Davidson County annual report reflects gains after two decades of losses BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

LEXINGTON – If you want to know how the erosion of a traditional industry due to offshoring can burden a community, Davidson County may serve as a poster child for the topic. Cities such as Thomasville and Lexington have been devastated during the past decade as American-based furniture manufacturers shut down longtime furniture factories and moved production to low-cost foreign locations, such as China, and the impact of that economic shift was reflected in figures released Tuesday at the Davidson County Economic Development Commission annual meeting. County economic developers actually recorded a solid year amid tough times in 2009 expanding the county’s business base, reported EDC Executive Director Steve Googe during the meeting at the Sapona Country Club. Davidson County had $207.9 million in new and expanding industry announcements last year, the best in the Piedmont and sixth-best in the state. New and expanding industries in the county led to announcements of 1,360 new jobs, fourth-best in the state, the EDC reports. “We’ve all been struggling with the economy, but investment in 2009 was the best since we’ve been keeping records,” Googe told county

But those gains in 2009 are set against the backdrop of manufacturer and job losses during the past 20 years as furniture companies that supplied paychecks for generations moved offshore. County furniture manufacturing employment declined 82 percent from 8,806 in 1990 to 1,603 last year, EDC figures show. Another target of offshoring – the textile industry – recorded a 91 percent drop in county manufacturing employment during the past two decades, from 4,781 in 1990 to 425 last year. The annual average number of unemployed people in the county increased nearly four times from 2,601 in the year 2000 to 9,953 last year, the

Pre-Market continues to show growth BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – What was once a behind-the-scenes event in the furniture industry continues to attract more buyers and exhibitors each year, according to organizers of Pre-Market. The High Point Market Authority announced that a record number of buyers and exhibitors are signed up to participate in the fall Pre-Market, an invitation-only event that offers a sneak peek at products to top players in the furniture industry about a month before the High Point Market.

Last month, the market authority announced that three more home furnishings companies pledged commitments to the upcoming Pre-Market. That raises the number of sponsors from 22 in March to 25 for the fall show, set for Sept. 13-14. On Tuesday, it was announced that a record number of buyers – 201 from 80 companies – have signed up for the event so far. Registration is still open. “Buyers are continuing to register for the fall Pre-Market, with requests coming in almost daily,” said Brian Casey, president and CEO of the High Point Market Authority. “The

response has been fantastic, and we look forward to a very strong event.” Pre-Market existed in the industry for many years and allowed major buyers to make commitments on products before they were unveiled at the High Point Market. The event experienced a rebirth four years ago when the market authority began promoting it, tracking the number of attendees and recruting participants for it. Kevin O’Connor, chairman of the market authority’s board of directors and president and CEO of Samson Marketing, has been credited

with the revitalization of the event, but he said he also wants to keep the event small and intimate to benefit participants. “We’ve been through a challenging period in this industry, but it has also been a time of closer collaboration between manufacturers and retailers,” O’Connor said. “Pre-Market offers our 25 sponsor exhibitors the unique opportunity to work closely with buyers to fine-tune their offerings and to create success on retail floors with those product line-ups.”

Obama: US combat in Iraq over, ‘time to turn page’ WASHINGTON (AP) – Fiercely opposed to the war from the start, President Barack Obama formally ended the U.S. combat role in Iraq after seven long years of bloodshed, declaring firmly Tuesday night: “It is time to turn the page.” Claiming no victory, he said the nation’s most urgent priority now must be fixing its own sickly economy. From the Oval Office, where George W. Bush first announced the invasion that would come to define his presidency, Obama addressed millions who were divided over the war in his country and around the world. He said the United States “has paid a huge price” to give Iraqis the chance to shape their future — a price that now includes more than 4,400 dead, tens of thousands of troops wounded and hundreds of billions of dollars spent since March 2003. In a telling sign of the domestic troubles weighing on the United States and his own presidency,

Obama turned much of the emphasis in a major war address to the dire state of U.S. joblessness. In his remarks of slightly less than 20 minutes, only his second address from the Oval Office, Obama looked directly into the TV camera, hands clasped in front of him on his desk, family photos and the U.S. and presidential flags behind him. Even as he turns control of the war over to the Iraqis – and trying to cap one of the most divisive chapters in recent American history – Obama is escalating the conflict in Afghanistan. He pledged anew that the United States would keep up the fight in that war, the longest since Vietnam. And in Iraq, for all the finality of Obama’s remarks, the war is not over. More Americans are likely to die. The country is plagued by violence and political instability, and Iraqis struggle with constant shortages of electricity and water. Obama is keeping up to 50,000 troops in Iraq for support and coun-

terterrorism training, and the last forces are not due to leave until the end of 2011 at the latest. As the commander in chief over a war he opposed, Obama took pains to thank troops for their sacrifice but made clear he saw the day as more the marking of a mistake ended than a mission accomplished. He spoke of strained relations with allies, anger at home and the heaviest of wartime tolls. “We have met our responsibility,” Obama said. “Now it is time to turn the page.” To underscore his point, Obama said he had telephoned called Bush, whom he had taunted so often in the 2008 campaign, and he prominently praised the former Republican president in the heart of his speech. “It’s well known that he and I disagreed about the war from its outset,” Obama said. “Yet no one could doubt President Bush’s support for our troops, or his love of country and commitment to our security.”

Aging vets’ costs concern co-chair of president’s deficit commission RALEIGH (AP) – The system that automatically awards disability benefits to some veterans because of concerns about Agent Orange seems contrary to efforts to control federal spending, the Republican co-chairman of President Barack Obama’s deficit commission said Tuesday. Former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson’s comments came a day after The Associated Press reported that

diabetes has become the most frequently compensated ailment among Vietnam veterans, even though decades of research has failed to find more than a possible link between the defoliant Agent Orange and diabetes. “The irony (is) that the veterans who saved this country are now, in a way, not helping us to save the country in this fiscal mess,” said Simpson, an

ACCURACY...

Simpson declined to say whether the issue would become part of his work on Obama’s panel examining the nation’s debt. He looked to Congress to make a change. Sen. Daniel Akaka, a Hawaii Democrat who currently chairs the VA committee, said Tuesday he will address the broader issue of so-called presumptive conditions at a hearing previously set for Sept. 23.

Palestinian kills 4 Israelis on eve of peace talks JERUSALEM (AP) – Palestinian gunmen opened fire Tuesday on an Israeli car in the West Bank and killed four passengers on the eve of a new round of Mideast peace talks in Washington. The Islamic militant group Hamas claimed responsibility. Assailants firing from a passing car riddled the vehicle with bullets as it traveled near Hebron – a volatile city that has been a flash point of violence in the past. Some 500 ultranationalist Jewish settlers live in heavily fortified enclaves in the city amid more than 100,000 Palestinians. One of the victims was pregnant, said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. Upon arriving in Washington for this week’s talks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack and said “terror will not determine Israel’s borders or the future of the settlements.�

If we’d known then what we know now ... Are you better off today than you were two years ago? If you knew then what you know now, would you still vote the same way? There’s a reason that Obama went from being a popular candidate to being a toxic president. He’s burning out our economy by repeatedly insisting that every issue is an emergency, or “crisis” justifying urgent passage of his legislation and policies. He’s oversteering the country to the left. Obama’s overspending, overtaxing, over-regulating and overextending the national debt and deficit have put the nation on the road to insolvency rather than the road to recovery. Have you witnessed the chaos in Greece lately? It very well could happen here. America is suffering from low employment as employers are cautious to hire due to uncertainty over Obama’s latest round of regulations and what the cost will be. America is also suffering low growth, low business, low innovation, low competition and low certainty about the future. No one knows the full potential for Obama’s passed and proposed policies to harm the economy. This is producing low investor and consumer confidence. This is choking economic recovery. But never fear. Our anointed one is diligently working hard on our behalf. In fact, he has worked so hard since taking office that he exhausts himself to the point that every 12 weeks he needs a vacation. I guess it’s reasonable to take six vacations in a little over a year and a half. A little down time to play golf and he’s ready for the next crisis that comes along, either real or imagined.

hen it was announced late last week that a Canadian furniture company was going to build a 53,000-square-foot manufacturing, corporate and client-service-center facility in High Point, where unemployment still sits at 11 percent, one would expect to hear plenty of cheers! And we did. Unfortunately, we also overheard some what’s-the-big-deal comments because NLnovalink, an office furniture manufacturer, initially would hire about 30 people, then plans to build its local employment base to 75. Apparently, those who appeared ungrateful were remembering how many people were employed by the larger manufacturers during furnituremaking’s heydays in High Point during most of the 20th century. Economic conditions being what they are, 30 to 75 new jobs are most welcome in High Point, especially when the company moving in (1) will house its USA headquarters here and (2) did not apply for or receive financial incentives to relocate here. The city, however, did commit to making improvements to Heron Place and making it a public street to accommodate NLnovalink’s truck traffic. But that’s an infrastructure improvement that the general public also can use if needed and is not really in the vein of what we’ve come to call incentives packages. We heartily welcome NLnovalink to the Furniture Capital of the World, offer praise for the company adding to our manufacturing base and look forward with enthusiasm to the building going up near the intersection of Mendenhall Oaks Parkway and Heron Place.

Why were mayor and Council so determined to put an unqualified person in town manager role and then allowing her to hire a planner and others, thus increasing taxes since 2002 by eight cents in this small town where the average income is $30,000 to $50,000. Retirees are not even close to this! Aug. 10, I picked up minutes. Billings told me “I haven’t had a raise in two years!” When I questioned the retirement benefits, noted in minutes, given to her

and voted on by Brock Thomas and Georgia Nixon-Roney, being raised from 1.5 percent to 4.5 percent, I was told by Mayor Volz who was in Billings’ office, this is how government works and if I didn’t like it, they’d raise the tax rate to $.47 like Kernersville! He further stated that I should stop writing articles about Jamestown and write about unions, etc., since they were the problem! Doesn’t look that way to Jamestown taxpayers/residents, now does it? One law that needs to be changed at local, state and federal level is long overdue. Politicians/ workers should stop drawing any benefits and retirements they don’t pay for! Why should our future generations pay for these salaries and benefits when most can’t afford to keep a roof over their heads?

The White House says President Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim. What do you think about Obama’s religious beliefs? In 30 words or less (no name, address required), e-mail us your thoughts to letterbox@hpe.com. Here are two responses: • Obama is not a Christian and headed for hell with other Islamic believers. Only one way to Heaven: be born again! Obama don’t know what this means. • I saw live video where Obama stated he was raised in the Islamic faith and was still a Muslim. He also quoted from the Quran three times. Christian? No.

concentration camp. There is no question that Muslims have a right to build a mosque where they chose to. The real question is why they chose that particular location, in a country that covers more than 3 million square miles. OPINION If we all did everything that we have a legal right to do, we could Thomas not even survive as individuSowell als, much less as a society. So ■■■ the question is whether those who are planning a ground zero mosque want to be part of American society or just to see how much they can get away with in American society? Can anyone in his right mind believe that this was intended to show solidarity with Americans, rather than solidarity with those who attacked America? Does anyone imagine that the Middle East nations, including Iran, from whom financial contributions will be solicited, want to promote reconciliation between Americans and Muslims? That the president of the United States has joined the chorus of those calling the ground zero mosque a religious freedom issue tells us a lot about the moral dry rot that is undermining this country from within. In this, as in other things, Barack Obama is not so much the cause of our decline but the culmination of it. He had many predecessors and many contemporaries who represent the same mindset and the same malaise. There are people for whom moral preening has become a way of life. They are out in force denouncing critics of the ground zero mosque. There are others for whom a citizen of the world affectation puts them one-up on those of us who are grateful to be Americans, and to enjoy a freedom that is all too rare in other countries around the world, even at this late date in human history. They think the United States is somehow on trial, and needs to prove itself to others by bending over backwards. But bending over backwards does not win friends. It loses respect, including self-respect. THOMAS SOWELL, a native of North Carolina, is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

SHIRLEY DELONG lives in Jamestown.

New York mosque plan is not an act of reconciliation

he proposed mosque near where the World Trade Center was attacked and destroyed, along with thousands of American lives, would be a 15-story middle finger to America. It takes a high IQ to evade the obvious, so it is not surprising that the intelligentsia are out in force, decrying those who criticize this calculated insult. What may surprise some people is that the American taxpayer is currently financing a trip to the Middle East by the imam who is pushing this project, so that he can raise the money to build it. The State Department is subsidizing his travel. The big talking point is that this is an issue about “religious freedom” and that Muslims have a “right” to build a mosque where they choose. But those who oppose this project are not claiming that there is no legal right to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center. If anybody did, it would be a matter for the courts to decide – and they would undoubtedly say that it is not illegal to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center attack. The intelligentsia and others who are wrapping themselves in the Constitution are fighting a phony war against a straw man. Why create a false issue, except to evade the real issue? Our betters are telling us that we need to be more “tolerant” and more “sensitive” to the feelings of Muslims. But if we are supposed to be sensitive to Muslims, why are Muslims not supposed to be sensitive to the feelings of millions of Americans, for whom 9/11 was the biggest national trauma since Pearl Harbor? It would not be illegal for Japanese Americans to build a massive shinto shrine next to Pearl Harbor. But, in all these years, they have never sought to do it. When Catholic authorities in Poland were planning to build an institution for nuns, years ago, and someone pointed out that it would be near the site of a concentration camp that carried out genocide, the Pope intervened to stop it. He didn’t say that the Catholic Church had a legal right to build there, as it undoubtedly did. Instead, he respected the painful feelings of other people. And he certainly did not denounce those who called attention to the

THREE VIEWS

andages are racist. It’s the truth. Not the Hello Kitty Band-Aids or the shiny ones with Winnie-thePooh. No, I’m talking about those plain, ol’ adhesives, the ones of that oh-so-common boring tint of beige, discreetly labeled, “Flesh color‌Blends with skin.â€? But to whose flesh does the label refer? Certainly not my friend from Bolivia. It wouldn’t match her skin. Not my friend from Uganda or my friend from Guatemala. Not my friend from Pakistan or Burma. No, I think you know the only skin-tone that can match that particular shade. I wish I could throw my hands in the air, scoff and complain, “How could they be so ignorant?â€? But truth be told, I’m just as guilty. I never noticed the subtle bigotry, the quiet exclusion. As a matter of fact, that boring beige color blends quite well with my skin. Perhaps I’m being too dramatic over what was obviously a myopic mistake by certain bandage companies. They had no intention – I dearly hope – of being so narrowminded. But this simple misunderstanding represents a much larger problem, a long pattern of discrimination against others, based on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or religion. You may be thinking, “Well, Thomas, history shows that we have rapidly grown into a more open-minded society. Look at the past hundred years: women’s suffrage, the Civil Rights Movement, and more recently the decision to overturn Proposition 8.â€? Yes, outwardly we have developed into a much more tolerant society, but inwardly, what has changed? Maybe we display a convenient tolerance for diversity, force a smile when we need to please the PC patrol. But the feeling, the actual desire to coexist, to accept and love each other, is still hidden behind the disparaging subtext. The flagrant hate crimes that plagued the 1960s may be decreasing, but the subtle prejudice, the

subconscious discrimination is just as potent as tear gas, just as callous as fire hoses. I caught a glimpse beyond society’s façade of political corTEEN VIEW rectness just a few weeks ago at a camp Thomas called Anytown. The Gooding weeklong experiâ– â– â– ence, conducted by the National Conference for Community and Justice, confronted the quiet bigotry that society has secretly pushed aside. It provided an opportunity for nearly 60 students from across the Triad to understand the impact of prejudice on our community. And from this experience, our lives were irreversibly changed. Anytown inspired us; it uplifted us and gave us hope that one day our world will truly embrace acceptance. But most importantly, it empowered us with a newfound sense of determination, a spine-stiffening courage to actually change, to make a difference in our world. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they do not know each other; they do not know each other because they do not communicate; they do not communicate because they are separated.â€? If, like my fellow Anytown campers, we choose to end this hatred, dispel this fear, and bridge this separation, we have to act, to celebrate diversity. We can overcome the bigotry that has so long plagued our society, that has wounded our world. But we no longer can ignore it. We no longer can cover it up. Such a wound is far too deep for a simple fleshcolored bandage. THOMAS GOODING is a junior at High Point Central High School. For more information about Anytown, visit www.nccjtriad. org.

Stormwater projects in Southside nearly finished. 1A BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The Southside stormwater improvement construction work is the latest project on the city’s lengthy to-do list. Bond money approved by voters in 2004 is funding stormwater improvement projects that were prioritized within seven drainage basins around the city where the most significant flooding and other problems occur. The city is using the $15.4 million in bond funds to pay for as many of the projects as possible. Some have been completed, and others are still on the drawing board. The Southside project is one of several within a large basin that include planned work to mitigate flooding problems in the vicinity of the High Point Fire Department headquarters at S. Elm Street and W. Grimes Avenue. “We’re in the process now of designing and finalizing a system that goes up around the fire station headquarters,

The next area to get attention will be the basin that takes in the N. Hamilton Street/ Montlieu Avenue area. because they have significant flooding on Grimes and Elm,” said Richard McMillan, the city’s assistant public services director. “As soon as we get some of this in place, we’re going to try to add on to this contract and go up Grimes and pick up some water at the fire station and try to alleviate some of their flooding.” The next area to get attention will be the basin that takes in the N. Hamilton Street/Montlieu Avenue area. The City Council has approved a contract for engineering design work for numerous projects there, which is about 80 percent complete, McMillan said. In addition, the city is getting close to acquiring the necessary state permits. Planned stormwater improvements there will address flooding problems around Oakwood Municipal Cemetery and involve replacing culverts under streets, including E. Farriss Avenue and Forrest Street. “There’s a lot of work to be done in that basin, and I think a lot of folks will be pleased when we get that done as well,” McMillan said. Another phase of stormwater improvements slated for attention at some point involve the area around High Point Regional Hospital and W. Ray Avenue, but it’s unclear when work might begin in that area. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Shankle named Business Woman of the Year BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Chamber of Commerce’s 2010 Business Woman of the Year Award Luncheon was filled with things often enjoyed by women – a fashion show, sweet treats and talk of the importance of female leadership in the business community. But the event was centered around recognizing a woman who “has been and has continued to be a leader, not only to herself, but to her community,” said chamber board Chairman Owen Bertschi during the presentation. Lisa Shankle, general manager of Showplace Properties, which includes Showplace, Showplace West and the Hamilton Wrenn Design District, received the 2010 Business Woman of the Year Award at the event. She has worked as a property manager in High Point for more than 30 years. A Thomasville native, Shankle was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 20 years old and has battled a flesh-eating disease.

Bertschi said she was deserving of the award because she continued to work tirelessly in the city despite her setbacks. “I was really, truly caught off guard,” Shankle said about receiving the award. “I have been through a lot. Especially at this point in my career, with

Shankle also serves as past chair of the High Point Convention and Visitor’s Bureau and a member of the Downtown Improvement Committee and the City Project’s Development Board. Jason Scott, manager of Belk at Oak Hollow Mall, conducted a fall fashion show at the event using prominent figures from the community as models, including High Point businessman Ed Price and Judy Ray, assistant to High Point University President Nido Qubein. The chamber’s 24th annual Small Business Awards ceremony, held earlier this summer, also turned out to be a celebration for women when the four major awards, including Small Business Person of the Year, were presented to women for the first time in the chamber’s history. “If you were at our small business awards ceremony, you know everyone who won was a woman for the first time. You are special to our community,” Chamber of Commerce president Tom Dayvault told the crowd. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Feds OK Monroe toll road MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MONROE – The long-awaited Monroe Connector-Bypass reached a major milestone and has received final federal approval of its route, the N.C. Turnpike Authority announced Tuesday. The move means the authority can proceed with seeking permits for the 19.7-mile toll road, establish a list of properties that will need to be purchased because they are in the projects’ way, proceed with plans to sell bonds to finance the work and finalize the process for awarding the massive construction contract. The road will link Interstate 485 with eastern Union County to help ease congestion on U.S. 74, which is one of the few thoroughfares in North Carolina that run from the coast to the mountains. “This (approval) lets us move forward,� turnpike authority Chief Engineer Steve DeWitt said. “It’s a pretty big deal.� The current estimate for the project’s construction cost ranges from $750 million to $825 million, but those figures are expected to change, and final costs should be known shortly before construction starts in December. The road may open in late 2014, although that target could change too.

FORT BRAGG (AP) – The mysterious deaths of two infants at the same home within three months of each other has prompted a probe into eight other unexplained infant deaths at the Fort Bragg Army base since January 2007, the military said Tuesday. At a news conference at the base, military leaders say they don’t suspect foul play in any of the deaths, and are conducting tests of the air, building materials and other elements at the on-base housing where the deaths occurred. So far, though, investigators have not found any link between the deaths since the probe was ordered earlier this summer, according to Christopher Grey, spokesman for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command. “There are no commonalities that we’ve found thus far,� he said. The vast base, adjacent to Fayetteville, is home to the U.S. Army Airborne and Special Forces. About 45,000 people live on the base, including about 6,200 families, according to Col. Stephen Sicinski, the garrison commander. The probe began after investigators noted the deaths of two infants from different families in 2009 at the same address. The first child died in April of last year. Another family moved into the home after the death, and their infant died in July. A third infant who lived at that address died in 2007, but the death is believed to have occurred at a baby-sitting service off the base. Neither the identities of the children nor the addresses where they died were disclosed by the Army. Grey said that information will remain confidential during the investigation. The house where the two deaths occurred is vacant and will remain unoccupied until the causes are determined, according to Brig. Gen. Michael Garrett, chief of staff of the 18th Airborne Corps. “We cannot explain two deaths of children at one address, and that’s really the problem we’re trying to solve,� Garrett said.

Cops: Doctor gets stuck in chimney, dies BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – A doctor involved in an “on-again, off-again� relationship apparently tried to force her way into her boyfriend’s home by sliding down the chimney, police said Tuesday. Her decomposing body was found there three days later. Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac, 49, first tried to get into the house with a shovel, then climbed a ladder to the roof last Wednesday night, removed the chimney cap and slid feet first down the flue, Bakersfield police Sgt. Mary DeGeare said. While she was trying to break in, the man she was pursuing escaped unnoticed from another exit “to avoid a confrontation,� authorities said. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

FBI: It’s unlikely 2 men plotted terror WASHINGTON (AP) – The FBI probe of two men arrested in Amsterdam after suspicious items turned up in one of the men’s luggage is finding they were probably not on a test run for a future terror attack, a U.S. official said Tuesday, casting doubt on earlier suggestions even as Dutch authorities held the pair on suspicion of conspiring to commit a terrorist act. The U.S. does not expect to charge the men, a law enforcement official said. The two men arrested in Amsterdam – both traveling to Yemen – did not know each other and were not traveling together, a U.S. government official said.

The officials spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss the investigation. The Amsterdam arrests came at a time of heightened alert less than two weeks before the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. U.S. officials have also been concerned about Americans traveling to Yemen to join al-Qaida. Before officials began casting doubt on the test run theory, FBI agents were chasing down leads in Detroit, Birmingham, Ala., and Memphis, Tenn., a law enforcement official said. “These two passengers have not been charged with any crime in

the United States and we caution you against jumping to any conclusions,� Homeland Security spokeswoman Amy Kudwa said Tuesday. U.S. officials had earlier said they were investigating whether the two men had been conducting a dry run for a potential terrorist attack. But as the probe evolved, officials said that appeared unlikely. Both of the detained men missed flights to Washington Dulles International Airport from Chicago, and United Airlines then booked them on the same flight to Amsterdam, the U.S. government official said. The men were sitting near each other on the flight, but not together.

Open-minded wife draws the line at lap dances ear Abby: My husband and I generally agree on most major issues. We agree to disagree on the minor ones. But there is one issue I think is major and he thinks is minor – strip clubs. He sees nothing wrong with having women give him lap dances. He compares it to seeing a movie – it’s “entertainment.� Abby, I’m not a prude. I wouldn’t care if he went to a strip club for a bachelor party, and I don’t object about his extensive porn collection. But it makes me feel he isn’t getting what he needs from me when he goes to a strip club by himself. I expect my husband to understand and respect my feelings. Is that too much to ask, or am I being unreasonable? – That’s Entertainment? in Salt Lake City

NEW YORK (AP) – The number of U.S. children in foster care has dropped 8 percent in just one year, and more than 20 percent in the past decade, according to new federal figures underscoring the impact of widespread reforms. The drop, hailed by child-welfare advocates, is due largely to a shift in the policies and practices of state and county child welfare agencies. Many have been shortening stays in foster care, speeding up adoptions and expanding preventive support for troubled families so more children avoid being removed from their homes in the first place. The new figures, released Tuesday by the Department of Health and Human Services, show there were 423,773 children in foster care as of Sept. 30. That’s down from 460,416 a year earlier and from more than 540,000 a decade ago. California had the biggest one-year drop – from 67,703 to 60,198. Just eight years ago, the state had more than 90,000 children in foster care. Florida, Illinois, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania are among other major states that have lowered their numbers sharply over the decade.

When our surrogate was 41⠄2 months pregnant, I became pregnant. Our second child is a boy. I have been open about our story, trying to give other infertile couples hope. However, I have noticed that our daughter’s ears perk up when I start talking. She often talks about when she was in my tummy, and when her brother was in there, too.

MYRTLE GROVE, La. – The federal government’s point man on the Gulf oil disaster says work to remove the 300-ton piece of equipment that failed to stop the massive oil spill could be delayed until the weekend or longer because of rough seas. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said Tuesday that seas were 6 feet or higher and have to be closer to 4 feet for the work to be done safely. The process of removing the blowout preventer involves taking off the cap that stopped oil from gushing in midJuly. Removing the failed blowout preventer and replacing it with a new one would clear the way for completion of a relief well and the final, permanent plugging of the well with mud and cement.

Q

uestion: I heard about a program called “The 10% Campaign� that is helping folks address the issue of local food. Can you tell me more about this program? Answer: The 10% Campaign is an effort to encourage North Carolina consumers to spend at least 10 percent of their food dollars on foods from local sources. Through the campaign website (www.nc10percent.com) consumers and business may pledge to spend 10 percent of their food dollars locally, purchasing products from area farmers and food producers. Campaign participants will receive weekly email reminders to report how much money they spent on local food. The website will show consumers how their dollars grow when spent on local foods. North Carolinians spend about $35 billion a year on food. If each person spent just 10 percent on food locally – roughly $1.05 per day – approximately $3.5 billion would be available in the state’s economy. The Center for Environmental Farming Systems and Cooperative Extension are partners in the campaign. The extension, based at North Carolina State and N.C. A&T State universities, serves all the state’s 100 counties and the Eastern band of the Cherokee. CEFS is a partnership of N.C. State, N.C. A&T State and the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Sciences that provides research, outreach and education on sustainable education and promotes local food economies in North Carolina. If you are unsure of where you can buy local foods or which restaurants use local foods in their kitchens, Cooperative Extension’s local foods coordinator will help connect you to

Doctor presents view on pap smears

D

ear Dr. Donohue: A patient brought me your column on stopping Pap smears after a hysterectomy. You cited the recommendations of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. However, these directives are only recommendations. A woman’s sexual practices are a most important consideration. I have women in my practice who are widowed or divorced, some in their 70s and 80s, and they participate in sex with one or more older men without the benefit of condoms. They are at risk of human papillomavirus transmission, which causes cancer of the cervix, vagina and anus. Currently there is no test for human papillomavirus in males, and most men have never heard of it. They may be transmitting it to their partners. The Pap smear is one test for HPV in women. The men of today are no more enthusiastic about condom use than our grandfathers were. The burden for disease prevention is on women. I would appreciate it if you would address this issue in your column. Men and women need to know that human papilloma virus is ubiquitous. If people could see the fear and pain caused by testing for and treating HPV in 12- and 13-yearolds, and if they realized the lack of responsibility and accountability of males in refusing to use condoms, the new vaccines for this virus would be enthusiastically used for their children.

rently, they are not. Until that time, every woman of every age HEALTH needs to make an Dr. Paul individual Donohue decision ■■■ with her gynecologist about the time to discontinue Pap smears. In conclusion, I want to share a story about Ann, 84, and John, 87 (not their real names). They met in an assisted-living facility where John had been very popular with the ladies. They were married two years ago. Last year Ann came in for her annual exam. Her Pap smear demonstrated early changes of infection with the virus, and her DNA test was positive for the high-risk type of papillomavirus. – C.R., MD Doctor, you make a strong case that the decision to continue Pap smears ought to be something decided by a woman and her doctor. The recommendations for stopping Pap smears were for women who had had a hysterectomy with removal of the cervix. As you say, recommendations are only recommendations. They are not federal laws. Dear Dr. Donohue: My eye doctor, a glaucoma specialist, recommends a procedure done with a laser to reduce pressure in my yes. My father was blind, and I

am a bit nervous about anything having to do with my eyes. Can you expand on this procedure for me? – J.K. Glaucoma is a rise of fluid pressure in the eyes (not blood pressure). The increased pressure compresses the optic nerve, the vision nerve. Unless it’s relieved, blindness results. Eyedrops often can do the job. However, lasers are now frequently used as first-line treatment. The laser beam opens the channel for fluid drainage, somewhat like unplugging a clogged drain. That fixes the problem without having to turn to medicines. It’s a very safe procedure. Dear Dr. Donohue: Seven or eight years ago, I was told I had a right bundle branch block, but not to worry about it. I never understood what it is all about or how it affects me. Please explain. – B.S. The right and left heart bundles are cables of tissue, like the cables that bring electricity into your home. The heart cables bring the electric impulse generated by the heart’s pacemaker to the lower heart chambers, the ones that contract and pump blood out of the heart. Your right cable has a short-circuit. The impulse still reaches the right ventricle, but it is delayed a tiny bit. It takes a detour. When there is no obvious heart disease, a right bundle branch block is not a threat to health or a long life.

Summer ends with a bash Benefit organizers hope to educate parents about SIDS BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

A

SHEBORO – By the time Jennell Cardin’s third child, Naylen, came along, she and her husband thought they had this parenting thing all figured out. They thought wrong. On Nov. 12, 2006 – one day shy of 2 months old – the couple’s baby girl died of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS. She and her husband, Trent Chriscoe, were devastated and stunned. “This was our third child,” says Cardin, of Asheboro, “so we kind of thought we had it down – thought we knew what to do and what not to do. But what we now realize is that we didn’t truly know what SIDS was, and we had actually increased our risk of SIDS by choices we made. We were just horrified to know that, and we felt it was our responsibility to educate other families.” Thus was born Naylen’s Hope Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating families about SIDS and helping eliminate it. The organization offers peer

Kids love a clown at End of Summer Bash. counseling for families that have lost a baby to SIDS; provides them with copies of “The SIDS Survival Guide”; leads seminars focusing on SIDS awareness and risk reduction; and provides safe cribs, playpens and bassinets for families that cannot afford them, among other services. On Saturday, Naylen’s Hope will host its annual carnival-type event, the End of Summer Bash,

to raise funds for the organization’s services. The event will feature games, giant inflatables, live music, pony rides, the “Asheboro Idol” singing competition and much more. “This is a big block party that we do on Labor Day weekend,” Cardin says. “It’s a great alternative for those who can’t afford to go out of town for the weekend.” Last year’s event raised approximately $8,000 for Naylen’s Hope, according to Cardin. The funds are critical to help support the organization’s services, such as the CribShare program, which loans safe cribs, playpens and bassinets to needy families. “We can reduce the risk of SIDS by 400 percent if there’s a safe sleep area,” Cardin says. “We distribute about five cribs a week throughout Davidson, Guilford and Randolph County, and there’s a waiting list.” The items are donated used, or Naylen’s Hope purchases them. The organization will be collecting cribs, playpens and bassinets Saturday at the End of Summer Bash. According to Cardin, SIDS awareness has grown in recent years, but there’s much more work to be done.

The End of Summer Bash, a fundraiser for Naylen’s Hope Foundation, will be held Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., in front of Premier Powder Coating, 1948 N. Fayetteville St., Asheboro. The carnival-type event will feature games, giant inflatables, live music by the local band Almost Famous, the “Asheboro Idol” singing competition, pony rides, arts and crafts, food, prizes and more. Almost Famous will play from 1 to 4 p.m., and the “Asheboro Idol” competition will begin at 4. Santa Claus will arrive at noon for children’s storytime, followed by photo opportunities. Contestants for “Asheboro Idol” must be at least 16 and must supply their own family-friendly CD track. There is no entry fee, and the firstplace prize is $100. To preregister or for more information, call (336) 940-7104 or e-mail info@ naylenshope.com. Admission to the End of Summer Bash is free, but there will be a charge for the pony rides, inflatables, food and games.

“I think we’re doing a pretty poor job (of educating the public),” she says. “The Back To Sleep campaign (which reminds parents to put babies to sleep on their backs, thus reducing the risk of SIDS) is phenomenal. It definitely decreases the risk of SIDS to your baby. But I don’t think we go into enough depth about why it decreases the risk.” According to Cardin, researchers believe SIDS is linked to a brain stem abnormality, and it can be triggered by a child overheating or breathing in his or her own carbon dioxide. That can occur when there’s not enough ventilation as the child sleeps, such as in an adult’s bed. “I don’t think we’re doing a good enough job educating about that,” Cardin says. “We put kids to sleep in all sorts of places where there’s not proper ventilation, especially adult beds, which not only have covers and blankets and pillows, but also the parents are exhaling, too. It’s unsafe, and you don’t know if your child has this brain stem abnormality unless the baby dies, so why take the risk?” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Study: Seniors often resist being helped ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

Just when you thought that a family caregiver’s job couldn’t get more difficult, consider this: Many of the estimated 42,000 households caring for a senior in Guilford County are trying to help an aging relative who’d rather not have help. A study of family caregivers who responded to a survey on caregiverstress.com revealed that more than half of the respondents (51 percent) said their aging relative was very resistant

to care. These seniors often object to help whether it’s from their own children or a professional who tries to come into their homes to assist. “This is a real problem for family caregivers worried about the safety of a senior loved one who might be forgetting food on the stove or neglecting to take their medications,” said Patty Aiken, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving the Greensboro and High Point area. Why do seniors resist help?

“If seniors admit they need help, they feel their independence is in question,” said Aiken. “Seniors believe that once they acknowledge they need help, they’ll lose control of their affairs. They are trying to maintain dignity. Unless they feel they can trust someone, they resist change. I believe it’s the fear that life as they’ve known it will be taken away from them.” But experts say keeping fiercely independent seniors safe at home isn’t a lost cause, as

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

solutions are available. That’s why Home Instead has launched “Caring for Your Parents: Education for the Family Caregiver.” The unique, educational program includes a number of resources that address senior resistance to care as well as a variety of other topics, such as choosing an in-home care provider, the signs of aging, longdistance caregiving and communicating with aging parents. The free materials and videos are available at www.caregiver stress.com.

DRIVING VIDEOS

Do you have junk in your trunk? Do you floor your accelerator? Do you change your oil about as frequently as you go to the dentist? Those are some of the common driving habits that hurt gas mileage and harm the environment. The North Carolina Department of Transportation has produced a series of humorous videos, radio spots and posters as part of its “Drive Green, Save Green” campaign aimed at helping motorists save money and reduce pollution. “We are always looking for new, creative ways to fulfill our basic mission,” said Ted Vaden, Deputy Secretary for Internal & External Affairs at NCDOT. “These public service announcements reflect our effort to promote an initiative that’s good for your pocketbook and the environment.” The videos, radio spots and posters – which were produced in-house and star NCDOT employees – use various characters to illustrate different tips from the Drive Green, Save Green campaign. This week’s featured video and corresponding audio segment is titled “The Cheapskate” and shows the benefits of regularly scheduled vehicle maintenance. To see the video, go to www.ncdot.org/ programs/drive green/. NCDOT will feature a new video and radio spot each Monday.

STAMINA “The winning play wasn’t hard to spot, but I lacked the strength of mind to see it. To play this game, you need stamina.” A bridge player need not be in shape to play a quarter against the Chicago Bears, but focus and physical condition are undoubtedly related. South needs a 3-2 trump break to make six hearts, hence he should lead a low trump at Trick Two. He can win any return, draw trumps and run the clubs for 12 tricks.

CROSSWORD

Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Gloria Estefan, 53; Dr. Phil McGraw, 60; Barry Gibb, 64; Lily Tomlin, 71 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Success is within reach but only if you take care of old business first. Financial and professional opportunities are present if you address the situations that you may have been trying to ignore. Nothing is as difficult as it appears, but it does take courage to admit you need to make a change or fix a mistake. Your numbers are 5, 8, 21, 24, 29, 33, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Love is on the rise and a passionate encounter is likely to develop if you are receptive to what’s being proposed. Don’t get caught up in the moment. Do what you want to do for the right reasons. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your ideas will surprise some and captivate others. Whether at work or while volunteering your services, you will be able to develop good relationships with those able to further your current position. Love is on the rise. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A new concept or idea will take off if presented properly. Don’t let someone else get involved or you may be convinced to do things in a manner that doesn’t reflect what you want to portray. Relax in the evening hours with someone special. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your emotions will take you in many different directions. Find a way to fit everything that needs to be done into your tight schedule or you will face criticism or opposition. Now is not the time to take on someone else’s burden. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be introduced to people, places and ideas that captivate your imagination and change your life forever. A fresh start will set you apart from the people and situations that have been weighing you down and holding you back. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may get trapped in an emotional situation that boggles the mind. Sort through whatever problems you face as quickly as possible so you don’t miss out on a fantastic professional opportunity. Stabilize your future by taking care of business first. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You need a break. Now is the time to discuss future plans. Love and passion will play a prominent role in your life. The more time spent with someone who inspires you, the better you will do. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There are deals to be made if you share your idea and propose your plans. Involve someone who can contribute to what you are trying to develop and, before you know it, things will be up and running. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will begin to see things differently if you listen to others and are willing to compromise. Follow your heart and you will realize someone you have been following is truly trying to do some good. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be faced with opposition. Travel will lead to delays or problems with rules, obstructions or detours. Someone from your past can shed light on a new way to approach an old interest. Your patience will pay off. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You have so many good ideas and, if you implement the ones you think you’d enjoy doing most, you will be in a much better position financially and emotionally. There is money to be made. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be drawn to someone with something unique to offer regarding your financial situation. It’s a new day and, with a different approach, you can get back some of the things you have lost in the past. ★★

BRIDGE

“I think I’ve got something on the ball,” a club player told me. “I’m just too tired to bounce it.” My friend said that he and his wife work, and when they play in an evening duplicate game, fatigue is a factor. “We got to six hearts,” he said, “and West led a diamond: eight, king, ace. I ruffed a diamond in dummy, came to the king of clubs, ruffed a diamond, took the ace of spades, ruffed a spade and cashed the A-K of trumps. I then led another club, expecting to discard my last diamond, but East ruffed and led a diamond to West’s queen.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A 9 5 4 2 H 8 6 D 8 C A Q J 10 5. Your partner opens one diamond, you bid one spade and he raises to two spades. What do you say? ANSWER: Two-suited hands improve when you locate a trump fit; you can expect to keep control and set up your second suit. Your hand is well worth a jump to four spades. Don’t bother to bid clubs. You want to play at game, and if you showed the clubs, you’d be showing them only to the defenders. 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.

It’s all in the expression Anna Moser of Anaconda, Mont., tosses a horseshoe down the lane recently during the 2010 Montana State Horseshoe-pitching Tournament at the TipIt Bar in Havre, Mont.

WHO’S NEWS

Wake’s new QB no stranger to spotlight T

ed Stachitas doesn’t have any apprehension about following Wake Forest record-setting passer Riley Skinner. The redshirt sophomore isn’t nervous because he knows something about replacing high-profile quarterbacks. At Nease High School in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., he was the first to go under center SPORTS after a fellow by the name of Tim Tebow Greer departed. Smith “It definitely ■■■ helps that I followed Tim,” Stachitas said during the Demon Deacons’ press conference on Tuesday. “I’m used to all the expectations everyone has and all the questions and all the doubts.” Stachitas erased the doubts at Nease, leading the school to the Florida 4A championship game as a senior in 2007. A sterling summer practice erased the uncertainty that Demon Deacon coach Jim Grobe had about choosing Stachitas over true freshman sensation Tanner Price and two other candidates in the battle to fill the void left by Skinner’s graduation starting with Thursday night’s season opener against Presbyterian at BB&T Field. Stachitas moved to the top of the depth chart after being demoted in the spring because he missed time thanks of a pulled hamstring – the latest in a series of injuries that included a shoulder separation in 2008 and a toe infection last season. His only previous action at Wake is a total of six snaps, all in mop-up duty against Elon last year. “We wanted to make sure that we made our quarterback earn it,” Grobe said. “We didn’t want to just flip a coin and decide who it was going to be. What we did from day one was chart all the guys on a variety of things – metal mistakes, completions versus incompletions, how they did running the football. Ted accumulated a lead on the other guys that he is deserving. Now he’s got to out and prove that we made the right decision.” The void left to fill is quite large. Skinner threw for 9,762 yards and 60 touchdowns. Stachitas, who is more mobile than Skinner and is expected to direct a more balanced offense,

isn’t as worried about those numbers as he is improving upon last season’s disappointing 5-7 swan song for Skinner’s career that began Stachitas with an ACC championship in 2006. “I’m more team-oriented,” Stachitas said. “I don’t worry about any of Riley’s records. He did great and I respect what he did. I’m worried about getting wins for our team.” He’ll try to succeed while not being a very vocal leader, admitting that he is quiet and shy away from the football field. “I’m very methodical and just call the plays out,” said Stachitas, whose brother Chet played on the St. Joseph’s team that knocked Wake’s basketball team out of the 2004 NCAA Tournament. “I’m not very rah-rah.” Josh Adams, the resdshirt senior running back who is expected to help the Deacons reestablish a ground game, doesn’t buy all of Stachitas’ description about himself. “He may tell you guys that,” Adams said. “When he is in the locker room, he isn’t shy at all. When it comes to running the offense, he might be a little more shy than Riley.” Looking ahead to the Blue Hose, a Football Championship Subdivision team from the Big South that went winless last year, Stachitas is keeping his goals simple. “Hopefully, we can execute the offense like we have in practice,” Stachitas said. “I want to play as long as I can as hard as I can. If they want to rotate other quarterbacks in, that will be OK, too.” Grobe would rather not rotate them, even though Price almost won the starting position. “There are a million different scenarios, but my expectation is that Ted is going to play well,” Grobe said. “But, Tanner is close to being the guy. It’s not like Ted has blown him away. We spent a lot of time looking at this thing. “I don’t want to switch. I will say this: This is a different situation than before. I think these kids wouldn’t mind sharing playing time better than some that we’ve had before. That being said, we’re going to Thursday night with the intention of playing one quarterback.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Safe return High Point Central’s No. 2 singles player Hannah Howell keeps her eyes on the ball as she strokes a forehand shot against T.W. Andrews on Tuesday. See prep roundup, 3D.

Charlotte lands 2017 PGA CHARLOTTE (AP) – North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue remembers sitting with Johnny Harris in 1993 as the Quail Hollow Club president gushed about his ambitious plans. “He said, ‘Bev, we’re going to make us a prize. We’re bringing in a great golf designer and we’re going to change this course,’ ” Perdue recalled. “He said, ‘We’re going to have us an international tournament here.’ ” Two redesigns and 17 years later, Perdue sat next to Harris on the same stage Tuesday with PGA of America CEO Joe Steranka, who announced the 2017 PGA Championship will be played at the old-style, private course. “Charlotte deserves this,” Steranka said. “Quail Hollow deserves it.” It will mark the third time the PGA will be in North Carolina, and the first for the state’s largest city. The event will draw about 50,000 a people a day, millions of television viewers worldwide and tens of millions of dollars in economic impact.

No wonder Harris was smiling at an event that included numerous state dignitaries, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson and Charlotte Bobcats president Fred Whitfield. “We wanted to have a golf course that could host a major championship,” said Harris, a real estate developer and member of Augusta National. The PGA of America was drawn to Quail Hollow after watching its success as one of the top non-majors since its return to the PGA Tour in 2003. It came after famed designer Tom Fazio made major renovations to the course starting in the late 1990s which added length and new greens, but kept much of the natural landscape. “Their commitment to the two renovations that Tom did and their support of doing additional things that would improve Quail Hollow as a championship venue is what we looked for,” said Steranka, who first discussed bringing the event here two years ago.

State names surprise starter at tailback WIRE, STAFF REPORTS

RALEIGH — North Carolina State has settled on a surprise choice to start at running back. One-time defensive back Dean Haynes will

start at tailback when the Wolfpack open Saturday night against Western Carolina. The redshirt freshman will be backed up by freshman Mustafa Greene. Junior Curtis Underwood was listed as the starter after spring practice with sophomore

James Washington as his backup. On that depth chart, Haynes was listed as a backup at free safety. He began practicing as a tailback two weeks ago. Haynes rushed for 878 yards as a quarterback in high school.

night. Wake Forest hosts Presbyterian at 6:30 p.m. and Miami welcomes Florida A&M at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, notable openers include Richmond at Virginia at 6 p.m.; Western Carolina at N.C. State at 6 p.m.; Elon at Duke at 7 p.m.; and LSU vs. North Carolina at Atlanta (8 p.m., WXLV, Ch. 45). Saturday, Sept. 11, gives us Duke at Wake Forest at noon, Florida State at Oklahoma at 3:30 p.m. and Virginia at Southern Cal to highlight a busy 10-game schedule. Cincinnati invades Raleigh to battle N.C. State on Thursday, Sept. 16, at 7:30 p.m. ESPN provides the live coverage. Saturday, Sept. 18, promises plenty of fire-

works with seven games, including Georgia Tech at North Carolina at noon; Maryland at West Virginia at noon; East Carolina at Virginia Tech at 1:30 p.m.; defending national champion Alabama at Duke at 3:30 p.m.; and Wake Forest at Stanford at 11:15 p.m. The final Saturday of the month showcases seven games, including three league battles – N.C. State at Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech at Boston College and Wake Forest at Florida State. Those start times will be determined later. Get ready, ACC football fans. Your time has come.

I

can’t believe we’ve turned the page to September. Not only has this summer been among the hottest on record, I think it’s flown by the fastest. Perhaps things seem to speed up as I get older, or maybe I just go progressively slower. Whatever the reason, my body still thinks it’s late July. But it is September 1, which means college football season is here. The ACC docket is chock full of great September matchups. Here are a few dates and games to circle on the calendar: A pair of ACC teams open on Thursday

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Mark Ingram’s run for a second Heisman Trophy has been put on hold, and possibly even derailed, before the Alabama tailback had a chance to gain a single yard. Ingram will miss No. 1 Alabama’s opener against San Jose State after injuring his left knee late in practice Monday, coach Nick Saban said Tuesday. Saban said in a statement the star tailback had an arthroscopic procedure and should make a full recovery in a “relatively short time.” “Mark will definitely be out for this week’s game against San Jose State and we will manage this on a week to week basis beyond this week,” Saban said. If the absence proves shortlived, it figures to have more of an impact on Ingram’s bid to join Ohio State running back Archie Griffin as the only two-time Heisman winners than it does on Alabama’s hopes for a repeat national title. San Jose State went 2-10 last season, but the Crimson Tide face a much stiffer test in the second week of the season. No. 19 Penn State visits Tuscaloosa on Sept. 11, then Alabama travels to Duke. Alabama does have a talented backup in sophomore Trent Richardson, who ran for 751 yards and scored eight touchdowns last season.

(AP) – Less than a week after Jim Furyk, the No. 3 seed in the FedEx Cup, overslept and missed his pro-am time, the PGA announced it was suspending the regulation that led to Furyk being unable to play. For the rest of the year, any player missing his pro-am start will be punished for “conduct unbecoming a professional.” The player will be required to finish the pro-am round. Anyone who misses his pro-am entirely is out.

Duke looks for more growth in Cutcliffe’s 3rd year DURHAM (AP) – Duke has become competitive enough under David Cutcliffe that the Blue Devils football coach turned down the opportunity to go to Tennessee. Yes, that Duke – the one that has not had a winning season or been to a bowl game since 1994. But Cutcliffe is beginning his third season in Durham and aiming to continue his formidable reconstruction project. The decision to turn down overtures from Rocky Top this winter gave even more credibility to what he is trying to build at Duke. The results are evident, even if only by the once-

putrid program’s previous standards. Duke (5-7 in 2009) has won nine games in two years under Cutcliffe after winning a total of eight in the five years

before he showed up. And while nobody’s making reservations for the postseason yet, there is another incremental measure of how far they’ve come: for a

change, the Blue Devils weren’t picked to finish last in their division. Whether the Blue Devils snap their pesky bowl drought – or whether it’ll be just another year of more losses than wins – might come down to how well Sean Renfree does in rehabilitating his injured right knee and replacing record-setting four-year starter Thad Lewis at quarterback. Renfree came off the bench to win the Army game and for the year completed 34 of 50 passes for 330 yards with four touchdowns as Lewis’ backup. But his redshirt freshman season ended in mop-up duty against

Georgia Tech when he tore an anterior cruciate ligament, and this offseason endured the difficult task of taking ownership of the team and strengthening his teammates’ trust in him despite not being healthy enough to fully participate in all of the conditioning drills. Renfree was the first quarterback recruited to Duke by Cutcliffe, the noted QB guru who developed Peyton and Eli Manning into Heisman Trophy finalists, and is well aware of the scrutiny that comes with being next in that line. He has plenty of targets at his disposal: Nine

starters return on offense, including four linemen and three wideouts – Donovan Varner, Conner Vernon and Austin Kelly – who each caught at least 50 passes last season for the ACC’s top passing offense. The Blue Devils desperately need more production from their ACC-worst ground game. Their leading rusher last season gained just 262 yards – two fewer than Boston College’s Montel Harris had in one game – so Cutcliffe hopes young speedsters Josh Snead and Juwan Thompson can give opponents something to think about besides Renfree’s arm.

S

outhwest Guilford’s newlook offense has made good use of the new-look scoreboard standing just beyond the end zone. The Cowboys boast a 2-0 record after a pair of home games at the ranch: 29-0 against Southeast Guilford and 28-20 over Eastern Guilford. Each Friday, the points piled up by the Cowboys flashed up on a brand-new scoreboard. “It was nice to see our first game was a ‘W’ on the board, for sure,” said Southwest athletic director Brindon Christman. “It just makes things look so much better down there. That old board was 16 years old. It was time for a new one.” The attractive kelly-green showpiece features the Southwest logo atop an LED board with lights that should last about 400,000 hours, Christman said. That’s some 16 to 18 years of touchdowns and goals during the fall football and soccer seasons and spring soccer and lacrosse campaigns. The final cost of the project, including installation, came to about $14,000. Christman praised the Cowboys’ athletic booster club for tackling the project. “There’s a lot of people involved with that. It takes a lot of people to make that happen,” Christman said. “The booster club is there to help our kids directly. It’s a project we all decided to work on, a nice little purchase for us. It just makes things look more professional in our stadium.” With school budgets facing ever-present cuts, Christman said the work of booster clubs has become more and more important. At Southwest, athletic department money from the school system is used solely for game-day situations: uniforms, equipment, paint for the fields, activity buses, referees. Gate revenues only go so far. With the booster club’s support, the baseball stadium got a new outfield wall and the football stadium a new sound system last year. This fall, Southwest hopes to add lights to its new practice fields and

work toward new scoreboards at the baseball and softball fields. “We try to do one capital improvement for SPORTS different things each year,” Steve Christman said. Hanf “It’s a balancing ■■■ act. We just have to be careful on what we spend and where we spend it.”

NEW THREADS AT TWA Improvements are in the works for Simeon Stadium, where T. Wingate Andrews and High Point Central play their home games. One nice thing about this season, though, is that the Red Raiders are sporting nice new uniforms courtesy of Arizona Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson. The High Point native was honored at his alma mater in a June ceremony that retired his jersey number. At that time, Wilson told Andrews officials he would purchase the jerseys, which are a Nike model that have a sleek NFL look to them. Andrews athletic director Ben Robinson also said the jerseys are embroidered rather than screen-printed, meaning they’ll last longer. “We feel very fortunate and thankful for the new uniforms,” Robinson said.

PASSING FANCY Technically, Jamie Cunningham started at quarterback his sophomore season at Southern Guilford. His duties as signal-caller, however, consisted mostly of handing off or pitching to a host of talented running backs: Cunningham attempted only 100 passes last fall and gained about 600 yards through the air. As for the three TDs he mustered? Already matched – and then some – this year in the Storm’s 1-1 start. The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder finds himself leading area passers with 504 yards and six scores. Remarkably, he’s already 31-for-57 on the year, and has yet to throw an inter-

Carver at Glenn All kickoffs set for 7:30 p.m. Friday unless noted ception despite the increased attempts. “I’m glad that we’re playing halfway decent right now on offense,” coach Darryl Brown said. “The reason we’re throwing the ball a little more is because of our personnel. I’ve always been a run-first type guy.” That changed this year because three inexperienced players have been fighting for time in the backfield. Knowing that to be the case, Brown spent time at Elon over the summer going over some new offensive strategies for the Storm. Just because he played quarterback at Southern from 199395 doesn’t mean he flung it all over the field. All the way back to Brown’s grandfather – C.J. Siler – leading Sumner High, the school has had a run-first mentality. “Probably in a long time it’s the most the ball’s been put in the air here,” Brown said. “I think the kids are enjoying it, and our fans, too. The guys are having a little success and I’m happy for them.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Confidence rises, but outlook still gloomy NEW YORK (AP) – Americans’ confidence in the economy improved slightly in August from July, but they’re still roughly as gloomy as a year ago. The downbeat sentiment underscoresthechallenges ahead for the increasingly shaky recovery and for retailers, which are grappling with a weak start to back-to-school shopping. Worries are even growing about the critical holiday shopping season. The Conference Board, a private research group, said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index rose to 53.5 from a revised 51.0 in July.

Judge blocks plan to tax Indian cigarettes BUFFALO, N.Y. – A federal judge has temporarily blocked New York state’s plans to tax Native American cigarette sales to non-Indian customers. Judge Richard Arcara granted a request by two western New York tribes for a court order that would stop the state from imposing a $4.35 per-pack sales tax on cigarettes sold by reservation retailers starting today. The ruling delays the collections for at least two weeks. The cash-strapped state sees the tax as a potential $200 million source of annual revenue.

Visteon bankruptcy plan gains approval WILMINGTON, Del. – A federal judge has confirmed auto parts supplier Visteon’s reorganization plan, clearing the way for the company’s emergence from bankruptcy. Visteon, a major supplier of parts to Ford Motor Co., said Tuesday that it expects to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy by Oct. 1.

The dollar slid to 84.07 yen from 84.68 yen, and dropped to 1.0164 Swiss francs from 1.0262 francs. The Swiss franc also hit a record high versus the euro. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected 50.5. The increase comes after two straight months of declines. “The consumer is still struggling, and the prospects look like more of the same,” said Ken Perkins, president of research firm RetailMetrics. An index of 90 or more indicates a healthy economy. That level hasn’t been approached since the recession began in December 2007. The index – which measures how Americans feel about business conditions, the job market and the next six months – had been recovering fitfully

since hitting an all-time low of 25.3 in February 2009. In August 2009, the index stood at 54.5, only a point higher than now. Since then, it has mostly hovered in a tight range between the mid-40s and the high 50s. May 2010 proved to be the only exception, at 62.7 – still weak. Moreover, there doesn’t seem to be any catalyst in sight to get them to feel better any time soon. Home sales are plunging, and consumers are saving more and spending less as the unemployment rate remains stuck at almost 10 percent, all contributing to weak confidence.

FDIC: Largest banks thriving; small ones struggling WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. banks are making money again, although a split picture of the industry has emerged since the financial crisis. The largest banks are thriving, mostly because they can borrow on the cheap and have rid themselves of bad debt. Yet smaller banks lack those advantages and are failing at the fastest pace in years. Overall, banks made $21.6 billion in net income in the April-to-June quarter, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said. It was the highest quarterly level since 2007. Banks with more than $10 billion in assets – only 1.3 percent of the indus-

try – accounted for $19.9 billion of the total earnings. At the same time, the number of banks on the FDIC’s confidential “problem” list increased by 54 in the quarter – growing to 829 from 775 in the first quarter. That’s a little more than 10 percent of the 7,830 federally insured U.S. banks. Most of the biggest banks have recovered with help from federal bailout money and the ability to earn from fees on banking and investment services. Smaller and regional banks depend heavily on loans for commercial property and development. Those sectors have suffered huge losses.

Oil prices fall below $75 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Some of the economic news was a little better on Tuesday, but it was not enough to keep oil prices from dropping again. Benchmark crude for October delivery lost $2.78 to settle at $71.92 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. At the pump the national average for unleaded regular gasoline on Tuesday was $2.677 a gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. That’s about half a cent less than a month ago and 6.7 cents higher than a year ago. “Oil continues to spend much of its time trailing the stock market,” analysts at Ritter-

busch and Associates said in a report. Many traders are awaiting August’s unemployment data, due Friday, to get a better handle on the economy as well. “Every bit of news will bump the market in one or the other direction,” said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research in Winchester, Mass. Energy prices also pulled back after forecasters said Hurricane Earl turned toward the East Coast of the U.S. and away from oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Big storms rolling through the Gulf can interrupt production and raise prices.

Stocks end brutal month with meager gains NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market ended its worst August since 2001 with meager gains Tuesday after minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting showed officials’ increasing concern about the economy. Stock indexes gave up most of their gains in midafternoon after the release of minutes from the Fed’s Aug. 10 meeting. Fed officials said during their discussions that they recognized that the economy might need further stimulus beyond the purchases of government debt the central bank announced that day. Some of the officials acknowledged that economy had softened more than they had anticipated. The Dow Jones industrial average ended with a gain of 5 points, having been up 64 following a reading on consumer confidence in August that came in stronger than expected. Stocks fell sharply for much of August after a series of reports suggested that the recovery has weakened. The S&P 500, the measure used most by stock market professionals, finished August with a loss of 4.7 percent. It was the S&P 500’s worst showing for the month since August 2001, when it lost 6.4 percent as the dot-com bubble collapsed. Year-to-date, the S&P 500 is down 5.9 percent. Some traders said there was disappointment that the Fed wasn’t pessimistic enough to consider quicker steps to stimulate that economy.

Earl could force evacuations ahead of holiday

US: China gave unfair subsidy to aluminum industry

RALEIGH (AP) – A powerful Hurricane Earl threatened to sideswipe much of the East Coast just ahead of Labor Day, worrying countless vacationers who planned to spend the traditional last week of summer at the beach. The Federal Emergency Management Agency warned people along the Eastern Seaboard to prepare for possible evacuations and islanders in the Turks and Caicos hunkered down in their homes Tuesday as the Category 4 hurricane steamed across the Caribbean with winds of 135 mph. Earl was expected to remain over the open ocean before turning north and running parallel to the East Coast, bringing high winds and heavy rain to North Carolina’s Outer Banks by late Thursday or ear-

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration, under congressional pressure to take a tough stance on Chinese trade policies, determined Tuesday that Beijing unfairly subsidized $514 million in aluminum products last year. The Commerce Department stopped short of making a stronger ruling on claims by U.S. leaders and manufacturers that an undervalued Chinese currency gives Beijing’s exporters a lopsided price advantage. The preliminary finding means that some Chinese aluminum importers must post cash deposits or bonds at a rate set by U.S. officials. It comes as the White House attempts to strike a delicate balance ahead of November congressional elections that will be dominated by the weak U.S. economy. The Obama administration wants to address worries by lawmakers who say the United States is losing

jobs because China’s currency policy keeps the yuan undervalued against the dollar and makes Chinese products cheaper in the U.S. But it also wants to preserve good ties with a country seen as crucial to dealing with global economic and environmental issues and with nuclear standoffs with Iran and North Korea. On the politically sensitive currency issue, the Commerce Department refused to investigate allegations that China’s currency practices are an unfair subsidy. It said the claims didn’t meet U.S. requirements needed to start such an inquiry. The U.S. aluminum companies that requested the duties alleged that the Chinese industry benefited from its currency policy. If Commerce had chosen to investigate the issue and decided that the currency was a subsidy, that could have opened up a wider range of imports to penalty tariffs.

ly Friday. From there, forecasters said, it could curve away from the coast somewhat as it makes it way north, perhaps hitting Massachusetts’ Cape Cod and the Maine shoreline on Friday night and Saturday. “My guests are calling and they don’t know what to do and I don’t know what to tell them,� said Dave Dawson, owner of the oceanfront Cape

Hatteras Motel in Buxton, N.C. Forecasters cautioned that it was still too early to tell how close Earl might come to land. But not since Hurricane Bob in 1991 has such a powerful storm had such a large swath of the East Coast in its sights, said Dennis Feltgen, spokesman for the National Hurricane Center. “A slight shift of that track to the west is going to impact a great deal of real estate with potential

hurricane-force winds,� Feltgen said. Even if Earl stays well offshore, it will kick up rough surf and dangerous rip currents up and down the coast through the Labor Day weekend, a prime time for beach vacations, forecasters said. The approaching storm troubled many East Coast beach towns that had hoped to capitalize on the BP oil spill and draw visitors who normally vacation on the Gulf Coast.
