Owner says ABC targets Cristal Club BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

“This will increase our supply. We’re expecting to (have) a bigger demand in the next 20 to 40 years.” Some parts of the treatment plant are technologically advanced, according to engineer Joe McGougan. Membrane filtration tanks, which are just gaining ground in North Carolina for surface water treatment, and carbon are being used to remove organic compounds from the water. The treatment plant is releasing about 12 million gallons of water a day with the potential for about 18 million.

HIGH POINT – The owner of a south High Point nightclub sanctioned earlier this year asked the City Council Monday for an investigation into her claims that she was discriminated against by authorities. Gloria Jones told council members she felt it was unfair for the state Alcoholic Beverage Commission to summarily suspend the Cristal Nite Club’s alcohol permits on the grounds that the club posed a threat to public safety. The ABC Commission took the action in August at the request of the High Point Police Department, which documented 147 calls for service at the 509 Ennis St. site of the club from August 2007 to July 2010, including incidents involving shootings, robberies, fights and drugs. “I feel targeted because I’m Hispanic,” Jones said. “I tried to work with the police department as best I can. I tried to keep my business open because it’s the last Hispanic bar in High Point.” Jones, who spoke during the monthly public comment period during the council’s meeting, cited no specific instances or evidence of discrimination but, in response to questions from Councilman Mike Pugh, said she felt victimized and requested an investigation by the city’s Human Relations Commission. “I think anytime a citizen feels they’ve been mistreated or discriminated against by any city employee, then I think they have a right to have an investigation by the (commission),” Pugh said. City officials indicated it would be appropriate for the commission to investigate Jones’ claims. “I can assure you there’s certainly no tolerance for discrimination,” Mayor Becky Smothers said. “The facts need to be determined.” Three people spoke on

Homes receive first delivery from Randleman Lake BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – A drop of water that has been anticipated for a quarter of a century finally poured from a faucet somewhere in the Guilford County area around 10 a.m. Monday. With the click of a mouse, Piedmont Triad Water Authority Chairman Charlie Jones officially began releasing treated water from the Randleman Regional Reservoir into homes in High Point, Greensboro and five surrounding municipalities. Turning on operations at the John F. Kime Water Treatment Plant on Adams Farm Road in Randleman was the final step to delivering clean water that was acquired from the reservoir. The plant has been testing its procedures and operations for two months, but it received state certification about two weeks ago, allowing it to become fully operational. It is expected to supply water for the next 50 to 75 years. “This is a very special day for High Point and

It’s been a very satisfying experience to work with the government entities involved that have banded together and focused on this completion.” The cities receiving water from the lake have other water sources in place. For example, Archdale receives its water supply

from Davidson Water, an innovation transfer, and from High Point, which is supplied by Oak Hollow Lake and City Lake. But the additional water source will benefit both communities, representatives said. “We will be getting initially all our water from here by the end of the week, so it’s a big day for us,” said Lewis Dorsett, an Archdale city councilman. “With the completion of I-73 and I-74 coming up, we’re poised for growth.” “We don’t have a big river source in High Point, so we have to rely on reservoirs,” added Arnold.

Davidson officials OK school project BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The proposed middle school that may be built in the northern part of Davidson County got pushed ahead a step on Monday night. The Davidson County Board of Education voted unanimously to allow Walter Robbs Callahan & Pierce Architects to open school construction bids for the school on Nov. 9. The school board also gave the go-ahead on the final design of the new middle school and approved the use of $10 million of zero-interest Qualified School Construction Bonds for the project. The QSCB funds, for which the system has tentatively been approved, have been authorized by the federal government

through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The school, which would serve the Ledford/North school districts, is proposed to be located on Midway School Road near the Hoy Long Road intersection. The school, which would serve the Ledford/North school districts, is proposed to be located

on Midway School Road near the Hoy Long Road intersection. Commissioners agreed to purchase 133 acres in April for a new middle and high school. The school is proposed to be about 139,000 square feet, with a capacity of 864 students. Construction bids for the school will be open for 45 days, said Walter Robbs Callahan and Pierce Architects Vice President Clark Pierce. Before the board approved the final design, Pierce and Jay Temple, the system’s executive director of auxiliary services, provided details on the proposed school. “This board has been very adamant in looking or having us to plan for a lot of green technologies in this school,” Temple said.

False bomb threat evacuates Walmart ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – A phone tip claiming that a bomb was at a south High Point retail outlet early Monday turned out to be a false threat, according to police. An unknown person called in a threat that alleged a bomb was inside the Walmart Supercenter, 2628 S. Main St., just before 3 a.m., police said.

Officers responded and escorted store management on a search of the building. Managers located a suspicious package and the building was evacuated. Members of the Greensboro Police Department Bomb Squad responded to assist. The package was recovered and determined to be harmless, police said. No arrests in the case were reported Monday.

Community greets new Central High School principal BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – It took just about a week on the job for Central High School’s new principal to make his first appearance at a PTSA meeting. Communication with parents and the community is important for Jerry Simmons, the former Hertford County High school principal. Following the PTSA meeting, the group and the school held a community greeting session Monday for Simmons. “Parents seem to be more involved at the elementary level, but it is important for high school too,” Simmons said. Simmons succeeds Revonda Johnson, who was principal for five years. Simmons said the diversity of the school appealed to him and also provided a challenge to “put in a plan so that all groups are successful.” Simmons has a history of leading schools to higher achieve-

ment. Central High passed the 2010 Adequate Yearly Progress, the federal standard required by the No Child Left Behind Act, with a 69 percent score. Simmons led Hertford High, a Judge Manning turnaround high school, from a 35.4 percent ABCs performance composite in 2006 to 78.8 percent for 2010. Central High is a Mission Possible school that offers staff bonuses for improved academic performance. “We want to ensure that every student receives the highest quality education,” Simmons said, “to be successful and on track to graduation.” Central’s graduation rate has moved up from 62 percent in 2006 to 81 percent in 2010. Simmons said he will take time to analyze the school’s statistics so that he will be on the same page with the staff. Parents hope that Simmons will work to promote the school’s most successful programs. “He’s talked about communica-

behalf of Jones, including her landlord, who described her as an honest businesswoman whose efforts to improve the property had benefitted the surrounding neighborhood. Don Korn, who handled security at the club, said there were “a lot of inconsistencies and some fabrications” in sworn statements from police and neighbors that were submitted to the ABC Commission. He said a previous club employee “called police at the drop of a hat” to report minor problems that, in his view, didn’t warrant a police response. The club is located in the Southside neighborhood, which historically has struggled with crime. Police have given the area special attention since launching a street-drug initiative

there four years ago that targeted violent crime. According to authorities, in June a shooting occurred within a few feet of the property and both the victim and suspect were club patrons. In July, a man was pistol-whipped during a robbery just outside the club entrance. The alleged robber also shot a bystander in the leg. In his affidavit, police Chief Jim Fealy said the club posed a threat to community safety as an ABC establishment, and the high volume of calls and recent shootings there imposed an undue burden on the department.

noticed Thursday that the pond had virtually no fish in it. Thieves had made off with 600 pounds of trout. Eason says the thieves baited the water so the fish would come to the surface, scooped up the fish and got them

into a getaway car. She says the farm had been locked, and there were no signs anyone broke in. Eason says she told local fish markets to be on the lookout for anyone trying to unload a huge amount of fish.

Promise of Obama’s election didn’t materialize Whittier said it, “For all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, It might have been.” The last U.S. presidential election was labeled as “historic” by many observers. We had our first post-racial president. We had a president who was a “child of the world.” A president who had experienced life in other cultures. A president who could identify with all the segments of a divided society and bring healing to old hurts. A president who would bring our economy back “from the brink.” Instead, we got a president whose background with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright comes immediately to mind when his U.S. Justice Department gives notice that obvious voter intimidation by Black Panthers will not be prosecuted. We got a president who bows to the leaders of violent regimes around the world while withdrawing support from our staunchest allies. We got a president whose programs have resulted in more debt for our country (already drowning in deficits) than all

Why can’t we pick only channels we want? This letter is in response to Alonzo Inman’s comments in Your View on Sept. 20 (“The TV programming we get is a bunch of junk”). I also agree with what he had to say and wanted to add my two cents. With Time-Warner being the largest supplier of cable in our area, it looks like they should be able to customize a customer’s account to suit their needs. Why should customers be required to pay for numerous channels that we don’t need or want? What would be wrong with letting customers decide what channels

they would watch and price accordingly? JENNY RUSSELL Thomasville

Smothers has worked to keep city’s economy strong I want to commend Mayor Becky Smothers for her outstanding leadership and vision for our city. Smothers has tirelessly and continuously worked to promote High Point and secure federal, state and local funding for our city ... not an easy task during this challenging economy. The past two years have been economically challenging for our city government and for my family as well. Thankfully, there has been no property tax increase in three years, revenues for the city have decreased and so has the city’s budget. Under Smothers’ sharp pencil, the city’s expenses were cut by $16 million in this year’s budget, yet essential ser-

vices have been maintained. Even during this tough economy there were 1,405 new jobs created or announced in 2009. In 2008, the number was 2,167 and in 2007 the city announced 3,096 new jobs. Smothers has worked hard to diversify our local economy by attracting new and expanding industries and businesses, and we are seeing new prospects interested in investing in High Point. This is proof of her passion and love for this city and for it to remain a vital economic entity. Please join me in supporting Becky Smothers for mayor. SALLIE HENDRIX High Point

t’s down on the list of vital issues to address, but it’s a problem that annoys millions of us every day. Finally though, it looks as if Congress is going to fix that pesky problem of excessive loudness in television commercials. The House and the Senate have passed bills that give the Federal Communications Commission the authority to do something about the problem. After a compromise bill is hammered out, the FCC is expected to require TV stations and cable networks to abide by solutions to the problem developed by a nonprofit broadcasting industry organization. Many TV viewers have been calling for congressional regulations on this matter for decades. As much as we dislike over-regulation by government, honestly, this is a problem that just really has vexed us over the years, and we say ... it’s about time. The good thing about this legislation, spearheaded by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, (D-R.I.) is that it pretty much is forcing the industry to push itself into solving the problem. It’s called the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act, hence CALM Act. The bill requires that the guidelines and recommended practices of a nonprofit broadcasting industry group, the Advanced Television System Committee, be imposed on TV stations and cable systems to control the loudness of commercials in relation to the volume of programming in which the commercials occur. Interestingly, industry people say it’s actually not a problem of there being a huge change in volume. There is a maximum volume level that whatever is being broadcast can reach, whether it is a commercial or regular TV programming. It’s more that the volume levels of a commercial are maintained constant at the allowable high level instead of levels varying as they do in regular programming. So, the broadcast gives the optical illusion – if you will – of the commercials being broadcast with volumes at much higher levels than the regular programming. But that explanation notwithstanding, this is a frustration for TV viewers that we figure is akin to your newspaper carrier throwing your paper into a mud puddle every day. We don’t want Congress regulating that problem, but we’re glad the matter of excessive loudness in TV commercials is being addressed.

Some business groups don’t like a true free market

F

ree enterprise creates the conditions for business to thrive. But don’t expect business organizations and lobbies to be consistent advocates for free enterprise and the principles of limited, constitutional government that make it possible. Among the organizations representing businesses of all sizes, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, where I interned back during the Reagan administration, has the best record of opposing tax hikes, intrusive regulations, trade barriers, and wasteful spending. For smaller companies, the National Federation of Independent Business has proven to be an effective, principled defender of free enterprise in Washington and elsewhere. Other business groups and lobbyists have far less impressive records. Many are willing to cut deals with left-leaning lawmakers, either because they secure a special favor out of it or because they are afraid to buck the political tide. And many business groups spend much of their time actively lobbying for government intervention in the marketplace – in the form of subsidies, bailouts, or regulations that exclude or damage their competitors. The problem is hardly new. Adam Smith wrote about it in 1776 in his “Wealth of Nations.” The Wall Street Journal recently reported that a number of corporate executives and lobbyists are worried about the rise of the Tea Party movement. While increasingly hostile to the Obama administration and its growth-killing tax and regulatory agenda, these business groups aren’t entirely sure they will like the alternative, either. They fear that Tea Party conservatives will win enough congressional seats in November to threaten the availability of special tax breaks, marketing subsidies, and bailouts in the coming years. I hope their fear is justified. It’s about time candidates who espouse

free-market principles show their willingness to act according to those principles. No more bailouts. No more corporate welfare. No more deficit-financed fake stimulus. No more scheming to line the pockets of special-interest groups. OPINION In North Carolina, state political power has resided John for generations in a relatively Hood small class of political opera■■■ tives. They have held not only the key elective offices but also prominent positions in big business and trade associations. Rarely have the state’s business groups spoken up in any organized fashion against the growth of government. The relative proportions of acquiescence and agreement supporting their decision is beyond my knowledge. But their silence has been costly to our state. Anyone who believes that the problems in North Carolina’s business climate can be overcome by a few subsidies to big business is willing to believe pretty much anything. In reality, even a billion dollars a year in tax incentives and corporate welfare can’t compensate for the economic consequences of high marginal tax rates, inadequate infrastructure, mediocre schools, and a punitive regulatory system. If there is a political revolution in November, in Washington and in Raleigh, liberal politicians and interest groups won’t be the only ones wringing their hands. Those in lobbying shops and business groups who have gone along to get along will be worried, too. They’ll perceive a threat to their cozy relationships and sinecures. And they may well be right. Let’s hope so. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

Sunnis lash out at Iraq leader BAGHDAD (AP) – The flurry to close the first chapter of Iraq’s sevenmonth political drama is suddenly intense with angry Sunnis pledging to dig in for a fight while Shiite Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki tries to win over the last few allies he needs to stay in power. But after the struggle for prime minister is finally settled, then comes the next big fight that could also drag on for months, the competition for key government posts. A taste of both the old and upcoming showdowns was offered Monday inside the parliament building that’s been idled by the crisis since March elections. Sunni leaders lashed out at al-Maliki, who appears on the verge of dodging election defeat and hanging onto power. But the pledges of Sunni unity and defiance also pointed to the drawn-out fight over Cabinet seats that could extend the impasse into its fourth season. “It’s a very complicated political scene right now,� said Hadi Jalo, a political analyst at Baghdad University.

NATO troops, Afghan police killed in ambush

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – Three explosions just minutes apart rocked Kandahar on Monday night, killing up to four Afghan police officers in the nation’s largest city in the south. Three NATO service members also were killed by bombings in southern Afghanistan and an insurgent attack killed another in the east, raising the coalition’s death toll to 11 in the first four days of October. Their nationalities and details

of their deaths were not disclosed. A spokesman for the provincial governor of Kandahar, Zelmai Ayubi, said two policemen were killed and 10 other people were wounded in the explosions, which occurred near a school. Officials at Mirwais Hospital reported a higher death toll. They said four policemen died in the explosions and 17 other people were injured.

No evidence US targeted 6" /6cc^kZghVgn White House: Europe terror threat not related to here WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House said Monday that a new terror threat against Europe isn’t related to the United States. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that Americans traveling abroad should take commonsense precautions, but he emphasized that people were not being told to stay home. Gibbs told reporters that President Barack Obama was briefed on the situation Saturday. On Sunday, the U.S. issued an alert to Americans living in or traveling to Europe to be vigilant because of the threat of terrorism there. The threat “deals with Europe and isn’t related to the United States,� Gibbs said, without providing details. “We are concerned enough to alert those who are in Europe to be alert to

Arsonists torch village in West Bank RAMALLAH, West Bank – Arsonists torched a mosque in a West Bank village Monday, scrawling “revenge� on a wall in Hebrew and charring copies of the Muslim holy book in an attack that threatened to stoke tensions over deadlocked Mideast peacemaking. Palestinians say they suspect hard-line Jewish settlers of setting the fire in the village of Beit Fajjar. The attack is likely to hamper U.S. efforts to sustain month-old talks between Israelis and Palestinians, now deadlocked over settlement construction.

Pakistan, US tensions spike after border closure ISLAMABAD – Hundreds of U.S. and NATO trucks carrying fuel and other supplies for troops in Afghanistan lie idle. Dramatic images of Taliban attacks on these convoys are splashed across front pages in this anti-American country with a U.S.-allied government. Pakistan’s shutting of a key supply line for coalition troops in Afghanistan and the apparent ease with which militants are attacking the stranded convoys are shaking an already uncomfortable relationship between Washington and Islamabad.

US working to accept exiled Cuban prisoners HAVANA – Washington is working on a plan to bring the vast majority of exiled Cuban political prisoners from Spain to the United States and has already processed the first case, a senior State Department official told The Associated Press on Monday. Nearly all of some 39 former prisoners who are already in Spain, along with more than 100 family members, are likely to accept the offer, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the program publicly.

Court upholds deportation of Nobel laureate JERUSALEM – Israel’s Supreme Court on Monday upheld a deportation order against an Irish Nobel peace laureate who has taken up the Palestinian cause, clearing the way for her expulsion, a court official said. Israel banned Mairead Corrigan Maguire, 66, from entering the country because of her attempt to breach Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza aboard a ship in June. A lower court upheld the deportation order Friday, and she appealed to Israel’s highest judicial body.

UK in vitro pioneer Edwards wins medicine Nobel STOCKHOLM – Robert Edwards of Britain won the 2010 Nobel Prize in medicine on Monday for developing in vitro fertilization, a breakthrough that has helped millions of infertile couples have children. Edwards, an 85-year-old professor emeritus at the University of Cambridge, started working on IVF as early as the 1950s. He developed the technique, in which eggs are removed from a woman, fertilized outside her body and then implanted into the womb, together with British gynecologist surgeon Patrick Steptoe, who died in 1988.

Deputies charge man in slaying BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Davidson County man faces a murder charge in what authorities described as a domestic-related homicide that occurred last week. Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said the county 911 center received a call around noon Wednesday reporting that a woman had attempted suicide at a residence on Calvin Road south of Thomasville.

Firefighters, Davidson County EMS units and sheriff’s deputies responded and found 30-year-old Tosha Gail Powers unresponsive. Attempts at resuscitation were unsuccessful, authorities said. Deputies at the scene called detectives and crime-scene officers to the Calvin Road residence, which was described as a mobile home that Zachary Russell Bowman used for storage. Investigators discov-

B

ered that Bowman and Powers were in a domestic relationship and had been at the home to remove stored items, according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies also learned that Bowman had an outstanding warrant from Guilford County for communicating threats. Bowman was served with that warrant and booked into the Davidson County Jail on Wednesday. In the meantime, deputies and detectives

investigated the scene at the mobile home and conducted interviews. An autopsy was performed Thursday and after receiving the results and consulting with the Davidson County District Attorney’s Office, detectives obtained a murder warrant for Bowman, 21, of Wintbrook Road, Thomasville, on Friday, Grice said. Authorities on Monday were not releasing information about how Powers died. Powers, of Gobel

Road, Thomasville, had recently charged Bowman with assault and communicating threats against her children, authorities said. Bowman was being held under no bond Monday pending an initial court appearance. According to court documents, he has previous convictions for drug possession and drug paraphernalia in Davidson County in 2006. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

KERNERSVILLE – A local corn maze is contributing a portion of its proceeds this year to help a 3-year-old girl who became ill earlier this summer. Clodbuster Farms in Kernersville is contributing 50 cents from the sale of every ticket to its annual corn maze to the family of Addison Simmons. Addison Also from Kernersville, Simmons was sent to Brenner’s Children’s Hospital when a virus attacked her heart after her first day of preschool nearly two month ago. According to her aunt, Beth Clodfelter, Simmons sustained some brain damage from the incident, though she has made progress. She is no longer on life support, and she returned home last week. “She still has a long, long way to go,” Clodfelter said. “But she’s come a long way

Owners of Clodbuster Farms said they saw other organizations making contributions to her family for

medical bills and decided to do the same. “A lot of the people in the community have been doing stuff to help Addison,” said Lindsey Butner, an employee at the farm. “We thought we would help out in this way.” Clodbuster Farms is located at 5500 Leonard Farms Road in Kernersville, and

the corn maze runs through Nov. 21. Tickets are $10 a person, but group rates are offered. The farm can be reached at 409-0796. The maze, in its second year, takes about 30 minutes to complete, Butner said. A 20-minute hayride precedes the maze, and activities are available afterwards, such as horseshoes and corn toss.

A pancake breakfast at Union Cross Moravian Church in Winston-Salem also is being held to raise money for the Simmons family from 7-10:30 a.m. on Oct. 16. “We’re just so thankful for the support and the continued prayers,” Clodfelter said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Medical jobs offer rewarding careers ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – There’s one medical occupation that offers near certain employment after training and a rewarding career. Employment in surgical technology is expected to grow faster than average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Guilford Technical Community College has had a training program for 21 years with a good success rate of training students. Surgical technology training offers new graduates and older adults returning to the workforce an employment opportunity. Christa Wykoff, 39, of Jamestown, has a bachelor’s degree and had been a stay-at-home mother for 11 years when she decided

to re-enter the working world. “The work excites me as I am a hands-on person who does not like to sit still. I like caring for others,” she said. “I hope to get a job in a hospital so I can work around my husband’s crazy hours as an executive chef.” Job opportunities will be best for technologists

who are certified and for those who are willing to relocate, according to labor studies. “There are some young students and some a bit older but they seem to have one thing in common – they are serious about entering the surgical technology field,” said instructor Lorrie Campbell. Katie Moody, 21, of Lexington, said she wants to finish the surgical tech program and possibly go to another school and study nursing and pediatrics. “Being a surgical technologist is a rewarding career. You know every day, the skills that you perform are going to make a difference in somebody’s life that day, and for their future,” said Pamela Bonk, 43, of Ramseur.

Tea party activist backs Democrat RALEIGH (AP) – A leading tea party activist broke ranks Monday to endorse Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre, expressing concern about a Republican challenger who was once charged with murder. Deborah Johns said it appears that voters are ignoring Republican candidate Ilario Pantano’s past. Pantano was charged with premeditated murder in 2005, and prosecutors accused him of shooting two Iraqis in the back. An investigating officer later said that Pantano made “serious errors� in judgment but should not be brought to trial for murder. “That is not a war hero,� said Johns, adding that she read all the details of Pantano’s case in a 700-page transcript of his investigative hearing. “It is people like that that give all our military a bad name.� Johns is the former vice chair of the Tea Party Express and still speaks at tea party events. She’s also the mother of a Marine. Johns said it was difficult for her, as an advocate for both the tea party and military families, to endorse against Pantano and said McIntyre is the first Democrat she’s endorsed. Pantano has drawn the support from many activists in the tea party movement.

This undated photo provided by the Asheville Convention & Visitors Bureau shows a view of Asheville’s fall foliage from a hot air balloon ride.

Expert: Expect colorful fall in mountains KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Every year, Kathy Gould Mathews takes a deep breath and weighs in on the fall foliage season. An associate professor of biology at Western Carolina University specializing in plant systematics, Mathews does not take her annual forecast lightly. Neither do the tourist industries across Western North Carolina and East Tennessee who count on the color change to bring in business.

Mathews says she expects an above-average display this autumn based on weather patterns this past spring and summer. “It’s been a hot year, with above-average temperatures this summer,� she said. “Rainfall has been slightly less than average this spring and summer. These are two factors I look at when thinking about the timing and quality of the fall color change in the mountains.�

Mathews said that while soaring temperatures in June and July might have hurt gardens, well-established trees and shrubs were not adversely affected and in fact should produce more vibrant colors as a result of the heat stress. “The formation of ample yellow, orange and red pigments in the leaves seems to correlate with dry weather throughout the year,� she said.

Former NC House speaker leaves prison

---

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

FILE | AP

Then-Rep. Jim Black listens during a N.C. Board of Elections hearing probing his fundraising activities in Raleigh in 2006. Black pleaded guilty in federal court in 2007 to taking thousands of dollars from chiropractors while pushing their agenda. The release was the result of Black completing a 500-hour program designed to help people with drug or alcohol problems, which also shaved a year off the Mecklenburg County Democrat’s original sentence, Chalfant said. The halfway house’s operators, who have a contract with federal prison authorities, will decide if

or when the 75-year-old Black has the income and family support needed to allow him to complete his sentence under house arrest, Chalfant said. “Being separated from my family, friends, and loved ones since 2007 has been difficult,� Black said in the statement released by his attorney. Black pleaded guilty in

federal court in 2007 to taking thousands of dollars from chiropractors while pushing their agenda at the General Assembly. Black, who led the House for eight years as speaker or co-speaker, also entered an Alford plea to state charges of bribery and obstruction of justice a week after his federal guilty plea.

surd that Employment Security Commission leaders asked tens of thousands of jobless people to return money when it was the agency’s error. The commission, Perdue and the federal government worked out a plan late last week so the workers can keep the money.

rain was recorded over the hours of the late evening Wednesday into the early morning hours of Thursday at the Thomasville Water Plant. Thomasville officials could not be reached for comment Monday. House Bill 1160, which the General Assembly enacted in July 1999, requires that municipalities, animal operations, industries and others who operate waste handling systems issue notifications when a waste spill of 1,000 gallons or more reaches surface waters. The Division of Water Quality was notified of the event on Thursday and is reviewing the matter. For more information, the city of Thomasville can be contacted at 475-4220.

RALEIGH (AP) – Former state House Speaker Jim Black was released Monday from a federal prison where he was serving time for a corruption-related conviction six months before finishing his sentence. Black left the prison in

Jesup, Ga., Monday and will complete his sentence, which ends April 1, at a Charlotte-area halfway house or under house arrest, prison spokeswoman Erin Chalfant said.

Woman whose dad died doesn’t feel pain of others

D

ear Abby: I lost my father suddenly six years ago. He was 56 and I was 25. I had always been Daddy’s girl, and it took me a long time to deal with his death. My problem is I’m unsympathetic to everyone around me now. I’ll give you an example. A woman I work with is 60 and both her parents are still living, although her father is in failing health. She talks endlessly about his poor health and how it takes up all her time. Most people feel bad for her, but I resent the fact that she’s upset that her dad is 86 and dying, when my dad died so young. I feel like I am becoming a cold, unfeeling person and I don’t know how to stop it. Can you help? – Unsympathetic in New York Dear Unsympathetic: I don’t think you are cold, unfeeling or unsympathetic. You may still not be over the loss of your father. The late Dr. Elisabeth KublerRoss broke the grieving process into five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. It might be helpful for you to discuss your concerns with a licensed mental health professional who can help you work this through. And in the meantime, when your co-worker raises the subject of her pain at losing her father – which I’m

ADVICE

sure you identify with – explain that it’s too painful for you to hear and excuse yourself.

Dear Abby

Dear Abby: We have a “situationâ€? at work that is becoming intolerable. Our new boss of four months joins us for our coffee breaks and lunches. It is awkward, to say the least. The other secretaries and I look forward to our breaks as a time to unwind (and talk about the salespeople and our bosses if we need to vent). Now we can’t speak freely. Even worse, the woman has atrocious table manners. She talks the entire time she’s eating – chomping, slurping and spraying food all over. It’s disgusting. We brown-bag our lunches because we can’t afford to eat out. We know we can’t tell our boss she isn’t welcome in the break room. Any ideas on how we can handle this? – Nauseated In Bloomfield, N.J. â– â– â–

Dear Nauseated: Allow me to offer a couple. Schedule your breaks so you aren’t all taking one at once, which will make it more difficult for your new boss to join you. And at lunch, break into groups and take

your brown bags off the premises if possible. That way, all of you won’t have to tolerate her every day. Frankly, I feel sympathy for the woman. She seems lonely and unaware of the fact that an invisible line separates management from staff, that she’s not one of you and is intruding. Dear Abby: When my son and his fiancee have a fight, she comes to cry on my shoulder. She says she doesn’t want to talk to her friends because she doesn’t want them to dislike him. Little does she know how stressful this is for me when I get to hear all the details. How can I put a stop to this without hurting her feelings? – Too Much Information in Iowa Dear Too Much Information: Start by TELLING her how stressful it is when she comes running to you when she and your son argue. Then, explain that as much as you care about her, if she’s going to marry your son, she is going to have to learn to work out her problems with him on her own. You’ll be doing her a favor.

Whooping cough stages return

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My husband has had a cough that seems to have lasted forever. He saw several doctors. Each gave him a different diagnosis and different treatment. None worked. The last doctor believed he had whooping cough and tested him for it. He did have it. The doctor said the cough would go away. He put him on antibiotics, but he said they wouldn’t shorten the cough. Why did he give them to him? Isn’t whooping cough a thing of the past, and wasn’t it a children’s disease? – K.P.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Whooping cough – pertussis is the medical name – used to be a frequent childhood illness. It is highly communicable, and in some infants, it proves to be fatal. The vaccine practically eliminated it. Adults get it, too, even if they were vaccinated in childhood. The vaccine loses its power in five to 10 years. Booster shots are necessary to shield people from the bacterium that causes the illness. The typical course of whooping cough in a youngster consists of a week where the child appears to have cold symptoms. Then the child experiences explosions of a hacking cough that can be so violent that the child vomits after coughing. When the cough calms and the child takes a deep breath in, a highpitched whooping sound is heard. The cough disappears gradually in a month. When treated early with the antibiotics

erythromycin or azithromycin, the course of the infection is shortened. HEALTH Adult whooping Dr. Paul cough is Donohue different. ■■■ No whooping sounds are made. Adults cough and cough, and may do so for months. They are usually seen far too late for antibiotics to do any good. However, the antibiotics are prescribed to stop the spread of the whooping cough bacterium. Whooping cough is making a resurgence. California is experiencing a large number of cases – 1,219 infections as of Aug. 27, 2010. Five infants have died from it. One of the reasons for this is that many parents have opted to not have their children immunized out of fear of vaccine complications. Vaccines have been one of medicine’s greatest achievement in prevention of diseases. Fear of them is unsound and dangerous. Dear Dr. Donohue: On seven occasions, I have had severe pain in my right big toe. It hurts so bad that I feel like going to the emergency room, but I feel stupid about going for toe pain. My uncle has gout and diabetes. Can you have gout without having diabetes? What should I do? – J.P. At your next attack, you should go to a doctor im-

mediately. You can have gout without having diabetes. They’re not related. The pain of gout is severe. You are not the least bit stupid for seeking relief from it. The attacks you have sound like gout. You’ve had seven attacks; you’re likely to have more. You can obtain effective medicine to stop them. Dear Dr. Donohue: My son is 43. When he was 20, he started getting lumps, which the doctors called lipomas. He has them on his whole body in varying sizes, except for on his face. No one else in the family has them. What can be done besides cutting them out? – M.F. Lipomas are mounds of fat encased in a tough covering material. They range in size from a golf ball to two or three times that size. They’re soft, and they are not painful. Surgical removal, at present, provides the best results. If your son has too many for total removal, a select few, the most bothersome ones, can be excised. Research is ongoing to find a substance that will dissolve these fatty tumors. Injection with cortisone medicines can shrink them a bit, but it doesn’t totally get rid of them. The results are somewhat mixed, and it isn’t a popular treatment. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Rick Stanley (left), pictured in 1969 with his stepbrother, Elvis Presley, said of Presley, “He was everything, and then I lost it all.”

The King’s witness Elvis’ stepbrother tells stories of kindness, failures, redemption BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

T

HOMASVILLE – Rick Stanley may have been nearly two decades younger than his famous stepbrother, Elvis Presley, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t tight. For eight years – from 1969 until Elvis’ death in August 1977 – Stanley was his brother’s keeper, serving as Presley’s personal aide and, in many ways, contributing to his promiscuous lifestyle. When Elvis was on the road and wanted a woman, Stanley helped facilitate that. When Elvis craved one of his many prescription medications – to which he was addicted – Stanley kept up with “the kit” that contained the drugs. “I was right in the middle of all that, too,” Stanley says. “I was a pothead, a cokehead Stanley – you name it, I did it – which Elvis was very much against. He didn’t like me doing those kinds of drugs. But he was also there for me when I got in trouble. I’m not proud of it, but when I went to jail, Elvis Presley didn’t send somebody to get me out – he came and got me out himself.” Some 33 years after Elvis’ death, Stanley is still his brother’s keeper, keeping his memory alive by speaking at churches and school assemblies across the country about the years they spent together. There’s one major difference, though. Stanley’s not glorifying his brother – he’s glorifying his Father. “I saw firsthand that Elvis did not like being deified – he didn’t like the idol worship,” explains Stanley, now an evangelist and the founder of Rick Stanley Ministries. “So I try not to draw too much attention to my brother or to myself. I’m just making the Lord the hero – that’s what this is all about.”

SPECIAL | HPE

Rick Stanley (right) is shown with Elvis during a concert. Stanley, whose ministry is based in Calhoun, Ga., will share his inspirational message of hope Saturday evening at Hillside Park Baptist Church in Thomasville. Stanley moved into Elvis’ Graceland mansion in 1960, after his mother, Dee, divorced his father and then married Vernon Presley, Elvis’ father. Stanley was only 6 or 7 years old – and Elvis was 19 years older – but Stanley remembers Elvis showering him and his brothers with gifts and kindness. “I didn’t know anything about him – I was just a little kid – but I met him, and he was so kind. He was more like a father to me, and for some reason we just connected.” When Stanley turned 16, he dropped out of school and went on the road with Elvis, where he quickly became his right-

hand man as a member of Presley’s famed “Memphis Mafia.” He also quickly learned there were certain things – the women, the prescription drugs – that were to remain secrets, he says. “I was so shocked,” Stanley recalls. “My first trip with him, he had to pull me aside and say, ‘By the way, Rick, you’re gonna see some stuff.’” It wasn’t long before Stanley was not only seeing stuff, but doing stuff. Stanley also speaks highly of Elvis’ compassion and kindness for others. “I got to see firsthand the way he lavished attention on people, his generosity,” he says. “To be candid, I learned more about ministry by watching that man than by going to seminary. ... It was an incredible time of discipleship, of learning from a really wonderful man.” So when Elvis died, Stanley’s world fell apart. “For so many years, he was the only good thing that ever came along,” Stanley says. “He was my big brother, my best friend, my buddy. He was everything, and then I lost it all.” Two months later, Stanley accepted Christ at a church in Florida where, as he puts it, “the little boy sat down and the man stood up.” Within a year be began speaking about how God had changed his life, and since then he has spoken at more than 4,000 churches, 1,000 middle and high schools, and hundreds of drug rehab centers and correctional facilities. “I’m unapologetic (about using Elvis’ name to get people to come hear me speak),” Stanley says. “I’m just trying to be a good steward of the story God’s given me, and that’s what this is all about – people coming to know the Lord.”

BRIDGE

Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society: Optimists invented the airplane, a pessimist the parachute. The bridge table also has room for both approaches. Today’s East takes the ace of spades and returns a spade, and South needs four club tricks for nine in all. He must be an optimist and hope East has the queen. If East happens to have the singleton queen, South must be careful to lead a diamond to dummy and return a club, saving the A-9 for a finesse against West’s ten. South would lose an extra trick if West had the bare queen but might save the contract.

HOROSCOPE

tricks no matter what.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 7 6 4 H 7 3 2 D A 6 4 C A 9 4 2. Your partner opens one spade, you raise to two spades and he bids three spades. What do you say? ANSWER: Some pairs would treat partner’s three spades as obstructive. Others would treat it as a try for game; but since partner could instead have bid a new suit, his re-raise implies concern about trump strength. If you either passed, hating your poor spades, or bid four spades, liking your aces, I sympathize. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

High Five stays the same BY MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

HIGH POINT – For the first time this season, The High Point Enterprise High Five prep football poll did not see any changes from the previous week. A light schedule in which the top two teams were idle contributed to the stability. Thomasville (6-0) remained a solid No. 1 in the survey, collecting two of three first-place votes and 14 points overall.

THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE HIGH FIVE

Voting in The High Point Enterprise High Five prep football poll in balloting by the three-member Enterprise sports staff. Five points for first place, four points for second and so on. First-place votes in parenthesis. 1. Thomasville (2) 14 2. HP Central (1) 13 3. Ragsdale 9 4. So. Guilford 6 5. B. McGuinness 2 Others receiving votes: T.W. Andrews 1 High Point Central (5-1, 1-0 in the Piedmont Triad 4A Conference) stayed second in the rankings,

garnering the other firstplace vote and 13 points. Ragsdale held third place with nine points.

The Tigers, 6-1 overall and 2-0 in the PTC 4A, needed a last-minute touchdown pass to defeat East Forsyth 10-7 on Friday night. Southern Guilford stormed past Randleman for a 42-17 victory on Friday night. The Storm (42) maintained a firm grip on fourth place with six points. Bishop McGuinness completed the ratings in fifth place with two points. The Villains (5-1) rolled past North Raleigh Christian for a 31-6 triumph on Friday night.

WHO’S NEWS

All five ranked teams are in conference action this week, creating the potential for more shakeups. Thomasville plays host to Central Davidson, while High Point Central welcomes Northwest Guilford for homecoming, Ragsdale entertains Southwest Guilford, Southern Guilford plays host to Southwestern Randolph, and Bishop welcomes East Surry. mmckinney@hpe.com | 888-3520

Johnson makes national splash BY STEVE HANF SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – When officials with USA Swimming recently released cutoff times for the 2012 Olympic Trials, High Point Christian Academy’s Faith Johnson stood as one of just 65 female competitors across the country with a qualifying time in the 50-meter freestyle. The 15-year-old junior raced to a time of 26.24 seconds in the 50 at the North Carolina Swimming Senior Championships in July. That effort in the longcourse pool bested the cutoff time of 26.39 seconds and currently ranks tied for 48th in the country. “I was ecstatic and couldn’t be happier,” Johnson said of learning the news. “It was part of my dream coming true and made it seem even more likely.” Johnson also is threatening to qualify for the 100-meter free, as her top time of 57.57 seconds is just less than half a second off the cutoff of 57.19. Johnson has competed on year-round swim programs since the age of 8 and with the HPCA team under coaches Sally Nance and Carol Johnson since the seventh grade. Nance and Johnson – Faith’s mother – competed together at East Carolina University and were college All-Americans. Faith Johnson owns conference and N.C. Independent

Schools Athletic Association records in several events and helped the Cougars win the 2A state championship last winter. The 2009-10 high school All-American was nationally ranked in both the 50 free (tied for 40th) and 100 free (88th). Among the nation’s 15-yearold swimmers, Johnson currently stands third in the country in the 50 meters and sixth in the 100 in long-course events and is fourth in the 50-yard and fifth in the 100 at short-course meets. She also earned Scholastic All-American honors for meeting the cut-offs for top times in the pool while owning a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Johnson will continue her year-round training with an eye toward the Winter Junior Nationals in Georgia this December. The USA Swimming Olympic Trials will be contested at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb., from June 25 to July 2, 2012. Knowing that she has a chance to make a splash at the trials and just perhaps reach that goal of Olympic glory certainly makes the long hours in the pool worth it. “It helps to think of when I really don’t want to do a set,” Johnson said of having that qualifying time. “I use it as motivation.” sportsroom@hpe.com | 888-3556

Europe’s Graeme McDowell (center), Ian Poulter, (left) and Francesco Molinari celebrate winning the Ryder Cup at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales on Monday.

Europe regains Ryder Cup NEWPORT, Wales (AP) — Europe reclaimed the Ryder Cup, winning a thriller that went down to the final singles match Monday. The Americans rallied from a three-point deficit to tie the score, bringing the title down to the 12th match. But U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell made a clutch birdie putt at the 16th and was conceded his par putt at No. 17. Hunter Mahan flubbed a chip shot, then missed a last-gasp putt from off the green to save par. The Europeans won 141⁄2131⁄2 to reclaim the cup won by the Americans at Valhalla two years ago. This was the closest Ryder Cup since 1999, when the Americans rallied from a 10-6 deficit at Brookline for a onepoint win. The youngest American, 21year-old Rickie Fowler, gave the visiting team hope of pulling off an improbable comeback when he won the final three holes to halve his match with Edoardo Molinari. Fowler rolled in a 15foot birdie putt at the 17th to extend the match, then made an 18-footer at the final hole to stun the Italian. A few minutes later, Zach Johnson finished off a 3-and-2 win over Padraig Harrington,

evening the score at 131⁄2. That brought it down to McDowell vs. Mahan. The Northern Irishman was 3 up with seven holes left. But he made a bogey at No. 12, and an errant tee shot at the 15th, a short par-4, handed Mahan another hole. With Fowler’s half-point, Mahan merely had to halve his match for a 14-14 tie that would’ve kept the trophy in American hands. But McDowell rolled in a slick, downhill putt from 15 feet at No. 16 for a brilliant birdie at one of the toughest holes on the course. When Mahan made a mess of the 17th, the winner didn’t even have to bother with his final putt. “The U.S. Open felt like a back nine with my dad back at Portrush (his home course in Northern Ireland) compared to this,” McDowell said. “I was nervous. Wow! It’s a different feeling. It’s just so much pressure.” The decision to have McDowell in the anchor spot worked brilliantly for captain Colin Montgomerie. “There was a reason why he was put there,” Ian Poulter said. “He’s the U.S. Open champion. He pulled it off.”

Ben Roethlisberger learned this during his four-week suspension: He’s a lousy spectator. The Steelers discovered something themselves while playing a month without their franchise quarterback: They’re 3-1, but they’re a lot better team with him. Roethlisberger returned to the Steelers on Monday, exchanging hugs and smiles with his teammates and team employees. While they don’t play again until Oct. 17 against Cleveland, he quickly settled back into a routine — offensive coordinator Bruce Arians had drawnup plays waiting for him to review. “I couldn’t wait to get here,” Roethlisberger said. No doubt that paperwork included a lot of pass plays. While the Steelers were a half-minute away from going 4-0 before losing to Baltimore 17-14 on Sunday, their offense wasn’t the same without the two-time Super Bowl winner. The Steelers are a much-improved No. 7 in rushing (133.5 yards per game), but they’re only 30th in passing yardage — and they’re gaining only 2.5 yards per game more passing than rushing. They’re throwing for about 200 yards per game fewer than NFL-leading Denver. “I’ve been saying for years now that I think we need to be a balanced team,” said Roethlisberger. “So I’m not trying to throw the ball 60-70 times a game. Obviously, as a quarterback, you would like that. But if we’re balanced and run and throw and do the things that we need to do effectively, we can be a dangerous football team.”

TOPS ON TV

ppalachian State reigned as king of the Football Championship Subdivision mountain from 2005-2007. The Mountaineers topped the FCD in attendance each of the past three seasons. So far in 2010, they’ve gone 4-0 and averaged 28,963 fans in a pair of games at Kidd Brewer Stadium. These guys are good. ASU showed how good it could be against the NCAA’s top dogs with a stunning upset of Michigan in 2007. But are the Mountaineers ready to make the jump to the Football Bowl Subdivision?

School officials confirmed last week they are studying the feasibility of moving from FCS to FBS. The study could last up to a year. While I understand the lure of the FBS (and the huge dollars generated by the FBS television contracts), I think Appalachian State has a perfect home in the Southern Conference and the FCS. The Mountaineers currently rank as a league- and national-championship contender year in and year out. ASU proudly sports 17 playoff appearances

in the last 24 seasons to go with those three national crowns. Since 1986, the Mountaineers own 10 SoCon championships. They target their sixth in a row this season. Why change such a winning formula? Perhaps Appalachian State will find another perfect home in a FBS conference. Perhaps not. I’m reminded of that catchy TV commercial flooding the airwaves. A bird in the hand can be worth two in the bush.

Davidson County Hall of Fame picks six ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

LEXINGTON -- Joe McIntosh, a former football standout at Lexington High School and N.C. State, is among six who are to be inducted into the Davidson County Sports Hall of Fame on Oct. 16 at the J. Smith Young YMCA The others are longtime officials Louie Cox, and Colin Starrett, youth sports organizer Doug Elmore Sr., Lexington High four-sport star Moe Smith Sr., and Thomasville High three-sport star and former East Davidson athletics director Danny Ward. McIntosh, 47, rushed for more 4,000 yards and 50 touchdowns in four years at Lexington and still ranks second on State’s

rushing list with 3,642 yards. He is currently the director of the Student Success Center at Forsyth Technical Community College in Winston-Salem. A 1957 graduate of Lexington High, Smith was the first foursport letterman in the school’s history, where he played football, basketball, golf and track. In football, he was all-conference, all-state and all-Southern honoree. In one standout season, he rushed for 1,375 yards in just 99 attempts for the Jackets, good for 14 yards per carry. In track, he set a record of 21 feet, 9 inches in the long jump at Lexington. He coached high school football at Lexington, R.J. Reynolds and Albemarle, then in 1971

coached the UNC freshman football team to a 14-1 record. A 1969 graduate of Thomasville High School, Ward was captain of the Bulldog football, baseball and wrestling teams. In 1969 he was named the baseball team’s most valuable player and won the school’s Sportsmanship Award and Best All-Around Athlete Award. As East Davidson’s athletics director from 1984 until his retirement in 2002, Ward turned an aging current and athletic program into a vibrant showcase for the East Davidson community. Starrett, 73, was one of the premier high school and college basketball referees in North Carolina. In a career that spanned 30 years, he officiated

in seven 4-A state championship games, one 3-A state title game and two 2-A state championship games. He also officiated in the 1980 high school allstar game. Additionally, he worked numerous NAIA Carolinas Conference games and called Atlantic Coast Conference freshmen games for two years. As a football referee, Cox called both high school and college games, including 22 years serving as a South Atlantic Conference referee/back judge. He was also the back judge for the 1977 Shrine Bowl game. He further served as a supervisor/ observer of officials and was president of the North State Football Officials Association. Cox called high school bas-

The Atlanta Braves lift manager Bobby Cox after they clinched the National League wild card Sunday in Atlanta. Cox plans to retire after the season.

Playoffs provide tasty mix THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Start with playoff newcomers Roy Halladay and Tim Lincecum. Throw in rocket-armed rookies Aroldis Chapman and Craig Kimbrel. Add a dash from pickups Cliff Lee and Lance Berkman. Mix in banged-up Josh Hamilton and Evan Longoria. Sounds like a pretty tasty October pie. With all the matchups set after Game No. 162 — no tiebreakers necessary this year — baseball launches into the postseason Wednesday. Tampa Bay ace David Price will throw the first pitch against the Texas Rangers, the only current major league franchise that’s never won a playoff series.

The afternoon opener will be played under new rules — Major League Baseball made a change Monday, saying popups that hit the two highest catwalks at Tropicana Field are now dead balls, rather than in play. Next up, the two-time defending NL champion Phillies host Cincinnati. Halladay starts Game 1 against Edinson Volquez, with Philadelphia aces Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels to follow in a formidable rotation. The Reds are making their first postseason appearance since 1995. They rewarded manager Dusty Baker on Monday with a two-year contract extension through 2012. The World Series champion New York Yan-

kees visit Minnesota on Wednesday night for the first postseason game at Target Field. No need to worry about playing outdoors, either — it’s supposed to be sunny with temperatures in the mid70s this week. CC Sabathia, a workhorse throughout the last postseason, starts against Twins lefty Francisco Liriano. After his numbers dropped this year, Derek Jeter hopes to be at his best in October, as he often is. On Thursday, the wildcard Atlanta Braves and retiring manager Bobby Cox begin their best-offive division series at San Francisco. Lincecum, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, pitches for the Giants against Derek Lowe.

Smith unlikely to play against Bears CHARLOTTE (AP) — If things aren’t bad enough for the NFL’s lowest scoring team, now the winless Carolina Panthers are likely without top receiver Steve Smith for at least one game. Smith was limping

Waltrip defends Reutimann CHARLOTTE (AP) — Michael Waltrip defended driver David Reutimann on Monday for intentionally wrecking championship contender Kyle Busch. But the owner of Michael Waltrip Racing found himself walking the fine line of supporting his employee while trying not to alienate one of his team’s most important partners. Both Reutimann and Busch drive Toyotas, and Sunday’s incident at Kansas Speedway hampered the manufacturer’s chance of winning its first Sprint Cup title.

noticeably Monday and wearing a protective boot because of a high ankle sprain. Smith’s agent, Derrick Fox, said the four-time Pro Bowl pick “most likely� will sit out Sunday’s game against Chicago.

Smith repeated coach John Fox’s line of being “day to day,� but also acknowledged his slight chances of a speedy recovery. The Panthers have a bye a week after facing the Bears. “I’m not a doctor, but

if I can’t walk without a boot,� Smith said.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina State’s hot start is history. The Wolfpack’s national ranking slipped away, too — right along with a huge lead. For the first time this year, N.C. State’s humbled team is getting a lesson in dealing with adversity. That presents a new challenge this week: Turning the focus to Boston College and putting last week’s demoralizing loss to Virginia Tech in the past. The Wolfpack (4-1, 1-1

ACC) can’t afford to dwell on their first defeat or the agonizing way it happened, allowing a 17-point lead to evaporate in a mistake-filled second half. “We all needed to feel the defeat, the taste, and I think we’re ready to get back to work now,� receiver Darrell Davis said Monday. “We’ve been winning this whole time, and you kind of need to feel that so you can get back to work and not feel complacent. You get kind of greedy. You don’t work as hard.�

No love in Russia for ‘Canes ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Maxim Sushinskiy scored twice in the third period and SKA St. Petersburg defeated the visiting Carolina Hurricanes 53 in an exhibition game Monday. The loss at the Palace came in Carolina’s final warmup before opening the NHL regular season Thursday against the Minnesota Wild in Helsinki, Finland. The Wild beat Ilves of Tampere 5-1 in Finland

also on Monday. The Hurricanes kept Eric Staal out in the third period but said he was not injured. Konstatin Panov, Maxim Rybin and former NHL star Alexei Yashin also scored for the Russians. Down 2-0 after the first period, Tuomo Ruutu, Patrick Dwyer and rookie winger Jeff Skinner scored for the Hurricanes in the second to tie the score at 3-3 after two periods.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets, Milwaukee and Pittsburgh gave their managers the boot Monday, firing them after disappointing seasons with underperforming teams. The mediocre Mets got rid of manager Jerry Manuel along with general manager Omar Minaya after the team’s fourth consecutive season in which the high-payroll team failed to make the playoffs. Ken Macha was officially dismissed by the Brewers after consecutive losing seasons that following their 2008 postseason appearance as the NL wild card. John Russell was booted by the penurious Pirates after 299 defeats in three seasons, which extended the woebegone franchise’s consecutive losing years to a major league record 18. That raised the total of managers losing their jobs this year to seven. Russell was given a stripped-down roster, then blamed for records of 67-95 in 2008, 62-99 in 2009 and 57-105 this season. The only other manager in the Pirates’ 124-season history with so many losses in so few seasons was Fred Haney, who was 163-299 from 1953-55.

He was also instrumental in bringing the first swimming pool to the Reeds community.

Pending home sales rise in August WASHINGTON (AP) – The number of people who signed contracts to buy homes rose in August for the second straight month but remained far below last year’s pace. The weak economy and fears that prices will fall are keeping many consumers away from the housing market. The National Association of Realtors said Monday that its seasonally adjusted index of sales agreements for previously occupied homes rose 4.3 percent to a reading of 82.3. That’s still more than 20 percent below the pace in the same month a year earlier. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected the index would rise to 81.4. The index provides an early measurement

Toyota says vehicles fixed under recalls WASHINGTON – Toyota says it has fixed about 3.7 million vehicles in the United States that have been part of the company’s massive safety recalls. Toyota says in a progress update Monday that customer complaints about unintended acceleration made to its consumer hotline have fallen considerably since April.

Gasoline, oil start the week with a rally NEW YORK – Retail gasoline prices rose Monday and oil prices rallied to the highest level in two months, though analysts say weak energy demand likely will push prices lower during the last three months of the year. Benchmark crude for November delivery added 10 cents at $81.68 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Fed swears in two new members WASHINGTON – Two new members have been installed on the Federal Reserve, which has enormous power over Americans’ pocketbooks. Janet Yellen becomes vice chairwoman, the Fed’s second-highest ranking official, and Sarah Bloom Raskin is now a governor. Both were sworn into their jobs on Monday. They were tapped by President Barack Obama to fill vacancies on the Fed’s seven-member board in Washington. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

of sales activity because there is usually a one- to two-month lag between a sales contract and a completed deal. A reading of 100 indicates the average level of sales activity in 2001, when the index started. The reading was above that threshold from March 2003 through April 2007. It sank during the recession, only to surge above 100 a year ago when the government first offered tax incentives to spur sales. When the credits expired in April, the index sank. “With underlying economic conditions still so weak, a robust housing recovery remains highly unlikely,” Paul Dales, U.S. economist with Capital Economics, wrote in a research note. The sales report was driv-

en by a nearly 7 percent jump in the South, a 6 percent increase in the West and a 2 percent rise in the Midwest. Pending sales fell nearly 3 percent in the Northeast. High unemployment, weak job growth and tight credit have hurt the housing market, despite the lowest mortgage rates in decades. Sales picked up in the spring when the government was offering some homebuyers tax credits of up to $8,000. Once the incentives expired April 30, sales plunged. Potential buyers are holding off on purchases because they are worried about jobs and the economy. Many have been scared away by the prospect that home prices could fall again – something most analysts expect.

China calls for more Asian clout BRUSSELS (AP) – The surging economies of the East should be granted more power in the traditionally Western-dominated global financial institutions, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said Monday at the opening of the EuroAsian summit. The start of the twoday 48-nation meeting, set amid the high security and gilded opulence at the Belgian royal palace, underscored the Asian nations’ demands for a rebalancing of international structures as they lead the world out of recession. Wen stressed that Asian leaders expect Europe to give up some of its seats at the International Monetary Fund. “We need to improve the decision-making process and mechanisms of the international financial insti-

tutions, increase the representation and voice of developing countries, encourage wider participation,” Wen told the other leaders seated around an oval table. “We must explore ways to establish a more effective global economic governance system,” he said. Held in an old-world palace flush with crystal chandeliers and pillars, Wen and some other Asian leaders made it clear that Asia would start making its robust economic growth count on the global stage. Cambodian President Hun Sen stressed the Asian economies should be recognized for leading the global economic recovery. While demand in the EU and U.S. economies was once the driver of growth, it is in decline compared to demand growth in Asia.

Expansions to yield 241 NC jobs RALEIGH (AP) – Two companies plan to create 241 jobs over the next four years in North Carolina as they expand production of a new insulin device for people with diabetes. Gov. Beverly Perdue announced Monday that Novo Nordisk and Nypro Inc. will expand plant employment in Johnston and Buncombe counties through a $161 million investment. Novo Nordisk will add 85 jobs at its Clayton

plant to increase production of an insulin delivery device. Nypro will hire more people in Asheville to make plastic and assemble the device. Perdue’s office said companies have received $600,000 in grants from the governor’s One North Carolina Fund to encourage the expansion. Novo Nordisk also can receive an additional $840,000 if they follow through with the extra jobs and investment.

Stocks lose last month’s steam NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks fell Monday as investors took a pause from a historic rally in September and held back ahead of a busy week of economic and earnings reports. The Dow Jones industrial average lost nearly 80 points after factory orders fell slightly more than expected in August and contracts for new homes remained far below last year’s pace. Analysts say the market was due for a pullback following a 10.4 percent gain in the Dow last month. In corporate news, American Express Co. sank 6.5 percent after the Justice Department hit the credit card company with an antitrust suit. The government also sued MasterCard and Visa but announced proposed settlements with those two. Doug Roberts, chief investment strategist at Channel Capital Research, said the market has been trading in a broad range over the past six months. With it approaching the high end of that range, a pullback is not surprising, he said. The market has been “alternating between euphoria and despair,” Roberts said of the wide trading range dating back to late April, when stocks hit their high for the year.

Sanofi-Aventis launches Genzyme takeover battle press release its board would review the offer, “together with its independent financial and legal advisors, and will advise shareholders of its formal position� within 10 business days. Chris Viehbacher, Sanofi’s chief executive officer, told analysts and reporters during morning conference calls that he decided to go straight to shareholders because Genzyme management “refused to engage in constructive discussions� despite several attempts by his company. The offer to Genzyme shareholders opened Monday and runs to

Dec. 10. Viehbacher said he is “confident the offer will be successful.� Genzyme would give Sanofi a new platform for growing its biotech business, enable it to expand into the growing – and lucrative – market for drugs for rare diseases, increase its U.S. presence and give it more experimental drugs in midand late-stage testing. The acquisition could “unlock value for both sets of shareholders, so I think it would be a real shame to walk away,� Viehbacher said, “but again all options are on the table.�

Drugmaker wants halt to RJR test-market sales consumers but has concerns that the marketing and shape of the dissolvable products may be appealing to children and adolescents. GSK’s request strikes at the core of Reynolds’ attempt to create a reputation as an innovator of products that could be less harmful to consumers

than cigarettes. Reynolds recently bought a company, Niconovum, which specializes in smoking-cessation products. It also is likely to stoke further debate between two sets of anti-smoking groups. One set says smokeless tobacco serves as gateway products for teenagers to

PARIS (AP) – France’s SanofiAventis on Monday launched an $18.5 billion hostile takeover attempt for Genzyme Corp., escalating the battle after management of the U.S. biotech company twice rejected its offer. At $69 per share, the offer for Genzyme, based in Cambridge, Mass., is unchanged from the friendly bid that Paris-based Sanofi-Aventis made privately to management in July and publicly disclosed in August, only to be rejected. Genzyme promptly urged shareholders to take no action, saying in a

WINSTON-SALEM – The battle lines are being drawn over the marketplace potential of smokeless tobacco products. The consumer healthcare division of GlaxoSmithKline – one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies – fired a salvo last week across the bow of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. GSK, which sells nicotine-replacement therapy products Nicorette and NicoDerm, is requesting that the Food and Drug Administration take Reynolds’ dissolvable tobacco products out of test markets. “Smokeless tobacco products are currently being marketed without clear evidence of their safety,� GSK said in a statement. Those same products – Camel Orbs, Camel Sticks and Camel Strips – are being reviewed by the FDA’s Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee. The FDA acknowledges that Reynolds is marketing the products to adult
