The country may be recovering from the throes of a recession, but you wouldn’t know it looking at High Point University. Amid an economic downturn, the university continues to grow, with more housing being added and another phase of expansion to be announced later this month. And while the university, as most sectors of the economy, has taken its lumps, it has managed to remain in sound fiscal shape amid an ambitious growth plan. And buildings aren’t the only thing going up. The university in recent years has moved up in various college rankings, positioning it as a premier college destination nationwide. This three-part series looks at the recent growth and status of the university and what the future may hold.

HIGH POINT – Growth continues this year at High Point University with the opening of the $12 million North College Station even as construction starts on a $14 million new Greek Village. Formerly the site of Wesleyan Homes, located on College Drive between Eastchester Drive and Centennial Street, the refurbished complex features townhomes and apartments for 317 upperclassmen. It includes a convenience store, a gym, two business centers, recreation areas and trolley stops for transportation to campus. HPU paid $9 million for the former Wesleyan Arms and Wesleyan

Unlike some campuses, HPU leaders decided to develop a housing group for the fraternities and sororities. “We have 3,000 students on campus now, and we want a safe and secure campus for them,” Qubein said.

HIGH POINT – By the middle of this month, the city could begin to see the fruits of a $40 million investment. City officials said High Point has been ready to take water from the Randleman Regional Reservoir for the past two months or so. It will supplement what is already an ample water supply, but will bring other benefits as well, according to the city. “The extra water we’re going to get from Randleman is added insurance that High Point will not have a water problem, and that’s a real benefit for High Point,” said City Manager Strib Boynton. “We’re only using, on a typical day, less than half of our available

supply, which gives us more opportunities for economic growth, for attracting new businesses.” The city uses an average of about 12 million gallons a day out of its roughly 25 million-gallon treatment capacity, using water from Oak Hollow and City lakes. The Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority, which oversees the distribution of water from the reservoir to High Point and five other customers, will allocate the city about 2.68 million gallons a day, according to Assistant Public Services Director Terry Houk. A transmission line was installed from a water authority transfer station to a tank the city built at the Ward Water Treatment Plant. The water will start flowing when state regulators give final approval to operations at the authority’s

High Point University welcomed a record number of students to begin the 2010-2011 academic year. Total campus undergraduate day enrollment is 3,300. At 1,220, HPU’s freshman class is the largest ever. In the past year, the university opened the $20 million Nido R. Qubein School of Communication and the $16 million Plato S. Wilson School of Commerce, as well as the $65 million University Center, a residence hall that includes a library, restaurants, an arcade and theater. Through the end of 2009, HPU has added 15 new academic, residential and student-life buildings, plus two new athletic stadiums and a field

treatment plant and pumping stations, possibly by mid-September. “When they transmit, we’ll be able to modify our operations to take all the water they’re going to send us and serve the rest of the city,” Houk said. The city’s tab for the project, from its beginnings to the infrastructure that’s been added in recent years, comes to slightly more than $40 million. Some of the cost has been incorporated into the city’s waterrate structure over time. “We’ve been paying for this for years,” Boynton said. “I think we’ve made, over the last decade, the critical investments needed to improve our water supply and our wastewater treatment capacity. We haven’t got the problems others have got.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

NC’s main Outer Banks link open again RODANTHE (AP) – Coastal residents and vacationers shrugged off the fading effects of Hurricane Earl and got ready to enjoy Labor Day weekend Saturday as officials reopened the main highway linking the Outer Banks to the mainland. Hundreds of cars packed onto the Bonner Bridge as Highway 12 reopened around 7 a.m. The traffic also was slow because some pools of water remained on the road. The highway had been closed since overnight Thursday when water and sand blown by Earl blocked the route. Workers had to use bulldozers to help clear it and had to wait for some of the water to drain. The closure meant people who did not leave Hatteras Island and its seven villages before the storm were cut off from the mainland. While some homes

With the additions, the campus has more than doubled since 2005, from 93 to 210 acres. Remaining on the original upgrade list are a new school of education building and a parking deck. The next development phase, expected to be announced later this month, will address athletics in some fashion. Qubein did not say exactly how. Questions continue to rise about either a new basketball arena or a sports stadium.

ROCK HILL, S.C. – Rock Hill police said a 13-year-old boy was trying to sell a bag of cocaine to a fellow student in one of the school’s bathrooms Thursday morning.

Students said it was the big talk in the hallways during school on Friday.

Wayne Hammond, a 47-year-old mechanic from Baltimore, said he was initially supposed to vacation with his family for a week starting Thursday. After the storm passed Friday, he and his family began their trip south, staying in Kitty Hawk that night and then getting to Hatteras Island shortly after authorities reopened the highway. At the same time,

She said the two students have already been suspended for three days, and she said more severe punishments will be handed down once the police department finishes its investigation. Police are not releasing the names of the two students because of their ages.

Attorney challenges crime lab’s results in murder trial GRAHAM (AP) – A defense attorney became the first in what’s excpected to be a long line of lawyers attacking the credibility of the state’s crime lab in a trial. The News and Observer of Raleigh reported that Durham lawyer Scott Holmes tried unsuccessfully Friday to get his client’s murder trial postponed so evidence processed by the State Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab could be independently tested. Judge J.B. Allen refused to postpone the Sept. 27 trial, but he ordered money be provided for Holmes to have new tests done quickly and he ordered the SBI

to cooperate with those tests. More court challenges are expected after an investigation by two former Federal Bureau of Investigation officials found that SBI agents helped prosecutors obtain convictions over a 16-year period, mostly by misrepresenting blood evidence and keeping critical notes from defense attorneys. In the case Holmes is arguing, the attorney claims an SBI computer analyst going through his client’s computers used key words and searched e-mails only for a certain period of time, based on investigators’ theory of the crime.

Annette Wilson-Connelly kept thinking of her niece, Tammy Diane Wilson, Friday as she sat in Forsyth Superior Court and watched the man accused of killing Wilson in an apartment fire receive a life sentence. She thought about how Wilson, who was burned extensively, fought for her life as she lay in Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. “I wasn’t an advocate

of the death penalty until this monster killed my niece,� Wilson-Connelly said after a hearing in which Gerald Todd Spease pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and first-degree arson. Spease, 40, was accused of setting a fire at the Colony Apartments on Brownsboro Road on June 17, 2006, that killed Wilson, 39, his girlfriend, and displaced more than 70 people. Spease had been facing

the death penalty, but Assistant District Attorney David Hall said that after an evaluation at Dorothea Dix Hospital, a psychiatrist, Dr. David Bartholomew, determined that Spease is mentally retarded. Under state law, a person who is declared mentally retarded cannot receive a death sentence. Spease’s IQ is in the mid- to upper 60s, Hall said. Average IQ is 90 to 109.

Pakistanis still waiting for flood aid

Officials: US missiles kill 7 in Pakistan

DAIRA DINPANAH, Pakistan (AP) – Abdul Rehman and his family live under a tree next to a pile of rubble on a newly created island where his house used to be. In the month since his home was destroyed in the raging floodwaters that inundated Pakistan, he has gotten no aid of any kind from the government or private aid groups to help him survive, he said. Frustrated and desperate, he joined a protest with dozens of other villagers that blocked the main road in this area 10 days ago. In response, police opened a criminal investigation against him, he said. And he still hasn’t gotten any food or even a tarp to shield his family of six from the blazing summer sun, he said. More than 3 million people have yet to receive desperately needed food aid, according to the U.N.

MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) – Pakistani officials say suspected U.S. missiles have killed seven militants in a tribal region near the Afghan border. Two intelligence officials say the Saturday evening strike targeted a house and a vehicle in a village near Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan. It was the third such attack in the area in 24 hours. Meanwhile, the death toll from a Pakistani Taliban suicide attack on a Shiite Muslim procession rose to 65 Saturday as critically wounded people died in hospitals. About 150 people were wounded in the attack Friday.

3 LAX terminals shut after guard leaves LOS ANGELES – Officials say three terminals at the Los Angeles International Airport were briefly shut down after an airport contract worker left an exit from a secure area unattended. Transportation Security Administration spokesman Jon Allen says an officer discovered about 4:30 a.m. Saturday that an exit from one of the terminals was unguarded. He says three checkpoints were closed and officers reviewed videotape from all three exits.

Key oil spill evidence raised to Gulf’s surface ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) – Investigators may now be able to answer the most elusive question since a rig explosion unleashed the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill more than four months ago, as they get a closeup view of a key piece of equipment for the first time. Why didn’t it stop the oil? A crewman guided a crane Saturday to hoist the 50-foot, 300-ton blowout preventer from a mile beneath the sea to the surface. It took about 291⠄2 hours

for the blowout preventer to reach the surface of the Gulf at 6:54 p.m. CDT. FBI agents were among the 137 people aboard the Helix Q4000 vessel, waiting to escort the device back to a NASA facility in Louisiana for analysis. The AP was the only news outlet with a print reporter and photographer on board the ship. Crews had been delayed after icelike crystals – called hydrates – formed on the blowout

preventer. The device couldn’t be safely hoisted from the water until the hydrates melted because the hydrates are combustible, said Darin Hilton, the captain of the Helix Q4000. Hydrates form when gases such as methane mix with water under high pressure and cold temperatures. The April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon killed 11 workers and led to 206 million gallons of oil spewing from BP PLC’s undersea well.

Clarkston previously had a police chief, one full-time officer, eight part-time officers and some reservists.

Rangel spends $111K on fees in 2 months NEW YORK – A federal campaign finance report shows embattled New York Rep. Charles Rangel has spent more than $111,000 on legal bills since July. A House ethics panel has charged the Harlem Democrat with 13 violations, including using a rent controlled Manhattan apartment as a campaign office and failing to pay taxes on a rental property in the Dominican Republic. Rangel has vowed to fight the charges. He’s expected to face a House trial in the fall.

Investigators know the explosion was triggered by a bubble of methane gas that escaped from the well and shot up the drill column, expanding quickly as it burst through several seals and barriers before igniting. But they don’t know exactly how or why the gas escaped. And they don’t know why the blowout preventer didn’t seal the well pipe at the sea bottom after the eruption, as it was supposed to.

Craigslist closes adult services section HARTFORD, Conn. – Craigslist closed the adult services section of its website Saturday, replacing it with a black bar that says “censored,� just over a week after a group of state attorneys general said there weren’t enough protections against blocking potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution. The listings came under new scrutiny after the jailhouse suicide last month of a former medical student who was awaiting trial in the killing of a masseuse he met through Craigslist. Critics have likened the services to virtual pimping, while Craigslist maintained the site was carrying ads even tamer than those published by some newspapers. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, one of the 17 attorneys general who pressed for the change, said in a statement that he welcomed the change and was trying to verify Craigslist’s official policy going forward.

Author leaving Wasilla home next to Sarah Palin ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Sarah Palin can take down the fence. Palin’s neighbor of three months on Wasilla’s Lake Lucille, author Joe McGinniss, is packing his bags and notebooks and leaving today for his home in Massachusetts to write the book he has been researching on the former governor and GOP vice presidential candidate. His arrival in May made headlines and drew an indignant reaction from Palin and a visit from her husband, Todd. The Palins even tacked an extension onto an 8-foot board fence between the homes, leaving only a part of their second-story home visible from McGinniss’ driveway. Peeping into windows

or peering through knotholes was never part of his research, McGinniss said. “I’ve been very busy but on Lake Lucille it’s been very quiet,� he said. “As I told Todd back in May – he came over to get in my face about moving in there – I said, ‘You’re not even going to know I’m there. A lot of the time, I’m not going to be here. And when I am, I mind my own business. I don’t care what happens on your side of the fence. That’s not why I’m here.’ � And that’s how it has played out, McGinniss said. A Palin spokesman didn’t immediately respond to an e-mail Saturday seeking any comments from the governor on the author’s departure.

Summer’s last hurrah Weather draws many outdoors for Labor Day BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Many residents in the Triad took advantage of the last holiday weekend of summer by spending the time outdoors on Saturday. Temperatures in the mid-to-high 70s provided a good day for residents to have yard sales and hit the park for a run or picnic. The Labor Day weekend also helped nonprofits, such as Divine Restoration Ministries Inc., with raising funds to help the homeless.

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

The Rev. Randall Baldwin and his wife, Jennie, held a fish fry at AutoZone on S. Main to raise money for Divine Restoration Ministry. John and Donna Kish of Archdale had a yard sale at their home on the corner of Shean Drive and S. Main Street. With police having to come by because of traffic Saturday morning, the couple made almost $900 through noon.

Donna Kish said she and her husband made about $300 just setting up Friday night. “We are really surprised about how many people stayed at home this year because we figured with Labor Day it wouldn’t be a

whole lot,” Kish said. “We were very surprised. We had the most turnout we have ever had. We always go away for vacation, but this year we decided to stay home ourselves.” The Rev. Randall Baldwin, pastor of Divine Restoration Ministries at 120 W. State Ave. in High Point, and his wife, Jennie, set up a fish fry tent in the AutoZone parking lot at the corner of S. Main Street and College Drive. The couple’s daughter, Brittany, and one of her friends were on the side of the road waving signs to advertise the fish fry for Divine Restoration Ministries, which sets up at the AutoZone at least once a month. Baldwin said he hoped more people would stop at the tent because of the Labor Day weekend.

“We are just a small congregation,” the pastor said. “We do it this way to raise our money, so we can keep going and don’t have to be a burden to anybody.” Baldwin said Divine Restoration Ministries raises money to feed the homeless. The church, which goes out into homeless camps, also gives the homeless personal items, such as shoes and blankets. In addition to yard sales and the fundraiser for Divine Restoration Ministries, residents also went to parks for Labor Day weekend activities. At Creekside Park in Archdale, youngsters were on the playgrounds, while residents were utilizing the walking trails and picnic shelters.

It’s the first time Hall has been a chaplain of a law enforcement agency. “Many times as a pastor, most of the time, the only people I hang out with are church folks,” Hall said. “This is an opportunity to reach out. I love my church folks, but this an opportunity to reach out and minister to folks who are not necessarily part of the congregation I serve.” Chief Jeff Insley and Maj. James Mills said the department decided

to add a second chaplain to take some of the load off of Orr. Orr, who recently came out of retirement to pastor Brentwood Baptist Church, also is the chaplain of the High Point Harley-Davidson Chapter. “(Orr) has someone else who he has now who he can call on because (chaplains) have other responsiblities as well,” Insley said. “Also, I think it’s good to have that person (officers) can pick up the phone, feel comfortable with and

who they can talk to and get some stuff off their chest Insley said chaplains are “invaluable” to police officers. He said it’s important for police to have someone to talk to because of the day-today situations that officers face. “It takes its toll sometimes,” the police chief said. “Just having somebody to break a little bread with and sort of put it on the table makes you feel good.” Mills said chaplains also are important to police.

“It’s a national trend,” he said. “A lot of people just don’t go to church. A lot of people are not members of a church. By having a chaplain program within the police department, it gives officers an avenue that perhaps they don’t have on the outside because they are not members of a church. “They can consult with someone on a spiritual nature if they have a problem or a concern.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Business recruiters collaborate to market region BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – The High Point Economic Development Corp. and the Greensboro Economic Development Alliance have taken another step in their efforts to work together to recruiting new businesses to the area, the organizations report. A print marketing piece called the Community Profile 2010-2011 was distributed to HPEDC board members at its monthly

m e e t i n g Wednesday. The profile showcases recent ann o u n c e ments, state Hill and county data and local attractions in both cities. According to a release from the HPEDC, the profile also highlights the city’s shared assets, including strategic locations, infrastructure, workforce, higher educa-

tion opportunities and cultural and recreational amenities. It will be distributed to prospective companies interested in doing business in the Greensboro, High Point and Guilford County area. HPEDC President Loren Hill said the marketing piece was a result of a joint meeting between the two organizations that was held in May. It was the first joint meeting in the organization’s histories.

At that meeting, Hill said both parties wished to dispell rumors that they compete against each other rather than working together to bring business to the area. “The message for our two boards was for our organizations to work seamlessly together in our efforts to bring jobs to Guilford County and the region,” said Dan Lynch, GEDA president, about the joint meeting. “That is our first priority.”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Hill said the organizations had worked together on advertising ventures, but it is the first time they’ve collaborated to create a brochure. The two organizations also will hold their second joint meeting at 7:30 a.m. on Oct. 26 at American Express in Greensboro.

Mary Margaret McCann Shacklett HIGH POINT – Mrs. Mary Margaret McCann Shacklett, 85, died Friday, September 3rd, at High Point Regional Hospital, attended by her loving children and her Savior. In the words of her four children: “Mary Shacklett was the essence of beauty and vitality and had a sweet passion for Jesus. She loved life and people, and her sincerity and enthusiasm made a bold statement everywhere she went. When she met Jesus, He changed her life and healed her, and she was never the same. As a result, our mother embraced strangers as friends and thrived on sharing her love with them. If anyone ever needed prayer, they needed only to ask mom, and she would stop whatever she was doing in any situation and pray. If one wanted to watch someone enjoy life and move to the music, he had only to look to mom and her dancing feet. She loved to dance; it was her trademark. Our wonderful mom approached life with a pure and positive simplicity and paid little mind to either worry or stress. She simply prayed and let Jesus take care of her. What a powerful role model of inspiration for us all she is.� Mary Shacklett was preceded in death by her husband, Herbert Almon Shacklett. She is survived by their one son, Stan Shacklett of Greensboro, three daughters: Lilli Shacklett, Carol Johnson and Rose Bowman, all of High Point, two grandchildren, Landon and Faith Johnson, a sister-in-law, Wilda McCann, and many nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be at 11 AM, on Monday, September 6, 2010 at Sechrest Funeral Service Chapel, 1301 E. Lexington Ave., High Point, NC.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Paul Conrad used his pencil like a weapon. His long lines and jagged angles seemed to point directly at the leaders he deemed charlatans and fools in need of deflating. In a career of more than 50 years, he won three Pulitzer Prizes, made Richard Nixon’s enemies list and ruined Ronald Reagan’s breakfast. The political cartoonist with an unmistakable style died at 86 Saturday at his home in the Los Angeles suburb of Rancho Palos Verdes surrounded by his family, his son David Conrad said. The death was from natural causes, David

Conrad said, but he did not offer specifics. Paul Conrad took on U.S. presidents from Harry S. Truman to George W. Bush, mostly in the Los Angeles Times, where he worked for 30 years and helped the newspaper raise its national profile. He was fierce in his liberalism and expressed it with a stark, powerful visual style. Southern California political junkies for decades would start their day either outraged or delighted at a Conrad drawing. The Times said in a Saturday story that its longtime publisher came to expect that his breakfast

Requests for bedrails follow death in UNC dorm MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHAPEL HILL – The death last month of a Nash County woman staying overnight in Kenan Residence Hall with her daughter has fueled a request for bedrails to attach to lofted beds in UNC dormitories. Larry Hicks, director of housing and residential education, said additional requests for railings began to flow in as the news of the accidental death hit local newspapers. “We’ve seen a little bit of an increase since that,� Hicks said. Hicks said the university usually receives about 20 requests for bed railings each year. He said the number has grown to about 40 as

the result of Sykes’ accident. In addition, Hicks said the university has ordered additional railings and borrowed some from N.C. State, which will be made available to students next week or sooner if they make the request. “We’ve ordered another 100 that are due to come in the next week, and we’re assessing whether we may need more,� Hicks said. Donna Sykes, 49, of Spring Hope, died Aug. 19 after she fell from a bed in her daughter’s room. Sykes was found unconscious by EMS responders at 1:44 a.m. after the daughter notified a resident adviser who then called an ambulance to transport Sykes

Meanwhile, campus police have officially closed its investigation into the death, determining that there was no criminal activity involved. “Given the evidence our office has gathered, we’ve ruled there was no criminal act, just an accident,� said Randy Young, a spokesman for UNC’s campus police. Some have questioned why the public wasn’t notified about the accident, either through the university or campus police.

In a 2006 interview with The Associated Press, Conrad compared his favorite target to then-president George W. Bush.

Marines pour resources into mental health care CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) – They have been in harm’s way for years in two countries, in a branch of the military where toughness and self-reliance have been especially prized for generations. Now the Marines are struggling against an enemy that has entrenched itself over nearly a decade of war: mental illness. Marines stressed from repeated tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan are seeking help like never before, and their suicide rate is the highest in the military after doubling in just the past three years. Even with more mentalhealth professionals sent to bases to help, they have had trouble keeping up with demand. There have been times when staff at Camp Lejeune’s base hospital faced a choice of either staying with a Marine through lengthy treatment or leaving a case midstream to be able to keep up with the deluge of new patients. “We couldn’t see people as frequently as we wanted to and to see them as much as we wanted to would mean not getting another Marine an initial evaluation,� said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Rebecca Webster, the hospital’s head of mental health. More than 1,100 members of the armed forces killed themselves from 2005 to 2009, and suicides have been on the rise again this year. The sharpest increases have been in the Army and Marine Corps, the services most stretched by

the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. One 23-year-old Marine recently treated for post traumatic stress disorder at Camp Lejeune said he felt processed by the system rather than properly treated. The Marine, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said that after his diagnosis he was relegated to short appointments during which mental health specialists did little more than check his dosages. “They just threw a bunch of pills at me,� he said. Mike Sloan, a California veteran who counsels troubled Marines, said commanders should be doing more to reach out to Marines in trouble and get them help. He said the military still faces a huge challenge in changing a mindset that encourages troops to be tough and handle problems on their own. “We people don’t listen in the armed forces,� said Sloan, who helped start a nonprofit veterans group in Oceanside, Calif., a community that borders Camp Pendleton. “I am positive combat stress and PTSD are caused by leadership failures.� Sloan cited a case in June in which a Marine alerted Camp Pendleton officials after seeing a disturbing message on a fellow Marine’s Facebook page. A Camp Pendleton spokesman, 1st Lt. Ken Kunze, said the Marine’s command – not mental health providers – contacted the young man.

Comedian makes cross-country trek for homeless RALEIGH (AP) – A North Carolina standup comedian is walking across the country to raise money for homeless rescue missions. The News and Observer of Raleigh reported Saturday that 44-yearold Dan Pace of Clayton is walking from Smithfield Rescue Mission

about 35 miles southeast of the state’s capital city, to Las Vegas. He hopes to raise $100,000 on his 2,400-mile trek that will end in March. Pace says he became interested in helping the homeless when he saw a tent city while he was performing in Las Vegas two years ago.

Nonprofits will suffer because of city’s fees I was very displeased to hear that City Council has approved adding fees for the use of mobile toters by businesses, nonprofits and other nonresidential customers who use city garbage services. Then I read that the City Council is considering pledging incentives of up to $194,500 to two potential employers who are considering locating in High Point. This seems to represent a great discrepancy in the treatment of those who are already providing goods and services to the community and those who are interested in doing so. The nonprofit sector is made up primarily of small to midsize organizations, most with budgets of less than $1 million annually, yet their work includes caring for returning soldiers, refurbishing

inner cities, providing opportunities for the arts, educating children, supporting the work force, aiding the sick, mentoring to young people, offering counseling to troubled families and individuals, providing housing and supportive services to men and women with disabilities and a plethora of other services. Studies show that for programs which provide substance abuse treatment, there is a $4-$7 return for each $1 invested. These savings to the community are due to reductions in crime, emergency room visits, unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, reduction in the number of

children in DSS custody, accidents and other issues associated with substance abuse. The challenges of our economy make this an especially difficult time for nonprofits who struggle daily to make our community a better and safer place to live; this is the thanks we get from our community leaders? I hope that City Council will reconsider the consequences of punishing those of us who are trying to make a difference in positive ways.

Sales tax hike is the way to go G

uilford County voters spoke loudly in 2008 when they approved more than $650 million in bonds to fund improvements to county schools and Guilford Technical Community College and to build a county jail annex in Greensboro. County voters made their voices heard in 2008 twice more when they rejected proposals to raise Guilford’s sales tax in order to help pay for the construction projects funded with the bond issues voters OKed. The message from voters to county leaders then seemed to be – do some house-cleaning and budgetcutting before you ask us for more tax increases. Well, to their credit, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners and county administrative staff have done just that. During some of the worst economic times locally and nationally in decades and with some of the county’s traditional revenue sources slowing to a trickle, commissioners tightened the county’s financial belt, reduced its number of employees and kept the same county tax rate for the past three years. But now, county officials say, because of financial obligations associated with those 2008 bonds, the county needs increased revenues. The question then remains, what is the best way to raise revenues to help pay off obligations associated with those bonds? Our first answer to that inquiry is for commissioners and staff to continue belt-tightening and making county government leaner, more efficient and less costly. And second, the idea to raise Guilford’s sales tax rate by one-quarter of one percent (to a total of 8 percent) is surely the way to go in raising additional funds. Guilford’s 73.74 cents per $100 valuation property tax is one of the highest in the state and already places plenty of the burden for raising tax money on property owners. Raising that rate more will be detrimental to Guilford’s continued economic development and will hamper the county’s economic recovery. Besides, the proposed quartercent sales tax increase, which would raise about $15 million a year, would be funded greatly by people who actually live outside Guilford County. Studies have shown that as much as 40 percent of sales tax proceeds could come from people who live outside of Guilford. Perhaps 2010 is the year for voter approval of a Guilford County sales tax increase. Maybe the third time is the charm.

We want letters to the editor that YOU have written

D

uring Vince Wheeler’s six-year tenure as opinion page editor of The High Point Enterprise, he has worked hard to create a true public forum – in print and online – through YOUR VIEW, which stretches across the top of the opinion page every day. His rules are simple: • The Enterprise welcomes letters. • The editor reserves the right to edit letters for length and clarity and decorum. • Writers are limited to 300 words and to no more than one letter every two weeks. • Please include name, home address and daytime phone number. He accepts letters via e-mail (letterbox@hpe. com), Fax (888-3644), U.S. Postal Service (Enterprise Letter Box, P.O. Box 1009, High Point, NC 27261) and walk-ins (reception desk in the Enterprise lobby). Yes, there are a handful (or two) of readers who write letters every two weeks and a few of them try to squeeze in a guest column, which those who participate in that endeavor can submit once a quarter. Guest columns should contain between 450 and 550 words. When longer versions are submitted, Wheeler asks the authors to cut or rewrite them to the appropriate length and resubmit them. Survey results reveal that some readers tire of seeing letters – sometimes on similar subjects, often on many different topics – from familiar writers almost like clockwork every two weeks. They also show that some readers are weary of YOUR VIEW discussions/debates about religion. They also indicate that some readers believe that the Enterprise is biased because more letters are published expressing favor for one political philosophy and disdain for the other. Frankly, Wheeler and I are happy that we have “regulars” who use YOUR VIEW to express their thoughts, to provoke others to think and to spur others to write letters to the editor. The best way for you to spread the time between appearances of letters by Chuck Mann, Carl Tysinger, James R. Ricks Jr., Charles Honeycutt, Joe Rowe, James Kestler and even Cathy Brewer Hinson, is to write letters to the editor yourself. If you would rather see a variety of subjects other than religion discussed in letters to the editor, write a letter that provides another interesting topic for the public forum. During George W. Bush’s second term, when

a number of letter writers – some regulars, some once-in-a-longwhile writers – were bashing him for all manner of ills real and perceived, some of you would call or write us nasty notes accusing us of not publishing letters favoring Bush’s policies and actions. The OPINION response to those “complaints” was simple: We can’t publish Tom what we don’t get. Blount Every once in a while, the more ■■■ zealous among those working for political parties will try the there’s-strength-in-numbers-game in an attempt to influence newspaper readers, especially those coveted independents/unaffiliateds that the pundits appear to write about all too often. They tell their followers to send letters to the editor, even furnish letters for them to attach their names to and submit. Here’s an example (we have received e-mails of this exact letter from at least 16 people): “While running for office, President Obama promised that if elected, he would get us off OPEC oil within 10 years. Two years are gone and we still don’t have a plan. In fact, there is some evidence that we’re going in the wrong direction. In July 2010, we imported 388 million barrels of oil. That’s the single largest import month since President Obama was inaugurated. The NAT GAS Act will create jobs, clean up the environment and improve our national security by providing tax incentives to organizations which operate fleets of vehicles that are fueled with imported oil to be replaced with vehicles that run on domestic natural gas. Election Day will soon be here. Those who are running for office – be it open seats, incumbents or challengers – need to take a look at this legislation and make promising to reduce our need for OPEC oil a central part of their campaigns.” Yes, whoever wrote this letter meant “make promises to reduce our need for OPEC oil” but neither the author nor the robots who mailed them corrected the error. We received a halfdozen copies of this letter in one day and immediately began trashing others as they came in. That’s why we don’t have an exact count. We want letters that you write, that express your thoughts and feelings that inform others, that provoke thought, even response. Have fun!

Time off Get ready for impact of baby boomers for good E labor T

here is a scene in the beginning of the movie, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, where the title characters are fleeing a posse and find themselves trapped on a ledge, with the only escape being to jump 100 feet off into a shallow stream. When the Kid hesitates, Cassidy asks why. The Kid then confides that he can’t swim. Cassidy responds, “Swim? Hell, the fall will probably kill you!” Well, that’s similar to this biweekly Paul Revere ride/rant. Even if someone hears the warning, we’re probably way past the point of no return anyway. But since quitters are guaranteed losers, and because life often seems to be just one big crap shoot anywhoo, please watch for the lanterns one more time. Let’s begin with the illumination of a recent report revealing that federal employees averaged $123,049 in total compensation for 2009, while the private sector (and from whose taxes provide that federal compensation) received just $61,051. The last time I remember seeing that light was when I realized, at 16, that North Carolina workers earning $10,000 per year were trying to buy automobiles made by Michigan workers earning OPINION $50,000. There’s an old saying about inmates Steve running the asylum, Bryant and another statistic ■■■ shows that federal employees vote overwhelmingly Democrat, but you can draw your own conclusions. Besides, it’s possible that federal employees are worth more anyway. I know they must be stressed out at their jobs because you can tell by the performance. Take poor old Democrat Rep. Charlie Rangle from New York, for example. This man is charged with the task of making sure everyone is patriotic and pays their taxes properly. He has been such a workaholic that he completely forgot to mention that he owns a bunch of resort properties down in the Caribbean and didn’t even have time to report his rental income from them for the past 20 years. Now, that’s dedication. And there’s Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters from California, who is responsible for making sure everyone in the federal government is ethical. I’m pretty sure the reading public understands the workload that job requires in Washington, D.C., but this woman was so swamped that she completely forgot that her husband was on the board of a failing bank that she thought needed some legal influence from her office. I guess you could say that being a federal employee is just like owning your own business because they all seem to be taking their work home with them. Apparently, the job gets more demanding as the pay grade rises. At least we working stiffs get to relax and have a couple of beers when the whistle blows, but the big guy has to drink his beer with work guys, and on TV to boot! And, he has to treat the bitter, Bible-clinging Christians just like he does the constitutionally protected Muslims. The big guy’s family pays a price, too. For example, the First Lady has to set the tone for the nation and put her personal life on hold. When we are struggling along as a nation, it gives us an inspirational boost when we see our leaders sacrifice, so she went along with the plan to pal around with Spanish royalty for a week, and then go down to the redneck Rivera on the Gulf before she finally got to take a real vacation. They’re swamped! And speaking of swamped, all of these Democrat public servants had the additional responsibility of helping Nancy Pelosi keep her promise to drain the congressional swamp of the mean Republicans. I know we can’t afford to give these public servants a pay raise right now but they do deserve something. Maybe some time off. OK, let’s get this right: One, if by land. Two, if ...

very 60 seconds an American turns 60. Adults 65 and older are the fastest growing segment of our population. Known as the “Baby Boomers,” this group born between 1946 and 1964 has forged change in every decade since their birth, but nothing like we are about to see. Begin with the work force. At the turn of the century, 65 percent of men age 65 and older were still working. By 1950, that number dropped to 47 percent and in 2008 it was only 21 percent. Because many boomers haven’t saved enough for financial security and their retirement accounts have taken big hits, you can expect the retirement trend to slow or even reverse. But as they seek new employment, this group is running into America’s obsession with youth. Business, government, religion,

in fact most all groups make a conscious effort to go young when making hiring and leadership selections. MY SPIN Boomers are already comTom plaining about Campbell perceived age ■■■ discrimination and will flex their muscles, either in courts or at the voting box, to change this trend. Even those forced to work might not want full-time work but they will demand meaningful things to do. As a growing number work well into their 70s, many jobs will be redesigned so two or more part-time employees can perform what had been a single full-time task. Even in retirement, with children grown and gone, there’s just so much time they are will-

ing to dote over grandchildren. This group will have a lot of leisure time. There are opportunities aplenty for North Carolina. Many retirees have already relocated, especially along the coast, in the Pinehurst area and in the mountains. They are ideal residents, not putting large demands on schools or other public services; many have money to spend to boost local economies. Our communities could be destinations for those over 60, but must offer more than just pleasant weather and low property taxes. The boomers will want things to do, cultural amenities, educational and relationship opportunities. Look for greater demand on smaller homes in friendly neighborhoods and more independent living communities with amenities that provide for a healthier, more active lifestyle. Volunteer

organizations will find a cadre of people who want to help but that doesn’t mean answering phones or stuffing envelopes. The travel and tourism industry will expand options. Could we see a Disney World for seniors? That’s another thing. This group doesn’t like being called seniors, golden-agers or prime-timers. We need another name that doesn’t sound like it came from the 1950s. But get ready, because here they come in large numbers. If we are smart, we can take advantage of this growing opportunity while also helping them enjoy their later years.

Misdirected Stimulus funding isn’t helping employers still looking for employees

J

ames Ledbetter, editor of The Big Money, a business news web site, may have recently explained why Americans are not seeing a positive improvement in the national job market. Not only that, but he tackled the issue of why companies appear to be looking for employees while employees are looking for work. Unfortunately, as many may expect, it’s due to a failed stimulus package. A simplified explanation of Ledbetter’s reasoning is based on the stimulus package misdirecting economic activity. In other words, investments OPINION were placed in industries Armstrong that were not Williams growing or had suitable candidates for employment. Rather, funds were allocated to industries that would benefit least. This has caused employers looking for employees that aren’t qualified, and employees looking for jobs. Clearly intentions aren’t aligned. An obvious example of where this will most likely happen in the near future is the health care industry.

----

For the most part there is a specific, trained skill set that one must have acquired to get these jobs. Once everyone has health care, hospitals will need to create more positions to fulfill business demand. However, the labor force may not be ready for this due to training. Additionally, the industry already has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation at somewhere around 3.2 percent. Although the above example isn’t a direct response to the stimulus, it clearly depicts scenarios that are being played out on a microlevel with industries and companies across the nation. So, when people say: where are the jobs? Well, they’re here according to James Ledbetter; just not where they

will benefit Americans. What will it take for the Obama Administration to give small business owners a break ? With the health care bill and small business loan stimulus package, this administration is only looking to appease large corporations and the lobbyist who represent them. The President’s proposed small business package will further expand the already out of control deficit. Obamacare could have been a vehicle to reduce the pressure of small business startups that are inundated with the looming astronomical cost of health care. However, small businesses startups –those defined as having fewer than 25 employees, aren’t even apart of

Obamacare for the first two years. Large and not small corporations have more access. In effect, if an individual seeking employment is offered $12 an hour working at Starbucks or a startup coffee house, Starbucks has the proxy because they offer health insurance. Obamacare can’t fathom how this would severely impact small businesses in the long run. The small business stimulus package, to provide finance for loans to small businesses, is just as egregious. Small businesses will be forced to get an I-9 for every purchase they make. In effect, an I-9 is needed to buy a computer from Office Depot. To simplify the process, small business owners will be channeled to large firms, not other small startups. If the Obama administration was really serious (which they’re not) about helping small businesses, one could assume that this legislation would have been written to empower the business owners that are responsible for 90 percent of the jobs in our country.

We will not redevelop ‘downtown’ BY TOM TERRELL

H

igh Point has adopted no plans to redevelop what traditionally has been called the “downtown,” although recent news coverage may have suggested otherwise. Regarding downtowns, one fact is inescapable. In the history of the world there has never been a great city shaped like a Krispy Kreme doughnut, where the center is missing and the good parts lie on the periphery. Every great city has a strong center where its economic, cultural, educational and civic components thrive, each feeding and promoting the other. One other fact is inescapable. History provides no other example of a city whose core is almost exclusively devoted to buildings serving a semi-annual trade show which – by design – are unused forty-eight weeks of the year. High Point is unique. Our pathway to a vital urban center must also be unique. We have no other cities to follow.

GUEST COLUMN

---

As High Point’s furniture market grew larger, local voices calling for replacement of the traditional downtown life that was lost grew louder. When the city recently hired consultants to work with local leaders to engage in a lengthy study of High Point’s core, one theme was often repeated: the “market” won and we shouldn’t try to compete with it. We’ve been competing with it for years to no success. The Core City Plan adopted by the High Point City Council calls for a “downtown” but not where it once existed. The plan calls the area south of the tracks the “Showroom District” and advocates that it remain a single-use area. It suggests developing the area just north of the tracks as “mixed use.” This area may include showrooms, but the plan also encourages non-showroom uses such as office and retail. What we traditionally

think of as “downtown” – the place where neighbors shop and dine and stroll and the place that gives our city a character of its own – will be the area described in the plan as “Uptowne.” The center of Uptowne is the section of N. Main Street that lies between Ray Street on the south end and the Chamber of Commerce at State Street on the north end. The City Council adopted design and use restrictions for the Uptowne section to encourage a pedestrianfriendly environment and to prevent such things as used car lots, tattoo parlors and gaudy signage. A local Uptowne group has begun the branding process, and the City Project is working daily to generate activity and ideas. Continued use of the word “downtown” in this context causes confusion. It doesn’t matter where these traditional urban activities occur, as long as they anchor a city’s life from the center. Shifting our vital, urban center northward by a few blocks, as we have done, is

logical and workable, and it opens realistic doorways for growth and success. The City Council’s decision earlier this year not to delineate the “Market District” with specificity was in no respect a repudiation of the broader plan adopted by the City Council to create a new urban center north of that district, and we still have an area called the Market (or Showroom) District. Recent news stories reviving the market district issue reflect the public misperception of redevelopment below the tracks. Although Mendenhall Station may be a good location for a band, it does not anchor an adopted effort to return to this part of our city for the life which our limited vocabulary calls “downtown.” “Downtown” has moved to “Uptowne.” The memo was released more than two years ago. We all just need to read it. TOM TERRELL was the chairman of the Core City Steering Committee and the City Project’s first board chairman.

Report: Blackwater created network of shell companies WASHINGTON (AP) – The security company Blackwater Worldwide formed a network of 30 shell companies and subsidiaries to try to get millions of dollars in government business after the company faced strong criticism for reckless conduct in Iraq, The New York Times reported Friday. The newspaper said that it was unclear how many of the created companies got American contracts but that at least three of them obtained work with the U.S. military and the CIA. Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has asked the Justice Department to see whether Blackwater misled the government when using the subsidiaries to gain government contracts, according to the Times. It said Levin’s committee found that North Carolina-based Blackwater, which now is known as Xe Services, went to great lengths to find ways to get lucrative government work despite criminal charges and criticism stemming from a 2007 incident in which Blackwater guards killed 17 Iraqi civilians. A committee chart outlines the web of Blackwater subsidiaries. Messages left late Fri-

day with spokespeople for the Michigan Democrat and Xe were not immediately answered. The 2007 incident and other reports of abuses by Blackwater employees in Iraq led to criminal investigations and congressional hearings, and resulted in the company losing a lucrative contract with the State Department to provide security in Iraq. But recently the company was awarded a $100 million contract to provide security for the agency in Afghanistan, prompting criticism from some in Congress. CIA Director Leon Panetta said that the CIA had no choice but to hire the company because it underbid others by $26 million and that a CIA review concluded that the contractor had cleaned up its act. Last year, Panetta canceled a contract with Xe that allowed the company’s operatives to load missiles on Predator drones in Pakistan and shifted the work to government personnel. However, the Times quoted former Blackwater officials as saying that at least two Blackwater-affiliated companies, XPG and Greystone, obtained secret contracts from the CIA to provide security to agency operatives.

Recession (pt. 2)? Experts see trouble ahead for developed world CERNOBBIO, Italy (AP) – Is the global economy out of the woods? Two years after nearmeltdown, with the U.S. looking sluggish, equity markets groggy and Europeans fighting a debt crisis, experts gathered in Italy offered a generally gloomy outlook – especially for the United States and much of the industrialized world. The doomsayers were led by New York University economist Nouriel Roubini, who warned in booming tones that “there is a significant risk of a doubledip recession in the United States” as well as in Japan and many European countries.

Some of the assembled experts and leaders at the annual Ambrosetti Forum on the shores of Lake Como were somewhat more upbeat: economist Edwin Truman, a senior fellow of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, predicted that “the most likely global outlook is subpar growth.” But most appeared to agree on a sobering array of basic problems standing in the way of true recovery: • Many of the growth drivers in place since the collapse of Lehman Brothers are winding up or have ended, including not only the massive stimulus spending but tax breaks,

schemes such as the “cash for clunkers” program and – for some countries like Russia – high commodity prices. • The stimulus deemed necessary to jump-start moribund economies soon causes deficits and debt, upsetting the markets enough to spur austerity – which undermines growth. • Most of the world’s growth stems from a developing world led by China – which is so dependent on exports that it needs the West to continue to buy, and so will suffer if recovery in the rich world proves short-lived. • Europe continues to lose competitiveness partly because of the euro, which – for all the fretting over its dip earlier this year at the height of the Greek debt crisis – remains high in purchasing price parity terms versus the U.S. dollar. • The sector that is widely

seen as the spark of the global recession – U.S. real estate – has not recovered, with house-buying flat and the mortgage market, with its related financial instruments, essentially still in ruins. • The jobs picture is not improving and in parts of the developed world – such as Spain, with some 20 percent unemployment – it is disastrous. The warnings come amid mixed news on indicators. The European Central Bank raised its growth projections Thursday, and its president, Jean-Claude Trichet, said recession was “not in the cards.” But the bank said the situation remained uncertain and that it would keep measures to supply banks with additional credit in place until the end of the year. The U.S. unemployment rate rose in August for the first time in four months

----

as hiring by private employers proved insufficient to keep pace with a large increase in the number of people looking for work. The Labor Department said Friday that companies did add a net total 67,000 new jobs last month, down from July’s upwardly revised total of 107,000. But more than a half-million Americans resumed their job searches, which drove up the jobless rate to 9.6 percent from 9.5 percent in July – a figure above the rate in Britain and Germany. “I see a very weak labor market,” said Roubini, who gained celebrity for predicting the global collapse of 2008 when others were still celebrating the boom times. He noted unemployment is close to 10 percent and almost 17 percent when including discouraged workers or partially employed ones.

Club owner tastes success BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – It takes a lot of hard work to earn the High Point Chamber of Commerce’s annual Small Business Advocate of the Year Award.

ing to the chamber. An Indiana native, Garry moved to High Point after marrying Ivan Garry, a furniture showroom leasing agent and real estate broker in the city. She studied psychology at Butler University and business at Indiana University, but she also worked in catering while in school. She and her husband started a family soon after moving to High Point. Garry said she loved being a stay-athome mom, but she also needed a productive hobby on the side. That’s when she began to delve into the catering world again. “My husband and I loved to entertain people at our home,” she said. “That led me back to cooking and catering, which eventually led me here.” She catered to some

furniture showrooms in the city and earned a reputation for being an excellent chef and event organizer. The String and Splinter’s board of directors approached Garry about becoming a social director at the club. A month later, she moved into the position of general manager. Besides daily taste tests of menu items at the club, Garry said she also enjoys making her guests feel like they are at home. She often goes about her job as if she were still entertaining guests in her own house, she said. But the variety of faces that pass through the club each day give her job an added flavor. “To be surrounded by so many phenomenal people – I have

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Galen Kipe hasn’t smoked a cigarette in more than three months. He couldn’t kick his habit of 17 years with nicotine patches or gum. He finally put away his Marlboro menthols for good by swapping them for electronic cigarettes, which look like the real thing and give him his nicotine fix but do not contain tobacco. “It’s the closest thing to what I was doing before,” the 34-year-old steelworker from Asheboro, N.C., said. “I’m still getting the nicotine, but I don’t feel like I’m getting any kind of bad side effects. It can’t be any worse than actual cigarettes.” As they become more popular, the battery-powered cigarettes have become the center of a fight over how risky they are compared with traditional smokes, whether they’re legal and, if they are, how they should be regulated. E-cigarettes are made of plastic and metal and heat a liquid nicotine solution in a disposable cartridge, creating vapor that the “smoker” inhales. A tiny light on the tip even glows like a real cigarette. Nearly 46 million Americans smoke traditional cigarettes. About 40 percent try to quit cold turkey or with other nicotine replacements each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But unlike patches or gums, e-smokes operate in a legal gray area. The Food and Drug Administration and public health groups have sounded the alarm, saying they contain dangerous chemicals and are being marketed to children, and the federal agency has halted shipments of e-cigarettes at ports nationwide. Some sellers of e-cigarettes sued the FDA last year after the agency instructed customs officials to refuse entry of shipments into the U.S. A federal judge ruled that the FDA can’t stop those shipments, saying the agency had overstepped its authority. The FDA appealed, and won a stay of that ruling, pending oral arguments that are set to begin this month. The FDA claims it has the authority to regulate e-cigarettes as drug-delivery devices, which would require proving – probably through expensive clinical trials – that they are safe and effective as a stop-smoking aid.

Yates makes business recruitment, retention a priority Before you read...

----

First in a series profiling area political hopefuls. “Meet the Candidates” will run each Sunday on page 2C.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Todd Yates is running for a seat on the Davidson County Board of Commissioners. Born in Denton, he lived in Georgia until moving back to Denton in the 1980s, where he went into business with his father, also a Denton native, contracting with the N.C. Department of Transportation to mow grass in two counties for a period of three years. Yates managed all operations and 16 employees. In 1985, he began his own business venture that has evolved into three businesses today – Yates Grading &

Paving, Yates Disposal and TCB Builders, which is a highway bridge building company that builds bridges in North Carolina, South Carolina and soon in Georgia. Yates did not provide a party affiliation. Q: What can the commissioners do to help with economic development and job creation? A: If elected, I would like for the county commissioners to meet on a quarterly basis to discuss how we can improve our existing businesses. There are a lot of good reasons to look for new businesses, but there are also a lot of good reasons to improve our existing businesses that we have here in Davidson County. Being a business owner in Davidson County for 25 years, it is difficult at times to give incentives to new businesses when our business-

es that have been here for years only receive higher taxes. With the teamwork of our current business owners and the creativity of the county commissioners, we can initiate a plan that would benefit everyone. I’m not totally against incentives, I just want to weigh all options and get some new ideas. Q: What revenue sources should the commissioners pursue to help with the fiscal and budgetary situation of the county? A: I will not pursue any additional revenues. With the downfall of the economy and low property tax, this will be a drawing card for new businesses that are trying to cut as much cost as possible to stay afloat. County officials and commissioners will need to keep spending as low as possible to run as lean county a possible.

Q: What will your priorities be if elected? A: I want to earn the respect of the Davidson County citizens and do everything I can to keep them informed on the goals that we are trying to achieve. I would like to stream the county meetings live via Internet, if not too costly. The top priority for me is the people and businesses, and we must put these good people back to work and keep the existing businesses secure. I will work day and night with anyone who would like to work on this priority to make it happen. I’m confident that if we install sewer to several interchanges on I-85, it will bring several hundred jobs and a greater tax base than the vacant land that is there now. We have some very nice parks, but we need a sports complex to provide a place large enough for the soccer and baseball tournaments for our children.

Mason sets sights on school safety, technology upgrades ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Gary Mason is seeking a seat on the Randolph County Board of Education. A lifelong resident of Randolph County and a graduate of Eastern Randolph High School, he holds an associate’s degree from Emmanuel College and a bachelor’s degree from Guilford College. Mason retired from the Asheboro Police Department after 30 years of service, including nine as chief. He has served on the N.C. Criminal Justice Education Training and Standards Commission and the board of directors for the Asheboro/ Randolph Chamber of Commerce and currently serves on the board of directors for Cross Road Retirement Center. He currently works as an independent Insurance Adjuster on a part-time basis. He is active at Cross Road Baptist Church, serving as a Sunday school teacher

and deacon. He also does a lot of lay speaking in area Piedmont churches. He and his wife, Joanna McNeill, have two children, Q: Public school systems traditionally were able to offset lower salaries to workers who could make more in the private sector through job security and stability. What should the school system do to help retain quality employees at a time of budgetary cutbacks and layoffs? A: The economic crisis is having a direct impact on our school system. 20112012 has every indication of having a major budget shortfall. A major issue will be to address how to retain quality teachers in the wake of cutbacks all across the state in personnel positions. The board is going to have to think outside the box to address this issue. Laying off teachers has to be a last resort. In order to retain quality teachers, we must provide

them with administrative support and backing, provide a safe and secure environment in which to work, seek out creative funding avenues for supplement increases, provide professional growth opportunities that directly impact the classroom, and provide mentoring for new teachers. Q: How can school systems balance the need for diversified schools with the desire by many parents to have neighborhood schools? A: We are very fortunate in Randolph County to have a school system where our schools are generally neighborhood schools and do reflect the diversity of our communities. I do not think that Randolph County has the same challenges in this area as many of the other school systems around us. Q: What would be your priorities be if elected?

A: (1) School safety and security for all students, teachers and staff. As a law enforcement officer, I feel that my insight and experience can be valuable in developing and implementing policies and procedures in helping to maintain safe and orderly school campuses. (2) Funding issues – planning and implementation of new funding ideas that will enhance our schools. (3) Technology plan that will result in having Smartboards in every classroom and more controlled computer access for our students and staff. (4) A continued focus on the basic educational needs of our children. We also must recognize that not every child will attend a college or university. All children must have life skills to survive in this life. I think we have gotten away from this and put the focus mainly on those destined for higher learning; (5) Supporting teachers.

Midwest survey reveals recession fears OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – More than a third of supply managers in nine Midwest and Plains states surveyed for a regional business index expect the U.S. economy to fall into another recession next year, even as key measures of the index remained positive. As part of the monthly Mid-America survey released Wednesday, supply managers were asked their expectations, and 35 percent said it was likely or very likely that it would move back into recession in 2011. Only 21 percent indicated it was unlikely or very unlikely. The remainder said there was a 50 percent chance.

August’s overall economic index dropped from 60.8 in July to August’s 55.8 – the report’s lowest level since January, though still in positive territory. The August jobs index dropped to 55.2 from 58.8 in July, which also remains above growth-neutral. The report uses a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Any score above 50 suggests economic growth in the next three to six months, while a score below 50 suggests a contracting economy. States in the survey are Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

When to use a job-hunting service BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

The poor reputation of many job-hunting services should make you pause before you invest in one, whatever the cost. Job hunting is marketing, pure and simple. Scour the field for the essential marketing component in the background behind a person offering a product or service. If that person landed jobs and turned down other offers, you know that you’ve found a good source. One question will give you your answer.

INKLINGS How do you know when you need a service of some kind? Perhaps you haven’t job hunted for a while. Perhaps you have. Perhaps you’re a whiz at it but haven’t updated your information. Keep in mind that marketing is the sine qua non of job hunting. Without it, you’re not likely to find a job any time soon in any market, but particularly not in this one. You might think that Gregory “Greg” Quirk of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, should be able to go it alone. He brings eight years of experience as a marketing manager in high tech. He should know strategy and social networking. Quirk discovered that he’d hit a brick wall after six months of job hunting, which had generated three interviews and

generic automatic acknowledgments of his applications. He did land some short contracts, but he’d had enough of job hunting. “I reviewed everything that I’d been doing,” he says, “and realized that, after a few days of looking up all of the companies that I could think of, and contacting everyone in my network who might be able to provide me with leads, I was out of ideas. Each morning I’d turn on the computer and look at the same places that I’d been searching the day before. The lack of change over the previous day was repetitive and disheartening.” Another person, Carl Reid of Savvy Intrapreneur in New York City, now a technology consultant focusing on social media, was running his “career like a business. I realized I couldn’t do it by myself. What I was doing surely wasn’t working.” Somewhat similarly, project manager Lisa Ontell of Fort Lee, N.J.’s Elder Matters “that matter” LLC., returned to school for certifications in project management and gerontology. She wanted to counter isolation from other people and their ideas. “(Job hunting) alone is very difficult.” she explains. “I initially went to a professional services group for the unemployed that’s free. Job hunting groups give you support, an opportunity to share information and job leads, and the feel-

ing that you’re with a group of people.”

DECISIONS All three seemed to know that networking was important, but Reid, who was after “the synergy of other people,” found that the free meetings he attended weren’t teaching him enough. That came as no surprise, because he’d coached technical people, some accountants and some executives, “even taking them to haberdashery to tell them how to dress,” he points out. “People were helpful, but I was left to my own devices. Even though I had 50 cards in my pockets, I didn’t know what to do.” After investing $100 in a course by Empowering Today’s Professionals (ETP), he found a $150,000 contract. Ontell explored a large number of networking and educational venues before investing $75 for a year with ETP. Quirk researched the Web, took out library books and was still hungry for good information. Then, “intrigued” by what he learned at a local networking session about “guerrilla marketing,” he subsequently bought and read a book on the subject by David Perry. Then he spoke with the author and bought his $997 US home-study course, which comes with a 90day money-back guarantee if the reader is still jobless in ten weeks. Not all of the information was new, but he views job hunt-

any program for that matter, is worth the investment.” DR. MILDRED L. CULP is an awardwinning journalist. E-mail questions or comments to culp@workwise.net.

FISHER KING: Seminoles cruise in new coach’s debut. 3D

North Wilkesboro Speedway goes green again A

little after 2 p.m. Saturday, the throaty roar of stockcars at full speed stirred the ghosts of racing’s past in Wilkes County. About 5,000 people filled a portion of the frontstretch grandstand to watch the first late model event at North Wilkesboro Speedway, bringing back memories of the days that NASCAR’s premier division graced the .625-mile track from 1949 until it shut down in 1996 when its owners shifted its dates to other tracks. Mike Staley, who served as the track’s president after the passing of his father and track co-founder Enoch Staley, was on hand to wave the green flag at the start of the 200-lap feature and was overjoyed that a group finally was able to lease the track for racing from owner Bruton Smith. “I like the energy,” said Staley, who isn’t involved with the track’s new operating group headed by former racer Alton McBride Jr. and also includes Benny Parsons’ wife Terri and former racer Bosco Lowe. Memories were generated when Bobby Allison, a four-time Wilkesboro winner, and his brother Donnie served as grand marshals and rode on the back of a restored 1971 Torino that served as the track’s pace car. “I’m thrilled about it,” Bobby Allison said about the reopening. “This was one of my favorite places to race.” The place showed years of neglect. The inside wall on the frontstretch and the outside wall in turns three and four gleamed with fresh coats of paint, but the paint on the first and second turn walls was peeling and faded, revealing sponsors of days past such as Pontiac and First Union and Coca-Cola. Paint on some buildings was faded and peeling. The concrete in the garage area was crumbling. The track surface was the same as the one in 1996. The scoreboard didn’t work, with a third of the paint on the Winston Cup sign atop it gone. “I just hate that the former owners let it fall into disrepair,” Staley said of Smith and Bob Bahre. “To me this is like (the old) Yankee Stadium.” As in the old days, a hydraulic lift carried the winning cars from the ground to victory lane on top of an infield building, thanks to what McBride said was about 100 hours of work over three weeks that ended last week. The first to use it was Mack Little, the current Sportsman points leader at Caraway Speedway and a city of High Point employee. Michael Tucker of Thomasville was the second when he prevailed in a Mini-Stock race. The triumph from the pole in the Limited Sportsman race that opened the show was special for Little and was part of the connections between past and present. “My dad won four Modified races here with Gerald Compton

and Jay Hedgecock driving,” Little said. “I can remember going to victory lane here when I was 10 or 12 years old. “This was the biggest win of my SPORTS career because this was Wilkesboro Greer and the reopening Smith and everything,” ■■■ The past met the present when Bill Elliott’s son Chase won the 200-lap PASS feature to do something that his father never did – win at Wilkesboro. Winning on the historic track was not lost on Elliott, even though he was a year old when the track closed. “It’s awesome when you consider all the big names who have won here,” Elliott said. McBride, a former racer who has worked for Cup teams, said his group worked three years before finally securing a threeyear lease with an uninterrupted option from Smith almost 10 months ago. “This is everything we’d had hoped it would be and then some,” McBride said as the PASS race took the green flag. “We’ve been working so hard for the past nine months – every series that will run here, all our staff, the mayor of North Wilkesboro and commissioners. It really hasn’t sunk in yet. It’s a high I can’t put into words. It’s been work and painful work, but it has been rewarding.” The work seemed never ending as McBride and the others tried to prove wrong those who doubted the track would reopen. “We’ve worked solid for nine months,” McBride said. “I’ve been here nearly every day. The mayor of North Wilkesboro, who is an electrician by trade, has been here every day. We fixed the sewage, fixed the water – we’re on city water, which was huge. We spent a lot of money, but it was well worth it.” The main event was forgettable outside of Elliott making up for getting beat on a restart with 14 laps to go by blasting into the lead on a restart four laps later (caution laps did not count). “I messed that up,” Elliott said. “I didn’t see the green flag come out. But the car was good enough that I thought I could get the lead back, even if it had gone green.” It became forgettable for High Point’s Ryan Blaney when troubles with his right-rear tire dropped him five laps behind. He finished 14th. “The tire wasn’t mounted all the way on the wheel,” said Blaney, who ran in the top five before the misfortune. “The car was good and I was biding my time. Then we had the problem and lost four laps and you can’t make that up.” What will be remembered over time is that Wilkesboro reopened. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

omething magical is taking shape in the National League Central. With about a month to go, the Reds have opened up a sizable lead over the Cardinals in the race for the division flag. But another Reds-Cardinals battle could go right down to the wire. Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto and St. Louis first baseman Albert Pujols carry legitimate NL triple crown hopes. No Senior Circuit slugger has captured the triple crown since Cardinal outfielder Joe “Ducky” Medwick in 1937.

N.C. State’s Dean Haynes (29) fends off Western Carolina’s Brandon Vaught during the first half of Saturday night’s game at Carter-Finley Stadium.

Wilson, Wolfpack wallop Western RALEIGH (AP) – Russell Wilson passed for 306 yards and four touchdowns to help N.C. State defeat Western Carolina 48-7 on Saturday night. Wilson completed 21 of 31 passes, engineering seven consecutive scoring drives as the Wolfpack won their season opener for the first time in four tries under coach Tom O’Brien. N.C. State, which scored three points in its previous two season openers combined, enjoyed its highest scoring output in a first game since a 59-20 win over Western Carolina in 2003. T.J. Graham posted career highs with six receptions for 96 yards and two touchdowns – all in the first half – for the Wolfpack. Freshman tailbacks Dean Haynes and Mustafa Greene each added a third-quarter rushing touchdown for N.C. State.

Western Carolina dropped to 0-26 all-time against current members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Catamounts went 87 yards on 10 plays to score a touchdown on the game’s first possession, but amassed just 102 yards on 39 plays the rest of the game. A mistake by Western on special teams ignited State’s attack. After their opening score, the Catamounts forced State to punt after three plays. But Deja Alexander muffed the catch on the short kick, and Taylor Gentry recovered for N.C. State on the Western Carolina 26 yard line. Wilson found Graham streaking down the seam uncovered on the next play for a touchdown, the first of four scoring strikes in as many possessions for Wilson. Graham put the Pack ahead 14-7 with his second scoring grab of the opening quarter.

Big rally saves Mountaineers CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) – Quarterback DeAndre Presley scooped up a fumble by Matt Cline after completing a pass to him and ran it in from 33 yards out, capping a 28-point Appalachian State fourth quarter in a 42-41 victory over Chattanooga on Saturday. Chattanooga got within a point on a 3-yard run by quarterback B.J. Coleman with 51 seconds left. The Mocs tried for a 2-point conversion, but Coleman’s pass was incomplete and

Appalachian State recovered an onside kickoff. Presley completed 22 of 29 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns for the Mountaineers. Coleman was 23-for-37, also for 340 yards, and threw for three touchdowns for the Mocs. Trailing 35-14 one play into the fourth quarter, the Mountaineers scored three touchdowns in a 3:53 span, getting the ball back one time on a fumbled kickoff return and again when Coleman fumbled after a sack.

HIT AND RUN

GEORGETOWN DAVIDSON

That could change this season. Entering the weekend, Votto ranked first in RBIs with 97, second in batting at .325, and tied for third in homers with 32. Pujols, meanwhile, stood first in homers with 35, second in RBIs with 95 and fifth in batting at .313. One of these men could wear the crown, unless Colorado center fielder Carlos Gonzalez foils them both. This unheralded Rockie could strike triple crown gold before it’s over. He ranks first in batting at .332, third in RBIs with 93 and fifth in homers with 31.

I can’t remember the last time three National League hitters were poised for triple crown glory this late in the same season. Granted, Atlanta’s Martin Prado is within striking distance in the batting race, while Washington’s Adam Dunn remains a major player in the home run chase. But it’s basically a three-way race for the NL lead in all three triple crown categories. This adds excitement to a stretch drive already loaded with great playoff drama.

Special plays spark Raiders to f irst victory BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Kenova Childress did miss an extra point kick Friday night. Short, of all things. For all that, though, the T. Wingate Andrews special teams enjoyed some special performances in a 37-3 win over Grimsley. “We missed that first kick, but we got it together, did what we had to do,” Childress said. “It felt good.” Childress booted a punt that was downed on the 2-yard-line by Jamarii Milliken, which in turn set up a safety when Antonio Jackson tackled a Grimsley runner in the end zone. That play in turn led to a 61-yard scoring drive capped by Marquez Swinton’s 15-yard pass to Mark

Jones, with Swinton’s two-point conversion run on a fake PAT making it 23-3 with 2:46 to play in the third quarter. Darrin Miller’s 43-yard punt return set up an Antonio Watts 2-yard TD run for the Raiders’ final touchdown. Johnson’s 22yard punt return gave the offense the ball at the Grimsley 31 to set up its first touchdown with 7:10 to play in the second quarter. Less than two minutes later, the Raiders danced into the end zone again. Why? Because of special teams. On the kickoff after that first touchdown, Simeon Robbins sent a seemingly innocent ball angling toward the opposite sideline from his teeing position. Turns out he was aiming for coach Rodney McKoy, who was standing mere yards from where

the streaking Milliken pounced on the loose ball in front of two Whirlies. “I came down here on the sidelines and was standing there where I wanted him to aim,” McKoy said of the kick, which was called when Raiders coaches saw Grimsley leaving some 25 yards between their front and back return lines. “He kicked it absolutely perfect, and we needed that.” It only took five plays from that spot on the 24-yard line for Andrews to score and go up 13-3 at halftime. From that point on, the defense played better, the offense played better, and a special teams unit that McKoy said “killed us” in last week’s loss to Charlotte Country Day kept the momentum going. “We’ve got a young team – it

WALLBURG – Southwest Guilford coach Scott Schwarzer has a simple message for loyal fans of the Cowboys’ budding football program. “Right now, the culture is starting to change a little bit at Southwest.” The understated Schwarzer is incredibly pleased with the progress his squad has made since last season, when the team averaged fewer than two touchdowns per game. For a second straight year, the Cowboys are off to a torrid 3-0 start. This season, however, the team features an explosive offense that put up the points in a 36-3 win over Ledford on Friday. The night belonged to the running game for Southwest, as has often been the case this season. The triple-option attack directed by Airyn Willis has flourished in its mix of runs designed to gash and wear down opposing defenses, combined with the occasional big hit in the passing game. Two such plays helped give the Cowboys a decided advantage over Ledford’s overmatched defense. Willis connected twice

with burner Jarvis Dow on passing plays of 41 and 38 yards, while Willis narrowly missed a touchdown of more than 50 yards in the first half when he tossed it through the hands of his receiver. Willis continues to make headlines with his versatile play behind center, but teams are quickly realizing they can’t key in on the quarterback because the other playmakers in the offense will punish defenses. “We knew coming in that teams were going to take away Airyn Willis,” said Schwarzer. “Six kids carried the ball tonight – that says a lot about our offense. The kids believe in what we’re doing.” The 3-0 start is not unfamiliar territory for Southwest. The Cowboys were paced by their defense last year in getting off to a fantastic start before skidding late. A more balanced squad promises of a greater likelihood to continue its success. The next opportunity to build on the early-season momentum is next week against T.W. Andrews. “We were at this point last year,” Schwarzer said. “We know next week is a very important game. It is not just another game, but it is important.”

HIGH POINT – Déjà vu can be a frightening experience. It certainly was Thursday night for the Lexington Yellow Jackets at A.J. Simeon Stadium. Lexington had every opportunity to gain an advantage over High Point Central and yet somehow the Bison came away each time with crucial turnovers at the most imperative times – which explained how HPC came away with a 24-15 win. The transition from the first quarter to the second became the game’s turning point. Yellow Jackets tailback MarQuez Grayson ripped off a 59-yard run at the end of the first period and was brought down only after he took the ball inside the Bison 10yard line. Two plays later, quarterback Al Challenger began the second quarter by fumbling a snap at the goal line. This instantaneous shift in momentum was made more palpable when three quick strikes from Central QB Drew Adams for a combined 86 yards suddenly left Lexington trailing 7-6. The Jackets were able to take the lead back on the next series, as Challenger hit Grayson for

a brilliant 60-yard TD screen pass. They further extended the advantage by driving Central back and watching the Bison momentarily self-destruct on a lost snap over the head of punter Austin Miller for a safety. The 15-7 halftime lead was soon a distant memory, however, with Central re-taking the lead at 17-15 and a stunning sequence of events for Lexington left the Jackets slack-jawed at their disastrous broken record. Challenger led Lexington on a 17-play, 93-yard drive that spanned the last four minutes of the third quarter and the first four of the fourth. With the game on the line, the Yellow Jackets decided to go for the touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 1. The result was a mirror image of Challenger’s first turnover and the game was brought full circle. Lexington’s center was unable to get the ball to Challenger cleanly and the ball tumbled away from the signal-caller and into the arms of a swarming Bison defense at the goal line. In a cruel irony, it was Adams that again led Central 99 yards down the field to twist the knife and soak up all but two minutes of the clock. Central plays at Smith on Friday.

was good for everybody to get confident and know that we can score,” Swinton said of the boost provided in the early stages. “I told my offensive line they’ve got to block like they’ve never blocked before, our wide receivers that they’ve got to catch like they’ve never caught before, my running backs that they’ve got to run like they’ve never run before. I’ve got to play like I’ve never played before. I’ve got to step up and be a leader. I’ve been in this offense for three years now.” Friday’s game proved that it’s easier for one unit to step up when the others perform at a high level as well. Andrews (1-2) will try for more of the same Friday at rival Southwest Guilford (3-0).

GREENSBORO – Redshirt sophomore Kameron Smith, a transfer from the U.S. Naval Academy, accounted for 65 yards and the gamewinning touchdown on the Rams final drive

pleted a 13-yard pass before powering his way into the endzone from seven yards out to give WSSU the lead for good with only 41 seconds remaining. The Rams improved to 2-0, while the Aggies fell to 0-1.

FSU routs Samford in Fisher’s debut THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Christian Ponder threw four first-half touchdown passes and Greg Reid returned a punt 74 yards for another score as No. 20 Florida State celebrated Jimbo Fisher’s coaching debut with a 59-6 victory over lower-division Samford (Ala.) Saturday. The Seminoles exploded for 35 points during an 11-minute span of the second quarter to build a 42-0 lead in the season opener for both schools.

(16) GEORGIA TECH 41, S.C. STATE 10 ATLANTA – Quarterback Joshua Nesbitt ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns, Roddy Jones added two scoring runs and No. 16 Georgia Tech beat S.C. State 41-10 on Saturday. S.C. State sophomore Asheton Jordan had 17 carries for 125 yards and set up the Bulldogs’ only touchdown with a 55-yard run in the third quarter.

VIRGINIA 34, RICHMOND 13 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Keith Payne ran for four touchdowns and Virginia ended a four-year losing streak in season openers with a 34-13 victory

against Richmond on Saturday night. Payne, who was finished with football until Al Groh was fired and Mike London replaced him after last season, carried 16 times for 114 yards.

CLEMSON 35, NORTH TEXAS 10 CLEMSON, S.C. – Andre Ellington and Jamie Harper each scored twice for Clemson in a 35-10 victory over North Texas on Saturday that showed there’s life for the Tigers without ACC player of the year C.J. Spiller. Ellington ended with 122 yards and Harper 102, the first time Clemson’s had two rushers top the century mark since its “Thunder and Lightning� combo of James Davis and Spiller accomplished it against Maryland in 2007.

BOSTON COLLEGE 38, WEBER STATE 20 BOSTON – Dave Shinskie rebounded from an interception on the first play of the season by throwing touchdowns on consecutive first-quarter drives and Boston College – bolstered by the return of cancer-survivor Mark Herzlich – rolled past Weber State 3820 on Saturday in the schools’ season opener.

Defense carries Gators in opener THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jeff Demps had a long scoring run, John Brantley added a fluky touchdown pass late and No. 4 Florida overcame an error-filled game to beat Miami (Ohio) 34-12 Saturday. The Gators (1-0) used four interceptions, several red-zone stops and two late touchdowns to avoid a meltdown. The bigger story was Florida’s anemic offense – the one quarterback John Brantley had hoped to “keep rolling� after waiting three years behind Tim Tebow. There were fumbles, bad snaps, poor throws, several penalties and possibly more frustration in The Swamp than ever before. Brantley completed 17 of 25 passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns. He had a 10-yarder to Omarius Hines that was the offense’s longest play of the day until Demps’ got loose for a 72yard run in the fourth. Brantley also had a 25-yard TD pass to Chris Rainey with 1:21 remaining. That fourth-down pass bounced off a teammate.

(5) TEXAS 34, RICE 17 HOUSTON – Tre’ Newton ran for three touchdowns, while quarterback Garrett Gilbert was up and down in his first college start for Texas. Gilbert, who threw four interceptions filling in for Colt McCoy in the loss to Alabama in the BCS title game,

didn’t turn the ball over in this one.

(9) IOWA 37, EASTERN ILLINOIS 7 IOWA CITY, Iowa – Adam Robinson ran for 109 yards and three touchdowns in the first half for Iowa. Senior Ricky Stanzi threw for 229 yards and a touchdown for the Hawkeyes (1-0), who won their 10th straight season opener under coach Kirk Ferentz. Iowa has its highest preseason ranking in 22 years, and the Hawkeyes made quick work of the Panthers.

(11) OREGON 72, NEW MEXICO 0 EUGENE, Ore. – Kenjon Barner replaced suspended running back LaMichael James for Oregon and ran for a career-high 147 yards and four touchdowns before catching another score.

(19) PENN ST. 44, YOUNGSTOWN ST. 14 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – Freshman Rob Bolden threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns and Chaz Powell had a 100-yard kickoff return for a score for Penn State.

(23) GEORGIA 55, LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE 7 ATHENS, Ga. – Aaron Murray passed for three touchdowns and ran for another to lead Georgia.

(25) W. VA. 31, COASTAL CAROLINA 0 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Geno Smith threw two touchdown passes and Noel Devine rushed for 111 yards and a score for West Virginia.

MCMURRAY HOLDS OFF BUSCH TO WIN NATIONWIDE RACE

---

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) – Jamie McMurray’s first win of the season is making Kyle Busch wait for another try at Nationwide Series history. McMurray held off Busch to win the Great Clips 300 Nationwide Series race Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Busch, trying to become the first driver in the 28-year history of the Nationwide Series to win 11 races in a season, fell short in his late efforts to catch McMurray. Busch led the most laps in the race but finished second, ahead of Carl Edwards and less than a second behind McMurray.

Plenty of familiarity for McNeill at ECU GREENVILLE (AP) — While Ruffin McNeill is looking forward to making his coaching debut at East Carolina, his title is just about the only thing new for the first-year Pirates coach. The surroundings certainly won’t be; he is back in at his alma mater, in his home state coaching in the same stadium where he played. Even today’s opponent in the Conference USA opener is a familiar face – Tulsa’s Todd Graham. The two met years ago during McNeill’s 10-year stint as assistant on Mike Leach’s staff at Texas Tech. A few years ago McNeill was recruiting a punter from Allen High School in suburban Dallas. That high school’s coach at the time: Graham, who coached preps before he joined West Virginia’s staff in 2001. And while McNeill ultimately didn’t lure many of Graham’s high school players to Lubbock — “They had a little tie-in with some other schools,” McNeill said with a laugh — the added recruiting responsibilities Leach gave him over the years provided a valuable taste of what it’s like to be a head coach. Hired in January after Skip Holtz left for South Florida, the East Carolina defensive back from the 1970s isn’t worried about any nervousness that might arise in the moments before kickoff because “I’ve been in just about all situations you can be in as a football coach.” East Carolina has beaten Tulsa twice in the past two years, including a win in the 2008 C-USA championship game, the first of the Pirates’ two straight league titles under Holtz.

Army’s Anderson next AD at Maryland

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — The University of Maryland’s hired its new athletic director Saturday: Kevin1 Anderson, who performed the same job for 5 ⁄2 years at Army. Anderson will be in charge of Maryland’s 27 athletic teams. He takes over for Debbie Yow, who left Maryland for N.C. State in July. At Army, Anderson was responsible for a 25-sport program that served more than 900 cadet-athletes. He was chosen by a Maryland search committee that included acting president Nariman Farvardin and president-designate Dr. Wallace Loh. Anderson graduated from San Francisco State University in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He became the first African-American athletic director at Army upon his introduction in December 2004. He will be introduced at the school in a news conference Tuesday.

Devils get Kovalchuk

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The New Jersey Devils did more than sign Ilya Kovalchuk to a $100 million contract. A byproduct of the revised 15-year deal was that the Devils helped the NHL and its players union reach an agreement on longterm contracts that will define how much money will count toward salary caps. “That is exactly what just transpired with the amendment,” Devils president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said Saturday. “I think there should be lines where everybody knows exactly what they are. Uncertainties create confusion.” Lamoriello said the Devils acted in good faith and abided by the collective bargaining agreement in signing the 27-year-old Kovalchuk to a 17-year, $102 million deal in July. However, the NHL vetoed the original contract a day later because it circumvented the salary cap. The NHL Players Association appealed and an arbiter upheld the league’s ruling. That sent Kovalchuk and the Devils back to the bargaining table. A little more than month later, New Jersey sent a revised 15year, $100 million deal to the league for approval. “We would not have submitted if we felt it would have been rejected,” Lamoriello said. It wasn’t rejected because the league and union hammered out a deal to set boundaries on long-term contracts. The agreement grandfathered Kovalchuk’s contract. The NHL agreed to end its investigations into contracts signed in 2009 by Marian Hossa of the Blackhawks, Roberto Luongo of the Canucks, Marc Savard of the Bruins and Chris Pronger of the Flyers. Under the old system, long-term contracts were averaged annually to determine the cap hit. The new agreement with the league and the union defines long-term contracts as those five years or longer, starting with those signed on Saturday and after. The approval of the contract means that Lamoriello has work to do to get the Devils under the $59.4 million salary cap before the seasons starts in October. The Devils are roughly $3 million over the cap with only 21 players under contract, meaning they have two open spots on the roster.

Panthers cut Tyler, Moore, Cantwell CHARLOTTE (AP) – The Carolina Panthers have cut defensive tackle Tank Tyler, former Wake Forest receiver Kenny Moore and quarterback Hunter Cantwell in a series of moves to get to 53 players for the regular season. Receiver Trent Guy and seventh-round pick R.J. Stanford were also let go on Saturday. The Panthers placed guard Duke Robinson, special-teamer Aaron Francisco

and offensive linemen C.J. Davis on injured reserve. Tyler was perhaps the biggest surprise. Acquired last year from Kansas City for a fifth-round pick, Tyler came into training camp expected to be a starter after Carolina’s offseason overhaul of the defensive line. But he was outplayed by Derek Landri and others in the preseason. Cantwell was let go after Carolina decided on Tony Pike as their No. 3 quarterback.

Bradford gets starting nod with Rams THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

On a day 2008 Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford found out he’ll be the starting quarterback for the St. Louis Rams, Heisman winners Matt Leinart and Troy Smith found themselves looking for new teams. It was cut down Saturday in the NFL, with teams required to trim their rosters to 53 players. Leinart, the 2004 Heisman winner from USC, was released by the Arizona Cardinals, who will open the season on Sept. 12 with Derek Anderson at quarterback against Bradford and the Rams. Smith, the 2006 Heisman winner

from Ohio State, was cut by the Baltimore Ravens after playing in 14 games over three seasons. The Ravens will open the season with two quarterbacks, starter Joe Flacco and Marc Bulger. Leinart was among the biggest names to be let go. He came into the preseason expecting to take over for the retired Kurt Warner. Unless the Cardinals sign another quarterback, rookies John Skelton and Max Hall will be Anderson’s backups. In other moves: •Safety Ed Reed will miss the first six weeks of the season after being placed on the reserve physically unable to perform list by Baltimore. Smith was one of 15 players released.

Also, Billy Cundiff won the kicker’s job over Shayne Graham. Reed underwent offseason hip surgery and did not practice during training camp or play in the preseason. •As expected, cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones made the Bengals’ roster as a third cornerback and punt returner. Also, Mike Nugent won the kicking job over Dave Rayner. •The Broncos acquired tight end Dan Gronkowski from the Lions for cornerback Alphonso Smith in a swap of second-year players. Denver also placed NFL sack leader Elvis Dumervil (chest muscle) and wide receiver Brandon Stokley (groin) on injured reserve, officially ending their seasons.

Hamlin wins pole for Atlanta Cup race HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) – Denny Hamlin started chasing the championship during qualifying Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Mired in a bit of a midseason slump, Hamlin showed signs of turning things around by claiming the pole for tonight’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race with a speed of 187.380 mph. He edged traditionally strong qualifier Ryan Newman, who’ll start from the outside of the

front row after a lap of 187.070. The rest of the top five for the Emory Healthcare 500 was Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart. He claimed the eighth pole of his career and the 50th for Joe Gibbs Racing, which won its first pole with Bobby Labonte at Martinsville in 1995. Hamlin has five wins this season, but it’s been nearly three months since his last victory. He’s coming

off a 34th-place finish at Bristol and is fifth in the point standings. While that’s still safely within the 12-driver Chase for the Championship, which will be set at Richmond next week, Hamlin wants to recapture the dominance he showed over a 10-race stretch that included five wins and two other top-five finishes. Failing to make the 43-car field were Jason Leffler, Landon Cassill, Scott Riggs and Todd Bodine.

Snedeker, Day show way in Deutsche NORTON, Mass. (AP) – Jason Day and Brandt Snedeker played in far different conditions Saturday and wound up with a share of the lead halfway through the Deutsche Bank Championship. Snedeker went from the rain showers of Hurricane Earl to breezy conditions Saturday morning in his second round and had a 7-under 64. The wind got stronger throughout the afternoon for Day, who did well to shoot 67 and join Snedeker atop the leaderboard. For all the fretting over weather giving half the field a good break, it

turned out to be a push. Of the top 18 on the leaderboard, it was evenly split with players who had to cope with rain and who got the worst of the wind. Tiger Woods turned his game around at the right time. In jeopardy of missing the cut and missing out on the rest of the FedEx Cup playoffs, Woods didn’t hit a bad shot through six holes and played bogey-free for the first time in more than a year for a 6-under 65 that left him in the middle of the pack. Woods, who started in a tie for 87th, moved up to a tie for 29th and was

seven shots behind with 36 holes to play. Day, in the 36-hole lead for the second straight week in these playoffs, and Snedeker were at 12-under 130. They were one shot ahead of FedEx Cup leader Matt Kuchar (65) and Charley Hoffman (67), with Luke Donald (67) another shot behind. Defending champion Steve Stricker (68) made it through another round without a bogey and was at 9-under 133, while Phil Mickelson (65) started hitting fairways and making putts and was in the group at 8 under.

The face of the hunting rifle changes bolt actions. Most varmint rifles in those days had a heavier than normal barrel, SPORTS a 10-x or higher Dick magniJones fication ■■■ scope and a worked-over trigger. Lots of time was spent carefully developing a load that would shoot well. It was science, the art of making a rifle shoot targets in tight patterns, and I was all ears. Now, rifles that will shoot a pattern that can be covered with a quarter are a dime a dozen. Barrels are better, bedding is better, and bullets are better. The world is bound to change, the first now will late be last, it’s just the way it is. When I went to my first high-power rifle match, I was shocked to find that most of the riflemen were shooting semi-automatic rifles. Sure, there were bolt actions, but at least 80 per

cent of the contestants were using Garands and M14s. When I saw how accurate these specially tuned semi-autos were, I was even more amazed. A good M14 would put 10 shots in a two-inch group at 200 yards. I soon grew to love and appreciate the M14 rifle. At the time, the M16 was seen as a Mattel rifle. They were called mouse guns, rat guns, and BB guns. Anyone who tried to shoot one across the course that constitutes a high-power rifle match was considered sort of a geek. The rat gun shooters met with little success. The world was bound to change, though and it has. Modern M16/AR15 platform guns now rule the roost. They dominate the national matches and they’re showing up in growing numbers in the hunting fields. The reason for this is simple; they work. They’re also the most versatile rifle in the history of the world. The standard AR 15 receiver can handle multiple upper units that can be

changed in the field in less than a minute. In addition to a variety of .223 uppers in standard, carbine, match rifle, and varmint configurations, you can buy hunting uppers in .30 Remington (a round that falls about halfway between a 30.06 and a 30.30) a .204 Ruger varmint upper, a .22 long rifle upper, and a crossbow upper that will put five arrows in a two-inch circle at 40 yards. I haven’t even touched the surface, there’s even a 9MM upper that fires the inexpensive pistol caliber and a .410 shotgun upper. Believe it or not, you can get a .50 BMG bolt-action upper that fires a 750-grain bullet at about 3,000 feet per second. This week, I tested a Bushmaster Varminter. The rifle that I tested weighs 9 pounds and will put five shots in less than an inch every time. It’s unmodified and the barrel is hardly barely broken in. The trigger is a good two-stage trigger that breaks the same every time. Since it’s a two-stage trigger, it feels

much lighter than its real 4.5-pound weight. I shot the groups with factory ammunition, with no experimentation to find out what shoots best, shooting the ammunition I had on hand. I’m told that these guns are very forgiving of different loads within the constraints of the rifling twist. It’s true that these guns are very unconventional looking even though we’ve had 40 years to get used to them. They look normal in a soldier’s hands but we just can’t imagine them in the hunting field. When I first saw them on the rifle range where M14s and bolt action match rifles dominated, they looked out of place. But, now they look perfectly normal. They’ll eventually be accepted as hunting rifles on their own merits, but it’s just going to take most of us awhile to do it. I love the traditional look of the guns with which I grew up. I think the nicest looking shotguns are doublebarrels. To me, there’s

Gone with the wind: Sharapova routs Capra at U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) – American upstart Beatrice Capra got blown away Saturday – by the excellence of Maria Sharapova and the bad, blustery conditions caused by the remnants of Hurricane Earl. Treating the wind and an opponent with nothing to lose as mere annoyances, Sharapova put a 60, 6-0 thumping on Capra at the U.S. Open, ending the 18-year-old’s attempt to fashion a 2010 version of the Melanie Oudin

story. Last year in the third round, 17-year-old Oudin went into Arthur Ashe Stadium and beat Sharapova – a remarkable moment on the way to the young American’s trip to the quarterfinals. No. 2 Roger Federer overcame three break points in the final game to close out a 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Paul-Henri Mathieu. In other men’s action, No. 5 Robin Soderling rolled to a 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Thiemo de

Bakker. No. 17 Gael Monfils defeated Janko Tipsarevic, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-4. And Richard Gasquet backed up his win over No. 6 Nikolay Davydenko with a straight-set victory over Kevin Anderson. No. 21 Albert Montanes of Spain advanced when Kei Nishikori of Japan retired in the second set. Nishikori won a five-set, five-hour match over No. 11 Marin Cilic on Thursday but withdrew from Saturday’s match with a groin injury.

came of age as a shooter during the 1960s. During that time, groundhog and crow hunting were popular pastimes for men who liked accurate rifles. Behind the gun counter at Gibson’s Discount Variety Store, I saw myself as an up-and-coming gun salesman. I idolized the guys who were already deeply involved with a passion for accurate rifles. There was an old gentleman named Mr. Bray who was a serious follower of the accurate rifle. He shot a .220 Swift, if I remember correctly, and he would go to “Spartie” up in the mountains to shoot groundhogs. Bob Harville and Jimmy Saintsing were also riflemen and would often come into the store with some remarkable group that had been shooting their rifles. The rifles used were Model 70 Winchesters and Model 700 Remingtons. Jimmy even had a Mossberg 800 that would shoot a ragged hole at 100 yards. All the accurate rifles in that time were

no hunting rifle more graceful than a vintage bolt-action rifle with a small scope. On the other hand, the AR platform rifles are as sexy as an Amish bathing suit. Pretty is as pretty does, though, and until you’ve spent some time pulling the trigger on these marvelous, innovative, and versatile guns, don’t count them out.

Relatively unfair? Family members who take in children want more financial assistance BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Sara Harper and her husband, Curtis, didn’t think twice about taking in three extra children when the Pennsylvania court system put them in foster care several years ago. “There was a need. They’re family. You just do it,” says Sara, 59. The children – two great-great-nieces and a great-great-nephew – eventually returned to their mother when she seemed to have gotten her life back together. That arrangement didn’t last long, however, and the Harpers – who are old enough to be grandparents – again found themselves taking in the three young children. There was a need. It was family. They just did it. “I just wanted to get them out of harm’s way as quick as possible,” Harper says. “They were my babies, as far as I was concerned.” The children – 10-year-old Pierre, 8-yearold Dynaya and 7-year-old Kylaya – still live with the Harpers, who now live in High Point, along with the couple’s two adopted children, 12-year-old Shawne and 10-yearold Shawnetta. Now, though, the Harpers have encountered another need. Because the Harpers this time took the children in before social services had intervened, they’re not eligible for foster care subsidization. They then discovered – to their amazement – that North Carolina is one of about 17 states that do not subsidize kinship care, which refers to caregiving provided by family members other than the child’s parents. “I did find out that I could go to DSS (the Department of Social Services) and get Work First, but the most I could get – for three children – is $272 a month,” Harper says. “That was like a slap in the face.”

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

The children in the Harper household can accumulate “hearts” for performing their chores, redeemable for allowance. Some do better than others. Harper was so disheartened to learn about the subsidization issue for kinship care that she founded the Kinship Care Coalition and Advocacy Group of North Carolina, an organization she hopes will be able to positively impact state laws regarding kinship caregivers and the children in their care. “Everything I’ve read is that children do better when they stay in the family than when they’re put in homes of non-kin, and yet we can’t get help,” Harper says. “I support foster care and applaud those who do it – I’ve done it – but how fair is it to place children with relatives and not help them financially? They’re like the children who’ve fallen between the cracks. We don’t get a stipend, other than that $272

a month, which is nothing. It’s not fair to not help families take care of these children.” The problem is not an isolated one. According to Harper, more than 85,000 grandparents in North Carolina are raising grandchildren, and an additional 37,000 children are being raised by other relatives (as in the Harpers’ case). That’s what spurred Harper to found her organization – the knowledge that there are many more families out there who could use some financial assistance. On Sept. 28, the Kinship Care Coalition and Advocacy Group of North Carolina, in cooperation with Grandparents Raising

Visitors to western North Carolina’s mountains can look forward to a vibrant display of color this autumn, predicts Kathy Mathews, Western Carolina University’s fearless fall foliage forecaster. According to Mathews, WCU associate professor of biology, weather conditions during the spring and summer point to an above-average fall color show. “It’s been a hot year in North Carolina, with above-average temperatures this summer. Rainfall has been slightly less than average during the spring and summer. These are two factors I look at when thinking about the timing and quality of fall leaf color change in the mountains,” Mathews said. “While your garden may not have fared so well because of the soaring temperatures in June and July, the wellestablished trees and shrubs of our forests do not appear to have been adversely affected.” The color change should begin at the higher mountain elevations in late September and continue through mid-November in the lower levels of western North Carolina. “Look for the earliest color change to take place on the sourwoods and dogwoods, which both turn red, as well as the tulip poplars, which become yellow but tend to turn brown early,” Mathews said. “Colorful maples, with hues of red, orange and yellow, and birches, which turn yellow, bring us into the peak period. Finally, oaks turn orange and red to round out the later color change in the season.”

Italian food and wine destination opens in NYC NEW YORK (AP) – It’s as if Little Italy is all grown up. A sprawling complex dedicated to Italian food and wine opened Tuesday in Manhattan, offering seven boutique restaurants, a wine shop, bakery and patisserie, plus a supermarketsized marketplace. Several Italian mayors and New York City officials gathered near hanging sausages and sleeves of garlic to cut a ribbon made of fresh lasagna pasta, marking the opening of the nearly 50,000-square-foot Eataly. Founders claim it’s the largest site in the world dedicated to high-quality Italian food – fresh ingredients and minimally processed foods are emphasized, and nothing is frozen except the gelato. “Everything that’s fresh is local – fish, beef, milk, vegetables – and then the best of Italian ingredients, reggiano parmigiano, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, are imports,� said Joe Bastianich, one of the founders. “So it’s not didactically everything

from Italy, it’s the spirit of eating in a true Italian way.� There’s also a rooftop beer garden and a culinary school for those who are desperate to learn how to perfect their own pasta dough or make fresh mozzarella at home.

ear Abby: My fiance and I are preparing for our wedding next spring. This is the first marriage for both of us. We are well-established in our careers and have a nice house with everything we need in it. Abby, my fiance and I lost our fathers to cancer within the last few years. One of our biggest regrets is that we never got to meet each other’s father, and they won’t be at our wedding with everyone else we love. Is there a polite way to ask our guests to donate to the American Cancer Society, their local hospice or a charity of their choice, instead of buying us things we don’t need? It would mean far more to us knowing that some other dad who might have been lost to cancer will be able to walk his daughter down the aisle on her special day. – Spring 2011 Bride Dear Spring 2011 Bride: While I commend you for wanting to help others whose lives have been touched by cancer, what you have in mind must be done “delicately� so no rules of etiquette are broken. No mention of gifts (or money) should be made on (or accompany) your wedding invitations. However, it is customary for

ADVICE Dear Abby â– â– â–

those who plan to attend to inquire about where the couple is registered or what they might need. At that point, it’s permissible to say (verbally) that a donation to the American Cancer Society or to hospice, etc., would be appreciated for the reasons you stated

in your letter. And one more thought: Although your fathers-in-law died before you could meet them, please don’t think they won’t be at your celebration. Because they are in your hearts, they will not only be present at your wedding, they’ll be with you always. Dear Abby: About a year ago I was in the process of separating from my husband. I started looking for a place of my own, but after I found one, my husband said he wanted to “work things out.� While we were separated we slept in different rooms. During this time I met another man, “Craig.� He knew I was married and I told him about the situation with my husband. Craig and

I have not been intimate or even kissed. We have carried on inappropriate conversations via phone, e-mail and texting, and we have sent each other pictures through e- mail. My husband and I have now reconciled, but I have been stringing Craig along on the chance that, if my marriage doesn’t work out, he’ll be there. I feel guilty about this. Is what Craig and I have done considered a form of cheating? What should I do? – Hedging My Bets in California Dear Hedging: Of course it’s a form of cheating! You know that on some level or you wouldn’t be feeling guilty. If you really want your marriage to work, you’ll stop hedging your bets and devote yourself fully to it. You’ll also level with Craig, tell him you and your husband have reconciled, ask him not to call you again and delete his texts and e-mails. If you don’t, your husband could find them and your marriage WILL be over. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Incapable relative needs assistance

Q

My mother has dementia and is not able to manage her own Social Security checks. Is there anything that I will need to do? I already have Power of Attorney.

A. U.S. Treasury Department regulations do not permit a general Power of Attorney to be used to negotiate Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks. We recommend that you call our toll-free number, (800) 772-1213, as soon as possible and request an appointment with your local Social Security office to discuss your concerns. If we decide that your mother is incapable of managing or directing the management of her Social Security benefits, we will select someone to serve as her representative payee. A representative payee is the person, agency, organization, or institution selected to receive and manage benefits on behalf of an incapable beneficiary. Whenever possible, the preferred payee is a family member or friend who has shown interest in the well-being of the beneficiary. When a representa-

tive payee is appointed, the Social Security field office provides the payee with complete information about the use of benefits; i.e., proper disbursement and how benefits should be conserved or invested. We ensure that the payee understands the fiduciary nature of the relationship, that benefits belong to the beneficiary and are not the property of the payee. The payee is informed about the penalties for using the benefits other than for the benefit of the beneficiary and that an annual accounting is required. For more information, you may call our tollfree number and ask for our publication called A Guide For Representative Payees (Publication No. 05-10076). Our representatives there will be glad to help you. This publication is also available on the Internet at www.socialsecurity. gov/pubs/10076.html. Q. I applied for my child’s social security card in the hospital but have not received it. How long must I wait?

A. If you have not received your child’s social security card in about 12 weeks, please visit your local social security office. We will need a completed Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5) and documents proving your child’s U.S. citizenship, age, and identity. We will also need to see a document proving your identity. All documents must be either originals of copies certified by the issuing agency. We cannot accept

Coxsackie virus Dog not properly socialized can attack is afraid of everyone person’s heart D D

Your friend had myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart. Viruses are one cause of it. The virus most often involved is the Coxsackie virus, named after the New York town where it was first identified. Myocarditis can be so mild that it produces no symptoms. Or it can be so overwhelming that it is fatal. It occurs at any age. Often, a respiratory infection – even a common cold – or a gastrointestinal disorder – “stomach flu� – might precede it. A young person – such as your friend – struggling to breathe puts the doctor on alert to suspect that a failing heart is responsible and that a viral infection of the heart could be the cause. Coxsackie viruses are transmitted from one person to the next through respiratory droplets or from foods, hands or utensils contaminated with the virus. We have no medicine that kills this virus. Most of the time, none is needed, since nearly all Coxsackie infections are minor troubles. In cases like your friend’s, medicines to keep the heart beating forcefully usually can tide a person over the dangerous period of heart failure. Your friend’s story is tragic. Dear Dr. Donohue: How does someone with AIDS die? How long does one live after being diagnosed with AIDS? Can a person with AIDS cook for his or her family without fear of giving the virus to loved ones? – D.R. AIDS kills in a num-

Governor cancels Michigan State Fair DETROIT (AP) – Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm canceled this year’s Michigan State Fair, saying debt-ridden Michigan could no longer afford to subsidize it. Granholm’s decision makes Michigan one of few state’s without a state fair. The Michigan State Fair had been a state tradition for 160 years. But the fair had been running deficits and needed $360,000 from the state in 2008 to cover losses. Fewer than 220,000 people passed through last year. At its peak in 1966, the fair drew 1 million.

AIDS also can interfere with the production of proteins and other body materials needed for life, and the person wastes away. The incredible progress made in the treatment of AIDS allows most infected people to live 30 to 40 years after the diagnosis is made, very close to a normal life span. This is possible in countries where people have ready access to the many AIDS medicines. People with AIDS can cook for their family without any fear of transmitting the virus.

Dear A. & E.S.: Dogs like yours who may have been abused or not properly socialized with people as a puppy can be difficult cases when it comes to overcoming fear and strangers. Teach her with praise and food rewards to sit and stay while on the leash at your side in the living room. When visitors come, they should understand what you are doing and be quiet when entering. Keep your dog leashed at your side while you engage in normal conversation. Have the guests ignore the dog because even looking at her could be perceived as threatening. Invite a couple of friends over to help desensitize your dog by coming in, sitting down and chatting, then leaving and coming back several times; repeat over several days. You should not allow your dog to run away and hide, which indirectly rewards/reinforces her

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am concerned about my brother, who is 63, diabetic, weighs 300 pounds and is 5 feet 8 inches tall.

What does that mean? – Anon.

avoidance behavior. Give praise and treats when she settles down with guests in the same room.

Dear Dr. Fox: My golden Lab eats the lumps in the kitty liter, and I am worried Dr. Michael it will harm her. Fox It’s not a case of ■■■her being hungry; she is well-fed twice a day. Each time she gets half a can of meat chunks, about 2 cups of dry food, half a can of vegetables (carrots or green beans) and sometimes table scraps. She is 13 years old, but shows no signs of age! I read that there are studies of Rottweilers who live to be 13 and are immune to cancer. My Lab seems to be in this category. She is obedient, a good watchdog and my dear companion. She tolerates the cat indoors, but I’m afraid to let them both out in the yard at the same time, as the dog chases any creature that moves. She killed a squirrel recently. Any advice? – D.F., Silver Spring, Md.

Grandchildren of Guilford County, will host the Kinship Care Summit, a program aimed at addressing issues of importance to grandparents and other nonparental relatives who are raising children. The featured speakers at the summit will be: • Rob Thompson, executive director of The Covenant With North Carolina’s Children, a coalition of more than 60 service providers, civic associations and advocacy organizations who have formed a covenant by promising to advance public policy that benefits children and families in North Carolina. • Michael Ward of Durham County, who will discuss how that county implemented the state’s

Your brother might have sleep apnea. His body size suggests that it could be the reason for his daytime sleepiness. Spurting blood indicates that an artery was broken. No one should pick at scabs, especially a diabetic. Your brother needs medical attention. He has to lose weight both for control of diabetes and for control of sleep apnea, if that is what he has. He is at great risk of incurring the complications of diabetes – heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure – if he doesn’t start paying attention to his health.

only subsidized program for kinship care. Harper hopes the summit will be the beginning of a grassroots movement that ultimately will change the laws regarding funding for kinship caregivers. “Grandparents and other adults who step forward to raise children are keeping families together and providing an economic service to our country,� she says. “We are being discriminated against when we do not have access to funds that have been appropriated for them because of agency guidelines. Our tax dollars will go to strangers who take in our children, but not to relatives.� jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

a daily (human) multimineral/ multivitamin tablet or capsule that’s broken up and mixed with her regular food may be what she needs. Some dogs eat cat feces they find in the litter box because they are motivated to clean up the mess, as they would with their own pups. Eating the litter itself could mean there is some abdominal discomfort, which may need to be checked, especially if other symptoms develop. Set up a low gate so the cat can jump over and use the box, but the dog cannot. More than one dog has developed acute intestinal blockage after consuming cat litter. Clay-based and especially mineral-based cat litter can also harm cats. Try changing the litter to no-clay, like the cornbased World’s Best Cat Litter or Purina’s Yesterday’s News Paper-Based Cat Litter made from recycled newspaper (primarily harmless cellulose). Avoid all scented cat litters for cat’s sake. Clap your hands or blow a whistle to scare squirrels out of the yard before your dog goes out.

Later he had trouble breathing and went to the emergency room, where they said he was having a heart attack. Several hours later, he passed away.

Germany is perfect for au pair reunion BY DOROTHY ABERNATHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

C

OLOGNE, Germany – There’s nothing like having someone live with you for a year to forge a lifelong friendship. But you can’t just drop by for coffee when that person lives across the Atlantic Ocean. My husband and I hosted German au pairs for seven years to care for our three children. And from the moment we quit hiring au pairs, Duncan and I began plotting to get our kids overseas to see them and learn more about the culture. We managed to do that this summer, nine years after no longer needing au pairs. My oldest daughter, Maureen, will soon turn 20. My son, Glenn, is 16 and now towers over my daughters and me. My youngest daughter, Ellen, is 14 and a much different child from the 5-year-old who, along with Glenn, used to understand German. We have remained close to our au pairs. Most have visited us at our home in Richmond, Va., more than once since living with us. We flew into Frankfurt and boarded a train for Cologne with great views of castles and the Rhine River. We checked into a hotel that Duncan found in a travel book – Hopper’s St. Antonius. It’s an easy walk from Cologne’s historic cathedral. This was my favorite hotel of the trip, even though it didn’t have air-conditioning. Hopper’s has a lovely open courtyard with ivycovered walls. Breakfast was fantastic and included a big selection of breads, yogurt with muesli, fresh fruits, meats, cheeses and smoked salmon. Our first evening we walked to the cathedral. Some find the gothic

structure beautiful; everyone finds it massive and impressive. The exterior is largely blackened from the elements. But portions, replaced during continuous restoration, are much lighter. The area bustles with locals and tourists. We planned to dine at the Frueh brew house, known for traditional German cuisine and beer. But Frueh’s outdoor seating was full. Indoors, it was hot, and nobody seemed to want to wait on us. So instead we chose Cafe Reichard, with available outdoor seating next to the cathedral. My son raved about his crepes with apples. My daughters were amazed by the restroom stalls, which had transparent glass doors that became opaque when you locked them. The next morning, we toured the Chocolate Museum, on the Rhine River. Our kids liked the free samples better than the history lesson. Helene, au pair No. 7, met us at noon. She’s probably the au pair that the kids remember best because she was our last. We exchanged hugs and talked about how much the kids had changed. We had seen Helene twice since she finished her year with us, but not in a few years. Still, we were able to talk to Helene as if we’d parted yesterday. She walked

us back to the cathedral area, where we met au pair No. 1, Tine, and ate pizza outdoors. Tine has been back to Richmond several times and is now married with an 8-year-old daughter. She and Helene are friends. All seven of our au pairs are acquainted and gather for “meetings” occasionally. Tine and Helene reminisced with the kids about their antics in years gone by. Tine, her husband and daughter joined us the next day at an amusement park called Phantasialand just outside Cologne. This was one of the best days in Europe for my son. Phantasialand was like Busch Gardens or a small Disney World – clean with similar rides, food and shows. We traveled for 10 days in Italy, then met up with our fifth au pair, Beate, and her boyfriend, Tobias, in Salzburg, Austria. Since her year with us in Richmond, Bea has studied in Oregon, Germany and Japan. Her last trip to Richmond was about eight years ago. My youngest daughter, Ellen, didn’t have clear memories of Bea, but they hit it off immediately. There was much talk about tricks the kids played on Bea, and of course how they had grown.

We stayed at a Radisson Hotel a 15-minute walk from Old Town Salzburg. We went to Old Town early the next morning, walking through a garden where parts of the “Sound of Music” were filmed. We had a great breakfast of German breads, meat and cheese at Cafe Bazar. When we finished, it was raining. We shared four umbrellas and darted from shop to shop to stay dry – a bookstore, a gallery showing Picasso and Salvador Dali prints, a candy store – before warming up in a coffee shop. As we sipped hot drinks, Tobias passed around “Mozart Chocolates” which he had bought in the candy store. The rain stopped

Phantasialand in Cologne, Germany, was like Busch Gardens or a small Disney World – clean with similar rides, food and shows. around noon as we continued our tour of the narrow, cobblestone streets lined with shops and cafes. We climbed stairs up a steep hill for better view of the city. We had a delightful early dinner at a restaurant called Triangel. I had a soup with sliced pancakes in it. The next morning we boarded a train to Mainz and Wiesbaden, Germany, to see our second and fourth au pairs, Martina and Tina. We stayed at a Hilton in Mainz, across the Rhine River from Wiesbaden, Tina’s home. Some of our au pairs told us there wouldn’t

be much to do in Mainz. We chose it because it was close to Wiesbaden and had a hotel where we could use points. But we were curious to see a city that was less touristy. Duncan, Ellen and I walked about five minutes into the old town area at 8 a.m. the next day. It was charming in much the same way Salzburg was, but not as busy. We found a good bakery called Werner’s Backstube for breakfast. We discovered a large outdoor market with fruits, vegetables and meats. Our bus ride to Weisbaden took 25 minutes. Tina met us at the bus stop, looking just the same as the last time we saw her. She lives with her husband, Andy, in an apartment near the Rhine River. Martina arrived a few hours later from Heidelberg. Tina and Martina are friends; Tina was in Martina’s wedding the summer before. So they were happy to see one another as well as us. Both have been to Richmond a good bit since their au pair days. Martina lived with us again during internships at the Virginia Film Office and a Richmond TV station. Tina returned after her au pair year for a six-month internship with a Richmond company. So it was like old home week to see them. We saw the city building and grounds where Tina got married (near the Rhine River) and a casino downtown. We also saw a hot water spring, and I drank some of the water, which tasted salty. But my kids wanted to shop. Maureen and Ellen wanted English language novels, and all the kids wanted German chocolate to take to the states. We found all the shops we could have wanted downtown. I was struck by how different Wiesbaden looked from the other

cities we visited. The streets were wide and weren’t made of cobblestones. Wiesbaden has some large green vistas. On one side of the city building where Tina got married, there was grass as far as we could see. Later in the day we were joined by Martina’s husband, Roland, whom we met a few years earlier. And Tina’s husband, Andy, joined us after work. We had a homecooked meal at Tina’s home – a nice change after weeks of eating in restaurants. We spent our final day at a park called Schloss Freudenberg that’s a cross between a children’s museum, a science museum and a park. The kids thought it would be too young for them. But we all had a great time walking on stilts, experiencing what it’s like to be blind and feeling vibrations while sitting in a metal pot being rubbed with a mallet. When it was time to leave Tina and Martina, we already were longing to return to Germany. I found it interesting that they enjoyed Germany and Austria much more than Italy. I think that’s likely because we spent our time in Austria and Germany with the au pairs, who have all become good friends.

Slattery

James Dobson has retired from writing the Focus on the Family column. Beginning this week, the column will be written by Jim Daly and Juli Slattery. Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two. Juli Slattery is a licensed psychologist, co-host of Focus on the Family, author of several books, and a wife and mother of three. Readers may submit questions to FocusOnTheFamily.com.

Q

uestion: I’m struggling with how to keep my kids motivated throughout the school year. In past years, I’ve felt like the cheerleader, constantly encouraging them to take school seriously. How can I make this year different? Juli: Truth be told, many parents are dreading the beginning of a new school year even more than their children for just the reason you mentioned. It takes a lot of energy to motivate kids to stay on top of their work.

One key to starting out the year on a positive note is to begin with realistic and objective goals as a source of motivation. Whereas the right kind of goals can be encouraging, the wrong goals can add to feelings of apathy and failure. First of all, make sure the goals you help your kids set are realistic. For example, most children are not capable of getting all A’s and stop trying when they receive their first subpar grade. So, instead, how about setting the goal of getting a higher math grade than you did last year or turning in your assignments on time? Secondly, your child’s goals should be objective or measurable. Having the goal of “working hard� may sound inspiring, but it will feel like nailing Jell-O to a tree unless there is an objective way of seeing progress. Finally, remember that not all school goals should be academic. Although grades are important, your child may also need to focus on goals more related to character or social skills. Whether your children are entering kindergarten or college, help them to create a goal or two and write them down. Younger children may need to have their goals mapped on a sticker chart so they can see their progress. Your job is to transfer slowly the motivation for doing well to your children. Teaching your kids to set and achieve goals

ready for school, do her homework and get to bed. It’s exhausting. She seems unconcerned and unmotivated, and would rather play than anything else. How can I help her?

is a great step in the process.

Question: I have a happy, FOCUS smart and ON THE energetic FAMILY 8-year-old daughter who is Jim Daly and struggling Juli Slattery with two ■■■problems – she’s messy and off-task most of the time. She’s a straight-A student, but I constantly have to push her to get

Jim: We’ve actually heard from other parents in your situation. Our first thought is that your daughter could use a good dose of self-discipline. This would not only help her be more efficient in completing her tasks, it would also relieve you of the burden of policing her all the time.

Corvette tour plans a lap around Kentucky

hounding her about her homework and she ends up getting a lower grade as a result of turning in an assignment late, the trauma of that experience might offer just the motivation she needs to stay on top of her schoolwork next time. Be sure to cut her some slack, too. Some kids are more messy and flighty by nature, and you don’t want to change her personality entirely. Just be sure to lavish praise and affirmation on her when things go right. A kind and affirming word from you will likely be the best reward of all.

Implementing a system of rewards and reinforcement can help your daughter learn to take responsibility and show initiative. Maybe you can tell her that if she gets herself ready for school for a straight week without having to be constantly monitored, you’ll take her out for a milkshake on the weekend. (The occasional milkshake is a great motivator for my boys – and for me, too.) She also needs to experience negative consequences. You don’t want her to flunk out of school, but if you stop

An Iraqi police officer stands at a checkpoint in Baghdad Tuesday. Iraqi forces are vastly improved and attacks have plummeted since the dark days of 2006 and 2007. But rarely a day goes by without some loss of life, and spectacular attacks such as the violence on Wednesday that killed 56 people still happen with disturbing regularity.

Post-combat questions Iraq military phase ends, but U.S. might stay past 2011 BY WARREN P. STROBEL AND SHASHANK BENGALI MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

WASHINGTON — The U.S. combat mission in Iraq officially came to an end Tuesday, 2,722 days after American-led troops stormed across the border from Kuwait. The remaining 49,000 U.S. troops are supposed to depart by the end of next year. The American mission is far from over, however, and it may have to be extended, according to former senior U.S. officials, foreign diplomats and private analysts. Iraq’s leaders, worried about the country’s stability and the designs of powerful neighbors such as Iran and Saudi Arabia, may ask for at least some American troops to remain as an insurance policy, Iraqi and U.S. observers said. “There is a reasonable probability the Iraqis, once they’ve got a new government in place, will reassess” and request a change to the 2008 status of forces agreement, said Ryan Crocker, who was the U.S. ambassador to Iraq from 2007 to 2009. “I hope we’ll be responsive,” Crocker said in an interview, arguing that there’s much left to do in Iraq. President Barack

Obama hasn’t said how he’ll treat such an Iraqi request. “We’ve made a commitment ... to have our troops out by the end of 2011, and that’s a commitment we intend to keep,” deputy press secretary Bill Burton said. If the Iraqis ask, however, “it would be damn hard to say no,” said Daniel Serwer, a vice president of the nonpartisan U.S. Institute of Peace. The uncertainty over next year’s deadline underscores Iraq’s precarious position as America’s attention shifts to this fall’s elections, domestic economic issues and the growing war in Afghanistan. Iraq is better off in many ways since 2007, when a “surge” of U.S. combat brigades, a change in military strategy and payments to Sunni Muslim tribal leaders to fight alQaida in Iraq stemmed an incipient sectarian civil war. Violence is down dramatically, raw sectarian feelings appear to have ebbed and political horsetrading is the norm. Iraq isn’t as well off as U.S. officials had hoped it would be by late August 2010, however, a deadline that Obama himself set and that isn’t stipulated in the U.S.-Iraqi forces agreement. Many things have improved, but the political system remains deadlocked. Officials had hoped that Iraq, which held elections five months ago, would form a government before the Islamic holy month of Ramadan started Aug. 11. That didn’t happen. Basic services such as electricity are spotty, and there’s no agreement on divvy-

His Stryker Brigade is the last combat unit returning from Iraq. ing up Iraq’s oil and gas riches, and no resolution of territorial disputes between Arabs and Kurds. Many of the problems stem from weaknesses in Iraq’s 2005 Constitution. It lacks deadlines for political party leaders to form a government and leaves the president and the judiciary powerless to take charge in case of a stalemate. “The constitution was written too early, by people grasping for power,” said a senior Iraqi diplomat who spoke only on the condition of anonymity, citing diplomatic proto-

col. The result is a maze of ambiguities that “would be comical if it was not causing so much pain.” Further, in a worrying sign on the security front, more Iraqi soldiers and police officers have been killed in attacks this month than at any time since September 2008, according to data from the website icasualties.org, which tracks casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. In news briefings and congressional testimony, Obama administration officials tend to cautiously accentuate the positive. Colin Kahl, a deputy

assistant secretary of defense, said the United States was wary of events that could re-spark a Sunni insurgency, such as mistreatment of the Sunni fighters who battled alQaida in Iraq or exclusion of the secular Iraqiya faction from Iraq’s next government. “The good news is, we don’t judge any of those prospects as very high,” Kahl said. “You sometimes hear American officials in kind of unguarded moments say we’re on the 5 yard line and we know it’s going to be hard to put the ball in the end zone but, by God, we just got to do it. My feeling is, no, we’re probably more like on the 40, and we might be on our 40. There’s a long way to go,” said Kenneth Pollack, the director of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution. Obama and his aides have cautioned that the Iraq mission isn’t over. “The hard truth is, we have not seen the end of American sacrifice in Iraq,” the president told a Disabled American Veterans conference on Aug. 2. More such reminders are needed, former Ambassador Crocker said. “It is important that what Americans hear (is), there is good progress ... but we have major interests, and a major commitment going forward,” he said. “Emphasizing those latter points is important.” American soldiers aside, the Obama administration is executing an ambitious transformation of the U.S. mission in Iraq away from warfare toward more mundane matters such as strengthening government institutions.

The Iraq war has colored the fabric of the Fayetteville-Fort Bragg community since before the invasion in March 2003. Fort Bragg’s forces helped topple Saddam Hussein’s regime. Tens of thousands of Fort Bragg soldiers fought in Iraq, patrolled its streets and cities and helped build a democracy there. The seven years of Iraq war have brought prosperity to businesses that cater to the Army’s needs and increased the soldiers’ pay. It often brought familybreaking stress to the soldiers’ spouses and children during long, repeated deployments. It brought a renewed appreciation among the community’s civilians for the soldiers’ sacrifices. It brought pride among soldiers who helped the Iraqis improve their lives following years of conflict. It brought the ultimate sacrifice to the families of at least 200 Fort Bragg and Pope Air Force Base troops. And some in Fayetteville think the war was fought over unclear goals or even undermined democracy in America.

High-speed rail worries nearby residents BY BRUCE SICELOFF MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

RALEIGH – Nancy Mullin fears the worst. And her fears about a plan for high-speed trains are spreading fast through her handsome, leafy neighborhood near Raleigh’s Five Points. The Five Points Citizens Advisory Council voted 81-0 last month to condemn a proposal that would route new passenger trains through the Norfolk Southern freight yard between Capital Boulevard and the Five Points area. The vote was an angry endorsement of warnings from Mullin and others that train noise and vibration would rattle their homes, erode their property values and drown out their sidewalk conversations. You can expect to hear these alarms amplified tonight, when the Raleigh City Council holds a public hearing on three alternatives for the downtown path of a proposed 162-mile track from Raleigh to Richmond. “Homeowners aren’t going to receive any compensation for reductions in our property values,” Mullin, 59, told her neighbors before Thursday’s vote. “Or for potential damage that vibration and construction or other aspects of this project might cause to our foundations, our structures, to old trees or our famous hundred-year-old terracotta sewer pipes.” The state Department of Transportation is considering options called NC1 and NC2 that would run trains through a CSX freight yard on the east side of Capital Boulevard. City transportation planners and a citizen task force have endorsed NC3, the proposal dread-

ed in Five Points, which would route the new trains along Capital’s west side. All three options would disrupt car and foot traffic between downtown Raleigh and the booming Glenwood South district. NC1/NC2 would close West and Harrington streets and make Jones Street a four-block viaduct over the tracks. NC3 would close Jones but not West and Harrington. An informal group of engineers and activists is floating a fourth alternative: sending the new trains soaring above Capital Boulevard on a five-block viaduct, lifting off from North Street near West and touching down on the CSX tracks

‘Homeowners aren’t going to receive any compensation for reductions in our property values.’ Nancy Mullin Raleigh homeowner north of Peace Street. There was barely a ripple of concern around Five Points in June when the three official options were unveiled in a 666page DOT study. But after DOT failed to provide answers for residents’ questions or to send representatives to Five Points meetings, Mullin and some neighbors started their own research. “We Googled information about the impact” of new rail lines on property values, Mullin said in an interview. “We went on websites of other places where high-speed rail has gone through.” A school consultant who moved from Bos-

ton to Raleigh a year ago, Mullin warned that street closings would leave Five Points residents “landlocked,” cut off from easy access to other parts of the city. She cited the Federal Railroad Administration for her warning that trains would be as loud as jackhammers, shaking homes as far as six blocks away. Eric Lamb, the city’s transportation services manager, was skeptical of the dire consequences Mullin and other critics laid out in neighborhood newsletters as well as on a new website, Dont Railroad Historic FivePoints.com . “I think there’s a lot of misinformation floating around,” said Lamb, who has endorsed NC3. For the past century, he said, Five Points has lived with the noise and vibration of Norfolk Southern locomotives shoving rail cars together and assembling freight trains. “It’s already adjacent to an industrial area, an existing rail line and rail yard,” Lamb said. “So it is not clear that there would be a degradation of property values compared to existing conditions today.” Mullin’s arguments drew strength from the summer-long suffering of Five Points residents during a noisy and disruptive street repair project on Glenwood Avenue. “There have been days we couldn’t figure out how to get out of our neighborhood because the streets were closed,” she said. “We are more than six blocks from Glenwood” at her house on Aycock Street, Mullin said. “And we can feel the effects of the jackhammers now. “And the trains are going to be a lot closer, and they’re going to be forever.”

Facebook tied to tragedy BY LINDELL KAY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

JACKSONVILLE – The change to a Maysville woman’s Facebook relationship status may have been what led a former flame to murder her, investigators said Monday. “She had recently changed her status to engaged,” said Onslow County Sheriff’s Maj. Donnie Worrell. He said investigators couldn’t find any motive other than the new relationship, and family did not have any other explanations. Karen Ann Rooney, 63, was shot twice in the upper torso while she lay on a lo-

veseat in her home at 1689 White Oak River Road. Her ex-boyfriend, Peter Terrance Moonan, 62, then shot himself in the head. Moonan used a .357-caliber handgun, according to the Onslow County Medical Examiner’s Office, which conducted autopsies Monday. Their bodies were discovered around 6 p.m. Saturday by Aaron Bynum, a neighbor wanting to introduce his new wife to Rooney, who he said had begun to date another man. That man, Newport resident Bill Jenkins, told The Daily News on Monday that he did not want to talk about his relationship with Rooney or her death.

Passersby help woman to safety during fire BY JENNIFER FREW MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

CONNELLY SPRINGS – A Connelly Springs woman was hospitalized following a fire on her property on Monday, but her injuries may have been much worse if two good Samaritans had not heard her cries for help. Mark and Pat Ward of Sawmills were driving

on Rhodhiss Road when something caught their eye. “We seen smoke” said Mark Ward. “We thought that maybe someone was burning trash, but then we seen flames.” Ward says they stopped to determine where the fire was located, and they heard screams. Following the voice in distress, the couple found Leola Townsend, 76, on

the ground close behind a mobile home engulfed in flames. Townsend told the Wards she could not get up and thought her hip was injured, according to Ward. The Wards carried Townsend to their car in the driveway adjacent to the fire then drove her across the road to a neighboring house where they called 911.

Mark Ward said that Townsend, who lives in the house next door to the burning trailer and owns the property, told them she was concerned about two propane tanks on the property of the mobile home when the fire erupted. Townsend was treated at the scene by Burke EMS and transported to Frye Regional Medical Center, according to Townsend’s daughter.

Budget woes sowing discord at Detroit orchestra DETROIT (AP) – Despite all of Detroit’s woes, the city has always been able to boast about one thing: its nationally recognized orchestra. But even the Detroit Symphony Orchestra is now in turmoil, with musicians and management battling over a tight budget and the union authorizing a strike to try to avoid steep pay cuts. Though the orchestra has fought hardship before, some are questioning whether it can survive at a time when the city itself is facing such economic instability. Acknowledging the hard financial times, the union had offered to take a 22 percent pay cut to $82,000 for most musicians in the first year of a three-year agreement and increasing that salary to $96,600, but management said the cuts needed to be deeper. Last weekend, the musicians voted to

reject management proposals including a 29 percent first-year pay cut and authorized a strike should contract talks fail. “Hands down, this is the most dramatic proposal for cuts than any 52-week orchestra I’ve seen. It’s not even just a benchmark in cuts being proposed by management – it’s even a benchmark in terms of the degree of cuts proposed by musicians,” said Drew McManus, a Chicago-based orchestra management consultant. The orchestra has been down this road before. The musicians endured two strikes in the 1980s – the last in 1987 while under the baton of maestro Gunther Herbig. His departure in 1988 to the Toronto Symphony was seen as a serious blow to Detroit’s cultural community. Another blow nearly came in 1970, when its original home, Orchestra Hall, was about to be de-

molished, but a musician formed “Save Orchestra Hall,” which raised funds for its renovation. The DSO returned in 1989 to the hall, which went through a massive expansion and restoration project earlier this decade and became part what’s now known as the Max M. Fisher Music Center. This time around, though, the stakes – and obstacles – are higher. The orchestra has seen its donations fall, endowment shrink and ticket sales soften as the state’s auto industry sheds jobs and plants. “This is a watershed moment in their history – no doubt about it,” McManus said. Symphony officials contend the economy is bad in the area and the organization cannot spend more money than it takes in. But musicians say the proposed cuts for new members would keep the orchestra from attracting top talent.

Nottage, Eno are 1st winners of Horton Foote Prize NEW YORK (AP) – Lynn Nottage and Will Eno are the first recipients of the Horton Foote Prize for excellence in American theater.

Nottage and Eno will be honored Sept. 20 in New York City. Each playwright will receive $15,000 and a photograph of Foote, a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and screen-

writer. He died last year at 92. Fifty-four resident U.S. theaters were invited to nominate a play. Nottage was nominated by the Manhattan Theatre Club. Nottage Eno was nominated by the Vineyard Theater. The award will be presented every two years. The prizes are funded by the Greg and Mari Marchbanks Family Foundation.

Fantasia talks about her suicide attempt MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

B

EVERLY HILLS, Calif. – August was supposed to be Fantasia Barrino’s comeback month. For three years, the “American Idol” winner and Broadway star had been working on her third album, and selecting tracks that spoke to how far she’d come in her troubled life. To outsiders, everything seemed to be on target for a successful lateAugust launch of her album, “Back to Me.” But behind the scenes, the 26year-old singer, overloaded personally and professionally, said she felt like she wanted to “sleep forever.” In a lengthy interview, Fantasia opened up about her suicide attempt earlier this month and also talked about her first halting and painful steps toward recovery. “I always covered up everything so well,” Fantasia said, sipping a glass of Malbec at a Beverly Hills hotel after taping “Lopez Tonight” last week. “I’m always the bubbly life of the party. And for so long, I pushed and pushed and pushed. And, this day, I had no push in me.” Before her overdose on Aug. 9 grabbed headlines and lighted up the blogosphere, Fantasia barricaded herself inside a guest room in her Charlotte house for three days – refusing to eat, drink or talk to anyone, even her mother, best friend and manager. The single mother couldn’t even face her 9-year-old daughter, Zion, who was being looked after by a cousin. For months, Fantasia had denied rumors she was having an affair with a married man, Antwaun Cook, a T-Mobile salesman. But soon photos of the couple surfaced on gossip pages and Cook’s wife, Paula, filed for divorce, saying her husband had made a sex tape with Fantasia. The news didn’t go over well in the culturally conservative Southern city. Strangers drove by her house at all hours. Her mother expressed her pain and disappointment. “At the time, I wasn’t thinking about anybody,” she said. “I was so numb. I was so out of it. I’ve never been to that place before. It was so scary. It was the darkest place that anybody would want to be.” It took a team of lawyers, trailed by cameras for the second season of her reality show “Fantasia for Real” – which premieres Sept. 19 – to wrest her from her hiding place. Because of the ongoing litigation, Fantasia would say little about her relationship with Cook, but she acknowledged that the two had had an on-again, off-again relationship for 11 months and that when they began dating she believed he was separated from his wife. The meeting with lawyers that morning sent Fantasia over the edge.

On the way home, she recalls telling her manager, Brian Dickens, she felt as though she were on the verge of a nervous breakdown. “And he just said what they always say, ‘You got it, Tasia. It’s gonna be all right. You’re strong. Blah blah blah,’ ” she said. “And he just couldn’t tell that this day that wasn’t going to help. I didn’t want to hear that anymore. I’d been hearing that for years and you gotta understand, I don’t have anybody to lean on. I’m the one – I’m the caretaker. I do everything.” When she got home, she went to her bedroom and sat in a chair for hours. Her best friend, mother and her stepfather tried to talk to her at various times. Fantasia asked everyone to leave. “I just wanted to go to sleep, at first,” Fantasia said. “... And after that, I was like, you know what? At this point, I don’t care if I go to sleep and never Fantasia Barrino wake up.” Singer She wrote farewell letters to her three brothers, mother, and daughter. Then she took “a lot” of sleeping pills and an entire bottle of Bayer aspirin, and sat in her closet, staring at herself in a mirror. When she awoke, Fantasia was angry to find herself alive and in the hospital. She was hooked up to an IV and discovered nurses had been assigned to watch over her around the clock. Two days later she was discharged under the condition she undergo outpatient group therapy. During the interview, Fantasia explained why she returned to work so quickly. “They wanted me to be in (group therapy) much longer, but I realized that the record company and everybody was depending on me, and I had to come back,” she said. “I had an album coming out. They started saying they were going to push it back again, but they’ve already pushed it four times. So I decided to pull myself together.” She plans to tour in November, something she’s been dreaming about for years. In the meantime, she says she will continue to work on herself in therapy.

‘I’m always the bubbly life of the party. And for so long, I pushed and pushed and pushed. And, this day, I had no push in me.’

Electronic Arts brings ‘Madden’ to Facebook NEW YORK (AP) – Electronic Arts is bringing its popular “Madden” football game to Facebook. “Madden NFL Superstars” launched as a free application last week. The game lets players create fantasy teams featuring more than 1,500 current NFL players from this year’s team

rosters. The fantasy teams compete with one another on Facebook. Or, they can play against fantasy versions of the season’s actual NFL teams. Electronic Arts Inc. plans to make money from the game by letting players pay nominal amounts of money for better players and other

game content. Those microtransactions are expected to add up, though the majority of players are expected to play the game without paying a dime. “NFL Superstars,” which comes a week before the football season kicks off, follows EA’s “FIFA Superstars” soccer game for Facebook.

Oval Office gets a more modern, comfy makeover

W

ASHINGTON (AP) – Congressional opponents, stubborn diplomats or wary heads of state, beware: The new Oval Office sofas look so comfy, you just might be lulled into a few reckless compromises. Every president eventually puts his own mark on the Oval Office, decoratively speaking, and the White House unveiled the Obama makeover on Tuesday, just hours before a major presidential speech on Iraq from his famous Resolute Desk (still there.) Design experts were weighing in immediately, of course, on the calming melange of browns and tans, with a generous helping of leather and an assortment of stripes: Was it all a little too No-Drama Obama? Or was it livelier, cooler, more chic and elegant than before? First, the changes: While the president and his family were away on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, workers installed new

striped wallpaper, new sofas, reupholstered chairs, new lamps and a coffee table – and a new rug bearing quotes around its borders from famous Americans. The updates have a more modern, easy-to-livein look – for example, the new brown leather desk chair, or the mahogany armchairs by the fireplace, now reupholstered in caramel-colored leather. Or the plush sofas, custom-made in New York and covered with a very soft-looking light brown cotton with red, white and blue threads running through it. “These sofas look like you could have a lot of long talks,” said Michael Boodro, editor in chief of Elle Decor magazine. “They’re good for diplomacy. And that coffee table – it looks sturdier. You could put your feet up. I mean, I’m not sure anyone ever gets too comfortable in the Oval Office, other than the president, but this looks like an effort to put people at ease.”

Renovations to the Oval Office, including new carpet, drapes, wallpaper and furniture are seen at the White House. The famous Resolute Desk remains.

President Obama stands with daughters Malia (right) and Sasha (left) in a ceremony in the North Portico of the White House in Washington in 2009.

Obamas dish on daughters BY DARLENE SUPERVILLE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

W

ASHINGTON – Malia Obama, 12, wears braces, toots a flute and is after her father to save the tigers. Younger sister Sasha, who is 9, shoots hoops like her basketball-loving dad and dances hip-hop. The girls get up at 6 a.m. to get ready for school. Barack and Michelle Obama put their girls off-limits to the news media after they moved to the White House, saying they wanted to keep their daughters’ lives as normal as possible. But tidbits about the private doings of the youngest children to live in the White House since the Kennedy family do dribble out. Often they come from a surprising source: Mom and Dad. It was President Barack Obama who revealed, perhaps to his daughter’s utter embarrassment, that Malia had been fitted with braces. He also spilled her plans to spend most of August at camp. “She’s my baby,” he

said of Malia, straying from his script at a political fundraiser of all places. “Even though she’s 5-(foot)-9 now, she’s still my baby. And she just got braces, which is good, because she looks like a kid and she was getting ... she’s starting to look too old for me.” The prospect of spending even part of the summer without his first born around also had Obama waxing sentimental. Asked about summer vacation plans, Obama told an interviewer that “a month of it’s going to be taken up with Malia going away for camp, which she’s never done before. And I may shed a tear when

she’s on the way out.” In a separate interview, Obama said his daughters have savings accounts and they get an allowance, though he didn’t say how much they get or how often they get it. He also said the girls are getting old enough where they may be able to start earning money by baby-sitting. The first lady is also guilty of breaching the privacy wall she and her husband put up around the girls. “Malia’s one issue for her father is saving the tigers,” Mrs. Obama told an audience of young children visiting the White House. “So we talk about the tigers at least once a week and what

he’s doing to save the tigers.” Tigers apparently are Malia’s favorite creature. Mrs. Obama also has revealed that: • Both girls play the piano; Malia also plays the flute. • Sasha likes to dance hip-hop. The girls also are working on their tennis game. • They are not allowed to watch TV during the week, and weekend viewing is limited. • The girls can only use the computer during the week if they need to for school assignments. The White House says the Obamas are just behaving like, well, parents when they talk about Malia and Sasha.
