HIGH POINT – Feel lost amid the drawn-out battle for health care reform?

You’re not alone.

In fact, you are probably part of a majority of Americans who want health care “fixed” but don’t know how to get it there.

Amid heated arguments among Congressional members, impassioned speeches by President Barack Obama and strong opinions from area and state leaders, even those who work closely with the health-care system are among those who are scratching their heads to come up with an answer.

“I don’t know how you tackle this,” said Jerri White, director of the Community Clinic of High Point on N. Main Street. “It’s bigger than me. I can only function on

Influx of uninsured stretches resources. 2A

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Most health care assistance programs in Guilford County will say the same thing about patient traffic seeking ways to cover health care costs.

It has multiplied by the hundreds in recent years.

A report released this summer by Families USA, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and health care lobbyist, revealed 1,480 North Carolinians were losing their health care coverage every week as costs increased and the unemployment rate continued to rise.

The stress of that increase is first placed on the average citizen, according to health

care officials, who have seen a change in the individuals who walk through their doors.

“The population requesting assistance has changed and increased,” said Vikki Berrier, patient access manager at High Point Regional Health System. “Those people who are now unemployed that typically wouldn’t have been unemployed in years past are seeking assistance.”

In the country’s current health care system, individuals rely heavily on their employers to provide health coverage. Once they have been laid off from a job, they must seek private insurance or remain uninsured.

“The self-paid or uninsured population really is growing,” said Berrier, who works in the hospital’s Revenue Cycle Management Department that provides funding for patient’s who can’t afford to pay health care costs. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

GUILFORD COUNTY – A performance bonus program for low-performing Guilford County schools could help to raise student achievement significantly, a former Charlotte reform leader told school district leaders Saturday.

John Modest Jr., former principal of West Charlotte High School in Mecklenburg County, saw local officials pump $18 million over several years into low-performing schools, including West Charlotte High.

Once again, Modest is working for Superintendent Mo Green as northern region superintendent.

Green was one of Modest’s supervisors in Charlotte. “Sometimes it takes everyone buying into a proj-

ect for it to work,” Green told the Board of Education during a retreat. “The bonus money went to everyone at the school right down to the custodians.”

As part of a high school “challenge,” West Charlotte High teachers and staff earned 15 percent bonuses for reaching achievement goals.

“The Board of Commissioners does not respond to the stick on these issues,” said board member Jeff Belton. “We should think about how to reset things with the commissioners to help us.”

Guilford County district leaders are forming improvement plans for 10 low- performing schools. A leading district goal is to have no low-performing schools by 2012.

Results could be announced as soon as Thursday.

“This takes the whole medical community.”

Likewise, Vikki Berrier, patient access manager, said High Point Regional has looked for new ways to maintain funding. “The need has changed, which has resulted in us being creative with the resources we have for our patients.”

“We all depend on the resources in our community,” said White about funding that the clinic receives through donations, the state and organizations such as High Point Regional Health System.

pay for the costs of uninsured patients.

With 74 free clinics in North Carolina, more than in any other state, Jerri White, director of the Community Clinic on N. Main Street, said the clinic’s budget is balanced so far, but expenses are always stretching.

White said patient visi-

mind, because I had health issues,” he said about losing health coverage. “Where else would I have turned to besides the Community Clinic? I have no idea.”

Burrow has diabetes and visits the clinic, which charges a dispensing fee for prescriptions of about $5 to patients who can afford the cost, because he can’t find employment in the area. He said he also has health issues that keep him from working jobs that require physical labor.

“You put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into your job,” said the 58-year-old. “They should continue to cover you and reciprocate that. I think everyone that pays taxes deserves health care.”

Likewise, 44-year-old Edith Lyons, also a diabetic, lost her health care coverage when her husband was laid off from his job in Florida. The two then moved to North Carolina. Before she visited the Community Clinic, Lyons said she couldn’t afford to regularly buy medication, and

a local level with this.” As the only free clinic in Guilford County that doesn’t turn patients away, that’s exactly what White has had to do as a growing number of North Carolinians lose their health care and become incapable of buying medicine or paying for a doctor’s visit.

White has watched the volume of patients increase at the clinic, which is funded by the state and charitable donations, for the past several years. She attributes that increase to the rise of unemployment in the area.

“Our patient ratios haven’t changed,” she said, referring to demographics, “but we might be seeing more people who have anxiety. People are worried about the economy.”

Mike Burrow became one of those worried patients who lost his health care when he was laid off from a carpentry plant in High Point two years ago, where he had been employed for one and a half years.

“That was the first thing on my

her condition was worsening.

“There are people like me who literally could have died if it wasn’t for this clinic,” she said. “I think all Americans should have health care. There are a lot of people out there suffering.”

In the meantime, White is managing the Community Clinic, operated by volunteers, and serving patients like Burrow and Lyons as best she can. Burrows said the clinic had been such a blessing to his life that he hoped to find the time to volunteer there one day to return the favor.

Despite the clinic’s current success, however, White knows something needs to happen soon.

“It seems everybody is donating right now, and that’s how we’re making it. But the people becoming uninsured are growing faster than our resources.”

The new health care plan will not change the current coverage of the Americans who have insurance through their employers, Medicare, Medicaid or the Veteran’s Association: • Under this plan there will be no denial of a pre-existing condition.

• As soon as the bill is signed into law it will be illegal to impose caps on coverage and to water down services. There would be a cap on price paid out of pocket.

• Insurance companies will have to pay for routine exams and preventative care.

The health care plan will benefit today’s uninsured in a variety of ways: • For individuals who lose a job, change a job or start their own business, affordable options will be available under a new health insurance exchange that will be open to competition for insurance companies.

• For small businesses and individuals who can’t afford the lowestpriced insurance in the exchange, there will be tax credits available based on needs.

Individuals will be required to carry some level of health insurance and small businesses will be required to offer health care or “chip in” to cover insurance coverage.

• There will be a hardship waiver for those individuals who can’t afford coverage.

The President said he would not sign a plan that adds to the current deficit, but would modify waste and abuse in existing health insurance plans to pay for the $990 billion plan in 10 years.

Apparent domestic dispute results in standoff

BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – An incident that began as an apparent domestic dispute early Saturday resulted in an all-day standoff in north High Point.

High Point Police received a call at 8:10 a.m.

Saturday that an armed man was holed up in a house on Marywood Drive, according to Capt.

Eddie McCluney.

A

woman and children who were inside the house were able to leave, and the situation was not one in which hostages were involved.

There were reports of shots fired before police arrived, but McCluney said he had heard none since he’d been on the scene.

vice and fire personnel were on hand. High Point police called the Greensboro Police Department’s Tactical Team to relieve them, since the incident had been going on all day, McCluney said.

Marywood were blocked.

Residents near the neighborhood were told of the situation and given the opportunity to leave, but they were not required to evacuate.

By late Saturday, police had entered the house and were letting people go back in the neighborhood, but there was no information on how the incident was resolved.

HILLSBOROUGH – Two young men who were once students at the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics in Durham were sentenced to a minimum of nearly five years in prison for breaking into the Rite Aid drug store at Eastgate Shopping Center in Chapel Hill in April.

Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway sentenced Proctor to four years and 10 months in prison to six years and one month in the N.C. Department of Correction after he pleaded guilty to attempted trafficking of heroin or other opiates, a Class C felony.

Man charged with injuring N.C. officer ZEBULON (AP) – South Carolina authorities have arrested a man involved in a police chase that left a North Carolina officer with a broken leg, multiple media outlets reported Saturday.

Jason Earl Anthony, 32, of Wake Forest, was arrested late Friday in Greenville County, S.C., after a carjacking there.

That’s when authorities realized he was wanted by North Carolina police.

Two Zebulon police officers approached Anthony’s truck earlier Friday after noticing it matched a description from a vehicle used in a convenience store robbery in the area.

Authorities say Anthony pinned Officer Brandon Atwood with his car door and dragged the officer several yards before running over him.

Anthony also fired a gun three times but did not hit anyone, police said.

North Carolina troopers saw the truck north of town and started chasing it until it crashed into a ditch, Trooper D.B. Simmons said. The driver, who authorities think was Anthony, got out and ran, and the other three people in the truck were detained.

Anthony is being held without bond on charges including attempted murder of a police officer, larceny and resisting arrest.

It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Atwood has a broken leg but has been released from the hospital.

ricane Katrina; widespread destruction last year from Hurricane Ike. But Hugo remains the storm to which all others are still compared in South Carolina. The storm claimed 13 of its 49 victims in the state and one in North Carolina, according to the National Weather Service.

The eye crossed Charleston about midnight on Sept.

21, 1989, its fiercest winds hammering the sea islands northeast of town and the shrimping community of McClellanville 30 miles up the coast. After blustering through Sumter and Columbia, the storm was still a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 85 mph when it passed just west of Charlotte, N.C. When it was over, Hugo, which earlier churned through the Caribbean, had caused $6 billion in damage.

Twenty years later, officials say technology, better building standards and better planning mean South Carolina is in a better position to deal with another Hugo. “The city is stronger now and more beautiful now than at any time in its history,� said Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr., who spent the night Hugo hit in City Hall as winds ripped off the building’s roof.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – Twenty years after Hurricane Hugo pounded the South Carolina coast with 135 mph winds, driving inland and then sweeping into North Carolina, memories from the storm are still vivid: • At Lincoln High School in McClellanville, residents seeking shelter in the school gym climbed onto the stage, holding children above their heads to save them from the storm surge; • Near the Isle of Palms, boats were tossed into a pile like toys and only concrete pilings were left where oceanfront homes once stood. • In Charlotte, N.C., 170 miles inland, trees snapped and power lines fell, leaving the area in the dark for days.

The day after Hugo, which smashed ashore 20 years ago Monday, residents awoke to the surreal scene of helicopters flying overhead and National Guardsmen patrolling Charleston’s historic district with its smashed store windows and tangle of downed utility lines.

The nation has witnessed other storms since: devastating flooding in North Carolina from Hurricane Floyd a decade ago in that state’s worst natural disaster; residents trapped on rooftops in New Orleans after Hur-

The knife, wrapped in plastic and kept in a white box, was shown to the eight-member jury in Perugia, in central Italy, during the trial of Amanda Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito.

The two are on trial on charges of murder and sexual violence for the 2007 death of Meredith Kercher. They deny wrongdoing.

Official: Mumbai suspects ready to be charged ISLAMABAD – A Pakistani court will indict seven suspects in the Mumbai attacks in the coming week, but India needs to provide evidence against the head of a banned Islamist group Pakistan is investigating in the plot, a top official said Saturday.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik’s statements appeared designed largely to assure India that Pakistan is serious about bringing justice to the perpetrators of the November siege that killed 166 people and ratcheted up tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals.

“I want to tell India that we want to be your friend,” Malik told reporters in Islamabad.

Pakistan police raid U.S.-contracted security firm ISLAMABAD – Police raided a Pakistani security firm that helps protect the U.S. Embassy on Saturday, seizing 70 allegedly unlicensed weapons and arresting two people. The incident follows a series of scandals surrounding American use of private contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, a Pakistani official says a bomb blast has killed two people at a security checkpoint in the country’s northwest. Khan says police are still investigating if the Saturday bombing was a suicide attack.

It was unclear whether police or civilians were killed.

Iraqis inspect a damaged bakery shop in Mahmoudiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad, Saturday. A car bomb exploded Friday, killing seven people and wounding 21.

Iraq arrests three antiquities traffickers BAGHDAD (AP) – Authorities in northern Iraq have arrested three men on charges they were trying to traffic stolen antiquities, including the bust of a Sumerian king, a local army commander said Saturday.

The three were arrested in a sting operation after attempting to sell one of the artifacts for $160,000 to an undercover intelligence officer of the Iraqi Army’s 12th division in a village southwest of Kirkuk, division commander Maj. Gen. Abdul Amir al-Zaidi told reporters.

The sting operation,

which took place around two weeks ago, was set up based on intelligence from local residents, he said.

“The duty of Iraqi army is not only to chase the terrorists but also to protect state treasures,” he said.

In total the men had eight pieces from the Sumerian period, which dates from around 4000 B.C. to 2000 B.C., that they were trying to sell.

A fourth man is still being sought in the case, al-Zaidi said. He gave no further details.

Elsewhere in Iraq on Saturday, a roadside bomb

killed an 11-year-old boy and wounded his two friends in the violence-plagued northern city of Mosul.

The bomb exploded around 4 p.m. after a police patrol that was the apparent target had already passed by, a Mosul police officer said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.

An off-duty Iraqi soldier was also killed in Mosul in a drive-by shooting, he said.

Mosul is in an area rife with tension between Arabs and Kurds over territory.

Russian navy considering buying French-built ship MOSCOW (AP) – Russia has been negotiating the possible purchase of a military ship built in France, a Russian deputy defense minister said Saturday.

Vladimir Popovkin said it’s too early to say whether an agreement

for buying a Mistral-class helicopter carrier can be reached, but he said it could mark an important step in modernizing the Russian navy.

If a deal goes through, it would be the first foreign ship Russia’s navy has bought in decades,

Police arrest suspect in 4 killings in Virginia

Protesters to focus on issues at G-20 summit PITTSBURGH (AP) – An anti-war group plans to set up a tent city during the Group of Twenty economic summit next week to focus attention on the plight of women and children made refugees by war.

The group, Code Pink, will be among many groups and thousands of activists aiming to use the G-20 summit to spotlight causes including the environment and social injustice.

History shows protesters can successfully use media-saturated events to push their causes, such as when demonstrators at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul were credited with forcing South Korea’s shift to democracy, said Mauro

FARMVILLE, Va. (AP) – A man suspected of killing four people in a central Virginia college town was arrested at an airport Saturday, where he apparently tried to catch a flight to California, authorities said.

Richard Alden Samuel McCroskey III, 20, was arrested by Richmond International Airport police officers who found him asleep in the baggage claim area, said airport spokesman Troy Bell.

Farmville police found the bodies Friday in the home of Debra Kelly, an associate professor of sociology and criminal justice studies at Longwood University.

Man in terror probe cancels on FBI again

BRIEFS

Union says it warned about patient outings SEATTLE – Two days after an insane killer escaped from a field trip organized by his mental hospital, the union that represents mental hospital workers said it had become concerned about the type of patients allowed to participate in such outings.

Police continued to search Saturday for 47year-old Phillip Arnold Paul, who walked away from the Spokane County Fair during an outing Thursday with 30 other Eastern State Hospital patients.

Dog leaps out window during robbery NEW YORK – New York City police say two men escaped a gang of armed robbers by jumping out a second-story window, but a pit bull died after he leaped after his owner and hanged himself from his chain.

Police say the pit bull had been chained up in the Bronx living room early Friday when three armed men broke down the door. The residents jumped out of the window safely. But when the dog tried to follow them, its chain wasn’t long enough to reach the ground.

Police are searching for suspects in the home invasion.

Arts allocations reflect weak economy ed to affiliates comes from the arts council’s annual fund drive. The arts council reduced its drive goal from the $300,000 of recent past years to $250,000. For budgeting purposes for allocations, the arts council budgeted $210,000. So far, about $157,500 has been raised, and the drive will continue through the end of the calendar year.

If $210,000 is not raised, allocations will be reduced later. Most of the affiliates receive allocations in quarterly installments.

HIGH POINT – The High Point Area Arts Council has announced allocations to its affiliate groups that reflect the weak economy and a stalled fund drive.

The five affiliate groups received a total of $98,000, down from $178,000 last year. Last year, however, the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival was an affiliate, and it ended its relationship with the arts council in June. Excluding the $75,000 the Shakespeare Festival received from last year’s figures, this year’s total allocation was 4.1 percent less than last year’s.

The only two groups whose allocations varied considerably from the 4.1 percent reduction were High Point Ballet, which received more than last year, and High Point Community Theatre, which received less.

In 2006, the arts council adopted a tiered allocations formula based

on groups’ income, and that formula still is being phased in.

High Point Ballet was underfunded when the formula was adopted and still is in the process of receiving the maximum amount for its position in the tier, Lumpkins said. In addition, the dance group plans a new children’s drama group next year.

Community Theatre in 2006 received more than it should have according to the formula, and it is still in the process of being phased down. Community Theatre also received less

because it gets free office and rehearsal space in the arts council’s offices at 301 N. Main St. The city allocated money to the arts council for rental of the space.

Both groups are expected to reach their permanent positions in the tier in 2010-2011, Lumpkins said.

The arts council also receives money raised through the fund drive for its operations, its own programs and grants to community arts groups.

Shirley JonesByrd of Trinity plays a role in the movie “Gospel Hill,” which stars Angela Bassett and Danny Glover.

Jones-Byrd plays the role of a grandmother in the movie, filmed in Rock Hill, S.C., in July 2007. She was a first runner-up in the 2009 Ms. North Carolina Senior America pageant.

Festival with silver lining

Clouds don’t deter spirited Day in the Park “(The turnout is) down a little bit, but it’s better than we expected, with the threat of rain,” said Debbie Lumpkins, executive director of the High Point Area Arts Council, which sponsors the festival.

She said it traditionally draws 4,000 to 5,000 people and estimated Saturday’s crowd at about 3,000.

“I think the weather has kept some people away, but people were calling us last night saying, ‘We have out of town guests with us and we’re really looking forward to it,’ ” said Lumpkins.

High Point’s Sesquicentennial, which is being observed this year, was a theme at the festival. Artists worked on a mural depicting the history of the city, and fiber artist Victoria Sowers was weaving a “fabric time capsule” on a 200-year-old loom.

“It’s got tap shoes and a costume and a musical section with a flute,” said Sowers. “It will have all art forms represented.”

Sowers hoped to finish the nine-foot long taptestry by the end of the festival before giving it to the arts council, which plans to display it in High Point.

JAMESTOWN – Sunlight scarcely cut through hovering clouds, but the uncertain weather wasn’t going to keep members of the Guilford Militia from providing a history lesson at the 39th annual Day in the Park festival Saturday.

The outfit was among the historical re-enactment groups, craftsmen and others on display at the folklife area during the event at High Point City Lake Park.

Its members, dressed as the real militia would have been around the time of the Revolutionary War, had everything from muskets to antique utensils on hand to convey a sense of what life was like in the 18th Century.

“We have a living history demonstration here,” said Cathy Brown, who was cooking meat over a fire.

“We’re showing how people used to live, used to dress, used to cook.” The festival, a popular destination for families with children, offered a lot more than a look into the past, with a variety of musical performances, craft and food vendors, as well as train and carousel rides among the attractions.

LENOIR – The memory of a young man, whose life was cut short one year ago in the line of duty, will forever be remembered by the Caldwell County community.

During a special memorial service Friday, members of local law enforcement agencies, their families and other community leaders joined the family and friends of former Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Adam Klutz to honor him for his bravery and courage.

Officers shared memories of a young man who wanted nothing more than to protect and serve his community. Caldwell County Sheriff Alan Jones spoke about how eager Klutz was to patrol the roads and the many times he reached out to help others. He said Klutz always took pride in what he did and encouraged others to enjoy the little things.

“The night that Klutz died was one of the most tragic nights of my life,” said Jones. “I cannot even begin to think about what it was like for the family.

But tonight, we gather to remember someone who never will be forgotten.”

Winston-Salem mayor cited after car hits bus MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Winston-Salemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor, Allen Joines, was cited Thursday for failing to stop at a stoplight after his city-owned car collided with a bus in downtown Raleigh, authorities said.

Firefighters cook out

Kelly Grooms was the barbecue master at the third annual HPFD Firefighter Family Cookout, held at the Oak Hollow sailboat marina on Saturday.

Ex-aide says Edwards fathered mistressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; child CHAPEL HILL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A man who once claimed to have fathered the child of John Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mistress says in a book proposal the former presidential candidate is the real father and that Edwards and worked with his campaign finance chairman to hide that secret, according to a newspaper report published online Saturday.

The New York Times said the book proposal by former Edwards aide Andrew Young states he helped facilitate the affair between Edwards and Rielle Hunter. According to the newspaper, Young wrote that Edwards once told Hunter they would wed after Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wife, who has cancer, died.

Edwards told Hunter that the ceremony would be held on a rooftop in New York and the Dave Matthews Bands would make an appearance, the newspaper said, citing its examination of the book proposal.

St. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Press has said Young signed a book deal with the publisher in June and it involved a strict confidentiality agreement. A spokesman

for the publisher did not immediately return a phone message and e-mail seeking comment Saturday.

Edwards has said the affair with Hunter ended in 2006. That year, Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; political action committee paid Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s video production firm $100,000 for work. Then the committee paid another $14,086 on April 1, 2007. The Edwards camp has said the latter payment from the PAC was exchanged for 100 hours of unused videotape Hunter shot.

The same day, the Edwards presidential campaign had injected $14,034.61 into the PAC for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;furniture purchase,â&#x20AC;? according to federal election records.

Edwards, a U.S. senator representing North Carolina from 1998 until his vice presidential bid in 2004, acknowledged in May that federal investigators are looking into how he used campaign funds. Grand jury proceedings are secret, and the U.S. attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office in Raleigh has declined to confirm or deny an investigation.

First Presbyterian celebrates rich history in city I

t all began with Sunday meetings over 150 years ago under an old oak tree when High Point was a village with about 390 villagers.

Those were the beginnings of the First Presbyterian Church, now cozily nestled on the corner of North Main Street and Parkway. Most High Pointers will recognize this as the church across from ABOUT Krispy TOWN Kreme. Now I know that Mary everybody Bogest recognizes ■■■ First Presbyterian Church. It is undoubtedly one of the most magnificent architectural structures in the Triad.

Last week First Presbyterian Church celebrated their illustrious history and the dedication of the new Family Life Center. As I learned about this new construction my curiosity piqued at the thought of how this “modern” addition would harmonize with the “historic” sanctuary first built in 1928. As building progressed I began to marvel that from the outside facade it seemed impossible to decipher where the “old” ended and the “new” began. Like many historic preservationists I was more than elated at this “new” architectural feat.

I felt very honored when Ann Busby called asked me to join the celebration of history “past” and “present” of First Presbyterian Church. Busby, who was on the 150th Anniversary planning team regretted that she would be out of town for the celebration but adroitly put me under the care of Pat Plaxico along with Lyl and Aaron Clinard. They were wonderful hosts to me for the celebration but I bet you already surmised that.

The celebration began with the Worship Service.

Throughout the sanctuary was a special feeling, an aura of the ensuing celebration as the Carolina Brass musically embraced the moment with selections such as Aaron Copeland’s “Simple Gifts” and J.S. Bach’s “My Spirit Be Joyful.” Everyone’s spirit was joyful as Senior Minister Dr. Kenneth Broman-Fulks began the aptly entitled sermon, “Unless the Lord Builds it.”

This is where the story of the meetings under the oak tree continues. The year was 1857 and the village of High Point was primarily of the Quaker Faith. Reverend Pleasant Hunter Dalton (many of his descendants are still active church members) and Eli Denny, a prominent property owner felt a Presbyterian Church was needed in the area. They went literally door to door to get members.

In 1859 the First Presbyterian Church of High Point was organized with a charter membership of eleven people! The first church structure was completed in 1860. Remember, this was right before the Civil War and there were many difficulties. Often they had no minister so they ministered themselves. For a period of time during the Civil War, the church served as a hospital.

Meanwhile the membership gradually increased as the village also transformed while gaining the reputation of furniture and textile manufacturers. Today the First Presbyterian has 942 members. As Broman-Fulks spoke of the rich history, he explained that a “church” is not a building but a “church” is the people who come to worship.

Bagpiper Dr. Jim Wilson who is the parish associate led a processional of the members to the new Family Life Center for the dedication followed by a covered dish luncheon (yummy, yummy).

As the processional began I was warmly greeted by the Clinards. They were both bursting with joy. Yes, they were very pleased about the new addition but were even more ecstatic to have their son Neal home from deployment in the Middle East and their daughter MacLean visiting from San Diego!

Lyl, who is moderator (president) of the Presbyterian Women told me that the, “Family Life Center will bring enhancement and opportunities to our whole downtown,” a sentiment that you know Aaron, chairman of Core City High Point echoes. Aaron wanted me to meet the architect and I was anxious to give him my compliments. As we entered the grand room we spotted Gray Hudson of WKWW Architects. I asked him what was the biggest challenge of the addition. He told me it was difficult to match the stones to the originals of the 1920s.... but they did it. He also noted that it was a challenge to use the limited space on the premises. There was little room for expansion and yet the plans called for activity rooms, music rooms, robing rooms, offices, classrooms and the big all-purpose room that could be used as an ac-

Pictured are Chuck Ledford (from left), who led the campaign fund drive and served on the building committee, building committee member Pat Plaxico, Lyl Clinard, moderator (president) of the Presbyterian Women and Paul Bobb, chairman of the building committee. tivity center (it can double as a basketball court) and used to serve the many ministries of the church including the Guilford Interfaith Hospitality Network. They did it.

A hip-hip-hooray should go to Paul Bobb, chairman of the building committee who spent countless hours daily for almost two years working with the contractors. He was presented with an engraved shovel for his efforts. Others on the committee are Chuck Ledford. Ledford was also the chairman of the campaign funding and raised close to $4 million (that gets a Wow)! and proudly stated, “This came out far beyond our expectations.” Also on the committee was David Tillson. This is interesting because Tillson’s father was Reginald Drury Tillson who was the landscape architect responsible for the original landscaping of the church and also for the landscaping at City Lake Park. John Grein, Hunt Dalton, Doyle Early and Plaxico also served on the committee.

Plaxico, who played hostess to me was involved with the interior design for all of the rooms. Kudos to all.

U.S. Congressman Howard Coble stopped by to give his congratulations to his fellow Presbyterians. Former senior minister Dr. R. Scott Woodmansee came from Davidson for the dedication.

Woodmansee congratulated Broman-Fulks who told him, “This is a dream come true for us and our ministries.

Now we can reach out to the community in so many ways.”

with more covered dishes that you can even imagine, Lyl pointed out that four generations of a family were seated at the next table. Naturally I had to investigate. There I found the oldest member of the church, Mama Dean Miller.

Her daughter Sara Ledford donated the flowers in the church in honor of her late husband Chuck LedfordSr., celebrate Sara Katherine Kirkpatrick’s (fourth generation) 16th birthday. The third generation included Ledford’s children: sons Chuck, Hank and Mike and daughter Sallye Kirkpatrick. The fourth generation attending in addition to Sara was Chuck’s daughter Carly and Mike’s son Luke. Whew!

Music continued to filled the Family Life Center for the community open house.

This was a celebration for the whole community. Broman-Fulks said it, “Unless the Lord builds it, those who build will labor in vain.”

They did not labor in vain!

LAKEWOOD, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The City Council and mayor are trying to protect an ornate Roman Catholic church that was slated to be closed by the Diocese of Cleveland.

City officials have proposed an ordinance that would prohibit the diocese or any future owner from tearing down St. James Church or gutting its interior.

The towering stone building is one of 52 parishes in the eight-county diocese slated to be eliminated by next year through mergers and closings.

The proposed regula-

---

tion would protect any structure that the city designates a historical or cultural landmark. It is designed specifically to save the church and is on track to become law next month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can challenge it legally, and there would be a fight,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Ed FitzGerald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on solid ground.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making sure they have due process.â&#x20AC;?

Robert Tayek, a diocesan spokesman, said in a statement that the diocese â&#x20AC;&#x153;is taking the matter under advisement to determine how to interact with the city in this matter.â&#x20AC;?

The church was built over 10 years beginning in 1925 and has polished marble, granite sculptures, carved oak and inlaid ceramic tiles.

Architectural historian Tim Barrett, who works for the city of Cleveland, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filled with fine stone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;St. James is one of the most exotic buildings in the region,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a total experience walking into that building. It really is one of a kind.â&#x20AC;?

Thomasville residents must support its businesses I read and reread Terry Hill’s letter of Sept. 14 (“Elected officials should listen to the people”) and felt a need to respond to a very naive and uninformed message.

As a nearly 40-year resident of Thomasville, I have had the opportunity to observe the decline of Thomasville’s downtown as well as the problems with developing first rate retail merchants of multiple types. I firsthand have experienced the frustrating attempt to establish a luncheon restaurant of quality in the old Belk building downtown as “volunteer help” to my wife for the better part of my first 10 years of retirement from the practice of medicine.

The biggest issue that hinders efforts in Thomasville is a lack of support from the citizens of Thomasville. Many locals will not support downtown businesses, but will take their dollars to larger Triad cities for services and products that are available here for no increased expense. My wife’s business had a core of faithful and delightful customers, but many who could have been supportive chose the larger and more expensive venues in Guilford and Forsyth counties.

The local city managers and the Chamber of Commerce have been nothing but supportive of downtown development. Many good friends have invested many thousands of dollars and time (sweat equity) toward the restoration of downtown and its economy.

PACE, City Beautification, the Historical Society and others are working to restore downtown to economic vibrancy. The mayor,

ing about lost opportunities, we are looking for opportunities to make the City of High Point a better place to live and work.

--Thomasville City Council, city manager and many others are working hard and “together” for progress.

Hill needs to learn a lot more about what is really going on before being seriously considered as a candidate for mayor.

TOM BYRNES JR. Thomasville

Businesses outside Core City Plan area are important, too I am somewhat shocked to learn that Tom Blount thinks other people have no right to their own opinion. In last Sunday’s column on the Opinion page he says: “It’s amazing, given the number of times The High Point Enterprise has quoted those-who-know and has stated the case about

‘downtown’ in editorials, many of you still don’t get it.”

Yes indeed, there are quite a few High Pointers who, no matter how many times you print your opinion and the opinion of others about the uptown section of High Point, have a different opinion. In fact, there are many High Pointers who do. We are property owners outside of the Core City Plan, and believe it or not, we are many in numbers!

Certainly, you and those involved with the Core City Plan must know that the land outside the designated Core City Plan area, is owned by taxpaying citizens as well.

I do believe we have reached a point we must work together to create jobs for the unemployed in High Point and surrounding area.

We asked if the $10,000 fine for Serena Williams’ outburst in the U.S. Open tennis tournament sufficient? Here are two final responses: • The judge should have apologized because there was no overstepping. Serena’s outburst was wrong, the fine more than sufficient. The judge who wronged her should be fined, too.

• The $10,000 fine is just a token response to the outrage demonstrated by Serena Williams. Her use of profanity should result in banning her from future U.S. Open tennis tournaments.

ACORN allegations spawn cuts

O

nce it finally germinated in the U.S. Congress last week, this ACORN controversy/scandal grew wildly and put the future of the liberal-leaning, communitybased, nonprofit advocacy organization in a bind, at least temporarily.

For several days prior to congressional action cutting ACORN funding, the story of how a few workers had been videoed allegedly advising inquirers how to skirt, if not violate, law in setting up an illicit business had overtaken conservative message boards like kudzu along a North Carolina highway.

A target of conservatives since allegations last year of election fraud by its workers, ACORN, which stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has received more than $50 million in congressional appropriations over the years. And it stood to receive much, much more until the U.S. Census Bureau earlier decided not to contract with the group to help conduct next year’s census. Then last week, the House and Senate voted overwhelmingly to cut off funding to the group through government contracts that it previously had won or was seeking.

Initially, some ACORN supporters reacted by shouting racism and verbally attacking the freelance investigative journalists who made the videos. But its leaders have at least fired several employees and launched an internal probe. And certainly, we don’t believe that these allegations mean ACORN workers as a whole are corrupt.

But on behalf of U.S. taxpayers, Congress should investigate this group’s activities, especially the voter fraud allegations, and its financial ties with the government. Some members of Congress are quick to hold hearings when questions arise about fraud and fiscal mismanagement issues that involve conservatives or conservative causes. They should be as quick in this circumstance.

Don’t remake entire system to tackle problems of a few

M

any years ago, as a small child, I was told one of those old-fashioned fables for children. It was about a dog with a bone in his mouth, who was walking on a log across a stream.

The dog looked down into the water and saw his reflection. He thought it was another dog with a bone in his mouth – and it seemed to him that the other dog’s bone was bigger than his. He decided that he was going to take the other dog’s bone away and opened his mouth to attack. The result was that his own bone fell into the water and was lost.

At the time, I didn’t like that story and wished they hadn’t told it to me. But the passing years and decades have made me realize how important it was, because it was not really about dogs but about people.

Today we are living in a time when the president of the United States is telling us that he is going to help us take that other dog’s bone away – and the end result is likely to be very much like what it was in that children’s fable.

Whether we are supposed to take that bone away from the doctors, the hospitals, the pharmaceutical companies or the insurance companies, the net result is likely to be the same – most of us will end up with worse medical care than we have available today.

We will have opened our mouth and dropped a very big bone into the water.

While I was told a story in my childhood to help me understand something about the real world, today adults are being told things to reduce them to childish thinking.

The most childish of all the things being said in the august setting of the recent joint session of Congress was that millions of people can be added to the government’s health insurance plan without increasing the federal deficit at all. If the president of the United States could do that, it is hard to imagine what he would do as an encore.

Walking on water would be an anticlimax.

What is equally childish is the notion that the great majority of Americans who have medical insurance, and who say they are satisfied with it, should be panicked and stampeded into supporting vast increases in the arbitrary power of Washington bureaucrats to take medical decisions out of the hands of their doctors – all ostensibly because a

minority of Americans do not have medical insurance.

There was a time, within living memory, when most Americans did not have health insurance – and it was not the end of the world, as so many in politics and the media seem OPINION to be depicting it today.

As someone who lived Thomas through that era, and who Sowell spent decades without medi■■■ cal insurance, I find it hard to be panicked and stampeded into bigger and worse problems because some people do not have medical insurance, including many who could afford it if they chose to.

What did we do, back during the years when most Americans had no medical insurance? I did what most people did. I depended on a “single payer” – myself. When I didn’t have the money, I paid off my medical bills in installments. The birth of my first child was not covered by medical insurance. I paid off the bill, month by month, until the time finally came when I could tell my wife that the baby was now ours, free and clear.

In a country where everything imaginable is bought and paid for on credit, why is it suddenly a national crisis if some people cannot pay cash up front for medical treatment?

That is not the best way to do things for all people and all medical treatments, which is why most Americans today choose to have medical insurance. But millions of other people choose not to – often young and healthy people, sometimes deadbeats who use emergency rooms and don’t pay at all.

Is this ideal? No. But if every deviation from the ideal is a reason to be panicked and stampeded into putting dangerous arbitrary powers into the hands of government, then go directly to totalitarianism, do not pass “Go,” do not collect $200.

And go ahead and drop your bone in the water, in hopes that you can get somebody else’s bigger bone.

Volunteers protect loggerhead turtles From Star-News of Wilmington, Sept. 8

T

here’s a remarkable Web video making the rounds lately that shows newly hatched loggerhead turtles as they make their way out of a sand-covered nest at Carolina Beach and into the Atlantic Ocean. The nineminute glimpse into one of nature’s wonders is worth sharing with family.

That ritual, captured and posted on YouTube this summer, is only the beginning of the turtles’ story, however, one that often has an ill-fated ending.

Most of those adorable creatures won’t reach maturity. They’ll fall victim to predators, disease, pollution and commercial fishing nets, among other culprits. And now a new federal report warns that loggerheads are in great danger of extinction, in large part because of increased commercial fishing.

Sea turtles can get caught in fishing nets and drown, or get tangled in fishing lines.

The loggerhead turtle has been a “threatened” species in the United States for more than 30 years, but some biologists predict a worrisome drop in populations worldwide. It’s possible that the government will soon reclassify the loggerhead turtle as an endangered species as a result of this latest study.

And even that may not be enough.

While turtle-friendly fishing nets and other measures have been employed in an effort to reduce accidental deaths, the population is more endangered than ever. Climate change and erosion control methods, including periodic sand replenishment on beaches, are other dangers cited in the report to the National Marine Fisheries Service.

The old “man-vs.-animal” debate usually tips toward man. But these graceful swimmers have been gliding through the open seas for 200 million years.

We may not be able to do much about the predators or even the diseases that stalk the hatchlings as they begin their journey, but we certainly can do something about manmade threats. We must push for and continue reasonable measures to prevent this ancient reptile’s extinction.

Many North Carolinians already are doing their part.

The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on Topsail Island nurses sick or injured turtles, many of them loggerheads, back to health and after recovery releases them into the Atlantic.

State must address its gambling problem

Y

es, we’ve got trouble right here in Carolina. Trouble that starts with “T” and rhymes with “G” and stands for gambling. Our Music Man impersonation aside, lurking below the radar screen unregulated gambling is quietly and rapidly growing out of control.

I make no apology for opposing legalized gambling. It is lousy public policy, an ineffective way to raise tax revenues, morally wrong, and preys on people who can ill afford it. But I uphold your right to spend your cash any way you want, even though your chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize are greater than winning the Powerball jackpot.

Our current dilemma has three complicating factors. The first is former Gov. Jim Hunt’s decision to grant the Cherokee Indians authority to operate a casino on their reservation.

Hunt largely desired to improve the economic plight of tribe members and the economic well-being of the western part of the state. Both goals

were realized but created another huge legal problem.

A recent court ruling says we cannot give the Cherokee special MY SPIN privileges that are not granted Tom all other citizens Campbell of our state, ■■■ making the video poker ban unconstitutional. An appellate court is expected to uphold the lower court, which will result in video poker machines spreading faster than kudzu.

Video sweepstakes games are already infiltrating convenience stores, Internet cafes, neighborhood bars and dedicated gaming parlors. Players purchase cards that entitle them to a certain amount of Internet or phone time, but primarily these are game cards to determine if the purchaser has won instant cash. The complication is that these games are thinly-disguised legitimate

purchases, similar to the games at fast food outlets, under bottle caps, lottery tickets or even The Publishers’ Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. The conundrum is how to regulate the new sweepstakes games without affecting the other, more innocuous games.

Then there’s our state’s lottery. Our state has lost whatever moral high ground we had. We are principals in the gambling game. Our lottery generates lots of cash, provides some high-paying jobs for a few and produces a large volume of TV ad revenues imploring people to play the games, but they have yet to be the bonanza promised to public education.

Their popularity, however, would make it impossible to banish the games.

Here’s where we are. North Carolina is experiencing a rapid expansion of unlicensed, unregulated and untaxed gambling. Ignoring or refusing to address the problems is absurd, but that has been our policy to date. New legislation banning

video poker and its derivatives isn’t going to happen because no governor or Legislature will take away the Cherokee gaming authority. In fact, Gov. Perdue is considering allowing table games at Harrah’s casino.

We certainly aren’t going to eliminate the state lottery.

We’re stuck with gambling and our only choice is to regulate and tax the games to ensure the minimization of crime and the maximization of benefit to our citizens. We must charge stiff fees to license machines and hefty penalties for those found unlicensed, using those fees to pay for enforcement and addiction counseling. Then we must tax the revenues to take pressure off our beleaguered state budget. These are the safest bets to deal with North Carolina’s gambling problem.

Dollar doldrums Giving United Nations currency control would be huge mistake

BY MARK W. HENDRICKSON

C

hina, Russia, et al. are talking about shifting their monetary reserves out of U.S. dollars. Gold has hit $1,000 per ounce, even though wholesale and retail prices exhibit a deflationary bias. The United Nations has called for a new world currency to replace the dollar. What’s going on?

All of these phenomena are early death throes of Federal Reserve notes. I balk at saying “the U.S. dollar,” because a “dollar” is still defined in law as a certain quantity of silver or gold, whereas the U.S. currency that now circulates here and around the globe consists of nothing more than scraps of paper (actually, a linen-cotton compound) – a “fiat currency.”

(Technically, Federal Reserve notes aren’t even money.

Historically, “money” denoted coinage of metals prized in the commercial marketplace; therefore, only a currency redeemable in those metals is a genuine money substitute. ) Whether Federal Reserve notes survive – that is, whether they continue to retain purchasing power and function as money – for a few more years or a few more decades is unknowable. In fact, the Federal Reserve note could strengthen against other currencies if the powers-that-be would trigger another financial crisis like last year’s. (Isn’t that a wretched option?) Inevitably, though, Federal Reserve notes will become worthless, just as every other fiat currency in world history eventually ends up worth nothing more than what they are – little scraps of material.

You may hear some politicians and commentators complain about the Chinese and others as they rebel against the dollar’s status as the world

reserve currency. You may say that the Chinese have no business stating that our government needs to stop its spendthrift, debt-bingeing ways.

The fact of the matter, though, is that the Chinese have a right to speak out on these issues. After all, the Chinese are joined to us at the financial hip. They hold reserves of over two trillion Federal Reserve notes, and close to one trillion of Treasury debt.

Put yourself in their shoes: If we held that much of a foreign currency, and we could see that the government of that country was in the process of debauching that currency by having its central bank flood the financial system with newly created reserves while the government’s debt was exploding as a result of reckless, runaway spending, wouldn’t you worry? Wouldn’t you be tempted to feel resentful and indignant?

It is vital to realize that neither the Chinese nor the Russians nor any other foreign nation has put us in this predicament. Our fiscal/monetary crisis is 100 percent homegrown. President Obama’s request for Congress to raise the debt ceiling higher than $12.1 trillion Federal Reserve notes is the result of Uncle

gardless of where in the world it ended up.

Alas, we are in no position, I fear, to return to a gold standard now. Gold is honest money, and honest money will be rejected wherever politicians engage in the fiscal folly of spending more than the revenue they collect. The rule of thumb seems to be that the world’s leaders want a reserve currency with the benefits of a gold standard, but only on the condition that the currency isn’t gold!

The worst possible development at this juncture would be for the world’s governments to Sam’s undisciplined spending, grant the United Nations the not anything that foreigners authority to develop its own have done.

Kasarda’s aerotropolis affects our quality of life

BY DONNA BONDS

J

ohn Kasarda’s aerotropolis concept is displacing environmental needs that sustain the population. Therefore the basic question is not, as Kasarda proposes in “Leveraging PTIA for Piedmont Triad Region Advantage,” whether it will develop in an intelligent or haphazard manner, but how to implement a plan that maintains citizens’ environmental and lifestyle rights while facilitating economic growth.

Given the fact that the related Heart of the Triad (HOT) concept admitted to a decreased air quality of a

GUEST COLUMN

---

modest 3.5 percent with carbon monoxide at 3.8 percent, how much greater will be the modest increase with the trucking anticipated from four major ports and with an increased population of 3.6 percent or higher?

The air quality, despite efforts to improve it, continues out of compliance. The city of Greensboro is ranked in the top 10 cities in the nation with cases of asthma. While FedEx’s competitor is reducing expenses by soaring into European facilities from 20

miles out at a low altitude to decrease the flight noise and air pollution, the Triad’s need for cost and environmental stewardship is ignored. Economizing and protecting citizens is an option only when there are forests and open spaces surrounding terminals.

Thus rather than working to reduce air quality violations, the aerotropolis effort glosses over a basic need. Similarly, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently opened the door to development in our wetlands to those who can make the ante. This will allow a public/private partnership to displace all families in a

targeted area at their expense; one political group touts that proponents of open spaces and farming will be unrepresented in the N.C. General Assembly by 2012.

Therefore, why would anyone living on the targeted Heart of the Triad’s 8,100 acres agree to annexation if given a choice?

Proponents of the aerotropolis, which incorporates the Heart of the Triad, come across as robbing Peter to pay Paul, not because they are good at communication, but because they are not. That is why the move to change the state’s annexation law by representa-

tives, who have a fiduciary responsibility for citizens, recently failed to support a voter referendum for targeted citizens as do 46 other states.

There is a better way to work for the development that is needed in the Triad. Moore County’s effort has everyone on board and is up for a national citation by the American Planning Association.

Yet fear continues to compromise the quality of life for Triad citizens in the 21st century.

TOUGH STANCE: New FAA chief cracks down on safety. 2C

Rosy days ahead?

Prominent economist sees approaching light at end of tunnel MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON — Tired of all the negative predictions about a jobless recovery, a sick global economy or a rerun of the sluggish 1970s? Then Michael Mussa is your man.

Mussa, the former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, presented a decidedly upbeat economic forecast on Thursday that turned heads in the nation’s capital. Hardly a “Perma Bull” — or perennial optimist — Mussa’s cheery vision far exceeded the more cautious projections being voiced by mainstream

forecasters.

“The recession is over and a global recovery is under way,” he began, unveiling a pile of data and historical charts to support his view that forecasters regularly underestimate recoveries — and are doing so again.

Where the IMF foresees just 0.6 percent year-overyear growth in 2010 in the U.S. economy and 2.5 percent globally, Mussa sees 3.3 percent growth in the U.S. economy next year and 4.2 percent growth globally. He projects a U.S. growth rate of 4 percent from the middle of this year through the end of 2010.

“All forecasts tend to under-predict the recovery. ... I think that’s what we are seeing this time,” said Mussa, now a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a leading research organization in Washington.

So upbeat was he that the institute’s director, Fred Bergsten, joked that Mussa was forecasting the rebirth of a child named Rosy Scenario.

Mussa pointed to forecasts made at the end of the 1981-1982 recession, the closest approximation to today’s deep downturn.

Like today’s crisis, banks in the early 1980s were sinking as home prices fell, mortgage lending was impaired, and consumers were distressed — back then, because of soaring inflation.

The Reagan administration projected a growth rate from December 1982 to December 1983 of 3.1 percent, as did the Federal Reserve. In fact, the real growth rate turned out to be 6.3 percent.

Many economists, Mussa suggested, mistakenly believe that a troubled financial sector inhibits recovery.

“The general rule has been that it’s recovery of the economy that’s resuscitated the financial sector, not the other way around,” he insisted.

Mussa concurs with most mainstream forecasters that consumers won’t lead this recovery, and that Americans will sharply boost their savings to a 7 percent annual rate by the end of 2010.

What, then, will drive growth?

Business investment, Mussa said, noting that it has helped fuel recovery after past recessions.

Investment in software and equipment has fallen 22 percent since the start of the latest recession, he said. Businesses should soon spend at a rate of about half of what they’ve cut in investment, he expects.

Government stimulus spending and a global recovery that’ll fuel demand for U.S. exports should help too, he said.

Unlike in the past, today there’s also the China factor. Nicholas Lardy, the institute’s expert on China, projects that the Asian powerhouse economy will grow by more than 8 percent this year and 9 percent next year. That’s a hungry market for U.S. exports.

“The good Lord gave me this business to run, and that’s what I’ve tried to do all of these years,” Rodgers said.

One of High Point’s first day spas, About Face was bought by Rodgers in 1984 after the business originally opened under a different ownership in 1978. It will hold an anniversary celebration Sept. 24-26.

The spa is located on 1107 N. Main St. Rodgers, a former high school teacher who holds a master’s degree in business administration, said the business had evolved over time to accommodate the residents of High Point. The spa offers facials, pedicures, body wrap treat-

“When I purchased the business, we were one of four stores in the state to sell Chanel products,” she said about the spa’s cosmetic selection. “In the last six months, I’ve tried to be more frugal.

I’ve bought so I could pass along good buys to my clients with quality in mind.”

Before the business evolved, however, Rodgers said her career objectives evolved. She worked as a high school teacher for 16 years teaching marketing and

fashion merchandising classes in Kannapolis.

As part of her class curriculum, she often would invite successful business owners to speak to the class — including the former owner of About Face.

“I was just looking for something different,” she said about switching careers when the business was put up for sale.

“I was intrigued by the cosmetic industry and really wanted to become a representative for a cosmetics company.

This is really the best of both worlds for me,” she said.

FACE-ING A PROFIT

----

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Facebook Inc. says it’s achieved an important financial milestone, bringing in more money than it spent in the last quarter. The social networking site previously had said it didn’t expect to achieve that goal until next year — even though the company already has been valued in the billions.

In a blog post on Facebook’s Web site, founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote that the company became “cashflow positive” during the second quarter, which ended in June.

“This is important to us because it sets Facebook up to be a strong independent service for the long term,” he wrote.

This does not mean that Facebook necessarily is profitable by the measurements that most companies use, though. Cash remaining after expenses could be swallowed by other costs like taxes, debt payments or accounting charges.

Zuckerberg did not indicate whether Facebook is now moving closer to filing for an initial public offering.

Facebook has raised more than $600 million from investors since it was founded five years ago.

American Airlines MD-80 planes are seen parked at Washington’s Reagan National Airport in this March 2008 photograph.

New FAA chief toughens stance on air safety, outlines new initiatives WASHINGTON (AP) — Responding to criticism that his agency has become too cozy with companies it regulates, the new head of the Federal Aviation Administration said the FAA will stop calling airlines “customers,” as he announced steps to ensure air carriers comply with safety orders.

FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt, who took over the agency in June, outlined a series of initiatives that address complaints by members of Congress and others that the agency’s relationship with airlines was placing the industry’s economic interests above passengers’ safety.

During the Bush ad-

ministration, the FAA adopted a business model for evaluating its performance and began calling airlines, aircraft manufacturers and others that it regulates “customers.”

The new term is “stakeholder.”

Babbitt also announced that an internal FAA audit begun last year has concluded that airlines carry out 98 percent of the safety repairs and directives ordered by the agency. He said the audit shows the current system works well, but improvements can be made.

He listed several shortterm and long-term actions, including making the agency’s engineers available around the clock

to support safety inspectors assigned to airlines.

Another initiative is the creation of a new office to handle public safety and whistleblower complaints.

“We have an incredibly safe industry today,” Babbitt said. “We’re not likely to find one quantum leap ... that’s going to take us to another level. Instead we have to find these incremental steps that move us forward.”

The FAA suffered several embarrassing episodes in recent years in which airlines didn’t follow safety orders or comply with regulations: • Southwest Airlines temporarily grounded 46 planes on Aug. 22, the

day after an FAA inspector discovered the use of unapproved parts, causing flight delays and some cancelations. A maintenance company hired by Southwest used parts that hadn’t been approved on more than 80 of the airline’s Boeing jets since 2006. The agency has given Southwest until Dec. 24 to replace the parts.

• In August 2008, FAA ordered American Airlines to pay a $7.1 million civil penalty, one of the largest ever assessed against an airline, for flying two jets 58 times without making repairs after an FAA inspector and American’s own mechanics found problems with their au-

topilot systems, among other violations.

• American, Alaska Airlines and other carriers grounded hundreds of MD-80 aircraft in April 2008, wreaking havoc with air travel schedules. The move came after the FAA found that airlines had not properly complied with a 2006 safety directive to address reports of shorted wires, evidence of worn-down power cables and fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer, Boeing Co. The FAA audit released Thursday said Boeing first received reports of the problems in 1986. The FAA first proposed a safety directive to remedy the problems in 2003, but the

proposal didn’t become final until 2006.

• Southwest Airlines made nearly 60,000 flights in 2006 and 2007 on planes that had missed required examinations for structural cracks and flew them 1,451 times even after being notified of the missed inspections. The agency had ordered airlines in September 2004 to conduct repeat inspections of some areas of the fuselage on some older models of Boeing 737 aircraft.

The FAA is investigating American over structural repairs to its aging fleet of MD-80s. FAA officials have said the investigation centers on repairs to the rear bulkhead of 16 planes.

Merck, charity to jointly develop vaccines TRENTON, New Jersey (AP) — Drugmaker Merck & Co. and Britain’s largest charity, the Wellcome Trust, said Thursday they are starting a not-for-profit partnership to create affordable vaccines against diseases common in poor countries.

The joint research venture will develop new vaccines for diseases with unmet need and work to improve existing vaccines, such as by finding lower-cost production

Avon president to leave NEW YORK (AP) — Avon Products Inc. said its president, Elizabeth Smith, is leaving the beauty products company at the end of October to seek out a CEO position elsewhere.

Smith joined Avon in January 2005 and has been president since September 2007. As president, Smith was in charge of the company’s global marketing, supply chain and information technology divisions and also oversaw global sales.

Andrea Jung has served as Avon’s CEO since November 1999, according to CapitalIQ.

methods or tweaking them to make them stable at room temperature.

Most vaccines must be refrigerated during shipment and storage, limiting their use in developing countries. High prices also make vaccines out of reach in countries with small health care budgets, although some charities and vaccine makers provide them at reduced prices in developing nations.a Merck will have the first rights to license any

vaccines developed by the partnership, which will consult with experts around the world to pick initial projects. One priority, though, will be a vaccine against Group A Streptococcus, which kills more than 500,000 people a year worldwide.

Merck and the Wellcome Trust will initially put up equal cash contributions — a total of $130 million over the next seven years.

Other funding could come from grants for specific projects, donations from governments and charities, or investments and licensing fees from for-profit pharmaceutical or biotech companies, said Merck spokeswoman Amy Rose.

“The goal here is to involve a number of parties that would be interested in the success of vaccines in the developing world,” including university researchers, she said.

Layoffs likely

Increasing potential opportunities on the job

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

You might be dispirited about improving your prospects at work, even as hopeful signs of economic recovery dot the landscape. Don’t let blinders keep you from overlooking existing and potential opportunities.

PASSIVE Billy Arcement, consultant and speaker at The Results Group in Prairieville, La., recommends making the most of opportunities the company already offers, including professional association membership.

Be aware, too, of emerging opportunities, such as those in the company of John Haynes, director of HR at Johnson Controls Inc., in Capitol Heights, Md. He says that its “affinity networks encourage specific groups, such as minorities and diverse employees, to: • “come together; • “discuss common interests; • “develop a mission, vision and goals for the group; and • “encourage and facilitate members’ overall growth and development.”

ACTIVE Some opportunities are waiting for you to create if you simply keep your eyes open and

thought processes working.

These come through new relationships on the job. Arcement urges you to keep building them and developing trust. He considers being a giver rather than taker the best avenue to increased opportunities.

Opportunities come through meaningful relationships, he points out, when “the person trusts you as a reliable source of help or reliable resource to help them do their job. In my experience, if you give first, people will begin to respect you and rely on you. You become a bit of an important person to them.”

Stephanie Partridge would concur. She’s a contractor at FEMA in Washington, D.C., through Front Row Inc., in Arlington, Va. “I know when I have meaningful relationships at work when the people I work with turn to me for answers and solutions to problems, when they thank me for the help I provide and when they stand behind me in support of pitches I make,” she says.

However, if you have meaningful relationships but opportunities seem external to your workplace, you might need to learn new skills, Arcement says, to break out of your box. Your motives in opportunity-seeking don’t always have to be selfless, according to Melissa Dawn Johnson, CEO of Atlanta’s Vel-

vet Suite Marketing Consulting Group Inc. “This is a great opportunity to offer your time or advice on a project to give value to a person in exchange for information, a referral or advocacy and access,” she says. “The barter system is not dead.”

With new-found openness, you might create an opportunity.

Partridge, the contractor, recalls how she found a need as people around her were struggling with software. “I could hear them talking back and forth, asking questions (and using an occasional expletive),” she comments. “I’d offer to help and they were always appreciative.”

She began to recognize that she was investing almost one-fourth of her day helping team members who hadn’t been trained or simply lacked computer literacy.

Morale was plummeting. Rather than sitting back passively, “I stepped up, told my project manager what I was doing and gave her a proposal complete with course outline and resource material that I had developed,” she recalls. “It was just a matter of seeing a deficit in the current system, taking control of the situation and making a difference.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NORTH CAROLINA 31 EAST CAROLINA 17 KANSAS DUKE

CLEMSON 25 BOSTON COLLEGE 7

BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

LAWRENCE, Kan. – For Duke to keep pace with a nationally ranked opponent at this point in the program’s development, the Blue Devils must excel on plays that decide which team is going to possess the football and on plays that decide where they’re going to possess the ball.

Saturday at No. 22 Kansas, when it came to plays that led to change of possession and/or a significant change in field position, the Blue Devils had to feel shortchanged.

“You’ve either got to make a ton of big plays or you’ve got to make first downs, and we’re not getting much of either,” Duke coach David Cutcliffe said after his Blue Devils fell 44-16 at Memorial Stadium. One play typified both Duke’s third-down struggles – the Blue Devils were 0-for-7 in the first half and 4-of-18 for the game – as well as Kansas’ ability to make game-changing plays.

On Duke’s first drive of the second half, facing a third and 6 from its 45-yard line, quarterback Thad Lewis threw his first interception of the season, a pass that defensive end Maxwell Onyegbule picked off and returned 48 yards for a touchdown to give Kansas a 27-7 lead.

“He did a great job of hiding behind the defensive line, and with those big guys up front, I didn’t see him at all,” said Lewis (16-of-27, 184 yards), who shared time with freshman Sean Renfree (14-of-23, 115 yards) for the second straight game.

Duke (1-2) didn’t mess around with third down on its opening drive.

Lewis hooked up with Austin Kelly for a simple screen that went 66 yards on the Devils’ first snap, then Lewis scored on a 21-yard draw out of the shotgun on the next play for a 7-0 lead.

North Carolina’s Robert Quinn (42) kicks up his heels with Marvin Austin after sacking East Carolina quarterback Patrick Pinkney (15) during the second half of Saturday’s game in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels won 31-17.

Heels boot Pirates

BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

Inside...

CHAPEL HILL – When Erik Highsmith began his career at North Carolina, he didn’t want jersey No. 88.

For the past three years, Hakeem Nicks, a first-round draft pick by the New York Giants who owns multiple UNC receiving records, wore that number. But the coaching staff gave No. 88 to Highsmith anyway, and Saturday against East Carolina the true freshman did his best to live up to the jersey’s history.

Highsmith became the first true freshman since Nicks with more than 100 yards receiving to help lead UNC past ECU 31-17 at Kenan Stadium.

“As soon as I got my number, everybody was like, ‘Man, you’ve got big shoes to fill,’” said Highsmith, who finished with six catches for 113 yards and one touchdown.

“I just had a lot of pressure on me.

I didn’t think Coach (Butch) Davis was going to give me that number.”

The No. 24 Tar Heels improve to 30 for the first time since 1997, avenging a 34-31 loss in Greenville two years ago.

----

Virginia, Maryland stunned. 4D After struggling on offense a week ago in a win over Connecticut, UNC put up 433 yards of offense, including 148 yards on the ground. Quarterback T.J. Yates finished 19-of-24 for 227 yards and two touchdowns.

One of the biggest differences in the offense was the improvement of the line, which did not give up a sack a week after giving up six and created holes for UNC’s Shaun Draughn to rush for 84 yards.

The Tar Heels’ offense also got a lift from a couple of big plays from its young receivers. After a UNC fumble set up ECU’s first score of the day – a 7-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Pinkney to Jamar Bryant – UNC drove down the field on the ensuing possession.

Highsmith tied the score 7-7 when he caught a 16-yard touchdown pass in the back, left corner of the end zone for his first career touchdown reception.

Highsmith wasn’t the only true

freshman to have a breakout game.

Three plays after Charles Brown recovered an ECU fumble at the UNC 25, wide receiver Jheranie Boyd pulled in a 59-yard touchdown pass to give UNC a 14-7 lead at the start the second quarter. The true freshman juggled the ball to himself and eventually reeled it in for his first touchdown on his first career reception.

ECU (1-2) tied the score at 14 thanks to a 6-yard run by Dwayne Harris with 6:22 left in the half. UNC took a 21-14 lead into the break when Ryan Houston capped a 73-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run.

The Tar Heels added to their lead with a 28-yard field goal from Casey Barth with 9:21 remaining in the third, but that would be it until Houston’s second touchdown run in the final minutes of the game.

But UNC didn’t need much offense in the second half, as its defense held the Pirates to just one field goal and blocked another. ECU recorded just 247 yards of offense in the game and just 55 yards on the ground. It’s the third consecutive week that UNC has held its opponent to under 100 rushing yards.

UNC leads the all-time series 9-2-1.

RALEIGH (AP) – Russell Wilson had four touchdown passes for the second straight week, threw for a careerhigh 345 yards and

set an NCAA passing record in N.C. State’s 45-14 rout of GardnerWebb on Saturday night.

Former Ragsdale High star Toney Baker had two early scoring runs before Wilson threw touchdown passes covering 17 and

12 yards to George Bryan, 24 yards to T.J. Graham and 16 yards to Jarvis Williams for the Wolfpack (2-1). Wilson broke the NCAA record of 325 consecutive passes without an interception set by Kentucky’s Andre Woodson from

2006-07. He entered 32 attempts behind Woodson, but surpassed him late in the third quarter with a 13-yard dump-off over the middle to James Washington. With his fourth touchdown pass, Wilson extended the streak to 329.

Wilson sets record as Wolfpack rolls, 45-14 Wilson

he Atlanta Falcons hope the addition of a future Hall of Fame tight end can do for them what a similar move did for the Dallas Cowboys in the early 1970s.

The Falcons boast a talented young quarterback in Matt Ryan, one of the NFL’s elite running backs in Michael Turner, a solid offensive line and go-to wide receiver Roddy White.

Perhaps Atlanta’s weakest offensive position last year was tight end.

Enter Tony Gonzalez. The Carolina Panthers will see him in Atlanta togs for the first time this afternoon.

The former Kansas City Chief has caught 921 passes for 11,013 yards, both records for an NFL tight end. He owns four seasons with at least 90 catches and made the Pro Bowl every year this decade.

He’s also an underrated blocker and solid team guy.

Football graybeards recall the Cowboys brought in Mike Ditka to play tight end in 1969. At that time, Dallas was gaining a reputation as a good team that could not win the big one.

Ditka was a key cog in a lineup that reached Super Bowl V following the 1970

regular season. The next year, he caught a touchdown pass in the Cowboys’ Super Bowl VI triumph over Miami.

Legendary head coach Tom Landry often praised Ditka’s toughness and versatility as a player and cited him as a major factor in helping the Cowboys get over the championship hump.

One player cannot make all the difference between winning and losing a title.

But it never hurts to have players such as Gonzalez or Ditka around for the effort.

Dragster from Middle East near top of the heap

N

o logos of corporations adorn the maroon and gold cars of the first-year team on the NHRA Top Fuel circuit.

Instead, there are the dominating words “Team Al-Anabi.”

Co-owned by former crew chief Alan Johnson and founded last fall, it’s far from an outfit just trying to get along from race to race on a shoestring budget in an era years removed from the time racers came to the track helped by a few dollars from a nearby hotel or truck stop or auto repair joint.

The financial arrangement doesn’t absolve driver Larry Dixon of his duties of being a good representative. It doesn’t absolve of the team of trying to put forth its best effort to win, which it will try to do for the sixth time in its 10-month history in the finals of the Carolinas Nationals today at ZMax Dragway in Concord.

“People will say this must be easier because you don’t have any sponsor to answer to,” Dixon said. “And I go, ‘Dude, I’m representing a country.’ I’ve had big sponsors in the past, but nothing that big.”

The big deal is indicated by little decals on the front and rear wings that say “Qatar,” the small country situated on a peninsula that juts out from eastern Saudi Arabia into the Persian Gulf and enjoys the secondhighest per capita income in the world thanks to a mountain of money generated from the sale of natural gas and oil.

The ruling family decided to get into drag racing to help promote motorsports in the country, which has included the building of drag racing, road racing and NASCAR-style tracks.

The drag racing team, which also includes a Funny Car driven by Del Worsham on the NHRA circuit, is overseen by Sheikh Kalid Bin Hamad Al Thani, one of the son’s of the country’s Emir, who overthrew his father in a bloodless coup in 1995. The country has flourished financially since then.

The sheikh, second in line to the throne, is a drag racing buff. Back in Qatar, Al-Anabi Racing has overseen the building of the drag strip and also fields Pro Modified cars which compete in the U.S. and in a six-race series in the Middle East.

Dixon, who got his Top Fuel license with Worsham’s approval in 1994 and won Top Fuel championships in 2002 and 2003, said the sheikh is no absentee owner who stays home in the royal palace.

“I drove for Miller Brewing for a dozen years, and in that time there were four or five different presidents of the company and we couldn’t get any of them to a drag race,” Dixon said. “Well, Sheikh Kalid has been four times this year. He’s very excited about it. That makes me proud that he has that passion and he’s that into it. He’s up there on the (starting) line and getting the tire dust and smoke and fumes.”

Dixon admits he didn’t know about the sheikh or Qatar when he was approached about driving for the start-up team.

But he was intrigued

about the possibility of driving for Johnson, who prepared the cars for Don SPORTS Schumacher Racing Greer that Tony Smith Schumach■■■ er drove to the past five Top Fuel championships and a division-record 15 victories last year.

At age 43 and concerned about supporting his family, he was also lured by a five-year contract in a sport where Dixon says the usual deal is “one year and let’s see.”

It didn’t hurt that most of the crew that worked Schumacher’s car followed Johnson.

The mechanics weren’t able to start work until they cleaned out their lockers at Schumacher’s after the series finale in mid- November. Then, they followed Johnson across the street to their new home in an industrial complex in the Indianapolis suburb of Browsburg, the town where a number of NHRA teams are located for logistical reasons.

“The floors may not have been painted,” Dixon said. “They just had to wait for the UPS trucks each day for the pieces to come. We didn’t have a car completed until the middle of December.”

They also didn’t have Dixon until his contract ran out on Dec. 15.

“I ordered a fire suit the day after New Year’s and we were in West Palm Beach, Fla., testing on Jan. 11,” Dixon recalled.

The crew and driver have combined for five victories – giving Dixon 48 for his career – and sit second in points heading into today’s action.

“I think it is a tribute to Alan’s ability to put a team together,” Dixon said. “Most of the guys on our car came off a 15-win season, so five wins is probably not enough for them. But you’ve got to take into account that no one has won more races this season in the Top Fuel class and we are a start-up team. I think it is pretty impressive.”

Making it more impressive is that Johnson gave up his crew chief job to manage, forcing everyone on the team to take on new roles. Jason McCullouch, son of drag racing legend Ed “the Ace” McCullouch, is Dixon’s new crew chief. Dixon worked beside Jason McCullouch as a mechanic when they were getting started in drag racing in the late 1980s.

“For all those guys to learn those positions and for us to still be No. 2 in the points and to have the most wins this season is a hell of a start, I think,” Dixon said. “I haven’t won five races in four years.”

Dixon admits that there could be something of a rivalry with Schmacher’s outfit, which has overcome the employee exodus to win four times and sit third in points.

“Both have something to prove,” Dixon said.

“Schumacher wants to show that they could still win without this group of people. And mine, they want to show they can still win away from Schumacher.”

They proved plenty so far without the corporate logos. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Grounded? Trinity offense seeks success

BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

TRINITY – Trinity is a running team. Head coach Alex Mebane makes no bones about that.

But after Friday night, opposing defenses will have to show a little more respect to the Bulldogs’ passing attack.

Down 14-0 in the first quarter of their nonconference matchup with Asheboro and with the usually potent ground game sputtering, the Bulldogs went to the air.

Quarterback Rhyne Kivett completed his first eight passes of the night,

including a beautiful fade route in the corner of the end zone for a 12yard touchdown to Ryan Spencer.

Asheboro’s Nick Chavis turned the game around with a 73-yard interception return for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter of the Comets’ 20-15 win, but Trinity had to be pleased with its ability to succeed on several thirdand-long situations.

“We’ll do what we have to. We don’t go into games saying we’re going to pass it, but if they do certain things to take away the run you’ve got to be able to throw the

Dixon takes No. 1 spot in Top Fuel CONCORD (AP) – Twotime champion Larry Dixon handled the Top Fuel field Saturday to earn the No. 1 qualifying position for Sunday’s NHRA Carolinas Nationals, the first race in NHRA’s six-race playoff.

The other provisional No. 1 qualifiers at the 19th of 24 races in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series were Cruz Pedregon (Funny Car), Mike Edwards (Pro Stock) and Hector Arana (Pro Stock Motorcycle).

The NHRA Carolinas Nationals is the first race in NHRA’s six-race playoff and it is the first of a four-races-in-four-weeks run that includes stops in Dallas, Memphis, Tenn., and Richmond to begin the Countdown to 1.

Dixon, a two-time world champion (2001-02) who finished the regular

season in second place, earned the No. 1 spot with a 3.844-second pass at 313.66 mph in Saturday’s first session.

In each of the three other categories, beginning with Pedregon in Funny Car, the No. 1 qualifiers from Friday held up on Saturday.

Pedregon, who missed the playoffs by five points, earned his second No. 1 of 2009 and the 38th of his career with the 4.087 at 303.91 he delivered in Friday night qualifying.

In Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle, there were also no changes from Friday when Edwards (6.614 at 208.36 mph) and Arana (6.965 at 189.98) laid down their No. 1 qualifying runs.

For Edwards, it was his NHRA-best 11th No. 1 qualifier this season.

CAR Camping World Truck Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday.

football,” Mebane said.

“We didn’t run it poorly, but we didn’t run it real well.

“We’re a running team,” Mebane added. “We’ve got to run the ball better than we did tonight.”

Kivett finished the night 10-of-16 through the air for 144 yards and the score. Spencer was on the receiving end of eight

of those passes, accounting for 117 yards. On the ground, though, Kris Frazier was the top threat with nine carries for 38 yards.

Entering the game, Kivett was averaging 96.8 yards per game and Angelo Dunn 72.5. The Bulldogs will try to get back on track at Southern Guilford on Friday.

Bison enjoy big game H

igh Point Central junior Derek Grant knows a thing or two about rivalry games.

His dad, J.J., played football for Michigan, and father and son have been back for a few Michigan-Ohio State and Michigan-Michigan State matchups.

Red Raiders ready to rebound after week off

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Sometimes consequences from rivalry games can be long-lasting.

The Red Raiders hope so.

High Point Central and T. Wingate Andrews battled to a scoreless tie at halftime of Friday night’s contest at Simeon Stadium, but the Bison came out of the break as the aggressors in the second half.

The third quarter was dominated

by Central’s defense and quickstrike offense, but in the fourth, the Raiders proved to be quality competition in drawing within a touchdown in a 19-12 final.

“They outplayed us,” said An-

drews coach Rodney McKoy. “You get behind 19 points – we didn’t move the ball in the first half. We did what we could do. We just didn’t do it early enough.”

Quarterback Marquez Swinton seconded his coach’s sentiments.

“In the first half, we were kind of rocky,” Swinton said. “We got off to a rough start, but being the quarterback and leader of the team, you’ve got to try to keep everybody up.”

He then quickly pointed to the fourth quarter, where the Red Raiders exploited a hole in the Bison defense via the short passing game. As Andrews switched gears from a running attack to a more screen-based offense, Swin-

ton was able to get the ball in the hands of playmakers such as Quan Stevenson, who scored on a check-down that turned into a 30-yard TD. “Quan is a very good player,” Swinton said. “He’s a playmaker, he’s just an athlete.”

Swinton and leaders on defense, including linebacker Daniel Pinnix, were cognizant of the fact both units must make adjustments in the 14 days they have to prepare for a trip to Lexington with the bye this week. Beginning by becoming more guarded on offense, the Raiders will look to cut down on the turnovers to allow themselves a better chance to win.

On defense, Andrews may fo-

cus on stopping the big play. Central’s only scoring drives came in a seven-minute span and were extremely short-lived, as the Bison took advantage of quick-hitters to produce points.

Central quarterback Drew Adams found Derek Grant on two consecutive drives for completions in excess of 30 yards to set up both short-yardage scores.

With the exception of those two possessions, the Raider “D” proved very impressive and showed no reason why the solid play cannot lead to more wins.

“We’ve just got to work on some stuff on offense and some little stuff on defense,” Pinnix said. “We’ll be all right.”

Skinner, defense lead Wake past Elon WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Riley Skinner threw for a career-high 289 yards and three touchdowns, and Wake Forest tuned up for its conference schedule by beating Elon 35-7 on Saturday night.

Not that they needed it, but even the officials helped the Demon Deacons (2-1) in the first meeting in 70

years between the schools.

Skinner’s 54-yard touchdown pass to Chris Givens late in the second quarter came after back judge Tommy Pace inadvertently tripped Elon cornerback Karlos Sullivan near the goal line.

The blooper made it 21-0, and Skinner was through for the night

after throwing an 80-yard touchdown to Marshall Williams late in the third quarter.

Never threatened against the Phoenix (2-1) – a Football Championship Subdivision program – the Deacons won their second straight.

Wake Forest plays at Boston College in ACC opener next week.

Virginia Tech tailback Ryan Williams (34) is swarmed by fans as he celebrates his team’s 16-15 win over Nebraska at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg on Saturday.

Hokies rally past Cornhuskers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Tyrod Taylor dodged several defenders and then rifled an 11-yard touchdown pass to Dyrell Roberts with 21 seconds left, rallying No. 13 Virginia Tech over No. 19 Nebraska 16-15 Saturday.

Taylor, known for his running much more than his passing, completed two big, late throws to lead the Hokies (2-1).

Taylor first hit Danny Coale for 80 yards down the right sideline with 1:11 left, setting the ball up at the Nebraska 3. He followed by scrambling for what seemed like a minute before connecting with Roberts.

The victory was the 32nd in a row for Virginia Tech at home against non-conference opponents. Nebraska (2-1) lost for the 21st time in its last 22 games against teams ranked in the Top 20.

M. TENNESSEE 32, MARYLAND 31 COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Alan Gendreau made a 19-yard field goal as time expired and Middle Tennessee rallied for a 32-31 victory over turnover-prone Maryland on Saturday.

Dwight Dasher completed 27 of 44

passes for 324 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a score for the Blue Raiders (2-1). Dasher was 4 for 4 for 69 yards on the decisive drive – an eight-play, 73-yard march – that began with 1:30 left after Maryland’s Nick Ferrara went wide right on a 42-yard field goal attempt.

Da’Rel Scott rushed for 117 yards and a touchdown for the Terrapins, but fumbled twice. Maryland quarterback Chris Turner was 19 for 30 for 288 yards, threw two touchdowns and an interception.

Maryland (1-2) took a 7-0 lead on Scott’s 48-yard run 6:66 into the game, but Middle Tennessee converted a pair of Scott turnovers into touchdowns for a 13-7 lead.

SOUTHERN MISS 37, VIRGINIA 34 HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Tory Harrison’s 57-yard touchdown run capped a Southern Mississippi rally as the Golden Eagles defeated Virginia 37-34.

Southern Miss (3-0) trailed until the fourth quarter, with fumbles and penalties allowing the Cavaliers to surge to a 13-0 lead after one quarter.

Virginia (0-3) scored on a 69yard pass from Jameel Sewell to

Tim Smith and had two field goals, thanks to Southern Miss fumbles.

A roughing the passer call on Southern Miss set up 4-yard TD run

by Sewell to give the Cavaliers a 2710 lead at halftime.

CLEMSON 25, BOSTON COLLEGE 7 CLEMSON, S.C. – C.J. Spiller showed more punch on his first ever punt return for a touchdown than Boston College had all game in Clemson’s 25-7 victory Saturday.

Spiller had a 77-yard return score, kicker Richard Jackson added a school-record tying six field goals and Clemson’s defense bottled up the Eagles in a game that took nearly five hours to finish because of two rain delays.

Spiller, who finished with 219 all-purpose yards, didn’t return after the second stoppage. Athletic spokesman Tim Bourret said Spiller hurt his foot, but it was not considered serious.

Boston College (2-1, 0-1 ACC) ended with 55 yards.

The teams have played tight, dramatic football since the Eagles joined the league in 2005. This time, the Tigers (2-1, 1-1) ended any drama early.

Washington shocks USC, 16-13 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE – Southern California was leveled by another post-Ohio State funk, taken down by upstart Washington with a late drive that must have looked familiar to the

Trojans. Erik Folk kicked a 22-yard field goal with 3 seconds remaining and Washington’s fired-up defense stymied fill-in quarterback Aaron Corp and No. 3 USC in a 16-13 victory Saturday.

Washington (2-1, 1-0) had lost 10

straight Pac-10 games. USC fell to 2-1, 0-1.

Blanchard sparks Davidson past Campbell THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DAVIDSON – Former Ledford High star Michael Blanchard threw two touchdowns and Kenny Mantuo ran for another to lead Davidson to a 24-7 win against Campbell in the Pioneer Football League opener for both teams on Saturday night.

Blanchard, who was 9-for-17 passing with 83 yards and an interception, rushed for 91 yards on 17 carries for the Flyers (1-2, 1-0). Mantuo had 135 yards rushing on 20 carries.

Campbell fell to 1-2, 0-1.

MORGAN STATE 16, WSSU 10 (OT)

feated North Carolina Central 13-10 on Saturday.

Wes McDermott gave Morehead State (2-1) the chance to win after he intercepted N.C. Central’s Michael Johnson pass in the first overtime.

But Duzan missed a 38-yard field goal.

N.C. Central (0-3) could have won in overtime too, but Frankie Cardelle missed a 49-yard field goal.

MOREHEAD STATE 13, Cardelle also missed two other N.C. CENTRAL 10 (2OT) DURHAM – Rainer Duzan kicked kicks – a 25-yard attempt to end a 45-yard field goal in the second the first half and had a 31-yard kick overtime and Morehead State de- blocked in the opening quarter.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Carlton Jackson threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Edwin Baptiste in overtime to lift Morgan State to a 16-10 win over Winston-Salem on Saturday.

The Bears are 1-1. The Rams fell to 0-3.

Campbell women blank High Point, 1-0 SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

BUIES CREEK – The High Point University women’s soccer team played a strong defensive game but lost to Campbell 1-0 on a goal mid-

way through the second half Saturday night. The Panthers fell to 1-9-0.

“We just weren’t good enough today,” said head coach Marty Beall. “In games like this we need

to step up and we just didn’t do that (against Campbell).”

High Point returns to action on Thursday at 7 p.m. when it hosts Belmont in its last nonconference action of the season.

Falcons expect a much-improved Delhomme ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Falcons expect to see an entirely different Jake Delhomme today.

You know, the guy who led the Carolina Panthers to their only Super Bowl. Not the one who ended last season and started this one by turning over the ball 11 times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After somebody has a bad game, I always look for them to come back and play very well,â&#x20AC;?

Falcons defensive end John Abraham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it as, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh yeah, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got him, we can get him.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I look at like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really got to prepare this week. I know if I have a bad game, the

next week Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to play the best I can.â&#x20AC;?

Delhomme certainly had a bad game in the opener, throwing four interceptions and coughing up a fumble before he was yanked from a dismal 38-10 home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Panthers are sticking with Delhomme, insisting they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost faith in the quarterback who led them to a Super Bowl in 2004 and the NFC South title just a year ago.

But there are plenty of doubters, especially among all those fans who booed Delhomme off the field a week ago in his own

stadium. They were still trying to shake the memory of his playoff debacle: five interceptions plus a fumble in an upset by Arizona last January. Now this, another miserable showing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just on him,â&#x20AC;? running back DeAngelo Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a total team loss.

The defense could have played a lot better. Our offense as a whole could have played a lot better. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t block anybody. The tailbacks didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run through many tackles. As a whole, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all of us.â&#x20AC;?

The Panthers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a

lot of options, anyway. Backup Josh McCown was lost for the season with knee and foot injuries after replacing Delhomme.

Carolina quickly signed journeyman A.J. Feeley, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filled in at Philadelphia for Donovan McNabb, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still learning the offense and would be a stopgap solution at best.

Plus, Carolina has a lot of money tied up in Delhomme, who received a five-year, $42.5 million contract during the offseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to erase any doubts,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to erase them if there are any at all this weekend.â&#x20AC;?

The Falcons eased a lot of doubts about their defense in Week 1.

After ditching five starters from last year in hopes of getting younger and quicker, Atlanta struggled to stop first-team offenses during the preseason.

The first game that counted was another matter.

The Falcons held Miami scoreless for most of a 19-7 victory, finally giving up a meaningless touchdown with less than 31â &#x201E;2 minutes to go. Abraham had two sacks, one coming when he ran right over mammoth tackle Jake Long.

Steelers, Bears ready to rumble THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Steel Curtain versus the Monsters of the Midway. How fierce. How ferocious.

And the Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; visit to Soldier Field today just might be all that, a defensive standoff emblematic of the NFL histories of Pittsburgh and Chicago.

Still, the absence of Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher, the very face of the Chicago defense, and Steelers safety Troy Polamalu, the heart of Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unit, is a downer. Urlacher wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be back this season after dislocating his right wrist in the opening loss at Green Bay. Polamalu sprained his left knee in the victory over Tennessee and will be gone for September, at least.

Polamalu, though, was thankful he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t headed for injured reserve, where Urlacher landed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regarding an injury to the knee, this is the bestcase scenario,â&#x20AC;? Polamalu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very blessed that this scenario has come about rather than any worse scenario.â&#x20AC;?

While replacing an AllPro such as Polamalu is problematic, the Steelers have done it before and survived. They have so many playmakers on defense â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe not as spectacular as Polamalu, but plenty dangerous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that they are better suited to filling holes than most other teams. Even a chasm this deep.

Filling in for Urlacher will be Hunter Hillenmeyer, who lost his job as a starter on the outside last year, and now steps into one of the storied defensive positions in football: middle linebacker for the Chicago Bears.

In 2004, Urlacher missed seven games with a variety of injuries, and the Bears lost them all.

Pittsburgh is 1-11 at Soldier Field, but the last visit was in 1995, when the Steelers won.

Also today, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Baltimore at San Diego; the New York Giants at Dallas; New Orleans at Philadelphia; New England at the New York Jets; Arizona at Jacksonville; Seattle at San Francisco; Minnesota at Detroit; Houston at Tennessee; Carolina at Atlanta; Cincinnati at Green Bay; Oakland at Kansas City; Cleveland at Denver; Tampa Bay at Buffalo; and St. Louis at Washington.

ers, particularly wideout Mark Clayton and tight end Todd Heap.

San Diego went to the limit to beat Oakland, and now LaDainian Tomlinson (ankle) might be hobbled or sidelined. That canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bode well against a defense that normally shuts down an opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best running back, and the Chargers also had blocking issues against the Raiders.

NEW YORK GIANTS (1-0) AT DALLAS (1-0) Jerry Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; palace finally gets its true Cowboys debut, and who better to provide the opposition than one of Dallasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top rivals. The focus will be as much on the billiondollar stadium and all its accouterments as the players on the field.

One player who likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be on the field is Giants cornerback Aaron Ross (hamstring), which could be decisive because Tony Romo and his receivers seem revved up. Then again, can the Cowboys shut down New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerhouse running game?

formances in their openers turned heads, the Jets for how well they played and the Patriots for how mediocre they were until the final quarter. Both won, with New York particularly impressive in shutting down Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense and getting a solid debut from rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez.

New England was fortunate to get by Buffalo, looking passive at times with the ball and off-balance on defense.

ARIZONA (0-1) AT JACKSONVILLE (0-1)

Super Bowl losers in February, the Cardinals are in danger of falling two games behind in the NFC West if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come east and win. They struggled mightily on the Atlantic coast in 2008, going 0-5 in the regular season before breaking through with a playoff romp in Carolina. In last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss to San Francisco, the offense sputtered, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way for Arizona to prosper.

Many Texans were hanging their heads following a 24-7 loss to the Jets in which no one impressed.

They need to protect QB Matt Schaub much better, and defensive playmakers Mario Williams and DeMeco Ryans must contribute a lot more.

CINCINNATI (0-1) AT GREEN BAY (1-0)

CLEVELAND (0-1) AT DENVER (1-0)

Give the Bengals kudos for the original ways they find to snatch defeat from almost-certain victory. When Cincinnatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense allows only six points for more than 59 minutes, it should spell a win, but Carson Palmer, Chad Ochocinco and the rest of the Cincy O was invisible.

Green Bay comes off an emotional and exhausting win against archrival Chicago.

Just what the Broncos ordered to take attention away from their dysfunctional offseason and preseason: another weak team from Ohio on the schedule. Josh McDanielsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; group is not looking to produce another miracle finish, and might not need one against the Browns.

BALTIMORE (1-0) AT SAN DIEGO (1-0) The Ravens were among the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dominant teams in their opener â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on offense. Where did that come from?

The recipe for a great fall surf fishing trip

F

rom now until just before Christmas is probably the best time of year to fish in the surf. Our coast, less than five hours away, is arguably the best surf fishing location in the world. This week at Hatteras, there were big drum, spot, sea mullet, Spanish mackerel, flounder, puppy drum, and my favorite fish to catch in the surf, False Albacore. It’s true that this was a good week, but I’ll assure you that there’ll be plenty of good weeks before this fishing season’s over.

The trick, and there’s always a trick, is being there when the fish bite. Some things can be planned for; others are as unpredictable as the wind’s direction. But making good choices will always improve your chances. There are factors to be avoided that’ll almost certainly make your trip a washout, literally, since Hatteras is subject to storms at any time.

PLAN Long-term plans can be made based on tides and moon phases. The best combinations involve dusk and dawn coinciding with high tide. The better of these is a full moon, which gives you a high tide just after dark and sunrise. You can plan ahead for tidal/lunar events and they definitely increase your chances.

Having a flexible schedule will double your chance of having success.

In the old days, smart fishermen called every day or two for offshore weather reports. Today, it’s easy. Just go to Frank and Fran’s Web site – http:// www.hatteras-island.com – and click on the Marine Weather link. It gives you regional wind direction and speed predictions for 5 days. It’s not always accurate, but it can keep you from going down to face three or four days of a 25-knot blow. It can also tip you off that a drum-producing southwest wind is coming. What you want is a couple of days of 5- to 10-knot southwest wind that builds to 15 or so before it changes. Almost every time this happens, there are big drum caught on the point. Add this with a sunrise/sunset high tide and you’ve got the best conditions for citation drum there is.

Another thing that can work for or against you is what’s going on that weekend. If I’m going to schedule a trip very far ahead of time, I try to make it the week of the Drum Tournament. This year, the N.C. Beach Buggy Association is hosting the Drum Tournament – my favorite event to fish. In fact, it’s the only fishing tournament I ever fish. If you’re not planning to fish the tournament, though, it’s still a

great weekend to come.

In the NCBBA Drum Tournament, the fishing begins at midnight on Wednesday and ends Saturday at 4 p.m. During that time, contestants are constantly SPORTS fishing and the Point at Hatteras is off limits.

Dick This means that the Jones Point is less crowded ■■■ than any other time during the peak of the season. A trip that begins on Wednesday and ends on the following Wednesday would give you three days of uncrowded fishing on the Point and, after the tournament, the holes that produced the winning fish on the north beaches would be easy to locate. If you must plan a long time ahead, this is arguably the best weekend of the fall. The Point will be less crowded on any day there’s a tournament going on, but remember, after the tournament’s over, the Point will be a zoo.

EAT With a kitchen, you have a choice of eating out or dining in. While there are a lot of great restaurants on Hatteras Island, I like to stay at a place with a kitchen. Eating every meal out is expensive and, since my hours when fishing don’t run 9 to 5, often limiting. If you decide to stay in a place with a kitchen to feed yourself, bring flour, oil, the seasonings you normally use, etc., with you. I learned a long time ago that buying that stuff at the beach just eats time and money and you have to leave it there or bring it home with you. Buy your eggs, bacon, meats, bread and milk on the island. Choose your time to shop wisely. There’s one chain food store on Hatteras Island and you don’t want to be shopping the Food Lion in Avon on a Saturday or Sunday at 3 p.m.

SLEEP Talking about being there with the crowd brings us to lodging. Many of my trips involve sleeping wherever I get sleepy, in my little camper, but most folks prefer more civilization than sleeping in the back of a truck with a dog. It’s true that, on the crowded weekends, motel rooms can be in short supply, but here’s another Hatteras Fall Fishing Tip. There are hundreds of rental houses that can be rented cheap and on short notice.

Beach house rentals are big business on the Outer Banks. In fall, however, probably 80 percent of the beach houses

are empty. This means you can rent a house on a moment’s notice any time after the designated end day provided the house isn’t reserved. Beach house rentals begin and end on Saturday and Sunday. If you’re leaving on Sunday, you have a slightly earlier checkout time than a motel, (9 a.m. most places) but, if you have a large crowd, you can save a bunch of money. Houses are very cheap in the fall. A six-bedroom house that rents for $5,000 a week in peak season rents for as little as $140 per night in fall. That’s less than $25 per night, per room, and you can simply choose a house that fits the size of your party.

There are also dog-friendly houses available, something that’s tough with a motel room. True, you don’t have someone to make your bed, but who cares?

FISH All this preparation is useless if you don’t have what you need to fish.

Fishing the big water of the Outer Banks requires specialized equipment – your-fresh water tackle simply won’t work unless you only plan to fish the sound. Fortunately, the best place to buy tackle to fish Hatteras is at Hatteras. My favorite shop is Frank and Fran’s, in Avon. It’s a friendly, familyrun shop with a practical mentality.

Prices are as good as anywhere and they have absolutely everything you need for a surf fishing trip, including a nice cigar. They even have fresh, free coffee.

You can get by with one rod on the Outer Banks provided the wind doesn’t get up. Unfortunately, the wind always gets up. You need a 9- or 10-foot light rod meant for 14- to 17-pound test and up to 3- or 4-ounce lures, and you need an 11- or 12-foot rod capable of heaving 8 to 12 ounces. Use fresh bait and change it often, keep a Stingsilver tied to a rod all the time in case the bluefish blitz, put the air in your tires down to 20 pounds or so…

I can’t cover everything. Just pick the best time you can and have fun.

This fall, I have a lot going on, but a man has to set his priorities and when the coastal weather forecast calls for that perfect wind, I’m putting the camper on the truck and heading down. If you see me on the beach, come by and say hi.

Kids’ dreams of playing baseball are about to come true

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – You want to hear about a real field of dreams?

Consider the poignant story of Tyler Ford, an 11-year-old Archdale boy so desperate to play baseball that he used to fall asleep every night with his mitt and a baseball lovingly cradled in his arms, with visions of home runs no doubt dancing in his head.

“That was kinda his way of saying how much he wanted to play,” says Tyler’s mom, Shanda Ford. “You know, Tyler can’t verbalize what he’s thinking, but little things like that tell you how he feels. We knew he wanted to play.”

Tyler has grown up in a baseball family – his dad, Scott, played the game and coached Tyler’s older brother Jordan, now 15, on several youth-league teams. But Tyler, who was born with a rare genetic disorder called Cri-du-chat syndrome, could only watch from the bleachers.

Oh, except for those occasions when he slipped away and ran out onto the field to

’Tyler has never gotten to play a team sport – he’s always had to step back.’

Shanda Ford Tyler’s mother get into the action. Yeah, he wants to play that much.

So if you don’t think Tyler’s excited about the new Miracle League of High Point – which will afford him and other children with serious physical and mental disabilities the chance to play organized team baseball – then you don’t know beans about baseball or about little boys’ dreams.

The long-awaited High Point Miracle Field, which will host its first games Saturday, is very literally Tyler’s field of dreams.

“He’s very, very excited,” Shanda says.

“His daddy’s gonna coach – and his big brother, too – and I’m gonna be the team mom.

“I think it’s wonderful these kids will have an opportunity to do something like this. Tyler has never gotten to play a team sport – he’s always had to step back.

When he would go to his brother’s baseball games, he always wanted to go out there and play, too, but he couldn’t. It was heartbreaking.”

Building is done; now players are needed

IGH POINT – Finally, it’s almost time to play ball.

After many months of planning, fundraising and building, the Miracle League of High Point will open its inaugural season Saturday with a dedication ceremony and two baseball games.

“We’ve been working so hard for this day,” says Allen Oliver, city parks and recreation director. “I know I’m biased, but I think we have the nicest Miracle League facility I’ve seen – and I’ve visited sev-

eral of them. Our hats are off to all the people who donated money, to Ed Price and Scott Tilley and the fundraising committee, and now my staff is excited because we get to do the programming part of it.”

Special guests Saturday morning will include Sam Hodgin, a Miracle League player in Cary who will throw out the first pitch, and Stephanie Davis, program director for the Miracle League’s national organization.

The league will have four teams, but there are still plenty of slots for more players.

“We have the nicest field you could imagine, but we need players,” Oliver says.

“We built this for the kids.”

The league is designed for children, ages 5-14, who have physical and/or mental disabilities that prevent them from playing in a traditional youth baseball program.

The season will last six weeks, according to Oliver.

In addition to more players, the league needs coaches and other volunteers.

“We need people to step forward and help us with this program,” Oliver says. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

The inaugural North Carolina Every Step Walk, a fundraising walk designed to educate people about the inequality of newborn screening from state to state, will be held Oct. 31 at Lake Crabtree County Park in Morrisville.

Registration will begin at 9 a.m., an opening ceremony will be held at 10 a.m., and the walk will begin at 10:30 a.m. Lunch and other activities, including live entertainment, will follow the walk.

Trick-or-treating stations will be set up along the walk, and familyfriendly costumes may be worn.

Proceeds will benefit the Hunter’s Hope Foundation, an advocacy organization for children born with Krabbe disease, a rare, often fatal degenerative disorder that affects the myelin sheath of the nervous system. The foundation was established by former NFL quarterback Jim Kelly and his wife, Jill, whose son Hunter was diagnosed with the disease.

Six affected families in North Carolina are organizing the walk to raise money for Krabbe disease and to raise awareness of the need for universal newborn screening, under which all states would equally test all newborns for the 54 treatable diseases that can be detected at birth by a simple heel prick that’s already being done.

Registration is $20 per person, which includes lunch and all activities.

Opening day for the Miracle League of High Point will be Saturday at the new field, which is located at the High Point Athletic Complex on School Park Road, across from Simeon Stadium.

A dedication ceremony will begin at 10 a.m., and baseball games will be played at 11 a.m. and noon.

More players are needed, as are additional coaches and volunteers.

Daughter is reluctant to be momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidante D

ear Abby: My mother and stepfather are divorcing after 30 years together. Mama has moved in with my husband, children and me.

My stepfather is alone in their house and struggling to pay the bills.

The problem is Mama wants to confide in me and tell me all her troubles with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donald.â&#x20AC;? I told her I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hear any of it because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to end up hating him. Donald is my childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather and the only father I have ever known. (There was no abuse involved in their marriage.)

Mother said I am her â&#x20AC;&#x153;best friend,â&#x20AC;? and I should â&#x20AC;&#x153;be thereâ&#x20AC;? for her. Then she burst into tears and left. Was I wrong? I told her I support her in every way, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I should be the one she talks to about her failed marriage. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discuss their relationship with my stepdad either. Please tell me how to handle this. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Listen in Delray Beach, Fla. Dear Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Listen: Please forgive the understatement, but the process of divorce is an extremely emotional

one. Your mother may be trying to justify why she walked out and force you to take sides.

Encourage her to express her hurt and disappointment to her spiritual adviser. He or ADVICE she is more qualified to guide your mom because Dear there is no emotional Abby involvement. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; P.S. You are not only a caring daughter, but also a very intelligent one. Hang in there.

Dear Abby: Our older daughter is almost 40. It has taken me decades to finally face the fact that she is self- centered, deceitful, manipulative, promiscuous, and enjoys the chaos and drama her bad choices cause. It has wrecked her life and is ruining her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives as well. Her lifestyle is radically different from ours and that of our younger daughter.

We have distanced ourselves. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love her â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we just cannot

Two stars: You can accomplish but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Dear Despairing Mom: No, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not â&#x20AC;&#x153;terrible.â&#x20AC;? In a case like this, backing off is a rational, self-protective reaction to the reality that your daughter is an adult and responsible for her own choices.

Dear Abby: I am a divorced woman with one child, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in a relationship with a younger man. He has his own home, and I have mine. He stays at my house three nights a week and every other weekend, when my child is not with me. He eats and grooms himself in my home and swims in the community pool.

He never offers to pay for anything, like food, movie tickets, etc. If we go out, he expects me to pay my own way.

In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world is there any responsibility on a man in a relationship to

pay for anything other than himself?

Are the days of men taking women out and paying for the date gone?

Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he offer to bring groceries during the times he spends at my home? What should a lady expect from a man in a dating relationship? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gal In Virginia Dear Gal: More than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting.

When someone is in a romantic relationship, there is usually some â&#x20AC;&#x153;courtingâ&#x20AC;? behavior involved. (Even birds of prey will bring their prospective mate a dead rat occasionally.) When two people care about each other, there is usually some give and take. But in your case you appear to be doing all the giving.

To My Muslim Readers: To all of you, a happy Eid al- Fitr!

Some forms of leukemia are worse than others D

ear Dr. Donohue: My 54year-old husband has been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Please explain this disease and how it affects longevity. We are very concerned about what to expect. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; C.L. Leukemia is an upsetting diagnosis. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancer of white blood cells, and the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;cancerâ&#x20AC;? never fails to alarm people. However, chronic lymphocytic leukemia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; CLL, the most common kind of leukemia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; does not always imply early death. Lymphocytes are one of the five kinds of white blood cells. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chronicâ&#x20AC;? indicates that the illness has a prolonged course for some. It usually strikes in the 60s, and is most often discovered not because of any signs or symptoms, but because of a high white blood cell count that was discovered on a routine examination.

Some people with this disease live for decades without showing signs of illness and without needing treatment. I know a man who has had this cancer for more than 10 years and is the picture of health.

He exercises daily by running and weightlifting. He does both very vigorously. On the other hand, some CLL patients have a rapid course and die in two to three years.

Symptoms, when they appear, include things like swollen lymph nodes, enlarged liver and spleen, anemia, a drop in blood platelets (the blood-clot-forming cells), fatigue, weight loss and drenching night sweats.

Prognosis is determined by a number of factors. One is the height of the lymphocyte count.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 76. I am the fifth of eight boys. Three had the shingles. Our parents are gone.

I want to get the shingles vaccine, but was told by friends that you cannot get the shot if you did not have chickenpox. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember whether I had chickenpox. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; P. Dear Dr. Donohue: I recovered from shingles a few years ago.

After hearing many horror stories about shingles, I wonder if I should consider getting the vaccine to prevent another outbreak. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; J.V. Almost every older American has been infected with the chickenpox virus, whether or not they can remember having had the illness. That indicates that almost all older Americans still harbor the chickenpox virus in their nerve cells. In later years, the virus escapes from nerve cells and travels down the nerve to the skin, where it brings about an outbreak of shingles. Therefore, all older people qualify for the shingles vaccine, regardless of their ability to remember having had chickenpox.

Authorities recommend that

those who have had a shingles outbreak get the vaccine. It is true that a shingles outbreak affords some protection against a second outbreak, but return visits from the shingles virus do occur, so, J.V., you qualify for the vaccine.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I, like the letter-writer P.G., had to run to the bathroom constantly in order not to have an accident. I wanted to see my grandson graduate from college, so I consulted a urologist. He sent me to a place where treatments with an electrical probe were given. I went for six weeks and also did Kegel exercises.

The quality of my life changed for the better, and now I square dance and do aerobics. Incontinence is no longer a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; E.M. Electrical stimulation of the pelvic muscles has successfully allowed many women to regain bladder control. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for all, however. The stimulation strengthens muscles that keep the bladder closed, and controls overactive bladder wall muscles that contract forcefully and frequently.

Another technique is a device that delivers electric current to spinal nerves in the lower back. If those nerves respond to the current and keep the bladder closed, then a small unit is implanted under the skin for a permanent solution to this problem. One such device is called the InterStim.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

You can conquer cat’s bad habit D

ear Dr. Fox: I just read your column titled “Kitten bites should ease as the animal matures.”

My daughter has two cats that she got from the local shelter. One is about 6 months old and the other about 1 year. She adopted them a short while back and they are compatible, but for the last two months they were pretty much alone except for daily visits from my husband and myself.

My daughter’s husband was stricken with a heart attack and spent the last two months in a critical care unit a few hours from home. My daughter spent every day with him away from home. He lost his legs and part of his hands. He is back home now.

One of the cats is a constant licker. It appears his one way of showing affection is tied in with the grooming process and he does it continually. My daughter is worried about her husband’s wounds – the cat’s tongue is rough and he is very intense about his licking.

Do you think this licking will stop now that the parents are home?

How can they help him to stop? They are wonderful cats. – M.G., Boynton Beach, Fla. Dear M.G.: I sympathize with your sonin-law’s condition and hope that he has been advised about diet and various supplements to help facilitate his healing.

Cats are often attracted to various skin lotions and will try to lick them off when applied to human companions.

Aloe vera gel has excellent healing qualities and is less attractive to cats than other products.

Cat licking is a socialgrooming behavior that is a display of affection that may also help the cat feel more secure and relaxed. Punishing the cat for licking is no solution.

Try re-motivation, including brushing the cat and giving him a toy like a cat wand or fish pole to play with.

Simply pushing the cat away and then throwing a fluffy toy may also help.

Ideally, both cats should be on your sonin-law’s lap or chest, just purring and being petted – both have beneficial healing effects.

Dear Dr. Fox: What can I do about a cat with pancreatitis? I have been reading your column about pet teeth cleaning and what to use to prevent the need to have it done again.

You mentioned changing a pet’s diet.

My pet female Sia-

mese is 4 years old. I rescued her about six months ago fro the ANIMAL Humane Society.

DOCTOR I was not told that Dr. Michael she had Fox pancre■■■ atitis.

This was finally discovered after a couple of visits to our vet where extensive tests were done. She is now on prescription food and doing well.

Your book, “Not Fit for a Dog: The Truth About Manufactured Dog and Cat Foods” talks about the perils of manufactured pet foods. What am I to do? I want to give her what is best for the pancreatitis, so she has to have low-fat foods.

But how can I keep her teeth clean with the items you mentioned: raw chicken-wing tips/feet, sliced strips of turkey gizzards and raw beef hearts? I cannot give my cat these items, as they may cause her pancreatitis to flare up.

And what to do about constipation? Can I give her 2 to 3 tablespoons of raw organic yogurt daily in the food or 1 to 2 teaspoons of coconut oil? I only want to do what’s best for my cat.

kids bat, circle the bases and play in the field.

In Tyler’s case, a major symptom of his Cri-duchat syndrome is low muscle tone, as well as fine motor skill problems, so he’ll probably require help swinging the bat and possibly running the bases, his mother says.

“He doesn’t need a walker, but he has a lot of balance issues,” she explains. “He might be running and just all of a sudden fall over.”

That’s where the Miracle Field’s customdesigned, rubberized turf will come into play – something that’s not available in regular youth baseball leagues.

Michele Stopher, of Asheboro, says the Miracle League will be a blessing for her daughter, 7-year-old Ma’Keilah, who has moyamoya syndrome, an inherited disease in which certain arteries in the brain are constricted. In addition to DON DAVIS JR. | HPE developmental delays, Ma’Keilah Stopher and her mother, Michele, walk on the Ma’Keilah has weakness Miracle Field. on her left side and has

“It’s important for me to have my baby be involved with a team sport, since none of the other team sports have the patience or resources for a child with special needs,” Stopher says.

“There’s nothing for them to do, and as a mom, I just want to make sure any opportunity I can give her, that she gets it.

I’m tremendously excited to know our special kids in the community are gonna have a resource where they are involved in a team event no matter what their ability is.”

That sense of belonging is critical for specialneeds children, Ford agrees.

Conde Nast Traveler celebrates national parks series NEW YORK (AP) – Conde Nast Traveler is marking Ken Burns’ new PBS series about the national parks, “America’s Best Idea,” with a look at 10 national parks and recommendations for how to see them.

The magazine looks at five parks in its September issue and another five online at www.cntraveler.com/ nationalparks.

In print, Conde Nast Traveler

mentions Glacier National Park in Montana, known for its Going-tothe-Sun Road; Great Smoky National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee, 75 years old this year and the most popular national park in the country, with 9 million visitors; Olympic National Park in Washington, with glacier-capped mountains and temperate rainforests; Yellowstone National Park, in Wyoming, known for wildlife like bison and

elk as well as spectacular geothermal features like its famous geysers; and Yosemite National Park in California, where the 2.2-mile hike up to Sentinel Dome provides a 360-degree view of the scenery.

Online, Conde Nast Traveler has more information on five other parks: Acadia in Maine, Grand Canyon in Arizona, Denali in Alaska, the Rockies in Colorado and Volcanoes in Hawaii.

Dear C.W.: As long as your cat is doing well on the prescription diet that is low in fat and protein, I would not change her diet. Later on, you may be able to transition her onto a more natural diet.

Your veterinarian must rule out all possible causes, notably bad teeth. One abscessed tooth in cats (and dogs) can cause havoc to internal organs. So can some manufactured cat foods that are linked to another disease of the pancreas (namely diabetes) as well as fatty liver disease and arthritis.

Try a product like Petzlife Oral Care spray or gel on her teeth once they have been thoroughly checked.

Also, discuss with your veterinarian giving her supportive pancreatic digestive enzymes and probiotics.

The constipation may be alleviated with psyllium husks, provided she has a good fluid intake. A tablespoon daily of low-fat yogurt may also help.

Pedal your way around Copenhagen

BY JAN OLSEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

Boats are docked in Copenhagen’s picturesque Nyhavn harbor.

FILE | AP

This May file photo shows the Copenhagen City Hall and its tower and the lake in the Tivoli amusement park.

FAMOUS PLACES: Keep in mind that the Little Mermaid, Copenhagen’s famed landmark statue, won’t be on her perch during most of 2010 because the bronze goes on display at the World Expo in Shanghai, China. She is expected to be boxed and shipped away in late March-early April and will be back by late 2010.

Other conventional sights include the Tivoli gardens, Copenhagen’s hippie enclave Christiania, and the Amalienborg Palace where Denmark’s royal family live. All are free but Tivoli. The entrance ticket to the downtown amusement park is at $16.40 (85 kroner) and each rides cost at least $3.80 (20 kroner) – www.tivoli.dk/composite-3351.htm.

Tivoli is open from late April to mid-September, one week in October and has a Christmas market in December. Tivoli is closed for the rest of the year. A free-access Christmas market can be found in Nyhavn across town. Yule treats, deco-

rations and knitwear are sold from colored booths in the winter darkness.

The Danish capital has no museum for fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen, who was born in central Denmark. But there are two statues of him in Copenhagen, where he lived – and died. The Magasin du Nord department store has kept a tiny attic room where he briefly lived as a student. Access is free through the store.

PUBLIC SPACES: Rosenborg Castle is another much-photographed landmark and home to the Crown Jewels – www.rosenborgslot.dk. The Dutch Renaissance castle is centrally located in the Kongens Have park, where Danes love to picnic. The gardens are also home for the Royal Life Guards, which parade

through the city every day at noon. The changing of the guards at the Amalienborg Palace is a popular tourist attraction.

Leave downtown and head out to the Vesterbro district, right behind the central railway station.

Once known for its working-class slum, red-light districts and dozens of sex shops, Vesterbro’s artery Istedgade was made famous when Denmark became the first country in the world to legalize pornography in 1969. Vesterbro has since undergone a massive transformation and is now a hip neighborhood with funky shops, trendy cafes, lounge bars, restaurants and night clubs. But Vesterbro has retained its touch of folksiness.

North of Vesterbro lies the multiethnic district of Noerrebro, another working-class slum neighborhood-turnedhip. Its main street, Noerrebrogade, has been closed to cars to favor bicyclists, and the street is home to dozens of cheap ethnic restaurants. Explore the streets next to Sankt Hans square with its low-cost eateries and shops.

MUSEUMS: Take advantage of free admission to state-run museums including the National Museum, the Museum of Danish Resistance and the National Gallery. Other museums offer free admission on different days: Sundays, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek – best known for its impressionist paintings, antique sculptures and Etruscan collection;

Wednesdays, the Danish Design Center (5 p.m.-9 p.m.); and Fridays, the Copenhagen City Museum.

EVENTS: As days shorten considerably during the winter months, Danes tend to stay indoors. But on Oct. 13, the popular Night of Culture is held. Buy a pass for $17 (85 kroner), and you have free access to some 200 cultural institutions till midnight

City officials claim that onethird of the residents of Copenhagen bike to work or school every day.

– www.kulturnatten. dk/en During the summer, the streets are abuzz with festival and music. Copenhagen was a prominent jazz scene in the 1960s and 1970s, when many American jazz players settled in the Danish capital. The annual jazz festival still draws big names in early July – www.jazz.dk/en/ copenhagen-jazz-festival.

CHEAP EATS: A real Danish staple: red sausages sold from small huts on wheels parked on major squares. The street vendors offer frankfurters, hot-dogs and pork hamburgers with slices of pickled cucumbers and red cabbage. Ethnic food include Asian food and shawar-

ma, the Middle Eastern sandwichlike wrap, and cost $5.80-6.75 (30-35 kroner). There used to be lots of shops selling takeaway smoerrebroed, the open Danish sandwiches, but the slices of rye bread with toppings have lost ground to other lunch food. One of the few remaining such shops is Centrum Smoerrebroed at Vesterbrogade 6, across from the central railway station. The popular shop sells picnic takeaway and beers for a real Danish lunch in the open. Food in Vesterbro and Noerrebro generally are cheaper than in downtown.

ACCOMMODATIONS: There are several youth hostels in the heart of Copenhagen where a room for two with toilet and bath cost from $100 (520 kroner) or half the price of a regular hotel room. Try www.danhostel.dk/content/us. The downtown hostels include one in a high-rise on the harbor and another on a cozy square with cafes. To those who have forgotten a valid international hostel card, they can buy a guest card at $6.75 (35 kroner) per night.

Bed linen and towels can be rented at the front desk. Another option are the low-price hotels Cabinn – www. cabinn.com/English/ kbh/kbh.html – with rates starting at about $93 (485 kroner).

OPENHAGEN – The Danish capital might rank among the world’s most expensive cities with pricey food and steep hotel bills. A beer on the picturesque Nyhavn harbor can be a costly experience and a stroll through the city’s famed Tivoli gardens can easily be a larger-than-thought expense. However, Copenhagen can easily be affordable for those on a budget – with a little help from pedal power and a discount card.

The CPHCARD gives you free entry to some 60 museums and attractions, free transport by train, bus and subway – including to and from the airport – and discounts on some restaurants and sights. The card must be ordered before your trip, as it cannot be purchased once you are here; details at http://tinyurl. com/m76qag.

GETTING AROUND: The heart of Copenhagen is small and most sights are within walking distance.

One way to explore the city is to do like Danes ... on two-wheelers. Danes are eager cyclists and there are 190 miles of bicycle paths in Copenhagen. City officials claim that one-third of the residents bike to work or schools every day. And Danes pedal all year, rain or shine. So can visitors. Several bicycle shops rent bikes all year round from $15 (75 kroner) a day – http:// cykelboersen.dk/en/.

And from mid-April to November, there are free bicycles around the city. To get one, insert a 20-kroner coin – which costs about $3.80 – in the bicycle locks in the same way travelers get luggage carts at airports.

Bicyclists get the coin back when they return the Bycykel – Danish for city bike – to one of special racks. The clunky, no-frills bikes have a handy map attached to the handlebar.

The city also has a well-functioning transit system. A one-hour ride with the bus, commuter train or subway costs $4 (21 kroner). But buy a 10-ride card at $25 (130 kroner) and each trip will then cost you $2.50 (13 kroner). In 2009, the City Cirkel line was launched, providing small environmentfriendly, yellow buses that drive every seventh minute near the main sights for the price of a regular ride – www. citycirkel.dk/en/citysights.php. They’re much cheaper than the sightseeing buses that tour the capital.

The public transportation operator also has a so-called “harbor bus” that zigzags through the harbor. A ride costs the same as a regular bus ticket. Another cheap way of discovering the city from that perspective is the Netto Boats that take you down the harbor and canals for one hour – www.nettobaadene.dk/.

If hills are your friend.

Stats tell the tale, from a group trip in the spring measured by GPS: 10,749 feet of climbing and 9,290 feet of descending. It was a character-building, calorie-burning labor of limbs, a continual cycle of gritted teeth and grins that added up to an epic weekend ride.

RONT ROYAL, Va. – Skyline Drive specializes in solitude mixed with pulse-racing exhilaration. You can get that three ways as autumn colors come alive across the Blue Ridge Mountains.

You can bike it, all 105 miles of Skyline Drive’s ups, downs, twists and vistas.

You can hike its backcountry trails through a land of ridges, waterfalls, hardwood forest and pesky bears.

Or you can drive it, just as the distant generation that created the road intended for the generations to come.

Skyline Drive took shape in the Depression, the handiwork of a government that really did have projects shovelready.

Shovels carved a road along the serpentine spine of the Blue Ridge, creating desperately needed jobs and opening panoramas to the masses that were once the preserve of mountain people and moonshiners scattered in the hills until the feds drove them to valleys below.

Today, Americans struggling with economic calamity of their own enjoy a reclaimed wilderness handed down from their ancestors’ “stimulus package.”

By wheels or foot, Skyline Drive and the national park it dissects – Shenandoah – offer a breathtaking respite from the clamor of Washington some 70 miles away. It’s also a road less traveled for long-distance motorists willing to trade the utilitarian speed of parallel north-south Interstate 81 for the 35-mph peace of the mountains.

A. We have special rules called “work incentives” that help you keep your cash benefits and Medicare while you test your ability to work.

For example, there is a trial work period during which you can receive full benefits regardless of how much you earn, as long as you report your work activity and continue to have a disabling impairment.

The trial work period continues until you accumulate nine months (not necessarily consecutive) in which you perform what we call “services” within a rolling 60-month period. We consider your work to be “services” if you earn more than $700 a month.

After the trial work period ends, your benefits will stop for months your earnings are at a level we consider “substantial,” currently $980 in 2009. Different amounts apply to people who are disabled because of blindness. The monthly substantial amount for statutorily blind individuals for 2009 is $1,640.

For an additional 36 months after completing the trial work period, we can start your benefits again if your earnings fall below the “substantial” level and you continue to have a disabling impairment. For

A. The easiest way to get a handle on Medicare prescription drug plans is to use the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder at www.medicare. gov. There you can find and compare plans in your area.

Intellectual stimulation has good effect on kids’ brains Q

uestion: What causes a child to be a “slow learner” – one who just doesn’t learn like other children in the classroom?

Dr. Dobson: There are many hereditary, environmental, and physical factors which contribute to one’s intellect, and it is difficult to isolate the particular influences.

For many children who have difficulty in school, we will never know precisely why their ability to learn is limited. Let me tell you what is now known about intellectual development that may explain some – but not all – cases of learning deficits.

Accumulating evidence seems to indicate that some children who are slow learners and even those who have borderline retardation may not have received proper intellectual stimulation in their very early years.

There appears to be a critical period during the first three to four years when the potential for intellectual growth must be seized. There are structural changes in the brain that must be activated during this brief window. If the opportunity is missed, the child may never reach his capacity.

Children who grow up in deprived circumstances are more likely to be slow learners. They may not have heard adult language regularly. They have not been provided with interesting books and puzzles to occupy their sensory apparatus.

They have not been taken to the zoo, the airport or other exciting places.

They have not received daily training and guidance from adults. This lack of stimulation may inhibit the brain from

The effect of early stimulation on living brains FOCUS has been studied ON THE in several FAMILY fascinating animal Dr. James experiDobson ments. In ■■■ one study, researchers divided a litter of rats into two identical groups. The first was given maximum stimulation during the first few months of life. These rats were kept in well-lit cages, surrounded by interesting paddle wheels and other toys. They were handled regularly and allowed to explore outside their cages. They were subjected to learning experiences and then rewarded for remembering. The second group lived the opposite kind of existence. These rats crouched in dimly lit, drab, uninteresting cages. They were not handled or stimulated in any way and were not permitted outside their cages. Both groups were fed identical food.

At 105 days of age, all the rats were sacrificed to permit examination of their neurological apparatus. The researchers were surprised to find that the high-stimulation rats had brains that differed in several important ways: (1) the cortex (the thinking part of the brain) was thicker and wider; (2) the blood supply was much more abundant; (3) the neurochemicals necessary for learning were more sophisticated. The researchers concluded that the stimulation experienced during the first group’s early lives

BAILOUT BLUES: Poll shows most Americans against tax money helping ailing firms. 2F

EMPTY PLATE

AP

David O’Bryan uses a computer to search the Internet for jobs in Barre, Vt.

No job is safe Labor market’s tough, but there are ways to get back in the game NEW YORK (AP) — As the unemployment rate climbs to almost 10 percent, no industry or profession has been spared when employers needed to cut jobs. That includes fields once considered untouchable.

Big national law firms are letting partners go.

Following them out the door are senior associates who were on the partner track. The same is true for tenured teachers and professors, high-ranking accountants at top-tier firms and white-collar corporate managers.

“Imagine along your career, you never were thinking about the possibility of being laid off. You might not have a financial cushion on place. You haven’t spent time networking.

You haven’t kept up your skills,” said Peter Cappelli, a professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business.

“It is a worse situation than for folks in jobs who had some expectation that their jobs weren’t safe,” he said.

It’s difficult to deal with the reality that your seemingly secure job is gone, but there are ways to get back into the working world. First, you need to formulate a plan:

STOP THE BLAME GAME No one is saying you have to wake up the morning after a stunning job loss recharged and ready to pursue the next phase of your life. When you’ve built a career at a particular job, there’s likely to be a mourning period after a layoff.

Accept that you are

AP

Two women learn to write a resume during a class at JobTrain, an educational and training institution that also offers career counseling and job placement services, in Menlo Park, Calif. going to feel down, and don’t beat yourself up for what has happened.

“This is such a bad economic downturn that it is crushing organizations,” Cappelli said. “It’s like a one-in-a-100-years flood.”

Understanding that should help get you back on your feet faster.

FACE THE FACTS More than 6.9 million jobs have been cut in the United States during the recession, and there is a good chance many won’t come back as soon as economic growth picks up again, or possibly ever.

For instance, 1,004 teaching jobs in Detroit have been cut, and 397 were tenured positions, which typically means they have seniority and are covered under strict termination and due process requirements.

The layoffs were forced by economic necessity.

The school district is projecting budget deficits as its enrollment plunges, according to Keith Johnson, president

of the Detroit Federation of Teachers.

That means those teachers can’t count on being rehired by the Detroit school district anytime soon. They will have to find work elsewhere.

GET SMART It’s easy to get complacent with your skills when you work at the same place for a long time. A job loss forces you to break out of the comfort zone.

Teachers might want to consider different subject areas — for example, a high school history teacher might want to think about switching to literature. Accountants might need to become proficient in other areas of corporate financial reporting or the tax code.

Sam Pollack was laid off from the law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft in August 2008 as the financial crisis began to intensify. The 32-year-old had worked on deals involving mortgage-backed securities, a market that completely

froze as demand for such assets evaporated amid the downturn in real estate.

“If you work hard, go to good schools, you believe you will be in a good place,” Pollack said. “I knew my layoff wasn’t due to my personal performance, but it still hasn’t been easy.”

To make himself marketable to new employers, Pollack is trying to sharpen his skills. He has taken continuing education courses in areas of the law where he isn’t as knowledgeable, such as bankruptcy, and he’s making sure he’s up to date on new securities rules and regulations. He also is networking “like crazy,” hoping that will land him an in-house legal job at a company.

Ramping up your knowledge doesn’t have to be costly. Seek out free programs, which often can be found through trade organizations or businesses in your industry.

For instance, LexisNexis is offering the Lend a Hand program for out-of-work attorneys. The program in-

cludes a free six-month profile to both its Lawyers.com Web site, which consumers and small businesses use to find lawyers, and its Martindale.com Web site, which provides information on attorneys and law firms. In addition, participants can get access to the company’s MartindaleHubbell Connected site, an online community for legal professionals, and the Martindale-Hubbell Career Center, which is a resource to help attorneys find legal jobs in local areas.

DON’T BE TOO PROUD You got to a comfortable place in your career by working hard. Unfortunately, you’ll have to do it all over again.

That means being flexible in your job search. It’s OK to accept positions below your previous title if it gets you into the door. Then you can prove yourself a valuable asset to your new employer, said Mickey Matthews, vice president for North America at the executive recruiting firm Stanton Chase International.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Food banks across the country are being stretched by a recession-fueled surge in first time users, according to a survey released last week.

Feeding America, a nonprofit organization aimed at fighting hunger, surveyed 176 food banks across the country. Of those, 99 percent reported a significant uptick in requests for food, and 98 percent pinned the increase on new visitors to food banks.

The survey dovetails with data from the Agriculture Department, which reported earlier this month that requests for food stamps had increased for the eighth month in a row in June and that a record number of people – more than 35 million – received aid.

Food bank administrators said they fear the increase will mean they won’t be able to provide as much aid as they have in the past.

“It’s a real worry,” said Kitty Schaller, the executive director of MANNA FoodBank in Asheville, N.C. Schaller said high unemployment has fueled unprecedented demand for assistance at her food bank, which serves 16 mostly rural counties in western North Carolina.

“We have had good help, including from the federal government, but in some cases we are worried we can’t do as much,” Schaller said.

Joan Wadkins, a spokeswoman for Second Harvest Heartland, a food bank network based in Minneapolis, said her organization expanded its storage capacity over the summer and demand continues to increase.

“We are fortunate because donations have continued to be generous,” Wadkins said. “But we have a lot of people who need help.”

Questions concern offshore wind farm, veteran population THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Q. I’ve heard that the number of living U.S. veterans has been steadily declining in recent decades. Why has this happened?

Linda Johnson Del Rio, Texas A. The number of living veterans in America has been dropping over the last several decades because the military has never produced as many vets as it did in the 1940s.

There were more than 12 million people in uniform at the peak strength of the armed forces in 1945 – a draft military that fought World War II. When the war ended, the size of the military dropped to 2.5 million by the next year, according to Pentagon data.

There were some increases in the force during the Korean conflict, when the military peaked at 3.6 million in 1952, and for the Vietnam War when it hit 3.5 million in 1968. But the size of the armed services has remained pretty much around the million to 1.4 million mark ever since the post-Cold War drawdown of the 1990s. There are 1.4 million people in the active duty all-volunteer Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force today.

Meanwhile, as the active forces have gotten smaller, aging veterans have been dying at a rate of well over 630,000 a year

Supporters say the project will provide cheaper energy, reduce pollution and create green jobs.

Developer Cape Wind Associates LLC hopes the nation’s first offshore wind farm – estimated to cost $1.2 billion – will be operational by the end of 2011. The company says it could provide up to 420 megawatts of power, or 75 percent of Cape Cod’s power demands.

Poll: Public opposes stake in ailing firms WASHINGTON (AP) – Americans decidedly oppose the government’s efforts to save struggling companies by taking ownership stakes even if failure of the businesses would cost jobs and harm the economy, a new poll shows.

The Associated Press-National Constitution Center poll of views on the Constitution found little support for the idea that the government had to save AIG, the world’s largest insurer, mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the iconic American company General Motors last year because they were too big to fail.

Just 38 percent of Americans favor government intervention – with 60 percent opposed – to keep a company in business to prevent harm to the economy.

The number in favor drops to a third when jobs would be lost, without greater damage to the economy.

Similarly strong views showed up over whether the president should have more power at the expense of Congress and the courts, if doing so would help the economy. Threefourths of Americans said no, up from two-thirds last year.

“It really does ratify how much

Americans are against the federal government taking over private industry,” said Paul J. Lavrakas, a research psychologist and AP consultant who analyzed the results of the survey.

Michael Butts, 61, a longtime worker in the oil business in southeastern New Mexico, said Lavrakas was right. “People put their money up and either they make it or they don’t. That’s just the way it is,” said Butts, who lives in Artesia, N.M. But James O’Toole, a mechanic from Monson, Mass., said the government needed to step in to prevent even more jobs from being

lost in the rocky economy. “So far, it seems to have helped,” said O’Toole, 53.

Nearly eight months into Barack Obama’s presidency, most people believe laws to protect the voting rights of minorities are no longer needed.

Nearly two-thirds oppose preferences for minorities in hiring.

“I think that the best person for the job should get the job. I don’t think somebody should be promoted over somebody because of their sex or race. It should be based on merit, not on any other sort of criteria,” said Summer

Crane, 30, who works in accounting in Ukiah, Calif.

The poll found a small majority in support of extending to samesex couples the same benefits given to married, heterosexual couples. By a similar margin, however, Americans oppose government recognition of gay marriage.

On other big issues of the day, the public was split over whether the government should assure that everyone has health insurance and undocumented workers in the United States should be given a path to become citizens.

Automakers energize electric car business FRANKFURT (AP) — The race is on among the world’s auto companies to make electric cars go farther on a single charge, bring the price down to compete with gas-powered vehicles, and give drivers more places to recharge them than just the family garage.

Electric is the big buzz at the 63rd Frankfurt Auto Show this week, and nearly every major automaker has at least one on display. Renault

introduced no fewer than four electric models, while Tesla, the only company producing and selling purely electric cars, handed over the keys to its 700th all-electric vehicle, a blue Roadster Sport, to a German buyer at the show.

If the models unveiled Tuesday are any indication, the notion of electric cars as small, stunted boxes with little range is about to be junked.

“People have realized that

... electric vehicles don’t have to be golf carts,” said Diarmuid O’Connell, vice president of business development for Tesla Motors Inc. “They don’t have to be anemic little putt-putts.”

The company’s sleek, two-seat Roadster — which in the U.S. sells for $101,500 (euro69,500) — has a range of 244 miles (393 kilometers) on one charge. Its planned Model S, which will seat seven and has a 300-mile (483-kilometer) range, will go for $49,900.

Others automakers, including BMW, General Motors and Daimler, are also developing electricpowered vehicles, including hybrid cars that boast a small gas or diesel engine backed up with an electrical motor, and say the prices will drop as bulky batteries become smaller, faster to charge and easier to replace.

Daimler said it will put its first electricity generating fuel-cell car on the road by the end of this year.

Drew Barrymore wheels into directing with ‘Whip It’ T

ORONTO (AP) – Drew Barrymore chose a real balancing act for her directing debut. She does it on wheels, directing and acting alongside “Juno” co-star Ellen Page in “Whip It,” a rowdy tale of roller-derby women.

Barrymore had never put on skates before shooting the movie, spending a month alongside castmates learning the ropes in a rollerderby boot camp.

Her training as a director has been going on for years, since she began producing movies in the 1990s, her credits including her “Charlie’s Angels” adventures and her Adam Sandler romance “50 First Dates.”

Once they acquired the rights to roller-derby player Shauna Cross’ book “Whip It,” Barrymore and producing partner Nancy Juvonen began casting about for a director.

Before long, Barrymore realized this was the one she had to direct herself.

“I’ve been producing for 15 years, and it’s all been preparing for the big test. I really care so much about what I do, and I love filmmaking so much. I love every detail and every aspect of it,” Barrymore, 34, said in an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival, where “Whip It” premiered in advance of its Oct. 2 theatrical release.

“I think slow and steady wins the race, too. I didn’t need to direct when I was 21. I wanted to produce and learn about the filmmaking process and understand every element going into it, so that by the time I did direct, I was as knowledgeable and well-prepared as possible.”

“Whip It” stars Page as Texas teen Bliss Cavendar, who follows the path of her mom (Marcia Gay Harden), a former beauty queen overseeing her daughter’s rise on the pageant circuit.

On a whim, Bliss tries out for a cellar-dweller roller-derby team,

discovering she’s a natural skater and soon leading her squad on an underdog quest for the local league championship. Kristen Wiig, singer Eve, stuntwoman Zoe Bell and Barrymore co-star as some of Page’s teammates, with Juliette Lewis cast as her nemesis, the star of the league’s top team.

Barrymore proudly notes she cast Page before production began on “Juno,” the 2007 Toronto festival hit that shot her to stardom, becoming a $100 million smash and earning her a best-actress Academy Award nomination.

Page, 22, said she has looked up to Barrymore since her early teens, admiring her for the strong women she has presented on screen as both an actor and producer.

“She’s maintained such a sense of identity, she’s never let herself be pigeonholed, she’s never worried about what people think,” Page said.

In this Aug. 21 file photo, Reba McEntire performs in Central Park on ABC’s “Good Morning America” show in New York.

McEntire back on top WASHINGTON (AP) – Reba McEntire is in a new and strangely familiar place.

She’s on a brand new record label, Valory Music Company, and her first solo studio album in six years, “Keep On Loving You,” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s country album charts.

McEntire is no stranger to the top spot.

She’s sold more than 55 million albums and garnered 33 No. 1 hits throughout her career. She’s also no stranger to the people at Valory, including its president and CEO, Scott Borchetta. They worked together when he was a top executive at McEntire’s old label, MCA Nashville, in the 1990s. “I know a lot of their ways of doing things,” McEntire said. “And so it was just kinda like a family reunion, getting back together again and getting to work with Scott and his team. We’re having a wonderful time.”

Borchetta also famously launched Taylor Swift’s career through Valory’s sister label, Big Machine Records.

McEntire could see a collaboration with Swift in the future.

“I’d love to sing with Taylor,” said McEntire. “She’s a wonderful gal, and as young as she is, she’s got a wonderful head on her shoulders with business sense. She’s a great writer, a great performer. Boy, the sky’s the limit for Taylor.”

One thing McEntire, 54, shares on her new album is life experience. She co-wrote the song, “She’s Turning 50 Today.”

“We changed a little bit, especially on the second verse, because I wanted it to be more personal. I did have a divorce in 1987 when I left Oklahoma and came to Nashville. So, I wanted it to be a little bit more persona,” she said.

McEntire is up for two Country Music Association Awards this year – female vocalist of the year and musical event of the year for her performance with Brooks & Dunn on “Cowgirls Don’t Cry.” She retains her position as the female artist with the highest number of nominations in the 43-year history of the Country Music Association Awards with 48.

Neil Patrick Harris takes on the Emmys

Universal reveals details of Potter park M

IAMI (AP) – It sounds like a new book in the Harry Potter series, but “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey” will be a high-tech ride and the marquee attraction at the “Wizarding World of Harry Potter,” a new theme park area opening in spring 2010 at Universal Orlando Resort.

The “Forbidden Journey” ride was named by author J.K. Rowling and described Tuesday

by Universal officials in a Web cast revealing details of what the Potter park will look like.

The ride will take guests through scenes and rooms from the blockbuster movies inside a richly detailed remake of Hogwarts Castle made to look 700 feet tall.

Hogwarts is where Harry attends a boarding school for witches and wizards.

Guests will enter the “Wizarding World” through a station archway named for Hogsmeade, the magical village near Hogwarts.

A plume of steam and a train whistle will sound the arrival of the Hogwarts Express.

The goal is to make the experience immersive, so nothing outside is visible after guests pass the Hogsmeade station archway.

Rowling, known for carefully guarding the Potter franchise, hasn’t yet journeyed to Orlando, but the design team has made several trips to London to consult with her.

Other rides include the “Dragon Challenge,” a twin high-speed roller coaster themed after the “Triwizard Tournament” and the family roller coaster “Flight of the Hippogriff,” named for a creature with an eagle’s head and a horse’s body.

“Along those journeys

they’re going to be swept up into the greatest parts of the movies and the books. We’ve pushed every technology available to us to give guests a theme park experience unlike any they’ve had before,” said Paul Daurio, producer of the Potter area.

The Harry Potter park will be part of Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

Art and set directors from the films, including Oscar-winning production designer Stuart Craig and art director Alan Gilmore, were hired to translate the movies into the park.

Every shop and eatery is Potter-themed. Honeydukes sells chocolate frogs and “Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans,” Ollivander’s peddles magic wands, Zonko’s joke shop has Sneakoscopes, and the British restaurant Three Broomsticks pours Butterbeer.

At The Owl Post, guests can send letters with a certified Hogsmeade postmark. Magical instruments and equipment are available at Dervish and Banges, including everything needed to play Quidditch – a game like soccer played on flying broomsticks.

“The interesting thing about Harry Potter is that the stories are so rich in themselves, so deep,” said Universal Creative President Mark Woodbury. “There wasn’t so much difficulty of creating the look, it was, ’How do you execute at a level of authenticity that is unquestionable?”’

There could even be new footage of Potter stars shot on actual sets from “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” and “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”

A Universal spokesman declined comment on the issue.

The Emmy Awards are scheduled for tonight. director in me, but I was way more interested in how the show was structured and not as interested in how the host is doing.”

Harris also wanted to ensure he has “decent material,” asking comedian-writer Paul Greenberg, a longtime friend, and writer Joe Kelly from “How I Met Your Mother” to help craft it. The sitcom’s executive producers, Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, joined in.

Harris’ hands-on approach appears sound. With him and fanfavorite musicals on board for the Tony ceremony, Broadway’s big night posted a 19 percent increase over last year’s show and drew its biggest audience in three years.

In contrast, the 2008 Emmys were the least-watched ever, with

12.3 million viewers, and offered perhaps the worst-received hosting performance since David Letterman brought his late-night act to the Academy Awards.

It took five reality show hosts to push the Emmys off a cliff, as the ceremony tried to woo viewers of the popular genre. It was an understandable gambit, given the niche series that dominated the nominees, if poorly executed.

The same critically acclaimed but low-rated shows, including “Mad Men” and “30 Rock,” are leading the pack again this time around. They are facing more competition, with categories expanded to seven nominees instead of the usual five to make room for more popular fare such as “House,” which made the cut.

The new ride will be located at Universal’s Islands of Adventure and will provide visitors with a one-of-a-kind experience complete with multiple attractions, shops and a signature eating establishment.

OS ANGELES (AP) – If only one awards show host at a time holds the “it” title, then the current darling is Neil Patrick Harris.

Harris entered the big leagues with this year’s Tony Awards, using his musical theater skills and easy charm to win over the audience and critics. A phone call enlisting him as host of tonight’s Emmy Awards (8 p.m. EDT, CBS) followed – which leaves a certain movie ceremony for the hat trick.

“Tonys, Emmys, and then there’s only one thing left – the Telemundo Awards,” quipped Harris.

Harris, 36, who gained teenage fame in “Doogie Howser, M.D.” before moving onstage to “Rent” and other plays, stars in “How I Met Your Mother” and is a bestsupporting actor nominee for the CBS comedy.

Emmy executive producer Don Mischer says he has the right man for the job, one who will prove a graceful and funny host and can be entertaining in “short pops.”

“He’s terrific with that,” Mischer said.

“And because Neil doesn’t feel the need to come out and hit a home run every time Harris he makes an appearance, that frees him up to have a more consistent presence in the show. ... I think that keeps the energy of the show up.”

Harris says his focus is less on himself as emcee and more on the ceremony. He asked to share producer duties for the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards at the downtown Nokia Theatre.

“I didn’t want to walk into a situation where I was handed a script not to my liking. I wanted the ability to have a say in the structuring and creation of the show,” he said. “Maybe it’s the wannabe

Parade of Homes showcases area builders’ works

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The latest trends and styles in residential real estate will be presented at High Point’s 19th Annual Parade of Homes – just in time for the first-time homebuyer’s tax credit deadline.

A selection of new homes in the High Point, Archdale, Thomasville and surrounding areas will be showcased from 1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday as well as Sept.

26-27. Organized by the High Point Area Home Builder’s Association, the event is designed to give locals a look at what area builders are creating for today’s new homeowner.

“It’s an opportunity to see what local builders have to offer and to see any of the latest trends,” said Scott Beane, president of the association and president of Beane Construction.

Ten homes with high-demand features, including hardwood floors, crown moulding, ceramic tile and granite countertops, will be open for participants to tour. Admission is free and open to the public.

Beane said the association was expecting a large turnout because the local housing market has performed better here than in other parts of the country.

“We didn’t have a huge upswing, but we didn’t have a huge downturn,” he said about local real estate market. “We’re up

(in home sales) four consecutive months, and we’re seeing it come back.”

While the national housing market remains in a slump, there’s a popular government incentive that Beane said he is counting on to benefit the Parade of Homes as well.

The deadline for first-time homebuyers to apply for up to $8,000 in tax credits is on Nov. 30.

“I think we’ll see a lot of people coming out because they want to get a purchase in by that deadline,” he said. “We aren’t where we were in 2007 (in sales), but we are seeing the market come back.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

f any of your friends or family have recently applied for a home loan, you’ve probably heard that lenders are nervous, with tough new rules and demands for stacks of paperwork.

Good mortgages are still out there, but you should be prepared before applying.

Next, determine how much you have available for down payment, and how that will affect your loan’s terms. A “conforming loan” (that would be purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac) will require a minimum 10 percent down payment.

However, if you don’t have that much to put down, you can investigate a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or Veterans Administra-

tion (VA) loan. These government-backed loans are targeted toward those with lower credit scores and only require a 3.5 percent down payment.

You can even use this year’s First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit to help pay closing costs, buy down the interest rate, or add to your minimum down payment. Just have employment, banking and tax records organized, and be patient while over-

Tips on preparing for quick unplanned sale A

plumber and his homemaker wife hadn’t planned to sell the campus-area house they bought for their daughter’s use during her college years. But after learning that the place had gone up in value, they made the sudden decision to sell.

But before they put the Victorianstyle house on the market, their real estate agent told them to get the house ready by mid-August or miss the window for their best prospects: the parents of other students entering the university.

“Fortunately, they got down to brass tacks and had that house ready to sell in less than 30 days. Then someone bought it immediately,” recalls Mark Fullwiler, a Coldwell Banker broker affiliated with the Council of Residential Specialists (www.crs.com) and the couple’s listing agent.

Most sellers don’t have as narrow a time window as the owners of the Victorian. But many would like to sell as quickly as possible, often because they’re under financial duress due to job loss. Indeed, Fullwiler estimates that a quarter of all sellers are now under pressure to move quickly.

“More people are selling nervously now. These are the kind of people who’ve received a pink slip from their employer after 18 years on the job,” he says.

Besides financial reversals, another factor prompting many homeowners to sell this year is the federal tax credit of up to $8,000 that’s available to first-time buyers who close on a purchase by Dec. 1.

Though it’s a challenge to prepare a long-time residence for sale quickly, he’s witnessed many clients who’ve met the test in as little as two to four weeks.

Here are tips for sellers: • Find an agent who gives you the unvarnished truth about your house.

Donna Goings, another broker affiliated with the Council of Residential Specialists, says sellers in a hurry should be sure to hire an agent “who’s brutally honest about what their house needs.”

The best agents wouldn’t shy away from telling you, for example, that your taste in art could offend many visitors or that your 80s-era dining room chandelier is out of place in your 30s-style house.

As Goings says, a candid agent will save you time by pinpointing the most important changes you should make to the property and sparing you upgrades that aren’t truly necessary, such as redoing a backyard patio.

• Concentrate your initial efforts on enhanced street appeal.

Nowadays, most home purchasers are “drive-by buyers,” meaning they want to preview homes before agreeing to go inside.

“Your curb appeal has to pop. If the buyers like your place from the road -and find the inside commensurate with their expectations – you’re a long way toward a sale,” Fullwiler says.

Because fix-up money is usually limited for those selling a home under pressure, he urges you to focus your resources on the front view.

“Bring in a landscaping company if you must.

REAL ESTATE Also, clean and paint your front door, or install Ellen a new one if that would Martin help. The front door must ■■■ be perfect,” Fullwiler says.

• Focus next on your kitchen and bathrooms.

Once you’ve enhanced your curb appeal, it’s time to improve the looks of your kitchen, which “is a major selling feature for buyers – even those who do little cooking,” Fullwiler says.

After completing the kitchen upgrades, focusing your attention on bathroom upgrades can be very cost effective.

“The bathrooms are tremendously important and may not be expensive to improve,” Fullwiler adds. “For example, you can get a get a fresh new shower curtain in white for just $4 to $5.”

• Go on a painting binge.

Most for-sale homes benefit greatly from an interior paint job. And unlike jobs that involve plumbing, electrical work or major carpentry, interior painting is something many homeowners – and their friends – can often tackle on their own.

Need a brush-up on your painting skills? If so, Goings suggests you go for advice to the Web sites of such home center stores as Lowes (www.lowes. com) or Home Depot (www.homedepot. com). Or go to any paint store.

• Seek out low cost help with home staging.

Staging a home for sale involves the removal of excess furniture (which can make rooms seem cramped) and the rearrangement of remaining pieces.

The idea is to give the property a model home look.

Professional home stagers often charge several hundred dollars for a full package of services. But an increasing number of real estate agents are taking staging seminars and now offer free staging help to their clients, which Fullwiler says can save you both money and coordination time.

• Clean like crazy.

The final step in your crash home preparation process should make your place sparkling clean and free of clutter.

“No part of your house should be left untouched,” Goings says.

Given that so few sellers pay serious attention to cleaning, those who do gain a competitive edge, which is especially important to people who must sell quickly, she adds.

“The two big, big words in real estate are clean and clear,” Goings says.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina officials on Tuesday expanded a foreclosure prevention program to all homeowners, seeking to prevent recession-stretched borrowers from losing their homes.

The state banking commission said it is expanding free financial counseling to all mortgage-holders in hopes it will hold down the rising number of foreclosures as more borrowers lose their jobs and are unable to repay lenders.

The expansion is also seen as undercutting scammers who promise to obtain loan modifications for struggling homeowners in exchange for an upfront fee.

It is illegal under state law to charge an upfront fee for foreclosure assistance.

“It’s in all of our interest to avoid unnecessary foreclosures, and to fight back against foreclosures scams that prey on struggling homeowners,” Attorney General Roy Cooper said.

North Carolina’s foreclosure rate is up 7 percent this year and almost six out of 10 cases are hitting middle-class families that previously had good credit, the banking commission said.

The Center for Responsible Lending said more than 2 million North Carolina homeowners will see their property values decline over the next three years because of foreclosures in their neighbor-

hood. Foreclosures also hurt bankers, who lose about 40 percent of the loan value.

The banking commission last November kicked off its Home Foreclosure Prevention Project to help subprime homeowners by knitting together financial

North Carolina’s foreclosure rate is up 7 percent this year. counselors, lawyers and nonprofit organizations.

The program has helped prevent almost 2,000 foreclosures and advised more than 5,700 homeowners, the banking commission said. All told, that has saved lenders and neighboring property owners about $160 million in potential losses.

Public service advertisements describing the free foreclosure-prevention counseling were to begin airing Tuesday through the end of the year.

The ads are funded by the State Employees Credit Union, the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, and the state Realtors association.
