Economy slows hub’s pace

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – The promise of the FedEx Corp. cargo hub in the Triad remains a work in progress.

Like the nation and region, FedEx has been buffeted by the sluggish economy and haphazard recovery from the recession.

The economic conditions mean that FedEx hasn’t made the strides originally envisioned for the hub when it was announced 12 years ago – an announcement that came during one of the most robust recoveries in modern American economic history.

The plans for FedEx’s latest national cargo hub, which opened in the late spring of last year, were unveiled with fanfare during a press conference at Piedmont Triad International Airport in April 1998. To put the timing of the announcement in context, President Bill Clinton

Here are some key moments in the development of the FedEx Corp. cargo hub project and the controversy surrounding the development: April 1998: FedEx ends months of speculation and negotiations by picking the Piedmont Triad International Airport as the site for its fifth national cargo hub. PTIA officials had competed against five other airports in the Carolinas for the $300 million hub.

Jim Hunt was serving his last term in the state’s top post; and Sen. Kay Hagan, a former five-term state legislator, hadn’t yet been elected to any public office at all.

The construction of the hub and expansion of the airport took about six years after PTIA officials went through more than five years of regulatory review by federal, state and local agencies and environmental court challenges to the project. The new runway to accommodate the hub opened in January of this year, and crews for the airport finished work this summer on the related taxiways that concluded the expansion.

FedEx received a $115 million incentives pledge from the state of North Carolina when the project was announced, and the offer remains one of the five-largest incentives commitments in state history. FedEx will receive incentives payments incrementally as it achieves certain benchmarks.

One year ago, the long-awaited FedEx hub opened at Piedmont Triad International Airport.

Made possible through a $115 million incentives package, the hub offered the promise of 1,500 jobs, with 750 jobs to be created at the outset. But amid an economic downturn, the hub has fallen significantly short of these goals. Area economic development leaders, however, remain optimistic that the full promise of the hub will be realized as the country continues its slow crawl out of the recession. This two-part series looks at the current status of FedEx in relation to the incentives package that brought it to the Triad.

Hub hiring depends on recovery

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – A report distributed by the Piedmont Triad Partnership early last decade, bearing the FedEx corporate logo, indicated that “FedEx plans to hire about 750 workers to start.”

A report issued in 1999 by Regional Technology Strategies Inc. on the project indicated “FedEx currently estimates that when the facility opens ... it will be supported by 225 full-time employees and 525 part-time employees.”

But when the hub opened June 1, 2009, the facility had 160 employees. Now FedEx has 220 workers at the sorting facility, said Jim McCluskey, spokesman at the corporate headquarters in Memphis, Tenn.

“There’s been some small, incremental growth, but it’s growth. Really, in this economy, the fact that we’re even able to

do that is positive,” McCluskey said.

Additional hiring for the hub will be driven by economic factors, he said.

PROMISE “We’re working to generate additional business for DELAYED us that we can get increased volume,” McCluskey said.

At the airport, PTIA Executive Director Ted Johnson said that he’s pleased that construction crews met timetables, during a six-year period, on one of the largest public works projects in the region’s history.

“The site was graded on time, they (FedEx) completed their construction on time, the runway was complete on schedule,” Johnson said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

A Troy professional truck driver who wears a cowboy hat, Herring puts the ponies on the festival circuit in April.

He’s made the rounds with the ponies from southern Georgia to Tennessee since 1999.

“It goes on about every weekend,” Herring said. “We don’t get rained out every often.

We have protection for horses and take it off after the shower is over.”

The pony rides are one of several children’s activities at the festival.

Many parents own a picture of their children on a pony. Herring provides them for parents who do not bring a camera.

“The children love it,” Herring said. “I love it when one goes on for the first time. I love to see that grin. We do a lot of

pictures for these kids.”

A horse-riding friend encouraged Herring to go into the business as a hobby.

“The first pony was a disaster,” Herring recalled. “My first ring was build out of a 5-gallon bucket with concrete and pipe coming out of the side. The ponies tore it to pieces and they went in four different directions. And we have had experiences under roller coaster rides and helicopters and next to trains. But it’s become pretty much of a passion for me now.”

A wide variety of vendors selling food, crafts, homemade jewelry and more offer their goods at the annual festival.

Events were held at Bonnie Place, on N.C. 62 and several its side streets as well and the elementary school campus.

Groundbreaking planned this month for I-85 project ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The N.C. Department of Transportation will break ground on Wednesday, Sept. 29, at 10 a.m. on phase one of the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project in Davidson and Rowan counties near the Yadkin River.

The ceremony will take place at the former

Modular Home Sales site on Seven Oaks Road just south of Clark Road near Lexington. “Turning over the first shovel of dirt on this project will be a historic moment,�

Transportation Secretary Gene Conti said. “I look forward to sharing it with motorists who will benefit greatly from the improvements we’ll make to this criti-

cal stretch of I-85.� The $136 million project will widen nearly 3.5 miles of I-85 from four lanes to eight lanes from north of Long Ferry Road (Exit 81) in Rowan County to just north of the N.C. 150 interchange in Davidson County. It also includes replacing nine bridges, including the I-85 bridge over the Yadkin River, as well as interchange work.

Shanda Squire holds her 6-year-old niece Ionia White in St. Stephen, S.C. Ionia and her brothers, Daquan Gleason and Kamari White, survived the car crash that killed their parents.

3 SC children cope after crash kills mom and dad ST. STEPHEN, S.C. (AP) – Kamari White was the first to know his parents were dead.

The 7-year-old was in the back seat of the family’s 2002 Isuzu Rodeo last Sunday night when the vehicle skidded on its side and crashed violently into a utility pole on state Highway 45 in rural Berkeley County.

The family said the sport utility vehicle swerved to avoid an oncoming car.

Kamari crawled through the shattered glass and out the back window, but then he heard his 6-year-old sister, Ionia White, calling for him. “He went back in not only to save his sister – he tried to save all of them,� maternal grandmother Sharon Gleason said.

The second-grader braved live power lines and re-entered the vehicle where he found Ionia.

A board had bloodied her eye and her leg was pinned beneath something.

He “pulled and pulled�

Gleason said, until Ionia was free and could crawl out with him.

Kamari attempted to do the same for his 10-

year-old brother, Daquan Gleason, but both of his legs were pinned beneath a seat. Firefighters would later pull him out.

Kamari then called out twice for his parents, Michael and Iesha White, who were in the front seats.

They would not answer. “When they didn’t answer, he knew,� Sharon Gleason said.

The wreck left the children orphaned and in the hands of caring relatives with modest means.

Iesha and Michael, who had just moved back to the Lowcountry to find jobs, did not have life insurance or insurance on their vehicle, family members said.

As of last Wednesday, the families were trying to determine how they would pay for the funeral, which is scheduled for 2 p.m. toda at Timberland High School in St. Stephen.

The three children are living with Gleason in her three- bedroom home in St. Stephen that she shares with her husband and 25-year-old daughter, who has cerebral palsy and is confined to

a wheelchair. She wonders where everyone will fit inside the single-story home, but she’s determined to keep them together because she knows that’s what her daughter would want.

Gleason said it will be tough at times but that the children also will have the love and support of their paternal grandmother and aunts and uncles. “It will bring our family closer,� said Shanda Squire, Gleason’s oldest daughter. “We will do what we have to do to take care of these kids.�

The family moved to Michael White’s mother’s home in Pineville in May after he was laid off from his job in Wichita, Kan. Iesha recently took a job as a McDonald’s manager, but he was still looking.

Gleason said her daughter and son-in-law were sweet people who loved their children. Michael, she said, treated 10-yearold Daquan like his own son even though he was 2-years-old when he met Iesha. “Michael is the only dad he knew,� Gleason said.

US woman caught in middle of Iran power struggle DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – Iran’s start-and-stop announcements over the release of one of three detained Americans add up to a distinct message: President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his allies still have a fight on their hands within the ruling ranks.

The confusing signals over the fate of Sarah Shourd – whose

planned Saturday release was personally backed by Ahmadinejad – underscore the wider backlash to efforts at expanding his powers and sway over internal policies and Iran’s foreign affairs, analysts say.

It also points to one of the main fissures in Iran’s conservative leadership: Ahmadinejad and his allies against the powerful judiciary

overseen by Iran’s supreme leader.

The judiciary head, Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani, apparently sees the detainees as his portfolio alone.

On Saturday, the judiciary’s website quoted Tehran’s chief prosecutor, Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi, as saying none of the detained Americans would be released “until the end of the legal procedure.�

Karzai marks 9/11 with appeal over civilian deaths ----

Americans observe anniversary. 6A KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Hamid Karzai marked the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the U.S. on Saturday by insisting the origins of the continued Taliban insurgency are not in Afghanistan.

Karzai did not mention neighboring Pakistan by name, but it was clear he was referring to the insurgent sanctuaries there when he said the war should â&#x20AC;&#x153;focus on the sources and the origins of terrorism.â&#x20AC;?

He said by focusing on Afghanistan, the coalition endangers Afghan civilians who were freed from Taliban rule in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion that followed the 9/11 attacks. He urged NATO to

Greek protesters confront government THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greeceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime minister promised Saturday to lower corporate taxes to help revive the debt-plagued countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shrinking economy, while thousands of protesters marched â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly peacefully â&#x20AC;&#x201C; against the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harsh austerity measures.

Greece narrowly avoided bankruptcy in May when European countries and the International Monetary Fund gave it euro110 billion ($140 billion) through 2012 in emergency loans. The money came on condition Athens make deep cutbacks.

do everything to avoid civilian deaths. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The villages of Afghanistan are not the origins and the sanctuaries of terrorists,â&#x20AC;? Karzai said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Innocent Afghan people should not be the victims in the fight against terrorism.â&#x20AC;?

Civilian deaths are a flashpoint issue in Afghanistan because they seriously undermine support for the war. NATO says it is doing all it can to avoid innocent casualties, but says insurgents often use civilians as human shields during attacks.

The Taliban issued a statement Saturday in which the 9/11 anniversary was mentioned. For nine years â&#x20AC;&#x153;Afghanistan has been burning in the flames of the invasion of the American invaders that started under the pretext of avenging the September event,â&#x20AC;? the statment said.

Pakistani flood victims celebrate Eid in tents MUZAFFARGARH, Pakistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Millions of Pakistani flood victims celebrated Islamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most joyous festival in donated tents and makeshift shelters on Saturday as the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; criticized for an inadequate response to the disaster â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pledged more aid.

The water has receded in many places, but remains head-high in others, forcing victims to stay outside their villages in camps or alone on roadsides.

Girls gathered at one camp near a power plant in the city of Muzaffargarh, sitting on a rug unfurled on the ground near the road as aid workers decorated their hands with intricate henna designs.

Their mothers, hovering behind, said even this small pleasure would soon be gone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the happiness of Eid. What is the happiness?â&#x20AC;? said Amana Bibi, 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have homes.â&#x20AC;?

Afghans in anti-Quran-burning protest KABUL, Afghanistan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Afghans set fire to tires in the streets and shouted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Death to Americaâ&#x20AC;? for a second day Saturday despite a decision by an American pastor to call off plans to burn copies of the Islamic holy book.

But in a country where most people have limited access to newspapers, television and the Internet, most Afghans were unaware of the decision.

The largest protest drew a crowd estimated at more than 10,000 people.

Pastor will â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;not today, not everâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; burn Quran

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rites of remembrance and loss marked the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, familiar in their sorrow but observed for the first time Saturday in a nation torn over the prospect of a mosque near ground zero and the role of Islam in society.

Under a flawless blue sky that called to mind the day itself, there were tears and song, chants, and the waving of hundreds of American flags. Loved ones recited the names of the victims, as they have each year since the attacks.

For a few hours Saturday morning, the political and cultural furor over whether a proposed mosque belongs two blocks from the World Trade Center site mostly gave way to the somber anniversary ceremony and pleas from elected officials for religious tolerance.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Florida pastor says his church will â&#x20AC;&#x153;not today, not everâ&#x20AC;? burn a Quran, even if a mosque is built near ground zero.

Pastor Terry Jones had threatened to burn the Muslim holy book on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks over plans to build an Islamic center near where terrorists brought down the World Trade Center nine years ago.

Obama appeals for tolerance WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obama appealed to an unsettled nation Saturday to honor the memory of the Sept.

11 attacks by hewing to the values of diversity and tolerance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and mistrust,â&#x20AC;? the president declared.

Speaking at the Pentagon, where nine years ago a hijacked plane smashed into the west side of the building and killed 184 people, Obama conjured a solemn remembrance of that horrible day but also spoke strongly in defense of religious freedom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Americans we are not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and never will be â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at war with Islam,â&#x20AC;? the president said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was not a religion that attacked us that September day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was al-Qaida, a

churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was â&#x20AC;&#x153;to expose that there is an element of Islam that Jones is very dangerous and very radical.â&#x20AC;?

Police: 5 missing from gas pipeline blast SAN BRUNO, Calif.

(AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The police chief in the San Francisco suburb where a gas pipeline ruptured and exploded, wiping out homes and killing four people, says 5 people are still missing.

San Bruno police chief Neil Telford made the comment Saturday at a public meeting.

A group of local, state and federal officials toured the damaged area Saturday and described a ghost-town full of remnants of cars melted in driveways and pieces of houses, some left with just the chimney standing.

Besides the 40 homes leveled by the Thursday evening blast, seven were severely damaged, while dozens of other houses suffered less severe damage in the fire that sped across 15 acres.

Officials: Body found is that of missing man HERCULES, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorities confirmed Saturday a body found in a northern California home is that of a 35-yearold man who had been missing since his father was found bludgeoned to death two weeks ago.

The Contra Costa County Coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office positively identified the body of Frederick Sales through dental records, said Hercules police spokeswoman Doreen Mathews.

Police and FBI agents found Salesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body when they returned to the home where his father, 73-yearold Ricardo Sales, was found dead earlier to collect additional evidence.

Double-decker bus crashes in central NY; 4 dead SALINA, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A doubledecker bus that may have made a wrong turn off the highway slammed into a low railroad bridge in the pre-dawn darkness Saturday in a wreck that killed four passengers and critically injured others, authorities said.

The Megabus was carrying 29 people, including the driver, when it rammed the bridge around 2:30 a.m. on the Onondaga Lake Parkway in Salina, a suburb of Syracuse in central New York.

The bus lay on its side after the

crash. Four passengers and the driver remained hospitalized Saturday afternoon. Twenty passengers, including seven Canadian residents, were treated and released, said Don Carmichael, a senior vice president at Coach USA, which operates Megabus.

The bus was too tall to make it under the low-hanging span, said Larry Ives, supervisor of dispatch operations for the Onondaga County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department.

It struck the bridge between two large signs warning that the clear-

ance was 10 feet, 9 inches, photographs from WSYR-TV showed.

The top level of the bus was obliterated in the front.

The driver had head injuries but was speaking to investigators, Onondaga County sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy Herb Wiggins told The Post-Standard newspaper of Syracuse.

The dead included three men and a woman in her teens or early 20s, Sheriff Kevin Walsh told the newspaper. He said there was no indication the driver had been drinking or using drugs.

In first for Afghan war, award goes to living vet WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The first living service member from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to receive the Medal of Honor said Saturday the award honors more than a dozen fellow soldiers who were part of a deadly ambush three years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I remember and what I would like to tell people is that it was not me doing everything,â&#x20AC;? said Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, in a telephone interview from Vicenza Italy, where he now serves.

According to the Army, Giunta, 25, of Hiawatha, Iowa, exposed himself to enemy gunfire to try to save two fellow soldiers.

He will become the eighth service member

to receive the Medal of Honor during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The seven previous medals were awarded posthumously.

Giunta learned of the rare honor when he got a phone call from President Barack Obama on Thursday, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife was with me, and she heard me say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mr. President,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; so we knew then,â&#x20AC;? Giunta told The Associated Press.

Giunta was serving as a rifle team leader with Company B, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment when an insurgent ambush split his squad into two groups on Oct. 25, 2007, in the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan, the White House said in a news release.

JACKSON, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A man enraged over how his wife cooked his eggs in rural eastern Kentucky shot and killed her, his stepdaughter and three witnesses with a shotgun before killing himself on Saturday, a relative of two of the victims said.

Trooper Jody Sims of the Kentucky State Police said 47-year-old Stanley Neace killed the five people in two mobile homes around 11:30 a.m., then went to his home and turned the gun on himself.

Sims said that when state police arrived about an hour after the gunfire began, they heard a single gunshot and found Neaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body on the porch of his home in the mobile home park outside Jackson in Breathitt County.

Sherri Anne Robinson, a relative of two of the victims, said witnesses to the shootings told her that Neace became enraged when his wife did not cook his breakfast to his liking.

Robinson said that when his wife fled to a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trailer, Neace followed and shot her and the others. Robinson says he allowed a young girl to flee.

United Way birthday: Non-profit celebrates 75 years Lisa Williams was hired as an administrative assistant in the Office of Institutional Effectiveness at High Point University.

Williams will provide clerical and administrative support and assistance to the staff of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness.

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A 75th birthday may mark old age in some instances, but for the United Way of Greater High Point, officials say it’s just another beginning.

It’s been 75 years to the day since a group of local leaders formed the nonprofit organization that originally was called the Community Chest. And its formative years were similar to today’s economic climate in some ways.

“The small group of community leaders came together in 1934 and said we need to create an organization,” said Randy Brodd, 2010 campaign chairman, when he spoke about the United Way’s history at a recent Kiwanis Club of High Point meeting. “That was in the middle of the Great Depression, when the unemployment rate had improved to 22 percent.”

About a year later, on Sept. 12, 1935, those leaders officially created the organization. The founders include some familiar and prominent names in High Point, such as H.A. Millis, who served as the organization’s first committee chairman, R.T. Amos and O.A. Kirkman. By the 1980s it adopted the United Way of Greater High Point name.

During its first year, it served five partner agencies – the Salvation Army, the American Red

Cross, the YMCA, the YWCA and the Boy Scouts. It raised $34,000, which is about $500,000 when adjusted for inflation, for those organizations in its first campaign, Brodd said.

Today, it serves 29 partner agencies and sets its goals much higher. Last year’s goal was $4.5 million, which the organization nearly reached. Its 2010 campaign kick-off will be held at 5:30 p.m.

Monday at its office at 201 Church Ave. During the fundraising process this year, president Bobby Smith said the organization will mark

another major milestone when it reaches $100 million in total dollars raised since its inception.

Smith said that will probably happen in October.

“We’re going to cross a major threshold at that point,” Brodd added. “But what’s important is what we’ve done with the money.”

Funds raised are allocated to specific programs within each partner agency “so the community will know where that money is going,” he said.

Smith said recent years have produced challenges for every

nonprofit organization as demand for services has increased and donations have decreased during the recession. But the United Way has remained strong thanks to the same supportive spirit and community that founded it, he said.

Pink Heals Tour inspires High Pointers

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Patricia Townsend was one of the scores of women who donned pink shirts Saturday to honor women battling cancer.

Following a parade down Main Street, in which scores of cancer survivors participated, Townsend, a High Pointer, walked over to the Showplace parking lot to sign her name and a message to a pink fire truck.

Townsend, a six-year cancer survivor, signed a truck partly sponsored for the city Pink Heals Tour visit by High Point University.

Cancer survivors and their families wrote inspirational messages on the sides of the six trucks, each of which was named for a woman impacted by cancer, to be read by those in the next tour city. It was important Saturday for residents to show their love, Townsend said.

“I signed for a friend I see every week who lost her sister to cancer,” Townsend said.

The city was trimmed in pink Saturday to honor women battling cancer.

Many spouses and relatives of women claimed by cancer also were part of the activities. Don Scarborough, HPU vice president for community relations, lost his wife Mikie to cancer.

“It is amazing so many people are signing the truck and then taking pictures for the family,” said Scarborough, who

At the core of the parade was the Pink Heals Tour and local first responders participating in events commemorating Patriot Day, designated in memory of the 2,977 killed in the Sept.

11, 2001, attacks.

The tour made its only stop in North Carolina in High Point.

The parade also included a group of antique cars and representatives

of several health care organizations and scores of their patients and former patients, some shouting cancer-fighting slogans.

Local firefighters sold T-shirts, hosted a raffle and collected donations to raise funds in connection with the event.

All proceeds will be donated to High Point Regional Health System’s LoveLine fund for cancer patients needing financial assistance.

Salvation Army helps people stay afloat ‘T

his community is such a giving community!”

This is the sentiment that is echoed almost everywhere I go and to every event that I attend. The most recent person to reverberate this heartfelt emotion was Capt. Vicki Perez, wife of the effervescent Capt. Tony Perez, who together champion the Salvation Army of High Point. As giving as our community continues to be, the needs in this challenging economic climate are still increasing as many who were once the caring and generous “donors” throughout the many nonprofit organizations now find themselves on the receiving end of the services that they so generously supported in the past. Consider the following scenario on both the “personal” and the organizational level as it is one of the many challenges faced by the Salvation Army family and the smaller “family” families today: Let’s make this “up close and personal.”

You are a family barely making ends meet. The food costs are increasing, the children are growing out of their clothes, their shoes, the utility bills keep going up. The mortgage payment is due.

Somehow even through the financial strain you are keeping afloat – and then something happens and the barely “keeping afloat” is quickly washed away (literally) by a roof which is leaking bucket upon buckets of water. There are rooms of your home unlivable. The onslaught of the leaking water causes general havoc and ruins furniture and ceilings among other things. The house becomes an obstacle course trying to evade the buckets catching

the water and new leaks that continue to form.

Insurance doesn’t cover the ABOUT leaky roof, nor fixes TOWN the ceiling nor Mary buys new Bogest furniture.

■■■ There is no extra money and none can be borrowed. What will you do?

This scenario is a simplified (yes, really) of what is happening at the Salvation Army in the Women’s Shelter and the Boys and Girls Club. The leaky roofs have been patched and patched – $30,000 worth of patching. But now, it has progressed far beyond the patching stage. The only hope is a new roof. The cost is a whopping $231,000! A capital campaign has started to help raise the needed funds. Bill Goodman, who is one half of the dynamic Goodman partnership, is leading the way. The other half is Robin, who is the magnetic force behind the annual Furniture Sale sponsored by the Women’s Auxiliary of the Salvation Army.

I first learned of this situation when I attended the Preview Party for the annual Furniture Sale. It was there that I got the opportunity to talk with Vicki as she and daughter Grace greeted and welcomed. Grace is a fourth grader at Southwest Elementary School this year and it was the “girls night” and she and her mom were all smiles as mother and daughter had special time together and with the potential customers. The next day would be the “guys day” as Tony and the

Perez sons, Zachary and Caleb would help pack the sold furniture and load it into the cars.

As I spoke with Vicki and Grace it became clear that the Perez family has embraced High Point just as High Point has embraced them. Tony has an interesting story about how he got involved with the Salvation Army and maybe someday I can share it with you. Just as Vicki, dressed in her “captain’s suit,” and I were talking Tony, Caleb and Zachary, dressed in their Saturday “work” clothes, made a surprise appearance. Whenever I see Tony, I always have to tease him about his incredible “media” visibility – whether it be on television when he sits up on top of the High Point Bicycle and Hobby Shop to “Ham It Up” soliciting hams from motorists, or ringing the bell for the Red Kettle, collecting canned foods at the Sealy/Fox 8 Christmas concerts or in The High Point Enterprise for any of a number of other escapades.

Seriously, the most recent is something that you probably know about but is worth reminding you. Kudos once again go to A Cleaner World that not only helps to sponsor the “Give a Kid a Coat” campaign but also now have partnered the efforts to restock the Salvation Army “Family Stores” through the “Donate Goods ...

Do Good” campaign.

This will be an ongoing program where you can donate clothing or small household items at A Cleaner World locations. Last week, a new “Family Store” opened in north High Point near the corner of Eastchester and Skeet

Club (next to Big Lots).

Kudos also need to go to Furnitureland South.

They donate all of the furniture to the annual sale that is so anticipated that people begin to line up in the wee hours of the morning. In the recurring challenging economic theme and with retail sales down throughout almost every industry, it would be easy and profitable for Furnitureland South just to sell the new furniture in their own outlet or clearance center. Kudos to the Harris family and to Furnitureland South.

I could go on and on but I think this personal message from Tony says it all: “Friends, The Salvation Army of High Point really needs your help. In the current economy, many people are struggling. These are our neighbors who have lost their jobs and are just trying to survive. Most of them never expected to ever have to turn to The Salvation Army for help. But more and more, they are coming to us for assistance with food, clothing, bills, or to help keep a roof over their heads.

This year has been especially hard, but your donation is a gift that will give hope and make a difference for families

in need. From all of us at The Salvation Army, thank you and God bless you.”

Lastly I end this column on a very sad note. Five-year-old Kate Thornton lost her courageous two-year inspirational battle with leukemia. Please pray for the entire Thornton family including Mom Susan, Dad Joe, brothers Jarod and Parker and sisters Julia Faith and Bella and grandparents Glenda and Jerry Williamson. My heart aches in sadness for them. Please count your blessings.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – A South Carolina development company won financial assistance and a letter of support from the city of Winston-Salem Friday for its plans to renovate two downtown buildings.

The company, U.S. Development Co. of Columbia, S.C., had asked the Winston-Salem City Council to support its efforts to renovate the Pepper Building at the corner of Fourth and Liberty streets and Coe Plaza on Trade Street.

The company wants to turn Coe Plaza into apartments and a park. Its plans for the Pepper Building are

still tentative but include apartments and shops.

The city council approved the request 7-1. Council Member Wanda Merschel, who represents the city’s Northwest Ward, voted against the request.

The council’s decision means the city will offer U.S. Development up to $168,000 in tax breaks on Coe Plaza.

The city intends to pay back $16,800 of the property taxes from the building each year for 10 years.

The decision also means the council will support the company’s request to the federal government for financing at a governmentbond rate for part of the renovations to the Pepper Building.

Nick Singer, the coordinator of an Oklahoma City atheistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coalition of Reason,â&#x20AC;? recently received $5,250 from its national counterpart to erect the billboard along Interstate 44 near the Oklahoma State Fair.

Atheist billboard provokes Christians OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Atheists in Oklahoma City have erected a billboard seeking fellow non-believers, and Satanists have scheduled a conference in a city-owned building, drawing criticism from ministers in a state where more than eight out of 10 people say they are Christians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a question of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Should you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? said Dan Fisher, pastor of the Trinity Baptist Church in Yukon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re poking a finger in your eye.â&#x20AC;?

Nick Singer, the coordinator of a local atheistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coalition of Reason,â&#x20AC;? recently received $5,250 from its national counterpart to erect the billboard along Interstate 44 near the Oklahoma State Fair, which opens Wednesday. Its

message reads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in God? Join the club.â&#x20AC;?

Similar billboards were recently put up in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Texas and Washington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The billboard was designed to get a little bit of a response, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not meant to be directly insulting,â&#x20AC;? Singer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a sign to like-minded people that we are here.â&#x20AC;?

Pope thanks UK for work ahead of trip VATICAN CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pope Benedict XVI thanked the British this week for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;vast amount of workâ&#x20AC;? they have put into his upcoming visit and said he hoped their efforts would pay off.

Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip, which started Thursday and ends today, has been controversial from the start, in large part because of the cost: up to 12 million pounds ($18.5 million) for British taxpayers, not counting extra policing costs.

Pilgrims have been asked to pay up to 25 pounds to help offset the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own bill, which is estimated at an additional 10 million pounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am aware of the vast amount of work that has gone into the preparations for the visit, not only by the Catholic community but by the government, the local authorities in Scotland, London and Birmingham,â&#x20AC;? Benedict said in English at his weekly general audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to say how much I appreciate the efforts that have been made to ensure that the various events planned will be truly joyous celebrations.â&#x20AC;?

The pope said he was looking forward to beatifying Cardinal John Henry Newman, a 19th century Anglican convert to Catholicism whose Sept.

19 beatification is a central reason for the trip.

Benedict called Newman a â&#x20AC;&#x153;truly great Englishmanâ&#x20AC;? who had led an â&#x20AC;&#x153;exemplaryâ&#x20AC;? life as a priest. He said he hoped the beatification would inspire more people to get to know his wisdom.

Oklahoma also has various â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godâ&#x20AC;? billboards that purport to pose questions and observations from the Almighty, like: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot here?â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;What part of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thou shalt not ...â&#x20AC;&#x2122; didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you understand?â&#x20AC;? and

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life is short. Eternity isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

That campaign was funded by an anonymous donor in 1998 and later expanded as part of a public service campaign of the Outdoor Advertising Association of America, an industry trade group.

No one has questioned the constitutional right of atheists to erect a billboard or Satanists to rent a public hall, but there are questions about how much of a crowd theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll draw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People here, the vast majority, still hold a regard for scripture and traditional biblical values,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Blair, pastor of the Fairview Baptist Church in Edmond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If liberalism, if the Devil himself, can make inroads in Oklahoma, that would be a great victory (for them) to be trumpeted across the land.â&#x20AC;?

The Bible commands us to love our neighbor Several opinions have been expressed about the location of the mosque in New York City.

Over 50 years ago when I joined the U.S. Marine Corps, I took an oath to “defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

I still am bound by that oath in heart although not by law. The U.S. Constitution is the world’s second-greatest document after the Holy Bible, in my opinion.

The First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech ....” Worship and free exercise thereof is protected by our treasured Constitution. This right is not allowed in some Islamic countries. The United States is a great nation because of hard-earned freedoms.

The lower Manhattan area of New York City has a large Islamic population with only two small mosques in which to worship.

Our Constitution allows them to have a place to worship. To build a mosque within two blocks of the WTC site has been called insensitive to those who lost loved ones on Sept. 11; but there is a group of people who lost loved ones who have formed an organization, “September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows.” They announced support of the mosque project.

It’s a part of Jesus’ command to love our neighbor, and our neighbors are of different religions. People of other religions will judge us and our faith by our Christian actions. All of us will remember all our lives the evil thing that happened at the WTC

It’s time for us to defend our religious freedom Gen. George Washington, father of our country, and the Rev. John Gano were very close friends.

Gano was founding pastor of Jersey Baptist Church in 1755 in Davidson County. Washington was a devout Episcopalian. He studied the Scriptures each day and prayed for the nation by reading the Bible. He came to believe the mode of baptism was immersion. So he asked Gano, the chaplain general, to immerse him in the Potomac River (see

FedEx can grow with economy

A

dozen years ago, when FedEx received a $115 million incentives pledge from the state of North Carolina to locate its Southeast cargo hub here, officials envisioned having 1,500 full- and part-time workers at full capacity. The FedEx hub had 160 workers when it opened in June 2009. That figure has swelled to 220, far below the expectation 12 years ago that 750 workers would be on board when hub operations began.

Much of the discrepancy appears to be the result of a sluggish economy and much slower than expected recovery from recession.

One bright spot is that construction of the hub and related projects provided work for between 1,000 and 1,500 workers. Another is the airport’s third runway opened in January of this year and work on related taxiways concluded this summer. Still another bright spot was the Memphis, Tenn.based shipping giant’s first quarter earnings report should be better than expected when the fiscal year began.

While the “boom” has been slower to arrive than anticipated, we agree with Ted Johnson, retiring executive director at Piedmont Triad International Airport that “FedEx is here, and they’ve got the potential to grow the facility ... to grow with what the economy does.”

FedEx already has proven to be a magnet for some companies, and that pull only should get stronger, much stronger, as economic conditions improve.

It has been a long time developing but, hopefully, the reaping of a bountiful harvest for the Triad and North Carolina shouldn’t be too far into the future.

What about Scripture that says love your enemies?

I find it so amazing that Ray Alcon (Your View, Sept. 6, “Bible didn’t come through the church”)

can find the Scriptures in the Bible that are correct, then he falls in the trap that a lot of other people who call themselves Christian do.

Alcon says that if the president is a Christian, he is the Queen of England. Well, if Alcon found the parts about the church, I’m sure he ran across the part that says no man knows another man’s heart but that man and God – or did he skip over that along with the verse where Jesus said love your enemies?

It amazes me the hatred that Christians have for their fellow man regardless of their religious beliefs. So what if he is Christian, Muslim, Hindu or whatever?

What different would it make?

Everybody that is white, AngloSaxon is not Christian. People voiced concern about Kennedy being Catholic. Get over it.

And God, please save me from the “ Christians.”

Here is one response: • President Obama is not a Muslim, but what would it matter if he were? I’m sick and tired of the bigotry and hatred directed at him over this non-issue.

It’s how you play not what you wear, but c’mon ...

t’s the silly season again.

No, I’m not talking about the 52 days that are left in the run-up to the off-year elections that began on Labor Day and end on Nov. 2.

I’m talking about the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision season that will end Jan. 10, 2011, with determination of a mythical national champion. Remember “mythical” was the adjective sports pundits used for six decades when the news service polls (The Associated Press, United Press, then United Press International and perhaps a couple of others) chose college football’s national champion.

There’s a different process to determine who plays in the national championship game these days. “Division I FBS football is the only NCAA sport without a formal tournament to determine an undisputed national champion,” Wikipedia explains. “FBS schools instead play in a series of postseason bowl games, culminating in the BCS National Championship Game, which attempts to crown a single national champion.”

The result is the same. Until the NCAA allows a playoff series similar to those employed by the Division I Football Championship Subdivision, Division II and Division III and in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (where the national champion has been decided by a post-season playoff system annually since 1956), the top-tier champion will remain mythical.

Before that mythical national champion is “crowned” in January, 68 (56.6 percent) of the 120 FBS teams will play in a bowl game, many of them getting a post-season reward by winning only six games – no more than half their games. And, if history repeats, a couple of win-them-all teams will be ignored when participants in the bowl chosen for “title” game.

I noticed something else is making the 2010 college football season even sillier – the uniforms some of the teams are wearing.

For many years, pals with whom I grew up and I have thought Penn State had boring (even ugly) uniforms ever since Rip Engle was the Nittany Lion coach. Why? Because for the second half of the 20th century, they looked exactly like the hand-me-down uniforms we wore as Beaver Falls (Pa.) Junior High School players in the late 1940s. Note: When Engle was hired away from Brown University by

Penn State in 1950, he brought along his former quarterback at Brown (Joe Paterno) as an assistant coach. Paterno succeeded Engle after the 1965 season and, unless you don’t care a whit about college football, you know the rest of the story.

OPINION Sonny Hedgecock, chief photographer for The High Point Tom Enterprise, and I long have Blount agreed that Oregon annually ■■■ has the ugliest uniforms in college football. We also agree that both Boise State and Virginia Tech should be grateful that Joan Rivers and the E! Fashion Police crew weren’t anywhere near Landover, Md., Monday night. Red carpet, green grass – Rivers would have had a field day.

Now that we’ve segued into fashion, USA TODAY reports that “famed designer Diane von Furstenberg helped the Cleveland Clinic come up with a more stylish hospital gown without the peek-a-boo back. The gown, with the clinic’s logo printed on the fabric, features side ties. The lightweight fabric was chosen to address a concern by most patients, one the clinic found surprising: that they were too warm in the hospital.” As I told you Aug. 30, you can please some of the people some of the time ...

But I have digressed enough!

Back to college football. Even though I’m a University of Pittsburgh grad and Penn State for years was one of Pitt’s two arch-rivals, I’ve always liked Paterno and usually root for the Nittany Lions in football when they play anybody other than Pitt.

One day last week, during the hype leading up to Saturday’s Penn State at Alabama game, USA TODAY reported Paterno called this year’s team the youngest he’s coached, with 70 percent of the roster underclassmen. When a reporter asked how Paterno would “prepare a young team for what awaits in Tuscaloosa, Paterno cracked, ‘It’s a football game, not the Crusades.’ ” Great perspective.

Meanwhile, who do you think has the ugliest uniforms in college football? We’ve already begun to determine who the ugliest teams are.

Will Iraq Three debates won’t help us decide be friend R or foe?

I

n my last column, I wrote that most Americans don’t know why we invaded Iraq or Afghanistan. In the months prior to the invasion of Afghanistan, liberals took to the streets in protest. But opposition to the war in Afghanistan all but disappeared after the liberal Democrats decided that they could use “the good war” as a tool against President George W. Bush, so this column will focus on Iraq.

Let’s start at the beginning.

To quote Wikipedia: “The 1991 Gulf War never fully ended, as there was no armistice formally ending the war.” The ceasefire began on Feb. 28 when Iraq agreed to comply with 13 previous UN resolutions related to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. In early April, under UNSCR 687, Iraq agreed to destroy certain weapons and cooperate with weapons inspectors.

Iraq violated UNSCR 687 almost immediately. The UN issued UNSCR 707 in August, condemning Iraq for non-compliance of UNSCR 687. This was the beginning of a OPINION high-stakes cat and mouse game Mike that Saddam HusHughes sein, the butcher ■■■ of Baghdad, played for the rest of his life. Former President Bill Clinton allowed this game to go on during his entire administration.

Clinton allowed the 1993 Iraqi assassination attempt on his predecessor, George H.W. Bush, to go practically unanswered. In response, Clinton fired cruise missiles at an Iraqi intelligence complex during the middle of the night when few operatives would be there.

Clinton also tolerated Iraq targeting and firing upon coalition aircraft that were enforcing the no-fly zones.

Hussein’s regime should have been terminated long before George W. Bush ever came into office. It’s understandable that George H.W. Bush didn’t want to deal with nation building in Iraq back in 1991, but what he did was kick the can down the road – right into the hands of an incompetent liberal president.

War in Iraq was inevitable long before 2002 when a strong majority in Congress passed the Iraq War Resolution. The first words of this resolution refer back to 1990-1991. Liberals have since tried to use a single (although not insignificant) weakness as an excuse to discredit the entire resolution.

However, the war was well justified – even without massive WMD stockpiles. The war shouldn’t be judged without considering the whole story.

Liberals like to compare the Iraq War to Vietnam, but I say it should be compared to Korea.

Under liberal foreign policy, Iraq would become another festering nuclear-armed menace similar to today’s North Korea.

Thankfully, N. Korea is highly isolated, but a rogue Iraq would easily find numerous allies.

Another world war may be inevitable. Wouldn’t it be wise to have a free Iraq on our side if that happens?

The story of the Iraq War is far from over. Will President Obama work to ensure that Iraq becomes a peaceful and strong ally? Or will he leave a power vacuum that’s sure to be filled by our enemies?

The Middle East is a powder keg waiting to go off. It’s in America’s best interest to have a strong influence in that area of the world where we’re sure to be dragged into if – or when – that powder keg explodes.

ichard Burr and Elaine Marshall have announced they will participate in three televised debates between now and the Nov. 2 election. If recent debates are any indicator, few will watch the three events and those who do will not learn much. While we love the concept of candidates facing each other to discuss important issues and visualize these confrontations being as significant as the LincolnDouglas or Nixon-Kennedy debates, we know this rarely happens.

Nobody understands the complicated debate formats.

Candidate A gets two minutes to answer a question, then candidate B gets two minutes, whereupon candidate A gets one minute for rebuttal or some such structure. Candidates look awkward standing at podiums. The questions are mostly inane, more especially since producers have increasingly depended on e-mailed viewer questions. Most of the queries bounce from topic to

topic and are generally poorly written.

If the upcoming debates follow those we’ve most recently seen, the canMY SPIN didates will fill their allocated Tom time trying to Campbell position their ■■■ opponent while spouting carefully rehearsed platitudes of their candidacy that reveal little of substance. These debates have been taken over by consultants who worry more about their candidate not making big mistakes.

With few significant campaign rallies, meaningful TV ads or direct mail that speak to the issues, we have little or no opportunity to really learn candidates’ positions on the pressing election issues.

There are issues worthy of discussion in this Senate race.

We would love to hear specific proposals to stimulate the economy, discussion on the

war in Afghanistan, immigration, the national debt and the current budget. If meaningful, such a debate could help us decide for whom we will vote.

Later debates could similarly feature topics on foreign policy, agriculture, health care, education, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Times have changed. The old television debate format has outlived its value. It is time to redesign a way for meaningful political discussion with candidates. Get rid of the podiums. Throw out the convoluted formats. Ditch the viewer mail questions. In their place let us propose a new format, an honest, unrehearsed discussion between the candidates, much as you or I might have around the dining room table.

Without sharing specific questions, candidates could be briefed on the four or five topic areas. Great care should then be devoted to writing questions which favor neither candidate but are direct enough so as to force the

respondent to provide specific answers or be obvious in not doing so. The moderator for these events must be well versed, directing like a traffic cop to ensure no one candidate dominates, demeans or pontificates instead of answering questions.

For the record both Burr and Marshall have been invited to participate in such a forum by the statewide TV show NC SPIN, but neither has responded.

It is important for voters to know where candidates stand on vital issues. We need to devise a better way than the current televised debate to get that information to those who are truly interested. An ill-informed electorate will not make informed decisions at the ballot box.

Got a problem?

Just keep on spending more of that money you don’t have

H

aving plunged the nation into a deep financial crisis with his wild and unrestrained spending of money we do not have – on things the nation does not need – President Obama is now proposing to spend even more, claiming that this time it will work.

On Monday, he called on his pet Democratic-controlled Congress to turn on the money spigot once more, insisting that this time it will stimulate an economy in the doldrums and create jobs in a time of rising unemployment.

According to The New York Times, he asked Congress to appropriate vast sums of borrowed money to upgrade the nation’s roads, railroads and airport runways as part of a multiOPINION billion dollar, six-year scheme – part of a plan that Michael would cost tens of billions Reagan of dollars and create a ■■■ government-run bank to finance allegedly innovative transportation projects.

It appears that the president, despite all the evidence to the contrary, is convinced that the best way of solving our economic woes is to pass the cost onto future generations yet unborn, and by supporting abortion of unborn humans he sharply limits the number of new humans to be burdened with paying for all of his wanton spending.

To make matters worse, he wants to heavily tax the very taxpayers who create jobs by investing the money he wants to confiscate through taxes. If that

doesn’t make any sense to you, you are one of the growing number of Americans who are beginning to believe that the president is seeking to impose a socialist system upon this nation.

Think about it. The best way to destroy an economic system is to destroy the economy. That will enable you to replace the destroyed system with one that you favor. And if everything you do vis-àvis the economy seems right out of Karl Marx’s playbook, then the system you want to impose is a Marxist one.

Among his many approaches to solving our economic problems was the creation of a deficit commission that will study our economic problems and, after 10 months of diagnosing the problem, come up with a solution.

Does Obama really believe that we need a panel of wise men to tell us what anybody with an ounce of sense understands: that when you keep spending money you don’t have, thereby incurring unmentionably huge amounts of debt on which the annual interest alone

equals the entire gross national product, you are not solving a problem, you are creating an even more serious one.

Just what steps is this commission expected to recommend?

Well how about the solution all big government advocates are bound to recommend: raise taxes. As the Times asked, why should the taxpayers pay for the mistakes the government keeps making?

That’s a dandy idea. Confiscate a large part of the income of the so-called rich – you know, the folks who keep businesses going by investing in them, thereby limiting their ability to put money into the economy and making it possible for the firms in which they invest to grow and create new jobs.

Don’t expect this Congress to do anything that will really help the economy; for example, extending the Bush tax cuts.

After all, that initially limits the amount of money the government can confiscate from the people whose investments keep the economy growing.

Uncle Sam needs that money to pay for all those government programs that ladle out money to the people. That’s never called what it is: buying people’s votes by giving them money taken from their fellow Americans.

But worry not. Barack Obama’s new commission will figure out a way to square the circle by recommending steps the pols would never dare take. And won’t.

Prepare for future by voting conservative

I

n a recent article, the noted writer David Gergan asks the question, “When the next disaster hits ... will we be prepared?”

Are we ever ready for the next catastrophe? The Boy Scout motto is famous, certainly from my boyhood days following 1937, “Be Prepared!”

come from distractions and poor attitudes toward known precautions, et al.

Why are we so prone and so often allow heartbreak to happen? Is our up-bringing or schooling neglectful? Too busy to see to all the details?

Our health is a primary neglect, so we practice depending upon a doctor, medicine and available hospital beds, instead of preventive, balanced organic food supply to avoid later buying prescription killer drugs. We too often fail to plan and focus on essentials, are too often lazy and procrastinate, believe in lazy ideas like, “Let someone else do it,” hope law of averages and statistics will protect us, repeat false ideas like, “It can’t happen to me,” and “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” and “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”

We knew from his “Mein Kampf” what Hitler was doing

by taking apart Europe one nation at a time. We knew before the Japanese hit Pearl Harbor. We knew before 9/11 happened something big was building. We know what Iran is planning, because they keep telling us they intend to wipe Israel off the map.

They keep telling us they are going to destroy America, too. Islam’s Quran states they intend to dominate the world and destroy anyone who tries to block them. Deceit and lies about peace always give hope to the foolish who acquiesce until too late. Taking guns from citizens, America’s final constitutional protection, is soon to be tested as our Muslim president who refuses to show his birth certificate as all other citizens must, sets up communist-style czars to do his bidding in a bypass move around Congress, high-jacks trillions of dollars to buy control and is printing up a record currency that is an undeclared tax on all through massive inflation that is coming. “If it roars like a lion,

growls like a bear or barks like a dog,” the wise treat it as one.

We know what is coming, if we fail to act. But is there a majority willing to stop griping and turn out to vote at the next election to re-build a reliable conservative Congress to stop this socialistic madness and descent into national and world chaos? The world still depends upon America to lead by example, even though China is fast emerging to take away the Russian adversary role, regardless of who most aids and abets Iran’s nuclear ambition to lead the Muslim annihilation of freedom. So, what about you? Will you help wake everyone “up” and do all you can as a patriotic citizen responsible for maintaining freedom by voting for a conservation ticket? Huh? We are being forewarned, register now and vote in this next election, or we’ll enter a new “Dark Ages!”

Teacher Jennifer Forbes looks over her classroom as she prepares for the school year recently at New Century International Elementary School near Fayetteville.

Youngsters return to globe-trotting classrooms FAYETTEVILLE (AP) – At Cumberland County’s newest elementary school, the classroom rugs are adorned with world maps.

A first-grade teacher from New Zealand decorated her room with koala and kangaroo pictures.

Another teacher uses tai chi to blend math lessons with Asian culture.

And all 650 children at the west Fayetteville school will learn Mandarin Chinese.

New Century International Elementary is the latest example of Cumberland County’s push toward a more global education. Whereas their parents may have taken a couple of years of Spanish in high school, some children in Cumberland County today are fully immersed in foreign language by kindergarten.

The innovations put

the school system at the forefront of such efforts nationwide, said Superintendent Frank Till Jr., who has made international education one of his top priorities.

The idea is to prepare children for the types of jobs they’ll get as adults.

It’s particularly crucial in the hometown of Fort Bragg, whose soldiers are at the forefront of international affairs, Till said.

“Our kids, our children, when they graduate from here have to know there’s a bigger world out there than Cumberland County or the United States,” Till said. “And that they’re going to have to interact with kids from all over the world or compete with kids from all over the world.”

As a new school year began recently, children

Historian impressed by whirligig project MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WILSON – Historian Dennis Montagna likened Wilson’s whirligigs to art that has become the center of Grand Rapids, Mich.

In the city, a steel 43-foot high La Grande Vitesse sculpture has become the center of the downtown area and has become a popular landmark and civic symbol. The sculpture was created by Alexander Caulder.

“I really think this Vollis Simpson project can be like Grand Rapids,” Montagna said. “This artwork has been a part of this city for 40 years.”

Montagna visited Wilson last week and will be in town, talking with those involved in creating the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park. The National Park Service sent Montagna to Wilson in an effort to help city leaders with preservation and conservation ideas as well as any possible funding sources.

He spoke in the Hardy Alumni Hall and shared projects the National Park Service has been involved with through the years, including collaboration with the Gettysburg National Military Park that includes 400 monuments.

Montagna, a historian with the National Park Service’s Monument Research and Preservation Program in Philadelphia, talked about how National Park Service

employees collaborate on projects across the nation by assessing and developing plans for the preservation and conservation of monumental structures, sculptures, cemetery headstones and other historic structures.

The preservation of Simpson’s whirligigs is one of the plans in connection with the park, which will be in downtown Wilson along Goldsboro Street, near the corner of South Street.

Montagna spent part of last week meeting Simpson and visited his Lucama farm in the evening to see the whirligigs at night. He’ll continue with his visit, which includes meeting with leaders and committee members developing plans for the park. He’s also reviewing park plans and could be a collaborator in the effort, said Kimberly Van Dyk, Wilson downtown manager.

During his visit, he said he was impressed with Simpson as an artist, saw potential in the whirligig park and had ideas to offer in helping to preserve the artwork for years to come.

He first saw one of Simpson’s whirligigs at the American Visionary Art Museum where a 5-foot-tall, multicolored wind-sculpture is located on the museum grounds.

“I was very impressed with this project but after being here, I am enthralled by it,” he said.

across the county are already learning lessons with a worldwide perspective. Some examples: Three elementary schools immerse their students in Spanish. It’s the only language allowed in their math, science and some other classes. In place since 2007, the goal is to have the children fluent by fifth grade.

At Cross Creek Early College High School, which has operated on Fayetteville State University’s campus since 2005, students graduate with college credits.

Some already have a year of college courses behind them before they get their diploma.

Next year, another early college high school may open. This one will focus on foreign languages and diplomacy – skills important to the Army Special Forces units based at Fort Bragg.

Know the rules Pitfalls remain with gift cards, despite new law NEW YORK (AP) — New federal rules for gift cards mean you have longer to use them and don’t face as many costs up front. But many problems remain.

For starters, the rules that went into effect last month don’t cover all gift cards. And the Americans who spend tens of billions of dollars each year on gift cards — $23.6 billion last November and December alone — still have to pay fees for not using them, and those fees aren’t capped.

Here’s what you need to know: • Deadlines: The rules put more time on your side. You now have at least five years to spend your balance on most cards, while many used to be good for only one year.

But a key improvement — retailers must

now wait a year before charging an inactivity fee — could lead stores to charge higher fees later to make up the difference, says Laura Lane, vice president for unclaimed property services at The Keane Organization Inc., which advises companies on risk management.

“It could be good for consumers in that they have a year before fees are charged,” she says. “However once that year is up, who knows how good for consumers that will be.”

• Loss: More time means more chances to lose gift cards in wallets, household junk drawers and wherever gift cards go.

The National Retail Federation recommends spending gift cards as soon as you can and registering them whenever that’s possible. Some re-

tailers, including Starbucks, let you keep your balance if you lose a registered card.

Also, if you’re giving a card, include the gift receipt in case of problems, says J. Craig Shearman, the trade group’s vice president for government affairs.

• Fees: There’s no limit on the monthly fee issuers can charge after the first year, and Lane says it’s likely they’ll charge as much as shoppers tolerate — perhaps $5 a month. Retailers also are still allowed to charge a fee when you buy a card and a fee to replace it if it’s lost or stolen.

• Loopholes: Not all gift cards are treated equally, so learn the differences.

The new rules don’t cover reloadable prepaid cards that carry logos for MasterCard, Visa, American Express and other lenders. Those cards are used like debit cards, are often bought at banks and can be used anywhere the credit cards are accepted.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

----

The new rules don’t cover reloadable prepaid cards that carry logos for MasterCard, Visa, American Express and other lenders.

Also not covered: government-issued cards for food stamps, for example, and rebates or refunds disguised as gift cards.

Reward cards — such as a $5 gift card you may receive for buying a certain amount of merchandise or a $50 rebate back for signing a cell phone contract — can still expire much sooner than the 5-year minimum on other cards.

Lane says more companies are giving rebates through these electronic cards because they make

it easier for companies to track how much is yet to be redeemed. So watch out for them.

• Fine print: While card issuers soon must print expiration dates, inactivity fees and other restrictions on their cards, that rule doesn’t take effect until Jan. 31, Shearman says. (The retail group asked for the delay, saying it would have been difficult to ensure cards without the fine print were removed from circulation.)

Thai chef puts signature on bistro

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Dan Doby, former owner of Dan Thai Jazz Bistro in High Point, knows the real recipe for success in the restaurant business is to have a skilled chef in the kitchen.

That’s why he almost wishes he wouldn’t have sold the restaurant to Chanh Tong, the new owner and chef at the restaurant, which he has renamed Thai Herb Authentic Thai Cuisine.

“If I had known what a great chef he is, I probably wouldn’t have sold the business to him,” Doby said with a laugh.

“I would have tried to be his partner.”

Doby is concentrating his efforts on opening a Low Country cuisine restaurant in Burlington. Tong, who has more than 15 years of culinary experience, is taking over the restaurant at 1116 Eastchester Drive in the Center Stage shopping center.

He also owns a Thai restaurant in Albemarle.

“I just like to cook,” said Tong, who was born in Laos but studied the culinary arts in France.

Doby opened the bistro about a year ago because he said there were no restaurants like the eatery – which combined Thai food, jazz music and select wines – in the area. Tong said he wants to keep the restaurant’s eclectic

Chanh Tong is the new owner of Thai Herb Authentic Thai Cuisine, formerly the Dan Thai Jazz Bistro, off Eastchester Drive. atmosphere while making the food as close to dishes he ate in his homeland.

“It is authentic,” he said about the new menu.

“We have more Asian people coming in to eat it now because of that.”

Tong moved to France for school in 1976 and then to the United States in the 1980s. He partnered with his sister to run a restaurant in Connecticut in 2005 and moved to Albemarle about two years ago to open his first Thai restaurant.

Thai food touches every taste bud, according to Tong, from sweet and sour dishes to spicy and downright hot. Customers can request varying degrees of spicy and hot in each meal.

Some of his signature

dishes at the restaurant include larb, a minced chicken or beef dish with rice powder, chili powder, onion and fresh herbs; and plar goong, a spicy shrimp salad with red onion, celery, tomato, ginger and house dressing. Thai sweet tea is a signature sweet and creamy drink at the restaurant.

Menu items range from $5.95 to $15.95.

Thai and Vietnamese music eventually will be played live at the restaurant, Tong said. Karaoke also will be offered.

He said he wants the mixture of flavors, a relaxed atmosphere, and music to draw a mixture of people from High Point.

“They like to try something new here,”

THE APPS TEST

----

NEW YORK (AP) — Apple Inc. gave software developers on Thursday the guidelines it uses to determine which programs can be sold in its App Store, yet it reserved for itself broad leeway in deciding what makes the cut.

The move follows more than two years of complaints from developers about the company’s secret and seemingly capricious rules, which block some programs from the store and hence Apple’s popular iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices.

The guidelines go some way toward addressing those complaints and broadening the discussion about Apple’s custodianship of the App Store, but they leave much for the developers to figure out.

“We will reject Apps for any content or behavior that we believe is over the line. What line, you ask? Well, as a Supreme Court Justice once said, ‘I’ll know it when I see it’. And we think that you will also know it when you cross it,” the guidelines say.

In the guidelines, Apple draws a line between broader expressions of freedom of speech and the App Store.

“We view Apps different than books or songs, which we do not curate. If you want to criticize a religion, write a book. If you want to describe sex, write a book or a song, or create a medical app,” the guidelines say.

Apple also says it will block applications that don’t do “something useful or provide some lasting entertainment.”

“We don’t need any more Fart apps,” Apple said, referring to prank programs that let off noise.

HPU and the ‘wow’ factor; understanding the Dodd-Frank law Q: Hello Dr J: I am very interested in High Point University events. My Son and my family want to know about the academic activities at the University. It is good to read something positive about High Point. Can you help on High Point University?

— Duncan (High Point Dad) A: Hello Duncan: As an academic person, I am also interested in the academic offerings as well.

There is one word that describes High Point University WOW! EvASK eryone DR. J knows, or has read Eye on small about, the business 14 new ■■■ buildings, the expansion of the campus from 92 acres in 2004 to now encompassing 210 acres in 2010, and the explosion of student enrollment to 3,000. But equally, and perhaps more importantly, are the total academic experiences at the university because the students are the heart of the “total academic experience.”

That “total academic experience” is one of the watch phrases at the university. This means to give the students a “total academic experience” not just a “sandwich” approach, like most university environments. That socalled “total academic experience” is a key factor to HPU success. I know since I have been in academics for over 25 years.

Vice President Chris Dudley, one of the dynamic and energetic vice presidents who was a student at the college in 1999, along with Provost Dennis G. Carroll, have acknowledged the tracking of academic growth, international curriculum and new academic programming development, all of which have not been totally articulated.

Starting Jan. 4, 2005, the marvelous and future-thinking new President Nido R. Qubein set the tone. It is rumored that when he walked on the campus for the first time, he said to the grounds crew, “The trees are blocking Wrenn Hall.”

The grounds crew replied, “The faculty would not like those trees cut down.” His response, “Do it at night.”

The university transformation had begun.

President Qubein raised $300 million in a short time, of which more than one-half went to the academic “total educational experience” WOW. In today’s world, some parents may not want to consider the international dynamics as important subject matter. But, with today’s students, their lives and international culture will have a major impact within the world perspective.

High Point University can proudly point to

the fact that freshmen and upper-level students can readily have an opportunity to taste international culture.

The current figure is that 40 percent of the current student body take part in the international experience, or about 1,200 kids. The university has developed programs in 19 different countries where faculty or university staff travel and help the students learn as well as “experience” the various cultures.

A brief list including some of the more exotic places: Australia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Fiji, Russia, South Africa, Jordon, Morocco, Egypt, and alot more.

The University focus on the “total academic experience” also includes a central campus walk where flags of the world proudly hang.

This is a visual way to engage the students to think more globally, not just the usual Spain, France, England and Germany. And, the university also has thought through making sure students will be safe overseas.

They have an international insurance policy that protects the students who might get in “harm’s way”. And, that is a WOW as well.

In the business arena, the Earl N. Phillips School, including the Plato S. Wilson Family School of Commerce, has a powerful mission statement that clearly states, ”To be a dynamic center for learning and professional engagement across the global environment.”

The development and energized programs in entrepreneurial curriculum, major in sports management, sales, marketing, economics, global commerce, accounting and finance all encourage the students to sharpen their competitive edge.

That phrase “competitive edge” also is a hallmark idea at the university. But, it doesn’t stop there. In the fall of 2010, the School of Art and Design is offering majors in art, graphic design, home furnishings and interior design. In the fall of 2011, a complex of interdisciplinary studies including majors in African Studies, Peace and Conflict, Environmental, and Women’s and Gender studies will be offered. WOW. The Qubein School of Communications offers majors in Electronic Media, Journalism, Games and Interactive Media Design and in 2011, a major in strategic communications.

WOW. The College of Education in 2012 will offer a new fifth-year program in elementary education; with a focused future on ED.D for current or future School Superintendents in Educational Leadership. WOW. And academic courses in 2010 are all four credits with a revised central core curriculum for all students plus student mentorship programming.

Thanks for asking, — Dr. J Q: I understand that

there is a movement in the Congress and financial regulations to reduce the size of the banks or financial companies or has this already been enacted?

Is that true?

— John A: Hello John: In the era of restoring regulations in the financial markets there is a strong movement to resurrect the GlassSteagall Act. That regulation enacted during the Depression prohibited the commercial banks from owning investment banking firms, stock brokerage houses, insurance companies or any riskorientated institutions.

That Glass-Steagall Act was repealed in 1999, which opened the doors to derivatives, crossstate banking, high-risk instruments, etc., that has been one of the major causes of today’s financial crisis, according to the U.S. Budget Office.

The chief champions of restoring such an act are two powerful advocates — Dr. Robert Reich, currently an economist at the University of CaliforniaBerkeley and former secretary of labor, and Rep. Paul Kanjorski from Pennsylvania, the new chairman of the Financial Services Oversight Council. That new agency is to rein in and dismantle financial firms that are so large, inter-connected, or include risk that would collapse the entire American economic system. The measure to break up the high-risk banking inter-connections passed the House of Financial Services Committee on Nov. 18, 2009, as an amendment to the Financial Stability Improvement Act. According to the Congressional Bulletin, “Despite big investment from the financial lobby, they lost their bid in the House to derail a new Consumer Protection Agency.”

The Consumer Protection Agency legislation is the centerpiece of the bill that passed the House on Dec 11, 2009, by a vote of 223- 202.

This cccomplishment was hailed by the Administration as a “new era in financial institutions,” according to the Congressional Reporter.

The negotiated legislation was led by committee chairman Barney Frank in the House of Representatives and in the Senate

by Christopher Dodd.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Title III and VI, was signed by the President on July 21, becoming Public Law 111-203. The financial institutions now are required by law to be more prudent and restrictive in the financial services offered to the public.

Thanks for the inquiry, — Dr. J

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD — Democrat Gladys A. Robinson is seeking the 28th District seat in the N.C. Senate.

With 39 years experience in the health and human services field, she is a graduate of Bennett College and earned a doctorate Robinson in leadership studies from N.C. A&T University. She serves as executive director of the High Point and Greensboro offices of the Piedmont Health Services and Sickle Cell Agency. She has served 10 years on the University of North Carolina Board of Governors, chairing the personnel and tenure committees, and also serves on the N.C. Minority Health Advisory Council and N.C.

Elsewhere...

A: Economic development has to be an ongoing effort of the legislative body. Aggressive steps needed to jump-start job creation include reducing unemployment, growing the economy by investing in small businesses and attracting industries that produce jobs. A major emphasis would be the promotion of tourism, particularly in the High Point area, since thousands of jobs and millions in payroll are directly attributable to travel and tourism. We must address the rapidly rising health insurance costs and access to capital for small businesses.

Guilford County must be nurtured by the state to have incentive policies available to assist new and expanding businesses. The end result will be jobs, increased employment and a strengthened economy.

Q: Government agencies traditionally were able to offset lower salaries to workers who could make more in the private sector through job security and stability. What should the state do to help retain quality employees at a time of budgetary cutbacks and layoffs?

A: Recruitment and retention benefits go hand in hand. The same benefits and incentives that are used to attract employees can be used to preserve them. The state can employ strategies like employee refer-

ral bonuses and one-time award bonuses. Other retention incentives can include: establishing a sound work-life balance; offering educational opportunities; offering incentives for health care plans, such as exercisewalking programs and reductions in cost based on improved health indicators; option to work condensed work weeks with longer hours on the days worked with more time off; and flexible work location — a growing phenomenon in workplace flexibility is that of teleworking, sometimes referred to as Telecommuting.

Q: If elected, what would be your top legislative priorities?

A: There are three primary platform issues that I will work towards: jobs and economic development, education and health care. We must work to reduce unemployment and develop and bring in jobs for our citizens by investing in small businesses and attracting industries that produce jobs. We must involve our universities and community colleges more aggressively in job development and economic transformation. This underscores the importance of education, beginning pre-K through higher education and how we must reduce the dropout rate and do a better job of educating our children.

Health care is critical.

Even as we have health care reform, there are many people without access to preventive health services and care.

Golden focuses on job creation, urban development ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT — Jeffrey Golden is running for the Ward 1 seat on the High Point City Council.

He and his wife, Ondrea, have three children. He currently is employed with Britthaven of Davidson and serves as the chairman of the deacon/trustee boards at St. Matthew’s Fellowship Ministries. He is the co-founder of two nonprofits, including A.S.K.

He spent more than 15 years serving in the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserves.

He has just received an appointment to the High

Point Citizens Advisory Committee.

Q: What role can and should the city play in economic development and job creation, and where do you see incentives fitting into that effort?

A: I think the city should provide incentives to upstart and established businesses as well as developed assistance programs for struggling businesses to assure job creation and preserve the current work force.

The city should also look to increase their manufacturing capabilities.

Q: Should the city view the campaign toward regionalism as an overall benefit to High Point or something that could threaten the city by shortchanging High Point?

A: I think the regionalism campaign is a real threat to the city. It could lead to decreases in our authority and potentially take away our voice.

We could lose control over how we govern our

Q: What would be your priorities if elected?

A: If elected my priorities would be economic and urban development. I will assist city officials’ with bringing 21st century jobs to the city. I will assist city officials with breaking down barriers for small business development.

I will help develop our current communities by strengthening the businesses that already exist.

Getting along in a cross-lingual workplace

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

This time you’re the odd man/woman out. You’re in a workplace where everyone else is speaking a language you don’t or barely do. Don’t feel too guilty. “Americans are famous around the world for their linguistic limitations,” according to Duncan McCampbell, president of McCampbell Global LLC., a marketing firm in Minneapolis.

“There’s hardly a developed country in the world where the majority of the people are not at least haltingly competent in more than one language.”

In a workplace with no English-only policy, how can you tactfully get along when you don’t know what people around you are saying?

RESPECT Take a look at what savvy employees have done. For example, Jorge Ungo, southwest region manager at Pacific Interpreters Inc., in Houston, spent seven years in a translation company with Russians, Hispanics and Vietnamese. He directed an interpreting program that sent contract workers to health care and energy, among other

industries. Ungo joined the company, which had been dominated by Russians, when it began to diversify. Because many business-related internal discussions involved Russian, he’d miss what people were saying. As Spanish speakers came on board, he communicated and understood easily, until technical terminology came up. An HR policy wasn’t the solution.

The problem could even arise in the middle of a substantive conversation he was having, when a third party walked in. “When I found I was speaking with a Portuguese speaker and a Portuguese interpreter came in,” he recalls, “they’d both speak Portuguese, and I’d be completely left out. I’d ask, ‘Would you mind speaking in English, because I don’t understand what you’re saying.’ I never had pushback or had my request ignored.”

Within a few weeks, others began to do the same.

“If everyone in the room spoke Russian,” he says, “(they knew) it was fine to speak Russian, but if a Vietnamese walked in, people changed to English.”

ground as an attorney. “I hadn’t spent a great deal of time in these places,” he says. “I knew the countries but not the language.

I didn’t have time to learn the language for business.” The pace wasn’t leisurely, and deadlines were quite fixed.

How did he get the work done? “Put effort in communication,” he advises.

“Make sure you’re understood and that you understand others. That’s the holy grail. Circle back around in a less-threatening, less-confrontational manner.” Find a way to

communicate that isn’t face-to-face.

He recommends assuming the burden yourself, saying something in an email that reflects your sincere desire to understand the other person, such as “Hello, Jose. We just talked about XYZ. I really want to make sure I understand you, Jose, and I want to make certain that I’ve communicated clearly to you. This is what I understood. (Explain.) Is this consistent with your understanding?

“You’re honoring the person,” he continues. “It is more work, and you have to go into it prepared.”

This tactic gains respect of the people around you, because they see the effort you’re making. McCampbell also points out that reaching out benefits your career. When you falter in the other language, know that others will credit the effort.

When linguistically challenged, you may encounter problems where you don’t understand others and they don’t understand you. Develop diplomatic, respectful ways to bridge the gap.

GO FOR THE GOLD: Durant sparks U.S. past Lithuania in world semis. 7D

Price is right for Wake

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – As the game wore on, freshman quarterback Tanner Price became more comfortable running Wake Forest’s offense in relief of injured starter Ted Stachitas.

Good thing. Wake needed all the offense it could muster in outlasting Duke 54-48 in the AtPrice lantic Coast Conference opener for both teams Saturday that produced the highest-scoring game ever at BB&T Field and the second-highest scoring affair in league history.

The fireworks included a combined 987 yards of total offense, a 35-35 tie at the half and Wake unable to breathe easy until Marshall Williams recovered a Duke onside kick with 1:39 to go.

The wildness included scoring plays for Wake that included passes of 38 and 23 yards by Price and an 81 yarder thrown by receiver Marshall Williams to Chris Givens; and Duke scoring passes of 70 and 51 yards by Scott Renfree and Desmond Scott’s 63yard run.

Price was anything but wild after being thrust into the role of Wake’s main quarterback with 11 minutes left in the second quarter after Stachitas suffered a severe contusion on the back of his nonthrowing hand.

He helped the Deacons score on six possessions, running for one touchdown and throwing for three. He directed an 80-yard drive for the final score as he ran the Deacons’ option attack with precision.

“I got more accustomed to the speed of the game as it went on,” Price said. “I had a lot of help around me.”

That put Wake up 54-41 with 2:53 to go, but Duke responded with a 51-yard scoring pass from

Ted Stachitas (13) of Wake Forest runs 23 yards for a touchdown during first-quarter action against Duke University at BB&T Field in Winston-Salem on Saturday.

Renfree to Conner Vernon to keep the outcome in doubt.

“I thought just watching him you would never be able to tell by his demeanor today and the way he executed and ran the offense that he was a true freshman,” Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe said. “He looked more like a veteran quarterback out there today.”

Stachitas returned for two series late in the first half, but the injury kept him from seeing any more action.

East Carolina quarterback Dominique Davis points to the sky as he celebrates a Pirate touchdown during the second half against Memphis on Saturday in Greenville.

“He didn’t feel that he could pitch it with one hand so we had to stick with Tanner,” Grobe said.

Duke burned the Deacons for 326 total yards in the first half and erased a 35-21 deficit in the last five minutes of the second quarter. But, the Deacons stiffened, holding the Blue Devils to just two field goals over the first 27 minutes of the second half.

“At the half, we challenged our guys to play the coverage called,” Grobe said. “I think we had too

much ad-lib stuff going on. ... In the second half, they started trying to do their jobs instead of doing their own things.”

Renfree threw for 358 yards and four touchdowns. But, the Blue Devils were burned by turnovers.

A bad snap on a punt was picked up and returned 18 yards by Givens; and Renfree threw three interceptions – two of them by Alex Frye that set up touchdowns in the first half. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

GREENVILLE (AP) – Dominique Davis threw three touchdown passes and ran for two scores to help East Carolina beat Memphis 49-27 on Saturday.

Derek Blacknall returned an interception 46 yards for a touchdown in a dominating first quarter for the Pirates (2-0, 2-0 Conference USA), who are off to a fast start under new coach Ruffin McNeill. East Carolina has won its first two games for only the second time this decade and travels to No. 13 Virginia Tech next weekend.

Jon Williams ran for 109 yards and scored for the Pirates, who scored 51 points in their opener and have already as many 40-point games this season as they did during last year’s run to a second straight league title.

The Tigers (0-2, 0-1) never came close to making this a game, committing three turnovers that led to touchdowns as they fell behind 28-3 in the opening period.

Memphis had a terrible start to Larry Por-

ter’s coaching tenure last week, giving up 569 total yards and committing eight penalties in the 49-7 loss at Mississippi State. The best thing they could claim from this game is they didn’t let the final margin look a whole lot worse.

As for McNeill, the former East Carolina defensive back didn’t have much to complain about early. The only problem was the way the Pirates slowed down after building that big lead.

Davis turned in another solid performance while directing the no-huddle spread offense McNeill and offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley brought with them from Texas Tech.

After throwing for 383 yards and the last-play touchdown to beat Tulsa, Davis connected with Giavanni Ruffin and Dwayne Harris for first-quarter scores and completed 13 of his first 14 passes.

ECU recovered a fumble on a botched handoff to set up Williams’ 2-yard run for the 28-3 lead.

that led to three Wake Forest touchdowns.

Chris Givens picked up a fumbled snap on a punt for one Deacon score and Alex Frye set up two more with interceptions.

For all the firepower that Duke mustered in forcing a 35-35 tie, the Blue Devils had trouble getting anything going in the third quarter for the second week in a row. For all of the offense, the Devils’ defense couldn’t stop Wake, allowing the Deacons to gain 500 yards.

“It’s my job to see that we don’t make as many mistakes,” Cutcliffe said. “Most of the run yards (229) was us not tackling very well.

When we tackled well, we shut them down.”

They will need better tackling next week when top-ranked Alabama comes to Wallace Wade Stadium.

“There are a lot of things to build on,” Cutcliffe said. “I always choose to be more encouraged than discouraged. There are so many encouraging things, I want to players to understand that.”

Cutcliffe might see encouraging things.

But, after Wake Forest picked apart his defense, it is hard not to envision another long year in Durham until basketball season starts.

TOP SCORES

aturday’s meeting between Duke and Wake Forest kept up a recent theme for the series.

Fueled by the program’s improvement under coach David Cutcliffe, the Blue Devils had great expectations of breaking a lengthy losing streak to the Demon Deacons.

Points were aplenty, a total of 102 in a wild affair that outdid the 89 last year, the 63 in 2008 and the 78 in 2007.

The biggest theme of all continued when the Devils went down to their 11th straight loss despite rolling up 487 yards of offense.

For the all the firepower they mustered, the Devils committed three critical errors

Moore sets pace in BMW THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LEMONT, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ryan Moore figured the BMW Championship would be his last tournament for a while. He shot a 5-under 66 on Saturday, which could put his vacation on hold.

Moore eliminated the mistakes that held him back the previous day, making only one bogey to reach 8-under 205 and take a one-shot lead over Dustin Johnson (68), Matt Kuchar (70) and Charlie Wi (70).

Moore was No. 58 in the FedEx Cup standings, and needed one of his best weeks just to crack the top 30 and advance to the Tour Championship in two weeks at East Lake. A victory not only would send him to the FedEx Cup finale, but give him a clear shot at the $10 million bonus.

Tiger Woods finally broke par with a 3-under 68, but he needed much more. Woods was tied for 22nd at even-par 213, some seven shots behind where he needs to finish to advance to the FedEx Cup finale.

Otherwise, it will be his last PGA Tour round of the year in America.

About his only drama today will be playing alongside Phil Mickelson, who shot a 70 to also finish at even par.

WIE TAKES LEAD IN ARKANSAS ROGERS, Ark. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Michelle Wie shot a 7-under 64 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; playing her first nine holes in 7-under 28 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to take the second-round lead in the Northwest Arkansas Championship.

Wie finished at 10 under Saturday, three strokes ahead of Juli Inkster (66), Yani Tseng (68) and Na Yeon Choi (68).

FUNK LEADS IN INCHEON INCHEON, South Korea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fred Funk shot a 5-under 67 to take the lead in the rain-soaked Songdo Championship, the Champions Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first event in Asia. Funk made a 12-foot birdie on the par-5 18th to reach 8 under. Tom Pernice Jr. (64), Russ Cochran (65) and John Cook (68) were two strokes back.

KAYMER TOPS KLM OPEN HILVERSUM, Netherlands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; PGA Championship winner Martin Kaymer shot a 4-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead in the KLM Open.

Utah Valley tops HPU in four SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TEMPE, Ariz. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After going down two games, HPU battled back to win the third set but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complete the comeback, falling 24-26, 20-25, 25-17, 21-25 to Utah Valley in the final game of the ASU Sheraton Invitational.

Senior Megan Smith led the Panthers with 21 kills and freshman Maddie Simpson (Simi Valley, Calif./Royal) had 50 assists, four kills and six digs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Utah Valley was more consistent than we were today,â&#x20AC;? said HPU head coach Jason Oliver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they needed it they were able to get

the big kills and organize the big plays. I was proud of our effort today, we had more digs, more kills, more assists than they did but they were just able to get the final points.â&#x20AC;?

HPU senior libero Julie Hershkowitz had 19 digs in the match and now needs just eight to pass Coastal Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeanne Lambert for third all-time in the Big South.

The Panthers return to the Millis Center Tuesday for a 7 p.m. match against Campbell.

Last season, HPU beat the Camels 3-2 with 14 kills from Courtney Johnk.

Sports script Monday

ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Alex Gonzalez hit a threerun homer in the 12th inning and the Braves moved into a tie for the NL East lead with a 6-3 victory over St. Louis.

HIGH POINT – After the extra-point attempt, Rodderick Campbell quickly jogged the 81 yards he’d covered only moments earlier on his way to the end zone.

Only then did it become obvious to the overflow crowd at Southwest Guilford’s stadium that the Red Raiders’ back-breaking touchdown came from a running back who had one cleat on and one resting on the turf near the spot of a missed tackle.

“It felt very funny. It was a long run with one shoe on,” Campbell said.

It produced plenty of smiles on the T. Wingate Andrews sideline and left Southwest in a foul mood. For the 13th straight year, the Cowboys suffered a loss to their neighboring rivals. And for the fourth straight year, another bizarre play set the stage for a narrow Andrews win.

In this case, the 15-3 final was far closer than it appeared. The Raiders (2-2) used a long Xavier Quick run to set up a first-half touchdown and led 9-0 at the break after Kenova Childress’ field goal in the final seconds.

Thanks to Southwest’s strong defensive showing, Andrews couldn’t pull away in the final two quarters. The Cowboys forced eight punts in all and got an interception from Raymond Bridges to open the fourth quarter.

Southwest’s offense, however, failed to move the ball after its first series. The Cowboys’ rushing attack managed just 84 yards in the first half and 71 in the second. Quarterback Airyn Willis couldn’t break free for big gains in the option attack and completed only one of 10 passes.

“I play pass first, then go up on the run,” said Raiders defensive back Jamarii Milliken, who pulled down two interceptions.

Added Andrews coach Rodney McKoy: “We had to step up and show people we can stop the run. Our kids, we made some adjustments, and I don’t think we did too bad.”

For his part, Southwest coach Scott Schwarzer simply wished his Cowboys would have made that defense work a little harder.

“Andrews is a good football team,” he said.

“We can’t make mistakes against a team with athletes, and that’s what we did.”

The last Southwest mistake finally provided Andrews some breathing room on Campbell’s big run with 4:19 remaining.

“After breaking the first two tackles, I just saw open ground,” said the sophomore, who didn’t get any carries in the first half. “He grabbed my shoe and I thought I was going to go down at first. I don’t know. I just stayed up and tried my best to get to the end zone.”

He did. Then, he turned right around and found his shoe.

Andrews will attempt to run its record to 3-2 next week as the visitor against High Point Central at Simeon Stadium, while Southwest (3-1) looks to rebound in two weeks at Deaton-Thompson Stadium against R.J. Reynolds. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Trinity tries to get better after slow start

BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TRINITY – When Trinity’s student population was cut in half last year and Wheatmore opened, the Bulldogs’ athletic department knew it would take a hit.

Football coach Alex Mebane probably didn’t realize how hard and how swiftly that hit would come. He found out on one play Friday night.

Quarterback Rhyne Kivett had

just hooked up with Nathan Willett for a 23-yard touchdown pass midway through the third quarter, drawing the Bulldogs within 24-19 of visiting Surry Central.

But on the ensuing kickoff, Central’s Wes Brown ran through the Trinity kickoff team for a momentum-robbing 84-yard touchdown return.

Mebane made no excuses.

“We come back, score, then they go the distance on the kickoff,” he offered. “Why? They’re

just better, I guess. I think my kids are trying, but I looked at my personnel sheet and I had the best 10 I could have out there.

That’s the best 10 I’ve got, and it wasn’t good enough.”

The Bulldogs certainly showed flashes of escaping the rut that’s put them in an 0-4 hole so far.

Kivett passed for 174 yards and two touchdowns; and dive back Colin Stout rumbled for 168 yards on the ground.

But Trinity gave up 265 yards

rushing, an interception return for a touchdown, and a long passing touchdown on third and 16.

Mebane’s offensive scheme has always relied more on flawless execution than pure athletic ability. He hopes his squad can turn it around soon before entering conference play in the PAC6.

“If you’re doing the best you can and it’s not good enough, you just have to accept it sometimes.”

Close call escapes Bison

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – They say football is a game of inches. As it turns out, Friday night’s game between High Point Central and Ben L. Smith was a game of fingernails.

The Bison (3-1) clawed their way back into a contest dominated by the Eagles thanks to three lengthy come-from-behind drives led by quarterback Drew Adams. Central tied the score at 29 and sent the game into overtime, only to watch as the fingers of Smith defensive backs spoiled all four Adams attempts in the extra session.

Following a 5-yard TD run by Eagles tailback Elijah Jordan that put Smith ahead 35-29, Adams had his number called four consecutive times in the hopes he could deliver his fourth score of the game.

But unlike the 16-play, 98-yard

drive that began the rally for Central in which Adams successfully completed 8-of-11 throws with remarkable accuracy, Smith’s defense locked in on Adams’ eyes and left him without options in the passing game. He tried forcing the ball into tight spaces to no avail and made every effort to find room, but the cramped goal-line setting was his undoing.

A remarkable individual performance by the Eagles’ Jordan became the story of the night after Central’s inability to complete the improbable comeback. A diminutive back at 5-foot-5, 150 pounds, Jordan was relied upon heavily by a one-dimensional Smith offense.

In 45 carries, he assembled 311 yards on the ground to go along with 83 combined passing and receiving.

No doubt the Bison defense will try to put a finger on what went wrong prior to Friday’s showdown against T. Wingate Andrews.

Giants open $1.6 billion stadium vs. Panthers EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – The Carolina Panthers have a nasty habit of spoiling high-profile games for the New York Giants.

When New York got to the playoffs in 2005 for the first time under Tom Coughlin, the Panthers came north and made them looking ordinary in a 23-0 shutout.

And just nine months ago, Carolina ruined New York’s final game in Giants Stadium and knocked them out of the playoff race in the process with an embarrassing 41-9 win on Dec. 27.

The Panthers will get another shot at playing the spoiler role today when they face New York in the Giants’ first regular-season NFL game at their new $1.6 billion stadium.

The Jets, who co-own the 82,500 seat stadium that already has been chosen to site for the Super Bowl in 2014, will have their opener here against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night.

“A win period sets the tone,” said Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams, who rushed for 1,117 last season.

“This will be a big game. The way we finished out last year against this team, and to open up a new stadium against this team, they haven’t forgotten what happened to them last year.

“They were fighting for a playoff berth and we kind of came in and spoiled it for them a little bit,” Williams added.

“I know they haven’t forgotten what we did to them physically and mentally.

I know they’re going to be prepared.

We’ve just got to be prepared for what they’re going to bring to the table.”

The Giants are well aware of the re-

cent history this game carries with it.

“They beat our butts,” place-kicker Lawrence Tynes said. “For the guys that were here, the coaches and organization, this one is pretty important. The way we finished last year was unacceptable. I don’t get to do a lot of physical stuff, but I am sure that a lot of the guys are planning to play that way.”

Both teams have a lot to prove this season. After winning their divisions in 2008 with 12-4 records, the Giants and Panthers each slipped to 8-8 last season and missed the playoffs.

The Giants started out with five straight wins in 2009 and lost eight of their final 11. Carolina went the other way, losing its first three while finishing with four wins in five games.

The Panthers have undergone major changes. Quarterback Jake Delhomme and defensive end Julius Peppers are playing elsewhere in a shakeup that has seen Carolina emerge as the league’s youngest team.

Matt Moore, who was at the helm in the late surge, has taken over as quarterback for an offense that relies on the running of Williams and Jonathan Stewart, who gained 1,133 rushing, including a career-best 206 vs. New York last year.

The Giants changes have been mainly on defense, where former Bills interim coach Perry Fewell took over as coordinator. The unit was bolstered by the free-agent signings of safeties Antrel Rolle and Deon Grant and linebacker Keith Bulluck. The return of safety Kenny Phillips following major knee surgery also has been a boost to a unit.

Carolina quarterback Matt Moore (3) scrambles for a first down away from New York Giants linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka in this Dec. 27, 2009 file photo in East Rutherford, N.J. Moore and the Panthers open the season today on the road against the Giants.

The concern for Carolina is its offense.

The group failed to score a touchdown in the preseason and Moore completed only 56 percent of his passes.

Despite losing Peppers to free agency, the Panthers had 19 sacks in four preseason games.

The strength of the Giants is their offense. Eli Manning had a career year,

throwing for 4,021 yards and 27 touchdowns and receiver Steve Smith set franchise record with 107 catches in 2009.

The biggest change will be Ahmad Bradshaw replacing Brandon Jacobs as the No. 1 running back, although Jacobs will play some because the Giants alternate their backs.

McNabb makes Redskins debut vs. Cowboys

AP

Quarterback Donovan McNabb makes his first start with the Redskins tonight when Washington plays host to arch-rival Dallas. McNabb is no stranger to the Cowboys, having faced them often with the Eagles.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) – The last two times Donovan McNabb played a game that counted, he was trying to beat Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys.

And it didn’t end well.

McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles lost 240 to end the regular season, then 34-14 to the Cowboys in the first round of the NFC playoffs in January. McNabb had only one touchdown pass in the two games combined, and Eagles fans might never let him live down his air-guitar entrance at Texas Stadium before the playoff game, which turned out to be his last in a Philadelphia uniform.

It’s time to try, try again. McNabb’s new team, the Washington Redskins, is hosting the Cowboys on tonight to open the 2010 season, making him the first quarterback since the 1970 merger to face the same team for three straight games.

Asked if he has any special gig planned as he runs out of the tunnel on prime time television, McNabb sounded like someone who is ready to turn the page.

“I may have retired the guitar. I may bring the drums out, bring the symbols,” he said with a laugh. “It’s funny, anything I do I guess is a big story, huh? It’s something that we had been doing all year. We had our formal band.

So it was a way for us to kind of have fun and relax and then go out and play. Obviously if we would’ve won that game, people would’ve been looking for the air guitar and maybe I would’ve had my own little PlayStation game.

“But, you know what? That was back then.

Obviously we need a little focus. Let’s get out here and play football.”

So it’s McNabb vs. Romo once again, only

now with McNabb in burgundy. Romo and the Cowboys look much like the same team they were a year ago and have designs on hosting the Super Bowl in their own stadium in February.

The Redskins, meanwhile, are overhauled completely with a new front office, new schemes on offense and defense, and, of course, new coach Mike Shanahan.

It’s all a bit odd for Romo, who went to Eastern Illinois – the same college as Shanahan – and was close to signing to play for the coach at Denver before deciding on Dallas as a free agent in 2003.

“I rooted for Mike from afar, just because we know each other a little bit, and he’s a great guy,” Romo said. “It’s funny, I thought if Donovan got traded, I could start to root for him again, but now I’ve got to stop rooting for him again. Same with Mike. They’re really good guys, and you’d root for them if they weren’t in your division.”

Romo holds the edge 5-2 over McNabb when the quarterbacks have gone head-to-head, and he’s favored to win this one as well as Shanahan attempts to rebuild a team that went 4-12 last year. As if this edition of the storied rivalry didn’t have enough subplots, everyone will also be watching how the Redskins use troublesome defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who has been in Shanahan’s proverbial woodshed for months and is still listed as a backup nose tackle.

Perhaps the biggest disadvantage for the Cowboys is that they’re facing something unfamiliar, while the Redskins know what to expect from a Dallas team coached by Wade Phillips.

NFL’s Odd Couple: Belichick and Ochocinco THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chad Ochocinco likes flashy gold cleats and sharing details of his life on social networks. Bill Belichick prefers drab hoodies and keeping to himself.

One thing they have in common: a most unexpected friendship.

They hit it off during their Pro Bowl practices and have built a relationship that transcends their occasional headto-head matchups. The Patriots’ coach spent much of last week trying to figure out how to contain the Bengals receiver when they open the season in New England today.

“I like Chad,” Belichick said. “I like him as a player. I like him as a person. I like his enthusiasm and the fun he has with football, and I like how he competes on the football field. I have a lot of respect for that.

“An odd couple, but in the end I think we have a lot of things in common.”

Well, maybe not a lot, but enough to gain each other’s respect.

“It became a relationship beyond just a football player and a coach,” said Ochocinco, a six-time Pro Bowl selection. “He became a friend of mine. He has a lot of respect for me in my game and I have a lot of respect for him in ev-

erything he’s done as a coach.

“We just became really close and fond of each other’s work. He’s one that I look up to tremendously, one that I’ve never played for, but I show the same respect as if he was my own head coach.”

MANNING IN AGGIELAND Peyton Manning once considered playing at Texas A&M – until he saw the cover of the media guide.

Manning first met Houston coach Gary Kubiak on a recruiting visit to College Station in the early 1990s, when Manning was mulling college offers. Kubiak, a former A&M quarterback, was the school’s running backs coach under R.C. Slocum. Current A&M coach and former Texans assistant Mike Sherman was also on Slocum’s staff.

When Manning and his father, Archie, arrived, the coaches tried to convince Peyton that the Aggies were going to feature him in a high-flying, passing game. But then Manning saw three running backs on the cover of a media guide and recognized what the Aggies really were.

“They were talking about how much they were going to throw the ball, they were going to air it out at Texas A&M,” Manning remembers. “I checked the

media guide and they had Rodney Thomas, Greg Hill and Leeland McElroy on the cover, three All-Star running backs. But yet they were telling me that they were going to, all of a sudden, air it out and throw the ball.

“It was a pretty good recruiting pitch,” he said. “I didn’t bite, knowing that throwing the ball at A&M was probably a long shot.”

Manning threw for 11,201 yards and 90 touchdowns in four seasons at Tennessee from 1994-97.

SUPER ODDS A Super Bowl rematch? The oddsmakers like the chances of the Saints and Colts going at it again in February.

Indianapolis has been made an 8-1 favorite to win the NFL title, according to BetUS. That’s just ahead of New Orleans at 9-1.

Also at 9-1 are San Diego and Dallas, which will host the game on Feb. 6. No team has played in a Super Bowl in its home stadium.

Listed at 10-1 are the Vikings, Packers and Ravens. The Patriots and Jets have 12-1 odds. The longest shot, not surprisingly, is St. Louis at 200-1. The Rams won one game in 2009.

Four-time most valuable player Pey-

ton Manning is an 11-2 shot to win another award. Nobody else has won more than three.

The Colts’ sensational quarterback is trailed by Saints QB Drew Brees at 7-1, Patriots QB Tom Brady and Chargers QB Philip Rivers at 9-1. The shortest odds for a non-quarterback have Titans running back Chris Johnson at 10-1. Johnson rushed for 2,006 yards in 2009, when he won offensive player of the year honors.

DROP KICKS Who has the most wins in home openers? The Chicago Bears with 61. The Bears, 61-25-4 in home openers, play host to the Detroit Lions today. ... The most road wins in season openers? That would be the Green Bay Packers with 51. The Packers visit the Philadelphia Eagles today. ... The Indianapolis Colts have the best regular-season record over the past 10 years at 115-45; the New England Patriots are next at 112-48. ...

Best opening weekend performances over the past 10 years include Atlanta’s Michael Turner rushing for 220 yards against Detroit in 2008, St. Louis’ Kurt Warner passing for 441 yards against Denver in 2000, and Arizona’s Anquan Boldin totaling 217 yards receiving against Detroit in 2003.

Dukes stun No. 13 Hokies, 21-16 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Drew Dudzik ran for two touchdowns and threw for another Saturday and James Madison handed No. 13 Virginia Tech its second loss in six days, 21-16.

Dudzik scored on second-half runs of seven and 12 yards as the Dukes (2-0) became only the second team from the Football Championship Subdivision to beat the Hokies. Richmond did it in 1985, a year after the Spiders dropped down to the Football Championship Subdivision.

The Hokies (0-2) began the season with national championship aspirations, but the offense that was supposed to be their strength did less against the Dukes than against No. 3 Boise State on Monday night. They lost that game 33-30 on a TD with 1:09 remaining.

(2) OHIO ST. 36, (12) MIAMI 24 COLUMBUS, Ohio – Eight seasons later, the rematch wasn’t nearly as close.

Terrelle Pryor ran for 113 yards and a touchdown and passed for another Saturday and No. 2 Ohio State intercepted Jacory Harris four times in a 36-24 victory over 12th-ranked Miami on Saturday.

The last time the teams had met was in the national championship game at the 2003 Fiesta Bowl, with the Buckeyes taking a dramatic and controversial 31-24 victory in double-overtime.

But this one was no work of art, with numerous sloppy plays and bad tackling. But it kept the Buckeyes (2-0) perfect and prevented the Hurricanes (1-1) from making a case they belonged back among the nation’s elite.

In what was billed as a Heisman showcase, Pryor completed just 12 of 27 passes for 233 yards but added 20 carries, scoring on a 13-yard run. Harris was 22 of 39 passing for 232 yards and a touchdown but had the four interceptions – three of which could easily have been caught.

It was the last interception which proved to be particularly costly for the ’Canes. Trailing 26-17 at the half, Miami took the second-half kickoff and drove to a first down at the Ohio State 6. But on third-and-goal, Harris’ pass over the middle was wide of the mark and intercepted by burly Buckeyes defensive end Cameron Heyward, who rumbled 80 yards. That set up Pryor’s touchdown run. He rolled right, looking to pass, then reversed field and scored untouched.

(10) OKLAHOMA 47, (17) FSU 17 NORMAN, Okla. – Landry Jones outplayed Christian Ponder by throwing for 380 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 10 Oklahoma moved past a shaky season opener with a 47-17 victory against No. 17 Florida State on Saturday.

A rematch of the 2001 Orange Bowl that brought home the Sooners’ most recent national championship quickly turned into a blowout as Oklahoma (20) scored touchdowns on its first four possessions.

Jones did much of his damage with short, swing passes and screens near the line of scrimmage before striking down field for scores. He completed

14 straight passes at one point, starting at the end of the Sooners’ opening drive and continuing past when he’d pushed the lead to 27-7 with his third touchdown pass.

Ponder was just 11 for 28 for 113 yards with interceptions on back-toback throws in the third quarter for Florida State (1-1).

KANSAS 28, (15) GEORGIA TECH 25 LAWRENCE, Kan. – Jordan Webb threw three touchdown passes and Kansas rebounded from last week’s humiliating loss to North Dakota State with a 28-25 upset Saturday of No. 15 Georgia Tech.

Capping a tumultuous eight days which included the abrupt retirement of their controversial athletic director, the Jayhawks (1-1) capitalized on a succession of mistakes by the heavily favored Yellow Jackets (1-1) and posted their biggest win since the 2008 Orange Bowl.

Webb, who replaced last week’s starter, was 18 for 29 for 179 yards and three TDs. Georgia Tech quarterback Joshua Nesbitt scored touchdowns on runs of 9 and 4 yards, giving him five in two games.

After booing the Jayhawks during their 6-3 loss to North Dakota State, fans flooded the field to celebrate as the final seconds ticked away in this unexpected victory. Georgia Tech, the defending ACC champion, was favored by two touchdowns.

BOSTON COLLEGE 26, KENT STATE 13 BOSTON – Dave Shinskie returned after being taken out in the first half and threw a pair of third-quarter touchdown passes, and Boston College took advantage of five Kent State turnovers to win 26-13 on Saturday.

Boston College (2-0) has beaten Kent State in three straight seasons by a combined score of 81-20; last year, the Golden Flashes didn’t get across midfield until the fourth quarter.

Kent State (1-1) had two fumbles and three interceptions.

CLEMSON 58, PRESBYTERIAN 21 CLEMSON, S.C. – Kyle Parker threw for 114 yards and two touchdowns in just four possessions to lead Clemson to a 58-21 win over Presbyterian on Saturday.

After five offensive plays, the Tigers (2-0) led 14-0 against undersized Presbyterian. Presbyterian (0-2) is on a 16game losing streak.

MARYLAND 62, MORGAN STATE 3 COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Backup Danny O’Brien threw three touchdown passes in a 45-point first half, and Maryland enjoyed its highest-scoring performance in 35 years, a 62-3 rout of Morgan State on Saturday night.

Playing on only four days rest after defeating Navy on Monday, the Terrapins (2-0) scored on their opening three possessions and added four touchdowns in the second quarter.

That propelled Maryland to its largest victory margin since a 61-0 win over the Citadel on Sept. 13, 2003.

The 62 points was the most by the Terrapins in one game since a 62-24 win over Virginia on Nov. 22, 1975. Morgan State (1-1) gained only six yards in the first half and finished with 85.

Presley, Mountaineers roll THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOONE – DeAndre Presley passed for 285 yards and four touchdowns, three to Brian Quick, as Appalachian State defeated Jacksonville 45-14 Saturday.

Presley passed for two touchdowns in each half as the Mountaineers (2-0), who are 59-19-2 in home openers, took a 17-7 halftime lead over the Dolphins (1-1), then put the game away with four second-half scores.

Quick, who had six receptions for 132 yards, scored the Mountaineers’ first touchdown on a 41-yard reception, then caught a 15-yard scoring pass with 2:45 left in the first half. He scored on another 41-yarder with 1:48 left in the third quarter for a 31-14 lead.

Presley, the Mountaineers’ leading rusher with 101 yards on 16 carries, also threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Ben Jorden.

NORFOLK STATE 23, N.C. A&T 14 NORFOLK, Va. – DeAngelo Branche rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown and Dwight Fluker-Berry scored on a 50-yard fumble return as Norfolk State defeated N.C. A&T 23-14 Saturday.

With Branche carrying the ball 38 times, the Spartans (1-1, 1-0 Mid-

Eastern Athletic Conference) had 195 yards on the ground while holding the Aggies (0-2, 0-1) to 31 yards rushing.

After Chris Walley’s 27-yard touchdown pass to Victor Hairston, Branche scored on a 2-yard run for a 13-0 Norfolk State lead with 14:55 left in the first half. Brandon Hover scored on a 9-yard fumble recovery to pull A&T within 13-7 at halftime. Torrian Warren returned a kickoff 78 yards for an Aggies touchdown.

GARDNER-WEBB 38, AKRON 37 (OT) AKRON, Ohio – Gardner-Webb blocked an extra point and Juanne Blount scored on a 4-yard run in overtime to beat Akron 38-37 on Saturday.

The Bulldogs (2-0) trailed 31-17 after Akron’s Igor Ivelijic made a 48-yard field goal with 2:36 left in the third quarter. James Perry III, who finished with 125 yards receiving on 10 catches, caught touchdown passes of 4 and 13 yards from Chandler Browning to tie the game at 31-31.

In overtime, the Zips (0-2) pulled ahead 37-31 on a 9-yard touchdown run

by Alex Allen. He finished with 110 yards rushing on 20 carries, including two more touchdowns.

But Ivelijic’s extra point was blocked

by Gardner-Webb.

Clijsters beats Zvonareva for 3rd U.S. Open title NEW YORK (AP) – Kim Clijsters of Belgium won her second consecutive U.S. Open championship and third overall Saturday night, easily beating Vera Zvonareva of Russia 6-2, 6-1 in the final.

The second-seeded Clijsters played far steadier than the seventh-seeded Zvonareva, who was warned by the chair umpire when she cracked her racket on the court after missing one shot. Clijsters

made only 15 unforced errors, nine fewer than Zvonareva.

Clijsters is the first woman since Venus Williams in 2000-01 to win the title in Flushing Meadows two years in a row. Clijsters has a 21-match winning streak at the U.S. Open, which she also won in 2005. She missed the tournament in 2006 because of injuries, and skipped it the next two years while taking time off to get married and have a baby.

Former tight end Ron Kramer dead at 75 ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Former Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions tight end Ron Kramer has died at age 75.

The University of Michigan said Kramer died Saturday at his home. It did not release the cause of death.

Kramer caught two TD passes from Bart Starr in Green Bay’s 1961 NFL championship victory over the New York Giants. He had his most productive season in 1962 with 37 receptions for 555 yards and seven touchdowns and was an All-Pro. Kramer spent seven seasons with the Packers and three seasons with the Detroit.

Before that, he earned three letters each in football, basketball and track at Michigan.

After retiring, he operated Ron Kramer Industries in Fenton, Mich., about 35 miles north of Ann Arbor.

Klitschko stops Peter

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Wladimir Klitschko kept this one from going to the scorecards.

Five years after he was knocked down three times in a tough victory over Samuel Peter, the IBF and WBO champion battered and bloodied the Nigerian challenger before finally stopping him with 1:22 left in the 10th round of another dominating performance.

Klitschko (55-3, 49 KOs) unleashed a flurry of blows to send Peter to the canvas, an uppercut and left hook doing the final bit of damage. Referee Robert Byrd began counting but then waved his hands to call the fight over.

Peter (34-4) at least showed up to fight, which is more than can be said for most opponents who stand across from Klitschko these days. And it’s more than can be said for mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin, who backed out of the fight after it had been agreed upon.

Durant, U.S. reach final ISTANBUL (AP) – Kevin Durant is unlike most of America’s biggest basketball stars. He couldn’t wait to wear the red, white and blue this summer.

Especially on Sept. 11.

With a special memorial message on his sneakers, Durant carried the United States into the gold-medal game at the world championship, scoring a U.S.-record 38 points Saturday in an 89-74 victory over Lithuania.

Durant soared over defenders or stepped away from them for 3-pointers, scoring 17 in the first quarter to

stake the Americans to an early lead that was never seriously challenged.

He went on to surpass Carmelo Anthony’s single-game record of 35 points and raise his average in the tournament to 22.1, which would be the best ever by a U.S. player.

More importantly, Durant guaranteed the Americans a chance at their first world title since 1994. They will play today against Turkey, which beat Serbia 83-82 in the other semifinal. “That’s what we came here to do,” guard Eric Gordon said. “We want gold.”

Alonso takes pole for Italian GP MONZA, Italy (AP) – Fernando Alonso marked his Italian Grand Prix debut for Ferrari on Saturday by taking pole position for the Formula One race.

The two-time world champion from Spain set the pace with a lap of 1 minute, 21.962 seconds for his 19th career pole. It was the Italian team’s first qualifying win since the 2008 Brazilian GP – a span of 30 races.

Defending world champion Jenson Button of McLaren finished just over one-tenth of a second slower to start on the front row for the first time in 23

races. Alonso and Button need strong showings in today’s 53-lap race to stay close in the championship fight.

Felipe Massa of Ferrari and Mark Webber of Red Bull fill out the second row, while F1 leader Lewis Hamilton of McLaren will start fifth.

Sebastian Vettel was sixth for Red Bull, which had taken pole in 12 of the first 13 races this season.

Hamilton, the 2008 F1 champion, has 182 points to lead Webber by three.

Vettel is third with 151 points. Button is next with 147 points, six more than Alonso.

Lane and Hunter Murray made memories in the Dove Field last Monday at Beaver Pond.

The reminiscing celebration

T

his week, my preacher, Eric Peacock, managed to get dove hunting into the Sunday sermon. He managed this by saying the opening of dove season is one of the things that most vividly reminds him of his father. He reminisced about the pleasure they’d experienced pursuing the Carolina tradition of sweating in the September sun in pursuit of that tiny rocket that is the mourning dove.

Eric’s story of this year’s hunt was about his young son, Adam, coming along for the first time. Last Saturday was a perfect early fall day, he got a limit for the first time in his life.

Thinking of dove hunts past, he felt compelled to visit his dad’s gravesite on the way home.

Those stories are what keep us involved in the outdoors. If you check out the websites where hunters write in reports, you’ll find them full of stories about this past weekend and how it took them back with memories of past hunts. There’s just something in the dove hunt that’s ingrained in the hearts of southern sportsmen. Almost everyone who shoots a shotgun at flying birds has a cherished dove hunting story.

Of course, it’s not just about the dove shooting. It’s about friends seeing each other again after a summer respite. It’s about breaking bread with folks you care about and catching up while looking ahead to the fall season. Last Saturday at Beaver Pond, we gathered to shoot a few clays and have a little cookout before time to hit the fields. The conversations were about the times we cherished in our lives. We talked about companions from the fields now gone on, about great dogs, great hunts, and remembered funny stories. Many of the friendships were relatively new but the bond was there because of the common love of the outdoors.

Whether the interest is in fishing, shooting, or hunting, those who love traditional outdoor sports thrive on the memories and those memories draw us back. It’s impossible to go back in time and actually re-live those memories but there are always more memories to be made.

In the old country, shooting game was often an organized affair with the “guns,” as hunters are called at driven game shoots. The guns often came from some distance and were invited based on a common social standing. The Continental shoot is a social event with tradition determining the methods of the hunt. In most of Europe, the game belongs to the landowner and he controls when and how it’s taken.

In the New World, South, the state controls the game rather than the landowner. The state determines the beginning of the shooting season, the number of birds that can be bagged, and the method the game is taken.

Since we have few country estates that have sufficient holdings to support this kind of hunting, we’ve adopted certain parts of our hunting heritage to serve as the social part of our outdoor tradition. The dove hunt is ideal because it can accommodate a large number of

hunters and the hunting is casual in nature.

Of course, another traditional outdoor social gathering is the hunting camp. Hunting camps have been a popular way for duck and deer SPORTS hunters to socialize for decades. Gatherings Dick center around work Jones days, opening days, and ■■■ holidays. Some hunting camps are just a place to cook and sleep and some are quite elaborate. Gordon McQuarrie, Robert Ruark, and Ed Zern, all wrote great stories about the social aspects of hunting camps and of the allure of having a place to meet up before and after the hunt to strengthen the memories that bring so much pleasure.

Due to the loss of our beloved bobwhite quail, a kind of crossover event that ties both hunting camps and traditional dove hunting social event has become popular in the last few years.

It’s the game preserve dove hunt.

Game preserves provide a substitute for the family farms that sportsmen hunted quail on 50 years ago. The idea of game preserves is certainly no new idea in the Carolinas. This very area was a Mecca for quail hunters at the turn of the century with almost a dozen large game preserves within 20 miles of High Point.

Today’s game preserves are more like sportsmen’s clubs. Normally the owner is an entrepreneur who owns or rents the property and plants or arranges for planting of crops that will be beneficial to wildlife and the type of hunting targeted. Some preserves are public and open to anyone who wants to pay for a specific event. Some dove hunts like this have as many as 500 hunters and cover hundreds or thousands of acres.

Private clubs are for the use of members and their guests only and involve annual fees that run from hundreds to thousands of dollars per year. Some, like Beaver Pond where, as a member, I shot this past weekend, host charity events with non-member participants shooting along with members to raise money for the charity. We raised about $2500 for Operation Enduring Gratitude Saturday and had a great time to boot.

Our little dove hunt was a coming together of hunters, wives, kids, and dogs and a celebration of the return of the hunting season. When you combine all that with the concept of raising money to improve the life of your fellow man, why, I guess that’s something to preach about. Well said, Preacher.

The Fitzgerald family saved last year’s Christmas gifts to open this year, after Ryan came home.

Ryan’s hope After a near-fatal car accident on Christmas Eve and four months in the hospital, Ryan Fitzgerald is getting his life back

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

T

he Christmas tree, the lights, the decorations – they’re all gone.

But in a bedroom at the home of Charles and Charlene Fitzgerald, you’ll find a pile of neatly wrapped presents – nearly three dozen of them – bright, colorful remnants of a Christmas not yet celebrated.

“It just never felt right to celebrate,” says the Ledford couple’s daughter, Melissa, who now lives in Charlotte – and whose former bedroom houses the unopened presents. “Not without Ryan.”

Ryan is Melissa’s younger brother, a former three-sport star athlete at Ledford High School. Last Dec. 24, after attending his church’s Christmas Eve candlelight service and then riding around with his family to look at Christmas lights, Ryan left to take some roses to the girl he’d been dating.

“He knew they wouldn’t see each other the next day,” Char-

’It never entered my mind that Ryan wasn’t going to leave that hospital with us.’

Melissa Fitzgerald Ryan’s sister lene recalls, “so he just wanted to run them over there real quick.”

Four months later – four long, agonizing months later – Ryan finally made it back home. **** No one knows exactly what happened to Ryan that night – least of all Ryan, who has no memory of that evening. He had promised to be home by 12:30 a.m., and he typically made good on his word when it came to curfews, but not this time.

“We knew something was wrong,” Charlene says. “We started calling his cell phone, but he didn’t answer. We just kept calling.”

Finally, a male voice answered – not Ryan, but a state patrolman.

Ryan had been in a bad accident on Midway School Road, and had been rushed to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, he said. According to the patrolman, Ryan’s car probably ran off the right side of the road at about 55 mph, and then he overcorrected to get back on the road, causing him to collide with a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction.

The news at the hospital was grim. Ryan was in ICU, in critical condition, with a severe head injury. Three cracked vertebrae.

Lungs filled with fluid. Compound fracture of the right leg. Loss of right arm function, almost as if he’d suffered a stroke.

Doctors monitored Ryan’s intra-

Harassed worker keeps quiet in tough job market

Dear Grossed Out: Tell the man you don’t like what he’s doing and to stop it. If he doesn’t, be sure that every incident is documented, including date and time. If the company has a sexual harassment policy, you should follow it or go to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or equivalent state agency office nearest you and file a claim. Your job will be protected during the investigation that will follow.

Dear Abby: My family and I recently spent time with my parents at their home in another state. After we

returned, my 10-year-old son and his 14-year-old sister told me they don’t like going to visit them.

My mom loves us, but she is a negative and depressed person. She doesn’t love Dad and ADVICE doesn’t bother to disguise that fact.

Dear I mentioned this to Abby a friend and she said I ■■■ should tell my mother what my son said.

She thinks it could make Mom “see the light” and change for the better.

Considering my mother’s depressed state, should I tell her? – Undecided in Michigan Dear Undecided: Perhaps. But if you do, be diplomatic. You might begin by telling her you could see how “down” she was when you all came to visit, and that she could get so much more out of life if she sought professional help for her depression – specifically some sessions with a licensed counselor.

uestion: I don’t like the way my son and his wife are raising their kids. I don’t want to interfere, but shouldn’t I have a say in what’s good for my own grandchildren?

Juli: There is an excellent chance that your son and daughter-in-law know that you have some concerns about how they’re raising your grandkids. Young parents harbor a lot of doubts of their own and quickly pick up the vibe when a close friend or relative disapproves of their parenting. Your son and his wife are likely to be more defensive and withdrawn from you the more they pick up on your concerns.

Whether or not you realize it, you potentially have a fair amount of influence in their parenting. They may even welcome your perspective and opinion – but only if they first feel safe with you.

Influence is a tricky thing. When you overreach with it, you lose it. A lot of parents and in-laws are too forceful with their opinions and unsolicited advice. This causes a young couple to distance themselves in order to ward off potential criticism.

Your greatest influence is your presence with your son, his wife and children. Even if you never mention your concerns or offer advice,

Dear P.B.: Because increasing numbers of individuals are being diagnosed with dementia, I hope your suggestion will be taken to heart by my readers. In cases like this, the visitor should expect to be the one who guides the conversation. It’s important to keep visits positive, loving and stress-free.

Jim Daly and My Juli Slattery encourage■■■ ment to you is to build a trusting relationship, particularly with your daughter-in-law.

Find ways that you can genuinely compliment her as a wife and mother, remembering that motherhood can, at times, be an exhausting marathon. Show her that you care about her as a person, and as difficult as it may be, let go of your concerns for now. The day will come when she is desperate for a word of advice or wisdom. She’s far more likely to seek you out if you have built a trusting relationship than if she feels threatened by your disapproval.

with your father and make it clear that it’s your right and responsibility to oversee your children’s spiritual growth. He doesn’t have to like the fact that they’re attending church with you, but he needs to respect your decision.

At the same time, I can empathize with your desire to maintain a good relationship with him, especially for the sake of your kids. Growing up, I didn’t have any grandparents. There’s evidence my mom and dad may have been part of the witness protection program (no joke!), and so extended family was nonexistent. I would have loved nothing more than to have someone to call “Grandma” and “Grandpa.” With that in mind, it would be tragic if you and your kids were to become estranged from your dad over this issue.

The challenge, then,

is to arrive at a point of compromise. Make it clear to your dad that you love and respect him, and that you want your kids to be able to spend quality time with their grandpa. But also make it clear that you need to make your own choices as a parent, and that if he has concerns about your family’s spiritual path, he should take them up with you, not the kids. It won’t be easy, but with honesty, open communication and respect from both parties, there’s no reason your kids can’t continue to have a fun and healthy relationship with their grandpa.

Dear Abby: I have been a social worker in two skilled nursing homes for the past six years. I often hear visitors approach patients with dementia and say, “Do you know who I am?” or “Do you know who this is?” It’s like giving the person with dementia a test, one which the person will often fail. It would be more effective to approach the person and say, “It is so nice to see you. I am (whomever) and knew you (in whatever circumstances).”

Persons with dementia do not need to be reminded that they don’t recall something. Most of them know it. Even relatives – brothers, sisters, sons and daughters – may need to introduce

themselves to their loved ones. Rather than giving the person with dementia a test when you visit, set up the visit to succeed by making simple introductions.

Remember, people who have dementia can remember things that happened a long time ago, but they may not recall what happened in the last five minutes.

Visitors should talk about the “good old days” and everyone will experience a good visit. – P.B. in North Carolina

cranial pressure closely.

Brain damage was a strong possibility. Death was not out of the question.

The family wept and prayed, but not necessarily in that order.

News travels fast in a small community like Ledford, and by Christmas morning, word of Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accident had cast a dark cloud over the holiday. The community, though, rallied around the Fitzgeralds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Christmas Day, when we thought we would be up there at the hospital all by ourselves, we wrote down everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name who came because we wanted Ryan to know who came, and it was more than a hundred people,â&#x20AC;? Charlene says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it went that way for several days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have 95 or a hundred people a day.â&#x20AC;?

A hastily organized prayer vigil at the high school drew about 250 people.

Well-wishers wrote messages of hope and encouragement, which were plastered on the walls of Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room in ICU. A Facebook group, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Praying For Ryan Fitzgerald,â&#x20AC;? grew to nearly 4,000 members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community has been awesome,â&#x20AC;? Charlene says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had has just overwhelmed us. Like that Facebook group, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just awesome the feeling that it gives you, the warmth that you feel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like you can hear God talking to you more.â&#x20AC;? **** A week passed before a doctor finally told the family Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injuries no longer appeared to be lifethreatening.

They could be, however, life-altering. How much brain function would Ryan regain? Would his body heal completely?

The doctors simply didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were pretty black-and-white and bleak about what the outcome could be,â&#x20AC;? Charles says.

Ryan faced road bump after road bump. The doctors couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set his broken leg for nearly a week, for example, because every time they tried, it sent his heart rate and intracranial pressure readings skyrocketing.

He contracted pneumonia twice. He struggled to breathe on his own when the doctors tried to wean him off of the respirator.

He suffered memory and cognition lapses. He even developed a bedsore that inhibited his ability to participate in rehab. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say we got a lot of bad news,â&#x20AC;? Charles says.

Charles Fitzgerald helps his son, Ryan, walk during his rehabilitation in the hospital. praying or lose faith that their God would heal Ryan, they say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been so sure of something,â&#x20AC;? says Charlene, who spent many an hour walking the hospital halls, praying as she walked.

She recalls walking and praying one early morning and seeing a beautiful sunrise from an 11th-floor window at the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just felt God saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be healing today,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she says.

That night, she continues, Ryan talked for the first time since his accident.

For 116 days, including three weeks in intensive care, the family clung to their unshakable faith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When something like this happens to you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you believe in God like we do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re either going to get mad at Him, or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thank you, God, that Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still alive, and please help us through this,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Melissa says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw all these other people in ICU, and I have no idea how somebody could get through something like that without having God to pray to and having someone to have hope in. From the very beginning, it never entered my mind that Ryan wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to leave that hospital with us.â&#x20AC;?

And on April 19 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nearly four months after the accident that nearly killed him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ryan Fitzgerald did just that. ****

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gained back about half of the 45 pounds he lost in the hospital, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all muscle. He works out a minimum of three times a week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; typically more often than that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and is working with a personal trainer to get his right arm fully functional again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My arm doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like me,â&#x20AC;? he says with a grin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work quite right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it will.â&#x20AC;?

In the meantime, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attending Davidson County Community College and plans to return to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he was a sophomore business marketing major at the time of the accident.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also eager to get his driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license back and believes that will happen soon.

Charlene says she has no doubt her son will regain his full health.

She has faith in him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never given up,â&#x20AC;? she says â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and faith in God. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just call him â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Miracle,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Charlene says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a miracle.â&#x20AC;?

When Christmas rolls around this year, you can bet the Fitzgeralds will celebrate more than enough to make up for missing the holiday last year.

For one thing, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that bedroom full of presents that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been opened yet.

And then, more importantly, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that other bedroom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the biggest gift of them all.

Ryan, now 21, looks great these days.

Grading of breast cancer is based on how much the cancer cells differ from normal breast cells. Cells that look very immature and show rapid division are considered the most aggressive grade of cancer and most likely to spread quickly.

The grading scale is 1 to 4, with 1 being a low-grade cancer, one not apt to spread rapidly, and 4 being a high-grade cancer, one more likely to spread to distant sites and to grow faster.

(This next part is not for you M.C., but for others.) Staging takes into account tumor size (T), spread to nodes (N) and spread to distant body sites or organs (M â&#x20AC;&#x201C; metastasis). A T-1, N-0, M-0 breast cancer is one that is less than 2 cm (4/5th of an inch) without any involvement of lymph nodes or any spread to other organs.

This is also called stage I. Staging ranges from stage I to stage IV, and has A and B subdivisions of those stages.

Staging makes use of the TNM information.

A stage II cancer is one larger (2 to 5 cm) than stage I, or one that has spread to one lymph node.

All of this is confusing to a novice. And other factors have to be considered when determining prognosis.

One of those factors is the responsiveness of the breast tumor to hormones. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t material that a patient

should try to figure out for herself.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your doctor who can HEALTH accurately assess Dr. Paul these difDonohue ferences â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; in breast cancer, determine the best treatment and hazard a guess about prognosis.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a good question to ask you. My niece went on vacation to one of the small Caribbean islands. While on the beach, she scraped her foot. The next day, her foot started to swell, and a red line was creeping up her leg. Her husband took her to a clinic. They said she had cellulitis. Her leg swelled more. They gave her an antibiotic. By that time, her leg was twice its normal size, and the swelling was up to the knee.

Can you explain what all of this is? She is 61 years old and in otherwise good health. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; R.C. Cellulitis is an infection of skin cells (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cellâ&#x20AC;? of â&#x20AC;&#x153;cellulitisâ&#x20AC;?) and the tissues directly beneath the skin. The usual cause is the staph or strep germ.

These bacteria can enter the skin through a crack so small that the person doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice it. In your nieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, the port of entry was larger and gave an opportunity for more bacteria to rush in. Once they gain entrance, the infection spreads rapidly.

The skin turns red, is warm and becomes taut from swelling.

The red line creeping up her leg was an infected lymph vessel.

Lymph vessels take

germs and other foreign debris to lymph nodes for elimination.

Lymph is the fluid part of blood that oozes out of blood vessels.

Antibiotics usually put a quick end to cellulitis. Some people, however, are so sick with a high fever that they must be hospitalized for intravenous antibiotics.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am writing again because you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer my last letter. I was born with a rare birth defect called Klinefelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome. I would like to know if, later in life, I will develop osteoarthritis because of it.

I have some arthritis now. Is it going to get worse? Does lying next to an air conditioner make arthritis worse? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; B.S. A man gets one X chromosome from his mother and one Y chromosome from his father. The XY combination determines male gender. In Klinefelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s syndrome, the male baby has an extra chromosome, an XXY configuration. Such men tend to be tall and thin. Their production of testosterone is low, but the hormone can be supplied in pill form when the boy reaches puberty. Klinefelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has nothing to do with arthritis. Lying next to an air conditioner doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worsen arthritis. The best thing you can to do stop arthritis progression is to stay on the lean side â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you have arthritis in the hips, knees or ankles.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

With a five star hotel in the background, a man walks by restored Roman pillar tombs of the ancient city of Leukaspis, a well-known Greco-Roman port overlooking the Mediterranean Sea at the costal resorts of Marina, Egypt.

The old and the new Ancient city by the sea rises amid Egypt’s resorts

BY PAUL SCHEMM ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

M

ARINA, Egypt – Today, it’s a sprawl of luxury vacation homes where Egypt’s wealthy play on the white beaches of the Mediterranean coast. But 2,000 years ago, this was a thriving Greco-Roman port city, boasting villas of merchants grown rich on the wheat and olive trade.

The ancient city, known as Leukaspis or Antiphrae, was hidden for centuries after it was nearly wiped out by a fourth century tsunami that devastated the region.

More recently, it was nearly buried under the modern resort of Marina in a development craze that turned this coast into the summer playground for Egypt’s elite.

Nearly 25 years after its discovery, Egyptian authorities are preparing to open ancient Leukaspis’ tombs, villas and city streets to visitors – a rare example of a Classical era city in a country better known for its pyramids and Pharaonic temples.

“Visitors can go to understand how people lived back then, how they built their graves, lived in villas or traded in the main agora (square),” said Ahmed Amin, the local inspector for the antiquities department. “Everyone’s heard of the resort Marina, now they will know the historic Marina.”

The history of the two Marinas is inextricably linked. When Chinese engineers began cutting into the sandy coast to build the roads for the new resort in 1986, they struck the ancient tombs and houses of a town founded in the second century B.C. About 200 acres were set aside for archaeology, while everywhere else along the coast up sprouted holiday villages

Egyptian antiquities experts walk down the stairs of an ancient royal tomb entrance. for Egyptians escaping the stifling summer heat of the interior for the Mediterranean’s cool breezes.

The ancient city yielded up its secrets in a much more gradual fashion to a team of Polish archaeologists excavating the site through the 1990s.

A portrait emerged of a prosperous port town, with up to 15,000 residents at its height, exporting grains, livestock, wine and olives to the rest of the Mediterranean.

Merchants lived in elegant two-story villas set along zigzagging streets with pillared courtyards flanked by living and prayer rooms.

Rainwater collected from roofs ran down special hollowed out pillars into channels under the floor leading to the family cisterns. Waste disappeared into a sophisticated sewer system.

Around the town center, where the two main streets intersect, was the social and economic heart of the city and there can still be found the remains of a basilica, a hall for public events that became a church after Christianity spread

across the Roman Empire.

A semicircular niche lined with benches underneath a portico provided a space for town elders to discuss business before retiring to the bathhouse across the street.

Greek columns and bright limestone walls up to six feet high stand in some places, reflecting the sun in an electric blue sky over the dark waters of the nearby sea. Visitors will also be able to climb down the steep shafts of the rock-cut tombs to the deeply buried burial chambers of the city’s necropolis.

It is from the sea from which the city gained much of its livelihood. It began as a way station in the coastal trade between Egypt and Libya to the west. Later, it began exporting goods from its surrounding farms overseas, particularly to the island of Crete, just 300 miles away – a shorter trip than that from Egypt’s main coastal city Alexandria.

And from the sea came its end. Leukaspis was largely destroyed when a massive earthquake near Crete in 365 A.D. set off a

tsunami wave that also devastated nearby Alexandria. In the ensuing centuries, tough economic times and a collapsing Roman Empire meant that most settlements along the coast disappeared.

Today, the remains of the port are lost. In the late 1990s, an artificial lagoon was built, surrounded by summer homes for top government officials.

“It was built by dynamite detonation so whatever was there I think is gone,” said Agnieszka Dobrowlska, an architect who helped excavate the ancient city with the Polish team in the 1990s.

However, Egyptian government interest in the site rose in the last few years, part of a renewed focus on developing the country’s Classical past.

In 2005, Dobrowlska returned as part of a USAID project to turn ancient Marina into an open air museum for tourists.

It couldn’t have come at a better time for ancient Marina, which had long attracted covetous glances from real estate developers.

“I am quite happy it still exists, because when I was involved there were big plans to incorporate this site in a big golf course being constructed by one of

these tycoons. Apparently the antiquities authorities didn’t allow it, so that’s quite good,” recalls Dobrowlska.

Redoing the site is part of a plan to bring more year-around tourism to what is now largely a summer destination for just Egyptians – perhaps with a mind to attracting European tourists currently flocking to beaches in nearby Tunisia during the winter.

Much still needs to be done to achieve the government’s target to open the site by mid-September, as ancient fragments of pottery still litter the ground and bones lie open in their tombs.

But if old Marina is

a success then similar transformation could happen to a massive temple of Osiris just 30 miles away, where a Dominican archaeological team is searching for the burial place of the doomed Classical lovers, Anthony and Cleopatra.

“The plan is to do the same for Taposiris Magna so that tourists can visit both,” said Khaled AboulHamd, antiquities director for the region.

These north coast ruins may also attract the attention of the visitors to the nearby El-Alamein battlefield and cemeteries for the World War II battle that Winston Churchill once called the turning point of the war.

Blind cocker spaniel senses owner’s illness D

ear Dr. Fox: I want to tell you about Candy Morse, our elderly, blind American cocker spaniel.

She usually slept on her bed alongside my side of our bed, so I could haul her up in case of thunderstorms (she felt the change in the air).

After awhile, she started sleeping on my husband’s side and stayed by his side wherever he went, even foregoing a walk around the block and slipping in and out so she could be next to my husband again.

Then my husband developed breathing difficulties and went to his doctor who ordered oxygen and referred him to a lung specialist.

The specialist treated him. I knew he was on the mend when he no longer needed oxygen and Candy resumed our evening walks.

How did Candy know my husband was ill when he didn’t know himself?

– C.A.M., Naples, Fla. Dear C.A.M.: Your letter is one that I saved, and thanks to many readers like you, I have collected several similar accounts of dogs’ and cats’ awareness of illness and pending death in one of their human companions.

Candy Morse being blind, how could she sense something was wrong with your husband?

Bodies are sensitive to sound vibrations and possibly to electromagnetic (biofield) emanations. Dogs’ noses can detect infrared and also changes in people’s body chemistry/pheromone scents, aberrations of which might cause empathetic souls like Candy to show concern.

For many accounts of amazing “empathosphere” sensitivities in our companion animals, visit my website www. twobitdog.com/DrFox/.

Dear Dr. Fox: I recently read your column concerning the case of a cat that died after he had crystals in his bladder.

The letter was from L.S. in Monroe, Conn. I want to share a possible pre-

vention for this sort of thing.

One of my male cats developed the same thing ANIMAL (probably aggravated DOCTOR by being neutered Dr. Michael at too Fox young an ■■■ age) and, on three occasions, I had to rush him to the emergency animal hospital in my area during the middle of the night because of his discomfort.

There are always different vets on call, and the last time I brought my cat in, the doctor told me her cat also had this same tendency to produce crystals. She said that she gives her cat 1⁄4 cup of liquid every day, something he really likes so he laps it up immediately (it could be chicken broth, diluted juice from a can of tuna fish, etc.).

This seemed to cure him.

I tried the same thing but my cat would not drink anything I put down for him, so I used a syringe (without the needle, of course) and force-fed him the equivalent of 1⁄4 cup of water every night. It was a nuisance because it was a total of 10 syringes full and, although he hated it, he became used to it and fairly cooperative.

Believe it or not, it did the trick. That was eight years ago, and I religiously gave the water to him every day and he never had another episode. He’s 15 now, and I stopped this routine a little over a year ago, and he is still absolutely fine.

Maybe some of your readers can benefit from this information. – K.A., Fairfield, Conn.

Dear K.A.: I appreciate your effective measures of getting more fluid into a cat suffering from urinary-tract blockage from calculi or crystals or “sand,” also compounded by plugs of mucus in many cases.

Many cats, especially those addicted to dry food, have insufficient fluid intake that can lead to bladder inflam-

Museum brings its art outdoors around Detroit DETROIT (AP) – The Detroit Institute of Arts is putting up ornately framed reproductions of some of its most significant paintings on the streets of southeast Michigan as part of a celebration of its 125th anniversary.

The life-sized digital copies look as if they’ve been pulled from the museum’s walls and will be on display through November.

“We hope people will be surprised and pleased when they see them,” museum Director Graham W.J. Beal said in a statement.

Some of the reproductions for “DIA: Inside/ Out” are on walls outside shops and restaurants, while others are on freestanding posts at parks or other outdoor locations.

Each is accompanied by an information plaque like one that would be seen at the museum.

All but two of the 40 reproductions are of paintings. One is of a tapestry and one is from a ceramic tile piece.

AIR FLIGHT RISKS FOR CERTAIN DOGS As I have warned for

decades, think twice about shipping any dog with a pushed-in-pugpeke-face by air, because they may not survive.

The U.S. Transportation Department reports that at least 122 dogs have died since May 2005, when U.S. airlines were finally required to disclose such information. Almost half of the purebred dog deaths during cargo-hold shipment

occurred in short-snout English bulldogs and Pugs. Dogs with these so called brachycephalic faces have greater difficulty than normal in body temperature regulation through panting, which can be stressed during transit and compounded by fear/anxiety and a constricting/collapsing wind pipe caused by the sucking, negative pressure of panting with

an abnormally long soft palate. Older dogs with heart and anxiety problems are also at risk.

Spools of polymer yarn are seen on the floor of the Unifi Textile plant in Yadkinville on Aug. 2.

Bucking the trend Amid remarkable turnaround, Unifi pays generous bonuses at a time when most companies are holding back MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

TRIAD — Restoring Unifi Inc. to profitability for the first time in 10 years came with a lucrative award for its top five executives.

The company said in a regulatory filing that those executives received at least a year’s salary

In a time when executive compensation is being scrutinized closely, many corporations have steered away from paying a bonus in lieu of non-equity incentive-plan compensation.

executive and president, received $635,000 in salary and a $635,000 bonus.

The bonuses were based on meeting a financial target of $40 million in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Unifi said it reached 135 percent of its bonus target, or $55.2 million, which qualified the executives for the entire bonus amount. ‘’The compensation committee believes the cash portion of the annual incentive bonus provides the necessary incentives to retain, reward and motivate the (executives) for shortterm strong company performance,” the company said in the filing.

The size of the bonuses drew mixed reactions from analysts last week.

Some said the bonuses were justified given the depth of Unifi’s financial

struggles -- it lost $422.6 million from 2000 to 2009 — and its remarkable recovery.

The executives are being rewarded for “staying with the company and following through on their plan of reorganization,” said Peter Tourtellot, the managing director of Anderson Bauman Tourtellot Vos & Co., a turnaround-management company in Greensboro.

Others criticized the awards as being outsized given the lack of shareholder value generated by the management team in recent years. ‘’They fully deserve a modest bonus in 2010 for turning things around in 2009 and terminating what looked for a time like a death spiral at the company,” said Tony Plath, a finance professor at UNC Charlotte.

However, Plath said, getting a year’s salary as a bonus is “way out of proportion relative to the accomplishments of management.”

Ron Smith, Unifi’s chief financial officer, received $325,000 in salary -- unchanged from 2009 -- and a $325,000 bonus. Roger

Berrier Jr., an executive vice president for sales, marketing and Asian operations, received

$360,000 in salary -- also unchanged -- and a $360,000 bonus.

Thomas Caudle Jr., the vice president of manufacturing, received a $19,613 raise to $279,617 in salary and a $290,000 bonus. Charles McCoy, its secretary, general counsel and chief risk officer, received $3,077 raise to $278,077 and a $295,000 bonus.

In a time when executive compensation is being scrutinized closely, many corporations have steered away from paying a bonus in lieu of nonequity incentive-plan compensation.

That compensation -- in cash -- is based on company performance and, in many instances, is tax deductible for the company.

For some executives, it has become the majority of their annual total compensation.

For example, Susan Ivey, the chairwoman, chief executive and president of Reynolds American Inc., received in 2009 $1.27 million in salary, no bonus and $2.2 million in non-equity incentive-plan compensation specifically tied to company performance.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc., which made significant progress last year in its bid to return to profitability, paid James Morgan, its top executive, $657,500 in salary, no bonus and $651,700 in non-equity incentiveplan compensation for its fiscal year 2010, which ended Jan. 31.

as their bonus for fiscal year 2010, which ended June 27.

Unifi, based in Greensboro but with its largest operations in Yadkinville, reported that it had a $10.7 million profit in 2010.

The top executives received a combined $1.9 million in bonuses.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

NEW YORK (AP) — Selling golf clothing, clubs and equipment is a $4 billion industry, and that’s in an off year. Marty Hanaka is trying to help one of the largest golf specialty retailers change that downward momentum.

He came out of retirement to serve as chairman of Golfsmith International Holdings Inc. in 2007 and became its CEO a year later.

That was just as the nation’s then $5 billion retail golf industry started shrinking as golfers skimped on big-ticket items like clubs to save money. Competitors started closing, and haven’t stopped. A top rival, Golf Galaxy, owned by Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc., just announced it is closing a dozen of its 91 stores in the next few months.

The economy is stabilizing but now the sport is dealing with another problem: its most famous player, Tiger Woods, is trying to make a comeback after shocking the golf world last year when he revealed he cheated on his wife, a blow to his pristine image.

Hanaka says the company took the downturn in stride.

Golfsmith, based in Austin, Texas, is concentrating on running its 76 stores and boosting business by increasing marketing. For instance, it promises shoppers they’ll improve their game with new custom-fit clubs, or they can trade them in for store credit.

Hanaka’s path toward the front office began when he joined Sears in 1972.

Decades later, he says he still doesn’t have all the answers, so he’s relying on his 1,500 employees to help him get Golfsmith out of the sand trap.

“You can’t just deal with the board,” he said.

“You have to deal with the people who are doing all the heavy lifting in the store ... every job is important.”

Hanaka added that “The last two years have been the most difficult I’ve ever seen in my career” retail-wise.

Hanaka’s work is golf, but he also plays recreationally, saying he first got into it through “business.”

“There’s so much business done on the golf course,” he said. “It’s a time you can really spend quality time with a few people in a fun way, and many serious conversations take place on a golf course. That got me going, being able to play and build relationships through golf.”

Q: What can the commissioners do to help with economic development and job creation?

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY — Jeff Switzer is running for the Davidson County Board of Commissioners as a Democrat. He and his wife, Linda, have four daughters and live in Reedy Creek in northwest Davidson County.

A graduate of North Davidson High School and DavidSwitzer son County Community College, Switzer has spent 25 years in the glass manufacturing industry and the last six years working at a local museum. He has been a teaching assistant at the community college and substitute teacher for Davidson County Schools.

His civic involvement includes work with the local Sierra Club and serving as an officer of the Davidson County Democratic Party, working on the Education Summit Planning Committee. He also has worked with Friends of Bridal Veil Falls and the Preservation Board of Idols Dam. He is a member of the Retreads and Southern Cruisers

A: Second question first — I don’t like offering incentives to large businesses; but until the federal government bans the practice, it must be done to be competitive with other counties and states.

I believe Davidson County has a very competent Economic Development Board working on incentive packages. They know it can’t be a giveaway, and if conditions aren’t met, companies will lose and repay benefits. We have to attract new business to the county, but I also believe we must cultivate our small businesses and our farms. When we grow in these areas, more jobs are available. Economic development and job creation hinge on education. I have talked with teachers from many counties and Davidson County should be proud of its public schools and the Community College.

Q: What revenue sources should the commissioners pursue to help with the fiscal and budgetary situation of the county?

A: It is time we elect officials that are capable

of thinking outside the box. The same old, same old won’t produce new results. If we want new revenue sources or to increase existing revenue sources, we must bring in those businesses that offer jobs in the technical, informational and green areas. This will broaden our tax bases without raising taxes outright or through re-evaluation. Voters in November should choose county commissioners who will bring new ideas and experiences to the table.

Q: If elected, what would be your top priorities?

A: Again the answer is jobs and education.

County commissioners are responsible for allocating sufficient funds for our three school systems to provide the resources needed for quality education. Quality schools attract new business and provide skilled workers for new and existing companies. We can’t afford to lose the children; they are the future and they deserve the best we can give them. Assisting our farmers and small business owners and those who want to create jobs for themselves is critical to reducing the unemployment in Davidson County.

Former educator hopes to continue her role on board ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY — Carol Burkhart Crouse is seeking her third term as a member of the Davidson County Board of Education, where she currently serves as vice-chairman.

A lifelong resident of the Central Davidson community, she attended Davis-Townsend Elementary School and graduated from Central Davidson High School. She received a bachelor’s degree in history and elementary education from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and upon graduation, began a teaching career in the Davidson County Schools at Linwood Elementary School and later taught at Southwood Elementary School. Crouse has served in many capacities at the schools her children attended and in the school district at large.

Through the years, she has volunteered for the PTO, band boosters, athletic boosters, academic boosters, classroom projects and various committees (calendar and disciplinary hearing panels).

She is past chairperson of Communities in Schools of Lexington/Davidson

County and continues to serve as a board member.

She and her husband, Blair, and we have three children and are members of Beck’s Reformed Church, where Crouse is a member of the Women’s Guild and Senior Choir.

we have a strong sense of educational family. Our strong test scores, rising graduation rate and efforts to continue to move forward are attractive to educators who are dedicated to the success of students.

Q: Public school systems traditionally were able to offset lower salaries to workers who could make more in the private sector through job security and stability. What should the school system do to help retain quality employees at a time of budgetary cutbacks and layoffs?

Q: What are the greatest needs facing Davidson County Schools?

A: Education is traditionally a very secure and stable field of employment. Our communities continue to demand quality education for their children from qualified educators, even in these challenging economic times. I am committed to keeping quality educators in our classrooms. Davidson County Schools, with board and administrative support, offers some of the best opportunities for professional and personal growth anywhere in North Carolina. It is a great place to work and grow because

A: The greatest need is employment for the parents of our students. Many of our students are doing with less in all aspects of their lives, not just the classroom. With employment opportunities, local and state tax revenues can recover and more importantly, our families can recover, so that our communities can flourish once again. Because of the teamwork of the Davidson County Schools administration, staff, the school board, community and parents, we are weathering the economy better than many of our fellow North Carolina school systems. Careful planning is helping us to meet the demands of our communities for quality education of our students.

Q: What qualifies you to serve on the school board?

A: My qualifications continue to be my strong desire for Davidson County Schools to be one of the best school systems in the state and my work ethic to keep it there. I believe all students deserve a quality education led by caring professionals. I am a lifelong learner, and I work hard to keep abreast of the latest policies and trends in education. Because I am a parent and a former teacher, I understand the concerns and challenges of parents and teachers.

School overcrowding concerns Hackett ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY — Chris Hackett is seeking a seat on the Davidson County Board of Education. A lifelong resident of Midway, he is a 1991 graduate of North Davidson High School and is retired from the Lexington Fire Department on disability after seven years of service. He is a past member of Midway Fire and Rescue and attended Davidson County Community College and Forsyth Tech for fire and rescue programs. He and his wife, Mitzee, have three children in Davidson County Schools.

Q: Public school systems traditionally were able to offset lower salaries to workers who could make more in the private sector through job security and stability. What should the school system do to help

retain quality employees at a time of budgetary cutbacks and layoffs?

A: Quality employees need to feel like their jobs are secured and feel appreciated for their hard work. Employees should be confident the board is doing everything possible to maintain jobs. Check to see if it’s feasible to offer any new benefits or other incentives.

Q: What are the greatest needs facing Davidson County Schools?

A: Hard economic times, I believe, is the largest challenge. Security at all schools, meaning maintaining SROs as possible. Overcrowding in schools and not having enough books for every student. It is a shame students have to share books. Needing to continue to build new

schools, which they are doing. The only issue I have with that, it seems they build for the needs of the present, not the future. The board needs to look further down the road, maybe build for the needs of five or more years down the road.

Q: What qualifies you to serve on the school board?

A: Past board of director for Midway Fire and Rescue. My other biggest quality is I am willing to listen to all sides of a situation. I have my own mind, meaning I know you can’t make everybody happy all the time.

Being a parent, all of my decisions will be made with what I believe is the best decision for the whole system. One other quality I have is, if I don’t understand something, I am not ashamed to ask.

rtPrize, the Grand Rapids art show and competition that surprised locals by drawing tens of thousands of visitors when it debuted in 2009, is back for a second year.

And it’s expected to be even bigger this time. The southwestern Michigan city’s vibrant arts scene will get an infusion of energy from 1,713 artists displaying their works for 19 days in 192 venues, from plazas, hotels and museums, to restaurants, coffee shops and parks.

One of the most unusual aspects of the event, which runs Sept.

22-Oct. 10, is that the public decides the top 10 winners through “American Idol”-style voting. Last year, more than 37,000 people voted on their ArtPrize favorites either online or by text message.

Artists from 21 countries and 44 states are taking part in the

“It’s designed for maximum openness in participation,” ArtPrize founder Rick DeVos said in an interview. “The extent to which people got it the first year and ran with it even further than we had imagined was amazing.”

Paul Ha, director of the Contemporary

Art Museum St. Louis, said winners of most art competitions are decided by a few professionals.

“It’s very rare to have such democracy in art, the fact that the public vote counts,” said Ha, who is scheduled to speak in ArtPrize’s lecture series. Ha did not attend last year but received a barrage of enthusiastic e-mails from artists who did participate.

Macho Duke Nukem returns after a decade in limbo THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

When Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. pulled the plug on the longin-development “Duke Nukem Forever” last year, most observers in the video-game industry thought they’d seen the last of its titular hero.

But you can’t keep a bad man down – and last weekend, the cigar-chomping, beer-swilling tough guy staggered back to life at the Seattle fan-fest Penny Arcade Expo.

Duke’s unlikely savior is Randy Pitchford, founder of “Borderlands” and “Brother in Arms” developer Gearbox Software. “I moved out to Texas 15 years ago to work on ‘Duke Nukem 3D,’ ” he says. “I owe my career to Duke.”

Pitchford was in a unique position to bring Duke back to life. After leaving “Duke Nukem” developer 3D Realms, he remained friends with its co-owners, Scott Miller and George Broussard. And the success of “Borderlands,” published by Take-Two subsidiary 2K Games, earned Pitchford the trust of the parent company. “We worked out all the drama and brought everyone together,” says Pitchford.

PAX attendees went crazy when they saw Duke on the convention floor, and Twitter was bombarded with his catchphrase, “Hail to the king!” It remains to be seen how the musclebound meathead will fare 10 years after his heyday – but we’ll find out when “Forever” finally arrives next year.

The show’s producers said last week that Shannon will take over as Marge MacDougall for a limited 11-week

run from Oct. 12 through Dec. 26.

Shannon replaces Shannon K a t i e Finneran, who last season won a Tony Award in the role.

She joins Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth in the musical comedy, which opened at the Broadway Theatre last spring.

Shannon spent six seasons as a cast member of “SNL.” She starred in the sitcom “Kath & Kim” and has been a guest star on “Glee.”

ASHINGTON (AP) – Already in distinctive company as an American president, George W. Bush seeks to join an even more select group: president and topselling author.

Since The New York Times began its weekly lists of bestsellers in 1942, only six of the 13 men who have served as the nation’s chief executive have placed a book at the top spot for nonfiction, none while president.

Two of them, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Barack Obama, did it before they were in the Oval Office.

Two others, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, did it after they had returned to private life. John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan also reached the height of the best-seller list, albeit posthumously.

Not that the other chief executives didn’t try. Richard M. Nixon wrote 12 books, nearly all of them after he resigned as president.

Harry Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald R. Ford and George H.W. Bush also turned author but never enjoyed the satisfaction that comes with a top seller.

George W. Bush’s book, “Decision Points,” is set for release this fall by Crown Publishers. It’s not an autobiography, Bush says, but

an analysis of key moments in his life.

Presidential memoirs bring prestige to their publishers and can draw healthy sales. Yet they are not known for their stylistic prose or for being particularly introspective. Self-serving to a fault, they tend to play down their authors’ flaws and failings.

“Memoirs are a running start on legacy spinning,” says Douglas Brinkley, a Rice University professor of history.

Rather than providing unique insights, memoirs can seem more aimed at protecting a reputation and bolstering fundraising for the presidential library, Brinkley says. “When you start having memoir ginned out by committee,” he says, “it loses its intimacy and authenticity.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt was president when the Times best-seller list debuted. He and Kennedy died in office, turns of fate that robbed them of an opportunity to look back at their lives and administrations.

Kennedy, though, had already won readers and a Pulitzer Prize for “Profiles in Courage,” a 1956 collection of biographical sketches about politicians who took principled if unpopular stands. The book was a bestseller, and its paperback

Yet the book didn’t lead all others until a month after his assassination.

Like Eisenhower and Kennedy, Obama wrote his best-seller, “The Audacity of Hope,” before he was president. Appearing in 2006, two years before his election, it was No. 1 for 16 weeks.

Obama will surely join George W. Bush and other ex-presidents in writing about his administration.

(Crown has signed Obama

for a post-administration nonfiction book.) He’s already revisited his childhood, writing “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” published in 1995, well before he held any elective office.

That memoir garnered scant notice until Obama became noticed himself.

Reprinted in 2007, “Dreams from My Father” has since joined “The Audacity of Hope” as a best-seller. Together, Obama’s two books account for 6.6 million copies in print.
