Showroom operator denies report of sale BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

MERCHANDISE MART PROPERTIES

–

Merchandise Mart Properties Inc. became one of the main players in the High Point Market 12 years ago when it bought the Market Square complex from a group of local businessmen. The Chicago-based company has become the second-largest furniture market showroom owner and operator. Merchandise Mart owns and manages 2.1 million square feet of permanent showroom and traditional exhibit space in High Point. Its showrooms include: Market Square, Suites at Market Square, Hamilton Market, Plaza Suites, Furniture Plaza and National Furniture Mart.

HIGH POINT – The second-largest owner and operator of showrooms for the High Point Market is denying a report from a business publication that the company is for sale. The business news service Crain’s reported earlier this month that Merchandise Mart Properties Inc., which runs the Market Square complex and other major High Point Market showroom buildings, is for sale. Crain’s indicated the parent

company of Merchandise Mart Properties, Vornado Realty Trust, wants to sell its Chicago-based trade showroom company for more than $1 billion. Merchandise Mart Properties instantaneously became a major player in the High Point Market 12 years ago when it bought the Market Square furniture showroom complex from a group of local businessmen. Merchandise Mart added to its furniture market portfolio during

fore other buyers will see it at the High Point Market. For example, Pulaski, which has a furniture showroom in 220 Elm, gained a commitment from Macy’s for a line in its Tangerine collection at the spring Pre-Market. The line soon will exclusively appear at the Macy’s. “The reason buyers come here is because they don’t want anyone else to have it (the product),” said Ed Tashjian, chief marketing officer for Home Meridian International, Pulaski’s parent

Carol Schultz, buyer from Erie, Pa., (left) listens to Lee Boone of Legacy Classics in his showroom at Plaza Suites, 222 S. Main St. company. “We introduce everything at Pre-Market. Last PreMarket was the best experience we’ve had in introducing new lines so far.” The High Point Market Authority has tried to beef up Pre-Market in recent years. It reported that more buyers and exhibitors were signed up for this Pre-Market, which ends today, since it began tracking attendance in 2007. On Monday, exhibitors in Showplace said they had seen about the same amount of buyers as they saw at the spring PreMarket. “We set up appointments with some of our largest accounts like we usually do,” said Carly Weiner, vice president for Dallas, Texas-based Elements International Group LLC. “So we usually know what the traffic is going to be like

when we come. But right now, it’s worth it for us to be here.” Jeff Lankford, general sales manager for Steve Silver Co., which also has a showroom in Showplace, said the company hadn’t seriously participated in Pre-Market for about four years. “We would maybe open our doors if we knew someone who was coming,” he said. But in the spring, the company decided to advertise to its major customers again that the showroom would be open for the event. “Now, it seems that more buyers – the major ones – are coming,” he said. “If five or six major accounts come to see you and you get something done, then it’s worth it.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

HIGH POINT – The issue of economic incentives is sometimes a touchy one for High Point leaders, and they have a potentially divisive decision looming. Last week, the City Council postponed taking action on a request for up to $100,000 in incentives for The Phillips Collection, a furnishings product and design company that wants to relocate its showroom, office and distribution center from E. Kivett Drive and establish a business incubator for start-up companies in the

former Rose Furniture building at 916 Finch Ave. in southern High Point. Critics have taken issue with the proposal, arguing that $100,000 is too much to give for a project expected to add only five new jobs to its current work force of 19. “We’re opposed to giving public money for a very tentative and speculative purpose,” said Norman Smith, a Greensboro attorney representing Universal Industrial Park, where The Phillips Collection is located. “We’re concerned not only with the wisdom of this, but also the legality of it.” Smith also objected to the idea

of incentives being used to facilitate a business moving from one part of the city to another, raising a point others have argued about how incentives should be used to bring in businesses from outside to economically depressed areas. Some council members said they too didn’t support the idea of using incentives for an intracity move, but like the idea of a business incubator, which could offer space for design ventures in the furniture industry. No money would be released to the company until it met certain benchmarks over a three-year period, including a business plan

HIGH POINT – Showroom operators that opened their doors on Monday for the first day of Pre-Market, said they are hopeful that the furniture industry is slowly improving. “It’s a hard thing to gauge,” said Jacques Wayser, president of French Heritage, headquartered in High Point. “Hope only goes so far. But we’re hearing about more people coming (to Pre-Market), so that’s good.” Most exhibitors like French Heritage make appointments with their largest accounts during Pre-Market and give them a sneak peak at new product be-

District qualifies for additional grant funds BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district leaders will consider expanding a grant request tonight. A $12.2 million federal grant application for Teacher Incentive funds is aimed at improving the performance of 10 schools. Federal officials have given the district permission to expand the program to 10 additional schools and have offered to increase funding to $23,145,954. About $19 million of the total would go to salaries, teacher bonuses, school incentives and fringe benefits over five years. The Guilford County Board of Education will meet at 6 p.m. at the district administrative offices in Greensboro.

The original Teacher Incentive Fund III grant would provide funding over five years for teachers and administrators in the 10 schools. Montlieu Math and Science Academy, a High Point elementary school, is one of the schools. The expanded grant would add Jamestown Middle School to the list. In March, the school board approved a revised teacher incentive pay plan to pay for as much as 40 percent of the annual $4.4 million cost of the Mission Possible program. The proposed strategic compensation plan would replace Mission Possible and two other programs in August 2011 to help the district recruit and retain teachers for hard-to-staff positions. Unlike Mission Possible schools, all

strategic compensation plan target school employees, including cafeteria workers and custodians, would earn bonuses. Mission Possible pays teachers and principals in 20 schools bonuses and higher salaries for working in schools where turnover is a problem and for teaching state-tested courses. Grants allow 10 other schools to participate. These High Point elementary schools are in the Mission Possible program: Kirkman Park, Oak Hill and Parkview. These middle and high schools are included: Ferndale and Welborn Middle Schools, T.W. Andrews and High Point Central High Schools.

–

Timetable: The new strategic compensation plan would go into effect in August 2011. Bonuses: The maximum award for math teachers in the new plan would go up to $16,500, from $14,000, for those teaching tested subjects. Those at the next highest level would be third-to-fifth-grade teachers who could get a maximum bonus of $8,000, up from $6,500. Custodians and bus drivers could get a bonus of as much as $750.

the last decade to become the second-largest showroom holder behind the International Home Furnishings Center. However, earlier this year, New Jersey-based Vornado acknowledged in financial reports that it has defaulted on its loan for the High Point Merchandise Mart Properties holdings. The High Point Enterprise reported late last month, based on at least three independent sources, that several bidders are interested in the High Point Merchandise Mart Properties showrooms. Merchandise Mart Properties issued a statement last week – responding to the Crain’s report – denying speculation about the company’s sale. “Allusions and rumors regarding MMPI being offered for sale are erroneous and therefore unhelpful to those involved with our business and to the ongoing, successful relationships which have defined our decades-long history in Chicago and throughout our properties,” the statement from Merchandise Mart Properties indicates. Merchandise Mart Properties President Chris Kennedy told the Enterprise last month that the company remains committed to the High Point Market and is preparing for the fall trade show, which formally takes place Oct. 16-21. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Woman charged in child abduction ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office on Monday arrested a Thomasville woman for a count of felony child abduction. Deputies responded last week to Kanoy Road in Thomasville in regard to a possible child abduction. After investigation, deputies allege that Julie Annette Graham Reyn-

olds, 39, of Kanoy Road, committed the act of felony child abduction. Reynolds on Monday was taken before a magistrate where she received a $10,000 secured bond and was then placed in the Davidson County Jail. She is scheduled to appear in Lexington District Court on Oct. 4. The juvenile was returned unharmed to the family, the sheriff’s office said.

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville City Council on Monday will consider allowing the city’s animal control officer to carry a gun. City Manager Kelly Craver said the City Council is considering the item following a request from Thomasville police Chief Jeff Insley. The proposal is recommended to make the animal control position safer for the officer and to decrease the likelihood of a resident being injured by a vicious animal, according to the city manager. “This arms the animal control officer,” Craver said. “It also sets forth procedures for investigating animal control issues. I think, first and foremost, this would allow the officer to be armed once this person qualifies under the same rigorous standards as the rest of our police force. “In cases where the use of force is needed, this would expedite this to occur instead of having to call for a back-up police officer to get to the scene and take care of the problem.” Currently, the Thomasville Police Department has one animal control officer. That officer carries only Mace, Craver said.

The FBI affidavit says the 26-year-old posted instructions on his Facebook page about how to make an explosive. An attorney for Moose did not return a call seeking comment.

Why don’t we help Americans in need first? On Aug. 26, as I watched the evening news I thought, what a shame. Five years after Katrina destroyed New Orleans there is still sadness to see and hear. It seems our government has only done part of what they could have for the nightmare these people who lived, went through. When other countries have disasters the U.S. is the first to help. Why can’t these so-called leaders in Washington figure out, help your own first. Without the many donations, church groups and other individuals helping, just where would New Orleans be today. I think a couple extra million dollars could go a long way with the homeowners who had no insurance. On another note, can anyone tell me what other first ladies have taken an out of the country vacation with only part of their family? Who paid the housing expense for the 70-plus Secret Service people that accompanied her? Surely Michelle Obama wouldn’t let the taxpayers foot this bill with the economy like it is today.

We’ve got to give taxpayers some relief Discrimination against hardworking taxpayers, has gone on long enough! Forget the same old laws that politicians, year after year, pretend to be working on for your best interest, just so they can take big bucks from taxpayers’ pockets! Top priority should be given to the following: • No more allowing politicians/ workers to receive exorbitant salaries and retirements. Politicians, for their so-called public service work, should not be able to earn more than $12,000 yearly, they should be made to put their

assets into Social Security to cover the IOUs they’ve put in this vault! • No more paying FICA, 401K, insurance, trips, cell phones, autos, allowances, and all the freebies taxpayers don’t know about. This money doesn’t belong to them and it’s taken away the future of our children and grandchildren. • Voting laws must be changed! Hardworking taxpayers’ votes are canceled by the people voting that don’t work, never intend to work, live off welfare and social programs, and yet, they’re allowed to vote? Guess what, folks, this will continue to lower America’s standards! Don’t you think the politicians should be held responsible for bankrupting America with these endless money pits? • Eliminate property taxes, public schools, welfare and social programs, period! Hardworking taxpayers should be able to use their money to educate their children and grandchildren in a good Christian school! Time for the “Fair Tax” with no hidden agendas! We must bring back honesty,

common sense, respect, morals, character and principles to local, state and federal government! Maybe after over five decades of decline, this can be accomplished if put into action immediately! While I am on a roll, the aforementioned is absolutely the only way to balance the budget and keep America from becoming a Third World country, as America is no longer a superpower, due to these incompetent, corrupt, greedy fat cats.

of the competitive races. The worst news of all for Democrats is that the disaster scenario isn’t based on wishful thinking by Republican operatives. Most Democratic pros admit privately that if things don’t turn around in the next OPINION two months, their losses would match if not exceed their drubJohn bing in 1994. Hood The preponderance of polling ■■■ points in that direction. The Democratic firm Public Policy Polling showed a 49-41 Republican edge in its most recent generic ballot test for the North Carolina Legislature. Nationally, recent generic polling for Congress show Republican margins of between seven and 13 points, with the likely-voter samples yielding results on the upper end of that spread. But the political pendulum never stops. A Republican Congress would be a useful foil for President Obama, just as a Republican legislature would be for Gov. Perdue and the Newt Gingrich-led House was for President Clinton in 1995-96. The GOP could no longer run against incompetent, corrupt government. It would have to govern – to make tough decisions to bring spending under control, and to replace failed monopolies and big-government “reforms” with consumer choice and competitive markets. If today were Election Day, GOP leaders in Washington, Raleigh and state capitals across the country would have to start figuring out how to meet that challenge. Instead, both sides have eight more weeks before crunch time. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

f today were Election Day, it would be a disaster for the Democrats. The Republican Party would retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives, with seats to spare, including the 8th District here in North Carolina and possibly two or three more. In the U.S. Senate, the GOP would win a net gain of eight seats, and possibly the two more needed for a majority. Of the 37 gubernatorial contests this year, Republicans would win most of them. The GOP would also win as many as 500 legislative seats across the country, flipping a dozen or more chambers from Democratic to Republican – including both houses of the North Carolina General Assembly. The good news for Democrats is that today is not Election Day. With eight weeks left until the polls close on Nov. 2, enough time remains for some of these trends to be arrested, if not reversed. Disasters, international crises, or damaging revelations about key Republican candidates could help change the political subject, dampen GOP enthusiasm, and increase Democratic turnout. The bad news for Democrats, however, is that these possibilities aren’t likelihoods. For months, there’s been a massive energy gap favoring the GOP. It seems likely to persist. The public dislikes Obamacare and wants it repealed. The public is worried about the economy, distraught about the burgeoning federal debt, and angry at wasteful spending and bailouts of big business. In North Carolina, Democrats are struggling not only with the inevitable political damage wrought by a painful recession but also a series of scandals involving current and former state politicians.

he problem with mold at one of High Point’s fire stations is growing. Last week, city inspections of fire stations also turned up mold at Fire Station 13. Inspectors found surface mold in an attic space of the station, which is located on Ambassador Court. The good news, however, according to city officials, was that this mold is not airborne and not an immediate threat to the health of city firefighters who live there. Because of that, cleanup of the mold can be delayed until after work cleaning up toxic mold is finished at Station 12. The troubles with mold were detected after city firefighters raised concerns about the suspected mold and the city began inspecting all fire stations. A number of problems at several fire stations that initially were suspected of being mold turned out to be problems such as structural leaks and corrosion. Inspections of the fire department’s facilities are continuing. The situation has become a bit of a controversy because some city firefighters have said city officials did not react fast enough to complaints about mold. City Manager Strib Boynton has denied that allegation, but complaints from firefighters to the contrary persist. Perhaps the jury is still out on the evidence in that matter. Officials say mold can form when heat, humidity, moisture and air conditioning combine. Resulting mold then can cause health problems such as upper respiratory congestion, coughing and headaches. That raises the question of how those conditions meshed in the first place to form the mold that has been found. Are there design flaws in the relatively new city fire stations where mold has been found that contributed to the problems? We also have questions about how problems that have been detected that turned out not to be mold occurred. There have been stained ceiling tiles, apparently from leaky roofs or condensation from duct work. Also, some rusted air vents have been found. Are any of these problems the result of design or construction problems that the city should force contractors to make good? The city is finding mold and correcting problems, which is good. But all the questions have not yet been answered.

Family asks Iran to lower bail for American

Is your hearing current?

TEHRAN, Iran – A day after Iran offered a detained American woman a chance for release on $500,000 bail, her family countered with a request Monday to drop or lower the sum because they are struggling to raise the cash. The appeal – delivered by Swiss diplomats, who handle U.S. affairs in Iran – was another potential snag in a process already complicated by political feuds among Iran’s leadership and questions over how a payment could be made for Sarah Shourd’s freedom without violating international sanctions.

Mexican drug lords surrender without fight

New UN drugs and crime czar takes office VIENNA –A Russian diplomat pledged to focus on public health and human rights Monday on his first day as the U.N.’s new drugs and crime czar.

Speaking on the 163rd anniversary of the Battle of Chapultepec, Calderon called the war an “unjust military aggression motivated by clearly imperialistic interests.”

Third Iranian diplomat defects in Europe HELSINKI – A third Iranian diplomat upset with Tehran’s post-election crackdown on dissidents has defected in Europe – this time in Belgium, an opposition group said Monday. The announcement came just hours after the No. 2 man at Iran’s mission in Helsinki said he will seek asylum in Finland. The defections are an embarrassment for Iran, which clamped down on citizens after last year’s presidential election was followed by large-scale protests and accusations that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won by fraud. Numerous Iranians have been arrested in a continuing crackdown.

MEXICO CITY – Mexico’s capture of two rival drug gang leaders in two weeks may mark a new trend in the country’s drug war, an official said Monday: drug lords surrendering without a fight when surrounded. Drug lords – once notorious for dying in a blaze of bullets – have started surrendering, said Navy spokesman Rear Adm. Jose Luis Vergara. The capture of the rivals also may help allay suspicions that the government hits one gang while leaving its rivals alone.

2 homes lost in 2nd Colorado wildfire LOVELAND, Colo. – Firefighters worked Monday to control a 900-acre wildfire that destroyed at least two homes in the northern Colorado foothills as authorities said the blaze and another one that burned at least 166 homes were sparked by household fires. Crews were hopeful they could stop the newest fire near Loveland from damaging more houses. They attacked it quickly with aircraft and hundreds of firefighters.

Neighbors survey ruins of blasted hillside

A worker looks over damage Monday from a fire caused by an explosion in a mostly residential area in San Bruno, Calif.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. (AP) – Patrick Yu has had nightmares and headaches since a fireball from a natural gas explosion caused his ceiling to crash down next to him while he slept. He was one of many residents who returned to the ruined hillsides of their suburban San Francisco neighborhood Sunday after Thursday’s pipeline blast and fire destroyed nearly 50 homes and damaged dozens of others. The explosion prompted California regulators to order the utility, Pacific Gas and Electric, to survey all its natural gas lines in the

state in hopes of heading off another disaster. Returning residents were wearing wristbands that show they live in the area. Yu said he crouched in the doorway after the blast, thinking he was in the middle of an earthquake. When the shaking subsided, he found that the heat had warped the door so much he had to pull with all his strength to get out of the bedroom. The 62-year-old learned hat his house had been red-tagged, meaning it has extensive damage and will require close inspection before it can be declared safe.

Obama sees areas for compromise with GOP FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) – Ahead of midterm elections likely to produce big Republican gains, President Barack Obama said Monday that conservative activists are right to be worried about the deficit and he foresees compromising with the GOP on that issue and others. Responding to a question at a backyard town hall with middle-class Virginians, Obama extended an unusual olive branch to tea party activists even as he implicitly acknowledged he’ll be

confronting empowered congressional Republicans after November’s elections. Whether the GOP retakes the House or just makes big gains there and in the Senate, Obama’s comments indicated the president has been thinking about how to move forward without the large Democratic majorities he’s enjoyed since taking office. “Where I think we have a great opportunity to work together is on the issue of our long-term debt,” Obama told a resident who asked

how he planned to work with a Congress heavier on Republicans. “I have to say I understand a lot of people who are upset on the other side, and some of them were rallying in D.C.,” Obama said, referring to a rally Sunday by the FreedomWorks group that attracted tea party adherents. “I do understand people’s legitimate fears about are we hocking our future because we’re borrowing so much to finance debt and deficits. I understand that. ...

So I think there’s an opportunity for Democrats and Republicans to come togeth-

er and to say, ‘What are the tough decisions we’ve got to make right now?’ ”

United Way sets ‘realistic’ goal

WHO’S NEWS

----

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The United Way of Greater High Point revealed its 2010 campaign goal with a can-do-it attitude on Monday, though the goal is smaller then last year’s. The non-profit aims to raise $4,250,000 this year. The 2009 campaign goal was $4,500,000, and the organization raised $4,336,572 of it. Instead of holding a single, stationary kick-off event as it has in years past, the non-profit’s officials spent the day driving to local businesses and collecting canned food items before its fundraising goal was revealed at its office on Church Avenue at 5:30 p.m. President Bobby Smith and campaign Chairman Randy Brodd drove an Old Dominion Freight Line truck to 25 local businesses and organizations, including Aetna, Piedmont Natural Gas and High Point Bank, to pick up the food donations.

Randy Brodd, 2010 campaign chairman, stands next to a sign with this year’s goal at the unveiling Monday. “We said to ourselves, ‘If we’re going to spend this much time with the kickoff event, if at the end of the day it doesn’t make or break the campaign, let’s do something for the community,’” said Brodd about the food drive. “Everywhere we went, we were met with open arms.” Smith said the organization also chose to hold a food drive because local food pantries have faced an

increase in demand for food services due to economic conditions. Those same conditions led to the smaller goal, he said. “It is slightly smaller, but when we kicked off last year’s campaign, I knew of ($250,000) in losses we were going to have,” Smith told the High Point Enterprise. “This year, I know of $80,000 to $100,000 more. We wanted to set a more realis-

In addition to the 25 companies that donated food Monday, Smith said about 2,000 cans were dropped off

at the United Way office by other individuals. The 28-foot truck that the men used to pick up the food was “cram-packed,” Smith said. The food will be distributed to 10 or more local pantries. “I didn’t think we would get a 28-footer filled up,” he said. “We’re delighted to be able to help the pantries in our area.”

THOMASVILLE – Candidates in state and local races will face off Thursday in a forum hosted by Piedmont Crossing Retirement Community in Thomasville. The candidates forum will be held from 10:15 a.m. to noon in the Unity Place at Piedmont Crossing Retirement Community, 100 Hedrick Drive. The public is invited. “Our association organization here has a legislative group,” said Dwight Story, co-chairman of the Piedmont Crossing Retirement Community legislative committee. “It’s something to not only involve the community, but also involve our residents here on the campus. They appreciate the fact that they have the opportunity. We do have a good facility for this purpose.” At the forum, Rep. Hugh Holliman, DDavidson and House majority leader, is expected to face off against Republican challenger Rayne Brown of Lexington. Brown narrowly lost to Holliman two years ago for the 81st State House District seat. The two candidates will field questions on statewide economics and education, Story said. Republican and Democrat candidates for the Davidson County Board of Commissioners also will attend the forum. Republican candidates are Billy Joe Kepley, Don Truell, Sam Watford and Todd Yates and Democrat candidates are Jason Hedrick, Ronald Swicegood, Jeff Switzer and Kevin Williams. The commissioner candidates will be asked questions on education, employment, unemployment and taxes, Story said. Story said Republican Sheriff David Grice and Democrat challenger Tommy Evans have been invited to attend the forum. The two candidates will be questioned on ethics, procedures and policies, he said. Register of Deeds candidates – Democrat Gary Bowers and Republican David Rickard – and Rep. Jerry Dockham, RDavidson, and Rep. Larry Brown, R-Forsyth, both unopposed, have been invited to attend the forum. “We would love to see the place full,” Story said, adding that the public will have the opportunity to ask questions. “I encourage people to come out and hear what the candidates have to say.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

“True Blood” actors talk about their roles. 1C BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – Is there such a thing as too many vampires – or werewolves, shape-shifters, witches and fairies, for that matter? Not for the 1,000-plus people who turned out Sunday night for “Fangtastic,” a fan appreciation party, and viewing of the “True Blood” season three finale at the Carolina Theatre. HBO and Time Warner Cable rewarded fans of the Southern gothic TV show for making the Triad the No. 1 ratings market in the country. Fans watched the only big-screen viewing of the finale, and they got up-close with three of the show’s actors: Kevin Alejandro (who plays gay nurse Jesus Valesquez), Kristin Bauer Van Straten (vampire queen Pam) and Todd Lowe (damaged war veteran Terry). The three actors walked a red carpet, signed autographs and posed for photos amicably, and they sat in the audience to watch the finale. “True Blood,” although gory, violent and R-rated,

RATINGS

—

The Triad is the No. 1 ratings market in the country for “True Blood.” Raleigh is No. 2, and Charlotte is No. 3. Ratings are based on the percentage of all viewers watching TV at the time, not the number watching. “True Blood” currently is HBO’s most popular show. Sales of the DVD for seasons one and two broke records, topping sales of “The Sopranos” and “Sex in the City” for the same time frame. nonetheless brought out fans inspired by the show’s campy elements to have a good time. Admission was invitationonly, and those were issued mainly to HBO subscribers. Fans began lining up in the afternoon, and those without invitations could enter contests to gain admission. Kevin Wood of Jamestown won tickets for himself and his wife, Diane, by entering a contest with a dance he could only describe as “freestyle.” Anna Lowe and Brandi Johnson, both of Asheboro, dressed as waitresses at Merlotte’s fictional bar and sported fake puncture wounds on their necks. Boyce came in second in the costume contest, and the waitresses placed third. HBO gave the waitresses passes anyway, and first-place winner Fran Cresenzo of Reidsville (dressed as the fairy Mary Ann) took Boyce in as her guest.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Lots of people speculated, but neither fans, actors nor party sponsors could say exactly why North Carolina has so many “True Blood” fans. Steve Willis of Greensboro sees the show as a metaphor for the South and equal rights struggles here. In the show, many characters are gay or black, but it’s vampires who face discrimination and must fight for rights. Shirley Noel of Lexington and Rochelle Alexis of Greensboro talked about why they’re such huge fans and offered theories. “You’ve got to understand the South and its closet mysticism,” Noel said. “It taps into the sensuality and the exotic.” “And there’s a large goth community here that connects with ‘True Blood,’” Alexis added. vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

LONDON (AP) – Micky Burn, a British journalist, novelist and World War II commando who flirted with fascism, embraced communism and helped save the life of Audrey Hepburn, has died at the age of 97. Burn died Sept. 3 at his home near Porthmadog in north Wales after suffering a stroke, his friend James Dorrian said Monday. Capt. Michael Burn took part in one of the war’s most daring raids, an amphibious assault on the French port of St. Nazaire in March 1942 code-named Operation Chariot.

Actor known for ‘Body Snatchers’ role dies HYANNIS, Mass. (AP) – Actor Kevin McCarthy, who played the frantic doctor trying to save his friends and neighbors in the science-fiction movie classic “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” has died at age 96. McCarthy died Saturday, said Cape Cod Hospital spokesman Dave Riley, who wouldn’t reveal the cause of death or any other details. While he would consistently win praise for his acting during a long and busy career, his most lasting fame would come for “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” In the 1956 film, he vainly tried to warn residents in his small town of the evil pod people from outer space who were taking over the personalities of everyone on Earth. McCarthy’s other films included “A Gathering of Eagles,” “The Best Man,” “Mirage,” “Hotel,” “The Howling,” “Twilight Zone: The Movie,” “Inner Space,” “Dark Tower,” “Just Cause,” “The Distinguished Gentleman” and “Steal Big, Steal Little.” McCarthy also worked frequently in television, appearing in TV movies and miniseries. Comic accordion player “Weird Al” Yankovic cast McCarthy in his movie “UHF” and several of his videos.

ship up, while the troops stormed ashore to destroy German installations. The raid was a success, and a great morale-booster for Britain, but losses were heavy – of the 28 men, 14 were killed. Burn was wounded but fought on until he was captured by German troops. At Colditz, Burn received a Red Cross parcel after an acquaintance, Ella van Heemstra, recognized him from newsreel footage of his capture. After his release Burn returned the favor by sending food parcels to van Heemstra in Holland, where she and her daughter, Audrey Hepburn, were malnourished.

R&B pioneer King Coleman dies at 78 MIAMI (AP) – Carlton “King” Coleman, a pioneer in American rhythm and blues, died Saturday morning from heart failure at a Miami hospice, his son said. He was 78. Coleman was known for providing the lead vocals on the 1959 hit “(Do The) Mashed Potatoes,” recorded with James Brown’s band. According to a 2003 Miami New Times article, Brown had initially planned to do the vocals himself, but a dispute with his record label made that impossible. To avoid any lawsuits from Brown’s label, a Miami producer had Cole-

Besides working with Brown, Coleman also released numerous singles of his own during his singing career, including “Mashed Potato Man” and “The Boo Boo Song.” Coleman also performed with many other rhythm and blues legends, such as B.B. King and Jackie Wilson. He performed at venues all over the country, including the legendary Apollo Theater in New York.

Average NC student’s SAT score stays level; participation rises

RALEIGH (AP) – The average SAT score for college-bound North Carolina students was almost unchanged this year even though more took the most common entrance test, according to a report released Monday. North Carolina’s average total score on the SAT was 1485, just one point off the total for the three-part exam of 1486 last year and four points below the 2008 mark of 1489. The national average for students was 1509 on the test that combines

separate scores for critical reading, mathematics and writing. A writing section added to the test five years ago made the maximum total score 2400. While there remains areas for improvement, more students are preparing to continue their education after high school, state schools Superintendent June Atkinson said. Almost two out of three North Carolina students took the SAT this year, compared to almost half nationally.

Shaquan Duley cries as her father, Arthur Duley, make a plea to the judge for his daughter’s release on bail until her trial Monday afternoon at the Orangeburg County courthouse in Orangeburg, S.C.

Judge denies bond for SC mother accused of suffocating kids ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) – A South Carolina mother accused of suffocating her two young sons and driving her car into a river trying to cover up their deaths was denied bond Monday, after prosecutors argued she could still pose a threat to her only surviving child. Her attorneys had portrayed 29-yearold Shaquan Duley as a good mother who, after years of a deep depression caused in part by the lack of contact with her children’s father, intended to die along with her sons. “She was raising three small children by herself,” Carl B. Grant said about his client, who he said was in a “trance of suicidal thoughts” the night of the deaths.

Duley was charged with two counts of murder after divers pulled the bodies of 2-year-old Devean Duley and 18-month-old Ja’van Duley from the North Edisto River on Aug. 16. Investigators said Duley confessed to smothering the boys after a fight with her own mother, who Duley said badgered her about her failures as a parent and inability to provide for her family. “It was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” Grant said. In court Monday, Duley’s attorney described the depression in which his client found herself, and for which she had been prescribed antidepressants she had ultimately never taken.

The night of her son’s deaths, Duley consumed a dozen packages of headache powder and tried to slit her wrists with a boxcutter, Grant said. When those attempts to kill herself failed, Duley intended to die inside her car in the river before changing her mind and climbing out, he said. Duley was initially placed on suicide watch after her arrest, but Grant said she is no longer under that supervision and has been diagnosed by mental health professionals with major depressive disorder with psychotic features. Pascoe told the judge he feared Duley could potentially harm her sole surviving child, a 5-year-old daughter.

Lawmakers renew objections over landing field sites RALEIGH (AP) – Gov. Beverly Perdue and North Carolina’s top legislative leaders are making clear again to the Navy they don’t want a practice jet landing field in a location strongly opposed by the local community. Perdue, Senate leader

Marc Basnight and House Speaker Joe Hackney signed a letter sent last week to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus that says the so-called outlying landing field shouldn’t be forced upon any community in the state. The Navy is examining five sites for a landing field

– two in Gates and Camden counties and three in Virginia. Local governments in Gates, Camden and adjoining Currituck counties have opposed it. The three leaders said they didn’t oppose the landing field idea “at an appropriate location in North Carolina.”

Widowed spouses find comfort in each other Dear Abby “Just Wondering in the Bay Area” (July 26) asked about proper protocol regarding dating after a spouse’s death. A recently widowed man was dating a widow from his wife’s circle of friends. The women were appalled and now shun the couple. Many men and women who lose a spouse have finished grieving by the time their loved one dies, especially those who suffered through a long illness like cancer. Everyone grieves differently, some in private and some by sharing time with others. It is only natural that two people who have both lost a spouse would find comfort in each other’s company; each knows the other understands what they’ve been through. Those who shared friendship before the deaths of their spouses have even more in common – enjoying the fond memories without feeling threatened. TRUE friends would be delighted in knowing that friends who suffered such catastrophic losses had found comfort and happiness with each other. If this is the kind of friendship these women have to offer, I’d say John and Peggy are better off without them. – Susan in Minnesota Dear Susan: Thank you for sharing your thoughtful viewpoint. Most of the responses I received suggested that these women should have put themselves

in their friends’ shoes before shunning them. Read on: Dear Abby My husband’s Dear first wife Abby died about ■■■ a month after my first husband, and after each of us had been married for more than 40 years. As members of the same church, we shared our experiences and began dating about two months after his wife’s death. We didn’t stop grieving; we grieved together. We were married 11 months later. No one realizes how devastating the loss of a spouse is until they have experienced it. – Marion in Mchenry, Ill.

ADVICE

Dear Abby My parents had been married more than 55 years when my father died this past May. Less than a month later, my mother was invited to lunch by a widower from her church. They are now an “item,” and I couldn’t be happier. My father was an emotionally and verbally abusive man who refused to change or get help for his obvious issues. My sibs and I are thrilled that Mom, at the age of 75, has finally found someone who will love and respect her and make her happy. – Happy For Mom in North Carolina Dear Abby My grandfather remarried at the

age of 94, three months after his wife died. The woman he married was a former neighbor. The relatives were in shock, but Grandpa was ecstatic! At his age, a month is valuable time, and he had the good fortune to “start again.” I would consider it a compliment if my husband were to marry a mutual friend. After watching my grandfather celebrate life anew, I realized that his second marriage was a testament to his love for my grandmother. – Grateful in Oakland, Calif. Dear Abby There is a saying in grief recovery which is appropriate: Women cry, men replace. In my experience, the happier the marriage, the more quickly men remarry. John and Peggy need support and understanding from their friends. They do not deserve to be shunned. – Been There in Texas Dear Abby I believe that after one’s mate has passed, the “contract” is null and void. It’s HOW you lived your marriage that is significant. The speed at which you find someone to bring some joy into your life does not diminish the love of your late spouse. Life is too short for sackcloth and ashes. – Barbara in Pittsfield, Mass. 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.

alk down the dietary supplement aisle at the pharmacy, and you will see a seemingly endless shelf of bottles. Some are familiar, such as vitamin A or calcium, and some have names you can hardly pronounce, such as echinacea, ginkgo or chasteberry. Do you really need all those supplements? It is always ideal to get vitamins and minerals straight from the food you eat. Research suggests the body uses vitamins and minerals and absorbs them best when eaten from foods, as opposed to getting them through pills. In many instances, people may require a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement. Your doctor may recommend a supplement if you are deficient in a vitamin or mineral or have a certain medical condition. Those on a very lowcalorie diet for weight loss, eating less than 1,600 calories per day, may need a supplement to get all the vitamins and minerals needed. People who eat less food in general, such as older adults or the elderly, may need a supplement. Strict vegetarians or vegans may require supplements to make sure nutrients found in foods they avoid, such as meats and dairy, are adequate. Pregnant women and women of child-bearing age need a prenatal vitamin and mineral supplement to help with fetus development. In addition to the basic vitamin and mineral supplements, a large number of herbal supplements are available. The Office of Dietary Supplements of the National Institutes of Health is a good resource to learn more about these supplements. Its website is http://ods. od.nih.gov. Research on some supplements is limited, so proceed with caution. In addition to limited research, no standards exist for how much of an herb or botanical must be in each pill, so there is not always a guarantee of potency in each tablet. Check with your local pharmacist when seeking the best quality supplements or the Consumer Labs website at www.consumerlab.com. It is important to have your doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to use any dietary or herbal supplements. Some produce drug and nutrient interactions and should not be taken together with certain medications, or the medicine may not work as intended.

Experimental treatments limited to a few patients D

ear Dr. Donohue: Do you have any information on a recent experimental treatment for multiple sclerosis? The treatment isn’t available in Canada. Canadians and Americans are paying thousands of dollars to go overseas for their MS treatment. I am interested in your opinion. – V.S.

BLONDIE

Multiple sclerosis is an attack by the immune system on the fatty insulation wrapped around nerves – myelin. Myelin allows nerve signals to be transmitted to and from the brain at extraordinary speed, so muscles and bones react instantly. When myelin breaks apart, nerve signals are short-circuited. Weakness, pain, loss of balance and vision troubles result. At present, there is no MS cure. However, the number of medicines now used for control is large, with new ones appearing almost yearly. When there is no cure for a chronic illness, people become desperate, and that’s understandable. They are willing to try anything that offers the chance of returning to a normal life. Experimental treatments, however, are experiments – tests to determine the safety and effectiveness of a new therapy. Even when glowing reports

come from a small number of trials, safety and effectiveness haven’t HEALTH been proven. Dr. Paul The new Donohue therapy ■■■ could make a person’s situation worse. People who volunteer for trials have to bear that in mind. Trials are limited to only a few patients. Stem cells obtained from the patient’s own bone marrow are a new MS treatment. They’re injected into the spinal canal. Trials are still in progress for this treatment. I believe you refer to a treatment devised by the Italian doctor Paolo Zamboni. His idea is to open veins draining blood from the brain in a way similar to opening clogged heart arteries through angioplasty. The procedure is called liberation treatment. Dr. Zamboni believes that the obstruction of blood flow in brain veins leads to an accumulation of iron in the brain. Reestablishing normal flow through those veins rids the brain of iron and rids the patient of MS symptoms. In many places throughout the world, clinics have opened to carry out this procedure.

Some of these clinics have little supervision. In Canada, the province of Saskatchewan plans to sponsor and supervise trials in early 2011. I would undergo this treatment only in places that have obtained official permission to perform it. The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America provides detailed information on MS and its treatment. You can reach it at www.msassociation. org or at 800-532-7667. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have written to you three times and have not gotten an answer. I have a problem. My body absorbs soap, deodorant and cologne within five minutes of putting them on. I have no protection or good smell when I get to work. What can I do? –R.O. I haven’t answered because I don’t have an answer. I have never encountered this problem, and I can’t find any doctor who has. I have struck out. If readers can provide a solution, I will put it in the paper – if it’s reasonable. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Swift, West live up to hype as VMAs go Gaga THE ASSOCIATE PRESS

He derided himself as a jerk; she told him he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as bad as his misdeeds. He gave a sarcastic ode to his boorish behavior; she sang of an opportunity to grow from a very public stumble. Both Kanye West and Taylor Swift took the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday and addressed a matter from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s VMAs that had refused to die. Their separate but equally emotional performances seemed to provide resolution to the incident, while overshadowing the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other moments, including Lady Gagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight VMA wins. Lady Gaga was the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top winner, snatching trophies including best female video. She was also the most outrageously dressed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and

thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying something, giving Katy Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barely there outfit and Ke$haâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garbage bag-dress Gaga accepted her video of the year award with an outfit sure to anger PETA: a dress and chapeau made of what seemed to be cuts of raw beef, including a meat purse. It was one of her three zany outfits of the evening: she arrived at the awards in a spectacular outfit by the late Alexander McQueen: A Victorianinspired gown and a Mohawk feather headdress atop a long white wig, with monstrous stilettos that made her look as she was on stilts. Later, she changed into a black dress so overflowing she needed help to get onstage to accept on of her trophies. Cher â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an over-the-top diva from a different era â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gave Gaga her best-video award and noted she had

been raising eyebrows while Lady Gaga â&#x20AC;&#x153;was still Baby Gaga.â&#x20AC;? Gaga was teary-eyed, and sang the title of her new album as she accepted the last award: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Born This Way.â&#x20AC;?

Host Chelsea Handler gave the show its traditional bawdiness, though her jokes often fell flat, though she did have a few zingers, most of them vulgar. A pre-taped portion of her opening featured the host getting spanked multiple times by show participants in a backstage hallway before running into the recently freed Lindsay Lohan, who also gave her a swat.

“True Blood” actors (from left) Kristin Bauer Van Straten, Kevin Alejandro and Todd Lowe speak during the fan appreciation party held at the Carolina Theatre in Greensboro on Sunday night.

‘True Blood’ actors talk about their roles at fan appreciation party BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

“True Blood” actress Kristin Bauer Van Straten arrives at the Carolina Theatre Sunday night. Soft-spoken and petite, Van Straten plays Pam, a 100-year-old tough, no-nonsense vampire.

SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

Actor Kevin Alejandro, who portrays drug-dealing, gay nurse Jesus on the show, answers a question Sunday. Alejandro doesn’t know yet whether his character, a witch, will be good or bad.

REENSBORO – A role in “True Blood” seems like an actor’s dream and one of the most fun jobs anyone could have. The three actors who attended the fan appreciation party Sunday night at the Carolina Theatre said both are true, and they offered a glimpse into their characters and lives. Kristin Bauer Van Straten is the only one of the three actors who portrays a vampire, and she patiently answered lots of questions about the vampire teeth she must wear. She wasn’t able to practice lines while wearing the teeth, so her first experience with them resulted in a supposedly tough vampire speaking with a lisp, which didn’t really work. Finally, she asked a fellow actor, who advised her to just take the pain. “They’re huge and uncomfortable and unwieldy, and they hurt,” she said. “They poke your bottom lip, and it hurts, but you have to take it.” Van Straten, a soft-spoken, petite woman, plays the 100-year-old vampire Pam as a hard, tough, no-nonsense character with a flash-temper and simmering evil. Throughout the evening Sunday, Van Straten played off her character’s toughness. “Part of all of us wants to be a forceful bitch – it’s a joy to be a forceful bitch – but hopefully our parents took care of that,” she said. She met racy comments with “Bite me,” and she answered a question about her character’s sexuality with, “I like to think Pam doesn’t discriminate. To Pam, hot is hot.” In her personal life, Van Straten shoots, paints and works on behalf of animal and nature groups. Her many TV roles include Gillian, Jerry’s girlfriend with “man hands” on “Seinfeld.” Van Straten, like the other actors, has no idea what’s in store for her character in season four, which begins filming in November. She overheard “True Blood” creator Alan Ball hint at a convention last week that vampire leader Eric Northman will lose his memory and that Pam and Sookie must take care of him. Actor Kevin Alejandro, who plays drug-dealing, gay nurse Jesus, was relieved that the mystery surrounding his character was revealed on Sunday night’s series finale. Jesus, it turns out, is a witch, but Alejandro has spent

months fending off friends and fans wanting inside information on the variety of supernatural being Jesus would be. “I knew, but in general, we know as you guys know, so we can’t give it away,” he said. He doesn’t know yet if his witch will be good or bad, but he said none of the characters is completely nice. When Alejandro revealed he is married, a feminine “awwww” rose from the audience. In the show, Alejandro’s character is sexually paired with the flamboyant Lafayette, played by Nelsan Ellis. Alejandro nervously watched the gay couple’s first kiss on TV with his wife, who he said commented, “That was kinda hot.” Once, Alejandro spent four to five hours in makeup to play a demon, and he loved it. “I would love teeth, or horns or something,” he said. Todd Lowe, who is from Texas and is used to beef barbecue, arrived in Greensboro Saturday intent on sampling the Southern version made of pork. To the delight of fans, he asked for recommendations of restaurants. Lowe’s character, Terry, is a quiet, intense veteran of Iraq fighting who suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome. His character – thus far – shows no signs of being supernatural and is nearly always serious and reserved. A scene with Lowe in the finale was one of the more quiet highlights of the episode. Lowe watched himself on screen from the audience as he munched popcorn. Even though he auditioned for the role of Hoyt, Lowe said now he wouldn’t want to play anyone but Terry, because other roles don’t suit his struggle as an actor. Lowe has a degree in theater from the University of Texas in Austin. “Terry and his internal storm suits me as a person,” he said. “I based him on the homeless vet, will-work-for-change, and I thought that was the way he fit into the ensemble.” Lowe actively pursued the opportunity to be in something with Ball’s name attached and considers getting the role winning the actors’ lottery. In addition to TV roles for which he’s also contributed to the soundtrack, he’s in a country-rock band called Pilbilly Knights, and Sunday night he sang a snippet of “Whiskey River.”

Parents and preschoolers are invited to Hanes Mall to spend time with everyone’s favorite purple dinosaur, Barney, and the hosts of “The Sunny Side Up Show,” Chica the Chicken and Dennisha. Kids will have their picture taken with Barney, Chica and Dennisha, and also get an opportunity to step into Sprout’s Sunshine Barn and give a fun weather report with the help of “The Sunny Side Up Show” cast and crew. All families will receive a backstage pass to www.SproutMallTour.com, where they can download their pictures and special weather reporter video. One lucky winner will be chosen from one of the eight cities on the “Barney’s Sprouterrific Playdate” tour to appear in a segment on Sprout as a guest weather reporter.

CROSSWORD

Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: A.J. Trauth, 24; Tyler Perry, 41; Callum Keith Rennie, 50; Sam Neill, 63 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Discipline is what’s required to get through the upcoming year unscathed. Be honest with yourself and everyone around you. Don’t be afraid to show your emotions and to discuss what really matters to you. Open communication, kindness, understanding and compassion will lead you to success. Your numbers are 4, 11, 19, 24, 31, 38, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): A partnership can help you expand your interests and take on tasks you have not done in the past. Uncertainty regarding a job or career choice can be dealt with if you take control and make the necessary changes before someone makes a decision for you. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take care of any differences and move toward a better working relationship with colleagues and personal partners. Express your plans and intentions openly. You will learn a lot about the people around you. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may find it hard to do what you say or live up to a promise made. Expect to be questioned about your whereabouts and intentions. Problems will surface with regard to partnerships. Concentrate on your domestic scene. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): A power play at work will turn in your favor if you speak honestly about how you intend to proceed. A love relationship will flourish if you use a little charm and make special plans. A burden at home may cause worry. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotional situations due to something or someone from your past can ruin your day. Keep busy and make the most of your time. Serious consideration should be given to expanding an idea or a skill you haven’t developed fully. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t stop believing in yourself. Know in your heart that you are doing the best you can and that you will make the changes necessary when you are ready. Love is in the stars, so love the one you’re with. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stop limiting what you do or say when it’s vital that you are a participant. Lean toward creative ideas and plans that will set you apart from any competition. Take action and make things happen. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A passionate approach to whatever you do will be the direct link to your success. Don’t be afraid to take a different route if you feel it will enrich what you think or do about a situation you face. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep your thoughts a secret for now. Someone is looking for an excuse to criticize you. Expect alterations at home that will leave you in an awkward situation. Pushing back is likely to lead to an ultimatum. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put pressure on anyone owing you money or favors. Don’t donate or lend possessions to anyone giving you a sob story. Run a tight ship and you will reap the rewards. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look for a new position or a way to subsidize your income. There is money to be made if you put one of your inventions or ideas to the test. A partner may question you regarding your intentions or whereabouts. Be honest but don’t incriminate yourself. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Stick to the truth and avoid conflict with anyone who could make your life difficult. Emotional problems will crop up if you exaggerate or lead someone on. A passionate encounter is apparent but make sure you are both free before you get involved. ★★

“I know she’s really an angel,” Cy the Cynic grumbled. “The horns are there to keep her halo on straight.” “How can you talk about Minnie that way,” I asked in mock horror, “just because she and her glasses won a match against your team?” Minnie Bottoms, my club’s senior member, wears an old pair of bifocals that make her mix up kings and jacks, often to her opponents’ dismay. Cy has been Minnie’s chief victim.

DIAMOND RUFF At both tables of the aforesaid match, West led the queen of diamonds against four spades, and South took the A-K and ruffed a diamond in dummy. At one table East overruffed with the jack and led the ace and another heart. Declarer won the third heart, let the ten of trumps ride and soon claimed. “When I was declarer,” Cy said, “Minnie, East, overruffed the third diamond with the KING of trumps – thinking it was the jack, of course. When I got back in, I cashed the AQ, hoping to drop ’West’s’ jack – and down I went.” “Quite a spectacle,” I said.

HOROSCOPE

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A Q 8 3 H 7 4 D A K 5 C K Q 6 4. The dealer, at your right, opens one heart. You double, and your partner responds one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: You must be cautious. Though your partner might have as many as eight points, he might also hold a horrible hand such as 7 5 4 2, 8 6 2, 8 7 6, 9 5 2. Raise to two spades, promising at least 17 points, but do no more. If you have a game, partner will see that you get there. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

Thomasville a unanimous No. 1 BY MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

HIGH POINT – After four straight weeks of victorious road work, Thomasville returns to the friendly confines of Cushwa Stadium on Friday night. The Bulldogs will bring more than a spotless record to their home opener against Davie County. Thomasville (4-0) earned all three first-place votes and 15 points to secure unanimous No. 1 honors in The High Point Enterprise High Five prep football poll this week. The Bulldogs capped their stellar early-season travels with a 20-13 victory at Albemarle on Friday night. While Thomasville stayed at

the top for a second consecutive week, the rest of the survey saw changes. Ragsdale and High Point Central share second place in the ratings with nine points. The Tigers (3-1) climbed from fifth following Friday night’s dramatic 38-35 last-second victory at 4A power Page. The Bison (3-1), who held solo second in last week’s poll, suffered a hardfought 35-29 overtime loss at unbeaten Smith on Friday night. Bishop McGuinness continued its strong early play with a 49-22 rout of South Davidson. The Villains (3-0) jumped from fourth to third with seven points. Three teams garnered a point to share fifth in the ratings. Southwest Guilford, ranked

third a week ago, dropped a 15-3 decision to T.W. Andrews on Friday night. The Cowboys stand 3-1 on the season. The Red Raiders (2-2) notched their second straight impressive win to crack the High Five. Southern Guilford (1-2), idle last week, also took one fifthplace vote. Six of the seven teams receiving votes are in action this week. In addition to Davie at Thomasville, Ragsdale plays host to Person County; Central and Andrews renew their storied rivalry at Simeon Stadium; Bishop travels to South Stokes; and Southern entertains Western Guilford. Southwest Guilford is off. mmckinney@hpe.com | 888-3520

WF center suspended WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Wake Forest has suspended junior center Tony Woods indefinitely following a recent arrest. Coach Jeff Bzdelik said Monday that Woods was suspended “in order to allow him to devote his time and effort to address the allegations that he is facing.” Woods was arrested last week and faces misdemeanor charges of assault inflicting serious injury, assault on a female and assault inflicting injury in the presence of a child. According to a report filed by Winston-Salem police, Woods is accused of kicking and pushing down the mother of his 1-year-old son, causing her to fracture her spine. Woods averaged about five points and three rebounds in 31 games last season. He faces a Sept. 30 court date.

Turnovers power Pack RALEIGH (AP) – N.C. State isn’t only taking care of the ball. The Wolfpack are taking it away, too. The ACC leaders in turnover margin have recovered three fumbles, intercepted three passes and haven’t turned the ball over. Through two games, they’re almost halfway to the 14 takeaways last year’s group had in all of 2009. That’s a big reason why the Wolfpack (2-0) are unbeaten heading into this week’s game against Cincinnati (1-1), and are off to their best start since 2002. N.C. State forced five turnovers, recovering a key fumble deep inside Wolfpack territory with less than a minute left, to preserve last week’s 28-21 victory at Central Florida. C.J. Wilson took one interception back 43 yards for a touchdown, and breakout linebacker Audie Cole also picked off a pass as part of his 12-tackle effort. “I think we had to find out exactly who and what we were on defense,” coach Tom O’Brien said Monday. “Certainly, winning the football game on defense, the way that it was won, was a great confidence-builder for the defense.”

Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Moore (3) is helped off the field after being sacked during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 31-18 loss to the Giants at New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Moore improves, set to start CHARLOTTE (AP) – Carolina Panthers coach John Fox has no plans to turn to rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen just yet. Three end zone interceptions and a lost fumble won’t be enough for Matt Moore to lose his starting job – as long as he’s recovered from a concussion in time for Sunday’s home opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fox said Moore was “feeling way better” on Monday, a day after he was knocked out of the game and sent to the hospital for evaluation following a hard, blind-side hit by Osi Umenyiora in the final minutes of the New York Giants’ 31-18 win. But Fox said he may have suffered the concussion on the previous drive, when he lost a fumble after a hard hit by Mathias Kiwanuka, one of four times Moore was sacked. “I think he landed on the back of his head on a fumble play,” Fox said. “But I don’t know that for a fact.” It marked the second straight year of poor quarterback play in Week 1 for the Panthers. And just like last year, when Fox stuck with Jake Delhomme af-

ter five turnovers against Philadelphia, Fox provided no hesitation when asked if Moore would start against the Buccaneers if healthy. “Yes,” Fox said, defusing talk the Panthers might quickly turn to Clausen. But Moore, who didn’t speak to reporters Monday, will have to pass numerous mandated tests under stricter concussion rules to be allowed back on the field, making it possible Clausen could make his first NFL start in Week 2. “I’m ready to go,” Clausen said. “Obviously, Matt is day to day right now. I’m going to prepare just like I prepared last week.” The former Notre Dame star, who fell to the Panthers in the second round of the draft, threw two incomplete passes from his own end zone with Carolina trailing by two scores in the final moments of Sunday’s loss after Moore was sidelined. “It was a tough situation, but that’s what we get paid to do,” Clausen said. Fox said he’d be confident if Clausen had to play against Tampa Bay.

“That would be my expectation at any position with any backup,” Fox said. “He’s part of the football team and whether it’s injury or whatever, we expect them to step him and do a good job.” Moore, who finished 4-1 as a starter last season when Delhomme was sidelined with a broken finger, got off to a poor start in his first to open a season. He tossed an ill-advised, floating pass into a sea of Giants players in the end zone on Carolina’s second possession for an interception. His best work came on a 2minute drive at the end of the first half, when he completed 4 of 5 passes for 50 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith to give Carolina a 16-14 halftime lead. But the Panthers’ only points in the second half came on a safety, and Moore threw two more picks in the end zone. He finished 14 of 33 for 182 yards and a passer rating of 32.6 while facing constant pressure. “We didn’t execute well enough in the pass game,” Fox said. “I thought there were opportunities, but there are a lot of moving parts to the pass game.”

HIT AND RUN

ow that we’ve crowned U.S. Open champions at Flushing Meadows, we can slam the book on another season of golf and tennis majors. I always find that a major downer. Sure, we have a little more unfinished business on the links and courts. The PGA FedEx Cup has one big event remaining. The BMW Championship just ended Sunday in Lemont, Ill., setting the stage for the top 30 in points to compete one last time in the playoff-ending PGA Tour

Championship Sept. 23-26 in Atlanta. After that comes the Ryder Cup on Oct. 1-3 in Newport, Wales, followed by four PGA season-ending minor tournaments. As for tennis, Team USA travels to Bogota to battle Colombia in the Davis Cup World Group playoffs from Sept. 17-19. That’s kind of a bummer, as it marks the first time since 2005 and just the fourth time since 1981 the Americans have been relegated to the playoff round (i.e. the losers bracket) of the Davis Cup.

It also brings an end to Patrick McEnroe’s 10-year run as U.S. Davis Cup captain. He is resigning after this match. But take heart, tennis and golf fans. The Australian Open tennis championships crank up Jan. 17, 2011, in the land Down Under. The Masters tees off with round one from historic Augusta National on April 7, 2011. They’ll be here before you know it!

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

North Carolina is getting one key player back for this weekend’s home opener against Georgia Tech. The school announced Monday that tailback Shaun Draughn will play after sitting out against LSU due to the ongoing NCAA investigation. Draughn is the first of 13 players who missed the LSU game to be cleared by the NCAA and the school as the review continues into agent-related benefits and possible academic violations involving a tutor. School spokesman Kevin Best said Draughn won’t talk with the media until after Saturday’s game. Draughn has been practicing while his status was in question, though he’s listed alongside Johnny White and Anthony Elzy on a jumbled depth chart. Draughn ran for 866 yards and three scores in 2008 as a converted safety, then took the starting job in a timeshare with short-yardage specialist Ryan Houston last season. He ran for 567 yards before suffering a broken left shoulder blade, sidelining him for the last three games. Houston, who had scored 17 TDs in the past two seasons, is one of the 12 players whose status is still in doubt. And considering Johnny White fumbled away the first rushing attempt vs. LSU and the Heels (01) finished with 24 yards on the ground, Draughn could provide a big spark.

Nadal gets career slam NEW YORK (AP) – Rafael Nadal won his first U.S. Open title to complete a career Grand Slam, beating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 Monday in a thrilling final filled with fantastic shotmaking by both men and interrupted by a thunderstorm a day after it was postponed by rain. It’s Nadal’s third consecutive major championship and ninth overall. He is the seventh man in tennis history with at least one title from each Grand Slam tournament. Rain pushed the men’s final from Sunday to Monday for the third consecutive year, and play was interrupted for nearly two hours during the second set.

HP announces another acquisition NEW YORK (AP) – Hewlett Packard Co. has agreed to buy the security software provider ArcSight for about $1.5 billion, the company said Monday as it extends a recent spree of acquisitions. The deal is part of a strategy begun under former CEO Mark Hurd, with the company looking to grow outside the low-margin personal computer market. It agreed to buy the data storage maker 3Par for $2.07 billion just a few weeks ago after a bidding war with rival Dell Inc. The acquisitions have continued even after Hurd’s departure. He was forced to resign last month after an internal investigation found that he filed in-

Ex-IBM exec gets 6-month sentence NEW YORK – A tearful former IBM executive was sentenced to six months in prison Monday for his role in what prosecutors call the biggest hedge fund insider trading case in history. Robert Moffat, 54, of Ridgefield, Conn., was also ordered to pay a $50,000 fine by U.S. District Judge Deborah A. Batts following his guilty plea earlier this year to securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud.

Volkswagen hires new CEO for US NEW YORK – Volkswagen has named a former GM and Ford executive to lead its ambitious plans in the U.S., where it aims to triple sales in the next decade and run a car plant for first time since the late 1980s. Volkswagen AG announced Monday that Jonathan Browning, 51, will become CEO of Volkswagen Group of America on Oct. 1.

Airlines late more often in July NEW YORK – U.S. airlines were late more often in July than a year earlier, but there were only three planes stuck for more than three hours, the government said Monday. Although there were more late flights in July, the ontime rate for the country’s biggest airlines in the first seven months of this year was the third best in 16 years.

accurate expense reports related to an outside contractor. HP is suing Hurd, who has insisted he didn’t file his own expenses, to keep him out of a job at rival Oracle Corp. The most recent deal does not appear to have set HP on a markedly different path. “A software acquisition was highly expected for HP and the deal makes sense, providing a good fit with HP’s existing security offerings,” Barclays Capital analyst Ben Reitzes told investors in a research note Monday. ArcSight Inc., based in Certino, Calif., helps organizations keep tabs on the data flowing through their computer networks and analyze it for signs of hack-

ing, theft or fraud. It has about 412 employees and took in revenue in the most recent fiscal year of about $181 million, just under a third of it from federal government agencies. This isn’t HP’s first foray into security. It bought 3Com Corp. this year for $2.7 billion, giving HP network security products through 3Com’s TippingPoint division. On Monday, HP said it would offer ArcSight stockholders $43.50 per share in cash. That’s a 24 percent premium over the ArcSight’s closing share price Friday and a 54 percent premium over ArcSight’s last closing share price before news of a potential deal leaked.

Dollar Thrifty accepts Hertz offer PARK RIDGE, N.J. (AP) – Dollar Thrifty has accepted a new bid of about $1.43 billion from Hertz, which is battling Avis to acquire the rental car company and a bigger stake of the vacationers’ market. Dollar Thrifty Automotive Gro Inc.’s board said late Sunday that it accepted Hertz Global Holdings Inc.’s new $50 per share offer – from the $41 it offered in April – and amended the companies’ merger agreement. The offer was made in an attempt to thwart a rival $1.3 billion cash-andstock counteroffer by Avis Budget Group Inc., which raised the cash portion of its bid earlier this month. Dollar Thrifty’s stock climbed $1.74, or 3.6 percent, to $49.75 in early Monday trading, while shares of Hertz gained 71 cents, or 7.1 percent, to $10.76. Avis’ stock rose 27 cents, or 2.6 percent, to $10.49. The transaction would give Hertz a third more

sites around the globe, raising its total to 9,800. Hertz is already the world’s largest car rental company by locations, so its pursuit of the deal is rooted mostly in its desire to pump its leisure segment with the Dollar and Thrifty brands. Hertz, which had revenue of $7.1 billion last year, is roughly evenly split between business and vacation travelers, while Dollar Thrifty’s customers are mostly vacationers looking for cheap rentals. Dollar Thrifty had revenue of $1.55 billion. Hertz’s new offer gives Dollar’s stockholders $43.60 in cash for each share they own, which is $10.80 higher than the prior offer. Shareholders will also receive 0.6366 of a share of Hertz common stock and approximately $6.87 per share to be paid by Dollar Thrifty as a special cash dividend immediately prior to the acquisition’s completion.

Economic leaders predict bright future BUTTE, Mont. (AP) – Two of the biggest names in business say they see a bright future for the economy. Famed investor Warren Buffett says there will be no double-dip recession as some fear. He says banks are lending money again, businesses are hiring employees and he expects the country to come back stronger than ever. The chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. was speaking Monday via video to the Montana

Economic Development summit in Butte. Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer says there soon will be more technological advancement and invention than seen during the Internet era. He says that will help drive business growth. The conference was organized by U.S. Sen. Max Baucus. The Montana Democrat says it leaves “bickering and name-calling” back in Washington, D.C., so leaders can find good ideas.

Investors buoyed by banking rules, China’s growth NEW YORK (AP) – Investors looking for reassurances about the health of the global economy received just that Monday. Stocks extended their rally into a third week after global regulators agreed to new rules for how much money banks must hold in reserves, China reported its economy remains robust and companies announced a flurry of new takeovers. “The package of catalysts is a perfect backdrop for a market trying to confirm global economic growth,” said Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial. Dealmaking and the expansion in China further reduced worries about the economy falling back into recession, Krosby said. Investors entered trading in the U.S. Monday already heartened by the latest signs of growth out of China. The country reported industrial production accelerated again in August when many had predicted slower growth. Strong expansion in China is considered vital to a global recovery because if demand remains high there, it will offset sluggish growth in the U.S. where economic expansion is not as strong. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. were among the biggest gainers in the financial sector.

Powerful Igor churning far out in the Atlantic

Banks adjust to new global rules

MIAMI (AP) – Powerful Hurricane Igor roared far out in the Atlantic Monday, with forecasters expecting it to remain over open water through at least the end of the week. Igor was a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds near 150 mph (240 kph). The forecast track shows it staying well south of Bermuda for the next five days. It’s too early to tell if it might threat-

The building of the Bank for International Settlements, BIS, in Basel, Switzerland, is pictured on Sunday. Bank Chairman JeanClaude Trichet said leading central bankers who reached the deal Sunday in Basel were convinced that the new measures were a “fundamental strengthening of global capital standards” which would make a substantial contribution to economic stability and growth. Trichet declined to estimate how much

money banks would need to raise to meet the new requirements, but analysts expect the figure to run into the hundreds of billions dollars (euros). He also said he had “full confidence” that the measures would be implemented by U.S. authorities, despite their not fully having adopted the last round of Basel rules.

European savings banks warned that the new capital requirements could affect their lending by unfairly penalizing small, part-publicly owned institutions. “We see the danger that German banks’ ability to give credit could be significantly curtailed,” said Karl-Heinz Boos, head of the Association of German Public Sector Banks.

Wal-Mart introduces wireless plan NEW YORK (AP) – WalMart Stores Inc. said Monday that it is introducing the first cell phone plan that uses the chain’s own branding, further demonstrating its clout in getting special deals from wireless carriers. The Wal-Mart Family Mobile service will run on T-Mobile USA’s network. Unlimited calling and texting will cost $45 per month for the first line and $25 for each additional line for the family. The service will be offered starting next week

BUSINESS

BASEL, Switzerland (AP) – Bankers and analysts said new global rules could mean less money available to lend to businesses and consumers, but praised a decision to leave plenty of time – until 2019 – before the financial stability requirements come into full force. The so-called Basel III rules, which will gradually require banks to hold greater capital buffers to absorb potential losses, are likely to affect the credit industry by imposing stricter discipline on credit cards, mortgages and other loans. Requiring banks to keep more capital on hand will limit the amount of money they can lend, but it will make them better able to withstand the blow if many of those loans go sour. European Central

in most of its stores across the nation. Since last year, Wal-Mart has been the exclusive seller of the Straight Talk service, which runs on the Verizon Wireless network. Wal-Mart is also trying out another service from Sprint Nextel Corp. called Common Cents. Those are both “prepaid” plans, under which customers pay in advance and don’t need to sign contracts. Wal-Mart Family Mobile

will be “postpaid” like conventional contract-based plans, so the family bill is paid at the end of the month. But in other ways it works much like prepaid service, and it won’t come with a contract requirement or early termination fees. Buyers also won’t need to go through credit checks. Greg Hall, vice president of merchandising at WalMart U.S., said there’s a perception among customers that prepaid service

doesn’t offer access to the best phones or the best network quality. He said the postpaid nature of the plan is a way to avoid that. Starting Monday, the chain plans to sell five phones, including a fullblown smart phone, the Motorola Cliq XT, which will cost $249. T-Mobile sells it for $329 without a contract, or gives it away to buyers who sign two-year contracts (with monthly fees that are higher than the no-contract option).

Two homes feared lost in Colorado fire LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) – Authorities in Colorado say a wildfire that destroyed at least 166 homes was most likely sparked by a fire pit. Boulder County sheriff’s Cmdr. Rick Brough said Monday that a homeowner made a fire in the pit days before the wildfire broke out and doused it with water and stirred the ashes to put it out. Investigators believe gusty winds Sept. 6 reignited the embers and blew them out of the fire pit, starting the wildfire that turned into one of the worst in the state’s history. Authorities haven’t decided whether the owner will face criminal charges. More residents who lost homes in that fire were able to return to see the damage Monday. About 300 firefighters, meanwhile, were fighting another wildfire about 35 miles away near Loveland.

en land beyond that. Igor was about 880 miles (1,420 kilometers) east of the Northern Leeward Islands and moving west near 10 mph (17 kph). A turn toward the west-northwest was expected Monday night or today, the National Hurricane Center said. Also in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Julia was moving west, away from the southern Cape Verde Islands.
