Council considers proposed market district

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The City Council tonight is scheduled to consider taking a step toward the creation of a zoning district that would guide the development of new furniture showrooms.

Council will be asked to initiate a zoning map amendment for the proposed market overlay district.

City planners said the move is a required part of the process in getting the district established, which could take place this fall.

The proposal is based on a Core City Plan recommendation to limit the development of all new

showrooms to one area within the city, thereby fostering a more compact and concentrated area for the High Point Market.

According to the plan, which is dropping the “core city” designation and is now known as The City Project Inc., concentrating showrooms within a defined district not only will strengthen the market but could help revitalize surrounding areas, where inflated land values have discouraged investment.

Planners gathered input from showroom owners, various business and real estate interests, the market authority and the public in developing the proposed district.

The proposed boundary en-

resource center. The proposal calls for the city to buy a 24,000-squarefoot former medical office at 607 Idol St. to serve as the new home of the Guilford County Workforce Development Board’s JobLink career center in High Point. The local N.C. Employment Security Commission office also would relocate there under the proposal, which states that the city’s cost for the purchase and renovation of the site would not exceed $2 million.

If the deal is approved, the city would buy the site and lease it to the Workforce Development Board and the ESC.

Angela Boyce Davis was appointed by the North Carolina General Assembly to the N.C. Child Care Commission.

The commission has the authority to establish rules for the licensing and regulation of child care centers and homes in North Carolina.

Capt. Tony Perez of the High Point Salvation Army says a project to unite eight chapters of the organization has been in the works for eight years.

Salvation Army chapters in the Triad pool resources

BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The Salvation Army in High Point joined forces with seven of its counterparts in the Piedmont in an effort to better serve their respective communities and raise awareness of services they provide.

“The reason the eight Salvation Armies came together is to help better

serve the Piedmont area,” said Capt. Tony Perez of the High Point Salvation Army. “By doing that, we’re saying to individuals that we all have the same goals and the same mission. We want to help individuals where they are and with better services.”

In addition, a united marketing operation will disseminate one message to the community, rather than eight different mes-

sages. The eight groups also standardized emergency and social services.

“Should somebody come from Greensboro, for instance, we will assist them, but we’ll say, ‘Greensboro can help you, and they’ll give you the same services we do,’ ” Perez said. “In any place, they’re giving out the same services we are and taking in the same information.”

One example is the Thrift Store. In the next several weeks, a toll-free number will be set up, and people who call to have an item picked up may key in their ZIP code, and the call will go to the Salva-

tion Army Thrift Shop nearest the caller.

Information about new services will be disseminated more widely, and the same services will be available at each Salvation Army.

The project to unite the eight Salvation Armies has been in the works for eight years, Perez said.

Each Salvation Army will retain a separate budget and fundraising function.

“Now, we’ve come together to say we have the same message, the same services and the same help,” Perez said.

Easleys may have unknowingly hyped coastal lot prices

‘Save-A-Landmark’ Volunteers restore Old City Jail in Mount Airy

RALEIGH (AP) – Word that former Gov. Mike Easley and his wife received a 25 percent discount from a coastal developer named in a lawsuit suggests they may have unwittingly helped increase the prices that others paid.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday that more than 200 plaintiffs in one of the largest alleged mortgage fraud cases in state history have said for months that they were duped into paying inflated prices for coastal lots.

No one involved in the fraud cases has claimed that the Easleys were knowingly involved. But the $137,000 discount they received on their lot was not shown in the $550,000 sale price.

Because the sale price was overstated, it could have inflated the sale prices of adjacent properties.

Easley has not responded to phone calls seeking comment.

MOUNT AIRY (AP) – As the last of the dust began to settle and the crews headed their separate ways, the Old City Jail stood as a testament to the work done.

Volunteers from five Hampton Inns in North Carolina and Virginia gathered at the jail bright and early on a recent Thursday to begin work restoring the landmark

‘It’s very exciting. I felt like to be a part of something this big was a good thing.’

Dale Fowler Mount Airy Hampton Inn for the Hampton Hotels Save-A-Landmark program. They removed the old paint on the cells and the walls, did some general cleaning, applied fresh coats of paint and painted the inside hallway and trim at the entrance to the building.

“They get in here and it never ceases to amaze me how much work gets done,” said Sheryl Shelton, manager of Hampton Brand communications.

The Mount Airy News reported that work on the jail comes months after America was asked to vote for the top nine landmarks for the company to refurbish this year.

Thanks to the votes of many people in the community, including Diane Phillips, the Old City Jail became the 48th landmark worked on by the organization since

National Weather Service to honor Concord volunteer MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE AP

CONCORD – Nearly 60 years ago, Tom Karr enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, thinking he’d do something in the sky.

But the Air Force had other plans for him. Karr, now 83, had a knack for math, so the Air Force trained him as a weather observer and forecaster.

Now, he’s being honored by the National Weather Service for reporting temperature and rainfall in Concord for 40 years, a task he’s done for free most of those years.

Each morning around 8 a.m., Karr heads outside – his wiener dog, Oscar Meyer, at his heels – to check the weather gauges, and then calls the National Weather Service to report the temperature and rainfall.

Volunteers Tambra Redding (bottom) and Chris Epting clean the Old City Jail in Mount Airy in preparation for a recent Thursday when more than a dozen volunteers from Hampton Hotels’ Save-A-Landmark program pitched in. This is the seventh landmark for the 2009 “All-American Landmarks” campaign. its inception in 2000.

“I voted for it,” said Phillips, who works at the Hampton Inn and Suites at Shelton Vineyards and volunteered for the day. “I’m from Ohio and whenever my family visits I always bring them here. I’m really honored to be a part of this project.”

With 22 volunteers coming from different areas, they learned to work together to complete the project.

“It’s very exciting. I felt

like to be a part of something this big was a good thing,” said Dale Fowler, who works for the Mount Airy Hampton Inn. “It’s always great when you can give something back to the community,” said Curtis Largin, who works with Hampton Inn and Suites at Shelton Vineyards.

Having the brand visit North Carolina to restore a landmark was important to the employees of area Hampton Inns. It allowed them to be a part

of something important in and around their own communities.

“It’s close by and it’s a good cause. This is part of our heritage around here. Being able to help restore it is a privilege. I appreciate this opportunity,” said Debra Clark, who works with the Jonesville-Elkin Hampton Inn. Local volunteers were joined at the site by members of the Hampton Inn brand as well as a few community members.

Persistent rains cause flooding in western N.C. ASHEVILLE (AP) – Persistent rainfall with a forecast for more has led to flooding problems in western North Carolina.

The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that heavy rain fell Saturday night with a 90 percent chance of downpours on Sunday for parts of the mountains.

Some roads are flooded, while others are shut down because of downed trees.

The National Weather Service had issued flood warnings for Macon, Jackson, Transylvania and Henderson counties, but they were set to expire on Sunday afternoon. Flood warnings for Polk

and Rutherford counties expired.

At least a half-dozen trees were brought down in Buncombe County. About 100 people in one part of the county lost electricity.

Authorities in Henderson County reported one car stranded in rising waters. One road was closed in Transylvania County.

Chances are if the National Weather Service reported 75 degrees in Concord on Sunday, Karr reported it to them.

Karr said the National Weather Service asked him to be one of their weather observers in 1969.

At first, they paid him, but ran out of funding in 1974.

Since then, he’s done it just because he loves it, he said. The weather service has about 250 weather observers in North Carolina, Karr said.

Although he said he doesn’t have a favorite season, Karr is partial to the spring and fall because of the milder temperatures, he said.

“I don’t like it when it’s too hot or too cold,” he said. “The fall is the prettiest. But the hot summer or the cold winter – I don’t want any part of it.”

“When you have all these politically connected players and they are setting up pricing that is not reflected in the records at the courthouse, how are my clients ever going to get a fair market price?” said S. Jill Pisner, a McLean, Va., lawyer whose firm filed the first and largest of several lawsuits alleging mortgage fraud in two coastal developments in North Carolina and one in South Carolina.

The Carteret County tax supervisor said in a recent interview that when the price actually paid for land is overstated in public documents, appraisals for other lots can become distorted as a result.

The Easleys bought a choice waterfront lot in Cannonsgate, a gated Carteret County subdivision, in 2005. The following year, when Easley was still in office, he said through a spokeswoman that he had paid the listed price.

GASTONIA (AP) – A North Carolina woman was killed in a one-car accident and the man who was driving the vehicle was charged with driving while impaired.

The Gaston Gazette reported that Gastonia police said 26-year-old Johnetta McLean was taken to Gaston Memorial Hospital, where she died Sunday morning from injuries received in the accident.

McLean was riding in a 1995 Cadillac driven by 37-year-old Marcus Wakefield. Police say Wakefield lost control of the car, which ran off the left shoulder and overturned into a creek.

Police say Wakefield was able to get out of the car, but McLean was trapped and had to be removed by emergency personnel.

This is what I would do if I were in Washington How many times have we as hardworking, taxpaying American citizens said “If I were in Washington this is what I would do”?

Well, here is part of my list of what I would do: • Bring our soldiers home from Iraq and Afghanistan. The Russians were in Afghanistan for 20 years and couldn’t solve their problems.

• Position our soldiers along our borders in towers about every half mile with orders to stop anyone trying to cross the borders. No need for fences. Just a sign that says “Alto.”

• No more foreign aid. They only love us for our money anyway.

• If I have to work to earn my salary, then you should have to work to receive government benefits, except for Social Security.

• No more career politicians, term limits!

• If you’re here in our country illegally or are currently sitting in prison for illegally entering our country, pack your bags. You’re leaving. It’ll be a free bus ride back home.

Anyone keeping track of how many billions I’ve saved so far?

• No more press one for English.

If you’re in this country legally, learn English.

• Health care. ... I got it because I work and pay for it. Try that for a public option.

I know none of this will ever happen, but at least I feel better.

Y’all have a good day.

MONTY AYCOTH Thomasville

We can’t make past mistakes in reforming health care Kristine Kaiser and Consumer Reports (according to Kristine Kaiser in a recent column) feel the government does an ineffective job of regulating the drug companies, so we should give government another task – to manage the “public option.” Huh? She goes on to say government administration is better for the “people” due to the lack of a need to make a profit. Marx thought that as well. This is a theory that has been proven wrong.

Reform is needed. Health savings accounts and letting companies sell policies in other states and other ideas to let market forces work are what is needed. If the person using the health care

blaming the Bush presidency for all his problems?

President Bush never hired a known communist to help run this great country!

This evil group running our Government at this time scares the H_____ out of me for my children and their children.

The health care question is in flux. Regarding the congressman that called Obama a liar, if this were not true, why then did they change the proposed bill to include language saying no health benefits for illegal immigrants?

My great heart doctor told me recently that if this health bill had been in force, I would never have gotten the defibrillator that is in me now.

If Pelosi tries to castigate Joe Wilson on the House floor, shouldn’t she also have Charlie Rangel, who does not know what he owns? Or herself for trashing our CIA? Or many more Democrats that have dodged their tax obligations?

May God bless this great loving, giving country!

is the person paying (directly) for the health care, then they will be motivated to ask how much things cost and if they are necessary.

They will shop for the best prices and get discounts for things such as having proper weight.

If not, we are headed to the same situation as Social Security. It was a nice idea, but due to a lack of political will, it is about to go bust.

16., “They don’t have my best interests at heart”) hit a home run.

His comments were heart felt, honest, dead on the money, true inspiration and it was one of the best letters I’ve read in The High Point Enterprise to date.

We, The People, of the United States of America, have totally screwed up. We have elected a bunch of folks who are living in La La Land. We have elected an administration that only

knows how to spend “our” money unwisely and blow smoke somewhere, use your imagination.

We have elected individuals who only think of themselves and their prosperity; they are immoral thieves. We have elected people who only want to control every aspect of your life, your health care, your right to bear arms, your wallets. I thought the government was created to protect us, not provide for us.

The “Demo-rats,” the Hollywood elite and the liberal media have done a bang up job in deceiving We The People. Distorting the facts, not discussing or covering opposing points of view and labelling the “conservative” American as a racist, a bigot, and for some unknown reason the bad guy.

It’s time to wake up America and make your feelings known.

YOUR VIEW POLL

---

Should the U.S. government – Congress and/or the Justice Department – investigate allegations of voter fraud and other illegal activity by the community organization ACORN? In 30 words or less (no name, address required) e-mail your thoughts to letterbox@hpe.com. Here are three responses: • ACORN? Have you reported about them? We have to go and watch Fox to know what kind of illegal and criminal things they are up to. Yes, investigate, and fast.

• Yes! When reporters told how many times ACORN registered the same person, I thought there must be something illegal, devious and false about them. Absolutely no more money to them.

• ACORN should be investigated, however, Congress has repeatedly refused because their criminal activities benefit the Democrats and gave Obama the community organizing experience that “qualified” him for the U.S. presidency.

OUR MISSION

Because of the antics, music has lost its meaning

I

blame Elvis.

With Chuck Berry, Little Richard and other icons from rock’s first generation, he pioneered an incendiary idea: that music could be more than a medium of entertainment, that it could and should also be a tool of cultural revolution. It was not, after all, just music that moved town fathers to ban rock concerts and angry men with sledgehammers to smash jukeboxes containing rock records.

No, it was what that music “meant,” the notion of white kids mixing with black ones, of status quo under siege, of girls having sex before they were 30. More, it was the realization that the staid old lives the town fathers lived and the staid old things those angry men believed were about to be washed away upon a tide of change.

That big bang still echoes; nearly 60 years later, we are still wed to the idea that the music that has “meaning” is the music that causes unease. But it takes more to do that now than it did in Elvis’ day.

So pity Kanye West, the mercurial rapper who is in America’s dog house for his antics at last

week’s MTV Music Video Awards. If you haven’t heard about it, you need to get out more.

Suffice it to say he rushed the stage as doe-eyed teenOPINION age country music star Taylor Swift Leonard was giving an acPitts ceptance speech, ■■■ grabbed her mike and declared that she didn’t deserve the award, Beyonce did.

It was par for the course for West, whose previous stunts and intemperate outbursts have earned him a reputation as unhinged and self-centered. Some have suggested this incident, along with Serena Williams’ tennis court meltdown and Rep. Joe Wilson’s boorish behavior in a joint session of Congress signals a loss of American civility.

Maybe it does. But I feel it also suggests a popular culture that has run out of things to rebel against. Think about it: everything those city fathers and angry men of six decades ago feared has come to pass and then some. The black kids are making “babies”

with the white ones, status quo died of natural causes and penis jokes are at home on prime-time TV. What was once the outrageous is now the everyday.

As popular music’s ability to shock has declined, its attempts to do so have only become more naked and needy. From Britney kissing Madonna on MTV to Janet Jackson’s bared breast at the Super Bowl to West’s serial episodes of juvenility, pop musicians now give us stunts that seem more desperate than truly dangerous.

It is perhaps enough to note that whereas John Lennon took a stand against war that nearly cost him the ability to stay in this country, the best many of his modern counterparts can find to stand against is the idea their pants should fit their waists.

Popular culture is increasingly home to artificial outlaws and fake rebels, revolution on the cheap that looks like the real thing unless you look too close.

Then you recognize the rictus grin of the birthday party magician, sweat pebbling his brow as he prays no one sees the rabbit in his cummerbund.

A few days after the MTV show,

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

I got an e-mail from my friend, Grayson Hugh, who is the greatest singer/songwriter you’ve never heard. He was fuming over West’s behavior: “I was just reflecting how dearly I would treasure one minuscule fraction of the financial support he is being given by the record industry!

It pains me (and angers me, too) to see ‘celebrity’ musicians being so ungrateful and ungracious.”

But what else can we expect in an era that accepts ungraciousness and ungratefulness as synonyms for courage and rebellion? This is not, let me add, an argument about sound or style, but substance. Revolution is not a stunt.

And I submit that we actually have no shortage of conditions that still require rebellion. What we lack is the will to act. That’s sad. Once upon a time, music was brave.

Now we have only echoes of the bang.

Insane killer captured unharmed

Obama: Troops decision can wait WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama says he hasn’t asked his top commander in Afghanistan to sit on an expected request for U.S. reinforcements in a backsliding war, but he gave no deadline for making a decision about whether to send more Americans into harm’s way.

Obama said in a series of interviews broadcast Sunday he will not allow politics to govern his decision.

He left little doubt he is reevaluating whether the renewed focus on hunting alQaida has become blurred and whether more forces will do any good. “The first question is, ‘Are we doing the right thing?’ � he said. “Are we pursuing the right strategy?�

Zazi’s defense team denied reports he considered a plea deal related to terror charges, and Zazi’s attorney, Arthur Folsom, has dismissed as rumor remarks by a senior U.S. intelligence official that Zazi played a crucial role in an intended terrorist attack. “All of that is hype and it comes down to charging him with lying to the government.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – The High Point Housing Authority will honor two people with an award this week.

Glenn Chavis and Bernita Sims have been selected as recipients of the authority’s annual Pillars of Fame honor, and they will be recognized at a ceremony planned for Wednesday.

Dad can listen to blues or beach music. Mom can shop for arts and crafts.”

At the festival, there will be 25 arts and crafts vendors in a special “Artisan’s block”

“Though he was very young, he had a lot of creativity for business,” his son Jose Antonio said.

“He founded the first automobile air-conditioning business in Cuba and soon had a broad clientele.”

“Pepe” Ortega left Cuba with his wife and children in 1960. After a brief stay in Colombia, he moved to Puerto Rico in 1963, where he started a successful career in the food business that eventually became Sazon Goya, in partnership with the Unanue family, owners of Goya Foods.

In 1976, “Pepe” Ortega moved with his family to Miami, where he continued leading his company into new goals of sales and growth until his death.

ELLINGTON’S FLORIST Express Your Sympathy with Flowers

ROME (AP) – Italian sociologist Maurizio Montalbini, who spent months dwelling in caves to study how the mind and body cope with complete isolation, has died at 56.

Montalbini died of a heart attack Saturday while in a mountain hamlet near the central Italian town of Macerata, said Guido Galvagno, a longtime colleague.

Galvagno said the death did not appear connected to Montalbini’s record-breaking cave stays.

Montalbini spent a total of two years and eight months underground since he started his experiments in the 1980s, according to a biography on his Web site.

In 1987 he claimed his first world record after spending 210 days alone in a cave in the Apennine mountains. A year later he led an international team of 14 spelunkers, including three women, to take the world group record with an underground stay of 48 days.

High Point police search for suspect ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – High Point police on Sunday continued to search for a man facing several charges after a domestic dispute Saturday.

James Earnest Henderson Jr., 32, is accused of breaking into the 129 Marywood Drive home of his estranged girlfriend on Saturday morning and threatening to harm her and take his life, according to police.

The woman and her four kids were allowed to leave the residence after Henderson allegedly broke in and fired a shot inside the house. Police said the woman was unsure where Henderson was aiming when the shot was fired.

Additional police officers arrived and set up a perimeter around the residence.

The house was secured and Tactical Team officers searched the house and surrounding areas but did not find Henderson.

Police said they had obtained arrest warrants on Henderson for felonious breaking and entering, communicating threats, discharging a firearm in the city, possession of a firearm by a felon and violating a domestic violence protective order.

Anyone with information is asked to call High Point Crimestoppers at 889-4000.

Hugo anniversary In this file photo taken Sept. 22, 1989, parts of buildings clutter the streets of Charleston, S.C. after Hurricane Hugo swept through the historic city early in the morning. Today marks the 20th anniversary of Hugo, a Category 4 storm that hit the city with its 135 mph winds. It is still the storm by which all others are measured on the South Carolina coast.

N.C. employee health insurance plan wants cost cuts RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s state employee health plan got out of a deep hole last spring thanks to a $250 million cash injection from the state’s rainyday reserves, followed by higher dependent premiums and more out-of-pocket expenses for everyone.

So even though the State Health Plan is on better footing since the Legislature’s bailout

bill passed in April, the plan’s challenges aren’t over.

Plan officials told lawmakers last week they already paid out 8 percent more for claims than they had budgeted in July and August – although it could be a one-time blip caused as more of the 650,000 employees, retirees and their dependents covered went to the doctor before higher payment

schedules took effect July 1.

An outside actuary now predicts the plan will lose $54 million this year, instead of making a small profit as predicted a few months ago.

With the rainy-day fund about out of money and tax revenues still dwindling, North Carolina is joining insurance plans for state employees nationwide looking for ways to cut expens-

es. North Carolina is readying a plan for members to quit smoking and lose weight, and trying to narrow administrative costs. “Many state employee health plans are very concerned. Their available revenue is at least partly tied to state revenues,� said Richard Cauchi, health program director for the National Conference of State Legislatures in Denver.

Man, friends, family discuss where to drop dog’s deposit

D

ear Abby: My wife and I were walking our terriers one evening when one had to answer nature’s call.

Being responsible dog owners, I picked up the “deposit� with a bag we carry for such occasions.

It was garbage pickup day and the neighbors’ trash cans were out at the curb, so at the next house I placed the bag in the trash can. My wife, family and co-workers all think this was not appropriate – that I should have carried it home and disposed of it in our trash can.

Abby, we were 15 minutes from home, but given the choice, I would rather not carry that bag and figured a garbage bin is a garbage bin. I’ll abide by your answer and admit I was wrong if you say so. – Pooped Out in North Carolina Dear P.O.: As long as the bag was securely sealed, I don’t think adding it to someone’s trash bin was a social no-no.

But I do have one suggestion: Keep your water cooler conversation at a higher level and you’ll get less poop from your co-workers. Your wife is another story.

Dear Abby: My 22year-old son is involved with a 22- year-old girl who is married. He has

moved in with her, her husband and their 4-year-old son. He says he’s ADVICE happy with the arDear rangement.

Abby I have ■■■tried to accept this even though I don’t approve. I don’t want to alienate my son, but I see no good coming from this lifestyle. Abby, please help. – Disgusted Mm in Henderson, Nev. Dear Disgusted Mom: You do not have to “accept� the arrangement, and as your son’s mother you are entitled to tell him you don’t approve and why. But he is over 21, and some lessons have to be learned the hard way. So remain calm and bide your time because, sooner or later, the husband’s tolerance will wear thin or your son will realize that he deserves to rate higher than No. 2.

Dear Abby: I have a gripe I haven’t seen addressed in your column.

I receive labels, free gifts and even money from charities asking for donations. Why aren’t they using all that money for the charity?

I thought I’d done the right thing by sending annual contributions to one charity. Then I get frequent appeals from them that they have run into extra expenses and want more! Americans are generous people, but these groups are bleeding us dry. I’m on the verge of not contributing to any of them. – Turned Off in Topeka Dear Turned Off: Charities (and causes) hire specialized companies that analyze what kind of “appeals� generate the most money.

They have figured out that people who receive “gifts� feel “obligated� to reciprocate – hence the labels, notepads, etc.

As to being solicited more than once a year, this is done because many people can’t remember exactly when they last donated and, in my opinion, it’s a way of taking advantage. That said, with the economy in the shape it’s in, many charities are genuinely suffering.

The need is great – so please do not stop giving altogether.

DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Triangle to lose 430 UNC jobs MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHAPEL HILL – Public universities in the Triangle will eliminate about 430 positions this year as part of a massive UNC system budget cut.

N.C. State University is eliminating 205 administrative jobs, and UNC-Chapel Hill is cutting 202 positions, according to a report released Thursday that provided the most detail to date on how the university system will slash its operating budget 10 percent UNC system President Erskine Bowles had said he expected administrative positions to account for 75 to 80 percent of the cuts. That number has subsequently risen to 96 percent, officials now say – an acknowledgment that administrative job growth swelled out of control over the last several years.

I am glad we as a nation remember 9/11 each year and hope it will always be genuine and not just another event on the calendar. It is troublesome that the fight against terrorists has become so political, and after eight years there is still no memorial honoring those who died.

We are a great nation still healing from a brutal attack against our people. We are a great nation because of our people, and in the end we will grow stronger because of the challenges our nation endures. As we continue healing, remember that forgetting is not part of that process, but continuing to live our lives is.

hen I began writing my column for Sept. 14, I knew I needed to address the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks against our country.

As most of you who read my column know by now, I did not write that article. I was having a hard time trying to figure out where we go after eight years.

How do I as an individual feel, and how do we as a nation feel about our country being attacked on our own soil?

As a firefighter, I am proud of those who gave their lives helping others and saddened that so many died needlessly. I remember being inspired by heroes, including regular people as well as firefighters. I remember being infuriated by the brutality of those who killed innocent people with no remorse. Even after eight years I still feel anger when thinking about that day in 2001.

I was encouraged by the way our nation came together for a brief time by setting aside differences and becoming a country truly united.

Now there is sometimes frustration because it seems after eight short years, many would just as soon relegate this day to the history books. I am sure this is because people really don’t want to dwell on the horrific

Enzyme deficiency gives rise to emphysema

D

ear Dr. Donohue: I would like to call your attention to a question you answered about emphysema. I think you should have mentioned alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. It would have been a good opportunity to bring this condition to the public’s attention. I have it and was diagnosed at age 53, after having been misdiagnosed for eight years.

I have been on Prolastin, which has stabilized my lung capacity. While more doctors are aware of this condition, there are some who are not.

Lungs come equipped with their own janitorial crew. They inhale lots of foreign debris, and they create trash in their work of transferring oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out of it. The cleanup crew is trypsin, an enzyme.

Trypsin, however, can go overboard, so another enzyme, called alpha-1 antitrypsin stops it from overdoing the trash collection and destroying air sacs in the process.

Emphysema is destruction of those delicate structures. Cigarette smoking is the No. 1 cause of emphysema, also known as one of the chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, COPD. Symptoms of emphysema, regardless of cause, include shortness of breath with little physical exertion, cough and increased sputum production.

diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is par for the course.

On average, the diagnosis HEALTH takes eight years from Dr. Paul the time a Donohue person first ■■■ visits a doctor for emphysema symptoms.

This illness should come to mind when a relatively young person or a person who has never smoked develops emphysema. A simple blood test for the level of the antitrypsin enzyme can secure the diagnosis.

Treatment is the same as treatment for smoking-caused emphysema.

However, there is an additional treatment for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency emphysema.

Intravenous infusions of the missing enzymes can benefit those with the deficiency. Your Prolastin is one such product.

An AVM is an arteriovenous malformation, a ball of arteries and veins. Arteries and veins are connected by capillaries – small, delicate vessels. In an AVM, no capillary connections exist, and the arteries and veins tend to break and bleed. They

can be found in many places, like the brain and the lung, and usually they’re there from birth.

AVMs also can be found in the digestive tract. Most often, these AVMs form at older ages. The process is called angiodysplasia. They, too, bleed easily. Since most of these AVMs occur in the colon, they can be obliterated with a scope and an instrument that dries them up with an electric current or with an injection of a chemical solution. There are other ways of handling them, too.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 68-year-old female, and I take the following: a multivitamin, omega-3 fish oil, Citracal calcium with vitamin D, glucosamine/chondroitin and vitamin C. Am I taking too many supplements? I eat well, lots of veggies and fruits. My blood pressure and cholesterol are good. – Anon.

You take a lot of supplements, but you’re not in a danger zone. As far as vitamin overdoses, watch your vitamin A intake. The recommended daily allotment is 700 micrograms (2,300 IU) for women, and 900 (3,000) for men. The upper limit is 3,000 micrograms (10,000 IU). The vitamin C recommendation is 75 mg for women and 90 for men. Its upper limit is 2,000 mg. You’re not near those limits.

MARTY SOHL | ALONZO KING’S LINES BALLET

Forever dancing Starting at age 3, Ashley Jackson has become a performer with class

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

A

shley Jackson has danced her way to a dream.

“When I was younger, I always wanted to travel around the world and see different cultures, and now I’m able to do that,” the 22-year-old professional dancer from High Point says.

“The dance company I’m in allows me to travel to other countries, so right now, I’m basically living my dream. I know a lot of people are not able to do that – to live their dreams – so I try not to take that for granted.”

Jackson, who performs with Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet in San Francisco, hasn’t taken much for granted since she first took up dance as a precocious 3year-old. She’s always remained dedicated to her art, and now it’s paying dividends – and not just because it allows her to travel.

This week, for example, Jackson will be in Washington, D.C., to receive the 2009 Congressional

Black Caucus Spouses Heineken USA Performing Arts Scholarship, which recognizes students who have demonstrated exemplary command of a performing art.

The $3,000 award and a medal will be presented to Jackson Wednesday evening, during a ceremony at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Jackson will apply the scholarship to her studies at St. Mary’s College in Moraga, Calif., where she’s working toward earning a degree in performing arts.

Jackson has been turning heads in other ways, too. Now in her fourth year with the Lines Ballet, she was recently featured in the August issue of Dance Magazine – one of the bibles of the dance world – in its “On the Rise” department.

“With beautifully tapered legs and flowing arms, Jackson is the youngest of LINES’ formidable women,” the magazine wrote.

“Yet the spirited clarity of her classical training and the calm

assurance she brings to even the fastest-paced and most complex of (Alonzo) King’s combinations have made her stand out.”

Jackson says she found the magazine article to be flattering but also motivating.

“It’s a really nice feeling to be recognized for all the hard work,” she says, “but it also makes me want to work harder, to strive to be even better. It makes me want to work harder to get to the next level.”

Jackson began dancing when she was 3, starting out under the tutelage of Debbie Riley at Dancers Headquarters in High Point.

Then, around age 9 or 10, she joined instructor Susan Bodsford at Susan’s Dance Unlimited in Kernersville.

In sixth grade, she joined the preparatory dance program at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem; in eighth grade, she became a fulltime student there, graduating in 2005.

Upon graduating, Jackson

began performing professionally, initially dancing with North Carolina Dance Theatre.

Eventually, she auditioned for Alonzo King’s LINES Ballet, got the job, and feels she has found her niche for now – and fulfilled her dream of traveling the world.

With LINES, Jackson has been to Italy, France, Austria, Holland, Germany and Greece, just to name a few of the places she has performed.

“It’s definitely not all vacation by any means,” she says. “A lot of hard work goes into being in this company. It’s very demanding, but it’s also very embracing in the sense of developing my artistry.”

Jackson feels blessed to be doing something she loves for a living.

“Dance is a passion for me,” she says. “Every time I hear music, I’m just inspired to dance to it. I’m blessed by God to do what I’ve been able to do.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Church hosts benefit concert for bishop

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – A benefit concert honoring Bishop Douglas L. Quick, who recently suffered a massive heart attack, will be held Sunday afternoon at his church, Christ Cathedral Christian Fellowship Center.

Jo Jo Barrino and Fam-

ily, based in High Point, will perform, as will Chosen, a gospel group from Wilkesboro.

The event will be held at 4 p.m. Sunday at the church, Quick which is located at 2440 Brentwood St. “Bishop Quick is still standing tall in the Lord,” said Elder D.T.

Johnson of Christ Cathedral.

“He’s pulling through all that the devil has taken him through, and now we’re putting together this benefit program to help Bishop Quick due to the massive heart attack he suffered a few months ago. As you can imagine, his ongoing needs are enormous, so we’re asking everyone to help us help his family during this time.”

Quick, 60, is now out of the hos-

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

pital and continuing to recover at home, according to Johnson.

There is no admission charge for the benefit concert, but donations will be accepted. All proceeds will go to the Quick family to assist with his medical expenses, according to Johnson.

For more information, contact Johnson at (336) 997-4603. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

A popular stomach-acid reducer used to prevent stress ulcers in critically ill patients needing breathing machine support increases the risk of those patients contracting pneumonia threefold, according to researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

Hospital-acquired pneumonia is the leading cause of infection-related deaths in critically ill patients. It increases hospital stays by an average of seven to nine days, cost of care, and the risk of other complications.

“As best we can tell, patients who develop hospitalacquired pneumonia or ventilator-acquired pneumonia have about a 20- to 30percent chance of dying from that pneumonia,” said senior study author Dr. David L. Bowton, professor and head of the Section on Critical Care in the Department of Anesthesiology. “It’s a significant event.”

The study, published in a recent issue of CHEST, compared treatment with two drugs that decrease stomach acid: ranitidine, marketed under the name Zantac, and pantoprazole, marketed under the name Protonix or Prilosec.

Both drugs decrease stomach acid, but the newer pantoprazole is considered more powerful and has become the drug of choice in many hospitals.

However, in the analysis of 834 patient charts, the researchers found that hospitalized cardiothoracic surgery patients treated with pantoprazole were three times more likely to develop pneumonia.

Good players are willing to take chances, but successful risk-taking is based more on planning than on risk.

At today’s slam, South tried a heart to dummy’s jack at Trick Two. East produced the queen and led a spade. Forced to guess, South put up his ace, ran the diamonds and took the A-K of hearts. Dummy’s last heart was a winner, but South had only 11 tricks: a spade, five diamonds, three hearts, two clubs. When he finessed with the jack of clubs, West’s queen won.

ALL CHANCES South makes 6NT with better planning. He wins the opening lead in dummy and finesses in clubs.

West wins, but South retains all his chances. He can win the diamond return and cash the A-K of clubs.

If clubs broke 4-2, South would finesse in hearts next, hoping West had Qx-x. When clubs break 3-3, giving South 11 tricks, he can combine his chances for one more. He runs the diamonds and takes the A-K of hearts. When the queen doesn’t fall, South cashes the good club and leads a spade, intending to finesse.

This week: sequencing the play.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S K 10 4 3 H Q 8 5 D 4 3 2 C 9 7 5. Dealer, at your left, opens one diamond. Your partner doubles, you respond one spade and he raises to three spades. What do you say?

ANSWER: Your partner has a huge hand. Your response of one spade promised no values at all, yet partner was willing to commit to a ninetrick contract. Since you actually have a useful king and queen, bid four spades.

South dealer Neither side vulnerable

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

AT THE MOVIES

‘Chance of Meatballs’ tops box office – NEW YORK (AP) – The forecast was bright at the box office for “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” which earned $30.1 million to lead this weekend’s films.

Sony’s 3-D animated family comedy was adapted from the popular 1978 children’s book by Judi and Ron Barrett. Despite schools being back in session, the film still was able to draw kids and their par-

ents to the multiplexes.

Steven Soderbergh’s “The Informant!” came in second with $10.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. That was slightly better than expected for the Warner Bros. comedy, which stars Matt Damon as a bipolar whistle blower.

Last week’s box-office topper, Tyler Perry’s “I Can Do Bad All By Myself,” saw a 57 percent drop for Lionsgate.

It still earned $10 million.

1. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” $30.1 million.

2. “The Informant!” $10.5 million.

3. “I Can Do Bad All By Myself,” $10 million.

4. “Love Happens,” $8.5 million.

5. “Jennifer’s Body,” $6.8 million.

6. “9,” $5.5 million.

7.“Inglourious Basterds,” $3.6 million.

8. “All About Steve,” $3.4 million.

Panthers fall short against Falcons

ATLANTA (AP) – Matt Ryan has a new favorite receiver. No surprise who it is.

Ryan threw three touchdown passes, hooking up with Tony Gonzalez in the end zone for the second week in a row, and the Atlanta Falcons held off the Carolina Panthers 28-20 on Sunday.

Through his first two games with the Falcons, Gonzalez has 12 catches for 144 yards and two touchdowns. Just what Atlanta had in mind when it dealt for a tight end who figures to end up in Canton – and starting 2-0 is just what Gonzalez had in mind when he asked to be traded by lowly Kansas City.

The Falcons already have matched the Chiefs’ win total for all of last season.

“Not a bad start at all,” Gonzalez said. “It’s just great to be part of a team like this.”

Ryan had a big first half, which included a brilliant fingertip grab

by Gonzalez on a 24-yard score.

Jason Snelling and Roddy White also hauled in TD passes, giving Atlanta a 21-13 lead at the break.

Ryan completed 13 straight passes at one point and finished 21 of 27 for 220 yards, though he did have his first interception of the season. Gonzalez led the Falcons again with seven receptions for 71 yards.

“He’s one of the greatest tight ends of all time,” Ryan said. “That was a huge pickup for us. He makes big plays for us in different situations when we need him. I’ve

Carolina wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett (80) dives for a Hail Mary pass on the final play of the game against the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on Sunday. The Falcons won 28-20.

Inside...

Jets talk the talk, walk the walk against Patriots. 3D enjoyed playing with him thus far.”

Jake Delhomme played much better for the Panthers, looking nothing like the quarterback who had 11 turnovers in his last two games. But his 25-of-41, 308-yard passing performance was marred by that familiar problem – an interception with 2 1/2 minutes remaining near the Atlanta end zone – and the defending NFC South champions are off to an 0-2 start.

“It couldn’t be any worse than last week,” said Delhomme, referring to his four-interception,

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

one-fumble fiasco in a 38-10 loss to Philadelphia. “I felt good out there today. Last week, I put too much pressure on myself. This week, I got back to being just plain Jake.”

The Falcons looked to be in good shape after Michael Turner powered over from the 1 with 12:27 remaining, stretching the lead to 28-13 lead.

Back came Delhomme and the Panthers. A 10-play, 80-yard drive made it 28-20, and Carolina was in position to force overtime with a touchdown and a two-point conversion after driving to a first down at the Falcons 17. But three straight incompletions left the Panthers in desperation mode.

On fourth-and-10, Delhomme tried to force in a pass to Steve Smith near the end zone. Chris

Houston stepped in front to pick it off at the 4 before being slammed out bounds by Smith, who had a huge game with eight catches for 131 yards despite being hurt on the final play of the first half.

The Panthers had one last chance after forcing an Atlanta punt. Delhomme completed four straight passes to get the ball to the Atlanta 43 with eight seconds left.

For the final pass, the Falcons stationed 6-foot-5 receiver Brian Finneran as an extra defensive back. Finneran and Brent Grimes went up together to bat the ball down, and Grimes got a hand on it – but nearly knocked it to a Carolina receiver. Dwayne Jarrett dove for the ball and rolled over cradling it, but it clearly hit the turf before he got his hands extended.

SPECIAL

Cory McClenathan posted his first NHRA Top Fuel victory in 18 months with Sunday’s triumph at ZMAX Dragway in Concord. who won 15 races last season, fell in the semifinals as rookie Shawn Langdon made it to the finals for the first time.

McClenathan, who has been racing in Top Fuel since 1991, thought he was fortunate to win against little-known Doug Foley in the semifinals and Langdon in

the final. He edged ahead near the finish in both, pulling away for his 31st final-round victory when Langdon’s engine failed in a ball of flame. McClenathan’s winning run lasted 3.857 seconds.

“Foley had me but he got off line and got into the marbles,” McClenathan said. “I could still hear Shawn beside me at the 800-foot mark (of the 1,000-foot run). I was just glad to win.

“When you don’t win in as long as I have, you start to think it is you. I was overcome because it has been so long.”

Robert Hight prevailed in Funny Car, two weeks after the controversy surrounding charges that his car owner John Force threw a race at the U.S. Nationals to get Hight into the championship playoff at the expense of Cruz Pedregon.

Hight beat his teammate Ashley Force Hood by inches in the semifinals, then prevailed in the finals against Matt Hagan with a run of

4.097 seconds. John Force, fastest qualifier Pedregon and points leader Tony Pedregon lost in the opening round.

“It’s like John says, I’ve got to let the car do the talking,” Hight said of the controversy.

The finals in Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle went as expected.

Fastest qualifier Mike Edwards breezed through the Pro Stock ladder, zipping to a 6.618-second final to handily beat Greg Stanfield. The victory, combined with Jeg Coughlin’s-first round loss, pushed Edwards into the points lead.

Top qualifier Hector Arana swept through in Pro Stock Motorcycle, turning a 7.004 in the final to outdistance Karen Stoffer.

Stoffer got the final by beating Stoneville’s Shawn Gann. Matt Smith and Angie McBride of King lost in the final round. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

WHO’S NEWS

No drag: McClenathan resumes winning ways CONCORD – In the late stages of his career, veteran Cory McClenathan leaves most of the winning to his teammate, defending NHRA champ Tony Schumacher.

“Right now, I just go into a weekend that I want to win some rounds,” McClenathan said. “At one time, I thought I could win every weekend and that was my goal. That is what my teammate does now.”

For the first time in 18 months, McClenathan proved that he can still win all four rounds as he capped a surprising day in the Top Fuel portion of the Carolinas Nationals at ZMAX Dragway.

How surprising? Antron Brown, the points leader entering the NHRA’s six-race playoff, broke in the first round. Fastest qualifier Larry Dixon lost to McClenathan in the second round. Schumacher, the defending Top Fuel champ

TOP SCORES

f the setup at a NASCAR permitted, what would be the odds that Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch or any other top Cup driver would stick around to sign autographs after getting ticked off because they fell out of a race in the opening laps?

That would be slim and none, and slim just left town.

Usually if a top driver drops out early, he hits the road or rather takes to the air in most cases. If the track is close enough to home and a driver drops out early enough, he can be on the couch before the race is over.

Not in the NHRA. At least not in the case of

Top Fuel points leader Antron Brown, who went out in the first round of the Carolina Nationals. He could have gone back to his trailer, sulked and left.

But shortly after losing, Brown was out signing autographs for anyone who stopped.

So did Funny Car legend John Force, but given Force’s sense of showmanship that was to be expected.

The NHRA has the right idea, making every ticket a pit pass and allowing fans to step right out of the grandstand into the pit area and go down and get autographs while watching crews work on cars.

That’s doable with crowds on the order of

the 15-20,000 or so that showed up Sunday at Zmax Dragway in a noticeable drop in attendance from last year’s inaugural event.

Crowds of 100,000 make it impossible to do in the garage area at Cup race. Instead of 100 or so clamoring for an autograph at a time as was the case Sunday, there would be mobs of thousands, creating chaos that would not allow crews to do their jobs.

NHRA is about where the Cup Series was 25-20 years ago as far as drivers being able to interact with fans openly. And that’s not a bad thing.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Tony Stewart’s regular season dominance seems a distant memory.

The NASCAR star began his bid for a third series title with a 14th-place finish at New Hampshire. A bolt came loose on the rear axle cap, forcing him to take a lengthy stop that sent him tumbling to the back of the field.

He restarted 28th but didn’t have enough time to work his way back to the front.

Stewart angrily ripped off his HANS device and stormed away after the race, ignoring reporters while making a beeline for a golf cart.

Stewart led 51 laps – the most since he won at Watkins Glen last month – but couldn’t muster the magic that highlighted his spring and summer.

Now he heads to Dover next week in sixth place, 74 points behind Mark Martin after his fifth straight finish outside the top 10.

High Five sees little change

Force finds fun despite early loss

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CONCORD – To say that John Force is usually a free-speaking, ampedup ball of energy is an understatement.

He was more so after participating Sunday at ZMax Dragway in what was thought to be the first four-wide racing sanctioning by the NHRA for its professional classes.

Force was among four early Funny Car losers to run in the first part of the exhibition while four early Top Fuel losers ran in the second part.

How thrilling was it for Force?

“I haven’t had that much fun since I was on the high school football team and we stormed the cheerleader’s showers,” Force said. “I was so excited that I came back and watched the Fuelers run. They had stuff flying and everything. They were suicidal.”

Force finished second to his teammate Mike Neff, while Del Worsham third and Tim Wilkerson fourth. Spencer Massey used quicker reaction time to edge Antron Brown in the Top Fuel exhibition.

Brandon Bernstein was a close third with Morgan Lucas fourth.

After it was over, questions remained whether four-wide racing will be ever be more than an exhibition, perhaps as the format for all-star race, because the strip here is the only one that NHRA visits that is equipped for four-wide racing.

“I loved it,” Force said. “But, I don’t know how practical I would be. This is the only track we have like this although there are a few other tracks where we could build (the extra lanes). It wouldn’t be fair to throw it into the middle of our (points race).

“Could it be a special invitational like an event we had at Rockingham? I don’t know.

I’m not smart enough to figure that out.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Seuss authors Caraway victory SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

ASHEBORO – Andy Seuss took the win in the Caraway 150 at Caraway Speedway on Saturday night by .884 seconds over George Brunnhoelzl III. It marked the fourth victory of the season for the 22-year-old driver from Hampstead, N.H. Seuss passed Burt Myers on Lap 10 and remained out front the rest of the night.

Seuss enjoyed a 10-car length lead over Brian Loftin when the only caution flag of the race was thrown on Lap 123 when Tommy Neal spun down the back stretch.

Seuss was able to hold on to the lead on the restart and keep Brunnhoelzl in his rearview mirror.

Brian Loftin finished third, followed by Burt Myers and Jason Myers.

Rounding out the top 10 were Frank Fleming, John Smith, Jonathan Brown, Buddy Emory and J.R. Bertuccio.

Myers started the race from the front row after the redraw.

Mark Martin (5) celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the Sylvania 300 NASCAR race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H., on Sunday.

Martin captures Chase opener at Loudon LOUDON, N.H. (AP) – When a young driver isn’t sure how to approach an on-track situation, they often ask themselves “What would Mark Martin do?”

With a championship on the line, Martin fooled the competition and won.

The 50-year-old driver held off Juan Pablo Montoya on a three-lap sprint to the finish Sunday to win the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship opener at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Afterward, Montoya accused Martin of holding him up at the start of the second lap.

“What he did, not cool at all,” Montoya radioed his crew. “I could have wrecked him.”

But Martin insisted the move, which clearly surprised Montoya, was within bounds. “I fought for that race,” Martin said. “But I wouldn’t do anything. I still won’t.”

Whether Martin did anything wrong at all will be debated by many, but it won’t change the record books: Martin won his Sprint Cup Series-best fifth race of the season and extended his lead in the standings to 35 points over runnerup Denny Hamlin and three-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson.

“Pinch me. I am sure I’m sleeping. I am sure I am dreaming,” Martin said.

Martin crew chief Alan Gustafson used

mid-race pit strategy to get the No. 5 into contention. He didn’t bring Martin in for a pit stop under yellow that was outside their fuel window, knowing they’d get a chance to stop later in the race.

It put Martin out front at the end, in position to spoil what was shaping up to be a blockbuster day for Montoya.

Making his 100th career start on his 34th birthday, Montoya won the pole in record-breaking speed and led every practice session while setting the stage for just his second career Sprint Cup Series victory.

The race ended under caution when AJ Allmendinger spun on the frontstretch as the leaders began their final lap. NASCAR waited for Allmendinger to get his car off the track and was slow to throw the yellow flag because officials were hoping to let the finish play out.

Instead, Martin, Montoya and Hamlin closed quickly on Allmendinger’s disabled vehicle, making for a chaotic final moment that could have led to wrecked race cars.

Jimmie Johnson finished fourth and was followed by Kyle Busch, who missed making the Chase by eight points. Afterward, NASCAR said the left front of his car was too low in post-race inspection.

He could be penalized this week.

Libya to buy Canadian oil firm

AP

American Mikala Reasbeck talks to a colleague at a recruiting office in Beijing, China. When the best job Reasbeck could find after college in Boston was counting pills part-time in a drugstore for $7 an hour, she took the drastic step of jumping on a plane to Beijing in February to look for work.

Young foreigners head to China in search of a job BEIJING (AP) – When the best job Mikala Reasbeck could find after college in Boston was counting pills part-time in a drugstore for $7 an hour, she took the drastic step of jumping on a plane to Beijing in February to look for work.

A week after she started looking, the 23year-old from Wheeling, West Virginia, had a full-time job teaching English.

“I applied for jobs all over the U.S. There just weren’t any,” said Reasbeck, who speaks no Chinese but had volunteered at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In China, she said, “the jobs are so easy to find. And there are so many.”

Young foreigners like Reasbeck are coming to China to look for work in its unfamiliar but less bleak economy, driven by the worst job markets in decades in the United States, Europe and some Asian countries.

Many do basic work such as teaching English, a service in demand from Chinese businesspeople and students. But a growing number are arriving with skills and experience in computers, finance and other fields.

“China is really the land of opportunity now, compared to their home countries,”

said Chris Watkins, manager for China and Hong Kong of MRI China Group, a headhunting firm. “This includes college graduates as well as maybe more established businesspeople, entrepreneurs and executives from companies around the world.”

Watkins said the number of resumes his company receives from abroad has tripled over the past 18 months.

China’s job market has been propped up by Beijing’s 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) stimulus, which helped to boost growth to 7.9 percent from a year earlier in the quarter that ended June 30, up from 6.1 percent the previous quarter. The government says millions of jobs will be created this year, though as many as 12 million job-seekers still will be unable to find work.

Andrew Carr, a 23-year-old Cornell University graduate, saw China as a safer alternative after classmates’ offers of Wall Street jobs were withdrawn due to the economic turmoil.

Passing up opportunities in New York, San Francisco and Boston, Carr started work in August at bangyibang.com, a Web site in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen that lets the public or companies advertise and pay

for help in carrying out business research, getting into schools, finding people and other tasks.

“I noticed the turn the economy was taking, and decided it would be best to go directly to China,” said Carr, who studied Chinese for eight years.

Most of his classmates stayed in the United States and have taken some unusual jobs – one as a fishing guide in Alaska.

China can be more accessible to job hunters than economies where getting work permits is harder, such as Russia and some European Union countries.

Employers need government permission to hire foreigners, but authorities promise an answer within 15 working days, compared with a wait of months or longer that might be required in some other countries. An employer has to explain why it needs to hire a foreigner instead of a Chinese national, but the government says it gives special consideration to people with technical or management skills.

Rules were tightened ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, apparently to keep out possible protesters. That forced some foreign workers to leave as their visas expired.

NEW YORK (AP) – Canada-based oil producer Verenex Energy Inc. said it has agreed to be sold to the Libyan Investment Authority for about $314.1 million Canadian ($293.7 million) in cash, after a better deal with a Chinese firm fell through.

In a memorandum of understanding announced Friday, the sovereign wealth fund agreed to pay $6.63 per share for Verenex’s outstanding shares, a steep discount to its original commitment of $9.35 per share in March, when it promised to match an offer

by China’s CNPC International Ltd. Based on Verenex’s 44.3 million shares outstanding at June 30, the deal is valued at about $293.7 million.

Verenex’s deal with CNPC had been troubled for months.

In March, Libya’s state-run National Oil Corp. said it would exercise its right of first refusal, which gave it the right to block CNPC’s bid to buy the Canadian oil and gas firm. Verenex has operations in Libya’s Area 47, a region estimated to hold roughly 2.15 billion barrels in crude oil reserves.

Then in June, Libya’s NOC claimed that Verenex had acquired Area 47 through an improper bidding process.

CNPC remained interested after an Aug. 24 deadline for the deal passed without a decision from Libyan authorities, but in early September, Verenex announced that the Chinese company had withdrawn.

Under the terms of the deal, a definitive agreement will be signed on or before Oct. 20.

Fed meeting key to continued rally NEW YORK (AP) – If the stock market’s seemingly unstoppable march higher is to be believed, the economy is firmly on the road to recovery. Several key events on the economic calendar this week may help determine whether that conviction holds up.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s prediction last week that the worst of the recession is “likely over” helped sustain the markets’ gains, which brought the Standard & Poor’s 500 index up 2.5 percent through Friday.

This week, the market will get to see what the rest of the Federal Reserve board’s key committee

DILBERT

thinks, when they hold a two-day meeting to decide whether to keep interest rates at their historically low levels of close to zero.

The Fed will have to raise interest rates eventually in order to keep inflation in check, but when that may happen is one of the hottest topics among investors and economists.

It’s widely expected the Fed will keep rates steady at its upcoming meeting, but the statement accompanying the decision will be heavily scrutinized to determine how strong the committee believes the economy is recovering and when that rate change might come.

If Bernanke and other Fed governors continue to preach low interest rates for the foreseeable future to help prod the economy toward recovery, it should provide support for stocks, and also Treasurys.

Bond traders have been concerned about the potential for inflation eating into yields on government debt.

Any signals from the Fed that interest rates might need to be raised in the near future to combat inflation could spook investors and help push the markets lower. Investors will also get reports this week on new and existing home sales, durable goods orders and leading economic indicators.

Daimler CEO optimistic about future BERLIN (AP) – The chief executive of Daimler AG is cautiously optimistic about the future of the German automaker.

After high losses in the first half of 2009, Daimler would make a profit during the second half of this year,

CEO Dieter Zetsche told German radio Deutschlandfunk on Sunday.

Zetsche also said that Daimler wants to save 4 billion euros this year.

He rejected speculation about job cuts at the Stuttgart-based company,

whose brands include Mercedes-Benz, Smart, Maybach and AMG. “Assuming that we are experiencing the beginning of a slow but steady recovery ... we do not have any plans for job cuts,” Zetsche said.
