DAVIDSON COUNTY – Davidson County commissioners will look for land to relocate the services of the Davidson County Health Department in Thomasville.

Commissioners last week directed county staff to begin the search for land for the health department and other county agencies that operate in Thomasville. The search comes after commissioners agreed to sell the John Varner Building, the facility on Old Lexington Road out of which the health department currently operates in Thomasville.

“The kind of direction the board gave the staff is that they feel like we still need to have a presence in Thomasville since it’s the largest municipality in the county,” Assistant County Manager Zeb Hanner Jr. said. “The direction we got was maybe to look for a property or facility that we could at least move the health department over to do the clinics and the long-term plan is to start phasing out Colonial Drive and put a newer campus over there.”

The county office on W. Colonial Drive in Thomasville currently houses the social services, sheriff, magistrate, Job Link Center, probation and parole, senior services, tax collection and child support/juvenile services.

The Colonial Drive Building, built in 1928, has been a “work horse” for the community, but the county continues to have problems with the building, County Manager Robert Hyatt said.

Davidson County is selling the John Varner Building to Piedmont Behavioral Health for $800,000. Hanner said the building is a great building but there are deed restrictions that limit the use of the building for only health and mental health services. He said mental health reform in 2005 left the county without a separate mental health agency, so the county had to join in with Piedmont Behavioral Health.

“I think Piedmont is thinking about putting a crisis unit there, which would be a good thing for the county,” Hanner said. “That was a perfect fit for what it could be used for, so we have been negotiating with Piedmont Behavioral Health. We are down pretty close to finish the deal.”

The county will have to be out of the John Varner Building 30 to 60 days after it closes the deal with Piedmont Behavioral Health, which should happen in October or November, according to Hanner. Meanwhile, the health department is freeing up space in its Lexington office for clients from Thomasville, said Davidson County Health Department Director Layton Long.

“I feel like we need to have a presence in Thomasville,” said Max Walser, chairman of the Davidson County Board of Commissioners. “I am committed to that.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Many pharmacies in the area have begun to administer flu shots. This CVS is located at the intersection of Montlieu Avenue and Hamilton Street.

Vaccines, promotions arrive early this year

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Despite temperatures still peaking in the 90s, reminders of the upcoming influenza season and vaccinations are popping up extra early this year.

According to local physicians and pharmacists, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is readying flu vaccinations earlier to get folks vaccinated before the peak flu season arrives in January. Major chain stores, including Rite Aid and Walgreens locations, already are offering the vaccine as well as deals on flu shots, such as Rite Aid’s $24.99 flu shot, which the store says is 17 percent lower than last year’s cost.

“It does seem like it’s starting early this year,” said Ryan Hoskins, pharmacist and owner of Archdale Drug and two more local pharmacies, about flu shot promotions. “Our supplier hasn’t told us when we’ll get ours in yet, but I do see the (promotional) signs everywhere.”

The vaccines bring in extra traffic to those who administer them, such as doctor’s offices, pharmacies and health departments. While some still are awaiting their shipments, others say they’ve already begun to dole out the vaccines.

“We are giving the vaccines to anyone who comes here and asks for it,” said Sam Woods, an internal medicine physician at Cornerstone Internal Medicine at Premier Medical Plaza in High Point. “We’ve had people requesting it since it’s been available.”

Flu vaccinations are nothing new, but businesses that provide them do say there is more of an interest in the vaccines since last year’s H1N1 scare. This year, the CDC included H1N1 immunization in the seasonal flu shot to eliminate the need for a separate H1N1 vaccine. Those older than 6 months also are encouraged to get the shot this year.

“H1N1 has had a dramatic impact on the way people look at flu shots,” Wood said. “It fizzled out, but we’re all very much flu aware.”

Hoskins said flu season brings in a noticeable amount of business to his pharmacies, while Wood said his patients often request the shot during routine appointments.

“It isn’t a huge thing for us,” Hoskins said.

“It’s more about just offering a service that customers don’t have to schedule in advance.”

Websites like www.findaflushot.com have become popular for those seeking the vaccine, said Lynne Beck, media relations manager at the Guilford County Department of Public Health. Some local pharmacies, such as CVS on S. Main Street in Archdale and the Rite Aid on National Highway in Thomasville, already have the flu shots on hand, while the health department expects to receive them in the coming weeks.

But no matter what avenue someone takes to get the shot, Beck said it’s just important to be vaccinated. “Just take advantage of its availability when it’s convenient for you,” she said. “It’s important for everyone’s health.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

“We have grown from $50 million in net worth to $400 million in 2010 because of land acquisition and new construction. All of the debt is for buildings.”

The Georgetown resident, now in his early 70s, opened this spring’s shrimp season by putting his boat up for sale. He advertised it not as a shrimp boat, but as a fix-’er-up house boat.

Why? Because he wanted it to sell, and few shrimpers are left to buy it.

“Just put you up a nice house on it,” he said with a tight seller’s smile, patting the cabin of the worn old boat.

Meanwhile, for generations upon generations in the Lowcountry, the coastal ocean remained the last wilderness. People made lives and their living taking that adventure.

In the 1990s, the wilderness began to disappear.

SPOT THE RIPPLES The laughing gulls are above as Brooks walks to his shrimper, the Miss Adrian Dawn. Five shrimp boats are moored at the half-empty dock and the dock down the waterway in Georgetown. As recently as a decade ago, boats tied up three abreast all along it.

Alongside his boat, The Grouper Snooper and Can Do II are tied up – offshore boats that would be fishing the snapper-grouper grounds if they hadn’t been shut down by catch restrictions.

Cap’n Rod’s Lowcountry Plantation Tours is running a tourist cruise boat down the harbor, pointing out the boats like the historic landmark they are fast becoming.

Hagan to host events focusing on economy, military

WORKED HIS WAY BACK Brooks has always fished and always tried to make a living from it. He worked for awhile dredging up and down the coasts of both states. He heard about the Kennedy assassination while 200 feet down in a dredge pump hole, trying to cut free a cypress log.

He brokered for himself and other shrimpers, moving local shrimp from Wanchese to Savannah, selling to Sea-Pac breaders.

He would back a tractor-trailer to the loading rail at Georgetown and fill it up. He sold flounder. He ran sturgeon roe to New York, picked up clams on Long Island, 500 gallons of oysters per day in season to shucking pants in Brunswick County.

But he always worked his way back to the water. As recently as 2000, shrimp and fishing boats were tying up in Georgetown from up north and down in Florida, and he was back in.

“They were kind of like the trucking business. Fuel was cheap enough you could go out and hunt the shrimp,” he said. He bought Miss Adrian Dawn from another shrimper, a 1955 classic, smaller than the average boat then but comfortable enough to work single-handedly.

He used to be able to “scrap,” drag nets for awhile, and if he didn’t pull in a catch, just lift the lines and try somewhere else. Now it costs too much fuel to go. The price for wild shrimp has plummeted with competition from foreign shrimp.

Helena teen accidentally texts sheriff to buy pot Dawg, do you have a $20 I can buy right now?”

Dutton told the Helena Independent Record he initially thought it was a joke, but he quickly realized it was a real request for drugs. He responded to the text, and a detective pretending to be the dealer organized a meeting with the boy last Wednesday.

“The kids knew that they were going to be at a particular store at a par-

ticular time,” Dutton told The Associated Press.

The detective spotted two teenage boys and a man at the store and called the phone number three times to make sure he had the right person. Dutton said when the detective showed the teens his badge, their faces turned white and their knees began to wobble.

One of the boys even fainted.

BALANCE SHEET

For most, way of life on water is drying up CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – Little more than a generation ago, miles of Lowcountry beaches were virtually untrampled and miles of its coast were forests and marshes. It looked just about like it did a century before.

When Hurricane Hugo crippled the Ben Sawyer Bridge in 1989, the swing bridge was the only road to Sullivan’s Island or Isle of Palms.

Before the Wild Dunes Resort was built in 1972, the entire east end of Isle of Palms was woods and rolling dunes.

Even after construction began at the upscale Sea Pines resort on Hilton Head in the 1950s, the island was so remote that much of it was prize hunting ground.

People like Ed Ravenel of Yonge’s Island, who grew up in the 1950s, grew up in a different place. A few years ago Ravenel wistfully recalled hopping on a Marsh Tacky, the Lowcountry’s own feral swamp horse, and mucking his way from the family’s Johns Island farm to remote, uninhabited Kiawah Island to tend the cattle.

Today, the median sales price for a home on Kiawah Island hovers around $1 million, according to Trulia Real Estate Search.

Not so far to the north, Joe Brooks began a life on the sea pulling an oar aboard a fish-netting boat with his father on Sunset Beach, just over the North Carolina border, and hauling in more fish than they could carry.

“But we still have needs, and we want to grow,” Qubein said. “We have the cash flow to service the debt.”

HPU’s current ratio of cash flow to debt currently stands far above the 1.2-to-1 ratio required by many bankers.

“Our financial plan has been very successful,” Qubein said. “I think many institutions would love to be where we are.”

On the downside, HPU’s investment income fell sharply in a down market from $4.3 million the previous year to $215,000.

Enjoy and protect flags in Trinity The Friends of Trinity placed American flags on telephone poles on Saturday for your patriotic enjoyment.

Please enjoy and protect these flags waving as a remembrance for our freedom in this great country.

I have received numerous comments of how enjoyable and proud they were that those flags were waving in the breeze. The flags will be removed and stored for future displays on Sept. 12.

This group of committed volunteers labor for its citizens on several projects. We could honor their efforts by protecting their labors and the flags they place.

You can call 911, or call me at 4765685, to report anyone who tries to steal or damage a mounted flag.

Let us agree to treat them as a tribute to those who have given their very lives to grant us the freedoms we enjoy.

I trust you are having a safe and enjoyable Labor Day. MAYOR CARLTON T. BOYLES City of Trinity

Bible didn’t come through the church “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid which is Jesus Christ.” – I Corinthians 3:11. Jesus Christ is not only the cornerstone of the church (His body), but the foundation also.

The apostles, including Peter, were part of the foundation only because they were the first members of the body of Christ.

Every structure has to be built on something.

Membership into the church – the body of Christ – is by the new birth. See Jesus’ discourse with Nicodemus in John 3, especially verses 3, 7, 15-18 and 36. Salvation is not in a church – Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic, or any other, but in a person – the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus does not call Peter

YOUR VIEW

---

“Cephas” in Matthew 16:18, but “Peter” – a little rock. Christ said He would build His church upon Peter’s confession in verse 16 – “Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” not on Peter.

How would we know anything about Christ or the church without the Bible? “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”

– II Peter 1:21. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God...” – II Timothy 3:16. Inspiration means God-breathed. The Bible didn’t come through the church.

Where in John 21:17 does it say the church was entrusted to Peter alone? Nowhere in Scripture is there any indication Peter was ever in Rome. Eusebius, if I remember correctly, was a Catholic historian.

Tradition was given equal authority with the Scriptures in 1546, and today, according to those saved out of Catholicism, is held above Scripture. Just check the King James Bible versus Catholic teaching.

Let’s all get on the same page with exercise As a member of the Exercise is Medicine community, I’m committed to encouraging physical activity for the health benefits it brings all people. After all, the case is compelling: • Exercise and physical activity are powerful medicine, helping prevent or treat numerous chronic conditions such as hypertension, cardiac disease, obesity, and diabetes.

• Research shows significant health benefits for those who engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week.

• A survey by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) reveals that while 42 percent of physicians talk to their patients about the importance of exercise, they don’t always offer suggestions on the best ways to be physically active.

• According to the same survey, nearly two-thirds of patients

would be more interested in exercising to stay healthy if advised by their doctor and given additional resources.

This is the impetus behind Exercise is Medicine, a program of ACSM. One objective is to encourage physicians to “prescribe” exercise during patient visits. Able patients are advised to participate in at least 30 minutes of physical activity and 10 minutes of stretching and light muscle training five days a week.

Let’s participate in Exercise is Medicine by taking these important steps: • Physicians, please talk with every patient about exercise and, as appropriate, refer them to a health fitness professional. Counseling them on the benefits of physical activity and what it can do for their long-term health is critical and should be a standard part of your practice.

• Patients, ask a few questions about your health status the next time you visit your doctor. Are you at a healthy weight? Takwing your current health status into consideration, what types of exercise are best and safest for you? Is there a trainer or dietician you should visit to improve your health?

• Parents, give your children the gift of lifelong wellness by being a role model and supporting them in establishing a habit of lifelong physical activity. Have fun being active as a family. To learn more about Exercise is Medicine, please visit www.exerciseismedicine.org.

Let’s all enjoy a regular, healthy dose of exercise!

Is the Florida preacher’s plan to burn Qurans on 9/11 going to make a valid point or stir up animosity toward the United States?

It worked before: Let’s help veterans again I

t’s the end of summer and time once again to celebrate the American workforce. The timing seems especially appropriate with the sluggish recovery on everyone’s minds as we enter the third quarter, which is often the most perilous. The steepest downturns often occur in this part of the year.

However, there are also signs that while it’s sluggish, we’re still headed out of the Great Recession and not double-dipping. Growth continues at a snails pace that’s almost imperceptible and unlike 2008 there are at least some industries that are hiring, such as financial and automotive. They were hit so hard in the downturn that record numbers were laid off.

New factory orders for cars and money returning to the financial markets are forcing them to look for new employees.

Housing sales, which were doing better due to the tax incentive for first-time buyers, have slumped again. That only points to the need for more stimulus packages to encourage people to get on with their lives.

Let’s try something that worked so well before and offer veterans of any age more of a break and tailor it to different groups of veterans. Currently, there are 23.2 million veterans in America according to the 2008 U.S. census.

There are 9.2 million older than the age of 65 who could probably use some help with a decent retirement home. It’s a chance to not only reward their service but

can serve as an example to a younger generation that we can do the right thing long after the sacrifice to country has been met.

Or there are the 1.9 million veterans OPINION under the age of 35 who could benefit Martha R. from being able to Carr buy a home and get a college degree.

There are also 5.2 million who served in the Gulf Wars and are just as caught up in the recession as the rest of us. Start there and create a domestic job corps that even includes the arts.

There was a renaissance of every art in America after the Great Depression as a direct result of the federal government hiring writers, photographers and filmmakers to document what was happening all around us. FDR not only ended up putting a lot of talented people to work who would have been hard to employ he ended up helping to create an amazing record of that era in our country that continues to inspire new generations.

Whenever large groups of people are willing to risk their life and limb so that we can buy three-dollar coffee at Starbucks and argue about who’s going to make the playoffs while worshipping at the place of our choosing, there ought to be some amount of gratitude in return that goes far above where we’re comfort-

Taliban to target Afghan polls KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – The Taliban vowed Sunday to attack polling places in Sept. 18 parliamentary elections, warning Afghans not to participate in what it called a sham vote.

Meanwhile, two coalition troops, one British and one from the Republic of Georgia, were killed in fighting in the turbulent south, while a political rival of President Hamid Karzai questioned his approach to pending talks with rebels who might be persuaded to abandon the insurgency.

The polling place threat issued Sunday comes just under two weeks before the vote.

Assault kills 12 at Baghdad military post

In this image made from television, Iraqi Defense Minister Abdul-Qadir al-Ubaidi (center) inspects the site of a suicide attack accompanied by soldiers at a military headquarters in Baghdad, Sunday. Suicide bombers hit a Baghdad military headquarters, killing 12 people.

Saddam confidant Aziz says he’ll die in prison BAGHDAD (AP) – The man who once served as the international face of Saddam Hussein’s regime predicted Sunday that he will die in an Iraqi jail, citing his old age and lengthy prison sentence.

During a brief interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, Tariq Aziz said that considering he is 74 and faces more than two decades in prison for crimes related to his role in the former regime, he expects to die behind bars.

Congo: 70 dead, 200 missing in 2 boat capsizes KINSHASA, Congo (AP) – Two boat capsizes in one weekend on Congo’s vast rivers have left 70 people dead and 200 others feared dead in unrelated incidents that were both characterized by heavily loaded boats operated with few safety measures, officials said Sunday.

Early Saturday, a boat on the Rupi River in northwest Equateur Province hit a rock and capsized, provincial spokeswoman Ebale Engumba said Sunday.

She said more than 70 people are believed dead among 100 estimated passengers.

38 perish in Guatemala mudslides NAHUALA, Guatemala (AP) – Torrential rains from a tropical depression caused landslides that have killed at least 38 people in Guatemala – some of them rescuers trying to save people already buried under a wall of mud.

In the village of Nahuala, about 200 rescue workers searched through mud and rocks for bodies Sunday after two slides

in the same spot killed at least 20 along a highway leading northwest of the capital toward Mexico.

Another slide closer to Guatemala City killed at least 12.

Suagustino Pascual Tuy, a Nahuala police officer, said he and several others rushed to the highway with picks and shovels after hearing radio reports of the fallen earth.

“I have no future. I have no future.

I’m 74 years old now,� said Aziz. “So I have Aziz no future.�

A z i z served for years as Saddam Hussein’s foreign minister, establishing an international reputation as a vociferous defender of the late dictator’s regime who was received by governments around the world. But his years in prison, repeated court cases and illness have

left him frail, hobbling on a cane.

Aziz surrendered to U.S. forces about a month after the war started in March 2003, and was held at an American prison in Baghdad until the U.S. handed over control of the facility this July to the Iraqi government. Aziz was handed over as well.

In the interview at the Iraqi High Tribunal, Aziz declined to talk about such topics as politics, the U.S. troop withdrawal or his treatment at the hands of Iraqi officials.

BAGHDAD (AP) – Suicide bombers struck a Baghdad military headquarters on Sunday and killed 12 people, two weeks after an attack on the same site pointed to the failure of Iraqi forces to plug even the most obvious holes in their security.

U.S. troops at the military compound to train Iraqi forces helped repel the attack, marking the first time American forces have been involved in an exchange of gunfire in Baghdad since the U.S. officially ended combat operations in Iraq less than a week ago.

In the brazen midday assault, suicide bombers set off a car bomb and managed to fight their way inside the building before being killed.

On Aug. 17, an al-Qaidalinked suicide bomber blew himself up at the same east Baghdad military headquarters and killed 61 army recruits in the deadliest act of violence in Baghdad in months.

Iraqi military spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said in a statement that 12 people were killed in Sunday’s attack and 36 were injured. Five Iraqi soldiers were among the dead.

An explosives-laden car charged the building and blew up. Then gunmen assaulted the headquarters, battling the building’s guards in a 15-minute firefight, according to police officials who said at least three militants were wearing explosives belts.

In this June 30 file photo, President Barack Obama greets members of the Wisconsin National Guard 128th Air Refueling Wing upon his arrival at Mitchell International airport in Milwaukee. When Obama makes his third Wisconsin visit in a little over two months today, he will get a chance to shore up his base at a Labor Day rally in a state where his approval ratings are dipping.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – President Barack Obama hopes to improve the fortunes of suddenly imperiled Wisconsin Democrats as he celebrates Labor Day with the state’s union workers today.

Democrats are happy for any boost he can deliver – though his appeal has been sliding – as resurgent Republicans have two big targets: three-term U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, whose defeat could help them gain control of the Senate, and the governor’s office, which is open for the first time in nearly three decades. “This has and will give us a shot in the arm, a lot of excitement to begin our political season,� said Sheila Cochran, the head of the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, which organizes the Laborfest event. “If his visit reminds them of what we could possibly go back to, then I’m all for it.�

While some union leaders have been disappointed with Obama and his ability to push through pro-labor legislation, Democrats are still counting on labor for get-out-the vote efforts and campaign help – crucial to the party in elections.

“I’m glad he’s helping,� Cochran said. “It shows how valuable this state is.�

However, when Obama speaks in Milwaukee, Feingold will be about 60 miles away at a parade in his hometown of Janesville.

Feingold, who faces a serious reelection challenge from Republican Ron Johnson, planned to be at the Milwaukee event in the morning four hours before the president arrives.

Obama will be speaking to a friendly crowd, but there’s no denying times are tough for unions and Democrats in Wisconsin.

For awhile it looked like the same Harley-Davidson motorcycles that will lead the Labor Day parade might not be made in Wisconsin anymore. The company, which has built its signature bikes in the state for more than a century, had been considering a move elsewhere to bring down labor costs, but on Friday the union and company reached a proposed agreement to keep the operations in the state.

Wisconsin has already lost 35,000 manufacturing jobs since Obama took office in 2009, and 182,000 such jobs since 2000.

US officials: Mideast talks to resume WASHINGTON (AP) – Israeli and Palestinian leaders plan talks with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Jerusalem this month. The setting is a symbolic move to show the seriousness of peace negotiations.

U.S. officials said Sunday Clinton would join Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Jerusalem on Sept. 15.

The exact location wasn’t immediately clear.

Those talks are to follow discussions Sept. 14 in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik.

Jerusalem’s status is a contentious issue in the negotiations, which kicked off last week in Washington.

Attorney: JetBlue attendant in NYC flap resigned NEW YORK (AP) – A flight attendant who captured America’s attention when he told off a plane full of passengers and then slid down an emergency chute resigned from his job last week and wasn’t fired, his lawyer said Sunday.

Steven Slater left the job at JetBlue Airways Corp. on Wednesday, after he had been suspended following the on-board antics he was charged with committing last month, attorney Daniel J. Horwitz said.

JetBlue had said Saturday that Slater was no longer an employee but didn’t give any details, which prompted online speculation he had been fired.

Horwitz said he and Slater were still working out some details with the Queens-based airline but wouldn’t

Slater, Slater 38, worked for JetBlue for about three years, though he has spent nearly 20 years in the airline industry.

He was working Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh to John F. Kennedy International Airport on Aug. 9 when, he said, an argument took place with a rude passenger. After landing at JFK, he went on the public address system, swore at a passenger who he claimed had treated him rudely, grabbed a beer and exited via an emergency chute, prosecutors said.

Nobody handles the issues of today like Armstrong Williams does. It’s the show that covers topics ranging from religion, politics, sports, entertainment, wealth building and other hot issues of the day.

HIGH POINT – Cobb Atkinson wanted to work at a school that was right for his children.

Now, he is doing just that as headmaster of Westchester Country Day School.

The former headmaster at Valwood School in Valdosta, Ga., started work in July at the independent K-12 private school with an enrollment of 420 students.

“This school has the size where children can be known, and it has a mission that is valid,” Atkinson said.

“There is a wide range of Atkinson opportunities here and there is a special approach to education.”

Atkinson succeeds the late Charles Hamblet, who was interim headmaster of the former Westchester Academy.

Westchester boasts an expanding curriculum, strong fine arts program, championship level athletic teams and an improvement plan. The school will probably remain small and dedicated, Atkinson said. “We don’t want to get terribly big,” he said. “We will probably concentrate on the curriculum and the facilities. You treasure the fact that you are small.”

Although Atkinson began his career as an educator at an independent school in 1990, his first career ambitions were elsewhere. As the son of a lawyer, he thought he would study law, but he eventually moved into English classes at Emory University in Atlanta.

“I was a certified scuba diving instructor by my junior year, and that gave the taste for teaching. The more time I spent with it, the more I knew I wanted to be a teacher and from there I rose up through the ranks,” he said.

Atkinson has come to love the private school environment.

“We can set our own expectations and standards. Kids can achieve here. I hear that from kids from other places.

That comes from the size of the school and our expectations. I think that is special.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3625

Five-year-old Kate Thornton succumbs to cancer

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – After capturing the hearts of the Triad community, 5-year-old Kate Thornton of Thomasville has lost her battle with cancer.

Katye Oliver, project manager for a nonprofit called Kisses4Kate, said Kate passed away at about 6 a.m.

Sunday, surrounded by her family.

Her condition had taken a sudden turn for the worse on Friday, Oliver said. The girl and her family had just moved that evening into their new Thomasville home, which was provided by the more than $100,000 raised by Kisses4Kate.

“It’s been a hard day,” Oliver said Sunday. “For me personally, part of me feels very, very sad today. A part of me also feels a sense of relief.

I know that Kate is no longer suffering. She was in a lot of pain. She was a beautiful little girl.”

Kate was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia two years ago. Doctors had performed what they thought would be a successful bone marrow transplant several months ago, but her cancer unexpectedly relapsed. Doctors said there was little else they could do other than to try to keep her comfortable.

Kate’s parents, Joe and Susan Thornton, made the decision last month not to resume chemotherapy treatment. Doctors said the treat-

ment would not save Kate’s life and likely would mean she would die at the hospital.

Kisses4Kate placed a down payment on a house and stormed the property with volunteers to help prepare for the Thorntons’ arrival on Friday. When the family moved

“We still have to raise $100,000 to pay off the loan that we have through the bank,” Oliver said. “We raised 50 percent of the money in just over a week, and we still need to raise the remainder. We will continue to do

Virginia dam has nearby residents on edge ROCKBRIDGE BATHS, Va. (AP) – The people who live in the homes and cabins along the Maury River in Rockbridge County are fairly certain of this: If the nearby Goshen Dam ever breaks, the massive wall of water and rock that will wash through their community will kill folks.

And, increasingly, they want to know why nobody seems to be doing anything to prepare for that possibility – especially

since the federal government concluded more than 30 years ago that the big earthen dam is a “high hazard.� The government followed up that assessment earlier this decade with a report that the dam is “at risk of failure� if a once-in-200-years storm hits.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers report concluded that failure of the dam, one of about 30 “high hazard� dams in the state, would potential-

ly kill 28 people, threaten 265 and cause $25 million in damage along the stretch of river from the dam to Rockbridge Baths. The corps calculated there are 165 structures and 330 vehicles in the area’s flood plain, and with each passing year – the dam is now 44 years old – the threat of a catastrophic storm looms larger for residents.

But the story of why the Goshen Dam has not been upgraded is

one of government intervention followed by government inertia, an approach that has frustrated people for years.

The federal government agreed to “repair and upgrade� the privately owned dam in 1996, only to fail to do the work. “The dam is very dangerous and it needs to be fixed,� said Linda Larsen, who owns a cabin on the riverbank. “For people who live there, it’s pretty scary.�

Comedian Schimmel dies after wreck PHOENIX (AP) – Standup comic Robert Schimmel, a frequent guest on Howard Stern’s radio show, has died after suffering serious injuries in a car accident.

He was 60.

Schimmel’s spokesman, Howard Bragman, said Schimmel died Friday evening in a Phoenix hospital.

Schimmel was a passenger Aug. 26 in a car driven by his 19-year-old daughter Aliyah. Bragman said Aliyah Schimmel swerved to avoid another car and the vehicle she was driving rolled to the side of the freeway. Bragman said she is hospitalized in stable condition.

Robert Schimmel lived in Scottsdale. The 60-yearold comedian has been a frequent guest on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien� and on Howard Stern’s radio show. His 2008 memoir, “Cancer on $5 a Day,� chronicles his battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Schimmel starred in a Fox sitcom that was picked up in 2000 but had to be canceled after he learned he had cancer and needed to begin chemotherapy immediately, according to his website.

She’s still got it Senior Grace Guillory shows her style with a hula hoop at the Oconee County Senior Center at Veterans Park in Watkinsville, Ga., on Friday.

Candidate says he’s being kept in the shadows COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – A third-party gubernatorial candidate is lashing out at South Carolina’s political establishment, saying he’s not getting the attention he deserves because of racism, hypocritical black leaders and censorship under a two-party system.

In an effort to grab attention, Morgan Reeves picketed Wednesday in front of a federal building named after the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, demanding Thurmond’s name be removed from it and other buildings and parks.

As the 51-year-old divorced father of three rebuked others, his demands and claims raised questions about his own biography.

Reeves will be listed twice on the ballot, with the Green and United Citizens parties. As of July, he had less than $500 in campaign cash. He says there’s a direct connection between his treatment and Thurmond’s racism more than 60 years ago as he ran for president as a Dixiecrat.

Reeves said it doesn’t matter that Thurmond later renounced his segre-

gationist views during decades in the U.S. Senate, or that he was revered across the political spectrum by the time he died seven years ago. “His ways have influenced legislators in the state of South Carolina.

For instance, right now, I am sitting here, an African-American running for governor, and they don’t even ask me my opinions,�

Reeves said.

Reeves, who is also running for a Lexington-Richland school board seat, is quick to blame discrimi-

nation for his not getting the same attention as Republican Nikki Haley and Democrat Vincent Sheheen.

He has called reporters racist and demanded their resignations, and disparaged black politicians and ministers for backing Sheheen, who is white, saying such behavior turns back the civil rights movement. “African-Americanswho live on the plantation will vote for him. They are the Uncle Toms,� he told The AP earlier this week.

White Oak Pastures owner Will Harris says animal welfare is a top priority at his business, which is the largest certified-organic farm in the state of Georgia.

Oak, the state’s largest certified organic farm, is that animal welfare is foremost.

The farm is free-range, meaning the animals are not confined to a particular pasture and are allowed unhindered movement.

Following the Serengeti Model, Harris’ large ruminants are the cattle, the small ruminants are sheep and the birds are chickens and turkeys. “What we are trying to do is to create a system that allows our animals

Georgia cattleman turns farm into Southern Serengeti BLUFFTON, Ga. (AP) – Will Harris III is a fourth generation “cow man.�

So what would his daddy think of what he’s doing on his 1,000-acre farm tucked into this bucolic corner of Early County? “Oh, he’d have never let me do it,� Harris said, laughing.

What Harris is doing at White Oaks Pasture is spinning 134 years of family tradition on its ear by turning his back on the “Industrial Agricultural Establishment’s� traditional methods of cattle farming.

In 1995 Harris decided to base his farm on the “Serengeti Ecosystem Rotation Model� in which large ruminants are followed by small ruminants then birds to provide a circle of life in the ecologically rich grasslands of Africa. “We began the transition in 1995, but the truth is we’re still transitioning,� Harris, 55, said.

White Oak is the only on-farm, USDA-inspected grass-fed processing plant in the United States. Harris says basis of White

The dam, the lake and surrounding land are owned by the National Capital Area Council of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-

to follow their instinctive behavior. It’s the silver bullet for animal welfare.� said Harris, a 1976 University of Georgia graduate with a degree in animal science.

The farm’s green bent goes beyond its animals.

The plant’s entire water supply is heated by solar energy, and some of the its power comes from a $320,000 solar pole barn.

The barn is capped with 216 27-by-28-foot solar panels which generate 30 percent of the plant’s energy.

NC campaign season revs with GOP optimism brimming

AP

Nineteen-year-old Charlie Taylor (right) was once represented by L.H. Buff, a Guardian ad Litem in the 7th Judicial Circuit’s Guardian Ad Litem Program.

Guardian ad litem can offer stability to young SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – It was the second time Charles Taylor had been placed in foster care.

This time, he was separated from his brother.

Only 11 years old, his life uprooted, Taylor said he had nobody.

Then he met Spartanburg County guardian ad litem L.H. Buff. “He was a friend, and sometimes that’s all a kid needs just a friend to talk to,� Taylor said.

Volunteer guardians ad litem “represent and advocate for the best interests of children in family court proceedings involving allegations of abuse or neglect,� according to the South Carolina Volunteer Guardian Ad Litem Program.

Jean Bradley is coordinator of the 7th Judicial Circuit’s Guardian Ad Litem Program. Her office oversees Spartanburg and Cherokee counties. She said they currently have just over 200 cases involving about 500 children.

Last year, volunteers advocated

for 609 abused and neglected children in Spartanburg County. Eighty-eight were turned away because there were not enough trained volunteers.

Bradley In the past, if a volunteer or case manager were not available to serve as a child’s guardian, an attorney was appointed. Not any longer.

Bradley said her office will have to assign a volunteer or case manager to all cases. Attorneys no longer are appointed as guardians ad litem in family court proceedings.

That ruling from the S.C. Supreme Court went into effect July 1.

Bradley said they have about 65 to 70 active volunteer guardians in Spartanburg County and 25 in Cherokee County. More are needed.

While case workers and living arrangements frequently changed, Taylor said Buff was probably the

only person who was around the entire time.

Growing up in the system, Taylor said he met a lot of people whose job it was to care. Buff, he said, was different. He talked to the youngster and encouraged him to work hard in school.

Taylor is unsure where he would be today without Buff’s positive influence. He is now a young man who has “aged out� of the system.

Buff, a guardian ad litem since 2001, also served as a guardian for Taylor’s siblings.

Bradley said it’s an undertaking that comes with rewards. “It’s frustrating. It’s sad sometimes. But it’s rewarding. I can’t begin to tell you how rewarding it is,� Bradley said. “People tell us all the time, ‘I don’t know how you do this. You know, I couldn’t deal with this.’ When you look at a situation like Charlie and see what L.H. has meant to him, it makes it all worthwhile.�

Couple enjoying good life is getting bad reception

D

ear Abby: For 10 years my husband and I worked hard in our careers, but didn’t have much to show for it.

Our house is shabby and old, we carpool to save money and have been extremely frugal.

Last year we got lucky.

We changed jobs and our salaries increased greatly. We paid off our student loans and are now debt-free. We have now decided to move to a nicer neighborhood with better schools for our children and because we can afford a larger home.

When I told our friends about the houses we have been considering, they accused me of “showing off� and not being “myself.� They say my news about trips we’ve taken and how happy we are with our new jobs is “boasting.�

I am embarrassed that I came off this way to friends, but it’s a relief to finally be free of financial stress and able to afford a lifestyle we have only dreamed about. I intend to watch what I say now, so as not to annoy them.

Abby, is it more about jealousy on their part, or is it me being a bore? – Moving Up in New Brunswick, Canada Dear Moving Up: Frankly, it’s a little of both. But it’s more about the lack of sensitivity you displayed when you

ADVICE Dear Abby

started crowing. In the future, talk about things other than your good fortune or keep your beak shut.

Dear Abby: My husband and I desperately need help concerning our 25-year-old daughter, “Grace.� She was always a bit “awkward,� but we became more concerned about her as she neared adulthood. Grace misused her college money and dropped out of school.

She has been evicted twice, and we have paid off several outstanding liens against her that amounted to thousands of dollars.

Grace has now decided she wants a baby, and she’s six months pregnant. This month, at my urging, she married her fiance so she could be put on his medical insurance.

Grace was laid off her job, and they are trying to live on his income as a waiter. They struggle to pay the rent, there is little food in the apartment and she can’t find a job. The maternity insurance coverage is only $3,000. I have urged her to seek county help, but she complained that it “takes â– â– â–

too long� to hang on the phone or stand in line.

I am 62 and my husband is 73. We have one income and a son who’s in college still living at home. We don’t have the resources to give our daughter more money.

I have always tried to please her and make things perfect. I don’t see how we can “fix� this, but now there is an innocent life involved. What should we do? – Anxious in Albuquerque Dear Anxious: You have already done more than enough “fixing� for your daughter. Continue to encourage Grace to get help from the county or the state. She will need adequate nutrition to produce a healthy baby.

Also, what about your son-in-law’s family? Are they capable of providing assistance, financial or otherwise, to the parents-to-be? If not, and you have reason to believe your grandchild won’t be properly cared for, you must ensure that a social worker knows what’s going on. There should be one on staff at the hospital where the child is delivered.

More details on shooting released MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MORGANTON – The Morganton Department of Public Safety said Officer Johnny Cooper, involved in the shooting death of Michael Sipes, 17, heard a shot fired before he drew his weapon and discharged it.

Sipe’s mother maintains that her son never fired a shot from his .22-cal. gun.

Public Safety Chief Mark Tolbert read a written statement Friday afternoon at public safety headquarters.

The complete statement is published online at Morganton.com.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s election season kicks into high gear after Labor Day, but state Republicans already are revved up.

With national polls showing independent voters turning away from President Barack Obama and Democrats and a state economy that hasn’t yet turned the corner, GOP activists are feeling good about their Election Day prospects. “I’m optimistic because the way things have been have made us angry,� said Betty Spence, 66, of Sanford, who attended a Republican Party rally last week for legislative candidates. “We’re ready for things to be different, and we’re excited about getting out here and hopefully working toward making things different.�

While Republicans are resolute on getting U.S. Sen. Richard Burr elected to a second term and controlling both chambers of the General Assembly for the first time in 112 years, Democrats are taking a vigilant approach to the Republican prospects. They said

they feel confident about their position entering the last two months of the campaign and will have the money to get their message out. But they won’t dismiss national trends. “This will be a tight election. We all know that,� said state Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, who lost his House seat in the last big election sweep for Republicans in 1994. “We’ll all spend money and we’ll all tell tales. But at the end, we’ll fight to a draw and it all matters who turns out.�

North Carolina Republicans are galvanized because of what they say is an ever-reaching national government and a state government that raised taxes and failed to curb spending. They believe unaffiliated voters, which comprise 23 percent of the state’s registered voters, are joining them.

Recent Associated Press-GfK polls show only 32 percent of those citing no allegiance to either party say they want Democrats to keep control of Congress.

any people assume firefighters spend a big part of their day sitting around the fire station passing the time of day and waiting for the next alarm to sound.

The problem with that scenario is that it could not be further from the truth.

Throughout the years, the responsibilities of the fire service has continually expanded, requiring tremendous FIREHOUSE amounts CHAT of training so firefightLee ers can Knight handle a â– â– â– wide array of situations that arise. Years ago firefighters simply fought fires. Now there is a long list added to that responsibility.

Today firefighters in High Point must also handle emergency medical calls, vehicle accidents, hazardous materials incidents – which include taking classes related to terrorist threats, such as weapons of mass destruction – and all types of rescue calls, including structural collapse, water rescue, trench, high angle and confined space rescue.

We also have a dive team to handle incidents at our lakes and retention ponds.

It takes a tremendous amount of time and training to maintain a high level of proficiency in all these areas.

I promise, I’m not complaining.

Firefighters love a challenge, and over time have embraced all these new responsibilities.

Training is continuous to improve skills and find new and improved ways to provide service to the people of High Point. It’s what we’re paid to do, and we love doing our job, but more important, it’s what you deserve.

My point is that there is little time to play checkers as our world continues to change, and our responsibilities continue to increase.

One of the amazing things about our job is that no matter how much we train, we will always run into a situation for which we’re not fully prepared. Even though training cannot solve every challenge, it can provide the skills and confidence to help us find workable solutions to unusual challenges we run into on a daily basis.

It’s often referred to in the fire service as “adapt and overcome.� You solve problems by utilizing available resources to overcome challenges.

What a great job this is, always full of surprises.

Recognizing poison ivy is its best prevention

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Please write about poison ivy treatment. Lately, two friends have used bleach to treat poison ivy. I think this is harmful. It seems to be a common folk remedy.

– Anon.

BLONDIE

The rash of poison ivy is an allergic reaction caused by urushiol (youROO-she-al) found in the plant’s sap. All parts of the poison ivy plant – roots, stems, leaves – contain it. First exposure to poison ivy and its sap produces no reaction, but it stimulates the production of antibodies against the sap. Second exposure triggers the allergy that results in patches of redness and blisters on skin touched by sap. The rash appears around 12 to 14 hours after exposure. It can persist for three to four weeks. It is quite itchy.

The best preventive for poison ivy is learning what the plant looks like. Word descriptions are lost on me. Seeing a picture of it fixes it in the mind. You can find such pictures in any encyclopedia or on the Internet.

If you have come in contact with poison ivy, wash your skin as soon as possible. If you wait longer than 10 minutes, only 50 percent of the sap is removed. None is removed if the wait is longer than an hour.

Cold, wet compresses, left on the skin for 15 to 30 minutes, several times a day, are soothing.

Calamine lotion works, as do cortisone creams and lotions. If HEALTH large areas of skin Dr. Paul have come Donohue in contact ■■■ with the sap, baths with colloidal oatmeal (Aveeno) control itching.

Antihistamines also are helpful. Don’t use bleach.

It’s an irritant, and can harm the skin.

Clothing should be washed, and shoes and boots cleaned.

If the outbreak is severe, a doctor consultation is required. Oral cortisone (prednisone) is generally prescribed.

Dear Dr. Donohue: What causes warts?

I have several on my fingers and would like to get rid of them. I tried a wart remover that I purchased at a drugstore.

It didn’t work too well.

Could I have gotten them from gardening, which I did recently? – B.M. Papillomaviruses cause warts. The virus is transferred from one person to another. You didn’t pick it up from gardening. You don’t get it from pets.

Patience often cures warts. Spontaneous cures occur frequently, but the waiting period can be from one to five years.

Look at the label of

your wart remover to see if it contains salicylic acid. It’s usually effective, but more than one application is necessary.

It can take three months before you see results.

Duct tape might work for you. First soak the warts in warm water.

Then lightly rub them with an emery board or pumice stone (both drugstore items). Cover the warts with duct tape and leave it on for six days. Remove and repeat the same steps. It can take two months of this routine before the warts go.

Your doctor can rid you of warts more quickly by freezing them off.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I had surgery for cataract removal. The next morning, when the eye patch was removed, my eye was bloodshot, and I could not see very well. Soon the haze disappeared, and my vision was better.

Is a bloodshot eye common after surgery? Can it be avoided? How does the blood exit the eye?

Does it increase eye pressure? – D.A. The conjunctiva covers the eye. It’s a clear, cellophanelike wrapping.

A bloodshot eye is blood under the conjunctiva.

Small, delicate blood vessels lie beneath it. They often break during surgery.

They break from sneezing, coughing or just spontaneously, too. The blood is absorbed in a week or two.

It doesn’t cause a rise in eye pressure.

Corny fun for kids High Point Museum hosts doll-making exercise

IGH POINT – One of the High Point Museum’s most popular activities – making dolls out of simple cornhusks – will be offered this weekend at the museum’s Historical Park.

With assistance from museum staff, visitors are invited to make a cornhusk doll to take home with them. The dolls will be free for museum members and $1 apiece for non-members.

The activity will be offered from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday.

“This has always been a popular activity at the museum,” says Sarah DeYoung, museum educator. “It’s aimed at families, and it’s a really great activity for kids.”

According to DeYoung, Native Americans taught Europeans how to make the cornhusk dolls.

“It’s this weird technique of

SPECIAL | HPE

Native Americans taught the art of making cornhusk dolls to European settlers.

Americans and early settlers used simple items – often including natural items, such as cornhusks – to make toys, DeYoung explains.

“They would use things like cornhusks, wooden hoops, wooden sticks – a lot of their toys were wooden because they didn’t have plastic,” she says. “The children could make some of the more simple toys themselves, but sometimes their parents would make them or someone in the community.”

Sometimes they would use

something that had been cast off to make a toy, DeYoung continues.

For example, children enjoyed playing a game where they would take a hoop and use a stick to make it roll upright.

“A lot of times, they would use the metal rings from a barrel for the hoop,” DeYoung says. “Kids back then were good at making up their own games with whatever items they had on hand.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Over the course of two weeks last fall, volunteers helped remove 1.7 million pounds of litter from North Carolina roadsides.

The N.C. Department of Transportation hopes to exceed that number during this fall’s Litter Sweep, which runs from Sept.

18 to Oct. 2.

During Litter Sweep, additional department employees are assigned to pick up litter and remove the orange trash-filled bags left along roadsides by Adopt-AHighway groups and other volunteers. Assistance is also provided by inmate squads and community service workers from the N.C. Department of Correction.

“The department’s Litter Sweep initiative helps improve roadway safety, roadside appearance and the state’s overall environment,” said Transportation Secretary Gene Conti.

The N.C. State Highway Patrol will continue to watch for motorists who litter or fail to secure their loads properly. Offenders can be fined up to $2,000, be ordered to do 24 hours of community service work and receive one point on their driver license.

Motorists are encouraged to participate in Litter Sweep by ensuring their loads are properly secured and disposing of trash appropriately. Citizens are reminded that cigarette butts are litter and can act as stormwater pollutants that contaminate the environment when discarded onto roadways and sidewalks.

CROSSWORD

Monday, Sept. 6, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Greg Rusedski, 37; Rosie Perez, 46; Jane Curtin, 63; Swoosie Kurtz, 66 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You’ll have to be creative when it comes to work and earning more money.

A little ingenuity will go a long way. Doors will open if you rid yourself of burdens or responsibilities that don’t really belong to you. Get things in order and move on to bigger and better times.

Your numbers are 8, 13, 18, 24, 28, 31, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): An impulsive move will turn out well. A passionate approach to life, love and work will help you maintain the status quo. Don’t let a bully stand in your way when you have what it takes to outsmart and maneuver your way to victory. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid emotional decisions or impossible situations. Deception is apparent when dealing with friends, children or anyone trying to keep a secret. Don’t give in to emotional blackmail. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will face opposition if you are overtly competitive. Love and romance are highlighted. Make sure you spend time nurturing the relationships that mean the most to you. Personal changes to your appearance will be noticed. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take care of responsibilities first but don’t let guilt keep you from something you want to do. If you are organized, you can fit everything into your schedule, meeting the demands being put on you and satisfying your own needs. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Uncertainty will lead to a lost opportunity. Look beyond the obvious.

Romance is heightened and must be fit into your busy agenda. You will gain insight into personal issues if you listen to what a loved one shares with you. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The only way things will happen is if you make it so. Don’t let financial uncertainties be your excuse for not accomplishing. Instead, find a cost effective way to get things done. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Letting depression limit what you can do is a waste of time. If you aren’t happy with the way you look or how much you know, move forward to achieve the style you want. Stop dwelling on the negative. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Trust what you know to be fact. Don’t let emotional issues at home or work cloud your vision. Keep your thoughts and plans out in the open, as secrets will be revealed, making you look bad. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may be very enthusiastic and that’s OK, but don’t overshadow someone who can make a difference to the outcome of what you are working toward.

Concentrate your energy on creating a better home environment. Romance is in the stars. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have to be stern when it comes to how generous you are with friends and family. Focus on fixing up your place and making your money work for you.

Long-term investments will pay off and keep your finances safe. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Listen to someone with experience and wisdom to help you through times of temptation. Changes you make will open doors and help you obtain a better lifestyle. A unique opportunity to make extra cash is apparent. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone you look up to will be able to sort through a personal problem you’ve been facing. Wisdom and experience offered may appear harsh at first but, once implemented, will ease your stress. A new attitude will paint the way to plenty of options. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

When a lifelong procrastinator passed on, her obituary included this: “To honor Ann’s memory, her funeral will begin 10 minutes late.”

A good declarer may need to procrastinate.

He must manage his entries, perhaps by waiting to take a winner or to draw trumps. In today’s deal, South booted four spades, but at least he did so quickly. He took the ace of clubs and the K-A of trumps and led a diamond: eight, jack, queen.

East returned the queen of hearts, and South took the ace, drew the last trump and tried another diamond: five, ten, king.

The defense then took two hearts and a club.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION

NOT EASY

You hold: S 5 4 3 H K 9 2 D 8 5 C K Q 10 7 3. Your partner opens one diamond, and the next player passes. What do you say?

“It’s not easy to go down two with nine top tricks,” North observed.

South must delay. He leads a diamond from dummy at Trick Two. East wins and shifts to hearts, and South wins, goes to the ace of diamonds, ruffs a diamond, leads a trump to dummy and ruffs a diamond. He draws trumps with the AK and takes the good diamond for his 10th trick.

This week: entry management.

ANSWER: You must respond since for all you know, your partner holds 2, A 7 6, A K J 7 6, A J 9 5, and you can make a slam.

You lack the values to respond two clubs, hence try 1NT. If partner rebids two diamonds, you’ll pass. If he bids two clubs, you’ll raise to three clubs.

If he raises to 2NT, you’ll bid 3NT, especially if vulnerable.

North dealer Both sides vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Thomasville takes top spot

BY MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

HIGH POINT – Impressive road work paved the way for Thomasville’s path to the No. 1 ranking in The High Point Enterprise High Five prep football poll this week.

The Bulldogs, who stand 3-0 after wins at Cox Mill, Mount Airy and A.L. Brown, jumped from second to first in voting by the three-member Enterprise sports staff.

Thomasville earned two of three first-place votes and 14 points.

High Point Central, which held the top ranking for the first two polls, held second with the other first-place vote and 12 points. The Bison improved to 3-0 with Thursday night’s 24-15 victory over Lexington.

Southwest Guilford maintained a stranglehold on third place.

The Cowboys, who upped their record to 30 with Friday’s 36-3 romp past Ledford, garnered 10 points.

7 6

Bishop McGuinness earned fourth place in the ratings with six points. The Villains posted a 49-0 rout of Highland Tech to go to 2-0 on the campaign.

Ragsdale rounded out the survey with three points. The Tigers (2-1) bounced back from a 12-0 loss at Dudley with a 25-17 win over Western Guilford on Friday night.

No other team collected votes in this week’s High Five.

All five ranked teams are in action on Friday.

Thomasville completes its four-game, season-opening road swing with a trip to Albemarle. High Point Central goes to Smith, while Southwest plays host to T.W. Andrews, Bishop travels to South Davidson and Ragsdale visits Page.

AP

East Carolina’s Justin Jones leaps to make the game-winning touchdown catch over Tulsa defenders Trae Johnson, Trent Wilkins and Jameel Owens as time runs out at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville on Sunday.

“I’ve been doing this for 24 years, and that’s never happened to me,” Tulsa coach Todd Graham said.

“We usually have a play we execute to put pressure on the quarterback so he can’t make that throw. We called the play and didn’t

ATLANTA (AP) – Denny Hamlin wanted to get an early start on the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Now, he’s just glad that it’s almost here.

After starting from the pole, Hamlin had another dismal result on Sunday in the Emory Healthcare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, going out with a blown engine on lap 144 that again raised concerns about the reliability

execute. That’s our fault.”

A brief review upheld the call and the Pirates, who were flagged for an excessive celebration, skipped the extra point and instead took a knee.

“I guess I’m just lucky I’m taller than every-

body,” Jones said.

The teams combined for 1,117 total yards and the lead changed hands 12 times during a wacky, back-and-forth C-USA shootout in which defense seemed optional. Harris caught seven passes for

121 yards while Lewis finished with six grabs for 105 yards.

Davis had touchdown passes of 43 and 30 yards to Lewis and 6 and 34 yards to Harris. He scored on a 2-yard keeper early in the fourth quarter.

of a car that won five races during a 10-race stretch earlier in the season.

“We just have one more week to hopefully survive,” he said. “At this point, I’m so lucky there’s no more races (after next week at Richmond) before the Chase cutoff, or else we would be in danger of missing it. It’s just very discouraging, but I know we can get it together.”

Sunday night’s race ended too late to be included in today’s edition of The High Point Enterprise. Look for a story and rundown in Tuesday’s edition.

Hamlin has not won in nearly two months and struggled to finishes of 34th and 37th in two of his last three races before Atlanta. He clearly had a strong car Sunday, leading 74 laps before the blown engine ended the run.

national championship race. The winner takes a major first step on the road to the BCS national title game.

I’m curious to see if those BCS-bustin’ Broncos can claim another big-name victim.

The Hokies are talking national championship. A victory over Boise State would help validate those lofty goals.

At 4 p.m., Maryland looks to sink Navy in Baltimore. ESPN offers the TV coverage.

While neither team is nationally ranked, plenty of intriguing storylines abound.

The Terps need a win to get the ship started in the right direction after sinking to a 2-10 record last season. That marked the

first 10-loss season in program history.

Another year like that and head coach Ralph Friedgen could find former in front of his title.

As for the Midshipmen, their punishing ground game features plenty of options and loads of big-play potential. Navy is a fun team to watch. The Middies prove you don’t have to pass 50 times a game to be entertaining.

Enjoy this double-dose of holiday football, folks. Happy Labor Day! And pass the crab cakes!

BASEBALL FLORIDA ATLANTA (10)

Pirates grab wild last-second win GREENVILLE (AP) – In his first start at East Carolina, quarterback Dominique Davis provided one of the greatest finishes in the history of the program.

Davis heaved a 33-yard touchdown pass to a leaping Justin Jones as time expired to give the Pirates a wild 51-49 win against Tulsa on Sunday in coach Ruffin McNeill’s debut at his alma mater.

Davis was 27 of 46 for 383 yards with five touchdown passes – two to Lance Lewis, two to Dwayne Harris – and one rushing TD in his first start for East Carolina (10, 1-0 Conference USA).

“That was the greatest experience of my life,” said Davis, the former Boston College quarterback said. “There was probably people in the stands – our fans – who probably thought the game was over. But I told the team, ‘Just trust.’ As soon as I let it go, I knew he was going to catch it.”

G.J. Kinne finished 28 of 43 for 399 yards for Tulsa (0-1, 0-1). His fifth touchdown pass – a 3yard toss to Charles Clay with 1:22 left – appeared to have been enough for the Golden Hurricane.

But Davis whisked the Pirates downfield in nine plays. On the final snap, he launched the ball high toward a handful of players in the end zone. The 6-foot-8 Jones outjumped everyone for it, setting off a massive celebration.

SPORTS THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2010 www.hpe.com

Querrey carries U.S. banner NEW YORK (AP) – Sam Querrey wants to put the “U.S.� back in the U.S. Open.

It’s been seven years since a man from the United States won the country’s most important tennis tournament. Indeed, it’s been that long since an American man won any Grand Slam singles title.

Querrey is all-tooaware of such statistics — and the chatter about such droughts.

Cheered on by a boisterous, partisan crowd, the 20th-seeded Querrey beat 14thseeded Nicolas Almagro of Spain 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 Sunday to reach the fourth round at Flushing Meadows for the second time in three years.

At the 2009 U.S. Open, zero U.S. men reached the quarterfinals for the first time in the history of an event that began in 1881. Querrey never has been to the quarterfinals at a major tournament, nor has his next opponent, No. 25-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland.

Wawrinka upset No. 4 Andy Murray of Britain 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-3 in the only significant surprise on a day that saw No. 1 Rafael Nadal and four other Spaniards advance: No. 8 Fernando Verdasco, No. 10 David Ferrer, No. 23 Feliciano Lopez, and unseeded Tommy Robredo.

Another American, No. 19 Mardy Fish, won Saturday to earn a spot in the fourth round, where he will take on No. 3 Novak Djokovic of Serbia.

And a third, No. 18 John Isner, hoped to join Querrey and Fish in the final 16; Isner was to face No. 12 Mikhail Youzhny of Russia on Sunday night in the last men’s third-round match in Querrey’s section of the draw.

With Sunday’s five Spaniards joining No. 21 Albert Montanes, who won Saturday, that country has six members of the last 16 – tying the record for a country other than the United States at the U.S. Open.

Verdasco eliminated David Nalbandian of Argentina 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.

MEN’S CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP AT HPCC

WHERE: Willow Creek FORMAT: 54 holes of flighted stroke play LEADERS: Brooks Brock and Andy Swaim share the lead in championship flight at 152. Brock carded a second-round 74 on Sunday, while Swaim shot 77. David Millis fired an 81 to hold third at 155.

Brett Barbour and Tooey Loy share fourth at 158.

In the blue tee division, Charles Myers leads at 180, two shots ahead of Kurt Limbacher. Mike Torrence is third at 184. In the white tee division, Brian Bunch sets the pace at 165, followed by Dave Zenns at 168 and Bob Crawford at 171.

OF NOTE: The event concludes today at Willow Creek.

AP

Florida’s Scott Cousins (facing camera) is hugged by teammate Hanley Ramirez (2) and manager Edwin Rodriguez after driving the winning run home during the 10th inning against the Braves in Miami on Sunday. The Marlins won 7-6.

Cousins’ walk-off hit makes Marlins one happy family THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI – Sent to the plate after a scary scene, Florida pinch-hitter Scott Cousins delivered a game-winning single in the 10th inning for his first big league hit and the Marlins beat the Braves 7-6 on Sunday.

The Braves had overcome a 6-0 deficit.

They kept a one-game lead over Philadelphia in the NL East.

Cousins batted after Emilio Bonifacio lined a foul that struck teammate Logan Morrison in the helmet in the on-deck circle. Morrison collapsed face-down as the crowd gasped, but quickly rose and walked off the field accompanied by a trainer.

Bonifacio hit a leadoff triple against Eric O’Flaherty (3-2). Cousins batted for Morrison and singled over the head of left fielder Melky Cabrera. It was only the second atbat in the majors for Cousins.

ered and Jason Marquis won his second in a row after previously going winless all season as the Nationals beat the Pirates in a matchup of last-place clubs.

ASTROS 3, DIAMONDBACKS 2 PHOENIX – Hunter Pence’s three-run home run in the first inning helped the Houston Astros beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 on Sunday.

TWINS 6, RANGERS 5

ST. LOUIS – Matt Holliday hit a go-ahead, three-run homer to back Chris Carpenter’s latest dominant effort against Cincinnati, helping the St. Louis Cardinals take two of three from the NL Central-leading Reds with a 4-2 victory Sunday.

The Cardinals reduced the Reds’ formidable lead to seven games with 28 games to go. The two teams are not scheduled to play again this season.

MINNEAPOLIS – In a bizarre ending, Texas third base coach Dave Anderson was called for interfering with runner Michael Young for the final out Sunday, giving the Minnesota Twins a 6-5 win over the Rangers.

Down 6-2, the Rangers scored twice in the ninth inning and had the bases loaded with two outs.

Vladimir Guerrero grounded an RBI single up the middle that Twins second baseman Orlando Hudson fielded behind the bag. Young, who had been on second, came running around third and appeared to tap hands with Anderson before stopping and scrambling back to the bag. Young made a dive back into third and appeared to beat Hudson’s throw to third baseman Matt Tolbert.

But third base umpire Alfonso Marquez pointed and made the interference call, ending the game.

METS 18, CUBS 5

BLUE JAYS 7, YANKEES 3

CHICAGO – Ruben Tejada hit his first major league homer and drove in five runs, Ike Davis also connected and the Mets erupted for 21 hits and pounded the Cubs to avoid a weekend sweep.

NEW YORK – Aaron Hill and Vernon Wells each hit two-run homers and the Toronto Blue Jays spoiled Alex Rodriguez’s return to the New York lineup, beating the Yankees to halt their eightgame winning streak.

CARDINALS 4, REDS 2

BREWERS 6, PHILLIES 2 PHILADELPHIA – Prince Fielder hit his 30th home run, Randy Wolf was sharp against his former team and the Brewers beat the Phillies to snap a fivegame losing streak.

BALTIMORE – Corey Patterson homered and had three RBIs, and the Baltimore Orioles withstood four home runs by the Tampa Bay Rays in an 8-7 win.

ROCKIES 4, PADRES 2

ROYALS 2, TIGERS 1

SAN DIEGO – The NL West-leading San Diego Padres lost their 10th straight game, with Melvin Mora hitting a goahead single that sent the Colorado Rockies to a 4-2 win Sunday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Alex Gordon homered and Kyle Davies beat Detroit for the first time in six home starts, leading Kansas City past the Tigers.

ORIOLES 8, RAYS 7

WHITE SOX 7, RED SOX 5 NATIONALS 8, PIRATES 1 PITTSBURGH – Ryan Zimmerman drove in four runs, Adam Dunn hom-

BOSTON – Gordon Beckham’s basesloaded walk with two outs pushed Chicago ahead in a four-run ninth inning.

U.S. faces Angola today in round of 16 ISTANBUL (AP) – Those predicting that the United States will fall short of a world championship are focusing on the back of the jerseys.

They no longer include names such as BRYANT or JAMES. Those expecting the Americans to win anyway do so because of what’s still on the front. “I think there is a certain element that does persist that because we have USA on our jersey, that’s good enough,� USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said. “And as the world competition has improved, it gets very challenging. Personally, I’d rather be hunted like that than the opposite.�

Colangelo and coach Mike Krzyzewski say they are satisfied with what they’ve seen from the undefeated Americans, who face Angola in an elimination game today in the round of 16.

3D

The Americans blew out their first two opponents, then needed a miss at the buzzer by Brazil’s Lean-

dro Barbosa to eke out a 70-68 victory. They closed group play with easy wins over Iran and Tunisia.

Day shows way in Deutsche THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORTON, Mass. – Jason Day capped off an exciting day with a routine birdie to take the lead Sunday in the Deutsche Bank Championship, setting up a Labor Day finish with all sorts of possibilities.

Day watched a three-shot lead evaporate in two holes, only to get it back on the par-5 18th with a shot just off the back of the green, leaving him a simple two-putt for birdie and a 5-under 66. He had a one-shot lead over Brandt Snedeker, who made a mess of the 18th until chipping in for par and a 67.

Just like so many other times at this tournament, the Deutsche Bank Championship could be up for grabs. And so could the No. 1 ranking.

Tiger Woods could only manage one birdie over the last 11 holes and shot a 2-under 69, leaving him tied for 23rd and 10 shots out of the lead. That set the stage for Phil Mickelson or Steve Stricker to end his five-year run atop the world ranking.

Stricker is closer to the lead. Mickelson has better odds.

Both of them might have a tough time catching up to Day, the 22-year-old Australian who won the Byron Nelson Championship in May and is starting to play his best golf during the FedEx Cup playoffs.

He was at 17-under 196, matching the 54-hole record at the TPC Boston set by Mike Weir two years ago.

Luke Donald birdied the last hole for a 66 and was two shots behind. Defending champion Stricker played his third straight round without a bogey for a 67 and was at 13 under with Charley Hoffman (69).

Mickelson (67) was in a group at 12 under.

SCHULZ CAPTURES FIRST TEE OPEN PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Ted Schulz won the First Tee Open for his first Champions Tour title, holing a 12-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole at Pebble Beach en route to a 2-under 70 and a one-stroke victory over Tom Pernice Jr. The 50-year-old Schulz — in his 12th start on the 50-and-over tour – finished at 14-under 202. It was his first victory since winning the 1991 Nissan Open for the second of his two PGA Tour titles.

JIMENEZ BAGS EUROPEAN MASTERS CRANS-SUR-SIERRE, Switzerland – Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez won the European Masters for his third victory of the year, shooting a 4-under 67 to beat Italy’s Edoardo Molinari by three strokes.

GTCC outlasts DCCC for five-game volleyball triumph ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

AP

North Carolina wide receiver Erik Highsmith (right) grabs a touchdown pass against LSU safety Brandon Taylor in the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s game at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The 21st-ranked Tigers held off the 18th-rated Tar Heels for a 30-24 victory. UNC rallied from a 30-10 deficit and had a chance to win in the closing seconds, but a pair of passes fell incomplete in the end zone.

Shorthanded Tar Heels nearly deliver ATLANTA (AP) – With the NCAA lurking around Chapel Hill and some of its best players sitting in the stands, North Carolina found itself in a most improbable position.

The 6-yard line with a few seconds on the clock, a touchdown and an extra point away from actually winning the game.

T.J. Yates took one shot at the end zone, the ball slipping through the hands of Zack Pianalto. Then one last throw to the same guy. Same result.

No. 21 LSU held on for a 30-24 victory Saturday night, but the 18thranked Tar Heels almost pulled it out after going down by 20 at halftime. There may be no such thing as a moral victory, but this was about as close as you can get.

Patrick Peterson had 257 yards – including an 87-yard touchdown – on kickoff and punt returns, leading LSU (1-0) to a 30-10 lead at the break. Not surprising, given the Tar Heels were missing 13 key play-

AMID NCAA PROBE, BLAKE STEPS DOWN AT UNC

---

CHAPEL HILL (AP) – John Blake has resigned his position on North Carolina’s football staff, effective immediately, school officials said Sunday night.

Blake, who was in his fourth season working with Butch Davis, said in a statement issued by the school that he stepped down because “my presence has become a distraction” to the university. “Consequently, I have determined that it is in the best interests of my family, the university community at large, and the football program for me to step down from my position as associate head football coach,” Blake said. ers because of NCAA investigations over relationships with agents and possible academic violations.

But North Carolina made a game of it against all odds, scoring two second-half touchdowns, then getting two shots at the win after recovering an onside kick and a fumble. Yates threw for the last of his career-high 412 yards to reach the LSU 6, with enough time to get off a couple of passes. He went to Pianalto at the back of the end zone. The

throw was on the hands but a little behind the senior tight end, who couldn’t hold on with a defender bearing down on him.

Two seconds remained, time for one more snap. Yates rolled to his right and spotted Pianalto again, this time lurking right at the goal line. The throw was low and again it slipped through his hands.

Yates pleaded for an interference call, but the officials simply trotted off the field.

Renfree shines in first Duke start DURHAM (AP) – First-time starter Sean Renfree played with the poise of a veteran, and put up the numbers to match. It was enough to earn high praise from someone who knows plenty about quarterbacks.

Duke opened its season by beating Elon 41-27 on Saturday night behind 350 yards passing and two touchdowns from Renfree.

“I thought his reads and his management of the game was almost perfect,” said Duke coach David Cutcliffe, the college mentor to eventual Super Bowl MVPs Peyton and Eli Manning.

It’s way too early to compare Renfree to either of them yet, of course, but there’s no question this was

an encouraging start to Renfree’s reign as the starter.

He completed 13 of his first 14 passes, including 10 in a row, with touchdown throws of 8 and 7 yards on consecutive drives for the Blue Devils. He finished 31 of 39 while his favorite target, Conner Vernon, caught 10 passes for a career-high 129 yards.

Desmond Scott rushed 34 yards for a touchdown and freshman Josh Snead added a short scoring run late for Duke, which rolled up 542 total yards.

Scott Riddle was 22 of 42 for 281 yards and a touchdown and an 11-yard TD run. Brandon Newsome had a 5-yard scoring run for Elon, which is 0-3 all-time against Football Bowl Subdivision teams.

No. 15 Duke women down HPU, 5-0 SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

DURHAM – The High Point University women’s soccer team fell to 15th-ranked Duke 5-0 on Sunday evening.

Junior goalkeeper Andrea Ritchie made a career-high 11 saves for the Panthers in the loss.

The Blue Devils jumped out to a three-goal lead in the first half with

tallies by Natasha Anasi, Laura Weinberg and Gretchen Miller.

Duke held a 14-1 edge in shots and a 4-0 advantage in corner kicks in the first 45 minutes. Ritchie made six first-half saves to limit the Duke attack.

In the second half, the Blue Devils added goals from Kaitlyn Kerr and Kim DeCesare. Ritchie made five second-half saves before giv-

ing way to freshman Jesse May, who made two saves in the final 17 minutes. Duke held a 30-4 edge in shots in the game with freshman Becca Hemby registering HPU’s only shot on goal.

The Panthers return to action on Friday in Columbus, S.C., to play in the Carolina Cup. HPU will play Furman at 5 p.m. Friday and Clemson at noon on Sept. 12.

Adams, Greensboro can Guilford SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – Quarterback Seth Adams ran for two second-half scores in Greensboro College’s 1715 win over Guilford College in the 14th annual Gate City Soup Bowl late Saturday night.

The Pride (1-0) evened the series between Greensboro’s two NCAA Division III football teams at seven wins apiece with its second straight victory.

On third and goal, Adams snuck the ball across from one yard out, capping a 10-play, 99-yard drive that gave Greensboro a 9-8 thirdquarter lead. The Pride’s game

Most Valuable Player also scored on the Pride’s next possession on a seven-yard keeper that opened a 15-8 edge. Two penalties moved the point-after-attempt to the Quakers’ 23-yard line, but Adams hooked up with Antwan Thorpe for the conversion that ultimately provided the game-winning points.

Guilford scored on its opening drive of the fourth quarter on a 27yard end-around run by wideout and Trinity High School product Ben King, the sophomore’s second score of the day. He also tallied the game’s first touchdown on an 11-yard pass from Luke Vandall and earned Guilford’s game MVP honor.

Thorpe finished with 172 all-purpose yards, including 77 receiving yards on a team-high five catches.

King made a game- and careerhigh six catches for 53 yards and a touchdown in his first Guilford game. Vandall completed 10-of-17 passes for 87 yards and a score in his first college start. Sophomore De’Shawn Lindsey made a gamehigh 11 tackles for Guilford.

The annual canned-goods drive that accompanies the game yielded 7,101 non-perishable food items for the benefit of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina and the Greensboro Urban Ministry.

JAMESTOWN – Guilford Technical Community College edged Davidson County Community College in five games on Sunday afternoon.

The Titans posted a

Edwards tops Pro Stock qualifying CLERMONT, Ind. (AP) – Defending Pro Stock season champion Mike Edwards raced to the No. 1 qualifying position Sunday in the NHRA’s playoff-opening the U.S. Nationals with a track-record time of 6.579 seconds at 209.26 mph.

Edwards topped qualifying for the 12th time this season and 34th overall. Larry Dixon, Matt Hagan and Andrew Hines also led their divisions in the first of six races in the Countdown to the Championship playoffs.

In Top Fuel, Dixon’s track record time of 3.776 at 324.36 from Saturday stood as the quickest of the weekend, giving the three-time Indy winner his sixth No. 1 effort of the season, 46th of his career and third at the event.

Hagan claimed his third top qualifying position of the season and fifth of his career with a track-record time of 4.039 at 299.86 in a Dodge Charger.

Hines led all five Pro Stock Motorcycle qualifying sessions on his Harley-Davidson.

CASTRONEVES STRETCHES FUEL AT SPARTA

---

SPARTA, Ky. (AP) – Helio Castroneves crossed the finish line in front.

This time it counted.

The IndyCar star won the Indy 300 at Kentucky Speedway late Saturday night, squeezing the last 53 laps out of one tank of fuel and then taking advantage when the leaders were forced to make last-second pit stops to fill up.

It was the second victory of the season for Castroneves, at least officially.

Unofficially, he considers it his third. He led the field to the wire at Edmonton in July, but was dropped back to 10th after officials penalized him for blocking with a couple of laps to go.

Castroneves was fined $60,000 and placed on probation.

Castroneves had more than enough to ease past pole-sitter Ed Carpenter, who matched a careerbest second place finish. Dan Wheldon was third, followed by Tony Kannan and Dario Franchitti.

Points leader Will Power led 83 laps but slipped to eighth after a late-race slip. The bobble allowed Franchitti to draw within 17 points with two races remaining. The series races in Japan on Sept. 19.

Danica Patrick was ninth. Defending race champion Ryan Briscoe, who edged Carpenter by 0.0162 seconds last year, finished 24th after getting collected in a three-car pileup with Vitor Meira and Simona de Silvestro.

Brown ends drought at Langley SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HAMPTON, Va. – Tim Brown ended a nearly two-year absence from Victory Lane in dominating fashion Saturday night in the Visit Hampton 150 at Langley Speedway.

It was Brown’s sixth career NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour victory and first since he took the checkered flag at Caraway Speedway on Sept. 27, 2008.

Civali won the Coors Light Pole Award earlier in the day and led a race-high 118 points before finishing second.

He was able to take over the points lead by eight over Andy Seuss, who finished fifth. L.W. Miller, who entered the race with the points lead, finished eighth and dropped to third – 19 points behind Civali.

Burt Myers and Zach Brewer finished third and fourth, respectively.

After Seuss, Jason Myers finished sixth, followed by Gene Pack, Miller, Frank Fleming and Brandon Hire.

The Visit Hampton 150 will air on VERSUS on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

The NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour will run its second-tolast race of the season at Tri-County Motor Speedway on Saturday, Sept. 25.

Official: Research tax credits gain president’s favor WASHINGTON (AP) – Seeking ways to spur economic growth ahead of the November elections, President Barack Obama will ask Congress to increase and permanently extend research and development tax credits for businesses, a White House official said Sunday.

Obama will outline the $100 billion proposal during a speech on the econ-

omy Wednesday in Cleveland, the official said. The announcement is expected to be the first in a series of new measures Obama will propose this fall as the administration looks to jump-start an economy that the president himself has said isn’t growing fast enough.

In addition to making the research credits permanent, Obama will also

ask Congress to extend one of the credit options available to businesses from 14 to 17 percent, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the proposal has not been formally announced.

Obama has proposed making the research and development tax credit permanent before, as part of the budget he submitted

to Congress earlier this year.

“That’s where U.S. competitiveness lies in hightechnology industries,” Laura Tyson, a member of Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, said Sunday on “Face the Nation” on CBS. “I don’t think this is something that has ... as immediate a job impact as, say, movement on the

current tax credits for the unemployed or extending a payroll tax holiday of some sort. But I think it’s very important in terms of job creation over the longer term,” Tyson said.

While the idea is popular in Congress, coming up with offsetting tax increases or spending cuts has been a stumbling block.

Obama will ask lawmakers to close corporate tax

breaks for multinational corporations and oil and gas companies.

Congress has previously passed research tax credits on a temporary basis. The credits expired last year and a proposal for renewal is pending in the Senate.

The proposal for research and development tax credits was first reported by The New York Times.

Haves vs. have-nots Economists: New jobs likely to benefit highest- and lowest-skilled workers

BY CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP BUSINESS WRITER

AP

Job seekers supply copies of their resumes at a career fair in Rolling Meadows, Ill. Economists say when companies start hiring again, they will fill either high-paying, highly skilled fields or low-paying service jobs.

Whenever companies start hiring freely again, job-seekers with specialized skills and education will have plenty of good opportunities. Others will face a choice: Take a job with low pay – or none at all.

Job creation will likely remain weak for months or even years. But once employers do step up hiring, some economists expect job openings to fall mainly into two categories of roughly equal numbers: professional fields with higher pay – lawyers, research scientists and software engineers – and lower-skill and lower-paying jobs, like home health care aides and store clerks.

And those in between?

Their outlook is bleaker.

Economists foresee fewer moderately paid factory supervisors, postal workers and office administrators.

On Friday, the government said the August unemployment rate ticked up to 9.6 percent. Even when the job market picks up, many people will be left behind. The threat stems, in part, from the economy’s continuing shift from one driven by manufacturing to one fueled by service industries.

Pay for future servicesector jobs will tend to vary

from very high to very low.

At the same time, the number of middle-income service-sector jobs will shrink, according to government projections.

The service sector’s growth could also magnify the nation’s income inequality.

“There will be jobs,” says Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist. “The big question is what they are going to pay, and what kind of lives they will allow people to lead? This will be a big issue for how broad a middle class we are going to have.”

On one point there’s broad agreement: Of 8 million-plus jobs lost to the recession many, perhaps most, aren’t coming back.

“Our occupational structure is really becoming bifurcated,” says Richard Florida, a professor at University of Toronto. “We’re becoming more of a divided nation by the work we do.”

By 2018, the government forecasts a net total of 15.3 million new jobs. Nearly all the new jobs will be in the service sector, the Labor Department says.

“The big fear is the country is simply not preparing workers for the kind of skills that the country is going to need,” says Gautam Godhwani, CEO of SimplyHired.com, which tracks job listings.

Credit comes easy for corporate borrowers NEW YORK (AP) – With rising fears of a prolonged recession and stomachchurning moves in the stock market, corporate bond markets have performed so well this year they look like they’re part of a parallel universe.

Banks are reluctant to lend, but large corporations with the weakest credit ratings have had little trouble finding investors happy to hand over their cash.

Companies sold $24.6 billion in junk bonds in August, the eighthbest month ever for sales, according to Thomson Reuters data.

Among those feeding in the market: Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Rite Aid Corp. and acquisitive power giant NRG Energy Inc. So how is it that companies with bad credit find it so easy to borrow in this economy?

DILBERT

“A lot of that has to do with living in a world where investments pay less than 1 percent,” said Diane Vazza, head of fixed income research at rating agency Standard & Poor’s.

The Federal Reserve’s near-zero interest rate target means sticking cash in savings accounts or money market funds will yield next to nothing. Stocks are increasingly volatile.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 4.7 percent in August, though it’s up 3.8 percent so far this month.

Given the alternatives, many investors have piled into corporate bonds, which offer yields ranging from 3 percent to 8 percent and, more importantly, the promise of getting your money back.

Investors have been yanking money out of stock funds and put-

ting them in bond funds for much of the year. But the trend is intensifying. In the week ended August 25, investors took $4.6 billion out of stock funds and dropped $5.96 billion into bond funds.

“I think people are saying, ‘The economy is sluggish; How are stocks going to go up?’” said Martin Fridson, global credit strategist at BNP Paribas. “And you have to wonder how are (companies) going to increase earnings? They’ve done all the cutting they can.”

Bond investors, by contrast, don’t have to worry about earnings. They just need corporate borrowers to pull in enough cash to cover their interest payments. For bond fund managers, the quickest and cheapest way to put the flood of cash to work is to buy newly issued debt.

Roanoke area draws biotech businesses ROANOKE, Va. (AP) – A new report says the biomedical and biotechnical sectors are booming the Roanoke area.

Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission says employment in those sectors rose nearly

8.9 percent from 2006 to 2009. Total employment in the region dropped 5 percent over the same period.

John Hull, the commission’s regional economic development manager, tells the Roanoke Times

in Sunday’s edition that the area is growing because of unique developments that aren’t occurring in other areas.

The report also ties the job growth to the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute.

light show is over in all but southern states.

Helen Mester of South Bend, Ind., is one of about 700 volunteers who entered observations this summer of firefly numbers, the color of their lights and flash patterns into the online database maintained by Firefly Watch, which is sponsored by the Boston Museum of Science.

The 54-year-old retiree has counted fireflies for three years for the program from her living room window or her deck, watching the lights that lead males to females for mating.

She’s now adept at identifying a common Midwestern firefly often called the Big Dipper firefly by the upside down “J” light trail its males make as they flash by. She then watches for their female love interests to reply with two blinks from their perch on shrubs or trees.

“That’s the female saying, ‘OK, here I am – come over here.’ You can see the hook and then a couple of flashes. They’re kind of a lime green,” Mester said.
