Horse and Mule Days continues in Denton

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DENTON – On the first day of the 13th annual Horse and Mule Days festival Friday, Herman “Blackbart” Cox of Thomasville brought his mule, Charlie, to provide enjoyment for hundreds of youngsters while making molasses. Cox, who has attended all 13 Horse and Mule Days festivals, is one of many who are participating in the two-day event, which continues today. “I’m just a natural mule lover,” Cox said. “I breed and raise mules. That’s all I do is train mules for people. That’s my job.” With about 50 people looking on, 6-year-old Tray Norton rode Charlie as the mule walked in circles to operate a cane mill. “It feels like driving a car.” Norton said as he sat on Charlie. While Norton was riding the mule, there was quite a competition going on nearby. Curtis Ribelin and Jeffrey Bumgarner, both of Cleveland, were competing against the team of Riley Gobble of Salisbury and Larry Massey of Mooresville in a cross-cut saw contest. Gobble and Massey, who met for the first time at Horse and Mule Days, cut through an 8-inch-wide log in diameter in 21 seconds, beating the team of Ribel-

Police still seeking property from break-in spree BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Three Greensboro teenagers on their way to a north High Point restaurant looking for work over the summer allegedly changed their plans as they were coming into town on Wendover Avenue. “The story they gave was they were going to fill out an application and on the way there, they saw the apartment complexes over on the right and just thought it looked like a good place to go hit,” said High Point police Detective Chris Weisner. The three – Romauld Lawrence,

Terrence Lawson and Tajh Woolfolk, all of whom are 17 years old – have been charged with multiple counts of larceny and other offenses. A fourth person, Meonte Florence, 24, of Greensboro, also faces charges in the case. About 70 cars in neighborhoods along the Wendover Avenue corridor were broken into over a sixweek period, police said. More than $44,000 worth of laptop computers, MP3 players, GPS equipment, cell phones, CDs and other items were stolen. According to police, around $3,100 worth of the items have been recovered. “Their targets – the apartments and townhomes – they basically

could park and get out and hit a large number of cars in 30 minutes depending on what was there and what they saw, so it was pretty easy for them,” Weisner said. Investigators said they believe the break-ins occurred every weekend from July 31 through early September, except for the last weekend of August. “The only weekend they didn’t hit we worked undercover out there,” he said. “We had two cars unmarked out there and that was the only weekend they didn’t hit us. Evidently, they either spotted us or we spooked them or something.” Police are trying to track down

the stolen property but said they don’t expect additional charges against the suspects. “There’s some stuff we could do as far as conspiracy, and there were some credit cards stolen, which they attempted to use,” Weisner said. “We could go back and charge them with those, but as of right now, we’re probably going to go back and close it out with the charges we’ve got.” Anyone with information about the suspects or the stolen property is asked to call Weisner at 8877828 or High Point Crimestoppers at 889-4000. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

HPU in talks to buy Wesleyan residences. 1A BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – With the ownership change at Wesleyan Homes, some of the city’s most vulnerable seniors will have to find new residences. Wesleyan Homes at 900 Eastchester Drive includes 84 low-income,

government subsidized units. Those apartments could be vacated as early as next fall. Residents learned this week that they will have to move. Dallas King of Raleigh, whose mother lives at Wesleyan Arms, has started to think about helping his 80-year-old mother move. “We will work with her to get her into something she can afford,” King said Friday. “The choices are limited for her with the income she has. She may

community relations, said Friday. HPU will renovate the properties for as many as 250 student residences that could be available next fall. “The properties are in good shape, and all we may have to do is to change out the carpets and do some painting,” Scarborough said. Meanwhile, Providence Place is working on an $8 million replacement facility for the Wesleyan Arms

assisted-living complex. “These properties are 30 years old, and we had to decide what to do with the assisted-living section as it became more expensive to operate,” Higgins said. Providence Place has filed plans for a 53,000square-foot, 90-bed assisted-living facility to be built on the company’s 56acre main campus where it operates 154 independent-living units and 129 skilled-nursing beds.

There are 69 residents in assisted living and 23 in the life estate residences, Higgins said. Providence Place wants to open the new facility by October 2011. “As many residents as can go will go to Providence Place,” Higgins said. The deal could also include Parker Community Center and an administrative building. Some of the Wesleyan properties are outside a

university growth plan border negotiated with city officials. But the plan does allow some exceptions. “These properties are zoned institutional,” Scarborough said. Earlier this fall, HPU President Nido Qubein said the university would be looking at “areas not directly connected to the campus” for expansion.

Dallas police seek naked backyard dancer DALLAS (AP) – Dallas police are looking for a man who they say repeatedly sneaks into backyards, dances around naked and then runs away. Police believe the man has been exposing himself in the same neighborhood since 2005. The

most recent incident was on Sept. 30. Police say he usually climbs a fence or goes through a gate and either dances naked or jumps in a swimming pool naked. Police say he also has danced naked on top of a backyard air condi-

tioning unit. Police say they’re looking for a pudgy man who is about 6 feet tall and covers his face while dancing. Dallas Police Senior Cpl. Janice Crowther says police want to catch him before it escalates into something worse.

Companies seek limited liability in parasailing deaths

NAACP anniversary speech NAACP delegates listen to North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue speak during the 100th Anniversary of the NAACP convention in Hickory on Friday.

N.C. Supreme Court upholds ruling on life sentences RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s Supreme Court upheld a decision Friday that could provide a path to freedom for dozens of inmates given life sentences three decades ago, dismissing the state’s pleas despite concerns about putting the criminals back on the streets. Bobby Bowden, a North Carolina inmate convicted of two murders, had argued that a law adopted in 1974 clearly defined life sentences as just 80 years. Bowden believes that statute, com-

bined with good conduct credits inmates now accrue, means his life sentence for Bowden the Cumberland County killings is complete. The attorney general’s office petitioned the Supreme Court for a hearing after the court of appeals sided with Bowden. An attorney for the state argued before the high court last month, saying the law was ambigu-

ous, while an attorney for Bowden called the state’s argument “legal gymnastics.” The statute, which was in place for several years in the 1970s, says: “A sentence of life imprisonment shall be considered as a sentence of imprisonment for a term of 80 years in the state’s prison.” Justices, expressing clear skepticism, had repeatedly asked the state’s attorneys last month how that language could be considered ambiguous. Corrections officials

worry that the outcome of the case could affect some 120 inmates sentenced when the law was in place. Bowden has been denied parole every year since 1987. Justices gave no explanation for their decision Friday, simply saying in a one-page statement they unanimously agreed to allow a court of appeals decision to stand. Attorneys for the state and for Bowden did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

WILMINGTON (AP) – Two North Carolina companies have filed a complaint in federal court aimed at removing them from liability in the deaths of two women killed in a parasailing accident, attorneys said Friday. The complaint by Ocean Isle Beach Water Sports, Inc. and N.C. Watersports, Inc. proposes that, at the least, liability should be limited. The companies think any potential payout should be capped at $100,000, the estimated value of the boat that carried the two women and others and a limit allowed under a federal law. But the request by the companies could be refused if it’s proven that the boat’s owner knew about factors leading to the deadly accident, said Kasey Wagner, an attorney with a Wilmington law firm retain by the estate of one of the women that died. “These laws weren’t written for $100,000 pleasure boats. They were written for cargo ships that would travel thousands and thousands of

miles from home and then something happened on the high seas,” said Wagner, an attorney with Lea, Rhine & Rosbrugh. “One hundred thousand dollars is such a small amount.” Calls to the two companies and attorneys rep-

The companies think any potential payout should be capped at $100,000. resenting them were not immediately returned Friday. The complaint states that Ocean Isle Water Sports owned the boat, while N.C. Watersports was leasing it. The Aug. 28 accident killed Cynthia Woodcock, 60, of Kernersville, and Lorrie Shoup, 54, of Granby, Colo. Authorities say a strong gust of wind blew up while they were in the air, eventually snapping the line connecting their parasail to the tow boat Tied High.

Don’t be fooled by ‘fair and balanced’ claim Conservative political reporter and commentator Bernard Goldberg surprised his FAUX “News” co-workers last week when he told Bill O’Reilly that FAUX was not “fair and balanced.” He went on to say that “They (faux) don’t cover rallies and Tea Parties, they cheerlead rallies and Tea Parties.” Of Course Goldberg is correct, FAUX “News” is not “fair and balanced” – it’s not even news. It’s right-wing propaganda plain and simple, and if FAUX has to lie to get the right’s message out that’s fine with them. After all, it is their constitutional right to lie or deliberately distort. In 1997, reporter Jane Akre was fired from FAUX “News” for refusing to air a story she knew to be false. She sued FAUX and won a $425,000 judgment. FAUX appealed the decision, arguing that “under the First Amendment,

I’m not going to use what’s left of my 300 words listing more.

City Council

Gift ban rule is best for all state workers From The News & Observer of Raleigh, Oct. 2 Gov. Beverly Perdue kept it simple, as it should be. An order issued Oct. 1 bans all employees in her administration from accepting food or gifts from companies doing business with the state. This policy should have been in place long ago, but give the governor credit for a quick response to embarrassing reports in The News & Observer about employees of the Division of Motor Vehicles bellying up to a trough provided by Verizon Business, which has a $51.5 million, no-bid contract to provide computers and services for the state’s vehicle inspection program. Now Perdue says she’ll ask legislators to make the ban apply to agencies outside the purview of the governor, such as the Department of Agriculture, the Labor Department and others. Those agencies are run by independently elected officials, so Perdue’s order, for now, covers only those in executive departments under her. A state ethics law bans gifts for higher-ranking officials, but doesn’t speak to those in lower-level positions, many of whom can have influence over negotiating contracts, etc. Perdue’s action comes, of course, at a time when former Gov. Mike Easley’s campaigns are under scrutiny, along with efforts by his allies with regard to his wife’s former job at N.C. State University. The intersection of public service with private interests can be risky without Stop signs in place. In the case of DMV, which has been the focus of late, Verizon was hosting people at restaurants, hockey games and other venues. The company has fully cooperated with inquiries, including an ongoing one by the State Bureau of Investigation. Were laws broken? That remains to be seen. But at best, employees who accepted freebies showed extremely bad judgment. The potential for problems is clear: Even when employees are completely honest people, which the vast majority are, taking meals and the like can at least imply that contracts can be influenced by courtship. And what if a rogue employee decided to “shake down” a company? Absent this ban, the company might assume that kind of thing was just the way to do business. Millions of public dollars are in the balance with state contracts in all agencies, and those contracts must be negotiated and signed without any appearance of even friendly influence through giftgiving and such. All possible vendors need to be on a level field, with the only consideration for the state being who offers the best deal for the public. Sure, friendships may develop between state workers and those private interests with whom they interact in the course of arranging contracts. But it is the duty of those state workers, and yes, to some degree, the private interests, to recognize that there are lines that must not be crossed. Perdue now has drawn them clearly.

Let’s just do right with the health care issue

early nine months ago, the Congressional Budget Office stated that 45 million Americans were without health insurance. It was about one month into President Obama’s administration, and the alarming number was not OK with him. The same office estimates that by 2019, in the not so far future, that number will reach 54 million. Based upon the huge Republican and moderate Democrats’ resistance to health care reform, 54 million uninsured Americans is quite OK with them. “Driving the increase (of people without insurance) will be health insurance premiums that rise faster than incomes” according to the CBO. About a year ago unemployment rates hit record highs. No real turn in this downward spiral is overwhelmingly evident, even though sporadic reports of recovery are heard. Just this week, Dell announced that it is closing and thereby sending approximately 900 people to the unemployment lines. Sure, there is COBRA, but who can afford it? Most won’t be able to. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, “In 2007, half of adults who were unemployed and looking for work were uninsured. Among those adults, 69 percent

Without insurance, these adults are more likely to forgo needed medical care and incur medical debt. They are also at risk of having their health problems treated as pre-existing conditions if they later regain employer-sponsored. Given current Medicaid eligibility levels, many parents may find that the income from their unemployment benefits is enough to disqualify them, and possibly also their children, from receiving public coverage. However, those unemployment benefits may not provide enough money to purchase health insurance after paying for

necessities such as rent and food.” I understand capitalism. I understand profit, living well, benefiting from one’s creativity and ingenuity. I don’t understand the huge fight over the public opOPINION tion part of the health care reform act, except it is Sondra explained as nothing less Foy Anderson than greed. ■■■ As I read, listen and study, the “exchange,” or public option, will create a new marketplace. In the marketplace, Americans who have health insurance and like it, keep it if they want. If an American loses a job, changes a job, etc. some “high quality” or similar plan will be available in the exchange. They could continue to receive health care services without it bankrupting them. Sen. Jay Rockefeller said a “public option would protect consumers from profithungry insurance companies and save the government $50 billion over 10 years.” President Obama spoke to the nation months ago when he presented the health care reform plan and said, “the time for games has passed.” If it were as simple as truth, then some resolution would have come to this issue so that other pressing issues could be focused on. The war in Afghanistan to say the least. In fact however, folks of right-wing mentality and a handful of moderate Democrats and go-along to get-alongs, who don’t want to do what is fair, continue to play political and special interest games. They just won’t do what is right for the majority of the people. It reminds me of one of my favorite books of the Bible – Isaiah. It speaks in plain common sense language and it just makes me laugh when the Lord says, “Stop doing wrong. Learn to do right. Seek justice, encourage the oppressed.” It is as though he is saying, this is not rocket science! It’s no mystery. Stop doing wrong.

Evangelicals seek immigration reform from Congress

‘American Qur’an’ blends U.S. life, Quranic verses CULVER CITY, Calif. (AP) – The scene is seared into the American psyche: the residents of New Orleans engulfed by flood waters, perched on rooftops and desperate for help as corpses float past and helicopters whirl overhead. The depiction of Hurricane Katrina’s devastating aftermath is a visceral image that Americans would expect to find in a history book or on TV – but not in the pages of the Quran, the holy book of the Islamic faith. That’s precisely why painter Sandow Birk chose to include a watercolor of the ravaged city in his latest exhibit “American Qur’an,” a re-imagining of the Islamic holy book that pushes cultural and religious boundaries by blending the tome’s ancient chapters with post-

cards from the American experience. Birk hopes it will help the religious text speak to modern Christians as clearly as Muslims believe God spoke to the Prophet Muhammad so many centuries ago. Many Christians also don’t realize that the Quran contains some of the same characters – including Noah, Moses and Abraham – they learned about in Sunday school, he said. “When you go to a church here, the minister reads a passage from the Bible and then he spends 30 minutes talking about, ‘How does this passage relate to your life in the 21st century?’ That’s a familiar way that Americans have of dealing with religious texts,” Birk said. Each chapter of Birk’s AP Quran has been carefully copied in English in a calligraphy Artist Sandow Birk poses next to his sculpture titled “Amermodeled on the urban graf- ican Mihrab.” Birk has created an illustrated, English-lanfiti of America’s inner cities. guage Quran that he’s calling the “American Qur’an.”

WASHINGTON (AP) – An American evangelical Christian group is urging Congress to approve reforms to immigration laws in a resolution approved Thursday. The National Association of Evangelicals’ resolution, passed unanimously by the group’s board of directors, recommends that immigration laws provide a path for the undocumented to eventually gain legal status, place a high priority on reuniting families and reduce backlogs of petitions in those areas. “This resolution will be an important step forward in evangelical advocacy on behalf of immigrants, many of whom are members of evangelical churches across the United States,” said Galen Carey, the association’s government affairs director. The association’s president, Leith Anderson, said the process for legal immigration to the U.S. is antiquated, bureaucratic and needs to change.

Anderson told members of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Citizenship on Thursday that Congress needs to provide those living illegally in the U.S. the means to rectify their situation. The Washington-based National Association of Evangelicals has a 75-member board that represents 40 denominations and scores of Christian organizations. However, it does not include some of the best-known conservative Christian bodies, including the Southern Baptist Convention and Focus on the Family. The group has taken stands in recent years that have run counter to Christian right views. It endorsed an anti-torture statement in 2007 that renounced torture and “cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of detainees.” Other evangelical leaders have either resisted that view or remained silent on the issue.

Happy 400th birthday to Baptists 1

609-2009: This is the 400th anniversary of the first Baptists in the modern era. One estimate of the number of Baptists today places it at 70 million; that is a long way from the handful of Christians who began “Baptists” 400 years ago. And where did it occur? In Amsterdam, of all places, by a group of Christians who were fugitives. Now that is an interesting story. To begin with we have to go to the 1500s in England. The Church of England (also goes by the name of the Anglican Communion) began when Henry VIII made a break with the Catholic Church. Many were pleased initially, yet over time some people became disenchanted because they did not think the Church of England made a big enough break from the Catholic Church’s practices. These people became known by different names such as “separatists,” “dissenters,” and “Puritans.” You have heard of one of these separatist groups; it eventually came to America and

became known as the Pilgrims. Another separatist group was led by John Smyth (pronounced with a long “i” sound like “ice) (1570-1612). Smyth was actually ordained as a STUDYING Church of England, or THE CHURCH Anglican priest in 1594 and studied at Cambridge. Yet he was one of those Mark who felt that the Church Nickens of England needed to be ■■■ changed or purified and so slowly became a separatist. He got in trouble with the Church of England because he would not accept all their practices or beliefs and even ended up in jail. In 1600, he decided to leave the priesthood because of his continued disagreements with the Church of England. He joined a group of separatists, and they lived out their faith within their small community. Then King James I came to power and their world changed.

See, Elizabeth I left no children. When she died, her nearest relative became ruler of England, a man who was King James VI of Scotland. But since he was the first James to rule England, he became known as King James I. As he traveled down to London, some separatists met him and presented him with a list of demands for changes in the Church of England. He only agreed to a new translation of the Bible, which became known as the King James Version. But now that he knew where the separatists stood, he decided they should change because he saw them as enemies of the state. He even said, “I will make them conform themselves or I will have them out of the land.” Back to our man Smyth. After James came to power, a lot of separatists decided to leave England and head to Amsterdam. Why Amsterdam? Because it had an open policy toward different religious beliefs. Eventually Smyth and his group of separatists also decided to make the journey to Amster-

dam, about fifty people in all. Once in Amsterdam, Smyth met people from other Christian persuasions, including a group of Mennonites who practiced believer’s baptism. Smyth became convinced that infant baptism was wrong, and so in 1609 he baptized himself and then others in his small group. The form of baptism he used was pouring water from a pitcher; therefore he is known as a se-baptist, a self-baptized Christian. Soon after Smyth wanted to become more closely aligned with the Mennonites and a split developed in his group. A man named Thomas Helwys led part of the small group back to England. Once there, this small group of Baptists started other churches, and the rest is history. And about 20 years later they decided to switch their baptism method from pouring to immersion, which is what is practiced today.

Regaining lost confidence in yourself, others L

ast week, I wrote a column about losing confidence. That is such a terrible thing to happen that I want to write about regaining that lost confidence in one’s self and others. A life-changing book was published 57 yeas ago with this intriguing title, The Power of Positive Thinking, which almost instantly became one of the all-time best-sellers. Prentice-Hall, printed it twice in October and once each in November and December. It had six printings in 1953, five in 1954 and three more by July, 1955. It seemed as though every thoughtful reader wanted a copy of this book. The author was Norman Vincent Peale, America’s “Minister to Millions” through his sermons, newspaper columns, radio and television programs, magazines and best-selling

books. One of the reasons, he was one of my favorite preachers was the fact that he talked more easily about Jesus, in public SHARING and private, than any perTHE SPIRIT son I have ever known. He had Bill a confident faith Ellis and God was his ■■■ friend. In the introduction, Dr. Peale wrote: “This book is written to suggest techniques and to give examples which demonstrate that you do not need to be defeated by anything, that you can have peace of mind, improved health, and a never-ceasing flow of energy.” If you have lost self-confidence, consider these words on

page one: “BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers, you cannot be successful or happy. But with sound self-confidence, you can succeed.” One of the last times I talked with Norman Vincent Peale was at his home-base in Pawling, N.Y. I asked him, “How can you at your age (in his late 80s) continue with such a busy schedule of travel, preaching, writing and being involved with so many significant projects?” He simply answered, “You just forget your age and do what you can.” For him and many other high achievers, age was and is just a number. At the end of the first semester of my sophomore year at Anderson College, Anderson, Ind., I had reached a low point

in self-confidence. Money was in short supply. I had worked at different jobs and eaten many nickel meals in the college cafeteria – two slices of bread with free gravy and all the water I could drink. My grades were not the kind you wanted to write home about. I was the speaker for a “youth revival” at the Fifth Avenue Church of God, Huntington, W.Va., between Christmas and New Year’s. The pastor, the Rev. George K. White, asked me to become the Youth Director for his congregation. He was an encourager and became one of my best friends. Shortly after I arrived for the second semester and enrolled at Marshall College (now University), Pastor White resigned and moved to another pastorate in Indiana. The new pastor was Ivan P.

Alls. He was a motivator if ever there was one. After 18 months working with him, I was convinced, and still am, that anything I am asked to do, I can do. It changed my life. I have never shied away from any opportunity since. How do you go about regaining lost confidence? Listen to a competent life coach. Accept a few jobs you think you can do and succeed in getting them done. Read the Bible and let passages like, “. . . with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26), sink into your heart and mind. Prayer must always be part of life each day with this powerful promise: “Ask and it will be given to you” (Luke 11:9). These simple practices will help immensely to restore your self-confidence.

The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

Kindness In St. Paul’s inventory of the fruit of the spirit, in the fifth chapter of Galatians, we find kindness, the translation of the Greek word “chrestotes.” The Greek word “chrestotes” has the connotation of goodness, and not just goodness as a quality, but goodness as expressed in actions or deeds. The person who exemplifies this type of These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have kindness will be a genuinely good peace. In the world ye shall have person, expressing their goodness tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. by acting in ways that are gentle, John 16:33 patient and self-controlled. The person who is kind in this sense will naturally put others at ease because they can be more relaxed, knowing that this person will be kind and gentle. We do well to remember that when St. Paul speaks of the “fruit of the spirit,” that fruit is singular, not plural. If we are truly walking by the spirit, we will possess all of these virtues. This surely does not mean that we won’t struggle, perhaps with some more than others, but rather that we should strive for the kind of overarching goodness or kindness that makes us a thoroughly good person. And, not just good in this or that respect, but good across the board. Of course, no one is perfect, but by striving to be kind and good in all of our dealings, both at work and at home, and with our friends as well as our adversaries, we will be well on our way to perfecting our character and becoming more godlike.

Obama says he’ll accept Nobel Peace Prize and use it as motivation WASHINGTON (AP) – A beaming President Barack Obama said Friday he was both honored and humbled to win the Nobel Peace Prize and would accept it as a “call to action” to work with other nations to solve the world’s most pressing problems. Obama told reporters in the White House Rose Garden that he wasn’t sure he had done enough to earn the award, or deserved to be in the company of the “transformative figures” who had won it before him.

President Barack Obama speaks about winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Friday, in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. But, he said, “I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century.” Obama will travel to Oslo, Norway, in December to accept the award, including a $1.4 million prize. The White House

said Obama will donate the entire amount to charity. Obama, 48, is the third U.S. president to win the prize while in office, after Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Former President Jimmy Carter won the prize in 2002, more than two de-

Rescue on wheels Trinity businessman helps Habitat for Humanity with truck BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Mayberry Strickland is fulfilling the role of Good Samaritan through his 14-foot-long truck. The small business owner out of Trinity said he was upset when he heard about thieves stealing the lone truck used by Habitat for Humanity of High Point, Archdale and Trinity. The truck was stolen from its parking place along W. Kivett Drive at

Westpoint Boulevard during the weekend of Oct. 3-4. Strickland, who operates Strickland’s Commercial Furniture Repair, said his business has a truck that he doesn’t use regularly. He was glad to donate it to Habitat while the nonprofit group recovers its stolen vehicle or secures a new truck. “They do so much for the community. I just felt I could help them out,” said Strickland,

rector Susan Wood called Strickland’s donation “truly invaluable.” The nonprofit group used the donated truck for the first time Friday morning to pick up items from the High Point Market district as showroom operators make donations to clear space for the fall market later this month.

School opens doors to community BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Daryl Barnes said the community will have the opportunity get its first look Sunday afternoon of the new Wheatmore High School. A dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for 2 p.m. at Wheatmore High, located at 3678 Finch Farm Road, Trinity. School board members, as well as local and state officials, are expected to attend the event. “This is a day that we get to show the building off to the community, so they can see the

fine facility that has been built here for the community,” said Barnes, Wheatmore High principal. School officials also will allow the community to tour Wheatmore High. “They are going to get to see everything and anything they want to see,” Barnes said. “We’ve got every door open.” Wheatmore High, which opened for students Sept. 14, was built to alleviate overcrowding at Trinity High. With the exception of the senior class that chose to finish this year at Trinity High, more than 600 students attend the new high school.

Prominent mathematician Irving Gelfand passes at 96 www.sechrestfunerals.com

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – Israel Gelfand, who was considered one of the world’s top mathematicians and did work that was important in the development of medical imaging devices, has died at age 96. Gelfand’s son Sergei Gelfand said his father died Monday of natural causes at a hospital in New Brunswick. Gelfand, from Ukraine, was a distinguished professor of mathematics at Rutgers University. He conducted pioneering research, mentored mathematicians and established correspondence schools in Russia and the United States for budding mathematicians in remote areas. He remained active until 2008, running seminars that placed the pursuit of math knowledge ahead of academic titles. He taught at Moscow

State University before moving to the U.S. in 1989. He joined the Rutgers faculty in 1990. Rutgers University Professor Valdimir Retakh, who worked with Gelfand in Russia and the U.S., said his work in representation theory is part of the foundation of modern physics and his research in integral geometry was vital to the advent of medical imaging devices. Gelfand won numerous awards, including the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 1978 and the 1989 Kyoto Prize, a Japanese award for significant contributions to humanity. He wrote more than 800 articles and 30 books in many areas of mathematics. “Mathematics for me is a universal and adequate language of sciences, and it is an example of how people of different cul-

Ben’s Chili Bowl founder dies WASHINGTON (AP) – Ben Ali, the founder of Ben’s Chili Bowl diner, a landmark in Washington’s black business and entertainment district and a frequent stop for politicians and celebrities, has died. He was 82. Ali died of congestive heart failure Wednesday night at his home, his daughter-in-law Sonya Ali said Thursday. Ben Ali was born in 1927 and opened the restaurant with his wife, Virginia,

ducted tests after she was delivered by Drs. Mason Andrews and Howard Jones, and determined how the public perceived the nation’s first test-tube baby. Wirth pronounced her healthy and normal at the first news conference, which the nation watched eagerly at a time when such medical technology was new and scary. “I don’t look at him as a doctor, he’s family. It (his death) is part of losing your family,” Carr said. Wirth met Carr for the first time in 2003 in Boston, where the two discussed a letter he wrote to her the day after she was born. The four-page letter tells her that in spite of her unusual conception – in a petri dish – she was a normal human being.

in an old movie house in 1958. It became a longtime fixture in the black business community, serving up bowls of chili and its trademark chili-covered half-smokes. Ali was an immigrant from Trinidad, earned a bachelor’s degree at the University of Nebraska and moved to Washington to study at Howard University’s medical and dental schools. He withdrew, though, after injur-

ing his back in a fall. The newlywed couple opened the restaurant on nearby U Street, then known as America’s “Black Broadway” for its thriving blackowned shops and theaters. Jazz greats Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole performed along the strip and were known to visit Ben’s. More recently, Bill Cosby has been a favorite guest – joining Ali to celebrate the diner’s 45th anniversary.

tures and backgrounds can communicate and work together,” he wrote in his acceptance note to the American Mathematical Society for its Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement in 2005. Gelfand’s son is publisher of the society, founded in 1888 to promote mathematics research and scholarship. Gelfand’s weekly seminars were legendary among mathematicians, as was his sense of humor. The seminars almost always ran long, typically ending when a custodian came to clean the lecture hall. Gelfand questioned speakers and audience members to promote the flow of knowledge.

Beach Music Blast series raises thousands in funds BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Expanding the Ilderton Beach Music Blast series to High Point raised thousands of dollars in extra funds for the North Carolina Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Society, according to officials. And it may have found permanent homes for some children.

A series of four concerts ran every Thursday from Sept. 10-Oct.1 and charged $5 for admission. The events raised approximately $52,000 total for the NCCHS, according to Tommy Lineberry, director of special events for the non-profit. More than 6,300 people attended the concerts which offered food from local restaurants. Line-

berry said about 220 volunteers donated more than 700 hours of their time, and each restaurant donated 500 portions of food or more per concert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The financial help and support of all of the sponsors and individuals of High Point on such short notice in these economic times was amazing,â&#x20AC;? Lineberry said.

After the concert series had concluded, he said the organization received phone calls from two families who attended the concerts that are now looking into the adoption process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel sure I can speak for the entire Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Society staff when I say that those two calls are worth even more than the amazing amount

of money we raised,â&#x20AC;? he said. The series is held annually in Greensboro and was also held in High Point for the first time this year. Ilderton Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep Inc. served as the main sponsor for the series, held at 1525 N. Main St. The City Project identified the area of N. Main Street and Lexing-

ton Avenue for potential growth. Lineberry said the activity from the concerts seemed to leak over into surrounding businesses and restaurants afterwards. Tim Ilderton, owner of the dealership, said plans to sponsor another series next year were in the works. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Here are two of the Hartley Drive YMCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most enthusiastic members: Hunter, age 7, and Wynton, age 9. Hunter, a second grader at Phoenix Academy, has been at the YMCA after school since he was in kindergarten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like all my friends at the Y, and all the activities,â&#x20AC;? he says, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;especially the playground and singing the camp songs.â&#x20AC;? Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom, who works full-time and goes to school part-time in hopes of pursuing a nursing degree, says that the Hartley Drive YMCA has helped her son make wonderful friends and enjoy athletics. Wynton, a fourth grader at Oak View Elementary, has received a scholarship to participate in both the after-school and summer programs at Hartley Drive for the past 2 years. He likes swimming, field trips, and especially playing soccer at the YMCA, and was named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Camper of the Dayâ&#x20AC;? twice this past summer. Wyntonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom April says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love the YMCA. I know Wynton is in a safe, Christian-based environment where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a great time and learn a lot while I work. The experiences there cultivate his character, and the counselors are great.â&#x20AC;?

Orbiting seeds result in plants from space A

frican Violets are arguably the most popular and best-known blooming houseplants cultivated by more Americans. Its name gives away its original habitat of Africa and specifically the East Central country of Tanzania. Over the years, tens of thousands of the Gesneriad family and genus Saintpaulia have been bred into brilliant colors found in American homes and often found blooming on windowsills. During October, and closer to North Carolina homes, the North Carolina Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s African Pavilion will display African Violets and other colorful members of the Gesneriad family. When you visit the African Pavilion you will see hundreds of colorful violets and related plants, including dozens of cultivars and even one of the few original species of African Violets that became the backbone of breeding that produces thousands of hybrids we buy at our local garden center. Over 1,700 brilliantly colored cultivars will be displayed into several creative manners such as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;river of violetsâ&#x20AC;? or the violets displayed in the shape of a pumpkin on a bamboo wall. One of the hybrids that is really unique with its ruffled flowers and

leaves is the EverFloris â&#x20AC;&#x153;space violetâ&#x20AC;? developed by Optimara, the leading African violet breeder in the world. According to their Web site, the development of EverFloris Violets began in ECOLOGY 1984, when Optimara launched 25,000 OptiGwyn mara seeds into space Riddick aboard one of NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; space shuttles. The seeds orbited the Earth for nearly six years. The program was conceived to test the effect of long-term exposure to cosmic radiation and lack of gravity. When the seeds were retrieved in 1990, many mutations soon became apparent. One such mutation resulted in a new characteristic which Optimara has dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;multiflorescence.â&#x20AC;? This characteristic gives Optimara Violets an extraordinary abundance of flowers which bloom all year long. The following care and culture information from Purdue University says the amount of water and frequency of watering will vary according to the soil mixture used, size of the pot, drainage and the environmental conditions under which the plants are grown.

In cancer treatment, appearance isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skin deep

EW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lipstick, moisturizer and a wig canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cure cancer. But beauty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and beauty products â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can help heal wounded self-esteem, which often takes a big hit as patients undergo cancer treatment. Experts say hair loss, skin discoloration and skin dryness can undermine an already physically difficult and emotionally draining process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some days I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want anyone to see me or even have my husband look at me,â&#x20AC;? says Michele VonGerichten, a breast-cancer survivor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you are waiting for your hair to grow, you spend a lot of time looking into the mirror, just waiting for a sign that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going back to normal.â&#x20AC;? In interviews, survivors and counselors both say the moment a person doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize herself in the mirror because of physical changes caused by treatment can be one of the lowest points of the process. VonGerichten says the minute she took charge and regained her beauty routine, her spirits improved. While she hopes never to put on her wig again, she says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also never go back to the very long hair that she had before chemotherapy began last March. Her hair is now â&#x20AC;&#x153;a really short version of the Jamie Lee Curtis cut.â&#x20AC;? VonGerichten is one of 650,000 female cancer patients in this country to participate in the 20-year-old Look Good, Feel Better campaign, sponsored by the Personal Care Products Council Foundation. Free to any cancer patient, the program offers tips from 14,000 makeup and hair professionals from across the country on all things cosmetic: Topics include how to style a wig, tie a head scarf, fake eyebrows and even out discolored skin.

ions to the soil which will damage the roots. Proper light is a necessity for good bloom. Avoid putting African violets in direct sunlight, which can yellow and burn the leaves. A window facing north or east is usually the best. Soils for growing African violets need to remain loose and well-drained. Sphagnum peat moss is the best source of organic matter. Plants may be grown in a mixture of soil, sphagnum peat, and perlite (1 part each by volume). The soil mixture should also be slightly acidic (pH 6.0-6.5). If you really like African Violets and want to see more, you will have an opportunity in the spring. For the first time in Raleigh, the Mid Atlantic African Violet Society will host their annual Convention from April 11- 18 at the Hilton Hotel.

over-watering and under-watering can injure roots. Over-fertilization is usually a bigger problem than under-fertilization. If the growth rate decreases and the leaves gradually become lighter green, fertilizer may be needed. During the winter months, fertilization can be omitted. During the active growing season (spring, summer and fall), any complete, water soluble fertilizer, applied as the label directs, can be used; one formulated for blooming houseplants is preferred. Watering methods for African violets are a source of controversy. Any method which maintains an adequately moist soil is satisfactory. Keep the crown dry, keep cold water off the leaves, and use room temperature water. Watering from the top is the easiest way to give your plants the moisture they need. Apply water to the surface of the soil until it starts to drip out of the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. To water from the bottom, fill the saucer under the pot with water and let stand until the soil surface becomes moist, and then drain off any excess water. It is best not to use water from water softeners nor highly chlorinated water since both will add

The beauty industry has long been aligned with breast-cancer charities, but this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about research to find a cure; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about quality of life, explains executive director Louanne Roark. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a non-branded program, but industry leaders like Estee Lauder and Avon eagerly participate and have donated $10 million worth of product over the years. Most women participate through workshops at 2,500 hospitals, cancer centers, American Cancer Society offices or other community facilities per year. There are self-help videos, workbooks and a Web site for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel comfortable in a group setting or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to one of the classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal is we send everyone home having had a wonderful experience and learning the tools and tricks they can replicate on a daily basis,â&#x20AC;? says Roark. The emphasis is hardly on glamour or vanity, adds Dr. Mary Jane Massie, a psychiatrist at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and a spokeswoman for the Look Good program. But even the least fussy person craves some normalcy, and grooming helps. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the woman who really had never paid much attention to makeup and hair before who seems to get the most out if it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You might not feel like a full functioning person in a family or a community when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re undergoing treatment,â&#x20AC;? Massie says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This program has helped people learn tips to prepare themselves to present to their world in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfortable to them.â&#x20AC;? She adds: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw a beautiful young woman yesterday with hair probably 5 inches long. It looked beautiful, but she had long, beautiful hair her whole life and she thinks people see her as bald and as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cancer victim.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember a day in my life without their constant fighting. Dad has been out of the house for a year now, and our home situation is better. My sisters, on the other hand, are torn apart. They cry at the mention of the word divorce, which has yet to happen. My older sister is having problems at school and self-esteem issues. My younger sister cries for things to be the way they were â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even though everyone was unhappy. My mother and I recognize that we are happier and are ready to make changes, like moving into a new house and proceeding with the divorce. But because of my sisters, she has asked me if my father should move back in. I desperately want progress, but feel it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever come.

Safety comes first in shake roof care ON THE HOUSE

Questions arise about cedar shake roof care. 1. When power-washing a roof, does one add anything to the water, i.e. bleach, soap, etc.? 2. What pressure should one use on the power washer? 3. What type of sealant should one use on the roof, and, if possible, where can I purchase the product? First, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessary to add anything to the water when pressure washing the cedar shakes on your roof. Second, the 2500-3000 psi (pounds per square inch) produced by the pressure washer will be more than enough to strip the roofs surface of dead wood and debris. Pressure washing devices are available for rent at most equipment rental or paint stores. You should look for a 6-3000 machine which is rated to pro-

The chemical can be applied to the roof with a plain old garden sprayer.

Take time to wash, reseal ON THE HOUSE

Thinking about washing and refinishing your deck? Powdered laundry detergent and hot water is usually enough to clean a moderately dirty deck. However, if the deck has seen better days, a chemical wood brightener along with a pressure washing may be whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed. Once clean, we suggest that you moisturize the wood with an oil-base stain or wood preservative. Whatever you do donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy anything with wax in it. When you wet a wood surface that has been sealed with wax the water will bead beautifully. Unfortunately, that beautiful coat of wax doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t penetrate as far beneath the surface as oil does. Worst of all wax evaporates far more rapidly than oil Ăą about 2- to 3-times as fast Ăą a bad thing. A good wood preservative also incorporates chemicals that prevent damage by ultraviolet rays of the sun and from attack by mildew.

DECK CHECK

---

Is your hearing current?

Ready for an upcoming big fall football weekend? Is your deck ready for friends, family and barbecues? Or does it have loose boards with nails popping up? Do a quick but thorough deck check. This time of year cleaning and re-sealing is prudent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably got nails that are slowly working loose, too, but pounding them back in will only yield temporary results. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just work their way back out again in short order. For a longer-lasting fix, pull the loose nails, and either hammer in new ones at a different angle, or, for an even better fix, head down to the hardware store for deck screws. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll solve the problem for good.

duce a volume of 6 gallons of water per minute with a maximum pressure of 3000 psi. Third, there are an almost infinite number of chemicals and chemical combinations that are used to preserve the life of a cedar shake roof. Some are oil-borne others are waterborne. Many of the chemicals have an anti-fungal agent added to ward off mildew and fungus, which are second only to the sun in the level of damage inflicted upon this type of roof. Many of the firms that restore roofs professionally tell us that they always mix a pigment into their preservative in order to protect the roof from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the Sun. Many of the chemicals used by professionals are not readily available to the consumer. But there is one preservative that is used widely by professionals and is available for consumer use as well. Chevron Shingle and Floor Oil from Chevron Chemical Co. It may be purchased in five-gallon containers. The chemical can be applied to the roof with a plain old garden sprayer. Chances are, though, that you may need to retire the sprayer once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used it for this nasty task. And remember, safety first! Working up on the roof, especially when the surface is wet or oily, can be a very dangerous task. The professional wears boots with specially constructed soles. You should exercise extreme caution and be sure to follow the chemical manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions on the label.

In today’s deal from a money game at my club, South was Joe Overberry, who thinks it’s nobler to go down in pursuit of an overtrick than to make his bid. That drives his partners nuts. Joe and his partner bid easily to six diamonds, and West led the jack of hearts: queen, king, ace. Joe took the K-A of trumps and next let the ten of clubs ride. West produced the king and cashed a heart to beat the slam. “Why’d you finesse in clubs?” North asked plaintively. “If I finesse in spades,” Joe explained, “I may take only 12 tricks even if West has the king. But if East has the king of clubs, I make an OVERTRICK.”

You hold: S K 8 6 4 H K 7 6 2 D 4 C 8 5 4 3. The dealer, at your left, opens one club. Your partner doubles, and the next player bids one diamond. What do you say?

Six diamonds was colder than Labrador. After Joe draws trumps, he takes the ace of spades and leads the queen for a ruffing finesse. Joe is home when East has the king and covers, but if East played low, Joe would throw his losing heart. If West won, Joe would ruff the heart return and reach dummy with a trump to pitch his low

ANSWER: You have a few values and must prepare for a competitive auction: The opponents may compete in a minor suit. Bid one spade. If the opening bidder rebids two clubs and two passes follow, you can try two hearts and play at the level of two in the major partner prefers. North dealer Both sides vulnerable

Unless you resolve, rethink or redo, nothing can be accomplished. Pick up the pieces. You can make so many gains professionally, personally and financially if you just do what’s required of yourself quickly and efficiently. Your numbers are 4, 11, 15, 26, 32, 47, 49 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Difficulties at home will leave you questioning if you have made the right choices lately. Before you are too hard on yourself, consider that other people have contributed to the goings on and you are probably better off taking a wait-and-see attitude, even if it doesn’t suit your Aries personality. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Get on track and do something spectacular that will surprise your friends and encourage your family to pitch in and help. An onlooker may be jealous and try to cause problems, so stick to your plans and surround yourself with the people you know and love. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t feel pressured to make a decision if you aren’t ready. Focus on what you can do for others and get involved in a cause that will bring you in contact with creative people of common interests. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you don’t like something, keep it to yourself until you are in a better frame of mind. You are likely to be out of sorts regarding a financial obligation or deal you have made. Take time to think matters through. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A change of plans may upset you at first but, if you move forward without a fuss, things will fall into place. A short trip will be exhilarating and bring you in contact with someone you find fascinating. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Follow your own path and don’t give in to anyone trying to manipulate what you do or where you go. Take control and you will gain ground financially, personally and emotionally. You will gain respect if you take the initiative. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take a break. Trying to work or do things the way others want you to do them will be futile. Instead, give yourself some space so you can recognize why things aren’t going according to plan. Perhaps you need to redirect your efforts. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You should be moving about experiencing new things and taking advantage of the freedom you have to explore new avenues. Travel will enable you to meet someone who can contribute to a work in progress. Love will take you on a strange journey. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may not be seeing the broader picture when it comes to your work or your personal life. Let things unfold naturally and you will avoid some of the pitfalls of making a decision based on partial facts. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Show everyone the side of you that is fun-loving, free-spirited and playful. Concentrate on making the most of the relationships you cherish and sorting through any of the emotional troubles your loved ones have been experiencing. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll view things differently if you put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Compassion, understanding and fair play will get you a whole lot further ahead when dealing with emotional issues, settlements or agreements. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A relationship that is important to you can be brought out into the open. Then you can clarify what you want, what you expect and what your plans for the future might be. ★★★★★ 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.

Not enough fries: Couple throw coins, cones at McDonald’s QUINCY, Mass. (AP) – A Massachusetts couple are accused of hurling coins and safety cones at McDonald’s cashiers in Quincy when they didn’t get enough french fries. Christine Galipeau of Quincy and Eugene Jackson of Boston have plead-

ed innocent to assault and battery in the Tuesday incident. Police say Galipeau threw coins at one cashier and fought her when she got small fries instead of a large order. Jackson is accused of throwing a cone from the mopped floor at the

cashier, then tossing another one at a second cashier who copied their license plate, cutting her nose. Last week in nearby Norwell, Mass., authorities say a couple attacked a man who asked them to stop cursing about a slow order at KFC.

Weightlifting can be done without barbells or dumbbells

ear Dr. Donohue: You have written many times about the benefits that come from weightlifting regardless of a person’s age. Don’t you consider things like chinups and push-ups weightlifting? I have done these kinds of exercise all my life, and they have kept me trim and quite strong. The beauty is there is no special equipment needed except for a chinning bar. – D.J.

BLONDIE

Sure, I consider those exercises excellent resistance exercise. “Resistance” exercise is the word that takes in all types of weightlifting, including chin-ups and push-ups. The weight or resistance being lifted in these exercises is body weight. The push-up is an exercise that’s been a standard for strength building since Hercules opened his gym in ancient Greece. It provides a workout for the upper body – the shoulder muscles (deltoids), the chest muscles (pectorals) and the muscle on the back of the upper arm (the triceps). It’s done lying face down on the ground or floor with hands shoulder-width apart and fingers pointing forward. The body is lifted up by straightening the elbows. The back and legs must be kept in line. When the elbows are fully extended, the body is then lower back down to within an inch of the ground and the next push-up begins. Exhale while pushing up; inhale while lowering the body. This is an exercise too difficult for many. Variations allow everyone to do it. A beginner can do a push-up

by keeping the knees bent on the ground for support. If that’s too hard, then begin the HEALTH push-up in the fully Dr. Paul raised poDonohue sition and ■■■ lower the body to the ground. These variations allow people to build their strength to the point where they can do a regular pushup. People can change the focus of the exercise in a couple of ways. Placing the hand farther apart puts more stress on the chest muscles; placing them closer together, more stress on the triceps. The classic chin-up is done by grasping a bar with bent fingers pointing forward. This exercises the biceps muscle, the muscle on the front of the upper arm, the one that Popeye loves to flex. If you change the grip so that the knuckles point away from the body, you put stress on different muscles and promote symmetrical development. Dear Dr. Donohue: I read your article on swimming. My interest is in water aerobics. How many calories does the average person expend in an hour of water aerobic exercise? I love it, and I think you should mention it to your readers. – C.D. Water aerobics is wonderful exercise. “Aerobics” indicates that large muscles, like the legs, are

in constant motion for an extended amount of time – like biking or jogging on land. Water buoyancy takes stress off joints. Water resistance puts demands on muscles to build muscle size and strength. It’s hard to give you a definite answer about the calorie cost of water aerobics. One aspect of calorie burning in water depends on how deeply a person is immersed in the water. When the water level is neck-high, body weight is greatly reduced, much more than it is if the water level is waist-high. The calorie burning, therefore, is less in deeper water. As a guide, people can burn four to eight calories a minute in performing water aerobics. In one hour, that amounts to almost 500 calories. To burn that many calories, you have to be exerting quite hard. Twohundred and fifty calories is probably a more realistic figure. Dear Dr. Donohue: I will soon be 65. In the past two years, when I do 10 minutes of physical activity (work out with weights), I need to lie down for an hour or more afterward. I have cut down on my workouts. I thought I was in good condition, but now I am not so convinced. Is this age-related? – W.S. I don’t want to be an alarmist, but you need to see your doctor. Ten minutes of exercise shouldn’t wipe you out like that. Exercise is healthy. It also can be dangerous. You must make sure that your heart is up to the demands of exercise.

Lexus brings out convertibles for 2010 BY ANN M. JOB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NUTS & BOLTS

–

There’s no sunroof available in the latest Lexus IS cars. But no one is going to complain. The new-for-2010 Lexus IS 250C and IS 350C are convertibles and the first open-top models in the IS line. With styling reminiscent of the IS sedans, a power-operated hardtop roof that opens or closes in a scant 20 seconds, seats for four, V-6 engines and lots of features, the new convertibles are easy transporters that provide a bonus — a suntan. Among luxury cars with retractable hardtops, the IS convertibles might be considered affordable, if a price of $40,000 or so can be defined that way. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $39,365 for an IS 250C with 204-horsepower V-6 and manual transmission. Add $1,170 for an IS 250C with automatic. But arguably the best of the bunch is the IS 350C, with its larger, 306-horsepower V-6. Starting retail price, including destination charge, for a 2010 IS 350C is $44,815. This model comes only with an automatic transmission. These prices compare

Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the 2010 IS 250C convertible comes in just under $40,000. with the $44,715 starting retail price of the Infiniti G37 Convertible with 325horsepower V-6 and shiftit-yourself automatic that debuted in 2009, and the $45,375 starting retail price for a 2009 BMW 328i Convertible with 230-horsepower, six-cylinder engine and manual transmission. With automatic, the BMW price rises to $46,700. Neither Infiniti nor BMW has announced 2010

prices on their convertibles. The rear-wheel drive IS debuted about a decade ago as Lexus’ smallest car. It was oriented more to younger buyers who want luxury and who might buy a BMW. The IS was one of the few Lexus vehicles to offer a manual transmission, but sales never reached the levels of BMW’s longpopular 3-Series.

Still, the IS sedans are a recommended buy of Consumer Reports magazine, with a predicted reliability of much better than average. And the IS sedans’ starting retail price of $32,180 means they have the lowest starting retail price in the Lexus lineup. The new IS convertibles have the same engines and transmissions as the sedans, so a base model has a 2.5-liter

V-6 producing 185 footpounds of torque at 4,800 rpm, while the 3.5-liter V-6 generates a more healthy 277 foot-pounds at 4,800 rpm. The test IS 350C, with sixspeed automatic transmission, zoomed forward effortlessly in both city and highway traffic. Though there was some noticeable heft in this 3,880-pound IS, the engine had enough lowend “oomph” and top-end

2010 Lexus IS 350C BASE PRICE: $38,490 for IS 250C with manual transmission; $39,660 for IS 250C automatic; $43,940 for IS 350C AS TESTED: $52,580 TYPE: Front-engine, rear-wheel drive, fourpassenger convertible ENGINE: 3.5-liter, double overhead cam, V-6 with dual VVT-i MILEAGE: 18 mpg (city), 25 mpg (highway) TOP SPEED: 141 mph LENGTH: 182.5 inches WHEELBASE: 107.5 inches CURB WEIGHT: 3,880 pounds BUILT AT: Japan OPTIONS: Navigation system with Mark Levinson premium audio and 12 speakers $3,890 highway power for comfortable driving. I pulled out into avenue traffic a couple times and got up to speed before oncoming cars got to me, without a problem. But I paid for it, averaging just 19 miles per gallon with such heavyfooted driving. The government rating is 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway with the larger V-6.

Ragsdale’s D-onovan Smith (12) brings home the bacon for a touchdown as he pushes Southwest Guilford’s Jalen Kitching (25) away during Friday night’s game in High Point.

Tigers tame Cowboys BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Accustomed to riproaring affairs the past few seasons, fans on both sides of the stadium sat quietly through much of Friday night’s game. Blame the Ragsdale offense for dominating so thoroughly in the first half. Credit Southwest Guilford’s defense for throttling the Tigers most of the second. “We were trying to show them the last couple of years were a fluke,” Tigers defensive lineman Cedric Ellison said following Ragsdale’s 35-0 victory. “We had to come out and establish that we were a lot better than them.” Ragsdale scored on four of

its first five possessions. Luke Heavner’s QB sneak ended an eight-play, 53-yard drive highlighted by D-onovan Smith’s 31yard scamper. Smith later scored from 5 yards out after Chris Armwood’s 26yard punt return gave the Tigers a short field. Following a rare three-and-out, Ragsdale used six Smith runs – including a 2-yarder to the end zone – to complete a 62yard drive. One series later, a Ragsdale punt was brought back when Southwest had 12 players on the field. After the Tigers made it on fourth-and-inches, DeSean Anderson cut back on an end-around from 5 yards out to cap the 10-play, 68-yard drive. Kasey Redfern’s powerful PATs and booming kickoffs added to the fun of a 28-0 half.

East Davidson enjoys homecoming win; Thomasville rolls. 3D

BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

Bison edge Vikings GREENSBORO – Max Law’s point-after kick after a 31-yard third-quarter touchdown pass on fourth-and-goal proved to be the difference as High Point Central edged Northwest Guilford 7-6 in a crucial Piedmont Triad 4A Conference matchup Friday night. Northwest scored on a 3-yard run with about six minutes to play, but failed to convert its kick. Central improved to 6-1, 2-0 PTC. Northwest fell to 5-3, 1-2. Central found the end zone on a fly pattern from Drew Adams to Akeem Langham with about seven minutes to go in the third after coach Wayne Jones decided to gamble. “We could have chosen to punt and play defense,” Jones said. “But, we had been stopping ourselves all night with penalties and mistakes. So, I

decided to take a chance and get the score.” Jones said Central wasn’t particularly sharp coming off a bye week. “This was a big win after having last week off,” Jones said. “I have to give the guys credit for coming through. We hurt ourselves at the start. We threw an interception early and just sputtered. But, coming off the bye week, you kind of expect to come out flat and we were. But the guys did a good job.” The Bison finished with 124 yards rushing, led by AlDaQuan Teasley’s 54 yards and another 39 from Lashuran Monk. Adams completed 6 of 17 passes for 110 yards. Central hosts Parkland on Friday, while Northwest goes to Ragsdale. HP Central NW Guilford

Four plays later, the ball went over on downs, and the game played out with only Barry Brown’s 1-yard plunge midway through the fourth adding to the scoreboard. Tigers coach Tommy Norwood lamented a lack of execution offensively for his 7-0 squad, now 3-0 in the Piedmont Triad 4A. But Ragsdale certainly sparkled on defense against Southwest (3-4, 0-2). “Defensively, you can talk about everybody who wore a helmet,” Norwood said. “We got after them good and never let up.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

Not that the Cowboys had much fun. Southwest ran 20 plays for 25 yards in the first two quarters, getting two first downs and punting six times. The second half’s lone offensive highlight was J.J. Garrison’s 43-yard scamper in the fourth quarter for the lone first down of the half. “We have to find a way to score some points, and that’s the bottom line,” Southwest coach Scott Schwarzer said. “It’s like a broken record. It’s frustrating. But, I didn’t get into this business because it’s easy.” For all the frustration, the Cowboys buckled down in the second half. Ragsdale punted three times, and Heavner saw an interception at the goal line by Greg Bridges returned 72 yards for a Southwest highlight.

HPC– Langham 31 pass from Adams (Law kick) NWG – 3 run (kick fail)

HIGH POINT – Tempers were running hot on an unseasonably warm Homecoming night for T. Wingate Andrews. Halftime festivities and a 10-0 Red Raider lead gave way to a second half much like the first – two quarters marked by sloppy play and a stingy Andrews defense. But a chippy fourth quarter could not put a damper on a unit that held Atkins to 136 total yards in a 19-0 victory. “Team-wise, it was the intensity,” said Daniel Pinnix, who had a teamhigh three sacks. “Coach told us to keep playing hard and just called the right stunts (leading to sacks). The holes just opened up for me.” The big plays on defense and special teams proved necessary, as the offense lacked its usual spark. Jamie Smith got things started with an interception on the second play of the game to begin the Raiders’ first scoring drive at the Camel 49. After Quan Stevenson booted a 27yard field goal, Smith added another contribution on the offense via a 6-yard TD run on an end-around. A Mark Johnson punt return and Stevenson’s second field goal of the

evening accounted for the Raiders’ two scores in the second half. With the defense pitching a shutout, expectations were kept to a minimum – namely playing keepaway from Atkins by keeping the ball on the ground. Vashon Dawkins led the way for Andrews’ rushing attack with 22 carries and 103 yards, picking up modest gains that were just enough to keep the opponents at bay. Andrews coach Rodney McKoy came away unimpressed with his offensive line’s performance, however, pointing to lackluster blocking against a vulnerable defense. “We didn’t block poorly, but we didn’t block nearly as well as we did the previous weeks,” McKoy said. “They did a great job sending the blitz and we did a horrible job picking it up. The way we played is unacceptable. We’ve got to quit shooting ourselves in the foot like Barney Fife.” In looking ahead to next week, Andrews (4-3, 1-0) must regroup offensively in its showdown with Trinity for conference supremacy.

HIT AND RUN

he Washington Redskins and Carolina Panthers seem to be natural rivals. They’re reasonably close to each other in NFL geographical terms, and before the Panthers came along, the Redskins owned the television airwaves in North Carolina. You could count on the Redskins vs. somebody just about every Sunday on the tube. Since they first met in 1995, the Redskins vs. Panthers proves stunningly one-sided. Washington holds a 7-1 edge, with the Panthers’ only win a 20-17 home victory in 2003. But a closer look shows just how competi-

tive this rivalry has been. The Redskins won 20-17 in 1995, 24-10 in ‘97, 28-25 in ‘98, 38-36 in ‘99, 20-17 in ‘01 and 17-13 in ‘06. Six of the seven meetings have been decided by a combined 15 points. Wow, I had no recollection the games were that close. Sunday’s clash in Charlotte could be another nailbiter. The Redskins may be 2-2, but their wins came against two of the weakest teams this league has to offer. Beating the Rams 9-7 and the Bucs 16-13 at

home hardly triggers Super Bowl talk. Of course, the Panthers don’t have any wins to speak of. Carolina looked dreadful in losses to Philadelphia, Atlanta and Dallas. A visit by the Redskins could be just what the doctor ordered for the Panthers. Then again, a loss to the Redskins could spell a disastrous season of Irwin R. Allen proportions in Carolina. We should know more about both teams after Sunday’s battle.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 4D www.hpe.com SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2009 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Terps hope practice makes perfect vs. Wake O

n the practice field, Maryland is putting in some long hours. The Terrapins stay on the field until they do things right, according to coach Ralph Friedgen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we are on the right track as far as what we do in practice,â&#x20AC;? Fridgen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get off the practice field quicker. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just insisting we do it the right way, There doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be a lot of screaming, just saying we are doing it again because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it the right way.â&#x20AC;? The numbers suggest the Terps need the work as they get ready to face Wake Forest today at BB&T Field. They are 11th in the Atlantic Coast Conference in total defense, last in scoring defense and rushing defense and sixth in passing defense. They are a little better on the other side of the line, ranking eighth in total offense, sixth in passing and ninth in rushing. On the field, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much right until surprising Clemson 24-21

last Saturday, rallying from a 10-0 first-quarter deficit by scoring 17 points in the second half on the way to improving to 2-3, 1-0 in the league. Before that, their only victory was over Football SPORTS Championship Subdivision member James Greer Madison. Smith â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest improveâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; ment I saw was at the end of the first quarter into the second quarter offensively,â&#x20AC;? Friedgen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing against some good players, we were able to get some movement and our techniques were better and we were able to mount an offense. I thought that was a positive.â&#x20AC;? Even with the positive, Maryland managed 284 yards of total offense, 215 in the air, against the Tigers. Terrapins quarter Chris Turner has thrown 1,186 yards in five games. Torrey Smith is

their most dangerous wide receiver, having caught 21 passes for 449 yards. Daâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rel Scott ranks as the leading rusher with 311 yards on 55 carries. No matter how many troubles the Terrapins had before last Saturday, Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe is aware his squad must play much better than they did against Maryland last year. The trip to College Park resulted in one of the Deaconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worst performances of 2008 as they did little right in a 26-0 drubbing. Wake rushed for 73 yards, while Riley Skinner threw for a then-season low 146 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much pressure against the quarterback,â&#x20AC;? Grobe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offensively, we were really soft at times blocking. We got overpowered in the offensive and defensive lines. They owned us last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offensively, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give the defense a bit of help. We were pretty much nonexistent last year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got

a lot of room to improve if we are going compete with those guys.â&#x20AC;? The improvement, according to Grobe, must include a meaningful running game. That will be closely watched after Wake wound up throwing the 45 times for 361 yards and only mustered 30 yards on the ground in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30-24 victory over N.C. State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was my biggest disappointment last year,â&#x20AC;? Grobe said when asked about his decision not to run against Maryland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went up there hanging our hat on dinking the ball around. We dropped about 100 passes it seemed like. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we have to be careful about. Yeah, 11 (Skinner) can throw the football but you need 10 guys to go with that. If you are just going sit back there and throw it every snap, it makes it easier for people to dial up pass rushes. So we need to run the football. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if we can but we need to do it.â&#x20AC;? gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Blue Devils, Wolfpack set to clash DUKE AT N.C. STATE

---

Who: Duke (2-3) vs. N.C. State (3-2) When: 4 p.m. (ESPNU) Line: N.C. State by 15. Series record: Duke leads 39-36-5. Last meeting: 2008, N.C. State 27-17. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake: Neither team wants to fall to 0-2 in the ACC. The Blue Devils are coming off a close loss to Virginia Tech and have lost 11 straight in the series. The Wolfpack is coming off a loss to Wake Forest and is preparing for consecutive road games. Key matchup: Duke QB Thad Lewis vs. N.C. Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overhauled secondary. Lewis leads the ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top passing offense and is facing a defense that gave up 361 yards passing last week. As a result, N.C. State is planning for three new starters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and maybe all four positions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the secondary. Players to watch: Duke: WR Austin Kelly. The junior has at least five catches in each of the past three games, giving Lewis a reliable target. N.C. State: LB Terrell Manning. Manning is moving into the starting position ahead of Dwayne Maddox as N.C. State continues trying to replace the production lost when top player Nate Irving was sidelined for the season following an offseason car wreck. Facts & figures: The Blue Devils havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beaten the Wolfpack since 1993. ... The Wolfpack has been whistled for 21 penalties in the past two weeks. ... The Wolfpack leads the ACC in total defense and is sixth nationally (239.2 ypg). ... Duke is averaging 28 points per game.

MARYLAND AT WAKE FOREST

---

Who: Maryland (2-3, 1-0) at Wake Forest (3-2, 1-1) When: 6:30 p.m. Line: Wake Forest by 11. Series record: Maryland leads 41-15-1. Last meeting: 2008, Maryland 26-0. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at stake: Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upset of Clemson put Maryland alone atop the ACC Atlantic. Another victory could erase an ugly nonconference schedule and put the Terrapins in position to contend for the division crown. Wake Forest, fresh off a win over N.C. State, seeks its fourth win in five games and to avenge last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ugly loss. Key matchup: Wake Forest QB Riley Skinner vs. Marylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shaky defense. Skinner has set a career high in yards passing for three straight weeks and the Demon Deaconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ACC-leading offense will face a defense giving up 34.8 points a game, 110th in the nation. The Terrapins did force a key fumble late vs. Clemson. Players to watch: Maryland: RB Davin Meggett will likely start after Daâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rel Scott broke his wrist against Clemson. Meggett, son of former NFL RB Dave Meggett, will run behind a line that will likely be without LT Bruce Campbell (knee). Wake: WR Marshall Williams has 18 catches for 252 yards and three touchdowns in the last two games.

Heels have been humbled by consecutive losses to Georgia Tech and Virginia that knocked them from the national rankings and into last place in the ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coastal Division. Georgia Southern is playing an ACC team for the first time and is looking for its second victory against a Bowl Subdivision team. Key matchup: North Carolina RB Shaun Draughn vs. Georgia Southernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run defense. The Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; run game has given them next to nothing lately, with Draughn averaging 25 yards in the losses, and if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything going against an Eagles defense that allowed Wofford to roll up 234 yards on the ground, it could be a long two months in Chapel Hill. Players to watch: Georgia Southern: DB Darrell Pasco has two interceptions in three games, returned a fumble 85 yards for a touchdown against Elon and could frustrate the Tar Heelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; young receivers. North Carolina: DL Robert Quinn leads the ACC in tackles for losses and is a key member of a defense that has been asked to keep the Tar Heels in games long enough for the offense to find its legs. Facts & figures: Eagles are 1-16 against Bowl Subdivision teams, with the lone victory coming five years ago against Florida International. ... Tar Heels rank eighth nationally in total defense. ... UNC has allowed its opponents to score first in four straight games, and Tar Heels have only one first-quarter touchdown all season.

Then, Thorntonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3 with 4:08 remaining tied it at 96. He finished with 19 points and is pushing Morris Peterson for playing time at shooting guard. David West scored 14 points and Peterson had 13.

Hamlin takes pole at Fontana FONTANA, Calif. (AP) – Denny Hamlin won the pole for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Auto Club Speedway. Hamlin averaged 183.870 mph during his qualifying run around the 2-mile oval. The pole is his first of the year and seventh of his career. Hamlin’s last pole came at Richmond in 2008. Greg Biffle will start second after David Reutimmann’s qualifying time was thrown out after his No. 00 Toyota failed postqualifying inspection. Reutimann was bumped to

Nationwide Series to unveil new car in 2010 FONTANA, Calif. (AP) – The NASCAR Nationwide Series will phase in a new car in 2010, with the cars expected to be used full time during the 2011 season. The new car will be unveiled at the July race at Daytona International Speedway. It will also be used in races at Michigan, Richmond and Lowe’s Motorspeedway before being fully integrated in 2011. The move comes on the heels of a meeting be-

tween owners, crew chiefs and NASCAR officials in July. NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said the four races next year will give teams good feedback heading into 2011. NASCAR used a similar plan to roll out the “Car of Tomorrow” on the Sprint Cup circuit in 2007. The car was introduced during the 2007 season and became the official Cup car a year later.

Force Hood leads Funny Car qualifying DINWIDDIE, Va.

Rogers wins pole at Rockingham ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

ROCKINGHAM – After missing Friday’s final practice session due to an engine change, Clay Rogers edged Drew Herring by 96-thousandths of a second to claim the pole for today’s 150-mile USARacing Pro Cup Series race at Rockingham Speedway. Rogers captured his third pole this season and the 25th of his Pro Cup career with a lap of 148.118 miles per hour in his Chevrolet.

CASH FOR GOLD

Herring earned the outside front row starting position with a lap of 147.53 mph in his Fusion. Herring was fastest in practice. A.J. Frank, Mike Garvey and Jeff Agnew completed the top five. Today’s race gets the green flag at 4:15 p.m., following qualifying for Sunday’s ARCA race.

nez sat out most of the year before signing with the Phillies as a free agent late in the season. He went 5-1 with a 3.63 ERA in nine starts. Blanton pitched one inning in relief Thursday, allowing a run in Colorado’s 5-4 win, and Happ got knocked out of the game when Seth Smith hit a hard liner off the lower part of his left leg. X-rays were negative. Manuel hinted that Happ would be unavailable out of the bullpen tonight, an indication he could get the start Sunday. Then again, it could be Blanton or even Game 1 starter Cliff Lee on three days’ rest.

Dodgers refuse to let Pujols beat them ST. LOUIS (AP) – Avoiding Albert Pujols seems to be working for the Dodgers, who are one win away from a firstround playoff sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals. That strategy isn’t about to change heading into Game 3 tonight. The Dodgers got a break in Game 2 when St. Louis outfielder Matt

Holliday dropped a twoout fly ball in the ninth inning, helping them rally for a 3-2 win. Holliday, batting cleanup behind Pujols, homered earlier in the game. The Dodgers have held Pujols to a single in six atbats, and zero at-bats with runners in scoring position. They’ve intentionally walked him three times.

Lackey, Angels start fast ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) – John Lackey hadn’t won a playoff game in seven years, not since he clinched the Angels’ only World Series title as an excitable rookie. During Los Angeles’ slump-snapping shutout of the Red Sox, the Angels’ veteran ace showed Boston just how much he’s grown. Lackey pitched superbly into the eighth inning of Boston’s first scoreless playoff loss in 14 years, and Torii Hunter’s three-run homer in the fifth inning propelled the Angels to a 5-0 victory over their longtime playoff nemesis in their first-round opener late Thursday night. The AL West champion Angels snapped a six-game home playoff losing streak behind Lackey, who used fine control and good de-

fense to keep Boston off the playoff scoreboard for the first time in 70 games. Boston didn’t even manage an extra-base hit in the first scoreless pitching performance in the Angels’ 53-game postseason history. Game 2 was late Friday night at Angel Stadium, with Boston’s Josh Beckett facing Jered Weaver. While Lackey kept Boston off the postseason scoreboard for the first time since Game 2 of the 1995 division series against Cleveland, Hunter’s shot broke open a scoreless game. It also seemed to topple any mental barriers Los Angeles might have faced against the Red Sox, who ended three of the Angels’ past five seasons in the division series, winning nine of 10 games.

Panthers’ Stewart questionable CHARLOTTE (AP) – Carolina RB Jonathan Stewart is questionable for Sunday’s game against Washington, while kickoff returner Mike Goodson won’t play. Goodson was ruled out Friday as he recov-

ers from a concussion. Stewart was limited this week because of pain in his left Achilles’ tendon. Safety Chris Harris (knee), linebacker Na’il Diggs (ribs) and defensive end Everette Brown (ankle) are probable.

FONTANA, Calif. (AP) – NASCAR is reducing the size of the restrictor plates used by Sprint Cup cars at Talladega in hopes of making it safer for drivers. NASCAR director of business affairs Bob Smith said the move will reduce horsepower and take a little bit of top-end speed off the cars. The track announced earlier this week it is raising the fence at the massive 2.66-mile oval from 14 to 22 feet following a safety analysis after Carl Edwards’ last-lap crash during the spring race sent him flying into the fence. Debris from the accident injured seven fans in the stands, the most serious a broken jaw suffered by a teenage girl.

Juan Pablo Montoya, third in points, will start fourth but damaged his car on his second qualifying lap after scraping the wall. Tony Raines and Mike Wallace failed to qualify for the 43-car field. Brian Vickers qualified 33rd. Dave Blaney was 34th, while Bobby Labonte starts 36th. Tony Raines and Mike Wallace failed to qualify.

DENVER (AP) – Pedro Martinez is getting the ball and the call in another big game. Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel chose the aging right-hander over J.A. Happ and Joe Blanton, who made cameo appearances out of the bullpen Thursday, to face the Colorado Rockies in Game 3 of their NL playoff series tonight. The best-of-five series is tied at one game each. Martinez is 6-2 with a 3.40 ERA in the postseason, and Manuel said he likes his history in cold weather, too. The forecast for Game 3 calls for temperatures dipping into the 20s with snow flurries. The 37-year-old Marti-

Feds warn airlines on lost bag payments WASHINGTON – Airlines shouldn’t be too cheap when it comes to helping customers whose bags are lost. The Transportation Department said Friday airlines can’t arbitrarily limit reimbursement for travelers who have to replace necessities when bags are lost or delayed. The department noted that several airlines have policies saying they’ll only reimburse passengers for necessities purchased more than 24 hours after they arrive without their baggage. They also limit payments to outbound trips, meaning customers foot the bill for replacing items lost on the flight back home.

Trade deficit narrows to $30.7 billion WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. trade deficit unexpectedly narrowed in August as exports posted a small gain, while imports fell on a big drop in demand for foreign oil. The fourth straight rise in exports was an encouraging sign that the global economy has started to recover from a severe recession that began in the United States and quickly spread to other parts of the world. But many economists expect the deficit to rise in coming months on the back of a rebounding U.S. economy, which will start importing more foreign products.

The Commerce Department said Friday that the trade deficit declined 3.5 percent to $30.7 billion, surprising economists who had expected higher oil prices to push the imbalance to $33 billion. Oil prices did shoot up, but the volume of shipments dropped sharply in August. For August, exports of goods and services edged up 0.2 percent to $28.2 billion, the highest level since December.

Senate to review sale of Diebold WASHINGTON – A U.S. Senate committee plans to review potential problems in the sale of an Ohio company’s voting-machine unit to its market-leading rival. The review of the Diebold (DEE’-bold) Inc. sale of Premier Election Solutions was announced Friday by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., head of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee. Schumer says the deal means Election Systems & Software Inc. of Omaha, Neb., controls a big majority of the U.S. voting-system market. He says that could jeopardize the integrity of elections.

Canada’s jobless rate fell in September TORONTO – Canada’s unemployment rate fell to 8.4 percent in September, the first decline in almost a year. Statistics Canada reported Friday that the country added 30,600 jobs last month, several times more than economists expected. It was the second consecutive month of employment gains in Canada. The jobless rate was 8.7 percent in August. It was the first monthly decline since the recession began last fall in Canada.

Acorda shares plunge on negative review WASHINGTON – Shares of Acorda Therapeutics plummeted Friday after the Food and Drug Administration issued a negative opinion that questioned the safety and effectiveness of the company’s multiple sclerosis drug.

a range of other currencies since the beginning of the year. The dollar is expected to remain under pressure in coming months, due partly to soaring U.S. budget deficits. A weaker dollar boosts exports by making U.S. products cheaper on foreign markets. Through the first eight months of this year, the trade deficit is running at an annual rate of $357 billion, about half of last year’s $695.9 billion imbalance. That huge decline reflects the recession that sharply dampened demand for imported goods.

Hummers sit on the lot at Tustin Hummer, a dealership in Tustin, Calif. General Motors Co. said Friday it has signed an agreement to sell control of its iconic Hummer brand to a Chinese heavy equipment maker.

GM sells Hummer to Chinese manufacturer DETROIT (AP) – Hummer, the off-road vehicle that once epitomized America’s love for hulking trucks, is now in the hands of a Chinese heavy equipment maker. General Motors Co. and Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Corp. finally signed the much-anticipated deal for GM to sell the brand on Friday. Tengzhong will get an 80 percent stake in the company, while Hong Kong investor Suolang Duoji, who indirectly owns a big stake in Tengzhong through an investment company, will get 20 percent. The

investors will also get Hummer’s nationwide dealer network. Financial terms were not disclosed, although a person briefed on the deal said the sale price was around $150 million. The person did not want to be identified because the terms were being kept private. GM’s bankruptcy filing last summer said that the brand with military roots could bring in $500 million or more. Suolang Duoji also is the controlling shareholder and chairman of Lumena Resources Corp., a Hong Kong listed mining company.

GM and Tengzhong said in a statement that the transaction still must be approved by the U.S. and Chinese governments. Chinese regulators initially expressed reservations about Tengzhong’s ability to run such an enterprise. Hummer’s current management team will stay with the new company, which will be headquartered either in Detroit or suburban Auburn Hills, Mich. James Taylor, the GM executive who has run Hummer recently, will remain as its chief executive officer.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators will look into complaints by AT&T Inc. that Google Inc.’s free messaging and calling service, Google Voice, blocks calls to rural communities where local phone companies charge high connection fees. The Federal Communications Commission on Friday sent a letter to Google requesting information about its Voice service, which lets people sign up for one number that can route incoming calls to cell, office or home phones. The service also lets users place calls, including international calls, at low rates. As part of a broader quarrel with Google, AT&T has complained that Google Voice blocks calls to phone numbers in some rural communities to reduce the access charges it must pay. So-called “common carrier” regulations prevent AT&T and other big phone companies from blocking those same calls. Google Voice “has claimed for itself a significant advantage over providers offering competing services,” AT&T said in a letter to the FCC. Among other things, the FCC is asking Google to explain how its Voice service works, whether it blocks calls to certain numbers and whether it informs users that it does so.

Watchdog doubts goals of loan relief plan WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration’s effort to help homeowners avoid foreclosure may not achieve its goal of helping 3 million to 4 million borrowers and may simply delay mortgage defaults for many, a government watchdog group says. The Congressional Oversight Panel, charged

with making regular assessments of the $700 billion financial rescue fund enacted last year, said the Treasury Department should consider whether to improve the current $50 billion program or adopt new programs to meet an expected rise in foreclosures fed by increased unemployment.

The report comes a day after the Treasury said its mortgage relief effort has helped 500,000 homeowners and that it was still on track to help up to 4 million homeowners within three years. “We’ve put significant pressure on servicers to ramp up their efforts,” said Housing Secretary Shaun

Donovan. “We’re holding them to higher performance standards.” But the oversight panel, chaired by Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren, concluded that the foreclosure crisis has now moved beyond the subprime mortgage market that ensnared many homeowners, particularly low-income families.

The program, the report states, was not designed to deal with foreclosures caused by unemployment. Foreclosures, the report said, are now stalking families who took out conventional, fixed-rate mortgages and put down payments of 10 to 20 percent on homes that would have been within their means in a normal market.

BMW to add 700 production jobs in S.C. SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) – BMW Manufacturing Co. will add 700 temporary workers to its South Carolina work force. The company said Friday that will create two production shifts at its Greer plant.

Hiring will be handled through MAU Inc. and Tier One Solutions. They’ll first contact former BMW workers to find out if they are able to return to work. BMW Manufacturing President Josef Kerscher says the company has to

have flexibility and described its current market as a roller coaster. Slowing demand has cut production to 80 hours weekly this year. The additional shifts will increase that to 100 hours. Production was 110 hours last year.

NEW YORK (AP) – The stock market is keeping its momentum going, giving shares their best week in more than two months. Moderate gains on Friday led by health care and utility stocks pushed major indexes to their best weekly performance since July. A rebound in the dollar weighed on energy and material stocks. Bond prices tumbled, extending the previous day’s losses, as the Treasury market struggled to absorb $71 billion of new supply auctioned off this week in the government’s ongoing efforts to fund its stimulus programs. The stock market’s seven-month rally was put firmly back on track this week after two down weeks driven by disappointing economic data. Major stock indicators rose 4 percent for the week.

Investors cheered more signs that the economy is healing, including growth in service industries, a surprise profit from aluminum maker Alcoa Inc. and the first gain in retail sales in over a year. On Friday, the dollar drew attention as it recovered some of its recent losses against other currencies after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke reassured markets that the U.S. central bank will wind down its extraordinary stimulus measures when the time is right. According to preliminary calculations, the Dow rose 78.07, or 0.8 percent, to 9,864.94, its highest close of the year. The S&P 500 index rose 6.01, or 0.6 percent, to 1,071.49, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 15.35, or 0.7 percent, to 2,139.28.

Citigroup dumps Phibro division Oil prices nearly NEW YORK (AP) – Citigroup Inc. is removing one of the irritants in its relationship with the government, its Phibro commodities trading division that is paying one trader an estimated $100 million this year. The deal announced Friday carries a tradeoff for Citigroup: While the $250 million sale to Occidental Petroleum Corp. means a bit less government scrutiny, it also means the bank is losing hundreds of millions of dollars in annual income that could help it repay the Treasury, which has given Citigroup $49 billion in bailout money. Phibro, which makes most of its money through oil and natural gas trades, earned an average $371 million annually during the past five years. Citigroup sold it for about $250 million, which means Occidental could recoup its investment in less than a year. A Citigroup official with knowledge of the deal said the bank wanted to dispose of Phibro by the end of the year. The official, who spoke on condition of anonym-

flat as dollar strengthens THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FILE | AP

Citigroup CEO Vikram S. Pandit speaks at the National Summit in Detroit. Citigroup Inc., the recipient of a multibillion-dollar bailout from taxpayers, said Friday it sold its commodities trading unit to Occidental Petroleum Corp. for $250 million. ity because she wasn’t authorized to discuss the deal publicly, said Citigroup considered Phibro a “political hot potato” that would hurt the company despite its financial success. Occidental Petroleum spokesman Richard S. Kline said Citigroup approached Occidental about a month ago, seek-

ing a buyer for Phibro. “There obviously was some pressure from the government to do this,” Kline said. Noting that Citigroup sold Phibro for a relatively small amount, he said, “if they had liquidated the business, they would get about what we’re paying.” Officials at the Treasury Department declined to

comment directly when asked whether the government had pressured Citigroup to dump Phibro, its huge pay packages and the volatility that goes along with trades in the energy market. The government now has a 34 percent stake in Citigroup, putting the bank under close watch by federal officials.

Oil prices were essentially flat to end the week after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said this week that interest rates will have to be raised when the economy recovers in order to avoid inflation. It has been the weak dollar that has attracted billions in investments in energy markets this year because oil is priced in the U.S. dollar, essentially making crude cheaper globally. The dollar bounced back on Friday following Bernanke’s comments, and crude prices rose only 8 cents after they had rallied strongly Thursday wheat he U.S. currency hit a 14-month low against the euro. Benchmark crude for November delivery settled at $71.77 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The Paris-based Inter-

national Energy Agency raised its expectations for oil demand in 2010, but not by much. The IEA said demand will increase by 1.7 percent, largely from rebounding economies in the Americas and in Asia. Major corporations and consumers have pared back on energy use as they ride out the recession. Americans, the biggest energy consumers in the world, have cut way back on driving for the past year. Yet it has been the falling dollar that has driven oil prices higher for months. Bernanke said Thursday at a fed conference that interest rates will remain near a record low for an extended period. “At some point, however, as economic recovery takes hold, we will need to tighten monetary policy to prevent the emergence of an inflation problem down the road,” Bernanke said.

76 children dead of swine flu ATLANTA (AP) – Health officials said Friday that 76 U.S. children have died of swine flu, including 19 new reports in the past week – more evidence the new virus is unusually dangerous for the young. The regular flu kills between 46 and 88 children a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That suggests deaths from the new H1N1 virus could dramatically outpace children’s deaths from seasonal flu,

if swine flu continues to spread as it has. CDC officials say 10 more states, a total of 37, now have widespread swine flu. A week ago, reports suggested that cases might be leveling off and even falling in some areas of the country, but that did not turn out to be an enduring national trend. “We are seeing more illness, more hospitalizations, and more deaths,” the CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat said at a press

conference Friday. The new virus, first identified in April, is a global epidemic. The CDC doesn’t have an exact count of all swine flu deaths and hospitalizations, but existing reports suggest more than 600 have died and more than 9,000 have been hospitalized. Health officials believe millions of Americans have caught the virus. The virus is hitting young people harder.

This image, provided by NASA and taken shortly after the Centaur rocket impacted the moon, was taken from the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite Friday morning.

Scientists celebrate moon crash; public yawns WASHINGTON (AP) – NASA’s great lunar fireworks finale fizzled. After gearing up for the space agency’s much-hyped mission to hurl two spacecraft into the moon, the public turned away from the sky Friday anything but dazzled. Photos and video of the impact showed little more than a fuzzy white flash. In social media and live television coverage, many people were disappointed at the lack of spectacle. One person even joked that someone hit the pause button in mission control. Yet scientists involved in the project were downright gleeful. Sure, there were no immediate pictures of spewing plumes of lunar dust that could contain water, but, they say, there was something more important:

chemical signatures in light waves. That’s the real bonanza, not pictures of geyser-like eruptions of debris, the scientists said. The mission was executed for “a scientific purpose, not to put on a fireworks display for the public,” said space consultant Alan Stern, a former NASA associate administrator for science. Scientists said the public expected too much. The public groused as if NASA delivered too little. The divide was as big as a crater. “We’ve been brainwashed by Hollywood to expect the money shot, like ’Deep Impact’ or when Bruce Willis saves us from a comet,” said physicist and television host Michio Kaku, who was not part of the mission. “Science is not done that way.”
