and internal Alcoa documentation Yadkin Riverkeeper recently received (posted on Yadkin Riverkeeper’s website), it is clear O’Rourke lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he denied Alcoa had known about or conducted epidemiological studies for Alcoa employees, many of whom died working for Alcoa from their exposure to coal tar pitch and other toxic substances. High cancer rates in the Badin area is very real problem, requiring further investigation. Helen Hammonds is a mother of three, former Marine and a nurse from Lexington. Her husband William, whom people called Houston, was a healthy outdoorsman who regularly fished on Badin Lake for decades. Unbeknownst to Houston and his family, the fish he was bringing home to eat were poisoned with PCBs. According to Helen Hammonds, Houston suddenly died in 2008 at age 51 “from a slow insidious buildup of toxins in the fatty tissue that

pass along the pressure of raising test scores to a child. On the other hand, he said that if you want to raise test scores, then get kids excited about books. Laminack said that LESSONS reading to kids is an LEARNED intimate experience where there is nothing Paula in the world but you Williams and the book. He said ■■■ you should always read a book the first time for the sheer joy of reading, and then if the book is not worth reading again, then it’s not worth reading at all. One thing Laminack said that has really stuck with me is that meaning is made with the transaction between the heart of the writer and the heart of the reader. He said that reading should be an emotional experience before it can become an intellectual one. That reminded me of the 14 times I read “Charlotte’s Web” by E.B. White aloud to my second-grade classes. I knew that Charlotte died, I knew Wilbur saved her babies, and I knew that three of them decided to stay in the barn and be Wilbur’s friends. But I still always cried when I read the closing lines: “It is not often that someone comes along who is both a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.” It was truly a “heart connection” with the author, and I think my students got that. I am challenged to find more great children’s literature to share with my students and my grandchildren this school year. I hope you will find a connection with a great story and share it with a child, too. Who knows? You just may help turn them on to a love of reading!

For the 2009-10 school year, 67.5 percent of elementary school students were grade-level proficient in reading on the End-of-Grade tests. Superintendent Mo Green has set a goal that, by 2012, 81 percent, or four out of every five, elementary students will be proficient in reading. To ensure that happens, every elementary teacher in Guilford County (and that’s a big number) was asked to attend a two-day Summer Literacy Institute to learn more about balanced literacy and about best practices for the teaching of reading. Learning to read is not something that happens by chance. It is intentional and direct instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. In fact, our reading specialist at Pilot told our staff that teaching reading is rocket science! And because it is a complex process, we have to be sure our teachers know how to do it well. That is also why my principal has decided to make our entire faculty the “reading team” this year. We are going to devote 20 hours of professional development to improving reading instruction, and I am really excited about the difference I think it will make for our students. The keynote speaker at the Summer Literacy Institute sponsored by Guilford County Schools was Lester Laminack, PhD., a former education professor at Western Carolina University. He was both an engaging speaker and tremendously inspiring, and he had some interesting things to say about teaching reading. He began by saying that teachers are “the last gasket between the insanity of adulthood and the innocence of childhood,” and he admonished us to by no means

9/11 families rally in favor of mosque

Donna Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor (center), national spokeswoman for September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, speaks during a news conference organized by the Coalition of New York Neighbors for American Values, Wednesday, in New York. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor lost her pregnant daughter on Sept. 11, 2001.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The planned mosque and Islamic center blocks from ground zero got a new boost Wednesday from a coalition of supporters that includes families of Sept. 11 victims. New York Neighbors for American Values rallied for the first time at a municipal building near ground zero. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I lost a 23-year-old son, a paramedic who gave his life saving Americans and their values,â&#x20AC;? Talat Hamdani said, and supporting the Islamic center and mosque â&#x20AC;&#x153;has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with standing up for our human rights, including freedom of religion.â&#x20AC;? Among the nearly 2,800

people killed when the World Trade Center was attacked in 2001 were more than 30 Muslims, she noted. Opponents of the Islamic center project argue itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insensitive to the families and memories of Sept. 11 victims to build a mosque so close. Supporters cite freedom of religion. The new coalition was started by members of 40 civic and religious organizations that â&#x20AC;&#x153;spontaneously called each other, because we had the feeling that something very negative was happening,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Lerner, executive director of the New York office of the watchdog group Common Cause.

Obama to address nation to mark end of Iraq combat VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obama will address the nation from the Oval Office and visit troops at Fort Bliss, Texas, on Tuesday to mark the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs announced the dual commemoration in a statement Wednesday. The speech will mark

only the second address Obama has made from the Oval Office. He first spoke to the nation from the presidential office on June 15 about the Gulf oil spill. Fort Bliss is a symbolic military venue. The sprawling Army base in El Paso, Texas, is home to the 1st Armored Division â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Ironsidesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and has been providing heavy armor throughout the war.

Colorado authorities recapture four-time escapee DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An inmate who made his fourth escape by fleeing a maximum-security prison in northeast Colorado surrendered on Wednesday in a rural home where he had been holding a woman

hostage, a prison official said. Douglas J. Alward, 48, gave up without a struggle near Yuma, and the woman was unharmed, said Alison Morgan, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Corrections.

Sales tax hike will be on ballot BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Voters will be asked Nov. 2 if they want to raise the sales tax by a quartercent. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners voted 9-1 Wednesday to put the question on the referendum ballot for the third time. Voters declined twice in 2008 to increase the tax. If the increase is approved, consumers would pay 8 percent on general sales purchases. The estimated $11 million in additional annual proceeds would go to pay off the county’s growing debt burden. In 2008, voters approved $457 million on bonds for school construction projects, $79.5 million for Guilford Technical Community College

TAX HIKE

—

Cost: An additional penny for each $4 spent in general sales. Excluded: Food, prescription drugs, motor vehicles and gasoline. Campaign: In 2008, Citizens for a Better Guilford promoted a sales tax hike as “the most responsible way” to pay off Guilford County bonds. No similar campaign has been announced for 2010. The conservative John Locke Foundation think tank concluded that taxpayers did not need the tax hike because county government could raise enough money to pay off the bonds. 2008 votes: The Nov. 4 quarter-cent sales tax increase referendum lost by more than 2-1. Voters killed a similar referendum May 6 by a 3-1 margin.

projects and $115 million for the downtown Greensboro jail annex. The General Assembly gave counties authority in 2007 to seek the increase. “The voters have spo-

ken,” said Democratic Commissioner John Parks of High Point. “We have to be realistic and be problem solvers the best way we can to generate the revenue. This is a way

to generate revenue.” An estimated 20 to 40 percent of county sales taxes are paid by non residents, Parks said. Commissioners approved the referendum issue during a special session in the Old Courthouse to allow time for elections officials to put the item on the general election ballot. Only Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold of High Point voted against the referendum. “These revenues would be for the purpose of retiring bond debt that was put on us by voters,” Arnold said. “I can’t say I’m against that. But it’s a move I can’t make to call for a tax increase. I’ve tried to minimize taxes.” Voters in 17 counties, including Randolph, have approved an increase. So, far three additional counties will have it on the

November ballot and six, including Alamance, are considering it, according to the N.C. Association of County Commissioners. Responding to the harsh economy, commissioners have not raised the property tax in two years and have cut budgets. The county’s debt is expected to peak at $1.2 billion. General obligation debt in fiscal years 2011-16 will grow to 18 percent of the operating budget, according to estimates. Meanwhile, the county’s $45 billion property tax base is expected to decline by 1.4 percent this year. “We have cut and cut and not raised the property tax,” said Republican Commissioner Linda Shaw. “This gives people the right to vote on it and I feel strongly about that.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

PTIA assistant director interested in promotion BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – The assistant director of Piedmont Triad International Airport, Kevin Baker, said he’d like to be considered for the executive director’s position after Ted Johnson’s announcement this week that he will retire from the post this fall. Baker, 44, was hired by the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority three years ago as assistant director to oversee many of the dayto-day operations at PTIA. Baker had served as a consultant with the airport on the FedEx Corp. cargo hub project for nine and a half years before becoming assistant director. Baker told The High Point Enterprise Wednesday that he’d like to be considered for the top staff post at PTIA. Johnson, 70, announced at the airport authority meeting Tuesday that he’ll retire Sept. 30 after a 42-year career with the airport, including serving as executive director since 1993. Authority Chairman Henry Isaacson said the airport governing board’s personnel committee has begun seeking a successor to Johnson, whom Isaacson praised for his dedicated decades of ser-

vice. Isaacson, a Greensboro attorney and civic leader, said he’s asked the personnel committee to make a recommendation at the authority’s next meeting Sept. 28. “We knew this day was coming. We didn’t know when it was coming or how it was coming, since I wanted Ted to go out on his own terms, which he did,” Isaacson said. “I would like to deal with this matter (Johnson’s successor) at the Sept. 28 meeting.” If a successor to Johnson isn’t named before Johnson retires Sept. 30, Isaacson said he’d want the authority to ask Baker to serve as interim executive director until a permanent one is chosen. “I need somebody at the helm, making decisions. I want a seamless transition of the administration,” Isaacson said. When Baker was hired as assistant director in 2007, he was picked by the airport authority after the governing board received 82 resumes and interviewed seven finalists. As Baker was named assistant director three years ago, he acknowledged to The High Point Enterprise that the job could prepare him to become executive director one day. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Planners endorse Heart of the Triad plan BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The Heart of the Triad plan that is six years in the making is coming closer to fruition as local municipalities begin to sign endorsement letters for the plan. The High Point Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously agreed to endorse the “Heart of the Triad Collaborative Plan for Economic Vitality and Quality of Life” at its meeting Tuesday night. Lee

Burnette, director of the planning department, said the endorsement letters have made their way to other city planning departments as well such as Oak Ridge, which also endorsed the plan. The Heart of the Triad is the 18,000-acre area between High Point, WinstonSalem, Oak Ridge, Kernersville and Greensboro along the Guilford and Forsyth County Lines. Companies in the area provide about 13,000 jobs with the potential to grow to 82,000 jobs,

Steve Desch, an astronomy professor at Guilford Technical Community College, was among about 200 instructors from across the country who attended the five-day Cosmos in the Classroom Conference at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The conference, which was sponsored by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in San Francisco, was designed to help instructors understand how to do a better job with introductory astronomy.

according to advocates of the plan. Controversy has stirred over the development of rural land in the area. More than 4,000 acres are recommended for business development. The plan is a “coordinated land use plan for the center of the Piedmont Triad region,” Burnette told the commission. It aims to “enhance the area while maintaining its natural beauty and unique features,” according to a letter from the Heart of the Triad’s strategic planning committee.

A public meeting was held in the spring in Kernersville to present a status report on the 30-page draft plan. It includes suggestions on topics such as future land use, economic development opportunities and preservation of open space and roadways. Burnette said endorsing the plan means the planning department will take the next steps to translate Heart of the Triad land use regulations into its own language.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Commission member Cynthia Davis said she had concerns that the plan would shift activity, tax revenue or focus from High Point’s core downtown area to the Heart of the Triad. “I don’t think you’ll see any residents or jobs leaving the core city because of this,” Burnette said. The City Council will consider endorsing the plan at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 20 in City Hall. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Davidson College President Tom Ross is poised to become the University of North Carolina systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next president. A university official familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the UNC governing boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search committee is recommending Ross to succeed Erskine Bowles as head of the 17-school system. The official requested anonymity to avoid pre-

Ross is expected to be approved by the Board of Governors because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only candidate being offered, board members are well aware of him and the 32-member panel generally reaches consensus on presidential picks, the official said.

Ohio Man drowns at Emerald Isle MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

JACKSONVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An Ohio man vacationing in Emerald Isle drowned Tuesday after apparently being caught in a rip current. The 911 communication center received a report at 3:50 p.m. that a man had been pulled from the ocean and that CPR was in progress, according to a news release issued by the Emerald Isle Police Department. Timothy Jackson, 48, of Rushville, Ohio, was unresponsive when he was pulled to shore by bystanders and CPR was performed until emergency services personnel arrived on the scene. Jackson was transported to Carteret General Hospital by Emerald

ear Abby: I had to chuckle at the letter from â&#x20AC;&#x153;SmoothHeaded in Tampaâ&#x20AC;? (June 28), who complained that shallow women wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t date a bald man. He hit the nail on the head with the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;shallow.â&#x20AC;? My husband is bald, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize it when I first met him because he always wore a ball cap. We had gone to school together many years earlier, and he had thick, wavy hair then. When he took his cap off, I only hesitated for a second, remembering a lesson my father had taught me: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never judge a book by its cover.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad I heeded my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been married 11 years and are more in love with each other now than when we married. Please tell â&#x20AC;&#x153;SmoothHeadedâ&#x20AC;? that not all women are shallow. He wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want a woman like that, anyway. Besides, those women have no idea what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing. I keep threatening to get my husband that T-shirt that reads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a Bald Head, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Solar Panel for a Sex Machine,â&#x20AC;? but he says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to spill the beans! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Love His Chrome Dome Dear Love: Thank you for the encouraging words for â&#x20AC;&#x153;SmoothHeaded.â&#x20AC;? If the enthusiasm from my readers who love and/or prefer bald men is any indication, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoothâ&#x20AC;? has been worrying needlessly. Read on: Dear Abby: I happen

to absolutely go nuts over bald or balding men. I find nothing sexier. I ADVICE can spot a bald man Dear a mile off, Abby and in my â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; eyes there is no one else who compares. It may be because ever since I can remember, my father has been balding. It makes no difference to me whether a man has little or no hair, is tall or short, thin or heavy. It is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the inside that counts. Any man bold enough to shave his head or not cover it with a ball cap is tops in my book. (My favorite actor is Vin Diesel.) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Out There Looking Dear Abby: Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoothâ&#x20AC;? know that bald is the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;sexyâ&#x20AC;?? If he is uncomfortable with his hairline, he should see a barber or stylist who can make what hair he has â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot.â&#x20AC;? Every head can look good. I have happily dated men with receding hairlines and shaved heads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoothâ&#x20AC;? just needs to find a real woman whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interested in who he is, not whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing or not growing on top of his head. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Not Baldphobic in Massachusetts Dear Abby: You are correct that plenty of women will date balding men. Aside from

north of Charlotte that could be considered a destination job to wrap up a career. His two children also attended Davidson. But Ross, a Greensboro native, has a distinguished public service and government career that, when combined with his connections to Democratic politics and UNC, makes him suited for the job leading campuses with about 200,000 students combined. He got his law degree at UNC-Chapel Hill.

your assertion that we are the smart ones who see beyond the surface, balding is supposed to be a sign of virility. I do have one question for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smooth-Headedâ&#x20AC;?: Are you willing to date women who are less than supermodels? Many women I know, myself included, are smart, funny and sexy, but have been spurned because we are slightly overweight. What I have learned is that people who sit around whining about the opposite sex being shallow should review their own biases and unrealistic expectations. Who might you be overlooking, Mr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoothâ&#x20AC;?? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Big And Beautiful in South Dakota Dear Abby: I am in a loving, happy relationship with my 26-year-old boyfriend who has malepattern baldness. We met through Internet dating, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoothâ&#x20AC;? should give it a try. Potential dates read about your interests and personality at the same time they see your photos. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start to know you before they meet you. My advice to balding men: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be ashamed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ownâ&#x20AC;? your baldness. My boyfriend does. And his self-confidence makes him even more attractive to me. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Happy Honey To A Balding Babe DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Isle EMS and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at the hospital, police said. Jackson was on vacation with his family and was swimming with his son in the 9400 block of Ocean Drive. Witnesses at the scene reported that Jackson was caught in a rip current while swimming and got pulled into deep water. He began yelling for help and several bystanders responded to assist him, the news release said. The bystanders were able to reach him and get him to shore but Jackson was unresponsive at that time. Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son was not injured. The drowning is the third in the Emerald Isle area this summer.

Filing begins for vacated NC appeals court seat RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Attorneys who want to run for the North Carolina Court of Appeals seat vacated this month by newly appointed federal Judge Jim Wynn have a week to sign up for the November ballot. The State Board of Elections opened the candidate filing period Wednesday morning for the appeals court job and will close it next Tuesday afternoon. At least two candi-

dates previously said they plan to run. One of them is Cressie Thigpen. He was appointed this week to fill Wynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat through the end of the year by Gov. Beverly Perdue. Voters would rank candidates by preference if more than three people seek the job through a process called instant runoff voting. It would be the first time instant runoff voting has been used statewide.

Paget’s disease strikes at older ages

ear Dr. Donohue: Please give me information on Paget’s disease. I am 85 and have been told I have it. – N.D.

BLONDIE

Paget’s bone disease comes about when normal bone remodeling becomes abnormal. From the first moment of life to the last moment before death, bones are breaking down and immediately being rebuilt. Bonemaking cells cooperate with bone-demolishing cells to renew our bones. In Paget’s disease, this process is out of whack. The bone-demolishing cells speed up their destruction and leave in their wake weakened and deformed bones. The bone-making cells compete but produce poorly made, disorganized and misshapen bones. This process occurs at older ages and usually progresses slowly. Paget’s might affect only one small area of bone, or it may take place in larger areas of many bones. When limited areas of one or a few bones are involved, patients have no symptoms, and no treatment is needed. If it’s more widespread and causes trouble, then treatment begins. Enlargement of the skull can bring on headaches. When the hearing nerve is entrapped in new bone, deafness in one ear results. Paget’s bone is subject to fractures. If the

process occurs near joints, arthritis can result. No one knows for sure what HEALTH causes Paget’s. Dr. Paul Some Donohue believe it ■■■ might be a virus. Drugs used in the treatment of osteoporosis also are used for Paget’s disease, often quite effectively. If you are unaware of the Paget Foundation, let me introduce you to it. It will be your best friend. The foundation can provide you with the latest information on treatment and enlighten you in depth about what’s happening in your bones. Its website is www.paget.org, and its phone number is 800-23PAGET. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 52 years old, and found out that my mother has been diagnosed with dementia. She is 75. I have been going over things that have happened to her in her life. She has a weak bladder, irritable bowel syndrome, is overweight and short-tempered, and has fought depression. She now has much forgetfulness. Is dementia hereditary? What can I do to prevent it? I want to be around my family and not be a burden or

have them ashamed of me. – Anon. Dementia is a decline in mental functioning – a loss of the ability to think clearly, to express oneself meaningfully, to remember recent events and to make judgments on appropriate behavior. Many different illnesses cause dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause, so I’ll direct my remarks to it. Family history is a factor in coming down with Alzheimer’s disease. That’s not to say that a parent’s illness dooms his or her child to have it. If a mother, father, sister or brother has or had Alzheimer’s disease, a person has twice the risk of developing it than do those without such a family history. Many other factors are involved. Aging is one. The incidence of Alzheimer’s doubles for every five years lived after age 65. By age 85, one in three people will have a touch of this illness. Prevention is something everyone is looking for. A diet that is based on fruits, vegetables and whole grains is said to afford some protection. So is remaining as physically and mentally active as possible. Dementia should not be a matter of shame to the involved person or to that person’s family. It’s an illness.

Interview: Tiger Woods’ ex-wife went ‘through hell’ WINDERMERE, Fla. (AP) – Tiger Woods’ exwife Elin Nordegren said she has “been through hell” since her husband’s infidelity surfaced but she never hit him, according to an interview released Wednesday. Nordegren told People magazine she and Woods tried for months to reconcile the relationship. In the end, a marriage “without trust and love” wasn’t good for anyone, she said. On Thanksgiving night outside their Florida home, Woods drove his SUV over a fire hydrant and into a tree, setting off shocking revelations that sports’ biggest star had been cheating on his wife through multiple affairs. The couple officially divorced Monday. Nordegren told People that she never hit Woods on the night of the car crash. “There was never any violence inside or outside our home,” she said. “The speculation that I would have used a golf club to hit him is just truly ridiculous.”

Major Garrett leaving Fox for National Journal NEW YORK (AP) – Fox News Channel chief White House correspondent Major Garrett said Wednesday he’s leaving the network after eight years to join Garrett the National Journal as a congressional correspondent. Garrett, who worked at the Washington Times, U.S. News & World Report and CNN before joining Fox in 2002, said it was a return to his roots in print journalism. “I’ve been seen, I’ve been heard,” he said. “I appreciate that. I just want to be read now.”

BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – The High Point Theatre’s upcoming season will offer the most shows in the theater’s history, as far as Director Louisa Hart can determine. The 2010-11 Professional Artist Series is composed of 12 shows, compared to eight last year and an average of six to nine in recent years. Hart was able to book the 12 shows at approximately the same cost as last year’s eight shows by booking packages and getting a deal on price. “I thought, let’s offer this very diverse season at the same cost,” she said. “And this package allowed me to bring in some musicals and different things we haven’t done before.” The season falls into four miniseries – comedy, variety, oldies and jazz – of three shows each. The season opens Oct. 9 with a show by the Grammy Awardnominated jazz group Acoustic Alchemy. Jazz has grown increasing popular in the past several years, Hart said. “Rhythm of the Dance,” a large-production show by dancers and singers with the National Dance Company of Ireland, is one of the shows that normally would be too expensive to book, but was affordable because of the package rate. “In the Mood,” a big-band music revue, also has a large cast. Hart considers contemporary jazz musician Boney James a coup because he’s so popular now, and she’s pleased to have secured Deodato, who received a Grammy Award in 1973 for theme for the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Herman’s Hermits and Juice Newton will represent the oldies and nostalgia genre, and Herman’s Hermits is a repeat because the group was so popular several years ago. The Georgia Satellites will bring hard, Southern rock to the High Point Theatre. Jon Reep, a comedian from Hickory, Dr. Etta and James Gregory will hold up the comedy corner, and a special ticket package is available for people who buy tickets for all three shows.

Performers in “It’s A Wonderful Life: Live From WVL Radio Theatre,” a holiday stage production of a live radio broadcast from the 1940s. “It’s A Wonderful Life: Live From WVL Radio Theatre” has become a holiday tradition at the theater in the past several years, and it returns this year on Dec. 21. Attendance of 4,200 last season increased from 3,500 for 2008-09, which was a pleasant surprise during the difficult economy, Hart said. Because the theater is city owned and operated, some season costs are absorbed by the city. That figure for last year was $10,000, which is normal for recent years. Hart hopes the upcoming larger season means the city will have to bear less of the cost. She also will seek donations and grants to reduce the city’s share of costs. Hart keeps track of theater patrons’ ZIP codes. Last year, 31 percent was from High Point, and 25 percent was from Winston-Salem and Greensboro. Forty percent was from other parts of the state; 4 percent was from out of state. The number of out-of-state patrons has grown steadily and is up from 1 percent several years ago. Part of the theater’s mission, Hart said, is to contribute to High Point’s economic development. Toward that end, the theater offers one-stop service through which out-of-towners may book theater tickets and hotel reservations. Hart hopes to soon add restaurant reservations to the service. vknopfler@hpe.com / 888-3601

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Lance Armstrong, Robin Roberts and Michael C. Hall are among the celebrities affected by cancer who will take part in a TV fundraiser next month. “Stand Up to Cancer” has announced appearances by other actors, athletes and musicians who have faced the disease, including Maura Tierney, Christina Applegate and Kareem AbdulJabbar. Elizabeth Edwards, who kicked off the first “Stand Up to Cancer” telethon in 2008 with Armstrong, is taking part again.

It’s going to take guts, brains and the ongoing support of the public, but we can do this,” Ziskin said.

FIRST HEART South would succeed if he took his time and let West win the first heart. (South could also win and return a heart.) South could win the next heart, take two high trumps and then start the clubs as before. East would be helpless. If he ruffed the third club, South would play low, losing a trump, a diamond and a heart. If instead East discarded, South would take the queen and ruff his last club in dummy.

BRIDGE Don’t lose your head to gain a minute. You need your head; your brains are in it. – Burma Shave One hasty play can throw away a good contract. Today’s declarer took dummy’s ace of hearts and knew he was safe if trumps broke 3-2 or clubs broke 33. South took the A-K of trumps, and when West discarded, South next led the K-A and a third club. If East had four clubs, South could ruff his fourth club in dummy safely. Alas, East ruffed and led a heart, and West won and led his last club. East ruffed again, and the defense also got a diamond.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A K Q 6 3 H 10 7 D A J C K Q 3 2. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: You have enough strength for slam, but the hand is questionable for a jump-shift to two spades because you need room to look for a trump suit or ascertain that notrump is right. Bid one spade. If partner bids 1NT next, you’ll jump to 6NT. If he rebids two hearts, you’ll try three clubs, forcing, to learn more about his hand. South dealer E-W vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; 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.

‘Avatar’ returns to 3-D theaters Friday SANDY COHEN AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER

ANTA MONICA, Calif. – Before he takes moviegoers deep beneath the Pandoran sea, James Cameron hopes they’ll go for an extended tour of the fictional planet he introduced in “Avatar.” “Avatar: Special Edition,” which includes 9 minutes of new footage, opens in 3-D theaters worldwide Friday. “I’m trying to use the technology to keep people interested and enthused about the ‘Avatar’ universe, because it’s going to be a long time before we get another ‘Avatar’ movie done,” the filmmaker said in a recent interview. Cameron, 56, already has plans for the “Avatar” sequels. He’s also got a submarine to build, cameras for the Mars rover to design, an underwater 3-D camera to upgrade and maybe even an ocean-related feature to make. But first, he had to select and perfect new “Avatar” footage and persuade distributor 20th Century Fox to rerelease the film theatrically in 3-D. Cameron said there are “hundreds of thousands, if not millions” of people who wanted to see the movie in 3-D but didn’t get the chance because “Avatar” was edged out of 3-D theaters by other scheduled 3-D releases. Since then, the number of available 3-D screens has doubled inter-

nationally, he said. Fox executives said in a statement that they have been “inundated with requests to rerelease the film in theaters in 3-D” since it wrapped its original run in March. “Avatar” boasts the biggest box-office take in history, collecting $2.7 billion worldwide. Bringing the movie back to the big screen is an experiment inspired by initial fan response to the movie, Cameron said. “It was the most pirated film in history at the same time it was the most attended film in movie theaters,” he said, adding that some who saw the movie on DVD or on their computer screens may want to enjoy it in all its big-screen, 3-D glory. The new footage is sprinkled throughout the movie. One bit focuses on the death of one of the planet’s native humanoids, the tailed, blue Na’vi. His death is hinted at in the original film, but in the extended version, “We actually see him die,” Cameron said. “Not like he splats to the ground, but how they gather around him afterwards,” he said. “It’s this big emotional scene and it’s actually the best CG we did in the whole movie.” Another scene follows a hunt for one of Pandora’s bizarre creatures in a “rousing actionadventure, pulse-pounding kind of scene,” he said.

The character Neytiri, voiced by Zoe Saldana, and the character Jake, voiced by Sam Worthington, in a scene from “Avatar.” The extended version will appear on a special-edition DVD to be released in November. It will also include a more expanded, “alternate reality version” of the film that is 16 minutes longer than the original, Cameron said. He has already begun technical development on an “Avatar” sequel that will focus on the planet’s ocean environment. “I love diving,” he said, “and if I’m making this movie, I’m not going to be diving as much as I’d like, so I’m going to give myself a kind of methadone fix by doing fantasy ocean.” He will also get a dose

NICOLE EVATT ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

EW YORK – Pat O’Brien is returning to the spotlight as co-host of a sports radio show. But he isn’t leaving entertainment behind. O’Brien, 62, can talk about LeBron James and Mel Gibson with the knowledge of an inside expert. The former host of “The Insider” syndicated entertainment newsmagazine and “Access Hollywood” also worked for CBS Sports. He is now co-host with Steve Hartman and Vic “The Brick” Jacobs on the Fox Sports Radio show “Loose Cannons,” previously known as “Hartman & Friends.” The show airs 3-7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. It features news, analysis and interviews from sports and entertainment. In a recent phone interview, O’Brien talked about his radio show, sobriety and why he wants to open a burger shack in South Dakota. AP: What can fans expect from “Loose Cannons”? O’Brien: This show is more than just sports. The line between sports and entertainment is completely erased and you know sports stars have their own red carpets every night and you know athletes want to be actors and some of them want to be bad actors and actors want to be athletes. Most of them are bad athletes, but there’s a synergism there that works. I bring the sports, and people forget I was in news for 10 years, too, so I bring news, sports and entertainment right to the show. AP: What do you think about the LeBron James controversy? O’Brien: LeBron James made a mistake. Somehow somebody got into his ear and said, “Hey not only are you the biggest and most popular player but everybody wants to hear you say how big

and popular you are.” ... Until LeBron wins something there’s no King James, there’s Prince James until then. AP: Since you have an extensive entertainment background and have weathered your own storms, what are your thoughts on Mel Gibson? O’Brien: Mel’s one of those people, and I’ve interviewed him many times, who is very uncomfortable in his own skin. He’s just got to pull himself together. I don’t know what goes on the other side of that relationship and there may be two sides to every story but he’s certainly the talk right now and I feel bad for him. ... The morning-zoo radio shows can have a lot of fun with me or Mel Gibson or Lindsay Lohan or David Hasselhoff. ... Alcoholism affects one in four people in this country and it’s not funny. AP: What was the turning point when you decided to go into rehab? O’Brien: It is a serious brain disorder and people don’t understand what alcoholism is. ... If you keep drinking, you’re gonna die and yeah, had I kept drinking, I would have died. AP: How does it feel to be returning to the air clean and sober? O’Brien: I was never on the air drunk. I never drank when I worked. ... I go on the air clean and sober. I have no secrets anymore. You know that’s liberating. There’s nothing anybody can say bad about me anymore because it’s all been said, so there’s tremendous liberation in that. AP: Tell me about your autobiography. O’Brien: I have a book coming out ... next summer. Andrew Morton, who wrote Lady Di, Tom Cruise and Madonna and Monica Lewinsky’s (biographies), is writing it with me, and we’re doing a look at my life and the pretty insane, interesting life that I’ve had and we’ll also put some perspective on how these entertainment shows have created a culture that has kind of ruined pop culture.

promise of 3-D and a future in which every screen is dimensionalized – which he thinks is just a few years away. “You’ll still need glasses in the movie theater, but you’ll have video, you’ll have laptops, all your small devices, the iPads and all that stuff will be without glasses,” he said. “We’re basically revolutionizing how people watch stuff. “We’re rewriting the contract between humans and screens. The whole world is defined by humans watching screens – we watch screens at work, we watch screens for entertainment – and we’re changing it.”

Chandler welcomes second chance W

hen he steps onto the field as a defensive lineman for Winston-Salem State in Saturday night’s Furniture City Gridiron Classic, Jerry Chandler will be excited for at least two reasons. First, he is getting a second chance at playing college football, five years removed from the last time he played a down in High Point SPORTS Central’s 2005 playoff loss to Mount Greer Tabor. Second, he Smith will be playing on ■■■ the Simeon Stadium field where he roamed in middle school and high school. “My mother (Lynn Barthell Peguese) says everything happens for a reason,” Chandler said Wednesday as he sat in the Bowman Gray Stadium fieldhouse. “I can’t believe how things have worked out.” They are working out four years after Chandler originally enrolled at WSSU. He was redshirted his freshman year and declared academically ineligible in 2007. He dropped out of school for two years and spent his time working in a warehouse. Becoming a father last year re-

sulted in a change in perspective on what he wanted out of his life and a desire to return to school. “I want to give my son a better Chandler life,” Chandler said. “I have the opportunity to play football and get a college degree. I feel one of those two can give him a better life. So, I’m taking a shot at both of them.” Among those encouraging and supporting the return to college were his mother and his cousin, Darius Barthell – a football standout at Ragsdale High and at Lenoir-Rhyne College. “My cousin gave me this quote out of a book and I hung it over my bathroom mirror,” Chandler said. “The quote goes, ‘I am what I am today because what I believed about myself yesterday, and I will be tomorrow because of what I believe about myself right now.’ That quote helped me out a lot.” Logging long, sweaty hours in the warehouse for low pay also influenced the decision. “That was a life I saw I did not want,” Chandler said. “I was too young to be working in that kind of job already. The guys I was working with pushed me to go

back. They all said if they had a chance to go back to school, they would. I don’t want to be one of those guys who winds up saying ‘if I would have done things this way or that way...’ I wanted to go ahead and do it, and then be proud of what I’ve done. “Personally, I just want to get out there. I have a lot to prove. In high school, I was a pretty good player. I don’t want my legacy to stop with high school” Chandler, a 6-foot-6, 285-pound physical education major, currently is working with the second team as he gets accustomed to playing in college once again. “When I last played a down of football, I was 17,” Chandler said. “I’m just trying to get that rust off. ... The hardest part is getting my mind together. When you play this game, you have to love this game. The first couple of days, I was kind of like, ‘Do I want to do this?’ I had a talk with my mom and she said, ‘I know you still have it in you.’ That pushed me to go further with it.” Rams defensive coordinator and Thomasville native Kienus Boulware sees Chandler having the size and potential to become primarily first string. “Jerry is quickly grasping on to a new system and will be heavily counted on to contribute

on the defensive line this year,” Boulware said. “Right now, he is primarily with the second unit. But as time goes on, that could change day-to-day. He has something you can’t coach. You can’t coach a small guy how to be big. At first sight, I said, ‘This guy has to play for us.’ ” Chandler can’t wait for the chance to leave the Simeon turf as a winner. “It was an extreme high when I learned we were going to play there,” he said. “Being it is going to be my first college game at a place where I played since middle school is extremely exciting. The last time I played there I lost. Every time I’ve gone back, I’ve had a bad taste in my mouth. So I’m going over there to get a win.” The biggest victories that he has experienced at Simeon were triumphs over T. Wingate Andrews in his sophomore, junior and senior seasons. A victory over Virginia Union on Saturday night would surpass that. “It’s college and the first time with a new team,” Chandler said. “It would be wonderful. It would top all the other wins.” It would be a long way from working in a warehouse. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

Rockies top Braves with epic rally from 9 down DENVER (AP) – The Colorado Rockies overcame a nine-run deficit, matching the biggest rally in team history and stunning the Atlanta Braves 12-10 Thursday on Troy Tulowitzki’s goahead single in the eighth inning. Down 10-1 in the third inning, the Rockies chipped away against the NL East leaders before taking the lead with four runs in the eighth. Carlos Gonzalez hit a tying, two-run single with two outs, and Tulowitzki and Todd Helton followed with RBI singles. The Rockies kept close in the wild-card race and finished a threegame sweep. Colorado also rallied from nine runs down to beat Florida 18-17 on July 4, 2008. The major league record for the biggest comeback is 12 runs – it’s happened three times, most recently by Cleveland against Seattle in 2001. The NL record of 11 runs has been done three times, with Houston doing it to St. Louis in 1994. With one out in the eighth and the Rockies trailing 10-8, reliever Jonny Venters (4-2) walked Chris Iannetta and Melvin Mora singled. One out later, Dexter Fowler walked, bringing up Gonzalez. Kyle Farnsworth relieved, and Tulowitzki and Helton delivered their hits. Matt Belisle (6-4) picked up the win, pitching 11⁄3 innings in relief. Brian McCann matched his career best with four hits, including an RBI single in the Braves’ four-run second. Martin Prado doubled and drove in three runs and Jason Heyward tripled, doubled and scored twice. Atlanta chased Colorado starter Esmil Rogers with two outs in the second inning after tagging him for seven runs and eight hits. Manuel Corpas relieved Rogers but was lifted in the fourth inning after he felt pain in his pitching elbow. Corpas gave up a leadoff double to McCann and then stepped off the rubber and motioned toward the Rockies dugout, seeking the team trainer’s assistance.

Jim Furyk picked a bad time to sleep in. Furyk overslept Wednesday when his cell phone lost power overnight and the alarm didn’t go off, causing him to be late for his pro-am tee time in The Barclays. That left PGA Tour officials no choice but to make him ineligible for the first of four FedEx Cup playoff events. A two-time winner on tour this year, Furyk is No. 3 in the standings as the race for the $10 million prize gets under way at Ridgewood Country Club without him. It is unlikely he will fall too far down the standings. Phil Mickelson appeared to be more furious than Furyk. “The rule itself applies to only half the field,” said Mickelson, noting that only 54 of the 122 players were in the pro-am. “I have no idea how the commissioner let this rule go through. It’s ridiculous.”

HIT AND RUN t may sound hard to believe, but I’ve never tailgated prior to a college football game. As a college student, I was almost always working on Saturdays and rarely attended games. As a sports writer, your focus is on covering the game and meeting deadline. Folks tell me tailgating is awesome, and I have no reason to doubt them. It sounds like fans will be treated to another great tailgating opportunity prior to Saturday night’s Winston-Salem State-Virginia Union showdown at Simeon Stadium. The Furniture City Gridiron Classic kicks off shortly after 7:30 p.m. Game tick-

WHO’S NEWS

ets cost $15. Call 750-3220 or check the web at www.wssurams.com for more details. Parking will cost $5 per car. But the fun begins long before kickoff. A concert and tailgating extravaganza entitled “The Hits Just Keep On Comin’” runs from 4-7 p.m. outside of the stadium. Bands scheduled to appear include International, Brey Quick, The Cream Team, Ricco Barrino, DJ Phalse ID and DJ E Sudd. The concert is free, but folks are encouraged to bring canned food donations to help a charity Canned Food drive sponsored by the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity from High Point University.

More information can be found on Facebook. Just type in High Point Gridiron Classic and you’re in business. And if you want to get a headstart on Saturday, check out the Scholarship Gala hosted by the High Point Alumni Chapter of WSSU on Friday from 6 p.m.-1 a.m. at the Best Western High Point Hotel. This is a formal shindig (i.e. elegant dress) and tickets cost $30. Call 687-4010 for more details on the Friday night schedule. Sounds like a full slate of college football with all the trimmings. Enjoy!

Quayle targets honest brilliance BY SAN QUENTIN QUAYLE TO TELL THE TRUTH

Former big-league fireballer Roger Clemens became the latest retired athlete to land in hot water before Congress. The Rocket faces serious legal chin music in the wake of charges he lied before a Congressional committee on the subject of performance-enhancing drugs. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not condoning Clemensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; alleged steroid-related abuses. If he is guilty, he should be punished. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just not so sure Congress is the best judge of veracity. This 535-member body doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t boast Hall-of-Fame credentials when it comes to truth telling. It reminds me of the old joke: How can you tell if a Congressman is lying? Is his mouth moving? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that bad, but it is too close for comfort. Honesty is always the best policy, which is why I must confess my 8-3 record picking prep football winners in week one left me longing for more. The truth is, nothing less than 100 percent accuracy each and every week will reach my lofty goals. In that vein, here is this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honest-as-my-noseis-long high school football forecast.

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Head coach Craig Cozart has announced three more student-athletes that will join the 2010-11 High Point University baseball team. Freshman John Maloney and transfers Ryan Retz and Sean Wilson have all joined the Panthers for the 2011 season. Maloney joins the team from Mahopac, N.Y. and give HPU another option behind the plate.

Maloney was also an AllSection football player at Mahopac and was the team MVP as a senior. Retz comes to High Point for his sophomore season after playing one year at Pima Community College in Arizona. The Tucson, Ariz. native will be an option at first base as well as serving as a relief pitcher this season. He was a three-year AllConference and All-State

Shannon thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Canes to step up CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When he took over at Miami, Randy Shannon had a list of things he knew had to happen before the Hurricanes could return to prominence. Recruiting needed to be more effective. Academics had to be a top priority. Players were asked to get bigger, stronger, faster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a challenge,â&#x20AC;? Shannon said. True, yet all those things seem to have been scratched off that initial to-do list. Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster is loaded with depth again. Size and speed have been added to just about every position. The Hurricanes are one of the best-performing major college football teams in the classroom, something that Shannon thinks shows a level of discipline that could easily translate into better showings on the field as well. So all those baby steps have been taken. The way the Hurricanes see it, all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left to do now is win. Still eyeing its first Atlantic Coast Conference title, Miami expects to take a giant leap forward in 2010, with a returning 24touchdown quarterback in Jacory Harris, quite possibly the deepest corps of wide receivers in the country, along with plenty of talent at defensive line, running back and in the secondary. The Hurricanes were 9-4 last season, the second one in a row where they won two more games than the year before, and if that trend continues Shannon doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any reason why Miami wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in the hunt for an ACC crown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done, where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been, where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going as far as this football program, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? he said. The schedule wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make things any easier for Miami. After opening at home against Florida A&M on Sept. 2, Miami plays its next three on the road â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at Ohio State, Pittsburgh and Clemson, a daunting lineup by any measure. And when the Hurricanes finally get home again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be to meet none other than Florida State, the popular pick to win the ACC title and represent the conference in the Orange Bowl. Plus, the games that may be

Vikings acquire Camarillo from Dolphins EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Minnesota Vikings arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waiting around to beef up their ailing receivers corps. The Vikings acquired receiver Greg Camarillo from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for cornerback Benny Sapp on Wednesday, one day after signing veteran free agent Javon Walker.

A year ago, Miami opened with Florida State, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and Oklahoma, with some national pundits expecting the Hurricanes to go 0-4. They went 3-1, soaring in the national polls, only to stumble against both Clemson and North Carolina to miss out on playing for the ACC title and berth in the Orange Bowl. They learned their lesson. So talk of Ohio State, and a matchup of the two programs who played one of the most memorable national championship games of the past decade, is taboo. These Hurricanes have the requisite swagger, yet insist their approach when it comes to the schedule will be businesslike, even downright boring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The feeling that we have is a genuine feeling that at every position, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no flaw,â&#x20AC;? safety Vaughn Telemaque said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At every position, somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to make a play. At every position, somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make a play.â&#x20AC;? If there are concerns heading into 2010, it likely revolves around the offensive line â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which, literally and figuratively, got a huge boost with the arrival of 6-foot-8, 350pound Seantrel Henderson, who originally signed with Southern California as the most coveted recruit in the nation, then was released when the Trojans were hit by NCAA sanctions. Henderson could play from Game 1 at Miami. Another issue of some concern is linebacker, although returning standouts Sean Spence and Colin McCarthy appear to be as healthy as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in some time. Special teams should be a strength, anchored by kicker-punter Matt Bosher, one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best at both jobs. Shannon knows this was supposed to be a process, although it tested his patience. Shannon has seen all the ebbs and flows of Miami football over the last three decades around his alma mater. Shannon was recruited by Howard Schnellenberger, played for Jimmy Johnson, then coached alongside Dennis Erickson, Butch Davis and Larry Coker. In short, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen just about everything at Miami. A new chapter, he expects, will be written this year. The workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been done. Shannon truly thinks this is the year with a payoff.

NFL moves forward with 18-game season ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NFL owners are eager to increase the regular season from 16 to 18 games. The players arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so sure. During a five-hour meeting at a posh hotel in downtown Atlanta, the push to add two more games to the regular season picked up steam Wednesday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least among those who sign the checks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win all around,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots.

The owners also unanimously approved Stan Kroenkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to purchase majority ownership of the St. Louis Rams, assuming he turns over control of two other teams he owns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Denver Nuggets and the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colorado Avalanche â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to his son. Kroenke owns 40 percent of the downtrodden Rams and exercised his right to purchase the rest of the team from the Rosenbloom family for a reported $750 million.

Blaney fills dance card for rest of Cup season TOUR TIME

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

THE MOTORSPORTS NOTEBOOK: Dave Blaney is filling up his dance card for the rest of the Cup season. Blaney, who left Prism Motorsports because he had his fill of starting and then parking after a few laps, hopes to split time between the No. 36 of Tommy Baldwin Motorsports and the No. 38 of Front Row Motorsports for the remaining 12 races. In his debut for Baldwin, Blaney failed to make the starting field last weekend at Bristol. Front Row officially announced that he will drive its No. 38 Ford when the tour resumes next weekend at Atlanta. Blaney said he hopes to drive for Front Row in six races, splitting time with Tony Raines as they fill the gap created by the departure of under-performing rookie Kevin Conway. For the other six races, Blaney expects to drive for Baldwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just worked out that Front Rowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal with Conway fell apart about the time I left the 66,â&#x20AC;? said Blaney, a High Point resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Car owner) Bob Jenkins gave me a call.â&#x20AC;? Blaney will be part of a three-car team. Travis Kvapil and David Gilliland are the other drivers for the operation that Jenkins funds through his fast-food franchises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Travis and David are good drivers,â&#x20AC;? Blaney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to park. So, for me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a start to get out there and have a chance to race again.â&#x20AC;?

STREAK ON THE LINE While Blaney is idle this weekend, his son Ryan goes for his third straight PASS South victory at South Boston Speedway. The elder Blaney said his son practiced on Tuesday at North Wilkesboro Speedway in preparation for the PASS circuitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200-lap event there on Sept. 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The track is real slick because the asphalt is so worn,â&#x20AC;? Dave Blaney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the place will be very fast for our kind of cars because there is no grip in the turns. Because it is so worn, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a battle of real tire management since it is a 200-lap race.â&#x20AC;?

The NASCAR Southern Modified Tour makes its final appearance of the season at Caraway Speedway on Saturday night. James Civali holds the lead in standings by five points over L.W. Miller after Miller was sidelined by engine failure last week at Bristol Motor Speedway. The misfortune ended a run in which Miller finished second three times and ended a two-year victory drought when he won earlier this month at Bowman Gray Stadium. Miller, the Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2007 champion, said the foundation for this year was put in place last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were not having a good year last year and things were just not going right for our team,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to take the rest of the season off last year after Caraway in August and regroup. We were not performing like we should as a championship team and felt the time was right to go back, concentrate on getting our car better and also getting some things in order so we could come back stronger as a team this year.â&#x20AC;? The 150-lap race will share billing with a 150-lap Late Model Stock event. Travis Swaim leads Jason York by six points in late model standings.

ONE DOWN, ONE TO GO Burt Myers goes to Caraway as a champion after clinching his fourth Bowman Gray Stadium title. Myers, who needed to finish within 15 places of Brian Loftin to take the title, finished ninth while Loftin won the 150lap finale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably one of the hardest races Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever run, to be honest with you,â&#x20AC;? said Myers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to be smart about it. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do anything to where it was my fault if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the championship. So I just tried to dodge all the bullets I could.â&#x20AC;? Tim Brown and Lee Jeffreys tied for third in the final standings. Myersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brother Jason was fifth. Others winning titles included Kyle Edwards (Sportsman), Matt Cotner (Street Stock) and Jason Keaton (Stadium Stock). gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Tepid investing jeopardizes recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — The economic recovery appears to be stalling as companies cut back last month on their investments in equipment and machines and Americans bought new homes at the weakest pace in decades. Overall orders for bigticket manufactured goods increased 0.3 percent in July, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. But that was only because of a 76 percent jump in demand for commercial aircraft. Taking out the volatile transportation category, orders for durable goods fell at the steepest rate since January. And business orders for capital goods took their sharpest drop since January 2009,

Credit card debt hits 8-year low NEW YORK (AP) — The amount consumers owed on their credit cards dropped to its lowest level in eight years, as cardholders continued to pay off balances in the uncertain economy. The average combined debt for bank-issued credit cards — those with a MasterCard or Visa logo — fell to $4,951 in the second quarter, down 13 percent from $5,719 last year, according to TransUnion.

SEC makes proxy ballot access easier WASHINGTON (AP) — The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved, on a divided vote, changes making it easier for shareholders to nominate directors of public companies. The changes were long sought by investor advocates and opposed by business interests. The vote by the SEC at a public meeting Wednesday was 3-2, with the two Republican commissioners opposed. The proposal drew protests from the nation’s biggest business lobby.

Oil rises after 6 days of declines NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices edged higher Wednesday afternoon, struggling back from earlier lows following reports of weak orders for big-ticket durable goods and falling new home sales. Benchmark crude for October delivery rose 35 cents to $71.98 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

DILBERT

when the economy was stuck in the deepest recession in decades. Separately, Commerce said new home sales fell 12.4 percent in July from a month earlier to a seasonally adjusted annual sales pace of 276,000. That was the slowest pace on records dating back to 1963. Collectively, the past three months have been the worst on record for new home sales. The weak sales mean fewer jobs in the construction industry, which normally powers economic recoveries. Each new home built creates, on average, the equivalent of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in taxes, according to the National Association of

Home Builders. The two reports are likely to stoke fears that the economy is on the verge of slipping back into a recession. They follow Tuesday’s report that showed sales of previously owned homes fell last month to the lowest level in decades. Unemployment remains near double digits and job growth in the private sector is slowing. “The rebound in manufacturing was one of the bright spots in an otherwise disappointing recovery,” said Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. “Take it away, throw in a relapse in housing, and you don’t have much left.”

Mortgage applications rise on low rates NEW YORK (AP) — Mortgage applications rose 4.9 percent last week as more borrowers refinanced at the lowest rates in decades. The Mortgage Bankers Association said Wednesday the gain was fueled by a 5.7 percent increase in refinancing applications. The number of loans taken out to purchase homes edged up by less than 1 percent. The numbers are adjusted for seasonal factors. Refinancing is at its highest level since May 2009 and makes up 82.4 percent of all new loan activity, its highest share since January 2009. However, low mortgage rates have done little to boost home sales, which have been hurt by high unemployment, slow job

growth and strict credit standards. Purchase activity is 41.5 percent below its level at the end of April, when two federal tax credits for homebuyers expired. Rates have fallen since spring as investors sought the safety of Treasury bonds, lowering their yield. Mortgage rates tend to track those yields. The average rate for a 30-year fixed loan fell to 4.55 percent from 4.6 percent a week earlier. Rates on the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage, a popular choice for refinancing, decreased to 3.91 percent from 3.99 percent. The Mortgage Bankers Association’s survey covers more than 50 percent of all applications nationwide.

Garmin recalls Nuvi GPS devices NEW YORK (AP) — Garmin Ltd. said Wednesday it is recalling roughly 1.3 million Nuvi GPS devices worldwide because their batteries have the potential to overheat and create a fire hazard. About 796,000 of the GPS units were sold in the U.S. Garmin said that certain batteries provided by a separate company have overheated in some Nuvi models. The company said it has identified fewer than 10 cases of overheating, none of which

produced any property damage or injury. Garmin said the battery supplier has agreed to share the cost of replacing the battery packs and that the recall will not have a material affect on its financial results. It said owners should not attempt to remove or service the battery on their own, and asked that any affected unit be taken to a Garmin-authorized facility. Garmin shares fell by a penny to $26.54 in late morning trading.

Stocks recover despite weak home sales NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks recovered from an early slump and ended higher after traders picked through the market for beaten-down stocks. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 20 points Wednesday, its first gain in five days, after having been down as much as 102 points. The market opened lower following weak reports on new home sales and durable goods orders, renewing fears that the economic recovery is losing steam. Buying interest picked up steadily in the afternoon, however, bringing the Dow back up above the 10,000 level. Traders willing to dip back into riskier assets also pared their holdings of Treasurys, which had been rallying in recent days on economic worries. “There are some buyers today,” said Albert Meyer, portfolio manager of the Mirzam Capital Appreciation Fund. Meyer said some investors might see the market as oversold following a four-day losing streak, which took 375 points off the Dow through Tuesday. The Dow closed up 19.61, or 0.2 percent, at 10,060.06. Broader market barometers also rose. The Standard & Poor’s 500 rose 3.46, or 0.3 percent, to 1,055.33, while the Nasdaq rose 17.78, or 0.8 percent, to 2,141.54.

Greek official paints brighter picture

Toll Brothers posts profit for quarter

ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Greece’s recession is milder than initially expected and the economy will shrink by less than the forecast 4 percent this year, the finance minister said Wednesday, although a separate survey showed many businesses are struggling to stay afloat. George Papaconstantinou told deputies in Parliament that although problems remained, there was now “light at the end of the tunnel,” and reiterated that there was no question of Greece restructuring its debt. “We all know that three months ago, the Greek economy came to the brink of the abyss. We know that three months ago, it found itself a breath away from a suspension of payments,” Papaconstantinou said. “We managed to avert

the worst. We managed to avoid bankruptcy.” Still, a survey by GSEVEE, an association representing small businesses – which make up 98.7 percent of Greek enterprises – showed that eight in 10 businesses have seen their overall economic situation deteriorate in the first six months of the year. Greece narrowly avoided defaulting on its debt in May, after receiving the first batch of rescue loans from a three-year, €110 billion ($138.74 billion) package of loans from the International Monetary Fund and European Union. In return, it is implementing a strict austerity plan that has seen it cut civil servants’ pay, trim pensions, overhaul the Social Security and pension system and increase consumer and income taxes.

Northrop Grumman to cut shipyard workers PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) – Northrop Grumman Corp. announced Wednesday it plans to lay off 642 workers at its Pascagoula shipyard by the end of the year. The first 292 workers were notified under a federal law requiring 60 days notice of layoffs that affect 500 or more people.

The company said the layoffs are due to the cyclical nature of shipbuilding, including the timing of contracts. The shipyard, which currently has about 11,000 employees, laid off 400 workers from May to mid-July, according to the Mississippi Department of Employment Security.

The book “Goldman Sachs Conspiracy” is displayed Wednesday in Chongqing, China.

Chinese bestseller slams Goldman Sachs SHANGHAI (AP) – Goldman Sachs & Co., reviled in the U.S. for its role in the financial crisis, is now getting hammered in the world’s No. 2 economy with a sensationalist new book accusing the investment bank of trying to destroy China. The “Goldman Sachs Conspiracy,” which has sold over 100,000 copies since it was released in June, reaching popular website Sina.com’s top-10 list, follows another by author Li Delin, “Eliminate All Competitors – How Goldman Sachs Wins Over the World,” published last year. Li, a financial journalist, appears to have hit pay dirt among Chinese readers with an appetite for the would-be exposes that get prominent display in downtown bookstores, such as “Who Killed Toyota: the Truth of America’s Attack” and “Currency War.” The nearly 300-page, highly dramatized account covers much of the same ground as a widely cited piece by Matt Taibbi last year in the Rolling Stone magazine that portrayed the Wall Street institution as a “a great vampire squid

wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.” Li’s book takes ample license in its attacks on Goldman Sachs. The company’s ultimate goal, he says in the first chapter, is to “kill China.” “Like a fox chewing a bone, Goldman Sachs knows the rules of the game and when to go for your neck,” it says. With the “cruel character of a Manchurian tiger, the group creeps around the world, like a veteran hunter stalking its prey, when it smells blood it pounces!” the chapter says. Goldman Sachs’ office in Beijing refused to comment on the book and on others of its ilk. The financial cataclysm of 2008 and ensuing global recession has resulted in a profusion of books dissecting the role of global investment banks including Goldman Sachs. “It reads like a novel, rather than a real story,” said Peng Yunliang, a securities analyst.

HORSHAM, Pa. – Toll Brothers Inc. on Wednesday posted a fiscal third-quarter profit, but the luxury homebuilder said fewer buyers signed contracts, another sign that housing and the broader economy are stumbling. The company earned $27.3 million, or 16 cents per share, for the quarter that ended in late July, mostly on tax credits and fewer write-downs. That compares with a loss of $472.3 million, or $2.93 a share, last year. Excluding one-time charges, Toll’s pretax adjusted income more than tripled to $13.3 million.

Weak US data shake world markets LONDON – World stock markets fell further Wednesday as another batch of disappointing U.S. economic data reinforced fears about the strenth of the global economic recovery. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed down 46.55 points, or 0.9 percent, at 5,109.40 while Germany’s DAX fell 35.94 points, or 0.6 percent, to 5,899.50. The CAC-40 in France ended 40.92 points, or 1.2 percent, lower at 3,450.19. Fragile sentiment turned decidedly negative after U.S. data came in – once again – worse than anticipated.
