Sprinklers could be costly Proposal may mean big bucks for furniture companies BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A proposal from the National Association of State Fire Marshalls could cost some local furniture retail stores and manufacturers big bucks in efforts to increase safety. The NASFM has proposed a change to the model building code that would mandate sprinklers in all buildings used for the manufacture, storage or retail sale of upholstered furniture or mattresses. The change would be retroactive, mean-

ing existing structures without sprinklers would have to be retrofitted with automatic sprinkler systems. Renovations would have to be covered by individual property owners, which could cost up to $6 per square foot, according to American Home Furnishings Alliance, or AHFA. A 3,000-square-foot showroom may cost $18,000 for the installation of an automatic sprinkler system. “This would be a phenomenal expense,” said Larry Dunn, vice president of Rominger Furniture on 1201 N. Liberty St. in Winston-Salem. “It’s going to devastate a lot of stores in this business.” PAM HAYNES | HPE Dunn, whose company owns the 3,000square-foot retail store, said he was per- Local furniture retailers, including Steve Patalano, vice

Candidates divided on term lengths. 2A

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Thomasville City Council members who support a proposal to lengthen terms of council members from two to four years say it will keep potential candidates from having to run expensive campaigns every two years. But as of the end of last week, no candidates run-

ning in Thomasville’s municipal election have passed the $3,000 threshold where they have to report campaign spending to the Davidson County Board of Elections. And at least two incumbents have spent $35 or less so far. Ruth Huneycutt, director of the Davidson County Board of Elections, said candidates don’t usually pass the threshold, as they “usually do more personal contact than they do spending money.” However, those campaign signs you see in the Chair City do come at a price. According to a random sampling by the High Point

Enterprise, candidates vying for all seven of the City Council seats and mayor’s spot have spent amounts ranging from $10 to $1,500. A majority of those campaign funds are coming from the pockets of the candidates themselves to purchase items, such as signs. Using campaign signs from last year, Councilman David Yemm has spent $35. In 2007, Yemm funded his $2,000 campaign primarily through contributions, while only spending $100 of his own. Ricky Murphy, a longtime councilman, said he has spent only the $10 needed to file for his candi-

dacy. Like Yemm, Murphy is using materials from previous campaigns. George Burton and Scott Styers, both City Council incumbents, said they had spent about $1,100. Styers said he has been given $300 in contributions, while Burton said had received “very little” in contributions. “I think signs have a big impact on people who don’t necessarily always follow the issues closely,” said Styers, who spent nearly $3,000 in his 2007 campaign. “They recognize the signs and the names. Often that’s one of the folks who they vote for.” Jay Browning, a City

Council candidate, has used about $700 for his campaign, with about half coming from friends and family. “Being a new candidate and maybe not being as familiar as some of the people who are already in office, we felt we wanted to get some signs that would stand out a little bit better,” Browning said. Ronald Bratton, the former police chief who is running for City Council, said he has spent $500, with less than $100 coming from contributions. Bratton said he hopes he doesn’t spend more than a $1,000. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

City Council OKs loan for JobLink center BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The City Council on Monday approved a financing arrangement that will enable a local job resource center to upgrade its presence in High Point. During its meeting, the High Point City Council adopted a resolution authorizing city officials to borrow money for the purchase of a 24,000-square-foot building at 607 Idol St. to house the Guilford County Workforce Development Board. The loan from BB&T Governmen-

tal Finance carries a 3.89 percent interest rate for 10 years, and the total repayment over the life of the loan will be $2.408 million. Council members Bill Bencini and Chris Whitley opposed the resolution. Under the arrangement, the city will not face any non-reimbursable expenses because the city will lease the facility to the Workforce Development Board and the North Carolina Employment Security Commission, which plans to move its local office to the site. The board, which operates the JobLink career cen-

ter system in the county, has been at Guilford Technical Community College’s High Point campus since 1997. The new, larger site will have classrooms for skills-training programs and other resources for jobseekers. Final approval of the arrangement is contingent on the North Carolina Local Government Commission signing off on it. Also Monday, council approved an ordinance providing for a change in control of Lexcom Communications cable television franchise to Windstream Corp. Lexcom,

based in Lexington, serves about 11,000 customers in High Point, Thomasville, Lexington and other portions of Davidson County. Arkansas-based Windstream, which has about 3 million customers primarily in rural areas in 16 states, is purchasing Lexcom. The Piedmont Triad Council of Governments reviewed the transaction and made a positive recommendation for it, finding there will be no impact on the management of the current franchise or on cable rates. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Vehicle crashes with deer have increased statewide MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

More drivers struck deer with their vehicles while traveling on Lenoir County roadways in 2008, as compared to the previous year. A new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found that crashes reported to police involving deer last year on roadways in the state increased to 19,693, up from 19,277 in 2007. “Deer crashes continue to be a growing concern for motorists in North Carolina,” David Harkey, UNC director of highway research, said. “In five years, since 2004, we’ve seen a 27 percent increase in deer-related crashes, while total crashes during the same period decreased by 7 percent.” There were 265 reported cases of vehicle crashes with deer in Lenoir County for 2008, which had 243 reported cases in 2007. For Greene County, there were fewer reported vehicle accidents with deer in 2008, as compared to 2007. Greene had 126 re-

who can’t afford” to spend large amounts of money. City Council members, such as George Burton, have raised the argument that it takes more than two years for a new member to get their “feet wet.” “It will take a new council member a minimum of two years to learn the procedures and what he needs to do as a councilman and go through the workshops and the education he needs to know as far as getting to know the budget,” Burton said. Ronald Bratton, who is running for City Council, said he doesn’t believe the issue is the cost of campaigns, but an issue of maintaining continuity with the governing body. “Theoretically, everybody could be voted out in one election,” Bratton said. “I see that as a major problem. I think personally four-year terms would probably be better, but I think we will leave that to the voters to make a decision on whether they want four-year or two-year terms.”

Steve Patalano, vice president of Red House Furniture at 502 S. Elm St., also spoke in opposition of the proposal. “You don’t do things like this with the way the economy is,” he said. “You don’t force businesses to spend money.” Larger retailers such as the Theodore Alexander Outlet at 2020 W. Green Drive are equipped with the sprinkler systems due to state regulations. Sue Kurtz, manager of the store, said she understood both the safety concerns of the NASFM and the financial concerns of property owners. The proposal will go before the International Code Council, or ICC.

BOTTOM LINE

ported cases in 2008 with 145 in 2007 while Jones County had 100 in 2008 and 98 in 2007. According to the UNC study, of the total reported automobile crashes in North Carolina in 2008, deer were cited as a factor in nearly 10 percent of the accidents. Fifty percent of all deer-related crashes occurred during the months of October, November and December. Counties with the highest number of deer crashes in 2007 and 2008 were Guilford, Rockingham, Duplin, Pitt and Mecklenburg. Maj. Chris Hill of the Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office said his deputies frequently hit deer while patrolling the county’s roadways. The number of collisions became so frequent that deputies began using Rhino Guards on the front of their vehicles to help minimize damage sustained in deer collisions. The guards are attached to the vehicles’ front bumper and grills. They prevent deer from hitting the deputies’ vehicles directly.

Is our public school property properly insured? While High Pointers argue back and forth on this page about matters of opinion (religion and politics), I choose to address a few facts and ask two questions. Some person or group of persons failed to insure properly the old Eastern Guilford High School building, and, consequently, the taxpayers got stuck with a large bill for rebuilding the facility. Adequate hazard insurance premiums would have been far less costly to the taxpayers. My first question is this: Did anyone bother to insure fully the new Eastern Guilford High School building – and other buildings funded by taxpayers? My second question: Did the bureaucrats who failed to secure adequate insurance for the incinerated building ever receive their Mensa membership? JODY MCGHEE High Point

Both Burr and Coble are in agreement with me. They think we need an improved health program but both are opposed to a government takeover health care plan. They assured me they would read carefully any bill before they voted on it. Burr also stated that should a bill creating a government-run

The High Point Enterprise is committed to this community ... and always will serve it by being an intensely local newspaper of excellent quality every day.

hese days, it can be difficult for newspaper readers to tell the difference between the state news section, the gossip page, and the crime blotter. Many of the controversies and investigations surrounding former Gov. Mike Easley remain unresolved, with State Board of Elections hearings scheduled to commence in late October. Sen. R.C. Soles of Columbus County remains the subject of what is reportedly a wide-ranging probe of alleged criminal and personal wrongdoing. Rep. Ty Harrell of Wake County has just resigned after authorities pointed to irregularities in his campaign-finance reports. And divisions within two state departments are now under investigation for accepting pricey meals and other gifts from private vendors. Of course, these and other recent stories about official mistakes, lapses, or wrongdoing involve only a small fraction of North Carolina’s state employees and politicians. Are the state’s journalists pursuing front-page exposes and broadcast exclusives at the expense of covering more-important stories? I know there’s a large chunk of the political class who thinks so. I think such critics are mistaken. Ensuring that government operates as openly, honestly, and fairly as possible is more than just a worthy cause. It’s an imperative. When political insiders abuse governmental power and waste taxpayer money, they strike at the very heart of what makes free societies free, and what separates modern liberal democracies from the corrupt states that have dominated human life since the dawn of history. Nobel Laureate and economist Douglass North has just published a new book with coauthors John Joseph Wallis and Barry Weingast entitled “Violence and Social Orders.” The authors distinguish between two mature forms of government: natural states and open-order states.

Former Davidson County Sheriff Gerald Hege says he’s considering running for the post he resigned in 2004. Should he? In 30 words or less (no name, address required) e-mail your thoughts to letterbox@hpe.com. Here are three responses: • I hope he does run again, he will get my vote and a whole lot more I know of. • No. No to Hege. As a volunteer trying to get the animal shelter built, he was very rude and antagonistic toward us. He is only out for himself. • We have enough crooks in office in our country. We don’t need another one, Gerald Hege. He did enough when he was in. Nothing is wrong with our Sheriff Grice.

Both accomplish the primary function of government, according to Douglass and his colleagues: to restrain the use of violence in society. But the openorder state allows for the creation of far more wealth, OPINION health, and happiness. What’s the distinction? John To put it simply, in natuHood ral states the offices and ■■■ benefits of government are distributed by coalitions of ruling elites according to kinship, patronage, or tribal membership. Think ancient pharaohs, medieval kings, and modern sheikdoms and banana republics. In open-order states, the relationship between public officials and others is impersonal. No matter who you are, if you fall into the proper category you have the same experience as everyone else. If you have the same economic means as your neighbor, you pay the same tax – even if he knows the governor personally and you don’t. Political corruption is a serious impediment to social wellbeing and economic development. Even the appearance of impropriety, the perception that greasing the right palms will get you contracts or tax breaks or special treatment, disrupts the ability of government to deliver the social order that is its chief object. Sure, there are other important stories to cover in North Carolina. But until significant progress is made against the entrenched political corruption in our state, it should continue to compel our utmost attention. No matter what you think government should do, a corrupt government will never do it well. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

Media must keep pressure on to clear up corruption

No argument: Stimulus impact T is long-term he nearly $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed by the Democratic Party-controlled Congress is having an impact on the area landscape. A new fire station at Piedmont Triad International Airport would not have been possible without federal stimulus funds, a PTIA official said. In High Point, several street and sewer improvement projects and energy efficiency measures and funding for housing and community development projects would not have been possible or would have been delayed significantly longer without stimulus grants. So, cash is flowing, although reports indicate that only about a third of the stimulus package total has been spent so far. An Enterprise series Sunday and Monday, reported that, as expected, politicians still are arguing about the stimulus money’s impact, eight months after the act was approved. Democrats cite some indicators of an improved economy while Republicans focus on continued high unemployment rates. But the stimulus plan’s greatest impact will be felt long in the future – the pain of accounting for the money being spent right now. Whether the federal government decides to print more money, borrow more money or raise more taxes to pay off this spending spree, the impact will be felt. That’s why members of Congress and the administration now should begin thinking about reining in stimulus spending plans. Perhaps President Obama was correct that a spending boost could help the economy instead of simply letting it adjust itself. But Republicans in Congress certainly were correct that the nearly $800 billion package was excessive. Just as High Point officials were wise to use stimulus money for one-time expenditures, federal officials should be wise and begin turning off the spigot to lessen the long-term damage that this planned overindulgence will produce.

Society of North Carolina at our Beach Music Blasts. Almost 7,000 people came out for dancing and fun! We appreciate them and the many people who made these events possible. CHSNC, and the children whom we serve, profited greatly. Established in 1902, our goal is to provide permanent, safe and loving homes to children without them. When Tom Lineberry (CHS) began talking with Aaron Clinard, Jim Morgan and Wendy Fuscoe of The City Project, everyone was ready to step in to help bring this event to High Point. Stan Clinard graciously offered the venue. We needed a big sponsor, though. Thankfully, Tim Ilderton made that possible. High Point City Manager Strib Boynton enlisted our firefighters, police department, city workers and sanitation department, who provided untold hours to make our event a success. Pack Rat provided much needed storage. The High Point Enterprise and Magic 94.1 helped to get the word out. Fourteen fine restaurants in the area contributed their time and culinary skills

to provide tastings for everyone. I wish to thank them all and to encourage the readers to support these local merchants! When people were leaving on the final Thursday night, we had untold requests for more BMB events. They will be provided next year! CHSNC is very appreciative of the community’s financial support. If anyone is interested in finding out more about adopting children in North Carolina, they may contact our agency located in Greensboro at 336-274-6176. We will be happy to talk with them or to a group with which they are affiliated.

Indonesia calls off search for missing survivors PADANG, Indonesia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Helicopters dropped instant noodles and other aid to cutoff hillside communities that were without food for five days, as rescue workers gave up their search Monday for survivors from last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive Indonesian earthquake. When all the bodies are counted and the missing declared dead, the death toll from Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7.6magnitude quake in Sumatra island is expected to be in the thousands. The official toll currently is 609. A measure of normalcy returned to Padang, the devastated capital of West Sumatra province. Hundreds of children went back to classes in schools.

Farmers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cry over spilled milk in Brussels BRUSSELS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Farmers drove hundreds of tractors and a lone cow to the heart of the European Union bureaucracy on Monday, pelting police with bottles and chickens and dumping milk and manure onto the streets of Brussels in a protest against collapsing milk prices. Over 2,500 farmers from across the EU burned tires and hay outside an emergency meeting of farm ministers. They sprayed milk from huge canisters, and the cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s udder, on a square close to the meeting. The jittery cow was frightened by firecrackers, sprang loose and chased an office worker down the street.

Pakistani police commandos stand guard at the main entry gate of the U.N. food agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office after a suicide bombing in Islamabad, Pakistan on Monday.

Bomb kills 5 at Pakistan U.N. office ISLAMABAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A suicide bomber disguised as a security officer struck the lobby of the U.N. food agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pakistan headquarters Monday, killing five people a day after the new leader of the Pakistani Taliban vowed fresh assaults, authorities and witnesses said. The blast raises questions as to how the bomber managed to evade tight security at the heavily fortified World Food Program compound in the capital, Islamabad. It could also hamper the work of WFP and other

aid agencies assisting Pakistanis displaced by army offensives against al-Qaida and the Taliban in their strongholds close to the Afghan border. Hours after the attack, the world body said it was closing its offices in Pakistan temporarily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a heinous crime committed against those who have been working tirelessly to assist the poor and vulnerable on the front lines of hunger and other human suffering in Pakistan,â&#x20AC;? U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters in Geneva.

BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A suicide bomber killed at least six mourners at a funeral for a member of a prominent tribe with ties to both security forces and insurgents in western Iraq on Monday, a police official said. The bomber detonated an explosive belt inside a funeral tent in the mostly Sunni area of Haditha, about 140 miles northwest of Baghdad. At least 15 people were injured, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to media. The funeral was for a member of the al-Jaghaifa tribe, which is split between members of the police and military and supporters of the Sunni insurgency.

1 in custody after gunman reported on Florida campus

President Barack Obama shakes hands with doctors after making remarks on health care reform in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington on Monday.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The University of South Florida was locked down Monday after someone reported a man with a gun and a bomb near the library, and police had one person in custody. There were no immediate reports of shots fired or injuries, and it was not clear whether the person in custody was tied to the original report and whether that report was real or a hoax.

Campus police said they asked the Tampa police bomb team to investigate the belongings of the person taken into custody. A second person reported to be carrying a knife on campus was detained Monday afternoon, but police said they believe that was unrelated. The first call came in at 1:36 p.m. to the Hillsborough County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, which transferred it to campus police.

Obama pitches overhaul to doctors event gave him another chance to frame the debate on his terms as his top domestic priority enters its most critical phase with legislation moving toward floor debates in the Senate and the House. The Senate Finance Committee is expected to clear its long-debated,

intensely scrutinized bill this week. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said a vote originally expected by today has been pushed back, because the Congressional Budget Office is still crunching cost and coverage numbers. The latest version of the Finance bill will cover

HIGH POINT – Put it under the heading of some crooks will steal anything. In this case, it’s the lone truck used by Habitat for Humanity of High Point, Archdale and Trinity to pick up critical donations that support the local, ecumenical housing ministry, which builds homes for low-income people. The Habitat truck was stolen between 3 p.m. Saturday and early Monday morning from its parking spot at W. English Road and Westpoint Boulevard, said agency Executive Director Susan Wood. It’s the second time in three months that the truck has been taken, she said. The truck was stolen during the Fourth of July holiday weekend, but Guilford County Sheriff’s Department deputies were able to recover it within a couple of weeks, Wood said Monday. During this past weekend or early Monday, it appears thieves shattered the driver’s side window to steal

This picture provided by Habitat for Humanity shows the panel truck that was stolen. the vehicle, she said. The High Point Police Department has put out a bulletin to other law enforcement agencies with a description of the truck, said police Lt. Steve Myers. This year is the first time in eight years the truck has been stolen, Wood said. “This is one of the worst possible times it could happen. The two weeks before the furniture market, we pick up a lot of furniture market samples,” said Wood, whose agency is supported from sales

through a bargain store. “It’s really an essential time for our store. It helps us restock our donations.” Habitat is seeking a replacement truck and will try to get by on a rented vehicle in the interim. The theft is covered through insurance, Wood said. “But it’s going to be harder to rent a truck closer to market. And if we have to pay to rent one, it’s money going away from building homes,” she said. On Monday, local officials with the U.S.

Anyone with information about the theft of the truck, which was parked at English Road and Westpoint Boulevard, is asked to call High Point Crimestoppers at 889-4000.

CAROLINAS THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2009 www.hpe.com

RALEIGH (AP) – A former North Carolina body parts harvester was sentenced to eight years in prison Monday for what prosecutors described as a heinous fraud scheme in which he falsified medical records of cadavers so tissues could be sold for transplant. Philip Guyett Jr., 42, pleaded guilty to three counts of mail fraud in March. Prosecutors said he went to great lengths to conceal medical problems of cadavers he gathered in Las Vegas and then in Raleigh, using fake blood samples and hiding details about cancer, drug use or a case of hepatitis C. Investigators said Guyett showed no respect for the bodies he was entrusted to handle, and one sobbing woman at the sentencing yelled

across the quiet courtroom, “He’s a butcher!” Guyett broke into tears several times, declaring that he had made a “dumb decision” in trying to get rid of tissues as his business was failing. U.S. District Court Judge Earl Britt showed no sympathy. He went above the sentencing guidelines while blasting Guyett for his questionable testimony on the stand and for actions that inflicted clear emotional distress on victims. Britt also stunned the courtroom by immediately sending Guyett into custody, dismissing his request for time to say goodbye to his two young children. Guyett said he assumed that processors and other medical experts would catch any problems with the tissues he was providing, which prosecutors disputed.

Court delays hearing in Thomas Built names Carolinas’ water lawsuit winners of essay contest WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has postponed arguments in a dispute over water between North Carolina and South Carolina. The court said Monday the delay is due to an illness in the family of a lawyer who was scheduled to argue the case. The court has not set a new date for arguments. South Carolina wants the nation’s highest court to keep utilities and municipalities out of the case,

saying they would prolong the case and increase costs. The action is the latest in a battle over the Catawba River basin. In 2007, South Carolina filed a federal lawsuit seeking to stop North Carolina from draining the watershed. The court has appointed a special master to help resolve the dispute. Last year, that special master allowed the city of Charlotte, N.C., Duke Energy and a water system to enter the case.

Dispute over bed-making Pastor Appreciation centers on a pillow fight D featured in

ear Abby: “Pillow Talk in Abilene” (July 24) had to have been written by my husband, Dick. I went looking for him and asked if he had written to you. When I held up your column, he was shocked. We laughed so hard I had trouble reading the piece to him. This scenario must be universal. I make the bed with the pillow opening on the outside; Dick makes it with the opening on the inside. We always thought it was funny because we do many things differently. Thanks for the dose of morning humor. – Pat and Dick in Spring Hill, Fla. Dear Pat and Dick: I’m pleased to have started your morning on a light note. Read on for more – as well as some practical explanations: Dear Abby: There’s a very good reason why the open end of the pillow faces the inside of the bed. When I was 3 or 4, I realized that placing the open end toward the inside would prevent monsters from getting into my pillow. It has worked like a charm for 55 years. – Resting Easy in Kansas Dear Abby: I was in the military, and bedmaking is one of the things you learn in boot camp, in addition to how to properly fold T-shirts, underwear and bras – yes, folding bras. The

mantra for placing pillowcases is, “Seam and Slack to the Center of the Rack,” open end ADVICE to the left (which Dear indicates Abby the outside ■■■ edge of the bed). So there you go – straight from Uncle Sam himself. – Shellie in Chicago

Dear Abby: It sounds to me that “Pillow Talk” and his wife have too much time on their hands. If all they have to do is debate which way to turn the pillows when they make the bed, how do they feel about the epidemic of belly-button lint? What difference does it make which way the pillow edges are turned? They’re usually hidden by a comforter or spread anyway. – Practical in Winston-Salem, N.C. Dear Abby: In nursing school we were taught that the opening of the pillowcase should face away from the entrance to the room. The reason is when you walk, germs and particles from the floor are kicked up and can enter the side of the pillow, which increases the potential for infections and disease through the capture of microorganisms in the pillow opening. – Sandy in Arizona Dear Abby: I didn’t

think your readers could top (or bottom) the great toilet paper debate (over the front or under the back), but the question about the direction of the pillowcase opening has done it. Most of us are preoccupied with worrying about health care, the economy, the two wars we are fighting, our jobs and putting food on the table. That couple needs to get a life! – John W., Lexington, Ky.

Dear Abby: As a young girl I was taught the “proper” way to make a bed was with the pillowcase opening facing the edge of the bed – not the middle. Back then, this was done so leaking feathers wouldn’t end up inside the bed but on the floor. – Inger in Portsmouth, N.H. Dear Abby: My husband and I had the same argument, until he explained why he wanted the edges facing out. When he put his arm under me to “spoon,” he would get caught in the pillowcase if it faced in. We solved the problem by making the bed up for “looks,” but when we turn it down for the night, we flip the pillow around. Now we’re both happy! – Mindy in New Mexico DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

BY BOB FORMAN

f you feel like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more room to get around these days in High Point, it could be that since the start of the Get Healthy High Point campaign in January, fellow residents and workers have lost more than 1,000 pounds in body weight. That half-ton is a great start to our citywide disease prevention crusade, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got one more challenge to go for the year. Managing body weight is essential in controlling the incidence and severity of chronic disease such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer and heart disease, to name just a few. Lightening the load can reduce the risk of joint pain and replacement, while improving the way you look and feel can help with depression and self-esteem. Losing weight, as we all know, is big business in the United States, with billions of dollars spent each year on quick-fix remedies. Unfortunately, obesity rates continue to climb despite this outlay. Most folks are coming to the realization, thanks to popular TV shows such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Biggest Loser,â&#x20AC;? that weight loss requires a little bit of work. Increasing physical activity, not quite at the intensity as the popular TV show, and being a bit more selective on the food choices are the one-two punch necessary for effective, lasting results. Being consistent with these two lifestyles guarantees success. Having a vehicle, such as a personal trainer or being part of a team, to help motivate and provide resources for improvement enhances the experience and makes it easier to stay committed. Get Healthy High Point is that vehicle. The next team challenge begins with a kickoff event at 6 p.m. Monday in Millis Regional Health Education center, across N. Elm Street from the hospital. This, like all campaign challenges, is open to anyone who lives or works in High Point, and there are no fees. The program is free. For more details, contact The Fitness Center at High Point Regional at 878-6221.

Swine flu is not doomsday

What can I recommend to my grandchildren in their 20s or children in their 40s? Should a person wear a mask in public? -- S.B.

Every few years, a new infectious disease pops up that becomes a source of public terror. This is happening with the swine flu virus, H1N1. Actually, it’s not a new virus. Epidemics of it occurred in 1957 and 1977, and you made it through those years without batting an eye. You should make it through a return visit too. Today’s column was written well before the date of publication, so some advice may have changed. The signs of H1N1 flu are the same as ordinary flu: fever, cough, sore throat, backaches, muscle aches, headaches and chills. It is transferred from one person to another through coughing and sneezing. People should always cover their mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, and dispose of the tissue in a proper receptacle. The nonsick should wash hands frequently and make a determined effort not to touch their eyes, mouth, lips or nose with their fingers -another possible route of transmission. A vaccine is scheduled for availability in midOctober. Pregnant women, members of a household or institution who

are in contact with children less than 6 months old, those w h o s e ages are HEALTH between 6 months and Dr. Paul 24 years, Donohue health care ■■■ workers and people between the ages of 25 and 65 who have illnesses that put them at high risk of infections are the targets for this vaccine. You’ll notice older people are not targets. That’s because these people are relatively protected from the H1N1 virus due to past experience with it. Older people are targets for regular flu virus, however. The reliability of the four flu medicines -- Tamiflu, Relenza, Symmetrel and rimantadine -- is in doubt, but it might be that these medicines could be effective when used in combination. Swine flu isn’t caught from pork or pork products. Wearing a mask in public isn’t likely to provide any significant protection. Dear Dr. Donohue: Once atherosclerosis develops in an artery, is there a medical (nonsurgical) way to reduce or eliminate the plaque? -- J.E. Atherosclerosis (ATHuh-row-skluh-ROW-siss) is artery hardening. It’s an accumulation of plaque -- a buildup of cholesterol and other fats in

the walls and lining of arteries. It’s the No. 1 medical problem for all of us. It begins at young ages and progresses rapidly after age 50. It’s the basis for heart attacks, strokes and peripheral artery disease. It blocks blood flow to organs and tissues. Atherosclerosis can be reversed, but it takes herculean efforts. A diet that emphasizes grains, fruits and vegetables, dedication to exercise, staying on the lean side, maintaining normal blood pressure and guarding against diabetes are some of the things that can slow progression of artery hardening and reverse it when they are done with great resolve. Often, cholesterol-lowering medicines are needed. Dear Dr. Donohue: On Dec. 5, 1989, at age 69, I had my aortic valve replaced with a pig valve. I was discharged from the hospital in six days. Before the operation, I became severely breathless on pushing my lawn mower only 18 feet. The doctor who operated on me said the valve should last 14 years. My daughter’s doctor said 12 to 14 years. What kind of time limit do you give, Dr. Donohue? At age 88, I want to make it to age 90. -- V.C. The average life of a pig aortic valve is 15 years. That’s an average. Some people’s valves last much longer. You have had your valve for almost 20 years. It’s working well. That speaks tons of optimism that your valve should get you into your 90s.

Anti-abortion protesters stand outside the Supreme Court in Washington on Monday. in prison about the allegations more than two years later, Shatzer waived his rights, made incriminating statements, failed a polygraph test and was eventually convicted. Lower courts

threw out his confession because he asked for an attorney when he was first questioned in 2003. Justice Samuel Alito asked Shatzer’s lawyer, public defender Celia Davis, if her interpreta-

tion of the law meant police can’t talk to a suspect who asked for a lawyer when being questioned about joyriding in 1999, but is arrested for murder in 2009. “Yes, it does,” she replied.

This is Maurice, a young man supported by The Arc of High Point, a United Way partner agency. As an individual with developmental disabilities, Maurice has worked with a Life Skills coach from The Arc to achieve many of the same milestones to which any 22 year-old young man would aspire: a good job, independent living, even learning to cook for himself! Maurice works at Big Lots, where he stocks shelves, cleans, prices merchandise, and especially enjoys helping unload the trucks. He also helps out sometimes at Camp Ann, a summer camp for children with disabilities. His coach describes him as motivated, very family-oriented, and very eager to take advantage of life skills coaching to enhance his independent living skills. The next goal Maurice has set for himself? Getting his driver’s license, another milestone on the road to independence. Isn’t that what we all want? From Maurice, and from all the clients of The Arc and their families, we thank you for your support of United Way!

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court began its new term Monday with Justice Sonia Sotomayor on the bench as the court tried to hash out how long a suspect’s request for a lawyer should be considered valid by police and the courts. The court seemed skeptical of defense lawyers’ arguments that police should be banned from talking to a suspect without a lawyer present because of the possibility the suspect had asked for a lawyer in related – and even unrelated – cases years ago. Michael Shatzer was imprisoned at the Maryland Correctional Institution for child sexual abuse in 2003 when police questioned him about allegations he sexually abused his 3-year-old son. When Shatzer refused to talk to an officer and asked for a lawyer, the questioning ended and the case was dropped. In 2006, his son was old enough to offer details.

Soldier’s wife ignites effort to send care packages to military personnel in Afghanistan BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

egardless of whether or not you support U.S. military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, the soldiers who have been deployed there need our support. That’s the message from David Warriner, a High Point man who’s helping collect care packages for a unit of soldiers in Afghanistan. “They’re fighting for us,” Warriner says. “Whether we agree or not about why they’re over there, they’re still putting their lives on the line for us, and they still need all the support they can get.” Warriner, who serves as commander of the High Point unit

’He tells me about all these other guys who never get letters or packages, and it just breaks my heart ... ’ Cherie Myers-Bryant Soldier’s wife of Sons of the American Legion, will deliver donated items to Greensboro, where an effort to collect 250 care packages is under way this month. “Whatever people want to donate, I will pick it up and take it

over there for them,” he says. Warriner got involved because a man who used to work for him – Spc. Benjamin Bryant, a combat medic – is now stationed in Afghanistan. It’s Bryant’s wife, Cherie Myers-Bryant of Greensboro, who is coordinating the care package project. “My husband is quite spoiled, because he gets lots of packages and letters from his family,” Myers-Bryant says. “But he tells me about all these other guys who never get letters or packages, and it just breaks my heart that they’re out there sleeping on rocks, and they’re not getting any packages from home. I think folks here get so caught up in their day-to-day routine that they take what they have for granted, and they have no awareness of what these guys are going through over there.” Myers-Bryant recalls that she came up with the idea in the

According to Myers-Bryant, each care package will include the following: • Toiletries including twoin-one shampoo/conditioner, moisturizing soap, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, razor pack, shaving cream, hand lotion and foot powder. • Non-perishable snack items such as hard candies, beef jerky, etc.

• A magazine. • A book of crossword puzzles, word searches or similar items. • A letter, card or picture, provided by local children. “We’re getting local school kids to write them letters and draw pictures,” Myers-Bryant says. “These guys love getting letters and pictures to let them know we care and that we’re thinking about them.” Myers-Bryant is also collecting money to ship the care packages to Afghanistan, which will cost an estimated $700 to $1,000. Contributions of care package items or cash should be made by Oct. 19, and care packages will be assembled and shipped by Oct. 23. Delivery time is approximately three weeks, according to Myers-Bryant. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Tuesday, October 6, 2009 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Hannah Bridges, 19; Amy Jo Johnson, 39; Elisabeth Shue, 46; Britt Ekland, 67 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: It’s time to get your ducks in a row financially, emotionally and physically. Start with your home and personal life and follow through by making the self-improvements that will boost your confidence. Set your budget, life and goals to suit your needs instead of trying to please everyone around you. Your numbers are 6, 10, 19, 24, 28, 36, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your emphasis should be on work and getting along with the people you do business with. A challenge is likely to appear quite suddenly and a fast reaction on your part will be necessary to avoid trouble later on. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Strive for perfection, performance and productivity. Work from home if it will help you accomplish more and open your doors to the people who can offer you the most assistance. Romance is looking good. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may have some great ideas but trying to get others to buy into your plans will not be easy. Don’t waste time getting others on board – develop your ideas and present them as your own personal accomplishment. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Home is where you belong. Utilize the time you save in travel to get some of the finer, more important details completed of a project that will ensure your advancement. A romantic situation can help turn your life around. ★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do what you can for others. As soon as you become too me-oriented, someone will point out your faults. A trip will pay off as long as you don’t go overboard. A past partnership will come in handy now if you make the initial move. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Travel the distance required to push your ideas to the right group of people. It’s up to you to do the groundwork but, once you target your audience, you will get the help you need to move forward. Love is in the stars. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can move investments around or put money into your home or even collect an old debt successfully. A change at work may be sudden and unexpected but, in the end, you will realize that it was required. Don’t get emotional. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A change in a relationship will pleasantly surprise you. Don’t lose sight of your budget when making upgrades to your home or electronic equipment. A trip will be educational and rewarding. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Prepare to give all you’ve got, no matter what the job, project or challenge. One slip and you will fall through the cracks and miss out on an opportunity. This is not the time to rely on others to pull things together. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Personal and domestic changes will confirm what you had already anticipated. Act swiftly and with confidence and you can complete all the plans and projects you have on your to-do list. Romance will lead to a strong and stable relationship. ★★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll have to make the calls and do the work yourself to get things done properly. An emotional issue regarding a neighbor, friend or relative will escalate if you don’t speak truthfully about your intentions. ★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Set your goals and do not deviate, regardless what others do. Take care of any past association that may benefit or hinder you before you formulate a contract or deal. Laying everything out in the open will save you setbacks later. ★★★★

Cy the Cynic trusts nobody: He defines a fine friend as someone who stabs you in the front. “I thought Ed was my friend,” Cy told me, “but look what he did to me.” Ed, my club’s best player, was East, and West led the queen of spades against Cy’s 3NT. “Ed signaled with the nine,” the Cynic said, “and I ducked. When West continued with the jack, Ed overtook with the king, and I ducked again and won the third spade. I then tried the club finesse, and Ed took the king – and returned a club!” “He didn’t cash his last spade?”

THREE TRICKS “I had lost three tricks,” Cy said, “so I tried a heart to dummy’s ten next. If the finesse won, I’d have at least nine tricks. If it lost, I’d be safe since the defense would get only a club, a heart and two spades.” “So Ed took the queen,” I sighed, “and cashed the spade he didn’t have. Down one.” It was a fine piece of deception. When Ed didn’t take his good spade too soon, he compelled Cy to finesse in hearts the wrong way.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 8 7 4 H K 10 9 D K 6 3 2 C A 10 9. Your partner opens one heart, and the next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: This decision is close. One option is to respond two diamonds, planning to raise partner’s rebid of two hearts to three hearts. Since the diamonds are poor, the distribution is flat and the hand contains plenty of losers, I’d prefer a conservative single raise to two hearts. I’d bet that if partner passes, we won’t miss a game. 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.

Ledford tennis standout Kathryn Stroup has overcome plenty of adversity to sit near the top of the lineup for a talented Panther squad that clinched the Mid-Piedmont 3A Conference crown last week and targets a deep playoff run.

Stroup aces challenges H

er Ledford teammates jokingly called the coughing and wheezing the “Stroup croup.” As she walked up to the tennis courts last Monday, Kathryn Stroup called it a non-factor – she would be in the lineup. Skeptical Panthers coach Randy Grimes told his No. 2 singles player to grab her racket for a warmup session. Three minutes later, fighting to catch her breath, Stroup declared herself fit for action. Grimes banished her to the bench, where she rested for two matches. Some kids don’t mind the occasional day off during the season, but Stroup’s never been one to shy away from challenges. Not after being born with a club foot that easily could have ended an athletic career before it began. And not after last year’s ATV accident that easily could have ended a life scarcely begun. “I look at everything totally different now,” Stroup said. “It’s so amazing to think that I could’ve died so easily, and now to be back playing tennis, nothing wrong with me – it’s awesome.” Stroup’s tennis career began years ago at High Point Christian Academy, where she competed despite constant soreness in her left foot. Stroup’s right foot – “my big foot,” she said with a laugh – measures a petite size 6. The left foot is some three sizes smaller after not developing properly in the womb. The foot turned in, “like a golf club,” Stroup offered. The scars from multiple sur-

geries to treat the deformity used to make Stroup self-conscious, she admitted. “Now, I’m over it. People are like, ‘Oh, I didn’t even notice it,’ ” Stroup SPORTS said. “Dang – what was I so afraid of? Steve Now I don’t care.” Hanf Certainly no ■■■ one ever notices a difference in Stroup’s game as the junior piles up wins for the talented Ledford squad. And truth be told, the club foot has become a mere footnote now in the context of what took place Sept. 9, 2008. Stroup and her boyfriend were at Farmington Dragway in Mocksville taking in the action from an all-terrain vehicle. Stroup wasn’t wearing a helmet – all they were doing was driving across a smooth, flat, paved parking lot, after all. Then Stroup slipped off the back and hit her head on that parking lot. Grimes recalled getting a message about an accident. Fearing the worst, he arrived at Wake Forest University’s Baptist Medical Center and began an uncomfortable waiting game. “That’s a coach’s nightmare when you see one of your players laying in that bed with all the monitors hooked up to her,” Grimes said. “That beautiful face was all bruised up. She had just gone from being Kathryn to being at death’s door.”

Stroup possesses only fleeting memories from those first days after the accident, which caused six fractures – three in her face and three elsewhere in the head – along with the more troubling bleeding in the brain. There was that one day in the hospital when the morphine made even the most rudimentary tasks difficult, she offered with a laugh. And the time just after her release from the hospital when team photos were scheduled. Another laugh: Those shots didn’t come out so well. But Stroup was in the photos, which meant a lot. And what did come out well were the brain scans. Doctors said Stroup’s tests were normal, which eased concerns regarding long-term impairment. The road to recovery included a visit from the Panthers, who brought candy, cards and balloons to Stroup’s house. Considering the HPCA transfer had been at Ledford all of a month before the accident, the outpouring of support touched her deeply. “It was awesome to have somebody care about you that much,” she said. As for the day Stroup made her first visit to see Ledford on the courts, well – Grimes called it one of the most memorable days of his life. “I heard a couple of the girls gasp and all of the team turned around as she was coming down the steps,” the long-time Panthers coach recalled. “It was awesome. I think that completed the healing process for all of us when

we saw her back at the court. It was quite an occasion.” Stroup continued bonding with her new teammates throughout last year and grew particularly close to Tiffany Vanhpraseuth, the Panthers’ No. 1 player. “I’ve never been as close to somebody as I am with Tiffany,” Stroup offered. Together, they form the top part of a singles lineup rarely beaten and scarcely challenged this year. Ledford wrapped up the Mid-Piedmont 3A Conference championship last week and will enter the playoffs as a team to watch – just like all those years in the 2A ranks prior to this season’s realignment. Only this fall, Stroup will be part of the action. “She’s just the best of all worlds,” Grimes summed up of Stroup. “She is the epitome of Southern grace and the tenacity of a bulldog as soon as she walks on the court. I’ve never really had a child who could turn that switch on like that before: ‘Who am I going to rip today?’ focused, intense. And then she’s got that heart-warming smile that just melts me.” Not to mention her teammates. “We’re all so close now, really tight,” Stroup said. “It’s fun. I have a bunch of sisters on the team.” Brought together by tragedy and now united as they work toward a common goal. Sure, it’ll be a challenge for Ledford in the 3A playoffs this fall. But Stroup and the Panthers have handled challenges pretty well so far. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

O’Brien shakes up Wolfpack’s defense BY JOE JOHNSON ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

RALEIGH – Wake Forest provided N.C. State with a preview of what Duke might throw at the Wolfpack on Saturday, according to coach Tom O’Brien. The Demon Deacons, led by veteran QB Riley Skinner, attempted 45 passes against the Wolfpack to test an extremely young secondary. O’Brien said he intends to make some personnel shifts to shore up his secondary after Wake Forest was able to make some big plays

through the air. O’Brien said he does not want a repeat performance against the Blue Devils, who have Thaddeus Lewis seemingly back at full strength. “Certainly, we’re going to make some changes,” O’Brien said. The depth chart heading into the game against Duke has Clem Johnson and Bobby Floyd at the safety positions and Justin Byer and either C.J. Wilson or DeAndre Morgan at corner. That means Koyal George, Brandon Bishop and Earl Wolff will go back to reserve roles.

Playoff payoff? The Minnesota Twins hope to beat the Detroit Tigers in today’s AL Central playoff. See preview on 3D.

HIT AND RUN

---

he Tigers and Twins square off today in the Metrodome with the AL Central title on the line. This one-game playoff marks the ninth such contest in big-league history. I was stunned when I read that tidbit, as only two one-game playoffs immediately came to my mind. Red Sox fans still curse Bucky Dent 31 years after his three-run homer in the seventh keyed the Yankees’ 5-4 victory at Fenway Park for the 1978 AL East title. And I recall the 2007 NL wildcard playoff between the Rockies and Padres because it featured a blown save by career record-holder Trevor Hoffman and capped an amazing September run by Colorado.

As for the other six one-game playoffs? •The Indians beat the Red Sox 8-3 for the ‘48 AL pennant. •The Astros clubbed the Dodgers 7-1 for the ‘80 NL West title. •The Mariners rode Randy Johnson’s arm to a 9-1 rout of the Angels for the ‘95 AL West crown. •The Cubs downed the Giants 5-3 for the ‘98 NL wild card. •The Mets edged the Reds 5-4 for the ‘99 NL wild card. •The White Sox blanked the Twins 1-0 for last year’s AL Central title. Funny how none of those games proved memorable to me. Here’s hoping today’s game delivers unfor-

gettable action. I’m picking the Twins. They won 16 of their last 20 to erase a seven-game deficit and figure to enjoy a huge homefield advantage in the loud “Homer Hanky Dome.” That place really rocks in the postseason. Just ask the 1987 Cardinals and 1991 Braves. Both came up short in classic World Series duels with Minnesota. I don’t see these Twins winning it all. But an AL Central flag would be a nice way for Minnesota to end the Metrodome era. The Twins are scheduled to move into a new stadium in time for Opening Day 2010.

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is reading, watching television, attending class, studying film and doing just about everything else he was before his concussion. Except practicing. Florida coach Urban Meyer said Monday that his star player has not been cleared to return to the field or play against No. 4 LSU on Saturday night. But Meyer said the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner’s is no longer dealing with post-concussion symptoms. “From what I understand, there’s no symptoms and I think he’s cleared to act like Tim Tebow,” Meyer said. “Everything but practice right now. I know he’s allowed to watch TV. Earlier in the week he wasn’t allowed to do anything focused. I guess that’s normal protocol. And then after a week they acclimate.” Meyer said Tebow has been without headaches and other symptoms for several days. He said Tebow was given a balance and memory tests Friday, Sunday and Monday, and the results were “very positive.” Tebow was hospitalized overnight nine days ago after his helmet struck teammate Marcus Gilbert’s leg during a sack in the game against Kentucky. Tebow didn’t attend any of Florida’s practices last week, and Meyer said he wasn’t sure whether Tebow would return this week. Meyer said Tebow still could play if he got cleared late in the week.

Carpenter, Hill voted comeback players of year NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Carpenter has been voted NL comeback player of the year and Aaron Hill has won the AL award. Limited to four starts over the prior two seasons because of elbow surgery and a shoulder injury, Carpenter was 17-4 with a league-leading 2.24 ERA for the St. Louis Cardinals. The 2005 NL Cy Young Award winner, Carpenter won 11 consecutive decisions from early July to early September. Hill appeared in just 55 games in 2008 due to a concussion. He hit .286 for the Toronto Blue Jays this year and established career highs with 36 homers and 108 RBIs, the most among major league second basemen. The awards were voted on by the 30 beat writers of MLB.com.

Griffey earns $3.15M for Seattle return SEATTLE (AP) — Ken Griffey Jr. will collect $3.15 million of a potential $5 million for returning to the Seattle Mariners. The 39-year-old slugger earned an additional $1.15 million in bonuses tied to playing time and home attendance, according to contract details obtained by The Associated Press. That’s on top of the $2 million in base salary the active home run leader received in his oneyear contract. A spike in playing time over the final week of the season, when Griffey started five times in six games as the designated hitter, earned him an additional $250,000 for eclipsing 450 plate appearances. He finished with 456. He earned $900,000 more for incremental combinations of his plate appearances and the team’s attendance topping 2 million. Yet Griffey’s presence did not drive up attendance as much as the team had hoped, though it likely prevented a steeper drop in a bad economy. The Mariners drew 2,195,284 in paid attendance to Safeco Field this season, down from 2.33 million last season. It was the lowest in Seattle since 1995 at the Kingdome. Griffey said Sunday he was going home to his family in Florida to discuss whether he wants to play again in 2010 or retire.

Eli Manning has inflamed right foot EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Eli Manning is going to have to play in pain if he wants to continue as the New York Giants quarterback. Manning was diagnosed with inflamed tissue in his right foot late Monday following an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. It’s a problem that usually develops over time and lingers. Team physician Russell Warren told Manning he could play this weekend against the Oakland Raiders if he could tolerate the pain. “It’s not as serious an injury as (the doctor) has seen before, where it’s the whole foot that’s hurting,” Manning said in an interview on ESPN Radio in New York. “It’s just kind of a portion of it.” The Giants (4-0) have listed Manning as day to day with the plantar fasciitis, which has caused soreness and swelling in the heel and arch area on the bottom of his foot.

Twins host Tigers for AL Central title MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Minnesota Twins seem to think that 162 regular-season games aren’t enough. The Twins will host the Detroit Tigers today in a tiebreaker for the American League Central title and a trip the playoffs. It is the second straight season that the Twins have needed a 163rd game to finish the season, a first in league history. One year after losing a 1-0 heartbreaker in Chicago to the White Sox in a one-game playoff, the Twins will get the homefield advantage this time around as they look to cap their remarkable September rally. “It’s like deja vu,” second baseman Nick Punto said. “It’s fun. We’re having fun.” Why wouldn’t they be? A month ago, the Twins were seven games behind Detroit in the division. Three weeks ago, they lost All-Star slugger Justin Morneau to a season-ending back injury. Last week, they were three games down with four to play. Yet here they are again, thanks to 16 victories in 20 games and four straight to close the season. The Tigers, who went 11-15 in their final 26 games to let the Twins back into the race, aren’t putting too much stock in the experience factor. Manager Jim Leyland is putting 20-year-old rookie Rick Porcello (149) on the mound for the start in front of more than 50,000 fans who will make it deafening inside the Metrodome. The Twins counter with right-hander Scott Baker (15-9).

Skinner, Fox named ACC’s top players GREENSBORO (AP) – Wake Forest quarterback Riley Skinner and Miami offensive tackle Jason Fox headline the ACC players of the week. Georgia Tech linebacker Brad Jefferson and Virginia defensive end Matt Conrath were named co-defensive linemen of the week, while Virginia Tech linebacker Cody Grimm was named top defensive back.

Arend posts emotional NHRA Funny Car win MEMPHIS, Tenn.

Joining Arend in the winner’s circle at the 21st of 24 races in the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series were Morgan Lucas (Top Fuel), Jason Line (Pro Stock) and Michael Phillips (Pro Stock Motorcycle). Arend, who replaced Connie’s late son Scott Kalitta in the DHL Solara, turned in a blistering 4.091 at 310.41 in the final round to easily outrun Tony Pedregon’s trailing 16.659 at 37.81. The speed was the fifth fastest 1000-foot Funny Car speed recorded.

Wheatmore netters clinch historic PAC 6 2A crown ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

Pittsburgh kicker Jeff Reed celebrates his 46-yard field goal against San Diego late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 38-28 victory.

Steelers score early, often to beat Chargers PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Super Bowl-winning Steelers’ season was starting to unravel with consecutive losses in the final 15 seconds to the Bears and the Bengals. Determined to make sure their bad start didn’t last a moment more, they needed less than 15 minutes to effectively put away one of the AFC’s best teams. The final 15 minutes against San Diego couldn’t have been much worse, but the Steelers were so good, so dominating and so reminiscent of last season’s team before then that it didn’t matter. The Steelers (2-2) opened a 28-point lead behind Rashard Mendenhall’s running and Ben Roethlisberger’s throwing and shut down the Chargers’ ground game like no team has since 1992 during a 38-28 victory late Sunday night that convinced them they’re finding themselves again. Linebacker James Farrior said they would be in big trouble if they were 13. No chance for that, even if the Chargers (2-2) made it interesting by outscoring the Steelers 21-10 in

the fourth quarter. “We put up 38, and I think it could have been more,” said Roethlisberger, who was 26 of 33 for 333 yards and two touchdowns. Mendenhall certainly found himself after mostly looking lost since the Steelers drafted him in the first round a year ago. The former Illinois running back came in with 103 yards and no touchdowns in seven career games before running for 165 yards and two touchdowns against the NFL’s sixth-worst rushing defense. The Steelers outgained the Chargers 497251 and outran them 177-16 as LaDainian Tomlinson gained only 15 yards on seven carries during one of the most miserable offensive games of the Norv Turner era. The Chargers, outgained nearly 4 to 1 until late in the third quarter, never had an answer until Philip Rivers (21 of 36, 254 yards) threw TD passes to Antonio Gates (30 yards) and Chris Chambers (13 yards) and Jacob Hester scored on a 41-yard fumble return, all in the fourth quarter.

Panthers coach Fox has overcome poor start before CHARLOTTE (AP) – Carolina Panthers coach John Fox’s head is full of cliches and cheesy motivational sayings used to calm, motivate and educate his players. Some, like, “It’s not where you start the race, it’s where you finish it,” have been in vogue in the past week. And while only three teams since 1990 have recovered from the Panthers’ current predicament of 0-3 to reach the playoffs, Fox’s words hold some weight. He was part of the biggest turnaround in the modern era, serving as an assistant in San Diego in 1992 when the Chargers started 0-4 only to win 11 of their final 12 games to win the AFC West. “We had a lot tougher obstacles that year than we do right now,” Fox said. The Panthers returned from their bye weekend for meetings on Monday. They won’t return to practice again until Wednesday and host Washington on Sunday in a critical game to keep their hopes alive. Fox said he spent last week looking up 1992 record. Quarterback Jake Delhomme said players

have been made aware of the Chargers’ turnaround. “John has brought that up,” he said. Fox was 37 when he left a job as Pittsburgh’s secondary coach to take the same job for new Chargers coach Bobby Ross. San Diego hadn’t made the playoffs in a decade and went 4-12 a year earlier. The Chargers then scored only 29 points in their first four games in 1992, including a 27-0 loss to Houston that dropped them to 0-4. “We ran the table, so we won 11 of our next 12, and I believe it’s the only team in history to ever do that,” Fox said of being the only modern club to start 0-4 and reach the playoffs. Turning things around in Carolina won’t be easy. The Panthers have a minus-8 turnover margin, are allowing 182.7 yards rushing per game and can’t seem to tackle anybody. But the next three games are against the struggling Redskins (2-2), Tampa Bay (0-4) and Buffalo (13). Fullback Brad Hoover (back), safety Chris Harris (knee) and linebacker Na’il Diggs (ribs) all hope to return Sunday, too.

tured Monday’s five-team girls match. Providence Grove carded 144, followed by Southwestern Randolph at 146, Ledford at 150, Eastern Randolph at 157 and Asheboro at 163.

HIGH POINT – Senior goalkeeper Marisa Abbott recorded nine saves to break the High Point University Division I career saves record in a 2-1 loss to Charleston Southern on Monday afternoon. High Point falls to 2-11-0 on the year and 1-1-0 in the Big South. Abbott has 203 career saves, surpassing the previous record of 195 held by Cindy Watts (1999-01). “Marissa has done a steady job for us this year,” said head coach Marty Beall. “She is a hard worker and highly competitive. I am very impressed with her competitiveness and willingness to play through injuries and aches and pains like she does day in and day out. This record that she now holds is a credit to her determination, her persistence and her competitiveness.” High Point fell behind 2-0 in the first half as the Lady Buccaneers scored with a header by Caitlin Wesnesky in the 16th minute and a shot from 18 yards out to the far post by Marky Boyce, the Big South’s leading goal scorer, in the 24th minute.

Kuchar takes Turning Stone in playoff VERONA, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It had been so long since Matt Kuchar had won on the PGA Tour that a huge case of nerves was a given, especially when faced with a sudden-death playoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a hard time falling asleep (Sunday night). My mind was racing,â&#x20AC;? Kuchar said Monday after defeating Vaughn Taylor on the sixth extra hole of the Turning Stone Resort Championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was extremely nervous. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feeling that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel very often. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting to feel it. It makes you feel alive.â&#x20AC;? Kuchar rolled in an 18inch putt for par for the victory, just his second on tour and first in seven years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to describe the feeling,â&#x20AC;? said Kuchar, who missed the cut at Turning Stone two years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so difficult to win. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a whole lot of rewards. The game beats you up.â&#x20AC;? Kuchar knows from experience. A heralded ama-

teur player â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was the 1997 U.S. Amateur champ after Tiger Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; threeyear run â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a star in college at Georgia Tech, he won the 2002 Honda Classic in his first full season on tour. That was it until Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to be said about guys that win,â&#x20AC;? Kuchar said as he hugged his young son Cameron and kissed his wife Sybi. Kuchar improved to 2-0 in playoffs, and the top prize of $1.08 million boosted his earnings for the year past $2.3 million to 25th on the money list.

Stocks jump on positive reports NEW YORK (AP) – The first growth in the service industry in a year and an upgrade of big banks pulled investors into the stock market after a twoweek slide. Major stock indicators rose jumped about 1 percent Monday, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which added 112 points. The Institute for Supply Management said its service index rose to 50.9 in September from 48.4 in August. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a reading of 50, the dividing line between growth and contraction. The index hadn’t grown since August 2008. Financial and energy stocks led the gains after Goldman Sachs raised its rating on large banks and the price of oil jumped. The advance follows the market’s first two-

week slide since July, which came as reports on manufacturing and consumer sentiment fell short of expectations. The Dow rose 112.08, or 1.2 percent, to 9,599.75. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 15.25, or 1.5 percent, to 1,040.46, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 20.04, or 1 percent, to 2,068.15. Lee said the market’s two-week drop is a healthy sign of caution after stocks rose for seven months off of 12-year lows in March. He also said the mixed economic readings aren’t surprising and don’t mean the rally is over. “We should be kind of looking for data to come in a little choppy because no recovery is going to be linear and smooth,” he said. A disappointing employment report Friday shook investors’ confidence.

Some of the statistical improvements in employment were inflated by seasonal jobs, workers who quit the labor force and temporary federal stimulus money. “It’s pretty clear that even though the recession likely has ended, not too many people are likely going to be humming that Bobby McFerrin tune, ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy,’” said Sean Snaith, an economist at the University of Central Florida. The latest results of the AP’s Economic Stress Index showed the pain eas-

ing in some of the nation’s hardest hit areas, such as Elkhart, Ind., and pockets of the Carolinas. But foreclosure hotbeds in metro Las Vegas and South Florida continued to suffer. The AP calculates a score from 1 to 100 based on a county’s unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy rates. Under a rough rule of thumb, a county is considered stressed when its score exceeds 11. The average county’s Stress score dipped to 10.3 in August, from 10.54 in July, the first drop in three months.

In August 2008, it was 6.94. About 39 percent of counties had a score of 11 or higher in August, compared with 41 percent in both June and July. That’s still up substantially from a year ago, when only 6.6 percent of counties had scores above 11. As in previous months, Nevada (21.32), Michigan (17.59) and California (16.31) topped the list of the most economically stressed states. North Dakota (4.67), South Dakota (5.3) and Nebraska (5.79) were at the bottom.

Service sector grows in September reading of 50, the dividing line between growth and contraction. The index, which tracks more than 80 percent of the country’s economic activity, including hospitals, retailers, financial services companies and truckers, hadn’t grown since August 2008. The good news: • The new orders index, an indicator of future

activity, jumped to 54.2 in September from 49.9 a month before, the first growth reading in a year. • Businesses’ backlogs of orders grew for the first time in 14 months. • Present business activity rose to 55.1 from 51.3 in August, growing for the second straight month after 10 straight contractions.

NEW YORK (AP) – The U.S. service sector grew in September for the first time in 13 months, an encouraging sign for the fledgling economic recovery, although jobs remain scarce. The Institute for Supply Management said Monday that its service index hit 50.9 last month, up from 48.4 in August. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a

WASHINGTON (AP) – Signs of a slow and fitful recovery emerged in August in some communities across the country where unemployment dropped and foreclosures stabilized, according to The Associated Press’ monthly analysis of economic stress in more than 3,100 U.S. counties. The average county stress score fell slightly, and fewer counties qualified as economically distressed. But those glimmers of hope are providing scant benefit for most people suffering from the recession.

IPOs soar in third quarter AUSTIN, Texas – The number of U.S. initial public offerings more than tripled in the third quarter compared with the same period last year, according to business information provider Hoover’s. Hoover’s IPO Scorecard found 17 new issues on major U.S. stock exchanges in the three months ended Sept. 30, up from five in the same quarter of 2008. This year’s third-quarter IPOs raised $5.5 billion, up from $917 million last year.

Court upholds award to Wal-Mart worker BOSTON – A former pharmacist at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. who claimed she was fired after asking to be paid the same as her male colleagues is entitled to $2 million in damages awarded by a jury, the state’s highest court ruled Monday. Cynthia Haddad was fired in 2004 after working more than 10 years for Wal-Mart, seven of them at a store in Pittsfield. Wal-Mart claimed she was fired because she left the pharmacy unattended and allowed a technician to use her computer security code to issue prescriptions during her absence. Haddad claimed she was fired because she complained about being paid less than her male counterparts.

Deal proposed to Lehman Europe creditors LONDON – The administrators of Lehman Brothers’ assets in Europe said Monday that they may seek a direct agreement with hedge funds and other creditors to return money tied up since the collapse of the parent company as an alternative to a courtsanctioned settlement. PricewaterhouseCoopers has proposed a contractual agreement with creditors following an adverse ruling by the High Court in London. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Bank of America to hire emergency CEO CHARLOTTE (AP) – Bank of America Corp. plans to select an emergency CEO this week in case Ken Lewis steps down before the end of the year, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Last week, the bank said Lewis plans to retire Dec. 31. Bank of America’s board has created a six-member committee of directors to find Lewis’ successor. But the planning for an emergency replacement for Lewis, who faces

possible legal problems over the bank’s acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co., started before the bank announced Lewis’ retirement, the Journal reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. The board’s contingency plan picked up momentum last month after a federal judge rejected a proposed settlement between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the bank, coupled with reports that New

York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo may file civil securities fraud charges against Lewis, according to the Journal story. Bank of America spokesman Robert Stickler declined to comment on the report, but said, “the nominating committee is starting its work in earnest, has a number of meetings scheduled this week and we are going forward with finding the process of finding a new CEO.”

Chrysler splits Dodge into groups DETROIT (AP) – Chrysler’s new Italian management on Monday announced a surprise shake-up of the automaker’s executive team, saying two recently appointed brand CEOs have resigned and that it was splitting Dodge into two groups, one focusing on trucks and the other on cars. The moves marked the second management reorganization since Fiat Group SpA CEO Sergio Marchionne took con-

trol of Chrysler on June 10 when it emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Peter Fong, president and CEO of the Chrysler brand and the company’s top sales executive, and Michael Accavitti, president and CEO of the Dodge brand, abruptly left the company, Fong for personal reasons and Accavitti to pursue other interests, Chrysler said in a statement. Sales of Chrysler Group LLC vehicles, which

consist of the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep brands, are down 39 percent for the first nine months of the year. Chrysler also was caught unprepared for the government’s Cash for Clunkers program and had too few small vehicles on dealer lots to benefit much from the rebates. Chrysler sales spokesman Gualberto Ranieri would not comment when asked if the departures were related to Chrysler’s sales performance.
