New rule allows pets on patios at restaurants

HIGH POINT – If you’re a dog or a cat lover, taking your furry friend out for a nice dinner may be easier due to a new public health law that was recently passed. Restaurants and food service businesses inspected by local health departments now can decide if they will allow dogs or cats in their outdoor dining areas. Some regulations are included, such as animals must be constrained while at the restaurant, whether on leashes or in cages. They also cannot come into contact with food or food preparers, and they aren’t allowed inside. The new rule was approved by a state panel last month after it became popular for restaurants and bars to advertise themselves as “pet-friendly.” Norman Andrews, owner of Uptowne Tavern at 1807 N. Main St., said he struggled with the issue of allowing pets on the patio before the rule was enacted. Previously, only service dogs were allowed on restaurant patios, but the law was sometimes misinterpreted. Andrews recently bought Uptowne Tavern from Greg Stephens, who ran Harrison’s Restaurant in the space. Stephens often advertised the restaurant as being pet-friendly. “We’re welcome to the idea now,” he said. Less than a handful of Andrews’ customers bring their pets to the restaurant’s patio each month, he said, but it does happen. Last week, he said two customers had two dogs on the patio at once. “That’s rare, but we do have people who bring them every once in a while,” he said. “As long as it’s a wellcontrolled dog, we don’t mind.” Pets often show up on the patio of Liberty Steak House and Brewery on Mall Loop Road, said Jessica Nathan, the restaurant’s administrator. “We have regulars that bring their pets, and we’re already pet-friendly,” she said. “We don’t see it a lot, but we do see some customers who bring their dogs.” Bringing Fido in for a treat is also a trend at Ham’s on N. Main Street, where a manager said the restaurant often gets calls from customers inquiring about their pet policies. The issue is disputed by some nonpet lovers, said Allen Andrews, general manager at Uptowne Tavern. “There’s two sides to it because some people may not want a dog around their food,” he said. “But as long as it stays under control, I’d like to keep our patio pet- and family-friendly. I’m a dog lover, so I get it.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

One option for non-residential garbage collection considered by the City Council’s Public Services Committee would charge a flat fee per location – $25 for downtown 4 day-per-week service and $6 for the 570 non-residential locations throughout the city for oncea-week pickups. Other options include assessing the fees per container per month or assessing a flat fee for two carts per location, with the option to pay more for additional carts. The city considered imposing a $6 monthly residential garbage collection fee in the 2010-11 budget, but officials eliminated the idea after hearing feedback that it would impose a burden on financially-strapped residents.

HIGH POINT – For businesses, churches, nonprofits and other nonresidential entities that receive city garbage service, a change appears to be coming, but what form it will take is unclear. That was the picture that emerged from the City Council’s Public Services Committee session on proposed solid waste collection fees Tuesday. The council is considering enacting a $6 monthly charge for non-residental

For the 25th birthday, organizers will be placing a proclamation, a T-shirt and other memorabilia in a time capsule, which is to be opened by the Bush Hill Heritage Festival committee in 2035. The festival marks the 1786 settlement named Bush Hill, which later became known as Archdale. The city of Archdale was named after the first Quaker governor of North Carolina, John Archdale. “We have always tried to recapture that heritage feel,” Nelson said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

ARCHDALE – Organizers of the annual Bush Hill Heritage Festival this weekend will celebrate the 25th birthday of the festival that marks the city’s early beginnings. According to Beverly Nelson, president of the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce, about 25,000 people are expected to attend the two-day festival, which recently was recognized by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the Top 20 September festivals in the Southeast. The Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce hosts the Bush Hill Heritage Festival. Bush Hill Eve is being renamed this year to the Bush Hill Bash in honor of the festival’s 25th birthday. It will take place 6-9 p.m. Friday at the corner of Bonnie Place and W. White Drive. Several children’s activities will be offered, and Nash Vegas, a country rock band, will perform. Saturday’s events will be held at Bonnie Place, on N.C. 62 and several of its side streets and the campus of Archdale Elementary School. A car show that includes two new categories, imports and antique tractors, will be a part of Saturday’s festivities. There also will be three stages for music. Nelson said the festival will have a wide variety of vendors selling food, crafts, home-

garbage customers, as well as fees as high as $25 per cart for downtown businesses that have their garbage picked up four days per week. The fees were to have been adopted in the city’s 2010-11 budget, which took effect July 1, but have not been implemented because of confusion about how they should be applied. City officials said $62,000 from the proposed fees is budgeted in the current spending plan. “While I appreciate ($68,000), I don’t think it’s going to make or break a

$100 million budget,” said Councilman Latimer Alexander. City officials said they had identified 40 customers in the downtown area that wanted to keep the four-day-per-week service, many of them small businesses that don’t need a Dumpster and can fit their trash in a mobile toter. “The problem is, they’re generating more garbage than will fit in one container per week,” said City Manager Strib

Raleigh delays decision on high-speed rail line

The Department of Defense announced the death of Carver who was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

NC justices hear case on governor’s powers RALEIGH (AP) – Attorneys used pails of cash and paper cups as visual aids for the North Carolina Supreme Court on Tuesday as the justices weighed whether the governor has power under the state constitution to shift money between government funds and agencies to balance the annual budget, or if the Legislature must sign off first. Two former governors, three exchief justices and current legislative leaders were in the courtroom as attorneys argued over what authority the state constitution grants the governor during a fiscal emergency. The justices’ ruling, likely to be

months away, could give a governor nearly unfettered power to decide how to spend money raised by the Legislature, or determine the chief executive is essentially powerless to avoid widespread furloughs or elimination of services, according to lawyers arguing the case. “The power has to reside somewhere at any given time,” former Chief Justice Burley Mitchell, who filed a brief on behalf of three former governors who agree with state attorneys that a lower court ruling be overturned. The case focuses on then-Gov. Mike Easley’s February 2002 executive order to transfer $80 million

from the Highway Trust Fund to pay for other government operations so a shortfall that ultimately reached $1.6 billion that year could be closed. Gov. Beverly Perdue also siphoned money from several sources last year to narrow a deficit that was twice as large. Former state Sen. Bill Goldston and ex-Transportation Secretary Jim Harrington, who helped create the trust fund in 1989, sued to challenge Easley’s shift. They argued the fund’s revenues must be used solely for the purposes laid out in state law – in this case, to build urban loops, widen four-lane highways and improve secondary roads.

An AK-47 with Saddam Hussein’s image on it is displayed at the Iraqi Ministry of foreign Affairs in Baghdad, Iraq, Tuesday. Hundreds of Iraqi artifacts looted from museums and archaeological sites across the country have been returned to Iraq.

Abbas asks US to step into settlement dispute RAMALLAH, West Bank – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he has asked the U.S. to settle a dispute with Israel over settlement expansion that is threatening to derail Mideast peace talks. Israel’s 10-month partial freeze on new construction in West Bank settlements ends Sept. 26, and Israeli officials have indicated they will not extend the freeze as is. Abbas has said he’ll quit peace talks with Israel unless the restrictions remain in place.

Iran says it has the right to bar UN inspectors TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s nuclear chief said Tehran has the right to bar some U.N. inspectors from monitoring its disputed nuclear program, the semiofficial ISNA news agency reported. Ali Akbar Salehi’s comments were in response to a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency expressing alarm about Iran’s decision to bar inspectors. ISNA quoted Salehi as saying Iran asked the agency to replace the two and that it has accepted them.

Skin infections pose risk to Chilean miners SAN JOSE MINE, Chile – Rescuers have sent down antibiotics and ointments and were working Tuesday to blast cool, dry air to 33 miners trapped a half-mile underground for more than a month. All the men have suffered from skin sores, foot fungi or abrasions, and infections could prove dangerous in the sweltering heat and humidity, with rescue at least six weeks away. Scrapes, cuts and infections like athlete’s foot and jock itch are usually just minor annoyances. But trapped as they are in unrelenting 86-degree heat, the miners don’t have any way of drying out.

Strikes in Europe foreshadow more protests PARIS – French strikers disrupted trains and planes, hospitals and mail delivery Tuesday amid massive street protests over plans to raise the retirement age. Across the English Channel, London subway workers unhappy with staff cuts walked off the job. The protests look like the prelude to a season of strikes in Europe, from Spain to the Czech Republic, as heavily indebted governments cut costs and chip away at some cherished but costly benefits that underpin the European good life.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) – A car bomb ripped through a police compound in a northwestern Pakistani city on Tuesday, killing 14 women and children and three officers, the latest in a string of attacks proving that Islamist militants remain a potent force in the country. The dead were the wives and children of police officers, said Khalid Omarzai, the city’s top government official. Another 94 people were wounded, he said, adding that they had been taken to hospitals after rescuers cleared rubble of over two dozen collapsed houses and shops. The complex in the city of Kohat houses officers’ homes and a training facility. Officer Mohammad Arif said there was a huge explosion in the residential area of the compound soon after the evening breaking of the daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan. Power to the area was cut, forcing workers to search for victims in the dark.

BAGHDAD (AP) – An Iraqi soldier sprayed gunfire at American troops guarding one of their commanders as he visited an Iraqi military base on Tuesday and killed two of them, the first U.S. servicemen to die since President Barack Obama declared an official end to combat operations last week. Even after the U.S. rebranded its mission in Iraq, the attack was a reminder Americans still have to defend themselves in a country where Iraqi forces only have a tenuous hold on security.

We must save lake on Thomasville’s Liberty Drive There is a lake on Liberty Drive in Thomasville located between Holly Hill and Cloniger that has been there for as long as I can remember and was part of Jones Dairy Farm. Houses have been built around it now. It is home to many fish and birds, including a good number of geese and ducks. The lake, as well as the wildlife it attracts, has been a beautiful sight for all in this area, not just those that live directly around the lake. Now the EPA tells us the dam is not safe. Instead of repairing it, they are draining the lake. Why? If this dam is in such poor shape, as they say, why have I never seen it flood anything? It might put some water on Liberty Drive for a while, but other than that, it would run into a creek. That’s a lot safer than the sewer spills we have had in the area. I have seen so much water on Randolph Street you could float a boat in it, not to mention areas of National Highway that are prone to flooding on the Thomasville side. Why is this lake such a worry? Who called the EPA? Do they not look at the big picture? They will destroy the home of much wildlife, making a swamp of the place and ruining home values as well. Unless it rains for 40 days and nights, I don’t think this lake is a danger to anyone. I saw a lake this size drained years ago. Between the dead fish, the mud, the bugs, and the smell – it is better to save the lake. This draining will create a stink that will last for years.

Graduation rate goal is 100 percent

t was good news last week when Guilford County fared well in an education foundation’s national report on graduation rates, particularly improvements in the graduation rates of black male students. Guilford County Schools recorded one of the top 10 graduation rates among large school districts, the Schott Foundation for Public Education reported. The foundation’s report looked at graduation rates for 2008, and Guilford’s rate for black male students came in at 48 percent, one percentage point above the national average and two percentage points above the state average, according to the foundation. In the state’s reporting of the black male graduation rate for the 2007-2008 school year, the figure was higher at 65.6 percent. That’s because the State Department of Education factors in numbers of students entering and departing the school districts during a given year, while the Schott evaluation does not. Additionally, in more good news, state data shows that Guilford’s graduation rate for black males rose for the 2009-2010 school year to 68.9 percent. Those reports by the Schott Foundation and state education officials indicate that efforts by Guilford County schools such as the Middle College at N.C. A&T and other programs that focus additional resources where needed for more intensive classroom instruction seem to be achieving desired results. However, we do believe there’s still too much made about the graduation rate “gap” between black and white males. The focus should be to raise both rates to 100 percent. But the reports also show that much remains to be done in raising the graduation rates of black high school males, whether the foundation or state methodology is used in making the calculations. But if Guilford officials will continue to focus additional resources to where they are most needed, those goals – for black and white male students can be achieved.

Our government and citizens (we) have allowed the jobs that would rightfully go to our soldiers and countrymen to be given or taken away, by allowing an overflow of people who are seeking what they have provided, freedom. Freedom is not free; it comes with a price! American families have lost loved ones throughout our history who have fought the good fight, not only in their faith in Jesus Christ, but in their faith and hope for their country, too. Our country is changing from within, our freedoms are disappearing before our very eyes, and most of us choose to ignore this fact.

In 30 words or less (no name, address required), e-mail us your thoughts to letterbox@hpe.com. Here are three responses: • I definitely believe Obama is Muslim. His actions, not his words, tell us. He was born to a Muslim and bowed to a Muslim leader, as all Muslims do. • Obama and his Muslim Chicago cartel’s plan was to bankrupt America so they could take the country from the very start of the campaign. • How many times since Obama took office has America seen the first family going into or leaving a church? Any church.

Obamacare has sparked medical care facts and fables

here is so much political spin, and so many numbers games being played, when it comes to medical care, that we have to go back to square one and the simplest common sense, in order to get some rational idea of what government-run medical care means. In particular, we need to examine the claim that the government can “bring down the cost of medical care.” The most basic fact is that it is cheaper to remain sick than to get medical treatment. What is cheapest of all is to die instead of getting life-saving medications and treatment, which can be very expensive. Despite these facts, most of us tend to take a somewhat more parochial view of the situation when it is we ourselves who are sick or who face a potentially fatal illness. But what if that decision is taken out of your hands under Obamacare and is being made for you by a bureaucrat in Washington? We won’t know what that leads to until the time comes. As Nancy Pelosi said, we will find out what is in the bill after it has passed. But even now, after Obamacare has been passed, not many people want to read its 2,400 pages. Even if you did, you would still not know what it would be like in practice, after more than 150 boards and commissions issue their specific regulations. Fortunately – in fact, very fortunately – you don’t have to slog through 2,400 pages of legalistic jargon or turn to a fortune teller to divine the future. A new book, “The Truth About ObamaCare” by Sally Pipes of the Pacific Research Institute lays out the facts in the plainest English. While she can’t tell you the future, she can tell you enough about government-run medical systems in other countries that it will not take a rocket scientist to figure out what is in store for us if Obamacare doesn’t get repealed before it takes full effect in 2014. It is not a pretty picture. We hear a lot about how wonderful it is that the Canadians or the British or the Swedes get free medical treatment because the government runs the system. But we don’t hear much about the quality of that medical care. We don’t hear about more than 4,000 expectant mothers who gave birth inside a hospital, but not in the maternity ward, in Britain in just one year. They had their babies in hallways, bathrooms and even elevators. British newspapers have for years carried

OPINION Thomas Sowell ■■■

stories about the neglect of patients under the National Health Service, of which this is just one. When nurses don’t get around to taking a pregnant woman to the maternity ward in time, the baby doesn’t wait. But the American media don’t tell you about such things when they are gushing over the wonders of “universal health care” that will “bring down the cost of medi-

cal care.” Instead, the media spin is that various countries with government-run medical systems have life expectancies that are as long as ours, or longer. That is very clever as media spin, if you don’t bother to stop and think about it. Author Sally Pipes did bother to stop and think about it in her book, “The Truth About ObamaCare.” She points out that medical care is just one of the factors in life expectancy. She cites a study by professors Ohsfeldt and Schneider at the University of Iowa, which shows that, if you leave out people who are victims of homicide or who die in automobile accidents, Americans live longer than people in any other Western country. Doctors do not prevent homicides or car crashes. In the things that doctors can affect, such as the survival rates of cancer patients, the United States leads the world. Americans get the latest pharmaceutical drugs, sometimes years before those drugs are available to people in Britain or in other countries where the government runs the medical system. Why? Because the latest drugs cost more and it is cheaper to let people die. The media have often said that we have higher infant mortality rates than other countries with government medical care systems. But we count every baby that dies and other countries do not. If the media don’t tell you that, so much the better for Obamacare. But is life and death something to play spin games about?

Sometimes, the death penalty is best outcome

One born every minute I

t could have been worse. Some years ago, I had just spent the last of my savings to have a British convertible restored. I was a master then at buying high and selling low. Nonetheless, desperate for cash, I was eager to sell. I figured I could get $4,900 for the car, but I was also a master at poor timing: Only a fool would sell a convertible just before winter. My newspaper ads generated no calls. My for-sale sign in the window generated only one lead. He was a 40-ish-looking fellow, who had arrived in a brand-new Infiniti. His clothes were impeccable, his presentation flawless. In short order, he told me about his distributor OPINION business; he provided specialty Tom supplies to hair Purcell salons in a threeâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; state region. He told me he was looking for a sports car as a gift for his girlfriend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that she longed for a red British convertible. He looked over the car carefully, praising me for the quality of the restoration. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gladly pay my full asking price, in cash â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even joked that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t asking enough â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so long as his mechanic could give it a once-over. I handed him the keys without hesitation. He was, after all, the car buyer I had dreamed of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This car is in excellent mechanical condition,â&#x20AC;? he said, smiling, when he returned an hour later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could I come by tomorrow with a cashierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s check to finalize the deal?â&#x20AC;? Of course he could! I slept peacefully that night. I was in a fine mood all the

next day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; until I arrived home from work to see my garage door open and my British sports car gone! The fellow didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive my car to his mechanic, you see. He drove to a hardware store and had a key made. My stupidity didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there, regrettably. Clever fellow that I was, I had hidden the title â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, the title! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a crevice under the rear seat. The silver-

Even stupid people catch a break now and again. tongued con man found it. He drove my prized British sports car to a used-car lot and, forging my signature on my title, sold it to the dealer for a lousy $1,600. That should have been the worst of it, but it was not. Eager to reduce my insurance costs, and certain the con man would buy my car, I had called my agent and told him to cancel my coverage the following day. He did as I asked â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both of us unaware that the cancellation would commence at 12:01 a.m.

the following day, some six hours before the con man stole my car. Thankfully for me, even stupid people catch a break now and again. An off-duty policeman spotted my car at the used-car dealership and it was eventually returned. The used-car dealer was the only one to suffer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was out 1,600 bucks. When I testified at the con manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial, I would learn that he was a master thief who had been in and out of jail his entire life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also meet six others whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been duped the very same way he duped me. We all agreed he was a master at tuning into our wants and worries and pretending to be exactly what we needed him to be. In any event, the incident haunted and embarrassed me for years, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trouble me anymore. At least Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one of the 63 million Americans who fell for that â&#x20AC;&#x153;hope and changeâ&#x20AC;? nonsense.

o one tries to deny how malicious and wrong murder, rape and torture are. At least no one I know or attempt to associate with does. However, I do know quite a few people who will argue against the death penalty. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard a great many debates about the issue and tried to see both sides without my personal opinion hindering my ability to accept my â&#x20AC;&#x153;opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? debate as logical and even the right choice. But I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. And I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but wonder if those who argue against the death penalty would change their stance on the matter if it was their wife, child, parent or friend whose life was ruined by the assault or whose life was taken. Sometimes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to think with your head, and sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close to someone who has been victimized, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to stay objective and not see the death penalty as a sufficient punishment for a person who could mercilessly destroy the life of another without the slightest flicker of regret. I am not proposing this sort of capital punishment should be used frequently but I definitely think it should be used. I know that letting your feelings dictate a decision as serious as quite literally life or death wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be professional of anyone involved, but thankfully, logic backs up the idea that the death penalty should be used for severe offenders.

ers money, it is used for multiple causes. One of those causes is keeping prisoners alive, which cost over $20,000 a TEEN VIEW year. Now it may seem like Hailey a cruel thing Hendrix to say but I â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; can think of better uses for $20,000, none of which involve keeping an unremorseful killer living. When someone takes it upon themselves to end the life of an innocent child â&#x20AC;Ś or anyone at all for that matter, how is it fair, how is it just that their hearts get to continue beating while their victims are dead to the world forever? Some acts are too wicked, too twisted to deserve leniency. When someone, without a shadow of a doubt, viciously slaughters another human being, how can we stomach the thought of letting him or her live out the rest of his/her life when their victims werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given that luxury? Centuries ago, execution was the consequence for many crimes much less despicable than murder. Thankfully, we have reformed our ways and become a little less savage, and small offenses can punished in less extreme ways. But when the true savage is able to walk away from a courtroom filled with grieving family members, where is the justice?

Pressure builds for pastor who wants to burn Quran GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The government turned up the pressure Tuesday on the head of a small Florida church who plans to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11, warning him that doing so could endanger U.S. troops and Americans everywhere. But the Rev. Terry Jones insisted he would go ahead with his plans, despite criticism from the top U.S. general in Afghanistan, the White House and the State Department, as well as a host of religious leaders. Jones, who is known for posting signs proclaiming that Islam is the devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religion, says the Constitution gives him the right to publicly set

Microbes are eating BP oil without using up oxygen WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Government scientists studying the BP disaster are reporting the best possible outcome: Microbes are consuming the oil in the Gulf without depleting the oxygen in the water and creating â&#x20AC;&#x153;dead zonesâ&#x20AC;? where fish cannot survive. Outside scientists said this so far vindicates the difficult and muchdebated decision by BP

and the government to use massive amounts of chemical dispersants deep underwater to break up the oil before it reached the surface. Oxygen levels in some places where the BP oil spilled are down by 20 percent, but that is not nearly low enough to create dead zones, according to the 95-page report released Tuesday.

FDA warns green tea makers WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Federal health regulators have issued warnings to the makers of Canada Dry ginger ale and Lipton tea for making unsubstantiated nutritional claims about their green tea-flavored beverages. In a warning letter issued Aug. 30, the Food and Drug Administration takes issue with the labeling of Canada Dry Sparkling Green Tea Ginger Ale. The agency issued a similar letter Aug. 23

to Unilever Inc., over website and product labeling for its Lipton Green Tea. Food processors have been adding vitamins and nutrients to their products to make them more appealing to health-conscious consumers. But the FDA letter to Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, which makes Canada Dry, states that the agency â&#x20AC;&#x153;does not consider it appropriate to fortify snack foods such as carbonated beverages.â&#x20AC;?

Officials mull spanking policy BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville Board of Education on Tuesday night delayed a vote on revisions to the system’s policy for management of student behavior. The board voted unanimously to table the policy change that would include guidelines for corporal punishment. The board is discussing the changes to the policy because of new state legislation approved earlier this year, said Thomasville City Schools Associate Superintendent James Carmichael.

“We are required to update our policy on the management of student behavior, but part of that is corporal punishment,” Carmichael told the board. “... We are asking that you put it on the table for 30 days for comment as we do on the vast majority of policies here.” Board members did not discuss the updates to the policy. According to Carmichael, the system does allow for the spanking of students as a last resort at its schools. Carmichael said the system had two cases last year when students were spanked by hand. “The law as it reads

right now doesn’t prohibit school boards from using corporal punishment, but a local school board can adopt a policy that would,” the associate superintendent said. “Ours has not. I think our superintendent and I agree with (the punishment) actually as long as it is not overused. “I think there are times when other measures don’t seem to work as well. Like I said, we always do it with parent permission and parent knowledge.” Carmichael said the principal in both cases last year felt like the spanking was justified. He said the prin-

cipal could see a change in the behavior of the child after the spanking. The proposed updates to the policy state corporal punishment will not be administered in the classroom with other students present. The student body also would be informed beforehand what general types of misbehavior could result in corporal punishment. An additional requirement would state that only the principal or assistant principal may administer the corporal punishment and it must be witnessed by another administrator or other certified school personnel.

A school administrator also must provide the student’s parent with notification that corporal punishment has been administered, according to the proposal. Administrators also would be required to provide the student’s parents with a written explanation of the reasons and the name of the second school official who was present within three school days of the request. Corporal punishment also would not be administered to a student who has a disability as defined by federal law. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

School district seeks ideas for parent program ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – It’s not enrollment time. Call it idea time. Guilford County Schools officials want parent education professionals and community groups to send in proposals for the district’s new Guilford Parent Academy program, which is scheduled to open in January. The proposal deadline is Sept. 15 for suggestions aimed at school success, tools for parents, health and wellness, and personal growth and development. The academy is a major initiative of Superintendent Mo Green’s strategic plan. The first parent academy or university was the Miami-Dade County School District’s Parent Academy, which opened in 2005. Charlotte’s Parent University has similar programs, as well as ones on applying for college, having effective parent-teacher conferences, preventing bullying and managing stress.

niques, experience in working with diverse groups and cultures, and use of technology, among others. The Guilford County Board of Education will use $1.5 million in federal grant funds for the program and an associated research project at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. UNCG is applying for and would receive the grant, which would provide $500,000 a year for three years from 2010 to 2013. The university will give $100,000 a year of that money to Guilford County Schools. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools funded parent programs largely through corporate donations.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Dr. George Thomas Wood III, former surgeon in High Point and chief of surgery of Hilton Head Hospital, died peacefully at his Hilton Head home on September 2. He was 76. Dr. Wood was born in Rochester, MN, to parents Dr. George Thomas Wood Jr. and Harriet Quale Wood. Growing up in High Point, NC, he was an all-star high school football player and Eagle Scout. He attended Duke University on a football scholarship and earned his M.D. from The University of North Carolina, and was president of his medical school senior class. He interned at Walter Reed Hospital, served as Commanding Officer of the 190th Medical Detachment in Germany, and completed his training at New York’s Roosevelt Hospital, where he was Chief Surgical Resident. Dr. Wood established a general surgery practice in High Point in 1966. In 1975 he moved to Hilton Head Island to help open Hilton Head Hospital, where he was the hospital’s first Chief of Surgery and later Chief of Staff. In 2009 Dr. Wood retired after more than 50 years of caring for patients. To his family, friends, and thousands of patients, Tom was known as a gentle man of uncanny intellect, dry wit and immeasurable kindness. He was a gifted diagnostician and surgeon, who could answer patients’ most distressing questions and ease their fears. His creativity and individuality was evident in all that he did: in his writing and painting, his dabbles in architecture and design, his culinary eccentricity, his myriad interests and friends.

SBI investigates school systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice of reporting crimes WINSTON-SALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The State Bureau of Investigation confirmed Tuesday that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking into allegations that employees at one North Carolina school system violated state laws about reporting possible crimes. The Winston-Salem Journal first reported the investigation Tuesday. Justice Department spokeswoman Noelle Talley later confirmed that the SBI is looking into the allegations about how the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school system reports possible crimes, including allegations of sexual misconduct. District Attorney Jim Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill requested the SBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help, Talley said. School officials are cooperating with Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, Superintendent Don Martin said. The system plans to hold meetings with principals and law enforcement officials to review reporting policy, he said. The school board also scheduled a special session for Tuesday evening. Martin declined to specifically comment about the meeting,

saying it was a personnel matter. The systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration will allow prosecutors to examine â&#x20AC;&#x153;several of our investigation files from the past. We will cooperate with the DA in every way possible we have nothing to hide and welcome the opportunity to clear up any concerns,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. State law requires that law enforcement to be notified immediately of potential criminal acts on campus. Retired District Attorney Tom Keith said prosecutors have had difficulty getting information from school officials on incidents involving sexual misconduct. Those cases include complaints against Dan Piggott, a former principal at Carver and Atkins high schools who pleaded guilty in 2009 to two counts of assault on a female after two female former employees said he had fondled and groped them. They also include a case involving a teacher at East Forsyth

who videotaped himself having sex with students in 1998 and an investigation into allegations of misconduct lodged against a teacher at Lewisville Elementary School in 2006. The Lewisville principal at the time was suspended with pay for a few months over his handling of those allegations before returning to work in January 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past, we learned that (school officials) have been less than forthcoming with us,â&#x20AC;? said Keith, who was the DA from 1990 to 2009. Winston-Salem police Chief Scott Cunningham said in an e-mail that the department has â&#x20AC;&#x153;concerns about past reporting practices and interpretations of guidelines. At this time, we have been and will continue to conduct meetings that we believe will clarify the issues and ensure that law enforcement is fully aware of everything that occurs on school property so that our children can be as safe as possible.â&#x20AC;?

South Florida transplant finds too many implants

ear Abby: I am a 46-year-old man who has been divorced for six months. I recently moved down to South Florida for a new job. I am trying out the dating scene, but it has been difficult because I was married for 10 years. Abby, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find decent, intelligent women down here. All the women I have dated so far have had breast implants. These not only look strange, but also feel uncomfortable during intimate moments. These women get a lot of looks from other men who gawk at their chests when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re together. Would it be wrong of me to ask a woman, say within the first few dates, if her breasts are real? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re big or small, I just want them real. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Needs A Real Woman in Florida Dear Needs A Real Woman: I do not recommend asking women you have just met if their breasts are â&#x20AC;&#x153;real.â&#x20AC;? It could lead to a punch in the nose. I am recommending you visit some dating sites and, in the area where you are asked to list â&#x20AC;&#x153;interests,â&#x20AC;? you state â&#x20AC;&#x153;intelligent women who have not had plastic surgery.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find many. Of course, whether you have what THEYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;RE looking for remains to be seen. P.S. One final thought: If a boob job (forgive the

ADVICE Dear Abby

vernacular) has been successful, it is difficult if not impossible to detect. I have this on good authority.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for two months and together for two years. While we were dating, I learned that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marioâ&#x20AC;? cheated on me during our first year of dating. When I confronted him, he told me he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why, but that he loved me with all his heart. A few months later, he asked me to marry him and I accepted. A few days ago I discovered that not only did he cheat on me with several women, but also with several men. Mario says he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to tell me about his past because it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;disgustingâ&#x20AC;? to him so he blocked it out of his mind. Had he told me all this before we married, I would not have gone through with it. I am now totally confused about his sexuality. Mario says it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a phaseâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was in the past. He says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a changed man and he wants to be with me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to believe anymore because all he does is lie to me. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Please help me. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brokenhearted And Confused in Texas

Dear Brokenhearted: The first thing you need to do is get checked for STDs and HIV, because you may have been exposed to some of them during the â&#x20AC;&#x153;phaseâ&#x20AC;? your husband â&#x20AC;&#x153;blocked out of his mind.â&#x20AC;?

A man who always lies isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a poor husband; he would make an even worse role model.

They performed together in Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Chaneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad, however, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just any clown. He was Mr. Clown, one of the most famous clowns in the United States ABOVE who was AND eventually BEYOND inducted into the Patty Jo Clown Hall Sawvel of Fame. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; By age 15, Rickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessing became a curse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be Junior or Mr. Clownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son. I wanted people to see me for who I was,â&#x20AC;? Rick said. So Rick decided create his own clown identity, Jots, that was exactly the opposite of his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad wore a big coat; I had a vest. Dad had highwater pants; I had large baggy pants. Dad had a giant tie that touched the floor; my tie was half that size. Dad wore a little hat; I wore a big hat,â&#x20AC;? Rick said. By this time, the fatherson duo had moved to Las Vegas, and Rick was determined to get his own gigs. A couple of years later, when his father suggested that he audition as the second Ronald McDonald clown in town, Rick agreed, only if his dad would not tell the judges they were related. The judges noticed that Rick was about the same height, build and personality as Earl, the current and only local Ronald McDonald. The judges insisted that Rick win the audition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad is only 16 years older than me, so by that time, we looked just like brothers,â&#x20AC;? Rick said. He took the job, feeling that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d won it fair and square, but it was clear to him that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to pick a different career path if he really wanted to have his own identity. So, after graduating from high school, Rick went to college to study construction and engineering. He began building waterfalls and fountains, while clowning on the side. Rick juggled this dual career in Las Vegas for 20 years before moving to the Triad. This year, Rick married his first love, Monica Murphy, a woman who learned the art of clowning from Rick when they were teenagers. Now, this Kernersville couple has decided to stop clowning around and get serious about their family business, Circus Daze, a fulltime professional clown company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to bring out the child in people whether they are 1-year-olds or 100-year-olds,â&#x20AC;? Rick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a clown is my destiny.â&#x20AC;?

Surgery may be the answer

ear Dr. Donohue: I have a facial pain. I suffer from trigeminal neuralgia. The slightest breeze on my face triggers excruciating pain. I had been on carbamazepine, but I had to stop taking it because it altered my thoughts and dreams. Now I take Tylenol. The pain is indescribable. What specialty doctor should I see? Please send any information you may have. – M.S.

BLONDIE

The trigeminal nerve is the nerve that relays facial sensations to the brain. Trigeminal neuralgia is attacks of indescribable pain due to misfiring of that nerve. It also goes by the name tic douloureux (dewluh-RUE), French for “painful spasm.” As you describe, a light breeze blowing on the face, chewing food, talking or brushing the teeth can be a switch that turns on a violent jolt of horrible pain, like being stabbed in the face with an ice pick. The attack lasts but a short time. However, a series of attacks can take place. Carbamazepine (Tegretol) is one of the initial medicines prescribed to control attacks. There are many others. You might want to try oxcarbazepine (Trileptal). A surgical procedure – microvascular decompression – is potentially a way to end the attacks. A neurosurgeon frees the trigeminal from an encircling artery. Pulsations from that artery irritate the nerve and trigger attacks of pain. A shock

absorbing material – Teflon, for example – is placed between the nerve and artery HEALTH to prevent the chancDr. Paul es of future Donohue compres■■■ sion by the artery. Other procedures include inactivating the nerve via the gamma knife. It’s not a knife. It’s a focused application of gamma rays on the nerve. Doctors also can inject the nerve with a variety of substances. The specialists to see are a neurologist and neurosurgeon. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 70-year-old man diagnosed with osteopenia seven years ago, and I am taking Fosamax. I also have had kidney stones. I have a dilemma. My primary physician says I should take foods containing calcium. My urologist told me to stop taking additional calcium. He fears I will have more stones. Do I take in more or less calciumrich foods? – C.C. The most common kind of kidney stone is a calcium oxalate stone. Not so long ago, standard treatment for these stones was a low-calcium diet. However, studies showed that a low-calcium diet not only did not prevent stone recurrence, but it encouraged it. The most important aspect in averting new

stones is an increase in fluid intake. Drink 2 to 2.5 liters (approximately 2 to 2.5 quarts) of fluid a day. You’ll know you’re getting enough fluid if your urine is colorless or pale yellow. Lowering your salt intake is another way to decrease urinary calcium. Dear Dr. Donohue: Please help me make some sense of my beloved husband’s death. He passed away suddenly in February of this year. He was diagnosed with diabetes in 1999 and promptly lost 40 pounds. In 2006 he had a stroke, which left him with a weakness on one side. Does stress cause a stroke? He was 75 when he died. Two days before, he had driven himself to the doctor with a minor respiratory infection. The doctor noticed nothing else wrong. – P.P. Without an autopsy, determining the cause of death is, at best, a reasonable guess. Even though your husband did all he could to control his diabetes, that illness still can take its toll on arteries. It encourages artery clogging. With such suddenness to his death, it suggests he had either another stroke or a heart attack. Your husband’s attention to his diabetes extended his life to 75 years. I know that is too short a life for you, but it could have been even shorter. so resolute in caring for his illness. Stress can be a factor in heart attacks and strokes.

Walters, Letterman compare surgeries NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Barbara Walters is feeling wonderful after heart surgery in May â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and has practically no scar, she added Tuesday as she returned to active duty on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Viewâ&#x20AC;? after taking the summer off for recovery. Joining the welcome party was David Letterman. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late Showâ&#x20AC;? host had open-heart surgery a decade ago, and he and Walters spent much of his appearance gratefully comparing notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plumbing, really.

National smoking rate still stuck at 1 in 5 adults ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; U.S. smoking rates continue to hold steady, at about one in five adults lighting up regularly, frustrated health officials reported Tuesday. About 21 percent of U.S. adults were smokers in 2009, about the

same percentage as the year before, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The smoking rate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which fell dramatically since the 1960s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has basically been flat since about 2004. Teen smoking, at nearly

20 percent, has not been improving lately, either. Health officials believe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost momentum because of cuts to antitobacco campaigns and shrewd marketing by cigarette companies. The new report suggests that more than 46

million American adults still smoke cigarettes â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragic,â&#x20AC;? said CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden, who calls smoking the No. 1 preventable cause of death in the United States.

Some experts were disheartened by a CDC finding in a second report that nearly all children who live with a smoker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 98 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have measurable tobacco toxins in their body.

Make it easy Weeknight cooking gets high-flavor makeover BY J.M. HIRSCH AP FOOD EDITOR

eeknight cooking is no time for nuance. Meals must stand and be noticed. They must cut through the clutter of weekday chaos. And they must do it quickly and without fuss, mess, or toil. It’s a simple premise. Let highflavor ingredients do most of the work. Foods that taste great going into the pot need less work from you to taste great when they come out. I’m talking about the Parmesan cheeses, balsamic vinegars, jalapenos, chorizos and wasabis of the world. In my cookbook, “High Flavor, Low Hirsch Labor: Reinventing Weeknight Cooking” (released Tuesday) ease and flavor rule. Because bland foods just don’t satisfy. We crave assertive foods – rich chocolate cakes, savory chilies and sauces, sharp cheeses, bright, citrusy desserts. These flavors comfort and satisfy. Getting those flavors to the table, and fast, is at the heart of how I cook. And it doesn’t require any special skills or hours at the stove. It’s just a matter of taking good raw ingredients, adding intensely flavorful stuff, then eating. I’m not big on fancy techniques. I’m not a chef, and I’ve never worked in a restaurant. I’m just a working dad who loves good food and won’t sacrifice eating well just because I have a crazy life. Here are some of my favorite high-flavor ingredients. All are easy to get and even easier to use.

CITRUS JUICE AND ZEST Citrus effortlessly brightens and sharpens flavors. The juices are best in marinades, dressings, sauces, even soups (try a splash in chicken and tomato soups). The zest (the thin outer layer of colorful skin, not the white pith beneath it) is great in baked goods, sauces, and sautes (add it to a saute of kale with garlic and grated Parmesan cheese). While fresh juice is nice, bottled is easier and often cheaper. As for the zest, you can use a vegetable peeler to remove it, but a wandstyle grater is better.

GINGER Fresh ginger (sold as a funky brown root in the produce section) has a peppery sweet flavor and is essential to Asian cooking. Also try it grated over steamed and buttered potatoes or mixed into a vinaigrette. The best place to store fresh ginger is the freezer. Not only does it keep for months, it is easier to grate. And as long as you use a very fine grater, there is no need to peel it first. Dry ground ginger (sold with the other spices) is excellent in meat rubs, chili and vegetable sautes. Its flavor is milder than fresh. Crystallized ginger has been candied. Sold cut into a variety of sizes, it can be eaten as is, or minced diced, or ground. It’s also wonderful finely chopped and simmered in homemade cranberry sauce.

Photo shows a spicy black bean, sausage and rice burrito from J.M. Hirsch’s cookbook, “High Flavor, Low Labor: Reinventing Weeknight Cooking.” If you want to crank the heat, splash some hot sauce onto the rice and beans, or sprinkle diced jalapeno peppers inside before rolling up the tortilla. HOT SAUCE

SALT Many foods – even sweets – simply taste flat without a pinch of salt. It doesn’t take much, and it doesn’t take the pricey gourmet stuff. The best bet is kosher salt, which is inexpensive and easy to pinch. Keep a bowl of it next to the stove.

CINNAMON

WINE

In the U.S., cinnamon makes us think of sweets and baked goods. In the rest of the world, it’s a savory seasoning that shows up in meat rubs, vegetable stews and curries, as well as sprinkled over grains, such as couscous. And with good reason. Cinnamon imparts a mellow, delicious warmth and aroma. Try a little in your next batch of chili. Or combine it with garlic powder, cumin and salt for an awesome steak or chicken rub.

It’s all about getting sauced. Or is that making sauce? Whichever, wine is great for deglazing pans. When wine is cooked, it reduces and the flavors are intensified. If the wine tastes good, this is good. If the wine tastes bad, this is bad. So while you don’t need to spend a fortune, skip the rotgut. Use whatever you drink. For cooking and drinking, I’m pretty happy with $10 bottles. Use reds for beef- and tomato-based dishes; stick with whites for everything else.

This is my secret ingredient in hummus and cheese sauces. A dash brightens the other flavors without adding significant heat. Try it in macaroni and cheese and in burgers. Use it to perk up mayonnaise for a sandwich or potato salad. Also try it in vinaigrette on a hearty salad (something with meat and cheese in it). There are innumerable hot sauces; experiment until you find a favorite.

ANCHOVIES For many people, anchovies are a no-go zone. Too bad. They are incredibly savory, inexpensive and easy to use. Best yet, you don’t need to eat them whole to appreciate them. Place a few in a hot pan and stir around; they will melt into a flavorful paste. Now continue with your saute. You’ll never know the anchovies are there, but the taste will be tremendous. This is great with

sauteed hearty greens, such as kale and chard, as well as for pan sauces tossed with pasta. They also can be pureed into salad dressing. Because they are salty, be sure to taste as you cook.

BALSAMIC VINEGAR A good balsamic can be breathtaking. It has an intensely sweet and mouth-puckering flavor that is awesome drizzled with olive oil onto a salad. It makes a great dipping sauce for chunks of Parmesan cheese and dark chocolate. When it comes to red sauce, it can make the difference between so-so and superb. For a great dessert sauce (over shortcake, angel food cake and cheesecake) simmer equal parts chopped fresh strawberries and balsamic vinegar until reduced and thick. For most cooking purposes, inexpensive varieties are fine. For dipping, consider splurging on the good (aged) stuff.

Consider rotisserie chicken a culinary blank slate BY J.M. HIRSCH AP FOOD EDITOR

nce again, the rotisserie chicken rescues the weeknight cook. And I’m fairly confident I’ve never actually eaten a rotisserie chicken as one would a traditional roasted chicken – as in, slabs or chunks of meat hacked from the bird. In my cooking, these chickens are a not-soraw (thankfully!) ingredient on which to build the rest of the meal without adding any cooking time. As in this recipe, which tosses the meat with grated Parmesan cheese, blanched asparagus and some pasta. Best yet, the recipe is totally versatile. Substitute (and cook the same way) any firm veggie for the asparagus. Broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, whatever. Same for the cheese and pasta. Use what you have or what you like. And while fresh pastas cook quickly, any pasta – including whole-grain – works well.

Fettuccini with Parmesan, Chicken and Asparagus Start to finish: 25 minutes Servings: 4 1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces 12-ounce package fresh fettuccini 3 cups shredded cooked chicken 1/2 cup chicken broth Pinch red pepper flakes 1 cup grated Parmesan 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces Salt and ground black pepper, to taste Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2 minutes, or until bright green and just barely tender. Use a slotted spoon and remove to a plate. Return the water to a boil.

At the end of nearly every training session, Matt Whitmore downs a pint of milk straight from the bottle. “I do it pretty religiously,” said Whitmore, 25, a gym trainer in London. He first started drinking milk after exercise about 10 years ago when he couldn’t afford expensive supplements or protein shakes. “Milk helps me recover faster and I feel great afterwards,” he said. “And now, I hate to train without it.” Researchers are giving scientific support to a view that Whitmore vouches for from experience: that milk may be just as good or even better than sports drinks for serious athletes recovering from exercise. The health benefits of milk – which has carbohydrates, electrolytes, calcium and vitamin D – have long been established. But for athletes, milk also contains the two proteins best for rebuilding muscles: casein and whey. Muscles get damaged after an intense bout of aerobic exercise like running, playing football, or cycling. The casein and whey proteins in milk are precisely what the body needs to regenerate muscles fast. In a study published in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism, researchers found people who drank milk after training were able to exercise longer in their next session than people who had sports drinks or water.

Add the pasta to the water and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-low, combine the cooked chicken, broth and red pepper flakes. Heat until warmed through. In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, pasta and chicken with broth. Add the butter and Parmesan, then toss well until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

I continue a series on entry management. You shouldn’t need me to tell you that if declarer needs entries, the trump suit may be the place to look. At six spades, South won the first club in dummy and let the ten of trumps ride. West won and led another club, and South next tried the hearts: He took the ace, ruffed a heart, led a trump to dummy and ruffed a heart. If the hearts had split 3-3 (or if a defender had held K-Q doubleton), South could have drawn trumps and led to the king of diamonds to take the good hearts. But as the cards lay, South lost a diamond.

FIRST CLUB South can use the long hearts but must manage his entries. South wins the first club in his hand, leads a heart to the ace and ruffs a heart with a middle trump. When East-West follow, South leads a low trump. West wins and leads another club, and South wins in dummy, ruffs a heart, leads a trump to dummy and ruffs a heart. He can draw trumps and go to the king of diamonds for the good hearts.

The support isn’t as strong as I’d like, but partner neither raised hearts nor bid one spade, hence he must have at least four cards in diamonds. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

Eugene Street, Greensboro, North Carolina, on SEPTEMBER 22, 2010 at 10:10 A.M. the real estate located in Guilford County, North Carolina being more particularly described as follows (the “Property”): BEING all of Lot 6, Final Plat of Penns Grove, A.K.A.

The highest bidder at the sale may be required to make a cash deposit with the Substitute Trustee of up to five (5%) percent of the bid, or $750.00, whichever is greater, at the time the bid is accepted. Any successful bidder shall be required to tender the remaining balance of the successful bid amount in cash or certified funds at the time the Substitute Trustee tenders to such bidder, or attempts to deliver to such bidder, a deed for the Property. Should such successful bidder fail to pay the full balance of the successful bid at that time, that bidder shall remain liable on the bid as provided by North Carolina General Statutes Section 45-21.30. The Property is being sold subject to all prior and superior deeds of trust, liens, unpaid taxes, restrictions, easements, assessments, leases, and other matters, if any, which, as a matter of law, survive the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, provided that the inclusion of this clause in this Notice of Substitute Trusteeʼs Sale of Real Estate shall not be deemed to validate or otherwise give effect to any such matter or other right which, as a matter of law, does not survive the foreclosure of the Deed of Trust. The Property is being sold “AS IS, WHERE IS.” Neither the Substitute Trustee, Holder, nor the officers, directors, attorneys, employees or authorized agents or representatives of either Substitute Trustee or Holder make any warranty relating to title, possession, quiet enjoyment, or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at or relating to the Property and any and all responsibilities or liabilities arising out of or in any way related to such conditions are expressly disclaimed. An order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes Section 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the Clerk of Superior Court of the county in which the Property is sold. Any person who occupies the Property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving this Notice of Substitute Trusteeʼs Sale of Real Estate, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 daysʼ written notice to the landlord. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. The sale will be reported to the Court and will remain open for advance or upset bids for a period of ten (10) days. If no advance bids are filed with the Clerk of Court, the sale will be confirmed.

Wilber blasts Deacs’ effort BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

TOP 25 POLL

WINSTON-SALEM – A lopsided victory isn’t enough to keep Wake Forest senior defensive end Kyle Wilber from unloading his criticism. Wilber saw several things that his unit did not do correctly in a 53-13 demolition of Presbyterian on Thursday and believes a similar effort will scuttle any chance of stopping a potent Duke attack led by quarterback Sean Renfree on Saturday in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams at BB&T Field. “We were terrible,” Wilber said. “We lined up in the wrong formations, we were blitzing corners when we weren’t supposed to be blitzing. We ran the wrong coverages. We weren’t disciplined at all.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

More AP Top 25 voters are buying into Boise State as the No. 1 team in the country. Boise State gained seven firstplace votes and closed in on No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Ohio State as the top three teams in the first regular season Associated Press football poll held their spots from the preseason. Wilber credited first-game jitters as the reason for the mistakes, which allowed the overmatched Blue Hose to throw for 292 yards and two touchdowns. “We knew what we were supposed to be doing,” Wilber said. “It was just the blood flowing in

the first game. We were trying to make plays and people just messed up and forgot what we were doing.” Wake came up with just one interception and was sporadic in putting pressure on Presbyterian quarterback Brandon Miley, coming up with just four sacks for a loss of 16 yards. Wilber, who had three of the sacks and led the way with six solo tackles, believes the Deacons must be much better than that if they are to contain Renfree, who completed 31of-39 passes for 350 yards and two touchdowns against Elon. “If we don’t get any pressure on them or the defensive backs don’t cover, they are going to pick us apart,” Wilber said. Coach Jim Grobe acknowledged the Deacons did make fundamental mistakes, but attributed some

of the slips to inexperience. Wake lists eight freshmen and five sophomores among the 22 players on the two-deep defensive depth chart. “What he was referring to is we made too many mistakes,” Grobe said. “Coaches get bent out of shape when they see you not in the tight gaps or in the right coverages. A couple of times we blew coverages. Sometimes we were overloaded or under-represented to one side or the other. It’s easy for a guy to think we played terrible. But we played good in spurts. But sometimes we didn’t get lined up right and sometimes we didn’t execute some of the fundamentals we’ve been taught. But we had a lot of new guys out there, so it wasn’t unexpected.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

Coach’s resignation surprises UNC players BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

CHAPEL HILL — The resignation of North Carolina associate head coach John Blake on Sunday came as a shock to his players. Blake, who has drawn the interest of the NCAA because of his connection to prominent NFL agent Gary Wichard, said in a prepared statement that he stepped down because he had become a distraction. His players, however, said they did not believe Blake had become a distraction. “It was a shock to everybody,” junior defensive lineman Quinton Coples said. “We never would have saw this coming. We never would have thought it would come to this point where he had left us. “When he told us, it was shock to all of us.” Coples said Blake, who was regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country, was more than just a coach and was regarded as a father figure. Freshman defensive lineman Kareem Martin, who was recruited by Blake, said

YATES HONORED

–

GREENSBORO (AP) — North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates and two Maryland players are among the Atlantic Coast Conference’s players of the week. The league on Tuesday announced that Terrapins defensive lineman Joe Vellano was honored, as was defensive back Kenny Tate. Florida State’s Zebrie Sanders, Georgia Tech’s Sean Bedford and Virginia’s Oday Aboushi were chosen co-offensive linemen of the week. he was the best coach he ever had. “Coach Blake, he was a very religious man and just tried to … teach us how to be a man, teach us more than just football,” Martin said. The loss of Blake not only upset his players but also has caused a shuffle in the coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Everett Withers will take over the linebackers while Art Kaufman, the current linebackers coach, will shift over to the defensive line.

McNeill trims Pirates’ sails GREENVILLE (AP) — Ruffin McNeill’s first game at East Carolina wound up being one of the most memorable victories in school history, won on a last-second heave into the end zone. He says the first step toward a successful encore comes with humility. “I’m pretty good at bringing them down, bringing them back to Earth,” McNeill said Tuesday. “I have no

problem bringing up points (to improve on). You watch film and you’ll find some things.” There’s no time to dwell on the Tulsa victory, which East Carolina won 51-49 on Dominique Davis’ 33-yard touchdown pass to Justin Jones as time expired. The Pirates (1-0, 1-0 Conference USA) play host to another league opponent when Memphis visits this weekend.

Sam Querrey of the United States leaves the court after losing to Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland in the fourth round of the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York on Tuesday. Wawrinka won the match 7-6(9) 6-7(5) 7-5 4-6 6-4 to eliminate the last American left.

Last hope for American men ousted NEW YORK (AP) — Stanislas Wawrinka beat Sam Querrey in five sets to put two Swiss men in a Grand Slam quarterfinals for the first time in the Open era — and keep the Americans out of the U.S. Open quarters for the second straight year. Wawrinka won 7-6 (9), 6-7 (5), 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 on Tuesday to join a countryman whose presence this deep in a major tournament is just assumed: Roger Federer. Not so for Wawrinka.

The 25-year-old had been 0-5 in the round of 16 at Grand Slams. The U.S. men, meanwhile, had at least one quarterfinalist at their home major each of the first 41 years of the Open era. That changed in 2009, and now it’s happened again. Querrey himself is still searching for his first Grand Slam quarterfinal berth. He had his chances Tuesday. So did the 25thseeded Wawrinka, as momentum swung back and

forth as quickly as the wind whipped around Arthur Ashe Stadium. The two players traded mistakes and big shots for nearly 41⁄2 hours. No. 20 Querrey wasted three break points in the third game of the final set, which seemed headed to another tiebreaker until Wawrinka made one final push leading 5-4. Querrey fought off one match point with a lob that was just high enough to force deuce.

HIT AND RUN

here have you gone Boog Powell, Brooks Robinson and Jim Palmer? I couldn’t believe it when I read recently that the Baltimore Orioles are guaranteed to post their 13th consecutive losing season. Thirteen straight losing seasons? That’s not the Oriole Way. Since making back-toback playoff appearances in 1996 and ‘97, the Birds have failed to take flight. It’s been an empty nest full of disappointment.

Consider this – Baltimore has lost 90 or more games seven times since 1994. That’s a far cry from the glory years of 1964-85, when the Orioles captured three World Series crowns, six pennants and made eight of their 10 postseason appearances. Those Orioles set a remarkable standard for consistency and sound fundamental play. Amazingly, the O’s posted 18 straight winning seasons from ‘68 until ‘85 and recorded 22 winning seasons in 23 years. The only

losing mark in that span was a 76-85 record in 1967. It’s kinda sad to see Baltimore floundering 30-plus games back in the American League East. That’s been a fairly common sight in recent seasons. Here’s hoping the Orioles find their Way again soon.

Tiger Woods was a no-brainer as a captain’s pick for the Ryder Cup. Rickie Fowler? That required a little more than deep thought. “It just came down to feelings,” captain Corey Pavin said. “I had a gut feeling about Rickie.” Fowler, the 21-yearold mop top who only turned pro 11 months ago, made history Tuesday as the first PGA Tour rookie on the American team and the first captain’s pick to have never won on tour. He was the only big mystery when Pavin announced his four picks at the New York Stock Exchange. Pavin also chose a pair of major champions, Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson, both of whom have played the Ryder Cup on the road. The matches will be held Oct. 1-3 at Celtic Manor in Wales. The Americans won two years ago in Kentucky.

High Point rivals set to clash PREP FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK:

ootball fans will be treated to back-to-back weeks of fun Friday nights when a pair of rivalry games unfold. T. Wingate Andrews visits Southwest Guilford this Friday in a prelude to the annual Andrews-High Point Central showdown on the 17th. The round-robin – and quite unofficial – city SPORTS football tournament will Steve conclude on Oct. Hanf 29 when Central ■■■ visits Southwest Guilford for a Piedmont Triad 4A Conference game. “It’ll give whoever wins those games the early bragging rights for the city,” Bison coach Wayne Jones said of the upcoming contests. “Southwest and us play each other later on in the season, but it definitely sets the tone for who gets to be chairman of the city, so to speak.” Central beat both city rivals last year, while Andrews took both in 2008. Central and Southwest did not play each other from 1999 to 2007. The Bison and Raiders have always had that “city school” rivalry that gets so much attention every year, but the Cowboys are eager to make this a three-horse race for annual bragging rights. “Those two were the High Point schools and we’re a High Point school, too, but we’re kind of on that north end,” Southwest coach Scott Schwarzer said. “We’re kind of the new kid on the block, comparatively speaking, and we haven’t had a whole lot of success in our history against those three schools.” Schwarzer has been heavily involved in all three rivalry games. He served as an assistant coach for four years at Central prior to his arrival three years ago at Southwest. “Central’s started 3-0, Andrews has played some good football teams to start the year,” said Schwarzer, whose Cowboys boast a 3-0 mark. “It’s really neat, a lot of fun.” For the fans, coaches and – certainly – the players. “Those kids go to middle school with each other, play rec football together,” Jones said. Andrews coach Rodney McKoy echoed those sentiments: “They all spend time with each other. You always want to win the games against the teams you know, so these next two weeks are huge for us.”

NO PLACE LIKE HOME High Point Christian Academy’s first varsity home game turned out to be a remarkable evening from start to finish. Friday’s contest at the High Point Athletic Complex was no contest as the Cougars romped 52-0 over Village Christian of Fayetteville. Excited players doused coach Steve Lechner following the first-year varsity program’s first varsity victory. “They did shower me, managed to catch me by surprise, which was impressive,” Lechner said. “But it felt good. I never felt so happy to be that cold.” Fans arrived early at the venue, which normally plays host to soccer matches. A small set of bleachers behind the home bench was filled with Village’s fans. Cougar backers came out en masse in one wave on the road just behind the bleachers and a second group a little higher up the bank. “We had a great crowd, a lot of energy in the crowd,” Lechner praised. “I think they figured out how to be a football crowd and they were in it from start to finish. A lot of them stayed to congratulate the players at the end, encourage them, and that’s just the atmosphere we have at that school.” There were plenty of kudos to go around, considering everybody from senior new-

High Point Christian Academy’s Matt Haas eludes Village Christian’s Matthew Matz (34) and Shane Blanks (82) during Friday night’s win. comer Matt Haas – totally new to the sport – to one of the few varsity freshmen in Rick Mack made key plays. “We played a complete game, which is what we’ve been looking to do,” Lechner said. “That was neat to see. We had a lot of different players contribute.”

GROWING PAYNES FOR GLENN First-year head coach Aldine Payne has provided some excitement for Glenn fans this year, but the longtime assistant is still seeking his first win. The Bobcats dropped a 24-21 decision in overtime last week to West Forsyth. This week, it was 42-41 Carver in overtime after Glenn elected to go for the win with a two-point try. “I thought we could have scored, the momentum was there,” Payne said. “They made a better play. We let the kids know we were playing to win. I just didn’t know if we

could stop them defensively (in later overtime periods). We were worn out.” Glenn’s new offense provided plenty of thrills with QB Cameron Campbell rushing for 173 yards and Josh Hawkins adding 120. But Carver’s offense carved up the young Bobcat defense. “Our offense is keeping us in the games,” Payne said. “Defensively we’ve just got to get better.” The Bobcats will try to put it all together this week against powerful Mount Tabor, with Glenn’s final nonconference game coming Sept. 17 at Reagan. Payne remains eager for that first win, but not for his personal won-loss record. “That’s what’s keeping me going – we’ve just got a great group of kids,” Payne said. “I want it for them more than I want it for me.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Economic pain fails to diminish NEW YORK (AP) – Americans’ economic struggles persisted in July, largely unchanged from the previous month, according to The Associated Press’ monthly analysis of conditions around the country. Nationally, unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy rates didn’t budge from June. Yet the economic pain varied among localities, depending on their economic bases. Stress eased in counties whose work forces lean toward areas like agriculture, mining, wholesale trade and finance. By contrast, counties with many employees in the retail and real es-

BRIEFS Burger King adds pancakes NEW YORK – Burger King is introducing nine new breakfast items including blueberry biscuits and pancake platters and planning a major breakfast marketing blitz – all with an eye toward eating some of McDonald’s morning business. The chain said the move Tuesday is its biggest introduction of new items at one time ever. It also includes iced coffee from Seattle’s Best.

Oracle names Hurd co-president SAN FRANCISCO – Oracle Corp. has hired former HewlettPackard Co. CEO Mark Hurd to help lead the database software maker in a pivotal moment in Oracle’s 33year history as it tries to muscle in on more of HP’s turf. Hurd’s appointment Monday as co-president of Oracle comes a month after he resigned from HP following a sexual harassment investigation.

Oil prices slide on EU reports NEW YORK – The price of crude and other energy products retreated as fears about the global economy resurfaced following reports that European banks may have more risky government debt on their books than previously thought.

tate industries suffered higher distress in July, according to a statistical analysis by AP. Economic stress declined month to month in July in about 54 percent of the nation’s 3,141 counties and in 24 of the 50 states, the AP’s Economic Stress Index shows. The AP’s index calculates a score for each county and state from 1 to 100 based on unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy rates. A higher score indicates more economic stress. Under a rough rule of thumb, a county is considered stressed when its score exceeds 11. The AP’s index found

the average county’s Stress score in July was 10.5, unchanged from the previous month. About 42 percent of counties were found to be stressed. That, too, was unchanged from June. Nevada, with a score of 22.1, was again the most stressed state. Put another way, 1 in 4.5 Nevadans in July was either unemployed, owned a home in some stage of foreclosure or had filed for bankruptcy. Rounding out the top five most-stressed states were Michigan (17.44), California (16.88), Florida (15.94) and Arizona (15.41). The healthiest state was North Dakota with a stress score of 4.24.

Gates Foundation admits flaws SEATTLE (AP) – The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has taken another baby step toward increased transparency, acknowledging in its annual report that the world’s largest charitable foundation is too secretive and hard to work with. The report, posted online Tuesday, includes the usual financial information and a look at the foundation’s plans. But it also offers a glimpse of the organization’s attempts to be more open. CEO Jeff Raikes draws attention in the report to a grantee survey that gave the foundation poor marks for communicating its goals and strategies, and for confusing people with its complicated grantmaking process. Raikes originally released the survey results in June – a day before Bill Gates made headlines for

launching a campaign with investor Warren Buffett to get other American billionaires to give at least half their wealth to charity. Few but charity insiders noticed the unfavorable review, and the foundation could have let it fade into obscurity. Instead, Raikes points out the results for all to see in the annual report, right next to his letter outlining the foundation’s priorities for the near future. The editor of the Chronicle of Philanthropy believes the foundation is clearly making an effort to improve its communications. Stacy Palmer credits Raikes, with his years at Microsoft Corp., for knowing the importance of customer relations. But she thinks the foundation has a ways to go.

Some homeowners to get help WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration is trying to jump-start its sputtering attempts to tackle the foreclosure crisis with an effort to assist homeowners who owe more on their properties than their homes are worth. The Federal Housing Administration will allow lenders to give these borrowers refinanced loans if the lender agrees to forgive at least 10 percent of the original mortgage amount. The plan, which was announced in March, is being

made available starting Tuesday. The FHA said in a document published last month that between 500,000 and 1.5 million homeowners are projected to be helped. However, the Obama administration’s previous efforts to stem foreclosures have fallen far short of expectations. Analysts at Barclays Capital estimated last month that the refinancing program would only aid between 200,000 and 300,000 homeowners.

Stocks fall as debt worries return NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks closed lower Tuesday following new worries about Europe’s debt problems. Treasury prices rose and gold settled at a new high as investors sought out safe assets. U.S. stocks followed European markets lower after news reports said banks in Europe may have more risky government debt on their books than was disclosed during “stress tests” earlier this year. That could mean fees from regulators and more capitalraising by the banks to bolster their balance sheets. Shares of major European banks including Barclays PLC and UBS fell, and the dollar rose against the euro. “The soundness of stress tests are, and continue to be, in question,” said Brian O’Reilly, president of the Collingwood Gro. The reports renewed worries about European government debt, which had flared earlier this year following a fiscal crisis in Greece that spread to other weak European economies and helped bring stocks worldwide. Stocks had been doing well last week, rallying on improved news about job growth and gains in manufacturing in the U.S. and China. The better economic news helped the market end higher for the week, breaking three straight weeks of losses.

Casey’s rejects buyout offer NEW YORK (AP) – The board of Casey’s General Stores Inc. rejected the latest takeover bid from convenience store operator Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., saying Tuesday that the $1.47 billion offer was too low. The Ankeny, Iowa, company also said it has received a higher preliminary proposal from an unnamed third party and has agreed to begin talks with that suitor. Its shares climbed almost 8 percent in morning trading. Canada’s Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns the Circle K brand in the U.S., has struggled to build support for its attempt to acquire Casey’s and has nominated eight people for election to the Casey’s board. Casey’s will hold its annual stockholders’ meeting on Sept. 23. The company runs convenience stores mostly in the Midwest.

RAYMONDVILLE, Texas (AP) – Tropical Storm Hermine gave a wet and windy punch to Texas on Tuesday but left only minor scrapes in the storm-weary Rio Grande Valley, which is proving resilient this hurricane season after taking a third tropical system on the chin. Hermine lost steam after crossing into Texas with tropical storm strength. A peeled-back motel roof in the coastal farming town of Raymondville and scattered power outages were about the worst leftover from the gusty, drenching storm that came and went quickly after

creeping up on Texas and Mexico in the warm Gulf waters over the long holiday weekend. “I think we’re lucky. It could’ve been worse,” said Art Nelson, sizing up the hulking aluminum shed that collapsed on a farming plow at his John Deere store in Raymondville. Mexico didn’t get off as easy. Hermine knocked out power for several hours in Matamoros and damaged about 20 homes, whose inhabitants were among 3,500 people who evacuated to shelters. About 1,000 families were still in shelters Tuesday morning.

Vegas dry spell ends, finally

Alain Bouchard, chief executive of Alimentation Couche-Tard, poses for a photo Aug. 31 at the company’s annual meeting in Laval, Quebec. Last week, Couche-Tard raised its offer to $38.50 per Casey’s share in cash from $36.75. The $1.47 billion total

price excludes about $528 million in Casey’s debt. Casey’s said Tuesday that the new bid “substantially

undervalues” the company and is not in the best interests of shareholders or the company.

EU OKs financial supervision deal BRUSSELS (AP) – European Union nations agreed to create new financial oversight institutions Tuesday, hoping to prevent a repeat of the government debt crisis that nearly left Greece bankrupt and brought the European banking system to its knees. The union’s 27 finance ministers failed to find common ground, however, on the introduction of a levy on banks or on a new tax on financial trading. The ministers – called Ecofin – decided to establish a new supervisory board over the financial industry and demand a more transparent sharing

of government budgetary information – a move prompted by the dubious accounting practices in Greece over the last few years. The systemic risk board will be chaired by European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet out of Frankfurt. It still needs the formal backing of the European Parliament, but that is expected later this month. This shows the willingness of European countries to “put behind national interests for the sake of Europe,” said Wolfgang Schaeuble, Germany’s finance minister.

Belgium’s finance minister Didier Reynders, who chaired the meeting, said stricter supervision was one of the most important lessons from the government debt crisis and insisted the deal was necessary now to make sure the new risk board begins work at the start of 2011. The ministers also approved a second installment of emergency loans – worth €9 billion ($11.5 billion) – for Greece after the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund praised the country for the efforts it has made since the massive €110 billion ($140 billion) bailout plan was agreed in May.

LAS VEGAS (AP) – Las Vegas’ sixth-longest dry streak has ended – barely – at 137 days. Meteorologist Faith Borden says the 0.01 inch of rain that fell Tuesday at McCarran International Airport was the first time more than a trace was record-

ed at the official weather station since April 22. The longest dry spell was 150 days in 1959. It’s been a summer of extremes in Las Vegas, where July’s average temperature of 96.2 was the hottest since records started being kept in 1935.

2 asteroids to whiz harmlessly past Earth PASADENA, Calif. (AP) – NASA says two small asteroids discovered just days ago will zip harmlessly past Earth today, a double flyby that should be visible through a telescope. The asteroids were discovered Sunday by the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona. The Minor Planet Center in Massachusetts,

which tracks asteroids and comets, determined there was no chance of an Earth collision. Asteroid 2010 RX30, thought to be 32 to 65 feet long, will pass within 154,000 miles of Earth shortly before 3 a.m. PDT today. The second one, dubbed 2010 RF12, will fly by about 11 hours later at a distance of about 49,000 miles.
