High Point post office joins the list of potential closings
State Rep. Hugh Holliman, D-Davidson, was appointed cochairman of the State Health Plan Blue Ribbon Task Force. The task force is responsible for studying and comparing coverage and costs of the plan to other state health plans in the region and address issues of cost, quality and access to health care coverage under the State Health Plan.

HIGH POINT – A High Point post office has been placed on a list of potential closings and consolidations by the United States Postal Service. The Furnitureland Office at 913 W. Fairfield Road in High Point is under going a “feasibility study,” which will determine if it should remain in operation, according to Carl Walton, a public relations spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service. The office joins a list of 413 locations in the country and 12 locations in the state that could be closed. The list includes two more offices in the Triad at the Plaza Station at 1852 Banking St. in Greensboro and the Center City Office at 200 Town Run Lane in Winston-Salem. Walton said the postal service was considering the closings due to a financial deficit. “In light of the fact that there are fewer people going to post offices to use our service, we looked at every office in our district to see where there was a decline in retail,” he said. “In efforts to find a way to reduce costs, we’re looking to see if it’s feasible for us to close these locations, but nothing is imminent right now.”

The Furnitureland Post Office at 913 W. Fairfield Road in High Point is undergoing a feasibility study, which will determine if the location should remain in operation. More than $6 billion in expenses have been cut this year by trimming working hours, adjusting carrier routes and implementing various other changes, according to a news release issued by the postal service. The consideration process will be thorough, Walton said, and it will take a few months for the final decision to be made. “The main thing we have to look at is our customers being served by
these offices and if they can still be served in the same way,” he said. “Are they in close enough proximity to be served by other areas? That’s our main concern.” Because the postal service does not lay off employees, Walton said workers at the High Point office would be relocated if the location was closed. He said further announcements would be made in October as to

Loan pool would provide incentives for Core City investors BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The City Council will be asked this week to OK an endeavor aimed at sparking development in certain areas. A public hearing is slated for Tuesday on a proposed small business loan pool for Core City investors. If council members sign off on the idea, the city will seek to establish a loan pool made up of federal funds and private money from banks that would be available to small businesses for start-up or expansion projects in Core City areas. “The focus is on creating or retaining jobs, and to do that, you’ve got to have investment,” said Mike McNair,
director of community development and housing for the city. “The idea is that when these small businesses hire people, it will have a spillover effect which helps bring the whole neighborhood back.” The plan is the latest effort to spur development in the Core City, an 11square-mile area comprised of eight districts targeted for revitalization. Under the proposal, the loan pool could total up to $9.7 million, about $3.9 million of which the city would seek to borrow from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. McNair said he hopes four or five banks will issue loans for the pool. A committee of city officials and lenders would determine eligibility for the loans, which McNair estimated
would range from $50,000 to $300,000 each. The plan is for 40 percent of each loan to be comprised of HUD funds, with the rest coming from the banks’ portion of the loan pool. The program would also carry job creation/retention requirements for borrowers. At a minimum, one fulltime job would have to be created or retained for each $50,000 loaned from the pool. The goal is for a majority of the jobs to be made available to low and moderate-income city residents. McNair said he’s seen examples of the program work in cities like Fayetteville, where the loan pool attracted businesses such as barbershops, law offices and restaurants.

The historic and beloved Little Brown Jug on Market Street is shown in downtown Smithfield on Aug. 26. The construction of a proposed new bridge adjacent to the watering hole could force the business to close.
New bridge over river puts a homey N.C. bar at risk
SMITHFIELD (AP) – The bridge over the Neuse River in downtown Smithfield helps tie the community together, connecting downtown with points west. But as the state Department of Transportation reveals plans to replace the aging structure, the fate of the bridge has divided the community over issues of time, traffic and beer. The News and Observer of Raleigh reported that depending on how it’s built, the new bridge could require the destruction of the Little Brown Jug, a beloved 800square-foot joint once run by Ava Gardner’s brother. If the bar stays, downtown merchants are afraid a construction detour would drive away customers. Although crowds aren’t publicly clamoring for the bar to close, the choices provided so far have left townspeople frustrated. “It’s really pitting neighbor against neighbor,” said Chris Johnson, executive director of the Downtown Smithfield Development Corp. “You’re talking about a construction area that is basically the lifeblood of the community.”
DOT has presented two options: tear down the four-lane bridge all at once and divert traffic around downtown, or build the bridge piecemeal, leaving two lanes open during construction.
‘It’s really pitting neighbor against neighbor.’ Chris Johnson Downtown Smithfield Development Corp. The first idea would leave the bar standing, to the detriment of downtown merchants who depend on traffic flow. The second would let the traffic through, but would likely mean the end of the bar. The Jug, perched on a bluff just above the river, is the kind of place where a bartender twists the top off a Natural Light before the customer makes it to his stool. Regulars boast the beer is the coldest in Johnston County, and the jukebox booms old country hits as well as modern rock, a reflection of the diverse age of its clientele. Old beer
cans, including a camouflage can based on the “M-A-S-H” TV show, decorate the wall behind the bar. In his 50 years of visiting the Little Brown Jug, David Lee has experienced his share of changes. Bar owners have come and gone, and tastes have shifted, too: when he was a kid, there was no limecactus beer. But through the years, the Jug has always been a relaxed, homey place, and that atmosphere began with the original barkeep. “Jack Gardner wouldn’t put up with any foolishness,” said Lee, 68, sipping on one of those fruit-infused beverages. Foolishness, though, is exactly what bar patrons think about the possibility of the Jug’s demise. Although a title search on the bar puts a structure in its spot in 1919, owner Jeanette Schultz doesn’t believe that building is still standing. Later designed as a Pure Oil gas station, the Jug today resembles an English cottage. Because of its extensive exterior renovations, the Jug wouldn’t qualify for the National Register of Historic Places.
Malat was appointed director in February 2007 after serving for a year as interim director, according to a news release. Hired in 1989 as exhibits curator, Malat had been instrumental in development and design of exhibits for the renovated and enlarged aquarium, which opened in May 2000.

eration 4-H member, and her mother also went to school on a 4-H scholarship. Draelos’ sons, Mark, 19, and Matthew, 17, long have participated in 4-H, and the three started a club for children in the Boys and Girls Club. The club ended because children in the impoverished neighborhoods could not afford fees, but Draelos said now that her sons are in college and she has more time, she may try to form another club. Draelos attributes her sons’ success partially to their involvement in 4-H. Mark is an electrical engineering major attending N.C. State University on a Parks Scholarship. Matthew attends The Early College at Guilford and is interested in chemistry. “Both my boys have been driven by 4-H into the sciences,” she said. “I think 4-H teaches you a lot of life skills and brings tremendous opportunities for young people to meet other young people from all over the United States and inspire each other. “It provides a lot of very healthy after-school activities that encourage young people to use their time wisely. 4-H has huge opportunities for leadership. I saw all those things with my own kids. “Even now, 4-H is my life, and I’ve been trying to help out nationally.”

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. (AP) – Rangers in Grand Canyon National Park are searching the Grandview-Hance area for a North Carolina man missing for at least two days. The National Park Service says it received word Saturday that a man reported missing to the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office might be in the national park. Sheriff’s officials re-
ceived the initial report Friday evening and determined 43-year-old Andrew Brunelli might be hiking in the Grand Canyon. Rangers searching parking areas near major trailheads subsequently found a car that had been rented to Brunelli. Aerial and ground searchers were under way Sunday. Park officials say they have no itinerary for Brunelli’s visit to the park.

RALEIGH – Sunday was the last day to visit the N.C. Museum of Art before it closed today for about seven months. That’s how long it will take art handlers to move more than 750 pieces of art into a new, 127,000-square-foot expansion that will house a permanent gallery of the state’s collection. The new building is scheduled to open in mid-April. “It’s a huge transition that is really exciting,” said Lori Hume, a Raleigh nurse who volunteers at the museum. “This is one of the few state-funded museums, and we’ll be able to see a lot more art.” Museum employees say much of the state’s artwork that has been in storage due to lack of space will be on display in the new building. Much of the
art that is being moved will be treated, cleaned or reframed before April. The old building will be renovated and used for temporary exhibits, lectures and concerts. The museum park will remain open for outdoor art, and concert and film series. The museum’s Blue Ridge Restaurant also will close until April. It will be relocated near the entrance of the new facility. “I’ve eaten here for three straight weekends,” said K.L. Thigpen, an N.C. State University student. “I was sad when I heard it was closing.” Dozens of people who frequent the museum, and many who don’t, made one last stop Saturday at the gift shop. “I’ll miss it. That’s why I came again before it closed,” said Cynthia Tate, a retired teacher. “But what they’re doing is exciting. It’s an incredible way to learn a lot about art and history.”

Let’s get some heart, soul back in downtown
Having returned from vacation last week, I looked at High Point and the surrounding area with new eyes. I felt a warmth and vibrance in Thomasville, even though the “Big Chair” doesn’t stand for what it used to (much like the “World’s Biggest Bureau.”) Driving through the Chair City on N.C. 109 to N.C. 62, I saw a club with live music, a farmer’s market, people walking around. In downtown High Point, the only people were at a bank, a utility company, the post office or jail. There’s a couple of good restaurants in downtown High Point, but I didn’t see anyone walking to or from them, even though it was lunch hour. High Point doesn’t have a heart or soul downtown – we don’t even have a “downtown.” All bets have been on the furniture market, but most of those bets were placed when we made furniture in High Point. Then the market grew and the manufacturing jobs dried up. That was the big draw for the market – it was made here and our pride showed. Now, all the baskets are loaded for one market and it’s going to gradually go away. What will we do then? If you want to give incentives to companies coming to the area, I think we should give the incentives to locals to open a jazz club on Washington Drive, a large farmer’s market at Market Square and specialty shops that reflect who we are now. Don’t tear up the countryside for businesses catering to the airport. Look what Forsyth did for Dell and see how many empty warehouse and business parks line Union Cross Road. Let’s get some heart and soul into our city and the people will come. DEBY SIMMERSON High Point
Allowing gay marriage reinforces commitment
How sad that Carlton Boyles does not support marriage equality for gay Americans (Your View, Aug. 25, “Support marriage amendment to our U.S. Constitution”). The same-gender marriage ban represents hatred, injustice and persecution. One day the world will look back with shame at how gays were barred from marriage just as we now view the past ban on interracial marriage. Boyles thinks that desecrating

and your neighbor as yourself (human mankind). A certain man traveled one city to another (tax payer) , and was robbed of his clothing, beaten and left for dead (Democrats and Republicans). A corrupt priest (religious), and Levite (government), likewise left him to die. A “good” Samaritan (neighbor) saw him, had compassion, bandaged his wound (E.M.T.), placed him on an animal (Ford F-150) took him to the innkeeper (Holiday Inn) and paid for his room. We do not need our country back; we need to let God back in our country. JAMES R. RICKS JR. Trinity
YOUR VIEW

How about efforts to limit the Constitution with prejudice and discrimination will “return us to being a people that God will honor.” Religion should promote love and justice, not intolerance, hatred and oppression. Imagine a realm of God where people of all sexual orientations love and care for each other. Imagine God’s delight to see us all living harmoniously together as the body of Christ. Social conservatives who perceive gay people as sexually promiscuous and a threat to society should be delighted that gay people want commitment, monogamy and a public declaration of their love. Allowing gays to marry rather than forcing them to “live in sin” actually reinforces the importance of commitment and would strengthen the institution of marriage. The world would be a healthier and happier place for all if love, sex and marriage went together. Love between same-gender couples is no different than love between heterosexuals and deserves the same respect. I invite those who oppose marriage equality to get to know me and my partner of 35 years. Then look us in the eye and tell us that we are less deserving of rights and protections than other Americans. There is no greater personal freedom than the right to marry the person one loves. Barring gays from marriage is cruel and unfair. It is time for our country to live up to its highest ideals of liberty and equality under the law. CRIS F. ELKINS Greensboro
Pay taxes and tithe for beneficial health care The health care issues have put fear and distrust in people because of the lack of knowledge in “Jesus the Christ.” God so loved the world (people) that He sent Jesus, that whosoever believes in Jesus, should not perish (lack any good thing) but have life with abundance, accounting for “truth.” Samaritans are people of mixed races (typically poor) who desired the same health care plan that the Jews (customarily rich) received, but were denied. Philip, an apostle, deacon, evangelist, preached Christ (Christianity) to the Samaritans, Greeks, Ethiopians and Nathanael (apostle) to receive and produce drafting of other races, nationalities, make, female, illegal immigrants, aliens, etc. Americans, Christians, must pay “taxes” and “tithe” for maximum beneficial health care. People are not trying to come to America because it is the greatest nation of power through wealth, military might or the constitutional government of man, but for its “outward appearance” of moral justice, liberty, freedom, without sacrifice, to serve obediently the “true” and “living God” who created the one for all, and all for the one, “Jesus the Christ.” The Good Samaritan (Jesus Christ), commands the law of God, love God with all your heart, (spirit of man) your soul (desire of man), your strength (power of man), your mind (will of man),
medical mishaps? If the medical establishment is so concerned that litigation lawsuits are taking uncontrolled monetary advantage of them for their medical mishaps or derelict professional skills, should one expect a concentrated effort to reduce the annual hospital fatality rate that hovers around 190,000 patients? Why is it that a majority of malpractice claims are settled out of court? As we proclaim that we have the best health care providers and medical system in the industrialized world, a system that lacks the effort to perform good preventive medicine, but is notably the most expensive with the most highly compensated professionals on the planet, and all of this without a universal health care system. Why do the medical community, private insurance providers, and the Republicans accept and defend the status quo of the present health care system that is bankrupting the country? Why, it is the dollar ($$) symbol that is left out of the Hippocratic Oath. WILLIAM T. “NICK” SMITH Wilson

So you think you can hide? Think again
ack in May, I flew to Los Angeles. My cell phone did not. I left it in the car, a fact I only discovered as I was lining up at security. Had I found myself standing there in my underdrawers, I don’t think I’d have felt more naked. There was this panicky sense of isolation, this disconcerting feeling of being cut off. Whenever I confessed my plight, I got looks of stark pity like you’d give someone with a terminal disease. It was a very long five days. So I read with great interest an article in the September issue of Wired magazine. “Gone” by Evan Ratliff is about people who, for various reasons, tried to go off the grid, to disappear without a trace. Ratliff’s piece suggests that, in a world where we are ever more interconnected, where your whereabouts can be traced by everything from the GPS in your cellphone to the magnetic stripe on your grocery card, to the camera mounted over the ATM, a world where you can be ratted out by your e-mail account, your favorite e-merchant, your social networking site, your subway
card or the sticker on your car that lets you zip through the toll plaza, it has become nearly impossible to simply vanish. To test the thesis, Wired has OPINION embarked on an inspired stunt. Ratliff Leonard himself disappeared Pitts on Aug. 15. He’s try■■■ ing to stay lost for 30 days. If some reader, using clues provided by Wired, can find him within that time, he or she wins $5,000. Me, I’m rooting for the writer, not the readers. That’s not just professional solidarity speaking. Rather, it’s a desire to know that what he seeks to do can still be done, that, short of moving into a cave and living off the land, it is still possible to disconnect from the world. Those of us of a certain age will remember how “The Fugitive,” Dr. Richard Kimble, would arrive in some town seeking menial work to sustain him in his search for the one-armed man. He’d adopt a fake name and live in safe, albeit paranoid, anonymity for
weeks until some malicious snoop or suspicious sheriff happened upon his wanted poster. Even when arrested and fingerprinted, it would be long hours before he could be positively ID’d, giving him time to make his escape. All of which feels as primitive as kerosene lamps. Kimble wouldn’t last a week in 2009. If they can’t find you these days, you’re either a genius, a hermit or they aren’t looking very hard. The world is so much with us now, an intrusive presence anonymity cannot abide. Our predilections are catalogued, our travel monitored, our faces watched, our purchases logged. In exchange for convenience, we lose the ability to simply pull the plug and be. Worse, if my experience with the cell phone is any indication (I suspect it is) we have been re-socialized in such a way that pulling the plug and simply being has come to feel distinctly unnatural. Cellphones have been ubiquitous for ... what? Ten years? We’ve been living online maybe five years more. In an amazingly short time, then, technology has utterly rewired our sense of what it

means to be in touch. Or am I the only one who feels as if he’s in a sensory deprivation tank when he’s trapped somewhere without Net access? Am I the only one who finds it hard to remember the days when you’d follow a road just to see where it went and nobody knew where you were, nobody could reach you and that was fine? I’d love to be able to tell you I spent those cell-less days rediscovering the joys of disconnection and that when I got it back, I found I no longer needed the thing quite as much. But that would be a lie. When I got it back, my hands fairly trembled in relief. Obviously, I am a lost cause. So yes, I am rooting for the writer. Assuming – and hoping – he hasn’t been busted by the time you read this, I leave him the same sage advice Jenny once gave Forrest. Run, Evan, run!

Documents on UK-Libyan ties outrage IRA victims
LONDON – Britain made no demands that Libya offer compensation for Britons killed by Libyan explosives supplied to the Irish Republican Army for fear it could jeopardize ties with Tripoli, according to new documents released Sunday. The revelation prompted accusations that Britain had acted to protect energy deals, and added to questions about whether trade ties influenced last month’s decision to release Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi.

Thousands of civilians flee battles in northwest Pakistan PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) – Thousands of civilians have fled Pakistan’s northwest Khyber tribal region where the latest military offensive killed 33 more suspected militants Sunday. Pakistan is under intense U.S. pressure to crack down on insurgents along its border with Afghanistan, especially the lawless
tribal belt where al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is suspected to be hiding. The U.S. believes militants use Pakistan’s tribal areas as safe havens from which to plan attacks on Western troops across the frontier in Afghanistan. Khyber is of particular concern because militants frequently attack trucks along the famed Khyber Pass.

SANTIAGO, Chile – Chilean police say a young man distraught over a breakup with his girlfriend hanged himself while she watched over a Web camera. Deputy inspector Carlos Court says 26-year-old Simon Venegas was chatting with his former girlfriend when he pointed his camera at a tree in a courtyard of his house. Court says Venegas hung a rope over a branch and told his ex, “Watch what I’m going to do� and “I love you, take care,� before hanging himself.

Bottom line on public insurance plan blurry
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration’s bottom line on a government health insurance option blurred Sunday as White House officials stressed support but stopped of short of calling it a must-have part of an overhaul. As President Barack Obama prepares for a Wednesday night speech, no other issue is so highly charged. White House political adviser David Axelrod said Obama is “not walking away” from a public plan. But asked if the president would veto a bill that came to him without the option, Axelrod declined to answer.

Entree Vous at 5870 Samet Drive, Suite 101, will close on Sept. 22 after business slowed during the summer months, according to manager Lori Keiper. The restaurant, which opened in 2007, allows customers to make fine dinner entrees in its kitchen with trained chefs and take them home to prepare or freeze. The goal of the business was to save time for busy families who wanted quality dinner meals but didn’t have the time to shop for and prepare the ingredients, said owner Joey Olivier. Olivier said the business has always performed well during the holidays, but traffic steadily decreased this summer as consumers cut back on food costs in general. “We are priced somewhere between grocery stores and restaurants,” Olivier said. “If folks are cutting out going out to eat, we could be an alternative. But we are finding that restaurants have their own creative deals.” He said the business is for sale and has rights to operate independently. “With the economy where it is and looking like it’s going to spend some time there, we decided that it is just more stress than we can manage,” Olivier said about he and his wife, Sherry, coowner of the business.

KANNAPOLIS – Witnesses and police say a 28-year-old driver intentionally hit and killed another man Saturday morning and told authorities he did it because he was tired of people being in the road. Kannapolis police arrested Berry Cook Jr., 28, and charged him with attempted murder, saying he used his 15-year-old Oldsmobile to try to kill pedestrian Jimmy Douglas Mauldin, 51. Cook was under a $2 million bond in Cabarrus County jail. As of Sunday afternoon, the charge against Cook was still attempted murder, according to a
jail official. The case will be reviewed by the district attorney’s office, officials said. The victim, who was standing across the

Police have not released an official statement about the homicide or offered any potential motive. But the two did not appear to know each other, said Lt. Ken Jackson of the Kannapolis police force. Investigators told the Observer’s news partner WCNC that the driver said he intentionally hit Mauldin because he was tired of seeing people stand in the road. Mauldin was also standing well off the side of the road, according to investigators. Jackson, who was at the scene Saturday morning, said he has never heard of a stranger intentionally running down a pedestrian for no obvious motive.
Jamaican dancehall music innovator dies at 47 kidney failure last December while in New York City, where he had sought specialized medical care, Browne said. Doctors told Johnson he had a blood clot in his brain. Although Johnson was best known for helping to produce numerous hits in Jamaica during the 1980s and 1990s, he first drew acclaim as a keyboardist on Sugar Minott’s 1978 album “Ghetto-ology,” and later as a member of Roots Radics, a pioneering early 1980s

As an 18-year-old, he played keyboards on Bob Marley’s recording of “Trench Town.” Johnson then joined with Browne, and the duo became known as “Steely & Clevie.” They went on to help transform dancehall – a rawer, more sparse variant of reggae – with their early embrace of digital studio technology. The duo also collaborated with global acts such as No Doubt and Heavy D.

New etiquette rules emerge with social Web sites BY BARBARA ORTUTAY AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER
Stephanie Kahn wanted to bask in her engagement for a few hours before diving into the task of calling aunts, uncles and good friends with the big news. And even before she could call them, she had a surprise party to attend, one that her fiance had set up for their parents and her “closest group of girlfriends.” That party was when Kahn lost control of her news. Some of the guests took photos and were “uploading them on Facebook before I could even post anything,” Kahn said from Smyrna, Ga. “Of course the next morning I get a couple of calls, text messages from people I didn’t call. They found out on Facebook. I think some people were a little upset.” In an age in which instant news and constant life streams from Face-
book and Twitter change the way we communicate, the rules of etiquette surrounding these interactions are still evolving. Making matters trickier, good etiquette on Facebook might not apply on Twitter or in an e-mail. These days, milestones
Good etiquette on Facebook might not apply on Twitter or in an e-mail. like marriage, pregnancy, breakups and divorce are being described over more forms of communications than ever. “Because it’s so new, there is sort of a gray area of what the manners are,” said Brian McGee, a 33year-old father-to-be in Charlotte.
AP
Brian McGee (right) holds his BlackBerry while he and his wife Megan Gelabert-McGee pose in their home in Charlotte. McGee and his wife had an online etiquette crisis when the couple were finding out the sex of their new baby. He was going to post it online, but she wanted to tell people personally. He’d just gotten his first BlackBerry when he and his wife were driving to a doctor’s appointment to learn the baby’s sex. He had the BlackBerry out and was thumbing something. “I was like, ‘What are you doing?’ recalled his wife, Megan Gelaburt-McGee. “He was posting that we were on the way to the doctor’s office to find out the baby’s sex. I said, ‘Don’t post that!”’
She said she wanted to tell her close friends the baby’s gender personally, though she didn’t mean an in-person visit. She didn’t even mean a phone call. Instead, she drew the universal female symbol on her belly, had a friend take a photo and sent it in an e-mail to as many as 20 people: cousins, aunts and uncles, bridesmaids, friends she’d known for a very long time. “We (weren’t) going to
keep the sex of the baby a secret,” she said. “But I don’t want to have my cousin find out through Facebook.” Online social networks haven’t been around long enough to develop hard and fast etiquette rules, but general guidance is emerging. Just as most people learned that it’s annoying to yell on a cell phone in public or to hit “reply all” when responding to just one
person in a mass e-mail, social media-savvy folks are finding it’s unwise to, say, post unflattering images of friends without their consent. Etiquette adviser Anna Post, the great-great-granddaughter of manners icon Emily Post, recommends taking a step back before rushing to type, whether it’s good news about you or a response to someone else’s bad news.
N.C. GOP leaders eye 2010 legislative races state government for 100 years. But new chairman Tom Fetzer tried to turn the griping into something constructive. “We can either spend our time talking about how unfairly the Democratic majority governs, or we can become a majority and do a better job of
Befriending former colleague hazardous D
ear Abby: I live in a small city in the South, which means everyone knows everyone. A former coworker, “Dina,” moved across the street from me. We’re friendly, but not too close. She and I taught at the same school. While Dina doesn’t always do things in a way I think is socially correct, she’s a good soul who cares about her students. My principal likes me, which makes my work life much easier, but strongly dislikes Dina. Abby, my principal has a “guilt by association” view of the world. I’m afraid to go out with Dina in case my boss should see me. While this may seem unsociable, I worry for my professional future. I don’t want to jeopardize it for someone who may not be a longtime friend. Any advice? – In A Corner in Georgia
Dear In A Corner: Your principal appears to be controlling, judgmental, someone who plays favorites, and generally a truly awful person. However, unless you’re willing to stand up for yourself and the fact that you are entitled to a personal life, you will be looking over your shoulder until the day you retire. Live your life, and if your principal retaliates in any way, take the matter to the administrator who supervises your boss.
Dear Abby: “Leila” and I have been friends since high school. We’ve grown closer over the last
few years. The problem is her dog, “Prince.” Her life is wrapped around ADVICE that animal. Dear Prince Abby sleeps ■■■ with her, eats off her plate and drinks from her glass. He has a stroller. When Leila brought him to the funeral home, it was the last straw. Prince “groomed” himself the whole time, and she had him sit near me. She has also asked me to “baby-sit” her dog at work while she runs errands. (Prince is not a guide dog or service dog.) Leila frequently invites me to her home to eat, but I make excuses because, frankly, it isn’t clean. Prince requires everyone’s full attention and often vomits when I’m there. I don’t invite Leila to my home because I know she’ll bring the dog. I don’t like animals on my furniture. Now don’t get me wrong. I like dogs. I have owned several in the past. But I cannot stand that one. I’m running out of excuses not to visit her. If we go out, we have to cut things short because she has to get back to “him,” and I end up being left to pay the check. I am single, with one income. Leila owns her own business, and her husband earns six figures. Help! – Fed Up With Fido
Dear Fed Up: Your problem isn’t the dog. It’s Leila. She turned you into a baby sitter for her dog during business hours? I can see it happening once during an emergency – but if you agreed to it after that, then you need to learn how to say no. As to cutting your visits short because she has to get back to the dog, she could make other arrangements for him while she goes out with you. My advice is to ask her to repay her share of the meal tabs she has stuck you with. If this presumptuous woman disappears after that, your problem will be solved. Dear Abby: Can you settle a family argument? Who “owns” the leftovers? The person who orders the food or the person who foots the bill? – Kate in Connecticut Dear Kate: If an entree is ordered in a restaurant, whatever uneaten food remains on someone’s plate would belong to that person. Ditto for a dessert that went with the meal. P.S. If it has reached the point that your family is fighting over food scraps, you’re all in more trouble than an advice columnist can fix. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
governing ourselves,” Fetzer told the crowd between bites of spaghetti. Sensing an electoral opening after Democrats drew a budget that raised taxes, GOP leaders are already talking up legislative elections, even though those won’t occur until November 2010.
Proposed Coast Guard radio tower raises concern BUXTON (AP) – A proposed radio tower that would go up in the shadow of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse has raised concerns among historic preservationists, who feel it would be a blight on the view around the landmark. The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reports that the U.S. Coast Guard wants to build the 525-foot tower, which would be part of an upgrade of its search-andrescue communications system. Such a system, considered a marine version of 911, is already in place in Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore in Virginia, and in N.C. Renee Gledhill-Earley of the State Historic Preservation Office said photographic simulations with the draft environmental assessment don’t support the Coast Guard’s argument that the tower won’t be visually obtrusive.
Fetzer and Republican legislative leaders are wrapping up a 12-city “Budget Tour” to places like Gastonia that began after the General Assembly closed a bruising seven-month session Aug. 11 in which lawmakers cast tough votes on spending and taxes.

sis on fire inspections helps eliminate many hazardous condiFIREHOUSE tions and reduces CHAT the number Lee of fires in Knight the city. ■■■ More time and effort is directed toward public education, including efforts to teach children fire safety. We have a program to help youth fire-setters that is designed to intervene at an early age, interceding – we hope – before serious problems develop. These are a few of the many things we do while continually challenging ourselves to provide a high level of service. So how do we measure success? As a reactive department it was much easier. If a building was burning, firefighters extinguished the fire, making results obvious to see. When you are proactive, it’s much harder to measure results. How many fires were prevented, and how many lives were saved by enforcement and education? We’ll never have an exact answer, but I believe we are making a huge difference. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

s we all know, taxes are a necessary part of city government. Taxes are used to fund essential services such as garbage collection, police and fire protection. Everyone, including me, wishes they paid fewer taxes. Unfortunately these services are expensive, and costs seem to rise yearly. Some people pay their taxes and spend little time worrying about how their money is spent, while others are concerned about how their tax dollars are spent and the level of services they receive. As a government agency, the fire department has a responsibility to spend tax dollars as wisely and efficiently as possible. How does the fire department utilize the tax dollars that have been entrusted to us by the citizens? On a daily basis, fire trucks respond to fires and medical calls throughout the city. This is an extremely important part of our job but only one of the many responsibilities of the fire department. In the past, fire departments were mainly reactive agencies. When an emergency happened, we responded and controlled the problem. Little emphasis was put on preventing a tragedy. The High Point Fire Department of today is more proactive, putting tremendous effort into prevention. Here are a few examples of improved services. An increased empha-

Hard-skin illness can affect organs

Scleroderma (SKLAREuh-DUR-muh) is an apt name for this illness. Unfortunately, the word is a Greek word. It means “hard skin,” and that’s exactly what the illness produces. The skin hardens, tightens and thickens. It can become so tight that it’s difficult or impossible to bend the fingers or to turn the lips into a smile. Scleroderma is a family of illnesses, each with a different prognosis and a somewhat different treatment approach. I’m addressing systemic sclerosis, the scleroderma variety that affects internal organs as well as the skin. What happens is an overproduction of collagen, the body’s support protein. Layer upon layer is deposited in the skin. Internal organs are similarly affected, and they include the heart, lungs, esophagus and kidneys. Affected lungs lead to shortness of breath and a rise in lung blood pressure. A collagen-filled heart muscle becomes a poor pump. With the esophagus, swallowing can be difficult, and heartburn is common. Collagen-filled kidneys raise blood pressure and, untreated, fail to filter the blood of waste material. The cause of this illness

remains undiscovered. Treatment centers on which organs are HEALTH most involved. For Dr. Paul example, Donohue ACE-inhibi■■■ tors – blood pressure medicines – lower blood pressure and preserve kidney function, once the key factor in mortality. Medicines also can ease lung involvement and the rise in lung blood pressure, an issue separate from body blood pressure. And these are just a couple examples of what treatments are available. I’d like to introduce you and your family to the Scleroderma Foundation. A few paragraphs don’t do justice to this complicated illness. The foundation will furnish you with literature and inform you of the latest developments in treatment. The toll-free number is 800-722-HOPE, and its Web site is www. scleroderma.org. Dear Dr. Donohue: My 14-year-old, beautiful, intelligent granddaughter started pulling out her eyelashes, and now her eyebrows. She started when she was 3. I am afraid her scalp will be next. What is this condition called? How can we help her? She’s scheduled to see a psychiatrist. – N.D. The condition is trichotillomania (TRICK-ohTILL-uh-MAY-knee-uh). You can be helpful by
supporting the child, not being punitive, and realizing that the child isn’t responsible for this habit. It’s thought to result from a buildup of tension, and the relief is obtained by pulling out hair. The scalp is the usual place for hair-pulling, but eyebrows and eyelids are other places often targeted. Without help, your granddaughter might do this forever. With help, she can learn how to suppress the urge and how to substitute better tension-relieving processes. Sometimes, medicines can be helpful, especially at the onset of therapy. You might never have heard of this condition. Most haven’t. But it is common. In the past month, I have answered trichotillomania questions three times. That’s an indication of how many people have the problem and how desirous they are for treatment. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a senior citizen. For the past five years I have received Botox injections and wonder where the Botox goes after it leaves the injection site after about six or seven months. Does it stay in the body forever? Does it go to an organ? Suddenly, I am worried about this. – S.B. The body, as it does with all injected medicines, breaks down Botox, and the breakdown products are eliminated. It’s the way nature takes care of all foreign materials that find their way into our bodies.

Enterprise sportswriter Tom Berry, who died Aug. 30, loved to talk sports and was an encyclopedia of sports trivia and history, gleaned from media guides like those pictured.
FILE | HPE
A special kind of kindness Tom Berry leaves a legacy for all of us to admire
id you ever stop and wonder what stories might be told at your funeral? You know, if the pastor stood up there and said something like, “Would anyone like to share a story about Jimmy? Maybe a special memory you have or just something that indicates what kind of person he was? Here’s your chance.” I thought about this the other day as I sat at the memorial service for my longtime friend, Enterprise sportswriter Tom Berry, whom I knew for 25 years. The pastor opened up the floor for sharing, and my initial fear was, “What if nobody says anything?” Public speaking is the No. 1 fear in America, ya know. How embarrassing would that be for no one to speak up? Didn’t happen, of course. There were too many good Tom Berry stories to tell. I could’ve told a few myself, but not without breaking down. My favorite story of the day was told by a man from Tom’s church, whose young son – knowing Tom was a sportswrit-
er – engaged him in a conversation about ACC basketball. I’m sure Tom loved it – he would talk ACC hoops with anybody. Anyway, the kid SLICES told Tom he was a big Duke fan, OF LIFE which is comical because Tom was Jimmy a Tar Heel born, Tomlin a Tar Heel bred, ■■■ and when he died became a Tar Heel dead. I’m sure Tom gave his little Blue Devil friend some good-natured teasing. A few days later, though, a package arrived in the mail for the kid, courtesy of Tom. It was a Duke basketball media guide, packed with enough photos and stories and statistics to give any Duke fan a blue-blooded coronary. The kid’s eyes probably grew to the size of basketballs. What a great story for someone to tell at your funeral. That’s the kind of story that was told because that’s the kind of thing
Tom liked to do. For all of his other gifts, he excelled at going out of his way to be helpful or do something nice for someone. Many times – more times than I can count – that someone was me. For starters, I’m at The High Point Enterprise because of Tom. Knowing I was looking to leave the newspaper in my native Statesville, he’s the one who called to tell me about a feature-writing position at the Enterprise. I’m not sure how many times I’ve moved since coming to the Triad, but Tom helped me move almost every time. You don’t know who your true friends are until you ask them to help you load heavy furniture and a few dozen boxes onto the back of a U-Haul truck. A couple of months ago, I told Tom about a book project I’m working on, related to North Carolina sports trivia. I knew Tom would be interested – he probably knew more sports trivia off the top of his head than I could research in an entire

month. And as I’d expected, he responded with enthusiasm, encouragement and numerous nuggets of trivia for the book. And can you guess what else he responded with a few days later? Media guides. Yep, dozens of ’em. Everything from the Carolina Panthers and the Wyndham Golf Championship to the N.C. State Wolfpack and even those loathsome Duke Blue Devils. “You ought to be able to find lots of good trivia in these,” he said with a smile. “Keep ’em as long as you need ’em.” I’ve still got ’em, because I still need ’em – now more than ever. I mean, not only am I still reading them – they’re also a poignant reminder of the kind of person Tom was. Of the kind of person I should be. And, looking at the big picture, of the kind of stories I hope will be told at my own funeral someday. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579
Randolph Hospital received approval to purchase a second Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner after filing a Certificate of Need (CON) application on May 15. This will be an Open-Bore MRI. The purpose of the CON application is to ensure that capital and technology investments in the health-care industry are in the best interest of the patients and that there is no duplication of services in one area. The stateof-the-art MRI will be located on the Randolph Hospital campus and will expand the services currently offered through Randolph Hospital’s diagnostic imaging department. The Open-Bore MRI scanner by Siemens can perform a scan on any portion of the human body. This scanner will also help Randolph Hospital accommodate individuals with special conditions, such as pain, mobility and respiratory problems, without compromising the quality of the MRI scan. The scanner is unique in that the bore, or tube, is short enough for patients to keep their head or feet out of the machine during an exam. Because there is twice as much space between the patient’s body and the top of the scanner than traditional MRI machines, patients are more comfortable and relaxed during exams. In addition, there are added features such as adjustable lighting and music to calm and ease patients during the scan. This FDA-approved, whole-body scanner widens the clinical capabilities, and opens the doors to a broader patient referral base and improved throughput.

“Do you ever get the idea,” Cy the Cynic asked me, “that the fine line that separates lunacy from genius is getting finer?” Cy showed me today’s deal. “I was North,” he said, “the only sane player at the table. First, West opened with 10 high-card points – and rebid freely. Next, my partner overbid to try for game, and I accepted. Why East didn’t act until his third turn is a mystery, but he emerged with a penalty double.” “Did South make four spades doubled?”
“West led the ace of diamonds,” the Cynic told me, “a goofy choice if I ever saw one. When East played the nine, West led another diamond. My partner won and forced out the ace of trumps, and East returned the queen of hearts. South took dummy’s ace, drew trumps and led a club ... to the king. Down one.” “Too bad,” I said. “My partner’s play in clubs was the last straw,” Cy growled. “If West had the ace, East would have led a club when he took the ace of trumps to get a diamond ruff.”
CROSSWORD
Monday, Sept. 7, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Devon Sawa, 31; Corbin Bernsen, 55; Julie Kavner, 59; Gloria Gaynor, 60 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Be a little more creative about the way you handle your financial matters. Use your common sense and insight to invest in something with potential. Taking action will be what leads to your success so don’t procrastinate. Your numbers are 6, 14, 17, 23, 29, 32, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Emotions will be difficult to control and could lead to costly mistakes. Put more emphasis on love and relationships or doing something that will raise your self-esteem. Take an interest in friends, family and children. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep anything that you are doing a secret for now. Interference will slow you down and make your life difficult. A problem pertaining to your current position or your pecking order at home will arise if you are too accommodating. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You have some amazing ideas that can help you advance professionally but, if you take on too much, you will fall short of your goals. Start small and build slowly. Let your talent fuel your plans. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let your anger show. Someone is just waiting for you to make a mistake. Keep things under control by fulfilling your responsibilities. Good things will come your way if you are patient and put in extra hours. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you think you can handle what’s being asked of you, go for it but, if it will restrict time you want to spend with someone you love, rethink your schedule. Personal mistakes will turn into costly liabilities. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Call the shots and you will avoid being taken advantage of by a fast talker. Don’t give in to anyone asking for a handout or wanting your assistance. Now is not the time to do for others when you should be trying to get ahead. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Let your charm lead the way. Someone is likely to make you angry and, if you react negatively, it will set you back and make you look bad. Concentrate on what you can do that is positive. Love is looking good so plan a romantic evening. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A few last-minute changes will ensure that you have everything just the way you want it. Let your memories and past experiences guide you. Don’t let anyone lead you to believe you don’t have something worthwhile to offer. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be ready to have some fun but, before you do, make sure you haven’t left someone out or forgotten to do something you promised to do. A problem left unattended will turn into a responsibility that is difficult to manage. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can talk all you want but, if you are too pushy, you will be wasting your time and energy. Laying down the rules must be done in such a way that you don’t offend anyone. Use a little charm and friendly persuasion. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Frequent places you used to enjoying going to and hook up with friends you have some history with. The more you do to remember your past, the better equipped you will be to handle what’s to come in the future. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t play games or you’ll have to answer questions that may be awkward. You can make some changes but don’t do so for the sake of ruining someone else’s plans. Patience, understanding, compassion and forgiveness will be required. ★★★

Wake braces for historic guest BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
WINSTON-SALEM – History will be made when Stanford faces Wake Forest on Saturday. The Cardinal trip to BB&T Field will mark the first time that the Demon Deacons play host to a member of the PAC-10. That doesn’t automatically translate into an overwhelming challenge for Wake on the order of facing Southern California. Stanford suffered its seventh straight losing season last year, but improved to 5-7 two years after going 1-10. The Cardinal opened the season with a 39-13 win over PAC-10 doormat Washington State, a team it defeated 58-0 last year. Stanford features senior running back Toby Gerhart, who set a school single-season rushing record of 1,136 yards last year. Just like Baylor, which defeated the Deacons 24-21 on Saturday, the Cardinal has 17 starters back from 2008. Just like Baylor, Stanford is middle of the pack in its conference, having tied for sixth last season after close losses to UCLA and Oregon down the stretch. Wake coach Jim Grobe sounded a warning about what might happen if the Deacs repeat their sloppy performance against Baylor that included four turnovers and just 269 yards of offense and defensive mistakes that included giving up two back-breaking plays. “If we don’t make some improvement, it’s not going to be pretty,” Grobe said. The assessments of Grobe and some of his players were the same after the loss: the Deacons can be good if they eliminate the
Gerhart
mistakes and they showed plenty of heart, fighting back from a 21-7 deficit to have a shot to win in the closing min-
utes. “The good part of today was the fight,” senior defensive tackle Jon Russell said. “We got down 17 and kids were running to ball and wanting to win. “We’ll take a step back and assess this game and find out what we did wrong. As we fix some mistakes, we have a chance to be good. But this (loss) is disappointing because you want to come out of the gates fast.” Grobe wondered if he may have contributed to the loss by trying to stick with his running game too long, even after Wake fell behind 10-0 in the first half. He opened up the offense after Baylor started the second half by taking advantage of the second of three interceptions thrown by Riley Skinner to go up 17-7. Grobe’s intention was to keep the ball as long as possible to offset Baylor’s potential to score quickly behind quarterback Robert Griffin. Grobe called six pass plays in the first half, while trying to revert to a trademark ground game that featured a number of different of offensive sets and handoffs to wide receivers. “Our lack of production is something we have to look at as coaches and not blame it all on the players,” Grobe said. “We’ve got to go back and look at what we asked the kids to do. I’m sure there are situations where we should have made different calls.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Before the season started, Oklahoma’s offensive coordinator talked about preparing the Sooners to deal with an injury to Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford. The worst case scenario became reality Saturday night and the result was a season-opening 1413 upset at the hands of BYU. Now, with no timetable for their star quarterback’s return, the Sooners are looking for Plan C – or at least a revised Plan B. The injury to Bradford’s right throwing shoulder has been called a sprained AC joint. Purdue quarterback Curtis Painter missed two games last season after injuring the joint.

For the Wolfpack, it marked the second straight year the season started with a loss to the Gamecocks. The Demon Deacons, meanwhile, were doomed by three interceptions and too many big plays by the Bears.
Three other ACC teams endured rocky starts. Alabama rolled past Virginia Tech 3424 in a battle of top-10 powers; William and Mary shocked Virginia 26-14 and Cal crushed Maryland 52-13.

Clijsters upsets Venus to keep comeback going
NEW YORK (AP) – Well, she sure answered that question. Anyone wondering how serious a threat Kim Clijsters might be at the U.S. Open after a two-year layoff got their answer Sunday, when the 2005 champion at Flushing Meadows toppled none other than No. 3 Venus Williams, 6-0, 0-6, 6-4 to advance to the quarterfinals. Moving well, stinging shots with both
forehand and backhand and matching every bit of Williams’ power, the Belgian star offered a startling referendum on the state of her game in her first Grand Slam appearance since having a baby 18 months ago. It may have also said something about the true state of Williams’ left knee, which she hurt in the opening round, but had refused throughout the tourna-
ment to use as an excuse. “It was unbelievable. I don’t know what to say,” Clijsters said. “It was such a weird match, especially those first two sets. But after I lost the second at 6-0, I said, let’s start over and start a new match.” Clijsters retired in 2007 to start a family and hadn’t seen Grand Slam action since that year. On the men’s side, No. 3 Rafael Nadal

Reds take 7th straight THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA – Micah Owings walked off the field after getting beaned with the bases loaded in the 12th inning and Cincinnati picked up its seventh consecutive win, 4-2 over Atlanta on Sunday. Owings (7-12), who pitched two scoreless innings, was hit on the batting helmet by an 01 fastball from Kenshin Kawakami. Owings was on his back for several seconds before Reds staff helped him sit up and walk to the dugout. He was OK after the game but is expected to rest for a couple days. Joey Votto scored on the play and Corky Miller followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 4-2. Kawakami (7-11) allowed two runs and two hits in two innings. Atlanta has lost five straight, matching its season-worst skid set April 14-18. Cincinnati trailed 2-1 before Drew Stubbs hit his fifth homer against Mike Gonzalez in the eighth. The Reds have won 12 of 14.

It was the Brewers’ first triple play since April 16, 1999, against the Cubs and fifth overall.
PIRATES 6, CARDINALS 5 PITTSBURGH – Garrett Jones hit a game-ending RBI single to cap a tworun rally in the ninth and the Pirates avoided a record-setting loss at least for one day, stopping a nine-game skid. The Pirates, who would have assured themselves of a record 17th consecutive losing season with a loss, won after falling behind 5-4 on Rick Ankiel’s pinch-hit homer off Jesse Chavez (1-4) in the top of the ninth.

Chargers’ Merriman arrested in domestic call THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO – San Diego Chargers star outside linebacker Shawne Merriman was arrested Sunday and accused of choking and restraining his girlfriend, reality TV star Tila Tequila, as she tried to leave his suburban home. Tequila, 27, signed a citizen’s arrest warrant, charging Merriman with battery and false imprisonment, San Diego County Sheriff’s Lt. Gary Steadman said. Deputies responded about 3:45 a.m. to Merriman’s house in Poway,
north of San Diego, after a woman called to say she was choked by the player and thrown to the ground when she tried to leave, Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jan Caldwell said at a news conference. Merriman, 25, was taken into custody and booked into the central jail at about 8:30 a.m. He was released shortly after 11 a.m. Caldwell said she didn’t know if he posted bail or was released on his own recognizance.

PATS TRADE SEYMOUR TO RAIDERS ALAMEDA, Calif. – The Oakland Raiders took a big step toward improving their struggling run defense by acquiring five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Richard Seymour from the New England Patriots on Sunday. The move does not come without its risks as the Raiders gave up a first-round pick in 2011, which could be in the top 10 based on Oakland’s recent history, to acquire a lineman who turns 30 next month and is in the final year of a contract paying him $3.7 million this season.
HARRISONBURG, Va. – The High Point University men’s soccer team earned its second shutout in three games as it held Rider to just five shots in a 1-0 win on Sunday afternoon at the JMU Comfort Inn Classic. Freshman Shane Malcolm scored the game’s only goal midway through the first half. “We are excited for the fast start,” said head coach Dustin Fonder. “We are really proud of the fact that we had our second shutout in three games. A goal of ours was to tighten up defensively and it looks like we are starting to do that. “ After earning just two shutouts throughout
all of the 2008 season, the Panther defense has been in top form in 2009. HPU allowed Rider just one shot on goal in the match. The shutout was sophomore Michael Chesler’s fourth of his career, moving him into a tie with former Panther Adam Ross for second all-time in HPU’s Division I record book. Malcolm notched the game-winner in the 30th minute of play. The goal was the first of the freshman’s collegiate career. The Panthers play in the Cincinnati Adidas Classic on Friday and Sunday. HPU will open the competition with a game against No. 3 Akron on Friday at 5 p.m. and follow that with a game against Western Illinois on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Miami, FSU clash in ACC opener
AP
Richmond’s Justin Rogers celebrates at the end of Saturday night’s game against Duke at Wallace Wade Stadium. The Spiders caught the Blue Devils in their web for a 24-16 victory in the season opener for both teams.
Duke searches for answers after loss
DURHAM (AP) – Richmond started 2009 the way it ended 2008 – with a big win. Tyler Kirchoff rushed for a touchdown and blocked a punt leading to another score to help Richmond defeat Duke 24-16 late Saturday night. The Spiders, reigning champions of the Football Championship Subdivision, won their 10th straight victory dating back to last season. “That was obviously a great accomplishment,” said Kirchoff, who rushed for 20 yards on seven carries. “But we’ve tried this year to put that behind us and focus on this as a new year. We wanted to come out and prove that we’re a good team. We may have even gotten better.” The Blue Devils figured the same thing about themselves after getting as many wins (four) last season as they had in their previous four years combined. But even though they outgained Richmond 369-282, they lost their opener for the sixth time in the last seven years. Duke coach David Cutcliffe said his team wasn’t ready to play after a great week of practice, and he
didn’t have a reason why. “I’m baffled,” he said. “I never expected that. I was shocked.” Kirchoff didn’t handle the ball much, but he made his touches count. He blocked a punt that teammate Jonathan Mayfield returned 5 yards for a touchdown to open the scoring midway through the first quarter. He then scored on a 1-yard touchdown to put the Spiders ahead 21-9 with less than 10 minutes left in the game. Thaddeus Lewis completed 34 of 55 passes for 350 yards and two touchdowns for the Blue Devils in front of a crowd of 33,311, Duke’s largest at home since 2001. The Blue Devils, who lost their opener for the sixth time in the last seven years, missed a pair of field goals. Both teams struggled to move the ball on offense in the early going, but they had even more difficulty getting rid of it on special teams. Duke’s first possession ended with punter Kevin Jones leaping to catch a high snap and then having his punt blocked by Kirchoff. Two possessions later, the Spiders had a high snap of their own.
Standing just in front of his goal line, Richmond punter Brian Radford watched the ball sail over his head out the back of the end zone for a safety. The Spiders went ahead 14-2 on a 2-yard touchdown run by Justin Forte early in the second quarter. Kirchoff kept alive the drive, converting a fourth-and-1 from the Duke 18 with a tough run up the middle. “They won the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball because they outcompeted us there,” Cutcliffe said. “And that’s disturbing.” Duke answered on its ensuing possession when Lewis lofted a long pass that hit Johnny Williams in stride for a 54-yard touchdown. Lewis also engineered a touchdown drive with 2:13 remaining to cut Richmond’s lead to 24-16. But by then, most of the fans who entered the stadium excited about the start of Duke’s second season under coach David Cutcliffe had departed. Derek Hatcher recovered the ensuing onside kick for the Spiders, who ran out the clock.
Tar Heels run wild in opener
CHAPEL HILL (AP) – North Carolina built its identity the past few years around three star receivers. During their first game without them, the Tar Heels wound up defining themselves by their ability to run – and to stop The Citadel from doing so. Shaun Draughn rushed for 118
yards, Ryan Houston had two short touchdown runs and No. 21 North Carolina had its best rushing game under coach Butch Davis during a 40-6 rout of the Bulldogs on Saturday night. “Great way to start a season,” Draughn said. “It didn’t even feel like I had that many yards.” T.J. Yates threw for two touch-
downs in the decisive first half, finishing 9 of 20 for 114 yards in three quarters with scoring passes of 18 yards to Johnny White and 21 yards to Greg Little for the Heels (1-0). North Carolina rolled up 375 total yards, and its 261 on the ground marked its most productive rushing performance since 2004 .
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Bobby Bowden has just about everything he ever wanted, with nearly 400 wins, two national titles and more Atlantic Coast Conference rings than fingers. And still, one opponent makes him wonder about the ones that got away. “Woulda’ gotten more, too,” the Florida State coach said, “if not for Miami.” Indeed, no team has vexed Bowden more than the Hurricanes – whom he’ll see in Tallahassee for perhaps the final time tonight. Florida State vs. Miami. Maybe it’s not THE game any more, but to the Sunshine State rivals, not much looms larger. They’ll cap college football’s opening weekend in the first ACC game of 2009, the 18thranked ’Noles looking for their fourth win in five meetings, the ’Canes seeking the big victory that’s been sorely lack-
Three show way in tourney THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORTON, Mass. – Steve Stricker squeezed everything he could out of his final shot Sunday in the Deutsche Bank Championship, setting up an eagle that gave him a share of the lead with Retief Goosen and Sean O’Hair. Stricker, who can overtake Tiger Woods atop the FedEx Cup standings with a victory, hit his hybrid to 5 feet on the par-5 18th for a 6-under 65. He was among a dozen players separated by three shots going into the Labor Day finish at TPC Boston. Woods is nine shots behind in a tie for 30th.

Harvick foils Earnhardt Jr. in 300 HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) – Dale Earnhardt Jr. won a late gamble on gas, but that wasn’t enough to overcome Kevin Harvick’s dominance. Harvick led most of the race and then passed Earnhardt with two laps left to regain the lead and win the Degree V12 300 Nationwide Series race on Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Harvick and Kyle Busch each went
into the pits for gas and four tires with 14 laps remaining. Earnhardt and Brad Keselowski stayed on the track, gambling they had enough gas to finish the race. Earnhardt and Keselowski had enough gas, but were still passed by Harvick and Busch, who finished second. Earnhardt was third, followed by Keselowski and Jeff Burton.
ing in recent seasons. “You want to be put in these situations,” Miami quarterback Jacory Harris said. “Who doesn’t want to be playing against the Florida State Seminoles up there in Tallahassee on Labor Day, first game of the season?” Harris is 19. Bowden is 79. There’s no generation gap when these teams tussle, however. Miami visits Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium every other year, so the next trip isn’t until 2011. By then, it seems likely that Bowden will have stepped down; his expected successor, FSU offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher, has a deal that says he’ll be due $5 million if he isn’t the coach after the 2010 season. Bowden is 14-20 against Miami, and perhaps unbelievably, a mere 7-9 when the Hurricanes visit the stadium that now bears his name.
HIGH POINT – David Millis carded a 1-under-par round of 71 on Sunday to take a three-stroke lead after two rounds of the Men’s Club Championship at Willow Creek. Millis stands at 71-75– 146, three strokes ahead of Brad Burris (75-74).

Skinner trucks to Iowa victory NEWTON, Iowa (AP) – Mike Skinner was headed for certain victory when he glanced at his truck’s fuel pressure gauge and gasped. It read zero. “I yelled, ‘I’m out of gas! We’re out of gas,’” Skinner said of the frantic call to his pit crew. “They said, ‘Well, just keep going. There’s noth-
ing we can do about it.’” As it turned out, Skinner had enough in his Toyota’s tank to not only win the first Camping World Trucks Series race at the Iowa Speedway late Saturday night, but to celebrate with a burnout. “Obviously, it wasn’t out of gas,” he said, smiling. “Maybe it vapor
locked. Maybe my nerves let some air in.” Aric Almirola, also in a Toyota, held on for second and Colin Braun finished third in a Ford. Series leader Ron Hornaday Jr. was fourth after starting 15th. Skinner, who started on the pole, led for all but 20 of the 200 laps in winning for the 27th time in the series.

G-20 to curb banker bonuses
AP
Marcus Wells looks for work on his computer in his living room in San Jose, Calif., Tuesday. Wells, 25, was laid off from his IT job in January and has yet to find employment.
Layoffs toughest on youngest, oldest workers
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Marcus Wells and Shirley Walker view their economic prospects from opposite ends of the age spectrum. Wells, 25, was initially optimistic about his prospects for finding a new job after he was laid off as a systems analyst in January in San Jose, Calif. Now unemployment has begun to wear on the him, and he believes his age has factored into his frustration. “More experienced people are getting hired, and they’re downgrading their skills to get the job,” Wells said. “I feel like I’m competing with older workers, not college graduates. It wears on your confidence.” Walker, 58, lost her job running a nonprofit which helped minority women in business in Orlando and hasn’t had any luck finding new work in the three months since. “What they tell us is that they’re looking for more mature and experienced workers, but they want us to work for less, or what they could pay younger people to do,” she said recently outside an Orlando job fair. “Maybe younger people would be willing or able to accept lesser pay.” Would-be retirees have watched their savings dwindle and health care costs soar, while workers recently out of school and burdened by debt try to advance in careers that no longer have room for them.
The results show up on the map: Places with high concentrations of people in their late 20s or nearing what they thought would be their retirement age are feeling the recession the hardest, as measured by The Associated Press Economic Stress Index. The index assigns each county a
‘I feel like I’m competing with older workers, not college graduates. It wears on your confidence.’ Marcus Wells Unemployed systems analyst score from 1 to 100, with higher numbers reflecting greater stress, based on its unemployment, foreclosures and bankruptcy rates. California’s Santa Clara County, where Wells lives, registered 14.41 on the stress index in July, the most recent month for which figures are available, while Walker’s Orange County, Fla., came in at 15.76, both well above the average county’s 10.54. The groups associated with the highest stress scores in each U.S. county are men and women
between ages 25 and 29 and women over age 55. That doesn’t necessarily mean having a high percentage of people in those groups causes a county’s economic health to worsen, though the two appear to go hand in hand. Experts said a variety of factors may be at play. Young adults are more at risk for losing their jobs and homes in a recession, while people later in life are more likely to declare bankruptcy in order to protect their assets, said Tay McNamara, director of research at the Center on Aging and Work at Boston College. “Last hired, first fired. Generally, that is very true,” McNamara said. Chanel Moore knows how that goes. The 25year-old Orlando resident was laid off last year from a job in retail and has found herself competing with older workers in her jobs searches. “I’m young, trying to get on my feet, and then you have people older than me who are already on their feet looking for jobs with more experience than me,” Moore said. Workers in the 25 to 34 age group have seen the most dramatic rise in unemployment during the past year compared to other age groups. Their unemployment rate went from 5.7 percent in July 2008 to 10 percent in July 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Short week to bring few reasons to rally
NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market has lost some of its swagger, and it seems unlikely to regain it anytime soon. A six-month rally that sent Wall Street’s major indexes up more than 45 percent from their March lows has hit the wall. While months ago investors welcomed even modest signs that the economy had slowed its decline, now traders won’t settle for anything less than signs of actual growth before they’ll buy stocks with any enthusiasm again. “There’s no catalyst to push the market higher right now,” said Brett
DILBERT
D’Arcy, chief investment officer at CBIZ Wealth Management Group in San Diego. “You can only be less bad for so long before you need to be good.” The holiday-shortened week – the market is closed today – brings few major economic indicators that could revive the rally. The biggest reports will likely be the Federal Reserve’s beige book report, which tracks economic activity by region, and the University of Michigan’s preliminary report on consumer sentiment during September. However, those reports are not considered as im-
portant as monthly jobs data, which came out Friday, or retail sales and consumer spending reports. An improvement in employment and consumer spending is needed for a full recovery but there’s no sign yet of that happening, said Mike Rubino, CEO of Rubino Financial Group in Troy, Mich. “We think numbers can get worse,” Rubino said about job losses. “We’re still going to leak jobs.” The concern across financial markets is that consumers, even if they have jobs, will continue to curb their spending out of fear that they’ll be laid off.
LONDON (AP) – Top finance officials from rich and developing countries agreed Saturday to curb hefty bankers’ bonuses, but the proposed crackdown on excessive payouts so far falls short of European demands after the U.S. and Britain shied away from imposing a cap. The Group of 20 finance ministers also pledged to maintain stimulus measures such as extra government spending and low interest rates to boost the global economy, warning that the fledgling recovery that provided the backdrop to their meeting here is by no means assured. The G-20 joint statement issued at the end of their London meeting said that fiscal and monetary policy will stay “expansionary” for as long as needed to reduce the chances of a double-dip recession. The group also pushed ahead with plans to reform the financial system, including tougher action against tax havens and giving developing countries a greater say in global governance.
Report: Madoff wooed, bullied feds
WASHINGTON (AP) – Disgraced financier Bernard Madoff tried by turns to bully and impress the federal examiners who looked into his business, but the investigators managed by themselves to botch the probes, a new report shows. A trove of revelations came to light in the report by the Securities and Exchange Commission inspector general, David Kotz, which was released Friday evening. The 477page document paints in detail how the SEC investigations of Madoff were bungled over 16 years. An inspection of Madoff’s operation in 2003-04 “was put on the back burner” even though the exam team still had unresolved questions, the report says. An SEC official who later would marry Madoff’s niece told investigators this year that if he had carefully reviewed a complaint about Madoff’s business, he would have investigated more extensively, according to the report.
OPEC not likely to cut output VIENNA (AP) – With oil prices about where OPEC wants them and a modest economic upturn in the offing, the oil cartel isn’t likely to tighten the taps when its leaders meet this week in Vienna. Prices have been hovering
near $70 a barrel, and with returning growth expected to support demand, analysts don’t expect the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will feel any need to cut output targets. Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s No. 1 producer and most
influential member, has said $75 a barrel is a fair price for both consumers and producers – a level that would allow for continued investments in the oil sector without undermining efforts at global economic recovery.
