HIGH POINT – You can talk to local nonprofit leaders to get their take on the most important needs of the community.

You can speak with volunteers and social workers about the people they assist every day.

But another way to find out what locals in need, well, need, is to listen to what they’re saying – specifically to the 2-1-1 referral line.

That’s the statewide phone number set up by the United Way that individuals in need of financial, food or other basic assistance can call. According to Bobby Smith, president of

the United Way of Greater High Point, the calls are answered by operators at a call center in Durham, who provide referrals or suggestions to individuals about where they should go.

Monthly and quarterly reports are sent to each area United Way. The numbers in the reports don’t surprise Smith, but they can provide some details on what individuals actually are struggling with.

Operators see great need

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Pointers who call the United Way’s 2-1-1 referral service will often be greeted by Alberto Cruz’s voice on the other end of the phone.

A customer service representative at the statewide call center in Durham, he provides referrals to those in need of basic items, such as food, shelter, clothing or health care.

“I would say I handle between 60 and 70 calls a day,” said Cruz, who also is bilingual and assists Spanish-speaking callers. “Maybe 50 to 60 percent of those callers are very distressed, worried or upset.”

The 211 center takes calls from all over the state, but Cruz said he’s familiar with the needs of those in High Point, Greensboro and Charlotte because a large majority of his callers are from those areas.

When he answers, he listens to their stories, such as how they became homeless or why their kitchen has no food in it. After 15 months of working at the call center, he knows how to quickly locate information for nonprofit agencies in the caller’s area that may be able to assist them.

“We give them telephone numbers, hours of

operation, addresses and eligibility requirements,” he said.

Sometimes, however, the callers will become even more upset after sharing their story. That’s because many people think that the 211 center will provide direct help. But as Cruz often points out, it’s a referral service, not a direct help line.

“Many callers believe that we provide assistance directly,” he said. “At the end of the call, they say, ‘What are you going to do to help me?’ That’s when I clarify that this is a referral service. We provide referrals to agencies that can provide.”

Though callers are sometimes disappointed to hear this, Cruz knows that the referral service can work for those who use it properly.

Many callers begin to regularly contact the center every few weeks in search of new programs that can provide assistance.

“A lot of our callers have contacted us before, and they know what we are about,” he said.

“They call back to see if there is a new agency or resource. Needs are also different throughout the year. In the winter, people will call to request utility assistance for heat. In the summer, it’s just the opposite. People are wanting fans.”

But the best part about Cruz’s job, he said, is the fulfillment of helping another person.

ABOUT 211

HIGH POINT – School district leaders reviewed several literacy programs Saturday to get an idea of what works and what more can be done to raise student literacy levels.

The district has computer programs aimed at recognizing problems and other programs to help develop reading skills, but leaders want to do more, especially for black males. Just 50 percent of them read at grade level. That compares to 67 percent of students across the district.

“This topic is certainly important,” Superintendent Mo Green told Guilford County Board of Education members attending a

retreat. “We are well below where we need to be for literacy among African-American males. We want to make significant progress.”

The district uses the DIEBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy) data system to track student literacy. Each teacher using the program can create a profile for every student to show a student’s weaknesses.

The 2-1-1 call center is located in Durham.

“It’s a very nice feeling to know that you are able to somehow assist someone,” he said. “It can be touching for me, especially when I get calls from senior citizens. I like to help them a lot. It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to help people in need.”

Bobby Smith, president of the United Way of Greater High Point, said the operators at the service always have been friendly, according to clients who have called the center that he has spoken with.

“We’ve been very impressed with the sincerity of the operators and their compassion,” Smith said. “They’re not telemarketers, and it isn’t supposed to be a counseling hot line. But at the same time, from what I’ve heard and seen, they don’t try to get you off the phone as soon as possible. They’re genuine about helping you find the best possible services in our community.”

Fast For Word is a computerassisted literacy program many students love, said Geraldine Cox, principal of Rankin Elementary in Greensboro.

“It is like a video game, and it sometimes moves too fast for me,” Cox said. “We can handle only 27 students at a time and we are changing schedules to offer more sessions.”

The program’s individualized, adaptive computer exercises strengthen the brain’s ability to process information, according to Scientific Learning, the producer of Fast For Word. There is also the traditional method of sending home vocabulary words for students to study with their parents.

Acccident leaves one dead, three injured ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – One person was killed and three others injured in an early-morning traffic accident Saturday.

High Point police officers responded to the 300 block of N. Scientific Street at 2:54 a.m. and found that a southbound vehicle had run off the left side of the

road, struck a utility pole and then a tree.

High Point firefighters responded since all four of the vehicle’s occupants had to be extracted.

Two victims were taken to Moses Cone Hospital, and the other two were taken to High Point Regional Hospital. One of the passengers succumbed to his

Geese gather on the rooftop of a flooded building in historic downtown Windsor on Friday. Several days of heavy rains caused severe flooding in several communities in eastern portion of the state on Thursday and Friday, resulting in over 100 rescues by emergency personnel.

Holidays spark peak

Governor to tour flooded areas of eastern NC WINDSOR (AP) – Gov. Beverly Perdue plans to tour flood damage in eastern North Carolina as swollen rivers were expected to crest Saturday following last week’s heavy rains from Tropical Storm Nicole.

Perdue’s office said she would visit the towns of Windsor and Vanceboro today.

The North Carolina State Emergency Response Team said in a news release that much of Windsor is expected to remain under water for several days.

The downtown has been evacuated along with more than 40 residents from a nursing home.

Some roads remained closed Saturday as rivers and creeks spilled over their banks after as much as 19 inches of rain fell in the Greenville area last week. It was the same area that had been damaged by heavy rain and flooding

from 1999’s Hurricane Floyd.

“People who live out here are very worried because of what happened in ‘99,” James Godley, who lived less than a quarter-mile from the flooded area, told The Daily Reflector of Greenville.

“This is the first time they’ve had to close the highway since then. It brings back that fear.”

Triumph Missionary Baptist Church was flooded in 1999 and when the church rebuilt, the property’s elevation was raised to protect the building.

That strategy appeared to be working, said deacon Johnny Daniels.

Water covered parts of the parking lot Friday, but hadn’t gotten to the building.

amount of phone calls referred to the United Way of Greater High Point came in December, when 249 calls were referred to the organization for its services.

Its typical to see the calls peak during the holidays when the need is the greatest, Smith said. The numbers wane off in the summer, as they did this summer when 129 calls were referred to the organization in June.

But they also begin to rise as the holidays approach again. In August, 150 calls were referred to High Point nonprofits.

“In some ways, this is like a lifeline for people, especially for those who, in the first time in their life, are experiencing unemployment or under-employment and are looking for services but don’t know how to navigate the network of nonprofit or government entities,” Smith said.

The second quarter report, recently released, shows there were nearly 400 calls made by individuals who were referred to a United Way of Greater High Point agency. The largest number of calls were tracked as “basic needs” calls — a statistic Smith said isn’t surprising. Basic needs include services like food and rent assistance. Thirty-nine of those calls also revolved around health care.

“When you delve into the numbers, even before the recession, the majority of our calls were tracked for basic human needs,” he said.

“The nature of the situation hasn’t changed dramatically, and it’s still

for a light rain over the next two days.

“Given that there will be a bit of lull, any flooding will start to recede and since it won’t be as nearly as much rain, there will be some ponding but it won’t effect our flooding situation,” said weather service meteorologist Lara Pagano.

The Neuse River, the New River, Chicod Creek, Swift River and Trent River were all above flood stage Saturday morning.

The State Emergency Response Team said about 35 people remained in four shelters Saturday. About 50 homes and businesses were still without power, down from a peak outage of 70,000 Friday.

Water rescue teams, the Highway Patrol, National Guard and U.S. Coast Guard have rescued more than 250 people from flooded houses and cars since late Thursday, mostly in Bertie County.

what we’re seeing.”

Of the 150 callers from August, 57 were referred to Open Door Ministries of High Point, which provides food, shelter and basic services like utility assistance. Another 53 calls were referred to a general group of nonprofits that provide emergency assistance. Other organizations that received referrals included the High Point Salvation Army and the High Point/Thomasville American Red Cross.

Statewide, there were more than 5,300 calls made to 2-1-1 in August.

The 2-1-1 call center, which had operations in Charlotte and Greensboro but was consolidated to Durham, was created by the North Carolina United Way in 1999. It’s been modified over time to take calls from cell phones, and its popularity continues to grow as times continue to be tough, Smith said. He said he serves not only as a resource to those in need, but to those who are trying to help others.

“To me, if I was a human resources manager, I think 2-1-1 would be my best friend,” he said. “A human resources person often will have a good employee, but they seem to be having an issue that’s forbidding them to come to work or show up on time. Maybe they need a day care for their child, or any other number of services. You can help solve issues for your employees with 2-1-1 while getting them focused on their job.”

High Point University Focuses on Values-Based Learning and Holistic Education Dear Friend: By now you know that the High Point University Board of Trustees approved the expansion of our transformational growth plan over the next 10 years.

We are proud to be High Point’s University and could not have made it this far without the support of our community and city officials.

HPU is grateful for what has already taken place in the last five years: SAT scores soared 100 points, freshman enrollment tripled, the number of faculty doubled, the campus grew in size by 150%, and 28 new buildings enhanced student opportunities and brought HPU deserved national acclaim.

Why has HPU been so successful, so fast, with a sustainable model that amazes observers? Because we adhere to fundamental principles including: 1) We are a God,, familyy and countryy school. We honor every student regardless of background and we boldly promote personal responsibility, social justice and individual expression.

2) We believe in values-based learning. g Not teaching—learning. You can’t teach values, but you surely can model them. Values like generosity, service, joy and fellowship go a long way in molding our souls and feeding our hearts.

3) We focus on holistic education. We prepare our students for a life filled with successful challenges and significant positive outcomes. Teaching the how is training; understanding the why is education.

Showing students what to do is transactional; encouraging them on how to be is transformational.

4) We p promote experiential p learningg in everyy field. Through Maymester courses, Study Abroad, undergraduate research, internships, work study, volunteerism, community engagement activities and entrepreneurial explorations, students see and feel the impact they can have in the world of business and life.

High Point University is a special place—a very special place with stellar faculty, talented students, supportive parents, faithful alumni, visionary trustees and generous benefactors. It’s an extraordinary institution of higher learning.

If you think the last five years have been amazing …you’ll be abundantly impressed with the next 10 years.

And the expanded growth plan will help produce an even more distinctive university.

Rescuers search for victims of a train crash near a station in Petarukan in Central Java, Indonesia, Saturday. The early morning train crash killed dozens of people and injured dozens more, many of them critically, officials and witnesses said.

Train crash in central Indonesia kills at least 36 PETARUKAN, Indonesia (AP) – A train crashed into another parked at a railway station in central Indonesia early Saturday, killing at least 36 people and injuring dozens, many seriously, officials and witnesses said.

Rescuers spent hours searching through the mangled wreckage for trapped survivors of the accident, which occurred just before 3 a.m., as many passengers were sleeping.

A train from the capital, Jakarta, plowed into the rear of a train that

was sitting at a station in Petarukan, a coastal city in Central Java province, said Transportation Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan.

The force of the crash knocked several carriages off the track, waking Anwar Sumarno, a university student, with a bang. The lights were knocked out in his cabin and screams of the injured pierced the darkness. “At first I was so shocked I couldn’t move, but then I grabbed my backpack and shoved my

way outside,� said the 24year-old, who had been sitting near the front of the idle train. “Bloody corpses were hanging from the carriages. ... There was nothing we could do,� he said. “It was total confusion.�

It took almost an hour for rescue workers and ambulances to arrive at the scene, which was littered with twisted debris.

Villagers, railway officials and some passengers used their bare hands and bamboo sticks to search for survivors.

Osama softens tone, but to what end?

CAIRO (AP) – Softening his tone, al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden issued a humanitarian appeal on Saturday urging Muslim governments to do more to help Pakistan’s flood victims and expressing worry about climate change. It was his second purported audiotape in as many days.

The less aggressive approach contrasted with al-Qaida’s previous calls for a violent response in what experts say could

be a “good cop, bad cop� ploy to exploit anger over the flooding and rally support Bin Laden for the terror network.

Al-Qaida is under pressure to refurbish support among Pakistanis as it faces a surge in U.S. missile strikes and government crackdowns on insurgents who easily move between Afghanistan and

Pakistan’s porous border.

American officials have asserted for months that the core of the network has been weakened and is struggling to raise money and attract recruits.

Bin Laden, who is believed to be hiding in the lawless border area that separates the two countries, said governments of Muslim nations have not done enough to help Pakistanis hit by devastating floods that killed hundreds and affected about 20 million people this summer.

US may issue warning on public places in Europe WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration is considering a broad warning for U.S. citizens to avoid public places in Europe due to new al-Qaida threats, U.S. and European officials said Saturday.

Such a move could have significant implications for European tourism.

The State Department may issue a travel warning as early as today advising Americans to stay away from tourist sites, transportation hubs and other facilities because of fresh threat information, U.S. officials said. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley declined to comment on the matter.

He borrowed some of conservative commentator Glenn Beck’s rhetoric and vowed to “take back our country.�

With a month of campaigning to go and voter unhappiness high, the Democratic-leaning organizers hope the fourhour program of speeches and entertainment energizes activists who are crucial if Democrats are to retain their majorities in the House and Senate.

GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meg Whitman blames opponent for housekeeper controversy FRESNO, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman accused Democratic rival Jerry Brown of orchestrating a scandal over her former illegal immigrant housekeeper.

The issue dominated the candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second debate on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The real tragedy here is Nicky. After Nov. 2, no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be watching out for Nicky Diaz,â&#x20AC;? Whitman said, referring to the former housekeeper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Jerry, you know you should be ashamed, you and your surrogates

... put her deportation at risk. You put it out there and you should be ashamed for sacrificing Nicky Diaz on the altar of your political ambitions.â&#x20AC;?

Whitman Brown responded by saying Whitman was trying to evade responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run for governor if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand up on your own two feet and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey I made a mistake,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? he said.

On paper, Islamic center looks modern, secular NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Conceptual sketches of the Islamic center planned two blocks from ground zero envision a futuristic-looking building wrapped in a honeycomb of abstract shapes, with a core containing far more space for secular pursuits than religious worship.

The renderings, some of which were posted on the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website this week, are preliminary, but they project the development teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to build something cosmopolitan and fun on a site now known only for controversy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that once this thing gets built, anyone will be picketing,â&#x20AC;? said Sharif El-Gamal, the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developer.

construction is probably two to three years away, â&#x20AC;&#x153;or hopefully sooner,â&#x20AC;? ElGamal said.

The largest part of the building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; four of 16 floors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would be taken up by a sports, fitness and swimming center. Another full floor would be occupied by a child care center.

Much of the rest of the building would be occupied by a restaurant, culinary school, artist studios, exhibition space and an auditorium for cultural events.

El-Gamal said the idea was to build a facility that will attract neighborhood residents looking for a place to work out, as well as suburban Muslim couples spending â&#x20AC;&#x153;date nightâ&#x20AC;? in the city.

State police say they have recovered the body of a 55-year-old woman whose car had been swept off the road Friday by rising floodwaters near the town of Claryville in the Catskill Mountains.

Searchers found Nancy Lavelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body Saturday in the Neversink Reservoir in Bradley, about 80 miles northwest of New York City.

Her car had been discovered the day before, upside down in a remote part of the Neversink River about 10 miles upstream.

In this image released by CBS, former football coach Jimmy Johnson gives instructions to fellow “Survivor: Nicaragua” contestants.

Jimmy Johnson: ‘Survivor’ was good for his waistline MIAMI (AP) – Jimmy Johnson had a mixed reaction as he watched his final appearance on “Survivor.”

That haggard look after losing 18 pounds thanks to weeks of little food? Not all bad. “I liked the part that I was 180 pounds,” Johnson said Thursday.

“I hadn’t seen that look in about 50 years.”

The former coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins and Miami Hurricanes was the third person voted off the CBS reality TV competition Wednesday.

Johnson bowed out while the show was being recorded this summer in Nicaragua, and he recalls reacting to the vote with both disappointment and relief.

“I was completely

drained,” he said. “Energy-wise I was really at rock bottom. But there was obviously disappointment I didn’t go further. Being voted out on ‘Survivor’ is the first time I’ve ever gotten fired.”

Like the football fan he is, Johnson did some second-guessing. He said he could have lasted longer by forming an alliance with several women, and he didn’t anticipate the scheming against him by Marty Piombo, a 48-yearold technology executive.

“I told everybody on the tribe, ‘They’re not going to award me a million bucks. So I’m not a threat,’ ” Johnson said.

“I thought I had everybody convinced I was not a threat, but evidently I miscalculated.”

Dispute: Fox sports channels, MSG drop off Dish Network LOS ANGELES (AP) – Satellite TV operator Dish Network Corp. said Friday that News Corp.’s Fox television unit dropped access to 19 regional sports networks, FX and the National Geographic Channel after Dish refused to pay for a rate increase of more than 50 percent.

In a related development, Dish also stopped carrying MSG and MSG Plus, affecting New Yorkarea sports fans, saying it refused a “double digit” percentage rate hike proposal linked to carrying Fuse, which it called a “low-rated music video channel.”

Dish, controlled by billionaire Charlie Ergen, called Fox’s rate hike demand “unprecedented” and said it was driven by what Fox has paid for the right to exclusive TV coverage of sports in local markets. Their multiyear deal expired

Stamos wants to be heard at Michigan court hearing MARQUETTE, Mich.

(AP) – Actor John Stamos can’t make it to federal court in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula next week, but he still wants to be heard.

Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to allow them to read a statement Stamos from Stamos when two people are sentenced Friday for trying to extort $680,000 from him.

In July, Allison Coss and Scott Sippola were found guilty of conspiracy and using e-mail to threaten a person’s reputation. They were accused of demanding money from Stamos in exchange for turning over embarrassing photos of him.

at midnight on Thursday.

The dispute means that a portion of Dish’s more than 14.3 million subscribers will be unable to watch early season hockey games while the fight continues. New York-area Dish subscribers of MSG and MSG Plus could also miss out on live hockey games of the Rangers, Islanders, Devils and Sabres starting next week.

“I can’t continue financing their war chest to keep on buying these rights,” said Dave Shull, Dish’s senior vice president of programming.

Passing on programmingcost increases to its subscribers would go against the company’s main selling point, he said.

“Having the best price for pay TV is a core part of our DNA,” he said.

“That’s a critical part of our message to subscribers and we have to be able to maintain that.”

Officials save stimulus funds

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Most of the school district’s next round of federal stimulus money will be spent next year.

The Gulford County Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday to approve Superintendent Mo Green’s plan to spend perhaps $1 million of the $14.2 million allocation this year.

“If there is a particular issue that we need to address throughout the year, then, certainly, we would have the funds to do that,” Green said.

STIMULUS

–

Job Funds: The school district’s share from the $26 billion Education Jobs Fund is $14.2 million to spend before Sept. 30, 2012.

Race to the Top: North Carolina won in the second round of RTT awards. Nationwide, the federal government will give out $4.35 billion.

Green said most budget projections from Raleigh are mixed and not good.

“There are still concerns that the state could cut the budget from 5 to 15 percent next year and there could be a 5 percent cut this year. We should

save this money as best we can,” Green said.

Green has compared budget preparations for next to approaching a cliff.

“The best case we may have is that a few hundred teaching positions will

disappear,” said board member Garth Hebert of High Point.

The district will receive about $68 million in stimulus funds over two years to save 750 full-time equivalent positions, but that allocation is scheduled to run out next year. Green said earlier the new allocation can “replace other federal dollars and continue another year.” Green also suggested keeping the Guilford County Board of Commissioners informed about the spending plans.

Staff members told Green and the board that planning has started on how to

use $9.9 million in federal Race to the Top funds over four years to improve student achievement. School districts will divide an estimated $200 million. An application must be filed with state officials by Nov. 8.

The state sought grant funding for several school reform programs, ranging from recruiting and retaining quality teachers to upgrading technology.

So far, state officials have said that job funds grants will have no restrictions, except perhaps for central office expenses. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Jane Whitley, team member of the Cherub Chili Peppers from Hospice of Davidson, serves up some chili at the fifth annual First Presbyterian Chili Cook-off in Thomasville.

House, A Cleaner World and the Thomasville Civitan Club, donated proceeds to His Laboring Few Ministries, Cooperative Community Ministries, Fairgrove Family Resource Center and St. Stephens Missionary Baptist Church.

“We’ve got 10 contestants. That’s more than we’ve ever had,” said Phil Griffin of First Presbyterian’s Men of the Church

group, which organizes the event.

The community service angle of the event was much on the minds of Thomasville Rotary Club members Earl Snipes and Wayne Herrick, who were also taking pride in their chili, offering a table full of toppings, including jalapeno peppers. The club took home the people’s choice award.

The judges – Thomasville Mayor Joe Bennett, State Rep. Jerry Dockham and a Thomasville Medical Center representative – recognized Calvary United Church of Christ, otherwise known as the Barefoot Chili Peppers, as runnerup. First-time contestant Hospice of Davidson County, who were glossed the Cherub Chili Peppers, took third place.

“Any opportunity to give back to the community is something we always want to be a part of,” said Tammy Troublefield, community liaison for Hospice, which brought 34 quarts of chili made by one of its employees to the cook-off. “For the most part, it’s been pretty steady with people so we’re pleased.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Cedar Square Road comes to an abrupt end at the new U.S. 311 Bypass.

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Crews for the N.C. Department of Transportation still hope to complete the latest segment of U.S. 311 next month.

The goal is to open the new segment to traffic before Thanksgiving, said Mike Mills, division engineer out of the Greensboro DOT office.

The new section is expected to make commuting easier for motorists traveling to and

from High Point and northern Randolph County, alleviating traffic that now has to travel U.S. 311 Business/ Main Street.

The final segment of U.S. 311 from Spencer Road to U.S. 220 won’t be completed until at least the fall of 2012.

Leaders in the region have pressed for decades to complete the U.S. 311 link around High Point and through the northern portion of Randolph County. Initial plans for the extension of the highway date back nearly 50 years.

Eventually, U.S. 311 will become part of the Interstate 74 network that will link the Midwest to the coast of South Carolina.

Announcer Art Gilmore, familiar voice on radio, TV, movie trailers, dies at 98 MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Art Gilmore, who launched his more than 60-year career as an announcer in the 1930s and became a widely recognized voice on radio, television, commercials, documentaries and movie trailers, has died. He was 98.

Gilmore died Sept. 25 of age-related causes at a convalescent care center near his home in Irvine, Calif., said his nephew, Robb Weller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was one of an elite corps of radio and television announcers, a voice that everyone in America recognized because it was ubiquitous,â&#x20AC;? film critic and show business historian Leonard Maltin told the Los Angeles Times this week.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;For at least 20 years, if you listened to radio, watched TV or went to the movies, you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but hear Art Gilmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice,â&#x20AC;? said Maltin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t especially deep like some announcers, but it had authority, command and yet also a kind of friendliness.

I think it was an allAmerican voice.â&#x20AC;?

Among the highlights of Gilmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long and prolific career: On radio, he was the announcer on shows such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amos â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Andy,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Christian,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Ryderâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sears Radio Theater.â&#x20AC;?

Cannell, prolific TV writer and producer, dies at 69 MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stephen J. Cannell, the prolific television writer and producer who co-created â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rockford Filesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The A-Teamâ&#x20AC;? and later became a best-selling novelist, has died. He was 69.

Cannell died Thursday evening of complications associated with melanoma at his home in Pasadena, said his family.

Perdue puts stop to repayments for unemployment benefits error RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gov. Beverly Perdue ordered North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Employment Security Commission on Friday to stop taking money out of unemployment checks to recoup overpayments that came from an administrative error.

A statement from the commission said Perdue also asked the agency to stop cashing any checks sent in by benefit recipients who were trying to repay the overpayments from previous checks.

She also instructed the commission to waive all overpayments from Jan. 1 to May 16 that resulted from an administrative error.

That means the recipients are not required to repay anything.

The agency released a plan late Thursday that it hoped would prevent tens of thousands of jobless people from having to return $28 million in overpayments they received by mistake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ESC has worked diligently to correct this error,â&#x20AC;? ESC Chairman Lynn Holmes said in the statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The good news is that claimants affected by the overpayment will no longer have money taken out of their weekly benefits.

We are developing a plan to refund to those persons who had already made repayment.â&#x20AC;?

The commission said Thursday it would work with the U.S. Department of Labor to offset the un-

employment check overpayments given out because of the administrative errors. The labor department also has pledged to review claims in an accelerated method, according to the commission.

The commission began sending out letters last week to about 38,000 people who were out of work for at least a year who were either overpaid or underpaid through no fault of their own. About 15 percent of recipients were underpaid and will be eligible for additional benefits. Others could see their benefits being reduced.

The plan, announced after commission leaders met with Perdue, also will extend hours at the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call center.

NEW BERN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hundreds from Murphy to Manteo came to New Bernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riverfront Convention Center recently to bid N.C. Highway Patrol Col. Randy Glover a fond farewell.

Glover retired after 30 years and making his way to the top rung of the patrol ladder. He had a year at the top after he was tapped by Gov. Bev Perdue to lead a patrol that would be plagued by inappropriate behavior.

But that was then, and now Glover plans to enjoy his time with his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first thanks go to God for not being seriously

injured in 30 years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a dangerous profession and you have to be a special person to do this job.

I will never turn my back on this organization.â&#x20AC;?

Whether he wanted to be honored or not, he was.

Gloverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immediate boss, Reuben Young, Crime Control and Public Safety secretary, presented him the prestigious Order of the Long Leaf Pine Certificate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no finer men or women than those who serve on the patrol,â&#x20AC;?

Young said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no man more committed and passionate about the state highway patrol than Randy Glover.â&#x20AC;?

Aquarium wants visitors to help name turtle PINE KNOLL SHORES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The North Carolina Aquarium wants visitors to help name a rare white loggerhead sea turtle in its care.

Aquarium officials said in a news release Friday that the 2-month old turtle has a genetic abnormality that makes its shell and skin various shades of white rather than the normal gray and brown.

The turtle is not a true albino as it has some color variations and its eyes are dark rather than red or pink.

North Carolina wildlife biologists found the turtle while checking an excavated nest for weak hatchlings. The aquarium plans to keep and display the turtle because it would be easy pickings for predators and would be susceptible to skin damage from the sun.

The hatchling also has a cleft palate and malformed beak that make feeding difficult.

Separate ways

Boston archdiocese disputes fewer parishes planned BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Parishioners and a high-ranking member of the Boston Archdiocese are disagreeing over whether the official spoke of slashing the number of parishes in half.

The parishioners say chancellor James McDonough told them in a meeting that the archdiocese is aiming to downsize to 150 parishes. But McDonough on Friday denied saying that and added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not looking to close churches.â&#x20AC;?

The archdiocese has already endured a brutal round of church closings after a reconfiguration that began in 2004 and reduced the number of parishes from 357 to 291. Five churches have since been occupied by parishioners who protested the closures by refusing to leave the buildings.

Simply disagreeing doesn’t make one hate-filled In response to Kristine Kaiser’s column Sept. 25: Benjamin Franklin is better known for his aphoristic writings and flying kites. Really, is that the best she can come up with?

Maybe her time would have been better spent studying up on Benjamin Franklin instead of tearing down Glenn Beck.

Beck never claimed to be a minister but a man who loves his country. A man who was able to draw a crowd of over 500,000 people. The rally was an event to celebrate America, honor our heroes, our heritage and our future. The “Restoring Honor” rally on Sept. 28 was able to raise more than $5 million dollars for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

Through the support of nonprofit organizations like the Special Operations Warrior Foundation the families of these service members are taken care of in the event of an accident or loss of life. Does this sound like a man who is hate-filled and distrusting?

Is he hate-filled and distrusting because he does not agree with Kaiser and the president?

When George Bush was president, Hillary Clinton stated that

YOUR VIEW

is was not unpatriotic to disagree with the president. Does that mean she was hate-filled and distrusting by her statement?

President Obama has repeatedly claimed that America is not a Christian nation. If Kaiser is waiting for Obama to share his Christian faith, don’t! It is not going to happen. Has she spent any time researching black liberation theology? Probably no more than she spent on Benjamin Franklin.

Would you want a president leading people to God who is very closed-mouth about his faith?

A president whose daddy was a Muslim, his mother was an atheist and whose spiritual leader was Jeremiah Wright?

TONIA TURNBILL Trinity

Give gay people rights, responsibilities of marriage The Your View letter published Sept. 24, “Homosexual marriage is not a constitutional right,” is a

showcase of fear, ignorance and hate.

Douglas S. Riddick compares same-gender love to “having sex in public or having sex with children ... sex with animals ... lying and stealing” and describes samegender attraction as “deviancy” and “sexual perversion.” Such slanderous, irresponsible speech dehumanizes gay people and sets them up as targets of hate and violence. The perversion is condemning a relationship based on love.

I suppose I should not take personally Riddick’s condemnation of my same-gender commitment. Obviously, Riddick does not know me or my partner of 37 years and has not bothered to listen to the concerns of gay people or educate himself about samegender love. We are human beings with the same needs, hopes, and desires as heterosexuals.

Love between gay couples is no different than the love between heterosexuals and deserves the same respect. We are fellow Americans who should be free

from discrimination and have all the rights and responsibilities of marriage.

Riddick talks about mores and morality, but morality is how we treat one another (the Golden Rule). How would you feel if told you could not marry the person with whom you want to spend the rest of your life? It is morally and logically impossible to claim love and respect for gay people and at the same time oppose their basic human right to form a family. Allowing gays to marry gays would show respect for the welfare and equality of all Americans and strengthen society.

YOUR VIEW POLL

OUR VIEW

aving a committee of citizens review High Point’s economic incentives policy not only is a good idea, it’s a necessity.

Governments around the world, for at least threequarters of a century, have sought to attract investment – much of it foreign – to their countries, states, regions and local communities by allocating public resources for preferential business location and retention incentives, according to the Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness. “As early as 1937, a foreign trade zone (free trade port) was created on Staten Island in New York City to attract foreign companies to the United States,” a center report says.

The city of High Point has been awarding incentives, mostly with favorable results, for at least a couple of decades and a review of its policy has been kicked around in City Council’s Finance Committee for about 18 months with no resolution.

The “outside” review committee, composed of five members appointed by the High Point Economic Development Corp. and four from across the community, is expected to report its findings before year’s end. It grew from a perceived need to “redirect” financial awards for and to seek other types of inducements to lure economic development projects to the core city and south High Point, an approach The High Point Enterprise has encouraged for much of the last decade. Such inducements could include provisions for waiving permit fees for companies and offering water, sewer or road improvements. The committee’s review of the policy shouldn’t be too narrow in scope and is intended, it has been reported, to be citywide in scope while putting special emphasis on two parts of the city that may have been shortchanged in development and redevelopment.

The website, North Carolina in the Global Economy, claims “the most important criticism against corporate incentives is that they are not considered very essential by companies themselves and divert scarce resources from other investments that are truly valued in the business community.” A 2000 survey by Rondinelli and Burpitt found international company executives operating in North Carolina placed government tax incentives, agency assistance and financing close to the bottom of an 11-item list of factors managers felt to be influential in their location decision. “... While the requirements of companies in different industries differ considerably, the following factors headed the list: labor force, transportation, quality of life, business climate and education. ... Even if incentives come into consideration, this is at the final stage of the selection process and even then they can be trumped by other factors.”

Frankly, we don’t like the incentives game but realize that conventional wisdom says we have to play it in the current environment. That’s why we’re pleased that the incentives review is taking place locally. It will position us much better for negotiation. Git-r-done!

Somebody’s hoarding Peanuts

D

id you realize Peanuts was 60 years old yesterday?

Back in the 1970s, I was editor of a newspaper toiling in the shadows of two big city papers, one of which was given exclusivity privilege by the syndicate that distributed Peanuts, which meant our newspaper couldn’t use it. Every time the syndicate salesman visited, regardless of the offer he made on any other feature he was peddling, I’d always tell him, “Let me ‘buy’ Peanuts and I’ll take all four of the features you just offered.” He’d balk, of course, because of the other paper’s exclusive contract, but I used that as a wedge to get him to lower his prices on the features I could buy.

I was happy to see, when I came to The High Point Enterprise a score of years ago, that Peanuts was part of the comics page(s) package. Peanuts’ originator Charles M. Schulz died Feb. 13, 2000. The comic strip has appeared in more than 2,000 newspapers in 72 counties and 21 languages and has continued the past decade in reruns.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2010 www.hpe.com

‘Well, I studied at I Juilliard’ I

saw a newsflash last week revealing a new survey that indicates the “rich” are getting richer, and the “poor” are getting poorer. Yea, right. Next, I suppose some joker will be trying to get us to believe that smokers have a higher instance of lung cancer, married citizens who cheat on their spouse have higher divorce rates and folks who smoke dope every day are having difficulty getting a good job!

In this report, the communist-in-socalist-clothing and former Secretary of Labor for President Clinton, Robert Reich, noted that the top five stock fund managers last year made a billion dollars each and wondered how many teachers we could have employed with those earnings. Education is a major concern for Reich.

In fact, though great personal sacrifice, he resisted the temptation to enter the private business world to actually participate in labor, OPINION and has spent his entire career Steve in academia.

Bryant And between ■■■ writing “how to” business books, he has been helping our governmental institutions to ... well, to do that voo doo, that they do: govern!

Gee, now he tells us! According to Reich’s calculations, if only Bill Gates had slept in, then we could have had an extra $80 billion dollars to pay for more teachers. If Tiger Woods would just ease off a bit, then $200 million a year could be funneled into the control of “experts” who know best how to spend someone else’s moola.

In fact, all of you uncaring idiots who get up every morning and show up at your job should be ashamed. Go to a mirror right now and practice looking ashamed because YOU are depriving your indolent brothers and sisters what is rightfully their due. Your earnings would automatically go to the more deserving by default, if you weren’t so selfish.

Thank the good Lord that we have a man in the White House today who understands that our system has created such misery, not only here at home, but all throughout the world. Our President Obama knows all too well how badly we need to be lead out from the “valley greed created” and, to correct the mistakes of our foolish forefathers.

Thank God that President Obama knows that we need to destroy the evil capitalists so we can finally have “decent pay and good jobs, our jobs.”

Give thanks above on this Sabbath that our President Obama understands that we need to atone for our indiscretions from when we butted in on European affairs back in 1941. Be thankful that our President Obama understands that we owe the rest of the world an apology for a system that has produced the misery of electric power, the confining constraints of self-propelled transportation and the decadent luxury of sit-down toilets.

But mainly today, give thanks that the little sawed-off, 4-foot, 10-inch Robert Reich, was able to look up to another champion of “education,” the 5-foot, 4-inch murdering Joseph Stalin. And that there are at least a few among us who understand that the problem with education in this country today has nothing to do with those who drop out of the system before the really smart ones begin their lectures.

Let’s develop a workable jobs plan

n the 1992 election, candidate Bill Clinton’s campaign manager kept Democrats focused by repeating one phrase that defined the campaign: “It’s the economy, stupid.” This year candidates need to understand the No. 1 theme is: “It’s jobs, stupid.”

The Employment Security Commission reports North Carolina’s unemployment rate as 9.7 percent, but the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says the true rate is about 17.8 percent because so many have stopped looking for jobs or are grossly underemployed.

Our state’s economy is stagnant at best.

The candidates understand that jobs and the economy are top concerns in this election cycle, but so far no one has articulated a workable plan for job creation in this state.

This is a difficult but not impossible challenge. Creating more government jobs isn’t the solution. It’s not even

an option as we face a $3 billion dollar budget shortfall next year. The solution also isn’t the massive economic developMY SPIN ment incentives state and local Tom governments Campbell are giving away ■■■ in the form of grants and tax credits. These incentives take too long for payrolls to begin, they cost too much, benefit too few and small businesses, the ones creating most of the new jobs, get no benefit.

Here are the criteria we favor. Any jobs initiative should have an immediate impact, meaning the first paycheck starts within six months. It should be available to big and small, new and existing firms, be easy to understand and implement and significant enough to incentivize a

company to create a new job.

We also believe counties with unemployment rates of 12 percent or greater should get help first.

Our jobs initiative would immediately call a halt to all new state and local government economic incentive grants. This new program would provide employers an incentive in the form of tax credits amounting to 20 percent (as much as $7 per hour) of the hourly wage for a permanent new full-time job.

To make sure these funds are distributed evenly, no employer could receive approval for more than five new positions.

Previous incentive programs have doled out as much as $100,000 per new job created. Under this proposed approach a new $52,000 job would cost taxpayers $10,400, but the big payoff would be the immediate ripple effect this new job would have in the local economy, not to mention

the sales, income and property taxes the wage-earner would pay.

We’ve researched, studied and asked how much in total economic incentives our state and local governments award each year. The truth is nobody knows. One knowledgeable source estimated it could be as much as $100 million a year. If true, our plan would fund the creation of 9,615 jobs.

Even if only half that number is created, North Carolina’s unemployment rate would improve quickly.

Don’t like our plan? Show us yours! But we should all agree it is time to stop talking about creating new jobs and start doing something that will put people to work!

Politics vs. gold Why is Obamacare legislation regulating precious metal’s purchases?

O

ne of the many slick tricks of the Obama administration was to insert a provision in the massive Obamacare legislation regulating people who sell gold. This had nothing to do with medical care but everything to do with sneaking in an extension of the government’s power over gold, in a bill too big for most people to read.

Gold has long been a source of frustration for politicians who want to extend their power over the economy. First of all, the gold standard cramped their style because there is only so much money you can print when every dollar bill can be turned in to the government, to be exchanged for the equivalent amount OPINION of gold.

When the amount of Thomas money the government Sowell can print is limited by how ■■■ much gold the government has, politicians cannot pay off a massive national debt by just printing more money and repaying the owners of government bonds with dollars that are cheaper than the dollars with which the bonds were bought. In other words, politicians cannot cheat people as easily.

That was just one of the ways that the gold standard cramped politicians’ style – and just one of the reasons they got rid of it. One of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first acts as president was to take the United States off the gold standard in 1933.

But, even with the gold standard gone, the ability of private individuals to buy gold reduces the ability of the government to steal the value of their money by printing more money.

Inflation is a quiet but effective way for the government to transfer resources from the people to itself, without raising

taxes. A hundred dollar bill would buy less in 1998 than a $20 bill would buy in the 1960s. This means that anyone who kept his money in a safe over those years would have lost 80 percent of its value, because no safe can keep your money safe from politicians who control the printing presses.

That is why some people buy gold when they lose confidence in the government’s managing of its money. Usually that is when inflation is either under way or looming on the horizon. When many people start transferring their wealth from dollars into gold, that restricts the ability of politicians to steal from them through inflation.

Even though there is currently very little inflation, purchases of gold have nevertheless skyrocketed. Ordinarily, most gold is bought for producing jewelry or for various industrial purposes, more so than as an investment. But, at times within the past two years, most gold has been bought by investors.

What that suggests is that increasing numbers of people don’t trust this administration’s economic policies, especially its huge and growing deficits, which add

up to a record-breaking national debt.

When a national debt reaches an unsustainable amount, there is always a temptation to pay it off with inflated dollars. There is the same temptation when the Social Security system starts paying out more money to baby boom retirees than it is taking in from current workers.

Whether gold is a good investment for individuals, and whether the gold standard is the right system for a country, are much more complicated questions than can be answered here. But what is clear is that the Obama administration sees people’s freedom to buy and sell gold as something that can limit what the government can do.

Indeed, freedom in general cramps the government’s style. Those on the left may not be against freedom in general.

But, at every turn, they find the freedoms granted by the Constitution of the United States hampering the left’s agenda of imposing their superior wisdom and virtue on the rest of us.

The desire to restrain or control the buying and selling of gold is just one of many signs of the inherent conflict between the freedom of the individual and the left’s attempts to control our lives.

Sneaking a provision on gold purchases and sales into massive legislation that is supposedly about medical care is just one of the many cynical tricks used to circumvent the public’s right to know how they are being governed. The Constitution begins, “We the people” but, to the left, both the people and the Constitution are just things to circumvent in order to carry out their agenda.

Public spirituality amid discontent is not new

BY CHUCK BINO

W

here in our national documents does it state that we have a “right” not to be offended?

First Amendment rights of free speech ought not to be held hostage by the sensitivities of those who feel embarrassed or offended by it. Perhaps the problem is not with our expressive citizens or the Constitution itself, but with legal opportunists representing those who are “offended” by these public expressions of religious belief.

It’s easy to understand how one who keeps his beliefs very personal, or hasn’t the self-confidence to publicly proclaim them except in the comfort of like-minded friends, may feel intimidated by a flamboyant and articulate personality who is willing to share his beliefs in the media. Glenn Beck has studied the works of our

GUEST COLUMN

---

Founding Fathers, believes Christian tenets and is willing to publicly show how they are related. I believe that Kristine Kaiser, in her Oct. 25 piece on Beck, was actually offended by his effective combination of deep religious beliefs with conservative politics at his D.C. “honor rally.” However, it would be OK for her if the exponent were our progressive president. Is she implying that conservatives and libertarians can’t possibly be as inspirational Christians as are liberals and progressives?

In recent times, we’ve had prominent clergy who used mass media to instruct us and invoke the help of God on our behalf. Among these were N.Y. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (on communism), Bishop Desmond Tutu (on apartheid), and the Rev. Mar-

tin Luther King Jr. (on race equality). Their concerns and homilies had both religious implications and far-reaching political ramifications.

Why should we conclude that only the clergy are called to comment on religious truths with political consequences?

If I understand correctly, all of us, not just the clergy, are called to be witnesses to the “Word.” Even the Founding Fathers thought enough to include a “Creator” in their writings. That is not insignificant.

Beck never claims to be a minister, though he is an excellent communicator. As he doesn’t require it, this is not to justify or defend him.

In Matthew 18:20, “When two or more are gathered in my name, there I am among them.” It is likely that Beck is living and sharing his religion as instructed by the Good Book.

It is also likely that today’s

prominent clergy can’t recognize the creeping socialism, dependency on government (a form of slavery?) and willingness to spend this nation to bankruptcy (generational theft.) Where are they today, and how do they stand to instruct their communicants against these evils?

Beck’s distrust of our current administration is shared with the largest and unhappiest majority ever counted.

The evaporation of our individual and state freedoms are not imagined, but coming into being at the hands of a president who Kaiser speculates, infers and hopes to be religious and prayerful. No, Obama has not shared his religious beliefs or humility publicly that any of us can detect. But, why should that change now?

Thank God for Glenn Beck and others like him!

Stuck in the tarmac Proposed merger could hurt chances of getting low-fare carrier at PTIA MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

TRIAD – North Carolina may see minimal, if any, initial gain from Southwest Airlines’ proposed $1.4 billion purchase of AirTran Airways, according to analysts.

However, the merger could puncture any hope of expanding low-fare service at Piedmont Triad International Airport beyond the limited flights to Florida

by Allegiant Air LLC.

The Southwest-AirTran deal, which requires regulatory approval, is expected to close by June 30.

The main attraction of the AirTran deal for Southwest is going headto-head with Delta Air Lines Inc. at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport – the busiest U.S. airport.

Not serving Atlanta has become “a gaping hole in our route system,” Gary Kelly, the chief executive

of Southwest, told The Associated Press.

AirTran has six daily nonstop flights from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport and four from Raleigh-Durham International Airport, where Southwest has a major presence.

Seven of those AirTran flights, including all of the RDU flights, are to Atlanta.

PTI officials have been talking continuously with both airlines, as well as JetBlue, to begin service at the Greensboro airport.

AirTran ended its four daily nonstop flights out of PTI in September 2004, citing a lack of consistent business passengers.

“I would say one of the major outcomes of South-

west taking over AirTran is that it moves PTI from the back burner for those airlines to likely off it,” said Keith Debbage, an aviation analyst and a professor of geography at UNC Greensboro.

“Despite the yeoman’s work by PTI officials, we have struggled to land and keep a healthy lowfare carrier because we have struggled to produce the volume of boardings these carriers want.”

Besides AirTran, other discount carriers that have not made it at PTI in the past 17 years are Skybus Airlines Inc., Shuttle America, Eastwind Airlines, People Express, Continental Lite and Independence

Air. The average low-fare carrier has lasted 18 to 24 months, Debbage said.

Debbage said that a major pickup in business travel is crucial to attracting Southwest given its recent decision focus on that category.

Henry Issacson, the chairman of the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority, said he will talk with the authority’s consultants to determine how to address the potential merger.

“We’re in constant contact with those low-fare carriers, telling them how our economy is doing, what businesses are expanding or opening operations here, like FedEx and Caterpillar,” he said.

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Paige Wainright owns and operates N2DANZN studio in Thomasville.

Love of dance becomes career move for Paige Wainright THOMASVILLE – Many entrepreneurs will leave some things behind and follow their hearts to fulfill their dreams of opening a business.

Paige Wainright did that. Or, in her case, she followed her feet.

Wainright was in her first year of college at High Point University in 2003 when she began working as a dance instructor on the side in Archdale. She was studying to be a kindergarten teacher because she enjoyed working with kids, she said. But the love of dance eventually led her to putting school on hold so she could open her own studio in Thomasville.

“I gave up a lot – the whole college experience and going away to school – to open here,” she said. “It bothers me sometimes that I didn’t finish school, but it’s just one of those things in the back of my mind. I’m focused on this right now.”

Now 25, Wainright

opened the N2DANZN studio in Thomasville when she was just 19 years old. She found a historic building on W. Main Street in downtown Thomasville with hardwood floors (perfect for dance classes), and her family helped her clean up the place.

She continued taking classes at Guilford Technical Community College during her first year of owning the business. But eventually the studio is where she found her calling.

“I’m a big kid at heart, so I decided I couldn’t see myself in a structured classroom,” she said. “I get to be a kid at work every day here.”

Her studio has grown from a handful of students in the beginning to multiple classes every night.

She also does pageant coaching, and some of her students participate in regional, state and national competition teams.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Tobacco maker Star Scientific Inc. hopes there’s fire where there’s no smoke.

The small Virginia company has made itself the test case for a big issue: whether the Food and Drug Administration will allow certain tobacco products — particularly the company’s tobacco lozenges that dissolve in the user’s mouth — to be marketed as less harmful than cigarettes.

The application to market the product as safer also highlights a philosophical debate over how best to control tobacco. One camp says there’s no safe way to use tobacco and pushes for people to quit above all else. Others embrace the idea that lower-risk alternatives like smokeless tobacco or electronic cigarettes can improve public health, if they mean fewer people smoke.

How the FDA handles the products is being closely watched by both the public health community and bigger tobacco companies, which are looking for new products to sell as they face declining cigarette demand due to tax increases, health concerns, smoking bans and social stigma.

A law enacted last year gives the FDA authority to evaluate tobacco products for their health risks and lets the agency approve ones that could be marketed as safer than what’s currently for sale.

So far only Star Scientific has applied for approval to market what the agency calls “modified-risk” products. The company says the small, flavored tablets that dissolve in the user’s mouth contain “below detectable levels” of certain cancer-causing chemicals found in tobacco and its smoke.

Brandon: ‘Desegregate’ GOP, Dems in Legislature Before you read...

----

Meet the Candidates runs each Sunday on page 2C.

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD — Democrat Marcus Brandon is seeking the 60th District seat in the N.C. House of Representatives.

A lifelong resident of Guilford County, he attended both Southern Guilford High School Brandon and North Carolina A&T in Greensboro. While in both high school and college, he served as a leader in various organizations. After college, Brandon left Greensboro for a brief period, serving in the progressive movement at the national level. He worked as national account executive at NGP Software,

the top Democratic campaign software firm in the country, and from there went on to build a career in Democratic politics.

He was involved in planning and directing national fundraising events for Jack Carter, featuring his father, former President Jimmy Carter, and fundraisers and rallies with former President Bill Clinton, former VicePresident Al Gore, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, former Va. Gov. Mark Warner. He recently served as national finance director for presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich during the 2008 Democratic Primary. He is the founder of KMB Consulting, a firm that assists political campaigns and organizations with fundraising and communications.

Q: What steps can legislators take to get the state out of its rut of confronting budget shortfalls before the start of each fiscal year or legislative session?

A: I think the legislators can look at the resources, tools and space already available to help either decrease department budgets, or defer increasing. I think there is a lot of overlap in services. It’s no secret there are a number of programs that simply do not work and need to be eliminated. The state faces a possible $4 billion shortfall next year and we are going to have to make serious choices. Raising taxes during a period like this is always extremely dangerous.

However, there is going to have to be some kind of additional revenue coming. The reality is that because of the economic crisis, there are thousands of more of our constituents that need services, there are thousands more coming to age of retirement. Ignoring this fact is irresponsi-

Wadsworth stresses need for drug education ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

GUILFORD COUNTY – Phil Wadsworth is seeking the office of Guilford County sheriff as a Democrat. His community involvement includes serving with the Pleasant Garden Community Center, Pleasant Garden Elementary School PTA, Southeast M i d d l e School PTA and Southeast High Wadsworth S c h o o l PTSA and Boosters Club. He also has helped raise money for all of these organizations, and also has been active with the Moose Lodge in the southeast area and several other clubs. He currently works as a court security officer for the U.S. Marshal’s Service with Akal Security, where he has been since 2004. Prior to that, up until 2003, he served in the N.C. State Highway Patrol in various capacities since 1975, including line sergeant, traffic safety information officer and a trooper, all in Guilford County. Between 19731974, he served in various posts with the patrol in Durham and Carthage.

He has received exten-

sive training in criminal justice throughout the years, including becoming a certified criminal justice instructor. He is a graduate of Union Pines High School in Cameron and attended Sandhills Community College in Southern Pines. He is a 2007 recipient of the Perley A. Thomas Award from the N.C. Transportation Hall of Fame and has received many awards of excellence and community service awards for his service in his job and community. He has two grown children and is a member of Alamance Presbyterian Church.

Q: What do you see as the most effective ways the sheriff’s office can deter crime?

A: Being in touch with the citizens and letting the citizens know the deputies who are working the community. The deputies need more oneon-one communication with citizens in the area they work. This will help citizens informing on the criminal activity in the area. Drug-related crimes must be more aggressively addressed. We desperately need to get a drug education program back into our schools.

Also, we need a better relationship and communication between the cities and towns in Guilford County.

Q: What type of relationship do you think the sheriff’s office should have with the Board of Commissioners, especially in terms of negotiation for funding and budgets?

A: The sheriff’s office has to have a good relationship, but you must use the public funds respectfully and not waste money. You have to be accountable and exercised caution when using public funds.

Q: Do you agree with the current Guilford County Jail Expansion project?

Why or Why not?

A: Well that’s already a done deal. I think we should have looked into the two prison camps that where vacated by the state. With the socalled 45 percent reduction in crime in Guilford County, I don’t understand why we need such a large jail. I don’t think the county should be the hotel business at the taxpayer’s expense.

Cuba suffers worst coffee harvest in history HAVANA (AP) — Adios, cafe con leche?

Cuba — where superstrong shots of espresso are a way of life — says it had its worst coffee harvest in history last year, with production plummeting to just 5,500 tons nationwide.

And a full-page article in the Communist Party newspaper Granma on Wednesday warned that authorities will no longer fill the shortfall with imports. It said the government cannot afford to spend a projected $40 million this year and $47 million next just to keep islanders in high-octane caffeine.

Cuba was the world’s

top coffee exporter in the 1940s, Granma reported, producing a bean “that was very coveted in discerning markets.”

As recently as the harvest of 1961-1962, Cuba produced 60,000 tons.

The newspaper cited inefficiency and negligence as reasons for the drop in production, but did not go into detail.

Orlando Guevara, a coffee specialist at the Agricultural Ministry, told Granma that Cuba hopes to produce at least 6,700 tons of coffee in the coming harvest that begins in October and lasts about two months. He said Cuba hopes to one day get back

to 1970s’ level of 28,000 to 30,000 tons a year.

As part of an effort to improve coffee production, Cuba recently abandoned the long-held practice of using teams of ill-trained student volunteers to harvest coffee, most of which is grown in the island’s east.

Strong, almost tar-like espresso is most commonly served on the island in thimble-sized shots cut with copious portions of sugar. Cafe con leche is strong espresso combined with a large glass of steamed milk. Though it is famous in Cuba, it is more commonly drunk by Cubans living in the United States or elsewhere.

ble and does not serve the needs of the people of North Carolina.

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

A: I think hospitals and educators do a great job in offering incentives to college students who plan to enter the field by offering to offset college costs in exchange for their services for a term in areas that they need the most. I think it has become a win-win for the community. The state should look at this method, also partnering with other agencies to give people who do not normally have access to jobs or have had early mistakes in their life that normally disqualify them from employ-

ment from private-sector jobs. We have a lot of good people that made mistakes in their early life that are still paying for it five to 10 years later. We need to identify these folks and get them the skills they need to be able to obtain these jobs.

This is not our parents’ generation. Folks don’t stay at jobs for 30 years anymore, so the government needs to adapt its method and move to a system that is more transient, with the times.

Q: What can you do as a legislator to lower the level of partisan rancor and mean-spirited debate that can occur at the Legislature?

A: I am glad you asked this question as I believe the partisan rancor this country has seen over the last two decades is the single-biggest threat to our country. The inability to work together takes away the very premise this country was

founded on — the spirit of debate and the ability to come together to do what’s right for the good of the people. But here is my take — I believe that the Legislature is way too segregated and creates an environment just in its nature of partisan bickering. The Republicans are on one side, and the Democrats are on the other side, each have their own wing in the office buildings, and each have their own caucus. I believe when we integrated the races in schools, neighborhoods and the public in the 1960s, we saw the incredible power of integration.

We all found out that the other is not so bad, we got to know one another as people. I really believe what needs to happen in the legislature is desegregation. As a legislator I would push for house rules that would that allow for members to get to know one another as people.

What job seekers don’t know about branding

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

The job-hunting process depletes a person’s imagination. If you don’t have a brand or your campaign is getting stale, look for a fresh approach to differentiate yourself. The knowledge that employers and recruiters match needs with applicant brands will help inspire you to sharpen what you have to offer in the marketplace.

Lethia Owens of Lethia Owens International Inc., in St. Peters, Mo., stresses that “a brand isn’t what you say it is but what you show people.

Don’t (announce), ‘I’m cuttingedge.’ Demonstrate the abilities and share information that shows you’re credible.”

BRANDING SECRETS

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Lethia Owens explains branding to job hunters and people seeking to advance in companies. Her consultancy, based in St. Peters, Mo., is Lethia Owens International Inc.

The concept of branding is well-known to sales, marketing and HR people, but many job seekers don’t know how to use it in their campaigns.

A brand needs “a compelling story that speaks uniquely to the challenges facing a prospective employer,” observes corporate consultant Joseph McCool of The McCool Group LLC., in Amherst, N.H. “That message has to be wrapped up tightly and conveyed convincingly to stand out.”

How do you identify your brand if it isn’t already clear to you? Janice Ellig, co-CEO of New York City’s retained search firm Chadick Ellig

Inc., shares her secret. “Think about what people have said about you,” she says. “Listening to those who’ve given us feedback and advised us in our current careers tells us a story about our strengths. The strengths become your brand, certainly your selling point, what differentiates you.”

Owens recommends being strategic. This means, in part, selling benefits. It also means, as Ellig suggests, “Don’t try to sell yourself from a position of weakness. Sell yourself from a position of strength.”

‘BRUSH STROKES’ Owens continues with the need to “craft the message with language that paints that picture. Imagine you’re painting a picture using words, those that help build the image of the type of brand identity you want, that you read periodicals, do community-based networking and attend professional organizations related to your industry or field. Mention recent updates of news you’ve discovered. Demonstrate by talking about what interests you and what you’re doing. Brush strokes paint the picture.”

How do employers use branding? Owens conducted behavioral interviews for an IT company hiring people fulltime and on contract. “I was responsible for matching the gifts and talents of employees with opportunities within the organization,” she explains,

“which required evaluating the personal brand and capabilities to assure proper fit.”

She was looking for similarities between what a company needed and a candidate offered and now specializes in brand development as an advancement method for job seekers and people on the job.

Not everyone uses brands in the recruitment process. Not everyone thinks that brands apply. Mike Purcell, vice president of HR at Ambius, a global business interiors company headquartered in Buffalo Grove, Ill., speaks from the perspective of hiring senior managers. “I don’t think people walk in thinking about what their brand is but the kind of organizational culture they’ve come from,” he says. “In my experience, ‘brand’ is not a highly-used word in the interview process. In the general work world, ‘culture’ has universal application. It’s like vanilla. When you throw out ‘culture,’ everyone immediately knows what you’re talking about. Brand and culture right now are not synonymous in my view.”

You have to decide whether you want to think in terms of branding. You can certainly apply the concept of your compelling story as you market yourself, but never mention the word.

AP

North Carolina cornerback Gene Robinson (1) celebrates an interception in the fourth quarter against East Carolina during Saturday’s game in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels pulled away for a 42-17 victory.

Tar Heels race past ECU CHAPEL HILL (AP) – Shaun Draughn needed some time to look like his old self after missing North Carolina’s opener due to an ongoing NCAA investigation.

Da’Norris Searcy, however, didn’t wait to make an impact.

Draughn scored three second-half touchdowns while Searcy returned an interception for a touchdown in his first game back to help the Tar Heels beat East Carolina 42-17 on Saturday, their second straight win after an 0-2 start.

Draughn ran for 137 yards for the still-de-

pleted Tar Heels (2-2), who were without 11 players amid the NCAA review into agentrelated benefits and possible academic misconduct. Johnny White also ran for a careerhigh 140 yards while T.J. Yates threw two TD passes as North Carolina beat its instate rival here for the second straight season.

North Carolina won at Rutgers last week, then dominated after halftime to give the twotime defending Conference USA champion Pirates (2-2) their worst loss since a 48-7 defeat at West Virginia in September 2007.

Draughn had only 14 carries behind White in his first two games. But with White hobbled by an ankle injury, Draughn got 22 carries for 120 yards in the second half as North Carolina pulled away.

“They think they’re better than us, but I feel they’re really not,” ECU running Jon Williams said. “Everybody on this team knows that. We just shot ourselves in the foot.

There was no way they were supposed to win this game. The better team did not win this game.”

Missed tackles haunt Pack

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

RALEIGH – N.C. State linebacker Nate Irving knew where to put the blame for the inability to stop Virginia Tech when it counted on Saturday.

“Just too many missed tackles,” said Irving, who led the Wolfpack with six stops. “It was that just as much as missed assignments.”

The inability to tackle included letting Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor burst loose on a 71-yard run that set up one first-half score, letting David Wilson return the second-half kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown, letting Darren Evans break away for a 54yard touchdown run that included a whiff at the 20 early in the third quarter and the inability to bring down Jarrett Boykin and allowing him to score what proved to be the go-ahead points on a 39-yard catch with 1:27 left in the game.

The missed opportunities were among those that helped the Hokies rally from a 17-point deficit early in the second quarter to defeat the 23rd-ranked Wolfpack 41-30, sending State (4-1, 1-1 ACC) to its first loss of the season.

“We’ve got to be able to play better defense in the second half,” State coach Tom O’Brien said. “We’ve got to get back on the practice field and

make it work.”

Taylor proved to be better than State’s Russell Wilson when it counted in the matchup of quarterbacks who are as dangerous running as throwing.

Taylor scrambled for 147 yards, 12 of them for a first down two plays before the go-ahead score that was the last of his three touchdown strikes.

“I think the difference was their quarterback,” O’Brien said.

State outgained the Hokies 507440, but managed just 208 yards in the second half. Wilson threw for 362 yards and three touchdowns, but needed 21 completions on 49 attempts to do it. He also threw three interceptions, all by Jayron Hosley. One of picks came in the Tech end zone at the end of the first half.

Wilson threw the last one needing to drive the Wolfpack 90 yards for a go-ahead touchdown after Tech went in front.

Hosley returned it to the State 6, setting up a 3-yard touchdown run

by Evans – who finished as the day’s leading rusher with 161 yards.

Tech improved to 3-2, 2-0.

State jumped to a 17-0 lead by scoring on three of its first four possessions: on touchdown passes of 7 and 2 yards by Wilson and a 37-yard field goal by Josh Czajkowski. Tech got on the board on Taylor’s 10-yard toss to Andre Smith, two plays after

Taylor’s 71-yard run to the State 11.

State had two other opportunities to increase the margin, but one drive stalled at the Tech 31 on downs when O’Brien decided that a 50-yard field-goal attempt was out of Czajkowski’s range and another ended on the end zone interception with 50 seconds left before the break.

“We just left a lot of points on the field,” Wolfpack receiver Owen Spencer said.

After going up 17-0, State spent the rest of the half relying on Wilson throwing deep instead of trying shorter passes.

“They were blitzing 85-90 percent of the time,” O”Brien said. “They played a lot of man coverage. Our best bet is take our big guys and go deep.”

Tech went ahead for the first time on Taylor’s pass to Smith with 12:24 left in the game. State regained the lead at 30-28 on Czajkowski’s 42yard field goal after a holding call negated a first down inside the Hokies’ 10.

“Those are situations you work to get to,” O’Brien said of having the lead with four minutes to go. “It comes down to physical and mental toughness, and we weren’t able to make the plays to do it.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3556

BIG PLAYS CARRY MARYLAND OVER DUKE

---

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – Tony Logan scored on an 84-yard punt return in the third quarter to give Maryland its first lead, and the Terrapins held on to beat Duke 21-16 Saturday night.

Maryland (4-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed 9-0 midway in the second quarter and 9-7 at halftime before coming back.

The Terrapins have already doubled their win total of last year, when they went 2-10 and finished with seven straight defeats.

Duke (1-4, 0-2) has lost four straight.

Sophomore Sean Renfree completed 28 of 56 passes for 351 yards and a touchdown, but he was intercepted twice.

Down 21-16, the Blue Devils moved from their own 19 to the Maryland 39 with two minutes left. Facing a fourth-and-15, Renfree threw a pass to Austin Kelly that was tipped away.

HIT AND RUN

---

A

little success goes a long way in West Raleigh.

Even though N.C. State hasn’t won an Atlantic Coast Conference championship in 31 years, last finished second more than a decade ago and is eight years removed from its most recent glory – a record 11-win season – the program’s winning traditions of long ago still drive the Wolfpack faithful to Carter-Finley Stadium, particularly when there is just a whiff of the possibility of contending for the league title.

A 4-0 start fueled the fire on Saturday, helping produce a sell-out crowd of 58,083

(the third largest in stadium history), all but a handful of them wearing red and seeking validation that the Wolfpack program is headed back to winning ways under coach Tom O’Brien.

Virginia Tech burst the bubble, overcoming a 17-point deficit to control most of the fourth quarter and sending State to a 41-30 loss.

The Wolfpack left not entirely deflated.

They more than held their own with the preseason pick to win the ACC championship.

They avoided a blowout loss that would have prompted critics to say the four wins were

mirages, and actually led by two with four minutes to play.

“I thought we’d be 5-0, but 4-1 is not bad either,” State quarterback Russell Wilson said. “We’re still building. We’re still going in a positive direction. It came down to the last minute and we lost.”

Wilson, a miracle worker more than once for the Wolfpack, couldn’t came up with one against the Hokies. State, however, proved solid enough that they shouldn’t need miracles to keep piling up wins this season.

HPU women open league with win ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

CONWAY, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A goal by sophomore Jenny Butler midway through the second half broke a scoreless tie and gave the High Point University womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team a 10 win over Coastal Carolina in the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Big South Conference opener Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important for us to get started in the right direction in our quest to win the Big South regular season,â&#x20AC;? coach Marty Beall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning on the road in the Big South is always difficult, so to come to Coastal Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place and get a 1-0 result is huge for this program.â&#x20AC;?

High Point improved to 3-8-0 overall, while Coastal fell to 4-6-0. High Point continues its road trip Monday with a visit to Charleston Southern at 4 p.m.

Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stalemate was broken in the 58th minute when Butler stole the ball from a Coastal defender at the edge of the offensive third and immediately launched a bending shot from 35 yards out. The ball

dropped in between the crossbar and the goalieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstretched hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels great to have the game-winning goal tonight,â&#x20AC;? Butler said of her first collegiate goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach told us at halftime to keep shooting from the outside, so that is what I was looking to do. Obviously helping to win the first conference game feels unbelievable.â&#x20AC;?

Coastal pushed forward after the HPU goal, but was unable to break through an organized Panther defense. Junior Andrea Ritchie made four saves in the match and snared a dangerous cross with just one minute left in the contest.

HPU MEN DOMINATE HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Junior Karo Okiomah scored two goals and assisted on a Ryan Bennett score as the High Point University menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team beat Richmond 4-1 on Saturday night at Vert Stadium before a recordcrowd of 1,604.

Fejiro Okiomah also scored for HPU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a good positive start with high en-

ergy and enthusiasm and our movement off the ball created our scoring opportunities,â&#x20AC;? said HPU coach Dustin Fonder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re obviously happy with the win, but we were disappointed that we conceded the goal in the second half. We want to shut teams out and we still have some work to do defensively if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be the team we want to be this season.â&#x20AC;?

Karo Okiomah got the Panthers on the board 14:59 into the game when he converted a penalty kick. He had possession in the box with two HPU players on the left side when a defender took him down from behind.

After playing five of their last six games at Vert, HPU hits the road for two Big South contests next week: at Winthrop on Wednesday and at Liberty on Saturday.

Xavier Quick cruises past Lexington’s defense during Andrews’ 20-7 win Friday.

Trick play a treat for TWA

BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – When called at the right time, trick plays can be absolutely brilliant.

Michael Winbush picked the perfect time to dial one up Friday night.

With Andrews leading 7-0 and taking over near midfield after a Lexington turnover late in the first half, the Raiders’ offensive coordinator called for a halfback pass. The entire Jackets’ defense pursued running back Roderick Campbell, who was running wide in what appeared to be a sweep.

But no one in a white jersey noticed Nicholas Robinson trotting all by himself down the sideline. Campbell hit him with a nice pass, and Rob-

inson could have walked in for the score that made it 14-0.

When the call came in from the huddle, Robinson liked what he heard.

“Touchdown,” he thought to himself.

He was right. The 6-foot2 sophomore, who finished Friday’s 20-7 victory with an impressive six catches for 116 yards, established himself as a nice weapon in the Raiders’ arsenal.

He proved to be quarterback Marquez Swinton’s favorite target, and Lexington had extreme trouble covering him.

That was evident on his 32-yard catch that set up Xavier Quick’s 1-yard run in the third quarter that essentially put the game on ice.

But all the others took a backseat to the big strike

that caught Lexington napping.

“It was a great changeof-pace play,” Andrews coach Rodney McKoy said. “You call it, and if it works, great. He called it at the right time. Our offense is getting better.

As long as we can score points early in the game, we play better.”

There was no trickery needed for Andrews’ defense, which held Lexington to 150 yards of total offense. The Raiders recovered three fumbles and intercepted a pass, and only allowed the Jackets on their side of the field twice.

Now at 3-3, Andrews opens PAC-6 2A play with a trip to Atkins on Friday. The Raiders may have another trick up their sleeve for that one.

Cowboys limp into heart of schedule

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Southwest Guilford opened the season with three convincing wins by outscoring its opponents 93-23. Scott Schwarzer’s spread-option offense played nearly to perfection and his defense was flexing its muscle as a well-oiled machine.

Friday night’s 42-17 loss to Northwest Guilford, however, gave a clear indication that things have taken a dramatic turn for the Cowboys. Losses to T.W. Andrews and R.J. Reynolds preceded the latest stumble against the Vikings, and now Southwest finds itself in a precarious position at 3-3 entering the heart of

its conference schedule.

Injuries have mounted and the team was forced to play without key cogs in its system on both sides of the ball. No one was missed more than running back/defensive star Braxton Daye, who injured his shoulder last week in the game against Reynolds and sat out Friday.

His absence left Airyn Willis to shoulder an even larger role in the offense.

While Willis performed admirably, netting 116 rushing yards courtesy of two bursts that went for 48 and 57 yards and led to 10 of Southwest’s points, most of his success came by virtue of him turning negative plays into positive ones.

“I thought we had a good game plan,” Schwar-

zer said. “The problem is that we’re missing some key pieces.”

Without the threat of a consistent ground game, the Cowboys struggled to move the football. More troubling is the fact Willis had to leave the field in the fourth quarter and was unable to return to the field.

Southwest must get healthy in a hurry if it can contend within the Piedmont Triad 4A. Starting next week at Ragsdale, each Friday night from here on out will bring a new daunting challenge.

“We’ve just got to find a way to turn the corner,” Schwarzer said. “We’re playing good football teams from here on out, but we’ve just got to find a way to win.”

GREENSBORO – High Point Christian Academy’s boys and Southwest Guilford’s girls teams placed in the middle of the very large pack attending Saturday’s Hagan-Stone Classic.

The HPCA boys landed 15th out of 27 teams in the boys championship division 5K, Lee-Davis High (Va.) and Cardinal Gibbons each scored 140 points to lead thet field, but Lee-Davis won with a better finish from its sixthplace runner.

The overall winner of the 189-runner championship race was Cody Snyder of Lee-Davis in 15 minutes, 43.5 seconds. Counting times for the Cougars were recorded by David Loy (27th, 17:02.9), Connor Flater (56th, 17:30.4), Will Cliff (83rd, 17:55.6), Austen Zente (146th, 19:28.9) and Davis Pack (156th, 19:53.9).

Southwest’s girls also competed in the championship division. The Cowgirls landed 13th out of 24 teams in a meet won by West Springfield (Va.).

Molly Foster of Science Hill High (Tenn.) was tops among the 176 com-

petitors in a time of 18:29.7. Leaders for Southwest included Caitlin Spinks (43rd, 20:54.5), Kostantina Sarrimanolis (56th, 21:14.1), Adrianna Sarrimanolis (74th, 21:42.9), Carly Misenheimer (115th, 22:57.4) and Allison Kline (116th, 22:59.9).

East Davidson’s boys ran in the Developmental division 5K and placed 16th of 29 teams. Nathan Hatley of West Stokes won the 226-runner division in 17:05.3. Leaders for East were Rodney Wright (14th, 17:43.7), Steven Hicks (81st, 19:20.9), Dillon Hester (86th, 19:24.4), Steven Torres (104th, 19:47.1) and Josh Blair (150th, 20:49.6).

High Point Christian had four girls in the Developmental race, which was won by Radford (Va.) High’s Kaitlin Smith in 20:31.6. For the Cougars, it was Sydney Harris (88th, 25:08), Tess Allison (102nd, 25:51), Courtney Hale (112th, 26:20) and Sara Marsh (138th, 29:55).

HPCA boys who competed in the Developmental race were SuengGi Cha (24:25) and Ryan Rush (27:17).

The Cougars also had Aaron Cliff, Lee Cliff, Ryan Anderson, Parker Hamlett, Alex Stewart, Abby Auman, Jackie Love and Kailey Swaim compete in the middle school races.

Braves fall into tie ATLANTA (AP) – The Braves are running out of chances to send Bobby Cox into retirement with one more playoff appearance.

Vance Worley combined with four relievers on a three-hitter and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the punchless Braves 7-0 Saturday to drop Atlanta into a tie for the NL wild-card spot.

Atlanta’s loss and San Diego’s 4-2 win over San Francisco left the Braves and Padres tied for the wild card with one game left in the regular season.

“We’ve got to suck it up and win a game,” Cox said. “We have to, tomorrow. We need to win and we’ve got the right guy going and we need to bust open with the bats a little bit.

“We’re still breathing, San Diego is still breathing, the Giants are breathing hard. They’ve done what we’ve done, they’ve lost two in a row to the wrong teams. We need to win.”

The Braves’ hopes of advancing to the postseason in Cox’s final season as manager will be on the line against the Phillies today. Atlanta ace Tim Hudson is scheduled to face Cole Hamels.

Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, preparing his rotation for the playoffs, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Hamels will “probably” pitch only two innings. Manuel said Roy Oswalt “will pitch somewhere in the game” behind Hamels.

Manuel has selected Roy Halladay and Oswalt as his first two starters in the best-of-five division series.

The Braves can earn their first post-

season berth since 2005 with a victory Sunday and a Padres loss in San Francisco.

“We’re down to the last game; it’s good to say it means something,” Braves right fielder Jason Heyward said. “We’ve been through a lot this season.”

The game followed a tribute to Cox attended by about 70 former players and coaches – and an Atlanta-record crowd of 54,296. During the ceremony, Cox congratulated Manuel and the Phillies for winning the NL East.

“That was very classy,” Manuel said.

“That was typical of Bobby Cox.” The Braves won 14 straight division titles under Cox from 1991-2005. The Phillies have won four straight with Manuel. The only other NL team to make at least four consecutive postseason appearances was the New York Giants from 1921-24.

The Phillies have outscored the Braves 18-5 in the first two games of the series as Atlanta has squandered its two-game lead over San Diego in the wild-card race. Philadelphia has already clinched home-field advantage throughout the postseason.

“We’re not going to let anyone win,” said Phillies catcher Brian Schneider, who said the Braves “have to take care of their own business.”

Worley, making his second major league start, gave up only a fourth-inning double to Derrek Lee in five innings. He combined with Antonio Bastardo (2-0), Danys Baez, Ryan Madson and Jose Contreras on the shutout.

INDIANAPOLIS – Dante Thomas rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns and Preston Brown ran for 145 yards and a score as Tennessee State beat North Carolina A&T 37-7 in the Circle City Classic on Saturday.

In a game at Lucas Oil Stadium, the Tigers (3-2) broke a four-game losing streak against the Aggies (0-5).

Tennessee State outgained A&T 521-213 and took control of the game in the third quarter.

After a Tigers interception, Thomas ran 23 yards for a touchdown to make the score 24-7. Another Thomas TD, a 1-yarder, gave Tennessee State a 24-point cushion as the quarter ended.

ELON 24, SAMFORD 19 ELON – Scott Riddle threw for 416 yards and three touchdowns as Elon held on to defeat Samford 24-19 on Saturday.

The Phoenix (2-3, 1-1 Southern Conference) jumped to a 17-0 lead, including touchdown passes from Riddle to Kierre Brown for 36 yards and Sean Jeffcoat for 2 yards.

Samford’s Cameron Yaw kicked a career-long 48-yard field goal to

make it 17-3 at halftime, then added a 22-yarder after an Elon fumble to open the second half. Another Phoenix fumble off a Riddle sack set up Kelsey Pope’s 1-yard TD run to make it 17-13 with 7:27 left in the third quarter.

Riddle, who was 36-for-44 passing, responded with his third touchdown pass, a 9-yarder to Andre Labinowicz.

Pope scored on another 1-yard run with 10:34 to go, but the twopoint conversion failed.

Chris Evans had 115 yards on 12 carries for Samford (2-3, 0-2), while Bryce Smith had a careerhigh 17 tackles.

WESTERN CAROLINA 24, THE CITADEL 13 CHARLESTON, S.C. – Brandon Pechloff threw two touchdowns and Western Carolina capitalized on miscues by The Citadel in a 2413 win on Saturday.

The Catamounts (2-3, 1-1 Southern Conference) led 10-0 in the first quarter after a 40-yard field goal by Blake Bostic and an 8yard touchdown pass from Pechloff to Marquel Pittman. The score capped a 3-play, 44-yard drive following a turnover on downs by the Bulldogs as Terrell Dallas was stopped for a 1-yard loss on fourth-

and-1 from The Citadel’s 45.

Pechloff’s second score was 15 yards to Jacoby Mitchell following Josh Crockwell’s fumble recovery on the Catamounts’ 28 on a punt return by The Citadel’s Greg Adams. Western capped the scoring on Adam Hearns 5-yard run with 12:19 remaining, following a Bulldogs’ missed field goal.

Ryan Sellers had field goals of 37 and 36 yards for The Citadel (2-3, 0-2).

CAMPBELL 27, BUTLER 10 INDIANAPOLIS – Rashaun Brown rushed for 91 yards and one touchdown and Campbell beat Butler 27-10 Saturday.

Carl Smith rushed for 78 yards and one touchdown for the Fighting Camels (2-3, 1-1 Pioneer League). Daniel Polk connected with Mike Stryffeler on a 9-yard scoring pass, and C.J. Oates ran for another touchdown.

Polk also contributed to Campbell’s ground game, finishing with 61 rushing yards.

All the Bulldogs’ (2-3, 0-2) points came in the second quarter. Matt Kobli rushed 19 yards to score, and David Lang kicked a field goal.

The Fighting Camels rushed for 270 total yards to Butler’s 187 yards.

Harris, Hurricanes tame Tigers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEMSON, S.C. – Jacory Harris tied a career best with four touchdown passes – three to Leonard Hankerson – and No. 16 Miami opened Atlantic Coast Conference play with a 30-21 victory over Clemson on Saturday.

Harris had all four of his scoring throws in the opening half as the Hurricanes (3-1, 1-0 ACC) took a 27-14 lead. Then they called on the ACC’s top-rated defense to hang on.

Ahead 27-21, cornerback Brandon Harris stopped Andre Ellington on 4th-and-1 from Miami’s 20 with 8:20 to go, ending the Tigers comeback.

The Hurricanes followed with a mistake-free, 68-yard drive that finished with Matt Bosher’s clinching 29-yard field goal.

Clemson (2-2, 0-1) came into the game with the ACC’s fewest turnovers – just two its first three games.

But Miami forced the Tigers

into three fumbles and three interceptions.

Jacory Harris finished 13 of 33 for 205 yards and two interceptions. His touchdown throws matched his personal high set against Duke in 2008.

Hankerson had seven catches for a career high 147 yards.

The past three games these teams played all went to overtime, highly entertaining back-andforth affairs people didn’t want to leave.

Harris and the Hurricanes, though, looked like they had put this one away by halftime after Hankerson’s 7-yard TD catch with 10 seconds left before the break put Miami ahead 27-14.

Former T.W. Andrews star Marcus Gilchrist had an interception for the Tigers. Ellington rushed for 107 yards. Kyle Parker was just 14 of 33 for 149 yards. He was sacked three times.

FLORIDA STATE 34, VIRGINIA 14 CHARLOTTESVILLE,

Va.

– Jermaine Thomas ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns in the first half and Florida State pounded Virginia 34-14 on Saturday.

The Seminoles (4-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) led 27-0 at halftime after outgaining Virginia 294-42. Thomas, who finished with 122 yards on 16 carries, scored on runs of 70 and 10 yards, and Christian Ponder hit Willie Haulstead with a 15-yard touchdown pass.

The Seminoles also sacked Marc Verica three times before halftime, and he missed several open receivers. He was 4 for 15 in the first half, and all four completions were to running backs.

Virginia (2-2, 0-1), which had beaten FCS schools Richmond and VMI and played well in a 17-14 loss at Southern Cal, viewed the game as a chance to see where it stands four games into the Mike London era, and many of the Cavaliers fans left after seeing the answer.

Ponder finished 17 for 29 for 172 yards, and ran 10 times for 17 yards.

Oklahoma, LSU survive upset scares THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Just call it sort’em out Saturday.

With five games matching ranked teams and conference play now in full swing, the first weekend of October was bound to give the national championship race a good shake.

No. 8 Oklahoma cemented its place among the contenders with a 28-20 victory against No. 21 Texas in the Red River Rivalry.

The second straight loss for the Longhorns, who played in the BCS title game last season, not only eliminates Texas from the national title chase, it likely will knock them out of the rankings for the first since he 2000 season.

Meanwhile, No. 12 LSU needed a big dose of good fortune to beat Tennessee 16-14 in Baton Rouge, in one of the wildest finishes of the season.

And No. 19 Michigan needed another huge dose of Denard Robinson to beat Indiana 42-35. The Wolverines’ star quarterback had 494 total yards, accounted for six touchdowns and ran in the gamewinner from 4 yards out with 17 seconds left.

Earlier at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Landry Jones threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns, while DeMarco Murray ran for two scores on hurry-up plays for Oklahoma (5-0, 1-0 Big 12).

The Sooners (5-0, 1-0 Big 12) jumped out to a two-touchdown lead in the first quarter, then got bailed out by a muffed punt late for a second straight week. The Longhorns had scored 10 straight points and were set to get the ball back in the final 62 seconds when Aaron Williams dropped a punt and James Winchester recovered it to let Oklahoma run out the clock.

Two plays earlier, Jared Norton had a chance to give Texas (3-2, 11) the ball inside the Oklahoma 10 but instead knocked Jones’ fumble out of bounds.

The Longhorns lost back-toback games for the first time since 2007, and following a surprising 34-12 loss at home to UCLA last week, are in danger of falling out of the AP Top 25 for the first time in 10 years.

Making his rivalry debut, Garrett Gilbert struggled to get the Longhorns’ offense moving until a late charge against an Oklahoma team that had been outscored 41-10 in the fourth quarter coming in.

Gilbert finished with 265 yards on 27-for-41 passing with no touchdowns.

At Tiger Stadium, LSU squandered what looked like its last chance to pull out a victory, but a Tennessee mistake on the same frantic sequence gave the Tigers one more shot.

LSU (5-0, 3-0 SEC) was confused on third-and-goal from the 1 and allowed the clock to run nearly to zero before a mishandled snap seemingly ended the game and sent Tennessee players streaming onto the field in jubilation.

The celebration was cut short when officials ruled the Volunteers (2-3, 0-2) had 13 defensive players on the field when the ball was snapped. Stevan Ridley then bulled into the end zone from a yard out for the wild win.

(2) OHIO STATE 24, ILLINOIS 13 CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Terrelle Pryor returned after an injury briefly knocked him from the game, then led Ohio State on a clinching touchdown drive in the closing minutes against Illinois.

Pryor ran for 104 yards and was 9 of 16 for 76 yards and two

touchdowns through the air, but he gave Ohio State fans a scare when he needed help off the field early in the third quarter. The star quarterback spent a couple minutes in the locker room before returning to the game.

Illinois (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten) put a scare of its own into the Buckeyes (5-0, 1-0) with under 5 minutes to go when it marched down field, but coach Ron Zook elected to kick a field goal on fourth down that made it 17-13, rather than go for the tying touchdown.

(5) TCU 27, COLORADO STATE 0 FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Ed Wesley scored twice, TCU’s swarming defense forced two fumbles and the Horned Frogs overcame a lethargic start to beat Colorado State.

(10) AUBURN 52, LA-MONROE 3 AUBURN, Ala. – Cam Newton connected with Emory Blake on a school-record 94-yard touchdown pass on his first throw and Auburn went on to rout LouisianaMonroe.

(24) MICH. ST. 34, (11) WISCONSIN 24 EAST LANSING, Mich. – Kirk Cousins lofted a 1-yard touchdown pass to B.J. Cunningham on fourth down with 2:43 remaining, helping Michigan State seal its second straight victory without coach Mark Dantonio.

(19) MICHIGAN 42, INDIANA 35 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Denard Robinson ran 4 yards for a TD with 17 seconds left to give a 42-35 victory at Indiana.

Robinson ran 19 times for 217 yards and two scores, completed 10-of-16 passes for 277 yards and three scores and the game-winning drive was almost all about him.

MOTORSPORTS, NFL THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2010 www.hpe.com

Saints hope to regroup against Panthers NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The New Orleans Saints are trying to bounce back from a loss in which they turned the ball over three times, failed to convert a fourth-and-1, gave up 202 yards rushing and missed a field goal in overtime.

Their 27-24 defeat at the hands of division rival Atlanta exposed several areas in which the defending champions need work. Yet quarterback Drew Brees remains confident that the Saints aren’t far off from looking like an elite team again.

“There’s no soul-searching,” Brees said. “We’re a field goal away from being 3-0. ” As New Orleans (2-1) prepared to host winless Carolina (0-3) today, two glaring weaknesses for the Saints were running the ball and

stopping the run. Through three games, the Saints were dead last in the NFL in rushing, averaging 57.3 yards per game. Their defense ranks 30th out of 32 teams in stopping the run, giving up an average of 145.

Then there’s the kicking game.

Garrett Hartley’s stunning overtime miss from 29 yards was his third missed field goal in seven tries. The Saints don’t want to give up on him, not after his heroics during last season’s playoffs. So coach Sean Payton’s solution was to bring back 46-year-old kicker John Carney as a sort of playercoach. Payton says the two kickers will work together and he’ll decide on Sundays which one will play.

The system worked well for much

of last season, when the Saints carried both Carney and Hartley for 11 games before converting Carney to a kicking consultant.

While the Saints have their share of vulnerabilities, Panthers head coach John Fox doesn’t see this as a particularly good time for his struggling team to be going into the Louisiana Superdome.

Carolina has struggled in a wide range of areas, notably at quarterback after Matt Moore was pulled after two games and replaced last week by rookie and former Notre Dame standout Jimmy Clausen.

Clausen had trouble fumbling snaps – he fumbled three times and lost two of them – and threw an interception in a 20-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fickle Philly fans welcome back McNabb

BY BARRY WILNER AP FOOTBALL WRITER

especially when we play down there in Jacksonville.”

DETROIT (0-3) AT GREEN BAY (2-1) Donovan McNabb can expect some good vibes from the folks in the City of Brotherly Love before his Washington Redskins take on the Eagles today. Once they kick off, though, Michael Vick will be the local hero and McNabb simply another visiting quarterback the fans in the Linc want to see planted into the turf.

McNabb’s outgoing personality, infectious smile and thrilling unpredictability were fine in Philly while he was winning, and he did a lot of winning in his 11 seasons as an Eagle. McNabb was 92-49-1 in the regular season and the Eagles won nine of his 16 playoff games. The problem: None of those postseason victories came in a Super Bowl, and four of the losses were in NFC championship games.

Dealt away – to a division rival, no less – in April, McNabb returns with the Redskins (1-2) on a two-game slide. He’s performed well enough for Washington, but not nearly at the level Vick has played in leading the NFC in passing.

So what does McNabb expect?

“Hopefully cheers,” he says. “You wouldn’t expect me to say I am going to get booed, do you? The past 11 years have been great and thing that is one that you just can’t forget.

“There are a lot of people who truly were accepting of the things that I was able to do and respected me as a person and as a player. I do feel like I was appreciated in Philadelphia.”

McNabb has never been in the visiting locker room at the Linc.

“I am sure it is probably small, congested and probably not clean,” he says. “But, that is what you do to opposing teams.”

The quarterback doing the most to the opposition in this matchup has been Vick.

Vick, who has supplanted Kevin Kolb as McNabb’s successor and has the Eagles (2-1) atop the NFC East, owes plenty to McNabb. When Vick was signed by Philadelphia last year after being reinstated to the league – he missed two years while serving 18 months in federal prison for dogfighting – McNabb was among his staunchest supporters.

“I hope it’s a positive reaction,” Vick says of how the fickle Philly fans will greet McNabb. “I hope it’s a great reaction and maybe a standing ovation. I think that will be great. Donovan sacrificed a lot for this organization and took them to the playoffs plenty of times and made an appearance in the Super Bowl. He put in his work.”

McNabb has his work cut out for him, but not nearly as much as the Washington defense. The Redskins rank last overall, 31st against the pass, and Philadelphia receiver DeSean Jackson is averaging 24.5 yards a catch. Yep, nearly a quarter of the field per reception.

“DeSean (Jackson) has kind of exploded into one of the elite receivers,” McNabb said.

Unfortunately for McNabb, the Redskins don’t have any of those.

Also today, it’s Baltimore at Pittsburgh; Indianapolis at Jacksonville; Carolina at New Orleans; Detroit at Green Bay; Chicago at the New York Giants in a night game; Arizona at San Diego; the New York Jets at Buffalo; San Francisco at Atlanta; Denver at Tennessee; Cincinnati at Cleveland; Houston at Oakland; and Seattle at St. Louis.

On Monday night, Miami hosts New England.

Kansas City (3-0), Tampa Bay (2-1), Dallas (1-2) and Minnesota (1-2) have byes.

BALTIMORE (2-1) AT PITTSBURGH (3-0) Anyone who likes brutal, in-the-trenches football needs to pay attention to this AFC North confrontation. The Steelers’ defense has resembled the best versions of the Steel Curtain, and an unbeaten record before Ben Roethlisberger returns from a four-game suspension is within reach.

But the Ravens can be just as formidable without the ball, and they relish such matchups. Plus, their more-varied offense seems to have awakened. If running back Ray Rice (bruised right knee) can’t go, however, it will put a crimp in that attack.

“It’s a respect thing we have playing against each other,” Ravens star linebacker Ray Lewis says. “It’s a rivalry but, once again, it goes back to the level of respect we have.”

INDIANAPOLIS (2-1) AT JACKSONVILLE (1-2) Here’s an ominous thought: Peyton Manning is off to the best start of his 13-year career, which already includes an unprecedented four MVP awards. For the first time, he has three straight games with at least 300 yards passing AND three TD throws. With the emergence of Austin Collie, Manning’s receiver corps is as deep and versatile as ever, particularly if Pierre Garcon and Anthony Gonzalez get healthy.

Yet Manning takes nothing for granted.

“The last two times we played this team it’s been very close games, it’s gone down to the fourth quarter, a drive here or a play there,” Manning says. “It’s always tough,

Can any team be angrier with itself than the Packers, who set a club record with 18 penalties on Monday night in handing the game to their archrival, the Bears? Don’t look for Green Bay to be so inept or charitable again, but the Packers do need to find a running game. So far, they have gained 759 yards in the air and a paltry 286 on the ground.

Detroit’s sieve-like defense (30th overall, last against the run) could make the Packers a healthy bunch.

CHICAGO (3-0) AT NEW YORK GIANTS (1-2) OK, if the Packers aren’t the angriest team, then it has to be the Giants. They outgained Tennessee by 200 yards and never punted, yet were routed 29-10.

“We are working on our fundamentals,” QB Eli Manning says, “just playing smart and having a great understanding of what the concepts are this week and what Chicago is doing defensively.”

Chicago is doing plenty defensively. The NFC’s only unbeaten team, the Bears are first against the run and, in DE Julius Peppers, have added a game-changer to LBs Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs.

ARIZONA (2-1) AT SAN DIEGO (1-2) Struggling division winners from 2009 who have undergone massive roster shifts and been damaged by them.

The Cardinals are tied atop the NFC West only because Raiders K Sebastian Janikowski uncharacteristically missed a gimme field goal at the end of last Sunday’s game. The visitors miss QB Kurt Warner maybe more than any team misses a departed player, and they will be without WR Steve Breaston this week (knee surgery).

San Diego fell apart on special teams at Seattle and has been spotty at best in two road losses. The Chargers did romp over Jacksonville in their only home game.

NEW YORK JETS (2-1) AT BUFFALO (0-3) At least the Bills didn’t send Trent Edwards over Niagara Falls in a barrel. They did cut the man who began the season as their starting QB – he’s now in Jacksonville – and added to the spiraling sensation in Buffalo.

Ralph Wilson Stadium is not a comfortable place for the Jets, who have looked particularly good on offense the last two weeks as the shackles were removed from second-year quarterback Mark Sanchez. New York is only 4-5 there since the 1999 season, the last time the Bills made the playoffs.

SAN FRANCISCO (0-3) AT ATLANTA (2-1) The Falcons are soaring after their overtime victory in New Orleans. With the Browns up next week, this is a good time to make strides, something their defense must do for Atlanta to be a true championship contender. The offense, especially NFC receiving leader Roddy White and tight end Tony Gonzalez, looks dynamic.

San Francisco looks disorganized and offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye was fired Monday. Preseason favorites for the NFC West crown, the Niners already are desperate.

LOGANO HOLDS OFF BUSCH FOR NATIONWIDE WIN --KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) – Joey Logano held off teammate Kyle Busch on two late restarts to win the Nationwide Series race at Kansas Speedway.

Logano got past Busch on a restart with six laps remaining in Saturday’s race, but a crash by Aric Almirola brought out a caution flag a lap later.

Logano knew holding Busch off on the final restart would be difficult, but a huge push from points leader Brad Keselowski gave him the run he needed to break free of Busch.

It was the second Nationwide win of the season for Logano and 16th of the season for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Keselowski finished second and Busch faded to third. Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. rounded out the top five.

Kansas could be critical in championship Chase KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) – There’s a ton of racing left to decide this season’s NASCAR champion, and a bad day at Kansas Speedway shouldn’t cripple a driver’s chances.

But statistics show that today’s race, the third of 10 in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, could be the most critical. The eventual champion left Kansas ranked either first or second in the standings in five of the first six Chases, and the champion has only finished outside the top-10 at Kansas once.

So it made sense that the 12 title contenders all approached the Chase with a wary eye on the 1.5-mile oval.

“I said it from the beginning of the Chase – this is the one where I feel like we’ve got to make our most,” said Kyle Busch, who goes into today’s race ranked third in the standings.

“We need to come out of here with a solid top10, just to keep us in the hunt and not lose too much ground to the guys in front of us or have the guys behind us gain too much ground.”

Four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson is the only driver in the history of the Chase to have an off day at Kansas and still hoist the Sprint Cup at the end of the year. It came in 2006, when he finished 14th but went on to his first championship. He’s the only

driver to win a championship despite not scoring a top-10 finish at Kansas.

Off to a slow Chase start that season, Johnson left Kansas ranked eighth in the standings, 165 points out of the lead. In every other season, the champion was ranked at least first or second after Kansas.

Because four of the remaining six races are on intermediate tracks with similarities to Kansas, Johnson believes a strong run Sunday could tighten up the Chase standings.

As it is, seven drivers are within 83 points of leader Denny Hamlin.

And though many consider Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth and Clint Bowyer already out of the running, Johnson hasn’t ruled out those drivers using Kansas as a springboard back into contention.

“Someone can have a big race this weekend and be right back in the middle of it, on top of the fact that there are a lot of cars very close in points,” Johnson said.

Defending race winner Stewart hasn’t had a great weekend, slogging through Friday’s practice session, bouncing back to qualify 14th, then ending Saturday’s final session 22nd on the speed chart.

Stewart is 10th in the standings, 162 points behind Hamlin. “I just have made mistakes the last two weeks that have cost us,” Stewart said.

CASH FOR GOLD

DENVER (1-2) AT TENNESSEE (2-1) It took the Titans until Nov. 8 to win their second game a year ago. They were somewhat gifted No. 2 by the Giants last weekend, but they got RB Chris Johnson back on track. The Titans’ secondary will be challenged by the top passing attack, yardage-wise, in the league.

CINCINNATI (2-1) AT CLEVELAND (0-3) Another defeat, close or otherwise, might send the Mangini countdown into orbit. Browns coach Eric Mangini says he sees progress, but if Cleveland doesn’t get some Ws to go along with it, he soon could be watching future progress from elsewhere.

Cincinnati likes nothing better than Ohio Rivalry wins, dating back to the days Paul Brown founded the Bengals years after being fired by the Browns.

HOUSTON (2-1) AT OAKLAND (1-2) Were the Texans exposed by Dallas last week, or was it just too big a stage for a developing team? A misstep in the Black Hole would bring out all the doubters.

The Raiders still can’t believe they lost at Arizona and a win keeps them viable in the AFC West with division games upcoming in three of the next five weeks.

SEATTLE (2-1) AT ST. LOUIS (1-2) After grabbing their first win of the season – it took St. Louis until Nov. 1 to manage a victory in 2009 – the Rams probably will need Steven Jackson in the lineup to have a shot at two in a row. The standout running back is day to day with a groin strain for which he received acupuncture treatments.

Seattle will have Leon Washington in the lineup, which means the Rams should not kick to him. Ever.

NL Playoff Scenarios Three teams, two NL playoff spots open, one day left in the regular season. A look at the NL West and wild-card scenarios as the San Francisco Giants (91-69), San Diego Padres (90-71) and Atlanta Braves (90-71) head into Sunday’s games: —If the Giants beat the Padres on Sunday, San Francisco is the NL West champion. If the Giants win and Atlanta beats Philadelphia, the Braves win the wild card.

—If the Giants win and the Braves lose, San Diego and Atlanta tie for the wild card. There would be a one-game tiebreaker Monday in Atlanta for the wild card.

—If the Padres win and the Braves lose, San Diego wins the NL West and San Francisco gets the wild card. The Braves would be eliminated. The Padres get the division title because they won the season series against the Giants.

—If the Padres win and the Braves win, San Diego, San Francisco and Atlanta all finish 91-71. The Giants and Padres would play a one-game tiebreaker for the NL West title Monday night in San Diego. The loser would then go to Atlanta for a one-game playoff for the wild card on Tuesday night (the Braves would host either the Padres or Giants because Atlanta won the season series against both teams).

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Lee Pulliam continued his meteoric journey in racing Saturday afternoon by winning the pole for today’s Virginia is for Racing Lovers 300 at Martinsville Speedway.

Four years ago Pulliam had never sat in a race car, but he wanted to be a racer. He fast-tracked his way through high school so he could finish a year early and go to work to save enough money to buy an entry-level racecar.

Saturday, the 22-year-old driver from Semora topped 84 other drivers, including three former national champions and several higher divisiondrivers to start up front for the biggest, most prestigious Late Model Stock Car race in the country.

Pulliam won five times this season at South Boston Speedway in just hissecond year in Late Model competition. He had the fastest car in two opentest sessions at Martinsville over the past two weeks, and admitted because of that there was pressure headed into today’s time trials.

He came through with flying colors, though. He turned in a lap of 20.272 seconds (93.410 mph) around the .526-mile oval to edge three-time NASCAR Whelen All-American Series champion Philip Morris. Morris, who won this event in 2000, had a lap of 20.310 seconds (93.235 mph).

Brandon McReynolds of Mooresville, who finished second in this racelast year, qualified third, followed by Ryan Robertson of WinstonSalem and Mike Looney of Catawba.

Only the top 22 positions were decided in time trials Saturday. The remainder of the 42car field will be decided in four 25-lap heat races that begin at 12:30 p.m. today.

Fan gates open at 9 a.m. today.

Tickets are $20 for adults with children 12 and under admitted free. Tickets may be purchased by calling 877.RACE.TIX or by visiting www.martinsvillespeedway.com.

Fun, not feuds, found along Hatfield McCoy Trail

I

know most folks who read this column think I do nothing but hunt, fish, shoot and play with my dog. That is simply not true. There are lots of other things I really enjoy and some of them even happen indoors. A few weeks ago, Cherie and I were going through West Virginia and decided we should go on a diversion trip.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m constantly encouraging folks to break up a business trip with something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun and even though we were on a fun business trip, I decided we needed a little more fun. I had always wanted to ride the Hatfield McCoy ATV trail and our route was bringing us within a few miles of the Big Coal section of the statewide SPORTS network of trails that makes up the Hatfield McCoy. Dick We hooked up with Lela Hicks and Jones made arrangements to ride on a Friâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; day afternoon. We met up with Mike Pinkerton, the marketing director, for the trail system at Little Coal on the Little Coal River. Mike led us and a family group all over the mountains for the next few hours. The Coal River location is known for having more of the less difficult trails.

This allowed us 34 miles of trail that was easy to traverse with the Kawasaki side by side we were using.

We spent about four hours riding through the woods and swapping driver and photographer duties with a small group of other riders. The Kawasaki was comfortable and fun and capable of conquering any part of the trail we tackled. We ran it in high range and two-wheel drive 95 percent of the time, only needing to drop down to four-wheel drive low range for the very worst sections.

Of course, there were more trails available that were more difficult but these are likely to require a winch if traveled with a side-by-side. All the trails are rated for difficulty with colors with green being easiest and orange being a single track for motorcycles and mountain bikes. The trails are also marked

ABOUT HATFIELD MCCOY

â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

Hatfield McCoy is a Statutory Corporation they maintain and market the trail system to spur economic development in the area. The Hatfield McCoy organization handles liability for the owners and law enforcement. The rangers are sworn officers. The rental companies, restaurants, and lodging are all private businesses that can advertise with the trail system.

Over 50 businesses have been formed around the trail system.

The end result is that the system brings in more money than it costs the state and it creates hundreds of jobs. The corporation sells about 30,000 permits per year with an annual permit costing $50. The permit goes on the riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helmet so rangers can tell if unauthorized riders are using the trail at a glance.

For more information: Hatfield McCoy Trail System, 800-592-2217 or trailsheaven.com with numbers for navigation at each intersection.

For instance, the trail might be marked green 38: this would mean the trail would be of minimum difficulty and you could look at the map and determine where you were based on looking at trail 38 and the trail number at the next intersection. The map is available at the trail head and is easy to read.

The green sections are the easiest and could be traversed with a golf cart with added ground clearance or a small four wheel drive truck. The black trails are the toughest two track trails and require four wheel drive ATV or motorcycles with steep climbs and drops and a need for high ground clearance. Along all the trails, there are mud holes and hills to challenge those with an adventurous spirit.

The trails are scenic with small stream crossings, mountain views, and sections that parallel the river. While some ATV locations have one way trails, the Hatfield McCoy trails are all two-way.

The reasoning is that if you know you could meet someone, you are more likely to be aware and be more careful. Of course, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more to the

RYDER CUP AT A GLANCE Europe eyes big --NEWPORT, Wales (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A look at Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryder Cup comeback play in the Ryder Cup at the 7,378-yard, par-71 NEWPORT, Wales (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The United States has the lead. Europe has the momentum.

Chalk it up to a wacky day like no other at the Ryder Cup. Going from sunrise to sundown, 24 players managed to grind through an odd mix Saturday: finishing fourball matches, playing entire alternate-shot matches, then getting started on an odd session that included both kinds of matches.

When play was called because of darkness, the U.S. had a 6-4 lead. But Europe was ahead in all six matches that got started late in the afternoon, marked by blue on the scoreboard and giving the home team an undeniable surge of confidence going into another marathon today.

Lee Westwood and Luke Donald were an astonishing 4 up through nine holes on Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that after the Americans won their first two matches.

Is your hearing current?

889.9977SP00504752

Twenty Ten course at Celtic Manor: Leading: U.S. ahead 6-4 in completed matches, but six matches were suspended for darkness and Europe leads all of them.

Stars: Lee Westwood posted the first point for Europe, while Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker won their first two matches. Westwood and Luke Donald were 4-up after nine holes against Woods and Stricker in a match that will be finished today.

Faltering star: Phil Mickelson lost both matches in pairings with Dustin Johnson, and was trailing in his final match with partner Rickie Fowler after five holes.

Cramming them in: Some players were involved in three different matches on a long day of golf as officials tried to make up for weather delays.

Finishing today: The plan is to finish today, but any further delays could mean the Ryder Cup will be decided on Monday.

Forecast: Chance of rain 80 percent today, at times heavy.

Key stat: Corey Pavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picks are 4-0-2, while the European picks of Colin Montgomerie are 3-2.

Hatfield McCoy system than ATV riding. There are other attractions at the different locations including dining, lodging, water parks, and outdoor theaters.

The closest trail on the Triad is Indian Ridge. The trail head for this system is less than a three-hour drive. The Indian Ridge system also connects to the Pinnacle system via a new connector trail that opened on September 16. Together, the two trails represent a 130-mile trail system with numerous towns, lodging opportunities, fueling locations, stores and restaurants.

Obviously, this is a great time of year for a trail ride and next week is going to be even better with Trail Fest, an annual celebration of the trail system running from October 7 to 11 in Gilbert, W. Va. Trail Fest will include drag and mud-pit racing, a costume parade, fireworks displays, exhibitors, and a casino night. There will also be a poker run and demo rides on all brands of ATVs. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really remarkable is that many of the towns on the Hatfield McCoy system have adapted ATV friendly ordinances that allow riders to ride their unlicensed ATVs on public streets to access the town. This means you can come off the trail and follow the road into town to eat lunch, gas up or spend the night.

No matter which of the six trail locations you chose and whether you go for the fun of riding or the scenery, the Hatfield McCoy trail is a great way to spend the day or the weekend. If you have an ATV or want to try it out by renting or going on a guided ride, this is a great outdoor adventure and now is the time to do it.

Couples leads Ensure Classic CONOVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fred Couples shot a 6-under 66 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Bernhard Langer into the final round of the Ensure Classic.

Couples was at 12-under 132 after the second round of the Champions Tour event at the Rock Barn Golf and Spa. Couples, gunning for his fourth win of the season but first since winning in the Dominican Republic on March 28, had

nine birdies in overcoming a bogey and double-bogey on the par-4 13th. His lead over Langer could have been greater, but he missed a 20-foot putt for eagle by 18 inches on No. 18.

Langer, who had a 67, is pursuing his sixth win this season on the 50and-over circuit and leads Couples by 672 points in the Charles Schwab Cup standings.

Mythical world of Andy Taylor, Barney Fife and other popular characters still matters to loyal fans of TV show

BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

F

ifty years ago today – on Oct. 3, 1960, – television introduced us to the mythical world of Mayberry, N.C., and its improbable cast of lovable characters.

There was Andy Taylor, the folksy sheriff without a gun.

There was Andy’s inept, comically animated deputy, Barney Fife. (Who says there was no crime in Mayberry? Barney stole the show every week.)

There was Otis, the town drunk. Floyd, the addled barber. The mischievous mountain man, Ernest T. Bass. Aunt Bee and Opie.

Goober and Gomer. Helen and Thelma Lou. Briscoe Darling and his backward mountain family.

That popular sitcom, “The Andy Griffith Show” – which aired from 1960 to 1968 – was a ratings success, never placing lower than seventh in the Nielsen ratings and ending its final season on top.

But half a century later – with most of the show’s stars dead and buried – does “The Andy Griffith Show” still have a fan base? Is the show, with its homespun humor and oldfashioned values, even relevant today? Does anybody care?

Well, let’s put it this way: Does Barney Fife carry a bullet in his pocket?

Yes, Mayberry still matters.

When the High Point Enterprise asked readers to tell us about their devotion to “The Andy Griffith Show,” we got some great stories.

We heard from Grace Terrell – the president and chief executive officer of Corner-

stone Health Care – who wrote a lengthy essay about Mayberry values and how those same values existed in Siler City, where Terrell grew up, and how those values still can be found today in High Point.

Oh yeah, and she told us about her pet cockatiels, Bob and Elmo, who can whistle the well-known theme song from “The Andy Griffith Show.”

We heard from Stephen Hoskins of High Point, whose collection of Mayberry memorabilia includes autographs of more than a dozen actors who appeared on the show, including Don Knotts and Andy Griffith (on a canceled 1977 check made out to his wife at the time, Solica).

We heard from the family of Neil Watkins of Thomasville, an otherwise congenial grandfather who refuses to let his grandchildren watch their TV shows when it’s time for him to watch “Andy Griffith.”

We heard from Craig Grimmett of Archdale, who knows the show’s dialogue so well that he has an annoying habit – so says his wife – of blurting out a character’s lines before the character says them. He also spent the night in the Mount Airy house that Griffith grew up in, courtesy of his family members who recognize what a Mayberry junkie he is.

We heard from Robert Murphey, the youth minister at Oak View Baptist Church in High Point – and a longtime student of “The Andy Griffith Show” – who uses clips from the show to illustrate Christian principles to his youth group.

And we heard from Don Teague of High

MAYBERRY, 3E

MAYBERRY MEMORIES

–

Following are some other highlights from “The Andy Griffith Show” fans who contacted the Enterprise: • Shirley Walker of Archdale says she has a photo of her great-grandmother and Andy Griffith’s mother, who were sisters.

• Stephen Hoskins of High Point hasn’t missed Mount Airy’s annual Mayberry Days festival since he started going in 2001.

• Beverly Key of Trinity threw a Mayberry-themed party when her son, David, graduated from trooper school. David had been a fan of the show and always said he wanted to be sheriff of a town like Mayberry. The party included a character look-alike contest, games with Mayberry memorabilia as prizes, a pickle contest, a mock fishin’ hole, an Ernest T. Bass singing contest (singing “Old Aunt Mariah”), and a Carter vs. Wakefield family feud, among other activities. For more details about the party, visit Key’s web page at http://devotions.homestead.com/Activities_Mayberry_ Party.html.

• Youth minister Robert Murphey of Oak View Baptist Church takes his youth group to Mount Airy every year, where they visit such Mayberry landmarks as Floyd’s Barber Shop and The Snappy Lunch.

• Grace Terrell of High Point wrote, “I am indeed a hardcore Mayberry fan, but not because I believe that its mythical world was ever a reality, but because the beautiful values illustrated in its stories ARE real, and something that we can all aspire to make our lives about.”

Tragic end to one life renews three others D

ear Abby: My dad was on the kidney transplant list for almost four years. Last week, he received a call that there was a kidney for him. As I sat in the waiting room during his transplant surgery, I became aware that two other families were in the same situation.

One’s relative was also getting a kidney transplant, the other a liver.

As we talked, it became apparent that every transplant surgery that evening was from the same donor.

I can’t help but think of the family who lost this young man, who helped to save the lives of three people while grieving their loss. I would like

to extend my deepest gratitude to that family and to all the families who have ADVICE donated the organs Dear of their Abby loved ones.

■■■ Because of one person, my father and two other dads got a new lease on life. My plea is for people to mark the back of their driver’s license to indicate their willingness to become an organ donor. Also let your families know that you want your organs donated if, God forbid, anything were to ever

happen. It will make the decision for them much easier.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to speak out and perhaps save someone’s life the way someone saved my dad, whom I love very much. – Grateful Daughter in Owensboro, Ky.

generosity can make the difference between life and death for someone.

For more information about organ donation, contact the National Kidney Foundation at Box DA, 30 E. 33rd St., New York, NY 10016, call tollfree (800) 622-9010 or log onto www.kidney.org.

Dear Daughter: Your letter touched my heart.

I hope it will remind everyone what a precious gift each of us can give if we wish.

Readers, I encourage all of you to discuss the subject of organ donation with your families. Let them know you would like to give the “gift of life” and ensure that a part of you lives on. Your

Dear Abby: My girlfriend has asked me to be her maid of honor. Of course I agreed, but my husband doesn’t want me to for a couple of reasons. First, he says I shouldn’t be a maid of honor because I am married. Second, he’s uncomfortable about my walking down the aisle with another man (the best man) and be-

Sunday, October 3, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, 26; Eric von Detten, 28; India.Arie, 35; Neve Campbell, 37 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You see, you do, you transform, you get ahead. It’s simple, so stop making things so complex. Now is not the time to be withdrawing or letting someone upset your plans. If a partnership or old friendship is wearing thin, make it work or move on. Be strong, implement your plans and follow through. Your numbers are 2, 10, 12, 26, 28, 33, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Have fun but play it safe when it comes to love. Jealousy is likely to flare up if you flirt and can lead to relationship situations that can affect your future. There is no halfway when it comes to love. ★★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stick to the truth and don’t bend the rules. As long as you are open and honest, you will not face opposition but trying to get away with something will backfire. Emotional issues that concern children or a partner can be expected. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Love, coupled with entertainment, should be on your agenda. A little pampering will go a long way. Some interesting changes at home will add to your comfort, enjoyment and ease when it comes to getting chores done. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t count on getting any help and you won’t be disappointed. There will be plenty to talk about but conversations will lead to disagreements. Actions will pave the way to a better relationship with someone you love. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get out of the house and engage in activities that allow you to explore new avenues and learn new skills. Taking on a disgruntled partner or someone you reside with will be a waste of time and energy. Preparation should be your goal. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone will try to take advantage of you.

Don’t be swayed by compliments or emotional tactics. If you don’t want to do something, say so. Put your time and energy into home, family

and personal improvements. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your hard work and dedication to a cause will pay off and bring you opportunities that you cannot turn down.

Don’t let someone’s jealousy stop you from fully enjoying what’s being offered. A talent you have can be turned into a profitable service. ★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll be feeling pressured and anxious about what’s going on in your life, personally and professionally. Prepare for every possible outcome so you don’t leave anything to chance. Don’t neglect someone you love. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Strive for attention and show everyone what you have to offer.

The ease at which you present your talent and deal with the people you meet will impress someone who can use your type of savvy approach. Travel may be necessary. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may have to work long hours.

Not everyone will be happy with your choices and demands will be put on you if you fall short when it comes to the expectations of friends and family.

I want to be there for my friend, but I don’t want to create tension between my husband and me. He has made it clear that if I choose to be in this wedding he won’t attend as a guest.

The wedding is scheduled for a year from now, and I don’t want to be stressing about this until next September.

What should I do? – Torn Between My Friend And My Husband

the reception while he sat in “Siberia,” I would understand. However, his idea that a married woman cannot be a maid of honor is incorrect, and his objection that there’s something wrong with your walking down the aisle or being photographed with the best man is ridiculous. So tell your husband (sweetly) that he’ll be missed at the wedding, and if he’s more comfortable not attending it’s OK with you.

Dear Torn: It appears you have married a man who is insecure and controlling. If he had said he’d be uncomfortable if you were seated with the bridal party at

Pets comfort master during time of illness

ear Dr. Fox: I’ve had numerous animals all my life. At one time, I had three cats, eight kittens, four hamsters, two dogs, a tank of fish and a canary.

A while back, I came home from the doctor with an ear infection.

After I got home, my cats and I went to bed with one cat on either side of me and one at the top of the bed. They kept rotating and softly purring until I was completely relaxed. I felt so much better.

Another time, my dogs Chubby and Bear stayed next to me all night long after I came home from a surgery. They wouldn’t let anyone near me, except for my uncle and son, who were taking care of me. The dogs could sense when I wanted to get up and out of the recliner and would get help. Chubby and Bear also were caregivers when my uncle was dying of cancer. They would take turns alerting me when he would wake up. – J.H., Park Hills, Mo. Dear J.H.: Thanks for the vivid descriptions of your cat and dog attendant “nurses.” It is remarkable how attuned animal companions can be to the suffering of their human family members.

Several readers have shared similar experiences in their letters about their caregiver dogs and cats that leave no doubt about animals’ ability to empathize and express loving concern, even facilitating the comfort and recovery of their loved ones. Our body language

tells them we are suffering, as well as our tone of voice, our crying and possibly even the changes in our body odor and normal routines.

Dear Dr. Fox: I have a 3-yearold golden retriever. She is shy, sweet and submissive and gets along with all dogs and people. She has always had car phobia (vomits, drools, etc.) unless someone is sitting with her.

My current problem is that she has started throwing up, retching, and acting frantic. This began a couple of months ago and occurs about every seven to 10 days.

Other than this, her personality is the same; eating habits and bathroom are fine as well. These episodes usually happen in the middle of the night when she wakes up or is startled, after drinking water or playing rough with a toy. I can often calm her down if she is dry heaving by taking her for a walk outside. When this first started, we did an X-ray and blood work and nothing abnormal was found.

We have switched her to Hill’s Science Diet Adult Sensitive Stomach, twice daily. We also give her 15 mg of Pepcid AC twice a day and limit her water at mealtime. Her

vomiting/retching has improved somewhat but still occurs every few weeks. At times, she also has a runny nose. Do you have any suggestions for this otherwise happy and healthy dog? –S.D., Oakton, Va. Dear S.D.: Your dog’s symptoms are relatively nonspecific at this stage and could get worse, with actual epileptic seizures developing or more serious gastrointestinal or hepatic (liver) problems.

Sudden arousal and fear/anxiety seem to be trigger factors. I would begin with transitioning to a canned or raw, dairy-, corn-, soy- and wheat-free dog food. Or use the recipe at my website. In addition, give the dog 1 teaspoon of finely chopped ginger (from fresh root) in her food, which has many beneficial effects, including anti-nausea. Also add the supplement tryptophan (500 mg daily). This can have a calming effect.

Calming herbs like valerian, hops and chamomile tea may also help. PetzLife calming support for pets, called -Eaze, comes in a gel and contains L-theanine, chamomile and other beneficial ingredients that may prove effective for your dog’s condition. Lavender oil is wonderfully calming, and two or three drops on a strip of cotton around your dog’s neck may help calm her down, especially during car rides, along with a piece of ginger given 30 minutes before the ride.

Some dogs relish crystallized ginger, which works well as a stomach-calmer.

Old San Juan makes good destination, not just a side trip SOFIA MANNOS ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

S

AN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Old San Juan echoes with centuries of history, dating back to the arrival of Christopher Columbus on the island in 1493 and the massive 16th-century Spanish forts overlooking the sea.

Today the neighborhood’s cobblestone streets pulsate with salsa music and beckon guests with a walkable, chaotic montage of restaurants, shops and clubs amid the Old World architecture. A visit to Old San Juan can be more than just an afternoon’s diversion; it’s worth considering this extraordinary enclave as a base for your vacation, and as an alternative to a beach resort.

You can walk from one end of Old San Juan to the other in about 15 minutes, passing buildings in every pastel hue imaginable. Make your way to Calle Tetuan and you’ll see a house reputed to be among the world’s narrowest at about 5 feet wide. Vines with neon-tinged blooms climb over balconies; trees explode in brilliant colors, and from some spots, you can see the turquoise sea.

Accommodations are plentiful and some hotels, including the renowned El Convento, are historic and unmistakably Spanish in style and ambiance. The El Convento site housed a Carmelite convent in the 17th century; it opened as a hotel in 1962, hosting celebrities like Rita Hayworth. At night in the Moorish-inspired courtyards, you’ll hear the famous coqui, a native frog whose big whistle contrasts to its tiny body. The sound is two syllables, in a delightful echo of its name. On Sundays, you’ll see weddings across the street at the historic San Juan Cathedral. In peak winter season, nightly rates at El Convento run $280-$400 (cheaper in the fall). Less expensive lodging options include Hotel Milano and Casa Blanca Hotel ($100-

$200 nightly in winter).

Start your day in Old San Juan with a stroll early in the morning and have breakfast at the hip Aromas high-tech coffee bar, or Manolin, which has been around for over 60 years and has a retro vibe.

Manolin has tables in the back and speckled green counters up front with green vinyl swivel stools. Servers sport crisp white shirts monogrammed with “Manolin Old San Juan” and dark trousers.

A full breakfast costs less than $4. Another option is to walk over to the main square, the Plaza de Armas, and have a cafe con leche (coffee with steamed milk) and a mallorca, a sweet roll with powdered sugar. Don’t miss the ubiquitous Puerto Rican pastry known as quesito, a tubeshaped puff pastry filled with sweet cheese.

The area has a wide array of restaurants but it can be challenging to find one that serves more than mediocre tourist fare. Try Toro Salao, 367 Calle Tetuan, a Spanish-Puerto Rican fusion restaurant with (rare) outdoor seating on a plaza at the southern edge of the old city. Melao is somewhat out of the way along the waterfront near the southern entrance to the old city, Calle del Muelle 100, but is also very good and has outdoor seating.

Verde Mesa, 216 Calle Tetuan, a tiny vegetarian restaurant, only serves lunch but is known for fantastic fruit shakes — no small feat in a place where shakes, known as batidas, are a staple. The French restaurant Trois Cent Onze (its French name translates to the numbers in its address, 311 Calle Fortaleza), is expensive but good.

After 10 p.m., the clubs begin to swing. Some places offer an hour’s free lesson before the dance floor opens to the general public. The Latin Roots at the port has a live band that plays Latin standards, along with some of the newer salsa hits. The Nuyorican Cafe in the heart of Old San Juan

Did pancreas problem cause diabetes?

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My husband was diagnosed with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas in 2009. He is 79.

In 2004 he was diagnosed as a borderline diabetic, but the condition was controlled with diet. This past spring, his blood sugar was elevated as much as 200 points above normal. He was put on two oral diabetic medicines. His blood sugar continued to climb, so he was given a higher dose and then different medicine. Does the IPMN of the pancreas cause this? He is not taking any medicine for the pancreas but does have scans to see if there have been any changes. – J.F. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas is a precancerous condition whose progression to cancer most often

is quite slow, taking 15 to 20 years.

The pancreas is the organ that HEALTH produces insulin.

Dr. Paul Your husDonohue band’s ■■■ diabetes developed before the pancreatic mass showed – at least, his prediabetes did. That suggests the two conditions aren’t related. Even if they are, his blood sugar can be controlled with increasing doses of oral medicines, a change of oral medicines or the addition of insulin to his program.

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

Traditional carnival revelers called “Vegigantes” join the crowd during the annual street festival of Calle San Sebastian in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Old San Juan echoes with centuries of history, dating back to the island’s discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and the massive 16th-century Spanish forts overlooking the sea. has jazz or fusion earlier in the evening, then switches to salsa. Other clubs offer rock and flamenco.

Although Puerto Rico’s reputation for crime is not undeserved, with more than 890 people killed last year in the island’s third-worst year for homicides, the tourist thoroughfares of Old San Juan feel relatively safe. Police are stationed on nearly every corner around the clock. Still, the community has been hit hard by the recession and many businesses are shuttered. You will see “se vende,” for sale, on nearly every street.

As a U.S. commonwealth, Puerto Rico is an especially

easy destination for Americans to navigate. The currency is the U.S. dollar; if you are a U.S. citizen you don’t need a passport to visit, and many people speak English, though this is a great place to practice your Spanish. Be aware that the Puerto Rican accent is unusual in the Spanish-speaking world, so don’t be surprised, even if you are a Spanish speaker, if the jargon and pronunciation sound different.

Getting around is easy, too.

Old San Juan has free trolleys, including a route that goes to the famous El Morro complex of forts. The monuments are operated by the U.S. National

Park Service as the San Juan National Historic Site; last year they attracted over a million visitors. They also comprise a UNESCO World Heritage site, designated as a classic example of European military architecture in the New World. The fortifications were built by Spain on a strategic headland to protect the city, bay and Spanish trade routes from attack by European rivals. Exploring the buildings, ramparts and grounds, with their stairways, arches, tunnels, dungeons and spectacular views, makes a wonderful day’s outing.

Kite-flying on the grounds is a popular pastime.

MAYBERRY

Local fans express devotion for show FROM PAGE 1E

Point, whose love for and devotion to the show are so contagious that he converted his wife Maria – a Puerto Rican woman whose cultural background was nothing like that of Mayberry – to become pretty much just as big a fan as he is. “‘Andy’ is a family affair for us,” says Teague.

“My daughter (Emily, age 16) doesn’t watch religiously, but she understands it – she was born into the tradition.

It’s like going to church – you do not mock ‘Andy’ and what it stands for. It is sacred – his message is sacred – in this family.”

Teague became a fan of the show in the mid1980s as a college student and grew to love it even more when he discovered a book about the show by author Richard Kelly. In 1991, when Guilford Technical Community College offered

a continuing education course focusing on the show, Teague wasted no time signing up. That class became the foundation of the Barney chapter of The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club, which he describes as one of the most active chapters in the country.

Teague has met a number of cast members – including Knotts, whom he found delightful – and has numerous Mayberry memorabilia items.

“My house isn’t wallpapered in ‘Andy’ wallpaper – my love is for the show itself,” Teague says.

“To me, the show is like a drug. Watching an ‘Andy’ episode takes the edge off a very busy life – it’s familiar, it’s pleasant, and it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen an episode, it’s gonna invoke the same feelings it always does.

Even if I’ve seen an episode 50 times, when I watch it that 51st time, I’m still drawn to watching it, and for that half an hour, it’s an escape.”

Murphey, the youth minister at Oak View Baptist, enjoys the comedy of the show, but he also likes the values represented by the show.

“As a Christian and as a minister, I love the values we have from God’s word,” he says. “The show really pictures a lot of those things you hope society would be like. It’s great to be able to turn on the TV and not worry about bad language or things being brought up that are immoral. You can watch and get a good lesson from it.”

Mayberry fans know some people roll their eyes when they hear how much the fans love the show, but it doesn’t change how they feel.

“How could you live in North Carolina and not love ‘Andy’?” Teague says. “Maybe people from up north, but if you live in this area and you don’t watch ‘Andy’ and you don’t understand it, that’s like blasphemy.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Advocacy from angst Jobless join together to press Congress for aid

BY ALANA SEMUELS MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICES

LOS ANGELES — After his wife of 23 years pulls out of the driveway every morning to head to college, Scott Mathewson sits down at the computer in his apartment and talks to his unemployment group.

Mathewson, a San Jose, Calif., electrician who has been out of work for more than two years, spends most days in an online chat room he created to lobby for another round of unemployment benefits.

In this election year, he and other jobless workers are trying to turn the nation’s 14.9 million unemployed into a political force.

“This has made me 110 percent more politically active,” said Mathewson, 45, who in March exhausted his 99 weeks of jobless benefits, the maximum available.

Mathewson is part of a growing army of so-called 99ers, the estimated 3.5 million unemployed workers who will have fallen off the jobless benefit rolls by year-end. Their prospects for finding new work are dim. The U.S. economy continues to shed jobs and the national unemployment rate is 9.6 percent.

With their finances in tatters and little hope of finding work anytime soon, Mathewson and other 99ers are pressing policymakers for additional aid.

Last month, a group of grass-roots, Internet-based organizations blitzed members of the U.S. Senate with faxes and e-mails. Calling themselves the American 99ers Union, they’re urging lawmakers to approve a stalled bill granting an additional 20 weeks of benefits to long-term jobless workers in hard-hit states.

“You’ve had a lot of groups out there with the same end goal, an extension,” said Gregg Rosen, an unemployed marketer

‘This has made me 110 percent more politically active.’

Scott Mathewson Unemployed electrician from Pennsylvania who founded the umbrella group. “We thought, ’Let’s start putting these groups together into one laser-focused group.’ “ Rosen estimates that the 16 groups in the coalition are composed of 100,000 members from across the country. Whether they can mobilize the nation’s jobless or sway public policy remains to be seen.

Few legislators or candidates this political season are championing efforts to extend unemployment benefits because of growing concerns over the

size of the federal budget deficit. There’s no powerful entity in Washington representing the jobless or the millions of Americans just getting by on part-time jobs. Many unemployed people are so strapped for cash that they’ve lost their Internet and phone service.

Others spend so much time job hunting that they have little energy for political action.

“The jobless are not a lobbying group. There’s no national association of the unemployed,” said former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, a professor of public policy at University of California-Berkeley. “Most people who have lost a job think of themselves as very much alone.”

Jobless worker Michael White, 58, said this is the time to band together.

White, of Los Angeles, didn’t follow politics until he lost his job as a video editor in June 2008.

He’s since founded the Unemployed Workers Action Group, which is affiliated with the American 99ers Union.

White helped organize an August rally on Wall Street that drew dozens of unemployed, some holding signs reading “The American Dream Has No Expiration Date” and “Where Are the Jobs?”

The group encouraged 99ers to call their members of Congress about introducing legislation to grant an extension of unemployment benefits, called Tier 5, to those whose benefits have run out.

“They say you shouldn’t vote on one issue, but my next vote is going to

When Augusta Roosa lost her accounting job at a restaurant on Jekyll Island, Ga., she figured it would be just a matter of time before she landed another job in her line of work. But after six months of looking, she decided to go for a long shot. ”I knew the back of the restaurant, so I figured: Why not learn the front?”

Roosa said. The trick was getting a local restaurant owner to give her a chance to prove she could learn everything she needed to know on the job.

That’s where a nationally recognized program called Georgia Work$ came in.

Started in 2003, it allows jobless workers to become trainees for selected businesses at no cost to the employers. Last week, Georgia more than doubled the number of people who can benefit from the program by opening it up to anyone without a job, not just those collecting unemployment checks, as originally designed.

The brainchild of Georgia labor commissioner Michael Thurmond, the program has helped more than 4,000 Georgians find new careers. It has been recognized by two organizations — the American Institute for Full Employment and UWC Strategic Services on Unemployment and Workers’ Compensation.

On a recent weekday, about a dozen 99ers gathered online in Mathewson’s chat room to discuss the latest developments to extend benefits.

Some complained about cuts to food stamp programs and the difficulty of finding low-cost housing.

“If something isn’t done, I want to make sure the Democrats know we will all change our affiliation to independent, and they can join us in the unemployment line,” Paoletti said to others.

Even if their work doesn’t result in additional benefits, some 99ers said the group at least gives them a sense of purpose and belonging.

Charter schools sue over access to funding

BY MATTHEW E. MILLIKEN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

DURHAM – Five local charter schools have sued the Durham public school system for more than a million dollars they claim was inappropriately withheld.

Central Park School for Children, Maureen Joy Charter School and Carter Community School claim to be due more than $1.2 million.

In a similar lawsuit, Healthy Start Academy and Kestrel Heights School are seeking unspecified amounts.

These lawsuits are part of a wave of disputes between charter schools and districts throughout the state triggered by a 2009 court ruling on what money districts are required to share with charters.

Richard Vinroot, former Charlotte mayor and Republican gubernatorial candidate with the firm Robinson, Bradshaw and Hinson successfully represented Charlotte charter schools in that case.

Vinroot is a lawyer for Carter, Central Park and Maureen Joy. Deborah Stagner of the Raleigh firm of Tharrington Smith is one attorney representing the Durham school system in both cases.

“The school system is certainly attempting to comply with that decision and to the fullest extent possible,” she said. “But it’s not an easy issue to come to, a determination of what amount, if any, may still be owed.”

Charter schools are public schools independently governed and subject to only a portion of the regulations that bind regular schools.

They depend on county

school districts to distribute their share of local funds.

Philip Adkins, who is representing Healthy Start and Kestrel Heights, said the Durham public school system did not cooperate with his clients’ request to extend their opportunity to collect potential money owed them from 2006-07 beyond the threeyear time limit.

“We tried to get Durham Public Schools to agree to toll the statute of limitations so that we wouldn’t have to file

The lawsuits are part of a wave of disputes between charter schools and districts throughout the state triggered by a 2009 court ruling on what money districts are required to share with charters. a lawsuit -- tried to deal with this amicably,” Adkins said.

“And what I’m telling you is our efforts to do that were ignored or rejected.”

On May 3, the Durham district’s executive director for financial services, Carolyn Olivarez, wrote letters stating the district owed Healthy Start $108,000 and Kestrel Heights $68,000.

(All figures have been rounded.) Adkins claims the school system has refused to demonstrate how it calculated those amounts.

“That’s what we’re trying to determine,” he said. “I do not know how much money the schools are owed.”

The other set of plaintiffs based their claims on what they say was an unequal sharing of Durham Public Schools’ county-supplied operational money on a perstudent basis.

In other words, they assert that portions of what is known as the local current expense fund were reserved exclusively for regular public schools, meaning they got more dollars per student than the charters.

Olivarez wrote this spring to tell Carter, Central Park and Maureen Joy that they were owed $29,000, $41,000 and $42,000, respectively.

In their lawsuit, they claim they should be paid $327,000, $453,000 and $472,000.

The three schools also allege that Durham calculated charter school enrollment differently for them than it did for regular public schools.

Their complaint does not state how much money they might be owed because of this possible discrepancy.

Stagner, who briefed the school board on these cases in a closed session last week, refused to discuss the state of potential mediation or settlement talks.

Adkins said it was too early to say whether a settlement could be reached.

An attorney representing Carter and its fellow plaintiffs did not return a call seeking comment to the Durham Herald-Sun newspaper last week.

Bank endures multiple robberies MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

DURHAM – SunTrust Bank has been robbed again.

The most recent holdup happened about 9:42 a.m. Tuesday at the bank’s branch at 3421 N. Roxboro Road.

The robber, who passed a note during the holdup, was described as a black man in his mid-30s, between 5-foot-5 inches and 5-7, and 180 to 190 pounds. He wore a long sleeved, button-up shirt and a light blue New York Yankees baseball hat with the letters “NY” on the front.

Durham police Cpl. Martin Walkowe said “money was taken” in the holdup, but he didn’t know how much.

Tuesday’s holdup follows an attempted robbery about 2:53 p.m. Sept. 19 at the

SunTrust Bank branch at 1817 Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, inside a Harris Teeter supermarket.

The suspect was described as a black man in his mid-30s, 5-8 and 160 to 170 pounds. He was described as having a goatee or small mustache and wearing a white, long sleeved shirt and black pants.

On Sept. 15, a customer was robbed inside the SunTrust Bank branch at 4235 University Drive.

Police said a gunman wearing a mask entered the bank shortly before 5 p.m. and robbed a customer who was making a deposit.

The suspect fled in a dark gray vehicle similar to a Dodge Charger or Chrysler 300, police said.

Bus tour heats up state’s political season MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

CHAPEL HILL – Americans for Prosperity brought its “Spending Revolt Bus Tour” to town Tuesday to educate citizens about the evils of what organizers say is out-of-control spending by the federal government.

The giant bus, which has traveled to more than 30 states spreading the gos-

pel of fiscal conservatism, was met at Hargraves Community Center by a small group of supporters who found themselves outnumbered by a loosely organized band of protesters carrying campaign signs for local Democratic candidates.

Still, Dallas Woodhouse, the Raleigh-based state director of Americans for Prosperity, was undeterred and went full speed

ahead with his attack on what he termed excessive state and federal spending.

“Did anybody brush their teeth today?” Woodhouse asked. “Well, in the three or four minutes it’s going to take to brush your teeth today, the federal government is going to spend $47 million.”

Woodhouse said the nation’s mounting debt, which increased by $2.2

trillion in the first 500 days of the Obama administration, is unsustainable.

But one of the protesters, 88-year-old Marilyn Dyer, said Woodhouse and those who support the “Spending Revolt” seem eager to return to what she called the fiscally irresponsible policies of President George W. Bush.

“People’s memories are so short,” said Dyer.

In this Sept. 13, 2009 file photo, actor Tony Danza sings the national anthem before the second game of a baseball doubleheader between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets, in Philadelphia. Danza appears in “Teach,” an A&E reality show that premiered Friday that chronicles the actor in his year at the head of a class.

Students say Danza made the grade as English teacher

P

HILADELPHIA (AP) – When former sitcom star Tony Danza began teaching English at a Philadelphia high school, no one really knew what to expect.

Not even Tony Danza.

Certainly school officials were holding their breath after the district greenlighted “Teach,” an A&E reality show that premiered Friday that chronicles Danza’s year at the head of a class.

Danza, with no teaching experience, was enthusiastic but overwhelmed when filming began last fall at Northeast High School.

His students seemed excited but puzzled; some had no idea who he was. (“Wasn’t he in, like, ‘Cheers’?” one teen asks in the first episode.

Um, no.)

While critics contended that education was being sacrificed to ben-

efit the actor best known for “Taxi” and “Who’s the Boss?”, students and administrators say “Mr. D” ended up making the grade.

“You’re hoping that all the new teachers grow the same way he did,” Assistant Principal Sharon McCloskey said.

“Teach” comes at a time when education reform is a huge topic in public policy and popular culture, from President Barack Obama’s Race to the Top grant program to major film documentaries like “Waiting for ‘Superman’ ” and “Race to Nowhere.”

Danza underwent weeks of prep and newteacher orientation before starting at Northeast, a diverse 3,400student public high school in a blue-collar neighborhood. His class of 26 sophomores ran the gamut from jocks

Initially, it’s rough going for the boss of Room 230. He deals with cheating and violence, meets with parents of obstinate students, and tries to balance discipline with empathy – all while teaching “Of Mice and Men” and other books

to teens with varying academic abilities.

It’s overwhelming.

Danza cries several times in the first few episodes.

“I can’t help it,” Danza said. “You see yourself in them. You want them to learn from your mistakes and you can’t get it through to them.”

Richie no longer famous for being famous N

EW YORK (AP) – Nicole Richie first became a tabloid regular when she co-starred with childhood pal Paris Hilton in the reality show “The Simple Life.”

Several years later, the 29-year-old is still a paparazzi target, but she has broadened her resume.

The daughter of singer Lionel Richie has transformed her image from red carpet regular and party girl to a hip, young mom (she has two children with musician Joel Madden of the band Good Charlotte), fashion designer, occasional actress and author.

Her new book, “Priceless,” is now in stores.

It’s about a wealthy

young woman named Charlotte whose stockbroker father Richie is busted for embezzling millions from his clients.

Charlotte ends up escaping the barrage of media attention surrounding the scandal in New York City and relocating to New Orleans where she builds a life for herself.

“I don’t think anyone is just a one-dimensional person. There are a few different people inside of every person,” Richie said in an interview with The Associated Press to promote the book.

This isn’t Richie’s first foray into writing. Her first novel, “The Truth About Diamonds,” was about a girl who is the adopted daughter of a famous male singer and part of Hollywood’s in-crowd.

Richie denies reports the book, a New York Times best-seller, was “semi-autobiographical,” saying her writing is influenced by personal experience, but the book wasn’t about her own life.

For “Priceless,” Richie wanted to take a different direction.

“I wanted to write a story about the journey of a girl’s life and about the steps that she takes to find her place her in the world and find her own voice.”

Museum of Modern Art shows abstract expressionists

N

EW YORK (AP) – In 1949, the avantgarde American sculptor Philip Pavia declared, “The first half of the century belonged to Paris. The next half century will be ours.”

He was referring to a loose association of fellow artists in New York City in the 1940s whose radical new artwork became known as abstract expressionism.

Now The Museum of Modern Art, one of the institutions most closely associated with the movement, has mounted its largest and most comprehensive presentation of abstract expressionist art, drawn entirely from its own collection.

The wide-ranging survey brings together 250 works in various

mediums, including painting, sculpture, drawings, prints, photographs and film, by such luminaries as

Visitors who plan to attend should be prepared to come back for repeated viewings.

Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Joan Mitchell and David Smith.

Visitors who plan to attend should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to come back for repeated viewings.

The entire fourth floor has been given over to 100 paintings and other artworks that tell the story of a group of artists who created a new language for art in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Additional works are displayed on the second and third floors.

The exhibition is organized in roughly chronological order, interspersed with a few galleries devoted to a single artist including Pollock, Rothko and Newman. This solo treatment for a few is a nice gift from curator Ann Temkin, giving visitors the chance to spend concentrated time with a handful of geniuses whose best work can inspire feelings of religious awe.

Yellow shines brightly on fundraiser T

he psychological meaning of the color yellow is that â&#x20AC;&#x153;yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment and happiness. Shades of yellow carry the promise of a positive future.

The color yellow is also mentally and physically stimulating,â&#x20AC;? according to the Sensational Color Website. Now that may explain why I have always loved the color yellow and it may also shed a light (yellow of course) on why the nationally accredited and recognized Mental Health Association of High Point (MHAHP) named their signature fundraiser the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yellow Bandana Eveningâ&#x20AC;? rather than â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Bandanaâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue Bandana.â&#x20AC;? That is my conjecture anyway.

So now that I have totally extolled my theory of how the Yellow Bandana Evening got its name, let me take you there. Last year, I subtitled it â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Great American Picnicâ&#x20AC;? and this year I am sticking to that story. Like last year, Brett and Christi Barbour graciously hosted the â&#x20AC;&#x153;picnicâ&#x20AC;? in their spacious yard. Brett is the son of Susan Allred, who served as chairman of the signature event which raised $15,000 this year.

I arrived at the Barbours and just followed the aroma of grilled chicken and BBQ pork. Everyone probably remembers when legendary Max Meeks would host the annual auction for MHAHP and have live auctions on his radio show. Since Meeks retired and the radio auction was no longer viable, MHAHP decided to integrate the auction and the picnic.

There was a wonderful array of items (and luckily it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rain), including many homemade sweets

displayed on the lawn of the Barbours.

I have to pause here to congratulate my ABOUT friend and presidentTOWN elect Elizabeth Allen Mary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; oops!

Bogest I mean â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Elizabeth Terrell.

Elizabeth and Jeff Terrell were married this summer and I am so, so happy for the newly married couple.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to the newlyweds.

Congratulations!

I sort of meandered my way around and made my way over to the chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen which, on every other day, functions as the Barbours driveway.

On this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yellow bandana Eveningâ&#x20AC;? the outdoor kitchen was was equipped with several â&#x20AC;&#x153;grill loversâ&#x20AC;? grills which could accommodate plenty of pork and chicken. Board member Michael Beaver, who owns Furniture North Yorkshire, tended to the pork in addition to donating some furniture for the auction.

Also notably, Beaver was selected as an inaugural member of the Victory Junction Triad Regional Advisory Board along with other High Pointers Jordan Washburn. who is also founding board member, Ned Covington, owner of Harriss & Covington Hosiery Mills, and Fred Wilson, owner of Piedmont Chemical.

David Bowman tended the grilled chicken which was an added menu item this year.

Back to mingle under the big white tent, conversations continued to reverberate the tremendous impact that Tony

Griffeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revelation at the annual meeting in May of his personal experience with mental illness. Literally, no one who attended that evening left the same person as when they arrived. Griffey put a face on mental illness. This is a face that so many of us look to with such admiration for his many operatic successes including four Grammy Awards and extending to his acclaimed appearances all over the world. It would have been so easy for Griffey to say nothing and let the world believe that his infectious smile portrays the real Tony Griffey. I applauded his courage that night as did everyone else in that room.

It was almost at that precise moment that I glanced over still under the â&#x20AC;&#x153;big topâ&#x20AC;? and spied Tony arriving with his mother Joyce to enjoy the Yellow Bandana Evening.

Understandably, every time I see Joyce with her son, she is beaming with pride. Tony continues to be a dedicated advocate of MHAHP and the work that this organization does in our community.

The MHAHP has been helping people in High Point and surrounding areas since 1967 when it was founded by a group of our citizens.

As Executive Director Ellen Cochran told me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people who have mental illness are not in institutions. They live next door.â&#x20AC;? Here are a few alarming stats: Over 3,200 youth in High Point alone have behavioral, emotional or a mental health problems and there are at least 1,400 adults that need mental health services and are not getting them! Wow! Certainly in this time of financial challenges to

Mental Health Association of High Point board member Linda Myers (from left), Executive Director Ellen Cochran and board member Martha Stewart make sure the centerpieces are perfect for the Yellow Bandana Evening. both families and organizations alike, it is easy to fathom that needs are increasing. If a family has trouble putting food on the table or are faced with the loss of their home, underlying mental health issues are sure to escalate feelings of depression, anxiety or other issues.

Cochran also told me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The MHAHP depends on our friends. I want everyone to know that MHAHP is a major asset in our community. Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize what vital work we do and what a major difference we make in the lives of people. We are a United Way (congratulations on 75 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; United Way!) member and that blessing is dependable. We know we can always count on them when other sources may be more sporadic.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful to be part of a caring community.â&#x20AC;?

MHAHP offers so many programs including support groups, evaluations, counseling both individual and group, workshops, referrals and outreach programs which deal with issues such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, violence, grief, adjustment disorders and the list goes on. What a spectrum.

And there was quite a spectrum of picnickers who delighted in the evening. Among them included President of the Board Trip Baker, who had a dance or two with chairwoman Allred, Joe and Diana Lorber (I got the â&#x20AC;&#x153;aâ&#x20AC;? this time, Diana) Neurologist Dr. Leanne Willis and Neurosurgeon Dr. Vicki Neave. I had the opportunity to chat with Gus Schwenk, the assistant coach of HPU

Susan Allred, chairman of the Yellow Bandana Evening, jokes with Trip Baker, president of the board of directors for the Mental Health Association of High Point.

La Crosse team and they have some good players and will be a team to watch. I also have to congratulate Board Member Linda Myers. She successfully and for the past two years enlisted her husband Eddie to serve as the shuttle chauffeur.

No matter how near or how far, every time a car parked in the neighborhood, Eddie was right there to offer them a ride. I do think that Linda gave him a break so he could get some of that delicious BBQ.

Everyone who attended received a yellow bandana. Some were worn as a scarf, some on the head or like me, tied to their purse. As our society has adopted different colored bracelets that represent awareness for a particular cause â&#x20AC;Ś so now, in High Point it is the yellow bandana that raises awareness and gleams a ray of hope through the MHAHP.
