HIGH POINT – The Shakespeare Festival is about to make history, albeit not in a manner that’s particularly welcome. For the first time in its 33 years, the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival will offer only one play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” in its main-stage season, which will be only two weeks. It opens Saturday at the High Point Theatre. This will be the fifth time the company has produced the popular Shakespeare comedy. As AILING ARTS recently as 2007, the Shakespeare Festival staged five core producThe Shakespeare tions, some of which had small Festival and the casts and were performed in Wintough economy ston-Salem. ■■■ ■■■ Last year, it staged two, which was the norm for the four years before 2007.

Pulling out of arts council was hard decision BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The Shakespeare Festival’s June decision to sever its affiliate relationship with the High Point Area Arts Council was a difficult one, but one made to assure its financial well-being, said Pedro Silva, managing director. “We have no ax to grid with the arts council,” Silva said. “We hope and pray we’ll work diligently, as opportunities arise, with the arts council.” The North Carolina

Shakespeare Festival previously was one of six arts groups that received funds raised by the arts council primarily through its annual fund drive. In 2008, the arts council revised its policies to prohibit affiliates from soliciting funds from the city or county. “We viewed that as a limitation we simply couldn’t live with, both immediately and in the long term,” Silva said. The Shakespeare Festival has in the past requested and received direct funding from Guilford County.

The city of High Point for years has given the arts council money to be included in distributions to its affiliates. In anticipation of ending its arts council relationship, the Shakespeare Festival in April requested direct funding of $75,000 – the amount it received from the arts council the previous year – from the city, to come out of the money the city allotted to the arts council. The city granted the Shakespeare Festival $50,000 credit for rental of the city-operated High Point

Theatre, where the festival stages plays. The arts council received $50,000 less for 2009-2010. The grant to the festival is for one year, with no indication of what may be in next year’s budget. For the past several years the arts council’s allocation to the Shakespeare Festival has decreased. Silva feared that the arts council’s current fund drive, which began at the end of January and is little more than halfway to its goal of $250,000, would result in even less of an allocation.

The new arts council policy was presented to affiliates after it was adopted by the arts council board, Silva said, and the festival vigorously questioned the policy. “We believe that because a policy is in place doesn’t mean it was a good policy,” Silva said. “The festival believes there should – must – be times when the unique needs of an arts affiliate require action that may not be part of traditional modus operandi.” vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

City may buy site for new JobLink center BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A local job resource center plans to upgrade its presence in High Point in partnership with the city. The Guilford County Workforce Development Board would move its operation from Guilford Technical Community College into a 24,000-square-foot building that the city would purchase under a proposed arrangement. The site at 607 Idol St. also would house the local Employment Security Com-

mission office under the proposal. The City Council has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed acquisition of the property for Sept. 21. “I think it’s going to be a great thing for the city,” said Steve Jones, assistant director of the Workforce Development Board, which operates the JobLink career center system in the county. “The idea is to create a one-stop center that is targeted toward training and re-employment for dislocated workers or folks who have been unemployed for awhile.

We’ll try to greatly expand the services that are available.” The JobLink site has been at the High Point GTCC campus since 1997. Plans call for the new site to have four or five classrooms for skills-training programs and a large resource room for job-seekers to use. Jones said the county’s Department of Social Services could have a presence there as well. Once it’s up and running, the site, which previously housed medical offices, could house a staff that totals about 35 people. “I would love to see it open no

later than the first of the year, if possible,” Jones said. If council and the state Local Government Commission approve the arrangement, the city would buy the building and lease it to the Workforce Development Board and the ESC, according to Assistant City Manager Randy McCaslin. Under a proposed resolution authorizing the financing, the city’s cost for the purchase and renovations to the building would not exceed $2 million. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Cutting ‘Macbeth’ brings savings FROM PAGE 1

is a sign of difficult economic times with which most nonprofit groups are grappling. The decision was difficult, but at the same time obvious and intended to be proactive, said Pedro Silva, managing director. The festival isn’t in operational debt, and Silva feared two shows might result in debt that might devastate the group’s fragile budget. “It was a pre-emptive choice to protect the festival during this very, very extraordinary period of the economy,” he said. Cutting “Macbeth” translates to a savings of $80,000 in rehearsal time, design fees, materials, salaries, benefits and theater rental. Silva further reduced the year’s budget by $20,000 with an across-the-board 5 percent salary cut and lineby-line paring. Traditionally, box office income is $150,000 for two shows, but that amount dropped to $100,000 last season. Even the usually popular “A Christmas Carol” generated $180,000 in box office sales last year, compared to the expected $200,000. Silva does not see the cutback as detrimental to the festival’s image. “First, our thinking goes to the people who support us,” he said. “I have no qualms in believing our patrons will understand.” Several festival traditions will remain. “A Christmas Carol” will be performed for the holidays. Touring educational programs will remain,

South Carolina’s Gov. Mark Sanford listens as his attorney Butch Bowers talks about the actions of the Ethics Commission during a news conference Thursday at the Statehouse in Columbia.

S.C. governor finds fewer friends in fight to keep office

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Republican Gov. Mark Sanford is no stranger to going it alone – and nearly three months after calling his mistress his “soul mate,” he’s been virtually marooned. Since his unannounced, five-day visit in June with his Argentine mistress, there has been a growing chorus of state political leaders calling for him to resign. While he initially seemed on track to weather the storm, the affair, his wife’s struggles to save their marriage – and subsequent reports that call into question his use of state, private and commercial planes – are stirring up talk that the Legislature when it reconvenes in January is almost certain to vote to impeach him. Just this past week, the leaders of the state Republican Party and 61 of 72 GOP House members who will deal with impeachment called on him to resign. The party and legislators say too many distractions continue to stem from the sordid saga.

“Critical problems facing our state have been neglected, while you devote significant time and effort to defending yourself,” state party Chairwoman Karen Floyd

Sanford has apologized for the affair but contends scrutiny of his travel is coming from political foes. said in a letter to the governor. “When we badly need to focus on job creation, economic development and other reforms, your actions have led to an atmosphere that makes it impossible for you to advance our state in a positive manner.” Sanford has apologized for the affair but contends scrutiny of his travel is coming from political foes and media unfairly holding him to different standards than his prede-

cessors. He’s taken his case to the Internet, radio shows and numerous community groups and has given no indication he will leave office. “I’ve come very close to it on several occasions, but it’s not where I am now,” Sanford told members of a leadership forum Friday. “You know, God can make lemonade out of lemons. God can use imperfect people.” Early on, after the governor’s revelations about his mistress, most influential state Republicans said Sanford should be given space to focus on his marriage – and few insisted he leave office. In some quarters, there also were concerns about passing the reins to Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, who is a Republican but is elected separately and has expressed an interest in running for governor in 2010. But concerns about the political domino effect – and the fellow Republicans whom Sanford has spent the better part of two terms alienating – weren’t a factor as the GOP hashed their call for Sanford to resign.

KINSTON – A federal judge sentenced a Kinston woman to 10 years in prison this week after she pleaded guilty earlier this year to distributing methamphetamines in a Piggly Wiggly parking lot last year. Yadira Avilez-Lopez, 22, was sentenced Tuesday by Senior United States District Judge James C. Fox to 120 months’ im-

prisonment followed by five years supervised release. A federal grand jury indicted her in April and she pleaded guilty in June to possession with the intent to distribute more than 50 grams of actual methamphetamine. As part of Operation Ants to curtail the amount of meth coming into North Carolina, an undercover agent ordered a kilogram of methamphetamine from Avilez-Lopez in July 2008. She was to

meet the agent at the Piggly Wiggly in Kinston, according to information released by federal prosecutors Wednesday. Lenoir County Sheriff’s detectives arrested Avilez-Lopez shortly after she arrived at the store. During a search of her car, detectives found 438 grams of methamphetamine. The officers then executed a search warrant at her residence. During the search, detectives

and the format will incorporate a change that made last year’s tour the most successful in the festival’s history. Instead of an overview of Shakespeare plays, last year’s tour offered a 60-minute production of “Romeo and Juliet.” Teacher workshops also were adjusted to take the economy into consideration. Previously, workshops were offered during a three-day weekend. Now three workshops will be given, and each will be completed in a day, so participants won’t have to pay for lodging for two or three nights. Silva admits that this early in the season, he has no idea what to expect for next year. “The aim is for two plays next year, but whether or not that’s going to happen, I don’t have that crystal ball. If we’re not successful with ‘Dream’ and ‘Christmas Carol,’ we‘ll have to act accordingly,” he said.

Deputy cornered just before fatal shooting, DA rules WILMINGTON (AP) – A North Carolina district attorney has cleared a Brunswick County deputy in the fatal shooting of a man during a domestic violence investigation at his home. District Attorney Rex Gore told the Star-News of Wilmington that officer Bradley Hardee fired one shot after the suspect pulled off a set of Tas-

er probes and cornered him. Gore says Hardee ordered Alton Walters to stop several times, and only fired when Walters was close enough to grab the officer’s gun. Hardee was at Walters’ home Sept. 6 to respond to a domestic violence call and was trying to arrest the suspect for assault when things got out of hand.

Kathy Ratliff shakes hands with then-Gov. Mike Easley during a tour of a textile plant in High Point. Since leaving office, Easley has faced several accusations involving favorable treatment during his two-term tenure.

Easley faces new criticism after report on land deal

RALEIGH (AP) – A North Carolina groom on his way to breakfast with his groomsmen hours before his wedding has been killed after the car he was riding in was hit by another vehicle. Authorities tell WRAL-TV that 28-year-old Christopher Raynor was ejected from the vehicle Saturday when another car slammed into it after running a red light in Raleigh. Father Salvatore Busichio says he was to marry Raynor to Karen Taylor at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart Church. Busichio says he told guests about the wreck and the wedding turned into a memorial service for Raynor. Busichio says the bride also spoke, saying she will always love Raynor.

‘At the very least, this is very poor judgment for a sitting governor to engage in business deals with people seeking assistance from his administration.’ Chris Fitzsimon Director, N.C. Policy any gifts more than $200 would have to be reported on state ethics forms. A political consultant now working with Easley said the discount was not a gift and Easley was given the same offer made to anyone else

buying land in the subdivision. Ace Smith also threatened legal action, saying the closing documents the newspaper reviewed should be confidential. Several men involved in the subdivision project were Easley allies and campaign donors, including McQueen Campbell, whose name has repeatedly been listed on subpoenas that federal authorities have sent as part of a wide-ranging probe looking at Easley’s travel and his wife’s work. Campbell, who has since resigned from his position as chairman of the North Carolina State University Board of Trustees, helped Mary Easley get a job at the campus. Easley could have blunted criticism of the deal if he had said exactly what happened at the time, said Bob Hall, director of Democracy North Carolina, which tracks campaign finance. “This should have been disclosed and exposed to the light of day,” Hall said. “Then Easley could have been congratulated or condemned for having pulled off such a deal.”

RALEIGH (AP) – The latest allegations of possible favors given to former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley and his wife have government watchdogs groups disappointed, but not surprised. “There is case after case of bizarre behavior, from free country club dues to taking free air flights to free cars to a job for his wife, and now this. At the very least, this is very poor judgment for a sitting governor to engage in business deals with people seeking assistance from his administration,” Chris Fitzsimon, director of N.C. Policy Watch, told The News & Observer of Raleigh. The latest questions surrounding Easley stem from a report by the newspaper that Easley was given a 25 percent discount on property he bought in 2005 on Bogue Sound in Carteret County. The deed registered with the county doesn’t include the discount, recording the price as $549,880 and a spokeswoman said a year after the purchase that the governor paid

DEEP RUN – A building believed to be used for manufacturing crystal methamphetamine exploded early Friday morning, moving the structure on its foundation, according to investigators. A motorist driving by a residence on Mark N. Smith road reported the blast at a building behind the home at about 6 a.m. Investigators determined the materials causing the blast were used to make meth. Joseph Alphin, 39, of 4457 Mark N. Smith Road, Deep Run, was arrested at the scene. Alphin will face drug charges associated with manufacturing methamphetamines. According to Maj. Chris Hill of sheriff’s

office, the methamphetamine cooking process produces a highly volatile environment. A refrigerator in the building contained the chemicals believed to have caused the explosion. Other items needed for methamphetimine production were located in a wooded area behind the building. “We don’t believe anyone was in the building at the time of the explosion,” Hill said. “Judging by the damage, if anyone had been inside, the explosion would have killed them.” A hazardous materials team assisted in cleaning the scene. Several Lenoir County agencies also are investigating. Hill said the materials needed to manufacture methamphetamine are easily obtainable.

Israeli film on ’82 Lebanon war wins Venice prize

VENICE, Italy – “Lebanon,” an Israeli film that recounts Israel’s 1982 invasion of the Middle East country through soldiers’ eyes, won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday. The festival jury announced the Golden Lion and other prizes on the last day of the 11-day screening of films from around the world. The anti-war film, directed by Samuel Maoz, tells the story of Israeli paratroopers searching a hostile town. The conflict is seen through the binocular-aided eyes of those aboard an armored vehicle.

Flash floods hit Turkey, hundreds evacuated

ISTANBUL – Flash floods in northwestern Turkey forced the evacuation of about 200 workers at tile and brick factories by helicopter Saturday, an official said. Flood waters were receding and rescue workers were working to evacuate a small number of workers left at the factories near the town of Kumbag, Gov. Zubeyir Kemelek of Tekirdag province said. He denied earlier media reports that five workers went missing.

U.K. troubled by anti-Islam rallies, counterprotests

LONDON – Violent clashes between anti-Islam demonstrators and Muslim counter-protesters in English cities are worrying the government, with one British minister comparing the disturbances to 1930s-era fascist incitement. The violence that has hit Luton, Birmingham and London in the last few months has involved a loose collection of far-right groups – such as the previously unknown English Defense League – on one side and anti-fascist organizations and Muslim youth on the other.

Police: Bomb blast in Indian Kashmir kills 3

SRINAGAR, India – Suspected Islamic militants set off a powerful bomb blast Saturday in Indian-administered Kashmir, killing three people and wounding at least seven others, police said. The explosives were packed in a car parked near the central jail in the main city of Srinagar and detonated by remote control as a police bus drove past, said senior police official Hemant Lohia. Lohia said two policemen and a female passer-by were killed instantly, and seven wounded people were hospitalized.

Russian officials say 7 die in Caucasus violence

GROZNY, Russia – Militant attacks and gunbattles across Russia’s violence-plagued North Caucasus left seven people dead Saturday, including the second suicide bomber to strike in less than 24 hours, law enforcement and emergency officials said. The bomber blew himself up after approaching police on patrol near a school in Grozny, the capital of the war-scarred Chechnya province, said Marat Prokopenkov, a spokesman for the Emergency Situations Ministry in southern Russia. He said three police were wounded, two severely. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

A German International Security Assistance Force soldier, a member of the Quick Reaction Force, returns back from a mission outside of Kunduz, Afghanistan recently.

KABUL (AP) – About 50 civilians, security forces and militants were killed in a wave of violence around Afghanistan, including a bomb that left 14 Afghan travelers dead in one of the country’s most dangerous regions. Five American soldiers died in two attacks using roadside bombs. The attacks Friday and Saturday reached a broad swath of the country, demonstrating the spread of the Taliban insurgency, which had been largely confined to the country’s south and east in the years after the 2001 U.S. invasion. Half of those killed in the most recent attacks were civilians, who often find themselves caught in the grinding war between the Taliban and U.S. and NATO forces. Bombs caused most of the casualties – including homemade blasts in the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar and a neighboring province.

Bombs kill 4 at Baghdad shrine BAGHDAD (AP) – Two bombs exploded back to back near a Shiite shrine in central Baghdad where worshippers had gathered in prayer Saturday, killing four people and injuring 24, police and hospital officials said. The first bomb went off next to the tomb of a revered ninth century religious figure, Sheik Othman alOmari. Then a car bomb exploded in a nearby parking lot as crowds were gathering. The blasts damaged the shrine and blew out the windows of neighboring buildings. Attacks blamed on al-Qaida in

Iraqi and U.S. officials say the attacks are aimed at rekindling violence between Shiites and Sunnis. Iraq and other Sunni extremists are again targeting Shiite civilians. Violence between Shiites and Sunnis drove the country to the brink of civil war in 2006 and 2007, though it has ebbed since.

Iraqi and U.S. officials say the attacks are aimed at rekindling that violence, but so far Shiite groups have reacted with restraint. The police and hospital officials who gave details of the shrine attack and the casualty toll spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not permitted to speak to journalists. In what appeared to be another attempted sectarian attack, a bomb was found hidden inside a Quran at the Shiite Kazimiyah shrine in northern Baghdad, an Interior Ministry official said.

Moammar Gadhafi’s Baset al-Megrahi, whose return soldiers in Libya, a country to Libya last month outraged

Americans and raised questions over the nature of Britain’s relationship with Gadhafi’s authoritarian regime. Britain’s military refused to comment on the Telegraph’s report. The Foreign Office said Britain had “ongoing cooperation with Libya in the field of defense,” but refused to comment on the issue of special forces. It denied in a statement that the defense coop-

eration had anything to do with al-Megrahi’s release. Prime Minister Gordon Brown and other government officials have emphasized Libya’s remarkable transformation from rogue state to Western ally and the need to keep Gadhafi on board since he renounced terrorism and dismantled his country’s clandestine nuclear program in 2003.

Karzai holds his lead in Afghan vote

KABUL (AP) – Afghan President Hamid Karzai hung onto his 54 percent to 28 percent lead over his closest rival today in the presidential contest as the vote count ground on in the face of fraud allegations. Despite Karzai the lopsided margin, the U.N. mission warned there were “no winners” yet from last month’s election, which has come down to the incumbent and former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abduallah. Karzai’s lead could still be cut to below 50 percent, depending on the outcome of investigations by a U.N.-backed group into hundreds of fraud allegations. If that happens, Karzai will face Abdullah in a runoff. Afghanistan’s Independent Election Commission – the body overseeing the election – has now released results from 93 percent of polling stations.

Shelling in Somalia kills 15, mostly ex-soldiers MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) – Mortars slammed into Somalia’s capital, killing three civilians and at least 12 men at a home for disabled veterans, an official said Saturday. Nearly a dozen other former soldiers were wounded in the attack. Islamic insurgents fired mortars Friday night toward Mogadishu’s port but the explosives landed in residential areas. One of the buildings hit was a residence for former army officers paralyzed or missing limbs from the country’s 1977 war with Ethiopia, said government spokesman Shiek Abdirisaq Qeylow, who gave the death and injured toll. Mohamed Abdi, 50, had moved to the army home after a bullet paralyzed him in 1977.

Pakistani troops kill 22 militants in northwest ISLAMABAD (AP) – Hundreds of tribal police in the northwestern Khyber region have quit their jobs because of militant threats, even as Pakistani forces reported killing 22 insurgents in an ongoing military operation there, officials said Saturday. Pakistan is under intense U.S. pressure to crack down on al-Qaida and Taliban militants along the Afghan border. Khyber is of particular concern because militants there frequently attack trucks carrying supplies destined for U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Pakistan began its latest offensive in the Khyber tribal region on Sept. 1 and says it has killed over 150 militants. The fighting has caused thousands of residents to flee. Paramilitary troops Saturday destroyed three militant hide-outs and killed 22 insurgents, the Frontier Corps said in AP a brief statement. It is A displaced Pakistani woman sits with her child as they wait for transport to return impossible to verify accounts of fighting there home to the Swat Valley area, in Karachi, Pakistan, Saturday.

JERUSALEM (AP) – Israeli President Shimon Peres was rushed to a hospital Saturday night after he fainted on stage while speaking at an event in Tel Aviv. Peres passed out while answering questions from the

Quake rattles Venezuela’s capital CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) – An earthquake rattled Venezuela’s capital Saturday, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The U.S. Geological Survey reported a preliminary magnitude of

ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) – Police have found the bodies of five men dumped in a landfill near the Mexican resort city of Acapulco. The Guerrero state Public Safety Department says the men had been shot to death and police officers found a note with the bodies signed “The boss of bosses.” A statement issued Saturday by the department says investigators also found at least 50 bullet casings and duct tape at the scene.

But media reports have suggested that the prisoner exchange agreement that paved the way for al-Megrahi’s release was motivated in part by a desire to secure access to Libya’s vast energy reserves. British Justice Secretary Jack Straw seemed to endorse that claim when he told the Telegraph last week that trade played “a very big part” in the negotiations over the prisoner deal.

Suspect falls asleep, hostages escape home

PATERSON, N.J. – Authorities say a New Jersey teenager threatened to rape and kill his teacher if she did not give his entire class an “A++” for the last school year. Authorities say the 14-year-old boy made the threats in an e-mail sent in May. He has been identified only as a student at the Paterson Charter School for Science and Technology. He is also accused of threatening to rape the teacher’s mother and sister if the grades were not changed within 48 hours. The boy turned himself in to Passaic County authorities Friday.

Massachusetts’ Brown to run for U.S. Senate

BOSTON – Republican state Sen. Scott Brown says he’s running for the late Edward Kennedy’s Senate seat in Massachusetts. In remarks prepared Brown for delivery Saturday, Brown says the state needs an independent thinker in Washington, noting its all-Democratic Congressional delegation. He says he respected Kennedy’s passion but added the seat doesn’t belong to any political party. The 50-year-old Brown is serving his third Senate term after three terms in the state House.

MIAMI – Forecasters say Fred has weakened from a tropical depression to a remnant in the middle of the Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center in Miami says Fred’s maximum sustained winds had dropped to near 35 mph. The storm was moving north at about 1 mph. Forecasters expect the storm that was once a hurricane to weaken and dissipate in the next couple of days. Fred is centered about 650 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Thousands of protesters blast president in Washington WASHINGTON (AP) – Tens of thousands of protesters fed up with government spending marched to the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, showing their disdain for the president’s health care plan with slogans such as “Obamacare makes me sick” and “I’m not your ATM.” The line of protesters clogged several blocks near capitol, according to the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. Demonstrators chanted “enough,

enough” and “We the People.” Others yelled “You lie, you lie!” and “Pelosi has to go,” referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DCalif. Other signs – reflecting the growing intensity of the health care debate – depicted President Barack Obama with the signature mustache of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. Many made reference to Obama as a socialist or communist, and another imposed his face on that

of the villainous Joker from “Batman.” Richard Brigle, 57, a Vietnam War veteran and former Teamster, came from Paw Paw, Mich. He said health care needs to be reformed – but not according to Obama’s plan. “My grandkids are going to be paying for this. It’s going to cost too much money that we don’t have,” he said while marching, bracing himself with a wooden cane as he walked.

White House wants talks to focus on Iran’s nukes MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The White House said Saturday that international talks with Iran should focus on the country’s nuclear program, a topic Tehran had ruled off limits until its foreign minister opened the door.

“We’re not talking for talking’s sake,” presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs said. “This may not have been a topic they wanted to be brought up, but I can assure you it’s a topic that we’ll bring up.”

“The Iranians have a responsibility to the international community to walk away from their illicit nuclear weapons program,” Gibbs added. “That’s what the focus from our side will be in these talks, and that’s our goal.”

Police: Teen threatened teacher to get ’A++’

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – President Barack Obama assailed critics of his health care initiative Saturday, seeking to grab the megaphone from his opponents and boost moObama mentum in his drive for congressional passage of his chief domestic priority. “I will not accept the status quo. Not this time. Not now,” the president told an estimated 15,000 people during a rally that had every feel of a campaign event, right down to chants of “Fired up, ready to go!” and “Yes, we can!” Days after urging Democrats and Republicans in Congress to come together, an invigorated Obama said his plan incorporates ideas from those on both sides and he promised to continue to seek common ground. “If you come to me with a serious set of proposals, I will be there to listen. My door is always open,” he said. But he warned that he wouldn’t waste time with people who have decided “that it’s better politics to kill this plan than improve it.”

Jerry Stanley said Saturday authorities then stormed the house. The suspect was shot, but his injuries were not lifethreatening. Authorities say Jesse Dennis Dimmick led them on a car chase Saturday that ended in Dover where he fled from his car, went into the couple’s home and held them captive for hours. Authorities have been looking for Dimmick because he’s wanted in connection with a homicide in Aurora, Colo.

OWOSSO, Mich.

The man charged with the killings, meanwhile, was taken from jail to a hospital to undergo surgery for a self-inflicted wound to his arm, according to a county prosecutor. James Howe of Owosso said his family was upset after police told him he was an intended target of the Friday shooting spree. He hesitated when asked how he was dealing with allegations.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – A unique series of Andy Warhol pieces – portraits of Muhammad Ali, Jack Nicklaus, Pele, Dorothy Hamill and other athletic superstars – has been stolen from a collector’s home. Los Angeles police said Friday the collection of 10 silk screen paintings of famous athletes of the 1970s was taken from the home of businessman Richard Weisman sometime between Sept. 2 and 3. Weisman commissioned the iconic pop artist in 1977 to create the portraits, said Brenda Klippel, the director of Martin Lawrence Galleries in Los Angeles, which has a large collection of Warhols. A commissioned portrait of Weisman was also stolen, said Detective Mark Sommer of the Los Angeles Police Department’s art theft detail. A $1 million reward was offered for information leading to the return of the paintings. “This was a very clean crime,” Sommer said. “(The home) wasn’t ransacked.” Art recovery expert Robert Wittman says most rewards are offered for about 10 percent of a stolen collection’s value.

Jay-Z more than a rockstar at 9/11 concert NEW YORK (AP) – Since the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11, many people have helped rebuild New York City in different ways. Rapper Jay-Z did it his own way: headlining a star-studded concert at Madison Square Garden. The 39-year-old Brooklyn native performed to a sold-out crowd Friday night for his “Answer to Call” concert, which paid tribute to the police officers and firefighters who died responding to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The Pledge of Allegiance kicked off the show, followed by “The Star-Spangled Banner” infused with an electric guitar. Jay-Z continued with his own New York anthems – including “Empire State of Mind”; “Where I’m From,” a song about his upbringing in the Marcy housing projects complex; and “Brooklyn Go Hard,” a collaboration with alternative singer Santigold. The rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, went on to perform over 30 songs from his 11 albums during the two-hour set. The concert aired on Fuse TV, and all proceeds will be donated to the New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund.

Thomasville puts residency policy on back burner BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – No immediate changes to Thomasville’s policy on requiring department heads to live in the Chair City will be implemented until a new city manager lives within the city limits, officials said this week. Martha Hancock, Thomasville’s personnel director, said Friday that she presented information to the city’s personnel/finance committee concerning other municipalities requirements for residency. According to Hancock, the committee agreed this week to wait on

changing the city’s residency policy for department heads until the current or a new city manager lives in Thomasville. As a result of City Manager Craver hiring Salisbury resident Jeff Insley as the new Thomasville Police Department chief, some City Council members decided to take a look at Thomasville’s policy on residency requirements. Currently, Thomasville doesn’t require its employees, including department heads and the city manager, to live in the city. All of the city’s 13 department heads and Craver live outside the city limits.

“I think the consensus was that unless the city manager lived in the city limits, it would be kind of wrong to ask the other department heads to live in the city limits until we get the city manager,” said Councilman David Yemm, who attended the personnel/finance committee meeting. “We would start from the top and work our way down.” When the City Council comes forward with naming a new city manager when Craver “decides to move on,” the governing body may decide on requiring the city’s top employee to live in Thomas-

ville, Yemm said. “Over the years, I have heard people say departments heads ought to live in Thomasville – especially, the city manager,” Yemm said. “There are pros and cons on both of it. You’ve got people who are making decisions on how the city taxpayers’ money is being spent, but they don’t contribute to it. On the other hand, department heads can make an “unbiased” decision with not lot living in the city, Yemm said. The councilman also said he would like to have the most qualified candidate for the job, and not just from the

city’s “small pool of 27,000 people.” Hancock said she obtained information from 12 other municipalities requirements for residency. According to Hancock, the city managers for Kernersville, Lexington, High Point, Chapel Hill, Salisbury and Concord must live in the city. However, some of the policies are not being enforced in those municipalities, she said. Councilman Scott Styers said last month that he hopes Craver is the city manager for a long time. Craver could not reached for comment Friday. dignasiak@hpe.com 888-3657

port Beach police Sgt. Doug Jones. The cause of death was not immediately available, Esslinger said. An autopsy was scheduled for today. Pang pleaded not guilty in July to federal charges of evading currency reporting laws. The case had been set to go to trial next week, but was delayed until next August. Pang, a Taiwanese immigrant, is accused of bilking investors in his $4 billion firm by falsely portraying returns as coming from investments in timeshare real estate and life insurance policies of seniors. Prosecutors

said he in fact he ran a Ponzi scheme, using money raised from newer investors to pay earlier ones. Pang’s companies, Private Equity Management Group Inc. and Private Equity Management Group LLC, are based in Irvine, Calif. “Danny was a wonderful husband, loving father, and honest businessman,” Pang’s family said in a statement released through spokesman Charles Sipkins. “It is distressing that Danny had to endure such a mean-spirited assault on his character without ever having a chance to defend himself.”

France mourns loss of pioneer of photography PARIS (AP) — Willy Ronis, the last of France’s postwar greats of photography who captured the essence of Paris in black and white scenes of everyday life, died Saturday. He was 99. Ronis died at a Paris hospital where he had been admitted days earlier, said Stephane Ledoux, the president of the Eyedea photo agency. Lovers, nudes and scenes from Paris streets were the mainstay of Ronis’ photographs, which reflect the socalled humanist school of photography in an awardwinning career that began in the 1930s and reaped honors for him in France and abroad. In a wheelchair and on dialysis for some time, the mustachioed Ronis nevertheless managed to address the crowd at the annual Arles photographic exhibition in July, where he was honored. “We have lost the last of the great men,” said Stephane Ledoux, head of the Eyedea agency, which took over the Rapho Agency that for decades handled Ronis’ photographs. Ronis, along with friend Robert Doisneau and photojournalist Henri Cartier-Bresson, were among France’s great photographers who emerged after World War II. The three along with two other photographers were honored as early as 1953 by the

Marines’ game has deadly consequences

RALEIGH (AP) – Lance Cpl. Patrick Malone was relaxing on his bunk at an Iraqi combat base when a direct superior interrupted his late-night movie. It was time for a game Marines sometimes play to build confidence in colleagues: Point a gun at a comrade and ask, “Do you trust me?” Cpl. Mathew Nelson raised his weapon – and the 9 mm pistol went off, the bullet striking Malone in the head. The higherranking Marine rushed to the wounded man’s side and tried to perform CPR, but Malone was mortally wounded. The game, which has cropped up in barracks across Iraq and Afghanistan, is supposed to make a serviceman feel comfortable enough with a comrade that he would stare into the other Marine’s gun barrel. But it violates the military’s basic weaponsafety rules. “I can’t believe the Marines, these professional soldiers, are playing these games,” said Damian Malone, father of the slain 21year-old. The younger Malone “was willing to put his life on the line every day, and when he came back to his unit he wasn’t supposed to have to worry about his safety.” On Thursday, Nelson pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and seven counts of reckless endangerment for the shooting at

Perdue tries to boost state employees

GREENSBORO (AP) – North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue said Saturday that she knows state employees have been forced to do more with less but reassured them things are getting better. “There are rays of hope ahead for our economy, but we have a mountain of challenges right in front of us,” she said in remarks prepared for the annual meeting of the State Employees Association in Greensboro. North Carolina had a $4.7 billion budget shortfall this year, the largest in the state’s history, Perdue said. “It doesn’t matter where you work – in our prisons, hospitals or state agencies – you see that we’re forced to cut back, to do more with less, because of a recession we inherited,” she said. Perdue said she is working with the state personnel director to improve benefits for state employees, including adding $10,000 of accidental death benefits at no cost and a hands-on wellness program.

Farm tour cancels chicken slaughter MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Cpl. Matthew Nelson (left) walks to court with his attorney Vaughn Taylor early Thursday morning at Camp Lejeune. Nelson pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced Friday to eight years in the brig. Combat Outpost Viking in Anbar province just before midnight on March 9. Nelson, 25, of Dearborn Heights, Mich., was sentenced Thursday to eight years in Camp Lejeune’s brig, demoted to the lowest rank in the Marines and given a bad-conduct discharge. “From the beginning, my client has been eaten up with remorse,” said Vaughan Taylor, a civilian lawyer who represented Nelson.

Taylor said the two Marines had finished the trust game, and Nelson turned away. His subordinate, from Ocala, Fla., called out to tell him he was going to attend to the unit’s vehicles outside. The corporal turned back, pulling the trigger on the weapon he didn’t know was loaded, Taylor said. The game typically begins when one service member partially inserts a bullet magazine into the handle of a pistol and pretends to pull

back the gun’s slide to make it appear that the weapon is ready to fire. He then points the weapon at a fellow service member before either pulling the trigger or lowering the gun. Typically, even if he pulls the trigger the weapon will not discharge because a bullet is not in the chamber. “When you give high-powered weapons to young men, once in a while bad things are going to happen,” said Gary Solis, a retired Marine

lieutenant colonel and attorney who teaches on the law of armed conflict at West Point and Georgetown. The Marine Corps Times reported this week that the game had similar deadly end in 2007, when a Kentucky Army National Guardsman shot and killed a fellow soldier. The guardsman who fired the fatal shot later said he learned to play from other members of his unit while deployed to Iraq in 2006.

CARRBORO – Organizers of an Urban Farm Tour today in Orange County have canceled a public chicken slaughter after a complaint to Town Hall. The annual tour demonstrates small-scale agriculture at about a dozen sites in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Planned workshops included honey harvesting, lasagna bed gardening, and a slaughter of chickens for a community “stone soup” at the end of the event. Last year, 300 people attended the tour. But news that chickens would be killed at this year’s event upset resident Gina Burns. She wrote to town officials saying the chicken killing was inappropriate for a private lot and could lead to the slaughter of other animals kept for food. Sammy Slade of Carrboro Greenspace, the group organizing the tour, said the dustup shows the group needs to do more education before inviting people to watch how chickens are slaughtered. “We didn’t anticipate the controversy it would cause.”

Picnic helps fund safety net for mentally ill I

t was a beautiful late summer evening. The earlier threat of rain lifted almost miraculously. The aromatic smoke of cooking pork permeated the neighborhood surrounding the home of Brett and Christi Barbour. The recipe had been perfected on the first try. The “recipe” that I am referring to is the recipe for the perfect fundraiser. The “chefs” who cooked up the idea for ABOUT the Yellow TOWN Bandana Mary Fundraiser Bogest was the Mental Health Association in High Point (MHAHP). Now that I have whetted your appetite for the event, I’ll tell you all about it. I think you will get that “wish I was there” feeling. Co-chairwomen of the first-ever event, Linda Walser and Susan Allred, already are talking about next year. It is difficult to come up with a new fundraiser, one that will be “fun” and one that will raise “funds,” but that is exactly what this event did. The answer to the question, “Will they come?” was a resounding “yes.” I knew that I was approaching the Barbour home by the many cars that already lined the streets in their neighborhood. Fortunately, Eddie Myers chauffeured the “shuttle van,” so no one had to walk too far. The expansive yard at the Barbour home was transposed into the “great American picnic” with entertainment and delicious barbecue. I followed the trail of the aroma around the tents, behind the entertainment until I got to the source of the pork fragrance that filled the air. There I met board member Michael Beaver, who rightfully has the reputation as a “famous master chef.” While he didn’t divulge

Linda Walser and Susan Allred served as co-chairwomen of the first Yellow Bandanna Fundraiser. the High Point community for all of their support.” In spite of these times, it is interesting that the Mental Association in High Point is in the process of expanding their services to out-patient services providing individual therapy. This will happen in the next 90 days. They also will have more involvement in the Mental Health Court. I didn’t even know that there was a Mental Health Court, did you? It is a relatively new court preside over by Judge Tom Jarrell. The mission is to work as a team to get those offenders who have mental problems the appropriate services so that they don’t come back into the criminal justice system. Carri Munns, program coordinator for the court, lent her support to the Yellow Bandana Fundraiser and enjoyed the barbecue. Next, I spotted co-chairmen Walser and Allred. By the way, the host Brett is the son of Allred. Walser and Allred work so well

together that I am not sure who to credit the following quotes. They told me, “One of the things that we do that is so important is to get a hold of clients before they end up in the emergency room or more costly levels of care.” The tents quickly filled with supporters such as Plato and Dixie Wilson, Joe and Diane Lorber (they are so dedicated to our community), board member Elizabeth Allen, the neurologists duo of Jim Caress and his wife Leanne Willis. It was great to see such a divergence of ages and Walser and Allred attribute that to the many, “young board members who have pumped new energy and ideas into the Mental Health Association.” Thankfully, throughout High Point, I am seeing the younger generation stepping up in community involvement. This is a very welcomed and wonderful trend. While I am telling you about this event, I should mention the Market Sam-

ple Store of the MHAHP, which sells upscale home accessories at really affordable prices. There are hundreds of items that come direct from showrooms in the area with the newest styles. New items arrive weekly not just after the High Point Market. The address is 910 Mill Ave., and the hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. Like many other organizations, MHAHP is facing financial challenges. Cochran told me that help for many mentally ill people is now in jeopardy. “The care that we provide for our clients each day will not be available without funding from in-

dividual caring citizens of the community,” Cochran said. “The MHAHP provides care whether people can pay or not. We are vital to High Point.” One of the mottos of MHAHP is “everybody needs help sometime so don’t be afraid to ask.” Given the fact that mental illness strikes 1 in 5 people it is certain that each of us knows someone who needs help. So if you need help or want to help, call 883-7480. Meanwhile, I will look forward to the next Yellow Bandana Fundraiser.

the secret ingredients of his special sauce (a nice zing in it!), he did share some of his barbecue tips. The first was what I will just call “timing.” Beaver and fellow board member and host Brett Barbour started the coals at 5:30 in the morning for the several grills that were used to prepare the pork shoulder. It is important to the pork flavor that charcoal is used instead of gas. He wrapped the shoulder in tin foil, which made the end product both tasty and very, very moist. I can attest to this since I ate it right off the grill. I then headed back toward the tent and immediately saw Ellen Cochran, executive director of the Mental Health Association in High Point. I know she was happy with the wonderful turnout. Her organization does a wonderful job in High Point. Who are her clients? I will share with you what she told me, “It could be your neighbor who has three active boys and a husband who works long hours. Some days she can hardly function, and other days, she is in a whirlwind of activity. It could be your nephew who started floundering in college after hearing voices, isolating himself from family and friends. It could be your friend who attempted suicide after becoming so depressed when life’s burdens became too much to bear. The mentally ill are not in institutions. They live next door. They are our neighbors, friends, family members.” This really gave me something to think about. It is not surprising to hear that in these economic times the needs are growing, “Because of change on the state level, the burden of serving the mentally ill is more on the local level. Communities are having greater demands. We are serving a greater number of people who have more problems with fewer resources.” As she was telling me this, she stopped, thought and said, “I just want to extend a personal thank you to

Breakaway Episcopalians look to Supreme Court the national church after the 2003 consecration of the first openly gay Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire. “It’s not just about the building, it’s about the church,” said Kear, 70, who participates in group prayers for the property even while she says the congregation could continue without it. The congregation may have to do just that. State courts have sided with the Los Angeles diocese throughout the five-year legal case, most recently in January. St. James has filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court in hopes that it might take up what has so far been a losing battle. St. James expects to know next month whether the nation’s highest court will take the case. Two other seceding parishes – All Saints Church in Long Beach and St. David’s Church in North Hollywood – are parties in the lawsuit.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) – Marcia Kear’s three daughters were married at St. James Anglican Church. Her mother’s funeral was there. She said she found the Holy Spirit there. But she may have to give up the bayside sanctuary, where sunlight filters through watery blue stained-glass windows and glints off the flawless copper pipes of an organ purchased with parishioners’ tithes.

Why do CEOs get bonuses for company failures?

Recently I wrote a letter to President Obama, and I sent a copy to you as well. It was not published in the Enterprise. I was complaining about the stimulus package giving the CEOs millions of dollars in bonuses and the people on Social Security are not getting a raise for the next two years. Also, our money will be less, because we will have an increase to pay for our Medicare premiums. I was hoping to bring awareness to the people and try to get them to write the president, senators and congressmen and complain about these matters. The poor people need a voice about these injustices. These CEOs make millions of dollars in the first place. Why do they need bonuses to exceed a million dollars or more? Are they hungry, cold, naked, homeless, sick etc? The nation wants to support the rich and deprive the poor. Our children and grandchildren will owe this money back to the government. Guess who will pay it? The poor, of course. By then the government will find a way to bless the rich again and raise taxes on the poor again. With all of the stimulus packages, what jobs have been created? My husband lost his job over 2½ years ago. He still doesn’t have one. I am on disability trying to support both of us. Because of his age (58) and ability to learn a new job, it is doubtful he will find one. I get Medicare because I am disabled, not because I am lazy. Not all people are trying to get a free

President Obama apparently has been listening to the masses on the health care reform issue. “I will continue to seek common ground in the weeks ahead,” he told members of Congress Wednesday night during a joint session of the House and Senate. “If you come to me with a serious set of proposals, I will be there to listen. My door is always open.” Let’s hope he does as he says, and let’s hope the rest of crowd – Democrats, Republicans and independents alike – plays by that rule, too. Anyone serious about protecting those of us with insurance from unfair actions of insurance companies and helping those of us who do not have insurance (they say 47 million) will seek that common ground. That’s because proposing reasonable reforms that address problems and putting them into a bill crafted with a healthy dose of common sense is the remedy for what ails us. Reform legislation should include ways for those turned away by private insurers to obtain good insurance at a reasonable cost. Which way is better to do that, a public option or a national coop? We prefer a national co-op, but if a public option favored by many liberal Democrats is approved, its governance should be incorporated into an existing federal program such as Medicare and not create an entirely new bureaucracy. Other issues such as portability and malpractice insurance costs caps also must be addressed. But the most important issue right now is for the partisan political grandstanding to end and the search for common ground – and common sense – to begin. Maybe the president’s speech gets us headed that way.

OUR MISSION

The High Point Enterprise is committed to this community ... and always will serve it by being an intensely local newspaper of excellent quality every day.

Liberals have finally come right out and openly stated what true Americans are fighting. They may camouflage their rhetoric with comments like, “They (conservatives) addressed the matter (health care) as non-important,” which is a blatant lie. Conservatives say that health care desperately needs to be overhauled, but not in such a covert bill with hidden, political, power agendas as we see being put forth by the Barack Hussein Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid group. Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist and former Obama czar, has now resigned due to pressure from Americans concerned for their country. Hurray for Americans! In recent years we have al-

lowed Congress to fund numerous federal agencies – most of which are unconstitutional. They are unconstitutional because they exceed the power delegated to the executive branch by the people. They are also unconstitutional because the people have no power to recall administrative agency personnel by their vote. Let me go on record to all elected state and federal officials, please know my name! I am watching what they do and how they vote! I make a pledge that I will do my best to organize communities to vote them out of office when they next run for re-election if they do not listen to their constituents. I have begun my list with those in office who have not taken phone calls or allowed town hall meetings for this health care bill. I have heard some of them (state Rep. Pricey Harrison) stand at a microphone and endorse HR 3200 with all its imperfections. I am watching and so are other constituents! CATHY BREWER HINSON High Point

There are reasons why there’s no development downtown

t’s amazing, given the number of times The High Point Enterprise has quoted thosewho-know and has stated the case about “downtown” in editorials, many of you still don’t get it. The 1930s, ’40s, ’50s and ’60s versions of downtown High Point are gone! Regardless of how much you yearn for “the good old days downtown,” they won’t be back. Downtown High Point changed forever once businesses that had been mainstays began and maintained the exodus to shopping centers (College Village, Westchester Mall, Oak Hollow Mall), or worse, going out of business. As storefront businesses, particularly along Main Street from the tracks south to Green, moved out and what, for a decade or two, became the Magic Block (High to Commerce between Wrenn and Hamilton) lost its potency, developers and companies seeking showroom space in the heart of what then was an expanding High Point Market district moved in. And what then was called the Southern Furniture Exposition Center (now International Home Furnishings Center) expanded across Wrenn Street, slowly but surely encompassing the entire block with what is now a 12-story high four-buildings-inone complex. There was a substantial market district growth spurt to a total of some 6 million square feet of showroom space for market from the 1970s to the late 1980s as what had been the Western (with some 500 exhibitors in the Hickory area) and High Point markets were combined, and the Market Square and Hamilton Wrenn Design District complexes were developed. Then, in the 1990s and the first couple of years of the 21st century, the High Point Market experienced another growth spurt, with total showroom space in 180 buildings in downtown High Point reaching nearly 12 million square feet. It’s easy for some, perhaps many, of you to complain that “there’s nothing downtown” except the market district and to express the desire for restaurants, specialty shops, bars and dance clubs in downtown High Point as Greensboro and Winston-Salem have accomplished or are in the process of doing so. But disparaging remarks and wishful thinking won’t get the job done. As Aaron Clinard, current chairman of Core City and chairman of the Downtown Improvement Committee over the last decade, will be quick to tell you if you ask, doing even a little to transform even part of the central downtown area (between English Road and Grimes Avenue and Lindsay and Centennial streets)

without lots of financing is nearly impossible. Because of the success of the High Point Market, the world’s largest and most prestigious trade show of its kind, property in that district is simply too high priced for development for other uses. That’s why part OPINION of the Core City Plan is designating market district boundaries Tom so that real estate on market’s Blount fringes will have more moderate, ■■■ even reasonable prices. And the Core City Plan has been designed for various neighborhood residents, developers and business people to take advantage of the opportunities. Greensboro and Winston-Salem were able to begin remaking their downtowns because there wasn’t much business left in the areas now being redeveloped. High Point, for some 100 years, has had furniture showrooms in its downtown area. In addition to a financial impact of $1.1 billion annually, market has been the catalyst for many amenities (safety services and equipment, solid infrastructure, state-of-the-art technology and communications, numerous company headquarters located here, etc.) our city has that other cities its size and larger only can dream about. The Core City Plan was developed after High Point’s “downtown business district” had moved about 30 blocks north to the first 10 or 12 blocks of Eastchester Drive. It has identified eight areas of the city in which development and redevelopment can transform them into mixed use, village-style neighborhoods. To be successful, folks in the various neighborhoods designated by Core City are going to have to “buy in” along with developers and commercial and, in some cases, industrial businesses. City government can be a catalyst in the process but can’t be expected to foot much of the bill except for infrastructure. And, yes, the Core City Plan will have to address portions of south High Point just as it currently is focusing on Uptowne – from Ray Avenue to State Street and at least a block to the east and west of N. Main Street. So, instead of lamenting the loss of such opportunities in the center city, invest – with much more than lip service – in a wide variety of ways to help, really help, with Core City endeavors. That way, you’ll be part of the solution instead of the problem.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2009 www.hpe.com

War on Terror still matters

t’s now been eight years without a major terrorist attack in America. It’s not because the terrorists have been defeated, nor is it because they’ve given up. Muslims in many countries are still being taught to hate America, and Muslim extremists are still planning attacks against us. Eight years without another attack is a significant accomplishment. It didn’t just happen that way. It happened because the Bush administration chose to fight a war on terror. There were many patriots in the Bush administration whose actions kept America safe after 9/11, but most notably of late is former VicePresident Dick Cheney. I applaud Cheney’s attempt at preventing the Obama administration from reversing the policies that have kept America safe. Unfortunately, Cheney won’t succeed, at least not while liberals control our government. Yet he should still be commended for raising awareness on issues that the Obama administration would love OPINION to sweep under the rug. Mike The economy and Hughes the contrived health ■■■ care crisis dominate the headlines today, but the War on Terror, including Iraq and the war in Afghanistan, should still be at the top of our concerns. Cheney is correct in pointing out the danger in the policies and actions now being taken by the Obama administration. What will liberals say if there’s another terrorist attack now, or a year from now? Will they admit that Cheney was right? Of course not! Liberals will ignore the facts and blame the conservatives, as they always do. But facts do matter, and some interesting facts have come out recently. It is a fact that high-value terrorists, such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, provided no useful information until enhanced interrogation techniques were used. It is also a fact that information obtained through the use of techniques such as waterboarding led to the prevention of many planned terrorist attacks. How many lives were saved? Hundreds? Thousands? We’ll never know. Looking at it another way, how many lives would’ve been lost if EITs were not used? President Obama recently asked, “Could we have gotten that same information without resorting to those techniques?” Based on the intelligence reports that were recently released, the answer is clearly no. Many Muslim extremists were taught as children to hate America. They’ve been trained to resist harsh interrogation. (Liberals have supported this training by leaking details of our techniques.) Their hatred runs so deep that killing thousands of innocent men, women and children is justified in their minds. On our side, interrogators have been professionally trained to gather information. Liberals would have you believe that terrorists can send these professionals off on a wild-goose chase at the drop of a hat. Of course terrorists will lie to the interrogators. The terrorists have to be shown that their lies won’t work. There has to be a stick and a carrot. The Obama administration is taking away the stick – and the terrorists know it. Someday, the Obama administration will have a potential terrorist in custody. What will Obama do if this person doesn’t cooperate? Will the Obama administration stick to their misguided principles and needlessly place thousands of American lives at risk? Misguided principles? Yes: EITs are not torture!

Envision great future and work toward it

on Hewett, the creator and producer of the highly rated TV show 60 Minutes, was asked the secret to the overwhelming popularity of the program. Without pause Hewett said he could explain it in four words: “Tell them a story.” People love stories. They help us remember our history, important facts and people, even explain complicated issues. North Carolina has a proud story. Our state wasn’t settled by many “landed gentry;” we were mostly lower- and middle-class people searching for freedom and a better life. Independent by nature, we were among the first to declare freedom from excessive taxes and abusive power. We refused to ratify a federal Constitution until a Bill of Rights was added to guarantee our freedoms. Slavery was not a burning issue and most didn’t want to leave the Union, but had little choice when the federal government demanded we take up arms against our neighbors. North Carolina sacri-

ficed more men than any in that war between states. Reconstruction, frequent economic downturns and lackluster leadMY SPIN ership earned us the reputaTom tion as “The Rip Campbell Van Winkle” ■■■ state. But we transformed into “The Dixie Dynamo” under leaders like O. Max Gardner, W. Kerr Scott, Terry Sanford and Jim Hunt, all leaders who had vision and inspired us to be better than we were. Following World War II, the story of the second half of the 20th century is largely marked by progressive leadership, an expanding and improving economy, rapid population growth and progress. But as we moved into the 21st century we have witnessed our manufacturing economy changing to one based on services, frequent

government corruption scandals, overheated growth, public infrastructure that hasn’t kept pace with that growth and public sector stagnation. The domination by one political party has resulted in few new bold initiatives, an inability or unwillingness to find solutions to big problems, a high degree of partisanship and a certain arrogance. Our present story is neither happy nor proud. Abraham Lincoln, in referring to the wartime problems of this nation, summed up our present circumstance. “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.” North Carolina faces many problems. To overcome them successfully, we must look ahead 10 to 20 years and get a consensus to answers about what outcomes we want in education, health, transportation, business, government

and in other sectors. This process need not require large committees devoting endless hours grinding out lengthy reports that will sit on shelves collecting dust. But just as it is foolish to hop in a car and strike out with no destination in mind, so it is also foolish for our state to wander aimlessly without purpose into the future. We need big dreams, challenges to meet, visions to make into realities. Our future story requires leaders who can articulate the vision, telling us what we must do to reach the goals. Sometimes they might be cheerleaders, at other times exhorting us to do better. We will follow sound leadership if shown the direction. It is time for leadership to surface to help write our future story.

Public option Government-run health insurance would erase the profit motive

ederal prosecutors ordered the world’s largest drug company, Pfizer Inc., to pay a record $2.3 billion in fines for illegal drug promotions. The company misrepresented the uses of drugs beyond what was approved by the FDA. For instance, the painkiller Bextra was approved for relieving arthritis, and Pfizer said that OPINION it alleviated surgical pain. Kristine Allegations Kaiser surround the ■■■ marketing of 13 drugs including bestselling Viagra, Zoloft and Lipitor. Pfizer also invited doctors to consultant meetings at expensive resort locations, paying for golf and massages. Sadly, the renegade drug company is a repeat offender; this is the government’s fourth settlement with the corporation in the last decade. The Department of Health and Human Services will now monitor Pfizer for compliance to drug regulations and rules, trying to keep it on track. Pfizer demonstrates what happens when aspects of health care are put into the

hands of ambitious profiteers. Things run amuck. There are no boundaries or limitations often when businesses seek a hefty bottom line. There is truly gold in those pills. There are fortunes to be made selling prescription drugs, and the government is at a loss in gaining compliance to its rules. The rebel company has turned away from its responsibility time and time again. It is as if it doesn’t care about regulations and is intent on breaking laws. The fines do not seem to be a deterrent; there is so much money to be made that the penalties are drops in the bucket and do not bother marketers. Pfizer knows no restraint. “There’s a kind of mentality in this sector that (settle-

ments) are the cost of doing business, and we can cheat,” said Bill Vaughan, an analyst at Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports. Settlements are viewed as “business as usual” for drug companies. And why not? Recently, some people have cast government as the bad guy in the health care arena. Where is its clout? Can it be walkedover, ignored, played for a fool? Some people fear government will take over “life as we know it” and then tell them what to do. That’s not going to happen. If government becomes involved in health care, I don’t expect the world to shake or for the occasion to portend gloomy events. I am not afraid of government.

Certainly, governmentadministered health care is better, more for the people than anything that big corporations can offer. Their executives’ minds are always on how to make more money, how to secure wealth for the few. I would always trust the USA over profit-mongers, over those who stand to substantially gain while providing basic human services. Yet, the enormous profit needs to be taken from the health care industry. In the long run, government should compete with the health care industry, bringing down costs. It should start by putting “a public option” into the immediate health care bill and then move to introduce greater competition with the health care industries, including pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer. Government needs to work for the trust of mainstream Americans. It needs to highlight its big successes like Medicare and veterans’ care. It must ardently refute critics who often let colossal corporate profiteers off the hook as capitalism’s sacred cows and fine china. Government is the worthiest steward of the American health care system today.

Where in the Constitution does it say ... BY TONY MOSCHETTI

ow about a Constitutional quiz for my enlightened, informed liberal friends? Raise your hand if you have ever read this wonderful document. Hmm, I don’t see many hands. Is that because you, like your president, have little use for the document? He said the Founders “got it wrong,” because it is “A charter of negative liberties, saying only what the government can’t do to you, but not what the government must do for you!” Raise your hand if you agree with the president. Ah, that’s more like it! I trust you believe there is a clause in the Constitution that mandates a “wall of separation between church and state.” Sorry, it doesn’t exist. I’ve looked. Maybe I missed it, so perhaps one of you liberals can direct me to the specific Article, and Section, and I’ll look again, or better yet simply cut and paste it directly

GUEST COLUMN

---

from the document, then e-mail it to me! Nope, Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1803 was a private letter answering their inquiry. This one should be easier. Raise your hand if you can show me where the Constitution permits women to have their unborn children killed, at any time for any reason. I see a few flinches, but no raised hands! If it’s there why did it take 200 years for so many brilliant justices to find where it was hidden? Right, because it doesn’t exist. Please tell me which article allows the government to force citizens to buy health insurance, or pay a fine. Or force employers to provide health insurance to employees or pay a tax to the government. Or take money from one citizen, and give it to another citizen to buy a specific product, like, say, a

car, but not a refrigerator, or a copy of the Constitution! Show of hands please. Hmm, no hands, then under what authority are they trying to do it? Right again, totalitarianism! Where in the Constitution does it say that terrorists, like the ones that killed 3,000 of our people on 9/11, must be read Miranda rights when captured on the battlefield, and have taxpayers provide them with lawyers as if they just robbed the local convenience store? Oh, that was our “commander-in-chief’s brilliant idea! Any little thing to help our enemies! If the president believes in our Constitution, why would he name as special advisers such as now former “green jobs czar Van Jones, an avowed Communist and radical activist who co-founded the Communist group STORM. That group that describes itself and its activities as such: “We upheld the Marxist critique of capitalist exploitation. We agree with

Lenin’s analysis of the state and party. And we found inspiration and guidance in the insurgent revolutionary strategies developed by Third World revolutionaries like Mao Tse-Tung, and Amilcar Cabral.” Even more outrageous, Jones, along with other likeminded whackos such a Ed Asner, Cynthia McKinney and Janeane Garafolo, signed a 9/11 Truther petition to investigate the Bush administration’s culpability in the 9/11 attacks! I guess the president didn’t know about Jones, just as he didn’t know, after 20 years, who Jeremiah Wright was or that William Ayers was, “just a guy from the neighborhood!” These are but a small sample of the kinds of, apparently, like-minded people the president has chosen to advise him in “upholding” the Constitution!

Elon poll to look at health care MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The ongoing struggles of the financial industry, President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity and the 2010 Senate race for the seat now held by Republican Richard Burr are among topics the Elon University Poll will explore this year. Poll director Hunter Bacot said the first poll, which will be taken next week, will survey residents of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. Every other year, the poll conducts a community survey. In 2005 and 2007, those surveys were done in Alamance County. This

Is your hearing current?

yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be done in the Charlotte area because of the prominence of the financial industry there and will focus on that topic. One reason for delaying the statewide polls until October and November, he said, is to allow the field to develop for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senate race. Burr, a former U.S. House member, is running for his second term in the U.S. Senate. Two Democrats have officially entered the race for their partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination -- N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and Durham attorney Ken Lewis. Others are considering a run.

A Public Policy Polling survey conducted this month indicated U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge would be the strongest candidate against Burr, though the polling group said that may be the result of higher name recognition. Bacot said Etheridge is among the candidates some Democrats hope to persuade to run. A recent survey by Public Policy Polling indicated more North Carolina residents disapprove than approve of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance as president. Fifty-one percent disapproved and 45 percent approved.

Rubber hits the road Obama faces tough choice on China tire duties

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama faces a tough choice as he nears a deadline on whether to slap tariffs on a flood of Chinese tires entering the United States: Imposing duties could antagonize strategically important China; not doing so would anger Obama’s union allies. By this week Obama must decide whether the United States will impose a tariff of up to 55 percent on tires imported from

China, which a powerful union blames for the loss of thousands of American jobs. The timing of the decision could be awkward. It comes on the eve of an economic summit of the Group of 20 leading rich and developing nations in Pittsburgh. China will be a major presence at the meeting, and the United States will be eager to show it supports free trade. At the same time, Obama needs union support as he makes a high-stakes push for na-

tional health care legislation. “He says he’s free trade, and he says he’s pro-union, so it’s impossible for him,” Roy Littlefield, executive vice president of the Tire Industry Association, which opposes the tire tariff, said in an interview. By Sept. 17, Obama must accept, reject or modify a U.S. International Trade Commission ruling that a rising tide of Chinese tires hurts U.S. producers. The federal trade panel recommended a 55 percent tariff in the first year, 45 percent in the second year and 35 percent in the third year. Beijing says the duties

would be a violation of global free-trade principles and has complained about U.S. protectionism. Littlefield said a tariff would not save American jobs; it would only cause tire manufacturers to move production to another country with less strict environmental and safety controls, less active unions and lower costs than the United States. United Steelworkers, the union that brought the case, accuses China of making a recent push to unload more tires ahead of possible action by Obama. The union says more than 5,000 tire workers have lost jobs since 2004, as Chi-

nese tires overwhelmed the U.S. market. Labor is always important to Democratic presidents, but that is especially true as Obama tries to win support on health care, which has become the central issue of his first year in office. To reach a compromise on health care, Obama may need concessions from prolabor Democrats who support a strong stand against China. Knowing this, Obama might be less inclined to risk angering them over something like tires, according to Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

ARCHDALE – Walking into Shady Ladies Accessories is more like walking into a friend’s warm, welcoming home than entering a gift shop. And after years of working at the High Point Furniture Market and dreaming of opening a business of her own, Cindy Watson finally can relax on the white front porch of the Archdale business adorned with wind chimes, bird houses, flower pots and outdoor furniture for sale. “This is it,” Watson said about the dreams she had of opening a business that focused on gifts and home decor. “It’s taken me this long to get it here.” Watson, who once worked as a showroom manager for Norman Perry Lamps Inc., said she learned about sales, furniture and home accents through the local furniture industry. “I’ve had no formal training, but I have a lot of experience in the industry at all levels,” she said. She began by working at a temporary furniture market job that evolved into a career. Working around home furnishings gave her the desire to open a business that focused on home accents for several years before opening Shady Ladies Accessories, located at 117 W. White Drive, in 2006. “I knew exactly what I wanted and exactly what I wanted it to be like,” she said. When her children were old enough for their mother to operate such a business,

Shady Ladies Accessories is a gift and accessories shop located at 117 W. White Drive in Archdale. It is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. MondayFriday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. The store can be reached at 431-7558.

she opened Shady Ladies in the house, built in the 1940s, because she said it sets the atmosphere. “I feel more like people are coming to my home instead of my business,” she said about the house, which has hardwood floors and warm walls inside. Shady Ladies opened with a large inventory of furniture pieces, but, over

time, Watson said the business “evolved” into more of a gift store. “It happened naturally,” she said. “Especially in the past year, I’ve focused on items that people could afford, like a $10 item instead of a $20 item.” The shop’s evolution must have worked because the store’s sales haven’t suffered in the economy. Carrying art and jewelry from local artists, seasonal decorations including newly arrived Christmas ornaments, small furniture pieces and other gifts such as monogrammed wallets, the store is as successful as it has been from day one, she said. As the holidays approach, she will have a designer on hand who will give Christmas decorating consultations free of charge.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the U.S. Copyright Office has serious concerns with a class-action settlement that would grant Google the digital rights to millions of books that are no longer being published. Marybeth Peters, the Register of the Copyright Office, told a congressional committee Thursday that she believes parts of the proposed settlement are “fundamentally at odds with the law.” She also warned the House Judiciary Committee that the agreement would jeopardize Congress’ ability to govern book copyrights. The copyright office’s misgivings are just the latest doubts being cast about the legality of a settlement Google reached with U.S. authors and publishers 10 months ago. A federal court hearing on the settlement is scheduled for Oct. 7.

‘Madden NFL 10’ falls short of end zone

NEW YORK (AP) — Retail sales of video games have declined for six straight months. Analysts are blaming the slow August — which was expected — in part

on a disappointing showing from the latest “Madden” title from Electronic Arts. Market researcher NPD Group reports a 16 percent decline to $909 mil-

lion in overall U.S. retail sales of hardware, software and accessories. Sales of games fell 15 percent $470 million when compared with the same month a year

earlier. Hardware sales, meanwhile, dropped by a quarter to $298 million. Still, price cuts lifted sales of Sony Corp.’s PlayStation 3 by 72 percent over July.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

The sales figures do not reflect Septemb er’s release of “The Beatles: Rock Band” and “Guitar Hero 5,” two titles expected to give the industry a boost.

Passengers arrive for flights out of Cleveland Hopkins Airport in Cleveland, Ohio, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in November 2008.

Why wait? Procrastination may no longer be best for holiday airfares NEW YORK (AP) — The kids are back in school, and travel is likely the last thing on your mind. But it’s never too early to start scouting the best of those holiday airfare deals — which are now becoming more widespread and plentiful. Post-Labor day sales are popping up among many major carriers, and at least one fare watcher thinks early might be the best time to buy. Before the fall, procrastination seemed to pay off: People were buying tickets later, and airlines were jumping to get fare sales in for last-minute deals.

But as the economy improves and airlines can better predict passenger numbers, cheap nearterm fares are going to be harder to come buy, Travelzoo Senior Editor Gabe Saglie said. What the airlines won’t tell you The fall is typically the weakest season of the year for air travel, and airlines are worried. After launching handfuls of fare sales this summer, major carriers are trying to get ahead of the curve — launching sales earlier and stretching them out longer. “I think that definitely

we saw this year an earlier than usual push for fall and winter travel,” Saglie said. “Before we were even talking about winter, airlines were talking about late December travel deals.” A number of airlines, including United, Virgin America, American and JetBlue have recently launched sales for travel from New York for as little as $49 each way, with departures as far out as Dec. 17. Even in the winter season, when folks start traveling to grandma’s for Thanksgiving or coming home for Christmas, airlines are still betting that many people will opt to stay home. And they’re working hard to persuade you to fly. Show me the money

Fares across the country are still lower than they have been in years, despite some scattered hikes. Overall, they’re down by about 20 percent over last year. Some prices on more popular routes were raised slightly in late summer only to be cut again. A trip from New York to Los Angeles, for example, rose slightly across major airlines recently but is now back down as low as $218 — a price many experts said wasn’t sustainable only months ago. Some airlines are getting more aggressive with fare sales by posting them on social networking sites such as Twitter. JetBlue, Southwest and Virgin America have all given Web-savvy customers a leg up on sales.

Nissan plant to use methanol to cut costs

SMYRNA, Tenn. (AP) — In another cost-cutting move that also makes its car and truck production a little greener, Nissan North America says it will use methanol fuel cells on some vehicles used to haul

parts to assembly lines, starting at its plant in central Tennessee. Executives at the plant near Nashville and the CEO of methanol fuel cell provider, Oorja (Or-jah) Protonics of Fremont, Ca-

lif., said Nissan was the first automaker to make a commercial switch to the power cells that convert chemical energy in methanol into electrical energy without any combustion.

Nissan is cutting its electric bill and carbon dioxide emissions by making the switch to methanol fuel cells mounted on “tugs,” which pull trains of dollies loaded with parts.

NEW YORK (AP) — As Americans resume saving, credit unions and banks are reviving a concept that once seemed to have gone the way of the horse-drawn sleigh: the holiday savings plan, or Christmas club. “It is a throwback to a bygone era,” said Steve Rick, a senior economist for the Credit Union National Association. Like layaway plans — also making a comeback — holiday savings clubs have regained their appeal amid high unemployment and consumers’ general wariness about the economy, Rick said. “It seems like this holiday season everything that is old is going to be new again,” National Retail Federation spokeswoman Ellen Davis said. But because many of the accounts earn very low interest — often less than 1 percent per year — their benefit is more psychological than financial, experts said. Consumers paying escalating rates on large credit or loan balances usually can save more paying those off. “Instead of a general savings account, it’s a way to focus the mind on what you really want to do, just like a college account,” Rick said.

About 78 percent of member unions run the clubs, and interest has spiked this year, he said. Similarly, at Four Oaks Bank & Trust in North Carolina, CEO Ayden Lee said Christmas club membership rose 25 percent this year at his 17-branch bank. Christmas clubs are essentially savings accounts with extra strings attached. The accounts often require an automatic transfer from a paycheck or linked bank account, and users who want to withdraw money outside a specific period — usually the fall quarter — often face a small fee or loss of the interest they have earned. Virtually anyone can join with a minimum deposit, sometimes as little as $1 or $5; the money can be used for anything the account holder chooses, and unused funds generally can be carried into the following year to start the process again. Sal Marranca, CEO of Cattaraugus County Bank outside Buffalo, N.Y., said more than a third of his bank’s Christmas Club members spend the money on something other than gifts, such as clothing or travel. “I’d call it a year-end bonus to themselves,” Marranca said.

Spotting trends, not fads or blips tremely novel. The latter causes them to react to information that doesn’t gel with their current ways of thinking or shocks them.” Calder would agree, noting “that there is a lot of false trend-spotting, especially in the media. A lot of reporters will see a couple of examples and consider it a trend. Look for some verification.” And don’t think that you have to go it alone. Calder mentions that “the trendspotting process is reinforced by having multiple heads involved. You want diversity of interest and opinion for checking each other’s ideas for strength and relevance.”

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

The economic downturn has prompted renewed interest in trend-spotting among businesspeople and consumers. Almost everyone is searching for signs of an improved economy. Layoff stability, surely a negative factor in good times, is now cause for near-celebration. Adam Gordon’s “Future Savvy” defines a trend as having significant patterns in data. “It must be a change that affects a wide range of people and that has, or will eventually have, broad social, economic or political implications,” Gordon writes. However, you can’t view a trend in isolation, assuming that it will remain static, unchanged by “other elements,” he points out, “setting in motion further changes, all of which will cumulatively affect the total net outcome.”

BLINDERS

Josh Calder, based in Washington, D.C., is an analyst at GeoFutures, where he’s inJosh Calder, analyst at volved in extensive research about trends.

GeoFutures in Washington, D.C., says that after 10 years in trend analysis and 14 years as a futurist, he’s settled on a definition of a trend as “an ongoing change in a factor over time.” But he feels that many businesspeople have their blinders on by focus-

ing almost exclusively on tasks crossing their desks. “Too busy doing your job?” he asks. “Too busy to know what’s going outside of your industry? Change may be occurring in a place that’s hidden from you, even if you’re doing your

own job well. For example, a year ago, some people had no idea what Twitter was, and now it’s affecting almost every industry.” Futurist trainer Paul Higgins, director of Emergent Futures Pty. Ltd., in Melbourne, Australia, believes

that “people miss subtle signs of change and therefore are slower to figure out new trends and changes. Instead, they generally notice two things, the familiar (events or issues consistent with their current patterns of thinking) and the ex-

Calder further maintains that companies and industries need to establish and sustain a reward structure for “looking up from what’s immediately in front of them. You have to convince people that it’s worthwhile.” A shortterm program of six to 12 months won’t produce long-term benefits. The process, though, is rewarding intellectually and practically on its own terms; so it makes sense not to wait for your company or industry to catch up with you. Calder recommends taking these steps:

• systematically identifying trends of interest to you and your work; • identifying a meaningful change that could impact one of them; • developing a timeframe for your industry, which could range from six to 12 months for a service business providing new offerings, 10 years for a pharmaceutical company or longer for an energy company; • seeking out early indicators in the speeches, publications, web sites and behaviors of thought leaders and early adopters; and • measuring the trend by obtaining relevant data from sources, beginning with the Internet. Throughout the process, ask yourself about the relationship between any endorsers of the trend, including yourself, and the trend, itself. Gordon, the author, cites “future-aligners,” or “future-influencers.” The first, he says, are motivated to find advantage for themselves, while the second are attempting to improve the world. Let’s hope for a third type, the aligner/influencer, out for himself and the world.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – North Carolina needed to make a big defensive stop, and wound up getting some help from Connecticut’s Dan Ryan. The Huskies’ senior tackle was flagged for holding defensive end Robert Quinn in the end zone with 1:32 to play Saturday, giving the No. 19 Tar Heels a safety and a 12-10 comeback win over the Huskies.

“I had him beat around the corner,” Quinn said. “I was just out there trying to make a play, and then I saw the flag.” The play capped a 12-point fourth quarter for UNC (2-0), which trailed 10-0 after three quarters. Casey Barth started the comeback with a 22-yard field goal, and T.J. Yates led the team on a 13-play drive that ended with

WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — Duke coach David Cutcliffe knew he was going to play Sean Renfree at some point. Renfree himself didn’t know until the Blue Devils recovered a fumble at the Army 19 and he got sent out onto the field. Two plays later, he connected on the first pass of his college career for a 17-yard scoring pass that put Duke ahead on its way to a 35-19 win over the Black Knights. “I just ran in there, threw that, and just all you can do is be the happiest kid ever and run down there and go celebrate with my team,” the redshirt freshman said. Renfree replaced starter Thaddeus Lewis, who completed 5 of 16 for 60 yards. Lewis completed his 50th career TD pass, becoming the 14th ACC quarterback to reach that milestone, to bring the Blue Devils to within 10-7 with 5:52 remaining in the first half. It stayed that way until Renfree’s opportunity. “I had intended to play him last week and didn’t, and I made my mind up we would play him regardless of circumstance,” Cutcliffe said. “It’s not any kind of statement or anything other than just confidence in Sean.” Leon Wright sealed the game for Duke by returning two interceptions in a 16-second span for touchdowns of 51 and 33 yards in the final 1:48. Patrick Mealy led Army with 99 yards rushing on 10 carries. The Black Knights outgained Duke, 385 yards to 236.

High Point’s Chris DeGeare (70) delivers a block on Stanford’s Clinton Snyder (20) to spring teammate Devon Brown (3) for yardage as Sione Fua trails during the second half of Saturday’s game in Winston-Salem. The Demon Deacons rallied for a 24-17 victory.

Deacs play comeback ‘Card’ BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

SKINNER’S RECORD

WINSTON-SALEM – Another slow start left Wake Forest with its hands full for a second straight game Saturday at BB&T Field. The Deacons finished fast and furious. A week after the Demon Deacons fell behind 24-7 in a 24-21 loss to Baylor, they trailed by two touchdowns to Stanford at halftime before rallying for a 24-17 win on Riley Skinner’s quarterback plunge from inside the Cardinal 1 with 2 seconds remaining. Skinner and the Deacs shredded the Stanford defense for 311 yards and three touchdowns in the second half. He completed 18-of-26 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown, and the Deacons also rushed for 257 yards. “I thought Riley Skinner – from the first half all the way through the game – was just really focused,” Wake coach Jim Grobe said. “But in the second half, he was just in a zone. I’ve never seen him any better as far as being focused on getting the job done. That’s what we expect out

–--

On the way to engineering Saturday’s 24-17 victory over Stanford, Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner set a school record for completions. With his seventh completion, Skinner surpassed Brian Kulick’s mark of 665 established from 199498. Skinner finished the game with 18 to extend the record to 677.

of him and we wondered where it had gone, but it’s back.” Skinner set up the winning score by connecting with Lovell Jackson on a 43-yard strike to Lovell Jackson to the Stanford 2 with 54 seconds remaining. “He (Jackson) made a great play,” Skinner said. “When I threw it, I got hit and I didn’t know how it was going to turn out. Then when I heard everybody yell, I said ‘Thank God.’” Mike Renfrette carried to near the goal line on first down. Skinner was ruled to be stopped short on second down before going over on third. He also tied the score at 17 by con-

necting with Jordan Williams on a 9-yard touchdown completion with 4:30 left to play. “Oh, it was great!” Williams said. “I was asking Coach Lobo (offensive coordinator Steed Lobotzke) to run that play. I was like, ‘Just give it a shot.’” Wake’s defense was overmatched for two quarters of play as Stanford redshirt quarterback Andrew Luck completed 15-of-22 passes for 183 yards and two touchdowns as the Cardinal gained 275 total yards before the break. Wake held Stanford to 116 yards in the second half. “We were really upset at halftime. We had really gone six quarters not playing really good football,” Deacons coach Jim Grobe said. “As halves go, that was maybe the worst half we’ve had, but that second half may have been one of the best we’ve ever had. Those guys went out and made the plays. They found a way to win.” Wake’s only points in the first half came on Shane Popham’s 20-yard field goal in the first quarter. Trailing 17-3 at the break, the Deacons cut the deficit to a touchdown on Renfrette’s 3-yard run in the third.

LENOIR-RHYNE DAVIDSON

ow that the preliminaries are over, it’s time to see where the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles truly stand. The Panthers’ 1-3 preseason struggles are a distant memory now. And Michael Vick, the dominate storyline from the preseason, is suspended for the first two regular-season games. So today’s regular-season opener in Charlotte offers real high-stakes drama for both teams.

Since 2003, the Eagles and Panthers rank 1-2 in victories in the NFC. Today’s game finds the Panthers defense at nearly full strength, with linebackers Thomas Davis and Jon Beason and free safety Charles Godfrey expected to play. This matchup also pits two of the NFC’s graybeards at quarterback. Donovan McNabb is set to start his 10th straight season opener for the Eagles, while Jake Delhomme makes his sixth consecutive start under center for the Panthers.

Can Jake erase the painful memories of last year’s five-interception performance in the playoff loss to Arizona with a big game against Philly? Can McNabb’s Eagles click without Vick or will the media circus surrounding Vick’s addition to the club take an unexpected toll? We’ll answer those questions this afternoon. We should also get a sense for the way the rest of the season could unfold.

Ragsdale ascends to elite status BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

JAMESTOWN – The Ragsdale Tigers have long prided themselves on being a physical team primarily featuring a rugged, aggressive defense. While that remains the case in 2009, the Tigers have added a dimension that has taken Ragsdale to another level. An explosive offense spearheaded by junior QB Luke Heavner was on full display Friday night, as the Tigers thoroughly dominated Page, 4221. A pair of 40-yard throws indicate Heavner may be headed for a breakout season at the controls of a wide-open offense. “Luke’s playing with a lot of confidence,” Ragsdale coach Tommy Norwood said. “We’re real proud of him with the way he’s running our offense.” Heavner’s noticeable improvement can take nothing away from a defense that provides consistent performances on a weekly basis. The latest victim of the dominant Tiger unit was a Page offense that had averaged 50 points through its first three games. The Pirates fell well short of that number on Friday, as Ragsdale limited them to a single touchdown through the first 36 minutes of action in building a 42-7 lead. “The thing we’ve got to do is keep getting better,” Norwood said. “We’ve got a long way to go.” After handling defending 3AA state champion Dudley and perennial powerhouse Page rather easily, Tiger opponents shudder to think how much better they can become.

Skinner trucks to victory MADISON, Ill. (AP) – Mike Skinner didn’t start on the pole this week, but the result was the same. Skinner started ninth Saturday and won the Copart 200 in a Camping World Trucks Series race at Gateway International Raceway that was marred by late crashes. A week ago, Skinner won the first trucks race at the Iowa Speedway, dominating the field from the pole for his second victory of the year and 27th overall. With less than 10 laps to go, Todd Bodine spun through the infield after he tried to block Matt Crafton. With just four laps to go, Crafton sent race leader and points leader Ron Hornaday spinning out after the two bumped on the first turn. Crafton was black-flagged and had to restart at the end of the lead line. Johnny Sauter finished second, 0.285 seconds behind Skinner, followed by Brian Scott. The 51-year-old Hornaday still leads the points race with 2,875, followed by Crafton (2,678) and Skinner (2,662).

WSSU opts to stay Division II ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

WINSTON-SALEM – Winston-Salem State University announced that it would inform the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference (MEAC) that the university intends to remain a Division II institution for intercollegiate athletics. The process to remain in Division II will begin immediately.

Nadal finally wins at rainy U.S. Open NEW YORK (AP) – Rafael Nadal has no way of knowing how his aching stomach muscles will feel when he plays in the U.S. Open semifinals. And no one else knows exactly how much Nadal is bothered by the injury, because he steadfastly refuses to delve into details on the subject. What the six-time major champion is willing to make clear: He feels a lot less drained these days than he normally does by the time the year’s last Grand Slam tournament – the only one he hasn’t won – rolls around. The No. 3-seeded Nadal beat No. 11 Gonzalez 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-0 in a match that began Thursday evening, was suspended that night because of showers in the second-set tiebreaker, and didn’t resume until Saturday thanks to more rain Friday.

“I have to admit, I’m pleased that match is finished,” tournament director Jim Curley said. He joined U.S. Tennis Association executive director Gordon Smith at a news conference, where they declined to commit to building a retractable roof over Arthur Ashe Stadium, a topic of much discussion around these parts. “It will be some time before there’s any decision made on whether or not to go forward with the roof,” Smith said. Not long after Nadal-Gonzalez wrapped up, a steady drizzle returned, forcing the postponement of the men’s doubles final and delaying the start of the women’s semifinals. Organizers were still hoping to be able to get those two matches – Serena Williams vs. Kim Clijsters, and Caroline Wozniacki vs. Yanina Wickmayer – on court Saturday night.

Weather permitting – two key words at Flushing Meadows lately – Nadal will face No. 6 Juan Martin del Potro in one men’s semifinal today, and No. 1 Roger Federer will meet No. 4 Novak Djokovic in the other. The men’s final, usually played on Sunday, has been pushed back to Monday on account of the weather for the second consecutive year, a financial hit for the U.S. Tennis Association. The men’s final hadn’t been played on Monday since 1987. Gonzalez, for one, figures this year’s championship matchup is a foregone conclusion. “You always expect that Federer plays the finals against Nadal,” Gonzalez said. “Good for the game. It’s good for the fans.” Well, it is true that Federer and Nadal have met in seven Grand Slam finals already.

Braves clip Cardinals, 7-6 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS – Brian McCann hit a two-run double in the top of the ninth inning and Atlanta held on to beat St. Louis 7-6 on Saturday.

The Braves two runs in the ninth came off of reliever Ryan Franklin (2-3), who blew his second straight save opportunity and his fourth of the season. Rafael Soriano closed out for Atlanta, earning his 24th save in 28 chances.

Cowboys, Raiders offered thrills galore T

he constant stream of yellow flags drew louder and louder groans during Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Simeon Stadium. Really, though, everyone taking in T. Wingate Andrewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 22-20 win over Southwest Guilford needed those breaks in the action as a frenetic second half produced one big play after another. If there was one downside to the contest, it certainly would be the Red Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 16 penalties for 135 yards. One other downside? How about Southwest not getting the game-tying twopoint conversion so even more fireworks could have come in the waning moments? SPORTS As it was, the ending crushed the Cowboys, many Steve of whom milled about near Hanf the team huddle before being â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; called into the fold by coach Scott Schwarzer. Their shot at improving to 4-0 for the first time since 1997 and beating Andrews for the first time since 1997 faded on the same night, and the pain of the moment was plain to see. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gave this game away,â&#x20AC;? Schwarzer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Andrews has some talent and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to win some games. People thought we were going to get blown out and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some comfort. The other comfort is that we know we were right there. How we respond from this is going to determine the rest of our season.â&#x20AC;? The Cowboys will have two weeks to ponder the highlights and lowlights, not playing again until Sept. 25 against R.J. Reynolds. Plenty went right for Southwest (3-1). While the Cowboys did allow 22 points, only two TDs came on sustained drives. Raider sophomore Vashon Dawkins rushed for a team-high 81 yards, but needed 26 carries to reach that figure. Overall, Andrews managed just 125 yards on the ground and 113 through the air while being forced to punt seven times by a defense sparked by the likes of Brandon Banks, Bracy Bonham, John Gehris, Harry McNeil and Jason Nazal. For the second straight week, defensive back Greg Bridges found the end zone after an interception. With the Raider offense seemingly on a roll early in the third quarter, Bridges stayed close to the line of scrimmage on a short pass to the right side from Marquez Swinton (7-for-13, 113 yards). Bridges jumped in front of the receiver, made a clean grab and raced 35 yards the other way, and Tanner Butlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAT made it 14-13 Cowboys with eight minutes remaining. Southwestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold every time it got put in a bad spot, though. Andrews had to punt on its next possession, and Quan Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high offering drifted away from return-man Bridges as the Raiders closed in. The kick hit Bridges first in the hands, then on the helmet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and popped right into the waiting arms of James Davis. Six plays after taking over at the 15-yard line, Andrews scored on Swintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-yard pass to Stevenson for a 19-14 edge with 3:07 to go in the third. Following an interception that gave Andrews the ball at midfield, the Raiders reached the 18-yard line before calling on

T.W. Andrewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Vashon Dawkins (23) works for yardage as Southwest Guilfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brandon Banks has him in his grasp during Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Simeon Stadium. Greg Bridges closes in on the play. Dawkins rushed for 81 yards in the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 22-20 victory, while Banks and Bridges sparked the tough Cowboys defense. Stevenson to kick. He boomed the 32-yarder through the uprights for a 22-14 edge early in the fourth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fighting all year long and I knew it was just a matter of time before they started gelling as a bunch,â&#x20AC;? Raiders coach Rodney McKoy said of his team, now 2-2 entering Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? game against High Point Central. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still got to iron out our penalty situation, but I was pleased with the way the kids played and the way they fought.â&#x20AC;? There was plenty of fight in Southwest, too. Rather than panic, the Cowboys played under control and settled for a field-position battle the rest of the night. One Davis Inman punt pinned Andrews at its 13, and a three-and-out followed. An interception by Andrewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jamie Smith on a deep pass gave the Raiders the ball at their 5, and another three-and-out followed. When Southwest took over that time just 37 yards from the end zone, one nice pass

HP Central quarterback Adams develops within comfort zone BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ask any quarterback to describe his worst nightmare on the gridiron and the answer will closely resemble what High Point Central quarterback Drew Adams faced throughout the 2008 season. His first year under center consisted of the sophomore signal-caller running for his life and struggling to produce for a Bison squad that finished 6-6. Thursday night against Smith, Adams was faced with a familiar scenario. The pocket collapsed on a 2nd-and-14 play from the Golden Eagle 31 and he was forced to the outside, in desperate need of an open receiver. Last year, Drew Adams

was an unpolished, anxious quarterback apt to succumb to the pressure and force the issue instead of living to face another play. An older, more mature Adams surfaced in the first quarter Thursday, when he managed to elude the initial pressure, get into the open field and shimmy away from the last potential tackler on an exhilarating 31-yard TD run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did what he needed to do early in the game,â&#x20AC;? Central coach Wayne Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He saw everybody fanning out and he took off ... what we asked him to do. He continues to grow and do a good job for us.â&#x20AC;? That touchdown set an early tone, putting the Bison up 14-0. That cushion was more than enough

for Roger Greene and a senior-laden Central defense to shut down the Golden Eagles. Greene intercepted three passes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of which he returned 65 yards for a touchdown â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the Bison forced five Smith turnovers. The outstanding play of the defense left Adams with manageable field possession for most of the contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some veterans on defense,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know how to read plays. We just want them to continue doing what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;? If Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experienced defense continues to put Adams in favorable positions, the Bison have a great chance to build on their 3-1 start and make last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unnerving season a thing of the past.

from Inman to Tyrone McIntosh led to three nice runs by Airyn Willis (104 yards on 18 carries), the last of which came from 4 yards out for a score. With 2:21 to play, the twopoint conversion to tie was a must, and Inman appeared to hit Willis right at the goal line to make it 22-22 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before the ball popped out thanks to late-arriving defender Caleb Collins. Even after that, Southwest got three defensive stops, burned its timeouts in between and took over at its own 31-yard line with 94 seconds remaining. A pass to McIntosh got the Cowboys to midfield. A penalty set up first down at the 37. And then a sack by Antonio Jackson, a spike to stop the clock and two incompletions ended it for the Cowboys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defense played a tremendous game, but we cost ourselves,â&#x20AC;?

MOTORSPORTS, NFL 4D www.hpe.com SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2009 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Merger results in odd reunion of Kahne, Ford BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

MOTORSPORTS NOTES: Richard Petty Motorsports’ decision to move to Ford by meshing with Yates Racing puts RPM’s lead driver Kasey Kahne in an uncomfortable position. Kahne originally signed with Ford and was in the Nationwide Series when he left for Dodge in 2004 to replace Bill Elliott on Ray Evernham’s team because Ford had no Cup rides available. Ford sued Kahne, who eventually won when the judge dismissed the case. “Obviously I left Ford, when we went through that whole lawsuit, I wasn’t a big fan and they weren’t a big fan of me,” Kahne said. “Time heals and I think some of those (Ford) people who caused all that are gone. They have new people there. Ford is really excited and I can work through things. I can figure how to get by and hopefully use those guys and work with those guys to become a better racer and help our company. “We’ll have to figure out how to get through (how he left Ford) and go on with it. What Ford’s done in racing has been really good with Roush and Yates over the years. I’m happy with Dodge and what we’ve done here, but it will be a bit of a change next year.” Yates Racing has operated as a second fiddle to its sister team RoushFenway Racing over the past two years as Roush helped with technical support. Kahne bristled at the notion that RPM might become a test team for Roush. “The way that our deal is run – we’re no test team for Roush,” Kahne

said. “We going there to work with Roush, help Roush, and Roush is going to be a part of Richard Petty Motorsports or however all that works out. I don’t really know how it all works out. We’re definitely not their test team.”

A pair of veteran quarterbacks look to shine in today’s season opener in Charlotte. Carolina’s Jake Delhomme (left) and Philadelphia’s Donovan McNabb share center stage in a renewal of one of the NFC’s best rivalries in recent years.

McNabb, Delhomme look to excel CHARLOTTE (AP) – Donovan McNabb will soon share snaps with Michael Vick and remains burdened by his 1-4 record in NFC championship games. Jake Delhomme is coming off one of the worst playoff performances by a quarterback. Sure, the two friends have led Philadelphia and Carolina to a combined 136 wins. Their clubs rank 1-2 in victories in the NFC since 2003, too. It just doesn’t make the scrutiny any less intense as McNabb’s Eagles visit the Delhomme’s Panthers in today’s opener. The only difference between the two may come down to the vastly dissimilar cities they play in. “I’m out and about a good bit in Charlotte, naturally, with kids, soccer fields, school, things like that. I never, mark my words, had one person say anything,” Delhomme said when asked if he’s faced the fans’ fury over his six-turnover performance against Arizona. “I had to prepare myself to bite your tongue. But never one time...” McNabb chuckled when asked if he’s faced the fans’ scorn after his low points. “Here in Philadelphia? Never,”

MONZA, Italy (AP) –Lewis Hamilton of McLaren will start the Italian Grand Prix from the pole position, and Giancarlo Fisichella will make his Ferrari debut from 14th on the grid. The defending Formula One champion earned his 15th career pole after setting a leading lap time of 1 minute, 24.066 seconds to edge Force India driver Adrian Sutil at the Monza circuit. Kimi Raikkonen, coming off a victory at Belgium, goes third for Ferrari at its home circuit and the season’s fastest race, where cars average nearly 155 mph. Overall F1 leader Jenson Button starts sixth, one spot behind closest title rival and Brawn GP teammate Rubens Barrichello, while Red Bull pair Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber start ninth and 10th, respectively for Sunday’s 53lap race. Hamilton took his second pole position in three races right at the finish with a flying lap that was just under twotenths faster than Sutil. The driver starting first on the grid has won seven of the last 10 races. “I don’t think we anticipated being as quick as we are this weekend,” said Hamilton, who came second here in

2007 and who will now enjoy his KERS boost at the start. “It was a very close qualifying session ... but I was able to put the lap together.” Hamilton’s McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen will start fourth. Sutil will be looking to follow up Force India’s first finish in the points with another top-three finish after Fisichella finished second from the pole position at Spa. “It’s a great moment, a great day for me,” the German driver said. “The car is amazing, really quick, unbelievable. It’s such a different feeling in the car right now knowing that you have a chance.” Ferrari hired Fisichella after Spa to replace Luca Badoer, who finished last in the two races since taking over for the injured Felipe Massa. Tonio Liuzzi, Fisichella’s replacement, will start seventh after getting in an F1 car for the first time since 2007. Fisichella will be the first Italian to race a Ferrari at Monza since Ivan Capelli in 1992. Both championship leaders endured disappointing performances, although Red Bull’s title hopes are likely to take the biggest hit after trailing both Brawn GPs.

Delhomme led Carolina to a Super Bowl loss in his first season with the Panthers in 2003 after beating McNabb’s Eagles in the NFC title game. Yet Delhomme looked lost in Carolina’s last real game. On his 34th birthday he threw five interceptions – one shy of the NFL playoff record – and lost a fumble against the Cardinals. The performance put an abrupt end to a 12-win season and Delhomme’s successful return from reconstructive elbow surgery. And even in polite Charlotte, Delhomme was peppered with boos. His teammates and coaches rallied around him. Delhomme received a lucrative contract extension, faced no competition in training camp and was voted a captain. Now he hopes to lead an offense that still features speedy receiver Steve Smith and running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, who last season combined for the most yards rushing by NFL teammates since 1984. It’ll be up to an emotional Philadelphia defense to stop them in its first game since longtime defensive coordinator Jim Johnson died of cancer.

Favre, Brady back on field THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hamilton claims Italian GP pole

said McNabb, dripping with sarcasm. Southern hospitality may not have reached Philly, but both cities have gotten used to these guys behind center. Delhomme will make his sixth straight opening day start for Carolina. It’ll be 10 in a row for McNabb with the Eagles. Yet it would seem both quarterbacks need solid games Sunday. McNabb has publicly supported Vick’s arrival, declaring he wishes Vick wasn’t suspended for the first two games to complete penalties for bankrolling a dogfighting ring. But if the 32-year-old McNabb struggles – even if he played well in his fourth NFC championship game loss to the Cardinals in January – it’ll lead to calls that Vick should supplant the man who’s been the regular starter since 1999. “Not too many people can say that they’ve done that on a consistent basis with one team,” McNabb said. “I’ve been blessed to be able to do that. But again, there is one thing that I want and I’m searching to get and willing to do whatever it takes, and that’s winning a Super Bowl and bringing it back here to Philly.”

Welcome back, Brett and Brady. The two NFL star quarterbacks couldn’t have had more dissimilar offseasons. Or 2008 seasons, for that matter. Brett Favre went from New York Jets retiree to eagerly sought employee by the Minnesota Vikings. For most of the summer, Favre either spurned offers from Vikings coach Brad Childress to climb aboard, or had a clandestine arrangement to eventually join the team once his arm felt somewhat sound – or training camp was about to end. Brady spent hours and hours rehabbing his left knee after tearing ligaments in the season opener last September. There was no question where he would be playing once he recovered, and little drama surrounding his whereabouts or his preparation once the Patriots reported to camp. On Sunday, Favre makes his true debut in purple – gnaw on that one, Cheeseheads – when the Vikings visit Cleveland and the man who coached Favre with the Jets, Eric Mangini. New York fired Mangini, who immediately was scooped up by the Browns, and the Jets released the 39-year-old Favre, setting up his courtship in Minnesota. If Favre comes anywhere close to the form that’s made him the NFL career passing leader, and avoids the sore arm and poor decisions that wrecked the Jets late last season, the Vikings will be a fashionable pick for Super Bowl contention. Their All-Pro running back, Adrian Peterson, has ramped up the optimism. “I feel like we’re definitely jelling,” Peterson said. “I feel like we’re there, but there’s always room to improve. We’ve still got some polishing. Just shine it up and buff it up a little bit and I think we’ll be OK.” The Patriots expect to be a lot more than OK with Brady at the con-

trols again. During the preseason, he looked sharp and focused – how often has the 2007 league MVP look anything but? When he leads New England against visiting Buffalo on Monday night, it will be the most anticipated return to the NFL by a quarterback since, well, the previous day in Cleveland. “Personally, I’m excited like all the guys are excited,” Brady said. “I’ve played a lot of games, so it’s not like it’s the first game of my rookie season, that type of excitement. I think there’s just an excitement for a new season and to see what kind of team we have and to see what kind of mental toughness we have and what kind of character we have. We’re going to be faced with plenty of adversity this year and I want to see how we respond to that.” While Brady returns, Buffalo unveils T.O. The wide receiver, cut by Dallas earlier this year, could be the focal point of the Bills’ offense. In the preseason, that offense was so invisible that coordinator Turk Schonert was canned and replaced by Alex Van Pelt. “This is going to be a little bit of a transition for us,” said Owens, bothered in preseason by a sprained toe. “We have to take accountability, we have to go out there and jell with one another and go out there and play.” Ben Roethlisberger’s 20th career comeback led the defending champion Pittsburgh Steelers to 13-10 win over the Tennesse Titans in overtime in the season opener Thursday night. In games involving new head coaches today, Kansas City (Todd Haley) is at Baltimore; Denver (Josh McDaniels) at Cincinnati; the New York Jets (Rex Ryan) at Houston; Jacksonville at Indianapolis (Jim Caldwell); Detroit (Jim Schwartz) at New Orleans; Dallas at Tampa Bay (Raheem Morris); St. Louis (Steve Spagnuolo) at Seattle (Jim Mora). A pair of coaches who finished last season as interims, then got the

full-time gig, also begin their first full schedules in charge: Mike Singletary with San Francisco, which visits Arizona, and Tom Cable with Oakland, which hosts San Diego on Monday night in the second game of ESPN’s doubleheader. Also, it’s Miami at Atlanta, Philadelphia at Carolina, Washington at the New York Giants, and Chicago at Green Bay in the Sunday night game.

DETROIT AT NEW ORLEANS

The Lions try to get off a historic slide with a rookie quarterback, top overall pick Matthew Stafford, and a new coach, Jim Schwartz, with a terrific resume as a defensive assistant in Tennessee. After becoming the only 0-16 team in NFL history, the Lions can’t fall any more – unless the league adopts soccer’s relegation system.

CHICAGO AT GREEN BAY

The oldest rivalry in pro football has a nice twist to it this year: both sides are pretty good. The Bears and Packers have not had winning records in the same season since 2001, but Jay Cutler brings talent to the quarterback position that Chicago has lacked for decades. Does he have the receivers to lift the offense beyond mediocrity?

MIAMI AT ATLANTA

A juicy interconference matchup of surprise 2008 playoff squads that can make an early statement about their credentials.

WASHINGTON AT N.Y. GIANTS

Million-dollar DT Albert Haynesworth makes his debut for the Redskins and gets an immediate test against one of football’s best blocking units. Washington must overcome its inconsistencies on both sides of the ball to contend in the ultracompetitive NFC East. The Giants won the division a year ago, but faltered late after WR Plaxico Burress shot himself at a nightclub and was suspended for the final four games and the playoffs.

DeGeare makes time for family, dog THE ACC NOTEBOOK:

But, DeGeare does make a point to make it home at least once a week to his family and his dog, which he describes as a Labrador retriever and something mix. “Aaron Curry (the former Deacon linebacker who now plays for the Seattle Seahawks) adopted her brother at the same time,” DeGeare said. “They were rescue dogs. Mine is named Jada and his is named Ali. He has another dog that his girlfriend gave him. When he comes to town again, I hope we can he together so the dogs can have a reunion.”

Weaver, Americans lead Walker Cup

CALENDAR

BASEBALL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARDMORE, Pa. – The United States moved closer to winning its third straight Walker Cup behind the strong play of Rickie Fowler on Saturday, taking an 8-4 lead over Great Britain and Ireland at Merion Golf Club. Weaver High Point’s Drew Weaver halved his match with Chris Paisley to earn a half-point for the U.S. Weaver led 3-up at the turn before Paisley rallied to tie with a par on the final hole. Fowler posted two lopsided victories and the Americans won three singles matches and halved four others on the opening day of the biennial competition. The U.S. won three of four alternate-shot matches in the morning and need five points out of four alternate-shot matches and 10 singles today to retain the title. The Americans lead the series 33-7-1.

CAPTAIN’S CHOICE

Geese, the golden opportunity O ---

ne of the best hunting opportunities in North Carolina is the early Canada goose season. This year, the resident goose season runs from Sept. 1-30, with a bag limit of 15 birds per shooter. If you’ve never carried a Canada goose, that’s more geese than you can carry. Further, the law this year allows you to shoot with an unplugged gun and shoot until SPORTS 30 minutes after sunset. Dick The North Jones Carolina Wild■■■ life Resources Commission has a good reason for this generosity. We have too many geese and aren’t harvesting enough of them. While geese have made a miraculous comeback, they’re pests in many areas. When the season first opened on Canada geese in the Piedmont several years ago, they were almost too easy to shoot. That’s no longer the problem. Due to hunting pressure, geese are smart now and require real hunting skills. Joe Finney, pro staffer for Trinity-based Lodge Creek Custom Calls, has those skills. This spring, Joe won the North Carolina State Goose Calling Championship on his first try with one of Mark McDowell’s creations. On Labor Day, he proved that his calling skills don’t just impress waterfowl calling judges when his hunting party of six bagged 36 Canadas Rowan County Canada’s in just over an hour during a trip to Rowan County. “Scouting is everything,” Finney said this week. “We scouted the Labor Day field and farm pond for three days to find out when the birds were coming in. The ideal situation is to hunt the field where they’re going. These geese were coming off the roost, feeding, and then coming to this pond to loaf. Our first group didn’t come in until after 9:00 a.m.”

GOOD EATIN’

While most golfers don’t like geese, it’s probably because they haven’t had them cooked properly. Canada geese are really quite good provided you treat them like a cheap cut of beef. Here’s my favorite way to enjoy them: Slice the filleted goose breasts diagonally across in 3/8” thick slices. Give them a heavy dusting of House’ Autry Seafood Breader (I add a little more salt and pepper with some Mrs. Dash) Fry them in olive oil until they are browned Remove them, add a little more oil and make a dark roux with the House’ Autry Once the roux is dark, add more water to make a gravy Transfer the browned breasts and the gravy into a crockpot for about 3 hours, the gravy should completely cover the meat and cook until it’s similar to country style steak. I like mine with mashed potatoes, cooked carrots, and Cherie’s green beans. Most golfers will develop a new appreciation for geese once they’ve had some of this. – DICK JONES

Finney reported that all the birds came into the pond within an hour. “Of the first group of about 25 birds, we got 16. The following six groups of birds were smaller and more cautious,” Finney said. Careful scouting provided Finney’s party with the information for a great hunt, but it’s not always possible to hunt the field the birds are lighting in. It’s possible to get birds by setting up on the path they take and then getting them close enough for some shooting. Most hunters’ technique on fly-over geese is to just get the birds to pass over close enough to get shots because most callers can’t get them to commit to landing near their

decoys unless they’re already feeding in that field. I asked Joe if he could get geese to commit to a field where they hadn’t planned on landing. He said he’d had good luck doing just that. “But there is a trick to it,” he said. “If we can’t hunt the field they’re landing in, we try to traffic them and hunt a field they’re flying over.” Finney said, “We always try to get the birds to decoy in, since pass shooting geese is tough. “As the geese come over, give them just a few clucks. Then, really hammer them with excited calls when they are past. This way, the geese don’t give us a really hard look on the first pass. It builds confidence since most hunters really lay into the calls when they first see the geese. It’s an adaption of the old adage; don’t call when they’re headed your way.” Joe calls this the “Nobody’s Home” approach. Finney explained that geese use three basic calls – honks, clucks, and moans. Finney says he uses the moan calls as a last resort to make the birds think the decoys in the field don’t want to share their abundant food source. “The moan is a complaint that tells other geese to stay out of their food source,” Finney said. I was really impressed with the number of geese the Finney party took last week. I asked Joe for the most important factor to provide that kind of results. “The reason we killed 36 geese is because we had Lodge Creek calls,” he said. He might be a little biased, but you can’t argue with success. DICK JONES IS a freelance writer living in High Point.

Josh Harris’ twin sister, Kiki, believes this painting could be a pair of eggs meant to symbolize their connection.

‘The Art of a Hero’ When Josh Harris died in Afghanistan, not even his family knew of all the paintings he’d left behind BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

EXINGTON – An exhibit of art at DCCC is stunning in its quality and scope and both emotionally uplifting and draining in the glimpse it offers at potential and potential lost. “The Art of a Hero” is composed of more than 125 pieces of art in varying media by Lexington native Joshua Thomas Harris, a Navy SEAL who died at age 36 in AfghaniHarris stan on Aug. 30, 2008. The pieces, on public view for the first time, are on loan from Harris’ parents, Evelyn and Sam Harris; his brother, Ranchor; and his twin sister, Kiki. The drawings, paintings, collages, woodcuts and sculpture are scattered throughout Mendenhall Building at Davidson County Community College: in hallways, under stairs, around corners and in a conference room. Art is accompanied by

Hospice of Davidson County will offer volunteer training for administrative and patient/family volunteers Sept. 22-24 from 1 to 5 p.m. Classes will be held at the agency Home Care & Administrative office at 200 Hospice Way, Lexington. The training sessions are coordinated through the agency’s Support Services Department and will provide the necessary skills for volunteer opportunities in the administrative office, Home Care program, or The Henry Etta and Bruce Hinkle Hospice House. Areas for involvement include: office support, arts and crafts, fundraising, music, cosmetology, baking, reading and compassionate listening. Hospice of Davidson County was initially founded by volunteers and continues to rely heavily on volunteer support to meet patient/ family needs and assist with administrative and fundraising activities. The agency reports that during the first half of the year, it experienced a 15-percent increase in patient care. With the opening of the Hinkle Hospice House, the request for volunteer services has steadily increased. To find out more about volunteer opportunities or to register for the September training session, contact Windy Cole-Hedrick, volunteer coordinator, at (336) 474-2068 or whedrick@ hospiceofdavid son.org.

Josh Harris’ sister, Kiki, and mother, Evelyn, admire one of his paintings at the DCCC exhibit. personal items and mementoes and a display of only a few of the many medals and awards Harris won. The art merits exhibit in the formal setting of a major gallery, and it is a credit to DCCC, which lacks dedicated exhibit space, that staff there found a way to display works that say so much about the man who created them. After Harris’ death, his parents and sister found much of

the art stored in their home and in a horse barn Harris used as a studio. They had no idea he had created so much. “My reason for putting them up (on exhibit) is very simplistic in that I want people to remember him,” his mother said. “In the long run, he wanted to do something that would make a difference in the world, and he did it with military service, but also he left us a legacy.”

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Kiki, who lives in Florida, hopes the exhibit will help defy stereotypes of inconsistencies between the military and art worlds. “The Washington Post (which published a story on Harris) said they couldn’t grasp somebody who was such a fierce warrior yet had such a passion for art,” Kiki said. Harris was a Renaissance man,

Apology isn’t part of wife’s makeup D

ear Abby: My wife and I have been married 23 years. Not once in all those 23 years have I ever received an apology from her. She spilled mustard on my shirt while she was reaching across a table. It was my fault for not handing her a napkin she was reaching for. While we were playing racquetball she drilled me in the back with the ball and left a huge and painful welt. Again, nothing. She charged $4,000 on a credit card and didn’t tell me. She said it was “my fault” – she was “getting back at me” for spending too much time at work. After talking and counseling, I still received no apology. I’m not perfect, and we have other issues in the marriage, but I am at a loss as to why she won’t apologize for anything – even injuring me in an accident. She spins every argument so she can win. Why won’t my wife say “I’m sorry”? – Harassed Husband in Idaho Dear Husband: I strongly suspect

it’s because she isn’t sorry. What she is is angry and has a need to punish you. The safest way to do that for her is through an “accident.” More than needing an answer from me, what ADVICE you need is insight from a licensed psychotheraDear pist to help you underAbby stand not only why your ■■■ wife acts out the way she does – but also why you would continue to tolerate it for 23 years. Dear Abby: At what point does a parent stop giving unsolicited advice? It is painful to watch my “child” repeatedly make choices that aren’t in her best interest. My daughter, “Alicia,” is 43. When she inherited a considerable estate, I told her the windfall could make her quite comfortable in her old age. She agreed. After a year and a half I doubt she has much of her inheritance left.

Now that yet another live-in relationship has ended, I suggested that next time she find a man who is self- supporting. I also urged her to quit uprooting herself and her kids. After years of weight issues, Alicia now has a new figure thanks to LapBand and plastic surgery. She let the boyfriend du jour select the size of her implants. Being of the strip club mentality, he chose DD. Abby, my daughter looks like two olives on a toothpick. I’m heartsick and can’t help but wonder what my teenage grandchildren think. It’s hard to watch a train wreck happen. Although I am trying to keep my mouth shut, she tells me she “feels” my disapproval. I think it’s her conscience that she’s trying to ignore. Must I duct tape my mouth shut? – Disapproving Mom in Texas

But for now, keep mum, mom.

Dear Mom: At this point, yes. Your daughter is an adult. She hasn’t listened before and she’s unlikely to do it now. Perhaps when her current romance ends, she’ll be more receptive.

DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dear Abby: I’m 16 and a junior in high school. I was diagnosed with panic disorder and have recently started treatment. I have only told a few friends and family members that I’m seeing a therapist and am on medication. What should I do if I have an anxiety attack or panic attack in class? Should I talk to the school nurse or counselor so I’ll have a safe place to go? – Panicked in Pennsylvania Dear Panicked: Yes, you should absolutely do that if it will lessen your level of anxiety. You should also inform your teachers. But before you do, ask your therapist to give you a note you can share with them.

Book can help avoid crowded destinations NEW YORK (AP) – Is Stonehenge overrated? Too many people at Machu Picchu? And what about the crowds at the Grand Canyon? A new book, “Off the Tourist Trail: 1,000 Unexpected Travel Alternatives” says some of the world’s most famous destinations are over-visited, overpriced and overrated. But for every place it smacks down, the book suggests alternatives that provide comparable if lesser-known experiences. The book’s entry on the Great Pyramids of Giza complains that “Cairo’s urban sprawl has seen houses and fast-food chains expand to the very edge of the ancient site, where an unbroken procession of tour buses spill out their charges.” Some of the alternatives – like the Pyramids of Meroe in Sudan, 143 miles from Khartoum – are not necessarily more appealing to the average traveler, simply because

they are harder to reach, but others, like the Pyramid of Cestius, in Rome, are worth considering. As an alternative to Stonehenge, the book suggests other ancient stone circles like Avebury, 85 miles from London, as well as places in Sweden and Germany. For alternatives to Petra, the ancient city carved from red sandstone in Jordan, the book recommends not just the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia, but also the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado and the rock pueblos of Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico. Whether you’d honestly consider beaches in Perth, Australia, and the Outer Hebrides as realistic alternatives to Miami Beach or Cape Cod probably depends on where you live and how many flyer miles you feel like using up. But ideas from “Off the Tourist Trail” are thought-provoking: Isla

del Sol on the border of Bolivia and Peru rather than Machu Picchu; Iguazu Falls in Argentina and Brazil instead of Niagara; Tikal, the ancient Mayan step pyramids of Guatemala, instead of Mexico’s Chichen Itza; and Bryce Canyon, Utah, instead of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The book, a $40 hardcover from DK Eyewitness Travel, has separate sections on cities, ruins, natural wonders, festivals, great journeys, architectural marvels, beaches, sports and activities, and arts and culture.

Routine whining can be eliminated by ignoring it Q

uestion: My 4year-old daughter, Karen, is a whiner. She rarely speaks in a normal voice anymore. How can I break her of this habit?

Dr. Dobson: There is a process called “extinction” that is very useful in situations like this. Here is how it works: any behavior that has been learned by reinforcement (i.e., by rewards) can be unlearned by withholding those rewards. It sounds complex, but the technique is simple and very applicable to Karen’s problem. Why do you think she whines instead of speaking in a normal voice? Because you have rewarded that sound by letting it get your attention! As long as Karen is speaking in her usual voice you are too busy to listen to her. Like

most toddlers, she probably babbles all day long, so you have often tuned out FOCUS most of her verON THE biage. But FAMILY when she speaks in Dr. James a grating, Dobson irritating, ■■■ obnoxious tone, you turn to see what is wrong. Therefore, Karen’s whining brings results; her normal voice does not, and she becomes a whiner. In order to break the habit of whining, you must simply reverse the process. You should begin by saying, “I can’t hear you because you’re whining, Karen. I have funny ears; they just can’t hear whining.” After this message has

Salivating doesn’t signal regression

ear Dr. Donohue: I have an embarrassing and annoying affliction. When I sit down to eat, my nose runs and runs and runs. I eat with a fork in one hand and a handkerchief in the other. No nasal spray has helped. One doctor suggested that I was experiencing a return to Cro-Magnon roots, when humans salivated at the thought of food. Say it isn’t so. – B.K.

The Cro-Magnon explanation is imaginative, but I don’t think it’s so. You have a named condition that’s a lot more common than you might believe. It’s called gustatory rhinorrhea, a dripping of the nose triggered by eating. For some, only hot (hightemperature) foods, spicy foods or alcohol bring it on. For others, any kind of food does it. Let me give you a list of sprays that have been helpful. Each of them has a different mode of action.

So, if you have not tried one, it might be worth your while: Atrovent Nasal Spray, RhiHEALTH nocort Nasal Spray, Dr. Paul Dristan Donohue Nasal ■■■ Spray and Astelin Nasal spray. Or you can take a decongestant tablet half an hour to an hour before eating to see if it stops the deluge. Sudafed is an example. Save the medicines for social dinners.

Question: What would you say to my husband and me? We are doing far too much disciplining of our kids. Is there another way to encourage them to cooperate? Dr. Dobson: The best

NEW BEDFORD WHALING MUSEUMES | AP

Skeletons from a blue whale skeleton, a right whale and its fetus hang from the ceiling in the New Bedford Whaling Museum in New Bedford, Mass.

Busy port has rich whaling history N

EW BEDFORD, Mass. – Walk this city’s cobblestone streets and imagine the days when the whale oil industry supported banks, mansions, and small businesses. For 35 years, between 1825 and 1860, New Bedford, a city of around 100,000 on the Atlantic coast’s Buzzards Bay, was the busiest whaling port in the world. And when the whaling industry declined, towns like New Bedford didn’t go away. They adapted to other uses of the sea. New Bedford became one of the busiest shipping ports in the country. Now, with its blocks and blocks of original

New Bedford’s centuries-old banks and mansions tell the story of a town that made its living from the sea.

19th-century buildings still intact, it’s a good place to visit with your family, and a perfect destination for an autumn swing through New England. To take stock of New Bedford, start with the New Bedford Whaling Museum, where the specialized tools used to kill the whales at sea are presented in absorbing displays. The museum – the world’s largest, according to whaling schol-

ars – also pays tribute to the huge creatures with three whale skeletons and a model of a North Atlantic right whale. Whaling was dangerous, it was extraordinary, and it was cruel – to the whales, and to the seamen who shipped out to parts unknown, sometimes for years at a time. The whaling museum doesn’t hide from that. One exhibit tells visitors that 37,000 whales were killed in 1934 alone. “If you were a whaleman, that’s how you earned your living,” said Michael Dyer, the museum’s maritime historian. Dyer noted that most maritime cultures have hunted whales. Museum exhibits document whaling 1,000 years ago by Vikings, Eskimos, and others. “It’s not unique to the American experience by any stretch of the imagination,” said Dyer. The museum, on Johnny Cake Hill, lies inside the 13-block New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, which offers free tours in the summer months of the many historic attrac-

tions nearby. One popular stop: the Seamen’s Bethel, http:// portsociety.org/2009/ seamens-bethel, a place of worship that has been open to mariners since 1832. Nearby is the nation’s oldest continuously operating custom house, an 1836 Greek Revival structure where seafarers and captains do the paperwork of their trade: www.nps. gov/history/nr/travel/ maritime/usc.htm. Suitable for young kids is the brand-new Ocean Explorium, a modestly proportioned aquarium, museum and science center that opened in a former bank building in July. The Explorium, www.oceanexplorium. org, has six aquatic exhibits, including coral, scallops, sea horses, and a hypnotic jellyfish tank with a strangely soothing effect on footsore adults. A few blocks down the brick sidewalks take you to New Bedford’s waterfront, where the 1894 schooner Ernestina is often in port. Just as interesting for visitors who don’t often visit a coast is the busy commercial wharf next door where hundreds of fishing boats

come and go each year. New Bedford’s centuries-old banks and mansions tell the story of a town that made its living from the sea. During the whaling years, thousands of ships sailed out to oceans around the world, returning with valuable oil for use in candles, soap, and lighthouse lanterns. The city also produced and attracted nationally known artists such as Herman Melville, author of “Moby-Dick,” and supported sea-related businesses such as chandleries, sailmakers, and coopers. Another famous 19th century resident was Frederick Douglass, an orator and abolitionist who traveled to New Bedford through the Underground Railroad and stayed there between 1838 and 1841, working as a caulker on the whaling ships. He preached at Zion Methodist Church. At New Bedford’s peak in 1857, 105 ships returned over 1 million pounds of whalebone and 200,000 barrels of sperm and whale oil. The next busiest port was New London, Conn., where 24 vessels returned that year, said Dyer. The whaling boom started to decline with the rise of the petro-

leum industry, and by the 1850s, the investors started diversifying into other industries, such as textiles. Whaling all but disappeared from Massachusetts by 1915. But with its deep water, New Bedford still claims to be the busiest fishing port in the United States, in terms of its catch value, according to Jessica Fernandes, the deputy director of the New Bedford Harbor Development Commission. About 500 commercial fishing vessels are in port at New Bedford at any given time, she said. All that traffic gives the city a strong international flavor. New Bedford is home to a large population of Portuguese-speaking

Cape Verdeans whose influence is seen in local specialties like coffee milk, linguica sausage, and the annual midsummer Feast of the Blessed Sacrament. Billed as the largest Portuguese celebration in the world, the multi-day event, www.portuguesefeast. com, features a parade, live bands, and an array of food and Madeira wine. Away from the sea is the shady Buttonwood Park Zoo, http://bpzoo. org/, which has a minitrain to ride and a host of animal exhibits, from a pair of Asian elephants to some heirloom goats. Zookeepers are commonly on hand to talk about the animals and what they like to eat.

Beauty contest Let the fall foliage fly as East and West square off in leafy showdown BY BETH J. HARPAZ AP TRAVEL EDITOR

hen it comes to autumn color, New England’s reputation is five-star. So are Westerners blowing it out their cowboy hats when they claim their golden aspens and cottonwoods can go head to head with Northeastern maples and oaks in October? “I have never heard any New Englander say, ever, ‘I must go to the Rockies to see fall color.’ No. We wait until winter to see the powder snow for that trip,” said Yankee magazine editor Mel Allen. Allen added that he loves the West’s “mountains, the deserts, the incredible wind-carved rock formations. But no matter how much it wants to sell aspen as the defining color fall, it just doesn’t fly.” Lisa Taggart, contributor to Sunset magazine, which covers the Western states, grudgingly acknowledged that “yeah, the East has pretty trees. But going to see fall foliage out West is like finally putting it together: the forest and the trees, with mountains and wildlife and the long light. The whole shebang adds up to WOW.” Here’s a fall foliage smackdown, with recommendations for places to go leaf-peeping in both regions, from the Northeast’s king crimsons, to the West’s golden underdogs.

FALL FOLIAGE PICKS FOR NEW ENGLAND

CONNECTICUT: Route 169 is described by Yankee senior editor Polly Bannister as “one of New England’s prettiest country roads” as it runs through 32 miles of Connecticut farms and fields. “In autumn, this National Scenic Byway is at its best: a gentle landscape of trees and stone walls glides its way through historic towns from Woodstock to Lisbon, all with a backdrop of brilliant foliage in a palette of red, orange, gold, yellow and russet,” Bannister said. MAINE: “Begin in Rangeley, Maine, forcing yourself to leave the lake-studded town, and head north on Route 16, then follow Route 27 through Kingfield, then along the Carrabassett River to Sugarloaf Mountain,” suggested Allen, the Yankee editor. “In this 45-mile or so drive, your mouth will drop at least a dozen times, and no more so as you wind around what locals call ‘Oh My Gosh Corner’ and the mountain appears as if dropped from the sky.” MASSACHUSETTS: Yankee assistant editor Justin Shatwell said Massachusetts’ northwest region sometimes gets overlooked, “but in fall it’s the place to visit. The Mohawk Trail passes by a lot of state forests, but you don’t even have to get off the road to see some striking foliage. The view coming down from West Summit into North Adams is about as good as it gets.” The trail is part of Route 2 and runs through the Berkshire Mountains. NEW HAMPSHIRE: The Kancamagus Highway, which runs between Lincoln and Conway, N.H., on State Route 112, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. “With no houses, no restaurants, not even gas stations, the Kancamagus Highway is all about breathtaking panoramic views of the White Mountain National Forest, particularly from the height of land at Kancamagus Pass,” said YankeeMagazine.com editor Barbara Hall. “Named the first National Scenic Byway in the entire Northeast, what the 34-mile stretch of road does have is waterfalls, hiking trails, numerous scenic overlooks, and hundreds of thousands of visitors every autumn.” VERMONT: Route 100 “has been called the most scenic in New England,” according to Yankee magazine writer Michael Blanding. “In some

circles, it’s known as the ‘Skier’s Highway,’ since it connects Vermont’s giants – Mount Snow, Killington, Sugarbush, and Stowe – like knots on a whip. But the road really comes into its own in autumn, hitting the peak of fall foliage not once but many times as it traces an up-and-down course along the unspoiled edge of Green Mountain State Forest.”

FALL FOLIAGE PICKS FOR THE WEST CALIFORNIA: “Driving inland from the North Coast in California, Eureka to Redding, is gorgeous,” Taggart said. “The pines pop with the deep red leaves of poison oak vines.” Other Sunset magazine recommendations for seeing fall color in California: June Lake Loop in the Eastern Sierra; aspen trees in Carson Pass and Hope Valley along state 88 south of Tahoe; Highway 395 from Lee Vining south to Tom’s Place; big leaf and vine maple trees along the Avenue of the Giants and Redwood National Park; sycamores in the Southern California coastal canyons; and black oaks in Yosemite Valley.”

COLORADO: This state is known for bluebird skies and white-capped mountains. But in autumn, the landscape gets another color: Gold. Aspen and Vail “simply glow gold in the fall; the state is luminous with aspens,” said Taggart. You can hike, bike and take plenty of scenic drives, and lodging prices, even in upscale ski areas, are low compared to winter and even summer. Near Aspen, the Maroon Bells wilderness area is especially pretty. IDAHO: Old Mission State Park in Cataldo in northern Idaho is a lovely place to view fall colors. It’s also home to Idaho’s oldest building, the Mission of the Sacred Heart, which was built in the 1850s by Catholic missionaries and members of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe. The mission is framed by trees that turn orange, gold and red in the fall, creating a pretty picture to rival the classic New England village scene with a church nestled amid colorful maples. MONTANA: Cottonwoods, aspens and tamaracks provide the golds and yellows here. One way to experience the scenery is to travel east along

Highway 200 from Missoula, along the Blackfoot River. You might see a moose wading in the water or elk moving toward their winter home, the BlackfootClearwater Wildlife Management Area. Turn left at Clearwater Junction and head north on Highway 83 to the Seeley-Swan Valley, where you’ll find the Seeley Lake Giant, the largest known tamarack tree in the country. The tamarack’s needles change from green to gold, and the Seeley Lake Tamarack Festival is held to celebrate the transition, Oct. 3-4. UTAH: The Alpine Loop is a 20-mile road through American Fork Canyon in Utah’s Wasatch Mountain range, 15 miles from Provo. In fall, the maples turn red, the aspens turn yellow, and wildlife is plentiful, including turkeys, elk and bighorn sheep. Visitors will also find plenty to do along the way, from Timpanogos Cave National Monument, a series of caves with unique formations and underground pools, to Robert Redford’s nearby Sundance Resort, where you can take a chairlift ride to the top of Ray’s Summit.

The museum describes the show as the first “exhibition in the U.S. to address the historical, geographic, and cultural contexts of pre-colonial Vietnamese art in depth.” The show looks at Vietnam’s history as a crossroads for travel and trade in Southeast Asia and beyond. Artifacts in-

clude ritual bronzes, fine gold jewelry, terra cotta burial wares, Hindu and Buddhist sculptures, and ornaments made of gold, lapis lazuli and crystal. The exhibit was co-organized by The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and Asia Society in New York, which worked with nine museums in Vietnam and the Ministry of Culture. The show will travel to New York next year.

Healthy dogs might eat the daisies

ear Dr. Fox: I have had two purebred Labrador retrievers. They were mother and daughter. Both absolutely loved hibiscus flowers. They could smell the bushes from the street on a walk and veer their way. The color of the flower didn’t seem to matter – they liked them all. The flowers never seemed to harm their tummies, as they were never sick after eating them. – R.S., Bonita Springs, Fla.

Dear R.S.: There are different types of hibiscus. Dr. Michael Flowers, Fox seeds, ■■■ leaves and roots are being used in different cultures around the world for various healing and culinary purposes. Hibiscus (also called musk mallow or rose mallow) seeds can be made into an emulsion to soothe the skin or eaten to relieve stomach problems, soothe the nerves, and sweeten the breath. Flowers give a tart, refreshing taste to beverages, jams and foods and may act as a mild laxative and diuretic. Mucilaginous polysaccharides in the flowers (also called Sudanese tea) may help alleviate various inflammatory conditions of the bowels and urinary tract. Leaves and tender stalks are also safe to eat. Thank your dogs for getting me to check my herbal-medicine books. Their instinctual wisdom is to be respected. However, their desire to consume these flowers could mean they need to be put on a healthier diet and may benefit from probiotics, prebiotics and digestive enzymes.

ANIMAL DOCTOR

Dear Dr. Fox: My daughter has a 10-yearold Lab mix named Darma. She has never been boarded for any reason. My daughter lives in Delaware and is thinking of driving to Texas in December to attend her brother’s wedding. Her vet said Darma would probably not eat and possibly die if separated from the family. Is this scenario a possibility? What are your thoughts? – L.H., Granbury, Texas

Dear L.H.: An old dog that has never been to a boarding kennel could become ill from separation anxiety. The veterinarian knows this dog better than I do, so I would not make light of his warnings. My advice is to make the trip as short as possible and have in-home care, someone who can stay with Darma 24 hours a day in either the dog’s home or in theirs. Darma should meet the person and get to know him or her a few days before the anticipated separation. Check for such help at www.craigslist.org and www.pettrackers.com. Many active retirees should consider such a job, since many dogs and cats do not board well and in-home pet-sitters are hard to find.

SEND YOUR QUESTIONS to Dr. Michael Fox, c/o The High Point Enterprise, P.O. Box 1009, High Point, NC 27261.

his family said. A 1990 graduate of Lexington High School, he won a football scholarship to Davidson College. An injury ended his football career, and he received a degree in studio art in 1994. He studied architecture at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte and was only a semester away from receiving his degree when he decided he couldn’t be confined to office work and joined the Navy in 2000. He loved the military and when he died was at a transitional period of determining what he wanted to do with his life, his mother and twin said. Harris studied art in bits and pieces – in Prague, in France and at the Art Students League of New York – but he didn’t want to be a professional artist. His art reflected what was going on in his life, especially his love of literature. He was a voracious reader whose interests ranged from Darwin to Hunter S. Thompson to philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche. He also had a wonderfully wry sense of humor, his family said. Recurring themes in his art include groups of three, clowns, kings, crowns and the human body, sometimes with severed

The phrase, “the sad clown is the big ear” pops up in many of his works. Now, his family puzzles over much of what they found because Harris, in both his life and his art, was the silent type who observed quietly and led by example. His sister jokes that she got all the genes for talkativeness. Although Harris easily could have entered the Navy as an officer, he joined under a general enlistment and was a petty officer when he died. He was the point man for his company,

His fellow SEALs, some of whom came to Lexington after Harris died, didn’t know anything of his art and were shocked to learn of his talent and see it displayed.

warrior,” his mother said. “He always wanted to be the best and the brightest.” Many pieces of Harris’ art are untitled and unexplained. His family has struggled and puzzled over much of what they found. They’ve stared at pieces in hopes of finding clues and messages that will bring them closer to the son and brother they lost. His mother even had difficulty determining which side of some abstracts should be the top when she was having the pieces framed. “I keep going to frames, and I keep looking at his work and almost cry and say, ‘Oh please, let me get this right,’ ” his mother said. More often than not, they find humor in the art. “He’s left us with so much joy,” Kiki said. “You look at some of those paintings and you have to laugh.” One painting in particular lends itself to interpretation. It shows hands holding two yellow orbs that seem to be yolks. “I think it’s in relation to us being twins,” Kiki said. “But I could be making all that up.” vknopfler@hpe.com / 888-3601

Patients wait in the emergency room at Cook County Hospital, one of Chicago’s safety net hospitals. Safety net hospitals, a last resort for the poor, may suffer under the health care overhaul, an irony hospital leaders are expressing quietly as Congress reconvenes.

Strained safety net Last-resort hospitals wonder fate in health reform BY CARLA K. JOHNSON AP MEDICAL WRITER

CHICAGO – Janie Johnson has no health insurance, so when she cut her toe while giving herself a pedicure, she limped to the emergency room at one of Chicago’s safety net hospitals and waited her turn. “I’m 44, but I probably

A small segment of U.S. hospitals provides most of the nation’s charity care to the poor.

look about 55 right now,” Johnson joked in Stroger Hospital’s emergency department where more than 100 patients sat waiting. Urgent cases, from chest pains to gunshot wounds, are rushed to doctors first. Johnson was glad to have somewhere to go for health care. “I don’t know what I would do” without the hospital, she said. “My health would probably get worse.” To all the knotty issues involved in health care overhaul, add one more: The proposals in Congress may threaten the funding and future of the nation’s

already-struggling safety net hospitals. It’s an irony hospital leaders are expressing quietly as Congress reconvenes this week to take up health care again. Hospital leaders support expanding insurance coverage to more Americans, but they worry financing the expansion will cause some teetering urban hospitals to deteriorate and close. They point to Massachusetts, the laboratory for health care overhaul, where one safety net hospital, Boston Medical Center, is suing the state claiming it’s covering too much of the cost for expanding coverage. Another safety net standby, Cambridge Health Alliance, has closed health centers and cut services; its Somerville Hospital no longer keeps patients overnight. “It looks like a national plan will be modeled on Massachusetts and it’s a disaster for poor people,” said Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, Harvard Medical School professor and a doctor at Cambridge Hospital. “The insurance offered doesn’t cover everyone,” she said. “It’s filled with gaps like copayments and deductibles. Patients can’t afford it, so they turn to the public sector and the public sector isn’t there anymore.” What worries Woolhandler and others are proposals to finance national reform that would reduce payments gradually to hospitals handling more than their share of uninsured patients. One proposal would reduce these funds – called DSH payments for “disproportionate share hospital” – by

People stand in front of the emergency room entrance at Cook County Hospital, one of Chicago’s safety net hospitals. $20 billion, in three large annual chunks starting in 2017. About 2,700 U.S. hospitals receive DSH payments. That’s about half the nation’s hospitals, according to the American Hospital Association. A small segment of those hospitals provides most of the nation’s charity care to the poor. These institutions, largely supported by reimbursements from Medicaid and other government insurance programs, receive 12 percent of their revenues from DSH payments. Lawmakers reason that when more Americans have insurance, there will be less need for the payments. Instead, hospitals would get paid by their newly covered patients’ insurance plans. A trigger in the House health care legislation would start the cuts only after the nation achieved a significant increase in insurance coverage. But critics say illegal

immigrants, the mentally ill and drug addicts will keep arriving at safety net hospitals without insurance. Illegal immigrants will be ineligible for the expanded coverage proposed by Congress. The mentally ill and addicted will be unlikely to sign up. “If they start cutting, I’m scared,” said Dr. Simon Piller, who cares for patients at a county clinic that’s part of the same health system as Stroger Hospital. He describes patients who’ve lost jobs, are living with friends and ran out of medications for chronic conditions months, or years, ago. Safety net hospitals will continue to have unusual expenses, such as translation services and security, to deal with. And some newly insured patients won’t be able to afford the out-of-pocket copays and deductibles. “Copays for us are nopays,” said Dr. Steven

Safyer, president and CEO of Montefiore Medical Center in New York City. “Health care reform to me is an issue of humanity. “How you can have 47 million uninsured in this country is shocking. But you can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.” DSH cuts are part of a deal the White House reached with the American Hospital Association and two other hospital groups. When the hospitals agreed to cuts totaling $155 billion over 10 years, a group of public hospitals wasn’t at the table. “We were never part of the negotiations and did not sign onto the agreement,” said Larry Gage, president of the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems. The group contends DSH payments also help maintain trauma centers, burn units and other community assets that could be threatened.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the co-chairs of the Obama Administration’s Food Safety Working Group, unveiled a new consumer Web site last week, www. foodsafety.gov. The site is designed to help consumers and families get all the latest information on food safety and food recalls in one convenient place. The new site will feature information from all the agencies across the federal government that deal with critical food and food safety information, including preventive tips about how to handle food safely, alerts on life-saving food recalls and the latest news from the key agencies. Consumers can sign up to receive e-mail alerts on recalled or potentially unsafe food and hear from the top scientific experts across the government on food safety. Later phases of the site to be launched will include recall feeds for texting and mobile phones.

“RAINBOW CONNECTION” By PAMELA AMICK KLAWITTER

Moviegoers watch the silent movie “Forbidden Hours” in the historic Bijou theater in Lincoln City, Ore. A reader-submitted question about weekly box office numbers is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Questions address movie popularity, Supreme Court security THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Look at the list of the highest-grossing movies in the nation’s history, and you’ll see most have something in common: They came out in the past 20 years. Of course, that has a lot to do with the rising price of movie tickets. So why isn’t movie popularity measured by the number – rather than total value – of tickets sold? That’s one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question.

Q. Do sitting Supreme Court justices have Secret Service or special security personnel with them when they travel to give a speech or make an appearance? Susan Miller Monroe, Mich. A. The Supreme Court has its own police force, and officers often accompany justices to local appearances. When justices speak at events outside Washington, the court coordinates security with the U.S. Marshals Service and local police. Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said that, as a matter of policy, she does not discuss specific security arrangements. The Secret Service

of the National Association of Theatre Owners divulge their average ticket price, which allows others in the industry to estimate attendance overall.

Photo exhibit honors veterans BY SARAH NEWELL WILLIAMSON MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

HICKORY – More than 400 veterans, living and dead, were given due respect at the Hickory American Legion Fair last week. The fair set up a special display in the commercial exhibit hall, honoring veterans from Catawba County and the surrounding area with 9-by-10 inch photos displayed on large temporary walls. The photos of people serving in all military branches were

displayed on the Veterans’ Wall. Trey Lutz surveyed the wall carefully. He said he knows more people on the wall than he expected. “I work with one, and know a few from around town,” he said. “I know more than I anticipated.” Lutz, who works at Twin City Insurance, also worked at one of the booths inside the exhibit hall. He said the veterans’ exhibit also had another benefit. “I think it’s a great thing,” he said. “It’s brought a lot of people to the exhibit hall that

probably wouldn’t have come.” Veterans featured on the wall varied from photos of men barely old enough to enlist in the military, to those who were starting to lose their hair. There were some, such as Willis E. Towery, whose depiction was an article from a newspaper from 1919 that was photocopied. It said he “gave the supreme sacrifice.” There were others, such as Debra Sites, representing the women in the military, who served in the Air Force from 1982 to 2003.

Schools address cheating, athletics BY ERIC FRAZIER MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE – One year into an anti-cheating program, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools officials say they’ve slowed, if not stopped, a wave of high school athletes who had lied about their addresses to play for elite teams. Parents and school officials say the new initia-

tive, called Play Fair, enforces attendance zones and makes it harder to cheat. About 20 documents are required for each student-athlete, and a widely publicized anti-cheating hot line makes potential violators more fearful of getting caught. But the new system also makes the jobs of high school athletic directors tougher, some say, giving

them more duties when budget cuts prevent hiring additional help. Skeptics say families are still working the system to get their kids on elite teams – only now, they actually move instead of pretending to. “It’s kind of hard to imagine when you go around the (school) system and you see the discrepancy among some teams, why there are these clusters

of athletes who wind up on good teams and other teams have such a lack,” said Adam Bernstein, a parent who once reported a family he suspected of violating the rules. Superintendent Peter Gorman announced the creation of Play Fair in August 2008 after an Observer investigation found widespread cheating on eligibility rules in high school athletics.

ETROIT (AP) – On Jan. 12, 1959, Elvis Presley was in the Army. The Beatles were a little-known group called The Quarrymen casting about for gigs in Liverpool. The nascent rock ’n’ roll world was a few weeks away from “the day the music died” – when a singleengine plane crash claimed the lives of Buddy Holly, J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson and Ritchie Valens. It’s also the day a 29-year-old boxer, assembly line worker and songwriter named Berry Gordy Jr. used an $800 family loan to start a record company in Detroit. Fifty years later, Motown Records Corp. and its stable of largely African-American artists have become synonymous with the musical, social and cultural fabric of America. The company spawned household names, signature grooves and anthems for the boulevard and bedroom alike that transcended geography and race. And time. Motown may be 50 years old, but it isn’t any less relevant with current hitmakers – from Taylor Swift to Coldplay – citing the label’s signature “sound” as an influence. Would there be a Beyonce or Mariah Carey had Diana Ross, Martha Reeves and Gladys Knight not come first? How about Kanye West and Justin Timberlake? What would have become of their musical careers had Motown not blazed a trail with the likes of Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations and The Four Tops? “There were just so many amazing artists that came through. It was such a surge,” said singer-songwriter Jewel, whose recently released collection of original lullabies includes Motown influences. “And it really informed The Beatles’ melodies. So much of what pop music and popular culture became. I

In this book cover image released by Viking “Traveling With Pomegranates: A Mother-Daughter Story,” by Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Kidd Taylor, is shown.

‘Secret Life of Bees’ author, daughter write memoir MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (AP) – The latest book by novelist Sue Monk Kidd gives her fans a window into the creation of her popular best seller, “The Secret Life of Bees,” and into the deepening relationship with her daughter, who helped write the memoir. “Traveling With Pomegranates” features Kidd and first-time author Ann Kidd Taylor alternating chapters as they tell of loss and discovery, myth and the relationship between mothers and daughters. The book, published by Viking, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), came out Tuesday. Subtitled “A MotherDaughter Story,” Kidd tells of a woman dealing with the changes and loss of turning 50 – a woman with a deep desire to become a novelist and who incubates a story about a white Southern girl who runs away to live with three black beekeepers. Taylor writes of finding her place after graduating from college and suffering the breakup of a long-term relationship. The writers set their memoir against the backdrop of travels to France, Greece and Turkey be-

she had lost her daughter. “When she left college, I could feel this distance sort of encroaching,” she says, sitting in the airy great room of her home that overlooks the marsh in this Charleston suburb. “I thought I miss her and will she ever come back?” “I could feel her leaving in a way of emotional distance, a kind of silence,” Kidd recalls. “We were talking but in a superficial way. We never had one of those pyrotechnical relationships that are famously written about. It wasn’t crazy. It was a normal relationship where we had these classic struggles.” Their journey proves ent but in a lot of ways to be, above all, one of rethey are the same because connection. “While there was this you’re having to deal with other story happening the feelings of loss.” The book opens in big story was we again Greece before a bas-re- found one another,” says lief of Demeter and her Kidd, 61. “It’s the channel where daughter Persephone.

NEW YORK (AP) – After more than 40 best sellers, James Patterson is just getting started. He has agreed to a 17-book deal with his longtime publisher, the Hachette Book Group – an unthinkable commitment for most writers, but for Patterson a mere three years worth of work. “Jim has all of these incredible franchises,” says his literary representative, Washington attorney Robert Barnett, who cited such popular series as “Maximum Ride,” “Daniel X” and the Alex Cross detective stories. “And when you put all of those franchises together, that’s a lot of books.” Hachette announced last week that the ultra-prolific novelist will turn out 10 adult thrillers, one nonfiction work and six novels for young people by the end of 2012. Financial terms were not disclosed. Patterson will have help with those books. His co-authors have included Maxine Paetro and Andrew Gross and he will continue to use collaborators, Barnett says. “Whenever he works with a co-author he fully discloses it,” Barnett says. “There’s no secret he works with collaborators.”

Documentary to focus on Obama’s mother

LOS ANGELES (AP) – President Barack Obama often is greeted like a movie star, but it’s his mother who will be the subject of an upcoming documentary. “Stanley Ann Dunham: A Most Generous Spirit” would go into production next year, with an expected 2011 release, executive producer Mary Aloe says. It’s unknown yet whether it would air on television or appear in theaters. Aloe said Wednesday she believes the president knows about the project, and the filmmakers are trying to secure an interview with him. The movie will focus on Dunham – who went by Ann – for her role as the president’s mother, raising him in Hawaii and Indonesia. But it will also be about her work with micro-finance, helping women in Third World countries. She died of cancer in 1995 at 52.

Beatlemania returns with rollout of CD, game LONDON (AP) – Beatlemania is back with the rollout Wednesday of the Fab Four’s remastered CDs and first-ever video game, reaching out to a whole new generation decades after their parents – and even grandparents – first succumbed. It’s been nearly 40 years since John, Paul, George and Ringo announced their breakup, but the new game and discs caused a worldwide buzz as the Beatles returned to the top of the charts in Britain, the land where it all began. Fans flocked to get their hands on the long-awaited sonic master-

It’s been nearly 40 years since John, Paul, George and Ringo announced their breakup.

About 50 people gathered outside the HMV music store on London’s Oxford Street early Wednesday – some, like university student Daniela Gutierrez, waiting in line since 3 a.m. “My parents were huge Beatles fans and I grew up listening to their music,” said Gutierrez, 25. “I can’t wait to have the game and start playing the songs.” It’s not exactly 1964 – there were pieces, with lines snaking outside record stores in London and Liver- no fainting teens or other visible pool. Some die-hards jammed the signs of feverish Beatlemania – but streets outside Abbey Road, the the long-awaited release brought landmark studio where the Beatles the long-gone band to the top of the recorded many of their ground- charts maintained by online retailer Amazon.co.uk. breaking albums.

CAPITAL CULTURE Obama girls’ outsized summer fun the girls dug their toes in the sand at the beach, rode bikes and hung out at an arcade, followed by a final getaway to the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md. And they weren’t exactly stuck riding coach for all their far-flung travels. If only Air Force One gave out frequent flier miles. The lazy days of summer between the girls’ trips included watching Fourth of July fireworks from the White House balcony, sleepovers inside and playtime on the lawn with the furry Portuguese Water Dog they named Bo. Through it all, first mom Michelle Obama tried to keep the girls well grounded. “We’ve instituted Camp Obama in my house, which means that the television and the computers are off all day until after dinner and right before bedtime,” Mrs. Obama said a few days before the girls’ summer vacation began in June.

ASHINGTON (AP) – If Malia and Sasha Obama write “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” essays as they headed back to school this week, oh, the stories they can tell. The tweens have prowled the Kremlin in trench coats, roamed a Harry Potter movie set in London, and studied slave history in Africa as they racked up tens of thousands of miles crisscrossing the Atlantic Ocean, time zones and international borders with their parents this summer. Stateside, 11-year-old Malia and 8-year-old Sasha explored the American West on a family tour of Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon. They went whitewater rafting in the rain and hail in Montana, watched Old Faithful shoot steam skyward, and spent time picking peaches in Colorado.

‘Going green’ takes on multiple meanings G

oing green can mean different things. Many people think of green builders as doing something earthy and unusual like building the walls out of hay bales and mud. Although that too can fit the definition, a built green home need not look any different than the conventional home on the market today. “Better built” in most cases is compatible with the average lifestyle. The word green, within only a few years, has been overworked and exhausted. More accurately, the goal of the average home built green is meant to be energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and healthy. In addition to the confusion of what a green home looks like, there are also folks who mistakenly believe a green home will cost exorbitantly more. Not true in most cases. Of course, there is the opportunity to incorporate as many aspects of green building as possible and spend a great deal of money. But one need not do so in order to qualify for a certified, energy-efficient home. Standard green built homes can cost only 1 percent – 5 percent more. An example below can show you what one’s “up front” expenses might be versus the payback period (which is the amount of time required before the savings resulting from your system equal the system cost).

WHAT IS ENERGY STAR? Most people know the name Energy Star from the appliances that are sold in the local hardware store. REAL ESTATE Clothes washers, dishwashers, and Lisa refrigerators are Duke some of the most ■■■ common home appliances that are “Energy Star rated.” Energy Star is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, whose goal it is to help people save money while simultaneously helping the environment. They have developed an entrylevel program for builders, qualifying them under Energy Star’s requirements and standards.

NAHB CERTIFIED GREEN PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM Taken a step further, the National Association of Home Builders has a program to certify builders in classifying “green” as a real, measurable product. Instead of greenwashing and merely adding the label to homes, the NAHB allows builders to test homes and use techniques that can actually quantify the extent to which they have incorporated green practices into homes.

EXISTING HOME ENERGY EFFICIENCY RETROFITTING The real estate market is tough right now and people are putting off plans to shop for homes. However, many people are renovating their homes to accommodate their changing lifestyle or to prepare their home for a more competitive market down the

road. One way to market a home uniquely and save money is to get a home energy audit and retrofit it for Energy Star standards.

inancial planners aren’t normally bullish on real estate. After all, many earn a living through commissions selling investment instruments other than real estate, such as stocks, bonds and insurance products. Yet many planners are now supportive of clients who’d like to buy a home. “This could be the opportunity of a lifetime to buy a house. In some areas, prices are below what they were five or six years ago,” says Debbra Dillon, the head of a financial planning firm in the Garrett Planning Network (www.garrettplanning.com), which is comprised of fee-only planners who don’t accept commissions. Still, Dillon and other planners caution clients to make sure they are financially secure before heading into a home purchase because “you’ve got to be conservative in volatile times like these,” she says. Financial planners like to see that their clients have an “emergency fund” equal to their living expenses for a three- to eight-month period before they commit to a home purchase. Also, they say a 20 percent down payment is ideal. “I’m seeing a lot more excitement now, particularly among young people who want to acquire a first home,” says Charles Carroll, a financial planner who’s also part of the Garrett Planning Network. If you want to buy a home before the recession-era bargains are gone, then these pointers could prove useful: • Buy only if you believe your job is safe. As Dillon notes, job security varies widely from one field to another. She says many physicians, federal government employees and registered nurses are among those who feel their jobs will remain safe through the current recessionary phase. But she says no one should be complacent. “Look around to your left and right. If others are being laid off, you’re in danger of being laid off, too,” Dillon says. • Factor in your retirement savings situation if you’re over age 40. Financial planners are sticklers about retirement savings and understandably so. After all, many baby boomers lack the kind of traditional pension plans their parents and grandparents counted on for retirement. They’ll have to rely mainly on self-funded retirement plans, along with Social Security. “Before you buy a house, you need to have an in-depth conversation about your retirement planning and whether you’re on track for your age,” Dillon says. But prospective homebuyers don’t need to hire a financial planner to do a review of their retirement preparations. Eric Tyson, author of “Personal Finance for Dummies,” recommends the use of free online retirement calculators available through such invest-

ment firms as T. Rowe Price (www.troweprice. com), Vanguard (www. vanguard.com) and Fidelity (www.fidelity.com). Retirement calculators help you estimate how much you’re likely to have REAL ESTATE available to spend each month during retirement, the likelihood your Ellen savings will last through Martin your retirement years, and ■■■ what you’ll need to do to make up for potential shortfalls. • Try to avoid carrying mortgage debt into retirement. Many people assume their living expenses will fall dramatically after retirement. While it’s true you can expect your outlays to decline for work clothes and commuting costs, you might spend more for travel and entertaining when you have more free time, Carroll says. “How much you’ll need to retire depends on your lifestyle. After they stop working, some people live more simply but others spend a lot more money,” he says. Whatever your retirement expectations, financial planners say it’s usually unwise to enter this phase of your life with mortgage debt. “Those buying a house now should ensure their mortgage will be paid off before they retire,” Carroll says. • Look for a home that should prove relatively easy to liquidate. Financial planners urge those buying a home in the current market to be extra cautious in the selection of a neighborhood and property. That way, you’ll have an easier time with resale if you must make an unexpected move. “All real estate is local in the sense that no two homes or two areas are exactly alike,” Carroll says. Your best bet, he says, is to avoid picking a poorly situated home, such as one on a busy street, no matter how steep the discount is for that property. Rather, look for a place in an area with enduringly popular features – like easy access to strong public schools, good public transit systems and quality restaurants. Also increasingly popular, says Carroll, are neighborhoods close to hiker-biker trails that serve both for recreation and commuting routes. For example, he recently purchased a condo-apartment that lets him reach his office after just a 15-minute bike ride. “Buying a property in a comfortable, close-in community should give you better-than-average resale prospects. That’s important for your financial future,” Carroll says.

personal property such as jewelry and antiques. Identify your liabilities. These might include outstanding balances on your mortgage and home equity loans, credit cards, automobile loans, student loans and other obligations. Subtract your liabilities from your assets to arrive at your family’s net worth. You should calculate your net worth once a year to identify significant changes.

The $8,000 first-time homebuyers tax credit, which was part of the Obama stimulus package, is driving home sales nationwide and expires in three months. The Commerce Department recently reported new-home sales rose 9.6 percent nationwide in July. The National Association of Realtors projects that an estimated 2 million first-time homebuyers will take advantage of the tax credit. The deadline for first-time homebuyers to buy a house is Nov. 30. Goodfriend, CPA/PFS, member of the AICPA’s National CPA Financial Literacy Commission can discuss what smart first-time house hunters should know and how they can take advantage of the tax credit before it runs out. Karen Goodfriend is prepared to discuss the following tips:

tax credit for first-time homebuyers who plan to buy a principal residence before Dec. 1. The credit is available to home buyers who haven’t owned their own primary residence for the past three years with incomes up to $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for married couples. Unlike the $7,500 credit enacted last year, it doesn’t have to be repaid unless you sell your home within three years. If you have not already thought about buying your first home, this might be the opportunity to do so once you review your finances.
