Repo man stays busy in tough times BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Dan Bryant’s business has improved during the recession, but there are moments he wishes that wasn’t the case. Bryant operates his small enterprise, Bryant’s Repo of Thomasville, as part of a web of repossession specialists who retrieve vehicles and other personal property when people fall too far behind on payments. He typically works for financial companies or other outlets, such as independent car dealers, that have a contractual agreement with a customer to make set

payments to maintain possession of a piece of property. Through September, Bryant’s Repo recorded a 21 percent increase from the same period in 2008. How Bryant reacts to a repossession, commonly involving a car, relates to the circumstances of the owner. “It bothers me when families are trying to make it, and you have to take their form of transportation. But others give untruths

on their application and put down a down payment and then have no intention of paying,” he said. Repossessions can take unusual twists, Bryant said. “You run across some people that may buy a car for their daughter. And when mom and dad get in a lot of financial strain, it’s hard to tell your daughter in college that you have to take her car back. So they just won’t tell you where the car is at,” said Bryant, who’s been in the repossession business six years. Often Bryant will work late at night or early in the morning, repossessing a vehicle while someone is

Layaway gains popularity with consumers again BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – An age old method to financing retail purchases may be gaining popularity with consumers once again after fading into the background. In light of economic struggles and restricted credit card limits, retailers who offer layaway services say they have seen an uptick in its use, especially in the last year. “Our layaway service is up, and it seems to be that more people are using it this year than last year,” said Robert Hayes, store manager for Kmart at 2850 S. Main St. in High Point. “It’s basic needs type of items, including clothing and winter jackets, that they’re putting on layaway.” The store’s layaway policy requires shoppers to pay 10 percent of their total purchase up front. The items then can be paid off in eight weeks, with 25 percent paid every two weeks. Hayes said he noticed a new interest in the service in July when parents began using it to buy basic school supplies. “For the first time,

we were seeing people put notebooks and backpacks and things they didn’t usually put on layaway,” he said. “They just don’t have the credit or the cash to buy it right away, so they put it on layaway because they need those items.” With the National Retail Federation projecting that consumers will spend 1 percent less in total holiday retail sales this year due to high unemployment rates, Hayes expects the service’s popularity to continue to grow. Parents also have begun to layaway the usual toys and games for the holiday season, he added. Barbara Fowler, a shopper in the store on Tuesday, said she understood the benefits of a layaway program in today’s economy. “People should layaway instead of using charge cards,” Fowler said. “That way, they wouldn’t get into trouble.” A former layaway user, Janky Tharp said she stopped using the service after her family began cutting back overall on holiday spending. “I used to layaway years ago, and I can

Program helps put buyers in foreclosed homes BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – An infusion of federal money for buyers of foreclosed properties is now available through the city. High Point got $2.625 million through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, and the funding will be used to help with the acquisition and repair of properties in areas of the city with the highest amounts of foreclosed homes. “We think there should be some demand,” said Mike McNair, director of the city’s Community Development and Housing Department, which is administering the funds. “In uncertain times, you can’t tell until you get it out

there. It’s an opportunity to move some property and all the good things that go along with that.” Data compiled by the city last year revealed about 400 foreclosed properties in High Point, with the most in the 27265 zip code. The area encompasses north High Point and many moderate to higher-income neighborhoods. Under the program, participants must be first-time homebuyers or someone who has not owned a home in the last three years. Buyers can receive a deferred loan of up to $7,500 for down payment assistance and may be eligible to access up to $20,000 in repair services after the home has been purchased.

TRIAD – The repossession of personal property, such as cars, by agents of lenders ties into the most basic of business documents – the contract. The authority for creditors to repossess vehicles and other property stems from the contract signed between the lender and borrower, said Charles Szypszak, an attorney with expertise in property law with the N.C. Institute of Government in Chapel Hill. “You give property rights as a security for a debt. If you don’t pay the debt, the secured creditor can sell the property to pay the debt. The borrower does have the right to go to court and get a judicial intervention, but normally there isn’t a contest about whether the amount is owed,” he said. An agent representing

sive when you are taking their car,” Bryant said. Last Wednesday, Bryant said he had a knife pulled on him by a woman as he arrived to repossess her vehicle. He said he was able to diffuse the situation without it leading to an arrest. Contrary to common assumptions, repossessions nationally haven’t been on a straight-line increase since the recession’s onset, said Art Blanchette, a businessman from Indianapolis and immediate past president of the American Recovery Association trade group. As a recession continues and people become more frugal, they purchase fewer big-ticket items and borrow less money, he said, so the number of repossessions can decline. “The banks also are

Dell closure heats up incentives debate A desktop computer factory that then-Gov. Mike Easley’s administration argued could ultimately generate 8,000 jobs inside and outside the plant’s walls now will be closed by the end of January, in part because consumers want laptops instead.

“They could have succeeded. It’s a gamble,” said Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston, the primary sponsor of the state incentives package targeting Dell that was approved hastily in a one-day legislative session in November 2004. “You take a chance

and you roll the dice.” Dell’s withdrawal from North Carolina, which was announced Wednesday, has renewed debate over the state’s use of targeted tax incentives to attract specific out-of-state business and encourage companies already in the state to expand.

The course featured a muddy water hole and two log obstacles. in Newry. They covered the 278-yard course in 54.45 seconds. For their effort, the couple won 97-pound Lacey Castro’s

weight in beer and five times her weight in cash – $485. Teams from 11 states competed in the 10th annual race in which a man has to carry a woman, or vice versa, over an obstacle course. As the North American champs, the Castros are eligible to compete in the world championships in Finland next July.

ACCURACY

BOTTOM LINE

more apt to let people go longer on delinquencies,” Blanchette said. As a recession wanes, and more lending and consumer buying takes place, repossessions actually can increase because more people are taking out loans for vehicles, Blanchette said. Bryant said the most common repossessions he handles involve large vehicles, such as the Escalade, Expedition, Excursion and Yukon. But other repossessions on the upswing include all-terrain vehicles and even riding lawn mowers, he said. “It’s simply a reflection of the economy – people don’t have the means to generate the income or revenue that they were used to five years ago,” he said.

REPO MAN

Ferndale to host HPV vaccination clinic ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

a creditor can repossess a piece of property without judicial or law enforcement involvement “if they can do it peaceably,” he said. Repossession agents have to abide by Fourth Amendment constitutional protections, meaning they can’t “break down doors” to get to a piece of property, such as a vehicle in a locked garage, Szypszak said. “That’s kind of the gray area. What these repo agents have to do is figure out ways to do it in ways that aren’t confrontational,” he said. Usually, repossessions don’t lead to direct involvement through the courts or law enforcement, Szypszak said. Repossessions can go to court if the borrower wants to dispute whether he is behind in payments and has defaulted on possession of the property, he said. Law enforcement can become involved if a confrontation escalates between a repossession agent and the borrower during an incident.

JOHN HOOD: These health care reform numbers make my head hurt. TOMORROW

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

The nation’s problems begin with lack of jobs All North Carolina elected officials from both parties at the local, state and national level need to remember ... it’s about jobs “stupid,” not health care or the environment. Let’s put it in simple terms; without jobs, there is very little spending because people don’t have money. Without spending, companies cut back or shut down further reducing jobs, which leads us to ... go ahead you know ... less spending ... starting to get the picture? Thursday’s headline in the Enterprise was “Dell closing Triad plant.” Another 900 jobs gone. The most important part of the equation to “fix” the economy is jobs. This is not rocket science. Jobs bring prosperity. Jobs – real jobs – bring benefits such as health care coverage. So, doesn’t it make sense to create an environment that is conducive for companies to locate here – in America, in North Carolina? Can Obama, Hagan, Burr, Perdue hear us now? Is our system broke? You bet, but, fix the biggest problem first – jobs. Manage imports with import taxes and duties. Create favorable environments for companies here with tax incentives. Create a working relationship between government and companies to manage the environment not just “harsh” expensive regulations to gain votes from the special interest groups. Find the compromise that works for both! Citizens are equally part of the problem as well as the fix. Votes count. Demand answers as well as accountability. If you allow elected officials to continue doing nothing while jobs are outsourced with unfavorable trade agreements, unequal import duties, more restrictive environmental regulations than the rest of the world, you’re going to live under government care – meaning unemployment or some version of government controlled health care. You will never have more than the government wants you to

We should fight the war right here at home For years, we have heard from the left that the real war was in Afghanistan and the Iraq war was Bush’s war.

If there is a little bit of thought put into the process, you can figure, now that we are closer to winning in Iraq ,the heat is on in the “real war.” It got too hot for the troublemakers to stay in Iraq and now they are in Afghanistan, fighting in the mountain terrain where they are safer. We now, if you haven’t noticed, have new leaders running our country. They are “General” Joe Biden and “General” Nancy Pelosi. I personally feel much safer now. While our government sits and twiddles its thumbs, troops are dying and our allies are getting probably more skittish, especially the Germans, who are

used to getting something done. Our danger, as I have said from the beginning, is right here in our own country. I saw in Shanksville, Pa., recently what our friends in this country can do for our lives when I visited the Flight 93 Temporary Memorial. I talked to a parent there who lost a daughter that day and who comes there every day he possibly can. She was killed by Muslims that were residing in this country, not Afghanistan or Iraq. Our enemies thrive on our good will toward men. We have to think differently to win this religious war designed to change the world. Remember there have been many Crusades through time. This is just another one. KEN SAWYER High Point

Job seekers beware of employment offerings Times are hard and unemployment is extremely high, but instead of assisting the unemployed, our employment agencies are being deceitful to us all. Most agencies do not allow a walk in, all applicants should apply online. Constant phony ads are run, some in the newspapers, other on

free sites like craigslist, Monster. com and Yahoo. Jobs flourish with these deceitful ads. Desperate people are rushing to be the first in line for a new job posting, only to be neglected, because the ad is really only a ploy. My personal opinion is these agencies are actually hoping someone employed will be looking to better themselves, therefore creating a job opening for these agencies to sell. I have been unemployed for 15 months and have seen this over and over again. I may be a little crazy, but I never apply for a position which is over my head either in education or work experience. There actually should be laws to protect all of us who are in a desperate search for work, instead of forcing us to hope for something that is no more real than a wish. I truly believe when the job market does finally open, most of these agencies will never be able to gain the trust of the public again! DEBORAH CARTER Thomasville

don’t think you can leap from that to the conclusion that the only war dead that the cross honors are the Christian war dead. I think that’s an outrageous conOPINION clusion.” But Eliasberg’s Leonard conclusion was, of Pitts course, perfectly ■■■ valid and Scalia’s obstinate insistence that the cross is a generic symbol manages to simultaneously demean Christianity and deftly illustrate the sort of bullying the Constitution discourages. How easily and readily the majority embraces the myopic view that its symbols and norms represent us all. That said, I keep wondering what good can come of this. The plaintiff is said to be a devout Catholic, so we can take it on – ahem – faith that he is motivated solely by principle. For the record, the principle is one I support. You need only look at Iran to know the separation of church and state is a good thing. You do not post the Ten Commandments in court for the same reason you do not mandate prayer in schools or require Bible study to get a job: there is a coercive effect that is wholly unfair to those of other faiths or no faith at all. But I have trouble seeing the coercive effect of a cross in the middle of nowhere. That, it seems to me, is an issue most effectively judged not in a court of law but one of common sense. To live at peace in a pluralistic society is to perfect the

Legal argument, common sense cross at court C hristmas is probably unconstitutional. I’m no lawyer, but the logic seems unassailable to me. Consider: Santa Claus aside, Christmas is an explicitly Christian holiday and the only holiday of any religion to be observed by the federal government. Which would seem to violate the First Amendment edict that Congress “shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” Yet to the best of my admittedly-limited knowledge, no one has ever sued Christmas before the Supreme Court. Not that I’m trying to give any ideas. No, I’m only trying to tease out an opinion I can live with in a case the court heard last week, about a cross in the Mojave Desert. The original cross (it has been replaced a number of times over the years) was erected in 1934 as a tribute to the dead of World War I and sits in a remote corner of what is now the Mojave National Preserve. Its legal troubles began 10 years ago with a former employee of the National Park Service who sued because he thought the cross an improper display on federal land in that it celebrated one faith over others. It’s a contention Justice Antonin Scalia sharply disputed last week. “It’s erected as a war memorial,” he said. “I assume it is erected in honor of all the war dead.” To which Peter Eliasberg, a lawyer representing the American Civil Liberties Union shot back: “I have been in Jewish cemeteries. There is never a cross on a tombstone of a Jew.” Scalia was unconvinced: “I

Indeed, by the same reasoning, one might sue cities that allow crosses to be planted at roadsides where traffic fatalities have occurred.

U.N. chief: Fraud in Afghan vote KABUL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The top U.N. official in Afghanistan on Sunday acknowledged â&#x20AC;&#x153;widespread fraudâ&#x20AC;? in the disputed presidential election and rejected allegations from a former deputy that he covered up cheating to smooth the path to victory for President Hamid Karzai. The remarks by Norwegian diplomat Kai Eide appeared designed to win back respect for the entire election process ahead of a ruling by investigators on whether fraud was extensive enough in the Aug. 20 balloting to require a runoff.

Minutes later, a second explosion took place,â&#x20AC;? he said. Such explosions coming in quick succession are usually designed to target rescuers and security forces who rush to the scene to assist and were a hallmark of the insurgent group, al-Qaida in Iraq, during the height of the insurgency.

RANDOLPH COUNTY – Randolph County Sheriff Maynard Reid said it makes sense to place a deputy as a school resource officer at ArchdaleTrinity Middle School instead of an Archdale police officer. Last week, the Randolph County Board of Commissioners approved a request from Reid for his sheriff’s office to provide a school resource officer to the middle school. According to Reid, the request will not require any additional county funds. Currently, the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office has a school resource officer at every middle and high school in the Randolph County system, except Archdale-Trinity Middle School. The Archdale Police Department has had an officer at the middle school for the last five or six years, said Archdale Police Chief Darrell Gibbs. “If we could take over at that school, we would have all the county schools under one umbrella,” Reid said of why he made the request. “A lot of times we do training in the summer, and it might of been where he couldn’t participate. We want everybody on the same page when it comes to looking after the safety of the children in this county.” Funds for the school resource officer’s $32,636 salary will be transferred from the city of Archdale to Randolph County, Reid said. According to Reid, the deputy will replace Archdale Police Officer Jeff Allred on Friday. Gibbs said he supports the move so the police department can get Allred, who he called very experienced, on the road. “The sheriff’s office has all the programs set up to work in the schools, like the DARE program and everything,” Gibbs said. “They have a larger organization than we do. We could really use the officer on the road because he has the experience. They pretty much handle the schools.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

After a long career, Orr still has a passion for the ministry. “It’s special to do what you feel like God put you here to do,” he said. “I enjoy people. I enjoy ministering to people. It’s very rewarding because you can see some lives change. You can see some people who get excited about what the Lord wants to do in their lives and the church. It’s very exciting.” As pastor of Brentwood Baptist Church, Orr hopes “to reach some people” and try to see if he can get the church a “little more established.” The church currently has about 100 members, he said. “We are hoping to change the name of the church,” Orr said. “It used to be on Brentwood Street, and Brentwood doesn’t mean a thing to these people in this community.

TRINITY – Candidates in Trinity’s mayoral and City Council races will face each other Thursday night in a forum hosted by the Archdale-Trinity Chamber of Commerce. “This forum offers citizens the chance to meet the candidates and ask them tough questions,” said Beverly Nelson, ArchdaleTrinity Chamber of Commerce president. “They deserve to hear from those who want their vote.

A cameraman films the house where Irish boy band Boyzone lead singer Stephen Gately died Saturday while on vacation in the village of in Port Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Andratx on the Spanish island of Mallorca on Sunday.

Boy band singer dies in Spain PORT Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ANDRATX, Mallorca (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stephen Gately, a singer with the Irish boy band Boyzone who made headlines when he came out as gay a decade ago, has died while on vacation in Spain, the group said on its Web site. He was 33. Gately â&#x20AC;&#x153;tragically diedâ&#x20AC;? on Saturday while visiting the island of Mallorca, the band said in a brief statement. The cause of death was not immediately clear. Gerald Kean, a Gately family friend in Ireland, said Sunday the singer died of natural causes, without identifying them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no foul play involved, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not suicide. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a tragic accident is what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy that that is correct information,â&#x20AC;? Kean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nothing untoward. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not drugs, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not suicide. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not murder. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a fight. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told.â&#x20AC;? Kean said an autopsy was expected to be conducted Tuesday. Gately and his partner

Andrew Cowles, who were wed in a civil union in 2006, were in Gately Mallorca together, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At present we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have too many details,â&#x20AC;? the statement said. Members of the group were expected to arrive at Palma de Mallorca international airport Sunday afternoon. Spanish police said they were called to a house near Port dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Andratx on the western tip of the island on Saturday afternoon. The cause of death was unknown and there were no signs of violence, a police spokesman said, on condition of anonymity in keeping with police rules. He said there was likely to be an autopsy. Boyzone members Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch said they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely devastated by the loss of our friend and brother, Stephen.â&#x20AC;?

County offers medication disposal ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

Volunteers take a break from clearing a path on a newly constructed bridge at The Refuge during a camp work day.

Students help build camp from the ground up GREENVILLE (AP) – Two summers ago, when Patricia Suttle brought youth from her church in Garner to The Refuge, a Christian camp in Greene County, there were no cabins, no bath house and no dining hall. Suttle didn’t ask for a refund; she asked if the teens could come back for the same experience the next year. They did, along with groups of volunteers from other states, to this largely undeveloped camp and retreat center along Contentnea Creek. Here, teen campers don’t just hike nature trails; they clear them. They don’t just fish; they build piers. “Part of summer camp this summer was a program called ‘Summer Build,’ where students actually raised money for their projects and came and spent a week with us working,” said Sammy Hudson, ex-

ecutive director for Son Set Ministries, an interdenominational nonprofit organization that operates The Refuge. “Most of the kids, they like to say, ‘We can go to a camp anytime. It’s not every day you get a chance to build a camp.’ ” The Daily Reflector of Greenville reported that this past summer, students and other volunteers helped paint porches, create obstacle courses and build canoe ramps. Their efforts are designed to help launch what organizers envision will be an $8 million camp and retreat center that will include, among other things, a recreation gym, worship center and cabins for up to 300. For now, campers must bunk at a nearby church. For bathing, they use portable showers – or one of the lakes. Even so, large groups of kids and teenagers immersed themselves in

activities at the camp this summer. Still, Chuck Stokes, a farmer who donated the land for The Refuge, said some campers have arrived and asked, “Where is it?” “Can you imagine getting on a bus in Annapolis, Md., or Alabama and going to this place?” Stokes asked. “That’s amazing. That’s the true mission spirit. So wouldn’t it make sense that this place would be built largely by missionaries?” In the spring of 2008, Suttle’s youth group members at Garner United Methodist were planning their annual mission trip to West Virginia. When Hudson, who grew up attending Garner United Methodist, told Suttle about The Refuge, she decided to move the mountain trip aside. “I called him back and asked him if he would consider letting us come there as a work team,” she said. “It was something new, from the ground up.”

Wife resents husband’s slacker attitude D

ear Abby: The other day my kids asked me why I’m always so angry. I didn’t know how to respond. I’m angry that they think their dad is “wonderful” because he plays with them all day (he’s not working), takes them to get fast food (instead of cooking something healthy), and because he’s their coach (he is having an emotional affair with one of the parents). I assign chores to the kids because things never get done when I ask my husband to do them. If I remind them “It’s trash day” or “Don’t forget to vacuum the living room,” my husband steps in and says, “I’ll do it for you, Billy/Jane,” which makes me the bad guy. I know if I ask for a divorce, the kids will want to live with him. How do I explain this to them? And what do I tell my friends when they ask what a pretty, fit, successful woman like me is doing with an overweight, unemployed, lazy man like him? He’s more personable than I am, but the stress of being the sole breadwinner has taken its toll on me. – Needing Answers, Levittown, Pa. Dear Needing Answers: You’re overwhelmed right now, and with the load you’re carrying, it’s no wonder. You, your husband and the children are overdue for a frank sit-down chat. It would not be out of line to tell them that the reason you appear to be angry is you are doing it

all – carrying the load financially and being the responsible parent. It would also ADVICE not be out of line to let Dear them know Abby that every ■■■ member of the family is expected to do their part, which is why you have assigned them chores – because Dad is too busy coaching to remember to do it. As to the fast-food diet, your husband is doing the children – and himself – no favors, and he is setting a terrible example. Now, about your friends: Be honest. Tell them that you married your husband because you loved him at the time, and you are sticking with it because if you dump him, you may wind up supporting him anyway. Dear Abby: I am 14 and have just started high school. I have been told I’m beautiful. Most times I feel that way, except for one thing – I hate my nose! I don’t want to sound ungrateful for my looks. I know I’m not the only girl who has a flaw and wants to change it. I just want your opinion. From the front you can’t tell my nose is messed up. But viewed from the side, there’s a bump in the middle. It’s also sort of crooked and just too big. I’m starting to be self-conscious about

it. I don’t like people looking at me from the side, but it’s hard to prevent. I have been researching plastic surgery online. At my age, my parents won’t let me get a nose job, but I don’t want to wait until I’m 18. Some kids have commented about my nose, but mainly I want to do this for me. It would make me feel better about myself. What am I supposed to do? – Self-conscious in Minnesota Dear Self-conscious: For now, stop looking at yourself in a magnifying mirror and obsessing about your “flaws.” You may – or may not – want to consider plastic surgery in a few years. I say in a few years because at 14 your features are not yet fully developed. A nose that seems “too big” now may be exactly the right size in a couple of years. If you are still displeased about the bump, there is time to have it smoothed out. But for now you should wait and develop your personality and your intellect so that people notice you for more than your looks. I’m sure you have many qualities that make you special – and remember, what makes us unique is sometimes what we mistake as our “flaws.” DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

GUILFORD COUNTY – Dangerous drugs get to the streets in many ways. One way is directly from your medicine cabinet. That’s why the Guilford County Sheriff’s and health departments have teamed up to offer a Medication Take Back day from 4-7 p.m. Friday at health department offices in High Point and Greensboro. Prescription and overthe-counter medications can be very dangerous if abused. “This is a very important program to assist our citizens in disposing of unwanted drugs,” said Sheriff BJ Barnes. “If the citizen does not need the drugs, by us destroying them we take the possibility of them hitting the street for whatever reason off the table.” Medications and the original containers will be destroyed to protect any confidential information. No syringes or needles will be accepted.

ince Fire Prevention Week recently ended, I thought now would be a good time to cover some basic safety ideas to help families during a house fire. The first is the home escape plan. People who prepare by planning and practicing escape plans have a better chance of surviving a fire. Here are some ideas on practicing a home escape plan that should be in place. Have everyone walk through the house and inspect every possible exit and escape route. Never assume a child would use a window as an escape route. Children love drawing, so have them draw a floor plan of the home and mark two ways they could escape from their room. Make a game of blindfolding each child and letting him or her find the way out of the house. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to teach children how to open their window with the blindfold on. Time them so they can see how much they improve each time. You could even design the game to give bonus points for remembering to go to the designated meeting place and checking doors with the back of the hand before opening them. After your plan is in place and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve practiced it, put it to the test.

COPD not curable, but treatable

ear Dr. Donohue: I am inquiring for a friend about COPD. I would like to know what to look for in the last stages of COPD. We are in prison, and my friend is having a hard time with his COPD. He is 60. I want to help him in any way I can. -- K.S.

BLONDIE

“COPD” stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. “Chronic” indicates that it’s a permanent thing; “obstructive,” that there’s a blockage of air passing into the lungs and oxygen into the blood; “pulmonary,” that the lungs are the site of the trouble. The two main COPD illnesses are emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Usually, both are seen together, and cigarette smoking is the most common cause of them. Emphysema indicates destruction of the lung’s air sacs, the millions of delicate, tiny, cellophanelike structures through which oxygen passes into the blood from the lungs. Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of airways -- bronchi, or breathing tubes. They’re filled with thick, yellow mucus, and they have narrowed. The signs of COPD are shortness of breath on activity and a cough that won’t stop. The stages of COPD are best defined by lung tests. Symptoms are a rough guide to staging. In the advanced stages of COPD, a person struggles for air on taking only a few steps, and coughing is constantly present.

COPD isn’t curable. It is treatable. Medicines can expand the narrowed HEALTH breathing tubes and Dr. Paul can soothe Donohue their ir■■■ ritation. Oxygen is required in advanced stages. There are two maneuvers that your friend can do for himself that might help him to breathe more easily. One is to exhale through pursed lips. He exhales through his mouth with his lips pursed in the whistling position. This helps keep airways opened. The other trick is to lean a bit forward at the waist when walking. That posture provides more room for the lungs to fill with air. The booklet on COPD explains this common medical condition in detail. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 601, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is there really a “triangle of death” on the face in which, if someone pops an acne pimple, it can cause death? -- B.P. The “triangle of death” is the part of the face formed by the bridge of

the nose and the corners of the mouth. It’s an area where facial veins have a direct communication to veins of the brain. Forcing bacteria into those veins by popping a pimple can push the germs into the venous blood of the brain and possibly cause a brain infection. I have heard about the triangle of death since grade school. Seldom have I heard it discussed in medical education meetings. I can’t tell you if anyone has ever died as a result of squeezing pimples in this triangular section of the face. All the same, it’s a smart idea not to squeeze pimples at any site. The bacteria in a pimple are pushed into the adjacent skin and can set up another site of infection. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have taken Cardizem, Tenormin, hydrochlorothiazide and Micro-K for years. My insurance company will now pay for the only generic equivalent of these medicines. Is there any difference between the brand-name drugs and their generic equivalent? -- C.C. None of the medicines you take is on the list of medicines for which a generic switch might cause trouble. Those medicines are seizure-control drugs, some thyroid medicines, Lanoxin (a digitalis medicine), theophylline (an asthma medicine) and the blood thinner Coumadin. Most people do well with generic substitutes. The only way to know for sure is to try them.

Community Clinic of High Point volunteer pharmacist Nai Tina T-Hole prepares to fill prescription for clinic patient.

New drug plan Pilot program to give Community Clinic patients better coverage, simpler process BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – A new prescription drug program being offered through the Community Clinic of High Point could make prescription drugs available – at no cost – to individuals who presently are not eligible for clinic services. “This is a way in which we can broaden our outreach and reach people who don’t qualify for this clinic,” said Jerri White, executive director of the clinic. “We cover people who are at 100 percent of the federal poverty level, but this new program will cover people at 200 percent of the poverty level.” The new program is the NC MedAssist Central Fill Pharmacy, a pilot program

’This new program will cover people at 200 percent of the (federal) poverty level.’ Jerri White Executive director, Community Clinic of High Point of the N.C. Association of Free Clinics, designed to provide prescription medications to uninsured and underinsured patients. The Community Clinic of High Point will begin accepting enrollment calls Oct. 19, White said. In addition to making prescription drugs available to a wider population, NC MedAssist will simplify the process a patient has to go through in order to receive prescription assistance from various pharmaceutical companies.

The Community Clinic of High Point will begin accepting enrollment applications for participation in the NC MedAssist Central Fill Pharmacy program on Oct. 19. The number to call is 841-MEDS. For further information, you can also call the N.C. Association of Free Clinics at (336) 251-1111 or visit www.ncfree clinics.org. “Every drug manufacturer has a prescription assistance program, or PAP, and for those patients that qualify, they will ship that medication directly to that patient,” explains Jason Baisden, executive director of the N.C. Association of Free Clinics. “But the hang-up is that it’s pretty difficult to navigate that field. The manufacturers all have different eligibility requirements, they all have different paperwork to fill out, and they all have different renewal periods. As a result, trying to keep up with all of that is pretty laborious.” Instead, NC MedAssist is partnering with drug manufacturers to use the Central Fill Pharmacy as a centralized distribution site. Major manufacturers such as AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Alcon and Novartis are already on board, according to Baisden. “What we’re doing is going to drug manufacturers and saying, ‘Why not ship bulk medications to this one location, and we will be responsible for distributing it throughout North Carolina,’” Baisden said. “It will be one-application-fits-all, and it only has to be filled out once a year. That provides some cost savings to the

drug manufacturers, because they only have to ship to one place.” NC MedAssist, in turn, will distribute the medications to participating agencies such as free clinics, health departments and rural health clinics. Those who are eligible for NC MedAssist include: • Adults and children at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. • Adults and children who have no other means for acquiring prescription medications, such as private health insurance or Medicaid. • Medicare Part D participants who fall into the “donut hole” may be eligible, but they will need to consult with NC MedAssist representatives first. In addition, an individual must be a resident of the county in which the clinic is located to qualify for the program. Currently, participating patients in the pilot program are not required to pay an enrollment fee, but that could be subject to change. “There’s no enrollment fee right now,” Baisden said, “but we have in our business plan the provision to charge up to $25 per year per patient. We’re not doing it this year, and we don’t plan to do it next year, but we had to put a sustainability model in our business plan, just in case we need it.” White said partnering with the NC MedAssist program will be a good thing for the Community Clinic of High Point and its patients. “This is a pilot program, so we don’t have a clue how the numbers will play out,” she said, “but it’s bound to help some people out there who have needs. This program will expand what we’re already doing.”

HEART RUFF West won and led another diamond, and South took the ace, ruffed a diamond, ruffed a heart in dummy and drew trumps. South then had to bring in the clubs. South needed a count of the distribution: He could play East for K-x of clubs or K-x-x. Having kept track, South knew East had held two hearts, one trump, seven diamonds – hence three clubs. So South led dummy’s jack of clubs: king, ace. When West’s ten fell under the queen, South was home.

You can turn something that has potential into something great. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can start doing the calculations required to put a new idea into motion.

BRIDGE

The process of counting the defenders’ distribution intimidates new players. I often hear comments such as, “My memory’s not good enough to handle all that.” Nonsense. Counting is simple in principle; anyone can do it if his mind is on the game. A “poor memory” has its roots in inattention. In today’s deal, West took two hearts and shifted to the ten of diamonds. South took his king and led the ace and a low trump (inferring that West had the king since he hadn’t led a third heart to let East overruff dummy).

Partner may hold 3, A 6, A Q 9 7 6, K J 10 6 2. North dealer N-S vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help.

Panthers bounce Redskins I

n just a few words, Brad Hoover summed it up best. “We finally had the ball bounce our way a couple of times,” Hoover said. If not for one particular bounce, Hoover and his Carolina Panthers teammates would likely be looking at an 0-4 record instead of coming up with the winning touchdown to complete a comeback from a 17-2 deficit to down the Washington Redskins 20-17 at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday. The fortunate bounce came when the ball caromed away from the Redskins on a SPORTS Carolina punt. Panther safety Quinton Teal blocked Bryon Greer Westbrook into return man Smith Antwaan Randle El, preventing ■■■ Randle El from getting to the ball. The pigskin bounced off Westbrook’s leg, hit Hoover in the face mask and then shot deep into Redskin territory, where Dante Wesley recovered at the 12. The call was contested by Redskins coach Jim Zorn, but was upheld by officials after review. “The punt was so short, Antwaan ran up to fair catch it,” Zorn said. “They blocked one of our players into Antwaan. That negates the fair catch. So then the officials have to determine who did it hit. It hit Westbrook on the foot, unfortunately.” Panthers coach John Fox and Teal said that the Panthers work on shoving a blocker into a punt returner in practice. “Our guys are coached to do that,” Fox said. “We understand that you can push a guy into the return team. It’s part of the game. It was an excellent play.” Two plays later, Jonathan Stewart scored on an 8-yard run to put the Panthers up by one, and Delhomme completed a two-point conversion slant pass to Steve Smith to provide what proved to be the final points with 9:25 left in the game. After a failed Washington possession, the Panthers ran out the clock, thanks to quarterback Jake Delhomme bootlegging eight yards for a decisive first down, enabling those on the Panthers sideline to celebrate. Washington fell to 2-3. “This is like a gorilla off our backs,” Delhomme said. The play that Fox called excellent, and a 55-yard kickoff return by Kenny Moore that helped set up a 17-yard touchdown pass from Delhomme to Jeff King with 8:38 left in the third quarter, helped the Panthers overcome a horrible first half in which they fell behind 10-2. Running back DeAngelo Williams lost a fumble at the Panther 13 on the first play from scrimmage, setting up a 10-yard touchdown pass from Jason Campbell to Clinton Portis.

WHO’S NEWS

Washington’s Fred Davis (86) is upended by Carolina’s Richard Marshall (31) in the second half of Sunday’s game in Charlotte. The Panthers rallied for a 20-17 victory. Hoover helped add to the agony when he lost the ball to King on a 1-yard plunge on fourth-and-goal in the second quarter. Officials ruled it a fumble into the end zone on fourth down and negated the touchdown, giving the Skins the ball at the one. “I thought I was in. I was trying to lean,” Hoover said. “I felt somebody tugging at the ball and it was King, and he was pulling out the ball. I wasn’t thinking of the fourth down rule. I was trying to get in and score for myself.” The miscue led to Carolina’s bright spot of

the half when Julius Peppers tackled Portis in the end zone for a safety. The lackluster Carolina performance caused some of the veterans, led by Delhomme, to vent their frustrations at the half. “It wasn’t chaos, just a sense of urgency,” Hoover said. “It was like, listen, if we keep playing the way we had played to that point, we’re going to lose another game. We were making everyone aware that we had to get things going. We had to make things happen now.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

including an eight-car pileup that forced a 22-minute red flag with six laps remaining. Waiting out the delay, Johnson worried he didn’t have enough car to hold off Gordon. He shouldn’t have. His No. 48 Chevrolet roared away from his Hendrick Motorsports teammate on the restart as he quickly put the rest of the field in his rearview mirror to vault him into the points lead for the first time all season. Juan Pablo Montoya was third, his fourth straight top-five finish.

Mark Martin, who started the day with an 18-point lead over Johnson, was fourth and now trails Johnson by 12 points heading into Saturday night’s race at Charlotte. Tony Stewart rallied from an early pit-road speeding penalty to finish fifth. While Johnson surged, several Chase contenders stumbled. Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle and Brian Vickers all ran into trouble and saw their Chase hopes likely evaporate for good.

“What else can you say? They’re the best out there,” Gordon said. “They’ve won the last three championships. They’re going to be hard to Johnson beat for this one. Really, unless they make a mistake, I don’t see how they lose it.” Johnson, who led 126 laps, dominated the second half of the race but had to sweat out a series of double-file restarts following a number of late-race collisions,

n a scale of one to 10, Carolina’s victory over Washington on Sunday rated just above zero. Both teams were as rough and as horrible as being at the Outer Banks during a nor’easter. The Panthers finished with 248 yards, led by Jake Delhomme’s 181 passing, but only got 86 on the ground. The Redskins netted 198 yards and it’s doubtful that they would have scored any touchdowns if Panther turnovers hadn’t given them the ball at the 13 and the 1. Carolina did go 40 yards for one of its scores, but needed to cover just 12 for the game winner. The Panthers put together the most impressive possession of the game, going 69 yards before Brad Hoover lost the

Johnson wins, sets Chase pace FONTANA, Calif. (AP) – Jimmie Johnson is back in control of NASCAR’s Chase for the Championship. The three-time defending Sprint Cup champion easily pulled away from Jeff Gordon following a restart with three laps left to win the Pepsi 500 on Sunday at Auto Club Speedway for his fifth victory of the year and 45th overall. The win was Johnson’s fourth at the 2-mile oval and sent a message to the rest of the contenders he has no plans of giving up his spot atop the series easily.

ball to tight end Jeff King on a fourth-andgoal plunge from the 1 – an exchange that was ruled a fumble and negated what was originally thought to be a touchdown. That and a fumble by DeAngelo Williams on the game’s first play were among the Panther lowlights in an almost watchable first half. Carolina managed just 128 yards, but that was 31 more than Washington’s output. Even though the road getting there was as rough as a one-lane dirt path through the mountains, the Panthers were overjoyed to win for the first time since they closed the 2008 regular season by edging New Orleans. “It’s like night and day,” Hoover said. “When you come in after a win, your body doesn’t hurt as much and you are not as tired. Your spirit is up.”

Judging from the difficulty the Panthers had beating Washington, it’s hard to say how many more times their spirits will be up the rest of the season. As much as they have struggled this season, the Panthers have shots at winning the next two weeks against the struggling Buccaneers and Bills. In the nine games after that, the only team among the NFL’s dregs on the schedule is Tampa Bay. Among the other games are two against New Orleans, and one each against Atlanta, Miami, the Jets, New England, Minnesota and the Giants. That doesn’t offer many more sure opportunities to keep the spirits up.

American players danced in the locker room and swigged some bubbly. With a thrilling victory on a hot and humid night in Central America, the U.S. soccer team earned a trip to South Africa and another chance to impress at the World Cup. Conor Casey scored his first two international goals in the second half, Landon Donovan added another and the United States clinched its sixth straight World Cup berth with a game to spare by rallying to beat Honduras 3-2 late Saturday night. “It never gets old,” Donovan said. “After what most of us would say was a very disappointing 2006 World Cup, we now have a chance at redemption.” In one of the most exciting end-to-end matches the U.S. has played in many years, the Americans took a 3-1 lead before Honduras closed on Julio Cesar De Leon’s second goal of the game.

U.S. captures Presidents Cup THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tiger Woods had a perfect week, and the Americans stayed unbeaten at home in the Presidents Cup. Woods delivered the clinching point Sunday with a 6-and-5 victory over Y.E. Yang, a tiny token of revenge from losing the PGA Championship. Phil Mickelson wrapped up another anticlimactic finish by beating Retief Goosen, and the celebration was on. The Americans won 191â &#x201E;2-141â &#x201E;2, extending their domination in the Presidents Cup. British Open champion Stewart Cink put the first point on the board by overwhelming Adam Scott, and Sean Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hair and Anthony Kim followed with big victories of their own. Woods went 5-0 for the week, joining Mark Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Meara and Shigeki Maruyama as the only players to win all five match-

es in the Presidents Cup. Woods has an event-high 18 wins. Woods won all four of his team matches with Steve Stricker, who lost to Geoff Ogilvy in singles. Mickelson might have played the best for the Americans, carrying along three partners in the team matches and hanging on to beat Goosen. He went 4-0-1 for the week. The Americans are 5-0 on home soil in the Presidents Cup, winning the previous four times at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in northern Virginia.

MCGOWAN TAKES MADRID MASTERS MADRID â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ross McGowan won the Madrid Masters for his first European tour victory, beating Finlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mikko Ilonen by three strokes. McGowan followed his third-round 60 with a 71 to finish at 25-under 263 at Centro Nacional. He began the final round with a seven-stroke lead.

HPU women play to scoreless tie SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

ROCK HILL, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The High Point University womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team battled Winthrop to a 0-0 double-overtime tie on Sunday afternoon. HPU senior goalkeeper Marisa Abbott made nine saves to earn her third shutout of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was an even battle, a good conference game,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Marty Beall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls had a lot of fight in them today for 110 minutes. There are still some things we need to improve on. We need to work on finishing our chances. The good news is that we are creating those chances. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish chances until you create them and the next step is to put them in the net.â&#x20AC;? High Point outshot Winthrop 21-18 in the game and held a 5-3 edge in overtime. The tie improves HPUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record to 2-12-1 overall and 1-2-1 in the Big South. HPU plays host to Liberty on Saturday at 5 p.m. The game will be followed by

the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer game against Coastal Carolina.

PANTHER MEN PREVAIL 2-1 HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Freshman Shawn Sloan scored his second goal of the season in the 106th minute to propel the High Point University menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team to a 2-1 double-overtime win against Presbyterian late Saturday night at Vert Stadium. The win improves the Pantherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record to 7-4-0 overall and 3-1-0 in the Big South. Freshman Fejiro Okiomah earned the assist on the overtime tally after beating a defender on the right flank with his dribble then crossing to Sloan in the box. Sloan touched the ball back to his right across a defender before ripping a 10-yard shot which ricocheted off the right post and into the net. Senior Matt Tuttle also scored for the Panthers. HPU plays host to Wofford on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Vladimir Guerrero hit a two-out, two-run single off Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Angels rallied past Boston 7-6 in Game 3 Sunday, advancing to the AL championship series with their first postseason sweep in franchise history. The Red Sox intentionally walked Torii Hunter with runners on second and third to bring up Guerrero, a star who had long been waiting for a big October hit. Guerrero capped the three-run comeback with his go-ahead hit off Papelbon, who had never before allowed a run in the postseason. The Angels open their first ALCS since 2005 on Friday against either the New York Yankees or Minnesota. The Yankees led that series 2-0 going into Game 3 Sunday night. The Angels joined the Los Angeles Dodgers, who beat St. Louis, with firstround sweeps. The victory kept open the possibility of a Freeway Series â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is the first time the Angels and Dodgers are in the league championship series in the same year.

Down 5-1 early and still trailing 6-4 in the ninth, the Angels began their rally when Erick Aybar singled on a twostrike pitch. Chone Figgins walked and Bobby Abreu hit an RBI double for the first postseason run Papelbon had allowed. After Hunter was walked intentionally, Guerrero, who had one RBI in his previous 19 postseason games, singled sharply to center on the first pitch to give the Angels the advantage.

YANKEES 4, TWINS 1 MINNEAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada hit seventh-inning home runs to spoil Carl Pavanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opportunity to frustrate New Yorkers one more time, and the Yankees advanced to their first AL championship series in five years with a 4-1 victory and sweep of the Minnesota Twins on Sunday night. This classic postseason pitching duel between former teammates Andy Pettitte and Pavano ended with another first-round playoff victory at the Metrodome for the Yankees, who also eliminated the Twins here in 2003 and 2004.

Kligerman wins race, Lofton takes ARCA crown ROCKINGHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Justin Lofton came all the way from the back of the field to finish third, good enough to hold off Parker Kligerman by five points to win the ARCA championship in the season finale Sunday at Rockingham Speedway. Kligerman led 66 laps and won the American 200, but his effort wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite enough to take the title away from Lofton. It was the third-closest final margin in the 56-year

history of the series, including a tie in 1974 that led to co-champions. Lofton essentially won the title with his superior qualifying record this season: in ARCA, the pole-sitter gets 15 points, with 10 points going to the driver who qualifies second and five points for third. When he ran the second-fastest lap in qualifying at Rockingham, Lofton gained 10 more points and saw his advantage increase to 25.

SEC rules: Florida, Alabama ranked 1-2 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Alabama’s steady rise in the rankings has left the Crimson Tide with a clear view of No. 1 Florida. Alabama jumped Texas into second-place behind top-ranked Florida in the AP Top 25 on Sunday, giving the Southeastern Conference the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the country. The Crimson Tide moved up one spot after rolling over Mississippi 22-3. Texas, which had been No. 2 all season, slipped a spot after sputtering early in a 38-14 victory against Colorado. The Gators and Tim Tebow beat LSU 13-3. They have been an overwhelming No. 1 since the preseason, but support for Alabama has steadily grown. Florida received 50 of 60 first-place votes from the media panel, a season low. The Crimson Tide received 10 first-place votes, up from five last week. It’s the second time in the past two seasons that Alabama and Florida have held the top two spots in the rankings. Last year, the Crimson Tide was No. 1 and the Gators No. 2 for two weeks before they played in the SEC title game. Texas for the first time this season did not receive a first-place vote. The Longhorns might be able to get some support back by beating No. 20 Oklahoma on Saturday in the Red River Rivalry. No. 4 Virginia Tech, No. 5 Boise State and No. 6 Southern California each moved up one spot. In the battle for Ohio, Ohio State moved up to No. 7 and ahead of No. 8 Cincinnati after a 31-13 victory over previously unbeaten Wisconsin. The Bearcats, who were idle Saturday and have a Big East showdown with No. 21 South Florida on Thursday night, were ahead of the Buckeyes in the rankings last week for the first time since 1951. Miami is No. 9 and LSU dropped six spots to No. 10 after its first loss. No. 11 Iowa had another narrow escape, beating Michigan 30-28 to stay unbeaten. No. 12 TCU also had a close call, but stayed undefeated with a 20-17 victory in the cold and wind against Air Force. No. 13 is Oregon followed by Penn State and Nebraska, which vaulted six spots to 15th after beating Missouri on the road. After the Cornhuskers are Big 12 rivals Oklahoma State and Kansas. No. 18 is BYU, Georgia Tech is 19th and Oklahoma No. 20. The final five has South Florida and South Carolina, then three teams that re-entered the rankings this week – No. 23 Houston, No. 24 Utah and No. 25 Notre Dame.

Skinner, Wake keep rolling WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – The records, yards and touchdowns keep piling up in Riley Skinner’s dream season at previously groundoriented Wake Forest. The style change has put the Demon Deacons in as good a position as any team to win the Atlantic Coast Conference’s unpredictable Atlantic Division. Skinner threw for 360 yards and a career-high four touchdowns on Saturday, setting the school record for yards passing in a career in a 42-32 victory over Maryland. Chris Givens was Skinner’s top target, catching five passes for 116 yards and two scores as the Demon Deacons (4-2, 2-1) moved into first place in the division by shredding Maryland’s suspect defense. “We’re looking pretty good in the conference right now. But we’ve got Clemson and Miami and Georgia Tech and Florida State coming up, which isn’t fun to think

about,” Skinner said. “But you know what, if we keep clicking like we are and our defense keeps getting better and better each week, we’ll put ourselves in a position to battle against those guys.” Especially with the senior playing like perhaps the best quarterback in the ACC, a development that led coach Jim Grobe to change his offense. Wake Forest scored touchdowns on its first five possessions in building a 35-10 halftime lead. Skinner moved past Brian Kuklick in the second quarter and has 8,296 yards passing. A week earlier he broke Kuklick’s career touchdown mark. “That’s probably as good a first half of football that we’ve ever played,” Grobe said. It looked easy against Maryland (2-4, 1-1), which couldn’t build on last week’s surprising win over Clemson. The Terrapins allowed 516 yards.

Mustangs hold off Pirates DALLAS (AP) – Bo Levi Mitchell completed 17 of 29 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns to lead Southern Methodist to a 28-21 win over East Carolina late Saturday night. Aldrick Robinson scored on a 96-yard touchdown reception to tie for the longest touchdown pass in SMU history, and the Mustangs (3-2, 2-0 Conference USA) snapped the Pirates’ fivegame conference winning streak. Dominique Lindsay led all rushers with 144 yards on 24 attempts for ECU (33, 2-1).

Dallas wide receiver Miles Austin runs off the field after scoring the game-winning touchdown in the Cowboys’ 26-20 overtime victory at Kansas City. Austin caught 10 passes for a franchise-record 250 yards for the Cowboys. His 60-yard catch-and-run in sudden death accounted for the decisive points.

Austin saves Dallas THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Miles Austin scored the winning touchdown in overtime on a 60-yard catch-andrun to cap a huge game in place of the injured Roy Williams. Austin had 10 catches for 250 yards as the Cowboys survived numerous mistakes against the winless Chiefs for a 26-20 win on Sunday. Austin also had a tackle-breaking 59-yard touchdown catch to give the Cowboys (3-2) a 20-13 lead with 2:16 left in the fourth quarter. On both plays, he slipped the grasp of cornerback Maurice Leggett and made safety Mike Brown miss. The loss dropped the Chiefs (0-5) to 2-28 in their last 30 games. Kansas City, winless for 315 days, tied it 20-20 on Matt Cassel’s 16-yard touchdown pass to Dwayne Bowe with 24 seconds left. But Austin was unstoppable, rescuing Dallas, which was penalized 13 times for 90 yards. He erased the team record of 246 yards that Hall of Famer Bob Hayes set on Nov. 13, 1966 against Washington. Chiefs linebacker Mike Vrabel made his 11th career touchdown catch to give Kansas City a 10-0 lead.

BRONCOS 2O, PATRIOTS 17 (OT) DENVER – Kyle Orton moved Denver from its 2 to the end zone to tie it Sunday, then Matt Prater kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime for a 20-17 victory over New England that made rookie Broncos coach Josh McDaniels a winner over his old boss, Bill Belichick. The Broncos improved to 5-0 for the first time since 1998 – the last time they went to the Super Bowl.

S&P: Dubai fund canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover debt DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A support fund created to help Dubai pay its debts has â&#x20AC;&#x153;insufficientâ&#x20AC;? resources to cover the billions of dollars worth of debt coming due, an analyst at credit rating firm Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said Sunday, putting added pressure on the struggling city-state to raise additional cash. The sheikdom and its network of state-controlled companies amassed at least $80

billion in debt on projects like manmade islands and opulent high-rises during a multiyear building boom that saw the citystate craft itself into the Middle Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial, trade and tourism hub. About $50 billion worth of that debt needs to be covered over the next three years, said Farouk Soussa, S&Pâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of Middle East government ratings. A lack of government information has left investors

wondering how it all will be repaid or refinanced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guess how much the government of Dubai has to support that debt,â&#x20AC;? Soussa said at a conference in Dubai. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It comes back to transparency.â&#x20AC;? In February, the Dubai government raised $10 billion in a hastily arranged bond sale to the United Arab Emirates central bank, which is based in the oil-rich neighboring emirate of Abu Dhabi. That deal was seen

be many analysts as a federal bailout of the seven-state UAE federationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most free-spending member. Dubai officials have said part of that money, allocated to a government â&#x20AC;&#x153;financial support fund,â&#x20AC;? has gone to pay unpaid bills to contractors of statebacked companies such as property developer Nakheel. Soussa estimates that no more than $4 billion remains in the support fund.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;From our point of view, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insufficient,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The notion that the government will be able and/or willing to stand 100 percent by all that debt on an equal basis is wrong.â&#x20AC;? Dubai has suggested it plans to issue another $10 billion worth of bonds before yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end â&#x20AC;&#x201C; funds that could help cover a closely watched Nakheel debt of $3.5 billion coming due in December.

Britain to sell billions in assets

A woman rinses rice in a pot as others sort garbage at a trash recycling center in Beijing. Garbage is piling up everywhere in China, posing problems for public health and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s livelihoods in a less savory measure of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rapid growth.

As Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy grows, so do mounds of garbage ZHANGLIDONG, China (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Visitors can smell this village long before they see it. More than 100 dump trucks piled high with garbage line the narrow road leading to Zhanglidong, waiting to empty their loads in a landfill as big as 20 football fields. In less than five years, the Zhengzhou Comprehensive Waste Treatment Landfill has overwhelmed this otherwise pristine village of about 1,000 people. Peaches and cherries rot on trees, infested with insect life drawn by the smell. Fields lie unharvested, contaminated by toxic muck. Every day, another 100 or so tons of garbage arrive from nearby Zhengzhou, a provincial capital of 8 million.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life here went from heaven to hell in an instant,â&#x20AC;? says lifelong resident Wang Xiuhua, swatting away clouds of mosquitoes and flies. The 78-year-old woman suddenly coughs uncontrollably and says the landfill gases inflame her bronchitis. As more Chinese ride the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic boom, a torrent of garbage is one result. Cities are bursting at the seams, and their officials struggle to cope. The amount of paper, plastic and other garbage has more than tripled in two decades to about 300 million tons a year, according to Nie Yongfeng, a waste management expert at Beijingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tsinghua University. Americans are still way ahead of China in

garbage; a population less than a quarter the size of Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1.3 billion generated 254 million tons of garbage in 2007, a third of which is recycled or composted, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. But for China, the problem represents a rapid turnabout from a generation ago, when families, then largely rural and poor, used and reused everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trash was never complicated before, because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have supermarkets, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have fancy packaging and endless things to buy,â&#x20AC;? said Nie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now suddenly, the government is panicking about the mountains of garbage piling up with no place to put it all.â&#x20AC;?

LONDON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; British Prime Minister Gordon Brown plans to announce a sale of government assets aimed at raising 3 billion pounds ($4.8 billion), his office said Sunday. Nonfinancial assets to be sold over the next two years include the Channel Tunnel rail link, the Dartford bridge and tunnel crossing the River Thames, betting company the Tote, and the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 33 percent stake in European uranium consortium Urenco. Brown is due to make the announcement in a speech today. Downing Street released details Sunday. He also plans to say that local governments will sell off another 13 billion pounds ($21 billion) in assets. The money will help finance capital investment and pay down debt, his office said. Britain is suffering its worst recession in decades and the budget deficit, the gap between spending and revenues, is widening. But Brown has recently sounded cautiously optimistic about the economy. In an interview published Saturday, he said the economy would grow by 1.5 percent next year, more than many economists have foreseen.

A surprisingly good profit report from aluminum maker Alcoa Inc. last Wednesday helped lift investorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expectations for the results being released this week, including reports from

some of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest banks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Financial institutions are what brought the markets to their knees,â&#x20AC;? said Eric Thorne, senior vice president of Bryn Mawr Trust Wealth Management in Bryn Mawr, Pa., referring to the financial industry crisis that began with the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to see how far theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come in the last few months.â&#x20AC;? JPMorgan Chase & Co. issues its results

Wednesday, followed by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. In all the corporate reports over the next three weeks, investors will be looking for signs of improvement in the economy. From the banks, investors are hoping to see some sign that consumer loan defaults, including mortgages, are starting to level off. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also concerned that banks are now having problems with commercial real estate loans as well. Other companies reporting next week

include Google Inc., Southwest Airlines Co. and Dow Jones industrial average components such as computer chip maker Intel Corp., computer maker IBM Corp., industrial and financial conglomerate General Electric Co., and Johnson & Johnson, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest healthcare company. If the news this week is good, the Dow may well pass 10,000 for the first time in a year. The Dow closed Friday at 9,864.94, leaving it less than 136 points from returning to five digits.

learn about the explorer’s significance – though they also come away with a more nuanced picture of Columbus than the noble discoverer often portrayed in pop culture and legend. “I talk about the situation where he didn’t even realize where he was,”

Kolowith said. “And we talked about how he was very, very mean, very bossy.” Columbus’ stature in U.S. classrooms has declined somewhat through the years, and many districts will not observe his namesake holiday today.
