Council discusses changes to Finch Farm Road. 2A

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – A moratorium has been placed on a new Trinity ordinance that prohibits truck drivers from parking their tractor-trailers on their own property.

At its preagenda meeting Tuesday evening, the Trinity City Council decided to place a moratorium on enforcing the ordinance until its November meeting.

The ordinance, which was approved in August, prohibits the parking of large trucks, including cab and trailer, cab only and/or trailer, in residential neighborhoods. The ordinance also prohibits the parking of large trucks on any public

Last month, about a dozen Trinity residents spoke against the ordinance. street unless in the process of loading and unloading.

Last month, about a dozen Trinity residents spoke against the ordinance during the public forum section of the meeting, which drew a standing-room only crowd.

At the meeting, truck drivers tried to persuade the City Council to rescind the ordinance or grandfather those who currently would be in violation of the ordinance.

Proponents of the ordinance continued to argue that tractor-trailers are a nuisance in their neighborhoods.

On Tuesday, City Council members recommended to staff that the ordinance be updated so truck drivers could park their cabs only behind the rear plane of their homes.

Under the recommendation, trailers would continue to be prohibited in residential neighborhoods.

According to the current ordinance, it’s unlawful “to park truck and freight trailer vehicles that are more than 80 inches wide or which have a combined length of more than 30 feet.”

Council members told city staff that the “80 inches wide” should be taken out of the ordinance, and trucks that fall under the ordinance should have three axles.

“We would also recommend a moratorium on enforcement if the council is inclined to take a second look at this ordinance,” Adam Stumb, the city’s planning and zoning administrator, said in a memo to the City Council. “It would be difficult for staff to enforce the current ordinance if changes are pending.”

The City Council has yet to vote on the changes.

GREENSBORO – The progress on the Randleman Lake treatment plant, pump stations and water lines has advanced this year with little disruption.

Now, officials with the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority hope that scenario keeps playing out until the first drinking water flows from the lake in the summer of next year.

Authority Executive Director John Kime updated members of the board during their monthly meeting at the authority office in Greensboro. “It’s going as well as it can go,” Kime said.

Work crews are about to put a roof on the second building that’s part of the water treatment plant complex, he said. And workers are on schedule with construction of 48-inch and 24-inch water lines and the pump station on N.C. 62, Kime said.

When the first water flows from Randleman Lake, it will culminate decades of planning to secure a new drinking water source in the Triad.

Randleman Lake has been decades in the making to become a drinking source for five cities and Randolph County. The construction of the dam and filling of the lake are complete. The Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority is building a $60 million to $70 million water treatment and pumping plant to provide water to the county and High Point, Greensboro, Jamestown, Archdale and Randleman.

TRINITY – Construction for two roundabouts on Finch Farm Road received the go ahead from the Trinity City Council during its meeting Tuesday night.

Reuben Blakely, N.C. Department of Transportation Division 1 engineer, briefed the City Council on the roundabouts, which will be placed at Kennedy and Old Mountain roads on Finch Farm Road.

Roundabouts are circular intersections, where vehicles travel counterclockwise around a center island, with entering traffic yielding right of way to circulating traffic.

After the Randolph County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution on the roundabouts, Blakely also needed the approval from the Trinity City Council. According to Blakely, local support was needed for roundabouts so the projects could receive

Councilman launches write-in campaign

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – Joining two other candidates running for the city’s mayoral race, Trinity Councilman Kelly Grooms said this week that he is mounting a write-in campaign for mayor.

“This is strategically planned to wait until about now to do this, so it would be fresh to the voters,” Grooms said. “With talking to people throughout the community, it was their encouragement that we got to where we are now.”

Grooms, whose Ward 1 seat expires in 2011, said he had considered running for mayor during the filing period, but decided not to file because no one had filed for the city’s other Ward 1 seat before the original filing period ended

in July. The Randolph County Board of Elections, however, extended the filing for the Ward 1 seat a week, and Debra L. Frazier and Kristen Varner filed to run for the vacancy Grooms that was left when Barbara Ewings decided she wouldn’t seek another term.

Grooms, a real estate broker and High Point Fire Department captain, said he has decided to run for mayor to bring “some freshness and pro-activity” to Trinity’s governing body.

With Frazier and Varner running for the Ward 1 seat, Grooms said he decided to announce his write-in campaign. According to Don Wright, attorney for the State Board of Elec-

tions, write-in candidates in nonpartisan municipal elections do not have to qualify as write-in candidates prior to the election.

“If they get enough votes, they win,” Wright said. “If the write-in candidates starts to receive contributions or make expenditures to further the campaign, they have to file as a campaign committee, as a filed candidate would. If it is strictly a word of mouth campaign with no expenses, there would be no campaign filing.”

With Grooms challenging Mayor Fran Andrews, an incumbent, the two will face Carlton T. Boyles for the mayor’s seat.

HPU adds jobs; more hires expected

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – While other college and university campuses have been laying off workers during the economic downturn, High Point University has hired 108 people in 2009 to fill new positions in teaching, administration, food service and campus enhancement.

And officials said this week that the total could grow by 50 next year, bringing the total number of employees to 750 – double what it was just three years ago.

GROWTH

–

Enrollment: Freshman enrollment is up 280 percent to more than 1,000.

Residence: More than 1,000 students live on campus.

Financial: Revenues have grown from $30 million to $100 million.

Campus: 90 to 180 acres, mostly with the purchase of 200 houses.

“These are not replacements; these are net new jobs,” HPU President Nido Qubein said Tuesday.

Overall, the university has an economic impact in the four-county regional Triad economy of $367.42

million. Last year, the university attracted more than 57,000 visitors to the city, boosting the money spent in restaurants, retail shops and hotels in the region.

The university is closing out a $300 million upgrade,

but officials continue to hire teachers for new departments in 15 new academic buildings as enrollment grows.

New programs include graphic design and biochemistry. More than $20 million has been spent on new technology in the past two years alone. Campus officials are working on plans to build a residential village for fraternities and sororities, a new education school and eventually an athletics arena.

stimulus funding through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. Darrell Frye, vice chairman of the Randolph County Board of Commissioners, also spoke to the Trinity Council before it passed the resolution.

Frye said the roundabouts will help traffic conditions on Finch Farm Road.

“It’s going to help the traffic flow better and create a safer road for the folks traveling that road,” Frye said. “Not only is that road for (Wheatmore High School), and that’s fairly new, but there are 25,000 people a day who come to High Point and Guilford County to work, and a lot of people come up that road from the lower Randolph County and southern Davidson County areas.”

According to Frye, construction is expected to start immediately on the roundabouts, which were the No. 1 priority on the High Point Metropolitan Planning Organization’s list for transportation projects. Twelve parcels will be impacted by the new roundabouts, Blakely said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Dell didn’t release breakdowns on the hometowns of its workers at the plant, but company spokeswoman Donna Oldham said the work force comes from a

cross-section of communities across the Piedmont.

So far, ESC job service offices in High Point, Lexington and Asheboro haven’t recorded a large influx of inquiries from Dell workers, say managers of the offices.

As of Tuesday morning, the Lexington ESC office that covers Davidson County had received five or fewer calls from Dell workers, said Manager Pat Hillard. The Asheboro ESC

office, which handles Randolph County, hadn’t received any inquiries from Dell workers, Manager Ike Williams said.

The High Point ESC office received one phone call on Oct. 7 when Dell announced plans to close the plant, said Manager Charles Diggs. No other inquiries had been made as of Tuesday morning, he said.

Allred pleads guilty to reckless driving MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

GRAHAM – Despite vowing to “absolutely� plead not guilty, former state Rep. Cary Allred pleaded guilty Monday to reckless driving but a judge granted a prayer for judgment that spared him from additional license and insurance points.

Allred was not present as attorney Tony DiLello entered the plea and asked District Court Judge Wayne Abernathy for a prayer for judgment.

Allred was charged with reckless driving June 7 by Sgt. Mike Schoch of the Alamance County Sheriff’s Department. Schoch said in court on Monday that Allred was driving “very erratic� and ran off the road twice along a 1.5-mile stretch of Union Ridge Road while traveling about 70 mph in a 55mph zone. Schoch said Allred told him that the 1950’s-model Ford Thunderbird he was driving had a bad suspension and bias-ply tires.

Assistant District Attorney Jeff Connolly opposed granting the prayer. “You are opposing a (prayer for judgment continued) on a reckless driving, but you don’t have a problem with a pjc on .09 (blood-alcohol content)?,� Abernathy asked. “That’s a history of what I’ve seen in your office the last couple of months.�

Connolly said the state was opposed “in light of (Allred’s) recent conviction in Orange County, which gained a lot of publicity both locally and statewide.�

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Two people face drug charges after a bust by a Davidson County Sheriff’s Office unit that works to interdict contraband from major thoroughfares.

Members of the sheriff’s Interstate Criminal Enforcement unit conducted a traffic stop for a suspected traffic violation Monday on a Chrysler 300 passenger car displaying Georgia plates. The stop occurred on Interstate 85 South at mile marker 86 outside Lexington, deputies said.

Critics say Jean Sarkozy, 23, who has no college degree and is still studying law at the Sorbonne, is too inexperienced. His candidacy has launched a national uproar, with more than 44,000 signatures on an online petition asking him to drop out of the running.

Autopsy: Boyzone singer died of natural causes MADRID – Boyzone star Stephen Gately, whose body was found in a house on the Spanish resort island of Mallorca on Saturday, died of natural causes, according to autopsy results released Tuesday.

A post-mortem showed Gately, 33, an Irishman, died as a result of a pulmonary edema, or fluid in the lungs, the Balearic Islands Superior Justice Tribunal said in a statement.

Russian foreign minister: Iran sanctions threats won’t work MOSCOW (AP) – Russia publicly pushed back Tuesday against U.S. efforts to threaten tough new sanctions if Iran fails to prove its nuclear program is peaceful, dealing an apparent setback to President Barack Obama’s hopes for Moscow’s backing for fresh penalties against Tehran.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow believed such threats were “counterproduc-

tive� and that only negotiations should be pursued now. Just last month, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had said that sanctions are rarely productive but “in some cases they are inevitable,� a statement the U.S. hailed as a shift of opinion in Moscow.

Lavrov, at a joint news conference Tuesday with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, said diplomacy “still has chances to succeed.�

Elderly supporters of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin gather outside a courtroom in Moscow on Tuesday.

Court rules against Stalin grandson in libel suit MOSCOW – A Russian court ruled against Josef Stalin’s grandson Tuesday in a libel suit over a newspaper article that said the Soviet dictator sent thousands of people to their deaths.

A judge at a Moscow district court rejected Yevgeny Dzhugashvili’s claim that Novaya Gazeta damaged Stalin’s honor and dignity in an April article that referred to him as a “bloodthirsty cannibal.�

The case essentially put Stalin on trial more than 50 years after his death.

Shooting fuels debate on cops’ lethal force

JOHANNESBURG – Police allegedly fired more than a dozen rounds at a car they mistakenly thought was stolen, killing a woman and fueling a debate about whether officers should have greater leeway to use deadly force to combat South Africa’s high crime rate.

The shooting comes just weeks after President Jacob Zuma said that South African police should have fewer restrictions on using lethal force. Underscoring the sensitivity of the issue, South Africa’s minister of police visited the slain woman’s family on Tuesday.

Tropical Storm Patricia approaches Mexico CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico – Officials closed schools and readied emergency shelters as Tropical Storm Patricia neared Mexico’s Los Cabos resorts on Tuesday.

The storm’s winds weakened to 50 mph on Tuesday afternoon, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. Further weakening was expected during the next 24 hours.

The storm was located about 85 miles south-southeast of the tourist-heavy tip of the Baja peninsula.

Report: More than 1,000 killed in Congo JOHANNESBURG – More than 1,000 civilians have been killed and nearly 900,000 displaced in eastern Congo by Rwandan Hutu militiamen and Congolese forces since January, humanitarian groups said Tuesday.

The report released by a coalition of 84 organizations said that many of the killings were carried out

by Rwandan Hutu militiamen. Congolese government soldiers also have targeted civilians, the report said.

The military says 80 percent of the attacks in Pakistan are planned from the remote region but that militants from the Punjab province in the heart of the country helped the Taliban carry out last weekend’s bold assault on army headquarters just outside the capital.

The United States has been encouraging Pakistan to take strong action against insurgents who are using its soil as a base for attacks in Afghanistan. But a push into rugged South Waziristan could be difficult for the army, which was beaten back on three previous offensives into the Taliban heartland there and forced to sign peace deals.

“At the current stage, all forces should be thrown at supporting the negotiating process,� Lavrov said. “Threats, sanctions and threats of pressure in the current situation, we are convinced, would be counterproductive.�

Clinton had been hoping for an overt signal from Russia that it will consider new sanctions if Iran refuses to come clean about its nuclear intentions.

8 perish in blast north of Baghdad BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A suicide bomber killed the leader of a U.S.backed Sunni paramilitary group and seven others north of Baghdad Tuesday, the third attack in as many days in a heavily populated Sunni area, a police official said.

The bombing hit a market in the town of Buhriz, a former Saddam Hussein stronghold. It raised concerns that escalating violence toward the Sunni minority could destabilize Iraq as it prepares for national elections early next year.

Ford adds 4.5M vehicles to switch recall DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ford Motor Co. said Tuesday it will add 4.5 million oldermodel vehicles to the long list of those recalled because a defective cruise control switch could cause a fire.

The latest voluntary action pushes Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total recall due to faulty switches to 14.3 million registered vehicles over 10 years, capping the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest cumulative recall in history involving a single problem.

The recall covers 1.1 million Ford Windstar minivans that had a small risk of fire due to internal leaking from the switches. Ford said in a letter to federal regulators that it found a small number of reported fires linked to the problem during an internal investigation that began last year, but did not specify how many.

The remaining 3.4 million vehicles are Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models. Ford said there were no reports of fires with those models, most of them trucks and sport utility vehicles, but that they were included in the recall because they use the same switches.

Americans who could stay on their parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance until age 27 on Capitol Hill. and gave the drive to remake health care at least a hint of the bipartisanship that Obama seeks.

At the White House, Obama called the events â&#x20AC;&#x153;a critical milestoneâ&#x20AC;? toward remaking the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care sys-

tem. He praised Snowe as well as Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the committee, and declared, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to get this done.â&#x20AC;?

There were fresh challenges.

Within minutes of the vote, labor unions and large business

organizations both demanded changes in the bill, which was an attempt at a middle-of-theroad measure fashioned by the committee under Baucusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leadership.

Still, nearly nine months after the president pledged in his In-

augural Address to tackle health care, legislation to expand coverage to millions who lack it has now advanced further than President Bill Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ill-fated effort more than a decade ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or any other attempt in more than a generation.

Report: Unsafe abortions kill 70,000 annually NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Increased contraceptive use has led to fewer abortions worldwide, but deaths from unsafe abortions remain a severe problem, killing 70,000 women a year, a research institute reported Tuesday in a major global survey.

More than half the deaths, about 38,000, are in sub-Saharan Africa, which was singled out as the region with by far the lowest

rates of contraceptive use and the highest rates of unintended pregnancies.

The report, three years in the making, was compiled by the New York-based Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights and is a leading source of data on abortion-related trends.

Researchers examined data from individual countries and multinational organizations.

The instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, Sharon Camp, said she was heartened by the overall trends since Guttmacher conducted a similar survey in 1999, yet expressed concern about the gap revealed in the new report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In almost all developed countries, abortion is safe and legal,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in much of the developing world, abortion remains highly restricted, and

Lotteries discuss cross-selling, national game DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two biggest lottery games are talking about cross-selling tickets in U.S. lottery jurisdictions with the potential for a national lottery, the head of a lottery association said Tuesday.

Powerball is played in 31 states, the District of

Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Mega Millions is played in 12 states. The consortium behind Mega Millions and the Urbandale, Iowabased Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs Powerball, have agreed in principle to cross-sell tickets for both games

beginning next year, officials said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to increase sales and reach out to more players,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Shaheen, the president of the lottery associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors and executive director of the North Carolina Education Lottery.

Nearly half of swine flu patients otherwise healthy ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The largest U.S. analysis of hospitalized adult swine flu patients has found almost half were healthy people who did not have asthma or any other chronic illnesses before they got sick.

Health officials released the surprising results at a news conference on Tuesday, noting that 46 percent of 1,400 hospital-

ized adults did not have a chronic underlying condition.

They have said before that the majority of swine flu patients who develop severe illness have some sort of preexisting condition, but the new data suggest the majority may be slimmer than was previously thought.

A study of 272 hospital-

ized swine flu patients, released by the New England Journal of Medicine earlier this month, concluded that 83 percent of adults and 60 percent of children had underlying conditions.

unsafe abortion is common and continues to damage womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and threaten their survival.â&#x20AC;?

The report calls for further easing of developing nationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; abortion laws, a move criticized by Deirdre McQuade, a policy director with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities.

LEONARD PITTS: Why did Barack Obama get the Nobel Prize?

Bombing moon does not help the unemployed Last week we bombed the moon, ostensibly looking for water, at a cost to taxpayers of $79,000,000!

This was not only insanity, it was highly immoral. Why? With millions of people jobless and homeless, and more companies shutting down every day, we can spend $79 million to bomb the moon! And we were never informed about it till two days before the act, when MSNBC’s Brian Williams reported it. Was NASA afraid that people would protest if they knew in advance?

This was a reprehensible act disguised as “science” and I hope NASA is dismantled before they pull any more crazy stunts like that. Let the people at NASA find out how it feels to become jobless.

Come on, people, it’s time we let our representatives in Congress know that we do not approve of such reckless spending, especially not during the worst economic times since the Great Depression.

This is supposed to be a democracy, so let’s act like it. Complacency will kill us.

Let’s review incentives philosophy

T

he question is being raised – in the editorial cartoon above, in a phone call to the opinion page editor Tuesday and likely around kitchen tables across the Triad.

“Why can’t Dell retool its Forsyth County manufacturing facility and begin making here those laptop computers that now are in demand?”

It’s an excellent question, one for which we’ve not seen or heard an answer from Dell. But suffice it to say that the likely answer – from Dell’s standpoint – is that it’s cheaper to build them elsewhere, most likely overseas, than to invest capital to modify the production line here.

And that supposition on our part is just the very reason that state government and local governments all across North Carolina should pause now and re-evaluate their philosophies on offering incentives to businesses and industries that consider locating here.

It’s probably safe to say that state and local governments together never again will offer an incentives package totaling approximately $300 million. Editorially, we learn from our mistakes. We’ll not support such a plan again.

It’s just not worth the risk and the hurt we’ve seen as Dell downsized the last few months, and especially during the last week.

The preferred cure for ills caused by situations such as the Dell closing would be for the U.S. Supreme Court to end nationwide – at all levels of government – the practice of offering incentives to prospective business and industry. But absent that, changes in incentives philosophies should include placing lower limits on total packages and putting more emphasis on companies first proving they have a longterm commitment here.

Just for the sake of discussion, we’d suggest some procedure in which companies first come here for a period of time – maybe five years – before they qualify for any state or local financial assistance. Yes, that would be a huge change in the way it’s done. But does anyone disagree that something about this process must change?

these people who are seeking something in return. Taxpayers know this is corruption. Why should taxpayers have to pay more for their insurance and medicines, just so politicians can get elected?

Several million jobs lost, and no accountability by politicians.

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out politicians have been out of line. Taxpayers are willing to sell them a one-way ticket to Gitmo, which is more than they deserve. Take all their assets to pay off the trillions they’ve borrowed, without taxpayers’ consent, and bid them farewell!

Why should taxpayers be held responsible for the so-called agreements and the borrowing of trillions of dollars from foreign

countries made by the politicians?

Taxpayers know that all the committees being used by politicians on local, state and federal levels, are just a way to hide what they’re really doing. Ways and Means, Ethics, Appropriations, Government Reform, Economics, Financial Services, Pensions, Rules, Finance, Education; I think you’re getting the message! For past five decades, wouldn’t you think that with all these committees, someone honest with integrity would have stepped up to the plate and put an end to corruption and greed in government?

A real joke is letting the crooked politicians investigate one of their own.

Magic numbers, politics brought house of cards down

B

ack in the days of the Soviet Union, two Russian economists who had never lived in a country with a free market economy understood something about market economies that many others who have lived in such economies all their lives have never understood. Nikolai Shmelev and Vladimir Popov said: “Everything is interconnected in the world of prices, so that the smallest change in one element is passed along the chain to millions of others.”

What does that mean? It means that a huge increase in the demand for ice cream can mean higher prices for catchers’ mitts, among other things.

When more cows are needed to produce more milk to make ice cream, then fewer cows will be slaughtered and that means less cowhide available to make baseball gloves. Supply and demand mean that catchers’ mitts are going to cost more.

While this may be easy enough to understand, its implications are completely lost on many people in politics and in the media. If everything is connected to everything else in a market economy, then it makes no sense to have laws and policies that declare some given goal to be a “good thing,” without regard to the repercussions, which spread out in all directions, like waves that spread across a pond when you drop a rock in the water.

Our current economic meltdown results from the federal government, under both Democrats and Republicans, declaring homeownership to be a “good thing” and treating the percentage of families who own their own home as if it was some sort of magic number that had to be kept growing – without regard to the repercussions on other things.

We are now living with those repercussions, which include the worst unemployment in decades. That is the price we are paying for increasing homeownership from 64 percent to 69 percent.

How did we get from homeownership to 15 million unemployed Americans? By ignoring the fact that there was a reason why only 64 percent of families owned their own home. More people would have liked to be homeowners but did not qualify under mortgage lending standards that had been in place for decades.

Politicians to the rescue: Federal regulatory agencies leaned on banks to lend to people they were not lending to before – or else. The “or else” included not hav-

ing their business decisions approved by the regulators, which could cost them more money than making risky loans. Mortgage lending standards were lowered, in order to raise the magic number of home ownership. But, with OPINION lower lending standards, there were – surprise! – more Thomas mortgage payment delinquenSowell cies, defaults and foreclo■■■ sures.

This was a problem not only for banks and other lenders but also for those in the business of buying mortgages from the original lenders. These included semi-government enterprises like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as Wall Street firms that bought mortgages, bundled them together and issued securities based on the anticipated income from those mortgages.

In other words, all these economic transactions were “interconnected,” as the Russian economists would say. And when the people who owed money on their mortgages stopped paying, the whole house of cards began to fall.

Politicians may not know much – or care much – about economics, but they know politics and they care a lot about keeping their jobs. So a great distracting hue and cry has gone up that all this was due to the market not being regulated enough by the government. In reality, it was precisely the government regulators who forced the banks to lower their lending standards.

The other big lie is that this was a failure of economists and others to foresee that the housing boom would turn to bust and set off financial repercussions across the economy.

In reality, everybody and his brother saw it coming and said so – including yours truly in the Wall Street Journal of May 26, 2005. As far away as London, The Economist magazine warned about the danger.

So did many American publications and individuals. The problem was that politicians refused to listen. They were fixated on the magic number of homeownership and oblivious to the economic interconnections that Russian economists saw long ago and from far away.

The arts encompass many activities that make us smile

FOUR VIEWS

T

hree things in life are inevitable: death, taxes and the arts.

In every nook and cranny of the world, someone is singing a religious chant, drawing a picture with a stick in the sand or passing down an old family anecdote to another generation. Yet the thing that separates the arts from â&#x20AC;&#x153;death and taxesâ&#x20AC;? is the way it sustains us without most of us ever noticing.

How often do you pause to cherish the memory of the first song that was played at your wedding reception? What about the time your little Picasso gave you the first of many refrigerator decorations? Or how about when your grandson played Joseph in your churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas show and his beard fell off, causing him to burst into hysterics that made the show all the more memorable?

These memories were shaped by the emotions that accompanied them. The best and worst of these emotions are results of the arts which surround us. The memory of these experiences shapes our personalities. So in a way, the arts that we choose to experience amalgamate into the essence of our identities. Living any day without the arts is like living a day without an important part of ourselves.

As much as the fine arts shape our past, there are always opportunities for us to experience the arts in the present. Just within High Point there are so many performances and exhibits every week that one person could not possibly attend them all: community groups, church groups, school groups. High Pointers need not look far to discover these delights.

And yet the arts are so much more than that.

Drama, dance, music and visual art are merely the result of art. Art itself is the beautiful ability to live in the moment: to cherish every opportunity to lose ourselves in the process of discovering who we

are. Art is the song your mother sang to chase the bad dreams away. Art is the realization of how beautiful the sunset is. Art is listening to a strangTEEN VIEW erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragic tale. Art is finding fulfillment Leslie Ann in that connection Blake between ourselves, â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; others and the world around us.

There are as many unique definitions of art as there are people on Earth. So this National Arts and Humanities Month, celebrate your art. Spend the extra $15 to go see the play that may brighten your week. Crank up the tunes and dance around the living room with your sister. Draw a picture for a friend like you did when you were little. Sing along to

The more time you take to live life deeply rooted in the arts (or even skimming the surface), the more you will forget about the trivial concerns of society and remember who you are and what truly matters to you. The more you remember, the more youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll smile.

LOW BACK PAIN CLASS

From The Fayetteville Observer, Oct. 12 he report that coyotes are now established in all 100 North Carolina counties is anti-climactic. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen this coming for years. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left is the matter of how to cope with them.

The best part of the news is that not much coping is required.

If you want to boost the coyote population, you might try killing one.

This is Benjamin, who lives here in High Point and makes a modest living sewing professionally. Benjamin, who learned he was HIV positive in 1987, receives case management services, food, and counseling from Triad Health Project, a United Way partner agency.

Benjamin says his experiences living with HIV have been ones of â&#x20AC;&#x153;self discovery.â&#x20AC;? Without the help of Triad Health Project, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would not know as much about HIV as I do now, and that has been critical to me taking care of myself.â&#x20AC;? He also says that â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot knowing that someone is in your corner in this situation. For some people, that can be the difference between life and death.â&#x20AC;?

Triad Health Project provides emotional and practical support, case management, transportation, and limited financial assistance for people affected by HIV / AIDS. THP also provides education to change the behaviors of at-risk populations --- thanks to your support. As Benjamin himself says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have learned a lot about United Way through THP, and it has become quite personal to me.â&#x20AC;? So from Benjamin , from Triad Health Project, and from the United Way, we thank you!

Pentagon: Recruiting best since 1973 WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Pentagonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personnel chief said Tuesday the military has completed its best recruiting year since 1973, meeting all its goals and bringing in a better educated group of young people.

The Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps met goals for active duty and reserve recruiting during the budget year ended Sept. 30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first time that has happened since the all-volunteer force was established.

Boy arrested in fatal shooting of brother DEPOSIT, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 12-year-old upstate New York boy has been charged with shooting his 8-year-old brother to death, but authorities on Tuesday declined to reveal what was behind the gunfire.

Authorities charged the older boy as a juvenile delinquent Monday and will prosecute him in Delaware County Family Court for conduct they say would constitute second-degree murder if he were an adult. Children must be at least 13 years or older in New York to be prosecuted for murder as adults, said Janine Kava, a spokeswoman for the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.

The boys were home alone late Saturday afternoon when the older brother took a rifle from inside the house and fired a single shot, mortally wounding his younger brother.

Safe and sound Leaders: Anti-violence group needs support

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The death of a Winston-Salem police officer this week serves as a grim reminder of the importance of one local organization that works to reduce violent crime.

That was the message conveyed Tuesday on behalf of the High Point Community Against Violence

during a presentation to a crowd that included local business leaders and potential donors.

The day after Sgt. Mickey Hutchens succumbed to a gunshot wound inflicted during a confrontation with a suspect last week, local officials lauded HPCAV’s record helping High Point reduce violent crime by 25 percent while the city’s population increased 30 percent over the past decade.

“We’re all struck by the suddenness of death,” said Mayor Becky Smothers. “I hope each and every one of

us will give our support to this project.”

Speakers at Tuesday’s event traced HPCAV’s 12-year history working with police and other law enforcement agencies, especially its work trying to help criminal offenders go straight. They also highlighted the group’s role in the nationally-recognized High Point Initiative – a crime-fighting strategy pioneered here that focuses on deterrence and which has garnered numerous awards and been applied in cities across the country.

“We carry a committed effort to help our clients,” said HPCAV President Gretta Bush. “Helping them be productive citizens saves lives and elevates the quality of life for the community.”

Officials said financial support on behalf of the nonprofit organization will be critical to upcoming initiatives, such as one in the works now aimed at reducing domestic violence.

The ambitious project – which may apply the same principles used in the initiative model to identify key of-

fenders responsible for the majority of the crime and attempt to deter them while offering assistance – will tackle one of the city’s most pressing crime problems.

“We’ve got to live in a safe town. We have no choice. We’ve got to protect the brand of this city,” said High Point University President Nido Qubein, who was on hand Tuesday to lobby for HPCAV. “We cannot simply lock all of these people up because there isn’t enough space.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Leading Methodist minister and beloved Rotarian dies

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A leading Methodist minister, known for decades for his loving spirit, died Monday.

The Rev. Garland Howard Allred, 87, pastor emeritus of First United Methodist Church, died at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro. A funeral service will be held at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at First United Methodist.

Allred was noted for his folksy interpretations of the Bible. Rotarians admired his spiritual leadership.

“He was the most amazing man, I ever knew,” David Wall of Jarrett Stationery Co., a church member and fellow Rotarian, said Tuesday. “If you had a Biblical or spiritual question, he had a clear, concise answer. He made people feel good.”

Allred expanded his weekly “brothers breakfast” with his own brothers to include Rotary friends like Dave McCoy. “We got together every Tuesday,” McCoy recalled. “We were like one of the family with his brothers. His death is a tremendous loss. He will be greatly missed.”

CAREER

–

Service: Howard Allred served more than 40 years in the Western North Carolina Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church as a pastor and district superintendent.

Honors: High Point University gave him an honorary doctorate of divinity degree in 1990.

Allred was known for weaving stories about his brothers and his mother into his sermons and other messages.

“When he told a story, he often called it the ‘Gospel According to Howard’,” recalled Mark Pierce, a church leader and fellow Rotarian. “He always credited his mother for instilling Christian values into the family, sometimes with a hickory stick.”

Wall said Allred showed people how to live a spiritual life with some fun while also being an inspiration to others.

“Rev. Allred was dearly loved by those he pastored, especially the children,” said Vince Wheeler, High Point Enterprise opinion page editor and member of a

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Sunday School class named for Allred. “Personally, I always will remember his advice that, as with a preacher’s message, an editorial writer’s opinion delivered with concern and compassion – not anger and condemnation – is more likely to achieve its desired result.”

Allred, who retired in 1991, was the last of four brothers – William, James and Walter – who served in World War II. A fifth Allred brother, Boyd, recently died. He served in the Korean War. Allred flew 53 combat missions and was awarded the Air Medal five times and Distinguished Flying Cross for his assignments in a Photo Reconnaissance Squadron. Earlier this month, he participated in the Triad Flight of Honor, partly sponsored by Rotarians, to visit the national World War II Memorial. Pierce, who played trumpet at church at Allred’s request, has been asked to pay “Taps” for him Saturday.

Allred is survived by his widow Ann Morris Allred, their three children, and several grandchildren. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

George Clements Jr. ARCHDALE – The Archdale/High Point area has lost a prominent and beloved pillar of the community. George Edward Clements, Jr. passed away peacefully Monday, October 12, 2009 at High Point Regional Hospital surrounded by his wife of sixty-one years, Marjorie English Clements and his loving family and friends.

Mr. Clements lived a full and, in his own words, “wonderful life”. Born March 25, 1920 in his family’s home in Madisonville, KY, he completed elementary and high school in Madisonville and attended Western Kentucky University (then Bowling Greens Teacher’s College). After training in aircraft construction in Nashville, TN, and shortly after his 21st birthday, in 1941, Mr. Clements left Madisonville for California, where he took a job at Douglas Aircraft Company in Santa Monica. This marked the beginning of a rewarding career in aviation. Over the years, he worked as an aircraft mechanic, flight engineer and co-pilot. He retired from TWA (Trans World Airlines) in 1984 after almost four decades working on and flying DC4s, Lockheed 749 Constellations, Boeing 707s and finally Boeing 747s. He enjoyed his airline career immensely and found the international travel exciting. Among the cities he visited frequently were Paris, Cairo, Madrid, Rome and Frankfurt. In his autobiography, which he completed in 2006, he remarked that Portugal ”the primitive ways of the country people, the fishing villages, and the beauty of the countryside”-was one of his favorite countries.

As an airline employee, he was able to travel extensively with his wife and children.

After several years of moving around with the airlines, he moved to Archdale in 1959 with his wife and two children. He continued to travel with TWA commuting to New York monthly. In 1962 he started a small construction company.

A talented business man, he quickly turned the small enterprise into a thriving

company and George Clements Realty, Inc. was established in 1965. Never one to sit idly for long, Mr. Clements continued to play an active role in the business until shortly before his death.

Mr. Clements was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He will always be remembered for his sharp wit, extraordinary generosity and his big, big heart by all who were lucky enough to know and love him.

Survivors include his loving wife, Marjorie English Clements, of the home; two children, Victoria Clements Thomas and husband, Robert, of Richmond, KY, and Glenn Meriwether Clements and wife, Kay, of Archdale; six grandchildren, Shannon Meriwether Thomas, Catie Clements Ingram and husband, Bradley, Aleah Kalen Clements, Benjamin Colton Clements, Griffin Meriwether Clements, and Conrad Macon Clements; one greatgranddaughter Layla Avery Ingram; one sister, Manerva Clements Lescher and husband, Herbert of Langhorne, PA; one brother, Robert Earl Clements and wife, Lois, of Raleigh; and many loving nieces and nephews.

Memorial service will be 11:00 a.m. Thursday, October 15, 2009 at Archdale Friends Meeting officiated by Rev. Dave Mercadante and Rev. Bob Medford. The family will receive friends Wednesday night from 6 until 8 at Cumby Family Funeral Service in Archdale.

The family wishes to express a heartfelt special thank you to all the staff on 7th Floor North and South, and the ICU unit at High Point Regional Hospital for all the loving and tender care that was given him during his lengthy stay in the hospital.

Memorials may be directed to Archdale Friends Meeting, 114 Trindale Rd., Archdale, NC 27263, where he was a member for the past fifty years.

Teen in despair pleads for help and guidance

Dear Hurting: As you already know, your sexual orientation isn’t something you chose. It is something you were born with, and your parents’ disapproval -- as intimidating as it may be -- isn’t going to change it. What you are experiencing is not uncommon in young people who have discovered they are “different.”

But there is help, not only for you but also for your parents.

The first thing you should do is contact The Trevor Helpline. It is a nationwide, 24-hour helpline for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning young people. A counselor there can help you sort out your feelings and figure out some options.

You can find out more about it by going to www. thetrevorproject.org. The toll-free number is (866) 488-7386.

Another terrific resource is PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays). PFLAG was established in the 1980s and offers specific advice on how to deal with your parents. You will find its

Both of these organizations provide the support you need, so please don’t wait to contact them.

Dear Abby: My heart is broken. My 18-year-old son, “Joey,” has just put his name on someone else’s child’s birth certificate. He met the girl in high school. She was already pregnant. Joey has been out of school since May. He has no job, no money and no car.

Joey promised her family he will “take care of her.” They were only too happy to hear it because the real father wants nothing to do with her or the baby. Her parents have made my son feel like a hero, and he enjoys it.

I did everything in my power to talk him out of it. Nothing worked.

I can’t believe that the girl’s family is encouraging him. Joey is not a man, even if he is 18.

Where are their values?

-- Heartbroken Mom In Mesa, Ariz.

Dear Mom: Your son may feel like a hero, but apparently he was not thinking rationally when he put his name on that birth certificate, because what he did was fraud.

The father of that baby should be listed as the father, and he is the one

who should be financially responsible until the child reaches adulthood.

If Joey wants to lend emotional support, more power to him. But I’m advising you to consult an attorney to see if this mess can be unraveled before he gets in any deeper.

Dear Abby: I am 22 years old and stuck in a long-term relationship. My boyfriend has taken care of me since my mother died last year.

She was my only family, so without my boyfriend I’d be alone.

My problem is, I am no longer attracted to him. I don’t want to hurt his feelings because of everything he has helped me through, but is a relationship worth staying in if you don’t feel the “connection” anymore?

– Alone In The South Dear Alone: No, it’s not, and it’s also not fair to your boyfriend. Sooner or later you will have to level with him and tell him that, while you’re deeply grateful for his support during this difficult time, you have come to regard him as more of a brother than a lover, and while you’ll always care for him, the romance is over.

Q

Tutoring Service

uestion: What causes tomatoes not to ripen?

If your garden tomatoes look like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been placed on hold, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. Tomato fruits go through several stages of development during their maturation process.

During early stages, the fruit continues to grow in size and remains green, typically requiring 40-50 days. Once the fruit has reached full size, changes in pigment begin to take place, causing the green to fade to light green then to the appropriate pigments for that particular cultivar, be it red, pink, yellow or orange.

Ripening and color

development in tomatoes is governed primarily by two factors: temperature and the presence of a naturally occurring hormone called â&#x20AC;&#x153;ethylene.â&#x20AC;?

The optimum temperature range for ripening mature green tomatoes is 68-77 degrees F. The further temperatures stray from the optimum, the slower the ripening process will be. When temperatures are outside the optimum range for extended periods, conditions may become so stressful that the ripening process virtually halts.

At the same time, tomatoes do not produce lycopene and carotene, the pigments responsible for ripe tomato color, when

temperatures are above 85 degrees F. So, extended periods of extreme heat cause tomatoes to stop ripening.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not much the gardener can do but wait out the weather. As temperatures become more favorable, the ripening process should get back on track, assuming other stresses do not take their toll.

MASTER GARDENERS will answer questions on horticultural topics. Karen C. Neill, an urban horticulture extension agent, can be contacted at the N.C. Cooperative Extension, 3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro, N.C. 274057605, telephone 375-5876, email karen_neill@ncsu.edu, on the Web at www.guilfordgardenanswers.org.

It’s futile to treat vaginal infections without knowing the cause

D

ear Dr. Donohue: For three months I have been treating a vaginal yeast infection with just about every cream and ointment I can buy. Nothing has worked. What do you think the problem is?

Are these medicines really effective? – D.D.

BLONDIE

The problem could well be you don’t have a yeast infection. The medicines you have tried are effective only if the cause really is a yeast.

The most common vaginal infection is bacterial vaginosis, an infection with more than one strain of bacteria. It occurs when the normal bacterial population, lactobacilli, are replaced by unfriendly bacteria.

Lactobacilli keep the vagina on the acid side, which discourages the growth of other bacteria.

The discharge of bacterial vaginosis is grayish-white, and it has an unpleasant odor. Itching or burning are common.

Metronidazole or clindamycin – both prescription items – are the usual treatment.

I don’t know your age, but atrophic vaginitis is another cause of a discharge. “Atrophic” means “thinning,” and it’s an age-related condition with burning, itching or pain on intercourse. It sometimes produces a watery discharge. Vaginal estrogen can put an end to it.

Candida is the yeast infection you speak of.

Its discharge is thick,

white and curdlike.

The many medicines for it work if candida is found.

I have HEALTH given you three Dr. Paul causes of Donohue vaginal ■■■ infections.

There are more. You can’t expect to win the battle without knowing the enemy.

That takes a microscopic exam of the vaginal discharge and some other office-based tests.

The booklet on vaginal infections presents the details of each and how each is treated. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue – No. 1203, 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: I am 11 years old and keep getting strange lumps.

They’ll appear on my body at night. They’re not bug bites. Can you help me with this problem? – J.F. Do they itch? They could be an allergic reaction. Has your mom changed the detergent she uses to wash clothes and sheets? That could be the problem.

Do they hurt? If they do, it opens a whole new

set of possibilities.

I have the impression that the lumps are not there during the day. If they are, the fastest way to find out what might be the cause is to show them to the family doctor. If they are gone by daytime, how about having one of your parents take a picture of them to show the doctor.

I’d like to do more for you, J.F., but I need more input.

Dear Dr. Donohue: My husband, who is in his 30s, used to be a heavy cigarette smoker.

Does he need to get the pneumonia shot? – Anon.

“Pneumonia shot” is misleading. It’s a vaccine against only one kind of pneumonia, pneumococcal (NEWmoe-KOK-ul) pneumonia. It’s the most common kind of bacterial pneumonia and it is particularly deadly for older people. In the days before antibiotics, it was close to the top of leading causes of death.

The age to get this vaccine is 65.

Younger people are candidates for the vaccine if they have any illness that puts them at high risk for this infection. Current smokers, regardless of their age, also should consider getting it.

There’s another pneumococcal vaccine designed for children.

That’s a different story, and I’ll cover it at a later date.

This Sept. 28 photo shows pumpkin seeds. It takes very little effort to turn the pile of pumpkin seeds leftover from your carving session into a delicious and healthy snack.

Don’t toss the glop: Recipe ideas for pumpkin seeds

BY VICTORIA BRETT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Y

ou’ve crafted the perfect gruesome or goofy jacko’-lantern. But what to do with all the glop you scraped out in the process?

Don’t even think of tossing it.

Pumpkin seeds are a great healthy snack and a delicious addition to salads, granola or trail mix.

“I look at pumpkin seeds like popcorn. They can be spiced and seasoned so many different ways,” says Lucinda Scala Quinn, executive editorial director of food at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. “And spicy pumpkin seeds are perfect for munching.”

But before you can munch, the seeds need to be cleaned.

Traditionally, you separate the seeds from the fibrous strands and clean them with water before roasting. One way is to scoop the whole mess into a colander and run it under cool water. The seeds and fibers will separate if you swish them with your hands.

To toast the seeds, arrange them in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 350 F. If not perfectly golden, leave them in the oven and check every minute until done.

“Pay attention,” says Quinn.

“When cooking any nuts or seeds, you can’t walk away or get sidetracked on the telephone.”

But Quinn prefers a simpler method for cleaning her seeds.

Rather than wash the fibers off the seeds, she toasts everything.

“I throw the whole mess in the oven and once they are dried out, it separates very easily,” she says. If you go that route, roast them spread in an even layer on a baking sheet at 375 F until the fibers dry out and fall away from the seeds.

Once clean, transfer the seeds to a bowl and toss with olive oil, peanut or saffron oil. Then add your spices. Quinn suggests: • Olive oil and salt • Grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper and salt • Cayenne pepper, lime juice, brown sugar and salt • Cinnamon, brown sugar, powdered ginger or cloves, and pinch of salt If you clean and season your seeds before roasting (the water washing method), be sure never to add sugar. The sugar will burn in the oven and should only be

‘I look at pumpkin seeds like popcorn.

They can be spiced and seasoned so many different ways.’

Lucinda Scala Quinn Executive editorial director, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. added after. And with any sweet spicing, don’t forget to add a pinch of salt, says Quinn.

Pumpkin seeds seasoned with olive oil and salt are great in granola or on top of a salad. They also are great mixed with dried fruit (such as cranberries, cherries and raisins) to make a quick trail mix.

“That salty, sweet and chewy is a great combination,” says Quinn.

this time of year, with a label featuring a vivid red skull.

The wine, a limitedproduction single-vineyard mouvedre (a red wine grape) comes with a suggested food pairing of “Dead people! – just kidding! How about lamb, pork and risotto?”

This is the third vintage of the wine, which derives its name from the English translation of calaveras, “skulls.”

“Other than just being an inherently cool name, it actually has some significance to the area,” points out winery owner Jeffrey Stai.

The wine is ideal for a Halloween party, says Stai. Just not for him, since this time of year generally coincides with the controlled frenzy that

is harvest. “We’ve always wanted to have a cool Halloween party in our wine cave. We just never seem to have the energy to pull it together,” he says.

Other wineries getting into the Halloween spirit include Elk Creek Vineyards in Kentucky, which sells Ghostly White chardonnay and Bone Dry Red cabernet sauvignon.

And from the Armida Winery in Healdsburg comes Poizin, a zinfandel, with some bottles sold in a little wooden coffin inscribed “the wine to die for.”

Machat got the idea for Vampire Vineyards in the 1980s, partially inspired by his discovery of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” – “I couldn’t believe how good that was.”

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

A stitch in time might have confused Einstein, but it would have saved nine tricks at today’s 3NT. East put up the king on the first spade, and South took the ace and attacked his best suit: He let the jack of clubs ride.

East won and returned a spade, and South played low and won the third spade. He then had eight tricks: four clubs, two spades, two hearts. When he led a diamond, West took his ace and cashed two spades. Down one.

PLANNING

DAILY QUESTION

North wasn’t exactly in stitches over the play; South could have sewn up the contract with better planning.

If East has the king of clubs, South is at risk: He must lose the lead twice to set up nine tricks. Since West probably has long spades, South must force out West’s possible entry early. So South leads a diamond at Trick Two. If dummy wins, South shifts to clubs.

If instead West grabs his ace to continue spades, South ducks, wins the third spade and finesses in clubs. East wins but has no more spades, and South is safe.

You hold: S 4 2 H 5 4 3 2 D K J C A 10 9 7 2. Your partner opens one club, and the next player passes. What do you say?

ANSWER: Some players are constrained by their system and would deem a response of one heart automatic. But a case exists for a raise to two clubs (the action today’s North chose). It describes the hand well and is more preemptive.

Moreover, if the opponents do enter the auction, the raise will help partner judge how high to compete.

South 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. 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.

Adjusting to new in-laws is paying off

Attractions offer glimpses of life under communism BERLIN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in the history of Eastern Europe under communism, a number of places around the region offer glimpses of life before the Berlin Wall fell.

Here are a few of them, ranging from somber museums to historic sites to themed attractions that are downright kitschy or bizarre.

One must-see for tourists visiting Germany is Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, the former border crossing where U.S. and Soviet tanks dramatically faced off after East Germany sealed its border by building the Berlin Wall in 1961.

Gates along the wall were opened on Nov. 9, 1989, and crowds began to tear down the wall. This year marks the 20th anniversary of that event, which has come to symbolize the end of communism in Eastern Europe.

The DDR Museum, opposite the Berlin Cathedral, focuses on everyday life before the wall fell.

The entertaining, interactive exhibits include a typical kitchen in an East German apartment, TVs where you can choose between East and West German programs, and a simulated ride in the once-ubiquitous but no-

toriously unreliable Trabant model car; www. ddr-museum.de/en/.

The Germans also use humor and a retro-chic sensibility to make fun of the past and shed light on the bleakness of that era.

Zur Firma is a bar themed on life in East Germany under communism; its name translates as â&#x20AC;&#x153;at the firm,â&#x20AC;? an allusion to German slang for the Stasi secret police. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located at Normannenstrasse 5 A, in the Lichtenberg section of Berlin. Or you can stay at the budget Ostel hotel, located at Wriezener Karree 5, with communist-era East German furnishings, http://ostel. eu/en/index.html.

In Prague, in the Czech Republic, the chilling Museum of Communism describes itself as portraying â&#x20AC;&#x153;the dream, the reality and the nightmareâ&#x20AC;? of life under to-

make a good impression in spite of my natural instincts to be provocative.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on my best behavior but I still make the occasional slip like complain to my new mother-in-law (about her daughter) thinking, like a complete fool, that she might be on my side, as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m obviously so â&#x20AC;&#x153;right.â&#x20AC;? Thankfully, she misunderstood and thought I was talking about one of my kids. I wisely kept my mouth shut at that point.

Whew.

I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got great new in-laws. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to be a better son-in-law by listening to my wife, accepting her advice regarding her family, praising their daughter incessantly (which is easy), and making sure my boys treat them with the respect theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re due. I actually think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even talking about a family trip to Europe. That is not bad, for the second time around.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy under any circumstances, but my wife also has a large family.

So large that they have a book about the family, just on my mother-in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, self-published that lays out the genealogy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Chinese. I did mention my wife is Chinese, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I, while Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Caucasian? I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even begin to remember all the names of family members, not due to any ethnic linguistics, but simply due to my poor memory.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been extraordinarily gracious to me and my boys, but the strain of remembering who is who is beyond my present mental capacity, and its diminishing limits.

I actually think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going quite well.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent Christmas there, and celebrated in various family mixes. It was fun, we brought presents for almost everyone, and my boys loved hanging with the other kids and doing the whole morning presents thing late on Christmas Eve. Our religious differences didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere at all, as we were all able to embrace this holiday with our new step family. My wife has similarly embraced our Jewish heritage.

The truth is we actually all like each other. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just new; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see each other often enough, and I want to

this new family dynamic.

My first marriage failed for many reasons and, truly, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame my former in-laws. I can try, but it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be honest. With my first inA DADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S laws, I started off on the wrong foot and continued POINT to chew it up till nothOF VIEW ing but hanging toenails were left. My biggest and Bruce earliest mistake occurred Sallan just before we got marâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; ried. I offered an opinion about the wedding gift my soon to be in-laws were giving us.

As I was a showbiz veteran and they offered to get us a camcorder, I foolishly decided to weigh in on the good and bad features available, suggesting Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go as far as to pay the difference to get a higher end one than they were initially considering. Well, that was obviously a bad move and, evidently, commenting at all was poor taste in their eyes, from which I was never forgiven.

This time around, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m determined to handle things better. After all, my wife has to deal with just as much, actually more baggage, concerning me. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken on the role of step-mom to my two boys, having not been a parent before. As we have my boys full-time, that is no easy task, especially when she met my older one as he was entering teen-dom.

I

believe all clichĂŠs are generally true. How else could something become a clichĂŠ in the first place? Not surprisingly, then, all the clichĂŠs about second marriages are true. Indeed, comedy careers have been built around jokes about a second set of in-laws, second husbands or wives, and blended families. For good reason: in-law jokes, and family relationship humor can be hysterical â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sometimes.

In a second marriage, couples want to believe that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned something from the first one and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take all that hard-earned experience and apply it, making the second marriage work beautifully. Hmmm, is that why thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a higher incidence of divorce in second marriages and an even higher divorce rate in third and fourth marriages? It is sad, but true.

We live in California, while my new in-laws are in Vancouver, Canada.

This means getting together, thus far, at most twice a year. The opportunities to get to know one another are crammed into these short trips where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all on our best behavior.

Granted, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as natural as the encounters we could have if we lived in the same city, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all trying our best. My in-laws have had to adjust to not only a new husband for their only daughter, but her two stepsons.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been absolutely terrific under these unusual and new circumstances.

As we stay in my new in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, this just adds to the awkwardness of

HPU men land sixth in poll

WHO’S NEWS

---

BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CHARLOTTE – Expectations for the High Point University men’s basketball team will be higher within the program than from without, it would appear.

The Panthers were selected sixth in the preseason poll presented Tuesday at the Big South Conference media day, well behind frontrunners Radford, UNC Asheville and Winthrop and in the middle of a pack that included every league school but Charleston Southern and Presbyterian.

“It broke down kind of the way you expected it, with Radford being at the top, Winthrop and UNC Asheville returning a lot – on paper, those are the teams most people would pick,” HPU coach Scott Cherry Cherry said of voting conducted by the league’s head coaches and media members. “I didn’t know what to expect for us with a new coaching staff, the departure of some guys. I’ll use it as a little bit of a motivating factor, encourage our guys that we feel like we’re a much better team than sixth.”

HPU opens official practices Friday under Cherry, hired to replace Bart Lundy last March. Eighty percent of the team’s scoring and three full-time starters return from last year’s squad. That group of starters doesn’t include Nick Barbour, who paced the Panthers with 14.2 points per game last season as a freshman and landed on the preseason allconference team this year – the only underclassman to do so.

“We return a lot from last year, but when people look at what you have coming back with a 9-21 record, they tend to not get too excited about it,” Cherry said. “But I’m excited about our team. I think we’ve got a great group of kids, kids who are talented, and I have enough people who can play the way I want to play.”

The full- and half-court pressure man-to-man defense, transition-offense style of game will be showcased for the season opener Nov. 14 at home against UNC Pembroke.

High Point visits Wake Forest four days later before opening Big South play Dec. 3 at Presbyterian.

Preseason No. 1 Radford – which got 23 of a possible 24 first-place votes – and player of the year Artsiom Parakhouski visit the Millis Center Jan. 9.

What will they see at that point from the Panthers and Cherry?

Perhaps a team competing in the upper echelons of the Big South, despite early prognostications.

“I think he has a team back that can be really dangerous in this league,” said Gardner-Webb coach Rick Scruggs, whose Bulldogs were picked fourth. “Looking at the preseason polls, I think they’re probably the ones that missed a little bit low. I think they’ll be higher than sixth.”

Scruggs then paused and added with a laugh: “I just hope it’s not us they replace up there.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

High Point University junior Jurica Hargraves looks to lead the Panthers to big things this season. Hargraves was voted preseason player of the year in voting announced at Big South Conference media day on Tuesday. The Panther women, meanwhile, were picked to share the league championship with Liberty.

Hargraves, HPU women picked first R

arely does anyone other than Liberty women’s coach Carey Green get to address the crowd at the Big South Conference’s basketball media day.

So when Tooey Loy had his chance with the microphone Tuesday in Charlotte, he made the most of it.

“We’re honored to be picked first,” Loy began seriously, before SPORTS adding with a grin: “Of course, Steve I voted four times Hanf to get us there.”

■■■ As hoped, the High Point University women’s basketball coach drew laughs from the luncheon crowd. The past few years, though, Loy and the Panthers have been drawing rave reviews with a program that continues its steady climb toward the top of the Big South standings.

That would be the spot occupied by Liberty 12 out of the past 13 seasons. But with Megan Frazee playing in the WNBA and six other seniors gone from the Flames’ 24-9 NCAA Tournament team, the door has opened a crack for the Panthers, who finished with seven first-place votes and 160 points in preseason polling by coaches and media members to tie Liberty (nine firsts, 160 points).

“They’re the team I voted to be No. 1,” Green offered. “They obviously deserve it. They’ve got experience returning, the preseason player of the year ...”

In fact, the Panthers landed two juniors on the preseason all-conference team. Guard Jurica Hargraves got the nod as

Inside...

Complete team, individual Big South preseason voting. 2D player of the year after scoring 13.5 points per game and finishing fifth in the league in 3-point shooting. Mackenzie Maier also earned early accolades after the 6-3 post player scored 11.1 points per game and led the league in blocked shots while also excelling from the 3-point line.

High Point returns all five starters from a team that finished 15-16 overall and 10-6 in the league.

“Basketball teams, it’s not about great coaching, it’s about great players,” Loy said. “We’ve been able to have three really good recruiting classes in a row, that first class has grown up and they’re juniors now, and we’ve got a solid team.

“I think it goes along with the entire university,” Loy added.

“There’s so much change going on at High Point and part of that change has allowed us to recruit a higher-level athlete, go against schools and win in the recruiting wars. All of that has evolved over two years.”

It hasn’t been an easy couple of years, Loy admitted of watching his young players endure their growing pains – and seeing some older players resent the process.

“Up and down, not having consistency – that’s just kind of the struggles you go through with a young team,” Loy said. “One day we beat Liberty by 14, the next day Charleston Southern comes in and beats us. And we had some conflicts within the team.

I think a lot of it was upperclassmen jealous of the freshmen

and sophomores playing. That’s understandable, but it doesn’t do much for team chemistry.”

For every struggle, though, “there was the light at the end of the tunnel,” Loy added. “We knew they were going to grow up, we knew we were going to keep having great recruiting classes – we’ve got another one coming next year. When you do that year after year, you’re going to have a great team.”

A great player in Hargraves leads the way. The speedy shooting guard is on track to reach 1,000 points for her career as a junior, and she thanked her teammates and coaches for helping her land the preseason honor.

But Hargraves and the Panthers aren’t focused on individual goals this year.

“Ever since I stepped on campus, my one goal was to win a Big South Conference championship,” Hargraves said. “To be considered and voted tied at the top of the league, it’s a very big accomplishment for people to recognize us.”

That’s the first step. The next steps start Nov. 13 at Elon’s tournament and continue through the Big South Tournament at the Millis Center from March 12-14.

“It’s good to see that other people in the league recognize that we’re talented. Now we’ve got to go out and prove that we can do it,” Loy said. “We’ve been talking since this summer that anything short of a Big South championship is not a successful year to us. The label of being tied for first in the preseason isn’t near as much pressure as we’re going to put on ourselves to get it done.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Phillies brace for rematch with Dodgers DENVER (AP) – Brad Lidge was at the center of the celebrations, mobbed on the mound.

Those recent ninth-inning meltdowns? A fading memory for the Philadelphia Phillies closer.

Lidge was struggling badly going into the NL division series against the Colorado Rockies, blowing a league-high 11 save chances during

the regular season. Four big outs, two saves and zero runs later, the Phillies just might have their dominant closer back.

Lidge struck out Troy Tulowitzki to end Game 4 on Monday, sending the defending World Series champions on to the NL championship series. They’ll play Game 1 Thursday night at Los Angeles.

HIT AND RUN

T

he American League Championship Series figures to pit a pair of heavyweights in an epic showdown.

OK, forgive me for channeling Don King there.

But when the Yankees and Angels open their best-of-7 series on Friday, look for plenty of fireworks.

Consider that the Yankees (103-59) and Angels (97-65) posted the two best regularseason records in the big leagues this season.

Both teams enjoyed sweeping success in the ALDS, with the Yankees dispatching the

Twins and the Angels taking care of the Red Sox. There are compelling reasons to favor the Halos in this one: •Since 1996, the Angels are the only team in the AL with a winning record against the Yanks, going 73-63. The Angels twice bounced the Yanks from the playoffs, taking division series in 2002 and ‘05.

•Los Angeles led the majors with a .285 batting average and became the first team in MLB history with 11 hitters to collect 50 or more RBIs. Their team speed and aggressive

baserunning make them tough to tame.

But I like the Bronx Bombers in this one.

New York topped the big leagues with 915 runs and shared third in the AL with a 4.26 team ERA. The Yanks boast the best batting order top to bottom and their starting pitching offers a great combination of power and experience. And any team with Mariano Rivera figures to be tough to beat in October.

So I’m going with the Yanks to prevail in a stellar six-game series.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Chad Henne’s team had the ball near midfield trailing late in the game when he dug into the playground playbook, wound up and heaved the ball toward the end zone.

It was the sort of pass where Miami Dolphins quarterbacks have long come up short – a throw designed to stretch a defense, redefine an offense and turn around a game.

Henne’s toss hit Ted Ginn Jr. in stride, two steps behind the New York Jets’ secondary near the goal line. Suddenly the Dolphins had a touchdown, and a keeper at quarterback.

The 53-yard pass from Henne to Ginn was hardly the only highlight during a wild fourth quarter late Monday night, when the lead changed hands five times and the Dolphins won 31-27 on a TD with six seconds left.

But Henne’s long toss underscored the dramatic change his strong arm brings to Miami’s offense, giving the Dolphins the deep threat they’ve lacked since Dan Marino retired nearly 10 years ago.

“A tremendous throw,” coach Tony Sparano said.

A shoulder injury ended Chad Pennington’s season Sept. 27, and Henne became the Dolphins’ 14th starting quarterback since Marino.

First win eases Hooverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pain

BY GREER SMITH ENTEPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CHARLOTTE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Winning can make aches and pains feel not quite so severe.

Carolina Panthers fullback Brad Hoover could attest to that on Sunday.

Helped by the rush of winning for the first time this season, Hoover wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as bothered by the back issues that put him in pain over much of the previous three week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels pretty good right now,â&#x20AC;?

Hoover said after the Panthers came from behind to defeat the Washington Redskins, 20-17.

That wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case after he wound up in pain during a 28-20 loss at Atlanta on Sept. 20.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hit a guy and my tailbone got out of alignment and hit my sciatic nerve,â&#x20AC;?

Hoover said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That caused me to lose all the feeling in my left leg and cause spasms in my back.â&#x20AC;?

Hoover remained in agHoover ony until a chiropractor adjusted his back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, it was a matter of getting all the swelling out and the muscles relieved,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The injury was severe enough that Hoover didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play the following week in a 21-7 loss to Dallas. After an open date, he returned to practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a couple of days, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bend over and touch my toes,â&#x20AC;? Hoover said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of those things where you

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that your back affects other parts of your body.â&#x20AC;?

Hoover went all the way against the Redskins. He was involved in one of the low moments of the game when his fourth down carry from the Washington 1 was ruled a fumble into the end zone when the ball would up in the hands of tight end Jeff King. Because a fumbled ball into the end zone cannot be recovered by another player for a touchdown, the ball went over to the Redskins on downs.

The carry was the only play that put Hooverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on the offensive production chart.

He dropped one pass from Jake Delhomme and saw another throw from Delhomme sail out of his reach.

NASCAR Hall set to induct first five

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CHARLOTTE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Debate and speculation over who will be the first class inducted into NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall of Fame ends today.

Voting that will select the five winners from among 25 finalists is scheduled at 11 a.m. The results are to be announced at 4 p.m. at the Charlotte Convention Center.

The finalists were chosen from a 20-person nominating committee that included seven people from NASCAR, two from the Hall of Fame, seven operators of tracks that host Cup races and representatives from four short tracks, one of them Bowman Gray Stadium.

Those on the nominating committee will be among 49 casting ballots today. The others include 14 media representatives, one representative from each of the four manufacturers participating in the Cup series, retired drivers, car owners and crew chiefs plus others with long ties to the sport.

The results of online balloting by fans will also count as one vote.

The 25 finalists include NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., his son and former NASCAR president Bill France; former drivers Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Sr., Cale Yarborough, Bobby Allison, David Pearson, Benny Parsons, Ned Jarrett, Lee Petty, Herb Thomas, Joe Weatherly, Buck Baker, Curtis Turner, Fireball Roberts, Red Bryon, Richie Evans, Tim Flock; former driver and car owner Junior Johnson, former car owners Bud Moore and Raymond Parks and current car owners Glen Wood, Richard Childress and Rick Hendrick.

Jarrett, Moore and Johnson are among the voters. The other retired

drivers on the panel in addition to Jarrett are Harry Gant and Ricky Rudd. The other former cars owner in addition to Moore and Johnson is Cotton Owens. The former crew chiefs are Barry Dodson, Waddell Wilson and Buddy Parrott.

France Sr., and seventime Cup champions Richard Petty and Earnhardt are considered virtual locks. Petty has said that he believes the first class should consist of those from the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very beginnings. Those among the nominees include early champions such as his father, Baker, Flock, Thomas and Red Byron, plus car owner Parks.

Others mentioned as likely selections include the younger France and Johnson, who won 50 races as a driver and 132 races and six championships as a car owner.

Induction ceremonies are scheduled next May in conjunction with the Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening and All-Star race week at what is now Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Motor Speedway.

PREP FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK: Kasey Redfern grinned and nodded to the affirmative: Was he trying to “make” a field goal on Friday night’s kickoff after a penalty moved the ball a mere 55 yards from the goal posts?

“It curved a little bit,” he said with a laugh. “I like just kicking the ball as hard as I can. I try to aim for the post sometimes, make a field goal.”

The Ragsdale senior went wide left on his attempt at a little fun, but that kick – and every one of his efforts from the 40-yard line – went deep into the end zone for Redfern touchbacks. His 8-0 Tigers score a lot, which in turn keeps Redfern kicking a lot. But so far this season, 50 kickoffs have resulted in 39 touchbacks.

In other words, the opposition has faced an 80-yard trek to the end zone 39 times. That helps explain why Ragsdale’s defense allows just 6.3 points per game.

“He’s as good as it is,” Tigers coach Tommy Norwood said following Friday’s 35-0 win at Southwest Guilford. “Every kickoff was in the end zone, he averaged about 35 yards punting – and he gets it so high, so there’s no return.”

Redfern only began punting this season, which is when the longtime standout keeper on the Ragsdale soccer squad elected to focus on football.

“The summer was tough, making the decision to stop playing soccer,” said Redfern, a soccer player from the age of 8.

“But it’s what I felt I needed to do for my future, college. I love every sport. I wish I could play them all.”

For all the booming kickoffs, 30 PATs and three field goals this season – on the heels of 50 PATs and six field goals last fall – Redfern hasn’t received any scholarship offers yet. A few recruiting trips are in the works, though, and Redfern remains hopeful.

“I’d like to go D-I, but I just want to play college football,” Redfern said.

Given that he’s added punting to his impressive place-kicking resume – and picked up the skill well enough to average 33 yards a kick with 11 inside the 20 – the chance should come.

“You never know about a kicker,” fretted Norwood. “A lot of times they want those guys to walk on and then they give them a scholarship. We just have to see. He’s pretty special. I hope (a good offer comes along). I’m not gonna have one any better.”

PRETTY IN PINK It was a no-brainer for the Southwest Guilford cheerleaders to sport bright pink hair ribbons, while the Ragsdale cheerleaders performed Friday night in special pink T-shirts.

October is, after all, breast can-

cer awareness month, and support for the cause has trickled down to the high school level the past several years.

On the football field, though, a number of Ragsdale players sported either bright pink wrist sweat bands or bright pink training tape wrapping wrists or ankles.

Defensive lineman Cedric Ellison said his decision to use the pink tape was to remember his late great-grandmother.

Norwood said the coaching staff had nothing to do with the tributes, though.

“It was the kids’ ideas, just something they wanted to do,” Norwood offered. “It says a little bit about our kids.”

Bison got close wins in each thanks to a defense that continues to excel.

Teams are averaging just 9.6 points per game against Central, which continues getting plenty of turnovers, sacks and big plays at big moments during this 6-1 campaign.

Jones said Langham broke up several passes and made key tackles against Northwest, while Aaron Leach and Jimmy Moorman stepped up in the face of the Vikings’ tricky wing-T offense.

“Our guys did a good job defensively of bending and not breaking,” Jones said. “Everybody has assignments, reads they have to make. You don’t see it every week, so you have to be disciplined. Once they NO SLUMP FOR THE BISON It took a remarkable play and catch you sleeping, it takes one a missed PAT for High Point play and they gash you.”

Johnson & Johnson report disappoints Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) – Investors grew cautious Tuesday after quarterly sales from Johnson & Johnson fell short of expectations and an influential analyst warned that bank shares are overheated.

Most stocks posted modest losses Tuesday, a day after major indexes finished at their best levels in a year. The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 15 points, though the Nasdaq composite index edged higher.

J&J was the first in a parade of big companies to report quarterly results this week, and a 5 percent drop in sales at the maker of health care products stirred concerns that companies have had to rely on cost-cutting to boost profits like they did in the first half of the year.

Investors are worried

that earnings will suffer if sales don’t improve.

Earnings reports are likely to shape sentiment this week as investors look for any signs that companies are making money because of increasing demand. J&J’s report left investors cautious.

“The market only makes sense at these levels if earnings can grow at a decent pace,” said Jerry Webman, chief economist at OppenheimerFunds Inc. “What we’re hearing now is OK, but you don’t get long-term earnings growth out of cost cutting.”

According to preliminary calculations, the Dow fell 14.74, or 0.2 percent, to 9,871.06. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 3.00, or 0.3 percent, to 1,073.19, while the Nasdaq rose 0.75, or less than 0.1 percent, to 2,139.89.

whether to disclose details to shareholders about Merrill’s mounting troubles.

On Tuesday, Bank of America spokesman Larry DiRita said, “Given the pressure in multiple inquiries to provide additional insight, we’ve decided to waive it in this matter to get the issue behind us.”

“We’ve got nothing to hide and are certain we did everything proper in

the context of the Merrill acquisition,” he added.

Charlotte-based Bank of America has agreed to waive privilege for investigations by the New York attorney general’s office, the Securities and Exchange Commission and a congressional committee, a person familiar with the bank’s agreement said on condition of anonymity.

New York Attorney

General Andrew Cuomo’s office is seeking to determine whether Bank of America misled shareholders about $3.6 billion in bonuses paid to Merrill employees and the investment bank’s mortgage lending losses, as well as whether the company failed to tell shareholders that it considered backing out of the deal before it closed on Jan. 1.

Cisco to buy Starent Networks Mass., makes equipment that allows carriers to tie their wireless networks to the Internet.

San Jose-based Cisco is paying $35 per share in cash, a 21 percent premium to Monday’s closing price of $29.03. Starent’s board has accepted the offer, and the

parties expects the deal to close early next year.

Starent shares rose $4.93, or 17 percent, to $33.96 in Tuesday morning trading.

The shares went public in 2007 at $12 per share, and hit an all-time low of $7.30 in November last year. Cisco shares rose 12 cents to $23.90.

Nan Shan, which serves more than 4 million life insurance policy holders in Taiwan, is the thirdlargest life insurer in the country by total premiums. Established in 1963, it operates a network of 24 branches and 450 agency offices.

The Primus consortium, which also includes investment firm China Strategic Holdings Ltd., will maintain the Nan Shan brand.

CIT Group says CEO plans to resign NEW YORK – CIT Group Inc., a major business lender that’s been devastated by the downturn in the credit markets, said Tuesday its chairman and CEO will resign at the end of the year.

Exec calls for private equity changes DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – The cofounder of Carlyle Group said Tuesday the private equity industry made mistakes ahead of the economic downturn and needs to change how it does business to succeed in the post-crisis era.

Speaking at an investment conference in Dubai, David Rubenstein said private equity firms helped inflate the credit bubble by buying companies at high prices, relying on large amounts of cheap debt and pursuing everlarger buyout deals.

“Private equity contributed to the problem. ... I think we made some mistakes ourselves,” he said.

“We tended to invest near

the bubble peak at very high multiples.”

Rubenstein, Carlyle’s managing director, said he believes the private equity industry has the potential to grow larger than it was before the recession as the economy recovers over the coming years.

But individual investments will likely be smaller than in the past and will force companies to take a larger stake in their acquisition targets, he predicted.

“The industry could address some of the problems that have been identified in the last couple of years and actually try to transform itself and grow itself again,” he said.

Report: Oil demand peaked in 2005 NEW YORK (AP) – An international energy think tank says oil demand in developed countries likely peaked in 2005, well before the recession sent crude prices plummeting.

IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates said Tuesday that oil consumption started to slump four years ago as consumers bought more efficient vehicles and countries expanded

their use of alternative fuels like ethanol. Vehicle ownership also has leveled off in the developed world, as has the number of women in the workplace, CERA said.

The research report focuses on demand from 30 countries that are part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and make up 54 percent of the world’s oil demand.

Ford, UAW agree to tentative deal DETROIT – Ford Motor Co. on Tuesday reached a tentative deal with the United Auto Workers union on contract changes, a major step in the automaker’s efforts to keep labor costs in line with crosstown rivals.

The deal includes concessions from the union, including a wage freeze for entry-level workers and work rule changes so employees can do more tasks.

J&J profit rises despite sales dip TRENTON, N.J. (AP) – Health care giant Johnson & Johnson on Tuesday reported a meager 1 percent increase in its third-quarter net income, as generic competition slashed sales of several of its top drugs and the recession hurt consumer product sales.

The maker of BandAids, biotech drugs and Acuvue contact lenses

DILBERT

said it earned $3.35 billion in the quarter, or $1.20 per share. In last year’s third quarter, it had net income of $3.31 billion, or $1.17 per share.

Analysts polled by Thomson Financial were expecting lower earnings per share, at $1.13, and revenue of $15.19 billion in the latest quarter.

J&J just missed the rev-

enue forecast, reporting total sales of $15.08 billion. That’s down 5 percent from a year ago.

However, the company raised its earnings forecast for all of 2009 to a range of $4.54 to $4.59 per share. The previous forecast was $4.45 to $4.55 per share. Analysts are expecting $4.52 per share, on average.

NEW YORK – Oil prices neared new highs for the year Tuesday as the dollar slipped against other major currencies, demonstrating how much the weakened U.S. currency can affect consumers globally.

The U.S. dollar index, where the U.S. currency is measured against other major currencies, hit a 14-month low Tuesday. Because crude is bought and sold in dollars, it essentially becomes cheaper for international investors who have flooded into energy markets despite a big surplus of oil.

Benchmark crude for November delivery gained 62 cents to $73.89 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

At one point, prices reached $74.47, just short of the yearly high of $75 reached on Aug. 25, when the driving season was still in full swing.
