Redistricting hearing set

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Several options for redistricting kindergarten-througheighth-grade attendance lines in the Archdale-Trinity area will be presented to parents during a public hearing tonight at Trinity High School.

Randolph County Schools Superintendent Donald Andrews said the school system hopes to get public input on some of the options to change attendance lines for kindergarten through eighth grades in the Archdale-Trinity area. The public hearing will take place 6 p.m at the Trinity High School theater.

Andrews confirmed one of the options is converting Archdale Elementary School into an all sixthgrade school. He declined to comment on the other options that will be presented to the public.

Wheatmore students depart Trinity High

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – A mix of excitement and sadness filled Trinity High School Wednesday as Wheatmore High School students said goodbyes to their friends and former teachers.

With the new Wheatmore High ready for occupancy, more than 600 students will attend the new school on its opening day Monday. For the first few weeks of this school year, Trinity and Wheatmore students have been sharing space at Trinity High while crews have been finishing Wheatmore High. The school system will use

today and Friday as teacher workdays to get Wheatmore ready for teachers and students.

“It’s kind of sad,” said Betty Denny, Wheatmore’s junior class president. “I’m going to miss all of my friends who have to stay here. I’m going to get to see some of them, but not as often.”

Casey Hilliard, Wheatmore Student Council president, said the new high school is going to be “awesome” because it will not be as crowded as Trinity High. Trinity High, which has a capacity of 850 without the school’s 24 trailers, has had an enrollment of about 1,400.

“I’m going to miss a lot of the

teachers here because I have been here since my freshman year,” Hilliard said. “A lot of them have been there for me and helped me through school.”

Zach Thompson and Rachel Clampitt, both Trinity seniors, said they are excited about Wheatmore alleviating overcrowding at Trinity High. Last year, seniors decided to finish out their high school careers at Trinity High.

“I’m pretty excited because there will be room for lunch and space around the campus in general,” Thompson said.

“I’m excited,” Clampitt added.

“I only have seven minutes to eat

lunch every day. I’m tired of us being overcrowded, and I just wish they would leave. I mean it’s kind of depressing to see them go, but at the same time, it’s exciting because it’s our first year of something new.”

Trinity High Principal Denise Lackey said she noticed several Wheatmore teachers get “tearyeyed” on the last day at Trinity High. “You’ve worked with these folks for 10 years and all of a sudden they are leaving,” Lackey said. “I think it will probably hit us worse on Monday morning when you know those people aren’t here.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Guilford school leaders settle budget

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – The 9-2 Guilford County Board of Education vote that perhaps settled the district’s budget Tuesday ended with a battle over administrators and teachers.

Several board members said they wanted to fund more teaching positions.

But the vote backed Superintendent Mo Green’s plan to restore four key administrative positions:

a coordinator for project management at $25,000; a chief student services officer, $165,000; executive coordinator of project management, $71,000 and director of employment, $87,000. Overall, the budget reinstates 13 central office positions.

“I’m opposed to restoring these administrative positions except for human resources,” said board member Darlene Garrett.

“The money should go to the classroom.”

Garrett and board mem-

ber Garth Hebert of High Point voted against the adjustments reflecting a lower-than-expected state cut of $22 million. Hebert wanted to hold back more than the $3 million Green set aside for reserves in the $591 million operating budget.

At-large board member Sandra Alexander suggested some people could think the district is “top heavy” with administrators. The district is the largest employer in Guilford County with nearly

Last month, the board approved funding 20 additional teachers for schools over their projected enrollments this week. The budget also includes another $1 million for teachers and other unexpected needs.

“There are things we’d like to do, but we can’t,” Green said. “You get to a position where schools need support in the central office.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Fire damages local restaurant

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – An earlymorning fire damaged a south High Point restaurant on Wednesday.

Firefighters responded to Pequeno Mexico, 800 S. Main St., Suite 101, about 12:40 a.m. after an alarm call was received and a passerby called 911 to report smoke coming from the building, according to the High Point Fire Department.

Crews got the fire under control quickly. No injuries were reported. The

restaurant was closed and no one was inside at the time.

Investigators determined that the fire started in a trash can in the kitchen and caused an estimated $200,000 damage, said fire department Capt. Denita Lynch. The cause remained under investigation Wednesday.

“From what the (Fire Marshal) said, in that restaurant, I think the kitchen area is pretty much gone. I think they’re going to have quite a bit of repairs,” Lynch said.

The restaurant is part of a building that includes three other businesses, including a Family Dollar store next door that was closed Wednesday to assess possible smoke damage. A sign on the door of Family Dollar said the business would be open today. The other two businesses in the building – a bakery and a Rent-A-Center – remained open for business Wednesday afternoon.

Pequeno Mexico owner Veronica Paniagua said the restaurant had served dinner and closed

about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

She said she didn’t know what may have sparked the fire. She said she wasn’t sure when her business, which includes a meat market, might reopen. She said it was a popular spot among the local Hispanic community and had been in business since 1994. A sign outside the restaurant Wednesday directed patrons to a taco restaurant Paniagua and her family own at 415 National Highway, Thomasville. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

CINCINNATI (AP) – A dispute over a reward for a missing Chihuahua has unleashed a lawsuit in Ohio.

Two Cincinnati women sued the dog’s owner and two others for refusing to pay an advertised $1,000 reward for the small dog named Wilfred.

A defendant, Lynn

Creech, says they won’t pay because the dog her daughter owns was stolen.

The lawsuit, filed by Carmen Dominguez and Sheila Miller, alleges breach of contract and fraud and seeks damages up to $15,000. The two women claim they were driving in Butler Coun-

ty in southwest Ohio in June when they spotted a small dog ready to dart into traffic. They say they picked it up and found no tags.

Weeks later, the women saw an online ad offering a $1,000 reward.

They say they returned the dog, but never got the money.

The superintendent said one of the main reasons for looking at redistricting lines is to make sure Trinity and Wheatmore high schools each have their own feeder middle school.

“As it currently stands now, we only have one middle school in that area, so all middle schoolers at (Archdale-Trinity) Middle would have to split – some would go to Wheatmore and some to Trinity,” Andrews said. “What we

TRINITY – The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday said deputies are looking for an additional suspect who allegedly was involved in a stabbing and shooting of two men that occurred in Trinity.

Warrants have been issued for Charles Gray Gordon, 41, of 603 Pennington Ave., Thomasville, for allegedly being involved in the shooting of Toby Randell McDowell and the stabbing of Clayton Trevor Kindley.

The shooting and stabbing took place Monday at 5985 Jim Pierce Road in Trinity.

Dustin Gray Gordon, 21, of 1044 Harvest Drive, was arrested Monday and charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and a count of

impersonating a law enforcement officer.

According to a sheriff’s office press release, deputies located McDowell, with a gunshot wound, and Kindley, who had been stabbed multiple times. Both were taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem.

The sheriff’s office said Wednesday that both of the men are in stable condition and are doing well.

Dustin Gordon was arrested by the Davie County Sheriff’s Office at his place of employment.

He was placed in Randolph County Jail under a $250,000 secured bond.

The sheriff’s office said anyone who may know the whereabouts of Charles Gordon should contact the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office at 318-6699 or Randolph County Crimestoppers at 672-7463.

Urban deer hunts don’t sit well with many FREE HEARING where they can be legally hunted,” Bell said.

“Without hunting, everything overgrazes, and then deer come up into town and eat everything in sight, including your hostas and your roses.”

That’s the case at the Cary home of Mary Marsha Cupitt, whose house backs up to the Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve.

She said deer snacked on her two tomato plants to the point that only a single tomato was left. And she’d rather not get into the state of her hostas.

“They love hostas, and that’s the one plant I have that’s eaten down to nothing but skin,” Cupitt said.

City officials have raised legitimate concerns about urban deer hunting, said Greg Batts, a biologist with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission.

Those include the cost of managing the program and, more importantly, safety questions. Governments have been reluctant to embrace a program that its residents could perceive as dangerous or reckless, Batts told a group of people with deer problems in Holly Springs last week.

But Batts said other methods of population control, such as poisoning, transferring deer to other areas and

deer birth control are not as cost-effective or successful as hunting can be.

Bell says urban deer hunting doesn’t present any safety hazard. City officials specify what areas can and cannot be hunted safely. Populated, busy areas are off limits.

And for suburban homeowners concerned about hunting in their backyards, hunters would need written consent from individual property owners to hunt on their land and must pass a certification program offered by the Bowhunters Association to be eligible.

RALEIGH (AP) — An attorney says a decadesold North Carolina law clearly defined life sentences as only 80 years long.

An attorney for inmate Bobby Bowden made the argument Wednesday to the North Carolina Supreme Court.

Attorney Jane Allen says the 1974 law, combined with good-behavior credits, means that Bowden’s sentence for two Cumberland County killings is complete.

Attorneys for the state argued the law was ambiguous and they think the 80-year term was defining how long it would be before an inmate was eligible for parole.

Allen called that argument “legal gymnastics.”

Correction officials worry the case could affect some 120 inmates sentenced in part of the 1970s.

DURHAM — He calls it “the scariest time of my life.”

But Durham County Sheriff’s Investigator Morial Whitaker knows that the bullet he took in his foot last week in the line of duty could have been worse. And he’s grateful to his family, friends and co-workers for their support since that painful, dramatic night last Wednesday.

Whitaker, 34, a gang investigator, was shot during an exchange of gunfire outside Cracker Barrel restaurant at 3703 Hillsborough Road during the culmination of a drug investigation, which ended in the arrest of three men. A single bullet lodged in Whitaker’s right foot.

“They tried to get the bullet out the night of the incident with a minor procedure when

I was still awake,” Whitaker said in an interview Tuesday. “But the bullet was too far in, so they couldn’t get it.

They said it’s not considered an emergency,” so he’s set for surgery today at Duke University Hospital to remove it.

“It was the scariest time of my life -- to look at a gun barrel and actually have it pointed at you, and you can see the fire coming from the barrel, and you know that the bullet is for you,” he said.

“And then immediately, I tried to get cover. I got down and did a crab crawl, and unfortunately, one of the bullets hit me in the foot.”

At first, Whitaker said, the bullet felt like “debris or a rock had hit me.”

“I didn’t think anything of it. I didn’t know what was going on. I just heard a lot of gunfire. I didn’t know if this guy was just dumping the

CARY — A potential solution to the deer nuisance, an urban deerhunting season, has not caught on in North Carolina.

Two years ago, the state instituted a special archery season for urban deer, which lasts about a month after the end of the standard hunting season in January. The nearest town to Raleigh with an urban deer season is Smithfield, 30 miles to the southeast.

Only 16 municipalities have adopted the season; 83 deer were killed during

the special urban hunts in 2008, most of them in Elkin in northwestern North Carolina.

Deer are creatures of habit, and they’re accustomed to feeding on people’s tulips and apples in the absence of predators in the suburbs.

Ramon Bell, president of the N.C. Bowhunters Association, says an urban deer season can make them change their minds.

“What urban deer season does, in addition to taking out that 10 to 15 percent of the population, is reintroduce a predator, and that knowledge alone moves them back out to areas

U.S. warns Iran is nearing nuclear capabilities

VIENNA – The United States warned Wednesday that Iran is close to having the capabilities to produce a nuclear weapon, and joined major European powers in urging Tehran to “turn the page” and engage in dialogue to prove its atomic program is peaceful.

Glyn Davies, the chief U.S. envoy to the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the latest report by the nuclear watchdog shows that Tehran is either very near or already in possession of sufficient lowenriched uranium to produce one nuclear weapon.

The menace grew – until British commandos launched a rescue raid. The reporter survived; his Afghan colleague died in a volley of gunfire as he shouted “Journalist! Journalist!” Four others, including a British soldier, also were killed.

Stephen Farrell, who was not

injured in the rescue Wednesday, is one of a half-dozen foreign journalists to be kidnapped in Afghanistan over the last several years.

His Times colleague, David Rohde, was abducted by militants south of Kabul last November and eventually escaped his captors while being held in Pakistan.

Flash floods slam Istanbul, kill at least 20

ISTANBUL – The heaviest rainfall in at least eight decades sent flash floods barreling across a major highway and into busy business districts in Turkey’s largest city on Wednesday, trapping factory workers and truck drivers in their vehicles and drowning at least 20 people.

Waters six feet high in some places flooded hundreds of homes and offices and cut off the TEM highway, which connects central Istanbul to the sprawling city’s main airport and goes on to Greece and Bulgaria.

TRENTON, N.J. – Several thousand patients of a New Jersey doctor should get tested for blood-borne diseases because of an outbreak linked to his office that has led to more than two dozen being diagnosed with hepatitis B, state health officials said.

In March, the state said five of Dr. Parvez Dara’s patients were found to have hepatitis B and nearly 2,800 patients should get tested for it. There are now 29 positive cases.

Obama: ‘Time for bickering is over’ WASHINGTON (AP) – Shaking off a summer of setbacks, President Barack Obama summoned Congress to enact sweeping health care legislation Wednesday night, declaring the “time for bickering is over” and the moment has arrived to protect millions who have unreliable insurance or no coverage at all.

Obama said the changes he has in mind would cost about $900 billion over decade, “less than we have spent on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and less than the tax cuts for the wealthiest few Americans” passed during the Bush administration.

In a televised speech to a joint session of Congress, Obama spoke in favor of an option for the federal government to sell insurance in competition with private industry. But he said he was open to alternatives that create choices for consumers – a declaration sure to displease its liberal supporters.

Obama’s speech came as the president and his allies in Congress readied an autumn campaign to enact his top domestic priority. While Democrats command strong majorities in both the House and Senate, neither chamber has acted on Obama’s top domestic priority, missing numerous deadlines lead-

Obama said there is widespread agreement on about 80 percent of what must be included in legislation. Any yet, criticizing Republicans without saying so, he added: “Instead of honest debate, we have seen scare tactics” and ideological warfare that offers no hope for compromise.

DISAPPROVAL ON HEALTH CARE UP TO 52 PERCENT WASHINGTON (AP) – Public disapproval of President Barack Obama’s handling of health care has leaped to 52 percent, according to Associated Press-GfK poll.

Just 42 percent approve of the president’s work on the high-profile health

issue. The survey was released Wednesday before his nationally televised effort to persuade Congress and voters to back his drive to reshape the nation’s $2.5 trillion-ayear medical system.

Spotlighting how Obama lost ground this summer, his latest approval figures on health were essentially reversed since July, when 50 percent approved of his health effort and just 43 percent disapproved.

Here’s what Rep. Coble should have said

Congressman Coble’s Web site basically ignored discussion of health care reform for months while it was the most important issue on our domestic agenda.

Now, after “town hall debates,” he says that the proposal (knowing that there is no one proposal yet) amounts to a government takeover of our health care system.

What he should have said is this: “Once in a great while, Congress has an opportunity to do something of historic, and of great, importance for the people and for the country. This is such a time. Citizen response to town hall meetings has revealed how some people feel about all the negative news of the day, but has provided little productive thinking on health care.

“In another time of trial several decades ago, Sen. George Norris said, ‘I must follow my own conscience. Otherwise, a member of Congress giving weight to ex-

Congress must lead on this.

“We’ve debated universal health care for decades. While the rest of the industrialized world has adopted it, we continue to become mired in interest group competition and by our outdated ideas of providing effective health care.

Health care reform is about bringing down the cost to everyone.

It is about getting coverage for people who can’t afford it.

Students get encouraging message

S

choolchildren from coast to coast watched on classroom TVs and computer screens as President Obama spoke to them during the noon hour Tuesday, The Associated Press reported, and the sky didn’t fall and we doubt the psyches of any child who saw/heard it were damaged. Others did not hear the message, AP reported, “either because their parents pulled them from class or their schools refused to carry the speech over complaints from conservative groups and others that it smacked of political indoctrination.”

As Paul Johnson reported in The High Point Enterprise Wednesday, students at T. Wingate Andrews High School discussing the president’s message determined he was telling them to work hard and stay in school, finish academic assignments on time, learn from mistakes and don’t make excuses and fail to achieve. To us, that appears to be just the message students needed to hear from someone who has been there, done that and succeeded.

Meanwhile, conservatives shouldn’t take all the blame for the controversy that arose over Obama’s delivering a message similar to those that had been given to students by former presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.

The Obama administration sparked the ruckus when the U.S. Department of Education proposed lesson plans distributed to accompany the speech, including a section – later changed – that asked students to write about how they could help the president. The DOE had posted a set of “classroom activities” on its Web site “designed for teachers and students to use before, during and after the speech. AP reported the suggested activities centered “around the concepts of ‘responsibility,’ ‘persistence’ and ‘goals’ – and encourage classrooms to post and discuss ‘notable quotes’ from Obama’s prior speeches on education, and to engage in a ‘guided discussion’ ” following Obama’s back-to-school speech. Given those instructions, can you really blame some parents for being skeptical of their children’s participation and some school districts, especially those in Texas, Illinois (the president’s home state), Virginia and Wisconsin, deciding not to show the speech to students?

The speech appears to be a case of all’s well that ends well – the students who heard the speech seemed to get the message. That’s good!

After listening to the television reporting and reading about the death of Jimmy Douglas Maudlin, 51, of Kannapolis, who died this week after being struck by a vehicle last weekend as he stood in the street, I have questions.

A neighbor said this was something Maudlin did often and made people upset.

Having to stop their cars, etc., I just wonder why: • no one called the police to report it, which would have been a simple thing, as writing up a police report.

• as he lived in an assisted living facility, why there was no control at that end.

Who was watching out for Jimmy Maudlin?

If America were a person, you’d sedate it. You might even have it committed.

This is not politics, it’s a temper tantrum, a national hissy-fit that calls into question – and not for the first time – whether a nation so vast and varied still can, or still wants to be, a nation.

We all pay for libraries, we all pay for national defense, we all pay to school our kids. Except, he said he doesn’t want to pay to educate someone else’s kids, either. We are “not” interdependent, the man insisted. We are alone, each man in it by and for himself.

You might call that view an aberration. My fear is that it is a harbinger. My fear is that we are a people stampeded by and toward political extremes, and that in our shrillness, our ignorance, our paranoia, hatefulness and fear, we dig a trench through common ground and make this nation ungovernable.

They want to save our kids from an education ell, that was close.

Surely, we are all relieved that at least some children were protected this week from the diabolical Barack Obama. It was touch and go there for a while after the White House announced its plan for the president to give a back-to-school address to America’s kids. They might have gotten away with it, too, but for conservative pundits and politicians who spent last week raising a ruckus about this scheme to indoctrinate our youth into the president’s socialist cult. They were able to persuade an untold number of schools to prohibit Tuesday’s speech from being shown on campus and an untold number of parents to keep their children home.

By this decisive action, untold millions (thousands?) of our kids were saved from exposure to subversive sentiments like “pay attention,” “listen to your parents,” and “every single one of you has something to offer.”

That mission accomplished, one wonders if conservatives will be equally energetic in rescuing kids from other things that threaten them.

Our children need all the help they can get, after all. They are coming of age

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2009 www.hpe.com

It was a message that many students needed to hear

A

s I am sure you know by now, President Obama addressed our nation’s school children on Tuesday at noon.

Many classrooms across the country tuned in to hear the president’s remarks, and parents were given the opportunity to opt out if they preferred that their own child not listen.

Prior to his Tuesday speech, I was shocked by hear all the negative feedback in regard to it. More than one Internet site called it an attempt by Obama to “indoctrinate America’s children to his socialist agenda.” My initial reaction was “Really? “ Was that really the case? I could not wait to read the text.

That is exactly what I did on Monday when the White House Web site posted the text of the president’s prepared remarks for Tuesday. I read it looking for any sign of political conspiracy or indoctrination – left or right wing. What I read, instead, were powerful words that brought me to tears as I thought of all the students I currently teach who really need to hear this message. Arne Duncan, U.S. Education Secretary, said, “This is all about the president challenging our young people to take responsibility for their own education.” That is exactly what I found it to be. Duncan said that the president is trying to combat a staggering U.S. dropout rate of 30 percent! That is 1.2 million dropouts every year. That is a critical level about which we all must be concerned.

So shouldn’t we all be encouraging our children and grandchildren to stay in school, work hard and set goals? I think most parents, grandparents, teachers, principals and ministers are encouraging students to do well in school, find their own unique talents and be somebody. Why shouldn’t they hear that message from the highest office in the land? Why shouldn’t they hear it from our first black president?

Here is the first excerpt from the speech that touched my heart. The president said that he has talked before about the responsibility of teachers, parents and government in helping students. Then he said, “But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents and the best schools in the world – and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other

Deployment change underscores challenges The Fayetteville Observer, Sept. 8

T

he announcement that about 1,000 Fort Bragg paratroopers will remain deployed in Afghanistan for an extra 52 days is news that will set a pair of pots boiling again.

The first pot is the Army’s own. Recurring deployment extensions in Iraq sparked growing unrest among soldiers and their families. A yearlong deployment is tough enough.

Extending it to 14 or 15 months makes it an endurance challenge.

And yes, this is war, and this is what happens in a war. But we’ve been at this one for nearly eight years now. That’s a long slog, and repeated deployment extensions have a long-term debilitating effect on soldiers and aggravate the Army’s personnelretention problems. Once again, the question arises: Do we have enough troops to do the job without wearing everyone out?

The second pot the deployment extension will fuel is the growing public disapproval of our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Until recently, that opposition was largely from the left regions of the political spectrum. But that is changing. There is grow-

ing opposition from the right, as well, led by some high-profile conservatives, including columnist George Will.

We can easily understand the public’s weariness with war and its towering expense. And there was good reason to question the wisdom of our initial incursion into Iraq. But that’s not the case with Afghanistan. That’s where the bad guys are.

Since Gen. Stanley McChrystal was put in charge of Afghanistan operations, the war has essentially been restarted, almost from scratch. McChrystal appears to be orchestrating a dramatic change in tactics, taking emphasis away from killing or capturing insurgents and instead focusing on protecting civilians, developing the country’s own police and army forces, and building up the country’s government and economy.

That effort is likely to be accompanied by a request for more troops – many more. We hope politics doesn’t get in the way of doing this job right. But we also hope the Army is able to sustain the Afghanistan effort without continuing years of extended deployments.

To succeed, a pair of boiling pots need to be moved to back burners.

adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.”

He said, “We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that – if you quit LESSONS on school – you’re not just LEARNED quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.”

Paula President Obama told his Williams own story of growing up ■■■ without a father raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills. Then he said something powerful for today’s students: “The circumstances of your life – what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home – that’s no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school.

That’s no excuse for not trying.”

Then toward the end of the speech, he said, “And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you – don’t give up on yourself.”

All in all, I thought it was a powerful message. I thought of my bright young student who is back in foster care after being turned down at the last minute over the summer by perspective adoptive parents. He needed to hear that speech.

I thought about so many of my students who live in poverty and single-parent homes.

I thought about those students who get themselves up for school each morning and never have anyone to help with homework.

I thought about students who simply cannot focus at school because of the conflict in their homes. They needed to hear that speech.

What a privilege a free public education is – one that too many students take for granted. It is time, as the president said, that we expect students to get serious and put their best efforts into everything they do.

And thank you, Mr. President, for saying so.

High court skeptical of limits on businesses, unions

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court signaled Wednesday it may let businesses and unions spend freely to help their favored candidates in time for next year’s elections.

Such a step could roll back a century of attempts to restrain the power of corporate treasuries in American politics.

The justices cut short their summer recess for a lively special argument that indicated the court’s conservative skeptics of campaign finance laws have the upper hand over its liberals, including new Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the high court’s swing vote,

but a firm opponent of many campaign restrictions, at one point told the government’s lawyer, “Corporations have lots of knowledge about environment, transportation issues, and you are silencing them during the election.”

Sotomayor jumped into the fray at her first argument

– with questions that strongly hinted she would keep campaign spending limits in place.

“Wouldn’t we be doing some more harm than good by a broad ruling?” she asked.

The court heard arguments for the second time in a case that began as a dispute over whether a conservative group’s

90-minute movie that harshly criticized Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign should be regulated as a campaign ad. The court’s request for a new argument on broader questions turned the case into a test of whether two earlier high court decisions should be reversed.

Change of heart Religious services can resume at Elm Towers

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The High Point Housing Authority has allowed religious services to return to public housing facilities in the city.

After initially declaring that they would wait on the adoption of a new policy governing the use of common areas before allowing events such as

worship services to be scheduled, authority officials decided last weekend to let them resume immediately.

Christian worship services were held weekly for residents at the Elm Towers apartment complex until last month, when questions were raised about whether they were permissible in a federally funded facility.

“We hope that this will help the situation, and we will continue to work to make everything as pleasant as we can and make everything work out for our residents,” said authority spokeswoman Rachael Matthews.

After the authority received complaints last month, it sought guidance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which initially advised them to cease religious activities in common areas. HUD later issued another opinion that com-

mon areas could be used for “civic, cultural and religious activities that enrich tenants’ lives.”

Authority officials said last week that HUD had advised them to enact a new policy regarding common areas, which is now in development.

“I’ve got the green light to start this coming Sunday,” said the Rev. Bill Lasley, whose Faith Tabernacle Truth Ministries held services at Elm Towers for three years before they were stopped.

“They’re really anxious to start again. I think things are going to work out.”

WHO’S NEWS

----

The new policy will set guidelines for use of common areas in a “nondiscriminatory manner,” taking into account whether they can be used only by residents.

“There is a fragile population there, and security is a big issue at these buildings,” said Mayor Becky Smothers.

“I think this new policy will certainly go a long way toward addressing these issues for the residents, as well as those responsible for their security.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

THOMASVILLE – A proposal to change the organizational structure of the Thomasville Police Department likely will be considered by the Thomasville City Council this month.

The proposal suggests the council change the title of major, who is second command of the agency, to deputy chief, with a rank of major, as well as promoting one lieutenant to captain.

In a memo to City Manager Kelly Craver, Insley said the current organizational structure of the police department “presents some barriers to smooth communication, internal and external.”

“The new chief had done a departmental assessment,” York said. “These were things that he saw with his administration that he would like to see things done. I don’t have any problems with the changes. I think they are fine.”

Under the reorganization of the agency, one of the department’s lieutenants would have the position of Investigative Services Bureau commander with a rank of captain. Currently, the department has one captain, James Mills. The reorganization would allow for one captain to be commander of the Investigative Services Bureau and the other captain would lead the Field Operations Bureau.

Insley also made the recommendation to allow oncall detectives to drive their police cars home. The department currently has on-call detectives drive their personal cars home and then report back to work to pick up their police vehicles prior to responding to a scene.

Councilman David Yemm said he sees the proposal as a “positive change” for the Thomasville Police Department.

“I hear nothing but good things about the new chief from people on the street and some of the officers in line,” Yemm said. “I think he is going to work out real good.”

Remembering 9/11 Blood drive, school event recognize National Day of Service

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Blood donors who come to High Point Regional Hospital Friday can serve a pair of causes — giving blood during a time of need while performing a good deed on the Sept. 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.

The High Point-Thomasville chapter of the American Red Cross will hold its latest blood drive 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday across from the hospital cafeteria. Chapter Executive Director Bob Ziegler said the local Red Cross scheduled the blood drive to coincide with the National Day of Service and Remembrance.

Sept. 11, 2001, marks “a day ingrained in our collective memory,” Ziegler said.

Many members of the American Red Cross assisted in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks eight years ago.

“I remember I was on Fort Bragg at the time when the first plane hit (the World Trade Center). All I could think of was getting back to my Red Cross office. The next days and weeks are just a blur. I think we all have those memories,” Ziegler said.

At Thomasville Primary School on Friday morning, city police officers and firefighters will come to the school to greet pupils and receive recognition for their service, said Principal Paula Gaylord.

“It shows these police officers and firefighters in a positive light,” Gaylord said.

Green: No regrets over Obama speech

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – With the uproar nearly over, Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green has no regrets about airing President Obama’s live national speech Tuesday.

And the board of education offered no protests, just a few suggestions, during a later meeting.

The nationally-televised speech, which became the focus of political controversy, encouraged students to do well and to work hard.

The speech was broadcast from Wakefield High in Arlington, Va., via television and the Internet. The speech text was available online Monday.

“It was an incredible opportunity for students to listen to the president,” Green told the school board. “I thought it would be motivational and educational.

I thought all students

should have an opportunity to see it.”

Although former Republican presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush delivered similar speeches, some opponents complained the president’s message overstepped his authority.

Democrats protested Bush’s 1991 remarks and launched investigative Congressional hearings.

“It is troubling that we considered the others so much and set a different standard,” said at-large school board member Sandra Alexander. “We should not cave into partisan politics.”

Green said he anticipated some parents might not want their children to participate.

“We told everybody that participation was voluntary,” Green said.

“The overwhelming majority of parents decided to let their children listen and watch. That was a good thing. For the oth-

HPU students to help local elementary school

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Students in the High Point University School of Education have formed a partnership with Montlieu Math and Science Academy to help boost school performance.

Mariann Tillery, dean of the School of Education, said Guilford County Schools approached the HPU School of Education, asking if students could provide assistance.

Montlieu is one of 10 district low-performing schools. Other High Point area schools on the list are Fairview Elementary, Oak Hill Elementary, Parkview Elementary and T. Wingate Andrews High School.

“Historically, Montlieu Math and Science Academy has had many challenges, including significant teacher turnover and a high percentage of at-risk students,” Tillery said. “Our three student organizations in teacher education are taking the lead to develop a mentoring program at Montlieu Math and Science Academy. The relationship between the mentors and students from Montlieu will be extended to include a broad range of services such as literacy and math tutoring as well as helping to organize science fairs, multicultural events and a book buddies program.”

A leading district goal is to have no low-performing schools by 2012.

The Guilford County Board of Education approved Tuesday pumping $213,387 more into the schools, six of which already receive Title I funds for school improvements.

Three educational student organizations – Teachers of Tomorrow, the N.C. Association of Elementary Educators and Kappa Delta Pi – are combining their efforts to extend their mentoring by starting a breakfast buddies group, as

well as other relationship-building activities, Tillery said.

“This kind of sustained collaboration between institutions of higher education and our public schools not only improves the learning and educational outcomes for all students involved, but it serves to strengthen communities in general,” Tillery said. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Participation: The number of Guilford County Schools students who declined to hear President Obama’s speech on Tuesday ranged from a high of 49 at Monticello Brown Summit Elementary School to none at most schools.

ers, I respect their decision.”

Schools provided alternative learning activities.

Board member Deena Hayes said the district should have a consistent speakers policy to allow parents the same option they had for the Obama speech.

“This was a good judgement call, ” said board member Garth Hebert of High Point. “It was a valuable teaching moment.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Slaying suspect had record at 16

ROCKY MOUNT — Although neighbors say they knew little of Antwan Maurice Pittman, the man indicted Tuesday on a murder charge, North Carolina court records tell at least part of his story, starting at age 16.

Pittman was arrested last week by a task force formed to investigate the killings of six women whose bodies were found in the swampy woodlands of rural Edgecombe County about 60 miles northeast of Raleigh.

He is charged with the murder of Taraha Shenice Nicholson, 28, but authorities have declined to say whether he may be impli-

cated in the other killings.

He is being held in Central Prison while he awaits trial.

Gloria Pittman, a powerfully built woman with thick braids, had little to say about her son as she sat on the porch on South Church Street near downtown Rocky Mount last week. She stared straight ahead as if deep in thought and sipped a cold drink.

“His lawyers don’t want me to talk,” she finally said.

She did say that her son grew up in Whitakers and worked for about two years as a tobacco packer at Universal Leaf, a tobacco processing and merchandising plant in Rocky Mount.

Antwan Pittman attended North Edgecombe High

School, his mother said, but he did not graduate.

He was 16 years old when police charged him on July 31, 1994, with the attempted rape of a 2-year-old child. He was convicted of the lesser offense of taking indecent liberties with a child and sentenced to probation and a military style boot camp for young offenders. He left the program after less than a month.

Keith Acree, a Department of Correction spokesman, said he has no record of where Pittman was from 1995 to 1996, although part of his probation sentence included electronic house arrest at his mother’s home.

Court records show that Pittman violated that probation in January 1996.

An active sentence was invoked, and he spent one year and three months at the Western Youth Institution in Morganton.

State prison inmates average about one or two infractions a year, but Pittman racked up 10 in 1996.

He was punished with multiple stints of 10 to 20 days in solitary confinement for offenses including profane language, disobeying orders, fighting, making threats and possessing a weapon.

He was released from prison on June 26, 1997. He was required by state law to register with the North Carolina sex offender registry and notify the local sheriff’s office of any address change.

The teen moved into a one-story, red-brick home with a carport at 104 Daniels Ave. in Battleboro. The address is less than a mile from where sheriff’s depu-

ties found Nicholson’s body and about two miles from Seven Bridges Road, where the remains of three more women have been found since 2005.

Clean-air loopholes pay off MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE — Twenty years ago, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a new rule for cities with dirty air, such as Charlotte: Show that your road-building plans will complement efforts to clean the air -- or risk losing critical highway construction dollars.

But today the federal process is full of loopholes, the Observer has found.

City transportation planners changed data that essentially took one in three cars off the road, enabling them to show less pollution.

They also have made overly optimistic forecasts about how often people would use mass transit.

And despite evidence that building more highways causes people to drive farther, the city has told the EPA the opposite: Building billions of dollars of new highways will cause Charlotteans to drive less, and create less smog, than if they weren’t built.

Those questionable projections have helped keep highway dollars flowing to Charlotte.

City transportation planners acknowledge that their pollution estimates have turned out to be low.

But they say they have complied with all state and federal requirements.

Mecklenburg County’s air-quality director, Don Willard, said the EPA’s rules are good on paper, but in practice are “divorced

from reality.”

Charlotte’s air is cleaner than a decade ago, mostly due to vehicles that emit less pollution. But the American Lung Association said in April that Charlotte had the nation’s 8thworst ground-level ozone problem.

Ground-level ozone, or smog, causes wheezing, coughing and chest pain, and respiratory infections. A survey in 2006 by Mecklenburg’s Health Department found that emergency-room treatments for respiratory problems increased on bad-air days, said Stephen Keener, the health department’s medical director.

“We promised the people we’d have cleaner air when we made these projections,”

said David Farren of the Southern Environmental Law Center in Chapel Hill.

“But it’s unfortunate they’d rather jiggle the model than do something to improve public health.”

The EPA didn’t intend for cities with air pollution to stop building roads. Its goal was for them to evaluate which projects would best relieve congestion, while not significantly increasing how far people drive and how much they pollute.

Charlotte has fulfilled part of the EPA’s vision by investing in transit, bike paths, sidewalks and other programs to cut down on tailpipe emissions.

But it hasn’t scrutinized the billions of dollars of planned highways as the EPA intended.

Dear Abby: My husband and I moved into a new home a few months ago. On our first night in our new residence, an emotionally disturbed relative came over and caused a scene which resulted in the police being called to have the person removed from our home.

Since then, we have been shunned by our neighbors.

I was hoping for a friendly welcome, but I haven’t gotten so much as a “hello,” let alone a plate of cookies.

How should we handle this? I realize that because of the police incident, the neighbors may think we have domestic issues – or worse.

I don’t know how to improve the bad impression that was created – especially since it was not our fault. Please help. – Waiting For The Welcome Wagon in Indianapolis Dear Waiting: If you see a neighbor, smile, say hello and introduce yourself.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — A North Carolina family who wanted to keep a potbellied pig they said comforts their autistic son has failed to squeeze an exception out of city officials.

The Fayetteville Observer reported Wednesday that the City Council deadlocked 5-5 on a proposal that would have allowed Loopey to return from a ranch to its home in a city subdivision. The council considered giving the city manager authority to grant exemptions to the hog ban under conditions that included a doctor’s note saying the animal was needed to help treat a medical ailment.

Lisa Pia and Bobby Tibbetts say the pig is therapeutic for their autistic 8-year-old son, Anthony.

ear Abby: My brother-in-law, “Ray,” and his wife moved in with my husband’s parents for a few months until they could get back on their feet.

They have two small boys and a cat, “Precious,” they have had since they were first married.

They looked for an apartment to rent, but could not find one that would allow pets. My mother-in-law, “Loretta,” was anxious for them to move out, so she told them to take the apartment and she’d keep the cat at her home.

Shortly after, Loretta asked my husband to secretly get rid of it. (Her husband had refused.)

When my husband said he couldn’t do it, she took matters into her own hands, drove Precious 10 miles away from her house and dumped her on the side of the road.

Ray and the kids went to her home every day to set out milk and look for their kitty. They also checked with the local animal shelter. About 10 days later, they found Precious at the shelter.

They had to pay to readopt her – money they didn’t have to spare. Not knowing what I know, they then returned their cat to Loretta!

Should I tell Ray the truth so they can rescue their cat, or keep mum so as not to make my mother-in-law angry by revealing the awful thing

Q

uestion: What is the difference between roasting ears and sweet corn?

Answer: To the old timers, roasting ears are field corn harvested at an immature stage.

Corn was originally roasted in the fire coals.

Some people still prefer field corn because the ears are larger, and the immature corn is not as chewy. Sweet corn flavor is far superior to field corn if the sweet corn is grown under proper conditions, harvested at the right stage of maturity and handled properly between harvest time and cooking time.

Question: Earwigs have invaded my home.

Are they harmful?

SPECIAL | HPE

Every ear of corn isn’t the same.

Answer: No, these unusual insects (insect order Dermaptera) probably entered your house

accidentally and will not harm humans or pets.

They can, however, be a nuisance. They feed on decaying organic matter or can eat smaller insects and other invertebrates.

The term earwig comes from a myth that these insects crawled into the ears and ate out the brains of people. Control in the home consists of vacuuming or catching them in a jar and releasing them outside away from the house.

Question: When the word “leaching” is used in reference to pesticides, what does it mean?

they leach anywhere near a water source. For example, stay away from wells and other bodies of water, such as streams.

Nerves on autopilot D

ear Dr. Donohue: Just today my wife was diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction, or dysautonomia. We know absolutely nothing about this. Will you please expand? Could it have anything to do with her having extremely high blood pressure (220/91) one day and the next day low pressure (90/40)? – J.S.

BLONDIE

Most people are unaware that they have an autonomic nervous system. If they are aware, they frequently call it the automatic nervous system. That mistake isn’t such a bad one. The autonomic nervous system works automatically, by itself. It’s on autopilot.

It tries to keep blood pressure where it should be.

It speeds the heart up or slows it down according to what a person happens to be doing. It does the same with breathing. It gives the brain a signal when the bladder needs emptying. “Dys” is a popular way of indicating that something is on the blink. The signs and symptoms of autonomic dysfunction are many and varied, and only now is medicine becoming more and more attuned to them.

Blood pressure fluctuation from high to low is one of the signs that the autonomic nervous system isn’t functioning.

Blood pressure soars when a person lies down or sits, and plummets when that person stands.

Autonomic dysfunction can make people sweat

profusely when sweating isn’t called for. It can interfere with sleep and the HEALTH regulation of body Dr. Paul heat. It Donohue might lead ■■■ to dizziness.

A number of illnesses are classified under “autonomic dysfunction.”

One is multiple system atrophy, which combines the features of autonomic dysfunction with some of the signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

You’re wondering how it’s treated. A single treatment isn’t available, but a combination of medicines often can correct symptoms.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have an EKG done every year. I also have worn a monitor that records heart activity for three days. Everything is fine.

When I fall asleep most nights, I wake after about 10 minutes with a rapid heartbeºat, and sometimes it takes quite a time before it settles down and I can get back to sleep. I rarely have such a rapid beat at any other time of the day. Do you know what causes this, or what it might be? I am 57.

– S.B. If I had to make a guess, it would be paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, a sudden heart speedup for no reason. It’s usually not a serious condition, and it

doesn’t indicate heart disease. If the rate is really fast or if the episode lasts for a prolonged period, then treatment would be needed.

No one can be sure unless the rhythm comes on when a doctor is present or when you are hooked up to an EKG machine.

That monitor you wore for three days can be left on for longer stretches of time. Or you could have someone take you to the emergency department of a hospital if you can reach it somewhat quickly. You can’t obtain a diagnosis without such information.

Dear Dr. Donohue: In 1967, I lost more than 100 pounds and have been diligent for the past 42 years to keep it off. In 2008, I had an aortic valve replacement surgery and gave up a 60-year smoking habit. I had been doing well until four months ago, when I was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In two months I have gained 18 pounds. I am panicking. I have not changed my diet or lifestyle in any way.

Could it be the medicines I take? How can I combat this? – M.G. I have gone over the list of your 12 medicines with a fine-tooth comb. Weight gain isn’t listed as a side effect for any of them.

You’ll have to increase your calorie burning even if you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Walking is the way to achieve the calorie deficit.

NEW YORK (AP) – By all accounts, Walter Cronkite would have loved the war stories swapped and memories rekindled at his memorial service. All that was missing was a bar.

Instead, there were two presidents, broadcasting royalty, a man who walked on the moon and a drummer for the Grateful Dead.

President Barack Obama called Cronkite “a voice of certainty in a world that was growing more and more uncertain,” capping a gathering of old friends and colleagues Wednesday at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall. Cronkite, who defined television journalism during his reign at CBS News, AP died July 17 at age 92.

It was more mirthful Tom Brokaw is mobbed by the media as he leaves the Celebration of Life Memorial ceremony for Walter Cronkite, than mournful. Celebrants Wednesday at Avery Fisher Hall in New York.

Weaver set for Walker Cup challenge

D

rew Weaver may have received his diploma from Virginia Tech last May, but he’s getting a graduatelevel course this fall as a member of the 2009 Walker Cup team.

In chemistry.

Weaver and the nine other players chosen to represent America in the world’s SPORTS biggest amateur golf Steve match have Hanf busied them■■■ selves in the fine-tuning – and fine-dining – departments the past few weeks.

“We’ve been hanging out pretty much 24-7 with the guys on the team,” Weaver said by phone earlier this week. “A lot of great golf, good meals and building camaraderie.”

The Walker Cup, which takes place Saturday and Sunday at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., pits the 10 top amateurs from America against the top performers from Great Britain and Ireland. The U.S. leads the Ryder Cupstyle event 33-7-1.

Most of Weaver’s teammates will be college students such as Wake Forest’s Brendan Gielow or recent college graduates similar to himself. Nathan Smith, at 31, is the oldest player on the team, but was an easy pick for the event in the Philadelphia suburbs after winning both the Western Pa. and Pennsylvania amateur crowns.

In all, 26 matches will be played in the two-day competition. Four foursomes (alternate shot) and eight singles matches will take place in a match-play format on the first day, and four foursomes and 10 singles matches are played the second day so that everyone is on the course during the final round. The two extra singles matches are a new wrinkle for the Walker Cup schedule this year.

American team captain Buddy Marucci Jr. will determine the lineup each day. The 57-year-old led the American side to a 121⁄2 to 111⁄2 victory at Royal County Down in Northern Ireland two years ago. Not only will the pressure be on the American players to win; Marucci will be seeking a victory at his

home club of Merion. The secret to success so often in matches such as this comes in figuring out who plays well together.

“It is easy to make the transition when you’re playing for your country – it’s a lot different than when you play for a college team,” Weaver said of the experience. “You put all egos aside to play your best to represent your country.

It’s easy in this case. Everybody likes each other.”

Shortly after the first eight picks were announced last month, Weaver and the rest of the selections took a trip together to get a head start on the team-building aspect of the event. Once Cameron Tringale and Peter Uihlein were added to the squad on the final day of August, final plans took shape for the High Point native and the rest of his teammates.

Everyone gathered last Friday at Caves Valley Golf Club outside of Baltimore for a weekend of golf before checking into a hotel in Merion on Sunday afternoon. The international team arrived Monday night and got its first in-depth look at the course Tuesday, giving the Americans about eight more rounds of familiarity with Merion.

Despite winning the British Amateur three years ago, Weaver said he doesn’t know anybody well on the opposing team. But ...

“We know they’re good,” added the High Point Central product.

Will they be good enough to beat the Americans for the first time since winning three straight through the 2003 event? Weaver certainly hopes not, as he’ll be performing for the final time as an amateur this weekend. But there’s plenty of time after Saturday and Sunday to think about chasing that professional golf dream.

“It’s tough: It’s only two days, four rounds, a lot of golf and it comes very fast,” Weaver said. “It’s very important to keep your mind in the present, not worry about what will happen on the next hole, in the next round. It’s like any other day on the golf course, but obviously there will be a lot of pressure and a lot of people rooting us on. It will be important for us to narrow our focus all week.”

HIT AND RUN s Derek Jeter grew closer this week to Lou Gehrig’s Yankee record for most career hits, I started wondering.

How many of Jeter’s New York contemporaries would join the superstar shortstop on the all-time Yankee team?

The answer? Not many.

These questions spark endless debate with no definitive conclusion, but that’s the fun.

In addition to Jeter at short, Mariano Rivera is a no-brainer as all-time Yankee closer.

From there, the post-1995 Bronx Bombers have a hard time making the historic grade.

Third baseman Alex Rodriguez could be the best Yankee ever at his position, although much of his work came with other

BASEBALL CHI CUBS PITTSBURGH

teams and as a shortstop. Besides, the steroid cloud hangs over him.

That’s why I put Graig Nettles at the alltime Yankee hot corner. Clete Boyer and Red Rolfe also come to mind.

Catcher Jorge Posada has enjoyed a phenomenal career, but you can’t place him ahead of Yogi Berra or Bill Dickey. Thurman Munson’s also in the mix.

The recently retired Bernie Williams was a tremendous outfielder, but there’s no way he cracks the lineup with Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle in pinstripes.

Crafty lefthander Andy Pettitte is one of the toughest competitors and best postseason pitchers of all time. But is that enough to earn a spot in a five-man rotation with Whitey

Ford, Lefty Gomez, Red Ruffing, Ron Guidry, Catfish Hunter, Allie Reynolds, Roger Clemens and Dave Righetti to choose from?

Nope. My Yankee rotation consists of Ford, Gomez, Ruffing, Guidry and Clemens.

The rest of my Yankee starters? Gehrig at first and Tony Lazzeri at second.

As I despise the designated hitter rule, there’s no DH on my lineup card.

It shows the depth and quality of the Yankee legacy that so many great names pop up at so many positions.

Feel free to discuss among yourselves.

There are plenty of amazing combinations in this hypothetical “Murderer’s Row.”

If Alabama coach Nick Saban sticks around for another nine years, it will be worth $5 million to him and, the Crimson Tide hopes, a few more championships for the program.

The university system’s Board of Trustees compensation committee unanimously approved the threeyear extension through Jan. 31, 2018, on Wednesday that doesn’t include a salary hike but rewards him for staying put and guarantees that he will remain among college football’s five highest paid coaches.

“I’m very pleased and happy that the university offered us an extension.

(Wife) Terry and I are both happy to be here,” Saban said on Wednesday’s weekly Southeastern Conference teleconference.

SMITH AT HIGH POINT CENTRAL

---

Records: Smith 2-1; Central 2-1 Last year: Central 24-6 Last week: Smith lost 15-14 to Northwest Guilford; Central beat Lexington 31-7 Next week: Smith visits Charlotte Waddell; Central “visits” T. Wingate Andrews This week: Most years, this would be the “looking ahead” game for the Bison, who no doubt are eagerly anticipating the annual clash with the Red Raiders.

But looking past this Smith team could lead to an “L.” Granted, Smith’s victories have come against a winless Atkins team that has been outscored 120-6 along with a North Cross, Va., squad that plays small private schools. But the Golden Eagles also just missed beating 3-0 Northwest last week, falling only after the Vikings got a fumble with less than two minutes left, scored and then made the gutsy two-point conversion call.

The Bison dominated their former Metro 4A Conference rival the past four seasons and own six straight victories overall in the series. Smith won 20-7 on the field in 2002 before having to forfeit for use of ineligible players – and then Central and just about everybody else in Guilford County had to forfeit every game in 2002 due to the attendance scandal any way.

Oudin’s run ends at U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) — Melanie Oudin’s magical U.S. Open is over.

Even the comeback kid couldn’t overturn this deficit.

Showing signs of shakiness in her first Grand Slam quarterfinal, the 17year-old Oudin got off to a slow start against No. 9-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark and never really recovered, losing 6-2, 6-2 Wednesday night.

“This has been a great experience for me. I had a great run here,” the 70th-ranked Oudin told the crowd of 23,881 during an on-court interview

right after the match, an honor usually reserved for the winner. “I hope to come back next year and do even better.”

It’ll be hard to top her 2009 U.S. Open.

She upset four more established players — including three-time major champion Maria Sharapova and Beijing Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva — to become the youngest quarterfinalist at Flushing Meadows since Serena Williams in 1999.

Making the story even better: Oudin’s last three victories each came after dropping the first set.

Jeter ties Yankee record for hits NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter and Lou Gehrig are tied at the top.

Jeter matched the New York Yankees record for hits with a seventh-inning single Wednesday night against Tampa Bay. Jeter’s third hit of the game gave him 2,721 in a Yankees uniform, tying a mark held by Gehrig for more than 70 years.

Jeter had a chance to break the record in the eighth inning, but he walked against reliever Grant Balfour.

Already on their feet in anticipation, fans at Yankee Stadium let loose with a roar when Jeter’s sharp grounder inside the first-base line got by a diving Chris

Richard in the seventh.

Jeter’s parents, watching from an upstairs box between home plate and first base, raised their arms and exclaimed in excitement.

Jeter took off his helmet and twice waved it to the crowd of 45,848 during an ovation that lasted about 2 minutes.

Rays players and coaches clapped as Jeter stood at first base.

After entering the game in an 0-for-12 slump, his longest hitless stretch this season, Jeter broke out of the rut with a bunt single toward third base leading off the bottom of the first inning. He beat the play without a throw, bringing a standing ovation from the crowd.

Four gain spots in NMPA Hall ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DARLINGTON, S.C. – Four new members, who each have made major contributions to auto racing, will be inducted into the National Motorsports Press Association’s Hall of Fame at Darlington.

The class includes Roger Penske, Jack Roush, Robert Yates and Rusty Wallace. Penske’s IndyCar team is the sport’s most successful with a record 15 Indianapolis 500 victories and more than 140 wins overall.

His NASCAR Sprint Cup teams have won 63 races, including a Daytona 500.

He’s won more than 300 races and 20 championships in all forms of racing.

Roush won 24 titles, including 12 manufacturer’s championships, and 119 races in road racing. His NASCAR teams

have won five championships in the sport’s top three divisions, including back-to-back crowns in the Sprint Cup series in 2003 and ‘04. His Cup teams have scored 115 victories, including this year’s Daytona 500.

Yates was one of NASCAR’s top engine builders and carried that success with him when he became a car owner.

Before he retired, his organization won the 1999 Cup championship and 57 Cup races, including three Daytona 500s.

Wallace, the 1989 champion in what is now NASCAR Sprint Cup, ranks eighth on the all-time series wins list with 55 victories. He scored at least one win in a record-tying 16 consecutive seasons.

They will be inducted on Jan. 16 at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center in Concord.

Brian Vickers walks through his garage during practice for this year’s Daytona 500. Vickers came out on the short end of a confrontational with Dale Earnhardt Jr. in that event but has rallied to be in position to reach the Chase for the Championship.

Vickers, others mull Chase chances RICHMOND SCHEDULE B –

rian Vickers sits between a rock and a hard place: 13th in points, needing to gain one spot in this weekend’s 400-lap race at Richmond International Raceway to make his way into the Chase for the Championship for the first time.

He needs to gain 21 points on Matt Kenseth to make the playoff, but must also stay ahead of Kyle Busch, who is another 17 points down.

Gaining the 21 SPORTS points on Kenseth is not as easy as it Greer sounds. Vickers Smith gained just 17 points ■■■ last Sunday at Atlanta on a night where Kenseth wrecked early and looked as if he would lose a lot of points before rallying. Vickers could win on Saturday night and still fall short if Kenseth finishes second and leads the most laps.

“I think it’s very clear as to what we have to do, which is pretty much go there and win the race,” Vickers said. “That’s not necessarily the only way to get in the Chase, but that’s really how we’re going to gain the most amount of points.”

Staying ahead of Busch is not as easy as it sounds. Busch traditionally runs well at Richmond, having won there in the spring to post his seventh top-five finish in nine starts.

“Richmond and Bristol are my two best tracks,” Busch said. “It seems we can go to both of those places and run well no matter what.”

Vickers does not, despite having two poles, the most recent in the spring. In 10 Richmond starts, an eighth is his only finish above 15th (last spring). Five of his Richmond finishes are 32nd or worse. Three more are in the 20s.

“I enjoy racing there,” Vickers said. “But I’d like to have the average finish there that I have at some tracks going into this race for the Chase, of course. We need to go there and repeat the same thing

We were good on the short runs in the spring, but we were bad on the long runs. We think we know why that is and how to fix it. We’ve gotten a lot better since then.”

On the flip side, he could overtake any one of eight drivers, whose magic numbers to clinch a spot in the Chase start with a finish of 24th or better for Carl Edwards. The others: 21st for Kasey Kahne, 20th for Kurt Busch, 18h for Juan Pablo Montoya, 16th for Ryan Newman, 12th for Mark Martin and 11th for Greg Biffle in addition to first (or second with a bonus for leading) for Kenseth.

If Vickers is the one who runs into trouble, his Chase chances will be over.

“I’d be lying if I didn’t say we’re not going to stay on top of it and be aware of it, no different than Atlanta,” Vickers said. “When I was racing with Matt and Kyle, I knew I was also racing with guys for a spot in the Chase.

“We need to get as many points as we can. Could that strategy change throughout the race? Of course it could. If Kyle and/or Matt have a problem – or Greg Biffle or anyone else that’s on the bubble – has a problem during the race, we know we have to finish 20th instead of

first, then of course that’s going to change our strategy.”

Busch, who is not happy with his team’s performance after winning eight races last year, said he is not going to worry about what other drivers are doing.

“There’s nothing you can do,” Busch said. “You can’t change what they’re doing. You can’t make race calls for those guys and tell them that they need to pit or whatever.

There’s really no point in going through that frustration and trying to figure out where those guys are.

You just see what it boils down to at the end of the day.”

Busch said if there is a race that he could have back, it might be the Daytona 500, where he dominated before getting caught in a wreck triggered – ironically – by Vickers and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Vickers said he would like to have back most of the first 19 races.

No matter what happens Saturday, Vickers is pleased that his Red Bull team contended for a spot in the Chase in only its third season of existence and after undergoing a major overhaul after struggling to qualify for races in 2007.

“Although I would have liked for it to come along sooner, I don’t think that would be realistic,” Vickers said. “At the same time I’m also not surprised that we’ve been able to accomplish what we have.

The reason I say that is because we have a lot of really good people.

It’s a brand-new team. We had to start from zero . ... We were the first employees that walked in the shop.

There weren’t tools, much less race cars. The fact we built what we have in this amount of time is impressive. I’m proud of what Red Bull has accomplished, and Toyota, which was a brand-new manufacturer, as well.

“But that being said, there were good resources, a lot of very smart, driven people. That was the potential that I’ve always seen in the team. It’s satisfying to finally see that realized.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Steelers eager for chance to avenge loss to Titans

AP

The Carolina Panthers have stuck with Jake Delhomme as the starting quarterback even though the public has not been happy since he committed six turnovers in playoff loss to Arizona last January.

Panthers go into season facing unknowns, tough schedule

CHARLOTTE (AP) — For a team that went 12-4 last season and returns 20 of 22 starters, there sure is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the Carolina Panthers.

Eight months of bad news will do that.

Consider the spiraling events since Carolina took a 7-0 lead on Arizona in last season’s NFC divisional playoffs: — Jake Delhomme threw five interceptions and lost a fumble, Larry Fitzgerald shredded the secondary, and the visiting Cardinals cruised 33-13.

— Pro Bowl defensive end Julius Peppers declared he wanted to play elsewhere, skipped offseason workouts, then begrudgingly agreed to return on a salary-cap busting oneyear, $16.7 million deal.

— Top run-stuffer Maake Kemoeatu tore his Achilles’ tendon not 30 minutes into the first training camp practice, the first of numerous key injuries.

— Owner Jerry Richardson’s two sons abruptly left the organization, leaving no clear successor to the 73-year-old head man, who is recovering from a heart transplant.

— The Panthers went winless in the preseason, the first-team offense scored only one touchdown

and the defense mimicked the shaky unit from late last season.

All Carolina has to do is overcome all that — and the NFL’s second-toughest schedule — to post consecutive winning seasons for the first time in their brief, inconsistent history.

“You can’t read into the preseason too much,” safety Chris Harris insisted.

With Peppers, dynamic running back DeAngelo Williams and explosive receiver Steve Smith, the Panthers have weapons. Yet there were few bright spots in an 0-4 preseason.

They couldn’t tackle, were slow to adjust to new defensive coordinator Ron Meeks’ system and the offense failed to move the ball consistently. Those are bad signs with Philadelphia, Atlanta and Dallas looming in the first three weeks.

It’ll help if Jon Beason returns this week as he expects. The speedy middle linebacker and top tackler the past two seasons has been sidelined since Aug. 22 with a sprained knee ligament.

Linebackers Thomas Davis and Na’il Diggs also missed time with injuries, and safety Charles Godfrey hopes to play against the Eagles with a cast protecting his broken hand.

“We’ve had a lot of nicks throughout the preseason,” coach John Fox said. “I don’t think we’ve had our whole starting group out there at all.”

It’s unclear who one of those defensive starters will be. Louis Leonard, acquired from Cleveland last week, may take over Kemoeatu’s run-stuffing role on a Peppersled line that has produced little pressure.

Teammates insist Peppers, who had a career-high 141⁄2 sacks last season, is committed. He reported to camp on time and hasn’t missed a practice. But he was mostly invisible in parts of seven quarters of play in the preseason, totaling four tackles, no sacks and one quarterback hurry.

Delhomme’s top receiver remains Smith, the four-time Pro Bowl choice who has recovered from a scary shoulder injury in training camp that limited his work in exhibitions.

The only preseason touchdown by the first team was Williams’ nifty, tackle-breaking 25-yard run against Miami. Williams, who set a franchise record with 1,515 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns in his breakout 2008, looked more than ready to stay among the NFL’s elite backs.

Stewart, Beason return to practice

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart had just participated in his first practice in nearly a month and his ninth in 49 workouts since the spring when fullback Brad Hoover playfully pounced.

“I just told them we’re happy to have you back,” Hoover told Stewart while pointing at reporters, “and not eating cake on the sidelines.”

Jokes were aplenty in the Panthers locker room

Wednesday. Stewart, their No. 2 back, had returned from a left Achilles’ tendon injury on the same day middle linebacker and defensive leader Jon Beason practiced for the first time since spraining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee Aug. 22.

“It was an opportunity to prove everybody wrong, even the docs,” Beason said. “I felt good about it.”

Suddenly a dreary, winless preseason had given

way to optimism four days before Carolina opens against Philadelphia. Minus safety Chris Harris, who was limited with a leg injury, the Panthers had all their key players practicing together for the first time in a month.

“They both looked really good,” coach John Fox said of Beason and Stewart.

“They were good to finally have back.

That was the plan, and I thought they had a good day’s work.”

Beason, who was in-

jured in the second exhibition game against Miami, said he spent countless hours rehabbing. It included about 10 hours a day hooked up to a new-age stim machine, which helped increase blood flow to the knee and strengthen muscles around it.

“It finds what muscle along the lines of the injury is not firing,” Beason said. “Then it forces all the other muscles to work harder so that that muscle has less strain on it.”

ACC TONIGHT

–

WHAT:Clemson (1-0, 0-0 ACC) at Georgia Tech (1-0, 0-0 ACC) KICKOFF: 7:30 p.m., TELEVISION: ESPN. LINE: Georgia Tech by 51⁄2.

SERIES RECORD: Georgia Tech leads 47-24-2.

LAST MEETING: Georgia Tech won 21-17 in 2008..

WHAT’S AT STAKE:An early edge in their respective ACC divisional races. Both teams are coming off easy wins against overmatched opponents (Georgia Tech beat FCS school Jacksonville State 37-17, Clemson knocked off Middle Tennessee 37-14), so this will be their first serious test.

KEP MATCHUP: Georgia Tech’s option offense against Clemson’s defense. The Yellow Jackets rushed for 335 yards in their opening game, and they set up the threat of the pass by throwing for 162 yards.

PLAYERS TO WATCH: Clemson: QB Kyle Parker. The redshirt freshman was only 9 of 20 in his first college game, but he had two touchdown passes and didn’t throw any interceptions. He’ll need to step up his efficiency to take the heat off star RB C.J. Spiller.

Georgia Tech: RB Jonathan Dwyer. The reigning Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year picked up where he left off in 2008, breaking off a 74-yard touchdown run the first time he touched the ball this season.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The stomping their Terrible Towel took on the Tennessee Titans’ sideline last December was nothing compared to the trampling the Pittsburgh Steelers took on the field.

The Titans were Steelers-like in the way they manhandled Pittsburgh up front, hurried Ben Roethlisberger into mistakes, and were more physical. Tennessee’s 31-14 victory on Dec. 21 was Pittsburgh’s only loss in its final 10 games, and it made fans of both teams eager for the rematch.

It never took place — until now.

The Titans and Steelers, teams that always stay in character amid the constant changes that swirl around them in the NFL, open the new season tonight night by playing the game that was anticipated in January.

The Steelers cooperat-

ed — they won the Super Bowl — but the Titans were derailed by Baltimore in the divisional round, and the Ravens then lost to Pittsburgh.

The Titans started 10-0, finished 13-3 and have spent the last sevenplus months pondering how their season — and perhaps the Super Bowl — got away from them.

To the Steelers, the most indelible image of that Titans rout was running back LenDale White and several teammates tromping on Terrible Towels.

The sideline stomp has been replayed countless times in Pittsburgh, where the towel is as much a source of civic pride as it is a symbol of the six-time Super Bowl-winning team it represents.

In Pittsburgh, one doesn’t dare tread on the Terrible Towel, but White said he would gladly do it again if he gets the chance.

Cassel’s status for Sunday up in air THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel practiced for the second time this week, wearing a brace on his left knee as he went through individual drills Wednesday.

His status for Sunday’s season opener at Baltimore? Still up in the air.

Unable to participate fully in practice, Cassel is listed as questionable against the Ravens and coach Todd Haley was again evasive on whether his $63 million quarterback would be available.

Cassel was injured in Kansas City’s second preseason game on Aug. 29.

UVA’s Groh wants more lenient celebration rules CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Virginia coach Al Groh tries to avoid being demonstrative on the sidelines.

However, Groh doesn’t object to reasonable end zone celebrations and hasn’t been above doing a flying chest bump himself after a good play in his eight years at Virginia.

Groh does have a problem with the rules and officials who seem to have no tolerance for even the slightest display of emotion.

In Virginia’s 26-14 loss to William & Mary, Cavaliers quarterback Jameel Sewell was flagged 15 yards for making

an inoffensive symbol with his hands in the end zone after scoring a touchdown. Tribe defensive back B.W. Webb also was flagged for putting his hands in the air after scoring on a 50-yard interception return that essentially closed out the game.

Both scores gave their teams the lead.

“I don’t think it was over the top for my personal sensitivities,” Groh said of both gestures. “Obviously that’s not the sensitivities of the rule-makers, so you have to know what the rules are, and the rules say, virtually, there is no room for celebration.”

Starbucks to keep 30 stores open

NEW YORK (AP) — Coffee-shop heavyweight Starbucks Corp. said Wednesday that it’s scrapping plans to close 30 locations.

The stores were among 800 U.S. sites scheduled to be shut as part of a massive effort to shut underperforming stores and shave costs companywide.

But, speaking at an investor conference Wednesday morning, the company’s chief financial officer said 30 company-owned locations have become more profitable and were re-evaluated.

Businesses ill-prepared for flu BOSTON (AP) — Many American businesses are unprepared to deal with widespread employee absenteeism in the event of an outbreak of swine flu, according to a Harvard School of Public Health study released Wednesday.

The survey found that two-thirds of the more than 1,000 businesses questioned nationwide said they could not maintain normal operations if half their workers were out for two weeks. Four out of every five businesses expect severe problems if half

their workers are out for a month.

“What we found is that a minority of businesses have started some sort of emergency planning,” said Robert Blendon, a professor of health policy and leader of the project sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Most, I don’t think, have thought through the implications of something so widespread.”

Companies may have been fooled into complacency by the relative mild nature of the first wave of swine flu that swept the

U.S. last spring, and are too concerned about the overall economic situation to worry about future problems, he said.

The survey found that about three-quarters of businesses offer paid sick leave for some employees, but only 35 percent offer paid leave for workers who need to stay home to take care of sick family members or children forced to stay home if schools are closed.

Those policies should be loosened during an outbreak, Blendon said.

“If this hits, there is really need for some flexibility.”

The survey also found that nearly half of all companies required a doctor’s note before granting someone sick leave, and about 70 percent required a note before someone can return to work, yet few had considered getting rid of that policy during a medical emergency.

The CDC is suggesting that companies waive that rule during a flu pandemic to relieve strain on overworked doctor’s offices, said agency spokesman Glen Nowak.

US may extend guarantee program

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal regulators may offer a limited emergency extension of a temporary rescue program that guarantees hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. banks’ debt.

The board of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. voted at a public meeting Wednesday to open to public comment two alternatives: simply ending the yearlong program on Oct. 31 as planned, or offering the six-month emergency extension in some cases. The comment period will last for 15 days.

Oil pushes higher on weakening dollar

NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices pushed higher for a second straight day Wednesday on continued weakening of the U.S. dollar and as investors awaited the outcome of an OPEC meeting that is expected to result in no change in production levels.

Benchmark crude for October delivery climbed $1.15 to $72.25 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

EADS chief wants talks on dispute

PARIS (AP) — The head of Airbus’ parent company says the European jet maker did nothing wrong in a trade dispute with the U.S. over government subsidies, and called for a negotiated settlement with archrival Boeing Co. In an interview published Wednesday, EADS N.V. chief Louis Gallois also defended the system of government launch aid for Airbus, saying it was more transparent than “opaque subsidies” that he said Boeing receives.

DILBERT

the state from the small to the Fortune 500, is urging its members to prepare.

“Companies have to prepare now because the flu spreads so quickly there won’t be enough time to make these business-critical decisions when it hits,” said Karen Choi, the organization’s senior vice president of management and human resources services.

Companies need to train workers to handle the jobs of absent colleagues and need to determine which jobs can be handled remotely from home, she said.

Pedestrians walk past a McDonald’s outlet in Shenyang in northeast China’s Liaoning province.

McDonald’s sales growth slows CHICAGO (AP) — McDonald’s Corp., the world’s largest fast-food chain, said Wednesday sales in established restaurants rose 2.2 percent globally in August, the smallest monthly gain since February.

Deal-seeking customers have flocked to McDonald’s low-priced menu

amid the recession, which has helped propel the burger chain in recent months. But a decline in Asia and weaker growth in the U.S. offset some strength in Europe.

Shares of Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald’s Corp. fell $1.22, or 2.2 percent, to $55.00 in premarket trading.

The world’s largest fastfood chain said sales at restaurants open at least 13 months, a key measurement that adjusts for the effects of expansion, rose 1.7 percent in the U.S. and 3.5 percent in Europe. In the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa regions, the figure fell 0.5 percent.

The last time system-

wide comparable sales were so low was in February, when the company said they rose 1.4 percent, without being adjusted for a calendar shift.

In the U.S., Angus Third Pounders and McCafe espresso-based coffees were strong sellers, the company said.

Geithner pushes college savings changes WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration wants states to make changes to college savings plans that it hopes will expand their use by middle class families.

Treasury Secretary

Timothy Geithner says the Section 529 savings plans can help Americans to save for college because of the tax savings they offer.

But a new Treasury report found that only 5

percent of middle-income families had the college savings plans, compared with one-third of high-income families.

To expand the number of families using the plans, Geithner says

states should expand the types of investment funds that can be used, pursue policies that would eliminate certain home-state biases and work to reduce investment fees.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration’s mortgage relief program is finally gaining traction.

Nearly one in five eligible homeowners have been offered help so far, the government said Wednesday.

The plan, launched with great fanfare in March, had been slow to get going, but more than 571,000 loan modification offers, or 19 percent of those eligible, have been sent to nearly 3 million homeowners. That’s up from 15 percent at the end of July.

More then 360,000 borrowers, or 12 percent of those eligible, have signed up for threemonth trials, according to the Treasury Department report. The modifications reduce their monthly payments to more affordable levels.

While participation has been building, “we recognize that much more has to be done to help homeowners,” Michael Barr, assistant Treasury secretary for financial institutions, said in remarks prepared for a House hearing Wednesday.

Treasury says 48 mortgage companies are now involved in the program, up from 38 in July.

Nevertheless, housing advocates say getting approved for a modification is a time-consuming, bureaucratic nightmare.

Many borrowers, are also wary of signing up because they are worried their payment will rise after the three-month trial period is over.

“You can absolutely understand why people are reluctant to sign these documents,” said Bruce Dorpalen, director of housing counseling at Acorn Housing, a nonprofit group.

Sebelius unveils new food safety Web site WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is rolling out a new Web site designed to streamline food safety information for consumers.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius an-

nounced the new Web site — www.foodsafety. gov — on Wednesday during the Consumer Federation of America’s food policy conference.

The site will put food-related information from all federal agencies in

one place, including recall and contamination alerts and tips on how to safely handle food.

The Web site is a joint effort between HHS, the Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration.

Fed news sends stocks higher NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market extended its gains to a fourth day as the Federal Reserve said the economy was stabilizing.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index, which is the basis for many mutual funds, reached an 11-month high as industrial stocks rallied. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 50 points to its second-highest close of the year.

The market stumbled briefly following the release of the Fed’s report on regional economies, which also found that consumer spending would rise but only because of car purchases linked to the government’s brief Cash for Clunkers program. The report also said the job market remains weak.

The prolonged slump in consumer spending has been one of the most serious points of worry for

economists, and the Fed’s warning about it deflated some of the market’s optimism. About 70 percent of the U.S. economy depends on spending by consumers.

Matt Lloyd, chief investment strategist at Advisors Asset Management, said investors were jittery following the Fed’s report because many traders are fearful of a correction following a 50 percent surge in stocks over the past six months.

The Dow rose 49.88, or 0.5 percent, to 9,547.22. The index has added 267 points, or 2.9 percent, in four days. It was the Dow’s second-highest close of the year, just below its Aug. 27 close.

The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 7.98, or 0.8 percent, to 1,033.37, while the Nasdaq composite rose 22.62, or 1.1 percent, to 2,060.39.

WINSTON-SALEM — Pace Airlines Inc., a charter airline and maintenance company, has cut up to two-thirds of its 300-member work force just weeks after losing a major maintenance contract with Continental Airlines Inc. Pace Airlines cut between 125 and 215 employees at its maintenance operation in Winston-Salem, the Winston-Salem Journal reported Wednesday.

The company had about 300 local full- and parttime workers. Pace also has operations in Atlantic City, N.J., and Dallas.

Company owner William Rodgers Sr. declined to specify how many jobs were cut.

Rodgers bought the company in June and pledged a 120-day program to improve its finances. In a memo to employees Friday, Rodgers said he had secured “a multimilliondollar line of credit” with a source he did not iden-

tify. The money was supposed to be available to the company by Wednesday.

Late last month, Pace lost a contract to perform heavy-maintenance checks on some of Continental’s 737 aircraft.

The Winston-Salem company had landed the deal, which was supposed to run through at least 2010, in December 2007.

Pace employees said they have had little work to perform since losing

the Continental contract.

Pace also runs a charter-airline service from its base at Winston-Salem’s Smith-Reynolds Airport.

The company owes the Airport Commission of Forsyth County more than $888,000 in overdue lease payments. Pace started falling behind on its $145,000-a-month rent in October, airport commission chairman Tom McKim said, but has made partial payments from time to time.

Taxpayers face heavy losses on auto bailout

WASHINGTON (AP) — Taxpayers face losses on a significant portion of the $81 billion in government aid provided to the auto industry, an oversight panel said in a report released Wednesday.

The Congressional Oversight Panel did not provide an estimate of the projected loss in its latest monthly report on the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program.

But it said most of the

$23 billion initially provided to General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC late last year is unlikely to be repaid.

“I think they drove a very hard bargain,” said Elizabeth Warren, the panel’s chairwoman and a law professor at Harvard University, referring to the Obama administration’s Treasury Department. “But it may not be enough.”

The prospect of recovering the government’s

assistance to GM and Chrysler is heavily dependent on shares of the two companies rising to unprecedented levels, the report said. The government owns 10 percent of Chrysler and 61 percent of GM. The two companies are currently private but are expected to issue stock, in GM’s case by next year.

The shares “will have to appreciate sharply” for taxpayers to get their money back, the report said.

For example, GM’s market value would have to reach $67.6 billion, the report said, a “highly optimistic” estimate and more than the $57.2 billion GM was worth at the height of its share value in April 2008.

And in the case of Chrysler, about $5.4 billion of the $14.3 billion provided to the company is “highly unlikely” to ever be repaid, the panel said.

GM could keep Opel FRANKFURT (AP) — A person familiar with General Motors Co.’s talks on Opel said Wednesday that the company’s board of directors is reviewing four outcomes as it debates the future of its Germanbased unit, including the possibility of keeping Opel or letting it slide into bankruptcy protection.

The 13-member board, meeting in Detroit on Wednesday, also discussed whether it should accept bids from a consortium of Magna International Inc. and Russia’s Sberbank or a competing offer from RHJ International, a Brussels-based investment house, the person told The Associated Press.

A recommendation, which would have to be approved by the trust overseeing Opel, could have come later Wednes-

day with a formal announcement today.

Ruesselsheim-based Adam Opel GmbH, whose brands also include Britain’s Vauxhall, was transferred to a government-backed trust just ahead of parent GM’s bankruptcy. The trust holds 65 percent of Opel, with GM holding 35 percent.

Presumably, GM could also wait to make a decision on the fate of Opel at a later date, though that seems increasingly unlikely.

GM for months has stated its preference for the RHJ bid because the Brussels-based private equity firm is more likely to restructure Opel while preventing GM’s car designs and other technology from going to companies that compete against GM’s Chevrolet brand in Russia and other parts of the world.

‘CITIZEN JANE’

Harrington tests the mainstream

BY MITCH STACY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

CLEARWATER, Fla. – In a sprawling studio, Kevin Harrington is watching a TV pitchman put a shapely model through her paces on a new exercise contraption soon to be featured in a half-hour infomercial.

The machine is all foldable bars and straps and handles, which can be utilized for 88 different exercises. Harrington is excited. He thinks the $99 item is going to be a huge seller.

“It’s hard to look at that and say ’This is going to be the next billion-dollar project,”’ Harrington says to a visitor. “If it only does $250 million, we’ll be happy.”

Harrington, who has produced some of TV’s most well-known infomercials, has a knack for knowing what will sell and how to sell it. He’s made a vast for-

tune convincing impulse-buying insomniacs they just can’t do without the latest kitchen gadget, cleaning device or exercise video. The latest spot is for “Tony Little’s Private Trainer,” named for the long-haired “You can do it!” guy.

Harrington, seen on ABC’s new show “Shark Tank,” claims to have invented the infomercial back in the mid1980s. Today he reigns over a marketing empire that includes a truckload of “as seen on TV” goods and ownership in the Tampa-area studio that cranks out the long-form commercials.

“I call him an infomercial visionary,” says Little, whose boisterous TV pitches for exercise gear and DVDs have made him a celebrity. “He’s very good at selecting the right products, selecting the right talent.”

Usually behind the curtain, Harrington is stepping in front of the cameras this year on “Shark Tank,” a reality show that has inventors and entrepreneurs pitching products to a snide panel of marketing moguls. That led to him showing off his St. Petersburg mansion for Joan Rivers on a new reality show called “How’d You Get So Rich?”

His memoir – “Act Now!: How I Turn Ideas Into Million Dollar Products” — has just been published. And he can’t stop talking about a deal that places one of his products — the Flowbee, a haircutting device that vacuums up the locks as they are shorn — in a movie that has Kevin Spacey playing an inventor who peddles stuff on informercials.

A likable, fast-talking wheeler-dealer who formed his first

company as a teenager, Harrington sees his mainstream exposure as an opportunity not only to discover new products he can market on TV but to earn a degree of respect for his work.

The industry has already gotten a boost from Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan, infomercial pitchmen who starred in a reality TV show on the Discovery Channel. Mays died of a heart attack in June but is still being seen in ads.

“In the last couple of years, I think the industry has gotten a little more credit for being critical,” says Harrington, whose wiry build and blonde-tipped crew cut make him look much younger than his 52 years. “It’s not as schlocky as it used to be, for sure.”

An expert on consumer behavior echoed Harrington’s assessment.

“He brought that sense of legitimacy and the idea that informercials are not necessarily hucksterism, they are meeting the legitimate needs of legitimate consumers,” says Thomas C. O’Guinn, a University of Wisconsin marketing professor. “He made it OK to buy stuff from informercials.

He kind of added a little class to it.”

Harrington, married with two sons, is doing OK for a guy whose staggering business losses once forced him into bankruptcy and who still falls flat with two out of every three products he launches.

He started working young, first in his father’s taverns and restaurants in his native Cincinnati. Before long he was peddling high chairs to pregnant ladies, car rustproofing, air conditioners and weight-loss products.

The way Harrington tells it, the informercial was born in 1984 when he paid a Cincinnati cable TV station for cheap blocks of overnight air time to market small business opportunities to potential franchisees.

Soon he was buying dead air time in markets all over the country and on the fledgling Discovery Channel.

Others, like Ron Popeil, had used shorter television spots to market products directly to viewers, but Harrington says the program-length pitch was his innovation.

His 1987 informercial helped generate millions of dollars in sales for a vacuum food-storage system called the Food Saver.

At a Philadelphia home show, he found a guy named Arnold Morris mesmerizing a crowd with how his kitchen knives could cut through nails and aluminum cans. He filmed him doing his pitch, and the knives with the surgical steel blades became a phenomenon in the socalled “direct response” marketing industry.

Harrington’s infomercials generated millions in sales for hand-hammered Chinese woks, kitchen mixers and car-washing systems, the latter of which gave Mays his first TV exposure.

A terrible crime is made all the more unfathomable when the least likely suspect is accused, and a woman must put aside her grief to aid the police before the chance at justice is lost forever.

These are the circumstances in which one extraordinary woman finds herself entwined in “Citizen Jane,” a Hallmark Channel Original Movie premiering at 9 p.m. Saturday, which tells the true story of the lone woman who refused to let a killer escape, even at the risk of her own life.

Ally Sheedy – she of the iconic “Brat Pack” films – Sean Patrick Flanery (“The Dead Zone”), Nia Peeples (“The Young and the Restless”) and world-renowned musician Meat Loaf Aday bring the harrowing true-crime tale to life. The film encores at 11 p.m.

Saturday, 1 a.m.

Sunday and 9 p.m. Sept. 18 and 3 p.m. Sept. 19.

Jane Alexander (Sheedy) had it all: A wonderful family, personal and financial success and a deep romance with Tom O’Donnell (Flanery). A family friend for 25 years prior to their romance, Tom helped Jane cope with the death of her husband, and captivated her with his charming, unflappable personality.

Thursday, Sept. 10, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Ryan Phillippe, 35; Amy Irving, 56; Joe Perry, 59; Jose Feliciano, 64 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Focus on incorporating interesting people into your life. This is a year to live, learn and discover what makes you feel content and happy. A change that you face may not be to your liking but you will realize it’s exactly what you need. The possibilities are endless.

Your numbers are 5, 17, 28, 33, 38, 44, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Reconnect with someone from your past and the information you gather will help with a current partnership. Your experience will save you from repeating mistakes. You’ll be positioned for success. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your sensitivity toward others will help you pick up important signals from colleagues, peers or people you don’t know well. Use that information to make a decision regarding your job security. Inquire into other possible positions. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t let negative people convince you that things are falling apart when you are actually sitting in a pretty good position. Times may be changing but that doesn’t mean that the alterations won’t favor you in the end. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Anything you can do to make your place more comfortable and inviting should be your goal. Taking care of responsibilities or problems brought on by a family member will make your life easier and less stressful. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let your emotions rule your head. An opportunity that is offered may not be the answer, once you look at what it entails. However, it may lead to a more efficient and affordable way of doing things. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You should be able to make a professional move that will free up time to work on something you enjoy more.

A small business may be your ticket to financial freedom. Don’t spend without knowing what you’re getting in return. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Bypass anyone giving you a hard time and focus on what brings you joy and knowledge. Time spent with people you find inspiring will lead to an interesting partnership. Visit an unusual destination or someone from a different cultural background. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A jealous peer may withhold information that can help you get ahead. Don’t be afraid to get involved in groups that contribute to your goals. You have great ideas but you need to share with people who can help you get them up and running. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will have to move fast in order to stay ahead of someone with more experience and few scruples. Love is in the stars but, if you think with your heart instead of with your head, you will make a mistake that will cost you emotionally as well as financially. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is a lot you can do to raise your financial status. A contract can be developed and signed that will promise you security as well as a much needed change. Don’t get angry – get moving. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will have everything under control as long as you immediately address personal issues involving money.

You can cut a deal or enhance your position, enabling you to strive for a goal you had to previously give up. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can strike a deal that’s workable but only if you are clear about who will be responsible for what. Get everything in writing. Expect to have to make some concessions if you want to proceed. ★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

It’s one of life’s Official Rules: When you look for something you’ve lost, you’ll find it in the last place you look. Some players are equally frustrated when they look for a missing queen.

West led the deuce of hearts against 3NT, and East took the king and shifted to the ten of clubs: jack, queen. West continued with the ace and a low club, setting up his suit, so South needed the next eight tricks. He took the KA of diamonds, but when West discarded, South could only lead a heart to escape for down two.

“So much for ‘eight ever, nine never,’ ” South said.

RANDOM

Instead of conducting a random search for the queen of diamonds, South should try to discern the East-West distribution.

After South takes the king of clubs, he cashes three spades.

When West follows, South knows he had five clubs, four hearts (from the opening lead) and at least three spades. So West had one diamond at most, and South can take the king and finesse with his jack to bring home nine tricks.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 10 9 H Q 8 D A J 10 9 4 C K J 6. You open one diamond, your partner responds one heart, you bid 1NT and he jumps to three hearts.

What do you say?

ANSWER: Partner’s jump in his own suit is invitational to game.

He will typically have about 10 high-card points with a six-card suit. Since your values are maximum and your heart support is acceptable, you can bid on. Try 3NT. If partner’s hand is shapely, he can go to four hearts.

South dealer N-S vulnerable

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

Mud bath A baby elephant takes a mud bath at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City on Tuesday. The baby, which hasn’t been named, will go on public display Friday.

Jay-Z, “The Blueprint 3” (Roc Nation) After 11 studio albums, 13 years, dozens of hits and untold millions of records sold, there’s not much left to debate about Jay-Z. He has either outlasted, outsold or outsmarted all the competition. You either like his music or you don’t. So the only comparisons that can be made are to himself.

That said, Jay’s new “The Blueprint 3” is on par with his past work.

The beats are the best money can buy, from Kanye West, Timbaland, Pharrell, Swizz Beats and

others. The lyrics are creative, imperial and evocative. Overall, it’s a state-of-the-art performance by arguably the greatest to ever speak ghetto poems over music.

Then why does it feel like something’s missing?

More than any other modern genre, rap is built on struggle. On “Blueprint 3,” it seems that Jay’s only problem, other than where to land his private jet, is those pesky haters.

And since he spends so much time reminding us that “my track record speaks for itself / I’m so instrumental,” even the naysayers seem like leftover specks from the 2003 “Dirt Off Your Shoulder”

Animated characters crafted with love and care “9” – Despite their roughhewn appearance, the resourceful rag dolls in “9” obviously were crafted with great love and care, both by the scientist who made them in the film and the mastermind behind them in real life, director Shane Acker. If only as much complex thought had gone into the script. The animation is so breathtaking in its originality, so weird and wondrous in its detail, you wish there were more meat to the screenplay from Pamela Pettler, who previously wrote “Monster House.” Based on Acker’s 2004 animated short of the same name, which was nominated for an Oscar, “9” follows a group of creatures who represent the last vestige of humanity in a postapocalyptic world. It’s set in the future after a war between mankind and machines. (Parents, don’t be fooled: It may look like a cute and clever cartoon, but “9” is genuinely frightening.) 9 (voiced by

Elijah Wood) awakens to find no people are left, but there are a few others like him: tiny, fabric dolls stitched together coarsely but sturdily, with lenses for eyes. Each has a number on his or her back signifying who they are and the order in which they were created. PG-13 for violence and scary images. 79 min. Three stars out of four.

– Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” – Beyond its generic, forgettable title, this feels like some throwaway 1980s TV movie, with its implausible premise, dizzying twists and melodramatic score. Actually, its origins go back even further – it’s a remake of a 1956 thriller, one of the last movies Fritz Lang directed – but in modernizing the story, writerdirector Peter Hyams (“End of Days”) merely makes it feel rushed and insignificant. Hyams gets

very little right here: not journalism, not romance, not even fundamental things like pacing and suspense, which are so crucial to making this genre work. He even manages to squander Michael Douglas in a juicy role as a slimy district attorney eyeing the Louisiana governorship. Douglas appears so infrequently, his villainy seems far less menacing than it should be. Instead, “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” feels like a vehicle for hunky Jesse Metcalfe, who stars as ambitious TV news reporter C.J. Nichols. He suspects prosecutor Mark Hunter has been tampering with DNA evidence to secure convictions because his record is just too perfect, so he sets himself up as the suspect in a prostitute’s murder.

PG-13 for a sex scene, violence and brief strong language. 105 min. One and a half stars out of four.
