Furniture facility, jobs coming to High Point BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A Canadian company expanding to High Point will provide an injection of furniture manufacturing and office jobs, the High Point Economic Development Corp. announced Thursday. NLnovalink, based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, bought a 5.6-acre site at the corner of Mendenhall Oaks Parkway and Heron Place with plans to build a 53,000-square-foot manufacturing, corporate and client service center facility, according to a release from the company. Its USA

headquarters will be housed there. About 30 people will be hired initially, but the company plans to grow its employment base in the city to 75. Tony Vander Park, company president, said a date to begin construction had not yet been set, but it would “occur in the coming months,” and the facility should be in operation within a year. EDC President Loren Hill said the jobs will follow “fairly imminently” upon its completion. “They already are convinced of our good work force here, especially our furniture manufacturing work force,” he said. “It’s

a large project in the content of what we expect to announce this year.” The company is family-owned and manufactures office furniture. It creates desks and technology-focused workstations under the trade name “I.T. focused DESKING,” the release said. Hill said the company considered other locations in the Triad, but the project was brought to the High Point EDC’s attention thanks to a lead from the Piedmont Triad Partnership. The EDC worked with the company for nearly two and half years to recruit them to High Point. “They looked at many dif-

ferent sites and buildings, but what they wanted was very specific, so they decided to build,” he said. “This site really caught their attention. Mayor Becky Smothers played a large role in the project as well.” The company did not apply for or receive financial incentives to relocate to the city, but the City Council voted five months ago to authorize funds for improvements to Heron Place and make it a public street. The improvements will allow truck traffic for NLnovalink to access the future building, Hill said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Frazier was

among the first laid off in November 2008. “You have a lot of things that flood through your mind at that point,” he said about being laid off the first time. “I have a fiance and three children, and you wonder how you will sustain your livelihood.”

After the layoff, he found that businesses weren’t hiring. If they were, they were only willing to pay minimum wage. With unemployment benefits coming, he decided to enroll in ECPI College of Technology and work part time on the weekends.

“I took it as my chance to focus on my education,” he said. About 100 employees, including Frazier, were called back earlier this summer, but Frazier said they were warned that

Refinancing completed on matured IHFC debt BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A commercial finance company recently closed on the refinancing of the matured loan for the International Home Furnishings Center. Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, a subsidiary of BB&T Corp., announced this week that it closed on the $103.2 million refinancing of the High Point Market’s largest showroom building. The IHFC features nearly 3.5 million square feet of showroom space. The refinancing of the loan reflects confidence in the long-term future of the IHFC, said IHFC President Tom Mitchell. Grandbridge’s Charlotte office arranged the

transaction between IHFC and NATIXIS Real Estate Capital, said Mike Ortlip, senior vice president with Grandbridge. “Grandbridge and NATIXIS had previously provided financing for IHFC, and – unique in today’s capital markets – the same members of both firms’ deal teams were still in place from the original financing,” Ortlip said. The original deal was closed in 2005, Grandbridge reports. Charlotte-based Grandbridge features an investor base that includes insurance companies, pension fund advisers, commercial banks and capital markets investors.

the work may not last. So when he was laid off a second time about a week ago, the shock wasn’t as jolting. “I handled it a lot better because I had been through it before,” he said. “Now I’m going to focus on my education again.” Acquiring new skills are an important aspect of finding a job, but so is preparing yourself for the reality of the job market, said Steve Vergamini of Greensboro, who attends Triad Job Search Network meetings on Tuesdays at Covenant United Methodist Church in High Point. “It’s tougher than you think out there,” said Vergamini, a former commercial lender who has been seeking employment for 18 months. “You think you’re ready for it, but you’re not.” Vergamini said he attends the job search meetings because many job seekers become discouraged if they don’t stay active. Glenn Wise, facilitator of the group, said the meetings average about 70 people in January but now average 40 people. Some of those people have found jobs, but many of them became discouraged and stopped attending, he said. “But you can’t sit at home on the computer looking for a job and doing nothing else these days,” Vergamini add-

GUILFORD COUNTY – Oak Hill Elementary School principal Patrice Faison said Thursday her staff is eager to move school performance forward with the help of the community. The school started 10 days earlier this year after Faison’s staff visited homes in the community. “Now that school has started, the building is electric with the feelings we have for the year,” Faison told the Board of Education. The changes are funded in part by a three-year school federal grant. Overall, the grant money will provide additional funds to provide more support for teachers, students and parents. “You have our commitment to reach our highest potential,” Faison said. “We want to continue our growth.” 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 longer school day by 45 minutes and year. “School does not stop at the school door,” Faison said. “We want to reach parents too.”

ed. “You just aren’t going to find the job that you’re looking for that way.” But positive things do seem to be happening on the job front, Vergamini said. He’s noticed more openings since January. “The year 2009 was virtually leadless for me,” he said. “It’s gotten a lot better. I thought it would take me six months to find a banking job in the Triad. It’s taken much longer, but I feel like I’m getting close to something. I feel like things are finally starting to get better.”

Priority One schools. The schools failed to meet expected growth standards on state tests. On the list are T.W. Andrews High School, Fairview Elementary, and Parkview Elementary. At Fairview Elementary, the focus will be on reading and building vocabulary. “We have made some good gains, but we have a ways to go,” said Fairview principal Rhonda Copeland. “We want to push our students to be their best.” Because the school improved its AYP score, students are returning, Copeland sad. “By January last year, 20 percent of our students had left,” she said. “We see some coming back now.” To help improve performance at the Academy at Central High School, the board approved seeking an 18-month, $154,000 drop out prevention grant to expand upon existing tutoring and enrichment programs and to start the Futures for Kids online career exploration tool and to support dual enrollment at GTCC. The academy’s 2010 graduation rate was 60 percent.

Oak Hill Elementary: The school met expected and high growth goals for 2009-10, but the composite Adequate Yearly Progress score was below 50 percent. Union Hill Elementary: As the district’s only low-performing school, Union Hill’s improvement plan will be presented to the Board of Education for approval on Sept. 23. Students returned to a new school last year after spending two years away at Allen Jay Middle School during construction. As many as 65 parents have signed up for free GED classes and English-language classes through a partnership with Guilford Technical Community College. There will be a technology focus too. Fifty computers will go home to 50 families as part of a program sponsored by one donor. The school had been in the lowperforming category. This year, just one school, Union Hill Elementary, is on the list, and is the target for reforms along with 10

Police: Shark sighting a practical joke SOMERSET, Mass. (AP) – A practical joker in Massachusetts has taken advantage of recent shark sightings and caused a scare with a fake fin. Police say about 50 people were drawn to a Somerset, Mass., cove on Wednesday night after someone reported

seeing a shark fin in the water. Police tell the Herald News of Fall River that several 911 calls came in to Somerset and Swansea police. Responding officers soon realized that the “shark” was just a piece of Styrofoam cut into a fin shape, wrapped in gray duct tape and

weighted down. There was no word on who pulled the prank. Several Massachusetts beaches have been closed this summer after shark sightings. Police cautioned that the joke could have caused a problem had there been a real emergency call.

Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iraq speech to signal Afghan focus VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With his Oval Office speech Tuesday night, President Barack Obama will signal a shift in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus from the Iraq War to the war in Afghanistan, his spokesman said Thursday. Administration officials have portrayed the 8 p.m. EDT speech as an important pivot point from a war that candidate Obama said should never have been fought to a conflict that President Obama sees as vital to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security.

KRISTINE KAISER: Obama should take the lead on the race issue. TOMORROW

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

Washington is selling out our Christian heritage We are hearing a lot about religion in the news today – like what is going on in New York concerning the mosque. While there is a great multitude of religions in the world today, America was not founded upon religion, but on the Bible, “The Word of God.” Our Constitution is based on Christianity. A quote from Thomas Jefferson – “the Christian religion is a religion of all others, most friendly to liberty, science and the freest expression of the human mind.” Suppose the writers of the Constitution had the mind of our present president and gotten the opinions of all the religious input into the country at that time, and had them incorporated in the Constitution? What kind of laws would we be living under now? When every man did that which was right, our laws were based upon the Christian faith. Joseph Story, an early U.S. Supreme Court justice, said: “Any attempt to level our religions and to make it a matter of state policy to hold all in utter indifference would have created universal disapprobation if not universal indignation.” Jefferson was the primary author of the Declaration of

Independence. He had this to say: “God who gave us life, gave us liberty, and can the liberties of a nation be though secure when we have removed their only firm basis; a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?” We have in Washington, D.C., today a bunch of cheap politicians who are selling our Christian heritage out for a mess of political pottage. Wake up church members! JAMES KESTLER High Point

Our problems only continue if incumbents remain I take keyboard and mouse in hand to rebut the Your View remarks of Jim Brigham on Aug. 18 (“What happens if the anti-incumbent wins seat?”). He has obvious disdain for “anti-incumbents” and for the Tea Party movement which he crudely

calls “Tea Baggers.” I take high offence at that term and its connotations! His letter was unluckily (for him) published directly over the excellent column from Thomas Sowell, who correctly attributed our current situation to the Progressives of the last century who, step by stealthy step, have been diluting and corrupting our Constitution through the courts and the Congress. Brigham would use the Constitution to beat Cathy Brewer Hinson over the head, but I am sure his leftist leanings, inferred from his Tea Party remark and his support of incumbent politicians, would support most of the changes made in contradiction to the tenants of the Constitution. As far as the ground zero mosque discussion goes, it is not a constitutional matter or argument that is raised. It is a moral, sensitivity and empathic issue on behalf of all those killed and injured at ground zero, their survivors and all those still working there. Even the president made the constitutional argu-

ment while completely ignoring the other issues involved, to his detriment, I must add. Brigham wrote, “If voters do respond to these calls, who will be our new leaders? That concerns me and would trouble the writer.” Who indeed? Professional politicians, of course, know just what they are doing? What makes them the end-all? Hinson has more experience than most of the members of Congress except in the area of corruption and politics. That would be a selling point for most of us, not the downside. PHILLIP R.

The leadership Johnson has demonstrated, particularly as he led major expansions over three and one-half decades at PTIA, culminating with a new runway and airport entrance interchange that helped bring the FedEx hub on line, spurred Henry Isaacson, chairman of Piedmont Triad Airport Authority, to declare that Johnson is “a monument of integrity” and Henry Isaacson to “give him an A-plus if I had to give him a report card.” While praising Johnson, Isaacson also pointed out why Johnson was so successful over the last four decades, noting, “He was nonpolitical, and he was always attentive to his job and very focused on what was in the best interest of the airport.” What more could one ask? Johnson had his challenges, including flat passenger traffic in recent years at PTIA, constantly working to recruit new airlines, dealing with a shortage of low-fare carriers, coping with the general state of the economy and being at a disadvantage in price competition with airports in Charlotte and Raleigh. He was successful in bringing HondaJet, Timco, Cessna and other tenants in addition to FedEx to the airport. All of that leaves big shoes to fill, quite a legacy itself.

Veterans Affairs has new online site to help our vets

ecretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki said in a statement: “I can think of no higher responsibility than ensuring that the men and women who have served our nation in uniform are treated with the care and respect that they have earned.” I believe these words should ensure all veterans that Gen. Shinseki means what he says. It is certainly more evident to me that the VA is now sincerely trying to make the system work much better for all veterans. I received information from the VA today about the latest online site: www.ebenefits. va.gov. This is an online resource that you can use to find and manage benefits – related information. Remember the ebenefits.va.gov. is available to you after all your information has been filed with the VA.; you must have your VA file number available. I know many veterans are reluctant to use and don’t know how to use online services, but most of us have family members that are skilled in using the computer. Our young grandchildren have been using the computer for a long time. I wish I was more knowledgeable. This new set-up known as eBenefits allows you to view the status of your open compensation and pension claims and monitor your claim payment history. Veterans can instantly determine eligibility for the VA Home Loan benefit or submit an application for a VA decision. There is a toll-free eBenefits customer support line at 1800-983-0937. Representatives are available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m Monday through Friday to help. The VA printed a summary of VA benefits recently and it makes this pledge to all veterans: • Treat you with courtesy, compassion and respect at all times. • Communicate with you accurately completely and clearly. • Provide timely service to you. • Make our services accessible to you. • Fully answer your questions, concerns and complaints. There are so many benefits now available, sometimes I wonder if veterans are aware of some of them. There is a pamphlet I have received recently that addresses the issues of

specially adapted housing and special housing adaptations for the disabled veteran. It is possible to receive a grant from the VA if a veteran is in a wheelchair or needs a bathroom updated to accommodate a disabled veteran. There are grants for special lighting, sliding doors, handrails, grab VETERAN’S bars, room addition to an existVIEWS ing house to store sensory aids provided by the VA’s prosthetic Stan and sensory aid service and to Spangle Sr. store exercise equipment. Most ■■■ important is that it must be medically feasible for the veteran to be able to reside in the house. The VA has design assistance for specially adapted housing available upon request, if any of these benefits are what you need to know more about call the VA at 1-800-827-1000. I want to make certain that all veterans who have special needs call the VA. They are there to help in whatever way they can. I want to do my part in getting the message out to our veterans that there is help available through the VA. The Disabled American Veterans organization is in need of volunteer drivers to help us get veterans to their medical appointments in Salisbury, Winston-Salem and Durham. The DAV Chapter 20 in Greensboro offers this free service to all veterans. You can call in your appointment date, time and place you need to go. Call 510-7508; there is a message on this line that gives you instructions. Help us by volunteering as a driver. Remember, volunteers are an enduring source of strength for the DAV. We are able to provide this service only because our volunteers were willing to stand up for veterans who stood up for all of us. We provided this free transportation to 1,920 veterans in the month of July. May God bless America and all other nations. Semper Fi! STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam. He’s a member of numerous veterans organizations.

Possible charges loom ahead for NY governor ALBANY, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A special investigation has concluded that Gov.

FLINT, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A man suspected in 18 attacks in three states, including five fatal stabbings, was ordered held without bond Thursday in one of the cases after being extradited to Michigan. Elias Abuelazam, 33, was arraigned by video in a Flint court on a charge of assault with intent to murder in connection with a July 27 stabbing of a 26-year-old Flint man. Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said he expects to file homicide and attempted homicide charges in other cases soon. Prosecutors asked for a $10 million bond, citing the severity of the attacks and concern that Abuelazam, who is Israeli, is a flight risk. He was arrested on Aug. 11 at HartsfieldJackson Atlanta International Airport as he was about to board a plane for Tel Aviv. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of 14 incidents of murder and assault with intent to murder. Five people are dead. The rest faced death and are seriously injured,â&#x20AC;? Leyton told the judge in asking for the high bail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is not a citizen of the United States. The court should do all it can to make sure he stands trial in Genesee County where he ran rampant, created havoc and attacked innocent citizens.â&#x20AC;?

Hunt, Holliman laud results of program

Gary Lounsberry was appointed dean of the new Adult, Professional and Graduate Studies Division at John Wesley College.

LEXINGTON – Former N.C. Gov. Jim Hunt and state Rep. Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson, visited Smart Start of Davidson County Thursday, praising the efforts of the school readiness program. “I was the governor who started Smart Start with the help of a lot of the other people,” Hunt said. “The school people said we need it. The church people said our children need it. The parents, the business people, they all helped us created it. Hunt said as governor from 1993 to 2001, he built Smart Start, looked out for it, protected it and increased funding. He said if he was the “father of Smart Start,” Holliman has been the leader of it for more years than he was involved with the program. “I know how much he

Former N.C. Gov. Jim Hunt emphasizes a point Thursday during his visit to the Smart Start of Davidson program. has worked for it,” the former governor said. The program brings educators into children’s homes to help them build skills they need to succeed in school. The program is a local version of Parents as Teachers, a national program that offers information, support and encouragement to parents with young children to promote children’s healthy growth and development. Hunt spoke after several mothers shared their

positive experiences about Smart Start. “I’m so proud to have this presentation about parents as teachers,” he said. “... All of you parent educators are so wonderful because you are right, the most important teachers for children are not in a child care center, it’s at home, where children are at home most of the time ... A lot of parents need help.” Maria Callahan of Lexington is a parent whose son, Kurt, went through

the program. Her son, now 13 years old, started the program when he was a month old. “The program really means that if we hadn’t had it with our background, we would have had a hard time with things to do for him,” she said. “It brought information on what we need to do for him and all. It helped with all the reading. They brought us all kinds of materials. We did things they told us, and it worked. They were

there when we needed them.” Smart Start of Davidson County Executive Director Linda Leonard said the program has been in Davidson County since 1994. Working with children from birth to 5 years old, Smart Start of Davidson County has helped more than 500 children by providing more than 4,000 home visits to increase their chances of succeeding in school. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Troopers focus on speeders as school begins BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Law enforcement officers said they will continue to be out in force watching for speeders and encouraging young drivers to slow down during the new school year. North Carolina State Highway Patrol troopers are mounting an education and enforcement blitz that will target each high school in Guilford County during the first two weeks of the school year, which began Wednesday. In addition to aggressive enforcement during morning and afternoon school hours, the Highway

Patrol has offered to make troopers available to speak to students about traffic safety, said 1st Sgt. Scott Holland. He said the main problems troopers see related to teenage drivers are excessive speed, inattention and general inexperience behind the wheel. Educating young drivers about the importance of not texting or engaging in other distractions on the road is an ongoing challenge, he added. “I can’t say we’re writing a lot of citations because it’s hard to actually catch it. Some of our collisions I would say are attributed to that,” said Holland. “In the dig-

ital age, with radios, telephones, texting and all that stuff, it’s critical that they have all their attention on their driving.” High Point police said traffic officers focus on school zones – where the posted speed limits are generally 25 mph – not just at the beginning of the year but throughout the non-summer months, closely watching for speeders and other traffic violations around the beginning and close of classes each day. “We try to get across the need to slow down, be aware of the speed limits in the school zones and watch out for the children,” said Lt. Barry Roberts, supervi-

sor of the police department’s Traffic Unit. Roberts said officers have issued speeding citations this week around schools on Johnson Street, Montlieu Avenue, Centennial Street, Barrow Road and Phillips Avenue. Each school has signs marking the special speed zones and some are marked with flashing yellow lights. A conviction for speeding in a school zone carries a $50 fine, a $136 court-cost fee, and sanctions can be assessed against the driver’s record.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Communities In Schools of Lexington/Davidson County will hold a fundraising event this weekend in hopes of offering a day of fun for families. The nonprofit will hold its first “Big Toy Day” 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Davidson County Airport, 1673 Aviation Way, Lexington. Admission is $5, and children 10 and under are admitted at no charge. All proceeds will benefit CIS of Lexington/Davidson County. “We wanted something to be family friendly, an event for kids to do,” said Christina Howell, executive director of CIS of Lexington/Davidson County. “Of course, school is starting this week, so we thought it would be a good week-

The event

also will have face painting and balloon animals for the children. “I think some of the older people might be interested because you can actually ask questions about things,” Howell said. “I don’t have a

Leaving college brings end to sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parental subsidies

ear Abby: Our son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jason,â&#x20AC;? has decided to leave college with only two semesters left in order to pursue his love of river guiding and outdoor programs. While he was in school, his father and I paid for his cell phone, health and car insurance and his rent because we wanted his focus to be on his studies. We also paid his tuition. Jason has a part-time job. Now that he has decided to leave school, our view is that he should find another job and assume these expenses. My husband and I disagree about who should pay for any future education Jason wants. If he goes back to school, his tuition will be paid for, says Dad. I think we would be enabling him if he thought we were always standing by to foot the bill. We are heartsick that Jason has made this decision, but his mind is made up. Any advice from you would be appreciated. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Unhappy Mom in Mississippi Dear Unhappy: I agree that Jason should shoulder the responsibility for his living expenses. However, do not make any hard and fast decisions about his tuition while you are still angry at him. This

Dear Abby: Do you know what a speech-generating device is? A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a specialized computer that speaks for people who are unable to communicate verbally. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a group of campers from Camp Courage who use speech-generating devices to talk. Sometimes people are uncomfortable with our unique way of communicating. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to share some ideas to help them understand: 1. Please be patient. It takes us a little bit longer to get our messages out than it does you. 2. Feel free to ask questions. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend to understand us if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. 3. Do not think we are stupid. Have you ever tried to communicate using one of these things? 4. If it looks like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having trouble, ask if we need help. 5. Treat us like adults

No perfect lab test exists D

ear Dr. Donohue: I enclosed your recent column on PSA. I also have enclosed an article that sets forth the extremely low accuracy of the PSA and describes the highly accurate EPCA-2. I had a high PSA number, and my doctor was poised to poke and cut until I showed him the EPCA-2 article. He then informed me he could do the test in about two minutes, which he did. It came back negative. Why did you not offer more on the statistical failure of the PSA and not even mention the EPCA-2? – S.

BLONDIE

B.C.

No one, including me, represents the PSA (prostate specific antigen) as being a foolproof test for the detection of prostate cancer. The sensitivity of the PSA test – the reliability that the test will be positive if cancer is present – is in the range of 70 percent to 80 percent. The specificity of the test – the reliability that the test will be negative when there is no cancer – is 60 percent to 70 percent. It’s far from a perfect test. There is no perfect lab test for any illness. There is no perfect human being. The PSA is the best screening test we have. Gland enlargement, gland inflammation, infection and even bike riding can elevate the PSA. Alternate tests can improve on the weaknesses of PSA. The increase in PSA value over time – PSA velocity – refines the test’s accuracy. Freeto-bound PSA is another

way of improving the PSA’s predictability. Bound PSA is PSA atHEALTH tached to other Dr. Paul blood subDonohue stances. ■■■ A low percentage of free PSA points to cancer. The EPCA-2 test (early prostate cancer antigen-2) you referred to is not yet on the market. It holds the promise of greater accuracy. I checked with the office of the researcher who designed this test, and was told it may be another year before it appears for general use. PSA testing leads to over- and under-diagnosing of prostate cancer. A positive test triggers the need for a prostate biopsy. A negative test lulls doctor and patient into thinking all is well when it might not be. All the same, the test has served a useful purpose. Dear Dr. Donohue: My wrist on the thumb side hurts terribly and has hurt for 10 days. I didn’t injure it. Advil has helped the pain, but it’s still there. I am getting worried. Do you have any idea what this is? – G.P. Let me have you perform a test. Fold your thumb onto your palm. Then fold your fingers over the thumb. Bend your wrist down and toward the little finger side of the hand. If this hurts,

it’s a good bet you have de Quervain’s (duh curVEINS) tendonitis. It’s an inflammation of tendons controlling thumb movement. It comes from overuse, usually from gripping actions where the thumb is tightly holding onto an object like a tennis racquet. Ice the painful area for 15 minutes three times a day. If ice brings no relief, switch to heat. Get a thumb splint to rest the thumb. You can find one at a local drugstore. Continue with Advil if it’s helping. If you don’t have a marked improvement in a week, you must see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. A cortisone injection often brings quick relief. Dear Dr. Donohue: For several years my wife had unpredictable, short episodes of a “pounding heart.” She had EKGs, but never during an episode. They were normal. Her heart doctor ordered a LifeWatch monitor that records heart action for three weeks. It showed that my wife had attacks of atrial fibrillation. She had to have a pacemaker and is now feeling better than she has in several years. – E.F. Long-term cardiac monitoring has been a godsend for people who have transient attacks of heart symptoms, like your wife did. Your wife’s experience informs many people of a device that could be diagnostically lifesaving for them.

--Man charged with trying to break into Hilton home LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Prosecutors in Los Angeles say they have charged a man arrested outside Paris Hiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home with attempted burglary. The district attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said Thursday it filed one felony count against 31-year-old Nathan Lee Parada. Parada is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail. His arraignment is expected later in the day. Authorities say someone carrying two big knives banged on Hiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s window. She posted a photo of the Tuesday arrest on Twitter and described it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;scary.â&#x20AC;? It was not immediately clear whether Parada had an attorney. He could face up to six years in prison if convicted.

Preparing to go home SPECIAL | HPE

Kate Thornton lies in her bed at Duke University Medical Center.

Five-year-old Kate Thornton’s cancer has returned, and her prognosis is poor BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HOMASVILLE – Five-yearold leukemia patient Kate Thornton leaves the hospital today, but she won’t be going home. Not yet, at least. Following what doctors believed to be a successful bone marrow transplant three months ago, Kate’s cancer has unexpectedly relapsed, and doctors say there’s little else they can do, except try to keep her comfortable. Hospice care has been arranged. “The doctors just don’t think there’s anything else they can do,” says Kate’s grandfather, Jerry Williamson. “They’re just trying to control her pain now.” Kate’s parents, Joe and Susan Thornton, this week made the difficult decision not to resume chemotherapy treatment, which doctors said would not save Kate’s life and likely would mean she would die at the hospital. In an e-mail to friends and supporters Wednesday night, Williamson and his wife, Glenda, shared the sad news. “As we understand it,” they wrote, “they’re only giving (Kate) a very short few weeks to live, but her mom and dad want her to be able to come home and be with her family for what time she has left.”

For more information, visit the website or call Carolina Cancer Services at (336) 249-7265. Kate, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia two years ago this week, is scheduled to be discharged from the hospital today. The problem, however, is that Kate will not be able to spend what time she has left with her immediate family, because the Thorntons’ home is too small and ill-equipped for her medical needs, such as a wheelchair and hospital bed. Instead, she and Susan will stay with the Williamsons, who live in Trinity, while Joe and Kate’s four siblings will continue living at the family’s home in Thomasville. Unless... Unless a local support group called Kisses 4 Kate can come up with the funds to buy the Thornton family a new house where they can all live together. The group has selected a home

SPECIAL | HPE

Kate Thornton was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. in the Ledford South community developed by Windsor Homes – and Windsor Homes has even agreed to let the family move in almost immediately – but the group needs to raise enough funds to persuade a bank to lend the money for the purchase of the house. The list price of the house is just under $200,000. “We don’t have time to play,” says Kat Manzella, who is Kate’s godmother and one of the organizers of Kisses 4 Kate, along with family friend Katye Oliver. “We need cash now, so we can go

to the bank and get them to back us, and then the builder will let us move them in.” Kisses 4 Kate already had been working to build or buy a home for the Thornton family, but Kate’s relapse – and her poor prognosis – have created a sense of urgency. “We have the house picked out, and we have furniture for Kate’s room and the master suite for Joe and Susan,” Manzella says. “We need living room furniture, and the main thing we need is cash – everything else we have. We even have a moving truck to move stuff from their house, and we have volunteers lined up to do the moving. We just need some really nice people out there to write us some checks. This is doable – hard, but doable.” Since Kate’s diagnosis, she has captured the hearts of the Triad community, serving as the poster child for American Red Cross blood drives and for the United Way of Greater High Point. Numerous fundraisers have been held for the Thornton family, but the current fundraiser may be the most important one of them all. “We’ve got to try to give Kate her family back,” Manzella says. “They deserve to all be together.”

Spoken-word artist Nikki Beck (pictured) of Jamestown will be a featured performer in the two-day MoSoul Poetry Festival, sponsored by Reasons 2 Rhyme and taking place today and tomorrow in Greensboro. She will be one of 10 poets from across the East Coast scheduled to perform. After doing school performances during the day today, the poets will perform in the Black Box Theatre at the Greensboro Cultural Center for “MoSoul at Midnight,” a special blend of late-night poetry for a mature audience. Tickets are $10. On Saturday, the poets will perform from 3 to 7 p.m. at Festival Park, located at 200 N. Davie St. in downtown Greensboro. There will also be live music and vendors selling food, jewelry, clothing and more. Admission to this performance is free.

Health magazine publishes High Pointer’s story ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

IGH POINT – Sindy Martin, owner of Smartin-Up Your Professionalism in High Point, won first place in the “Youthing Essentials Inspirational Story Contest,” and her winning story will be published in Prevention magazine. Participants were asked to share their inspiring stories about breakthroughs for better health, which have led them to increased vitality and, conse-

quently, more productivity in their business and career. Martin’s story, titled “Yes, You Need a Physical,” tells about the Martin experience she had in 2004 when she and her husband, Bob, decided to join a gym. During a routine physical required to join the gym, it was determined that Bob had five blocked arteries and needed

immediate bypass surgery. The procedure was scheduled for the next morning. That night before the surgery, Bob shared a secret. “As we lay in bed that night holding each other, Bob said there was something he had never told me,” Sindy wrote. “He said his mother had died in the hospital recovery room after the same operation. We both cried ourselves to sleep.” Bob’s surgery went fine and, as Sindy’s story concludes, “Bob

SAME STORY “Same old story,” North said. “The man chucks 620 points trying for 650.” Joe had 10 tricks – five trumps, two diamonds, a club and two ruffs in dummy – unless his ace of clubs was ruffed. After ruffing the third spade, Joe should take the top diamonds and ace of clubs and concede a club. He wins West’s trump return and crossruffs for the contract.

CROSSWORD

Friday, August 27, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Alexa Vega, 22; Sarah Chalke, 34; Alex Lifeson, 57; Barbara Bach, 63 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Map out a plan that enables you to save, pay down debt and find ways to make your money grow through practical investments. You’ll have connections to your past that need adjusting. Recognize what you have to offer and what is available in return. This year is about partnerships and money. Your numbers are 4, 6, 19, 28, 35, 36, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t give in to bullying. Redirect your energy and apply your talents to encompass the things that you enjoy and know that you can do well. Love is in the stars, so work on your current relationship or find someone new. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There is too much going on behind your back to know how to react or to make a decision. Listen and observe until you have a better grasp of what’s real and what’s fiction. Believing what others say will only lead to mishaps. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This is not the time to argue when you should be focusing on getting things finished that have been left undone. An opportunity will arise from something you volunteer to do. Plan for romance late in the day. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t learn the hard way. Anger will not solve anything or help you get your way. Be willing to meet halfway to avoid ongoing problems. Relationship issues are evident if you don’t work hard to please. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Love and relationships are highlighted and should be your main concern. Communication, travel and learning will all lead to interesting interaction. A commitment or promise should be put in place. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll face financial or personal limitations due to unanticipated responsibilities. Overspending, overindulging and overdoing will all set you back. You may want to have fun but there will be a price to pay if you aren’t responsible. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Now is the time to question what you are doing personally, professionally and financially. You may have to change the way you do things to lessen your stress. Don’t allow anyone to dictate what you should and shouldn’t be doing. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tie up whatever loose ends you left dangling. Getting behind schedule can make the difference between failure and success. Push hard to maintain the status quo and to stay within the deadlines that have been set. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are quite capable of drumming up your own business ideas and putting them into play. Personal changes will benefit a relationship that means a lot to you. Make a promise to someone you love and you won’t be disappointed in the outcome. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Protect your cash and avoid joint ventures. Love may be on the line and it will be important that you size up the situation and take appropriate action before you end up being taken for granted. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Live, love and be happy. A partnership will help you save and also make extra cash. Don’t be shy when it comes to expressing the way you feel and what you want to see happen in the future. Someone from your past will surprise you. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may have to make some changes in order to accommodate someone you care for. An opportunity may appear out of nowhere but, before you decide to jump in, make sure there is substance to what’s being offered. Don’t make a snap decision when time is on your side. ★★★

BRIDGE

When I watched today’s deal at the club, South was Joe Overberry, who thinks it’s nobler to go down in pursuit of an overtrick than to make his bid. Joe’s leap to four hearts was bold, especially if he was going to misplay as usual. Joe ruffed West’s third high spade – East threw a club – and saw a chance for a treasured overtrick. He led a diamond to dummy’s ace and a club to his queen. If the finesse had won, Joe would have taken 11 tricks; but West took the king and led another high spade, on which East got rid of his last club. When Joe tried to cash the ace of clubs next, East ruffed for down one.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 8 7 3 2 H K 9 4 D A 8 7 3 C 7 2. Your partner opens two clubs (strong, artificial), you respond two diamonds, he bids two spades and you raise to three spades. Partner cue-bids four clubs, you reply four diamonds and he tries four hearts. What do you say? ANSWER: Your hand is not bad: You have four trumps and a possible ruffing feature in clubs. Continue with a cue bid of five hearts to show your king. You’ll hope partner will bid six spades next. South dealer N-S 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.

TOUGH AT HOME: Report indicates one in 10 face foreclosure. 5D

UNC investigation expands CHAPEL HILL (AP) – The investigation of North Carolina’s football program has expanded into possible academic misconduct involving players and a woman who also has worked as a tutor for coach Butch Davis’ son, school officials said Thursday night. Athletic director Dick Baddour declined to identify the players or say how many may be involved, and he refused to specify what the possible violations may have been, saying only that they involved “a student tutor and student-athletes on the football team. “We are looking into improprieties that existed outside the classroom,” Baddour said. “That’s about as close to that as I can get.” The announcement came nine

days before the No. 18 Tar Heels’ opener against No. 21 LSU in Atlanta, and roughly two months after the NCAA began an investigation into whether two key players – defensive tackle Marvin Austin and receiver Greg Little – received improper benefits from agents. Defensive line coach John Blake’s longtime friendship with California-based agent Gary Wichard also has drawn the NCAA’s interest. Joint interviews conducted by NCAA and school investigators during that probe led them to a player who “raised an issue that we felt like deserved further consideration on our part. “It led us down a road that brought us to what we’re talking about,” Baddour said.

While the investigation is centered on the football program, Baddour said that “we will certainly use the opportunity to take a complete look at everything that we’re doing in the academic support program.” Davis declined to identify the tutor in question except to say she was one of the five his family had hired since their 2007 arrival in Chapel Hill to serve as an academic coach and advisor for his teenage son. “This is someone that obviously worked with our son,” Davis said. “To be honest with you, I think we’re really surprised and possibly disappointed, but there’s been no revelation as to exactly the extent or what has actually transpired.” Baddour declined to provide additional details about the tutor, ex-

cept to say that “the person was in (the university’s) employ. When we found out about the issues, the tutor was not in our employ.” Baddour said the university has assembled a team to investigate the academic questions. While there is no timetable to resolve that aspect of the probe, “it is likely that the review would extend beyond the start of the season,” he said. If that happens, he said the school will decide if those players will play against LSU, and Baddour said that decision could come as late as gameday. “The investigation now has two prongs, so I want to caution you against making assumptions if student-athletes don’t play,” Baddour said.

Bucs stop Red Raiders for 28-12 win BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – After two quarters, the T. Wingate Andrews defense went to the locker room Thursday night pleased with the way it held Charlotte Country Day’s offense to a single touchdown. Unfortunately for the Red Raiders, the second half became an exhibition for Morgan Roberts and the Buccaneers’ offense. The 6-foot-4, strongarmed quarterback helped Charlotte Country Day pull away from a 7-6 halftime lead and roll to a 28-12 victory at Simeon Stadium. Roberts finished 8-for-15 passing for 158 yards and a touchdown while adding 11 carries for 59 yards and another score. “I didn’t think we played bad, but every time we stopped them on a third-and-short, we’d get a penalty,” Andrews coach Rodney McKoy said. “It came down to which team made the fewest mistakes. We’ve got to quit being like Don Knotts out there.” Twice Andrews had the opportunity to swing the momentum into its favor. Each time, the Raiders committed costly errors. Mark Johnson returned a kickoff 98 yards for an apparent touchdown with 2:44 remaining in the opening

HIT AND RUN

---

omewhere, the big-league baseball schedule maker must be smiling. Actually, I imagine several folks combine to produce the Major League Baseball regular-season schedule on a yearly basis. They hit a home run with this year’s National League East schedule. The Braves and Phillies appear locked in a division race for the ages. They’ll get to settle things head-to-head with six meetings in the final two weeks of the season. That’s fantastic. Atlanta visits Philadelphia for a threegame set from Sept. 20-22. The Phillies and Braves close the regu-

High Point University has named Alicia Balado the new head cheerleading coach, assistant athletic director April Wines announced. Balado brings over 20 years as a cheerleading coach and competitor. Balado started the cheerleading program at Coral Glades High School in Coral Springs, Fla., in 2004 and built the team into one of the best in the nation. She is married to HPU assistant basketball coach Mike Balado. The two have twins, Aiden and Addy, born in 2009.

quarter, only to have it brought back with a flag for a block in the back. In the fourth quarter, Andrews had a drive stall while trailing 21-12 when Marquez Swinton was intercepted while launching a pass for the end zone from the 16yard line. Matters were complicated in the third quarter with a special teams blunder that turned out to be the game-breaker. While punting from inside his own 20, Tiquan McClain had his kick blocked by Pete Showalter and was able to recover it only after the ball dribbled to a stop at the 2. “We’re shooting ourselves in the foot,” McKoy said. “We get a touchdown, then give a touchdown up. We make mistakes when we can least afford to, like the blocked punt. We could ill-afford that one.” Three minutes following the interception of Swinton that eliminated the Raiders’ last real chance to score, Roberts hooked up with Lee Harrison for a 45-yard TD with 5:07 left in the contest to add the finishing touches.

WHO’S NEWS

lar season with a three-game showdown at Turner Field Oct. 1-3. That’s how it should be. In case you’re curious, and I was, here is the rest of the Braves’ schedule. Atlanta plays host to the Marlins for three games this weekend, then welcomes the Mets for four. The Braves hit the road for three-game sets at Florida and Pittsburgh from Sept. 3-8, play host to the Cardinals and Marlins for a pair of three-game series Sept. 9-15, visit the Mets Sept. 17-19, play at Washington Sept. 24-26 and host the Marlins Sept. 27-29. Philadelphia, meanwhile, visits San Diego for three games this weekend, then goes to Los Angeles for three games and stops in

Colorado for a makeup game on Sept. 2. Then it’s seven straight at home – three vs. Milwaukee and four against Florida. The Phillies play three-game series at the Mets and Marlins before their three-game home series against Atlanta. That starts a nine-game homestand that includes three against the Nationals and three against the Mets. Philadelphia hits the road for the season’s final week, with three games at Washington before the finale in Atlanta. This promises to be an epic stretch drive to October. I can’t wait!

Ragsdale-Dudley highlights Week 2 BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

JAMESTOWN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; What has become one of the Triadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marquee matchups for football fans returns tonight. The marquee outside Dudley High School, however, might need a warning for those eagerly anticipating a top-notch showdown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think both of us lost quite a bit,â&#x20AC;? said Ragsdale coach Tommy Norwood, whose Tigers visit coach Steven Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Panthers at 7:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think both teams are kind of searching for an identity right now. I probably shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak for Steve, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to see whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to lead us and trying to get better.â&#x20AC;? Ragsdale romped to a 26-2 record over the last two seasons, with both losses coming to Dudley. In 2008, the

Panthers prevailed 26-10 in the third round of the playoffs en route to the 3AA state championship. Last season, Ragsdale won the Week 2 matchup 18-8 before falling 13-7 at Dudley in the third round of the 4A bracket. Dudley won 12 straight contests after its regular-season defeat to the Tigers, falling short of a repeat appearance in the title game when Asheville Reynolds notched a 9-8 victory in the state semifinals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been awfully important the three times weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d played them,â&#x20AC;? Norwood admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the fans, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it what it is as much as anything.â&#x20AC;? What can fans expect tonight? Ragsdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young defense struggled in a 21-14 win at Southern Guilford last week, and the offense made a number of mistakes that kept the Storm in it to the very end.

Dudley, meanwhile, had the â&#x20AC;&#x153;huh?â&#x20AC;? game of the week: a 6-2 victory over Carver that included numerous penalties, turnovers and key starters exiting due to cramps. Another week of practice should have helped both teams improve. And while wins are quite nice in these nonconference matchups, improvement remains the focus as Ragsdale chases a Piedmont Triad Conference crown and Dudley battles for Metro honors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the big thing is you want to come out of it with some confidence no matter what the final score is,â&#x20AC;? Norwood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just trying to get better. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a young football team in a lot of places. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to worry more about being Ragsdale than who weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing right now.â&#x20AC;?

Panthers expect special atmosphere at Simeon BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Virginia Union coach Michael Bailey expects a special atmosphere to permeate Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Furniture City Gridiron Classic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have two of the most storied programs in the CIAA meeting,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said by telephone on Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coaching, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably drive down there to see it.â&#x20AC;? Part of the excitement will surround the return of Winston-Salem State to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. With the game at Simeon Stadium serving as the home opener for the Rams, Bailey is concerned that his Panthers might be swept away opening on the road.

VIRGINIA UNION AT A GLANCE

---

Location: Richmond, Va. Founded: 1865 Enrollment: 1,700 Nickname: Panthers Colors: Maroon and steel Coach: Michael Bailey (second year) 2009 record: 6-4, 5-2 CIAA (tie, 1st) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably the crowd is the biggest concern for me,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a CIAA championship atmosphere. I think people are looking forward to Winston-Salem State coming back into the CIAA and seeing what they are all about. Our team seems to be solid at this time. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for

a big game. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to keep the crowd out of it. If we take care of business on our end, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be all right.â&#x20AC;? Union was solid enough to tie for first place in the league and post a 6-4 record last year. The Panthers led the league in rushing offense and scoring defense. WSSU coach Connell Maynor expects Union to pound the ball again. Bailey would not concede that the Panthers will be a run-oriented team after averaging 192 yards per game last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we proved to be last year, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not saying thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we will be this year,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things change. We ran the ball last year, no doubt. But, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going take whatever presents itself.â&#x20AC;? The Panthers held teams to 16 points per game last season, but return just

four starters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; three of them defensive backs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and lost three four-year starters at linebacker to graduation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a couple linebackers in there with competition under their belts and three senior defensive ends,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some new guys, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a wholesale changeover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to put pressure on people and make things happen. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to let you pound away on us. We try to be creative with speed instead of having guys who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get there and make plays. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in making reads and plugging holes. We try to make a play.â&#x20AC;? He wants the Panthers to make enough plays to take the crowd out of the game on Saturday. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

Fisher takes reins at FSU TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jimbo Fisher has an edge as he kicks off a new era at Florida State: The Seminolesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new head coach helped recruit most of his players the last four years. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take him long to find out how good a job heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done. After a warmup against lower-division Samford (Ala.), the Seminoles travel to Oklahoma and then host Brigham Young before beginning their 2010 Atlantic Coast Conference schedule. Fisher is replacing the iconic Bobby Bowden, who departed after chalking up 377 career wins. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second most in major college history behind Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joe Paterno. Rather than give Bowden a chance to get back on top one last time, former Florida State president T.K. Wetherell replaced him in January to give Fisher a shot at a fast start with a team both coaches believe could hit the jackpot in 2010. Only a come-from-behind Gator Bowl victory over West Virginia in Bowdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finale avoided his second losing season in 34 years at Florida State. The Seminoles, instead, finished 7-6 for the third time in four seasons. They also went 0-for-Florida, losing to traditional intrastate rivals Miami and Florida and newcomer South Florida. Bowden and Fisher, who spent three years as offensive coordinator and coach-in-waiting, partnered to build for the 2010 season. Florida Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense and kicking games are geared to be prolific. The defense, if improved over last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismal showing, is the key to a run at the ACC title and a BCS bowl game. The offensive line, perhaps Florida Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best ever, returns intact, led by guard Rodney Hudson and center Ryan McMahon, both seniors. Juniors Andrew Datko and David Spurlock also return as starters. Christian Ponder, who was playing as good as any quarterback in the country when he went down with a shoulder injury last November, is back for his senior year. Florida State is promot-

Fisher also will try to find playing time for redshirt sophomore EJ Manuel. He accounted for four touchdowns and 1,013 yards offense while leading the Seminoles to a 3-1 record as Ponderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement. While the 6-2, 220pound Ponderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career numbers are modest, NFL scouts are projecting him as a likely firstround pick. Fisher said Ponderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character and academic achievements â&#x20AC;&#x201C; besides an undergraduate degree heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already earned a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in business administration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make a statement. Junior Bert Reed returns after catching 60 passes for 710 yards last season. Rodney Smith, a 6-6, 220-pound sophomore, likely will slip into Fortsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting position, Fisher said. Fortsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure also will mean more opportunities for junior Taiwan Easterling, sophomore Willie Haulstead and freshmen Kenny Shaw and Christian Green. Florida State looks just as solid at running back. After a spirited competition, 5-8, 186pound Chris Thompson, a sophomore, has gone to the top of the depth chart at tailback. He beat out 5-11, 190-pound junior Jermain Thomas who started last year. A pair of sophomores, cornerback Greg Reid and place-kicker Dustin Hopkins, anchor the special teams.

Ready to get their kicks From left: Piedmont Soccer Association players Melissa Mickey, Lauren Griffith, Sydney Evans, Charlotte Dorn, Alex Finger, Matthew Fatyol and Blake Armstrong are among the participants gearing up for the 25th annual Furniture City Classic soccer tournament in High Point on Saturday and Sunday. The tournament hosts more than 135 boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teams from North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia at five venues throughout the city. More than 135 teams across three states will attend this annual event, bringing more than 7,000 people to the High Point area and adding an estimated $2 million to the local economy. The Piedmont Soccer Association contributes 12 boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer teams to the tournament, with players ranging in age from 9 to 18. The tournament is held across the city at five different venues. Games begin at 9 a.m., on Saturday and wrap up around 5 p.m., on Sunday. The event raises funds for PSA to make improvements to the Phillips Park Soccer Complex on Hedgecock Road in High Point, such as goal netting, benches and emergency medical equipment. In addition to games at Phillips Park, games also will be played at Morehead Field, West End Park, Westchester Country Day School and Brentwood Park.

Woods shoots 65 for his best round of the year PARAMUS, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Yes, that really was Tiger Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name atop the leaderboard. In his first tournament since his divorce, Woods finally looked like the No. 1 player in the world Thursday at the Barclays when he opened with a 6-under 65, his lowest score of the year, to share the lead with Vaughn Taylor. It was his first time leading after any round on the PGA Tour since the Tour Championship last September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to hit the ball flush again,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been missing all year.â&#x20AC;? He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss much at Ridgewood Country Club. Woods hit all but one fairway and putted for birdie on all but two holes. And while he hit his driver only twice,

PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about the Phillies that brings out the best in the Houston Astros. Wandy Rodriguez pitched seven sharp innings, Carlos Lee homered and the Astros beat the Phillies 5-1 Thursday to complete their first four-game sweep in Philadelphia in 11 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no idea why Houston dominates us like this,â&#x20AC;? Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always happy to see them leave town.â&#x20AC;? The Astros have owned the Phillies in recent years. They are the only NL team with a winning record (30-16) against Philadelphia since 2004. The Phillies fell three games behind idle Atlanta in the NL East and

trail San Francisco by a half-game in the wildcard standings. Rodriguez (10-12) allowed one run and five hits, striking out six. The left-hander is 7-2 with a 1.79 ERA since June 24.

His golf hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been very good either, which is why Woods began the FedEx Cup playoffs 112th out of 125 players who qualified. He was so low down the list that he was first to tee off under a sunny sky at Ridgewood, the first time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done that in his PGA Tour career. The 65 was his lowest score in 46 rounds, dating to a 62 in the BMW Championship last year. There were 14 players who shot 67. Phil Mickelson, with his ninth chance in the last four months to replace Woods at No. 1 in the world, made only one birdie for a 72.

Liberty men, women picked first in Big South cross country poll SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

CHARLOTTE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Liberty University menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross country squads have been chosen first in the Big South Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual preseason polls by the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head cross country coaches, the conference office announced on Thursday. The Flames, who are looking to win their sixth straight Big South Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross country title, were a unanimous selection for the top spot with 100 points in the voting. Liberty, led by 2009 national champion Sam Chelanga, finished ahead of High Point, which picked up 90 points. The Panthers placed three runners in the top 10 to finish second at the 2009 Big South

they were two of his best shots of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including on the 291-yard fifth hole, where his drive landed pin-high and settled 15 feet away. Was it just a coincidence that his game showed up so soon after his marriage was dissolved? Woods and Taylor both played in the morning, when the greens were smooth and the conditions were only breezy. They had a one-shot lead over Adam Scott, Brian Gay and Ryan Palmer. Scott played in the afternoon, where a gust of wind played tricks on him at the final hole and led to bogey. The last time Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was atop the leaderboard after any round of any tournament was when he won the Australian Masters on Nov. 15, less than two weeks after his life

a three-game sweep. The Dodgers came into Milwaukee with a 3-14 mark on the road in the second half but rekindled their playoff hopes with their first three-game sweep at Miller Park since May 23-25, 2003. The Brewers lost their fourth straight. Leading 4-1, the Dodgers broke the game open in the seventh with three runs off starter Yovani Gallardo (11-6) and reliever Todd Coffey.

Championship. In third-place was VMI with 79 points, followed by Coastal Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 65 points and UNC Ashevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 59 points to round out the top five. Winthrop received 54 points to land in the No. 6 slot, while Gardner-Webb garnered 35 points for seventh.

Report: 1 in 10 face foreclosure

WASHINGTON (AP) — One in 10 American households with a mortgage was at risk of foreclosure this summer as the government’s efforts to help have had little impact stemming the housing crisis. About 9.9 percent of homeowners had missed at least one mortgage payment as of June 30, the Mortgage Bankers Association said Thursday. That number, which is adjusted for seasonal factors, was down slightly from a record-high of more than 10 percent as of April 30. In a worrisome sign, the number of homeowners starting to have problems with their mortgages rose after trending downward last year. The number of homes in the foreclosure

Swiss halfway done giving info to US GENEVA (AP) — Swiss tax authorities say they’re halfway to fulfilling agreement with Washington to settle a tax evasion dispute involving wealthy Americans and bank UBS AG. A statement Tuesday said the Swiss have handed over information on about half the 4,500 account sought by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

4 companies control wireless market WASHINGTON (AP) — A government report finds that mergers and acquisitions over the past decade have left just four big carriers in control of 90 percent of the wireless market, thus making it harder for small and regional companies to compete. A study from the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, also found that despite the consolidation, consumers are benefiting from better wireless coverage and prices that are half

Oil prices rise for second day NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices increased for a second day after six straight days of declines, as the dollar fell and investors latched onto a government report that new requests for unemployment benefits fell sharply last week. Benchmark oil for October delivery added 97 cents to $73.49 on the Nymex.

DILBERT

process fell slightly, the first drop in four years. More than 2.3 million homes have been repossessed by lenders since the recession began in December 2007, according to foreclosure listing service RealtyTrac Inc. Economists expect the number of foreclosures to grow well into next year. The number of Americans missing payments and falling into foreclosure has followed the upward trend in unemployment, which has been near double digits all year and has shown no sign of dropping soon. “Ultimately the housing story, whether it is delinquencies, homes sales or housing starts, is an employment story,” Jay Brinkmann, the trade

group’s top economist, said in a statement. “Only when we see a consistent increase in employment will we see an increase in sales and starts, and a sustained improvement in the delinquency numbers.” There was some modestly encouraging news. The percentage of mortgage borrowers receiving foreclosure notices fell slightly to 4.57 percent in the Aprilto-June quarter. That’s down from 4.63 percent in the January-to-March period and the first drop in four years. And the percentage of loans receiving their first notice of foreclosure also dipped. That fell to 1.1 percent in the second quarter from 1.2 percent in the first quarter.

New jobless claims drop WASHINGTON (AP) — New requests for unemployment benefits fell sharply last week, the first decline in a month and a hopeful sign after a raft of negative economic reports. New claims for jobless aid dropped by 31,000 to a seasonally adjusted 473,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Still, claims remain much higher than they would be in a healthy economy. Employers are reluctant to hire as economic growth appears to be slowing. The drop comes after

a steep rise the previous three weeks that sent claims to their highest level in nine months. Those increases raised fears that businesses were starting to layoff more workers. Even with last week’s decline, the four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose to 486,750, the most since November 2009. The report is “mildly encouraging” but should be treated with caution, said Doug Porter, an economist at BMO Capital Markets, because the weekly claims report is highly volatile.

Mortgage rates hit low of 4.36 percent NEW YORK (AP) — Mortgage rates fell to the lowest level in decades for the ninth time in 10 weeks, as concerns grow that the economy is weakening. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for a 30-year fixed loan was 4.36 percent this week, down from 4.42 percent last week. That’s the lowest since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1971. The average rate on 15year fixed loan dropped to 3.86 percent from 3.90 percent the previous week. That’s the lowest on records starting in 1991. Rates have fallen since spring as investors shifted money into the safety of Treasury bonds, lowering their yield. Mortgage

rates tend to track those yields. The low rates have fueled borrowers to refinance their home loans. Refinancing is at its highest level since May 2009 and made up 82.4 percent of all new loan activity. However, low rates haven’t budged home sales, Those have been stymied by high unemployment, slow job growth and strict credit standards, and have dropped sharply since the expiration of home-buying tax credits in April. To calculate the national average, Freddie Mac collects mortgage rates on Monday through Wednesday of each week from lenders around the country. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a given day.

Caution about economy hurts stocks NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell Thursday after early gains from a better report on jobless claims faded. The Dow Jones industrial average closed below 10,000 for the first time since early July. The Dow lost 74 points, having been up as much as 45 earlier. The market has been trading in a back-and-forth pattern in recent weeks as many investors remain unconvinced that the economic recovery will hold. Stocks have been on a generally declining trend in August after charging ahead in July. A bevy of poor indicators on the economy, especially home sales, pierced an optimistic mood brought on by strong earnings reports the month before. The Dow has lost ground in five of the past six trading sessions, and has shed 430 points over that time. The market enjoyed a brief reprieve from its malaise early Thursday from an encouraging sign on the job market. The Labor Department reported that first-time claims for jobless benefits fell last week after three straight weekly increases. The Dow fell 74.25, or 0.7 percent, to 9,985.81. The Dow had traded below 10,000 several times this week, but hadn’t closed below that level since July 6. Broader market barometers also fell. The Standard & Poor’s 500 fell 8.11, or 0.8 percent, to 1,047.22.

Dell says 3Par accepts its buyout bid SEATTLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dell Inc. said Thursday that data-storage maker 3Par Inc. has accepted its raised buyout bid of $1.52 billion, after the computer maker topped an offer from rival Hewlett-Packard Co. HP and Dell, among the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest personal computer makers, are looking at 3Par as a way to build up their â&#x20AC;&#x153;cloud computingâ&#x20AC;? businesses, which involve delivering software, data storage and other services to customers over the Internet. The companies want 3Par to help keep data-storage costs down because the company has technology

that doles out storage space on the fly. Dellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new offer is $24.30 a share in cash, up from its $18-per-share offer, or about $1.13 billion, on Aug. 16. Rival HP had countered with an offer of about $1.5 billion on Monday, or about $24 per share.

new buyers by offering more sophisticated PCs with ever-lower prices. The cost of parts, meanwhile, has increased this year, putting even more of a squeeze on profits. Cloud computing holds the promise of richer profits for technology

providers because many companies arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buying their own computer servers for certain tasks anymore. Instead, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying to have software they would have stored on those machines delivered to them over the Internet.
